John Rank, personnel manager for •he company, said members of UAW local 1002 approved the new contract on Dec. 21 by a four-to-one margin. Local 1002 represents about 500 maintenance and production employees at tbe Middleville plant. A news release read by Rank quoted Richard Milock. the company's i eneral manager, as saying “We’re delighted to have this commitment from the em­ ployees. It lets us begin our moder­ nization program with confidence that It will pay off for all of us in the years ahead." Milock cited "an urgent need to replace a glass lining furnace", and said the unions' ‘‘commitment" makes it possible to start other plant im­ provements at the same time. Rank said union and management officials met six times during Sep­ tember to iron out details of the new contract. The old contract is set to expire Aug. 24, 1984. Rank said the new contract involves no ‘ concessions” from tire union, and includes "som? increases in pensions and insurance", and some cost of living increases Heather Marie Burroughs, daughter of Kathleen and Monte Burroughs, is the first baby to be born in 1984 in Barry County. by Steve Horton Prairieville Township Supervisor Roy Reck requested help from the Barry County Board of Commissioners, asking that they support his efforts to lower the equalization department's proposed agricultural assessment in the township. Reck said that the department's use of three farm purchases in Prairieville and Orangeville Townships have ‘‘nearly doubled the value of tillable land" in his township. The sales include purchase 1981 of a 180acre farm and a 270-acre farm, both in Prairieville Township, by the Boudeman Estates of Kalamazoo County and of a 160acre farm on the Prairieville-Orangeville Township line by a Mr. VandeBunte. reportedly a large poulty breeder from the Martin area, this year. All three of the sales were to corporations. Reck said, and are not typical farm land purchases. “Our basic disagreement with John Airslie (of the county's Equalization Dept.) is over how sales of agricultural land are deter­ mined," Reck told the commissioners. "He uses a semi-regional approach and is using these three sales to determine this year’s agricultural assessments (in those adjoining townships). "Last year the land was valued at $550 per acre." Reck said. "Using these sales, the equalization department has put a value of $1013 per acre on the land." To combat that.

Legislative coffee cancelled Because the legislative session for the new year will not get underway until next week, no legislative break­ fast will be held on Monday. The breakfasts, sponsored by the Hastings Area Chamber of Commerce will resume on the second Monday of February at 8 a.m. at McDonald's restaurant. The sessions are attended by Sen Robert Welborn.

The mother of Barry County's first baby of 1984 said she "sensed" the day before that she would have a girl and that it would be born on New Year's Day. How right she was! Heather Marie Burroughs, a dark-haired beauty, made her debut at 7:12 a.m. on Jan. 1 at Pennock Hospital — the first to he bom this year in the county to parents who reside in the county. Heather's parents are Kathleen and Monte Burroughs of Delton. As the first local baby of the year, Heather is the winner of the Banne>'s annual contest and she and her family will receive gifts from 24-participating area businesses. Mrs. Burroughs expressed surprise at winning the contest and said she will enjoy receiving the gifts for her baby. Little Heather, who has a lot of black hair and pretty blue eyes, tipped the scales ai sixpounds and 54-ounces and measured 184inches long. The baby's maternal grandparents are Max and Sharon Boze of Cloverdale. On the paternal side, the grandparents are Jerry and Margaret Burroughs. In addition to Heather, there were two other babies bom on New Year's Day in Barry County, but their births occured after hers. As the first born. Heather will receive gifts from local merchants that include baby shoes, a baby ring, a baby cup, Baby's First Book, two $10 gift certificates from two different businesses, six $5 gift certificates from six different busmesses, a $10 start on a Christmas Club account, a S5 savings ac­ count, a vaporizer, a framed miniature portrait, a baby book, a balloon bouquet, a floral arrangement, slippers for Mom, a nightgown for Mom, a free dinner for Mom, a special gift, and a 1-year subscription to the Hastings Banner. Hastings allowed to take sales made from April 1.198! to March 1983 to use in determining assessments." Asked about the fact that corporations purchased three of the farms. Ainslie said "you can't convince the state tax com­ mission that farmers didn't buy them". "As far as they're concerned, the properties were bought by farmers for farming," he added. Ainslie said the state is requiring assessments Im* "six percent greater in value countywide this year over last year". "The only way that increase can be distributed fairly is through a study ac­ cording towhat the market shows." he said. “Commissioner Rae Hoare. who represents Prairieville. Barn and part of Orangeville Townships, said that corporate purchases are usually made for tax write-off reasons or as a way of investing money. "They're not generally arm's length sales which is property that's sold at a fair market valuev" Hoare exnlained. “It (the determination of the assessments) is not over with." Hoare said. Commissioner Ted McKelvey, who sits on the board's equalization committee, tutu Reck that he (too) "hoped to get values lowered". “If you can come up with more in­ formation (like the Goyings' sale) it will help." he noted “I understand what John's up against with the stale." McKelvey said he is seeking to throw out consideration of the three (corporate) sales until next year.

January 5,1984 Officials look to ’84 with optimism Area government, community and school leaders look to the upcoming year with op­ timism. William Cook. Hastings mayor, said the city council will soon be formulating three and five year plans, but that it is too early to address specifically the city's goals for the new year before the new budget is submitted. Cook did mention the replacement of a city water well, and widespread street repair as two possibilities in 1984. The redrilling of a well is certain, following the purchase of a 24acre tract near the present well field for that project: street repairs, and added con­ struction hinges more on the upcoming budget, which will be submitted by depart­ ure ' heads to the city treasurer Feb. 15. "Tirere have been lots of things cut back in the past few years due to budget reductions." said Cook. “Until we get a good 'guesstimate' on what revenue will be. it's hard to make predic­ Tyden heir donates cash for purchase of park land by Robert .1. Johnston Mrs. Florence Tyden Groos will donate the full $45,000 cost of purchasing a 24-acre addition to Tyden Park. In a letter which the Hastings City Council will receive. Monday. Mrs. Groos says that she would "like to donate the cost of the land to the city for the purposes of expanding the park as a continuing living memorial to my father. Emil Tyden and my husband. Richard A. Groos." The letter also says that since her father first gave the land for the park in 1938. she has "watched its development with great interest and I commend the city for tbe excellent management of this facility. I hope that the new expansion will continue to bring enjoyment to the community." Mrs Groos said that she first learned of the city's plans to expand the park in an article in last week's Banner. Michael Klovanich. director of public services for the city, said Wednesday that the 24-acre addition to the park would be the best way tor the city to obtain a site f* * a new 300-fnot well The council voted last week to purchase the property on the north side of the Thor­ napple River from Thomas and Margeurite Taffee of h35 W. Grant St. Klovanich said that the city needed three river Iron! lots on Taffee* Drive, valued at $10,000 to $12,000 each, for the* well site. He said that the lots were ali prime building Lloyd Goyings of 44 acres in Barr; Township - was given to the equalization department The Prairieville agricultural assessment, as a result of tliat disclosure, was lowered to $900. hut that's a figure that Reck said was still too high Goyings. who also addressed the com­ missioners. said that he purchased his land al $600 per acre. "I feel that's as much as I can afford to pay for farm land and stay in business." he said. Goyings noted that he had suppressed the sales price initially (his purchase was also made in 1981). but decided to disclose it after Ic .ning that the farm land values were being increased because of the other sales. “All three sales are corporate and do not reflect what farmers can afford to purchase land for." he added John Ainslie. director of the Equalization Dept., stressed that the matter was “still unsettled" and "very much up in the air". "This (determining assessments) is a give and take process.” he explained. “We will be meeting with them (Prairieville officials) to discuss the situation and it will be another 10 days before the matter is settled." Ainslie said that he used six farms from that part of the county to determine the market value. They include the two Boudeman Estate purchases, the Van­ deBunte one. the Goyings one. and an 80-acre sale of the Wells Farm on the OrangevillePrairieville line and a 35-aqre sale in Prairieville. "Four of the sales took place in 1981," he noted, "and two were made this year. We are sites on property owned by the Taffees. Although much of the remaining property had been platted by the Taffees and $15,000 had already been spent on water and sewer improvements, a large portion of the property was ruled unbuildable when the city adopted flood plain zoning several years ago That zoning requires that buildings be constructed above the 100 year flood plain. The 24 acres purchased includes nearly 2.800 feet of river frontage. Klovanich said that the well will be located near the intersection of Taffee Drive and Thorn Street (see map). A 12-inch water main will be run to the existing mains in Tyden Park and on Taffee Drive. By hacking up to the Taffee Drive main, he continued, the water system will have an emergency tie-in from the well if problems were to develop on the Tsden Park main. The Taffee Drive site was selected after city officials considered a site in Tyden Park. Klovanich said That site would have had to be located near the Broadway bridge and raised Io a level above the flood plain. "I estimate that we'll save $2O.O(M) on (he construction of an access road because we would have had to build a road in Tyden Park above the flood plain to the well site." Klovanich said. "We would have had to have an embankment along Broadway and would have ruined a lot of landscaping " Sites east of the water works on Mill Street Continued, page 2 tions," said Cook. He added that total revenues would probably be up this year, but how the new figures stack up against in­ flation is still unknown. "Our costs have been going up too,” said Cook Carl Schoessel, Hastings Area Schools superintendent said it is imperative that the schools progress in 1984. "We're not going to be satisfied with the status quo." he said, “We have areas of great concern, and we’re going to address those areas in a timely fashion. "The passing of the millage allowed for restoration of some programs, and the ad­ dition of others. Now we would like to demonstrate to the community that these programs deserve support." said Schoessel. He gave as examples the reopening of the libraries, reinstatment of counselors, and the establishment of a computer literacy program. "We do have annual goals in the schools which we will be carrying into the next year, and we will work on these goals." said Schoessel. pointing tu the ongoing studying ot curriculum areas, and the schools' method of operation. Paul Kiel, Barry County Board of Com­ missioners chairman, said that Barry's biggest cost item in the year ahead will be computers. "We should be able to provide better and faster service, and maybe help out some of the townships,” said Kiel. Kiel said the greatest need for com­ puterization lies in the Barry County Friend of the Court, "due to state regulations " Kiel said other topics for 1984 will be county tourism and economic development. "Outside of that, things are going pretty well. We still have to budget our money." said Kiel, who added that the commissioners will balance the books in 1984. just as they did last year. Mike Trahan, chairman of the Joint Economic Development Commission said Hastings and Barry County will continue to cooperate for economic development throughout the coming year, and he said "I think 1984 is going to be a goodyear." "One area of thrust will be to work with business people to develop financing, to make them more aware of the monies available." said Trahan. He said the JEDC will continue to sponsor seminars throughout the year aimed at helping people put together a business plan for financing. "We will try to keep the roots strong by keeping industry in Barry County, and to try to encourage good, solid entrepreneurs to come in by helping them and directing them where to pu for financing." said Trahan.

Here's a list of things we d like to see take place this year. SCHOOLS: The obvious priority for the Hastings schools is to pass the renewal of 26.53 operating mills. The school board and administrators haven’t yet talked publicly about when an election will be held or what kind of campaign they will undertake. The schools clearly would be decimated without passage of the renewal and school of­ ficials have no choice but to work for passage of the millage until the task is com­ pleted. Voters approved a special millage in October to fund specific programs and items. The gains made since that election set a new direction for our schools and should not be reversed. ( IT3 : The city government has already taken some positive steps toward solving the problems of the water system and these should be continued. The city hopes to have a new well functioning by the end of the summer and this should be a priority. Once the well is functioning, the council should take steps to keep the water system solvent and make improvements where needed, while keeping the cost of water and sewer at a price that people and businesses can afford to pay. The council must walk a tight rope here, balancing between what is best for the system and what the people are willing to pay. It is no easy task and one that is sure to continue bringing con­ troversy to City Hall. The council should also make it a priority to bring the rental housing ordinance to life. The ordinance was passed after years of dealing with complaints from neighbors about substandard housing — substandard, that is. in the eyes of the people who have to live with unimproved houses on their block. We have seen, unfortunately, that some landlords are not willing to maintain their property properly without a nudge from City Hall. City officials should move to give them the needed nudge by implementing the ordinance tliat is already on the books. COUNTY: An issue that has repeatedly arisen over the last decade is fairness in agricultural assessments. Complaints were made at the last board of commissioners meeting that some land is taxed at a higher rate than what appears to be equallyvalued land in other townships. In the past, county officials have been forced to raise assessments by the State Tax Commission and have said that their hands are tied locally. But. this is no help to the farmers. Commissioners, the Equalization Department and assessors must work together to resolve the problem. If it cannot be solved locally, they should enlist state legislators to work on a solution. Commissioner James Gordon raised another issue several weeks ago that bothers us. He is troubled by negative attitudes in the county and said that he may not seek reelection because of them. If by negative attitudes, Goron meant that he is dissatisfied with people who oppose his ideas, then he must personally learn to deal with that and compromise, or indeed, not seek reelection. But, if he is talking about subversion of programs and policy by a nagging group of negativisls, then those naggers must learn to deal better with the officials and be willing to accept the policies set forth by our elected representatives. County officials should set a priority of creating a spirit of discussion and compromise in setting policy and programs. ECONOMICS: The city-county Joint Economic Development Commission is the only government body that we have working totally on improving the county's economic situation. Fortunately for them, the improved economy is already taking care of some of the problems. Still, the JEDC should set a priority of heading off problems at the pass, so to speak. The situation that occured at Flexfab, last year, where new construction was almost sabotaged by government should never have occured. The JEDC should continue to work toward improving the relationship bet­ ween government, business and industry so that this situation does not occur again. Since the local governments have designated the JEDC as their economic spearhead, the JEDC should be t’.ie first place that local business people turn for assistance with problems. It might also help if the city and county increase their funding for the JEDC so that it can offer more services. There are many other issues that will be on the agenda for action in 1984 that deserve attention. The items mentioned here are merely a beginning for positive steps in the new year. Jose Galvin, 58, Upton Rd., was one of 11 persons to die on Barry County roads in 1983, after a head-on collision on M-37, near Rork Rd. ’84 forecast.,.continued from page 1 “There's all kinds of money out there, it’s just a matter of knowing how to get iL There's all kinds of angles available to businesses," said Trahan. "We’ve got some shots at things we haven’t*had in the past." Trahan credited the working relationship of the city, county and the state. "There’s been more and more of a community effort in doing things together, and instead of the county, city and state working at odds." Trahan added that county residents maysee a Barry County manufacturers’ trade show this year — "There’s been some con­ versation about county industry ^getting together for a trade show...that’s one of the many things we've been looking at." New park land —.continued from page 1 were rejected, he said, because a new main would have had to be constructed to pipe the water from the well to the treatment station. Construction costs are about $15,000 per block, he added. Complicating the location of the new well was the requirement that the well be separated by 600 feet from the two existing wells One of those wells is located in the park and the second is al the water works. Klovanich said they plan to install a 1.500 gallon per minute capacity well. The well being replaced was drilled to 75 feet and pumped 750 gallons per minute Ixist year, it began pumping sand and had to be capped. "This 'newly purchased! land is great for park facilities."Klovanich continued. "There are over $15,000 worth of waler and sewer assessments already paid for. I wish that we had them, in the Fish Hatchcry Park. Here, we can easily build restrooms.” He said that although much of the land is in the flood plain, park structures can withstand floods and still be used for most of the year. TOURISM.,.an idea still worth pursuing Fred Jacobs, president of the Hastings Area Chamber of Commerce, predicts that industrial growth will continue in Hastings "due to the activity and enthusiasm of area industrialists. "I think we're on the verge of some retail growth, with Big Wheel opening in the spring, it will renew an excitement in retail growth that’s been long overdue here," said Jacobs. He added that he expects a spurt in home construction here in 1984. “Let’s all hope we well see a continued cooperation in the area and that economic development can work for us in Hastings and Barry County throughout 1984, so next year will have lots of report about the ‘success of 1984'”. said Jacnbs. "We re really fortunate that we don’t have people who built there." he said. Klovanich said that the city council has not yet decided how the new land will be developed. He envisions a walking bridge across the river from the existing park for access. "Our main concern will be to develop the well this summer." he said. The original ten acres of Tyden Park were donated on June 10.1938 by the International Seal and Lock Company. They were ac­ cepted by the council on Sept. 9 of that year. Among the provisions of the deed to the land was that the property be used ex­ clusively as a public park and that it not be used for conducting any commercial en­ terprise. The land had been used by a sawmill before it was purchased by International Lock and Seal. Klovanich said that in the mid-1960 s a landscape architect was hired to redevelop the park after some 300 elm trees died. Many of the plantings made then, he said, are • coming into full growth now.

What's taken place during the past couple years though has been the spotlighting and enhancement of that already solid foundation, the further expansion of that segment of our economy. The effort — focused mainly through the “Say Yes to Michigan" campaign — can only be termed a rousing success. There have been the tangible benefits of increased visitors (The Dept, of Transportation reported that ‘83 marked the first year visitors to the state's ten travel information centers exceeded the two-million mark) and of keeping more Michiganians at home during their vacation and leisure times. '■ he intangible benefits would be an increased sense of pride about our many natural and man-made resources and attractions and a keener sense by local governments and by private concerns of their own tourist potentials.

Tliat figure ties a five-year low among year-end county death tolls, which came in 1980 James Oor, Barn County undersheriff, says that low figure is partially due to the fact that there were no multiple fatals in the county last year. Li 1982,19 persons died in 12 separate mishaps. Oor speculates that the tougher drunk driving laws, which debuted in May. coupled with the sheriff department’s stepped up drunk driving patrols, may also have had a hand in the lower death toll. Sheriff officials say that 60 percent of 1982’s fatalities involved drinking drivers, giving Barry one of the highest per capita alcohol-related fatality rates in the slate. That figure in part prompted a $50,000 stalefunded program to put patrol cars on the county's roads aimed specifically against inebriated drivers, said Oor. According to one sheriff estimate. 40 percent of 1983's fatalities were alcoholrelated. The 11 killed last year brings the five-year total of those killed on Barn roads to 66. as compiled by the Michigan State Police. Twelve died in 1979.11 in 1980, 13 in 1981 and 19 in 1982. Of the eleven fatalities, two involved pedestrians. On July 22, Robert Hughes. 25. W. Green St., suffered head injuries when he was struck by a car as he crossed W. State St. near the fairgrounds during fair week. He died two days later, on his 26th birthday, in a Grand Rapids hospital. The second pedestrian fatal came Aug. 29. when9-year-old Eric Cronk of Woodland was Robin Gonsoldes Larry Baum Nora Hooten Douglas DeCamp • QUESTION • The Hastings Airport is slated for a 900-foot runway extension, additional taxiways and parking, as part of a $450,000 expansion, funded for the most part by federal dollars. Work may start in late spring. Do you think Hastings needs a larger airport? Robin Gonsaldes. Hastings: "Yes. It will bring a lot of people in. The Grand Rapids airport is getting so big...I think it will bring a lot more business into Hastings." Nora Hooten. Hastings: "If the people here think they need it, it's all right with me, and if the people with the land around there don’t object to it...There must be somebody who thinks we need it." Peggy Willison. Dowling: “I don't think we need it. Other than the Dawn Patrol, howmuch is it used? There aren't that many planes tied down out there so I don’t see why they want to expand." Barry Voornman. Delton: "I’m glad the firport is being expanded. I know that the Kent County Airport is crowded, and a lot of smaller planes are being pushed out...they have to go somewhere. I don't think the extra traffic could hurt Hastings, or Barry County." Larry Baum. Hastings Fiberglass Products: "I’ve got mixed emotions. When Earl < W. McMullin) was killed all the monies that were donated were to go towards the expansion of the airport so in that respect I would be for it. Whether it’s really going to help business in Hastings or not. 1 rather doubt. "I guess if anything, it would help us. We have a lot of people that fly in to sec us almost every week and they have to fly ‘n to Grand Rapids. It might bi that if we had an expanded airport some of the corporate airplanes could come in here if it was a better facility. And if we had a better facility, we might be interested in a corporate air­ plane. I really think it would lie an asset to the community and to business." Douglas DeCamp. Flexfab: ’ We never use it (the airport^ although we do have many Peggy Willison Ivan Snyder lorry Voornmon Jan Mullett customers that have flown in their -mall aircraft to pick up parts and so forth. So in that respect, yes, we certainly could use a better, upgraded airport for service to our customers. "At this particular time, all of our people have to fly into Grand Rapids and we nave to pick them up. We have very few that have their own jet that would use our airport.” But, DeCamp also said that when the company's big customers are planning to pick up shipments they always ask about the size of the Hastings airport "so they can send the right type of aircraft. I guess in that respect, it would be very beneficial to ha ve a larger airport, at least one large enough to handle a small jet or a smail cargo-type airplane." Ivan Snyder, Hastings: "I can't see any sense in it, myself. I've been told for years that we have to have an airport for business and nobody uses it. I was on the airport committee fora long time and worked with it when I was mayor and on the (dty) council. Il (the airport) doesn't pay its way. It r.-ever will, I don't think. I don't think any airjwrt does. I think it's too close toGiand Rapids to spend that kind of money (here). I'd like to see the city and county get that (grant) money and use it on projects that would be more useful. “If they make it (the airport) bigger, it will be a bigger added expense” — with higher bills for snow removal and to light the ex­ panded runway, etc., he said. "I think it would make a better industrial park or something to benefit the people." Jan Mullett. Hastings: "As fa ..astings needing an airport, yes, I think its wonderful, particularly when they get runways of a size to accommodate more than little private planes If they have improved facilities perhaps there arc other people who will be interested in using them." "I don't forsce Bliss doing that now that we are a private-owned company and we just have the two facilities, here and in Ohio. I don't perceive Bliss buying a company plane and going hack and forth that way. "I think it’s a wonderful idea (for an ex­ panded airport) anything that makes Hastings more accessible is going to be good for us." �The Hostings Banner— Thursday. January 5. 1984, Page 3 School to attack weak spots by Norma Peterson Acting on the results of the Michigan Educational Assessment Program test taken by 734 Hastings school students, school of­ ficials will be meeting over the next weeks to look for weak spots in school programs. The tests, administered to fourth, seventh and tenth grade students in September, showed that Hastings has moderate needs in mathematics, but low needs in reading, where nearly al! of the students scored above 75 percent in all grades tested. Dr. Earl Newman, director of educational services, said that teachers have received classroom lists showing the results of in­ dividual student performances. Teachers are already using this in­ formation for remedial instruction, he said. Newman said the meetings planned for administrators, principals and teachers will have a two-fold purpose — to develop a plan that will bring student performance up to the level of the test objectives set by the state and to examine the curriculum for gaps in the way information is pres nted tn the students. Minimum requirements are set by the state for 28 objecti /es in mathematics and 24 objectives in reading. "The test scores enable a district to focus on the task at hand, the last is to take the kids you have and do the best you can," Newman said. “The goal is to meet as many of the objectives tht are being tested." Of the 221 fourth graders tested, 78.3 percent met or surpassed the objectives in math and 75.1 percent mastered the reading objectives. The state reported that the fourth graders have low needs and are stable in both reading and math. At the seventh grade leVel, 64.1 percent of the 248 particiating students met the math requirements and 85.1 percent met the reading objectives. The state said that they have moderate needs in math but are showing signs of improvement. In reading, they have low needs and are stable, the state said. Of the 265 tenth graders tested, 65.5 per­ cent met math requirements and 83.4 per­ cent met reading requirements. Par­ ticipating tenth graders have moderate needs but show signs of improvement in math, the state reported, and have low needs and are stable in reading. “The error that people frequently make is to try to draw conclusions between years, which is not accurate.'l Newman said. "We are talking about different kids. The test is given at three year intervals, so we’re testing three years of instruction rather than one."

The chilling challenge is scheduled for the final day of the Gun Lake Winter Festival. Jan. 27, 28 and 29. Polar Bear dipping was introduced to the local winter festival in 1983 when Gun Lake resident. Hank Ringlever, took a solo swim under the watchful eyes of hundreds of teeth-chattering spectators.

Wed Prayer Bibie7pm Hickory Corners HICKORY CORNERS WESLEYAN. Rev The beginnings of the Catholic Church in Barry County pre-date the Civil War with the first Mass believed to have been held at the home of Patrick McPharlin in Hastings Township. In the early 1850s Catholics met oc­ casionally in a log church situated near the old Yankee Springs Tavern with missionary priests coming here from Jackson, Kalamazoo, Niles and other towns to conduct services. In March of 1873 a cooper shop on Hanover Street in Hastings was purchased for use as'a church with priests coming from Grand Rapids and Jackson every month or two to say Mass. The first resident priest in Hastings was Father Francis Antwerp. In 1881 or 1882, a heavy snow caved in the roof the shop and for two or three years services were held in various parishioners' homes. During that interval construction on a new frame building began, the completition coming in 1886. For the next 23 years Catholics met there, but in 1909 it too met with ill-fate and was destroyed by fire. From then until the present church was completed in 1915, services were held in the school hall. The edifice for the St. Rose of Lima Catholic Church is, of course, made of stone, its architechture Romanesque. Materials for it were collected from stone piles on a nearby farm. Much of the laying of the stones was done by volunteer labor. The church's interior, along with the main portion of the auditorium, includes the main altar and two side altars, one of St. Joseph and the other of the Blessed Virgin Mary. The ^stations of the cross, molded in plaster and painted, were donated by another parish that was rebuilding its church ai that time. In addition there are 18 stained glass windows, given to the church in memory of many of tlie original parishioners, plus four small windows above the mainaltar. given to the church by its various organizations Those small windows depict St. Matthew, St. Mark. St. Luke and St John In November of 1947. Rev. Fr. John V. Dillion announced that the parish "debt In 1909 the frame church - constructed in 1886 — was destroyed by fire. Mass was then said in the school hall until ’915 when the present edifice was complet­ ed in the pastorate of Father John Lindskey. free" 36 years after construction of the building with a final payment of $3150. The follovring year a double jubilee was celebrated, honoring the 75th anniversary of the local church’s founding and also the 25th anniversary of Fr. Dillion's ordination. The first Catholic Church in Hastings began in a cooper shop located on Hanover street in 1873. The St. Rose School located next to the church on the north side — has undergone twoconstruction phases during the past sixty years. In 1924 the older building was rebuilt and then in 1961 the new port.on was erected at an expansion of the facilities. In 1952 the Burton House - located on the south side of the church and also built of native stone - was purchased from the estate of Mrs. Belle H Burton for $25,000. The (ormer rectory, meanwhile, was pur­ chased by a family and moved off the location. The new portion of the school is on that site. Since then there have been a number of improvements to the building and grounds. They include the redecorat ion of the church's interior in 1963, a new organ installed during the 1975 Christmas season, a new kitchen and community room built and furnished in the church basement, new doors for the front and side entrances installed in 1976, the bell tower repaired and enclosed, and a new public address system added. Fr. Robert Consani was the church’s pastor until earlier this year when Fr. Leon Pohl took over the parish. Fr. Herman Cletus continues as the church's assistant pastor. St. Rose of Lima is pari of the Dioscese of Kalamazoo. �The Hastings Bonner — Thursday.

January 5. 1984 — Page 6 what's cookin’ Aud’s Antics... by Elaine Gilbert Collecting old gambling devices This Week Featuring... Mary Lamb A Hastings resident for the past 34-years, Mary Lamb has enjoyed being active in politics, the school and the community. It was the school that brought Mary and her late husband, Lee. to Hastings in 1949 when he accepted the superintendent's position here. He .continued in the district's top post until his retirement in 1961. Mary, herself, logged 27-years at a school employee. She did clerical work for 10-years at Hastings High School, starting in 1963 in the counseling office and then in the prin­ cipal's office until she retired in 1973. Before that, soon after she graduated from Flint Central High School, Mary was hired for a clerical position at that city’s new Emerson High School. She later worked in that district's main office for the superintendent and assistant superintendent. She had first moved to Flint with her parents at the beginning of her senior year in high school. At first she said she dreaded the idea of the change from a small school in Ovid, Mi to a city school in Flint with 400students in her graduating class. "I hid to take a street car to school when I moved to Flint," she laughed. After awhile, 1 liked it (the new school). I started meeting more people and they had a dance every noon...so it wasn't so bad. Mary was born on a farm about a mile south of Burlington in Calhoun County. She lived thereuntil she was in the seventh grade when her parents moved to Ovid, near Owosso and St. Johns. For six years, Mary and tier husband lived in Manitowoc, Wisconsin where her husband was a school superintendent before they moved to Hastings. Their daughter, also named Mary, lives in E. Lansing. There are two-grandchildren. The Republican Party has been dear to Mary's heart and she has put a lot of her engeries into it. In 1981, she was awarded a Slate Legislative Tribute for her efforts of “hard and distinguished work for the Republican Party.” Mary has served two terms as vice chairman of the Barry County Republicans and she has been active with the county women's Republican organization too. She has helped with campaigning and one of her most recent efforts was to help organize a local telephoning committee several years ago. Senior citizens arespecial to Mary too. For quite a few years she helped serve hot meals to seniors in the lunch program. As a member of the Presbyterian Church, she is active in the women's society and a church circle. She’s also been a long-time member of the Hastings Women's Club and has served as its corresponding secretary. “When I first moved here I joined Hospital Guild 23 and I'm still a member," she said. "I've always liked antiques,” Mary said when talking about her hobbies, especially dishes and furniture. "I've alwp«’s loved going to auctions and looking for old dishes like the ones 1 have with a wild flower pattern." Mary also has refinished some of the an­ tiques she has purchased. And she still uses some living room furniture that had belonged to her parents. Old trivets also catch her eye. In fact, she has a collection of about two-dozen black, flat iron trivets. Interests in ceramics, knitting and crocheting are hobbies Mary said she once pursued but doesn't any more. Currently, reading is high on her list of pastimes. And she adds. “I like to take trips and be on the go.” Mary also collects recipes. A favorite recipe for Blitz Squares is one she has had for 36-years. "I usually make it every Christ­ mas...it's a nice little cookie recipe. It keeps moist and that’s one reason why I like it," she said. Mary’s Blitz Squares Cream together: ty-cup butter (or oleo) and 14-cup sugar. Add 4-eggs (beaten). Sift together and add to mixture: 1-cup flour, 4-tecspoon baking powder, and Ci­ teaspoon nutmeg. Add: Rind and juice of Mr-lemon and rind of 1-orange. Place in two 8 by 10-inch pans and spread quite thin. Sprinkle with fine walnut meats and over that sugar and cinnamon (press down). For Christmas, add red and green glaced pineapple, cut fine, to the topping. Bake 20-minutes at 375-degrees. When Mary Lamb is in the kitchen, baking is a favorite way she likes to spend her time. One of her favorite recipes is for Blitz Squares which she likes because they stay so moist. In the photo, she displays some of the goodies she baked for the holidays. Two-earner couples can avoid bill for more income tax 'orking couples—especially those with few or no dependents—more often than not will owe tax when they file their annual tax returns, unless they have paid additional taxes during the-year-v-the Internal Revenue Service says. The reason for owing additional lax is the withholding rates. They are based solely on each individual's wages and do not take a spouse’s wages in account. There are several alternatives for a working couple to avoid a large tax bill at filing time, according to the IRS. Generally, filing separate returns is not the answer, because those rates are higher still, the IRS points out. Yet it is good tax planning to consider the possibility. Filing separately might be a tax advantage, but if it is not, there are two other choices. One way to confront underwithholding is to file a new Form W-4, "Employee's Withholding Allowance Certificate”, with the employer claiming fewer or no allowances or requesting additional withholding. Also, married taxpayers may choose to have taxes withheld at if they were single. Another choice is to pay additional tax by means of estimated taxes. This means that the tax is paid in quarterly installments directly to the IRS using payment vouchers that come with Form 1040-Es, "Estimated Tax for Individuals”. Forms W-4 and 1040-ES are available from IRS. Most employers have supplies of Form W-4. While most employers are willing to honor the wishes of employees by withholding additional income tax, they are under no obligation to do so. If an employer refuses to withhold aditional lax, the best choice then may be to pay estimated tax. the IRS ex­ plains. Additional information may be found in the IRS Publication 5(6, "Tax Withholding and Estimated Tax", available free by using the order Mank in the tax package or by calling the IRS Forms-Tax Information number listed in the telephone directory.

A study in early gambling devices is not only a scenario of an era. it is a reflection on human nature. Whether we condone gambling or not. the fact is that Americans are the most avid gamblers in the world; whether on horses, football pools, baseball scores, boxing, election results or what time the ice goes out of the river. It is estimated that 80 percent of our adult population gambles on something. The history of the lotteries dates back to Biblical times when the Roman soldiers cast lots for Jesus' raiment as He hung from the cross. Half a dozen lotteries operated in each of the 13 colonies before the American Revolution. All were con­ sidered respectable; an acceptable form of voluntary taxation. In today's world, betting on hor­ seracing is the most popular form of gambling National sports events oc­ cupies the number two spot, with the World Series and the Kentucky Derby drawing the greatest number of bet­ tors. Admission tickets, souvenirs, annuals, racing stubs or other paraphernalia are now collector's items; the older and scarcer they are, the more desirable and the higher the price. The first slot machine was handmade by Charles Fey in a small machine shop in San Francisco in 1895. It became an inslant success in local gambling establishments. The machine was called the “Liberty Bell" and showed diamonds, spades, hearts, bells, and horseshoes. There was no jackpot It was smaller than present-day models but mechanically similar. Fey rented it out fur half the profits it drew. Even though he could not supply the demand for his invention, he refused to allow others to copy it. Finally in 1907, Herbert Mills, in Chicago, made a similar machine using a jackpot, bars, bells, plums, oranges, cherries and lemons with an automatic pay-off system. Mills called his invention “Operator's Bell”, and improvements followed in ensuing years By 1910, slot machines were found in every city and many villages throughout the country. Early table-top models, many originally found on the counters of food and drink establishments and tobacco stores, interest the modern-day collector. When slot machines went “un­ derground'' because of legal restric­ tions, pinball machines appeared; an attempt on the part of the "slots" owners to stay in business in case the slot machines could once more be operated legally. Pinball machines were operated primarily for amusement, not gam­ bling, and were a direct descendant of an ancient game called Bagatelle, still for sale in a number of toy stores. One of the earliest forms of Bagatelle, “Drop Case", was played with marbles on the inclined inside of a large glass-covered wooden box. Flashing lights and sound effects were added, but by 1931, pinball had lost its gambling characteristics and was advertised as a skill game with a free feature added. If you won the game, you could play another one free. Other “spin-offs” of the slot machines are the vending machines, punch-boards, and push-cards. All are highly collectible today. These gam­ bling devices were most popular in the 1930s and 1940s. Early vending machines were filled with various kinds of merchandise. After depositing a coin, pulling a lever or pushing a button, you may have purchased a gumball, a drop of per­ fume, photographic views, peanuts, matches or other types of merchandise. Sometimes it was of equal value to the coin, but often of less worth than the deposit. Early gumball machines of various types are very collectible today. Some of these early machines vended music, the forerunner of the present day music-boxes. They were made of wood, rnetal or papier-mache. Countertop models are especially in demand. In the 1930s and '40s, “punch boards" were displayed in beer parlors, tobacco shops, pool halls and other places frequented by men. The merchandise prizes for punch-board winners ran from watches to fishing rods to table silverware to handbags. The forerunner of the punch-board and push-card was the handmade wooden raffle board used in saloons as early as 1795. A hundred or more quarter-inch holes were drilled into these boards and each hole contained a rolled-up, numbered slip of paper. The player paid a coin for a chance to push out. with a nail, one or more of these numbered slips of paper. If the number drawn matched a predetermined number, he was declared the winner The raffle game-board disappeared around 1815 and was again revived around 1870 when the game was made of cardboard. Punch-boards flooded the country at the turn of the century, and from 1910 to 1915, a total of 30 million had been sold to establishments. The popularity of the boards reached its peak in 1939 when 50 million were sold in just cne year. Crooked manufacturers and con­ niving places of business have led to punch-boards and push-cards being outlawed in most states since 1950. Today, these unused cards and boards are being sought for avidly by collec­ tors, along with countertop slot machines, vintage bingo cages, gumball and ether vending models and early roulette wheels. Closely related to lotteries is the modern game of bingo. Bingo is a version of an Italian parlor game called lotto. Keno is a descendant of lotto, which was popular in .New Orleans as early as the 1840s. Early bingo cards were called Tombola cards. An estimated 50 million people play bingo every week. It has been legalized and raises more money for charitable organizations than any other form of money-raising project. Collectibles here are many Tombola cards, discs or markers, daubers, manually operated bingo cages, even bingo balls are being collected. Playing cards are collectible. They were in existence in Europe nearly 600 years ago and hundreds of years before that in the Orient. They predate the invention of the Gutenberg press. “Craps”, history's fast action game, originated with America's southern black man, and today is played in casinos worldwide. Full (playing) decks of cards — bearing pictures of notables such as Jenny Lind, Shirley Temple, and Marilyn Monroe — are eagerly sought and valuable. Original wrappers or boxes from vintage cards are also of value. The monetary rewards of a vintage gambling device is greater as a collectible than most amounts of money ever “won" by them! An excellent New Year's Resolution would be to stop gambling and start collecting! Happy New Year. �The Hastings Bonner — Thursday, January 5. 1984 — Page 7 COMMON COUNCIL Woodland News ■ irr Woodland Eire Department was called to the home of Darwin McClelland. Jr., on Davenport Road at 12:30 p.m. Friday. Dec. 10. When they got there, the house was full of smoke from the chimney, but the firemen never could find any fire. After they cleared the house of smoke, the chimney was examined, and it was found that the chimney was completely blocked by soot and creosote. Fire Chief Ron Coats said that it is recommended by safely people that the chimney of any fireburning stove or fireplace be examined "at least" once monthly during the burning season If there is any noticeable accumulation of black stuff inside, it should be cleaned before a fire is s'arted again. However, it is Fire Chief Coats’ personal opinion that even a monthly check is not often enough for everyone. He stated that some stoves, fireplaces and chimneys do not burn as efficiently as others and build up deposits of ?ombustible material taster. Also, he said, that some wood burns more completely than others. Anytime there is any smoke in the house from a wood fire, the fire should be left to go out and the chimney examined before it is relighted. In some installations, this can he as often as weekly. Coats said that there are no hard and fast rules, but that everyone who bums wood in their home needs to be aware that chimneys can catch fire and need to be checked and cleaned. There are many ways to clean a wood stove or fireplace chimney, including calling a professional chimnev sweep. If any Woodland Township resident needs advice on how to inspect or clean a chimney, they can ask any Woodland Township fireman. Fire Chief Coats also mentioned that the fire number will be changed on April 15 when Woodland's new telephone system goes into operation. Everyone who lives in the township should be aware that the old number will no longer be in service. The new number will be widely distributed and published in local newspapers during the month of March, as well as listed in new directories that will be distributed before the changeover.

Most of those checking packages give you several standard services—like unlimited checking and personated checks at no extra charge The Club gives you all those things, too.

The Club does—$19,000 worth. Most checking packages also offer discounts—sometimes useful, sometimes not. The Club gives you national discounts with major companies.

First-year varsity coach Kelly Yarger greets four returning lettermen back to the team including senior setter Tammy Connor, senior frontrow-backrows Lorrie Jaynes, Terri Kessenich and Heather Barnes. Other seniors on the team are Laura Hause and Maria Tellez, an exchange student from Columbia. The four juniors are the team are Chris Kruko. Laurie Snyder. Sue Wallace, Erin Jacobs, Tracy Spillane, and Jenni Niemann. Yarger says the tournament pointed out some of the team's deficiencies including communication. Yarger admits that could be one of the team’s problems in the early going. "I don't think the girls realize the im­ portance ol communication." says Yarger. a Central Michigan graudate and former volleyball player al Hastings. “I told them at practice and I think they’re only starting to realize some things. It'll come in time." Yarger says the Saxons should be a plus .500 team in 1984 — provided the team develops consistency. Right now in addition to the communication gaps, the serving is inconsistent. But Yarger points out the team's strong suits of passing and depth should help ac­ complish that goal of a .500 season. “Overall we have good depth." says Yarger. "The people who aren't playing are almost as strong as the ones who are playing." As for passing. Yarger points to Snyder. Barnes, and Wallace. Yarger also lists Connor and Jacobs as excellent setters. 1984 Barry County (Front row, from left) Tracy Spillane, Erin Jacobs, Maria Tellez, Jenni Niemann, (middle row, from left) Laurie Snyder, Laura House, Sue Wallace, Terri Kessenich, (back row) Kelly Yorger, manager Orasa Rangsichainirand, Heather Barnes,* Tammy Connor, Lorrie Jaynes.

Year of struggle ahead for Maple Valley They say there’s a silver lining to every dark cloud, right? If that’s true. Bill Christensen is looking mighty hard for his silver lining. The coach of the Maple Valley volleyball team has four girls back from a 5-13 team in 1983. Besides that, says Christensen, the team will be lacking in critical height as well. None-the-less, Christensen thinks that with help the program can grow in 1984. “1 want to see the volleyball program improve," he says. “I’d like to see more attendance at the games. That would help." What the fans would see is an inex­ perienced 'earn led by senior returnees Teri Swift and Jane Shippel (front row). Loretta Mehan and Amy Cole (setters). Christensen says Melinda Wagner, a junior and not returnee, should also contribute. Christensen says serving and receiving should be his team's strong suits. As far as the program as a whole, he admits the jayvee team, “has as much talent as I’ve ever seen." Christensen says his team will be striving for consistency — part’cularly in serving — this winter. "We don't want to give the ball away," he says. "Also we’d like to improve the spiking." Christensen likes St. Philip and Pennfield from the volleyball-nuts Battle Creek area as SMAA frontrunners. "I think we’ll be competitive with Springfield, Olivet, and Bellevue." says Christensen.

Vikes hope for title repeat There's no doubt there is talent on this year's Lakewood volleyball team. The only question is is it enough? Lakewood volleyball coach Sharon Krauss has five girls back from a team that com­ piled a 25-9 record and were Tri River co­ champions a year ago. Is that enough talent to challenge for the title again? Krauss isn’t sure. "We have enough talent back io do a pretty good job," is all Krauss will say. "We’re going to run a couple different offense this year and we'll be more flexible than last year.” Gone are all-staters Karrie Price and Kristi Seese. Back are seniors Michelle Bchrenwald, Gina Thorp, Melanie Thompson and Becky Geiger and junior Kellie Price. Krauss is also counting on sophomores Annette Ross and Diane Possehn, both up from a jayvee team that tied for the league championship. Aside trom that experience, Krauss is counting on serving and passing as strong suits this season. "We'd like to sene 100 per cent," says Krauss. "If we can just get the ball in play we'll play a lot better." The Vikes opened play in the Hastings Invitational on Dec. 28. Lakewood beat Lowell and Delton but lost to Gull Lake to finish third in the tourney. "1 was proud of the girls,” says Krauss. "It was a struggle al) day long. We lost the first match of every game but we were deter­ mined to come back.” As for the rest of the Tri River, Krauss is expecting Greenville and Sparta to challenge for the title along with Lakewood.

Which is exactly what Middleville coach John Greenman has done for his 19834M Trojan volleyballers. Greenman realizes his inexperienced squad has a couple of strikes against it already. "Of the 14 girls we have on the roster only nine have ever played varsity before," says Greenman. beginning his second year as volleyball coach. "By mid-season we should have put things together though.” Greenman says a .500 season is the primary goal of Thomapple Kellogg. It is a goal that he feels is very realistic "Definitely." says Greenman. "I feel we can do that. Our main goal is constant im­ provement and to get ready for the districts." Heading the roster is two girls who saw considerable action last year in senior setter Jenny Barlelt and seiuur hitter Dawn Van Polen. Other returnees are seniors Darcy Wingeier and Beth Rose, both in the backrow, and senior hitter Bonnie Belson. Greenman says seniors Laurie Hooper and Chris Wheeler, both hitters, will help the team. Greenman feels serving will be one of Middleville's strong suits this season. In a scrimmage against Zeeland the team graded out at 83 per cent. Greenman hopes that figure could zoom into the 90s soon. "We have some good hitters like Wheeler. Van Polen and Hooper," he notes. As for potential weak spots, the fact that Middleville hasn't played much together will hinder on-court communication. Passing, says Greenman. is also a concern. Defending champion Caledonia is once again the team to beat in the O-K Blue, says Greenman. Hamilton and Hudsonville will challenge and Byron Center is a darkhorse. �The Hastings Bonner Cold-shooting Saxons fall to Sturgis, 59-39 SPORTS ...ata glance by Steve Vedder Lakeview ready to Join Twin Valley The Twin Valley probably knows the can of worms it opened when it ac­ cepted Battle Creek Lakeview back into the fold starting this fall. Probably. There is little doubt Lakeview brings an excellent athletic program into the Twin Valley. The only question is if maybe the Spartan athlet e program is too strong for the Twin Valley, and that maybe the league will in time regret its decision. That question was put to Lakeview Athletic Director Ross Dingwall recently and Dingwall is quick to shoot down any theory of Spartan dominance. Dingwall says it is a "misconception" that luikeview will blow into the league and proceed to pound on existing Twin Valley teams. “By no means do we expect to dominate the Twin Valley.” says Dingwall, who became Lakeview’s athletic director in November. luikeview, which belonged to the Twin Valley in the 1940s through early 60s. has been one of the two class B schools in the Big Eight West where the Spartans have fared well enough the last few years. Lakeview's football teams have won or lied for the last three Big Eight titles, the girls basketball team has finished above .500 two of the last three years, the volleyball team won the state championship two years ago. etc. etc. Why, then, would the school want out of that seemingly comfy arrangement within the Big Eight, and secondly, is Lakeview compatible with other Twin Valley schools? Dingwall says there are two reasons why Lakeview wanted out of the Big Eight The first is that Lakeview's enrollment over the last 10 years has dropped from an ad-Ume high of 1,700 students to 1,063 students this year. Add that sinking enrollment to the fact that for the last three years (until this year) Lakeview has been without any junior high athletic programs, and the handwriting is on the wall: It won’t be long liefore Lakeview finds itself over its head competitively in a predominantely Class A league. The second reason why Lakeview wanted a change of leagues, says Dingwall, is travel. The closest Big Eight school to I^ikeview is still 30 miles away. A 70-mile trip is not un­ common for Lakeview athletic teams. With the Twin Valley travel won’t be a problem. All the Twin Valley schoils are located within 25-30 miles of Battle Creek. Dingwall says the move back into the Twin Valley is like a breath of fresh air both competitively and travel-wise.. "We’ve been able to compete in many areas in the Big Eight." says Dingwall. "But we wanted to get back to the more local teams of the Twin Valley. We think the Twin Valley is a class league. "Because so much of the league is close geographically we've always had a relationship with those teams." Dingwall doesn’t believe Lakeview can dominate the Twin Valley. He points out the Twin Valley already has dominating teams in some .sports. For instance. Albion in basketball or Sturgis in tennis. And it’s not like Lakeview will be playing against total strangers by scheduling Twin Valley teams. The Spartans often play Coldwater and Albion in boys basketball and Harper Creek in girls basketball. Lakeview also has baseball contracts with Marshall, Sturgis and Harper Creek, tennis contracts with Slurgis and Harper Creek, and run tradk against Sturgis, Harper Creek and possibly Coldwater. “We’ve never been divided as far as competition goes,” says Dingwall. “We feel it’s good for us and them." Taking everything into account. Lakeview will have a? least one significant advantage in the Twin Valley. Despite its declining enrollment. Lakeview, with it’s 1.063 students, will still stand as the largest school in the Twin Valley. Hastings is next in line with 1,024 students, followed by Coldwater with 994. Marshall 901. Sturgis884, Harper Creek 866, Hillsdale 707. and Albion 653. The Twin Valley probably knew what !t - was letting itself in for when l-akeview was allowed back into the conference. Probably. If he had his way. Denny O'Mara would like lo see no more of such "learning ex­ periences." An experienced and talented Sturgis basketball team tod' advantage of a cold­ shooting Hastings team on Tuesday night Io record a key 59-39 win over the Saxons. It was the first loss of the year for Hastings, now 4-1 overall and 1-1 in the Twin Valley Slurgis. the coaches pick to win the league this winter, has yet to lose in the Twin Valley. O’Mara was offering no excuses for the disapointing loss. He said his team was ready — perhaps even too emotionally high — for the Trojans. “We did not play well." he said. "It was a learning experience and hopefully we'ii learn something from it. That's what you have to take out of a gaqie like this. “It was something young kids have to go through." _______________________________________ • Bowling Results HASTINGS MFG. CO.

Pranger said his team did not shoot well enough in the game as they hit 23 of 58 <48 per cent > from the field The difference came at the free throw line where Delton hit 20 of 24 shots as compared to 23 of 30 for the Trojans.

Do the 83 million Americans who watch birds, photograph wildlife, and travel to national wildlife refuges support the objects of their affection as sportsmen do? Will "wildlife lovers” become “wildlife backers?" The Interior Department's U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service is asking these questions as it investigates 18 potential sources of revenue that could be tapped to support State fish and vx ildlife programs. This money would be used to support some of the nearly 3,700 wild vertebrate species, most of which are "nongame" species not sought by sportsmen. These animals do not carry special distinctions or protection, such as endangered and threatened species and marine mammals, and are not classed as feral species that have returned to the wild from their domestic state Nongame species range from chipmunks and porcupines, for example, to herons and songbirds. The effort to identify an equitable and effective source of public funds to foster the States' conservation of fish and wildlife, especially those species not ordinarily hunted, fished, or trapped, is required by the Fish and Wildlife Conservation Act of 1980. The result, when presented »o Congress, could lead to enactment of funding for this program, perhaps an excise tax similar to the "Pittman-Robertson" and "DingellJohnson" Federal aid programs. Under these programs, sportsmen have been financing the conservation of game and many r.ongame species for nearly five decades. Although Federal income taxes and cer­ tain State taxes help to support some fish and We hope our family and friends all liad a merry Christmas and that the new year fills you all with hap­ piness, joy and love.

Bruce, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. William R. Bruce I of 501 Welcome Rd., Hastings, has graduated from the U.S. Air Force operating room specialist course at Shep­ pard Air Force Base, Texas. Graduates of the course studied theory and skills of operating room procedures and pre- and post-operative care of patients. They also earned credits toward an associate degree in applied science through the Com­ munity College of the Air Force. Bruce will now serve at Kirtland Air Force Base, N.M. She is a 1980 graduate of Hastings High School. wildlife management programs, sportsmen have traditionally carried the bulk of this financial responsibility. State fish and game management is supported largely by the State's sale of fishing and hunting licenses, and supplemented by the Federal excise taxes on fishing and hunting gear. In 1983, for example, nearly $140 million was returned to the 50 States and Territories under the Federal aid programs, bolstering the $484 million that fishermen and hunters paid for State licenses and permits during the preceding year. There is “spin-off value for nongame species from the money that is spent for hunted species. Land acquired and developed with "Pittman-Robertson" funds provides habitat for shorebirds and cranes in addition to waterfowl, for instance; in a similar way, "Dingeil-Johnson" funds support habitat for turtles, crawfish, and molluscs, as well as sport fish. Nongame species do lack a specific, comprehensive source of funds, however. A national survey by the Fish and Wildlife Service in 1980 estimated that $6.6 billion is spent each year by non-hunters and non­ anglers on equipment, travel, and related expenditures for fish and wildlife recreation. Of that total, for example, nearly $1.2 billion is spent for binoculars and photographic equipment and $517 million is devoted to bird feeding year. The potential sources of revenue that are currently being examined by tne Fish and Wildlife Service for State, nongame programs, include: -Annual appropriations from general U.S. Treasury funds -Fees on minerals extracted from Federal lands and waters -Sale of "semi-postal" stamps whose cost would cover basic postage and a contribution to nongame programs -User fees on selected Federal lands and waters -A voluntary Federal income tax “checkoff" The sources also include special taxes on: -Wild bird seed -Wild bird houses -Wild bird feeders -Wild bird waterers, birdbaths, and heaters -Fur from wild animals -Backpacking and camping equipment -Off-road vehicles -Binoculars, monoculars and spotting scopes -Wildlife identification books -Recreational diving equipment -Photographic equipment and film -Travel trailers and campers -Motorhomes Nature’s critters often seek food around crib by John Lerg. Dept, of Natural Resources The first snows of winter bury much of the food that is available to wildlife much of the year. When this happens, the critters are forced to either rely on what is left exposed, dig for the buried food, or go looking for some heretofore untouched cache. The farmer's corn crib out by the barn is one such cache. Several times, I have heard farmers report they have a group of deer regularly visiting their crib. Farmers often relate the way each deer is forced to wait its turn before feeding. A deer will grab an ear of corn with its mouth and pull the ear out of the crib Then, pinning the ear to the ground, the deer will bite off a couple of mouthfuls of kernels before going back to the crib for another ear This works well for pheasants and other smaller birds who work on what the deer have left. Even rabbits and squirrels can oc­ casionally be seen waiting for, an overly greedy deer to leave an ear half eaten. While all of this may be fine for the crit­ ters, it takes a patient and generous farmer to let this go on very long. Sometimes, bushels of com can be eaten over the course ofa winter. This can add up to dollars for the farmer who may have felt that milk or beef steak was a more fitting end for his corn. However, for the farmer who can stand to share with the critters, this giant-sized wildlife feeder provides a unique way to enjoy wildlife Area Births----------IT’S A BOY Pamela and Larry Kornstadt, Jr., Hastings, Dec. 22.7:37 a.m., 6 lb. 13^ oz.

Pierce replaces Adelbert Heath of Hastings. Niethamer is a farmer and Pierce is co-owner of the Hastings’ manufac­ turing plants, Flexfsb, Inc. and Pro Line Co. Paul Kiel and Carolyn Coleman were re­ elected chairman and vice chairman of the Barry County Board of Commissioners during its organizational meeting Tuesday morning. Kiel, a Gun Lake Democrat, and Coleman, a Hastings Republican, will start their second years at those offices. In a State of the County address, following the election, Kiel praised the board’s work during 1983 and expressed hope that 1984 "would be as productive as the preceding year was". He also invited county employees and the public to bring their comments to the board. On the upcoming year, Kiel saw the decision on a computer system for the county and a settlement on a contract with the Fraternal Order of the Police, representing the county's sheriff dept, as priorities. "I hope that it (thecontract) will be settled soon,” said Kiel. “The personnel chairman (Coleman) has worked her head off to do so and I don’t feel the stalemate is the county's fault. We should get that settled.” The chairman, in addition, praised the efforts of various organizations who have helped the needy locally. "I’d like to thank the churches, unions and various agencies,” he said, "who have made one heck of an effort to feed, clothe, and find housing for the poor in this county. Some people may not feel there are hungry people, kids without adequate clothes, and families without housing here, but there are. I, for one, am thankful for those efforts (to alleviate those situations)." Kiel also reappointed the commissioners to their current committees. Theodore McKelvey again heads the judicial services with Rae Hoare and Kiel assisting. Hoare is chairman of human services with Coleman and Bernard Ham­ mond assisting. James Gordon heads county development with Richard Landon and Kiel assisting. Hammond chairs central services with McKelvey and Landon assisting. Gordon heads the finance committee, with Coleman and McKelvey assisting. Coleman heads personnel with Kiel and Hammond assisting. Landon heads county facilities and property with Gordon and Hoare assisting. City reaffirms tree cutting policy Citizens who wish to remove dead or dying trees from in front of their homes should contact the city to find out whose property the tree is on. That is the advice of City Attorney Richard Shaw. who. along with City Engineer Mike Klovanich, “reaf­ firmed” the city's policy on tree removal during Monday night'; council meeting. Klovanich said that when a dead tree is on a city right-of-way, the Dept, of Public Works first notifies the homeowner of the impending removal, and asks the homeowner to sign a slip of paper stating they understand what is happening. Next, said Klovanich, the homeowner is asked if he or she would like the wood from the felled tree "In this age of woodburniug. most want it," said Klovanich. Klovanich said right-of-ways vary between 66 feet and 110 feet from the center of the road. He said a homeowner should check with the city engineer's office before attempting to remove a tree himself. Klovanish said about 50 trees are stated for removal this spring. He added that the city hopes to plant about 50 trees as well — "Hopefully, we'll replace as many trees and we take down."

Dep Frank Misak of the Barry County Sheriff Dept said that Ritter was pullinguut of thte parking lot <rf the Assembly of God Church at about 10:30 a.m. when she was struck bv n west­ bound car driven by Karen Peterson, 41 E. Dowling Rd., Nashville. Misak said Peterson, and her passenger. Judy Peterson, 22, E. Woodlawn, Hastings, were treated and released at Pennock for minor facial injuries Misak said that rone of the three persons were wearing seat belts at the time of impact, adding "Seat belts would have reduced the injuries sub­ stantially to the Petersons...if they had been wearing them, they probably wouldn't have been injured at all.” Misak said the accident is under investigation. Page 1 Appointments made, too Two vacancies were filled on the County’s Parks and Recreation Commission on Tuesday. The Barry Board of Commissioners reappointed Thomas Niethamer, of 6938 Carlton Center Rd., Woodland, and appointed Willard Pierce, of 820 W. Clinton St., Hastings, to full terms. Local woman hurt in traffic mishap Emil Tyden’s vision became Hastings’ Council grants raises A Hastings woman received a bruised lip Sunday morning when her car was struck in the side by another car at the corner of Cook Rd. aid Green St. Hastings City Police say Helen 1-eszczynski, Heath R<1, was eastbound on her way to church about 10:3 a.m. when she was struck uy a car driven by Mildred Smith, Cook Rd. Officer Austin Loftus said Leszczynski may have been spared a more serious injury because she was not wearing a seat belt at the time of the mishap, and by the thick coat she was wearing. Loftus4explained that the driver's door on her vehicle caved in upon impact, and a jagged piece of metal struck her in the side. Loftus said the metal probably would have cut the woman had it not been for the coat, and the fact that she was unrestrained and able to move out of the way. However, the officer said “It’s still safer to wear a seat belt.” . In 1983. over 90 percent of those killed on state highways who had seat belts available in their cars were not wearing them, accordirg to Michigan State Police statistics. 2 vacancies filled on parks board County board re-elects officers Continued to page 2 Local reaction mixed to longer school year by Norma Peterson Acker Hastings School Superintendent Carl A. Schoessel agrees with the State Board of Education that longer school days and more school cays may be in order, but reaction to the prcposals from others in the school system were mixed. Local people questioned how the extra time would be funded, whether the state board was concentrating more on quantity than quality and how other things could be scheduled around the longer school year. The state board has proposed a four week increase in the length of the school year and a limit cn Lie number of snow days a district may take. Final act.on by the board is expected to be taken lx fore the proposal is sent to Governor James .1. Blanchard and the legislature in the form of a recommendation. The proposal would increase the school year one week over each of the next four years and require that all snow days over five be made up. Currently most Michigan teacher contracts cal! for a 180 day school year. Schoessel notes that there are more disruptions in the school day and that schools Continued to page 4 Five appointed city officials received pay raises ranging from 7 to 17 percent, at Monday night's meeting of the Hastings City Council. The largest raise went to Hastings Fire Chief Roger Caris, whose pay increased 17.7 percent, from $18,900 in 1982 to $22,250. Hastings Mayor William R. Cook noted that Caris has not had a pay raise in over two years. Hastings Chief of Police Mark Steinfort received an 11.2 percent salary boost, his first since becoming police chief in December, 1981. Three other officials who have foregone raises through the last year received in­ creases of approximately 7 percent. Mike Klovanich, director of public services and city engineer, will now make $38,200 annually, a 7.17 percent increase from his 1982 salary of $35,645. Michael Payne, city assessor and building inspector, received a 7.04 percent increase, raising his pay from $19,245 to $20,600 per rear. Council also raised the retainer fee paid to City Attorney Richard Shaw from $6,000 to The Hastings 56,420, a straight 7 percent increase. Council reappointed Caris as fire mar­ shall, Steinfort as director of civil defense, and Dr. Edward Larkin as the city’s health officer. All of those positions are unpaid. Council started off the new year by con­ firming the appointments of a number of other individuals to various city boards, posts and commissions. They are: — David Jasperse to the position of mayor pro-tem. Jasperse assumed that position in September, when William Cook, the last mayor pro-tem, became mayor, following the August resignation of ex-mayor Kenneth J. Howe. Council also reappointed Jasperse to represent the council in the Hastings Planning Commission, which Jasperse chairs. — Fourth-ward Aiderman Esther Walton, to a two-year term on the Joint Airport Commission. Monday's meeting was Walton's first on the council. She won that seat in November's election. A second person is being sought to fill one year of Cook's unexpired, two-year term on the com­ mission. The airport commission is com­ prised of city and county appointees charged with overseeing the operation of the Hastings Airport. — Roy Carlson. 825 W. Madison, to the Hastings Planning Commission, a reap­ pointment to a second three-year term. Council also appointed Curt Stevenson, 429 Congress, as a new member to the com­ mission Of Stevenson, Mayor Cook said "He has shown some interest in the city...and he would be a good asset to the planning com­ mission." City Engineer Klovanich was reappointed to a one-year term as the city’s represen­ tative on the planning commission. — Esther Walton to act as a liaison bet­ ween the council and the Hastings Library Board for a term of one year The position is a non-voting one. — Jack Echtinaw, 1104 N.

Looking far down the street, io where the high school stood out at the end of Broadway, he thought how attractive an approach it was from the town's square to the school. But as he drove over the old river bridge, he looked down to where Tyden Park is now, and couldn't help but noice the contrast between the appearances of North and South Broadway. On the west side of the street, just up the hill from the bridge, were three good houses. But then, below the bridge was a saw mill, and between the mill and the houses were targe billboards. A couple of old shacks and a tangled mass of unsightly trees, brush and weeds lay behind. The weeds had totally taken over the ruins of a former porcelain factory, that had been partially razed. As Leonard contemplated the sad sight, it suddenly came to him what a vely spot it would be for a park. The mayor spoke with the city cotmcil as a committce-of-the whole, and the possibility of making the run-down lot into a park was discussed. Upon inquiry, it was discovered that most of the unused land behind the frontage lots belonged to Emil Tyden. One of the council members set up a meeting between Tyden and Leonard. "I nad never met the man, although everyone knew about Col. Tyden." recounted Leonard years later. Mr. Tyden — often called Col. Tyden for the rank he held in the U.S. Army in World War I — obviously held the key to realizing the idea of a park along the river. In addition, he was a formidable personality, and Leonard approached the meeting with some trepidation. Whut Leonard did not know, was that the idea of a park on the site of the old porcelain factory and adjoining area was in Tyden’s mind too. He came to Hastings in 1899 Emil Tyden was an inventor, a manufacturer, and a shrewd judge of men and business. He came to Hastings in 1899 when businessmen raised funds to set up the International Seal and Lock Co. to build his invention, the self-locking car seal. Today, most people connect the Tyden name with The Viking Corp., and the park. But few people know that Emi! Tyden was instrumental in founding the Hastings Manufacturing Co., and is partially responsible for the E.W. Bliss Co plant being located here today. Emil Tyden was bom in the Province of Smaland, Sweden, in 1865, the oldest of seven children of a Swedish farmer. At the age of 17. he emigrated to the United States, as the story goes, "with $20 in his pocket". He first went to Moline. III., a city with a large Swedish community, and found work in an organ factory. He subsequently worked for McCormick-Dcering and it was on this job that he was granted the first of his 200-orso patents. Tyden worked for the Union Pacific Col. Emil Tyden (left), come to Hostings 85 years ago to set up the International Seal & Lock Co. Monday night, the Hastings City Council accepted a gift of $45,000 from his daughter, Florence Tyden Groot. for the purchase of 24 acres of land across the Thornapple River from Tyden Park. In presenting the gift. Mrs. Groos said she hoped the pork would serve as a “living memorial" to the memory of her father, and her husband, Richard A. Groos (right). The accompanying story was culled from biographies of Col. Tyden and Richard A. Groos, which were supplied by Mrs. Groos, and from a 1965 newspaper interview with Charles Leonard, mayor of Hastings from 1930 to 1938, and from 1942 to 1950. Railroad as an emigrant agent. He was in­ strumental in settling a number of Swedish emigrants in the area of Idaho Falls, Idaho. Tyden’s innovative marketing sense it is said was instrumental in the success of the community and earned for him the eloquent, and technically correct title "Father of the Idaho Potato." During his work with the Union Pacific. Tyden developed the Tyden Seal, which was the world's first totally secure self-locking car seal. His moving to Hastings was the result of a chance encounter with R.B. Messer while riding on a train. Messer was intrigued with Tyden’s invention and pledged financial support if Tyden would move to Hastings. The result was the founding of the International Seal and Lock Co. in Oct., 1897. Tyden not only developed a unique seal, but also a unique method of production which required targe amounts of specially designed and constructed sophisticated machine^’. There were not sufficient mechanics in Hastings to construct such machinery, so Tyden purchased the Consolidated Press Co. of Chicago, and moved it and the majorty of its personnel to Hastings in order to build the machinery The Consolidated Press Co. continued to manufacture its well-regarded line of punch presses after the move. In 1914, Tyden decided that he would no longer continue to make the Consolidated Press line and the company was sold to H.B Sherman nf Battle Creek with the un­ derstanding that the business would remain in Hastings. The City of Hastings funded the construction of a large, modern plant and shortly after the conclusion of World War I the business was sold to E.W. Bliss. During World War I, Tyden entered the U.S. Army Ordnance Corps, and served in Washington. D.C., and then in Rock Island, III., as lieutenant colonel in charge of production at the Rock Island Arsenal. Tyden excelled in straightening out production problemsand was retained by the Hastings Wool Boot Co. and the Hastings Table Co. His work placed both companies on a sound financial basis. He invented the Tyden Lock which was a great improvement over the former system of holding the tops of round tables together so the they would not gap. Tyden licensed this inrention to the Hastings Table Co. and a number of other manufacturers. Tyden entered the sprinkler business in 1920 and founded The Viking Corp., whose objective it was to build a marketing system for fire sprinkler products. Shortly thereafter Tyden was instrumental in founding the Hastings Manufacturing Co., whose early operations were conducted in the basement of the sprinkler plant. In the early 1930s, Tyden sold his interest in the Hastings Manufacturing Co. During the Great Depression, Tyden virtually single-handedly prevented the closing of the Hastings City Bank bv guaranteeing its accounu. Upon hearing that a group planned to buy out and close the National Bank. Tyden, declaring that "Hastings should have two banks", bought controlling interest in the National Bank with the objective of keeping it independent. Leonard and Tyden meet It was with much of this background in mind that Leonard met with Tyden that day, 45 years ago. The mayor spoke of the un­ sightly area, and how it would make a nice park, a much-needed park for the city. Possibly, he said, the city might be able to to swing such a park, financially, with the spreading of a little extra miUage, providing the property could be purchased. Such a park, he told Tyden, would beautify the North Broadway approach to the city, and would be for the good of Hastings. "I love Hastings, and want the best for it," said the mayor. Tyden listened attentively, and when the mayor was finished, he spoke: "Young man, I like your way of thinking. I’ll talk to my daughter, Florence, and we shall let you know our decision." Whet happened next earned the everlasting gratitude of Mr. Leonard. Tyden bought up the front lots, except for one house, which was moved to a lot on Mill St., which Continued to page 5 �The Hostings Bonner— T! ^rsdoy, Jonuory 12. 1984. Page 2 Civic Minded: Mrs. Groos continues work People with the civic-minded outlook of Florence Tj den Groos are hard to come by. Her contribution of $45,000 to the city to purchase 24 acres of land as an addition to Tyden Park represents a continuation of her lifelong work to improve our community. When she was presented the Liberty Bell Award by the Barry County Bar Association in 1981, attorney Pau! Siegel said that as the daughter of a prominent businessman :Emil Tyden), the wife of another (Richard A. Groos) and the mother of a third (Richard T. Groos). her contributions might be easily overlooked. Not Mrs Groos. She has been instrumental in civic projects throughout her life and the impact of her work is felt by all of the people who live here. In the late 1930s, as Hastings and the rest of the nation were pullingout of the Depression, Mrs. Groos organized what would become the Hastings Area Com­ munity Fund. Today, operating on a budget of more than $110,000, the Community Ft nd finances programs for 12 different local agencies including the YMCA-Youth Council (which she began in 1936), scouting and Camp Fire groups and the Red Cross. The Groos family and Viking Corporation continue to be major supporters. In addition, Mrs. Groos made the first contribution to the Thornapple Foun­ dation. Other major gifts from local individuals and their estates followed shortly afterward. Among the beneficiaries of the foundation since it was formed in 1962 have been the Barry County Association for Retarded Children, the YMCA, the Hastings Public Library, Charlton Park, the4-H, E.B.I. Breakthru. Inc., the Barry County Mental Health Clinic, the Community Activities Center, the Community Building and Love, Inc. Quietly, sl>e is also said to have encouraged several young people in the com­ munity to obtain college educations and she helped them financially. Mrs. Groos carries a much deserved deep respect for her father and her husband and it is in their memories that she is donating the money to expand Tyden Park. She expressed her satisfaction to city officials for their care and development of the park. We assume that care will continue as the new land is put to use. a community, we owe a debt to Mrs. Groos which we can only repay through continuing respect for her contributions. We can express our heartfelt thanks to her and pledge to live up to the confidence she has demonstrated in us. Negotiations with sheriff employees in arbitration Negotiations between the county Board of Commissioners and employees of the Sheriff’s Department have moved to binding arbitration, spokespersons for both sides reported. Cpl. Gerald Luedecking. steward for the Fraternal Order of Police, said that an ar­ bitrator will be appointed within 90 days to resolve the contract dispute that has been in negotiations since 1982. The contract expired on Jan. 1, 1983. Carolyn Coleman, chairman of the per­ sonnel committee of the county board, said that the two sides had met and agreed to exchange information, but she has not been notified by the county’s labor attorney James Stokes of further action since then. Coleman said that P.A. 312 requires compulsory arbitration with the employees of the department if negotiations reach an impasse. Ludecking said that the negotiators have not reached an agreement on the number of sick days or whether a wage increase will be retroactive to Jan. 1, as the union wants, or to July I, as the county wants. The employees are seeking a six percent wage hike. Ludecking said that an earlier sticking point, the rate at which days off are granted in consideration for overtime, had been decided in the union’s favor because of a state law. The law. he said, requires that time taken off should be at a rate of 1 times the extra hours spent on the job — the same as the rate of overtime pay if they were to be paid for the extra hours. Luedecking said that the county wants to cut the employees* sick pay in half. Em­ ployees are currently allowed one sick day per month and employees who don’t use those days may bank them, up to 120 days Commissioner, continued Representatives on the various county boards are: Landon on the airport board; Gordon, Hoare and Hammond on the BarryEaton Health Board; Hammond on the classification board; Hammond and Kiel on the commission on aging board, Hoare, Kiel and McKelvey on the dept, of public works board; Gordon and Coleman on the economic development commission; Coleman and McKelvey on the mental health board; Hoare and McKelvey on the Mid-Counties Consortium; Coleman on the parks and recreation commission; Kiel and Coleman on the South Michigan Community Action Agency; Landon on the solid waste board; Hammond and Coleman on the substance abuse board; Hoare, McKelvey and Kiel on the transportation board; and Gordon on the South Central Planning Council. worth. Prior to the last negotiating session, Luedecking had said that employees are asking to be paid back for half nf the sick days accumulated upon retirement. He said that will prevent abuses of the sick day privileges. Luedecking also said that some minor safety issues still remain to be solved ‘We’d like rain coats,” he said. "We don’t have any. If we get out in the rain, we’d like some type of equipment to keep us dry." Employees also had been asking for compensation for personal items lost or damaged while on the job. The last negotiating session was held on Oct. 25 in the Grand Rapids office of the Michigan Employment Relations Com­ mission.

Zoning appeals board denies variance request by Ken Reibel The Barry County Zoning Board of Appeals Tuesday night turned down a Lake Odessa beekeeper's request for a zoning variance so that he may process and bottle honey in a pole building on land zoned agricultural. Meanwhile, the district representative of the Michigan Beekeepers Assoc, vowed that his organization would back the beekeeper financially, should a court case ensue over the matter. Gary Veale, Fifth Ave., Lake Odessa, purchased a IMi-acre of agriculturally-zoned land last year with the intention of erecting a pole building to store beekeeping equipment, and process honey. However, the Barry County Office of Planning. Zoning and Building denied Veale a building permit for that use, claiming that his operation was commercial, and not suited to agricultural land. "We can’t let this happen." said Craig Hanner, who is himself a beekeeper, following the board's 5-0 vote. "The Michigan Beekeepers Assoc, and eight other beekeeping associations in the state will back (Veale) up financially. But he has to follow through with this. We can't let this take place." Veale said he is unsure what his next ac­ tion will be. Veale originally turned to the appeal's board to change the administrative decision of Building, Planning and Zoning Director Winifred Keller. The board tabled a decision on Keller's ruling in a Oct. 15 meeting, referring the case to the planning commission for a definition of farming. Planners met Nov. 28. and decided by a 5-1 vote that Veale's operation is commercial, and not suitable for agriculturally-zoned land. However, whether Veale's proposed building is commercial or agricultural is a moot point in light of the position held by Ronald Coates, appeals board chairman. He insists that the land use off Martin Rd. has changed since the zoning maps were drawn up, and that the property is no longer suited for agricultural use. “When it comes right down to it, what we have to decide on is that particular land use...It's unfortunate that that particular piece of ground is zoned agricultural on a piece of paper, and is being used for something other than that,” said Coates. Veale asked if he would have to go back to the planning commission if he chose to keep beehives on his land. "Would I have to go back with a specific request stating that? Because it is zoned for agricultural use, as of now." “That's the difference in your opinion and mine," countered Coates. “It is zoned that on a piece of paper...I don’t know. If anybody could drive by that location, and tell me that’s farming land...! guess that’s the dif­ ference. The land use has been changed, not by this board, not by the county, but by the land use."

PUBLIC OPINION ^ow muc^ credit for Jackson? Wendell Strickland • QUESTION • Democratic Presidential Candidate Jesse Jackson won accolades from the American people, the press, and even Ronald Reagan for winning the release of downed U.S. Navy pilot Lt. Robert Goodman, who was held prisoner by the Syrians. However, Jackson’s detractors say the release of the filer was politically motivated, and a chance for Syria's President Assad to embarrass Reagan. Others say the flier would have been * released anyway, through normal diplomatic channels. Do you think Syria’s release of the flier was motivated by humanitarian or political reasons? Should Jesse Jackson get all of the credit for the filer’s release? Does, this episode make Jackson a more viable Presidential can­ didate in your eyes? Mike Maddox. Gun Lake: "I think Jackson just did it for a gimmick. Syria was going to let him go anyway. It would help (Jackson) get a few more votes." Maddox said that Jackson's move does not make him a more viable candidate in his view. "I’m glad (the flier) got out. and it will help Jackson.” A 27 year-old Kalamazoo man pleaded not guilty in Barry County Circuit Court Friday to two counts of third-degree criminal sexual conduct. A pre-trial hearing for Abdul Mohmand. 2426 Shasta, Kalamazoo, is scheduled for Jan. 20 at 9 a.m. The crime is punishable by up to 15 years in prison. Mohmand allegedly picked up a Kalamazoo woman Nov. 14 at a bus stop in the city, and drove her to a lake in southern Barry County, where he allegedly raped her. Terry Hendricks, Hastings: "He has to have something for it. At least he put some effort into it, which is more than most people were doing...He gave it a darn good effort." In other proceedings: Jo Fenner Bob Edwards K’zoo man enters not guilty plea Toby Wagner. 17. 7555 Moe Rd., was sentenced to six months in jail, and five years probation, for two burglaries which occurred last fall. According to court records. Wagner is accused of a break-in al a Robertson Rd. home Sept. 16. and a Moe Rd residence Oct 12. Circuit Court Judge Richard Shuster further assessed Wagner $400 in fines and costs, and $150 resitution. The judge also ordered Wagner to reside in an approved residence, obey a midnight to 6 a m. curfew, not to own or possess any weapon, and to seek and maintain gainful employment ...by Ken Reibel and Elaine Gilbert James Olin. Hastings: "As far as what I think of Reagan, a movie star shouldn't be President. Now I've heard that Jesse Jackson is a minister. That’s fine, but I think our President should have a college degree, or be a lawyer, or a least a mayor so that be knows what’s going on when he gets in of­ fice...He should have some political ex­ perience...Jesse Jackson should get credit for getting the flier out. but neither (Jackson or Reagan) should be President." Owen Jones. Hastings: "I believe that the whole episode was politically motivated, in order for Jackson to gain recognition in the Democratic Party I’m a Republican, and I’m glad Jackson went because it will split the Democrats right down the middle. My conviction is that this event would not have transpired if weren't for the fact that Jackson is running for President...The Syrian government would not have accepted Jackson as readily if he weren't a Presidential candidate. Syria would rather see Jackson in the White House than Reagan...The flier was lucky that his misfortune happened in a Presidential year." Brenda Lieb Wendell Strickland. Hastings: "Being a skeptic, I wonder what he (Jackson) gave away. Maybe nothing. But I still wonder ’’ Strickland also said he presumes that our ambassador to Syria probably had a role in helping to secure Goodman’s release. "I can't see just a common ordinary person pulling something like that off. But, being a skeptic again. I can see some deals being made. ‘It (Jackson's role in Goodmaj's release) u ill assure Jesse a spot as a vice presidential nominee. He hasn't a chance in the world of becoming the Democrats’ presidential nominee, but he's got a 110-percent chance of being their vice presidential nominee...That’s the way I see it. "Jesse’s brand of Democrat politics are a little farther left than most people imagine. But, that will all come out in the wash someday." Bob Edwards, Hastings: "No, I don’t believe that Jesse Jackson was the sole responsible person for his (Goodman’s) release. I believe there was a lot of political effort put in his release...We're all fortunate that be (Jackson) could do it. Edwards also commented that he thought Jackson was fortunate enough to capitalize on liming — "being at the right place at the right time." As far as the episode making Jackson a more viable presidential candidate now. Edwards said, "The event in itself, no. I don’t think you can rest that one event and translate it into making a human being more viable. You have to have other credentials when you seek the presidency of the United States. One has to check his credentials and his background and endeavors throughout... That's what 1 would and will be judging on for the Democratic candidate for president. 1 won’t be judging just that one particular event on my choice of candidate." Jo Fenner, Delton: "I didn’t look at it as an attempt by the Syrians to embarass Reagan...I think the Syrians looked at it and said, ’hey, let’s give this guy (Jackson) a real push (to the White House)." In response to whether the incident makes Jackson a more viable candidate, she said. "He isn’t in my book. It didn't change my opinion I think it was nice he was able to over there and get Goodman released " Brenda Lieb. Nashville: "I think Goodman would have been released anyway, but Jackson helped get him out faster. "I don’t think any candidate should be selected because of one good deed, but what he did was nice.” �The Hastings Banner—Thursday. January 12. 1984, Page 3 Delton group to help with school needs Plans to organize a "Superintendent’s Forum" with representatives from a cross section of the Delton-Kellogg School District were outlined Monday at Delton’s board of education meeting. Supt. Dr John Sanders presented a plan to organize an advise«y committee to the superintendent for the purpose of conducting a needs assessment during the months of February and March. "This needs assessment will be based upon the revised goals and objectives that the b>ard just adopted." said Sanders. •We're going to ask representative members of our community to meet with school officials and personnel to take a look a what we're doing, what we want to be doing, and what it’s going to lake in order to g!t where we want to be." He said he hopes a report on the needs assessment can be completed in time for presentation at the first board meeting in March. Between 20-30 persons will be asked to participate m the forum which is expected to meet weekly during the first month. Sanders said &n effort will be made to include in­ terested persons who are representatives from large groups within the district and persons in various areas of the district. Sanders said he hopes to have forum members who are representative of senior citizens, the chamber of commerce, home and lake associations and other groups, farmers, clergy, township supervisors, Intermediate district to hold sessions Training sessions on the subject of Junior Great Boohs are being offered by the Barry Intermediate School District, headquartered in Bastings.

Spending breakdowns sought on road work The Barry County Road Commission lias been requested by the county board of commissioners to give a townshlp-bytownship breakdc wn of its annual spendings. A motion — asking for a listing of dollars spent per mile in each township, of dollars contributed by the township as opposed to the road commission in each township, and of dollars spent on construction work as op­ posed to maintenance work in each township — was passed by the board at its meeting last week. The action was taken after a request by Prairieville Township Supervisor Roy Reck for this type of information. "For years there’s been inquiries with how Road CommLsion money is spent in the township," Reck told the commissioners. “Until we have information, such as how many dollars are spent per mile, it's not possible to ask logical questions about these matters." Reck said that the road commission’s annual report, detailing its expenditures, has lump sum figures for its various budget categories, but dots not give any breakdown on a township-by-township basis. Ron Lear, Road Commission engineer, who was at the meeting on another matter, said that such information was available and could be gathered. The commissioners also put into effect 1984 salary increases for members of the County Courthouse Employees Association, three non-union employees, and the county’s elected officials and appointed department heads The salary schedule for the courthouse employees calls for a 1.8 percent increase. Hastings schools to open test center The Hastings Area Schools' Counseling Dept received confirmation last week to reestablish an ACT Test Center for the "Convenience of students in the greater Hastings area. The ACT test - which is a college requirement for admission by many colleges and universities - w:,l be given in Hastings on March 31 and Oct. 27. Any junior, wanting the option of attending college after graduation and wishing to be considered for a State of Michigan Com­ petitive Scholarship, should take the test in the Spring of their 11th grade year, the summer between their junior and senior year, or in the fall of their senior year. If a student is not concerned about the state scholarship competition, they may take the exam on any date the test is given. The new code number for the Hastings test center is 7852. plus a one percent increase that will finance a dental plan. The increase, under the terms of the contract negotiated last year, was determined by the cost-of-living minus one percent. The non-union courthouse employees received the same increases. Elected officials and department heads were given a choice of taking a 1.8 percent hike and participating in the dental plan or taking the 2.8 percent raise. Also under the terms of the contract, a motion was passed to increase life insurance benefits to $8000. In addition, Robert Nida, Probate Court Administrator, received a salary increase of $2321 which is retroactive to Sept. 1, 1983. The board of commissioners will be holding its organizational meeting this Tuesday During it officers will be elected or re-elected for the upcoming year. Ap­ pointments for the various board committees are also expected to be made.

Street Im Reviewing the past year is trad­ itional and since we are merchants who serve our customers in trad­ itional, old fashioned ways (i.e. friendly, courteous) we decided to review the year on South Jefferson Street. Highlights included: 1. An increasing awareness of South Jefferson Street on the part of the community. This brought many new visitors to shop the services we offer on South Jefferson. 2. The addition of three new mer­ chants to our ranks, Antique Cellar, County Seat and A-1 Tools. We have no vacancys on South Jefferson and have had to send the overflow to State St. 3. Two moonlight sales, Sidewalk Days, and other promotions attract­ ed thousands to South Jefferson Street. Summerfest was better than ever. Downtown Hastings has est­ ablished itself as the place for shopping, dining out, and entertain­ ment. 4. Our first fall color tour was a smashing success. A number of people strolled up and down South Jefferson, enjoying the colorful trees. In fact, strolling down South Jefferson has become a “must do" while visiting Downtown Hastings. 5. A very successful Christmas season highlighted by our first Christmas Open House, an event we plan on making a tradition. Thanks to you, it was a rewarding year and we.anticipate an even better 1984.

In other business, the board expelled a high school student for the remainder of the school year for gross violation of the student code of conduct The board took the action after holding a private hearing in closed session (Because the student is a minor, the school can not identify the student by name) The board also held a closed session to discuss negotiations for a new contract with cafeteria personnel. "Negotiations are proceeding as an­ ticipated. We should be able to resolve their contract in the very near future.” said Sanders. The board heard a report that the school district s buses passed a state inspection with flying colors and received a 100-percent rating from the Michigan State Police. A report also was given on the replacement of a commercial dryer which had been damaged by fire in the high school. A new and better quality dryer, for use in the cafeteria, was purchased for $2,100. An in­ surance reimbursement covered $1,685 of the cost. I Win a $10.00 Gift Certificate NAME To win, register at I our store SUNDAY. I Need not be present ADDRESS 3 to WIN!

Reaction mixed on longer year, continued are required to provide more services than ever before. This takes away from in­ structional time, he said. Today's schools provide food, tran­ sportation, driver's education, sex education and check students for problems with ears, eyes and curvature of the spine, he said. "These things are important, but they lake more time,” Schoessel said. “In terms of the 1980s,” he continued, "education is an important requirement individually and in terms of the well being of our country. A greater premium is being pul on education today than there ever has been”. Schoessel said that educators need to ask whether the school days of the 1980s should be the same as those of the past. He said that historically the length of the school year was based on agricultural needs and that now we are dealing with the tradition of family vacations as well. In countries such as Japan, which has a 240 day school year, the majority of adults work five and a half days per week, which makes the length of the school year a societal question, Schoessel continued. "Looking at the way learning occurs, we see that time for reflection and exploration of concepts presented is necessary. Learning cannot always be pressured," he said. He said there is no doubt that students have a learning loss over the long break in the summer. He added, however, that non­ school experiences such as travel, camp, music lessons, and the pursuit of hobbies are also important to the oeverali development of young people. Presently, students have 180 school days and 185 vacation days. Schoessel feels that there must be a balance between the two. He foresees an increase between 190 and 200 days in the school year with a winter break and a shorter summer break. "Most other states have already con­ sidered the length of the school year and Michigan's considerations are typical of other states." Schoessel said. He sees the problem involved in the proposal as two-fold — the question of local control and the question of financing. "Talk is cheap, but to do the things that are being talked about will mean increased financing." Schoessel continued. "There is a need to revise the way in which schools are financed.” Ke explained that the last time anybody looked at the structure of the school year was during the energy crisis in regard to heating costs. Discussing snow days, Schoessel said that schools are perhaps closed too easily. "We need to look at what tradition is and what is really needed,” he said. Peter DeDecker, president of the Hastings Education Association, said that his organization had not yet discussed the state proposal. "I can't really be against more education," he said. “However, I think tnere are things that can be done to provide more education within the existing time frame." DeDecker voiced concern over the need for increased funding that would be required for salaries, utilities and transportation among other things. Cential Elementary School Principal David Arnold voiced agreement with the longer school year. “I would be in favor of some extension of the school year, but I'm not sure how much more," he said. Arnold feels tht theapprooch of adding five days per year over the next five years is a good one. saying that "spending more time at the task of teaching can have only good results." High school Principal Robert VanderVeen said that he has mixed emotions, however. "Philosophically, they (the state board) are equating quantity with quality, which is not necessarily true." he said. VanderVeen feels that there is a need io look at curriculum and study it before requirements are changed. He pointed out that the graduation requirements in Hastings already exceed those mandated by the state. "I'm not opposed to doing things l.o im­ prove quality," he said. VanderVeen agreed with Schoessel con­ cerning "snow days" and said there should be an attempt to maxe up an excessive amount of days missed. Giving a parent's viewpoint Cindy Wilcox, president of the Parent-Teacher Organization (PT0 > at Central school, thinks that the 20 day extension of the school year may be legitimate in the future and should be considered . She added, however, that it could have a major effect on different factions in the community, citing changes in schedities for local YMCA programs and teacher education during the summer. From a student's outlook. Char Gibbs, senior class president, said that more con­ centration si )uld be given to the quality ot classes. “It (the proposal) has good points, but we need to concentrate more on the quality of classes required rather than the length of the school day or year," she said. Gibbs feels that academically oriented students would probably benefit the most. ”1 don't think it’s a time factor,” she continued. “Weshouldn’t cut the time but we don't necessary need to increase it.’’ She said that she is planning to attend college this fall and wishes tha* she had learned the importance of academics at an earlier age.

Later it was given to the city, then sold to finance park im­ provements. On June 30,1938, the land, measuring over 104 acres, was given to the city to be used as a park for the “citizens of Hastings and the public in general.” No commercial en­ terprise could be built upon it. With the land actually in the city’s possession, the work of making it a park could begin. The first appropriation was $1,500. More money followed as it became available. The country was still gripped by depression in 1938, and Hastings was not spared. Despite the hard times, though, not one cent of federal or state money went into the park’s early development. It is a Hastings park, planned and executed by the people of Hastings for the good of the city. The land was cleared of all debris. The saw mill was removed by condemnation order and set up elsewhere. Down came the billboards and the shacks. Grading built up the rear part of the park, and sloped the land gently toward the river bank. It was a slow process, and it wasn't until 1942 that the park was opened to the public. First, there were a few picnic tables, then came the cooking grills and playground equipment. Tyden watched over the park's develop­ ment with pleasure, up to his death in 1951. A man of simple tastes Mrs. Florence Tyden Groos, Col. Tyden’s daughter, once described her father as “A man of simple tastes.” who would have been pleased at the way the park has served the people ol Hastings. Monday night, the Hastings City Council read a letter from Mrs. Groos, stating, in part: “W'ith the permission of the council I would like to donate the cost of the land to the city for the purpose of expanding the park, a living memorial to my father, Col. Emil Tyden. and my husband. Richard A. Groos. Richard A. Groos was bom in San Antoniao, Texas, in November, 1892. He graduated from Cornell University with a degree in mechanical engineering in 1914. He went to work at the Newport News Ship­ building and Drydock Co. in Newport News, Vir. World War I began almost immediately thereafter, creating a great demand for shipbuilding. In 1925, he married Florence Tyden, and the couple moved to Los Angeles, where Groos worked for the Western Automatic Sprinkler Co., a subsidiary of the Viking Corp. In 1929, the couple moved to Chicago, and then to Hastings in 1931 where look over the financial operations of The Viking Corp., and the International Seal & Lock Co. In 1936, Gmos became involved in the operation of the National Bank of Hastngs and subsequently was named its president. He became president of International Seal & Lock Co. in 1951 and chairman in 1961. International Seal & Lock Co. subsequently changed its name to The Tyden Corp, and then to The Viking Corp., following a merger of Tyden and Viking in the mid-1960s. Groos was active in the Hastings Youth Council, the Boy Scouts, and for many years, was chairman of the board of Pennock Hospital. “Since my father first gave the land to the city in 1938,1 have watched its developme: with interest, and I commend the city for d excellent management of this facility," wrote Mrs. Groos. "I hope that the new expansion will continue to bring enjoyment to this community." '’CountuSeat tounge y EVENING SPECIALS 4 to 10 P.M.

Page 6 what’s cookin Aud’s Antics... by Elaine Gilbert Antique handbags This Week Featuring... Rosemary Raber Rosemary Raber has a flair with a paint brush, but she really didn't know that until three years ago when site started taking lessons with a group from the Hastings Women's Club. Today, beautiful oil paintings by Rosemary grace the living room and dining room of the large while framed Irving Township farmhouse where she and husband. Les, have lived since uiey were married in 1935. Barns and other landscapes are Rosemary's favorite subjects to paint on canvas. She also likes to do seascapes. Rosemary still continues her painting lessons and every week a group of women gather at her home where an instructor comes to give them pointers. A portion of the Raber's basement has been converted into a “studio” for the sessions. A lifelong resident of Barry County, Rosemary was bom in Hastings and says her family moved "out to the country" when she was four. She attended the former Chidester School (which is now the Rutland Township Hall) through the eighth grade. "I graduated from Hastings High School in 1935 and married in '35,” she says. “I graduated in the middle of the (school) year and married in May." As a farmwife, Rosemary used to spend many hours working in the fields — running the tractor mowing, raking and hauling hay; running the combine and doing all sorts of other chores. She worked in real estate for awhile after her children were grown. The Rabers’ daughter Judy DeGroote lives on Coats Grove Rd and another daughter, Shirley Perry, lives in Buchanan, Tenn. The couple's other children, Roger and Alice, are deceased. There are 12 grandchildren. Rosemary is a member of the Hastings Women’s Club and serves as its telephone chairman. She also is secretary for the Freeport Pythian Sisters and has "been through all the chairs" except for treasurer. Over the years Rosemary has been active in many other organizations. She worked as a hospital volunteer and taught sewing and gardening as an Irving 4-H Club leader. She also is a former Thomapple-Kellogg Band Booster and adds "all my daughters were cheerleaders" which meant the Rabers went to many sport events. Last summer, Rosemary and Les were selected to serve as the parade grand marshals of Hastings' Summer Fest. The couple have been active in helping with Summer Fest since it was organized. Les is well known in the area as the Irving Townsh:p Supervisor and as a fiddler. He and Rosemary attend many fiddling jam­ borees locally and around the state through his membership in the Michigan Fiddlers Association and the Original Michigan Fiddlers Association. Rosemary says she has a keen interest and love of fiddle music and tapes the sessions where her husband plays. She also likes to knit and crochet and has made many a cap and afghan. Collecting old patterned glass is another hobby she enjoys. When she spends time in the kitchen, Rosemary enjoys a beautiful scenic view of the 200-acre farm and wildlife which are a frequent sight. Preparing a cherry pudding is one of her favorite desserts to make for her children and company. It’s a delicious three-in-one dessert that includes fruit, cake and sauce. The recipe is from a 1945 General Foods cookbook called “Favorite Recipes From Country Kitchens" that had belonged to her step-mother. Rosemary Raber gets ready to dish up some homemade cherry pudding, made from a recipe that has been a favorite for many years. The recipe comes from an old cookbook called "Recipes from Country Kitchens". She said the dessert is "easy to fix and you can put it all together in one bowl". “It's easy ’o fix. I just put it all together in one bowl. I just stir the dough in the pan that I'm going to bake it in. It's just as good cold as it is warm (from the oven),” said Rosemary. 7 She prefers' to use frozen cherries, but canned ones are tasty too. * Rosemary’s Pudding Basic Ingredients: cups sifted flour, 14-teaspoons baking powder, ‘.^-teaspoon salt, Mj-cup sugar, 4-cup milk, 2Tablespoons melted shortening, and l^-cups drained, pitted red sour cherries (fresh, canned, or frozen).

The show was broadcast simultaneously from New York and Paris. Dibble appeared in three brief self-produced videotaped segments of the program in which he played characters being watched by Big Brother. The program was viewed by an estimated audience of 400 million and was created by Nam June Paik, who conceived the event as a celebration of the arrival of 1984. The intent of the Drogram was to underline TV’s positive possibilities rather than Orwell's negative conception of TV as foreboding Big Brother. Dibble studied at the Kansas City Art Institute, specializing in video art, and has given live solo per­ formances at Morgan Gallery in Kansas City. His work was selected to be part of the touring exhibition Video-TV-Humor-Comedy, which showcased the video art across the nation. He has worked with Mitchell Kriegman. for­ merly of "Saturday Night Live", who also appeared in the New Years broadcast. He is now employed in distribution at Penny Lane Records in Kansas City.

State St. Hastings Ph. 945-2963 Fortunately for collectors, the prices for some early handbags — while in­ creasing — have not yet reached their full market value. In 1978, most of the more common bags sold at between $5 and $45. These same bags today start at $45-to-$50 and go upward. Collectors classify antique handbags under a number of categories: by construction employed (beading, embroidery, needlework), the material used (fabric or metal). and the style of design. The beaded purses seem to be the most common and easily identified for the beginning collector Before the 1850s, the beads used were smaller with more intense coloring, and they were made of glass. Cut steel beads were popular around the 1840s and were made as late as the 1930s. The embroidered or needlework bags are more easily found. A collector of these bags should have a knowledge of fabric to help date the bag. It takes experience to tell the difference bet­ ween early, middle and late 19th Century silks. Leather or metal framed purses were stylish in about the 1880s. Some of the bags were fitted with compartments that had special functions, such as opera bags for opera glasses. The leather bags are harder to find, but not necessarily the most expensive. They were usually carried for everyday use until they were worn out. and then were discarded for new. The woven mesh purses of the early 1820s, chain link mesh used in the 1890s, and the enamel mesh purses of the 192te are very popular with most purse collectors. The chain-link mesh purse can still be found in flea markets, auctions, and antique shows. The more colorful enamel mesh purses are more usually found in private collections. Mesh is not a fabric but an intricate weave of tiny interlocking metal links. The material is formed from rings of solid brass or other metals which lock together forming soft drapes of fabric. This fabric ripples through the fingers like liquid gold. The fabric is slit by hand to the proper lengths. The material is bathed, burnished, buffed, polished and plated on the surface. It is then finished in metallic tones of gold, silver, bronze and other shades. This mesh is also baked to an enamel finish and silkscreened to create special patterns. The style, as well as the material of the bag are clues to dating it. A typical bag of the 1920s is small, flat and rec­ tangular in shape. The mesh is often enamel with Egyptian motifs or geometric designs. The long tubular bags are known as “stockings" or “miser" purses and were carried by men and women during the latter 18th Century until 1880. The name “stocking purse" apparently originated from the medieval practice of carrying coins in the toe of the stocking. If you are thinking of starting your own purse collection, or have already done so, you should be aware of a few important details. Always check the bag to make certain there are no holes; that it is not faded; and that the beading, mesh, or embruidci j t. intauL Avoid leather that is brittle and silk that is splitting. It is more desirable to acquire a bag that has all of its original parts If there has been alterations, make sure that they have been skillfully done and that the purses are not passed off as entirely original Knitted and crocheted beadwork is very difficult to restoie. Reconditioning cream can be used on leather bags. Gently suds any light­ colored washable bags in milk-soaps and distilled water. The brightly-colored enamel mesh purses and the beautiful, rridesent carnival glass-beaded bags irfm to be the most popular and avidly sought of all antique handbags. In 1978. at an auction of early Americana in Massachusetts, a collection of ten small antique hand­ bags. needlework purses and pocket­ books dating from the 18th and early 19th centuries sold for $1,200. The price paid indicates the rarity of Early American handbags. Because of the many varied types and designs of antique handbags, most collectors have had to research their own information and estimate ap­ propriate prices. There is a helpful paperback out. written by Richard Holiner. that gives the history of handbags. Their development is traced from its origin in the earliest Middle Ages to the manufactured handbags of the early 20th Century. Styles, designs, and materials used are described in each era of the handbag's progression in order to aid the collector in identifying the origin and the value of a handbag. The text pages are comprised of beautiful color photographs of groupings with individual descriptions of each bag pictured. Fifty-four pages are devoted to beaded bags, 63 pages to mesh bags, and 8 pages of miscellaneous-related items. Each item is identified by the maker, size, price and style, whenever possible. This book proves to be very helpful to the collector, as well as the dealer in antique pirses. It is called "Antique Purses" by Richard Holiner and is published by Collector Books. If anyone is interested in purchasing this book or any book on antique and collectibles, our local book store is always happy to order for you. However, it is necessary to know the full, correct title and the publisher, if possible. It is the wise collector who gleans every possible bit of knowledge about his specific area of collecting. The history, current value, rate of ap­ preciation growth, wnolesale and retail selling prices, etc. can be learred and used to his advantage. Antiques have been, presently are, and will continue to be one of the most lucrative fields of investment — both for the high financed, advanced collector and the roving gypsy-type flea marketer. Even collectibles from the 1940s through the 1960s are enjoying popularity of unprecedented propor­ tions. As far as I can see, antiques and collectibles have nowhere to go but "up"!

HARDENING of the ARTERIES and CHELATION “I believe health care professionals have an obligation to offer patients all viable options to choose between in making the important decisions only they can make con­ cerning their own health. Chelation is one such ‘viable option’. If you have, or think you may be developing, hardening of the arteries, you should know the facts about chelation therapy.” Grant R. Bom, D.O. WHAT IS CHELATION? Chelation (pronounced "key-lay-thun ") is a treatment .‘or heavy metal poisoning which has been found to often aid in treating cases of impaired blood supply or hardening of the arteries. WHO NEEDS CHELATION THERAPY? Nearly all men and women over the age of 40 suffer to some degree from the effects of hardening oi the arteries. Actually, a 30% narrowing of the arteries is considered by some to be “normal" al age 45. Most people do not ever realize the effects of this disease process that is commonly associated with "old age" until they begin to experience chest pein (angina) with exertion? cramps :•» their legs when they walk, or a heart attack. People often associate things like loss ol sharp vision and hearing and loss of memory with "old age". The question is often oikod. "Why do some people seem to get older and more senile faster or earlier then the rest of us?" The answer, in many cases, seems to lie In the relative omouni of narrowing of Ihe arteries that is present in various people. Chelation can be the help so many need to overcome the debilitating effects of the myriad of symptoms associated with hardening of Ihe arteries. HOW DOES CHELATION HELP TO OPEN NARROWED ARTERIES? Plogues (foreign substances wh.ch cling to the Inner surfaces of blood vessels) ond dots contribute to the narrowing ol arteries. Chelation therapy consists of a series of slowly-odministered intravenous Injections of an amino acid colled EDTA. When EDTA is injected into the blood stream, it appears to break down or "lock onto" the cellular components of plogues The components then become bound to the EDTA molecules and ore removed from the body via the urine. After a series of chelation treatments, the inside diameter ol narrowed arteries usually increases, allowing a greater volume of blood to reach Impoverished cells ond organs. HOW CAN I FIND OUT MORE ABOUT CHELATION? Pleate call or write the clinic for a copy of our newsletter outlining the details of the therapy, the results that can be expected, the cost of the treatments, etc. — PLEASE NOTE — Dr. Grant Born will be conducting o free educational discussion concerning chelotion therapy at the clinic on the following dates: Thursday, Jan. 19,1984. .7:30 to 9 p.m. • Tuesday, Jan. 31,1984 .7:30 to 9 p.m. The presentation will include video topes, hond-out materials, and a question ond answer period with Dr. Born.

Martin Taylor, director of the Michigan Employment Security Commission (MESC), reported today. There were half a million unemployed workers across the state last month, Taylor said, an increase of 13,000 over November. Yet, the current jobless estimates are substantially below those of a year ago, Dec. 1982, when the state's unem­ ployment rate hit a record 17.2 percent with 741,000 out of work. Taylor explained that Michigan’s labor force grew by 37,000 in December, climbing to 4.202,000. Most of the increase was due to holiday jobseekers. Many of these jobseekers were successful in finding work as total employment rose by 24,000 during the month to 3,702,000. He also noted that the current jobless rate is the lowest for any December since 1979 when it was 8.5 percent. In addition, Taylor said, preliminary estimates show that Michigan’s annual average jobless rale for 1983 was 14.2 percent, down from the 1982 average of 15.5 percent. According to the seasonally adjusted December estimates, Michigan's jobless rate fell slightly to 11.6 percent from 11.9 percent in November. The number of unemployed workers slipped by 6,000 to 488.000 last month. Nationally, the seasonally adjusted civilian labor force unemployment rate dropped to 8.2 percent in December from 8.4 percent in November. The number of jobless workers fell by 169.000 during the month to 9,195,000.

R.W. Mohrhardt of Grand Rapids officiating. Fourteen people were present. On Nov. 19 of that same year the congregation began holding services in the Adventist Chruch on E. Bond and East SLs. The church’s informal beginnings though go back to 1932 when the pastor al the Zion Lutheran Church in Woodland surveyed the scattered Lutherans living in Hastings and organized a mission congregation among them, known then as St. John's Lutheran Church. The first worship service of that group was held in a private home on Nov. 6 of that year. In the Spring of 1940 Rev. O.H. Trinklein accepted an assignment to do survey work in the Hastings, South Grand Rapids. Battle Creek, and Eaton Rapids areas. This effort, with the cooperation of others, led to the development of the Grace Church in Grand Rapids, the First Lutheran Church in Charlotte and the Grace Church in Hastings. Rev. Trinklein also became the first resident pastor of the Hastings congregation on May 5,1940. Later that month the Sunday school was organized. In 1942 lhe Lutheran Church moved back to the Legion Hall when remodelling work began on the Adventist building. Its stay there, however, was shortlived because of recreational activities being held for war­ time military personnel, so services were moved to the Odd Fellows Hall, beginning Nov. 1. Grace Lutheran was officially organized on Oct. 1.1944 and incorporated on Oct. 17. A building site at Walnut and S. Jefferson Sts. was purchased that same year. Afterwar lime restrictions were overcome^ ground was'broken for a church edifice in April. 1948, with lhe cornerstone laid on May 23. The $18,000 brick structure, measuring 30by-57 feet, was dedicated on Nov. 21 of that same year.

Chairman (M2) Saints Reorganziedi seated between 100 and 150 persons in the auditorium, had a spacious chancel and a full basement for Sunday School classes and church meetings. The church had 180 members at that time. In 1961 Rev. Trinklein gave his farewell sermon, ending 50 years as a pastor, 21 of them at Grace Lutheran. Rev. David Stuckmeyer then served'until 1965. followed by Rev. Roger Janke who was pastor until 1969. On June 22 of that latter year Rev. Michael Anton took over the church reins, a pastorate he still serves. On Dec. 26. 1971 church members held a special ceremony, burning the mortgage on their building. That freedom from debt was shortlived though. Because of growing membership and limited space, a planning committee was organized in April 1972 to analyze the needs, costs and feasibility of a new building. The following year chirch members voted to proceed with construction of a new church. Land was purchased across from Provincial House on North Avenue and groundbreaking ceremonies were held in September. Work then began on the modified L-shaped structure, its cost to be $185,000. The new church featured a 40-by-80 foot worship area, including a nave that seated 216, a chancel, two sacristes, part of the foyer and a cry room-classroom. There was also a balctny to house the choirs and an electronic computer organ. The 50-by-80 foot wmg, meanwhile, housed nine classrooms, the other part of lhe foyer, plus a kitchen, office, «tudy, restrooms and the fellowship hall. Construction on the building was finished in May. The remainder of the summer was tlien spent doing work on the parking area and access streets and landscaping the property. On Aug. 11, 1974 Grace Lutheran held its final worship service at the old church. The following Sunday numerous church officials, along with 280 parishioners, at­ tended the Day of Dedication, officially opening the doors to Grace’s new home.

The Saxons, behind a punishing and rapidly improving frontline, starved off several Lakewood rallies on that night and walked away with a 75-66 win. A still less than 100 per cent Mark Brown st'll pounded down his points — that’s hardly uncommon. But it was the play of the Hastings frontline — Mike Matthews. Steve Maurer and Todd Bucher — that sealed the win for Hastings. Brown fired in 38 points on 13 field goals and 12 of H free throws. But it was 17 Jig points by Matthews, nine points and 13 clu ch rebounds from Maurer, and seven points i nd six rebounds from Bucher that were he keys. And Hastings coach Denny O'Mara is well aware of that fact. "We're getting a lot out of our three inside people." he said. "We need that." Lakewood coach Mike Maciasz agreed the keys to the game were the Hastings players other than Brown. "That’s the sign of a good team,” Maciasz noted of the balanced scoring. "I thought we played a good game. We’ve played well the last two games.” O'Mara, whose team moves to 6-1 with the win . said he wasn t surprised by the tenacity put forth by Lakewood, which slips to 2-6 with the loss Lakewood is going to win some games this year, said O'Mara. "They've played some good teams. Their record doesn't depict how good they are.” he concludes. The Vikings made several some runs at Hastings late in the game and were never totally out of the contest, played before some 1.200 vocal basketball fans Hastings led 5442 at the end of three quarters but Lakewood slashed that margin to as few as s ix points. 70-64. with 52 seconds left. But the Saxons' Mike Shaw hit a free throw and Matthews added a basket after a steal and the fans were heading for the exits. Hastings, which never led by more than 11 points in the fourth period, showed excellent poise down the stretch in fending off the pesky Vikings "We're getting a little better at that.” said O'Mara. "We're playing with more con­ fidence and that's what you have to do. "The players have to realize things will work out even if they're not working out right at that time." Maciasz said his team couldn't quite get over the hu-ip in the fourth quarter and catch Hastings. "When you have a player like Brown who can come down and hit the 20-footer, it's tuugh to make a run,” said Maciasz. “He’d make a long shot and then they'd get [sports X________________________________________ back up by six or eight " Hastings led 1H-9 at the end of one period and 37-32 at the half Both teams were relatively warm from the field with Hastings hitting 28 of 57 field goals and Lakewood at 24 of 33. O'Mara said the 39-23 rebounding ad- van'age his team enjoyed was another key "If we outrebound anybody we're happy." he said. Dave Barker, playing his best of the year for Lakewood, led the team with 21 points. Ken Corp added 16 and Mike Smith chipped in 12. J Athletic Profile Lakewood's Tad Lubitz (50) confronts Mike Matthews of Hastings. Hastings won the game to up its record to 6-1. Hostings' Steve Moorer (42) tries to block o shot by Lakewood guard Mike Smith (22). The Saxons, helped largely by Maurer's 13 rebounds and nine points, held off the Vikes 75-66 on Tuesday night. (Bonnor photos) Gee wins district ‘hoop shoot’ Brad Gee. son of Mr. and Mrs. Bruce Gee. won the district "Hoop Shoot" competition for his 8-9 year old age bra'ket. The contest is sponsored by the Elks and was held in Albion Saturday. Jan. 7. Six local winners from Hastings par­ ticipated in the event held at Kresge Gym on the Albion College campus. Each contestant shoots 25 free throws. The contestant shoots five warmup shots and then 10 that count. After everyone in that age bracket shoots, they then return and shoot 15 more. The 8-9 year olds get to shoot from four feet in front of the free-throw line. The local winners _ompeted against eight other lodges. Brad’s win was highlighted by the making of 13 baskets in a row during the second round. He won by making 18. The runner-up had 17. He will now travel to Ann Arbor on March 2-3 to participate in the state com­ petition held at Crisler Arena on the U of M Campus. His parents and family will be lodged by the Elks and they also get to see the U of M vs. Minnesota basketball game.

Hastings wrestler Hutch Clason (top) tries to pin a foe in the L.H. Lamb Invitational. Hard work finally pays off for this local wrestler by Steve Vedder We're all taught that it's the hard workers who usually get ahead in life. But after three years Hutch Clason was starting to wonder Clason. the popular, red-haired Saxon wrestler, worked dilligently his first three years on the Hastings wrestling team but still couldn't put together a winning season. Finally, in this his senior year. Clason has blossomed into the type of wrestler who can pose a serious threat to anyone he wrestles. Clason. wrestling in the 132-pound weight class, has won 15 of 20 matches and counts nine pins amongst the wins. Of his five losses, three have been by a single point with the worst only being a 6-0 decision to a twotime stale qualifier. He has placed second, third and fourth in three tournaments. Clason. a four-year starter, is finally satisfied with what he's accomplishing on the mats. "Oh yeah." said Clason as he prepared for a Saxon practice session "I feel I've given 100 per cent each match. "1 feel I've accomplished something since I've been in the sport There's been ups and downs and times I've felt like quilting "I've developed a lot since I was a fresh­ man Things like balance and wrestling skills Each year I've improved." C’.a- on believes he is the type of wrestler who Is forced to work extra hard lor anything he earns He said he doesn't have the natural talent that some wrestlers are blessed with, and as a result, he makes up the difference by pushing himself. "I've had to work harder just to get where I'm at." said Clason That workload has been duely noticed by Clason's team males as well as by Hastings coach Dave Furrow. Clason has been elected by the team as the Saxons' captain the last three years - a responsibility he doesn't shun. "I realize you have to set examples, just like the seniors did for me when I was a ireshman." said Clason. "I've worked hard and I think that's made the others work hard. I think that's why I have been one of the captains." Furrow said it isn't possible to meet a nicer, more hard-working person than Clason. "He's been one of the hardest workers on the team the last two or three seasons," claims Furrow "He's as nice a kid as you'd want to meet He's 18 going on 25. "He gives his all. he always has " As far .xs goals. Clason said he'd like to win the 132-pound weight class in the Twin Valley­ meet and maybe even qualify for the state meet for the first time He realizes what he's up against, though "If 1 make it past the regional* I'll be happy." said Clason. "The competition is so stiff there's a lot of things to work on." That, however, is something he’s quite used to Hastings volleyball team loses two The Hastings varsity volleyball lost to Delton on January 3. 6-15. 15-10, 12-15.

Sturgis of 6:00 January January January January January 12 13 13 14 17 I've thought about meandering up to Traverse City and becoming a bar­ tender. but I usually regain my senses before the car is packed. Being a bartender would lie too much like work. Besides. I probably wouldn't be too swift at grappling with drunks anyway. It seems the end of the year is the natural lime to reflect on one's choosen vocation. Eacn year about this time I try to figure out whether or not I'm in the right business. Or at tl.e least try to figure out what keeps me in the newspaper business. And every year I seem to come up with the same answer: where else but at a football game can you get paid for eating hot dogs and drinking cokes? Since I was 16 years old. being a sportswriter was all i cared about being. Trundling off to exotic locations, meeting new people, and delving into their lives in 24 inches or less seemed sort of fasinating. I'm aot saying my job Isn't fasinating at times, but I have to admit that being a sportswriter sometimes isn't what 1 was led to believe it was. Il includes a triffle more than munching hot dogs and guzzling cokes. What I guess I mean is I don't recall even one professor in college explaining to me how to calm down the irate mother whose son's name 1 grotesquely mispelled the week before. Or how to handle the steaming coach who claims his team was unfairlycriticized in one of your stories Notone of my profs told me about the long hours I'd spend huddleJ over a video display terminal lyeah, just like on Lou Grant > wondering if the gamma rays or whatever were going to effect my kids. And not one professor ever explained to me that I'd never escape the job just because I wasn't in the office. That it wouldn't be uncommon for some woman to stop me at 3 a m. in a restaurant and ask why something didn't make the paper, and was I really as stupid as I looked? I'm not complaining, these things have to lx? dealt with every day. I just wish I'd learned that earlier Being a sportswriter has enabled me to try out for the Los Angeles Dodgers and grapple in the mud with gm geous female mud wrestlers. Who could complain about that? I suppose the hardest part of my job isn't dealing with crazed cislomers at 3 a m. or calming down a fuming mother or coach. The hardest part is being objective. Believe me, it isn't an easy task to root for a team, to want them to play well, and then later have to satisfactorily explain why they don't without lam­ basting somebody. A sportswriter can't be a cheerleader — that's not being objective — but at the same time everything he writes can't dwell on the negative. I've been accused of doing both at different times. What then, is the solution? You jur* write what you think is right and hope people see your point. When you stop and think that peopie pay money to read your thoughts and erpressions and that those opinions can make people mad. sad, laugh, or even make them stop and think, it's a responsibility that shouldn't be taken lightly. I even know a writer whose story once saved a woman from suicide. I was raised believing that if you can't say something nice about someone, then don't say anything. And that's largely true Much to the chagrin of my parents. I forgot that part of my upbringing when I became a sportswriter. Sportswriters really aren't such a bad lot. A little cynical perhaps, but they are quite able to kiss babies and they don't cheat at poker. One thing that continually amazes me about my job is how some people will act when there is a reporter lurking in the room. People, usually when they are in the midst of doing something wrong if not illegal, will invariably stop and ask. 'Are you going to do a story on this?' Of course not. I'd always ask for money before I blow the whistle on them Maybe I'll continue on as a sport­ swriter. After all. I do love hot dogs and coke. On the other hand, though. I've always wanted to be a bartender and I do like Traverse City... �The Hastings Banner— Thursday. January 12. 1984 Page 10 Delton slaps Gull Lake, loses to K’zoo Christian -Outdoor Notes Winter brings hard times by John Lerg Dept, of Natural Resources As winter progresses, more and more wild critters will be showing signs of stress caused by lack of food, deep snow, and wind chill. Biologists will be watching for these signs to monitor the condition of the critters throughout the winter. You too can watch for these signs if you know what to look for When deer bunch up and start spending much of their time in pine stands, you know their condition is deteriorating. The pines offer some shelter from the cold and wind chill effects, but they offer no food. When the hair of the cheeks of the deer starts standing out making the deer look like their mouths It was that old case of some good news and some bad news. Delton's basketball team lost a heart breaking 48-45 decision to powerful Kalamazoo Christian last Friday night, but rebounded to slap down Gull Lake 68-54 on Tuesday. In the Gull Lake win. Jay Henry fired in 22 points, Steve Tuin 16 and Brett McBeth 12 for Delton The Panthers jumped to a 38-29 halftime lead and increased that margin to55-41 at the end of three periods. "We were able to do everything wc wanted to do inside," said Panther coach Paul Blacken "Fifty-nine of our 68 points were scored by our five inside people and that's the way I like it." Both teams hit 48 per cent from the field with Delton canning 27 of 57 shots and Gull are full, they you know the} are suffering from lack of food. When the snows are deep in mid-winter, squirrels begin coming to the road to forage in the scraped area along the roadside. This is a sign their food caches are running low. When pheasants stand in groups in open fields or when they start perching in trees, they are also feeling the effects of the cold and food deprivation. Unfortunately, not much can be done except pray for warmer weather when critters start snowing these signs of stress. However, knowing what is going on in your wildlife surroundings gives you a greater appreciation for the struggle for survival. County well known for storms Barry County is well known for its winter storms. Often lasting two days or more, thev are a time when wild critters seek shelter. The wind that usually accompanies these storms can rob animals of body heat. If critters do not take precautions to avoid these winds, the heat loss they suffer can be substantial. So, animals have developed habits that protect them from the elements. The air mass that passes through an acre before a storm front is usually warmer than that after the front. Crittes have discovered this weather pattern too. They can sense oncoming storms probably by sensing strong barometric changes. They feed heavily immediately before a storm. Then, they seek out shelter from the wind to wait out the storm. Deer often use pine plantations. Rabbits locate heavy grass areas. Grouse burrow into the snow. After thestorm passes, the cold that sets in keeps the critters quiet. However, the need for food forces them out. and they begin feeding again for short periods both early morning and late evening. As the weather warms, the critters return to their normal activity patterns Steve Tuin; Double figures two games this past week Brett McBeth: 20 points in two games for Delton scored From camping to cheerleading, the Hastings YMCA involves thousands of people. Combined with the Hastings Youth Council under the direction of Dave Storm, the "Y" operates 154 programs for 6,319 participants Snowmobile conditions good General Outdoor Conditions: There is phnty of snow out for snowmobilcrs and skiers and good ice for the fishermen. Generally winter is running about normal this year with temperatures in the teens and 20s. Hunting: Turkey permit applications are available now at this office and at least one license agent in each area. The applications must be purchased again this year — price is $7.25 for residents. $1 for senior residents. The non-resident applications are available only through Lansing (P.O. Box 30028. Lansing, MI 48909 Information and Education Division) and are $20.25. The applications must be post marked by February 1. 1984 In this district, there is only one area <L) this year. There will be five separate hunts, each seven days long. One hundred permits are available for each hunt. The procedure for applying is the same as last year but if you have problems filling out the application or have questions on the season, give us a call - 685-6851. Rabbits: There seems to be a fair number of bunnies out there Pressure is very low as is normal around here but hunters out are reporting good success. Wildlife Division is very interested in hearing of wild turkey sightings. Give this office a call or drop us a post card with the information. This gives the biologists an idea of where the birds are and an estimated population. in Lake downing 21 of 44 shots Blacken was particularly happy with his team's defense. "For the first time all year we played zone defease." he said "Wc kind of made that our goal. We made them shoot from outside " In the three-point loss to injury riddled Kalamazoo Christian. Delton actually led 3634 after three periods But the defending state Class C champioas ran off 12 straight points to grab a 46-36 lead and never looked back. "They (Christain) had a couple players cut with injuries and it was a golden opportunity to get them." lamented Blacken "But they still had enough depth to hold us off." Henry led the team with 12 points. Tuin added 10 and McBeth eight Delton is now 5-2 overall and 2-1 in the KVA Odds and Ends: In general wildlife is holding up good so far this winter; nothing unusual or extreme to cause stress. Some rough legged hawks are down in this area now. Seventeen thousand geese are at the Fennville Farm Unit (Todd Farm) right now. Fishing: Nothing specific to report. The usual bluegills being taken on most all fishable lakes and pike are spotty for spearers and tip-up fishermen.

Michigan Bell will continue to service and repair the lines that lead to your home or business. Now let’s talk about how you can tell if it’s your phone that needs repairing or your phone lines. Here’s how: LINE PROBLEMS... On all line problems, call the 1 Michigan Bell Telenhnne Rennir Sen-ire! Residence..............................................................................221-2121 * Business................................................................................. 221-3131 * AT&T INSTRUMENT PROBLEMS... heck all phones for physical damage or frayed cords. If you find damage, it s probably an instrument problem. PLEASE REMEMBER... Calling the wrong company for repair sen-ice could he costly. For example, if you’ call Michigan Bell for repair sendee and the trouble turns out to be in a telephone instrument. you cotdd be charged for a sendee call and still not have your problem corrected. That's whv we’ve suggested the line and instrument checks before calling anyone. Michigan Bell can't promise you that you’ll never have a repair problem, but we can assure you that we re bringing the same skill and experience to your telephone sendee repair needs. We want, just as much as you. to keep your sendee working as it always hits. 0 After all. 0 If you have plug-in or modular service, make sure all of your phones are properly plugged in. 0 If you have more than one telephone, check them all for a dial lone. If you don’t hear a dial tone on any of the phones, you may have a line problem. If vou do hear a dial tone on at least one phone, the problem is prohablv one of vour other instruments. 0 you determine that the trouble is isolated to one instrument at one location, and you have modular service, try that instrument at another outlet or possibly at a neighbor's (if both you and your neighbor have similar one-party sendee). If the instrument works at another location, the problem may be with a specific outlet. If the instrument does not work at another phone outlet, the problem is prohablv with the instrument. □ IT’S AT&T WE'VE SEPARATED FROM... NOT YOU.

The purpose of the festival is to promote the production, sale and use of natural fibers, said Joan Foster, director of the Hastings Area Chamber of Commerc, and JEDC member. The festival would be held August 24,25 and 26. Foster said several festival activities have been proposed: show and sale of angora goats and sheep; show and sale of fiber art; show and sale of mohair and wool fleeces, and roving for hand spinners. Also planned are workshops on angora goats and wool sheep, and display's and sales of fiber equipment, such as spinning wheels, carders and knitting machines. Foster said the grant would provide "seed money to continue the effort to accomplish four objectives: to promote Michigan fiber products and art. to provide incentive for raising high quality animals, to promote and assist animal husbandry and to promote the use of fiber doth and art.

Millage renewal vote set for March 12th by Norma Peterson Acker Monday morning’s sub-zero temperatures created beautiful scenery across the Hastings area os trees in higher elevations frosted from top io bottom. Meteorologists soy that January s temperatures are close to normal, though. Cold air... This winter is normal one Meteorologists call it "The Siberian Ex­ press ”, a huge mass of frigid, stagnant, almost liquid air that leaves its home in northern Russia, and passes over the Arctic, where temperatures can reach 60 below zero. Then that slow-moving, hone-chilling, ex­ press passes through Canada, and into America’s heartland. Unusual weather, you say? Barnie Richardson, a National Weather Service specialist in Grand Rapids, says last winter was unusual, and that this winter's tem­ peratures are mure normal. As you may remember, with fondness, we had seven days in December. 1982 when the temperature reached 60 or gi eater, and an all-time Decmeber high of 66 was reached in Hastings on Dec. 2. "All you have is your jet stream." explains Richardson. “Il runs down from the north pole, and lies to the south of us, and that's let all that cold air drop down. "If you recall all that nice warm weather from last winter, we had the jet stream actually drop down to the Gulf area then bending back right back up over us, and bringing us that warm air, and keeping the cold air to the north of us," said Richardson. Richardson said this year's jet stream pattern is more normal. "The jet stream is like a river of air, about 10,000 feel up. It just wanders, but generally in the winter time it drops south, and that lets the cold air down from Canada." said Richardson. In this way, the jet stream keeps pumping down air from up north, and beyond — hence, the Siberian Express Richardson says the outlook for next week is for "near-normar’ temperatures, with highs in the upper 20s, and lows in the mid to low teens. The 30-day outlook, from mid­ January to mid-February calls for belownormal temperatures. Hastings Sandy Schondelmayer has announced that he will be a GOP candidate for the post of Barry County Register of Deeds. Schoessel added that somewhere on the ballot it will be made clear that this is a renewal and not an increase. Diane Hoekstra, a member of the board’s finance committee, said “I wish Io re­ emphasize our support of this proposal. We feel it is sound and realistic.” Schoessel indicated that members of the steering committee, active on last fall’s special millage election, will be involved. He said that even though this is a renewal, he expects that there will be an active cam­ paign. The board also awarded an S80.832 con­ tract to Capital City International Trucks, Inc., and Ride Equipment Inc., for the purchase of three diesel powered school buses. Schoessel said that experts had advised the board that it would be more economical to purchase three new buses rather than try to recondition the old ones. The money to purchase the buses was provided for by the recently passed millage. The proposal allows the board to purchase three new buses for each of the next four years. Robert Miller, director of operational services, explained that the state reim­ bursement formula stipulates that up to 75 percent of the cost for buses may be reim­ bursed over a seven year period. Miller added that theentire75 percent is usually not awarded In other business, the board: — Appointed Joseph LaJoye, a Hastings graduate, currently with the Central Mont­ calm School System, to the position of head board director. Joan Bossard-Schroeder, currently with the Marcellus system, will act as his assistant. LaJoye and Schroeder are expected to assume their duties on Jan 23, the beginning of the second semester. — Appointed William Rodgers to the high school industrial arts position vacated by James Sutherland.

"Through the legislative process, we got the project approved by the legislature a year or two years ago." said Ray Rought, director of the state Airport Development Commission. “In order to have the money availaole so we can make expenditures, the aeronautics commission had to take action to transfer the money from the aeronautics fund to a separate account.” "Essentially what this does is tell Hastings that t he $19.100 of the state funds that we told Hastings is available is available," said Rought. He said the local airport planners still need to submit paperwork, including an engineering assessment of the proposed project, to the federal government to qualify for most of the $191,000. “It means that the $19,100 in state funds are th -e. that we can now process the final design so we can gel a grant based on actual design and bid costs." said Rought. The total cost of the airport expansion, which will include an additional 900 feet of Schondelmayer announces candidacy for county office Sandy Schondelmayer. a Middleville resident and Hastings businessman, has announced that he will be a Republican candidate for the office of Barry County Register of Deeds in the August primary election Schondelmayer, 33. made the an­ nouncement at the recent county Republican Hastings area voters will be asked to renew 18.51 operational mills on March 12. The date for the election set during Monday's meeting of the Board of Education. The .8.51 mill figure which has been in effect since 1970 ran out with the 1983 December tax collection Supt. Carl A. Schoessel told the board that there ire three points concerning the up­ coming millage election that should be made clear: — It will not increase tax liability for any citizen. — Tie election will take place March 12, 1984, rather than June 11,1984, the date of the norma) school board election, because the June date will not aliuw enough time for summer tax information to get to city and county officials. If the schools are unable to depend on summer tax collection, operating money will be borrowed costing ap­ proximately $32,000 in interest. — Th® word "increase’’ will appear on the ballot due to a legal technicality. convention after Register of Deeds Howard Ferris said he was not seeking re-election.

He has worked in real estate for about the past six years as a salesman and broker, affiliated with his family’s firm. Schondelmayer InsuranceReal Estate on W. State St. in Hastings. Schondelmayer also served as Rutland Township Clerk from 1974-79. He was first appointed to the position when Norval Thaler resigned to become county clerk. Asked why he decided to seek the county register of deeds post. Schondelmayer said, "I thought it would be a challenge to take on a different position." Because of his background in real estate, "the paperwork always interested me when I would make trips over here < to the register of deeds office)." Im* said. Schondelmayer said he likes taking on the "discipline and challenge of something new and the county-wide level appeals to me." He already has had a chance to gain first­ hand experience at the inner-workings of the office. For the past three-weeks. Schon­ delmayer has been working with Ferris while the deputy register of deeds is on a leave of absence. Schondelmayer said the work is a good opportunity to learn what the position is all about and says, “it’s agreed with me more than I had anticipated that it would." He and his wife.

The state's total share will be five percent of the project cost, not including any land purchased. The federal government may­ pay 90 percent of the cost of land, including reimbursements for land already owned by local government. The city and county cost is equal to the state’s, pltu the cost of land not reimbursed. The added 900 feel on the already 3,000-foot runway will place the Hastings Airport in the general utilities category, which will ac­ comodate 90 percent of general aviation aircrafts "Essentially what this does is tell Hastings that the *19,100 of the state funds that we told Hastings is available is available."— Ray Rought, Michigan Airport Develop­ ment Commission director. The expansion is phase one of a 20-year plan that will build a new terminal, increase the runway to 5,000 feet, and fence the entire airport grounds. The funds for the work come from a user fee of 20 cents per gallon of aviation fuel, and aircraft license fees. Rought said the aeronautics commission expects $16.6 million in federal funds for airport expansion and improvement in Michigan in 1984, and a total program cost of $20 million. Rought said federal airport funds in 1963 equaled $24.8 million among 33 separate grants. In 1982, Michigan received $9.2 million, and in 1981 it was $12.6 million. "It sounds like a lotof money, but it doesn't really go very far," said Rought. No contract yet for T-K teachers By Elaine Gilbert Although a table agreement has been reached on major issues for a new contract between the Thornapple Kellogg Board of Education and its teachers, there are still several snags which are preventing a set­ tlement. "We still have some language problems to be worked out in the contract,” said Tony McLain, president of the T-K teachers union. Ironing out some of the smaller details is a typical, time-consuming part of the contract process, he added. The local education association submitted its concern with the proposed contract language to the board before Christmas, but McLain said "the board has not responded back to us. So I'm not sure what their status is on that." Basically, the table agreement between the two sides is “almost within centimeters of the fact-finding report as issued....with some minor modifications,” he said. Last November, Fact-Finder David Borland recommended that teachers receive a three-percent pay hike for the current year and a cost of living increase capped between four and eight percent for the 1984-85 and 1985-86 school years. The teachers had asked for a 5.25 percent increase for this year and the board originally wanted them to accept a wage freeze. Continued, page 2 Ferris to step down as County Register of Deeds Howard Ferris. Barry County's Register of Deeds for nearly 23-years, has announced that he will not seek re-election when his term expires at the end of this year. "I am 67 now and I’ll be 68 this summer so if I'm ever going to retire, I thought this would be the time." said Ferris. He said he announced his plans to retire from his position at the county Republicans' recent convention. A life-long Rutland Township resident, Ferris was first appointed to the register of deeds' post on April 15, 1961 to fill the vacancy after the death of Vemor Webster who had served in the position for 25 years. Webster was the county's register of deeds from 1936-61. Prior to becoming the register of deeds, Ferris served eight years as the supervisor of Rutland Township. He also spent many years farming, but says. "I've eased out of farming pretty much now. I still have the acreage." When he retires from the county post. Ferris said he looks forward to doing some traveling. Gardening also will keep him busy. Howard Ferris, County Register of Deeds since April of 1961. will not seek re-election when his term expires at the end of this year. �The Hastings Bannei — Thursday, January 19. 1984 — Page 2 pSwWOT OftutioK—------------------------------------- ‘Trends across 10 years’ Longer school year... a good idea but who buys? The State Board of Education’s proposal for a longer school year sounds like a good idea provided that the burden of funding does not fall on local property taxes. Two weeks ago, the state board proposed that the school year be extended from 180 days to 200 days, phased in over a four year period. The board also proposed limiting schools to five snow days. State School Superintendent Phillip E. Runkel, 56, quickly pointed out that when he started teaching, 200 days were the norm, but the school year has eroded. In an interview last week, Hastings Superintendent Carl A Schoessel added that schools are expected to do a great deal of extra activities today, such as health checks, that take away from normal classroom time. We have already heard some people say that quantity cannot make up for lack of quality. We agree. Still, if we can work toward improvement in the quality of the programs while lengthening the school year, we shouid strive for that. The state board noted that students in Japan, West Germany and Russia attend classes for 230 days a year, nearly 28 percent longer than students in Michigan. Time and again, we have heard the acheivcments of foreign student touted by officials in Washington. Even if a consensus can be reached to implement a longer school year, the big question of financing the extra time still remains. Local property owners should not be expected to foot the bill alone. The alternative is to realign priorities in state spending. Education in the past 15 years has received a smaller and smaller percentage of the state budget. Funding a longer school year could help to reverse that trend. A permanent method of financing the plan must be created before the longer year is approved. As we have said in previous editorials, education must remain a priority for Michigan government and Michigan people. We have built one of the nation’s finest networks of schools and colleges and we should keep them among the finest. by Robert J. Johnston I remember Jim Darr and many of you do. too. Let me fill in the newcomers. Jim was, to me. the epitome of the independent business man. His lire shop at the comer of Michigan and Woodlawn was a collection of chronically disarrayed old and new tires, wheels, equipment and tools. Jim was a man of few wordsand it was evident that he didn’t spend much time worrying about what others thought of him. His customers, though, carried him in high regard because he dealt with them on a lowkey personal level while making repairs, selling them tires and giving them prompt sendee. When Jim closed his shop, half a dozen years ago or so, and died several years later, he seemed to close a chapter in local business that can never be re-opened. He was one of the last of the truly independent businessmen. Ten years on my job in Hastings has been long enough for me to see some trends developing which win affect all of us for years to come. Jim Barr symbolizes one of them. We are rapidly changing from a quiet, rural community to one that is dependent and respondent to things happening in the surrounding metropolitan areas, across the state and even the nation. I’m not referring to economic developments such as the recent recession or to state laws. I'm talking about day-to-day activities. Probably the most obvious signs of this trend are the fast-food restaurants along West State Street. Ten years ago all of the restaurants were locally owned and down­ town. Today, most of the food business is done either in franchised stores or the chain stores. (The exception, of course, is Rodees, which was a franchise until five months ago.) I'm not suggesting that this is necessaiily bad. but I'm saying that it is different. We change our behavior because of it. Meals are faster and less social occasions than they were before. Many people, including myself, will frequently choose the "drive-thru" window for even greater speed Downtown, businesses are increasingly affected by the surrounding metropolitan areas. That change began 15 years ago when the suburban malls opened , but accelerated as virtually all major retailers opened suburban stores. Right now, consumers are benefitting. Prices are cut locally as our Offering a newsman’s thoughts stores sell their products at the same 15 to 25 percent discounts that the big merchandisers do. In the end. however, we may end up cutting our own throats, locally, if we lose local merchants because they are competing on prices, hut paying higher costs. The independent television store or jeweler may become a branch of the big city store. I haven't yet decided that that's an im­ provement (For example, though I enjoy a Big Mac. it's no match for the Lee Burger you could buy at the Copper Lantern 15 years ago.) 1 suppose that all of this change should have been expected because we are changing in Barry County as a people. This is another trend that is becoming evident. Twenty years ago. the bulk of the county's 30.000 population had long roots here. Today, we've topped 45.000 people living within our bor­ ders and many of those people have to be newcomers. The change in business in the cities from downtown to suburban followed the movement of the people. Ten years later, the change of business in Hastings is again a reflection oi the movement of the people. The changing population has changed us politically, too. After decades of being Computer decision put on temporary hold A decision to purchase a computer system for use by several county departments was put on temporary hold, awaiting further study. The Barry County Board of Com­ missioners tabled the matter after discussing the proposal at last week's meeting. The county has received a bid of around $155,000 from NCR and $167,000 from IBM Corp. Both bids include interest fees on a five-year financing plan. Annual service fees would be$9297 by NCR and $9858 by IBM. NCR's system would accomodate only four county departments and would require approximately another $15,000 to hook in additional departments. IBM’s system, on the other hand, could accomodate those additional county department hook-ups without the additional cost, the reason its bid was higher. A committee of five department heads — Elsie Furrow, treasurer; Norval Thaler, clerk; John Ainslie, equalization; Michael Keeler, Friend of the Court; and Howard Ferris, register of deeds — plus com­ missioners Carolyn Coleman and James Gordon, have been looking into purchasing a system for the past year. They've been aided in that study — which has included visits to systems used by other counties and municipalities and presen­ tations by numerous vendors — by a specialist from Michigan State University. Coleman, speaking on the subject, told the commissioners the committee was recommending that NCR’s system be pur­ chased, adding that this decision has been forwarded to the board's finance committee. The decision was not unanimous, however. In further discussions, both Furrow and Ferris revealed that they pret erred the IBM system, although they had not voted against the group's formal recommendation. The board’s finance committee, Coleman said, discussed the proposed purchase and decided to hold off on its own recom­ mendation. "We wanted to discuss the subject more, particularly how and why the decision was made that way," she explained. "We have two good bidders," she added. “The decision is which is the better of the two." She noted that the finance committee also wanted the whole board to have a chance to further study the two bids. Coleman said that the dollar figures "were very close" and that the hardware bids “were close". “The basis for the committee’s decision,” she said, “was on software. The county will (initially) be trying to operate the computer system without a programer so the software company is very important to us. The committee felt that NCR gave us a better software bid. In ensuing discussion. Thayler strongly urged the commissioners to make a decision. “If you put it off another two weeks you're going to be besieged by both bidders who will be making counter claims to sway you," he pointed out. “Thequestion should be whether the board can afford a system, not whether we should hear more vendors. It’s time for a decision. "You (the board) appointed a committee to study this," he added, "and 1 think you should have some faith in its recom­ mendation." Keeler also urged a decision, explaining that he did not see what another two weeks would show. “I don’t feel I need to look at another vendor." he added. Furrow suggested that both companies be asked to bring in their equipment and "show us what they can do", noting that this has been done elsewhere.

Bargaining between the ThornappleKellogg Board of Education and its noninstructional employees has reached a stalemate and no further mediation or talks have been scheduled, said Larry Thompson, negotiator for the Michigan Educational Support Personnel Association (MESPA). The local MESPA unit represents 51 employees who comprise all the support staff in the Thornapple-Kellogg district except for the bus drivers. The non-instructional association has been bargaining since the spring of last year and their former contract expired on June 30. 1983. “Basically, only salary and one language issue, binding arbitration of grievances, remain from the eight issues taken to factfinding last October," Thompson said. He added that those same two issues are the only matters which David Borland, stateappointed fact-finder, ruled .n favor of the as- ciation last November. Borland, in his fact-finding report, recommended that non-instructional em­ ployees should receive hourly increases for three-years: 35-cents per hour during the 1983-84 school year; a40-cent hourly increase for 1984-85; and 40-cents for 1985-86. The non-instructional association had originally proposed increases of 5O-cents each year, and the school board initially had taken a position of a wage freeze. Thompson, in a prepared release, said the non-instructional association has taken a position of adopting he fact-finder's "award" in total for the following reasons: —"The district has already accepted the same fact finder’s recommendations for the teachers, who reached a tentative agreement in their talks last month. —The non-instructional association “spent a great deal of time and preparation for the fact finding hearing, and the association accepted this impartial, legally acceptable avenue in good faith to resolve the bargaining dispute in lieu of striking the district last September. —“The fact-finder's recommendations contained a minimum financial burden on the district, since no provisions were made Write us a letter!

Furrow also said at that point that she preferred the IBM system. Commissioner James Gordon, head of the finance committee, answered Thayler anu Keeler, explaining there were "little questions" that prompted a decision to wait. “With al) other things being equal, there are the questions of the $15,000 price difference, of whether we want to have the additional capacity now, and of whether it’s ad­ vantageous to pay for it now or later are things that have come up," he said. "There's just enough there so that we didn’t make a decision.” Coleman noted again that the rest of the board hasn’t been brought up on all the facts and figures and should be allowed that op­ portunity. Board chairmar, Paul Kiel, noting the statements made by Furrow and Ferris. sc:d "the indication is that we do not have a good, solid recommendation". "This is something that we, as a board, would like to have it we re going to spend this kind of money," he added.

Today, we see rapid growth at Flexfab. Pro Line, Hastings Fiber Glass Products and Hastings Reinforced Plastics, which is re­ aligning our local economy. On top of that has been the expansion of Hastings Mutual Insurance Co. In my ten years on the job in Hastings we have seen some of the most unusual times this community has gone through since the rapid industrial growth of 60 and 70 years ago. As a community, we must recognize this, plan for change, control the directions of change and take advantage of it while still holding onto the values we want to preserve and Elaine Gilbert Who will win the Super Bowl? for any other financial obligation (insurance benefits, longevity increases, etc.) in the multi-year recommendation." "To date, the Thornapple Kellogg Board of Education refuses to accept the fact Tinder's award for the support staff personnel as they did for the professional staff," Thompson said. "Instead, the board prefers to hold fast to its original position of no language or economic improvements for its non-certified personnel. "This position will continue to widen the economic and language protection disparity between the T.K. employees and their counterparts in neighboring school districts.” he said. Thomapple Kellogg Superintentent Gerald Page could not be reached for comment Tuesday on the board's position regarding the non-instructional employees because he was attending an out-of-town conference. Thompson said the leadership core of the non-instructional employee? feel they are receiving "unfair treatment" because the fact-finder's award was not accepted like the professional staff’s report. He added that the teachers' group also is concerned over the fact that the board has refused to accept the fact-finer's award for the support staff personnel. Pot Bueker Jock Reynolds Bill Karpinski JuW Simpson No Contract at T.K. continued from page 1 Borland's non-binding recommendations included proposals on three other issues on the table regarding insurance, early retirement and the school calendar. McLain said another matter which might delay a contract settlement with the teachers concerns the unresolved contract negotiations between the board and its noninstructional employees who also went through the fact-finding process. (Details about the support staff contract stalemate appear elsewhere in this issue). Both the teachers and non-instructional employees have been working without a contract during this school year. The board has not accepted the fact­ finder's award for the support staff per­ sonnel as it did for the teaching staff and that • probably could be a factor” in delaying a settlement with teachers, McLain said. He was scheduled to meet with the executive board of the education association Wednesday afternoon to further discuss the matter. "There is certainly some support amongst the teachers for the positions of the other employees. My job tomorrow (Wednesday) will be to meet with the executive board and find out how strong that support is and what our personnel choose to do with it,” said McLain. Regarding the teachers' contract status, he said, “even if we chose to settle at this time, there's a lot that isn't in writing yet. so we're waiting for it to convert into written language so we can make some decisions on it." • QUESTION • This Sunday. Jan. 19. marks the day millions of die-hard football fans from coast to coast have been waiting for all year — Super Bowl XVIII. This year's clash is between the NFL’s Washington Redskins (16-2). and the AFl/s Los Angeles Raiders (14-4). Odds-on favorites are the Redskins, powered by the throwing arm of Quar­ terback Joe Theismann. However, there are those w ho say that the Raiders* running back Marcus Allen will be the force to contend with Sunday, and that L.A. will prevail. Who do you think will win the Super Bowl? Brian Cuddahee. Hastings: ‘The Red­ skins. You just can't stop them. How do you stop Riggins? Theismann and Riggins are the best there are in the NFL.” He predicts a close contest, however, with the Skins winning by a field goal "I don’t know what the Red's defensive line will do against Marcus Allen...I’d like to see the Lions there, but that's a big wish." Mike Griffin. Durand: "I think Washington is going to win. but I’ll probably bet for the underdogs...Give me at least seven points...Defensively, I'd say DC. is probably stronger. It can go either way on offense Defense will probably win the game " Carl Clark. Lansing: "I think the Raiders will win.. I'll take whatever the spread is, though That's how I'll bet If Washington plays like they did last time (against San Fransisco), then they’ll lose by 20 points.. I like Plunkett better than Montana." John Eylander, Wayland: "I'm not much of a football fan, but I'll lake the Raiders. Super Bowl is the only game I get interested in. From what I’ve seen of 'em. I like the Raiders " Pat Bueker, Hastings: "I'll go with the Raiders I like their defense, a tough defense. Their offense if fair to medium I think they can stop Theismann. though. The Raiders can play the game tougher than any other team in pro football And they'll stop Riggins." Bueker said L.A. will win by at least a touchdown — he predicts a 27-21 score Jack Reynolds. Hastings “I hope Los Angeles gets even for ’Frisco. Washington was handed the championship game. I think the main attraction that day will be the Houston-Kentucky basketball game. Reluctantly, I’ll take Los Angeles even though I hate the Raiders. Good luck Jeff." Bill Karpinski, Hastings Athletic Director: "1 have Io go with Washington With (John) Riggins at running back and (Joe) Theismann at quarterback they have the edge offensively The Raiders have had trouble at quarterback I think it will be a heck of a game. The best two teams will be playing.” Jeff Simpson.

Traffic officers point out that the decrease in deaths in Michigan last year has been achieved with total statewide motor vehicle traffic mileage expected to be a little more than the 61.32 billion miles recorded in 1982. Officers also look for another good low year (or the death rate per 100 million miles of motor vehicle travel in 1983. Michigan had a mileage death rate of 2.31 in 1982, the lowest on the state's record. State Police traffic figures show that Michigan had three traffic deaths over the Christmas holiday weekend compared with 19 deaths in 1982, and seven fatalities over the New Year’s weekend compared with 10 a year earlier.

Gerald L. Hough. State Police director. While the present count will increase slightly due to delayed reporting, he said the continuing decrease in yearly deaths is encouraging. As of this accounting, fatalities in 1983 have declined by 8.5 percent from 1.417 in 1982 and by 47.8 percent from the state's highest recorded total of 2,487 in 1969. Increased use of safety hells and child restraints were a contributing factor as well as law enforcement awareness of the drinking driver problem. Hough explained. He stressed the importance of seal belt usage, noting that 94.6 percent of the 1983 fatalities who had seat belts available were not wearing them. "It’s their value system that’s changed.

Library expanded hours to continue At its meeting on Jan. 11 the Hastings Public Library board voted to continue for the time being the schedule of expanded hours begun on Oct. 24. Library hours are: Monday through Thursday, 12:30 to7p.m.; Friday 10a.m. to 5 p.m.; and Saturday 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. When the budget for 1983-84 is known, further consideration may be given to a change in hours. Eighteen persons who filled in question­ naires on the new library hours all reacted favorably to the expansion. Whether the board's intention of providing more evening time for students to use the library was fulfilled was not clear. While December has always been one of the least busy months at the Hastings library, the total number of items lent actually declined this year from earlier years. The total number of persons entering the library from Nov. 9 through overall. The average number of persons coming in to the library during the 6 to 7 p.m. hour added to Mondays through Thursdays was just under 5 per hour For the 10 a m. to 12:30 p.m. time added to Friday mornings, the hourly average was the same - not quite 5 persons per hour. The board will meet to consider the new library budget early in the fourth week of January �S^ocialTjeiuA Robinson-Frantz wedding announcement Hughes-Annen enchange vows Marriage vows were spoken by Becky Hughes and Bemi Annen on Saturday, Oc­ tober 15 at the Faith United Methodist Church in Delton.

Kim O’Mara Kim O'Mara says she didn't like basketball when she was in high school and rarely at­ tended a game. But, that's all changed now. Kim. married to Dennis O'Mara who coaches Hastings' varsity basketbail team, is an ardent Saxon supporter who can be found rooting in the stands at nearly every home game now. She says her interest in basketball began to climb graduation from Hastings High in 1974 when she attended the high school basketball finals in Ann Arbor and found the games to be very exciting. "Denny and I went to see the finals on one of our first dates.” she said. Kim. bom in Hastings, has spent nearly all her life here, except for a short time when she lived in Kentucky and Kalamazoo. As a youngster, she attended Northeastern Elementary School in Hastings. After high school graduation, she studied humanities courses at Kellogg Community College. She later worked in a clothing store in Kentucky and at a Kalamazoo restaurant. Since returning to Hastings, which Kim calls a nice town a..d a good place to raise kids, she works on call as a substitute receptionist and medical assistant for several local doctors. Last summer, she also worked at the Riverbend Golf Course. Kim and Dennis have two sons: Teague, 5, and Ben, 3. A lot of Kim's time is spent with the two boys, but she also finds time to be active with Pennock Hospital Guild 30. She also has icrved on the hospital's auxiliary board. With the guild, she has participated in the group's annual fashion show to help raise funds to purchase hospital equipment. She also has helped with work on some of the quilts which the guild makes every year for another fundraising project. In her sparetime at home, Kim says, "I read a lot...including novels and just about everything.” She also has done many cross-stitch projects but gives most of them away for Christmas or baby gifts. Kim also has en­ joyed making padded, cloth frames, a craft she learned through the guild. In the winter, cross country skiing is another activity that she and Dennis enjoy. When you have a husband who is a sports coach with irregular hours, cooking meals can be a problem, but Kim has come up with a solution with the help of a microwave oven. "The first year that Denny was a coach, I’d go with his schedule and have meals when he got home. Now we go ahead and eat and he can eat when he gets home becatoe everything can go in the microwave. "On game days, it's too short a time (from the time he comes home) until he has to go back,' she said, adding that on those days, "I try to do things pretty simply...and fix things that are easy to prepare” One of Kim's favorite recipes is for sesame chicken that she got from her sister. Kelly. Kim says she uses a wok to cook the sesame chicken but a regular frying pan will do just fine "I use the wok a lot because it's quick, " she said. “My mother-in-law gave it to me about four years ago. When you fry things, you don't have to use as much oil (in a wok). 1 think food tastes better because the vegetables are not mushy. You just cook them until they are tender and that way you don’t cook out the flavor." Kim said she likes the sesame chicken because it’s good, quick, and there's not a lot of clean-up involved. Kim O'Mara gets a lot of help from sons Ben, 2 and Teague. 5, when she prepares sesame chicken in a wok. "I think food tastes better when it’s cookad in a wok," she said. The recipe is quick to prepare and also may be cooked in a frying pan, if preferred. Kim O’Mara’s Sesame Chicken Use one-chicken — skinned, buned and cut in bite sized pieces. Saute in olive oil or sesame oil over high heat: 1-medium onion, sliced; 3-4 stalks celery, chopped; and a handful of fresh mushrooms, halved. Then remove from wok or frying pan. Add a touch more oil and turn heat down to medium. Add chicken pieces and simmer until done. Sprinkle with sesame seeds and soy sauce to taste. Add vegetables and more sesame seeds. Serve on rice. (Fresh pea pods and water chestnuts may be added to the onions and celery during the sauteing process).

Our marriage vows are taken from the Bible. Every hotel room holds a Bible. The last rites are performed on a dying person by a man of God. Every session of Congress is opened with prayer. Our “Golden Rule" is taken from the Bible. God's Ten Com­ mandments are honored in our society. Benjamin Franklin used the Biblt as his source book as he addresses George Washington and others when they gathered to draft the governing laws for the thirteen states in 1787. George Washington, our nation's first president said. "It is impossible to rightly govern the world without God and the Bible." On March 30, 1883. President Abraham Lincoln appointed a "National Fast Day." In it he said: "We have been [reserved these many years in peace and prosperity. We have grown in numbers, wealth and power as no other nation has ever grown. But we have forgotten God. We have forgotten the gracious hand which has preserved us in peace, and multiplied and enriched and strengthened us .... Even the walls of our government buildings bear testimony to the cen­ trality of the Bible in American life: The Ten Commandments hang over the head of the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court; In the House and Senate Chambers appear the words, “In God We Trust"; In the Rotunda is the figure of the crucified Christ; on the walls of the Capital dome, these words appear: “The New Testament ac­ cording to the Lord and Savior Jesus Christ"; on the Great Seal of the United States is inscribed the phrase, Annuit coeptis, "God has smiled on our un­ dertaking". Under the Seal is the phrase from Lincoln's immortal Gettysburg Address: "This nation under God.” Noah Webster, author of the “American Dictionary of the English Language" (1828), makes note of a deep commitment to the Bible. Literature and the Arts show biblical influence. Knowledge of the Bible is indispensable for the reader to un­ derstand Dante's "Divine Comedy." Milton's "Paradise Lost" or Bunyan's "Pilgrim's Progress”. Themes in the bible influenced artists and musicians such as Bach, Handel, Mendalssohn. Reubens, Rouault, DeVind and Dore. Isaac Newton developed the mathematical system called Calculus, discovered basic laws of motion for the universe, as well as the basic principles of color and sight. In his writings, he credited these prindples to the God of the Bible. He felt he had God - ordained potential. George Washington Carver's study of chemical and agricultural laws allowed him to develop the potential of the created order that brought economic prosperity to the world. The results of his studies led to the development of innumerable products from the peanut. Carver based his scientific study of the created order on the first book of the Bible, Genesis 1:29. From the seemingly insignificant legume (peanut), he made cheese, flour, dyes, ink, wood stains, soaps and other derivatine products numbering to nearly 300. Our modern day scientists are finally beginning to recognize the Bible as foundation truths to be worked in conjunction with, not in spite of, discoveries to heal the troubled mind and spirit and body, as it really goes hand in hand with God's laws contained in the Bible. The answer to every problem known to mankind is held within the scrip­ tures. These same solutions are as pertinent to our modern day problems as they were a thousand years ago. The Bible is ageless and forever new. P».ce Money Market Checking... Cost of check printing is extra on oil chucking accounts The Bible was written over a period of about fifteen hundred years (from around 1440 B.C. to around A.D. 90) by more than forty authors The authors were from every walk of life including kings, peasants, poets, fisherman, statesmen and scholars. The Bible was written in different places. Moses, the great political leader and recipient of God's law, wrote his books in a desert. Luke, a medical doctor, wrote while traveling with the Apostle (missionary) Paul. Paul wrote much of the New Testament while in prison; they were letters to Christians in different countries. During war and peace, in the midst of great joy or from the depths of great sorrow. God had His Word written. The Bible was written on three continents: Asia. Africa, and Europe. II was written in three languages: Hebrew (the language of the Jewish people), Aramaic (the common language of the Near East until the time of Alexander the Great), and Greek (the international language al the time of Christ). The Bible is divided into two main parts: The Old Testament and the New Testament, the word testament as used the Bible means covenant, or oath. The Bible, this ageless Book, is making an impact on the lives of people from slum soup-kitchens to the White House. Our President has proclaimed 1543 as the "Year of the Bible." One of the unique aspects of the Bible is its endurance, it's ability to survive the attacks of those who seek to destroy it's message and influence. It’s influence was exemplified as millions of Americans watched their television screens on Jan. 13, 1982, to see a middle-aged man, at first an ordinary, anonymous plane crash victim, helping, one at a time, the other survivors cling to the life-saving tow rope, as he himself perished in the icy waters of the Potomac River. He selflessly exemplified the words of Jesus Christ: “Greater love has no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends" (John 15:13). Kathryn Koob, an American diplomat who spent 444 days as a hostage in Iran, told her guards, "We may be here for the next fifteen years! And my job is to sit here and wait." She gained courage and hope by daily prayer and meditation. Her captors could not believe her continued faith through the long hours of mob - hatred and chaos. The Bible has withstood violent at­ tacks from Godless countries and in­ dividuals. It has been burned, banned, and outlawed at various times. Voltaire, the famous French atheist who died in 1778, declared the Bible and Christian faith would not he believed in one hundred years. On the 100th an­ niversary of his statement, the Geneva Bible Society purchased Voltaire’s printing-press and started to print Bibles from there. Voltaire is dead but the Bible continues to make it's impact on the world. “The patience of Job," a “doubting Thomas," "being a Good Samaritan," "having the wisdom of Solomon,” and “an eye for an eye" are phrases familiar to many of us. They happen to come from the Bible. Did you ever stop to realize what a deep impact the Bible has made on Western civilization and on our society in particular? It is r.o accident that the similarities between modern laws and biblical laws are so striking. What the two have in common are: seeking justice, operating on the basis of impartiality, and giving legal protection to the in­ nocent. Even the idea of meting out different types of punishment to suit a crime comes from the Bible. Every time you pick up a United States coin, you hold in your hand evidence of the tremendous impact the Bible has made on our country - "In God We Trust."

State St. Monday, January 23 �The Hostings Banner—Thursday, January 19. 1984, Page 7 Kiel reflects on county’s past year and coming session on is the contract negotiations with em­ ployees at the sheriff department, represented by the Fraternal Order of Police. Do you want io make any comments (on that stalmale)? No more than what I've said before. I think that we're reasonable people and I don't know why they (FOP) have to go to a third party (an arbitrator) to settle the dif­ ferences. I honestly believe the negotiations can done between our personnel committee and out attorney and they’re committee and they're attorney. An issue that you’ve pushed, although most of the other commissioners haven’t been that enthusiastic. *s for the county to rejoin (as a paying memmber) the South Central Regional Planning Council. Could you give some reasons why that's a step you feel the county should take? There're monies coming down from the federal goverjiment through (regional) groups such as South Central. I just happen to believe that this county should try lb get its taxes back by seeking the grants which come through that council. There are monies available to us that we don't even know about which South Central is atvare of. Also it’s very embarrassing to our com­ missioner, who sits on that council, to be there and our county's not carrying its fair share. Which would be how much? $5000 I believe. Paul Kiel, an Orangeville Township Democrat, recently concluded his first year at the holm of the Barry County Board of Commissioners and was subsequently re-elected for another year to that post. Kiel reflects here on the past year that saw the board operate as a seven-member body rather than an 11 -member one. Barr} County's Board of Commissioners recently completed its first year as a seven­ member governing body, a change from the 11-member format of previous years. The smaller number of commissioners has resulted In broader responsibilities being taken on by individual members. It has also resulted in much of the board's work being done by the various committees, such as finance and personnel, with their decisions and recommendations then being brought before the full board for action. .Along with a new format, the board completed its first year under the chair­ manship of Paul Kiel, an Orangeville Township Democrat finishing up bis third term. Last week members re-elected him to that post and he. in tern, reppolnted the committees as is for another year. During Kiel’s chairmanship in 1983. the board was faced early on with budget con­ cerns. Uncertainty with "how much" and “when” slate revenue-sharing funds would be forthcoming forced the board to spend a good deal of time and energy making sure it had the revenues availabe to maintain servh es. The year also saw a three-year contract negotiated with the members of the Cour­ thouse Employees Association, but failed to see an agreement reached between thr county and employees at the sheriff department, represented by the Fraternal Order of Police. Talks between the two aides have gone to arbitration. As chairman, Kiel has pushed for the county to rejoin the South Central Planning Council. The council is a voluntary, fivecounty regional consortium, consisting of local government bodies at the county, city, village and township levels, that is used by the state as a clearinghouse to channel federal dollars into approved local development projects. He has also pushed for the expansion of the county's tourist industry, arguing that more tourists and their dollars will mean more local jobs. With that year and its agenda now com­ pleted and with a new session and its con­ cerns now facing the commissioners, The Banner took an opportunity this week to sit down with Kiel to reflect on ’83 and to look ahead to ’84. This past year the board of commissioners went from 11 members to seven, making it a different type of commission in that in­ dividual members took on broader responsibilities. You also had a fairly smooth year (business-wise) compared to previous ones. As chairman of that group could you reflect on the past year? As far as I’m concerned — not because I had anything against the previous com­ missioners — but going from 11 com­ missioners to seven was like going from a Model A to a Cadillac. When we put together our various com­ mittees (finance, human services, judicial services, personnel, county development, county facilities, and central services), we did it on the basis of who has interest in certain areas. For instance with the finance committe, we have Jim Gordon, Carolyn Coleman and Ted McKelvey. You couldn't have a better team. McKelvey is a former (township) supervisor and he knows the cost of government. Coleman was a former commissioner and chairman. (And) with Gordon, that’s what he was involved in previously (as a member of the board). I think probably the biggest change was that each chairman of each committee, with two other commissioners aiding them, did their work. They did an excellent job of doing their work, and they resolved any dif­ ferences they might have had in committee. And I know they had differences, but they resolved them (within the committee) in an equitable and fair basis. They'd then report to the (full) board and. because they’d done they're work, the board almost always accepted the committee's report. Naturally of course you can ask questions. Would the difference (between last year and previous ones) be then that, while there were committees before, more of the work by the commission in 1983 was done by your committees?. I’m not saying that the former com­ missioners didn’t do their work. What I’m saying is that when a committee (from that previous board) came before the (full) commission, they wouldn't have an ex­ planation of why they did something and, when there was a problem, they hadn’t resolved that problem in committee. This board of commissioners has made my job so much easier than Ken Radant's (the previsous board chairman) that it's unbeleivable. What you're saying Is that most of what happened this year, most of the discussion that's taken place, has been done through the committee-system, then brought to the board for further discussion and decision, as op­ posed to previous years when a lot of the discussion and debate by a committee carried on through to the whole board? Right. We’ve gotten rid ail of the, "what do you want to call it? Gobbly gook?’’, the senseless arguments that we had ... and I'm not to sure that at times I wasn’t to blame for some of it. When I First came on the county com­ missioners I really believed that the (county) employees were working for poverty wages. Not because I’m a union man. but because I honestly beleh e that if you do a fair day's work you ought to get a fair day's pay for it. And I thougnt that the wage structure was very poor. There were some commissioners who felt the employees should be getting those wages, but I just didn’t feel that way. 1 think they have a structure now that’s comparable to almost anyone in county government. Getting back to *83. what would you — along with your feeling that the board ran smoother and more efficiently — say was accomplished? Is the opposition to joining because of the money or because they don’t l«lieve in the process? I've got to believe that it's because some of the townships (which commissioners represent) are against it. 1 guess these townships don't understand some of this regional stuff. I guess they figure why should a region, a planning council, be doing those things for our county. But there’s many benefits you can get out of this. It’s a five-county group. They have a director and resources. Certain y it's a place for us to go to expand our (planning and development) ideas. And it’s the process which the state uses to channel federal money to local govern­ ments? That’s one of them. Look at the South Central Commission on Aging. That works very well. We did have some problems with it a while back, but we .BarryCounty get a considerable amount of money from it The money from the state is put into the com­ mission on aging and they in turn distribute it to Hie five counties. Some people don’t like to spend govern­ mental money, but. if it’s there, you ought to take advantage of those tax dollars. It's your money coming back from the federal government to your county. If you don’t do something with it. there’s 82 other counties that will be glad to use it. You’ve made mention before at com­ mission meetings, in your campaign, and in the newspaper your feeling that efforts should be made to expand tourism In the county. I would hope that tourism number one in this county. becomes Do you want to elaborate on that? We have a committee — the Barry County Tourism Commission — which is working on this task. Also we have John Patterson who is an excellent director at Charlton Park. I’ve talked to John many times. He is so en­ thusiastic and ambitious to get more ad­ vertising to promote tourism here. I feel that tourism is going to get bigger. I’d say one of these days it’s going to be the biggest industry in the state and in our county. Tourists bring money into our county, and they provide jobs. And there’s so many nice things to do in Barry County that would at­ tract tourists. One thing I have to say is that I don't see too much activity by the business community to get people to come here. If I was a businessman, I think I'd be pushing the heck out of tourism in the county. To qualify that, there are people coming into the county, but you’re saying there's a potential for more? Yes. Certainly enough people show up in your part of the woods (Gun Lake). Yes, in a little over a week (during Gun Lake’s Winter Festival) the place will be trampled down. Now those people are going to spend a lot of money at businesses there and those businesses will hire more people. It (tourism) does provide jobs and that's my main objective. There's a Jot of people in the county who don't have jobs. We have to bring in more jobs. We have to promote tourism. We have niei, snown nere cnairing a meeting ot the commissioners, is a strong advocate of promoting the county’s tourism industry as a means of procuring more local jobs. to promote economic development where industries can expand. I think a good example of economic development is Flexfab. I admire that company. They stayed here in town. Along with that, what other priorities do you have for the future? For the immediate future is the decision on purchasing a computer system. That will be on the next agenda. I certainly would like the public and the county employees to offer ideas and ways that we can make local government more efficient.

I was good for the county. Now we can put money aside to repair buildings, buy cars for the sheriff department, and things like that on a five-year plan. It allows us to do more planning. Making ends meet with the *83 budget (which at the year’s start was very tenative because of the uncertainty of state funding) would have to be another accomplishment, wouldn't It? I'm always very proud of that fact. I see a lot of budgets that are not met, including the state's. I'm always very proud that our budget has been balanced. Credit for our ’83 budget credit has ti go to that good finance committee. Department heads and elected officials have to prove to that committee that they’re (expenses) are facts and not inflated. The committee asks questions and calls them back in several times (to go over they’re requests). Not to degradate any of the other board committees, but you did mention one time at a commission meeting your belief that the finance committee was "the” important committee this year because of the tight budget. That's right. You see we’ve been having less state and federal revenues coming in. Even when the cost of living raises, we get the same or less money from the state and federal governments than we had the previous year. That is a cut in money for the county. I think the finance committee did an ex­ cellent job of working within the budget and they did so without laying off any county employees One of the things from *K3 that's still going Hastings Kiwanis Club presents...

In I9B0, the Maintenance of Effort idva wos developed a* a way to reduce costs to the State 01 Michigan in­ crease federal matching revenues for Medicaid ond maintain county participation in the operation of medical care facilities. WHEREAS. County governments agreed to this arrangement, bulieving that they would share equally in lhe extra federal funding made avail­ able through rebasing. The formula eventually adopted, however, resulted m a less than equal sharing of these increased federal dollar* In fact, while appropriations for medical care facilities ond chronic care units increased by almost 15 percent between 1980 ond 1982, the State cf Michigan saved itself over one million dollars. This difference was paid for by federal revenues and county gov­ ernment. WHEREAS. Since 1981. the burden of county gov­ ernments imposed by the MOE has continued to mount. While state funding for these institution* has increased by 12.9 percent over the last 6 year*, mandated county MOE contributions have risen by over 65 percent. This jump has occurred in spite of the fact that MOE rate increases ore tied to the ocluol cost experience of county medical care facil­ ities. and these costs have increased at a slower rate than the inflation adjustment* forecast by the State of Michigan. The greater burden placed on county government, which has grown in the fact ol greater federal financial participation, must ultim­ ately be shouldered by county taxpayer*. WHEREAS. Among these taxpayers ore residents of our own facilities. Under federal law. many of them on Medicaid are required to make personal contributions each month toward their own care. These contributions increase with every upward ad­ justment of social security benefit*, and normally pay for the first several day* of care provided every month. These day* ore commonly known a* Insti­ tutional Code or IC doy*. and are lhe subject of SB *482. Accordingly, the state Medicaid program ad­ justs the amount it pay* to medical care facilities downward by a like amount. At the same time, however, the state government still require* lhe counties to pay MOE rale* on all of these IC days. WHEREAS. This situation strikes us as unfair. The Stale of Michigan has reaped the benefit of in­ creased federal funding while placing a greater burden on county government. In the case of doy* paid for by the patient* themselves, it is particular­ ly unfair, since they are in efled paying twice for the same service while the state contribute* noth­ ing. WHEREAS. We agree with lhe basic Maintenance of Effort concept. It is reasonable for the counties to participate in lhe operation of their medical core facilities, and for the state lo seek more equitable funding from the federal government. We also be­ lieve. however, that it is reasonable for the coun­ ties to share more equitably in the distribution of those federal dollar*. We ask your help in removing the burden created by requiring county funding on days paid for by medical care facility resident* themselves. BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED.

The ownership of first place in the Twin Valley basketball is at stake this Friday and the Hastings basketoall team is hoping it holds the right papers to lay claim the title. The Saxons (3-1 league. 7-1 overall l host league-leader Sturgis (5-0, 9-0) on that night in a battle that will either start Hastings thinking about the districts, or plunge the Twin Valley leadership into kaos. If Hastings wins, a three-way tie is likely with Albion (3-1 league) still very much in the picture. The Trojans, ranked sixth in the state, handed Hastings its only loss of the season with a 59-39 pelting on Jan. 3. Sturgis coach Paul Gorsuch is expecting no such repeat performance this time around. "We know it'll be a different type game this time," Gorsuch said Tuesday during a telephone conversation. “Hastings will shoot a lot better on their own home court." Hastings’ shooters were ice cold in Sturgis hitting only 17 of 51 shots (33 per cent). Sturgis, meanwhile, hit 25 of 48 shots (52 per cent). "It was probably our best game of the year." continued Gorsuch "We played at our peak that night and they were probably al the uottom. That can happen sometimes in basketball." Gorsuch is content with the solid play of his team as of late. "We playing pretty well right now. You always feel the team can get better and I think we can get belter.” he said. One drawback for Sturgis will be the possible loss of 6-1 senior center Scott Herrmann, currently sidelined with a sprained ankle. He hasn’t practiced since Jan. 6. and his status for Friday is "questionable," said Gorsuch. The loss of Herrmann would heap more pressure on the shoulders of senior swingman Jim Moran, who scored a teamhigh 17 points against Hastings, and junior guard Chad Stewart, who dumped in 15. Hastings coach Denny O’Mara believes the key to the game will be shooting. Another 33 per cent shooting night will most certainly start the Saxons wondering about the districts. "I hope we play better. We’re going to make a few adjustments,” concludes O’Mara. “They played a near-perfect ballgame down there. Our kids know they have to play well for us to win." O’Mara said he hasn't stressed to his players the fact their collective backs are against the wall in this game. "We haven't approached it that way,” said O'Mara. "We intend to play a better game or least as good a game as we can play. We don't think about our backs being to the wall.” O'Mara, whose team was outrebounded by a paltry 28-26 margin the first time, said Hastings can't let the bigger and stronger Trojans bull their way inside and grab any quick leads The Saxons fell behind 15-9 at the end of the first quarter and 31-19 at the half at Sturgis. The team has to keep the ball outcourt and away from the basket, said O’Mr.ra. "Once they get up on you it’s hard to come back on them because they do several things well,” he added Pranger notches win 100, Trojans edge Wayland 55-54 Sue Wallace (left) of Hastings, tries to block a snot trom a (-aieaonia piayer in Tuesday's three-set loss to the Fighting Scots. The Saxons are now 5-6 overall. 7 (Banner photo) Hastings volleyball team splits with Caledonia, Ionia, now 5-6 The Hastings volleyball team saw its record move to 56 overall with a 4-15, 17-15, 8-15 loss to Caledonia and a 15-3,15-8 win over Ionia on Tuesday night. Saxon coach Kelly Yarger said the two matches should be placed at both ends of the athletic spectrum. The Saxons played well against Ionia and poor against Caledonia. "The girls were psyched out against Caledonia,” said Yarger. "They had one real good player (Jill Harrison) and after the first game we were just psyched out. "In the second game we figured out we ot oi-aI f>o* ■ tt>0 j«. could win, and in the third game we just got too far behind.” Hastings trailed 96 in that third set before losing i56. Eric Jacobs and Sue Wallace had six points each for Hastings and Tammy Connor added five. Against Ionia, Yarger said her team looked completely different. "We played our game,” said Yarger. "We set it up the way we normally can. We played well." Connor had 10 points, Jacobs eight, and Teri Kessenich six. SPORTS ...ata glance by Steve Vedder Coaches say it’s Skins in Super Bowl Only a handful of sports activities have the rather awesome power of being able to capture an entire nation's rapt attention for a single afternoon. There’s the Indy 500 and the Ken­ tucky Derby to name a pair. The other great sporting events — the World Series, the NCAA basketball tour­ nament, and the New Year’s Day bowl games drag out all day or several days or even weeks. The greatest sporting event, the one that sends 80 some million people to their favorite chairs in front of the television on a Sunday afternoon in January, is the Super Bowl. Despite the gross media overkill of the mulli-million dollar event, :he Super Bowl survives as the greatest single sports spectacle in this country. Period. It's hard to believe we've already liad 17 of these Pete RozeHe-arranged creations. It seems like only yesterday when Green Bay was beating up on Kansas City in what hardly could be considered the first Super Bowl. Does it seem that game was played way back in 1967? Anyway, Super Bowl XVIII (his Sunday might be the best of them all with two extremely evenly matched and talented teams, Washington of the NFC and Los Angeles of the AFC, going for each other's jugglar and a piece of Rozelle's playoff coinage Washington with its "Fun Bunch" and "Hogs." against Los Angeles with its collection of castoffs nobody else in the league would touch with a 16-loot contract. Who’s going to win? It’s probably a tossup even though the last time 1 glanced at "The Line" Washington was favored by four points. Naturally everyone has their own opinions of who will have the honor of dousing one another with champ come Sunday evening, but who better to offer quality opinions than other footbail coaches? So I asked our five Barry County football coaches for their predictions. Jeff Simpson. Hastings: "The Redskins. It’ll be a close, high scoring game. The Redskins have the better quarterback and when he's on nobody can stop him. “It'll be one of the better games we've seen in the Super Bowl.” Ray Page. Middleville: “I think it'll be a good game; the two best teams are there. I want Washington to win and I think they will. “(Joe) Theismann is a better quarterback than (Jim) Plunkett and (John) Riggins is a more powerful back than (Marcus) Allen. On defense though, I give the edge to the Raiders." Fred Pessell Delton: "Both teams are evenly matched but I give the edge to Washington. I like Riggins and they have a better passing attack." Dan Watson. Maple Valley: "Los Angeles will win. They're the roughest, meanest team. 1 have no basis other than that for thinking they'll win. It's just a hunch. Tim Wood. Lakewood: "Washington. Everything else is equal but Washington has the better quarterback. When they have to eat up time 1 think Riggins has the best ability to do that. “Defensively I like Los Angele's type ofaggressivedefense. ” The scores men. pick the scores: Simpson — 28-27 Washington. Page — 35-31 Washinion. Pessell — 27-24 Washington. Watson - 24-20 Los Angeles. Wood — 24-17 Washington I'm not a football coach but my monev (so to speak) is on Washington. The Skins throw deadlier passes than Magnum P.I. and their defense is uglier than a one-eyed cabbage patch doll. The Raiders, on the other hand, might find themselves shorthanded after not being able to raise enough bail money to spring some of their cronies out of the various Tampa slammers on Saturday night. My score? How about 27-20 Washington If that score is right — and you can bet your last dime that it is - feel free to call the office anytime Monday. I’ll be readily available to accept my due credit. If it's wrong, hey. you shouldn't be betting anyway. Tom Schwartz's free throw with 20 seconds left allowed Middleville to slip past a stub­ born Wayland team 55-54 on Tuesday night. The win marked win No. 100 for Thori»apple Kellogg coach Skip Pranger, now in his eighth year of varsity coaching Middleville is now 5-3 this year while Wayland falls to 7-3. After Schwartz’s free throw haitled the Trojans the tenuous lead, Wayland missed a field goal attempt. Middleville grabbed the rebound but missed two free throws with four seconds remaining. "We played well enough to win." said Pranger "Our last four games have been decided by three points or less." Middleville led by 12 in the second half but turnovers, missed free throws and general all-around shoddy play allowed Wayland back into the game. “We kept letting them off the hook.” noted Pranger. “We didn't play very smart.” The Trojans led 46-39 after three quarters and outscored Wayland 15-9 in the final eight minutes. Pranger said the team’s bench probably had as much to do with the win as the star­ ters. For example, Rob Pickard came off the pine to score six points and added two key second half steals that helped changed the game's momentum. “We got some real good play from the bench," said Pranger. Other non-starters who contributed greatly to the win were Dave Karel with 10 points and Brian Kaechele. Dave Perry led Middleville with 12 points and Tim Heffner added eight. It wasn’t a game that featured teams whose shots continutally seared the nets. Middleville hit 21 of 54 (38 per cent) field goals while Wayland bagged 20 of 60 ( 33 per cent). Delton handed 56-52 setback at Charlotte It was one of those tipical Tuesday night, long bus trip, non-league games that high school teams have such a hard time with. Even so, Delton basketball coach Paul Bucken found Tuesday’s 56-52 loss to Charlotte a bit hard to take. "That’s all part of basketball," said Blacken of the trip, non-league game, etc. "H’s something we have to overcome to becomes good team. We’re a good team, just not good enough to walk on a court and win a game like that. "They (Charlotte) just played well and we Bob Carlson (far left) and Buzz Youngs (middle) enjoy a laugh with Hastings basketball coach Denny O Mara before a recent Saxon basketball game. Carlson and Youngs will be honored before the Hastings-Sturgis game this Friday for their longtime service to the school.

Springfield......... didn't” Charlotte jumped to a 14-11 first quarter lead, but the Panthers rallied to grad a lead for the only time all evening. 30-27, with two minutes left in the half. The Orioles, b vever, scored the final four points of the half to lead 31-30 at intermission. Charlotte outscored the visitors 14-11 in the third period and then played them even in the final eight minutes, 11-11. Delton is now 6-3 with the loss and an un­ derrated Charlotte team moves to 4-4. Blacken said Delton's inside game wasn’t quite as effective as it's been in recent contests. The Panthers did hit 20 of 38 from the field and showed excellent inside TWIN VALLEY passing. "We had a lot of layups," said Blacken. "(Steve) Tuin had seven or eight just on inside passes." Tuin finished the game w;lh 27 points and 12 rebounds. Brett McBeth added 13 points. Charlotte's guard duo of Brian Dane and Steve Beebe continually hurt Delton at the free throw lane. Dane hit five of seven while Beebe canned 10 of 12. As a team Charlotte made 16 of 24 from the line. Sparta.................................

The men, scorer George B. “Buzz” Youngs and timer Bob Carlson, absorb every movement by the players and two referees. One mistake on either of (heir parts — one missed free throw, documented foul or lost second ticked off the clock — could con­ ceivably lead to utter kaos later. Heads may not roll, but the two men’s credability cer­ tainly might. Scoring a basketball game and keeping time arc two duties neither man takes ,ightly . J J ,, . "You can't let you mind wander, nods Carlson, a longtime teacher, as he scans one of his junior high gym classes. "You have to be precise, attentive. Buzz and I say very few words when we’re at the table. Sometimes during a timeout we'll talk. "But when the clock is running all I do is watch the officials." Right around the corner from the junior high at his home on Clinton Street sits Youngs, spooning down a bowl of clam chowder for lunch. He agrees with Carlson's assessment of their duties as official Hastings basketball timer and scorer. “It’s fun and interesting," says Youngs, who used to travel with the Saxon team to away games and who has only missed a handful of games in nearly 50 years. "I don’t know. When you love the kids — although I don't know them like I used to — it gives you a sort of new lease on life. “Every game is something new. They're not all thrilling, but they’re new.” Neither man hardly can be considered "new" at their respective jobs. Youngs has kept the scorebook at Hastings ballgames since 1946, and as for Carlson...well, he isn’t sure just how long it has been. “I don’t know, really," laughs Carlson, who also keeps the clock at home football games. "It's all been so automatic." Because of their decades of service to the Hastings athletic department, the two men will be honored Friday night at the HastingsSturgis basketball game. Even though both men try to maintain top^ notch professional standards, they admit a few mistakes may have inadvertently popped up over the years. Carlson's job as official timer entails his knowing when the ball is in play and when the clock should be stopped. He admits it isn’t always easy to recognize a referee's call in the midst of 1,300 screaming spectators. "I have to remain calm, observant," he says. "I don't want to make a mistake that could cost either team the game. "I’m made mistakes — I readily admit it. But the officials have made mistakes too." Youngs says he used to have to force himself at times to pay attention to the game. But now he realizes a scorer is a critical part of the game and can't afford to botch even one scratch of the pencil. “I've quit trying to referee," he laughs. While Carlson can't remember too many former classic Saxon basketball games, Youngs says two games come to his mind immediately. He says he recalls the night a water pipe was misdiievously broken in the old East gym flooding the gym during a key game with St. Johns. The game, critical to the outcome of the West Central title, had to be rescheduled. When it came time to finally play the game, Hastings was without a key player who had had to undergo an emergency operation. Hastings lost the game and the league title. Youngs also remembers a winter night in Grand Ledge in 1952 when Lynn Beadle poured in 50 points to set a new Hastings scoring record that lasted until Mark Brown smashed it last year. Carlson says his scat along courtside actually helps him enjoy the game mor-! than if he were in the stanch kibitzing with friends and missing the action. “I enjoy watching the kids play and I think 1 wind up watching the kids more this way.” te says. “I know what's going on every minute of the game." It would be hard not to become par­ ticularly attached to Certain coaches and even players over the years, says Youngs. That, he admits, has been one of the prin­ cipal enjoyments of the job. "The cooperation has always been good.” he says. "Coaches are usually gentlemen. Of course, they can loose their heads in a close game every once in a while.” Scorekeepers and timers can't, however. Page resigns as Trojan football coach Thornapple Kellogg High School Principal Henry J. Dugan announced recently that Ray Page, a teacher and coach at the school for 29 years, has resigned as head footbaL coach. Page plans to devote more lime to his new position as athletic director. Page’s coaching career was both very successful and varied. He helped make Middleville’s football program an annual state power while coaching the sport at the freshman, junior varsity, and varsity levels. As head coach of the junior varsity for nine years, Page compiled a 56-11-4 record. His three years as a varsity coach ended 16-11. Named varsity basketball coach in 196’’. his eight year stint included two league and three district championships. His 1966 team finished 22-1, advancing to the state semi­ finals. Track coach from 1955-1968. Page com­ piled an impressive record of 91-25. including six conference championships and five in­ dividual state champions. Page believes he has coached in more than 70 athletic contests during the 29 years.

Page 10 Rabbit hunting prospects abound by Steve Horton Local rabbit hunters — like their com­ patriots throughout the rest of southern Michigan — are in the midst of an excellent year and prospects expected to remain so for the rest of the season. “We don’t have an estimate on numbers," said Pete Squibb, a supervisor for the DNR’s Farmland Wildlife Section out of Lansing. "But we do know there's a darn good population of cuttontails. It's really good this year." Squibb credited the increase on last winter’s sparse snow cover, which reduced the number of bunnies lost to natural predators, plus last spring’s wet conditions, which kept farmers off their hay fields long enough for broods to become more mature. Our current winter, Squibb said, is having the opposite effect. “The predation from hawks, owls and fox is probably getting pretty heavy right now," he explained. "Il always is when we have extended periods of snow cover down here. Cottontails are built to be camouflaged (from their enemies) by cover, not while out on the snow. "The object of the dedicated hunter should be to get out early in the season beiore the surplus is skimmed off," Squibb noted, "but this is a extremely good year for rabbits and a hunter should continue to do well." For that would-be sportsman, success is best guaranteed when hunting a cottontail's normal habitat, including fields with tall grass, swails, areas with brush piles from recently cut timber, fencerows, old or­ chards, old farmsteads, and places with hard, woody vegetation. The Barry Game Area, Squibb said, should offer excellent prospects for bagging a rabbit. “We've done a lot of work over in Barry,” he noted. "There’s been recent timber sales (that have created better habitat). We’ve put in a lot of meadow seedings to create per­ manent cover for rabbits and other small game. (And) we’ve done a lot of edge develonment along woodlots and fields to create new sprout growth (for food and cover)." The best hunting method is still one that utilizes a dog. particularly a beagle, allowing the hunter to stand and wail while his canine friend does the flushing and chasing. For the dogless hunter. Squibb suggested finding a place with good cover, then go through it slowly (preferably with a partner) and try to flush one out. “Also wait for warmer days when it’s 15 degrees or more." he pointed out. "Cot­ tontails have a tendency to be out and away from their hole more often when it's warmer out." Prospects for next year, the DNR super­ visor said depend on how the rest of the winter goes ("It may break and thaw,” he noted) and what type of spring we have. "They do well when we have wetter springs and the hay cover isn't mowed as quickly," he explained. "Rabbife ar? so prolific though that even with a small-base number they can increase their population 500-to-600 percent in just one breeding season," Squibb pointed out. "If weather conditions are right and they can pull those young onq$ off, you wouldn't even notice that their numbers were down earlier in the year.” Annual Lumipallo Cross Country Ski races set for Feb. 4 LUMIPALLO - it means "snow ball" in Finnish...and that’s just what the Barry County Child Abuse Council hopes the entire family will have at the annual LUMIPALLO CROSS COUNTRY SKI RACES, being held at scenic Charlton Park in Barry County Feb. 4.

Paul Keil, continued... things or something else, 1 would welcome, and I know the board would welcome, any suggestions or ideas which we can discuss and see what’s in them. What disturbs me sometimes — and 1 certainly wish more people would come to our meetings and would be more interested — but what distrubs is Lhat there’s a few people who will .say "We did it this way 30 years ago or 25 years ago". Now that's all right for them to tell us about it, but don't continually say it. I'm sure that we learn, other people learn, from the mistakes that w ere made 30 years ago. But we live in a different world. Instead of always telling about what happened 30 years ago over and over, if those people have so much time to think about that, I just wish they would sit down and think about what they could do to make Barry County better down the road. Instead of worrying about what happened 30 years ago. we should be sitting down and thinking about what we can do to help Barry County in the future. 1 sure there's people out there that have good ideas, and I'm willing to listen to anybody, but let's forget about what's happened in the past and put it behind us. My boss at the UAW taught me that if you have an idea or issue that you believe is the right way logo, you fight for it as hard as you can. You fight to put that across. But if you lose, you forget about it. You lost the ballgame. He'd say "Well Paul we lost that issue, now let's go onto the next issue." We’ve touched on a few things like tourism and economic development, but what other things would you like to see take place in the county? This is probably not a reality but I would like tosee taxes reduced somewhat. I can see where the farmers are having a tough lime, along with unemployed people and people on fixed incomes. I can see that with myself. I’ve been quite fortunate and was never sick too much. I was pretty conservative with my money and I did pul some aside for the future, but I'm on a fixed income and I can gradually see go. Taxes are probably one of the things eating me up the most. Again though you have to have tax money to operate this county. Government is nothing but a service and taxes are the only place you have to get money from. If you're a manufacturer or a company where you build or sell a product, then that’s where your money comes from. It's a lol different with government though because you don't make anything, you don't sell anything Tax money is where the revenue comes from. There are other sources, but I doubt you’d ever break even with things like court costs or marriage fees. I think sometimes our county employees don't realize lhat we don't make a product, we don’t sell a product. The only monies we get are from the taxpayers. We're respon­ sible to those people and with how we spend their money and how we serve them. Do you enjoy being the chairman of the commission? Love it. I like it because of the system we operate with now. It’s very easy for me. I like it because we've gotten rid of all •hose minor arguments. We can do the business of the commission in a half a day where we use to do it in a day or more. I also realize that the commissioners are overloaded by reducing the board to seven people. And, if you equal that with what pay they get. it’s not right. 1 guess foi awhile I was opposed to appointing an outside group to set the salaries for the county com­ missioners. but. the more I think about it, I guess it’s probably the fairest way to go. Let a group of outside people study the matter and see what you come up with. For me. I’m not a rich guy, but I can gel along without a pay increase only because I’m retired and make enough to go on. But it has to be raised. For the amount of work the commissi.'ners do, they're he lowest paid people in this county. They do a lotof work. There's a lol of meetings to go to. I myself went to 212 meetings last year. It's oecome almost a fulltime job. I* that something we want to see happen? A commissioner's post becoming fulllime? No, but with the time that's required to do the job and with the pay a commissioner now gets, you eliminate a lot of people from the position. I'm sure there's people in this county who can do the job belter than I can , but they’re eliminated because there’s just no way you cuu»J survht <econoiiiivuuj > and still put in 'he time to do the job. You almost have to be a retiree or a farmer who's kids are running the farm, or someone like that to be a commissioner. Is a county executive the answer? No, I don't think the county is big enough. I think we have capable people ion the board of commissioners) right now to do the job. Ifyoudidhavca county executive, then I’d say there's nothing wrong with the present commissioner's pay because he or she would be more involved in that kind of work like the negotiations and attending meetings. But I don’t think we're big enough for one �Bowling Results Country Kettle Cafe, 32-32; Mode O'Day, 2836; Top Notch, 26-38; Bosley's Hustlers, 2341: J & G Stock Farm, 22-42. THURS. MORN.

New ways to handle your phone service Kiwanis travelogue on Jan. 24 ‘Call of Yukon’ coming “Call of the Yukon", a color film filled with adventure, wildlife and spectacular scenery, will be presented as the fourth show in the Hastings Kiwanis Club's World Travel Series. The film, narrated personally by ad­ venturer-photographer Steve Maslowski, will be shown Tuesday, Jan. 24 at 8 p.m. in the Central School Auditorium. For almost a century, the Yukon has been a siren, beckoning to the North those with adventure in their hearts. On the shores of the river lies the territorial capital, Whitehorse, whichserved as a stopping point for the many Klondikers making their way to the far north. Although Whitehorse now provides all modem conveniences for the present day travelers, it still retains much of the flavor of its heyday, 1898, when it became world famous as a bawling, sprawling boom town. The rugged wilderness and unparalleled mountain scenery show peak after snowcovered peak towering two and three miles high, where massive glaciers start their grinding journey to valley floors. It is here in the high meadows that the Maslowskis filmed the larges free-roaming population of the elusive snow-white Dall sheep. The program moves on to historic Dawson. the Paris ui the itui tn, which once overflowed with 30,000 gold-hungry people. Now it is an Arctic ghost town, where fewer than 1.00C hardy souls still brave savage winters. In the Yukon, wildlife is plentiful and in the forests and along the shores of lakes anc streams can be found black bear, caribou anu moose, while overhead bald eagles soar and glide. Steve Maslowski is a graduate of Brown University. He has traveled and explored extensively with his father, prominent naturalist Karl H. Maslowski, as they have photographed wildlife in various parts of the United States, the Yukon and Arctic portions of Canada's Northwest Territories. Tickets for the Kiwanis World Travel Series are $10 for six admissions, which may be used in any combination — six at one show, two at three shows, etc. Student tickets are $3. Season tickets and single night ad missions are available at the door. Season tickets are also available from Kiwanis members, at many local businesses and at the Hastings Reminder-Banner office, 1952 N. Broadway.

Charlton Park enjoys ‘super’ attendance year “Super Summer" says it all in describing 1983's visitation to Charlton Park with more people using the facility than ever before. In all. 83,255 people visited the park, 85 percent of them coming in June, July, and August Park Director John Patterson explained that this was due to the fact that most visitors go to the beach area and 1963 saw a hot and dry summer. "If you recall. May was relative wet and cold, so we had lhe worst Memorial Day weekend in years," said Patterson. "But June was hot with no more than a couple of brief showers. That month we iiad 27,198 people in the park which set the all time record for attendance. July and August, traditionally our busiest months because they're hotter, saw another 43,599 visitors to the park. "Like farmersand other tourist industries, Charlton Park is directly affected by the weather." he added. In addition to the number of visitors, 1983 saw. the most season passes to the beach­ recreation area sold and lhe largest gate receipts (excluding special events) in the history of the park. Patterson noted, though, that even with such a banner year attendance-wise and relative high gate receipts, the park had its lowest budget and total receipts since 1976, when major expansion of the village began. "Of the total number of visitors to Charlton Park, 28,621, or 34 percent, visited the historical village-museum area," he said. "This is the highest number of visitors to this part of the park in a single year since the inception of the village. Slightly over 50 percent of these, or 15,633, attended the park's special events. A further breakdown of the village's visitors reveals that there were 2,712 school visitors and 1,419 other group' visitors. This leaves a total of 8,857 visitors to the village who were the basic •family unit' tourists.” While the users at the beach-recreation area were primarily residents of Barry County, a visitor survey undertaken in the historic village during July and August shows that 80 percent of the visitors to that area (excluding special events) came from out of the county. “While Barry County residents made up 20 percent of the village's visitors," said Patterson. "Battle Creek and Kalamazoo were close Behind with 13 percent each. Grand Rapids accounted for 12 percent. Lansing 10 percent, and another II percent came to Charlton Park from within 50 miles, but outside of the county and not from the four cities already mentioned." The other 17 percent of the visitors break­ down as follows: 50-100 miles away, six percent; and over 100 miles away, 11 per­ cent. including two percent each from Detroit and Chicago. Of the people who responded to the survey. 36 percent had learned about Charlton Park in the last year and another 26 percent had learned about the •park within the last five years. "All of this data strongly suggests that the continued development of the historical area and promoting it can help the park and the county,” Patterson pointed out. "Not only does this preserve our cultural heritage and fulfill part of Irving Charlton's legacy, but lhe tourism revenues do. and to an even great extent can. benefit Barry County." He noted that Charlton Park's county appropriation was $35,768, while the total revenues amounted to $144,868, thus, $109,100 was generated by the park from other sources. During the year. $141,284 was expended from the park's operating fund and $41,741 from the building fund, for total expenditures of $183,025. After subtracting the $29,553.57 paid to vendors outside of Barn County. Charlton Park spent $153,472.25 in the county. "Accurding to the Travel Bureau of lhe Michigan Department of Commerce." he said, "every tourist dollar generates another 78 cents before it leaves the community. Using this factor, those dollars spent in the county produced another $119,708 of indirect expenditures. Combining these figures, the park contributed $273,100 to Barry County's economy. "One can see both the existing and potential value of Charlton Park to Barry County." Patterson added. "If more people can learn that Western Michigan's Best Kept Secret' is here, more will come to visit the park. Even more important than the economic value, however, is the importance of preserving a part of our heritage so this and future generations of Americans can gain some sense of how their ancestors lived — and how those people and the institutions they developed helped to forge this great country.” SERVICE DIRECTORY INSURANCE TRAVEL LAWNMOWERS ft CHAIN SAWS INSURANCE COVERAGE For your... • Individual Health • Farm • Group Health Business • Retirement Mobile Home • Life Personal Belongings Home Rental Properly Auto Motorcycle ■ -.i.a ' 7 WOODLANDS r Sales and Service ;( 1 11' ..at 'h 321S.

New principal named at Pleasantview Page 8 Page 1 Hastings gets state grant for new well Council accepts $147,000 The Hastings City Council Monday night authorized the mayor to sign papers ac­ cepting a $147,000 state grant for the replacement of a defunct city water well The money is made available through the Small Cities Grant program, administered by the Office of Business and Community Development in the Michigan Dept, of Commerce. The grants were part of the Emergency Jobs Bill additions to the 1983 Small Cities grant program. The $147,000 state money will be matched with $150,000 local funds, for a total project cost of $297,000. The well will be heated on a parcel of land, lying above the flood plain, northwest of Tyden Park. The council approved the purchase of a 24acre parcel :n December, part of which would be used to house the well. Shortly thereafter, a private citizen donated the $45,000 cost of the land as an addition to Tyden Park. City officials expect the work on the well to be completed by August. The letter from the Dept, of Commerce to Mike Klovanich, director of public works for the City of Hastings, reads: Tam pleased to inform you that the Dept, of Commerce has approved a Small Cities Emergency Jobs jPublic Works grant for theCity of Hastings." ’ The letter went on to say that any Joyce M. Newhouse is the new princi­ pal at Pleasantview Elementary School in the Hastings Area School District. New principal starts duties at Pleasantview Joyce M. Newhouse, former principal in the Gull Lake Community School system, lies been selected for the principal's post at Pleasantview Elementary School in the Hastings school district. Newhouse succeeds Arthur McKelvey who retired from the position earlier this school year. An elementary school principal in the Gull Lake system for th*? past seven years. Newhouse began her new duties here on Monday and says she is enjoying the challenge of her new position. Newhouse began her career in education as a fourth grade teacher for one year in the Kalamazoo Public Schools, then moved to the Battle Creek Public Schools where she taught students in the fourth and sixth grades for eight years. Following her tenure in Battle Creek. Newhouse taught sixth graders in the Pennfield Public Schools where she also served as the program coordinator for the federally funded Title I program. While in Pennfield, she received the "Outstanding Elementary Teacher" award, and also was an elementary teacher intern consultant fur Michigan State University. She also received an award as “Educator of Distinction in Administration-Scholarship" from Delta Kappa Gamma. Leaving the Pennfield School System in 1976, Newhouse became an elementary school principal in the Gull Lake Community Schools and served as an administrative intern in the Forest Hills Public Schools in the summer of 1980. Newhouse received her undergraduate degree from Calvin College in Grand Rapids and has master of arts and educational specialists degrees from Western Michigan University in Kalamazoo. She has served on the board of the Michigan Association of Supervision and Curriculum Development; been the chair­ person for the Curriculum and Instruction Commission; and been a member of the executive committee for the Michigan Elementary and Middle School Principals Association.

Friday when his Blazer left Kellogg Street and plunged into the ice-covered Thornapple River - where it “turned turtle." Police said that Dean L. Kosbar of Maple Grove Road. Hastings, was able to crawl out a window of the vehicle and walk from the scene to seek help. In the meantime a passerby spotted the upturned truck in the water and notified the Barry County Sheriff’s Dept The Nashville ambulance also was summoned, but was turned back as soon as it was determined that no one was in the river and that Kosbar. the sole occupant of the Blazer, had escaped unhurt. Police said Kosbar told them he was headed east on Kellogg Street when an on­ coming car crowded him into the right edge of the highway on the curve near the Hager Road intersection. He lost control of the vehicle and it slid over the embankment into the river. A Vermontville wrecker was called to retrieve the truck. The Nashville Fire Dept stood by during that operation in case of a gasoline leak Both the Nashville Police Dept, and Barry County Sheriff's Dept were on the scene Hastings modification of the grant must have prior written approval of the Dept, of Commerce, and it urged “careful review" of the grant conditions. Klovanich said no modifications are ex­ pected in the grant at this time. Klovanich. who wrote the grant, and reviewed the papers along with City At­ torney Richard Shaw, said he will not know how many persons will be employed by the new construction. "We won't know that until the contracts arc let, and we know who our contractor is going to be." said Klovanich That won’t occur until a month after the site undergoes an environmental and historical review, said Klovanich. Klovanich also said it is not known at this time how deep the well will be. "We won’t know that until we get our hydrogeological information, when we know just where the aquifer is." In other business: Council reappointed Dennis Cleveland to a three-year term on the Hastings Planning Commission. Mayor William R. Cook stated that Cleveland had "expressed an interest in staying on" the commission. The Hastings Area Schools were given permission to use the city’s four voting machines in the March 12 millage renewal election. The use of the machines was granted under the direction of the city clerk. Family loses home in Lake Odessa fire A Lake Odessa family is homeless following a Jan. 18 fire that destroyed a house on Donna Dr., in Woodland Township. Lake Odessa Fire Chief Gordon Eldridge said the fire at the Ray Carpenter residence apparently started when an electric heater set a couch on fire in the living room. Eldridge said the home is a total loss. He said Carpenter, his wife, and at least one of the couple’s children were home at the time of the blaze, reported about 9:40 a.m. Lake Odessa area residents are currently taking cash donations to help the Carpenters rebuild their home, which was uninsured. Donations can be made to the Ray Carpenter Building Fund, at the Union Bank in Lake Odessa. Banner Devoted to the Interests of Barry County Since 1856 Volume 129. No. 4 Hastings. Michigan Price 20c Thursday. January 26. 1984 Assessment increase averages 2.16 percent The average assessment of real property in Berry County was increased 2.16 percent from year ago with ag assessments showing the greatest hike at five percent. Countywide the residential assessment also went up. a 1.3 percent increase, while both commercial and industrial'assessment averages dropped less that a half percent. Equalization Director John Ainslie presented those figures to Barry County Board of Commissioners at its Tuesday meeting, plus a breakdown of the assessment ratios and multipliers for each property category in each of the 16 townships and the City of Hastings. "This (the breakdown) is a summary of all the work our office has done." Ainslie said. “I've talked with the state man and showed him these figures." Ainslie added. "He's pretty much going to accept them." In the agricultural category, Assyria, which last year had a 24 percent multiplier put on by the county, this time around had that assessment reduced five percent. The largest multipliers put on township agricultural assessments were Barry with 13 percent. Woodland with 11.3 percent and Maple Grove with 10.5 percent. Hope had one Hastings woman dies in head-on crash Tuesday Sherry Bithop ol Gurd Rd., Hotting*, died Tuesday afternoon following a headon collision on S Broadway. ' >-mile south of Brogan Pood of 8.9 percent, Prairieville was 8.2 percent, Castleton 7.9 percent, Irving and Carlton 7.2 percent. Orangeville 6.8 percent, Yankee Springs 6.2 percent. Thornapple 5.3 percent, Hastings 3.6 percent, Johnstown 2.4 percent, Rutland 1.4 percent, and Baltimore 1.2 percent. In residential assessments, Carlton, Hope, Irving, Johnstown. Thornapple, and Woodland Townships all had negative multipliers put on, lowering their overall assessment. The largest mul tipliers were put on in Orangeville with 11.6 percent and Assyria Township with 8.2 percent. Multipliers for the remainder of the town­ ships ranged from 1.4 to 4 percent. Multipliers in commercial and industrial assessments for the 16 townships and Hastings City showed between zero and one percent. EPA sewage crackdown won’t affect Hastings Hastings won't be affected by the En­ vironmental Protection Agency's latest "get tough" policy on municipalities with inadequate treatment plants, said Mike Klovanich, director of public services. The EPA is expected to put non-complying municipalities on notice this week that they will have to meet the requirements of the law and stop discharging raw or partially treated sewage by 1988. “We've been real fortunate,” said Klovanich, "Our plant has been meeting the requirements of our permit all along." ad­ ding that some months' reports show the plant exceeding requirements. Klovanich said the only problem en­ Barry County’s first fatal traffic accident of the year claimed the life of a 36-year-old Hastings woman Tuesday afternoon. Sherry Bishop, Gurd Rd., Hope Township, was pronounced dead on arrival at Pennock Hospital at about 4 p.m. Tuesday after the vehicle she was driving collided head-on with a car on S. Broadway. 4 mile south of Sager Road. The driver of the second car, Jeffrey Ray Wolfe, 19. of Hastings, was treated and countered here is in the treatment of phosphates. EPA standards call for an 80 percent removal. Klovanich said the trouble comes in the winter, when the water tem­ perature drops. Hastings has one of two plants in the state that use lime to remove phosphates. Phosphates promote weed growth, which leads to a condition in lakes and streams called eutrophication. The EPA crackdown follows revelations that nearly half of the nation's 15,500 municipal sewage treatment plants do not meet the standards, making them the biggest polluters of the country’s lakes and streams, according to the EPA. released at Pennock Hospital following the crash. His brother. Michael Wolfe, 17, a passenger in the car, was admitted for ob­ servation o. a head injury. Sheriff deputies say Bishop was south­ bound on an unpaved portion of S. Broadway about 3:15 p.m. when the mishap occurred. The accident is currently under in­ vestigation. Deputy Don Glasgow of the Barry County Sheriff Dept, said that none of the three Agency officials said that to bring violators into compliance with the Clean Water Act's effluent discharge standards would cost $21 billion. The feds have given $37 billion to municipalities in the past ten years to build treatment plants. Nearly 90 percent of the nation's industries are meeting the discharge standards for pollution other than toxic waste. The EPA has yet to crack down fully on industrial discharges of toxic waste. State DNR officials estimate that 35 percent of Michigan's more than 400 treat­ ment plants currently fail to comply with the federal Clean Water Act subjects were wearing seat belts at tne time of impact, adding “I think a seat belt would hr/e helped (Bishop) a lot." Glasgow said there are no known witnesses to the accident. He urges anyone with in­ formation about the mishap tocontact him at the Barry County Sheriff Dept. Bishop was employed with J-Ad Graphics, publishers of the Hastings Banner and the Reminder. �, The Hastings Banner— Thursday. January 26. 1984. Page 2 “Batuwt tyudM. Senior pix- What happened? Tourism: By Ken Reibel T/me for action We’ve heard a rising call for more promotion of Barry County as a tourist at­ traction. The time has come for some strong action if anything permanent and significant is going to take place. The Michigan Travel Bureau estimates that between $5.3 and $5 7 billion was spent in 1982 on travel and tourism in the state. Of that, Barry County's share was estimated at $6,837,000 to $7,353,000. a paltry .13 percent of the total. David Morris, consultant to the Trave) Bureau, says that the reason the county gets such a small share is that the number of travel related businesses is relatively small. On the other side of the coin, the county has many tourist attractions, ranging from the Gun Lake State Park, which is the busiest day-use park in the state, to the unique historic village at Charlton Park In between are 325 or so named lakes, many of which have small resorts and cabins for rent and are perfect for family vacations. Paul Kiel, chairman of the Board of Commissioners, is interested in promoting tourism from a jobs standpoint. In an interview last week he said. “(Tourists) are going to spend a lot of money at businesses... a nd those businesses will hire more people. It does provide jobs and that's my main objective.” Judy Middleton. of Chief Noonday Rd.. Middleville, received a good citizenship award from the Michigan State Police Tuesday for assisting a stale police trooper during a booting mishap that claimed the life of a Grand Rapids mon lust July. Trooper Robert Norris of the Mailings State Police Team, received a citation for professional excellence. Presenting the citations is Inspector Larry Douville. MSP district commander. The talk of promoting tourism here dates back long before the formation of the present Barry County Tourism Committee about two years ago. In the 1940's the Tourist and Resort Association was formed to do exactly the same type of promotion that is being discussed today. One businessman who worked with the group said that it died because the resort owners were too competitive with one another and would not work cooperatively. Two cited for action during boating mishap Five years ago the Barry County Overall Economic Development Committee touted tourism as a great potential long-term economic boost for the county. The committee went to the extent of outlining a ten-point feasibility study to determine the potential for the tourist industry in the county. To the best of our knowledge, this plan Fits on a shelf at the courthouse. The current Tourism Committee approached the Board of Commissioners, last year, and made a request for funding. The finance committee of the board asked for more information on how the money would be spent and as yet has taken no action. At this point, the Tourism Committee seems to have no clear idea of what it wants to do. Several members want to work with the county Road Commission to compile a map of tourist sites. Presently, the commitee collects and distributes existing brochures on*a limited basis and compiles a county-wide calendar of events. Much of tne work of promoting tourism gets done as part of the work of the Hastings Area Chamber of Commerce, which has a full-time office staff to handle inquiries, and through the promotion of Charlton Park. Because those two organizations work together, some coordination of activities takes place. A Michigan State Police trooper and a Middleville resident were cited Tuesday for conduct exhibited last July when a Grand Rapids man drowned in Williams I^ake in Yankee Springs Township. Judy Middleton, 9239 Chief Noonday Rd., and Trooper Robert Norris received citations for Good Citizenship and Professional Conduct, respectively Middleton's citation reads "Awarded...for services characterized by alertness, initiative, and responsible citizenship in her assistance to a Michigan State Police officer and others at a boat upset and drowning incident." The incident arose when the victim. Donald Lynden Hall. 46. was fishing on Williams Lake with his two sons. Donald Jr., 24. and Jason Lynden. 12. Troopers said that Hall's IO-IgM. flat-bottom boat developed engine trouble and stalled. When the engine started back up. the nose of the craft plowed into the water, and the boat capsized, said police. Trooper Norris was cited for professional conduct, after he swam 75 yards tc retrieve the drowning man. Norris then attempted CPR on Hall, while standing knee-deep in mud. and up to his waist in water, near the shoreline Middleton received her award for swim­ ming out with Norris, and calming the vic­ tim’s two sons. "This enabled the officer to continue his revival efforts until an am­ bulance crew arrived." states the citation. Police now say that the victim may have blacked out from a head injury suffered when the boat tipped, then drowned. It appears that no listing has ever been compiled of resorts, restaurants, cot­ tages. tourist related businesses and the like. Except for the loose work of the Tourist Committee, which we praise because it has been done all with volunteers, no coordinated efforts are taking place to promote the county as a whole. In Allegan County, by comparison, the Allegan County Tourist and Recreation Council, which has been in existence for two years, has compiled lists of facilities and attractions and has most of them entered into a computer for easy access. The organization has. with the assistance of a private company, published 190,000 copies of "Country Roads" to promote the attractions. In addition, funds have been spent for billboards using the slogan. "Say Yes to Allegan Country” and other promotions have taken place. Dick Higgs, the council's chairman, is a walking encyclopedia of facts about the county. The total budget for the promotional campaign for this year will be $6,400, with $2,500 coming from the county’s general fund and the remainder from donations. Higgs says that the work of the council has been boosted by the involvement of James Rolfe, chairman of the county Board of Commissioners. With this background, we offer three specific proposals to get some positive steps underway. First, we suggest that Paul Kiel call a meeting of resort owners, interested of­ ficials and owners of tourist related businesses. Through personal interaction, the board chairman could determine if those people directly affected by increased tourism are interested in having more business, if they have facilities to handle more business and if they would be willing to share the cost of promotion. We recognize that such a meeting would provide just a rough sample of opinions, but it would be a big start. If the business owners are not interested, why go further? Secondly, Kiel and others must address the question of funding. Wes Tebo of the West Michigan Tourist Association states flatly that the best way to fund tourism promotion is a room tax. which is paid by the tourists themselves. Tebo says that this method is being used throughout west Michigan, where a Board of Com­ missioners collects the tax of one Io five percent, keeps a small portion to cover administrative costs and turns the rest over to the local tourism group. He notes that one problem with voluntary contributions is that it takes several years before the contributors begin to see any results and they often lose interest and stop their payments. Whether this is the solution for Barry County should be discussed among the resort owners and the commissioners. Finally, we suggest that the Tourism Committee be reorganized to create a part- time executive director's position, someone with the time and incentive to carry out a number of the jobs that need to be done. Somebody, other than volunteers, must do the coordination and legwork. Our first choice for filling this post is to combine it with the position of director of Charlton Park. This would avoid creating a new position, with its accompanying administrative costs, and would also relate directly to the present job of promoting Charlton Park. If this is not feasible, a part-time position could be established working out of the Hastings Area Chamber of Commerce office. Tourism seems to be much talked about in the recent past and some progress has been made to coordinate the promotion that is already being done in the county. To be effective, however, government and business must combine their resources and move ahead with a plan of action. Shicks to perform at local church Sunday Wayne and Laurie Shick will be ministering in music at 6:30 p.m. this Sunday (Jan. 29) at Word of Faith Fellowship. Both Wayne and Laurie have been active in music all of their lives. Prior to their conversion, they were members of the secular band Sky Bolt & Co. which played in the Hastings and Charlotte area. Now their origianal music is centered on their relationship with Jesus Christ and their desire for others to know Him too, said a spokesman from the church. Reorganization of first grade planned at Delton An emphasis on improving developmental skills will be highlighted when a read­ justment in the first grade takes place Monday at Delton Kellogg Elementary School. The district's board of education heard a report about the p’anned first grade reorganization from Principal Marilynn Baker at last Monday's meeting Superintendent Dr. Jahn Sanders said the reorganization is an "attempt to do a better job of meeting the needs of some of our students.” The emphasis will be to work with students' readiness skills in the areas of development and behavior, he said. The change will not include an addition to the staff, but some students will be shifted from one teacher to another. The board is also in the process of con­ sidering the possibility of implementing a "developmental kindergarten” — a concept that is known as "a young 5's program" in other districts, Sanders said. It would be a program that would be structured to meet the needs of a kin­ dergartener's developmental age rather than chronological age. The concept of a developmental kin­ dergarten is currently being studied and a recommendation to the board is expected by the end of February. The board approved two inservice ac­ tivities for staff members that will be paid with federal funding under Chapter II. A two-day workshop, offered by the Kalamazoo Intermediate School District, on the topic of Gesell Screening for kin­ dergarteners is one of the inservice programs approved by the Delton board. The school plans to use the Gesell Screening with kindergarteners this spring and the screening also would be beneficial if a decision is made to have a developmental kindergarten. In the otlier inservice program, nine teachers (K-12) will attend a two-day Grand Rapids conference on the use of computers in the classrooms. In other business, the board: —Approved an addition to the teachers' handbook covering procedures school em­ ployees should use in the event of an assault on any school personnel by a student or nonstudent. It's an item that previously had not been covered in the handbook and it outlines actions personnel should take. —Heard that the high school will have an affiliation with the National Honor Society for the first time.

Blue Cheer. Cream. Hendrix. But 1 didn’t realize how much things have changed until last week, as I stood in the office of an area high school, waiting to see the principal, the mere act of which would have made me trembling in my Keds 10 or 11 years ago As I wailed (or my appointment. I passed the time looking at a bulletin board festooned u ith this year’s senior pictures, and I thought back to the class of 73. The faces were the same, full of optimism, idealism, and the blush of youth. But there was something dif­ ferent here. My class had the same pose; a shot of the face, head cocked slightly to one side, chin up. eyes not quite on the lens, and a safe, vague smile that wouldn’t leave the beholder wondering what was so funny, or what you had to hide that day To me. a senior picture is a sort of time machine that you set aside in a safe place to let incubate over the years, or a bottle of fine wine that never goes dry no matter how much or it you drink But what of the class of ’84? Of the 50 or so pictures stuck to the bulletin board, only a handful were the basic head and shoulders shots. Instead, one sees kids leaning against trees, squatting in fields, and straddling fences. As 1 studied all the different variations of what 1 considered to be a very traditional theme. I began to list all the ways today s high school students posed I have since broken them down into categories. Here they are: The tree people: This is a very popular pose this year. Usually, it's girls that get into posing with a tree. Some caress trees, others lean against them, and I think most are trying to hide behind their tree. Now I like trees a lol. and it's apparent that other people do too. Just ask anyone from the DNR about the consequences of clearing a couple acres of aspen, or felling some ancient oak by the roadside. But thinking back to the rope swings and the tree huts of my youth. I can't recall ever fondling a tree. A very unnatural pose. The fence people: Not cyclone fences, but the wooden ones that traverse unused pasture land and look as if they're about to blow over. Both sexes go for this pose. There are several ways one may pose with a fence. You can steady your hand on it (to keep it from falling down), you can lean on it (not too hard), or. as one brave lad did. you can sit on it (what about the slivers? >. I suppose the person who has his or her picture taken next to a fence wants people to think they were close to the land, which makes sense in a rural county. Variations on the fence pics utilize old wagon wheels, antique threshers and bales of hay. The field perchers: This is my least favorite pose. After all. what do most people do when they squat in a field? The main value of a senior picture, I think, is its use as a comparison 10 or 20 or 30 years later. An 18-year-old face is a kind of a canvas, on which one paints all the stress and joys of life. It's not a picture of some stupid field. One senior girl was posed with a field and a tree. And the photographer stepped way back for the picture, so that the subject's face took about one-sixteenth of the photograph, as if the girl, the tree and the field were all classmates. 1 think 1 would come to regret it if my senior picture was comprised of a couple of tree trunks, acres of goldenrod, two eyes, a nose and a mouth. Face holders: It's a shame that young people can be so self conscious of their looks and I think it's a greater shame that an 18-year-old girl has to stick a hand on her face for her senior picture. No matter how bad she thinks she may look (not everybody can look like Brooke Adams), it has to be better than she will look after she’s had five children, ten jobs, and a husband. And that’s when senior pictures prove their worth. And you kids think my generation is weird. PUBLIC OPINION ...by Ken Reibel and Elaine Gilbert Do you need a computer? Four injured in Wednesday mishap Four people were treated and released at Pennock Hospital after a head-on collision on Chief Noonday Rd., '4-mile east of Briggs Rd., which occurred Wednesday about 9:15 a.m. State police from the Hastings team say a vehicle driven by Karla McDonald, 28, of Shelbyville, was eastbound when her car slid on the icy pavement, and crossed the cen­ terline. striking a car driven by Anthony Cupic, 31, of Elizabeth, Pa. Police say both cars left the north side of the road after impact. No citations have been issued. Also treated following the mishap were two passengers in the Cupic vehicle, identified as Jerome Machnik, 23, and Dale Caldwell, 19, both of Pennsylvania. Troopers say McDonald was the only subject to be wearing seat belts at the time of the crash, adding "She could have been hurt worse."

The company claims that the new computer, uhich talks and plays music, only takes two hours to master, and will make home computer-, as essential lo the American household as telephones and toasters. Do you need a home computer** Maxine Pennock. Bellevue: “I don’t have one (a computer) but I think it would be very valuable to young children..." Maxine, a teacher, also said she isn’t sure that a per­ sonal computer would be that valuable to her at home, but stressed its importance in preparing children for the high technological world in which we live. "I wish I would have had one when my children were home.” Ron Mesler, lamsing: "I don’t think I need one now I bought one last spring and sold it. I needed a letter quality printer to go with it. but didn’t want to spend Si.000 for the printer I plan on buying another computer, though, when I graduate 'from law school).” Mesler says computers have many dif­ ferent applications, including educational. "You can expand your horizons with one. People may think they don’t need one. but they probably haven't used one They may be uncomfortable with the technology." Mary Windes. Hastings: “Yes, I think it would be most valuable (to have a computer at home)." Although, Mary, a teacher, doesn't have one, she thinks it would be helpful in balancing the household budget and a multitude of other uses, like storing recipes. Mary and Maxine Pennock said they will soon be taking a computer class with other teachers. Mike Merrill. Hastings: "No At least not for a long time. Around the home, there isn’t a whole lot to do with a computer. In a business there is. Al home, about all you can do with one is store recipes." David Parkhurst, Delton: “What I want is a word processor, hut they are yet too ex­ pensive. and too susceptible to change. In about five years they will be small, portable, and inexpensive enough to lx* practical." Parkhurst likens home computers to TV •'It’s dangerous in some ways, but it’s going to happen . .automation, cars, computers, all create insanity, hut it's inevitable " Mary Dailey. Hastings: "I think it’s something be open lo. a part of the future When Apple comes out with McIntosh, and says it can be mastered in two hours, it makes a lot of people think in terms of having one." Bruce Walkington. a Lake Odessa area farmer: "No, not at this present time (a computer would not be beneficial to me). The main reason is cost...I don't think a com­ puter, for the average farmer, would pay off — it wouldn't be economical. Maybe a computer would be beneficial for a group of farmers to use." Connie Witzel. Hastings: "Because of the involvement of the schools, we feel it would be to our kids advantage to have one...Economically, 1 don’t think there’s any savings factor with it." Connie also said her family is considering the purchase of a computer, but says "I don't really look for it to basically change us that much.” She noted the "high tech advertising" of computer commerc.als that make you feel "you just can't live without it, but I'm sure we could.” As far as recovering costs of a personal computer, she thinks the only ways would be ifstudents show educational gains from their experience with computers or the computer is used for a home business �The Hastings Banner Thursday, January 26. 1934, Page 3 Raising the roof— Moving day can be a hassle, what with all the packing and unpacking. So imagine the job Roy Girrbach hod Tuesday morning when he moved an entire house from its former location next to Gir.'bach s Funeral Home to the corner of Apple and Pork Sts. It took nearly two hour; and a legion of Consumers Power linemen, telephone and cable crews to move the two story, frame house only a quarter mile or so.

The board of commissioners Tuesday decided to accept the bid of NCR Corp, for a computer system, along with the ac­ companying bid of CSSC for the software service. Cost of the purchase — contingent upon the two parties reaching a satisfactory contract — is around $155,000 and will be financed over a five-year period. The county though may pay off the noteat any time. Also part of the agreement is an annual service fee of $9,297. Using the system initially will be the clerk's office, the treasurer’s office, the equalization department, and the friend of the court. Heads of those offices, Norval Thaler, Elsie Furrow, John Ainslie and Mike Keeler respectfully, along with com­ missioners James Gordon and Carolyn Coleman, sat on the committee which studied various systems during the past year and two weeks ago recommended that NCR be awarded the bid. The commissioner's finance committee last week went over the information and concurred with that. The purchase decision, however, failed tc get complete agreement, commissioners Bernard Hammond and Rae Hoare voting against the motion. Hammond did not elaborate on his vote, but during earlier discussions he had ex­ pressed a preference for IBM. the other bidder, stating that the company had a proven record. Hoare said her opposition resulted after reading a letter, written by Keeler. The commissioners, Hoare explained, had asked each member of the study committee to write a “general" letter, explaining reasons why they fell a system was needed and which system they preferred. In his letter, Keeler said he was “ex­ tremely apprehensive about ongoing service and support from the IBM Corporation and the software provider". He wrote that the Friend of the Court in Branch County, which had purchased an IBM system, had "ex­ perienced continual difficulties" with IBM and its software providers and that he did not look forward to a similar situation occurring in Barry County. The portion which Hoare objected to was Keeler's ensuing comment that "if BarryCounty chooses to computerize, and further selects IBM Corp, and Paul Bushes Roller rink, neighboring trailer vandalized Saturday afternoon Thornapple Roller Rink was vandalized Saturday afternoon, while a neighboring trailer was broken into with several items taken and the interior damaged.

January 26. 1984, Page 6 what’s cookin ’ nfiqued Aud’s Antics... by Elaine Gilbert Stoneware, crocks and jugs This Week Featuring... Collectors interest in American folk art has come to include the brightly decorated blue-on-gray stoneware vessels made primarily in the Nor­ theast during the second half of the 19th century. These simple utilitarian pieces, chiefly crocks and jugs, were often embellished with charmingly abstract representations of birds, flowers, animals and even buidlings and ships. However, the American tradition of stoneware-making is far broader than the reflected in these pieces. As early as the 1730's, stoneware was made in this country and its manufacture has continued to the present. Techniques of manufacture and of decoration vary greatly, and a familiarity with all is necessary for understanding this part of our ceramic heritage. Stoneware is a ceramic of great hardness, which is imprevious to water and is fired at a high temperature (12001300 degrees centigrade). Though it does not require glazing, stoneware's coarse gray to brown body was traditionally finished in one of several ways. Most common in the Northeast was the use of salt, which, when thrown into the kiln at the height of firing, would vaporize and cover al) exposed areas of the piece with a shiny, glass­ like glaze often called "orange peel", due to it’s pebbled surface. During the 18th and early 19th centuries, portions of the pot, such as the interior, which could not be reached by the salt, were coated with ochre, which left a brown stain. Only a few pieces, most notably those of Jonathon Fenton and Frederich Carpenter of Boston, have exteriors covered with ochre. The discovery in the Hudson River of a brown clay that fired to a shiny tan-tochocolate finish put an end to the use of ochre. Thereafter, "Albany slip," as it was known, was used to coat the insides of crocks and jugs as well as, in some cases, their outer surfaces. Since other deposits of this day was found in Michigan. Texas and California, much American stoneware of the 183-1900 period has the familiar brown Albanysllp finish. Another finish common from New England west to Texas during the period 1870-1930 was "Bristol slip," an opaque white glaze originally developed in England. Mass-produced whisky jugs, churns, crocks and cheese pots from the Mid and Southwest are most likely to have this finish. Another glaze called "tobacco spit,” was produced by mixing wood ashes with clay slip. This glaze appears as a streaked brown to yellow finish, often with touches of green. It is common on late 19th and early 20th century stoneware made in Georgia and the Carolinas. The great majority of American stoneware is undecorated; it relies solely on form and surface glaze for its aesthetic appeal. Decoration added to time and cost. The most common decoration element involved cobalt importer from Europe. Some stoneware collectors are drawn to early undecorated pieces because here, form was at its best. Examples from 1794-1796; and 1803-1810, are as fine as anything produced in Asia or Europe at the time. By 1820 more squat ovoids began to appear. From then on, crocks and jugs became more linear Lois Elliston When Lois Elliston hits the books’ at home, sire’s engrossed in keeping 15 checking accounts and a corresponding number of savings accounts. She also has a lot of bills to pay. That accounting work however doesn’t pertain to her personal finances. LoL is Nashville's village treasurer, a post she has held since 1978. Many folks, she says, aren’t aware of the fact tliat she does the treasurer’s work at home except for the times when she collects taxes. However, she’s in the village hall quite often, but during those times she’s performing a dif­ ferent function. That's when she's working part-time as a billing and collections clerk for the village's water and sewer departnt. Lois will be seeking her fourth term as treasurer this year. "I like meeting people and serving the village, and I likn working with figures," she says, adding that she finds the work challenging and a good learning experience. She first became involved in village politics after several people encouraged her to seek a trustee seat on the council in 1977. She won election to the position and served on the council for a year before running for the treasurer's office. “I became the treasurer at the beginning of the new sewer project, she says. Prior to holding elected office, she worked part-time for the village, doing general office work, during the winter of 1976. In addition to serving the village as an employee, Lois has contributed much time and energy as a community booster and volunteer. For instance, she has worked hard to help developa village park with a volunteer group known as the Maple Valley Recreational Development Corp (MVRDC). Lois currently serves Pj vice president of the MVRDC and was once its secretary and treasurer. The MVRDC has been responsible for developing a seven-acre recreational park along the banks of the Thornapple River, west of Nashville's Main St. business district. The park includes two basebill diamonds, picnic facilities and playground equipment. Future plans call for a boat launch and other improvements to be added, she said. Lois has been active with the MVRDC for many years, even before the property was purchased for the park. To help raise funds to develop the park, the MVRDC sponsorsan annual harvest festival and Lois has helped with those activ ities. She has served as chairman of the produce contest and has helped co-chair the ox roast. "I'm usually in charge of the concessions and lining up the carnival rides for the festival,” she said. Lois has been a resident of Nashville since 1949 when she moved to the community with her parents. Bom at home on a farm in Calhoun County near Augusta, Lois says she “moved around quite a bit as a child." She lived in Bellevue and Assyria Center for awhile and attended the former one-room Striker School and went to Hastings Junior High during the seventh and eighth grades when her family moved to the city. She graduated from Nashville High School. Shortly after graduation, she married Richard Elliston in October of 1954. Lois worked for Worgess Insurance in Battle Creek for about a year and a half. She spent the same amount of time in the office at E.W. Bliss in Hastings, but left that job when her first daughter was bom. The Ellistons children are Cheryl Hartwell of Vermontville. Cindy of Battle Creek, and Richard who goes to school in Fort Wayne, Ind. Spending time with her two grandsons — Chistopher Hartwell, 3*6, and Brent Hart­ well, 9-months old — is a cherished part of Lois’ week. She says bowling “is one thing I do for myself. Once it gets in your blood it’s hard to give it up." Lois bowls twice a week in two different leagues and is the second vice president of the Hastings Bowling Association. She says her goal is to get a 600 series. Sewing is another hobby she enjoys. She used to sew all her children’s clothes. Painting "cold" ceramics is a pastime too and one that has contributed to the decor of her home, including an attractive lamp in the living room. Lois says she and her husband enjoy camping in their trailer and like to spend time on a farm in Assyria and in the upper peninsula. Church also plays a meaningful rolg in her life. She currently serves op the pastor­ parish committee at the United Methodist Church in Nashville. In past years, she also served as chairman of the church’s ad­ ministrative board and was a Sunday School teacher. When her children were young, Lois was always a participant in their activities because she feels it’s important for parents .to take an active interest in their offspring. Consequently, serving as a Brownie and astings s avings & Qioan 136 E. State Street After a busy day, Lois Elliston is ready to pop a pizza casserole In the oven. "Anyone who likes pizza will like this recipe," she said. ’’It’s a quick dish that can be baked and then reheated in the microwave." Cadet leader were part of her activities with them. A former United Fund Drive volunteer, Lois spent 12 years helping that organization. She also is a former member of the Hastings Business and Professional Women. One of Lois' current hobbies is baking and decorating beautiful cakes. She has a real flair with frosting and has created everything from wedding cakes to birthday cakes. “I took my first (cake decorating) lesson in 1978 so I could make Cheryl’s wedding cake and Cindy’s graduation cake.” Both big events were in the same j ear. She has since taken an advanced decorating course. "It's very time consuming to decorate a wedding cake...It takes a couple hours just to make the flowers. Then you still have to frost it (the cake) and decorate it...A nd it lakes six to eight hours of baking to make a cake for 250- people.” Although Lois loves to bake, she says she doesn't like to cook. But she does have a recipe fora delicious pizza casserole that she doesn't mind preparing. It's a popular dish at ncr house and it's “nice for parties and luncheons," she said. "Anyone who likes pizza will like this...it's a favorite dish of my children." She said the recipe is her own version of a pizza casserole she read about in a magazine. “I added some things of my own to it. “It’s a quick dish that can be baked and then reheated in the microwave" if desired. "You can make it in the morning and pop it in the oven at dinner. Serve it with a salad and garlic bread and you’re all set," Lois said. Lois’ Pizza Casserole Ingredients: 1-lb. ground beef; 1-package sliced pepperoni; 2 eight-ounce cans pizza sauce; 1 four-ounce can mushrooms; 2Tablespoons oregano, crushed; 1-teaspoon garlic salt; 2-cups rotini, one-third cup milk; and 2-cups mozzarella cheese, shredded.

FmHA to resume loans The Farmers Home Ad­ ministration (FmHA) will resume making economic emergency loans by the beginning of 1984 said FmHa County Supervisor, David W. Steeby. “Economic emergency loans are designed for far­ mers who are in a cost-price, squeeze or face other financial difficulty beyond their control," Steeby said. “In other words, the loans are for a financial emergency rather than a natural disaster such as a drought or flood. The economic emergency of "EE" program was in operation from 1978 to 1981. The program expired in 1981 but was later reauthorized by Congress. It is being reopened under an order by the U.S. district court in Washington. D.C. “Under the program, loans will be available to farmers who are suffering an econmic emergency through no fault of their own. They must show that they have tried unsuccessfully to get a loan from another source before coming to FmHA and that they can repay the loan over a period of time, depending on the use of the funds. The funds can be used to finance 1984 crop production, to refinance delinquent farm and family operating debts and related uses," Steeby said. The interest rate for direct loans fluctuates with the cost of the government of borrowing money. Applications for econmic emergency loans will be available at the FmHA office located at 535 W Woodlawn Avenue. Hastings. Mi 49058 948-8036. until, by i860, they were generally straight-sided. The change inform was accompanied by a change in surface decoration. The earliest pieces were usually un­ decorated or were embellished by in­ cised floral or figtral motifs. Around Boston and New Jersey, a wood or melal stamp was used to impress a design such as flowers or fish. Sometimes these simple decorations wuuld be highlighted by touches of cobalt blue glaze. As early as 1780, painted designs in blue alone were used, but these were uncommon before 1800. As stoneware body form changed, the use of free-hand decoration in blue, increased. Designs were relatively simple and crude in concept, consisting mostly of single flowers (the so-called “tulip blown the wind" motif is one of the most common) or birds. By 1850, however, a more complex style emerged This was linear and calligraphic and reflected the influence on decorators o! the Spencerian script being taught in classrooms and business schools. From 1850 to 1900, calligraphic decoration was both bold and striking. Most typical were floral examples ranging from a single bud to a complete bouquet. The most impressive examples were those from the Norton Pottery at Bennington, Vermont. The best of these pieces are true folk art, but the knowledgable collector soon learns that the majority are stylized and mechanical in their composition. Floral crocks from various Eastern potteries may bear identical decoration and be distinguished only by the makers' marks that they bear. Of more interest, but less common, are pieces bearing figiral decoration. Most frequently seen are birds; and like the flowers, the most common forms may be hackneyed and repetitious. However, there are also more complex designs such as eagles, double birds and birds on stumps or set in foliage backgrounds. Even more interesting are compositions containing deer, dogs, cats and other animals. These, if not one-of-a-kind pieces, were certainly produced in limited numbers. Collectors of decorated stoneware soon learn that most pieces having the requisite embellishments are jugs, crocks, churns, and water coolers All had bodies shaped for easy decoration. Blue cobalt and brown manganese were the only coloring agent*, able to withstand the high temperatures of stoneware.firing. Many interesting pieces are un­ decorated and being sought by collectors. There are inKwells, bottles, colanders, pipes, soap dishes, cuspidors, batter-ji«s, banks, door­ stops and drinking flasks, just to name a few. Only about 10 percent of all stoneware items were impressed with the name of the maker. Consequently, the stoneware collector can become ar historian as well. Most of us, however, just enjoy using these old crocks and jugs to lend charm to our homes. These, coupled iwth old advertising crates, baskets of dried florals and cedar chips make wonderful visual effects in decorating. The possibilities are endless. Get the News!

P.O. Box B, Hastings, Ml. 49058 �The Hastings Banner — Thursday, January 26. 1984 — Page 7 Saxon cage team plays pair of weekend games Yogi Berra, the old New York Yankee catcher and a baseball Hall-of-Famer, used to have a favorite saying that became a famous sports slogan: "It ain't over till it's over." For the Hastings basketball team the season is far from over although the team's major goal of a Twin Valley title is looking Delton ups mark to 8 3 with 54-41 win over PawPaw Delton raised its record to 8-3 on Tuesday night with a 54-41 win over Paw Paw. Panther coach Paul Blacken said the game wasn't what could be termed an artistic success. Paw Paw tried to control the tempo by slowing the ball down on offense and playing a zone1 on defense "It was a boring game but we did what we had to do to win," said Blacken. “We played decently. We played good defense and we forced them to take the outside shot.” * The game was close for much of the first half with the Panthers leading only 24-21 at the break. Delton outscored the visitors 19-10 in the third period to lake charge of the game. Brett McBeth scored 17 points to lead Delton while Jay Henry added 15 points. Steve Tuin chipped in seven points but led the rebounders with 10. Jim Meade scored only three points but added six rebound! and six The two Hastings basketball managers, Jeff Baxter (left) and Dave Wren, watch the team warm up befoie a recent game. The two boys have several duties to perform for the Saxons. These boys manage other people’s business by Steve Vedder If you stacked the two boys on top of one another they still wouldn't be taller than the person they "work" for. But that isn't to say the jobs belonging to Dave Wren and Jeff Baxter aren’t tall ones. Dave and Jeff, the 12-year old managers of the Hastings basketbr.il team, are called on by Saxon coach Denny O’Mara for a number of important functions. During practices, for instance, the boys keep the floor swept and the basketballs--------. , The reri^qrk^hflweyerj cqmes on game Rights.,/fMigMihllities include filling the water bottles, creaking out the towels for showers, wheeling out the balls, collecting warmups and jerseys, ami fet­ ching ice if somebody gets hurt O'Mara says the boys, who were ball boys a year ago, have to be among the first to report for practice and among the last to leave. “There are certain things we ask of them and they do a pretty good job,” says O’Mara. Both boys say they take their respon­ sibilities seriously — that it isn't a time to be messing ground. Dave, who is in his third year of being connected with the basketball team, admits it isn’t all that hard to keep one's mind on his business. "I've been throqgh that all before,” says Dave in a serious lone. "It doesn’t bother me a lot, that's just the way things are. “It's fun, but sometimes it does get boring. Sometimes you want to be playing when they are but you know you can't. You'd get in trouble.” Dave says he doesn't even think about being bored with all the practices and games "I try to avoid that feeling," he says. “I like playing basketball; it's my favorite sport." Jeff, almost as serious as Dave, agrees that work comes before play. "I like it,” says Jeff. “It's kind of neat talking to the players and practicing with them. The best partis in practice when I get toshoottoo.I get to practice my skills a lot." Jeff, who admits his favorite*:'Sport is ■ soccer, and Dave will both try out for the seventh grade team next year. They play on the same team in the YMCA Saturday moming basketball program, and they think the exposure they've already had to basketball will greatly help their chances of making the team. “It helps a lot," says Dave. “Sometimes the players help me on the basics as much as they can.” Even though the boys spend as many as 1015 hours per week with the team, they still find time for other activities. Jeff practic< J the piano on Thursdays while Dave zips off to acrobatics on Mondays and bowling on Tuesdays. But what about school work? “We still have time to do our homework," • says Jeff. Nothing's perfect. blocked shots. Frank Quartz kept Paw Paw in the game with his 22 (joints. Delton hit 47 per cent (22 of 47) of its field goal attempts and was 10 of 16 from the free throw line. The Panthers schedule begins to get dif­ ficult with road game coming up at Mat­ tawan, Hastings and Galesburg Augusta. “It's the real bad part of our schedule," said Blacken. "It will tell us just how far we've come though." Junior high wrestlers down Pennf ield 63-24 The young Hastings junior high wrestling team defeated Pennfield 63-24 in a dual meet on Thursday night. Notching wins for Hastings were Tony Tuttle (98).

The Hastings jayvee basketball team avenged an earlier three-point loss to Sturgis by beating the Trojans 72-53 last Friday. Andy Jenkins and Tim Hubert each scored 18 points to lead the team while Steve McVey and Mike Karpinski added 13 and 11 points respectively. Hastings is now 6-3 overall and 3-2 in the league.

When Middleville's basketball team wins a game it usually receives a variety of help from several different players. And that was the case Tuesday night as the Trojans battered down Hudsonville 74-61. Thornapple Kellogg had four players In double figures led by Steve Miller's 22 points. Dave Perry added 21 markers, Craig Mathiesen 13 and Tim Heffner 13. Aside from the balanced scoring, Trojan coach Skip Pranger said his team just played a solid game. "We only had 10 turnovers and we played a much better mental game," said Pranger. “We played with intensity and concentration and made less mental mistakes.” Pranger also liked his team's defense which limited Hudsonville io just 37 per cent (24 of 64) from the field. "I think so," said Pranger when asked if the defense and the poor Hudsonville shooting were connected. "We mixed things up a little and played zone. Then we went to a 1-3-1 zone and pressured the ball." The Trojans hit 27 of 52 (52 per cent) from the field and 30 of 25 from the free throw line. Middleville jumped to a 16-13 first quarter lead but Hudsonville tied the game 31-31 at the half. The Trojans took the game in hand in the third period by outscoring Hudsonville 20-12. Middleville is now 6-4 overall and 4-3 in the O-K Blue. The annual Hastings Junior High In­ vitational will be held Jan. 28 at 10 a.m. at the junior high. The eight-team tournament features Gull Lake. Harper Creek, Lowell, Middleville, Mason, Jackson Northwest, Waverly and Hastings. Matches will consist of three minute periods with overtime sessions consisting of three 45-second periods. All of the weight brackets will be set by a predetermined formula. At the coaches meeting before the tournament each school will draw a letter which will place the competing schools in brackets. Medals will be awarded for first, second, and third places as well as team champion and runnerup trophies. Prices for the all day tournament are $2 for adults, $1 for students and $5 for a family. Saxon jayvee team beats Sturgis 72-53 Hastings, 48 we can. "We're just going to out and play and whatever happens with Sturgis happens." O'Mara said back to back Friday and Saturday games don't present any special problem for high school teams ..provided it only happens a couple of times in a season. "It's not that hard.” he said. "Saturday might present a problem because the players have too much idle time on their hands The players will have to combat that." Due to a quirk in the Twin Valley schedule, Hastings (7-2 overall, 3-2) hasn't played Harper Creek (1-3,3-8) o’ Marshall (2-4. 3-7) as yet even though the Saxons are already done with Sturgis this season.

The Saxons' 61-44 loss to Sturgis last week was loss No. 2 in the league and. realistically, it doubtful if the impressive Trojans will lose to anyone in the Twin Valley — let alone two games. Hustings coach Denny O'Mara said he isn't about to change any preparation tatics for this weekend s games at Harper Creek on Friday or at home against Marshall on Saturday. “We won’t approach things any dif­ ferently," said O'Mara. “It's going to be difficult to win our league, although anything can happen.

Page 8 On the winter press tour circuit Sparky and the gang to win first pennant since 1968? by Steve Vedder Last year's Detroit Tiger team — in the running for a pennant until the final days of the season — was compared by many ex­ perts to the 1967 Tiger team, which lost the — NOTICE — OF LAST DAY OF REGISTRATION SCHOOL ELECTION Notice of the Last Day of Registration of the Qualified Electors of Hastings Area School District STATE OF MICHIGAN TO THE QUALIFIED ELECTORS OF SAID SCHOOL DISTRICT: The election is being held to vote on the following: PROPOSITION I General Operating Millage Proposition Shell the limitation on the ictal amount of taxa* which may be c>»essed oaainst all taxable property in the Writing* Area School District, Countie* ot oarry and Calhoun.

There is one significant difference, nowever. between the two Bengal teams: the 1968 version went on to capture the city’s first World Series since 1945 a year later while the 1984 team stands only as a leading pennant candidate. That difference is hardly lost on the Tiger organization, many members of which are currently touring the state in the annual winter press tour. The tour made a stop at the Midway Motor Lodge in Lansing on Tuesday where manager Sparky Anderson, star pitchers Jack Morris and Dan Petry, centerfielder Chet Lemon as well as several members of the front office including President Jim Campbell, General Manager-Vice President Bill Lajoie and owner Thomas Monaghan all met with* members of the area media. Sparky Anderson, always the foremost attraction amongst the media at such events, was his usual optimistic self as he considered the championship possibilities for his 1984 team. "This is an established ballclub now," said Sparky sipping a drink. "The catcher and second baseman are both rated No. 1 in the majors at their positions, we have maybe the top one-two punch in the league on the mound, the shortstop ranks in the top three in baseball, and the outfield is solid." For once, the talkative Tiger manager may not be blowing steam. The Tigers, in­ deed, have the best catcher in baseball in Lance Parrish. The giant all-star receiver.

How much does it take to get an IRA off the ground? who also won a Gold Glove, crashed 27 homers and drove in 114 runs while batting a solid .269 a year ago. Mix Parrish with second baseman Lou Whitaker and shortstop Allan Trammell — two more Gold Glove winners — with Lemon in center, and the Tigers have the best upthe-middle defense in the game. None of the trio lacks any offensive abilities either. Whitaker, voted 1983 Tiger of the Year, ranked third in the American League batting race with a .320 average while Trammell was one notch behind at .319. Whitaker scored 94 runs and drove in an incredible 72 runs from the leadoff spot Trammell bolstered his .319 average with a career-high 14 homers, 83 runs scored, 66 rbis and 30 stolen bases. Lemon also smashed a career-high 24 home runs and added 69 rbis. The list of quality players doesn't stop with that trio, however Larry Herndon, a .302 hitter with 20 homers and 92 rbis. will start in left field. The Tigers also signed former San Francisco Giant free agent first baseman Darrell Evans to a three-year contract. Anderson, long an Evans backer from National League days, pencils the veteran infielder in for a (0-homer, 80-plus rbi season. Anderson said right field is up for grabs with holdovers Kirk Gibson and Glenn Wilson, disappointments in 1983, the leading candidates. “I have three options out there," said Anderson of the right field situation. "I can play Gibson, 1 can play Wilson or J can platoon. Right now it’s wide open." Another position that’s wide open is third base. Incumbent Tom Brooke ns would have to improve on his .214 average to keep the position and right now Anderson is looking at him as the team's top utility man. Howard Johnson, still a hot prospect, rookie Barbaro Garvay, Marty Castillo and possibly Wilson are the candidates at third. As for pitching, Anderson doesn't kid himself. When asked if the pitching is good enough to win a pennant, Anderson hedges. "Noton face value," he said. "But with the offense and defense we have behind it..well, that certainly helps." Heading the meund staff is another allstar, Jack Morris. Morris compiled a 20-13 record and lead the league in strikeouts (232) and innings pitched (293) and finished third VETERINARIANS Welcome Wagon offers discreet advertising to professionals in the medical, dental, health-care, legal and animal-care fields.

Petry was 19-11 and led the league with 38 starts, one more than Morris. Anderson said defending World Champion Baltimore, along with the Yankees, as usual, will be thorns in the Tigers' side all year. But a relatively new team might wind up causing the most pain, said Anderson. “Toronto is my team this year I really like them," said Sparky "They’ve helped themselves this winter. "I like (manager) Bobby Cox and they have a first baseman named (Willie) Up­ shaw and a center fielder named (Lloyd) Moseby who are going to be good. General Manager Bill Lajoie agrees with Anderson that the Tigers have enough talent to win their first flag since 1968. “I think we have the best team in baseball right now," he said. "We have all-stars at several positions. Lemon has been an allstar, Herndon has had two good years here, and we have the best one-two pitchers in baseball in Petry and Morris.” All that remains now is to do it on the field.

Denny O'Mara remembers his disasterous varsity coaching debut back in December of 1981 all too clearly. His Hasting team was playing at Caledonia and by the time the whipping was over, the Saxons felt like the Seventh Cavalry at the Little Big Horn. The Fighting Scots inflicted one of the worst beatings O'Mara can recall one of his teams tver suffering — before or since. "It was just one of those cases where you thought things were squared away but weren’t," O'Mara recalls, leaning back in a chair in the job club room where he presently teaches. To his credit, O'Mara is the kind of coach who learns from such disasters. His philosophy of coaching is one of adapting a workable system to fit the talents of his players. It isn’t forcing them to adapt to his system. When O'Mara speaks of the Hastings team the words he chooses are “we" and "us" and "our.” It isn’t his team, his wins, or his record. The infamous “my way or the high­ way" philosophy of coaching seems quite foreign to O'Mara. On the bench during a game O'Mara rarely berates one of his players. Referees are never "worked" as many basketball coaches attempt to do. It's largely because of O'Mara's hand that Hastings is considered a wellmannered. disciplined team that talent­ wise belongs in the top two or three in the league. "Our No. 1 concern is playing the best we can," offers O'Mara, who played basketball himself at Lakewood and at Olivet College “We try to get through to the kids that they shouid represent the school the best they can. 1 guess I have that same responsibility." As for the rapport between coach p«id players. O'Mara says he learned a valuable coaching lesson early in his career. "One of the things I learned right away was that ranting and raving didn't accomplish anything. You have to gel certain things across to your players and you can't do it that way," says O'Mara, who admits he has never considered himself a great tactician. "Coaches lose games, they don't win them," he says. The third-year varsity mentor says that during his college days he was a role player — the type of player who has limitations and who has to play within those boundaries. And therein lies O'Mara's real philosophy of coaching: getting the most out of each player while at the same time im­ proving. “You take what the players can do physically and fit that in with what they can do on the court." says O'Mara. "1 just find it works for me. You want to get the most out of a player’s skills.” That philosophy is put to the test because of the unique situation of having a player like Mark Brown around. When one player regularly fires in 37 points a game while grabbing much of the spotlight, the other players quite naturally wonder where they fit into the picture. How does O'Mara handle the situation? “People knowing their roles helps," he says. "And Mark helps. He's a good passer and we depend on him to do many things. "Sometimes it's tough for the other kids to take a back seat, but I think they deal with it well. “It’s a problem many coaches would like to have, I know.” he adds with a laugh." Perhaps surprisingly, O'Mara isn't one of those coaches who'll be pacing the sidelines until his hair turns gray. He realizes coaching isn't the only thing life offers. “I talk about basketball a lot and many of my friends are coaches, ex­ coaches or players,” explains O'Mara. "But there are other things I like. "I’m coaching right now so that's what I do the most, but no. it isn't the only thing in my life. "It takes a special person to coach for 20 years. I remember Jock Clarey saying he spent more time with other people's kids than his own. It's a lot of work even though it's work you enjoy." For the record. Hastings played Caledonia a second time later in O'Mara's first varsity season. Hastings won that game. Somehow that doesn't seem sur­ prising. �The Hastings Banner— Thursday. January 26 1984.

"Eleven were in the States and there were ones in England. France, Israel, and Australia, plus liscenses in South Africa. Canada, and Japan." He was transferred to the Hastings plant in August 1965.

"It's purpose in phase one" he noted, "was to supply parts to Hastings because of the large demand for them at that time. "We moved to Athelone, Ireland in October 1976 and construction had just started on the plant." Bottcher remembered. "It was a green field and the footings had just been put in."

Wales, England. France, Germany, and Italy. “I got to see Europe," he noted. An unfortunate footnote to the project was the oil em­ bargo by OPEC nations during the mid-70s. followed by rapidly increasing oil prices, which hurt western economies as a whole and companies like E.W. Bliss specifically. "The need for parts, the reason why the plant was built, dwindled." Bottcher explained. “We were one of the many, many side effects of that embargo and the resulting recession." Gulf + Western, he noted, later sold the plant. In August 1979, with the Ireland project completed, the Bolte hers returned to Hastings and have remained here since. Since 1968. Bottcher noted that G + W reassigned some of E.W Bliss’ original 15 plants to other corporate companies and sold the balance. Only the Hastings and Salem. Ohio, plants remained under the E.W. Bliss logo at the time it was sold in November, the second transaction during Bottcher's tenure. With that sale, coupled a forseeable end to the recession which cut Hastings' workforce to around 200 employees. Bottcher sees a bright tuture again for the company. “The new management is very aggressive and has a personal interest where G + W's interest was second or third hand,” he said. Business is improving and I'm very optimistic. E.W. Bliss has a good future. "I’ve enjoyed the years with Bliss," he added. •'They’ve been very rewarding. The people in the plant have always been co­ operative and their ex­ perience is the basic asset to the company." Bottcher said he and his wife plan to stay in the area. "We enjoy Hastings and have made many fine friends." he said. He added that they do plan to travel some during the winter months to Florida or out West Along with his respon­ sibilities at E.W. Bliss, Bottcher serves on the Hastings Community Fund and is a trustee of Pennock Hospital. He is also a member of the local Elks Club and Moose Lodge.

Gerald Luedecking of the Barry County Sheriff Dept, looks over a pin map which locates drunk driving arrests made by his department last year. Law enforcement agencies from around the county will be acting together in the coming months to curb drinking by minors. Delton looks at energy cost savings “We urge you and your employees to make greater efforts that check into identification of our young people that attempt to purchase alcoholic beverages at your business. Only through a cooperative effort will wt be successful in attacking this persistent problem.” Other proposed action includes an un­ dercover investigation into sale of alcohol to minors, tougher sentencing for alcohol of­ fenders, and greater community awareness Hastings By Elaine Gilbert The Delton-Kellogg Board of Education is considering a proposal to spend $377,046 on building improvements to conserve energy usage and ultimately save the school district a significant amount of money in future years. At a special meeting Monday, the board heard energy conservation recom­ mendations for the district's three buildings from Donald Dokter and Jack Kerns of the Grand Rapids architectural firm of Daverman and Associates. The board gave the green light to the administration to secure financing in­ formation and work with Daverman to prepare specifications for the $377,046 project and present the information back to the board as soon as possible. If the board gives its final approval, bidding on the project would probably begin by the middle of March or the first of April. Most of the energy conservation im­ provements would be made in the elemen­ tary and middle school buildings which are older than the high school. However, some alterations to reduce energy usage in the high school are part of the plan. The major recommendations by Daver­ man include replacing window areas with insulated panels (for example, the large window areas around the courtyard in the middle school); removing skylights and replacing them with insulation; installing weather stripping; replacing incandescent lights with fluorescent; installing capacitors where appropriate; installing automatic controls on the hot water systems; replacing old control units on air circulators with more efficient controls; and replacing the steam heating systems in the lower and upper elementary building with a hot water heating system. The steam heating system in the elementary was installed in 1936and the coils are in need of replacement, said Dr. John Sanders, Delton’s superintendent. He added that a hot water system is considerably cheaper to maintain and the controls are less costly to replace. Sanders also noted that there is currently a considerable amount of energy loss through the single pane windows in the schools. Consumers Power Co. officials have told the district that energy costs are projected to increase by 13 percent per year. The entire project will "prove to be a large savings” to the district, he said. By making the improvements, the board would be making a long-term investment and realizing the payback down the road, San­ ders added. The energy conservation project would be financed over a 10-year period and "this $377,046 expenditure will save $200,000 in energy costs over a 10-year span.” In 20 years, savings to the school district should be more than $2 million, said Sanders According to projections, based on in­ formation from Consumers Power and Daverman, the district should realize "a natural cash savings in the fourth year...by the fourth year we will be realizing actual positive dollars, he said. “Any shortfall that we might have between the cost of the loan and the savings in energy will be made up from our building and site fund, the 1972 bond issue," he said. The board does not intend to use its operational funding for the project. Sanders said school staff and students have been implementing an energy con­ servation program for the last four-years by Contined on page 12 of the teen drinking problem. At a press conference called Tuesday, Barry County Prosecutor Judy Hughes cited statistics and several topics of concern related to youth and alcohol: — Over one-half of all Barry County You must be at least 21 - AND BE ABLE TO PROVE m arrests for open intoxicants in a vehicle are minors. Continued on page 12 Banner Devoted to the Interests of Barry County Since 1856 Volume 129, No. 5 — Fifteen percent of all drunk driving arrests run on breathalyzer* are on minors. — Flagrant violations of liquor laws in public — Flagrant misuse of the downtown area of Hastings and at certain boat landing in­ volving alcoholic beverages. — Sale of alcohol to minors by some licensed liquor establishments. — Of the ten persons killed in auto ac­ cidents in Barry County in 1983, seven died as a result of the use of alcohol. "The various agents of the law en­ forcement agencies of Barry County have discussed the scope of the problem of youth and alcohol in Barry County, talked over different known approaches, and agreed on a unified law enforcement approach for Barry County." said Hughes. The approach, she said, involves both a "crime prevention", and a "law en­ forcement" approach. The prevention phase of the program in­ cludes letters and visits to bars and liquor dealers, and a possible future undercover investigation concerning the sale of alcohol to minors. "Any liquor sales to minors will be prosecuted to the fullest extent and also Hostings, Michigan '“I -- Price 20‘ Thursday February 2, 1984 . . County, Bell Telephone named in lawsuit by Ken Reibel The Barry County Road Commission, and Bell Telephone have been named in a negligent injury suit arising from a Oct. 10, 1981 car mishap which claimed the lives of tv ? State Technical Institute students, and injured four others. Also named as defendants in the suit are Willie James Thomas, of Detroit, who was the driver of the fatal vehicle, and a Prairieville Township liquor establishment. The suit is brought by two of the four persons injured in the wreck, and by the estates of the two dead men. Originally filed in Kent County 17th Judicial Court, the case was moved to Barry County recently at the request of the defendants. The suit claims that Bell Telephone was wrong in placing a telephone pole too close to a curve on Pine Lake Rd., and that the road commissionwas negligent in its design of the road. "Michigan Bell was negligent in locating its telephone pole unreasonably close to the paved surface of Pine Lake Rd., and in locating it on the outside curve where it is foreseeable that traffic attempting to regain control after leaving the road surface would be travelling," alleges the suit. The pole has since been moved. The suit also claims that the road com­ mission "had a duty to design, maintain, and post signs on Pine Lake Rd. so that it would be reasonably safe and convenient for all motorists travelling on this road." The suit alleges that the county "breached its duty," and that the road lacked signs, and was improperly banked, designed and maintained "resulting in a curve that could not be negotiated at foreseeable speeds." Ron Lear, Barry County Road Commission engineer-manager, says the commission has made no changes in the road since the mishap. According to Barry County Sheriff Dept, reports, Thomas' vehicle left the paved surface of Pine Lake Rd., and travelled 40 feeton theshoulder. "It was at this point and time when the first harmful event occurred, off the roadway and onto the shoulder, where the vehicle first struck a glancing blow at a utility pole," states the report The twodoor, 1973 Oldsmobile then left the shoulder and travelled 50 feet, inpacting with two trees. Killed were Dennis L. Larry, 26, Detroit, and James Polinari, Jr., 28, Detroit. Also injured in the same car were Reginald Scott Peterson, of Menominee, Willie James Foxworth, Flint, and Michael McMillan of Saginaw. Foxworth and McMillan are named as two of the plaintiffs, claiming "serious and permanent injuries." Foxworth lost his right arm, and McMillan reportedly suffered fractured neck vertebrae. Also named as defendants in the suit are Irwin Waters, owner of the Oakwood Resort. According to the suit, Thomas, a minor, purchased and consumed alcoholic beverages at the establishment, and was intoxicated just prior to the accident The suit cited Thomas for "failure to operate his vehicle at a careful and reasonable speed.” Bell, The Oakwood Resort, Thomas and the Barry County Road Commission have denied all the allegations made in the suit Over 31,000 meals served to senior citizens A total of 31,048 meals were served to Barry County senior citizens through a nutrition program during the fiscal year of Oct. 1. 1982 to Sept. 30. 1983. The number of meals served in that year include both congregate and home-delivered meals, said Eloise Wolf, executive director of the Barry County Commission on Aging. In the entire state of Michigan, more than 150,000 older persons were served 8.8 million meals during the fiscal year according to a report recently released by the State Office of Services to the Aging. State Office Director Olivia P. Maynard says the state figure represents a 12.7 per­ cent increase in congregate and home delivered meals served under the Com­ munity Nutrition Services Program over the previous year. The Southcentral Michigan Commission on Aging which includes Barry County and Branch, Calhoun, Kalamazoo, and St. Joseph counties had a 6.1 percent increase in the number of meals served at nutrition sites and a 13.4 percent increase in homedelivered meals and a 18.6 percent increase in people who were served home-delivered meals. "Throughout the year, we encouraged agencies to identify and serve isolated and poor older people, those feeling the stress of escalating health, housing and utility costs. The end result." says Maynard, "was the number of participants in the meals program increased by 7.9 percent statewide.” Maynard explains that the majority of the meals served in the nutrition program are provided in 668 meal sites located throughout the state. Many sites are open five days a week. t\ limited number of meals are also delivered to homebound seniors. "The congregate portion of the program around the stale experienced a 7.7 percent increase in meals, with the number of par­ ticipants increasing by 5.5 percenL For the home-delivered portion of the program, there was a 23.6 percent increase in meals provided and a 27.1 percent increase in senior citizens receiving the service,” she says. Maynard notes, "In Detroit alone, there are 2,000 people on a waiting list for homedelivered meals. I take this fact and the growth in the program as evidence that many senior citizens can’t afford food. Clearly, the nutrition program is needed." The report also stated the program reached more minority persons and economicaliv disadvantaged older people than ever before. The Community Nutrition Services Program is administered by the Office of Services to the Aging through the state’s 14 Area Agencies on Aging. It was supported by a $',422,700 federal appropriation and sup­ plemented by $2,941,300 in state funds for the 1983 fiscal year. Eileen Sullivan (left). Alice Dodge and Arbutus Morgan are among the Barry County seniors who enjoy meals at the Hostings nutrition site five days a week. A total of 31,048 rreals were served to senior citizens in Barry County through the nutrition program during the fiscal year of Oct. 1, 1982 to Sept. 30. 1983. �The Hasting Banner— Thursday. February 2, 1984, Page 2 OftuuM. St. Rose observes Catholic Schoo! Week TEEN DRINKING: How much of a problem? Prosecutor Judy Hughes and local law enforcement agencies said they will crack down on teen drinking by initiating a three-part program — better prevention of sales to minors, education of young people, teachers and parents, and greater penalties for violators. This is a commendable effort. Certainly teen drinking should be discouraged, especially in relation to motor vehicles. Hughes said that over one-half of all Barry County arrests for open intoxicants in a vehicle are minors and 15 percent of all arrests for operating a vehicle under the influence of liquor (OUIL) that are run on breathalvrers are minors. The offu said that they will have placards placed in all establishments selling alcohoi and will make personal visits to the 126 dealers to educate them on the iaw and ways to better identify minors. They even plan undercover in­ vestigations to find stores that ere violating the law. These are good ideas. We have questions, though. Did the prosecutor and police do enough homework on the subject? Why was this problem chosen for special attention over other problems? What makes these violations worse than other law enforcement problems such as larcenies, non-payment of child support or sexual misconduct? In announcing the new j rogram. Hughes gave no statistics on the extent of local purchases in liquor stores and at bars by minors. No comparisons of arrests for teen drinking were made with other communities in the state or with the state average. Comparison figures were not even available in the files of the officials. Beyond that, the officials could cite no facts about the extent of alcohol use in schools. Their judgment of the problem is admittedly based on rumors. While law enforcement officials will go out to meet with students, teachers and principals, no consistent program of education has been outlined. No program has been proposed to reach youths that have quit school or graduated. And, no clear idea exists about Roller skating and hat day were just two of the numerous highlights at St. Rose School during Catholic Schools Week this week. St. Rose Principal Stephen Youngs said the week was a time for his office to scrutinize the school's curriculum. He said the school’s social studies program was adopted by Central School and tie new English series incorporates the best of the "back to basics" movement. In addition, said Youngs, the school offers vocal music at ail grade levels as well as physical education. The school has current events newspaper, “The Weekly Reader," and fifth and sixth graders recieve en­ vironmental education. Youngs said the school library is as fine a library in any elementary school and St. Rose also provides each classroom with weekly computer experience. “More important, however, is our attempt to keep our school a functioning Christian community,” said Youngs. ‘‘We are prayerful and we attempt to solve problems that occur with those Christian values we teach in our religion classes." Youngs said extra fun was enjoyed by students this weel^with Hat Day on Monday, Gum Day on Tuesday, Pin-Button Day on Wednesday, and roller skating at the Thornapple Roller Rink on Thursday. On Friday grades four through six will go skating and Friday will also be Feast of the St. Blaise Day. how to place more responsibility on parents. We favor and are willing to help publicize programs that will attack teen drinking. We're willing to share the work of educating the public and especially of reaching out to parents. In fact, we've always been available to publicize crimes and crime prevention information and will continue with that policy. Alcohol abuse, in particular, is a problem in our society that often leads to crimes. An effort to educate youths and adults is needed and laudable. What the people want, however, is solid information and facts. How many households are affected by teen alcohol abuse? Does the problem run rampant through all income groups, or are some teens more affected than others? Are the 126 liquor dealers all selling regularly to minors or are some dealers known among the youths as easy targets? How many arrests are made for sales to minors? How many minors are arrested for purchases or possession? How can the people be made aware of a problem if they can’t know the extent of it? If we have a school education program, who will be in charge? Will the focus be on what the laws and penalties are, or will alcohol abuse in general be discussed? How will we reach the parents who allow their children to drink at home or take beer from the refrigerator on Saturday night? What about the non-drinking students? Will the program make an effort to elevate those who don’t drink? Once again, we think a program to fight teen drinking could be a good idea and we are likely to support it. We just think that the prosecutor and law enforcement officials jumped the gun in making their announcement. Without the facts to guide us, how can we make a sound judgment? necessary for that task. South Central poses a real threat in becoming a fourth level of government, over which the people have no control - a bureaucracy that will in the end dictate, and we will serve and support. No Thanks. Respectfully, Jack Love, Otis Hermenitt, and Ed Daniels. Duly elected former commissioners. LETTERS to the Editor: Longer school year opposed Kiel’s interview commented on To the Editor: We read with interest the intetview with County Commission Chairman Paul Kiel. Paul is to be commended for his interest in promoting the tourists in Barry County. This is something that can be a great help to the people. However, it is so like Paul to be political. We are referring to his remarks regarding the committees of the previous board. It would never be known if we did not make it known here, - that the six member majority of the old board would NOT work with any committee chaired by any of the five member minority. They gave no input. It was nice of Paul to admit to this "gobbly gook." Prior to public board meetings those majority memebers said nothing, preferring to speak public ly for political reason rather than promote harmony and complete the needs of Barry County. As for the South Central Planning Com­ mission, true, they are used by the state to channel funds, but, they are not absoutely To the Editor: I would like to express my opinion on the subject of "lengthening the schol day". "Give my child back!" I don't want someone else teaching my child everything he or she learns. I don’t see making what should be extra curricuiars or teaching a child right from wrong made part of the school day. I chose tobe a mother, now I want my child to be a mother, too. Give my child back before family life is but a memory! To parent my child I need time. There is a lot more to my child than the areas school caters to. Children have special talents and they need time and inner initiative to develop them. Most great achievers had talent that a primary relationship in their life encouraged and provided nourishment to. That “primary relationship” was not a school. One more thing - remember my child is a “child", give him or her time to be one. Some good healthy play, projects, hobbies and fun make for a healthy adult and good memories.

David William Stonehouse, Main St., Nashville, also received l>a to 5 years in prison for probation violation. In sentencing Stonehouse. Barry County Circuit Court Judge Hudson E. Deming credited Storehouse with 195 days already spent in custody for the probation violation, and 47 days for the time served on the sex offense. Court records reveal that it is Stonenouses second sex-related offense. In other court proceedings: Joel Fulford, 19. Hastings, was sentenced to 11 months in the Barry County Jail for probation violation. It is alleged Fulford violated the rules of the Alternative Directions program "half­ way house" in Grand Rapids. St. Rose teacher Mary Willison, as well as students Scott Vann and Carrie Jacobs, enjoy Hat Day at St. Ruse School. Hot Day was just one of many such days this week at the Catholic school. At whose doorstep does the fault lie Who’s to blame for big government? by Steve Horton agency, a commission on aging, and so on because our frontier has all but vanished? How does big government happen? Is big government merely a response to the requirements and wishes of its citizenry? Is it citizens who, nationally or locally, needing specific services, prompt their government to form agencies to meet those needs? Do citizens continue to want those services — nay, in fact come todemand them — thus allowing those agencies to mature into a permanent part of the governmental apparatus? Is this how we get the layered effect, one agency on top of another, each one mingling with the other, a bit like a tangled ball of twine? Is it because big government perpetuates the process of big government? Has for instance the federal government — which made a tremendous growth in size during the "Great Depression” and World War II — made itself bigger by causing growth at the state and local levels? Do the feds, when they pass a program and fund it and then mandate that the state andor local agencies run it, cause those smaller entities to also grow? Then, as the state and local bodies become bigger, do the feds decide to add additional budget and man­ power to handle the growing lower levels? Or is the reverse true? Die. the one-room schoolhouses, as they consolidated into community districts, cause the Dept, of Education to become larger? Was it the pothole that created the Road Commission who in turn, needing someone to maintain the fixed hole, created the DPW? Is big government even a result of cause and effect? Is it perhaps like an expanding universe, created by a “big bang" and now spreading out into infinity? Is big government merely the evolution of things? Is it bigger because we've become over the decades more centralized, urban and suburbanized, mechanized, populationized —all in all more dependent on outside forces to provide us with food, shelter, clothing, other necessities, and other items less necessary but still desired? Is big govern­ ment the result of that, the glue that's kept the various pieces together, the hub of our social wheel? Did we need less government in the old days because back then 80 acres could sustain us or give us the barter goods to buy other items; because we used to butcher our own hogs, pluck our own chickens, spin our own yarn, trade our mercantile stock for a bushel of apples or exchange a subscription to The Banner for a supply of lard and flour; because, if a guy couldn't make il or wasn't satisfied with his lot m colonial New York, he could move to the wilderness in Michigan and later on, if his son or daughter wanted to split from home, they could head further west to pan for gold in California or homestead in Kansas? Does the federal government spend hundreds of billions of dollars because we've become less self-sufficient as individuals and as communities? Does Barry County have an equalization department, a Friend of the Court, a mental health service, a parks and recreation commission, assorted courts, a civil defense Is it a plot? Do shifty-eyed bureaucrats, aided by overindulged and underworked officials, elected and appointed, conspire ways to milk us of our hard-earned life savings, to give away those monies to everyone but us, and then to befuddle and exasperate us with volumes of red tape when when we ask them on occasion for a small favor? Is it a sign of their depravity when they scream “doom and disaster" at the mere mention of budget trim, tax cut or elimination of agency? Is it part of our competitive nature? Is "Big" Government like our other national institutions — the “World" Series, the "Super" Bowl, and the “Greatest" Show on Earth? Do we have big government because deep down we want to top what went before us? Does Reagan secretly wish to preside over a bigger executive branch than his predecessor, all statements to the contrary? Would Mondale, if nominated and elected, really want to have a smaller deficit than the Republicans? Does the U.S. Congress and the Michigan legislature actually start a new session with an express mandate to pass more un­ necessary legislation, block more vital legislation, appropriate more money it doesn't have, and raise taxes higher than the previous year’s session did? Are all the mutterings about inflated government and bloated bureaucracy just a smokescreen? Are we in fact like the parent who.scoffs about his or her child's latest accomplishment, but inside is actually bursting with pride? Are we really com­ plaining about big government to keep it from getting a big head? Is someone to blame for it? Is it caused by the Democrats spending too much money on minoriles. ADC mothers, union pals, employees in the social service departments, cities, and underdeveloped countries with socialist leaders? Or is the blame that of the Republicans for spending too much money on Pentagon projects, bail outs of Fortune 500 cor­ porations, subsidies for the rich, and arming rightwing dictatorships?

Jaff Newman Dave McIntyre Doris Strouse Woneto Myers Andrew McKeown II Todd McDonald Evelyn Brower • QUESTION • Jacqueline Storrs Hastings A plea of not guilty was entered for Billy LeeChamberh.n, 18, Hastings, for probation violation. A hearing was set for Chamberlain for Feb. 6 at 1 30 p.m. Storrs open house Feb. 3 at city hall Jacqueline Storrs, known as "Jackie" to her many friends, is retiring Feb. 3. An open house is planned in her honor on that date, to be helu in council chambers at Hastings City Hall. Storrs has spent nearly 14 years as clerk of the water department for the City of Hastings. The open house will take place from 1 to 4.30 p.m. Storrs is a lifetime Hastings resident — "I've always lived within a block of Broadway. I'm a true Hastonian." she said. She currently lives on S. Broadway. She has three sons: David. Coldwater, Dennis of Hastings, and Douglas of Grand Rapids, and two grandsons. Jeffrey and Steven. The British Medical Association recently recommended the abolition of boxing in Great Britain, citing brain damage and death as being among the sport's con­ sequences. The ring has its detractors in the U.S. as well, including sportcaster Howard Cosell, who calls boxing "An alleged sport.” Should boxing be outlawed in the United States? Dave McIntyre. Hastings: "I have mixed emotions about outlawing any pro sport. There must be a lot of study before you reach that decision...! don't care for boxing. Il’s a violent sport — so is hockey." Steve Steward, Hastings: "It's a hard sport to regulate. The only way to eliminate the problem is to eliminate the sport, and that's pretty difficult to do because of the dollars involved behind it." Jeff Newman. Delton: “I don't much for boxing. 1 don't watch it. It probably would be a good idea to do away w ith it. or put more restrictions on il." Jeff said he didn't like it when a Korean boxer died after a fight last year. Todd McDonald. Kalamazoo: "I '.ike boxing. I think it's a thrilling sport, and the risk that the boxers take adds to the thrill Any sport involves risk. What are we going to do, outlaw football? Basketball? Besides, nobody gets breed into the ring.” Doris Strouse, Hastings: "No, I would rather watch boxing more than I would football.” Andrew McKeown II. Hastings: "Yes, I think it should be banned." There is a ten­ dency for more and more violence to occur when people see violent behavior, he said. “I think there should be constructive conflict rather than destructive. It can be life­ threatening in the boxing ring and that's uncalled for.” Evelyn Brower. Hastings: "No, not eliminated but I think the medical end should be improved...physicals should be required before a fight and the physical condition of boxers should be watched more closely during a fight. "There have been some horrible accidents (in the ring > and I think the rules should be more stringent." Wanela Myers. Middleville: "No, I like to watch boxing and wrestling...They (boxers and wrestlers) know when they go into the ring that they are liable to gel hurt.’’ �Tho Hastings Banner— Thursday. February 2. 1984. Page 3 'Battle of the Books’ in progress After school had been dismissed on Tuesday, students were still reading books in the library at Central Elementary School in Hastings. The after-hours bookworms were par­ ticipating in a ‘Battle of the Books" reading competition at the school and Tuesday was designated as a "Read In." The “Battle of the Books" program started last November and the grand finale is slated for March and April when teams of fourth, filth and sixth grade students will compete in challenge matdies to answer questions about the books they’ve read. The challenge matches will yield a “championship team" and will be similar to the televised Quiz Bowl. Each team will consist of a student from each of the three grades. Participants in the competition have been reading from a selected book list of 50 wellknown books of varied interests and reading levels. As soon as a student finishes reading one of the books, he or she writes three good questions about the story along with the answers. Completing a book also entitles a student to write his or her name on the large shields in the check-out room. Many games, puzzles and activity sheets have been devised for the students to help them review the contents of the books in a fun-filled way. Book discussions also are held periodically Already two such sessions were held to discuss “The Great Brain," "Call It Courage." "Charlotte’s Web," "Trumpet of the Swan.” Alexander and the Terrible, Horrible, No Good Very Bad Day,” and "Mrs. Frisby and the Rats of NIMH.” "A Character Diess Up Party" is planned for the students on Feb. 28. Awards such as certificates, buttons, pencils, and bookmarks will be presented to those students who have read a designated number of books. At Tuesday’s “read in" the following students received awards for reading five or more books to date: Fourth Graders — Kim Langford, Katie DeMond, Derek Becker. Heather Jacobs, Tonya Pranshka, Beth Fullerton, and Danny Watson. Fifth Graders — Katy Wilcox, Tom Wiswell, Emily Allyn, Chris Richardson, Cindy Purgiel, Jenny Robleski, Jenna Merritt, Amy Seeber, Carrie McCandlish, and Jeff Davis. Sixth Graders — Michaeleen Snyder, Tia DeGoa, Bevin Dunn, Christina Morrison, Melissa Coon, Tom DeVault, and Jason Watson. These boys found a cozy place tn read while they participated in the "Battle of the Books". From left are Derek Becker, Casey Echtinuw, Mike Seeber, and Nick Jarmgn.

The roots of the present-day Grace Wesleyan Church in Hastings go back to 1922 when the Hastings City Mission was formed, holding its first service in a store building on North Michigan Avenue. Several years later the Mission became affiliated with the Pilgrim Holiness Church, taking that name. In 1968 the Pilgrim Holiness Church merged with the Wesleyan Church and the former took its current name. the City Hall from the Hastings Lions Club and moved into it The rooms in the building were small, the numerous partitions making the congregation's worship services difficult to hold. A remodeling program was soon started, however, alleviating that problem. The building continued to be used for ser­ vices until the present building was com­ pleted in 1962 and was used by the church for other purposes until 1969 when it was torn down to provide additional parking space for the new Hastings National Bank then under construe tion. In 1956 a house and two-acre tract of land on South Hanover was purchased for a new church. It was not until August 1960 though that ground was broken and work on the building began. The structure eventually completed was a 44-by-90 foot brick veneer building with a full basement. On the ground floor was a main auditorium with a seating capacity of 300, a nursery, a pastor's study, a library room and a spacious entry. A balcony provided seating for an additional 60 people. The basement, meanwhile, had a large assembly room. 11 Sunday School classrooms, a furnace room, a storage room, plus restroom facilities. The first service at the new church was held on Sunday, March 18,1962. The building was then dedicated on Sunday, June 3, with the Rev. A.C.

Gloria Nitz At every change of season or holiday, there’s a macrame decoration to fit the occasion on the front door of the Nitz home in Hastings. The decorative greetings are the han­ diwork of Gloria Nitz, a multi-talented gal who enjoys her family and a wide range of hobbies. She has interests that coincide with every season — from cross-country skiing in the winter to water siding in the summer. Every Christmas she organizes a cookie exchange with friends and in the summer she might be found working outdoors with children in one of the Yrft egrams Children rave always been special to her. "I have alwrfysllked kids and I knew that I wanted toIrtiMrWith kids,” said Gloria as she talked about he. reasons for deciding to pursue a career !n teaching after she graduated from high school in h«r native city or Saginaw. After graduating from a Lutheran teachers' college, Concordia, in River Forest, a suburb of Chicago, Gloria taught for about 18-months in the small community of Hemlock in Michigan. She married her high school sweetheart, Wade Nitz, and decided to put her teaching career on the back burner while she raised their children. During that time she decided to babysit for other working mothers and about two years ago, she started working as a substitute teacher in the Hastings and Woodland schools. Now the Nitzs have increased the size of their own family with the recent birth of a son, Michael, who is eight weeks old. Daughter Melissa, 13, and son, Marc 9 are proving to be a big help in lending a hand with their new brother, says Gloria. The family has lived in Hastings since 1975 when Wnrienrr-nted a position as director of finance at Pennock Hospital. Prior to that they had lived in Sterling Heights, near the Detroit area. “I didn’t know if we would like it here,' comments Gloria. But now the family is sold on the Hastings area. "We feel more like we’rea partofa smaller community. We like the schools and that was one thing that at­ tracted us. Gloria says she and her family like the woods, lakes, and the outdoors in general. "We're family-oriented," she adds. Gloria directed the children's choir at Grace Lutheran Church for seven years and has been active in the church's Sarah Circle, including taking a turn at serving as chairman of the group's holiday bazaar. She is a former Camp Fire leader and is active with PTO at the school. Volunteering time with hospital guilds has been a meaningful activity for her. She is a former member of the guild which circulates a library cart to patients' rooms and she still continues her membership with Guild 30 of which she served a year as president and held other offices. The guild makes a quilt every year to earn money for hospital equipment and Gloria has served as chairman of that project. She also likes to do quilting at home and has made a quilt for each of her children. A current project involves quilting a family heirloom quilt top that was made 80-years ago. "Things that have been in the family a long time and other old things are special to us," says Gloria, She said she and her husband share a hobby of restoring aniques. "It gives us a sense of satisfaction to take something old and in need of repair and restore it. "He likes to refinish and build furniture and I help him. We reupholstered a coach and did the drapes in the family room. "I've done a lot of sewing. I used to make all of the children's clothes." Gloria's other hobbies are reading, German Pancakes are a favorite recipe of Gloria Nitz. It's on easy recipe that's good to serve for breakfast, lunch or dinner, she says. stenciling, candlewicking. country painting on canvas, and counted cross stitch. She also enjoys such sports as swimming, golfing, water skiing and cross country skiing. When it comes to cooking, one of Gloria’s favorite recipes is German pancakes. "It’s an easy recipe and the kids can make it. You make it in the blender. It’s special but there’s not a lot of time involved in making IL” German pancakes "make a good meal for breakfast, lunch or dinner," she said. salt.

They are comprised of two separate compartments: the top compartment for holding the soap, with drain holes to drain off surplus water into the lower water compartment, and the lower compartment with a pouring spout or opening, to dip the brush into the water prior to mixing the lather. The pouring spout is usually the mouth of the character shaving mug. These innovative character mugs, made of china or porcelain, are in .-hapes of animals, people, or heads. The collecting of barbershop items or shaving memorabilia is called “Bar­ beriana". Introduced in America before the turn-of-the-century, most character shaving mugs were imported from Austria and Bavaria and many bear the mark of the country of origin on the base (bottom) of the mug. Many are made of fine china and some are even made of bisque. Others are of inferior quality china, but with remarkable detail of craftsmanship. These novelty mugs generally were for home use, but they were such great conversation pieces that many owners originally kept them at their favorite barbershop. At least three dozen different shapes were originally made, for this many have been found in collections around the country. Some shaving mug collectors specialize in these mugs. Among the characters are: Indian Head, Dog Head, Witch Head, Buffalo Head, Chinaman Head, Elephant Head, various fish heads. Boar Head, Devil Head (with matching character brush). Goat Head. Man's Skull, Tiger Head, Rhino Head, Negro Jockey Head, and others. Character shaving mugs have also been found in the shape of a man's shoe, shirt cuff, and even with two heads (a monoded Englishman, which when turned upside down, becomes an ape's head). Semi-characters include mugs with handles of unusual shapes such as barber poles, straight razors, snake or lizard handles. There is the “scuttle" mug, so named some 40 years ago because of the resemblance to the old-fashioned coal scuttle. This name seems appropriate, for during the ensuing years it has remained and all collectors and dealers use this term today. The shape of the scuttle mug was first defined in the drawing submitted with one of the earliest patent applications, and there has been little change from that first general shape in 1870. These mugs have two compartments (the upper one for soap and the lower compartment for the water). The first mugs had no drain holes in the top compartment, but later im­ provements provided them to prevent the soap from becoming soggy. Scuttle mugs were made of glass, porcelain or china and even metals such as silver-plate, sterling, or nickelplate. The sterling silver scuttles are considered the rarest of all. but even thesilver-plateisvery desirable among collectors. Many of the scuttle type mugs were imported from either Germany or England. Others were made in the United States, and, as in olhei china products, there were different quality and grades of decoration. Some were wet-paint engravings (applied similar to the way decals are applied). Others were strictly hand-painted. "Occupational" shaving mugs are also very desirable finds among Bar­ beriana collectors. These were manufactured with motifs depicting various occupations of the day. There were railroad mugs, farmer mugs, blacksmith mugs, and various type military mugs; most every kind ol occupation from those eras. Aftc- purchasing the shaving mug depicting his particular occupation, the owner then had his name applied in gold. These were very often dated, and were oftimes left on the shelf at a particular barbershop and used on the owner of the mug when he went for a shave. The occupational shaving mug is a prized find in today's collector field and commands a high price when pur­ chased. There were also "fraternal" shaving mugs, depicting various orders of a fraternity or lodge. These also are eagerly sought. During the late 1800s, the "Bar­ bershop Quartet" was spawned. Because men congregated in the barbershops to chew, spit and cuss and spends good partof the day, it was only natural that a group of men might join voice in song. Some groups were very good at harmonizing without music, and these groups became known as “Babershop Quartets". From the barbershops to local gatherings and functions, the early 1900s blossomed with music reminiscent of the times. Early tintypes show these quartets sporting "handlebar" moustaches, hair generally parted in the middle, rolledup shirt sleeves and wearing spats, each lending his own octave to such tunes as "In the Good Ok! Sum­ mertime", “Meet Me in St. Louis", and "Sweet Adeline". These were the so-called "good old days” when a shave and a haircut was two bits! — NOTICE — OF LAST DAY OF REGISTRATION SCHOOL ELECTION Notice of the Last Day of Registration of the Qualified Electors of Hastings Area School District STATE OF MICHIGAN TO THE QUALIFIED ELECTORS OF SAID SCHOOL DISTRICT: The election is being held to vote on the following: PROPOSITION I General Operating Millage Proposition Shod the limitation on the total amount of taxes which may be assessed aqainst all taxable property in the Hosting* Area School District.

In 1968 a merger took place between the Pilgrim Holiness denomination and the Wesleyan Methodist denomination with the comb.ned groups taking the latter name. The follow ing year the local church voted to take the official name ‘Grace Wesleyan Church'. Michigan Avenue Wesleyan Church > The first Wesleyan service on record in the area dates back to 1887. Rev. Isiah Martin was pastor and during those early years services were held at the Fisher and the North Irving Churches, plus some country schoolhouses. Traveling by horse and buggy to the various locations, he conducted four services one Sunday and three the following week. The first Wesleyan services in the City of Hastings were held in 1903 at private homes. Later that year, in December, the Advent Church was rented for regular meetings. On April 23, 1906 the Hastings Class was organized with five charter mer.bers — Betsy Malliken, Grace Bradley, Grace Smith, Frank Cramer and Nora Cramer. Two years later a lot for a regular church was purchased on Michigan Avenue for $200. That money was given to the local congregation by the Michigan Conference which had sold some property in Lake Odessa to raise the money. The Conference also gave $464 toward the construction of the church, that money coming from the sale of a church in Orangeville. The remainer of the funding for a new building came from donations made by other Wesleyan churches. Construction on the Michigan Avenue lot was finished in 1909 with the first service held Aug. 7. The Hastings church then became part of the local circuit which in­ cluded the North Irving and Fisher Chur­ ches. Rev. C.M. Duryea was the first pastor of that expanded circuit. In 1928 the Fisher Church was closed because of a lack of interest and was later sold for $200 and tom down. At the Michigan Avenue location a basement was dug in June 1932 and a wall put in. The project had a tragic footnote though. While helping to draw gravel for the necessary cement work. Rev. Floyd Barker as killed by a gravel cave-in that broke his neck. A 1942 project saw the addition of six Sunday School classrooms for the church, those being located in the basement. In 1947 the Hastings and North Irving Churches became independent of each other with the former one giving North Irving $2400 for its interest in the parsonage. The Rev. H.V. Decker became the first fulltime pastor of the Hastings group.

The following month they held their first combined service. The Michigan Avenue building was later sold and now houses the Barry CountyChurch of Christ. During the first year as a combined congregation. Rev. C.L. Walker of Grace and Rev. Leonard Davis of Michigan Avenue served as asocialc pastors. Walker then retired in 1978 and Davis — who came to Hastings in 1974 — has headed the congregation since. The latest project for the now combined Wesleyan churches was started in October 1980 when ground was broken for a 50-by-80 foot multi-purpose addition. The work — much of it done by volunteers from the church — was completed in late February 1981. The addition houses an elementary school­ sized gym. a large conference room, a room for the Women s Missionary Society, a commercially-equipped kitchen, and restrooms with shower facilities. The building is used weekly by the chur­ ch's 150-member Christian Youth Crusaders and other youth and for such purposes as ->askctball.\-olleyball. banquets and wedding -eceptions. along with the various meetings and gatherings.

The Saxons played without leading scorer Mark Brown while the effectiveness of senior forward Todd Bucher, another key player, was limited due to an injured toe. Hastings coach Denny O’Mara said Brown is “questionable" for Friday's showdown at Albion which will probably determine second place in the Twin Valley. Bucher will play, but O'Mara doubts he'll be at full strength by Friday. O'Mara wasn't making any excuses tur the play of his team even without Brown. “We learned a lot about ourselves," he said. “We just made too many mistakes. We had 23 turnovers and that makes for a long night." O’Mara said Grand Ledge's 2-3 zone was something his team hadn't seen this year. But the major factor contributing to the turnovers was the lack of Brown's ap­ pearance on the court "We missed his team leadership," said O'Mara. "Our other guards haven't had to do that. "We play better as a team with Brown on the court. In that respect we would have done much better with him playing." Grand Ledge jumped to an 18-13 first quarter lead and upped that to 29-17 at the half. The Comets went up by 20 in the third period but Hastings cut the lead to 10 and had a chance to slice it to eight with five minutes remaining in the game. But a couple of missed free throws were turned into fast break baskets for Grand Ledge and the Comets were able to seal the SPORTS Delton's basketball team let a big lead slip away in the third quarter but still managed to beat pesky Galesburg-Augusta 64-58 on Tuesday night. The Panthers led 17-8 at the end of the first quarter and 33-19 at the half. Delton built the lead to 46-26 lafe in the third period before the roof started to give way. Galesburg scored 15 straight points aided by numerous breaks. For example, Delton center Jim Meade fouled out, coach Paul Blacken was hit with, a technical, and Galesburg completed three straight threepoint plays. Delton still led 61-58 with eight seconds left when Galesburg was forced to foul. Three free throws in the final seconds sealed the 6458 win. Brett McBeth and Steve Tuin each scored 15 points for Delton, McBeth hit seven of eight free throws and scored 11 of his points in the second half. Jay Henry led the team with 16 points, including 13 in the first half. Defensively, he also held Galesburg's leading scorer, Steve Hewitt, to 23 points. Area standings-scorers SMAA Maple Valley by Steve Vedder The baseball beat in winter a female reporter how it shall be that the Tigerr will win it all in '84. Perched in another chair sipping some sort of drink was Morris, quietly predicting that with a little luck the Tigers could win their first division championship since 1972 and their first World Series since 1968. Petry was following suit somewhere else in the stuffed room. And naturally there was Sparky Anderson, scribbling notations with his pen on the beautiful table cloth as he told how the Tigers were going to throttle Toronto, slip past Baltimore and beat up on the Yankees. Ah, this man they call Sparky. When the Man upstairs was handing out the gift of gab, Sparky Anderson got in line twice. Sparky loves to talk baseball. He loves to talk about anything, but baseball is his baby. He’ll talk baseball any time, any place. Just ask him and flip on the tape recorder. and if a person listens to Sparky long enough they might even forget about that shaky Tiger pitching staff or the holes at third and in right field. Sparky, who could sell cruise missies to the Russians, is the master of broaching a subject and making it sound more than what it's cracked up to be. He does manage to forget the used car sales pitch when he speaks of Whitaker, Lance Parrish, Allan Trammell or Morris or Petry. Anderson rates Sweet Lou and the awesome Parrish the No. 1 players in the game at their respective positions. He rates Trammell the third best shortstop in baseball behind Cal Ripken and Robin Yount. Anderson says Morris and Petry are one of the best pitching tandems in basehall. He says newcomer Darrell Evans, despite his 36 years, still ranks among the top 10 first basemen in the game. Sparky can almost make it all sound so realistic. No more excuses about the pitfalls of youth, or of his players needing more experience. No more talk about learning how to win, or the importance of developing that winning attitude. “This is an established ballclub now,” says Sparky. After about 45 minutes of in­ terviewing the players and management, the 1983 Tiger highlight film was run. There, captured one last time, was Lemon's fantastic catch of a certain Rod Carew homer in California, a couple of game winning grand slams by Parrish, and Jack Morris winning his 20th game. And what was that tune played at the end of the film? Now I remember. “Ain't no stopping us now." Saxon sports next week Middleville's basketball team had two strikes against it before it even went to bat against Maple Valley on Tuesday night. The fired up Lions were playing before a Parent's Night crowd while the Trojans were playing without their leading scorer, forward Dave Perry, who was out with a cold. But the Trojans swept to a 24-11 first quarter lead and upped that margin to as many as 16 points in the second period on a 19 for 28 shooting half. The game, however, didn’t stay quite that easy for the visiting Trojans. Maple Valley, the SMAA leader, cut the lead to 46-37 at the half and eventually tied the score at 46-46 in the third period. Thomapple Kellogg managed to build the lead back to 60-55 by the end of the third quarter and then held off the Lions in the final eight minutes. Steve Miller led Middleville with 29 points. Tim Heffner added a career-high 20 markers and Tim Mathiesen chipped in 10. Pranger also had praise for Perry's replacements, Brian Kaechele and Dave Karel, who combined for 10 points. Maple Valley got 16 points from Greg Lenz and 11 from Jeff Hamilton, Jeff Starring and Ryan Trowbridge. Middleville is now 7-5 while the Lions drop to 64. Ski race coming The annual Lumipallo Cross Country SKI races, sponsored by the Barry County Child Abuse Council, will be held this Saturday (Feb. 4) at Charlion Par:.. The 10k race begins at 10:30 a.m. while the 5k race commences at 11:30 a.m. The Hastings Timber Trails Ski Shop will hold a waxing clinic prior to the races at 9:30 while other activities include a concession stand, warming barns, childrens’ events, horse-urawn sleigh rides and open skiing after the race. Skiers can register the day of the race at 9:30. Age classifications are: 12 years and under, 13-15, 16-19, 20-29, 30-39 and 40 and uver. The Barry Child Abuse Council is spon­ soring the races and Saturday night dance as a means of raising funds for its child abuse prevention efforts. Hastings JVs lose The Hastings jayvee basketball team hit the skids last week losing two of three bailgames. The Saxons topped Harper Creek 75-59, but lost to Marshall 55-53 and Grand I.edge 74-45. In the win over the Beavers, Mike Kar­ pinski scored 21 points. Andy Jenkins 19, Nick Willison 9, and Prentice Carpenter and Tim Hubert 8. In the Marshall game, Karpinski and Hubert each scored 12 points. Carpenter added 9 and Jenkins 8. Steve McVey led Hastings with 12 points against Grand Ledge while Willison chipped in 11. The team is now 7-5 overall and 4-3 in the Twin Valley. Jr. High team wins The Hastings Junior High wrestling team piled up 1774 points to nip second place Mason, which had 1764 points, to win their own tournament last Saturday. Going into the tournament both teams were undefeated. Hastings had to rally from 40 points behind late in the tournament to grab the one point win. Individual champions for Hastings were Tom Bolo (87). Boyd Endsley (94), Scott Mueller (136) and Boyd Tobias (155). A second place was notched by Tom Potter (145) while Lenny Case (73), Peter Hauschild (80) and Mike Maurer (129) took thirds. Jason Burr (66), Jim Lenz (115) and Jason Bennett (122) all finished with fourths. Wrestling results: Hastings, 64 February 2 WRESTLING.

Delton eagers hang on for 10th victory M’ville edges MV ...ataglance Sparky Anderson barely glanced at the small, non-descript man as he slipped into the chair beside the Tiger manager. After listening for a minute to my conversation with Anderson, the man began homing in on the interview. Whenever I asked Sparky a question this man would nod his head and then offer his opinion to Anderson and myself. This went on for several minutes. “Must be a radioman," I muttered to myself as I glanced around the packed room in the Midway Motor Lodge in Lansing. "They don’t mind being pushy.” Finally the pesky lellow wandered off to bother somebody eke and I finished up my interview with the Tiger manager. Later the man was introduced to the assembled newspaper, radio and television people gathered in Lansing on this day for Che annual Detroit Tiger Winter Pre-ss Tour. The non-descript little man who helped botch up my interview with Sparky Anderson was introduced to the media as Thomas Monaghan, the new owner of the Detroit Tigers. Monaghan was only one of the at­ tractions at the tour's Lansing stop. The unlikely ballclub owner who runs 1,200 pizza joints was joined by Tiger President Jim Campbell, Vice President-Bill Lajoie, Anderson as well as Tiger players Jack Morris, Dan Petry and Chet Lemon. The 1983 Tiger of the Year, Lou Whitaker, was also scheduled to make the tour, but had to bug off because of a mysterious stomach ailment. The Tiger winter tour, which also made stops in St. Clair, Bay City, Flint, Grand Rapids, Kalamazoo, Jackson and Toledo, is a public relations coup for the team. This is the fourth year I've hit the Lansingstopon the tour, and I've never failed to enjoy myself yet. Don’t tell the Tigers, but it doesn't take stuffed mushrooms, finger chicken, deviled eggs and ribs (not to mention an open bar) to bribe sport­ swriters into writing decent stories on the team. Every winter the Tigers, as well as most other major league clubs, round up several players and parade them around the state promoting the team. They always manage to say the right things and thewriters' stories and radio cuts come out sounding like this is finally going to be the year the Tigers win it all. A good deal al! the way around. This year was no different than any other. There was Lajoie puffing on a cigar telling us how the Tigers right now were the best team in baseball. In another comer sat Lemon, telling 66-51 win. “We had our opportunity, we just couldn’t climb back in," said O'Mara. Statistically, Hastings hit 20 of 48 <41 per cent) from the field as compared to 29 of 62 for Grand Ledge. The taller Comets were actually outrebounded by Hastings, 39-32, but that stat is misleading, said O’Mara. at Jackson Northwest at 6:30 .............

Directors ... Marshall H. Cook Charles F. Johnston Richard J. Hudson �The Hastings Banner—Thursday, February 2, 1984, Page 10 ------------- Pike fishing--------------- Winter spearing’s a different experience Electricity: Instant Energy Electricity, we can all agree, is instant energy. There was once a baseball player who, the story goes, could flick the switch on the wall in his hotel room and be in bed before the light went out That’s quick. The Tigers could use him. But save for that one fellow, there are fe .v among us who can outrace electricity. We might also agree that elect­ ricity is our lifeline to comfort and convenience. Don’t believe it?Think about living without it— without a refrigerator, a TV, lights, a vacuum cleaner.... Enough? What we may not agree on is that electricity is a bargain. Consumers Power Company’s electric rates for residential customers are among the lowest in the Midwest and are 15 to 26 percent less than the national average, according to a national study released last summer. For a typical family, using500 kilowatthours of electricity per month without water heating service, 87.7 percent of the nation’s other 225 investor-owned utilities have higher rates. That’s not all the evidence. Look at effective buying in­ come. In 1963, it took 1.44 per­ cent of your income to buy a year’s supply of electricity. In 1982, it took 1.46 percent In fact the average middle-income Michigan family spends more each year on their insurance, their telephone bills, their vaca­ tions and even eating out than they spend on electricity. According to computations de­ veloped from surveys conducted by the U.S. Bureau of Labor Sta­ tistics, the average family spends $880 a year for insurance, $523 on telephone bills, $818 on vaca­ tions and a whopping $1,428 eating out. But, in Michigan the average middle-income family using 500 kilowatthours of electricity per month will, over a year, only pay Consumers Power approximate­ ly $350. For their money, they get clean, instant comfort and convenience. Is electricity a bargain? Tbink twice before you say “No"—even if you're not quick enough to flick the switch and be in bed before the light goes out.

A different, if perhaps more challenging experience awaiting an angler is pike fishing. There are two traditional methods used for landing these slender-bodied, long-snouted creatures, namely line fishing with a tip-up and spear fishing from a shanty. "A tip-up is usually baited with a large sucker minnow of five-to-six inches long," said Dave Johnson, the District Fish Biologist at Plainwell. "When a pike hits the bait the flag of course flips and the line opens up. You should let the fish run with the minnow until it stops* After n pike makes that initial run, it will aim the minnow head firstand swallow it. At that point you should rare back, setting the hook, and hopefully get it out." Johnson suggests fishing in six feet or less of water in an area of the lake that has structure, meaning vegetation, weedbeds, a rock pile, or a brush pile. “Pike are looking for small fish to eat and those wjjl typically be hanging near this type of cover or along the edge of a drop-off," he said. "The depth of the minnow should be about a foot above the top of the vegetation," he added. "You put the bait just above the weeds so that it can’t get down into them. In the winter the weeds are usually laying down and probably are not going to be sticking up more than a foot." The minnow, hooked behing the dorsal fin, will typically swim about, Johnson noted, fighting that hook, and by doing so simulate a fish in trouble "Pike are opportunists as are most predators," Johnson said, “and will be more attracted to that than a run-of-the-mill fish that can more easily escape its pursuit." For beginners or those unfamiliar with a particular lake, watching other anglers is an excellent indication of where to find pike. "If vou eo to a lake where pike fishing is popular it won't take you long to figure where they're at," Johnson pointed out. "Pike fishing is kind of a specialty and those who fish for them know what they're doing.” Spearing from a shanty should likewise be done in shallow water “You can use a live decoy," the biologist said, "or else an artificial one that you hang from the roof and, when you touch the line, it moves around like a fish in trouble. "Some prefer the live bait," he added, "because they can tell by the reaction of the minnow if a pike is getting near It gets nervous and heads to the opposite s'de of the hole." Upon spearing a pike, most anglers pin it to the bottom and let it thrash around until it’s tired out. Johnson said the best pike lakes are "relatively shallow with a lot of vegetation". In deeper lakes the fish is found near the shoals. "Pike requires habitat that's rm. rshy with vegetation," he explained. "They broadcast they’re spawn right over emerging vegetation (in the spring)." Pike areusudly sparse in those lakes that have been highly developed; where their shallows have been dredged and replaced with manmade beaches or seawalls. “The pike range has shrunk became of this," Johnson noted. Some good pike spots in the coun’y, he said, are Long Lake at Cloverdale, Fish Lake, the northern end of Gull Lake, and many of the area's private lakes. Thomapple Lake is another good spot although live bait cannot be used because of the muskie population. The legal size of pike is 20 inches, except in designated muskie lakes where the minimum length is 30 inches. Daily limits are five fish. The season ends on Feb. 29. Warm weather pike fishing resumes on May 15. COMMISSION ORDER CH-114.84 (Under authority of Act 230, P.A. 1925, as amended) STURGEON SIZE LIMIT February is the mating season for county’s great horned owls by John Lerg Dept, of Natural Resources January and February is the mating season for great homed owls in Barry County. Great horned owls are the most common and the largest owl in southwestern Michigan. Flying silently through the night, these birds can sometimes be seen as they pass through the illumination of car headlights. More often they come to people’s attention through their calls. The great horned owl's call consists of 5 hoots. This is repeated while the bird is on its perch. During the winter, their calls are much more frequent as they hope to attract a Duane Bowerman (left) and Jime VanTil, both from Middleville, caught their limit of Northern pike last week while fishing on Shaw Lake. The catch ranged from two-to-13 pounds. Pike fishing offers o different, perhaps more challeng­ ing experience for the angler. Plus, many of the lakes in the county offer excellent angling prospects. The season though ends on Feb. 29. mate with their "singing". Nests are started in late February and March. By the time the eggs hatch, winter has broken; and the mice that make up the majority of this owl's diet are scurrying about again. Great horned owls make their nest high in the crotch of a tree. Often they refurbish a red-tailed hawk's nest for their use. Usually two eggs are laid. The young owlets hatch in about 30 days and can fly on their own by the first of June. During the winter’s fiercest period, the owl songs area pleasant reminder that spring is coming and life goes on. The Natural Resources Commission, at its meeting on October 7, 1983, under authority of Act 230, P.A. 1925, as amended, ordered that no sturgeon may be taken or possessed from the waters of this state of a length less than 50 inch­ es for a period of five years beginning January 1, 1984, through March 31,1989.

Norris Road, Delton, Michigan, at 1:45 p.m., February 15, 1984. The committee meeting will be followed by a public hearing at 2:00 p.m., same date and location. The Committee will elect a chairman and review Act 159, P.A. 1967. At the hearing, testimony will be taken from interested persons regarding hunt­ ing area safety problems on Little Long Lake (Prairieville Township, Barry County & Richland Township, Kalamazoo County). All interested persons are invited to attend and offer comments, orally or in writing. Law Enforcement Division Dept of Natural Resources Box 30028, Lansing, Ml. 48909 Meeting set on proposed fishing ban A proposal by the Dept, of Natural Resources to regulate muskie fishing in Gun Lake by closing it to winter spearing and raising the size limit for muskie to 38 inches and for northern pike to 30 indies has many area residents, particularly anglers, concerned. The rules — which would be effective April 1 — are standard DNR regulations for "brood stock" lakes. “The DNR will be taking eggs from muskies in Gun Lake to support musky management statewide," said Warren Dalward, a fish biologist at the department's Plainwell office, explaining the reasoning for the rules' changes. Dalward said a "town meeting" would be held on Feb. 15 at 7:30 p.m. in the Yankee Springs Township Hall to address tlwse con­ cerns. Specifically, he noted that area fishermen are con­ cerned about several aspects of this program. “The spear fisteriuun will lose their sport on Gun Lake," he said. "Others fed muskies are eating so many perch or bluegills that fishing is deteriorating for those species." Along with discussing those topics, along with the rules' changes, Dalward will talk on past fish stocking in the lake. "There will be an op­ portunity for anyone to voice their concerns," he said. "We will attempt to reach a concensus on wha‘ type of fishing we want in the future" X-country ski lessons are being offered The Thornapple Valley Bikeis and Timbers TrJls Energies are offering four free lessons on "cross­ country skiing" for begin­ ners.

Officials said the fire at the Charles Schleh residence. located in the Carlton Center Mobile Home Village, may have been started by heal tape placed over pipes. Roger Caris, Hastings Fire Dept, chief, said the trailer was not-totally involved when units arrived at 4:30 a.m. He said the total dollar loss on the trailer is not known at this time. Caris said the family was alerted to the flames by a smoke detector. "If it wasn't for the smoke deketor, that family would have been in trouble," said Caris. Middleville firefightera said a wood stove is the cause of a fire that destroyed the Elmer Dundes residence Friday, on Garbow Rd. Middleville Fire Chief Bob Kenyon said the two-story, frame home was totally involved when units arrived at 2:40 p.m. Kenyon said heat from the stove set rafters on fire, and that the structure burned to the ground. Dundee, who reportedly lived alone, is now staying with his brother, said Kenyon. A fire Saturday at the Gary Nicholson residence, S. Bedford Rd., caused approximately $1,500 damage, ac­ cording to Hastings firefighters. Reports say the fire started in a wall behind the chimney, but did not get in the bouse. That fire was reported about 7:45 a.m. Night break-in at Big Wheel Burglars apparently broke into the Big Wheel department store, which is currently under construction west of Hastings, Sunday night. Barry County sheriff deputies, responding to a store alarm, could find no sign of forcible entry nor any tracks in the recently fallen .-.now. However, when officers returned to the store Monday morning, they discovered an open trap door on the roof and two sets of footprints. A check by store personnel turned up a missing chain saw. along with various clothing items that are currently beingstocked at the store. The sheriff department then received a call later in the day that a chainsaw and clothing had been found in a nearby building. Surveillance of the site, however, failed to turn up a suspect. Store managers are checking in­ ventory to see if any other merchandise was taken. A breaking and entry also took place the Sunday before at Big John’s Market, located at 2525 Barber Rd., Hastings. Entry was gained through a window and $17 in loose change was stolen. Deputies are investigating both cases Bradenton picnic planned Feb. 29 The Bradenton Barry County Picnic will be held again this year on Wed­ nesday.

Gun Lake residents protest sewer hike Mark Brown copes with cage pressures Pages 1 &12 Page 9 Fishermen fighting Want halt to Gun, Thornapple Lake rules by Steve Vedder Picture this scene: A grandfather gathers up his young grandson early one bright, sunny morning and takes off to Gun Lake or Thomapple Lake for a day of bluegill fishing. But the two fishermen spend the entire morning and a hefty portion of the afternoon on the lake and come away with only a few scattered bites. The disappointed pair return home in time for supper, emptyhanded and thoroughly disgusted. Brian Akers hopes it is a scene that isn't repeated with any regularity. Warren Alward agrees with Akers in hoping the scene is a rare one, but doesn't fully accept Akers' answer for the fruitless fishing outing. Akers, president of the Gun Lake Protective Association, and Alward, a DNR fisheries habitat biologist, are two figures in a burning controversy over the use of Gun Lake as a muskellunge brooding stock lake. Tammi Snore (front) and Kelsey Cruttenden were busy making Valentine "MEN'’ from different-sized paper hearts on Tuesday afternoon. The two girls, plus their classmates, are members of Mrs. Burkholder's third grade class at Northeastern Elementary in Hostings. The youngsters, along with those older of heart, are again looking forward to the holiday of sweethearts that arrives next weak. Manufacturing buys back stock shares Stockholders of Hastings Manufacturing Co., Thursday, approved the purchase of 95,150 outstanding shares of common stock from a New York stock brokerage for nearly $3 million. “Hastings Manufacturing Co. received an unsolicited offer from a New York stock brokerage to sell a block of 95,150 shares of Hastings common stock at $30 per share," Monty Bennett, corporate secretary, said. “The company held a special meeting of the board of directors on Nov. 18, 1983 and determined that it was in the best interest of the company and its shareholders to accept the offer.” The board recommended ac­ ceptance of the offer subject to approval of the stockholders at a special meeting on Jan. 26 The stock firm, Tweedy Brown, was representing 132 various clients, Bennett said. A majority vote of the stockholders represented at the Thursday meeting ap­ proved the purchase, which will cost the firm $2,854,500. The stock represents 18.1 percent of the company's outstanding stock. Bennett said that the company will finance the purchase on a long-term basis. In 1982, the company made an offer to purchase 370,000 shares of stock at $16 per share, which would have reduced the out­ standing stock from 748,406 to 373.406 shares. Bennett said that the total number of shares actually purchased was 224,000. "When Hastings made the tender offer in 1982, Tweedy Brown did not sell their stock and in fact purchased stock while we were soliciting stockholders to buy back stock," Bennett said. “Since that lime, they have found that Hastings Manufacturing did not acquire the total that their stockholders had authorized them to buy. Tweed Brown felt that the company would be interested in purchasing theirs at a greater price than paid previously because it was a large block.” The earlier tender offer was open from Dec. 2. 1982 to Jan. 14, 1983. Bennett said that the current market price has been ranging between $28 and $31*4He said that the action in both cases was taken by the board of directors to deter any possible takeover attempts, which they do not believe would be in the best interests of shareholders, employees or the community "There have been no recent takeover attempts or offers to purchase, merge or acquire Hastings." Bennett said. "These proposed tender offers were a precautionary measure.” Bennett added that 35.9 percent of the outstanding shares of Hastings stock are represented by the Johnson family group. Legislators will speak here and in Nashville The Hastings Area Chamber of Commerce is sponsoring a Legislative Coffee on Mon­ day. Feb. 13, at McDonald's Restaurant at 8 a.m. Rep Bob Bender of the 88th District and Sen. Bob Welborn of the 13th District will speak and answer questions. Public is welcome. The Castleton and Maple Grove Township boards are hosting legislative breakfasts, Monday. Feb. 13. at the Kountry Kettle in Nashville, starting at 10 a m. State Sen Robert Welborn, R-Kalamazoo is scheduled to speak. Township officials invite all interested persons, and say any and all questions will be welcome. Hastings The DNR has prohibited the possession of muskellunge less than 38 inches in length on five Michigan lakes including Gun and Thornapple Lakes. In addition, the DNR has banned spearing on 31 state lakes including Gun and Thor­ napple I^akes. That order is effective April 1, 1984. Gun Lake residents, led by Ake.-s, say the muskellunge are the chief reason for what the group claims is a fall-off of the panfish catch at Gun Lake.The group also wants to halt the DNR from stocking the lake with muskies. The DNR's stance is that while muskellunge admittedly feed on bluegill, perch and bass, there is no need to abort the muskellungebrood stock program. The DNR questions how much the brood stock program has affected the panfish population — if at all. Akers' group is currently circulating a petition asking that the DNR cease using the lake as a rearing pond. An open hearing has been scheduled between the two groups for Feb. 15 at the Yankee Springs Township Hall at 7:30 p.m. to discuss the issue. •‘H’s a very emotional issue," contends Akers, himself an avid fisherman. "Gun Lake is getting a reputation for not being a panfish lake anymore. Instead, it's known as the third best muskie fishing lake in the state. "We want to see the lake go back to the time that when you land a muskie, it's a trophy-sized fish." The DNR has also established a policy that prohibits spear fishing beginning in April of 1984. Akers claims many of Gun Lake's residents have been consistently spearing muskellunge in hopes in lowering their numbers.

Gun Lake Area Sewer Authority (GLASA) officials have indicated that a $3 a month rate hike is likely to be approved, with alternatives to any more hikes to be studied in the coming year. GLASA officials and township boards are scheduled to meet again Feb. 22. Over 300 Gun Lake area residents crowded into Yankee Springs Township Hall on Feb. 2 to protest the proposed hike, which was tabled to the next meeting. “I'll take itone year at a time, but we don't want to lead the public into thinking $3 is going to work," said Rich Pierson, manager­ operator of the Gun Lake Sewage Treatment Plant. Pierson said the rate hike is needed to cover a $1,835,000 shortfall in connection fees, caused by inflated engineering estimates and a loss of 216 "residential equivalents”. He said he first discovered the shortfall last summer, and immediately made the GLASA board eware of it. Pierson said engineering estimates made six years ago of the number of sewer customers greatly exceed the number of actual hodcups. GLASA's original plan called for the $7,725,000 sewer grant to be covered by connection and service fees of each of the forecasted 2,450 customers. That number is now 2,234. The system charges customers a "con­ nection fee” of $1,120, plus a "service fee” of $1,580 per equivalence user, for a total of $2,700 for a one family house. Commercial usage is based on a table, which assigns a value for each type of business. For exam­ ple, a service station is assigned .25 of an equivalent unit per pump, a party store .1 unit per employee. That system of tabulating commercial user equivalents was changed, however, in 1980, creating a 169.5 user equivalent short­ fall, according to a GLASA estimate. Pierson said GLASA is currently paying $120,000 a year in interest on the connection fee deficit.. Much of the controversy centers on the handling of a $2.75 debt retirement fee built into the $12 monthly service charge by GLASA five years ago. Pierson points out that the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, through which the sytem’s $7,725,000 grant was received, mandates that plant operations and maintenance must be met first That $2.75, said Pierson, was to have gone toward retiremer t of a $580,000 shortfall already built into the system. Pierson said the money was spent on operations and management of the sewer system, which began connecting up to lake homes in 1980. Pierson said it will take an additional $190,000 a year, spread over the next 16 years, to pay off that $1,835,000 shortfall, at 64 percent interest. That translates into a $7 per month user fee increase per customer. Richard Lang, a Kalamazoo attorney representing GLASA, told the Feb. 2 Yankee Springs Township Hall audience that the four townships — Orangeville, x'ankee Springs, Wayland and Martin — pledge their full faith and credit into the maintenance of the EPA grant. "This is an unlimited pledge that the townships have made for this project to provide enough monies to pay the bonds," he said. Lang said the system is solvent, i nd not in any danger of immediate collapse. “I don't want to spread any feeling that there is a financial panic. The system is solvent, and it has sufficient monies, but in the long run it does appear that there will have to be a change in the rate structure. "The quarterly rates are going to have to be increased. I don't think there's any question about that, and I’m sure you don't like to hear it," said Lang.

The message was from the school's 51 noninstructional employees who have been working without a contract since school began. Their former contract expired June 30. 1983. About 75 persons carried pickets Monday night, said Mary Ecker, negotiations chairperson for the Thomapple Kellogg Noninstructional Association. Half of those who carried picket signs were members of the non-instructional group and the other half were sympathetic teachers, she said. Ecker said the group decided to picket "to try to get information out to the public about what is going on and the fact that we do not have a contract." There is a possibility that the noninstructional employees might strike if they don't get a contract soon, she said. “They <non-instructional employees) are getting real disgusted to say the least," said Ecker. The board “has not offered us anything acceptable. “We are still sticking by the fact-finder's report. We would like what the fact-finder recommended. Teachers have binding ar­ bitration and we would like binding ar­ bitration.” she said. In November, a state-appointed fact­ finder, David Borland, recommended that non-instructional employees should receive Continued on page 8 Mary Ecker, negotiations chairperson for T-K Non-instructional Assn.. was one of 75 who picketed Monday's meeting. �The Hastings Banner — Thursday. February 6. 1984 — Page 2 VIEWPOINT: Commentaries from our editorial staff and the community — EDITORIAL Ballot proposals: Brennan makes good sense Thomas E. Brennan stands out among the people who have pushed ballot proposals as a man who makes good sense, thinks with a coo) head and avoids emotional harangues. The former chief justice of the Michigan Supreme Court, who is now president of Cooley Law School in Lansing, presented his case for four ballot proposals at the Barry County Republicans Lincoln Day Banquet, Friday. His argument for con­ stitutional change is based on the belief that bad political situations lead to a bad business climate which leads to bad living conditions. Then people move out of the state. Brennan s citizens group, called the Committee for Constitutional Reform, proposes to limit the state income tax to five percent, nominate justices to the Supreme Court throu/h a non-partisan primary rather than at political con­ ventions, create a seven member non-partisan commission of appellate judges to set up districts for state representatives, state senators and congressmen, and to limit the governor to two terms. Here’s a sample of the arguments in favor of the proposals: TAX MAX. the five percent income tax limitation - "Without the TAX MAX, legislators are free to impose income taxes which are unnecessary and unfair. Additionally, when submitting a budget to the legislature, the executive office can recommend extra temporary' income tax increases to cover the cost of special interest spending. The TAX MAX wiil eliminate political game-playing with Michigan tax dollars." The Better District Plan - The bi-partisan commission on apportionment never worked because it always deadlocked. The Supreme Court ruled the commission unconsti! <tional and allowed the legislature to reapportion itself. "But to let the legislature reapportion itself is to let the fox guard the hen house. It encourages gerrymandering, which only helps professional politicians by confusing the voters." The Fair Court Amendment - "Political parties have their place in the legislative and in the executive branches of government. The judiciary must be Impartial and trusted by everyone." The Two Term Limit - "Michigan needs the brightest and the best men and women to serve in its highest elective office. There must be a constant infusion of new blood i.ito our government... Democracy depends on the participation of all the people in the governmental process, not the dominance of professional politicians." Refreshing is the best word for Brennan. His approach to the ballot is a nice change of pace from the Richard Headlees and Robert Tisches who have dominated the political scene in the past six years. And, it's good to see ballot proposals that tackle some of the state government problems. Too many of the proposals that reached the ballot in recent years were sidesteps of issues con­ cocted by legislators or people in the executive office who were either determined to protect their own interests or were passing the buck on controversial issues. We expect to heur more from Brennan. In fact, he’s scheduled to speak again in Hastings to the Kiwanis Club on Feb. 29. If he's a candidate for governor next year, as is frequently mentioned, he may have to work on his ability to fire up the troops, but his common sense approach to politics appeals to us. We recommend that you ar-join us<y$*tudyiwg his ballot issues closely and keeping ar. eye on Tom Brennan. ’ See the symphony Area residents should lake the opportunity to see the Grand Rapids Symphony Orchestra in concert at Central Auditorium.

Issue of education is on everyone’s mind by Carl Schoessel (Hastings Superintendent ol Schools} (Note: This column was introduced last year in The Banner and at that time was authored by Acting Superintendent Robert Miller. It is now being reintroduced and will be penned by Superintendent Carl Schoessel.) These days it is nearly impossible to read a newspaper or magazine, or to listen to a radio or television news program without there being some reference to education. Results of local, state, and national studies on the effectiveness of this country's schools are being reported; governors and federal officials include comments about education in almost all of their speeches; and the financing of education is in the minds of everyone as property taxes are being paid and budgets for next year are being developed. The issue of quality education, how to get it and how to pay for it, truly has captured the attention of the American people. Now there is going to be one more thing about education to read, and hopefully, it will help Hastings Area School District residents understand educational issues at the local, state, and national levels. With the cooperation of THE HASTINGS BANNER management, this column will be included periodically in the newspaper so that the community can learn about its schools. Specific topics covered in the column will keep citizens informed about their local schools, ex­ plaining whc*. is happening in them and what their successes and problems are. In addition to the planned topics for this column, residents of the school district are invited to ask questions and raise issues that can be covered in the column so that it effectively can meet the needs of those who want to know what is going on in their schools. Questions for the column can be submitted by calling the school system s Administration Office at 948-8021, or by sending them to the office at 232 West Grand. A different question will be selected and addressed in each column, the questions will be chosen on the basis of which ones are of interest to the greatest number of citizens. An old saying goes. "You won’t know if you don't ask", so submit your questions and get to KNOW Y0UR SCHOOLS! Opinion from the staff BIG GOVERNMENT: I caused it by 26-08-367-5M-7940 Last week, in this space, my colleague Steve Horton asked 47 versions of the same question — who caused Big Government? I can give the answer in two words. I did. Many of you know my name, but there are a few selected souls out there who know me only as 26-08-367-58-7940. That's a number that I acquired about 15 years ago when I first applied for a college admission and Stale of Michigan scholarships. Many cf the students out there, or at least those who have attended colleges with any type of state or federal program and who lived in Barry County have adopted similar numbers instead of names. The government, you see, has never been satisfied with the alphabet, so it has put numbers on everything. The State of Michigan in government tqjk is 26. The 08 (not just 8. but 08) is Barry County's number. The final digits are my Social Security number, which first was important only to myself and my employers, but later was adopted by Western Michigan University as my student number. The Social Security number, since college days, has replaced my name on many forms, such as my Farmers Home Administration mortgage form, my insurance forms, my daughter's forms for th^ Michigan Crippled Children's program, and the like. By now, you're beginning to get my drift, I'm sure. 264)8-367-58-7940 has come in handy as my family and I make our way toward becoming typical middle class Americans. I’m not exactly sure where the beginning of this story really is, but I can take you back to a few things that I remember. Even before 1 knew that I was the cause of Big Govern­ ment, I was already causing it. I remember standing in line at Shenango Elementary School, outside of New Castle. Pa., and being given a sugar cube to dissolve in my mouth that I was told would keep me from getting polio. I had ao complaints. Somebody in the government, or in the local school system, had decided that all children, for the good of the public health, should receive the polio vaccine. Today. I know that to conduct such a program cost the taxpayers a lot of money to purchase the vaccine, hire people to ad­ minister the vaccine and then to study the results to see if polio did in fact decline as a result of the immunization. It did. As a result, we accepted a new role of government in protecting the public health. Everyday at lunch, we were able to pur­ chase our milk for two or three cents a half pint. All school children need milk, the logic went, so youngsters and their parents should be guaranteed the chance to purchase milk at lovr cost. I don't know whether the 1 government was subsidizing the farmer? who supplied the milk, the dairy that bottled the milk or the school that purchased the milk. Nonetheless, the milk surely cost more than two or three cents to produce, bottle and distribute, but since 1 got my milk everyday for lunch and my parents didn’t go broke supplying it to me. 1 had no complaints. Somebody must have been out there in the government world coordinating all of those suppliers, dairies and schools and the government grew a little bit bigger as a result. In the third grade. I spent hours taking tests called the Iowa Tests. In third grade, I knew that they were quite boring, but provided a break from the daily routine. 1 know today that somebody or a number of somebodies in the Pennsylvania Department of Education had decided that all children should be tested on their knowledge so that their progress in school could be followed. That’s probably a good idea. The Depart­ ment of Education needed people to oversee the program and somebody, somewhere was being funded to coordinate the program, create the tests, analyze the results and duly confirm that 1 was on the road to getting a good education. And the government grew just a little bit bigger Nothing seemed much different when I moved to Michigan in 1966. because we still had to take some kind of government tests to make sure we were getting as smart as “they" had predicted. My first personal experiences with Big Government came when I began to apply for college admission. The counsellors that the school paid to oversee such complicated procedures led me through the myriad forms and 1 began to use my assigned number — 2608-367 58-7940. I applied for scholarships as 264)8-367 58-7940 a id filled out forms for admission to Western and Central Michigan University as 26-08-367-58-7940. Shortly thereafter the draft board intervened and I was given a different number. 20-8-51-305, by Michigan Local Board No. 8. which was Barry County's board number as signified by the ever present number 8. (As an aside, my draft card, which I'm sure is useless, is still in my wallet because the Big Government orders written thereon are to carry it with me at all times and nobooy ever ordered me to do otherwise. Maybe I'll ask Norma Sothard, who signed my card as board secretary, if I can throw it away now.) Write us a letter! Send form P.S. 3579 lo P.O. Box B (USPS 071-830) 1952 N Broadway, P.O. Box B.

In any case, life wen’ on and through student deferrals and the luck of the lottery system in 1971. I avoided being drafted and becoming part of the Big Government we're talking about today Having quit school and exhausting the patience of my father who said I was on my own if I quit, I applied for a Big Government guaranteed student loan in 1971 and again in 1972 so 1 could have enough money to com­ plete my education as 26-08-367-58-7940. Marriage and a job with J-Ad Graphics brought me back to Hastings in 1974 and shortly thereafter I found that I qualified to purchase a home with only $180 in closing costs thanks to the generosity of Big Government and its local office of the Farmers Home Administration. In fact, my initial mortgage payments were sub­ stantially less than 1 had been paying in rent and since I qualified, I had no complaints. Nobody asked me to pay any more, so I didn't. In the meantime, I have been able to take advantage of the middle class’ favorite lax deduction, the interest payments on my mortgage. If you stop to think about it, the LETTERS to the Editor: Big Government was subsidizing my income by not requiring me to pay taxes on the in­ terest of the mortgage it had subsidized to allow me to buy a home. Who could com­ plain? I didn't As you see. this story could go on and on. Big Government and I meet frequently and conjure up ways to spend money. There are lots of little ways to spend government money, such as the new stop sign which I asked for and eventually received al the end of my street. The city government paid for the sign and for the men to install it < really two signs, because they put one on the op­ posite side of the street corner, too). Eventually, vandals or the weather or an errant driver will destroy the sign and the government will have to pay to replace it. On snowy winter mornings. I'm always glad to see that the government has done me the service of plowing out my street so that I can gel to work on time. If the street wasn't plowed, I probably would have called the city­ garage lo complain d've never had to). In the summer months, my family and I like to go for walks in the Yankee Springs Recreation Area, which was paid for by Big Government funds and is maintained with Big Government funds. And. when things aren't up to snuff, such as times when the trails are overgrown or are covered with someone's careless litter. I'm likely to complain that the government isn’t doing its job properly. This year. 1984. appears to be the ultimate year for Big Government. We worried for a generation about Big Government becoming Big Brother What we should have been worrying about instead were Big Deficits We've got a President who won election by­ declaring war on Big Government, but is spending more and borrowing more than any President in history. Well Steve Horton. I'd like to Llame Ronald Reagan for Big Government, or Jimmy Carter, or Gerald Ford, cr Ricliard Nixon, or Lyndon Johnson, or Franklin Roosevelt, or James Blanchard, or William Milliken, or George Romney or Soapy Williams, or even Kim Sigler. But. I can't. Instead, I’ll just blame 264)8-367-58-7940 Now that we've found the culprit, I’ll take my foot out of my mouth and my tongue out of my cheek and get back to the news. PUBLIC OPINION ...by Ken Reibel and Elaine Gilbert It was 20 years ago today the Beatles arrived in U.S. “Teenage drinking” editorial blasted To the Editor: I don’t know when I’ve read such an asinine editorial as the one in last week’s Banner regarding teenage drinking. The kind of "homework" law enforcement agencies and the prosecutor’s office are "supposed" to do to justify cracking down on this very real problem doesn't seem to be the real issue. So we have other "law en­ forcement problems" such as "larcenies, non-payment of child support or sexual misconduct." True — but do we stop sear­ ching for a cure for cancer because muscular dystrophy' or multiple- sclerosis still exist? Do we need statistics showing us the "main” cause of teenage drinking before we start trying to plug up some of the known gaps that permit this problem to continue’’ And since when does "education" cure a problem? Look at the sex education program we have had in our schools for a number of years. Has the “knowledge” our children gained made them less promiscuous? All you have to do is look at the high rate of teen pregnancies and abortions, and teenagers, who are still in reality children themselves, raising children without the benefit of marriage or a father in the home and you will find your answer. Syphillis and gonorrhea seem to have taken a back seat in some of our larger cities to make room for a newer and more sophisticated social disease called aIDS. Has education regarding substance abuse — which, by the way includes alcohol as well as prescription and other drugs — lessened this problem? Just what good is it going to do to get some statistics on “how many households are affected by teen alcohol abuse"? You talk to any parent cf teenager; — and I’m not just referring to irresponsible parents — and those of us who try to keep track of our kids and monitor their comings and goings still can't watch them 24 hours a day anymore than those parents whose kids seem to come and go as they please. Most teenagers are going to try drugs and other things we classify as "no-no's" and many of them are going to abuse these already illegal activities because there is always going to be a party store or someone hanging around a party store, a school parking lot or some other palce ready to furnish an illegal substance to any kid with a set of wheels who wants to buy. You ask "how can the people be made aware of a problem if they don't know the extent of it"? 1 ask you how much more extensive does it have to be before we become "aware" of it? Or where have you been all these years when we parents have had to deal with the consequences of this problem, either first-hand or when trying to soften the painthat comes with the death of a classmate as the result of an alcohol-related accident? Cracking down on party stores or any establishment selling alcohol is, I’ll admit, just a start. But it is a start. Holding adults or even non-adults legally accountable for knowingly furnishing alcohol to minors is another finger in the dike. If you have some miraculous cure-all for this ever-increasing problem, then let us in on it. If not, then let's not knock those who are trying in some small way to lessen it. Joann R.

Jill Blair Mike King Doug Acker Judy Walldorf! Art Steward John Haycook Herbert Moyer TimAltoft • QUESTION • It was Feb. 9. 1964 that four lads from Great Britain, named John. Paul. George and Ringo — The Beatles — made their debut on The Ed Sullivan Show, and neither popular music nor America has been the same since. To an America saddened by the recent assassination of a president. The Beatles sec-ined like nicer images of our­ selves. Why did we love the Beatles? Of the more than 200 songs they recorded, which are your favorites? Do you think The Beatles had a positive effect on pop culture? Jill Blair, take Odessa: "They played every type oi music, slow songs and fast songs." She says she likes all the Beatles* songs. She adds that today’s music is “No worse, and no better" for the Beatles. Doug Acker. Hastings: "At first, it was just the excitement that turned everybody on. Il was when I first started getting into music, loo Consequently. 1 learned to play guitar from Beatie's songs ..They were a good time, and they never let me down." Acker says it's "lough to come up with a favorite lune", so he offers four: "Strawberry Fields Forever”. "Yesterday", "All You Need is Love" and ’A Little Help From my Friends". Art Steward. Hastings: “I at the time thought their music was lousy Being commercially brought up and so on. But I think in the long run. their influence has been greater on American music over 20 years than any other group that's formed. Their music, by today's standards, is beautiful." Steward, a longtime band director at Hastings High School, said he wasn't used lo hearing "the type of sound” that The Beatles effected — "1 always hated guitars." John liaycook. Hastings: "The first time I saw The Beatles, and most pcjple credit Ed Sullivan, but 1 saw them on a film clip on The Jack Paar Show. They were filmed in Hamburg. Germany. I made a bet with my mother, when 1 heard they were coming to America, that this country's reaction would be different than Europe’s, where it was said everybody was going crazy. I didn't think it would happen here I lost the bet." Haycook said he didn't go crazy over the tab four in the early days. But as time went on 1 learned to appreciate them more Un­ doubtedly they put their harmonies, their restructuring of the rythm and blues into a pop synch sound It was hard not tu like them "Probably that group more than any other, when I hear certain songs 1 can slip right back towhat I was doing when the song w js big. When 1 hear their earlier sluff. I think of summer vacation, water skiing, toying around on the beach and sailing It brings me right back to growing up on a lake "I was on the takeview High School swim team, and we used to practice to the White Album, because we had speakers in the pool...I remember one song that we used to play, and our coach would get real mad about, and it was off the White Album, and it was called “Why Don't We Do It in the Road?" Tim King. Hastings: “I vaguely remember seeing them (on the Ed Sullivan Show. When they first came out 1 didn't like them but a couple of years later I definitely did. Their very first music I like the least. When ’hey started to mature a little bit then their music really got fantastic." Tim said he couldn't name a favorite Beatles' song because "there are too many to pick out one. The Beatles definitely had an effect on the whole era of rock and roll and popular music and musical history. They are definitely a force in music. They’re just a phenominal group. Judy Walldorff. Hastings: "Absolutely'' is her answer about liking the Beatles. She remembers seeing them debut on the Ed Sullivan Show and says "Hey. Jude" is her favorite song by the group. "I didn't realize all the years I was hearing their songs. There are jus* hundreds of them that I love that I had no idea who I was singing along with. I think they did have a positive effect on just about every phase of pop music that we’re hearing now. They started this whole thing — what is currently pop music." Herbert Moyer. Hastings: "1 think I did see it' the Beatles on Ed Sullivan) but I don’t have a clear recollection of it now. At the time when the Beatles started out in this country. 1 didn't think much of it at all. But in retrospect, there are a lol of the songs that they wrote and performed that became standards that 1 really like now." He said "Yesterday.' written by John Lennon, is "about as nice as any of them (Beatle songs). That s the kind of music I like” rather than the more up-bea' songs. He also said that “I'm certain that they must have had (a positive effect) — they've got so many­ imitators." Moyer also noted that the Beatles set a new hairstyle for boys. Tim Altoft. Hastings: "Yes. I can recall watching the Beatles on Ed Sullivan. I was about seven At the time 1 had a Princeton ihaircut) and after 1 saw them, that's the way I wanted towear my hair. Yes, I like the Beatles " He said his favorite Beatle songs are the entire side two of the Abbey Road album “They had a significant effect on rock music Each t member > has had his own effect...especially Paul McCartney and John I ennon more so than the others." �The Hastings Banner— Thursday.

You may deduct meal costs, toys, substitute sitters, repairs to your home in the specific area ’"here the children are housed, plus a portion of real estate taxes, insurance and utilities and phone in determining your net profit subject to the self­ employment tax. I would suggest you see a qualified tax preparer for this type of complicated return. <). I am a homemaker with a small business in my home. 1 receive cash for the service I render. I question whether my husband .reports all of the income from this service since he handle , all of our financial affairs in­ cluding our income tax return. When he brings it home after having it prepared by a professional person, he insists I simply sign the return without examining it. If he is not reporting all of the income ■ on this return, can I be held liable for the tax should the return be audited and the discovery made that all of the income was not repor­ ted? A. Yes. you are liable for everything that appears on your income lax return. However, the Congress recognizes that situations ukv iiiu» exist and they are working on a Bill at present that would tree you from liability for the signing of an income tax return containing information of which you had no knowledge.

Small business in Michigan continue to be on the increase The number of new small businesses in Michigan increased last year according to a report from the U.S. Small Business Ad­ ministration. Raymond L. Harshman, SBA’s Michigan District Director, said that new business incorporations, just about all of which represent small firms, rose nearly ten percent in Michigan during the first six months of 1983. In addition, an SBA estimate based on Dun & Bradstreet data shows that new business incorporations in the nation reached a record of about 600,000 during 1983. Harshman said "These figures clearly show that more and more men and women are interested in becoming their own bosses. This continuing rush to start new small firms is linked not only to that desire, but also to the economic recovery under which op­ portunities continue to expand. ’ "The new incorporations do not all represent new businesses," Harshman explained, "since some represent ongoing partnerships and sole proprietorships which are making legal or geographic changes. But the majority of the new incorporations do reflect the overall trend of more people starting their own enterprises."

She and her family are very contented with their presentday life in rural Hastings. Before her daughter Carla became in­ terested in goats as a 4-H project, Connie says, "I didn't remember ever seeing a goat before except in tiie zoo.” Now she’s the leader of a 4-H goat club. Taking care ot their 10-goats and some field calves is "a total family enterprise. The kids are heavily into it," she said. Although she was born in Chicago, Connie spent her childhood in the suburb of Glen­ wood where she graduated from high school. She later studied floral design, art, and in­ terior decoration at junior college. Connie worked at a floral shop in Chicago Heights Art Glass is just what the name century B.C.

Ron, operated his own locksmith business called Lock and Key in Evergreen Park before the family moved to Bloomingdale. Mi. He was later transfered to a job in Battle Creek and that's when the family decided to reside in Hastings. "We though Hastings would be a nice place to raise our family and get to know people.” They have been Hastings residents since 1979 and Connie says she has spent the majority of her years here keeping busy raising their children — Carla, 15, Robb. 13, and Amy, 7 — and being involved in 4-H. Now she also is a realtor associate with Century 21. Connie spent eight-years in 4-H when the family lived in VanBuren County and she immediately became active in the organization when she moved here. "4-H is one way for us to get to know people and helps us integrate into the com­ munity...4-H offers such a far-reaching program for all walks of life. "It's interesting." she says of the 4-H Connie Witzel. active 4-H leader and real estate salesperson, is ready to serve some squares of "So-Easy Fruit Cobbler '. It s her favorite recipe because it is so easy to fix and it’s something that is suited to everyone's taste". program. "One thing about 4-H is that it touches so many areas for adults and youth. It helps youth to realize there are so many things in the world to do." In addition to serving as the leader of the Galloping Goat Express 4-H Club for the past five years, Connie has been named the new president of the Barry 4-H Advisory Council. She also serves on two stale committees and is the chairman of one, the state dairy goat committee. The other is a state leadership committee which plan programs to sharpen the skills and knowledge of youth on a number of subjects as well as performing public service work. Last year, the state leadership committee theme was world hunger and this year it has a legislative twist so youth can learn more about the governmental process and current issues such as groundwater contamination and the proposal to lengthen the school year. In the community, Connie has served as the secretary for the St. I'.ose Parish Council and was a member of the Hastings Area Schools* curriculum study committee last year. Needlework is a favorite hobby and the family living room is decorated with some of Connie's work. A 24 by 30-inch "family sampler" is the focus on one wall. Connie designed and stitched it herself. In the center of the needlework is a replica of their home. Each family member's name is stitched on the sampler along with symbols of their hobbies. The family's Polish. German, and French heritage has been incorporated into the design too. When it comes to needlework, Connie says she likes needlepoint, counted cross stitch, crocheting and sewing and would like to learn to knit. Her first needlepoint project was a chess board. Connie also has a fondness for collecting old things..."some depression glass, baskets and junk...l try for organized clutter." Ceramics, painting and canning are other activities she enjoys. Gardening is a family project in which she participates. Often a jar of home canned fruit will be used in Connie’s favorite recipe which she shares with readers this week. It’s called "So Easy Fruit Cobbler." The recipe is one that can be fixed quickly and she says "its something that is suited to everyone's taste. She uses different spices to correspond with the type of fruit topping she uses in the recipe...almond with cherry topping and cinnamon with apple, etc. Connie’s “So-Easy” Fruit Cobbler Ingredients: 1-package white or yellow cake mix. l*4-sticks of oleo or butter. 1-egg, and a large can of pie filling or 1 quart canned fruit, drained, and sprinkled with 1teaspoon each flour sugar and cinnamon.

Page 8 Fishing changes (Continued from page 1) This is the last winter for legal spearing on Gun Lake The only reason why spearing is still legal this winter is because the DNR couldn't include the new policy, passed on Oct. 7 1983, in the latest fishing guidelines manual. Gun Lake has had a long history of a native muskellunge population. In the 1950s the muskellunge vanished. The DNR. however, decided to restock the lake wit.* the popular nothern and hybrid tiger muskellunge. Commencing in the late 1970s. the DNR annually stocked the lake with up to 10,000 muskellunge, thus picking up the reputation of being one of the state's top muskellunge lakes. Alward doesn't accept the contention that the panfish population is being lowered by the muskellunge. "From a professional standpoint I find it hard to believe it has that large of an effect," he says. "Certainly muskies do eat some fish, no question about that, and there are high numbers of muskies in the lake. "But we can’t s.,ow surveys on Gun Lake or any other lake that shows muskies have much of an effect on the panfish population. "We have researchers working on this and we can’t show muskies have an adverse effect." Akers says he has met with 27 other Gun Lake fishermen, some who have fished the lake for as many as 60 years, and they unanimously agree the muskies are the culprit. He says his group will put together a listof questions, designate a spokesman, and listen to the DNR’s answers during the Feb. 15 meeting. If the group doesn't like what it hears on that night, says Akers, it will seek answers from a higher DNR authority. "We will indicate to the DNR that we will go up their chain of command if the group isn't satisfied," says Akers. Specifically, the group wants to know if the DNR has fully considered the repercussions of using Gun Lake as a bi coding slock lake and if this will bring more muskellunge fishermen into the area. Akers contends the management plan could even affect property values on the lake as well as tourism. "A lot of people live on the lake because of the water and they devote a certain amount of their time to fishing,” says Akers. “If they feel it is a lost cause it will affect the value of their property. Fishing is an important factor in the life around the lake. The fishermen should have their rights protected." Alward doesn't feel the DNR is insensitive to the group's position. He admits the DNR wants its position known to the community. “We did not communicate effectively — let the people know — what we had planned, what was in store for the lake," he says. "The reason is we didn't expect we would be that successful in the muskie population. "Basically we wanted lo see how the planting of muskies would work out and go from there." Alward say's it isn’t uncommon for fishermen to complain about the lack of panfish on any lake. He calls that a "long standing problem," and that there are many other reasons why a panfish population might seem to be reduced. “You see that not only on Gun Lake but on other lakes as well." says Alward, who agrees with the theory that 90 per cent of the fish are caught by 10 per cent of lhe fisher­ men. "The perception of fishing quality isn't as good as it used tc be. People remember the good times but not the times they didn't catch fish." Alward agrees fishermen want the trophy­ sized muskies, and that's the DNR’s reasoning for stocking Gun Lake with the muskellunge. He acknowledges the long history of muskie on the lake. "They weren't as abundant as they are today,” he admits, "but I think lhe lake is more natural now than 10 years ago." Alward believes Gun Lake will keep its reputation as a lake with high fishing pressure, often with as many as 70,000 angler trips per year. He doesn't see the tourism or property values be affected. "I can't see wherg we ll reduce the lake's reputation as a good fishing lake." he says. Alward adds that the DNR, however, doesn't plan to take a hard-line attitude with the brooding stock program. "If we see that they (the residents) are that upset — that they don’t want muskies — then I guess we'll get out of the program,” he says. "There would be no reason to continue that program. We can change.the course of the program if there is no support."

Barrett has served in his position heading the state chamber since June 1, 1976. He is also president of the Michigan State Chamber Services, an organization which provides educational seminars and management services for lhe business community. Prior to joining the state chamber in 1971, he was a clerk at Oldsmobile Division of General Motors Corp.; an auditor for the Municipal Finance Commission, Michigan Dept, of Treasury; and later a budget analyst for the Michigan Dept, of Education. A Lansing native, he received a bachelor’s degree in financial administration from Michigan Stale University and a master’s degree in management from Aquinas College. He is a member of the board of directors of the Michigan Chamber of Commerce Executives; treasurer of Michigan Business PAC, a statewide business political action committee; vice-chairman of the Michigan the teachers. That base is de’eri lined by the increase teachers got last year. "What they ■ administrators! get next year will depend upon what teachers sign tor this year Right now that looks like it’s three percent.” He said the formula for administrators takes into consideration how much time they work and how much responsibility they have They also are paid according to experience in administration, up to five years. There is also a merit factor determined from an evaluation by Page. The board. Monday, also adopted a policy for "look alike drugs.” "We've had some problems with kids selling pills in school." as other districts have had. said Page With the "look alike drugs you can't tell whether these pills are real drugs or just look like speed and other street drugs." If a student is caught selling look alike drugs, under the new policy the student would be treated almost the same as if he or she had sold real drugs. Page said. The policy carries a suspension for the first offense and a possible expulsion for a second offense. Page said he hopes the new policy will discourage and curtail the problem Although the look alike drugs have no potancy, he said it could result in a dangerous situation. "Thekids buy these and think they are drugs and take them and the effects are about the same as two or three cups of coffee. They think that's how the drug affects them Then if they get a hold of the real thing and take the same amount, it could be disasterous. We feel there is a danger and we want to deal with it.” The board also voted to ask citizens to renew 2.5 mills for three years for operations. The millage proposal will appear on the June ballot during the annual school board election.

Three escape injury in rollover Police say seat belts saved the lives of three Lansing residents whose car was hit broadside and rolled over in a mishap on N. Broadway Friday evening. Hastings City Police said Robin Mitchell Warner, 32, of Lansing, was northbound on Broadway when his car was struck by a southbound vehicle attempting to turn left onto Woodlawn Ave. Officer George Winick said the southbound vehicle, driven by George W. Rose. Bedford Rd., misjudged the turn. Warner’s car was reportedly struck on the left side, after which it went out of control and slid sideways into the curve where it rolled over. The drivers of both cars were only slightly injured, and sought their own treatment. Warner's two passengers, both juveniles, were uninjured. Three passengers in Rose's car. also juveniles, were also unhurt. Rose received a ticket for careless driving. POLICE BEAT: Hastings man dies from injuries A 26-year-oki Hastings man died Monday from injuries sustained in a two-car mishap near Charlotte Friday afternoon. Loren Miller, Barber Rd., died at Pennock Hospital during surgery to repair a fractured left leg. according to family members, who said Miller was scheduled to undergo surgery on ? broken left arm later in the week. An Eaton County sheriff spokesman said the accident occurred Jan. 27, at 2:20 p.m. According to reports, Miller was southbound on S. Cochran St., one-mile south of Charlotte, and was turning left onto Bellvue Hiway when he was struck by a second southbound vehicle that was attempting to pass. The spokesman said Miller told deputies he had signaled a left turn prior to being struck. The driver of the second vehicle is iden­ tified as Lou Erwin Dobson. 74, of Albion. He reportedly suffered minor injuries. The spokesman said no citations have been issued, and that the mishap is under in­ vestigation. TWO MEN escaped injury Friday when their cars collided on Briggs Rd. near Chief Noonday Rd., when one of the vehicles at­ tempted to make a left turn. State police from the Hastings team said Bruce L. Mason. 25, Kalamazoo, was nor­ thbound on Briggs Rd. and was starting to make a left turn into a private drive, when the second vehicle, driven by Joseph W. Sarver. 36. Caledonia, attempted to pass him. Sarver was cited for passing in a no­ passing zone. Both cars were drivable following the incident. COURT NEWS: Pair plead guilty to joyriding Two Allegan County men pleaded guilty in Barry County Circuit Court Monday to joyriding, in connection with the Dec. 6 theft of a snowmobile. Sentencing for Clifton Leroy Homes. .9, Shelbyville, and Albert Lee Visser, 18. Martin, is scheduled for March 9. State police from the Hastings team say the pair stole the snowmobile after breaking into a garage in Yankee Springs Township. In exchange for the pair's plea of guilty to joyriding, the procecution agreed to drop charges of breaking and entering and unlawfully driving away a motor vehicle.

No further meetings to negotiate a con­ tract with them have been set. but Superintendent Gerald Page said Tuesday that he plans to contact the non-instructionai group to see if a meeting can be arranged "I’d like to get this settled." said Page. He commented that the picketing "was ail very peaceful" and that several attended the board meeting and "had an opportunity to speak but didn’t say anything." Teachers in the district also are working without a new contract, although a table agreement with the board has been signed. Page said a new teacher’s contract probably won't be ratified until sometime in March. In other business, the board approved new one-year salaries with increases in the three percent range for nine of the non-union supervisors and central office personnel. Those employees include the buildings and grounds manager, bus mechanic, tran­ sportation manager, food service manager, etc. Page said the board ratified a new threeyear contract with administrators last month. The contract provides for ad­ ministrators to receive a base increase of eight percent beginning July 1.

(Banner photo) SPORTS ...ata glance by Steve Vedder Thursday’s Best Idle ramblings on a slow Thursday: You want a sleeper in the for­ thcoming district basketball tour­ nament in Hastings? Try Delton. Will somebody tell me whether it's best to use mink oil or that gloveolium jazz on a baseball glove? I like what Mike Maciasz has done with the Lakewood basketball program. Roily Krauss had wheelbarrow loads of talent to work with, but Maciasz gets the most out of what he has. Somebody’s getting old department: I remember watching Maciasz play college basketball at Olivet. He was devastating. Bill Freider had better shape up or...gulp. I'll switch over to Notre Dame. Sorry, but I'm glad to see the Spartan program in such shambles. Somebody had work a little Magic, huh? 1 can’t help but to compare Mark Brown’s first twe years with those of former MSU eager Randy Morrison when he was a sophomore and junior. Morrison played a bigger, stronger game, but Brown is the better outside shooter. Rate passing even. When has Hastings had a better onetwo wrestling combination than Hutch Clason and Dave Kensington? I assume Morgan Fairchild nixed the dinner opportunity. Wonder if she plays term is? J can’t wait for spring. Give Kelly Yarger credit for a solid job of coaching volleyball in only her first year. Middleville has the best basketball pep band in the county. That alone sends me to Middleville every once in a while. Hmmm. Southern Michigan Athletic Association basketball teams are only 13-22 outside the conference while ’he Twin Valley is 14-19. On the other hand, the O-K Blue is a remarkable 26-13 and the Tri River 23-22. If jogging is so good for us, why do I feel so awful after I’ve bee-bopped around for about 15 minutes? The Olympics have become an overkill just like every other major sporting event in this country. Too bad. Idle thought: Why doesn’t somebody in Hastings organize a summer trip to Tiger Stadium? Here’s one customer I hope mud wrestling misses the Barry County Fair this summer. Speaking of summer. I wish it would hurry. I wasn't made for winter Favorite interview: Sparky An­ derson. Anybody that can talk baseball 24 hours a day. 52 weeks a year for 12 months can’t be all bad. It's no secret: Hastings can win its third straight district provided but it's all up to the frontline. Either they come around or Hastings goes down. Aside note to Dave Storms: How about opening up a gym on Sunday for a little basketball? Spring training is less than two weeks away. I'd love to have '.'inch with Isiah Thomas. Really now. who cares about the minor league USFL? Please don’t tell me how they could compete against the NFL. Idle thought No. 2: I wonder if slow pitch softball will continue on the downslide. Aside note to Mike Klovanich: I'm going to be in your office again in about eight weeks asking where softball teams can practice in the spring. Geez, I hope Morgan can free herself for tennis. Wonder if she knows where Hastings is’ Maybe the bosses will send me to Los Angeles for the summer Olympics. On second thought, maybe they better not. I'd wind up in San Diego Some weeks you just can't write a column. When's the last time you’ve seen two county wrestling teams as strong as the Middleville and Delton squads Aside note to Jock Clarey: I'm going to show up al your door one of these mornings and we’re going to do that column like it or not. Idle thought No. 3: Why docs everybody think being a sportswriter s so easy? March madness is my favorite time of the year. The snow is melting, spring is in sight, and the best prep basketball of the year is played. Amazing category: I doubt if I've ever seen a better individual effort than when a crippled Mark Brown battered Albion in Hastings’ 71-68 win on Jan. 3. Just my opinion: The ESPN an­ nouncers are 10 times better than anything the networks offer us. Aside note to Ray Page: Sorry to see you step down. Isn’t North Carolina just an awesome college basketball team? 1 don't care how the judge rules on Billy Sims, his credability is shot with me. Two more things on Mark Brown and then I II shut up < 1 > He shouldn't rule out going to a Mid American school and <21 He honestly cares more about wins than points The visiting cheerleader watches intently as Mark Brown glides down the court, fakes the defensive man into the parking lot. and then slips in another easy basket. The young girl, clad in the red and white outfit, turns to the cheerleader standing next to her and blurts. "He's the whole show isn’t he?" Mark Brown, the complete all-stater, is used to such chatter. He doesn’t, however, have to agree with it. "I know that isn't true." says Brown of the "one-man show" comparisons. “No one person can be the whole team. I can’t do anything without my team mates, nobody can. "If somebody says something like that I figure either they don’t know what they’re talking about or they just haven't seen us play much." One gels the impression from talking to the articulate and forthright Brown that he actually means what he says about the team coming first and his exploits second It isn't false modesty. Mark Bro.vn isn't some home computer programmed to spew out the appropriate answers people want to hear The son of an ex-basketball coach means exactly what he says. For example, when asked of the pressures he’s forced to play under. Brown can only shaxe his head and shrug. • "I don’t feel I have to score x number of points every game." he says during a break at school. "Once I get playing 1 try to do what it takes towin. I try Iodo whatever is best for the team. "The only pressure is that I want to play well. If a friend of my father's comes to the game I want to play well for him. If a recruiter comes I want to play well for him." Scoring points by the truckload — something as natural to Brown as dates to Thomas Magnum — is no big deal He doesn't ponder the fact his 1,430 career points puts him in reach of the all-time state record of 2,841 points held by Jay Smith of Mio AuSable. Brown doesn't bat an eye if you bring up the fact his 917 points last year was an alltime record for sophomores and the third highest single season total ever. He is indifferent to the fact he already holds five Twin Valley scoring records and numerous school marks. Hey, he says, those records and numbers just give bored sportswriters something to write about. The real pressure, he says, begins when the slash marks start coming in the L column of the standings. "The pressure is in trying to win." admits Brown. "I don't want to let the team or myself down. I never really think about dominating a game or having to play well for us to win. "I never have. Really." Are you sure? "Points don’t mean anything." he con­ tinues, making a face. "Look at all the great players — better players than I'll ever be — who have played and haven’t set any records. That doesn't show how great a player you •vere." Brown realizes the college scouts are watching his progress like a hawk seeks out prey. He’s heard from close to 100 colleges including every Big 10 team except Ohio State. He lists Michigan State, Michigan. Purdue and Notre Dame as his top four college choices, but his mind is still very much open as to where the final choice is going to be. "Wherever I choose to go. it'll be where I can play," he says. He is asked about committing before his senior year to avoid any extra pressure? "If I find the situation I like. I'll commit early,” he nods Nowadays, sports sections of newspapers are packed with horror stories of the unethical college recruiters pressuring the poor 1“ and 18-year old high school phenoms. Recrul’ing is like those old Saturday morning cartoons where the nasty man with the mustache and long black coal ties the pretty damsel to the railroad tracks and waits lor the train to come roaring along. She either signs up to marry him or becomes much thinner the hard way. Brown says the recruiting process, at least so far. has been relatively painless "With me it’s not a hassle,” he says, choosing his words carefully "It’s my college education I'm talking about. Yeah. I'm gonna play basketball in college, but I'm going to school there too. "I'm going there to get an education. That's what is important " Brown has already played against college­ level competition last summer al a basketball camp at Princeton. There 20 of by Steve Vedder The chant began weeks ago and continued through the long awaited game on Tuesday night. Delton's vocal student body, in no un­ certain terms, was laying in wait for Hastings. Their chants of "We want Hastings." had rattled the Panther gym­ nasium for weeks. On Tuesday night in Hastings, the Delton players had their chrnce to back up the boasts of the student body. And the Panthers didn't flub their chance. Using some clutch free throw shooting down the stretch, the Panthers were able to hold off the Saxons 72-65 in a jagged and physical game in Hastings. The win, Delton’s fifth in a row, left the red hot Panthers with a 11-3 record. Hastings, losers of three straight and four of its last six, falls to 9-5 More importantly — though both coaches Saxon Sports at a Glance VOLLEYBALL........................................... ot Marshall at 5:30 BASKETBALL................................................

It is those type of "fans" which fail miserably in realizing the endless hours of work a player of Brown’s stature must put into hts game. "People are always asking me about that." notes Broun of the extra work. "It's something I do. 1 like to do it otherwise I wouldn’t do it." A small, almost sheepish smile crosses the face of Brown as another thought enters his mind. ”1 like the challenge of playing a perfect game." he says "You can’t do it. 1 know, but I like to try."

We'll forget it," shrugged a disapointed Saxon coach Denny O'Mara. "We’ll build on the positive and forget the negative ’’ Delton coach Paul Blacken likewise agreed with his coaching counterpart. "I don't think it means that much." nodded Blacken. "It was just two teams with a lot of emotion that didn’t play too smoothly. 1 assume both teams will play better next dme." The game, like the first-year Panther coach acknowledged, was a rough affair. Al the end, the game came down to free throw shooting and there Delton excelled. The Panthers hit 30 of 43 from the line while Hastings hit 15 of only 23 shots. Delton banged home eight of 10 free throws — including five by Rick Hurdlebrink — down the stretch to keep the Saxons at bay. "We just fouled too much,’.’ admitted O’Mara, who obviously was not thrilled with some of the officials' calls. "Sometimes when you play against bigger people that happens." The Panthers had led 50-47 going into the final period and had increased that margin to as much as 6047 with just under six minutes left. But the plucky Saxons wouldn't roll over. They cut the margin to two points twice in the last two minutes, the second time at 67-65 with 36 seconds to go. But Hurdlebrink hit a free throw while Wayne Bourdo and Steve Tuin hit a pair to Saxon streak ends The Hastings wrestling team’s five-match winning streak ended with a 44-23 loss to Jackson Northwest on Feb. 2.

O'Mara classified his team’s shooting as “poor." He also noted the frontline couldn't seem to grab the big rebound al the critical lime. Eventually three of the four Saxon key frontliners fouled out. "When we didn't force up shots we made up some points," said O'Mara. "I thought our kids did a come job cf coming back. We were down by 11 but we came back. We just missed some key shots. “We’ve lost three games now bin we aren’t done yet. I saw some improvements out there.” Individually. Mark Brown finished with 43 points, including 14 in a frustrating fourth quarter. Mike Matthews added nine and Todd Bucher six. Jay Henry led Delton with 20 points whle Brett McBeth scored 12 and Tuin 10. Hur­ dlebrink finished with nine. Spikers up, down The erratic Hastings volleyball team remained on its roller coaster with a stun­ ning upset of Sturgis and a disapointing loss to Charlotte. The Saxons beat Sturgis 15-8, 15-8. The Trojans had won 36 straight dual matches and had never lost to Hastings. “We played excellent," said Hastings coach Kelly Yarger. "We were real fired up and I think we shocked Sturgis." Later that same night Hastings beat Albion 7-15, 15-5, 16-14. Yarger said the team naturally let down mentally after the Sturgis win. but still played well enough to win. Erin Jacobs had 11 points, Tammy Conner seven and Teri Kessenich five against Sturgis. Heather Barnes and Connor each had 10 points against Albion. Charlotte upended Hastings 2-15, 12-15 in Charlotte. Yarger said the difference bet­ ween the Sturgis and Charlotte meets was like night and day. "I knew they were tired from Friday's meet. We had never had a Monday game before,” said Yarger. “We just looked terrible. Nothing went right for us." The Saxons, mainly through poor serving, fell behind 104) in the first game before rallying to cut the margin to 10-7.

Seven turkey hens from out-of-state found a new home last week in the Barry Game Area. The hens had been snow trapped in northern Pennsylvania — a climate and geography similar to southern Michigan's then flow last Thursday to Lansing and released later that day. Dept, of Natural Resource personnel aie hoping the newcomers will strengthen the genetic strain, as well as add numbers to the local bird population. Plans are to import and release some roosters later this winter. • Turkeys do best in foothills where there’s oak. springs and seeps, and pines to roost in," said John Lerg, DNR wildlife biologist at the Plainwell office. “We've released them in a part of the game area that has those qualities and hopefully they'll do well." The Pennsylvania-bred turkeys are being released in other parts of the state as well. "They are a different genetic strain than the Michigan turkey and hopefully this will make them more adaptable," said Lerg, noting that earlier efforts io plant turkeys in the state have not produced a large population. The bird does have a hunting season, but that’s opened on a restricted basis. "These small colonies should eventually grow to 20-to-25 birds and they seem to hold up,” he added. "We hope to go back in three Lerg said that the biggest problem with getting successful turkey plantings is poaching. or four years, snow trap some of them, then release them quickly in another area.

General Outdoor Conditions: We made it through another freeze — temperatures are back up around the 20s, making it much nicer to be outdoors. Other than flurries, no new snow has fallen in the Plainwell area although just south of us received quite a bit yesterday. There was a bit of a thaw last week but we still have a good 2 foot + base. Fishing: Some big smelt being taken at Gull Lake — up to nine inches — on jig poles after dark with lanterns. Also pretty good success for pike on this lake; a 25 pounder was taken last week. Wildlife: A few words on feeding deer — it is not recommended. Not only are problems created in the deer’s digestive system but damage to nearby vegetation also occurs. The deer need roughage to go with the food provided and will use trees and shrubs in the feeding area. Also, the metabolic rate of deer drops in winter, therefore they need less food. So far this winter, deer are getting along adequately in this district and do not need supplemental feeding. With the recent thaw followed by cold weather, a good crust condition has developed, making it pretty easy for deer to get around. The bad side is that dogs are traveling easier, too, and complaints are starting to come in already of dogs chasing deer. It is specially important this time of year to keep your dogs tied up or indoors (for their own good as well as the deer’s). Bird feeders are attracting a good number of hawks lately, basically the Coppers Hawk which is quicker and has a diet mainly of birds. There isn't much a person can do to proven* this; you might try putting the feeder so that it is surrounded by cover. The hawks are pretty fascinating to watch themselves and anyway they have to eat. too. There are more rabbits out but the weather has been so cold that even when hunters venture out they are not having much suc­ cess because rabbits are staying close to their holes and not giving dogs much of a chance. Sen. Welborn named to new committee State Senator Bob Welborn (R-Kalamazoo) has been named a charter member of a newly-formed committee on high speed rail service. The Lansing-based group which calls itself the High Speed Rail Committee is comprised of a broad-based coalition of citizens, business, labor and govern­ ment leadership from Michigan, Indiana and Illinois. Welborn, who serves as a member of the Senate Ap­ propriations Sub-Commitiee on Transportation, said the goal of the committee “is to encourage privately financed implementation of a new high speed train service between Detroit and Chicago." “Obviously, the strength of Michigan's economic future rests heavily with a well balanced transportation network capable of moving people and products throughout the state,’’ Welborn said. He pointed out that if such a high speed rail service is found to be financially feasible for private in­ vestors, it could provide a strong shot in the arm to Michigan's economy. "Approximately 68,000 construction jobs, up to 13,000 operating jobs. 100,000 service sector positions, and Two local students get high ranking A total of 3.191 Purdue University students received distinguished-student rank for the fall semester of the 1983-84 school year, in­ cluding two from Hastings. They were Kevin L. Baum of 620 W. Indian Hills Dr., his major in freshman engineering, and Sandra L. Spindler of 1935 N. Broad­ way. her major in computer technology. Scholastically, the students represented ap­ proximately the top 12 percent of the 26,675 un­ dergraduates on the West Lafayette cam pus during the first semester. In order to qualify for distinguished ranking, a student must have a grade index of at least 5.5 <B + » of a possible 6 (A> in no fewer than 14 academic credit hours. The student may have no grade below 4(0. thousands of new jobs in expanded office, retail and commercial development and the tourism industry could be possible," Welborn said The committee will hold its first meeting in six to eight weeks.

Box 188, Hastings, Ml. 49058 Gun Lake Chamber letter demands accountability A letter distributed to four township boards by the Gun Lake Chamber of Commerce demands accountability by the boards before any rate hike is put into effect with regard to the Gun Lake sewer. The chamber has also brought the sewer system’s finances to the attention of the state attorney general and area legislators. John Rough, vice-president of the Gun Lake Area Chamber of Commerce, said lake residents want some answers. The letter reads: "We feel that a thorough investigation of the sewer authority management and its policies must be conducted to properly assess rate structures and methods of operation. Allegations of mismanagement and-or misuse of funds are deeply disturbing and must be addressed. This investigation must take place prior to making any or­ dinance policy or rate changes. "We emphatically endorse a posture of accountability in the operation of this facility, into its finances and the conduct of its board. Such a posture is imperative if the sewer authority is to retain and ultimately regain the credibility that has suffered as a result of this situation. "We're committed to insuring public disclosure of information pertinent to the situation, and we charge the responsibility not only to the agents of the sewer authority, but also to the representatives of townships, counties and other bodies having a vested interest in sewer authority activities." "What we are asking for is a response to some of these allegations," said Rough. "Were not accusing anyone, this is no vendetta. We just want some answers." "I think there’s a lot of ways to approach this problem other than socking it to the people. That’s the easy way ait.” Gun Lake sewer, continued Robert Bendzinski, of the Detroit financial consulting firm of Bendzinski and Co., said the problem is not immediate, but still must be dealt with soon. “You can get by without raising the rates...The probiem is that one year from now, or five years from now, you’ll be looking at horrendous rate increases." Bendzinski told assembled township boards, “You pledged your full faith and credit, and unlimited taxing power, behind those bonds, and in the event that you do not have sufficient revenues or. hand to meet your debt service payments, you are obligated to levy a tax over the entire township, not just the service area." He said that the method chosen in 1978 to defray the debt was connection and service fees, and the $2.75 debt service as part of the monthly usage fees. Bill VanHouten, Yankee Springs Township supervisor, and GLASA board member, said the equivalence that each customer pays has been changed "from day one" VanHouten, whose township contains twothirds of the sewer’s customers, said originally all customers were to have paid $2,700 in connection and service fees, residential and commercial alike. VanHouten said he is agreeable to taking rate hikes one year at a time. "If that's what the people want to go for, fine. In a year, we can take another look at it.” Russ Stanton, Orangeville Township supervisor and GLASA member, said the township's attorney, Richard Hudson, will recommend a course of action at the Feb. 22 meeting. "He has all of the information, and he's going over it, and will come back with a recommendation." Stanton cited several reasons for the shortfall. "The biggest portion as I see it is the negotiable part with the commercial people, where they negotiated the cost of the hookups, and the equivalency factors,” said Slantoa “It isn’t the residential people that we’re having trouble with. It’s the number of hookups that we lost through negotiation,” said Stanton. Stanton said another problem occurred because the engineers "misrepresented the number of hookups", so that the financial advisors did not have the right figures to draw up a payment plan for the bonds. Stanton said the problem also arose because people did not realize the extent of the problem from the beginnkig. "It is a real mess, and I feel the sooner we can get it straightened out, the better off we will be," said Stanton. Joe Panyrek, who owns a groc?ry store at the corner of Patterson and Chief Noonday Rds., said most lake residents are wondering why the $2.75 per month was not set aside for debt retirement. “The $9.25 didn’t (operate the system), so they went ahead and used the whole $12 and didn't say anything about it. That's why we’re short now. And it took them three years or more to find out that wasn t being done,” said Panyrek. "I think it was done without too much knowledge of anybody," said Panyrek.

Trooperbiamed for traffic mishap A Michigan State Police trooper from the Hastings team is blamed for a two car mishap that took place Sunday evening on M-37, near Yankee Springs Rd. Lt. Richard Zimmerman of the Hastings team said Trooper Robert Norris had just completed a traffic stop of a van, and was pulling a U-turn on the highway when he ran into a south­ bound vehicle driven by Teresa Kooiman, 19, of Moe Rd., Middleville. Zimmerman said there were no in­ juries as a result of the collision. He said Norris was parked on the shoulder of M-37. facing norch, prior to the Uturn, and tha\ the van may have ob­ structed Norris' view of oncoming traffic before he turned. Three demand exam for break-in Three Oakland County men have demanded exam in Barry County District Court after their arrest early Monday morning in connection with the break-in of and theft from a garage in Middleville. The three men are identified as Kirk Timothy Rivers. 20, Davisburg, Chester Robert Jones. 20. Holly, and Kevin David Reynolds. 20. Holly. Bond for Rivers was set at $3,500 cash or surety, and $2 500 cash or surety for Jones and Reynolds. Their examination is scheduled for Friday at 10 a.m. Lt? Richard Zimmerman of the Hastings State Police team said his department received a call at about 1:50 a.m. from Charles Keller, Peets Rd., who told officers there were several men with flashlights near his house. Zimmerman said that while in route to the scene, troopers observed a lone car parked near the Keller residence, and followed it to the corner of Bowens Mill and Whitmore Rds., where they stopped it. Zimmerman said troopers questioned the three subjects, and observed several items in their vehicle, but let them go "because of limited in­ formation." Troopers then returned to the Keller residence, where the owner described several items which he said were missing from the garage, including a refrigerator, hydraulic car jack, and a portable television set. A description of those items, said Zimmerman, mat­ ched the items found in the suspect vehicle. Troopers radioed surrounding police agencies to be on the lookout for the suspect vehicle, which was stopped by Hastings City Police a short time later. All three were lodged in the Barry County Jail pending their arraignment Monday. The Hastings City Council Monday night set a Feb. 27 hearing date on a proposed commercial redevelopment district for the Striker House. “The planning commission feels that this particular property is a prime example of what that particular law was passed to help accomplish." said Dave Jasperse, Hastings City Planning Commission chairman. Spaghetti supper planned Steve Meisenboch practices pouring some water for Anna Loftus (left) and Cherie Bradley. These three and other members of the Senior High Presbyterian Youth are making plans for a Spaghetti Supper at the church on Saturday, March 3, between 5:30 and 7:30 p.m. Tickets to the dinner will be $4 for adults and $2.50 for children under 12. Money raised from the event will help the youths return this summer to the upper peninsula on a special work project. County board urged to fight tax increases by Steve Horton Former Commissioner and Algonquin Lake resident Richard Dean gave a spirited presentation to the current Board of Com­ missioners, urging them to take a strong stance against the state Tax Commission’s decision to taise the property valuation in Barry County. The county's SEV (state equalized valuation) was raised 2.16 percent this year by the Barry Equalization Dept, at the direction of the State Tax Commission. That 2.16 percent hike in valuation is, in turn. spread through the county by the 16 township supervisors and the Hastings city assessor under the direction of the county equalization department. "The SEV is going up again in the county," Dean began his remarks, "even though for the past several years property values in the county and the state have been going down drastically." That drop in values, Dean added, can be confirmed by any number of studies. Noting that he was a legal "level one assessor”, Dean said that “each year we get the same story (from the state Tax Com­ mission) that our values have gone up and not down". Dean noted that the Commission has been using the few sales that went above market value to justify raising the assessments for similar properties, but is not taking into account the "thousands of sales not made because of low property values”. Continued on Page 4 Haines seeks register's slot The hearing is scheduled for 7:45 p.m. Jasperse said the commission recom. mended that the district be established for five years, the maximum amount of time permitted by the City of Hastings. The Striker House was purchased in January by Everett and Chi Oi Bieber of Middleville. The couple said they will restore the properly and open a restaurant. If all goes according to plan, council will establish a commercial redevelopment district, consisting solely of the Striker House, following the Feb. 27 hearing, after which the Biebers must apply for a tax exemption certificate. Council must then hold a second public hearing, within 60 days of the application, for approval of the cer­ tificate. Under P.A. 255, a municipality can establish a separate tax roll for a building The Hastings which has undergone restoration. The act permits the city to abate city, county and school property taxes to encourage com­ mercial development. The city can freeze the existing, or "pre­ project" assessed valuations on real property, exclusive of land, for a maximum of 12 years, if the rehabilitation of a com mercial facility is involved. Improvements to the facility, as part of the project, would be spared from the property taxes during the abatement. At a Dec. 5, 1983 meeting of the Hastings Planning Commission, city planners passed on to the council for adoption numerous points to be covered during a balding project review, including: — The project must show incentive. A specific redevelopment district must be established by the city council before a project starts. — The project must show public purpose, notably, but not exclusively, an increase or retention of employment, and-or immediate area revitalization. — The project will be subject to public hearing and city council scrutiny. — The project must be located on a site Continued on Page 4 Banner Devoted to the Interests of Barry County Since 1856 Volume 129, No. 7 which has been zoned industrial or com­ mercial since June 21, 1975. — The project will not preclude the use of tax-exempt bonding or other forms of assistance — The project will be subject to fees established by the city to partially cover the costs of administration The planning commission also sent to council a checklist for handling requests to establish commercial redevelopment districts: — Preliminary discussion with the plan­ ning commission prior to application — Applicant prepared application for district, submitted to city clerk — Planning commission reviews ap­ plication and makes recommendations to council — If recommended for approval, council makes a motion to set a date for public hearing. Owners of all real property within the proposed district would be notified by certified mail, and a notice of a public hearing would be published. — After the hearing, council adopts a resolution approving district Hastings, Michigan Price 20s February 16, 1984 T\nq face off in M’ville primary Voters in the Village of Middleville will choose between a longtime, incumbent village president, and a newcomer to politics, when they vote Feb. 20 in the village's primary election. Marge Loew, 35,203 Grand Rapids St., said she is running against incumbent Robert Sullivan because "I think we need some changes.” Both individuals are listed as Democrats on the ballot. The term of village president runs for two years. The final election will be held March 12. Without giving specifics. Loew questioned Sullivan's “fairness” in dealing with city employees, and said "I feel things could be handled differently." She added that she has been attending village council meetings for two years. Loew, who works as a full-time seam­ stress, lives with her husband, Tom. The Nashville election review on page 2 couple have three children, all boys. She said that in the pest, she has been active in scouting in the Middleville area, and working with senior citizens. Sullivan. 59, has been village president since the summer of 1979, when he took over that office upon the death of formerPresident Bud Summers. He was first elected to village office in 1959, as president, and remained there for three one-year terms. Between 1966 and 1971, he worked as the director of the Office of Zoning, Planning and Building for Barry County. In 1976, he returned to the Village Council, this time as a councilman. It was mid-way through the last year of his four-year term when he became village president once again. "I’ve never had a complaint from my employees," said Sullivan. “There isn't anything I couldn't ask for day or night. They've done a heck of a job." Sullivan said he will continue to work to strengthen Middleville's industrial base, and cited a close relationship with industrial leaders. Although labelled a Democrat on the Feb. 20 ballot, Sullivan said "I am an in­ dependent, not a party men.” Also appearing on the Feb. 20 primary ballot, though unnopposed, is David Tubergen, who is listed as a Republican. He will appear on the March 12 ballot, with the winner of the Feb. 20 primary. Tubergen, 27, 211 Meadowlark, said he is running for the top village post because “The village president we have now is ineffective. It's been published in the Grand Rapids Press that he s'ts on his hands." Tubergen, who is employed with T&W Electronics in Grand Rapids, said it is time for the village tc "Move in a direction of bringing in up to date industry, and serviceoriented suppliers. We have to concentrate on keeping the industries tl*at we have here.” He added that attracting new industry to town "is a distant second, but something we must pursue.” Tubergen has served the past three years on the Middleville Planning Commission, the past year as chairman. He is a member of the Middleville Jaycees, and said he has that organization's official support in his bid for village presidency. He lives with his wife, Cindy. The couple have two children, a boy and a girl. Also appearing on Middleville's March ballot are five unopposed candidates tor city council, four of which are incumbents, the village clerk, and the village treasurer. Mork Haines of Hostings will be a Republican candidate for the position of Barry County Register of Deeds. Mark Haines, an appraiser in the Barry County Equalization Office and a Hastings resident, has announced that he will be a Republican candidate for the position of county register of deeds in the August primary A 1972 graduate of Hastings High School. Haines holds a bachelor of arts degree in business from Michigan State University. He has been employed in the equalization office since June of 1982. He is certified at the 'i'praiser II level, and he passed the level III exau. last December. After two years ex­ perience as an appraiser this June, he will become certified al the level III status.

One of the few places in Barry County to show the effects of the spring thaw is the flood plain off Borger Road, which lies just northwest of Thornapple Lake, where Mud Creek flows. River levels could rise again, though, as the weatherman is calling for rain Thursday night, and occasional light rain throughout the day Friday. �The Hostings Banner— Thursday. February 16, 1984. Page 2 VIEWPOINT: Commentaries from our editorial staff and the community — Editorial Gun Lake sewer: The solution must be fair Some of the people involved in the controversy over the rates charged by the Gun Lake Area Sewer Authority seem to be more concerned about finding a scapegoat than arriving at a fair and equitable solution. The users of the system have the right to demand accountability. The failure of the authority's officials to foresee the need for higher user fees was unfair to the users, who have the right to know what they are going to be paying for the service. The users should know where the financial mistakes occurred so that they can he prevented in the future. In addition, theauthority could have prevented a lot of controversy by giving the public more notice of the proposed rate hikes and letting its story be told in ad­ vance instead of at a heated meeting. We’ve found ’hat, for the most part, citizens can understand problems and will agree with rational solutions if they are presented with the facts and an opportunity to have them explained clearly. People want their government officials to work in the open and the majority of the people will understand what it takes to keep government units in sound financial con­ dition. Christensen gets student of month award Thursday Hastings High School senior Joel Christensen, son of Mr. and Mrs. James Christensen. 1872 E. Mill Rd., Hastings, is the Exchange Club of Hastings' "Student of the Month". Christensen, cited for his scholastic, athletic and civic activities, was presented the award at Thursday's club meeting at the Tick Tock Restaurant "I have known Joel for about three years and if there is one word that could describe Joel, it would have to be the word positive," David Storms, club member and director of the Hastings YMCA-Youth Council, said when presenting the award. "No matter what Joel does, from working as the president of the Key Club, to working with kids on the summer playgrounds, Joel always approaches everything in a positive way." Storms said that one of Christensen's references recommending him for the award said that he attacks every task with vigor and confidence. Christensen co-caplained the varsity football team this fall, where he played split end. Healsowill be co-captain of the baseball team, where he is a catcher. He played basket (ball for three years and is a member of the Varsity Club, the Key Club, the Recreation Youth Council, the First Presbyterian Church senior high youth group and was involved in the 1983 prom committee In addition, he carries a 2.967 grade point average. During the summer months, he works for the Youth Council in its summer playground program. He recently was named an Eagle Scout in the Boy Scouts of America. "I guess I have only two wishes.” Storms told the club. “One. that I could find six tn ten other individuals that lead and interact with kids as well as Joel does, and secondly, like his baseball coach. Mr. (Bernie) Oom said. I hope my sons grow up just like him." As part of receiving the award from the Exchange Club. Christensen was requried to write an essay to present to the award selection committee, headed by LaVerne BeBeau. See Page 11 for student essay. AAUW members continue their education efforts No good will come from either side seeking a scapegoat to blame for the sewer system s poor financial condition. The figures show that in the future, the fees being charged will not be enough to pry off the bonds. Solving that problem is the important part of the controversy, not laying blame. There are several solutions which deserve study. The most obvious solution rs to have the users pay the cost of operating the system and paying off the bonds. Some of the users feel that because the authority presented them with inaccurate figures earlier, the users should not now be obligated for the full cost of the indebtedness. We're not so sure. Further study is needed on this issue. Another solution is to have the four townships involved in the system levy millages across the full townships to pay off the difference between the amount that ’hesystem raises in user fees and the amount needed to pay off the bonds. The Michigan Townships Association says that the township boards, in this case, can levy such a tax. without a vote of the people, because they pledged their full faith and credit behind the bonds. The question here is not whether the township boards have the right to take such an action, but whether, politically, it is the fairest solution. Only one percent of the sewer system serves Martin Township. Should the entire township be obligated for the cost of the bonds? A third solution would be todivide the obligation among the four townships based upon the percentage of the system which serves the township. Current billing figures of the authority show that about 67 percent of the users are in Yankee Springs Township, 28 percent are in Orangeville, three percent are in Wayland and. as we said, one percent in Martin. If the township boards decide that the users should not have to shoulder the entire cost, this then, seems to be a practical way to split the bill. There may, however, be some legal issues to study and these should be clearly understood before any action is taken. .-Irrthe final analysis, the most important ingredient to the solution is to make • stffeit is fair to all parties involved. Nobody likes higher taxes or higher service fees, but somebody is going to have to pay the debt because the governments in­ volved pledged their full faith and credit to the bondholders. Most candidates unopposed in Nashville In Nashville, four Republican candidates will vie for three village trustee seats openings, when voters to the polls Feb. 20 for a primary election.

Preston Campbell Elsie Furrow Harry Adrounie Lin Hough • QUESTION • President Reagan has projected a deficit of $183.7 in the current fiscal year, and an additional $813.4 billion through 1989. Critics, including one of the President's financial advisors, say these figures are unacceptable, and will stunt the current economic recovery. Reagan and his supporters say the deficit is unavoidable. Congressional leaders see three basic ways to trim the deficit: by increasing taxes, cutting spending, or a combination of the two. What do you think? Can the U.S. weather a 12-figure deficit? Does the deficit worry you? Stuart Keeler. Hastings: "Yes. il does worry me. We could be back in the same economic situation as when Carter was in office. With the larger deficit, the govern­ ment has to borrow more, which in turn increases the competition for dollars. When the government wants money, interest goes up and things like housing starts fall. Businesses can't expand without credit, and that hurts employment. "In the long run. though, it could work its way out Reagan’s philosophy is good, but you have to worry about higher deficits It looks like recovery is coming, but I also worry about the higher deficit ” Tom Hildreth. Hastings: "We've got to do something...Reagan hasn’t done a bad job But they’re going to have to cul spending." Hildreth said the government could save money by eliminating "unnecessary jobs", adding. ‘I know they’ve got some." Hildreth does not like the idea of more taxes. "I don’t need to pay anymore taxes. We should keep the dollars at home, instead of spending it overseas." Don Reid. Hastings: "I think the budget should be cut, but I don’t know how " He suggested cutting "waste programs" and "defense spending ..we’re spending *oo much on defense.” Preston Campbell. Hastings: "My opinion is the President's gone way overboard on defense. He hasn't done anything he said Stuart Keeler Marguerite Aukerman Don Reid Tom Hildreth ne'd do. If he’s re-elected, he’ll raise the deficit more.” Campbell said he will not vole for Reagan this fall. Elsie Furrow. Hastings: "I think it (the large federal deficit) is harmful I think it harms all of us. I'm so used to working on a balanced budget. This isn't a popular opinion, but I'd be in favor of a higher income tax to get rid of it ..wipe it out." Lin Hough. Hastings: "I don’t think it (the large federal deficit) is good for us...More curbing of spending is necessary. It's going to take time (to lower the deficit). We did not get into this position overnight Un­ fortunately four years of office is not goins to get us back on a right-type track but at least we are finally in a groove where we can see the light., we're going in the right direction." Harry Adrounie, Hastings: "This is a question that is beginning to come to the front in this election year. There have been many recommendations made by various agencies, political parties and people. However, most of these suggestions are tinkering with processes which will not solve the problem The deficit poses a threat to the economic well being of the U.S. but some of the recommended fundamental changes in the Constitution, based on mis-diagnosis of the ailment, poses even worse dangers. "What is needed is a well studied and defined plan that would have fundamental changes in areas of agriculture, medicare, medicaid and social welfare programs, and military procurement. Closing all the tax loopholes would help and perhaps by having a 10-percent flat rate income tax. Basically, what it comes down to is either spend less or increase revenue." he said. Marguerite Aukerman. Prairieville: "I don't like to see such a big debt for the U.S or anybody. I do feel that President Reagan is on the right track for this country. There are a lot of people that don't like military spending, but 1 feel that we are more secure than we were before...The correction of so much government waste could improve our deficit." �The Hastings Banner New band directors plan to expand by Norma Peterson Acker Recruiting more students, participating in festivals, and continuing the cooperative relationship with the band boosters are a few of the goals that new Hastings Band Directors Joseph LaJoye and Joan BosserdSchroeder plan to pursue LaJoye. a former Hastings graduate, was hired as head band director replacing Jack Bender. Schroeder filled the assistant position created by the millage. Although officially LaJoye will be head director at the high school and Schroeder head director of the junior high, both will work with the elementary school board. The entire program will be run on a cooperative "team teaching” basis LaJoye said the titles a«-e merely to separate extra-curricular duties at each level. "I have always had a high regard for the Hastings public schools. They have a tradition of good boards here." said LaJoye. LaJoye attended Hastings High School his senior year and played the trumpet under the directorship of Art Steward. He received a bachelor's degree in music from Western Michigan University in 1976 and is currently pursuing a master’s degree at WMU. LaJoye worked for four years in the Lakewood school system as an assistant band director and for three years as director of music in the Central Montcalm system. He married the former Susan Ewer of Hastings, who is currently employed by Hastings Aluminum Products. The LaJoye’s have two daughters. Christy, 6 and Sarah, 3, and a three-month old son, Lany. They currently reside in Clarksville, MI. LaJoye may be heard professionally with a three-piece jazz band called. "The Pacific Two.” "We are very convinced that this school has tremendous potential. I was familiar with the band program from the impressive days of Art Steward and Terry Zylman," said Bosserd-Schroeder. Schroeder said she has made a long-term commitment and hopes to help develop a sound music education program. "There is a rich tradition in Hastings of people pursuing careers in music.” Schroeder said. Schroeder hopes at some point in the near future she and LaJoye can reinstate the fifth grade band program. She praised Jack Bender's work, but added that it would be easier for two people to get a better grasp of the music situation at Hastings. Schroeder graduated from Marshall High School and received a bachelor's degree in music from Central Michigan in 1979. She is currently pursuing a master's degree at Michigan Stale University. She has had teaching experience in the North Muskegon Public School System, the Greater Muskegon Catholic Schools and the Marcellus Schoo! System. Schroeder's husband Craig is employed at Jacobson's in Kalamazoo in a management position. The Schroeders currently reside in Mat­ tawan. but hope »o movp closer to Hastings in the near future.

Ar­ 8otth Jefferson Street Former Hastings resident honored THE JCPENNEY SPRING/ SUMMER A CATALOG The January thaw hit the street last week. We had a few gorgeous days respite from the winter weather. It gave us all a chance to wash the windows and generally clean up the things you can’t clean when it’s below freezing. A break in the weather snaps us out of the winter doldrums and helps us get through the rest of the cold days. Come and visit us on South Jefferson Street where the clerks are always friendly and most helpful, especially after a January thaw.

Rev Manin Siekmiller Phone 945-5197 arte 5 — [your choice J he spiritualfij "Dean urged the board of commissioners to take a "strong" stand against this trend. Calling the Commission "leeches” and “bloodsuckers" and persons “who get into our business". Dean asked “Who does the state Tax Commission answer to?" “They act as if they’re God," he answered, "but. if you check into it, the people they have to answer to are our legislators.’* The former commissioner urged current members to let lawmakers know, both as a county and as a member of the Michigan Association of Counties, their feelings about "raising tax assessments in a depressed economy". "If you talk with the township supervisors, they say they cant't fight, that they have to gel along with the Tax Commission." Dean said. "If you talk with John Ainslie (the county equalization director), he says he has to get ..long with the Tax Commission. "So who does fight them?" he went on. “I feel it has to be the board of commissioners. We need to something about this. The Commission is not doing its job They’re bleeding people and the burden of stopping that starts here." Following Dean’s appeal, the com­ missioners talked at lengthen the subject but did not take any action. “One of the problems ue have." said Commissioner Ted McKelvey, "is that the law says that property must be taxed at 50 percent of its market value and when something sells for more, then its hard for John (Ainslie) to not raise assessments." McKelvey said he agreed with Dean, that in depressed limes like this the SEV shouldn't be going up. "I don't think though the state is that far off in having a fair property tax," he said, citing the circuit breaker that builds deductions into the state income tax for property owners, particularly for senior citizens. "It’s getting assessments in line that is causing the problem.” Commissioner Richard Landon noted that the Commission’s attitude was. “if property is purchased below its determined market value, that fact is ignored". “They tell you that you were just lucky," he added. “It doesn’t work the other way around though." Commissioner James Gordon suggested that in depressed times property taxes are "more noticable" and also that “perhaps the state wants to keep those property tax revenues up because other (source) amounts arc down" "We’ve been hearing those things 'referring to Dean’s appeal* for years," he added, "but no one ever talks about perhaps changing the tax system. Should we do away with properly taxes if they are a burden? "One thing though." Gordonsaid. "We talk about taxes and have meetings, but maybe we should have all these people al a meeting and talk about all the sendees which tax money provides “ equipment, training and preparation. Mary Spackman, finance committee chairman, said her group is ready to begin interviews for the job of city building in­ spector. "We have been meeting to review the many applications we have received to fill the post, and we have narrowed down the list now...We’ve been really flooded with ap­ plications. We didn't realize there were that many people out there looking for this type of work," said Spackman.

Comic Valentines of the 1830s Missey Weyerman When Missey Weyerman mentions her job title, many times folks need a further ex­ planation of her work. A deputy abstractor in the Barry County Abstract Office. Missey says many people wonder just what that means Siie says her work involves providing the history of title to property and helping to post entries into a tract index of all mortgages and deed*. The office also is an ag.nt for title insurance Running title checks and answering questions about ownerships of right-of-ways etc. is part of the work. She also draws out descriptions of property and understands the technical jargon of it all. "I like it and it's challenging," says Missey who resides in Cloverdale. She has worked in the abstract office since May of 1973. Prior to that she was employed at Brokema Insurance in Delton, starting that job in the co-op program during her senior year in high school. A 1972 Del ton-Kell ogg graduate. Missey was bom at Pennock Hospital in Hastings and has lived in Bar ry County al 1 her life. In high school, Missey said she took all the home economics classes she could and was a member of the Future Homemakers Association Those classes, coupled with her 4-H membership, contributed to the skills which she has used to teach herself many crafts. She has used those talents to pursue her favorite hobbies which also now give her another source of income. In the Hill 'n Dale 4-H Club, she learned sewing, cooking, and cake decorating. Once she spent four to five days taking special sewing classes, through 4-H, al Michigan State University. Cake decorating has emerged as one of Missey *s favorite hobbies. The largest cake she created was a wedding cake to serve 250275 people for a cousin's wedding. One of the most unusual and funniest cakes was in the shape of a tombstore for a cousin's 40th birthday. "1 guess ’.he thought was that life was ending (at that age)," she laughs. "I gel a lol of orders for character cakes like Mickey Mouse and Hollie Hobbie," she said. Another cute cake was one shaped like a telephone which she made for a teenage friend "Someday I hope to have my own shop." says Missey "Right now 1 bake cakes tor the girls at work and friends and I picx up other orders from people. Making fancy-shaped chocola:e candy from various molds is another hobby she especially enjoys for holidays. Missey is a whiz at using a knitting machine. At one time, she had three different machines in her home, but says she has just one now. She learned to machine knit about six or seven years ago and says there are many­ advantages over hand knitting. "You can Unit faster than by hand and you get more even stitches.

She lakes many of her knitted projects to bazaars and says she hopes to go to more bazaars this year. Making a variety of crafts are some of the ways she spends her spare time.

Correction A Lansing man and his minor son escaped serious injury Feb. 3 when the car in which they were travelling was struck broadside, and rolled over near the comer of N. Broadway and W. Woodlawn Ave. The driver of the second car, who was alone in his vehicle, was also uninjured. Four other juveniles mentioned in the Banner article were witnesses to the accident, not passengers. Valentine's Day, like so many of our holidays, is an ambivalent festival witn a dark, seamy obverse side contrasting sharply with the atmosphere of love's purity and beauty's adoration normally associated with it Coexisting with the custom of ex­ changing lovely, lacy Valentine cards between sweethearts was the tradition of sending insulting and humiliating comic Valentines to people one did not like, or just for a lark. Both types of greetings — romantic and comical — date back over a cen­ tury and a half, but today the world has seemingly matured enough so that such crude and vulgar cards as the comics no longer exist, except in hobby collections. The origin of Valentine's Day is obscure, but authorities tend to agree that its roots are in the ancient Roman Lupercalian Festivals. After Christianity had conquered the ancient world, becoming the official religion of the Roman Empire, many pagan ceremonies were assimilated into church ritual. This was necessary because a large percentage of converts refused to abandon their many fertility and folk rites, most of which had been celebrated for many centuries. During the medieval age, the celebration of St. Valentine's Day fell •nto disrepute and neglect, except in one area The convents and the monasteries managed to preserve some of the ancient knowledge during those dark centuries. In such convents, the Sisters ex­ changed with one another handmade cards with hearts, atop of which was written the name of St. Valentine. By the time of the early 17th Century, love messages were being exchanged by lovers. Around 1800, the first manufactured Vai3ntines became available for swains to send to their ladies fair. As the years passed, selling prices decreased and production in­ creased, thanks to advances made in printing through the wonders of lithography. By 1840, Valentines were being mass-produced throughout Great Britain and Europe. Valentines came to this country early in the same century and native manufacturers soon found themselves in a lucretive business. The comic valentine, eventually called "the penny dreadful", started making its first appearance around 1830 in Europe. By 1840, it was also being printed and used in large quantities. Political satire, the origin of so much of our modern comic art, was the basis as well for the beginnings of comic valentines. This occurred during the first decades of the 19 th Century. V icious caricaturing ui political and religious leaders in the Old World soon gave way to ridiculing one's neighbors, friends, or fellow villagers Whatever peculiarity, trait, or handicap a person had. or was impugned to have by others, was held up to ridicule by sending him or her a penny dreadful with cruel verse. Consequently, the homely man, the flirt, the rake, the overweight, the old maid, or the thieving butcher with the fat thumb all received their due on Valentine's Day. The "penny dreadful” was so named because it cost a penny. Printing was done by woodblock and the result was then cheaply handcolored. These cards were delivered by surreptitious means to the unlucky recipient. Especially singled out for abuse were town drunks and all old maids. Americans gravitated to the custom and before the century was halfway through, it was in full swing. The use of indelicate and coarse cards of bad taste seemed to peak around 1870. As the years passed, their vulgarity and crudeness mellowed so that by 1900. when the picture post card came along, comic valentines had transitioned into something more comedic and far less insulting. The issue of post cards for such comic valentines from 1900 to 1918 was the last hurrah for the penny dreadful. True comics, with considerably diluted insult themes, came into use during the 1920s and have survived until today on regular folded greeting cards. As post cards during the first two decades of our 20th Century, the penny dreadfuls proved excellent sellers. Many of them were printed in lengthy series of 12. 24, 36, and 48 cards, with each being of a different personality or character. British, as well as American, publishers became heavily involved in publishing and marketing them. Concurrently, there was a much larger production of the sentimental-themed valentine post cards and there are far more varieties known The romantic types are among the loveliest .of all greeting post cards. McLoughlin Brothers of New York, responsible in the 19th Century for the worst of the “dreadfuls", was still active during the post card era and may well be the earliest publisher of such cards. The set issued around 1902 or 1903 can be considered the most cruel of all post cards. The penny dreadfuls and their more mellowed picture post card successors may well have hurt the feelings of many 19th Century and 20th Century people — but are a delight to today's collector of comic valentines.

Page 7 DNR official gives update on clearcutting Last year the Dept, of .Natural Resources had a dozen sites, ranging from one to ten acres, clearcut in the Barry and Middleville Game Areas The purpose, they said, for that action was to replace older aspen stands w ith younger trees and to enhance certain types of wildlife by doing so. The clearcutting, a good deal of it done along roadways, was greeted with strong opposition from a number of citizens. They met amongst themselves and with DNR officials several times and eventually organized as the Barry Preservation Committee. The group, in turn, presented the DNR with a list of seven concerns, the primary eres being that the department hold up on any new cutting until the concerns were answered, that selective cutting practices rather than clearcutting be used, that all cutting be prohibited within 150 feet of roadways, that no cutting be allowed within 150 feet of private property without the owner's consent, and that the group be consulted before future sales' bids are let out. The DNR responded to those requests and also began holding monthly meetings to inform the public of its plans and policies. Two weeks ago bids on the second round of timber sales was opened. Clearcutting over the next 12 months will be done on ap­ proximately 200 acres of forest in the two Game Areas. To give an update of what's taken place, explain what's taking place and offer the reasoning for it. The Banner last week talked with John Lerg, the DNR wildlife biologist who oversees management and development of both Barry and Middleville Game Areas. but its an issue that can be and must be addressed within the masterplan That issue will lx* brought up. discussed, and a poiicy from our department will then be drawn up on just how w e will address it. meet it. what management can be done to accomadate it if it's to be accomadated We are perhaps being guilt) of making it sound like the hunting fraternity doesn't use that land for any other purpose than to hunt. Obviously he or she might enjoy the scenery John Lerg. the wildlife specialist for Barry County, (left) defends clearcutting policies by the Dept, of Natural Resources in the Barry and Middleville Game Areas, explaining that they replace older forest stands (particularly aspen) with newer ones and also enhance the habitat for certain "desired" wildlife. That practice, along with cutting up to roadways (shown above) and near private property lines, met with objections from a number of local citizens. issue. I would have to respond that would very much like to provide more pheasant hunting, but the soils do not have suitable fertility to provide for that type of game Pheasants require good, high quality types of soil which are used primarily in agriculture. We'll get our best results in improving pheasant hunting by working with the private iandowner. Because of the soils we have in the game areas, we can’t expect to provide anything but marginal pheasant hunting there. That would be an issue we would dismiss. Il's well taken, but we can't do it successfully. You met with the Barry Preservation Committee several times and later held monthly meetings. Could you give a synopsis of what's taken place since you began meeting with that group, some of their concerns and what took place at the monthly­ meetings? They had several concerns which they consolidated into seven points. Those were then transferred to I-ansing for a department position and that position was then brought back down through channels in written form. This was then presented to this committee. The committee received them with mixed feelings. With some of the recponses they were gratified, some didn't go as far as they wanted. Could you be more specific? There was a request for a moratorium on all cutting. The moratorium was not granted. We did agree to work with the committee and not put out any timber sales-until we had responded to their seven points. i No cutting within 150 feet of the road was another one. We said that we recognized the need lor aesthetic considerations and the value of land along the road. We said we would give close consideration to anything we did there within the best managemenl interests and considering other alternatives. We did reserve the right to come up tc the road in limited areas. Along the more well-traveled roads we would try not to clear cut. As the road became more secondary in nature, then our concerns for cutting along the road would correspond. They had asked we not cut anything within 150 feel of a private landowner's boundry. We felt, if there was not residence nearby, then it was not reasonable to stay awry 150 feet. Where there was a residence, we agreed not to do any clearcutting, but we did reserve the right to do selective cutting within that distance. They asked us to put greater emphasis on selective cutting. We fee) there are two ways to cut — an uneven management style (selective cutting) where ond tree is taken and another left for future growth and an even management style (clearcutting) where an area is cut away and then allowed to come back. The type of tree we want to have come back dictates which way we have to go. Aspen and oak are two kinds of trees that respond best to some type of even-aged management. Aspen would definitely require clearcutting. With oak you might want to try an advanced regeneration where you cut most of the trees, but leave some so acorns will fall on the ground. The acorns will sprout, then six to eight years later you cut the balance of the trees out there and you have an oak forest beginning again. Maple trees are more designed for an uneven management. You cut some of the older ones and leave other ones around and the young maple trees will come up under the shade of their parents. Oaks won't. Uneven management is particularly adaptable for that type of forest and 'yes' we are going to do that. But what we're trying to do right now is address areas of immediate concern. Areas like aspen that cannot wait. Once things come together, once we get our masterplan completed, then you'll be able to see that we are applying uneven management in some areas and even-aged management in others At that time 1 think the public will be able to see the big picture. Have you doing any selective cutting, along with the clear cutting? We have not been doing much selective cutting. Do you have any plans to do so right away? There are no plans until we get our masterplan out. We are putting selective cutting off because we feel there needs to be public participation in the planning process. Rather than do any cutting of that nature, we're putting it off and we'll do it later What Is this nasterplan? The plan will be a ccmbination of an in­ ventory of all the forests we have, a partial inventory of public uses and then the mixing the ,‘wo to get the best plan for the resource or somcother type of recreation as much as the person who doesn't hunt. Right In reality that's Die case Studies show that a hunter will return to an area to do any number of things — berry pick, fish drive around to look at the scenery. That also lias to be plugged into the formula. I can't say how we're going to resolve all these things right now because we don't have all the imput. but these things are going through our minds and we'll Im* addressing them. Part of the reasoning behind clearcutting is to regenerate that type of forest and to also provide food and habitat for certain kinds of game. Are there any other reasons for the clearcutting policy? that we have. Obviously there are a great many ways to do that and obviously the public will want to have some imput. That's partially what the six months of meetings with the public were designed to do. After the draft plan is completed we intend to carry it to the public for their imput. Is this a "use" plan where you're saying for instance "this part of the game area has this type of land and these type of trees so we'll concentrate on hunting. Over here, because of this type terrain and trees, we'll try to promote hiking'*? In a sense yes. Using those as examples, say we have a nice maple forest here and it looks well-established and has the right soils. We'll probably try to continue the forest and put it under uneven management to promote such things as squirrels, raccoons, possibly deer. We recognize the capacity of the land. Maybe next to it you've got an old field with aspen. We might say this area is best managed by cutting it every so often and let it grow up to young aspen. This would help deer, as well as wildlife like grouse. Maybe one of the things we'll find is that the Barry Game Area might be just excellent raccoon habitat and without a lot of effort we could continue the raccoon habitat and make it better. But we have to look at the other side of the picture. Do we really need that much rac­ coon habitat and that many raccoons around or are we already meeting the needs we have for raccoons and would be going overboard by improving their habitat? We will be looking at the demands there are for various things we have and also at what we can provide. Is the bottom lint* still game management? The bottom line will still be game management We will rate as many dif­ ferent. compatible recreation activities that we can. but within the constraints we operate under. The key value of the plan will be wildlife management and wildlife enhan­ cement . I know that the land for the Game Areas was purchased by hunters' fees. Does the state budget any money Inward the game area? All the money for the management of Game Areas comes from hunting license fees and taxes on the sale of firearms, am­ munition and other associated things. Every penny going into that land, including salaries, one way or another comes from hunting. No money comes from the state's general fund. Again on the masterplan, when do you sec this reaching the stage for public par­ ticipation? We're very much involved in it right now and I expect to have a preliminary draft out to the public in two to four years — depen­ ding on what game area you're talking about We're working on an inventory of our forest resources right now. We're also listing the public concerns and expectations. We'll be looking at specific issues For instance should there be more grouse hun­ ting opportunities on state land'* Such as? An issue might be 'should the state provide more grouse hunting opportunities on state land' Another issue might Im* 'should the state provide more pheasant hunting' Without hardly thinking al all on the latter We feel it's best to manage with what we have on hand, so we look around at the habitat, at the different options and then pick the one that takes care of the desired uses and is also best suited for the land. One of the things you find is that we have aspen and. by cutting it down, the area comes back very nicely to young aspen and to a host of other plants that grow alongwith it. This is a community of vegetation that make it a good place for certain types of wildlife. Because of that situation, we lean toward that management policy. On the same token, we have a nice stands of maple that are best suited, best managed, and take the least amount of effort to con­ tinue them as maple stands. There is a certain type of wildlife that does quite well in maple, that favor it. just as there is wildlife that does well in aspen. We try to manage the game area based on what we find. In some of the areas we have, dry sandy soil and we have scrub oak. II would be very liard to establish a high qua'ity aspen forest and next to impossible to establish a vigorous maple woods. The apsen need moisure as does the maple. In those cases the area would be best suited for a black oak complex (a species of oak that grows best on dryer soils). It may not be as pretty, but again it's working with the available resources. How long have you been doing the clearcutting? Our records show cutting activities that go back to the '50s. What happened last year? Was it cutting it clos. to the road? Two years ago. in 1982, we offered for sale more than 200 acres, not all of it sold. We were concentrating on aspen and many of those sites were close to the road. The aspen had grown up on land that farmers had cleared for fields which were close to the road. Because of that we brought ourselves into the limelight That caused quite a bit of concern and people voiced their opinions. We worked with them quite a bit and tryed to better learn their conceptions and make them aware of what we were up to. That s what led to this understanding with the Barn- Preservation Committee that they would net oppose our going ahead with timber sales this year. Was it because this was the greatest amount of acreage that has been clearcul or was it being close to the road that brought the situation to the public's attention? It was the greatest number of acres that's been clear cut. it was also the greatest number of different sales (many close to road, and it was also the largest volume sale. What brought about that change from cutting smaller amounts that were not so close to the road to the larger amounts? There was a change in personnel and. with the change in personnel, came a different attitude, a differing emphasis on where we should be doing our work and where we could be getting our greatest return. In years past there was considerable effort put in managing open areas. There was sharecropping. We planted our own corn­ fields. We provided minerals for the wildlife. There was a whole bunch of things done along those lines in the open areas. Was that done to promote the deer population? Deer, rabbits, pheasant, waterfowl. In previous years we didn't devote as much time to our forest areas. Now we feel we can gel a greater return for our efforts by putting them into our forested areas and so we looked around for the place to begin. One of the areas where we saw a great need was the aspen. We saw stands of older aspen dying so that was an important reason we decided to have diem cut off. Was it and is it still your intention to do this on a regular basis or is this just a short-term program? We expect Iodo this on a regular basis. Was there anything besides aspen cut off” Yes. where you had a mixture of aspen and oak we cut all the aspen and all the oak so when the shoots came back the area would be largely taken over by aspen. How many areas were cut and what size did they range? About a dozen areas and they ranged from three to 12 acres. Were most of them near the road? They were about half and half. The clearcutting of several parcels of forest in the Barry and Middleville Game Areas raised strong objections from a number of neighboring residents. They met serverol times with the DNR. voicing their opposition and seeking a number of concessions from the state department regarding the sale of limber. PROFESSIONAL DRIVERS: COMMISSION ORDER CFI-114.84 (Under authority of Act 230, PA. 1925, as amended) Schneider Transport, Inc. STURGEON SIZE LIMIT is looking for... OVER-THE-ROAD PROFESSIONALS You mentioned that the Preservation Committee did not oppose the sales you had last week. Was that because of the com­ promises that were made on cutting near the road and near propery lines? No. they are basically still concerned with some of the policies that we stand by. But the way these present sales were set up. almost ali of them were not contingent upon the considerations they asked us to accept. There were a couple sale sites that bounded private land, but there were no residences nearby. There was only one sale that came out to a road and that was a two-track trail. They asked us not to come up to the road and. just by the way the sales were put together, we didn't. Was that intentional? No. that's just the way it happened. It was a quirk of fate. I'm not sure that's good or bad. As it turned out we had already had the second round of sales marked and ready to be bidded on when we first heard of the concerns and the strong objections to that initial round. Everything was cut and dried with the second round before we had any imput from the group. So the compromises that you made will go into effect on the next round of sales? That's right. As it turned out. with this round of cutting, we somehow avoided the problems simply be the way things turned out. We are living within the poiicy.

COMMISSION ORDER cfi 102.» (Under authority of Act 230, P.A. 1925, as amended) LAKE TROUT SPEARING STATEWIDE BAN The Natural Resources Commission, at its October 7, 1983, meeting, under the authority of Sections 1 and 2, Act 230, P.A. 1925, as last amended by Act 82, renewed the older of August 10, 1973, that no person shall take lake trout by means of a spear or bow and arrow from any of the waters over which this state has jurisdiction for a period of five years effective January 1, 1984, through March 31,1989. How many acres and how many different parcels are being cut on this round? We had about 160 acres up for sale, all sold, on 20 different sites, ranging from one acre to ten acres? How much money did the sales generate? This year there is $61,778 in preliminary bids, while last year the sales totaled roughly $29,000. Was there a better quality wood offere this time around.? e Better quality wood and more hardwoods that were mixed in with the aspen. We also had a couple of pine sites and there were a couple special sites in the Middleville Game area where a bad storm in 1981 had knocked down a lot of trees. Do you plan to continue working with the Barry Preservation Committee oij an ongoing basis when these sales come up as they requested in one of their seven points? We plan on continuing to work with the public. The Barry Preservation Committee is one group — a special interest one we think — of the public. We're trying to come up with many dif­ ferent ways to recognize, to identify the interests, and io gel as much imput as possible from the public for this masterplan. But we re going to go ahead with a number of different options to obtain this imput One of the things we re going to do is continue the game area informational meetings, although not on a monthly basis. We also see a number of different planning groups we want to confer with. The county lioard of commissioners is one. Workshops where people can have a hands-on session with a part of the plan, is another option. We'll go out on a one-to-one basis and ask people about problems they might have. Using these different approaches we hope to find where the issues are concerning the use and development of the two Game Areas We've established that your primary reason for being in existence is managing the wildlife for hunting. There are obviously a lot of other types of recreation that utilize that land. Are they going to be included in this masterplan? Absolutely Again they come (Hit as issues. Maybe horseback riders feel there should be more trails. I'm not saying this will be done. R&JFoodMart 2% MILK 4 WHOLE MILK loin Our COFFEE CLUB 12 oz.

A Churches: A HISTORICAL LOOK” Woodland News As this is the week of Valentine's Day. and evervone has their minds on hearts and flowers and pretty cards, two churches had "Sweetheart Affairs" over the weekend. Th Woodgrove Christian Parish Church youth held a "Sweetheart Breakfast" on Sunday morning to begin their annual drive for funds to go to camp in the summer Twelve youths, from third graders through the older teenagers, served pancakes and sausage to approximately 45 people for a freewill offering at 8 a.m. At Zion Lutheran Church, the Luther league youths held their second annual "Sweetheart Dinner" on Saturday evening. The Luther League members served Swiss steak, potatoes, green beans and cupcakes to 65 people in the downstairs hall uf the church. The hall was decorated in a Valentine theme. After dinner, everyone moved into the Fireside Lounge of the church and Duane Reuther and Jack Kenney led singing of oldtime favorites such as "Let Me Call You Sweetheart" in a romantic atmosphere with lights dimmed and hearts and candles arranged around the room This dinner was also a fundraiser. Aaron and Cheryl Doroff and their children, Timothy and Patty, moved into a new doublewide mobile home set up on their land near Carlton Center last week. Their old home burned a few days before Christmas. The Doroffs held a “house warming" on Sunday. Feb. 5, in the afternoon and many of Uvir friends were able to come help them celebrate being in a home of their own again. Zion Lutheran ALCW is planning to hold a l.azaar this fall. Committees will he formed and start working on projects and plans for booths next month. P.J. Vroman is still at home recovering from the broken leg he suffered in a sledding accident last week. Kilpatrick Church Adult Christian En­ deavor group met Saturday evening at the church fora potluck dinner. The tables were decorated by hostesses Mildred Chase and Barbara Dalton in a Valentine motif with hearts and red candles. Several antique valentines were also on the tables and arranged around the room. A special bir­ thday cake with candles was presented to Lawrence Chase and, after everyone sang "Happy Birthday" to him he presented the cake to Doris Niethamer who was a special guest and whose birthday is on the same day as his. "Happy Birthday" was also sung for by Catherine Lucas First Baptist Church Morrell smith who also has a February birthday. After dinner, a short meeting was con­ ducted by President George Schaibly. Devotions were given by David Brodbeck who read a poem about charity. Six special guests responded to roll call, making a total of 34 people present. The guests were Mr. and Mrs Tom Niethamer. Gordon Brown, Carol Enz, and Mr. and Mrs. Harry Sand­ brook. Plans for the annual Easter Sunrise Sendee and breakfast were discussed. Program and hostess committees were appointed for the next two months. Tom Niethamer presented his slide show of American flags. He has slides of the eastern­ most point of U.S. territory in the Virgin Islands with a flag flying and the western­ most point with a flag flying on the most remote Hawaiian Island. The slides include many historical flags and many pictures of battle reenactments, including historical flags that were carried out during the Bi­ centennial of our nation, as well as 100-year observations of certain Civil War events. There are also many slides of our nation's capital and national cemeteries in Europe. Everyone enjoyed the slides, and probably most of the people present learned a little from them. Pastor Clifford Randall has started two new Bible study classes at Zion Lutheran Church. Five people are meeting at 10 a.m. on Thursdays to study the Gospel of Mark, and 13 are meeting on Thursday evenings to study the same lessons as the morning class. Any interested persons are welcome. When Woodland friends tried to call Harold Stannard at his son's home in Danville, Calif, on Sunday, he had gone to a nearby mall so that he could take an inside walk. His son reported that he is improving and gaining strength from his recent heart and ab­ dominal surgery. In another two weeks, his doctors may let him return Io his winter home in the southern California desert. The Woodland School Alumni Association Banquet Committee for 1984 recently met at the home of this year's president. Ross Krehs. They decided that the banquet will be held on May 19 this year, which is the traditional Saturday before the Memorial Day weekend. Those committee members who attended the meeting were Ross Krebs. Mary Smith. Wilma Townsend, Eugene Reuther, Russell Lind and Robert Crockford. They will meet again on March 20. The First Baptist Church of Hastings was housed here on West Court Street from 1885 to 1975. For most its history the building was a one-room, basement-less structure. The arrival of Rev. Russell Houseman in 1951 quickly changed that. Between that date and 1964 the church underwent three major expansion and remodeling projects. Houseman, a carpenter prior to becoming a minister, and volunteers from the congregation did the work. The current site of the First Baptist Church on Woodlawn Avenue in Hastings was completed in 1975. The building of the new structure was necessitated by the growing numbers in the congregation. An association, affliated with the church, three years earlier started the Hastings Baptist School (now known as the Hastings Christian School). That also has grown in numbers and size during the '70s. Its only Sprite for you!

Coll John Haan at 948 3251 for pick up arrangements The roots of the First Baptist Church of Hastings reach back to September 1868 when Rev. Emery Curtis came to the community to preach in the Presbyterian Church. At that time he announced an intent to start a Baptist work in the growing village of about 600. A month later the first meeting of the Baptists was held in the Court House and the church was organized. It was also decided to look for a building site. In March 1871 a lot was purchased on West Court Street, across from tne Court House. Services were held in the residence on that site for several years until funds could be raised for a building. The first nine years of the church were a struggle with Curtis having left in 1870 and no other minister replacing him until 1877. A new pastor and a growing membership eventually resulted in completion of a building in 1885, a one-room basment-less structure. The church had its ups and downs mem­ bership-wise over the intervening years, numbering 219 in 1917 and falling to a Sunday attendance of 15-10-20 persons by 1950. The arrival of Rev. Russell Houseman in 1951 proved to be a turning point for the local Baptist Church. Combining his ministerial talents with a knack for the carpenter trade (one he had plied before turning to the cloth). Rev. Houseman quickly began the task of ex­ panding both church membership and the actual building, the structure having seen little change since its 1885 completion. By June 1953 a major remodeling effort was finished that kept only the original frame and roof intact. A 16-foot addition was put on the front and a 20-foot one was built on the back. In addition a spacious basement was dug and fixed up. Completed, the new building measured 50 by 82 feet and was able to house 30 Sunday School classes while the basement served as a place for social get-togethers. The edifice was also changed and the old tower was rebuilt to blend its architecture with the rest cf the structure. Cost of the project was valued at $75,000. but with volunteer help from the congregation, plus Houseman's expertise, it was brought in at $40,000. The mortgage, taken on the property to cover the expenses, was burned on New Year's Ere 1954. While the building was being expanded, membership was also growing, numbering about 180 for Sunday services and 140 for Sunday School. That continued growth prompted the church in April 1956 to announce plans for a $50,000 project to erect an txlucational building on the bac^ of the structure. The addition was needed to accommodate the 350-to-400 youngsters who now attended Sunday School each week at the church.. Completed and dedicated that same year, the new unit measured 46 by 60 feet, con­ tained two floors and allowed the church's main auditorium to be extended from 80 to 100 feet. It housed over 20 Sunday School rooms. A third expansion project, again to accommadatc the increasing growth in the Sunday School program, was undertaken in 1964. Specifically, a third floor (which had been allowed for in the earlier project) was added onto the educational unit. Houseman and volunteer labor from the church quickly finished the work that created another 2880 square feet of floor space, allowing con­ struction oi another 12 Sunday School rooms. By that time the Sunday School numbers were over 450 with attendance at the Vacation Bible School topping 500. While the church was reaching tliat capaclity. officials of the church looked ahead for the eventual need of a new building and on Nov 8. 1961 seven acres were pur­ chased on Woodlawn Avenue. Thirteen years later, on April 10.1974, that foresight was rewarded when church members voted to build a new church and on June 16 groundbreaking ceremonies were held. True to form Rev. Houseman and volun­ teers from the congregation went to work, although this time around outside help was needed. The building, completed the following year, seated 650 in the auditorium with the choir loft holding another 50. Capacity at the Court Street church had been 300. In the basement were 27 classrooms, along with a 40 by 75 foot recreation room for church youth groups and banquets and a large kitchen and foyer area. In addition to the auditorium, the main floor contained two offices while on the upper floor was a nursery and another Sunday School department. Cost of the project, including a large parking lot and landscaping, was appraised at $500,000. The congregation saved $170,000 of that total by doing much of the work themselves. Plans for the new church will allow the second floor of the building Io be converted into additional seating for the auditorium, plus another wing for an educational unit. On Feb. 23. 1975 the final services were held at the old church which had been sold for $75,000 to the County of Barry. The first sendee at the new- structure took place the following Sunday. A four-day Dedication Service was held May 18-21 and included special speakers. Over 700 members and friends of the congregation attended the Sunday morning service on that occasion. Later that year, on Dec. 11, the congregation honored Rev. and Mrs. Russell Houseman for their 25 years of service in Hastings. Nearly two years later, on Sept. 26. 1977, he retired. The current pastor at First Baptist is Rev. Kenneth Garner. Church affiliated with Hastings Christian School The First Baptist Church is also affiliated with the Hastings Christian School, a kindergarten-thru-seventh grade program, located at Welcome Comers. The school is administered by the Baptist School Association. The school opened for Kindergarten-thruthird grade students on Sept. 6, 1972 at the former Quimby Schoolhouse on M-79 and was known as the Hastings Baptist School. A decision to expand the enrollment in 1974 to include fourth-thru-sixth graders necessitated a larger building and so the former Chidester School of Heath Road was rented from the Hastings Public Schools Two years later the school was relocated again, this time to its present location in the former Welcome Corners schoolhouse and offered enrollment for seventh graders. In 1978 the association voted to change the school's name. Renew Process begins again at St. Rose The congregation of St. Rose of Lima Catholic Church is about to enter into the second of Lent with the "Renew Program". Lent has always been the Christian time of renewal, and the theme of Season IV at St. Rose is “Discipleship". On Saturday and Sunday. Feb. 18 19 "Signup-Sunday" will be held after all masses, giving those who wish to join a small group the opportunity to do so. A variety of special activites and Sunday Liturgies have been planned for all ages groups to foster a strong sense of community. �The Hostings Banner— Thursday, February 16. 1984. Page 9 Hastings takes second in league meet, splits duals Dave Kensington warms up during a recent practice session. The Saxon wrestler is 23-8 this winter. (Bonn.r photo) Dave Kensington’s a stickout on Hastings wrestling team Dave Kensington admits that last year, as a sophomore, he took I is share of beatings on the wrestling mat. This year, however, the Hastings wrestler is administering his share of poundings to opponents. Kensington, who was 18-7 a year ago. began the season in the 198-pound weight class but recently dropped down to the 185 category. Between the two classes he has compiled an outstanding 23-8 record — second best on the Saxon team to Hutch Clason's 27-7 mark. Kensington has captured two tour­ naments. finished second three other » times, and fourth once. He finished second in the Twin Valley conference meet last Saturday. Hastings coach Dave Furrcw says Kensington's record might even be better had he been able to stay com­ pletely healthy. At one point this season Kensington was 19-3 with 18 pins. "He got sick about three weeks ago and most of his losses have come since then." says Furrow. "He still isn't 100 per cent which has caused him to tire in some matches." Kensington he isn't surprised by his marked improvement over a year. "No, not really.” he says. "A lot of the kids that beat me a year ago were seniors and they've graduated. "I feel I have more confidence this year. Only a few sophomores really gel to wrestle varsity. I’m just a more experienced wrestler and I guess it's basically confidence." Kensington says the moment that sticks out in his memory this winter occurred in the Eaton Rapids tourment in January. There Kensington was seated only fifth, but knocked off the top seed, an Eaton Rapids wrestler. 10-3 in his second match of the tour­ nament. “That surprised the people there," say’s Kensington. "I guess that wasn't supposed to happen." With the league and dual portion of the wrestling season having been completed. Kensington is looking towards this weekend's districts and. hopefully, regional and state com­ petition. Kensington says he doesn't want to make any predictions for the rest of his season. He does, however, think he has a chance to prolong his season. "1 don't say I want to, but I do hope to.” he says. "I'm very happy with the team and how I've wrestled." Kensington admits he probably reached a season-low in the Twin Valley meet. He had won five of six league matches prior to the meet and was ready to snatch a Twin Valley title. "Just before the tournament, and I’m not making excuses. I just wasn't wrestling up to my ability and I didn't wrestle well in the league tournament,” says Kensington. Furrow is optimistic with Ken­ sington's chances in the districts — where he should be seeded — and perhaps even down the road, the state meet. "He has the ability,” admits the Saxon coach. "Whether he has the mental toughness is the key. When the aggressive, it's difficult to stop him." Despite what he does on the mat. Furrow says Kensington's leadership qualities are invaluable. He was selected this year's captain at the close of last season and those duties are not taken lightly by the youngster, says Furrow. "He is great leader," notes Furrow. "He has a great team attitude. Dave is concerned with how the whole team does, not just himself." And the days of him getting beat up are long gone. Upend Delton 68-65 Middleville eagers hot Skip Pranger had been wondering if his team was ever going to win two straight games again. His Middleville basketball team hadn't won consecutive ballgames since the opening two contests back in December. And since the Trojans were playing a team on Tuesday that hadn't lost two straight all year, it looked like Pranger might have to wait even longer. But the Trojans, aided by some clutch free throw shooting, came alive Tuesday to knock off Delton f>8-65. Actually it was a game determined by who was capable of playing and who wasn't. Delton's leading scorer. Brett McBeth, played long enough to shoot a couple of technicals. Starling center Jim Meade was sick and key forward Steve Tuin found himself on the bench in foul trouble much of the game. On Middleville's side, the frontline of Tom Schwartz and Dave Perry was less than effective as their talents were limited by ankle and back problems while point guard Tim Heffner was sick. Never-ihe-less. the Trojans were trying to make it two straight after having beaten Caledonia last Friday. Delton had fallen to powerful Kalamazoo Christian, but head coach Paul Blacken wouldn't use any menial letdown as an excuse for losing. “A little maybe, but not to the point where we should have lost the game." said Blacken. Instead, it was a case of Delton running into a hot-shooting Middleville team. The Trojans canned 23 of 44 (52 per cent) from the field and a remarkable 22 of 27 from the line. Those stats left Pranger wondering why his team couldn't do that game-in and gameout. "I felt we did a nice job. We executed very well," said Pranger. "They played us manto-man this lime after playing zone the first time." Middleville led 21-19 at the end of one quarter while the game was tied 33-33 at the half. The Trojans held a comfortable 53-46 lead at the end of three periods but the Panthers knotted the game at 56 early in the fourth stanza. Thornapple Kellogg then notched two quick baskets to go back up by four and the game was never in doubt. Craig Mathiesen scored a career-high 23 points to lead Middleville. Steve Miller added 14 and Perry finished with 14. Jay Henry poured in 23 points and grabbed 11 rebounds for Delton. Tuin finished with 16 and Meade chipped in 10. Delton is now 11-5 while Middleville is 9-7. Picking up thirds were Randy Planck -jmi. Bill Madden 1105). Tim Schoessel '112'. Hutch Clason (132>. Floyd Gates <145). and Mark Case (198). Jon Douglas (heavyweight) finished fourth Planck. Schoessel. Clason. Gates and Case all won three matches for the Saxons. The Saxons also split a triangular meet beating Caledonia 39-24 but losing to powerful Delton 53-15. Picking up wins against Caledonia were Rob Redman (119). Hutch Clason <132). and Jon Douglas (heavyweight). Against Caledonia. Randy Planck (98). Earl Thompson (105). Tim Schoessel <112), Redman, Clason. Tony Heath <145, Lyle Gross <167). and Douglas (198) all won. Hastings finishes with an 11-5 record. The Saxons travel to Lakewood on Saturday for the district tournament. Matches in the all day affair commence at 11 a.m. The Hastings wrestling team may be saving its best for Inst. The Saxons' performed as well as they have all year in finishing second in the Twin Valley meet at Harper Creek Hastings picked up 152 points to finish behind the 194 points accumulated by Sturgis. Hillsdale look third with 151 points. Marshall was fourth with 127. Harper Creek fifth at 92. Coldwater sixth with 54'; points, and Albion was seventh with 17 points. Hastings coach Dave Furrow was ex­ tremely pleased with his team's per­ formance. "We had a great, total team effort." he said. "This was by far our best performance in a tournament all season, and it couldn't have come at a better time. Notching second places for Hastings were Rob Redman (119). Brent Cook (126), Archie Leatherman <138» and Dave Kensington (185). Lorrie Jaynes tries to save a ball against Lowell on Tuesday night. The Saxons lost a three-set match to the visitors. (Banner photo) Fall in three sets Hastings spikers fall to Lowell Tuesday The four Hastings wrestlers that finished runner-up in the Twin Valley meet: Dave Kensington. Brent Cook. Archie Leatherman and Rob Redmon. "I think we could have won," she said. "We just stood around, like we did Saturday (in the Wayland tournament). "We never play well unless it's a league meet. I don't know why we do that. I don't know if they think it means more or what ” Tammy Connor hd 12 points to lead Hastings. Heather Barnes had seven points and Teri Kessenich and Laurie Snyder six each. The Saxons are now 7-12 overall. -AREA STANDINGS — TWIN VALLEY Sturgis............................ ................. 9-1 Albion . ..................... ............... 6-3 Coldwater...................

Febiuory 16 1984 Page 10 An essay by Joel Christensen Student tells of need for guidance Hastings High School senior Joel Christensen, recognized. Thursday, as the • Student of the Month" by the Exchange Club of Hastings, has written the following essay about America's responsibility to guide the destiny of its youth. America’s Responsibility, Youth’s Destiny by Joel Christensen Among the great nations in the world today, there is one that stands above and beyond them all: The United States of America. Since the start of our great country. America has grown politically, economically, and socially Every person has done his part to assist America in its growth, from voting for the President to buying American products. However, the biggest strength of America is its youth, and American has a big responsibility for guiding it's youths' destiny. When God created man. he provides man with an essential tool, the brain. The brain, however, is no good wit hot use. All the computers in the world can not compare with the brain. The only way. though, for the brain toexpand in knowledge is through education. What America needs today is more Newton. Einsteins, and Shakespears In order to accomplish these great scholars. America must have a stronger and tougher education system. There must be a heavy emphasis on Science. Mathematics, and English programs. The evolution of the computer has taken over. A person needs the knowledge of science, mathematics, and English even to exist in the world, and as computers keep expanding, education needs to be a young persons strength Not only has the computer field expanded immersely. but so has the medical and space programs These fields will keep expanding if and only if America's responsibility towards the youth's education gets stronger To become a doctor, lawyer, or scientist a David Storms, a member of the Exchange Club of Hastings, presents "Student of the Month" award to Joel Christensen. person must go to college. In order to go to college a person must have money. America should provide grants and loans to allow the young people of today to pursue their profession. To stop learning would be a major.sin. The saying. "You learn something everyday" will live on. if higher education is able to be pursued. If doctors and scientists ever stop going back to school to learn new procedures or new formulas, then college would be useless. College is to American education as hot dogs and peanuts are to baseball. After educating its youth, American must provide job opportunities. Jobs are the best way for a young person to meet people, earn New store opens COMMISSION ORDER ch 153 84 (Under authority ot Act 230, P.A. 1925.» amendedl PROTECTION OF MUSKELLLNGE BROOD STOCK ■ GUN LAKE.

In addition, the store offers luncheon meats, canned vegetables, soups, and a complete line of dairy products. R&J Food Marl also in­ cludes a complete self-serve gas station. money and at the same time, training for a profession he might like. Jobs are very important, for without jobs then America would stop functioning. After all an educated child should be a productive adult All the people that come in contact with any young person of today are a big in­ fluence. The most important influence is the family circle. From the day a child is born until he becomes a legal adult, he will set his attitudes and ambitions towards life in general from his parents. The parent needs to be a parent, not a buddy. The parent has to set the rules and standards for him to prosper in *he right direction. From childhood to adulthood, thirteen years are spent in school and the teachers become another influence. The enthusiasm and at­ titudes that the teachers express are picked up by the student, and if taught in the correct prospective the student again will prosper. There are still more influences, such as peers, coaches, and major community people. Youths' destiny is not controlled by just his neighbors, but the whole countrv. Although America has the bulk of the work for the youth's destiny, the youth must respond to all the assistance he is getting. He must contribute, with attention in school, and a good attitude and respect for the teachers, and ambition to learn. Young people of todaymust listen and learn from their elders, because it will benefit them in the long run. Nobody can tell or control the future. If each day someone tries to improve himself and help people around him. then America's future will increasingly get better. The yough of today should be looked at very closely and taken seriously, for the youth of today will soon control America’s destiny.

Are uc required to Hie an income tax return for two? A. No. you need not file at all. Your income subject to tax does not include the social security income, therefore, you have only $6,450 of income subject to the income tax and you need not file unless jjpur income exceeds $7,400. Q. This year I received a letter from IRS staling that 1 owed extra tax due to some interest that they said was paid to me by my hank. Thv> said the interest was reported to me on a form 11199. I paid the lax. but looked through all my hank statements, and never did find this 1W99 form that was supposed to have been sent to me. Did I pay the tax by mistake? A. Probably not. A lot of banks use what is called a 1099 Substitute form That is. they will imprint this in­ formation on the last bank statement for the year, and not send out a separate form This sometimes causes confusion for the taxpayer that receives regular 1099 forms from some banks. and substitute notification from other hanks.

Township officials form organization Township officials in Barry County are planning to expand their educational programs through a local chapter of the Michigan Townships Association (MTA), formed Tuesday. Serving as officers are William Wooer, supervisor of Barry Township, president; Shirley Case, clerk of Hope Township, vice-president; Wayne Miller, supervisor of Baltimore Township, secretary; and Verlyn Stevens, supervisor of Johnstown Township, treasurer. Wooer said that a county-wide association with all of the township officials will give them an opportunity to bring in speakers from the MTA for larger groups than just the 16 super­ visors who hold regular meetings “If we invite somebody in from MTA,” Wooer explained, ‘we would rather have a larger group that in­ cludes clerks, treasurers and trustees. They work together with a lot of dif­ ferent problems and duties." k Wooer said that Kalamazoo, Calhoun and Ionia counties all have local MTA chapters. Wooer said that the group would also try to work with county commissioners to resolve problems. “We don't want to work against them (commissioners)." he said. The new president said that the general public is welcome to attend the meetings, which will be held at the courthouse every third Tuesday of the month during the next four months. The group may go to quarterly meetings later, he said. Each of the 16 townships will con­ tribute $5 a year for mailing costs. Page 1 Schoessel makes pitch A table agreement has been reached tor a new contract between the Thor­ napple Kellogg Non-instructional Association and the board of education, said Supt. Gerald Page. He said he could not release details of the contract until it is ratified by both sides. Ratification by the board might take place March 5. The 51-noninstructional employees (librarians, cafeteria workers, secretaries, teacher's aides, etc.) have been working without a contract since the 1983-84 school year began. A $372,000 loan for an energy con­ servation project has been approved by the De)ton-Kellogg Board of Education. At a special Monday meeting, the board approved the 10-year loan at an interest rate of 9.75 percent from the New Jersey firm of Liss, Tenner and Goldberg, Inc. That interest rate bid was the lowest secured by the board’s financial advisors, Stauder, Barch and Associates of Ann Arbor. The loan will be used to make the school district's buildings more energy efficient. The project is expected to save $200,000 in energy costs over the next 10-years. Most of the improvements are slated for the elementary and middle school buildings. Drawings and specifications for the project are being prepared by Daverman and Associates, a Grand Rapids architectural firm. Dr. John Sanders, Delton's Superintendent, said he is hopeful that construction will begin in June and be completed in August without any disruption of classes. Lenz will quit Hastings school post nasTings school Supenntendent Corl Schoessel (left) discusses the upcoming milloge renewal election with lorry Kensington, one of o dozen or so people who ■ stoned to Schoessel speak Tuesday at the Hastings Area Chamber of Commerce luncheon. Schoessel said the renewal rate of 18.51 mills represents 64 percent of the school's operating budget. Carl Schoessel. Hastings Area Schools superintendent, made his first public pitch Tuesday aimed exclusively at the .March 12 millage renewal. Schoessel. speaking at a noon luncheon of the Hastings Area Chamber of Commerce said a rejection of the 18.51 millage renewal would mean a 64 percent reduction in school operating funds. "We could still open our door come September, but we wouldn't last much beyond that." said Schoessel. The 18.51 voted operating mills has remained unchanged since 1970. Schoessel said, and he expressed concern over the wording on the ballot, which terms the renewal a ‘millage increase". "I'm sure tht_-e are some people in the community who are saying ‘Ah-ha, they're trying to pull a fast one on us', but that's not the case at all." said Schoessel. He said that in the language of the ballot, even a reduc­ tion in the millage rate would be called an increase. Schoessel said the schools are able to ask for the same amount because of a decline in enrollment since 1970, and last fall's millage increase of 2.386 mills. He furthered cited a study which showed Gun Lake engineer defends work by Ken Reibel The president of the engineering firm that designed and built the Gun Lake sewer said original engineering estimates of the number of hookups in the system were off by only nine customers. “We’re proud of the system ’.hat we designed and built." said Fred Timmer, president of Williams and Works Engineering firm in Grand Rapids The Gun Lake Area Sewer Authority (GLASA) officials and township represen­ tatives were scheduled to meet Wednesday night (after the Banner's deadline) to discuss a $3 per month rate increase to make up for a $1.85 million shortfall in connection fees. Some GLASA officials, and Gun Lake area "We're proud of the project that was designed and built. It’s operating properly,” Fr»iTimm«r, Willlami & Works president residents, have suggested that the original engineering estimates of the number of homes that could be connected into the system fell way short, and are partly responsible for the shortfall. Timmer said much preparation went into his firm’s original estimate of 2,450 homes. In 1973, said Timmer, engineers prepared a feasibility study, and a base map, which included the entire service area, and all the lakes now connected to the system, including Marsh Rd. from Gun Lake to Orangeville. A "windshield survey" followed, which Timmer characterized as a land use in­ ventory, where an engineer counted »he houses, cottages, and mobile homes in the service area. "It's a very time consuming process, but it had to be done, because if we design a waste water system, we have to know how many buildings there are and their use,” said Timmer. "If you just look at it from an aerial Continued on Page 2 Hastings ______ Volume 129, No. 8 The Hastings Zoning Board of Appeals Monday night gave permission to the owners of the Striker House for the operation of a restaurant and bar on the historic site. The property, located at 321 S. Jefferson St., is zoned A-O, for apartments and offices. Chi Chi Bieber, who recently purchased the home, told zoning officials she and her usband, Everett, plan to landscape the lot around the home, and purchase an additional lot somewhere nearby for parking. Mrs. Bieber said she wished to restore the old home as close to the original as possible. "A lot of work needs to be done, a lot of work on the inside, a lot of work on the outside, and we want to start as soon as possible," she said. "We want that house to look so good." Zoning officials expressed concern about the lack of parking should the Biebers land­ scape the yard instead of paving it for cars. The City of Hastings requires one square foot of parking for every square foot of restaurant. Officials noted that the area of tne land surrounding the house would meet the area requirements for parking. Mrs. Bieber said she has made inquiries into purchasing some lots surrounding the home. but had no definite parking plans as yet. Nevertheless, she told officials she did not anticipate problems. The city requires par king to be within 300 feet of the business. Mrs. Bieber said restaurant parking would probably be by school operating costs have increased nationally over 85 percent in the period between 1975 and 1982. The school's current rate of 28.896 mills, which will remain the same if the renewal is approved, is still lower than the state average of 32 mills, said Schoessel. adding People in this community are getting a good bargain in their educational system.” "This is a very important millage request for us." he said. Schoessel said that by asking for the renewal in March, instead of during the June school board elections, will save the district $36,000 in interest. He explained that it takes 17 days to notify the city and county clerks of the election results. Schoessel said that by the time the city clerk received official word of the renewal result, the summer tax billings would have gone out. causing the schools to borrow to meet expenses through the fall semester. "We felt it was a responsible decision to hold the election early.” said Schoessel, "You're voting for the community." The superintendent started off his talk by outlining how October's millage increase of 2.386 mills was spent. That increase generated about $500,900, and provided for the re-instatement of laid-off librarians, counselors and teachers, bought 24 new computers, replaced three aged school buses with new. diesel models, and re-instated numerous extra-curricular activites. in­ cluding a high school drama club. “It frightens me to think of what would have happened if that millage failed." said Schoessel. “It frightens me as a superin­ tendent, and it frightens me as a parent.” That millage passed by 18 votes, out of 3,150 cast. Public invited to discuss school Feb. 29 Persons who are interested in discussing any aspect of the Hastings Area School system s programs and projects are invited to meet with Supt. of Schools Carl Schoessel during an evening meeting to be held Wednesday.

Mrs. Bieber received support from the community during the meeting. A man who described himself as a landlord who owned property in theaiea said he was "in favor" of the restaurant, if enough parking could be provided. A man who lives next to the Striker House echoed those sentiments. Esther Walton, a local historian and member of the city council, pointed out that the Striker House is one of two Barry County homes on the historic register. "You have to put them into some sort of business use or lose them, just write them off as a loss," said Walton. The Striker House was built in the 1880's by Daniel Striker, a Hastings attorney, who held several county offices and served as Michigan's secretary state from 1871 to 1875. The Queen Anne style structure was later used as a hospital Chi Chi Biebo* and for offices.

The two members made their an­ nouncements during the board's monthly meeting, held in the junior high school. Shaw won election in 1982 to a two-year term to fill the seat vacated by Dr. Jack Walton In a statement to the board and audience, Shaw likened his term to a "roller coaster ride". He noted that during the first year a millage was lost, libraries and counseling departments were closed and the district was threated with a payless payday. During the second year. Shaw said, citizen involvement increased through the K-12 study group, a millage passed, programs restored and staff members called back.

Washington's Republicans talk extravagantly about how rosy things are, while Democrats are concentrating on government deficits and unemployment, egging on the worrywarts. We can't disagree with that criticism at all. We've been enthusiastic for months about the improvements in the local business picture. Retailers were nearly all smibng at the fall and Christmas season sales increases and the pace has kept up after the first of the year. Real estate is moving again, banks and savings and loans are transacting mortgages and homes are being builL During the past few weeks, our reporters and advertising people have been calling on businesses and industries throughout the community as we prepare next month's "Business and industry Review” section. The story is the same there as nearly every industry reports growth, higher sales and higher employment In the background, however, we've heard the constant tolling of the doomsday bell as politicians argue over deficits, defense spending and domestic programs. Michigan's politicians, too, have been caught in the fray, quarreling over tax hikes, budget limits and tax rollbacks. The stock market dips and dives on a daily basis, often as the result of meaningless rumors You'll remember that a couple of weeks ago the market dropped several points in the space of a few hours based on the rumor that President Reagan had a heart attack. We continually see the market drop when the rumor hits that the Federal Reserve Board is tightening the money supply. We know that no solution to this problem comes easily. Politicians have a tradition of running their election campaigns and getting attention while in office by criticizing the other guy. We think the business people and the public deserve some straight talk from jut leaders. We've heard enough criticism of the party in power from the opposition. No matter which party is in control, the opposition too often bases its campaign on criticism instead of outlining specific plans of action. Let's talk about what is good in government, what is good in our society and how we are going to build on that. For example: Jackie McGregor, the Lansing Republican who is expected to run against Rep. Howard Wolpe, D-Delta Township, told us that she doesn't like Wolpe because of his voting record. What we don’t know after hearing her speak and talking to her privately is what she stands for. We only know what she is against. (We will concede that she's in support of Ronald Reagan for reelection.) State Senator Robert Welborn, who we enjoy working with and find a great deal of common ground politically, often speaks more in criticism of the Blanchard administration and the Democrats in general than in support of specific Republican programs or Welborn programs. We think that the senator enjoys the life in Lansing, so surely there must be some positive aspects of government that keep him there. We'd like to hear them. We're heading into a big election year, where everyone from township trustees to the president will he seeking office. The best service that anyone running can do for the citizens is to give them straight talk about where they stand and give up the shouting about what they are against LETTERS to the Editor: Dean’s tax fight plea commented on To the Editor: An answer to Paul Richard Dean's plea to the Board of Commissioners to take a strong stand against the State Tax Commission's decision to raise property evaluations in Barry County. Dick Dean has been supervisor of Rutland Township and was commissioner for Rutland and Irving townships until defeated by Bernard Hammond in the last election. In all that time, taxes have been going up by leaps and bounds and I have never seen or heard of Dick Dean trying to do anything about it. Is he running for election again? The two years that Dick was a com­ missioner, many were the votes to spend money. He was a solid member of the 6-to-5 majority. Regional government, bussing, plus many other money-spending ventures are his responsibility. The board is leaning that way today. If theD.O.T. has the gas tax money to start the bus systems, let them use gas tax for the continuance of the same. We just had in­ crease in gas taxes again. They never get enough. The next commissioner is going to be the one to have to vote for increased millage to run busses. Dick Dean's vote (I feel) would be to continue them. I get uptight when I hear people referred to as civic-minded citizens. I paid for my daughter's first year of schooling because civic-minded citizens had a Sept. 10 deadline on school admissions and I had missed it by nine days. I would have had to hold her back then, but 1 moved. If Dean's serious about leading a crusade, let's just have an income tax. Let’s have property tax only for township and county, not schools.

Ward, 21, of 6405 Thornapple Lake Rd., said he hit his brakes to avoid hitting a rabbit that had crossed in front of his vehicle, then skidded off the roadway and into a tree.

Department of Natural Resources officials said that a controversial plan to turn Gun Lake into a muskellunge brooding lake may be stopped. The controversy between the DNR and Gun Lake residents over the brooding lake program may be resolved within the month, says Warren A'ward, a DNR fisheries habitat biologist. Alward's opinion was voiced during a meeting between the DNR and Gun Lake fishermen on last Wednesday at the Yankee Springs Township Hail. Close to 200 fishermen and interested spectators attended the meeting. The dispute stems from the DNRs decision to use Gun Lake as a muskellunge brooding stock lake. The DNR has prohibited the possession of muskellunge less than 38 inches in length on five Michigan Lakes including Gun and Thornapple Lakes. In addition, beginning April 1. 1984, the DNR has banned spearing on 31 lakes in­ cluding Gun and Thomapple Gun Lake fishermen claim the muskellunge are the chief reason for what the group claims is a fall-off of the panfish catch at Gun Lake. The group wants to halt the DNR from stocking the lake with muskies. The open hearing on Feb. 15 was called to air opinions and discuss the issue. Alward, who fielded numerous questions from the large group of fishermen present at the meeting, said the DNR is not turning its back to the plight of the fishermen. “It’s obvious there is a lot of concern with what the muskies are doing with the pan­ fish," he told the group. "We will be con­ sidering stopping the program — it certainly is a possibility.” Alward. along with Paul Sheppelman of the DNR. answered many of the fishermen's queries concerning the impact of the muskellunge on the panfish including the growing rate of various types of panfish as well as the muskellunge. Alward contends the muskies actually have "very little impact" on the panfish population. In most cases it depends on how many muskies are out there," he said. "If we have one muskie for every six acres of water we're doing well. “I'm not convinced one way or the other the impact they are having. We don't have enough information to say what is hap­ pening. I wish we had more. Alward added. "I'm impressed with the numbers we have out there (in Gun Lake). We're getting a good survival rate." Alward said an average muskie will be planted at seven inches in the spring. By fall the muskie will reach 10 inches, and by the second fall 20 inches. The third year, an average muskie could reach 26-28 inches and grow to a full length of over 30 inches. Alward said a 20 pound muskie will take upward of 400 pounds offish in a year. As for the spearing policy, Alward says such a policy is standard procedure for the DNR in protecting a brood stock lake. He says such a policy protects the muskellunge, a particularly vulnerable fish when young. Alward says the policy will continue to be in effect as long the DNR uses the lake as a brood stock lake. Alward admits the DNR's communication with the fishermen in the past has been “inexcusable." He says the DNR will "improve our track record there.” Brian Akers, head of the Gun Lake Fishermen Committee, was satisfied with the results of the open meeting and h^pes the DNR will continue to listen to the opinions of his group. "I think it went pretty well," said Akers of the meeting. "We had a lot of questions answered that the fishermen had wondered about for a long time. •'Obviously the DNR is committed to two things: To rethink the brood stock postion and to work closer with us. We're happy with both decisions." Gun Lake engineer, continued photograph, you won't know the difference between a cottage and a garage." Timmer said that Williams and Works updated its connection counts in 1975-76 with another field check. Timmer said he thinks GLASA fell short of its connection estimates when it changed the equivalency factors for commercial users. Commercial usage is based on a table which assigns a value for each type of business — a service station is assigned .25 for each pump, a party store .1 per employee, and so on. Bj GLASA's estimate, the change in commercial equivalents, which occurred in 1980, resulted in a shortfall of 169.5 user equivalents. Timmer also pointed to a loss of 100 customers included in original report due to "sewer deletions”. He explained that some individuals tore down cabins rather than pay Light turnout for Middleville election Incumbent Village President Robert Sullivan defeated Democratic challenger Marge Loew by a 43-36 vote Monday in the Middleville primary election. Sullivan's seven-vole margin could have been turned around by 18 ballots, of a total 107 cast, that were counted as "spoiled", possibly because the voters crossed party lines. In a primary election, voters are barred from crossing party lines on the same ballot. Two of the six trustees on Monday's ballot are Republicans. There are approximately 1,100 registered voters in Middleville. Middleville voters — six of them — wrote in Regina Stein, 504 Johnson St., for village assessor. Because no one had been nominated, the position was left blank on the ballot. However, the Barry County Board of Canvassers ruled Tuesday that a write-in candidate must have ten votes to be elected. Middleville Village Clerk Shirley Eaton said the village has been without an assessor for two years. In the 1982 election, no one was nominated for the job, and there were no write-ins. "It's one of those jobs that exists, and there's nothing to do." explained Eaton. She said the township assessor does the job of assessing for the village. About the only thing the village assessor, who is not paid, does is sign the village tax rolls once a year, said Eaton. Middleville voters will go to the polls again March 12 to decide between Sullivan and Republican challenger David Tubergen for the village president's job. Also to be decided with the March 12 election are five village trustee positions. ACT registration deadline March 2 The registration date for Hastings students taking the ACT test on March 31 will be March 2. The ACT test, which is one of the requirements for college admissions to all state colleges and universities and most private colleges in Michigan, will be ad­ ministered in the lectur- hall of the high school. The "code number" to use in a student's registration for the Hastings High School Test Center is "7852".

However, a death and a resignation in 1983 created two partial terms, which were put up for election this year. $2,400 in connection fees. Other deletions occurred when the county health department ruled that septic tanks were doing the job on the first 300 feet west of Briggs off Chief Noonday. Other problems occurred in the tabulations of user equivalent tables, said Timm"-. "Suppose we said that a bar should be 50 units according to the number of tables and chairs they had when we field checked it. What would happen if the bar’s owners look half of the tables and chairs out when the sewer authority assigned them the cost? It could impact substantially." said Timmer. Timmer said Williams and Works has been involved in 35 to 40 similar sewer system­ treatment plants, including the ones in Nash­ ville and Middleville. “We’re proud of the project that was designed and built. It's operating properly." he said. PUBLIC OPINION ...by Ken Reibel and Elaine Gilbert CPR for high schoolers?

Denis Munson Jonet Rushford Dorothy Textor • QUESTION • Cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) instruction would become a high scnool graduation requirement for all Michigan students under proposed legislation recently introduced in the Michigan House. HR 5293. if adopted, would make Michigan the first state in the nation to require CPR instruction as part of public high school graduation requirements. Do you think high school students need to learn CPR? Colleen Kearney. Hastings: “As long as the instruction is done during school hours. They teach everything else in high school...It's good to teach things that apply to life, instead of just preparing people for college." Kellie Faul. Lake Odessa: “Yes, I think it is a good idea. It would be better than study hall." Kellie calls CPR “a practical sub­ ject”. Kris Howe, Hastings: “I thi.ik that's a good idea. If somebody's drowning, an J there's only kids around, then the kids could help. Also, it's a plus that the students will grow up knowing CPR. and that helps everyone." Ron Hoyer, Hastings: "I think it would be very benefitial Many times rural areas can't afford nearby ambulance service, and response time is longer Somebody in the family should know CPR." Boyer, who rur..-» the Hastings Ambulance Service, said the Michigan Heart Assoc, and the Red Crass teach CPR in 12 hours. Janet Rushford. Hastings: "I do believe it is a good idea to be able to do CPR." However, she expressed mixed feelings about making it a mandatory requirement for students. "It's definitely important., it would teach them (students) to be concerned for another person's life." She said one potential problem .night be that after graduation, the majority of students wouldn't go back for re-certification in CPR every year as required. "A person might pass th-? course and feel like they remembered and be ineffective in per­ forming CPR later on...The biggest danger would be in doing it incorrectly (if they had forgotten) and that might be more harm than help. On the other hand, if they were able to help to some extent (in an emergency situation)...it might be the turning point >n someone's life." Barbara Furrow, Hastings: “1 definitely think they (students) should know CPR. I think it would be better to make it available and encourage it, but not make it mandatory. I approve of the concept, but I know how the public opposes the idea of more regulations and requirements." Denis Munson. Hastings: "I think its great, fantastic and a long time in coming. Just think how many more lives would be saved." He added that with his experience working with the county Red Cross, he has found that young people learn CPR very well and have excellent retention and are usually less inhibited than an adult in a real emergency situation. “I hope it (the proposed state legislation) comes to pass." Dorothy Texter. Delton: "It's an excellent idea...it's a kit of protection for a lot of people From my experience. I feel the more young people can learn about that sort of thing the better because they might evenally save their own child's life or someone in their own family. So the more education we could give them — CPR. first aid, or anything the better In some other countries it is mandatorv for voting people to take CPR." �The Hastings Bonner— Thursday. February 23. 1984. Page 3 Mid-winter thaw brings on weight restrictions The mid-winter thaw of the past week brought a taste of spring to both warm­ weather worshipers and to area roadways. For the latter it means load restrictions are in effect and that potholes and muddy byways are the norm. “The load limits were put on (by the county) at 7 a m last Tuesday." said Don Wolf, assistant engineer for the Barry County Road Commission, a normal procedure he added when the traditional “January thaw" occurrs. "It's not unusual for us to put on the restrictions when we have this type of thaw, " he noted, “and to keep '.hem on until it freezes again and then put them back on in the spring. It all depends on the kind of weather we get. If it doesn't get cold enough again, they'll stay on until the ground drys out." Wolf added that, along with county roads, restrictions are also in effect on all the state roads in the county except M-43 north of Hastings. The reduction of the legal load limits af­ Activity on upswing for planning office Activity was on an upswing for the coun­ ty's Planning and Zoning Dept, in 1983. That was the report from Winifred E. Keller, County Planning Director, to the Board of Commissioners at its meeting last week. The office handles the administration and enforcement of the County Zoning Ordinance and the Michigan State Construction, Soil Erosion and Electrical Codes as they pertain to new buildings and alterations, including inspections and the issuance of permits, for 11 of the 16 county townships. Those townships include Assyria, Barry, Three new cars purchased for sheriff department Bids were accepted last week for the purchase of three new cars for the Barry County Sheriff Dept. The Board of Commissioners accepted the low bid of $31,006 from Renner Ford of Hastings for two full size Ford LTDs and an intermediate-size Plymouth Reliant. There were three other area auto dealers who submitted bids. The board also approved the purchase of carpeting for the Equalization Department's office. A low bid of $882 from Brown's Car­ peting of Hastings was accepted. Trail leads to suspect’s door Two Hastings City Police officers, in­ vestigating the Thursday night break-in of a garage, followed a trail of gasoline a short distance to a Jefferson St. address. and arrested a 19-year-old man. Carlton, Castleton, Hastings. Irving, ...o, Johnstown, Maple Grove, Orangeville. Thornapple and Woodland, as well as the Villages Middleville, Nashville and Woodland. The other townships and municipalities handle their own planning and zoning matters. In addition, the office assists the County Planning Commission with its work and the County Zoning Board of Appeals with variance requests. Using comparisons between 1982 anu 1983, the County Planning and Zoning Department showed: — Revenue fees increased by $8015. — Receipts increased by 112. — Estimated cost of construction in­ creased by *2,133,782. — Houses increased by seven and double­ wide and single-wide mobile homes in­ creased by 28. — Commercial buildings increased by five. — Remodeling and additions to com­ mercial buildings increased by four. — Building inspections increased by 42 and electrical inspections increased by 140. Commenting on those figures, Keller said “we feel the increases reflect a positive change occurring in the county”. Actual totals showed that the office han­ dled 625 building permits, collecting $31,494 in revenue fees for those permits, and that there was an estimated cost of construction of $5,873,879. It also handled 91 other types of permits, collecting $5567 in revenue fees. The department's building and electrical inspectors traveled 14,854 miles, making 1589 inspections. The bulk of those inspections were for buildings, 1001, and on electrical work, 462. The department is also assisting the Planning Commission with its development of a land-use plan for the county and is helping amend the definition of cable television for zoning purposes. fects such types of vehicles as milk haulers, garbage haulers, cement trucks, and semis' The limits are determined by certain criteria, including axic and tire size. Deterioration in the form of potholes and ruts, which this type of thaw brings to blacktopped roads and to side roads, are •‘normal" as well. Wolf said. “We’re having as much break-up as we always do." he explained. The problems we have with roads, he said, occur when there's still frost in the ground and the surface begins thawing. "The moisture stays on top and it gets sloppy," he said. “I'm not sure if all the frost is out of the ground yet, but most of it probably's out by­ now, ” Wolf added. “Some roads are worse than others, particularly where the ground is heavier, but that's the way it always is " Last year's winter also saw a mid­ February thaw, because weather conditions then were more mild, that warm period resulted in worse road conditions for the area. Warming spell The warming spell that raised temperatures and springtime expectations in the area this past week also brought on the traditional load restrictions lor heavier vehicles. The restrictions went into effect last Tuesday morning. Condilions on the county roadways in the form of increasing numbers of potholes and muddy ruts are '’normal" for this type of mid-winter thaw, said the Barry County Road Commission.

Betty Thalman Betty Thalman of Delton lias experienced the best of both worlds — she knows what it's like to be career oriented with a full-time job and to be a full-time housewife. Prior to "retiring" from a full-time position eight years ago, Betty says, "I used to wonder what ladies did at home all day. “Now I know. They are just as busy and work just as hard, but there's no pay in­ volved." In the Delton area, Betty is well-known fur her singing and her baking. Does she sing while she bakes? "We sing all the time," she responds. With the Delton chapter of Sweet Adelines. Betty sings bass. She has been a member of the group for nine years and says "it has been a lot of fun. It fills a gap. I needed an involvement outside of work." Belonging to the group offers an excellent chance to meet new people and it’s also a rewarding feeling to sing to others, especially persons confined to nursing homes, said Betty. "Women's barbershop is more progressive than it used to be,” she notes. At many of the adelines’ performances, Betty serves as master of ceremonies. She also takes part in the group's annual musical show. "The show is always challenging. We ail need something to stretch for and a reason to set a goal and reach it.” The Delton chapter is comprised of women from a number of area towns and Betty points out that the women come from dif­ ferent backgrounds and jobs but "come together in a unit when we sing.” She also has served on the adelines regional board of directors for four years. Betty has been a Delton resident since the mid-1950s. She was born in a farmhouse in the Dexter area, near Ann Arbor. After graduation from Dexter High School, she won a one-year 4-H scholarship to Michigan State University where she '.ook education courses. After that she tried her hand at working as an office secretary for the State Farm Bureau, but she soon realized she'd rather not be at a desk all day and switched to being a field assistant who traveled around the state recruiting and organizing Farm Bureau Young People's groups. Through her activity in the organization, Betty earned enough points in a contest to take a trip to Europe. At a Farm Bureau function, she met her husband. Vernon, at a Dowling camp. They lived in Berrien County for two years. Her next career venture was with Stanley Home Products. She started as a dealer, became a manager and then was branch manager in charge of 300 people in the Mt. Clemens area. Betty's branch was ranked number one in the state. Later in the Delton area, she was a manager for the company, but says she retired about eight years ago as manager but has kept her dealership. In addition, she currently does br.oysitting, baking for friends and neighbors, and works for BoMar Research based in Kalamazoo, helping with telephone surveys, etc. Betty and her husband have five children and two grandchildren. Their children are Beth Herington and Dan who are both married; Betsy, who will soon graduate from Evansville University; Don who is a fresh­ man at Saginaw Valley State College; and Becky, 16. w.,o is a student at Delton-Kellogg High School Betty seems to handle a tremendous amount of baking with ease. On baking days. Betty usually starts her work about 5 a.m. She bakes dozens of loaves of whole wheat, rye, and white bread each week plus many pies, cakes, sweet rolls and old-fashioned raisin-cinnamon rolls. "I was the oldest of eight kids, and we always did our own baking, " she says. "I practiced a lot in 4-H too." Her children often help her with the baking and Betty says, "it's fun." One of her favorite recipes is for a brown sugar chocolate cake which she says “is very, very easy to make. "It has a little different texture. It’s not heavy and it does not fall apart like box cakes. I like the way it tastes." Betty said her mother has used the recipe for years. “I think it was a neighborhood recipe.” Betty's Brown Sugar Chocolate Cake Blend 1-box brown sugar and 1-stick oleo.

Gordon Arnie came home to Woodland from Blodgett Hospital in Grand Rapids on Saturday. He had been therefor several days with a serious heart problem. Zion Lutheran Church held a Father and Children's Banquet on Wednesday. Feb. 15. at ’’-echurch. The banquet was sponsored by Zion's Lutheran Brotherhood. Dinner was potluck with rolls, butter, coffee and milk furnished by the Brotherhc od. The meal was served by members of the ALCW. Toastmaster was Claude Smith. Larry Raffler led devotions after the meal, the “Father's Welcome" was given by Bill Freedlund and the "Children's Response" was given by Sarah Freedlund and Nathan Hetchler. John Kenney led some songs. Pastor Randall spoke very briefly and the entire group of around 80 people moved into the sanctuary where a few other people joined them. Mrs. Carl Brod beck then showed several of Carl's short, 40-year-old home movies of farming around Woodland with horses and early tractors. Some of the men working in the fields shown in the movies were Adam and Emil Baitinger, Cliff and Vic Sawdy. Verdon Stowell, and all three Reuther brothers — Carl, Fred and Eugene. Eugene Reuther narrated the movies. The last one shown was of making maple syup around 1940 with horses and some horse-pulling contests held at the Ionia Fair with field horses. Mrs. P r-xibeck also showed some scenes of the Zion Lutheran Church Centennial Celebration in 1956 and the Democratic Convention in Chicago in 1956. Pastor Clifford Randall showed some very nice slides of a missionary trip he made .last August to Bear Skin Lake in Canada,. The small Cree Indian village where he Helped operatea Bible school for the native children for two weeks is just a short distance west of Hudson Bay and is reachable in summer only by pontoon airplane. Pastor Randall's work trip was arranged through the Lutheran Association of Missionary Pilots, known as LAMP. The village’s only places to purchase anything were a branch store of the Hudson Bay Company and a co-op store. Pastor Randall said a plain can of soup cost $1.50 there. He had lots of slides of children, some slides of very small, rather crude houses — one of which he said housed 12 people in two rooms — lovely scenery, and large firewood piles. He said that there are very few jobs for the Indians who live here and, except for some happing during the winter, most of them live on government subsidies because they are no lunger allowed to follow their traditional nomadic lifestyle. At one time, these people moved seasonally from the Arctic Circle to the southern parts of Canada each year.

They swapped Valentines before Woodland Fire Chief Ron Coats talked to them about smoke detectors and fire alarms. Lincoln's murder, needless to say. could not have been more unexpected unless it had occured 20 years later during his retirement as an eldei statesman. The Civil War was all but over — General Lee having surrendered to General Grant barely a week before. Great rejoicing had filled the Capitol and filtered down through the North. Peace was finally at hand, internecine rivalries were buried, the slavery question was settled at last. The country did not reckon on the brazen actions of a lone fanatic con­ vinced the "lost cause" wasn't. When Booth pulled the trigger in Ford Theater on that 1865 "Good Friday", the nation recoiled in horror and cloaked itself in the symbolism of the martyr who fell on the anniversary of Jesus' execution centuries earlier. Nothing Abraham Lincoln ever did in his life quite so inspired — or profited — America's artists as did his death Currier and Ives' hand-iinted lithographic print of that momentous event was but one of hundreds of lithos, photographs and paintings that were widely circulated during that period of intense national mourning that followed Lincoln's murder by John Wilkes Booth on April 14, 1865. The assassination inspired portratists to make the martyred Lincoln far bigger in death than he had been in life, a distortion that proved irresistable to the American public. The shot that killed Lincoln 118 years ago may have snuffed out a great life, but it simultaneously breathed un­ precedented vitality into an entire industry, igniting a major national demand for pictures of the slain President. Many of these pictures suffered from sloppy technique, poor research, and a constricting dependence upon out­ moded photographs as source models for Lincoln's appearance during his final moments, and even outright fakery. Many seemed to be the product of commercial competition, not art, for which speed counted far more than composition, quantity more than quality. The news that the President’s remains would come through such towns as New York, Indianapolis, and Chicago triggered a frantic race for the "mourning badgeThese were tin­ types of Lincoln's idealized homely countenance draped in gold mask and black ribbon, fastened to pins to be worn on the lapel. The weekly pictorial newspaper, "Harpers", carried post-assassination woodcuts of the murder and subsequent death-bed scenes. The earliest of the post-assassination sheet prints were depicted of the President in a Washington boarding house across the street from Ford Theater. Though they were created to satisfy the national curiosity for details of the tragedy, they hardly reflected the violence or the awesome histor.cal repercussions of the event. Instead, they were as cosmeticized as the Lincoln corpse that toured the nation on its journey to its Springfield, Ill. grave. The morticians had repaired Lincoln's awful wound and petrified him for *he month-long series of funerals, guaranteeing that mourners would be spared the sickening vision attending death by gunfire. Picture publishers offered subdued portraits of Lincoln's murder and death, nearly all showing him at peace and rest. Since the pictures offered the sole mirror through which the public could "witness" the tragedy retrospectively, there was much public interest in these productions, and they proved great favorites, even though they were romantic and exaggerated For the death scenes, Lincoln was depicted without any trace of pain or discomfort and usually without bleeding His surgeons were portrayed silting stoically at his bedside, but not at work — as they actually were periodically removing blood clots from his wound; or replacing blood-soaked pillows as his life ebbed away. Americans never saw the true picture of Lincoln in death nor was his widow depicted in the hysterical frenzy she suffered that night. Instead, she is pictured as a calm, dignified First Lady, moving gracefully through ii>e event, appropriately gowned for the occasion. Even though Secretary of War Edwin Stanton had barred Mrs. Lincoln from the death room because of her agonized outbursts, the Currier and Ives print placed her at her dying husband's bedside, weeping onto the coverlet at the moment of his expiration. Different artists depicted different death-bed scenes. Other artists of the day depicteC Lincoln and Washington together in Heaven. The quantity of martyr pictures that have survived — along with the related images of assawin Booth and his co­ conspirators, archival photographs of the funerals themselves, artifacts and documents of the great tragedy precludes a full cataloguing of every existing picture. Their variety, mysterious sources and sheer numbers are enough to confound most scholars, even while fascinating many collectors of Lincoln memorabilia. Prints of Lincoln's home were widely circulated after the assassination. In some. Henry Clay's home was depicted as that of Lincoln It was labeled "Home of Our Martyred President", probably because it was more opulent than Lincoln's own modest Springfield. Ill. home. Pictures of Booth were nearly as ubiquitous as pictures of Lincoln after the assassination. He is depicted as a debonair leading man of the stage. Another keepsake of the times is the Booth “Wanted" posters. A reward of $50,000 was offered for Booth and $25,000 was offerd for each of the ac­ complices, David C. Harold and John H. Surrat. Americana collectors and specialists continue their adament interest in these primitive visual records of a national spiritual upheaval. These were the images that most successfully touched the “mystic chords" of America's naive consciousness in its period of most intense hero worship. Historians will continue to belittle these flawed tributes, and ap­ propriately so. but collectors will continue to seek them out for what they reveal of an era. If the}' do not show with precision the 1865 images of Abraham Lincoln, they certainly in­ dicate the image his contemporaries wished for him.

"It's the best we’ve shot in a long time.' The Saxons jumped to a 26-16 first quarter lead and increased it to 49-34 at the half thanks largely to 27 first half points by Broun. Hastings could build the lead no larger than 15 points and by the end of the quarter led 64-52 The closest the Blue Devils could come in the f nal eight minutes was 74-64 with less than four minutes left. But Hastings ran off eight straight points to go up 82-64 and the sparse crowd started to file out. The win ups Hastings' record to 12-5 oven II with Harper Creek coming up on Fridx y and a trip to Delton next Tuesday. O'Mara believes the win, the team's secord in a row after three losses, should help n the momentum category. "A win becomes important in terms of executing as well as you can at this point in the season,*' said O'Mara, who admits his team can still be helped in that department. "Ify«-uaren't executing you’re going to have lapses.” by Steve Vrdder Whoever claimed that lightning doesn’t strike twice must have been talking about Mark Brown. The Saxon all-stater, coming off one of his poorest shooting nights of the season last Friday in Marshall, hopped back on track Tuesday night by firing in 50 points in an 8966 dismantling of Gull Lake. Brown hit only 10 of 31 field goals against Marshall, but after sputtering at the beginning against Gull Lake, the junior guard canned 18 of 30 from the floor and added 14 of 18 from the line for his 50 points. It was the fourth time in Brown s career he has hit for 50 points or better. Hastings coach Denny O’Mara said his team was surprised by Gull Lake’s man-toman defense. That defense was particularly advantageous to the talents of Brown. ‘We don't see that very much. Albion is the only team to play man-to-man against us.” said O'Mara. As a team, Hastings hit a season-high 67 per cent <32 of 52) from the field. The Saxons only missed nine shots in the second half.

Big Wheel store opens its doors Sunday morning Big Wheel, the new discount department store on the west end of Hastings, opens its doors for business this Sunday morning. "Grand Opening Day" events commence at 9 a.m. that day when company officials stage a "ribbon cutting” ceremony. Shop­ perswill then be welcomed into the store and greeted with numerous special bargains awaiting them until the 9 p.m. closing time. To accomadate shoppers on "Grand Opening" Sunday. Big Wheel is providing free shuttle bus service from the fairgrounds (if the parking lot is full) to the store from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. Buses are provided by the Barry County Transit. Big Wheel features over 80 departments, including family fashion, automotive, hardware, sporting goods, lawn and garden, health and beauty aids, toys, and various food items. "Home do-it-yourselfers will appreciate the large selection of hardware, paint and plumbing and electrical supplies," said Steve Lynn, manager of the Hastings store. Lynn noted that Big Wheel offers quality merchandise, including famous name brands, at affordable prices. "In addition," he said, "several customer services are available, such as speedy refunds and convenient layaway. "Many new shopping features will be of­ fered as well," Lynn pointed out, "including computerized registers for fast checkout services and convenient payment plans." He added that managers and associates are encouraged to take an active part in the community and that community fundraising activities will be welcomed. Among the other features of the store are carpeted fashion departments, wide shop­ ping aisles and a bright, color-coordinated decor. Once open the store will employ ap­ proximately 45 area residents. The new Hastings store is the 68th one for the Pennsylvania-based chain with headquarters in New Castle. Along with that state and Michigan. Big Wheel has outlets in Ohio. West Virginia, New York. Connecticut, and Rhode Island. Beginning in 1914 when the first Fisher’s store was opened in New Castle, the firm grew and prospered as a clothing specialist. In the 1950s. however, the discount depart­ ment store phenomenon swept the nation, offering more departments than Fishers' and tougher competition. "As a result,” said Lynn, "corporate executives decided that the chain would have to join that fast-growing field by expanding its size. "It was at that time that the concept of the 8000 square-foot clothing store was replaced by the chain with the 43,500 square-foot Big Wheel seen today." he explained. Hastings 6th graders to perform concert On Thursday. March 15. at 7 p.m.. the Hastings sixth grade will be presenting its first concert performance. Not only will the sixth grade band Im? performing many of their musical selections at this concert, but it will also be an educational experience for the students and families as towhat sixth grade band is about A reception will be held immediately following the concert as an opportunity for parents to meet and talk to the band direc­ tors about their child's progress in band. The concert will be held in the high school gymnasium There will be no admission charge The Hastings City Council learned Monday night that the city’s health care insurance is threatened by <i state law which prohibits municipalities from pooling their resources into insurance trusts. Councilmember Mary Lou Gray, chair­ man of the city’s Parks. Recreation, and Insurance Committee, told aidermen that under a present extension, granted by the Slate Insurance Commissioner, Hastings' 66 municipal workers will be covered by the trust, until June 1. 1984. After that date, Hastings, and 23 other municipalities in the trust face termination. In order for the insurance pool concept to exist, the slate legislature must pass specific enabling legislation. permitting cities to form insurance trusts. However, that is extremely unlikely in an election year, and Hastings will most certainly be forced to seek a new insurance carrier. Hastings is one of 24 municipalities, comprised of 824 municipals workers, which have pooled resotrces into an insurance trust. Other municpalities include I.ake Odessa, with four employees, and Mid­ The Hastings dleville. with ten. Under the trust provisions, Hastings pays about $114 per employee per month into the fund. The trust then pays the first $20,000 of a claim, and the remainder of the claim is picked up by a "re-insurer.” Gray said that Hastings is “locked into” Blue Cross-Blue Shield, or a "comparable" health care plan, under the provisions of the city’s union contracts. Gray said the trust, administered by Yeager & Co., is exactly like Blue Cross-Blue Shield contract. “No other company that I have found can write the same policy as Blue Cross-Blue Shield." Gray told councilmembers. Consequently, it will cost Hastings about $1,800 a month more for the same policy under Blue Cross-Blue Shield, a 25 percent increase from what the city is currently paying. Gray said Hastings left Blue Cross-Blue Shield to join the trust Jan. 1, 1982. "When we left Blue Cross, we saved an incredible amount of money," she said. Gray said Hastings may get help from the Michigan Municipal League, which is "Looking to pull us out of the fire." She said the league may get Blue Cross-Blue Shield to contract. Continued on page 12 Banner Devoted to the Interests of Barry County Since 1856 Volume 129, No. 9 lower its rates with the 24 municipalities joining at once Gray recommended that the council stay with Yeager & Co. until the Municipal League takes action. The council agreed and unanimously endorsed the recommendation. Gray told the council that problems began in November when State Insurance Com­ missioner Nancy Baerwaldt instructed Yeager & Co. to bring its business in line with Michigan law Public Act 138 of 1982. described as enabling legislation to allow municipalities to pool property and liability insurance coverage, contained the exclusion "A municipal group self insurance pool may not provide for hospital, medical, surgical, or denial benefits to employees to membered municipalities in the pool " “Everything possible has been done to save the trust." said Gray. "Insurance Committee Member Dave Jasperse reassured city employees that there is no need to worry; continuous coverage would be provided and coverage would be the same as the original Blue Cross Hastings, Michigan Price 20c Thursday, March 1, 1984 County hears proposed Barry Medical Facility expansion project by Steve Horton A proposal to expand, renovate and upgrade certain areas of the Barry Medical Facility for an estimated $1.4 million was p esented Tuesday afternoon to the Barry County Board of Commissioners. The project that was put before the board for consideration would involve: — adding on an additional 8000 square feet to the facility, including a new 60-by-60 foot entrance area to be used by administrative personnel and twodayroom areas (located at either end of the building) for iecreation, dining and other informal uses by residents. — renovating 6000 square feet of the facility, in particular the current ad­ ministration area which would be used as a support area for resident care. — upgrading existing mechanical systems tu add new capacity and make them more efficient. A major aim in this area would be the construction of a new external duct system for heating and ventilating that would allow each room to have its own climate control, adjustable to the occupant’s comfort. Leading off the afternoon presentation was Richard Dean of Hastings, chairman of the project's finance committee. Addressing the commissioners. Dean noted that Barry Medical has "some very definite needs that have to be met to bring it up to standard and make it a contemporary care facility". "As you know it was built in 1957," Dean said. “Very little has been done to improve or maintain it since that dale, other than on an emergency basis. Much of the equipment is still original. "The site use to be called the county poor farm.” he added. "It’s not anymore. It's an extended care facility that for the most part has been paying its own way. Had we been fair to it and put money into a depreciation fund (to cover improvements and main­ tenance needs i we would not be in this problem. But that's the past and we're here to talk about the future " Giving details of the proposal was Tim Currey. an architect with Daverman Associates of Grand Rapids. "We've been working with Barry Medicrl officials for the past several months to ad­ dress various concerns they have in keeping the place viable for the future," Currey told the commissioners. “Our approach to this has been to attack a formidable project as modestly as possible and also allow the facility to be viewed as more contemporary. He said that, being 25-10-30 years old, the building's mechanical systems are in need of upgrading in a "major sort of way". "This would lie one of the higher line costs." he pointed out Currey said the theory behind the proposed additions and changes was that "it's much less costly to duplicate administration of­ fices and certain support areas than it is the areas for patient care and those support Tim Currey (left), an architect with Daverman Associates, points out some details of the proposed expansion, re­ novation, and upgrading of the Barry Medical Facility to Richard Feldpousch (center) and Richard Dean, members of the project's finance committee.. The facility is seeking approval from the county's Board of Commissioners to pursue this estimated $1.4 million endeavor. areas, such as the kitchen. Another consideration, he said, was the need for additional space to accomadate new equipment and larger treatment areas because of longer lifespans and because families have increasing expectations as to the services that sould be provided a resident. "These expanded treatment needs, these expectations for certain services to be provided, some of the energy considerations we now have, were not factors when the facility was built 27 years ago," Currey pointed out. “To accomodate those things, to handle some of the increased personnel and recordkeeping that's occurred over the years in the administration area, and also to be perceived a~ a contemporary facility by prospective residents and their families, requires that we take some of these con­ struction and renovation steps " Dean, again addressing the com­ missioners. said that members of the project's finance committee — which include County Commissioners James Gordon and Rae Hoare. Thomas Stebbins of Hastings City Bank: Helen Wenger, chairwoman of the county Social Services Board. Richard Feldpausch of Felpausch Food Centers, and Thomas Johnston, the CPA advisor — are proposing at this preliminary stage to finance the expansion and renovation by selling bonds through the county’s building authority. Those bonds in turn, said Dean. would be payable over a 25-year period, figuring a 12 percent annual interest rate. Continued on page 2 Funding alternatives sought following sewer rate increases by Ken Reibel Township and Gun Lake Area Sewer Authority officials are looking into new ways of raising funds, following approval last week of r. $3 per month user fee hike. Many are hopeful that enough funds can be brought in from extending the system to forestall another $3 hike in 1985. The townships are Yankee Springs and Orangeville in Barry County, and Wajland and Martin Townships in Allegan County. Wayland and Martin voted unanimously for the hike. The vote in both Orangeville and Yankee Springs Townships were 4-1. System users are currently paying $12 a month to use the sewers. Starling April 1. the cost will be $15 per month. GLASA officials originally proposed doubling the rate to $24 per month The $81.072 raised annually by the increase will be used to start paying back the $1.85 million deficit accrued by the operation of the sewer system since it started taking on hook-ups in 1980. By one estimate, it will take another $4 a month just to pay back the deficit at an annual rate of $140,000, over the 15 years of the $7.7 million bond issue. Many township officials and area residents say the system can make back the deficit by extending the sewer system By one estimate, there are 240 "buildable lots" in the sewer district. But Rich Pierson. manager operator of GLASA's waste water treatment plant, pointed out that it is not always cost efficient to lay down extra sewer line. He said it costs between $20 and $30 a foot to lay new line, depending on if the ground is dry The cost of connecting a residence to the system is $2,700, approximately the cost of Continued to page 3 �.11 The Hastings Banner — Thursday.

Voters in the Hastings School District are being asked to return to the polls on Monday, March 12 to approve a renewal of 18.51 mills for operating funds. Passage of the renewal is essential to keeping the doors open in the schools next year. We urge you to vote yes. Several points in favor of the renewal need to be emphasized. First, without the renewal, the schools would lose 64 percent of their operating budget for the 1984-85 school year In the words of Superintendent Carl A. Schoessel, "We could still open our doors come September, but we wouldn’t last much beyond that." Failure topass the renewal would place Hastings schools in the position of the Alpena schools, two years ago, wnere the district was eventually forced to close its doors altogether until a millage was passed. Second, due to a legal technicality, the word "increase" will appear on the ballot. Without dwelling on the reasons that the word must appear there, we want to emphasize that the renewal is simply that, a renewal and not an increase over the basic millage package that has funded the school district for more than a decade. Third, the 18.51 mill rate was first apprc/ed in 1970 and has been used to cover the basic school operating costs since that time. Until last fall, when the voters did approve an additional 2.386 mills for more programs, the 18.51 mill rate and state aid covered nearly all of the district's budget. In 1970, the 18.51 mills generated $2,028,810 in tax dollars toward a school budget of $3,176,785 or 63.8 percent of the revenues. Because of rising property values, the same millage rate generates $4,149,942 today toward a budget of $8,121,815 or 51 percent of the revenues. But, at the same time, inflation has risen 167.5 percent from December 1969 to December 1983, which actually gives the school district less money to work with in real dollars. Thoughout the last 14 years, a declining student enrollment and careful cost cutting have enabled the schools to live within the constraints of the 18.51 mills. Fourth, the 2.386 mill increase approved in October was approved for four years and is not part of the renewal package. You are not again being asked to approve the millage for the programs added last fall. You are being asked to continue the basic operating millage. Fifth, the school board and administrators have kept their pledge made in the fall that the 2.386 mills approved in October to use the extra funds for specific programs. While they are not obligated under law to earmark money for certain programs, they said that they wou’d earmark the money in specific ways and they have lived up to that promise. As citizens of the school district, we should keep our commitment and provide the same basic operating millage so that the new programs can continue to be funded. And finally, the school board, administrators, teachers and staff have made a strong effort to provide more open communications with the citizens so that mistakes of the past will not be repeated. Superintendent Carl A. Schoessel has done an impressive job of putting the district back on its feet with good financial management good employee relations and good community relations. He deserves recognition from Uie voters for a job well done and he deserves a vote of confidence so that he can continue putting his programs and policies to work. Teachers, too, deserve to be recognized for the efforts that they have made towards better relations with the citizens of the district In view of this, it would be unfair for the voters to repudiate the work that has been done to correct problem areas in the schools. Once again, we urge you to go to the polls on Monday, March 12 and vote yes to renew the 18.51 operating mills. SOIL CONSERVATION We are the stewards of the land We hope that you look the opportunity to read through the annual report of the Barry Soil and Water Conservation District, published as an eight-page pullout section in this week’s Reminder. While many people might feel that the work of land conservation concerns only the landholders, we believe that all of us must take an active interest in preserving Counselors, unified curriculum head Delton's “needs list” More counselors are needed in the DeltonKellogg School District and a unified curriculum should be developed for K-12, according to a needs assessment recentlycompleted by a group of citizens who com­ prise the Superintendent's Forum. Those two items were at the top of 16suggestions the locum made to improve the school district. The needs assessment report was presented Monday to the board of education. The report divided the forum members' concerns into two separate categories, said Supt. Dr. John Sanders. There were suggestions made under the category of “needs" that would require additional financial support and proposals that need a commitment, rather than extra funding, to accomplish. Securing additional counselors for the school district with an emphasis on career guidance topped the list of items that would need additional financial support. The forum's report said other needs in that category are: —An expansion of computer education in K-12. —Expansion of the vocational program, possibly through a consortium with other schools, or the Calhoun or Kalamazoo in­ termediate school districts. —Reduction of class size. —A review of classroom textbooks for possible replacement every four to five years to keep them updated. —Development of alternative programs in K-12 which will provide different kinds of experiences for students and hopefully reduce the drop out rate. —Improvement of professional develop­ ment for the staff. —Insurance that teachers are working in thdr fields of expertise. —Improve the emphasis on music, drama and other fine arts. Heading the category of needs that would require a commitment or a defined process is a suggestion to develop a unified K-12 curriculum with grade level accountability and goals and objectives with for each course and grade. Work on a unified curriculum with in­ volvement of the professional staff is ten­ tatively slated to begin next month, Sanders said. "It’s an area that has not received a lot of attention over the years." Other needs listed under those requiring a commitment are to: —Continue good communication with parents’and others in the district. —Emphasize the three Rs. —Develop K-12 programs on the topics of family living, drugs, alcohol, and parenting. —Continue to improve the code of conduct and discipline in the schools. the land. As a publishing company, we include the report in The Reminder each year, not as a money making project, but as a public service to the community. As we continue to turn productive land to other uses, it is increasingly important T-K Adult Ed classes start in March that the remaining land continue to be productive. There are slightly more than a billion acres of farmland in the United States. That sounds like a lot, but when you divide it by the population, it comes out to an average of 4'4 acres per person. Only two of the 44 acres are suitable for the production of food and fiber. Your two acres is dwindling in size. Fifty years ago. you had about five acres for food and fiber. If most people attempted to grow their food and fiber needs on the remaining two acres, they'd likely starve to death and have no clothes. About 98 percent of us have a farmer to tend our two acres and it’s only through his efficiency in production and careful management of the land that we end up getting more food and fiber from our two acres than we can use. In addition to careful management and conservation of farmland, we must also be stewards of other land. As most long-time Barry County residents know, the Yankee Springs area, much of which is now part of the Barry State Game Area, was once a barren stretch of worthless farmland. Not much grows on sand. Careful reforestation of the land, with much of the work done through the CCC and other government work programs, has brought the land back to use for recreation. The land management has been so good, in fact, that the area is prized for its recreational value. You as a citizen of this area have a stake in the management of both the far­ mland and the non-farm land. The food you eat. the parks you visit, the trails you walk or ski, the woods that you hunt in and even the economy you depend on are all rooted in one way or another in how the land is preserved and conserved. If you haven't yet read the Soil and Water Conservation District's report, go back and look it over.

On March 25, Deming refused the woman's plea of no contest, explaining that court rules prevent the judge from questioning the defendant about the crime, as he did Feb. 25. Both the prosecution and Raynes’s defense attorney. William Mills of Grand Rapids, appealed Deming's decision to the Michigan Court of Appeals. That court denied both sides, and the case was sent to the supreme court.

However, action w-'l begin im­ mediately on developing a unified curriculum, he noted. (Other business at the Delton board's Monday meeting will appear in next week's Banner). A statement release by the Michigan Supreme Court concerning its denial read “The court is not persuaded that the questions presented should now be reviewed by the court." Raynes was arraigned Jan. 20, 1982, for child neglect and cruelty, after surrendering herself to police. Raynes took her eight-week-old daughter Tracey to a Grand Rapids hospital Oct. 31 with burns over her arms, legs and abdomen. Doctors were forced to amputate part of the infant's left hand, and right foot, and to remove pail of her abdomen, as a result of the burns. ** Stat police investigators said lhe burns were caused by being placed in a microwave oven. However, the formal charges said that Raynes "did willfully, unlawfully or neglectfully deprive said child of necessary food, clothing, shelter; to wit: protection from microwave radiation." Raynes told Deming that the child was never placed inside the microwave, main­ taining that she placed her child on an ironing board in front of the device before leaving the room to find a nipple for the baby’s bottle. She said she found the burns when she came back in the room. Rayne's plea, and her story, were rejected by Deming, because her story did not apply to lhe court rules governing the offense, said Deming. "Leaving and coming oack to find some blisters on the baby did nol constitute deprivation of necessary shelter." said the judge. Deming stated that Raynes would have to admit she deprived the infant of necessary shelter before he would accept the plea — “The problem is that this court had deter­ mined that having a microwave oven in your house is not failure to provide necessary shelter." KNOW YOUR SCHOOLS: A summary of information about the Hastings Area Schools System by Carl Schoessel, Hastings Superintendent A sage observer of human behavior once noted that a committee is a body that keeps minutes and wastes hours. Unfortunately, that probably is an accurate assessment of the way many committees function and is one reason why people are so reluctant to serve on them, no matter how important the committee's responsibility may be. Hastings man stands mute to sex charge David Philip Turnes, 33,558 Meadow Lane, stood mute in Barry County Circuit Court Friday to a charge of first degree criminal sexual conduct. Barry-Eaton Circuit Court Judge Hudson E. Deming entered a plea of not guilty for Turnes, and set a March 9 pre-trial date. According to court documents, Turnes is accused of engaging in "sexual penetration" with a 13-year-old girl, a crime punishable by up to life in prison. In other court proceedings: Billie Lee Chamberlain, 17, 1212 W. Slate St., was sentenced to 114 months in jail, with credit for 297 days, for probation violation. Chamberlain was granted release for schooling. A May 14 jury trial is set for James Robert Beary, 7600 Long Lake, Cloverdale, on a charge of carrying a pistol in a vehicle. The offense allegedly occurred on or about Oct 16, 1983, in Hope Township, when Beary was stopped by troopers from the Battle Creek state police post. Delano Robert Endsley, 1212 W. State Rd., received 10 months in the Barry County jail, with credit for 169 days, for probation violation. In addition to time in jail, Endsley's probation period is extended on one year. Ronald Pinks, 39, 11837 Lewis Rd., Plainwell, stood mute at his arraignment on a charge of breaking and entering of an occupied dwelling. A not guilty plea was entered by the court, and a pre-trial set for March 23 at 9 a.m. It is alleged that Pinks broke into a Lewis Rd. home in Orangeville Township with the intent to steal. The offense is punishable by 15 years in prisoh. The Hastings Area School System is typical of many school systems in that a number of committees have been formed to attend to a variety of tasks. One such committee was the K-12 School Study Committee that was formed last year to review the educational and operational programs of the school system, but for­ tunately was not typical of the description contained in the first paragraph. Approximately 150 citizens and staff volunteers served on the K-12 School Study Committee under the direction of chairpersons Ann and Joe Hubert. The citizens and staff members were organized into subcommittees that studied various segments of the total school program, such as the elementary and secondary curriculum, finances, building and grounds use. maintenance, and food and transportation services. Following many, many hours of meetings and discussions by the sub­ committees, a comprehensive summary of the K-12 School Study Committee's work was prepared and submitted to the board of education. That summary contained numerous recommendations for improvement of curricular offerings and increased efficiency and effectiveness in operations. Over the past several months. 29 of the specific recommendations contained in that summary have been implemented, and other committees have been formed and are being formed to expand on lhe original work and consider the implementation of the remaining recommendations. The task, undertaken by the 150 citizens and staff members, was an ambitious one that required much dedication and showed a great deal of concern for the proper education and care of young people on the part of the participants. So that committee members and the community car. know the results of the work done by the K-12 School Study Committee, the next several columns will report on the progress being made in the specific areas studied by the committee. In many situations, all the members of a committee get to do is talk... Hopefully, in this situation, committee members can see how their words have been turned into action! PUBLIC OPINION and Elaine Gilbert Should professionals be allowed In the Olympics? Medical Facility, Continued from page 1 Also built into that $1.4 million figure, in addition to actual construction costs and the payment, is a projected five percent annual inflation increase and an annual main­ tenance increase of 15 percent. Dean tok^commissioners that the Medical Facility would make the montly payments on the bonds through a recently established Depreciation Fund (meaning that a portion of the Facility's incoming revenues would be earmarked for this use). Payment money into that fund, he said, would begin this year, but the first payment on the bonds would not be made until 1986, allowing the fund to build UP. Monthly payments under the committee's preliminary plan would be about $14,745. "We feel comfortable that we can do this on our own (pay off the bonds),” Dean told the board. "We’re not here asking for money. However, the county does have «bligations (if the board approves the idea) that have to be met." Those obligations (if lhe county gives the go ahead and decides to follow the proposed payback plan) would necessitate that the board of commissioners appoint a building authority lo head the project, explained Jim White, a bonding attorney from Grand Rapids, who was also in attendance and talked with the commissioners on the sub­ ject. "The Authority would issue the bonds." he said. "The county would then enter into a lease agreement with Lhe Authority for the Facility and then sublease it back to the Dept, of Social Services (lhe current users). "The county would also agree to pledge its good faith financially when the bonds go up for sale,” While explained. "You would be putting your weight behind this and would be accepting responsibility for the bonds if lhe Medical Facility was unable to make the payments." Following the presentation, lhe com­ missioners decided to table any action until the next meeting. Commissioner Coleman made that motion, noting the some members of the board have not had a chance to study the proposal in any detail and in fairness should be given that opportunity Gary Rizor Claudia Frank • QUESTION • The International Olympic Committee is once again reviewing its eligibility qualifications for the games, end once again, some members are arguing that professicnal athletes should be allowed to compete. What do you think? Scott Beduhn. Hastings: "No, because it shows off talents of people, and brings out the best. Professionals shouldn't compete because to them it's a trade." Don't the Russians do well in some events because of professional training? "Yes, but we wax them loo." Carla Rizor Michelle Slocum Jeff Miller. Hastings: H seems as though the East Germans are all professionals, because they're trained to win medals. The only difference is the East Germans aren't paid outright, but they're still supported for their athletic prowess." Gary Rizor, Hastings: "Yes, they should be able to. There’s no reason why they shouldn't participate because they are still Americans despite the money they make (as professionals)." Claudia Frank. Hastings: "Sure, why not? If they are that good Ho be professionals! they should be able to show the world how good they are." Jay Herrington, Hastings: "No. 1 don't. They're already well trained now. I don't care for the Olympics much, and I don't care for the Soviets." Says he likes track events lhe best Carla Riror. Hastings: "Yes. we’re always trying to find the best athletes and they (professionals) have more experience" to possibly win more Gold Medals for the U.S. Al Jarvis. Hastings: "1 think that everyone should be allowed to participate in the Olympics, no matter what they're profession is. I would think that you would want the best to represent each country." Michelle Slocum. Hastings: “No .it’s,a terrible idea. The professionals have already established a predominant reputation in the field of sporfe and theamatuers need more of a chance or opportunity i in the Olympics' to make names for themselves." �The Hastings Banner— Thursday, March 1. 1984, Page 3 School carnival on tab at Hastings Jr. High Saturday Valuable cassette tape recorders and a five-inch portable TV will be given away as door prizes this Saturday, as kids of all ages gather for the “Up, Up and Away in '84" all­ school carnival, in the Jr High west gym from 3-8 p.m. Carnival organizers say plans call for a high school rock band to be added to a line up of entertainment which includes a wasntub band, a guitarist-folksinger, a barbershop quartet, an aerobics demonstration, an accordionist and a magician.

Main topics of discussion will be "the benefits tourism brings to the business community and to the county as a whole” and "the need for business support in promotional efforts”. Four hundred letters have been sent out to area establishments, as well as to county, township, city and village officials, urging them to attend this session. Tourism Council officials noted, however, that "not" all businesses or inteiisted parties may have received the letter and invited them to attend as well. Paul Kiel, Chairman of the County Board of Commissioners and a member of the To«irism Council, is heading the gathering. Explaining that he has set tourism as a priority for Barry County during his term as commission chairman, Kiel noted in his letter that "tourism already is a multi­ million dollar industry in our county” but could become a larger one. "Statewide it generates revenue in excess of $11 billion and Barry County is not getting its fair share of these dollars," Kiel said. “Yet we have one of the most beautiful countys in the state and an abundance of tourist-related areas. "These," he pointed out, "range from picturesque small towns to antique stores to excellent hunting and some of the best fishing in the state.” Kiel, who lives in the Gun Lake area, noted that the area already brings in an estimated 750,000 tourists, primarily out of the Chicago area. "But how much more should and can we do?" he asked. Pointine out that “numerous other counties with much less to offer are doing a better job at attracting tourists and tourist dollars”. Kiel said he was inviting interested parties, through the auspices of the Tourism Council, to meet with himself arid other key people in that organization to discuss par­ ticipation ina countywide tourism promotion program and the benefits that this campaign could bring to the area. "I encourage you as a business-minded citizen,” Kiel concluded, "to join us in an effort to investigate economic develop­ ment.” Kiel, speaking at a meeting of the Tourism Council held Tuesday noon at Charlton Park, described the upcoming meeting as a "test". "It more or less is going to be a test of whether tourism is going to go or not," he said. “And I do want it to go," he added. “It's not just of benefit fur businesses. It benefits the entire county by bringing in more money." Kiel added that a good turnout by the business community would make it easier for the Tourism Council to get some financial help from the board of commissio’ners. “It ** would show them (the commissioners) that there’s a base of support for this project,” he explained. music and choir rooms in the west wing.

Pierson said the system is currently solvent, but that it will run out of money to make its bond payments in 1993. He said rate increase are needed now to avoid "horrendous" rate increases in 1993. At the Feb. 22 meeting, Pierson accounted for the $1,853 million shortfall in connection fee funds. The figures are: — $580,000, the original projected shortfall projected into the system's budget. That figure was to have been covered by a $2.75 per month debt retirement fee built into the $12 monthly service charge. However, that $2.75, said Pierson, was used for the operation and maintenance of the treatment plant during the first three years of the system's operation. — $500,000, lost due to an adjustment in connection fees. Originally, all customers were to pay $2,700 per equivalent. Residences were counted as one equivalent, while businesses and factories went by a formula. However, in 1980, businesses had their connection fees reduced to $1,120, phis $1580 per equivalent. — $210,000, due to changes in equivalency tables. By Pierson’s estimate, over 160 equivalencies were lost. — $280,000, due to loss of customers. Pierson said some structures were torn down by owners who didn't want to pay the con­ nection fee. Other blocks were deleted due to changes in sewer contracts, or health department rulings saying that septic tanks were adequate. — $120,000 spent on equipment purchases for plant over the last four years. Pierson said many of these purchases were made when the State of Michigan raised the treatment plant from class C in class B, necessitating extra equipment and per­ sonnel. $100,000, operations and maintenance budget overruns, for the years 1980 to 1982. — $63,000, customers not yet connected, or connected without payments. Pierson vowed to track down those homeowner, whose number he estimated at between 20 and 24. "There are only two sources of income," said Pierson, "Connection fee revenues and user fees, and the connection fee revenues are not large enough to cover the cost of the bonds." Pierson said the user fee would cover the cost of plant operations and maintenance, minus the $3 increase which will go to debt retirement. "I’m trying to keep the rates from going to $30 or $40 a month in 1993," said Pierson. He said GLASA is currently looking at expanding into four areas, but added "Seventeen homes doesn’t buy a mile of sewer line...Even a 100 unit condo project would only bring in $150,000 or so. We’re still way off. "We are happy that we got a rate increase. We’ll have to look at the figures again next year before we can make another recom­ mendation,” said Pierson.

Barbara Furrow Volunteering time for many worthwhile projects is the way Barbara Furrow of Hastings spends the majority of her time. She’s interested in everything from history and library science to solid waste planning and accounting. She currently might be found microfilming old cemetery records as a community service or studying accounting at Kellogg Community College. Barbara already has two degrees, but enrolling in the accounting class is just another way she keeps expanding her horizons. Learning to microfilm is a skill she recently acquired to assist the Barry County Historical Society in a new project to help preserve old cemetery records. One microfilm copy of the cemetery records will be given to the Hastings Public Library and another to the archives at Western Michigan University to aid persons who are doing research. Barbara is serving a second year as president of the historical society and has b:en active in many other projects of the organization. She has also been the group's vice president. At the Episcopal Parish in Hastings, Barbara holds the title of senior warden which means she is the chief executive of­ ficer of the vestry. She is the first woman to hold that position in the local church. She previously was the first woman to serve as junior warden there. Politics have been a keen interest of Barbara's. A former member of the Barry County Democratic Party, she served as the organization's secretary for eight years and helped with many campaigns and elections. She describes herself as an in­ dependent now, especially at the grass roots level of politics. "On the national level, when it gets right down to philosophy, I’m a liberal Democrat," she said. "I've become more of an independent on the local level after watching people (local office holders) in action...Electing people who are ^mpetent is more important than electing them according to party lines." Election times are busy for Barbara in another capacity because she is serving a third term on the board of canvassers. Barbara said she has learned a lot about county government since she has been at­ tending meetings of the county board of commissioners on a regular basis. Since 1981, she has served as an official "ob­ server" of those board meetings for the Hastings chapter of the American Association of University Women (AAUW). She and another woman were instrumental in organizing the Hastings AAUW and Barbara served as its charter president a decade ago. She is currently the group’s legislative chairperson. A recent project was helping to write a 20year plan for the management of solid waste in the county. Barbara was the only woman to serve on the Solid Waste Management Planning committee. When the county health department celebrated is 50th anniversary, she served on the steering committee to plan the occasion. She also is interested in the local AFS student exchange program and attends meetings of that group. One day a week, Barbara volunteers her Barbara Furrow of Hastings soys one of her favorite recipes is a hot chicken salad. Here, she crumbles potato chips over the top of the dish before sprinkling it with grated cheddar. talents in the library at Central Elementary School in Hastings. She is right at home in a library. Barbara earned a master's degree in library science at the University of Michigan. Her first job in that field was in Lake Forest, III. where she worked as a children's librarian for a year. The following year she worked as a cataloger in the library at Lake Forest College When she lived in Holt, she spent two years com­ muting to work at Michigan State’s library where she was a cataloger and in charge of a section of the library. In 1975, Barbara started working part time at the Hastings Public Library. But after six years, her position was eliminated due to budget cuts. Since then she has increased her volunteer work with various organizations. Hastings has been an important town in Barbara’s life even though she spent her childhood elsewhere. She was bom in Wyandotte but said she grew up in Trenton where she spent the first 17-years of her life. As Barbara was entering her senior year in high school, her family moved from the eastern part of the state to Hastings where her mother had grown up. Barbara said she had no difficulty in making the transition from one high school to another. She immediately became involved in activities here and served as editor of the high school paper. After graduating from Hastings High School, Barbara earned a bachelor's degree in English at Kalamazoo College. She tad an opportunity to study and travel in France for part of a summer when she was a college student. Barbara and her husband, Mickey, wound ' up in Hastings again when he was hired for a social science teaching job. He grew up in the Freeport area and had been a former Hastings resident. The Furrows have 14-year old twin sons, Scott and Andy (Roland III). When she’s not busy as a volunteer, Barbara enjoys reading, attending ar. adult education class at her church, and going to an aerobics class three times a week. "We like to travel too,” she says. The New England area is a favorite place and they’ve vis ted Maine four times. In Maine. Barbara lookings forward to having lobster, but at home she says a recipe for hot chicken salad is a favorite. She said her mother. Charlotte Bacon, created the recipe by combining several recipes together. t "It's crisp and has a different texture with the water chestnuts, walnuts and celery in it.’ she says. "Because you don't have to cook it long, it stays crisp." Barbara’s Hot Chicken Salad Ingredients: 2-cups chicken (cooked, dic' *d >,2-cupscelery 'chopped), 1-can water chestnuts (sliced). 1-cup nuts 'Barbara uses slivered almonds). 1-can cream of chicken souo 'not diluted). 1-cup mayonnaise, 2Tatlespoons lemon juice, 3-Tablespoons onion (chopped). salt and pepper to taste). 1fou: ounce hag cheddar cheese (shredded), ano potato chips (crushed). C imbine chicken soup, mayonnaise, lemon juice and chopped onion to make a sauce. Adc to other ingredients and put into large casserole dish. Crumble potato chips over top. then sprinkle with grated cheese. Bake at 375-degrees for 25 minutes. You may add green pepper and pimento if desired. Even though alcoholic beverage is not this writer's "cup of tea” (or "can of beer" as it were). probably no hobby in history has had as explosive a growth as beer-can collecting. Since the early 1970s, thousands of people have bought, traded or found millions of cans throughout the world. Breweries were quick to observe this; in America alone in 1977 they made over 110 label changes and more in 1978, mostly with collectors in mind. Colors, lettering, and parts of design were changed intermittently to allow collectors more varied findings in this field. Latrobe Brewing Co. of Penn­ sylvania, one of Lhe smallest breweries, altered its green and white can of "Rolling Rock Premium" many times as they and other small companies were hard-pressed by giant conglomerates. They catered to collectors m particular to keep their sales strong. Scarcity, of course, primarily dic­ tates beer-can prices. Handsome designs and special circumstances affect value as well. Thus in the mid1960s when Playmate Malt Liquor and Playmate Premium beer were marketed. Playboy Enterprises sued, claiming exclusive rights to the name, and production was halted. Today these brands are the most sought after, following "James Bond's W7” and "Soul". However, the Astro Malt Liquor and Stout Malt Value lines, both more rare than Soul, are not nearly as valuable. Another rare type can is Du Bois Budweiser. It was sold for some years until Anheuser-Busch finally objected and Du Bois was forcea to change names. This was perhaps only proper, but it is amusing to note "Budweiser" can be considered a generic name for beer brewed in the city of Budweis in Czechoslovakia. Cans with paper labels are also very scarce and collectible, as are "camouflage” cans — those made in wartime U.S. after May 1, 1942 with their dark olive green colors. England, incidentally, made no such changes then and continued its regular packaging With a great variety of designs available, it is natural that many collectors specialize. Some concentrate on cans whose labels can be clearly distinguished from others at a distance; some on United States East Coast brands and others on foreign types; some collect only 12 ounce cans either empty or full; some collect sets; and some only collect commemoratives or those with special scenes. The beer can collector's best friend is a person who travels a lot in different states or foreign countries. It is octen easy to buy brands sold only locally in a distant place and bring them back home where they can be kept or traded. WOl/i/j ’^astSigs The most important rule to remember if you are bringing cans to a collector is "do not open the can from the top in the regular way." This lessens or often destroys their value as collectibles. The rip-tab, or whatever is used, should be in place. Instead, if you wish to empty them, use a puncture type opener on the bottom of the can, making two holes where they won't show when the can is in an upright sitting position. Then rinse and drain. Holes so made can also be used to insert anything that will "pop" out any dents or otherwise restore original condition. Another way to do this is to freeze water inside, thus forcing dents out when the metal expands. Discarded cans very often have some rust. Emery paper or very fine steel wool can be used to alleviate this problem. If cans are very rusted, they are probably without value. Cans found in dumps are often useless as they are bashed, rusted ur wrongly opened. Bottle collectors usually do better in old dump-sites. Some collectors spray their cans with wax to preserve them, but most just dust them and try to keep them in as moisture free an environment as possible. As in all collecting fields, condition is a paramount ingredient of value. For the uninitiated, cans marked "Internal Revenue Tax Paid" are pre­ March 1, 1950, when a July 1935 law requiring those words or. cans was repealed. In the late 1970s, when Billy Carter (President Carter's beer drinking brother) made international headlines with his many unorthodox antics, "Billy Beer” was so named in his honor. These cans are especially collectible. These were of limited manufacture and even an empty “Billy" can is a prized addition to a beer-can collector's heart. A full, unopened one sold for $300 and up, as recently as 1981. Beer in cans is a relatively new phenomenon. Before prohibition, beer was stored and shipped in kegs and dispensed in returnable bottles. When the Prohibition Act was repealed in 1933, only 700 of 1.700 breweries resumed operation Expanding distribution created the need for an inexpensive container that would permit beer to be stored longer and shipped safely. Cans were the answer. The first patent for a lined can was issued to the American Can Company on September 25, 1934, for their "Keglined" process. Gottried Kruger Brewing Co. of New Jersey was the first to use the can. Pabst was the first major company to join the canned beer movement. The next major change in beer can design was the aluminum pop-top in 1962. POPE Z'TWRSHER Battle Creek for over 50 years! 505 W. Apple St., Hastings 1 Block North of PIZZA HUT ttMutdt...

My wife and I both work, and our income tor 19X3 is $33,000. Last summer we were on vacation, and our car caught on fire, and burned completely up. The car was worth about S3.500. Since il was completely paid for. we didn't carry any comprehensive car In­ surance. In addition to the above, it cost us $750 in plane tare to fly back home. How much of a casualty loss deduction can we claim? A. We hale to say this, but your deduction will be very limited. The $750 that was paid for plane fare is con­ sidered a personal expense, and will not enter into the compulation of the casually loss. The rationale here is that if you had gone on vacation by plane, flying to and from, the plane fare would not be deductible. For 1983. Congress im­ posed a 10 percent of Ad­ justed Gross Income deductible on Casually Losses, in addition to the $100 floor Therefore, in your case, your loss would be computed as follows: car's value. $3,500; less 10 percent AGl $33,000 x 10 percent), equals $3,300; balance. $200; less floor amount ($100); itemized deduction (Casualty Loss). $100. (). I understand that Congress passed a law this year that will make me pay income lax on my social security . I can't believe they would do this. Is it true? A. Yes. social security income will be taxed in some cases in 1983. but il will be taxed only in cases of tax­ payers whose adjusted gross income added to 50 percent of their social security in­ come exceeds $25.(XK) for a single person and $32,000 for a married couple filing a joint return So. most social security recipients will not be taxed on their social security income Only those people in higher tax brackets will feel the impact of this law The six United Brethren churches in the area held Round-Robin Missions this week.

Chairman 3-1 More Legal Notices On Page 11 �The Hastings Banner— Thursday. March 1, 1984, Page 9 Delton tops Hastings, 79-62 bj Steve Vedder Paul Blacken admits the next time the teams meet — if indeed there is a next time — he’ll be one very wary individual. The (irst-year Delton basketball coach knows it isn't often a basketball team can snuff out an opponent three times in one season. For the second time this season Blacken's Panther outfit bumped off Hastings 79-62 on Tuesday night. And if all goes according to plan, the teams could matchup a third time in the finals of next week's districts. For that to happen Delton would first have to slip past Comstock while Hastings would have to notch wins over Gull Lake and Wayland. While Blacken and Hastings coach Denny O’Mara tried to put Tuesday’s game in perspective, it was hard not to look ahead to next week. In fact, Blacken told his team after the 17-point win over Hastings that the final chapter might not be written yet. •‘It's tough to beat a team three times in one year, especially when the teams are so equal," said Blacken. “What a game like this does is give our kids confidence." O’Mara was blunt in assessing the up­ coming district possibilities. "We have to be concerned with Gull Lake, not Delton," he said. As far as Tuesday's game, it was simply a case of Hastings falling too far behind and not being able to catch up. Delton, hitting about 70 per cent from the field in the opening eight minutes, led 22-6 at the end of one quarter and 40-23 at the half. A17-10 Saxon spurt late in the third period closed the gap to 5040 with 1:38 left. But the Panthers scored six of the last eight points in the quarter to lead 56-42. The closest Hastings could come in the final eight minutes was 12 points, 56-44, in the first minute of the period. The Panthers lead reached a high of IB points at the midway point. O'Mara cited the 36-21 rebounding disparity, including a 31-9 margin by the inside people, as the key to the loss. "We came out and played two good quarters, but to make up a difference like that you have to have the rebounding," he said. "You have to get the key rebounds and we haven’t .ound anybody to do that That’s why we sputter at times." Delton’s red hot outside shooting cooled down somewhat after the first period. Thev still managed to hit 55 per cent (31 of 55) for the game as compared to 50 per cent <26 of 52) for the Saxons. Blacken thought his team's defense — particularly the job done by Wayne Bourdo and Eric Pessell on Mark Brown — was outstanding. Brown was held to 29 points on 12 of only 23 shots. "That was a key." said Blacken. "If he gets off 30 shots a game he'll make 15. He didn’t get as many shots in this game." Steve Maurer added 11 points for Hastings. Delton was led by Brett McBeth's 20 points. Steve Tuin, averaging 20 points per game over the last three, added 18 markers and grabbed 14 rebounds. Jay Henry notched 18 points and 11 rebounds and Rick Hur­ dlebrink scored 12 points. Hastings, now 13-6 overall, closes out its regular season on Friday at Coldwater. Delton, now 14-5, closes out at Paw Paw on Friday. SPORTS iSltS" T°V j“,ry^t,,Ond Sl’'’e Tuin (50> bo,hor Todd whuZnll. ■ Too’doy. 79-62 win by (he Ponfher..

Kensington to wrestle at state Hastings' Dave Kensington will be wrestling in this weekend’s state Class B finals at Ferris State College. Kensington, a junior and one of the Saxon co-captains, will be wrestling in the 185pound class. He has compiled a 31-11 record this winter. To qualify for the state meet, Kensington finished fourth in both the district and regional wrestling tournaments the last two weekends. Kensington won one of three matches in the districts and then split four matches in the regional. In the regional, both wins were over wrestlers which had beaten him earlier this season including one in the conference finals two weeks ago. SPORTS ...ata glance by Steve Vedder Middleville — The Year After Anyone who made the trip to Crisler Arena that memorable Friday night in March will never forget it. No way does it seem possible an entire year has elapsed since Mid­ dleville’s bid for a basketball state championship disaneared into the warm spring night. The 1,506 or so faithful Thornapple Kellogg fans who made the 130-mile trek to Ann Arbor saw a Trojan team that many believed to be the finest ever. Only once in the school’s history (1966) had a Trojan team ever reached the semi-finals of the state tournament. This particular 1982-83 team, blessed with just the right combinations of speed, height, scoring and defensive abilities, had set a school record for wins (23) and had fought its way to an O-K Blue co-championship only three * weeks earlier. But the task in front of the team this particular weekend was in­ surmountable. The Trojans first had to upset tour­ nament favorite Kalamazoo Christian in Friday’s semi-finals to even have a chance at the Flint HamadySteohenson winner in the finals on Saturday night. It wasn't to be. In the most thrilling game that one amazed Hastings sportswriter witnessed the entire season, Kalamazoo Christian cruelly dashed the Middleville hopes in a double overtime thriller, 74-64. Less than 24 hours later the Hornets crushed Flint-Hamady 81-60 for the Class C state title. Middleville's brief ’day in the sun' was over... perhaps forever. It’s a year later now and five seniors and six of the team's top nine players have departed. Left is a group of game, but inexperienced Trojan ballplayers who have sputtered and coughed their way to 9-8 overall and 5-7 league marks. To be painfully honest it has been a disapointing year, admits Trojan coach Skip Pranger Five of those losses (including embarrassing losses to lowly Lee and Kelloggsville) have been less than four points and could have easily swung either way. They didn't, however, tilt the way of the Trojans, whose up and down antics resemble moves direct from a Jane Fonda exercise manuel. "I honestly felt if we played up to our potential we could play with Hamilton," offers Pranger. leaning back in a chair in his office. "We’re 9-8 and we could be 12-4 or 13-3." Pranger is asked if he wishes for the return of those enchanting nights of a year ago when me veteran nr<— |it<- Trojans would steam run toes. “I think you do that every year when you've had certain kids for two or three years,” admits Pranger. "Suddenly you look up and they’re gone." Pranger says he honestly doesn’t dwell on last year’s team and its out­ standing records. This winter is a brand spanking new season and with it brings an entirely different team with new kinks to work out. Instead of the past, Pranger prefers to talk about the Middleville program as a whole and not the unforgettable events of a year ago in the 'barn * at Jenison Fieldhouse or the darkness of Crisler Arena. “I don't think about it a lol — maybe that sounds odd,” smiles Pranger. “I don't dwell on it. It already happened and we're not gonna do anything to change it. "I haven't got through the tapes of the (Kalamazoo Christian) game yet," he adds. "You know, you talk about games being lost in the second half but we made so many mistakes in the first half of that game. "I’ll get through it some day. It’s just tough to be that close." He does admit to one significant, personal difference in coaching this season. “There was more pressure last year,” he says. "You knew what you were capable of. This year you know people aren't expecting as much. "But from within you still want to succeed. You know from now on you can compete." Pranger says he had hoped the state championship near-miss would have acted as a springboard for the Mid­ dlerille basketball program as a whole. But when only nine players showed up for the first summer practice three months later. Pranger was disapointed Smaller schools such as Middleville have to develop a basketball program as early as the fourth grade, says Pranger. That route is the only way to compete against such schools as Kalamazoo Christian, whose boun­ daries are more, shall we say. “liberal" than Middleville. Franger thinks the program one day will be strong enough to make another run for a state title. "I’d like to think we would go again some day," he nods. But for now Pranger is content to let the past remain buried and concentrate on this year's team as well as the entire program. "They're good kids, sincere," says Pranger of this year’s Trojan squad. “They give you all they’ve got. What more can you ask?” Absolutely nothing. Hastings’ Mike Matthews (with ball) looks for an open man as he’s covered by Brett McBeth of Delton. The Panthers won Tuesday's contest 79-62.

Phone 945-3437 �The Hastings Banner— Thursday, March 1. 1984, Page 10 March Madness begins March 5 by Steve Vedder The symptoms, which at the end usually include screaming and a waterfall of tears, are easily distinguishable, but a cure is rare. Of the 700-plus patients who are smitten with the disease each year about this time, only four will survive. The rest of the unfortunates will go quickly — their fates often determined by a single bounce of a Wilson 1200. Some of the in­ dividuals will pass away early in the dingy gyms of an Eau Claire, Watervliet or Cedarville-Les Cheneaux High School. Others will manage to make it all the way to the rafters of Jenison Fieldhouse or the darkness of Crisler Arena before suc­ cumbing. You see, the only known cure for this disease — more commonly known as March Madness — is a four-foot chunk of metal known as a MHSAA state championship trophy. Only four such valuable pieces of metal are awarded each March. And the quest for those trophies begins next Monday. The odds that any team from Barry County will bring home one of these trophies is...well, nill. The guess here is that only two of the five teams have legitimate chances of getting out of their districts. And those teams are doing battle in the same tournament so only one will move on to the regionals. If all goes according to Hoyle, Hastings and Delton, both 13-5 going into Tuesday’s game, should play for the district title on Friday, March 9. It would be the third meeting of the year between those teams. Hastings has won two consecutive districts. A third, however, isn’t out of reach. The other teams in the district. Comstock and Wayland (both at 12-7> and Gull Lake <613), don’t have the horses to win. The host Saxons kick off the tournament March 5 at 7:30 against the Blue Devils. Delton plays Comstock on March 6 at 7:30. In Bellevue, Maple Valley (11-7) finds itself in over it’s head playing against the likes of Kalamazoo Christian (19-0). Look for the Lions, who play for the SMAA title on Friday, to make a second round exit after beatingOlivet (10-8) in round one on March 6 at 7:30. Analysis Five of the seven teams in the Bellevue district have records over .500 making it the most competitive of area tournaments. The Lowell district includes a pair of powerhouses in favorite Greenville (18-2) and Portand (17-2). That puts Lakewood, winners of only six games, in deep trouble. The Vikings open district play March 7 against the Red Raiders at 7:30. The final Barry County team, Middleville (1O-9), will not be making any long bus rides to Jenison Fielhouse or Crisler Arena this spring. It has been a disapointing year for the Trojans with five of the team's losses being less than four points. The Trojans may beat Hopkins (11-7) on March 5 at 7:30 at Byron Center, but that’s as far as the team will be going. Hamilton Cl 81), who has crushed the Trojans twice by 42 and 19 points, plays the winner on March 7.

General Outdoor Conditions - Warm weather and rain has caused spring like conditions along with treacherous ice con­ ditions. Throughout the district ice is very bad and fishermen should stay off. Fishing: Another word of caution about the ice. There have been numerous reports of people falling through — it’rjust not worth it fora few fish. As weather conditions cool off again, the ice will firm up a bit but caution should still be used as it will never be as good as before the thaw. Know the lake before you try it or find someone who does. Steelhead! They are in the rivers and many in number! Fishermen are having good success at Berrien Springs. Bangor and Allegan dams. This time of year the main bait used is spawn. Season Endings - Walleye, pike and musky fishing ends February 29. Wildlife: Spring is here and may be a bit too early for wildlife. When cold weather returns (as it inevitably will) many of these critters will suffer. Many birds from the south are showing up — bluebirds, red wing blackbirds and robins to name a few. Your handouts at the feeders may come in very handy when weather gets cold as food will become scarce and birds will need more energy to stay warm.

Specifically, the Medical Facility is planning a Craft Sale on Friday, March 9, at the Hastings City Bank to raise money for the Hastings elementary school computer program. Funds will go toward the purchase of software equipment. "We thought this was something our people could do." explained Doris Tinkler, activities director at the facility "They like to help as well as be helped." The crafts, Mrs. Tinkler said, are ones made by residents. Ed Moghtader, administrator at Barry Medical, noted that the men and women there are interested in doing something for the youngsters. "They have their own grandchildren so they’re interested in what the students are doing in computers,” he said. "It's another open door for the resident to look at the outside world." Tinkler said. "They love little children so we thought this was a way for them to help. "The older folks are trying to understand this new way of life (computers)." she ad­ ded. "This helps close that gap.” Hastings student honored at recent banquet at Michigan State University An.)

Charlie Murphy, board chairman, said Gove's bid of $61,000 form a "preliminary engineering phase" must be approved by the state, and the Federal Aviation Administration, before the state lets bids for a con­ tractor. Murphy speculated that it could take three more months before a contractor is selected. Expansion plans call for a 900-foot runway extension, added taxiways, and space for hangars. The project's total cost could reach $440,000, and will be funded largely by federal dollars accumulated from a 20 cents per gallon aviation fuel tax. The airport board next meets April 11.

Exemption from lobby law sought by Steve Horton Barry County's Board of Commissioners last week passed a resolution supporting proposed state legislation that would exempt local governments from the Michigan Lobbying Act. Introduced by Commissioner Rae Hoare, the resolution states that compliance with provisions of the Act would "result in costly inefficiencies and undue interference with the conduct of local government". Hoare noted that the Act was passed in 1978 as a "way to keep track of the money being spent by the big lobbyists" in their business dealings with public officials. Implementation of the law by the Secretary of State's office, however, has only recently “begun in earnesfand is including local government under its "lobbyist" definition. The way the Act’s provisions are being interpreted, Hoare said, local governments or government officials (in most cases) would be considered a lobbyist when doing business with a state lawmaker or depart­ ment official. Giving an example of the Act’s effects, Hoare said that the commissioners could pass this resolution, have the county clerk type it up, send it to their legislator, and "not” be fall under the Lobbing Act. "However," she said, “if the deputy clerk or one of the secretaries type it up, then we have to keep track of the time and money spent and then register with the Secretary of State's office as a lobbyist." Giving another for instance, she said that if the Drain Commissioner wanted to meet with a state official on some matter and needed research done, using a secretary for that purpose would fall under the Lobbying Act. “Elected officials don't fall under this definition, but any appointed official or hired employee does," Hoare noted. Where elected officials would be affected, she said, aresuch "definitions of lobbyist" as the one that requires registration "if ex­ penditures for food and beverage provided to a public official exceed $25 in any month whether lobbying occurs of not. "The Act affects everyone and anything," Hoare elaborated. "Our hands would be lied on almost anything we might want to bring before our legislator. A lot of the business we do on the county level involves contacting and discussing impending legislation with state officials. "Keeping track of the bookkeeping for the county would be complicated and ex­ pensive," she aaded. Asked ’why' enforcement of the Act’s provisions covering local governments was coming about now. six years after passage. Hoare replied: "Recalls and some of the other stuff going on." The county's resolution is in response to a call by the Board of Directors of the Michigan Association of Counties for the legislature "to institute immediate action looking to the amendment of the Michigan Lobbying Law by eliminating those provisions which are in any way related to the total conduct of local government or which would in any way interfere with the orderly operation of local government’. In other business, the board of com­ missioners expressed concern with a proposal by the Reagan Administration to reduce medicaid funding to state and local governments by $1 billion in fiscal year 1985 and over $5 billion by 1989. Most counties, it was noted by the National Association of Counties, will tie directly Continued on page 3 Hastings area voters will be asked to decide the fate of 18.51 voted mills for the operation of the school system, when they go to the polls Monday for what school officials call a millage renewal vote. At stake is 64 percent of the school system's total operating millage for one year, orabout$4,146,240. The 18.51 figure has been in effect since 1970, and ran out with the Dec. 1983 tax collection. Polls are open from 7 a.m. to 8 o.m. Voting will be held in the junior high gymnasium, and Pleasantview Elementary. Hastings currently levies a total 28.896 mills for the operation of its schools. Of that figure. 8 mills <.re allocated by Barry County each year without a vole. Another 2.386 were voted in as an increase last October by voters — that figire will be up for renewal in 1987. The remaining 1851 mills have come up for renewal periodically since 1970 — the last year for a millage increase up to last Oc­ tober. The 18.51 mills renewal will be for a three year period. Hastings State law mandates that the term •in­ crease" be used on the ballot Monday. Superintendent of Schools Carl Schoessel said that is because anything "above and beyond the eight mills allocated by the county is considered an increase...If we were only asking to renew a half mill, it would still be called an increase." Schoessel said it would be made clear on the ballot that this is a millage renewal. In their talks about the millage renewal, school officials have been adamant on the following points: — Passing the renewal will not increase the tax liability for any citizen. — The March 12 date was chosen for the election, rather than the June 11 school board election, to give city and county tax officials lime to gather summer tax information. If schools are unable to rely on summer tax collection, it would cost the district about 532,900 to borrow the necessary funds to operate the schools this fall. "We felt it was a responsible decision to hold the election early,” said Schoessel. Schoessel said that if the renewal does not pass, the district will have no choice but to Banner Devoted to the Interests of Barry County Since 1856 Volume 129. No. 10 keep coming back to voters until a request is passed "We could still open our deal's in September, but we wouldn't test much beyond that," he said. Hastings school officials have been low keyed in their push to have the millage renewed, favoring an individual approach to gathering support rather than an all-out media blitz, as used in the past three millage campaigns. Schoessel told the Hastings Board of Education at it's January 16 meeting that members of the steering committee which was active on last fall's millage campaign, will be involved. He also said that even though this is a renewal, he expects that there will be an active campaign. Frederic Jacobs, chairman of the steering committee, said his group does not have enough money this time around for a media blitz. "The renewal is generally not as con­ troversial as a real millage increase," said Jacobs, "There is a much more positive attitude in the community now than there has been in the recent past. I don't look for it to be a tough one to pass. People understand renewals?' Hostings. Michigan Price 20c Thursday, March 8, 1984 T-K school board ratifies contract with teachers, support staff Monday By Elaine Gilbert After lengthy negotiations that included recommendations from a state-appointed fact-finder, the Thornapple Kellogg Board of Education Monday ratified contracts with its teachers and non-instructional staff. Teachers and the support staff had been working without a new contract since school began in the fall. In the new three-year agreement with the district's teachers, salary increases of three percent were granted for this school year, said Supt. Gerald Page. The increase is retroactive to the beginning of the school year and is based on the fact-finder's recommendation. The contract provides for an increase in pay capped between four and eight percent for teachers in the 1984-85 school year and again in the 1985-86 school year. The provision guarantees a minimum of fourpercent with the possibility of a larger in­ crease according to a formula based on any potential increase in the cost of living. For each 1-percent increase in the cost of living, teachers would receive a ^-percent increase up to a maximum contract total of eight percent. Based on the new pay scale, a teacher with a bachelor of arts degree would start at a salary of $15,726 this year. There are 11-steps in this category wiih the top step being $24,315 plus two longevity steps offering $750 more for a top yearly total of $25,065. The beginning salary for a teacher with a masters degree is $16,936 under the agreement with the top step at $26,977 plus two longevity steps providing for an increase of $500 after 15-years and $250 after 20-years. With a "master's plus 30." salary ranges from $17,904 for beginning wages to $27,944 plus two longevity steps which would provide for $29,294, the top salary in the system. Regarding health insurance, Page said the new contract basically involves changes in the language and not much change in the coverage. Teachers have the option of selecting between MESSA Super Med I or School Employees Trust <SETi 500 Ultra Med C and the board will pay 100-percent of the lowest premium of the two. A teacher selecting the higher premium would be required to pay the difference between the two. Previously the board had paid 98percent of the MESA insurance. For the first time, the teachers' contract contains an early retirement clause which offers a cash incentive to teachers who retire early as long as they meet certain conditions and are eligible under the requirements of the Michigan Public Schools Employees Retirement System. The early retirement stipends provide for $1,250 after 10-years of service; $1,750Tor 15years; $2,500 for 20-years; $3,500 for 25years; and $5,000 for 30-years. The fact-finder. David T. Borland, has said that an early retirement program would save the district money in the long run because it might provide incentive for long­ time teachers to retire and the district could replace them with a younger and cheaper labor force. In the board’s new three-year contract with the 51 members of the Thomapple Kellogg Non-instructional Association, workers will get a hourly raise of 25-cents for this school year, retroactive to July 1, 1983. The agreement with the non-instructional employees calls for a 30-cent per hour in­ crease in the 1984-85 school year and a 40cent hourly hike in the 1985-86 school year. Support staff employees also received an increase in the number of sick days they can accumulate. Page said they will still get the same yearly sick leave, but if they do not use all the allotted days, they can accumulate up to 13 more sick days in each of the three years in the contract: 138-days in the 1983-84 school year; 151-days in the 1984-85 school year; and 164-days in the 1985-86 school year. One significant change in the contract changes the category of a group of em­ ployees. Noon aides and teachers aides will now be officially titled as paraprofessionals and their position mi the salary scale will be the same as library assistants. In other business at Monday’s meeting, the board approved several changes in the curriculum. The changes had been recom­ mended by the district’s curriculum council. In the industrial arts curriculum, the board approved eliminating a requirement that high school students had to take a basic course (survey class) that included wood shop, metal shop, power mechanics and drafting before they could enroll in advanced shop classes. Now the survey class will be Tournament time Hastings High School is the site of a Class B district basketball tournament this week.

(Banner photos) offered to eighth graders and high school students have the option to go directly into the type of industrial arts class that interests them. Page said the change is aimed at at­ tracting more female students to enroll in the industrial arts program. "We have not had many girls in our in­ dustrial arts classes," he said. The elimination of the survey class at the high school is expected to "rejuvenate" the in­ dustrial arts area, he said adding that the program had experienced declining enrollment because students had disliked the survey class. Prior to making the change, Page said it was discussed with consultants from Eastern Michigan University, the State Department of Education and representatives from other school districts. �The Hastings Banner — Thursday, March 8. 1984 — Page 2 VIEWPOINT: “Project Proud” planned in Delton Middle School Commentaries from our editorial staff and the community — Delton Kellogg Middle School students who have high potential but are underachievers will be part of a research program called Project Proud, conducted by consultants from the Barry Intermediate School District. The board of education heard a report about the project at its last meeting About 10-students will participate in the nine-week Project Proud group activity program which begins this month and Editorial concludes in May. said Dr. John Sanders, Delton's superintendent. Sue Drummond and Ann Lauderdale, consultants tor the BISD’s gifted and talented program, will conduct Project Proud and they will present an evaluation of their findings to the board at the conclusion of the sessions. Sanders said the purpose of the research project is to try to identify why the ub- derchievers with high potential are not performing and to assist them in ways that might promote their potential growth. Some of the goals are to assist students in gaining a better understanding of themselves and help them in problem solving In other business, the board accepted the lowest of three bids from Michigan Disposal Service for refuse collection for the 1984-85 school year. The bid, effective March 1. is for $736 per month from Sept, to June and $442 for the months of July and August. The board also set Monday.

Candidates for the two seats have until April 9 to file nominating petitions to place their names on the June election ballot. Bond cancelled for accused sex offender Students in a Hastings High School freshman English class look over their copies of Tbs Hastings Baawr, supplied at no cost to the school as part of the Newspaper tn Education program. Newspapers in Education The schools’ most modern textbook March 5-9 is being officially recognized in the nation as Newspapers in Education (NIE) Week, a week designed to increase awareness of the role newspapers can play in the educational process. Nationwide, 30 million newspapers are being used at 28.000 schools to study reading, language arts, social studies, math, science and home economics. In one respect, the NIE program, which is sponsored by the American Newspaper Publishers Association and the Internationa) Reading Association, is self-serving. Publishers believe, and we agree, that exposing students to regular newspaper reading at a young age can instill in them the habit of regular reading as they grow older. But, in other respects, the program also serves the students and the public by Bond was cancelled Friday in Barry County Circuit Court for a 41-year-old Kalamazoo man arrested last summer in the Barry Game Area during an alleged sexual assault on a 10-year-old boy. Norman Gayle Jones, Miller Rd., Kalamazoo, is scheduled to stand trial April 9 on a charge of sexual assault. The crime is punishable by up to 10 years in prison. Barry County Circuit Court Judge Richard M. Shuster cancelled bond after hearing that Kalamazoo police had stopped Jones early one morning for a minor traffic offense, and discovered he was wearing lipstick, and no pants. Prosecutors had only asked for an increase in Jones' $10,000 bond. Jones was arrested Aug. 22 by a Depart­ ment of Natural Resources officer, after the officer reportedly followed fresh tire tracks to a spot where he allegedly found Jones and the boy. Investigating officers from the Michigan State Police said Jones had lured the youth to the area, and had on him "restraining developing citizens who are better informed. Democracies live and die by the ability of the citizens to make reasonable decisions based on sound knowledge. The Constitution specifically protects the press to allow free dissemination of in­ formation. Newspapers, more than any other media, it has been shown, aid the citizen in understanding social and political issues. For example, studies have shown clearly that people who rely solely on television news for their information about an election campaign will be more confused on the issues than those who rely on newspapers as their main source of news. So, what does all of this mean for Hastings? For a number of years, the members of our staff have spoken to students about advertising, newspapers and journalism and we have frequently hosted students on tours of our office. Two years ago, specifically following the NIE theme, we created The Junior Journal in conjunction with the Hastings elementary school teachers and principals. The Journal was completely written and illustrated by the elementary students and published at nc cost to the schools. The latest edition of the Journal will role off the presses this week. Last fall, as part of our local NIE program, we began donating copies of the Banner each week to freshman English classes at the high school where they are used to study language and other topics. Newspapers, in fact, are a living textbook that can be used to teach at any age level. The American Newspaper Publishers Association has compiled a baker's dozen list of roles that newspapers can play in education. 1. It’s an adult medium. No big seventh grader who can't read likes to be seen carrying around "Six Ducks in a Pond,” but he’s proud to be seen reading the newspaper. 2. It deals in reality, in what is happening here and now. Motivation for reading and for discussion are built-in. 3. It bridges the gap between the classroom and the "real” world outside. 4. It contains history ar it happens; issues and events reported completely and objectively. 5. It contains something for every student, editorials, comics, math problems, science, sports, etc. 6. It contains practical vocabulary, the words students will use over and over throughout their lives. 7. It can be marked, cut, pasted, colored — activities important to young children who learn by doing and by seeing. 8. It contains in its news stories the best models for clear, concise, simple writing. 9. It is the perfect model for teaching students to write for a purpose and for a particular audience. 10. It is the most up-to-date social studies text there is. 11. It tells what's going on locally, in the youngster’s own hometown — the only chronicle of local events. (See note). 12. It is the on’y “text" the majority of children will continue to read throughout their lives. 13. It is an influential and integral part of our free society. Its freedom is guaranteed under the Constitution. The ANPA has also compiled a number of publications on how newspapers can be used in the classroom, ranging from "Using Newspapers to Teach Reading Skills'’ to “Johnny Can Read — A first hand account of how a dedicated teacher uses newspapers to help reluctant readers" and a bibliography of Newspaper in Education publications. Teachers, students, administrators and parents who would like more in­ formation on how to obtain materials are welcome to contact us. Our involvement in NIE is simply an extension of our belief that all businesses ought to be involved in education and the school systems. As we are so often reminded, the students in school today, in just a few short years, will be working in production, trades and service fields and as managers. A thorough understanding of what business is about can improve their attitudes as employees in later years. To be good workers, students must understand investments and profits and why they are necessary. The best way to give them that knowledge is through direct contact with people in the business community. Our support of the NIE program is one way we are trying to work with the students to make them better citizens and workers tomorrow. (Editor’s note: Historically, newspapers are the chronicle of local events. In the Banner files are collected over 100 years of history of this community). (USPS071-830) 1952 N. Broadway, P.O. Box B.

In other court proceedings: William Boyd, 48, Annabelle St., Detroit, stood mute to a charge of breaking and en­ tering of an occupied dwelling. A not guilty plea was entered for Boyd, who now faces a March 16 pre-trial. Boyd was arrested Nov. 3 for the break-in of a Thornapple Lake home. Greg Hard}', 10833 E. Shore Dr., Delton, pleaded guilty to a felony charge of larceny in a building, in connection with the break-in of an E. Shore Dr. home. Hardy’s sentencing is set for March 16. An April 9 trial is set for Randy Christie, 20,32 Battle Creek Ave., Battle Creek, for the crime of breaking and entering of an oc­ cupied dwelling with the intent to commit a larceny. The crime allegedly took place in Sept., 1983, at a Woods Rd. residence in Assyria Township. The role of the Chamber of Commerce by Steve Horton Sitting at the Hastings Moose Lodge last Thursday evening, sipping my beverage, I experienced first hand (and the first time for me) an Annual Chamber of Commerce Dinner-Meeting. First of all, the food was excellent, the awards to various local luminaries well deserved, and the speeches pleasantly short and to the point — all factors that lend a favorable impression. There’s more one can and should gleam from such an affair though— par­ ticularly since the business community, both in Hastings and in the state and nation, plays such an obviously vital role in most our lives. While acknowledging the fact that individuals differ in thought and opinion regardless of what group or organization they belong to, still there's a common flow that can usually be traced and one which, in the case of business, behooves further study. What emerged from the talks at last week's gathering, to this listener, was a bit of a tug-of-war (not altogether incompatible) about what role and direction a Chamber of Commerce (as an organization of business men and women) should take. For Hastings that role, as articulated by Chamber President Fred Jacobs, has been two-fold. The one role has been to promote various special events, such as "Sidewalk Sales", "Moonlight Sales", the “Christmas Open Houses and Christ­ mas Parade", and so on, as ways of encouraging more shopping, more business if you will, in this town. The second role has been that of a community service group, sponsoring such things as Open Forum meetings, the Legislative Breakfasts, the Business-Industry-Education Breakfast, and of course the popular SummerFest celebration. In assuming the latter role, the Chamber has attempted to draw other segments, like educators and labor groups, under a more common, "community’ umbrella. On the state level, the Chamber has — as outlined by its state president and Thursday's guest speaker James Barrett — concerned itself more and more with legislative matters and has taken on the role of lobbyist for business interests. Citing the UAW (United Auto Workers) and the MEA (Michigan Education Association) as two strong, politically active organizations whose aims and actions are often contrary to those of a Chamber member, Barrett urged business people to make themselves heard by government officials. He noted as a point of emphasis that a recent poll showed a “high” perception of business people by the public and that endorsements of political candidates by local Chambers have helped a great deal more than they have hurt. "You have more influence and more respect with the public than you often give yourselves credit for," he stressed. 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.

(Banner photo) PUBLIC OPINION and Elaine Gilbert A lower minimum wage for teens? Mark Lester Kelly Arnold Vera Wood Lisa Tinkler • Certainly neither of those roles — be it sales promoter and community service group or political advocate — is without merit and, as I mentioned earlier, the two are not necessarily incompatible. Business people — be they Chamber members or not — should protect their interests and advocate positions they favor both in the political arena and in the halls of government. The “Single Business Tax” (as written) and "Workmen’s Compensation Laws" (as interpreted' are a couple of costly reminders of the consequences u< doing otherwise. Yet I feel that the business community, particularly at the local level, puts itself in a better, more favorable light when it groups together, as a Chamber of Com­ merce, and uses its many and varied talents to promote and improve. While the bottom line of any business may be profit, I doubt that any but few see that as the sole purpose and goal. Rather I believe they see their establishments or professions as a way of life; a means of making a living of course, but also a means of raising a family, pursuing other interests and enjoyments, and generally making better their own lives and the lives of those around them. When they do that, as individuals and as a Chamber of Commerce, they not only do themselves a service, they do all of us one. Write us a letter! Sand form P.S. 3579 to P.O.

Hastings freshman schedules begin week of March 12 Eighth grade students in the Hastings Junior High School will be scheduling classes for their freshman year the week of March 12. Schedules are to be returned to the junior high counseling office after tliey have been signed by a parent. Parents who have a question before they sign may meet with a junior or senior high school counselor on March 15 at 7 p.m. in the junior high study hall. • QUESTION • President Reagan is once again trying for a special minimum wage for teenagers, one below the present $3.35 for adults. His efforts at getting such a rate passed died in com­ mittee last year, and labor unions say they will stymie the President's efforts this year as well. Public Opinion asked local residents last year how they felt about such a change, with most respondents reporting they favored the idea. With the economy im­ proving since last year, we thought we would ask the question again, to see if Hastings residents still fell the same. Do you favor a special minimum wage for teens? Mark Lester. Hastings: "Yes. I'll do any kind of work." says 13-year-old Mark. "Kids need to work so they II know more about it when they enter the job market later on." Kelly Arnold. Hastings: "I don’t really think it's right. I worked at 16 for S2.85 an hour...I worked just as hard and just as long as adults making more.. I don't think it will encourage that many kids to get jobs. But there's good and bad to it — If more kids are hired, then more kids will be kept off the streets.” Vera Wood.Hastings: "Absolutely not. We fought for years to get a minimum wage and we should not have it lowered. There's a lot of older people out there who need the work too. and they should have an equal op­ portunity." Lisa Tinkler. Hastings: "I think they should lower it It would give kids a chance to earn money for clothes and things like that." Lisa said the new wage should only take effect in the summer, to protect adult jobs. Karen Forman. Hastings: "No, it's not a good idea. They (teens) need money for college and other things." Kathy Silsbee, Hastings: “Yes, it would give teens a better opportunity for jobs." Tammy Connor. Hastings: "I think it should not be lower. An employer could lower it (wages) and higher more younger help." That would mean that adults who really needed jobs too would have a harder time securing employment, she added. Lisa Caln, Hastings: "No, I don't think it should be lower." She pointed out that she and other teens are saving money to help pay for their future college expenses "I help buy clothes and extra things. ." she said. Lisa said she is glad that she works at a fast-food restuarant that pays the minimum wage to all regardless of age. "I know some girls who work at another fast-food restaurant that doesn't pay them minimum wage and they 'eel they're not getting paid enough for the same work tas we do). There's a lot of hard work involved." �The Hostings Bonner — Thursday. March 8. 1984 — Page 3 Tourism meeting draws 50 people by Steve Horton Tourism — its benefits and potential for Barry County — was the focal point of a meeting held Tuesday morning in Hastings Over 50 people, largely from the business and government sectors, attended the presentation at The Oracle Restaurant, a session that was called together by Paul Kiel, chairman of the Board of Com­ missioners, on behalf of the County Tourism Council. Giving an overview of the financial and employment pluses of promoting tourism in the county, Kiel pep talked the audience, telling them "you can accomplish anything you set your goals to". He noted, giving an explanation for the reason the meeting was held, that when he was re-elected ar chairman of the board he had listed tourism as a number one priority. “Since then I've been interviewed by the media and I’ve repeated that,” he ointed out. “I said it because i believe that tourism in this county can be a long-term economic boost." Quoting figures from the state. Kiel noted that $11 billion was generated in Michigan by the tourist industry in 1983, the third con­ secutive year that it hit over $10 billion. “This represented a true growth of five percent during depressed economic times here," he continued. “It also generated $488 million for the state treasury, up $37 million from the year before. Tourism also created 253,000 fulltime jobs, an increase of 13,000 from 1982.” "What if we only got $2 million of that sum?” Kiel asked the audience "The point I want to make," he answered, “ is that we’re not getting our fair share. We’re a long ways from it. Barry County needs these tourist dollars." Along with that money increased tourism could bring in. Kiel cited the advantage of additional employment which tourism can create. "It’s a program you can undertake for the entire county," he said. "It increases dollars into county government and into the town­ ships and municipalities. It definitely helps business people. It helps the sick, disabled, unemployed and the taxnayers. Most im- portant. it makes jobs available. "The only way though that you can be successful at this," Kiel said, "is to have everyone working together. We have to build a team of public officials, business, labor and so on. Your goal should be more dollars for Barry." Kiel told those in attendance that the County Tourism Council needed help, both financially and with members, to "get the ball rolling". “The group needs money." he stressed. "It could be from the townships, the local Chambers of Commerce, memberships, whatever. There must be many ways to raise it.” He noted that the Board of Commissioners were interested in helping out financial^, but only after it saw a “well documented plan" and a some show of support for the project. "I believe they will support it,” Kiel said, "if you get behind this and put together a program." Commissioner James Gordon, who was in attendance, echoed that, slating that the commissioners "would be interested in supporting this process (of developing tourism/". "What we’re concerned with is that this financial support is not just coming from our general fund, but that other groups, private and public, are supporting this." He suggested that tne tourism group take a path similar to one taken by the Joint CityCounty Economic Development Corporation, one of meeting informally, drawing from some of the various representatives in at­ tendance at this meeting (business, government, labor, etc.) to form a steering committee, and then eventually formalizing the process. Adding to that idea was Jan Hartough. head of the county's Cooperative Extension Service. She noted that Michigan State University has tourist specialists who have and are working with counties to develop this industry. “They’ve worked with Allegan County and they're currently working with a nine-county organization in northeastern Michigan and they’re working with Ottawa County." she Clowning around C.

Currently over 65 percent of the total medicaid dollar pays the health care costs for an increasingly older and more disabled population in this country. The proposed reductions, the Association pointed out. would have "serious impUcations for future local budgets". *The Association of Counties, reviewing the federal budget, indicated that the proposal would premanently reduce the federal medicaid match to states by 44 percent in 1985 and three percent thereafter. The proposal also would require states to impose elaborated. “What they do is help set up a planning procedure w!,ich is basically a core of people From that core you can bring in many, many other people." Mike 0‘Brien. head of the County Tourism Council and president of the Gun Lake Chamber of Commerce, also addressed the audience. He said the Council was going to put on a “more concerted effort", but that it needed help from business people. "What we called this meeting for was to find out how many people are willing to help." he continued. "We need help finan­ cially and physically. "1 can’t argue with the county (board of commissioners) about giving us money." O’Brien added. “They’ve said we need to do something and we do. I'm sure the board will come across with some money, but we've got to have a good program. "First of all. I'd like to get more people at our monthly tourism meetings,” he con­ cluded, noting that the next one was Thur­ sday. March 29. noon, at the Middle-Villa in Middleville. co-payments. "These measures in combination would mean a loss of $1 billion in federal revenues to state and local governments in 1985 and over $5 million in lost revenues by 1989," the organization said. It added that total grants by the federal government to state and local governments have already dropped from 17 percent to 11 percent since 1978, making additional cut­ backs even more serious for locai units. The Association called on counties to contact their Senators and Representatives in Washington, D C., pointing out what these reductions in medicaid funding would mean to health services.

Antique tips and tidbits by Elaine Gilbert This Week Featuring... Shirley Rugg Nursing won out over a musical career when Shirley Rugg made career plans as a teenager. Today, she not only enjoys working in the nursing field, but she also spends time as a volunteer with several health-oriented organizations. Pursuing a nursing career was a decision that Shirley made after a great deal of thought, weighing the pros and cons of being a nurse and the dreams she entertained of possibly becoming a professional pianist. “I was a fairly accomplished piano player and I had had 12-years of music...it took a lot of hard thought but I got into nursing because 1 thought it was the best (career),’’ she says Over the years though, Shirley still has enjoyed playing the piano as a hobby. She’s also involved in another musical dimension — playing an organ she received as a gift last Christmas. She and her husband, John, moved to the Algonquin Lake area about eight years ago when he accepted a job here. Shirley is originally from Chelsea, located between Jackson and Ann Arbor. She graduated from Chelsea High School at age 17 and then enrolled in a four-year nursing program at Mercy College in Detroit. Because of her young age, she said she could not enroll in a three-year program. "You had to be 18...The only one (program* they would let me in was a four-year one where I would have to go all year-long, with no summer vacation." After receiving a bachelor of science degree in nursing from Mercy College, Shirley said she worked for seven years before marrying John. Her first position was at Leila Post Hospital in Battle Creek where she taught in the nursing program. "I taught everything except OB and peds.” Next, she taught medical surgical nursing at Mercy School of Nursing in Jackson where she continued to work until the couple's first child we- bom. Their children are now grown. Daughter Suzie is married and lives in Indianapolis. Their other daughter, Carol, is a registered nurse in Grand Rapids. They have two sons. David who attends Western Michigan University in Kalamazoo and Paul who is stationed in Florida with the U.S. Air Force. The Ruggs have two grandchildren. Six years ago, Shirley decided to go back tc work and was hired as a charge nurse at Provincial House in Hastings. She now works in an educational capacity again as a parttime inservice coordinator there, teaching classes for prospective nurses aides and holding orientations, etc. Her interest in health is continued in her spare time activities. Shirley is co-chairman of public education for the Barry County Chapter of the American Cancer Society; serves on the intern procedures committee for Barry Community Hospice; and is a member and former secretary-treasurer of a guild at Pennock Hospital. Shirley Rugg, a registered nurse and community volunteer who lives at Algonquin Lake, says one of her favorite recipes is for chicken almondine. It’s nice for company or a family Sunday dinner.

She belongs to the St. Margaret Mary Guild at St. Rose of Lima Catholic Church and is on the evaluation committee for the church's Spiritual Renew Committee. Shirley also is a former member of the Hastings Women’s Club. Bridge and bowling are activities she and her husband enjoy. They bowl in a couple's league and play duplicate and marathon bridge. Reading and crafts are two of Shirley’s favorite hobbies. She tries to read a book a week and says "I always have a craft project going...I can't sit idle." She enjoys sewing, knitting and crocheting afghans and sweaters and making needlepoint pillows. "I love to sew. 1 make some of my clothes — I used to make them all,” said Shirley. Cooking also is her forte. "I love to cook. I've always liked to cook and my husband enjoys food." She says hors d'oeuvres are one of her specialties. One of her all-time favorite recipes is for chicken almondine which she says her kids grew-up on for Sunday dinners. She shares that recipe with readers this week and says she calls it "Miss Shirley’s Chicken Almondine," explaining that her two grandchildren affectionately refer to her as “Miss Shirley." She found the recipe in a newspaper many years ago and has since added her own variations. Preparing the chicken almondine does "take a little time" says Shirley but she said it's worth it. The dish is not expensive to fix and it’s good enough for company, she adds. Shirley said she usually always prepares chicken almondine in advance and freezes it when she's going to serve it to company. “That way I canoenjoy having a good time with my guests." “Miss Shirley’s Chicken Almondine” Ingredients: 1 or l^-chickens (cut into serving pieces and preferably skinned), '4cup or less oleo, garlic flakes or powder, 2Tablespoons minced onion, 1-Tablespoon ketsup.

A TI O N A L There is more milk available in plastic and paper cartons today than in glass bottles. Glass milk bottles were rare 100 years ago. Milk was delivered in large cans and ladled into the house-wives’ containers until about 1866 One milk bottle is known with the date 1866. but was in very limited use The first commercial bottled milk delivered was made in Brooklyn. New York, by Alexander Campbell in the 1880s. Early milk bottles were made in Maryland by 1881. The "Thatcher" bottle is considered the first important American milk bottle. Dr. Harvey Thatcher, a druggist, was concerned with sanitary milk delivery. He developed a covered pail that he called a milk protector. By 1884. he invented his first milk bottle, which he also called the Thatcher Milk Protector. The words "Absolutely Pure Milk" were on each bottle. A farmer milking a cow was another part of the design on the glass. The first buttles had metal closures. The glass top was used by 1886. Many other types of milk bottles were made during the 1890s. Most of them were made with glass tops. The first paper caps were used in 1889. The square milk bottle was developed by 1900. Cream top bottles were made during the 1930s. A few colored milk bottles have been made because it was believed that the dark glass would protect the milk. The paper milk carton was invented in 1906. The game of golf started in Holland during the 14th Century. It was not until the 1880s that it becamea popular game in England and America. The manufacture of golf clubs was a business by the 17th Century. Very few early golf clubs made before the 19th Century still exist. The early clubs had long, narrow heads of beech or applewood. They were leadweighted and had horn insets on the bottom of the head. The early heads were spliced on shafts with a long joint until the beginning of the 20th Century when the socket joint was developed. Shafts were made of ash or hickory until 1930 when the metal shaft became popular. Irons came into use during the 18SOs when the gutta-percha ball was developed. Some of the gorgeous furniture of the Victorian period was made with papiermache. Even though the ingredients are, for the most part, paper and glue, this type furniture was strong and substantial, and some of the most beautiful. English papier-mache was made from paper consisting of cotton or linen rags. A paste of glue, resin and flour was mixed with the shredded paper. The mixture was spread on a flat surface to dry into sheets. Then it was baked until hard. Finished papiermache sheets were hard enough to saw­ like wood. The surface was smoothed with a pumice stone, polished with a leather chamois, and then painted. The paints were mixtures of various var- Mtmb.r FDIC (All deposits Insured up to $100,000.00) In the Feb. 23 issue, an ingredient was omitted for Betty Thalman's brown sugar chocolate cake When preparing the cake, add one cup of boiling water to the ingredients (The boding water may Im? used to melt the chocolate if desired). Some furniture pieces were decorated with mother-of-nearl inlay. Thin pieces of pearl shells were placed on the papier-mache sheets. Then the entire sheet was varnished until the top again had a smooth surface. Sanding removed the varnish that covered the pearl. The finished piece glistened with the mother-of-pearl and additional decoration of gold and colored paints. Papier-mache items are surprisingly sturdy and have survived years of use. A good way to protect the leather tops on antique tables is to keep them free of dust and dirt with saddle soap or Neats’-foot oil. A leather dressing should be used about twice a year. All of these products can be found at a leather goods or shoe store. If the leather is stiff, cracked, discolored, or has other major flaws, little can be done The turkey could have been our national symbol if Benjamin Franklin had his way in the 18th Century. The country began designing the great seal in 1782. Congress decided on some classical symbols that were well-known before that time. The eagle had been a Roman symbol of power. It was adapted as an American symbol before the revolution. Franklin considered the eagle a bird of prey and believed that it would be the wrong emblem. Most felt the eagle would make a better symbol than the native turkey favored by Franklin. By the beginning of the 19th Century, America had many symbols: the stars and stripes, Liberty, the eagle, and George Washington. All of these were used on furniture, mirrors, glass, fabrics, pottery, or in drawings that represented the United States. The meaning has remained clear. The freespirited eagle continues to represent the U.". In everything from cartoons to emblems. If your wicker furniture has become dry and “squeeky" from the dry at­ mosphere in your home through the winter months, remove all fabric cushions and wet liberally. This will cause the wicker st-ands to swell slightly while giving it the moisture it requires. Moisture strengthens wicker fibers. This is one reason wicker is the ideal furniture for outside areas. An ex­ cellent preservative for wicker is a coating of equal parts of colorless varnish and mineral oil. This in­ formation applies only to wicker in its natural slate. Painted wicker has all its pores filled with paint; therefore it cannot soak in any other treatment solution. Well preserved old wicker pieces are in much demand — not only by dealers but by homemakers who want to beautify their home decor. Even new wicker purchased on today's market will only increase in value rapidly. The more ornate, the more desirable. All IRA’s may look the same. Until you retire.

Page 9 Saxons win close 70-68 decision Monday by Steve Vedder The madness almost began early. Gull Lake, winners of only seven games all year and a 89-66 loser to Hastings two weeks ago. nearly kicked off the state tournament with a huge upset Monday night before succumbing to the Saxons 70^8. Il was a game the scrappy Blue Devils had every opportunity to win. They fought back from as many as nine points down and ac­ tually led by three with three minutes remaining. But in the end .t was the old turnover buga-boo that sent Gull Lake careening to the sidelines. And as Saxon coach Denny O’Mara put it later, "Any tournament win is a good win." Hastings (15-6) led the entire first three quarters and still led 52-51 as the fourth period opened. But a quick Gull Lake basket give the Blue Devils their first lead at 53-52. The lead either changed hands or was tied seven times in the next five minutes until Gull Lake pulled into a 64-61 lead with 3:32 remaining. A tip in by Hastings' Mike Matthews cut the margin to 64-63 with 2:04 to go. Following a Gull Lake turnover, Hastings regained the lead, 65-64, on a Mark Brown layup with 1:39 left. After a Gull Lake basket pulled them back into a 66-65 lead, Rob Olsen hit a clutch hoop with 1:10 remaining. Matthews followed with a steal, picked up a foul, and hit one of two free throws to up the lead to 68-66. The Blue Devils then coughed up the ball again, fouled Brown, and watched as the junior all-stater’s two free throws iced the game at 70-66 with 21 ticks on the clock. Hastings led 19-13 after one period and 3429 at the half. The game turned around in the third period when Gull Lake outscored Hastings 22-18. "We just didn’t execute in the third period,” said O'Mara. Statistically, Hastings grabbed 17 defensive and nine offensive rebounds to 17 and eight for Gull Lake. But O'Mara wasn't happy with those figures. “We were allowing them to get the easy offensive rebound," he said. o'Mara said one difference in this game and the first lime the teams met was shooting. The Saxons canned 28 of 57 ( 49 per cent) as opposed to 28 of 50 ( 56 per cent) for the visitors. Hastings was 14 of 21 from the line and Gull Lake sank 12 of 18. "We didn’t play particularly poor on defense; they just made some amazing shots," said O’Mara. Brown finished 18 of 30 from the field and led Hastings with 45 points. He had scored a season-high 50 points against Gull Lake on Feb. 21. Mike Shaw added eight points and Matthews checked in with seven points, but made two critical steals down the stretch. Chris Quartermaine, a 6-2 junior forward, led Gull Lake with 30 points hitting prac­ tically every know shot including turnaround jumpers and 25-footers. "He was amazing, wasn't he?” noted O’Mara. Hastings was to have played Wayland in round two of the districts last night. If tJte Saxons won that game they will play in the district championship game on Friday at 7:30.

McBerh scored 15 points for Delton, which now advances to the district title game on Friday. (Banner photc) Delton advances to finals with 64-63 overtime win Jim Meade's free throw with two seconds remaining in overtime gave Delton a 64-63 win over Comstock Tuesday night and propelled the Panthers into Friday’s district finals. Delton, now 16-5. will play Wednesday's winner of the Hastings-Wayland game at 7:30. The Panthers have already beaten Hastings twice. 72-65 and 79-62, while also losing a 60-59 overtime decision to Wayland early in the year. Delton coach Paul Blacken has no preference who the Panthers play on Friday. “We don’t really care," he said. "We’re just glad to be there." The Panthers, however, nearly found themselves banished to the sidelines on Tuesday night. After grabbing a comfortable 30-24 halftime lead, Delton found themselves on the short end of an 18-13 third period margin. Comstock rallied to knot the score 58-58 at the end of regulation time thus forcing the extra three minute session. Comstock had several chances to win the game in overtime, but missed numerous critical one-and-ones. Never-the-less, it took a basket by Steve Tuin following a snazzy pass from Brett McBeth to tie the game at 6363 with 30 seconds left. After Comstock missed another scoring chance, Delton grabbed possession of the ball and sent the ball inside to Meade, who was fouled. The sophomore center canned one of the two free throws to give Delton the hard-earned 64-63 win. Rick Hurdlebrink, averaging 12.5 points the last three games, led Delton with 18 points. McBeth and Meade, despite playing with an injured ankle, finished with 15 markers each. Jay Henry and Tuin, averaging 14 points per game each, were held to six and eight points by Comstock. Tuin and Meade led the rebounders with 15 each. Bryan Crosby fired in 26 points for Cornstock and Terry Dedoes added 20. Statistically, Delton was 27 of 51 (53 per cent) from the field and 10 of 20 ( 50 per cent) from the line. Blacken said his team was just "out of sine" during the sluggish second half allowing Comstock to sneak back in the game. “We played well when we had to," he said. “It was a typical tournament game. It was up for grabs until the end. "I’m just happy we won that first one." by Steve Vcdder You never know I remember the guy as a loner, the type of person who only let his fraternity brothers get close. At the time, yours truly was but a mere fuzzy-faced college freshman while this other fellow was a grizzled senior The only reason I think of him now was because of the little old lady that stopped me in the street the other day. The woman shook her umbrella at me (she probably used it to harpoon whales in the old days) and asked me if I was “that sportswriter guy." After thinking twice about what my parents had taught me of always telling the truth, I told the little old lady, yes. I was indeed “that sportswriter guy.” The woman asked me about the column 1 did a while back on Eddie, an old high school chum who had since died. "Don’t you know any stories with happy endings?" the woman spat at me. Somehow I didn’t think she wanted to hear the one about Little Red Riding Hood or Goldilocks and The Three Bears "Why yes." I stammered, looking around for a taxi or something. "As a matter of fact I can think of one." As soon as the lady’s umbrella was removed from my ribs 1 promised her I’d come up with a story with a happy ending. So. under pressure from somebody's sweet — but well-armed — old grand­ mother. I’m here to tell the one about Gary, the fellow 1 mentioned earlier. Gary and I played baseball together in college. He was the gruff old senior and I was the meek little frosh who didn't say boo to anyone. Now. Gary was the type of person who didn’t seemed overly gifted in the intelligence department. He could open a can of beer by himself — something hewasquiteadeptatasa matterot fact — but that was about it. All he seemed capable of doing was playing baseball, running around with Ins frat rat brothers (known hoodlums) and drinking beer. The way I heard it, he was an AllAmerican in the later two departments. As far as studies, Gary didn't seem to have much interest in the classroom aspect of college. No doubt they clashed with his other more important en­ deavors. Getting along with people wasn't his cup of tea either. I recall the baseball coach suspending Gary during his senior year because of his escapades during the team s southern trip. The truth was the guy didn't seem to have a clue of what to do with his life. In my infinite wisdom. I didn't think the guy would ever amount to beans once he joined what we used to call "the real world." How could Gary possibly cut it when the only talents he possessed were drinking beer and playing baseball? How many Jim Boutons could the world handle, anyway? But something happened to Gary once he abandoned the hallowed walls of college. When 1 heard what finally became of the guy I could hardly believe my ears. He made something of his life — something which I never thought the guy was capable of doing. It was one of the best lessons I've ever learned, one that I've tried to put to use in the years since 1 knew Gary. 1 learned that given a chance, almost anybody has the potential to succeed. Gary moved to the city of New York where he is now a noted brain surgeon. You never know.

Middleville's basketball team revived some long doormant tournament memories Monday night in notching a 79-72 win over Hopkins at the Byron Center districts. Trojan coach Skip Pranger, frustrated over his team's mediocre 10-10 mark this year, was asked if it was time to book a return ticket to the state semi-finals Ann Arbor just like a year ago. “Hey, let's take one game at a time,'' he laughed. Actually, the seven-point win was much like the vast majority of Trojan games this season. They played well at times but suf­ fered mental lapses later in the game that could have cost them a win. Middleville sizzled to 21-10 and 48-29 first quarter and halftime leads. “We got along well against their 1-3-1," said Pranger. "We did a nice job. We did everything well. We played scrappy on defense and rebounded and shot well.** But, as what has happened in numerous cases this winter, in the second half the Trojans ceased blocking out on rebounding and began turning the ball over.

Paqe 11 Teen Drinking Law enforcement officials discuss planned prevention program In response to The Banner's Feb. 2 editorial on a new program to fight teen drinking in the county, four of the law en­ forcement officials who helped to create the program sat down for an in-depth interview, Monday. Answering the questions arc Hastings Police Chief Mark Steinfort, Hastings Detective Dana Steidle, State Police Lt. Richard Zimmerman and Prosecutor Judy Hughes. Their comments have been edited for length. What Incidents, specifically or generally, led to the program to fight teenage drinking? Steinfort: There always has been teenage drinking. When we were teenagers there was a problem. It's not a big society problem like some things are. It’s one of those things we deal with. Just in the last year or so, there were fatal accidents involving youth. I myself have had calls saying that there was one or two certain establishments in town selling to minors. Zimmerman: There’s one (establishment) in particular that (the State Police) knew of too. Hughes: There have been similar calls to the county about establishments outside the city limits. Steinfort: We realize that’s part of the problem. We also unuo-stand, of course, that teenagers get their booze from bigger brothers, friends, cousins. Steidle: (Or) anybody over 21 interested in making a fast dollar. Can you give us. statistically, an indication of the scope of the problem? Steinfort: I don't think we can give a true answer to it — it’s just like the iceberg. You catch one and there’s IL other ones running around. And that's not saying that all teenagers are out drinking either. There's a certain amount that do and a certain amount that don’t Do you know the extent of buying by teenagers at party stores? Steinfort: Who really knows? Zimmerman: It's something you can't gauge, you can't measure that. Steinfort: We know what stores. Steidle: One of the things we hope to be able to find out is just how much is really going on. Steinfort: We got the report of the certain stores. In one case in town, it's probably the employee that's selling it and not the owner. You cited the ten 1983 automobile fatalities, saying that seven were alcohol related, as evidence of a need for this program. Since teenagers were not involved in most of these accidents, how does this relate to the problem? Steinfort: I don’t know the answer to that one. Do you view this program as primarily an educational program or primarily an en­ forcement program? Steinfort: We started out dealing with it as an educational program. I think that what worried some of the establishments was that we were going to go out and do all of this undercover stuff and pul in thousands of manhours to just bust bars. That's not it. What we want to do is educate the business ownersand the employees so that they sell to the proper kind of people There’s people that start businesses that really don't know all the laws or they don't want to make a scene or they don't know what to do on a forgery. A 19year-old comes in and they don’t want to confront him. They don't know the difference between good ID (identification) and bad ID. That's why Lt Zimmerman had Lt. (Wes) Haney (of Rockford) come down and show us . some stuff that’s going on and different educational things we could have. We can have a meeting with bar owners to teach them and their employees. Hughes: We can have a much broader effect on the problem by approaching it from an educational aspect rather than from a law enforceement aspect after the fact. We (could) say, "No, no, you’re going to court and we're going to get you some reprimand on your license and a fine from the district court, besides." When you go about it in an educational manner, and you teach the establishments what they can and can't do, what their rights and liabilites are, you're going to have a greater impact on the sale of alcohol to minors. That’s not to say, we won’t have some law enforcement action later on. Probably the strength of our (educational program) will be shown in the smaller numbers of people that we find actually violating. Steidle: I personally went around to all of the liquor licenses in town. The employees and owners were very receptive to the idea of an educational program as to how to spot socalled fake ID, what to look for, how to treat the different situations. Zimmerman: We want to try to get a handle on those people that we contact and see if they want to get involved in this. If they’re willing to show an interest in hav.ng (a seminar), then we’re more than willing to set it up. Will this program put the burden of en­ forcement on the liquor dealers or on the police agencies? Steinfort: I believe that it will put the burden on the liquor dealers. Like (Lt. Zimmerman) was saying...about manpower. I don't have the manpower to have a cop sitting at every business al! of the time. It's their business. They're responsible. Hughes: They're licensed and a license is a privilege. Zimmerman: We’re not expecting the liquor establishments to enforce the law. All we’re trying to do in one phase of our program is to educate those people involved with liquor licenses and, in effect, possibly, they will be a part of (enforcement). By doing those things that they are required to do as a license holder, they can probably stem a lot of this stuff before it ever gets started, simply by asking for ID. And if a place gets a reputation that says, “Don't go in there because they’re going to check ID — everybody, or most everybody," obviously, you're not going to even attempt it there. So then, you've got to do one of two things — you go to someplace else, or you solicit somebody outside who is of age to buy for you. Hughes: We know that happens. I've heard that story come back already. Zimmerman: We can’t control those types of things. Working with our liquor establish­ ments, they can make things a lot easier for everybody. Hughes: (Inone) particular instance, they approached the owner that happened to be out in the parking IcL He sent them packing. Will you be looking for any public in­ volvement in this program? Can people volunteer their services In any way? Who do they contact? Steinfort: For this type of program, at the very last, at the end of the whole thing, is when we'll go out and attempt to make a buy from the establishments in town. One business that we talked to was afraid that we were going to get somebody that looked 25 that was actually 20 and give them false ID. which is very untrue. We’ll use somebody that looks 16, so there’s no reason to say that we tried to trick somebody. As for our department, we’ve already got those people picked out...they’re 18 years old, not juveniles. We have to be careful who we use. On other programs, we always hope that people will call in and report crimes. Hughes: Some really big cases have been broken by citizen involvement. Will this program tie up an inordinate amount of manpower to fight this specific problem? Will that, in turn, affect general law enforcement work In any way? Steinfort: For the Hastings Police Department, the only persons that are working on this are Detective Steidle and myself. Dana's done a lot, most of it, in the last three weeks. So, it's not interfering with any other regular patrol function of the rest of the department. Steidle: If I have the time to work on this, then I do work on it. If I have a case pending, that gets first priority. Steinfort: It’s not like we’re doing this in a two or three day time. I think that the Sheriffs Department hasn’t even started its bars yet. Zimmerman: You see that's the problem with the limited amount of manpower. We have to do these things as we find time. In police work, in general, you always have to prioritize those things that you do. So if this is a high priority at that particular time, then you can do something. If something else comes up that you feel is a higher priority, then you’ll do that and come back to this when you find time. So. there’s no loss of any type of manpower or no services to the public (for) this. But because of lack of manpower...we are basically behind in...the program. We’d obviously like to be further along than what we are. How would you like this program to func­ tion and what would you like the public perception of it to be? Steinfort : I’d like to see it function well and have the education part come out where we can assist the bar owners and employees to make the proper decision in day-to-day business. And. when it comes down to sen­ ding somebody out to buy, get that over with and not dwell on it Then, if there are further educational things after that, — I'm sure there will be more questions after that — to continue to help educate the..bar owners and workers. We want to be doing ths for the com­ munity. If we can lower that percentage of teenage drinking, fantastic. The hard thing about it is that you can't prove what you've done. You can't tell if you saved a life or a car accident or whatever. It's like a lot of things law enforcement does, it’s preven­ tative. Why aren't comparison statistics with other communities important to understand the scope of tht problem here? Steinfort: Basically, what statistics are there from other counties that are com­ parable? This is a program we decided to do this year and we're doing it. And actually, I don't know about statistics, but there are other counties that have done it in the last couple of years, Kalamazoo, Newago, Ot­ tawa. Montcalm, Isabella. Some (were) very, very successful and some didn’t come’ out too good. Steidle: Each one has had its own variation. Hughes: They've all approached the problem in a different way. Steinfort: Kalamazoo County, this July, has a big thing on doing blockades to check for worn tires, because they have a big problem with accidents with worn tires. That's what they want to do. We want io do something eke. It's hard...as a citizen of this county or this city to know why suddenly all of the police agencies are teaming up to fight teen drinking. I guess it's always been a problem. You say it has. How do I know? Steinfort: I just told you that it was '.laughs). We've got to work together because just outside of Hastings we’ve got two bars. We could have all of our bars and our people checked out on the laws and cheddng ID and not selling to people and then have them go out of town. Hughes: I think that it’s a good point that this is a problem that's always been decried by law enforcement. Generally, everybody talks about it and says, "Oh, isn't it a shame.” But we never get to the point of, "What can we do?" Well, this time, I think (the police) got to (that) point...and they took it to some other people. They joined because they've also been saying, "This is a problem, we need to do something but we can’t do it alone." Steinfort: I think society says it You watch TV and every week there's something on about teenage drinking or something similar. Hughes: Every high school class has their tragic story of a fatality with a teenage drinker. Zimmerman: I think this.is one part of the total picture on drinking, when society becomes mad enough and...really wants to do something about a problem. Alcoholism and drinking have always been there. But when these things start to cone together, such as Mothers Against Drunk Drivers (MADD), these type of things...it attracts a certain segment of the population when people have finally had enough of it. We realize now that we kill all of these thousands and thousands of people in car accidents because of drunk drivers. We lower the drinking age, we look at the (statistics) we see that our fatalities go up, our accidents go up. These are things that we've got to look at. This is one facet of it. Maybe if we can get to the kids that are underage, we can do a little something to stem the problem at the beginning instead of waiting until they are 21. It's an education program. As far as I'm concerned the thrust of our program is awareness and education. It's not a crack­ down and it's not anything like that. We've got a rough program and we'll modify it and adapt to it as we go along. If somebody says, "’Vhy don't you do something about this?" If it's something within our realm within our availability to be able to do it...we could say, "Okay, that's a good idea." As we approach tlie bar owners, we're saying to them, "These are the things we have available." We're also saying to them, “What would you like? Is there something else that you'd like us to cover in this meeting? What's your biggest problem? We can help you out with seminars on drunk drivers, serving drunks, ID programs. You name it. We've got programs all over the place." Steinfort: This is not saying that we're against teenagers either, Because most of them are responsible. But even those responsible (can) get hold of alcohol and screw up their lives. steinfort: We've all got different programs going on, other than this one, too. We’ve got the National Child Safety Council going to the grade schools; in sixth grade they’ve got a workbook on drugs. Also, we've just gone in with HELP. We’ll be distributing booklets or pamphlets on drugs for parents. Most parents don't know anything about drugs. Zimmerman: When push comes to shove, though, if we've got a problem that we perceive to be a problem within our com­ munity, it really doesn't matter what they're doing over in Kalamazoo. If they’re not having the same problem, then it’s not a problem to them, or...they're not perceiving it to be a problem. We're saying, we’ve looked at it..... We’re saying that we're hearing the same things on the street. Dif­ ferent things have happened — drunk drivers, programs, there's accidents in­ volving teenagers. We start looking and we’ve...got over 50 percent of our arrests involving alcohol are involving people under age. and it keeps going on and on. It's our perception “ that‘ SENIOR CITIZENS an interview the drinking uiuuium program are are (from left) Hostings Detective Dana .------- on ----------- county -—“"■7 teen ——■■ wiinrxinu , Steidle, Prosecutor .tor Judy J..H. Hughes. H,c.State Police .. Lt. Richard Zimmerman _ on<J Hoj|ings »o||ce ch.e( Mork Steinfort. we've got a problem. Again, keep in mind that it is an education awareness program more so than an en­ forcement program. And we’re saying to the community, we're willing to get involved, we're willing to heip you. What we're asking you is that we want you to get involved. We're asking for your help and your assistance. What about the penalties? Hughes: We talked in general about how the penalties that are given to those that we did catch were not taken seriously. 10-10 and 5, a $25 fine doesn't mean much to a kid if he can get away without his parents even knowing. That was not making any impact on the violators. So we were tossing around various ideas about how to make an impact. We re open to suggestions, like everybody else. (We talked about) probation, money, community ser­ vice, giving talks to other kids, writing an essay and all of that....some of which the juvenile court does already, but which the district court does not normally do, hasn't been doing, for offenders 17 to 21. Steinfort: The prices set for fines were set a long, long time ago, when $25 meant something. Hughes: The same with the LCC (Liquor Control Commission) violations. Those fines were set many, many years ago. Judge Holman was at a couple of our meetings when we tossed around some of the ideas. I can't speak for the judge, but he was participating in some of the conversations and I would say receptive. Certainly, there are maximums on what he can do. For example, minor in possession is only a civil infraction, so he doesn't have jail time as one of his options. We also talked about any particular amount of jail time would make an impact, even if it were only three hours or overnight. Throw a kid in jail overnight, that’ll open his eyes. Steinfort: We’re not saying 16 year olds. Hughes: Seventeen to 21. Something that would make an impact. Zimmerman: I don't think that we’re advocating jail time for getting caught with beer, but again, it’s just another fragment of the program. Maybe those people that we are catching, maybe the court system is not making any impact on those people. Hughes: Jail time may not be the right thing. Zimmerman: You have to have a punish­ ment that fits the crime, whatever that is. We dicussed a lot of things. There are some things you can do and some that you can't do. Sometimes the system doesn’t allow you do the things that you'd like to do or think may be appropriate. Do you have anything specifically in mind that you are planning to do with the school? Steidle: First off, we're not that far in the program yet. We have to get together with the school officials. Seine school officials believe strongly that scare programs, scare tactics are the wrong way to go. We have to get their feelings on what they think is going to be the best type of program to reach their children. They know the children better than we do. They know the students better. Steinfort: I’ve already talked to (Hastings School Superintendent) Carl Schoessel and he's given us his okay. We'll have to go through the principals. Steidle: Junior high, talking with them, they said, hot necessarily this program, but any programs we have now or in the future, if we have any experimental programs, they are open for us to try them out. Steinfort: A lot of teenagers don’t realize the impact on your life (that) alcohol does have, both physically and emotionally, let alone if you get caught. Steidle: I talked with some students the other day, to give you an example. When mom and dad go away for a weekend, it's nothing for one of the kids to say, "Let's have a party." The folks are gone, out-of-town, so they have their party. They gel together, somebody brings in some booze, somebody COMMISSION ORDER No. CFI-121.81 LET'S DO OUR THING AGAIN!

Harry Burke (Under authority of Act 230, P.A. 1925, as omendsd) SIZE LIMIT ON BASS The Natural Resources Commission, at its meet­ ing on July 11,1980, under authority of Act 230, P.A. 1925, as amended, set the size limit on smallmouth and lorgemouth bass at 12 inches for a period of five years beginning January 1, 1981, on all Michigan waters including the Great Lakes and connecting waters. gets loaded on it. They’re all having a great time, it’s all in good clean fun But, what happens if that one kid who got loaded goes out and wraps his car around a tree? They don't know that there is such a thing as liability, that the parents of the dead student can come back and sue and take them for everything they've got. Take their parents house, whatever. The liability is on them for allowing it I've got it here in state statute where the liability falls. It's just the same as the bartender that served the drunk too many drinks then let him go out and drive. The students aren't aware of this. Have you set any kind of a goal for the impact? Hughes: I heard some members of the public say that if we could save one life, the whole thing is worth it I don't know how you'll ever be able to measure that. If we can have as few violations as possible in our undercover operations, sending minors in to buy alcohol in liquor establish­ ments, that's tremendous. If all of the establishments are towing die line and kids are not getting it, that’s what we are after. Some county, I forget which, had 60 or 75 percent of their establishments sold (to minois). But, they did not have a prevention program first They just went out cold. I certainly don’t want to see GO or 75 percent of establishments selling to minors. I’d like to see as few as possible. Then we know it’s working. Steidle: The different agencies have united together to tackle one problem and it's brought our agencies closer together, working more hand-in-hand than I believe we ever have before in coordinating things. rt.nd this is definitely a worthwhile program Working on the streets for the past 11 years, I've seen numerous accidents, alcohol related. I’ve had to deliver what I consider more than my share of death messages to parents telling them that their children are no longer. If we can get out, educate the people and make them aware of what’s going on, then I hope that not so many death messages will have to be delievered. Zimmerman: We can't do any of it without an active interest on the...public's part. If they're not willing to cooperate, then it's all for naught. Hughes: So far the response has been receptive. Zimmerman: People don't have to fear this program. Workshops to offer ideas for sports clubs Cablegram Members of outdoor sports clubs may obtain helpful information during a special workshop being offered during Farmers’ Week and Natural Resources Days, March 19-24 at Michigan State University.

Area villages hold elections Monday Library has new set of Michigan laws State Sen. Robert Welborn, R-Kolamazoo, presented a new set of the Michigan compiled laws and annual supplements, including the public and local acts, to the Hastings Public Library, Monday. Accepting the gift is Librarian Eileen Oehler. Welborn said that each state senator and representative is allowed two sets of the books, one of which he retained for his office use. "I held the second set for the first place that asked for them." he said. by Steve Horton A proposal to expand and renovate the Barry Medical Facility for $1.4 million got a go ahead by the County Board of Com­ missioners Tuesday moining, but its resolution was only tenative and not a "definite" approval. Carolyn Coleman expressed the leelings of a couple of other commissioners when she asked for a rundown of the steps that need to be taken before there's a final decision. "1 want to know precisely where the stops are," she said. A little later she added. “I h_ve no ob­ jections to this project. It’s probably the thing we should do, but looking down the road I want to make sure we (the county) don't end up paying more than we can afford. "I don't mind getting this underway," she said, “if we have a place to stop it, if we decide we can't afford it.” Paul Kiel, chairman of the commission, added. “We have to make sure there’s a stop gap. We don’t want to pass a resolution that committs us." Both Rae Hoa-e, the commissioner working on the project, and Richard Ritter, director of the Dept, of Social Services, assured the rest of the board that the motion was only a "resolution of intent". "It's a beginning we liave to start with to get this thing underway." explained Hoare. Robbery suspect found guilty Tuesday A Nashville man was found guilty of the Sept. 29 armed robbery of a Hastings party store, following a bench trial in Barry County Circuit Court Tuesday. Two other men pleaded guilty Monday to lesser charges arising from the incident. Edward Lee Allen, 40, formerly of 5100 Curtis Rd., Nashville, faces up to life in prison when he is sentenced March 26. He is currently free on $10,000 bond. Allen was also found guilty of carrying a weapon in the commission of a felony. Allen's accomplice:*., Robert Alfred Franklin, 27, and Jack Cleve Harmon, 30, both formerly of Charlotte, pleaded guilty Monday to unarmed robbery and to being habitual offenders. As part of a plea agreement with prosecutors, they will receive sentences of 10 to 15 years each. They will also be sentenced March 23. The three men were arrested ap­ proximately ten minutes after the robbery of the Superette Party Store on N. Michigan Ave. City police say Franklin and Harmon entered the store and robbed a cashier at gunpoint, while Allen waited outside in a truck. The three men then fled to a house on the south side of town. Police credited two alert Hastings citizens who witnessed the robbery and followed the suspects to the home for the arrests. Continued on page 2 Hastings Devoted to the Interests of Barry County Since 1856 Volume 129, No. 11 Hastings, Michigan Price 20c Thursday, March 15. 1984 Hastings millage renewal passed Voters in the Hastings Area School district Monday overwhelmingly approved a threeyear renewal of 18.51 mills for the operation of the schools. The final vote tally was 1.280 for. and 448 against the renewal. The 1,728 votes cast represent roughly 25 percent of the ap­ proximately 7.000 registered voters in the school district. “What this does show is that people feel good about the school system and value the services and programs that it is offering." said Carl Schoessel, superintendent of schools. Fred Jacobs, chairman of the citizen's steering committee, said he is “very thank­ ful" for the voters' approval. “The numbers are significant in showing a response by the positive voters, but in no way do the numbers show a mandate from the people," said Jacobs, noting that only 25 percent of registered voters went to the polls Monday. That total compares to the 2,714 who participated in the ill-fated Sept. 14 millage election, and the 3,150 who voted in the Middleville’s Sullivan keeps post A last-minute write-in campaign was not enough to upset unopposed candidates for village president and village clerk in Freeport Monday. Charles Blough, a longtime village resident who has been both president and trustee, won election to the village presidency with 61 votes, beating write-in candidate Ron Geiger, who received 29 votes. Iris Yoder, incumbent village clerk, beat out write-in challenger Karen Webb by a vote of 64 to 19. Three individuals were elected to fouryear seats as village trustees out of a field of five. Benjamin Christies was top vote getter with 70. followed by Verlon Goforth with 54 and Lyle Blough, the former village president, with 52. Gayle Thaler received 25 votes, and in­ cumbent trustee Kenneth Coleman received 18 votes. Charles Baldry received 21 write-in votes, and Steve Baldrey received one writein vote. Wesley Lewis won election to a two-year trustee seat with 51 votes, to beat out write-in challenger Judson Claypool, who garnered 21 votes. In Nashville. 60 voters cast ballots tor an would occur regardless of whether or not the project is urdertaken. He added that the Medical Facility has been paying for itself for a number of years, adding that it has also been putting more money back into its operations than the amount of the county subsidy "And this is county property.” he said. R'tter said he felt that the pavment, plus the increased local share, would pn»tty much be covered by the Medical Facility, but agreed then was always the possibility of that not happening. “You (thecounty will have to stand any obligations that the facility is unable to pay." he noted, ‘‘but the trend isn't that way. We have a waiting list of patients wanting to get in. "The county's required subsidy (called Maintenance of Effort) would be increased because of this project." Ritter said, "if the expansion were to cause an increase in ex­ penses. Then that subsidy would go (up) the same percentage of the increased costs." "I feel though that this is a pretty good buy," he said. "It enhances the county by upgrading (he plant. We also get more credit back on the Medicaid "per patient per day" payment by making these improvements. In a sense we would be getting more from the state because we would be putting more of our own money it." Banner Area election results Incumbent Robert Sullivan won re-election to the post of village president in Middleville Monday. Sullivan received 70 votes, to Republican challenger's Dave Tubergen's 58 votes. Marge Loew, who unsuccessfully challenged Sullivan in the Feb. 20 Democratic primary, received 30 write-in voles. Less than 15 percent of Middleville's ap1 proximately 1,100 registered voters went to the polls. Marilyn VandenBerg won election to a three-year term on the village board of trustees, squeaking by challenger William Hardy by a 88-86 vote margin. Four in­ cumbent trustees, all unopposed, were re­ elected. They are Floyd Bray. Valerie Owen, Connie Duyser and Joseph Scott. Village Clerk Shiriey Eaton, and Treasurer Gary Rounds were also re-elected. "It does not lock us in." Commissioner James Gordon, who is also involved with the project, concurred. “I think we need to pass this resolution to reach those other steps further along the way." he said. “There will be a point where we have to pass a resolution to sell bonds and that is a stop point obviously." The committee — which had outlined the project to the board two weeks earlier — has proposed to fund the $1.4 million worth of expansion and improvements through a depreciation fund in its revenues which would make the estimated annual payment of $177,000. That committee, comprised of Richard Dean. Richard Feldpr.usch. Thomas Stebbins. Helen Wenger. CPA Thomas Johnston, and Gordon and Hoare. said it felt the facility could handle the payment itself. Ritter told the commissioners this payment is done through a Medicaid formula which "is very complicated and hard to explain". What is also complicating the issue is a change in Medicaid funding which will be taking place and will require a larger local share, estimated to be nearly triple the current $50,000 yearly subsidy by the county to the facility. Several commissioners want a clearer idea of how this change will affect its financial picture if they approve the project. Ritter noted that the increased local share all-Republican slate, as John Hughes was re­ elected to a second two-year term as Nash­ ville village president with 49 votes. Clerk Susan Corkwell received 53 votes. Treasurer Lois Elliston, 52 votes, and Assessor Justin W. Cooley. 46 voles. Re-elected as trustees were Carl J. Tobias, with 46 votes, and George Frith with 43. Also elected as trustee was newcomer Robert J. Harvey, with 54 votes. All Nashville terms are for two years, and all candidates excep' Harvey were in­ cumbents. Helen Curtis received four write-in votes for president, and there were a number of lesser votes for other write-in candidates for various posts. In Vermontville, incumbent Republican President Bill Mason was defeated* by political newcomer Beverly "Sue" Villanueva, a Democrat who received 75 votes to Mason's 70. Mason has been Vermontville's president since 1980. Longtime village residents say Villanueva may be Vermontville's first woman president. In other contests in Vermontville, voters chose incumbent Democrat Jack Clark. Democrat Joyce Peterson, and Republican Lana Carole Oster to fill three four-year seats on the village council. Knocked out of that race were Betty J. Hartwell and Jeanette Schultz. Clark received 96 votes. Peterson, 95. Oster. 82. Schultz. 46 and Hartwell. 41. Elected to two-year terms on the Ver­ montville Council were Republican Gary Burton with 37 votes, and Democratic in­ cumbent Donald Lewis, Sr., with 113. Donald J. Pugg, who had organized a write-in campaign for a two-year trustee seat, received 26 votes on the GOP slate. ' Diane Casteele, Republican candidate lor clerk, and Kathleen Marsh, incumbent Republican treasurer, were unopposed in those races In Lake Odessa, voters re-elected two successful Oct. 24 millage election. Voters approved a 2.386 mill increase in October, by an 18 vote margin. It was the first millage hike since 1970. Schoessel said he expects the system to operate on the present 28.896 mills for the next three years. "I would like for the community to know that we really appreciate the support.” Schoessel said, "and we'll keep working hard to make sure that the community continues to support the schools." The superintendent credited the successful volunteer efforts of the millage steering committee, Hat had worked for the past several montlis, talking to individuals in an effort to pass the renewal Schoessel said school staff has been un­ dergoing an analysis of the programs and curriculum, looking for ways to make im­ provements. "Hopefully, we'll not just stay as we are now," said Schoessel, "Well continue to work to get better." He said the administration and school board will seek citizen involvement as they plan the future programs in the district and determine priorities. "There are a lot of things we want to do,” said Schoessel. “We're at the period now where we have to start refining our plans." Jacobs said the millage steering com­ mittee will remain active in school publicity, and "keeping the communication lines open" between the community and the schools. "The numbers do illustrate a more positive attitude in this community toward the educational community," said Jacobs. council members, and added a newcomer. No one was opposed. In addition, three incumbents village of­ ficers returned to their uncontested posts. Steve Secor returned to his position as village president, Vera Kauffman as clerk, and Suzanne Johnson as treasurer. Patricia Hickey won another term on the village council, as did incumbent Al Swift. Newcomer Ross Thomas also won a seat. • Three mishaps occur over weekend State and city police reported three minor accidents over the weekend, as tem­ peratures dropped and roads became slip­ pery. Michigan State Police from the Hastings team said a 29-year-old woman sought her own treatment for minor injuries she received early Friday morning when her car left Parmalee Rd. and rolled over. Troopers report that they cited Dawn Marie Westman. Solomon Rd., for violation of the basic speed law. State police responded to an accident Saturday afternoon on Solomon Rd.. 4 mile south of Barnum Rd., when a Middleville man lost control of his vehicle.

Saturday, we'll be giving close inspection to the turnout among Barry County's party followers to get a gauge on the strength of the local party. Over the past decade, the Democrats have been consistently gaining strength in the county and, for the first time, took control of the Barry County Board ot Commissioners in the 1982 election. Much of the increased Democratic strength appears to be the result of people moving into the county in the western tier of townships. The popular vote patterns have been so erratic, though, that it has been hard to gauge the overall strength of the party. Despite the fact that leading Democrats and Republicans alike have publicly downplayed the Democrats control of the county commission, saying that party politics aren’t that important at the county level, the fact remains that the Democrats fielded candidates for every county commissioner's slot and won four of the seven seats, knocking off several incumbents along the way. But, the question-mark arises when you compare the number of votes that dif­ ferent candidates received. While winning control of the county commission, the Democrats collected 7,472 votes county-wide, while tne Republicans, who lost, collected a total of 8,171. Meanwhile, Richard Headlee, the Republican candidate for governor, collected 9,313 votes in the county against James Blanchard with 6,892. Running in 14 of the county’s 16 townships. Republican Robert Bender collected 7,014 votes for state representative against Democrat Robert Edwards’ 6,218 votes. The votes cast for congressmen more closely match the totals cast for county commissioners, but those results are skewed by the fact that each race had an incumbent running for re-election. Democrats Howard Wolpe and Stephen Monsma collected 7,747 votes against 8,091 garnered by Republicans Harold Sawyer and Richard Milliman. Throwing the vote totals into more confusion are the numbers racked up by Democrats Sen. Donald Riegle, Secretary of State Richard Austin and Attorney General Frank Kelly, all incumbents seeking re-election. Austin gathered more votes than anybody in the county, with 9,003. Kelly had 8,281 votes against Republican Brooks Patterson’s 7,705 and Riegle totalled 8,028 against Republican Phillip Ruppe's 7,958. We’ve watched the Democratic totals rise slowly over the last ten years and expect those figures to continue to rise as the county’s population is fueled by the overflow of people from the metropolitan areas. That’s why this Saturday's caucus could be an important gauge of the number of party loyalists and who those loyalists are in the county. We’ll make a gut level guess that if Walter Mondale wins the caucus here, it is an indication that the party in the county still consists primarily of the union people who have contributed heavily to the party machinery in the past. While others may vote Democratic in the elections, they are probably swing-voters who are not likely to be hard workers for the party. If Sen. Gary Hart whis, however, it could (emphasize the could) mean that a new group of Democrats is coming to the forefront of county politics and they may not have the loyalties to old-line Democratic structures here. We’ll also make a guess that if Hart wins, it may foretell a tough battle ahead for State Rep. Robert Bender, R-Middleville, as he faces his first bid for re-election. Bender only won the county by 800 votes the last time around and to win again he’ll have to continue to attract support from people who are as likely to vote Democratic. There is no doubt that the face of politics in Barry County, at least for the coming decade, is dramatically different from the traditions many of us had come to ex­ pect. We may see more competition for other county offices in the future and a healthy debate over the direction of county government. If that occurs, the citizens will be the beneficiaries of the newfound Democratic strength. The Democratic caucuses are open to any self-declared Democrat who Is registered to vote or is 17 and will be registered to vote by the November election. The caucuses will be held on Saturday in the probate courtroom in the Barry County Courts Building on West Court Street, Hastings. Those voters planning to participate Saturday should take with them either a voters registration card, a The curriculum offered to students in kindergarten through 12th grade in the Delton-Kellogg School District will be the subject of intensive study by the faculty in the next four weeks. The goal of the study is to develop a unified curriculum within the district, said Dr. John Sanders. Delton superintendent. Developing a unified curriculum was the number one request of 16 suggested im­ provements proposed recently by the Superintendent's Forum, a group comprised of community and school representatives. The K-12 faculty will begin the curriculum study next Wednesday morning to "draw up grade level objectives and goals providing scope and sequence to the total curriculum,” said Sanders. The study will be divided into seven curriculum areas: language arts (English and foreign language), math, social studies, science, health and physical education — athletics, fine arts — co-curricular (band, debate, drama, etc.), and practical arts (industrial arts, home economics, etc.). Faculty members will be divided into seven groups to study the individual areas. A chairperson will be appointed to serve in each curriculum area and each chairperson also will represent his or her unit on a Curriculum Council which will act as an advisory group to Sanders. The curriculum study meetings will be held from 7:15-9:15 a m. on the four Wed­ nesday mornings from March 21-April 11. The school day will start at 9:30 a.m. on each of those Wednesdays. After the initial four-week study, the Curriculum Council will meet monthly with Sanders. Assistant Supt. Dean McBeth, and the three principals for the rest of this semester and the 1984-85 school year. At Delton's board of education meeting Monday, the board approved an early graduation request from Monique Cichy, a high school junior. She will graduate with this year’s class of seniors instead of with the 1985 class as scheduled. Miss Cichy has completed all the requirements she needs for graduation except attendance for four years. She has been accepted to enter the engineering programs at two colleges, Western Michigan University and Michigan Tech. Principal Gregg Pratt, after consulting with Monique and her parents, recom­ mended the early graduation because he felt it was “in her best educational interests," said Sanders. In approving the request, he noted, that the board Li not endorsing early graduation. The decision was made as an "individual case" in "her best interests." At its next meeting, Sanders said the board plans to discuss graduation requirements and the counseling process in regard to course selection, etc. Continued on page 11 Hastings band concert set for Sunday The Hastings Area Schoo!

For seven years, young St. Patrick herded pigs in the high country of Sleamish, learning both the Irish tongue and the manners and customs of the then sober Irish people. He fled the mountains one day and. after many adventures, reached the continent, where he was successively ordained deacon, priest and bishop. With the authority of Pope Celestine, he returned to Ireland to preach the gospel to the heathen inhabitants. But St Patrick was not without enemies in Ireland. There were those who opposed the introduction of Christianity into the country, chiefly the Druid priests. The Druids were great magicians, and would have overcome the benevolent St. Patrick had it not been for his miraculous and saintly powers. But even a saint can stand so much, and one day St. Patrick had enough oi the Druids’ obstinancy and put a curse on their fertile land, turning it into dreary bogs. Real estate prices plunged and the Druids fled. The greatest of St Patrick's miracles, and perhaps the best known, is his driving the venomous reptiles out of Ireland, and leaving Irish soil thereafter so obnoxious to the serpent race that they immediately die upon touching it In 1831, an Irish gentleman named James Cleland decided to put this legend to the test. He bought several harmless snakes in London, then set them free in his garden at Rath-gael. About a week later, one of the snakes was killed, at Milecross, about three miles from Cleland's garden. The persons who slew the hapless reptile thought it was an eel, but a nearby naturalist examined the curious creature and ascertained it to be a bona fide snake. Ail this would have passed unnoticed ex­ cept that the snake was killed within a short distance of the burial place of St. Patrick. Overnight, rumors, circulated. Surely, the clergy preached, this is a signal of the end of the world, a harbinger of cholera, war. and famine. Old prophesies were whipped up, and sects and parties formerly enemies united against “the beginning of the end”. Poteen, a favorite beverage in Ireland, is said to have derived its name from St. Patrick, and another legend credits him with teaching the Irish how to distill alcohol. This is doubtful, though, for most historians portray the saint as a teetotaler who. «n 445, commanded his disciples to abstain from drink in the daytime, until the bell rang for vespers in the evening. Legend says a man named Colman took the command so seriously he abstained from water while working in the fields, and then, at the sound of the vesper bell, dropped dead — a martyr to thirst. Such a martyr the Irish can well relate to, and the name of Colman, to this day, is frequently cited. In the Gaultie Mountains of Ireland, there are several lakes, including one called Lough Dilveen. Here, it is said, St. Patrick, while banishing thesnakes and toads from Ireland, chained a monster serpent, telling it to remain there until Monday. Of course, St. Patrick never returned to the lake, and now, every Monday morning, goes the legend, the serpent calls out in Irish, 'It is a long Monday, Patrick." That Saint Patrick chained the serpent in Lough Dilveen, and that the serpent calls out to him every Monday morning, is firmly believed by some who live in the neigh­ borhood of the Lough. . .Informa'ion taken from "The Book of Days", published in 1863.

Man pleads guilty to sex assault on youth Forty-one year old Norman Gale Jones of Kalamazoo man pleaded no contest in Barry County Circuit Court Monday to the Aug. 22 sexual assault of a 10-year-old boy in a wooded area in the Barry Game Area. Jones faces up to ten years in prison when he is sentenced April 13. Jones had his personal recognizance bond cancelled last week by Barry Circuit Court Judge Richard Shuster. Jones was arrested August 22 by a Department of Natural Resources officer who reportedly discovered Jones in the act of assaulting the youth near Daggett Lake, in Yankee Springs Township. involvement with a 13-year-old girl. The charge of first-degree criminal sexual conduct is punishable by life in prison. Turnes is currently free on $5,000 bond. David Douglas Sr., Dowling, pleaded guilty to attempted welfare fraud by failure to inform. Douglas pleaded guilty as part of a plea agreement with prosecutors. He told Judge Hudson E. Deming that he illegally collected $159 in ADC payments every two weeks for 11 months, and unlawfully collected food stamps. Sentencing for Douglas is set for March 23. His bond was continued. In other proceedings: A jury acquitted Loy Smith, 69, E. Center Rd., Hastings, on a charge of negligent homocide, after 45 minutes of deliberation March 7. Assistant Prosecutor Dale Crowley maintained that Smith caused the death of a 25-year-old Portage man, William Martin Reynolds, by making an improper left turn. The mishap took place Oct. 17,1983, at the comer of M-66 and Thornapple Lake Rd. Smith was represented by Attorney Richard Shaw of Hastings. David Philip Turnes, 33, Meadow Lane, faces a May 14 trial date on a charge of first degree criminal sexual conduct. The charge stems from Turnes' alleged Two men pleaded guilty to probation violation Friday. They are Chris Beals, formerly of Wayland, and Roger Mills, formerly of Charlotte. Sentencing for both men is set for March 23.

LETTERS to the Editor: Sportswriter taken to task for description To the Editor: I would be curious to know if Steve Vedder had first hand knowledge when he referred to the gyms of Eau Claire, Watervliet, and Cedarville-Les Cheneaux as "dingy”. I know nothing about the first two, but, since my husband 1 and are both graduates of Cedarville-Les Cheneaux, I feel that Mr. Vedder needs correcting. At one time, our teams played in a small gym that may have been a little dingy. About six years ago, a new building was con­ structed housing a gym and athletic facilities. The seating capacity is 800-1000. It is a beautiful facility, particularly for a Class "D" school. P.S. Cedarville-Les Cheneaux was ranked last year and did lose in the first tournament game. They lost to the St. Ignace Saints who were second in the state. Sally A. St. Onge Hastings Write us a letter!

Something is radically wrong and should really be in­ vestigated. ’ Kathy Count Shipmate sought for reunion To the Editor: During WWII, I was one of 376 enlisted men who served on board the USS LOY (DE-160) (APD-56). We began holding biennial reunions in 1972 and continue to seek ship­ mates who remain unlocated. If my memory from 40 years ago is correct, one such unlocaled shipmate. Roger Ernest Johnson, was from the Hastings vicinity. Johnson was a chief gunners mate who was on the LOY from Sept. 12, 1943 to Dec. 4. 1944. If Johnson was. in fact, from the Hastings area, he may have relatives or friends still living there who know whether he is still living and, if so. where he can be reached. An inquiry in your paper is about the only thing left we haven't tried in an effort to locate him. Our next reunion is scheduled for Naples. Fla. in April 1985. Any assistance you might render would be greatly appreciated Robert W. Montague 5116 Ironside Dr. Waterford, Ml 48095 Victor Cimala Bonnie Finton Question President Reagan and Senate Republicans have been pushing strongly for a con­ stitutional amendment lo allow prayer. «poken or otherwise, in public schools. Would you like to see a moment set aside each day in public schools for prayer? Steve Youngs. Hastings: "I strong!' believe that prayer should be an integral part of a child's life, but it should be formed in the church and in a family setting." Dan McIntyre. Delton: “I would like see prayer back in the schools, but not a government prayer To each their own. Il would have lo be a moment of silence to respect each different denomination." Norm Pugh. Hastings: "I'm in favor of prayer in our schools I excercise the freedom to stand up and pray, and I think a child should be given that opportunity, too. The difficult question is how to offer prayer, and I don't know if I'm in favor of a silent prayer, or everybody praying on their own " Rev. Willard Curtis. Hastings. "There's been so much misinterpretation of what the present status is of prayer in public schools The previous position of the supreme court was to eliminate the possibility of the state Tom Butcher June Word prescribing prayer in the schools. As I read P, there never has been a statement in our constitution sayiitg there cannot be prayer in the schools...Anybody can pray anywhere they want, and at anytime they want...This whole debate amounts to a tempest in a teapot, and I don't feel the attention it has been getting is warranted. It’s been more of a political football than a serious attempt at promoting spiritual values." Victor Cimala. Delton: "Yes, maybe it will bring the kids closer to God." Bonnie Finton, Delton: "Yes, they never should have stopped it (prayer in the school). Without the choice, that's a form of Com­ munism." Tom Butcher. Galesburg: “No, I don't believe they should have any prayer in school. They have enough problems in school. There are so many different denominations, there's not enough time in the day for every one of them to have a prayei.” » Ju.ic Ward, Delton: "Absolutely not. I'm not against prayer, but it's a big waste of lime for Congress to be getting into that.” The issue of prayer in public schools ' is out of place in Congress, they have more im­ portant things to do." �The Hastings Banner - Thursday, March 15, 1984, Page 3 County health officials may appeal ruling by Ken Reibel Barry County's health director said his department may appeal a ruling that lets a Wayland man install a septic tank near his home, rather than run a sewer line for a mile across his own property, to a public sewer line. Barry County District Court Judge Gary Holman ruled on March 6 that Al Conklin may install a septic tank on his property, located on the 12,000 block of Chief Noonday Rd., rather than comply with a county health department rule that requires him to hook up to a public line. The county’s health code mandates that a residence hook into a sewer line if the line is within 2c0 feet of the residential property. Both the township ami Gun Lake Area Sewer Authority codes state that the resident must hock up if the public sewer line runs within 200 of the structure from which the sewage emi nates. Health officials turned down Conklin’s request for a septic tank last August, about the same time the Wayland man completed the construction of hit new home. County officials cited him a short while later for installing a septic tank on his property Middleville Lions plan Vegas Nite The Middleville Lions Club is sponsoring a "LuS Vegas Night" with cash prizes on Saturday, March 17, from 7 until 11 p.m. The event will be at the Middle-Villa Inn Proceeds will go to the Middleville Lions Club to benefit the blind and visually handicapped.

The Hastings City Council Monday night approved the purchase of a used asphalt roller, the third major equipment purchase made for the Department of Public Works this year. Since January, council has approved the purchase of a new street sweeper, and a high pressure wash machine-vacuum truck for clearing clogged sewers and storm drains. Council purchased the 1978 model "Rosco Vibrastat III", and a trailer, for $6,250. Gordon Fuhr, chairman of the City Streets and Lighting Committee, noted that a new machine would cost the city $16,000 The money for the purchase will come from the city's equipment fund. Director of Public Works Mike Klovanich said the machine has a special vibrating feature which creates a 12-ton compaction, even though the roller itself weighs two tons. He said the roller will be used for spot work on streets. "If you don't get the proper compaction, the traffic will tear up the asphalt," said Klovanich. He said the machine can also be used on curb and gutter work. and could save the city as much as $50 per ton of asphalt used in contractors' lees. Since January, the city has purchased a "Power Vaclor" lor $48,000. and approved the purchase of a street sweeper, also at a cost of $48,000 In other business: Council approved the purchase of a new patrol car for the Hastings Police Dept., at a cost of $10,235, from Renner Ford Citv Police Chief Mark Steinfon noted that request for bids were sent out to Renner and Frantz Buick -Chevrolet, but that Frantz did not return a bid The 1984 Ford will replace a vehicle that now has in excess of 75.000 miles Council directed City Attorney Richard Shaw to draft a zoning ordinance change, following the March 5 meeting of the Hastings Planning Commission The rezoning includes property zoned D-l Industrial.

South Jeffermh Strbet News Ronnie If your child becomes ill with a life threatening disease, he may be sent to Mott’s Childrens Hospital in Ann Arbor. Because of the kinds of illnesses referred, the stay at Mott Is usually lengthy and cer­ tainly frightening for both the child and his parents. A Ronald Mc­ Donald house provides a low cost place for parents to stay so they can be near their child and provide that child with the love and support he needs. The parents are also helped a great deal by living with others whose children are ill and sharing their experiences. Some parents want to build a Ronald McDonald house in Ann Arbor. Our Hastings' McDonalds, along with some local parents, is raising five thousand dollars for the house.

"I feel that ifighting the health department) was the best way to go The department is trying to have too much authority, way beyond what it should have." Conklin said he doesn't believe he was wrong in installing the septic tank, rather than pay $50 and request a variance on the health code. "I don't feel 1 had broken any laws I would need a holding tank in the ground anyway to pump sewage from if I did have to run tne line," said Conklin. Robert Schafer, director of environmental health for the Barry-Eaton-Ionia Health Depts., said he plans to meet with the county prosecutor next week to decide if the department should appeal the judge's decision. Schafer said the county's health code is meant to supercede other rules, including the state’s health code, which he described as merely a model for local sewer authorities. Schafer quoted Michigan's Public Act 368 which he said enables county health department's to adopt their own regulations: “A local health department may adopt regulations necessary to implement or carry out duties vested by law in the local health \ /' WIN a *10.00 GIFT CERTIFICATE To win, register this coupon at our store SUNDAY ONLY.

Pat Cassell Pat Cassell and her family live in the only bouse on what must be Hastings' shortest and least known street. She and her husband, Dr. Eldon Cassell, moved io their Kelly St. address in 1980, coming from Grand Rapids. They located here when he accepted the pathologist position at Pennock Hospital, she said. The couple have two children: Matthew, 84, and Emily, 7. Pat, who has a nursing background, has been involved as a volunteer in many healthrelated activities here. She has been active with Red Cross, serves on the board for the newly formed Barry Community Hospice and is the co-ordir.ator for the “Focus on Living" program, sponsored by the county­ chapter of the American Cancer Society. The Focus on Living program is geared to help cancer patients and their families make the most of life. Patients and-or family­ members meet every Tuesday of each month in the conference room in the physician s center. There is no charge to participate in the program a *d Pat says new persons are always welcome. Pat also is a member of Pennock Hospital Guild 30 and she's planning to work at its upcoming fashion show. She enjoys volunteering time as a teacher’s aide and school nurse at Nor­ theastern Elementary School. With the school's PTO, she recently served on the carnival committee As a member of the Presbyterian Church, she has taught Bihle School and worked on the mother-daughter banquet, etc. Pat seems to have always had a high in­ terest in learning. She attended college for five years and is currently enrolled in a computer class at Lakewood besides pur­ suing piano lessons Bom near Philadelphia, Penn., where her parents lived for a short time, she lived in Bradford until age six. She attended grade school and junior high in Berea, Ohio. Then her family moved to Midland, Mi where Pat graduated from Midland High School. At Michigan Stale University, Pat had a double major and received two degrees during her five years of study. She received a bachPior of art’s degree in German there in 1971 and the following year earned a bachelor of science degree in nursing. Pat says she originally became interested in studying the German language because of her German heritage, although her parents did not speak German at home. At one point, she says she was very fluent in speaking and translating the language but hasn't used those skills much in recent years. After graduating from MSU, Pat’ went right into public health nursing in Ingham County where she worked from 1972 to 1974. Because it was a diversified job, she found the work very appealing. She was involved in clinic work, communicable disease follow­ up, health promotion and education besides doing home visiting and school nursing. Pat also has taught at Mercy Central School of Nursing which is affiliated with St. Mary's Hospital in Grand Rapids.

Pursuing piano lessons is an activity she started about four years ago. Pat. who had some piano as a child, finds the lessons stimulating and says she loves music. "The lessons have really been a treat," she says. Needlework — especially quilting — is one of the hobbies she enjoys. She plays in a weekly tennis league and likes ice skating and cross country skiing. "I like to be active in summer sports too," she said. Gardening, reading, and antiques are other interests "I like country primitive (antiques)." says Pat, " any type I guess." She enjoys using antiques. Even the rolling pin she uses to roll the dough for her favorite cookie recipe is from another era. And befitting of her German background, Pat says her favorite cookie is authentic German recipe she received from a friend in Germany. She said she always makes the cookies, called Spekulatisse, at Christmas time but notes that they are good to make year-round. "I like them because they are a tasty, mild spice-flavored cookie." said Pat. Another nice thing about the recipe is the flour doesn't have to be sifted nor the dough stirred.

Dean Lawrence Von Tersch of MSU's College of Engineering was the speaker at the afternoon ceremonies for graduate students. The Kentucky rifle was America's first notable contribution to the world of firearms technology and was certainly a product of environmental evolution. Articles too numerous to mention have been written about mis classic weapon and even a non-collector can readily recognize one. Not onh do these rifles represent the apex of the gunsmith's craft, but they epitomize American folkart at its finest. Anyone who has a love for Americana and an eye for the aesthetic is struck with something of a reverential awe when presented with a display of ’Kentuckies". These rifles are as symbolic of American freedom as the eagle itself. No other rifle ever produced is as graceful in line, fatally precise, or totally American The Kentucky rifle was bom in America, but like most of us had European ancestors. Gunsmiths were among those early settlers who emigrated from Germany, Austria, Switzerland, and adjacent borders in the early 18th Century. Many of these persons settled in the frontier Penn­ sylvania community of Lancaster and by about 1725 were practicing their trade. The need for arms is obvious and, as might be expected, these ar­ tisans made them in the style which they knew — the short, heavy-barreled German jaeger rifle. These early Pennsylvania rifles are barely distinguishable from their European counterparts, but by mid-century the longrifle began to evolve. The term "Kentucky” is purely generic and students and collectors generally prefer the term “Penn­ sylvania rifle" or simply “longrifle". The evolution of the longrifle was a product of its environment. Americans had to import powder and lead, and these were expensive. Bores were thus reduced from about .60 or .65 to an average of about .50 for the longrifle. Barrels were also lengthened to let the black powder burn more efficiently and provide a longer sighting plane, hence greater accuracy. Stocks were lightened to compensate for the increased barrel weight. Maple, especially curly maple, replaced walnut as the favorite wood and the sliding wooden cover on the jaeger's patchbox was replaced with a h nged metal lid. Recoil was greatly reduced by the combination of reduced charge and increased barrel weight and the American longrifle had thus evolved. The 100 years of the Kentucky's active life may be divided into three general periods. The period of evolution lasted until the Revolution. The second began during or just following the American Revolution and lasted until about 1820. This was called the Golden Age of the Kentucky rifle, for it was during this period that it reached its finest development. Relief carving, which had been minimal, became more profuse and the use of engraved inlays was increased. The early wooden patchbox covers had given way to brass covers and these became more ornate and engraved. Earlier straight buttplates became more crescent-shaped to fit the shoulder snugly Barrels became longer, usually about 40 to 46 inches, and bores became smaller. The Ken­ tucky became more than a fine, superbly accurate weapon — it became a work of art. The period of decline of the longrifle began about 1820 and continued for another 40 years. During this period, the flint lock of the longrifle was replaced by the percussion lock and relief carving was replaced by incised. Though some excellent rifles were produced, the artistry of earlier days dec'ined. Even to the end, however, the Kentucky remained a superbly ac­ curate and utilitarian rifle. The implication that these were all Pennsylvania products is not intended, for there were some excellent rifles produced outside that region. However, it was here that the longrifle was bom and that most of the best were made. From Lancaster, Pa. and other riflemaking centers, craftsmen traveled to Virginia, the Carolinas. Maryland, and elsewhere, and became established. Quite understandably, these rifles bear the characteristics of the locales where their makers learned their trade. Longrifles were intended as purely sporting rifles, but proved themselves in two wars, also. The British fell their sting at the Battle of Kings Mountain when 900 backwoodsmen thus armed themselves and wiped out a force under Major Patrick Ferguson and turned the tide of war in the South Again at the Battle of New Orleans in the War of 1812, the longrifle proved itself in battle and won the day NOTICE C.

They are (from left) Bill Bourdo. Wayne Bourdo. Norm O'Meara and Norm O'Meara, Sr. Two Delton parents ask: Photo by Mike Hook Will history repeat itself? by Steve Vedder Ah, March, 1964. We remember it well. The cold war was frigid, Lyndon Johnson was four months thrust into the presidency, Illinois' Dick Butkus was fresh from busting heads in the Rose Bowl rather than making Lite Beer commercials, and an outlandish singing group called the Beatles had just debuted on the Ed Sullivan Show. And in a noisy gymnasium in downtown Battle Creek a Delton ’’igh School basketball team was accomplishing something that wouldn't be repeated for another two decade?. An upstart Panther team was clawing its way to a district basketball championship. Last Friday — all but a lifetime later to some — two players from that 1964 team sat in the stands at Hastings High School and watched a strikingly similar Delton team claw and scratch its way ’o their first district title since that day in March of 1964. The two men, Bill Bourdo and Norm O'Meara, had a special interest in Delton's two recent district ballgames. Their sons, Wayne Bourdo and Norm O'Meara, were members of the Panther team. Wayne, a junior guard, has been a sometimes starter while Norm, another junior guard, has seen limited action this season The elder Bourdo and O'Mearas recall the 1964 Delton team as actuary being less talented than the 1965 team, which won a league championship. The 1964 team, coached by Marv Winegar, won 12 of 16 regular season games and were considered longshots to,win the district But the Panthers carved up Eaton Rapids in the first round and later smashed Pennfield 76-58 in the finals. The Delton balloon was finally popped in the regional finals by Holt. 66-61. Incidently, it was Holl that had beaten the Panthers in their other trip to the regional finals in 1952. Holt is not one of the four teams in the 1984 regional tourney in Grand Rapids. “We were like a Cinderella team," recalls Bourdo, who like his son was a sometimes starter on the 1964 team as a junior. "We didn’t get much respect." The similarities between the teams don't stop there, however. “Like this year's team we were real balanced," says Bourdo. “We had four guys who could hit in double figures every game. Our goal was to play team ball, like this team does’’ O'Meara’s function on the 1964 team was to back up star center Gene Nusbaum, who later became Kalamazoo College's all-time scoring leader. Before the 1984 season began. O'Meara told his son this might be the year Delton finally won another district. “I told him since he was on the team, and since I had been on the last district winner, maybe they could do it this year," says O’Meara. “It was quite an honor for us. There’s been a lot of good teams since." He agrees with Bourdo that the 1984 team mirrors the 1964 squad — ir most every facit except height. Everybody played as a team," recalls O’Meara. “There was no outstanding person. It was a team effort. “I remember we had a good bench. If somebody got hurt or was in foul trouble somebody would come in and do a good job." The men both feel this Delton team has at least an outside chance of capturing the school's first ever regional championship. “I’m so excited," admits Bourdo. "More excited really than when I played.” Back in the days of Lyndon Johnson and the Beatles. Senior Hutch Clason has been named as the Hastings wrestling team’s Most Valuable Player. Clason compiled the team’s top record ■29-11) while also receiving his four year letterman award. He led the team in points (146 > and also tied a Hastings school record for most dual wins <15).

Page 7 ..ata glance by Steve Vedder Wrapping up winter sports One man's opinion: Mark Brown won’t be all-time scoring leader Contrary to popular belief. Mark Brown will not become the state's ailtime leading scorer next season. The reason why looks like this: At the close of this season Brown has scored 1,812 points in 55 varsity games. The leading scorer. Jay Smith of Mio AuSable. scored 2.841 points in 98 games in the late 1970s. For Brown to pass Smith then, he'd have to pump in 1.029 points next year The single season scoring record is 952 so Brown would have to shatter that record and it isn’t going to happen. Brown can lake solace in two things, however. No. 1, it took Smith 98 games to set his record. If Brown played in 98 games, which he assuredly won .. he'd have the record. Brown is averaging 32.9 points after 55 varsity games. Smith averaged 29 points per game in his career. The second thing Brown can take solace in is that he'll finish second in the all-time point derby. The state's second all-time point scorer. Fennville's Richie Jordan, scored 2.208 points in the middle 19605. That puts Brown a mere Every minute, Every hour, Everyday 396 markers behind Jordan, who should be passed by Brown sometime next January. March Madness Is there really any better time cf the year? The end of winter is in sight, the softball glove is being oiled up in an­ ticipation of another 90 games, and the most exciting of all high school sports, basketball, is peaking Whoever dreamed up the state tournament deserves all the kudos tossed his (her?) way. Some of the most memorable moments in my journalistic life have come in high school gymnasiums in March. 1 remember gasping at the incredible speed of Flint Central's Eric Turner. I recall Clarkston's Tim McCormick, knees taped to the hilt, battling it out against a tough Saginaw team in the state quarterfinals. I could never forget Olivet's RandyMorrison taxing on Lansing Catholic Central single handedly after his team mates folded in the clutch like a bad poker hand. Recently, would it be possible to ever forget last year's celebrated Mark Brown-Garde Thompson dual at Lansing Eastern? Or how about the memory of Mid­ dleville’s Jim Schipper missing that tree throw in the devastating semi-final loss to eventual state champion Kalamazoo Christian? I remember sitting beside the sports editor of the Midland paper, who was an old friend of the family, and by the time the game was over he was rooting for Middleville too. There’s nothing like March Madness. Period. Hastings wrestlers enjoy fine season The young Hastings wrestling team quietly enjoyed an excellent campaign this winter. With only two seniors on the team, the Saxons compiled 11-5 overall and 4-2 league marks. Hastings surprised many observers with its second place finish in the Twin Valley meet. All that was accomplished with a team built mainly around juniors and sophomores. Four juniors and one sophomore won 20 matches or better for the team with another sophomore winning 19. Coach Dave Furrow should have somewhat of a powerhouse on his hands next year.__________________________ IFYOUR AUTO INSURANCE RATES ARE WAY UP HERE... Puts you in touch. COMING SOON to (Lift) iBank OffkttinHoti'MiandlMlW'in* W«r*«flDIC Final thoughts from last week’s district action The breakdown by area leagues of district winners looks something like this: Twin Valley-one (Sturgis), SMAA-zero, Tri Rivertwo (Cedar Springs and Lowell), KVA-two ■ Delton and Kalamazoo Christian), O-K Blue-one (Hamilton). Such common names as Albion, Mid­ dleville, Hastings, and Greenville are noticeably absent. This is being written prior to Delton’s Thursday regional game with Lowell. The prediction here is that the Panthers will beat Lowell and then lose to Okemos in the finals on Saturday. If Delton does win the regional its quar­ terfinal game will be at Jenison Fieldhouse March 21. Guess which Hastings sportswriter spent his only night off last week in Bellevue watching his old alma mater, Olivet, being thrashed by Kalamazoo Christian. Alas, the Hornets wi’l win the state championship, but at least one spectator went away unim­ pressed with Christian's 6-10 center J.P. Oosterbaan. Shouldn't someone that big dominate Class C basketball? He doesn't. How's this for a Hastings district all­ tourney team: Mark Brown of Hastings. Tim Bredeweg of Wayland, Steve Tuin and Rick Hurdlcbrink of Delton and Chris Quartermaine of Gull Lake. Bredeweg may have been the outstanding player in the tournament His corner jum­ pers absolutely killed Hastings, and when he sat down against Delton with four fouls Wayland was like a fish out of water. Speaking of the Hastings district, officials estimate 3,800 people saw the four games, all of which were decided by five points or less. Hold off. however, on making any rash estimates on huge profits being pocketed by the Hastings athletic department. After expenses, the MUSA A rakes in 80 per cent of the take while the sponsoring school gathers 20.per cent. "There's quite a bit of work involved." says Hastings AD Bill Karpinski of spon­ soring a tournament, "but it’s worthwhile for the community.

Broodwoy, Hostings Barry County’s Democrats will hold their presidential preference caucus Saturday, March 17 at the probate courtroom of the Barry County Courts Building on West Court Street in Hastings. People can vote in the caucuses from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Any self-declared Democrat who is registered to vote, or is 17 and will be registered to vote by the November election, may participate in the caucus. "We have no estimation of what the tur­ nout will be," Robert Edwards, Barry County Democratic chairman, said. "A lot depends on what happens on Super Tuesday. If (former vice-president Walter) Mondale does not do a good enough showing, then we expect people to turn out here to vole." Edwards said that he believes most people in the local area to be leaning more for Sen. Gary Hart or Sen. John Glenn. The chairman explained that those people voting in the caucus will be casting ballots for the actual candidate and not for com­ mitted delegates. The Congressional district committeeswill, in turn, select the delegates from those people who file for the position. Citizens who want to file for delegate positions must file by noon on March 15. For more information on filing as " delegate, contact Edwards' home, 948-8813 or his Peru is focus of final travelogue Tuesday evening Peru is a fascinating and diverse country which lies near the equator on the west coast of South America. Within it borders are “three worlds", the title and theme of this final film of the Hastings Kiwanis Club "World Travel Series" next Tuesday (March 20). . The first distinct one is the "Desert World" which includes the ruins of pre-Inca civilizations, the mysterious Nazca Lines and petroglyphs of Toro Muerte, agriculture in the desert, and the coastal cities of Trujillo, Arequipa and captial city of Lima. Then there is the "Mountain World" of the magnificent Andes range. There you’ll see Cuzco, the colorful Inti Ray mi Festival, the Indian market at Pisac, the altiplano and Lake Titicaca, herds of llama, high altitude farming, and freeze-dried potatoes, Andean style. The third area of Peru to be visited is the "Jungle World”, complete with floating houses, the Amazon jungle, and life in ar. Indian village. Narrating the film about this fascinating land of contrasts is Eldridge Schlottman, a California-based photographer. The show begins at 8 p.m. in the Central School Auditorium. y Benefit set on Saturday The Hope Church of the Brethren will be serving a swiss steak dinner at the church on M-50 on Saturday evening, March 17, from 5 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. It will be a “freewill" offering. The proceeds will go to Steve Senesi who had his left arm severed by a power saw mishap January 11 at his home in Kalamazoo. After several hours of surgery, his arm was reattached. Presently, a strong pulse can be felt and the skin i« warm to the touch. However, he has no feeling in his arm except for a constant throbbing pain near the point where the arm was reat­ tached. It will take one to three months for the nerves to cross the gap where the cut was. It should be six to •nine months before he will have feeling in his fingertips. It is likely that Senesi will never have more than "protective sensation" in the hand. For example, He may be able to feel hot and cold, but not the difference bet­ ween wool and silk. However, there is a remote chance tnat he might be one of the rare cases where both feeling and movement return to near normal. It is very likely that he will have more surgery over,, the next year or more to help restore some ability to grasp ob­ jects. The reattaenment operation made it possible to have an artificial arm and hand that attaches below the elbow if this becomes a necessity. That option wouldn't exist if the arm hand’t been reattached. The cut was too close to the elbow to allow for a below-elbow prosthesis Senesi is an independent carpenter in Kalamazoo He has spent a lot of time contemplating what he will do during and after the healing process. He attends the Skyridge Church of the Brethren in Kalamazoo and has found the support from his friends and community has been incredible. We invite you to enjoy dinner with us at Hope Church and become a part of this healing and renewing process business, Bob’s Grill and Restaurant, at 9459022. Delegates will be selected for both the Third and Fifth District congressional delegations. The north half of the county is in the Fifth District and the south half of the county is in the Third District Those voters planning to participate Saturday should take with them either a voters registration card, a Michigan drivers license or a picture ID with an address on it. Each participant will be given a registration form to complete.

Antique tools now on display at Hastings Public Library A selection of antique woodworking tools by collector LeRoy H. Bradley of Hastings is being shown in the library display case during this week and next. Mr. Bradley will also be talking about old woodworking tools, and exhibiting them, at the Barr? County Historical Society meeting this Thursday, March 15, at 7:30 p.m. The tools being displayed were hand­ crafted in the 18th and 19th centuries by individuals or by companies, which sometimes contracted for the work with prisoners. Either way. each person usually made the whole tool himself, rather than just a single part, assemblyline fashion. Plow planes like those on display had more than 1,000 makers or manufacturers at the height of the demand. Two major kinds of tool are shown, ad­ justable plow planes and bit braces made of wood and of metal. Two books show some fine examples of the kinds of carpenter's braces and plow planes on display. Mr. Bradley's interest in tools has led him to membership in the Early American In­ dustries Association, and its largest offshoot with an international membership, the Midwest Tool Collectors Association. All interested persons are invited to see the display in the Hastings Public Library before March 24. and to attend the historical society meeting in Hastings on March 15. Library hours are Monday through Thursday. 12:30 p.m. to 7 p.m.; Friday 10 a.m. to 5 p.m.; and Saturday 10 to 1.

The school has not previously had an honor roll. —Approved instituting a developmental kindergarten in the elementary school tor the 1984-85 school year. The concept of a developmental kindergarten was recom­ mended by Sanders, Elementary Principal Marilynn Baker and the elementary staff. —Extended the insurance policv for buildings and contents through March 15, 1985 with Hamilton and Deo of Battle Creek. The $20,492 premium reflects a four percent increase due to a loss factor and a four percent hike for valuation increase. —Renewed fleet insurance through March 1. 1985 with the Buckland Insurance Agency of Delton. The premium included a five percent increase over last year's cost Heard a report on the financial plight of the summer recreation program for youngsters It was reported that the local community chest has folded and the program will lose $3,400 in operating funds as a result In the past the primary sources of funding have been contributions from the five townships of Barry. Hope. Johnstown. Prairieville, and Orangeville; and fees from participants in addition to the community chest. The school has always provided leadership and the facilities for summer recreation. Sanders said townships are being asked to increase their contributions to the program to help make up for loss in funding from the com­ munity chest. Increased fees to participants probably will have to be implemented too. A complete report on the status of the summer recreation program will be presented at the board's next meeting.

In his suit, the youth’s father, Roger Cronk, through his attorney, James Fisher of Hastings, charges that Laurie Alan Echtinaw, 29, S. Bedford Rd., and Bel! Telephone are liable for the death of nine-year-old Eric Cronk. Cronk died nine days after lie was struck by Echtinaw's car in front of the boy’s Wellman Rd. home. According to Barry County sheriff deputy reports, Cronk was watching a Woodland contractor, Clayton Swift, install a cable underneath Wellman Rd. Deputies say the youth ran out from behind Swift’s truck, parked at the scene, and into the path of Echtinaw's vehicle. Swift received a citation for “im­ proper parking in the travelled portion of a highway.” No citation was issued against Echtinaw. In the suit, Fisher alleges that Echtinaw was travelling too fast for conditions. The suit also claims that the contractor “did not employ warning devices" at the work site, and that he did not "maintain proper supervision of tiie work area." 1984 ■^^^Devoted to the Interests of Barry County Since 1856 The Hastings Volume 129, No. 12— Hastings, Michigan Banner Thursday, March 22,1984 Gospel group coming March 29 The Blackwood Brothers, in­ ternationally known gospel group, will be in concert Thursday, March 29 at Central Auditorium in Hastings.

The two men acted in tandra during the Sept. 29 armed robbery of the Superette Party Store on N. Michigan Ave., to help police track down and arrest three suspects. Hastings Chief of Police Mark Stcinfort said one of the men followed the robbers out of the store, then alerted a motorist to follow the getaway vehicle. Police arrested two Charlotte men and a Nashville man about ten minutes later. The Nashville man was found guilty of armed robbery and carrying a weapon in the commission of a felony during a bench trial in Barry County Circuit Court last week Tuesday. Twc other men pleaded guilty the day before to lesser charges arising from the in­ cident.

As part of a plea agreement with prosecutors, they will receive sentences of 10 to 15 years each. They will also be sentenced March 26. City police say Franklin and Harmon entered the store and robbed a cashier at gunpoint, while Allen waited outside in a truck.

Deming. It has been a year since Claudia Jcyce Raynes, 33, Noffke Dr., Caledonia, has ap­ peared in Barry County Circuit Court on a charge of child cruelty and neglect. On March 25, 1983, Deming refused to allow a plea of no-contest from Raynes, a decision which was appealed to two higher state courts by both the defense and prosecution. The high courts upheld Deming's decision in each instance. Dale Crowley. Barry County’s assistant prosecutor, said "anything could happen" at Friday’s pre-trial, out he expects that a trial date will be set. At that time, the prosecution will present the evidence it intends to use against Kaynes. Raynes entered a guilty plea at her Feb. 25, 1983 pre-trial, but her plea was rejected by Deming. Under questioning. Raynes's dqpcription of the alleged offense "did not apbly to the court rules governing the of­ feree," according to Deming. Deming's questioning of Raynes was the reason given for the rejection of the woman's March 25 no-contest plea. Deming explained at that time that court rules prevented him from questioning the defendant about the crime when a no-contest plea had been en­ tered. Shortly after that ruling, Barry prosecutors upped the stakes by filing documents asking Deming to add a second charge of “exposing a child with intent to injure.” While the original charge of child neglect and cruelty carries a maximum sentence of four years, the proposed new charge carries a maximum sentence of 10 years in prison. Crowley said he does not know at this time if it will “be necessary" to pursue the ad­ ditional charge. Raynes first came to the attention of law enforcement officials in Nov., 1982, when she brought her then 8-week-old daughter to a Grand Rapids hospital with severe burns. Doctors later amputated the infant’s right foot, a portion of her left nand, and removed part of the child's intestines. Although police suspected the baby was burned by being placed in a microwave oven, the formal charge against Raynes only reads that the woman "did willfully,unlawfully, or negectfiilly deprive said child of necessary food, clothing or shelter; to wit: protection from microwave radiation." According to affidavits, Raynes told in­ vestigators she placed the baby^jn an ironing board near her microwave oven, while using the oven to heat a bottle of formula. Raynes reportedly told police she left the room briefly and returned to find her daugher s skin peeling. by Robert J. Johnston The Hastings Board of Education, Mon­ day, received a proposed policy outlining rates to be charged to organizations using school facilities. The proposed policy will be studied by school board members this month and is expected to be acted on at the board's April meeting. Under the proposal, outside commercial organizations and private groups would be charged up to $100 rental, plus labor and utility costs for use of Central Auditorium or the high school gymnasium. Labor and utility costs would be determined after the group’s activity took place. “I want to emphasize that these are proposals and subject to change," Superintendent Carl A. Schoassel said. Schoessel said that the purpose of the proposal is for the school to be Reimbursed for utility, labor and general expenses for use of its facilities and equip­ ment. thereby preserving the educational budget for the school system’s students. The proposal outlines four groups of users, all charged at different rates. School af­ filiated groups would not be charged for most uses. School related groups and government groups would be charged only labor costs. Community, civic and religious groups would be charged labor and utility costs. Commercial and private groups would be charged rental fees, ranging from $25 to $100 for various facilities, plus labor and utility costs. Utilities will be assessed at $5 per hour, raised for the present $3 per hour. Labor rates would be charged at the schools’ cost, including overtime rates for weekend usage. At the meeting. Dr. James Atkinson ob­ jected to having custodians on hand for all community groups renting facilities, saying that some groups do not need supervision. He said that he has paid $1230 per hour in labor rites when the only need for 3 custodian was io open and close the building. David Storms, director of the YMCA* Youth Council, added that the increase in utility costs, from $3 per hour to $5 per hour, would make it harder to fund weekend youth programs. In other action, the board approved pur­ chase of a new telephone system for the high school and the junior high school­ administration building from Executone Communications Systems. The school will borrow' the $21,644 for the 40-phone system and pay it back over a five year period. Schoessel said that the money budgeted for rental of .he present telephones would be enough to p.iy bark the loan. Robert Miller, director of operational services, said that the new system would have a number of features, providing con­ ference calls, a better intercom and limiting the number of telephones that can make lung distance calls. The present system allows only a single incoming calls. The board also formally approved the appointment of Alice Gergen to a Fifth grade teaching position at Northeastern Elementary School, replacing Ruth Clardy, who retired. Three food services employees were reassigned, Mary White, Mary Newton and Madeline Sawka, because of the resignation of Phyllis Heniser. The board approved a statement of con- Contlnued on page 2 Child dies in Delton home fire A two-year-old Delton girl died early Saturday morning when the house in which she was asleep caught fire. BPH Fire Chief Dick Tolles said Candis Rene Collins, daughter of Joan Collins of Delton and Richard Collins of Holt, died of smoke inhalation after a fire broke out over the furnace room. Tolles said the mother, who was home at the time of the blaze, was not hurt. Tobes said the Larry Crystal residence, 10956 E. Shore Dr., was “totailv involved" when units from the Barry-PrairievUle-Hope Fire Department arrived at 1:30 a m. The fire chief said it took about m hours for his department, assisted by units from Pine ’jke and Hickory Comer., to douse the flames Tolles estimated damage to the structure at $50,000. The fire remains under investigation by the Barry County Sheriff Dept, and the state fire marshall. No report is available from the sheriff department at this time. Paramedics, doctors eye advanced care by Ken Reibel Emergency room physicians and am­ bulance personnel are discussing ways to raise public awareness, and money, to upgrade the Hastings Ambulance Service, and permit EMTs to perform advanced lifesaving techniques. Known as Advanced Cardiac Life Support (ACLS). the upgraded service could save lives by: — Improving communications between ductors based at the hospital emergency room and ambulance paramedics in the field; — Allowing paramedics to administer drugs and perform advanced airway management techniques in the field; — Allowing paramedics to electrically restore a heart beat through a technique known as defibrillation. “It’s no longer 15 minutes down the road that care starts." said Ron Boyer, manager director of the Hastings Ambulance Service. "Under ACLS. emergency room care starts at the scene. We are taking emergency room care to the patient." Boyer said the most important ad­ vancement to come out of ACLS is the ability of paramedics to administer some kinds of drugs at the scene or en route to a hospital. “Under ACLS. we will be able to ad­ minister a pain medication at the accident scene. Right now. that person would have to wait until we reached the hospital." Hastings Ambulance Service received its first upgrading last summer, when it went from a Basic Life Support (BLS) service to Limited Advanced Life Support <LALS). Under BLS, Hastings paramedics were allowed to perform what Boyer calls “the basic essentials": backboarding, splints, childbirthing, cardio-pulmonary resuscitation (CPR). and simple airway management. LALS includes all the basic services, plus: — Esophageal opterator airway, an a.rway management technique during cardiac a -rest that prevents the patient from vomiting, a potentially fatal occurrence, — Esophageal gastric tube airway (EGTA) management, which relieves gastric distension during CPR; — Improved communications with the hospital, in which paramedics relay a message directly to the hospital; — IV therapy, in which paramedics can replace vital body fluids in the field. "We are the eyes, ears and hands of the physician,” said Boyer, “We are not the physicians. We observe, and report back to the doctor in the emergency room what we see. hear, and feel. But the doctor is always in control." Boyer said he and several other Hastings Ambulance Service employees are currently at the paramed'c level, but are unable to perform at that level because the service is only licensed lor LALS. Boyer emphasizes that ACLS is little more than talk at the present, and he is unable to give a cost for the upgrading. Whatever »he cost, the biggest chunk of money would go toward the purchase of a telemetry' station, which would allow a doctor in the emergency room to monitor the heartbeat of a patient who is in the field, or being transported to the hospital. “And even if we got the money tommorow, it would take a year of red tape, committees, and filling out forms before we could go ACLS." sa«d Boyer. Boyer said that not every ambulance run includes ACLS skills, and that the cost of a run varies, depending on which skill level is used. Boyer said ACLS is used more often in rural areas than in cities. Lansing’s Mercy Ambulance Service reportedly uses ACLS on five percent of its runs in the city. However, in the rural areas, the advanced techniques are employed on 34 percent of the service's runs. "People in rural areas generally wait longer to call an ambulance, and there’s a longer response time there too," explained Boyer. Hastings Ambulance Service currently serves a population of about 15,000 people in the city of Hastings, plus the townships of Rutland. Hastings and Carlton. The service pulls about 1,000 runs per year. The concept of state-licensed ambulance services is relatively new to Michigan. Prior to 1972, before the state and federal governments stepped in, just about anyone could start an ambulance service for the price of a station wagon, and often times funeral directors who doubled as ambulance operators. The reason? Funeral directors had vehicles big enough to lie down in. "There was a man who operated a service up north with nothing more than a station wagon. When he got to the scene of an ac­ cident, he laid the patient in the back, and had him route to dropped knew he raise one arm while they were en the hospital. If the patient’s arm during the ride, then the driver had to go faster," said Boyer Continued on page 2 Advonced Cordioc Life Support would require no extra training for most of the employees at Hastings Ambulance Service. From left are Seldon Novotny Ron Bo/er (the services manager-director). Bill Schneider, and Tim O'Conneil. O'Donnell will soon finish his EMT training; all the others are qualified now for ACLS Service. �The Hastings Banner— Thursday, March 22. 1984.

Mrs. Yarger has been employed in the treasurer's office since April of' 1980 when Editorial Charlton Park: In need of financial solutions Charlton Perk’s announced rate increase for patrons of the Historic Village, made last week, brings to light a belief that we've had for years — to be successful over the long term, the park must find a means of primary support other than government subsidies and grants. To give a quick summary, the Parks and Recreatiod Commission has decided to charge separate admissions to the Historic Village-Museum area and to the beach­ recreation area. AdmisJon to the former area is being raised, except for special events, while the rate to the latter area will remain the same. In making that change, the parks commission noted that local residents primarily come to the park to use the beach-recreation area or to attend a special event, while 80 percent of the users of the Historic Village are from outside the county. The park’s revenue figures speak for themselves. In 1978, of a $217,000 budget, $99,771 was provided by federal CETA money, state jobs programs and revenue sharing. In 1980, the figure was $91,9ii of a $237,133 budget — the highest budget ever for the park. At the same lime, the county has been providing subsidies of up to $52,200 (1981). The 1984 budget is a different story. The county appropriation is only $30,000 while outside grants are providing a paltry $600. Further plaguing the park's budget is the drop in revenues from special events. In 1980, four special events generated $48,611. Last year, ten special events pulled in only $32,740. (This con­ trasts with total park attendance that rose from 68,188 in 1981 to 83,255 in 1983.) The 1984 projected budget is only $138,472. Of this, the parks commission hopes to raise more than half — $75,000 — from permits and fees. Director John Patterson says that the ffee revenue estimate is conservative, only $3,000 higher than last year even with the admission increase. The prime result of this steady budget decrease has been staff cutbacks and a decline in the amount of maintenance on the buildings and on the collection of artifacts. While the park boasts the state's second largest artifact collection, it has no curator to oversee its care. Some routine maintenance is simply not done. To counter the budget problems in the short term, the parks commission has approved the new fee structure which will charge visitors separately for admission to the village or the beach-recreation area. Park figures show that while the viHage requires 90 percent of the budget, the beach-recreation area takes in most of the visitors. The logic of the new fee is to generate more income to pay for the viil&ge from the people who actually use the village. Since many of the people who will pay the new fees are visitors from outside of the county, the fees will increase the revenue from the people who use the village but do not live here. Those people, estimated to be almost 9,000 of the park’s visitors last year, had been getting the best deal financially because they were able to pay low rates to visit the village and they were not paying local tax dollars to Firefighters blame hot wires for car fire State police and Hastings firefighters said hot wiring probably caused a fire that burned up a 1977 Mercury in front of the Oracle Restaurant Monday after­ noon. According to state police, the owner of the car. Cindy Benedict, stopped at the restaurant to deliver some handbills, and discovered smoke when she returned to her cor. State Trooper Al McCrumb contained the flames until fire­ fighters arrived. In his report, McCrumb said he noticed "the engine attempting to start by itself," which in turn pumped more gasoline into the burning engine which fed the flames. No injuries were reported. Bell dismissed from negligence suit Bell Telephone has been dismissed from a lawsuit arising from an Oct., 198) fatal car mishap on Enzian Rd. in Orangeville Township. Court documents provided by the Barry County Clerk’s Office reveal that Bell Telephone was named as a defendant in a lawsuit, along with the Barry County Road Commission, a Barry County bar, and the driver of the fatal vehicle. However, the case against Bell Telephone has been dismissed, according to the attorney appointed to defend Bell, and a Bell spokesman. The case was originally brought in Kent County’s 17th Judicial Court, but transferred to Barry County Circuit Court in January at the request of the defendants. Plaintiffs in the case claimed that Bell was negligent is placing a utility pole too close to the side of the road. Two Detroit area men died, and two suffered severe injuries, when their car hit that pole. J. Clarke Nims, of Grand Rapids, attorney support it. We think the Parks and Recreation Commission was right *to increase the fees for the village, especially when the new fees maintain a separate rate for educational groups and other people who visit by group reservation. Some part of the park's function is to provide education and interpretation of history and, like our school systems, it is right for the government to subsidize that type of en­ deavor. But. higher rates and government subsidies are not the solution to long-term LETTERS to the Editor: financial security for the park. We see two areas that need further exploration — how to attract more visitor;, on a regular basis, thus substantiaUy increasing the $75,000 revenue from permits and fees, and how to provide a permanent source of revenue to pay for care of the collection. That revenue source must not be not dependent on the whims of the weather or the political climate. Solving the first problem takes input from people who have been successful in other forms of promotion and entertainment. We’re not suggesting that Charlton Park be made into mini-Disney World, but we do think that some lessons in how people like to be entertained can be learned from those types of parks. The concept of many historical villages and parks throughout the nation is to provide exposure to artifacts and history while entertaining the visitors. , ’ We suggest that Patterson and the parks commission members cdtyact some nearby successful entertainment and historical parks, visit their sites, study their promotional packages, study how they deal with the visitors inside the park and find out how they generate revenue from visitors at the park. We’re sure that Some of this has already been done by park officials, but every contact will produce new ideas for revenue, which is the bottom line for the future. On the other side of the problem, a permanent source of revenue for care of the artifacts, the solutions are more difficult. Some pane officials have suggested that an endowment fund be set up to help cover the cost. The endowment money would be invested and the park would receive the interest money from those investments. Patterson notes that a $1 million endowment invested at 11 percent interest would generate $110,000 per year, more than enough to cover the revenue lost in govern­ ment subsidies in recent years. Even though $1 million is hard to come by and certainly would be difficult to generate locally, the concept is worth investigating. There are enough foundations and major corporations in the surrounding four metropolitan areas to generate that kind of endowment, but it would take a major fundraising effort on the part of the parks commission to accomplish the goal. We agree with the suggestion, already made by some commission members, that a special ad hoc committee be set up to study the possibility of an endowment fund. We suggest that the committee include financial people, local residents who have been connected with major fundraising projects and officials of the local Thornapple Foundation. A carefully drawn plan of action that has the consensus of the ad hoc committee and the parks commission must be drawn before any further steps are taken. The fundraisers must know how much money they need, exactly how it will be spent and who will benefit. Charlton Park has grown into an important asset for Barry County in terms of recreation, education and as a tourist attraction. But its future will forever remain uncertain unless strong steps are taken now to ensure a solid financial base. i Hastings Banner) _____ -/ Send form P.S. 3579 to P.O. Box B (USPS 071-830) 1952 N.

V____________________ _ ____________________________________ - Contract with teachers criticized by reader v To the Editor: Thornapple Kellogg teachers have a contract. They rated no salary increase. If the T-K School Board had any internal for­ titude, they would have held the line. If they struck, fire them. Now is not the time to refire inflation. Somewhere I read this — "Thermometers don’t happen to be the only things that are graduated with degrees without any brains." T-K teachers follow directions of Kent County Education Association. I believe Sparta didn't, so his words are hollow. Isn't it a shame. Want local control, but use any method to push their interests. The National Education Association is the mother of the locals, the NEA has been called “godless, ultra liberal, pushed for world government." (That means man­ datory transfer of industrial nations resources to Third World socialist govern­ ments. ) They try to or are shellshocking our youth with an anti-nuclear scare. The 1960s are back to haunt us, the graduates are teaching the kids today. The Middleville School District levies 48.45 mills against Hastings' 41.10 mills — 7.35 mills more even after Hastings' recent in­ crease. Salaries will eat that up and they will still be putting out more than their share of "Ain't got no" students. To get the millage back to more equal keel, vote "no" on millage renewal. T-K would still be getting more millage by three or so mills. T-K has all their big titles back — assistant superintendent, athletic director, and principals. They can’t teach, and al! of them received big raises under the new contract. It's a shame when the amount of money involved to put the extra hour of learning Write us a letter!

There was no reason to cut. Guess they could still have basket-weaving classes. I feel the T-K School Board President Thatcher is guilty of conflict of interest as his wife is a teacher in system. No difference whether him or her. Maybe Frank Kelley will rule. All the school board should be voted out. Put control back in the hands of people who are committed to fair policies. When did you find anything but a unanimous vote? Wasn’t it refreshing to have Grand Rapids Superintendent of Schools Ferrera go to work on spending cuts? All schools have fat. Check the millage they get. I hope we get to vote to rollback non-voted taxes. There has to be a halt to waste. I'm voting "no” in June. Maybe we can eliminate the counselors. Weller’s column is no sure way to go. Writers may have a title, but "so what". P.S. If Federal spending this year had been to 1980 level, there would have been a surplus of st least $100 billion. That’s what your ultra liberals in Congress have spent. Donald W. Johnson she started as an account clerk. She now is a deputy treasurer. Because of her background and ex­ perience, Mrs. Yarger said she decided to seek election to the post when Mrs. Furrow announced her retirement. "I've been involved with tax collection for JO-years," said Mrs. Yarger. "I like the work and meeting people. I've never had a job I didn't like," she said. A Barry County native, Mrs. Yarger grew up in the Lacey-Dowling area and graduated from Hastings High School. Her husband, Richard, is a former Carlton Township Supervisor. Although she has never sought election to public office before. Mrs. Yarger served as an appointed deputy treasurer in Carlton Township for a few years while she worked in the office of Freeport Elevator. Prior to that, Mrs. Yarger worked in the shipping department at Hastings Manufacturing Co. from 1M6-51. She went back to work in 1976 when she accepted a position at the United Community Bank in Freeport. Mrs. Yarger spent a number of years serving on the former Rogers School board of education before the school was consolidated with the Hastings district.

The meal is $2.50 for adults and $1.25 for children under 12. There is no charge for children under six. Ambulance, cont. Today’s ambulance personnel have minimum training requirements for each level of service: basic life support requires at least 120 hours of training, LALS an ad­ ditional 100 hours, and ACLS an additional 1,000 hours. "It’s no longer the volunteer atmosphere that keeps ambulance services going," said Boyer, “It’s a protessional job. We are not the taxi cab service that transports you to the hospital." PUBLIC OPINION and Elaine Gilbert Are you better off now? Greg Reaser Wes Lewis Dorothy Fiske Ken Weller Deidre Bryans Raymond Krause Editorial discussed To theiEditor: Read with interest your editorial reganing Democratic caucuses. Your assessment seems to "gel” with my own. I would like to add that the 'one man - one vote’ “illogical concept” is also a factor here in Barry, as well as any heavier populated area. The people are not more fairly represented, rather the population centers (the big cities, e|c., or as here, our small cities and lake area) make up the bulk of any given district. Here in the county as you pointed out 17-32 of the vote is Republican and 15-32 is Democrat, yet our county commission is, and will remain as today — until it is reap­ pointed. C. Wendell Strickland Reader looks for paper To the Editor: I have subscribed to The Banner for a good many years; always look forward to receiving the paper every Friday or on Saturday in extreme cases, anyway it is communication I receive and I enjoy it more than ever since 1 am getting older and can't get to Hastings as often as formerly. I have been looking forward to the Barry County Picnic in Florida; must have missed it, as The Banner dated March 1 never came. I waited a whole week tiien assumed it may have got lost in the mail. If it is possible, I would still like to receive that copy of The Banner. There are other features of the paper I hate to miss, too. “What’s Cookin'” by Elaine Gilbert, "Aud’s Antics"... etc. are most interesting. It may be interesting for your readers to know that Lloyd Payne of Grandville, Mich., Class of 1924, Hastings High School, passed away recently. He was owner for many years of the Payne Pharmacy in Grandville. Edna B. Hill 1924 graduate of Hastings High School Cathy Liceago Beulah Cmlth Question In the words of many economic analysts, 1983 was a year of recovery. Production, employment, and sales of most products are up. and inflation is down. Are you better off today, financially, than a year ago? Greg Reaser. Freeport: "Yes. I have a different job, and I'm making twice as much, and the job is 40 miles closer to home.” Reaser said the same is not necessarily true with everybody, though. He adds that he does not give the credit for recovery to Reagan, and he will not support the President in this fall's election. Wes Lewis, Freeport: "Economics are relative. Industry is cautious...We should concern ourselves with the spending policies of the current administration.” Dorothy Fiske. Hastings: “No, not really. I'm a landlord, and I depend on getting good tenants who can pay their rent on time. The times haven't gotten good enough for my tenants to do that.” Ken Weller, Hastings: "Definitely. My income has increased, my outlook for the future is better, and I think 1984 is the year things are going to cut loose. "There’s still a lot of people hurting around here, but they have that glint in their eye that something's going to happen " Cathy Liceago, Delton: "In general, I think (I'm dong) about the same...I have to be able to buy on sale. You have to be a smart shopper to break even. In general, I think it takes more of an effort to break even. ’ don’t understand how the ekleriy make it.” She also said even though there's talk about economic conditions getting better, she believes most people still have to adjust their lifestyles at home to compensate for the pinch on their budgets when they buy a new car, etc. Cathy also stressed that supporting one's own community is bound to help make things get better. Beulah Smith, Delton: “I'm no worse off — I think I’m just about the same. I don’t seem to be gaining much, but I can keep on top of things so there's been no drastic change." Deidre Bryans. Nashville: "I’m better off than a year ago because a year ago my husband and I were both unemployed but it’s still not as good as things were two to three years ago." She explains that both now have jobs but at a lower hourly rate than before. "But I'm more hopeful now...the govern­ ment has the right idea. They’ve got to get the (federal) deficit paid off and maybe if everyone would be willing to take a cut in pay that might help to pay it off.” Raymond Krause, Hastings: "I'm about the same. What the government should do is get the steel mills rolling again and 8ef the foundries back and put everyone back to work. I'm not happy with Reagan (the way he's handling things)." �The Hostings Bonner— Thursdoy, March 22, 19B4 Page 3 Bliss employees win prizes for‘money saving’ ideas Six employees at E.W'.

Judy Hicks Volunteer activities and music are two prime interests for Judy Hicks of Hastings. But above all, “for the most part, my family comes first. That's the way they like it and that's the way I like it," Judy says with a smile. “Their schedules come first" Spring is an especially busy time of year since she's been involved with Pennock Hosp tai Guild 30 which sponsors an annual “Spring Fling" fashion show to raise funds for hospital equipment. Judy serves as president of the guild this year and she's pleased with the efforts members are making to present the April 11 event which will be held at 7:30 p.m. at the Moose Lodge in Hastings. "It (the show) needs many helping hands," she says. Judy has been a member of the guild ever since she and her husband, Dr. Thomas Hicks, and their 11-year-old daughter, Rachel, moved to Hastings in October of 1976. She also has held the office of guild treasurer and has made a number of quilt squares over the years for the quilts the guild makes to raise funds. She's also made several aprons which have been sold at various fashion show events. In total, she estimates that she has logged about 300hours of volunteer service with the guild. Since the fashion show is the guild's primary source of raising funds to help purchase hospital equipment, Judy says she . '‘els the time she spends on guild activities is very worthwhile. "We ask the hospital fora listof needs. The hospital has to depend more on contributions as their costs escalate,” she notes. Prior to moving to Hastings, Judy, a native of Adrian, says she and her family moved nine times in nine years. She lived in Adrian until the age of 10 when her family moved to Howell where she graduated from high school in 1967. Judy was contemplating a career in special education when she attended Western Michigan University for a year. The following summer she and her husband, who also was raised in Howell, were married and Judy became employed as a clerk-typist in the medical abstracts’ office at the Upjohn Co. in Kalamazoo whe. e she worked for two years. A move to Royal Oak was next for the couple while ne attended medical school at Wayne State University. Judy then worked as a claims specialist at Alexander Hamilton Life Insurance in Farmington She spent about one and one-half years there before going to work for insurance and investment counselors in Southfield. She also has a real estate license, although she says she has never worked in that field. After the birth of Rachel, Judy said "it was a pleasant change to stay home and keep house." The Hicks lived on the east side of the state until July of 1975 when they moved to Lan­ sing Then they were in Hastings for six months and after that moved to Birmingham where they Resided for four-months. A decision to come back to Hastings was made when Tom decided to accept a position in the emergency unit at Pennock. Although Judy says she and her family liked living in the eastern part of the state and enjoyed many of the advantages that larger cities have to offer, they love the Hastings area. “We like the lifestyle here which is a little slower and people are generally friendlier,” she said. Judy says her "very favorite relaxation and escape" is playing the piano. She started taking piano lessons as a tot of six and she still continues them today. "When we lived in Lansing, I took lessons (again) and I’ve resumed lessons this year. For the first time ever I really enjoy prac­ ticing...It's a challenge with this teacher. ‘I like all kinds of music...a lot of gospel and I love ragtime and I enjoy classical. I guess I just like a variety,” said Judy. She is the church pianist at the Word of Faith Fellowship where she also has taught Sunday School in the past A former musical activitiy Judy hopes to get back into sometime is serving as an accompanist for junior high school band students who participate in solo and en­ semble contests. She enjoyed accompanying three students a few years ago and "they all went to districts,” she notes. Having a foster daughter (who is the same age as Rachel) in tke Phillipines is a family activity that has been particularly gratifying, says Judy. “It’s been interesting for our family...and a real education.” In addition to providing some financial support for the foster child, they correspond with her on a regular basis.

Frequently the decorating ideas used in stenciling, silk screening in fabrics, stationery, em­ broidery. applique, and in decorating furniture and small objects can be traced directly to faktur. Fraktur-schriften is writing in the Gothic type used in the 16th Century in medieval manuscripts. Fraktur has developed into a rich and decorative folk art with the lettering subordinate to the colorful decor. Tools of the trade were a goose quill, cat's hair brushes and small bottles of paint — blood red, yellow gold, delicate green and a soft blue, all from homemade dyes. Fraktur also refers to the style of decoration even though no writing was used on the article. Essential to the PennsylvaniaGermans, fraktur was used in the keeping of statistics and records of births, marriages, deaths, baptisms, etc. It was usually done by the town clergyman or the local schoolmaster. By the 19th Century, fraktur was practiced by the itinerant fraktur ar­ tists who traveled from village-tovillage to bring their records up to date. These workmen were also skilled in pottery, iron ware, jewelry making, box painting, etc. Their designs were used again and again. Fraktur was so in vogue by 1820 that it was taught to school children until about 1850, when the English school system was set up in Pennsylvania. Fraktur tradition has been carried on in some families for generations and is becoming popular once again. Fraktur not only recorded births, deaths, and confirmations, but there were also prayers, hymnals, book­ plates, valentines, ornamented documents, house blessings, book­ marks, and later small drawings of birds or flowers given as rewards of merit in schools and churches. The certificates were painted in advance and lettered or printed to order or on the spot. Dower chests for brides were often decorated with fraktur. A wedding certificate in fraktur often appeared inside the lid of such cheats. The designs found in this fashion art are: tulips — a religious meaning, the ' three petals refer to the Trinity: mermaid — the dual nature of Christ; unicorn — represents virginity on bride's dower chests; hearts — represent love and marriage; clock — the exact time a child is born (on baptismal certificates); and pomegranate — reminiscent of Persian arL The art of fraktur in America became more robust and vigorous. The early 19th Century fraktur are more in­ teresting to collectors today as American folk art, but masterpieces date from the late 1700s and early 1800s. Mass production after the Civil War put an end to most of the folk art then existing in America, but much has been learned about these early settlers through their folk art which gave ex­ pression to their considerable natural talents. Today, folk art, its collection, and its execution are becoming im­ mensely popular once again.

Blue Cross Members call: National Group GM Employees Federal Employees Medicare All others Pennsylvania-German artisans worked in many media, and their of­ ferings are generous and unique. Many of the itinerate decorators were house painters, sign and coach pain­ ters. They painted woodwork and decorated fireboards, frescoed walls, japanned tin, and stenciled floors. Their primitive tools, rapid work methods, and varied decorative ideas influenced the character of the decorations they developed. Many hooked rugs were produced by Pennsylvania-German housewives. They used short pieces of dyed yarn or cloth pulled through the mesh of the linen or burlap backing, on which the designs were outlined. Thus, there was a variety of color and design such as stars, horses, circles, triangles, dogs, birds, trees and crescents all in a gay. symmetrical pattern in bold colors. Hooked rugs were common in most homes. ThL was not the case with embroiderd rugs, which had to be made of new materials and not scraps. Homespun wool was used and a mix­ ture of colors and subjects was com­ mon. In Pennsylvania-German homes, a jacquard coverlet was used as a spread covering a feather-down comforter. They are so named after the loom on which they wen* woven. Jacquard coverlets were usually reversible with the light background on one side and a dark background on the other. They had floral designs as well as birds, tulips, etc., in the Penn­ sylvania-German tradition. These coverlets could be bought from a journeyman or made to order by him. Often the weaver's name, and oc­ casionally the customer’s, and the date were inscribed on the coverlet. “Show towels" were just as their name implies—to be seen and not often used. Usually made by young girls anticipating marriage, they were made of flax, colorfully embroidered in the flower or bird motif and signed and dated. Cross-stitch was a favorite needle art A fascinating item in interior decorating not yet fully appreciated are the painted window shades popular between 1830-1860. These shades were sold by itinerant peddlers, either ready made in sets or made to order for use in steamboats, shops or undertaking parlors. Floral bouquets, landscapes, borders, Gothic windows, romantic or - oriental scenes were painted in strong colors of Prussian blue, burnt sienna, and in various shades of green or yellow. Shades painted in transparent oil colors were the most popular. The painted sides were toward them, and they had a striking effect from inside when the light shone through them into a room. The shades were painted with quick, bold strokes not Unlike the brush strokes on tin, with the slap-dash vigor and robust execution which charac­ terizes true folk art. Painted window shades may well be a "sleeper" among today's collectibles. A fraktur is a drawing or water color painting done on white paper using brown ink and a goose quill.

Ella Kantner was the guest speaker, and Ella talked about her hobby of genealogy and tracing ancestors. Ella explained how to start making out a family tree She said that the place to start is by talking to the oldest members of your family and noting or recording what they say about their families. Mrs. Kantner added that land records, cemeteries, birth records, death records, census records, old letters and diaries ard old newspapers are good sources of in­ formation. She also said that ship logs can be consulted, if you have any idea of when your family came to North America, although the writing is usually poor and the names are very often misspelled.

March 22. 1984, Page 10 Juniors dominate Banner-Reminder All-County team Steve Tuin Mark Brown Brett McBeth Steve Miller Jeff Hamilton Three Saxons, Panthers named to area cage team . by Steve Vedder If you think there were talented basketball players bounding up and down area high school basketball courts this winter, wait till next year. The talent should be stacked to the rafters in at least four gymnasiums a year from now. The 1983-84 Banner-Reminder Barry County boys basketball team features four juniors,, including three repeaters, on the five-man first team. All will return a year from now and all should be more dominant players than they were this season. However, virtually none need offer any apologies for their play this year. Heading the Banner-Reminder first team arc juniors Mark Brown of Hastings, Jeff Hamilton of Maple Valley, and Delton's Steve Tuin. All three gained mention on the 10-man team last year as sophomores. The two newcomers to the 1983-84 first team are junior Steve Miller of Middleville and Delton’s Brett McBeth, the only senior picked on the first squad. The second team is comprised of five seniors in Dave Perry and Tim Heffner of Middleville, Jay Henry of Delton, Ken Corp of Lakewoood, and Hastings’ Todd Bucher. Spearheading the first team is Brown, everybody’s all-stater a yeai ago and holder of five Twin Valley scoring marks Despite being slowed by a pair of sprained ankles that never fully healed. Brown averaged 36.7 points per game while also leading the Saxons in assists (67), rebounds (136) and steals <71). Brown has now totaled 1,812 points in 55 varsity games dating back to his freshman year Hastings coach Denny O’Mare, howevet, doesn't -use points as the sole yardstick in measuring Brow n's success. O’Mara said he didn't see any letdown in any facit of Brown’s game from a year ago. "1 thought he had a good year considering he played hut t.” said O’Mara. "He led us in everything and you can't do much better than that." Brown was recently named for the second time to the all-Twin Valley team. Un­ doubtedly, he'll also be named to most all­ state teams later this week Like Brown, the success of Delton's Tuin didn't register much of a shock this season. It certainly isn't outlandish to single out Tuin as the county's best rebounder. There’s no A doubt he has the numbers'to back up such a claim. ‘A Tuin notched 130 offensive and 218 defensive boards for a total of 348 and an average of 15.1 per game. His top efforts were 25 carooms against Lowell and 20 at Kalamazoo Hackett. Scoring wasn’t exactly a weak spot in Tuin's arsenal either. He averaged 14.4 points per game while hitting 50 percent from the field. Tuin, along with teammates McBeth and Henry, led Delton to an outstanding 17-6 mark and their first district title in 20 years. McBeth, one of Delton’s captains, led the Panthers in scoring (14.7) and assists (84) and was a significant contributor on the boards (156 rebounds). He also hit 128 of 157 (82 percent) free throws — tops on the all­ county team. Five times he scored 20 points or better in a game including a 20-point effort in the regional loss to Lowell last week. As for Hamilton, when the all-time great Maple Valley guards are mentioned his name will be ranked vith the best of them, says veteran Lion coach Jerry Reese. "At this point in Jeffs career,” says Reese, "he's the best guard that has ever played for Maple Valley." Hamilton, an unselfish player who shows up to play every night, acted as the catalyst for Maple Valley’s SMAA title winning team this winter. He was the county’s second leading scorer (19.5) while his 117 assists led the area and was only eight shy erf the alltime Lion record set back in 1977. Hamilton seemed to play his best against the SMAA's finest. For example, in two losses against runnerup St. Philip, Hamilton tossed in 25 and 27 points. In two games against third place Olivet, Hamilton tallied 37 points. He was recently named to the SMAA all­ league team. The fifth ballplayer named to the first team. Miller, was brought up to the Trojan varsity last year midway through his sophomore season. He proved to be im­ mediate help in Middleville’s bids for an O-K Blue championship and a state title. This year more responsibility was heaped onto Miller's shoulders and he blossomed into the team's leading scorer (14.7 points per garnet while ranking second in rebounding (143) and assists (54). Miller six times scored 20 or more points with a single-game high of 29 against Maple Valley. He was an honorable mention O-K Blue selection this year, the only junior to gain such mention. Heading the second team is Miller’s 6-6 teammate, Dave Perry. Tiie senior center was slowed by injuries much of the year but still averaged 13.8 points and 7.1 rebounds per game. county football team last fall. As Middleville's point guard, Helmer averaged 10 J points 5.4 assists per game. He also had 32 steals and hit 71 percent of his free throws. Heffner, whose high game was 20 points against Maple Valley, was voted by his teammates as Middleville's MVP. All-County Boys BatMtoH Team , sition between the guard and forward positions this season. He led Lakewood in scoring (13.6) and was also among the team leaders in rebounds (5.0), steals (35) and assists (76). He scored 20 or more points three times this winter including a high of 23 against Sparta. He was a unanimous Tri River selection at the close of the year. Hastings’ Bucher earned a spot on this jear's Saxon team after being cut as a junior. Bucher responded by trailing only Brown in scoring <9.2 points per game) and rebounding (5.8). He led the team in field goal percentage (53). His best individual games usually coin­ cided with Hastings wins such as against Coldwater (18 points) and Albion (17). Bucher was recently selected to the Twin Valley’s second unit.

Hastings' Mark Brown heads the recently announced Twin Valley basketball team. The junior guard was named to the all­ league first team for the second straight year. Brown averaged 36.7 points per game while leading the Saxons with 67 assists. 136 rebounds and 71 steals. He hit 50 percent of his field goal attempts and 78 percent of his free throws. The all-Twin Valley first team is dominated by juniors. Besides Brown, Maurice Ware of Albion and Chad Stewart of Sturgis, both juniors, also made the team. Jim Moran of Stu gis and Brent Tompkins of Coldwater round out the team. Named to the second team were Todd Bucher of Hastings, Rusty Gaffney of Hillsdale, Gary Hayes of Marshall, Pat McNamara of Sturgis and Harper Creek’s Bill Broderick of Harper Creek. Bucher, a senior, averaged 9.2 points per game and was second in rebounding with 122. Hastings' Steve Maurer, one of the Saxons’ senior captains, received honorable mention. Maurer notched 107 rebounds and averaged 3.9 points per game. Senior Senior Senior Senior Senior Jay Henry is the third member of Delton’s team to make the all-county squad. The hustling senior forward averaged 12.9 points and 9.3 rebounds per game while hitting 50 percent from the field.

March 22. 1984. Page 11 RTS.. .ata glance S ANNOUNCING: by Steve Vedder CITIZENS BEST Still a ‘Jock’ after all these years there in years they mellow. He’s no ex­ ception. "I was too hard," nods the irrepressible Jock, as he sifts through some battered old football scrapbooks on a recent rainy af­ ternoon. "When I look back now I see I was too tough on the kids. Especially when we weren't winning. “I think you can do just as much without being that tough. When you get older you get smarter, you know?” Few sportswriters ever attended dentistry school, but interviewing Jock Clarey gives one an excellent idea of what pulling teeth must be like. The man certainly has opinions; he just isn't anxious to offer them in pnnt. He still spends an occasional autumn af­ ternoon or evening watching a high school or college football game, but admits he doesn't make it to the games like he used to. Jock admits he's lost track of many of his old coaching cronies. Still, it wouldn't be far from the truth to say the man seems to know everybody who ever coached a football game. Modestly, he says he can’t remember names. “My wife would accuse me of forgetting things," whispers Jock, looking around the living room to see if his wife Kathy heard him. Jock is asked about the best football team? Il’s all in the voice. As the man speaks, the listener is drawn to that deep, scratchy voice that cajoled, lashed, and screamed at many a youngster over three decades. It is the unmistakable voice of a football coach. Still. Even after 30 years. Jock Clarey will always be known as a football coach. One of the best, in fact. This is the man who was elected to the Michigan Football Coaches Hall-of-Fame and who won titles in his second of coaching at both St. Philip and Hastings. He came to Hastings in 1952 and handled the coaching and athletic director dulie; for some 25 years. This is the man who is still simply called ••coach" even after all these years. His days of stomping up and down the sidelines on frigid Friday nights may long be over, but make no mistake. He's still a football coach. In his umpteen years of diagramming plays and nurturing quarterbacks, John "Jock" Clarey was characterized as a nononsense, disciplinarian-type who, like Sparky Andeison today, believed in the "my way or the highway” theory of coaching. But wait. Hai.g onto your chinstrap folks. The man has changed ..and he'll be the first to admit it. Jock says as old coaches begin to get up he ever coached at Hastings. He rattles off three or four teams, then stops abruptly as a thought pops into his mind. "Oh, Gawd," ne moans. "You aren't gonna write that, are you? You can t pick out one great team." No Jock, nobody ever need know you think your best Hastings teams were the 1965 squad which was unbeaten, and the 1960, 1961. and 1952 teams which were also powerhouses. He's asked about the kids and whether they seem to have changed over the years. "Aw. there’s good kids and bad kids,” he answers quickly. "We played the game. We used the best kids we had. We tried to make them realize they were all part of the team. “But Gawd, there's a lot of good kids today." Do you miss the kids? "Oh yeah.” says Jock, who subbed at Lakewood recently. "I miss being a part of the educational process. But it’s a lot dif­ ferent than it used to be." Even though the man is remembered as being a tough coach, the young men who played for him over the seasons have nothing but fond memories.

The switch to electricity from other, more expensive power sources is “on? of the most strik­ ing changes in our pattern of energy use,” says Dr. Alvin M. Weinberg. Electricity today accounts for more than 32 per­ cent of U.S. primary energy, almost double what it was just 15 years ago. "We should push oil out of every sector ofour society except transport, where it’s genuinely needed," he says. "Only then can we truly be self-sufficient in energy.” Dr. Weinberg’s comments on American energy appear in the current issue of Focus: Views on Energy, a magazine published by Consumers Power Company. Dr. Weinberg, often called “the grandfather of nuclear energy,” is director of the Institute for Energy’Analysis. He was director of the Oak Ridge National Labor­ atory for 18 years, and is past president of the American Nuclear Society. Replacing oil-dependent en­ ergy with electricity, says Dr. Weinberg, is a smart move that America is already making. “The price of electricity has gone up, to be sure," he says, "but not nearly as steeply as the price of oil and gas. As a consequence, electricity is pushing into many areas where it hasn’t been used previously. For example, 30 percent of the steel in the United States is being made electrically today. That’s far E.W. Bliss Co. in Hastings has announced several employee promotions and the hiring of a former consultant. Donald L. Helman has been named as manufacturing manager for Bliss in Hastings. Helman's responsibilities have been ex­ panded from materials management and production control to include all manufac­ turing, maintenance, and industrial engineering operations at the local plant. He earned a bachelor of science degree in mechanical engineering at the University of Arizona in 1962. Prior to joining Bliss as materials manager, Helman worked for Eaton in Kenosha, Wise; General Electric in Milwaukee and Phoenix; Hughes Aircraft in Tucson; and was on the corporate staff of Gulf+Western Manufacturing Co. as materials management consultant to all their plants. Helman and his wife, Kathryn, reside in Alto. Robert L. Siadrl has been appointed manager of industrial engineering. He has been a Bliss employee since May of 1959 when he started as a machinist. Stadel has worked as a foreman both in machine shop and assembly area. He was transferred to the manufacturing engineering department and was promoted several times before heading the department as manager-industrial engineering. He has taken evening college courses and received an A.D.I.E. in 1976. Stadel also has participated in seminars on cost estimating, MRP, work measurement, inventory ac­ curacy and capacity planning in order tc better handle the increasing responsibilities he has assumed at Bliss. Dr. Alvin M. Weinberg more than ever before. It’s hap­ pening in the automobile industry, too.” Where will all of this electricity come from? Coal and nuclear power are Dr. Weinberg’s answers. "I think the use of nuclear power is going to expand in a major way during the next gen­ eration," he says. "I’m convinced that the present malaise we’re suffering with respect to nuclear energy will pass and we’ll get back on course again. Soon. "The fact is nuclear energy is both cleaner and safer than most other forms of energy.” Already, he says, nuclear power is “a fantastic success. Just think It’s less than 50 years since fission was discovered and by 1990 it will be producing almost 10 percent of all the energy the worid needs." The o KZCar Wash z Weekend Sat., March 24 & Sun., March 25 The 25' car wash is back this weekend only during our Grand Opening LITTLE BEAR'S BUGGY WASH Stadel is a member of the Society of Engineers and is a certified manufacturing technologist. He and his wife, Carol, live in Woodland. David M. Davisson recently joined the staff of E.W. Bliss Co. as manager of management information services. He previously was involved with computerbased services at Bliss as a consultant with Michigan Consultants in Data Processing. In his new position at Bliss, Davisson is responsible for programming and systems for a computer ope>ation serving Bliss facilities in Hastings and Salem, Ohio. He sees his ultimate responsibility as ensuring that the "computer serves the user.” Davisson worked in consulting for three years before joining Bliss. Hp spent five and one-half years working for Clark Equipment in that company's Battle Creek and Georgetown, Ky. plants. He has been in the data processing field since 1966 and worked full time while at­ tending school full time to earn his degree which he received in 1968.

Johnston For the most part, talking to the business leaders of this community right now is like greeting a group of newly graduated Dale Carnegie students. Their enthusiasm for their work is boundless, the optimism for their firms is exciting, and their willingness to share their stories is encouraging. We never met a business leader, yet, that would share a bad story about his company willingly. But, when virtually everybody is willing to talk, then you have a good sign for the economy. Again this year, it is the small com­ panies that are having the biggest successes. Pro Line Co., which built a new factory in 1982, experienced 100 percent growth in sales, production and employment during 1983 and the coming year is looking just as good. That’s phenomenal. Pro Line’s sister company, Flexfab, Inc. is pumped up on a two year growth period that has resulted in construction of a new building and several additions to its existing plant. Since July of 1982, when the company was in a period of layoffs, employment has risen from 155 to 292. That hardly qualifies as a small company any more. Pushing those employment figures up has been some new product lines purchased from a Southern company and the addition of other products. Hastings Fiber Glass Products has had a similar experience with the purchase of Bodendieck Products of Alabama, which has doubled the product line and will result in a number of new jobs in Hastings. Some significant new contracts for Hastings Reinforced Plashes could lead to new growth for that company, too. Older line companies are also ex­ periencing the benefits of the economic recovery that is underway throughout the nation. Hartings Manufacturing Co., which is moving toward some new mass merchandise products, is at an all-time employment peak and still growing. At Hastings Aluminum Products, paint lines are running 24-hours a day, seven days a week. While the aluminum residential construction industry is still bogged down, company officials said that they have seen some growth and they are expanding their sales network to reach those new growth areas. Certainly one of the most exciting developments for the local economy has been the purchase of E.W. Bliss Co. by a group of investors and company managers. The firm's employees have a new spirit of optimism that rivals the sprit of the mid-1960s before the com­ pany was purchased by Gulf and Western. With investments in new equipment and in research and development, the company’s new owners and managers hope to revitalize what was once the world's leading manufacturer of presses. Hastings Mutual Insurance Co. is heading into its 100th year in business with special promotions that will create new visibility for the company. Business for the company has continued to grow since the construction of a new addition that doubled its office space in 1982. At Viking Corporation, progress is being made in capturing a dependable share of the sprinkler market through investments in research and develop­ ment and business for the Tyden Seal Division has been growing steadily with the economy. At our home base, J-Ad Graphics, we’ve been able to join in the economic recovery through development of our publications and through our orinting operations. We’ve expanded both our commercial printing department and our newspaper printing department to accomodate an increased demand for our services. One of the things we did in preparing the Business and Industry Review was to make a list of all of the retail firms that are new businesses, have new owners or have undertaken major expansion­ remodelling projects in the past year. Even though we chronicle such activities on a week-to-week basis, we were sur­ prised by the number of changes that have taken place. The handwritten list, covering two sides of a sheet of typing paper, listed 15 new retail businesses, eight new owners and 12 expansion­ remodeling projects. Included among them, of course, was the multi-million dollar Fishers Big Wheel store, which will substantially alter the local retail scene. This section is a pleasure for us to bring to you. So often the news we report is, unfortunately, tragedies that involve people we know — automobile accidents, fires, burglaries, deaths and arrests. These 44 pages contain none of that. Instead, this section contains full reports on the area industries, features on some women in industry, talks with long-time retail clerks, the perspective of a worker near retirement and the viewpoint from union officials. Plus, we look at finance, restaurants, insurance, the schools, overall economic growth and more. The mood of this section is upbeat because the pace of the economy is up. We’re not hiding the negative. When the news requires it, we print the negative with the positive. But right now, the local economy looks good and is getting better. In the words of Dale Carnegie, we’ll accentuate the positive. Available Only At. . .

Machines that only recently stood silent are being put back into use. The humming machinery in the shop is symbolic of an up­ swing in the sales of products manufactured at Bliss, a company making tracks on the road to recovery A combination of new ownership and reorganized management coupled with an upsurge in the general economy and a more positive attitude in the work force arc being credited as key reasons for the recent strides in sales at Bliss, said Jan Mullett. manager of per­ sonnel administration. •‘We’ve doubled our market share of a year ago.she said. ••Sales are too-percent better this month than last year’s sales figures — we’re double what we used to be. Each month sales have shown a progressive in­ crease over the past month’s sales...we're even developing a back log and that’s a nice feeling.” Mullett continued. She attributes some of the business rebound at Bliss to a finance plan offered to customers that she says is one of the best in the metal stamping industry. The company is being more aggressive in going after business and is ex­ panding its marketing. “We are now going to tool shows," said Mullett.

Bliss has two presses, a C-60 and C-45 OBT. on display al that event which is a regional trade show sponsored by the Society of Mechanical Engineers. “A new standard of ex­ cellence” is the nucleus behind the changes that are taking place al Bliss since it has become a privately-held company, said Mullett. A group of investors and some members of management purchased Bliss last November from Gulf and Western. Besides the Hastings facility, Bliss has a plant in Salem, Ohio where the company's headquarters are located. The Hastings-based Bliss is one of the world’s foremost manufacturers of metal stamping presses and specializes in producing equipment for can making and the minting of coins. In its heyday the plant employed about 1,000. In recent years, that number has dwindled substantially, but employment is now experiencing a slight up­ swing. The company probably never will be able to rehire everyone who has been laid off over the years, but Mullet says it's a good feeling to be able to begin recalling some of them. Employees who are In­ volved in direct labor “are about one-half again what it (the number) was at the beginning of 1984" with the direct labor force growing from 57 at the first of the year to 95 at the present time. Total employment at Bliss in Hastings stands at about 230. Projecting the company’s new image of pride in a literal sense is the new ap­ parel being wom by the plant's foreman and technicians. They are now easily recognizable in matching dark blue jackets emblazoned with a large "Bliss" logo on the back. The new jacket uniforms not only function as serviceable garments to protect their clothing but project the company's new image, said Mullett. The presses manufactured at Bliss even have a new color image. Unless a costumer specifies a special color, all presses are now being painted in a royal blue semi-gloss called Livonia Blue, replacing the old standard vista green color. “We made the paint change to distinguish us from the old - x V* image, she said. Those are just two small examples of some of the many changes that are adding up to make a big difference at Bliss. The new standard of ex­ cellence to which Mullett refers when she speaks of optimism basically involves “changes in the way we operate." One of the biggest changes is a research and develop­ ment program that has now been launched for Bliss. Such a program has been long overdue for the com­ pany's well-being, said Mullett.

Hastings has concentrated on making the quality of its products the highest in the industry. This commitment to quality, whether it be on piston rings, automotive filters, Casite additives, mechanics' tools, or fuel pumps, has made Hastings Manufacturing Company a leader and has resulted in significant gains in market share over the past several years. The company's engineering leadership and new product developments have led companies such as General Motors, American Motors, Mack Trucks, Harley Davidson, and Ingersoll Rand, to rely on Hastings for their ever changing needs. The development of the Mini-Flex-Vent oil ring which increases horsepower and fuel economy while at the same time affording excellent oil control, and the introduc­ tion of Poly II Densite, the entirely new filtering media, are examples of Hastings' continuing success in engineering excellence and new product development. New account activity and substantial increases in sales by existing accounts have required adding a second shift on many manufacturing operations. The outlook for 1984 is positive for all aspects of the company's business, including original equip­ ment, replacement and the Consumer Products Division. The Hastings Manufacturing Company is extremely proud to be a member of the Barry County community.

Red is the identifying color of the Bodendieck Co., a supplier of maintenance and safety equipment for the electrical utility business. The Bodendieck line of hotsticks, grounding clamps, supporting apparatus and other devices peculiar to the power industry is colored red. But as of October. 1983, the Bodendieck Co., formerly of Alabama, is part of the Hastings Fiber Glass Co. That's when Baum bought the company, thereby doubling his own company's product line. And nuw the Fiber Glass plant, located on Cook Rd. just off Green St., is filled with the company's familiar yellow lire of products, and the red Bodendieck tools. Bodendieck, formerly affiliated with the Square D Co. of Detroit, has reported annual sales of $15 million, said Baum, and he predicts the combined company sales to increase 20 to 30 percent in 1984. Baum said he plans to “refine and re-engineer” the Bodendieck line, and greatly increase sales of Bodendieck equipment. Baum said the added product line will also create between 25 and 40 jobs here; the company now employs about 60 people. The extra business will also create extra employment in the Kalamazoo area, where a foundry will be kept extra busy producing castings. “By July we'll have the company running as smoothly as our own operation," said Baum. Baum also anticipates an enlarged sales territory, and has prepared by building three extra fiberglass-body mobile display units, which he said will remain on the road year-round. Each unit carries in it the company’s complete line of products, for showing to utilities coast to coast as a sales aid. Baum said each display trailer is booked six-months in ad­ vance. Most everything that Fiber Glass has made in the company’s 24 years is produced for the electrical and communications in­ dustries. “In our business, we have to go from product inception to marketing all by ourselves," says Baum. He says utilities often have their own specifications and “What might be allowed for one utility may not be for another.’’ Hastings * iber Glass Products was bom in 1959, when Earl L. McMullin fabricated the “hot stick", a telescoping fiberglass pole used by utility companies for line maintenance. The product line has since ex­ panded to hundreds of dif­ ferent fixed length and telescoping poles. The story of the company actually dates back prior to World War II, when Mc­ Mullin worked in the enginering and tooling department of Consolidated Vultee Aircraft Corp. At the time. Consolidated Vultee was working on development of air f’ame components from what was then a new and exotic, strong and iightweignt material made from fiberglass, im­ pregnated with plastic resin. After World War II, Mc­ Mullin became associated with the National Research and Development Corp., where he was actively in­ volved in the development of tooling and production of the first commercially produced tubular fiberglass fishing rods to be produced in the industry. In 1950, McMullin came to Hastings to develop tooling and set up production of fishing rods for Orchard Industries of Romeo, Mich. Orchard eventually moved to Hastings, where McMullin served as chief engineer until he left the company in 1959, to start Hastings Fiber Glass Products, con­ centrating his efforts on the production of items for use in the electric power and communication industries. The company was started with just five employees, including Larry Baum Today, Hastings Fiber Glass is recognized as a major supplier of fiberglass Hastings Savings & Loan Association.. PROMOTING THRIFT and HOME OWNERSHIP SINCE 1924 The year 1983 wai as good as we predated that it would be for the Hastings Savings & loan Association. We hod a 4% growth in both assets and savings. Assets at year end were $32,129,992.00, a gain of $1,253,979.00. We paid interest of $2,398,067.00 to our savings customers. Interest rates on mortgages held steady throughout the year. The association closed 85 loans totaling $2,305,895.00. John Sawko, field sales manager, displays an “isolation platform" which permits utility linemen to work on lines without using a lift bucket. The platform attaches directly to a utility pole. reinforced poles and tools to the electric power industry. Although the company is the youngest of those supplying such products, it has gained a prominent place in the market by specializing in hot line maintenance equip­ ment, which enable the utility to work on a power line without cutting off service to its customers. Baum says the company has fared well in recent times because of Its com­ mitment to servicing what it sells, and promoting new product lines. A full-time product development engineer works constantly to expand the company's line, working closely with sales personnel to learn the needs of its customers, then developing the tool to meet those needs. It is a time-consuming process. Baum says it takes a average of two years between product conception and market. Because all Fiber Glass products are safety tested, it usually takes a whole year for the product to pass the approval of the customer's own inspectors. Before the product goes out, it undergoes the com­ pany's own rigorous testing. Everything is tested 100 Larry Baum, president of Hastings Fiber Glass Products, says the company's catalogue will double in size in the coming year due to the acquisition of the Bodendieck Co. percent, explains Baum, for electrical conductivity — 100,000 volts per foot for five minutes, to guarantee its safe use on high voltage electrical lines. 1984 looks like it will continue the same steady economic growth. Even though this is an election year, it appears that interest rates will hold fairly steady and will not vary up or down more than 1 %. If the Congress and President Reagan make an honest effort to reduce the budget deficit, interest rates will decline. The Hastings Savings & Loan Association is still committed to provide financing for the purchase of residential properties in Hastings and Barry County at a reasonable and competitive cost.

The JEDC convened in 1983 to begin a goal setting process. Under the direction of the Office of Industrial Training, a division of the Michigan Dept, of Labor, the commission intiated in­ terviews with 33 community leaders, representing a cross-section of the area — industrial personnel, retirees, educators, and merchants. According to Joan Foster, director of the Hastings Area Chamber of Commerce, the results of the "Barry County Economic Leadership Survey" reinforced early studies of perceptions on economic development problems. The JEDC hired Foster in 1983 to coordinate the efforts of the com­ mission. Faster said the survey revealed that business at­ titudes focus on "a desire to maintain the present smaller community values and related quality-of-life, an awareness of a poor state and local business climate, a cautioned approach to new development, and a sense of lack of coordination for any economic development. "Retention is actually the main goal of the JEDC," said Foster, "We get off the track a lot because there’s so much need out there." She said there are many reasons for the community’s cited "cautious approach to new development." "That attitude is still here, and we picked up on it a lot in our interviews. A lot of it has to do with quality of life,” said Foster. However Foster said it is not unusual for small communities to focus on industry retention and ex­ pansion. "It makes sense to do it that way.” Foster said the JEDC is still learning how to best communicate with in­ dustries, and that it may be "premature” to start going after new industry right now. "We’re all learning together...maybe someday we will target some in­ dustries. We need to do our homework first, though," she said. "We have a lot of work to do here with our own industry before we expand into other areas.” Activities under the commission's "Industry Retention Program" include the following: — Obtain information on like activities in other communities — Develop a list of local industries — Provide coordination and staffing via the Hastings Area Chamber of Commerce — Formalize a budget to carry out »he progam — Deve.op a survey questionnaire, a survey team, and a survey process — Inform local elected officials and business and industry leaden. To develop the Retention Program, the JEDC established and conducted an industrial survey. A team of civic leaders was brought together and trained This team conducted 34 in-depth interviews with chief executive officers of area industries and businesses. The survey elicited specific needs and problems facing the business com­ munity as well as noting general attitudes on the local state economic climate and governmental attitudes towards business. A need for local government respon­ siveness in attitude, programs and information was cited Among the recom­ mendations of the Industrial Survey were the following: —' JEDC to continue to coordinate industry reten­ tion and economic development efforts — Improve staff capacity to assist coordination through training — Develop communication via newsletter program — Create an “Industry Opportunity Expansion Program" — Develop awareness via press release: "Business is Busy in Barry” — Institute an "Industry Appreciation Program” — Involve local govern­ ments via meetings and an annual program, which includes a JEDC budget and report. — Establish a continuing presence for the JEDC as a "clearing house” on economic development. Booth JirmsoH Street NEWS Though progress has been slow, the JEDC has made a number of steps toward improving the area's economy. In November, the commission sponsored a "Business Financing Op­ tions Meeting” for county business leaders. A panel comprised of represen­ tatives from key government agencies, local banks and businesses, and law firms presented information on financing aids and options available for various commercial ventures. Contact was also made this past year with the Gover­ nor’s Cabinet on Jobs and Economic Development, resulting in a meeting of chief executive officers of local businesses with Pete Plastrik of the Governor's Council for a “frank ex­ change of concerns" about the state economic problems and possible solutions, said Joan Foster, who coordinates the efforts of the Joint Economic Development Commission, said job and industry retention is the main goal of the JEDC. "We have a lot of work to do here with our own industry before we expand into other areas, "Foster said. Foster. Foster said that 1983 was a "significant year" for JEDC activities — goals and programs were set, struc­ ture was defined by budget and staffing, and an industry retention program was established. In addition, said Foster, a genuine "outreach to the business community” was begun, and a presence of the JEDC and' staff as a clearinghouse coordinator for economic development, in partnership with the private sector, was recognized. "In 1984, the JEDC will build upon these beginnings to forge that cooperation for economic development and business retention in Hastings and Barry Coun­ ty," said Foster. SOQjCsrfc The Street...

That business he speaks of is mainly the designing, manufacturing and in­ stallation of 'air pollution control' systems, systems that remove pollutants from contaminated air before the air is exhausted from a manufacturing or processing facility. The heart of a system is the 'scrubber' which washes the contaminated air with a specially formulated liquid. This washing action removes both chemical vapors and suspended particles. The air then flow’s through a mist eliminator to remove any remaining scrubbing liquid from the air stream. The system also includes associated equipment needed to capture the air and move it into the scrubber. Bill Lake (left) and Steve Robinson, both from Hastings and longtime employees with Reinforced Plastics, were given key promotions this past year. Lake has been named as production foreman and Robinson has been named as produc­ tion supervisor. They're shown here looking over a log book beside another important addition to the company - its new filament winding machine. Com­ puter controlled and needing only one operator, the new machine automatically winds fiberglass on both pipes and duct work which the company manufactures. In addition to that pollution control equipment, the 20year-old firm designs and huilds tanks, pipelines, duct work and other specialized equipment to handle corrosive liquids and gases. The firm's customers include steel. paper, chemical and aluminum manufacturers, as well as others. The reasons for the current upswing — one which Kensington said began about six months ago — are interwoven, but basically involve a more pollution­ conscious industrial com­ munity and being at the right place al the right time. One important con­ tributing factor to the up­ swing has been cutbacks made by many American steel companies in their large engineering and maintenance staffs due to declining sales and profits, personnel which previously designed and kept up those companies waste removal and pollution control systems. Reinforced Plastics has been a beneficiary of that trend. Having served as a sub­ contractor for most of the major steel companies, the Hastings company was in a position to nil the vaccum. “We already have the working knowledge of how a steel mill works, plus ex­ perience in making equip­ ment that a modern steelmaking facility requires.” Kensington ex­ plained. "Major steel manufac­ turers have had excellent results with the equipment we supplied over the past 15 to 20 years," he added. "The only difference now is that they are asking us to design and install the new equip­ ment In the past we just made it to the specifications prepared by steel company engineers.” In addition to these ex­ panded design and in­ stallation responsibilities from such customers as U.S. Steel. Inland Steel. Republic. Bethlehum and so on. Reinforced Plastics is getting increased calls from them for repair and main­ tenance work. So much so that it recently put fullyequipped vans on the road, staffed with trained per­ sonnel. to sen-ice customers in a 400-mile radius area. While the steel companies have accounted for much of this business. Reinforced Plastics is also finding itself fulfilling similar type needs for customers, old and new. in other industries. "While the end product is different," said Kensington, "all of these other industries have similar needs for the safe handling of extremely dangerous by-products and for meeting pollution control standards." "This (installing and maintaining systems in place of cutback staffs) is a niche that we've been able to fill for our customers," added William Burghdoff. sales manager at the Hastings plant. Another trend that's ac­ counting for a business upswing is the move by many smaller companies to install their own pollution control and waste removal systems. "There's' been a resurgence in our business, particularly with the chemical plants around Muskegon.' Kensington said. "A lot of these plants are installing processors to clean up their chemical waste by-products, waste which in the past they had removed by a contractor who dumped it for them. Now they're building their own systems and handling the problem internally." Burghdoff added that "there’s been a change in attitude". "Each company under the law is responsible for its own waste and is also responsible for the contractor if he messes up," Burghdoff explained. “Rather than assign this responsibility to someone else and run the risk of a foul up, they’re taking care of it them­ selves.” Tough standards by Michigan about dumping these by-products and in­ creasingly tougher stan­ dards by surrounding states have resulted in this trend. Kensington and Burghoff explained. A third reason for the upswing is the decision by Reinforced Plastics management headed by owner Ken Kensington — to concentrate on a regional market. While the company has done business in all 50 states and several foreign coun­ tries and will continue to do so. there is currently an emphasis on tapping the northern Midwestern region of the country. "Ken. Bill (Burghdoff) and our other marketing people have studied this," Kensington said, “and have found that the western Pennsylvania, Ohio, In­ diana, Illinois, Iowa, Wisconsin and Michigan area is a good one for us. That’s not to say we’ll hurt ourselves elsewhere, but they found within this 400mile radius that we can be more competitive." He added that this was an important consideration for putting the field service vans into operation. Burghdoff added, "This is an area where we can react to more promptly. We knou­ those customers better and have more to offer them in the way of full-line service. "Also,” he said, “we see a little more regional reliance on the part of those manufacturers that we serve. They seem to want to use local suppliers if they can and if the suppliers are competitive. We see a tremendous growth potential here and our next step is to develop this more.” Asked if Reinforced Plastics underlying thrust, along with improving its business, was to become more of a full-line service vendor. Kensington replied "Absolutely". "We're not just taking someone's drawing and doing the work anymore,” he elaborated. “We're fabricating the equipment on our own, installing it on a turn-key basis and later on coming back in to maintain the system or update it “We’ve paid our dues.” he added. “Not only can we install a system or equip­ ment according to what a customer wants, we have had to design our own systems and can offer them. We're in a position now to put some of the expertise we’ve gained in the past 20 yeais to use." Frank Huss was recently named as foreman of Reinforced Plastics' Field Service Dept. The blue van is fully equipped and staffed by trained personnel to handle maintenance needs within a 400-mile radius for the company's current and future customers. The van is port of a thrust by the Hastings firm to widen its regional market. �The Hastings Banner Business & Industry Review '84 — Pogo 11 mm® means At Viking Corporation, we're in the business of protecting pro­ ducts and buildings and that means protecting you.

Two years ago, we employed 155 people. Today, we’ve got 292 people on board. A new 16,500 sq. ft. manufacturing plant has been added for our sewing line. By taking the sewing line out of our main plant and adding another 6,000 sq. ft., we are able to go through a major redesign of our factory and office. The expansion of our plant and improvements in the general business climate have already allowed the addition of 25 to 50 employees and more growth is expected as the economy im­ proves for our customers. A new jet starter operation, begun in 1983, and the purchase of the Variforms™product line, which we are now manufacturing in Hastings, have both helped to expand our customer base as we predicted they would. Recent changes in management have also been taken to im­ prove our operation. All of this means that FLEXFAB is a company on the move.

Poge 13 �The Hoslingi Bonner Business & Industry Review 84 — Poge 14 1984 Business A Industry Review________ Marketing strategy altered at Hastings Manufacturing Spurred on by its com­ petitors' success in mass marketing. Hastings Manufacturing Co. has altered its marketing strategy by lowering the prices, but not the quality, of its filters. •It’s a different marketing strategy." explained Joe Bennett, company secretary and director. "The manufacture of fillers has moved over the past four years to mass mer­ chandising. due to the economy...People are putting on their own filters, changing their own oil." Bennett said the company had been reluctant to go to mass merchandising out of deference to the distribution system, where everybody shared in the profit margin of a filler. "Fora long time, we didn’t progress to changing the marketing system. But in the past two years, we put an emphasis on how the market was moving. Bui we still haven't caught up with our competitors.” said Bennelt. “Most people don’t know what is inside of a filler, they don't question the quality of weal’s inside.” said Bennett. He said there are two Poly II filters are ready to roll off the assembly line at Hostings Manuracruring Co. The firm replaced densite. a cotton-based medium, with the pre-formed Poly II filters as a cost saving move last year. Joe Bennett. Hastings Manufacturings company secretary and a director, stands by a Henry and Wright press, used tor stamping filter bottoms. The mac­ hine has been reconditioned and was added to the plant this year to increase manufacturing capacity. Friendly-CourteousExperienced Service to ALL Customers... things that hurt the com­ pany’s filter operation: Quality was too high for the mass market, and labor rates were not as competitive. •increased quality of a filter does not lend itself to mass merchanding," said Bennett. "So we asked ourselves, how do you get the price down? Most manufacturers go with cheaper quality, and most are in a state other than Michigan. They are paying less for labor...We have elected not to lessen quality." As part of the new strategy, said Bennett, the company is building a new assembly plant in Yankton, N.D. He said the company will continue to manufacture brand filters, and ship parts to Yankton. "There are things we do very efficiently in Hastings," said Bennett, “And there are some things you can’t do automatically. The manufacture of a filter is a very labor intensive operation." Because parts will con­ tinue to be manufactured here, the employment outlook is good for the up­ coming year, said Bennett. He said the new marketing strategy should cause an increase in production. In fact. employment at Hastings Manufacturing is currently at an all-time high. "We will try to perform the labor intensive operations, the hand fed ones, somewhere else. “People who use high quality filters are quality conscious. Higher quality means lower future costs, lower quality means higher future costs. "If mass merchandising goes well for us. it will in­ crease the number of parts made in Hastings and shipped to Yankton. We do it well, economically, fest. The highest expense is shipping the parts to N. Dakota," explained Bennett. Another major im­ provement at Hastings Manufacturing, and one in line with the company’s goal of keeping prices down, is the introduction of Poly II into its oil filters. Poly II is a solid, pre­ formed filter, and replaces Densite, a cotton-like sub­ stance which was blown into filters, and introduced in 1950. By using Poly II, the company eliminates an inner can on the filter assembly, and that saves time, material and money. Now in its 69th year, Hastings Manufacturing Company produces piston rings, filters of all types, lubricants and additives to keep the world's egines running. With annual sales of about $50 million, the company does well because it manufactures mainly for the "after market". However, the company has been increasing its contracts with the auto makers, and has netted several original equipment manufacturing jobs recently. Hastings Manufacturing has always been a major asset to Barry County In 1982, the company paid out $14 million in wages and salaries, with most going to county residents. In ad­ dition, much cf the firm's 500,000-plus shares of stock outstanding are owned by area residents. Company officers and directors are Stephen I. Johnson, president and director; Neil A.

MICHIGAN 49058 ItlQ-POu A RESPECTED NAME GETS EVEN BETTER i Hastings Fiber Glass Products has developed a respected name in the electric power industry with its high quality line of tools for "live line" maintenance. In 1983, after 24 years of exclusively developing our own products, we moved aggres­ sively ahead by purchasing another respected firm in our industry — Bodendieck Tool Co. of Bir­ mingham, Alabama. That name may not mean much to others outside of our business, but our customers know its importance. In plain terms, we think this acquisition will be good for us and the community. We moved Boden- dieck's production facilities into our Hastings plant. Our product catalogue will double and we anticipate a sales increase of 20% to 30% in 1984. Translation: Jobs for Hastings.

Officials of the 99-year-old firm — including Franklin Rothfuss, president; Charles Johnston, executive vice president and treasurer; Duane O’Connor, secretary and general counsel; Duane Bower, vice president and head of personnel; and Gary Gahan, vice president and head of information resources — head a 201employee team with an emphasis on keeping an already financially sound company “sound" and also maintaining its recognized position as a leader in the “property and casualty" field. “Our intent is to maintain a strong, conservative financial position," said Charles Johnston, speaking on behalf of the firm. To that extent Hastings Mutual was a success. Johnston noted that total admitted assets in 1983 were over $72.5 million, up from the previous year’s $63.8 million. Total liabilities, mean­ while, were over $43.5 million for the year. In 1982 the figure was $41.1 million. This left the company with a Policyholders Reserve in 1983 of $28,994,000 up $6.1 million from the year before. "The Pol icy holders Reserve.” Johnston pointed out, "is a significant in­ dicator of a healthy in­ surance company." He added that Hastings Mutual would be considered as such. A big factor in that growth picture was sales — ex­ pressed in terms of written premiums — which rose 11 percent in 1983 and was well above the industry average of four percent. The total of premiums written for the year was $46,578,000. up from the 1982 figure of $41,849,000. Johnston said his com­ pany's sales increase was to some degree "an across the board one", meaning that there was an overall sales improvement for most types of covert ges (i.e. fire, auto, workman’s comp, and so on) offered by the mutual firm. He pointed out though that homeowners' sales in­ creased "a substantial" 18.4 percent in 1983. For Hastings Mutual that was obvious good news since homeowners, along with farmowners and its related coverages, are the two staples of the company’s market. Asked for reasons ‘why’ that particular coverage rose nearly 20 percent in sales, Johnston answered: "A good product, com­ petitive rates, and improved services to customers.” He noted though that last year’s growth percentage in homeowners' sales was not a one-time-only phenomenon. but rather reflected a growth that's been going on for several years and one he saw continuing. In addition to that par­ ticularcoveragegrowth, last year's overall sales increase can also be attributed in part to the company’s expansion efforts into the Ohio and northern Indiana markets where agents have been cultivated. "Those efforts did bear some fruit," Johnston said. The property and casualty industry as a whole, John­ ston noted, has been and is currently a "competitive one" and, for this reason, prices have been held down and the margin between assets and liabilities has tightened. "For every $100 in premiums,” he said, "the industry has been paying $110 in losses and expenses. Where the industry has been able to show some growth and to also subsidize these underwriting losses is with its investment income.” He added that Hastings Mutual is an exception to this average. Johnston added that even that "safety net" is not at its previous size for many in the industry, explaining that the poor economy of the ’80s has lowered the amount of in­ vestment income being generated by many com­ panies. "There’s not as much of it available," he said. The result, Johnston ad­ ded. is some belt tightening. L Market^ 241E. Slate Rd. in Hastings < MEATS* fwm at the RIGHT PRICES!

One of Hastings Mutual's efforts this past year was to install a new computer that links the company's different functions into a common system. "That’s not all bad cither." he pointed out. "Hopefully it will make us better managers, reduce our control expenses, and in­ crease our productivity." "Our own emphasis will be to grow at rales over the industry averages," he said. "We are considered a healthy company in the industry. We have been rated A+ by A.M. Best (recognized by the industry as a rating and ranking yardstick) and I have every reason to believe that when the ’83 rating comes out we will again be A+.” While sales figures have an obvious importance for the company, another im­ portant consideration — and one addressed by it last year — is preparation for the future. As with many, many other businesses and industries that future is linked with a computer system. Last year saw Hastings Mutual switched over to a larger computer and began converting its business to a new processing system, designed to integrate into one system all its insurance functions. "We bought a lot of soft­ ware," Johnston laughed. "We’re changing our processing environment, ’ he elaborated. “By replacing the separate systems we had with a more integrated one, we will hopefully improve the quality of our services and be able to cTer ad­ ditional services. It provides us with many more options in how we provide coverages and packages. "It also allows us to manage the information we have better, to integrate it better, and to acquire more of it," he said. Johnston explained that such information is vital in the management of the company. "When we price something," he noted, "we don’t know what the losses are going to be. And, with prices being competitive and investment income being tightened, it’s important to have as much information available as we can when making that decision. "It will help the company get a better handle on those parts we do want to keep and those we don’t," he added. "It’s also designed to enhance the productivity of our employees and to ac­ comodate future growth without a major increase in the work force.” The company in the coming months will be micrographing its everyday (paper) policy files. "This will allow us to map i a copy of the file (on microfilm) and keep the master record here,” he explained. He added that the system would eliminate time­ consuming out-of-file con­ ditions, cut back on the floor space used for these records, and improve the quality of service rendered by both the home office employees and the company's field agents. Hastings Mutual will be looking ahead to the coming year for another reason, beyond sales figures and new technology. Next month marks the beginning of the company’s 100th year and several special events have been and are being planned to lead up to the anniversary date next year. "We’re looking forward to celebrating that occasion with oir employees and with the community," Johnston said. 42 lb.

The passing of the millage last fall in addition to stale aid increases and teacher and staff salary concessions have leftthesystem in better shape than a year ago. ad­ mits Schoessel. That, however, doesn’t mean the school is off shakyfinancial ground. “I'm pleased we've been able to do the things we've done," said Schoessel. "but I'm not satisfied for two reasons. No. I, there have been a lot of needs built up that still need to be done, and No. 2, as we look ahead we see that financing will still be a concern. "In fairness, we're in good shape now as opposed to the way it's been in the past." The foremost reason for Schoessel's optimism was the passing of the millage last fall which allowed the school system to reinstate 11 staff positions and add three others. Reinstated programs included library and counseling services, art instruction, vocal and in­ strumental music programs, co-curricular activities and several building and site maintenance restoration projects. Added were remedial reading, computer literacy programs, and special education instruction for emotionally impaired and learning disabled students at the high school. Schoessel said the school system, mainly through the recommendations of the K-12 Study Group, looked long and hard at exactly which programs the millage was expected to support. A specific list was pieced together and evaluated The K-12 group, among other things, recommended reinstating library services, counseling, a return to the six-hour day and computer science programs. Since Schoessel had just assumed his Hastings superintendent position in July, he said the information supplied by the K-12 Study Group proved particularly valuable to him. “It was a well-conceived, well-carried out group,” he said. "1 found the group to be very supportive, verysophisticated. As as new person coming in, it was very important in focusing on our needs.” Schoessel said the passing of the miUage had both tangible and psychological benefits for the community and school sys>. m. "The young people in our community would have missed programs and ser­ vices important to their development," said Schoessel. "What was done was done with our young people in mind.” Schoessel categorizes the attitudes of both the com­ munity and teaching staff as being in the "hard to measure” section. He ad­ mitted that the community was concerned that too much of a millage increase, for example, would result in greatly- increased teacher salaries. As a result, the school system was particularly open and specific concerning the millage and publicizing who it would benefit. "The morale of our staff prior to the millage approval was at a low point," con­ ceded Schoessel. "I guess they were wondering if the community valued education. When the millage passed it created a positive attitude among the staff members. “The ripple benefit is that we have kept our word. There is a positive attitude among members of the community. We did what we said we would and the bot­ tom line is the kids are benefitting." Schoessel can't explain why the passing of the first millage in September failed, but does admit a change of tactics in October helped the millage to finally pass. “Why it failed the first time 1 don't know," he said. "I know one thing, though. We approached the first one and the second one in dif­ ferent ways. "We used a kind of media blitz the first time relying more on the printed word. The second campaign we did on a more personal level. Plus we just had one Central School was one of several building and restoration projects recommend­ ed by the K-12 Study Group last year. Superintendent Carl Schoessel said the school system, through the milloge, greatly improved its financial standing in 1983 to allow such work. proposal." One obstacle in the school system's path last year was the possible loss of ac­ creditation by the North Central Accreditation Association. Every year a school system is bound by law to submit reports to the association and every seven years an association team investigates that school system's programs and services. Largely because of the failing of the miUage, the Hastings system was found to be lacking library services and funding, an improved guidance ratio, and lacking a five-hour day. The only problem that still exists, said Schoessel, is the guidance ratio. He said the North Central organization is probably satisfied with the school system’s recent improvements. "Since we have in fact corrected most of them, they'll be no problem," said Schoessel of the library services and funding and the five-hour day. Schoessel said the Hastings Board of Education deserves credit for its work over the last year. The board adopted a 12-goal plan which, Schoessel said, "set a tone, a direction for the school system." Schoessel said the board’s sub-committees on curriculum, personnel, finance, transportation, voed, negotiations, property and insurance and legislation indicated the board's active role in the school system. "I can’t say enough good things about the board,” said Schoessel. "These are seven people that represent the community very well. Just about every segment of the community is represented on the board. "These people really care about what’s going on. It's a fine board." Repair It? Replace It?

Vern purchased the business. In 1970, son Kenneth Neil began managing the firm for his father. In 1975 Ken purchased the business and incorporated it. Over the past 14 years Hastings Sanitary Service has grown from a five-employee, two-truck operation to its current ten-employee, five-truck operation. Customers served by the firm consists mainly of residential and commercial accounts, and there has been continued growth in both these areas. The latter, in fact, has grown to where now the firm has over 250 refuse containers at business sights in the county, ranging from one-yard containers to forty-yard roll-off containers. Since 1970, Hastings Sanitary Service has expanded beyond the Hastings area to various areas of the Linda Sarver, Office county with substantial growth coming from the Nashville and Delton areas. We also service three county transfer stations — the Nashville station; the Barry, Hope and Johnstown station; and the Orange­ ville station. Hastings Sanitary Service owns and operates a landfill on Broadway, North of Hastings. It is presently an approved county landfill recognized in the Barry County Solid Waste Plan, a designation that required the landfill to meet provisions of ACT-641 which deals with solid waste. "We see the future in this industry os a big pius but also a challenging one," said Ken Neil. While everyone must discard their wastes and this need is continuing to grow, the choice of disposal places is not. This means there are fewer landfills today and will be less in the future. "Wp will always try to handle those needs in a good respectful way and at an economical cost for the customer," he said, "and to also offer a safe place of disposal."

He added that his dealership's new car and truck sales were up 62 percent over that period from a year ago. Cars sales were as strong in 1983 as they've been in a number of years; claim the three men who run new car dealerships in Hastings. The trio of men, Charlie Andrus of Frantz BuickChevrolet, Bill Renner of Renner Ford, and Bill Blankenstein of PontiacOldsmobtle-GMC, say they are very satisfied with the respective car sales generated by their businesses during 1983. In addition, based on the sales from the first two months of 1984, the three are confident the improved sales will continue the rest of this year. "The market is positive," says Renner, who has been in business in Hastings since 1966. "The consumer is buying more and we’re talking to them more. The people arc coming in the dealership more than they used to." Renner says new car and truck sales at »<s dealership are up 62 per cent over 1983. Used car sales are up 38 per cent. Nationally, Ford Motor Co. recently announced a $2.53 billion comeback in 1983 — a comeback never before equaled in U.S corporate history. The 1983 net income of $1.87 billion was a new record as well as Ford’s first full-year profit in four years. General Motors also recently announced a $2.77 billion improvement for 1983 while Chrysler also an­ nounced record profits last year. Renner says one of the leading reasons for his dealership’s increase came last February when Renner Ford took on a new Chrysler car-truck line. The move gave his business a sub­ stantially larger share of the car market. Renner also believes the dropping of interest rates from a high of 16.5 per cent to an average of just over 12 per cent has also influenced new car sales. Factory assistance programs last year and earlier this year also helped drop the cost of financing some 25 per cent. Andrus, general manager of Frantz Buick-Chevrolet, cites the local surge of business to an improved economy and the deterioration of older cars to increased car sales. He reports the Frantz Buick sales are up 21 per cent in car sales and 73 per cent in new truck sales. “People are happy again what with the country end other things looking brighter," says Andrus. Andrus says the increased sales for his company probably began in 1980 with the introduction of the front­ wheel drive Citation, the first front-wheel drive car offered by Chevrolet. Andrus says the buying habit of the American consumer is something not easily pinned down. But he does believe the public to beginning to realize the financial savings in driving a new car. "Used cars have deteriorated to the point where there are only older cars with a lot of miles on the market," says Andrus. “It behooves the consumer to t)uy new as opposed to used."

"It’s probably a little both of those," says Blankenstein. "I can’t say our sales, have been better than anybody else's, but it has been better than I thought it would be." As for the first two months of 1964, the dealers admit the year is beginning like 1983 ended: strong. "We’re very happy," says Renner, who thinks sales might jump another 25 per cent this year. "I think 1984 has started out ’ ■‘tier than 1983, even though 1 know it’s only been a short period of time." Andrus believes sales at his dealership could jump 30 per cent in 1984. "What I’m happy the most with is that we can expect good, solid, steady growth," says Andrus. “The consumer is making conscientious which buying investment decisions. Growth like that will fight inflation.” Andrus says the cars that were purchased 6-7 years ago are finished in the eye of the consumer. Those cars will probably be replaced by the end of 1986 — thus marking the end of the mini­ boom. "You won't see significant growth after that," Andrus predicts.

On the other hand, stiff competition and costs for research and development have put a press on profits in the sprinkler division and both seals and sprinkler sales arc related to in­ ternational affairs. What happens in the business world in far-off places like Singapore has more of a direct effect on business at Viking Corp, than local events do. ■•We’re very, very much influenced by the national economy and the world economy," said Richard T. Groas, president of Viking Corp. Dan Vrooman operates equipment in Viking's Tyden Seal Division where 130-million seals were produced last year. •‘What other people do there to a great extent dictates what -e have to do...Our markets are not local,” he said. Viking, which has a current total of _______ 157 employees, is comprised of two divisions under one roof at its 130,055-square foot facility onN. Industrial Park Rd. There are currently 40persons laid off, primarily as a result of the closing of •he company’s foundry several years ago. Viking's two divisions manufacture two entirely different products that are sold in entirely different markets, each with its own marketing systems. Fire protection sprinkler equipment, built to help preserve lives, property, and operations, is the cor­ poration’s largest vohime product, accounting for twothirds of the sales out of the Hastings-based operation. The world-wide market for Viking sprinklers primarily is wherever new industrial and commercial buildings arebeing built and any place where an owner of an existing building needs a sprinkling system or wants one modified. “The performances of all these various market segments directly influences what happens in the com­ pany," said Groos. The international market for the company’s other division, Tyden Seal, is tied to transportation. The tamper-proof seals, invented by Groos* grandfather, are used as security systems to Everythingfor Sewing! Sisters Fabrics offers a good selection of fabrics, trims, notions, and crafts. Fabrics include: Pendleton Wool, Martin Velvet, Springs and V.I.P. Calicos as well as Burlington Klopman fabrics.

It’s nothing outstanding, but 1 think it’sa healthy sign. Basically if trucks and railroad cars are moving than something is going on,’’Groos said. Consequently, since seal sales are closely tied to transportation "Tyden Seal is probably the clearest indication of the firing up of the general economy,’ said Groos. Approximately 130-million Tyden Seals were produced in Hastings last year. "The sprinkler business is a lot more complex” and tends to lag behind what’s happening in the general economy, Groos continued. Overall, however, “I think that perhaps we have im­ proved our market share a little bit in the sprinkler business over last year, he said. “Industrial (construction) business is just lousy. We had, strangely enough, a very good industrial business back in 1979 and ’80." He said the company did a lot of (retro-fit) sprinkler work in existing automotive plants in those years.

Ploot, general manager of Pro Line Co., saw his company's bow orders triple from 1978 to 1982. It wouldn't be unreasonable to assume, then, that the company's growth would level out, or possibly even decline in 1983. No chance. Ploot says Pro Line recorded a 100 per cent in­ crease in bow production in 1983. The company had such a landslide of orders it ac­ tually lost about 10-15 per­ cent in orders that couldn't be filled. "There isn’t any company in the area that's grown like us," acknowledges Ploot. who joined Pro Line in January of 1978. “I can’t believe we’ve had such or­ ders.” Ploot says 1984 has began much like 1983 ended: with a rush. To help meet the staggering amount of orders. Pro Line, as it did last summer, was slated to begin a second shift March 19 and lasting through August. In addition, Pro Line building space has been increased some 15 percent or some 3200 square feet. The peak production time for Pro Line comes during the summer as retailers demand bows on their shelves by early September. Pro Line currently has what Ploot calls a "network of dealers” in 49 of 50 states (minus Hawaii) plus several other countries such as Australia, Canada, Belgium and England. Ploot is understandably proud of Pro Line's "dealeroriented" outlets and credits that system for much of the company’s increased growth. "We have committments to them and they have commitments to us,” says Ploot. “We give them good service and the best money for that service." Ploot also mentions ser­ vice as an important part of Pro Line's quality. He says if a customer comes in. say, with a broken bow he'll be Mike Lusty works on bow strings at Pro Line in Hastings. The company has added employees, building space and is well on its way to smashing sales records. Pro Line general manager Terry Ploot examines stacks of Pro Line's new line of bows. Ploot said his company's business is up 100 percent this year and could even have gained another 10-to-15 percent if all the bow orders received could have been filled. West Michigan Associates Corp.

The firm has introduced two new crossbow models ond hopes they will keep the company among the bow-making elite. taken care of pronto, no questions asked. Ploot also points to the company's fiveyear warranty on products. •‘That’s a big part of us,” says Ploot. ‘‘Nobody can match our service and that's important to our sales market.” Ploot contends another reason for the increased growth of Pro Line is the improvements the company has made in the bow production. For example, the bow's handles have been streamlined and upgraded with new color schemes being added. Target lenses and bow colors now match with a wider assortment of bows now being offered. Ploot says those changes have all but taken the market by storm. “We have bows for the person just starting out,” he says. “We start a hunter at the lower end of the (bow) spectrum and gradually work him qj. "We have made several changes and you can see the results." Pro Line prices are still in the affordable range. Most bows sell at retail for $80-250 with $100-150 being the most common price. Ploot says Pro Line won't rest or its laurels — not with competition in the bow field being what it is. The trend in hunting is moving toward crossbows and Pro Line is currently marketing new camouflaged and regular models. Ploot says the crossbows have been in production for two years with the kinks being worked out of the models. The crossbows have been shown at several hunting shows and requests for the bows have been numerous. Pro Line's goal, says Ploot, is to "solidify its position" in the market and the new crossbow models should help keep the com­ pany a step ahead of the competition. "We don't want all this to happen and then slide back to 1981," notes Ploot of Pro Line's growth. “There are people out there we have taken business from and they're not just going to sit still. "The competition climate is just going to get worse. We haven't nearly hit the wall yet and the crossbow is one way to help out.” WteNO. 1 IN SPORTS AND CASUAL CLOTHING Our old friends know Leary's Sport Center as an all new business from our early years. We’ve been following the changes in our industry and filling in the gaps in service needed by the local community. John Leary started our store in 1946, selling boats, motors and fishing equipment. The business grew in the sporting equipment lines through 1966, when John added the Levi’s line of denim jeans and casual clothing. Shortly afterward, a gradual change came into the Sport­ ing Goods Industry and major clothing lines began to be manufactured for activewear — a change which coincided with an increasing American consciousness towards physical fitness. Basic sweatsuits became two piece coordinated sets with matching shoes and buyers were seeking fast growing names like Nike and Adidas.

Flexfab, started by Bill Pierce and Doug DeCamp in 1961, is currently a manufacturer of non- metalic, speciallyengineered components from clients in the aerospace, business, telephone, heavy duty truck, military and car automotive fields. Such diversified lines and custom bases allow Flexfab to be able to switch to dif- Jay Beckwith works on one of Flexfab's special hoses, which makes up a new part of the com­ pany’s business. ferent industries as others falter financially. "We try to force uurselves into other fields,” contends Drummond. Two examples of this diversity which were put into effect five years ago are extrusion, a type of hose, and production and calendering, which is the manufacturing of raw materials for ducting. The purchase of three lines of equipment in 1982 from the Flexible Tubing Division of Automation Industries of Abbeyvi’.le, South Carolina has also bolstered the diversity of Flexfab. The lines, which are now all in operation in Hastings, include extruded hose, stitched duct, and jet starter hose lines. In addition, Flexfab purchased a "special shape" product line which basically amounts to producing custom-engineered parts. "It has allowed us to improve our market position and add new customers," said Drummond of the new lines. "We have picked up 1,500-2,000 nei£ tools and have enhanced our market position in that area of business.” The purchases, says Drummond, have allowed Flexfab to broaden its customer base even more. "We thought it (the pur chases) would net us 10-15 more jobs and it has lived up to those expectations," he says. "But it is hard to dif­ ferentiate which jobs have led to that increase, though. Largely because of the addition of the new lines, Flexfab has increased floor space by some 25 percent in the last year. "We were literally running out of space," says Drum­ mond. "We were bursting at the seams." In addition, the company has increased the number of employees by 30 percent. In 1983 Flexfab employed 195 individuals. In 1984 that number jumped to 290. Drummond says Flexfab. like many businesses in 1984, is showing numerous signs of growth and recovery. “Our business activity has come back,” he said. "We're certainly a sound company, there's no doubt about that. "We’re very pleased. But there is still a lot of things to do to make our company as efficient as we need to be." One advancement Flexfab is making is in employee training programs. Drummond says Flexfab realizes that any company is only as good as its em­ ployees. Drummond sees a direct correlation between having highly-trained employees and production efficiency. As a result, a major goal of Flexfab is to improve on­ going training programs which include com­ munication seminars and department head meetings. "The skill and strength of our people, that’s what we have to put our emphasis on,” says Drummond, "We’re actively involved with training our employees and getting them up to the speed and confidence to do their jobs." Drummond says Flexfab periodically reviews its intended goals and direction and has developed a strategy to determine the company s future scope of products and mar*tets, The strategy will also guide in the assessment of the company’s capabilities Jan Aspinall works on rheometer testing, a quality test for compound rubber at the company. and influence determination of later growth and size targets. Drummond said recognizing recent trends in business such as more companies wanting to focus on fewer sources — a plan borrowed from the Japanese — are important to Flexfab’s development. Also, the company must remain acutely aware of particular trends in the many different fields in whjch the company operates. For example, Drummond notes the rapidly increasing need for silicone in the automotive industry and how Flexfab has* been able to gain a larger share of the market by supplying it. “We've developed a plan (for growth and develop­ ment) and we've executed that plan,'' says Drummond. "Things are never done as fast or as clearly as you’d want them to be done, but we're putting our plan into practice."

Starting in February. 1985. the system will have to pull in 50 percent of its operating cost through fares, with the state supply-ng the other half through a penny per gallon gas tax. voted in by the people of Michigan in 1978. Joseph Bleam. tran­ sportation manager-urban transportation coordinator for Barry County Transit, said the system closed out 1983 $8,184*82 under budget 1'nder its funding formula. Barry Transit received 100 percent funding from the state, for its first two years, minus the system's own revenue. Barry Transit, however, collected an average 27 cents on each dollar spent in 1983, proving it to be the leader in the state. In its last two months of operation in 1983. BCT averaged 39 cents on the dollar. The number of riders in the last year. 50.114, sur­ passed the state's estimates of 45.288. by 9.6 percent. In addition, fare box revenue increased by $11,518.17 over and above state estimates. This may all come as a surprise to people in Hastings who see a near empty bus rolling by their office window "To that person I say he is seeing the bus at the wrong time of the day,” said Bleam. Bleam said the bus from Delton is usually so full that riders have to be turned down, and the Nashville run is close to capacity. To counter that problem, and save money. Bleam will soon be replacing a smaller, high-mileage bus with a larger, newer model. "By going to a larger bus. we won’t have to run two buses at one time on the same route " He estimates the move will save an amount equal to three or four percent of the total budget Over half of the system's ridership comes from in­ stitutional contracts with EBl-Breakthru. Barry County Mental Health, and the Barry County In­ termediate School District. Not only does thi- benefit Barry Transit, but it also eliminated about 10 buses run by the institutions themselves prior to the contracts. Bleam said the state's Department of Tran­ sportation has sent representatives of lessprosperous systems to Barry County to learn how it's all done. "Some of them have been in business longer than we have. Some wonder how we do our contrac. said Bleam Bleam credits his em­ ployees for the system's success “It has a lot to do with the employees. These are wonderful people.” Indeed, one of BCT's drivers. Dennis Bassett, has been ranked the number one county bus driver in the state for two years in a row. "Everybody wants to give it their best shot." said Bleam. Barry County Transit's employees are Dennis Bassett. Denise Cook, Jerome Miles. Agnes Miller. Wendall Smith t drivers >. Barbara Avery.

In making that comment, he noted the area's geographic location, school system, churches, lakes, and pleasant surroundings as positive and alluring features. He also foresaw a recovery of sorts taking place in 1983. "I have to repeat those things that I already said,” Sherwood said when asked what' he saw for the coming year. "They still hold true today. “We have entered a recovery period that we talked about last year," he added. "And this recovery has affected our bank.” In 1983 National Bank of Hastings enjoyed a growth in assets of eight-to-ten per­ cent, increasing that amount to $24.5 million The bank in addition increased its ear­ nings. Sherwood credited an improved economy which benefited the bank's customers for that growth; one. he noted, that came mainly from increased savings and checking deposits. As for 1984, Sherwood foresees a continuation of the economic rebound for the Hastings area and of his bank's growth picture. "The prospects in 1984 are excellent both for the bank and the community,” said Sherwood. "If you look around, you see very fewvacant storefronts. You also see new businesses which means there's other people out there who see some good things for the area. “As for the bank I look forward to the same sort of performance, if not a better one, tor the coming year," he said. "Hastings still has room to grow a substantial amount,” he added, "and the banks are able to help the community because we have the money to lend." Sherwood said he'd like to see more small businesses, both retail and industrial, take a look at the Hastings area. “I'd also like to see the local and county govern­ ments be more aggressive in seeking out that new business," he said, adding though that he felt the Joint City-County Economic Development Corporation has been doing a good job with its "Industry Reten­ tion" Program. Facility-wise, National Bank of Hastings added an Automatic Teller Machine in October which has proved a convenience for many customers. ”We have had an extremely good acceptance of that banking concept,” said Sherwood. “Hopefully there will be more machines installed in the future."

That was the only time I’ve ever come dose to getting iaThat close call was back in the recession of the 1950s, a period that Andrus said was more of an economic crunch for him than the recent economic slump. The recent economic hardships “were probably the hardest for the plant but not for me during the time I've worked there...The worst for me was when I got cut down to working only four-days a week for awhile in the '50b.*' It's Andrus' opinion that the current economic recovery is “still a little shakey yet." He also remembers when the economy was up and down in the mid-1970s “but it was nothing as drastic (overall) as these last couple of years have been." There are only a few Hastings Manufacturing employees that have been on the job longer than Andrus who has no immediate plans for retirement. During his tenure with the company, he's worked in many capacities, inside and out­ doors. “I've been through the whole shop,” he says. It was August of 1948 when Andrus, fresh out of the Navy, applied for work at Hastings Manufacturing and Bliss. “Bliss never called,” he said. When Andrus was hired in August of '48 at Hastings Manufacturing he was part of the “yard crew" which took care of the outdoor maintainance and also helped with the loading of railroad cars and a variety of other tasks. "They had just the main ring plant when I started,” he said. He estimates that the company occupied three buildings then.

There’s no reason it can’t be a place where my grandchildren can retire from." The words belong to George Elliott, president of Hastings Manufacturing's U.A.W. Local 138, but it is a sentiment echoed by many union members these days. Elliott, and other union heads, are glad that the good times have returned, that jobs have come back, but they worry about the costs to the unions.

Despite the job gains, Elliott said the company should be stressing team­ work between union members and management, rather than cost cutting and labor givebacks. "The company has not pul itself in a position where a teamwork attitude will work. If teamwork is strong enough, where every worker feels as important as the next man. then quality will improve, sales will increase, and then the price on products can come down." said Elliott. He added that it "does not follow" that labor rates must be cut to reduce the total cost of a product — "The per hour labor cost per employee is a minute cost ofa product. The cost of getting the product to market is a tremendous cost. If you don’t do that as con­ veniently as you enn, it will cost you a lot of money. I think the labor cost is a very minor part of it.” Elliott called the com­ pany's decision to build a filter assembly plant in S. Dakota "a cop out," and argued that money used to expand out west could best be spent modernizing the Hastings plant. "I think if they wanted to spend the money, and go about it right, they could (do the assembly) here in town. They spent a lot of money (in Yankton), and they will continue to spend a lot before they get it in full operation," said Elliott. Elliott also look issue with Hastings Manufacturing's decision to jump into the mass merchandising market. PONTIAC Experience backs a new automobile dealership!

That puts the pressure on the retailers," said Elliott. "The general public customers don't want nickel and dime stuff...they want quality products," said Elliott. Jim Morway, president of UAW local 414 at E.W. Bliss, said he feels that union concessions, made last year, are a big reason for the 67 percent increase in em­ ployment since January of this year. “I feel that concessions had a lot to do with it. It keeps us going. If we didn't make concessions, I don't feel that the place would be kept going that long.” said Morway. Morway's union gave up 50 cents an hour when they signed a 30-month contract last year. Union 414 mem­ bers now make an average $9 an hour. Morway is optimistic that the plant's new owner, the Carlisle Capital Corp., will make some much-needed improvements in moder­ nization. "I think we're in better shape under Carlisle...They plan on putting some money into this place.” Despite job gains, Morway said he feels that the presaql administration in Washington is anti-union, and that worries him. He cites a recent SupremeCxMrt ruling, backed by the Reagan administration, allowing companies to file chapter 7 to get out of union contracts. "With Reagan, we're going to be sitting in the back seat until we get some dif­ ferent legislators in, because of the rulings against unions," he said. “Some of the small plants wouldn't be getting what they're getting without unions." said Mjrway, "We’re a small plart. We're just holding on. Some of your bigger plants, and the gains made there, are what keeps us from going under, otherwise we would be making five or six dollars an hour.” Hastings worker, continued grown five limes larger.” Expansions related to the manufacture of oil and air filters have been ac­ countable for most of the growth since Andrus has been on the job, he said. “When 1 went to work here they were not even making ojl filters.” The numerous expansions he has seen include the company’s purchase of other nearby buildings, such as the Royal Coach factory, and when the expansion created the closing of parts of East and High streets. Shortly after joining Hastings Manufacturing on the outdoor crew, Andrus worked with helping manufacture spark plugs for four to five months. Spark plugs are no longer part of the product line. Then he went back with the yard crew again for the second and last time. After that he spent some time boring rings in the piston ring division. One oi me jobs he once performed for four to five years doesn't even exist now. That was when he worked in the side grove operation, cutting small grooves inside of the piston rings for tor­ sional control. Andrus' next move into the company was into the "double check" department where he cut slots into oil rings. Then he worked as a furnace operator in the foundry, followed by a job as set-up man in the oil filter division where he spent some-three years. For the past 20-years he’s been a tool and die maker, primarily building and maintaining dies for making oil filters and working with some experimental projects for filter-making. "The thing 1 like best (about my job) is to be in­ volved in the building of experimental things...! guess I like the challenge of it." said Andrus. �The Haitingi Banner / Business & Industry Review '84 — Page 37 A Great Place for Good Taste!

And they intend to give those people what they want! New entrees are continually being added to the menu, with special changes to go along with the season. v The Rizors are also striving to be active in the community and to make County Seat Lounge an asset to the Hastings area. Two industries which improved moderately in 1983 over the previous year were the restaurant and insurance businesses. According to two restaurant owners in Hastings, the amount of traffic in their establish­ ments was up in 1983. Dave Roden beck, owner, of Rodee’s, says his store recorded a 20 percent customer increase in 1983. He credits the increase to the name change from Burger Chef to Rodee's, three new food products, and good spring weather. He particularly notes the name change with having the most effect even' though national figures usually show a 10-20 percent business drop when a store splits from a chain. “When somebody does something new that creates interest," said Rodenbeck. Rodenbeck said the restaurant business doesn’t necessarily reflect the nation's economy. “Not as much as other businesses," he said. “We aren't hurt as much when it’s bad, and we don't go up as much when the economy comes back." Helen Panos, who with her son, Eugene, has run the Tick Tock restaurant for nine years, says business was up five percent in 1983. Unlike Rodenbeck, she credits the turnaround in the economy. “There’s been an im­ provement in the Barry County economy," she says. “People are going out to dinner more. They’re 'NOW!

The reason: the economy. "There has developed a limit on money that wasn’t there 10 years ago," notes Coleman. He says the insurance field moved anead by "leaps and bounds" in the 1970s, but starting in 1980 the field began to flatten out. In­ surance agencies haven't grown significantly since the late 1970s. Coleman says, however, there have been signs of movement. "The activity seems to be healthier than a year ago," he says. "There is more going on, but it's still too early to tell.” Larry Neil of Farm Bureau in Hastings says a new life insurance policy called "Universal Life" has been largely responsible lor a 20 percent gross increase in his agency. Like Coleman. Neil says he saw more customers in 1983. He says housing policies are up some 10 percent while CHARLIE ANDRIS General Monoger IRA policies are up 30 per­ cent. The real increase comes in financial planning policies as people start to think about their financial future. "As an agency we were happy with that 20 percent increase but we would ex­ pect to do better next year," IAVEACKETT Used Cor Manager says Neil. •My assessment of the field is that we've had moderate growth, except for the Universal Life program. "As for competition, it was as competitive as there has been lately. It's still a buyers' market.” American Bean and Grain have been the new owners of Smith Brothers, Velte and Company for just over a year. In that short time they have made several sizable investments to upgrade and expand the existing grain, edible bean, fuel and fertilizer facilities. Along with those expansions, American Bean and Grain has renewed its commitment to the continual promotion of navy beans. This should be evidence enough to show that American Bean and Grain is devoted to maintain a standard of high quality and excel­ lent service as was exhibited by Smith Brothers over the past years. American Bean and Grain has recently added to its number of grain handling facilities by purchasing Lakewood Grain and Storage in Woodbury. This acquisition will enable American Bean and Grain to serve our patrons more efficiently with the addition of more storage, drying and unloading facilities. We at American Bean and Grain are looking forward to serving the grain, edible bean and livestock farmers of Central Michigan in the upcoming planting and harvest season.

She said she always wanted to go into factory work. Nearly IB-percent of the American blue-collar work force is comprised of women, and if predictions by the Bureau of Labor Statistics are correct, this percentage should increase through 1990. In 1980, the number of women in skilled crafts jumped to 600,000. Tina (Campbell) James of Hastings is one of the women who comprise the local bluecollar work force. She works 48-hours per week and loves It “My dad was a factory worker and I always wanted to be a factory worker too," Tina says. Soon after graduation from Hasl.ngs HighSchool in 1973, she said she applied for work at Hastings Aluminum Products on a Tuesday and went to work the following Monday. This August she will observe her 11th an­ niversary with the company. She started with a seasonal _____ WBCH ... Stereo 100 On the air 18l/2 hours a day! Hear news from the ABC Network, Michigan News Network and Local News. \U job as a packer and inspector of the siding produced by the company. That department was comprised of all women and Tina worked there for about four years and then became a machine operator, threading the machines that form the coils of aluminum. Now she and one other woman are the only female employees among the 48 workers on the paint lines during the various shifts. As a line operator, she now works 12-hour days, four days at a time and then has four-days off. There’s not a lot of heavy lifting involved in Tina’s job, but there is a lot of pushing and pulling sheets of aluminum as the sheets are spliced and painted, dried and rolled into huge coils. Her position involves some bookwork too. “I really like my job,” she says. "I like the pay, I like the job, and the hours. I have no regrets about going out there (on the paint line)." The coils of aluminum she works with have to be cut to size to meet various specifications and the aluminum will eventually be used for a number of products ranging from awnings to mobile home skirting. Tina gives a lot of credit to the guys in her department who have "helped out an awful lot. If I have trouble, they jump right in and help. Everybody on our shift helps each other out.” When she first started as line operator three years ago, she said, “I thought, ’what am I getting into’...I was ready to pack it up in a week, but the gu/s kept saying ‘you can do it' and that really helped.” Tina said the primary reason she bid for the job she presently holds was to be employed year-round with no lay-offs. And she hasn't been layed off since the day she became a line operator. The recent economic slump was not noticed on her job. she said. Tina's unique work schedule of working 12-hour days for four days and then having four-days off was written into workers' con­ tracts in November of 1982 so the company could keep the paint lines running seven days a week all year, she said. "I like that schedulea lot,” Tina adds. "We all like it now. I like my four days oft.” “At first it took a lot of adjustment, home-wise, she said. "It takes a lot of planning ahead, making appointments on the days I'm going to be off, etc. Tina and her husband Ronald (George) have a fiveyear-old son, Jamie. On work days, her alarm rings at 3:30 a.m. Often times she cooks dinner in the wee hours of the morning before she starts off for work so that the evening meal can be reheated in the microwave in minutes. It takes a lot of organization, to manage a home and hold down a full­ time job with odd hours, says Tina. She credits help from her husband and an excellent sitter for making her days go smoother. “My husband has pitched in a lol during the last six or seven months and that really makes it easier (to work outside the home). “A friend watches Jamie and she treats him like he was one of her own and I don’t have to worry about him so I totally lucked out. Having a good sitter takes a load off my mind.” “MTOpah JO On Stereo 1OO SATURDAYS 4 • 8 P.M. SUNDAYS NOON 4 F.M. ...2 Gaines Every Weekend! STAND BY FOR NEWS!

Beduhn sees a continued slow and steady improvement tn the economy. Hastings Savings & Loan sees modest, steady growth Last year Richard Beduhn. president of Hastings Savings and Loan, looked at the prevailing economic winds and predicted his firm would see an approximate four-to-five percent growth in assets and noted that the decline in interest rates would spur lending. Looking back 12 months later his aim was accurate. "The year 1983 was as good as we predicted that it would be for the Hastings Savings and Loan Association," said Beduhn. "We had a four percent growth in both assets and savings." Number-wise, the firm saw an increase in assets of nearly $1,254 million, giving it a total at year end of just over $32 million. The firm paid interest of $2,398,067 to its savings customers. Beduhn gave an improved economy, in particilar the improved job market, partial credit for that up­ swing. “I think that ‘yes’ the economy had somethin^. to do with jt," he said, "the fact that people didn't have to live on their savings acunts helped. ’■ While the savings picture propered for the Hastings firm, the other half of its function, the making of residential-type loans, also did well. During the past year Hastings Savings and Loan closed 85 loans at a total of around $2,306 million, threeand-a-half limes above the 1982 number when high in­ terest rates and tight money supplies depressed the housing and real estate markets. What’s ahead? Beduhn foresees a con­ tinuation of a modest economic growth — both for his Association and for the Hastings and Barry County areas — during the coming year.

Local financial institutions are offering a variety of mortgage plans, including variable interest rates that fluctuate with the market, to attract home buyers. New home sales in the city are way up over recent years, many being financed by the Farmers Home Administration and through guaranteed loans backed by the Michigan State Housing Authority. The city recorded 21 new home permits in in 1983. The FmHA made 21 new loans in the 1982-83 fiscal year, ending on Sept. 30, for a total value of $907,050 and 24 loans for existing home for a total of $886,550.

Factors he cited that will fuel this growth are •’con­ tinued decline in unem­ ployment, improvement in auto sales (helping the many local residents who are employed or affected by that industry), reduced interest rates, and an increase in savings which in turn makes more money available for home financing". •‘The reduction of unemployment helps us." he noted, "because there isn’t as many mortgage delinquencies, something we already know is down, and we would anticipate some growth in savings."

"1983 was a very busy year for us," she said, adding that this pace had not let up for the first three montlis of this year. Spackman said that her office — one of 56 branches in the state — saw increases in both ends of its business, savings accounts and loans. “We had good growth in the various types of savings," she elaborated. "We are continually picking up new customers." She noted that Great Lakes Federal’s "Cash Fund" (where the customer gets of higher interest rate than passbook for having a minimum of $2500 in savings and can deposit and with­ draw at will without penalty) has been "very well received", as has IRAs and longterm certificates. "With deregulation of the industry," she said, “we no longer have interest rates tied to the weekly sale of treasury bills. The industry has become more com­ petitive. Rates are subject to change because of that and people are shopping around. They're better informed about what banks and savings and loans are of­ fering. “That’s been one of the big changes in the industry,” she added.

"This is being ac­ complished,” she said, "We certainly have more traffic by offering these various consumer loans, such as auto (something savings and loans have only been allowed to do for the past couple years). We're currently getting quite a bit of business with RV and marine loans. We’re well on our way to achieving this goal of a family service center " Spackman added plough that ti«e office was still “very much involved in home financing and home im­ provement loans", its main marker staple. Noting that "most" of the business was with real estate transactions on existing homes, she said that locally Great Lakes Federal had “serviced a lot of people in 1983 in this area". She pointed out that in November the company changed from a mutual association to a stock company in order to increase its asset base. "This went off successfully,” she noted, "and allows us to do more of these consumer-type loans, as well as the mortgages." Spackman credited an improved economic climate for her office's growth of business and saw that im­ provement continuing for the area during the current year. "Things have gotten settled at Bliss thank goodness and Flexfab and Proline, as well as other industries in the community, are doing well," she said, “So generally I feel that the economic climate, for most people here, is improving."

Gerald LuedecHng said soot had built up in the smoke stack at the Larry Crystal residence, 10966 E. Shore Dr., causing heat to back up and melt a retaining ring from around a fuel in­ jection gun. Luededdng said the beat caused combustibles stored in the furnace rosp to burn, “and the flames spread from there," burning through the roof and inside walls. Luedefking said two-year-old Candis Rene CdKns’ room was close to the fire's poinngf origin, and her mother, Joan Collins,“was unable to enter her daughter's bedroom through a door. The mother then attempted to get in the girl’s room through an outside window, but w»* tfriven back by heat and smoke, said Luededdng. The one-story brick home home, which sat on a concrete slab, was totally involved when units from the Barry-Prairieville-Hope Township Fire Departments arrived. “It’s hard to pin down how long the home was burning before the fire was discovered," said Luededdng.

Hastings council names new building inspector The Hastings City Council hired a new building inspector Monday night, Constantine Hunciag, 49, a relatively new arrival to the United States from Romania. Hunciag and his wife, Marina, arrived in New York from Paris in August, 1983, where they worked for one year after leaving their native Romania. Constantine has a master’s degree in civil engineering from the Poly Technic Institute of Bucharest, Romania'? capital. His wife has a doctoral degree in art history, and worked as an art curator at the prestigious Sorbonne University in Paris before emigrating to the U.S. with her husband. The couple currently live in Hudsonville, where Constantine has worked as a car­ penter, and his wife as a librarian in the Jenison Public Library. In recommending Hunciag for the job, Hastings City Police said thieves broke into Signs Tire Service Saturday night, and stole 341.50, mostly in rolled quarters. Police said the culprits broke out a window on the west side of the building, and used a screwdriver to pry open the till. Police said they also found four new tires stacked against an outside wall by the broken window.

No other details are available. Finance Committee Chairman Mary Spackman noted his "excellent academic background" and extensive experience with computers, and said “We feel that with his background and knowledge, he is an ex­ cellent choice for the position of building inspector.” Hunciag was chosen from among 90 ap­ plicants for the job. His starting salary is 317,000. Mayor William R. Cook called the search for a building inspector "a long haul", a search that has its roots in the passage two years ago of a city Housing Code, and the passage of an Inspection Ordinance early last year. Hunciag will assume his duties Monday. The job of building inspector is currently filled by City Assessor Michael Payne, who will continue at that job. Gordon decides ‘not’ to seek re-election to county board Thieves hit Signs Tire Service Sat. House trailer fire being probed Price 25« by Steve Horton James Gordon, a two-term member of the Barry County Board of Commissioners, announced Tuesday morning his decision "not" to seek re-election. He added that he did not intend to seek any other public office "at this time". His announcement came at the start of the commissioners’ bi-weeking meeting. Gordon, a Democrat who represents District Two which includes Thornapple and Yankee Springs Townships, had given an indication of his intentions to leave the post at a commission meeting in late December, telling his fellow commissioners that hi was "leaning toward a decision of not running for re-election" He did say at that time he was “leaving the door open for a 'Lange of heart", adding that he could be "talked out of the decision". In this week's statement, he noted. "When I made that ’preannouncement" in December. I made certain statements (explaining why he was thinking of stepping down) which were essentially restated in the paper (The Hastings Banner, Dec. 15, 1983 issue). “I stand by those statements, generally,” he said, "subject to any comments that I may make and discounting any misin­ terpretations that may be made." In his discussion with The Banner last December, Gordon cited a weariness with what he called “negative attitudes in the county". "There seems to be a lot of adversary relations, an 'us* against 'them' situation." he said at that time. He also said that while his approach to politics has always been from a positive aspect, the realities of the local political process seem to often emphasize negative attitudes. "These are seen through adversary relationships that appear to get established and a tendency to deal in terms of'us' versus them’," he added. "I don’t feel that 1 need to or want to be specific at this time on that, other than to say I guess I've reached a personal political frustration point." He did note that he was "pleased to see that at present there seems to be a cairn in at least some of the obvious adversary relationships that existed a year ago". But he said. "If we're really not going to see a change of attitude in the com­ munity...and people involved in the political process continue to thrive on negative energy, thrive on creating adversary relationships, continue to be more concerned about questions of turf, then sadly enough my analysis of political attitudes in the community will be vindicated." In that discussion Gordon did not give any specific details on 'who' was causing these "negative altitudes" and "adversary Continued on page 14 by Ken Relbel The Hastings City Council Monday night authorized the city engineer to apply for federal matching funds for the “Phase II" development of Fish Hatchery Park. A public hearing for comments on the pre­ application for a park grant from the Land and Water Conservation Fund Program is scheduled for Monday, April 9, at 7:45 p.m., in Council Chambers The engineer's design calls for a land­ scaped “relaxation area" featuring shuf­ fleboard courts, benches, and a fountain, and a nearby concession building with offices and rest rooms. The total cost of the project is 3230,000, half of which would be covered by a federal grant administered through the Michigan Dept, of Natural Resources. Also included in the plans are storm sewers, a gravel parking lot, a walkway, and the remodellmg of the existing Fish Hat­ chery Building. "Phase I", completed in 1978, involved the construction of the present baseball t diamond. The project was also funded by a 1977 federal grant, administered through the rONR. Long-range plans for the area call for a * Phase 111“ development to include swimming pools, a bathhouse, shelter, and tennis, handball and basketball courts. Both Phase II and III are planned for a 500foot square area just south of the ball diamond (see aerial photo). Klovanich told councilmembers that Phase II would involve bringing utilities to the park, in preparation for Phase III. If all goes according to plan, Hastings will be invited to submit a final application in August, the grant will arrive in November, and work can start as early as Jan. 1, 1985, said Klovanich. Klovanich, however, expressed caution with regards to the grant — “There will be a lot of grant applications, and very little money.” The director of public works did point out. though, that the city has received funds through the same federal program before. Klovanich said the plans for the 250,000 square-foot recreation area were designed by himself, former YMCA and Youth Council Director Bob King, an Ann Arbor ar­ chitectural firm, and others. He said the entire area is patterned after a similar park in Midland, Mich. When funds become available, said Klovanich, the are>will see a 160-foot long Olympic-size swimming pool, a deeper diving pool, and a shallow "kiddy pool" for beginning swimmers.

Date set for ‘microwave’ trial Claudia Joyce Raynes, the Caledonia woman accused of subjecting her infant daughter to microwave radiation, is scheduled for a June 11 trial in Barry County Circuit Court on a charge of cruelty and neglect of children. The prosecution listed as evidence at Raynes's Friday pre-trial conference a microwave oven taken from the Raynes home, photos of Raynes's burned infant daughter. Tracy, photos of a known microwave radiation victim for comparison, and the testimony of a forensic pathologist. Dr. Stephen Cole of Grand Rapids. Judge Hudson E. Deming denied a motion to quash the information provided by the prosecution, which alleges that Raynes "did willfully, unlawfully, or neglectfully deprive said child of necessary food, clothing or shelter; to wit: protection from microwave radiation." Raynes's attorney. William Mills, argued that Demings* refusal to accept Raynes's guilty plea in February. 1983, contradicted the prosecutor's information. At that lime, Deming claimed that Raynes's description of the alleged crime "did not match the court rules governing the offense." "The focus of this charge is on the defendant's negligence." said Mills. ‘'The information as written is invalid in­ formation...microwave ovens do not con­ stitute shelter.” Mills quoted Demings' February, 1983 comment that “This court has determined that having a microwave oven in your home is not failure to provide necessary shelter." Raynes told the judge at that lime that she placed the child on an ironing board in front of the oven, then used the oven to warm a bottle of formula. She said she then left the room fora moment, and returned to find the infant's skin peeling. Judge Deming's question ng of Raynes in February was the basis for his refusal to accept a plea of no contest from the woman in .March. 1983. citing a court rule that prevents judges from questioning the defendant when a no contest plea is entered. His decision sent the case to the Michigan Court of Appeals and the Michigan Supreme Court, both of which upheld Deming's ruling. Barry County Assistant Attorney Dale Crowley said his office will not pursue an additional charge of exposing a child with intent to injure. A motion for the additional charge was filed by the prosecution in March. 1983. after Raynes's no-contest plea was entered The alleged crime first came to the at­ tention of law enforcement officers after Raynes brought the baby to Grand Rapids' Blodgett Hospital Oct. 31, 1982. Doctors later removed a portion of the infant's intestines, and amputated the right foot and part of the left hand. Hastings man pleads guilty to gun larceny A 24-year-old Hastings man pleaded guilty in Barry County Circuit Cairt Friday to the larceny of a gun from a Lacey Rd. residence. David Calvin Easey. 477 E. Brogan Rd. entered the plea as part of an agreement with prosecutors. The original charge was larceny over 3100, a felony punishable by up to five years in prison. The new charge is punishable by up to 24 years in prison. Sentencing for Easey Is scheduled for May 18 at 9 a.m. �The Hastings Bonner - Thursday. March 29. >984 — Page 2 VIEWPOINT: Commentaries from our editorial staff and the community - Lousma talks about and issues... people first. I believe definitely in helping people who are disadvantaged, help the elderly people who don't have the earning power that they once had. We have to protect their investment in all those years of work. But, when people are no longer in need of temporary help, then we have to make sure that they have the opportunity to provide for their own care and feed. Republican Senate candidate Jack Lousma speaking to a recent meeting of the Hastings Kiwanis Club. The Fairgrounds: Solving the building problems There's good news and there’s bad news at the Barry County Fairgrounds. The good news is that an energetic group of people is raising funds to build new 4-H buildings. The bad news is that the grandstands must be tom down and the money is not available to replace them. To build new 4-H buildings and to build a new grandstand, ’he 4-H and the fair are going to need help - the financial support, moral support and direct in­ volvement of the citizens, the businesses, the industries and the county govern­ ment. Let’s look at the good side of the situation first. A group of concerned and en­ thusiastic 4-H parents and leaders have organized the 4-H Fairgrounds Im­ provement Fundraising Committee. The committee, last year, led the drive to pay off the Fair Board's debt, which has been reduced from approximately $20,000 to about $10,000. This year, they are undertaking a fundraising auction to raise some $25,000 to construct an exhibit arena for the 4-H to use during the fair and for other groups to use during the rest of the year. Following construction of the building, the fun­ draisers plan to continue their efforts until they replace the old crowded barns at the west end of the grounds. If all of the committee members are as enthusiastic as those we have talked to, we have no doubt that they will be successful. One member said, “We can do it and I don't think that people realize it." The committee has organized itself independently of the 4-H Council but it is dedicated to building buildings for the betterment of the fair and the 4-H program. The committee members point out that improvement of the buildings will also be an asset to the people of Hastings because some unsightly, deteriorating buildings will be removed from an entrance to the city. The ether side of the fairgrounds situation is not as rosy. This month, on the advice of a structural engineer, the Fair Board voted to tear down the grandstand. The boand and the community have known for years that the grandstand has to go, but the cost of replacing it has seemed prohibitive. Now the time to replace it has come, not because the money is there, but because it could be unsafe. Most likely the board will seek a temporary solution for this summer's fair. Sets of bleachers will likely see the audience through the stage shows and other events this year. Now the board must decide if a new grandstand is needed and how the funds will be raised for construction. No options have yet been firmly outlined. The board is studying bleacher leasing, construction costs and other solutions. Taken as a whole, a new exhibit arena for year-round use, an improved grand­ stand area and new 4-H bams would be tremendous improvements to the grounds and big assets to the community. We have no doubt that these would be another plus on the side of economic growth and they will aid in attracting recreational and tourist dollars. Gordon Worth, a 4-H parent involved in the fundraising, noted that a number of organizations hold their district and regional shows at the fairgrounds - such as the Polled Hereford Association, the Holstein Association, horse shows, goat shows, rabbit shows and more. Many people who come here stay overnight, virtually all of them eat a meal here and many buy gas and other products. A lx* Her fairgrounds would attract more shows and bring more business. We know that the 4-H group will be successful in its fundraising drive because they have lots of people to work on the project and plenty of enthusiasm. We hope that you'll join us in supporting their May 12 auction with donations and purchases. We also know that the Fair Board must be successful in finding a workable solution to its grandstand problem if the fair midway and shows are to continue to be viable attractions to draw people to the fair. They have a tough problem and (here are no easy answers. Constructing a new grandstand would easily cost $60,000 or more, board President Dick Welton said. Raising that much money may take a long period of time. We think that the board should seek input from the county commissioners, in­ terested business and industry people, community civic groups and the farm organizations. Government is involved in construction projects at other fairs and that is a possibility here. We believe that the majority in the community wants to see the grounds improved and become a bigger asset to us for recreation and entertainment. Two injured in traffic mishaps Two area women were injured in seperate traffic mishaps last week, both caused by the prevailing snowy and slippery conditions. On Thursday afternoon Sharon L. Rich, 38, of 150 Leach Lake Rd.. Hastings, was coming over a hill on North Broadway Rd., near Charlton Center Rd., when she hit a fool of slush and lost control of her vehicle. She then went off the road and hit a tree. Rich was taken to Pennock Hospital by the Hastings Ambulance where she was treated. Hastings Two days earlier, Lona C. Shaneck, 61, of 261 Casgrove Rd., Nashville, was traveling on M-66, near Lawrence Rd., when her car started to slid and then spun around into die path of a trailing vehicle. The driver of the second car, Claton Boles, of 12800 Holden Rd., Bellevue, said he was unable to avoid hitting her because of the slippery conditions. He was uninjured in the collision. Shaneck was taken to Pennock Hospital for treatment. Banner Send form PS 3579 to P.O. Box B (USPS07I-830) 1952 N. Broodway, P.O. Box B, Hastings, Ml 49058 Published by... J-Ad Graphics, Inc.

Former astronaut Jack Lousma, a can­ didate for the Republican nomination for the U.S. Senate, was in Hastings, March 14, to speak to the Hastings Kiwanis Club and the Barry County Republican Women's Club. Between appearances, he was interviewed by the Banner on the issues of the campaign. Lousma faces former Congressman James Dunn of Lansing for the nomination and the winner of the August 7 primary will run against Democrat Sen. Carl Levin of Detroit. Lousma’s speech to the Kiwanis Club was reported in the March 20 issue of The Reminder. interest rates so that we will have additional money to refuel our recovery with. And the deficit has to be reduced in a planned way. We can't swallow the whole deficit al! in one gulp or we would undo everything we’ve just done. Therefore, we have to make a plan — this is how much we’re going to reduce the deficiton an annua] basis and work that plan. Where would you start? I have pointed out before that I would not want to raise individual income taxes. There are other ways to raise revenues. Such as? Well, such as through closing some loopholes by requiring foreign investments who sell to pay tax like you and I would have to do if we sold something with an investor. By putting people back to work, and thereby letting their income raise to the point where they're paying more tax just on the normal scale than they would have had earlier. So, there are a number of ways to raise revenues, okay, by putting the people back to work. But the basic way that I want to attack the deficit is by bringing down spending and we want to do that in a balanced fashion. The first area we want to look at is the defense budget. We look at our expenditures for defense, clearly, it seems to me that we can have a strong, viable, ready, lean, mean and tough force, aj we’ve always had in the past, ..How does this translate into different with less expenditure of funds. We need to political philosophies or different political make our military organization use its activities? moneyas efficiently as possible. So, I believe We come from a different list of / that just by changing the way we do business qualifications. Jim is essentially za ; and requiring more efficiency that we can businessman, who’s lived inside the stale/ accomplish our objectives. I’m one who has a broader background, that probably brings a different variety and depth What about other areas of government? of expertise than Jim does to the problem. We want to attack waste, fraud and abuse. I’ve lived in the North, the South, the East, We always want to do that. and West and I’ve lived overseas, so I bring a wide background in foreign relations. I think Where specifically? I’ve discussed that already (in my Kiwanis Well, waste is throughout our bureaucratic speech). We probably don’t have to go system of government. Just the way of doing through that again. business is inefficient and I believe there are There are some similarities. Clearly, I many ways in which we can work on that. We have four children and they’ve been through can do it in the way we handle our the school systems and so I have close ties to procurement system within the government. the educational systems of today and a great One way that has been identified is to interest in them. But he’s like that, too. separate out the various contracts that we let There are these basic differences. I’ve out for various kinds of equipment — simply gone out from this slate to serve my separate the parts part of it from the major country like thousands of other Michigan bill part of it. For example, if we have an men and women have and I’ve come back to airplane that we want built, make the part* live in the state where my home of record has and accessories a separate contract and not always been. part of the major contract and put it out for .. In your .speech at Kiwanis you talked about the differences between you and Carl Levin. You did not say anything about the dif­ ferences between you and Jim Dunn. What differences are there that your feel are important for people to vote for you instead of voting for Dunn? Well, ex-Congressman James Dunn and I are clearly just different people and that probably is the major factor. I, for example, am an engineer. I graduated from the University of Michigan and while I was there I was an athlete, always have been. I'm a military officer with 25 years of experience. I'm a jet pilot, helicopter pilot, I’m a pilot. I’m an astronaut, former astronaut. I have effectively done a lot of different things in my life. Do you think that this is going to reflect in different policies though? Different political actions? I think it could. I have seen the world from a lot, lot wider perspective than Jim has. 1 have the unique perspective of the world in which we live, too, as a result of having spent nine or 10 weeks in space. I have not led a sheltered life is what I’m getting at. Has he? Well, you can be the judge of that. Clearly it's just a different background. You proposed at Kiwanis to fight the federal deficit by cutting programs, cutting the budget rather than raising taxes. Specifically, what are you talking about cutting? Well, clearly, we have to address the deficit problem. Clearly on the other hand. I think we ought to ensure that we give the present administration. President Reagan, and his policies due credit for having made remarkable improvement the last year-anda-half or so. Because ail of the indicators demonstrate that we have a real thriving recovery, economic recovery, in progress. There is this one remaining problem of the defict. And, of course, we as Americans like to have everything perfect. I'm confident that the president wants that to happen, loo, and I would certainly support him in that. We need to reduce the deficit in order to reduce Write us a letter! 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 '•eject, edit or make any changes such as spelling and punctual ion. Are you in favor of any kind of limits on Medicare or Social Security or military pensions or any kind of entitlement Pogroms like that that are escalating through cost-of-livlng and other forms of escalation? Are you in favor of capping those? Well, the entitlement programs are reaching record heights in the ’80s. So clearly, if our programs of that sort are going to remain viable, (and) we're going to be able to continue to provide for people's needs, we’re going to have to reach some accomodations in those areas. I don’t think the government ought to break any contract that it lias made with anybody in the past, or any agreement. But, I think there are areas in which we can cut back for new people who join the systems. For example, in the civil service or in the military service, those people who have a contract with the government in which they’ve spent several years with the government, most of the years of their life in many cases, under some contract which would have changed their decision as to where they work had it been revoked or changed, those kinds of contracts should be honored. But we ought to consider new ways of handling those kinds of programs for new people who join them. This is your classic grandfather clause, I guess, for people who had signed up and worked under a certain understanding or contract. You talked about the need for the B-l bomber (in your Kiwanis speech), but at the same time, you called for cutting back the defense spending. Is there room in there for new weapons programs and still cutting back? The B-l bomber was authorized before this year. The B-l is in operation. The B-l bomber's cost is, in the new budget, relatively small. The B-l bomber is running ahead of schedule and is coming in under cost. The B-52s need to be replaced. They’re just old and getting obsolete. The capability that the B-l bomber offers is one this country needs. Moreover, we could have had the B-l bomber stationed in this state, but we’re not going to. And it would have brought a lot of jobs and brought a new image to our state and brought some prestige to our state if we would have had it stationed here. But, it’s going to stales where the Senators are primarily Republicans, just oddly enough. Carl Levin voted against the B-l bomber, by the way. So did Sen. Reigle. What specific programs would you propose or encourage in order Jo’ stimulate Michigan's economy? I think we need to continue to support our auto industry and currently it's doing very well. But, we have an existing base of manufacturing, industry, (and) business, that we need to bring business to. The existing business is what we ought to start stimulating lobegin with. And I would like to be involved in bringing government con­ tracts to that existing base of business and industry. You're saying that we have the business here? We have established factories which are not working at their maximum capacity. We have existing businesses that could expand in the state rather than out of the state if they had the business that they required. W aren‘ “>ev getting that business now? Well, this used to be the arsenal of democracy and it used to be a place where a large percentage of the defense budget was spent. Now, It's a very, very small part. It’s near the end of the list of states in the amount of defense dollars that are spent in the states. Why fas that? Because, I believe, that our business climate hasn't been such that it would en­ courage business to stay here. Business has been leaving the state expanding out of the state. And. it’s possible, that the en­ vironment hasn't been good for it So you think that the industries are still here but they're not getting it because of the business climate? Partly. Some of them, a lot of them are expanding out-of-state because of the work­ men's comp, and the unemployment comp, and the single business tax is less in other states. And the labor costs and wages have driven business away. That climate needs to be healed in this state. But that’s a problem that has to be solved in Lansing. The facts are that our business climate has to be im­ proved, I believe that it can be improved, and it has to be done here. I would like to be involved in encouraging, helping or sup­ porting that effort, but that’s a state problem. And once that problem is solved, I believe that when it's on its way to solution — I believe that there is hope on the horizon for that happening — then the climate is con­ ducive to bringing in the kinds of initiatives that I would like to be involved in and that is bring government contracts into this state. For after ail. I've been involved in large Continued on page 7 PUBLIC OPINION and Elaine Gilbert Should ex-Presidents lose perks? competitive bids. It’s been demonstrated many times in the past, throughout our free enterprise system that when you put things out for competitive bids in the private sector that you’ll get belter results with less ex­ penditure. So that’s one thing we can do. As people get jobs, as people's income rises during the recovery, that gets them off of the government rolls and I think that we have to make sure that people who no longer require government funding or government welfare, when they are able to do so, are put on their own. So that reduces the entitlement But, we have to realize that we’ve got needy Monte Burroughs Don Belles Neal Wilkins Janet Boersma Robert Demand LETTERS to the Editor: Berta Thaler Dottie Niemann Question Former shipmate is found To the Editor: Thanks to The Banner for being in­ strumental in successfully ending my search for Roger E.

Montague Former Presidents could lose Secret Service protection and special federal allowances under a proposal introduced recently in the U.S. Senate. The current cost of suporting Presidents Richard Nixon. Gerald Ford and Jimmy Carter amounts to $28 million per year, half of which k for protection. Would you like to see the high cost of supporting ex-Presidents reduced? BobShumway, Hastings: “I think it should be reduced. As fas as Secret Service, there should be some, but the cost should be reduced because it’s excessive. We can offer the same protection without the cost that’s there.” Monte Burroughs. Hastings: "Not really. I’d give them protection, but I wouldn’t let it go on for so long. The Secret Service should be put to better use." Don Belles. Hastings: "Sure. It could save a lolof money. Presidents don’t make a lot of enemies, so after a few years they don’t need the Secret Service. Neal Wilkins. Hastings: “I don’t think we should pay them a thing. They've done their job. that’s it...They managed (osteal enough when they were in office.” Bertha Thaler, Freeport: "I'm in favor of having it reduced (costs for caring for ex­ presidents). I don’t know why they have to be guarded anyway." She also said she doesn't understand why taxpayers should have to pay the bill for presidential libraries — "why don't wt let former presidents who make so much money build their own libraries?" Dottie Niemann, Hastings: “Yes, I cer­ tainly am (in favor of reducing costs for former presidents). There's no reason for them to bv so amply endowed." Concerning Secret Service protection, she agrees they should have it when they first get out of office "but not for every member of their family...that's going too far. They all write books and memoirs...they come out wealthier than when they went into office. Look at (Gerald) Ford...he gets paid a high price when he gives a speech...Ford doesn't :iecd a pension." Janet Boersma. Delton: "Yes, the cost should be cut. They are possibly entitled to five years of Secret Service protection when they get out of office but they could live on their own as private citizens after that." Hubert Demond. Hasting: "No, they don't need that much....It's outrageous (the way it is now)." He said that taxpayers should not be paying for traveling expenses for former presidents but said he believes they do need Secret Service protectioa" �The Hastings Bonner Emergency Food Bank is located in downtown Hastings The Word of Faith Food Bank is stocked with an assortment of non-perishable foods in downtown Hastings, thanks to a $9,050 grant from the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA). The emergency food bank is housed in the Re-Creation Center at 142 E. State St. in downtown Hastings. The food bank is open from 2:30-5 p.m. Monday, Wednesday and Friday and is sponsored by Word of Faith Fellowship church which applied for the grant. The church had received .. smaller grant last year. To receives one-time supply of emergency food for five-days from the local food bank, persons must first have verification of need from the Department of Social Services or the Community Action Agency or Love, Inc. at 305 S.

The food bank, staffed by volunteers, is geared to helping Barry County residents of all ages, including senior citizens, who are in need of food but are unable to get food from any other source. Those with home emergencies like a fire should also seek verification for food. Pastors are welcome to make referrals to the Love. Inc. office. "People shouldn't be embarrassed to come to the food bank," said Rev. Steve:. L. Reid, associate pastor at Word of Faith. "We all at some time in our lives have a time when we are in need. Maybe they in time can help somecne else sometime." The Word of Faith Food Bank has been open for three weeks and to date, an average of two persons per day have sought food. The center is stocked with a variety of foods that provide nutritious meals with non-perishable items from the four basic food groups. They also have foods for persons who do not have The food in the foreground of the photo taken at the Word of Faith Bood Bank in Hastings is representative of the amount a family of three would receive if they had an emergency need.

Everyone gets the same amount of food need should also be sure to plan ahead, if possible, because the food bank is only open three afternoons per week, he added. FEMA awarded a total of $16,250.74 to Barry County non-profit groups to sup­ plement emergency food and shelter programs in the area. Other food banks in Orangeville and Middleville were recipients of some of the funds. "It was exciting to get the federal funds for Barry County which has been so heavily hit per person, said Reid.

Presbyterian women hear about local Hospice program The Women’s Association of First Presbyterian Church met in the church dining room on Wednesday, March 21. Members of Circle 4 served homemade coffeecakes from a table decorated with accents of green, centered with a live shamrock. President-elect Jane Merritt conducted a short business meeting after devotions were given by Helen Tucker of Circle 6. The speaker for the morning, Cathy Vessecchia, was introduced. She is on the staff at Nashville Baptist Church and is head of the chaplaincy program at Pennock Hospital. She has been instrumental in planning the Barry Community Hospice since its start and is currently president of the Hospice board. She proceeded to give the group an update on Hospice, explaining that the organization for it is in the final stages. The expectation is that they will be ready to serve terminal patients this summer. Mrs. Vessecchia expressed appreciation for the support given by all those who have been doing such careful work to prepare forty' the beginning of this program, including the Medical Advisory Board, the local health care institutions, and the Hospice Board. She said that the cooperation of everyone con­ cerned is outstanding. Volunteers will be trained this summer and fundraising efforts will be needed. Most importantly, she requested that Hospice be put on the prayer lists of all the area chur­ ches. She characterized the concept of Hospice as an opportunity to “reach and touch the patient (with loving hands) in the midnight hour", the worst time for the terminally ill. It is to be the patient's own decision to remain at home until death, where a Care Team consisting of the family, a nurse, the family doctor, the Hospice doctor, and a Hospice volunteer will provide the support which will make that possible. For more information, Barry Community Hospice may be reached at 305 S. Michigan, P.O. Box 102, Hastings, MI 49058.

Mike McPhillips A relative newcomer to Hastings. Michael McPhillips is becoming known in the area for his practice of law as well as for his recipe for homemade chocolate almond ice cream. The Hastings attorney is in partnership with David Dimmers. Mike joined Dimmer s legal firm in October of 1982. Prior to that Mike had worked as a law clerk for Circuit Court Judge Hudson Deming for about 10months. Mike graduat 'd cum laude in January of 1982 from Cooley law School. Diversified and hard-working are two words that could be used to describe him. Becoming an attorney was a decision Mike made after contemplating a teaching career and then piff suing careers as an accountant and a quality control manager at a Lansing dairy. He spent the first 17-years of his life in Auburn, near Midland where he was bom. A graduate of St. James High School in Bay City, Mike was a member of the last graduating class from that school before it consolidated with several other schools. A move to Lansing followed high school graduation and Mike participated in the State Highway Department's "highway technician" program for three years. The program involved six months of schooling and six months of actual work per year. During his first year, he attended classes at Ferns State College. Mis remaining years in the program involved courses at Lansing Community College. "I took classes in math and accounting at LCC. I thought I wanted to be a math teacher at that time," Mike said. Upon completion of the highway technician program, he attended Michigan State University fora year. He left MSU and was promptly drafted into the Army in July of 1972. lie served his Army hitch in the states, working as a clerk for a civilian worker. "I learned a lot in the Army...my attitudes changed," he says. Mike said he's had many part-time jobs over the years, ever, while he was in the Army. He banked his Army checks and lived off the money he earned from getting up at 2 a.m. to deliver 500 newspapers: When the Army stint was over, he says he bought a couple of new cars with his savings. Mike re-enrolled at Michigan State 101 University in 1974 and graduated with a bachelor’s degree in accounting two years later. "1 thought about going to law school then, but I changed my mind. I had been accepted by three (law schools) in Michigan and a couple out-of-state." So instead of pursuing law school at that time, heaccepteda position as an accountant with Sealtest Dairy in Lansing before transferring to a job as a quality control manager in the plant. "I didn’t like it," he says of that job. "and in January of 1979 i went to law school." Since moving to Hastings, Mike has joined the local Rotary Club. In his spare lime, he enjoys hobbies of reading and playing cards and games like chess and backgammon. Golf, bowling and fishing are other activities he enjoys and Mike says he wants to learn cross country skiing. An ardent admirer of Bo Schembechler and his Universitv of Michigan football team, one of Mike's favorite pastimes is to follow the Wolverines in action. In the kitchen, Mike has a real talent for making delicious chocolate almond ice cream. He's taken samples of his ice cream to the office staffs of the district and circuit courts and it has received rave reviews. “1 got the recipe from my mom's cookbook many years ago," he says. "You really have to like ice cream to make this." he laughs, it costs about $17 a gallon. "But it does keep well." Mike McPhillips, a Hastings attorney and an enthusiastic University of Michigan football fan, scoops up some of his homemade chocolate almond ice cream. Mike’s Chocolate Almond Ice Cream (To make the ice cream, a 1-gallon ice cream freezer container is needed) Mix together: 4-cups sugar, 1-quart whole milk, 1-teaspoon salt, and 12-egg yolks, beaten. Cook over low heat until steamy, but do not boil. While that mixture is cooking, melt 8squares of of Baker's chocolate in double boiler over hot water or in a pan over hot water.

Woodland News A car driven by Frances Reuther hit a patch of ice on a curve between Woodland and Lake Odessa last Wednesday morning as Frances was returning home from Lake Odessa. The car slid off of the road and the rear end hit a telephone pole. Extensive damage was done to the car. but Frances was not injured. The Woodland Township Sesquicentennial Committee held its first organizational meeting on Thursday evening, March 22. at the Lions Den. They elected Shirley Kilmer as secretary. Shirley was ill that night and unable to attend the meeting, but she has since said that she would accept the job. They also elected Jim Lucas treasurer of the committee. The celebration will be held some time in 1987. The group discussed adding to the existing township history books and reissuing them to be sold during the celebration, investigating the legality and cost of having Dean Eugene Davenport's book, "Timberland Times", republished in paperback, and finding a name for the celebration. They also disc«^sed organizing a tour of historical homes in Woodland Township and holding an antique show in connection with the celebration. Anyone who has any ideas about what form the celebration should take or anything that could be added to it should talk to any member of the committee or come to the next committee meeting which will be held on Thursday, April 12, at 7 p.m. in the Woodland Lions Dea Committee members are Tom Niethamer. Earl Engle. Lawrence Chase, Jim Lucas, Barbara Dalton. Shirley Kilmer and George Schaibly.

Phone 948-8051 The Hastings Banner To collectors of ceramics, the name “Fiesta" didn’t arouse much interest until about 10 years ago. Unlike many items from the late 19th Century and the early decades of the 20th Century that have been sought after for their age, collecting Fiesta dishes is relatively new. The colorful dinnerware that brightened America’s everyday dining in the '40s and '50b, like confetti after a party, was introduced in 1938 by the Laughlin Pottery, a dinnerware firm that began doing business in 1871. The cheerful and colorful Fiesta dishes were an instant success and flourished as everyday household accessories until the late 1960s when Laughlin in­ troduced more "up-to-date" designs. The appeal of Fiesta did not. however, languish and the original, vibrantly colored tableware currently is staging a revival. Out of production for merely over a decade, the colorful little dishes could be called one of the liveliest collectibles around. Original Fiesta dishes, pitchers, platters, and other pieces with the telltale rings around their rims are being snatched from grannie's hutches almost as if they were antiquities. Some Fiesta collectors are dabblers. They enjoy the colorful pieces and use them for everything from table service to pot house plants. The serious collector diligently hunts yard sales, flea markets and mall shows to retrieve pieces of every color to make up complete sets. The Laughlin firm still manufactures handsome dinnerware, turning out latter-day designs at a rate of 60 million pieces a year. But more of the old product than the new may be changing hands currently. The appeal of the older Fiesta as a collectible, casual or otherwise, has been attributed to its Art Deco look, as well as the serviceability of the pieces. Fiesta is especially nostalgic. It was produced in such large quantities and sold at such low prices that almost everybody remembers seeing some on their mother’s or grandmother ’s table at one time or another. A strong underlying cause for the love affair Americans have with Fiesta is its basic charm — the time-tpsted simplicity of a plain design done in soft, almost wax-like colors, produced with glazing processes that manufacturers can no longer afford. To many collectors, the glaze is critical, and choice of color often separates the serious collector from the novice. Fiesta pieces in red, for in­ stance, are now selling for as much as 25 percent more than other colors. The very vivid red is particularly precious because it is rare, not having been manufactured for many years before and after World War II because of the unavailability of the uranium oxide needed for production. The quality, as well as the color of the glaze, is also examined by the Fiesta aficionado. The dishes have a semi­ gloss texture made possible by early glaze methods that are no longer economically feasible. Some of the early pieces have bleeding, caused by the glaze not "taking" properly, and the color looks runny. A very serious collector will never buy a piece that has bleeding or little white spots called "mold marks" where the glaze did not completely take. Always look for scratches, also. The surface of Fiesta dinner and lunch plates can be scratched very easily. Indeed, the days of Fiesta as an easyto-find. bargain collectible is coming to an end. A pair of tripod Fiesta can­ dleholders is scarce and sell from $45 to $60, depending on condition. A 10-inui dinner plate from $4 to $6, and a teacup with an undamaged handle would be a rarity and valued at $6 to $8. The saucer is rated at a mere 75 cents to $1. A prized red stick-handled coffeepot is valued at $65. Prices on Fiesta vary greatly, ac­ cording to where the pieces are pur­ chased. I believe we have established the fact through previous columns that to buy from an antique and collectibles shop is much costlier than to buy at an auction or yard sales. It takes a little more "intestinal fortitude" and shoe leather, but the end result is rewarding price-wise. Aside from varying prices, confusion for collectors arises from the fact that colors and products from Laughlin changed over the years. t Individual items were added and taken'away from the line, a well as variations pn the trademark indications on the bottoms of pieces. Basically the pieces remained the same, and this was one reason for their popularity. The con­ sistency of design meant that dishes and accessories could be mixed and matched easily during the almost 30year reign of Fiesta. Mixing colors together on a table was the traditional manner in which the pieces were used. Changes occurred in the colors, too, but the original hues of red, blue, green, yellow and ivory remain the favorites of collectors of the casual dishes that are now coveted artifacts of a bygone time Sometimes what is discovered may look like the Fiesta ware that is on collectors' sought-after lists, but it isn't necessarily so. Laughlin made similar dishes like the Harlequin line and the Kitchen Kraft pieces brought out as companions to Fiesta in 1939. Fiesta also has many outside-the-company lookalikes and imitators who used such clever names as "Fiesta Wood" or "Genuine Fiesta". Do not be fooled by these two named wares. Laughlin made no children's dinnerware, no lamps, and no tiered tidbit dishes. There are pieces put out by imitators of Fiesta in the heyday and thereafter. Some of the colors of the reproduc­ tions are very close to the original, but a little lighter. If you are a serious collector of Fiesta ware, study your field. As in any of life's endeavors, we only get ou* of it what we put into it. Even though it doesn't look like it, spring has sprung! Happy saleing! Lake Odessa News Sister Carmella Conway of Mt.

March 29. 1984 Interview with Jack Lousma continued.... government projects for years as a military officer, as an engineer, as an astronaut in high technology, and I believe that I could be instrumental in bringing these kinds of contracts to contractors within the state. Secondly, what I would like to do is to be involved in the diversification of industry in addition to new business. And this state, a few years ago, identified high technology as one of those areas in which it ought to ex­ pand. High technology is not going to solve all of our problems but it can be a very great asset in a few years if we do it right now. Since I've been involved in high technology for 17 years, I believe that I could be useful in encouraging that kind of diversification and expansion within the state. High technology spins off a lot of businesses. There's no reason that this state can't be as dominant in high technology as California, Texas or Arizona, some of these other states which are expanding. High technology is the way of the future. Let’s face it It's here. We ought to have a bigger piece of the action. I want to be involved in that piece of the action. So those are two areas in which I could help bring jobs to Michigan because that’s what we really need is the jobs. We need to keep our taxes down. We need to improve our quality cf life, our standard of living, our incomes, total economic growth through providing employment for people. You criticized Levin for supporting (Gov. James) Blanchard’s tax increase. How would you have solved the same problem that Blanchard faced, which was a large deficit in state government, without a tax increase? It's clear that they over spent. What they should have done is reduced the spending end of that ledger. And further, that's a state problem, and that’s one that can't be solved by your U.S. senator. But the facts are that Sen. Levin did publicly support Gov. Blan­ chard's tax increase. How are we doing it now that the tax increase has been reduced? I'm asking you. Clearly, there must have been an alter­ native solution because the alternative solution is being applied now and it seems to be working. Taxes are reduced and somehow we’re surviving, so he should have done that to begin with. lie should have kept a zero growth budget before instead of increasing the taxes. In a postscript conversation, Lous ma discussed the space program, where he was involved for 25 years, and its cost to the nation. I think NASA is more efficient with money than almost any other area of the govern­ ment. The facts are that its budget isn’t very big. Ifwe take a look at how much money this country has spent for direct payments to individuals — in the new budget its going to be 42 cents out of every dollar goe« to direct payments to individuals, and 29 cents to defense (in other words, we spend a lot less for defense than we do in just giving money to people in transfer payments) — if you took a look at how much money the space program gets compared to direct payments to individuals, it's less than one fiftieth of what we spend in direct payments to In­ dividuals. Less than one percent of our total budget goes to the space program. Do you think there Is going to be military in space? NASA is a civilian agency. Will wars' possibly be fought in space? If the Soviets militarize space, then we’ll have to provide comparable defense. But, space is an area which we ought to keep free of military weapons and that’s what the space treaty slates today. The Soviets violated that to some degree when they developed an anti-satellite weapon, the killer satellite. But, aside from that space is still a place that does not contain weaponry. The space shuttle is used occasionally by the United States Air Force to do the kinds of things it would have done otherwise with unmanned rockets. It’s just a substitute. It’s a reusable vehicle instead of a non-reusable one to do the same kinds of things that it always did and those are more on a recon naissance measure which are authorized by the treaties between us and the Soviets to be able to reconnoiter each other’s progress on the ground. We need to be strong in space in order to keep •? from being militarized and that's one reason for a good strong space program. People think that the space program bums up a lot more money than it does. It doesn't. It’s less than one fiftieth of what we have in our entitlement programs. People spend 10 times as much on booze every year than what we spend on the space program, three times as much on cosmetics, three times as much on tobacco. It's hard for me to be too sympathetic to people that say the space program isn't worth it, because it gives back a whole lot more than we put in. It's been determined that it gives back about seven or eight dollars for every dollar that we spend on it. But the results are intangible. They’re hard to measure. But what kind of a dollar figure do you put on national defense or in­ ternational cooperation or better weather forecasts or live telephone and television communications? Or the stimulus that it is to a lot of other areas of our national life? Or the ability to manage resources more ef­ ficiently and more effectively from sensors in space — agriculture, forestry, fresh water resources, pollution control, the oceans, the weather? I haven't talked about the products and processes and the other spin offs that we see in our medical research labs, in our hospitals, across the country. Those are the kinds of things that you can't put a dollar figure on. But the facts are that we wouldn't have those things if it weren’t for the high technology in the space program, so I say that it gives back a lot more than we put into it When you say that we put a lot into it, I can refute that by saying, compare it with the other things we spend money on. It’s really not that much. Additional Notes Former President Gerald R. Ford last week endorsed Jack Lousma for the U.S. Senate, noting that he was breaking a longstanding policy of staying out of Republican primaries. In a letter mailed to 120,000 Republicans throughout Michigan, Ford told them, “I'm breaking a personal tradition and becoming involved in a primary campaign...because I am totally convinced our Party and the state of Michigan need Jack Lousma in the United States Senate." Ford noted that both Lousma and he were from the Grand Rapids area and graduates of the University of Michigan. The other candidate in the race for the GOP nomination is Jim Dunn, a former Congressman from East Lansing who lost his re-election bid two years ago after the Sixth District was redesigned to include the City of Pontiac. Also last week Lousma agreed to debate Dunn, accepting a challenge that the latter candidate has made repeatedly since the former astronaut announced his intentions to run. The debate will be held Aug. 3 on a program to be televised statewide. LEGAL NOTICES COMMON COUNCIL MARCH 12. 1984 Common Council met in reg­ ular session in the City Council Chambers. City Holl.

Child abuse topics of workshop, play The Barry County Child Abuse Council is sponsoring a free workshop, the video of a play, and a live play, on the subject of identifying and preventing physical and sexual abuse of children, Monday, April 9, at the Grace Lutheran Church. 239 North St. The workshop will beheld from 3:30 to 5:30 p.m., and will be conducted by the Gratiot County Advocacy Assoc, of Alma. Coor­ dinator Kim Barnas and staff members will discuss the complex problems of sexually abusive families and present the video of their play, "Bubbylonian Encounter". At 7 p.m., a live version of the play will be performed at Leason Sharpe Hall at the First Presbyterian Church, 217 W. Center St. Admission is free. The play is described as a "lively, sen­ sitive and humorous play about touching, both the positive reward of touching as well as its perils." Through the use of theatre, children are taught how to identify positive versus negative, or "forced sexual touching” by adults, and what to do if the negative touching does occur. The play introduces "Bub”, a disarming little visitor from the planet Bubbylonia, whose inhabitants are deprived of the sense of touch. With the aid of two new Earthling friends, Archie and Betty, Bub breaks out of his invisible bubble and begins to discover the wonders and worries of touching. His education begins with a pleasant, positive, nurturing touch — the warm sup­ port of a friend’s hand, the soft tickle of a human hair, and the mystery of kissing. Then Bub is led gently into an awareness of "people touching" that is not so good — the relative with bad breath who kisses you, the aunt who pinches children's cheeks too hard. And Bub learns about “forced sexual touch”, words chosen as a label for sexual assault and rape. The play does not use these two terms, but their meaning is conveyed within the explanation and demonstration rf "forced sexual touch." Bub’s most disturbing discovery is that even a member of his own family might perpetrate "forced sexual touching". The visitor then decides to retreat to his bubble, and go back to Bubbylonia, but Archie and Betty convince their friend that a life without touching is also harmful. Finally, Bub learns that if he is careful, and watches out for himself, he can, indeed, live on Earth and enjoy the sense of touch. Following the workshop, a meal will be served by the Grace Lutheran Church. A $3 charge for dinner will be requested. For a reservation, contact the Barry Countj Child Abuse Council, Box 304, Hastings, by Wednesday, April 4. Hastings City Bank elects two directors A. Earlene Baum, of 620 W. Indian Hills Dr..

Hastings woman to head St. Jude’s Bike-a-Thon The Central Regional Office at St. Jude Children's Research Hospital announced that Mrs. Dawn Smith has agreed to chair the St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital Bike-a-thon in Hastings this spring. St. Jude Children's Research Hospital was founded by entertainer Danny Thomas. The institution opened its doors to the public in 1962 to combat catastrophic diseases which afflict children. St. Jude Hospital is non­ sectarian. non-discriminatory. and provides medical care to over 4,200 patients. At St. Jude, scientists and physicians are working side-by-side seeking not only a better means of treatment, but also the causes, cures and prevention of these terrible killers. All findings and information gained at the hospital are shared freely with doctors and hospitals all over the world. Thanks to St. Jude's, children who have leukemia, Hodgkin's disease, sickle cell anemia, and other child killing diseases now have a better chance to live. The Bike-a-thon program is dedicated to "Terry". Terry was diagnosed with leukemia in March of 1978 and began treatment at St. Jude Children's Research Hospital. Today, she is well and off all medication. Terry is a living example of the progess and success of the research, patient care, and educational programs of this internationally recognized hospital. The funds raised in the Bike-a-thons this spring will help assure the continuation of the life giving work at the hospital. The children hope that the citizens of Hastings will wholeheartedly support the upcoming Bike-a-thon.

Do those records satisfy you? O'Mara: Oh yeah, it was a good year. We didwell. We got into a miniature slump, but I thought considering the lack of experience and stuff like that we had a good season. Anytime you finish that far above .500 and are second in the league, even though we didn’t beat Sturgis, it's a good year. Question: Last year your team jelled, and in fact, played some of its best games toward the end of the year in February and March. Why didn't that happen this year? O'Mara: There were a couple games we did. We just didn't get enough consistent play from all five players. Question: A year ago you did that? O'Mara: We got the best we could have. This year we just didn't get that play. That's what jelling is, everyone seems to come to play. Like when we played Coldwater this year. It was as good as we played all year because everyone came to play. We didn't seem to ever get that going; nobody stepped in after that. That was our problem. We just never seemed to get all five players playing at the same time. When we did, we seemed to play well. But tha* was the problem, we just didn't get them playing every night. And I think that was a mental thing. It had nothing to do with their abilities, it was a mental thing. Thai's something that's going to have to be worked on. Question: Do you think you got the most out of your players? O'Mara: I think I got a good effort out of them. I don't think they always played up to their ability every game. Sometimes I don't think some of them were mentally ready to play and that hurt their game. Basketball is a mental game in terms of preparedness to play. You have to be mentally tough and we weren’t always that way. But I think they gave me the effort. 1 never had to complain about »he effort. We worked hard, it’s just we didn't get working un­ til...uh, they were up and down during games. Sometimes we didn't get a whole game out of everybody. Mental toughness comes with playing a lot and we had that inexperience and that has a lot to do with it. Question: You've been a varsity coach for three years now. Are you still learning? O'Mara: Oh yeah. When you quit learning you get out. Question: What are you learning? You learn a lot of things. Lots of times you get done and look back and see you should have uone this, or you should have prepared better or taught them a little bit more. You learn organization, that there's things here and there you should have done. I learned a lot. There’s little bitsy things that go into coaching that I didn't do, that I didn't know, and I let some things slide I wasn’t sure of. One thing J learned is if you're ever not going to be in a school, you better be wellorganized. And the organization part didn't always come through. Basketball is a chance to learn a lot about the detailed things that have to come through and it’s the little details that makes the difference between winning and losing...Some of those things weren't taken care of. Question: What about the Hastings basketball program as a whole. Are you satisfied with It? Is it in good shape? Can it improve? O'Mara: Anything can always get better, but I think it's in pretty good shape. One of my problems up until new has be*n finding enough time to lake care of everything. It's been difficult the last tiree years to make sure everything has been taken care of. The YMCA does a lot and the junior high coaches I think have done a pretty good job. Th* program will be in real good shape when we get a freshman team. Until we get a freshman team it's not going to be a real solid program. There's not enough of an opportunity for the kids to play. Every school that I know of that has a good program has a freshman team in Class B. And that's very important...We cut out an opportunity for our kids to play. For some of them it might be their only chance to play and it's very important to them. The majority of our program is in good shape but until we get freshman basketball it's not going to be a real good program. I think we do well with what we have. Question: What about some of the talent that will be rising to varsity In the next three or four yean. Is there talent coming up? O'Mara: When next year's senior class leaves we’re not just losing Mark (Brown), we're losing a lot of seniors and we've got some capable kids. Our problem is we never have any big kids, and when you don’t have big inside kids you have to do other things exceptionally well. We have to work harder to be successful and 1 feel we have the ability in the younger kids coming up. I feel some attitudes have to be straightened around but the ability is there, they just have to be willing to play. We din't have a player of Mark's capabilities coming. If we do, I haven't seen him. I think we have some good players coming up, our sophomore class is a good one. There's enough good players coming up to keep us respectable. Season delayed The 1984 baseball season was put on hold last week with the addition of several inches of snow. However, two rather large "children" took advantage of the snow by constructing a late-season snowman near the Hastings Junior High last Friday. The "children" were not identified, but the snowmen is thought to be. judging by his cap. a California Angel fan.

All the Panthers did under veteran coach Rob Heethuis was roll to a perfect 19-0 record, win four of five tournaments, and produce the third state championship wrestler in the school’s history. Is it any wonder, then, the Panthers locked up seven of the 13 positions on the honor roll, which is based on the top individual records in the county with wrestlers having 20 or more decisions. Heading the honor roll is the Panther’s Dan Tobin. The 145-pound junior won an incredible 43 of 44 matches this year losing only a single close regional match. He won the 145-pound state Class B title — the third Delton wrestler to ever capture a state championship. But the soft-spoken Tobin was hardly the only Panther wrestler who earned a spot on the team. Joining him on the honor roll were six other teammates including senior co­ captains Mike DeBolt (167-pound class) and Doug Conklin (138). DeBolt compiled a 31-6-1 record while Conklin was 32-5-1. Other Delton wrestlers named were fresh­ man Glen Hayward (98-pound class) with a 35-5 mark, sophomore Ted Engle (105) at 377, juniors Rocky Anaya (119) with a 37-9 mark and Todd Haven (145) at 34-4. Hayward, Conklin, Haven, and DeBolt were regional qualifeis while Anaya and Engle joined Tobin in the state meet. Three Middleville wrestlers compiled the best records in their respective weight classes thus earning a position on the honor roll. Those three Trojans were Del Craven (112), Mark Lloyd (198) and Jeff Wohlford (heavyweight). Wohlford slammed his way to a 35-8 mark, Lloyd was 28-11, and Craven had a 26-10 record. Lloyd, a four-year starter, counted 27 pins among his 28 wins. Wohlford, still a junior, won an OK Blue title-while Craven is only a sophomore. A pair of Hastings wrestlers, Dave Ken­ sington (185) and Hutch Clason (132), were also named to the select 13-man honor roll. sports Clason was Hastings' MVP while leading the team in wins (29-11 mark). He was a regional qualifier and a four-year lettermman. Kensington, the captain of the Saxons, overcame injuries and a late season slump to finish with a 28-13 record. He was a state qualifier — the first Hastings wrestler to make it all the way to state in several years. Lakewood had one wrestler earn a spot on the honor roll in senior Theorn Storey (126), who compiledan excellent 25-12 record. He is a four-year starter, Lakewood's co-MVP and co-caplain, and Tri River champion at 126 pounds. 1983-84 Barry County Wresting Honor Roll 98 ■ GLEN HAYWARD. Delton Freshman .. 105 - TED ENGLE.

Officers, league fees and registration jvill all be discussed at the meeting. At least one representative must attend the meeting for the team to be eligible this summer. SPORTS notched 156 rebounds. He led the team with 84 assists. Henry averaged 12.9 points per game and hauled down 195 rebounds. Athletic Boosters approve purchase of equipment The Hastings Athletic Boosters Club at the March meeting approved the purchase of just under $5,000 of protective and par­ ticipation equipment for various athletic teams at the junior high and high school. This equipment was purchased by funds the boosters raised over the last two years. The next booster club meeting will be April 9 at the high school choir room at 7:30 p.m. Election of officers and board members, discussion concerning the purchase of bleachers for the baseball and softball areas, and other fund raising activities will be discussed. Al! those interested in sports in Hastings are invited to attend The best & worst of prep basketball It's the longest of all the prep seasons beginning just before the winter snows of November and lasting until the March melt. Taking that into account, it only stands to reason that high school basketbf.il should offer a plethora of exciting, disapointing and even humorous moments in a single winter. From one sportswriter's vantage point along courtside, under the basket, and from behind a VDT, the season produced several memorable moments. Moments like these: Most exciting moment: Maybe I'm prejudiced, but the most exciting game I witnessed came Friday night, March 2 in Maple Valley. That was the night the Lions found themselves a single win away from clinching an undisputed SMAA title. But a scrappy Olivet team, despite finding itself quite out of the title race, took Maple Valley to the hilt before losing a 61-59 overtime thriller. As an honorable mention pick, how about Hastings' 71-68 win over Albion on Jan. 6. But more on that game later. Biggest near miss: Back to Delton again. I'll take their two losses — by narrow 48-45 and 60-57 scores — to eventual state-runnerup Kalamazoo Christian. Nobody else came that close to up­ setting the Hornets again until Hamilton came thumping along in the state finals last Saturday. Biggest turnabout from last season (tram): With Paul Blacken doing a masterful job of coaching, Delton was transformed from a team never lacking in outstanding potential into a flat out excellent basketball team The Pan­ thers won 17 of 23 games, finished runnerup in the KVA, and snagged their first district title in two decades. Best quote: After watching his Delton team escape with a 56-44 win over lowly Paw Paw, Pau1 Blacken couldn’t help but think of the missed shots, tur­ novers, and general shoddy play of the Panthers. Speaking of the win, he later commented, “It wasn't picturesque by any means.” Biggest turnabout (Individual): Candidates here include Steve Miller of Middleville. Jim Meade of Delton and Mike Smith of Lakewood. A year ago Miller was but a shaky-looking sophomore while Meade and Smith were only relatively successful jayvee players. All three were excellent ad­ ditions to their varsity teams this winter. But the athlete I think showed the biggest turnaround was Delton's Brett McBeth He didn't see much action last year, but this year blossomed into the type of player who could score against anybody. Biggest upset: Two games pop into mind. First, let's take Delton's 72-65 win in Hastings on Feb. 7. The win culminated Blacken's slick rebuilding job and probably helped propel the Panthers into a district title. Secondly, let's take Maple Valley’s early season 56-50 win over Pennfield, a team expected to make a run for a league championship. The victory boosted the Lions' confidence and was a key win in the drive for the SMAA title. Best individual effort: I told you we'd come back to that 71-68 Hastings win over Albion. The best effort I saw this season was Mark Brown shaking off one of his many ankle problems to personally destroy the Wildcats. If memory serves correctly Hastings was causing along with a comfortafc'e 67 point lead until Brown went down midway through the third period. With him out of the lineup the Wildcats zoomed into a small lead of their own. But an obvioiBly-bobbled Brown checked back into the game in the fourth quarter and fired in off-balance jumpers and a bushel full of free throws to al) but kick the Wildcats back to Albion, 71-69. Brown finished the night with 44 points. Biggest blowout: Hamilton could do little wrong on Dec. 13 in a 42-point shellacking of Middleville, 8341. The less we talk about that ballgame the better, huh Skip? Biggest dlsupointment: Hastings takes the rap here in the 6144 loss to Sturgis on Jan. 20. The Saxons, sporting a 7-1 record at that point, seemed ready to upset the league-leading Trojans. Instead, the Saxons were never really in the game. Funniest moment: Hastings was in Marshall on Feb. 17 and it was a horrible night for Brown. He was being hounded all over the court, pushed, she ved, and all but tackled for a 10-yard loss. He couldn't seem buy a basket, let alone a free throw. He finished the game 10 for-30 from the field and only 9of-16 from the line. Anyway, after one particularly questionable call by the officials, A thoroughly disgusted Brown grabbed the ball and started to stomp away from the basket. As he did so. Brown flipped the ball back over his shouider toward the basket It went in. All in a season s work. �The Hostings Bonner— Thursday, March 29, 1984, Page 10 Scoreboard YMCA basketball champs — YMCA-YOUTH COUNCIL'S MEN’S BASKETBALL Final game results, week of March 19.

Fred Astaire will perform a buck and wing ... and Mae West will “do her thing” at Henry Ford Museum's 1930's Great Escape Weekend. Saturday and Sunday, March 17 an 18, visitors can enjoy the decade's en­ tertainment and per­ sonalities in a weekend that will be anything but depressed. Although money was scarce for most, the Thirties were musically very rich. Reproducing the burgeoning Big Band sound will be Al Townsend and the Am­ bassadors, a seventeen-piece ensemble that promises to make the place swing. Ad­ ditional singers and musicians will perform many of the “standards” that blossomed at this time, representing such talent as Cole Porter, Rodgers and Hart, and George Gershwin. Lessons to popular Thirties dances, like the Big Apple, also will be offered. Music of another sort - a more basic, gritty style that echoed the frustration of the common man -- was being popularized by folk singer Woody Guthrie. A tribute to the music of Guthrie will be performed throughout the day in the Agricultural area of the museum. Much of the’ new music was broadcast over the radio - a phenomenally successful medium that carried everything from news to symphony orchestras to Charlie McCarthy. In recognition of its farreaching impact, a live "broadcast" of "The Lone Ranger" (complete with sound effects) will be per­ formed for museum audiences. A;i original script will be used form the popular serial that originated from Detroit radio station WXYZ. Another dynamic medium in the Thirties was the movies, especially since sound was becoming more and more sophisticated. In Henry Ford Museum Theater, three represen­ tative films will be shown once each day: "Way Out West,” starring Laurel and Hardy; "Top Hat," featuring the unforgettable dancing of Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers; and "A Night at the Opeara," a classic Marx Brothers comedv.

The district's board of education Monday accepted Baker’s resignation “with regret and commented on his long and dedicated service to the school district." said Delton's Superintendent Dr. John Sanders. Baker gave no reason for his resignation and he could not be reached for comment. Although he joined the district in 1962, this was Baker’s first year on the job as assistant middle school principal. Prior to that, he served six years as the district's superin­ tentent before resigning from that post in May of 1983. Baker also has held positions as Delton's high school principal and director of secondary education. In other business, the board adopted a budget for the 1964 summer recreation program which reflects increases in con- Chamber’s Home & Auto Show next month plans ’50s theme Do you remember hula hoops, poplin jackets, Davey Crockett, Martin and Lewis, Elvis Presley, chartreuse, and pretty colored cars?

The new budget in­ cludes anticipated revenues of $16,230 and proposed expenditures of $15,799. Ex­ penditures include costs for supervision, equipment, umpires, trophies, and field maintainance. The school has always provided leadership and the facilities for the summer program but does not contribute to its operating fund. The townships of Barry, Hope, Johnstown. Prairieville and Orangeville have been asked to Increase their contributions from $500 to $1,000 each for the program this year because funding is no longer available from the local Community Chest which is now defunct. Previoiusly the community chesi had been a primary source of funds, to the tune of $3,3OO-plus last year for the program. To date, Barry, Hope and Prairieville townships have agree to the increased contribution. Johnstown and Orangeville have not yet had their final meetings on the matter. In view of the program's financial woes, it will cost participants $5 more this year to participate in girls’ softball, boys' baseball, girls' fast-pitch, Pony League, Mickey Mantle, and Connie Mack. The fees for those activities have been increased from $3 to $8. Sanders noted that the participant fees for those activities had not been increased since 1979. Also under the new fee structure, gym­ nastics will coat $20 rather than $15 and Tball will now be $5. The new fee for men's softball is $200 a team. The fee for women's softball per team is $100 because fewer umpires are used. Pertaining to its own finances, the board heard an extensive report from the finance committee regarding preparation of the proposed operating budget for the 1964-85 school year. At the board's next meeting, April 9, Sanders said he expects the board to make decisions about the budget, including whether an increase in millage will be necessary. Enrollment in the Delton district has declined by 106-students since the fourth Friday count and Sanders said the decrease “is a very serious matter to us because we depend on state aid to keep our programs going and that's based upon student enrollment." The district currently levies 21.1 extra voted mills and receives eight-allocated mills from the county for operations. The board met in executive session during the meeting to discuss negotiations with cafeteria employees. Sanders said the local unit rejected a recent proposal that evolv jd from a mediation session. "We are going to return to the (negotiating) table very soon," he added. As standard operating procedure, a board committee was appointed to conduct an evaluation of the superintendent. Serving on the committee are Dr. Philip Stott, chair­ man; Penny Hogan, and Don Aukerman. The board accepted, with gratitude, an offer from Mr. and Mrs. Sterling Fenner of Kingsbury Rd. who volunteered to "adopt a classroom” this summer by painting and making other improvements to it. The room to be selected for the project will be chosen by the administration. The Fenners said they hoped other parents might be interested in “adopting” other classrooms as a service to the school. “We look forward to that kind of in­ volvement fruni parents,” Sanders said. The board approved the replacement of two dugouts on the baseball field at a cost in the neighborhood of $2,200. The cement work is to be done by a local contractor, Jack Hayward. The retirement of Dorothy Anderson, a high school office clerk, was announced. Mrs. Anderson has been a school employee for 17-years.

Deeply missed by his family City closes Country Club Drive by Ken Relbel The Hastings City Council voted unanimously Monday night, on the advice of the city attorney, to permanently close Country Club Drive, after hearing that the dirt road is at present improperly engineered and dangerous. "I'm not talking about abandoning this road," said City Attorney Richard Shaw, "I'm talking about closing it.** The road was the subject of a lawsuit against the city by two men injured in a head-on collision there on Jan. 24, 1982. Richard Krouse, 43, W. State Rd, was seriously injured when his car ran head-on into a vehicle driven by Donald Vickers, 21, Middleville. Both Vickers and Krouse sued the city, claiming improper design and maintenance of the road. Krouse, who suffered multiple fractures, to now totally and permanency disabled, ac­ cording to nis attorney, Ralph O. Wilbur of Hastings. Wilbur said the city has settled out of court with his Krause, however Wilbur declined to name the amount at his client’s request. Vickers suffered a broken sternum, and two passengers in his ban received minor lacerations. Shaw said he made the recommendation after speaking with a professional traffic safety engineer, hired by Wilbur as an expert to testify in Krause's suit. The engineer called Country Club Dr. "improperly engineered, unsafe for travel, vision ob­ structive, and of insufficient width to sustain two-way traffic.” The city made the %-mile long road one­ way north to south in June, 1982. At that time, about two dozen township residents attended a council meeting to fight for continued twoway travel.

Court upholds Algonquin decision by Ken Relbel The Michigan Court of Appeals ruled March 21 that the Algonquin Lake Association cannot be sued f or negligence for damages arising from an authorized drawdown of the lake level. Rush Stidham, owner of Stidham's Gravel Co., W. State Rd., filed suit against the association in November, 1982, to recover damages incurred by a 1980 drawdown of the lake. Stidham claimed he spent $5,000 to replace his well, which went dry after the water table dropped, an alleged result of the drawdown. Barry-Eaton Circuit Court Judge Hudson E.

"properly dismissed’’ Stidham's complaint. “Plaintiff (Stidham) asserts that defen­ dant (Algonquin Lake Association) would be liable for injury caused by defendant's unreasonable intentional interference with the subterranean water supply. However, plaintiff does not allege that defendant used or withdrew subterranean waters. Instead, defendant, by opening the dam, merely returned the level of Algonquin Lake to its natural level,” wrote the court. The justices ruled that Stidham would have to have "a prescriptive right" to maintain the artificial level to properly establish legal action. The justices further stated, in a five page ruling, that Stidham's allegation that the lake association knew that the draw down affects the subterranean water level ‘ does not establish a prescriptive right to maintain the lake at a particular level.” The court based its decision in part on a 1957 case, "Drainage Board v. Village of Homer”, where the owner of a dam was allowed to destroy the dam over the com­ plaints of riparian land owners that lowering the impoundment would diminish their ability to use sub-surface water for irrigation Riparian land is property adjacent to an artificially created body of water. The court in “Drainage Board" ruled that riparian owners were "continuously charged, by the very fact of the dam and its gates, with notice that the pood is artificial distinguished from natural and that its level may by the owner be lowered or returned to natural state at any time.” The court also upheld Deming’s decision that Stidham could not halt future draw downs by means of an injunction against the Algonquin Lake Association. “If plaintiff felt aggrieved by the opening of the dam, plaintiff could have requested a bearing with the Department of Natural Resources." Mark Anderson, president of the Algonquin Lake Association, said his group does not plan on lowering the lake level for some time to come. "At this time, we don't foresee any drawdowns. We don’t see a need for it," said Anderson. Anderson noted that the association does lower the lake level a little each winter to keep ice away from ti« docks, but has no plans for a major draw down, such as oc­ curred in 1980.

Karen Sue Scott, 26, Millett, was found dead in her home on March 23 by her boyfriend. "It was a drug rip-off type thing,” said Det. Dale Welton of the Michigan State Police Lansing post. When asked if the woman was dealing drugs, Welton replied “Let’s just say there were an awful lot of people in and out of there." Welton said Scott's boyfriend, identified as Joe Shuler, of Millett, last saw the woman alive as he left for work about 8 a.m. He returned to Scott’s home at 4:30 p.m., and discovered the body in bed, said Welton. Welton said Stone died of "multiple stab wounds." The detective said the murderers took drugs, which he described as "hard stuff...pills and everything", and money. The detective said police found more drugs and drug paraphenalia in the home. Welton said there are no suspects at this time, and that the killing remains under investigation. Scott is a 1976 graduate of Maple Valley High School. She is survived by her parents, Sherman and Virginia Scott, Vermontville; a brother, Sherman, Jr., Vermontville, and a sister, Cathy Spitzer of Nashville. “You can go into a church, but the police might be thereto photograph you.

The party has all the power," said Hunciag. Hunciag said that out of a population of about 20 million people, 2,000 party members control all the power. "Party members can buy anything, can travel anywhere. None of them is obliged to work, and none of them do," he said. "They are a very special people, very rich, no duties, only rights." "For the rest of us, the society keeps you very busy," said Hunciag. He said workers put in six days a week, eight hours a day, starting at 7 a.m., with no time out for lunch. "And very often on Sundays, you must volunteer to clean up the parks, and for other public service projects...You are obliged to volunteer. You have no free time.” Workers are given 12 days vacation a year for the first three y^prs, and one additional day for each year thereafter. There are no holidays as we know them.

Nearly all of the fires were caused by careless, fire reports show. "Not only is there a high cost of (fighting fires)," Assistant Chief Richard McLaughlin said, “but we also rob the protection for building fires." McLaughlin said that at one point on Monday, the city was actually without a fire department. He said that when three country trucks were out on three different fires, that left no manpower for the city. He added, however, that in those cases, the county’s mutual aid system between departments would enable the city to request assistance from other departments if necessary. “When everybody’s running grass fires, though, it stretches everybody pretty thin," he said. McLaughlin pointed out that people starting fires can be held liable for damage to their neighbor's property if they are negligent and the fire gets out of control onto Road to America was long one for new city building inspector Joint EDC to meet April 18 Michigan State Police from the Hastings team are locking for the owner of an orange chainsaw found recently in the Thornapple Lake area.

Thursday, Aprils, 1984 For Constantine Hunciag, and his wife Marina, a job in America is a long-awaited dream come true. Hunciag started his job this week as building inspector for the City of Hastings. by Ken Reibel When the Hastings City Council finally selected a building inspector last week, Mayor William R. Cook called it "the end of a long haul." But for Constantine Hunciag, who started his new job in city hall Monday, the road to America, and Hastings, was an even longer haul. Hunciag and his wife. Marina, left their native Romania in July. 1982. on the pretense of a trip to Paris to visit Marina's aunt. "The majority of people who leave Romania do not come back." said Hunciag. He and his wife lived in Paris for one year before coming to America. He recalls with a tinge of bitterness the Communist society he left, and tells of a country locked into a police state that con­ trols the lives of every man. woman and child. "In a Communist country you cannot advance in your profession." said Hunciag, who holds a master's degree in civil engineering. "I worked for 22 years in Romania as an engineer, and stayed al the lowest level the whole time. I worked very, very hard, and no one said I did well Only that I did not earn the salary that I was getting.” Hunciag made $60 a month as a civil engineer. His wife took home $40 a month as an art curator. Their combined salaries, said Hunciag. barely covered the cost of rent and food. Like most of his countrymen. Con­ stantine has never owned a car. and ownership of homes or properly is forbidden to all except for members of the ruling Communist party. "Today I learned about lhe American system of government In Romania, the system is totally different. Instead of three "When 1 was in Paris, I saw a parade on the Champs Elysses, where the French president and other leaders went by the people. In Romania, all the people in Bucharest are obliged to march in front of the party leaders. You gel up at 5 a.m., and stand for hours at a starting point in the suburbs of Bucharest at 6 a.m. Then ward by ward, all the citizens march in front to the 2,000 party members. The leaders watch the people go by. “It is a parade for 2,000 people." said Hunciag. He added that it is "very dangerous" to miss a parade. It is also dangerous to make a habit of going to church in Romania, said Hunciag. ’Officially, religion is allowed. But unofficially it is forbidden. You can go into a church, but the KGB (slate police) may be there to photograph you. You may think you are alone, but they will be hiding in the balcony, or looking in a window. If you are caught going to church three times, you are fired from your job." said Hunciag. "You are controlled everywhere. The radio broadcasting is controlled, the newspapers are controlled. There is one department within the police agency that opens letters. That's all they do,” said Continued to page 3 Workers from Wilson Construction Co. of McCutchenville. Ohio, hove been tearing up the old railrood tracks in Hastings, this week, pulling up lhe last vestiges of the railroad era. Now only o few remodeled train stations stand along the route from Charlotte to Grand Rapids that first brought a train to Hastings in 1869 The Kent. Barry, Eaton Railway was the last firm to operate on the tracks, surviving with a state subsidy that was shut off last year. For a history of the railroad here, see Esther Walton's new column. "From Time to Time” on page seven. H �The Hastings Banner— Thursday, April 5, 1984, Page 2 VIEWPOINT: Commentaries from our editorial staff and the community- The case for passing a mandatory seatbelt law by Ken Reibel Writing History: Local newspapers chronicle events Phil Graham, th? late publisher of The Washington Post, once said, "Newspapers are the first rough draft of history.” On the national scene, the widespread coverage that national and international news events receive provides a wealth of sources and viewpoints to analyze events in retrospect On the local scene the rough draft of history is being written by the community newspapers Thousands of weekly newspapers nationwide chronicle the events of their hometowns on a regular basis and provide a treasury of information for those looking into the history of their towns and families. Writing the community chronicle is a iob undertaken by no one else. Clubs, schools, institutions and businesses often fail to write their own Ivstories and then find that their neglect makes it difficult to go back. Newspapers, like no other medium, are continually observing, documenting and recording for readers today and tomorrow. Who • ould record the new buildings and new businesses, the births and deaths, weddings and anniversaries? Who would write of the club leaders and government officials, the industry promotions and the high school top ten? How else could we re-live the thrill of a winning ball season? Or how could we remember the good works of a community leader who has died? Newspapers are the basic medium of communities and through our chronicle the people become better educated citizens. The role of newspapers in recording history is raised here because we are em­ barking on a new project this week. Inside, you'll find a first-time column written by local historian Esther Walton. Her qualifications for writing that column are outlined in an accompanying story. Esther will help to create a greater sense of history in this paper and in the community by looking back, each week, at the events, the institutions and the people who have brought our town to its present day. Much of her information will be compiled from past issues of The Banner, where she will take the separate events as they are recorded and create a meaningful overview. An event that took place this week provides a good chance for u? to compare the present day with the past and contemplate how it will affect the future. Though the trains stopped running through Hastings last year, as long as the tracks remained we could still feci and remember their impact on the town. Hastings, like cities from Pittsburgh to Sacramento, grew up with the coming of the railroad. Now the tracks are gone, the trains will be beard no longer and as the years slip by, the evidence of the role they played here will slowly disappear. To mark the end of the railroad, Esther has devoted her first column to the beginning of the railroad, the exciting day when the first small woodburning locomotive chugged into town. With the addition of the new historical column, The Banner no longer is just writing the rough draft of history, it is also adding an historical perspective to the news of today. We invite participation from you in developing this new column by sharing your historical photographs and documents to give Esther an even wider variety of sources of information Regularly listed park hours advised LETTERS to the Editor: Reader delighted about McDonald House fund To the Editor: I've been watching the Ronald McDonald House fund grow with much delight The financial, physical and emotional demands on a family with a “special" child are very large, and we personally ex­ perienced the hospitality of the House when our daughter had her second heart surgery. The fee is nominal, and the support given by the house manager and other parents was priceless. Allowing a fam Uy to be together with clean housing and all the moral support provided is a godsend. You may say “why" airport something that's not local, but there were families from Kalamazoo, Portland, Charlotte, and a lot of other places at the same time while we were there. To those who have helped support the fund, “thank you” from a mother who has been there and I hope you never have the ex­ perience. Carol Christy To the Editor: I read with interest your editorial of March 22, regarding a needed funding base for Charlton Park. I grew up only a few miles from the park, swimming there as a child and visiting Irving Charlton's museum each time. While I hare not lived in Barry County since 1965, I have watched with pride as community residents organized the museum through the years and bad the foresight to establish the Historical Village. It has concerned me that each time I visit the village, I find that I am nearly the only visitor. I window peek my way through the village, explaining to friends how great it would be if only they could see inside each building and the museum. I live in Kent County now and feel it is well worth the trip to visit the park. I only wish there were better publicity regarding the hours the various buildings are open. I have tried to call to learn more about the hours or special events, but find no answer to the phone, no answering machine and no call forwarding. My choice is to instead drive to Ludington to their historical park, knowing by their shiny, colorful brochure exactly when they are open. It seems that through the hard work and dreams of many volunteers, starting with Irving Charlton, a wonderful resource has been developed in Barry County. Families and school groups need not travel to Detroit or Ludington (or Colonial Williamsburg) to get a taste of American history. I would hope that county officials, or volunteers, could create a plan that would make that won­ derful park more accessible to the people of Michigan. I suggest that consistent hours be set, that a fee be determined, and that publicity be set into gear. I know the park is there. Does anyone else?

I've visited a lot of accident scenes in my tun years at the Banner, and the word "seat­ belt conjures up images of people who didn't wear one when they ought to have - two eyes peering helplessly'out from a mask of blood, an hysterical woman being loaded onto a stretcher as her children look on. leg splints and neck collars and an EMT writing b'ood pressure numbers on a pale, outstretched nrm. We all know of someone who died in a car. Think back. Was that person wearing a seat bell when the crash occurred? ° Probably not. A bill which now awaits action in the Michigan legislature. House Bill 4203, would make the wearing of occupant restraints mandatory while operating a vehicle. If anything kills this worthwhile proposal, it will be the proponents of the right to self-destruction .• e.?bUlt? ‘0SUch a law goes ,ike lhis: “If 1 want t0 smash my face against my windshield.it s my business, and the government can just butt out.'' Others will tell the stop, of a friend of a friend who is alive today because he wasn’t wearing occupant restraints. Some will even argue that it is safer to be thrown from a vehicle, say one that is plunging into a lake, than to bestrapped in. True there are instances, albeit rare, where not wearing seat belts saved a life. Un­ fortunately we do not get to pick our traffic accidents. Cne study shows that virtually every one of us will be involved in at least one traffic mishap in our lives and chances are 1 In so (hat wc will be killed by a car.

A University of Michigan study claims that a mandatory belt law could save state taxpayers as much as $21.5 million a year. That’s money spent in rehabilitation costs, welfare, special education, the crippled children’s fund, Aid to Dependant Children, Medicaid and workman's compensation each year The unbelted driver of this pickup truck as a result of people being maimed and killed in car wrecks who could have been died from internal injuries. Collision speed was estimated at 12-to-18 miles per hour. saved if they buckled up. Thirty-four countries and provinces now have mandatory belt laws, and each reports sizable savings of both lives and social costs as a result. In Sweden, which reports an BS percent usage rate as a result of such a law. studies show that seat belts reduced personal injuries by SO percent, and deaths by 60 to 70 percent. Swedish officials report a cost savings of between $22 million to MS million. In this country, one study has shown that non-belt use costs the government ap­ proximately $1S billion a year. By comparison, the federal food stamp program costs $17 billion a year. As I mentioned, a strong argument against bells is the issue of freedom. This argument is usually made before the accident. Once the accident has happened, and the individual is lying in a pool of blood, he sings another tune: "Now wait a minute. I was just kidding about that freedom stuff. Now I want the publicly subsidized ambulance to pick me off the road. I want to be sewed up in a tax-supported emergency room, and if I have a lingering disability, I want you to teach me bow to walk and talk again. Also. I want the government to take care of my family while I’m getting better, and unable to provide." All of us are paying a lot of money every day for the losses due to highway accidents. The single biggest component of that loss is not the size of our cars, nor the potholes in the roads it s non-use of seatbelts by all but 10 percent of the automobile passengers on the road. You do have a right to smash yourself upj But please consider this — the rest of us have no choice when it comes to making you all bitter again. And that costs lots of monev. So how effective are seat belts? ' *’ ' ‘ When a car collides with another object -^a trtfe, "bridge abutment, light pole, or .another car — two collisions actually occur. The first collision smashes your grill, bends the frame, breaks glass and so on. It's a costly collision, as anyone who's paid a body shop will tell you, but it's not nearly as bad as the second collision. That's the one that throws the unbelted passenger into the steering wheel and-or the The belted driver of this station wagon windshield, or another passenger, or received only minor injuries. Collision bounces you around yoir car like a speed was estimated at 25-10-30 miles per pinball when your car rolls over. hour. Many non-belt users feel they can brace themselves to prevent an injury in an accident. But they don't realize the tremendous forces involved until an accident happens. Some live to consider the error in their thinking. Some don't. In a 30-mile-an-hour crash with a solid object (a tree, for instance), an unbelted passenger slams into the windsheld. the instrument panel or the steering wheel and column at a force more than 100 times the force of gravity. This is the g force discussed in rocket touches. A 30-mph crash exerts g forces more than 20 times stronger than those an astronaut experiences at blastoff. Put another way, the unbelted occupant of a 30-mph crash hits the windshild or other interior surface of the vehicle with the same impact as a fall from a three-story building. Even the impact of a slower, 10-mph crash is roughly equivalent to catching a 200-pound weight dropped from about seven-feet. It is not only the victim of a car crash who loses, it’s all of us. Michigan, the car capital of the world, ought to lead the nation in adopting this commonsense measure tc cut down on the pain and suffering that automobiles can,inflict, and on the social costs that go with them. Know Your Schools... Accreditation...happy ending by Carl Schoessel. Hastings Superintendent Everyone likes a story with a happy ending, so readers should enjoy this one! J?*?1*’’ “2 Robcrl VaiKlerVeen, (he principal „r Hastings Senior High School, received a letter ot warning from the North Central Association of Colleges and Schools, which is the regional association responsible for evaluating and accrediting secondary schools and colleges. , The. !e,,er of wor"ing indicated several deviations from North Central Association standards al the high school which would result in the school losing its accreditation if the situation was not corrected. Among the most serious deviations hsted in the letter were no counselors and librarian, no funding for purchase of horary materials, the libraries being closed, and only a five hour school day all of which were conditions resulting from the financial difficulties the school system was experiencing at that time. These deviations in the warning letter caused a great deal of concern to the "“■raters of the K-n School Study Committee which began its work not long after the letter from the North Central Association was received. Aside from the com­ mittee s most serious concern of the high school students being deprived of critically important educational resources and services, the committee members also were concerned about the school losing its North Central accreditation, meaning that Hastings High School graduates would havea more difficult time in being accepted into some colleges and universities, the school would lose its high standing in the region, and there would be the loss of the guided self-evaluation and the services of the IS to 20 "outside" evaluators who would come to the school for T? sever'ycars in order 10 terapare the school s programs with the standards of the North Central Association that have been developed over the past century. Focusing on these concerns, the K-12 Study Committee members made several recommendations pertaining to the deviations cited in the letter received on December 23.1982 and encouraged the board of education to take the necessary steps to correct the deficiencies. The board did address the committee's recommendations by restoring the sixhour day at the beginning of this school year, and by including support for the other recommendations in the millage proposition that was approved by the electorate on October 24. 1983. As a result o that millage approval, two counselors and the librarian were recalled to their former positions in the high school, the library was reopened, the library materials are being purchased in accordance with North Central standards. In addition, the approved millage proposition also enabled counseling services to be restored al the junior high school and provided funds to purchase materials for all school libraries, both of which were recommendations also submitted by the K12 School Study Committeee. The happy ending to this story is the fact that the high school principal now has Deen able to inform the North Central Association that all deviations have been corrected, with exception that only two counselors at the high school provides a student-counselor ratio that is slightly in excess of the standard established by the association. However, it is known that the one remaining deviation will not result m further action by the association, and the North Central accreditation of Hastings High School will remain in place!

Lorna Wilson Mabel Barry Question Hie state's safety engineer has notified Barry County that the grandstands are structurally unsound, and must be torn down. What would you like to see built In place of the old grandstands* Do you hive any memories of the grandstand? Rod Tietz, Hastings: "I've been to a lot of horse shows there, a lot of fairs," said Tietz. "I showed 4-H there as a kid.” "I’d like to see a bigger and better grand­ stand put up. It's had its best days already.” Tietz said the high cost of building a new structure could be cut by having individuals in the community donate time to con­ structing it. "Then the only cost would be the materials. I would put some time into that, and I know a lot of other folks would.' ’ David Brodbeck, Lake Odessa: "What you have to analyze is whether the cost is worth it to the people. You can't just slap something up there like you could in the old days. Now you have stricter building endes to go by. And the grandstands are only used once a year.” Shirley Drake Clarence Hartman Lorna Wilson. Nashville: "I'd like to see something else done. Personally, before they rebuild the grandstands, I’d like to see them build a show barn of some sort in that general area" because it’s “something that is needed." Concerning memories of the old grandstand, she said she really didn’t have any. Lorna, who has been active during fair week for about the last 12-years (10-years as a leader) says the old grandstand " was the least of my worries" becauseshe always was so busy with other things. .Mabel Barry, Hastings: “Yes, I’d be in favor of them rebuilding or remodeling (the grandstands). People have to have something to sit on if they're going to watch the attractions." Mabel, a long-time worker for many years at the Barry County Fair, says she doesn't have any particular memories of the grandstand. "I know they have been there a long time. When I'm down at the fair I usually stay in the crafts bunding.” Frank Mix. Hastings: "The grandstands have always been that way. I always thought it was a dump...It never was taken care of. For years it's looked to me like it was about to fall down. I think we need a new one. I'd build something permanent.” Shirley Drake. Hastings: "Forme that’s a difficult question. 1 think they should be replaced with bleachers or a (new) grand­ stand...I don't know if it would be the type of grandstand as we know it today." Discussing memories of the old grandstand, she said it has been "an old stand-by" and has been an asset for racing, 4-H and commercial ac­ tivities. Mike Lewis. Hastings: "I’d like to see more seats, and more space. Maybe make it a little bit longer. And I'd like to see a game area under the seats, with games like you see on the midway, and a restaurant." Mike said he's seen horse races, mud wrestlers and demolition derbies from the grandstands, but his favorite is "figure-eight racing " Clarence Hartman. Hastings: "I think it's time that they were rebuilt." Hartman, who was active in 4-H for 50-years, says he didn't miss a fair for 30-some years. "I can remember when our club (the Yeckley 4-H Club) was one of the first clubs to put on a show right in front of the grandstand I have pictures nf our entrance parade." �The Hastings Banner— Thursday. April 5. 1984. Page 3 Rash of fires proves to be costly, could result in a fine. Permission to burn can be obtained over the telephone. The department number is 945-5384. Notifying the department of a controlled fire prevents unnecessary emergency runs should a neighbor call in an alarm. The busiest time during this week’s rash of fires came Monday afternoon, between the hours of 1 p.m. and 3 p.m., when the department fought four separate grass fires and assisted Nashville firefighters with a barn fire. Monday's first blaze occurred at 1:15 p.m., at 3502 E. State Rd., where a grass fire burned an area 100-feet by TOO-feet in area. Fire officials say the fire was touched off by a burning cigarette. At 2 p.m., Hastings firetrucks were called out twice. A grass fire at the comer of River and Mathison Roads scorched 4 acre, and a second fire on the2S00 block of Lawrence Rd. blackened an area 100-feet by 200-feet in size. Officials blame the latter fire on careless burning. Fire officials say kids playing with mat­ ches touched off a brush fire that burned through an area 25-feet by 75-feel, on Venture Dr. The call came at 2:15 p.m., Monday. Hastings firefighters assisted Nashville with a barn fix ? on Lawrence Rd., at 3 p.m. Nashville Fire Chief Doug Yarger said the fire at the Richard Carrigan residence Torch may be carried by Provincial The Provincial House of Hastings is one of many affiliated nirsing homes in the United States that may participate in a 12,000 milelong marathon that will carry a torch through al) 50 states, and end up at the Summer Olympic Games in Los Angeles in July. Beverly Enterprises, owner of the Prov’acial House and approximately 1,000 other such facilities nationwide, is sponsoring four one-kilometer segments of the marathon, which starts in New York May 8, and terminates at the Los Angeles Coliseum July 28. During the relay, the torch will be passel by up to 10,000 Americans. Viewing t as an op­ portunity to shed a positive light on the elderly, and in particular, nursing home residents, Beverly En­ terprises has sponsored four segments in the relay. In each segmen . a resident will carry the torch while being pushed in a u heelchair by an employee. Beverly nursing homes that partic:pate will be selected in a random drawing o( stubs from sponsorship tickets sold by employees. All proceeds go towards youth organizations and the 1984 Olympic Games. For donations, questions, or ticket sales, contact the Provinicial House in Hastings. Film gives answer to crime God's Prison Gang," a newly released film featuring Al Capone’s getaway driver, the last member of Bonnie and Clyde’s gang and two other notorious criminals who have become Christians will be shown at Nashville Assembly of God, 735 Reed St.. Nashville, on Sunday, April 8. The showing is scheduled to begin at 7 p.m. The film, shot behind the walls of New York's Attica prison, is hosted by Art Linkletter. It tells the story of how the work of In­ ternational Prison Ministry is accomplishing what more guards higher prison walls and greater financial ex­ penditures have failed to do — keep released inmates from returning to lives of crime. Telling their stories in the 44-minute film are George Meyer. Al Capone's favorite driver; Floyd Hamilton (Public Enemy No. 1) the last of the Bonnie and Clyde Gang; Jerry Graham, the “robber king” of California; and Ted Jefferson, convicted of crimes from drugs and robbery to murder. Also featured is “Chaplain Ray," whose Dallas-based International Prison Ministry has changed the lives of thousands of inmates over the past 18 years. The Rev. Robert Taylor, pastor of Nashville Assembly of God church, said he hopes all citizens concerned about the problem of rising crime will a*tend the free screening of the film. destroyed $3,500 in contents, including a lawn mower, roto tiller, an aluminum boat and ladders. Yarger said the flames spread to a glassy area, adding “We had quite a time putting it out." No damage estimate is available for the bam. Firetrucks were called four times during Sunday. The largest blaze of the day came at the Ron King residence, 3502 E. State Rd., where careless burning is blamed for a fire that touched off four acres. Firefighters returned to the scene Monday afternoon. Fire officials say children playing with matches touched off a fire just south of Sweezy’s Pond, off Cook Rd., Sunday af­ ternoon. The fire scorched an area 60-feet by 200-feet, and damaged a number of pine trees. Careless burning is blamed for a fire reported at 4 p.m. Sunday at 1406 Wall Lake Rd. That blaze reportedly burned 4 acre. At about the same time, firetrucks were called io a grass fire at the corner of Buehler Rd. and Iroquois Tr., where a discarded cigarette is blamed for the burning of a 100feet by 300-feet area. Saturday’s only grass fire came at 1651 Sager Rd., where four acres burned. Fire officials said the blaze spread after the owner tried to burn off a small patch uf grass. South Jimiseit Street Only one blaze was reported to Hastings firefighters Tuesday, a 5 p.m. grass fire at 3111 Wing Rd. that scorched a 50-feet by 100feet area. Officials attribute the cause to burning trash. Road tO AmoriCa, continued from Page 7 Hunciag. He said he only sends postcards from America to Romania. Hunciag still has relatives in Romania, and he doesn't rule out the possibility of retaliation against them for his leaving. “They have to tell others that I am crazy, that I am crazy to leave such a nice coun­ try,” he said. Hunciag said he has wanted to come to America for the past 15 years. He and his wife got their long-awaited chance when his wife’s great aunt sent an invitation in December. 1981, for the couple to visit her in Paris. The Hunciagsthen applied for passports, but with very little hope that both would get one. "But then passports for two arrived on June 28. 1982, and the French visas arrived on July 6...On the same day, we bought the airplane tickets, and on July 8 we left Romania for good.” Hunciag credits his wife's aunt for their new start. The woman not only paid for the couple’s plane ticket, but also put up a cash bond with the Romanian government to insure the Hunciag’s return. The bond was forfeited, as was everything the Hunciags owned, save for what they could each carry in one bag. Constantine worked in Paris with com­ puters, while his wife pursued a doctoral degree in art history from the Sorbonne University in Paris. In October, 1982, the couple applied for immigration to the United States. In March, 1983, th-y were in­ terviewed by a U.S. immigration official, and told they would need a sponsor to move here, The sporsorship came from a Grand Rapids organization called Catholic Human Development. One Aug. 17, 1983 they couple arrived in New York. A day later, they were in Grand Rapids. People with 1J^NNEXK)N. have a big advantage. COMING SOON to...

Her dad also was a supervisor in Hope Townsh p and served as Barry County Treasurer for eight years. In fact, Kathryn worked in her dad’s office as deputy county treasurer for four years after she graduated from Hastings High School. When she married, she eventually was in politics again. Her husband, Howard Ferris, has been the county register of deeds for nearly 23-years. Kathiyn grew ip in the Shultz area and went to the one-room Shultz school which now houses the Hope Township Hall in Barry County. She and her husband reside on a centennial farm, near Tanner Lake Rd. and M-37, that has been in Howard's family since 1872. Howard's grandparents, Caleb Dean and Pheobe Ferris were the original family owners of the property. When the property became a centennial farm, the Ferris’ hosted a big party to commemorate the event. She and the other female members of Lne family wore long dresses for the occasion. Before moving to the centennial farm in 1953, she and Howard lived across the road in a home he and his dad built with lumber they cut from the property. Kathryn says she has only worked briefly outside the home as a paid employee. She spent about six months working half days for the Farm Bureau Elevator. "Life's too short to work (outside the home)," she said. However, Kathryn has worked hard out­ side the home as a volunteer who has made a variety of worthwhile contributions to many organizations. In politics, she estimates that she has been a very active member of the Parry County Republican Party for 25-years. She has been president of the local Republican Women’s group for the last two years. “I’ve met a lot of nice people,” Kathryn says of her political activities. Some of her political volunteer service has involved "doing a lot of committee work for the Republican party, chairing the party’s food booth at the county fair for a number of years, and general campaigning — for just about everybody. Kathryn also enjoyed going to Miami, Florida when her husband was an alternate delegate to the Republican National Con­ vention about 12-years ago. Kathryn's currently winding up a two-year stint as president of the Pennock Hospital Auxiliary Board. During her tenure she said several changes have been made that "have helped a lot." A volunteer coordinator has been hired and some new groups like the craft and courier guilds have been formed. Kathryn has been involved as a hospital volunteer for many years, logging 3,100-total volunteer hours. She said she first decided to be a volunteer after she read an item in the paper that volunteers could be helpful to the hospital. She was active when the local business women's group had a hospital guild and when the Goodwill Church had a guild, she did some sewing with members before the group disbanded. She joined the Escour t Guild in 1961 and is still a member of that group. She's also served as its president. She was first a chairman of the auxiliary board in 1975 and served on the board for a three year period in that time range before starting another term two years ago. Now that her current term as board president is ending she will automatically serve as a counselor to the board for another year. This month, she starts a new duty. She will serve as historian for the Southwest District of the Michigan Association of Hospital Auxiliary Boards. A former member of the Goodwill Methodist Church before it dissolved, Kathryn is now a member of the Presbyterian Church in Hastings where she is an elder. She also is a member of the women’s circle there She spent 20-years as a leader in the Yeckley 4-H Club, teaching sewing, food, and outdoor cooking among other subjects. She served four years on the State 4-H Council Kathryn Ferris, a hospital and community volunteer, has her favorite recipe for strawberry pie inscribed on a beautiful ceramic pie plate. The plate was a gift from Judy Martin w.io made the dish. and was its secretary during the last year. Kathryn recalls the days when she was the Service Club Advisor for 4-H. "We (two cobles) took 28 4-Hers to Virginia...We had a good time...and learned a lot,"she laughs. A member of the Hastings Women’s Club for about 15-years, she enjoys attending the club’s stitchery groqp and is currently working on a latch hook project. Kathryn also enjoys her membership in the Barry County Historical Society. Howard and Kathryn have two children: Beverly Hain of Carson City, Mi. and Keith of Grand Ledge. There are three grand­ children. Kathryn says one of her favorite hobbies is to spend time with her grandchildren. She also likes to play cards and enjoys traveling. "We both like to fish, but we don’t have much time to do that. I like to cook, bake and read. I like to do more than I have time for," she smiles. Kathryn's favorite recipe has an unusual story behind it. It starts when daughter Bev AVE OVER Portraits In the early horse and buggy davs and the early part of the 20th Century, the unqualified object of success in any household was the piano in the parlor. Sometimes there was a piano in a house in which there was no player. It just stood there, epitomizing economic security. It was not enough that the hulking dark rosewood upright or the vast black shiny baby grand simply smell of lemon oil: things were set upon it. There were domes of glass with stuffed birds inside with beady little eyes that never looked quite dead, and other domes with decaying flora that must have been the forerunner of today's dried arrangements without the modern preservatives. These contained macabre gray Queen Anne’s Lace and brittle dun-colored asters that kept deteriorating, despite the hermetic seal, into dusty flakes on the bottom. Also on the piano was a large covering to keep off dust between polishing days. This was usually a heavy shawl, preferably Spanish — a large square almost as big as a bed­ spread with fringe that could suck up more dust than a vacuum cleaner. Whenever the piano was actually to be played, the fussy accouterments on top was carefully removed and two persons lifted off the shawl to fold it Figurines and framed pictures were favorite objects to go on piano tops. In the homes of the elite, Doulton figures and Wedgwood Jasper mingled with sepia photographs of European royalty in silver or Chippendale frames. In lower echelons of society, spaniels in the Staffordshire style sat at either end of the upright, flanking Kewpie dolls, portrait post cards of Uncle John and Aunt Maude and, of course, wedding pictures. During the Victorian period, a truly charming bisque figure was produced especially for this purpose, ap­ propriately dubbed, "the piano top baby’’. It was flat along one side, and made to lie there and hold the shawl in place. The piano top babies came in many sizes and shapes, ranging from human baby length (18 to 21 inches) to little fellows only five to six inches long. They wore diapers, romper suits, funny hats, "uress-up" adult clothing, and frequently, nothing at all. A nude bisque baby of the right size could look alarmingly lifelike in the dim at­ mosphere of an early-day Victorian parlor. A nude human-size bisque baby was recently advertised by an antique dealer for $235, and most of the five to six inch ones bring around $85 in good condition. Small ones can be found at auction for less. Not all piano babies are reclining; some sit and play with their chubby little toes, or just dangle — that is, perch precariously on the edge with feet dangling. The latter were also used on mantelpieces, and considering the delicacy of the bisque material of which they were made, it is almost a miracle that any of these have survived. However, they do exist - pale, win­ some children - girls in oversized bonnets, boys in oversized stove pipe hats, and inevitably, bare legs and feet as if they had abandoned a game of dress-up and were ready to go wading in the nearest stream. Although all these babies are strictly ■ ornamental and should be classified as figurines, they are being widely offered in antique and collectible shows as "dolls", along with other bisques such as the two to six inch Japanese dolls, old Germans, and Frozen Charlie, and Charlottes. If you are interested in adding piano topbabies toyour collection, or starting a collection, look in the antique doll as well as the china departments in an­ tique mall shows or shops. Whenever they turn up, their charm is evident and irresistible. The old piano babies are always dressed in pale, muted colors, usually pale Hues, pinks and yellows. Hair is usually blonde or brown. The eyes are always painted. Soft old velvet albums with goldedged pages, rococco frames housing unknown ancestors, vases filled with wax flowers, shawls of silk and runners of Belgian tapestry, daguerrotypes and lacy fans — all these are collected and loved by those who enjoy the nostalgia generated by things past when en­ tertainment was a simple matter of gathering around the piano upon which the family treasures reposed in delightful confusion. Kathryn’s ‘Dump-Found Strawberry Pie’ was enroute to Florida and ordered a piece of strawberry pie at a restaurant. She was unable to get the recipe from the wa itress but she didn’t give up the quest. Back home, on a trip to dispose of some rubbish at the dump, Kathryn said Bev spotted an old issue of Family Circle in the trash. On the cover was a picture ofa mouth-watering strawberry pie and inside was a recipe that matched up to the one Bev had tasted in the restaurant. Since then, the recipe has been dubbed as "Dump-Found Strawberry Pie,” chuckles Kathryn. Ingredients: l*i-quarts strawberries (hulled); ^-cup water, ^-cup sugar, 3Tablespoons cornstarch, and vi-teaapoon salt. And one-pie shell. Take l-ciqp of berries and mash.

Kinney collection) by Esther Walton (Editor's note: Hie removal of the railroad tracks la Hastings recalls the beginnings of the railroad into town. The Centennial Edition of the Hastings Banner carried this story. Excerpts follow:) As late as May 22,1867, the Banner states that: "a large number of men are needed to work for the Grand River Valley Railroad in their line in this comty.” Steel rails seem to have been in short supply. Editor Dewey in the issue of April 1, 1868 announces that: "The Grand River Valley Railroad Co. has at last been able to buy the steel rails for that line from Jackson to Hastings.” By September the line had been completed to Charlotte with a daily train service bet­ ween that village and Jackson. A temporary stage line was established from Hastings to make connections with G.R.V.R.R. in Charlotte. Editor Dewey approved of this convenience and pointed out in his issue of Sept. 23 that “the trip only takes four hours.” One definitely sour note developed before the first train arrived here. The Banner issue of Sept. 23, 1868 points out that the new Hastings depot is being built in the second ward, a full half mile from the court house and goes on to say that, “It might as well be in Nashville, so far as convenience to the people of Hastings is concerned." But for a time after the first train arrived, criticism was forgotten. It was enough to have the trains coming here each day. Crowds Gather to Greet First Train Here School Pupils March in Gronp to Witness Big Event Feb. 22,1868 marked u great milestone in the history of Hastings — the arrival here of the first passenger train over the new Grand River Valley Railroad. There had been rumors of this rail connection for more than a decade. Now it was a reality. The little village was part of the world connected by rail to the thriving center of America. Construction trains loaded with men and materials extending the track on the Mid­ dleville and Grand Rapids had become familiar sights for several months prior to 1869. But on this great day of Feb. 22 - George Washington's Birthday - the first passenger tj-ain was scheduled to arrive. Crowds assembled at the depot (located at the east end of Green Street across State Street). Schools were closed and the pupils marched there in formation to witness this event. Among the crowd that day was an elevenyear okl youngster named “Marshy” Cook who never forgot the thrill of seeing that small wood burning locomotive with its huge smoke stack and short train of passenger coaches “puff and chug" into the station. “I remember” he said, "that we had to wait quite a time. Of coir se we were thrilled. Before that time our touch with the outside world was by stage coach with its four-horse team s and slow time. Now we belonged to the world, Hastings was a place on the map." The Grand River Valley line began at the Michigan Central Depot in Jackson and extended on the Grand Rapids via Charlotte, Nashville, Hastings, and Middleville. Its modest equipment consisted of four small wood burning locomotives and three passenger cars, and three express cars. Local interest in securing a railroad was aroused at least 12 years before the first train actually arrived. The Banner of Jan. 15, 1857 notes that Hastings and Middleville have become excited about a proposed railroad from Jonesville to Grand Rapids via Marshall, Hastings and Middleville. Following that, meetings to aid the project were held in all the villages along the route. Aside from all the discussion, nothing happened. However in 1863, the Nov. 11 issue of the Banner mentioned that “a surveyor has been in Hastings this week, who was surveying a proposed line from Jackson to Grand Rapids, to be known as the Grand River Valley Railroad." *u a 1 u; The Barry County supervisors at their • Stop as ii<n*l Muy.

Carlton, Balitmore, and Rutland each voted $5,000 to aid the G.R.V.R.R. Irving and Thornapple also pledged money. Individual gifts in Hastings and along the line were described as "large". Stock in the railroad was sold to Barry County people to make up the $150,000 which the county was expected to furnish for the 28-miles of line. By Sept, of 1866 the G.R.V.R.R. roadbed was complete almost to Hastings and George M. Dewey Editor of the Banner confidently predicted in the issue of Sept. 11 that: “ties, This time table for the Michigan Cen­ rails and bridges will be completed in 12tral Railroad went into effect in Nov. of months, and we will see the car coming into 1878.

Esther said she decided she wanted to pen the column “because I have the time to write and I thought it would be a neat thing to do. And I have a lot of rpatcrial.” She also plans to have guest writers from time to time and hopes that readers also will share information they have. "This is a give and take between readers and myself. If I get resporse back from readers with bits and pieces of information then I can put it together like a puzzle and then I'll have enough information to write another story." said Esther. In her own home, she has a library that contains files of material she has researched and secured from various sources. “I'm actively involved in the preservation of records. That’s been an ongoing thine with me tor years, rm an arcmvist by nature. 1 like to see to it that records are put where they can be safeguarded.

She has microfilmed old copies of the Hastings Banner and other old newspapers to help in her research of local history. She has also found that the old local maps by the Sanborn Map and Publishing Co. contain a wealth of information. From the 1884 map, for instance, one can learn that Hastings did not have a steam fire engine nor an in­ dependent water supply. Another excellent source of more recent history that she has in her possession is a document compiled by the local chamber in Either Welton, local hlstorlon, researches materiel for her new weekly Banner column. organized its first Folk Life Festival. Esther has been involved in many projects of a historic nature She is a professional historic preservation consultant and has written more than 90 state and national nominations toplace homesand buildings on historic registers. Some of her work has included Bay Pointe Restaurant (former Dwight Villa) on Gun Lake, the Barry County Courthouse, and the State Theatre in Kalamazoo "How to Document Michigan Houses, 1830 to 1930" was the subject of her master's thesis. She has researched many house histories locally including many on Green St. In other cities, Esther also has put her historical knowledge to work. She did a study for the Bloomfield Hills School District on the use of their one-room school for an educational, living history experience. In FL Wayne, Indiana, she served as an exhibit coordinator for the Lincoln Life Library and Museum and wrote a paper called "The Contents and Furnishings of Abraham Lincoln’s Last Springfield Office." Closer to home, for the Grand Rapids Public Museum, Esther coordinated exhibit information for the "People of the Grand." By appointment. Esther serves the Barry Coiaity Historian. The county board of commissioners appointed her to the non-paid post in 1980 to assess the county's archival needs and develop a record management program for all of its non-current records, in cooperation with the Slate Archives of Michigan. She’s also the historian for the American Association of University Women "doing all their work with the state of Michigan.” Currently, she's also involved in helping Barbara Furrow, historical society president, to preserve old cemetery records in the county on microfilm. Now. writing historical columns from the desk at her Green St. home will be a regular part of Esther's busy agenda too. She notes that the home she and her husband own once belonged to William Cook, former editor of the Banner.

The venture, presently in its infant stages, is intriguing, but like most newfangled ventures, also possesses its questionable side. In short, the enterprise can best be described as yet another chapter in the rapidly increasing story of cable television. It seems WDIV-TV Detroit has joined with Pro Am Sports System (PASS) to form still another brand spanking new cable television channel. Known simply as PASS, the channel plans on offering Tiger baseball games, Detroit Piston basketball, major college sports programming, and Kronk boxing — the majority of the programming being live. The PASS package was largely put together by former Tiger owner John E. Fetzer, known for 30 years as one of the most influential — if not cheapest — baseball owners in the country. A PASS spokeswoman says the company, located in Troy, has currently lined up eight Michigan cable systems and could add as many as 12 more stations to the fold before the scheduled April 17 airing debut. She says the company’s ultimate goal is to offer up to 20 percent of the state's million cable subscribers the chance to view PASS programming. Most of the cable stations that PASS has signed on are based in the Detroit area - a situation that may not change much this summer. Ken Wright, vice president-general manager of TRIAD-CATA Cable in Hastings, admits he’s seen the public relations blitz maintained by PASS and is currently on the company’s vast mailing list. Wright offers a Hike warm response to the channel (which is a completely separate station like the Disney orHBO channels) largely because of the $10-12 suggested retail price of PASS. “While they (PASS) is getting this publicity and exposure, people don’t realize it's going to cost them another $10-12 a month for PASS — more than any other service — for just a few hours a day," says Wright Add that to the fact TRIAD, ac­ cording to Wright, would be forced to add approximately $10,000 worth of new equipment, cools him on the idea of offering the PASS channel. He questions whether PASS is presently worth an estimated $10,000 investment. “It takes a lot of customers to pay off $10,000,” he says. Wright also contends TRIAD couldn't clear a station from current station programming even if it wanted to add PASS. The programming situation, he says, is under consideration at this time, and Weight wouldn’t offer any time frame when — if ever — a channel could be cleared. “I don’t want to come across like we've shut the door,” he says. "It's something the system managers and I have discussed from time to time." Wright says TRIAD isn't the only cable station to hold off from jumping on the PASS bandwagon. Wright says he recently attended a meeting of the Michigan cable operators where he found no other station which had signed up for the channel. “They thought PASS had potential, but the altitude there was let’s wait and see." contends Wright. Granted, there doesn't seem to be a colossal need at present for offering such a channel. It's not like television is lacking in sports coverage. TRIAD currently offers ESPN, with its 24-hour sports coverage; the USA Network, which is up to 25 percent sports, and also the Chicago and Atlanta stations, which both offer significant amounts of sports programming. And that's not even including sports programming of the three major networks. While TRIAD'S position on PASS may not fit into the "pioneering" category, for the sake of its viewers the station should look long and hard into the feasibility of offering the channel. As Wright contends the door shouldn't be completely shut. But for now it looks like the only places we're going to see Alan Tram­ mell and Lou Whitaker turn a nifty double play is on the Tiger network or in Tiger Stadium itself. Weather permitting, the curtain will rise next week on the six Hastings High School spring sports. And at this time of year any hardy spec­ tators planning on attending a meet, bailgame or match had better not forget to fill their thermoses with hot chocolate or lug along their Hudson Bay blankets. The snow may be gone and the days longer, but it's not exactly time to break out the sandals and shorts, either. All six Saxon teams have their respective openers scheduled for next week with five of the teams opening on the road. The Saxon baseball team, with Bernie Oom beginning his 19th year as coach, opens next Tuesday at Delton. The team's first home action is an April 17 doubleheader against Wayland. Hastings finished 9-15 a year ago^nd Oom greets eight lettermen back from that team. The weather, a key factor in the earlyseason development of a high school baseball team, has permitted the Saxons five days of full practices outside, says Oom. The team's first action of the spring will come today at noon with a scrimmage at Maple Valley. The Hastings softball team is also scheduled to open its slate at Delton next Tuesday. The Saxon girls, coached by Judy Anderson, open the home portion of their schedule on April 13 against Ionia. Hastings tied for the Twin Valley cham­ pionship a year ago and returns numerous key players including the entire infield. The team will also be bolstered by several jayvee players from a squad which also won a league title a year ago. The girls have been holding informal workouts this week with the full team Freeport managers to meet April 9 The Freeport Recreation Association will hold its annual pre-season managers meeting on Monday, April 9 at 7 p.m. at the Freeport Village Council Hall. It is important that a team manager or team representative be present to assure that team a position in a league (men, women or ct>ed). Anyone interested in bringing in a new team is welcome.

This week in outdoor Michigan General Outdoor Conditions - Days have been sunny lately (except for today) but temperatures have stayed cool and a stiff wind has kept the wind chill down low. Most of the snow has melted throughout the district, but everything is pretty soggy yet. Fishing: It has started picking up — steelhead are moving again and good suc­ cess reported at Berrien Springs and Allegan Dams. Brown trout are being taken off the South Haven pier. St. Joseph-Benton Harbor: Everything kind of broke loose yesterday. Pier fishing is great! Good baits are night crawlers, little cleos and KL wobblers. Mostly coho being taken with an occasional brown trout and steelhead. Trolling outside the piers with hotn-lots are producing good catches, also. Fish Division just started sotting nets for this spring’s pike-egg take project. This will continue on into the spring. Trout stamps are now available at this office and should be at license agents anytime now. Hunting - Turkey permits have all been mailed out and the refunds should be out shortly for those who were not successful. The leftover turkey permits were sold on a first come first serve basis to anyone who was unsuccessful in the drawing. Allegan had 48 left over, all of which went within a couple of hours on the 20th. That was the day they became available. opening practice next Monday. The track season kicks off next Tuesday with both the boys and girls teams traveling to Greenville for a triangular against the Yellowjackets and Ionia. The home schedule opens April 17 with a dual meet against Caledonia. The team was 6-3 a year ago and has 16 returning letterwinners including three seniors. The boys team, extremely young last year, is under the guidance of second-yei ? coach Jim Gibson. Jeff Simpson takes over the reigns of the Hastings tennis team this spring. The Saxon netters are the aly Hastings team afforded the luxury of opening at home. The team hosts Lakewood on April 10. Gordon Cole will be coaching the girls golf team, which returns to the school after missing last year due to a lack of numbers. The linksters open April 11 in Caledonia with the home opener slated for six days later against Ionia. Good smelt run expected Il's lime for anglers to begin preparations to scoop up bucketfuls of smelt during the annual runs in April and May, according to the Automobile Club of Michigan. The silvery fish which averages eight inches long and two ounces in weight is considered one of the Great Lakes' best tasting species, whether broiled, pan fried or deep fried in batter. Sixty Great Lakes smelt hot spots, in­ cluding Canada’s Point Pelee National Park and the Wheatley area southwest of Detroit, are listed on the Auto Club's 1984 Smelt Guide. Most Auto Club fishing contacts expect this season’s runs to be as good as last year, which was rated average. Best smelt runs usually occur between 10 p.m. and 1 a.m. in water temperatures of 40 to 45 degrees. Runs occasionally occur during daylight hours. Officials at Point Pelee have set extended hours for smelt dippers al the park from April 13-29. During those days, the park will be open until 2 a.m., but anglers must be in the park by 10 p.m. Park gates will close before 10 p.m. when the parking lot is filled. The Department of Natural Resources allows smelt dippers to use hand nets up to onehalf mile upstream from any river mouth from March 1 to May 31 south of highway M-72 and from April 10 to May 31 north of M-72. Large dip nets up to 9 * feet square are allowed by permit only on some streams. Hastings baseball coach Bernie Oom (middle) goes over some diamond funda­ mentals with co-captoins Joel Christensen (left) and Jack Moore. The Saxons open the season next Tuesday.

Sherman has been employed at the Hastings Post Office for 31-years and currently drives about 55-miles’ each day while he makes the rounds on his rural route. National Safely Council awards were presented to 10-other Hastings mail carriers for good driving records that range from one to 17-years. Receiving those awards were Gordon Howes. Don Hammond. Al Conrad, Jerry Finney and Lyle Conrad, all city delivery carriers; and Robert Brooks. Bob Wilcox. Marshall Greenleaf. Grant Robin­ son, and Wayne Morgan, al) rural carriers. Rural carriers in the Hastings area drive anywhere from 51 to 78-miles per day, said Brogan. The city carriers average about four to eight miles each work day. The award is given io the regular, daily drivers who have safe driving records, he said. The National Safety Council's Safe Driver Award program is designed to recognize expert safe driving performance, not just average performance. The award is based on the concept of defensive driving — the ability to avoid accidents in spite of the wrong ac­ tions of the other driver ano in spite of ad­ verse driving conditions. good driving records ore (from leti) Gordon Howes, Don Hammond.

Knights of Columbus plan annual fundraiser The ninth annuel fund drive to assist the mentally retarded locally and in Michigan win be conducted by the John V. Dillon Council 3447 of the Knights of Columbus on April 13, 14 and 15, James Metzger, council grand knight, announced. Last year, statewide, the Knights of Columbus, a Catholic men's fraternal society, collected 3828,000 in the three-day weekend drive. Locally, $2,000 was collected and donated to the Barry Intermediate School District, Barry County Social Ser­ vices, and Barry County Retarded Citizens Association. Under the program, which is carried out in most of the 270 K of C councils in Michigan, people are asked to donate money to the mentally retarded and are given □ Tootsie Roll candy in appreciation of the gif.. Eighty percent of the net income from the donations is retained by the 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 program and to make donations in behalf of the 71,000 Knights in Michigan. A principal beneficiary of state council funds is the Michigan Association for the Mentally Retarded Citizens. Other gifts also are given to organizations assisting the mentally retarded. State Deputy Thomas R. Clark of Ann Arbor, the highest ranking elected K of C official in Michigan, said there are over 300,000 mentally retarded citizens in Michigan. He said contributions from the public in the April 13, 14, 15 drive will go toward lessening the handicaps of the mentally retarded through training and professional services. “The donations to local organizations in the first eight years of the program by Knights of Columbus councils in behalf of their contributors proved to be a gratifying experience for our members who are asked to practice Christian charity as a principle of their membership in the Knights of Columbus,” Clark said. “We are looking forward to even greater participation this year.’' Citizens will be able to recognize the Knights and their helpers during the drive because they will be carrying canisters and wearing bright yellow aprons emblazoned with "K of C Help the Mentally Retarded”.

Those schools are Northeastern and Pleasantvirw Elementaries in the Hastings Area School District, the Delton Kellogg Elementary School, and the McFall and West Elementary Schools in the Thornapple Kellogg School District. To be eligible for the certificate, at least 75 percent of the fourth, seventh ar tenth graders in a single school must pass both the reading and math tests administered annually in September and October. The 1,511 schools that earned cer­ tificates represent nearly half of the 3,841 elementary and middle school and junior and senior high school in Michigan; Dr. Earl Newman, director of educational services for Hastings schools, pointed out that 78.3 percent of the district's students passed the math portion of the assessment tests, and 75.1 percent in reading. “It’s a rather stringent requirement thatoneschool would score that high on both test simultaneously,'* said Newman. Statewide, fourth graders fared better at math than seventh or tenth fn&m, while on the reading portion, seventh graders were the high scorers. In a letter to all superintendents receiving certificates for schools in their district, Philip Runkel, the state’s superintendent of public intruction, said "It b always welcome news to hear of school such as these where students and teachers are working to attain high achievement.” Local ball teams open seasons Banner’s 128 years reviewed Library plans to modernize Page 9 Page 11 Page 1 -j- ■ ■^^^Devoted to the Interests of Barry County Since 1856 Hastings Warrant sought for practical jokers Hastings City Police got the last laugh when they stopped three Barry County men in the process of playing a practical joke on a friend — but at the city’s expense. Police said they found two stolen city street barricades in the back of the trio’s pickup truck. Police said they will seek warrants against the men for larceny under 8100. Two of the three men reportedly told police they had stolen the barricades from the city garage on E. Court St., and had planned to use them “as a practical joke” by setting them in a friend's driveway. Value of the white and orange wooden barricades is placed at 825 each. ‘Right to Life' meets Tuesday State Rep.

Gordon Trick, deputy chief of police, said the truck, owned by Ralph Smith, Hastings, was used to deliver oxygen to the Provincial House. Trick said Smith left his keys in the vehicle, and that as he made the delivery, the resident drove it away. The truck was stopped a short time later by a sheriff deputy on M-37, near Middleville. Trick described the man as a recent transfer to the Provincial House from the Veterans Administration Hospital In Grand Rapids. No charges have been pressed. Banner Saxons take opener To many paopie, the start of the baseball season means spring.

Four other Hastings teams were in action on Tuesday. For more details see page 9. (Banner photo) by Robert J. Johnston State officials are projecting a $450,000 increase for Hastings in state aid next school year, but local administrators have doubts about their figures. State Rep. Donald H. Gilmer. R- Augusta, said Monday that the state aid formula approved by the House and sent to the Senate would give Hastings $450,000 more than the current formula. Gilmer made his remarks at the monthly legislative breakfast spon­ sored by the Hastings Area Chamber of Commerce at McDonald’s restaurant. Gilmer noted that the state figures are still tentative depending on action in the Senate. The formula is based upon two figures, the first giving a straight cash contribution per pupil and Ute second giving a contribution per pupil which is then multiplied by the local millage rate. Under the current formula. Gilmer said, the state is paying $328 per pupil for the first part of the formula and 859 per pupil for the second part. The newly passed formula would give $300 and $64 per pupil, The net effect would be to raise the state's contribution from $2,032.86 in 1983-84 to $2,149.34 per pupil next year. Hastings School Superintendent Carl A. Schoessel said that even though the state is giving an increase in state aid to Hastings, he doubts that it will amount to $450,000 because he expects local enrollment to decline. The state is projecting an increase in local enrollment. “Our figures show $146,000 to $200,000 more Enforcement begins on city rental ordinance by Ken Reibel Hastings is finally prepared to enforce its 1982 housing inspection ordinance, starting with the registration of rental property, said Richard Shaw, city attorney. Though Hastings notified landlords of the registration last summer, only 38 percent of the city’s approximately 800 rental units are registered to date. “I plan on emphasizing at the next city council meeting that we are ready to start enforcing the ordinance...Now that we have the manpower to do the job...We’ve had many citizens ask about the ordinance, and say they want it enforced," said Shaw. The manpower Shaw referred to is the city's newly-hired building inspector, Constantine Hunciag, who started work April 2. Previously, building inspections were performed by City Assessor Michael Payne. Ordinance No. 174, enacted Aug. 1, 1982, calls for a certificate of compliance to be issued to the owner of each rental unit, following an inspection. No person, states the ordinance, shall operate, lease or occupy a rental unit unless there is a valid certificate of compliance issued by the building in­ spector. The ordinance gave rental property owners 90 days from the enactment date of the ordinance, to register properties. The city again gave public notice to landlords in July, 1983 to register. Ordinance No. 174 makes it a misdemeanor, punishable by up to 90 days in jail and-or a $100 fine, for non-compliance. “We’re not out to fine people. We just want people to comply," said Shaw, who said the Continued to page 3 money in state aid next year." Schoessel said. He said that if enrollment were to stay the same as this school year, the aid would increase by some $339,000. Enrollment for the district, including fulltime equivalents in adult education, was 3.730. Schoessel is expecting that to drop to between 3,650 and 3,700. He said that the figure could increase if the district had good success in recruiting adult education students. Mary Kay Shields, a legislative analyst for House Republicans, said that the state is basing its figures on 3.853 students next year. The state estimated that Hastings had 3,800 students for the current year. 70 higher than lhe actual count. Schoessel pointed out that the increase in the local millage rale approved by voters last fall is the only reason that Hastings will be getting any more state aid the coming year. Voters approved an increase of 2.386 mills in October. "The new formula, as 1 understand it, rewarded districts with higher millage rates," Schoessel said. “We would have been hurt even more if we hadn’t passed the millage increase." Schoessel *s comments echoed Gilmer's. Continued on page 3 Shaw, Ainslie file for seats on Hastings Board of Education Ann Ainslie by Norma Acker Richard H. Shaw. 604 W. Walnut St., and Ann Ainslie. 801 W. Bond St., have filed petitions seeking election lo the Hastings Board of Education. The election will be held June 11. Shaw is seeking reflection and Anslie is making her first bid for the board. Judy Lenz. ..ho has served on the board for 12 years, has announced she will not seek re­ election. Both candidates are seeking four year terms. Shaw was elected lo fill the remaining two years of the term of Dr. Jack Walton, who resigned in 1982. “It’s a lot more fun lo be a member of a board when things are running smoothly," Shaw said. He expressed surprise that more people are not running and added that there are still many challenges to be faced. Shaw is an attorney with the firm of Siegel. Hudson. Gee. Shaw and Fisher. “I have always been interested in the school system." Ainslie said. She noted that she has participated in several school related projects but that her work with the curriculum study group intrigued her to continue to be involved. Ainslie feels that the system should be strong in all areas, kindergarten through senior high, and she said that. "We must constantly work to keep our standards high." Ainslie is a 1970 graduate of Hat ings High School and holds bachelor's and master's degrees in speech pathology from the University of Michigan. Her husband. Larry, is an attorney with the law firm of Siegel, Hudson. Gee, Shaw and Fisher. The couple have two children. Thomas, 4. and Elizabeth, eight months. Ainslie is an active member of the American Association of University Women and Pennock Hospital Guild 30. Hastings Library plans to modernize system by Ken Reibel The Hastings Public Library is set to be linked by computer lo a regional library system consisting of 2 million books, magazines and records over a seven-county area. Also included in the modernization plans is a computerized check-out system that utilizes the familiar “zebra bars” now employed by some super markets, and a plastic library card which will be honored in any library in the Lakewood Library Cooperative. Though Hastings has been par’ of the Lakewood Library Cooperative for about 11 years, the “inputting" of the library’s collection will make materials in other libraries more accessible to Hastings residents, and speed up lhe lime needed to order those materials, said Linda Lincolnhol. president of the Hastings Library Association. The total cost of the updated system will be about $24,000. The local share, about $13,000. will come from a bequest to the library from the estate of lhe late Wallace Osborne, a lifelong Hastings resident who died in 1981. The remaining $11,000 will be paid by the Lakewood Cooperative, and the Kellogg Foundation. The library board took the first step to modernize by contracting a full-time con­ sultant. Barb Furrow, at its Tuesday night meeting. Furrow, who holds a master's degree in library science from the University of Michigan, is not considered a part of the library staff, and will report directly to the board, said Lincolnhol. Lincolnhol said Furrow's job will be to "weed out" older volumes from the library’s collection, to supervise the “input” of library materials into a computer, and to mark each article with a zebra bar. Lincolnhol said the process could take as long as nine months. She said most of the inputting will take place in the morning, but some books may be off the shelves when the library opens. “We will try to keep the in­ convenience to patrons at a minimum," said Lincolnhol. Library patrons may presently request books by tide from the Lakeland Co-op. However, through the use of a computer network, patrons will be able to perform title, subject and author searches, and learn if a bode is checked out. and when it is due back, said Lincolnhol. The computer, known as the LIBS 100, also automatically produces overdue notices and bills, compiles detailed statistics on materials and patrons, reserves books, and even detects and traps delinquent patrons who have books overdue or owe money in library fines. The computer has been or­ dered. and may arrive sometime next month. The Lakeland system includes 63 libraries in seven counties, including all of Kent, Ottawa and Muskegon Counties, and part of Barry. Allegan. Ionia and Montcalm Counties, consisting of approximately 2 million books, records and magazines In addition. Lakeland patrons may order books from the 2-million volume Waldo Library at Western Michigan University, and lhe 3million volume Michigan Slate University library. Of the 63 Lakeland libraries. 33 currently have computer service, and 13 are in the process of inputting material. The Lakeland Library Cooperative office, loaded in the Grand Rapids Public Library, now contacts the Hastings Library three Continued to page 2 Members of the Hastings Library Board are (front, from left) Linda Lincolnhol. president.

When apathy strikes a community, little that is said or written makes a dif­ ference. People go about their daily lives ignoring hat is happening around them and only paying attention when an issue arises in their backyards or reaches into their back puckets. Monday was the deadline for filing nominating petitions for the Hastings Board of Education. Two seats are open, one currently being filled by Richard Shaw, who filed for re-election, and the other being filed by Judy Lenz, who is stepping down after 12 years of service. Only one person, Ann Ainslie filed a petition for that seat. Two years ago, the Hastings school system was in the depths of a financial crisis. The community was nearly tom apart by the differences of opinion over who was at fault and how the problems should be corrected. The teachers felt wrongly accused, the administrators were constantly on the hot seat and the community would not support any millage increase unless changes were made. When three seats came open on theschcol board, 11 candidates filed petitions. It seemed like everybody in town had a set of solutions to the problems. There was great concern over who would be elected and people turned out strongly to hear the candidate's views at various forums. Things have changed drastically. The schools are getting back on their feet. More money is available in state aid, voters approved a millage increase, the teachers and oilier contract groups have lowered their demands for wage in­ creases. The community support of the schools was resoundingly shown in the 75 percent approval of the millage renewal. And apathy is settling into our town. People will sit back and watch the world go by until we find ourselves in trouble again. It might be a contract dispute, a question of priorities in the curriculum, a raise in rates for athletic contests or a cut in music or athletic programs. It might be a call by the school board or administrators for even more millage. Then the people will rise up out of their easy chairs and challenge the decision makers. Or they’ll grumble ove- lunches or beers about an anonymous "they” who are run­ ning things however “they" want. Shaw has already pointed out that there are still challenges to be faced in the school district. Priorities still need to be set The curriculum is being studied and some of it will be overhauled. Before the term of the newly elected board members is up the millage increase will expire and the people will be arguing over whether the increase is still needed. The newspaper industry in general spends a lot of time defending the rights of the people under the First Amendment that guarantees a free press and free ac­ cess to information about their government and their society. We in the newspaper industry believe that people have a basic right to that information if we are to guarantee ourselves a continuation of democracy. Just as we were disappointed at the lack of a campaign and the lack of issues in the city council election last year, we are disappointed again at the apathy displayed by the citizens in this school board election. We have a great deal of respect for the two candidates, but without other candidates we will never have a true opportunity to discuss the issues and challenges from a variety of viewpoints. The national trend in decreasing voter participation that has been in evidence over the past 20 years is a dangerous sign of deterioration in the exercise of democratic rights. People die in other nations and have died in America during this century trying to obtain the same rights to vote and seek office that people in Hastings are ignoring. Your apathy shows that most of you don’t care. Library, Continued from page 1 times a week to take book requests from local patrons. Through the new system, the Hastings librarian will be able to call the co­ op office directly, and find out which library in the system has the book available. Patrons will also be able to call up a list of books by a certain author, or on a specific topic, and learn which library holds it Lincolhol said the board will look to pur­ chasing new books as older ones are weeded out. She said funding for new volumes could come from the $6,000 currently held in the library’s memorial fund, and from the sale of volumes weeded-out. Funding for maintenance of the system will be minimal, said Lincolnhol. Lakeland pays all initial phone line installation costs (thecomputer messages are sent over phone lines), and the Lakeland pays all monthly phone charges for the inputting period. After that, Lakeland pays half of all monthly telephone charges, with no library paying more than *30 n month. In addition. Lakeland will pay the library 10 cents for each volume inputted and marked with the zebra bar, and will provide Hastings with technical assistance and direction in setting up the system. The hiring of a consultant by the board reflects a change of philosophy on the part of the board towards library service, said Lincolnhol. "The board feels that it needs to, and in many ways wants to, become more involved in the operation of the library. We are really concerned with serving the public,” she said. Lincolnhol said the board has received complaints from patrons over the past regarding library help, and availability of materials. "The board would like to get the com­ munity more involved in the library, and make the library more in tune with what the community's needs are," she said. Burning of trash sets off grass fires Woman injured after losing control Hastings firetrucks responded to two grass fires Saturday afternoon, reporteoly touched off by property owners burning trash in the open. Both fires came in the afternoon. The first alarm was sounded at 4:16 p.m., at the Dave Case residence, 3425 W. Quimby Rd. Fire officials report that fire blackened a field, and spread to a small building, causing approximately $50 in damage. At 5:12 p.m., firetrucks responded to an alarm at the Clayton Hauschild residence, 2114 S. Broadway. Fire there scorched an area 30 feet by 230 feet. A 45-year-old Hastings woman received minor injuries, and a ticket for careless driving, after her van left E. State Rd. near M-66 early Sunday morning. State police from the Hastings team report Dolores Mae Frank, Tanner Lake Rd., was westbound on E. State Rd., and had just crossed the M-66 intersection when her van left the north side of the road and entered a ditch. Troopers say the woman drove out of the ditch, and reported the accident in the morning. According to the police report, Frank sought treatment for minor injuries in Pennock Hospital.

I hope not by Robert J. Johnston Two of my pet peeves are people that are selling something to me who give me poor service and people who waste my time. 1 consider them both to be rude. I won’t say that I've never been rude, never wasted somebody else’s time or that I've never pul my foot in my mouth when 1 should have bitten my tongue. But I don't make rudeness a practice and wish that other people would be as considerate to me as I try to be to them. This week I was in a local store making a purchase that required the assistance of a clerk. I had to interrupt a personal con­ versation between two clerks to gel service. Then, to top it off, when I was able to get service from one clerk, the second clerk interrupted the sale to continue the con­ versation. That was rude. It wasted my lime needlessly. Monday, I had a morning appointment with a politician who was coming to see me to introduce himself. About 45 minutes before the scheduled meeting, his secretary called to inform me that the politician would not be able to meet me at the appointed time. I was disturbed, but agreed to a later time Monday afternoon. Thirty minutes after the second scheduled appointment, the politician called to say that he was late (didn't I already know that?) but would be there shortly. It turned out that the guy was a likeable fellow, but he was inconsiderate of my schedule and I consider that to be rude. I don't consider my schedule unbreakable, but like most people, I have to organize my time to get my job done. I consider your time important when you meet with me and I like to think that you consider my time im­ portant, toa I won’t condemn all politicians, but they are at the top of my list when it comes to being rude in missing appointments. I've sat waiting for Gov. Milliken, Sen. Levin, Rep. Wolpe, Rep. Sawyer and Jack Lousma, just to name a few. If all of the politicans treat their constituents as badly as they treat newspaper editors. I’m surprised that they get any votes al all. One of my co-workers was recently in a feed store where he was making an $80 seed purchase. Because there was only one salesman available, his transaction was interrupted three or four times for the salesman to man the cas.i register for other customers. My cohort spent 25 minutes making his purchase. If the salesman would have taken care of his order, he could have been out the door in a few minutes along with the other customers. His time was wasted and that was rude. I'm no saint. I've kept whole rooms full of people waiting for me to take photographs. I've acted rudely and spoken rudely to people when I was angry and 1 always regret it later. I've been rude and 1 apologize because I don't mean to be. 1 make an effort not to be rude consciously. And. if I am rude, I try to make am mends for my actions — not ex­ cuses. but ammends. I can't excuse rudeness, even my own. A group of articles in Sunday’s Detroit Free Press gave the personal philosophies that guide five of Detroit's top salespeople to their success. Real estate saleswoman Nada Ilich, who sold $10.3 million worth of homes in 1983 says, "Serve the customer no matter what." She made $300,000 personally in commissions, last year. Ford's number one Michigan salesman in 1983, Richard Waach. says that he tries to make friends out of his customers. You don't make friends by being rude. Waach made $60,000. Joe Girard, who wrote "The World’s Greatest Salesman” and is listed in the Guinness Bock of World Records for his sales feats says, "You have to look in a full-length mirror each day and ask yourself, 'Would I buy me today?’ " Girard's law is that everyone has a potential sphere of influence of at least 250 friends, relatives, enighbors and co-workers. Think of how many people can find out about your rudeness. The top salespeople have some good advice for all of us, whether we sell a product for a living or not. Anyone who asks every day, "Would I buy me today?" can't possibly answer that question with a yes if he or she is rude. Your family doesn’t want to be treated rudely. Your friends won't be friends for long if you treat them rudely. Rudeness will taint your co-workers view of you, no matter how well you do your job. And your customers won’t be customers again if you treat them rudely. When I'm meeting somebody, whether it’s a government clerk, a retail clerk, a restaurant waitress, a secretary in an office, a politician seeking votes, a prominent lawyer or doctor, or the chief executive of­ ficer of a company, I don't like being treated rudely. A rude person on the service side of the coimter will breed a whole bunch of rude people who don't like the way they are being served. I've always been amazed at the number of rude people we encounter in the newspaper business. The prime example is the person who doesn't like a story that we printed. Most of them start their call by rudely telling me where I can go and what I can do with our newspaper. Obviously, by being rude to me, they are not likely to convince me that we are wrong. I'm more likely to be convinced by a person who tries to sell his or her viewpoint. Rudeness never sold anything. For myself, I’m not asking for a lot. I’m simply asking for you to treat me the way that 1 think you’d like me to treat you. And, if I’m rude to you, please be polite and tell me 60 that I won't be rude again. Pair of Allegan County men sentenced to 90 days for snowmobile joyride Two Allegan County men received 90 days each in the county jail, and three years probation for joyriding involving a snowmobile. Albert Lee Visser, 19,1348 Lakewood Lane, Martin, and Clifton Leroy Holmes, 85 118th Ave., Shelbyville, are charged with entering a garage on Russell Dr. in Yankee Springs Township last December, and driving the snowmobile away. Each man was assessed $350 in fines and costs, and ordered to serve 200 hours of community service. Judge Hudson E. Deming granted Holmes work release, and credited each man with 29 days already spent in custody. In other court proceedings: Betty Jean Mayberry, also known as Judy Mayberry. 26, 5033 S. Bedford Rd., Lot 51, Hastings, stood mute to charges of forgery and uttering and publishing. A plea of not guilty was entered for her by the court. Judge Deming set a June 11 trial date for Mayberry. She is charged with forging a signature to a check for $500, and cashing it Write us a letter! 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.

Welborn Like it or not, we live in a chemical world. Today, thousands of chemicals affect each individual life in many ways. From the cleaning fluids and medications in our own homes to the many hazardous compounds so vital to industry, we are exposed to a wide variety of chemicals — and we are worried about it. Which are dangerous or even carcinogenic? Which require special handling? Which should be avoided altogether? With expanded media exposure on all the controversial chemicals invading our work space and our atmosphere, uneasiness grows. That concern has spawned an issue that has been dubbed "Right to Know". Like all important topics, "right to know" is not without its controversies. Centering on the right of employees to acquire information about the substances with which they work, it presents one of the key labor and health issues facing the Legislature this session. The federal government recently issued a series of “right to know" regulations, prompting the question of whether we need a second tier of requirements at the state level. If so, how should Michigan's new requirements differ from the federal regulations? And what effect would this new burden have on businesses looking at Michigan as a potential location? The current legislation has been through six major revisions. The latest version seeks to simply implement the federal guidelines as Michigan's own. Its sup­ porters maintain that Michigan does not need to once again create a duplicative regulatory burden on top of existing federal regulatory law — as we did when we implemented superfluous “MIOSHA" safety regulations after the federal government passed theirs under "OSHA". The federal regulations, are, in many people's view, broad, sweeping and well drafted. First, they require all chemical manufacturers to place warning symbols and labels on hazardous substances. Second, manufacturers are mandated to prepare material safety data sheets, detailing potential dangers, precautions, and necessary safety equipment and emergency actions. Businesses, in turn, are required to follow the actions outlined, exhibit the warning labels, and institute training programs. The major unions, specifically the AFL-CIO. however, contend that the regulations do not go far enough. They want all contents labeled, whether they are considered hazardous or not, and they want a complicated chemical monitoring system, that would, in essence, require more union involvement. Business in­ terests contend that this would add useless time to an already thorough program, and endanger trade secrets. It is easy to appreciate why this issue has become so big and will be so con­ troversial in the coming weeks. It is expected that the state Senate will pass the federal guidelines as the Michigan standard, and that the House will pass a much more liberal version. The battlefield would then move to a Conference Committee for compromise. It is your "right to know” both sides. If you have an opinion on this thorny topic, get involved in the debate. PUBLIC OPINION and Elaine Gilbert Ban chemical weapons? at a Hastings bank. The crime of forgery is punishable by up to 14 years in prison, and uttering and publishing is also punishable by up to 14 years. Ronnie Pinks, 39, 11837 Lewis Rd., Plainwell, was sentenced to nine months in the Barry County Jail, and two years probation, for attempted larceny in a building. Pinks was originally charged with the Nov. 12, 1983 break-in of a Lewis Rd. home, and the theft of a gun. Judge Deming assessed Pinks $150 in fines and costs, and ordered him to undergo treatment for alcoholism. DonTylw Ruitall Knlwly Joe Roa Sandy Schondalmayer Walter D. Moore, 17. Kingman St., Battle Creek, pleaded guilty to attempted uttering and publishing As part of a plea agreement, prosecutors dismissed charges of forgery and uttering and publishing. Moore is charged with forging and cashing a $65 check at a Delton supermarket in October. 1983. Sentencing is set for May 18. Attempted uttering and publishing is punishable by up to five years in prison. 20-year-old Oakland County burglary suspect hangs self Sunday night A 20-year-old Oakland County man scheduled for a Friday pre-trial hearing in Barry County District Court on a charge of breaking and entering of a building hanged himself in his Davisburg home Sunday night, according to officials at the state police team office in Hastings. Kirk Timothy Rivers, Tindale Rd., Davisburg was one of three men arrested by state troopers Feb. 13 for the break-in of a garage on Peets Rd. in Middleville. The other two men are identified as Chester Robert Jones. 20, and Kevin David Reynolds. 20. both of Holly. Reynolds was sentenced Friday to three years probation and four months in the Barry County Jail, after pleading guilty to a lesser charge of entry without breaking with the intent to commit a larceny. Capitol Commentary Jones is scheduled for an April 27 pre-trial. The three men were arrested by troopers who responded to an early-morning call on Feb. 13 a Peets Rd. man who told officers there were several men with flashlights near his house. While en route to the scene, troopers ob­ served a lone car parked near the Keller residence, and followed it to the corner of Bowens Mill and Whitmore Rds., where they stopped it. «• Troopers reportedly questioned the three subjects, and observed several items in their vehicle, but let them go "because of limited information.” Troopers then returned to the Keller residence, where the owner described several items which he said were missing from the garage, including a refrigerator. hydraulic car jack, and a portable television set. A description of those items, said troopers, matched the items found in the suspect vehicle. Troopers radioed surrounding police agencies to be on the lookout for the suspect vehicle, which was stopped by Hastings City Police a short time later.

President Ronald Reagan proposed a worldwide ban on chemical and biological weapons. Ills speech followed revelations of use of such weapons by Iraq during its 41-month-long desert war with neighboring Iran. Do you think it does an' good to propose such a moratorium? Do you feel that chemical weapons are any worse than nuclear weapons? Don Tyler. Gull Lake: “I think chemicals weapons are worse than nuclear ones. I'm against chemical warfare because the chemicals spread quicker than firearms and that sort of thing. They've banned chemical dumping in some instances. If we get more into chemical weapons, we'll contaminate the Earth and atomsphere even worse. Thai's all we have to grow our food on. we have to protect the Earth and the at­ mosphere." Russell Knisely. Hastings: "I don't like the government getting involved with chemicals. There's too much hatred between governments right now. Iraq should stop using the weapons. As far as I'm concerned if a nuclear war starts, no one will be left on our planet." Joe Racz. Delton: "I don't believe Reagan is sincere in wanting to ban any weapon. His call to the Soviets for a moratorium on chemical weapons is nothing more than a ploy to make the Russians lode i»d Of course (the Russians) aren't going to ban the weapons, not as longas we have them." Racz said nuclear weapons and chemical warfare are both "abominable." Sandy Schondrlmayrr. Hastings: "Any kind of warfare is bad. but chemical warfare seems to fall into a separate class. Per­ sonally. 1 don’t think that Reagan's efforts will do much good. The Russians will do what they want to. “I've been behind Reagan on most of his policies. He recognizes that we have to deal with the Russians from a position of supremacy ...We wouldn’t negotiate very well in second place." Connie Kendall, Hastings: "It wouldn't do any harm. It would be a good idea if others would go along with it. It's a beautiful idea because I think everybody is scared." Concerning the question whether chemical weapons are any worse than nuclear weapons, she said, "I think they would be about the same. They would be doing the same (ultimate) damage." Nancy Robinson. Hastings: "I certainly agree with a ban. It should be worthwhile trying to get others to go along with the ban. They i chemical weapons) are no worse than nuclear." J>n Cooper. Nashville: "I think it’s a good idea to ban them but I'm not to sure that a ban is very effective. I don’t think that chemical weapons really are much worse than nuclear weapons myself. I think they are about the same. I think they're both equally destructive as far as human life goes.” Nancy Jones. Hastings: "I'm against both. I'm against war. We have to try anything." .she said regarding a ban. “Any step at all in that direction does good even if it effects one person. They 'nuclear, chemical and biological weapons) all are for destruction. One is as I Kid as the other. If you start saying that one is better than the other, then you are saying (here are good qualities in one and you can't do that because there are no good qualities.** �The Hastings Banner — Thursday, April 12. 1984, Page 3 Drilling of well approved by city council Work on drilling a new city water well could begin today following the acceptance Monday night by the Hastings City Council of a $26,780 bid from the Raymer Co. of Grand Rapids. The Grand Rapids contractor beat out two other bidders by more than $13,000 to drill on land that lies along the Thornapple River, northwest ofTyden Park. The city bought the 24-acre site in January as an extension to State did, continued from page 1 who said that it is the policy of the Blanchard administration and the previous Milliken administration to reward those districts that pass higher millage rates with more state money. He said the philosophy is to en­ courage more support of the schools by local taxpayers instead of relying on state aid. Gilmer added that districts like Maple Valley, with low local operating millages, are hurt by the slate aid formula. "The school districts in this area, except Maple Valley, are very close to the statewide millage average," Gilmer said. Schoessel said that any increase in state aid will be eaten up by projected increases in operating costs for programs in place and needed maintenance on facilities. "When voters approved the millage in­ crease we told them we would dedicate the money to certain programs," Schoessel said. “U e calculated increases in those costs each vear over four years and that money is Commission on Aging Senior citizens, low-cost noon meals are available through the Commission on Aging — Monday through Friday, at 116 N.

He said that if more money does become available, they already have a long list of items that need to be done. He said that in the maintenance area, the schools have set a hree stage program of priorities: items that iced to be done immediately; those that should be done in three to five years; and those that should be done in the long range if money is available. For example, he said, work needs to be done on windows at Northeastern and Central schools. He added that the heating system for the Central School, the Central Annex and the Junior High SchoolAdministration complex is old and needs to be improved. One item on the agenda for certain is improvements on the bleachers at the high school, which are the original bleachers and need to be repaired, he said. South Jefferson *3,000 *2,000 SLJW 1.

In other business: Council set a May 14 hearing date for a proposal to close Country Club Dr. north of Riverside Cemetery to the north city limits. Hastings City Attorney Richard Shaw recommended the closing al the March 26 Council froze the tax assessments on the Striker House for owners E veretl and ChiChi Bieber, as part of Public Act 255 which creates commercial redevelopment districts, and special tax rolls, for qualifying properties. Rental ordinance, continued from page 1 city will give landlords further notice to register. Shaw cited the “run-down conditions" of some rental properties as the reason for the ordinance. “What we're trying to slop is people who buy up older homes, rent them out, and run them into the ground," said Shaw. "When that happens, it erodes thb city’s lax base...One house can really screw up a neighborhood." Registration is free, although the or­ dinance does provide for a fee if council decides to set one. The ordinance further states that it is unlawful for a transfer of ownership to take place if the property is in non-compliance with the ordinance. Once the property owner fills out the registration form, he is issued an “interim" certificate, which allows him to operate the property as a rental unit until the building is inspected. Following an inspection which shows the building to be in compliance with the city’s housing codes, a certificate of compliance is issued by the building inspector. Dave Jasperse, chairman of the Hastings Planning Commission, said the need for a rental housing ordinance was recognized as far back as 1960. “There was a general feeling thai lheie was some deterioration in rental units ir. town," said Jasperse. Jasperse said the main purpose of the ordinance is to get on file the name of the person responsible for each rental unit. "We would like to keep property values up to par so tax valuations don't go downhill." said Jasperse. Jasperse said the initial phase of getting landlords registered and inspecting the properties will occupy the full-time at­ tentions of the inspector. "Our ultimate conclusion was that an assessor with the added responsibilities of the ordinance was more than one person could handle," said Jasperse. “However, once it's set up and going, 1 don't imagine it will be a full-time thing." Jasperse added, however, there will be plenty of other work for the building in­ spector. and cited Hunciag’s familiarity with computers. "We run an awfully lean city hall. In my opinion, we can use somebody else over there." Moose donates $150 Moose Civic Affairs Chairman Dave Bryan presents a check for $150 to Far North Neighborhood Girl Scout Chairman, Pat Elliott.

To be presented during the 10:45 a.m. workshop service, the musical is entitled. "We are the Reason.” Choir Director Rhonda Vincent and Ac­ companist Kim Schroeder have created the musical by interweaving contemporary music, scripture readings, drama and narration. The presentation attempts to answer the question: Why was the Easter ev^nt necessary? The ultimate answer. “We are the reason!” accounts for the title.

Walking down the road to Emmaus, two of His followers en­ counter the resurrected Jesus, but they do not recognize him (Luke 24: 13-26). As they walk. Jesus tells them what was said about himself in all the Scriptures, beginning with the books of Moses and the writings of all the prophets. Individual and small group selections for the musical will be presented by Molly Westrate. Chuck Wait. Joe Schroeder. Larry Vincent. Norm Weslrate. Dave Garrelt. Orphie Withiem, Linda Howell.

April 12, 1984, Page 6 what's cookin' Aud’s Antics... by Eltine Gilbert The curious lore of buttons This week featuring... As far back as 4000 B.C., buttons of chipped stone were used in Persia as personal seals. Over 2,000 years ago, the Eskimos were making scrimshaw buttons of old ivory which carried distinguishing marks representing family crests and designating on which island the owner lived. The Chinese would, and still do, use buttons to identify castes and groups. Ancient Greeks and Romans preferred pins over buttons for their flowing robes. However, in the 13th Century, with the advent of figure­ hugging dress, buttons became popular as fasteners rather than pure decorations and, by the 16th Century, although they retained their prestige value, buttons were in general use as such. Not much value is placed on the button today, but during the Civil War, Union buttons with "hens" (eagles) on them were greatly coveted for use by the starving Confederates as payment for a loaf of bread or a few sweet potatoes. Before the discovery of plastics, buttons were made of an almost un­ believable variety of materials — vegetable ivory from the seed, of the Corozo or Tagura Palm, bone, hoof, horn pressed into heated dies into which a design had been cut, fabric, shells of all kinds, precious stones, leather, rubber, ivory, pewter, tin, copper, iron, gold, silver, papier-mache, marble, glass, and hair, to mention a few. Such materials were carved, engraved, pressed, painted, inlaid, embroidered and braided. The subjects depicted on them in­ cluded animals, reptiles, insects, coins, insignia, heads, flowers, fruit, fables. Biblical scenes, vehicles, and buildings, among others. Political events were also popular subjects for button makers. Brass and other metal buttons were issued commemorating presidential cam­ paigns and inaugurations from the time of George Washington. For William Henry Harrison's campaign, his por­ trait, a log cabin, and a cider barrel were among the motifs utilized. Buttons have, of course, been made all over the world. Birmingham^ England has been famous for its metal and pearl buttons since the mid-18th Century. In 1750, the first American button maker, Casper Wistar of Philadelphia, turned out many brass examples. After the War of 1812, when our import supply was diminished, large quantities of various materials began to be manufactured here. In Waterbury. Conn., many brass and pewter specimens were made, and during the Civil War that dty was an important supply source for both the Union and the Confederate armies. In 1826, an unidentified New Hamp­ shire woman invented the first covered wooden button and by 1827 Samuel Williston of Easthampton, Mass, was manufacturing covered buttons by machine. During the 1800s, Bennington, Vt. and Norwalk, Conn, potteries made glazed pottery buttons with brown, green, or cream mottled coloring. By 1850, there were 59 button manufacturers in the United States. In 1879. the zipper was invented, but button manufacturers succeeded in keeping it off the market for 30 years! During the entire 19th Century. Patty Orr Patty Orr is the kind of person who seems to enjoy whatever she happens to be doing. For the past 16-years, she’s enjoyed being a homemaker and prior to that she liked working in the Barry County Cooperative Extension office. Now she's also looking forward to a new challenge, working one day a week assisting the secretary in the nursing office at Pennock Hospital. A recipient of a National Honor Society award in her senior year, Patty recalls that she didn’t have much of a summer vacation after she graduated from Thornapple Kellogg High School in 1959. “I went to work the following Monday <pfter p-aduation) and I worked for eight years in the cooperative extension office when Art Steeby was the director." That was when the extension office was located on the second floor of the county courthouse in Hastings. She also was on the staff when the office moved to its current location in the basement on S. Michigan. During her tenure at the extension office, Patty handled many general office duties including the large mailings and the disbursements of 4-H bulletins. "They were nice people to work for," she says of the extension office job. "I enjoyed working there. The school (T-K) helped me find the job. I had taken office practice classes." She left the extension office to accept a job at Lear Siegler, Inc. in Grand Rapids where she worked for about six months before marrying James Orr. who is now Barry County’s Undersheriff. Patty, whose maiden name is Hummell, has been a lifetime resident of Barry County, although she has lived at several different places within the county including Hastings. She was bom in Castleton Township in a house on Barryville hill, between Hastings and Nashville. "I arrived about 10-minutes before the doctor did," she laughs. She was the fourth of nine children. When she enrolled in kindergarten, her family lived on Norris Rd. near Baker Lake. The Orrs now reside nearby, in the Middleville area, and Patty says, "My kids ride about the same bus route (now) that 1 did." The couple’s children areCindi, 154, Tim, 13, and Steve, 7. Patty is a relatively new member of the Hastings Women's Club and served on the club’s Christmas tea committee. A member of the Presbyterian Church in Hastings, she also has been an active volunteer for the annual Cancer Crusade for a number of years. Patty also helps her husband in his part-time home-based sharpening business. Sewing and needlework are her favorite hobbies. "1 like <o sew and I've made a lot of outfits for myself. I’m making some curtains for my sister right now.” When daughter Cindi was younger, Patty enjoyed making all her clothes. She has also made outfits for Tim and Steve when they were younger. Lovely crewel embroidery wall hangings and one incorporating needlepoint and crewel decorate the 0ms’ home. They were made by Patty who says she is currently candlewicking a "welcome" plaque and has another project to start that involves crossstitch, candlewicking and regular em­ broidery all in one. "It’s relaxing,” she says cf needlework. I enjoy sitting down at night and doing needlework while I watch TV." Another activity she enjoys is watching her sons play soccer. When Patty is in the kitchen she says she would rather bake than do other types of cooking. A recipe for molasses cake is very special to her. It’s one that had belonged to her late maternal great-grandmother Coleman who lived in Grand Rapids. "It’s a real moist cake. The batter is thin when you make it. I like it best when served warm with whipped cream. But my kids like it best with frosting...If people like ginger­ bread cake, they should like this." Patty also shares a green bean casserole recipe that she enjoys serving for special times and when company is coming. It's a unique casserole and one that doesn't have mushroom soup in it, she says. Patty Orr, a Middleville area resident, enjoys using old family recipes, like this one for molasses cake which was passed down from her great-grandmother. Great-grandmother’s mollasses cake Ingredients: 4-cup si ortening, 1-cup sugar, 2-eggs. 1-cup dark or light molasses, 1-teaspoon soda. 1-cup hot water, 2-cups flour, 1-teaspoon baking powder, and 4teaspoon salt. (Dash of cinnamon and ginger optional). Mix sugar, shortening and eggs; combine molasses and soda and add to shortening mixture; add hot water. Sift together dry ingredients and add all at once to mixture. Bake in a 9 by 13-inch (greased and floured) cake pan at 350-degree until done — about 35minutes. Serve warm with whipped cream or cool first and frost with your favorite but­ tercream icing. Patty’s green bean casserole Ingredients: 3-Tablespoons butter, melted; 2-Tablespoons flour, 1-teaspoon salt. Measpoon pepper, 1-teaspoon sugar, 4teaspoon grated onion, 1-cup sour cream. 2 e.) packages frozen French-style green 5 (cooked), 4-lb. grated cheddar e. and 4-cup corn flake crumbs. Combine 2-Tablespoons butler and flour; cook gently. Remove from heat; stir in seasonings and cream. Fold in beans. Place in shallow two-quart casserole. Cover with cheese, then with crumbs mixed with 1Tablespoon melted butter. Bake in moderate oven (350-degrees) for 30-minutes. Serves 8. Library to hold contest this week National Library Week is April 8-14 and the Hastings Public Library is having a "Find the Missing President" contest for boys and girls up through the sixth grade. Bronze coins, minted by the U.S. Treasury Dept., will be ondisplay, along with books about the presidents. Each contestant will receive an entry form with two questions to be. answered and returned while in the library. One question is, "Which president is missing from the coins displayed in the case?". The other question will be a secret until the entrant sees it on the contest blank, but will also deal with the bronze presidential portraits. The first five contestants to answer both questions correctly will receive a gift cer­ tificate from Books. Etc., Honor of the prizes. Announcement of winners will be made at the end of Library Week. The coins will be displayed only during this week. Hastings Public Library is open 12:30 p.m. to7 p.m. Monday. Tuesday. Wednesday, and Thursday; 10a.m. to5 p.m. on Fridays; and 10 a.m. to I p.m. on Saturdays. All area residents are invited to visit their local libraries during National Library Week and to lake part in (he week’s festivities. buttons were often made at home from horn, hoof, bone, pewter, wood, leather or. more rarely, cast iron. Brass and wooden molds similar to bullet molds were used to make these buttons, but few survived. Il was during the 1700s that the most elaborate and beautiful buttons were manufactured — large Boulton type steels with cut steel ornaments riveted on top; engraved, etched, or enameled brass; cloisonne (a method of enameling in which the design is for­ med by separating the several colors with delicate gold or brass bands); intaglio (a gem or shell whose design is cut beneath the surface); and decorated ceramics. Wealthy men owned gold buttons and for formal occasions perhaps a set framed with garnets or amethysts or centered with a diamond or pearl. Late in the 18th Century in Paris, famous artists were commissioned to paint miniatures to be encased in glass and used as buttons. Fine craftsmen were also engaged to carve ivory, inlay tortoise shell, and engrave gems and mother-of-pearl. In these early days, men were the "peacocks" of the button world. A stylish man’s coat sported 35 buttons and his breeches 17, and even homespun breeches had a row of dime-size buttons sewed down the side of each leg and three large ones for the front opening. Buttons were often made in sets which told a story in pictures, but although picture buttons retain their allure, most found today are from the Victorian era. Women did not join the fancy button users until about 1850. Prior to that time, they used plain wood, bone, fabric covered, or tin buttons concealed under a fold of cloth. Puritan teachings deplored buttons as ostentatious and immoral along with dancing, ribbons, and any other frivolity, but by the mid19th Century, women were dazzling al) eyes with their brilliant cut steel but­ tons. Victorian ladies prized buttons made of jet, a solid velvety black substance found in beds of lignite or brown coal. These "jets" were popular mourning buttons alter the death of Prince Albert. Because of their softness, few have survived. Black glass buttons which closely resemble jet, but which are more durable, were often sub­ stituted. They were made in shiny, matte or combination finishes to denote the varying stages of motrning. Black glass buttons were often carved to display a sprig of flowers, or acorns and oak leaves, or faceted to have a pebbly surface, etc. Many were painted or enameled, incised with gold, decorated with silver or bronze, or inlaid. Glass buttons were also made in cranberry red, cobalt blue, green, yellow and an array of other colors. There were opaque blue and milk white examples and some in the painted style of Mary Gregory. Many collectors are enchanted by the 20th Century “Heinz pickle" buttons. Whether you choose expensive paperweight or jewel varieties or limit yourself to the 10 cent poke box, buttons will be as fascinating to you as they have been to others through the cen­ turies. These are pleasures unique to the lovers of antiquities. Subscribe Today!

Seeking millage increase June 11 HIRN Delton to ask for three extra mills Because of a sharp decline in student enrollment which means a substans tial cut in state aid funding coupled with increased costs of operation, voters in the DeltonKellogg School District will be asked to approve u three-mill tax increase on June 11. The ballot proposal will also include a request to renew 21.1-mills for operations which expired with the last tax collection. Voters will be asked to approve the ad­ ditional millage and the renewal for a threeyear period. The Delton board of education Monday voted to seek the increase in millage after a two-week study of a report from its finance committee. Two of the proposed additional mills are needed for operations to maintain the current programs being offered in the district, said Superintendent Dr. John Sanders. He said an attempt also will be made to upgrade programs specified as necessities by the needs assessment study and curriculum study which is currently underway. One-mill of the proposed increase would be earmarked for purchase of equipment and for maintainance, repair and alteration of '■chool facilities, Sanders said. Each additional mill is anticipated to generate about $121,000 for school operations. Increased costs of operation due to in­ flation contribute to the need for additional millage, he said. A drop in enrollment represents a large financial problem for the district, he added because state aid is based upon enrollment. Delton’s pupil count has declined by lut> students during this school year primarily because a number of families have relocated. “If we lose 30 students that equates to (a loss of) $60,000 or more 1 in state aid)," said Sanders. He said it would be detrimental to the educational program to reduce the number of teachers to balance the loss in students. The average teacher salary is in the neigh­ borhood of $25,000 which would mean that more than two teachers would have to be cut per 30-students from a staff that has already been trimmed. Sanders said the finance committee has held several meetings to try to find areas where reductions could be made in internal accounts. However, in recent years the board "has already gone through and tried to balance the budget by doing things in tl.at fashion. So we’re in a situation now where there’s no other alternative but to ask for more revenue if we are to maintain our programs. “We fee) that our kids are deserving of a quality education. If they are to compete in the market place they have to have a quality education. We can do it with this additional millage. Without it, we’ll be severely hurting our program because we’ll have to cut back our personnel to the point where it would be detrimental to our program," he said. In other business, the board ratified a contract with its cafeteria employees which provides for a two percent increase the first year and a five-percent increase the second year. The contract was extended to December of 1985. Cafeteria workers approved the new agreement last week. The contract increases the uniform allowance from $50 to $85 per year and provides for an increase in their insurance option from $5 to $10 per month. The board heard a report on the “school pride" programs which are ongoing at the elementary, middle and high schools. Scott Hull, president of the senior class, told the board that the high school will have a school improvement project on Saturday, April 28 with staff, parents and students volunteering to work to improve and brighten specific sections of the school. “We’re pleased to see nur parents and students taking an active part in this kind of thing,” said Sanders. The board also heard a report on the local scholarships that are offered to Delton students for use in furthering their education. The one-time scholarships range from $50 to $250 and include: School Em­ ployees Scholarship, Bus Drivers Scholar­ ship, the Lucy Boykin Scholarship, the Lowell Hofmeister Music Scholarship (for summer music study for middle and high school students), the Prairieville Old Fashioned Farm Days Scholarship for students majoring in agriculture or a related field, a new VFW Scholarship, and a new Nursing Scholarship in memory of the late Frances Young. Students who would like more information about the scholarships should contact Mrs. Knapp, the high school counselor. It was also noted that during the week of spring break, which begins Monday, the superintendent's office will remain open. T-K board ratifies bus driver contract School bus drivers in the Thornapple Kellogg School District finally have a new contract with the board of education for the 1983-84 school year. The new agreement provides for “slightly Cancer patients, families invited to ‘Focus on Living’ Insurance and hospital billing will be the topic when the "Focus an Living" support groqp meets at 7 p.m. Tuesday, April 17 in the board room at Pennock Hospital. Cancer patients and members of their families are welcome to attend the “Focus on Living" program, sponsored by the Barry County Chapter of the American Cancer Society. The program has been organized as a mutual support group for cancer patients and families and meets every third Tuesday of each month. A variety of topics are presented. At this Tuesday's meeting, Karen Marr and Wade Nitz of the hospital staff will present the program. Persons should come prepared with questions about their specific policies. Recent changes in hospital reim­ bursements also will be discussed. more than a three percent wage increase,’’ said Superintendent Gerald Page. There were no significant language changes in the contract. However, a twopage provision relating to maternity leaves was updated with a more modem concept but that policy remains essentially the same, he said. Four candidates have filed petitions for the June 11 election to seek the two available seats on the school board: Gary Van Elst, incumbent; Wesley Van Rhee, incumbent; Patricia Moretti, end James B. Verlinde. The four-year terms begin on July 1,1984 and expire on June 30, 1988. In other business, the board: —Hired David Kenyon as the new tran­ sportation manager. He has been working as a mechanic in the bus garage. Kenyon replaces Harold Nichols who resigned because of health reasons. —Accepted the resignations of Bob White, currently a high school math teacher and former football coach, who is retiring; and Patricia Sperla, a special education teacher who had been on a leave of absence. —Awarded a garbage disposal contract to Van Dyken Refuge Service of Gun Lake at the rate of $150 per yard. —Accepted four tui'ion students for the 1984-85 school year: Melissa and Kaileigh Campbell of Delton and Michael and Jonathon Sarver of Caledonia. Their parents are both teachers in the Thornapple Kellogg district and the students have been attending T-K schools in the past. /MACHINERY starting it 10 8.M.

Harold Sawyer came to Hastings, Monday, to announce their intentions to run for the post State Sen. Paul Henry attended the monthly legislative breakfast sponsored by the Hastings Area Chamber of Commerce at McDonald's restaurant to make his an­ nouncement and Keary Sawyer, a Grand Rapids attorney who is the son of the current congressman, traveled through the district Monday and Tuesday to announce for the seat. The Fifth District inchides the city of Hastings and the eight northern townships in the county. At the breakfast, Henry received the en­ dorsement of State Rep. Robert Bender, RMiddleville, and State Rep. Donald H. Gilmer, R-Augusta. Henry is in his first term as a state senator and chairs the Committee on Education and Health. A graduate of Wheaton College in Illinois, he served as a Peace Corps volunteer in Liberia and Ethiopia. Upon his return he earned master's and doctorate degrees in political science from Duke University. In 1968, he joined the congressional staff of Rep. John B. Anderson of Illionois. From Stole Senator Pool Henry (left) appeared at Monday', legiilotlve breakfast to Kaory Sawyar 1970 to 1978 he served as a political science professor at Calvin College in Grand Rapids. During those years, he served as secretary to the Kent County Republican Committee, two years as chairman of the committee and two years as chairman of the Fifth District Republican Committee. Proposed school use policy won’t affect groups by Norma Acker A proposed policy outlining use of school buildings won't affect the groups using now using them. That's the conclusion of the Hastings school superintendent, and the director of the group that uses the schools' facilities most. "The new policy concerning the rental of school facilities will not affect our program any more than it already has," said Dave Storms, director of the Hastings YMCA Youth Council. Superintendent of Schools Carl Schoessel said that the policy has been in effect for a few years, but that this is the first time it has been committed to writing in great detail. Schoessel said the only change in the proposal is the one which increases utility costs to the user from $3 to $5 an hour. The Hastings Board of Education will vote on the adoption of the policy Which sets guidelines and fees for building usage of the school by community organizations and outside groups at the April 16 meeting, to be held in the Junior High vocal music room at 7:30 p.m. The policy outlines four classes of users: — Class I users are school groups involving student and staff members sponsoring ac­ tivities — Class II includes school related or government groups which includes the Y.M.C.A. Youth Council or governmental units within the school district. — Class III includes community, civic, and religious groups whosse members are residents of the school district. — Class IV includes commercial and private groups which operate for personal or private use The policy provides guidelines for the use of auditoriums, lecture halls, cafeterias, gymnasiums, athletic fields and classrooms. Groups in Class I will not be charged for most uses, Class II will pay no rental fee but will pay for utilties and labor costs on an overtime basis which includes weekends and weekday evenings after midnight. Groups in Class III will pay for labor and utility cost plus a rental fee that ranges from $10 for classroom use to $100 for use of "large spaces” which includes the Central Elementary Schoo) auditorium and the high school gymnasium. Schoessel said that the reason for setting guidelines and fees is to "preserve the educational budget for education.” Storms called the utility rates reasonable and noted his office has been paying "token amounts” or “custodial costs" for years. He explained that the challenge for his group will be underwriting the custodial costs on weekends. Storms estimates that the youth council spends between $1,000and$1,500 per year for Saturday youth programs. In the past, weekends have been un­ derwritten by adult programs and Storms hopes that this will continue. Storms feels it is good for the schools and the community to have people involved in activities at the schools. Robert Miller, director of operational services, said if the policy is approved it will be carried out at the administrative ievd. There will be no need for individual requests for usage to go before the board of education. Miller said the utility charge covers the cost for lights, water, beat and sewage and he calls the $2 per hour increase "nominal." Miller also explained that labor costs will vary because custodians are assigned to overtime work on a rotating basis. Miller said the overtime rate could vary between $8.25 to $12. He emphasized that the kids programs are free. "We want to guarantee that the money collected in the taxes goes for the education of the youngsters in the school district," Miller said. The policy also states that once an ap­ plication has been approved, the applicant or organization making the request will be responsible for all damages and personal injury resulting from the use of school property. ‘’ndldoc>' ,0' Conpre,,. With him oro Rep. Robert Bender. RMiddlaville, and Rap. Donald H. Gilmar, R-Augusta. He also has served on the board of a Grand Rapids pro-life organization, the Grand Rapids Council of Churches and several other cultural and civic organizations. In 1975. he was appointed by Gov. William G. Milliken to a seat on the State Board of Education, where he served for four years. In 1978, Henry won an open seat to the state House of Representatives and was selected by his colleagues as assistant Republican floor leader. He won re-election in 1980. In 1982, be was elected to the state senate in the 32nd district. Sawyer, 33, has practiced law in Grand Rapids for six years, primarily as a trial lawyer. He is currently with the firm of Timmons and Sawyer, which he formed after leaving the firm of Murphy, Bums, McInerney and Sawyer, last week. Greg McInerney, his former partner, is expected to announce as a candidate for the election as a Democrat. He graduated from lhe University of Colorado in 1973 with a major in political science and business. He earned his law degree from the Vermont Law School in 1978. Since returning to the Grand Rapids area, he has served for four years on the executive committee of the Kent County Republican Party, as a member of the board of directors of the West Michigan Environmental Action Council for two years and in various fun­ draising activities. He is a member of the Negligence Section of the Michigan State Bar. the Grand Rapids Bar, the National Bar Association and the Michigan Trial Lawyers Association. He intends to focus his campaign on the need for new job opportunities, attracting business into the area and improving the business climate in western Michigan. Other districts’policies vary Policies regarding use of school buildings by groups in surrounding school districts vary, a survey of those districts reveals. William Eckstrom. superintendent for the Lakewood School District, said there is no charge during the week while custodians are in the building for groups and organizations within the school district. Other guidelines set down for building use in Lakewood include no building use prior to 11 a.m. on weekends, and no charge for utilities. Groups, however, must pay 1'2 times lhe wage rate for one member of the cooking staff to be on hand when the cafeteria is being used. Eckstrom said his district discourages building use by profit making organizations, but “weighs each request on merits and charge accordingly." Thornapple-Kellogg policies are similar to Hastings'. Community groups and organizations are charged through the week atacostof$10a night for private use. Cost of weekend use goes up — $10 a night, plus 14 time for custodians on Saturday, and double time Sunday. Custodian wages in Middleville run about $8 to $12 an hour. Use of the gumnasium or auditorium for a public event costs $25 an evening, plus custodial costs. Church groups also pay $25 and hour. * Cost of a lighted field for little league costs $25 an hour, plus custodial fees. Hastings Junior High Honor Roll 8TH GRADE 4.0 - Todd Clarkin, Andy Furrow.

Mr. Storms, how's that golf clinic coming anyway? Wonder if Morgan Fairchild plays croquet. Hey. if you don't like this column I'm always open for other ideas. This job isn't as easy as it looks. Expensive lesson to learn Never, repeat never, bet on DePaul in the NCAA tournament. Why don’t they sell hot dogs at Hastings baseball games'’ Bet they'd gel more coverage if lhey did. Having Lakeview in the Twin Valley nexl year is going to make it an allaround tougher league. �The hostings Bonner— Thursday.

Page 11 Airman completes communications course by...Esther Walton Air National Guard Airman 1st Class Larry D. Sullivan, son of Ross J. and Mary E. Sullivan of 3812 Baldwin Rd.. Hastings, has graduated from the U.S. Air Foretwideband communications equipment course at Keesler Air Force Base. Miss. Graduates of the course were taught to install, operate and maintain special radio A History of The Banner In 1956. the Centennial Edition of The Hastings Banner. Richard Cook wrote a brief history of The Hanner. The following excerpts are from Mr. Cook's history. Newspapers followed the pioneers into the new villages and settlements of Michigan, usually to support a political point of view. C.S. Burton & 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. Publication office was on .he second floor of the Rower Block, whose ad­ dress was given as “corner of Slate and Church” which corner was not specified. Dr Burton was the first homeopath physician in Hastings. 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. The old files of “Volume I” that have been preserved carefully through the years began with Issue No. 4, published'on May 22, 1856. 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 par­ ticular news value. Page one was the “literary” page. Page two contained the editorial barbs, along with state news, political articles, Washington items and news of the national and territorial govern­ ments. Page two was the editorial, feature page. Page three contained a few items of local news, sandwiched in equipment, and earned credits toward an associate degree in applied science through the Community College of the Air Force. Sullivan is scheduled to serve with the McKinney POURED WALL CO. Another major change in the management of The Banner came when Nevins sold the newspaper to George M. Dewey if Niles on March 14, 1866, who then took over as editcr and publisher. Dewey, an ardent Republican arid 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 formal (and name) of the paper to the "Hastings Republican Banner". He (changed: the format by increasing his page size to 21x27%, 36 column sheet. Making quite an area of paper for his readers to handle — the double page spread was a full 3«a feet wide. Hastings had a daily “evening" paper for 30 eventful days ff-om Tuesday. Aug. 15, through Wednesday, Sept. 13. 1871. These specials, published in the late afternoon, each Monday through Saturday, during the above dales, were Io cover the Vanderpool trial, a sensational murder case that gained statewide attention. The case originated in Manistee, (but: Hastings was selected for the new trial because it was near to Kalamazoo where Van­ derpool was being held after removal from Manistee. Hastings was also selected because it was thought that the problem of selecting an impartial jury would be easier in a small community. So the little village of Hastings found itself involved in a terrific court battle. Editor Dewey rose to the occasion and gave the trial "full treatment" for 30 days and scooped (at least locally) every other daily publication in Michigan on a headline news event. It was a remarkable performance for Uoking... FOR THE BESTNEW ALUMINUM FORMS, for the best BASEMENT possible SEA WALLS. TRENCH SILOS, FARM WORK. 963-6786... 945-2554 FREE ESTIMATES • 24-HR.

He recently spent one weekend in Nurnberg which he says was exciting, although the weather was a disappointment Legislation for tax credits introduced Michigan taxpayers who make con­ tributions to private or public colleges and universities in the state would receive a greater tax credit under legislation in­ troduced by Senator Bob Welborn (RKalamazoo). Under the present Michigan law a person making a financial contribution to a public or private college or university in the state can claim a tax credit on their Michigan tax return of up to $100 or, if filing jointly as husband and wife, up to $200. Under the Welborn proposal (Senate Bill 706) the tax credit would be increased to $500 fora single person and $1,000 if filing jointly. "Because colieges and universities are having a difficult time raising funds, an increase in the tax credit would provide a greater incentive for citizen and alumni contributions," Welborn said. Welborn, who serves on the Senate Ap­ propriations Committee, said the increased incentive would also serve to help focus our need to restore a high priority on the quality of education in Michigan. "It would be especially beneficial to colleges and universities during these tough economic times when you consider the number of companies and corporations that have programs which provide matching funds to the contributions made by their employees to institutions of higher learning in Michigan," Welborn added. The Welborn bill has been referred to the Senate Finance Committee. b,cath,rinaLucas ui (hat particular lune.

Lt Richard Zimmerman of the state police team in Hastings said that Joseph Donald Joiner, 19, Steven Scott Cody, 21, and William Elbert Miller, 33, have been charged with the burglary of the Chris Kardas residence on Charlton Park Road on March 18. Zimmerman said that they took antique clocks, binoculars, brass and bronze items, pocket watches and jewelry from the Kardas home. Joiner is lodged in the Barry County Jail Bender speaking this weekend state Rap.

The growth in the labor force and a substantial increase in em­ ployment helped to lower the state’s unadjusted jobless rate by a tenth of a percentage point during the month to 12.5 percent. S. Martin Taylor, director of the Michigan Employment Security Commission, reported today. The number of people in the state’s labor force grew by 51,000 during March climbing to 4,296,000. The number of people working during March grew by 48,000. Total em­ ployment during the month stood at 3,757,000. In February 3,700,000 workers were employed. Taylor attributed the increase in Michigan's employment to good job gains in the retail and service in­ dustries and limited pickups in the manufacturing industry. The state's jobless total remained virtually unchanged from February with 539,000 workers unemployed during March. The current rate of 12.5 percent is well below last year’s when the March 1983 rate was 17.0 percent with 722.000 out of work. Price 25* and the other two men are in the Calhoun County Jail. Detective Bert Lardie of the Battle Creek state police post said that he doesn't yet know the total of the number of burglaries committed by the men in Barry County, but they hope to confirm four or five cases. "We expect to have additional people arrested,” Lardie said, "possibly three, maybe four.” He said that the ring has been hitting two to three places a week since 1982 and selling the stolen goods to a Battle Creek "fence". He added that the alleged burglars would take what two people could carry out, primarily jewelry, silverware and antique clocks. "Very rarely did they have a house cleaning,” he said. Zimmerman said that right now the Hastings team is looking into a burglary on Laccy Road to try to connect it to the group. The problem, he said, is that because of the number of incidents, a lot of times the suspects couldn't remember where they had hit. Detective Sgt. Kenneth DeMott of the Barry County Sheriffs Department said that he was reviewing his files to determine how many burglaries he could tie to the ring. Because the reports are filed under the names of the victims, he said, the buglaries take time to trace. "They’ve implicated some other people that we don't have in jail," DeMott said, "so there may be some more prosecution." He said that he was investigating two specific burglaries at the present time. Lardie said Lhat the various police agen­ cies involved in the investigations were to meet on Wednesday afternoon to review their records. Man killed walking on M-37 April 11 on Friday.

Schools set up program for gifted and talented by Norma Acker The Hastings Board of Education learned, Monday, that work is underway to formally develop a program for the ten percent of the district’s students who are gifted and talented. Making a presentation to the board were Dr. Earl Newman, director of educational services; Dr. Joyce Newhouse, Pleasantview Elementary School principal and coordinator of the gifted and talented program for the school system; and Central Elementary School teachers Emmalene McConnell and Audrey Renner. The program is identifying gifted students as those whose talents allow them to perform beyond their grade levels. Newman said that the students are not easily categorized and that there are varying degrees of "giftedness.” Six categories of giftedness that are traditionally used are visual arts, math-science, athletics, per­ forming arts, humanities and practical arts, the educators said. "We need to consider as many of life's potential achievements as we can." Newman said. Resources currently being used in the program are faculty members, people with opportunities from the community and those from outside the community. "Through these resources, enrichment opportunties, advanced classes and com­ petitions can be offered as well as continued curriculum innovation,” Newman told the board. He called the program a blend of new and old ideas and strategies. In August, the board amended the budget to provide $2,992 to the Barry Intermediate School District to cover the costs of the program. This money allowed the program, which was previously informal, to take a more formal direction in development. Newman explained. "We hope Io match or exceed last year's funds if resources permit." he said. Goals for the program include developing objectives, building a solid structure, con­ tinuing to develoD new instructional strategies and eventually to be able to present a philosophy statement to the board, Newman said. "We want to pull existing programs together and give them a focus," he said. Joyce Newhouse told the board that educators must remember that not all students with special abilities and talents will go on to college. "They must learn to interact with children of all ability levels and interests, she said. Newhouse cited a ten part plan for program development. Some items are Troopers from the Michigan State Police team are investigating the April 11 death of a 27-year-old Kent County man struck by a car as he walked down M-37 south of Hastings. Keith Allen Timmer, 27, of Wyoming, was found lying in a ditch on M-37, near River Rd., by two state troopers on routine patrol about 11 p.m. The man was rushed by Hastings Ambulance to Pennock Hospital, where be was pronounced dead at 12:22 a.m. by Dr. Dale McNinch. Troopers say Timmer was struck by a vehicle driven by Charles Gaskill, E. Dowling Rd. According to Lt. Richard Zimmerman of the Hastings state police team, Gaskill was southbound on M-37 at about 10:55 p.m. when he "felt his truck hit something”. According to Zimmerman, Gaskill said he thought he had hit a deer, and made three passes by the area to see if he could spot it. On the third pass, said Zimmerman, Gaskill observed some shoes and sox, apparently Timmer’s, lying by the roadside. At that point, said Zimmerman, Gaskill drove to the Barry County Sheriff Dept, for assistance Shortly thereafter, Timmer was discovered by the troopers. Zimmerman said Timmer was dressed in a black leather jacket, and blue jeans, making him difficult to see in the dark. Continued to page 2 Bender to seek re-election State Rep. Robert Bender, RMiddleville, Wednesday announced that he is seeking re-election to the Michigan House of Representatives. Bender won his seat in 1982 in the newly created 88th District over Democrat Robert Edwards of Hastings. The election was one of the closest for a state house seat in this area in memory, with the winner edging out his opponent by 1,000 votes out of 28,100 cast. Bender said that during his first term in the house, he placed a high priority on keeping in direct contact with the people in the 88th District. "This has been a great help in belter representing the views of my con­ stituents and will become even more valuable as I look forward to another term and increased responsibilities in the legislature." Bender said. He is a Barry County farmer and former chairman of the Barry County Board of Commissioners. Also a former Navy pilot and .squadron commander. Bender is the Republican vice-chair of the House Miltary and Veterans Affairs Com­ mittee. He also serves on the house agriculture, corrections and social services committees. Because of the 1983 redistricting law, the 88th District has undergone some changes. The district formerly included all of Ionia County and most of Barry County, except for Thomapple and Yankee Springs Townships. The new district includes all of Barry County, parts of Ionia County, the townships Boston. Berlin, Campbell, Danby, Lyons. Odessa. Orange. Portland and Sebewa; three townships in Allegan County. Leighton. Martin and Gun Plain; and Bowne Township in Kent County. John Warren (left) and Mike McKay, co-chairmen of the organizing committee for SummerFest, are looking for sponsors to donate money to fund this year's event. Hastings SummerFest plans unveiled for‘84 by Steve Horton Summertime still seems just a bit off, but the subject— in particular a weekend in late August— was the topic at Tuesday's Open Forum meeting of the Hastings Area Chamber of Commerce. At that session plans for this year's Hastings SummerFest. scheduled for Aug. 24-25, were unveiled by John Warren, cochairman of the organizational committee. Describing the gettogether as a "kick-off to let the media and public know what we're doing", Warren told the gathering that plans for the event were nearly finalized. "Not everything is in the hopper, but we're real close to having everything wrapped up," he said. This year’s SummerFest, which Warren said "should be better than ever", will feature some changes in entertainment and presentation, but will retain many of its popular attractions. One important difference, he noted, was the simultaneous staging of the Barry County Fiber Festival, scheduled the same weekend, at the fairgrounds. "It doesn't have any particular relation­ ship with our festival except that it’s the same time," Warren said. “We are working with them to promote both events." He added that Charlton Park is holding its Antique Fire Engine Show that Sunday, providing an "awful lot to do in Hastings from Thursday through Sunday". Warren said the committee was also considering a kick-off musical show at Central Auditorium on Thursday night. A barbershop quartet and tenatively a Sweet Adeline group would perform for a small admission charge. Proceeds from the show would be split between the groups and SummerFest. Warren said. He also said that the Friday night en­ tertainment was being changed “We’ve gone with the line-up we had for around five years," he said. "We wanted to provide different sounds and faces for people this year." New attractions on Saturday include a Civil War band and two dance groups for the parade, plus entertainment during the day b’1 the 4-H Performing Troupe who sing, dance and stage some drama. Warren said the parade, overall, would be bigger because the committee has com­ mitted more dollars to it. Along with the new entries, the high school band, a German band, and the three Shriner bands will be back. Other familiar SummerFest sights returning again are the Gospel groups, the Fiddlers Contest, the Clark Family, the bike tour, the long distance run. the Civil War reenactment at Tyden Park, arts and crafts displays, a softball tournament, a bed race, a variety of youth activities, plus plenty of concession tents and stands.

April 19, 1984, Page 2 VIEWPOINT Papers fly at pre-trial Commentaries from our editorial staff and the community - Editorial Cleaning Up Rental ordinance will improve city The city government has embarked on a new course aimed at improving and maintaining property values. Alter a delay of IS months since the “rental property ordinance" was approved by council, and a much longer time period since city officials recognized the growing problem of deteriorating rental bousing, moves are being made to implement the law. This month, Constantin Hunciag began work as the new city bousing officer. BUCK CANCER The Banner supports the council's efforts to Improve the quality of rental property. The ordinance was adopted in response to citizen complaints about poorly maintained homes that are eyesores in otherwise nice family neigh­ borhoods. Good citizens who maintain their homes and support strong property values don't deserve to be subjected to rundown rental property next door. Allowing this Ik a 'Huck' to occur is unfair to homeowners and poor business management for government since most of the money that local governments and schools operate on are generated from property taxes. It has been since the late lira's and possibly even earlier since city officials recognized the need for the ordinance. This time lapse has been longer than desirable because the problem has been growing. But the time lapse enabled the council and the planning commission to examine ordinances and enforcement policies of other towns and to take the best ideas from several communities. The ordinance, if enforced with common sense and not by reflex rulebook regulation, shouldn't be a burden on those good landlords who maintain their property now. It should, however, enable the city to force poor landlords to im­ prove their properties. The good landlords will merely have to register with the city and allow their property to be Inspected. The city is not charging a registration fee. This community has changed substantially. City officials estimate that 800 of our 2«» housing units are rental properties. Though no hard statistics are available, it appears that the number ot rental properties has Increased tremendously in recent decades. Many of the rental properties do not even have local landlords and this has made it difficult for the city to put pressure on the owners to make improvements. Other landlords ignore complaints. If the landlords had policed themselves, they could have prevented the enactment of Ordinance 174. Government in a community like Hastings does not usually step In where it Is not needed, but the situation in many homes and apartments is bad and getting worse. City officials want to reverse the decline of quality rental housing. We see one drawback, however, to the remedy. The job of setting the new or­ dinance into motion is expected to be full-time for 18 months to two years. When that time period expires, the council must reassess the situation and determine if a full-time additional staff person is still required. Despite the fact that Mr. Hunciag seems eminently qualified for his post, the council must refrain from creating a slot for him just because he is on the city payroll. “Bucking" against cancer Teresa Boulter of the Avenue Pub shows one of 17 "Buck Cancer with A Buck’’ boards that have been filled so far this month at the Hastings tavern. As of Monday afternoon the Pub and it* patrons have raised $412 for the American Cancer Society. In addition, the Avenue Pub Is the leading fundraiser among the other 20 or so county taverns and lounges that have the boards on display. According to local tradition, the one which raises the most money during the month-long cancer drive receive* a roving plaque. Donations to the "Buck Board” are currently down from last year when $2507 was raised. Our city government has done an excellent job of running a lean crew over the years. The philosophy has teen to use as few people as possible. This has kept the city budget in the black, but still given the citizens a full complement of services. A year ago, the movement to create a city manager’s post was battered down par­ tially because some council members thought it would be too expensive to create a new position. If the housing officer's job can be expanded in a productive way once en­ forcement of the rental ordinance is running smoothly, then that would make Gifted, continued to the Editor: Library plan gets encouragement I am writing in regard to your front page article o' April 12 - “Hastings Library Plans to Modernize System”. I am very happy that our library continues t” have a program for updating, improvement and modernization. I’m sure the new plans will make our library an even greater asset to our city. Two things bothered me, however. One was the mission of Eileen Ohler’s name from the article. The other was the mention of “complaints from patrons.” Miss Ohler, Librarian, has many times given special assistance to me (and my husband as well) the latest, just this spring when I was working on a special wildflower project We have always found the personnel both helpful and courteous. We do appreciate our Hastings Public Library, its personnel, and also the Library Board. Mrs. Robert (Gloria) Osis Hastings already in effect and some will be reviewed for consideration and possible im­ plementation as time goes on. Those programs already in use which will be continued are: working with the in­ termediate school district, staff development in the area of gifted and talented students,outside enrichment activities such as the recent performance of the Grand Rapids Symphony Orchestra, and continuing to work with curriculum development. She said other things to be considered are: testing to identify gifted and talented students, determining what parents, teachers, students and administrators would like to see in the program; implementing a problem solving class at the junior high level, addressing the needs of those students in grades four through six; providing in­ dependent study opportunities for gifted and talented students in grades three through 12; and increasing community awareness of activities outside the school district. Emmttlene McConnell said that, in the past, teachershave relied too much on recall or memory oriented activities. “Students must learn to think more on the basis of how and not just what,” she said. Audrey Renner added that there is a group of students identified as the "gifted un­ derachievers.” These students need to develop a sense of self-esteem, develop a more positive attitude toward school and learn self-discipline, possibly through in­ creased workload, she said. Renner stressed the need for teachers to share ideas when working with gifted and talented students. Both Renner and McConnell have attended classes, seminars and workshops relating to working with gifted and talented students. Banner (USPS 071-830) 1952 N. Broadway, P.O.

PUBLIC OPINION Capital punishment? Irene Meade sense. But if city hall no longer needs a full-time staff person in two years, then that decision must be made. In the meantime, we're glad to see the city govern­ ment take positive action toward maintaining the quality of our neighborhoods. LETTERS An argument ensued Friday between the judge and the defendant in Barry County Circuit Court when a Detroit man, charged with breaking and entering a local occupied dwelling, said he didn't want an attorney to represent him. During a pre-trial hearing Friday for William Boyd of 3046 Annabelle, Detroit, Judge Richard Shuster ordered two deputies to stand closer to the defendant after Boyd threw a folder of papers across the cour­ troom and called the judge a traitor of the flag. Boyd is charged with the Nov. 11 breaking and entering of an occupied dwelling at 10397 Thornapple Lake Rd. with intent to commit larceny. Before his pre-trial was adjourned to April 27, Boyd was granted a motion to have at­ torney David Dimmers dismissed as his court-appointed counsel and James Fisher was appointed to the case. However, Boyd insisted that he wanted to represent himself. "You will not go through this without the benefit of a counsel," Shuster told Boyd. Boyd answered that he would have a lawyer as an assistant, but “he will not do the speaking for me.' I do the speaking for myself.” Shuster responded that "in fairness to you, the legal system will provide you with a lawyer.” Boyd again said, "I will accept a lawyer only as an assistant. I will do it myself. I'm tired of being misrepresented by lawyers. I will accept the responsibilities. The time I serve is my time." Shuster responded, "You will have counsel on this case. You will not conduct the trial as you see fit” Boyd told Shuster, "You are guilty of treason. You will not intimidate me.” Then Boyd oroceeded to begin reading the Murray Stall Bart Gilbert John Patterson Donna Bolson Ken Wither West Gun Lake Rood on the outskirts of Hastings was the scene of this traffic mishap lost Wednesday afternoon. The two drivers, both from Hastings area were injured in the collision. Accident injures two locals Two Hastings residents received injuries in a twocar accident Wednesday afternoon. Kay E. Joseph, 30, of 997 Durkee Rd., was making a left-hand turn on West Gun Lake Rd. when she was struck in the rear by Dennis E. Eaton, 20, of 1870 Durkee Rd. Eaton told Barry County Sheriff Deputy Donald Nevins that he was coming over the hill and then saw the car making a turn, but was unable to stop in time. Eaton was ticketed for being unable to stop in an assured distance. The two were transported to Pennock Hospital where they were treated.

City police say they stopped Burandt, at the comer of Broadway and Mil) streets at 1:59a.m., Sunday driving a car owned by his step-father, Kreen DeWitt of the same ad­ dress. Burandt was arraigned Monday morning. — City police also reported that a Jeep owned by James Clark of 595? E. State Rd. was stolen from in front of 728 E. Grand St. on Saturday afternoon. Clark loaned his keys to an acquaintance, who hasn’t yet returned with the vehicle. The incident remains under investigation, Deputy Chief Gordon Trick said. — Jackie Jo Rose, 17, of 2106 S. Bedford Rd., Hastings pleaded guilty to larceny ol $100 or less. Trick said that after taking a polygraph test, she admitted taking the money from Wayne 0. Moore of 530 S. Dibble. Police reported that Moore was holding money for Randy James, which Moore said Rose took while in his home. Rose received a $100 fine plus costs in 56th District Court and will make restitution. No charges filed No charges were filed against a 50-year-old resident of Provincial House who stole a truck parked at the facility, April 11. Hastings Deputy Police Chief Gordon Trick said that the man was recently tran­ sferred from the Veterans Administration Hospital in Grand Rapids to Provincial House and will continue to stay there. The truck, owned by Ralph Smith of Hastings, is used to deliver oxygen to the facility. Smith left his keys in the vehicle. Trick said. The truck was stepped a short time later by a sheriffs deputy on M-37 near Middleville. Gary VanArsdal baa Phillip* Question Since a 1976 Supreme Court ruling which effectively ended a 10-year moratorium on execution* in the U.S., 17 men have been put to death — *ix since January. Proponents of the capital punish meal say the public has the right to retribution for certian crimes, and that the death penalty further acts as a deterrent to others. Opponents say capital punishment is unfair to minorities and poor people, and that the state has no right to take a human life. What do you think? Irene Meade. Hastings: "I’m strongly against capital punishment. The way I look at it, I hate to see it It was unfair before. What if they don't get the right person? I don’t think anybody has the right to take anyone else’s life." Murray Stall, Nashville: “I’m for capital punishment, with some restraints. Judges and juries should look at the severity of the crime." Stall said the death penalty is useful for both retribution and deterrence. Bart Gilbert. Fine Lake: "My belief is simply this. In cases of vefy major crimes...murder, sex crimes, etc...the judicial system should return two verdicts from a jury. One is, is the person guilty or not guilty. And if the person is judged guilty, the jury should return the second verdict. The second verdict is, could that person ever be trusted back in society again. If the answer is no, then that person no longer serves a purpose and nofunds should be designated to support that person and they should be in­ jected and put to death. “If the jury comes back and feels that there are rehabilitation possibilities, then they should go through whatever the rehabilitation system has to offer. If the verdict is that they can't be trusted in society, you lake the $15,000 to $20,000 per year that it would have cost to support each criminal and designate that money for an educational fund for some of the children who have possibilites — be it for poor areas or whatever — and make sure that those youngsters have a guaranteed excellent education. “The key point here is whether someone can contribute to society or not. Young children, who could benefit from the educational fund, have possibilities to contribute a great deal to our society, but the convicted criminals of major crimes have no purpose left in life. John Patterson— I am for capital punish­ ment in limited circumstanses, but I feel they have to take steps to make sure innocent people aren’t executed. Otherwise, there are some cases where execution is called for, the (Kevin) Grote (murder) case being an example. Crimes of cold-blooded murder. Perhaps severe, physical, repeated rape. Or extreme physical assault type things, such as a crippling beating. Gary VanAridal, Hastings: "Yes, I’m in favor of it. They ought to have more of them. It would thin exit the jails, and might slow a few criminals down, loo" Dee Phillips. Delton: "I cringe at the thought of capital pimishment — of really killing someone intentionally. In order to merit capital punishment, it would definitely have to be a criminal who had done something really devastating. But, I couldn’t be the one to order anyone to be put to death. My feeling, though, is that these criminals definitely should not be put on the street again. Anda lot of them are let out. “1 wish there was some way that we could solve the problems and prevent crimes from happening — to help the people who are on the verge of getting into situations. “I know it's terribly costly to keep persons in prison and it would seem like it would be a lot cheaper to spend money to channel young people in a positive direction...work on building their self-esteem, give them vocational training, develop their potential and do other (crime) preventative things.” r<onna Be Ison, Hastings: “There are so many murderers on death row waiting to die and all we do is feed and house them. When they have admitted guilt, why should we support them? I think it would cut down on the murders somewhat if others knew that if they got caught they would get the death penalty.” Ken Witker, Hastings: “I think, ‘A tooth fora tooth.' In circumstances where murder is premediated, when people know what they’re going to do, plan what they're going to do and do it, they should pay with their own lives. 1 not only feel that it would be a deterent, it is something that has been handed down through the ages " �The Hastings Banner— Thursday, April 19, 1984, Page 3 Grandstand being torn down A local landmark, the approximately 100year-old grandstand at the Barry County fairgrounds in Hastings, is currently being torn down because of its ••unsafe" condition. A decision to demolish the structure was made recently by the fair board after it received a report by John Wilcox, a struc­ tural engineer from Grand Rapids. Wilcox, after conducting an analysis, told the board tliat the building was "getting to the point where its safety was questionable". Dick Welton, president of the rair board, said his group felt it had two options after hearing that conclusion— one being to limit the number of spectators who would be seated in the bleachers, from the lOOO-person capacity to a limit of 600 or less, and the other being to raze the structure and come up with a different seating arrangement. He said that further reinforcement of the interior underpinnings had only been "a slight option". A structural engineering analysis of the grandstand at the Barry County Fairgrounds stated that it was “Getting to the point where its safety was questionable". Shown here is some of the Interior reinforcements that helped prompt the fair board to hove the structure tom down rather than risk using it for another fair.

V The nation's largest government studies program, previously only available to high school students in Michigan will be open to Americans aged 50 and older, according to an announcement made last week in Grand Rapids and Lansing. The invitation to par­ ticipate in the Close Up Foundation government studies program was made by representatives of CLOSE UP and the American Association of Retired Persons (AARP). Local leaders of senior citizens groups from the two areas attended the announcement. Local senior citizens will be given the opportunity to travel to Washington either in June or September to participate for a full week in a series of seminars and workshops on the processes and issues surrounding the federal government. The participants will meet with membets of Congress, journalists, lobbyists and experts on the judicial and executive branches and on foreign and domestic issues. Founded in 1970, CLOSE UP has graduated more than 140,000 high school students and teachers from across the county including 8,500 participants from Michigan. CLOSE UP provides fellowship funds to each participating school for teacher and lowto moderate-income students. Fellowships win also be made available for senior citizens through initial support provided by Oc­ cidental Petroleum Cor­ poration and R.J. Reynolds Industries, Inc. Michigan was selected as one of nine areas of the country to participate in the initial program. Assisting with the coor­ dination of the CLOSE UP program for older Americans are Lou and Kingsley Miller of Grand Rapids. _______________________ . BOSLEYS, THIS WEEK 1.

"It decided not to take that risk.” Welton said that the structural analysis was done by the board, because "it was obvious it (the grandstand) was not what it should be (safety-wise)". He said some grandstand seating options being considered by the board for the up­ coming fair in July include either renting, leasing or buying bleachers. Another possibility would be to replace the grand­ stand, but the cost of that has been estimated at $65,000. Welton said the board was in the process of "thrashing around those options", in par­ ticular the cost and ‘how’ to raise the necessary funds to cover it. “We’re looking at a lot of things right now," he said. "We’re studying fundraising ideas as well. We're looking for a vehicle where we can go around the community and get donations." Whatever option and fundraising vehicle is finally taken, for the next week the old grandstand will be coming down. Doing that work are Zane Mead and Dave Hagon.

Sponsored by... Mklweitern Sewing Distribution Dear Friends: Over the past two decades, thousands of new products and services have been introduced to the American market place. As more and more products were developed, the products, themselves, became increasingly complex. Accordingly, an increasingly sophisticated and equally complex consumer emerged in response to the variety of products and choices now available. The Issues that have risen out of the consumer's quest for meaningful information about their vast market have alt had a common theme: disclosure. Questions have been raised concerning how much information should be disclosed to consumers in packaging, labeling, advertising and pricing. In September of 1982, the Federal Trade Commission issued a new ruling regarding the regulation of funeral service. This ruling, scheduled to take effect on April 30,1984, will require all funeral homes to disclose and itemize their price information to persons arranging or Inquiring about funerals. This includes price information on caskets, services, such as embalming or cremation, and certain other disclosures specified in the ruling. In the past, there may have been funeral homes that combined all the Items used In a funeral service Into one lump price. Now, families turning to any funeral home will be assured the advantages of Itemized pricing. I feel, however, that most funeral directors have always practiced itemized pricing In one form or another similar to that which the FTC Is now requiring. In fact, the practices contained In this ruling have been standard procedures at our firm for many years. Wren Funeral Home has long encouraged people to familiarize themselves with the services and merchandise associated with a funeral so that they can make informed selections of only thoi they want Included In the service. Our funeral home makes available price Information on our caskets ano services, and offers them all for the public’s inspection. Basically, the FTC guidelines consist of two major sections: telephone disclosures and written disclosures. A telephone disclosure is simply that ■ Information a funeral director must give over the phone when a person calls and asks about the prices, terms or conditions of any aspect of the funeral service. For example, Mr. Brown calls my funeral home and Informs me that he must make funeral arrangements for a member of his family who has died. But he's concerned about how he will pay for the service and wonders if some payment arrangements can be made. At that time I would explain to him the simple payment terms I can make available to him. Written disclosures are broken into four parts: A casket price list, an outer burial container (or vault) price list, a general price list and a statement of funeral goods and services selected. A casket price list will provide a list of caskets a funeral home offers with brief descriptions and their corresponding prices. Likewise, an outer burial container price list will contain specific product and price information. Most cemeteries require an outer enclosure that contains Lake Odessa I CARS QUALITY I_USED __________ the casket to prevent the ground from settling or sinking. The general price list is a breakdown of charges for a variety of goods and services provided by the funeral home, such as embalming, cremation, service -CARS AT AFFORDABLE PRICES- «f our professional staff, transportation services and so on. Finally the statement of funeral goods and services selected is an itemized statement or contract which is a specific listing of those items of.service In Hasting* at the comer of Michigan and State Street OPEN Monday thru Saturday at 9 o.m.; Monday and Wednesday evening til 8 p.m. Tuesday, Thursday, Friday 'til 6 p.m.; Saturday til 3 p.m. and merchandise the consumer has selected. Not only must the funeral director offer this itemized price Information to consumers in person, he must also be prepared to discuss and relay any of the ^^5* 1 ’7^^” \ ’ \ information contained on the basic price lists over the phone. Consumer welfare can be defined as the provision of quality products and services which are presented to prospective buyers in an honest and compre­ hensive manner to reasonably assure the safety, well-being and satisfaction of those consumers. Wren Funeral Home wants to discuss prices and other areas of funeral service either in person or by telephone, and will be happy to answer questions you may have on any of these subjects.

Getting better acquainted with many of the club's members through the organization's stitchery and painting groups has been one of the highlights of her association with the club, she said. Lucie has been a resident of Algonquin Lake for 43-years and has seen the area develop from a sparsely populated lake to its present growth of many homes. Her husband, G. Miner (Mick) has owned property at Algonquin since the late 1920s and was one of the first residents on the lake. ‘ The lake didn’t start to develop until after the second world war. We came here in 1941." The couple have lived in three different homes on the lake — and all of them were built by Mick. They've resided in their current home for 29-years. Originally from Oklahoma, Lucie was bom in Lehigh which she says is a ghostown now. "It was quite a town at one time,” she adds. At the age of three, she moved to Detroit with her parents because there was no work available in the Lehigh area. She graduated from Western Hipi School in the Motor City where she lived until she and Mick were married when she was 21. Lucie said she met her husband when she was working as a cashier and bookkeeper for Woolworth in Dearborn where he was the manager. She was employed at Woolworth's for fcxr years but didn’t work again until 1 after the couple’s chikfren had grown up. Then, for a number of years; until 1975, she worked at thelMBa Of Fabrics in Woodland Mall where she started as a clerk and was promoted’to manager? Prior to settling at Algonquin Lake, the Ketchums spent three years in Chillicothe, a town in southern Ohio. They have a daughter. Diana who lives in Grand Rapids, and a son, Jeff of Hastings, and three grandchildren. Lucie was very active in PTA as her children were growing up. She also has been a long-time member of the Algonquin Lake Community Association and has served two terms as its secretary. When .the first Red Cross class was offered . to train nurses aides during World War 11, Lucie was among the first to take the training and work as a volunteer in the hospital for several years. A member of the Presbyterian Chuch in Hastings, she attends meetings of the women’s circle. Taking night classes to learn new skills and acquire new knowledge has been an activity Lucie has enjoyed. "I’m a strong believer in continuing your education,*’ she says. She has taken classes at Battle Creek Community College and through the com­ munity education program at Hastings in art appreciation, tailoring, painting, and a commercial course to brush-up on skills. Interior decorating was a subject she studied through a correspondence course offered by LaSalle University in Chicago. "Although I’ve never used it (the interior decorating course), I have a lot more con­ fidence in knowing what I like and in getting over the fear of wondering whether something is correct. Anything is correct.” Lucie’s home reflects many of her artistic and needlework talents. Her acrylic pain­ tings decorate many rooms and her toile painting is reflected on decorated trays and plaques, etc. A wall hanging in the kitchen provides a clue to her favorite hobby. It is embroidered with the words: "Blessed are the quilters for they shall be called the piecemakers." Lucie made the wall hanging and says, "1 love to quilt. Quilting is my big thing...my first and foremost hobby. "1 also like to work out in the yard. “I have fun with everything I do. I’m never bored. How can you be bored when there are so many things to do?” When company is invited to dinner, the Lucie Kethcum, newly elacted president of the Hastings Woman's Chib, prepares spinach lasagna which is relatively low in calories and one of her favorite recipes. Most people don't realize that spinach is an ingredient, she sold. menu might include spinach lasagna and she shares the recipe with readers this week. She’s been making the dish for about five years, since she found the recipe in a magazine. ‘‘I like it because it’s low in calories and it’s not too rich...moat people don't realize that it has spinach m it." Another favorite recipe is one a friend brought back from Florida for muffins. The Latter will keep up to six weeks in the refrigerator. The recipe makes five-dozen muffins but Lucie says she usually bakes them all at once and then freezes them. Six-Week Muffins Ingredients: 1 15-oz. box Raisin Bran, 3cups sugar, 5-cups flour, 5 teaspoons soda, 1quart buttermilk, 1-cup oil, 4-eggs. Mix in large pan or bowl. Bake at 425degrees for 15 or 20-minutes until lightly browned. Makes 5-dozen. May be baked ahead and frozen or batter will keep in refrigerator for up to six-weeks. Lucie’s Spinach Lasagna Ingredients: 1-pound• lean ground beef, two-thirds cup chopped onion, 2-garlic cloves, crushed; 1-can (15-oz.) tomato sauce, 1-teaspoon oregano, 1-teaspoonsalt, l^-cups low fat cottage cheese, 1-egg, slightly beaten; one-third cup grated Parmesan cheese, 'n-teaspoon nutmeg, three (about 3oz.) lasagna noodles, and 2-packages frozen chopped spinach, thawed and squeezed dry. Preheat oven to 3SO-degrees. In large, non­ stick coated skillet (or use non-stick vegetable spray), brown ground beef. Remove beef anddrain. Add onion to pan and saute. Add garlic and continue cooking for one-minute. Return beef to skillet, add tomato sauce, oregano and >2-ieaspoon salt. Heat to boiling; reduce heat to low. Cover and simmer at least 15-minutes; remove from heat and set aside. Cook noodles as package label directs; drain. In medium bowl, mix spinach, cottage cheese, egg, Parmesan cheese, nutmeg and 4-teaspoon salt. To assemble: Lightly grease a 13 by 9-inch pan. Spread spinach mixture evenly in pan.

Thaw, cover and heat in preheated 350degree oven for 20 to 25-minutes. C. Wendell Strickland ALL LINES OF INSURANCE 112 E. Court St., Hastings Ph.945-3215 Elvis Presley was probably the most celebrated and promoted personality of all time. During 1956, almost everything imaginable was issued bearing Elvis' image or name. It is an amazing fact that, although most of the Elvis material sold in 1956 was massproduced, many of these items are now so rare that they command extremely high prices from knowledgeable collectors. It is this early promotional material, most of it authorized by Elvis Presley Enterprises and so marked, that is highly prized and collectible. Early, good quality Elvis material is difficult to find, not only because collectors and fans alike snatch it up as soon as it hits the market, but because not much seems to get on the market. Much of what still exists is in the hands of devoted fans and enthusiastic collectors who have no desire to part with their treasures for any price. Much material is probably still un­ discovered in attics where it was placed years ago. Some material goes un­ noticed and is perhaps (perish the thought) discarded as trash because the owner is unaware of the value of the item or has confused it with the new material that has flooded the market since Elvis’ death. As the public becomes more aware of the value of the original Elvis Presley Enterprises' early material, more may find its way into the market place. At this time, however, most early Elvis memorabilia is extremely scarce. Collecting Elvis material can also become expensive because there are so many different kinds to collect. Elvis collectibles overlap many other collecting fields. Some collectors concentrate on novelty items, while others concentrate on records, movie memorabilia, magazines, tour souvenirs, photographs, sheet music, or some combination of these. Novelty Elvis items are high on the col lectors list of des Ira ble items. These were manufactured to appeal to teenagers in the late 1950s. These novelties were sold, starting in 1956, by department stores, drug stores, specialty shops, and through magazine ads. Considering the quantity qf material that was sold, it is difficult to understand why so many of these novelty items have become scarce. Almost everything imaginable that could be used by the teenager was issued. Some of the more interesting official novelty items issued during 1956 and 1967 were: wallets, dolls, perils, headscarves, games, diaries, perfume, belts, teddy bears, guitar and case, lipstick, gum cards and nearly a hundred other items. The items in the novelty category range in value from about 310 to $1,500, with many pieces In the $75 to $150 range. To command a top price, the item should be in its original container and in excellent condition. So many different items of clothing and accessories were manufactured to appeal to the teenage girl that she could be dressed from head to toe in Elvis Presley Enterprises clothing. Everything was manufactured from hats to shoes. There were also shirts, skirts, bluejeans, T-shirts, pajamas, mittens, socks, etc. The number of different pieces of Elvis jewelry rhe could choose from was astonishing. There were ankle bracelets, sweater­ clips, earrings, rings, pins, necklaces, and bracelets. She could nearly cover herself with buttons and pins that were available in sizes %" to 3" in diameter with messages like “I Love Elvis", "Don't Blame Me — I Voted for Elvis", and "1 Want Elvis for Christmas". She could splash on Elvis’ "Teddy Bear” perfume and wear one of the Elvis lipsticks which came in such shades as “Heartbreak Pink", "Tutti Fruitti Red", "Cruel Red", "Hound Dog Orange" and "Love Me Tender Pink". Then she could spend the rest of her money on record cases, scrapbooks, photo albums, books, a diary, etc. Of course, school supplies were available from pencils to loose-leaf binders. Elvis' induction into the Army in 1958 prompted a new line of novelty items. Many different pieces of jewelry were manufactured featuring a chromeplated brass dog-tag with Elvis’ likeness, his serial number, and his blood type. Although the jewelry was marketed in 1968, the card it was mounted on bears the 1956 copyright date. As the sweater-dip is very scarce, it commands a price in the $100 range, whereas, the other pieces are more plentiful and, therefore, sell frrwn $18$50 range. Another item com­ memorating Elvis’ induction into the Army is the book "Operation Elvis", by Alan Levy. The Elvis Presley doll which sold in 1957 for $3.98 now brings from $900 to $1,200 if in excellent condition, and wearing the original outfit, including its “blue suede shoes". If the 18" Elvis doll is in the original box, it is really a "find" and could be worth even more. The Elvis Presley Enterprises charm bracelet originally sold for .69 to $1 in 1956. The matching earrings are more scarce than the bracelet. Both pieces have a 14-karat gold plated finish and were sold on a marked “Elvis’' card. Today the value <h the bracelet alone ranges from $1004140. Value of the earrings now $125 to $160. The Elvis “Love Me Tender" four string guitar was manufactured by Emenee. The complete package con­ tained the guitar, automatic chord player, a small song book, and a card­ board guitar case. Today's collectible value, complete, $5004700. The Elvis overnight case of card­ board and metal corners has Elvis depicted in various poses on front and back and today commands $3004350. Three different Elvis Presley En­ terprises handkerchiefs were sold in 1956 and carries this copyright date near the border. Value now $125. An Elvis 1956 headscarf sold for $300 at a recent memorabilia auction. These prices are not typical for all Elvis material. They were merely mentioned to emphasize the rarity and desirability of some of the early items. This article only scratches the sur­ face of Elvis collecting. It is intended to make the reader aware of the variety of collectibles and for the demand for these scarce early items. There seems to be as many collectors of Elvis memorabilia and 1950s nostalgia material as there are items to be collected.

They talked about a name for the celebration, but they did not reach a final decision. Having stationery printed was discussed, but they decided to wait until they can take a picture of the town hall with its coming historical building marker up. Appointing several committees to research different categories of Woodland history in preparation to updating the historical booklet that was published at the time of Woodland's centenial celebration was discussed. It was decided at this time they will plan a two-day celebration, and if it becomes necessary to continue it into another half day before the event, they can do so.

Norma Acker The Hastings Board of Education received a policy for consideration on student rights, responsibilities and discipline at its monthly meeting last week. Superintendent Carl Schoessel explained that the policy covers broad guidelines and will "set the tone" for more detailed committee work in this area. To begin that process. Dr. Earl Newman, director of educational services, has formed a committee, made up of faculty and ad­ ministration representatives, to review the current student policy handbooks at all grade levels. Newman said that the group's purpose is to clarify existing policy, address new policy and make recommendations in areas not currently covered. “It will be an in-depth review process," Newman said. "The purpose is to review and arrive at consistent policies for K-thru-.2." Parents and students will be asked to evaluate the committee's recommendations before a final report goes to the school board. Board members accepted the policy for review. It will be recommended for adoption at next month's meeting. In other business, the board: — set admission fees for these spring sports — boys and girls track, varsity baseball and varsity softball — at 11.50 for adults, 11 for high school and junior high students, 75 cents for elementary students, and no charge for pre-school children who are accompanied by an adult. Bill Karpinski, director of athletics, told the board that these prices are consistent with the recommendations made by the Twin Valley Conference. — accepted a gift of 5707 from the Southeastem Elementary School ParentTeacher Organization to purchase portable platforms. — appointed Elaine Alword to a food services position and Ernest Strong to the position of drivers education director. — adopted a policy regarding the use of school system facilities. — received 'conflict of interest* statements from RkrhardShaw and James Toburen, who both sit on the board of directors of the Hastings Savings and Loan Association. Because the school does business with this firm, the statements were required to show the two members’ affiliation. ‘84 SummerFest plans, continued while it may not be as big as some similar events, we don't have to take our hat off to anyone,” said Warren. “It's something people look forward to.” Promotionally, co-chairman Mike McKay said they were looking into having a large "SummerFest" banner put across State Street and a0 smaller ones hung through the downtown during August. In addition, the Christmas tree lights would be put on the trees and lighted for the entire month. Two Hastings students earn academic honors Two Hastings students at Evangel College (Springfield, MO) have earned academic honors for the fall semester. They are Deneen Lepard, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Hillis Leperd, 1901 E. Mill St., and William L. McGinnis, son of Mr. and Mrs. William Mcginnis, 2096 Maple Lane. Miss Lepard is a 1983 graduate of Hastings High school and a freshman at Evangel. She is majoring in music education and is on the dean’s list. McGinnis graduated from Hastings High School in 1980 and is a senior at Evangel. His major is elementary education. He is on the honor roll. “We're hoping to turn August into Sum­ merFest month," said McKay. "Hopefully, we'll make the downtown as pretty as it is in December." Along with plans and promotions, Warren said the committee was keeping its usual eye of raising money. "The name of the game is how to pay for it," he added. "During the past couple years the expenses have been around $7500." He said that a third of that comes from contributions by businesses, groups and individuals; a third comes from selling arts and crafts space; less than a third comes from concessions with the rest made up from T-shirt sales. He noted that the concessions would be charged 15 percent of their receits this year rather that 10 percent. The committee is also encouraging con­ tributions with its "sponsor pole" which is hung up during the Sum merFest weekend. Businesses and groups donating $100 or more and individuals donating $25 or more will have their name put up on the pole. "We’ve received $1,000 in contributions so far," Warren said, "and have commitments for another $1,000. "We're a non-profit groig) and we're not trying to make money on this, but I don't think we can ever get too many contributions to help pay for this," he said. Campers here Sat. & Sunday Easier weekend brings with it another annua) campout hosted by the ChainO-Lakes Trailer Club of Barry County, the local chapter of the National Campers and Hikers Association.

HANOVER ROAD HASTINGS, MICHIGAN 945-3354 �The Hastings Banner— Thursday. April 19, 1984, Page 11 Saxons have experience, pitching Have opened season by splitting four games The Saxon varsity baseball team is rapidly preparing for an outstanding 1984 baseball season. Returning lelterwinnere are seniors Joel Christensen, Jack Moore, Todd Slater, Rich French, Jim Replogle, and Jason Sixberry, as well as juniors George Sullivan and Gregg Shaeffer. The pitching staff will consist of Jack Moore, 6-5 last season; George Sullivan, 2-2; Jason Sixberry and Gregg Shaeffer from last season's staff. Up from the JV squad to help is Mike McLean. Sixberry and McLean are lefthanders. “Moore and Sullivan were the mainstay* of our staff last year," said co^ch Bernie Oom. “So we have considerable experience on the mound." Sixberry, Shaeffer and McLean saw action in the summer. sixteen Sax ins have made the varsity, including nine seniors. “This is one of the most talented and experienced senior groups I have had and they have the kind of desire to win." Joel ChrLstensen, co-captain with Moore, is a veteran at the catching position. "He is solid defensively and handles the pitchers well." Christensen was honorable mention last season on the Twin Valley All­ Conference Team. Joel hit .271 last season. Jason Sixberry returns as the regular first baseman. He hit .289 with 21 runs batted in last year. McLean will back up Sixbeny. Shaeffer has the inside track at second base. He saw action as an outfielder end designated hitter last spring Shaeffer hit .154 last season, but improved to .371 in the summer. John Stack, up from the JV team, will provide second base backup. Rich French nas moved over to fill the shortstop position. He has a fine glove and is willing to learn a new position. He will provide the defensive spark. Jim Replogle returns to fill the hot comer Hastings baseball team (front) Tim Scheessel, John Waaner, Todd Slater, Joel Christensen, Jack Moore. George Sullivan, Gregg Shaeffer, David Oom (back) Bernie Oom, Rich French, Nick Postula, Jason Sixberry, Jim Replegle, Mike McLean, John Stack, Bob Gaskill, Brad Tolles, Mike Beck (mgr.) position. Replogle played regular at third base last season hitting .262. Backing him up at third base will be George Sullivan and Nick Postula. “Tne outfield should be one of our strongest in years." Todd Slater returns to right field. Slater batted .194 but scored 19 runs and collected a team record 28 base on balls. Jack Moore will see outfield duty when not on the mound. “Moore has worked hard on his hitting and outfield play and will be an added strength to our everyday lineup. Moore hit .283 last season including five doubles. Nick Postula, a transfer from Texas, will be batting for an outfield job. “Most of his experience has been as an infielder but he is willing to play where needed.” Brad Toiles, last year’s junior varsity center fielder, has an excellent opportunity to break into the starting lineup. John Wagner, a senior who did not play last year, Jim Schoessel, a transfer student from Detroit, and Bob Gaskill, up from the junior varsity, are also outfield prospects. The latter two are juniors. “We should have a much better team than last year," said Oom. "We played several underclassmen last year so if experience means success, we should do okay. Our pitching staff looks like a good one, too. Of the nine wins last season, eight of them came from Moore and Sullivan.” The team has seven non-league games before opening the conference season hasting Marshall on April 24. Softball team may be even better Girls track team eyes league title Pat Murphy can check off the names of the frontrunners in the Twin Valley girls track picture. Hastings, she hopes, belongs among the leaders. The team will be experienced with 17 girls returning. Some of them have been around for a few years. Returning seniors include captains Colleen Corrigan (discus-shot) and Char Gibbs (distances) along with Karen Williams (hurdles-middle distance). Juniors who lettered last year are Carleen Blackburn (shot-discus), Sherie Bradley (distances), Bev DeCamp (sprints), Kim Inman (long jump) Cris Kruko (sprints), Amy Loftus (distance) and Kristin Matthews (sprints). Returning sophomores include Amy Atkinson (long jump). Tammy Bryans (high jump-sprints). Barb Case (middle distance), Jean Chenier (distances). Sue Klovanich Hastings girls track team (first row) Nancy Hudson, Bev DeCamp, Kris Matt­ hews, Cherle Bradley, Kim Inman, Karen Williams, Char Gibbs, Colleen Corrigan, Mary Kingsley, Ronnie Frick, Abbey Reaser, Star Barlow, Jennifer Abson (second row) Laura Eaton, Dawn Miller, Tina Hull, Jean Chinier, Barb Case, Amy Atkinson, Nikki Dunham, Sue Klovanich. Tami Jordan, Tasha Warren, Martha Dimmers, Lisa Sharp, Bindy Geurnsey, Tommy Bryans, Janine Briggs (third row) Sue Clark, Jill O'Connor. Brenda Denslaw, Star Cross, Kim Fox, Becky Gidley, Kristen Lyons, Keely Sharg, Jerry Frick, Lauren Hammond, Angie Kennedy, Wendy McLaughlin, Nicole Ross. Anna Loftus and Sue Inman. (hurdles) and Natasha Warren (distances). The R00 and 400 meter relay teams along with Corrigan in the discus earned trips to the state finals a year ago and could be strong suits this year, says Murphy. The biggest obstacle, as always, will be bring down times and improving. "All the spots are going to have to have to be strengthened." admits Murphy. "We still have a long ways to go.” Murphy says Albion. Coldwater. Hillsdale, Sturgis and Marshall all will have respec­ table teams with Hastings fitting in there somewhere. “On any given night we fit in there," she says. The Saxons are off to a fast start with three wins in four attempts. The team also finished 10th in the tough Sturgis Relays. “You’re always happy if you can improve your times, which we have done,” she says. “Each girl has her own goals and tries to improve." Inexperience to hinder tennis squad With only one senior dotting the roster of the Hastings tennis team, new coach Jeff Simpson says he’d be satisfied with a .500 season. The Saxons finished only 2-9 a year ago with a very young team. But with 22 boys out for tennis this season, Simpson will have the numbers, but regretable little experience, to work with this spring. None-the-less. Simpson does see some talent on the team. “Yes. there is talent there." he says. “Right now al) we need is consistency. Of course, we’ve only played two matches.” The Saxons opened their season with a 6-1 win over Lakewood. Hastings then lost to tough Ionia 4-3 and were ahead of Caledonia 3-1 in a third match when the rains came. Heading the four singles positions on the team are junior Dave Flood, sophomore Tim Hubert, junior Tony Marfia, and junior Rob Olsen. Sophomores Todd Harvey and Craig Weller are currently playing first doubles but could move up into singles as the season goes on. says Simpson. Other doubles players include sophomore Matt Vaughn and junior Craig Smith at second doubles and the team of junior Tim Tebo and senior Dave Michael at third doubles. Four other players. Eric Anderson. Paul Roberts. Jeff Fuller and Dave Byrne, could move into doubles slots. Rounding out the tennis roster are Brad Johnson. Brandon Greenfield. Rob Kennedy. Dave Gibson. John Schimmel. Rex Brown. Joel Lenz, and Dan Willison. Simpson believes the goal of a .500 season isn’s so far-fetched. “The kids really want to be at .500." he says. “Last year they lost five matches by 7-0 scores. They want to improve this year.” Hastings Girls Golf on Page 16 It's encore time for the Hastings softball team. And it looks like the Saxons are up to the enviable task of taking a few extra bows. Last year Judy Anderson's softball squad won 11 of 12 Twin Valley games en route to a co-championship with Harper Creek. This year, despite the loss ofan all-league pitcher, the team could be headed in the same direction. The girls have won all three of its games this spring outscoring its opponents 32-1 along the way. Can this team be as good as the 1983 Saxon team? "Yes, I think so," says Anderson. "We have more consistent hitting and our defense has been good so far. We’re keeping errors to a minimum." That's largely because of a top-notch in­ Hastings softball team: (front row) Jeff Corstange, Jason Corstanye, Laura House, Tonya Davis, Laurie Snyder, Sue Wallace, Teresa Barry, Tammy Connor (second row) Kim Galbreath, Marjo Denny, Laura Oom, Lorrie Jaynes, Stacy Owens, Deb Dykstra, Paula Atkinson, Carrl Dunn, Shari Maurer, Judy Anderson. field which includes plenty of experience and talent. Senior shortstop Tammy Connors is playing varsity ball for the fourth year, first baseman Paula Atkinson and second baseman Laura Oom are in their third years, and third baseman Teresa Hause is starting on the varsity for the second season. “They’ve jelled together well," admits Anderson of her infield. The outfield is still unsettled although returning lettermen Deb Dykstra, Lorrie Jaynes, and Teresa Barry lend depth. The key to the team is pitching. Gone is Sheri Blair, one of the top pitchers Hastings has ever had. Replacing her is Carri Dunn, who has seen some pitching duty in each of the last two years. Dunn, along with Connor and Laurie Snyder make up a decent pitching staff, says Anderson. "They've been doing an excellent job," she says. "They’ve held their own and their arms are in good shape." Harper Creek, which tied with Hastings for the co-championship a year ago, will be trouble again this year. Coldwater along with Sturgis and Hillsdale will also prove tests for the Saxons this spring. says Anderson. "Some of us lost our pitchers so we'll all have to work with that," she says. Boys track team looks to improve Twelve returning lettermen hope to alter the hopes of the Hastings boys track team this spring. The 12 lettermen offer experience as well as top flight athletes in the sprint and distance events to a Hastings team which finished 2-7 and in fifth place in the Twin Valley. In the field events, the high jump, long jump, and pole vault events should also be improved. Second-year coach Jim Gibson greeted returning letlerwinners Bruce Hoffman (100, 200. shot), Jim Cruttenden (100, 200), Mike Matthews (100, 200), John Ketchum (long jump, hurdles). Paul Turnes (quarter mile, discus). Tom Freridge (half mile, relays). Beau King (mile, half mile), Mike Shaw Hastings boys track team: (first row) Coach Slater, Brent Tracy, Mark Schaubel.

Brad Bennett (mile, two mile). It will be a young team despite returning 12 letterwinners. Dave Gaskill, Craven. Maurer and Bennett are the only seniors on the team. The coaching staff feels always-tough Sturgis again will be the team to beat in the Twin Valley with Marshall and possibly Hastings as darkhorses. The team has already seen some action in 1984. The Saxons are 1-3 after a win over Ionia and losses to Greenville, Delton, and Gull Lake. Hastings also finished 10th in the 16-team Sturgis Relays. The 400 meter relay team of Hoffman. Cruttenden. Ketchum and Mat­ thews finished fourth for Hastings' lop showing. �The Hastings Banner — Thursday, April 19.1984 —Pago 12 Mode 0 Day 106 E.

The new Delton softball coach believes his young team possesses enough talent to make a run for the Kalamazoo Valley Association title this spring. “I expect a great season,” contends Taylor. "We're going to be strong defen­ sively and very strong with the bats with more power than last year. We're also going to be a fast team." Taylor greeted five lettermen back this spring. Leftfiekter Sherri Taylor, catcher Tammy Wilkinson, centerfiekter Tamara Randolph, pitcher Karla Mapes and second baseman Stefanie Falvo all lettered a year ago. Taylor is also pinning high hopes on three sophomores who will man three infield positions. Mapes, who improved each game last year, and Wikinson, who developed into one of the team’s better fritters, are also keys to Delton’s success. The Panther pitching staff, questionable at the least, may have some early problems, says Taylor. "We’re hoping our hitting and defense will help overcome that,” notes Taylor of the pitching. He likes Kalamazoo Christian, an early season foe of Delton’s, and Kalamazoo Hackett as KVA frontrunners. But, he says, Delton has the talent to play with both teams. "We’re looking to take it,” says Taylor of the league title. "I’m fired up and so are the girls.” CINDER Pharmacy, Inc. FRANTZ Buick and Chevrolet 1435 W.

The Panthers lost to Hastings (13-1) and Wayland (8-0) before stopping Middleville (13-6) in its third ballgame. Monroe is counting on at least six inex­ perienced pitchers to improve on last year’s 5-19 record. Such throwers as returnees Doug Conklin and Wayne Bourdo and newcomers Robert Searles, Kyle Aukerman and Paul Florshinger must come through for the team this year, says Monroe. Other returning ietterwinners include senior Jon Young at second and third, senior William Warner in the outfield, senior utilityman Vaughn Mills and senior infielder Greg Brown. Monroe thinks that is enough assembled talent lobe heard in the KVA this year "We're trying to build a team capable of playing with the others in the league,” says Monroe. "We’re going to have a lot of juniors playing so we're building for next year too. Hopefully we'll be better.’’ Monroe hopes a summer baseball program last year which included Connie Mack and Mickey Mantle teams will eventually bolster the varsity program. Mattawan, with its deep pitching staff and numerous power hitters, is the team to beat in the league. Hackett and Parchment are longshots. "I don't think we can win the league,” says Monroe. "We might be in the middle of the pack." Hi'ting could be one of the team’s strong suits. Florshinger pounded a pair of homers and Young added another one against Middleville. Defense, however, isn't going to help the pitching staff as much as Monroe would like. Delton matte six errors leading to eight unearned runs in the 8-0 loss to Wayland. BLANKENSTEIN PONTIAC * OLDSMOBILE GMCTRUCKS 328 N. Michigon Avenue Hostings. Michigan Steve’s Standard of the corner of State Street and Broadway in Hastings Delton may come up a little short on the depth chart of field events or improving distance times, but the team won’t be lacking experience. And Fred Pessell hopes it's experience that will carry his Delton track team to the KVA title. Pessell counts a total of 15 track men back from a team that compiled 8-3 overall and 6-1 league marks a year ago. The team finished third in the KVA meet. PesselTs goal this year? To battle Par­ chment and maybe Mattawan and Hackett for the league title. Kalamazoo Christian, last year's KVA champ, has lost heavily through graduation and probably won't be a factor this spring. "1 think we'll be in the running for the conference championship," contends Pessell. Based on eary returns, Pessell could be right. Delton is currently 3-0 on the year and recently zipped through the Middleville Co­ ed Relays. Pessell said his team will be particularly strong in the distances, hurdles and sprint relay events. Returning letterwinners include Ramon Baker (shot-discus), John Buchanan (distances), Roger Frye (distances), Mark Hammond (pole vault), Tim Hogan (hur­ dles), Jeff Jones (distances), Lyle Kaechele (distances), Dennis Munson (long jump­ sprints), Adam Pease (sprinter), Eric Pessell (sprints), Joe Shoup (pole vault), Greg Sutton (hurdles), SteveTuin (hurdles), Dave Vickery (distances) Scott Woodstock (hurdles). Baker is already off to fast start with discus and shot put wins against Middleville, Hastings, and Gull Lake. Jeff Jones has notched several wins in the 1600 and 800 meter runs while Munson and Vickery also have a pair of wins under their belts. Sights are set for plus .500 season in girls track at Delton In a year where the KVA looks particularly strong. Delton girls track coach Carla Herwarth says her team is shooting for a seven win season. "We've looked at the schedule and the girls would like to finish 7-4," says first-year coach Carla Herwarth. “We looked at who we had Io beat and we think we can go above .500." Herwarth assisted in the Athens track program a year ago. She ran track al Dello for four years until attending Hillsdale. The hopeful 7-4 record would be a complete reversal from the 4-7 mark and fourth place finish of 198:1. Herwarth is tanking on 10 returning Ietterwinners to spearhead the turnabout. That list includes Teresa Baird (shot­ discus). Kim Baker 'one and two-mile long jump). Nancy Baker (hurdles), Monique Cichy (100 and 200-yard dashes). Barb Drenth (mile, 800, high jump). Joy Good (relays, mile, two-mile), Sue Hogg (shot­ discus), Regina Jones (two-mile relay. 800), Andrea Niedzielski (hurdles, relays) and Mary Niedzielski (high jump, relays, one and two miles). Herwarth says her team will be par­ ticularly strong in the field events with Drenth. Hogg, and Mary Niedzielski, who holds the school record in the high jump. The team needs improving in the 400 and 800 meter relays and the long jump, says Herwarth. To finish third or higher in the KVA. Herwarth believes the team will have to edge out defending league champ Parchment. "But the league as a whole all looks pretty healthy." she admits. �The Hastings Banner — Thursday, April 19, 1984 — Page 13 Middleville lacks pitching, experience Baseball experts say there is nothing quite like a solid pitching staff to go along with experienced fielders. Steve Evans hopes there is something besides pitching and experience because those are two categories in which his team is severely lacking. Evans, the second-year Middleville baseball coach, has only four returning letterwinners to a Trojan team that won four of 14 games a year ago. As a result, there will be numerous freshman and sophomores in Evans' lineup. The only reluming letterwinners are shortstop Tim Heffner, second baseman Robb Pickard, first baseman-pitcher Dave Perry, and first baseman-outfielder Kreg Kelley. “We'll be depending a lot on the younger kids,” admits Evans. "Our No. 1 goal is to strengthen our pitching staff.” Middleville, however, does not have significant numbers of pitchers on the roster, and what is there is untested. "The people we are counting on are inexperienced," Evans acknowledges. Such players as sophomore catcher Mike Blair, sophomore pitcher Bill Denniston, and freshman pitcher-centerfielder Randy Stickney must come through if Middleville is to meet with any success at all, says Evans. Pickard and Heffner at second and short along with Perry at first provides most of Middleville's strength. "They are experienced and talented," says Evans of his infield. “Probably one of the best in the league.” The outfield, however, is much the op­ posite. A freshman, a sophomore and an inexperienced junior more than likely will be starting in the Trojans’ three garden spots. "There is talent out there, but they have to prove themselves," says Evans. The team has already played a pair of games lasing to Delton 13-6 and Walland 8-1. The early highlights include sane lusty hitting by the Trojans including two homers by Perry against Delton. “We should sc^re some runs this year," says Evans. “The question is whether we can keep the other teams down. That's easier said that done." Evans likes defending O-K Blue champ KeUoggsville, with its talented pitching staff and tons of experience, as the 1984 favorite. Comstock Park and possibly Hamilton are longshots. Middleville tennis teem: (front row) Brod Moir, Shown lake, Jim Will, Jon Scott, Dan Demorrow (bock row) Andy Pelli, Todd Courts, Mike Lynch, Rolfe Timmerman, Tom Schwartz, Eric Hanna pel, Craig Mathiasen, Chris Wingeler. Doubles positions hold key to Trojan tennis success It wouldn’t surprise Larry Seger if this year’s Middleville tennis team is reminiscent of last season. Last spring the Trojans sputtered and coughed early before closing the season with a charge. Middleville compiled a 96 mark, finished second in the league and regional meets, and a seventh in the state meet. It was a young Trojan team — particularly in the three doubles positions. But when the doubles teams gained confidence, the team took off. Such will probably be the case this year with four returning singles players, but only two in doubles. Heading the list of singles players is senior Craig Mathiesen, who compiled a 20-2 record and was O-K Blue and regional champ at No. 2 singles. "He is a very calm player,” says Seger. "He never gets shook and is smart and aggressive." Joining Mathiesen at the next three singles positions are senior Chris Wingeier and juniors Todd Courts and Eric HannapeL Juniors Jim Will and Rolfe Timmerman are the only Trojans with any doubles ex­ perience. Seger says the team's main goal is to shoot for its 14th straight winning season. He admits, however, it won't be easy. “Hudsonville is probably the best team in the league but there are two others who have top 10 talent," says Seger. “We don't feel we have the experience in doubles to be at the top. "It’s just like last year — we don’t have the experience. But we improved last year as we gained experience and we hope that will happen again this year." Five returnees enough to improve Trojan softball team? John Greenman doesn’t have a bench full of experience to work with this season, but he does have talent among five returning letlerwinners. The Middleville softball coach has only five returnees with which to work, but the five can play ball. Such players as: — Sophomore catcher Karmen Gray. Last year all Gray did as a frosh was hit .410, steal 41 bases, and throw out another 40 from her catching position. “I can't say enough about her.” says Greenman of Gray, who bats leadoff and is also the No. 2 pitcher on the team. — junior shortstop Carol Courtney. A solid fielder. Courtney is making the transition between second and short this year. She hit .280 last season. — junior DH-outfielder Kate Hunt. Hunt swatted out a .390 average with six homers a year ago. She'll be the team's leftfielder and cleanup hitter — senior outfielder Sandy Irwin. She steadily improved last year and will handle the Centerfield chores this spring. — senior third baseman Darcy Wingeier. An excellent athlete. Wingeier will play third after handling shorstop last season. That is enough talent, says Greenman. to approach last year's 14-8 record, fourth place O-K Blue, and district champ marks. Greenman says this year's version of Trojan softball will be much the same as last year's team which lost six straight early, but rebounded to capture nine straight games late in the season. “I expect almost the same type of thing to happen," he says. "We’ll struggle with our hitting and hopefully we'll get things going about mid-season.” The team will be very young with Mid­ dleville starting three freshmen (at second, first and pitcher) and a sophomore starting. Thornapple Kellogg has already opened its season with a 9-3 loss to Wayland. Greenman says pitching will be a key with those duties being handled by freshman Missy Rounds. ■‘She's a worker.” says Greenman. "You'll here a lot about here. She'll be around for a while." Greenman sees Hamilton with pitcher Betsey Oonk as the O-K Blue favorite. Hamilton was 12-0 in the league with Oonk pitching six no-hitters along the way. Byron Center is a darkhorse in the pitching-rich O-K Blue league. "Six of the 12 pitchers return this year," says Greenman. "It's a pitching strong league. ” 502 S.

"Girls track is pretty big here," says Perry. “We always get a lot of girls out." The Trojans finished third in the O-K Blue a year ago behind Hudsonville and Caledonia. Perry is hoping the depth of her team is enough to overtake Hudsonville and Caledonia. “Our depth is super,” she says. "Ail those seconds and thirds we might get will make the difference.” Perry doesn't see any reason for p-’tomatically picking Hudsonville and Caledonia as shoo-ins for an O-K Blue title. "I think we'll be in competition for that," she says of the title. "Everybody has to stay healthy." - Perry says co-captains Jeanna VanderMeulen and Chris Wheeler will be keys to Middleville's success this year. Wheeler is the defending conference champion in the 110 low hurdles while Jean a will be working to improve her third place finish In the 440. "Both girls offer strong leadership to the other 45 girls on the team," notes Perry. Other senior returnees include Norma Carpenter (distances) and Amber Steeby (relays). Juniors back are Dawn Bos (hurdles), L‘sa Kaminski (sprints), Julie Wilson (shot-discus), and Brenda VanDuine (middle distances). Two key sophomores are Brenda Page (high jump) and Wanda Carpenter (distances). Another girl who isn't a returning let­ terwinner is freshman Trena Yonkers.

Don’t use the term rebuilding around Steve Secor. The Lakewood softball coach realizes trying to match last year’s outstanding 20-7 overall and 10-2 Tri River marks won’t be as easy as passing a Sesame Street quiz. Secor greets six returning letterwinners back from an outstandng team. Gone are the Vikings’ starting pitcher, catcher and two outfielders from a year ago. As Secor says, "We lost four or five good players ” But don't feel all that sorry for the 1984 Lakewood softball team. Back are second baseman-pitcher Shawn Kilbourn, catcher-third baseman Becky Geiger, thirdbaseman-first baseman Michelle Behrenwald, outfielder Sherri Graham, shortstop Teresa Rose, and first baseman Melanie Thompson. "We're still a good team," notes Secor. >rWe can hit and field and we have three or four pitchers." Secor says the pitching, crippled by the loss of three-year starter Carrie Price, has to come through. Of those four pitchers, only one is a senior while two others played jayvee ball a a year ago. “It's the key," he says of the pitching. So far after two games the pitching has held up fine. The Vikings blasted Maple Valley 17-6 and IM in a doubleheader last week. Thompson and Behrenwald had seven hits each in the two games and Kilbourn added five others. Sophomore Annette Roth and Kilbourn picked up the wins. Secor says Greenville, with its 12-0 record last year, has its top pi t ch er back and should be considered the Tri River favorite. Greenville was the only Tri River team to beat Lakewood a year ago. Fremont and Lowell are considered darkhoraes by Secor, who thinks Lakewood doos fit somewhere in the league title pic­ ture. "We have an excellent group of athlete? here," he says. “It’s as strong as last year’s team as long as the pitching holds up."

MV softball hastens rebuilding After a 5-16 record a year ago, Maple Valley girls softball coach Chris Ricketts knew his team would be undergoing a rebuilding job this spring. No problem, says Ricketts. •‘We’re way ahead of schedule," says Ricketts, whose team has split four contests so far. After losing both ends of a season­ opening doubieheader with Lakewood, Maple Valley crushed Caledonia 23-8 and Pennfield 19-9. Ricketts has only five lettermen back from last year. Heading the list is senior catcher Jamie Carpenter. Carpenter was named to the al I-SM AA team last year and is currently slapping the ball around at an .800 clip this year. Other returning letterwinners include seniors Tammy Corkins at third. Barb Gurd at pitcher, Duska Morawski as a utility player and junior Jackie Gardner at first and in the outfield. Ricketts says his team will have decent speed on the bases, will play adequate defense, and will be aggressive at the plate. The problem? Consistency. "If we can keep some consistency going we’ll win more games than we did last year," says Ricketts, now in his second year as varsity coach. Scoring runs, he says, won’t be any trouble."With the weather being what it has been so far. it's hard to tell," he says. 'We seem to be more aggressive at the plate and I know we're more aggressive on the bases." One thing that may help the team over­ come its inexperience is confidence. Ricketts says his players are becoming more ac­ customed to his softball program. "It looks like they're more confident with the system," he says. Lakewood baseball team expects to finish in the middle of conference pack Denny Richardson doesn't project winning a Tri River baseball title in his first year of varsity coaching. But then again, you never know. Richardson, Lakewood's jayvee baseball coach the last four years, steps into the head varsity position after Wes Vandenburg left the Lakewood system last spring. Richard­ son said the coaching change won 1 affect his players or the Viking coaching system. "My system was like Wes’,” says Richardson. "There won't be much of a change. The kids will be accustomed." Richardson has 10 returning letterwinners on his roster including an entire starting infield and three pitchers. Dave Joppie, a .311 hitter a year ago, returns to shortstop while Dave Barker will be at second, Don Wiser at third and Greg Duits at first. Mike Smith heads the outfield. The junior pitcher-outfielder hit .329 with three homers and 16 rbi last year. He was named to the Tri River team. Jim Carr will also see duty in the outfield as well as catcher. Heading the mound corps is Jerry Mast, who was 4-2 with a 1.84 ERA last season.

Ann Haglund has only one lettermen — junior Rhonda Martin in the hurdles — returning from a winless season. As a result Haglund has to turn to a fresh­ man crop that she says, "is pretty good. We don’t have a lot of girls but what we do have are good.” Haglund lists freshmen Michelle Eckman (sprints), Becky Martin (sprinter, high jump), Lisa Howard (half mile). Carol Seasal (440, half mile), and Pam Quigley (miler) as keys to Lakewood's success. Considering the team's inexperience, Haglund has set modest goals for her girls. "I'm real concerned about setting personal goals for the girls," she says. "They just need to get their feet wet and improve their times.” Also with a young team, Haglund realizes there will have to be numerous adjustments made along.the way. The Lakewood coach plans on being patient. "It might take half the season to get all the girls in the right spots,” she says. The Vikings opened their season last week by losing 69-59 to Maple Valley. Lakewood notched nine firsts in the meet. Lakewood isn’t expected to challenge for a Tri River track champioi^hip this spring, but according to coach Marty Snoap anything is possible. Snoap has a bundle of returning lettermen from which to build and he isn’t expecting any middle of the pack finish for his team. “We’re picked for fourth place in a strong Tri River, but don't be surprised when we puli off a big upset at the conference finals on May 24," says Snoap.

The Maple Valley girls track coach has only six lettermen back from a team that compiled a 3-8 record a year ago. Hamilton knows the situation and sees only one cure. "There is talent here," he says. "It's just a case of how hard the girls will work to get what they want." Considering the inexperience. Hamilton says a .500 season would be acceptable "We're hoping for a .500 year.” he says "It depends on how they come along, they’ll have to improve."

Hamilton says the team will be par­ ticularly strong in the sprints with Peake, Franks, and Carmen Hamilton and in the relays. Potential weak spots include the hurdles and distances. Hamilton says Olivet and Bronson traditionally have strong girls track programs and will again this year. Maple Valley will have to battle it out with Springfield and St. Philip. The team is off to a slow start with losses against Charlotte. 122-5. and Potterville. 9131. under its belt.

Maple Valley diamond squad to make title run Larry Lenz thinks a Southern Michigan Athletic Association baseball title is within reach of his team. The Maple Valley coach believes the Lions (15-6 overall, 8-4 league) possess superb pitching and enough hitting and competent defense to wrestle the title away from rival Pennfield. Lenz calls his pitching staff, "as good a one as I've ever had. There are four kids I feel comfortable with." Heading that staff is Lenz's son Greg, an all-SMAA performer as a junior a year ago. Lenz hit a cool .303 with 23 rbis last season. Joining him on the staff is another all­ leaguer in senior Jeff Starring (.281 average last year). Other returnees are Ihree-year letterman Marty Martin (.294), third baseman-pitcher Luke Potter (.300), leftfielder Ryan Trowbridge (.291), thirdbaseman-DH John Myers, and rightfielders Eric Brown and Scott Whitmore. The team’s outfield will be gifted with a certain amount of experience. Lenz said he is looking for Brown and Whitmore to platoon in right while Trowbridge and Martin will be in left and center. The infield, however, is not as fortunate in the experience department. Potter will be a fixture at third, but inexperience is the word at second and short. Lenz hopes Jeff Hamilton will make the smooth transition from the basketball court and shortstop position and if that happens, the infield will be solid. The Maple Valley baseball *eom: (front row from left) Sarah Curtiss, Mark Vaidick, Ken Trumble, Jeff Garber, Jeff Hamilton, Jeff Starring (second row) Scot Lenz, Ron Hull, Dean Stewart, John Myers, Marty Martin, Larry Lenz (third row) Luke Potter. Scott Whitmore, Scott Joostbefns. Eric Brown, Brock DeGroot (back row) Craig Ostergren. Greg Lenz, Chug Maurer, Ryan Trowbridge, Kurt Hartenburg. Greg Lenz and Starring will share the catching position depending on who is on the mound that day. Neither has seen any ex­ perience at catcher but both are fine athletes and should be able to handle the position, says the elder Lenz. The team admittedly has some holes to plug and Lenz is hoping he has the people to fill them with. “I think we have enough experience to challenge for the league title," says Lenz, who lists Pennfield as the leading contender. The Panthers captured the SMAA title a year ago. along the way nipping the Lions twice, 53 and 5-4. After Pennfield, Lenz notes Bronson, with Us experience pitching staff, and St. Philip, with its hitters, as darkhorses. "Pennfield has to be a touch above anyone else, but after that anybody has a chance." says Lenz. The Lions have already played a pair of games losing to Caledonia 7-6. while edging Lakewood 4-2. The Caledonia loss was highlighted by a two-run homer by Lenz, his third in two years against the Scots. Lenz was the winning pitcher in relief against Lakewood striking out six and allowing no walks. �The Hastings Banner— Thursday. April 19. 1984, Page 15 Words for the Y’s Tumbling - Starting Friday.

Do we dare hope it will stay? 1 keep remembering those April blizzards and am a little suspicious of these beautiful days. But they have been just that, temperatures are getting up into the high 50s during sunny days and nights have not even produced frosts lately. Hastings Jaycees earn district award The Hastings Jaycees were given the "Most Improved Chapter” award .a District 9-C at a recent year-end regional meeting in Caledonia. Receiving the "Most Outstanding Chap­ ter" award u<»s Caledonia, headed by President Yogi Bereusci. "The Hastings Jaycees earned the award for their hard work in taking a chapter that was in danger of losing it chapter status," said local President Steve Jacobs, "and bringing it back to a solid chapter with 25 members working for their community." Jacobs invited any young man, 18 to 36 years, who wants to help himself and his community to come to a meeting. The club meets the first Thursday of each month at 7:30 p.m. in the Hastings Elks Lodge. The upcoming meetings in May and June will see a new slate of officers assuming leadership roles. Heading them as president will be Stacey Garrison. Library contest winners named Two Hastings fifth graders won the recent “Missing President” Contest, held at the Hastings Public Library. Chris Richardson, son of Mr. and Mrs. Norman Richardson of 1517 S. Broadway, and Joe Williams, son of Mr. and Mrs. R. Don Williams of 3800 Lawrence, both correctly picked Woodrow Wilson as the missing president. In addition they correctly answered the question “Why are their only 38 presidential coins when Reagan is the 40th chief executive”, the answer being that Grover Ctevland was elected to two seperate terms rather than consecutive ones. Chris, a student at Central Elementary, and Joe, a student at Southeastern Elementary, received gift certificates from Books, Etc. Lida Belson having 98th birthday on April 20 Lida J. Belson, formerly of Rutland Twp. and now a resident at Barry County Medical Care Facility, will be celebrating her 98th birthday Friday, April 20. She would greatly enjoy hearing from friends and relatives. Cards may be sent to her at 2700 Nashville Rd., Hastings, MI 49058. Before we get into the good stuff (fishing), a few words on fire danger. Burning index has been high to extreme the past two days and is expected to continue like this for a while. The index is determined by tem­ peratures relative humidity and wind speed. Vegetation is still a ways from greenup so we could definitely have problems. Please think twice before doing any burning for a while — it can get away so easily. Contact your local fire department before doing any open burning; a permit is required. Fishing: It is hard enough to work ndoors on these beautiful days but it becomes almost unbearable when all the ports you call for reports rant and rave about how good the fishing is. Gee wtz, it's not nearly as much fun writing about it. Anyway, fishing is very good and following are the details by port. New Buffalo - Boats are taking their limit of coho. Steelhead and brown trout on alewives and smelt for fishermen casting from shore. The Steelheaders organization is building a cleaning and casting ramp on city property in the river. St. Joseph-Benton Harbor - Excellent for coho, some other species being taken oc­ casionally. Hot-n-tots and wiggle warts good for trollers and night crawlers and little cleos off the piers. Many boats catching their limit within a couple hours. South Haven • Ditto the above — also using spawn on the piers. A few browns taken in the river below the bridge. Saugatuck - Piers have slowed down a bit but trollers are having excellent success. Again, limit catches of coho with a few steelhead and brown trout. Hot-n-tots, little hobo's and tad pollies working good. Few people fishing the river yet. Inland Waters - Perch spawning is at its peak right now. Fish are in shallow water, a few people were out the past weekend with fair success. No reports yet on smelt. Spearing for suckers, carp, gar, and bowfin is open now in non-trout streams. It does not open in lakes until May 1. Fisheries Division is winding down its musky egg take and is finished taking pike eggs. They took ?4 million pike eggs which will be hatched out at Wolf Lake Fish Hat­ chery then will be raised in rearing ponds throughout the state. Crews are also preparing the walleye ponds and pike marshes in this district for rearing. Other Outdoor Shorts: Sunday begins the ban on field dog training Turkeys are becoming quite active now — a good time for scouting and call practicing. ORACLE' Sources of wisdom &. good taste.

(tfn) Girls golf returns to Hastings lineup Girls golf, which has only dotted Hastings’ spring sports lineup once in the last four years, returns to the fold this spring. The team will be painfully young this year with only one girl, senior Angie Weller, having ever played on a Saxon team. Jodi Miller is the only other senior on the team. Five of the girls on the team have never played nine holes of golf in their lives. Hastings currently has 11 freshmen on the team including captain Christine Arnold and Amy Andrus, who has meet medalist in each of the team’s first two matches this year. Other freshmen on the team are Sue Strong, Stacy Nichols, Lisa Hammond, Kim Michael, Kim Fox, Tracy Varney, Karen Gibson, Michelle Melody, and Nancy Petersen. The team is coached by Gordon Cole, who realizes the Saxons have their work cut out for them. “We hope to see a lot of learning and progress this year,” says Cole, who is also the Hastings boys golf coach. "It’s an ex­ cellent group of girls and it takes a lot for them to come out and know they're going to take their lumps." The team has already suffered losses against Caledonia and Charlotte, but Cole notes some bright spots. "We definitely improved between the meets," he says. "We just need to play more." on WBCH Mon., April 23 FROM ABC RADIO SPORTS! Maple Valley track, continued 330 low hurdles, and the pole vault.

Hastings Volume 129, No. 17, Hastings. Michigan Time Begins Sat that clock ahead on Sunday You’ll lose an hour this Sunday,but you’ll get it back in October. Daylight-saving time begins at 2 t.m. this Sunday and clocks should be set ahead one how. Some suggest that it’s easier to set clocks ahead before they go to steep Saturday night to help minimise the change. Clocks will remain ahead one hour until 2 a.m. on the last Sunday in Oc­ tober when they are set back an hour. Daylight-saving time became a federal law in 1974 as an energy con­ servation measure. At that time it established a year-round day-light time, but it was modified to eight months in 1975 and then switched to six months in 1976. The Transportation Department administers the daylight-saving time law which observed in all states except Arizona, Hawaii, and most of Indiana. Price 25* Schools to spend $70,000 on windows by Nerna Acker Hastings school officials have accepted a $70,850 bid from a Lansing firm to replace wood window frames in the 54-year-old Central Elementary School with aluminum one*. Robert Miller, director of operational services, said that Metal Building Specialty Company of Lansing was awarded the bid for window replacement. “They will remove all existing windows and replace them with custom built aluminum windows with an interior por­ celain panel," Miller said. James Toburen, chairman of the school board’s property and insurance committee, said that the decision to go with aluminum windows was based on conservation of energy, maintenance and the appearance of Ike building. • “We wanted to make the least possible change in the character of the building,” Toburen said. He also said that the maintenance staff told the committee that approximately one Salary board named by commissioners Daylight Banner Thursday, April 26, 1984 Private insurance company in­ vestigator* are probing the fire that did flis;ooo to a Gull Lake residence Wednesday.

It is reported that the home was covered by heat and smoke when the units arrived, bat firefighters were able to contain the Naze to the living room of the home. The ocogMnts of the home had reportedly left the residence for Kalamazoo at about 2 p.m. No injiries were reported. APRIL M Page 2 ^^Devoted to the Interests of Barry County Since 1856 | Gull Lake blaze under Investigation The Barry County Board of Com­ missioners .Tuesday appointed six persons to Its newly-formed Com­ pensation Board, a body that’s been established to set salaries for members of the commission and other elected cowty official*. Selected to sit on the board for terms ranging from four years to one year were Robert Picking of Hastings, Frank Rothftiss of Hastings, Vernon Fanke of Prairieville Township, Larry Raffier of Woodland Township, Jan Mallett of Hastings, and Al BeU of Maple Grove Township. A seventh appointee must still be selected. Under regulations governing such bodies, the board has « days after ita first meeting— expected to take place within the next 30 days— to decide on IMS and IMS salaries for these county officials.

The board to expected to meet about far times this spring and summer, once its organized No funds; RR crossings bumpy window is nroten per week and that aluminum window* require the least amount of time and money for glass replacement. State Lw dictates that any school project exceeding $10,000 in cost must be opened for bids and that specifications must be drawn up and approved by an architect. Bids were received from three out-of-town firms and one local firm, which bid only on wood windows. The three firms bidding on aluminum windows and their bids were Architectural Building Products of Lansing, $88,710; Exterior Building Material Company of Detroit, $103,365; and Metal Building Specialty Company of Lansing, $70,850. Barry County Lumber Home Center of Hastings bid $66,97714 for white wood windows and $70 069.49 for a bronze wood window. Exterior Building Material Com­ pany and Metal Building Specialty Company submitted bids of $88,000 and $63,988, respectively, for wood windows. James Wtswell, owner of Barry County Lumber Home Center, said that he respected the integrity of the committee members and supported their decision to go with the aluminum windows 100 percent. James L. Peterson, local contractor who's bid for labor was included in the Barry County Lumber package, said that their bid for only wood windows was made because aesthetically they felt it was the right thing to do. “We felt the window we bid was more energy efficient,” Peterson said. He said the total package was more ef­ ficient because window size would be reduced and more insulation would be added above the windows because of the reduction in size. Toburen said that the board would like to use local contractors whenever possible, but said that it was a maintenance decision to use aluminum windows. Metal Building Specialties Company received the job as the lowest bidder of aluminum windows. Funds for the project are being taken from the energy conservation money borrowed last spring.

Home&Auto Show opens doors today Fifty-one booths and six-outdoor displays featuring everything from exotic flowers to pest controls will be highlighted at the 11th annual Home and Auto Show which opens today (Thursday) in Hastings and continues through Saturday. The show, free to the public and sponsored by the Hastings Area Chamber of Com­ merce, will be held at the Barry County Fairgrounds. Hours are 3-9 pm. Thursday and 12 noon to 9 p.m. on both Friday and Saturday. The sights and sounds of the '50s era will set the pace for this year's show theme. Many booths will be decorated to coincide with a *50e motiff and proprietors will be dressed in attire from that era. Music, featuring the beat of the '50s, will be provided by WBCH Radio. Visitors to the show will be eligible to sign­ up for nearly $1,000 in prizes which will in­ clude an RCA 19-inch color TV, a barbeque grill, a vaccuum cleaner and many other household gifts to be given away.

Conf/nuecf fo page 2 Because bids for an extensive energy conservation project were approximately $150,000 higher than expected, the DeltonKellogg Board of Education Monday decided to delay taking action on them until mem­ bers meet with representatives of the ar­ chitectural firm involved. A special board meeting has been set for 7 p.m. Monday, April 30 to discuss the high bids with officials from Daverman and Associates of Grand Rapids. The board has already approved borrowing some $372,000 for building im­ provements that Daverman recommended to conserve energy usage in the district’s three buildings. Of that, $295,000 will be In­ vested into construction and materials and the remaining $77,000 will be for ar­ chitectural fees and related costs. The conservation project will save the school district a significant amount of money in future years, and will pay for itself down the road. Dr. John Sanders, superintendent, said. • Bids for the project were opened last week and cost projections, especially in the area of mechanical improvements, were higher than Daverman had estimated, Sanders said. Consequently, he said, the board wanted to rethink the matter and find out why the bids are higher than original estimates. Daverman projected the estimated costs of the project based on the experience it has Continued to page 2 Jacobs Circle owners request city street The City of Hastings has been petitioned to accept the deed to Jacobs Circle, a private drive located off Indian Hills Dr., for a dedicated public right of way. The owners of the three homes located there petitioned the city Monday night for year-round maintenance of the 1.050-foot long drive. The street is currently without curb and gutter, storm sewer, city water or sewage. Homeowners draw their water from a well, and use a septic tank. And the street measures 23 feet in width, less than the minimum 36 feet accepted by the city. The request was turned over to the council's Streets and Lighting Committee. The petition is signed by Mr and Mrs. Jerald Jacobs. 1752 Jacobs Circle, Mr. and Mrs. Paul Slahiman, 1748 Jacobs Circle. Mr. and Mrs. Dale Hoekstra. 1740 Jacobs Circle, and Mr. and Mrs. Richard Jacobs, 1730 N. Broadway. In the petition, Richard Jacobs pointed out the streel was constructed by Duane Hamilton, "according to Hastings street specifications," with a 66-foot wide right of way. a 12-inches sand base, and eight inches gravel. It is 40 feet wide, with a 12-inch drainage tube 49 feet long installed, and finished with 2 to 24 inches of blacktop over a 23-foot wide roadway. In other business: Council approved a motion by Finance Committee Chairman Mary Spackman to extend the deadline for city depatment budgets to the first meeting in May. •This will give department heads more time to cut from their budgets," said Spack­ man. City Clerk Sharon Vickery said deparmenl heads need more time to meet over their budgets. "We're still not at a zero balance yet,” said Vickery. Council granted the Hastings Exchange Club the right to sell hot dogs and Coke at Bob King Park on May 19, during a celebration of Michigan Week. Activities to be included in the park that day include a bike rodeo, petting zoo, pet parade and a story hour, all sponsored by the Exchange Club. Council approved a request to send Fire Chief Roger Caris to the Annual Fire Chief Convention in Midland July 14, with all necessary expenses.

Democrat McInerney announces for Congress Gary McInerney, 35, became the third candidate for Congress in the Fifth District •’to travel to Hastings to announce his can­ didacy when he greeted local Democrats, last week. McInerney was preceded on April 9 when Republicans State Sen. Paul Henry and Keary Sawyer traveled here to make their announcements. McInerney is the only Democrat to announce, thus far, and in a consolidation effort by Fifth District Democrats is expected to be the only can­ didate to seek the Democratic nomination. The candidates are vying for the seat of Rep. Harold Sawyer. R-Rockford, who is retiring after winning four terms. McInerney and Keary Sawyer were law partners in Grand Rapids until two weeks ago. when Sawyer formed his own firm because he was announcing for Congress. Leading an entourage of some 30 people, Wednesday, McInerney staged his an­ nouncement at the Barry County Cour­ thouse. He was greeted by Robert Edwards, Democratic county chairman, and Democratic County Commissioners James Gordon and Bernard Hammond. A Grand Rapids native, McInerney graduated from East Grand Rapids High School, the University of Notre Dame and Notre Dame Law School. He currently is president of the law firm Murphy, Burns and McInerney, P.C. and specializes in trial practice. Among his community activities, be was the 1977 fund chairperson for the West Michigan Environmental Action Council, a member of the Coalition for Better Waste Management, the 1964 president of the Downtown Rotary Club in Grand Rapids, the 1983 chairperson for the Grand Rapids YWCA campaign, former president and a member of the Catholic Social Services Executive Board, a member of the executive board of the Kent County Legal Aid and Defender Association and former vicepresident of West Michigan Legal Aid.

Pogo 2 VJ£WP.QINT: RR track improvements to be slow by Ken Reibel Hastings residents will have to bear with the bumps as they cross over most of the city’s old railroad crossings in the coming year. Mike Klovanich. director of public works for the City of Hastings, said city crews will improve the Michigan Ave. — Apple St. crossing this spring, at a cost of $30,000. However, he said lack of funds in his department's construction budget will probably mean that the other dozen or so crossings maintained by the city will remain bumpy through the 1984-85 budget year. Editorial Community events: A good part of small towns There’s nothing like community events to make you realize the good things about living in a small town. This weekend Hastings has the Home and Auto Show, Vermontville has its annual syrup festival and the Lakewood area has its Friend­ ship Festival. Three cheers for small town life. The annual Home and Auto Show is one of the biggest business events of the year. Nearly 50 exhibitors will put their best products on display for you at the fairgrounds. Your local merchants go to a lot of extra effort to put up booth displays and bring in special merchandise while they continue to operate their regular locations during the three day event. One of the fa *orite parts of the show for many people is the opportunity to greet old friends and to make new ones. An evening at the show is like a hometown reunion, where you’re likely to run into a long lost classmate or former co-worker. One thing that the merchants and we like is the opportunity for people to become personally acquainted with the business owners. We know that shoppers feel more comfortable in and trusting of any business when they know the owner on a first name basis. When you go to Vermontville, you won't see a stage show featuring Hank Williams, Jr., Wayne Newton, Bob Hope, Chevy Chase or Bob Seger. But you’ll see some good entertainment Besides local people on stage, highlights of the weekend will be the West Ottawa Dutch Dancers and the First Marine Band of Howell, both of which are not professional groups but are community entertainment groups from other areas. There will be contests and dancing, local people giving demonstrations of syrup­ making, re-enactments of old-time melodramas and plenty of good pancakes, steak and chicken. The Syrup Festival, now in its 44th year, is great family fun. At Lakewood, ’’Caring is Sharing” is the theme of the 6th annual Friendship Festival. The festival is held to raise money for the Lakewood Hunger Coalition, which provides funds for needy people in the community Along with some del*dous baked goods (be sure to try the doughnuts), the festival features craft booths and demonstrations, including watercolors, flower arrangements, quilting and even fly-tying. You won't find any famous designer labels on the items for sale, but you will Find items with hours of painstaking, heart-felt work behind them. In fact, painstaking, heart-felt work is behind all of the weekend's events. Nothing happens in a small town without some dedicated people who set their sights on a project and move forward until it is completed. Tbit* of the countless hours that have been unselfishly devoted to just these three events. Lockhw aheed, the summer is full of fun activities for the family that take just as much effort as these and nearly all of it is done with only volunteer labor. And these events are just part of what’s good about living in a small town.

Everyone who stope by their booth will receive a free liter bag. Televisions, v’deo tape and disc players, video cameras, police scanners, cordless telephones and a car stero are among the items that will be displayed in Music Cen­ ter’s booth. At Pennock Hospital’s booth, show visitors can have their blood pressure taken and their blood typed.

Although some of the bids Delton received were in-line with estimated costs, Sanders said the board wants to know the total cost of the project before accepting any bids. Bids were received in four different areas: Hastings electrical work, temperature, architectua) and mechanical. Sanders said some of the bids are higher than estimated costs because of the age of some of the district's buildings. "Construction problems of older buildings are more complicated,” he said.

Michigan Week agenda set The Hastings Exchange Club, along with several other local organizations, will be staging various activities or the com­ munity's observance of Michigan Week on May 19-25. For the past 30 years Michigan Week has been an important statewide celebration with events and awards that recognize the state's citizens, resources and heritage. The 1984 version of Michigan Week, as in past years, will have a different theme for each day, and locally activities have been planned to center around those themes. Saturday. May 19, is "Hometown and Family. Days”. A community picnic will be held at Bob King Park with group games, craft demonstrations, a petting zoo, a bicycle rodeo, story periods, a dunk tank, mini­ Olympics, and a pet parade scheduled. Sunday is "Heritage Day” with special activities, depicting the area’s history, to be conducted at Charlton Park. Monday is "Government Day” and the ninth graders will be visiting many of the local government offices, meeting with officials who will discuss their responsibilities. Tuesday is “Agriculture Day" and the Co­ operative Extension office will sponsor a display of Michigan farm products, a maple syrup display and a promotional display from the Michigan Milk Producer’s Association. Wednesday is "Commerce Day” and the Hastings Chamber of Com­ merce will be sponsoring displays and competing tours of local businesses and industries. Thursday is “Exchange Day" with local school districts and the Barry Intermediate School District sponsoring Project Close-Up in which 150 high school students from Hastings and Delton will participate in meetings about government programs and the operation of political parties. In addition, local schools will sponsor special units of study and activities for Michigan Week. Memorial books at library . n the new-book truck this week are six books given as memorials. The Hastings Women’s Club each year memorializes its deceased members and has chosen four books in memory of Angeline Barden, Sadie Mae Brower, Julie Birke, Rebecca Hodges, and Mary Jane Johnston The books are: "Let’s Make a Patchwork Quilt", by Jessie MacDonald and Marian H. Shafer; "The Victor Handbook of Bible Knowledge”, by V. Gilbert Beers, “Norman Vincent Peale's Treasury of Joy and En- Friday is “Travel and Tourism Day” and the Barry County Tourism Council, in cooperation with the county transit system, will conduct a day-long tour of points of in­ terest in the county. The Exchange Club assumed respon­ sibility for the observance of Michigan Week activities in Hastings last spring as a newlyorganized club. The service-oriented organization con­ ducts a weekly breakfast meeting every Thursday and sponsors several special programs to improve community life. Klovanich said most of the expense of smoothing out a crossing comes in replacing curb and gutter, and changing the road grade at the tracks. "We could tear out the tracks, and blacktop over, but it would still be rough," said Klovanich. "In most cases, the road grade at the crossing matches the tracks for drainage purposes." Klovanich said, however, that blacktop would probably be used to cover up some of the crossings, until such a time as the city can smooth out the grades. He said that at several crossings, such as at Boltwood and State St., the tracks are set in three feet of concrete, making it more trouble, and more expensive, to level the existing grade. "People just think about what's on top of the track," said Klovanich. “We have to think about what's underneath the tracks, that’s important too." Klovanich said some of the most expensive crossings to remove are on Market, Washington and Park Streets, where the roads rise three to four feet to meet the tracks. Klovanich said that if the humps are removed, underlying water mains will have to be dug out and reburied to keep them from freezing in the winter. Klovanich said work on the Michigan Ave. crossing will probably begin this spring, and will involve replacing the road surface on 75 feet either side of the tracks. He added that the work will probebly take more than a week to complete. Meanwhile, the State of Michigan has awarded a contract for 545,600 to Beasley’s Asphalt of Lansing to tear out and smooth over three area crossings — in Nashville, Caledonia and the N. Broadway crossing in Hastings. Clyde Maylath, assistant district engineer in the Portage office, said the contractor has been given 30 days to complete work on all three crossings. He added that the work will start this spring. PUBLIC OPINION Worried about your water? thusiasm", and “Seeds of Greatness: the Ten Best-Kept Secrets of Total Succesa", by Denis Waitley.

McInerney, continued going to listen to the concerns of his con­ stituents...." He said that the foremost issue in his campaign is going to be unemployment, which he said leads to unemployment fallout that cuts at the foundation of the human being and the family structure. He said that unemployment fallout can lead to abuse in a family, substance abuse and crime. “If we can’t give people the very basic need of a job, then we’ve got no business spending billions of dollars trying to defend our boundaries," he continued. "Certainly it's important that we have a strong defense. But I think we have to reprioritize where we put our money in this country." He said that one way he would help to attract business to west Michigan would be to form a venture capital fund that would be available to introduce state and federal dollars that would be invested in new technologies. McInerney is married to the former Juliet Ryan, a teacher at Creston High School. They have four sons. Write us a letter!

LETTERS to the Editor: Bob Harvey Art Steward Question Sr.citizens alerted To the Editor: I would like to alert all citizens, par­ ticularly senior citizens and those on fixed incomes, of a Federal law which prohibits using vacant land as collateral for a loan. Recently. I went to a bank for a loan using several acres of vacant land as collateral. This is tillable land for cash crop fanning rating among the highest producing soils in Michigan of grain crops; and the balance is wooded acreage with limber and firewood value. My land was recently appraised at a good value, and I’ve paid $17 per acre per year property taxes for many years now just for the privilege of owning it. holding on to it for security. To my surprise I was informed by the bank that land without a building on it is not worth ten cents borrowing power because it can not be used as collateral and that the only thing I could do is liquidate. Therefore to anyone who has vacant land thinking it can be used in an emergency loan situation as collateral - please be aware that you do "not’’ have this "ace in the hole” which you too may have counted on for many years. Ron Harriman The Detroit Free Press has recently published a series of articles which point out that there is considerable groundwater pollution in Michigan. Are you worried about the water you drink? V. Harry Adrounle, Hastings: "I think the people should be worried about their water, because it’s not an endless resource." Adrounie, chairman of the Barry County Solid Waste Planning Commission, said townships and villages will soon benefit from the Southwest Michigan Groundwater Survey and Monitoring Program. "The program will let every unit know the quality of its waler. Through it, we can monitor the baseline data to know where to place our industry, parks, homes and so on." Adrounie said the plan has the backing of the DNR, governor's office, and the state health department. Steve Vipond. Hastings: ’‘Definitely. Water is used in more than drinking; we cook and bath with it. too. I think we should be concerned with the water we use. The thing that puzzles me is why are we now finding contamination that has been in the water for years? Why are we just now being concerned about it? Marge Radant. Hastings: "I'm concerned about groundwater contamination in Wayne Peacock Sheldon general, but not in Hastings. I don't know if there is a water problem here, but I trust the city officials to check it out for me." Judy Wymer. Hastings: "Definitely. I used to live in Hastings, here in town, and didn’t like the water then. I live in the country now, and the water is belter. I think the water problem is getting worse. I remember what the water was like when I was growing up, and 1 think it tastes and smells different now." Bob Harvey. Nashville: “Yes, you're stupid if you aren’t (worried!. If you're not worried about what's happening around you in your environment, eventually it's going to catch up to you.” Art Steward. Hastings: "Not really. There are people who test the water here and I trust them. I( there was a problem, they’d alert us." Wayne Peacock. Paw Paw: "To an extent I guess. I’m not really worried about it at home but our water at work has been polluted." Julie Sheldon. Hastings: "I'm always worried. Beth Valentine is a friend of mine who prosecutes water pollution offenders and I’ve heard her speak. She says ground water pollution is a problem and that it is the ordinary citizen who usually gathers the information that leads to prosecution.” �The Hastings Banner— Thursday.

White Canes on sale by Lions Helping the sightless has been an ongoing concern for the many Lions Clubs across both the state and nation for several decades. This year is no exception. April 27-May 5 is "White Cane Week" those clubs, including the Hastings one, will be selling minature versions o. the white cane — the 'Traffic Symbol of the Blind". Money raised by the sales, in addition to providing those canes, will help fund the organization's various sight-oriented programs. Locally Lions Club members will be seeking donations both Friday and Saturday evenings from 4 to 8 p.m. at Felpausch Food Center, Eberhard's, the local factories, and at the Hastings Home and Auto Show. Among the programs which the donations help support are the “Leader Dog School for the Blind", "Sightmobile Programs (with free sight screening in local communities); the "Welcome Home for the Blind” (designed to fill the needs of the aged sightless); the “Michigan Lions Eye Bank"; and the “Lions Care Program” (in which American purchased materials are distributed by Lions to those in need in other countries). The idea of the white cane for the blind is credited to Lion George M. Bonham who, in 1930, was president of the Peoria, Illinois Club. Through his efforts the club presented white canes to the blind of that city. In 1932 the presentation of the white cane was adopted as an international movement. In 1936 the movement was brought to the attention of the (Michigan) state legislature and the White Cane Ordinance was passed, giving the blind person with a cane the right of way with oncoming traffic. The Lions have also been instrumental in securing legislation that allows a person with a leader dog to use various.public and semi­ public places. The club noted that there are about 14,000 blind persons in Michigan dependent upon the "White Cane" Program. Trouble Hearing C. Wendell Strickland ALL LINES OF INSURANCE 112 E.

Old barbed wire: a prickly hobby by Elaine Gilbert As the Western plains were settled over a century ago. barbed wire earned a reputation that has nearly been forgotten. The facts concerning its invention and development comprise a story that in its broad scope prevades the history of our nation and represents a link with the past. When the American pioneers settled the prairies and plains, they found that wood was scarce, so "live fences” were planted. Osage orange and Cherokee rose were the most widely used, as these bushy plants grew strong and dense and provided long, sharp thorns. The invention of barbed wire was in­ spired by these (homed shrubs. In thebeginning, the prickly wire was rejected by farmers and ranchers as being too weak. Somecriticizedit as too cruel to animals, but salesmen and promoters soon convinced the settlers of its merits, and the barbed wire boom was on. Many persons entered the business of making barbed wire because the Western frontier had thousands of acres to be fenced. Each manufacturer had his unique design and hundreds of different varieties were patented. Bloody wars developed as people fenced grasslands, waterholes and public trails. Cattlemen wanted open grazing, while farmers wanted to keep livestock out of their cultivated land, so fence cutting ran wild. In time, conflict by force ended, and legislatures and courts resolved differences. The long list of inventors of barbed wire includes the name of William D. Hunt. Of this group, Hunt stands foremost as the originator of wire ar­ med for defensive purposes with sharp points or spurs. This wire was difficult and costly to construct Less than a mile of it was built. Hunt sold his patent rights to Charles Kennedy. The patent was then reissued and held to be of great value. Although other inventors had made barbed wire for fencing, J. F. Glidden of Illinois is often credited with being the inventor of barbed wire for fencing, because he was able to make it com­ mercially. Patent No. 157, 124, the “Winner", was issued to Glidden in November of 1874. It proved to be more popular than any other style of wire, and outsold ail other types and styles of barbed wire fencing. There are several interesting stories told concerning the reasons why Glidden made barbed wire fencing. One of these is to the effect that his wife wanted her flower garden protected from roaming dogs and asked him to string some plain wire around the flower garden. Since the smooth wire was not effective, Glidden placed short pieces uf wire around the plain wire, thus forming barbs, and no further difficulty was encountered. Glidden made his first wire by put­ tingbarbs on a single strand of wire but This week featuring... Leona Clark Leona Clark knows what work is all about. She's done everything from baling hay to inhome nursing care, her current field. The Clarks are well-known in the area for their many years in dairy farming. She and husband, Robert, sold their Brogan Rd. farm two years ago, be. traces of their former life are preserved inside and out at their home on Bedford Rd. You can't miss the statue of the Holstein cow in the front yard. In the back yard, a sign that had been posted on their dairy farm is as much a part of the scenery as it was back then. Inside, Leona's collection of milk bottles and pitchers are a charming addition to the decor. Even her favorite recipe, which she shares with readers this week, is dairyoriented. It contains butter, milk and cheese. Leona and her husband owned their farm for 32-years and she pitched in to help with the outdoor chores as well as take care of the house and children. "I baled all the hay for many years and fed the calves," she says. Some of her fondest times on the farm were packing up a lunch (and the kids) to take out to her husband in the field. "I always made a picuic out of it...After lunch the kids would sleep under a tree or take naps under the wagon. The kids grew up out there. It was a real fun part (of fanning), out it wasn't easy (preparing a meal to take to the field). Sometimes the field picnics would include a dish like goulash or sometimes it would be sandwiches and vegetables like carrots and celery sticks. “In the Farm Wife News magazine, a lot of the women will write letters saying they don't like lugging a meal out to the field. But to me it was fun,” said Leona. The couple's children are grown now and they have six grandctulcken. Their children are Dale of Hastings, Patti Baldry of Freeport, Dan of Middleville, and David of Coats Grove. Leona was selected as Barry County’s Homemaker of the Year in 1980 and she competed for the state title the following year. Bom at her grandparents' house in Battle Creek, Leona arrived early, weighing only three pounds. She was tiny enough to sleep in a slice box. She grew up in Dowling and notes that she was tiny as a youngster and didn’t start school until she was almost seven because of her small size. Leona attended the one-room Barney Mill School and recalls that "we had so much fun in country school." After the eighth grade, she went to Hastings High School and she can still remember the adjustment of going from a small school to such a large one. "It was really an experience for a little country girl," she laughs. Over the years, Leona has been involved in volunteer work at Pennock Hospital and in 4H. She was the general leader of the Baltimore Rams and also taught sewing and outdoor cooking. Several weeks ago she received a pin for contributing more than 1,000 hours of volunteer service to Pennock Hospital and a few weeks ago she was honored with a certificate for “long time" volunteer service there. She belongs to two hospital guilds, num­ bers 3 (a sewing guild) and 21 (escourt guild). The volunteer sewing for the hospital has included making binders, baby blankets and surgical sheets. She has served as president of the sewing guild and held other offices. Last fall she earned a nurse’s aide cer­ tificate through the Hastings Adult Education program and she says she is enjoying her work in home nursing care. For the last 34-years, Leona has been a faithful member of the Hendershot Birthday Club that meets once a month. It's a social group of neighbors who enjoy getting together. Eight original members are still active in the group. They’ve had as many as 25-members and there are about 15 now. A member of the Hope United Methodist Church, Leona belongs to the United Methodist Women and is helping co-chair the church's mother-daughter banquet this year. Leona Clark of Hastings makes a cheese sauce for escalloped onions, one of her favorite recipes. She is a past president of UMW and of a church circle. Sewing is one of her favorite hobbies. She was in the process of making herself a new suit for Easter last week. She loves to make quilts and plans to make a quilt for each of her children. She also enjoys making appliqued baby quilts. Leona likes to refinish furniture and collect things that are related to milk and dairy farming...“milk bottles, cream pitchers, and anything with a cow on it” She's had a lot of experience preparing large meals, but says cooking isn't one of her ’ favorite things to«do. "I've always cooked fora large family and hired men. For many years we always had a young man live with us to help on the farm." Leona's recipe for escalloped onions gets rave reviews whenever she takes it to a potluck. She found the recipe in a 1960 issue of Farm Journal Magazine. A must at every family gathering are homemade dinner rolls. Leona uses a recipe that had belonged to her mother-in-law, the late Florence Clark. "They’re delicious,” she says.

One day some wires became twisted, and as he picked them up. the thought occured to him that if two wires could be twisted together so they would hold the barbs in place, this would keep them from rotating. As he thought about this, he saw a grindstone and reasoned that the wires could be twisted by turning the grindstone. Thus, a commonplace device became the first machine to twist wires for a barbed wire fence. Today, there are more than 600 recognized verities of barbed wire that were used in the settling of the West. Actually, there is no way to determine how many more different kinds of barbed wire exist, as more varieties are found every year. Barbed wire falls almost naturally into categories reflecting the purposes for which the wire was designed. The "Early Varied" types (1868-77) were the first invented. The “Vicious" (187680) was designed to inflict injury to livestock in the hope that the animals would stay away from fences; “Obous" (1879-84) types of wire fencing were designed to add visibility to the fence, to warn livestock; and "Modified" (1884-92) types in­ corporated modified forms of some uf the helpful features of the other three types. Although there is an overlapping of dates, these categories will serve as a foundation for understanding what actually took place during 19th century fence-making across America. Most barbed wire collectors settle on an 18 inch length as the standard size piece to collect. Many acquire their specimens through an exchange with fellow collectors, sometimes called “Barb-bar tans". When one finds a roll of rare wire, he begins trading pieces with fellow collectors and may therefore acquire a variety of pieces himself without much money in­ vestment. These samples sell from $1 to as much as $100. However, the average price for rare types of o’d wire will range from $10 to 115. Another and perhaps easier way to collect wire is to drive through the country. From the surplus of old wire left dangling on deserted fence lines or discarded strands left in ditches, or from rolls hanging from fence posts where repairs have been made, many have acquired sizeable collections. Displaying barbed wire collections take many forms. Some are contained in wooden traveling display cases; others are fastened to heavy canvas, which can be rolled into convenient bundles for carrying. "Swap and Sell" sessions have been established to provide collectors an opportunity to add strands to their collections. These swap-meets nut only establish a market for the barbed wire, but also a uniform price, value and size for the trader and seller. — WOODLAND — HOURS. 7:00 o.m. to 3:30 p.m. Monday through Friday S/GN $ DISCOUNHD PRICfS S R.V. • Appliance Rapairs Replacement Parts • AM-on Accessories DAILY HOURS; CALL ON MONDAY.

The photo looks west on the northside of the 100 block of State Street. A November 1883 fire burned The Hastings Banner office and printing plant. M.L. (Marshall) Cook, then 26 years old, was the editor and he set forth to restore the paper to publicatioa The Banner had salvaged much of its heavy machinery, but the lead type which was set by hand had melted. It was the custom of newspapers to assist another when disaster struck one of them and to help to reestablish publication. The Banner received the help this time and two years later was in a position to return die favor. After an unharmed newspaper used its equipment, it loaned it to the un­ fortunate newspaper. In this case, The Banner had to publish on Friday rather than the customary Thursday. The first post-fire skeleton issue contained only four pages of material from local sources: county and local news, Probate orders, mortgages sales and advertisements. The second issue on Dec. 21 added "War Sketches”, third installment, part of a series about the Civil War by John Potter. By Dec. 28, the paper had restored its literary page, regional, national and foreign news sections, and the issue was back to its regular eight pages. Samples of the local news of The Banner in December 1883 and January 1884 were varied and contained a personal viewpoint on occasion. Dec. 14, 1883.

We'tad hoped to present a p?per this tech printed wholly from the new material we had purchased in. Chicago. But our type failed to reach us and wo-are compelled to place our paper beftire our readers in its present shape. We"expect to get down to business in our-next; In our late fire, the manuscript of Mr. (John) Potter’s third article of the series on—MiVat-Sketches” was destroyed. A letter from him announces that he will prepare to continue the series in our next Our readers will be pleased with the announcement, we are sure. For the benefit of those who want to know how the Michigan Centre] (Railroad) bleeds the people of this vicinity: two job presses were recently shipped to us from Hartford, Conn, weight 3,130 pounds. The freight from Hartford to Charlotte (Michigan), 900 miles $5.14; from Charlotte to Hastings 25 miles, $4.37. That’s the dish served up to Hastings shippers everyday. The people of Hastings and vicinity pay every year enough more than they should (be) required to, to raise ail the bonus for the new road. A rival road alone can relieve our city from this extortion. (Ed. note: there was activity afoot to raise private monies to establish a second railroad into Hastings.) Street lights and water works are much needed in our city for the con­ venience of the public and the safety of property. Nearly $25,000 has been expended in this city the past year for new buildings. Nearly as much more for repairs on other buildings. Dec. 21. 1883. Our type is exasperatingly slow in reaching us. The new dree we purchased has not yet arrived, hence The Banner appears in its present form. We shall set on day when The Banner will appear as quarto (quarto meant the size of the paper, cut usually four pages to a sheet of paper) but just as soon as our type reaches us the change will be made. Dec. 28.1883. Next week The Banner will resume its old size as a six column quarto. We still start again with the new year, and hope to make The Banner a welcome guest in every Barry County home. During the year to come we shall add some new. and we trust some valuable features, to our paper. Marshall L. Cook, Editor. Jan. 11.1884. D.R. Cook (the editor’s father) will erect a twostory brick 22x90 building, where Brook and Cook are now located. The second story will be used for The Banner news jobs and editorial rooms.

Our city has 11 groceries, 9 dry-good and clothings stores. The sales from these 20 houses were not far from $750,000. There are 12 manufacturing establishments in Hastings which when running at full capacity, give em­ ployment to 275 hands. The capital employed is over $250,000 and the yearly output nearly as much. Think what we would have with another railroad. Population of Hastings 1884 — 3000 people.

Owners Dorothy and Larry Conklin invite the public to attend the open house from 4-8 p.m. Friday (April 27) and from 2-8 p.m. Saturday (April28) at their business, located at 533 W. Stale St. Refreshments will be served and door prizes awarded. River Bend handles a variety of traveling accommodations that range f-om a single night hotel reservation to a tour to Australia or the Orient. Dorothy has become well-known for the trips she plans to Hawaii where she took a group of 53 last month. Arranging for domestic and international air travel, car rentals, Amtrak tickets and more are all part of the services River Bend offers. A new feature in conjunction with the Hastings office is convention services with Gerri Kuzava. The Conklins purchased the travel agency from its original owners Don and Joan Haywood in May of 1980. And one might say it’s an ’all in the family' situation. The Conklins' youngest daughter, Connie, is married to Marty Haywood, a son of the first owners. The idea for starting a travel agency in Hastings developed while the Haywoods were on a Norwegian Caribbean Cruise in the late 1960s. "We had made our arrangements for that cruise through an agency in Battle Creek," the Haywoods cecal'. While they were on the cruise, they met the young Norwegian president of the cruise lines and during conversations with him. he encouraged them to start a travel agency. “We had such a wonderful time, we wanted to make it easy for the people of Hastings and Barry County to enjoy traveling,” said Don. “After a lot of study, advice, and a few physical problems, we decided to try it. We opened the agency in April of 1974 in the club hoise of the River Bend Golf Course. We hired Kalhy Mosson Decker to be our office manager and we were on our way. "The business started slowly. In Sep­ tember of 1975, we sold the golf course and thought our work would slow down and kind of relire into the slower pace of the travel agency..... Wrong! This was going to become anything but a slower pace. After moving the agency to 533 W. State St., (its present location) the business began to grow by leaps and bounds," he said. "As the business grew, our son J.R. (Haywood) joined the staff. During the late 1970s, deregulation of the airlines began to add to Lie work load of the travel agency. That hectic work load and dwindling eye sight caused us to offer River Bend Travel for sale." Since Conklins purchased the business, Don notes that business has increased and the couple have added computers direct to the airlines so they could better serve the traveling public. "We are proud of River Bend Travel's reputation as a fine travel agency and the staff running it," he said. Besides the Conklins, the present staff includes Kathy Decker who started with the Haywoods in August of 1974; Connie Haywood who worked part-time with the original owners, and Diana Lydy. The three are travel consultants for the firm. Jeanne McFadden of the staff handles outside sales. The Haywoods work with the Conklins oc­ casionally. Dorothy, who handles all the group traveling, and her husband, Larry, sometimes helped the Haywoods with the business before the Conklins purchased it “We knew we would like it and I’ve always enjoyed working with the public," said In celebration of our Tenth Year in business, the pleasure of your company is requested at an Friday evening, April 27 4:00 p.m. to 8:00p.m. Saturday evening, April 28 2:00p.m. to 8:00p.m. REFRESHMENTS — DOOR PRIZES Prizes contributed to our office from the following-.

Amendment to report. It is not longer raining out - It's snowing. This river never forgets by Steve Horton We return again in the spring. Like sailors come back to a favorite port. To this worn path that trails through the stand of brush to the river. You walk along it, a pole in hand, some refreshments stuffed in vest pockets, feeling again that stir of anticipation. Others are already fishing. They sit on up­ turned buckets or rest on the grassy bank, their lines bowing slightly in the current despite weighed-down leaders. The sunlight here reflects dully off the clay-colored waters that move leisurely by. It simmers as well above the trees that line the opposite bank and over the farmland beyond. There is the familiar smell; a mingle of river mud, rotting logs and greenery. A familiar stillness also, broken only by an occasional voice or passing car. Downriver they have songs about this season; about tree-shaded banks, the smell of lilac, warm twilights, and the rememberance of some long ago love. But here, along this stretch above the bridge, and further on, along the creeks and streams that feed the main river, one has instead the last traces of still untamed country. There's the dark recesses of surrounding forest, the flooded marshlands, and the tangle of torn vines and swail. The years have brought changes to the river. There are of course the ones that accompany each season. The swift current of the spring thaw, the slow lingering of the summer months, the cold darkness that comes with the first snows. And there are the subtle ones of nature, the slow etchings of time witnessed in a fallen tree or the gradual undercutting of a bank. More importantly though are the changes within us that we bring along as we come back each year to fish. There is the distant memory of trailing behind him as he went down the lane In back of the farm to spear frogs. We would walk alongside the creek that forked into the river, he moving slowly through the marsh grass and cattails while I remained up on the bank. The river itself and the thick forest on its far side had an eerie, forbidding look and later, when I came down alone, I always stayed up on the sandy meadow where the fox dug their burrows or else in the nearby woods that the pasturing cattle kept cleared of underbrush. There was the winter many years later. I had little work and even less money, but walking through those same trees, hearing only the snow crunching underfoot, the wind rattling the few remaining leaves on the branches, you could easily forget that. Instead there was the snowy landscape to look at and the rabbit tracks to study for freshness. That one Christmas morning the wind blew sharply over the barren hayfield, numbing the fingertips. Once inside the covering of the forest though the sound became muffled. I walked for awhile, then stopped for a smoke. Beyond, through the lines of gnarled bark, were the fields and fence rows and further on were the outbuildings and house where so much of youth was spent In the spring there would be a chill in the air as I walked across the pasture to herd the cows for their morning milking. The grass would be wet from the heavy dew and, with the first light a thick fog would form over the drainage ditch to the south and over the bordering marshland. Later in the morning there was the sound of the nearby school bell and on Sunday mornings the ringing of the church bell. There were the stories of the wild dog packs that raided neighboring livestock, of the huckleberry swamp you heard about but could never find, and of the people who had first came hero to settle and who were now resting in small out-of-the-way graveyards. There were so many hopes and dreams that were born and nurtured here. Those imaginings of youth, full of glitter and sparkle, that were to be pursued with such passion and that you guarded inside you with such staunchness, only to have them in the end slip away. Was it youth itself or just ignorance or perhaps some hidden conceit that allowed one to believe be could walk across this land with measured steps and mold it to his personal vision? Time though alters all, leaves most visions tattered and torn, . keepsakes to be remembered fondly for what they once were but can never be again. If you retain to the river at night there is no fishing, only the dark outlines of the forest that borders the bank. The water's surface is an intermixture of reflected moonlight and shadows. A steady hum of crickets and insects permeates the stillness. A thousand stars flicker in the sky above. X In the cloak of darkness and the reverie of thought the pattern of those bygone years spread out. The memories return, echoing softly, filing by, a parade of ghosts. You reach back toward them, but even as you do they are gone, disap­ pearing like wisps of smoke in a spring wind. You ask for time to pause a moment and allow you to gaze again upon them.

A combination of warm temperatures and stfficient rainfall could propel this spring’s crop of Michigan morel mushrooms into one of the most plentiful in recent years, reports the Automobile Club of Michigan. A survey of areas around the state which traditionally produce the largest crop of morels — considered by many to be the most delectable of mushrooms-— shows con­ fidence that this will be rated a bumper year. "Best 'guestimates' are that at least a half million people head into Michigan woods and fields, mostly in May, to gather morels.” states James Drury, Aut« Club Travel Operations manager. "People come from miles around to enjoy the various mushroom festivals and to lock for prize morels themselves." While mushroom festivals are the order of the day at such celebrated locations as the National Mushroom Hunting Championship in Boyne City from May 12-13 and the Mesick Mushroom Festival from May 6-13, mushroom himters have found great success in many sections of the state. in Hasting* at the earner of Michigan and State Street OPEN Monday thru Saturday at9 a.m.; Monday and Wednesday evening ‘til 8 p.m. Tuesday, Thursday, Friday 'til 6 p.m.; Saturday 'til 3 p.m. vtS*5, “The northern Lower Peninsula and the Upper Peninsula are favorite hunting spots for morels," Drury said. "But just as many morels can be fooid in southern Michigan if conditions are right, including soil, tem­ perature and moisture." Veteran mushroom himters say the best places to search include gently rolling land covered by hardwood trees, including dead elm, with a lake or river nearby. The south slopes of hills, down in valleys and around old elm stumps also are good spots. In general, morels appear from late April to mid-June, spreading northward across the state. Black morels usually appear first and are followed by white. For safest picking, first-timers should go hunting with an ex­ perienced hunter, or visit one of five state mushroom festivals for a guide or assistance. In addition to the Boyne City and Mesick festivals, there are the Sixth Annual Mushroom Festival in Harrison May 5, the Morel Mushroom Festival in Lewiston May 12 and the Mushroom Mania in Grayling May 5-6 and May 12-13. “Most of the festivals provide guides to help people find morel areas and many of the local chambers of commerce are happy to provide up-to-date information,** Drury added. When searching for morels, hunters should wear sturdy, comfortable hiking shoes and carry a basket or paper bag to hold the morels. Scissors or a sharp knife can be used to cut the morels just above the ground.

The Panthers lost to Wayland 7-5 on Monday while splitting a doubleheader with Ostego on Tuesday. Delton won the first game 6-5 but lost the nightcap 4-3. In the Wayland ballgame, Cora Neyerink survived 13 Delton hits to pick up the win. Sue Bromley, Sue Leto, Jeanne Ryan and Sonja Hull all picked up two hits for Delton in a losing cause. Wayland led 4-1 after four innings and slowly increased that margin to 7-2 at the end of sue and a half. Delton scored three runs in Hostings' Nick Postulo storH o key fourth inning rally against Marshall on Tuesday by banging out a single. Chilly temperature* greeted Hastings during Tuesday's Twin Valley opener against Marshall. The cool weather, however didn't cool off Saxon righthander Jack Moore, who fired a three-hitter against the Redskins. Moore fires three-hitter the bottom of the seventh to make it close. Hull pitched six innings and took the loss for Delton. In the opener against Ostego, the Panthers turned three doubleplays on defense and banged out 14 hits on offense. Tammy Ket­ chum doubled and tripled to lead Delton while Sheri Taylor and Ryan each had two hits. Hull was the winner allowing eight hits and five walks while striking out three. Delton was down 5-2 at the end of the third inning, but rallied for one in the fourth and three in the fifth. Delton is now 1-3 on the year. [SPORTS v -I Saxons washout Marshall, 7-0 Jack Moore fired a three-hitter Tuesday night as Hastings shutout Marshall 7-0 in the Twin Valley opener for both teams. Moore raised ha personal record to 3-2 and Hastings upped its record to 5-2 overall with the win. Moore ran his string of unearned runs to 25 while walking three and fanning 10. In Moore’s five appearances he has pit­ ched 25.1 innings without surrendering an earned run. He has given up six runs. DNR to host Arbor Day event Barry Game Area will be hosting an open house and offering trees for planting this Saturday as part of the local DNR’s Arbor Day activities. A lour of the facilities, located at 1805 S. Yankee Springs Rd., will be conducted by John Lerg, the local DNR wildlife biologist, and Mark Bishop, tie game area manager, from 9 a.m. to 12 noon. In addition, people can come and plant a Arbor Day is officially on Thursday, a day set aside each year as a time for reflection about trees and their contribution to health and happiness. The idea for a special day was poposed by J. Sterling Morton in 1872 when he was a member of the Nebraska State Board of Agriculture. ■ Born in New York, be received his early training in Michigan at the public schools of Monroe and as a newspaper reporter. He graduated from Albion CoDege in 1850, then went to the University of Michigan, graduating in 1854. While most of these men sought to prevent the plundering of forests through legal and legislative action, Morton took a different approach. Because he was a journalist and editor of Nebraska's first newspaper, he spread agricultural information and his tree planting enthusiasm to his fellow pioneers. They all missed their trees and trees were needed for windbreaks, to hold the soil, for fuel and building materials, and for shade. In 1672 Morton proposed an annual tree planting day to be called “Arbor Day”. The first one was observed on April Id in his adopted state and since then over a million trees have been planted in Nebraska. In 1881 the day was declared a legal holiday in Nebraska with Morton’s birthday on April 22 being selected as the permanent By 1894, Arbor Day was being celebrated in' every state. Today, this holiday is celebrated in many other countries as well. Si»ORTS ...ata glance They’ll bury him st shortstop A tiny smile split the man's face and his eyes widened noticeably. The man couldn't decide whether he was being insulted or kidded. “A dinosaur?” laughed Bernie Oom, one of the last of his kind. “I don't know. I guess there aren’t that many that have gone this long. It’s crazy." Oom had been asked—bluntly — why he still remained a member of the coaching ranks when the current trend in the profession is to put in a few seasons and then bail out. It must be so, reasoned the in­ terviewer, that after 19 years of coaching, Oom must a genuine dinosaur — the last of his kind. Why does the man continue to teach yowgsters the best way to throw curve balls or to show a second baseman the quickest doubleplay after 19 years? “I enjoy the organization of a baseball program and 1 like being with new kids and seeing them develop into not only good ballplayers, but law abiding citizens," said Oom, as he leaned back in his office chair on the eve of the 1984 Twin Valley baseball opener Oom took over the Saxon varsity baseball reigns from one Jock Clarey in 1966. Since that time Oom’s teams have won over 200 ballgames, five West Central titles between 1969 and 1976, and one Twin Valley championship in 1979. Competitive? Sure, said Oom. “We've been competitive over the years." he said. “We've always done well in the league considering we don’t have what you’d call a stepped-up Little League.” Oom admitted the thought of hanging up the old clipboard has crossed his mind. The constant hrssels with atrocious Michigan spring weather, the rescheduling of games, and the yo-yolike feeling of playing indoors one day and outside the next. Those things, combined with only having seen his daughter play three softball games in five years while missing his son's varsity track debut, have left Oom considering leaving the sport. His season actually starts in late February when his players begin limbering up throwing arms in the gym. It lasts until the close of the summer baseball program, which Oom uses to evaluate the following year’s team, in late July. Despite the long season Oom isn't exactly ready to be buried at shortstop yet. “Every year I say maybe next year will be it,” admitted Oom, a pleasant, easy-going man. “But something always comes up. They'll be good kids coming back or maybe I'll just want to stay with it. "There are some days, though..." Oom believes it’s the players themselves that have had much to do with keeping him in the sport all these years. “I think so,” he said. “I have an alumni game every year on Memorial Day. To me. that's exciting to have the players come back. They'll remember things that happened on the field — things I don’t.” The 1984 version of Hastings baseball is Oom's type of team. One reason is the boys aren't afraid of putting in the extra work needed to win ballgames — perhaps Oom's favorite trait in a player. "I'm excited about a team that works its tail off. It's kind of a close fraternity, so to speak. They're fun to be with,” admitted Oom. "This year's team could be put in that classification.” And what about this team s chances of winning the second ever Twin Valley baseball title for Hastings? "First. I'd have to say the league is exceptionally tough this year,” said Oom. “Any other year with this team I'd say we'd be right there. This year we'll nave to struggle to be on top. "We'll be battling, though. We have a chance." Even dinosaurs can hope. allowed only 10 hits and 13 walks, and has fanned 43. The Saxons were off and running in the first inning when Joel Christensen, batting at a .313 clip entering the game, doubled and scored on Moore's single. Hastings erupted for five more runs in the fourth inning to all but salt the game away. With one out, Nick Postula singled and eventually scored after three straight walks to Rich French, Todd Slater and Gregg Shaeffer. Christensen then hit a grounder to short which was promptly booted. French and Shaeffer scored on the play to up the lead to 4-0. Brad Tolles then singled scoring Christensen for a 5-0 lead. The final Saxon run was accounted for in the sixth when Christensen singled, stole second, and scored on two wild pitches. The senior catcher reached bases four times on two hits, a walk and an error. He scored three of the seven Hastings runs. The Saxons play Jackson Northwest in a doublebeader on Thursday and then Harper Creek next Tuesday. All the games all away.

The win, which doesn't count as a Twin Valley victory because this is Marshall's first year of offering softball, was the fifth for Hastings in as many games this season. The 12-nn explosion, the biggest in recent memory for Saxon coach Judy Anderson, featured seven hits, for errors, four -valks and two passed balls. Hastings later added single runs in the third and fourth innings. “We played ail right,” said Anderson of the game. “We shouldn't have given up a couple of ’heir runs. We made back -toback errors. ” Tammy Connor notched her second win of the year on a. three-hitter. The senior short­ stop-pitcher struck out six and walked four. “She had one inning, the fourth, where she walked two and hit two," said Anderson. "1 think she was trying to go for the strikeout on every batter. She was oui of motion.” Offensively, Connor also was a main contributor with a single, double, and four runs scored. Other offensive stars included hot-hitting Laura Hawse, who singled and doubled, and Stacy Owens, who singled twice and scored three runs. Laura Oom and Paula Atkinson each drove in two runs for Hastings. Anderson said her team's defense has been solid through the first five games while the offense is starting to come on. "I just hope the pitching keepe going as well as it has been," says Anderson. The Saxons play in the eight-team Mid­ dleville Invitational this Saturday. Hasting takes on Allendale at 8 a.m. in Middleville in the opener. If Hastings wine, it plays the winner of the Climax-Middleville at 9:30.

Presbyterian Women hear book review The Presbyterian Women's Association met on Wednesday, April 18, in the church dining room for a luncheon served by memrs of Cirde 5, Wilma Story and Helen Keeler, were cochairmen. After devotions entitled "You’re Very Special", given by Nancy Bradley of Circle 7, Phyllis Haines presided at the business meeting. She announced the meeting of the Lake Michigan Presbyterial at First Presbyterian Church in Kalamazoo on April 27, and the June 13-15 meeting of the Synodical of the Covenant at Alma College when Presbyterians from Michigan, Ohio, and Ken­ tucky will gather. Presbyterian women are also planning a rummage sale on April 26-27 and their Mother-Daughter banquet on May 7. Bette Fockler from Wayland presented a dramatized book review, "Sisters in our Destiny," She, dressed in royal regalia, told the story of Queen Esther in the Bible in first person, from the point of view of an older woman who had survived years of in­ trigue in the Persian palace. As she locked back, she remembered the plight of the Jews who had been taken captive to Persia. Her cousin Mordecai had become palace gatekeeper, and suggested that she become a candidate for the new Queen, successor to Queen Vashti, who had come into royal disfavor. Esther was chosen by the King over all the other beautiful young women in the kindgom and became the new Queen. He was unaware that she was a Jewess. The word "God” is not inchided in the book of Esther, but the story soon makes His work behind the scenes very apparent. Esther herself rapidly got the message that she was called to be queen for the Accounting and Bookkeeping Service Accounting for small businesses.

The treacherous Haman had planned for the execution of Jews all over the country on a particular day. Mordecai learned of the plot and brought word to Esther. At a banquet she received the King's promise to give ner anything she requested, "even to half of the kingdom." She revealed the plot against the Jews and asked that her people be spared. The King issued orders that the Jews be allowed to gather and d.fend their lives. They had a great victory. Haman was executed on the very gallows he had prepared for Mor­ decai. There was “light and gladness and joy and honor" among the Jews of Persia. They were safe; Queen Esther commanded them to remember it always in the Feast of Purim. Esther lived out her life in the royal palace. She had fulfilled her destiny. Is not the wish of each of us? Memorial books arrive at library On the new-buok truck this week are six books given as memorials. The Hastings Women’s Club each year memorializes its deceased members and has chosen four books in memory of Angeiine Barden, Sadie Mae Brower, Julie Birke, Rebecca Hodges, and Mary Jane Johnston. The books are: “Let's Make a Patchwork Quilt", by Jessie MacDonald and Marian H. Shafer; "The Victor Handbook of Bible Knowledge", by V. Gilbert Beers; "Norman Vincent Peale's Treasury of Joy and Enthusiasm", and “Seeds of Greatness: the Ten BestKept Secrets of Total Suc­ cess”, by Denis Waitley. The Thornapple Garden Club members also gave books to the library in memory of deceased members. They have recently presented "American Medicinal Plants", by Charles F. Millspaugh, in memory of Emma Payne Another memorial book was given by two individuals in memory of Angeiine B. Barden: "The Mousetrap and Other Plays", by Agatha Christie. The original Cabbage Patch Kid??? Cabbage Patch-mania had Moms and Dads, Grandmas and Grandpas, Aunts and Uncles, and friends scrambling to find baby dolls of that brand name before Christmas. Most thought it was a new craze but evidently Cabbage Patch kids have roots that go bock close to the turn of the century. A local resident, Virginia Alles, found this gem of an antique postcard in a collection she bought from a Battle Creek woman. The picture of the baby boy protruding from a head of cabbage was printed in Germany as a birth announcement prior to 1916. Get the News!

The special observance will take place in Barry County Circuit Court Friday, at 11 a.m. The theme of this year’s event is "Law Makes Freedom Work.” The address will be given by Richard Robinson, retired Barry-Eaton Circuit , Court judge. The Barry County Bar Association will also present its annual Liberty Bell Award at that time. James Fisher, president of the Barry County Bar Association, said Law Day was set aside in 19^1 by joint resolution of Congress "as I a special day of celebration by the American people in appreciation of their liberties and as a reaffirmation of their loyalty to the United States of Aimerica.” \ Volume 129, No. 18, Hostings, Michigan by FAA, state review airport expansion City won’t accept Jacobs Circle The City of Hastings has denied a request by homeowners on Jacobs Circle for year-round maintenance, because their 1,056-foot long drive is without curb and gutter, and is not wide enough to mieet subdivision specifications. . "We won’t take ibas is,” said Gordan Fuhr, char-man of the Hastings City Council’s Streets and Lighting Com­ mittee. "We decided it would set a precedent if we took an unimproved street.” Fuhr said the matter has been sent to the city attorney to be followed up with a letter. Residents of Jacobs Circle petitioned the city to accept the deed to the street; a private drive located off Indian Hills Dr. The petition, read at the April 23 council meetings, is signed by Mr. and Mrs. Jerald Jacobs, 1752 Jacobs Circle, Mr. and Mrs. Paul Stahlman, 1748 Jacobs Circle, Mr. and Mrs. Dale Hoekstra, 1740 Jacobs Circle, and Mr. and Mrs. Richard Jacobs, 1730 N. Broadway. Fuhr said the next step is for the city engineer to estimate the cost of road widening, additional blacktop, curb and gutter, and to review the drive’s storm sewer. Fuhr said the cost of such im­ provements would fall on the homeowners. aland.T VOIUETEEB!

Murphy said Officials from the Federal Aviation Administration and the Michigan I Department of Aeronautics visited the Hastings air­ port Thursday, and discussed matters of approach clearances and con­ struction scheduling. Murphy said the meeting was significant in that jit brought together representatives of both the federal and state governments, the two prime funding sources for the $450,000 ex­ pansion "The meeting was mostly oetween them, when they could get the next step done, and; the next, in order to try to get it done before frost this fall." said Murphy. Plans call for a BOO-foot runway ex tension, partial parallel taxiways, a hard surface access to a new private hangar on the east side of the airport, and an access routi from W. State Rd. to the new hangar hrea and a parking lot. Murphy said he is now waiting for the state to complete an archeological study of the north bank of the Thornappie River. “The state has to contract with a private archeologist, who will determine there are no artifacts that will be disturbed by this project” “The guy from Iht FAA said we can’t have the money unfit that’s done.” said Murphy.

I I I I I || I I I I I I I I I | by Ken Relbel The Barry County Fair Board is seeking $46,800 in donations to pay for a new 1,376seat, aluminum bleachers, just ordered to replace the 100-year-oki, 900-seat, wood grandstands recently razed for safety reawns,___________ The structure is expected to be in place by July 1, pending approval of the building permit by the Hastings Planning Com­ mission Monday. The new bleachers, built by Medalist Standard Steel, Inc., of Three Rivers, Michigan's only outdoor bleacher manufacturer, will measure 15 rows deep, and 150-feet in length. It is estimated it will take 45 days to erect. Medalist Standard Steel, Inc. has sold hundreds of the bleachers across the country, said Hugh Dougherty, company representative. He said that the new bleachers are similar to the ones at Johnson Field at Hastings High School. The new structiTe will seat over 400 more persons than the old grandstands, and take up one-third less space, said Dougherty. In addition, it is designed to accomodate a roof later, at a cost of $48,000. Dick Welton, Barry County Fair Board president, said due to cost considerations, it was necessary to go to a manufactured grandstands. "There’s no way to custom build a stand, and beat the price we’re getting here," he said. "Besides, you have a lot of liability in trying to build your own...The fair board went this route to insure the safety of the public." The stands are designed and registered under an engineer in the State of Michigan and features “weathering steel", which gets stronger as it rusts, said Dougherty. Welton said that when crews were tearing down the old grandstands, it became ap­ parent “that they were in worse shape than we had realized. “We need a lot of public support to fix up the fair buildings, not just to replace the old grandstands, but the rest of the buildings as well. Our goal on the fairboard is to improve the view, since Hastings is the county seat ” said Welton. Welton said many people "get a poor impression of Barry County because of the dilapidated buildings." He said an overall program to spruce up the fairgrounds will COri $300,000. For the time being, though, the fair board has no plans for adding concessions or other facilties under the bleachers. And he said the need for a roof is not great, "since the only real reason for a roof is to protect the public from the sun, and most of the grandstand shows occur at night.” Eventually, the fair board would like to see the stands used 12 months of the year, said Welton. "Instead of just one week out of the year." Welton said he has neard few complaints from people over replacing a century-old Barry County landmark with modem, pre­ cast bleachers. "So far, everyone has said it’s about time something was done," be said. "I've even heard from some people who said they wouldn't attend grandstand shows because they were afraid to let their famililes sit there." Welton said, though, that the new stands h*v' ’‘““““J, - "As m°™-> becomes available, it will be given more personality." Two more men are bound over in burglary probe Two more men have been bound over to Barry County Circuit Court for their alleged involvement in a burglary ring responsible for over 80 break-ins in an eight-county area. The two are Donald F. Murphy, 23, 205 Pitman. Battle Creek, and Tyrone Theodore Trout, 19, Richland. Murphy is charged with two counts of breaking and entering of a Lacey Rd. residence, while Trout is charged with the Jan. 7 burglary of a Wabascon Rd. home in Johnstown Township. No date has been set for their circuit court arraignment. According to Det. Burt Lardie of the Battle Creek State Police Post, Murphy and Trout arc two of eight persons arrested thus far in connection with over 80 burglaries in Eaton, Washtenaw. Jackson, Calhoun. Branch, Kent, Kalamazoo and Barry Counties. Three other suspects appeared in Barry County Circuit Court Friday to answer charges stemming from the March 18 burglary a Charlton Park Rd. home. Lardie said two of those suspects, Joseph Donald Joiner. 19, and Steven Scott Cody, 21, both of Battle Creek, helped police identify Murphy and Trout as part of the burglary ring. Lardie said the ring had been hitting two to three places a week since 1982. and selling the stolen goods to a Battle Creek “fence". Lardie said the total number of burglaries could go higher as Cody and Joiner talk more with police. "Each time we talk to them, we learn about more burglaries,” he said. He called the ring "the largest widespread ring" he has seen in his 1'4 years with the state police. Det. Ken DeMott of the Barry County Sheriff Dept., said he has tied two are burglaries to the ring. One of those break-ins was reported Jan. 6 at a W. State Rd. home where nine rifles, including eight which belonged to the Hastings V.F.W., were reported stolen. DeMott said that none of the weapons have been recovered. The second break-in, which occurred on M79 near Nashville, was reported Jan. 16. DeMott said thieves stole guns, silverware, watches and a stamp collection. Only the stamp collection was recovered. DeMott said it is possible the suspects will help clear up still more area break-ins. "We will be looking at any and all unsolved burglaries in this part of the county," he said, adding that he expects some of those arrested so far to be "rearrested" on ad­ ditional burglary charges.

Johnston A recent conflict between residents on the south end of Clear Lake and a developer over a proposed camp site in that area has sparked a confrontation between a township supervisor and the county planning and zoning office. A rezoning request put forth by the Johnstown Township board that could have opened the door for a campground and convenience store development on Clear Lake was turned down by the Barry County Board of Commissioners upon recom­ mendation of the county Planning and Zoning Commission. That decision by the planning commission and the board of commission has angered Johnstown Township Supervisor Verlyn stevens whose board made the rezoning request. Stevens said that the rezoning request for he south Clear Lake area came about aecause of an inquiry by a potential ieveloper which coincided with a letter sent ay the planning commission in January to he county’s 16 supervisors asking them to dentify areas in their townships that should »c rezoned. Updating the county land use map has been identified by the planning commission as one of its 1984 priorities. Planning officials said that because township officials are more familiar with changes in land use, they asked for township assistance in identifying areas where the land use has changed since the county land use map was drawn up ten years ago. "The whole area (south Clear Lake* is zoned agricultural and RL1 (single lake residence)," Stevens said. “It should be zoned RL2." Under the county's zoning ordinances. RL1 is a restricted use of the land, primarily covering single familj dwellings. RL2. on the other hand, allows various uses, such as campgrounds, convenience stores, mobile homes, and two-family dwellings. The area in the rezoning request includes the Wesley Woods Church Camp and the Battle Creek Outdoor Center, both of which do not conform to the RL1 zoning, but would conform to RL2 zoning. Under the present zoning, any changes at the two camps must be approved through special zoning variances. Variances would not be required under RL2 zoning Because of the inquiry and the existence of those two camps on Clear Lake, the John­ stown Township board made a rezoning request to the Planning and Zoning Com­ mission. At a Feb. 27 hearing, residents from the area turned in a petition with over 40 signatures of people who were opposed to a plan by Charles Tungate of 15101 Wabascon Rd.. Bellevue, to purchase land and develop a campground and convenience store on the south side of Clear Lake. The opponents had hired Battle Creek attorney Robert McPhee. “The planning commission got off the track about what we wanted there." Stevens said. "People there were arguing the camp site." “It should be zoned RL2," he continued. “That would allow the (Wesley Woods i camp to be there in a properly zoned area." Stevens said that many years ago the area which Tungate hoped to purchase from Woodrow Hinken of 1244 Cottage Rd.. Dowling, contained a ball diamond and a little store. Tungate. Stevens said, wanted to buy the land that is now undeveloped and put in a park. "The residents didn't want the park in there at all," Stevens continued. "They thought it would be crowded and too conjested. Because he was planning to put a park in there, the planning commission denied the rezoning request, which had nothing to do with the park." He contended that the rezoning request conformed more to the current use of the land than the present zoning of the area. Based on the planning commission's recommendation, and after hearing remarks by Tungate and Hinken and opposing residents and their attorney, the board of commissioners upheld the denial of the rezoning. Steven's anger over the rezoning denial spilled over to a township officials meeting, April 17. when Michael Winkler, county building officer and assistant zoning ad­ ministrator. showed up to seek township cooperation in the planning commission's effort to update the land use map. “(Stevens) said that he had already made a recommendation recently for just that purpose and the planning commission failed to act upon it anyway, so why bother turning in any more." Winkler recalled. "The other supervisors didn't say anything else, so I assumed that they were in agreement that their input was not going to be listened to." Winkler said that of the township officials attending the meeting, he recognized only five or six as supervisors. Winifred Keller, director of the planning and zoning office, said that the planning commission was not necessarily looking for non-conforming uses, as Johnstown Town­ ship had requested, but was looking for changes ,hat are taking place in land use that might change the growth pattern in the county. The example used by the planning commission in the letter to the townships was agricultural land that has been platted off and sold for single family residences. James Gordon, who represents the county commissioners on the planning commission, said that the initial presentation of the rezoning request, to change it to a more permissive use of that land which would allow a variety of other uses, seemed logical. "By the time the planning commission first met...one concern that came out was that we found ourselves not talking about a basic change as the best use of the land, from RL1 to RL2," Gordon said.

Page 2 VIEWPOINT Commentaries from our editorial staff and the community - Editorial Pennock Hospital: Contributing to the community Sunday. Pennock Hospital opens the doors to its new laboratory, recently ex­ panded through a $500,000 construction project. The improved facility is another mark of the improvement and growth at the hospital in the past 20 years as part of a continuing e'fort to offer full medical services to our community. The hospital board of trustees. Executive Director Richard Fluke and members of the medical staff have made a concerted e'fort to recruit new physicians and to provide them with modern facilities in which to work. The result has been better local medical care. Fifteen years ago the hospital had a medical staff of 14 doctors, who not only covered their own practices, but traded off to cover the hospital emergency room. General p.actice was the name of the game and if you needed a specialist of any kind, you were most likely referred to Grand Rapids or Kalamazoo. Today, many of our local physicians still have family practices, but an in­ creasing number of specialists have been recruited to the community. The hospital medical staff has grown to 31 doctors, including four full-time emergency room physicians and specialists in internal medicine, urology, pathology, radiology, anesthesiology, orthopedics, obstetrics and gynecology, and surgery. In June and July, five more doctors will be joining the staff. These include another family practice for Hastings, one in Lake Odessa. Hastings' first ophthalmologist, another orthopedic surgeon and a part-time anesthesiologist. In addition to providing improved medical care closer to home, the added physicians bring more patients to the hospital, increasing the number of staff jobs created at the institution. Many of the 18 doctors who have private offices rent space in the Physicians Center and each one employs an average of two people, creating another 36 jobs. Beyond that, the physicians, their employees and hospital employees purchase homes and products in the community and support our community churches, schools and civic organizations. The hospital has an annual payroll of $5.9 million for its 450 employees. Though the hospital itself does not pay property taxes, it does pay $47,700 in prope: ty taxes on the Physicians Center. The hospital brings in $5 million a year in money from the federal government, much of which might have gone to other hospitals and other communities if we had not been providing more services here. Pennock Hospital also generates another $2.4 million for this area from the 20 percent of its patients who come from outside the county, primarily from Allegan, Ionia and Eaton counties and from tourists. The hospital paid $350,000 in electric, gas and water utility bills last year, and another $70,000 on telephone services. Much of this gets re-spent in the community to employ utility workers. Richard Fluke says that whenever possible, the hospital purchases products and services from local suppliers, rather than outside the community. Primarily this includes maintenance and repair services, printing, decorating and remodelling supplies. The growth of Pennock Hospital has been good for Hastings and Barry County. The hospital is not too large for the community to support, nor is it too small to provide quality service. And. important to those of us who enjoy the assets of a small town, the hospital has not grown loo large to provide the personal attention that can make a patient feel welcome. A final note about the director. Richard Fluke has not only provided leadership at Pennock Hospital and in the community, he has involved himself in the com­ plicated issues of the medical and hospital industry and become a respected spokesman for tnat industry. He has served on various boards and regional committees for the hospital industry, became known throughout the state and nation, and now is serving as president of the Michigan Hospital Association. He has served as a director of Blue Cross-Blue Shield, testified before Congress and the legislature and is frequently called upon for his expertise in medical costs, hospital costs and insurance. Virtually all of the people that we know complain about their medical bills. Good medical care is expensive and an issue that must continually be addressed. But, we can't deny that good medical service is an important asset to the community and Pennock Hospital and its staff provide that service for us on a local, personal basis. Burglary suspect to conduct own trial A 48-year-old Detroit man will be allowed to act as his own attorney in his trial on a charge of breaking and entering of an oc­ cupied dwelling with the intent to commit larceny William Boyd. 3046 Annabelle, will be allowed to defend himself, with Hastings Attorney James Fisher as an assistant, according to the ruling by Barry-Eaton Circuit Court Judge Richard Shuster, at Boyd's pre-trial hearing Friday. “The court is satisfied that you can un­ derstand your request to conduct your own trial," Shuster told Boyd. An argument broke out between Boyd and Shuster during an April 13 circuit court hearing, when Boyd insisted that he would not let an attorney represent him. Boyd is charged with the Nov. 11 break-in of a Thomapple Lake Rd. home. 30 days in jail for the Feb. 16 break-in of a garage at the Wren Funeral Home on W Walnut St. Carns was also ordered to perform 100 hours of community service, and to pay an undetermined amount in restitution to the owner of the funeral home. The judge also ordered Carns to reside in an approved residence, obey a midnight to 6 a.m. curfew, to abstain from alcohol, to attend substance abuse counseling, and to seek ana maintain employment. A June 18 trial date is set for Chester Robert Jones. 20. 206 Washington St.. Holly, for the Feb. 13 break-in of a garage on Peets Jones is one of three men arrested by state police for the theft of items, including a car jack, portable television and a refrigerator, from the garage. Last week, Boyd apologized to Shuster for the April 13 disruption, and said "I need your help to return to society as a productive citizen.” Shuster told Boyd he would be allowed to conduct his own trial, with the proviso “You will conduct yourself as an attorney would. You will not be allowed to pop up and make a speech anytime the mood strikes you." A May 7 motion to dismiss was se.t by Shuster at Boyd's request. A jury trial is set for May 21. Darwin J. Hill, 21, Bird Rd., Dowling, was sentenced to two years probation for malicious destruction of property under $100. Hill is charged with the Sept. 2, 1983 vandalism of a car on Delton Rd in Prairieville Township. Hill was also ordered to pay a $200 fine $200 costs, and $200 restitution. He was also sentenced to 90 days in jail. to be delayed on the judge's order until Jan.. 1986. The judge also ordered Hili to complete an education program, and to maintain gainful em­ ployment. In other court proceedings: Two Battle Creek men pleaded guilty to lesser charges in connection with the March 18 burglary of a Charlton Park Rd. home. Steven Scott Cody. 21. 79 Saratoga, and Joseph Donald Joiner. 18, 120 Walkers, pleaded guilty to attempted tweaking and entering of a building with the intent »o commit a felony. In exchange for the lesser plea, the defendants agreed to testify against all other defendants in what police believe to be a major burglary ring operating in several counties. Both men also agreed to aid police in the recovery of any stolen property. Sentencing for both men is set for May 25 at 8:30 a.m. 30 persons win Banner door prizes Under questioning from the judge, Cody and Joiner stated that they and another Battle Creek man, William Elbert Miller, 33, 1132 Raymond Rd., observed the occupants of a Charlton Park Rd. home polishing silver .are in their home one night in March. The defendants then described for the court how they went back to the home with the intent to burglarize iL "Me and Miller went up to the house and knocked on the door and no one was there. So Miller broke down the door and we went in"’ and stole some clocks and jewelry and some brassware." said Joiner. Cody told the court he stayed in the getaway vehicle and waited for the other two.

County decision angers official,continued formation which I felt should have been presented." Gordon said that, instead, the planning commission and the board of commissioners found themsleves talking about a proposed special use that was not really the issue before them. “I made the analogy, and still do, of when we had a request from Charlton Park (for a rezoning)," he continued. “Rather than focusing on the best use, we jumped into the controversy of camp sites." He said that they did not really step back' and look to see if RL2 was the best use for the south end of Clear Lake. "I felt that we were never really talking about a zoning change, we were talking about camping," Gordon said. He added, however, that he based his vote to deny the request on the fact that the real issue had not been discussed Gordon said that a substantial number of residents from around the south end of Clear Lake did not want to see a zoning change that could eventually lead to camping and a convenience store. He said that Com­ missioner Ted McKelvey pointed out that no one from the township board was in at­ tendance at the meetings, held by the planning commission and the board of commissioners, to argue in favor of the rezoning. Hastings He said that Stevens' comments to Winkier at the township officials meeting are really out of the context of what the planning commission is trying to do with the land use map. “What we're trying to say is that we saw that matter at Clear Lake to be one single zoning request for one particular area," Gordon continued. “....We do not feel that the planning commission was rejecting the local township input into a land use plan. We felt that it was unfortunate that apparently supervisors were seeing that we were not interested in their input for land use." He said that if the rezoning request had been included in an overall update of the land use for Johnstown Township, the planning commission might have taken a different view of the request. Gordon said that the conflict between the developer and the residents is the type of conflict the county is going Io run into in overall county development dealing with land use. tourism and environmental con­ cerns. "We're going to run across many areas where one of these developmental activities can conflict with others." he said.

Gordon and others, including Joan Foster, director of the Joint Economic Development Commission, were on hand to lobby in favor of the change, which has a potential of creating 15 jobs. At the same time, he said, he and other members of the planning commission were concerned about the proposed industrial facility being located on some ecologically sensitive ground, next to some wetland that even the DNR was been concerned about. “So, a classical confrontation existed in that case and 1 think those confrontations will likely arise many times in Barry County because the character of our land being agricultural, forest, lakes and that quality that we like in Barry County versus a realization that we have a lot of people here and we have a need for jobs for those who desire to work in the county." he said. He said that a similar conflict existed between the residents of Clear Lake and someone who was involved in promoting a tourist business, especially when county officials are involved in promoting tourism. "We want to encourage economic development and tourism is a part of that, but I think we want to do it in such a way that the people who are going to be coming in to the county to enjoy its resources and to have Write us a letter!

Helen Leszczynski The Vietnamese government recently started a series of Informal talks with Vietnam veterans, over matters of American ■MIAs. Agent Orange, Amerasian children and other topics. No formal recognition has been granted Hanoi by the U.S., yet Hanoi is apparently eager to talk to Americans. Do you think it is good for private American citizens to communicate with a foriegn government such as Hanoi? Do you think it is too early to forget the American defeat in Vietnam? Dale Cappon, Hastings: "Any time people talk it's good for relationships. It's always better to talk than to fight." Lyman Bristol, Hastings: "It's like anything, if you want to get something ac­ complished. go ahead and do it Forget government. If the vets want action, they'll have to do it on their own." Bristol adds that "politics and humanism have little to do with each other." Bruce Hammond. Hastings: "I guess it doesn't make a lot of difference. 1 don't see what it will hurl. I think it would be good for the Vietnamese government Io talk to the common person, rather than toe govern­ ment." Mike Lydy.

Hastings: "I think it’s good anytime we can try to establish good relationships with other countries. I have a son-in-law who served in Vietnam and I know that maybe some of the veterans might not want to talk about it because it brings back bad memories. Elden Vanderhrook.

Page 3 Lottery sales low in Barry County bv Krn Rcital Barry County residents have better ways to spend their dollars than betting in the Michigan Slate Lottery. That’s one con­ clusion to be drawn from statistics of lottery sales in Barry last year. Statewide during the I9H2-S3 fiscal year. Michigan residents Ixiught $548 million worth oi lottery tickets - approximately $58.90 lor each of the states estimated 9.3 million persons. In that same period. Barn County s 23 lottery- agents grossed $381,094 in sales, for a per capita rate of $8.10. By comparison. Calhoun County residents purchased $6,341,665. or $44 40 per person. In Kalamazoo County, the per capita purchase rate is $39.03. lor Kent County $35.69. and for rural Ionia County $18.16. Dale Boersma. owner of the Superette Party Store in Hastings, and the only daily lottery agent in Barry County, said most of his players are 30 years old and over. "Younger people aren’t into it,” he said. He characterizes most lottery customers as "working class.” Boersma said he sells more instant games and dailies, but only by a little. The daily card game, instituted by the slate in June. Five lottery games netted *221 million for schools During the 1982-83 fiscal year, sales of Michigan Lottery games netted $548 million, of which $221 million was turned back to the State School Aid Fund, for which it is earmarked. While these revenues are not assigned to specific programs, appreciation for the Lottery player contributions to education can be gained by equating them with selected programs. For example, the $221 million would cover state costs of special, vocational and com­ pensatory educational programs and still cover most of the funding for school transpurtation. Th • total is estimated to represent nearly 18 percent of the year's State School Aid Fund. Forty-nine i* rcent of each lottery dollar is turned hack io the players in the form of winnings. Education nets 41 percent, with bank commissions garnering one percent, sales agents six percent in commission, and three percent going back to the Stall* taiftcry Commission for operating costs Michigan residents may play any of five basic games three daily games, an instant game which changes formal every two months, and a sub­ scription weekly game. 1983. runs "a poor third”, said Boersma. Boersma said not many big spenders come into his store to play the lottery Nobody’s spending his family’s egg money on lottery tickets. It’s not that kind of a community.” said Boersma. "Six to eight dollars is a big bet. but mostly it’s just one or two dollars." Boersma said there are a lot ut small winners in the newest instant game, and the winner usually just turns his winnings back into more tickets "He’ll bet two dollers. get a two dollar winner, buy two more tickets, get a free ticket, then leave." Boersma said he’s paid out S9.300 on his daily game since July, when the machine was installed. In that time, he’s had three $500 winners, which is the most his store is prepared «o pay out. Boersma and other agents in the slate are paid a six percent commission on lottery sales. “It doesn't amount to much in Barry County, but in some of the larger cities, there are little ma and pa stores making $50,000 a year just selling lottery tickets." he said. In his opening remarks to the Stale House of Representatives committee reviewing lottery operations. State Lottery Com­ missioner Michael J. Carr characterized the Sooth Jefferson Street News /----------------------------------------------- \ FAIR Dally Three The Daily Throe is the lottery’s most popular game with 1982-83 sales of over $316 million. It is described by the stale lottery commissioner as "Michigan’s version of the illegal numbers game". Players select their own three-digit number, and can win up o $500 on a straight $1 bet. or $250 on a straight in cent bet either way. the odds of guessing the cornvt number is l-m-l.ouu. Players can also tax their bets For example, if you box 456. you can when six different ways: 456. 546. 5G4. 645. <’•54. and 465. That is called a six-way tax. and with odds of 167-to-l. it pays $41 on a 50 cent bet. or $83 on a $1 bet. A three-way box. where two of the three digits an* the same, pays off $166 on a SI het. or $83 on a till cent tat The chance of hitting a three-way tax is X33-1O-1. The need to improve the Barry County Fairgrounds is apparent to all who pass by it. It is of concern, not only to the people who use the fairgrounds, but to the rest of us who are proud of this community and want that pride reflected in our facilities. Businessmen, city res­ idents, 4-H, all of us should partic­ ipate in the renewal. Barry County 4-H is offering an excellent oppor­ tunity for you to help with a fundraising auction on May 12.

"The oulk of the players are in the $15,000 to $34,000 a year income bracket and play in a higher ratio than their percentage of the population." Persons earning under $15,000 a year play less, or not al all. because they can’t afford it. said Carr. "People in the upp«r income brackets play little, also. They have their own lottery — the slock market." he said. "From the research, it is clear that lottery players do not come from the ranks of the poor. Neither do they spend a lot of money on buying tickets, proving that lotteries are part of the entertainment industry, much like the purchase of records, books or movie tickets." said Carr. Carr quoted a Louisiana study which concluded "that the poor patronize the lot­ tery in numbers proportionately less than tlieir numerical presence in any given community.” "From a different perspective, must slate lotteries lake the position that lottery revenues are not a form of taxation; rather, they are returns from competition on the open marketplace for the leisuretime dollar." said Carr. Carr said a University of Michigan study showed that 82 percent of the residents of lottery state approve of lotteries. Nation­ wide. the approval is 71 percent. Seventeen stales, plus the District of Columbia currently have lotteries, and of the 33 states without lotteries. 27 are considering in­ stituting one. The survey takers commented. "The public apparently recognized that people gamble al their own risk, and that it is not the role of government to prevent those who wish to gamble from doing so — unless it becomes a danger to themselves or their families."

MAKING MICHIGAN’S FUTURE "We are talking about 150,000 megawatts, which is 150 typical nuclear plants or 250 to 300 coal-fired plants, which must be constructed just to replace plants which need to be phased out In addition, if we haue just a three percent increase in load growth, well need another 18,000 megawatts per year—something in the range of200,000 to 300,000 megawatts by the year2000. This nation’s utilities are not building anything approaching that now." completion of all plants now under construction, including both Midland units. Without those plants, we will face the same bleak prospect of shortages as other areas of the nation." With the plants, however, our region can enjoy a reliable supply of electric power based on the lowest-cost generating fuels available: coal and the atom. CONMIMIM CAMCITY VI NIID Donald P. Hodel U.S. Secretary of Energy THE FUTURE IS WHAT OUR SOCIETY MAKES IT. American technology is poised for a new leap forward. Michigan industry, shocked by recession and foreign competi­ tion, is committed to moderni­ zation. Michigan’s people will not accept less than full Opportunity for themselves and their children. That means economic growth in Michigan And economic growth demands an increased supply of electric energy. What is the outlook for that supply? NATIONWIDE: The U.S. will need almost twice our current electric generating capacity by the end of this century. That’s an addition of almost 400,000 megawatts of electric generation, but utilities nationwide currently have less than 200,000 megawatts of new capacity under construction or planned. Small wonder, then, that virtually evety forecaster, including die Department of Energy, anticipates serious U.S. electric shortages between now and the turn of the century. THE MIDWEST: Present forecasts for our region anticipate a 30 percent growth in electric demand over the next ten years, but only a 16 percent growth in generating capacity.

That, of course, is good news. But, to put it bluntly, our present electric system cannot accommodate continued growth. Without the added generation now under construction, even the modest annual demand growth we fore­ see will completely outstrip our generating capacity before 1990. That will not only raise the spectre of brownouts and blackouts; it will effectively prohibit economic growth. It doesn t have to be that way, however. Consumers Power Company has planned for the future, has invested in the future, is building for the future—not only to meet the minimum needs of Michigan’s industry and people, but also to accommodate the determination of Michigan's industry and people to grow and prosper.

WMU New Photo Local student named ‘84 Presidential Scholar Maryann Stalbaum of Hastings was one of 40 Western Michigan University seniors named a 1964 Presidential Scholar in a program sponsored by the WMU Faculty Senate and the Office of the President. The honor is the highest given an un­ dergraduate student at Western. The students are nominated for this honor by the faculty of the academic department in which they have a major. They were selected on the basis of general academic excellence, on academic and-or artistic excellence in a department s program and for their ii tellectual and-or artistic promise. Maryann Stalbaum was named a Presidential Scholar in the Department of Finance and Commercial Law. She is the daughter of Mr. Edward R. Stalbaum, 1851 S. Cogswell Rd.

She was a member of Alpha Lambda Delta freshman honor society and the WMU Finance Club. Last year, she was asked to join Beta Gamma Sigma business fraternity and this year, she received the Financial Management Association Honors Society membership. Dr. John T. Bernhard, president of the University, addressed the convocation at which the scholars received their awards on “The Vital Balance,’’ He urged the scholars to help defend the intellectual freedom of a university and the free society on which it is based. “If the individual freedom of students and faculty is lost, the university is destroyed," Bernhard said. "If the intellectually free university disappears, then the free society upon which it is based will likewise perish.” Dr. Fred V.

On an equal-weight basis, it provides more than two times the energy in car­ bohydrate and protein • nine calories from a gram of fat compared with four calories from carbohydrate and protein. Eats improve the taste of foods. Many people season foods with fat butter, margarine, bacon drippings and oil. Eat also gives the eater a feeling of fullness. Fats are respon­ sible for many of the characteristic flavors, aromas and textures of foods and they serve as carriers of vitamins A. D. E and K. Fat is part of virtually all foods. Some foods such as butter, vegetable oil and margarine are nearly 100 percent fat. These are called "visible” fats. Those found in whole milk, cream, ice cream, cheese, egg yolks, meat. nuts, olives, avacados. pastries and food mixtures are "invisible". The milk and meat groups furnish about half the fat in the American diet. Even though all visible fat is trimmed off meats, cooked lean meat still contains 4 Io 15 percent hidden fat. Choice cuts and higher grades that are well marbled with fat furnish higher amounts of fat. Fats vary in consistency at room temperature from liquid to solid. This variation in hardness depends upon whether the fat is saturated or unsaturated. Saturated fats tend to be hard at room temperature. Polyun­ saturated fats lend to be liquid at room temperature. Examples of saturated fats include animal fats (beef, chicken, lamb, pork) butter, eggs, coconut oil and palm kernel oil. Polyunsaturated fats include cooking oils such as corn, safflower, sun­ flower. soybean, peanut and vegetable. A process called hydrogenation is used to change cooking oils to a solid consistency. Margarine and vegetable shortenings are examples of hydrogenated oil. Hydrogenation is done by adding hydrogen to a liquid oil (highly unsaturated) which changes it to a solid consistency by making it inure saturated. The type of lai consumed over tlx* past 65-70 years has changed. Daily dietary fat from animal sources has decreased eight percent while consumption of vegetable fat lias increased over 50 percent Increased consumption of margarine and salad and cooking oils accounts lor this increase.

At the time of M.L.'s death, at the age of 97 years, he was writing historical articles for the Centennial Edition of The Hastings Banner. piled these antiques on it. and drew them onio the campus, hoping to shame their owners. From what they said lhe next day when they came afltt their missing property. I inferred that they had very little appreciation of our wellmeant efforts. That night we also discovered that a venerable citizen had brought to his back yard, in what was then called a democrat wagon - no political in­ sinuation is intended — yes, this venerable geezer had shamefully brought to hia own home in that wagon a barrel of [ freshly-made cider. Of course our sturdy bunch of college reformers could not stand for that. We all had learned in our chemistry classes that cider gets hard. Suppose this an­ cient citizen should drink enough of it, so that his appearance on the streets would shock the town! That, we decided, should never happen! So, we drew that wagon, with its dangerous load, onto the campus. Before deciding just what ought to be done, we drank liberal quantities of the unfermented juice ourselves. Then we tacked a card on the barrel and printed — but did not write — these words on lhe card: "To M.L. Cook the president and faculty of Albion College — This is our treat. Please help At the memorial services for M.L., yourselves.

The win. the team's second in as many league games, keeps them tied with Cold­ water for the Twin Valley lead. Hastings is now 8-2 overall. Moore won his fourth game in six starts. The hard throwing righthander pitched all seven innings, giving up only a first inning single and a fourth inning double. He fanned 12 to raise his season total to 55. "It was his best effort of the year," said Hastings coach Bernie Oom of Moore. Moore also raised his batting average to a team-leading .370 with a solo homer and a Hastings thinclads blast Northwest, 117-21 single. Jim Replogle added a two-run single while Greg Shaeffer chipped in with an rbi single. Oom said his team is playing excellent baseball. ■■They're doing real well," he said. "We’ve Leen playing good defense. In four of our 10 games we haven’t made an error. "As far as our hitting, we probably still haven't reached our potential yet." Oom said Hastings has key Twin Valley games coming up tonight with a doubleheader “t home against Albion, and next Friday against Hillsdale. “We're taking each game one at a time," said Oom. SPORTS 4 Saxon JV ball team 5-0 after 3 more wins The Hastings jayvee baseball team raised its record to 5-0 last week with a 14-4 thumping of Jackson Nortiiwest.

The EMTs help probably won't be needed, though the novice spectator present in the gym still expects them to rush to a scene any second. "Our main goal is to make them bored,” chuckles Steve Echtinaw when asked of the technicians. Such is the world of karate, or as the participants would rather call it, martial arts. One hundred and eighty five martial arts enthusiasts are gathered in the Hastings High School gymnasium on this day for the Mid-West Karate Championships hosted by the Hastings Karate Club. The sparring aspect of karate ap­ pears to be. at the least, extremely physical, at the most, even dangerous. Not so. says Echtinaw. a nationally ranked black belt and leader of the Hastings club. "The best way to describe it is a game of touch," says Echtinaw. “There are very few injuries. "There is only moderate body con­ tact. To say that there are a lot of in­ juries is a misconception." Scoring, he says, is simply a matter of who hits — though it's more like a lap — the other person first. Blows to the head, particularly in the lower belt divisions, are strictly prohibited, a rule definitely enforced The Hastings Karate Club offers four color belts < white, green, blue and black) which are based largely on experience and knowledge of the sport Depending on how hungry the person is. they could go from a white belt to black boll in two lo lour years, says Echtinaw. The degree of the belts can be likened to a baseball player who rises from rookie league status to Class A, AA, AAA and finally the major leagues. The appeal of martial arts, a defense tactic developed by serfs against land barons centuries ago, is three-fold. First, there is the self-defense aspect of karate. •‘That's why I joined." admits Echtinaw. "But, really, you grow out of that in a hurry." Secondly, there is the health aspect. The hours of work, usually at least five per week, keep one's body in excellent shape. The third and perhaps most significant appeal of karate is the discipline, respect and confidence an individual develops when studying the art. "I'm a good example." says Echtinaw. who is 27 and who has been studying martial arts for 12 years. “I was a long-haired, undisciplined. Daverage student in high school. I got into this and it gave me goals to work for and self-respect." Another appeal is the fact that anybody can learn karate. It's almost impossible to play, say basketball, if you’re only 5-fool-7. But somebody 5-7 could easily become a black belt if they have the desire. Echtinaw says he teaches five things in his karate class. He teaches the basic technique. "kata"orsimulated fighting against an imaginary foe. a one-step technique or pre-arranged defense pattern, sport-fighting, and self-defense techniques direct from the Michigan Stale Police defense manuals. "It's hard work, but it's fun work," says Echtinaw of martial arts. "Fun work has a tendency to make you forget how hard it is." Now if he could just find some work lor those technicians.. Harper Creek was the only team to beat Hastings last year as the Saxons’ swept to the Twin Valley softball championship. History repeated itself Tuesday night as the Beavers pushed a pair of runs across in the bottom of the 12th to nip Hastings 7-6 in a heartbreaker. The Saxons broke a 5-5 tie in the top of the 12th with a run. but two throwing errors allowed Harper Creek to score a pair of runs in the bottom half of the inning lo win 7-6. "We knew it would be a tough game," said Hastings coach Judy Anderson, whose team dropped to 9-2 overall and 0-1 in the league. "We’ll be battling for first place all year We'll just have to play well to win. "There are no easy teams." Hastings scored a single run in the second inning but the Beavers pushed across two runs in each of the fourth and fifth innings to lead 4-1. A three-run rally in the sixth highlighted by a two-run double by the Saxons' Laura Oom tied the score at 4-4. Hastings added another run in the eighth on an error to lead 5-4. Harper Creek, however, came back to tie the game again in the bottom of the inning. Cam Dunn was the losing pitcher for Hastings. Dunn pitched all 12 innings allowing nine walks, eight hits while striking out three. "I thought she pitched all right," said Anderson. "It didn’t seem during the game that walked nine people. It seemed she became more consistent the longer she pitched." Offensively, the Saxons banged out seven hits including three singles by Tawny Connor. Laura Oom added a pair of doubles while Laurie Snyder and Kim Galbreath each added singles. Anderson said Harper Creek is an ex­ cellent team. "They hit well, although it was tough to tell because the wind was so bad," she said. The Hastings coach admitted it was un­ characteristic of her team to lose a game on errors. "They tried to make everything perfect," noted Anderson of her fielders. "They wanted to make the perfect throw, and when you try to be perfect you’re going to make a mistake."

Hastings police to play ball with area youth by Steve Vedder Don Roy watches over young pitching prospects at the Hastings Youth Athletic Association tryouts last Saturday. The Hastings Police Reserves will be sponsoring a team in the league this year. Sergeant Joe Friday may have helped nail a paddywagon full of bank robbers in his time, but it's doubtful if he was ever called on to coach third base. Such may not be the case, however, for Mark Sleinfort. If all goes according to plan, the Hastings chief of police will be trading his law en­ forcement responsibilities for third base coaching duties this summer. The Hastings Police Reserves are funding one of the four baseball teams playing in the Hastings Youth Athletic Association this summer. The team, comprised of youngsters entering the fifth and sixth grades in the fall, begins play in Hastings next month. Carl Atkinson, a longtime coach in the association, will handle the bulk of the coaching duties team with an assist from Steinfort and possibly as many as two other officers from the city or state police departments. Under league by-laws, the police reserves will be responsible for paying the league's sponsor fee as well as supplying shirts and hats for the team. The idea of sponsoring a baseball team in the athletic association came from Steinfort, who thought it might better the relationship between police officers and area youths. "1 thought it would be a neat idea." said Steinfort. "It gives us a chance to do something else for the kids and community besides what we already do “This has nothing to do with law en­ forcement ; we're just getting with them i the youngsters) to do something different." Steinfort said he would eventually like to »ee the team manned completely by mem­ bers of the city police department. Until that time he is very content with having Atkinson available to offer his coaching skills to the team. Steinfort believes the youngsters can better relate to police officers If they are involved with them on a basebnll field rather than in a uniform. "Kids will see that a police officer is like anyone else," said Steinfort. "In that way kids can relate better to the cops. “I do think kids generally respect police officers.” Steinfort said he personally is looking forward to helping out the team this sum­ mer. "I really am," he said. “It's different Everything 1 get involved with is coporiented. This is really out there on the kids' turf." Hastings net team loses to Hillsdale The Hastings tennis team saw its record drop to o-l in the Twin Valley and 2-5 overall with a 74) loss to Hillsdale. In singles Dave Flood lost 1-6. 5-7.

Many animals are singing at night as part of courtship or their regular night­ time activities. The evenings of this month and the one just past are probably among the noisest of the year, surpassed only by midsummer evenings when fields full of crickets and trees full of katydids fill the air. The primary nighttime noisemakers in the natural world are the amphibians — frogs and toads — and the birds. The sound most familiar to most people is the peep-peep of the spring peeper. This small tree frog reproduces in puddles, drainage ditches and other short-lived bodies of water in the early spring, so you don't have to live near a marsh or pond lo hear its courtship song. Il’s often audible in urban areas. Other frogs and toads join the chorus later on.

Other sounds that almost everyone in Michigan can hear al this time of year are the sounds of night migrating birds You might not hear them every night you go out to listen, but you may hear then, on many of these evenings.

Many native species arc involved in courtship rituals at this- lime of year, and much of this activity occurs around sunset or Iwfore dawn The woodcock, for instance, goes through an elaborate mating dance. You may not recognize its mating song as something originating with a bird, however. Il's a not very musical buzzing noise that can ix? heard in vacant lots in suburbia as well as in more rural areas. The birds that are commonly active at night tend to be very noisy in the spring. Though the adult great horned owls are not hooting as much now as they were in lhe winter, when they were courting, lhe young owls screech all night for food. The barred owl and the screech owl. on the other hand, fill the woods with thier hoots. The barred owl is more often heard near swamps, while the screech owl prefers areas that have lots of big trees and expanses of lawn.

Before they get settled down to feed in lhe morning, and as they're getting ready to depart as darkness falls, you may hear bits and snatches ot familiar songs or charac­ teristic songs of certain species sung at a whisper level rather than in full voice.

Moy 3.1984, Page 13 Former area resident lauded for nursing work Maurttn Robinson A former area woman was lauded recently by the Lansing School District for her special contributions and service as a school nurse. Maureen Robinson, a 1950 graduate of Thomapple-Kellogg High School and a former resident of both Middleville and Hastings, was honored as the first recipient of the "Outstanding Contribution Award”, given by the Lansing District's “Quality of Work Life Committee". She and her family were guests at a reception, held in her honor, at the Stephen A. Partington Administration Building on Thursday. April 19. and she was soon after given special recognition, along with a plaque, at a Lansing Board of Education meeting. In receiving the awp-.d. Maureen was commended for her "high degree of concern and commitment for the well-being of students and their families". In particular, she was cited for her extra efforts on behalf of students who suffer very serious af­ flictions and the support she lends to the families of those children. "In these cases." the committee noted, “the scope and intensity of her relationship to the case assumes a degree of effort and empathy that few can emulate There are many people in this community— school district staff as well as students and their families— who passed through their moments of crisis with much more relative ease because of Maureen's love and care." Adding support Io those sentiments was Patricia Isom. Director of Student Services for the lensing Schools, who said that she (Maureen) "works many hours beyond the regular work day". "She '.as taken youngsters to special outings on weekends." Isom said, "and has provided middle of the night support by phone and in person at the hospital to parents of critically ill children." Isom added that, although her primary responsibilities are to the students and their families. "Maureen also serves as a support Io staff members who are facing health problems within their own families". "This support helps to lessen the stress which such situations can cause," Isom said. "Maureen s caring attitude is genuine and sets a fine example for us all to follow." Robinson has been a Lansing school nurse since 1964 and now heads a department of 11 nurses who work in 38 elementary schools and Beekman Center. She has worked in 22 of those buildings. Robinson said she believes her nursing training was "a gift from God". “It's not mine alone.” she said. "That's how God has allowed me to share, by being with other people." After graduating from Thomapple-Kellogg High, she received her degree in 1953 from the Mercy Central School of Nursing in Grand Rapids. She then worked in various nursing capacities in both Grand Rapids and Kalamazoo before moving with her family to Holt in 1964 and becoming a school nurse. She and her husband. John, lived in Hastings from 1959 Io 1962 when he was a sanitarian for Barry County. They have three grown children— Thomas who lives between Hastings and Middleville with his family. Susan who is a student at Cooley Law School, and Cheryl who is a student at Michigan State University. Maureen is the daughter of Marie Windes of lives in the Middleville area.

The Delton-Kellogg Board of Education has asked a Grand Rapids architectual firm to go back to the drawing board and pare down costs of a proposed energy con­ servation project in the school district. The board met Monday in special session with representatives of Daverman and Associates to find out why bids for the project were $150,000 higher than expected. The board plans to spend about $372,000 on the project to conserve energy usage in the district's three buildings. The loan is to be paid back with funds the district saves in energy costs. Bids received for the project in the areas of electrical work, temperature control and mechanical were not within the board's budget, said Dr. John Sanders, Delton's superintendent. He said the board has asked Daverman to pare down the costs, but not with the idea of completely redesigning the project. "We wart to make sure that we keep parts of the project that are directly related to energy conservation,” said Sanders. Officials from Daverman will report back to the board at another special meeting which has been scheduled for 7 p.m. next Monday (May 7). Sanders said Daverman representatives told the board this week that the firm had "overdesigned the project for what money was available.” For example, hesaid, original plans for the heating plant included costs that were probably not absolutely essential for the improvement of energy conservation but would have been beneficial to the district in the long run. Daverman also told the board that remodeling costs are difficult to predict. Regarding next week's meeting. Sanders said.

Michigan Fair bleacher plan approved by city The Hastings Planning Commission Monday night approved the site plans for a 1,300-seat bleachers at the Barry Cotnty Fairgrounds. Approval came quickly for the bleachers, which have been ordered by the fair board to replace the 100-yearoid, 900-seat grandstands which were recently torn down for safety reasons. However, members of the planning commission gave more time to the consideration of a 30-foot by 43-foot “storage building” on the fairgrounds, next to the bleachers. Mike Payne, city assessor, said the storage building would replace the old fair office, formerly located under the bleachers. Payne explained the storage buildings would consist of two older model, temporary modular classrooms from the Delton-Kellogg Schools. Planners approved the site plan with the stipulation that the tie-downs shall meet the manufacturer's specifications for the mobile units.

Banner Thursday, May 10, 1984 Price 25' Delay of landfill’s trial adds to pollution fears City sending out letters to landlords Persons owning rental property in the City of Hastings will soon be getting « reminder in the mail from the city building inspector to get their properties registered for building in­ spections. Constantin Hunciag, city building inspector, said that to date, ap­ proximately 336 rental units out of an estimated 800 in the city have been registered. He said a letter would be going out in the next week to each landord, advising him or her of the city’s building inspection ordinance. Ordnance No. 174, enacted Aug. 1, 1982, calls for a certificate of com­ pliance to be issued to the owner of each rental unit, following an inspection. No person, states the ordinance, shall operate, lease or occupy a rental unit unless there is a valid certificate of compliance by the building inspector. The ordinance makes it a misdemeanor, punishable by up to 90 days in jail and a $100 fine, for noncompliance. However Hunciag, who began work April 2, said he will avoid beavyhanded tactics to get houses registered, explaining “It’s better to be polite." _^^Devofed to the Interests of Barry County Since 1856 Fully involved — Firefighters found this farmhouse, located at 4355 E. Cloverdale Rd., fully Involved in flames and smoke when units from the Hastings, Johnstown and Maple Grove Fire Departments answered a 12:16 p.m. alarm Tuesday, at the Verdin and J^an Eldred residence. A state trooper on the scene said flames ap­ peared to have started at the back of the residence, where the kitchen is located, and spread to the front of the home. Verdin Eldred was reportedly discing his field when the fire broke out, while his wife, alerted to a smoke alarm, summon­ ed help. There were no injuries reported, and the fire remains under investiga­ tion. Damage is estimated at between 110,000 and $45,000. Freeport man’s death under investigation The death of a 29-year-old Freeport man, Wednesday morning, is under investigation by the Barry County Sheriffs Department. Kevin Mark Vandenbroeck of 232 Cherry St. was found by Mark Heidt of Crane Road. Middleville, on Harris Creek Road. Heidt took Vandenbroeck to his Freeport home where he was pronounced dead by a medical examiner. Vandenbroeck's bicycle was near him when he was found. Heidt, who apparently was acquainted with Vandenbroeck, notified the Sheriffs Department after taking Vandenbroeck home. Department spokesman Sgt. Gerald Smith said that he appeared to have no external injuries other than a “bump on his head." The cause of death is not yet known. Neighbors said that Vandenbroeck had attended special education classes at Thornapple-Kellogg Schools, graduating in 1973. He was later employed at Buskirk Lumber for about seven years, they said. “He was happy. He always had a smile," one neighbor said. Deputy Robert Abendroth, who was the first officer to arrive at the scene, said that the incident is still under investigation. Delton board awards bid for school energy project An Allegan firm has been selected as the genera] contractor for a proposed energy conservation project in the Delton-Kellogg School District. The Delton board of education, at a special meeting Monday, accepted a $136,502 general contract bid from Harglo Con­ struction Co. which officially sets the project in motion. The board also directed Daverman and Associates of Grand Rapids, architects for the project, to rebid contracts for mechanical, electrical and temperature control work based on changes in the original plans. Previous bids received for those portions of the project were about $150,000 more than the board could afford to spend. The board anticipates spending ap­ proximately $372,000 on the total project wliich is geared to conserving energy usage in the district’s three buildings. Dr. John Sanders. Delton Superintendent, said Daverman Monday presented a •redesigned project" to fit the board's budget. The board had asked Daverman to shave costs of the energy project after it received the high bids. To reduce the project cost, Daverman suggested eliminating the original plan to convert the heating system in the lower elementary building from steam to hot water heat, said Sanders. Unit ventilators in that building will not be replaced either, ac­ cording to the redesigned project Also, some of the windows will not be replaced with panels in the high school and elementary buildings to keep the project cost down. Insulated doors will not be added as previously planned. However, the temperature controls will be changed in all rooms in the middle school and elementary school. Controls will be switched from individuals unit that operate ona24-hourcycletoa master unit with a day and night control which Sanders said is less expensive. Despite theadaptations in the project, "We are still anticipating a major dollar savings to the school district over a 10-year span," he said. by Ken Relbel "If there is a plume, it’s moving. Plumes don't just stand still." The plume is a concentration of organic and inorganic chemicals, including benzene and other cancer causing agents, seeping through the groundwaters beneath the KAVCo. landfill in southwestern Barry County. The speaker is Gary Marks, of the Depart­ ment of Natural Resources Enforcement Division, and his concern echoes the those of public officials and homeowners near the KAV-Co. landfill site "We’ve had our water tested...and there is not anything to be concerned about at this point,” said Richard Bryck, 131 S. Lake Doster Dr. “But it is of concern because of the potential problem." Bryck said the "bottom line" is that the landfill will always pose a potential threat as long as it is not capped. "As long as the facts are there, and we have developed that in­ formation, it makes sense to cap it im­ mediately, if it poses that potential danger." Following a series of groundwater testing in 1982, the State Department of Public Health issued a health advisory to a pregnant woman in one household, where methylene chloride was detected at 42 parts per billion. Two subsequent tests revealed no methylene chloride, however two organic compounds, known to be health risks, remained present in al! three tests. The analysis linked the landfill as the source of the pollution. After six years of official actions, a July 23 trial date for KAV-Co. is set in Barry County Circuit Court. The Michigan Department of Natural Resources, supported by the State Attorney General’s office, is seeking a court order to have the Kalamazoo-based con­ sortium clean up 65-acres of garbage, dumped over a 24-year period. The order calls for the company to install special pumps to purge the underlying waters of dangerous chemicals, to supply clean drinking water to nearby residents, and to construct an impermeable clay cover ever the existing 65-acre landfill site, to prevent further leaching of dangerous chemicals into the aquifer. In addition, the suit seeks payment of monetary damage to the state and a penalty to the company. “The problem is the effect the order has. We can order anyone to do anything we want," said Marks. "If they don’t do it, the only thing we can do is go to court. We’re hoping it will go in July. If it doesn't, we're in a pretty bad position.” a alternate trial date is set for April 15, 1985. The KAV-Co. story goes back ten years, when area residents first started com­ plaining about odors and improper surface management at the landfill. However, it wasn’t until 1978 that groundwater samples collected from on-site monitoring wells in- dicated that the landfill may have adversely affected the groundwater. Following a show-cause hearing held Feb. 2,1979, the DNR formally denied the Sept. 6, 1978 license application. KAV-Co. then requested an administrative hearing. Violations still occurred as indicated by DNR and County Health Dept, inspections. In May, 1979, a consent agreement bet­ ween the DNR and KAV-Co. was signed, requiring a complete hydrogeological in­ vestigation, and the installation of per­ manent monitoring wells. On Dec. 23, 1981, a complete report was submitted, including information regarding the new groundwater monitoring system. Two months earlier, the DNR had kinds of chemicals have entered underlying soils in groundwaters and nearby wells. At the conclusion of tlie hearing, BarryEaton Circuit Court Judge Hudson E. Deming agreed with the state’s contention that the operation of the landfill caused "irreparable harm" to the underlying groundwaters, and ordered the landfill closed immediately. , Deming set a Nov. 28,1983 trial date for the landfill. However, that date was adjourned at the last minute, following the death of a KAV-Co. expert witness, until July 25, with a second date of April 15,1985. The adjournment angered many area residents, and public officials. The Barry County Board of Commissioners drafted a “The problem Is the effect the order hes. Wo con order anyone to do anything wa want // thay don’t do It, Ma only thing woc.n do Is go to court" Gery Merks, Dept of Natural Resources Enforcement Division collected water samples from groundwater monitoring wells and a single family residence northwest of the landfill. The sample results revealed the presence of organic compounds in several down­ stream wells. It was determined that the compounds detected could have resulted from the installation of the wells. The same compounds were detected a month later during a resampling. In March and July of 1982, state and local health departments cooperated in testing residential wells in the Lake Doster area. At the state health department’s request, KAVCo. installed three new weDs between the landfill and the residents! area. These wells were installed in June and were included in July 1982 samplings, which resulted in the first health advisory warning. On May 11, 1982, the case was formally referred to the Environmental Enforcement Division of the DNR, the office which acts as a liaison between the DNR and the State Attorney General's office. On Sept. 7. 1982, the DNR met with KAVCo. officials, company attorneys, and Barry Health Dept, findings, and KAV-Co. was advised that the site should be closed and capped. The hydrogeological study, com­ pleted as a requirement of the consent agreement, demonstrated that the site could not meet natural soil liner requirements, and therefore didn't meet the state landfill act requirements. Following several adjournments, a show­ cause hearing was held on Jan. 25, 1963, in which the State Attorney General's office successfully closed KAV-Co. During threeand-a-half days of testimony by experts for both sides, it was revealed that 16 different resolution, staling "continued postponement only makes the site more difficult and more costly for those individuals affected by the plume that originates at the landfill site and travels toward a large population to the northwest." The reasons for the delay may lie in the cost to KAV-Co. of recapping the landfill site. "It will cost millions to cap it That Is a real good reason why KAV-Co. hasn't done anything," said Rae Hoare, Barry County Commissioner from Prairieville. "They’ve been squirming in all directions. “I think Kav-Co. will stall us as long as they can. I mean, you take a million dollars and put itin the bank and think of the interest it’s drawing. They have to be forced. This has bpen the case since day one," said Hoare. An Allegan County Health Dept, report on testing done in the past year show„ there has been no increase in contamination of residential wells. What contamination has been detected has revealed organic com­ pounds in the range of one to five parts per billion. However, Marks, of the DNR enforcement division, cautions that home wells are not good testing sites. "It may be a fairly complicated ground­ watering system," said Marks. "It’s hard to tell without a numbe** of monitoring well' A private well is not the perfect monitoring well." By DNR estimates, 13 percent of the groundwater contamination in the state is a result of landfill seepage. However, the KA VCo. case may be the first time that Michigan has gone to court to .-alt the operation of a landfill. Charlton Park to host Wine Walk If you’re interested in something different — something which has rustic charm and a sense of adventure — attend Historic Charlton Park Village & Museum's "Wine Walk" on Saturday, May 19, from 5:30 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. Historic Charlton Park Village & Museum is a 16-structure rural village, located on the banks of theThornapple River, six miles east of Hastings. During the "Wine Walk", the buildings will be staffed and the craft shops will be operating as history comes to life. Looking like a Currier and Ives' print brought to life, the village is set in the year 1900 and in­ terprets life from 1850-1900. The “Wine Walk" provides a sneak preview of the programs which will be of­ fered throughout the summer. For a $5 donation, admission to the village is provided and one can see the village differently than the average visitor does. The admission fee includes wine, temperate drinks, cheese and crackers, and homemade desserts. You can stroll through the village, stopping in the buildings to have food or to get your wine glass refreshened. According to Park Director John Pat­ terson. "This event is a fundraiser for us, to help raise operating funds. But is also prorides a pleasant manner for viewing the village and seeing the programs we will be offering this summer. This drawing illustrates how a plume of chemicals can seep through the ground, and concentrate in the under­ lying groundwaters, or aquifer. An aquifer, a slow moving flow of water through porous sori, is the source of water for residential wells. A plume has been detect­ ed under the KAV-Co landfill in Prairieville Township, but how fast or in which direction it is moving is uncertain. �The Hastings Banner— Thursday, May 10, 1984, Page 2 Veteran lawman declares candidacy for sheriff post VIEWPOINT: Commentaries from our editorial staff and the community — Editorial County Zoning: Board must keep on track The Planning and Zoning Commission and Board of Commissioners must allow lhe zoning process to work in its prescribed manner and must also do a better job of addressing the issue of campgrounds in Barry County. Two zoning requests, one at Charlton Park in 1981 and one at south Clear Lake this spring, were never addressed in terms of zoning, but instead the planning commission got sidetracked on the issue o.' camping. At Clear Lake, the commission should have been looking at how the land has been used — it previously had a ball Held and a convenience store — how it is currently being used with two camps in the area, and how it is going to be used in the future. Is single residential lake zoning consistent with the past, present and future land use? The Charlton Park circumstance was similar. Faced with a group of nearby residents who opposed a campground, the planning commission appeared to vote against the campground and not for or against the zoning. In that case, the plan­ ning commission was overturned by the Board of Commissioners. Government bodies, to act responsibly, cannot allow themselves to be sidetracked from the real issues al hand. The issue of campgrounds in Barry County will, however, continue to arise in its proper time. Based upon their experience with these two incidents, the planning commission and Board of Commissioners should, in advance, set a general policy Io follow. Commissioner James Gordon was correct in saying that visitors to Barry County should not find just a series of campgrounds on lakes. But, on the other hand, the county gov .rnment must look forward to the future and the potential that camping has for bringing more tourist dollars here. Tourist dollars mean jobs and could help Io reduce our excessive unemployment rate. Lake residents have a point when they object to the increase of penpie and traffic that a campground can bring. They enjoy their summer cottages and year-round homes and want to protect their investments. But. there is another side of the story. Lake residents do not control the public’s lakes, streams and rivers. Barry County has more than 46,000 residents and only a small number live or own property on the water. The people in nearby metropolitan areas want access to our natural resources, too, and the interests of all people must be considered when addressing plans for campgrounds. If camping is addressed properly, with county government setting the standards for quality, maintenance, and keeping the peace, then campgrounds located properly could be an asset to a lake area. The county government has addressed other problems, such as mobile homes, in a consistent manner and could do the A 29-year veteran law enforcement official has declared his candidacy for the office of Barry County sheriff. Harold Keena, 56. of 1507 Ottawa Dr., Hastings, is running on the Democratic ticket. Talking on his candidacy, Keena said he had been approached by several people about running and felt he had the "qualifications to perform the job that’s expected by people". Keena brings an experienced background to lhe race. A Grand Rapids native and graduate, he began his law enforcement career in 1951 as a patrolman with the Hastings City Police. He then served as undersheriff during the term of Sheriff Clarence Donovan from 1953 until he entered the Michigan State Police’s recruit school in April 1954. After graduating second in this class, he worked as a trooper at various posts, including Wayland. While at Wayland he was named “Trooper of the Year" in 1968 and the following year was promoted to sergeant. In 1973 he was promoted again, this time to sergeant-level 11, and was assigned as the state area co-ordinator for the State Police’s Emergency Services Division. His duties involved supervising and co-ordinating the various agencies involved in handling major disasters in the state such as floods, tor­ nadoes, explosions, gas eruptions and so on. He retired from the slate police in Dec. 1976 to take the position of undersheriff for the Eaton County Dept. While there, he said that he handled the administration of the department and jail and oversaw a $2 million budget. He retired from that post in August 1980 and returned to Barry County lo reside at his Algonquin Lake home. Keena was a member of the Fraternal Order of Police for 30 years, serving as president of the Wyoming lodge in 1967 and Hastings attorney Kenneth Weller has announced his intentions to run in the Aug. 7 Republican primary for Barry County prosecutor. Weller, 35, Park St., a 1966 Hastings High School graduate, operated a private practice in Toledo, Ohio for 114 years, and worked as chief assistant prosecutor in Barry County in 1977. He received his law degree from the University of Toledo School of Law in 1974, and completed his undergraduate studies at Western Michigan University in Kalamazoo. Weller said he needs 70 signatures to be placed on the August ballot. He said he made his decision to run for prosecutor "to give the voters a choice.” He is expected to face Barry County Prosecutor Judy Hughes in the primary, though Hughes has not formally announced her decision to run for a second term. T-K board seeks public input on proposal to start school day 30 minutes earlier The time change was originally suggested by the high school faculty and then approved by the district’s curriculum council. " Page said the rationale behind the time change is to “better synchronize our school timing with the Skill Center in Grand Rapids and the special education schools in Grand Rapids" which are attended by a group of TK students. If the change is approved, students in­ volved in athletics would no longer lose school time in the afternoon when they have to be excused early to travel to a dista. athletic event, he added. The time change, if approved, would be effective for the entire district because “we have single bus runs...all the kids arrive at the same time,” he said. The board also discussed several proposals, recommended by the curriculum council, that would change high school requirements. The proposals include new requirements for math, science, coop work experience, and independent courses. There is also a proposal to set up a college prep curriculum that a college bound student would have to follow. Hie college prep classes would include four-years each of English, math and science and three years of social science and physical education. In other business, the board: —Accepted the resignation of Duane Peterson as community school coordinator, a post he has held for the past two years in addition to teaching business education. Peterson will retain his teaching position but resigned from the other duties because of the long hours. —Approved the low bid from Crosby Henry Insurance Co. of Grand Rapids for $5,000 group life insurance policies for all school employees. The cost fur lhe coverage will be 21-cents per thousand dollars of insurance per year for each employee. —Approved the retirement of Evelyn Spencer, third grade teacher at McFall Elementary, at the end of this school year. —Extended the child care leave for first grade teacher Charlotte McKey for an ad­ ditional year, during 1984-85. She has been on leave for several years. Page said. —Granted tenure to Melinda Wines, high school English teacher, and Audrey Whipple, middle school social science teacher. Probation agent leaves Hastings post Barry County employees gathered Friday afternoon to say farewell to Ross Lieffers, a longtime County probation agent who left at the end of the day for a similar post with Muskegon County.

Weller to seek prosecutor job same thing with camping. When the issue arises again, the county government should address the issue of zoning first and then act on any proposed campgrounds on the basis of a clear policy outlined in advance. Students and school staff in the Thornapple-Kellogg School District will have to begin the school day 30-minutes earlier if a proposed change in the starting time is approved. The Thornapple-Kellogg Board of Education Monday discussed a proposal to change the starting time from 8.30 to 8 a.m. and said it would like to receive public input on the idea before it takes action on lhe matter at its June 4 meeting. Superintendent Gerald Page said the change, if approved, would also mean that school would be dismissed 30-minutes earlier, at 2:35 p.m. instead of the present 3:05 dismissal. Harold Keena, a 29-year veteran law enforcement official is seeking the county sheriff position. These five couples hod a taste of history ... literally. As a reward for bids they made last fall during Charlton Historic Village and Park's “Blue Ribbon Auction”, the couples Saturday evening were treated to a dinner at the Village's Bristol Inn, a 19th Century stage stop. In keeping with the time period of the building, staff member Jan Mecoli and volunteer Dana Frauh of Sunfield prepared on appropriate meal of chicken stolzeus with potato soup, asparagus, wilted lettuce salad, a side dish of lamb stew, and peach cobbler — all prepared in the inn's turn-of-thecentury kitchen. In addition they were driven to the village via carriage by Pat Bowerman and Bruce and Roberta Douglas, greeted at the gate by Fred Bower­ man, and welcomed into the inn by John Patterson, park director. Enjoying the excursion were (from left) Rich and Cynthia Miller of Lowell, Ind., Colin and Louann Cruttenden, Dick and Joan Fluke. Dick and Posey Shuster, and David and Carolyn Dimmers, all from the Hastings aren. In the back was John Patterson, proprietor of Bristol Inn for the evening. Local woman invited to WMU conference Marina Hunciag, E. South St, Hastings, has been invited to attend the 19th In­ ternational Congress on Medieval Studies at Western Michigan University. May 10-13. Marina is the wife of Constantine Hunciag, building inspector for the City of Hastings. She has worked as a curator for a museum in Bucharest, in her native land of Romania, and specializes in Byzantine art. She received the invitation after a WMU professor read a newspaper article about her and her husband’s journey from Romania lo Hastings. The article quoted Marina as saying she is pursuing a doctoral degree in art history from the Sorbonne University in Paris. The Hunciags arrived in America in August, 1983. They came to Hastings in early April, after Constantine started his building inspector position. While at the conference, Marina will hear lectures titled Manuscript Studies, Literary Approaches to Hagiography, Cistercian Studies, Illuminated Manuscripts, Problems in Byzantine History and Central Europe and Use of Computers by Humanists. Several of the lectures will be delivered in French, which Marina speaks fluently. PUBLIC OPINION and Elaine Gilbert Welfare cutback? Feasibility study sought on merging county offices A feasibility study has been requested by an association of township officials on com­ bining the offices of county clerk and register of deeds. Wayne Miller, supervisor of Baltimore Township and secretary of the recentlyformed Michigan Township AssociationBarry County branch, requested the study in a letter to the Barry County Board of Commissioners. In the study request. Miller cited the ad­ vantages of less duplication between the two offices, a more streamlined county govern­ ment, and budget savings. Miller noted that three or four other counties, including Calhoun, have combined the offices. McPharlin art show on Friday cancelled A planned show of artwork by former Hastings resident Vincent McPharlin has been cancelled because McPharlin suffered a mild heart attack. McPharlin was to show his work from 10 a.m. to 8 p.m., Friday, at the First United Methodist Church. Agnes Smith of the Hastings W'omen’s Club, sponsor of the show, said that she was notified of McPharlin's illness and decided to cancel the show after talking with him. The Michigan Township AssociationBarry County branch is comprised of all the elected officials from the 16 townships. Miller said there were 23 officials at the meeting who made the request for a study.

Jackie Bergeron Mickey Fisk Lorraine Cooke Up to 75 percent of Michigan’s welfare recipients would lose benefits from April to September under a proposal by Stale Senate lawmakers to eliminate benefits for those classified as physically and mentally able to work, regardless of what work is available. It is estimated the move could save Michigan as much as S8X million a year. Would you favor such a law? Jackie Bergeron. Allegan: "I think that if they look for a job. they should try. If they can’t work, they should have the money tc eat...l have to work for a living.” Bob Taffee, Hastings: "If you can find work and you're unwilling lo, you shouldn’t get that money. There are too many people sitting around and not looking.. . But you can’t put people out in the cold, either. Anything short of starving people to death (would be acceptable)." Sandra House. Hastings: “Since 1 have a daughter who is a single parent, and who works to support a baby. I think it would be a good idea. I work, my husband works. We’re tired of supporting (welfare recipients)." Fundraising idea for fair offered To the Editor: As we were reading The Banner about lhe bleachers at the fairgrounds, we did a little mathematics and figured that, if 1,376 (the seating capacity) persons would give 534.02 each, it would make the $46,800 needed. We are sending our check for $70 today Still needed: 1,374 people to do the same WILL YOU HELP? Howard & Kathryn Ferris Darlene Slap, Hastings: “I see a lot of people taking advantage of welfare. I've heard them say so. I know of people who have kids just to get more from welfare. So I think there should be more investigating going on of people who don’t deserve our help. There are people who need welfare I’d hate to see them go without." Mickey Fisk. Hastings: “It has its good and bad points If welfare is stopped for a family that has a child who needs special things like medicine or special foods it would really hurt and lhe child may end up to be neglected. That’s not the child's lault if the mother or father isn’t working. Why should the child be punished? For parents who have grown kids, there are jobs if they want them. They might have to lower themselves and mow lawns and clean yards, but it’s better than no work and it’s good for their selfesteem." She also added that she wonders how the cuts would be determined. “Who is lo say who is cut off or not" during the proposed six-months. “1 know there are some who could find work but there are some that might not be able to get jobs." Lorraine Cooke. Orangeville: "I think more effort should be made lo keep the family units together, and perhaps more effort would be made by adult members of the families to gain employment. This legislation might hurt some with minor children, but then again it could strengthen the family, which I think is most important. Some people do not put their priorities where they belong. I know of instances where no effort is made because of medicaid." Barb Cichy. Delton: "I think it's a good idea if they guarantee jobs (for these people) first. Otherwise, there will be a lot of people in debt and destitute, especially in this county." Becky Thayer. Hastings: “It doesn't even make sense because many people are vic­ tims of circumstance. Whatever happened to Reagan's trickle down theory? It hasn’t worked. What do single parent families do? They already lake so much out (of a check) that it's going to discourage people from working. Welfare recipients that can find work should be able to have self-satisfaction rather than getting discouraged. I think they should have more programs to help lhe working poor." �The Hastings Bonner—Thursday. May 10. 1984.

Cigar-box labels are collectibles by Elaine Gilbert This week featuring... Terri Jager Farming, raising a family, and helping with church and school activities keep Terri Jager busy. Terri and her husband Dan help operate a dniry farm located between Shelbyville and Marlin. He milks 150 cows and does field work on the farm which is a partnership between the couple and two of his cousins and tlseir families. As her share of the farm chores, Terri says she takescare of the calves, cleans the office part of the barn, and mows the lawn. Vegetable gardening keeps her busy too. She notes that her oldest son, Kevin, 7, also helps with some of the farm chores. The couple have two other children: Nathan, 5, and Eric, 4. Terri's been involved in dairy fanning for nine years. Prior to moving to the Martin area six years ago, her husband and his father operated a dairy farm .in the Kalamazoo area. A member of the East Martin Christian Reformed Church, Terri is a Calvinette leader for a girls church group. She also is active in the church school as a school aide, working with other women to conduct fund raisers, etc. “I love to bowl and play volleyball and softball too," she said. Terri was one of the 30 Allegan County area participants in a dairy products promotion last week which offered a "Real Meal” to reporters and photographers from area newspapers. For the event, all 30 women, who are associated with dairy farming, prepared their favorite recipes which call for a variety of dairy products in the ingredients. The press was invited to sample the potpourri of foods, and the recipes, which range from apetizers to desserts, were distributed for publication. This week's column features the lime salad Terri prepared for the promotion. Terri says she likes the recipe because "it tastes really good. It's not hard to make and has quite a few dairy products in it." (More recipes from other women who attended the event will be featured in a June — dairy month — issue of the Reminder and Banner). Terri’s Lime Salad Ingredients: 1 3-oz. package of lime gelatin, >z-bag miniature marshmallows, 1cup milk, 1-oz. cream cheese, 1-can crushed pineapple (do not drain), two-thirds cup mayonnaise, 'it-pint whipping cream. Heat marshmallows with milk and pour hot mixture over gelatin until disolved. Stir in cream cheese, pineapple, mayonnaise, and blended whipped cream. Pour into mold or dish. Refrigerate until firm, preferably overnight. T«rrl Jager Is partial fa recipes that use dairy products. That's because she and her husband or© dairy farmers. One of her favorite recipes is lime salad because it "tastes goo-I" and contains several dairy products, Terri said.

For more information call the Extension office - 948-8039. There is no denying the importance of tobacco in this country's history. American Indians had cultivated and used tobacco for centuries prior to Sir Walter Raleigh’s colonies, established on islands off the coast of what we now call North Carolina, in the 1580s. Raleigh's men brought tobacco to England and introduced the potato to Ireland. Europeans had learned of tobacco when Columbia and his men observed Indians smoking and inhaling it as sjiuff through a hollow piece of cane they called a "tobaga". It was this instrument, of course, that inspired the name of the plant. In 1561, Jean Nicot, ambassador to Portugal, suggested snuff to the French queen, Catherine de Medici, and she made its use fashionable as a remedy. Raleigh popularized smoking in England, and — of primary importance to us — because of his opposition to burgeoning Spanish power in the New World, he initiated the idea of English colonies in America. By the end of the 17th Century, tobacco was being used worldwide, despite royal efforts in some countries to keep it out and to outlaw smoking.' (In one country, the penalty for a third offense was death.) As growers multiplied and America began importing, as well as exporting tobacco, competition increased. By the mid-19th Century, competition brought with it a need to advertise — to somehow set the product apart. Some say this is how the lowly cigar band got its start. One story says that the famous Gustave Bock, cigar maker extraordinaire for more than a century, invented them to distinguish his cigars from inferior imitations. Another favorite "origin story" claims that Cuban women, who smoked cigars long before American ladies had “come a long way, baby", picked them up with little strips of paper to avoid nicotine stains on their fingers. Cigar bands were colorful and were being collected as early as the turn of this century. Colorful as these miniature works of art were, they were too small to serve as advertising — to catch the potential buyer's eye. So cigar box labels were bom. and they are some of the most colorful ad­ vertising around. It took color and fancy design — if one manufacturer’s cigars were to stand out among other equally flamboyant boxes in a storekeeper's glass showcase. This was the heyday of the colorful print in America. Printers were busy, and an artist could make a living supplying printers and publishers with paintings for cards, calendars, and special commissions such as designs especially tailored to a particular cigar manufacturer’s needs. A separate press nin was required for each color in a cigar-box label, and as many as 22 colors — enhanced by paper with special finishes, bronzing powders, and embossing — might be used. Virtually every town in America al the turn of the century had a cigar store, complete with Indian outside, and its own house brand of cigar. The cigars may have been made locally or imported, but the labels were the proprietor ’s choice. They might reflect a vocation such as optometry, den­ tistry, or pharmacy, or even carry a picture of the merchant’s wife and children. Those who chose a “ready-made" label from a sample book, such as the Kruegar and Braun, ran the risk of seeing the same label touting a com­ petitor's brand. Several in this par­ ticular sample book are shown with the names of different brands as examples. Every box of cigars had to carry a notice called a "seal” or "stamp" or "tag” stating "The manufacturers of the cigars herein contained have complied with all the requirements of law. Every person is cautioned not to use either this box for cigars again, or the stamp thereon again, nor to remove the contents of this box without destroying said stamp under the penalties provided by law in such cases. Each label is pictured in two sizes: an “in" and an "out”. The “ins" are bigger, of course, because the box was to be open when displayed. Some sample cigar-bands from this catalog (Kruegar and Braun) carry copyright dates in the 1880s. Collectors of cigar seals, labels, and bands have tried, as the beer can collectors have, to keep filthy lucre out of their hobby. Most would rather trade than buy or sell. They have succeeded, to a degree, in the areas of seals and bands. But labels are becoming in­ creasingly sought-after items. Pre-1930 examp’es, and some even later in good condition, with good color, start at around $10 for a matched pair of “in” and “out" labels. Value in­ creases with extravagance of color and desirability of theme. The in­ dividualized, special order labels, mentioned before, are highly desirable and, the more unique or outrageous, the better they are. Collectible themes include airplanes, dirigibles, Wild West heroes, politicians, Indians and railroads. Celebrities lent their names and likenesses to labels, as did such artists as Richard Outcault with his famous Busier Brown. The 1930s marked the decline of cigar smoking, as well as a switch from in­ dividual printing processes to photo­ mechanical reproduction. These later labels can be identified under a powerful magnifier (10X or better) by the uniform pattern of black dots. Before buying old cigar bands or labels, study under magnification.

Barry County Medical Facility activities by...Esther Walton County had 12 Indian villages History shows the first permanent residents of Barry County /ere Indians of the Algonquin Tribe, mostly Chip­ pewa and Pottawatomie, who lived in 12 villages throughout the county. Traces of earlier Indian civilization were evident in the mound left by the mound builders and noted by the Jesuit priests and French traders in the 1700s. The Pottowatomies Indians were joined each autumn by Ottawa Indians who made their summer homes in the vicinity of Macidnac and the Straits area and journeyed south to Barry County for the fall and winter. A total of 13 Barry County Indian villages were mentioned oy pioneers. Some in­ consistencies as to what was or was not a permanent settlement was due to the old settlers accounts. The settlers did not distinguish between a wintering site and a permanent settlement. There were two major permanent villages, one in Thornapple Township and the other in Assyria Township. In Thornapple Township, an Indian village was settled near Adams Road where it dead-ends into Norris Road, south and west of present Middleville. This village was known as "MiddleVillage" because its trails were located halfway between Kalamazoo and Grand Rapids. Several major Indian trails which crossed the state con­ verged here, causing a natural resting stop on travels. More than 100 Indians were reported to have lived here year round. Johnstown Township had two villages of 20 to 30 wigwams (or families). One village was located near the Wanondaga Creek, west and south of Assryia Center and the other was on the shore of Bristol Lake. The present City of Hastings con­ tained an Indian village of 25 to 30 families. A family was estimated to be about ten people. With the arrival of the winter season, as many as 500 Indians lived or wintered in the village. The village was situated on the north side of the Thomapple River, west of present Michigan Avenue bridge (where Echtinaw's Service Station is currently). The foot trail from this I ndian village to "Middle Village” went north on Michigan Avenue and then west over present State Road in the early 1830s. This trail was the first and only route into the early Village of Hastings. Henry Goodyear. the first storekeeper in Hastings, recalled, “At times there would be quite a number of Indian., encamped on the present city site and to their credit, be it said we always had the best understanding with them." When the cold northern winch started to blow and the trees turned scarlet, gold, and red, the Indians in northern Michigan loaded their 20-foot-long canoes with their children and women; furs, deer skins, poles food and hunting equipment, setting off south on Lake Michigan. When they reached the mouth of the Grand River, they traveled the Grand to the Thornappie River and up the Thornapple to the center of Barry County. Then groups of families selected their own wintering sites or villages or they would join the permanent Barry County Indian villages. Five small villages were scattered across the county in various townships. It is not known if these were permanent or wintering sites. Gun Lake had in its village a mixture of Ottawas, Chippewas and Pot­ towatomies, Indians numbering 150 persons in 1838, who lived upon the peninsula now known as Hastings Point. In 1837, when Lorenzo Mudge came to Castleton Township, as its first settler, he lived for "some time" in an Indian village and wigwam. Present Irving Township and Rutland Township shared an Indian village which was located at one time on the north side of the Thornapple River in Irving Township and at another one on the south side of the river in Rutland Township where the river divides the north and south section lines of the two townships. Small groups of Indians traveled across Barry County to camp on the south bank of the Coldwater Creek near Carlton Center. In the northeast section of the county, in Woodland Township, Chief Sawba’s band lived on or near Jordan Lake. A large group of Indians camped on the present site of the Medical Care Facility. This village was reported to have about 1,000 Indians in the 18301840b. As this site was not marked oi. the original 1830's surveyor’s map. there is a strong possibility it was a wintering village site. About seven of these village residents became Christians and moved to Indian Lan­ ding. Indian Landing was located on the Thornapple River near Thornapple Lake, the site is now known as Charlton Park. There a Methodist Mission Church and School was established for the Indians. A total of three area Christian set­ tlements were established for the In­ dians between 1836 and 1850. Indian Landing was set up by Reverend Mannas sah Hickney. Then there was Selkirks Mission by Reverend James Selkirk in Allegan County. Rev. Selkirk gathered Indians from around Barry County, but mostly the Gun Lake tribe. Saginaw was their chief at the time of removal in 1838 to Wayland Township in Allegan County. Reverend Leonard Slater in 1836-1837 brought a group of about 300 Christian Indians from Grand Rapids to sections 26 and 27 in Prairieville Township, near Milo and Cressey Road. Rev. Slater built a mission church and school. Chief Noonday, who had been converted to Christianity, was the best-known resident of that mission settlement. W.W. Potter described Chief Noon­ day in History of Barry County: "Easily the most distinguished of the Slater Indians were Chief Noonday, a man over six feet in height, broad shouldered and well proportioned; a man of wonderful muscular power, he easily maintained his leaderhsip among the savage tribes of the Grand River Valley, whose legions he had led against the Americans during the War of 1812. It is claimed that he was present at the burning of Buffalo, took part in the battle of the Thames, and personally witnessed the death of Tecumseh, then a brigadier general in the British army.

Saxon linksters finish last in meet The Hastings golf team's first exposure to a Twin Valley jamporee found the girls finishing last in the seven-team meet. The Saxons shot a 262 to trail Hillsdale, which won the meet with a 206. Other team scores included Marshall 213, Sturgis 228, Harper Creek 220. Coldwater 232, and Albion 257. Angie Weller led Hastings with a 61. She was followed by Nancy Peterson with a 62, Jodi Miller with a 68, Kristen Arnold with a 71 and Susan Strong with a 74. "Much was learned from this experience," said Hastings coach Gordn Cole, "and we expect to improve our next performance as we continue to gain experience."

So did George Sullivan. Bernie Oom, admittedly didn't, but was still pleasantly surprised. The emergence of Moore and Sullivan as top-notch pitchers on the Hastings baseball team came as no surprise to either one of them, who had both worked long and hard for a season like the one they’re enjoying. To Saxon coach Bernie Oom, however, the outstanding performances of his two hardthrowing righthanders aren't as shocking as a 7.5 on the Richter Scale, but they are nonethe-less surprising. "They've developed beyond expectations as far as I'm concerned," admitted Oom, in his 19th year of coaching the Saxons. “I knew they'd be tough because they worked hard last summer and spring to get themselves ready to pitch." The added work doesn't turn out to be wasted effort. Going into Tuesday's game at Marshall, Sullivan had compiled a perfect 46 mound record while Moore stood at 5-2. Moore hadn’t surrendered an earned run in 392 innings while Sullivan had only given up eight earned runs in 33.2 innings of work. Moore and Sullivan had both fanned 66 Hostings rlghthondors George Sullivan (left) ond Jock Moore hove propelled the Soxons to the top spot in the Twin Volley stondings. batters. It wouldn't be outlandish to suggest Moore and Sullivan are largely responsible for Hastings standing alone atop the Twin Valley standings with a 4-0 record going into the Marshall game. Oom said his pair of prize moundsmen might be the best in the league. "We haven't seen the whole league yet, but it would be tough to see anyone better," he concluded. Is there any added incentive for the two pitchers to match each other's performance? "I don’t necessarily want to beat him, because be is better than me," admitted Sullivan, who is only a junior. "But I still want to pitch good." Moore, a senior with two years of varsity experience tucked under his belt, agrees. “I don’t think about past games," he said. "I think about the game right now. 1 feel like I’m out to do a job and I don't want to let my team mates down." Moore is quick to name his teammates as a large part of his success story in 1984. "We’re a stronger defensive team than we were a year ago,” said Moore. "They've made some good plays behind me." By the same token, though, Moore has helped himself considerably, too. He leads the team in hitting with a hefty .375 mark while also slamming two homers and driving in 15 runs — also team highs. "I’m pleased with my hitting," said Moore. "I'm hitting the ball well. There is usually guys on base when I'm up and I've been driving them in." The performance of Moore and Sullivan doesn't come as a surprise to either one of them because they recall playing on the 1982 Hastings jayvee team which went 15-2. That year Sullivan was 5-2 as a freshman and Moore compiled a 76 mark before being pulled up to varsity. As Sullian pointed out of this season, "I figured we d be at least this good." Even though it certainly is a surprise to the rest of the Twin Valley. The Twin Valley baseball race was thrown into a dogfight on Tuesday night as fron­ trunner Hastings dropped a tough 4-2 decision to Marshall. The loss, Hastings' first after four wins, drops the Saxons into second place depen­ ding on the outcome of Coldwater's game on Tuesday. Coldwater was 36. Marshall is now 2-2-1 with the win. Saxon junior righthander George Sullivan, battling bitter cold and wind, surrendered only one earned run while being tagged with his first loss of the year after four wins. Sullivan pitched a six-hitter while walking four and striking out nine. Marshall erased a 16 first inning deficit with a run in the bottom of the second and two more in the third. The Saxons had scored on a single by Gregg Shaeffer, the only Hastings player with two hits, a sacrifice, another single by Joel Christensen and a balk. Hastings narrowed the gap to 4-2 in the sixth when Jason Sixberry singled in Christensen. Hastings, now 12-4 on the year, travels to Hillsdale on Friday for a key doubleheader. Saxon JVs win two games from Albion Steve Hayes pitched a five inning no-hitter in the opener and Hastings erased a 36 Albion lead in the second game to sweep a doubleheader from the Wildcats, 116 and 76 last week. Hayes’ gem included six strikeouts and eight walks as he upped his record to 36. He also drove in a pair of runs. Jon Christensen batted in three nms while Mike Karpinski drove in a pair with a double. In the nightcap, Albionjumped to a 36 lead after three innings, but the Saxons rallied for two in the fifth and three more in the sixth for a 5-3 lead. Christensen singled in the game winner in the sixth inning. Karpinski was the winning pitcher on a seven-hitter. He allowed seven hits and four walks while fanning eight. Hastings is now 86 overall and 46 in the Twin Valley. SPORTS ...ataglance by Steve Vedder See you in San Diego The boy. then only a mere tyke of 11, watched the sky high pop up spin off the bat of Mike Shannon and into the glove of Bill Freehan on an October afternoon and quick as a flash the youngster tore into his yard and began flinging his football in the air and smiling because his heroes, men with names like Freehan. Kaline. Northrup, Stanley, Horton, Lolich and McLain were the champions of the world over a lesser team called the Cardinals and everything seemed right to the 11-year old boy, who had religiomly followed his favorite baseball for years before and after that October afternoon, and who was disapointed for years following that day because he never saw his favorite team play another World Series game in the 16 years after Freehan smothered that pop up, and after a while the boy — who eventually grew up to interview some of his old heroes — thought he’d never again experience that radiant feeling that had been captured on that October af­ ternoon and that his team would never again forge its way into a World Series, and it was about that time he remembered the story about the Chicago bartender who claimed the Cubs would never win a pennant in his lifetime and who died while his Cubs were still stumbling around the National League in search of a flag, and the boy thought maybe his favorite team might be in the same boat and that he might turn old and gray or perhaps even cash in his chips before his team won a World Series again, but still the boy tried to keep the faith in the decade and a hlaf after the *68 pennant even though his team continually broke his heart every summer, but because the boy was a die-hard, he wanted to regain that special feeling again — even though each season brought the same mediocre team, with the same mediocre results, but finally as the 1980s dawned the team slowly began to improve and become a team of ex­ ceptional young talent that even im­ pressed the old guard like Kaline, who now by now spends his time in broad­ cast booths with some other guy with an Arkansas twang, and between the two of them began singing the praises of ballplayers named Whitaker. Tram­ mell, Morris, Petry, Parrish and Evans, and these new ballplayers began to win - modestly at first, and then as the 1984 season opened, the team seemed to come of age much to the delight of the boy, who was by now hardly a boy anymore but a more sophisticated muckraker-type who still hadn’t lost his zeal for his favorite baseball team, which by now was 24-4 and leading its division by five and a half games as Mother's Day approached, and the muckraker-type began thinking back to when he was 11 years old and wondered if maybe this 1964 team was as good as the 1968 version, and when be did he became excited and thought to himself, "Hey, this is finally the year they’re gonna do it," and he even went down to the stadium on a cold Thirsday af­ ternoon to sec his team play against a ballclub that wasn’t even in the league in ‘68 and it was then that the buried, and nearly-forgotten feeling returned to him full force, the feeling that his team was going to be playing again in another Work! Series — probably against San Diego, he surmised — and began calling the airlines checking on plane reservations to the coast to catch his team in the Fall Classic knowing this time it wouldn’t be Freehan hugging a hulking Lolich on an un­ forgettable early autumn afternoon, but Parrish hying a bearhug on Morris on a special night in late October. �The Hastings Banner— Thursday.

Saturday, April 28 was a beautiful sunny day with a good still breeze but by Sunday night, that breeze turned into a gale which continued through the night and all day Monday. Wind speeds were between 30 and 50 m.p.h. all day with gusting up to 80 m.p.h. Tem­ peratures have dropped down into the 50s for highs. So much for spring. Fishing: With the past couple days' wild weather, fishing has come to a standstill on Lake Michigan. Charter boat captains say they expect it to pick up again today (Thursday). Trout - Saturday's opener was good in District 12. Water temperatures were in the high 50s to low 60s, even had some insect hatchings (caddis fly). Most streams were low and clear to slightly turbid. Good success was had mostly for brown trout using worms. As is normal on opening day, pressure was high throughout the district. Smelt - Smelt have been running since early last week along Lake Michigan. Some good catches reported towards the end of last week. Can’t say what is going to happen now. That big blow really churned up the lake. Spearing is open now in all non-trout waters for carp, gar and bowfin. Hunting: The first season opened for turkeys in the Allegan area iast Tuesday. The game area beadquarters has checked in five birds so tar — three from the first hunt and two today, the beginning of the second hunt. It is no longer required that hunters check birds in but biologists would still like them to do it on their own. Hunting weather has held pretty good except for yesterday. Fire: Greenup is coming along but fire danger is still high. Many grass fires oc- curring throughout the district so please be careful, especially in this wind.

Mobile home proposal opposed by Rutland Rutland Township officials are calling attention to a proposal before the state Mobile Home Commission which would require all mobile homes to be 14 feet wide and establish a minimum square footage requirement of 720 square feet. A hearing on the proposal wil be held from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. on Tuesday. May 15 at the State Office Building, 350 Ottawa St., N.W., Grand Rapids. The Michigan Townships Association is opposing the proposal, saying that local control of mobile homes located outside of mobile home parks is at stake. "If this proposal is adopted." the townships association said in a recent newsletter, "local or­ dinances requiring greater widths and square lootages will have to be approved by the commission." The association's position statement said that it questions the Mobile Home Commission's right to be involved at any level in the local zoning of mobile homes located outside of mobile home parks. In addition, the association feels that the proposed ordinance is inadequate and fails to address several key issues. Forest Foley, Rutland Township -supervisor, said that his township board is opposed to the proposal because it would create an unfair disadvantage for people who own 12 foot mobile homes now. "It's going to make a lot of trailers that young folks invested money in hard to get rid of," Foley said. “I think it's wrong. They won't be worth a dime to trade-in. upgrade, sell or anything else.” Foley said that if a mobile home meets the proper footage requirements. 720 square feet, they are allowed most anywhere in Rutland Township. He said that he and his township board have never had any objection to the 12 foot mobile homes and he believes most of the mobile homes around the county are 12 fool. The supervisor said that he will be unable to attend the Grand Rapids hearing of the Mobile Home Commission, but he hopes that Ellsworth Newton, chairman of the township zoning board, and Gary Haskins, township zoning administrator, will be able to attend. Comments on the proposal may be sent to the Mobile Home Commission. P.O. Box W222. Lansing. Mi. 48909, BENDER’S SALES a SERVICE M-37 Middleville ...

At the time of the fire, neighbors and firemen believed that Mrs. Fisher might be in the house. The Lake Odessa ambulance stood by while an attempt was made to find her. When members of the family arrived, they said that she was away with a relative shopping. So the house was empty and no one was injured, but the loss of property was total. Mr. and Mrs. Fisher are now living in a small travel trailer on the premises until they can begin rebuilding their home. Mrs. Stada Wolcott Hilbert was buried at the Woodland Cemetery with a graveside service on Saturday, April 28. Mrs. Hilbert spent almost her entire life in Woodland where she was well-known as the wife of Lawrence Hilbert, a member of the banking family of this community. At the time of her death, Mrs. Hilbert was 97 years old. She has lived the last several years with her daughter, Mrs Don Shomo (Louise) in Coldwater. She left two more daughters, Mrs. Lauren Gerlinger (Lorena) of Hadley, and Mrs. Charles Kenny (Ellen) of Plymouth. She also had a son, Richard, who lives in Los Angeles, Calif. Mrs. Hilbert is survived by an older sister, Mrs. Rena Walts, who lives in East Lansing. Pastor and Mrs. Clifford Randall of Zion Lutheran held an open house at the par­ sonage on Velte Road Sunday, May 6. The open bouse was from 2 to 5 p.m. and was to show neighbors and members of the church the newly-redecorated parsonage and let them become better acquainted with the new pastor and his family. The open house was a great success. Many people came during the afternoon. The Woodland Lions Club is planning an installation of officers to be held on Tuesday, June 12. The place has not been announced yet. Tom Gilliland will be installed as the 1964-85 president. Last Week a huge grey bird we believe was an immature Sandhill Crane dropped in at the Lucas farm. The crane landed in the small drain that runs through the field and spent several minutes hunting in it before it flew away. Several red-winged black birds investigated the large visitor but none were audacious enough to harass it The next day, two birds of the same species flew over the farm headed north, but the. did not stop. Both of these sightings occurred late in the afternoon. The ladies of Kilpatrick Church held a mother-daughter banquet on Friday evening, May 4, at the church. The dinner was potluck. Over 80 ladies and girls enjoyed a delicious meal with drinks served by Lawrence Chase, Clayton Goodrich, George Speas, Rick Federau, Claude Kilpatrick and Clyde Shoemaker. Lillian Vandecar had decorated the tables with flowers and can­ dles. After dinner, al) the ladies went up­ stairs for a program while the gentlemen cleaned up the dishes and put away the tables. The program started with the group singing "Faith of Our Mothers". Barbara Dalton was the organist and Nadine Speas was the pianist for the program. A welcome was given by Sheila Carter and response by Nancy Carter. Michelle Marsteller sang a solo. Flowers were sent to Fanny Smith who was unable to attend the banquet. Corsages were given to several mothers, including the youngest mother, the mother who came the f? 'hest for the banquet, the mother with the most children, and the speaker. The speaker was Sandy Burk from Grand Rapids. Her husband is the pastor of the Banner Street United Brethren Church. Mrs. Burk talked about memories and their relationship to our self-image and how to give our children positive memories. She did some drawing for the children. Her talk was light and entertaining.

The goal of the project was to make people aware that they must stop when driving a car if they see a person with a white cane in the street no matter where they are. Little white cane pins were sold by Lions Club members and the funds made go to Lions sight conservation projects. Cliff Mattson said that there was good community response to the sale, and the observation can be considered a success.

Consumers Power Company crews • scrambled to repair millions of dollars worth of equipment and downed elec­ tric lines which left more than a third of a million customers without power. It has been a trying time for both our customers and our crews. And we appreciate your patience and understanding. Company crewmen are especially grateful for your cooperation. Workers have been repairing lines around the clock and frankly, the Widespread damages were more than our workers could handle. Additional crews had to be imported from Ohio to aid in the restoration. Without your kind understanding, our work would have been much more difficult. We regret the inconvenience that any outage causes and will con­ tinue to work — as we have for nearly a century — to build a better, more reliable electric system. Building that system requires that the company have in place well-trained workers and well-planned procedures to deal with emergency situations. But it also re­ quires the company to plan today for the needs of our customers into the ‘90s and the next century. Maybe that’s something you take for granted — but we don’t really mind. In fact, we take pride in it. Because a i �The Hostings Bonner— Thursday, May 10, 1984, Page 14 Fern L. Donovan________ Area Deaths Robert C. Kalnbach NASHVILLE - Mr. Robert C.

Candidates file for county seats by Ken Reibel Kids can have some ‘pet’ fun Saturday— A chance to pet some animals, like these youngsters are doing, is just one of the fun things planned this Saturday in Hastings at the Bob King Park. A commun­ ity picnic— complete with games, booths, demonstrations, a bike rodeo, c pet parade, and a petting zoo— will kick off a seven-day schedule of Michigan Week activities for the local area. The Saturday event is part of 'Family & Hometown Day’ and is designed to offer some "good old" enjoyment. Shown here petting Yosemite Sam is (from left) Mike Williams, 7, son of Mark and Renae Feldpausch, and Kyle Steward, 7, and Tiffany Steward, 3, son and daughter of Steve and Debbie Steward. The Hastings City Council has postponed a final decision on the permanent closure of Country Club Dr., after more than a dozen residents of the Indian Hills subdivision turned up at a public hearing Monday night to protest closure. Council referred lhe matter to its streets committee, and adjourned the public hearing to the May 29 meeting. Many residents at Monday night’s meeting expressed concern that emergency vehicles would not be able to gain entry to the neigh­ borhood should Indian Hills Dr. be blocked, as residents claimed it was during a recent windstorm. One resident referred to the closed road as "a long-established, optional method of egiess." Other residents objected to the way the city closed Country Club Dr. without first holding a public hearing. “The reason we're here tonight is to have a public hearing on this issue, and it is my view that the city council does have the authority under a traffic control ordinance to close the street on a temporary basis for 90 days," said Richard Shaw, Hastings city attorney. Shaw cited one traffic expert's opinion that Country Club Dr. is "an accident and a lawsuit waiting to happen," and told coun­ cilmembers and citizens "I think the council’s number one responsibility is public safety." Shaw said it would cost the city ap­ proximately 8500,000 in improvements to make Country Club Dr. safe. It was further noted by the city engineer that several hills would have to be lowered four to five feet. Noting that emergency vehicles carry bolt cutters, Frank Rothfuss, Indian Hills Dr., suggested a chain be placed across both entrances to Country Club Dr., allowing those vehicles access to and exit from the Indian Hills subdivision. “At the outset, I want to say that I am personally not totally opposed to the closing," said Rothfuss. "There are numerous places where power lines cross Indian Hills Dr., and these lines can and win block access to Indian Hills. This was recently demonstrated during a wind storm. “Downed power lines cause grave concern to residents of the area,” said Rothfuss. "Should a disaster occur, blocking the road, with a subsequent emergency, such as a Family & Hometown Day starts off Michigan Week A community picnic this Saturday at Bob King Park— complete with games, demonstrations, a petting zoo and a pet parade— kick off a seven-day schedule of Michigan Week activities in Hastings. Tabbed “Family & Hometown Day”, the Saturday event will run from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. The Hastings Exchange Club will sell hot dogs and fruit juice, the Hastings Lions Club popcorn, and the local Girl Scouts bar-b-que sandwiches and pop. Booths at the park will include a craft display by the Boy Scouts, candy and button sales by the Campfire, a dunk lank and face painting by the Girl Scouts, and folk pattern exhibits by the LDS young men and women. In addition, there’ll be a petting zoo with a calf, lambs, baby goats, kittens, puppies and similar small animals expected to be on hand. The Friends of the Library will hold three "Story Hours”, each for a half hour. The first is at 11:30 a.m., the next at 1:30 p.m. and the last at 3 p.m. At noon the 4-H and Hastings City Police will conduct a Bike Rodeo. Theevent, open to all ages, includes a safety skills test for children and a safety check-up of the bikes. The police will also register bikes for a $1 fee. A trophy will be awarded to the Hastings school building that has the most par­ ticipants (based on percentage). At 1 p.m. the Girl Scouts will conduct a Mini-Olympics for interested youngsters which involves a number of competitions. Then at 2 p.m. a parade will take place with youngsters showing off their favorite pet. Ribbons will be given to participants. The Boy Scouts will also being staging games during the day. The second day of Michigan Week focuses on the past. Tabbed "Heritage Day", local organizers have planned a special program at Charlton Historic Village and Park. The Village’s interpretive staff will be manning the buildings, ready to explain the various artifacts on hand and also to give demonstrations of the area's tur n-of-century lifestyle. In addition. Exchange Club members will be donning historical dress and helping clean-up the village's various buildings during the day. Local churches have also been asked to make meaningful remarks concerning this country's past, in particular its religious heritage. Tuesday is "Agriculture Day". In ob­ servance of it, the Farm Bureau will put up displays of Michigan farm products, the Frank Rothfuss, an Indian Hills Dr. resident, ond Councilman Franklin Camp­ bell, exchange a few points at Monday's council meeting. Rothfuss and a dozan other homeowners argued against the city's planned permanent closure of Country Club Drive. Continued on page 2 heart attack or a fire, and should egress to the hospital...be blocked all because of the permanent steel barricade on Country Club Dr., I’m sure you can see the grave con­ sequences that could result.” "To have an occurrence such as this is not as remote as having another accident on a one-way street," said Rothfuss. "It’s a little difficult for me to believe that (the council) wishes to enclose itself within the city limits with utter disregard for a populace that perhaps contributes more per capita to the economy and welfare of the city than many areas inside the city limits," said Rothfuss. Councilmember Franklin Campbell, who is also a consumers power lineman and a fireman, objected to Rothfuss' argument. “In any emergency involving power lines, we can get in and get out. As far as fire goes...we can get in and get you out. Those two excuses are lame,” said Camjtbdl. He added that there are “many" streets in the city where there is only one access road. Several residents objected to what they termed as unsightly barricades blocking the eastern end of Country Club Dr., and the amount of litter that ha^accumulated at the end of a newly created cul de sac. Dan Lake, Indian Hills Dr., invited council members to his neighborhood "to look at what I have to look at every morning,” referring to the barricades. “Are you going to close every one-way street in the city?," he asked, adding "You’ve devalued my property.” Mary Lou Gray, chairman of the council's Insurance Committee, said the city's in­ surance carrier wants to know what Hastings has done to alleviate the liability inherent in Country Club Drive. "I can assure you it is not for the ben. fit of any golfers that I voted for (the closing). It was to eliminate the hazard, and to eliminate any future claims against the city.” Country Club Dr. was the subject of a lawsuit against the city, brought by Richard Krouse, 43, formally of W. State Rd. Krouse received serious injuries after his car ran head-on into a vehicle driven by Donald Vickers, 21, Middleville, on Jan. 24, 1982. Krause sued the city and recently, through is attorney Ralph Wilbur of Hastings, received a large, but undisclosed cash set­ tlement. Krause's suit claimed Country Chib Dr. is improperly designed and maintained. The city emeted a 90 day traffic control order and closed Country Club Dr. March 28, at the recommendation of the city attorney. The attorney said he made the decision after talking with a traffic safety expert, em­ ployed by the defendant Krause as an expert witness in the suit against Hastings. The expert reportedly called Country Club Dr. “improperly engineered, unsafe for travel, vision obstructive, and of insufficient width to sustain two-say traffic." Dean, Stein, incumbents seeking commission seats by Robert J. Johnston Former Commissioner P. Richard Dean, and Planning Commission Vice-Chair Regina Stein along with several incumbent commissioners have announced that they will seek election to the county Board of Commissioners. Incumbents who are definitely running are Democrats Bernard Hammond. Paul Kiel and Rae Hoare and Republican Richard Landon. Republican Ted McKelvey said that he is still undecided about seeking re-election and Republican Carolyn Coleman was unavailable for comment. Incumbent Democrat James Gordon has already announced that he will not seek election. Stein. 37. of 504 Johnson St., Middleville, has served almost nine years on the county Planning and Zoning Commission. She also has served on the Village of Middleville Planning Commission and on the Middleville Jaycees Park Committee. She taught for three years in the Thornapple-Kellogg Schools and currently works as a substitute teacher and as a marketing representative for Transition Management Group, a human resources consulting group in Grand Rapids. She also has been active in Camp Fire and Love. Inc. She says that she is particularly interested in economic development for the county, especially in tourism, and sees a need for encouraging both more housing and more industrial development in the Middleville area. Stein also says that she favors an updated county land use plan, and sees a need for training and development programs for county employees, which she said she has background in through her employment, and developing a county government purchasing system. “Thai's something very important for the county in terms of saving dollars and to my knowledge that's not being done now.” she says. Dean. 57. of 1187 Ogimas, is a Republican who served for two years as a commissioner from Rutland and Irving Townships. Dean will face Democrat Bernard Hammond. He is a former supervisor of Rutland Township, and is a former president of the Algonquin Lake Association. He is retired Regina Stein P. Richard Dean from Republic Steel Co. Dean also serves on the county Social Services Board and has been active in developing the present remodeling plan for the Medical Care Facility. "The county needs a more positive program, five and ten year plans in terms of expenditures," he says. "We need a capital improvement program and a depreciation program, such as I helped to set up at the Medical Facility. It needs to be run like a business and I think we're getting that way.” Democrat Paul Kiel, 68, currently the chairman of the board, is seeking election to his fourth term as commissioner. He lives at 4327 Harmony Dr., Shelbyville and his district covers Orangeville, Baltimore and Hope Townships. Retired as a UAW official, Kiel has been active in organizations in the Gun Lake area, including the Lions Club and the Winter Festival. Problems he identifies this year and in lhe upcoming term are getting lhe bonding through for the Medical Care Facility project, developing more tourism and fin­ ding more funding for the Commission on Aging. "The Commission on Aging is pretty im­ portant in Barry County,” he says. "We have a lot of senior citizens and our economy isn't the greatest" He says that one of his objectives in tourism is to get the business people more interested. He will be asking lhe township boards to get involved and make financial contributions to the Tourism Council. "To me, tourism could be the biggest thing going in Barry County." he says. “It will bring in tots of money and bring jobs which we need pretty badly." Hammond, 67, of 1300 Hammond Rd., is seeking his second term as a Democrat serving Irving, Rutland and Hastings townships (except section 6). He is a former Hastings chief of police and former un­ dersheriff of Barry County. He is retired from the state government. "I would always like to see the tax base lower." he says. “Land (value) seems to be going down, but taxes keep going up.” He says that if the county uses its dollars wisely, lhe amount of services offered could con­ tinue as they are but the taxes would not have to be raised. In his two years on lhe job, he said that he has tried to become more knowledgable in lhe equalization process and in jail main­ tenance. “Il takes two years to learn (the job)," he says. "Now that I've got it partly learned, I’d like to apply some of the things I learned." Hoare. a Democrat who lives at 10944 Houvener Rd.. Delton, has been serving on the county board for seven vears.

Moy 17, 1984 Page 2 VIEWPOINT Two plead guilty Commentaries from our editorial staff and the community - in burglaries Editorial DEMOCRACY: Taken for granted Two comments made by a Norwegian journalist visiting here Monday point up how carefully Americans are watched by the world and how easily we take democracy and the freedom of speech for granted. Norwegian journalist Amt-Orv Tenfjord, 27, who is visiting here as part of a Rotary International exchange program, works for a 40,000 circulation daily newspaper. They have 40 journalists on th- staff to cover their population base of 100,000 people. Even with only 24 pages a day, the newspaper devotes an entire page of each issue to American news. He had a good understanding of America and he even knew that the Michigan House of Representatives has 110 members and the state Senate has 38 members, facts Ibut we’re sure few Michiganders could recite. He has studied the United States Constitution and was curious about how our government works. He also noted that, like the Americans, the Norwegians are granted freedom of the press in their Constitution. Before he arrived al our office. Tenfjord had attended a Hastings City Council meeting and he expressed with a bit of awe how truly democratic our government seems because citizens are allowed to get up at the council meeting and talk directly to the councilmembers In Norway, he explained, the citizens cannot speak at government meetings. They must write a letter ahead of time to their political leaders and have the leaders present their issues and viewpoints to the other members of the government bodies. "How could they express accurately the problems with a road if they had not seen it?” he asked relating to the city council’s hearing on closing Country Club Drive. "(In my country) they would not know.” He vowed to take a photograph to the leader of his county government that showed Frank Rothfuss standing at the microphone discussing the issue with Councilman Frank Campbell. “This is the way itshould be," he said. In reality, few of us do take advantage of the rights we have to let our govern­ ment representatives know how we feel about issues. We seldom attend city council, county commission and school board meetings and even more rarely attend meetings of the planning commission, library board, economic develop­ ment and township boards. Tenfjord s comments bring to mind the comments of a man running for supervisor who said last week that as soon as your are elected to the job it seems that everybody thinks you are a “no good.” A county commission member, an­ nouncing for re-election, said that it didn't appear that anybody else was willing to spend the time at the job that needed to be spent. Being a local government official is often a tedious, thankless job that pays little 'or nothing. Most of us speak out on issues only when we are against some proposed plan that hits our neighborhood or our pocketbook. It takes an outsider to remind us of how precious our rights and liberties are. Even Norway, which has a parliamentary democracy, is not as free as we are. We must constantly protect our freedoms from even the smallest intrusions. An example of how easily intrusions can crop up occured in the state legislature, last week, when hearings were being held on a bill requiring public notices of government meetings being held in private residences. After the hearings, the legislative committee changed the focus of its efforts to examine whether public meetings ought to be held in private homes at all. Testimony pointed out that private homes can be hard to find, intimidating to strangers and less adapted to public participation in government. Various committees in the legislature have been toying with ways to tinker with the Open Meetings Act, an act which has served the citizens well since 1977. We say hands off. An open government will serve the people better. Government that operates in private is not as likely to serve the people and will surely build resentment among the citizens. The only unfortunate part of our visit with the Norwegian is that it could not be shared by more people (especially some state legislators). All of us would renew our faith in the American system of open government and the right to speak out if we could spend some time with people who don’t share those freedoms.

Hastings City Police arrested Scobey in March, shortly after the alleged offense with a related minor was to have taken place, on information and belief supplied by a school counselor and Barry County Protective Services. The charge carries a sentence of up to life in prison A motion was denied by William Boyd, 48. Detroit, to amend his pre-trial statement, and adjourn his trial for breaking and en­ tering of an occupied dwelling. Boyd, who was arrested by state police Nov. 11, shortly after it is alleged he broke into a Thornapple Lake Rd. home. Barry-Eaton Circuit Court Judge Richard Shuster said he would grant Boyd's request for a trial adjournment if the defendant would sign a waiver of speedy trial, which Boyd refused. Boyd’s trial is set for May 21. He faces up to 15 years in prison on the burglary charge, and up to life imprisonment on a sup­ plemental charge of being a fourth time felony offender.

Student rights, discipline under review by Norma Acker The Hastings Board of Education is ex­ pected to adopt two policies concerning student rights and responsibilities and student discipline for kindergarten through twelfth grade at Monday night's meeting. The meeting will be held at Pleasantview Elementary School at 7:30 p.m. Superintendent Cad A. Schoessel ex­ plained that the policies cover broad guidelines following Michigan state law. Schoessel said that the in the past there has been a policy handbook only at the high school level. Dr. Earl Newman, director of educational services, has formed a committee of ad­ ministrators and faculty representatives to develop specific policies which will be recommended for adoption as the committee progresses with its work. The committee members include all school principals and faculty representatives Joyce Cooklin, Pat ’ Purgiel, Karen Miller, Daniel Ferris. John Merritt, Robert Frieswyk, Mary Windes, Linda Corrigan and Joan Kent. Newman said that there w ill be parent and student input before final recommendations are made. Schoessel said that the committee met twice and hopes to come before the board in June with a policy regarding attendence. He said that the policies regarding student rights and responsibilities and student discipline that are currently being used were LETTERS to the Editor: Courthouse ‘cross’ gives uplift Hastings Mayor William R.

Miller in turn agreed to "testify truthfully" against members of what police believe to be a major burglary ring operating in many surrounding counties, responsible for 80 or more break-ins. Sentencing is set for June 8. John Jeffrey Sytsma, 18, Crippen S.W., Wyoming, pleaded guilty to attempted larceny in a building, as part of a plea agreement with prosecutors.

To the Editor: I've intended to do this for a long time, but other correspondence always seemed to come first. Have you ever taken a real good look at the small west window in the roof area (attic. I’d guess) of the Barry County Courthouse? It first caught my attention about two years ago and I'll never *know why I found my attention drawn upward, but there is a very distinct “cross" in the center of that window. 1 believe the person who designed the window did so with a real purpose in mind. The boards dividing the window are wider than the usual divisions in a window pane. Strangely, I've never looked up at any of the other windows in any other direction to see if they are all designed alike. Write us a letter!

He added that the policies should be reviewed periodically for changes in law, among other things. “These policies deal with how things occur in the schools," Schoessel said, explaining Hie reason for faculty, parent and student input in the developmental stages. "The staff enforces the policies and discipline needs support from parents." In other business, certificates of recognition will be presented to retiring junior high teacher Doris Ockerman and Southeastern first grade teacher Wilma Scholma. Ockerman has taught in the Hastings school system for 16 years and Scholma for 22 years. The board is expected to appoint members to two advisory committees to comply with state law. A Family Life Education Advisory Committee will review topics in the area of family life and the sex education program, and an Adult Education Advisory Committee will work with the coordinator of the adult education program to identify and meet community needs.

Leesburg, Georgia 31763 Steve Main Betty Blair Question The Soviet Union caught much of the world by surprise last week by announcing that it will not participate in the 1984 Olympic games, to be held in Los Angeles this August. While some human rights groups applaud the decision, the head of the International Olympic Committee, and American athletes, called the move regrettable, and hope that the Russians will change their minds. Are you unhappy with the Soviet** decision? Steve Main, Hastings: "I don’t pay any attention to the Olympics. I'm mainly football." Betty Blair. Lake Odessa: "The reason the Russians are doing this is because we did it in 1980. It's disgusting because all those kids worked, then some Soviet official says 'we're not going’. I'd like to see them all plav. Forget the politics." Alice Bradley. Hastings: "It depends on how many countries follow the USSR. If it’s just Russia, we can get along. I think the whole thing's too bad." Varsal Fates, Delton: "I think it’s all political. The Russians are just getting back Alice Bradley Varsal Fales for what we did in 1980. There's some things that there just aren't any answers for." Jim Pyle. Hastings: "I don’t mind. Now, there are more gold medals for us. If they • the Soviet Union) want to keep their athletes from having a good time, that's their problem.'’ Jolyn Zimmerman. Hastings: "Yes (I’m unhappy about it), because the athletes were looking forward to the competition and the other countries were planning on it and now they're not coming so it’s a let down for them.” Robert Whinnrn, Hastings: "For our own athletes, yes (I'm unhappy about it). They've trained and it's not fair to them. I could care less if the Russians come. It's.bad for them." Marvin Mason, Hastings: "Yes, I'm depressed. Because then other countries start doing the same thing. Everybody's out to get each other and nobody wins.

Antique weather vanes * Verna Sunior Verna Sunior of Hastings has a green thumb with plants and a golden touch when she prepares food in the kitchen. Already she has everything from lettuce io petunias growing under florescent lights in tier basement. When the weather warms, she’ll transplant them into her garden. She even raises her own flowers for hanging baskets. "1 probably have between 300 and 400plants downstairs," she said In addition, Verna raises African violets. She used to grow them by the hundreds but now has about 50 of the lush plants. She rotates her plants by keeping some of them under florescent lights for awhile and others on display throughout the house. When it’s time for the plants to go back in the basement for a dose of light, she replaces them with plants that have been downstairs. Because of her interest in plants and gardening, it’s no surprise that Verna is an active member of the Thornapple Garden Club. She served as the club's president during the 1983-84 year and now has taken on duties as the group's civic affairs director. She's also a past junior vice president and senior vice president, holding both of those offices for two years. Bom in Canada, Verna grew up in a small town called Bruce Mines where she attended a country school. The town is located near Sault Ste. Marie. The daughter of an American citizen father, she lived in Canada until age 18 when she decided come to Michigan. Soon after. Verna attended Davenport College m Grand Rapids where she took typing and other office-skill classes. She worked at a Muir Drug Store while going to school. She landed a job at WBCH in Hastings in January of 1962 and retired as "traffic manager" of the station in November of 1980 Part of her duties at WBCH were scheduling all the commercials and making sure that they were put on the air. She also handled billing and posting. "It was interesting everyday and different everyday," said Verna of her work. While she was at the radio station, she started collecting autographs because she had the opportunity to meet a lot of wellknown personalities. Her collection includes the signatures of members of the Blue Angels flying team and Gov. William Milliken and other politicians. Verna is married to Richard Sunior, retired Hastings City Police Chief and for­ mer Barry County Commissioner. She has a son Bob Keller who resides in Hastings and two step-children. Gary Sunior who works at the Barry County Sheriffs Department and Mary Jo Morgan of Con­ necticut. There are five grandchildren. Verna has several hobbies which are evident in her home. She likes to paint and do needlepoint and macrame. She also recently took a basket weaving ciass. Collecting dolls and bird figurines are other favorite pastimes. Traveling is an activity she enjoys. She has fond memories of a visit to Newfoundland and a 100-mile backpacking excursion to a lake in Canada. "I either walk or work out on my Slim Jim everyday." she comments. Verna is a member of the Episcopal Church in Hastings and is affiliated with its Emmanuel Guild. She also belongs to the Hastings Moose.

She freezes and cans a multitude of foods she raises in her 66 by 66-fool garden. She also grows fruits that range from rasp­ berries to gooseberries. She makes all of her own pickles. “I love to cook any and everything," said Verna. “I like to make everything from scratch...and I strive to make it perfect." A cookbook collector, Verna said she is . especially fond of Julia Child’s recipes. "My very favorite foods are pasta and Mexican food. I love hot food. But I do not use recipes for that." This week, Verna shares two of her favorite dessert recipes. One is called "The Perfect Chocolate Cake" that she found in a magazine. The other is for applesauce oatmeal cookies which is included in the Congressional Club Cookbook, submitted by Mrs. George V. Hansen, wife of a U.S. Representative from Idaho. Of the cake, she says a friend describes it as "a beautiful three-layer cake that is light and melts in your mouth and has a frosting that's creamy.” Verna adds that it is easy to make because it has step-by-step directions. "It comes out perfect everytime." She likes the applesauce oatmeal cookies because they freeze beautifully. “They’re not too sweet and they taste good.” Fixing ice cream sandwiches with the cookies as a base is a special treat she makes with them. She freezes the cookies first then puts a scoop of good quality ice cream bet­ ween two cookies and pops them back into the freezer. "They're great for picnics or patio par­ ties." she says. At serving time, she puts chocolate fudge saucevover each ice cream cookie sandwich.

The Selkirk or Selkrig Reservation is. or rather was, located on section 20 and 28 in Wayland Township, Allegan County, Michigan. In 1837 and 1838, the general government granted aid to the various tribes that would establish missions to scattered bands of Indians in western Michigan. Bishop McCoskey, of the Episcopal church, who was at the head of the western diocese, sought an opportunity through this governmental aid to bestow upon some tribe the blessing of Christian civilization. Around the shores of Gun Lake was a band of Ottawas with their once proud chieftain, Sagamaw (Sagnaw), and a few Pottawattamies. These two tribes had once been the proud and undisputed owners of a large portion of the state. Gradually they had been forced back by the powerful whites. Their hunting grounds had been taken from them and were fast being transformed into beautiful farms. To tlvse once powerful tribes, which war and civilization had nearly destroyed, Rev. James Selkirk was sent in 1838 to offer them a "Mission Home". Securing the aid of Rev. Leonard Slater, an Indian missionary of the Baptist faith located on Gull Prairie, they met and held a conference with Sagamaw at his encampment The plan of the mission, its location to the westward five or six miles, an un­ disturbed home, the protecting care of the church, all were explained to the wily chieftain, but he doubted the veracity of the pale-faced brother and required more time for thought upon the matter. A second meeting was agreed upon, to be held on the banks of the beautiful sheet of water, now known as Selkirk Lake. At the appointed time. Sagamaw, with a goodly number of his braves, met Bishop McCoskey and Rev. Selkirk on the site of the proposed mission. At the close of this conference, the Indians agreed to accept the offer made to them and remove at once to the reservation. One hundred and sixty acres on section 20 was purchased from the government and 200 acres on section 28 from Lawrence Van De Walker of Kalamazoo. The deed was made to Bishop McCoskey and his successors, in trust, in order that the Indians could not dispose of it and be left without homes. The foil owing year, 1839, Rev. James Selkirk, with his family consisting of his wife and three children, James, Jeremiah, and Charles, moved to the mission — then called the "Griswold Mission". The first work was the building of a house which would serve fora church, a schoolroom, and a home for himself and family. Under the direction of Rev. Selkirk, a log house (wigwam) having a large arbor or bower house was built In this arbor, religious services were held on Sun­ days, which were well attended; not only by the Indians but by many of the early pioneers. His sermons were delivered in English and interpreted by Adoniram Judson or “Mawbere”, an educated Ottawa who was considered one of the best interpreters in the state. In the work of edication.

The bishop also sent a farmer by the name of Pollard to the mission who was to have charge of the farming interest and to teach, or rather try to teach, about 500 Ottawas and 150 Pot­ tawattamies the art of agriculture. A few years lat^r, Rev. Selkirk bought a farm r„ lining the reser­ vation and built the house now known as "Old Mission Home". It was peculiarly constructed. The outer wall consisted of hewn timbers, tenoned at both ends, which were set upright and secured to both sills and plates by entering a continuous mortise and pinned together. His parlor was furnished by the skill of his own hands, not only from necessity's sake butto teach the dignity and worth of labor. The furniture consisted of a sofa, two rockers, one comer chair, a large arnfchair, with six others (all of black walnut and very neatly upholstered), and a center table, also his work. Rev. Selkirk was well fitted for the task assigned him. Having studied medicine, he was often called outside the reservation to the sick, there being no physician within 25 miles. For 14 years, the work of the mission went forward under the fostering care of the Episcopal Church, with government aid. Among the Indians educated on the reservation and worthy of special mention wjre David Foster and his son Charles, both able ministers, whose work among others of their tribe was very successful. In 1855, the government made a new treaty with the Ottawa, Chippewa, and Pottawattamie Indians, granting to each family 40 acres and, after remaining on the land for five years, a deed was to be given to them. This land was located near Pentwater. All the Indians but about 25 families left the reservation and went to Pentwater. It took them about 15 years to get and then lose possession of the land given to them by the government. In 1870, they returned to the reservation. Designing white men saw desirable land in the reservation and told the Indians how it could be "all theirs". Taxes were not paid and a tax title deed was granted to each family. Today (1902) only seven families are left on the reservation and they upon the poorest farms. Rev. James Selkirk, the leading spirit of the reservation, who made it his home for 38 years, was held in high esteem by both the Indians and the whites, and gave the best (part) of his life inducing the Indian to conform to the useage of civilized life. He died October 5,1877, at the age of 86, and was buried in the family cemetery. His son, Jeremiah, was killed by an Indian at Crow Wing, Minn., in 1858. His youngest son, Charles, fitted himself for the Episcopal ministry. He spoke several of the Indian languages fluently, and at the early age cf 16 was interpreter for Rev. J.L. Brech, a missionary among the Ogipawa Indians in Minnesota. He died at Pentwater where he was teaching an Indian school on Nov. 19,1860, at the age of 22. The eldest son, James E., died Oct 4, 1901 at his home in Wayland and was buried in Elmwood Cemetery.

With her parents Robert and Rita l-owell in attendance. Deborah received the "Student of (he Month" award from the club. As part of (he selection process, a student must write an essay on the subject of "Youth's Destiny". Below is Deborah's thoughts nn that subject. Youth’s Destiny by Debbie lx>well America: land of the free, home of the brave. America: a place where dreams are conceived and then often attained. America: the country that has provided its people with opportunities and now looks to its youth to utilize these opportunities and carry on. In America's hands lies the fate of many­ people and the fate of America itself seems to lie in the hands of its youth. Great things are expected of the youth of America and in order for these “things" to be achieved, the youth must be instructed and readied in the anticipation of such a burden. This is where America s responsibility manifests itself. America’s responsibility to its youth and to all its people is, first and foremost, to provide opportunity. It was once said that "America owes us nothing but opportunity." When these opportunities have been provided, it then becomes the youth's responsibility to utilize these opportunities to their fullest extent. Then, and only then, will America's youth be ready to accept the responsibility for the fate of our nation. The strength of democracy is education. Since America is a democracy, then the strength of America must also be found in education. A good, strong education will be thu foundation for those that will one day be the leaders of our nation. In order for that foundation to be strong and solid, the best opportunities for learning must be provided. Once this is done, it then becomes the obligation of America's youth to take ad­ vantage of the opportunities provided and learn. The formal education being com­ pleted, all must then take the initiative to keep on learning. Learning is a lifelong process. Failure to realize this would put a stop to the growing process for, as the saying goes, in learning we grow and in growing we learn. America is constantly growing and, along with it, so must t!>e American people. During the years in which the formal educational process occurs, values and traditions that will become an invaluable source of strength are instilled in the youth of America. These values are the same values that led many men to fight and die for the freedom and the country they so strongly loved and believed in. These values give a person a sense of pride and unity These values are the values that will lead us to work for worldwide peace and relief from suffering. These values allow a person to be an in­ dividual and a leader. This country needs strong leadership and. because of the values which are a part of them. America's youth can and will provide that leadership. The values that are instilled in the youth of America are the values that will surely lead us all onward to a bright and prosperous future. A guiding force in the future of America and its oeople that cannot be overlooked comes from the guiding hand of the Lord. God is the driving force of this country. He has played a major role in the founding of and in the growth of America. God has given us the freedom to make our own decisions and the freedom to choose the course our lives will follow. But, He is there to guide us along the path of life and to show us the •Tight" way. if only we will listen. God has had a great impact on the lives of a great many people and has led America to the greatness that it now embraces. If the youth of America look to the guidance of the Lord, the fate of America will lie in truly capable and strong hands. The concerns that our youth will someday be faced with and the problems that they will be expected to resolve will 5e many and varied. They may be faced with issues such as immigration, civil or human rights, and the grave possibility of nuclear war. America has many difficulties to iron out and many questions to be answered. These dif­ ficulties. though, will present a challenge to the youth of America; a challenge with a purpose and a challenge that will be met. There are many things in the world that can be allowed to overshadow the destiny of America and its people. This does not have to be the case, though. Our destiny, our future, can be bright and full of promise if we want it to be and if we are willing to work to make it that way. As individuals, we must all work together in preparation for the future and we must all work for the good of the whole. The road to a brighter future will not be an easy one but "all" things are difficult before they are easy. Before us stretches out a vast future, in­ conceivably more influential than the past. The youth of America will be a decisive factor in determining what that future will be. With the knowledge and the skills that are obtained as youths, America will find that we, the youth of America, will succeed in the challenge that has been set before us. It is our destiny. nifty weather days sale LENNOX ’ n a'r conditioning • Motion® Long and Short Sleeve • Large Selection of Mens Sport Shirts reg. *10.00 -’)8.oo SALE *3”-’8” • Selected Parfour® Slacks SALE *12” sale*8”-’1O” • Large Selectionof Mens Poplin Jackets reg. *35.00 - *36.oo • Motion® Slacks, selected fashion colors, reg. *18.00 sale*19” sale *10” • Mens Flannel Lined Nylon Jackets reg. *13.99 - *15.99 • Womens Knee-Hi Socks spring colors reg. *2.25 Now's the time to buy quality Lennox central air conditioning.

Catalog Department The county has over 500 bodies of water. 327 of them with names and 42 of them with public access. The division uses five boats to patrol those 42 bodies of water- three large ones which are stationed at Gun Lake. Pine Lake, and Thornapple Lake, and two jump boats which are towed around to other lakes either on a continuous, rotating basis or to respond to a complaint that's called into the sheriff department. "Deputy Eldon Willard patrols on a touch and go u>sis," Smith said. "He travels around with a 14-footer, hitting various lakes during the week and is available to answer complaints. "Bob Power is mostly responsible for Gun Lake and Bill Johnson for Pine Lake,” Smith added, noting though that those two officers usually have a car and jump boat on shore so that they can quickly answer a complaint on another lake. Smith, himself, is available to patrol Thornapple Lake or to help where needed during busy times. Otherwise he handles maintenance and administration duties for the division. The four officers work staggered shifts, allowing them to patrol lakes during evening hours, as well as during the daytime. While patrolling duties are the division's main priority, it does have other respon­ sibilities. Each year officers inspect and tag boats and canoes at the 22 rental liveries in the county, as required by state law, and certify the capacity limits of the vessels and their lifesaving devices. Deputy Johnson and Smith also conduct boating safety classes. (Children over 12, who operate a boat with a motor of 6 hp or over, are required to complete a safety class and have a certificate.) Over 1000 youngsters have completed the classes this year. The two officers are planning to hold another boating laws. The divisions main objective is water safety, pointed out Sgt Gerald Smith, who heads the unit. "That's our concern.” he said. "We enforce the laws and write numerous violations." he continued. “Our objective though is prevention. The object is to save lives. But sometimes you have to gel into someone's pocket to get them to operate their boats in a safe manner." Smith said that the largest number of the 66 tickets written by his division last year was for failure to have any or enough lifesaving devices on board the boat. The law requires tliat one Coast Guard approved lifesaving device per person be on board when operating a vessel. “You’ll get a lot of situations where they have 25 people on a pontoon boat and maybe only three devices," he pointed cut. Other violations that the division handled include: failure to havea fire extinguisher on board, failure to have the registration numbers listed, excess noise (particularly on Gun Lake), speeding, careless and reckless operation, underage operation (either under 12 years of age or over 12 without having completed a boating safety course), lowing a skier without an observer, inadequate lighting, and operating under the influence of alcohol. Sheriff David Wood noted that Barry County has one of the highest amounts of boat traffic in the state. “A 1981 study done by an independent research firm, on behalf of the Dept, of Natural Resources, showed that we're fourth in the state among inland counties in the number of 'use days’ by boaters and we're eighth among all counties, which of course includes those on the Great Lakes,” he said. class early this summer at Gun Lake with CPR training probably included. In addition, the division approves and City goes after‘Small Cities’ grant for sewer The city council Monday night approved;, the director of public works to make final application for an $80,000 grant from Michigan's Small Cities Block Grant program. Michael Klovanich, director of public works, said the money would be used for the installation of a sanitary sewer between State and Green Streets, al a total estimated cost of $200,000. Klovanich said the proposed sewer line would service Pennock Hospital, and Fish Hatchery Park, plus any new developments in the southwest corner of the city. The city engineer told council tliat this year a total of $18 million in federal monies are available to Michigan for economic develpmenl, $5 million for public works projects, and $7.9 million for housing, through the block grant program. He said some, but not all of the federal money is available for "start-up grants”, or for projects only in the planning stage. Klovanich said the city had Tiled a notice of intent to apply for the grant by the May 1 deadline, and that Hastings has been notified by the state to submit a final application by Tuesday, May 15.

Marine patrol division upgraded The Barry County Sheriff Dept.'s Marine Division, responsible for patrolling the county’s 42 public lakes and enforcing boating laws during the warm weather months, recently upgraded its patrol fleet. After securing approval from the county board of commissioners, the division pur­ chased a 17-foot Hurricane boat with a 140 hp Evinrude engine, replacing a 15-footer that was 16 years old. The boat will be stationed on Gun Lake this summer. Cost of the craft, with trailer, came to $7300. Sgt. Gerald Smith, head of the division, noted that the department had been able to "get a good deal" on the boat, explaining that it retailed at around $11,000. In addition, a 14-foot Mirrocraft, with a 35 hp Mercury enginge, was purchased. The cost, including trailer, was $4100. The division also has a 1971 15-foot Thunderbird and a 1965 17-foot Maritine, which will be stationed on Pine Lake and Thomapple Lake, and a 1966 14-foot Star­ craft. The two 14-footers are used to patrol the other public lakes on a rotating, continuous basis during the week or to respond to a complaint that’s called into the sheriff department. The marine division operates on its own budget, approved first by the county com­ missioners and then by the Dept, of Natural Resources. The DNR’s jurisdiction comes about because it reimburses the county for two-thirds of the expenditures from the approved annual budget. The division this year has a $53,000 budget of which the DNR will pay around $35,000. The purchases to the two new boats fall within the $53,000 figure, along with expenses for the salaries of four officers, leasing two cars from the county (to tow the 14-foot jump boats), fuel, maintenance, and other miscellaneous items. Speaking on the purchases. Smith said, "The equipment was getting to the point where it had to be updated. Our boats were getting pretty old. Three of them still are." He noted that the division was well within the money allowed by the stale for an annual budget. “We probably could have tacked on the equipment purchases to the $53,000," he explained. “So what we’re doing is operating the division and purchasing this equipment under that figure."________ INDIANAPOLIS 1984 Council approved the posting of traffic signs at six intersections: Church and Marshall, Park nd Marshall, Colfax and Church, High and Boltwood, Center and East, and Grant and Ferris. Hastings Chief of Police Mark Steinfort said yield signs have been posted at five of the six previously unmarked intersections, in accordance with the city’s traffic control ordinance. A stop sign was placed at the corner of Grant and Ferris. The traffic ordinance gjyes the chief of police, or the city council emergency powers to control traffic, provided the remedy is officially approved by council within 90 days of the ordinance's enactment.

There were eight accidents in the county last year, including a fatal when a youngster on a jet ski got into the way of a motor boat. Two of the other accidents were persons falling overboard and being injured and two were boats that collided. Stressing the importance of safety and prevention. Smith noted that statewide 111 persons were kill in boating accidents and. of that number, only six had taken boating safety courses. Sgt. Gerald Smith, head of the Sheriff Deportment’s Marine Division, shows off the unity's new boot, a 17-foot Hurricane with a 140 hp Evinrude engine. The vessel and frailer, whirh retail for around $11,000, cost only $7300. The DNR will reimburse the county for two-thirds of that amount. It replaced a 16-year-old boat. The division has five boat* which patrol the county * 42 public lakes during the warm weather season. Council set a public hearing for May 29 at 7:45 p.m. in council chambers to discuss increasing property taxes to the adopted operating rate of 16.2 mills, in accordance with state law. Due to Act 5 of 1982, the city's base tax rate dropped to 16.1566 for 1984. However, under the act, the city has the authority to establish the nmber of mills to be levied from within its authorized millage rate. The proposed increase is expected to raise city operating revenue by .27 percent.

Page 11 Foursome may be best in league by Sieve Vedder They didn't play for the Chicago dubs and their names are not Tinkers, Evers or Chance, but make no mistake about it, these girls know their way around an infield. The famous Tinkers to Evers to Chance combination, three quarters of the im­ mortalized Cub infield of the 1920s, may have been the most popular infield ever assem­ bled on a baseball field. But their exploits were recorded on a baseball field. Instead of them, let's talk high school softball in Hastings. How does Hause to Connor to Oom to Atkinson grab you? That foursome — third ba. eman Laura Hause, shorstop Tammy Connor, second baseman Laura Oom, and first baseman Paula Atkinson — comprises one of the best infields Hastings High School has ever seen, and is probably the finest in the Twin Valley this season. With all due respect to the other parts of the Hastings softball machine, it is the squad's infield that is largely responsible for the team's outstanding 17-5 record this spring. The members of the top-flight Hastings infield are (from' left) Paula Atkinson, first baseman; Tammy Connor, shortstop; coach Judy Anderson; Laura House, third baseman; and Laura Oom, second baseman. Hastings JVs drop game, 8-4 "We had a good Inffold mayba nina years ago, but I'd say this group Is a llttla over thorn bacouso softball Is _________ battor thoso days,"___________ Even though Atkinson is batting a modest .246, the all-league basketball player has scored 19 runs and driven in 29 others. More importantly, Atkinson has only one error while being credited with 110 put outs and five assists. SPORTS Oom is hitting .329 with 19 runs and 16 rbis. Oom has only been charged with nine errors while handling the second base duties. Hastings coach Judy Anderson, in her 14th year as head coach, ranks this infield among the top Saxon foursomes ever ”We had a good infield maybe nine years ago, but I'd say this group was a little over them because softball is better these days,” says Anderson. It doesn't surprise Anderson that the four girls have developed into the league's best unit. In fact, it was almost expected. “Yes I did because they have good ball sense,” says Anderson. "It's a good groun to coach. Every year you hate to see your seniors go. you always miss them." All four girls are basically happy with their individual seasons to date. "I think I've improved my batting over last year,” says Hause. “I'm just glad I'm batting the way I am." Oom echoes the sentiments of Hause "It doesn’t really surprise me," says Oom of her .329 mark. "I worked hard before the season lifting weights.” And then there's Connor, who is satisfied with her .400-plus average, but cringes at her eight errors. "I'm not fielding as well as I’d like," Connor admits. "1 don't seem to be aggressive enough." Now that you mention it, Tinkers to Evers to Chance was an aggressive bunch, too. DNR reverses ‘muskie’ decision by Steve Vedder Marshall built an early 4-0 lead and then hung an to beat Hastings' jayvee baseball team last Thursday 8-4. Jon Christensen (3-1) was the losing pit­ cher as he surrendered 10 hits and three walks while striking out six. Hastings managed only four hits while stranding nine runners. Steve Hayes drove in two of the Saxon runs. The Saxons also split a doubleheader with Hillsdale winning the opener 10-4 but dropping the nightcap 7-3. Mike Karpinski was the winning pitcher in the opener on an eight-hitter. He struck out five and walked four. He also rapped out two singles and a double while Mark Benner hit a home run and drove in three runs. Christensen and Wayne Meade added two hits. In the nightcap, Hillsdale managed only three hits but scored seven runs on five errors and seven walks. Christensen drove in two of the Hastings runs. Hastings* Mike Karpinski show his pitching form. Saxon hardball team to host Coldwater in twinbill Nothing less than the Twin Valley baseball championship may be decided this Saturday in Hastings. The Saxon baseball team, with a 6-1 record in league play, hosts Coldwater, the Twin Valley leader at 6-0, in a doubleheader starting al noon. A sweep by Coldwater would clinch a tie for the Twin Valley title as each team with have three league games left after Saturday. Hastings coach Bernie Oom is planning on starting his two aces against the Cardinals in Senior Jack Moore i6-2) and junior George Sullivan (5-1). "Everything is on the line,” admits Oom. "The kids are looking forward to it It’s kind of neat having our destiny in our own hands on our own field." Coldwater boasts a pair of fine pitchers and a group of excellent hitters. They have all but waltzed through the Twin Valley so far this spring. Hastings will counter with Moore and Sullivan and a team of fine clutch hitters headed by second baseman Gregg Shaeffer (.345), Moore (.333) and senior catcher Joel Christensen (.300). Hastings thinclads notch 2 wins The Hastings boys track team rolled over Harper Creek 101-36 and Hillsdale 7006 on Tuesday night. "It was a Tine effort,” said Hastings coach Jim Gibson. "Both wins were due to the strong showings in the sprints, especially the 400 and 800 meter teams." Picking up firsts for Hastings in the field events were Dan Walldorf in the pole vault Mark Brown in the high jump and long jump and Bruce Hoffman in the shot put. Running event firsts were notched by Steve Maurer in the high and low hurdles, Jim Cruttenden in the 100, Dave Gaskill in the 400, Brad Bennett in the 1800, Wayne Oom in the 3200, and the 800, 400 and 1600 meter relays. Hastings Jr high boys, gals win in track The Hastings Junior High boys track team bumped off Lakeview last week 74-58 while the girls also won 78-45. Picking up first places for the boys were Mark Matthews in the long jump and low hurdles. Matt Schmader in the 220, Chris Rase in the 100, Brian Tack in the 75, Ron Simpson in the 880, Rob Longstreet in the two-mile, Mike Brown in the high jump, and Jeff Williams in the pole vault. In addition, the team’s 880 and 440-yard relays won. For the Saxon girls team the firsts were recorded by Julie D.mmers in the two-mile, Timmi Watson in the 830, Dale Lammers in the 75, Janice Nolen in the shot put. Heather Prucha in the long jump, and the 440, mile and 880 relay teams. The Gun Lake Protection Association has won out in its efforts to keep the Department of Natural Resources from using Gun Lake as a brood stock lake for muskellunge. The association and the DNR, following a series of meetings beginning last February, announced a plan satisfactory to both groups in regards to the DNR’s plans of using Gun Lake as a muskellunge rearing pond. The association was opposed to any muskie management program because it felt it would have a negative effect on the lake's perch and bluegill population. The new agreement allows for the following: — muskie shocking will temporarily cease on the lake. — the lake will be removed from the Brood Stock List, which wil reduce the size limit from 38 to 30 inches. — the spearing ban. which automatically follows DNR plans for instituting a brood stock lake — is removed. — a study designed to evaluate perch and bluegill populations will be set up between the fishermen and the DNR. — depending on the results ci that study, a decision to either reinstate some form of muskie management or discontinue muskie stocking will be reached. In addition, a self-creel or survey form census plan is presently being developed. It’s goal will be to gather information from the fishermen on their catches of perch, bluegill, muskies and walleyes. The survey will be distributed to lake association volunteers and to fiBhermen using the state park launch ramp. Along with the creel census, nets will be set up in the lake each year to sample perch population while muskie populations will be closely monitored through the spring brood stock netting. The DNR believes as muskie population declines, the population of the smaller pan fish should improve provided the muskies are responsible for the decline at those species. Brian Akers, chairman of the protection association, said his organization is satisfied with the decision, which was reached with the DNR’s fisheries ^vision.

Hastings is now 3-5 on the year. The only Hastings team to win was the doubles team of Todd HaveyCroig Smith. (Bannar photo) "I would say we're satisfied," said Akers. "Speaking for the association, we feel we’ve come to a better understanding with the DNR. “In the long run we've reached a more cooperative attitude with all fish management programs with Gun Lake. That was one of our goals.** The length of time that will be required for the creel census will depend on how fast the muskie population is reduced. Earlier this spring’s DNR brood stock netting program, it appears that Gun Lake anglers are taking the majority of the muskie after they’ve reached legal size That study showed only six muskies over 30 inches were taken in eight days of netting with 14 nets. These results indicate the muskie population will be greatly reduced within two to three years, with the evaluation being completed within three to four years. Akers said the association is looking for­ ward to working with the DNR. The association had originally ciaimed the DNR failed to make property owners aware of its intentions with Gun Lake. "Maybe we made a point this winter," said Akers of the association’s stand. "Since that time we’ve had many meetings in a cooperative vein.” 19 hits help Saxon softball team win A 16-run second inning explosion followed by another nine-run burst in the third carried the Hastings softball team to an easy 31-4 win over Pennfield on Tuesday. The win upped Hastings’ record to 17-5 overall. The team is 3-2 in the Twin Valley. Hastings play at Otsego on Friday in a pre­ qualifying game for the district tournament. The Saxons also host Coldwater in a doubleheader at noon on Saturday. Senior shortstop Tammy Connor led a 19hit barrage with three singles, two homers, seven rbis and four runs scored. Laura Hause added three singles while Sue Wallace and Stacey Owens each had two singles. Laura Oom had a single and triple, and Paula Atkinson added a single and double. Picking up singles for Hastings were Tonya Davis, Teresa barry and Carri Dunn. Dunn pitched the first three innings to pick up the win. Dunn walked two, struck out three, and allowed six hits. Connor finished up walking two, allowing one hit and striking two. Fish, mushroom seasons start General Outdoor Conditions: Lots of sunshine (with the exception of Sunday). Temperatures have been on the cool side; highs in the 50s and low 60s and lows down around 30s and 40s. These weather conditions have certainly been good for mushrooms. This is the best year for them in a long time White morels popped up all over the place this past weekend. Fishing: Pike, walleye and musky season opens today. Some of the better waters for these species are as follows: Pike - Lower Kalamazoo River, Gull Lake, Fish Lake (Barry County), Miner and Dumont lakes (Allegan County), Lake LaGrange (Cass Couity), Big Paw Paw Lake (BerrienCounty), and the lower Galine and lower Paw Paw rivers (Berrien County). Walleye - Gun Lake, Lower Kalamazoo River, Diamond Lake (Cass County), St. Joseph River below Berrien Springs, Maple Lake (Van Buren County), and Morrow Lake (Kalamazoo County). Muskies - Osterhout and Dumont lakes (Allegan County), Thomapple and Clear lakes (Barry County), Austin Lake (Kalamazoo County), and Round and Three Legged lakes in Van Buren County. Trout - Pressure is way down but the op­ portunity is definitely there. Very little rain has fallen in the district since the opener so streams are low and clear. Whisky Run in Van Buren County was good this past weekend for browns -and rainbows. Just about any of the planted streams in the district should be good now. Lake Michigan: SL Joseph - Benton Harbor - very good - fishing in 50-70 feet south of the port. Mainly chinook with more steelhead showing up all the time They are also starting to catch a lot of lake trout. Green and Silver spoons have been the preferred lure. Some steelhead success off the piers and catfish being taken all over in the river. South Haven - Limit catches of salmon - 40 to 50 feet down 20-25 feet, using red and white lures. Saugatuck - Some big chinook taken here (25 lba.+) browns are in dose and coho hitting deeper. As with SL Joseph, lots of lake trout. Boats are fishing in 30-50 feet of water down anywhere from 10 feet to the bottom. Thirty feet seems about the best. South port stammers, hobos, chargers and hot-n-tots are all good lures. Pier fishermen are taking browns on spawn and an oc­ casional crawler. Wildlife - Warblers are moving through. Biologists have seen a few fawn tracks. Please leave them and any baby animals you find alone! Geese are all over, goslings are starting to hatch. Volunteers are running pheasant surveys to get a count on the district populations. Turkeys - will not be discussed. Yours truly and just about everybody else at this office was unsuccessful.

The people there will be glad to answer your questions. You may also ask them for a copy the free pamphlet, "Your Duties as a Representative Payee." Q. I applied for SSI. and I was turned down. Since I don't think this is fair, is there anything I can do? A. You have the right to appeal any decision made about your eligibility, lor payment amount, if you are found to be eligible). There are four steps in the appeals process -- reconsideration, hearing. Appeals Council Review, and Federal court action. But, there is a time limit for requesting each one. If you like, the people in your Social Security office can help you request an appeal. to do with wildlife orphans mediately, as people who had found baby birds, baby squirrels and other victims of the oaylong gale in their yards, called to find out what to do about them. In a situation like this, people relate very strongly to animals and birds that lost their homes because of the weather. Responding as if it were humans in the same trouble, most people want to do something to help. Unfortunately, none of the passible courses of action is totally satisfying. Let’s say you find a mourning dove nest down in your yard Because the dove builds a flimsy twig nest and makes its first nest early, it’s very likely to lose the nest, eggs and-or nestlings in a high wind. So a lot of people found young doves on the ground after the wind storm. The first of several courses of action available is simply to do nothing - leave the birds where they fell. The consequence is. of course, that they will die. There’s no way they can make it in a situation like that. If the cat doesn't get them, exposure will. Many people find it unsettling or distressing to stand by and do nothing while unprotected, helpless baby animals die. The facts are, however, that less than 40 percent of all early-season dove nests are successful. Because of weather, predators and a variety of other causes, the majority of first-born doves do not sun ive. The doves down in your yard, then, are the rule rather than the ex­ ception. Because they are in your backyard, however, they are part of your personal experience rather than some wildlive biologist’s impersonal statistics. That can make dealing with the situation very dif­ ficult, especially in view of the other alter­ natives open to you. SAVE $1.00 ON 2 EIGHT-PACKS One of these is to pick up the doves, take them into your home and try to find someone qualified to care for them. One immediate consequence is that you are. by the letter of the law. engaging in a criminal act - it is illegal to capture a migratory bird like this. The people at bird sanctuaries and other places who know how to take care of or­ phaned or injured wildlife are swamped with them at this time of year and especially overwhelmed with them after that big wind storm, so they probably won't be able to lake on doves, robins, rabbits and other very common animals. They just don’t have the facilities and personnel to handle them all. If you decide to raise the doves yourself, you're again in violation of the law, unless and until you get a permit from the Depart­ ment of Natural Resources to raise them until you can return them to the wild. Chances are that the birds win die anyway. Certain animal orphans may be carrying parasites and disease organisms that pose a threat to you or your family and pe’s. And even if you manage to raise an animal, returning it to the wild without the survival training that its parents would have given it may be a death sentence. Newly released animals may not know how to find food or shelter and may not recognize predators and other dangers. And if they are socialized with humans rather than their own kind, they may not be able to take mates. If they lack fear of humans and approach people in search of food or companionship, their ac­ tions may be interpreted as an attack. In any case, the result is an animal that rarely lasts very long after it’s released. The last alternative is to kill the animal quickly and humanely. Again, you're violating state and federaly law. And you may have a hard struggle with the idea of killing a helpless baby animal, even if the creature is doomed to die anyway. Though being caught in this kind of dilemma can be distressing it can also be enlightening. Trying to apply human values to natural events and experiencing the conflicts that arise can force you to see that there might not be a totally right solution to other kinds of problems or just one absolute '77ie demand for electricity in the United States closely tracks our economic activity.

Although Saturday was cool and rainy. Sundy was beautiful and warm which lasted on through Monday. It is pretty chilly out today and quite windy with frost warnings out for tonight and tomorrow night. Fishing: Has been great on Lake Michigan. Many limit catches, mainly chinook. New Buffalo - Very good this past weekend fishing in 60’ down 30’. Things have slowed down today due to 3-4 foot waves and a stiff wind. St. Joseph - Fishing is super - charter boats taking lots of chinook and an occasional brown in 40’ of water both north and south of the piers. Also Steelhead are hitting off the pier on smelt and KO wobblers. South Haven - It is a little too rough today but this past weekend was great. Mostly kings being taken. A few perch caught off the end of piers but they are quite small - water temperatures are still pretty cold (50’s). POWER TO GROW Electric use grows at a rate ap­ proximately equal to the growth rate of the Cross National Product The two track side-by-side. One cannot grow without the other. Careful studies of that relationship since the 1973 oil embargo have demonstrated conclusively that economic activity and electric consumption are linked more closely today than ever before. As In a previous message on these pages we discussed the issue of electric energy supply in Michigan and how we must increase that supply by completing ongoing construction projects. As you have almost certainly read or seen, npt everyone agrees with us on that issue. There are those who say we need no new generating plants, that our forecasts of growth are tixi high, that we can get by for a number of years with just the generating plants we have operat­ ing today. But think a minute. If electric consumption in our state is not going to grow appreciably in the 1990s. as some sources suggest, and given the interrelationship of electric consumption and our economy, what they are really saying is that Michigan is going to stagnate economically, that our economy is going to grow barely, if ct all. in the coming decade. We simply cannot accept that proposition. We’re not predicting nor are we building for an econ­ omic boom in Michigan. We’re predicting and building for a very modest growth rate Our projec­ tion for growth parallels that of Detroit Edison, which forecasts increases of 2.6 percent per year. 26-31? F Saugatuck - Excellent! Had a boat leave at 7 this morning and was back by 9:15 with their limit of 15. Fishing has been good in 3545 feet of water down 7-15 feet. Note: Tony’s Tackle (857-4664) says to give them a call if you need lake conditions and the latest fishing report for that pert Inland fishing is still very slow. Lake Trout season opened May 1st on Lake Michigan. Hunting: The third Turkey season at Allegan opened today. The headquarters has checked in a few more birds brought in voluntarily by hunters. It seems that they are seeing birds or having no luck at al) - no middle of the road. For the people around here who have permits hunts haven’t been very successful. Only one bird so far. Other Outdoor Shorts: Mushrooms are about at the end of their peak - we could def inately use some rain, it is very dry out in the Allegan Game Area. Juneberry is in bloom now. Words for the Y’s YMCA Resident Camp - Come have a ball with us this summer! If you're looking for something new and different to do this summer for your child, then look no further, for the YMCA right here in Hastings has the answer — Camp Algonquin. We've got boating, canoeing sailing, rope course, fishing, kayaking, new games, crazy games, special events, lumberjack relays, trips to Yankee Springs, horseback riding, Held archery, rockets, BB guns, Indian lore. and those of utilities in Ontario. Ohio and othec nearby states whose forecasts range from 2.1 to 2.8 percent per year. Even the Michigan Public Service Commis­ sion staff forecast of Consumers Power’s load growth is virtually identical to ours until about the year 1993. Dr. Chauncey Starr. Vice Chairman Electric Power Research Institute with orphaned wildlife may net be agreeable, but it’s part of the wisdom to be gained by observng nature from your backdoor. This week in Michigan outdoors NSURING MICHIGAN’S FUTURE our economy grows, so grows our electric use. Stock up with holiday savings! answer to complex questions. If nothing else, it may lead you to be suspicious of easy answers proposed to deal with controversial issues. The lesson taught by experiences ENOUGH TO GO AROUND? But there are also those who say it doesn't matter ifour forecasts are more accurate than theirs, that it doesn't matter if we're right in our planning. Sure, they say, we maybe short on our own electric capacity, but that's all right, we can just buy power from those utilities that are building for the future. Perhaps. But will there be enough power available to us from others, and what will lie the price of that power? Look again at the growth forecasts for the utilities around us. those from whom we would lx* buying power. That growth is in their areas and states and provinces, not ours. We have no guarantee that those utilities will build enough new capacity to meet their own needs, let alone ours. If they do. they will sell power to others only after they have served their own people and industry, and the power they sell will lx* the most expensive power they produce. Right now we have the lowest electric rates in Michigan. If we depend upon other utilities to supply our cus­ tomers with power, that will no longer lx* the case. ENERGY DEPENDENCE? Is that the way we plan for the future in Michigan? Is that a rational course of action when one of the highest priorities of our state is to encourage industrial expan­ sion and attract new business? In the wake of the 1973 oil embargo one concept was burned into the minds of most Americans: Energy independence. No longer would we entrust our energy future to others; we would control our own destiny. At Consumers Power Company our goal for almost a century has Ix-en to provide power to our customers when they want it and need it. That’s the basis of our planning, the blueprint for our construction. By carrying through with our plans we intend to ensure that our customers hold the key to the future—a reliable electric energy supply—in their own Paid for by the liharrhalder* of ('onuumen ftiuvr ('ompany by Dave Storms swimming and tons more.

Here, Ms. Cow pours milk at Rodees to the delight of employees (from left) Fran Ruthruff, Melissa Konieczny, and Brian Coffman.

Hughes, Wood, Thaler Burdick to seek re-election by Robert J. Johnston Four of the county’s top elected officers have announced plans to seek re-election. Running for new terms will be Prosecutor Judy Hughes, Sheriff David O. Wood, Clerk Norval Thaler and Drain Commissioner Audrey Burdick. Treasirer Elsie Furrow and Register of Deeds Howard Ferris previously said that they will retire. Hughes is expected to face Hastings at­ torney Kenneth Weller in the August Republican primary. Wood will face Democrat Harold Keena in November. No other candidates have yet announced for the clerk's and drain commissioner's posts. Announced candidates for register of deeds are Sandy Schondelmayer of Mid­ dleville and Mark Haines of Hastings. Juanita Yarger of Hastings has announced her candidacy for treasurer. Hughes, 35, was appointed as prosecutor in September 1980, and was elected to a four year term in November 1980 Before coming to Barry County as chief assistant prosecutor in November 1979, she served for 34 years as an assistant prosecutor in Kalamazoo County. She said that in her term of office she has had the opportunity to make some major changes in the way that the office runs in terms of updating procedures, facilities, policies and standards. “There are still some directions that I want to go,’’ she said. Hughes said that she is currently in the process of trying to get a Continued on page 7 by Norma Acker Members of the Hastings Board of Education received a proposed 1984-85 budget of $8.5 million, Monday. The proposed $8,518,288 budget is an in­ crease of $475,646 over the 1983-84 budget of $8,043,642. The school board will hold its budget hearing on June 7 at 4 p.m. in the conference room of the administration offices. A special meeting is expected to be held on June 14 to adopt a budget. Superintentent Carl A. Schoessel cautioned that the budget is a tentative one, pending the state legislature's decision on state aid and official notification from the county allocation board concerning the eight mills allocated to the schools in the county tax levy. The board expects to hear from the county allocation board on May 29. Schoessel said that $3,694,900 is anticipated in state aid. Last year the district received $3,301,227. He explained that the anticipated increase is based on greater enrollment in the adult education program and fewer high school dropouts. Kindergarten through twelfth grade (K-12) enrollment is expected tc be down from the current school year. "We've been working on this budget since December," Schoessel said. If the anticipated state aid dollars are fewer, Schoessel said that the board would adjust the figures accordingly. State law requires that local school districts must adopt a budget by June 30, the end of the present fiscal year. Schoessel explained that often the legislature does not adopt a state aid formula until late in June. “It’s an annual dilemma of school systems," he said. The budget includes a 4.3 percent salary increase for teachers and secretaries, which is part of a wage concession agreed upon, last year, between the board and the two groups. Originally, their contracts called for a 9.5 percent increase in one year, but the employee groups agreed to spread the in­ crease across two years. Schoessel said that within the next oneand-a-half months negotiations with the district's bus drivers, custodial and main­ Battle Creek man sentenced to year An 18-year-old Battle Creek man was sentenced in Barry County District Court Thursday to one year in the jail for escape while awaiting trial. Walter D. Moore broke a window in his jail cell at about 2 a.m., May 15, in the south wing, or medium security section of the Barry County Jail, said Dan Dipert, jail administrator. Dipert said Moore attempted to break through a window, but did not actually leave the premises. Dipert said Moore pleaded guilty to a misdemeanor charge of escape while awaiting custody. “It is very thick, triple laminiated glass, and there’s no way you could break it out,” said Dipert Allan VanderLaan, Barry County assistant prosecutor, said an individual can be charged with actual escape, though he does not actually leave the jail. He said the element of the crime of escape includes an attempt to leave custody. Senior photos needed by May 22 Hastings High School seniors who would like to have their pictures in­ cluded in the special graduation issue of the Hastings Banner should turn their photos into Mrs. Horning at the high school office or The Banner office at 1962 N. Broadway, Hastings, by 4 p.m., Tuesday, May 22. Students who had their pictures taken at White's Photography do not need to turn in photos. The special graduation issue will be published May 31. Price 25* School board gets $8.5 million budget Fixed allocation being proposed The Barry County Allocation Board — which meets annually to allocate IS mills of property taxes to the school districts, the Intermediate school district, the cowty government and the township governments — is con­ sidering a proposal to fix the millage rate for a six-year period. To do so, the board must get voter approval. The allocation board will bold a meeting on the proposal Tuesday at 1:30 p.m. in the Board of Com­ missioners Room, located in the County Annex building. If approved, then the commissioners will move to put the issue on the August primary ballot The fixed allocation would be the one that’s been in effect since the late 1S6Q0— 8 mills to the school districts, 5.87 mills to the county government, 1 mill to the township governments, and .13 mill to the Intermediate school district Commissioner James Gordon, a member of the allocation board, said an advantage of a fixed allocation is that school districts, which collect summer taxes, would know how much money they could budget for at an earlier date. “Before,” he noted, “they couldn't act until June when the allocation was set” He added that Barry County is one of only 18 counties who doesn’t have a fixed millage rate. Members of the board are John Fehsenfeld, Intermediate school superintendent; Elsie Furrow, county treasurer; Gordon, board of com­ missioner finance chairman; Richard Shaw, Hastings school board member; Larry Ainsiie, appointed by the probate judge; Walter Soya, appointed as cowity-at-Jargerepresentative; Russell Stanton, Orangeville supervisor; and Donald Weaver, Delton school board member. Banner Continued on page 2 The only class proposed that may require additional part-time staff is the high school computer programming course. Existing staff members will teach all of the other proposed classes. “It is really more restructuring of the curriculum rather than addition," Schoessel said. A proposed policy on attendance was also presented to the board for action in June. Schoessel it was a general policy drafted by a faculty and administration committee to set the tone for more specific rules and regulations. The policy calls for daily student at­ tendance, determines that regular at­ tendance is a shared responsibility of the home and school and states that disciplinary action should be constructive rather than punitive. The committee's future work will detail the number of absences and types of disciplinary action to be taken at all grade levels. In ather business: — The board acknowledged the retirement of junior high science teacher Doris Ockerman and Southeastern first grade teacher Wilma Scholma; — Accepted the resignation of Dennis Palmer, junior high vocal music teacher; — Awarded the worker’s compensation and employer’s liability insurance bld to Stack Agency of Hastings; — Approved diplomas for 208 graduating high school seniors and 96 adult education graduates; — Approved the facility use agreement with Pleasantview Church for the use of Pleasantview School for six months at a rate of $85 per Sunday; — Renewed the facility use agreement with the Thornapple Valley Word of Fellowship Church for one year for the use of Algonquin School at a rate of $300 per month. The board appointed the following people to the Family Life Advisory Committee: Rev. Michael Anton, Dr. Oscar DeGoa, Hazel Meek. Ernest Strong, Rev. David Garrett, Julie Dlngerson. Sharon Duffy, Mary Sonsmith, Rev. Myron Williams, Mariam Sorby, Pat Cassell, Dr. James Atkinson. Nancy Hudson, Jack Longstreet, Scott Price, Jeff Simpson, and David Styf. The committee will review topics in the area of family life and sex education programs. Named as members of the Adult Education Advisory Committee were Mary Brown, James Coleman, Cindy DeGoa, Robert Nida, Patsy Verus, Dennis Witham, Bernard Oom, Ruth Cheney, Chris Clawson, Gordon Cole, Joan Foster, Mickey Furrow, Nancy Lepard, Patricia Lynn, Donald Miller, William McMacken, William Mallekoote and Ken Schrader. The committee will work with the coordinator of the adult education program to identify and meet community needs. Schoessel said that the members of these committees are essentially the same as those appointed in 1978, except that people moving out of the community or who could no longer serve have been replaced. The next regular meeting of the board will be held Tuesday, June 12 at 7:30 p.m. in the junior high school vocal music room. Testing assures city of safe drinking water Jacobs receives volunteer award John P. Jacobs, 40, of Hastings was among ten Michigan people who received awards from Gov. James J. Blanchard, Tuesday, for volunteer leadership. The ten awards are presented annually by the Greater Michigan Foundation during Michigan Week to people who have distinguished themselves by their out­ standing volunteer efforts on behalf of worthwhile community activities. In presenting the award, Blanchard noted that Jacobs is active in two communities. Marshall, where he works, and Hastings, where he lives. The governor said that in Hastings, he puts out a newsletter for the Barry County Department of Social Services and also supervises the delivery of food and gift baskets to the needy during the holidays. Blanchard said that as president of the Hastings Exchange Club, Jacobs has helped to organize efforts to collect toys for needy children, as well as crime prevention and child abuse prevention programs. Finally, in Marshall, the governor noted that he has been active with the chamber of commerce, working on visitors, retail and promotion committees and has received the “President’s Award". In presenting the awards in ceremonies during the luncheon meeting of the Marshall Rotary Club at Win Schuler's restaurant in Marshall. Blanchard gave credit Io volun­ teers and others for giving Michigan a brighter future. He said that through the Michigan Executive Corps, created by the Blanchard administration, leading business and in­ dustrial figures contribute their services and ideas for St per year He gave the example of Lee lacocca of Chrysler Corporation and Douglas Frazier, former United Auto tenance employees, and food service workers will begin. Copies of the proposed budget are available to the public at the central ad­ ministration office. The board also received a list of proposed curriculum changes for next fall. These changes will be reviewed by board members and acted on at the regular June meeting, Tuesday, June 12. The proposed changes are: A one semester computer programming class for students who demonstrated com­ petence in the computer literacy course at the high school level. Schoessel said that the course would be an elective, with seniors having the first opportunity to enroll At the junior high level, semester courses will be offered in computer literacy for eighth graders wishing to continue in the computer program, art II for eighth graders, physicial education II for eighth graders, a special physical education class for seventh and eighth graders whose motor skill development is at a lower level, and nine week courses in home economics and in­ dustrial arts for seventh graders. John P. Jacobs of Hastings accepts a volunteer leadership award from Gov. James J. Blanchard during Michigan Week ceremonies held in Marshall Tuasdoy. by Ken Reibel Workers drilling a new well for the City of Hastings expect to break into a layer of water-bearing sandstone late this week, but it will be several more weeks before local residents will be drinking from it. The well is being drilled at a cost of $297,000. Of that amount, $147,000, about half, is being paid for by a state monies available through theSmall Cities Grant program. The well is located on a par cel of land lying above a flood plain, across the Thornapple River and northwest of Tyden Park. The reason for the delay in part is a series of rigorous tests to be performed by the state to assure that the water, which flows about 340 feet below surface, is uncontaminated by industrial waste, leaky gas-storage tanks, landfills and other sources of pollution. Don Griner, district engineer for the Michigan Dept of Public Health, said that the well will be designated a test well in the initial phases, before the city is allowed to tap into it. He said that once the ci’y completes the drilling phase, it will pump the well for 24 to 72 hours, to generate data for the consultant to evaluate the well’s performance.

The bulk of the testing that’s done is during the actual drilling and pumping phase, when the well driller will be taking information for a "well log" on types of rock and soil en­ countered. Then the well driller does an actual pumping test, to generate the data the consultant uses, and pulls water samples to test for bacteria, and chemicals such as iron, nitrates and chloride. “That is done to decide if the waler is aesthetically acceptable, or if it will need some form of treatment," said Griner.

Page 2 VIEWPOINT: Commentaries from our editorial staff and the community- Editorial MICHIGAN: Always in season The only season Michigan doesn’t have is an off season Spring, summer, fall, winter: each distinctive; each alluring for a different set of reasons. This week as we celebrate Michigan Week, we have a chance to look around us at the splendor of our state, the accomplishments of our people, and the heritage of our communities. Michigan Week may seem like a trumped up public relations gimmick tu some people, but if we view It properly, it can be a starting point for enjoyable living in a state with plenty to offer its people. For the past three or four years. Michigan has been labeled as a deadbeat state, last in the nation for business climate, next-to-last in the nation on tax dollars returned from the federal government and first in the nation as a welfare capital. True or not. the charges have tainted our image to ourselves and to the rest of the nation and the constant haranguing about our problems almost led to a self- fulfilling prophecy of failure. Nobody would say that Michigan has not had political, economic and financial problems and continues to have a tough road to long-term health. But, Michigan has a lot to offer and the celebration of Michigan Week gives us a chance to promote our good points. Most of us who live here do so by choice and know that Michigan is a place that we enjoy living and enjoy working. Our problems are not insurmountable and the first way that we should attack our problems is by in­ stilling pride in our people. Look at our natural resources. No other state boasts shorelines on four of the Great Lakes — 3,000 miles of shoreline that range from the dunes of Lake Michigan to the cliffs of Lake Superior and the ports of Lake Huron and Lake Erie. Inland, thousands of natural freshwater lakes and rivers provide us with endless recreational opportunities. Our natural resources also include tremendous timber resources, vast agricultural lands and a big oil and gas industry. Our diversified economy is headed by the automobile and agriculture industries and includes big furniture, drag, cereal, machinery, chemical, and household products companies, to name just a few. Our communications industry includes some of the nation's best newspaper, radio and television firms in the nation. Hospitals and insurance companies in our state are among the nation's leaders. Our universities, despite being plagued by financial problems, still retain their rank at the top of the nation and our local school systems continue to produce students who excell. Michigan is overflowing with attractions for tourists, whether they want the big city restaurants and exclusive hotels of Detroit and Grand Rapids, the solitude of the northern woods or the educational opportunities of Henry Ford Museum, Greenfield Village, Gerald R. Ford Museum and even Charlton Park. Need we say more. We can be proud to live and work in Michigan. We can boast to our out-of-state relatives and friends that Michigan has attractions unequaled in the nation. We can invite them to visit our state and know that they will go away with favorable impressions. - M ichigan is always in season and we can be proud of it Vietnam monument to be dedicated Memorial Day The annual Memorial Day parade will feature stopovers at two monuments this year, as a marker in the court house lawn will be dedicated to Vietnam-era veterans. The marker was donated and initalled by the Hastings Jaycettes as a monument to all the men and women who served in the armed force of the United States during the Vietnam war. The grey granite stone measures 18inches square by 34-inches high, and features the emblems from all five branches of tlie armed forces. Local merchants pitched in by donating some of materials needed to install the stone. The Hastings City Council was expected to meet at 5 p.m. Wednesday to approve the parade permit. Warren Arnold, commander of the American Legion Post 45 in Hastings, said anyone who wishes to march in the parade should assemble on Boltwood St., in front of the city garage, at 9:jju a.m. Monday, May 28. Step off time is 10 a.m. The procession will march up State St., and stop off at the courthouse, before proceeding on to Tyden Park, where a wreath will be laid at the Civil War monument in Tyden Park. Afterwards, the parade will stop at the N. Broadway bridge to toss another wreath in the Thornapple River, then proceed west on W. State Rd. to Riverside Cemetery. There, marchers will place wreaths on the grave of the last veteran to be buried on either side of W. State Rd. The Rev. Leonard Davis of the Grace Wesleyan Church on S. Hanover St. will officiate at all the ceremonies. “We wish to extend an invitation to all the Vietnam veterans to attend the ceremony, or join us in the parade,” said Arnold. Af­ terwards, vets are invited to stop by the American Legion post for sandwiches and coffee. Arnold said anyone with questions should call him at 945-9183. Jacobs honored, continued Hastings youth to appear on telethon Workers president, helping to plan short­ term and long-term strategies for the state. "Not only do volunteers help to improve the economy, they help make life better for thousands of human bein^,” he said. Blanchard reported that a 1983 Gallup Poli said that 92 million adult Americans volunteer at least some of their time to a charitable or civic organization "Not only does volunteering help others," he said, "it’s from the heart end it’s therapeutic. It makes us feel good." Jacobs is a vice-president of J-Ad Graphics, Inc. in Hastings and has been the publisher of the Marshall Community Ad­ visor since 1969. He and his wife, Norine, are members of St. Rose Church in Hastings. Norine is serving as chair of the 1984 United Way campaign in Hastings. Hastings Mike Miller of Hastings will perform several piano selections during a Memorial Day telethon on WOOD-TV to raise funds to support the Greater Grand Rapids Arts Council. Mike, the son of Mr. and Mrs. Rod Miller and a ninth grade student at Hastings High School, is scheduled to appear on Channel 8 at2:45 p.m. Monday. He will be performing a "Sonata in E Minor" by Haydn and Preludes No. 2 and 6 by Muczynski. He was accepted for the show by being selected during an audition. Mike was seven years old when he began taking piano lessons with Freddy Kruko of Hastings who is still his teacher. Banner Send form P.S. 3579 to P.O. Box B (USPS 071-830) 1952 N. Broadway. P.O.

"There's no one in the halls," exclaimed Mayor Frank Maskey during a tour of Hastings High School. The mayor was ac­ companied by Superintendent of Schools Carl Schoesse) and Principal Robert VanderVeen. The visiting dignitaries included Mayor Maskey and his wife, Helen, New Baltimore Public Works Superintendent Harold Papaik and his wife, Geraldine, and Councilman Tom Ensign and his wife, Janet. At a dinner for the visitors, held at the Middle Villa in Middleville Monday night, the mayor commented on the similarities, and differences, between the two cities. Maskey said Hastings has more industry than New Baltimore, and commented "We’re more oriented to the bedroom community side of it, which someday we would like to change." Maskey said the main industry in New Baltimore is an American Motors Corp, plastics plant. "We’re looking for expansion there...but by and large, we are very much the same. "We are very much impressed with your parks, too." said Maskey. “You are evidently more geared toward recreation, which is something 1 would like to achieve, too." The visitors spent much of Monday on a tour of Hastings, which took them to Flexfab, Inc., Hastings Mutual, city parks, school, and downtown businesses. "We’ve had a wonderful day," said Maskey. Criminal sexual conduct trial ends in hung jury After seven hours of deliberation by a jury of six men and six women, the first degree criminal sexual conduct trial of David Philip Turnes of Hastings ended Friday in a hung jury. The Barry County Prosecutors Office said it will delay a decision on whether they will try Turnes a second time. The jury was evenly split, with six jurors reaching a verdict of guilty, and six not-guilty. One person dose to the case said the six jurors who reached a verdict of not guilty could not be convinced of the defendant’s guilt "beyond a reasonable doubt," as outlined by the judge. Michigan State Police from the Hastings team arrested Turnes, 33, Meadow Lane, in January, after a 13-year-old girl told her school counselor that Turnes had twice made sexual contact with her in incidents going back to October, 1983. Turnes was represented by attorneys John Watts and Leo Hoffman of Allegan during the five days of trial. The people were represented by Barr' County Assistant Prosecutor Allan C. VanderLaan. Barry-Eaton Circuit Court Judge Hudson E. Deming officially declared a mistrial, and continued Turnes* $5,000 bond. In other court proceedings: Scott Kelley Spillane, 19, 5354 W. Grand St., pleaded guilty to the March 23 break-in of Sign’s Tire Service on N. Jefferson St. In exchange for his guilty plea, prosecutors agreed to drop two other breaking and entering charges, when Spillane is sentenced June 1. Donald Frances Murphy, 23, 205 Pitman, Battle Creek, stood mute to two charges of breaking and entering of a building, and a supplemental habitual offender charge. Murphy is charged with the Dec. 25, 1983 and Jan. 7,1964 burglary of a dwelling house and a house trailer on Lacey Rd. Police believe that Murphy is part of a burglary ring which operated in Barry and several surrounding counties, which was reponsible for over 80 break-ins. Pre-trial for Murphy is set for June 1 at 9 a.m., and a trial date of June 11 is also set, starting at 8:30 a.m. David Douglas, Sr., 32, 1391 Oak Sr., Dowling, was sentenced to three years probation, and 60 days in the Barry County Jail, for welfare fraud by failing to inform. Noting that Douglas stole $4,460 from the Michigan Department of Social Services, Judge Deming noted "You ripped off money from poor people...You are hardly a Robin Hood, you ripped off the poor." In addition to probation and jail time, Douglas was also ordered to serve 600 hours of community service in lieu of court costs and fines. The judge further ordered that Douglas be granted work release status while serving his jail time. Area Births: ITS A GIRL Tracy Farr, Hastings, May 18,4:34 p.m., 8 lb. 8 oz.

PUBLIC OPINION dSSl Banner’s fairness questioned by reader To the Editor: When our young people in Hastings get into trouble with the law, shouldn't The Banner treat them all the same, regardless of the family’s name or the family's financial standing? Whey are there pictures and stories printed about some young people and their problems, but when others (are involved), who break the law or even when a death might be involved, we hear little or nothing about the matter? Could it be The Banner doesn’t want to embarrass the young person or their family? Let me say we all have feelings no matter what our name or how much money we have. Isn't it about time all young people having problems with the tew be treated the same by The Banner? That all the facts be known before the story be printed? It has been said we have a free press. Do we also have a fair press? Sandra Foote Hastings A safer cigarette? DonShwk ■W'CariR (olpfiMoor. Cemetery’s flowen policy criticized To the Editor: I am writing to see if you can shed some light on what is going on at Riverside Cemetery. They have so many “don’ts”‘for planting real flowers at the gravesites, and they destroy any flowers that are planted or put in the urn after two weeks. Last year was the first lime in many years we did not put any live flowers there, but my brother did put some very expensive ar­ tificial silk flowers in the urns that were weatherproof a nd cheerful and would last for a few years. Last week he went up there to check their condition and they were gone. He stopped to tell us. as he knows I take my mother (84 years) up there a couple times to visit the graves of my father, brother and her family and also to see where others she knows are buried. P always gave us a satisfaction to do something and a peaceful feeling for having gone. Now its cold, gloomy and very depressing — like the people have forgotten their loved ones — which I am sure in my heart they haven't and probably feel as I do. We wonder where this got started and we would like to go up there, but not to get depressed, and wish we hadn't allowed our loved ones to be buried there. That is the feeling now. We have "perpetual care" also. 1 hope there is a answer, and we can be happy in our hearts Thank you for anything you can shed light on. Marian McIntyre Grand Rapids Keith Krebs Richard Nevins Question A hill is currently being prepared for consideration by the U.S. Senate and House of Representatives that would create a special task force to explore the feasibility of creating a self-extinguishing cigarette. Backers of the bill say such a cigarette would save millions of dollars a year in fire damage caused by discarded or unattended butts. The compromise version of the bill has the support of the U.S. Tobacco Institute, the U.S. Fire Administration, and many con­ sumer groups. Would you like to see the government mandate a self-extinguishing cigarette? Vicky Chapel. Middleville: "Sounds good. If it will save lives, I’m for it." Vicky said f hat if people want to smoke, then "it's their choice." Leroy Hayes Robert Taylor the taxpayers a lot oi money to put those fires out every year. Caris estimates that 25 percent of all kinds of fires are caused by cigarettes. Ralph Moore. Hastings: "It seems to me that if you raise the taxes enough on cigarettes, that would discourage smoking, and it would be safer than putting a lot of extra chemicals into them." Keith Krebs. Hastings: “I don't think it will work...I think the government should stay out of it." He also added that if a self­ extinguishing cigarette were developed it might contain ingredients that would have a greater potential for causing cancer than already exists in cigarettes. Richard Nevins. Hastings: "I really don't care (if the government mandates it or not). I think it would be a good idea because there are a lot of fires caused by people smoking." I>on Sherk. Hastings: “Yes. I think so. It would sure save a lot on fires. Lots of people smoke in bed. or fall asleep on the couch with a cigarette." Sherk said (he tobacco industry would probably never produce a self­ extinguishing cigarette on its own — "Everbody has to be forced." Leroy Hayes, Hastings: "It would be a good idea but it would cost a lol of money in the long run. It would be one more thing to waste tax dollars on." Roger Caris. Hastings: “I think it would be a good idea." said the chief of the Hastings Fire Dept “A lol of fires are caused by cigarettes being discarded, or forgotten while they’re still burning." He said it costa Robert Taylor. Hastings: "It'sa good idea, but I hate to see money wasted for something like that. But, it might save lives. 1 don’t think people should smoke (in the first place)." �The Hastings Banner— Thursday, May 24, 1984, Page 3 Attend Chautauqua presentation Food Auction Hastings Jr. Beta Club travels to Greenfield Village On Friday, May 11, the Junior Beta Club of Hastings Junior High School and eight chaperones attended a recreation of a 1912 Tent Chautauqua at Greenfield Village in Dearborn. Students left by bus at 6:30 a.m. to attend the Chautauqua performance which was recognized by millions during the first quarter of the century as the week which brought the outside world to a community's doorstep by providing education, en­ tertainment, and excitement. With its roots in the Lyceum movement of the 19th Century. Chautauqua derived its named from a lake in upstate New York which was the site of a summer institute in 1874. The traveling Chautauqua set up its tents in communities across the nation from 1903 through 1932. Tent Chautauqua presented a wide variety of talent, featuring both the famous and unknown. Theodore Roosevelt, Jane Addams. William Jennings Bryan and others addressed subjects such as success in a changing world, political and social reforms, and similar topics.

The circuit also featured practical scientists Hastings BPW Club hears talk Mary Mead Fuger. director of Women's Resource Center of Grand Rapids, spoke to the Hastings BPW Club at their May 8 meeting. Her in­ teresting and informative topic was "Sexual Harassment in the Wort. Force." Five to six million women have entered the work force since 1979, which has brought to light the problems of sexual harassement, she explained. “Sexual Harassement is an unwanted sexual at­ tention pressed on an un­ willing victim by co-workers or superiors,” said Fuger. “Sexual Harassment is not a matter of sex but a matter of power. About 90 percent of the victims in sexual harassment cases are women and the balance are men." Women's Resource Center works with companys in devising policy and training programs concerning sexual harassment In other club business, the annual committee reports were read and placed on file. Three new members were introduced to the club: Mary Gilmore of Gilmore Jewelers, Jane Barlow, city treasurer and Jean Wager from the MESC Office.

Heidi is returning for her second year as an R.A. She has been assigned to the south complex of dorms mainly reserved for upperclassmen. “R.A.s have essentially three duties: educational, counseling, and ad­ ministrative." said Dr. Anand Dyal-Chand, Alma's Dean of Students. He explained that R.A.s are responsible for planning cultural, social and educational programs on their corridors. They also act as counselors and maintain close contact with students throughout the year. Finally, said Dyal-Chand, the R.A.s must be aware of fire codes, maintenance needs and school policies. "R.A.s enforce the rules and certainly one of their functions is discipline.” Heidi, a 1981 graduate of Hastings High School, is the daughter of Dr. James and Mrs. EllaireSpindler, 1935 N. Broadway.

Elizabeth Underwood A dash of humor blended with large doses of sincerity flavor the conversation of Elizabeth Underwood, a well-known Hastings resident and former teacher and counselor. Although Elizabeth formally retired from the Hastings Area School system in 1973 after 45-years of teaching in several districts, she still keeps an iron in the fire by meeting with an adult creative writing group to offer encouragement and direction to par­ ticipants. It's an unstructured situation, she says of the "class.” Elizabeth has been meeting with the group since February and she comments that "it has provided me with stimulus and a growth experience." She star’ed her teaching career in Greenville in 1928. Since then, she estimates that she’s worked with between 4,000-6,000 students. She spent 16-years leaching at Lakeview High School in Battle Creek and joined the Hastings system about 1948. Her late husband, Garth, was a principal in the iBellevue School District before teaching junior high in Hastings. She taught high school English throughout most of her career, but went into full-time counseling during the last few years of her tenure at Hastings. ‘I liked my students as persons and that influenced me to go into counseling," she said. "I cared for my students and I think they knew it" Of her last few years in teaching, she says "I found the students to be quite mature, challenging and very knowledgeable. I think they knew more than I did,” she chuckled. She also smiles when she says, "I've made my quota of mistakes. One of my biggest mistakes was assigning a theme on the weekend of the J-Hop. She says her “love" for her students can be traced back to her own childhood. "I acquired a liking for people from my childhood. 1 grew up that way...to like people. Elizabeth said she was "pampered" by her parents and three older brothers who were "grown" when she was born on the family farm in Oceana County, about seven miles from Shelby. She made her debut into the world as a tiny premature baby. "I was kept warm in a small box in the oven...while the oven door was kept open. "Some of my former students have good reason to think I was half-baked," she quipped. Elizabeth attended a rural school through ninth grade and then graduated from Shelby High School. She majored in English at Michigan State University- where she received her first degree. She started work on a master's degree at the University of Chicago, but then transferred to University of Michigan where she was awarded a master's in counseling and guidance. Although she's spent many years of her life helping students write, it's just been since her retirement that she's concentrated on putting her own creative thoughts on paper. "Writing has come on more and more since I retired. It’s been only recently that I've done much writing." Her recent writings include poetry. She also has penned some of her life's ex­ periences and some thoughts about her beliefs. "Writing helps you come to terms with yourself," said Elizabeth. Elizabeth has been an energetic member of her church and community. In the Presbyterian Church, she has served as trustee, elder, and president of the women's association. In the last few years, she has been involved in implementing a hunger program on the Presbytery and Synod levels. Elizabeth Underwood, former Hastings teacher and guidance counselor, prepares carrots for one of her favorite vegetable recipes. She also has served as president of the local Delta Kappa Gamrna, a teacher's organization. Elizabeth has participated in Barry County Republican affairs and has served as local campaign chairman for former Governor William Milliken and as the local chairman for James Gilmore’s bid for U.S. Representative. In addition, she serves on the canvassing board for the county and is a former library board member. She also is affiliated with the local branch of the American Association of University Women and the Hastings Women's Club. Concerning personal interests and hobbies, Elizabeth is quick to say that she loves the outdoors. She enjoys walking in the pines and has fond memories of many summers spent at Stony Lake. Birdwatching is another activity she finds enjoyable and she has taken a class in bird identification at the Kellogg Bird Sanctuary. "I've always been a reader,” she says, adding that much of her current reading pertains to the Held of religion. Bridge games and attending the women’s club stitchery group are activities she ennjoys occasionally. A pet cat, Katy, whom Elizabeth describes as "an extrovert and a show-off” is another source of enjoyment. “I like to cook, especially when I have guests." One of her favorite recipes is for Schnitzel which she obtained from a great-niece in Germany. "I enjoy pork and this is a good way to prepare it It's different from pork chops and it's simple: The recipe calls for pork loin, cut 1-inch thick. Butter-fly each piece. Lay it out flat (Pound before frying). Salt each piece. Dip in bread crumbs. Then dip in slightly beaten egg with a little milk. Dip again in egg. Heat oil (Crisco) until hot — a few crumbs will sizzle when it’s hot enough. Fry each side until brown. Turn heat down and cook 15-20 minutes. Elizabeth also shares two other recipes with readers this week. One is a frozen custard that is simple to make and reminds her of the homemade ice cream she used to enjoy as a child. The other recipe, from a niece in the Western part of the country, is a delicious blend of cheese and carrots in a casserole. Carrot Casserole Slice 12-large carrots in thin rounds and boil in salted water until tender but not mushey (about 20-25 minutes after bringing to boil). Slice Mt-lb. of Velveeta cheese in 4-inch slices. Sauce: Melt 4-cup margarine. Add '4-cup flour and one small onion chopped very fine, 1-teaspoon salt, '^-teaspoon black pepper, 2cups milk, ‘^-teaspoon dry mustard, and Vr teaspoon celery salt. Cook until thick — about 5-minutes. Put half of sliced carrots into buttered casserole. Cover completely with slices of cheese. Put remaining carrots over cheese layer. Pour the white sauce over the carrots. Do not stir. Sprinkle buttered crumbs over top. Bake al 350-degrees until bubbly. Frozen Custard Ingredients: >4-cup sugar, 2-eggs, 2-cups rich milk (HalfandHalf), ><-teaspoon salt, 1teaspoon vanilla. Beat eggs, sugar, and salt until light; add milk and stir. Cook in double boiler — stirring constantly until mixture thickens slightly or coals a spoon. Remove from heat; cool. Add vanilla and freeze in bays, stirring two or three limes during freezing. “Frankly, my dear, I don't give a damn!" With those words. Clark Gable closed lhe door on Vivien Leigh's "Scarlett O’Hara" and opened his own door to screen immortality. The movie "Gone With the Wind" went on to become the most popular and profitable motion picture ever filmed. So popular were Gable and Leigh as the movie’s two stars that a signed photo of the two embracing in a scene from "Gone With the Wind" sold at a New York City auction for $900. Some Hollywood autographs are worth more than others. Even Oscar winning actors and actresses have no guarantee that their signatures will be remembered and valued long after they’ve departed from the silver screen. Much of the philographic interest in movie stars results from the stars' ability to capture the imagination of America's movie-goers and give such remarkable performances that the characters will remain in viewers’ thoughts for a long, long time Gable and Leigh’s performances in "Gone With the Wind" easily come to mind, maybe Humphrey Bogart in “Casablanca", or Gary Cooper in "High Noon". These are the performances that will be remembered long after a star has retired or has passed away, and these are the stars that usually live to see their autographs become highly valued treasures in an autograph collection. Some TV and movie stars’ autographed photos sell from 50 cents, while others run into the hundreds of dollars. There seems to be more in­ terest in Hollywood star autographs than in television star signatures. These are predicted to soar in monetary value over the next decade. A noted authority says movies are the greatest form of art known to man. Collecting signatures of movie stars is a valid and important form of autograph collecting. The movies are going to be seen hundreds of years from now, and the name Marilyn Monroe will be familiar to people then, whereas the name of Franklin Pierce will be so long forgotten it will take a history professor to recognize his name. Movie stars have staying power because movies are built on dreams. They make us laugh, cry, think, react, hate, love, or hurl Who could sit through "Gone With the Wind”, "Casablanca", "Rocky", "The Ten Commandments", or “The Sound of Music" and not feel moved? Because of continued exposure via the late-night movies or Saturday matinees, a star’s popularity continues long after his death. To hear about Millard Fillmore or John Adams, one usually must read a history book — but to see Gary Cooper, Marilyn Monroe, Jean Harlow, Laurel and Hardy, John Wayne, or Abbot and Costello, one only has to flick on the television. Collecting Hollywood autographs can be fun and profitable. To start, simply write to the star in care of the television network they're appearing on (for a current television star) or write to the motion picture stuidos responsible for your favorite movie star's last picture. Usually, a letter addressed to the star, with NBC-TV, ABC-TV or CBS-TV. Hollywood, Calif., will get you the autograph of your choice. You may also write to the star in care of the Screen Actors Guild, Hollywood. If you collect autographs in hopes of monetary appreciation, I suggest choosing bonafide movie stars. Television stars just do not have the staying power of the motion picture stars. They tend to fade from view once their series is cancelled. If you collect them for fun, go ahead and have fun. If you are thinking of collecting and in­ vesting at the same time, then stick only with Hollywood’s top names. Like who? Let me put it this way. Marilyn Monroe's signed 8x10 black and white photos are selling for several hundred dollars each as are those of Rudolph Valentino, Elvis Presley, Carole Lombard, Bela Lugosi, Boris Karloff, Clark Gable, Lon Chaney, and others. Sometime during their career, they became living legends — stars who were superstars before their death. They were household names. Many other Klars, now deceased, are also nearly in the higher-priced category — Humphrey Bogart, Charles Chaplin, Errol Flynn, the Marx brothers. Laurel and Hardy, and more. If I were to start a collection, I'd choose people like Bette Davis, Kirk Douglas, James Cagney, Liz Taylor, Mickey Rooney, Anne Miller, Lana Turner, Jane Russell, Katharine Hepburn, Jimmy Stewart, Charlton Heston, James Arnesa, and others. These stars have been around for several decades and they are your living superstars of today. Remember, once they've passed away, the supply of the star’s autographs is then limited and the value of the signature will automatically increase One only has to lock at James Dean, Monroe, Harlow, Lombard and even John Wayne to realize this. Several years ago, John Wayne's signed photos were selling for $5 to $10 each. Now they are averaging $100. While authors are writing books (but not toyou), while scientists are too busy looking into microscopes to lock st their mail, or world leaders are letting their secretaries write polite notes of thanks, you can usually depend on Hollywood's glitter people to take time to send a photo. They, of all people, realize the importance of keeping the public happy. from the new JCPenney Catalog What to give a grad?

The prosecutor said that she is "proud and pleased" with the way that she and her office responded to some of the major cases in the last four years, such as an obscenity prosecution, zoning at a former X-rated drive-in movie theater, a murder-for-hire scheme and a double murder-robbery. “The obscenity case was a difficult case and a difficult issue legally,'* she said. "We stood our ground and took it all the way through. We fought the big guys and won." In improving the office, she points to modernizations that have taken place in word processing and telephone answering systems that have been more efficient and saved money. She also said that she has set up a deadline for plea bargaining to avoid needless jury costs. “I keep pretty close control over all the felonies that come through the office,” she said. "Although the (assistant prosecuting) attorneys have a great deal of discretion, they check with me on plea bargaining deals.” Hughes is one of only three women prosecutors in the state and is the only female member of the board of directors of the Prosecuting Attorneys Association of Michigan. She is also a member of the executive committee of the Barry County Republican Party and belongs to a number of professional organizations. She recently was selected as an "Outstanding Young Woman in America.” Wood, 45, has been sheriff since 1974, when he was appointed to the position, and has been employed at the cointy department for 22 years. In announcing for re-election, he points to a number of programs which he has either initiated or expanded at the department, starting with the new ja’.i. "There had not been a jail in the county since 1964 and we had no experience within the department in jail operation," he said. He added that the department has received financial assistance for developing a rehabilitation program and in jail management from the federal government. Wood also pointed to the expansion of the marine program, where he started with the department, from a two man operation with two boats to a four-man staff with five dif­ ferent patrol boats. Wood said that he considers the depart­ ment’s crime prevention program to be successful, especially in increasing awareness of drug enforcement, home security and self-protection. He and Sgt. Gerald Smith frequently give programs at schools, service clubs and organizations on crime prevention and have conducted property surveys for individuals and businesses. “We also have upgraded the posse so that it is a very functional organization within the county,” he said. Wood said that the posse supplements the department’s manpower, allows ti.^m to handle a number of activities that they couldn't handle otherwise and also helps from a public relations point of view. If elected to another term, Wood said that he would continue to work toward new and improved training for the department staff and expansion of programs available to the community, such as the crime prevention program and a soon to begin victim-witness program. He was recently appointed to the National Sheriff's Association VictimWitness Program in Michigan and will receive training • in developing programs here and with other departments. "It will be training for officers in how to better advise and deal with witnesses and victims of crime,” he said.. “They are the people that are left out. All of the money is spent on the criminal." Wood holds an associate's degree in criminal justice from Lansing Community College and has completed a number of additional training courses, including graduation from the FBI National Academy, the National Sheriffs Institute at the University of Southern California management seminars at the University erf Wisconsin. He received the Liberty Bell Award from the Barry County Bar Association for his work in law enforcement, was given the Distinguished Service to Agriculture Award from the Barry County Farm Bureau for working in rural crime prevention and was named the Outstanding Young Law En­ forcement Officer by the Hastings Jaycees.

Close to 1,600 people attended the play, which was adapted from the play "Princess and a Pea." (Bonnor photo) Well testing, continued from page 1 degreaser) — about 40 different organic compounds in all, said Griner. Griner said it is possible that natural contaminants could turn up in the water. "It is not at all uncommon for the well to be high in iron, or nitrates, or chlorides," he said. "But if an organic compound is found, then man's had his sticky fingers in there somewhere. You don’t get things like benzene in there unless there is a disposal point nearby." "If you have a good, solid, protected layer, such as clay, you shouldn’t get anything below it. We know a couple of places where the layer didn’t work. Then you have to wonder if the clay was not extensive, or if the concentration of the contaminants was so high that it worked its way through the clay," said Griner. "One of the thing: that the city is required to do when it picks a well site is to pick one where to the best of its knowledge there isn't dumping going on. In other words, you wouldn't put a well next to a landfill,” said Griner. He added that state law calls for a 2,000foot distance between a landfill or discharge point, and the well. Cities can, however, extend or reduce that distance, he said. Among the data collected in the testing phase of the well is what’s called "a cone of in­ fluence.” When the well is pumping, engineers can estimate how far away from the actual well itself the groundwater formation is being influenced. "If that influence goes out a mile, and within that mile there is a known source of con­ tamination. then the well will have to be looked at with that in mind,” said Griner. He said the cone of influence could vary from "virtually nothing”, to miles, depending on the rate of pumping, and the ground formations. Lynn Miller, of Lynn Miller Associates, the city’s well consultant, said well's "area of recharge" is at an elevation isolated from local sources of contamination, and he does not anticipate any pollution problems. Miller said the well should start producing clean, potable waler about 340 feet down, in what geologists call "upper Marshall sand­ stone." To get to the Marshall sandstone, the drillers must pass through about 70 feet of glacial drift”, then another 150 feet of "upper Michigan sandstone". The upper Michigan sandstone layer contains high levels of sulfate, gyp­ sum and limestone. It is comprised primarily of sand and gravel, and is not thick enough for good production, laid Miller. The water-bearing upper Marshall sannstone layer lies below the Michigan layer. Miller said in this part nf toe state, the layer is about 130 feet thick. Below tliat layer lies about 20 feet of shale, then about 120 feel of the "lower Marshall sandstone" for­ mation. Miller said that water is loo sally for municipal water NOTICE The Hastings Area Board of Education will hold a special meeting on Tuesday, May 29, 1984 at 4:00 p.m. in the Board Conference Room, Administrative Office, 232 W.

Hastings, Michigan 49058 “AN EQUAL OPPORTUNITY EMPLOYER" Thaler. 59. was appointed as county clerk in 1975. During his term, he said that one of the major changes he helped to make was bringing in a computer system for county bookkeeping. At the present time, he said, his office and other county offices are con­ verting to a state-of-the-art computer system that will handle such things as payroll, ac­ counting, voter registration and other key areas. "The big advantage of developing other key indexes will be quicker retrieval of in­ formation and better recordkeeping." he said. He said that with the increasing com­ plexity of county government, they have a need to generate more reports and statistical information tor better management He said more computerization might also lessen the possibility that the county will have to hire additional manpower to keep up with the workload. "Atthis point, with thecircuit court, that is taking all of the time we have," he said. Thaler was recently appointed by the county commission toserve as coordinator to deal with federal regulations requiring that the county not discriminate against the handicapped if it is to continue receiving federal revenue sharing. Thaler said that these regulations could cause problems in the courthouse because of the stairways, but the county might receive some consideration because the building is on the National Register of Historical Sites. “There is a question of whether we will have to change the structure of the building,” he said.

Frank Rotlull staled that he was not opposed to the closing of Country Club Drive but felt thot it was permanent, rather than temporary due to the steel barocade placed there.

"We are also setting up a filing system to look back and see what has been done, where it has been done, what materials we used and what it cost," she said. "Before, we just had bills in the file.” An achievement Burdick points to is recouping nearly 5300,000 in grant money from the federal government on the Gun Lake sewer project that had not been requested in the original grant, before her term began. She said that because ‘he money had never been requested, it was paid out of construction money. "We did request and receive the money even though this was after all of the grant requests had been made," she said. She said that in the next term, major projects will be getting the final En­ vironmental Protection Agency audit on the Gun Lake sewer project and completing the construction on the Guli Lake sewer. She also said that a lot of updating needs to be done on the files, which are currently being microfilmed. She said that she would also like to see the county have a set of maps of the various drains Burdick said that she would like to develop a regular drain maintenance program so that all of the work being done wouldn’t have to be done after trouble occurs on a drain.

Distribution of applications for the Sum­ mer Youth Employment and Training Program (SYETP) will start next week and continues throughout May until mid-June. Applications for the program are being delivered to area schools in Eastings, Delton. Maple Valley, Thornapple Kellogg, Lakewood and Bellevue. Youth not attending school may pick up an application at Mid Counties office in Hastings at 305 S. Church St., and the Michigan Employment Security Commission office at 575 E. Woodlawn Ave. John M. Martinoff, Executive Director of the Consortium, which is responsible for administering the grant for the PIC Council, stated, “Interested youth are urged to apply at the Social Security Office for a Social Security card, which is a mandated requirement of the program.” The Con­ sortium is currently contacting public and private non-profit agencies to determine which agencies are interested in providing supervision and meaningful work experience jobs to the participants. The SYETP Program will be divided into two programs: Career Exploration (14-15 year olds) The Career Exploration Program is scheduled to start July 2. This activity is for youth ages 14-15 years of age. The purpose of the six-week program is to provide job seeking and job survival skills instruction that is tailored to the employment needs of this age group. Other topics include Labor Market Orientation and Career Exploration in each of five occupational clusters, which reflect occupations that are in high demand. The participants will attend sessions twenty (20) hours per week, for six weeks. Work Experience (16-21 year olds) The Work Experience Program is scheduled to start June 25. This activity is designed to serve ages 15-21. Participants will receive work experience on worksites in the public and private non-profit sectors. The purpose of this program is to introduce the participant to the real world of work, to enhance future employability and to serve as a transition for youths who will be en­ tering the full time work force. Participants will work thirty (30) hours per week, five days per week, for eight weeks. Martinoff stated that these youths will be exposed to practical, meaningful work ex­ perience jobs and will learn the basics of .-punctuality, attendance, reliability and job application. Appointments to schedule youth for the purpose of determining their eligibility for the program will be announced at a later date. For additional information regarding the Summer Program, parents may call the Consortium Office in Hastings at 945-3471. OPERATION CARE again planned during holiday Stock up with holiday savings! z--------------------------------------------------------by...Esther Walton Michigan State Police will again par­ ticipate in “Operation Care”, emphasizing traffic safety this Memorial Day holiday weekend, May 26-28, according to depart­ ment director, Col. Gerald L. Hough. Hough explained that "Care" - an acronym for combined accident reduction effort - has been a campaign in this and other states for several yers, helping to hold the line on summer traffic casualties. Michigan’s participation in the "Care" effort last memorial Day weekend held traffic deaths to 13, he noted. "We will have^n additional 3361 hours for troopers to patrol the highways over this holiday,'’ Hough explained. A State Police helicopter will report traffic conditions on I75 from Detroit through the Flint and Bay City corridor. The State Police have also joined the Automobile Club of Michigan^ an eight day voluntary buckle-up program aimed at state motorists from May 24-31, Called the "All American Buckle Up" - the campaign’s theme is to double the 18 perent of motorists now using seat belts. Over the past five Memorial Day holidays in Michigan, only one of 45 persons killed in a motor vehicle was wearing a seat belt By wearing a seat belt, a minimum of 300 lives could be saved annually in Michigan, Hough said. Hough urged motorists to exert extra ef­ fort by following these guidelines: drive at reasonable speeds, ease up at night and during inclement weather; avoid following other cars too closely; give proper turn and stop signals allowing other motorists time to react safely; pass only when it’s safe to do so; if you drive, don’t drink. Let someone else do the driving; and be especially alert concerning pedestrians, bicycle and motorcycle traffic. Dec. 9,1897: Hastings as it was Ed. note: At a recent meeting of the Barry County Historical Society. Mr. John Patterson, director of Charlton Park, asked for volunteers to research life in a 1900 village. The following 1897 Banner reprint might be helpful as a starting point for this research. The Hastings of today and the little settlement of 60 years ago are truly two different places. The conditions which prevailed then have all disappeared now; the forest which was everywhere has disappeared; the little paths through the woods have given away to handsome streets and avenues; the log huts and board shantys have been replaced by beautiful homes and business blocks. The dusky denizens (Indians) of the forest are but rarely seen. The progressive citizens have the best interest of the city at heart and are bent upon doing that which is best for Hastings. Instead of being a little settlement of but a few families, we have a live enterprising city of 3500 people. Instead of business being limited to trading with the Indians, we have a city surrounded with rich agriculture lands, and in addition have manufacturing industries giving em­ ployment to thee hundred people. Instead of communicating with the outer world being made on horse back, or slow going ox-cart, we have two railroads, making splendid connections with outside points. In place of flickering tallow candles to throw uncertain light around the family circle, we have a well-equipped electric lighting plant with arc and in­ candescent systems, to illuminate our homes and turn darkness into daylight ■on our streets at night. (Ed. note: Massive electric power poles, although necessary, were not asthetically pleasing, caused dissent and culminated in a law suit; which is a subject for a different article.) Instead of one little room in a dingy log bouse in which to hold school, we now have a splendid Union school and ward schools in first and second wards. (Ed. note: Actually four buildings, there were two buildings for Union school.) Several years ago the large three story Union school building became too small to accommodate the hundreds of young men and women, and those of the lower grades, so that a (second) large new brick building was built at the cost of $7000. (Ed. note: This second building is still being used, it now houses the adult education classes and is located behind the Central School.) Ofall the counties of Michigan, Ba>-y stands among the very first in educational matters. The chief cause is that the City of Hastings has been and is providing today better facilities for the education of its young people than any other city of its size in Michigan. For the past four years, fully 85 percent of the pupils finishing eighth grade have entered the high school and next term of school. (Ed. note: Listed as part of the school’s educational system was: kindergarten, music, normal school, industrial, business and night school.) The stability of any city depends largely upon its monied institutions. In this respect, Hastings is indeed most fortunate in having two banks whose stability is well-known, and the character of whose officers and directors is to inspire confidence. Both institutions survived the (1893) panic when banks were closing their doors all around us, and are stronger and better Memorial Day PUBLIC HEARING NOTICE CORRECTION The public hearing advertised for May 29, 1984, for the Planning Com­ mission on the adoption of zoning amendments is incorrect. The correct date for the public hearing for the Planning Commis­ sion on adopting zoning amend­ ments is JUNE 4, 1984 at 7:30 p.m. in the Council Chambers, City Hall, Hastings, Michigan.

In 1890, Messer brothers and Reynolds and a few other of their friends pur­ chased Mr. Beebe's interest, and from that day the bank has grown. Hastings has one of the best roller mill plants in the state, being a hand­ some two story and basement structure and equipped with the latest improved machinery. The mill is.a very ex­ pensive one, being built in 1886 by local capital. (Ed. note: The mill processed floor.) Ed. note: What is not mentioned in this particular article, but are separate articles in the same paper, are seven manufacturing companies. Sum­ marized here, the seven factories are: The Wool Boot Manufacturing Com­ pany, which made felt boot inserts for rubber boots, The Hastings Table Company that made extension tables, Bentley and Rider, which made wooden items such as lathes, shingles, lawn hose reels and billed itself as "making finished lumber products for everything needed in a building. ” Cedarine Manufacturing Company was the successor of the Hastings Furniture Company, which also made furniture. The Engine and Iron Works made 125 different kinds of Iron plow points and next door to them was Green and King, doing business as a foundry and machine shop, making machinery and providing repair service. Finally there was mentioned a small company called the Hastings Rustic Company which made wicker furniture. Not mentioned but in town, a newly incorporated company called the In­ ternational Lock and Seal. Also not mentioned but a substantia] business in town was the Michigan Mutual Tor­ nado, Cyclone and Windstorm Com­ pany, now The Hastings Mutual In­ surance Company. (Other civic improvements men­ tioned elsewhere in the paper are: the extension of the sewer system, a new city hall under construction, the city sidewalks are now made of concrete, and a telephone exchange is In operation. We now return to the original article.) Hastings has one of the prettiest courthouse squares in the state. In the center of this beautiful plat of ground is the courthouse erected a few years ago at a cost of $47,000. In its tower is an electric clock with a dial six feet in diameter. The clock strikes every hour and tells the people the time of day or night. In the northwest comer of the courthouse square is the sheriff's residence and jail, which was erected at the same time as the courthouse, at a cost of $10,000. both jail and courthouse are of pressed brick and are handsome substantia] structures, ornaments to the city, a credit to the county, and a tribute to the good judgment of those who had the construction of the building in charge. Hastings is known as a city of refinement and culture The women outstrip the men in this improvement. The women have The Hastings Women’s Club, The Shakespeare Club, and the Hastings Literary Circle. Hastings is well represented by churches, there being the Episcopal, Presbyterian, Methodist, Catholic, Baptist, United Brethren, Adventist, and Spirtualist. May 28 SHARON VICKERY City Clerk �The Hastings Bonner— Thursday. May 24. 1984, Page 9 Hastings woman carries Olympic torch •C by Steve Vedder The feeling first began to dawn on Jeri Cole when she roiled out of bed Tuesday morning. It intensified and by early afternoon the Hastings woman was beginning to wonder if perhaps she was making a grave mistake. Later that afternoon as the Michigan State University band blared the Olympic theme and spectators jammed the route along the MSU campus, the feeling slammed Jeri full force. It finally struck her what exactly she was involved with. A corner of history. Jeri. who works at Provincial House in Hastings, was one of the select few Jjeople who recently helped carry the famed Olympic torch across the state. She was one of two Beverly Enterprises employees, owners of the Provincial House chain, selected from a possible 2,100 entrees in a contest sponsored by Beverly for its em­ ployees. Beverly Enterprises bought two segments," or one kilometer routes, from the Olympic Organizing Committee and raffled them off among its Provincial House chain Two employees would be selected by drawing from the chain to represent Beverly Enterprises in the torch-carrying ceremony. Each Provincial House sold sponsorship tickets with the Hastings house selling 1156 worth of tickets. The leading houses would send representatives off to carry the flame. Jeri, and another girl from Minnesota whom Jeri later handed the flame to in Lansing, were eventually selected. Jeri and a group of fellow employees of the Hastings Provincial House made the trek up to Lansing on Tuesday morning. Everything ran smoothly for Jeri on her one kilometer segment of the run. "It was great," said Jeri, who hadn't done much running since her days on the high school track team five years ago. “I was kind of in a daze; everything was just so un­ believable. “The Michigan State band was there playing the Olympic theme and the crowd along the route out of campus was about 20 deep, that’s when it all hit me." Originally, Provincial House had hoped to have its two employees push a resident along the route. But the Olympic committee quickly put the halt to that idea. “We were all excited. We had hoped to take a resident, but things didn’t turn out that way,” said Jeri. who transferred to Hastings Of rain, hot dogs, and curve balls Editors note: Last Saturday Hastings entertained Coldwater in a key Twin Valley baseball doublebeader. A cer­ tain member of the Fourth Estate was present at the field that afternoon. This is what he saw. Provincial House employees in Hastings were a spirited group Tuesday over the excitement that one of their fellow co-workers, Jeri Cole, would be carrying the Olympic Torch through Lansing. Here, they are ready to embark for Lansing to see her carry the torch. From left are Cindy Lumbert, Tim Ray, Administrator Joyce Weinbrecht, Kay Rowley, Ginger Heacock, Laurie Gibson and Lillian Lumbert. in January from a Provincial House in Elast Lansing. She said it was simply old-fashioned hard work that earned a representative from the Hastings Provincial House a shot at carrying the torch. "We had put forth such an effort in selling the sponsorship tickets. We thought we had a chance to be selected, but we were still happy." she said. Jeri said she'll never forget her experience of carrying the torch through the state capital. She considered it a high honor. "When I heard the music (Olympic theme) and saw the crowd, I did," she said. "I doubt if I ever do anything to match that again.” Hastings golfers finish sixth in jamboree The complete order of finishers were Hillsdale at 201, Sturgis at 206, Marshall with a 224, Coldwater with a 233, Harper Creek at 260, and Hastings and Albion with 264s. Hillsdale finished first in the four jam­ borees played this season. The conference championships were slated to be held in Albion on Wednesday, May 23. Hastings beats Lakewood in pre-district Junior lefthander Mike McLean, emerging from the shadow of teammates Jack Moore and George Sullivan, fired a three-hitter as Hastings blanked Lakewood 10-0 on Monday. at a glance by Steve Vedder SPORTS The last Twin Valley golf jamboree was held at the Coldwater Country Club with Hillsdale finishing first. Hastings and Albion shared sixth place in the meet. Linda Kowalski of Sturgis was the match medalist with a 45. Angie Weller led the Saxons golfers. Sports The game was a pre-district qualifier. The win puts Hastings into a pre-district game on Friday with Gull Lake at Johnson Field. The win sets a new school record for most victories (18) and shutouts (9). The Saxons are now 18-5 overall. McLean, the Saxon's third starter behind standouts Moore and Sullivan, raised his record to 4*1. He walked only one and struck out one in the game, which lasted only five innings because of the eight-run mercy rule. Hastings catcher Joel Christensen, hitting a hefty .293 entering the game, blasted his second and third homers of the year and drove in four runs. His 16 rbis now rank second on the team. Todd Slater chipped in two hits including a leadoff homer. Brad Tolles also co’lected two hits, raising his average to .308. Leading 5-0 heading into the bottom of the fourth, the Saxons scored five runs to salt away the win. A steady drizzle is falling and I'm beginning to regret telling my boss I'd spend my day off covering a baseball game. Besides that, guess who showed up at the game wearing his favorite pair of red coaches shorts? And guess who missed the third inning when he dashed home to put on something warmer Nobody said sportswriters were all that smart anyway. Now the game has started and Coldwater puts runners on second and third in the first inning with one out. No sweat. Jack Moore fans the next two, the last batter taking a called third strike. The Saxons don’t fare much better in their half of the first. The Coldwater lefty fans Joel Christensen and Brad Tolles in rapid succession. Christensen plods back to the bench muttering, "He’s the fastest pitcher we’ve seen, but we can hit him.” Christensen's words look like so much talk, though, as Gregg Schaeffer, one of Hastings’ better hitters at .320, bounces weakly to first to end the in­ ning. Idle thought: funny how the Tigers didn't seem to miss Sparky Anderson against Oakland. It's still raining. Geez, I hate the rain. Moore sends a high fly down the right field line in the second inning and winds up on second base with a two-bagger. Todd Slater proceeds to single him home for the first run of the game. Hastings has missed Slater, who's been cut of the lineup for a couple weeks. Now Coldwater is batting in the third and Moore is struggling. His curve, so much a part of his pitching repertoire, seems to have deserted Moore on this day. By the fifth, Moore finally seems to have that bender working and Cold­ water’s hitters are all but waving at his pitches. This Moore kid is college material if he keeps pitching like this. Moore doubles in the fifth — the guy can swing a bat as well as pitch — and scores when Jim Replogle smacks an opposite field double. Hastings is up 2-0. A quick stroll is made over to the concession stand for hot dogs. “No hot dogs," says the girl. How can a true baseball fan watch a game without eating a hot dog? I mean, I didn't expect any Labatz, but no hot dogs? Aside note to Bill Karpinski: Come on Karp, let’s get a hot dog vendor al these games. The rain continues to fall but it seems to be getting lighter out by the fifth. In the Coldwater fifth with two out, Moore walks a batter, and then a pop up that should have been smothered, promptly drops in for a hit. Whatever happened to Cesar Guiterrez anyway? How about Kevin Collins? Jake Wood? Bernie Oom, head down and hands stuffed in pockets, walks out the mound to settle his pitcher down, but Moore doesn't need any help. The next hitter whiffs at the first two pitches, bounces one foul down the first base line, and then fans. I still can't figure out what I'm doing here sitting in the rain on my day off. Aren’t the Angels on the Game-of-theWeek today? Moore is still rolling in the sixth. Coldwater manages a two-out walk but Moore fans his 12th batter of the game to get out of the inning. Meanwhile, Hastings hasn't exactly been lighting up the scoreboard. Christensen fans for the third time, Jason Sixberry fouls out with a runner in scoring position, etc. etc. Finally it's the seventh and the Cardinals are up for the last time. The Coldwater fans sUrt to come alive. A buzz begins to run through the small crowd, which has been made smaller by the rain. Wonder if we’ll see "The Wave” Coldwater-style? The first batter ground one to Rich French at shortstop. He fumbles the ball, picks it up, and throws the runner out by an eyelash. Who said anything ever comes easy? The next batter singles sharply and the Coldwater fans think they have something going. Silly fans. The next batter hits into a fo.ee play for the second out. Now Coldwater is down to its last batter and he sends an easy fly to right for the list out. Final score: Hastings 2, Coldwater 0. That ties the teams for first pifteeIn the Twin Valley and sets up the climatic second game, now only 15 minutes away. But alas, the stomach starts to grumble (man, two hot dogs with mustard and catsi^) would hit the spot) and it's time to get home for lunch.

Hastings Volume 129, No. 22, Hastings, Michigan The city's budget committee will recommend that a (57,000 shortfall in funds needed to balance the 1984-85 budget be made up with money leftover from the 1983-84 budget year, said Mayor William R. Cook. The projected figures show (1,810,314 in expenditures for the coming year, which starts July 1, 1984, and ends June 31, 1985. Projected revenues during that time are (1,731,449. The city expects to pick up an additional $21,865 by increasing the lax rate to 16 J mills, but that is not enough to balance the books at city hall. Council tentatively increased the city's tax rate Monday to 16.2 mills, the maximum allowed without a vote of the people. By law, the budget must now "sit on the table" for seven days, allowing time for public in­ spection, before council formally adopts the new rate at its June 14 meeting. The largest ticket item on the budget is $815,538 for "administrative costs", up $1M,691 over 1983-84 Of that amount, the largest increase came Michigan Avenue will be closed for two to three weeks between W. State St. and Mills St, while repairs are made on the railroad tracks. City Engineer Mike Klovanich said city crews will remove rails, grade the road surface for 75 feet each side of the rails, install curb and gutter, and apply new blacktop. Costof the project will be about 125,000. Jefferson and Mills Streets will remain open for detour traffic. Woodburner Is cause of blaze Former Hastings resident killed Robert Kimball, 34, a former Hastings resident who was living in Greenville, Ohio, was killed in a traffic accident Friday morning. The Dayton post of the Ohio Highway Patrol said that Kimball's car went left of center on State Route 49 near Phillipstirg and ran into the path of an oncoming semi-tractor. Investigating officers speculated that Kimball may have fallen asleep at the wheel. Kimball reportedly died enroute to Miami Valley Hospital following the accident which took place at 6:15 a.m. Kimball was living with his mother Eleanor Kimball in Greenville at the time of the accident. Open house set for principal Students, parents, relatives and all who have known Gerrit Klomp for the past 33 years will be able to honor the man who has served as Lake wood High School's principal for 25 years.

Contract offer rejected by Medical Facility workers Union employees at the Barry Medical Facility last Thursday rejected by a two-toone margin a three-ye ar contract offer from the local Dept, of Social Services, managers of the care center. The previous three-year contract expired on April 1, but has been extended. Talks over a new pact have been going on since late February. The vote came after the two sides had met a few days before with a state mediator and put on the table what they both called their '‘last best offers". With those postions taken, the union's bargaining committee then took the Medical Facility's offer to its mem­ bership for consideration which they, in turn, rejected. The two sides have scheduled another session with the mediator for Friday. June 8. AFSCME LOCAL 2742 (American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees) is comprised of nurses aides, kitchen workers, housekeepers, laundry workers and maintenance staff at the facility. Office staff, department super­ visors, licensed practical nurses, and registered nurses are not members of the union. Glenn Marshall, negotiator for the AF­ SCME Local, said that he felt the upcoming bargaining session would result in an agreement that his side would accept “I don't want to seem terribly optimistic." he explained, “but I feel comfortable, with the meeting that's been scheduled, that we'll emerge out of that with something that can be ratified." The union negotiator said that the per­ centage of salary increase for the first year of the new contract was a “key" difference holding up agreement. "We're a couple percentage points apart on that." Marshall said. "For the last two years of the pact, their proposal and our proposal are close." Marshall declined togive the amount of the across-the-board wage level increases being sought by his side and being offered by the facility's management. However, it's since been reported that the union was offered a three percent wage increase retroactive to April I in the first year of the contract, and an increase based on the cost of living index with a 7 percent cap for (he second and third years. Marshall also said that l he* union is pushing (or belter procedures in notifying regular bargaining unit employees of available extra working time Under the current contract. the facility must offer available lime to regular employees before it calls up its pool of parttime, non union substitute help. "There were problems with that in the past where they <facility supervisors) lorgot to call or else called and said they couldn't get ahold of the regular employee." he said. "It (does) look like we're going to ac­ complish that (goal of better notification)," he added. Marshall said that a work stoppage at the Medical Facility was not imminent at this time. "At this point I don't anticipate a work stoppage and am not encouraging one.” he said. “I do know for the past couple weeks there's been a lot of rumors about one," he added. “1 think the two sides are a lot closer than the rumors have us." Barry Smith, the attorney who is negotiating on behalf of the Dept, of Social Sen-ices, felt that the difference over wage level increases, particularly for the first year, was the major remaining obstacle to a settlement. "After meeting a number of times and completing most of the non-economic issues." he noted, "we met three times with the mediator and discussed the economic portion. At the last session they gave us their final position ion the wage level increases) which was more than the Facility felt was reasonable considering its financial position, as well as the wage levels of comparable medical facilities." Smith said that there was never a case of the two side reaching a stalemate until (possibly) the last couple meetings, adding that he would characterize the sessions as "good bargaining". "I wouldn’t even characterize the economic negotiations as being stalemated al the time we called in the mediator." he said. "Marshall and I had a sense that the two sides were so far apart on economics that, rather than allow them to become prematurely stalemated, we'd bring in a mediator to keep the lines of communication open. Smith didn't feel that the issue of notifying regular workers before contacting partlime ones was still a problem "It's fair to say that this issue of schcdul ing was a topic tha' took up a great deal of time." lie explained. ■'We’re not philosophically opposed to scheduling regular empolyees before calling up non-union ones. What was at issue was the procedures or mechanics (or advertising in hospital insurance — $51,498. Other in­ creases came in life insurance ($1,400), and hydrant rental ($1,000). Other major increases came in the police department (up $27,240) and the fire department (up $16,902), due mainly to higher insurance costs, and, in the case of the police department, a pay increase. Cook, who is a member of the budget committee, said his group simply ran out of areas to cut. "We got to the point where it was impossible to cut further, so we decided to leave it up to the council," he said. Cook said the council may not go along with making up the difference with last year's surplus funds. "In the past, we’ve used that money for line items," explained Cook, "Like a fire truck, or city im­ provements, or matching funds...Right now, the city's behind in improvements and maintenance." He said many improvements, such as tree trimming and road surfacing have already been cut back. School budget includes new teachers, principals, textbooks by Norma Acker Two and one-half teaching positions, two administrative positions and new textbooks are all part of the proposed $8.5 million Hastings school budget for the 1984-85 school year. Superintendent Carl A. Schoessel said that the proposed $73,483 increase in the salary portion of the budget will provide for new positions in counseling. English and social studies al the high school level. Another $72,500 is proposed to cover administrative salaries for a full-time principal al Southeastern Elementary School, a shared full-time assistant principal for the junior high and high school and the full-time principal position at Pleasantview Elementary School which was filled at the semester break this year. A proposed expenditure of $312,920 been earmarked for the purchase of textbooks. The figure is almost double the $156,817 spent this year in the same area. Two years ago there was no money budgeted for textbooks. Schoessel said that the money budgeted will provide for replacement of textbooks and the purchase of ne»- ones. He said that there are textbooks at the junior high level that refer to “someday when man lands on the moon.” Schoessel said that many of the books are outdated, but others are just in poor shape. The superintendent said that the increases in the budget for administration, teachers and textbooks are based on the recom­ mendations of the citizens K-12 sb|dy group. He said that the new teaching positions at the high school level were designed to bring class size down to a more managable level. Schoessel explained that the full-time principal shared between the high school and junior high will be responsible for ob- *' servation and evaluation of the instructional process and will also act as a curriculum coordinator between the high school and junior high. He said that the high school and junior high school principals do not have enough time to evaluate teacher performance and manage the building on a day to day basis. Diane Hoekstra, chairman of the school board’s finance committee, said."One of the important things i.i the development of this budget was to plan it carefully in all areas. We are trying to do things systematically." Hoekstra added that the board is taking a long-range look at building maintenance and textbooks. "Payroll figures and insurance have been the two biggest setbacks in the budget," said Couk. He added that federal and state revenue sharing has also been cut back, though city revenue has seen an increase. Mike Klovanich, director of public works, said he backs the budget committee's recommendation, even though a depletion of leftover monies may hit his department the hardest. "I guess I'd have to go along with (the mayor) on that. It’s up to the council to decide what departments to cut," he said. Klovanich said there is enough surplus money to fund a deficit this year. "“There's money to do that this year, but we'll have to look hard at the situation next year. We can’t continue finding like this into the future," he said.

Don’t be confused. It is not a tax increase and in fact nothing will change from the allocation rates of the past 20 years. The county collects 15 mills of property taxes, then redistributes them among the county government, the townships, the schools and the intermediate school districts. For the past two decades, the allocation board has met and approved the distribution of the tax money in the same manner each year. There have been occasions when the allocation board has been used as a forum to criticize the county government structure or the failure of the county to support the road commission or to fight for a greater share of tax dollars for the townships. When all is said and done, however, the allocation board finds that the present allocation — 2 mills to the school districts, 5.87 mills to the county government, 1 mill to the townships and .13 to the intermediate school district — is fair and workable. The allocation board represents all affected areas of government and has citizen representatives. The members unanimously voted to put the proposal for a fixed allocation on the ballot for the August primary election. If the proposal is ap­ proved, the board will be eliminated for the next six years. Statewide, 64 counties operate with a fixed millage allocation. There is nothing etched in stone about the proposal. If for some reason the people find need to change the allocation, the board could be formed again. Having a fixed allocation aids school districts in planning their budgets. The school districts musthave their budgets approved in time for the July 1 start of the fiscal year, but must wait for the allocation board to finish its work in May. The schools that collect summer taxes must meet public hearing deadlines within a short period of time. Approving the fixed allocation would also save the taxpayers the money spent to operate the board. The eight members receive $25 per meeting and this year the process required three meetings. The board feels that the cost is unnecessary Realistically, no unit of government is going to get more money in the allocation process unless more r.illage is approved, which is unlikely. Units of government that want greater revenue will have to go to the voters individually whether there is an allocation board or not. Setting the allocation for six years is a good idea that should be supported at the polls on August 7. City council closes Indian Hills Drive by Ken Reibel The Hastings City Counbil voted unanimously Friday night to permanently close Country Club Dr., after hearing a petition read from 27 Indian Hills Dr. residents who support the move. The petition supported the closing for the safety of drivers, golfers, pedestrians and joggers. The petitioners further noted that routing the traffic to one-way wasn’t good enough. "When the city directed one-way traffic on Country Club Dr., it was violated many times as witnessed by residents on Indian Hills Dr. So that is no answer to the problem of safety," stated the petition. Some residents of the Inchan Hills Dr. area objected to the closure at the May 14 meeting, saying that Country Club Dr. is the only means of ingress and egress to the subdivision, should Indian Hills Dr. be blocked off. However, Gordon Fuhr, chairman of the council's streets committee, said his group locked at "numerous" alternative routes to Indian Hills. He told residents that emergency vehicles could gain access over the golf course, down a private road leading to the subdivision, or across dty property off Hammond Rd. "We've also checked with other people, (the city engineer) and emergency people, and they told us they could knock down and remove the posts in five minutes," said Fuhr. Student awarded music scholarship Don Cbeeseman, an eighth grade Hastings band member, is traveling to Europe this summer with the Blue Lake Fine Arts Camp International Band. Don, who has only been playing tuba for approximately one year, is seated second chair in the band out of four tubas. "He should be commended on not only his chair placement, but also on his membership as an eighth grade member in the In­ ternational High School Band," said Joan Schroeder, junior high band director. To help him take advantage of this per­ forming opportunity, the Hastings Saxon Band Boosters awarded Don with a $150 scholarship.

"Since there has been an agreement on this division over the years, we could save the taxpayers several hundred dollars an­ nually be having a fixed millage allocation and not meeting." he said. "This body could always be called back into being if there's a significant change in government (finan­ cing)." James Gordon, finance chairman for the board of commissioners and an allocation board member, echoed that sentiment. "Over the years, with the different representatives who've sat on this board on behalf of the different (governmental) groups, ultimately this is the allocation Coleman, McKelvey to seek re-election to board Carolyn Coleman of Hastings, former chairman of the Barry County Board of Commissioners, and Theodore McKelvey of Maple Grove Township, a first term com­ missioner, have announced that they will seek re-election to their posts. Coleman. 56, of 109 W. State Rd., has served on the board for eight years, 1973-78 and 1983-84. She did not seek election while working on a master’s degree in management. "I'm interested in the management issues of county government," she said, "especially in the areas of personnel and finance.” Coleman heads the commission's personnel committee. She also said that she is concerned that the board of commissioners has enough time to consider policy on a more long-range basis. "While things have improved in the last year, there remains a great deal to be done in policy formulation on a long-range basis," she said. Also of particular interest to her during her term has been serving on the City-County Joint Economic Development Commission, where she said she is "plea -ed that (it) has developed as well as it did." She noted that the industry retention program is working well and industry peofie are beginning to contact the executive director for help with problems. McKelvey, 54. of 5050 Maple Grove Rd. is The city installed five posts blocking Country Club Dr., after council voted March 26 to close the road under a 90-day traffic control order. The closure was made upon the recommendation of City Attorney Richard Shaw, following the settlement of a lawsuit against the city arising from a January, 1962 accident which seriously in­ jured two Barry County men. The amount of the settlement has not been disclosed, but is reportedly close to $300,000. “In view of these numerous access areas, and that the posts can be removed in five minutes...the street committee reaffirms its action in dosing Country Chib Dr. with the present barricades," said Fuhr. The council tabled a hearing on the matter at its May 14 meeting, after hearing residents opposed to the closure Those in support of dosure objected to the estimated $500,000 cost of improving the road, calling it “an excessive cost to tax­ payers for the convenience of a small number of residents. Country Club Dr. would need to be rebuilt because it is now im­ properly engineered, unsafe for travel, vis on obstructive, and of insufficient width to sustain two-way traffic." "We as a city do not have the money to make it a safe street," said Fuhr. "Wedonot have an alternative at this point in time." "1 don't know if it matters if its $500,000 or $100,000. The dty doesn't have that money,” said Dave Jasperse, mayor pro-tern. An unidentified resident at Monday night’s meeting suggested that the city install a "no outlet" sign at the corner of Indian Hills Dr. and N. Broadway, to warn motorists that there is no. longer a passage through the neighborhood to W. State Rd. Council reacted favorably to that suggestion. Banner The 1984 Barry County Allocation Board has requested that a proposal be put on the August primary ballot, asking county voters to approve a fixed millage allocation The proposal would allow the current division of 15 mills — allocated by law to the county government, the township govern­ ments. the school districts, and the in­ termediate school district — to be fixed at that level (or the next six years. The 15-mill split — which has been the same for the past 20 some years — gives the school districts 8 mills, the county government 5.87 mills, the township governments 1 mil!, and the in­ termediate school district .13 mill. The eight members of the allocation board, who represent those various governmental entities, all voted for the ballot proposal. In discussion on the motion, John Fehsenfeid, superintendent of the in­ termediate district and chairman of the completing his first term on the county board after serving for nine years as supervisor of Maple Grove Township. He has also served on the township board of review, the county ASCS Committee and the township ASCS Committee and has been involved in several farm organizations. McKelvey farms 1,200 acres, raising beef and cash crops. "One of the things I said before I went on (the commission),” McKelvey said, "was that we need cooperation among the board members. The last board was always bickering. We’ve had some trying times, but we always worked together." McKelvey said that the board has some difficult decisions to make during this year and the next term, particularly in the transportation system’s funding requirements and funding the Medical Facility’s expansion program. "We just got through buying a computer and I think that will be all right,” he con­ tinued, but one of the problems with finances is that people are asking for more a.id more and more." He said that the county had to add some staff positions to several departments, so for next year the budget looks to be very tight. "Charlton Park and a lot of other things could use a lot more moneys McKelvey said. "I don’t think people want additional millage." 96 students graduate in adult ed ceremonies Ninety-six adults received their high school diplomas in graduation ceremonies held Friday night in the Hastings High School gymnasium. Diane L. Hoekstra, vice president of the Hastings Area Board of Education, presented the diplomas, in a ceremony presided over by Dr. Earl Newman, director of educational services. Betty Heidt, Adult Education Community Services Coordinator, presented the graduates, and Carl Schoessel, Postings Area Schools superintendent, delivered the address. Sara Kenyon, a counselor from Kellogg Community College, presented scholarships to the following graduates: Cecilene Barrus, Tammy George, Cynthia Kelley, Patricia Lightcap, Twyla Oaks, Dawn Roush, Tamra Sample, Michele Vickery and Judy Wymer. Special awards went to Debra Strouse for perfect attendance, and to Helen Kaiser and Twyla Oaks, the two oldest graduates. This year. Adult Education had four youngest graduates: Jon Creek, Brandy Faught, David Willcut and Terri Zalewski. This year, as in the past seven years, Hastings Adult Education was a family affair. Graduate Nancy Billings is the daughter-in-law of .Mary Billings, Adult Ed secretary; Graduates Clyde Blauvelt and Jay Bourdo are cousins; Graduate Leonard Burandt is the son of Marie DeWitt; Adult Ed secretary; Graduate Helen Keeler is the mother of Graduates Loretta and Terry Keeler; Tammy George is the daughter of LaRita George; Adult Ed Secretary; Graduates Reatha Holtrust and Steve Holtrust are sister and brother-in-law; Judith and Debra Strouse are mother and daughter; Steve and Lorene Walters are husband and wife, and Robert and Joyce Wood are husband and wife. Mary Billings. LaRita George and Marie DeWitt wre hostesses of the reception that followed the graduation in the Hastings High School cafeteria. Leo Hine, a 1983 Adult Ed graduate, sang a song during the ceremony. Dr. Eugene Curtiss, minister and instructor, started and ended the program in a word of prayer. Photographs of the graduation before July 1. are also a consideration in support of a fixed allocation. "The time frame in which they (the school districts) must publish notices of the hearing, hold the hearing and then set a budget is much more compressed now," he explained. "They have to do all this before July 1. but can not take action until we act. This body is a hurdle to that process. By having a fixed allocation, it would speed up that process by two-to-three weeks." Jury finds Detroit man guilty of breaking into local home A jury found a 49-year-old Detroit man guilty of breaking and entering, and of being a fourth-time offender, following a three-day trial in Barry County Circuit Court last week. The jury deliberated three hours before finding William Boyd, 3046 Annabelle, guilty of the the Nov. 3 break-in of a Thomapple Lake Rd. home. He faces up to 15 years on that charge. The jury returned a second verdict, after only >4 hour of deliberation, on a sup­ plemental charge of being an habitual of­ fender. Under Michigan law, that charge carries up to life in prison. According to court records, Boyd has three previous felony convictions dating back to 1976. He was convicted on Feb. 12 of that year in Scott County, Mo., of felonious assault. On August 15, 1979, he was convicted in Sedgwick County, Kan., of robbery, and on Nov. 12,1982, in Seward County, Neb., of first degree arson. At the defendant’s insistance, Boyd represented himself during the three days of trial, with assistance from Hastings At­ torney James Fisher. The people were represented by Barry County Assistant Prosecutor Dale Crowley. Sentencing for Boyd is scheduled for June Wyoming, was sentenced to tnree yeaib probation for attempted larceny in a building State police from the Wayland Post arrested Sytsma for the Jan. 25. 1983 breakin of a garage on Gun Lake Road. In addition to probation, Barry-Eaton Circuit Court Judge Richard Shuster assessed Sytsma $500 in fines and costs, and ordered him to participate in a substance abuse program and to maintain full em­ ployment. Jeffrey Wilson. 22, 1111 S. Orchard St, pleaded guilty to attempted delivery of a controlled substance, a felony punishable by up to two years in prison. In exchange for his plea, prosecutors agreed to drop a charge of delivery­ manufacture of a controlled substance, a four-year felony. Wilson told the court he was arrested by Hastings City Police April 19, in Tyden Park while in possession of a quantity of marijuana which he said he intended tu sell. Sentencing for Wilson is set for June 8. Judge Shuster increased Wilson’s bond from $1,000 to $2,500.

I sympathize with your disappointment and dismay in finding your artificial flowers removed from your loved otie’s grave. Had you contacted the sexton (Mr, Smith) and assured him your artificial flowers would withstand our Michigan weather, arrangements would have been made. Mr. Smith is a very accommodating fellow! Have you ever visited,a cemetery *where the gravesites were littered with dead, potted plants and withered, forlorn flowers? It’s a very pathetic scene. Riverside is a beautiful cemetery, well kept up. with the greening of the grass a sight to behold. The "don’ls" are for "all” gravesites to be neat and Udy!

"With this proposal, we're (also) acknowledging that historically all forms of government (receiving the allocation) have been able to function with this split.” Gordon added. Larry Ainslie, also an allocation board member, noted that recent laws which allow schools to collect summer taxes, but only after holding “Truth in Taxation" hearings Michigan Week applauded To the Editor: 1 am very pleased with the worthwhile activities occurring in Hastings during Michigan Week and especially to have "Mayor Exchange Day" reinstated.

Gibson Hastings Question The Detroit Tigers are off to the best start __________ ................................... ...........has .. been in the history of baseball. The team getting solid pitching, key'hitting anduutstanding defense. Despite that, however, the team was swept last weekend in Seattle. Is that a harbinger of things to come for Detroit, or are the Tigers for real? Can they keep this torrid pace and win the pennant? Charles Kendall. Hastings: “The Tigers are a very good team, a very good ball club. They have two good pitchers, a good bullpen. But the thing that bothers me about the Tigers is that they haven't had to deal with injuries. When that happens. Toronto will sneak up on them." Butch Ketola. Hastings: "I think they will goal! the way. It will be tight, they won't get it for free I think that losing those three was good for them, it will tighten them up. They'll have competition all the way." Steve Baldwin. Hastings: "Since I've been following baseball, the Tigers have never been hotter. I hope they win the pennant this year. I don't think one injury this year will hurt them. Two or three injuries would hurl them, but not one guy." Tom Drewel, Freeport: “I think they will make the playoffs, but they won’t go all the way. 1 don't think their pitching will hold up all season. They only have a few good starting pitchers - not enough to sustain the club all season." Chet Arehart. Hastings: "They've got a good chance (towin the pennant), but that's a long ways off They blundered through last night s (Monday's) game....but I've reallyenjoyed watching the Tigers this year.” Charles Cox. Middleville: "I think they've got a good chance to win...I've been telling everybody that they'd heller get their World Series seats early...I'd like to see the Tigers beat the Cubs like they did in 1935 when they went on to win the World Series." Arthur Prlgge. Hustings: "1 think so. I hope so and I'm praying for them,” he said regarding the Tigers chances of winning the pennant. "If they play 500-ball from now on it ‘ would be good." George Keeler. Middle lu»kr: "I think they'll win you bet' I hope so anyway.” �The Hastings Banner— Thursday.

Camping to rise in state Michigan's state park and private campground operators expect a strong summer camping season this year, up as much as five percent over last year, reports the Automobile Club of Michigan. "State parks are keeping campsite fees at last year's level and private cam­ pgrounds have raised their average price per campsite only 44 cents,” stated James Drury, Auto Club Travel Operations manager. "Michigan Department of Natural Resource officials report that confirmed state park reservations already are up 16 percent over a year ago," he added. The average cost for a campsite with electricity at the 371 private parks listed on the Auto Club’s 1984 Private Campground Guide is $7.89. with prices ranging from $17.50 to >’.50. State park campers will pay $7 nightly fur a site with electricity. Other state park fees — $4 for a rustic site. $3 for an advanced reservation and the $2 daily or $10 annual park entry permit — also are unchanged from last year. Rustic site fees at Michigan's state forest campgrounds remain $1 to $4, with fees at the National Forest Campgrounds generally ranging from $3 to $5. An Auto Club survey of private campground operators shows 58 percent said they had an increase in business last year. 18 per­ cent had a decrease and 13 percent had the same business as the previous year. State park officials said the 1983 camping season generally was equal to the 1962 season. Campgrounds listed on the Auto Club guide range in size from 25 to 600 sites, and 72 percent offer swimming in a lake or a pool. There are more than 63,000 campsites in Michigan, including 32,235 pi ivate, 13,971 state park, 3.100 state forest, 2,405 federal and 11,174 county, township and city sites.

The cheese made all who ate it sick, some being in dangerous condition. We are pleased to learn that all, about 60. being poisoned have recovered." And this under local news: "To their credit be it said that the saloon keepers of this city strictly complied with the law on Decoration Day. There was no liquor sold and consequently no drunkeness." (One of the big issues in town at this time was the constant battle between the saloon keepers and the temperance league. Part of the contention was the saloons did not adhere to the law about closing on holidays and Sunday.) Memorial Day originated during the Civil War when some southern women chose May 30 to decorate soldiers' graves. The women honored the dead of both the Union and Confederate armies. It is believed that a Virginia woman, Cassondra Oliber Mancure, was largely responsible. Of French origin, she may have chosen- May 30 because in France this date was ‘The Day of Ashes". This French memorial day commemorated the return of Napoleon Bonaparte's remains to France irom St. Helena. Early in 1868, Major General John A. Logan named May 30 as a special day for honoring the graves of Union soldiers Logan served as .comma nderin-chief of the Grand Army of the Republic (G.A.R.), an organization of the Union veterans of the Civil War. New York in 1876 became the first state to recognize Memorial Day and other northern states soon followed suit. Memorial Day now also honors all those who died in the service of their country. There were over 1,200 Barry County Civil War veterans and on Memorial Day 1884, preparations were mentioned in the May 23 issue of The Banner.

Moy 31, 1984, Page 10 what's cookin -^ntinuei Aud’s Antics by Elaine Gilbert From Orphan Annie to Cracker Jacks This week featuring. Reva Aukerman When Reva Aukerman was growing up, her parents owned a restaurant in the Otsego area but she says she didn’t learn to cook until she was married. Waiting on tables was what she enjoyed doing to help out at the family restaurant. Since then, she’s more than mastered the artof cooking and has probably cooked more large meals than the average woman. In fact, she thinks it’s easier to cook for a crowd than .c prepare a small meal. Living on a dairy farm and cooking for hired help plus her own family of seven became a natural way of life, Reva explains. Reva and her husband, Don who serves on the Delton-Kellogg Board of Education, have lived at their Hickory Shores Farm on Parker Rd. since 1965. They have five children: Rob who lives in a separate house on the farm with his wife, Betty, and sons Jason and Adar.); Rottaey of Richland who also works on the family farm; Shelly who is married to Paul Hughes and live* in the Pine Lake area; Kyle, a junior at Delton Kellogg High School; and Nellie a freshman at DKHS. “It seems like we always had somebody extra for dinner. We always fed our hired help." Feeding a big crew was quite com­ monplace at the Aukerman farm before their children where old enough to boost the available manpower. Reva recalls one summer when there were usually 12-14 hungry mouths to feed at mealtime. “Then there was a time when there would be 11 or 12 everyday for quite a few meals." There’s really no secret to cooking for a Jarg' group, she says, “It's just a matter of learning to be yourself and be hospitable. "When you’re used to cooking large amounts there’s always extra. It doesn’t bother me. It bothered me more when I had to cut-down (on the amount of food when there weren't as many to feed). An aunt taught Reva to can and make jam but she’s self-taught in other forms of cooking and isn't afraid to improvise. “I just experimented (with cooking) and from experience I learned and the next time I had a better idea on how to do it." One of the biggest joys of cooking, she says, are the "times when everything on the table came from things we've grown and raised...potatoes, vegetables, meat and even the milk. That's one of the neatest things. It’s a nice feeling." Besides cooking, Reva contributes to the operation of the farm in many other way*. “I can milk, but I don’t do that as much now. In the summer, I run the baler and I rake hay." She also keeps the farm books and write* the checks in addition to keeping house. Farm life was a brand new experience for Reva when she married Don who started farming right after high school. A native of Plainwell, Reva graduated from Plainwell High School in 1956 and worked at the family restaurant (the former Mill and Mol’s) before she and Don were married. For about 18-months, Reva worked at Upjohn’s on the assembly line in the oint­ ment department. After Rob was born in 1958, she decided that raising her family and spending time with her husband were more SUNDAY SAVINGS Your choice, 8.99 Fashion Expo: Set for summer, tops to bottom. cor <L*Li*r™n [^riPvillo Township sifts flour for her favorite pumpkin anHhnd US>d purwd corrotl a» a substitute for pumpkin ond has found it to be delicious too. important than working outside the home.

The Cracker Jack story reads like a good book and correlates well to the history of our country. Cracker Jack's beginnings trace to 1871 and the Great Chicago Fire. F. W. Rueckheim, a German immigrant, had been working as a farm laborer. After the fire, he came to the city to help clean up the debris. He stayed and invested his life savings of 5200 into a popcorn business. His small stand, at 113 Federal Street, had a single popper, but within two years, Rueckheim had saved enough money to send for his brother, Louis, from Germany. Together they prospered. Within the next decade, they had moved five times to progressive)-/ larger quarters. Now came the World’s Columbian Exposition in 1891 Twenty-one million people were introduced to such wonders as the Ferris Wheel, Little Egypt, the United States’ first commemorative quarter, and to a unique popcorn, peanuts and molasses confection - the forenmner of Cracker Jack. Following the exposition, demand of the product increased and it was belt? shipped across the country in wooden tubs. To keep the kernels from sticking together, a secret process, still used today, had to be perfected. The Rueckheitns kept fresh samples in their offices at all times. One day, in 1896, after sampling the treat, a visiting salesman commented, ’That’s a cracker jack!" From that the name was born. In 1910, coupons were placed in Cracker Jack boxes. Within two years, prizes replaced the coupons. There were whisGa, yo-yos, puzzles and spin-tops. With the US. entry into World War I, Cracker Jack packaging went patriotic, "Sailor Jack" was added. He was modeled after the founder’s grandron. Bingo, the dog, was as inseparable from his master in life as he was on the package. Tragically, the young boy died of pneumonia shortly after his symbol appeared. In 1933, the mystery or question mark package of Cracker Jack was in­ troduced along with presidential coins as prizes. Almost a quarter million youngsters joined the Cracker Jack Mystery Chib during the next four years by sending coins and cards and receiving membership cards and prires in return. It is these presidential coin* that keep cropping up in collection* today. They are a half-century old. The success of the presidential series prompted otter companies to follow suit Some carry the product name, others do not — but if you wanted to know who Old Hickory was, or who served as the 26th president of the United States, Cracker Jack presidential coins were an aid to your history lessons. Their sentimental value exceed their collector value - but the ever-soaring collectible market will probably make it well worth your time to glean junk boxes at flea markets and auctions for these tiny reminders of or past, to build a brighter spot in yoir future. bushel grass catcher kit. _ . .....

"Farm life is a busy life and my family and husband came first," she says when she talks about her other activities. She’s also a dedicated member of the Faith United Methodist Church in Delton where she’s active in the women’s society and helps with events like the recent mocher-dai^hter banquet. She also serves on the bicentennial committee at the church to plan for the krai observance of the 200th anniversary of Methodism. About a year ago, Reva completed training to participate in pastoral care visitation. ■ "I’m always glad if I can bring a little cheer to somebody when they’re down in the hospital. It’s an opportunity too to represent your faith in the community,” she said. She’s served two years as chairman of the Delton bikeathon to benefit St. Jude’s Hospital and has worked for the local ranger drive. Swimming and walking for exercise (even in the winter) are activities she enjoys. Bowling has been a pastime for many year*. She bowled in a mixed league for 17-yeara and has served as league treasurer, but widt that she didn't bowl last year. Reva likes to garden and grows vegetable* and works in her strawberry patch every year. She’s versatile in utilizing homegrown produce. One year when she grew an abundance of carrots, she decided to cook and puree them and use them as a substitute for pumpkin when making pies. "You can hardly tell the difference from pumpkin,’’ she says of the carrots. She's also grown pumpkins and canned them for pies. She uses homegrown tomatoes to brew up batches of homemade tomato soup that might contain such other items as potatoes, onions and celery which she puts in the blender. Reva sometimes uses the homemade tomato soup in meat loaf for a delicious and different flavor. However, she’s very modest about her cooking. "It’s nothing complex,” she says, "I just do plain and simple things." One of her favorite recipes is a pumpkin cake. She has also used pureed carrots as a substitute for the pumpkin in the cake and the results have been delicious. | There are a number of coin collectors specializing in the exonumia of the 1930s. Exonumia is the field of numismatics not falling into the realm of coins and currency. It covers the related items: medals, tokens and souvenirs that are made like and look simitar to coins. A number of "Annie" piece* fall into this category . A half century ago, Little Orphan Annie was America’s most popular cartoon character. At the height of her popularity. Annie appeared in over 1,000 newspapers. Annie was also on radio in the 1930s and her sponsor, Oval line, issued a number of premiums that are today’s hot collectibles. The radio show featured the ad­ ventures of Annie, her dog Sandy, Daddy Warbucks, and Asp and Punjab. At the conclusion of each show, Annie read a secret message to all of her listeners. But only those who bad sent in their 10 cents in coin and a liner from a tin of Ovaltine could decipher her me**age. Member* of the Radio Orphan Annie Club deceived a medallic pocket decoder a* part of their membership. Each year the code changed and a new «co<ter was needed complete with another 10 cents in coin and another liner from the top of an Ovaltine tin. There was also a lapel pin for Radio Orphan Annie listeners. There were other premiums — Ovaltine shaken (made of celluloid), frinkii* mugs, glrne*. rings and the like - but these are too far afield from numismatics to be considered exonumia. Secret decoders average 545 at collector* shows. One with the original funnybook and instructions, all in absolute mint condition, is offered at 595. The lapel pin can be purchased for 525. A word of caution must be in­ terjected. The Ovaltine Company, Annie’s sponsors in the 1930*. are releasing 50th anniversary Annie items, including a reissue of the decoder. Shop with care so you will not be purchasing a reissue as an original. They are marked on the back, so if you are offered an "original" with the back missing — be doiMy cautious. Today's premiums may be tomorrow’s collectibles. "Annie" has a merchandising blitz that parallels the promotional efforts to plug the new movie and stage play "Annie". There are gimmicks from Coca-Cola, owners of ths film company that produced "Annie" fiom Quaker Oats, Procter and Gamble, and of course, the Ovaltine Company. If they look like a mdeal or a coin, put them away; you may be able to buy something fantabulous someday from the monetary rewar ch of collect!^ them! The Cracker Jack story and their use of “coins" to promote sales is one of success and ingenuity.

Leonard Davis conducts the dedication ceremonies for the Vietnam veterans monument. FUR FROLIWIM FRIDAYS “Splash" seemed an appropriate title for the rainsooked parade that featured the Hastings High School marching band. A cold, wind-driven rain didn’t halt dedication ceremonies for a new monument to Vietnam veterans, Monday, though only a few hardy souls braved the weather to watch. The ceremony was conducted at 10:15 a.m. as part of the Memorial Day parade. The new monument, funded by the Hastings Jaycee Auxiliary,, is located next to the flag on the lawn of the Barry County Courthouse. Rev. Leonard Davis told the audience that people should never fa get the real reason for Memorial Day, ’’not only remembering those who died to defend our great country but let us remember those who have returned and are with us today.” “We dedicate this monument...to remind us of all the men and women who served in the armed forces of the United States during the Vietnam War," he continued. “We fellow Americans are proud of you all." Rev. Davis also quoted from “I Believe in DANCERS MAGIC SHOWS SINGING MUSIC BANDS tel America" by William Arthir Ward, which says, in part: "I believe in America, i believe it became great because of its faith in God, its hope for independence and its love for freedom. I am grateful for America’s glorious past: I am awaed by its unbelieveable presnt; I am confitent of its limitless future. I am not ashamed to take my hat off and to stand at attention when Old Glory Passes by. I do not apologize for the lump in my throat when I repeat the Pledge of Allegiance." Following the ceremony, the Memorial Day parade moved on to the Civil War monument at Tyden Park, where Warren Arnold, commander of the American Legion Post, laid a wreath, and to the Thomapple River, where a wreath was tossed in memory of the sailors who have died. Final ceremonies were conducted at Riverside Cemetery.

Jim CnjHenden, John Ketchum, Bruce Hoffman and coach Jim Gibson. High school track's finest performers will be on various stages around Michigan this weekend as the annual MHSAA state meets are held in four locations. The Class B meet, featuring nine Hastings tracksters, will be held in Caro. Qualifying for the state meet was the Saxon girls 800 relay team of Tammy Bryans, Cris Kruko, Beverly DeCamp and Kristin Matthews as well as Bryans in the 100, and Amy Atkinson in the 800 meter run and long jump. Qualifying from the Hastings boys team is the 440 relay team of Jim Crvttenden, Mike Matthews, Bruce Hoffman and John Ket­ chum as well Cruttenden in the 220. All the Hastings performers have some creditable stats behind them in hopes of placing at the meet. For instance, the girls 800 relay team placed third in both the league and regional meets this spring. Their best time was a 1:49.8. Bryans won the league and regional meets and her best time is a 12.3. Bryans, only a sophomore, qualified for the state meet last year but couldn’t run because of an injury. Atkinson, who finished fifth in the league and third in the regional, has run a 2:32.1 in the 800. Her best long jump is 15-11. As for the boys 440 team, it placed third in the regional and second in the Twin Valley. The foursome tied a school record in last week's Delton Relays with a 45.1. Cruttenden'8 best time in the 220 is a 23.2. He finished second in the regions Is. Both Hastings boys coach Jim Gibson and girls coach Pat Murphy point out just qualifying for the state meet is a thrill. "No matter what happens we’re there,” said Gibson of the meet. "It's something they’ll always remember. The boys are real excited." Murphy agrees. She said, “To be able to compete with a select few is great. To win is even greater. “I’ll just be happy if they get can get their limes down. I’d like to see them place, but you have to be realistic too.” Murphy pointed out that Kruko, DeCamp Middleville second in O-K tennis meet Members of th* Hastings slot»-qualifying 800 relay Isom of (from left) B*v DeCamp, Kris Matthews.

The fishermen didn’t want their lake used as a rearing pond for muskie, they wanted the spearing ban revoked, and they wanted better communication with the DNR. They’ve gained all three. In short, the problem was the fishermen thought the muskies were cleaning out all the perch and bluegills in the lake thus making the fishing rather poor. Opponents (spelled DNR) claimed there was no proof the muskies were the main culprit for the fishing demise. Never-the-less, the DNR caved in and granted concessions to the fishermen. But were the muskies really the problem? I've talked to several fishermen who claim other factors such as overfishing, pollution, boating, and perhaps even an overpopulation of pan fish could lead to lesser bluegill and perch numbers. A self-creel, or survey form, will be conducted by fishermen this summer (lasting three to four years) and the result.-, of that should go a long way in determining what exactly is happening with the lake. Let's hold off blaming the muskies until the results of that creel are available. Meanwhile, as Brian Akers, president of the Gun Lake Protective Association, said of the controversy between his group and the DNR, "The more you communicate the better." Expanding the high school playoffs from 32 to 128 teams — Sure 1 know, every year somebody is left out of the high school playoffs that probably should be in, but expanding the playoffs isn’t the answer. There will always be teams howling about missing the playoffs as long as all 700-plus schools in this state aren't invited. If the MHSAA was to expand the annual November state playoffs the organization would have to do one of two things — neither all that appealing Consider: (1> Last year the pre-season con­ ditioning without pads started August 15. If the season goes longer, that date could be pushed back to August 1. That's simply too early and too hot for high school kids to be playing football. (2) The second alternative would be keep the starting date as is but stretch the season into December. But that idea is just as poor because hundreds of high school football players — particularly in Class C and D — also play basketball. That's detracting from the basketball season. The solution is having the MHSAA’s computer do a better job of picking football playoff-caliber teams. "The Natural'’ — Ah, the age old plot of man finding woman, man losing woman, man eventually gaining woman back. Actually that's not fair; this movie has more stock to it than that. Even though it tends to be a bit "Hollywoodish" at times mainly because movie producers have never been able to do a realistic sports movie right. "The Natural" doesn't can. to be anymore than what it appears to be: simple enjoyment. The hero, the fictional New York Knights' Roy Hobbs, finally breaks into the majors 16 years after meeting with near-tragedy in a lavish Chicago hotel room. This is the story of his rookie year, shady gamblers and sport­ swriters (you know it's fiction now), and of long-lost love. It's a excellent movie. Take the family, grab a couple boxes of pop corn, sip a coke and enjoy it. The roaring Tigers — Yes, the Tigers are going to win the A.L. East, but I’ll not guarantee anymore than that. Forget the mouthy Orioles and the baby Blue Jays, the Tigers will win their division The Tigers, easily the talk of the slate, aren’t doing all this with mirrors or gadgets. Admittedly, they have .■eceived their quota of breaks, but make no mistake about it: the Tigers are an excellent baseball team. Cut this prediction out and save it. If I'm wrong. I’ll buy a lunch to anyone that can produce this column in Oc­ tober. Bui if they do win it. someone out there had better come forward with a lunch. Middleville’s tennis team wound up one win short of an O-K Blue championship last week. The Trojans finished with 26 points to finish behind only Hudsonville, which had 28. The third through eighth place teams were Caledonia with 19 points, Kdloggsville with 17, Hamilton with 12, Comstock Park with 10, Lee with 7 and Byron Center with two points. Picking up individual titles for Middleville vere Todd Courts at third singles and Eric Hannapel at fourth singles. Courts, who beat a player 6-4, 6-4 who he had lost to in the regional finals, is now 19-2. Hannapel recorded three wins to up his record to a perfect 21-0. Chris Wingeier at second singles and the third doubles team of Tom Schwartz-Evan Miller finished second. The first doubles team of Jon Scott-Rolfe Timmerman finished third. Middleville was tied for second with Hamilton with an 11-3 record going into the meet. Trojan oach Larry Seger said his '-am more than met its goal in the meet “We wanted to beat them out for second overall and we did that,” said Seger. “We just came up one win short of winning the championship. But we were happy." Jr. High squads blast Delton The Hastings Junior High boys track team knocked off Delton 94-38 while’the girls also and Matthews were three quarters of last year's 440 team that also qualified for state. That experience is a bonus. “That fact that we are young won't hurt because these girls have been there before." said Murphy. Gibson said it is within the realm of possibilities that his 440 team can place in the tp eight in the meet. "I feel a 44.7 can place them," he said. "A baton could be dropped or whatever. But a 44.7 could take eighth." won 90-33. Picking up Hastings firsts for the boys were Mike Brown in the 60-yard hurdles and high jump, the 880 relay team of Mark Matthews. MattSchmader, Scott Teske, and Brian McLean. Ron Simpson in the 880, Mark Matthews in the 100, Chris Rose in the 75, Schmader in the 220, the mile relay team of Adams, Brown, Johnson and Simpson, the 440 team of Leonard, Tack, Teske and Carrigan, Jeff Williams in the pole vault, and Jared Carrigan in the long jump. Delton firsts were picked off by Del Eldridge in the two-mile and 440, Karl Miller in the mile, Jimmy Rodgers in the 100, and Jim Hogg in the shot put. In the girls meet, Hastings firsts were nailed down by Julie Dimmers in the twomile, Dale Lammers in the 7a-yard dash, 60yard low hurdles and high jump, Laurie Kensington, Karen Smith, Heather Prucha and Amy Bowers in the 880, Timmi Watson in the 880, Tracy Heath in the mile, Michelle Raymond in the 100, the mile relay team of Dawn Archer, Heath, Watson and Kelli Gielarowski, Janice Noland in the shot, and Prucha in the long jump. Delton first were recorded by Paige Mc­ Beth in the 100. Amy Gilbert in the 440. and Stephanie Engle in the 220. Trout season off with a bang — Ah, there's nothing like spring fishing, particularly to George Clouse (left) and Jason Bardwell (above). Clouse, of Hostings, recently caught this 17*/> inch, 2’4 pound brown trout in Yankee Springs. He caught the fish the first day after he bought his trout stamp. Bardwell, from Middleville, caught his 16 inch, 2 pound trout below the Middleville dam. He was out fishing with his father and brother.

City, county totals reflect increase in gasoline sales Reflecting the turn-around in the state’s economy, gasoline sales in Michigan are increasing for the first time in more than four-and-a-half years. “Consumption has gone up even though more fuel-efficient engines and lighter­ weight cars are giving motorists better mileage than ever before." said State Transportation Director James P. Pitz. "This is a good indicator of business ac­ tivity in the state, and of growth in personal travel for both business and pleasure," he said. The number of gallons sold in the sixmonth period ending March 31 totaled 1,790,000,000 (b), a 7.26 percent increase over the 1,669,000,000 sold in the comparable sixmonth period a year earlier. A four percent increase in the last three months of 1963 ended a run of 18 consecutive quarters in which sales were less than the same quarter of the previous year. The increased income will help the Michigan Department of Transportation (MDOT) finance another big program of highway repair and improvement. Pitz said. “We expect to take bids on about $370 million in contracts this year, close to the $385 million awarded in 1983," he said. The total includes federal-aid projects on county roads and city streets, which also share in state fuel tax revenues and license plate fees. Fuel tax sales, including gasoline, diesel fuel and liquid petroleum gas, produced $127.65 million in the January-March period of 1984. up 25.6 percent from the first quarter — SILVER DIVISION — MXTCH RESULTS 5/21: Kuzova 42-4.

Weight tax revenues in the same period totaled $91.49 million, up 4.9 percent from the $87.23 million collected in the first quarter of 1983. Administrative costs and grants required by state law totaled $18.5 million, a decline of 2.2 percent. The net amount for distribution for Michigan's transportation programs was $210.25 million, an increase of $33.83 million, or 19.2 percent, from last year’s first quarter. The state transportation department collected $73.99 million as its 35.2 percent share of the total and the 83 county road commissions received an equal amount. The increase was $7.46 million for the slate high­ way commission and $14.6 million for the counties, which now are receiving a larger share of the total. The 532 incorporated cities and villages received $41.25 million as their 19.6 percent share, up by 25.5 percent. The com­ prehensive Transportation Fund for statesupported bus and rail programs collected $21.03 million as its 10 percent share, an increase of 19 J percent.

Dana Steidle, the girl was walking to Hastings Junior High, where she is a student, when the boy came up behind her and produced a knife. Steidle said the boy then forced the girl to walk eight blocks, from the corner of B’oadway and Walnut Streets, to a wooded area behind the high school, where the girl escaped. “She was carrying books, and he took the book* out of her arms and set them down. At that point, she fled,*' said SteMe. Steidle said the girl ran east, to a nearby home, where the occupants look her In and called police Steidle and Officer Austin Loftus spate with the girl, who gave what Steidle termed “a very good descrip­ tion,0 of the alleged assailant. Later, while ererrhing the wooded area for rhies, the two men spotted the 15-yearold suspect. “She gave a very good description of the suspect, so there was no mistake who it was,” said Steidle Steidle declined to release the names of the two juveniles. However, he did say the boy to originally from the east side of the state, and is currently living in a foster home in Hastings, and at­ tends Hastings High School. Stekfle said that after the girl escaped, the boy slashed her books with the knife, then cut hto own forearm twice. “There's no teding what he would have done Io the girl if she hadn’t escaped,” said Steidle.

Steinfort instituted the move in response to complaints of vandalism, loud music, shouted profanities, and public drinking by young people who use the downtown sidewalks os a gathering place. Steinfort further promised to ticket and haul away if necessary any vehicle which violates the new restriction, and to arrest any Individual who interferes with its enforcement. Voters at in four area school districts will be facing millage questions on their ballots in Monday’s election and two districts are seeking tax hikes to fund their operations. Maple Valley voters are being asked to approve two different increases for operations and extracurricular programs and Delton-Kellogg voters will see a single proposal that combines a millage renewal with a millage increase. Millage renewals are also on the ballot at Lakewood and Thomapple-Kellogg. Hastings voters have no millage question on the ballot. Polls are open at all school voting sites from 7 a m. to 8 p.m. District by district, the ballot proposals are as follows: DELTON-KELLOGG A proposal to increase the tax levy by three mills and renew 21.1 mills will appear on the June 11 election ballot in the Delton Kellogg School District. The millage requests will be included in tee proposal and voters will be asked to approve them for three years. Dr. John Sanders, superintendent, said that the millage increase is necessary because of a substantial loss in funding due to a sharp decline in enrollment coupled with rising oeprational costs. “The young people of our school district desperately need the assistance of the tax­ payers to provide them with the educational experience that will enable them to com­ pete," Sanders said. The three mill increase on the ballot in­ cludes twn mills which would be earmarked for operations to maintain current programs and to upgrade programs that were marked as priorities by the recent citizens' needs assessment study, he said. The other one-mill would be designated for capital improvements for equipment pur­ chases, building maintenance and repair, and alteration of school facilities. Those additional funds would be used for roof repair, school bus purchases, typewriter replacements in high school business classes, development of computer education Continued on pogo 2 City fund is last resort Department Change over 8384 Budget Mayor/ Council ..

Superintendent Carl A. Schoessel said that the changes are the results of retirements and resignations. Schoessel said that he is unable to announce the proposed changes due to requests from several people for confidentiality. The board is also expected to receive the board of canvassers report of the June 11 school board election, honor retiring board member Judy Lenz for 12 years of service and accept an $800 gift from the Athletic Boosters for the puchase of new junior high track uniforms. Members of the Chapter I Advisory Committee will be appointed by the board. The committee is a requirement for federal funding of a program for children with learning difficulties. They board will also appoint committee members to a state-required food services advisory committee. The board is expected to approve coaching assignments for fall sports and approve activity admission fees. Schoessel said that the assignments are essentially the same as last year’s and that the fees will follow the Twin Valley Conference guidelines. A nominating committee to select can­ didates for the board's officers will be ap­ pointed. a K-12 attendence policy will be voted on. a policy will be received on homework, which will be reviewed for possible adoption at next month's meeting. There will be a brief slide presentation of the high school band’s trip to Mexico. in the high school and elementary, as well as general maintainance projects like painting. The proposed two-mill increase in operations would go toward maintaining programs, meeting added expenses such as salary increases for employees and providing for the purchase of textbooks, teaching materials and computer software. Even though some textbooks were purchased when the last millage increase was ap­ proved. Sanders said the district is still behind and needs to implement a five year plan of replacement to insure that students have appropriate and updated books. "The need for counseling assistance in the highschool, middle school and elementary is very evident and we're going to try to do something with that (if the millage passes)," he said. The need to hire additional coun­ selors was one of the top priorities of the citizens’ needs assessment study as well as an expansion of computer education. Each additional mill, if approved, would by Ken Reibet The chairman of the Hastings City Council's finance committee said coun­ cilmembers will most I ikely balance the 1984 85 budget with accumulated unappropriated funds, when they meet Monday night. “It’s pretty much agreed that we will use those funds," said Mary Spackman. "As far as unappropriated funds go, there's plenty to do with what we are talking about. "There has been quite a substantial amount of unappropriated funds in the past. We don't like to think of having to use it, but it's belter than laying people off,” rhe said. City officials estimate revenues for the coming year to fall approximately $35,000 short of the estimated $1,810,314 1984-85 budget. The budget year starts July 1. "We have to have a balanced budget. The conversation I've heard around city hall is that you just don't use that money to balance the budget. You either cut expenses or you come up with extra money," said Spackman. Most councilmembers and city depart­ ment heads now agree that there is no place left to cut. Department heads, at the urging of the city's budget committee, comprised of members Spackman, Mayor William Cook, City Engineer Mike Klovanich and City Clerk Sharon Vickery, have already trim­ med $338,900 off the 1984-85 budget as presented. There has been quiteasubstantial amount of unappropriated funds In the past We don't Hee to think of having to use It, but It’s bettor than laying people off’- Clty Finance Committee Chairmen Mary Spackman Class officers elected at Hastings Students of Hastings High have elected their respective doss officers for the 1984-85 year.

Junior officers are (second row, from left) Barb Case, president; Suzie Carlson, vice president: and Kristin Trahan, secretary. Sophomore (third row. from left) officers will be John DeLaat. president: Karin Gibson, vice president: and Valeria Dakin, secretary. Cook said the city has accumulated ap­ proximately $500,000 in unappropriated funds. He said that customarily, the city has set aside 20 percent of unappropriated funds for emergencies, and banked the rest. Cook said those funds in turn usually go into construction, or for “line items" such as a new fire truck and police cars. The mayor said the city will not know how much is left over from the 1983-84 budget year until September, when the auditors complete their work. Cook said this will be the first lime that he knows of that the city has dipped into the unallocated funds pool to balance the budget. Projected expenses for the coming year are up $194,483 over the 1983-84 budget of $1,615,483. The largest increases came under the heading of general administration <$104,691 > and in the police department <$27.2401, the fire department <$16,902). General administration covers insurance, social security taxes, professional services such as ambulance and legal fees, fire hydrant rental, and more.

June 7. 1984, Page 2 VIEWPOINT: T-K schools scrap plan for earlier start Commentaries from our editorial staff and the community — Editorial School Elections: Due to overwhelming public opposition to a proposal to start school 30-minutes earlier, the Thornapple-Kellogg Board of Education has scrapped the idea. According to a parent-survey conducted in the district, 75-percent were opposed to changing the starting time from 8:30 to 8 a.m., and the dismissal time from 3:05 to 2:3S p.m. said Superintendent Gerald Page. Based on the survey results, he said, the administration recommended that no change be made and the board complied by voting down the proposal at Monday's meeeting. About 95-percent of the parents of elementary students were against the plan and about 60-percent of high school parents were opposed to the idea. Page said the chief concerns of those parents were the potential problems for young children who would be getting out earlier in the day and "in the winter it would be dark and colder" when they left for school Hard choices for voters While Hastings voters have one of the most low-key school elections in several years, with two candidates unopposed for two four-year terms, four other school districts in this area have some major contests for school board and voters will also have millage questions to decide. Maple Valley voters have the biggest agenda, with two different millage in­ crease proposals and two candidates vying for a four-year seat on the board. Lakewood has a millage renewal proposal on the ballot and six candidates seeking two four-year terms on the board. Delton-Kellogg also has a millage increase proposal on the ballot and four candidates seeking two four-year terms on the board. Thornapple-Kellogg has a millage renewal on the ballot and four candidates seeking two four-year terms on the board. Too often school elections are decided on the personal views of voters about the school superintendents, members of the school board, teachers' contracts, in­ dividual teachers or who the foothall coach is. While these personal views may have a place in discussion at school board meetings and in local communities, they aren't the most important factors when it comes to considering the financial needs of a school district. And, most importantly, they are not the critical issues when it comes to providing the best education affordable for local students. in the morning. The change would also present babysitting problems at the end of the school day, the parents said. “The benefits were all in the high school. There were no advantages for the elemen­ tary." Page said. The board had discussed the matter last month and had said it wanted public input on the matter. Petitions opposing the time change were also circulated in the district but were never presented because the board voted against the proposal before the public response time appeared on the agenda. The time change was originally suggested by the high school faculty and then approved by the district's curriculum council. The idea behind the change was to eliminate the school time lost by athletes who sometimes have to be excused early and to belter synchronize the school’s timing with the Skill Center and special education classes in Grand Rapids. Voters should weigh what types of programs are being offered to the students at current millage rates and if those are adequate to prepare them for college and 6-month term given for burglary charge careers. Voters should compare their districts to others in the state to see if their students will be able to compete in college classrooms and in the job markets. Voters should examine what programs would be eliminated if millage rates are not renewed or increases are not approved. Scott Kelley Spillane, 19, 5354 W. Grand SL, was sentenced to six months in jail, and three years probation, for the March 23 break-in of Sign's Tire Service, 235 S. Jef­ ferson St. In passing sentence, Barry-Eaton Circuit Court Judge Hudson E. Deming credited Spillane for 66 days already spent in the Barry County Jail. Deming ordered Spillane to pay $168.60 restitution to Sign's Tire, where he broke a window, and pried open a cash register drawer with a screwdriver. Spillane was further ordered to perform 160 hours of community service work in lieu of court costs and fines, and to seek and maintain gainful employment. Local millage rates also determine the amount of state aid a district receives and voters should examine the total impact of a millage renewal or increase. Local districts that are willing to pay higher local tax rates benefit from a greater number of jtate dollars in their school systems. As judged by the most recently compiled state figures, none of the districts in this area rank high in total general fund expenditures per pupil when compared to the state's 529 kindergarten through twelfth grade (K-12) districts. For the 1982-83 school year. Maple Valley spent $1,928 per pupil and ranked 484th; Lakewood spent $2,057 per pupil and ranked 394th; Delton-Kellogg spent $2,096 per pupil and ranked 369th; and Thomappie-Kellogg spent $2,187 per pupil and ranked 298th. Not one of the districts was in the top half in expenditures. (We should note that last year Hastings spent $1,762 per pupil, ranking 520th. Hastings voters have since passed a 2386 mill increase, which will probably raise the district's ranking. > In choosing members of their school boards, voters should look at the past records of both the incumbents and those vying for seats on the boards. The policies favored by incumbents are usually evident by their voting records and comments at board meetings. While it is difficult to assess how new candidates will act once elected to a school board, voters can examine their records of service in the community, their opposition or support of schools and government in general and their motivations in running for the board. Being a member of a school board is time consuming and often thankless. In general, people who are willing to work with dedication to improve a school system are the best members. Communities and school boards that are divided over goals and issues seldom create the best environment for learning and learning is at the heart of any school election. to the Editor: a parade To the Editor: How to have a parade? First, make sure that no one in your organization files for a permit After all the city and state highway department shouldn't care. Then, rush down and talk to the chief of police to get the rules one week before you have the parade. Now, make sure the mayor is out of town for the day. since it is necessary to have a special meeting of the city council to get a resolution passed from the highway department. Then you must rush around and get the necessary forms and have them filled out and signed by the proper people. And, since all these folks have nothing else to do but wait around for someone to come in with an emergency such as yours, by all means pick a day when the duplicating machine is not working, and when it must rain all day. Thats all there is to it I would like to take this opportunity to thank all those kind people who helped on the Memorial Day Parade and a special thanks to those people that participated in our parade in the rain. And, due to the rain, we at the American Legion Post 45 want to applaud Barlow Gardens for the wreaths and Barry Cleaners who cleaned and dried our flags free of charge. We were also delighted to have those nice young men from the Air National Guard who marched with us. Again, thanks to everyone and we will see you next year. Warren Arnold, Commander generate appoximately $121,600 per year. That amount is subject to fluxuation because it is based on a proposed state aid formula and the district’s State Equalized Valuation (SEV). The increase would cost property owners $3 per $1,000 of their SEV. If the millage proposal fails, the school district will face a significant financial problem because of a loss of 140 students since last September, said Sanders. The amount of state aid a district receives is based upon student enrollment. A decline of 30-pupils equates to a loss of $60,000 or more in state aid, he said. Even if the millage passes, 54-school employees will be laid off because of the enrollment dip, Sanders said. “If we do not have the millage, we will have to lay off an additional number of the staff...and we would be seriously affecting our educational program if we do that" He has also noted that there was also a decline in the federal revenues received by Delton last year and a projected decline for next year. MAPLE VALLEY Maple Valley voters will be asked to ap­ prove a hike of 3.5 mills for 1984 and 4.5 mills for 1985 for operational purposes. They also will have to decide on a second proposed increase of .5 mills for two years for ex­ tracurricular programs. “Our district has been experiencing rising costs like other school districts during the past year,'' noted Sueprintendent Carroll J. Wolff. “The school district is operating presently at a deficit, and it will be necessary to make program adjustments unless ad­ ditional dollars are made available at Maple Valley.” The current levy for the district is 25.01 mills for operational purposes and 1.20 mills for debt retirement. “Maple Valley has one of the lowest millage rates in Michigan, plus having one of the lowest general fund expenditures per student," points out Wolff. “The state Banner ___________________ / S«nd form P.S. 3579 to P.O.

This current school year, districts received $9 per mill plus $328 per student. “The only way that a school district may actually obtain more dollars for education is through increasing the millage rate for operational purposes under the current state aid program." The stale currently pays $903.42 per student at Maple Valley and the local district property tax income is $900.16 per student. Noted Wolff: "It is apparent that for every dollar paid locally, the state presently will pay approximately $1 also to help educate Maple Valley students." The second proposal of one-half mill for extracurricular programs would help offset costs of supporting present activities, plus restoring others. “Maple Valley students have been making a donation to play on various athletic teams, which is not the case in most school districts,” commented Wolff. "The athletic boosters and band boosters have been doing an outstanding job of supporting these programs, and it is certain that additional dollars will be necessary in the future to support such programs." LAKEWOOD Lakewood voters will be asked to approve a renewal of 19.35 mills for three years. The district has operated on that levy, plus 8.63 allocated mills, for the past three years and Superintendent William Eckstrom said that they expect to be able to stay at that millage rate for one more year. “It looks as if 1985-86 may see a millage increase necessary." he said. Eckstrom said that the district has been trying to maintain its programs at their present level, but will be operating at a $500,000 deficit for the coming year. “We're not in a deficit financial position," he explained, “but we have budget revenue Write us a letter!

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 spe'ling and punctuation. less than expenditures. We will be using general fund equity to continue existing programs, which we can do and keep the district in a good financial position for one year.” He expects the district to have a cash balance in excess of $1 million at the end of this fiscal year. “Our board has had the position that it would like to make it unnecessary to borrow funds and operate the school during any one fiscal year," Eckstrom said. THORNAPPLE-KELLOGG A request to renew 2.5 mills for three years will appear on the election ballot in the Thomappie-Kellogg School District Superintendent Gerald Page said the renewal will generate in the neighborhood of $300,000 per year or six-percent of the total budget for operations. If approved, the district's total extra-voted millage will remain at 23-mills. The school system also receives eight-allocated mills. Pagesaifl the need for the millage renewal is absolutely essential to maintain "a good solid educational program...We have been able to reinstate the six-hour school day, we have started a computer program and we do have a school-sponsored athletic and activity program.” If the renewal is approved, he said the board wants to reinstate vocal music at the elementary level for the next school year and reinstate ar. in-house suspension room which was dropped when budget cuts were made about four-years ago. City budget, continued general administration budget increase, followed by a decline in state revenue sharing for major local street funds. “State funds for streets have been steadily declining over the years, and the city must make up the difference with general administration funds." she said. Vickery added that federal revenue sharing funds have been steadily falling as well. She said two years ago, the feds sup­ plied $126,600 to Hastings. This year, due in part to the city's declining population, the fed's share is less than Sioo.ooo. The increase in the police department budget can lie attributed to the addition of a patrolman, the reinstatement of the detective position, and wage increases. The fire department increase came in higher wages and insurance costs, and higher equipment costs. Not all department costs went up. Salaries for the mayor and council remained the same, al SW.450. and the budgets of the city assessor, city clerk, and housing inspector dropped a total of $9,350. In other court proceedings: James Frederic Foote, 21, 4777 Barber Rd., pleaded guilty to violation of probation. Barry County sheriff deputies arrested Foote for drunk driving April 25 after he ran his car up a utility pole guy wire on Mary Lou Dr. At the time, deputies reportedly found three small bags of marijuana in the glove compartment of Foote’s vehicle. Foote pleaded guilty in Barry County District Court to drunk driving, and usage of marijuana. At a May 24 sentencing, Barry County District Court Judge Gary Holman ordered Foote to pay a $100 fine for use of marijuana. Foote was also sentenced to 45 days in the Barry County Jail, two years probation, and ordered to pay $400 in Tines and costs for the drunk driving charge. Judge Holman offered to credit Foote for 30 days of jail time if he spent the time in an in-service alcohol treatment program. Foole was placed on three years probation, and jailed for four months last year, fo» aggravated assault, from charges stemming from a Jan. 14, 1983 stabbing incident at the comer of State and Jefferson Streets in downtown Hastings. Sentencing for Foote on his probation violation charge is scheduled for July 22. Walter D. Moore, 18, 41 Kingman St., Battle Creek, was sentenced to two to five years in the Riverside Correctional Facility in Ionia for attempted uttering and publishing. Moore forged a check for $65 in October, 1983, and cashed it at a Delton supermarket. A July 11 jury trial is set for Larry Jay Stratton, 39, Wyoming, on a charge of third offense drunk driving. Stratton was arrested April 20 by slate police from the Hastings team, at the comer of M-37 and Airport Rd. The crime of third offense drunk driving is Continued to page 12 PUBLIC OPINION and Elaine Gilbert Trade with China? Emerson Cairns Bernie Hammond Bill Schneider Forest Foley Question Michigan's Governor James Blanchard is currently visiting China, as President Reagan did last month, to discuss trade deals with the Communists. Hundreds, if not thousands of American companies are clamoring for a slice of the Chinese market, and its billion potential consumers, for the chance to sell everything from cigarettes to nuclear power plants. Do you think American business and government are too quick to embrace the Communist Chinese? Do you think a communist country is a suitable ground (or American-styie free enterprise? Emerson Cairns. Hastings: “We should trade with them. As far as cigarettes go, I say tobacco is what they deserve.” Bill Schneider. Wyoming: "Trading would be okay toa certain extent. At the same time, a large abundance of Chinese goods on our market could bring on the same balance of trade problem we now have with the Japanese. We cou'd end up stabbing our­ selves in the back I'm sure China has something it could spring back on us." Bill Johncock. Hastings: "I'm against Communism. To me. it's just a funny situation. I've been in the military, so I know about countries." BillJohncodc Barb Bedford Lee Wallace Phyllis Fuller U*e Wallace, Hastings: “Il seems to me that if we trade with them, they’ll know more about our secret weapons, and we'll be powerless.” Bernie Hammond, Algonquin Lake: “No, I don't think we're embracing Communist China by trading with them. We need to put our people back to work, so we need to send things to China. I think it's good'to trade with them.” Forest Foley. Hastings: "I feel that it’s real good for the economy. I feel if they're going to sell things here, we ought to be able to sell things to them. And this is, more or less to me, what it seems to be about. I don't think we’re going overboard or embracing communism by trying to get (some) trade. They’re going to gel it from somewhere.” Barb Bedford. Hastings; “Yes, I think it will help make relations better. And 1 would think it also helps us. It's better to do that than to talk about war all the time." Phyllis Fuller. Hastings: "It certainly couldn't hurt. I think we might beltertrade with them and gel to know the people. We might end up being friends. If you don't get to know them, you're not going to trust them. If you get Io know them, then maybe you can. At least partially anyway.” �The Hastings Banner— Thursday. June 7. 1984. Page 3 E.W. Bliss names five distributors The E.W.

Jan Westsndorp Jan Westendorp of Martin has a modern day recipe for making yogurt that has an interesting history behind it. Although yogurt has been around since Biblical times in the Middle East, its ap­ pealing flavor and low-fat diet food image have only surged in popularity in the United States in recent y *ars. Yogurt is an excellent source of calcium, riboflavin and protein, closely eoualing milk in value for these and other nutrients, cup for cup, according to the American Dairy Association. Jan said she was motivitated to begin making her own yogurt five or six years ago because her five children enjoy consuming large amounts of iL "I decided to make my own yogurt because of the way our kids go through it. By making it myself, it saves running to the store," she s^id. The yogurt recipe Jan uses is based on a method used in Syria long ago. "This recipe is from an old grandmotherly Syrian woman.” Jan said she and a friend listened to the Syrian woman describe how she remem­ bered making yogurt as a child and then the two ladies adapted her version to modern day techniques. "They (Syrians) used to heat the milk until it tingled when you tested it, so we translated that to degrees ...She (the Syrian woman) also said the yogart mixture (while in­ cubating or resting) should be insulated with old woolen sweaters,” Jan chuckled. "We just applied that to our own method of keeping a roaster in a warm oven and letting it stay there while the yogurt rests. Sometimes, if 1 have to use the oven for other things. I insulate the roaster with old towels or something else that's heavy instead of putting it into, the oven. "My kids like it (yogurt) plain with a little sugar sprinkled on it or with fruit stirred through it." she commented. Jan made samples of her homemade yogurt to share at a recent "Real Meal,” staged in Allegan by dairy farm wives, to promote the use and quality of dairy products and provide information for “June is Dairy Month” articles to media representatives from southwestern Michigan. For the event. Jan shared several other recipes including one fora delicious Grecian Supper Pie that appears in this week’s Banner along with her recipe for yogurt. Jan has a special reason for participating in the "Real Meal." She and her husband, Ronald, operate a dairy farm they call the "Come Again Dairy Farm.” A relative and next-door neighbor of Jan’s, Louisa Westendorp, helped organize the "Real Meal" and Jan said, “I did it to help her out and to do something for dairy far­ ming. And I got involved because I love cooking and I'm always willing to share some of my recipes. "We thought it was a good opportunity to get a variety of recipes out to the media and give them a chance to try them out." “My husband was already into fanning when we got married 17-years ago,” she said. That was quite a switch from the previous five years she had spent living in downtown Grand Rapids. Bom in the Netherlands, Jan is no stranger to farm life though. When she was three, her parents moved to a farm in Canada. The family came to Michigan when Jan was 14. At the Westendorp farm, Jan keeps busy with a variety of indoor and outdoor duties. She helps with the calves and works with veterinary on herd health and keeps relatedrecords. "I help with the breeding, with sire selection and keeping identification records of the calves." Jan's also involved with the farm production, bookkeeping and running errands. Church and her children’s school activities consume just about all of her remaining time. The couple's children — Vince, Geri, Gina, Ed. and Gregory — attend East Martin Christian School where Jan has helped in the library and was a former bookkeeper. She also helped promote a recent successful cheese sale to raise funds to support the school. She’s a former Dairy Diplomat and says the family has sometimes opened their farm for tours for kindergarten children from Grand Rapids. Jan currently writes a newletter for a local food co-op. Jan's Homemade Yogurt Mix: 6-cups of 110-degree water and 2 and two-thirds cups dry milk powder. Add 4-heaping Tablespoons of real yogurt (with no preservatives, additives, or fruit). Whip the ingredients all together by hand. Fili four-pint jars, put in roaster which has two or three-inches of 110-degree water in iL Set in warm oven and let rest at least five hours. Note: Jan said real yogurt for the starter in the recipe is available at most grocery stores. Jon Westendorp, wife of a Martin dairy farmer, dishes up some of her home­ made yogurt at a "Real Meal”, featuring recipes using a variety of dairy products. Jan and a friend translated the yogurt recipe from an elderly Syrian women's recollections of how yogurt was made when she was o child in Syria.

We heard President Roosevelt declare war on Japan (after the sur­ prise attack on Pearl Harbor), saw our fathers and brothers go to war in the '40s and grieved the death of our sons in Korea and Vietnam. More changes have taken place in the past 50 years than in any other 50-year time span. We are now treated surgically with the laser beam and are walking on the moon. We see history in the making on the other side of our world via satellite, but refuse to see the hunger and degradation we house in our ghettos. Our personal financial reports are locked in a memory bank computer. We live in a world of advanced technology and graduate IB-year-olds who cannot read. Fifty years ago, "cool" meant a comfortable temperature. A "joint” was a place to stay away from. "High” wasontopofa mountain. "Coke” was a carbonated drink, and "dope" was a silly person. There was no "plastic money" and a nickel bought a candy bar or played our favorite song on the jukebox. We have become complacent to the threat of nuclear war, dirty politics, crime, bad news, and even to a friend's sorrow. Maybe too much, too fast has hap­ pened in our world and we cannot digest it all with the speed it demands of us. Perhaps we secretly remember a slower, quieter time. We slip into nostalgia sometimes to bring back happier memories from our cliildhood. Believe it nor not (to those of you under the age of 30), there was life before television! Books were our escape into fantasy. I remember the wonderful adventures of "The Bobsey Twins", Tom Sawyer and Huck Finn, "Black Beauty", "Treasure Island”, and "Little Women" — of playing hide and seek, blind man's bluff, ring around the rosy, London Bridges, hopscotch and jumprope. On hot afternoons, we fished from the riverbank and devoured peanut butter sandwiches. We washed them down with the lemonade, made warm by the sun, from a Mason jar. We romped barefoot through fields of wildflowers and fell down giggling. We layed in tall grass and studied the puffy white clouds as they drifted and formed pictures for us in the sky. We shared a single swing in the summer and took turns on our one sled in winter. We honored our parents and said blessings before meals. We hoed the garden and ate sun warmed red tomatoes from the patch. We didn't need to wash the chemicals from them then. We knew a little "clean dirt" wouldn't hurt us. I remember my mother's smile when I presented her with tiny, ragged bouquets of dandelions and how she always said they were beautiful. I never realized how beautiful they really were until my own children brought me bouquets of dandelions and weeds and I saw the joy in their little faces when I ANNUAL MEETING • 4 local students graduate WASH WASH ’n *n VAC WIPE $495 $Q95 COMPLETE Clean-Up $5495 Wash, buff wok. interior clean and engine clean.

And they truly were beautiful as I knew they had picked and arranged them with their chubby, mottled hands, and with all the love their little hearts could hold. In our nostalgic moments, we not only savor and remember nur own childhood, but that of our children. They, as we, were conceived in love, born of pain, and wrapped in hopes and dreams of a wonderful forever. We want only good for them — but without some bad. would they be able to distinguish between the two? We teach the same virtues to our children that our parents taught to us. and their parents before than. We instill the same values that were per­ tinent a 100 years ago. We feel their joy and hurt from their pain. As they grow older, it takes more than a kiss to "make it all better". We live again through our children, but must never make their lives our own. We must love them enough to let them go; to make their mistakes and learn to rectify them in their way, not ours; to support but not smother. I believe we learn parenting from our own parents and grandparents I believe, too, as with good wine, that we mellow with age. There is a special "magic" that makes grandparents feel deeper compassion, are less judgmental, and slower to anger. We are softer somehow, and more forgiving. By the time we live long enough to become grandparents, we have learned that things are not always "black or white", but are more often gray. We’ve learned that time heals and brings its own solutions. Some folks think of grandparents as “old fashioned", but maybe that’s what it takes to get through this maze we call "life". In these 1970b and '80s, many mothers have joined the work force. Many times it’s necessary to make ever receding "ends” meet, but often in our 1980s, it seems fashionable to “find yourself”. What they usually find is that by the time they pay for that extra car, gas, clothes for the work-a-day world, and a responsible sitter for the children, there isn’t enough money left over to buy a full week’s supply of groceries, nor enough strength at the end of lhe day to do their second job, housework, which is always waiting and from which she can never resign. It is estimated that at least $25 per week is necessarily spent on one person for the nutritionally correct dieL With 21 meals per week, you've used up your quota. If one would have had a five-year hiatus from grocery shopping and go into the market today. I’m sure we would be speechless! Thank goodness for yard sales. When my three children were growing up in the 1950s and '60s, it was considered a disgrace to buy clothing at garage sales. Now in the 1980s, it is considered smart to glean through good used school clothes and find a bargain. In large cities and even nearby towns, there are thriving businesses selling good, clean, used clothing and ac­ cessories at a fraction of their new, original price. These stores have chic fronts and use names like "Second Time Around” and “Yours and Mine". Goodwill stores also have many wonderful finds, and the best part of all, is that we have changed our "fake pride” attitudes and now know that it's the wise and smart way to shop. Robotics, computers, space shuttles, moon walks, nuclear energy, micro and laser surgery, heart bypass, "lest tube” babies, organ transplants and a host of other assets have been- con­ tributed to the last 50 years of time. What, pray tell, can lhe next 50 years hold for us? Think about it. It's mind boggling! They Work for YOU!!!

Ann Ainslie HASTINGS SCHOOL BOARD MONDAY JUNE 11, 1984 Poid for by Ann AlntUo. SO) W. Bond. Hatting*. Mi. �The hostings Banner Thursday. June7. 1984. Page 7 Profiles on local school board candidates Hastings candidates Ann I. Ainslie, 31, of 801 W. Bond St, is making her first bid for election to the Hastings Board of Education. ‘The Hastings Area School District is 'recovering' from a period of financial distress," she said “During that period of time, the curriculum and co-curricular programs suffered." She said that as a member of the board of education she will have two major goals. "The first goal will be rebuilding the curriculum and making improvements where needed," Ainslie said. "Of particular interest to me is the coordination of the elementary curriculum between the four elementary schools. "My second goal will be to encourage longrange planning by the school district. This planning should be concerned with curricular and financial issues.” The candidate served as chairman of the district’s K-12 instruction curriculum study committee in 1982-83 and was a member of the millage election steering committee in April 1982. Ainslie holds a bachelor’s and master’s degrees from the University of Michigan and is a 1970 graduate of Hastings High School. She worked as a speech pathologist for the Troy School District from 1975 to 1980. She was the senior speech chairman at the University of Michigan's speech and hearing camp during the summers of 1977 and 1978. Ainslie acted as a substitute speech pathologist for the Barry Intermediate School District from October 1980 to June 1981.

Richard Shaw Hastings Board ot Education member and candidate for re-election, Richard H. Shuw, 46. said that th* biggest issue facing the schools in the next four years is economics. "The school is reliant on the economy and that will play a big part in whether or not we will be able to do many of the things we'd like to do. We are still only two years away from (when we had) the threat of payless paydays," Shaw said. Shaw, of 604 W. Walnut St., said that there are many things he would like to see, such as smaller class sizes, art. physical education and music throughout the schools, and a tougher curriculum which would require more math, science and English for graduation, but said that, first, the district must be conservative in its spending. Shaw said that the people of the com­ munity should be praised for their support of the schools. "I really appreciate wtat the people of this community have done. First they dug into their pockets and supported athletics and then they gave us extra millage. It shows that the people are for education.” he said. Pointing to progress in the district, he said that many of the programs that had been cut out of the schools are being restored and recently 20 sophomores finished in the lop ten percent in the National Educational Development Test Shaw is a partner in the Hastings law firm of Siegel. Hudson. Gee. Shaw and Fisher. He holds a bachelor's degree from Michigan State University, a law degree from Wayne State University Law School and has done additional graduate work at American University in Washington, D.C.

The Banner did not receive information from incumbent Wesley VanRhee of 11840 Davis Rd. Delton candidates One incumbent, one former board member and two newcomers are vying for the two open four-year seats on the Delton-Kellogg Board of Education. The field of candidates are incumbent Vern Scott, former member James T. Henry, Clarence Hartwell and Sally A. Mills. Patricia Morafti Patricia Moretti, 37, of 10830 Shady Lane, Middleville, is making her first bid for elected public office. "I feel it’s important to have someone new sit on the school board to avoid complacency and to bring fresh ideas to the meetings," she said. "My job carries me out of the Middleville area to various surrounding cities and conversation, almost without exception, leads to children and sdiools. I'm always receiving new information and I feel this would be very helpful to the school board and the district. "I like to be involved and the best way for me to contribute is to run and be elected to the school board," said Moretti. She has served on various citizens' committees for the school board in the past. She has been employed for three years as a private secretary to Burton H. Upjohn, 10years as a free-lance typist for court reporters, and three years as a free-lance court reporter. She and her husband, Carl, have two children: Jon, 16. and Missy, 14. Gary VanElst. 33, of 460 S. Yankee Springs Rd. has been a resident of the school district for 25-years and is currently a member of the school board. "I enjoy being a board member and feel with my communication with the community and strong feeling for education, I can continue to serve the Thornapple Kellogg School District with confidence that I’m doing a good job," VanElst said. He feels there have been positive strides in the district's program and lists them as: computers in all the schools; energy savings improvements in all buildings that include windows, insulation, doors, boiler work and roof; and the overall positive attitude and appearance of staff and students. Concerning areas that need improvement, VanElst mentions that a vocal music teacher is needed for the elementary level. For the high school, he said the math program should be kept strong and the board should look at advanced programs and restore the rn-school suspension room. However, he notes. "These programs depend on the amount of money available to the district.” Passage of the June 11 millage proposal for a renewal of 2.5-mills "is very important," VanElst said, "or we will be reducing programs again. We must pass the millage to continue to advance programs for our district." He said he attends many school activities and has time for the job of serving as a school board member. “I feel I have been well prepared for each meeting." VanElst has been a pork producer for 11years. He and his wife Kimberly, a teacher, have two children: Brandon, a fourth grader: and Darren, a second grader James B.

He is an original member of the T-K Boosters and has served as a Lions Club memtxr for 15-years and was president of and willing and able to make the time commitment necessary to be a school board member." She also stated that her business background would be helpful in addition to her "desire Io have the best possible en­ vironment for my community." Concerning the upcoming proposal to increase the millage, she feels. "Il is ab­ solutely necessary in order to maintain the quality of education offered at present." Commenting on other concerns.

The couple have two daughters, one in the first grade, and one in kindergarten, and they are expecting a third child soon. James K. Bryan of 3998 Morgan Road, Nashville, will challenge incumbent Ronald J. Tobias for a four-year seat on the Maple Valley Board of Education in the June 11 election. Tobias, 44, of 391 N. Clark Road, Nashville, was elected to the board in 1981 and has served as treasurer for the past year. A selfemployed farmer and fence dealer, Tobias is an 18-year resident of the district. He and his wife, Carol, have two children: Timothy, a student at MSU, and Tamara, a 1984 MVHS graduate. "I will do my best to keep the people in mind when it comes to taxes." said Tobias. He added that his vote always would be for student needs first, whether in the classroom or for extracurricular programs, “then (school) employees can have what is left as long as the budget is balanced.” Tobias noted: “I will never be involved in a cover-up of any kind, the truth hurts sometimes but it is better in the long run." His challenger is a steam and pipe fitter journeyman employed 10 years at Hastings Manufacturing Company, a 28-year resident of the Maple Valley district, and a 1964 MVHS graduate.

"But as everyone knows, there is always room for improvement." He added that he feels the school board has a responsibility to the electorate to represent them and to "be open and communicate both to the administration and everyone involved with the education of our children." He noted that if there are any changes to be made in the local system, he would like to have a voice in those decisions as a member o( the school board.

Karl. 17, Matthew, 14, Karen 10 and Katherine, 10. Solly Mills Sally A. Mills. 44, of 6056 Guernsey Lake Rd.. Delton says she has four reasons for seeking election to the school board. She cites being an "interested parent wanting the best education possible for my child and other children; business operator wanting to see our area maintain or grow and a good school is necessary; property owner seeking to keep property value up by having quality education offered in this area to maintain the present residents and to entice newcomers; and the desire to feel the same inner satisfaction that teachers feel in helping form young lifes."

Maple Valley candidates James Henry James T.

He currently serves as an appointed member of the Barry Intermediate Board of Education.

"I have trust in the current board and administration and they feel it is needed. So do I.

I believe that a well managed preventative maintenance program starts when one moves into a new building, with monies budgeted yearly therefore avoiding a millage election for overdue major maintenance projects such as roofs, windows, floors and so on." �The Hastings Banner— Thursday.

This is his final requirement for second class rank. He has worked during library hours for two weeks and indexed some of the old newspapers in the library and helped move, index, and rearrange the National Geographic magazines. Chad is now working to alphabetize books that have not been cir­ culating lately and pul them on shelves in the back room of the library. Mary King, who just completed the eighth grade at Woodland Junior High School, is also helping in the library this summer. Mary will be in the library from 3 to 4 p.m. every Saturday during the summer to help children select and check out books, and she will read stories to children every week. All Woodland children are welcome to spend this hour in the library each week and take ad­ vantage of Mary's wide reading experience. Wayne Offley is in Blodgett Hospital in Grand Rapids. He entred the hospital on Thursday evening, May 31, and surgery was done on Monday, June 4. This is the third surgery for Wayne in the last six months. Mr. and Mrs. Ray Faul. Mr. and Mrs..

On Mother's Day. Jean Roberts fell down the outside steps at her home on Woodland Road and fractured a small bone in her back. She says that she is better now, but still does not leave home. At the time of the accident, Mrs. Roberts was entertaining her sister, Bertha Woolsey, and her nephew. Grant Moore, fron Ann Arbor. Mr. and Mrs. Harold Stannard and Mr. and Indian hunting and farming Ingenious traps were invented by the Redmen. This Chippewa deadfall ccuqht the marten or beaver. It was not easy for Indians living in Michigan to hunt and gather food. A New York Times newspaper article of February 8, 1931 estimated that: “A tribe of 50 souls, if it depended for a livelihood on the natural produce of soil and water, needed a fertile territory measuring 100 square miles for sub­ stance." Michigan townships generally have 36 square miles each, so a tribe would have needed two or three townships to provide ’l»em with enough space to feed themselves." Barry County did have certain ad­ vantages over other counties in the state, with its abundance of lakes and streams. The Thornapple River abounded with fish, according to James Cutler who as a pioneer child grew up with the local Indians. Cutler relates that, while fishing with his Indian friends in the Thomapple River, they speared 700 pounds of fish in one night. One fish was reported to weigh 70 pounds. The most common of all Indian hunting weapons were the spear and arrows. There were many varieties of ’.bese weapons used and the style and construction varied, depending on the skill of the maker and tiie geographic location in which they were used. Every weapon or utensil the Indians used was decorated. By the time of the pioneers (1840s), every Indian family owned a gun. Of the younger Indians, some had guns, while others were still forced to content themselves with bow and arrow. The hunters were extremely patient, they would creep slowly and stealthily a mile or more to gain the side of the deer away from the wind, or they would lie prone in a snow bank for hours, or stand so quiet behind a tree that they seemed a part of it. During the winter, they would make and use "deadfalls" (trapsbtp capture the animals. One method of hunting deer in the summer was to shine them in the river. According to Theodore Potter, the great-grandfather of John Walton, it was done thus: "One day Okemos, an Indian chief, asked me tu take a night hunt with him up the Cedar River (near East Lan­ sing). Three ofuswentina large canoe, with Okemos in the bow. I in the center and another Indian in the stem to steer. We paddled up the river about two miles where we stopped until it was dark. The weather was warm and sultry and the mosquitoes were very thick and tormenting. As soon as it was dark, torches were lit and the canoe was permitted to drift downstream. Okemos sat Ln the bow armed with a hatchet fastened to a long pole, in a short time, we saw the antlers of a large deer protruding out of the water, his body immersed to keep off the mosquitoes. Before we reached him, we discovered the heads of two more submerged deer. Okemos with his Methods used by the Eastern Wood­ land Indians to collect maple sap resemble those in use today. hatchet struck one on the head with a quick movement, then struck one of the others which made such a splashing as to frighten the third one away." The Indians did not waste any ot the food. What was not eaten was dried and kept for future use, generally for the wintertime. Many times a saddle of deer was traded to the pioneer for other kinds of food or materials. Furs were used for clothing and to cover their lodges. They also were traded. The bones of the animals were used to make hoes and farming implements. Indian implements of cultivation were of the simplist nature: crude hoes and spades of hardwood, hoes made of shoulder blades of animals attached to sticks, and sharpened clam shells and stone fastened to sticks are among the important types. Starting with the first thaw of spring, the Indians were in the forest making maple sugar. In the spring, they gathered wild strawberries, and, as each berry became ripe, it was gathered and dried. Blueberries, raspberries, huckleberries were all native Michigan food which Indians ate for centuries before the white man arrived. Tne Indian women "planted" com, but not in the manner we are used tc seeing. The Indians planted corn, gourds, pumpkins and squash in mounds on already open areas called prairies. The prairies meant trees had been removed generally by fires and the area was covered with prairie grass. Henry Goodyear, a pioneer resident of Hastings, recalled. “I remember going to Baltimore Township in the spring of 1841, with a view of trading for furs, (and) on my way there I came across an old Indian cornfield of the Polawalomies...” The Potawatomies were removed by the government to a reservation beyond the Mississippi River in 1837-1838. Mrs. Willard Hayes, another early pioneer, remembers that Hastings was "a sort of headquarters" for the open season, while they (Indians) gathered berries which they dried. As the white settlers cleared thenlands for farms, less and less area was available to the Indians for hunting and gathering their foods. This put the Indians in a deprived condition. By the 1850s. efforts were being made to teach the Indians still residing in Barry County how to farm the white man's way. The effort was only partially successful.

Page 10 Experience highlights all-county ball team by Steve Vedder Baseball purists say pitching strength goes hand in hand with the measuring of success on the ball diamond. If indeed that’s true, then it shouldn't be all that difficult to resolve how Hastings' baseball team won a Twin Valley co-championship or how Maple Valley won SMAA and district titles. There is a simple explantion: those teams had the pitching. And two of those pitchers instrumental in the prosperity of the Hastings and Maple Valley ballchibs, Jack Moore and Greg Lenz, head the 1984 Banner-Reminder All-County Baseball team. Joining Moore and Lenz on the select team are Middleville first baseman Dave Perry, infielders Dave Joppie of Lakewood, Gregg Shaeffer of Hastings, and Robb Pickard of Middleville. The outfield consists of Marty Martin and Ryan Trowbridge of Maple Valley and Mike Smith of Lake wood. The all-county catcher is Hastings’ Joel Christensen. The strength of the team has to begin with Moore and Lenz. Moore compiled an out­ standing 9-3 record with a microscopic 0.58 ERA. The senior righthander struck out 123 haters in 71.2 innings or an average of a little over 12 batters per game. He notched a school record five shutouts including a clutch, three-hit 2-0 whitewash of Twin Valky co-champ Coldwater.. If Moore hadn't cracked the all-county squad as a pitcher he would have been named as one of the outfielders. Moore was Hastings' top hitter with a hefty .368 mark with 18 runs scored and 19 rbis. by Steve Vedder Lenz, an all-league golfer and key forward on the Lion basketball team, won all nine of his decisions while fanning 85 batters in only 52 innings. Lenz’s ERA was a paltry 2.14. Like Moore, Lenz also knows how to use his bat. Lenz, whose father Larry coaches the Lion nine, led the team with a .434 average while driving in 17 runs and scoring 20. He also swatted nine doubles and three homers. Lenz is a two-time SMAA all-leaguer who doubles as a catcher when he's not on the mound. Moore and Lenz beat out some stiff competition for the two pitching spots on the all-county team. Hastings* George Sullivan and Gary McDiarmid of Lakewood also merited strong consideration. Heading the infield is Middleville first baseman Dave Perry. An all-league basketball player, Perry hit .333 (including .410 in the league) with four homers, 18 rbis, 18 runs scored, and nine stolen bases. He was an honorable mention O-K Blue pick this season. Perry's teammate, Robb Pickard, divided his time between second and third for the Trojans. An excellent fielder, Pickard hit .323 with 20 hits, including seven rips for extra bases. Joppie, a three-sport performer at Lakewood who is headed for Aquinas College in the fall, hit .368 with 20 nms and 19 stolen bases. Joppie, a three-yew letterman, was the Vikes’ leadoff hitter and led the team with 25 hits. Rounding out the infield is Hastings' Gregg Shaeffer, who surprised Hastings' coach Bernie Oom by stepping into the second base position and hitting a respectable .292 with 11 runs and 13 rbis. Heading the outfield is the swift Maple Valley duo of Marty Martin and Ryan Trowbridge. In addition to their notable baseball skills, both also were heavy con­ tributors to SMAA title-winning football and basketball teams. Martin, an honorable mention all-state defensive back, ripped the ball for a 409 mark with 16 runs, 12 rbis and 20 stolen bases. It wouldn’t be outlandish for Martin to be considered Maple Valley’s best all-around athlete. Trowbridge, who along with Lenz and Lakewood's Mike Smith are the only juniors on the team, hit .411 with 22 runs and 14 rbis. He was also credited with 14 stolen bases. Playing his second year on the Viking varsity. Smith hit .311 with 23 hits, 15 rbis, 19 runs and seven extra base hits. Smith's sneed, enabling him to average in double figures on the Lakewood basketball team, makes him one of the area's top defensive outfielders. Christensen, who barely edged Maple Valley's Jeff Starring for the all-county catching spot, hit only .271, but contributed 18 runs scored, 14 rbis and seven extra base hits including three homers. He also walked 19 times and his defensive abilities behind the plate are second to none in the county. Jack Moore Greg Lenz Robb Pickard Dave Joppie Ryan Trowbridge Elks Golf League This movie is a natural Let’s face it, there are only two real topics of conversation this summer in the wonderful world of sports. It seems everybody is talking about one or the other. The first, of course, concerns that roaring baseball team down in Motown that has captured the rapt attention of the entire nation. The other conversation piece is a movie. No, not the one with that teacher turned adventurer — you know, the guy named after a state — that spends his time tromping around something called the ’Temple of Doom.’ And not the movie where that futuristic spaceship — the one that used to have a television series in the 1960s — returns to the final frontier looking for its lost first officer. This movie picks up the life of a former farmboy turned almost major leaguer who nearly loses his life and career on his way to his first professional tryout. The movie, "The Natural," stars Robert Redford as the fictional New York Knight’s right fielder Roy Hobbs, who, as an 18-year old fireballing lef­ thander pitcher, had his career cur­ tailed by a bullet. After that he bounces around sandlots and bush league parks (although not much of that is mentioned in either the movie or Bernard Malamud's novel published in 1952) for the next 16 years until he winds up in the dugout of the downtrodden but still major league New York Knights. There he becomes the most prolific homerun hitter since 'The Babe.' Along the way our hero encounters an old love, a new love, a crew of gamblers, and a crotchety old manager who's never won a pennant in a zillion years of coaching . “The Natural" is Redford’s first movie in four years and movie critics have offered a mixed reaction to the flick. While Redford is entirely believable as a baseball player, the critics are upset with the failure of the movie to follow Malamud's novel. Which may be true enough, but to at least to one person who read the book and saw the movie, the novel ranks second. True, the movie is guilty of being vintage Hollywood at times. It seems Hobbs is always either smashing monstrous home runs or smacking eight or nine hits in a doubleheader. It’s made to seem Hobbs has more hits to his credit than all of Al Capone's "boys" put together. It wouldn't surprise the audience if one day Hobbs pulled off his uniform top and there underneath was this red and blue suit with a huge “S" stenciled on It. Never-the-less, the movie does manage to withstand such insults to any viewer with any baseball sense. And, again, Redford is believable as a ballplayer. Malamud's book does offer more of an insight to Hobbs' inner self — something the movie either won’t or can't do. After almost being killed, naturally Hobb’s mental state has to be a tritie shaky at times. The movie paints Hobbs as an in­ trovert, someone who's just glad to finally be taking his cuts in the majors. The movie doesn't explore the inner turmoil carooming around inside Hobbs, but Malamud’s novel does focus on his mental problems following the near-tragic incident in Chicago. The book shows Hobbs as more of a hard-core, ’Don’t give me any guff­ type,’ who seems, understandably I guess, like a classic head case at times. The biggest difference, however, between the movie and the novel is how Hobbs' former love is treated. In fact, in the book there is no former lover. Roy later meets this mysterious woman decked out in some snazzy red dress at a bailgame. (You'd think all ballplayers have to do is look up in the the stands for women) In the movie, there most assuredly is a former lover because she becomes pregnant before Hobbs departs for his first major league tryout. She later springs that little tidbit on our not-soinnocent hero during one of the key spots in the movie. Don't listen to the critics that claim the movie is lacking because it doesn't follow the book. The movie is well-made (in War Memorial Stadium in Buffalo), keeps one interested, as well as making us fell good because once in a while the good guy does win. For once.

Mike Smith When last week’s Barry County Track Meet finally drew to a close signifying the end of a season, the fine careers of two particular Hastings girls track performers also concluded. Between them, Colleen Corrigan and Karen Williams earned seven varsity track letters, qualified for three trips to the state meet, and won two league titles. As Hastings coach Pat Murphy summed up of the pair, "We'll miss them very much." Corrigan, the Saxons' ace discus and shot putter, is a four-year letterwinner who qualified for the state meet in the discus as both a junior and sophomore. She also won a Twin Valley discus title as a junior, but could only finish a disapointing fourth this year. Her best throw was a 114.7 toss as a sophomore at the regional meet. Williams, a three-year letterman, has run a variety of events in her time on the Saxon varsity. For instance, as a sophomore, Williams ran the 220 hurdles and was a member of the mile relay team that qualified for state. As a junior and senior, Williams again was a member of the mile relay team as well as the 330 and 110 hurdles, two-mile, and long jump. She enjoyed a particularly successful senior season by finishing second in the league in the two-mile while her mile relay team took third. While both girls admit they each had personal goals they wanted to achieve this spring, both are quick to point out the team’s success should come first.

Williams was disappinted that her mile relay team never returned to the state meet in either her junior or senior years. "1 don't know why we didn't get back," she said. "It’s just one of those things." Williams, like Corrigan, would rather talk about the enjoyable aspect of track — not records or times. "We try to make everything we do fun and just do our best to achieve those goals," she said. One goal Williams did attain was leaping over 15-foot in the long jump. Because it was her first year at long jumping. Williams said if she could clear that length this year she'd be happy. Then in the Delton Relays, Williams jumped 15-1. “I wish 1 had long jumped sooner." said Williams. "I didn't realize it was so much fun." Corrigan loo was a trifle disapoinled she didn’t qualify for the state meet in the discus this year. What bothers her more, however, is the typical sterotype of a female discus and shot putter. Corrigan, who at 5-7 hardly resembles a bulky Russian shotputter, said she is tired of hearing that discus throwers resemble NFL linebackers. "It bothers me a little." she said. “Because that's all we do. people think that's all we can do. And that isn’t true.” That's true for Williams and Corrigan both. Just look at the record.

Bliss Co. could be in the works for the Hastings manufacturer if the city council grants the company’s request for a tax abatement district. Bliss personnel made the request at Monday night’s council meeting. A hearing on the proposed district is scheduled for June 25, at 7:45 pm. in council chambers, during the council's next meeting. According to Bliss spokesman Jan Mullett, the company is eyeing a horizontal machining center, which produces com­ ponent parts for Bliss presses. The machine, which Mullett describes as "state of the art", could increase the company's share of the press market "We expect to gain an increased market share as a result of a lower cost of mamrfacturing, thus being able to lower the cost of the finished product,” said Mullett. ‘'•^MuiteUsaid Bliss could call as many as 200 Local man arrested for car theft A 17-yaar-old Hastings man demanded examination in Barry County District Court Monday on Htargm of car theft end larceny over two State police from the Hastings team arrested John Erickson, Barber Rd., shortly after police recovered a states car Saturday at the corner of Barber and Landon Roads.

Kant County man faces jail term te-year-old Wyoming man faces a minimum one year in jail under Michigan's new drunk driving laws, after a Barry Cotaity Circuit Court jury convicted him Monday of driving under the influence of liquor, his third offense in five years. Sentencing for Larry Jay Stratton, Johanna Street, Wyoming, is set for June 29. Under the new laws, which took effect in April, 1983, Stratton faces a minimum ofonp year in jail, and up to five years, and-or up to a $5,000 fine. The jury deliberated for only 45 minutes on Stratton’s latest offense, which took place April 20, 1984.

The presentation took place at Tuesday’s board mooting. Lenz did not seek re-election to her seat, which will be filled by Ann Ainslie, who ran unopposed in Monday's school board election. persons back towotk, “depending on the company building its market share." "I don't want to get people excited thinking we'll hire200 people tomorrow," said Mullet. "It's totally dependant on the market share.” E.W. Bliss Co. currently employs about 260 pocjle. Mullett said the horizontal machining center will be located inside the main plant in Hastings, and will take approximately 15 months to install. She emphasized the machine has not been purchased yet, and refused to give details as to its size, or who manufactures it, adding the purchase is still being negotiated. In its tax-abatement application, Bliss said the new machinery and improvements would enable the plant to operate more efficiently and put the plant in a more competitive position, resulting in a market-share in­ crease. Work on the project would begin in July, and be completed in July 1986, ac­ cording to company plans. According to Mike Payne, Hastings city assessor, once an industrial tax abate district has been set, the company can apply for an industrial rehabilitation tax cer­ tificate, which would freeze the existing assessment on improvements. He said the Bliss request is the first received by Hastings under the terms of Public Act 198, which provides for industrial tax abatements. tn other business: Council received a scolding from a Hastings developer, whose petition for street improvements was turned down two weeks ago. "I'm wondering how we propose to develop □ur city’s vacant lots without streets, or water, or r-ewage," said John Cotwon, of the Thornapple Valley Development Cc. Council turned down the petition at its May 29 meeting, at the request of Don and Karen Myers, 703 E. Lincoln. The Myerses told council that their builder, Dan Walker, of Hastings, had in­ stalled sewer, water, curb and gutter and blacktop on Lincoln St, and 32 feet on Ferris St., before selling it to the Myerses. “Now I have to pay for half of the cost of hooking up for the two houses on the other side of the street," said Don Myers. Cohoon told council it has the option of spreading Myers’ payments over a 10 year period, instead of the standard five years. The total Ferris St frontage of Cohoon's two houses, now under construction, equals the Ferris St frontage of Myers’ home. A hearing on Cohoon's request will be held at the next council meeting, June 25. Council approved a 1984-85 budget of $1,811,314, and made up a $38,656 deficit with monies from the city’s unappropriated funds. Council also voted to increase the city's tax rate to 16.2 mills, the maximum amount allowed without a vote of the people. Councilman Franklin Campbell cast the lone no vote on the tax increase. The city currently has approximately $500,000 in unappropriated funds, according to Mayor William Cook. However, 'he exact amount of the fund has not been made available by press time. Small item causes big school debate by Norma Acker A $5,600 athletics expenditure in the Hastings schools' $8.5 million budget is causing disagreement among members of the Hastings Board of Education. Board members have twice argued about reinstating a freshman boys athletic program. Board President George Wibalda went on record against such a move at Tuesday night's meeting. “I do have a problem with the freshman athletics because the millage didn’t provide for it,” Wibalda said. Money to fund the program will come from increased state aid. Wibalda said that he is not against athletics but be did not feel that this is the time to reinstate the program just because more dollars are available. Diane Hoekstra, finance chairman, said that she also has some problems with the proposed expenditure. "Can we in good conscience have a full athletic program before we have a full academic program," she said. Hoekstra said that she thought there should be more interest in other areas of the budget. The athletic boosters, represented at the meeting by Dr. James Atkinson, asked the board to reinstate the program. "We lose continuity in our program as it has been in the list five years," he said. Atkinson explained that boys play seventh and eighth grade basketball and football in the Rodee's League and then get to high school and have to compete with sophomores. Many drop out of the program, he said. James Toburen, who is in favor of the program, cautioned against focusing too much on the issue of athletics. He pointed out that the total budget provides for additional classes, new textbooks, building and maintenance projects and bus purchases. At a special budge! hearing held June 7, Superintendent Carl A. Schoessei said that he had met with the millage committee and that their response to putting ninth grade athletics into the budget was favorable. Schoessei said that $5,600 will not touch as many students anywhere else as it would in that program. Retiring board member Judy Lenz said that she is not in favor of the program at this time. "We need smaller class size and more counsellors, although we can’t do it with $5,600," she said. Dr. William Baxter pointed out that Hastings is the only s jhool in the Twin Valley Conference that does not have a boys fresh­ man football and basketball program. Baxter said that he feels that the community in general wants the program and that if the Continued on pogo 11 Gun River clean-out upsets residents byKenRelbel A proposal to clear the Gun River of deadfall and sand bars, at a cost of nearly $500,000, has Yankee Springs Township residents angry. Approximately 200 Yankee Springs Township residents turned out June 6 at Yankee Springs Township Hall for a hearing of necessity to decide if residents of the Gun River drainage district, which lies in Barry and Allegan counties, should foot the bill for the clean out. A three person panel, con­ sisting of the (frain commissioners from Allegan and Barry Counties, and a Michigan Dept, of Agriculture administrator, voted 2-1 for the clean out. Those opposing the project have ten days, until June 16, to appeal the ruling. Barry County Drain Commissioner Audrey Burdick, who cast the lone dissenting vote, said something needs to be done about the floods which plague Allegan County muck farmers every five years or so, but that the problem needs to be attacked at the tributaries leading into the Gun River. "I am not against doing something to alleviate the flooding problems," she said. “I just don't believe the project as proposed will solve the problems.” Burdick called the proposed im­ provements "cosmetic.” “It will make the stream look better, and add some capacity, but it won't give us what we are looking for," said Burdick Burdick said the idea for a river cleanout was first petitioned for about five years ago. following a 1978 flood that caused an estimated $2 million damage to Allegan County farm crops. The petition was turned down at that time, but was recently resurrected, again by farmers, said Burdick. Burdick said the flooding problem lies in the amount of sediment which makes its way into the Gun River, thus cutting down on the river’s capacity. When capacity is cut, it takes longer for rainfall to flow off agricultural land, thus the damage from floods. "The farmers have flooding because it's an old river basin. But if they can get the water to flow off quickly enough, you won’t have that great a loss," she said. Burdick said the cost of improving the Gun River's capacity will be spread over 5,000 parcels of land in the drainage district. She said it was last projected that approximately 750 of those parcels lie in Barry County. “But that can change, because those percentages are up for negotiations now." Burdick said that the drain will benefit Allegan County farmers the most. Of the 12 miles or so of Gun River that needs to be cleaned, less than a half mile lies in Barry County. However. Burdick points out that everyone in the Gun River drainage basin, of which roughly one-third lies in Barry County, benefits indirectly from the drainage. "Most people that get indirect benefit thin.*” that they get no benefit," said Burdick, and she likened drainage benefit to education. “Not all of us benefit directly from education, yet we are supported by the people who come out of the system educated." Warren Alward, Dept, of Natural Resources Fisheries Habitat Biologist, said his department is opposed to the drainage project. "I have to evaluate the program as to how it impacts on the fisheries resource. As the proposal stands now, it will have a strong impact on the fish population," said Alward. He said the dredging and clearing of deadfall on the Gun River will reduce the amount of fish cover, thus endangering the stream's brown trout. “We have an investment in stocking fish in the Gun River. There are quite a few people who fish it," sa*d Alward. "(The project) will eliminate fish cover and destroy habitat," he said. Lynn Fleming, Allegan County drain commissioner, called the project necessary. “The project as proposed by the engineers seems reasonable," he said. "I think there is a sediment problem, and the proposed sediment traps will help clear the river." A sediment trap is a hole dug into a river bed which traps silt that flows downstream. Sediment traps need to be cleaned periodically. Fleming added that the DNR needs to put its money where its mouth is in regards to preserving fish habitat. “The cost of improvements to prevent flooding will be borne by property owners. The DNR does not furnish funds for drain improvements. We could address fish habitat in our plans if the DNR put funds into it,” he said. Ironside named top alumnus Ian C.

T-K schools sued by former student A former Thornapple-Kellogg high school student is suing the school system for negligence in connection with a March, 1981 automobile shop class accident. In (he suit, the lawyer for Billie Lee Chamberlain daimed his client received burns on his face, neck, arm and hand when another student started up a car he was working on. causing gasoline to spray on him and ignite. The suit claims the school, along with shop teacher Ronald Overbeek and High School prinicipal Henry J.

Charter of Allegan, further alleged that his client's injuries were aggravated "by the failure of the defendant (Thornapple-Kellogg) to provide adequate safety equipment and first aid care and by the negligent first aid perfomed by agents of defendant ThornappleKellogg." Thornapple-Kellogg Schools, through its attorney Calvin Danhof of Grand Rapids, claimed government immunity from lawsuit as a defense. The schools further claimed that Chamberlain "was guilty of negligence and gross negligence", thereby contributing to his injuries, citing the plaintiffs failure to "heed prior instructions of his instructor, his failure to maintain a reasonable and proper observations, his failure to attach the fuel intake line to the carberator before before attempting to turn over the engine, and his failure toact as a reasonable, prudent person under the same or similar circumstances." �Page 2 — The Hastings Banner — Thursday, June 14. 1984 VIEWPOINT: Programs help youth/adults find jobs Commentaries from our editorial staff and the community — Editorial PUBLIC MONEY Keep the people informed Local government officials have got to learn that the public is entitled to full and immediate disclosure of how much money is in the government coffers and how it is going to be spent. Several recent incidents show how local officials, who might have had good intentions, deliberately acted to keep the public uninformed. Members of the Hastings Board of Education received copies of the proposed budget at their May meeting. By design of either the superintendent or the school board, the school officials intended to keep the budget to themselves for a week before making It available for public inspection. The intention apparently was to allow board members a week to study the proposal before it was “spread across the newspaper" and before fielding questions from the public. We protested, pointmg out that the budget is part of the public record and Michigan's Freedom of Information Act requires an immediate response to a request to see public records. Schoo) officials relented the day after the meeting, but only after one board member said that we shouldn't be pursuing the intent of the law 100 percent. Last Thursday, the board held its budget hearing at 4 p m. in the conference room of the administration building—a room large enough to accommodate about a dozen people. Our reporter was the only representative of the public. Monday evening at the Hastings City Council meeting our reporter was told by a member of the coudl that the amount of money in the city's unappropriated surplus did not need to be in the newspaper and refused a request for the in­ formation. Again, this information is part of the public information and the council has no grounds for withholding it. We think that the government officials are making incorrect judgments about their duties and the interest of the public in their actions. Some public officials believe that they know better than the average citizen how the funds ought to be spent. And because people don't attend meetings, the officials, at times, seem to think that the public doesn't care about what is happening in government Clearly the public is interested in the actions of their local government bodies. We find that they read news reports of government meetings with regularity and keep informed on the current topics. They want to know what is happening and how their money is being spent and they have a right to immediate and foil disclosure of all informattai not exempted by state law. Several points need to be made in this regard. First, we didn’t write the law that determines what is public information and what may be withheld from public scrutiny. The laws were written by the legislature at the urging of the public and have functioned well since 1976. The law also designates newspapers as the conduit of information between the government and the public. By implication, newspapers become the advocates of open government on behalf of the people. Frequently, this means that we become the enforcers of the Open Meetings Act and the Freedom of Information Act Not following the intent of the law 100 percent of the time to like having the police enforce the speeding laws only half the time. Certainly that would not be in the public interest. It also is not in the public interest to hold a budget hearing at 4 p.m. on a Thur­ sday in a small conference room. We would not expect a large attendance at any budget bearing, but certainly the circumstances surrounding the bearing could have been made more conducive to public involvement Finally, an attitude by public officials that they know better than the citizens they represent is improper and misguided. People are elected to office because they pledge to carry the concerns of the citizens to government bodies. They should never assume that the citizens are not fit to understand budgets and government. The populace in general is educated, reasonable and interested. There is no doubt, however, that the public can be turned off by government bodies that begin to act more like private social dubs than public institutions. No new leads in car-drowning death of 14-year-old girl State police report no new leads in what they say may be negligent homocide in the case of a 14-year-old girl who died Friday, when the truck she was travelling in left Lacey Rd. and flipped over in a shallow pond. Troopers said the truck may have been forced off the road by a second, oncoming vehicle which was passing. Dead is Micbelle Brown, daughter of Donald and Mary Brown, W. B Ave., Kalamazoo. Michelle was a passenger in a 1979 Chevrolet pickup truck driven by her grandmother. Gladys Brown, 52, also of W. B Ave., Kalamazoo. The mishap occurred about 1:30 p.m. on Lacey Rd., about two miles west of M-66. Trooper Carl Ernst of the Battle Creek Michigan State Police post said the Brown vehicle may have been forced off the road by an oncoming vehicle in Brown's eastbound lane. “We're not ruling out negligent homocide," said Ernst. “We still have a lot of legwork to do." Two witnesses to the mishap said they saw the Brown vehicle swerve to the south side of the road, strike a mailbox, then cross back across the road and go up on a guardrail. Those witnesses, who were westbound, said Hastings the Brown vehicle may have been forced off the road by a westbound vehicle which was passing in the eastbound lane. According to Ernst, the truck straddled the guard rail for about 25 feet, then rolled over and into the pond. Ernst said Michelle was thrown partially through the windshield of her grandmother's truck, and pinned between the riverbed and the hood portion of the truck. Passersby and ambulance personnel from the Bedford Rescue Squad lifted the truck off the riverbed and pulled the girl away from the wreckage. Attempts to revive her by police and ambulance paramedics were unsuccessful, said Ernst, and she was pronounced dead on arrival at Leila Hospital in Battle Creek. Ernst said Gladys Brown was trapped in the truck for about 45 minutes before workers from the Hastings, Johnstown and Delton Fire Departments used extraction gear to free her from the truck. She was taken to Leila Hospital, where she was treated and released. Ernst said Michelle Brown was not wearing a seat belt at the time of the crash, adding "She probably would have lived if she had been wearing one." Bannerj Send form P.S. 3579 to P.O.

Tim Rosenborg (right), one of the participants in th* Exemplary Youth Program, is shown on the job at M-C Supply with employ** Mark Straw. Three separate programs operated by the Barry Intermediate School District and contracted through the Mid-Counties Em­ ployment and Training Consortium offer jobrelated opportunities to qualified youth and adults. One of the programs is currently un­ derway , one has just concluded and the other will soon be starting. The Exemplary Youth Program, which started in April and concludes at the end of this month, has offered a chance for 21 Barry County high school seniors in the class of 1984 to receive preemployment training and be placed at area businesses for "try-out em­ ployment." Marilyn Hess, BISD coordinator of the program, instructed the students in 20-hours of classroom training, teaching skills geared to helping them find employment. Participants were from Hastings, Thornapple-Keliogg, Delton-Kellogg and Lakewood high schools. They learned how to prepare resumes, received assistance in making career plans, were offered tips on money management and viewed films geared to providing helpful suggestions on obtaining employment. The students also completed job interest surveys. Hess contacted area businesses and 15 firms agreed to participate by providing “try-out" periods of employment to students. The program participants were matched to worksites refecting their interests and ap­ titudes. “The try-out portion of the program allows both the student* and the employer a trial period to determine if the student Will be • hired for unsubsidized employment" after the program ends on June 30, she said. During the try-out period, student wages for 15-hours of .work per week are subsidized with funds through the Job Partnership Training Act. “It is the goal of the Exemplary Youth Program to provide a situation in which the participant can prepare for the world of work, then enter probationary employment with the hiring of the student upon successful program completion. "The actual work experience will improve their ability to make career decisions and give them the opportunity to develop basic work skills while being considered for un­ subsidized employment," said Hess. She noted that because of "tremendous support” from the participating businesses and their management staffs, "we hope to build this into a successful program.” Area businesses who provided worksites for the students include Eberhards, Big Boy, Big Wheel, the Reminder, Family Fare in Lake Odessa, M-C Supply, Scotts Silkscreeninc in Grand Rapids, Denny's Restaurant in Grand Rapids, Camp Algonquin, Cone Zone, Haynes Plumbing and Supply, Depot Attorneys, Denny's Auto Service in Lake Odessa, Dingman Farms and Camp Insfree. "Numerous businesses were contacted with many more willing to participate but unable to provide a position during the desired times,” said Hess. An "Employment Motivation" program designed to reinforce job seeking skills and build renewed self-confidence in unemployed adults concluded last week with quite suc­ cessful results. Lindy Stahlman served as the coordinator­ instructor of the program which was made possible through a Title IIA grant with JPTA funds through the Mid-Counties Employment and Training Consortium. Twelve adults ranging in age from 20 to 54 participated in the program which began last April. "Feedback I have had from participants in the program, some of whom have found full time employment and others still looking, indicate that the program was of help to them." said Stahlman. "They left with a professionally printed resume, hints for showing their skills to the best advantage Write us a letter! 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. and a feeling of increased self-worth." Participants received counseling, assistance in goal setting and individual help in job seeking. Some of the job skills taught and reinforced were how to write resumes, fill out applications and write cover letters, use the phone to reach employers directly, interviewing skills including employer ex­ pectations, being prepared for questions that may be asked, and doing a good job of giving the requested information in a positive manner. Stahlman also covered such other areas a* time management, barriers to employment and how to overcome them, using area resources for information about companies and the importance of going after what you want rather than waiting for something to come to you. The program adopted a "logo” and "mascot" which depicts a turtle and says “Behold the Turtle! He makes progress only when he sticks his neck out." “Having been through the unemployment status two different times with my husband," Stahlman said, “I was able to empathize with the problems of those who came through the program. What I learned from our own experience, I passed on to the programs participants...In my own case, our faith in God to ultimately work out our situation brought the peace that made the long months of looking for work bearable." Stahlman said the areas she stressed in the program were: —"Work at keeping a positive attitude. Your attitude, more than, any other factor will determine your success or failure. —Sell yourself. If yte ain’t sell your strong points, who can? Think of yourself as the product that you are selling when you go for an interview. Show how your assets are those that are-needed by the employer. —Be'a squeaky wheel! You know that old saying, “The squeaky wheel gets the oil.” I believe that the persistent job seeker will get a job because his persistence indicates motivation and employers put value on that characteristic in a person. —Keep your sense of humor. No matter bow bad things seem, if you can keep smiling, you will keep yotr spirits up and others notice Enthusiasm is contagious!” Hess said she got into the counseling field because- “it is a helping profession, and getting calls from people I have worked with who have positive feelings about the program, helps me feel the program has accomplished its goals." The BISD also has contracted with the Mid-Counties Consortium to operate a Summer Youth Employment Training Program which will begin June 25. Youth from 16-21 who are economically disadvantaged are eligible to apply for the program. Ninety-tour positions will be filled to provide youth with work experience throughout Barry County. The work will include outdoor and indoor jobs including secretarial jobs, typing, painting, cleatfhg, road work, and grounds maintainance at such places as Charlton Park, the Barry County Fairgrounds, the county road commission, schools in Delton, Hastings and Middleville, and the State Technical Institute and Rehabilitation Center at Pine Lake. Applications will be accepted and screened for elegibility up to June 25. Persons may apply at the Hastings office of the Mid Counties Employment and Training Con­ sortium. 305 S. Church or at the BISD office, 202 S. Broadway in Hastings. Richland man, mute to burglary charges A 19-year-old Richland man stood mute in Barry County Circuit Court Friday to charges that he burglarized two Barry County homes on or about last January. A plea of not-guilty was entered by BarryEaton Circuit Court Judge Richard Shuster for Tyrone Theodore Trout. Trout is one of five men whom police say operated a burglary ring in a five county area responsible for over 80 break-ins. It is alleged that Trout burglarized a Johnstown Township home on or about January 7. and a W. State Rd. home sometime between Dec. 27, 1983 and Jan 6. 1984. Two separate jury trials are scheduled for Trout: one Aug. 27 on the W. State Rd. breakin. and July 9 on the Johnstown Township break-in.

PUBLIC OPINION: Welfare for college students? XilP Stsvs Pyrzynski John Rtpp Art Kincxt Dnud« Wank Denn Munson The Question:. Department of Socia' Services Director Mary Mansour recently charged her department's guidelines to allow poor college students to collect welfare benefits for two years while taking classes. She said it is to the state's benefit to help poor students, to train them for work that will keep them off welfare. What do you think? Art Kanatie. Hastings: “It’s a very poor idea, to be honest. There is enough federal and state money being spent on the poor already. If all it was to be poor to collect benefits to go to college I could have made a fortune when I went to school...I worked my way through. I don't think it's fair. Steve Pyrzynski. Hastings: “If the student doesn't have the money, then the state should help him,” said Pyrzynski, who is entering Ferris State College this fall to study business administration. “It will help the community. The state's wealth is in its people." Bob Fueri, Jr., Nashville: "Your not going to keep them off welfare because there aren’t any available jobs in Michigan and all our industry is moving out. We can prove that right in our own area by Clark, Eaton, Manufacturing and a few other ones moving out. It doesn't matter what you give them, you're not going to help them a dam bit. You might better send them to Florida where the jobs are. John Repp. Hastings: “I think everyone should have an equal opportunity to further his Education, regardless of income. You should get a person to work, so he can con­ tribute to the state and not just take out. Everyone should have the right to be educated, regardless of who his parents are." John, a 1984 Hastings High School graduate, will be studying pre-farming at Ferris Stale College this fall. Douglas Wenk. Hastings: “They should prove they neeed it first, induding a check on the student's family background and financial status. If the family can afford to send the kid, then the student shouldn't get it. If the parents are laid off. then the student deserves help." Sharon Curtis. Hastings: “I don't mind the student getting the dollars, but I want to make doggone sure he's not from some rich family. Give it to the people who need it." Duane Jarman, Hastings: “I definitely don't think they should be drawing welfare while going to college. Once they gel on the rolls, it's hard to get them off. If they've got the capability to go to college, there are al) kinds of odd jobs they can do around the college. If we give them welfare, they won't apply themselves and look for jobs." Denis Munson. Hastings: "I don't think that it's right. Welfare should be for parents or heads of families who are to the point where they are unable to have employment to feed their families. (Also,) there has to be an incentive for kids to get an educat ion...The more a person has to work, the more they will appreciate an education and 1 would think they will be more productive people.” �Moose Women install new officers Other officers Include (front row from left) Morgoret Wilkes, college of regents; Carol Cramer, library; Margaret Wellman, argus; and Lucille Price, academy of friendship.

Gold Medal readers ready for summer This week begins the summer read.ng club at Hastings Public Library which will continue to August 24. Members who reach the 43-book score will receive their Ben Franklin gift certificate. The Gold Medal Readers Club is for boys and girls who can read “on their own” up through the sixth grade. To join the fun, members must have or sign up for a library card, take books home from the library that will match the “events” in a Gold Medal Reader game board, and bring the books back when they have read them. At that time, they will fill in the proper “events” for the books read and proceed at their own pace, along the route from event-to-event on the Gold Medal Reader maze. As soon as a club member has followed the lines in proper sequence through 20 books, he may ask for a Gold Medal Reader button to wear. Those who fill in all 43 call-number-label rectangles on the game board will be awarded a gift certificate by the Hastings Ben Franklin Store. At the same time that members are proceeding along their own Gold Medal Reader game board, they will have a large "gold medal" to move along on the big game board on display in the library. These gold medals will have the readers* names on them, so each member can plot his own progress in the game. Current registration procedures require that a parent present a driver’s license as identification when applying for a child’s (or his own) library card. So boys and girls who do not yet have library cards should bring a parent along to the library when they first sign up to play Gold Medal Readers Books chosen for entering in the games should be at the child’s reading level and must satisfy the kinds of books displayed on the game board. All boys and girls have beee Invited to play in the games this summer; each student in the elementary classrooms received a poster and a Gold Medal Reader bookmark. Additional bookmarks will soon be available at the Hastings Public Library Monday through Saturday.

Renee Aukema Renee Aukema has a versatile sauce recipe that can be used to make lasagne or spaghetti. The Martin woman's lasagne was in the spotlight recently at a "Real Meal" which featured a wide variety of dishes prepared by Allegan County Dairy Farm Wives to promote recipes using dairy products. Renee said her sister-in-law gave her the lasagne recipe about 12-years ago and she’s been using it ever since. “It’s good because it's juicy. It's not a dry lasagne. And you can use the same recipe for spaghetti sauce," she said. She also noted that she prefers Ricotta cheese rather than cottage cheese in the lasagne because she thinks it is more flavorful. When she’s not cook! ng a meal, Renee says she keeps busy taking care of her two children, doing housework and being in­ volved with church and school activities. She helps on the family dairy farm by feeding the calves and enjoys yard work, especially tending flowers. She and her husband, Bruce, reside on a dairy farm on 6th Street Their children are Leann, 7, and Rachael, 6. The family attends East Martin Christian Reformed Church and the children go to the East Martin Christian Reformed School. They have been residents of the Martin area for ll-years. "We moved here from New Jersey" said Ren—. She added that they rented a farm there and came to Michigan when they decided to buy a farm. Renee Is a long way from her native Netherlands, but she says. "I love it here." She was four-years old when her family arrived in the United States, first settling in California for awhile.

Hastings Ph.945-3215 - Telecommunicating in 1984 = NOW YOUR TELECOMMUNICATIONS SERVICES COME FROM A NEW FAMILY OF COMPANIES Above I* the iron bridge that crossed the river on Michigan Avenue. That span was opened In 1886 and served the town until after World War II. The current concrete one was officially opened during this ceremony in November of 1949. Michigan Avenue - now closed while all traces of the railroad are being removed - was the first street in the village of Hastings. Actually it was part of an Indian Trail which ran between Middleville and Thornapple Lake. Indians crossed the river here because it was shallow enough to be forded. The first settlers merely widened the Indians footpath into a street, about two blocks in length. When the Village of Hastings was platted, the street was named Michigan Avenue north and Creek Street south of the Thornapple River. By 1913 the street was named Michigan Avenue its entire length. Creek Street had the honor of the first structures in town, a shanty erected by Slocum Bunker. This cabin was a simple affair, probably not over ten feet in height, consisting of a livingroom and two bedrooms. The Bunkers came to town in 1836 to provide shelter for the men who would plot the village. Thus the family also built in the first real cabin. This house according to Alice Bunker Stockham, “was about 36 feet square, which on the first floor contained a large livingroom, with fireplace and two bedrooms, and above six bedrooms. The stairway was near the front extrance." The house was called the “Clinton House" and here many a settler spent their first night in town. After the Bunkers moved away, the house became the first “hotel and tavern" in town. Bunkers also assisted in building the first saw mill, so important in development of any town. In June of 1837 Willard Hayes made his way to Hastings. His brother, Dr. Hayes, was one of the investors which wished to establish the county seat (Village of Hastings). Willard was to "look out after his brothers interest". Willard and Abner Parmalee either built a shanty or took ove* the shanty that the Bunkers had. At any rate they were single and set up bachelor’s quarters, becoming the second residents on the street. During 1837-1838, Levi Chase arrived and built a house just south of Apple Street on the west side of Creek Street. In 1839 Hiram Kenfield brought to Hastings the first stock of merchandise ever shown in town. But he did this more to barter with the Indians than to trade with the white settlers who were too few and too poor to give much support to a store. He built on the south­ west corner of State and Creek Street. Hiram Kenfield has the honor of building the first Michigan Avenue bridge over the Thornapple River in 1839. In 1840 H.A. Goodyear opened the first store in Hastings. He first moved his stock of goods into Kenfield’s Store. Later he moved down to the corner of State and Jefferson. Here are some of the prices the pioneers remember paying: Flour per barrel (60 lbs), $20; pork, per barrel, $40; and Calico per yard, 25 cents. Milk and butter none to be had but when possible butter was 10 per pound and the only sugar was maple sugar traded by the Indians Postage to send a letter was 25 cents, while day labor was 50 cents a day and was payable in flour which equaled about one and one-half pounds of flour for a day’s work. Fifty years later, in 1886, Hastings had its “big" fire which started just east of Creek Street and threatened the whole town. The blaze started in Newton and Crothers Planing Mill near Fall Creek, quickly spread to A.D. Merchants Livery Barn a few feet away and then encompassed the three story­ frame hotel at the northeast corner of Michigan Avenue and State Street Flames then engulfed a line of frame store buildings extending from the hotel north to the railroad tracks. Volunteers with buckets of water stood atop the roofs of buildings in the area to douse burning embers. This action helped save many buildings. The effort, however, was not enough to save the several manufacturing concerns, in­ cluding the A.G. Spaulding Factory which was located on the northwest corner of Apple and Creek Street. The A.G. Spaulding Company was, at this time, the largest industry in the city, employing 40 to 75 people in the manufacture of croquet sets and baseball bats. After the fire Spaulding moved to Chicago. Not only did Spaulding employ the largest amount of people, it gave cash to farmers who would cut logs and haul them to the factory. During bad times farmers could sell their lumber off their land and keep from going bankrupt. After the fire, Michigan Avenue Creek Street was vacant land with rubble. Businesses began to rebuild and as they did the city voted to construct a new iron bridge over the river, replacing the old wooden one. By November of 1886 the Banner declared, "The iron bridge across the Thornapple on Michigan Avenue will be open to the public in a few days." The iron bridge did yeoman service until after World War II and in 1949, again in November, a concrete bridge was dedicated to the City of Hastings and its residents. At the dedication Roger Wisell, president of the Chamber of Com­ merce, introduced Mayor Charles Leonard who gave a brief historical account of how the new structure was financed. Aben Johnson, president of Hastings Manufacturing Company, he said “was ready to do something on a monetary way for the betterment of the town” and the company gave $25,000 as a "nucleous fund" to build the bridge. The bridge cost over $100.00 and it was “only necessary to borrows 15,000 in tax monies to finish it. The new span had a 40-foot clear roadway, two six-foot sidewalks, two 51-foot spans and 83 tons of structural steel, plus 35 tons of reinforcement steel. When the speeches were over. Mayor Leonard cut the ribbon stret­ ched across the center of the span and Herman Frost and his grandson Donald Frost added a historic note. Herman Frost was one of the first to drive over the old iron bridge when it was opened. wo As a Michigan Bell customer, you have been affected by recent changes in the tele­ communications industry.

They are Ruth Clardy, Richard Clark, Dorothy Hoke, Arthur McKelvey, Doris Ockerman, Phyllis Olmsted, Wilma Scholma and Roschen Siegel. The following information was supplied the Banner by Dr. Earl Newman, director of instructional services fcr Hastings Area Schools. In announcing the retirements, Newman wished each the very best in their retirements. In 1983, Ockerman was one of two middle school science teachers selected in the Stale Of Michigan for recognition in the National Science Teachers Assoc. "Search for Ex­ cellence in Science Education” program. She was accorded this recognition for her development and use of an exemplary science education program which is based on the use of learning centers in the classroom. Doris has made presentations about her program at the area-wide staff development conference conducted at the beginning of the school year, and before other groups of science teachers. Ruth Clardy Phyllis Olmsted Olmsted received her bachelor’s degree from Western Michigan University in 1964, and has done graduate work at WMU, the University «»< Detroit, and Michigan State University. She has taught second grade at Nor­ theastern Elementary School throughout her entire career in Hastings, and taught in the elementary schools of Casper, Wyo., for two years before receiving her appointment at Hastings in the fall of 1964. The recent nomination of Phyllis as "Teacher of the Week" on WCUZ radio in Grand Rapids by one of her student "reflects the high esteem i n which she has been held as a teacher," said Newman. Clardy retired from her position as fifth grade teacher, after 20 years with Hastings Area Schools. Clardy received her undergraduate degree from Albion College and her graduate degree from Western Michigan University. She began her teaching career in the Lakeview School District, Battle Creek, but became a substitute teacher in the Hastings Area School from 1951-1964, and subsequently accepted a position as kindergarten teacher in Hastings beginning with the second semester of the 1964-65 school year. Ruth then began teaching fifth grade classes at Northeastern School in the fall of 1965. Newman said that Clardy’s teaching “has been distinguished by her caring attitude toward her pupils and her efforts to know and teach them as individual learners. “AU of us in the school system are ap­ preciative of Ruth’s 32 yean of service to the school and the youth of our community,” said Newman. "The Board of Education congratulates her on her fine career and wishes her well as she joins her busband, former Hastings Board of Education member Fay Clardy, in retirement." Richard Clark Richard Clark wiU retire this December alter 21 years of teaching elementary students ia Hastings. Clark received his education at Central Michigan University and taught for five years in another school sylem prior to coming to Hastings. He has taught in Algonquin, Northeastern, and Pleasantview Elementary Schools during his time in the school system, with his most recent assignment being a fifth and sixth grade teacher at Pleasantview. Dorothy Hoke Hoke will retire in December from Hastings schools after more than 19 yean of service. She graduated salutorian of the class of 1939 from Otsego High School and attended Parsons Business College in Kalamazoo. She has held numerous positions of responsibility since Uiat time, and together with husband Jack, has raised three sens. Dorothy started to work in the Hastings School System in 1964 as a building secretary, and in 1973 was transferred to the Central Administration Office She is noted for her cordial but business-like manner, accurate work, efficiency, skill and industry, along with her willingness to do far more than the required minimum, said Newman, adding “Her work has always been cited as outstanding oi superior and her many years of cheerful, helpful service will be missed by all.” Arthur McKelvey McKelvey retired after 27 years in service to students, staff and parents of the public schools. He started teaching in 1956 in the Orangeville School, teaching all subjects in grades 3, 4 and 5. He received a provisional certificate by the state, and continued his education and received his Elementary Permanent Certificate in 1961. Art is a veteran of World War D, having served in the U.S. Air Force. He remains interested and active in flying and has kept close contact with his comrades from World War II days and on special occasions still wears his uniform. Doris Ockcrnaa Ockerman retired from her position as science teacher at the end of the 1983-84 school year. She received her undergraduate degree from Western Michian University in 1943, and her Master’s degree from Western Reserve University tn 1968. Ockerman began her teaching career at Westwood Junior High School In Park Forest, Ill., in 1963. She also taught for one year in Bratenahl, Ohio, before beginning her career with the Hastings Area School system in the fall of 1968. She has taught here continuously, mainly as a jtxiior high school teacher, but also has taught art and social studies in Hastings, and for part of one year she taught biology in the senior high school. expertise in reading instruction has been of great assistance to all of Jo's students and to other teachers,” said Newman. As the staff member with the longest 14.06% AND 6 OlNHt GOOD REASONS NATIONAL BOND FUND Paid in cash or automatically reinvested for a growing source of future income. Wilma Scholma Wilma Scholma retired at the end of the school year from her job as first grade teacher at Southeastern Elementary School. She received her undergraduate degree from Calvin College in 1940, and her Master's degree from Western Michigan University in 1972. She began her teaching career at Maplewood School in Allegan County in 1940, and later Hastings in the fall of 1962, and has taught first grade at Southeastern Elementary School during her entire career in this district During her 30 year teaching career, she has spent 22 years in Hastings. “Wilma has been known by students, parents and colleagues as a loving and caring person,” said Newman. “This aspect of her teaching has carried over into follow­ up activites with her former students, and has been expressed through her involvement in many extra-curricular and professional activities." Newman further noted Scholma for her involvement in the implementation of ex­ perimental and innovative programs such as the initial teaching alphabet and the Alpha program.

She subsequently earned a Master’s degree at the University of Colorado, and also has done graduate work at the University of Michigan, Michigan State University, Western Michigan University and Grand Valley State College. After four years as a classroom teacher, Jo was appointed to a reading teacher's postion in the fall of 1960, and has served the school system in that capacity ever since. "Her Delton board sets special meeting in wake of Monday’s millage defeat In the wake of Monday's millage defeat by voters in the Delton-Kellogg School District, the board of education has set a special meeting for 7 p.m. June 18 to determine the next course of action. Because voters turned down a single millage package to renew 21.1 mills and increase the tax levy by three mills, the district does not have any operational money, said Superintendent Dr. John San­ ders. "We’re very disappointed," he said of the defeat "It’s hard to say what motivated the voters (to reject the millage proposal) other than money." In the election, 775 voted against the proposal and 653 were in favor of the millage. Forty percent of the district’s 3,600 registered voters cast ballots in the election. Incumbent Vern Scotland newcomer Sally A. Mills were elected to four-year terms on board. Mills topped the balloting with 901 votes and Scott generated 795 votes. The other candidates were James T. Henry who received 583 votes and Clarence Hartwell who received 280 votes. Long-time board member Juliet Bourdo did not seek reelection. In business at the board’s regular Monday meeting, members authorized the lay off of five teachers in the district. Sanders said the lay offs are not related to the recent millage defeat, but were due to a “decline of enrollment and budget considerations." The teachers laid off by the board’s action are Paul Krajacic, sixth grade teacher; Zoe Rasmussen, middle school and elementary vocal music teacher; Martha Leach, third grade teacher; Carolyn Nycum, fourth grade teacher; and Debra Butterfield, remedial reading teacher. The selection of teachers authorized for lay off was based on seniority and need, said Sanders.

The loss of students also has created the district's current financial crunch which prompted the board to ask for the three additional mills which were defeated. The amount of money a school district receives from state aid is based upon student enrollment. A decline of 30-students means a loss of $60,000 or more in state aid, S. ders has said. "Good news" at Monday’s meeting was a report that the financial picture for the school’s federally funded Chapter I programs is brighter than expected. Sanders said the district will be receiving "more money than they told us we could expect” for such programs as reading improvement, remediation, math and counseling services for students in need. The district’s Chapter I program primarily focuses on the elemen­ tary and middle school levels with an em­ phasis on reading. Sanders said the school will receive $110,796 of Chapter I funds rather than the $66,000 it was told to expect. During the last school year, the district received $78,725 for Chapter I projects. The board rescinded all action pertaining to awarding a contract for electrical work that it had taken two weeks ago, finalizing contracts for the district’s energy conseration project. During the board’s May 29 meeting, members had awarded a contract to Thorn­ view Electric which was the low bid at $19,700 for electrical work on the project. However, Sanders said, another firm questioned the bidding process and the board decided to rescind its previous action to avoid any potential litigation even though “our attorney didn't say we were wrong."

The deadline for submitting new bids is June 25. The board has sought bi ds for the electrical work three different times because the original bids were more than the board wanted to spend on the project. Consequently the board scaled down its plans for the work to lower the cost. Ryan Electric of Lansing challenged the board on its method of obtaining the third round of bidding. “He (Ryan Electric) felt that the award was made without readvertisement,’’ Sanders said. "We had, in fact, sought a quote from him as well (after the second bidding)...The main problem was that even after we had reduced the project, his (Ryan's) costs went up.” Sanders said Ryan Electric was asked to submit a third bid, but that the firm insisted on sticking with its second bld. “So we went out to find some others (bids) end that's where we got into the gray area." The delay in obtaining an electrical con­ tract will not interfere with the start of other work on the conservation project because the electrical work will be involved later, he said. Construction work on the project by other contractors isaexpected to begin this week. The board heard a report from the Delton Athletic Boosters that the organization will be asking its members to approve a major project and several minor ones to benefit the school. As its major project, the Boosters want to fund improvements for softball facilities for girls and the summer recrea^on program. The group is proposing to relocate the softball diamonds, now located between the high school and Crooked Lake, to an area behind the middle school. When long balls are hit by players they end up in the lake, so Sanders said the Boosters hope to change the location of the diamonds and provide the means for leveling, seeding and fencing of the proposed area. Other projects proposed by the Boosters include building a new ticket booth at the south entrance of the football field, painting the football scoreboard, providing cement pads at various areas around the new track, and purchasing two gasoline-powered blowers to remove stones from the track and papers from under the bleacher area. The board approved retirement requests from Lilah Baske, elementary secretary, who will be retiring June 30 after 25-years of service; and to Charles Henson, custodian who ha~. been employed at the schools for 20years. Henson’s retirement was effective June 5. 9349 Broadmoor :j x service record, Jo is well-known and ap­ preciated by her colleagues and in the community, said Newman. BASKET JECTFRSSSS Caledonia.

Sports... at a glance by Steve Vedder Top 10 sports stories From the first kickoff last fall to the last relay race in early June, these were the top 10 stories for the five Barry County high schools this year: (1) Maple Valley wtes four SMAA titles — Without a doubt, this was the top story during the high school year. In an age when many schools are happy it they just win a couple of cham­ pionships, four Lion teams — golf, football, basketball and baseball — "ipped off SMAA championships during 1983-84. / Most of the credit must go to an unusually talented and gritty group of senior athletes. (2) Delian cage team wins district, fiatobes ninnentp fa KVA — Panther fans, used to building snowmen or skating during the winter, suddenly had quite a basketball team to root for last winter. The Panthers rose from years of mediocrity to finish behind only powerful Kalamazoo Christian in the KVA and then swept to its first district title in 30 years. It appears coach Pau) Blacken turned the entire program around in -a single year. (3) Brown picks ap where he left olt —There was no junior jinx for Hastings all-stater Mark Brown. The state’s leading scorer two years ago as a sophomore, Brown averaged 36.7 as a junior last season. Brown's exploits were the No. 1 story a year ago when nobody expected such a season, and he still rates as one of the county’s top stories this time around. After, all, how many two-time all-state basketball players has this area produced? (4) Saxon nine galas piece of baseball title — The only Hastings team to gain a share of a Twin Valley title was Bernie Oom’s baseball squad. The Saxons, who won their only previous Twin Valley title in 1979, complied 9-3 league and 30-7 overall marks this spring. The team featured one of the best one-two pitching combos in the school's history. Senior Jack Moore and junior George Sullivan together won 15 of 21 decisions. (5) Delton wrestlers win 19 duals, four tourneys — With little doubt, Delton's best-ever wrestling team posted a perfect 19-0 mark. In addition. the Panthers soared to fotr tournament wins at Galesburg-Augusta, Mid­ dleville, Hastings and Union City. The team finished eighth in the Class Bregionals and sent six people on to the state meet There, Dan Tobin wrestling al 155, won Delton's second ever state title. (8) Hastings softball team wins 23 games — Nobody in ?ny sport won as many games as the Hastings softball team last year. The Saxons, despite finishing only second in the Twin Valtey, compiled an outstanding 23-6 mark, easily setting a school record far wins. Only dtoapointing league losses to Albion and Harper Creek marred a banner season far Judy Andcrson'team. (7) Middlevile girls win regional title, post M dual mark — The best Middleville girls track team ever, the Trojans won all nine of their dual meets as well as the O-K Blue meet and Caledonia, Galesburg-Augusta, Delton and Barry County girls meets. The win woo a regional title qualifying 10 girls in eight events for the state meet. (8) Delton track team wins KVA meet, io duals Not to outdone, Delton's boys track team swept to a 1(H) dual meet record and a KVA title. The Panthers also won relays at Galesburg and Middleville and the boys division of the Barry County meet. Delton qualified six people for the state meet after having placed eighth in the Class B regional. (9) Atkinson girls named to Twin Valley basketball team — Between them, Paula and Amy Atkinson scored 38.7 points and averaged 17.4 rebounds on last fall's Hastings girls basketball team. Paula, a three-year letterman, was named to the all-Twin Valtey first team, white Amy, only a sophomore, was picked as a second team selection. (10) Behrenwald ends tremendous career — Sometimes sportswriters throw around too many colorful ad­ jectives but none would quite fit the career of Lakewood's Michelle Behrenwald. The Viking senior lettered for three years in volleyball and basketball and two years in softball. She was twice named tc the Tri River volleyball and basketball teams and was picked on the all-league softball league as a senior. �Th» Hostings Bonner — Thursday.

This past weekend was just about perfect. Temperatures were in the low 80’s during the day and high 50'8, low 60’s at night. Much of the same for the beginning Of this week but daytime temps are clim’iing into the high 80's now. A few thunderstorms last night but days are staying sunny and dry. Fishing: Good weather and great fishing what more could you ask for? Inland lake fishing is really starting to pick up. Water is warming rapidly, bass, bluegills, and crappie are in the shallows feeding actively and spawning. Good catches of channel catfish reported in area rivers - also pike success is picking up. Lake Michigan fishermen are enjoying these good days too, following is a report by port: SI. Joseph - Perch are hitting off the piers us’ng minnows and wlgglers. On the river­ side they are catching lots of sheephead on night crawlers and wlgglers. Brown trout also being taken on pieces of smelt. Charter boats are taking quite a few fish with a lot of steelhead in 90-200’ of water. Up the river some, bass fishermen are do ing real well and walleye success is increasing steadily. South Haven: Small to medium perch hitting off piers. Fair success out In the lake, boats are fishing in 38’ on the bottom for perch. Success is not as good for the big fish is it has been. Saugatuck: They are in 50-70 feet south of Saugatuck off the rocks and limit catches reported. A good mixture of Chinook, coho, steelhead and lake trout. The piers are also producing good numbers of just about every species. Still a little spotty on the perch. This warm weather should help things along m that category. Good bails at this port are silver strikers, hobos, and hot-n-tots. Bass action is picking iqj in the river and a few walleye being taken. Fisheries Division Update: Northern pike have been planted recently in a number of district 12 lakes. This is a new program proving both successful and economical so far. Northern pike fingerlings are being reared in Wolf Lane Hatchery and stocked in lakes with a history of previous stocking and populations decline for various reasons. This attempt to restore good pike fishing in these lakes is anticipated to con­ tinue and get better in the future. Walleye are looking good in the rearing 'marshes at Almena and Gun Lake. These fish should be ready for harvest in two to three weeks for planting throughout the district. Fish Division is hoping to expand their walleye program - Two new rearing ponds are expected to be in use next year and they are looking at constructing more of these poncte in the district.

Leroy Dunklee demanded exam Friday on a charge of attempted breaking and entering. That exam is set for. June 25. Bond is set at *2,500 or 10 percent According to Lt. Richard Zim­ merman of the Hastings state police team, Dunklee had broken out a win­ dow at the Orangeville M station June 9, at about 12:45 am. A Plainwell man, inaen'ified as Greg Patrick, observed the break-in and confronted Dunklee, who, according to Zimmerman, ••turned on Patrick." Zimmerman said Patrick hit Dunklee twice, knocking the suspect to the pavement. Dunidee was later treated at Borgess Hospital for a slight con­ cussion. Dunklee has filed an assault com-, plaint with the Barry County Sheriff Dept, against Patrick. However, the complaint has not yet been turned over the the co«-nty prosecutor ’s office.

Wacky Olympics highlight first week It may have been a far cry from this summer's Los Angeles Olympics, but the YMCA’s Tiny Tot program opened with a Wacky Olympics Day of its own last Thursday. Here, counselors Marvin Mason (pointing) and Mike Shaw (back) keep track of Tiny Tot competitors (from left) Jody Hickey, Adam Harris, Megan Oliver and Carrie Gasper. The Tiny Tot program has 25 youngsters enrolled and gives the children a chance to experience a half-day of what comp life is all about, (fcwwphoio) by Norma Acker The Hastings Board of Education voted 5-1 to adopt an *8.5 million budget at a special meeting, Thursday, after disagreement over a *5,600 allowance for freshman boys football and basketball programs. Board President George Wibalda voted against the adoption of the budget because of the provision for freshman athletics. Board member Larry Haywood did not attend the special meeting held in the conference room of the administration building. "It bothers my conscience at this time to support it,” Wibalda said. Retiring board member Judy Lenz voted for the budget, but said, “I’m still opposed to it (financing freshman athletics) but I'm more against the alternative which is fun­ draising.” Supt. Carl A. Schoessel told the board that the numbers in the budget are still estimates because the state aid package has not yet been finalized. Schoessel said that he felt “positively" about the budget. “There are a lot of things that will benefit students and citizens as a result of this budget,” he said. Schoessel said that even with ninth grade sports, the budget does still not offer a total athletic program because not all sports and coaching positions have been reinstated. “I just hope people don’t get hung up on one item,” he said. The new budget of *8,518,288 is *475,646 over the 1983-84 budget of *8,043,642. It includes a 4.3 percent salary increase for teachers, which was part of a wage con­ cession spreading a 9.4 percent increase across two years. A *73,483 increase in salaries is included in the budget to provide for new positions in counseling. English and social studies at the high school level. Another *72,500 is included for administrative salaries to cover the addition of a full-time principal at Southeastern Elementary School, a shared full-time assistant principal for the junior high school and high school and a full-time principal at Pleasantview Elementary School. An expenditure of *312,920 is earmarked for the purchase of textbooks, almost double the amount spent last year. Dr. James Atkinson, president of the Hastings Athletic Boosters, commenting on board approval of the budget, said that without freshman athletics students have a void in ninth grade after active participation in seventh and eighth grades. "It leaves the nine graders without anything as far as well attended sports." he said. “Their class as a whole doesn’t really have anything to rally around." Atkinson also said that because the fresh­ men have had to compete with sophmores in order to play on junior varsity teams, many have almost no chance of making the team and drop out. "The more freshman sports we can put in, the better it will be for the students and the community," he said. Delton to go after increase again Delton's Board of Education decided Monday night to present its proposed operational millage increase to district voters again and has scheduled the vote for Saturday, Aug. 18. Tlie decision came at a special meeting, held less than a week after Delton area voters turned down the same increase request by a narrow 775 ‘no’ votes to 653 ‘yes' votes. The proposed package will again seek 21.1 renewed mills, plus two additional operational mills and a mill for capital improvements, making it a 24.1-mill proposition Different this time around though will be the length sought. The board this time around has decided to seek a twoyear package rather than for the previous three-year one. Assistant Superintendent Dean McBeth said the board's decision came after much discussion among members and with per­ sons in the audience. "They're (board members) rationale for going with the same ballot proposal,” ex­ plained McBeth, "was that this was what the school district had felt was needed to ef­ fectively operate ard they felt it was still needed." He said that the administration had gotten together with the board's finance committee during the past week and gone over ways of Council woman to resign post Hastings City Councilperson Mary Spackman said she will probably announce her resignation when the council next meets June 25. Spackman. 420 N. Congress, represents the first ward, but will be moving to a house on W. State Rd. in the third ward. "I'll still be interested in city government, and 1’11 still be around," said Spackman. "Il’s just a matter of getting into a smaller place. We now live in a seven-room tri-level home, and we just don't need that much room." Spackman was elected in 1981 to a fouryear council term, and she has served 24 years, since assuming her duties in January, 1982. She is presently the council s finance committee chairman. Spackman declined to say if she would seek election from the third ward. Prior to joining the council, Spackman served seven years on the Hastings City Planning Commission. She has also been president of the Hastings Chamber of Commerce, and has been involved on the YMCA board. She is presently employed as assistant vice president and branch manager of Great Lake Federal Savings in Hastings. She and her husband have three children, all grown: David, 41, of Houston, Dr. Clair Spackman, 38. a veterinarian presentlyliving in St. Paul, Minn., and Karen Spack­ man. 36, also of St. Paul. meeting a budget based on only a 21.1 mill renewal. "The difference between just a renewal and the three-mill increase is *355,200 out of an estimated *5 million budget," said Mc­ Beth. “There are ways of cutting this and many different options were explored, in­ cluding across-the-board cuts in personnel and cuts in specific areas. “This list was presented to the entire board Monday," McBeth said, "and the members decided they didn’t want to do this. They didn't feel this (makingcuts in personnel and programs) was in the best interest of the students. Plus, they felt that there have already been a lot of cuts made in personnel during the recent past." • McBeth said another consideration was the turnout of 1428 voters for the June 12 election, well below the approximately 6500 registered voters in the district “The board feels it can pass the increase by getting out more voters," he explained. “We need to convince them of two things," he added. “One. that this increase is needed and two. that it is not exorbitant." • Speaking on the latter point, McBeth pointed out that some neighboring school districts have budgets of *7-to-*8 million. "We feel we have been and are being responsible to our taxpayers," he said. McBeth said discussion during the Mondaynight session covered various options. “Some in the audience felt the board wasn't giving them a choice by combining the proposals." he noted. Sherwood heads state bankers association Robert W. Sherwood, chairman and president of the National Bank of Hastings, was elected president of the Michigan Bankers Association this week at the group': annual convention being held at the Grand Hotel on Mackinac Island. He will serve a one-year term. Other officers elected to serve with Sherwood were Daniel R. Smith, president of First of America Bank Corporation in Kalamazoo, as first vice-president; Lyle McKinley, president of Citizens National Bank of Cheboygan, as second vicepresident; and Donald J. Smallcombe, chairman and president of the First National Bank, Three Rivers as treasurer. Sherwood first joined the board of National Bank of Hastings in 1964. He was elected president of the bank and began devoting his full time to its management in 1965. Previously, Sherwood had operated the Sherwood Insurance Agency in Hastings. He has been involved in bankers association activities for many years. He has been a piember of the association’s executive council since 1977 and he has been a member of the governing council of the American Bankers Association. Sherwood has also been active in Hastings civic affairs throughout his career. He was Robert Sherwood president of the Hastings Area Chamber of Commerce in 1953 and president of the local Kiwanis Club in 1956. He has also served as secretary of the Barry County Republican Com­ mittee. He has been a longtime member of the board of directors of the Hastings YMCA and served as that association's president in 1975. Election brings new faces into political scene Three new Democratic faces and a Republican who narrowly lost a race for county- commissioner two years ago are seeking election to county- offices. Democrat Harvey Knapp of 189 E. Shore Dr.. Hickory Corners, in Prairieville Township will face incumbent county Commissioner Rae Hoare in the August 7 primary. Knapp. 58, has been a resident of that area since 1960. He was employed for nearly 30 years at Eaton Corporation in Kalamazoo, where he was a layout inspector, and will be retiring in September. Knapp was president of the Kalamazoo Labor Council for six years and served as president of the Allied Industrial Workers. Region 7. He has been president of the In­ dustrial Relations Research Association, a labor-management group in southwest Michigan. Knapp served on theexecutive board of the state AFL-CIO for seven years. He has also been involved in United Way. the federal CETA program and was one of the original members of the Kalamazoo Private Industry- Council (PIC), overseeing a new federal jobs program Knapp currently serves on the board of directors of the Family Health Center in Kalamazoo, a health care treatment center tor low income and elderly. “I think I could do some good." Knapp says of his desire to be a commissioner "I've worked with CETA boards and had ex­ perience with various groups where I've had to work with people from both purties.” Ee says that the big issues of any election are taxes and maintaining services that are necessary. He says that you always find people who are interested in getting aid for various services, but financing must be a consideration and priorities must be based on need. Republican Cathy Williamson. 41, of 9550 Green Lake Rd., Middleville is making her second try for county commissioner. She lost to James Gurdon in the 1982 election by 140 votes out of 2,390 cast. Williamson will face Democrat Regina Stein of Middleville in the November election. She is a past president of the Barry-Eaton Board of Realtors and is currently a director of the Michigan Association of Realtors. She chaired the political affairs committee for fhe Michigan association and is currently chairman of the government affairs com­ mittee of the Grand Rapids Real Estate Board. She also has been president of the Mid­ dleville Women's Reading Club and has been active in the Red Cross. Williamson has been named Realtor associate of the year for the state, the Grand Rapids Real Estate Board and the BarryEaton Real Estate Board. "I've been very interested in what's happening locally." Williamson says. “Our office has done a lot with economic development corporations and I think there is a need for that type of thing in the county. As commissioner I could promote in­ volvement in that type of thing....I've seen loo many jobs leaving Barry County.’ She says that because of the grow th in the Middleville area, it should be represented by a positive thinking person, willing to work with local units of government, assisting area businesses and attracting new bus in esses. She says that economic development corporation financing can get bogged down in paperwork, especially since the county lias no county manager to handle it. Rosezelta Haywood McMellen. 52. of 767 N. Airport Rd., is seeking the post of register of deeds as a Democrat. Two eandidates have filed on the Republican side. Sandy Schondelmayer of Middleville and Mark Haines of Hastings. They will face off in the August primary. McMellen has worked at the Hastings JCPenney store for seven years in sales and Continued on page 2 �Tho Hastings Banner—Thursday. June 21, 1984, Page 2 VIEWPOINT Eileen Oehler, city librarian retires Commentonee from our editorial Haff and the community - Editorial Talking politics: Where are the Democrats? Several months ago this column took a look at the rising number of Democrats here as indicated by the growing number of Democratic office holders and Democratic votes cast for governor and congressmen in the county. It seems clear to us that the Democrats, for some time, are going to be a strong political force in local government, a sharp contrast to the picture just a few years ago. But after attending a monthly legislative breakfast sponsored by the Hastings Area Chamber of Commerce, last week, one of our staffers raised a good question. Where are the Democrats? The purpose of the legislative breakfasts is to offer local people a once-a-month update on the issues heing debated at the state level and to give the legislators some direct feedback on the views of the people. The chamber’s intention was to create an exchange of viewpoints from different segments of the community, such as business, farming, labor, and special interest groups. Rep. Robert Bender and Sen. Robert Welborn always attend and ether officeholders and candidates have also taken the opportunity to sit in on the sessions. Unfortunately, the citizens participating look like the cheering section for the Republican Party. For the most part the gathering consists of some of our county officers, some Republican township officers, some Republican Party workers, a few school officials and some local interested citizens, many of whom have a particular cause to promote. The one-sidedness of the group gives the legislators and many of the citizens a chance to go unchallenged in criticizing Gov. Blanchard, Democratic House and Senate leaders, politicians from Detroit, welfare programs, overpriced unem­ ployment and workers’ compensation programs and union lobbyists. Seldom is there a true exchange of ideas as the people nod in agreement with the legislators’ views and the legislators nod back as they hear the same viewpoints bounced back to them. Our question is, why don’t the Democrats turn out at these events? A public forum of this type would give them a chance to convey their views directly to their legislators and also allow other citizens to know the positions of their party. The Democrats claim over 400 dues paying members in the county and in 1982 Gov. Blanchard received 6,892 votes in Barry County, more votes than there are people in Hastings. Yet nobody ever turns out to present the Democratic point of view to their state officeholders— not the four Democratic county commissioners, Democratic township officers or Democratic Party leaders. All of these people have a direct interest in the issues being debated in Lansing and the legislation being approved. Some of them are also good speakers who could present the Democratic viewpoint with clarity. The legislative breakfasts are not Republican gatherings, they are an op­ portunity for legislators and constituents to meet face-to-face on a regular basis. . The public is invited no matter what their colors are. The breakfasts are held at McDonald's restaurant in Hastings at 8 a!m. the second Monday of every month, sponsored by the Hastings Area Chamber of Commerce, a community service organization. We’d like to see county Democratic Chairman Bob Edwards lead a regular contingent of Democrats to the breakfasts so that the gatherings become more an exchange of ideas between legislators and citizens than a unanimous roasting of Democratic policies. Old legislative districts back The only candidate to file against State Rep. Robert Bender, R-MiddleviUe, is now out of the 88th District because of a state Supreme Court ruling, yesterday, that the new districts in place since April are un­ constitutional. Eric Reyff of 8143 W. State Rd., Mid­ dleville, a Thomapple Township resident, had filed as a Democrat for the 88th District seat. Reyffs residence is now outside of the 88th District, which will revert to the boundaries of the 1982 election. Reyff could not be reached for comment The state legislature had attached an amendment to an elections bill late in 1983 creating new legislative districts. House and Senate Democrats pushed the measure through before the Democrats lost control of the Senate after special elections in November. The new districts went into effect in April. Tuesday, the state Supreme Court upheld a circuit court ruling that the boundaries were unconsitutional because they were created by an amendment not germane to the original bill. "The reapportionment amendment changed the intent of the bill and you are not allowed to do that,” Bender explained in commenting on the ruling. Bender said that the legislature is ex­ pected to set the filing deadline for the new districts at 4 p.m., June 28, but that was not finalized at press time. The 88th District, as it stands for the primary, includes all of Ionia County and all of Barry County except for Thornapple and Yankee Springs townships. The district had been changed to include only the southern portion of Ionia County, all of Barry County and portions of Allegan County. 'The Supreme Court also made a provision that the legislature has isitil July JO to come up with another redistricting plan, but that’s not even going to be attempted," Bender said.

Democrat John J. Loftus, 55, of 4104 Johnson Rd., Middleville, is challenging Drain Commissioner Audrey Burdick for that post. Loftus has been employed at Fisher Body in Grand Rapids for 36 years. He is a charter member of the Hastings Elks Lodge and a member of the Hastings Moose Lodge. He is also a lifetime member of both the VFW and the Non-commissioned Officers Association, and a member of the Ancient Order of Hibernians. AmVets and the UAW. He says that he would bring “good com­ monsense" to the drain commissioner’s post and has an ability to listen and think things out before “jumping too far.” "I’m running to give the citizens a chance to make a choice," he says. «X Banner] Send form P.S. 3579 to P.O.

Eileen Oehler Oe^er’ tbe head librarian for the City of Hastings has retired, after ser­ ving ten years here. Library board and staff members held a retirement party for Oehler June 15, her last day, and presented her with travel luggage, and a gift certificate to Books, Etc. Oehler said she plans to remain in the Barry County area, and to take time to travel. Her retirement officially begins in late August. A native of Lansing, Oehler attended Lansing public and Lutheran Church schools, where she was one of four all-A graduate of her class of 363. She later graduated magna cum laude from Michigan Stale University with a degree in English. Oehler also holds two master's degrees from the University or Michigan, in library science and English and literature. Oehler has taught high school English and Spanish in Alma, was a teacher-librarian in Lake Odessa, and taught eighth grade in an Air Force dependent's school in London England, and later English at Flint Community Junior College. Oehler has held professional library jobs in public libraries in Baltimore, Van Buren County, and Hastings, and she has worked as head of reference at the State Library in Lansing, as a junior college library director m Ann Arbor, and in high school libraries in Dexter and Springport. She is a member of three college honor societies, and a past member of Delta Kappa Gamma Women’s education honor society. In addition, Oehler has also been named in whos Who in American Education between 1965 to 1969. "I don’t think the library board could find another librarian like her," said Councilman Esther Walton, the city’s liaison to the library board. "She never used a sick day in the 10 years she was here, and she did an excellent job in helping the library patrons with reference and research.” "The board appreciates Eileen's 10 years of service," said Linda Lincolnhol, library board president. "We hope to continue the tradition that was set by her of service to the public." A 23-year-old Battle Creek man who ad­ mitted to driving the getaway vehicle in 13 burglaries in Barry County was sentenced Friday to 6 to 15 years in prison. “I am sorry for the things I have done. I have changed my life," said Donald Francis Murphy, as he clutched a bible behind his back, prior to sentencing. Barry-Eaton Circuit Court Judge Hudson E. Deming told Murphy that in passing sentence he would take into account all 13 burglaries Murphy had admitted to, even though he was only charged with two. x The judge further noted that one of the victims’ homes had been ransacked during the break-in. “I hope the lady who cleaned up the house reads the newspaper account of your sentencing to see she's been repaid for the mess caused by you and your ilk," said Deming. Group investigating the re-opening of 4-H camp An ad hoc committee, comprised of members from the 4-H Council, the Algonquin Lake Association, and other in­ terested parties, in cooperation with lhe Barry County Board >f Commissioners, has been working on re-opening the county's campground that’s located on that lake’s north shore Known as the 4-H Camp, the county-owned facility had formerly been managed by the 4H Council and was used as a campground by 4-Hers from around the state. The camp, however, has not been in use recently. County Commissioner James Gordon said that the committee, which he is a member of, has been working in two areas. One is to determine the cost estimates involved in bringing the facility— which hhs a pool and overnight lodgings— up-to-date LETTERS to the Editor. Council member blasts editorial To the Editor: The Banner, once again, has lashed out against two public bodies — the school board and the Hastings City Council. I would like to respond to the attack against the City Council. The Banner editorial claims that a Banner reporter was refused a request for the exact amount of the city’s unappropriated surplus by a member of the City Council, that under the Freedom of Information Act, people have a right to immediate and full disclosure of all information not exempted by state law, and that newspapers become enforcers of the act, since, by implication, newspapers become the advocates of open government on behalf of the people. That all sounds quite noble, and a denial of information certainly would appear rather sinister. But, let’s examine what really happened. The Banner reporter in question has been covering City Council meetings for quite some time, perhaps as long as a year Each month, the Council approves lhe monthly balance sheets, as was normal procedure al the Council meeting in question. This balance sheet is available to coun­ cilmembers. media, the public, and is available for any interested person to read. Write us a letter! 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. and ready tor use. The second is to determine ’who' would use the facility— the general public, various organizations, or a specific organization. Gordon said the committee is also “looking at setting up an agreement between the county as owner its parks and recreation committee as manager, and the 4-H council and co-operative extension service as tenants”. "There are a number of possibilities on how to use the park,” said Gordon, "and the committee is looking into those options. The board of commissioners, at Gordon’s recommendation, approved an expenditure of up to 1500 to do some general maintenance work on the camp buildings. The work will be done by volunteers from the committee. Murphy is charged with two counts of brraking and entering of a Lacey Rd. residence. He is to serve his sentence at the ^Juthern Michigan Prison in Jackson Murphy received 45 days credit for time The exact amount ot unappropriated surplus appears in each and every monthly balance sheet, and has always appeared on a monthly basis. A claim by the reporter in question that he lias been denied specific information that is available at his fingertips on a monthly basis would certainly lead me to wonder if the reporter has any kind of understanding of what he is reporting. And when a newspaper editorializes against a public body for denial of information when it is available monthly, it diminishes any claim that The Banner stands as a guarefian of the interest of the people. Instead, I question the caliber and understanding capacity of the staff reporter ■who is charged with the duty of keeping the public properly informed. The editorial's claim to the right of im­ mediate and full disclosure of all information not exempted by state law would imply that information should be available at the snap of a reporter's fingers. The actual law that lhe editorial refers to provides that “when a public body receives a request for a public record, it shall immediately but not more than five business days after the day the request is received... respond to the request...’’ Under unusual circumstances, an extension of "not more than 10 business days" is available to the public body. Lastly, had The Banner reporter actually been denied information under the Freedom of Information Act, by the very law the L editorial quotes, lhe denial would have to ® originate... "in writing, from the chief ad­ ministrative officer”. Such written denial does not exist. The Banner editorial further chastises the Council that they should never assume that citizens are not fit to understand budgets and government. The Banner, the newspaper that purports to be the advocate of open government on behalf of lhe people, an enforcer of the Freedom of Information Acl. played the major part in misinforming people in this instance. Public bodies already face challenges of Olympiad proportion in balancing budgets, securing grants and serving all the needs of the people, without being dealt a disservice of lhe magnitude that The Banner leveled at Council officials in lhe last editorial. 1 suggest that if The Banner truly desires lo be the guardian of the interest of the people, you start by staffing public meetings with reporters who have a basic knowledge of public bodies, a working knowledge of the governmental process, a sound un­ derstanding of lhe budget procedure and a little more investigative savvy than simply posing candid questions in order to finish writing a council story. Only then will The Banner accomplish its purpose and only then will citizens truly be educated, properly informed, and understand the correct con­ cept of lhe inner workings of their closest elective process. Banner, you owe the Council and your readers an apology.

Luther was also ordered to maintain a midnight to 6 a_m. curfew, and to seek and maintain gainful employment. Noel Richard Begerow, 25, Lake (Mhw pleaded guilty to a felony charge of at­ tempted larceny from a vehicle, as part of an agreement with prosecutors.

State Representatives Paul Hillegonds (RHolland) and Bob Bender (R-Middleville) introduced legislation Wednesday placing parent block programs under existing law to protect these volunteers from civil suits arising out of an injury suffered by a child seeking help. “Parents in school districts throughout the state signify their willingness to help children who may be frightened by someone who is following them, or may be ill or scared of a dog, by taping a house or 'helping hand' symbol in their windows," Hillegonds said. “Yet there is a growing concern among districts’ legal advisors that the parents and the district itself might be sued if a child trips on the front steps or otherwise injures himself when he goes to a house for help. This bill place, parent block programs where they belong in the law — under the 'good Samaritan act’.** Student named to list A Hastings studeht has been named Io the spring quarter dean's list at Ball State University. Michael R. Carlson, of 825 W. Madson, is a junior. To qualify for the dean's list, an undergraduate must earn a grade point average of 3.6 to 4.0 and carry 12 or more hours of academic work for college credit. Local student graduates A Hastings student was among the 148 students granted degrees last month at Findlay College in Ohio. Julalne Burchett, of 2717 E. Dowling Rd., Hastings, was awarded a BA in Business AdministrationEquestrian Studies. INVEST IN THE BEST Bender explained that parents par­ ticipating in the block programs who in good faith render emergency assistance to school children would not be liable for civil damages resulting from an action on their part or an ommisslon. “However, they would be liable for gross negligence or willful and wanton miscon­ duct,'* he continued. "But the point is that one or two lawsuits in a particular district could mean the end of a valuable program that protects children from molesters and adds another dimension of neighborhood safety." The issue was taised by the attorney for Plainwell High School who expressed con­ cern over the possibility that the district could be held legally accountable for in­ juries. "Our goal isn't government intrusion into a program that works well," Hillegonds said. "It's to provide some necesssary legal protection so valuable volunteers will con­ tinue to bn good Samaritans to the children who rely on them." 7th GRADE 4.0- Lynn Barcroft, Diane Dykstra, Derek Perris, Aaron Moskelik, Stacey Pierce, Trina Slagslad, Christopher Tracy, Yvette Vargaz, Nancy Vitale. 3.5-3.09 - Mark Carlson, Tammy Chaffee, Terry Dibell, Angie Ehredt, Jimmy Field, Jamie Garrett, Brian Gordon, Melinda Hare, Paul Hare, Jason Hart, Joseph Krammin, Marc Lester, Julie Lord, Darcie Lowell, Douglas Maurer, Gary Parker, Kristina Potter, Debra Tiglas, Traci Titus, Christopher Todd, Paul Van Ameyden, Wendi Wallace, Cassie Ward, Alexandra Warren, Melinda Williams, Chad Zim­ merman. 3.0-3.49 - Thom Andersen, Amy Bancroft, Christine Benedict, Corey Bozarth, Adam Burr, Lenny Case, David Clouse, Victor Connor, Celeste Cook, Lesley Diperl, Denise Ellis, Abby Forbes, Georgia Griner, Melissa Gross, Peter Hauschild, Jennifer Jacobs, Tracy Johncock, Stacy Jordan, Steven Jordan, Paul Katsul, Chris Keizer, Erin Keller, Jennifer King, Jason Laderc, Jim Lenz, Laura Lenz.

This "changing of the guard” was part of the approved plan and specified that the oversight committee — comprised of predetermined representation — replace the original group once the plan was ready to go. The new group's responsibilites are to set up criteria for future lancJill sites, handle applications for such sites, promote recycling efforts, educate the public and government officials on solid waste problems, and overview the Barry-Eaton Health Dept., the agency which will handle the implementation and enforcement of the plan. The exchange of responsibilites between the groups is not an aburpt one though since four of the nine new committee members were also on original planning group. They include V. Harry Adrounie, Wayne Miller, Barbara Furrow, and Ernest Ball. Adrounie, elected as the group's chairman, represents the professional and en­ vironmental sector; Furrow, named as vice chairman, represents the private sector; and Ball, selected as secretary, represents the villages in the county. Others on the oversight committee are Wayne Miller, representing the county townships; Mike Klavonich, representing the City of Hastings; Ken Bohn, representing the county planning commission; Robert Shaffer, representing the health depart­ ment; and Stephen Scott, representing the road commission. Steve Essling, an employee of the health department, has been named as contact person at that office. The now installed oversight committee for the solid wait plan, which will administer It, includes (from left) Ken Bohn, Robert Shaffer, Steve Essling, V. Harry Adrounie. Wayne Miller. Barbara Furrow, Mike Klavonlch, Stephen Scott, and Ernest Boll. The original solid waste planning committee, which is the process of disbanding, includes (seated, from left) Ernest Ball: Barbara Furrow; V. Harry Adrounie. chairman; Ken Neil, vice chairman; Bob Henry; and (standing, from left) Bill DeBoer, secretary; Brian Pufpaff; Jim Gordon; Wayne Miller; and Richard Landon. Adrounie noted that the planning com­ mittee still has some business to finish before disbanding. “We’ll stay in effect until we get our funding settled with the Dept, of Natural Resuurses." he elaborated. “We’ll still be doing some of the public education on the plan until those funds are used up.” The solid waste project came about as a result of Public Act 641, passed by the state legislature, which requires each county to specifically outline its disposal of solid wastes. "In that plan" said Adrounie, “there needed to be a five-year short-term outline for disposal and a 20-year long-term outline." The completed plan, once it was finished by the working committee, then had to meet approval from the 16 townships, the munincipalities, the county commissioners, and the Dept, of Natural Resources. All of those approvals were given and last Sep­ tember the plan became the law of the county. Adrounie noted that it was the second one approved in the state. Under the plan, the Hastings Sanitary Landfill is the stipulated disposal site in the county for solid wastes. Attention Hastings Area Business Customers: DON’T BE MISLED...

June 21. 1984, Page 7 Directors say Hastings City Band important by Ken Relbel Two of the three persons who will be directing the Hastings City Band during its three concert this summer said the city needs a band. "We think it’s important because it gives some of the adult members in the community a chance to play, the people who played in high school but no longer have an outlet for that activity," said Joan Schroeder and Joseph LeJoye. Schroeder and LeJoye, w.» this past year assumed duties as band directors for Hastings Area Schools, estimated it will lake 20 hours to assemble band members, and for rehearsals and actual concerts Schroeder said concerts will last 45 minutes to an hour, and consist of "light music”, which she characterized as popular show tunes, marches, fun, traditional, and light, popular music. “It will be fun music, and will not consist of heavy programs," said Schroeder. Efforts to form the band are being led by Dr. Lynn McConnell, who played in the city band before it disbanded two years ago. Schroeder said the band needs 40 musicians to make a go of it. "We will need at least 40 players. We encourage anyone *ho wants to play with any instruments. We especially need trumpet players". Schroeder said the band specifically needs woodwind, brass and percussion players.

"We’re interested in Hastings, and we're interested in concert opportunities for Hastings, and opportunities for the people in Hastings to use their musical skills," she added. The summer of 1982 was the first time in 35 years that Hastings did not have a city band. The band, which was first organized in 1857, may be the oldest tradition in Hastings. Though few records are known to exist of the band, it is known that it gave concerts on the courthouse lawn in the 1890s. One of the major milestones of the Hastings City Band came in 1934, when the city actually passed a special millage to pay its musicians and to buy sheet music. Back in those days, the band generally played 10 concerts a summer, usually on the cour­ thouse lawn. In the 1900s, the band began to draw more and more from high school talent. In the 1971 centennial edition ol the history of the City ot Hastings, Howard Frost and Bud Wolfe, two mainstays of the band, wrote “Many of the older members of the band of the 30s have passed on and all of the school members have gone out into life to enter the professions, business, or the general labor force..." In those days, it was noted, if the school band was strong, then the city band was strong. McConnell said it was lack of leadership that stopped the music. "Throughout the 70s. we experienced steady leadership. We had the same officers for about 12 years.” However, in the late 70s. a few of the mainstays moved on, retired, or died. McConnell said another reason for the decline of the band, leading to its demise in the past two summers, was the decline of the high school music program, "and the lack of high school students willing to play for a token sum." In the long run. it may be the passage of the school millage last fall that revived the band. Through those monies, Hastings Area Schools were able to hire two music direc­ tors. who in turn are donating their time, efforts and special talent to make music for the people of Hastings.

Blood drive set for this Friday The Barry County Red Cross has an­ nounced that a blood drive is scheduled for Friday. June 22, from 11 a.m. until 5 p.m. at the Leason-Sharpe Hall in Hastings. A goal of 100 units of blood has been set for this drive. The need for blood is constantly increasing and every 17 seconds someone in the United States needs blood. Becoming a donor is not a difficult experience. A potential donor needs only to visit the collection site where their questions will be answered and their donation collected by experienced, professional volunteers. The actual process of donating blood takes approximately ten minutes and the total visit about one hour. The average adult has about lO-to-12 pints of blood in his or her body. The amount donated is soon replaced by the body. Red Cross Blood Service chairpersons Margaret Keeler and Carol Stuart have extended an invitation to the residents of Barry County to visit the collection site and become blood donors. “Blood comes only from people and it cannot be manufactured. Your gift of blood could mean life for a sick child, an accident victim, or a person facing surgery,” they said. The next blood drive in Hastings is scheduled for August 9 at the Leason-Sharpe Hastings student wins scholarship David Hooker, a Hastings High School senior, has received the John Meisenbach Memorial Scholarship.

As usual, the food was delicious and there was lots of it. G. R. McMillen is in St. Mary’s Hospital in by Catherine Lucas Grand Rapids recovering trom surgery which was performed last week. Mrs. Mc­ Millen says that the doctors are optimistic about the surgery and believe that he will recover.

She will fly to California later in the summer. Several Woodland residents were seen al the Mulliken Masonic Beef and Noodle Dinner Sunday. Among them were LaVerne and Jean Roberts and granddaughter Hastings valedictorian gives thoughts on destiny of youth Kathleen Delnay, a recent Hastings High School senior, was recognized recently for her academic and extra curricular activities by the Hastings Exchange Club. With her parents Richard and Xancy Delnay In at­ tendance. Kathleen received' the "Student of the Month" award from the club. As part of the selection process, a student must write an assay on the subject of "Youth’s Destiny". Below is Kathleen’s thoughts on that subject. ‘Youth’s Destiny’... by Kathleen Delnay Over two centuries ago, the settlers of this country won their freedom from an arbitrary and repressive government. They secured the right to establish their ow n government, based on equal representation and the preservation of individual rights and freedoms. Since -that time, democracy and op­ portunity based on individual effort have been the foundations of our society. As a result of the many sacrifices of our forebearers and present fellow citizens, we retain this heritage of a free and meaningful voice in our government. We possess the opportunity to become an important part in the advancement of our nation: in our government, in business, in new technologies, but the maintenance of a democratic society is a continuing respon­ sibility. It is easy to be selfish, but a true American must personally feel a responsibility to the whole of society and work for its good. We must protect and preserve our resources, our environment, and our democratic way of life for ourselves and those who follow after us. Immigrants, our ancestors, came to this country with nothing but their meager possession^ and the memory of the homes they left behind. "Yearning to breathe free", they sought a land of opportunity, and they made this country their new home. Opportunity... it is the pivot of America's responsibility to its youth. Without op­ portunity. there is no hope of advancement, no hope to better ourselves or our society. An education is the greatest opportunity freely offered to the youth of this country. It is the responsibility of the individual to make full use of this privilege. In learning, we improve ourselves and. in bettering ourselves and working together, we preserve and improve our society and our country. Democracy and opportunity are everything to the youth of America. It is the responsibility of today's youth to be vigilant and work to preserve and pass on the rights, freedoms and opportunities given us. Out country and the world have many serious problems which must be solved and probably many more Io come. We "can" find solu-.ions if we rise above our selfishness and work both individually and together. We are thankful to live in this country which has such beauty in its lands, its people, and its ideals of freedom and opportunity. May it ever remain "the land of the free and Kathleen Delnay of Hastings shows off the plaque she received from the Hastings Exchange Club for being named as its "Student of the Month”.

Paul Gieger was honored * the "Father of the Year" at Woodland United Methodist Church on Father's Day. Both of his sons and daughters-in-law, three yMbuus and one granddaughter attended the service.

He will hold his first service in Woodland on SUhday, June 24. The Father's Day service at Kilpatrick Brethren Church was greatly enhanced by guest singers "Monty and Terese” from Battle Creek. They stayed in the area all day and sang at a special gospel sing in Lake Odessa Village Park on Sunday evening. Jodi Farm an also sang at the evening sing in the park.

June 21. 1984, Page 10 Aud’s Antics... This Week Featuring... Marlene Karpinski If Marlene Karpinski ever decided to shuck her job in the clothing store busines. she could probably join the circus and become a first-rate juggler. Marlene already possesses many of those traits associated with a juggler...sort of. Marlene, wife of Hastings Athletic Director Bill Karpinski, works five days a week al “The Ollier Place" in Hastings and acts as sort of unofficial traffic cop for two sons and a daughter still living at home on South Broadway. Besides juggling her own somewhat hectic schedule. Marlene must also coordinate the activities of a husband who spends most of his time poking about high school athletic events, and her three children, all of which lead active lives themseives. Despite the schedules, which of course can never be the same. Marlene sees to it her family has something decent to eat almost every night. "They love to eat." says Marlene of her family. "But with this sports-minded family it gets tough to keep track of arrivals and departures." The Karpinski family features John. 21; Mike. 15; and Jackie. 22; al home, as well as a married daughter, Debbie. It is a family which has always been heavily intosports with John, a 1982 Hastings graduate, and Mike, a sophomore in the fall, both being excellent three-sport athletes. Jackie, who recently graduated from Bemidji College in Minnesota, was a Saxon cheerleader during high school. Toss in a father who doubles as an athletic director, and the family consistently finds itself either playing or watching various sports all four seasons. As can be expected. Marlene admits to being a longtime sports fan. In fact her two hobbies, attending an aerobic-like exercise class called "Della's Dance Fit” as well as most any kind of dancing, both can be traced to her heavy sports background. “1 particularly like football and the Dallas Cowboys. Whenever they're playing I'm right there,” she says. "You can imagine what it's like around here on Sundays in the fall. But that's been our way of life." Coming up with an eating schedule to accommodate five is about as easy as buying enough bananas for King Kong. For in­ stance, Bill usually spends up to 10-12 hours a day at school while Mike will be playing one sport or another every season of the year. In addition, the schedules of John and Jackie must also be taken into account. "Fall is probably the easiest time for us." says Marlene. “Then winter and spring. Don't get her wrong, though. Marlene isn't complaining. "H’s harder on them than me— I'm here." she says. "1 just want to make sure they have something warm and good to eat." To make sure they have something nutritious to eat, Marlene often spends her morning — she doesn't have to be al work until noon — making that evening's dinner. She tries to cook a well-balanced meal one day while hamburgers and hot dogs may head the next night's menu. Like any mother, she doesn't escape a complaint every so often. "They’re not too picky,” smiles Marlene when asked of her family culinary tastes. "Once in a while I’ll fix something one of the others won't like. "I do what I can ahead of time. Some meals can be done in parts and pul together when I come home.” Marlene likes to relate the story of making her meatball sandwiches for a basketball party. It seems one of the players, Jim Shuster, became so attached to the sand­ wiches that night he quickly downed six of them. "Now.” says Marlene, ”1 can’t look at a meatbail sandwich without thinking of him. Glass: an important part of history Marlene Karpinski cuts up the tomatoes, onions and green peppers that go into her sauce for her meatball sandwich recipe. Marlene, wife of Hastings Athletic Director Bill Karpinski, says that while her family leads a very active life, she tries to make sure they eat a decent meal at dinner. One of her family's favorites is the meatball sandwich. "It is lough to eat just one and I’m a big eater." Marlene Karpinski’s Meatbail Sandwich ingredients 2 lbs. of ground beef 2- 3 slices of bread 3- 4 tablespoons parmesan cheese 1 egg I cup onion salt, pepper, garlic salt Soak break in milk or water, squeeze out liquid and pull apart in small parts and work evenly through the ground beef. Add the rest of the ingredients and mix well. Roll into 1 to I’a balls and fry. Meatball sauceconsists of tomatoes, green pepper and onion that were stewed together (about an hour), cooled, and then frozen during the summer. Add meatballs to 1-2 quarts of stewed tomato mixture. If the sauce is too thin, add tomato paste untiit the right texture is reached. Add 3-4 large bay leafs and cook on low heat for two hours. Spoon on submarine buns and sprinkle with lots of grated mozzarella cheese. Put under broiler just long enough to melt the cheese. Also, fried onion can be added to the top. The receipe tastes best when prepared a day ahead. Meatball receipe yields about 151 18 meatballs per pound of ground beef or enough for 7-8 submarine sandwiches per two pounds.

Figure Eight Demo Derby While Michigan tourism operators can expect a four to seven percent jump in business during the Fourth of July week, that increase should not result in major traffic jams on state highways, reports the Automobile Club of Michigan. “The reason is this 30-hour holiday falls on a Wednesday, keeping long-distance travel during that period to a minimum," said Auto Club's Travel Operations Manager James Drury. Drury added that the busiest travel periods headed north will be on the Fridays before and after July 4, with southbound traffic expected to be heavy both Sundays surrounding the holiday. In addition, a surge of traffic will head home from resort areas Monday, July 9. Advance reservations and inquiries for recreational and travel activity for the 30hour period indicate that campgrounds, dayuse parks and recreational sites should do brisk business, with few turn-away crowds due to the mid-week holiday. The Michigan Department of Tran­ sportation estimates motorists will log 300 million miles on state roads during the 30hour July 4th holiday, 7 percent more than the 280 million miles driven during the last 30-hour period in 1979. Over the last 78-hour Memorial Day weekend, stale motorists traveled 720 million miles. The holiday officially runs from 6 p.m. Tuesday (July 3) to midnight Wednesday <July 4). An Auto Club check of 10 resort area chambers of commerce shows eight expect heavy activity, most notably from July 4th through Sunday. Many resort-area motels contacted reflected that same trend. Many private campgrounds should fill for the holiday, but space is expected for campers in all areas of the state. Heaviest state park campground pressure is expected the weekend following July 4 although the entire week should be busy. Parks expecting to be busiest include those in southeast Michigan and along the Lake Michigan shore. The last 30-hour July 4 holiday occurred in 1979, when 12 persons died on Michigan roads. Of the nine at-fault drivers, eight were known or suspected of drinking. The Auto Club points out that the most dangerous place to drive this holiday will be in familiar surroundings. Ail of the drivers involved in fatal accidents over the 1979 July 4 holiday were within 25 miles of home. None of tliose killed in cars was wearing a seat belt. Twenty-two persons died over the 78-hour July 4th holiday last year For the 20lh year, the Auto Club's "Bring ’Em Back Alive! ” Holiday News Service will provide hourly traffic and tourism bulletins to more than 165 Michigan radio stations. The service will operate from 3:15 to 11 p.m. Tuesday (July 3) and 8:15 a.m. to 11 p.m. Wednesday (July 4).

Baldwin, a hard-thrower, was a Hastings resident In the off-season. (Photo suppliod by Jo.-rys Barbor shop) ■ & Sports... oi by Esther Walton One hundred years ago. Hastings had a baseball team, a very capable team which won considerable reputation around the state. Teams were consistently attracted here to face Hastings' best pitcher. Charles Baldwin. Charles “Lady” Baldwin was bom in New York State, April 9,1859. He moved to Barry County with his parents, Simmon and Eliza Colton Baldwin, when he was a young boy and settled on a 40 acre farm in Johnstown Township. Not very long afterwards, his mother died, but an older sister kept the family together. As a youngster, he showed evidence of a promising baseball career that won him national fame in the late 1880s. Possessing a strong and wiry frame, Baldwin, a left­ hander with a blazing fastball, began to attract attention. About this time, the family moved to Hastings and he was secured to pitch for the old Hastings baseball team. Hastings' team played such teams as Grand Rapids, the Cass team of Detroit and Indianapolis. Baldwin’s pitch puzzled even the strong Indianapolis team, which played in the old Northwestern Association. It was said that local catchers could not hold his pitches and only one, Jim McGuire, a wellknown catcher of his time and later manager of the Boston Americans, was capable of a glance The Hostings Junior Bowlers recently finished their league season.

Ernlo Banks. Milt Popos. Ron Sanio. Chris Krug... It's not like 1 would be one of the select few ever to see this place. Close to 1.5 million diehards — some would call them fools — pay their $3—$9 every summer to visit the old brick building, located just down the expressway from the tallest buildings in the world and one of the most “scenic” beaches.. Funny thing though, not one of these diehards has ever set foot in the place at night because, well...it just wouldn’t be the same. Installing lights at Wrigley Field, you see. would be like drawing a mustache on the Mona Lisa. Somehow it just wouldn’t be the same. Wrigley b ield is one of the last of a dying breed of major league stadium. Only Tiger Stadium, Fenway Park in Boston, and Comiskey Park on the south side of Chicago remain along with Wrigley. Over the course of the last 15 years or so, the old-fashioned, perhaps out­ moded ballparks, have been sacked in favor of newer stadiums with their sleek and practical artificial surfaces and modern conveniences. Alas, baseball may never be the same. Bob Hendley. Don Kettlnger. Glonn Becked, Colvin Koonce. John Collison. Kon Hubbt, Jim Hlckmon. Loo Thomas. BillY Williams ...

Joo Popitono Now, Waveland Avenue before a Cubs game is quite a sideshow. Among other things we were treated to batting practice homers sailing over our heads and into the waiting gloves of a handful of sidewalk outfielders, drunks, and long lines of other Cubbie bleacherites. But the lines run along smooth enough and you’re inside quick enough to catch most of batting practice. It’s kind of strange being inside a major league ballpark which has no upper deck outfield. It's even stranger to be inside a park with no light towers. Even so, the beauty of the ballpark is striking. The famous Wrigley Field vines climbing the Indian red trick walls of the outfield cannot be duplicated by any other major league ballpark. / Period. The bleachers are hard, but nobody seems overly crowded. Besides, we're too busy watching the bailgame and the occasional sunburned blondes who stroll past. On this day, however, the beauty of Wrigley Field takes a backseat to the oppressive heat. The thriving con­ cession stands must do a million dollar business serving some 37,000 parched spectators, who try beer (maybe a couple times), lemonade, pop and even water in an attempt to remain alive. Nothing seems to help. As for the game itself, it's one of those classic afternoons at Wrigley when the wind seems to blow everything out of the ballpark. We see eight home runs and 16 runs but the Cubs lose 9-7. Actually, it's one of the best Chicago teams in recent seasons. Cub fans, who haven't seen a pennant since 1945, have been coming out in droves to watch their beloved Cubbies. As in Detroit, it doesn’t take much to get the fans stirred up over their baseball team. Just give them a decent product, an honest effort, and the fans will respond. These fans realize this place called Wrigley Field is a special place. Sinatra was right. It's my kind of town. regardless of their handicap.

Baldwin had his best record in 1886. win­ ning 43 out of 55 games. In those days, fewer pitchers were carried on the teams and the pitchers were forced to work more often. Baldwin many limes was called on to pitch every other day. During his career, he pit­ ched a total of 45 innings against the Philadelphia team before they were able to score a run. Detroit won two world championships while Baldwin was pitching, the first in 1886 and the second in 1887. His pitching in the 1887 deciding game of a close contest won the title for Detroit. Finally, the arm that pit­ ched him to national fame surrendered under the pitching strain. Then came the lameness that the best experts of his day could not overcome and Baldwin left tbe game never to return, though always retaining a keen interest in it. Charles Baldwin retired to Hastings and sold real estate. He died March of 1937, leaving his second wife, Edith Barnum Pausey, to survive him. His first wife, Dara Matthews, preceded him in death by 16 years. Anyone having more information con­ cerning the career of Charles Baldwin, please contact Esther Walton at 945-9341.

Still, for others it might be four days of bumming around the casinos of sizzling Los Vegas. There is one such place that, at least to me until last Sunday, had always headed my list to see at least once.

None-the-less, I’d always wanted to see it, and by God, I knew someday 1 would. catching Baldwin. He was soon brought to Hastings to do the catching for Baldwin. In 1884, upon recommendation of a W.T. Brown, then a resident of Hastings and connected with the A.G. Spaulding factory located here, Mr. Baldwin went to Milwaukee and played for tnem one year. It seems while Charlie Baldwin was playing with the Milwaukee team, the team suffered a long losing streak. It was proposed that a feminine name be given every member of the team, so that "lady luck” would favor them. Members were given names such as “Madame”. "Sadie", and "Nellie”. Baldwin was called “Lady" while the manager was known as "Anastasia”. After the team assume these nicknames, it started to win games. Henceforth, "Lady" Baldwin kept bis moniker for good luck. Baldwin signed with Indianapolis in 1885, but the Northwestern League was broken up and the Detroit National League bought the whole Indianapolis team. The Hastings Banner on June 25, 1885 reported, "Charlie Baldwin is home on a visit. He has joined the Detroit league team and wilt pitch his first game July 4th.” This was the beginning of Baldwin's career. Baldwin's left-hand delivery and assortment of curves confused the best hitters of the league. He always mixed his curves; though he generally put them in the June 23-24 — a womens slowpitch softball tournament for Class CC and below teams will be held in Freeport June 23-24 — a liaotings-area golf tour­ nament sponsored by the Hastings Country Club will be held at the country dub.

Martin Taylor, MESC director, announced recently Taylor said, because the final legislation for the Youth Corps has not yet passed, the program has not received the publicity that it might have. “As a result, we are extending the ap­ plication? process to ensure that every young person who wants to work has a chance for a Youth Corps job.” As time passes, due to delays in the passage of the legislation, a portion of the young people who have registered will get other jobs. This opens the door for other applicants to get placed, Taylor said. "I’m urging young people who may not have applied because they thought they may not have a chance to get a job, to come in and register next week." Taylor said that MESC locations across the state will take applications up until the las*, minute, to ensure that a pool of eligible candidates is ready for immediate referral to jobs once the program is approved and the application period is over. To qualify for the Youth Corps, young people mist be unemployed Michigan residents. 18 to 21 years old. Referrals for the Youth Corps jobs will not be on a first-come, first-served basis. In­ stead, hiring preference will be given to those from families where the principal wage earner is unemployed. In addition, older applicants will be referred to jobs before younger ones. MESC offices will accept applications for the Youth Corps program during normal working hours from 8:15 a m. to 4:30 p.m..

Dawe 2, J. Wood 0. by Glenn R. Dudderar The white body, gray wings and black wingtips of the seagull are familiar to most of us. For many people, seeing a gull or hearing its familiar cry brings to mind pleasant images of blue water, blue sky and sunny vacations by the shore. People who live with the gulls all the time, however, may see another side of this handsome bird. And people who jee gulls only now and again under a variety of cir­ cumstances may find them a source of confusion. The confusio.’ begins with the seagull's name. These attractive gray and while birds are found around the Great Lakes, near inland lakes and ponds, in city playgrounds and shopping mall parking lots, and in freshly plowed fields far from any lake. Gulls they are — but not necessarily seagulls. Obviously gulls are extremely adaptable. Though they are true water birds, they are quite at home on land. Though we think of them as fish eaters, they will also eat worms and insects, fruits and fleshy vegetables, garbage, and scraps from a backyard cookout or picnic in the park. Adults of the several species of gulls that live in Michigan look very much alike. The young, however, tend to look less like their parents than their parents look like other kinds of adult gulls.

Only after three years do these birds develop the adult's yellow bill with a black rink around it, yellow legs and snow white head and breast, gray wings and black wingtips. The ringbill is about the size of a crow, so people who are familiar with it have that impression of the appropriate size for a gull. When they first encounter the herring gull, which is the size of a mallard duck or bigger but is superficially the ringbill's twin, they become confused just as 1 first did. “1 had no idea gulls were so big!” is a typical com­ ment. Another gull just moving into Michigan from the north is even bigger than the herring gull. The great black-backed gull is so dark on its wings that it looks black. This gull and Bonaparte's gull, which has a jetblack head, are easy to recognize as adults, but except for size, their young and the young of ether gulls can be quite confusing. Becoming familiar with the habits of gulls may further alter an idealized image of the gull. Though we think of gulls as fish eaters, we tend to think of them swooping down to snatch live fish from the waves rather than scavenging dead fish on the beach, but gulls play an important role in cleaning up dead or injured and dying fish in the lake and on the shore. They will scavenge garbage, too, as This week in outdoor Michigan General Outdoor Conditions: Weather remains hot and sunny. A few sprinkles fell on Saturday but no measurable amount of precipitation. Temperatures in the high 80s cooling to the 60s at night. Fishing: Perch are starting to hit off piers and out in about 40 feet of water in Lake Michigan. Sofpihell crabs and wigglers are the preferred bait New Buffalo has slowed down. A few being taken in close and then again out in 200 feet of water down 30-40 feet. St. Joseph has had excellent perch fishing. Walleye continue to be taken in the lower end of the river. Lake trout, steelhead and kings are hitting in 150-200 feet of water. Boats are coming back with 5 to 15 fish which is pretty good. Inland Lakes - Fishing has been slow. Lakes are turning over. Bluegills can still be taken in close but they should be moving out soon now. A few perch in deeper water taken and bass are hitting fairly good in deep water. Turtles - Trapping activity has picked up for turtles. Remember, you must contact the area conservation officer or this office when traps are set. Also make sure your name and address is on all traps. Walleye - The Gun Lake rearing ponds are in the process of being drawn down. So far, 14,000 walleye, about 2” each, have been released into Gun Lake. There is still one more pond to be drained. Wildlife: “Orphaned animals" - Please leave wild animals where you find them, even if they appear orphaned. Chances are their mother is nearby and will return after you leave. We have received many cal’s from people with these animals and there are just no facilities to take all of them. They are much better off left alone. (We have put this information in these outdoor reports for so long now that you are probably getting tired of reading it but the problem continues and seems to get worse each year. Please pass the word along.) Personnel are presently working on recommendations for the 1984 deer season. Turkey broods should be hatching out now. Wildlife personnel is very interested in any sightings of these broods. Copy down the location and number seen and give us a call. Other Outdoor Shorts: Many state parks have filled their reservations for the 4th of July weekend. Only half of the campground lots are reserved, leaving the rest for first come, first serve but these sites fill up quickly. It is best to call the park before heading out. well as leftover fish bait. They are also predators that prey on smaller birds. When gulls prey on newly hatched ducklings or cygnets where viewing these waterfowl is a local attraction, the whi te-w i ngs-soar ing-agai nst-lhe-blue-sky image that so many people have of gulls often has to be revised. While-dr oppings-on-the-dack is <a more down-to-earth problem that lakeshore dwellers often have to deal with. The droppings are abundant and, because much of the gull’s did consists of fish, very smelly. Gulls can make a slippery, smelly mess of any boat, pier, dock or raft on which they roost. In places like the locks at Sault Ste. Marie, gull droppings on catwalks pose a hazard to lock operators and engineers. When the droppings dry and oxidize, they become corrosive and can damage metal, wood finishes and cloth. All this is not to suggest that gulls are devils rather than saints, it simply shows that they are adaptable, complex birds doing what they can to make a living. Sometimes that puts them in conflict with people, who sometimes react more strongly to their problems with gulls if they once held the Jonathan Livingston Seagull image of the soaring white birds and finds that image betrayed by reality. Sometimes giving up such notions is part of the study of nature from your backdoor. Marriage licenses: Gaylord Gaulke, Shelbyville, 29 and Deborah Cappon, Hastings, 21.

Bliss Co. Ina 5-0 vote, council established a tax abatement district for the manufac­ turer in accordance with Michigan's Public Act 198. Alderman Gordon Bennett, a Bliss employee, abstained from the vote. According to Bliss Spokesman Jan Mullett, the company plans to install a state-of-the-art “horizontal machining center", which could Increase the manufacturer's share of the press market. Mullett said that a larger share of the press market could result in Bliss calling as many as 200 people back to work, but warned “1 don't want to get people excited thinking we’ll hire 200 people tomorrow. It's totally dependent on the market share.” However, Alderman May Lou Gray, obviously pleased with the district's approval, commented "I've heard a very favorable response from people who are ready to line up and apply for jobs." E.W. Bliss currently employs about 260 persons. The bulk of the $1.1 million cost will be sunk into the machining center, which according to Mullett will be located inside the main plant. Approximately $100,000 will be spent to upgrade Bliss property. Work on the project could begin next month, anJ end in July, 1966.

Michigan Jobless rate drops in area, statewide Barry County's jobless rate dropped slightly in April, as it did in 12 of Michigan's 13 statistical areas, ac­ cording to figures just released by the Michigan Employment Security Commission. April's unemployment rate in Barry County was 13.1 percent, down a scant .2 percent from March. However, figures reveal that the number of those without jobs in Barry County remained essentially unchanged for the two months, at 2,600. The percentage drop is a reflection of an increase in the number of persons with jobs in Barry County, from 16,900 to 17,225. Unemployment dropped 1.8 percent overall throughout the Barry-Calhoun standard metropolitan statistical area (SMSA), according to MESC figures. The March jobless rate for the two counties was 13 percent, the April figure is 11.2 percent.

Hit-and-run suspect still being sought Delton woman Injured In crash A Delton woman was injured in a twocar traffic accident Saturday afternoon on the intersection of M-« and Lawrence Road in Maple Grove Township. Diana Lou Huffman, 37, of 6711 Lindsey Rd., was hurt when she collided broadside with an automobile driven by James H. Hogan. The sheriff deputy who investigated the accident ticketed the 53-year-old Hogan, of 375 E. Vermontville Highway, Charlotte. He received slight injuries in the accident. Huffman was taken to Pennock Hospital In Hastings by the Nashville Ambulance where she was treated and later released. Pagel Banner Arrests come quickly after theft It took area law enforcement agencies 28 minutes to rein in two suspected car thieves, after the pair allegedly stole a 1978 Chevette from a garage on Osborne Road in the early hours of June 20. Richard Lee Wild, 18, and Albert Vincent Wild, 17, Kalamazoo, who are brothers, demanded exam June 21 in Barry County District Court on charges of unlawfully driving away an automobile. The exams are set for July 2, at io a.m. Bond for both men is set at 91,000 cash or surety. Both men were appointed counsel by the court. According to Lt. Richard Zim­ merman, commander of the Hastings state police team, the Wilds entered the garage at the David Barrett residence, and made off with the car about 1:30 a.m. Barrett, reportedly alerted by the sound of the car being driven away, called state police, who in turn alerted area police agencies to be on the lookout for the stolen car. The suspects were stopped at 1:58 a.m. by Kalamazoo Township police, and arrested. Zimmerman declined to reveal what the suspect pair was doing in Barry County at such an early hour, or how they made their way to Osborne Road. Wall Lake plans sewer study Personnel from the Hastings Am­ bulance crew are shown here working on the two Hastings residents who were injured by a nit-and-run driver Monday evening on West State Road. By Steve Horton The Barry County Sheriff Department is still seeking a suspect involved in a hit-andrun accident which injured two Hastings residents Monday night at the intersection of West Slate Road and Hammond Road in Hastings. Deputy Donald Nevins, the investigating officer, said that an attorney had contacted him Tuesday afternoon about "someone who wanted to turn himtelf in", but as of press time Wednesday afternoon no warrant had been issued. "I don’t feel it's a question of ‘if the in­ dividual will turn themself in, but a question of 'when'," said Nevins. Law enforcement officials are seeking a mid-to-late 1960's turquoise car, believed to be a Buick, which was reportedly driven by a white, bearded male, approximately 30 years of age. Nevins said the subject turned into the path of a motorcycle, driven by Steven C. Guy, 26, of 5024 S. Bedford Rd., and carrying a passenger, Polly Newberry, 26, of the same address. Both were taken to Pennock Hospital, where they are listed in good condition. Guy reportedly suffered a dislocated hip and Newberry suffered a severely broken leg. They are expected to be hospitalized for some time, said Nevins. by Ken Reibel The Hastings City Council purchased two cars, a portable generator, and contracted for the renovation of a building Monday night, at a total cost of 936,600. Purchased are a new Ford LTD police cruiser for the Hastings City Police Department, at a cost of $10,235.08; a used, 1983 Buick Century for the city engineer, at a cost of $8,000, plus trade-in; an $865 portable generator for the fire department, and a $17,700 revamping of the city's Mill St. water pump building. The police cruiser replaces one with about 75,000 miles. Police Chief Mark Steinfort said the funds used for the purchase will come out of his department's 1983-84 budget The city engineer's new car replaces a 1976 Dodge Coronet, with approximately 45,000 miles. Director of Public Works Mike Klovanich said he uses the vehicle to travel to meetings, conferences, and for job in­ spections. His new car is a four-door model, and comes equipped with air conditioning, and has about 27,000 miles. The car was pur­ chased from Art Mead's Used Cars in Hastings, and its cost will be covered by the city's equipment fund. William Cusack, chairman of the council's water and sewer supply committee, said the engineer'^jald car is in bad shape, despite its relatively low mileage. “It’s like the police cars. It has a lot of idling time on the job,” said Cusack. "What we're trying to avoid is a lot of expenses in repair work." "1 don’t see any reason why I need a new car," said Klovanich. "This used car has everything on it we'll need for four or five years down the road. And I think we can save some money by purchasing a used car." The fire department's portable generator will be curried on an older firetruck, ac­ cording to Fire Chief Roger Carls, though the funds to pay for it are leftover from a special fund used to buy a new firetruck. Money for the revamping of the city’s pump building come from the city's water fund, which is comprised of money paid by anyone who uses city water. The work is necessary to make better use of the Mill St. building, said Mayor William R. Cook. Plans call for laying a steel floor over a two-story “pit” in the northeast comer of the building, which years ago housed well equipment, and installing a garage door in that corner, to allow the indoor parking of city vehicles. Klovanich said the renovation will in­ crease the storage area in the building, by turning the pit into a cellar, as well as making the city's water truck more ac­ cessible and convenient for city crews to use. "Right now. if the crew has to go out on a job at night, they have to go to the city garage, pick up ’he truck, then drive it over to the water building to pick up the equip­ ment," explained Klovanich. “This way, they can pick up the truck and the equipment at the same time." In other business: Council set a July 9 hearing for a request for curband gutter, blacktop, sanitary sewer and water main on N. Ferris St., at the request of Joseph Bleam and John and Sandy Cohoon. It is John Cohoon's second try for the street improvements. Cohoon voiced a comphint with council members at their June 12 meeting, after council unanimously turned down his request for street improvements. Council accepted “with regrets” the resignation of Councilwoman Mary Spackman, who is moving from her first ward home to a home in the city's third ward. “I want to say that it’s been a real pleasure working with Mrs. Spackman on the finance committee," said Councilman Cusack, "Her expertise in financial matters has been a great deal of help." Council also accepted the resignation of Dennis Cleveland from the Boara of Appeals and Planning Commission. In his letter to the council, Cleveland ex­ plained that due to the amount of travelling he does for his job, he felt he could not spend as much time on city matters as he should to do a good job. Cleveland was first appointed to the board of appeals in January, 1972, when he replaced Dale Basssett, and to the planning commission in January, 1969, when he replaced Tom Stebbins. Wall Lake residents authorize sewer study by Ken Reibel Members of the Wall Lake Association Friday night authorized funds to study the feasibility of installing a small, innovative, community sewage collection system for lake residents. "The weed growth on the lake is getting out of hand due to the nutrients going into the lake." said Lynn Pony, lake association president. Perry said the seepage from nutrients from human waste in home septic tanks around Wall Lake have been documented in three separate Western Michigan University studies, and a Barry County Health Department evaluation. Steve Essling. public sanatarian for the county health department, said Wall Lake. Upper Crooked Lake and Delton were con­ sidered for inclusion in the $27 million Gun Lake Sewer project ten years ago. but that the plan was scrapped by Delton and Upper Crooked Lake residents who "wanted to slay out." Essling said the study would tell Wall Lake residents how many homes need to be in­ cluded in the collection plan, the type of soils in the area, and the type of collection plan that would best work. Two-thousand households dumping human waste into septic tanks almost killed Gun Lake, before the completion of an area-wide sewage system. Chemical nutrients such as phosphorous and nitrogen seeped out of septic tanks, bled through pourous. sandy soils, and-into the lake, feeding algae and weeds and choking the life out of the largest inland lake in southern Michigan. Gun Lake is only one of 320 major lakes in Barry County, and four populated lakes ring the Hastings area — Algonquin, Leach, Middle and Thornapple. Septic tanks are the main source of waste control for the residents of those lakes, and public health officials and lake ecologists say that spells trouble. "Anytime you have man competing with the environment, you have a deviation from natural water quality," said Essling. "Human waste products compete with fish. All degrade the natural water quality." These four lakes were the subject of a 1977 engineering report which studied the feasibility of hooking up homes to the Hastings Waste Water Treatment Plant. At the time, a federal grant was available to fund such a project. However, the study showed that the frequency of population on those four lakes did not justify the cost. Essling said studies have shown that phosphorous can travel up to 200 feet through soil from a septic lank. "The problem is, manv platted lots are only 100 feet long. Many lots we have to exclude from development, because there isn't enough clearance from the lake for the septic tank." said Essling. It took a $26.5 million municipal waste waler treatment plant to save Gun Lake, the funding of which lias sparked controversy in the recent past. Today. Essling and other Continued oi page 2 �The Hastings Banner— Thursday, June 28. 1984, Page 2 VIEWPOINT: Sewer study, continued from page 1 Commentaries from our editorial staff and the community — Editorial Water quality: We must be diligent sentinels This week The Banner is presenting the third article in an intermittent series on tlie quality of water in Barry County. Our county's water may be our single most important asset and preserving its quality is essential to maintaining a high quality of life here. When Chief Noonday and his Ottawa Indians and groups of Potawatomies dominated Barry County, they had pristine waters that were good tor drinking, transportation and fishing. The white settlers turned the water into a source of power and as homes, farms and industries sprang up, the by-products of civilization uegan to infiltrate the groundwater system. Today, 150 years after the settlers first arrived, we’re slowly coming to a crisis unless we take steps to prevent further deterioration of our lakes, streams and underground waters. Farm runoff and septic systems are filling our lakes with weeds and may be killing the natural ecological patterns of life in several lakes. DNR and health officials suspect that industrial pollutants have creeped into several lakes. Residents of the Lake Doster area are fearful of pollution seeping into ground­ water from the now closed KAV-Co. landfill. Their fears and the delays in bringing KAV-Co. to trial were the subject of our first article in this series. We have also looked at the extensive measures taken by the City of Hastings to ensure that waler being drawn from a new well will be free of pollutants. This week’s article examines an alternative method of sewage treatment already in use in the county that could provide a low cost alternative to major sewer systems around our lakes. Wall Lake residents are studying the system. The cycle that waler takes when it is drawn out of the ground, used in a household, dumped into a septic system and returned to groundwater is con­ siderably shorter around lakes than in areas with drier ground. Eventually, the cycle becomes too short and the lake and groundwater become polluted. Several of our lakes may be reaching the saturation point, as Gun Lake did. An upcoming article will deal with a groundwater study, being done in con­ junction with Western Michigan University, that is designed to tell us the condition of our groundwater today. This will enable us to tell how much and how fast our water is deteriorating. To our knowledge, this is the first time that the quality of water in the county has been reviewed as a whole. We hope that we can not only enlighten readers about the problems, but can also stimulate further study and create more watchdogs to spot new problems before they get out of hand. LETTERS to the Editor: An open letter to the business community To the Editor: An open letter to the business community of downtown Hastings. Although our family lives several miles from Hastings (Wall Lake - Delton), we have found that shopping and dining in Hastings lo be convenient. The clerks and waitresses have been friendly and helpful aid con­ sequently we've spent a considerable amount of money, and hopefully helped in some way lo improve the economy of Hastings. We've shopped for clothing and hardware supplies, we’ve purchased building supplies, had our carpeting installed by a Hastings firm, have dined many times in the evening and weekends, driven into town for breakfast on weekends, had boat and motor repairs done there, and even enriched Pennock Hospital considerably when my son was recently ill and spent a week there. We even had in-laws spend a week al a Hastings motel when they came to visit last summer. But enough past history. Last Saturday evening, my wife and I and four children decided that we would drive to the com­ munity of Hastings to celebrate my son's 17th birthday and Father's Day. The restaurant is just off the main street so we decided to park on State Street, just around the corner. It was a few minutes past 9 p.m Following a good time, we left the restaurant at approximately 10:30 p.m., feeling good about having a fine family gathering (despite the fact it cost me $50). What are we greeted with when we return to the car? A parking ticket for illegal parking! It seems, according to the ticket, that one cannot park on the main street of Hastings after 10 p.m.! The ticket was written at 10:15 p.m. The Hastings It seems to me that in this age of people doing more and more shopping at shopping plazas, away from downtown areas, that downtown areas would be concentrating on how lo retain some of that business rather than farcing it to go elsewhere. Needless to say, I was very irritated and, I might add, disappointed that I can’t even take the family out on a Saturday night and park in a downtown area without worrying about having a parking ticket slapped on my car. I’m afraid that next lime the family will head for the shopping plazas and restaurants in outlying areas where one can park without having the local constabulary with itchy fingers slapping tickets on the windshield. It’s too' bad, we really did like doing business in Hastings but I don’t like being intimidated by threats of court action for parking my car in what certainly appears to be a perfectly logical place to park! You of the business community might give this subject some thought. David H. Eddy Local YMCA programs, director applauded To the Editor: My children, Nick, Peter and Anna, are or have participated in many YMCA-Youth Council activities over the five years we have lived in this community. They have par­ ticipated in Backyard Swim Program, Tiny Tot Camp, Tot Lol. soccer and Indian Guides. My husband, Harold, and I have had the privilege lo coach in the soccer program My children have gained immeasurably in skills, confidence, sociability and just plain fun through these programs. The credit for their positive experience goes to Dave Storms and his skills and en­ thusiasm. He is an excellent director and a tremendous asset to this community. We have always had the most positive of con­ tacts with him from his prompt acknowledgement of camp applications to our conversations regarding soccer scheduling. I sometimes wonder how he can do it all. His day seems to go from dawn to dusk. I want to express my appreciation and thanks to Dave and tlie board for their wonderful programs. This community is very fortunate to have Dave Storms. Pat Lewis Banner ___________________ / Send torm P S. 3579 lo P.O. Box B (USPS071-830) 1952 N. Broodway. P.O. Box B.

It is such a facility that the resident of Wall Lake are studying. The federal government, too, is banking on the new breed of water treatment plants. According to Essling, the Environmental Protection Agency no longer funds large, municipal systems, but will give money to “innovative” local plants. "If a small community of homes puts up money for the engineering phase, the federal government may fund the project," said Essling. Two of the more popular, lower-cost alternatives to expensive, municipal systems are community tile fields, and oxydation ditch systems. Tile fields, which can be roughly likened to a large septic tank, are common, but do pose problems. However, using small diameter piping, and pressure pumps, effluent can be treated, and evenly distributed over a large, underground field. When designing a tile field, engineers look at soil absorption rates — how much human waste, in pulverized, watered-down con­ dition, can be dumped into an underground field in one day. Engineers generally agree that fora sandy-textured soil, a loading rate of one gallon per day per square foot of Charlie Mead of Mead-O-Acres built this oxydation ditch sewage treatment system himself. The oval course circulates bottom absorption is permissable. an aerates raw sewage, which is broken down by bacteria.

Well, the township didn’t want the PUBLIC OPINION: Woman vice president? Three Battle Creek men from burglary ring sentenced Three Battle Creek men whom police say operated a burglary ring in eight southern Michigan counties received sentences Friday ranging from one year in jail to ten years in prison. Joseph Joiner, 18, received five years probation and one year in the Barry County jail for his involvement in the March 18 break-in of a Baltimore Township home. He was given credit for 85 days spent in custody, and assessed $400 in fines and costs. Before Barry-Eaton Circuit Court Judge Richard Shuster passed sentence, Joiner’s attorney, David Dimmers, of Hastings, blamed "Lack of education and a poor choice of friends" for Joiner's trouble. Dimmers further noted that Joiner had assisted authorities in Barry and other counties in tracking down other suspects in the burglary ring. “I’m sorry for all the things I’ve done wrong, and I’ve started to make my life right," said Joiner before he was sentenced. Judge Shuster said he based his decision not to imprison Joiner on recommendations of the prosecution, the probation office, and Attorney Dimmers. "You'll just come out (of prison) a professional criminal, instead of a careless amateur," said Shuster. But Shuster further warned Joiner “I will not hesitate to send you lo prison if you do not turn out to be a good citizen.” William Elbert Miller, 33. received the longest sentence of the three, 80 months to ten years in prison. He also received credit for 88 days behind bars. Miller, who has prior criminal convictions, told Shuster prior to sentencing "1 have no hard feelings for what I’m about to receive." Stephen Scott Cody. 21, received 40 lo 60 months in prison. He admitted to fencing stolen gold, silver and other items to professional gold and silver buyers. Joiner and Cody were each sentenced for attempted breaking and entering of an oc­ cupied dwelling, as part of a plea agreement with prosecutors. Miller was sentenced for breaking and entering ofa building, also part of a plea agreement. State ponce from the Hastings team say the trio broke into an unidentified Baltimore Township home, and stole thousands of dollars worth of goods, including many religious and decorative items from over­ seas. Police say they have recovered some of the stolen goods, but that some may never be found. "There’s no way to set a figure to replace objects of sentimental value," said Judge Shuster, who ordered Joiner lo pay restitution to some of his victims. "People have a right not lo have properly in their homes violated. The court has very little patience with this type of conduct.” In other court proceedings: Monte Burroughs, 23, currently of the Calhoun County Jail, pleaded guilty to lar­ ceny under 5100 in connection with the May, 1983 theft of a chainsaw from a S. Wall Lake Road home. In exchange for his plea, prosecutors agreed to drop charges of breaking and entering of an occupied dwelling and receiving and concealing stolen property. Sentencing for Burroughs is set for July 6 at 9:30 a.m. Write us a letter!

Shirley Drake Merry Ossenhelmer Nelson Brumm John Hughes The Question:------------------------Democratic presidential hopeful Walter Mondale has captured national attention lately as he interviewed potential running mates. Among those Interviewed are a number of women, including San Fransisco Mayor Diane Feinstein. Do you have any objections to seeing a woman on a Presidential ticket? Would you like to see a woman in the White House? Do you think the selection of a fem al running mute could help Mondale in the fall election? Kim Thomel, Hastings: "I think Modale's just using the vice presidential office for publicity. I think he'll end up with a while male running mate. But it wouldn’t bother me to see a woman vice president." Barb Skidmore. Dowling: "I'm sure a woman could do the job just as well as a man. but I’m not sure if people would vote for her." Pam Christiansen. Hastings: "I think so. It would be different to have a woman vice president, because its always been a man. It's hard to say if a woman vice president would help Mondale. Il could." Boh Barnes, Hastings: "It would be alright. A woman could do just as good a job as anybody. It would be good fur Mondale to have a woman running male — he’d get more female votes." Shirley Drake. Dowling: “I don't see why a woman can’t be rice president or even president. Women should be more active in government ..I’ve often thought that there should be more of a balance of men and women and women in government because you'd gel different views." When asked if a woman on the ticket would increase Mon­ dale's chances of winning, she answered, “possibly." Merry Ossrnhcimcr. Nashville: "I wouldn't mind seeing a woman as vice president, but I don't see any one (woman) as a front runner. It should be someone who is very prominent and I don’t know of anyone who is prominent that is out for the position. If they have to search for one just lo pul a woman on (the ticket), that’s not right...and I wouldn't be in favor of that." A vice presidential candidate, whether a man or a woman, should be qualified and know what they’re doing, she said. A woman shouldn't be part of the ticket as a "token" just because it might be a popular idea or a votegetter, she added. "1 really don’t" was Merry's reply when asked if a woman would help Mondale’s chances toget elected. “They'regoing to lose or gain some votes because of it. 1 don’t think it would help their chances whether its Reagan or anyone." Nelson Brumm. Nashville: “I don’t know, I guess a woman would be alright. A woman might be better than some of the men we've had." Asked if a woman would benefit Mondale's chances of winning, he said, "I don't think it would help him too much. I think the big majority can see through Mondale and how he’s conducting his campaign...some people probably think he’s running it right and there are others that don't." John Hughes. Nashville: "Personally. 1 have no problem with it...! think the time has come." he said adding that he feels such prejudices have broken down in the last few­ years. He also noted that there are now­ women in corporate levels and women should lie allowed lo hold top offices "if they can do the job. The qualifying factors should not be sex or color." A woman on a potential ticket with Mondale, "could be a big swing" with more votes from women who he said statistically vote as often as men However, he added, "it will cost" <a loss in certain voters), but he doesn't think the cost will out­ weigh the benefits." �The Hastings Banner— Thursday. June 28, 1984, Page 3 Delton adopts s4.9 million school budget A proposed operating budget of $4,949,553 for the 1984-85 school year, reflecting a 5.2 percent overall increase over last year's expenditures, has been adopted by the Delton-Kellogg Board of Education. Superintendent Dr John Sanders said the new budget is based upon 32.1 mills that would be levied if voters approve a millage renewal and an increase at a special August 18 election. That total millage includes 8allocated mills irom the county and a proposed 24.1-millage package that will appear on the August ballot. V< lers will be asked to approve a 21.1 renewal, a 2-mill increase for operations, ahd a 1-mill increase for capital improvements for two years. The same millage proposal for a three year period was narrowly defeated by voters on June 11. Increases in the new- budget, adopted after a public hearing Monday, include fivepercent across-the-board salary hikes for teachers as specified in their two-year contract which Sanders said averages out to a 3.5 percent increase per year in that lime period. The budget also includes more funds for capital improvements such as anticipated purchases of a new school bus, computers, instructional software, typewriters, text­ books. and other types of teaching tools and supplies; and more funds than last year for building maintainance. "Some of the other accounts (in the budget) were lowered," he said. In other business, after four rounds of bidding in previous weeks, the board awarded the final contract for work on the district's energy conservation project. Thornview Electric of Caledonia, the lowest of four bidders, was awarded a contract not to exceed $21,400 for the elec­ trical portion of the project. The firm had previously bid $19,700 for the project, but the board decided to rescind its earlier action to accept that bid to avoid any potential litigation from another company which questioned why the third round of bidding had not been advertised even though it had been contacted for a rebid. Sanders said no explanation was given by Thornview for the increase in its bid during the last round of bidding. For workers' compensation insurance for the 1984-85 school year, the board accepted the low bid of $9,387 from Indiana Insurance through the Buckland Insurance Agency of Deiton. The board currently has workers' compensation through the Michigan Association of School Boards. The board sold a portable classroom to Richard Tolles for $1,505.51 and still has another unit loo sell. Juliet Bourdo, board secretary who did not seek re-election this year, was honored at Monday's meeting with the presentation of two plaques in appreciation of her l7'--y?ars of dedicated service on the board. The plaques were awarded by the Delton board MILLER Repair Service HEATING and AIR CONDITIONING Sales & Service and the Michigan Association of School Boards. "We will miss her (Mrs. Bourdo) greatly." said Sanders. "She has been a very valuable member of our board of education...The kids of our community have benefited from her sen-ice." Monday was Mrs. Bourdo's last board meeting and the two recently elected members, incumbent Vera Scott and newcomer Sally A. Mills, accepted their oaths of office for new terms which begin July 1.

Page 6 what’s cookin* Aud’s Antics... by Elaine Gilbe I Law of Supply and Demand This Week Featuring... Joan Sebright Dairy farmers' wives seem to have an extra special knack for preparing good foods from the products they produce. Joan Sebright, who has a life-long farming heritage and has been married to a dairy­ farmer for 34-years, has a delicious and unique recipe for a "fudge ribbon cake" that calls for four dairy products. The cake, she says, is a hit with her family because they’ve always "been big on chocolate." What makes this cake extra special is the cream cheese mixture that’s layered between the chocolate batter. “It’s a good, heavy and moist cake," she says. She often I rests the dessert with chocolate frosting, but it can be served plain too. Joan notei that’s its good served warm with ice cream when you don’t want to frost it. Joan's been baking the cake for 15-20 years and says she can’t recall exactly where she obtained the recipe but thinks she cut it out of a woman's magazine. Now that her children are grown and married and the cooking and baking are geared to just two people, she often cuts the cake into squares and freezes it. However, she adds that freezing the cake in squares is a handy way to give your children a special dessert when you're packing lunches. By packing a frozen square of cake with their lunch "it's thawed out by noon," she says. If si 2 doesn’t freeze the cake, she keeps it in the refrigerator to help preserve its freshness. Besides the cream cheese, other dairy products in the cake recipe include but­ termilk, butler and regular milk. While there seems to be a lot of publicity about the nutritive values of milk and cheeses (especially during June which is dairy month), butter is sometimes overlooked The American Dairy Association (ADA) says butter, made from cream, gives a high return in food energy. "Butler is a rich source of natural vitamin A. The yellow pigment, carotene, which gives butler its color is also present. It is converted into vitamin A in the body and stored as needed. Vitamin A is necessary for normal cell growth and maintenance of healthy eyes, skin and tissue for resistance to infection. A lack of vitamin A sometimes causes night blindness," according to the ADA. Vitamin D is also present in butter and the ADA notes that there are only a few com­ monly used natural foods like milk, butter, eggs and liver in which this vitamin occurs. Vitamin D helps the calcium and phosphorous in the body to build strong bones and teeth.

Such fat is needed for the absorption of some vitamins like AJJ.E, and K; and "contains certain fatty acids essential to good nutrition; and insulates the body against heat and cold and lubricates the skin." Using real butter in cakes, butter frostings, candy, cookies, yeast doughs and quick breads improves the texture and keeping qualities of baked goods, notes the ADA. Plus cakes, cookies, etc. retain the natural flavor of butter. When making cakes and cookies, the ADA suggests that it’s best not to beat too much air into the butter “or additional flour will be needed, thus producing a less tender product. For hand or rotary beater mixing, soften butter just for ease in handling; for an electric mixer butter can be used from the refrigerator if it’s first cut into small pieces." The history of butter dates back to 4,000years ago when it was first discovered, accidently, by being churned in an animal skin, says the ADA. Through the centuries, butter “has been used as a medicine, a hair dressing, an oil, a poultice to erase wrinkles, as money, an indication of wealth and as a means for buying a wife. It has been eatenalone, drunk in tea. spread on almost every other food, cooked with innumerable foods and seasonings. Its value was recognized by the Pilgrims who stored several tubs aboard the Mayflower. Modern butter, manufactured and processed by scientific methods, has not really changed from the earliest product," according to the ADA. The first United States creamery to manufacture butter debuted in 1871 in Manchester. Iowa. From that small beginning, the butter industry spread to become a vital part of the dairy industry. Dairy farming is a subject that Joan Sebright knowns inside and out. She was bom and raised on a farm in the Allegan area and she married a dairy farmer. She and husband, Donald, have fanned in Marlin for the past 28 years. Joan's been a long-time member of the Farm Bureau Women in Allegan County and formerly served five-years as the group's vice president. Donald also has been active in farm organizations. Although Joan says she used to frequently help with farm chores, she says her main duty now is to keep several acres mowed around a pond on the family farm. The Sebrights have four living children. One child is deceased. "We have four granddaughters which we enjoy tremendously." she says. Sewing is a favorite hobby and Joan often sews for her grandchildren besides making most of her own clothes. She also knits oc­ casionally and does some latch hook as a pastime when watching TV. Raising a big garden and growing a variety of flowers are other activities that keep her busy. Fudge Ribbon Cake Melt 4 oz. baking chocolate with '2-cup butter.

Get the News! Since the middle 1970's, prices for good antiques has nearly tripled. Not only that, they are fewer and further between. Ten years ago it was not uncommon to find round oak tables, curved glassed china cabinets. Larkin desks, secretary bookcases and even oak roll-top desks offered for sale at yard sales and flea markets. Those ofyou who deal in antiques will agree that all the above mentioned pieces, (with the exception of the rolltop desk) could be purchased for bet­ ween $125 and $225 each, even al auc­ tion Not so the case now, my dear! Earlier this year a friend told me she had a chance to buy an oak secretary bookcase for $300 and asked me if that was a fair price. When she described it as having good glass in the door, no missing parts or veneer, a good bevelled mirror on top, and claw feel need I say more? Of course I suggested she "grab” it. Ten years ago that would have been an outrageous and exor­ bitant price; today it's considered a "steal". It seems the more desirable the piece, the scarcer it becomes. What used to be considered grand­ ma's old fashioned furniture is now "in" and young couples are buying strictly antique furniture and ac­ couterments to fill and decorate their homes. They not only love antique furnishings for their esthetic appeal, but know they are investing in quality. These pieces were made when furniture was wood all the way through - not wood veneer over wood products, as is the case with most furniture manufac­ turers today. Even though good antiques are harder to find and more expensive to buy, they are still one of the best monetary investments. A year or two ago. when the economy was even worse than it is today, an­ tiques never lost their volume or depreciated money-wise. They may not have moved as quickly as usual, but they held their own. The botton never went out of the antique market. Gold and silver constantly fluctuate; stocks and bonds require the expertise of a broker, money in a savings account is subject to tax. A beautiful quality antique can sit in your home as you use and enjuy it. and still gain in value every day. Only you reap the benefits it brings. Ten years ago, claws feet on antique furniture was the main criterion to many of us. Now it really doesn't matter whether its claw, rolled, or pad footed. The fine old pieces are getting scarce and we find that the foot style is not as important in our buying judgment as then. Now we can’t be as choos} because any fine antiques at a good price is a real “find" today. Oftimes an antique shop is the only place we can find the scarcer pieces we are looking for. Even though we may pay more at shops than al auction, it is still a wise decision. As long, as we are not overcharged, we can still pay lop dollar today and with the rapid rate of appreciation of good antiques, know that every cent invested can go nowhwere but up. This is not just my say so, but is advised by authorities in this field. Next to land and your home (or other real estate), antiques are rated as a very sound and wise investment. Another good reason to buy from antique shops is the fact that you may "lay-away" an item fora small deposit and regular payments. Every antique dealer is or has been in the same financial boat. They are usually very helpful and eager to please. If you buy at auction, its money up front and bidding against other in­ vestors and collectors. I've seen an­ tique and collectibles go for more money at auction than in shops. Many times in a feverish quest to own the antique, you easily go over your bid limit and end up paying more than you intended. As round oak dining tables are becoming more difficult to find, folks are finally becoming aware of the beautiful styles and workmanship of old square dining tables. They are usually more ornate than round ones, often with carved aprons. They also are often five or six legged which gives added support Io extra leaf extensions. The square dining table with fat legs is more in demand than thin legged styles. Ac­ tually. a square table uses less space in a room than does a round one. They are now. and have been, less expensive than the round tables. As the square antique dining table becomes more scarce, the prices will also soar as the law of supply and demand forces higher prices for hardlofind antique items. Fads aiso rule antique prices. For instance — an old wooden bed with a very tall headboard is more expensive than one with a lower headboard because buyers find them more desirable. A roll-top desk is considered of more value if there are drawers on both front sides — whereas some have drawers on the left side and a door on the right. A secretary-bookcase with drawers below instead of a door is more desil able to some dealers and collec­ tors. A double mirror on top of a secretary also adds to the price, as does claw and ball feel on any antique. Quarter-sawn oak and burled wood makes a piece more desirable, as does beveling on old mirrors. Inlaid woods and artistic jappaning (painting) lends richness to wooden antique pieces, as well as to antique prices. A set of four, six, or eight antique dining chairs will sell for more money per chair as a set than one or two chairs alone. People are looking for antique chairs in sets and are willing to pay more for the set as it has a higher value. For instance. 1 dining chair sold alone may only be worth $20430. The same chair in a matching set of four, six, or eight may be valued at $75-$80 each. A curved glassed china cabinet sells for more than a flat glassed closure one. If you have a curved glassed china cabinet in excellent antique condition, you can literally "measure" its value. Easily figure $100 per foot in height. If there is any fancy trim, ornate top shelving and or mirror, add another $1004200 to the value. Most old china cabinets, corner cupboards and curio cabinets originally had wooden shelving - not glass shelving. Many of the lovely reproduction pieces of today have glass shelves. This is one way to help the novice determine the age of a piece. I have nothing against a well made antique reproduction piece of furniture — if the buyer isn’t duped into believing it lobe old, and if the price isn't that of a true antique. There are some beautiful reproduction pieces on the market and they can be used to compliment other period antique pieces in your home. Always look for quality of workm~nship before buying. Because true antiques are becoming more scarce and more expensive. I believe quality antique reproduction furniture will be the new wave in home furnishings for future young couples. Fine pieces made of beautiful woods lend the charm of the old pieces and if carefully selected for quality, can give an air and appearance of early American. After all. the truly old pieces were once new. and are now antiques — so why can’t the newer pieces age with love in the home and be handed down from this generation to the next.

Page 7 Historical plaque now in place at Woodland Hall by Catherine Lucas Barry County Historical Society met rn Woodland on Thursday evening., June 21. to dedicate the historical plaque now placed in front of the Woodland Town Hall with the meeting and dedication held in the town hall. Around 50 people attended After a short benediction by vice-president of the society, Gordon Barlow. President Barbara Furrow asked Wayne Henney, Woodland Township supervisor, *o make a few comments. Wayne thanked the sign committee and everyone who helped to get the hall declared an historical building. Hare Id Stannard gave a short dedication speech made up mostly of reading the minutes of township board meetings and adding comments. He read from the meetings in which the building was planned, built, and used the first few years. The years he covered were 1867 to 1874. On April 25,1867, he noted, the board voted to build a town house or town hall and voted $500 toward the cause, and a committee was appointed to draw up plans An additional $500 was voted in May and at a later date, another $350 was added. The upper floor was used as a school fora while, and many years the town hall was rented out for private parties and traveling shows as well as used for board meeings and elections. Ms. Furrow then asked Laurence Chase, chairman of the sign committee, to speak, and he explained that he and Tom Niethamer had started a drive in 1981 to save the town hall, adding he was glad to see that it had been successfid. Tom Niethamer announced to the historical society that Woodland will be celebrating its 150lh anniversary in August of 19R7 and that all persons interested in Barry County history should plan to participate in the observation at that time. The meeting was then adjourned Io reconvene at Woodland Village Park for a potluck picnic. Forty of the people at the meeting went to the picnic in the park, and it was a very good evening for it as the weather was warm but not hot.

Late planting agreement available to farmers '‘Farmers unable to plant by the final planting date because of adverse weather conditions may sign a 20-day Late Planting Agreement, which permits insurance coverage, but provides for a lower guarantee due to the late planting," said Barbara Cranson, district direc tor for the Federal Crop Insurance Corporation (FCIC). Farmers must sign the Late Planting Agreement within 10 days following the final planting date for their area. "The FCIC has expanded the terms of the Late Planting Agreement to in­ clude adverse weather conditions. Previously, late planting was allowed only because of excessive moisture," Cranson said.

It marks the site where the Frenchman Moreau erected a trading post to do business with the local Indian tribes. Known as Bull's Prairie, the area was also the scene of a July 4th celebration, put on by Mr. Bull, In 1846 for area settlers. From an article written byG.R. Watson in 1913. Article loaned by Ruth Miller ot Hastings: In lhe year 1846, on the Fourth of July, a big event for those times was staged up on the prairie. Realizing that many of the settlers and immigrants had lived in places affording more pleasure and amusement, and that many had given up the benefits of an older civilization for the new country. Mr. Bull decided lo hold a regular oldfashioned Fourth of July celebration for the benefit of his friends and neighbors. So lhe word was sent out to all settlers about for a radius of many miles, that something important would be doing on the date previously mentioned. The site upon which the celebration was held has been described as being west from about where the railroad intersects the wagon road. On the nearing of July 4, 1846, roads in every direction presented a peculiar sight. There were vehicles of all descriptions from democrat wagons loaded with happy hearted young people, to wagons drawn by one, and two teams of oxen loaded down wilh humanity be.it upon spending a day of pleasure. During the morning, which was very sultry, end it has been said looked a little rainy, the guests kepi on assembling until over one hundred vehicles were unloaded of their precious freight — especially the young lassies who came escorted by their suitors. The horns of many of the oxen were decorated with ribbons of red, white and blue color, and other decorations are said to have been used, even some few flags. One young man of that time was an old man well past the years that devote lhe octogenarian, yet recalls having taken these young ladies to this picnic celebration, and as ofttimes happens now — incurred lhe displeasure of the fellers who sulked and stayed at home, but for all that this quartet, three girls and one young man had a fine time. It is estimated that when the time came for dinner that there were al least 500 souls of the white people there to do the viands (choice food) ample justice. Near the large burr oak tree under the shade of which a platform had been erected which stood on the prairie, the long table had been built. This was good standing height so that one could stand up to the table and partake of the sumptuous repast. It is in order to say ’hat young saplings had been cut from the forest the butt end of which had been shar­ pened and placed in the ground, and these were ranged up and down both sides of the tabic so that the guests air their dinner well protected from the rays of the mid-summer's sun. Guests came that day from Mid­ dleville, Hastings, Yankee Springs, Duncan Lake. Orangeville, Gull Prairie. Prairieville and even from Kalamazoo County so it is said. In addition, there were somewhere about 50 Indians in attendance al this big celebration including children, squaws and men. Mr. Bull had made ample preparation for all. He owned a large silk flag which had been unfurled to the breeze being displayed upon a pole on this occasion and in fact it was used al other limes, and was even loaned to be used in Hastings on special occasions. Several pigs had been roasted for the main piece of resistance from Mr. Bull's pen. He had brought lemons from Grand Rapids, and lemonade was passed around to all — it having been manufactured by lhe barrels full, to quench the thirst of the celebration. The white people lined up to the table first which was loaded with goodly ihings to eat — pies, cakes, bread, pickles, and roast pig. and lemonade to boot. They stood up and ate and after they had eaten their fill, then lhe Indians gathered around to clean up what was left. It is said that an Indian would go along the road stopping lo eat at every house that he came to. letting out his belt one notch or two after each meal, by so doing, he laid away such a surplus that he could go quite a time without food again. Al any rate, they cleaned up the table that day. About the time that they were done eating or a little before, a bear came through the woods, no doubt called out of his way by the savory odor of roast pig. The Indian dogs found him out at the lime starting their yelping and howling, and the word was passed among lhe Indian that a bear was in the wood at no great distance. Forgetting all else, they dropped everything and the Indian hunters grabbed up what weapons they chanced to have and made after Sir Bruin, who about this lime thought no doubt that he did not care as much for roast pig as he had at first supposed. The bear got away from his enemies eluding them in some way and the Indian came back after lhe fruitless chase. They slept that night down by lhe river bank, being too full to travel far after lhe bear chase — lhe lemonade — and the roast pig. The real entertainment for the day started soon after dinner. A brass band had been engaged al Middleville the winter before and they came out in a wagon drawn by two yokes of oxen to furnish music for the occasion. There were 10 or 12 instruments of various kinds in this band. After some music had been rendered, Calvin G. Hill, who acted as chairman of the meeting, called them to order and after a few, well-chosen remarks, he introduced Albert E. Bull as lhe main speaker of the day. We do not know the words Mr. Bull used in addressing these people, but we know what the sen­ timents and ideas were that he ex­ pressed there that day. It was at this lime that the second Temperance Wave was sweeping across the U.S. and was called the “Red Ribbon Movement". In early days, the use of liquor was a very common occurence. Nu barn raising or log clearing job was complete without the whiskey jug lo cheer on the spirits of lhe workers. Liquor was cheap in those days, and it was lhe custom for many lo start the day with a glass of whiskey, to take another by noon or before; recourse was had to the por­ tions of the jug in the middle of lhe afternoon, and again upon returning to insure pleasant dreams. On this day, Mr. Bull wore a “Red Ribbon" and first talked about the liquor evils and took the side of Tem­ perance afterwards. He commenced his discussion of the meaning of lhe Fourth of July. It has been said that he handled his subject very skillfully. John L. Williams of Hastings was in attendance at inis picnic and program and says nothing happened lo mar the day. It did not even rain. The Williams family lived in Orangeville Township al this time, and lhe dust stirred up by the teams that proceeded his was so much in evidence lhal for some lime it was suspended as it were in lhe air. They noticed this in particular when they had gone as far on their way home as the Yankee Springs "Mansion House". Al lhe time of this picnic. Mr. Bull was 38 years of age. and in the fall of this year, he was united in marriage to Miss Lydia A . Shaw of Volina. Cass Co.. Mich., she being 20 years of age at that time One child was born tn this couple, who died soon after birth Their were no children. i Esther Walton is searching for a photograph of Ida McCoy to copy.

Hastings: 1994 If you could peer into a crystal ball and visualize the future of the Hastings athletic program — say in about 10 years — the low ..er. highlights would look something like this: It seems the Hastings coaching staff remained pretty much the same over the course of 10 years. One exception was in football, where former Saxon head man Bill Karpinski replaced Jeff Simpson as coach. Simpson fled Hastings following lhe 1990 season to accept the position of defensive coordinator at the University of Michigan. Although Simpson is a graduate of MSU. he admitted to being a lifelong closet Wolverine fan. “My secret ambition was always to coach at Michigan." admitted Simpson upon exiting. "Really guys. I’ve always been a Bo Schembechler fan. 1 love lhe U of M. have always loved the U of M. and will continue to love those Wolverines. "In fact. I never missed a game that Bob Ufer broadcasted. He was the best.” Simpson, who doubled as Saxon tennis coach back in 1984, came under heavy fire in the late 1980s when it was alleged he used the tennis program to further the football team. Snorted Simpson when confronted with the accusations: "That’s totally untrue and without substantiation. Never once did one of our punters ever play first singles. "Where do you lousy reporters gel this junk anyway?" Incidently. Karpinski's first year back as head clipboard smasher turned into a rather dismal experience. Under the auspices of Karpinski. Hastings managed only two wins in nine games and finished sixth in the league. A disapointed Karpinski met with the media after the season, but could offer few explanations for the poor record. He wasn't, however, about to emulate the captain of the Titanic and go down with the sinking ship alone. "The kids nowdays are whimps." Karpinski told the media. "These pipsqueaks have absolutely no knowledge of the game Like when I played, the A-Team meant making lhe first string. Now I guess it has something to do with some black guy with a mohawk who hates to fly." In addition. Karpinski was forced to resign as athletic director following lhe 1994 season after an alleged powerplay by Hastings Superintendent Carl Schoessel and Junior High Athletic Director Tom Brighton The alledged powerplay netted Brighton the athletic director position. Schoessel. a well-known Brighton backer, offered a rather weak ex­ plantion for Karpinski’s sudden resignation in a sharply worded, but brief letter to the Hastings School Board. "Frankly. 1 think Bill Karpinski was kicked in the head once too often as a player," stated the letter. "This move is in the best interest of Bill, his family and certainly the school." Things went somewhat smoother for lhe Saxon baseball team, which was still under the watchful eyes of Bernie Oom after 29 years. The team nearly won its third Twin Valley title, but lost a late-season heartbreaker to Coldwater when a attempted squeeze play blew up. Hastings lost lhe game 2-1 and subsequently finished one game behind lhe Cardinals in the standings.

Michael Lesick of the Barry County Sheriff Dept., the project's co-ordinator. The special “enforcement”— which began April 17, 1982 and ended this past April 18— was part of a federal program which provided funds to selected counties across the nation, allowing them to beef up their "drunk driving" enforcement patrols. "Yes, I feel it was a worthwhile venture,” answered Lesick of the enforcement. "It’s exhibited in the statistical information which showed an increase in the number of drunk driving arrests and the fact that fatalities and personal injury accidents were down during that (enforcement) period (compared with previous lime periods and the current year). Lesick said that a tabulation of statistics from all county law enforcement depart­ ments except those of the state police, showed that 323 drivers were arrested on a drunk-driving related offense during the April-to-April period with the special patrol accounting for 32 percent o.‘ them. "During that grant period our drunk driving arrests were up 150 percent from previous years,” he said. Lesick also noted that fatalities were down 42 percent during the grant period from the proceeding couple of years. Lesick added that, since the patrol ended in mid-April. a noticable decline in the number of arrests on drunk driving charges has occurred, but added that he "could not directly attribute that to fact there was no longer a special car on the road". He did feel, however, there was a correlation. "When we had the grant funding we were out there detecting and apprehending drunk Luedecking, Frank Misak. Donald Nevins, drivers," said Lesick.

Under the enforcement program. Barry County received 350,898 in grant money Continued to Page 2 which allowed participating local agencies to man a patrol car at selected times for 32 hours a week. The funds covered resulting prorated expenses in salaries, employee benefits, insurance, gas and oil. equipment maintenance and miscellaneous expenses. The grant also allowed officers in the patrol to receive special training and for the sheriff department to purchase portable breathalizer testing equipment (PBTs) and video taping equipment for use when booking a suspected drunk driver.

Hastings, in the first four months of 1984, cleared 49 percent of reported index crimes, and 80 percent of non-index crimes, for an overall clearance rate of 70 percent. Statewide, the index crime arrest rate is 14 percent, and for non-index 48 percent, for an overall figure of 31 percent. Mark Steinfort, Hastings chief of police, said the figures show "That someplace, the department is doing a real good job. "People watch the police shows on television, and get the idea that all crimes end in the arrest of the perpetrator." he said. “But it's not that way in reality. Nationally, only about 20 person of the serious, index crimes result in an arrest." "We have a bunch of guys who know how to do it and do it right, and are conscientious about it.” said Steinfort. The chief said that Lady Luck had a part in a few arrests, but added "Good police work brings luck.” One good example of a lucky break came last year after the burglary of the Razor's Edge styling salon, when a Hastings City Police officer recognized a keychain in the possession of one of the suspects. The keychain belonged to the officer’s wife, who happened to work at the Razor's Edge. Both suspects were arrested, and later convicted of the crime. Steinfort said citizen involvement also plays a part in Ids officers' success. "Citizen involvement is a lot better lately," he said. “But I'll tell you why. It’s because officers have been going out and talking to the public more, talking to the schools, acting more professional.” Members of the Hastings Police Depart­ ment are Sargeants Austin Loftus, Jack Cross and Lowell Wilde.

Page 2 VIEWPOINT Commentaries from our editorial staff and the community — Sheriff divers inform, entertain cub scouts Editorial Government Watchdogs: Who elected us? Since our editorial two weeks ago about the need for open financial records in local government, we have had the opportunity to discuss the issue with several public officials and private citizens. Though we know some public officials will disagree, we believe that editorials which challenge tlie procedures of local government do more good than harm in the community. But a fair question was raised that deserves to be answered: How can we sit in judgment of the actions of government when public officials are elected by the citizens and newspaper people aren't elected by anybody? We admit that we are not experts. While major metropolitan Dewpapers hire people whu are specialists in their fields of reporting, we depend on generalists rather than specialists. Each of our reporters must be able to report the details of the Barry County Free Fair or a community fundraising drive with the same enthusiasm and quality that goes into a city council, county commission or school board story. The diversity of the stories published in a community newspaper requires us to seek out capable generalists. This is not a disadvantage, but an advantage. We think that thousands of com­ munity newspaper publishers, editors and reporters across the nation would argue along with us that the diversity of small town reporting not only makes our jobs more interesting but gives us a feel for each story’s importance to the community. The parents who want to see their children’s picture on the local playground are as important to us and to the community as government officials that we report about week after week. Our reporters have the opportunity to meet many different people in all walks of life and get a view of Barry County through a wide-angle lens, not a closeup lens. <»pi. xaarata lueaecxtng gives scouts a tew pointers on scuba diving techniques and equipment as part of the Barry County Sheriff Department Dive Van team s demonstration Saturday at Camp Algonquin.

Joseph Hubert, 54, a project engineer al Viking Corporation, became president of the Hastings Rotary Club in ceremonies conducted Monday at the club's meeting in the Hastings Moose Lodge. Hubert has been a member of the club since 1975 and a member of the board of directors for three years. He has served as chairman of the club projects committee and house committee and has been a member of several other committees. He takes over the reigns from Dr. Lynn McConnell. Hubert and his wife, Anne, live at 7 Iron­ side Dr. They have eight children. He has been employed at Viking Corporation for ten years. Franklin E.

Msrijliana raid, State Rep. Robert Bender, R-Middleville, will have no opposition in his run for re­ election after a Democrat who filed against him was disqualified. James Pino, 66, of Rt. 3, Maple Grove Rd., Nashville, was disqualified after he filed petitions for both the clerk of Maple Grove Township and for the stale representative's post. Pino said that he was either misinformed or misunderstood that he had not withdrawn from the race for township clerk. He said that he thought that not filing affidavits for a campaign organization in the township race would automatically qualify him. Pino said that he had originally filed for the township office because no one else had filed and decided that he would drop out after other candidates filed petitions. On June 27, one day before the filing deadline for state representative, Pino said that he was con­ tacted by Helen Root of the Democratic State Central Committee and asked to run for the 88th District seat against Bender. He filed by paying the $100 filing fee in Lansing. "The whole thing was just a misun­ derstanding about how to drop out of the township clerk thing,” he said. Pino, who has lived in Barry County for seven years, ran for Congress in the 8th Congressional District against Alvin Bentley in 1958. He is a former chairman of the Clinton County Democratic Party and is retired from a legislative lobbying group in California. The only other Democrat who had filed against Bender was Eric Reyff of Mid­ dleville, who was disqualified when the state Supreme Court ruled, June 19, that districts drawn by the state legislature in November 1983 were unconstitutional. The court said that the election would be conducted in the same districts as two years ago. Reyff does not live in the 88th District as it currently stands. He did live in the district that had been redrawn by the state legislature, but thrown out by the Supreme Court The State Board of Education will hold a public hearing Friday, July 6 on a property transfer case in Barry County.

He first became a Rotarian in 19h8 while living in the "Thumb" community of Sebewaing. He and his wife. Maxine, live at 640 Indian Hills Dr. They have four children, two sons, both Lutheran ministers, and two daughters, who like their mother, are school teachers. Robert VanBlaricom. the outgoing district governor, a member of the Kalamazoo Rotary, installed Rothfuss in his new position. VanBlaricom noted that the Hastings Rotary Club has been in existence for 64 of Rotary's 79 year history. He said that the Hastings club has produced a dispropor­ tionate share of district governors for its size of club. Rothfuss is preceded as district governor from Hastings by Fred Hill, 1927-28; Kim Sigler, 1937-38; Frank Ritchie, 1958-59; and Dr. Wesley Logan, 1967-62. lEtirri ’ government without newspapers, or newspapers without government, I should not hestitate a moment to prefer the latter.” State rep candidate disqualified from race divers continually stressed water safety to the youngsters, and the importance of learning water skills from a certified in­ structor. The scouts were gathered as part of a three-day Land of Lakes District cub scout day camp. Archery, BB gun practice, swimming and arts and crafts were all part of the scouts' busy schedule. Hubert elected president of Rotary Club As we attempt to fulfill what we view as our role in the community, we think the wide-angle view is a better perspective. It is true that nobody elected us to do our job, while public officials are elected by the people. Many public officials, in fact, devote countless hours at their jobs for little or no pay and make great sacrifices for their community service. They deserve praise for those efforts. And though they chose to run for office, few local public officials are experts and most of their training is on-the-job. However, devoting countless hours to public service does not make anybody immune to criticism. They are working with public funds and all of the citizens are entitled to know how those funds are being spent, how policies are being administered and what new policies are being proposed. government than others, but collectively the public will understand the issues and offer reasonable comments. Our role is to convey the actions of government bodies to the public. Few people attend meetings, but many people are interested in government and we view our job as ensuring that those people who want to read about government can learn a great deal of accurate information through our news columns. Personally, we try to keep well informed so that we can carry out that duty. We also try to ask the questions that the rank-and-file will ask, questions that we perceive to be im­ portant through our general backgrounds. It should be noted that we depend upon government officials to provide as much information as possible so that we can pass it on to the public. In the final analysis, we, like ail newspaper people, like to quote Thomas Jef­ ferson, who said, "...Were it left to me to decide whether we should have a Divers from the Barry County Sheriff Department gave about 125 area cub scouts a lesson in scuba diving and underwater safety Saturday morning, at YMCA Camp Algonquin.

He added that the stats "generally" show that about 75 percent of those picked up were “problem drinkers", persons who from their own comments or from their records have had a history alcohol-related offenses, in­ cluding such things as open intoxicants, being a minor-in-possession, as well as having previous drunk or impaired driving convictions.

The American motion picture industry has Initiated a new movie rating designation, known as PG 13. which supposedly will notify parents that some material in the movie may not be suitable for children under 13. but still tame enough for adolescents to see. The new designation was instituted in reaction to two major films, "Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom", and "Gremlins", which show scenes of violence not recommended for children. Do you think the new rating will keep children out of the theatre? Is the subject matter in the movies really a cause for concern? Steve McCrumb.

All about LATAs, long distance calling, and Michigan Bell discounts. LAIA is a telephone term that's new to all of us. Explaining that LAEA stands for Local Access Transport Area doesn't help much, but LAEAs are really very simple. They're telephone service areas.

Now here's how LATAs work: When you place a long distance call from one IAEA to another telephone number trilbin the same IAEA Michigan Bell can cany the call for you over its own network. When you place a call from one IAEA to another IAEA. either in Michigan or another state, it will be handled by the long distance company that provides that service to you (not Michigan Bell). For exampit. if you call from Detroit to Flint (twx) cities within the same IAEA). Michigan Bell will still be able to handle the call is in the past. But if you call from Detroit to Traverse City (from a city- in one LAEA to a city in a different LAEA), a long distance company other than Michigan Bell will carry' the call. As you may know, there are now a number of different companies you may choose from to provide your long distance senice.

(I10UH2U �The Hastings Bonner— Thursday, July 5, 1984, Page 6 what’s cookin ’ Aud’s Antics... This Week Featuring... The aura & facts about tans by Elaine Gilbr t Mike Miller When Mike Miller gets a yen for a meal with a different twist — one that other family members don't crave — he'll do the cooking himself. "I like !o eat," he says, and that's what interested him in trying a hand at cooking. On the average, Mike says he now cooks about once a week and sometimes more often. "I like a lot of things that nobody else likes to cat, so then I do it (the cooking). "I like spicy foods...hot foods, but a good steak has to be right up there" on his list of favorites. Mike also likes Chinese, Italian and Mexican foods and has some favorite soups and stews that he enjoys. A native of Hastings, a 1967 Hastings High graduate and a lifelong resident, Mike also is a local businessman who participates in community activities in addition to being a husband and father of five. Since about age 13, he has been actively involved in the business his parents, Ruth and Ernie Miller, started 27-years ago. "I knew all along that I wanted to be in the business," said Mike. As a teen he helped with cleaning carpets, installing carpets and other manual labor jobs. Now he serves as manager of the company and treasurer of the Firm. Through the years, Mike has seen the company, located at 107 E. Woodlawn, change and grow. Al one time the company had a small downtown branch for awhile, he said. The biggest change was when an addition was constructed on the rear of the present location, Mike adds. "When we added on the back part, it enlarged the store one-third again ...making it quite large. Mike's wife, Linda, also works at the family business. Their five children are: Melissa, 16, Dawn, 15, Scott, 15. Chad, 12, and Michael, 8. Mike's fondness for Hastings is evident in his community interest. He is a charter member of the Hastings Exchange Club and has served as a director for the past two years. He was formerly active with the Hastings Jaycees. A local Moose member for the past i3-years. he also is affiliated with the N?*ional Rifle Association (NRA). “I like to hunt whenever J can,” he says, whether its for deer, rabbit, squirrel or other small game. Fishing for pan fish is another activity he enjoys. Music is a favorite pastime for Mike, both as a listener and participant. For ap­ proximately seven years, he has been part of a band known as Free Flight. He was also affiliated with the original group when it was known as Echo about 10 years ago. “I'm the sounr man, I have a big mixer board,” said Mike. An avid reco.il collector, he has amassed more than 1.200 albums in a little over two decades. "I joined the Columbia Record Club in 1964 and I'm still a member. "I collect all sorts of records — rock *n roll, classical, country." Over the years, Mike has been a member of various local ball teams, but he says that interest has been superceded with golf. "I golf steady all the lime now...I played baseball in high school and later I played softball and fast-pitch for a lot of different teams. Just as Mike's interests vary from indoor to outdoor activities, so does his cooking. Since grilling is such a popular summer form of cookery, Mike is sharing the technique he uses to grill a steak. "It’s an easy steak...a simple way to grill it. You really have to watch a steak...I almost stand over it all the time. “Most people use the wrong cut of meat. They buy something that's not good and then they're disappointed when they grill it” Mike, as noted in his recipe below, suggests buying a 1 to lli-inch thick steak from the upper section of the Join, such as rib steak. To prevent flame-ups when grilling a steak, he says most of the fat should be trimmed off the meal before it's put on the grill. Flame-ups also happen if the meat is put on before the coals are ready. He stresses that the coals should be "white hot" before grilling. Preparing steak on the grill is a speciality of Mike Miller of Hastings who is treasurer and manager of Miller's Carpet and Furniture. Mike usually cooks about once a week and says he especially enjoys spicy, hot foods. Mika’s Grilled Steak Select a very good cut of meat, preferably 1-inch to 1’^-inches thick, from the upper section of the loin, such as rib steak. Always take a (table) fork and perforate completely on both sides. This lets the seasonings penetrate more thoroughly. Use your favorite seasonings. One I use a lot is: Barbeque seasoning salt. Onion powder. Garlic powder and Seasoned pepper. Sprinkle each of the seasonings lightly on both sides of the steak. Let sit for at least 15minutes al room temperature. Concerning your grill, set your grill ap­ proximately 4-6-inches above your coals. Before cooking, make sure coals are white hot. Cut away most of the fat on steak before putting on grill. Leave steak on for 4-5 minutes on first side, making sure it doesn't flame up over the meat. Now turn the steak over for 3-minutes on other side. After that, take a knife and make a cut about half way through the center of the steak. If it is raw-looking, let cook another minute. If steak looks real pink — take it off the grill, eat and enjoy. For those of you that do not like your meat pink, but brown instead, finish the cut above all the way through and turn both halves over, pink side down. Leave on grill between 3bseconds and one minute. No longer! Now your steak will look brown, but still be juicy and tender. FOR SALE Buy Wholesale — ALL OAK — DELIVERED — Split, Rounds, or 8 Ft.

A TIO N A I. B ANK of ASTINGS WEST STATE AT BROADWAY MEMBER FDIC All deposits insured up to ’100,000 Phone 945-3437 Beauty, mystery, and romance have always been associated with fans. When it was fashionable to carry fans a hundred years ago, young ladies figured out signals to outwit their chaperones. Some of these fan signals were registered al the Patent Office in Washington. D.C., in April 1879. Long before ladies dared open flir­ tationmethods, they used their fans not only to move the air, but also to "move" their young men. Just a flutter of the fan conveyed a message. A fan carried in the right hand in front of the face meant “Follow me!"; carried in the left hand, "Desirous of your acquaintance”; twirled in the left hand, "I wish to get rid of you"; drawn through the hand, "I dislike you"; drawn across the cheek, “I Jove you"; with handle to the lips, "Kiss me"; fan opened wide. "Wait for me". Fluttering or tapping the fan had many in­ terpretations. Fans were known to the ancients, probably originating in the Orient and the Near East. They were used to whisk flies and as screens against sun and wind. There is pictorial evidence in Egyptian reliefs and tomb paintings of the rigid or screen fan. The King Tut collection of gold ar­ tifacts features the base of a large screen fan covered with gold, depicting an ostrich hunt. Thirty holes were drilled in the head of the fan for 30 ostrich plumes. When the tomb, was opened in 1922, a few mouldering ostrich plumes were found with this rigid fan. Assyrians and peoples of India also used this type fan. Chinese used rigid (non-folding) fans in their cermonies centuries ago. Grecian and Roman ladies carried rigid fans of palm leaves, plaited fibers, feathers, and leather. A rigid fan was used in the Medieval Christian church ceremony as the "Flabellum". The church deacon used the flabellum to swat the flies. A modification of the rigid fan was the cockade fan. This fan had a circular pleated leaf which could be folded shut and retracted into a container at the end of the handle. Another modification was the banner fan, a rectangular leaf attached to one side of the handle. The leaf was rigid and the fan was carried like a flag. Rigid fans had specialized uses in Chinese and Japanese life styles. Fans were carried by coir tiers and warriors for use in tea and dance ceremonies. Warriors’ fans were made of iron and leather, carried like batons, and used as weapons in case of attack. Rigid fans were carried in Europe prior to the 16th Century. The folding fan appeared in Asia about the 7th Century. It was charac­ terized by additions of feathers; handpainted leaf, fabric and paper; and jewels, beads, fine lacquer work, ivory, leather, mother-of pearl, shell, or fine woods. Unusual designs became prized possessions. The fan industry in Paris was big business during the 1700s. Fans con­ tinued in popularity in the Western world into the 20th Century. The most valuable part of the folding fan is the material used for the sticks and guards. Wood, shell, bone, horn and ivo;y are favorites. The screen, leaf, or mount — as the folding section is called — may be paper, vellum, fabric, feathers, or leather. The decorations added to the sticks and guards may be inlaid M.O.P., carved ivory or wood, pique work (silver or gold pins pressed into wood), hand-painted, or printed design. Two hundred years ago the manufacture of folding fans was a wellorganized business. Fanmakers were divided into three groups of artisans: the painters, the mounters, and the stick makers. The leaf (body of fan) was prepared on special stretchers. Fan papers were glued, stretched on hoops, and hung to dry. Then the moulder folded the leaf in a mound shape with 20 grooves radiating from the center bottom edge of the half-circle mould. Pinching, or folding was the next step. Probing allowed the sticks to be inserted into the leaf of two layers; the outside and the inside of the fan. After die fan was cut. a band of paper was glued on top of the fan. The leaf was either painted or printed. If rich, heavy fabrics were used, an under layer of taffeta or gauze became the lining. Guards and rivots were placed on the leaf for fir ling the fan. Fanmaking was a long, drawn-out process. All types of hand fans were used in America during the 19th Century. Some fans even had maps or spaces for autographs, and fan exchanges were popular. Fans were used for dance and ball programs. Toward the end of the century, fans became larger. Victorian parlors displayed fans as decorations. Larger fans were designed as fireplace screens. “Working” fans have been used to winnow grain, or as dust pans, and even fire blowers. Exotic fan-dancers, such as Sally Rand, gave the feathred fan new meaning. The beautiful dancer per­ formed nude except for her "fine feathered" fans. Her performances were sensual, but always in good taste. The lovely blonde dancer moved seductively to undulating music, removing and then replacing the fans with absolute precision. Her large fans measured from two to three feet and were covered with feathers in soft pastels. She was clad only in rhinestone high-heels, her fans, and a smile. Chicago's 1933 "Century of Progress" had sensational fan-dancers. Truly valuable fans are often owned privately as collectors' items. Oc­ casionally, these high priced antiques will reach famous auction houses. Many fans are on display in museums. The First Ladies Hall at the Smithsonian Institution exhibits lite mannequins reepresenting Angelica Van Buren, Sarah Polk, Mary Todd Lincoln, Helen Taft, and Grace Coolidge with hand-fans. The restoration of fans is an art in itself. Locating the variety of materials to replace worn parts is very difficult. Display) ng and storing antique fans can present problems. Old fans need protection from temperature and humidity changes, light, dust, insects, and actual human handling. Fragile fans should be kept in boxes (folding ones open if possible) and wrapped in fabric. Plastic wrap and cellophane lend to draw moisture from the air and hold it. Store in a cedar box or chest if possible. When showing old fans, it's a good idea to lay them on trays for viewing. This way they are less likely to be handled. Exposed fans deteriorate quickly. �The Hostings Banner— Thursday. July 5. 1984. Page 7 From Time to Time... / '------------------------------------------------------------- by...Esther Walton The Real McCoys Hastings in the late IBOOs became a better plate partly beca ise of the devotion and energies of a Hastings couple, Archie and Ida FitzSimmons McCoy. Historically, they contributed as much as anyone to help Hastings become a "real city", not only by their financial investments, which were significant, but more importantly by their enthusiastic leadership towanfc a progressive movement. From 1880s to the 1950s. their philanthropic works helped shape Hastings. Archie McCoy was bom at Brockport, New York. July 11. 1853. In 1854, young Archie was brought from his birthplace to Hastings by .iis parents. Just outside of Hastings, they homesteaded a farm. Archie McCoy could remember guarding cattle while his father felled trees. At the age of 17, Mr. McCoy started work as a clerk in a Middleville store. Two years later, he went to Hastings and from there he found employment on the Grand River Valley Railroad, which later became the Michigan Central Railroad. While working on the railroad, he became interested in the furniture business and became associated with John Bessmer of Hastings. In 1881, Mr. McCoy bought out Mr Bessmer s interest and con­ ducted the furniture business full-time. In 1906, he had built the brick building on State Street, called the McCoy building. At the time of construction, it was the most modern building in town having among other things the town’s only elevator. In 1908, Mr. McCoy sold his stock in Stebbins and Glascock and went to work for the Furniture Ex­ change in Grand Rapids, where he worked until his death in 1924. He always maintained his home in Hastings, commuting on weekends. On July 16, 1876, Mr. McCoy married Miss Myrtie Burkle who died young on March 16. 1891. April 23, 1899, Archie married Miss Ida FitzSimmons, the daughter of Warren FitzSimmons, a pioneer miller of Ionia. They had no children. Mr. McCoy-'s influence on the city started in 1880 when Hastings was a backwoods town. Cows ran its streets at large and citizens were forced to put fences about their property. The streets were lanes, there were no sidewalk grades, no street parking, no lawns, no water system. There was an old mill pond which extended along Fall Creek from State Street to beyond Grand Street. Its stagnant waters, filled with the rtfuse of years, was a dreadful menace to public health. All these things Archie McCoy tried to remedy, and that conditions were changed was greatly due to his efforts. The matter of a water works system was something with which Mr. McCoy was especially active. After the fire of 1885. progressive citizens were con­ vinced that the city needed fire protection if factories were to locate in it This was aside from the elements of safety in a supply of pure drinking water The people voted to have a water works system, but the council refused to carry out their wishes. (See article: Banner Tries to Prevent a Hot Time in Town.) At the next election, citizens elected men as aidermen whom they knew would carry out their wishes. They elected Mr. McCoy, W.H. Steb­ bins John M. Bessmer and E.Y. Hogle, all who had been on the planning committee to construct the system. Construction covered a period of two years. Mr. McCoy with several others disliked tosee cattle meander along the business streets. A Banner article on Archie McCoy dated July 29, 1908, tells the story: "When he (Archie McCoy) became elected to the city council, he brought a storm of abuse upon himself by advocating the passage of an or­ dinance prohibiting owners from allowing cattle to run loose in town. His next move was to secure the passage of an ordinance permitting the con­ struction of parking of certain widths between sidewalks and streets. After a hot fight against this measure, it was carried ” The Banner continued, "According to statute, no one could be compelled to build a sidewalk unless a grade was provided. The town had about the worst collection of board walks that ever existed. After another fight. Mr. McCoy and others got the council to provide a system of sidewalks and street grades. As a result. Hastings had more miles of cement walks lhan any other city of its size in the country," concluded The Banner When the Fall Creek Mill pond went out. Mr McCoy was one of the leaders who fought against its reconstruction. The pond had caused, by its unhealthy conditions, diseases which resulted in many deaths in the city. The abandoned mill pond s waler had left behind muddy pools, while the creek found a bed on a higher level. Mr. McCoy asked l he counci 11 o have the creek turned into its natural bed and carry away the stagnant water. The council agreed to do so and then revoked the measure. Mr. McCoy with good foresight saw that it must be done. At his own expense, he had the work done. The channel was dug and the pools were connected. The night of the last day's work, there came a rain which flooded the entire pond and the water swept everything including the impurities through the channel into the river. The council thanked him for ARCHIE M»COY the work and paid for it. Following this work, Mr. McCoy was elected mayor, serving two years. He saw the possibilities of beautifying Riverside Cemetery and in his executive's position, succeeded in having a water main extended to the cemetery. At this time, Mr. McCoy was engaged in other public movements. Housed his influence to help the sale of stock for the construction of the C.K.& S. railroad. He also helped to organize a Building and Loan Association and assisted in forming the Hastings Electric Light Company, of both of which he was treasurer. Mr. McCoy was also largely instrumental in having the soldiers' monument erected in Hastings. During his lifetime, he had also always liberally supported the churches of Hastings and there was not a church in the city which he had hot aided financially in its construction. There was in the early '90s a general movement among the businessmen to build up the town by inviting factories to locate in it. This was done by a tax which was used to help defray the relocation costs. This had the result in doubling the population between 1890 and 1910. The first factory to be organized was the Hastings Furniture Factory of which Mr. McCoy was president and a large stockholder. A little later, the Whip factory was organized and Mr. McCoy was one of the principal stockholders. The Hastings Chair Company was next organized and again Mr. McCoy's investment in the com­ pany was heavy. Then, while McCoy was holding all of this stock, came the panic of 1893, in which his stock became worthless. In settlement for these stocks, which had so depreciated in value that he was forced to sell six dollars worth of stock to pay one. Mr. McCoy sacrificed his entire business and property, including his exemptions, and mortgaged his home He began his business life anew and paid off all his debts. Archie McCoy's marriage to Ida FitzSimmons increased his fortunes. Mrs. McCoy had three college degrees, two in music and one in teaching. She conducted a school of musicel and dramatic art in Hastings. It was through Mrs. McCoy's efforts that music was first taught in the public schools of Hastings. It took her five years to accomplish this. After Mrs. McCoy came to Hastings, she began to give private music lessons and was also organist in several churches. She continued to teach up to the year before she died at age 84. Mrs. McCoy was regarded as one of Hastings' most public spirited women and was the founder of the New Ideas Club, which was organized on Nov. 12, 1925. On that dale, a group of women met at Mrs. McCoy's house and organized the club to help the less fortunate. This idea was carried on for wars with members furnishing Christmas dinners for aged and shut-ins, aiding children, especially those from four to nine years old. to have a happy Christmas. This club was extremely active during the depression of the 1930s. Along with this philanthropic work, the members decided to save their money for a definite civic project and chose the then new Pennock Hospital as an objective. At Ida McCoy's death in 1951, she made generous financial gifts to Pennock Hospital and to the First Presbyterian Church for a new organ. Now all the tangible remains of Archie and Ida McCoy are their graves in Riverside Cemetery and the McCoy building on State Street, a memorial to their devotion and hard work toward a better community.

Page 9 Collecting baseball memories by Steve Vedder Hastings Connie Mack team drops three, Delton loses two The Hastings repesentative in the Tri Cuunty Connie Mack league lost to Wayland 7-1 and a doubleheader to Dowagiac 10-0 and 13-5 last week. In the Wayland loss, Jon Christensen was tagged with the loss. Mike McLean relieved him in the fourth inning, when Wayland broke the game open with five runs. Mike Karpinski tripled and scored on a ground out for Hastings’ only run. Gregg Shaeffer and Tim Schoessel each had singles. In the doubleheader loss to Dowagiac, Shaeffer and Steve Hayes were the lasing pitchers. Jon and Joel Christensen each had two hits in the opener while Shaeffer had a single and triple in the nightcap. Hastings is now 2-4 on the year. Meanwhile, Delton's Connie Mack team lost a pair of Wayland 10-1 and 12-2. Tony S Finn and Kyle Aukerman picked up the losses in those games. Robert Searles, Aukerman, and Duug Blesch each had three hits in the second game while Searles had the only Delton hit in the opener. ELKS GOLF LEAGUE J. Flood. 66: P. Edworth. 100: B.

Wilson. 6-5's; Sports.. • at a glance by Steve Vedder Which is harder: hitting a baseball or golf? The conversation arose quite in­ nocently — as these kind of powwows usually do — late one night. After resolving the Middle East situation, systematically determining whether Strohs was better than Bud­ weiser, and critiquing newspapers, it was only a matter of time before a sports topic popped into the confab. There was no black and white, right or wrong answer to this question. We couldn’t, as Casey Stengel used to challenge sportswriters, “look it up.” After all, determining the single hardest feat in all of sports depends entirely on one's own point of view. After tossing out auto racing and playing goalie in the NHL, we were able to narrow the choices to two, but couldn't settle on THE mor.t difficult. We couldn't agree on which was harder: hitting a baseball zeroing in on you at 90 miles per hour or hitting a golf ball consistently. Not surprisingly, to succeed in either takes almost the same physical and even mental talents. For exam pie, the most critical part of either has to be the swing. In both baseball and golf, the swing must be an easy, fluid motion. Overswinging is common to both hitters and golfers and must be overcome to be successful. Unless a player possesses such a natural swing, he'll never amount to anything as a golfer or hitter. Another factor common to both is the ability to keep the head on the ball. How many times does a batting coach scream at a hitler to keep the head in, or a golf instructor preach keeping a head on the ball. Usually if a golfer or hitler finds himself mired in a slump it's because he's not watching his chib or bat hit the ball. Here again, in both golf and baseball watching the ball separates the mediocre and poor from the successful and talented. A third trait common to both is a proper grip. Simple, minute changes in either a baseball grip or one of the multitude of golf grips can result in higher batting averages or lower scores. Players should experiment with several grips before settling on one. Which brings us to another similarity: practice. Hitting a baseball or driving a golf ball consistently cannot be achieved without practice, practice, and more practice Nobody can just waltz onto a putting green or into a batter’s box and excel without hours and hours of hard work. A last triat both have in common is concentration A golfer ora batter must possess the ability to blot out everything else from his mind except what he's supposed to be doing. His mind must be directed on the previously mentioned aspects of golf and hitting — not on the zillion or so other things that can filter through a brain The successful golfer or hitter will be the one concentrating on the task at hand. The unsuccessful person is the one worrying about the blonde with the short skirt on the ninth green. Having discussed all this late that one night we already mentioned, we had to come to a final decision which of these was tougher. 1 voted for hitting a baseball for three reasons. The foremost reason is simply because it has to be more difficult to hit an object that, besides tearing through the air at 90 miles per hour, dips, curves, sinks, and even rises. At least a golf ball just lies there on the lee, fairway, or green (for me it's usually the rough) staring up at you, daring you to hit it straight. The second reason is somewhat tied Io the first: the fear of being hit. Any hitter that claims they don't fear a baseball sailing at their head is breaking the Ninth Commandment. Fear is something that every batter must overcome, must deal with, on his own. There has been many a .220 hitter who'll never see .300 that simply will never overcome their fear of being beaned. How much of a part does fear play in hitting a golf ball? Thirdly, let’s look at the percentages. Because hitting a baseball is more difficult a batter need only notch three hits in 10 chances to be considered successful. Because it is an easier feat, a golfer must be able hit eight or nine shots out of 10 to be successful. Because of those three reasons, the contention here is that hitting a baseball is more difficult than hitting a golf ball. The conclusion doesn't mean to in­ sinuate golf is an easy sport. If it were, the PGz\ circuit would be overcrowded with ex-sportswriters. Gary Van Houten was much the same as any other 13-year old baseball fan. Nickel in hand, he’d pedal down to the corner supermarket once or twice a week, lay his hard-earned money on the counter, and bound away with a single pack of five 212 x 334-inch strips of cardboard and a stick of gum. Before his feet even hit the sidewalk. Van Houten would rip open his precious pack of baseball cards searching for shots of his favorite ballplayers. There, nestled underneath the thin paper, would be such obscure 1950ish major leaguers as Bobby Avila, or Clint Courtney, or maybe even Luke Easter. “Nuts," Van Houten would mutter to himself. "Got all of those guys three times already." Then there would be the days Van Houten might get lucky when the pack would produce a Stan Musial or a Willie Mays. Funny isn’t it, how some things never change? Now it’s 1984 and Van Houten isn't 13 anymore, but 42 instead. The habit of collecting baseball cards, however, never did change. “You always hear the stories of mothers throwing out their son's baseball card collections," smiles Van Houten, who ob­ viously loves pouring over bubble gum cards. "Well, mine saved my collection.” Van Houten, who lives on Hanover Street in Hastings, stopped collecting baseball cards in the early 1950s. His 1.200 card collection lay doormant until the eariy 1970s when he heard of big money being payed oui by collectors for certain major league stars. He dusted off the old collection and promptly sold some 600 cards. "Sold’em off for practically nothing," groans VanHouten now. "I could have got a lot more for them if I'd known what I was doing." The selling off of the cards, however, rekindled an old flame buried deep within Van Houten's childhood, tie began buying and selling more cards and now. along with sons Trevor. 14, and Kyle. ’.1, attend three or four card shows a year in such places as Traverse City. Kalamazoo, Lansing, Grand Rapids, or Lima, Ohio. Their collection of cards, which now in­ cludes football, basketball, and hockey as well as baseball, runs into the thousands. He is quick to point out. however, he remains a collector, not a dealer. "I'm a collector." he says. "Any profit I make is pul back into my collection so I can collect more of the cards I'm interested in." Van Houten's favoritecollection of cards in his 1953 Bowman series — the first time baseball cards were in produced in color instead of reproducing paintings of the players. He used to have a substantial number of Harvey Kuenn cards until the Tigers unloaded him to Cleveland prior to the 1960 season. "When the Tigers traded Kuenn for (Rocky) Colavito I was done as a Tiger fan." acknowledges Van Houten, shaking his head. Other personal favorites in Van Houten's collection include a 1954 Mickey Mantle, a 1960 Carl Yastrzemski. a 1964 Pete Rose rookie, and a 1953 autographed Buwman card of Stan Musial. He also has three mint sets of Kellogg 3-D cards from the 1977, 78 and 79 seasons. Some of his cards are worth as much as $120, some only pennies. Money, however, isn’t Van Houten's primary concern. “I was never in it (collecting) for the money.” he admits. “I just wanted to complete the favorite sets I had. “It's just a good habit for the boys and I to do together, something to fill their time. There are too many ways to get in trouble these days. "When we go to a card show there is a lot of time spent in preparation. Sometimes it lakes us several nights to get things straight." Van Houten is not in the dark, however, over how to turna buck in the card collecting business. He suggests investing in players' rookie cards or. in other words, the first time players appear on a bubble gum card. Why are those type of cards so popular? "Nobody can explain it and it’s getting out of control." says Van Houten, noting some of the prices being asked for rookie cards. For instance, he cites the example of former Tiger Glenn Wilson, who burst upon the major league scene three years ago with a bang. Wilson’s card sold for as much as 40 cents back then, but because not much has been heard from Wilson since then, the price of the card has now dropped to as little as a penny. At the other end of the spectrum is Atlanta's Dale Murphy, who began his career slowly, but who has won back-to-back Most Valuable Player award; the last two years. His card sold for a nickel in 1977 and now goes for as much as $25 in Atlanta One more MVP award and his card might skyrocket to $100, says Van Houten. Van Houten says the popularity of football z cards still trails those cards of the national pastime. "They just have never been worth as much as baseball cards." he notes sheepishly. “1 hope some day they'll be worth as much as baseball cards, because I have a lot of 'em." Sometimes the kid in us nevet leaves. Sports Cub, Peewee Leagues battle it out last week Cub League In the Cub League world series, the Tigers blew the Braves away by a score of 16-2. The Tigers scored seven runs in the first inning on four hits.

Matt Anton with a home run and a double, and Shawn Davis with a triple and a single. The leading hitters for the Reds were Brian Sherry with a triple and a single, John Stark with a home run, a triple, and a double, and Chris Youngs with a home run.

July 5. 19B4. Page 10 Hastings woman named to state board At a recent meeting held at the Grand Hotel on Mackinac Island, the Michigan Association of Hospital Auxiliaries (MAHA) elected new state officers for the year 198485. Serving as chairman of the Bylaws and Policy Committee will be Kathryn Fen is of 420 Tanner Lake Rd., Hastings. Mrs. Ferris is a member of the Pennock Hospital Auxiliary. During her 17 years of volunteer service to the hospital, Mrs. Ferris has served as president of the auxiliary in 1975 and again in 1982-83. She is presently historian of the MAHA Southwest District and is also president of the Barry County Republican Women. MAHA serves as a link between its member hospital auxiliaries, the Michigan Hospital Association and the American Hospital Association in a concern for wellness and health care. The 152-member auxiliaries in six districts around the state represent over 44,000 hospital volunteers. Girl Scouts cite officers Area Births: The tables were turned somewhat last week when these members of Girl Scout Troop 217 cited CpI. Michael Lesick of the Barry County Sheriff Dept, (left) and CpI. Larry Savedge of the Barry Township Police Dept., along with the sheriff department. The two officers and the department were given certificates in appreciation for the presentation they gave to the troop on law enforcement, including the various agencies, law enforcement responsibilities, their own per­ sonnel experiences, the technology, and the differences in handling juveniles and adults. The troop, which is sponsored by the Hastings Kiwanis, was also given a tour of the jail. That tour, plus the presentation, allowed 13 of the scouts to earn their "law enforcement" badges. Shown here with the officers are (from left) troop leader Mickey Fisk, Roberta Groner, Brenda Hayes, and Kassi Laubaugh. IT’S A BOY Fran and Laurie Lanciaux, Ft.

The HASTINGS BANNER - Call (616) 948-8051 CARDS OF THANKS CUSTOM FRAMING Hastings School Board to elect officers The Hastings Board of Education is ex­ pected to approve the following slate of of­ ficers for 1984-85: Diane Hoekstra, president; James Toburen, vice president; Richard Shaw, secretary; and Larry Haywood, treasurer. The board will hold its annual organizational meeting Monday, July 9 al 7:30 p.m. in the Hastings Junior High vocal music room. The board is also expected to endorse an August 7 ballot proposal to freeze county tax allocations for the next six years. Barry County's tax allocation is currently set at 15mills and the schools receive eight of those mills. Supt. Carl A. Schoessel said that there are three favorable reasons for freezing the millage. "It will give stability to the financial situation, help the (school) board develop the budget each year based on what the county will give, and save tax dollars because the county (tax allocation) board will not have to meet annually," he said. County Clerk Norval Thaler said that there is a large percentage of counties in the state that have fixed millages. Thaler explained that by fixing the millage, it will save a lot of work on the part of a few people plus the expenses incurred when the county tax allocation board meets. In other business, the board is expected to accept $2,522 in gift money from parents and Marriage Licenses: _____ FUELGAS it <?5Jastings QIIoum Slop • • • e Marine 2nd Lt. William M.

Bowers, 5442 Winans Rd., Johnstown Township, died Friday after being thrown from a trolley cart at his home on Long Lake, Cloverdale. State police from the Battle Creek post said Bowers, 78, and his wife, Elnara, 77, were riding in the cart, which carries passengers up an em­ bankment from the beach to the Bowers' home, when the mishap oc­ curred. According to reports, the cart malfunctioned about S p.m. Friday when a chain guiding it slipped from its sprocket. Troopers said the cart slipped back­ wards, throwing the Bowers about seven to eight feet. Mr. Bowers was taken to Pennock Hospital, but was pronounced dead, about one hour after the incident. Mrs. Bowers, who reportedly landed on her husband, was treated and released. Bowers served as building inspector in Bedford Township, Calhoun County, for several years in the late 1950s and early 1960s. He was also employed for 29 years at the Battle Creek Post Office, retiring in 1972. The Bowers had been married for 56 years. Man critical after S. Hanover crash A 28-year-old Grand Rapids man is in serious condition at Grand Rapids* Butterworth hospital with head injuries after his car rolled over on 8. Hanover Street in Hastings early Sunday morning. Hastings City Police said Stuart Alan Videan was northbound on S. Hanover about 2:50 a.m. when he “failed to negotiate a curve", left the roadway, and rolled his 1983 Renault. Workers from the Hastings Fire Department used extraction equipment to free Videan from the wreckage, after his foot reportedly became trapped under his car. Videan was rushed to Pennock Hospital, z and later transferred to Butterworth Hospital, where his vital signs are stable, a hospital spokeswoman said Wednesday. Council approves dynamite for test The Hastings City Corneil has given the go-ahead to a ML Pleasant gas and oil exploration firm for the un­ derground detonation of dynamite inside the city limits. Norm Budnick, a permit agent for HoskingGeophysical, said his company would like to begin testing for natural gas and oil in Barry County sometime next week. He told coucllmembers the process, called seismic testing, involves setting off tu-pound charges of dynamite, four at a time, in holes five feet deep, and about 24 inches in diameter, along a line four miles long inside Hastings Township. Approximately mile of the line lies within the city limits. Budnick said sound waves produced by the explosions are picked up by a wire on top of the testing line, which is connected to a recording truck. Bud­ nick said a total of 30 charges will be detonated inside the dty limits. He said the sound of the explosion will be barely audible above ground, due to the small size of the charges, and the depth of the detonation.

Thursdoy, July 12. 1984 Price 25« Ionia judge will hear microwave case by Ken Reibel The presiding judge in the case of a Caledonia woman accused of subjecting her infant daughter to microwave radiation has been disqualified, and an Ionia County judge has been appointed to hear the case in Barry County. Hearing the case in Barry County Circuit Court will be Ionia 8th Judicial Circuit Court Judge Charles W. Simon, Jr. A new trial date for Claudia Joyce Raynes, 34 formerly of Caledonia, has not been set, according to the Ionia judge's secretary. Raynes, who now lives in‘Lake Odessa, is charged with child cruelty and neglect, a felony punishable by up to four years. Her trial was scheduled for July 9. Another Ionia Judge, James L. Banks, disqualified Barry-Eaton Circuit Court Judge Hudson E. Deming from further presiding over the case, following a June 29 hearing. State Court Administrator Dan Walsh chose Judge Simon on Monday. Raynes's attorney, William Mills of Grand Rapids, said he asked for Deming's disqualification because Deming refused to hear Raynes's no-contest plea in March, 1983. “We felt that because Claudia would not even have a right to tender that plea, because of the judge's feelings, that he should be disqualified." said Mills. Deming refused a guilty plea from Raynes in February. 1983. claiming that the woman's description of the crime did not match the elements of the crime of child neglect and cruelty. Raynes told the judge that she placed the child on an ironing board in front of the oven, then used the oven to warm a bottle of for­ mula. She said she then left the room for a moment, and returned to find the infant's "skin peeling." One month later, Deming refused to en­ tertain a no-contest plea from Raynes, citing a court rule which prevented judges from questioning the defendant about the crime in a no-contest plea. Both the defense and prosecution appealed Dentings' decision to the Michigan Court of Appeals, and the Michigan Supreme Court Both courts rejected the appeals, saying only ' The court is not persuaded that the questions presented should now be reviewed by the court." Mills said his appeal to the two high courts "had nothing to do with Demings* refusal to accept a no-contest plea," but did not elaborate. When asked if a new judge could entertain a second no-contest plea. Mills answered City’s benefits snag contract The timing of dental benefits is the only thing keeping the City of Hastings and 16 members of the Department of Public Works from i atifying a two-year contract, according to the workers' union str ward. The old contract, also for two-years, expired July 1. Tim Girrbach, of AFL-CIO Council 25, Union 1910, said the union mem­ bership is pushing for a plan that would begin dental benefits in the first year of the contract. The city wants the benefits to start in the second year. Girrbach said the city and union have agreed on a 54 percent wage hike the, first year, and 5 percent the second year of the contract, since negotiations began April 30. He said the two sides have also ironed out differences in “language changes" and vacation time. Girrbach said it will be August I before talks can start again — both he and the union representative, Glenn Marshall of the union’s Kalamazoo office, are vacationing in July. Meanwhile, the dty has ratified a two-year contract with members of the Hastings Fire Department. By a five to one vote during the city council's Monday night meeting, the council approved a contract which also increased firefighters salary by 5.5 percent the first year, and 5 percent the second. Hastings Tire Department em­ ployees apparently aren't as fussy though about their dental benefits — they agreed to a 50-50 co-pay plan that will start in the second year of the -contract. There are currently three full-time employees of the Hastings Fire Department. Starting wage is $18,482.45 a year, based on a 56-hour work week. Fire Chief Roger Carls said the new contract replaces a one-year agreement that expired June 30. "I'm not going to interpret the law, or in­ terpret those two cases for you.” When asked if Raynes would try pleading no-contest to the new judge, Mills answered “We haven't decided what we're going to do yet." Barry County Assistant Prosecutor Dale Crowley said he had to agree that Mills had a good argument for Demings' disqualification. “Effectively, Mills's client was being precluded from a plea which she should at least have the opportunity to submit to a judge." said Crowley. Crowley said he could not comment on whether a new judge would still be barred from accepting a no^contest plea. “We will gel another judge, and with another judge we will not be faced with Lie ruling which Judge Deming made...which was not even en­ tertaining nor deciding if a plea would be appropriate in the case." Mills reserved some bitter words for the media's coverage of the 20-month long case. “I think that this case would have been completed a long time ago without the gross distortion by the media, both the newspapers and radio...All I ask from the Hastings Banner is that it reports the case accurately. “It becomes worse and worse every time. You see headlines "Baby in a microwave oven", all this sort of stuff. There's no proof of that, it hasn't been established yet. This young baby is back with her mother, and has been for a long time. “I’m getting tired of talking about it. What we're hoping to do with the new judge is get the case resolved, and get the media off these people's backs, so the system of justice can work the way it's supposed to be. If you want to report a story, fine, just report it ac­ curately," said Mills. According to Robert Nida, Barry County Probate Court administrator, a court case worker visits the Raynes home twict a week under the court's home intensive care program. “The case worker provides counselling," explained Nida, without referring directly to the Rayne« family. "In neglect cases, you usually have multiple problems, and it's a matter of solving those problems." Nida said any further patterns of abuse in a family with a neglectful history would be picked up by the case worker. "At the rate of two visits a week, he’ll pick up on any problems. And since he’s an officer of the court, he'll report iL" Raynes was arraigned Jan. 20, 1983. for child neglect and cruelly, after surrendering herself to state police at the Wayland post The charges against her stem from an Oct. 31, 1982 incident which left Raynes’s eightweek old daughter, Tracey, with burns over her arms, legs and abdomen. Doctors at a Grand Rapids' hospital were reportedly forced to amputate part of the infant's left hand, and right fool, and to remove part of her abdomen, as a result of the burns. Though slate police investigators said the burns were caused by placing the child in a microwave oven, formal charges against Raynes allege that the woman “did willfully, unlawfully or neglectfully deprive said child of necessary food, shelter, protection, to wit: protection from microwave radiation." Board objects to missing iist of checks by Norma Acker Sheriff appointed to committee Barry County Sheriff David Wood has been appointed as a Michigan Sheriff’s Association representative to the Law Enforcement Information Network Policy Council (LEIN). As a member of the council, he was placed on two subcommittees, the Terminal Application Review Com­ mittee and the Security and Privacy Committee. These committees control and review any violations or misuse of terminal information and determine the agencies that will be allowed on the system. The LEIN system is a computer­ network that links law enforcement agencies throughout the United States to computerized information, such as criminal records, vehicle information, missing persons, stolen and recovered property and administrative in­ formation. Banner New officers of the Hastings Board of Education are (seated) Diane Hoekstra, president; James Toburen, vice-president; (standing, from left) Richard Show, secretary; and Larry Haywood, treasurer. The officers took charge ot Monday's annual organizational meeting. A new streamlined monthly financial statement that no longer lists each check written by Hastings Area Schools raised objections from several school board members, Monday. Trustee George Wibalda said that while he may be old fashioned, he liked seeing the itemized checks. “I guess I want to make myself clear." he said. "It's not that 1 mistrust anyone. I just think it’s good to look over. I don't necessarily find things that are wrong. Maybe I'm just old fashioned." Board Secretary Richard Shaw, however, defended the new statements conceived by the finance committee. "I'm not interested inwiickels and dimes, who we are paying $9.50 in mileage to," Shaw said, explaining that he was more interested in categories of expenses which are shown on the new reports. Trustee Larry Haywood agreed with Wibalda, saying that he also preferred seeing the itemized expenditures, but that he would automatically see them as the board's treasurer. • Trustee Dr. William Baxter, while siding with Shaw and saying that he was not par­ ticularly interested in the individual checks, suggested that the board continue to provide itemized lists as well as the new categories. Continued on page 12 City spends $32,000 of ’83-84 budget by Ken Reibel One week into the 1984-85 budget year, the Hastings City Council spent $32,000 in monies which may or may not be left over from the 1983-84 budget year. It was noted by Mayor William Cook that any difference between what was left over from last year's budget, and what was spent, will be made up with money from the city's unappropriated fund budget. That fund currently totals about $500,000. The first request for money came from the insurance committee. Chairwoman Mary Lou Gray, noted that the city owed $17,023.74 io Yeager and Company. Inc., a self­ insurance program, for losses "incurred but not reported" by city employees over the last three months of the city's contract with the firm That payment is only the first of three. The total amount owed by the city to Yeager is $51,071.22. The entire amount will come off the 1983-84 budget, or the unappropriated surplus. Hastings left Yeager June 1. after state lawmakers prohibited municipalities from pooling their resources into insurance trusts The city has since signed on with Blue Cross­ Blue Shield. Gray told councilmembers that Hastings employees represented 10.6 percent of the 824 workers covered by Yeager in 24 municipalities. Council also dipped into the past year's budget to balance the books for the city fire and police departments. The Hastings Police Department ended the budget year about $3,642 in the red. while the fire department fell short by $3,747 Mayor Cook noted that the two depart­ ments finished over budget "mainly due to an increase in payroll." Council also paid out $7,232.67 to Hidden Valley Apartments, as a result of a recent ruling by the Slate Tax Tribunal That money too will come from leftover 1983-84 funds, and if none exist, the unappropriated fund budget. According to Mike Payne, city assessor. the payback is a result of overassessment in the years 1981 to 1983. Payne said his office assessed Hidden Valley in 1981 and 1982 at $715,000, and $850,000 in 1983. The state tax tribunal ruled that the true assessments in those years should have been $625,000 in 1981 and 1982. and $650,000 in 1983. The city was further ordered by the court to bold firm Hidden Valley’s assessment for 1984. The payment included interest on tax money which the tribunal ruled shouldn't have been paid out. Payne “referred to the discrepency as “an argument over the value of the total property, and the technique of assessing it." It was the second time in two weeks tnat the council had dipped into the unap­ propriated fund budget. However, the exact amount left over from the 1983-84 budget year, which ended June 30. won't be known until the city's auditors submit their final report sometime in September. Continued on page 2 Fairtime nears — Like dwindling shadows, the time before this year's Barry County Free Fair begins its annual run has become shorter and shorter. Once again visitors con explore the dark, exciting world of carnival barkers and flashing rides, while also enjoying the more familiar realm of 4-H displays, livestock judging and the sight of hometown friends. The fair starts Saturday and continues for seven more days. �Page 2 — The Hostings Banner — Thursday, July 12,1984 VIEWPOINT: Commentaries from our editorial staff and the community — THE FAIR Things are looking up! Things are on the upswing far the Barry County Free Fair as it moves into its 132nd year as the county’s biggest summer event. Not only have some major improvements been made to the grounds, but financially, the Fair Board expects to operate on the “black" side of the ledger. The Fair Board deserves congratulations for -ome good management and progressive decisions. They are not yet clear of financial problems, however, and they need the support of the people, industries and businesses. Last year the board ended up more than 12,000 in the black, plus had additional donations of almost >15,000, some of which were used to pay off a deficit from previous years. The donations came from fundraising efforts of 4-H members and interested individuals. This year the board has a budget of $110,000 and, providing the weather cooperates, expects to again run in the black. Based or an improved operating budget and an engineer’s report that the old grandstands were structurally unsound, the board razed the old seats and had a firm construct a new, bigger grandstand at a cost of $46,800. This debt needs to be paid off and the board hopes much of the money can be raised through donations. Register of Deeds and Mrs. Howard Ferris, longtime supporters of the fair, con­ ceived of a campaign to solicit contributors to pay for one seat each, at a cost of $35 a seat. The Fair Board liked the idea, so they added the inducement of a free grandstand show ticket for every $35 seat sold. That fund is growing but is a long way from $46,800. Fair Board President Richard Welton says that the board needs the support of people who can donate $5 or $10 as well as those who can donate $500. The Fair Board has also made moves to decrease the cost of putting on grand­ stand shows, while still providing quality entertainment. The Original Royal Lippizzan Stallions have been booked for two nights on a percentage of the gate rather than a flat fee. In other years, grandstand shows that didn't draw a crowd would still walk away with a big fee, leaving the Fair Board strapped for cash. Barry County's Free Fair is a grass roots event that involves people from across the county and brings folks from all walks of life together. Though most of the work is volunteer and all of the board members, supervisors and 4-H leaders donate countless hours, it still takes a lot of money to continue conducting the events of summer's biggest week. Be sure to visit the fair next week and, when you are there, make a contribution that will help pay for the improvements this year and even better fairs in the future. Nashville man demands exam for hospital assault A 23-year-okJ Nashville man demanded exam in Barry County District Court Tuesday' for an assault on a woman in a hallway at Pennock Hospital. Barry County District Court Judge Gary Holman set a July 16 exam for William E. Harrington. Lawrence Rd., and set bond at $2,500 cash or surety. Hastings City Police Deputy Chief Gordon Trick said the attack took place in the hallway between the Physician’s Center and the hospital. He said Harrington approached a woman, identified as a receptionist in a physician's office, and asked for directions. “She told him that he was on the wrong floor to go where he wanted to go, and he walked toward her and reached with both hands and pulled her dress up over her waist," said Trick. “She screamed, he grabbed her again, and she took off." Trick said Det. Dana Steidle drew a composite sketch of the suspect, based on the woman’s description, and alerted the hospital staff of the attack. It was the staff at Barry County Mental Health that identified Harrington from the sketch, said Trick. Harrington was arrested early Monday afternoon, about three hours after the alleged attack. Recommendation given to raise salaries of county officials A compensation board— appointed in late April to determine salaries of elected county officials for the upcoming two years— has recommended across-the-board pay raises next year and again in 1986. As allowed under statute, the sevenmemljer committee was selected to review the salaries received by the prosecutor, sheriff, clerk, treasurer, register of deeds, drain commissioner and the board of com­ mission members. Under regulations governing such bodies, the compensation board had 45 days after its organizational meeting to decide on 1965 and 1986 salaries for these county officials. The board will not meet again until 1986 at which time it'll consider salaries for the following two years. Robert Picking of Hastings, a member of the compensation board, presented his group's recommendations to the com­ missioners at the latter’s Tuesday meeting. "It was a very difficult process," he told them. "We tried to take into consideration living costs and expenses two years down the road and what would be adaquete com­ pensation. We attempted to be fair with you (board of commissioners) and these other elected officials." Recommendations were to increase the prosecuting attorney from $38,677 in 1984 to $40,684 in 1985 and $42,406 in 1966, the sheriff from $27,359 in 1984 to $29,425 in 1965 and $30,838 in 1986, the clerk from $23,053 in 1984 to $24,322 in P85 and $25,285 in 1986, the treasurer from $22,552 in 1984 to $23,680 in 1985 and $24,650 in 1986, the register of deeds from $21,179 in 1984 to $22,248 in 1965 and $23,190 in 1986. and the drain commissioner >— The Hastings from $18,106 in 1984 to $19,148 in 1985 and $20,000 in 1986. Picking said that the board only acted on the salary portion of the drain commissioner, not the fees which are received by that of­ ficer. It was also recommended that board of commission members have their annual salary raised from $4231.50 this year to $5500 in 1985 and $5800 in 1986. Picking said that, if statute prohibted that increase between 1985 and 1986, then the recommendation was for $5650 each year. It was further recommended that the commissioner’s per diem rate be increased from $25 a meeting to $30. "We felt this (the per diem rate) was one area that has not changed recently and we also took into consideration the amount of time spent in meetings, particularly since there are fewer commissioners now than in the past," he explained. Picking said that the compensation board held several meetings, interviewingall of the elected officials and two board of com­ mission members. The board also studied compensation information it received from the state and from the various counties it was designated to study, and received in.put from the City of Hastings which uses a compensation board to determine salaries. "We had differences of opinion," Picking noted, "We made compromises though as you have to do in such cases and came up with a decision that was unanimous." The commissioners voted to accept the report and have until this fall to decide whether to approve the recommendations. Banner -------------------------------------------S«nd form P.S. 3579 to P.O.

Detroit man gets 30 to 45 years in prison A 49-year-dd Detroit man was sentenced to 30 to 45 years in prison Friday for the Nov. 3, 1983 break-in of a Thomapple Lake Road home. In addition to time served for the break-in, William Boyd, 3016 Annabelle, was sen­ tenced on a supplemental charge of being an habitual offender. He could have received up to life in prison. A Barry County Circuit Court jury returned a guilty verdict against Boyd in May for the Nov. 3, 1982 break-in of a Thornapple Lake Rd. home, a 15-year felony. The jury returned a second verdict, after only 4 hour of deliberation, on a sup­ plemental charge of being an habitual of­ fender. Under Michigan law, that charge carries a sentence of up to life in prison. According tocourt records, Boyd has three previous felony convictions dating back to 1976. He was convicted on Feb. 12 of that year in Scott County, Mo., of felonious assault. On August 15, 1979, he was convicted in Sedgwick County, Kan., of robbery, and on Nov. 12,1982, in Seward County, Neb., of first degree arson. Boyd's attorney, James Fisher of Hastings, argued prior to sentencing that Boyd has suffered from mental illness for several years. Fisher said that Boyd's prior convictions included stealing a garbage truck, and setting fire to his jail cell. The latter offense was charged as first degree arson. Boyd, in a 15 minute, prepared speech, before Barry-Eaton Circuit Court Judge Richard Shuster, took issue with the pre­ sentence investigation into his background, saying it was written “to deceive the court and the judge." Boyd further claimed that he has been chased by organized crime figures for the past nine years, and was merely looking for a safe place to work when it is alleged he broke into the Thornapple Lake Road home. He argued that there was no intent to steal wl en he entered the home, and pleaded “Please, sir, do not send me to prison fora crime I did not commit." Boyd pointed out that he has been out of trouble for the past four years, adding “I can be of great benefit to a society that wants to accept me." He asked to be given a job fixing vehicles for the county. In sentencing Boyd, Judge Shuster noted that he had read Boyd’s 109-page autobiography, written by the defendant in the Barry County Jail, as well as four letters sent to him since June 22. Boyd was given credit for 247 days spent in prison, time that will be deducted from his prison sentence. In other court proceedings: Two men were sentenced to a year in jail, and two years probation each for the destruction of a window in a day room at the Barry County Jail. Sentenced were Michael Ray Smith, 18, 1077 Luce Rd., Battle Creek, and Brian Claude Snider. 18, 312 E. State Rd. Each received 65 days credit for lime already spent in jail. In sentencing Smith. Judge Shuster challenged the defendant to say something to convince the court that he should not go to prison for two years. Smith answered "I’m sorry for I did." Prior to sentencing Snider. Judge Shuster made note of the defendant's lengthy criminal past, over two legal pages long. "Unless you can control your anger, you will continue with the same kind of history,” said the judge. “You seem to have an attitude that everyone else is wrong, and you can strike out and use your fists. “I'm frustrated by the waste I see in your life." Snider has been serving time for a previous escape, and for resisting and ob­ structing a police officer. Smith had been serving a sentence in connection with a pair of July, 1983 break-ins in southern Barry County. Shuster ordered Snider to pay $280 restitution for damage to the jail window, and to perform 200 hours of community service in lieu of court costs and fines. Smith was ordered to pay $281 restitution, and to perform 300 hours of work. Monte Burroughs, 23, formerly of Delton, was sentenced to 40 to 60 months in prison for larceny over $100, the maximum time for the offense. He received credit for 408 days already spent in jail. Burroughs is accused of the May 5. 1983 theft of a chain saw from a Wall l^ake Road home. "I've been in prison before, and I had a long time to think about it. and I’ll respect other people's property now." said Burroughs, prior to being sentenced. "The defendant has had probation op­ portunities. half way homes, and jail time...none have been effective. It only makes sense to place you in prison for the maximum amount of time," said Judge Shuster. William Musser, Jr.. 29. 436 N. Burdick. Kalamazoo, pleaded guilty to a charge of probation violation. Sentencing for Musser is set for Aug. 3. Musser pleaded guilty in October, 1978 to attempted uttering and publishing, and has been serving probation since. His violation came as a result of "failure to pay court assessments as ordered" for the 1978 offense. T-K Board elects Courts as president The Thomapple-Kellogg Board of Education has elected Robert Courts as its president for the 1984-85 year. He succeeds Duane Thatcher in the post. Serving as board officers with Courts will be Gary Thaler as vice president; Stephen Elies, secretary; and Gary VanElst, treasurer. The board held its annual organizational meeting Monday. New fair office is moved in place Workers from Smith House Movers of Hastings put the new fair office in place, at the west end of the fair racetrack. The module office hod been used as a class­ room at Delton Kellogg Schools prior to pulling duty at the fair. The old fair office disappeared when wrecking crews razed the old grandstands last spring. (other business of the Council) Continued from page 1 Council voted not to sell the Elks Lodge tothe Elks organization, hearing that it is "not in the best interest of the city." Gordon Bennett, chairman of the city property committee, listed four reasons for his group's decision not to sell the property: that the original reason for the city to buy the Elks* property was to expand parking, that the city planning commission has in the past turned down the requests by the club to purchase the lodge, that property owners on Statestreet have recommended the property be used for parking, and that with the tearing up of the railroad, the Apple Street right-ofway reverts back to the city, and the Elk’s property could increase in value. Council referred a propose zoning change to the city attorney, that would extend an area zoned A-0 (apartments and offices) one-half block south in a residential zone The change affects about a dozenproperties, of which about eight already contain rental units. Councilmember Gordon Bennett opposed the change, saying "All you're doing is multiplying the problem on bothsides of theslreels...Il's an older area of town, and people are coming here for an investment reason. These houses that nor­ mally people are buying and fixing up are continuing to be used for rental units. When you mulitiply the units, you’re multiplying the number of people on the block, youflncrease the problems and property values go down. "I don't think expanding the area is the answer. I think you need to have the housing inspector a chance to take control...It's my area, and I’m concerned about what’s going on," said Bennett. Council will now set its own public hearing on the matter. The hearing date wil] be announced at the July 23 council meeting. PUBLIC OPINION: What’s your favorite summer getaway?

Use of JefferSon’s quote questioned To the Editor: Being not only an admirer of Thomas Jefferson, but also a student of his philosophy and politics, I am compelled to comment on the oul-of-context quote you attributed to Jefferson in your qjost recent "justification" editorial. The essence of Jefferson’s comment “wasn't" a preference between government without newspapers or newspapers without government. You didn’t quote his entire statement, giving a jaundiced meaning to Jefferson's words. Jefferson's main concern was the preservation of the peoples' right to an opinion. His entire quote originated on January 16,1787, in the form of a letter from Jefferson to Col. Edw. Carrington, during a difficult period in young America's history. Jefferson's complete statement is, "The basis of our government being the opinion of the people, the very first object should be to keep that right; were it left to me to decide whether we should have a government without newspapers or newspapers without government, I should not hesitate a moment to prefer the latter." Il's interesting, however, that Jefferson's contemporary. James Madison, said. "If men were angels, no government would be necessary." And then there's the colorful former mayor of Chicago. Richard J. Daley, who once said. “A newspaper is the lowest thing there is." It's quite obvious why newspapers like to quote Jefferson, since he was such a strong proponent of freedom of the press. Given the distrust the media has earned on all levels of performance. I would suspect that even Jefferson might be suspicious of the media whose editorial policy is to have the last word in every dispute. Respectfully. Mary Lou Gray Diane Howell Evelyn Barnum Barbara Benner Milli Haug The Question:__________________________________________ Michigan offers visitors and natives alike a wide variety of summer activities. For many Barry residents, relief from the heat is only a short drive away, and most of us can lay claim to a favorite getaway spot somewhere in western Michigan. Where is your favorite place to go in the summer? What do you like to do? Richard laughrin. Hastings: “1 won't tell you my favorite spot, because that's a secret. But among my other favorite places is Charlton Park, right along the banks of the Thornapple River. It really feels peaceful to go there, and sit in the grass and watch the river go by." Laughrin also likes to drive on Barry County roads, particularly Yankee Springs Road fromChief Nocnday south, and Wildwood Road south of Gun Lake. Julie Sprague. Hastings: "I like Holland. It's a nice clean town, easy to get to. close to the big lake, and I love the state park." Sherrie Holtz. Hastings: “I like to go to the swimming hole on Head Dike There's a rope swing there, and it's only 20 minutes from Hastings. It's real quiet " Wanda Barnum. luike Odessa: "Deer Park is a place I like to go...because it’s cheap, there are a lot of nice rides and fun things to do." Watching softball games, camping and fishing are activities that rate high on her list of summer activities." Diane Howell, Hastings: “I like Gun Lake. 1 had a riot swimming there in the rocks. I also like to horesback ride in Barry County with my dad." Evelyn Barnum. Lake Odessa: “1 like to take the kids to Deer Park, near Muskegon." She said another favorite getaway is Grand Traverse Bay in the Traverse City area. Picnicking, fishing, and camping are her favorite summertime activities. Swimming at Jordon Lake, located only about a block away from home is another enjoyable way she spends time during the summer months. Barbara Benner. Hastings: "I like Charlton Park and Gun Lake. I also like to go Io Rockford and Grand Ledge because of what the citizens have done with their towns to make them so unique." Going to arts and crafts fairs, going to the beach and sun­ bathing are Barb's favorite summer pastimes. “I like the summer because you can be outside." she said. Milli Haug, lj»kc Odessa: “Traverse City! I love it. I've been going up there for years." She said she likes that area because of its •northern' beauty, restaurants, and other interesting sights and places.

Hastings City Council approved installing water and sewer lines to two homes on N. Ferris Street Monday night, but denied blacktop, curb and gutter. The votes came on a request by the homeowners, John Cohoon and Joe Bleam, whose partially built homes oc­ cupy two lots at the north end of Ferris St., north of Lin­ coln Street Council turned down the same petitions four weeks ago at the urging of a third homeowner whose corner lot would be assessed for improvements already made and paid for. By a four to two vote, council refused to confirm the assessment roll for blacktop, and by a similar vote they turned down curb and gutter improvements. Fourth ward Councilwoman Esther Walton, one of those who voted no, said she didnt think it was right that the third homeowner, Don Myers, should have to pay twice for the same improvement. Myers owns a comer lot on E. Lincoln. However, council did vote unanimously to confirm the assessment roll for a water main, and by a five to one margin for a sewer line. That lone no vote came from Tune in at home, listen in your car, take your transistor radio along when you go to work.

Jury finds burglar guilty A Barry County jury deliberated 50 minutes Monday and found Tyrone Trout, 19. guilty of the Jan. 7 break-in of Wabascon'Rd. home. The jury returned to court Wednesday and found Trout guilty of a supplemental charge of being a two-time felony offender, after deliberating only 10 minutes. Trout pleaded guilty in 1983 to a charge of larceny in a building. Sentencing for Trout is scheduled for July 27. He faces up to 15 years in prison on the breaking and entering charge. However, since he was found guilty of being a second time offender, the sentenced is increased by half, to 22'i years. Al Vanderlaan, Barry County assistant prosecutor, said Trout and three other men broke into and ransacked the home of Elaine Holden on the same day she attended her husband's funeral. Vanderlaan said that one of the burglars, Steven Cody, "was leafing through the obits, looking foi a house he knew would be vacated that day." Both Cody and a third burglar, Joseph Joiner, both of Battle Creek, testified against Trout at the trial. "This burglary was planned. It was not kids out on a lark, breaking in on a spur uf the moment. These guys were looking for a house to B&E," said Vanderlaan. "They hit someone who just buried her husband that day. I can't imagine what she felt like.” FAST Repair Service • Engraving ” a Watch Repair HODGES JEWELRY Your Full Service Repair Center 122 W State St. Hastings Ph 945 2963 Put a new shine to your car and preserve its good looks!

Shirley Drake Summer wouldn't be summer for Shirley Drake without the Barry County Fair. Shirley's been a familiar face at the fair and in 4-H activities for about 25-years. She still remains active in both of those activities even though her children are grown. She has participated in 4*H on local, county, state and national levels. When Shirley attended the 40th reunion of her graduating clast last month, her former Nashville High School classmates selected her as the one who had changed the least. Although Shirley (whose maiden name is Brown) didn't live in Detroit, she was bom there where an aunt lived. She spent her first 11-year8 in Roscommon and then her family moved to "the coimtry" in the Nashville area. After high school, Shirley worked at the Eaton County Abstract Office and then as a bookkeeper at the farmer Lentz Table Co. in Nashville until she married Don Drake. At • that time, the firm employeed about 150persons. She and Don have a son, Tom, who lives in Lake Odessa with las wife Pat and two children; and a daughter, Deb, of Hastings. Nineteen years ago, Shirley started doing part-time secretarial work for Production Credit Association and is now a full-time office assistant there. Shirley has a special fondness for horses and that’s evident in her 4-H work as well as her personal interests. •'I've farmed with horses and had riding horses. I drove draft horses, cultivating corn and putting ig> hay, when I was in high school. I still have horses. Deb and I raise quarterhorses and she shows them." As children, she and her husband exhibited projects at the fair. Her interest in 4-H was rejuvenated when her children joined the organization ; ; ; ; ; ! ; ; J ! ; ; ' ! : ' ! ' Annual... Over the years, she has served as a horse leader of the Dowling Dudes 4-H Club and on the state horse developmental committee and also has taught a variety of other sub­ jects such as sewing, outdoor cooking, and general livestock. She has been chairman of 4-H horse judging at the fair for several years; serves on the county 4-H council and coordinates county 4-H clubs; and is involved with leader training on the state level in conjunction with the horse developmental committee. One of Shirley's proudest moments in 4-H was when she received the 1978 State Horse Leader of the Year award. Another highlight was three years ago when she was awarded an all-expense paid trip to the National 4-H Center in Washington D.C. Shirley also has attended national horse developmental committee meetings in Kansas and Missouri. She has served as treasurer of the local fair board for six years. "4-H is the reason I enjoy being on the fair board," Shirley said. Of her longtime association with the fair itself, she says, "I was watching horse pulls before they had tractor pulls...I remember when we showed dairy under a tent..but the fair is still a fair even though there have been changes." Shirley finds time to pursue many other interests. She's been an avid bowler for more than 30-years. In the past she has served as bowling secretary on three different leagues in Battle Creek, Hastings and Lake Odessa. She's been {resident of the Hastings Women's Bowling Association and a delegate to slate and national meetings. She likes to bowl in tournaments and at a recent one in the Niagra Falls area she won $37 and donated it to the fair’s grandstand fund. Shirley Drake, active for many years in 4-H and the Barry County Fair, often makes a batch of her favorite refrigerator rolls for special holidays or when company is coming. Bowling and golf trophies are on display in Shirley's home. A member of two golf leagues, she and June Richardson recently Barry Coun HASTINGS Kidsoay r GIANT f $24,400” PU1ES 10 A.M. toS P.M.

I like it for the relaxation. the socialization and the friends you make," said Shirley. She was the charter president of the Lioness Club of Bedford and still is active in that organization. She served as the president of the Bedford Lions auxiliary dub before it became an official Lioness chapter. A member of the Dowling extension club, she has enjoyed learning about many sub­ ject; with the group induding homemaking skills and tailoring. She is a member of Our Lady of Great Oak Catholic Church in Lacey and has been a facilitator for the church’s Renew program and is also the parish's representative to Love, Inc. which is a network of churches offering a clearing house for human needs and resources. She serves as secretary on the Lore, Inc. board. Sewing is another hobby she enjoys. She makes drapes and some of her own clothes. Gardening and yard work, especially when it comes to tending her roses, is a favorite pastime. Shirley also does basketweaving in a variety of interesting shapes, induding a heart-shaped one. Trail riding, cross county skiining and snowmobiling are other activities she enjoys. In the kitchen, Shirley has a favorite recipe for refrigerator rolls which she likes to make for Christmas and other special holidays or occasions. ‘‘They're easy and light and tasty," she says of the rolls.

Old kitchen utensils made of wood are disappearing fast and for that reason are now priced considerably high on the antique primitive market. The first wooden utensils were crudely fashioned in a tedious process. The bowl was one of the first necessities, followed by the tray and rolling-pin. Generally a six-inch block of ashwood was used to develop the bow). Live coals were placed in the center and left to burn and char the wood. Each day more coals were added as the charred wood was scraped away. When the bowl was burned to the proper depth, pieces of broken glass were used to clean and smooth the depression. The finished bowl was frequently kept in the .'lour barrel to hold moisture so the flour wouldn't lump. The tray — usually oblong and frequently called a bread tray — held various foods. It also was used as “tub” for wet clothes, a container for soap cracklings, or for whatever the ingenuity of the owner devised. One of these old wooden pieces would bring from$45-$75 on today’s antique market. Wooden bottles and drinking cups, or "noggins", were introduced during our Colonial period. Originally made and used throughout England and Europe, the small tankard was produced in America by colonists who found a wealth of raw materials for their handicrafts. Eventually the wooden scoop, but­ termold, and soap dish were fashioned into novelties for the colonial housewife. No early kitchen was complete without a potato masher, a good egg beater, and a cream whipper. Used for centuries, mashers outdate the original egg beater. Mashers came in a great range of sizes. The largest (about two feet long) was used for mashing sauerkraut, while the smallest was used for grinding spices. Even if they are blackened with time or worn out of shape, old wooden stirring spoons have become items of value to collectors. Carved from a solid piece of wood by hand or later fashioned by machine, the spoon was an important part of the early kitchen. Akin to wooden stirring spoora’aft ’ other implements used in the old kit­ chen, and warrants collecting today. Ridged butter paddles, small peelers, marked cookie wheels, rolling pins and bread boards were made of pine, maple or other softer woods suitable for cutting and carving. Old pantry shelves use to hold many kinds of wooden articles. One was the mortar and pestle combination necessary for pounding herbs and other ingredients into powder. Some old mortars will be found with the outside painted for decoration, and the inside and the pounding pestle being left in the natural wood. Also kept in the pantry were round wooden boxes used for storage of cheese, butter or other foods. The thin wood was fashioned into a circle and riveted at the joining seam. The cover was made in the same way with the flat, grained boards cut as a base around which the wood was circled. Reproductions of these boxes are available in various sizes, but the wood lacks the rich, old patina which only time and use can give. Smaller boxes were made by hand with intricate, mitered joints at the comers. A sliding wooden cover was the usual closure. These boxes were usually made for the storage of trinkets, though some may have been constructed to hold saleable goods. A circular needle box, made from wood with a cap cover, is an article no longer fashioned. Very choice are the old wooden knife boxes that were kept conveniently on dining tables to hold assorted spoons, knives and forks. Today this type of box is very rare and scarce. Another old wooden item rarely seen is the egg cup, carved from a single piece of wood. Many old wooden bowls were carved by hand from tree burls. Burls are hard, woody growths especially suited to bowl making by their peculiar hemispherical shapes. Burls can occur on a variety of trees and are caused by some form of injury during the growth of the tree. Burls from maple, walnut, ash and even fruit trees were made into kitchen bowls. Some bowls were very large, measuring as much as 24 inches across. These large containers can be lovely decorating tools in our homes today. There were oval and rectangular chopping bowls as well. Both of these were very apt to have end handles. These attractive bowls of any shape are scarce and demand exorbitant prices. A bowl may be found with a deep crack halfway through the curved interior. No attempt should be made to eliminate the crack by clamping, for chances are it will not be successful. Nor is it feasible to fill the crack with wood filler, as the original appearance of the bowl would be marred. It is far better to accept the crack as one of the effects of time. Such a bowl is lovely and can be used to hold apples, nuts, pine cones, gourds or other dry em­ bellishments. Some collectors are sticklers for keeping the wooden article in exactly the same condition in which it was found. Others like to dean off the ravages of time by sanding the surface. When all else fails, a quick dip in a light solution of ammonia and water will release blackened dirt from old wood. Once the item has been cleaned, a light application of boiled linseed oil will preserve and protect the wood. The above mentioned ar tides are but a few of the beautiful old items made from wood a hundred or more years ago. Curious pieces worth collecting may turn up anywhere. A thin-blade knife carved from a single branch of wood, a child's toy rake or plough, a hand-turned dog. a small doll or a miniature bucket are other small wooden wares that might be en­ countered here or there. Save them, for they are the han­ dicraft of long ago artists and are worthy of a collector’s interest The pleasure of having a wooden collection comes from using the pieces in any living area or by displaying them purely as a collection from a time that will never be again. �Tho Hastings Banner— Thursday, July 12. 1984, Page 7 From Time toTimi.„ by...Esther Walton THE BARRY PIONEER Other newspapers in Hastings The first newspaper published in Barry County was the Barry County Pioneer, the first issue of which ap­ peared January 24, 1851, under the editorship of George A. Smith. In the fall, he sold the paper to Ashmun A. Knappen. In 1853, Mr. Smith established the Review. One year later, he purchased the Pioneer of Mr. Knappen and con­ solidated them. The new paper was called the Pioneer and associated with Smith was Henry A. Goodyear. The paper supported the Democratic party and the Pioneer continued its career 11 years. In the meantime, the Republican party was gaining in strength in the county, and the Republican Banner was established in April of 1856 by Dr. Chas. Burton, founder of the Battle Creek Journal, who had moved to Hastings. The paper was published under the name of C.S. Burton & Co. and it editorially denounced slavery and the Democratic party with the fiery and caustic phaseology of the day. Actually, there wasn’t an issue of either paper published which didn't take on the other’s point of view. During the Civil War, the Pioneer was bitter in its attacks on the Ad­ ministration. It supported McClellan for president in 1864. In the issue an­ nouncing the assassination of Lincoln, the Pioneer tcok fareweU of its readers before suspension. In 1867, W. Roscoe Young acquired the Pioneer’s printing plant and established The Independent In 1868, his plant burred and a fund was raised by subscription for re­ establishment of the paper. The name was changed to the Hastings Home Journal, then to The Journal. The Journal promoted the "Greenback” political party. Greenbacks were paper money issued during the Civil War and was an early form of treasury notes. BARRY PIONEER. job Woodland News □EO rraxTiNo. ■OrrOSTHON TO FANATICEN IN TTHATEVEB fobm WE FLVP IT.' VOL. 5. The dispute was between having gold backing the paper or treasury notes. This was a great national debate at the time. On Nov 5,1870, The Journal passed to the management of Dennis, Aikens & Co. John Dennis, a Civil War cavalryman, began a career of half a century as a publisher which ended with his death in the autumn of 1922. Dennis was a master of invective language and fought many verbose duels with Dewey, editor of The Ban­ ner. The rival of these two papers was the Barry County Democrat, started in 1880, and for two decades it espounded the Democratic party views. This paper later became the Hastings Herald. In Nov. 1911, the Herald and Journal were combined and published as a Democratic paper, called the Hastings Herald and Journal. Charles F. Fields, and later his son William Fields, were editors and publishers. In Feb., 1922, Cook Brothers purchased the Hastings Herald-Journal and consolidated the papers. After the Herald-Journal was con­ solidated with The Banner, the equipment was retained by the newlyformed Hastings Printing Company and was run by the Fields for several years. There were two small papers printed in Hastings in the late 18805 to about 1900, the "Plaindealer" and “Workers Watchtower". Francis Graves, an eccentric character, published the Plaindealer weekly, or whenever his limited finances would permit. The news items consisted of humorous comments on prominent, or lowly residents of the city. Happenings in the town were parodies. No one escaped the caustic pen of Graves, but he was so poor no one bothered to sue him for his outlandish comments. HASTINGS, MICH, WEDNESDAY, JAN. 30, 1856.

Ml 49316 MILLER Repair Service New books now available at library Dorothy Corkville Briggs has written a helpful book for parents: "Your Child’s SelfEsteem". It consists of step-by-step guidelines for raising responsible, produc­ tive, and happy children. The seven chapters are the phenomenon of the mirrors, the dimate of love, the journey of self, negative feelings and self-esteem, discipline and selfesteem, mental growth and self-esteem, and sex and self-esteem. In “The Abolition", Jonathan Schell makes a proposal about nuclear weapons that may well point the way out of what has so far looked like a tunnel to nothingness. This proposal transcends current political categories. It will appeal to those whose first concern is for security and to those whose first concern is for peace. It is a seemingly impossible book: a clear-eyed and rational look at our current situation, which amazingly manages to offer us hope. From the chaotic aftermath of the Civil War to the threshold of the New Deal, "...And Ladies of the Club" by Helen Hooven Santmyer tells the warm, intimate yet epic tale of the lifetimes of two women in a small Ohio town and the other members of Ihe Waynesboro Ladies' Literary Society. Rbseilen Brown, in "Civil Wars”, has written a large, passionate novel about a couple. Jessie and Teddy Carll, once heroically involved in the Civil Rights Movement and how staying on in the Deep South, a couple who suddenly, just as their marriage is in crisis, are forced by a family disaster to take into their home a boy and girl brought up by emphatically segregationist parents.

Page 9 Designed to help prevent injuries Athletic Boosters purchase tapes In an effort to better inform Saxon coaches, the Hastings Athletic Boosters have purchased five Continuing Responsibility of Instructors for Student Injuries (CRISIS) videocassettes for the school's athletic department. The five-part CRISIS program, which features cassettes on injuries, physical fitness, conditioning, and drug usage, is designed to educate and inform coaches as well as physical education end health teachers, administrators and students. Hastings Athletic Director Bill Karpinski said the series was previewed by members of the booster club before it was purchased for $350. Karpinski said the videocassettes will be a great asset to the school. "Oh, definitely," he said. "With as many lay-coaches (coaches without conditioning, training, etc. background) as we get I think these films will really help them in their coaching. “The films upgrade an athletic program by informing the coaches of their respon­ sibilities. It's a terrific coaching aid." The five-part series includes these films: Student Injuries — An in-depth assessment of the liabilities and responsibilities of those siqjervising athletics. Drugs, diet and determination — Will help the athletic supervisor recognize and handle drug use, devise nutritional guidelines and incorporate those guidelines into his or her curriculum. Sports Conditioning and prevention of injuries — Msasixes to prevent injuries and sound conditioning programs are explored. Injury management — The management of frequently occuring injuries, the danger signals, and what to do about them are presented. Implementing safety and emergency procedures — This session presents the essentials of an emergency care plan and how to design a health supervision plan. Each film lasts one half hour and such nationally known sports medicine experts as Dr. Kenneth Clarke, director of the U.S. Olympic sports medicine committee; Dr. Donald Cooper, member of the President's physical fitness committee; and Joe Patemo, head football coach of Penn State will be featured. Karpinski said he plans to show the films to the Hastings coaching staff as well as health and physical education teachers in August. In addition, the films will be available for community showings at a later dale. Included with the films are in-depth course manuals which provide a wealth of carry­ home information and a leader’s guide which accompanies the videotapes to make up a thorough in-service course.

And now, the whole state will have its chance in assisting Strickland with solving his 39-year old dilemma. In March, Strickland penned a short story entitled "Not in a Hundred Years" which was snapped up by Michigan Sportsman for its July-August issue. The deer hunting story related an age-old hunting trip by Strickland and two of his cohorts. It's not like Strickland deemed himself another Hemmingway, but because the magazine was seeking interesting deer hunting stories, Strickland thought it was worth entering. His only previous writing experience appeared in the "Letters to the Editor" column of certain local newspapers. “I thought maybe they'd use it,” says Strickland of Michigan Sportsman Field Editor Chuck Lichon. "It’s a little different deer hunting story." Different indeed. In the article Strickland explained how four people could fire 16 shots at a mamouth buck, who somehow walked away unscathed. And when the foursome tried to track the buck, the prints just seemed to vanish into thin air. "It still baffles me," admits Strickland. “There were the tracks and then they disappeared." Coiild it be the hunters were not as adept as they wished to believe? "Those guys could shoot through a knothole and hit him," said Strickland of his fellow hunters. Strickland's story as it appeared in Michigan Sportsman: Wendell Strickland recently wrote a deer hunting story for the July-August issue of Michigan Sportsman. “Not in a Hundred Years” Arriving well before daylight, we positioned ourselves at the three spots. When day broke, Richard and Frank were surprised to find themselves on adjoining hills. They also noted a father and son on a knoll across the run from them. Within 15 minutes of shooting time, there appeared on the trail, coming from a northwesterly direction, a huge, quite gray, light colored buck. He had, we all later agreed, to be at least a 'typical' 16 point rocking chair rack. We later agreed that "old buster" to be a close to 300 pounds in weight and size. What took place then we have never been able to explain to oursevles. Like the experienced hunters they were, Frank and Richard look careful aim, fired, and were soon joined by the father and son with their Remington 35's. In all, the four fired 16 times at this monster, who only continued to come down the trail, and he was passing only at a fast walk, looking neither right nor left, and not alarmed at all. During the night, a light snow fell, about four inches, which made tracking easy. After a brief discussion with the father and son, we were amazed to find that they had not made a clean kill. All four had open, clear shots, at 20 to 30 yards distance, but what was even more amazing they found no trace of blood, nor could they recall seeing the animal show sign of any injury. Let me tell you a story. A strange story, one which you may not believe, but, well, I’ll start at the beginning. One fall, three of us country boys made our annual deer hunting trip — annual except when interrupted by WWII. It was in the fall of 1945, and what happened took place on the 17th of November in an area that today is a part of the Green Timbers Lodge, east of Vanderbilt, Mich. Now, I'm not the greatest hunter in the world, but my companions, Richard Wayne and Frank Hilton, were as capable as any hunter of your acquaintance, past, present or future. They both were equipped with a good rifle of that day, a 250-3000 Savage, and both were capable of shooting an off­ hand, rapid fire group of 3 in a 3 inch bull at 100 yards. We were all ex­ perienced hunters and filled our tags later. We had hunted the area three other years and were familiar with the topography and cover, which was quite open, with small clumps of spruce scattered about and popular on the knolls. The night of the 16th we all made our plan for the next morning. We each had located a run which appeared to be really "hot". Unknown io each other, it turned out to be the same run, but we had each chosen a different spot.

Facility.0-7 z' A BIG catch Eight year old Becky Bower (above) of Hastings caught this five-pound. 22-inch bass at a small, nameless pond on Pritchardville Rood. The catch must be a bit of a fluke, says Becky, because she rarely goes fishing. Ivo Alles of Algonquin Lake (at right) caught these two 61/* and 7’«-pound salmon on Lake Michigan while on a fishing trip with his wife. Virginia, and friends. Dee and Duane Rock of Battle Creek. In all. five fish were caught on the trip. (Banner photo*) I was located some 300 yards down track, and hearing so much shooting decided that one was not going to pass me. However what seemed like several minutes later, outwalked, yes, walked, the biggest buck I ever hope to see. My blind was about 30 yards off trail, and it took a second look for me to ascertain that it was not an elk, which were then protected, but really a large whitetail. I then hurried to the spot where I last saw him, his track led to the edge of a five acre muskeg, and went no further; because of the new snow, it was easy to see any sign, if there had been any to see. By then my companions arrived. We studied the area, the entire muskeg was open, entirely -visible al that bme with only small clumps of spruce growing , there were absolutely no more tracks, no other sign of that monster. We then spread out five or six feet apart, and slowly circled the area of his trail — and found — nothing. We then com­ pletely covered the muskeg and the edge of it and found — nothing. We, to this day are baffled by his disappearance, by the complete inability of four good marksmen and myself to score a hit on so large an animal, and the abrupt ending uf his tracks. The only explanation we have is, that he was, a ghost. �The Hastings Banner— Thursday, July 12. 1984. Page 10 HASTINGS COUNTRY CLUB Men’s Monday Night Golf League — BLUE DIVISIONJ. Ketchum, 40-4. J.

General Outdoor Conditions: Weather continues warm and dry - Precipitation for the month of June was only .56". The drought index for C:;s area is still climbing and fire division warns people to be extra carefull with fire as they can lead to ground fires which are very difficult and expensive to pul out. Fishing: Great Lakes fishing has been good in close around 40 ft. The north east wind has pushed warm water out and fish have moved into the cooler water. St. Joseph has reported good success (or big fish from the shore to 50' in the mudline. They are fishing on the bottom with J-plugs and chartreuse spoons. Perch hitting off rocky gap - a few taking perch off the piers. Saugatuck - Great perch fishing! Medium to jumbo sized perch being taken from 5 to 25 feet using soft shelled crabs, pieces of night crawlers and of course minnow and wigglers.

Michigan, Hastings 945-2159 OPEN at 8:30 a.m. Monday thru Friday hobos and south port slammers. Tad Pollys and hot-ntots have been good on top lines. Inland Lakes - Bass and bluegill success is still good. Bass are in fairly deeper waters near dropoffs in about 5 to 15 feet. Bluegills are good in deep water using crickets as well as on the surface with poppers. Wildlife: Crow season is now open statewide all year. This was approved by the Commission June 8, 1984. Goose brood surveys are underway once again. Wildlife biologists are interested in sightings of broods especially the south western counties (Cass, St. Joseph, Berrien, and Van Buren). We need the location, number of adults and number of young for each sighting. Contact Crane Pond 244-5928, Allegan 673-2430, Barry 795-3280 or this office 685-685! with the information. Other Outdoor Information: Weed Control Problems in ponds - A private pond with no inlet or outlet does not need a permit for weed control. Other than the above, a permit is required for any treatment within 500 feet of a lake, stream or outlet to a lake or stream. After July 12th permits will no longer be issued as it is too late for treatment then. Also there is not a chemical that is effective on all weed types. J.J. Dill Com­ P pany off Ravine Rd., in Kalamazoo will give information on which is best They can be contacted at 349-7755. Road Oiling - Road Oiling is not allowed unless it has been tested to be non-hazardous and contains no PCB's and is transported by a licensed 136 road oiler. If road oiling is being done, they have probably been hired by whoever maintains the road (township, county, etc.). SpOftS... at a glance by Steve Vedder One man’s opinion Why doesn't the local branch of the American. Cancer Society run the Walter Hagen and Babe Zaharias tournaments at the same course? It would help the turnout for the Babe Zaharias, which was disapointing this year. Speaking of golf tournaments, pry open the wallet and spend $15 on the three-man scramble sponsored by the Hastings basketball team on July 21. It supports the team's summer program. Only 32 days before the first day of high school football practice...Where’s the summer going? My old boss, Dick Milliman, used to call these columns “the lazy man's columns.” Silly Dick. Best summer drink: lemonade on ice. Hold the vodka please. Let's set the record straight: I have nothing but the highest regard for the Hastings athletic department. They care very much for the kids they coach. Idle thought No. 1 — Why don't they call a female second baseman “second basewoman” or “second baseperson." Doesn't that rile the feminists? The interest in stowpitch softball is still dwindling. I don't think the reason is so much players switching to fast­ pitch as it is increased slowpitch costs and the fact many young players have second shift factory jobs. Don’t fret, the Tigers are going to win the A.L. East Forget all this idle Toronto talk or the second caning of Baltimore; the Tigers aren't going to blow a seven game lead at the all-star break. Speaking of the Tigers, my offer last month to buy lunch for those people still holding a certain column in October is genuine. But remember, if the Tigers do win I expect those same people to be buying me lunch. Whatever happened to Morgan Fairchild? Biggest upset I’ve seen in quite a while: The Stan Musial All-Stars edging the United States Olympic baseball team in Battle Creek. 6-5. Who needs the Russians anyhow? Still missing from my summer "todo" list: a Saturday at Gun Lake, a week at Torch Lake, skiing, a sun tan, and a picnic. I don't even want to think of the fall sports season opening yet. How about someone starting a fall softball league in Hastings? Wonder if I can talk my bosses into sending me to the World Series? Probably as much a chance of that as Michael Jackson has of finding his other glove. Best summer food: steak on the grill done medium well with a blast of catsup. Now that I’ve seen Wrigley Field, I want to see Candlestick Park in San Francisco. Mike Downey is the best sportswriter in Michigan. You think it’s easy being that creative week after week? Tpy it. “The Natural" is worth seeing again. Add to that summer “todo" list: getting up at 6 a.m. (once), renting a boat, rowing onto the prettiest lake in the county, and fishing for three hours. Don't forget the ham and cheese sand­ wiches and Pepsi. COUNTY OF BARRY NOTICE OF PUBLIC HEARING ON INCREASING PROPERTY TAXES The Board of Commissioners of the County of Barry will hold a public hearing at 10:00 a.m. on Tuesday, July 24, 1984, in the Board Room, 2nd Floor, Courthouse Annex, 117 South Broadway, to receive testimony and ...that’s the services discuss a proposed additional 1984 County Operating Millage Rate. we offer!

However, the County Board of Commissioners has complete authority to establish the number of mills to be levied within its allocated millage rate. In order to maintain basic County Services, the county proposes to levy an additional millage rate of .1426 mills (14.3 cents per $1000 SEV) above the 5.7274 mill base rate, or a total operating rate of 5.87 mills ($5.87 per $1000 SEV). This will provide an estimated WEST STATE AT BROADWAY 2.49% increase in county operating revenues. Public comment is welcome at this hearing.

"You're putting a constraint on it if it’s (only available) in the office." Baxter added that people are not likely to request the list. "I just have a feeling against it," Wibalda said. New Board President Diane Hoekstra asked that the board members and the audience try tehe new format for a few montiis and then make comments. In a later interview Hoekstra said that the board's finance committee has been working on a change in format since January. "We feel (the financial reports) are loo long and not easy to find information in," she said. "Our goal was to make it less bulky and easier to read and extract information from." She said that all of the information that was available before will still be available, but consolidated. Hoekstra also pointed out that the new format will contain additional information, such as an investment report and figures showing how much was budgeted, how much was spent and whether or not any losses were incurred. She said that the itemized check list is always available. "We are talking about whether or not you type (the check list) up." she said. Superintendent Carl A. Schoessel said that it was unfortunate that the issue came up at Monday night's meeting because it was not a good example of the reports to come. He said that a full financial statement has not been handed out traditionally at the July meeting because of the required school audit. Schoessel said that the new report will be more comprehensive than the old one In the area of personnel, Schoessel with­ drew a recommendation to increase the hourly rate of pay by 25 cents for the three secretaries in the administration office. Currently they receive $7.50 per hour while other building secretaries are being paid $7.75 per hour. Schoessel said that the secretaries in lhe administration office are not part of the collective bargaining unit and are handled separately. The matter was turned over to the personnel committee for review at the request of Baxter, who chairs that committee. Baxter had objected to having the recommendation made before the com­ mittee had a chance to review the dollar figures. New officers taking positions at the meeting were Diane Hoekstra, president; James Toburen. vice-president; Richard Shaw, secretary; and Larry Haywood, treasurer. As the new president, Hoekstra said that she sees the board continuing on a carefully charted path set by the board, superin­ tendent and the staff to coordinate programs in both educational and operational areas for lhe coming year. "We set several goals last year that can't be achieved in one or two years such as curriculum coordination and enhancement, textbook and material replacement, and building and equipment improvements," she SERVICE DIRECTORY TREE SERVICE Tree Service • Trimming • Topping • Tree Removal • Clean-up LOW RATES —INSURED RENTALS 94M473 w M54474 ■eny other Item. 141 E.

Hoekstra said that in particular she would like to see tougher graduation requirements than the ones the stale may require, such as one more year of math and one year of a foreign language or an additional year of English. She would also like to see en­ couragement of students to continue their education beyond high school. “Our goal should be tostrive for excellence in our educational system but always to be mindful of the fact that the district must maintain its financial integrity to have long term improvements and not just quick fixes that appear to remedy problems or appease certain groups of people," Hoekstra said. The board approved the following com­ mittee appointments for the 1984-85 school year (chairman listed first): Executive committee — Hoekstra, James Toburen. Haywood or Shaw; Curriculum — Ann Ainslie, Baxter, Toburen; Personnel — Baxter.

The proposal will appear on the Aug. 7 primary ballot The board accepted $2,522 in gift money from parents and the athletic boosters for the purchase of high school cheerleading uniforms, girls basketball uniforms and wrestling equipment. Transfers and reassignments approved include Beverly Baron to third grade, Southeastern; David Furrow, second grade, Northeastern; Claretta Phillips, special reading teacher, elementary; Kathy Oliver, recalled from layoff status to teach two hours of social studies at the high school. Scott re-elected president of Delton School Board Vern Scott of Osborne Rd. has been re­ elected president of the Delton-Kellogg Board of Education. Other officers elected to serve with Scott at the board's annual organizational meeting Monday were Donald Aukerman, vice president; Sally Mills, secretary; and Patricia Fales, treasurer.

Prairieville Police Chief Scott Veen said be saw the moter, a 70 h.p. Mercury, valued at $3,300, sitting in the back of a pickup truck at a township park off Doster Rd. Veen questioned the owner of the truck when he noticed the lines leading from the engine had been cut. "The hoses, cables, gas Lines had been cut. It was real obvious it had been stolen. The owner of the truck told us a story that didn’t make much sense, so we confiscated the motor until he could convince us it was his," said Veen. The next day, Michigan State Police at the Wayland team received a report of a boat motor of the same description being stolen from Madison's Marina on Marsh Road. Veen sa:d his department is seeking an arrest warrant for the suspect, whom he described as a student at the State Technical Institute on Pine Lake Road, and a resident of northern Michigan.

Weller. Weller charged that he is being ignored by the prosecutor and said that she is “not fulfilling her obligation to the voters as a candidate in a contested election." Weller sain that he wanted to discuss “more evenhanded application and enforcement of the tough nuw drinking and driving laws and means to reduce instances of violation rather than just obtain a higher conviction percentage." The challenger also charged that Hughes considers herself to be the attorney for local police agencies. “I believe the voters deserve a chance to hear both sides of any issue, despite efforts of some local political leaders to pretend I don't exist," Weller said. In responding to Weller's challenge, Hughes said that her views on many issues are already a matter of public knowledge. She said that she has spoken in front of many groups on subjects such as the youth and alcohol task force, juvenile neglect and child abuse conflicts, welfare fraud, abortion laws and spouse assault. "An informed voter will seek to determine who is the best candidate for prosecuting attorney of Barry County,” Hughes said. Hughes said that while declining Weller's challenge to debate, if any bonafide Republican group feels a need, for a forum in which the candidates outline their qualifications and express their views, she will remain open to that invitation. Volume 129, No. 29—Hostings, Michigan 49058 Tech student demands exam A State Technical Institute student demanded exam in Barry County District Court Monday for a charge of larceny over 1100. Daniel Faulman, 29 Willows St., Battle Creek, was released on $2,500 personal recognizance bond. Prairieville police said they found a stolen outboard engine in the back of Faulman's pickup truck on June 27. The engine was reportedly stolen the day before. Exam for Faulman is set for July 23 at 10 a.m. Prairieville Pobce Chief Scott Veen said he saw the moter, a 70 h.p. Mer­ cury, valued at $3,300. sitting in the back of a pickup truck at a township park off Doster Rd. Veen said he questioned Faulman who was sitting at the wheel, when he noticed that the motor's hoses, cables and gas lines had been cut. Police have lead in store burglary Middleville pobce say they have some leads in the Monday morning break-in of Pharmacy Care in the SavMor shopping plaza, located on N. Middleville Road. Sergeant Boyd Cain of the Middleville police said the culprits gained entry to the grocery store through a side en­ trance, and stele 20 cartons of Winston cigarettes before entering the phar­ macy through a window. Cain said drugs were stolen from the pharmacy, but the types of drugs, or the amount will not be known until an inventory can be carried out. Cain said his deparment has received "some leads" regarding the burglary, and that he expects some in­ terrogations to follow soon. Price 25* Prairieville landfill trial begins Monday by Ken Relbel Eighteen months after the successful closing of a Prairieville landfill suspected of polluting groundwater, the non-jury trial of Kelley v. KAV-Co. is set to begin Monday, starting at 9 a.m. The Michigan Department of Natural Resources, supported by State Attorney General Frank Kelley, is seeking to have the Kalamazoo-based landfill consortium install a 65-acre impermeable clay cover over the site, located off Doster Road in the southwest corner of Barry County, and supply clean drinking water to nearby residents. In ad­ dition, the DNR is also seeking to force KAVCo. to install special pumps to purge the underlying waters of dangerous chemicals. The attorney general maintains that 16 Absentee ballot rules changed Individuals filing absentee ballots will no longer be able to fill them out la groups, according to a IpW just pawed by the Michigan State legislature. Norval Thaler, Barry County clerk, said it is no longer legal for groups of individuals to fill out their ballots at the same time He gave as an example residents of a rest home. “I know it’s happened in the past, where a group of residents in a nursing home have been sat down and fold how to fill out absentee ballot forms," said Thaler. "I’m not saying they were told how to vote, only how to fill out the form." Thaler said families are exempt from the policy change, which is now in ef­ fect. Thaler added that he thinks the rule will be hard to enforce. rjpaiflinM for filing a completed absentee ballot for the Aug. 7 primary is Aug. 4 at 2 p.m., the Saturday before the primary. However, individuals may vole in person at the clerk's office up to 4 p.m. Aug. 5. Thursday, July 19, 1984 different chemicals and elements — in­ cluding benzene, a known cancer-causing agent — have entered underlying soils in groundwaters and nearby water wells. Lawyers for the state maintain KAV-Co. has been negligent in its maintenance of the landfill, and that the soils under the site are unsuitable for dumping. The trial is scheduled to begin at 9 a.m., and run to 5 p.m., Monday through Wed­ nesday, although it is almost sure the matter will take longer to resolve. A show-cause hearing, held in January, 1963, in which Barry-Eaton Circuit Court Judge Hudson E. Deming ordered the landfill closed, involved three-and-a-half of testimony for both sides. Representing the DNR will be Assistant Attorney General Tom Emery. Representing KAV-Co. are Kalamazoo Attorney Lloyd Yenner, and Grand Rapids Attorney Richard Quist. The matter had been scheduled to be tried in November, 1983, but was postponed eight months, to the July 23 date, after a key KAVCo. expert witness died. That long delay drew a tersely-worded, official protest from the Barry County Board of Commissioners, which feared that a long delay would in­ crease the risk of dangerous chemicals leaching further into the underlying groundwaters. If either side had been unprepared for next week’s court showdown, the next available date would have been April, 1985. Airport expansion delayed Above, Hank Brooks (left) is shown with the Computer Portraits trailer he owns and Is operating this week at the Barry County Fairgrounds. With him are Tonja Frank and Randy Stabough, both of Sunfield, who are working the concession this summer and fall. Below, Tonja is shown in the trailer with her image on both the monitor in the background and on a. acently completed computer printout. Locally owned ‘mug joint’ offers computer-produced portraits by Steve Horton In carnival lingo it’s called a "mug joint”, a place where fairgoers pay to have a quick picture taken or a sketch made. In bygone days it would have often been with your face transposed above the cardboard cutout of a curvaceous or muscular body or dressed up in an unusual costume. Those type of operations are still around, but— like many other aspects of our society— the computer age has caused some changes. When you're talking about "mug joints" nowadays, you’re often referring to the place that sells computer portraits. Hank Brooks and family of Hastings own and operate one such modern "joint", a concession which is currently at the Barry County Fair, underneath the east end of the grandstand. The system, said Brooks, consists of a closed circuit camera, two monitors, a computer and a printer. "It’s the same system that was used to relay the images of the astronausts back to earth when they were on the moon,” he said. Brooks, who has had his computer portrait trailer for over three years, said the con­ cession is no longer a unique one at fairs, but is still a limited one. "The cost (of the system) limits the number of people getting into it," he explained, "although some day they’ll probably be as many of them at the fair as there are popcorn stands." The portraits— which have the appearance of an pencil etching or a grainy black-andwhite— are obtained by having the customer sit in the back of the booth while one of Brooks' employees focuses the camera on them and works the computer to get the correct contrast of light and dark. The operator, who is looking at one monitor, then locks onto a particular image. The customer, who is also looking at a monitor, then chooses an image they like. The picture that’s chosen is then tran­ sferred by the computer into the printer which produces a printout in about 55 seconds. “The average portrait consists of 750,000 ink dots." Brooks noted. The process can also be done with a photograph that a person might bring along. The customer can purchase just the printout, but usually has the image tran­ sferred onto one of serveral media available at the booth. They include cloth posters (with either humorous or romantic sayings), cloth calenders, t-shirts, baseball jerseys, cards, jigsaw puzzles, or tote bags. In addition the customer can have his or her name put underneath the portrait, along with some saying they might prefer. Prices range from $2 for the printout to $9 for the jersey. “Our most popular item is the poster," he said. Brooks said that vanity is the computer portrait operator's best salesman. “The two most important things with a person are, one, your appearance and, two, your name," he noted. "It's human nature to look at the mirror when we walk by and most of us like to see out name in print. For instance, when this article appears, the first thing I’m going to do is look through the paper until I see my name. With this concession we can print your picture and then we can print your name on a t-shirt or poster with whatever saying you want included." Hank, who along with sons Mike and Doug, operate Action Signs in Hastings, said they got into the fair concession business through the sign business. "About six or seven years ago we started putting signs up for the local fairs and from there we started fixing up carnival trailers, putting on the flashing lights and marqeelype signs," he said. "About four years ago we were fixing up this food trailer and the guy backed out. We decided to keep it and fix it up as a computer portrait concession." Brooks said son Doug ran it the first year and son Mike was in charge last year. This year he has Tonja Frank and Randy Stabaugh, both of Sunfield, working in it. Brooks role consists of negotiating the spot and priveledge (lol rent) with the fair and also moving the trailer from fair to fair. This year he will be taking the concession to 14 fairs, having started earlier this summer in Indiana and the recent Cherry Festival in Traverse City and finishing this fall in Hillsdale. He also plans to operate it again this Christmas season at the Woodland Mall in Grand Rapids. Brooks plans to expand his involvement in area fairs. He has already purchased a second system and will be building a trailer to house it. In addition, he is planning on having a either a game or drink trailer and a "gold-by-inch” trailer. The latter, he said, will allow the customer to choose a style of jewlery, such as a necklace, and have it fashioned with gold. A last-minute change of mind by Federal Aeronautics Administration officials over funding of part of the City-County Airport expansion has delayed construction from August to next spring, said Charles Murphy, airport manager. At issue are approximately $50,000 for an entrance way from W. State Road to a new hangar area on the west end of the airport, and the relocating of runway lights. Murphy said the entrance way runs over land owned by Dick Deming, who is giving the airport right of way across it. Original plans called for allowing Deming access on the road. However, according to Murphy, the FAA requires that the entrance way be for the exclusive use of the airport, and won't fund the road until exclusive use is guaranteed. “The entrance way is the key to the whole darn project," said Murphy. “If we don’t “The entrance way is the key to the whole darn project...” Charles Murphy, Airport Manager have the access road, and we’re limited to the hangar area we have now, then we don’t need a longer runway, or more lights, or any more taxiways or anything else." The second sticking point came in the exclusion of plans by local authorities to "modify the existing runway lights to current standards”, said Murphy. He ex­ plained that lights are presently set back 30 feet from the runway to make room for plowing snow in the winter. Current stan­ dards call for lights to be within ten feet of the runway. Cost of modifying plans and moving the lights will run about $35,000 to $40,000, said Murphy. Murphy said word of the change in plans came Tuesday, one day before the second round of bid letting in a statewide $31.5 million Michigan Department of Tran­ sportation expansion and improvement package involving 77 highway, road, bridge and airport improvements. “That doesn't give the bidders a whole lot of time to prepare their bids." said Murphy. Expansion plans here call for a 900-fool extension of the existing 3.000-foot runway, which will place Hastings Airport in the "general utility" category That will ac­ comodate about 90 percent of general aviation aircrafts, including private jets. Other plans include a new parking lot. new hangars, and primary and secondary taxiways. Ninety percent of the $450,000 estimated cost of the runway will be picked up by the federal government, with the slate and local share each five percent. Ironically, the delay could save the city and county money, according to Murphy. He said contractors could feel rushed starting work in late summer. “When the bids do come in. they might not be so bad next spring, as they would if you had to do it on overtime this fall." he said.

Big crowds expected Fair now in full swing After a solid start at the beginning of the week. Barry County Free Fair officials are expecting big crowds for the show of the Original Royal Lippizzan Stallions of Austria on Friday and the demolition derby on Saturday to cap out the 132nd annual fair. "Advance tickets are moving real well for the Lippizzan Stallions," said Jerry Court­ ney. manager of the fair. “The stallions are here now and we’re inviting everybody to come out and view them in their tent.". The show. Friday at 8 p.m. at the grand­ stand. features riders and their white horses performing jumps, leaps and other intricate maneuvers. Courtney said that the demolition derby, scheduled for Saturday at 8 p.m. has at­ tracted a full field of 50 cars that will smash and bash their modified vehicles until only one remains. Courtney said that the 4-H Rodeo on Sunday was a complete success, attracting 100 participants, including eight local con­ tenders. "The kids that participated from other counties said it was the best they had been in." he continued. "For the first time (we had a rodeo), I was very impressed." The manager said that 129 colts were scheduled to run on Wednesday afternoon. Harness racing continues at the track on Thursday, beginning at 5 p.m. and on Friday at 1:30 p.m. when the "overnights" compete in various trots and paces.

It’s for the youth Yessirree! Step right ig> end see the Barry County Free Fair with carnival rides and midway game* and thrills of the summer for young people. But step off the midway, through the commercial exhibits, and walk into the animal barns and non-livestock exhibits for the Side of the fair that affects the lives of young people and families year-round. This year, the Barry County 4-H registered fOO young people from 405 families with entries in the fair. In those back barns, many al which have'been built with volunteer 4-H labor and donated materials and fwdi, are 1,073 animals that have been entered, ranging from cuddly rabbits to ready-for-market steers. In nearby buildings are 2,097 non­ livestock entries that include things such as sewing and knitting projects, pies and preserves, photography, corn, vegetables and much more. Each of those projects began last fall when a 4-H member under the guidance of parents and dub leaders chose projects to undertake for the coming year. An animal had to either be pirchased or selected from the family herd and then carefully nurtured, groomed, trained and loved until fair week when all the effort culminates in a few minutes in the show ring. For participants in the livestock auction, Friday, those few minutes in the ring can mean a profit of hundreds of dollars. A number of 4-H members have been able to begin their financing for college educations through profits from the livestock sale. In an era when we worry so often about crime on the streets, about young people who lack direction in their Hves, about youth becoming involved in drugs and alcohol abuse, 4-H offers a refreshing program of wholesome, family-oriented activities that young people and parents enjoy together. You see 4-H families spending the week together in campers on the west end of the grounds, enjoying the company of each other. The Barry County Free Fair is a lot more than just the glitter of the midway, the excitement of the grandstand and the commercialism of the hawkers. It is a down- Middleville police said a dispute over this dog, a female shepard-pit bulldog mix, resulted in the shotgun wounding of a 37-year-old Crane Road man. That exam is set for July 23 at 10 a.m. The crime is punishable by up to life in prison. Middleville police said John Howell, 4315 Crane Rd., discharged a 16-guage shotgun into the right, rear shoulder of his neighbor, James Robertson, 37, 8200 Crane Rd., in a dispute over Robertson's dog. Robertson was taken to Pennock Hospital for treatment of the wound. He was released Monday, after a two-day stay. Barry County District Court Judge Gary Holman freed Howell on a $10,000 personal recognizance bond, after Howell's attorney, Bruce Gee of Hastings, said his client had never been in trouble with the law in his life. "Mr. Howell is a man who has lived his entire life as a law abiding citizen," said Gee. He also pointed out that Howell's wife is to-earth week of family activities that deserves your attendance and support Lippizzan stallions trained with kindness, patience, says owner Col. Otto Herrmann an invalid, and needs constant care. Nlddeville Police Sergeant Boyd Cain said the incident started over a dug complaint. According to Cain. Robertson's dog. a shepard-pit bulldog mix. had wandered onto Howell’s property, prompting him to tie the animal up and call the Barry County Sheriff Department. When Robertson came for the animal, Howell reportedly told his neighbor not to come on his property. Robertson apparently ignored Howell's warning, and was shot while .talking away with his dog. Howell's acquaintances describe him as a nice, quiet man. who worked for Bradford White Corp, in Middleville for 36 years before retiring last spring. He has lived in the same house, which sits on a 14-acre parcel of land north of the village, for the past 37 years Ron Wilson, a Barry County animal control officer, said he was the first on the scene, after sheriff deputies called the shelter to pick the dog up. Wilson said he was met at the house by Howell, who was upset. "The first thing he said was that he shot a man. He kept saying ‘I'm in deep trouble, I’m in deep trouble."’ Wilson said Howell told him he warned Robertson to stay away from the dog, but that Robertson ignored him. "Howell said Robertson said ’Who's going to stop me?’, and that he (Howell) went back to the house and grabbed his shotgun,” said Wilson. Wilson said Robertson was hanging on to the dog when the shooting occurred. He estimated the distance between Robertson and Howell to be about “20 paces" when the shotgun discharged. Richard Engle, Barry County animal control officer, said Robertson has been known to let his dog run loose in the past, and the animal has been held at the animal shelter several limes. The last incident, said Engle, came about two months ago. Engle described the dog as "friendly", but seems to be attracted to Howell’s home everytime it runs loose. He said the problem with the dog goes back a year or more. Engle said he is currently holding the dog at the pound. "The police told me to go ahead and get rid of it,” said Engle. "But I'm not going to do that until the case is resolved by the judge.” Engle said he hopes to have the dog adopted, rather than pul to sleep. “It's not the dog's fault.

Too soon to tell if dry spell affected wheat crop Visually, the overall winter wheat crop in Barry County looks good despite limited rainfall in June, but the exact condition won’t be known until the combines get into the fields, said Dave Merck, extension agricultural agent. In dry sandy areas, however, wheat powers will "probably have a pretty poor crop,” he predicts. If the soil was dry during the time when the seeds were forming, the yield might be lower. Wheat starts "heading out and flowers in early June or late May...after it flowers it starts filling with seeds and when it’s dry, the kemals will not be as dense or as big and heavy," said Merck. If the wheat kemals are not as dense as they should be, it will take more volume per bushel resulting in a loss of potential yield. According to the federal and state Agricultural Reporting Service, Michigan's winter wheat production is forecast at 40million bushels which would be a 12-percent increase above last year's production. The service said yields in the stale are expected to average 50-bushels per acre, one bushel above last year. It should be at least another week before the status of Barry's winter wheat produc­ tion can be determined, said Merck. PUBLIC OPINION: What’s Your Favorite Fair Activity?

Australia. Detroit. Chicago, and a log cabin in the Ozarks have been •home' at one time or another to Alice Jones who began her life as a "farm girl from Pennsylvania." Since 1974, Barry County has been the one and only place of residence for Alice and her husband. Kensinger. Here, they've found that their lives mosh beautifully with nature's .splendor that seems to abound everywhere on their acreage in Hope Township. Krom their home, they have a scenic view of Aurohn Lake (pronounced ’Our Own' Lake). The Joneses creatively contrived the name in response to questions of 'where do you live?' With humor in her voice, she says, "We always said we lived at our own lake.” With the unusual spelling, some people think Aurohn is an Indian name, she said. Their land is a place where hummingbirds frequently flutter around the flower beds.. . where a wren feels welcome to fly onto the patio... and where geese and their goslings provide a scenic distraction that is far from the hustle and bustle of the big cities in the couple's past. The Joneses originally bought the local acreage in 1969 to use as a weekend retreat when they were living in Detroit and later in Chicago. Alice found the property in a most unusual way. She wanted to find a place where Ken could fish and getaway from the world of business on weekends and vacations. Rather than go the conventional route with a real estate agency, she called a favorite Detroit radio talk show whose formal was geared to allowing listeners to go "on the air” to tell about items they wanted tosell. buy or trade. It wasn't long after Alice called the station that a listener responded by ottering to sell the Joneses the Barry County property which they purchased the following spring Since moving here. Alice has enjoyed (fobvolunteer work at Pennock Hospital. A charter member of the hospital's Guild 2 she is one of the volunteers you might’see wheeling the book cart into patients' reoms. Alice also is a former five-year member of the hospital auxiliary board. The local branch ot the Association ot American University Women has been another interesl. tn addition to being a charter member, she has served as its president, treasurer and program chairman. Alice s involvement with the hospital book cart coincides with her interesl in books. Alice holds a master s degree in library science from Wayne State University and has worked in a high school library in Royal Oak and also at a library in St. Louis. Mo. Over the years, she's enjoyed helping Ken with research he has needed in his work. The couple met when she was studying to be a librarian at Clarian University and he was an aviation cadet during World war II. His career as a creative director for a large advertising firm took the couple to Australia and Sinapore which they enjoyed im­ mensely. The Joneses have two children, Janice Geary of Grand Rapids and Jeffrey Jone; of Berkley, Mi; and five grandchildren. Alice and Ken love to entertain ^.id she says her main thrust is geared in that direction along with her home and family. She's dabbled in a variety of projects in­ cluding creating a stained glass window for a door in their home. Currently. Alice said she is looking forward to learning how to use a computer and collaborating on some writing projects with her husband. Old friends in a new location.

P.O. Box B, Hastings, Ml. 49058 �Tho Hostings Bonner — Thursday, July 19. 1984 From Time to Tint... by...Esther Walton 100 years ago The Banner campaigned for adequate fire protection For the entire year of 1884, The Hastings Banner presented its readers with the issue of inadequate fire protection for the village. The Banner's editor, M.L. Cook, was particularly interested in a water works system as the answer to protect the village's 2,628 citizens from a disastrous fire. The January 18 issue said, “Our wish for the city this year is the new railroad, water works, telephone exchange, much improved streets and street lighting. A good many things besides these we ought to have but... Considering the number uf residents of the village this was quite a shopping list for the city council." The Banner had suffered a heavy loss and inconvenience to its office and printing shop from a fire on Nov. 25, 1883. Il took the paper several months to build, buy new equipment, and restock all of its materials. Beginning in February, the paper began its campaign for competent fire protection: “The subject of better fire protection in Hastings is one that ought to interest our citizens, and so interest them that some decisive action shall be taken." At that time, the fire depart­ ment's entire apparatus was one water hand-pumper, a supply of water buckets, and a hose cart pulled by 18-20 men, all volunteers. The fire depart­ ment consisted of all volunteers and they voted their own captain. They met to practice running the hose cart down the road seeing if they could do it in record’s time. The hose company was good as they won the Michigan Championship on Sept. 27, 1884, during the Michigan State Fireman's Association. Water which the firemen used came from three cisterns (underground tanks). The cisterns were full only after a rain and then held but 2,700 gallons of water, enough for 20 minutes of pum­ ping. but not enough for a major fire. There were three of these cisterns located on State Street. The Banner pointed out the daily danger of fires. “We have plenty combustible material for a large fire here (the majority of downtown buildings were built of pine), a fire that could and doubtless wcild do immense damage to our business interests..." The Banner described the wooden structures that lined State Street. "One can readily see what a disaster is in store for us seme day... Nothing but the very best of fire protection can save... these quarters in case of fire." The location erf a wood-working manufacturing plant and its storage yards posed a great threat to business buildings. The Spaulding Manufac­ turing Company was located in one block, bounded by the present Michigan and Jefferson streets on the east and west by State Street and Apple on the south and north. Their large barns and Glathart-Otis engagement told There will be an open house in honor of the 85th birthday of Roland E. Voigt on July 22, from 4 till 9 p m., at his home on 502 S.

He has been a member of the International Typographical Union for over 50 years and has worked in every state of the union except Maine, being what was known in earlier years as a “tramp printer". He worked for 20 years altogether in Battle Creek, starting at the old Moon-Journal in 1927 and later worked at the Enquirer and News. He also worked for 10 years at the Jackson Citizen-Patriot from where he retired in 1967. He has resided in Hastings since 1970. Dr and Mrs. Justin L.

Apparently there was some disagreement within the council on how it should proceed, for in the same issue. The Banner com­ mented. "Those wishing to attend a first class circus, free of charge, doubtless will do well to attend the sessions of the common council of the City of Hastings." The water works bonding matter languished all summer and finally, on August 29, The Banner lamented, "which shall we have first, waler works or the railroad? Let us be grateful, if we have either.” A majority of the city council members were concerned that the school bonds issued in 1872 had not yet been paid and they considered a new water system to be an unnecessary extravagance. Another argument bearing on the water works was the second railroad to be built into town. It was felt that, if the railroad were not constructed, the town would not grow and there would be no need for a municipal water works. As the summer passed into autumn, "he Banner stated on Oct. 2, 1884, “The sentiment in favor of postponing put­ ting in the water works until after some definite knowledge that the C.K.fcS. railroad will be built is growing, if the city is not to increase in population and wealth more rapidly than ithas the past four years, many of our taxpaying citizens think we ought not to assume any more obligations at present, especially as money matters are quite close... While The Banner has been a friend of the project, been (associated) with the riff-raff and floodwood of the city, as one gentleman told us. We can see that there is justice in the con­ servative views of those who are favorable to the postponement. The council does wisely in seeing its way clear before taking any decisive step." (“Floodwood" was slang for rabblerouser, like we say "dirt-bags".) By the end of October, The Banner reported on the city council, "Our city lathers have wrestled with the much discussed question of water works or no water works. Almost every proposition that the mind of mortal man could frame has been submitted to them but without avail... last night... they passed the following proposition: That the water works be put in by a private In 1884 The Banner campaigned for better firefighting safeguards, par­ ticularly a more sophisticated water works. The fire department. Itself, was good. As shown above, the hose company was good enough to win the state championship on Sept. 27 during the Michigan State Fireman's Association meeting. company and the city bind itself to rent so many hydrants... There is already some dissatisfaction shown as to this plan... The end is not yet, we predict." The paper was correct. The city council did nothing except discuss the issue for the following twu years. Finally, a major fire swept the downtown Hastings and caused the city to act. On Aug. w, 1886, the "Great" fire, which had been predicted by The Banner, nearly destroyed the complete downtown area. Several factories, Spaulding Manufacturing Company among them, a hotel, and a new but never occupied opera house, along with several residences were engulfed in flames. The fire covered the area from just west of Boltwood, clearing out the whole block north of State Street bet­ ween Jefferson and Michigan with the exception of the Empire Block Building and one other smaller building. It gutted all the buildings on the north side of State between Michigan and Bolt­ wood and the Tbornapple River. It also took out some buildings on the south side of State between Boltwood and Michigan. "Only, the timely arrival of the fire departments from Charlotte and Grand Rapids kept the conflagration from going entirely out of control," said The Banner in reporting the fire. M.L. Cook, in the Centennial Banner, tells the results of the fire: “Fire loss was estimated at more than 1100,000 with less than a third of the damage covered by insurance. In addition, Hastings lost its largest in­ dustry, the A.G. Spaulding Company. After this disaster, a $50,000 bond issue was quickly approved by the city council for construction of an adequate water works system." Republicans serve you better! Open house planned to honor Roland E. Voigt for his 85th birthday I sheds, which held dried lumber, backed up to the rear if stores which lined Jefferson and State streets. The company manufactured baseball bats, ctwjuel balls and many other wooden items. Saw dust, wood chips and discarded wood pieces were spread in its yards. Spaulding Manufacturing Company frequently advertised wood for sale, "Shop clipping and dry hard wood pieces". When the Banner mentioned about a fire "that would do immense damage", it was referring to the city square block of wooden buildings, piles of saw dust, and wood chips. The Banner also mentioned that boys were seen playing with matches in these same wood piles. As though following The Banner's prediction of possible fires, on Feb. 22, a report of the burning of Bartley's Mill appeared in the paper. The Bartley Mill was the city's new large steam flouring mill. “As speedily as possible, the (fire) department was on hand with the city’s squirt-gun. but it was soon evident that no good could be accomplished... The mill with contents were soon a shapeless mass of smouldering ruins, none of tt>e contents... were saved." The Banner continued: “Bad as the loss to Mr. Bartley, the city suffers most by the fire.” The paper then asked why the city fathers could not resolve the question of better water works and fire protection. AU spring The Banner repeated the need for water works which included fire protection. In March of 1884, some plans for a proposed water works made the front page news. A March 7 news article bluntly stated “that the burning of Bartley's Mill demonstrated the utter insufficiency of our hand engine to cope with anything like a large fire." Among the many ideas proposed for better fire protection, two were to buy a steam engine and enlarging the present cisterns; and securing water works with wells, mains and hydrants. The Banner supported the latter idea because “water rents would more than pay the cost of operations." Finally on April 7, 1884, the question of issuing bonds for a water works was presented to the voters. The Banner published many news articles on the discussion of the water works and stated its position: “Let every citizen in favor of water works vote... the op­ ponents of the measure certainly will." The results of the election wras reported the following week. "A large vote was polled on the water works and the yeas got there by 160 majority. The proposition to bond thec!ty carried by a handsome majority." Although the voters had approved the bond issue in early April, the city council took no immediate action to secure a water system.

' Michigan’s jobless rate remains unchanged in June at 11.3% Michigan's unemployment rate held steady from May to June at 11.3 percent of the labor force, according to estimates released today by S. Martin Taylor, director of the Michigan Employment Security Commission. Taylor reported that the number of jobless workers in the state edged up to 503.000 in June, an increse of 6,000 from the May level. A year earlier, June 1983, Michigan's unemployment rate was 14.6 percent with 650.000 out of work. The current June jobless rate is the lowest for the month since 1981 when the percentage of unemployed was 11.1 percent. Taylor said conditions in Michigan’s labor force remained stable during June as the work force and total employment registered fairly typical seasonal increases. The work force grew by 56,000 to 4,451,000 while the number of new jobs rose oy 50,000 lo 3,949,000. Most of the job gains occurred in the construction, service and retail trade in­ dustries. In looking at the first six months of 1984, Taylor pointed out that Michigan's labor force is slowly improving. Since January unemployment in the state has fallen from 12.8 lo 11.3 percent, and the number of jobless has dropped by 27,000. At the same time, the labor force has grown by 305.000 an employment is up by 333,000. Michigan's seasonally adjusted jobless rate dropped slightly in June to 11.6 percent from 11.7 percent in May. The number of unemployed was down by 6,000 to 506,000. In June, the seasonally adjusted unem­ ployment rate for the nation's civilian labor force fell to 7.1 percent from 7.5 percent in May. The number of unemployed workers nationwide fell by 385.00 to 8,130,000. Local airman receives promotion Paul J. Rugg, son of John L. and Shirley A.

MEMBER FDIC All Deposits Insured up to ‘100.000 Phone 945-3437 man; Jehovah’s Witnesses attend convention The local congregation of Jehovah's Witnesses was among an audience of 45,436 Johevah's Witnesses that jammed the Silverdome in Pontiac for the final sessions of the “Kingdom Increase" district convention of the religious group. The key speech • "A Government That Ac­ complishes What Man Cannot" • was the William Silva of Detroit. Speaking from a prepared text, Mr. Silva contrasted the great scientific achievements of the 20lh century with the massive problems that perplex the human family. Paradoxically, Mr. Silva said, we reap benefits from modem technology and also are threatened with ex­ tinction by new weapons of enormous, destructive power. He also pointed to econynic crises, rapidlychanging life-styles, moral decay, disease and hunger as problems that remain un­ solved despite technological advancement. "In the United States, some 34 million persons are classified as living below the poverty line." he said, “and as many as hyo-and-a-hulf million citizens are without a place to live." Human governments cannot solve global poverty, he sard. He detailed that governments of the un­ derdeveloped world are 700 billion dollars in debt and many cannot even pay the interest on their loans. Looking lo the future, Mr. Silva concluded by saying that soon the entire human family will be truly brothers and sisters. "So come lo the God who guarantees the very best government for mankind, the government that, in the very near future, will be the only one this earth will have." Mr. S:lva concluded. The same delegation of Witnesses from this area will be attending their semi­ annual Circuit Assembly at their Assembly Hall in Holt, July 21 and 22. One thousand eight hun­ dred are expected to be in attendance. The public discourse will be: "Why Submit lo God's Rulership Now." by Steven Maurer The future of America depends on the youth it produces. The youth in return, then, depends on America to teach him. Many different to opportunties are open for the youth and it is up to him and America to help him seek these opportunities. There are different times in a youth's "growing up" process that causes him to need to experience different people, their problems, and their endeavors so that he can overcome difficulties later on in life. People are always around and their advice is always ihere. They are always ready and willing to help the youth through his hard­ ships and frustrations. People are en­ couraging the youth to progress. Education is how one teaches another to grow; to educate means to provide one with knowledge or training and to stimulate or develop the mental or moral growth. The education process for the youth started at day one and will continue throughout his entire life. Throughout these years, the youth develops certain morals and values and understandings about how America works. As a person gains these values, he becomes more aware of his surroundings and will soon be able to teach. When one gains these values he gains in­ dividuality and leadership. These value are implanted into the youth's mind and will lead him through his "journey through life." The individual, after 13 years of thorough study at an early age, is then able to use this and his leadership to either continue higher education or to develop into a working citizen of America. He is now on his own to succeed in whatever way he knows how to. Coming from a strong family background will give an extra strong impression on the youth; a family to give the youth an understanding of right and wrong is a major influence on him. A strong family encourages the youth to strive harder and to reach out to achieve the highest that he can. A family that gives the youth much freedom, but only in the case where the youth knows right and wrong, is what a youth will remember when he is out to set an example. America is not like a game of “life" where every move you make is designated by what's written on a card. A person has to make decisions in a rational slate of mind now so that in thefuture he knows that he has made the right decisions. Not only will the extremely intelligent and the strong leaders succeed, but everyone has a part in the master plan of our future. One may think, though, “I am only one in 250 million people in the country, one of 4.9 billion in the world. What can I do?" America is becoming a very complicated and advanced placeforone to grow up in and learn in.

Rutland Township supports proposal The Rutland Township Board at its regularly scheduled meeting on July 11 recommend a "yes" vote for the proposal to fix allocated millage for six years. The question is on the Aug. 7 ballot The recommendation was given due to the fact that the township officials said, present allocation has been done in the same manner for over 10 years, that each year the allocation process costs Barry County ap­ proximately $700; and that this will not only be a great aid to the schools' budgeting and millage determination process, but also for the county and townships.

Did the other players always moan and groan when they found out you'd be playing on their team? Did you give up what you thought was a promising baseball career because you went after curve balls with as much enthusiasm as Gremlins sitting down to dinner before midnight. # Hey man, don’t worry about it. There’s always slo-pitch softball. Forget all that jazz about anybody being able to play the sport—it's not true. It doesn't matter how much talent you actually possess. Talent has virtually nothing to do with what we're talking about here. As long as a softball player follows the following set of pointers he can have people thinking he's really a top-notch ballplayer. Follow these rules to be a softball star: Also, it’s important that the tobacco repeat never, trot onto a softball field maintains high visibility. This can be ac­ without at least one batting glove. In fact, stick one in your back pocket white you're on complished by sticking the tobacco (without question Red Man is the most popular) in the field (you're already wearing one; of your open back pocket. course, underneath your mitt) and use it A word of caution: Never, and we mean when you come to bat. never, swallow the stuff. It’s practically deadly. Besides, it’s very difficult to hide a greenish-looking ballplayer. Make excuses — Never admit you made an error. Sure, everybody makes them, but don't let on that anything was your fault The most handy excuse naturally is blaming the umpire. Nobody likes umpires anyway, and if you tactfully point out that Ray Charles makes better calls, the heat will be off you. Real ballplayers use this excuse constantly. Lesser excuses include being blinded by the sun, being tired from working all day (don’t, of course, use that 0M on the weekend), and perhaps even being han­ dicapped by a minor injury. Always use proper softball lingo — Softball players have different vocabularies (usually they’re more limited) than regular people. Such terms as "can o’ com," "shot’em," "turn a pair,” “no stick," etc. should always be tossed around during a bailgame. Softball fans can tell whether you are a real ballplayer just by the way you chatter. If you don't know the terms, learn them before you even stuff that first wad of tobacco in your mouth. Dress the part — Real softball players NEVER wear long pants. They leave that to the baseball players. Instead, real softball p ayers always wear sliding shorts with knee pads (you could be real daring and scrap the knee pads) wristbands, a visor, and possibly even a smudge of black eye shadow un­ derneath your eyes to ward off the glare of the sun. The real key to dressing correctly, however, rests with batting gloves. Never, Remember, if you don't look like a ballplayer, how can anybody possibly realize how good you really are? Chew tobacco—Sure, it's a dirty habit, but really, have you ever seen a real ballplayer without a chaw bloating out his cheek? Certainly not. Drink beer — Ah, now we come to the real test of being a softball star. Everybody knows softball players drink beer like water. Make sure you spend AT LEAST one hour in the bar after each and every game. This allows you to rehash the game, pointing out to your teammates all of your outstanding achievements performed on this night. If you go home right after the game, your teammates are liable to forget your numerous memorable contributions. If you happen you have had a bad game, just sit there and sort of be inconspicuous. But by all means, still march down to the bar because nobody would think you were a real ballplayer unless you did. If by chance you cannot hold your beer like a normal ballplayer, the suggestion here is to continually practice. If these simple rules are followed to the letter, rest assured anybody can become a popular softball star. Like we said earlier, talent has absolutely nothing to do with being a star. �Poge 11 — The Hostings Bonner — Thursday. July 19. 1984 SUNDAY BRUNCH Fair fun!!! DDSs.

Long-range plans call for swimming pools, a bathhouse, and tennis courts. Price 25< Barry-Eaton Circuit Court Judge Hudson E. Deming Inspects the KAV-Co. landfill site Tuesday afternoon. Deming and attorneys for the state and KAV-Co. travelled to the Prairieville Township site so the judge could better understand the nature of the state's suit against the company. Suspected burglary ring broken Three Battle Creek men are bing held in the Barry County Jail on $20,000 bond each after their arrest Saturday night during a burglary at a salvage yard, in which hun­ dreds of pounds of brass and copper were carted away. The three are identified as Bert Miner, 42, Danny Rae Carnes, 22, and Daniel Eugene Seller, 28. Their arraignment on felony charges of breaking and entering an unoc­ cupied building is set for Monday, July 30, at 11:30 a.m. Hastings police said the three are part of a five to seven county burglary ring which has been under investigation by the Michigan State Police for several months. Hastings City Police Detective Dana Steidle said the trio had spent most of last week stealing copper and brass from the Summit Steel warehouse, located on Railroad Street. Scrap copper is currently worth about 83 cents a pound, while the price of hard brass is about 40 cents a pound. A Summit Steel employee said thieves stole mostly copper. Steidle said the theft was first reported Friday night, and investigated by Sgt. Austin Loftus. Loftus, said Steidle, noticed a path of "beaten down weeds" leading up to the warehouse, and ascertained that the culprits had spent several nights unloading the scrap metals. Saturday night, Steidle, along with four uJier members of his department, set up surveillance of the warehouse. "About 1:20 a.m., we got some activity," said Steidle. “We sealed off the area, and when they were all done doing their job. we got them.” He said two reserve officers, Ed Danielewicz and Steve Baldey, watched the suspects use a wheelbarrow and a hand cart for about 40 minutes before moving in for the arrests. Steidle said the suspects had parked a van several blocks away, which they intended to use to haul away the metals. Following the arrests, law enforcement officers found about $15,000 worth of stolen property, including approximately 600 pounds of copper and brass, in a Battle Creek warehouse, said Steidle. Steidle said the trio is responsible for the theft of approximately one ton of brass and copper from Summit Steel, before their arrest. He described the suspects as very organized, and said they had even rented a 24-foot U-Haul truck to carry away stolen property. Steidle said all three men have extensive criminal backgrounds. He said state police have identified one suspect, Bert Miner, as the "ringleader”. The crime of breaking and entering of an unoccupied building carries a maximum ten years in prison. However, police said they are anticipating other warrants from other counties. by Ken Reibel The bench trial of the owners of a Prairieville Township landfill shut down for contaminating groundwaters opened Monday in Barry County Circuit Court, with the state claiming that pollution of ground­ waters in the area is worsening. Assistant Attorney General Tom Emery, in his opening statement, said the state will prove that the dump is contaminating residential wells in the nearby Lake Doster subdivision, located northwest of the site. The trial ran Monday through Wednesday, and will continue for the same three days in Charlotte next week. Presiding is BarryEaton Circuit Court Judge Hudson E. Deming. Emery told the court Monday that recent tests show that the contaminants, more than a dozen organic and inorganic chemicals, are increasing- in concentration, and spreading faster than originally thought The landfill, which has been operating since 1959, was dosed in January, 1983, following a show-cause hearing in Barry County Circuit Court. The site, owned by a Kalamazoo-based consortium of refuse haulers, operated between the yean 1966 and 1979 under Michigan Public Act 87, which dealt with the management of landfills. In January, 1979, the state replaced PA 87 with PA 641, which also deals with protection of groundwater. KAV-Co. applied for licensing under the new act, but was denied. KAV-Cb. attorney Richard Quist of Grand Rapids pointed out that the landfill had been licensed by the state for many years under PA 87, and it wasn’t imtil the enactment of PA 641 that KAV-Co.'s problems began. Quist called the provision’s of PA 641, and those of PA 245, the Water Resources Commission Act of 1928, "uoconsitutionally vague", and claimed that the state bears equal responsibility for any problems by licensing the site. The state is seeking a coirt order from Deming to force KAV-Co. to create an im­ permeable clay cover over the company’s 80acre dump, located in the extreme southwest corner of Barry County. Quist said that such a cover could cost $1 million or more. In addition, the state wants KAV-Co. to supply clean drinking water to nearby residents whose wells are alleged to be af­ fected, to install pumps to monitor and purge groundwaters, and to pay fines of up to $10,000 for each day of non-compliance with state pollution laws. Quist rebutted the state's contention that the pollution is worsening by pointing out there is no evidence that the waters under the dump are the same waters as those under the subdivision. Under questioning by Attorney Emery, Department of Natural Resources Geologist Virginia LaSalle said chemicals leaching from the KAV-Co. landfill were degrading the groundwaters in and around the landfill. However, under cross-examination by Quist, LaSalle admitted that she could not make a hydrological connection between KAVCo.'s aquifer and that of the subdivision. “I don't know for a fact that the water from the landfill reaches the subdivision," said LaSalle. She pointed out that there were no monitor wells in the subdivision. LaSalks’ charts showed, based on water table elevations, that the aquifer moves northwest from the landfill, towards the homes on Lake Doster. However, she said it was possible that the aquifer, or water table, could steer away from the subdivision In support of the defendant's assertion that there is no connection between KAV-Co.'s waters and the subdivision’s, LaSalle ad­ mitted that the concentration of organic chemicals found in the resdentia) wells were less than those detected by monitor '"ells at the dump. Tuesday, Quist called to the stand Gun Plain Township Clerk Don Gelbaugh, a member of the Plainwell Sanitary Board. Under questioning by Quist, Gelbaugh said Continuod on pogo 2 City council appoints Ken Miller to fill seat by Ken Reibel The Hastings City Council appointed Hastings realtor Ken Miller Monday night to fill a first-ward council seat vacated earlier this month by Mary Spackman. Miller's term will run for IB months, until the end of December, 1985. Miller and his wife, Ruth, live at 505 N. Taffee Dr. The couple have three sons, all grown: Steve and Jeff, of Hastings, and David, of Texas. In nominating Miller, Hastings Mayor William Cook noted the realtor has been active in the community, and is currently a member of the Hastings Planning Commission. The mayor also commented “I think he will be a good addition to the board Miller first joined the Planning Com­ mission in January, 1974, taking over for Hastings banker Robert Sherwood. Traditionally, the job of nominating a replacement for a departing aiderman falis to the remaining aiderman from that ward. Spackman resigned her council seat this month when she moved to a new home in the third ward.

July 26, 1984, Page 2 VIEWPOINT: Commentaries from our editorial staff and the community — If a 24.1-mill request is voted down in next month's special election, schools will open as scheduled in the Delton-Kellogg district but EDITORIAL Too much campaign? Yes and no. This week's public opinion question asks readers if we have too much campaign for president and if they are tired of the process, our readers’ eight responses can be found below. Our answer to the question is a definite yes, we have too much campaign in terms of jockeying for the spotlight, and a definite no because we have too little campaign when it comes to examining the issues. This problem is found not only at the national level but at the state and local levels as well. Too often campaigning becomes competition for the attention of the media instead of an honest examination of the positions on the problems of government and the people. On the national level, we have watched as Walter Mondale campaigned for the Democratic nomination for four years. The first three years were spent on the road meeting people, lining up supporters and setting up an organization. Mondale spent a great deal of time speaking to conventions and organizations looking for endorsements and thus became viewed as a candidate of the special interests. It has only been in the last six months that Mondale has had to face the electorate to win convention delegates and he began speaking to more generalized groups. Even after Mondale, Gary Hart and Rev. Jesse Jackson started competing head to head, though, you had to pay close attention to find out their opinions and their differences. The national media, especially television, and the candidates themselves shoulder the blame for focusing too much attention on the tactics of campaigning and too little on issues. Recall in March the amount of air time and news space devoted to Mondale and Hart's campaign strategies to win Michigan and Jackson’s court challenge of the Democratic rules. Little attention was devoted to what the candidates said about keeping the automobile industry on a recovery course. We doubt if few people other than the autoworkers could 'ell us the can­ didates' positions on domestic content legislation which would affect the automobile industry and possibly all other foreign trade. In the Fifth District congressional race we’ve seen the four Republican can­ didates devoting a lot of attention to who is ahead in the opinion polls and who has the siqiportof party officials. Unfortunately, the race appears to be boiling down to a contest of name recognition and advertising budgets instead of the clear separations the candidates have on issues. There are plenty of issues to debate on the national, state and local levels and beyond specific topics the candidates concepts of the role of government in society should be understood by the voters. If campaigns seem too long, it is because they are too often lacking substance. Candidates could do a lot to rectify that problem by addressing issues instead of opponents and the media can help by reporting the substantive stories. To aid your understanding of the candidates in this area, next week's Banner will contain a special election section featuring interviews with congressional can­ didates, and a look at the candidates on the county and township levels. State claims landfill pollution worsening, Continued from page 1 The case of Kelly v. KAV-Co. finished up the second day of testimony in the state's lawsuit with a -walkthrough the company's 80-acre site in Prairieville Township. From left are Barry-Eaton Circuit Court Judge Hudson E. Deming, KAVCo. s attorney Lloyd Yenner of Kalamazoo, State Assistant Attorney General Tom Emery, and Karl Surma, Judge Deming’s law clerk. many of the homes in Lake Doster have septic tanks, and he outlined on a subdivision map the location of sewer lines. Gelbaugh said that under current state law, there can be no other, form of domestic sewage disposal other than a domestic sewer hookup or septic tanks. Gelbaugh, who was subpoened to appear in court, said that prior to the summer of 1982, all of the the homes in the Lake Doster area used septic tanks. Contaminants were first detected around the landfill in 1978. Hastings It is commonly accepted by engineers that septic tanks can contribute to contamination of groundwaters, and can leach many of the same chemicals as have been found in the waters beneath KAV-Co.'s landfill. The DNR estimates that 13 percent of the groundwater pollution in Michigan is a result of landfill seepage. Attorneys for the state say the KAV-Co. case may be the first time Michigan has gone to court to halt the operation of a landfill. Banner] Send form P.S. 3579 to P.O. Box B (USPS 071-830) 1952 N.

New homework policy approved at Hastings by Norma Acker Hastings students, teachers and parents will have new guidelines regarding homework as the result of a policy adopted this month by the Hastings Board of Education. Dr. Earl Newman, director of educational services, said that the board’s policy on homework in the past has not been clear and he noted that homework has been a concern in many recent reports critical of the education system. The policy defines homework as, “any assignment to be prepared during a period of supervised study in class or outside of class or which requires work in the libary, study hall or away from school. The policy also states that in no situation is homework to be used as a form of punish­ ment. “Homewoik should be for the benefit of the students. We don’t want to send kids the message that academic work is punishment We want to teach students to love learning, not to fear it,” Newman said. “We all know of instances where teachers have used homework as punishment" he continued, but he didn’t feel that has been a problem in Hastings. The policy says that homework should be considered an extension of the instructional program that has the five following pur­ poses: 1. To improve learning by providing students with practice in applying the skills, concepts and principles which are taught during class sessions; 2. Toaid in the mastery of skills by students; 3. To create and stimulate student interest; 4. To teach students the discipline of con­ structive use of time; 5. To enable students to prepare class assignments which cannot be completed during class time. It is also noted in the policy that when giving homework, teachers should consider the value of participating in family life and in school and community programs, pursuing cultural interests and exploring personal interests. Several teachers homework and classes. Linda Corrigan, first grade teacher pt] Southeastern Elementary School, uses the' “Workshop Way" instructional program in which there is daily homework. “It's a responsibility builder that we are working for," Corrigan said. She said that a lot of the homework given on the elementary level is to help students develop responsibility. “I'm definitely against giving homework without instruction or for busy work. If you can justify it, then 1 think it’s great," she said. Corrigan said that regular homework should not be confused with makeup work for time missed which may require help from parents because explanations were missed in class. Dan Ferris, junior high math teacher, said that in his subject area, homework gives additional practice and some students work better on homework than they do in class. “1 am supportive of homework. It has a place and my experience has been that most parents are supportive of homework.” Ferris said. Homework is a tool for better preparing students for classroom activities, David Kielzmann, high school social studies teacher, said. “If students don't do homework, there is the chance that they will fall behind because they have to incorporate concepts from two different places rather than one," he ex­ plained.

Camp said that in has top level engineering-physics class, -hich uses a college text, he gives lots of homework during the first nine weeks of the course. “It’s important in that class,” he said. Camp explained that the homework given is in the nature of reading and interpreting the text. He said that it provides experience and helps to develop study habits. Camp said that much of the reading for this course is done in class and that he assigns problems which take most of the students' time. He added that homework is essential in a class of this type and that the students who have taken it in the past have done well. Camp also teaches a genera) physics class for students who are not going on to study engineering. Students who take this course may go on to be technicians or technologists or may be in fields that are not science oriented. He said that there is some homework in this course but that most study and problems are done in class. “These students are not required to read and interpret as much. The textbook does the job,” he said. Newman currently has a committee consisting of all building principals, selected staff members and administrators that is formulating broad policies, and later specific guidelines, on homework which will be published in the student handbooks at each gradelevel. He hopes that all policy work can be completed by the end of the first semester. Sanders gave an updated report on the district's financial status at Monday's meeting of the board of education. Currently the district has only eightallocated mills from the county with which to operate during the 1984-85 school year because voters defeated a 24.1-mill package last June. On Saturday, August 18 voters will be asked to reconsider and approve a proposal I hat calls for a renewal of 21.1 mills, a 2-mill increase for operations and a 1-mill increase for capital improvements for two years. If next month's proposal is defeated, the board could come back to voters in October with another millage request before school funds are depleted, Sanders said. However, the board has not discussed details about a third millage attempt nor what type of programs the district will be able to offer if school opens without a millage approval. "At the present moment we're chaneling our energies and activities to August 18.” he added. At Monday's meeting, the board authorized Sanders to make application for a $697,166 loan against anticipated property tax collections to case a cash flow problem that the district experiences at about this time every year. Not having the extra-voted millage complicates the situation this summer. “We can only borrow against the eight-allocated mills," he said. "The district will not receive the eight-allocated mills until Jan. 1 so we have to borrow to take care of the cash flow." In other business, the board approved a recommendation for the district's federallyfunded Chapter 1 program for the coming year which provides remedial support for students who need to improve reading and math skills, etc. The Delton district received $110,796 for the program which was more than it had anticipated. Additions lu the program will include a full-time aide for the develop­ mental kindergarden and an additional employee to serve as a counselor for Chapter 1 students. Also, the middle school principal has been designated to devote supervision time to Chapter 1 activities. The program will continue to have reading aides in the elementary level and aides in the middle school. The board approved spending up to $10,000 from the energy conservation contingency fund to remodel the district's administrative office. The work will be done in conjunction with heating adjistments and installation of insulation that are currently underway as part of the school system's energy con­ servation project. The board awarded a bid of $4,200 for carpentry work to Bob Barnhart, The board accepted a bid from Lockshore Farms of Kalamazoo to supply the cafeteria with milk for the coming school year at .119 cents per half-pint of white milk and .125cents per half-pint of chocolate. Oven Fresh received the bread bid, McDonalds the ice cream bid; and Be-Mo the chip and snack bid. Moretti appointed to T-K board Patricia Moretti of 10830 Shady Lane, Middleville has been appointed to ttie Thomapple-Kellogg Board of Education to fill the vacancy created by the recent resignation of trustee Duane Thatcher. The board appointed Moretti to the seat during a special Monday meeting. Thatcher resigned July 9 to accept an elementary vocal music teaching position in the T-K district Moretti has served on various citizens' committees fa* the school board in the past. She was defeated in a bid to be elected to the board in the recent annual June school board election. During the campaign, she had said that she felt it was “important to have someone new sit on the school board to avoid complacency and bring fresh ideas to meetings." Moretti has been employed for three years as private secretary to Burton H. Upjohn, 10years as a freelance typist for court repor­ ters, and three-years as a freelance court reporter. She and her husband, Car), have two child.*en: Jon, 16, and Missy, 14. PUBLIC OPINION: Nomination too long?

Joe Lown Carolyn Dooley Weller says ‘no’ to raise, if elected Hastings lawyer and candidate for Barry County Prosecutor, Kenneth J. Weller an­ nounced today that if elected he will deny any raises in salary to himself and his assistants resulting from the recent com­ mittee study on county officials salaries. Weller said the money would be better used against future operating expenses of the office or to hire on the area's many unem­ ployed. Weller concluded by staling, “Since I’m single and without dependents. I don't require the extra $8,000 that the raise would add up to over the four year term."

Millie Quimby Herb Moyer Tony Turkal The Question: A recent public opinion sampling showed that three out of four Americans think the process for nominating a presidential can­ didate is too long and too costly. Do you agree? Joe Lown. Hastings: "No. It takes 2 long time for the public to know what's going on. I don't think anyone should just run out in the street and be president." Cathie Freeman. Hastings: “Yes. It's too complicated. I would like to see less primaries, and less excitement over politicians." Howard Bolo, I lastlgs: “I think it's too long of a process to nominate. It goes on for six months. The Democrats had eight people running at one time, and only in the last few­ months did they settle down to three guys which they should have done in the first place.” Jrff Jasperse, Hastings: "Yes. It's loo complicated. It takes up too much air time, and it’s a waste of money.' Carolyn Dooley, Clarksville: “Yes. That money could be used for education and used to help the welfare people." She suggested limiting campaigns to two or three months, but also conceded that it would be a relatively short time to weed out potential candidates. She also said she wishes there was more public debate time because she thinks that's an important aspect that should “be brought before the public." Millie Quimby. Lansing: "There's not another country in the world that takes a year to elect a president. Plus, you have to be rich or have rich sponsors to back you when you're running for president. They should have a certain amount of money to spend and that's it." Herb Moyer. Hastings: "I agree. I get sick of all the primaries. 1 think if somebody could have come up with a better alternative, they would have done so long ago." Tony Turkal, Hastings: "1 think they're too long. There should be a certain time limit on the primaries. Of course, in order to tie known, a candidate has to travel around and be seen. But they should be restricted both in money and time." �Connie Witzel is champion homemaker of county Connie Witzel — a Hastings homemaker, 4H volunteer and real estate associate — has been se’ected as the 1984 Champion Homemaker in Barry County.

Style Line and the LeeAnn Shoppe The Hastings Bonner - Thursday, July 26. 1984, Page 3 Aging office releases income data About 130,000 Michigan residents age 65 and older live on an average income of less than $4,000 a year. Information released from the Office of Sen ices to the Aging last week reveals 13 percent of Michigan's 65 and older population have an average income of $3,598. Agency Director Olivia P. Maynard reports the average elderly person’s income is $16,208, 70 percent of that for younger households. "With this fixed income, the elderly must cope with the same home maintenance, food and health care costs as anyone else,” ✓ Maynard said. "These figures and others are the result of a special tabulation of the 1983 Current Population Survey. U.S. Census Bureau data. "Elderly persons living alone continue to have the lowest average income (12,671). Almost a half a million of Michigan's older people fall in this category," she noted. ''People at this income level are aften isolated and need socialization, as well as other services." The special tabulation shows 41 percent of the 65-plus group (approximately 400.000) had incomes of less than $10,000 in 1982. For those in the lowest income group, Social Security constitutes over 84- percent of their 'P™"16 (**.000). as comPared to being onethird of the household income ($6,000) for persons in higher income brackets Maynard pointed to high health care costs as a primary factor eroding the buying power and savings of thousands of the state's older residents "For the first tune in their lives, thousands of older people are finding themselves in need of some public assistance," she said.

Pie-making a century ago by Elaine Gilbert This Week Featuring... Deborah Lukasiewicz Last week was an exciting one for Deborah Lukasiewicz of Hastings. Deb was selected as the second place winner in the Barry County Fair's 1984 Champion Homemaker Contest. (The first place winner, Connie Witzel, was featured in this column last February). As the mother of three, Deb is busy indoors and out and still manages to can between 300 500 quarts and pints of fruits, preserves, pickles and vegetables every year. In ad­ dition, Deb freezes and dehydrates fruits and vegetables. Most of the foods she prepares are from her own garden. Her appreciative husband, Joe, notes that “every summer she spends hours in the garden planning, planting, pulling weeds and harvesting. This has provided our family with fresh, wholesome produce and helped out substantially on the food budget. Prior to moving into town, we've had Mi to tfc-acre of garden. Even now in town, instead of flower beds, she has vegetable beds along the house and garage." The couple still garden and maintain an apple orchard on their nine-acre plot just outside of Irving where they lived before moving last November to a unique stone house on E. Clinton. Deb also helps her husband spray and harvest 200-apple trees and helps him plant several thousand Christmas trees on property they own in another county. The Lukasiewiczs have lived in Barry County since May of 1981 and Deb has par­ ticipated at the Barry County Fair for al) four-summers. She has had entries in numerous classes in four divisions every year and has won many class ribbons for her efforts. Her entries are not made specifically for the fair but instead are her selections from the food she prepares for her family. Preparing a variety of canned goods makes the task interesting for Deb. She likes to can enough of each item, like sauerkraut, so that she only has to prepare it every other year. She enjoys experimenting with something different each year too. "I like making crazy jellies and jams with different com­ binations." One year it was autumn olive berry jam. Another time she tried canning pears and cantalope together and found the lesults to be very tasty. “I likqjto give samples (of my canning) to the women in our fam ily at Christmas time.” The couple’s three children — Jacob, 6, Rebecca, 4, and Genevieve, 2, — enjoy their mom's homemade fruit leathers. Homedried plums, cherries, pears and apples are other favorites that Deb prepares. She alsc uses the dehydrator to make homemade yogurt Deb’s dill pickles have been a blue ribbon winner at the local fair and she shares that recipe along with ones for freezer sweet pickles and fresh sweet pickle slices with readers this week. The dill pickle recipe is one she obtained from a.friend and Deb likes it because "they are a lot less work than making pickles in a erode and they’re just as good...The pickles are not soggy." She describes the other recipes as “quick" ones and said she received the freezer recipe from her mother-in-law and the fresh pickle slices recipe from a sister-in-law. Growing nut trees is another a vocational interest for Deb and her husband. They currently are involved in growing such nuts as edible chestnuts, English walnuts, but­ ternuts and black walnuts. She also is a member of the Michigan Nutgrowers Association. The couple also enjoy gathering nuts “from some favorite trees" they found while living in variois parts of Michigan (north of Traverse City, the Big Rapids area and the thumb area) In conjunction with Joe’s career with the Soil Conservation Service. Deb’s enthusiasm for growing and preparing foods goes beyond the family table. She is an active member of the Hastings Farmers' Market steering com­ mittee and looks forward to the market’s grand opening on the parking lot of the community building this Friday. She says the concept of having a local farmers market is great for both consumers and as an outlet for small farmers, hobbyists and retired persons who enjoy gardening. “It’s difficult to buy bulk produce if you want to do your own canning (and you don’t grow it yourself). Instead of driving to a farmer’s market in a larger city, “it’s nice to give (area) growers an opportunity here. There’s room for everyone.” When the gardening and canning season is over, Deb’s energies are focused on making as many Christmas gifts for family members as she can.* She does many needlework projects that she gives as gifts and she also contributes items (especially in the flower arranging category) for bazaar and bake sales at St. Rose of Lima Catholic Church FAST Repair Service Slab Wood FOR SALE • Engraving •20.00... buy,obig bundle (pickup truck load) r.f hardwood slobs • Watch Repair HODGES JEWELRY faith TiaberCmpaey M-M'A-MILE SOUTH OF M-43 61B-367-4M9 Your Full Service Repair Center 122 W State St Hastings Ph 945 2963 HOUKS: 7:00a.m. to 3:»p.m. Monday through Frfcday Conning pickles is one of Deb Lukasiewicz's specialties.

The Hastings Banner— Thursday, July 26, 1984, Page 6 where she is a parish member. One of Deb’s creative works, an arrangement of nutshell flowers, garnered a blue ribbon at last week's Barry County Fair. Originally from a suburb south of Detroit, Deb, at one time, had .planned to pursue a career in landscaping. But. when she graduated from Michigan State University with a major in horticulture, she discovered that there weren't any Detroit area Firms who were interested in hiring a ‘woman for a position in landscaping or related work. Consequently, she accepted a job in a small factory which turned out to be a good decision — that’s where she met Jre. Deb’s Dill Pickles Brine: 1-quart vinegar, 2-quarts water and 1cup canning salt.

Optional: may add onion slices with cukes or sliced green peppers. Pies from a professional bakery are very much a part of today's life-style and an acceptable substitute for a kitchen product. There are also homemakers who still take pride in baking their own pastries — apple pie, custard, mince or whatever. The process of making either of these pies in modem times is a far cry from making the pie desserts a hundred years ago. At that time, baking was a real feat that surely the present day homemaker would rather read about than emulate! Consider, for instance, the bake oven. No "bake at 350" in those long ago days. Oven temperature was largely a guess, but one regulated by long experience. In more well-tcnlo homes in the 1880s, there was a kitchen range which provided an oven in luxurious contrast to the crude fireplace chambers of other homes. If ever one should think that too much time is involved in making a pie today, just try to imagine the hours taken to heat a brick oven to a high temperature and the ordeal of shoveling ashes and reaching into the depths of the oven without burned hands! "Recipes” in old cookbooks indicate that the ingredients for the pie may have been the same in the 1880s as in the 1980s. Even though ingredients for pie-making were the same, they were not as handy in olden days. Flour was bought by the barrel and kept in a container in the pantry, along with another barrel of sugar. Lard was obtained from cold weather butchering or purchased at the local general store in pails of various sizes. Pumpkin did not come in cans nor was mincemeat purchased already prepared. Milk and eggs for custards were not in con­ venient containers but had to be “processed" from the barnyard. Cooking utensils differed a hundred years ago. The rolling pin used to push the dough into a think circle is one item that has not changed very much through the years. It was made from a single piece of wood and fashioned in general as they are today. Small beakers and crude tin cups made by hand locally were used for measuring. Today they are sought as items of Americana. Tin pans for the pies were crafted by the load tinker in contrast to the smooth*'pjrdt or lightweight aluminum pans for the modern pastry. Crockery Cape Cod pie pans were large and heavy articles, correct for juicy pies in the 1380s, but currently valued more as decorative collectibles. There were curious utensils no longer practical but highly desirable as collectible kitchenware (if they can be found). Most of them were handmade by the clever tinsmiths and sold, perhaps, by the itinerant peddler rather than at the country store. Many ot them have a hook or circle indicating that they were hung on the wall for storage. Since “throwing away” has been a common custom when modernizing a kitchen, most of the old pie-making utensils have all but disappeared and are not always recognizable when encountered at a flea market or antique shop. The ingenious pie-bird was one method of keeping the boiling juices of a pie from spilling over on the oven surface. Pie-birds were small and colorful. They varied from three to five inches in height and are made of oven­ proof porcelain or china. A small opening in the base of the bird was designed to be inserted in the center of the bottom crust of a fruit pie. After the fruit filling was added, the top crust (with a center slit) was slipped over the perky little bird’s uplifted bead. The edges of the two crusts were pressed and crimped together. Then the pie and its bird were put in the hot oven. As the pie juice began to boil, the uplifted, open mouth of the bird served as a chimney — releasing steam while the pie baked. Pie birds were not successful. Aside from their failure to emit enough steam from the boiling fruit, the pretty birds left an ugly hole in the center of the pie. Pie birds' popularity in the kitchen was brief but today they have cap­ tivated the knickknack collector. Reproductions are available but lack the charm of the older ones. There was an inch-wide tin band or rim to place around a one-crust pie. This probably was handmade and was devised to be adjustable in size to fit pans of different dimensions. The purpose of this rim was to hold the crust edge in place but it appears as though it could have been used to contain boiling juices much the same as a pie-bird. A pie "lifter" was constructed of heavy wire in sucn a way that its two sides were flexible to grip a pie tin for easy removal from a hot oven. This was an improvement over the wooden "peel” used to reach into deep fireplace ovens. A curious utensil was a lid used to cover a pie as it cooled. The entire surface was pierced to ensure protection from houseflies drawn by the tempting juices of a freshly baked pie. It must be remembered that a century ago bams with stables and busy bar­ nyards were a part of family life and that, unfortunately, they attracted and bred thousands of flies. Houses at that time with inadequate screening in doors and windows were vulnerable to constant attack from flies. Old kitchen utensils are much in demand by collectors. ^stings IS avings & Eloan H 136 L State Street Hostings, Michigan "Serving Hastings and Barry County Since 1924" Services available at your local Savings & Loan Association!

(it) will be an ornament to the city. Modern methods of communication, radio, television and telephone, today transmit news instantly around the world. If one wishes to communicate with someone in Germany, a telephone call instantly links them together. It is difficult for us to imagine how isolated people were from one another 75 or more years ago. Generally speaking, people knew the day-to-day happenings in their own neighborhoods. The farther away from town they lived, the more isolated their lives became. Without a newspaper, the only places a person could hear the news about town or other county neigh­ borhoods was through the gossip generated around the general store, post office, church, school, or oc­ casional social gathering. To obtain this news would have taken the better part of a day’s travel. Letterwriting was the most common method of transmitting personal or social news and local events. Early on. The Hastings Banner started a local news column to give ail its readers a sense of community through the paper. The local news column contained business updates, social news, local attractions, com­ munity betterment programs, and the progress (or lack of it) in the com­ munity. The column also added excitement to the readers’ lives. Readers always showed great interest in the lives of community or social leaders. “Seeing how the other half lived” meant reading about the wdl-todo or the progressive leaders. The local news also printed items about the daily happenings of almost any or everyone in the area. Outlying areas had their own news correspondents who mailed in their news on a weekly basis. Readers were pleased to see their name mentioned as a social note. The local news column contained not only the social news of the community, such as who married whom, but gave humorous anecdotes, along witn the tragic events that touched peoples lives. Many times these short paragraphs were accompanied by editorial comment, much of which would be considered libelous today. Below are selections and examples of The Hastings Banner’s local news from the year 1884. Local Married: Wednesday evening January 16 at the home of the bride in this city, by Rev. R.A. Carahan, Mr. D.B. Hoyt of Columbus, Dodge Co. Wis. to Miss Ella Williams. The happy couple left for their future home on the 9 p.m. train of Wednesday. Died - Monday evening at his home in this city, James Dunning, aged 76.

The immigrants into the United States from principal foreign countries during the pest year numbered 560,196. On account of a light yield in Florida, three firms in San Francisco combined and secured nearly the total crop of oranges in Califomia. County News West Baltimore: Newton & Hook sawed in their saw mill on Friday af­ ternoon 94 ties and 400 feet of lumber. Freeport: Mr. J no. Feightner expects to make brick next summer.

Johnson has four other clergymen to help him along with his work to save those that are traveling on the wrong road. Assyria: Mr. John Gay has rented his farm to Mr. Potter for three years. Orangeville: The lyceum at Gun Lake is looming up in great shape. If reports are true, one might imagine that the spirits of Clay and Webster were hovering near. Henry Hewitt’s colt broke loose last week and ran away Results: a badly broken cutter, and the colt somewhat injured. Cedar Creek: “All is quiet” in and about Cedar Creek. The other day as Lewis Gesler was driving to Hastings with a load of ties, the load tipped over, and caught his overcoat. After un­ buttoning the same, he succeeded in extricating himself. Prairieville: Warren Eston has sold his house and lot for 1900. Mrs. L. M. Benjamin is failing, being confined to bed. Bowens Mills: E. Jones has moved his engines to Mr. Coman’s and will run a feed mill there. Nashville: Frank Brattin returned on Friday of last week from Ohio, where he has spent the last three or four weeks with relatives. C.B. Wood of Bellevue, agent of the Home Insurance Co., was in Nashville Tuesday. The Congregational Church of Nashville has just received a very handsome present of 51 hymn books, called “The Spiritual Songs”. The gift comes from I M. Prouty of Spencer. Mass., a personal friend of our pastor. Rev. A. Liver­ more. Mr. Prouty gave the money to Mr. L. to use as he saw fit. The gift will be highly appreciated by the members and congregation. Maple Grove: Ed Quick of Battle Creek is visiting friends here. Lacy: A company of about eighty persons surprised Hiram Stevens and wife last Friday evening for the pur­ pose of celebrating the 20th wedding day... (Editor’s note: it goes on to list the entertainment ; who gave what gifts and the types of food they ate. The article ended with “The host and hostess were so completely surprised they could not find words for ut­ terance.’’) Rutland: Locals (news) are scarce — reason, dull times and good behavior. Two tramps were taken to jail Monday night. One of them set fire to his bed determined to get out some way. Sheriff Cressey appeared before the latter and proceeded to mop the floor with his worthless carcass. Having sold out all my interest in the partnership of Wilkins & Hall, Mr. Hall will continue the business under the name of “The Hall Company" and will manufacture the fishing rods of the quality heretofore made by us and I most heartily recommend him to all our customers. Respectfully Yours, Jas. L. Wilkins. We saw one or two drunken chaps on the street Sunday. If there was not a status prohibiting dram shops from keeping open on the Sabbath, we might suspect that the B(ar)-hops got their "cold tea” in the saloons. Saloonkeepers wouldn't violate the laws, nor would the officials allow such infractions. Marshal Nims and Constable Maynard gathered in four interesting individuals Monday evening who seemed to have no visible means of support and were lounging around the streets of our little city. Just such fellows as those who put in the night in the cooler have been committing the most devilish crimes in other localities. They deserve the summary treatment they received. Ike Hendershott is improving the property he lately purchased of Dr. Upjohn on West Green St. When im­ provements are completed, Mr. Hendershott will have one of the finest places in the state.

The present one is one of the meanest in the state, absolutely unfit for a penal in­ stitution and a disgrace to the cniintv Hastings, local news: The question as to whether or not ladies have the right to vote for members of the Board of Education in this city was by the ladies submitted to Messr. Colgrove. Knappen and Niskern. The first two named are of the opinion that ladies have no legal right to vote for these offices, while Mr. Niskern is of the opinion they are. Notice: If your name is not on the list Saturday, you cannot vote Monday. There was a very large crowd of people in town Saturday night. n-~— .

The Cubs had an early 5-0 lead, then in the third inning the Tigers came back with sixteen runs to over power the Cubs. The winning pitcher for the Tigers was David Oom. the losing pitcher for the Cubs was Mike Garrett. The leading hitters for the Tigers were David Oom with a home run, and a double. Brad Warner with a triple, and a double. Bob Huver. and Derek Metzger each with a home run, and Mike Cisler, and Trent Weller each with a single.

Don Peabody, and Norm Jenkins get their tosses in during league oction last Tuesday night. The Moose league has 36 members and plays a 14-week schedule. Moose members enjoy horseshoes by Steve Vedder It would make for a dandy Light Beer Commercial. Bubba Smith and Dick B’.ikus march into a bar and announce they’re going to pitch a few horseshoes the next day. The audience, wondering why such masculine specimens of men would want to undertake an old man's game, cracks up. "Horseshoe pitching?" roars the audience until the two ex-football players turn and glare al the patrons. The bar suddenly becomes as quiet as Yankee Stadium in December. Such is the respect horseshoe pitching has acquired. Actually, horseshoe pitching is by no means an old man’s game, says Dennis Hubei, president of the Hastings Moose Horseshoe League. "People are ignorant if they say things like that," smiles Hubei, sipping on a cup of coffee. "They probably haven't ever played before." The Moose league, which began with 12 pitchers back in 1979, runs from May 1 to the middle of August. 11 features 18 teams and 36 pitchers and includes an “A” league for better players and a “B" league for lesser talented throwers. Six games are played by each foursomes, all of which are Moose members, with the winners being the first twosome to hit 21 points. A ringer counts for three points and a toss within six indies of the stake is one point. On this particular night at the Moose recreation area, located a few hundred yards off M-79, the pitchers are out in full force flinging their shoes. Ten pits are going at once, the Tiger game is blaring from a nearby radio, and, as usual when men gather, there is an abundance of small talk, gibes, and maybe even a beer or two. Hubei compares the horseshoe pitching to a pair of other recreation-type leagues. "It's a lot like golf or bowling,” he says. "In fact, a lot of the guys out here are in both of those.” Hubei is quick to spike the notion that horseshoe pitchers are all 65 years old with massive beer guts. It takes a certain amount of hand-to-eye coordination, which naturally Dennis Hubei throws a shoe during action in the Hastings Moose League earlier this week. diminishes as one gets older, to be suc­ cessful. Ages in the Hastings league range from 21 to 65 with the average age being close to 30. '1 Horseshoe pitching is not corny. 11 takes a lot of skill,” points out Hubei, who acknowledges that most people were probably taught the sport by fathers or grandfathers. “It’s like being a bowler who bowls one night a week. He could be good, but if you played in two or three leagues you’d probably be better.” "We have some real good players out here,” continues Hubei. "There are six to eight that are very good and a few new players that have come in." This Week in Outdoor Michigan General Outdoor Conditions: Finally received some much needed rain jesterday morning and again last night. Some pretty wild thunderstorms accompanied the latter and it sounds like we can expect more of the same in the next couple of days. Tem­ peratures are getting back to normal after this weekends coolness < highs were in the low 70's and lows in the 40’s). It is once again hot and muggy Fishing: On the big lake it has slowed down a bit. There is a two to three foot chop this morning and not much activity. At St Joseph a few kings taken in 200 feet of water has been about it. Perch success has slacked off quite a bit (Sunday was a banner day for perch both in boats and off the piers at this port). Saugatuck reports fair success for lake trout and salmon, fishing in 70-90 feel the bottom 15 feet. Coho have been running 5-8 pounds with an occasional 10 pounder. Chinook coming in at 8-15 pounds and every once in a while at 18-20 lbs. South port slammers. rattle snakes and chargers seem to be the preferred lures and J-plus proving good on salmon. Perch picking up a bit. South Haven ■ Perch success has been very good II has slowed down a bit with the stormy weather but should pick up again when things calm down. Some success for steelhead and lake trout Inland Fishing: Bass and bluegills have dropped off - we are into the dog days of summer. Fish are in deeper water and more difficult to catch. Some success for bass has been on artifical worms (purple); bluegills with wigglers and crawlers. Trout streams have been low and clear, better for fly fishing than bait fishing. Use has dropped off considerably but those good fishermen keeping with it are having good success. Trout lakes are producing good catches of rainbows in 15-25 feet. Walleye - Fisheries Division has completed their walleye project for this year. 191,218 fish were harvested from the Almena ponds and planted in various lakes in Allegan and Van Buren Counties as well as in the Kalamazoo and St. Joseph Rivers. Hunting: Bear season has been set for 1984. Zone 1 will be Sept. 10 through Oct. 31, then again from Nov. 15 through the 30th. Zone 2 is Sept. 10 through Sept. 19 then again Oct. 1 through Oct. 9 with bows only. Counties for zone 2 are the same as last year. A hunters safety class is being planned for Aug. 30th in Niles. 120 students will be taken (or this class. Contact David Hodgman, (684U914) for pre-registration. other Outdoor Shorts: Black cap berries are starling lo ripen. Some of the crop has done poorly due to the dry weather hut those on InwtT welter areas look pretty good Hubei says there are several different forms a horseshoe pitcher can possess with the two most popular being the "turn-theshoe" throw and the “flip-flop.” In both, the shoe must be held correctly with just the right amount of arc on either. A turn-the-shoe throw means the shoe rotates between three quarters and one and three quarters of a turn before striking the pit. A flip-flop toss turns once and lands. Hubei recommends hours and probably even years of practice before a pitcher can expect to acquire any talent. “If you want to be any good you have to practice,” he says. Bet’cha Bubba Smith and Dick Butkus would be good a throwing a shoe or two.

O Sports.. • at a glance by Steve Vedder Take this job and At best, the highest compliment is if nobody say8 a word t0 y°u- if nobody even notices you’re around. At worst, you could have a team of bat-wielding lunatics waiting to reshape your head when the ballgame is over. All in all, it's do way to earn a living. Umpiring a softball game is as much a no-win situation as being president. Whatever decision that is choosen may make a certain number of people happy, but by the same token, there will be another set of people looking to lift your scalp. Even if an umpire does his job right, makes the right calls, he Is liable to secure the rath of the opposing team. JimGoulooze and Tim Girrbach have been umpiring Hastings mens softball games for a number of years. They contend taking heat is just part of the job...to a certain point. "The players have a right to voice their opinions," says Girrbach. who'll probably umpire between 70 and 100 games this summer. “What 1 don’t like is when they keep harping on a call. Like, two innings later they’re still coming up to me complaining about IL” Goulooze admits nobody enjoys taking flak. "1 don’t like it, no,” he says. "But it doesn't get out of hand. We've been al it too long. There isn't that much of it, really." Goulooze says there is a marked difference between taking heat from accomplished players that realize a decent call from a poor one. and buf­ foon ballplayers who don't have the foggiest notion of the game's rules. A decent umpire, he says, can ac­ tually escape abuse by working games with higher quality teams. “The good teams know if you're hustling and ir you do that, you won't get the abuse." says Goulooze “The abuse I don't like is from the players *hat don't know what they re doing.'' Both men say it doesn’t necessarily bother them if either team bothers to congratulate them on a smartly um­ pired contest. All they want to see accomplished is a game where all the calls are made correctly and everybody goes home relatively happy. Even so, everybody that has any kind of a job would like a bone tossed their way every so often. It has a bother an umpire. "It does," says Girrbach. “You’re out there trying to do a good job. You know you’re not going to make all the right calls, but you’d like to hear something good every so often." • Goulooze agrees with his partner. He says it doesn’t hurt to hear a player admit the umpire made the right call or that he had a good game, just like a ballplayer. "A lot of times guys will come up to you and say you did a good job." he says. “When that comes from a losing team there's more satisfaction." The heat doesn’t even have lo come from the players, says Girrbach. He can name instances where somebody in the stands, somebody who knows nothing of the game, or at the least had a lesser angle on a call than the umpire, offers a criticism. "You can make a good cal), but you can hear some joker in the stands yell.ng at you," he says. "That’s no good. You know when you made a bad call." Experience, says the umpires, is largely what separates the quality umpires from the lesser ones. An quality umpire has been around the game, played it. and has knowledge of "I don't think there's any substitute," says Goulooze. "You can’t teach it." Hopefully it might even be enough to keep those crazies with the bat> a safe distance away �The Hastings Banner— Thursday. July 26. 1984.

Republican Primary • August 7 Local student attends orientation Hastings student Paula Atkinson was among the approximately 200 students who attended the tenth session of freshman orientation at Western Michigan University from July 16 through 18. About 2,400 prospective students attended one of 12 sessions at Western scheduled between June 26 and July 20. “Orientation is the key element in the admissions process,” said Raymond A. Passkiewicz, WMU director of orientation. “Orientation helps students fulfill all academic and non-academic requirements before the start of the actual school year.” Under the guidance of upper-class student leaders, prospective freshmen toured the WMU campus, registered for fall semester classes, met with academic advisors, took preliminary placement tests, finalized housing and financial aid arrangements and participated in social activities during the three-day session. Parents were invited to accompany their students to attend a one-day parent orien­ tation session. Classes for W'estern’s fall semester begin Wednesday, Aug. 29.

According to reports, the culprits vandalized the home, and wrote ob­ scenities and drew Nazi swasticas on the walls of the cottage. Taken were a number of household items, including a fire extinguisher, knives, tools, a flashlight, groceries and a BB pistol. Troopers are investigating a conction between that break-in, and one which occurred in the same vicinity on June 13.

Attorney Richard Quist, of Grand Rapids, who represents KAV-Co., said there is a possibility of the Kalamazoo-based con­ sortium of refuse haulers filing bankruptcy if fines and the cost of rehabilitating the 24year-old-site run too high. The state is seeking a court order forcing KAV-Co. to pay millions of dollars in fines and damages, and millions more to construct a water-proof clay cover over the landfill. The state is also suing for a specially designed well and treatment facility to purge groundwaters of potentially dangerous chemicals, which could cost millions more. Public responds to *Operation HEMP’ Barry County residents are responding favorably to "Operation HEMP", a concerted crackdown on marijuana growers orchestrated by the Michigan State Police, said LI. Richard Zimmerman, commander of the Hastings team. Zimmerman said his office has already received calls from "several" residents, including farmers, who have discovered the illicit weed growing in the wild. "The purpose of the operation is to stop marijuana at its source," said Zimmerman. "The department makes no distinction between the big time grower, and the individual with one or two plants in his backyard." State police say marijuana "is more than a harmless drug", and can have serious effects on perception and skilled performance. Drunk charges follow accident A Hastings man was arrested for drunk driving early Saturday morning, following an accident near Gun Lake which injured a 20-year-old Hastings woman. Stote police from the Hastings team say the accident occurred at the comer of Chief Noonday and Briggs Roads, at about 1:45 am. According to reports, both vehicles were eastbound when the accident occurred. Carla Owe). of Chief Noonday Rd., was taken Io Pennock Hospital after her car was reportedly rear-ended by a van driven by Robert James Taylor, 31, Center Street. Owel was treated for her injuries, and released. Witnesses told troopers that Taylor walked away from his vehicle after the accident. Police picked up Taylor a short distance away from the scene. According to reports, Taylor denied that he was involved in the accident, nor that the van belonged to him. Fire Chief Carls recovering Hastings Fire Chief Roger Caris is recovering from an injury to his leg received while cutting wood at his home Saturday. / According to friends. Caris was cutting wood when he swatted at a bee. The saw apparently came down on his leg. The cut, say friends, required 15 stitches to close. Caris' friends may send cards to the fire chief, care of the Hastings Fire Department. Police are busy this week trying to match stolen property to rightful owners. Here, Barry County Sheriff Department Detective Ken DeMott holds up a sterling silver vase, one of hundreds of Items recovered durino the Investigation of a burglary ring, which police say operated In four states Judge dismisses self in burglary case by Ken Reibei Barry County District Court Judge Gary Holman has disqualified himself from hearing the case of three Battle Creek men charged with the July 21 break-in of the Summit Steel warehouse on Railroad Street. The three are Bert Miner, 42, Danny Rae Carnes, 22. and Daniel Eugene Seller, 26. All three are charged with breaking and en­ tering of an unoccupied dwelling. Law eu forcement officers investigating the trio say they are part of a burglary ring that has operated in four states, and responsible for at least 18 break-ins in Barry County. Holman disqualified himself after bearing objections from attorneys, who said that information used by Holman to set the men's bond could be prejudicial. The information, prepared by the Barry County prosecutor’s office, said the men were part of a burglary ring, and further noted each man's criminal history, including that of defendant Miner, who has nine previous felony convictions. The information also carried a comment from an investigating detective, who said the defendants may skip bail if the amount was not set high. Barry County Prosecutor Judy Hughes 'took issue with the move for dismissal, stating “There is nothing in the report that can't be said again in court in the record.” She called the information appropriate to the setting of bond. The setting of a new exam date will be postponed until a new district court judge is appointed. That appointment will be made by Chief 56th District Court Judge Ken Hansen. At the request of Hastings Attorney Dave Dimmers, Holman lowered bond for defendant Carnes from $20,060 to $1,500, cash or surety. Miner's bond is $20,000, and Sellers' $10,000. Detective Burt Lardy of the Battle Creek Michigan State Police post, said it is not presently known how many burglaries can be linked to the ring. Lardy did say the number could "easily exceed" the 80 at­ tributed to a seven-county burglary ring recently broken up by Battle Creek state police. Four truckloads of household items were brought to Barry County last week, and put on display in a Quonset hut at the fairgrounds. Stories in the news media have drawn dozens of break-in victims from several counties to Barry County, all with hopes of recovering stolen property. More stolen property is being held by authorities in Calhoun County. Hastings City Police arrested the three in the early hours of July 21. while they were allegedly hauling scrap copper and brass from the Summit Steel warehouse. Hastings City Police Detective Dana Steidle said the trio had spent most of that week stealing scrap metal. The arrests followed a late night stake-out of the Summit warehouse. Following the arrests, law enforcement officers found about $15,000 worth of stolen property, including approximately 600 pounds of copper and brass, in a Battle Creek warehouse, said Steidle. Steidle said the trio is responsible for the Continued on page 12 “They just cleaned house...” Stolen goods, recovered by Michigan State Police following the arrests of three Battle Creek burglary suspects two weeks ago, include household Perns you ordinarily think wouldn’t interest a thief. Besides the usual cameras, tools, jewelry and silverware, police have recovered soap, lawn chairs, jars of honey and a Betty Crocker cookbook. “They just cleaned house," said one in­ vestigator close to the case. Other items recovered include Bic liters and Bic disposable shavers, telephones, a crockpot, cigars, Bibles, kitchen utensils, a Readers Digest Fix-it-Yourself Manual, a water softener, refrigerator, a ceiling fan, two rolls of Hi-Dri paper towels, a sewing kit, a Betty Crocker recipe box and recipe cards, a stadium blanket, a box of pennies and coin wrappers. Most banks give coin wrappers away free. As of Tuesday, anout a dozen victims had recovered property from the Quonset hut at the Barry County fairgrounds, which has taken on the appearance of a swap shop. Several of the victims came from as far away as Branch County. The state is represented by Assistant At­ torney General Tom Emery. Quist cited an Ohio case, in which a court ruled that "the obligation to clean up a landfill is dischargable in bankruptcy." "It’s totally wrong of the state to close the landfill down, and shut off the means of financing (the clean up),"said Quist Quist said the cost of the impermeable cover, to cap 65 acres with two feet of clay, could cost between $1.8 and $2 million. He said the material necessary would have to be shipped in from out of state. Both the defense and prosecution were given time by Barry-Eaton Circuit Court Judge Hudson E. Deming to file briefs with the court, after which Deming must pore Continued on page 2 ‘Microwave’ defendant pleads no-contest by Ken Reibei A woman charged with subjecting her infant daughter to microwave radiation pleaded no-contest to a charge of child neglect last Wednesday in Eaton County Circuit Court in Charlotte. Claudia Joyce Raynes, 33, of Fifth Ave., Lake Odessa, entered the plea before IoniaMontcalm County Circuit Judge Charles Simons, Jr. Simons was assigned to the case after Barry-Eaton Circuit Court Judge Hudson E. Deming was dismissed from the case earlier, at the request of Raynes’s at­ torney, William Mills, of Grand Rapids. No sentencing date has been set for Raynes. Barry County Assistant Prosecutor Dale Crowley said the date will depend on when Simons will next be able to travel to Charlotte. Crowley said his office has made no recommendation for sentence, and would waitto review the pre-sentence investigation report before doing so. That report is prepared by the Barry County Probation and Parole Department. The crime of child neglect is a felony, punishable by up to four years in prison, and-or a fine of $2,000. Crowley said that he is satisfied with the outcome of the case. A no-contest plea means the defendant chooses not tocontest the case, and the judge agrees to accept the plea and treat it as a plea of guilty. Judge Deming refused to accept a plea of guilty from Raynes in Feb.. 1983, after the woman told him the infant was mysteriously burned after placing it on an ironing board in front of the oven. Deming said he heard nothing in Raynes’s story to convince him that a crime had been committed. A month later, Deming refused to en­ tertain a no-contest plea from Raynes, based on the testimony he heard from her when she tried to plead guilty. Deming's decisions sparked appeals by both the prosecution and the defense, which sent the case to the Michigan Court of Ap­ peals, and the State Supreme Court. Both courts rejected the appeals. Raynes, the mother of two, turned herself into authorities following an investigation into the Oct. 31, 1982 incident. Although police said Raynes p.iced her baby inside a microwave oven, court documents only say she "did willfully, unlawfully, or neglectfully deprive said child of necessary food, shelter, protection, to wit: protection from microwave radiation." Doctors at a Grand Rapids hospital were forced to remove the infant's left hand, part of the right foot, and a section of intestines, as a result of the burns. The infant was placed in a foster home following the incident, but has since returned home, under the guidance of Barry County Probate Court. Raynes’s attorney said all reports about the family’s home life have been "glowing”. New plaque to mark Hastings Mutual building A new marker is being installed at the entrance to the Hastings Mutual Insurance Co. building, located in the Historic Village of Charlton Park, that will detail the history of the building. A ceremony unveiling the marker will take place Friday at 4 p.m. at the park. The marker reads: "In 1885, the Michigan Mutual Tornado. Cyclone and Windstorm Insurance Company was the first mutal windstorm company to be incorporated by the State of Michigan. By 1910, the Company was the largest of its kind in Michigan and the 2nd largest in the U.S. "Designed by James Waters, this struc­ ture built in 1908, originally stood in the City of Hastings. It was the Company's first home office building. Ten years later, the Com­ pany outgrew this structure, subsequently building larger facilities. “Hastings Mutual Insurance Company, in 1970. provided the funds to preserve and reconstruct the building on this site. It was rededicated in 1980." Charles Jol>nston, executive vice-president of Hastings Mutual, said that the company, which is celebrating its 160th anniversary, has received notification that it has been accepted as a registered state historical site. A historical marker will be placed in front of the firm's offices on East Woodlawn either later this year or in the spring, he said. The Michigan Historical Commission is expected to approve the wording of the historical marker at its August meeting. The tentative wording reads: “On April 5, 1885 The Michigan Mutual Tornado, Cyclone, and Windstorm Insurance Company became the first mutual wind­ storm company incorporated by the State of Michigan. Starling in a one-room office above Grant's store, the company occupied and outgrew five sites in Hastings. Locally the firm was called the Windstorm Com­ pany. while out-of-town, it was known as the Ifastings Company. In 1920, its name was formally changed to the Michigan Mutual Windstorm Insurance Company. On January 15. 1959. the company became a general mutual, taking the name. Hastings Mutual Insurance Company. Over the years, the firm has expanded to write policies for commercial, home and farm property, workers' compensation, automobile and marine insurance.” Johnston said that a banquet celebrating the 100th year of the company will be held at the Amway Grand Plaza in Grand Rapids on April 3. The Hastings Mutual Insurance Company’s first home office building is shown as it appeared at the corner of Jefferson and Center streets before it was moved to the Historic Village at Charlton Park. A new marker is to be unveiled at the entrance of the building in a ceremony Friday. �Page 2 The Hastings Banner — Thursday, August 2 1984 VIEWPOINT: Commentaries from our editorial staff and the community - Editorial: The Primary Election It may give your only choice Next week’s primary election brings us some hotly contested races (or both county and township offices and in many races the winner of the primary will win the office because no opponent is running from the other party. The primary election also signals a changing of the guard at the courthouse where Treasurer Elsie Furrow and Register of Deeds Howard Ferris are retiring' Republicans Mark A. Haines and Sandy Schondelmayer have waged aggressive campaigns fnr Ferris' post. Both candidates have experience in county govern­ ment. Whichever candidate wins, he will have the advantage of some early name recognition when facing Democrat Rosezetta M. McMellen in the November election. The other Republican primary for a county office pits incumbent Prosecutor Judy Hughes against Hastings attorney Kenneth J. Weller. Weller has waged a low-key campaign limited to some press releases and some public comments at the board of commissioners meeting. In her four years in office, Hughes has demonstrated an ability to tackle tough cases and win. While we don't always agree with her political philosophy, she has shown an interest in being prosecutor find not merely using the post as a stepping stone to a lucrative legal career. County Commissioner Rae M. Hoare, who represents Prairieville, Barry and portof Orangeville townships, is the only member of that board to face a primary. Her opponent is Harvey Knapp, a long-time resident of the county who has been active in union organizations and community groups in Kalamazoo. He has a good background of service. Hoare has demonstrated a dedication to her position matched by few other officeholders. She has also shown a clear ability to work with both Republicans and Democrats in pursuing her objectives in county government. Four Republican races for township supervisor and one Democratic race will decide who wins the posts because the winners will face no opposition in Novem­ ber. Those townships include Assyria. Baltimore, Hope and Maple Grove for the Democrats a-.d Orangeville for the Republicans. The Assyria Township race is particularly interesting because former Supervisor and county Commissioner Jack Love is trying to unseat incumbent Larry Carpenter. Finally, the entire county will have the opportunity to vote on a proposal to fix the millage allocation for a period of six years. The proposal will not raise local taxes. Following this editorial is a guest commentary from county Clerk Norvai Thaler, who favors the change. Primary elections typically have not generated much voter interest, bringing out only the most dedicated voters and party followers. This election, however will have as much effect on the direction of local and county government and the November election. We urge you to cast your ballots in your local election. New teachers, principal expected to be hired by Norma Acker The Hastings Board of Education will be asked to approve the hiring of six new teachers and two administrators at its August 27 meeting. Dr. Earl Newman, director of educational services, said that the six teachers were selected from nearly 200 applicants. Superintendent Carl A. Schoessel will recommend that high school social studies teacher LaVeme BeBeau will be hired as an assistant principal for the secondary schools. BeBeau has been with Hastings schools since 1963. He received a bachelor’s degree from the University of Alabama and a master's degree from the University of Kansas. Christopher Warren is being recom­ mended for principal of Southeastern Elementary School. He is from Yale. Mi. where he was principal of two elementary schools, kindergarten through sixth grade, and was responsible for 472 students and 20 teachers. Warren has also been an elementary principal at Morley and at Pine River Schools in Leroy and was a teacher in Charlotte. He received his bachelor's degree from Olivet, a master’s degree in education administration from the University of Michigan and has a specialists degree in education administration from Michigan State University. New teachers being recommended in­ clude: — Ann DeHoog of Woodland for junior high art and vocal music. She is a graduate of Western Michigan University and has teaching experience at Lakewood and Ionia schools, working at the elementary and high school level. She has been involved in community education and has worked for the Ionia County Intermedipte School District. Before accepting the position in Hastings, DeHoog worked at the Shiloh Country School. — Norma LaMotte for junior high math and English. She graduated from Central Frozen millage to save tax dollars voters defeated the proposal each time. In both of these proposals, the request was for more than 15 mills. On August 7, the voters will again have a chance to vote on fixed millage, however this time it will be for only the 15 mills which are presently being levied. The advantages of such action are several. One of the most important is that it saves tax dollars. Without the so-called “frozen millage", a Tax Allocation Board, consisting of eight people. m«3t be appointed each year. The board meets at least three times and attempts to agree on how the 15 mill tax will be divided between the county, the townships and the schools; who in turn must wait until the result is known to prepare their budgets. The members of the Allocation Board must be paid per diem and expenses. Their appointment, the record of their meetings and decisions, all must be recorded in conformance with the law. This is a costly procedure: $868.85 was spent in 1984. In addition, the sum result of their decision is often questioned. Neither, the county, the townships, or the schools are entirely satisfied because their needs are always greater than their share, no matter how the 15-mills are divided. The Allocation Board can only attempt to allocate in a mutual agreement on priority, with full knowledge of futility and waste of their time. In the nine years I have served as clerk of the Allocation Board, there have been many discussions, sometimes rather heated, as to how the 15 mills should be diviaed and the allocation has always ended up the same as it will appear on the ballot in August. Fortunately the law provides an alternative to this expensive waste of time and tax money Upon voting approval of the people, the division of the 15 mill tax. once established by the Allocation Board, can be frozen for a period of determined years. The law also provides for the people to cancel the action at any time if conditions warrant. The ballot proposal would freeze the millage for the years 1985 through 1990 inclusive or until altered by the voters. In summary, you should be aware that this ballot proposal WILL NOT IN­ CREASE YOUR TAXES. It is financially beneficial to us all to vote YES and pass the County Tax Limitation Proposal on August 7.

Deming sent a 19-year-old burglar to prison for 10 to 15 years Friday, the maximum sentence for the crime of breaking and entering of an occupied dwelling. Tyrone Trout, 19, of Richland, will initially serve his time at the Riverside Correctional Facility in Ionia. He was found guilty of the Jan. 7 break-in of Wabascon Rd. home during a jury trial in Barry County Circuit Court July 9. Two days later, the same jury found Trout guilty being an habitual offender. Trout pleaded guilty in 1983 to a charge of larceny in a building. Under Michigan law, habitual criminals can have their sentence increased by half. Police said Trout was a member of a burglary ring that stretched across five to eight counties, and responsible for over 80 break-ins. Al Vanderlaan, Barry County assistant prosecutor, asked Judge Deming to send Trout to prison for a period of 15 to 22^ years, as provided by the habitual offender statute. Vanderlaan said the seriousness of the crime, the trauma inflicted on the vic­ tims, and the (act that Trout had "failed to show remorse" for his deed all warranted more prison time. Using a newspaper obituary as a guide, Trout and two other men planned the burglary as the victim attended the funeral of her husband. In other court proceedings: Timothy Thad Roscoe, 25, Freeport received one year in jail for striking a Hastings City Police officer, and 90 days in jail for assault and battery. Prosecutors had recommended a year sentence for Roscoe. Prior to sentencing, Roscoe's attorney noted that his client had a drinking problem, and asked that Roscoe receive help for the problem, and only spend six months in jail. Judge Demind replied "It is my un­ derstanding that they don’t have any alcohol at the Barry County Jall...I will relieve you of alcohol for the next year." Roscoe received 46 days for time already spent behind bars His sentences are to run concurrently. James Robert Beary, 35, Long Lake Dr., Cloverdale, was sentenced to three years probation and two months in jail for carrying a pistol in a motor vehicle. "Weapons are bad, bad pieces of machinery, and you're not supposed to carry them in Michigan without a permit," noted Judge Deming. Deming told Beary to appear at the jail September 15, as his wife is expecting a child in August Beary was also given work release from the jail. .^yd en WiIson- Jt., 17, Burlington, stood mute to a felony charge of unlawfully driving away a motor vehicle.

PUBLIC OPINION The Michigan Constitution generally permits a property tax levy of 15 mills, and additional mills if approved by the voters. It is the first J5 mills we are concerned about in the tax allocation ballot proposal. It is the purpose of the Tax AUocation Board to allocate, divide or apportion the 15 mills between local governments which depend on this millage for their operation.

August 2,1984, Page 3 Hastings BPW offering two $150 scholarships for fall term Community organizations give funds for ramp at library Because of a united effort by six organizations in Hastings, the city’s public library will soon be more accessible to the handicapped. Contributions totalling $2,425 have been pledged by the six service clubs to Guild a wooden ramp to accommodate the han­ dicapped on the east (rear) side of the Hastings Public Library. Construction of the ramp is expected to be completed in Sep­ tember. Donating funds for the project are the Hastings Women's Club, Kiwanis Club of Hastings. Hastings Rotary Club, Hastings Lions Club, Hastings Jaycees, and the Hastings chapter of Business and Professional Women. The ramp project has been spearheaded by the Hastings Women's Club which an­ nounced its initial $800 contribution in April. After that, representatives of the women's club cganized a meeting with members of other service clubs in Hastings to interest them in supporting the project. The women's club decided to spearhead the project because the focus of its national organization, the National Federation of Women’s Clubs, has been geared to promoting an awareness of the needs of the handicapped, said Ruth Miller, outgoing president of the local club who serves as the chairman of the ramp fundraising com­ mittee. Currently, she said, “there’s noway for the handicapped to get into the library and the ramp will give them that access." The ramp will run north and south along the back of the building and the landing will he buil*. to coincide with the back door. Because the library building is owned by the city of Hastings, city employees will do the construction work.

There are four types of mosquito-carried en­ cephalitis usually en­ countered in the United Slates: St. Louis, California, Eastern equine and Western equine. All four types have been identified in Michigan; so far, only the first two have been transmitted to people in the state St. Louis encephalitis was identified for the first time in Michigan in the summer of 1975, when 93 people were identified as having the infection — three died. At the present time, controlling these types of encephalitis in Michigan is a matter of controlling mosquitos that transmit the disease. Effective mosquito control requires abatement measures covering city and county wide areas, but you can also do a number of things during the mosquito season to control the number of mosquitos in and around the immediate vicinity of your home. Health officials suggest the following steps: — Get rid of all un­ necessary items in your yard that hold water. Old tires, inused automobiles, auto parts and kitchen ap­ pliances, tin cans, buckets, drums, bottles, and other water-holding containers make ideal breeding sites for mosquitos. — Fill in or drain any low places in your yard where water stands. Any low place where water stands for more than a week should be filled or drained. Drainage tiles can be installed to prevent the ponding or puddling of water. Drains at the edge of your property should be kept clean of vegetation and trash so water will drain properly. — Repair leaky pipes and outside faucets. Be sure to move trailer drain hoses often enough to prevent pooling of water. — Change the water in bird baths and plant pots at least once a week. Empty and refill watering pans for pets every day. Remove standing waer from outdoor planters and plant pots. — Empty your child's plastic wading pool at least one a week and store in inors when not in use.

Primary has four candidates: Drawing distinctions between himself and the other candidates, Allbritten said that he has put his positions on all of the con­ troversial issues in his literature. He said that people can figure out quickly where he stands, where some of the other candidates are not putting things in writing. "They're having puff piecer, they’re doing TV, they're putting up the big billboards,” he said. "Maybe I’m a little bit envious because 1 don't have the bucks to do that. But they’re not coming out with their positions." Allbritten said that he is one of the few urban Republicans in the nation and that is why he got an appointment with the Reagan adminstration. He said that some of the programs that work on the community level cannot work on the federal level and that is why he is ad­ vocating returning control to local com­ munities. Doublestein advocates change in attitude toward government Jordan College administrator Greg Doublestein. 32, seeks a change in people's attitude toward government in his race for the Fifth District Republican nomination. He says that people huve an attitude of "the world owes me" and government should have a solution to all problems. This attitude hn«s led to a disrespect for authority, the creation of support systems and programs to protect individuals from having to bear the consequences of their actions or inaction and degraded the value of human life A former legislative assistant to U.S. Senator Mark O. Hatfield of Oregon, Doublestein was a congressional liaison officer at the Department of Health and Human Services before taking his current position as dean of administration and student services at Jordan College in Cedar Springs. A Grand Rapids native, he received a bachelor’s degree from Albion College in 1974 and earned a master's degree at Johns Hopkins School of Advanced International Studies in Washington, D.C. in 1979. He favors a balanced budget requirement for the federal government and advocates welfare programs based on a “needs test” for short term emergencies rather than on an entitlement basis. Doublestein opposes short-term "make work" solutions to unemployment problems, but says that the federal government does have an interest in encouraging private sector economic development, subsidizing training and retraining of the unemployed and rebuilding the nation's public in­ frastructure. He also advocates targeting student loan programs to areas where employment op­ portunities will exist or are targeted to exist. "Sufficiency, not superiority, ought to be the goal of military planning,” Doublestein says. He also advocates a verifiable and bilateral reduction in nuclear weapons by the United States and the Soviet Union. “A comprehensive, mutually agreed upon ban of al nuclear weapons testing would go a long way toward reducing the risk of nuclear war and should be a top priority in bringing about an end to the nuclear Arms race,” he says. Albritten draws distinction among other candidates Drew Albritten, 37, seeking to separate himself from the other candidates for Congress in the Fifth District, said that if voters want experience with the stale government, they should vote for Paul Henry. If they want experience with the federal government, they should vote for him, he continued, -Jid if they want no government experience at all, they should vote for Keary Sawyer. A former state representative from Grand Rapids, he resigned a position with the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) to seek the Republican nomination in the Fifth District With HUD, he was involved in policymaking and in­ tergovernmental relations. Choose Allbritten contends that he states his positions clearly, so that people will know how he will vote as a congressman, while other candidates are not making their positions clear. Allbritten said that be favors tax reduc­ tions, and is against the growth of the federal government and deficit spending by Congress. "We have a federal government that doesn't follow its Constitution," he said. “There are certain responsibilities that the federal government has....What we end up with now is a special interest government that tries to take away a lot of the respon­ sibilities that the state and local com­ munities have, as well as the private sector."

"Billions have been spent. Educational scores...have gone down,” he said. “Business still has to retrain, reeducate high school and college graduates. What are we doing wrong?" He said that education is the responsibility of the states and a local and parental responsibility. Allbritten worked for 12 years at Grand Rapids Junior College as an administrator. He received a bachelor’s degree in 1968, a master’s degree in 1970, a specialists degree in 1977 and a doctorate in 1982, all dealing with education. The candidate said that he advocates block grants for giving money from the federal government to local government, rather than giving money in formula requirer.ients. He said that many states already have mechanisms to handle block grants instead of having them handled by federal bureaucrats. “What do we do about the people who we've made junkies out of," he said. "We've made people so dependent on federal government that we do need some sort of a phase-in program for...cutbacks.” He said many of the programs of the federal government that help people should be done through charities, the private sector and the churches. Churches, he said, have allowed the federal government to do many of the responsibilities that are Christian responsibilities. Allbritten said that HUD cut back 25 percent of its staff, but is serving more people. The department now is trying to get the private sector more involved in govern­ ment housing, rather than just having the federal government build a building when private apartments and homes are available for rent. “There's a lot of money to be had in the poverty industry,” he continued. “The poverty industry Is one of the most powerful industries in America today because it has to keep poor people poor... Once you're on welfare, you can’t get out.” Discussing the federal defense budget, Allbritten said that he advocates “peace through strength”, which means "a strong and efficient military.” He said that sipports the Reagan ad­ ministration's strong military concept, but the defense budget has a lot of waste in it “We have to deal with that separately,” he said. “We need an inspector general (in the Defense Department) to go through some of those things and we need competitive bid­ ding rather than sweetheart contracts. In terms of weapons systems, we need that offensive and defensive mix, but at the same time there is a lot of waste." He said that competitive bidding would allow Michigan to compete for contracts and jobs. He said if the state can’t compete, that is its own problem, but the state deserves a chance to fail. On the issue of gun control, Allbritten said that the Second Amendment to the Con­ stitution should not be weakened and that people have a right to bear arms. "Let's do what we do in Michigan across the country, where we put in a two year mandatory sentence for people who commit crimes with guns," he said. “Let's actually deal with the person who violates the law. Let’s not punish the person who is a sport­ sman, who is following the laws and respecting the rights and property of others."

Allbritten also supports the Human Life Amendment and received endorsements from several anti-abortion groups. He said that he will not change his positions on issues to get endorsements from special interest groups. Allbritten views himself as the most conservate of the three top contenders for the Fifth District Republican nomination. "Keary Sawyer will say, ‘I want to bring more tax dollars into western Michigan’," Allbitten continued. "My reply to that one is that if every congressman has that men­ tality, we don’t reduce the deficit. I don't want to bring more tax dollars back into western Michigan. I wart to make sure that tax dollars stay in western Michigan. Then we don’t have to fight for them." Jobs, government spending are focus of Sawyer campaign Keary Sawyer has focused his campaign for the 5th Congressional District seat on improving the job market and business climate in the area, solving the problem of the federal budget deficit and overhauling the U.S. criminal laws. The 33-year-old Grand Rapids resident is attempting to succeed his father, Hal Sawyer, who has held the seat for the past eight years. Sawyer is an attorney at the firm of Timmons and Sawyer, which he formed recently after leaving the firm of Murphy, Burns, McInerney and Sawyer. He graduated from the University of Colorado in 1973 with a major in political science and business. He earned his law degree from Vermont Law School in 1978. Since returning to the Grand Rapids area, be has served for four years on the executive committee of the Kent County Republican Party, as a member of the board of directors of the West Michigan Environmental Action Council for two years and in various fun­ draising activities. He is a member of the Negligence Section of Michigan State Bar, the Grand Rapids Bar, the National Bar Association and the Michigan Trail Lawyers Association. “Over the last several years, both as an attorney and as a result of my involvement in two Congressional campaigns, I have had the opportunity to meet with people all over this district," Sawyer said, in discussing his candidacy. "I have listened to their problems and have shared their concerns. "People of this district work hard," he noted, "pay their taxes and ask little in return, but they deserve and expect an even break. What that means is a meaningful job, the ability to buy a home of their own, safe neighborhoods, quality education for their children, and a comfortable and secure retirment." Sawyer said that his campaign is "highlighted by a four-letter word— jobs”. “New job opportunities must be our number one priority," he said. “To ac­ complish this, we must attract new business to our area and improve the business climate in western Michigan. “Additionally, there is no other way to say it, but that Michigan has been getting the shaft from the federal government. As we are all painfully aware, the state ranks 48th in the receipt of per capita federral grants and payments, 24 percent less than the national average. Clearly this situation must be reversed.” Sawyer also emphasized the need to reduce and eliminate “the problem of huge budget deficits". “By tolerating large budget deficits we are mortgaging our children's future," he said, adding that we are "inviting the onset of further inflation and insuring an increase in interest rates." Sawyer has proposed a six-point plan to solve the deficit problem— a consititutional amendment mandating a balanced budget, presidential line i|^m veto power, tax reform, a comprehensive review of en­ titlement programs, elimination of waste and inefficiency, and a strong but efficient defense. “I strongly support an amendment to the constitution which would mandate a balanced federal budget each year," he said. "The national debt is currently $1.52 trillion. Last year we paid $128.6 billion in interest on KEARY SAWYER the debt which is the third largest ex­ penditure in the federal budget behind defense and social programs. We must stop spending more than we have." Supporting the power for the president to veto line items. Sawyer noted that under current law he is faced “with only two un­ pleasant options when unacceptably large appropriations bills land on his desk"— accept them in their entirety or shut down goverment operations by vetoing the bill. "No middle ground is available," he pointed out. "This proposal would permit the president to reject individual items from congressional appropriations bills to help bring down deficits." Sawyer said. "This authority could be granted by a consitutional amendment or by legislation passed by Congress. Either approach would allow Congress to override any veto by two-thirds votes or some other majority." He noted that 43 states now grant their governors this power, including Michigan. Sawyer also feds that the entire tax code needs to be simplified “to make the system fair to all". “I am also strongly in favor of tax indexing which is scheduled to go into effect this January,” he said. "Presently, without in­ dexing, a worker receiving a cost-of-living raise gets pushed up into higher and higher tax brackets each year. As a result, workers are forced to pay higher marginal and average tax rates, without any real increase in earnings. I am also opposed to any freeze of tax reductions already scheduled to take effect. Such a freeze would result in a tax increase of $138.7 billion through fiscal year 1988. Most of these higher taxes would not only fall on the average working taxpayer, but a substantial portion would be absorbed by small businesses, family farms, and anyone who saves." Sawyer additionally stressed the need to curtail domestic spending, starting with a review of the various entitlement programs. “From the days of the Kennedy Ad­ ministration in 1962 through today, the rate of growth for domestic programs has in­ creased by more than $400 billion," be noted. "A total review of the manner in which en­ titlement programs are indexed to inflation must be conducted. Present indexing raises the question of whether the current method isn’t an inflation engine of its own. THE MICHIGAN FARM BUREAU ENDORSES STATE SENATOR PAUL HENRY. HenrY Republican for Congress Paid lor by henry tor Congress Committee "We cannot in any way alter our com­ mitment to social security and its recipients who have worked their entire lives and depend on this program." he said. “I do recommend that the social security system be removed from the ‘unified’ federal budget and be established as an independent agency." Sawyer added that the "greatest hope for reducing the cost of entitlement programs rests with improved economic activity". “In basic economic terms," he said, "when business activity increases, the budget gap between revenues and ex­ penditures is closed automatically. This is the result of less demand on need-based entitlement programs, services for the poor and unemployed, as well as increased tax revenues created by increased personal and business income." Sawyer also feels that money can be saved by the federal government through "agressive" efforts to eliminate waste and inefficiency in all areas of operation. He pointed to the Grace Commission study, a two-year survey done by the Reagan ad­ ministration on ways of cutting costs and enhancing revenues in the government. "The commission has recommended measures which would save $424 billion over the next three years," he said. "The 2,478 cost-cutting, revenue-enhancing recom­ mendations that were made can be achieved without raising taxes, without weakening America’s needed defense build-up and without in any way harming necessary programs." On the issue of defense, Sawyer said that United States military preparedness is seriously deficient and in need of strengthening after long term neglect end subsequent disillusionment with American military involvement aboard. “The first order of priority for the military is to achieve and maintain a technological edge," he said. “This should be encouraged. There is also a great need to find the mpst cost effective and efficient way possible to expend defense department funds in order to eliminate waste, fraud, and abuse. "Defense department procurement procedures need scrutiny,” he added. "The major problem in this area is the sharply escalating coslof overruns of major weapons systems and spare parts procurement problems. One of the key solutions to reducing overruns is more competitive bidding. We need to inject more competition into procurement through greater use of dual sourcing and competitive spare parts pur­ chases.” Sawyer said there was also a need to "examine our troop commitment aboard". "Each year," he said, “the United States spends billions of dollars on defense and a large amount of that goes for maintaining troops and equipment abroad As we connue to provide protection for Western Europe and Japan, these nations build up their economies and in turn compete with us in the foreign marketplace. In light of the fact that our economy is slowly recovering, it is high time that these countries take over responsibility for their own defenses and not depend on the U.S. for their protection." He also expressed support for calling on both the US. and Japan to exert maximum efforts to resist Soviet challenges to security and democracy in Asia and for Japan to make a greater contribution to its own defense by increasing its defense ex­ penditures. Sawyer has also called for "a massive overhaul of U.S. criminal laws". "We need to bring federal leadership to our fight against crime," he said. He listed 10 areas that he fe>» needed ad­ dressing— prison improvement, bail reform, modification of the exclusionary rule, crack­ down on drug trafficking, reform of the in­ sanity defense, victim’s assistance, justice assistance, balanced law enforcement resources, and miscellaneous criminal law reforms. “The congress has failed to pass a meaningful revision, of criminal laws in the last 14 years," he said. "As a result of this long period of neglect many laws have become outdated <md fail to deter criminal activity. The federal government and our next congressman has a duty to lead by example and begin the process of sub­ stantially reforming our nation's criminal law in these 10 areas.” He added that a proposal for “Truth in Sentencing" is his top priority in this area. "The release of habitual and dangerous criminals back into society where they continue to commit acts of violence against our citizens is an outrage,” he said. His proposal calls for fixed sentencing with punishment based on the crime and the nature of the criminal offender, prison terms of inflexible length served to full term, elimination of early release on parole or good time and elimination of parole boards.

Ml 49060 �The Hastings Banner — Thursday, August 2,1984 — Page 7 3rd District race McGregor eyes Third District seat in Congress JACKIE McGREGOR Praising Ronald Reagan and denouncing the voting patterns of Rep. Howard Wolpe, D-Delta Township, are two of the keys to Jackie McGregor's campaign for the Republican nomination for Congress in the Third District. McGregor, 45, also of Delta Township near Lansing is seeking the Republican nomination against Marvin Lightvoet of Hickory Corners in the Aug. 7 primary. The Third District includes the southern eight townships of Barry County. McGregor was elected as the first vicechairman of the Michigan Republican Party in 1983. Since 1982, she has been serving as a member of the federal Intergovernmental Advisory Council on Education, a panel charged with recommending to President Ronald Reagan the steps necessary to im­ plement the suggestions of “A Nation At Risk", a report on the condition of education in the United States released last year. A high school teacher for 18 years in the Upper Pennisula, and a school board member for 12 years, she was the Eleventh District chairman for the 1980 Reagan-Bush campaign. "1 think that the number one thing is that the people-of the Third District don't have someone representing them who can solve their problems, but rather they have someone who is causing their problems," she said. McGregor said that in the 50 years that Democrats have held a majority in the United States House of Representatives, Republican presidents have been unable to implement significant reforms because of Congressional opposition. “The power to tax and the power to spend remain in Democratic hands,” McGregor said. “It's a hard concept to get across to the people because people tend to blame the president or the leader of a nation for not having enough money in their pockets or for having to pay too many taxes. But really in our Federal Government, the president doesn't spend a dime, the president only recommends. It's the Congress that spends and it's Congress that taxes." McGregor criticized Wolpe’s vote against Reagan's 25 percent income tax cut and his vote against a balanced budget amendment. "The best restraint (on government spending) is the restraint of a balanced budget." she said. “All of us in this district, whether we have businesses or households...operate on a budget and we dare not go over the budget too often....We can’t con­ sistently spend and spend and spend and then strap ourselves just trying to pay back the interest." McGregor said that she not only supports the balanced budget amendment to the Constitution, but also favors the line item veto cal led for in Reagan's State of the Union message this year. "This is where the Congress has had the president over a barrel on these big spending bills," she said. "This congressman or that congressman would tack on a spending measure — they will tack on four or five or six or seven or ten of them, these porkbarrel measures or whatever they are — and send the bill over to the president. If the president vetos an entire bill, in many cases this nation would be in the dark at nine o'clock at night, so to speak." “1 believe in this Republican president. I believe in the reforms that he wants to in­ stitute. I believe in cutting out the abuses in government. I believe in people paying fewer taxes. But I know that as long as we have a big spending Congress, no president is going to be able to create the quality of life that we're looking forward to in America and that we deserve." McGregor also is supportive of Reagan's defense buildiqj, which she says is an effort to insure peace through strength and deference. "The ether thing in defense that absolutely intrigues me, and I support the president on this, is the non-nuclear satellite defense system, which he advocates," she continued. "The unknown in this system is the cost, but certainly America has the technology available to start such a program. The greatest thing about this is that it is non­ nuclear. No lives would be expended in defending America if this system could be pul in place. So I’m very supportive of this system." "The proponents of this system say that 90 to 95 percent of incoming warheads would be slopped without any loss of life, which is phenomenal. The opponents of this system say that only 50 or 55 percent of incoming warheads would be destroyed. I say, what's wrong with that." McGregor defends the Reagan ad­ ministration's moves in education, which she says are removing the federal government from interforring in education. She also contends that the Reagan administration is spending more money on education than in previous budgets, but is restructuring how the money is spent. "One specific example — let me talk about the Pell grants,” she said.'These are outright grants to those students who could not ever afford to get through a university without direct help that they do not have to pay back. Those Pell grants ar« being...advocated by this administration to be increased to $3,000 per student. "Here’s the sensitivity of the Reagan administration to our students. They're saying, let's really help the kids who could never get through college. If we give them $1,500, they still have to go out and get a job and do this and do that and maybe they are not going to make it. Let’s find these kids that really need money and lets give them a grant of substantia], significant size so that they can be successful " McGregor said that the money to pay for the increased grants will be taken from money available to middle and high-middle income students, which she supports. She also said that an important part of Reagan's education program, which has shown up in hearings of the In­ tergovernmental Commission has been a shift of responsibilities back to states and localities. This has also led, she said, to better partnerships between schools, parent groups, community organizations and business as they decide hew to set priorities for spending money and dealing with educational responsibilities. Lightvoet makes new try for Congress Marvin Lightvoet, a Hickory Corners building contractor, is making another run for Congress, facing Jackie McGregor of Delta Township in the Republican primary. Lightvoet, 61, ran as a Republican write-in in 1968 and 1970 and as an American In­ dependent Party candidate in 1972 and 1974. He advocates no gun control, getting the United States out of the United Nations, auditing or abolishing the Federal Reserve system, stopping foreign aid and removing the government from education and religion. He also is against the nuclear freeze movement and advocates capita) punish­ ment. A Kalamazoo native, he graduated from Kalamazoo Central High School in 1941. After serving in the U.S. Naval Reserve during World Wr II, be received a bachelor's degree in physics from Western Michigan University. Lightvoet contends that the Federal Reserve system should be held accountable for its actions and that the money ought to be in control of Congress. He also says that the U.S. should get out of the United Nations because it is not serving us and we give billions of dollars to countries that do not support us. 5th Congressional race Henry says experience /s his key to candidacy Asked what he secs as the main emphasis of his campaigh, Paul Henry cites his own "practical and professional experience" and a necessity to continue to current road to economic recovery. The 42-year-old Grand Rapids resident is the current state senator from the 32nd District, a post he was elected to in the 1982 election. Prior to that he served four years in the state house of representatives, was appointed to the state board of education in 1975 and served for four years, and was a professor at Calvin College for nine years. Politically he was a member of the congressional staff of Representative John Anderson in 1968-69, then later on served two years as secretary to the Kent County Republican Committee, two years as chairman of the Kent County Republican Committee, add two years as chairman of the 5th District Republican Committee. "At this point in the campaign, with the primary” Henry said, “my main goal is to establish myself as a viable candidate who has experience both in the party structure and in public service. In that sense I think I’m uniquely qualified.” "I think everyone agrees to the major issue," Henry added. "The whole issue of the economy is so overriding.” Henry pointed out though that making Michigan viable economically can not "all be resolved naticyially". "Much of the problem (in the state) is due to local-state laws which quite frankly are not constructively encouraging business activity," he explained. "When we have a recession we talk about the problem, but, when we pull oot, we tend to forget 1L" Henry said he see three main areas that continue to affect business in the state­ workman’s compensation, unemployment compensation, and the single business tax­ adding that, as a state legislator, he has been seeking to improve conditions (for the business community). “I’ve been Active in reforms in each of those areas and (I feel) we have made substantive progress,” he said. "I’ve been active in workman’s comp reform, played a very pivotal role in the *81 and ’82 reforms which got co-ordination of benefits for the first time in Michigan. I’ve played a very active role in unemployment compensation reform, primarily in the elimination of minimums where people were getting benefits exceeding what they were getting when they were working.” In area of the single ousiness tax, Henry noted, there's been "some marginal im­ provement". . "T.je basic problem (with the single business tax) is not so much the rate of taxation, but what you're taxing," he said. "You’re taxing the business activity, the venture, rather than the profit. We're taxing the effort rather than the success That's not so bad for large business, particularly in a good economicyear, but for a small business " it can be hard.” Henry noted that, while improving local economic conditions was important, nationally there are other conditions that need to be tackled, conditions "that have a particular impact on Michigan”. "The largest factor (affecting Michigan) would be interest rates and containing their increase," be said, "then you get into the deficit issue and I think that is clearly a major one. There’s no doubt that President Reagan has done a marvellous job in economic recovery and in getting interest rates down from where they were. "Everyone is very, very concerned now that they’re Aching back up,” he added. "Because of our traditional (automotive) industrial base in Michigan, as well as our agricultural industry, we're tremendously intra-sensitive about those rising rates." An offshoot of that, he said, it the issue of trade protection. “One of the key issues is the call for a trade policy that seeks protection (through import quotas) for the industrial sector.” he said. “However, this could potentially create a trade war that would be tremendously harmful to the agricultural economy in this state."

Ml. 49058 “There's no doubt that in both the Carter and Ford years we had backed off to a point that a technological gap existed,” he said. “I'm not happy about it (the high defense budget), but I view it as necessary. I have (however) expressed concerns about the repetitiveness and intensity of the build-up. I question whether any arm of government can absorb that much increase in ex­ penditures wisely and efficiently. But in terms of the direction, of rebuilding and re­ establishing defense capability, I support that." PAUL HENRY said he was opposed tu the solution of raising taxes. “I supported the Reagan tax cuts," he said. "1 think they were good. I think they played a profound role in the economic recovery." Henry said that he would rather allow the recovery to continue, adding that he felt this, in part, could eliminate the deficit "The question is ‘do you raise taxes or do you risk letting the recovery take care of the situation’,” he pointed out. "Some people are afraid that, if you let that deficit continue without raising taxes, your interest rates will go up, home buidling then goes down, agriculture suffers, durable goods suffer, and so on. “But, for example,” be said, "if you were to have another three percent drop in unemployment (because of a strong economy), you would cut the deficit in half." "I’d much rather take that gamble of restored incentives to the free market, believing that continued recovery is going to close the deficit gap," he said. "The deficits month by month this year have been sub­ stantially lower than the month by month deficits last year. A recovery does two things— it improves your revenue flow into the government and it lessens the demands on money flowing ouL I think the whole at­ titude of allowing commerce to continue to expand its activity and, thus benefit from increased employment, is the first thing we want to pursue." Henry noted that he wished to couple that concept of recovery with efforts to restrain government spending, a second factor that he felt could solve the deficit situation. He pointed to the Grace Commission, a two-year study done by the Reagan ad­ ministration on ‘how’ the federal govern­ ment spends its money and ‘ways* to do it more efficiently. "The Grace Commission outlined $500 billion in savings just from a business management point of view,” he said, "some of which are simple in that they don’t involve taking away from anything, but simply in­ volve doing things better. For example, the study showed that in the federal govern­ ment’s debt collection efforts, it makes only around two or three attempts at recovering on a bad loan The private sector, on the other hand, averages 24 to 28 collection calls. The commission study estimated that we’d save $4 billion a year just on improved bad debt collection efforts. "The study found that 50 percent of the computers used by the federal government are so old that they are no longer even ser­ viced by their manufacturers,” he added. "They estimated there could be a $25 billion savings alone in upgrading the computers and in improving and reforming data collection and processing. You have to un­ derstand the importance of computers by realizing the amount of paperwork that's done on such things as medicare, social security, veterans benefits and so on. “If you acted on just 20 percent of the Grace Commission's recommendations and if you havd a three percent improvement on employment, you’ve eliminated the deficit like that," Henry said. On the question of cutting from the defense budget as a means of restraining spending, Henry said that he "supported Reagan’s increases in defense spending and continues On the question of reforming entitlement programs as a means of restraining government spending, Henry feels the situation with social security has been solved for the forseeabie future, but sees a need to come to grips with the issue of medicare. “As far as entitlement programs go," he said, "the problem is not in Social Security— the recent reforms have probably made it fairly safe until the end of the century .With medicare though we have a major issue. It’s the largest entitlement program in the country. "The whole area of health care cost con­ tainment along with its availability and quality, and balancing those two con­ siderations, is a major concern,'* Henry said. "I would point out that as chairman of the health and education committee (Ln the state senate) I've been in the heart of that. Quite frankly I'm the only candidate who can talk about that with any expertise. “There’s no doubt that the medicare issue— how we contain costs and still insure the availabiltiy of quality care for senior citizens— is going to be of equal magnitude to what the restructuring of Social Security was two years ago,” he said. While noting that foreign policy is basically in the executive and senatorial realm, Henry noted that Congressmen are expected to play a role in formulating and representing public opinion. “I think my two years in the Peace Corps, two years spent Ln third world countries, is germaine,” he said. “ When I was in Ethiopia there was a civil war with Americans supplying one side and the Soviet Union and Chineese supplying the other. I’ve been held up by guerrillas. I've had a rifle pointed in my gut by Soviet-financed terrorists. I’ve seen dead bodies hauled back and forth in front of the hut I lived in. “Many of these wars are not fought in terms of the pheasant population, but are primarily ideological,’ Henry said. “The vast majority of people are caught in the middle. “What do you do? You cannot abide terrorism. And you cannot abide it as it gets closer to your country and becomes more dangerous. It's one thing to talk about terrorism in Vietnam or Africa, but when it comes to Latin America, and starts moving up, that's another thing. I was in Washington last month, and it’s kind of tragic to see the barriers around the White House because of the threat of terrorists. You have to stand up to it. The whole issue (of Central America)," he felt, "is how do we avoid another Viet­ nam-type entanglement, while at the same time not allowing Soviet-back terrorism. How do you protect and secure the national interest in that regard (of avoiding en­ tanglements) and still stop terrorism? It's a balance that's very difficult. The answer, of course, is to realize you can not simply have a military solution to social, political, and economic problems (in those third world countries). But, at the same time, you can’t be so naive as to suggest there's no role for military containment or a military response at this point in time.” Concerning Soviet-American relations, Henry said that "you begin by recognizing that historically you’ve had to deal with the Soviet Union from a position of strength ’. "You can't deal with them from any other position," be said. "And, in part, that’s what the rearming, the defense build-up, is a recognition of. “It’s interesting that in the last month or two Reagan is reaching out to the Soviet Union, trying to have us reason together, while the Soviet Union’s leadership has become very bellicose in its rhetoric. I’m a realist in recognizing we have to deal in strength, but 1 would hope our diplomatic doors would always remain open and that we would do nothing to make a precarious situation anymore dangerous than it inherently is."

Gilmore Jewelers �From Time to Time... by...Esther Walton Hastings Mutual Insurance started 100 years ago... Above is a photo of the original Hastings Mutual Building, erected in 1908, on the corner ofCenter and South Jefferson Street, now Signs Tire parking lot. Below is a picture of D.W. Rogers who was instru­ mental in helping the company grow during its early years. Hastings Mutual is celebrating 100 years of existence during this coming year. In commemoration of its 100th year of existence, Hastings Mutual Insurance Company has commissioned the placement of an historical marker on the company's first home-office building, which was built in 190B and is now part of Charlton Park's Historic Village. The dedication will take place tomorrow at 4 p.m. in the village. The building is a symbol of the en­ during vitality of the centennial company. The three predictions made by The Hastings Banner in 1908, the year it was built, came true. Said The Banner. "The only danger is that what is built now will be too small ten years from now. for such a company can not help but to grow. This building and the company it will house will stand as a monumen* to his (D.W. Rogers) life after he has ceased to direct its af­ fairs.” The building in 10 years did indeed become too small and had to be enlarged, the company did grow and the first mutual building now stands as a monument to that growth in Charlton Park's Historic Village. D.W. Rogers, one of the founders of the company in 1885 and its secretary and chief executive officer until 1918, kept the company's records in his of­ fice. His insurance agency and the records of the Farmers Mutual Fire Insurance Company of Barry and Eaton Counties (The Barry and Eaton) shared space in his small upstairs of­ fice with the records of the Michigan Mutual Tornado, Cyclone and Wind­ storm Company (now Hastings Mutual Insurance Company). In 1907, the successful growth of the Windstorm Company required all of Rogers' attention and he chose not to continue as secretary and chief executive officer of the Barry and Eaton. The Barry and Eaton elected a new secretary and removed its offices to Nashville. This presented an opportunity for the Windstorm Company to design and build their own office building. At the January 1980 meeting of the board of directors, members concluded, "the company ranked with the largest and best of its kind... if any organization ever needed a building, this company does." The Hastings Banner, January 29. 1908, supported the board's decision: “Think of a company with 40,000 members conducting the business and keeping all of its records in one or two fair size offices over a grocery store. Such a company and such an organization is worthy of a home and a good one." To improve the recordkeeping aspects of the new offices, the directors instructed the secretary at the January 1908 meeting "to visit other (insurance) offices in the state for the purpose of getting information" so that the new offices could be efficiently managed with the best methods available. For the building site, the company selected the Roland Brothers lot on the northeast corner of Jefferson and Center streets in downtown Hastings. The board prescribed a two-story pressed brick building "up to date in every respect and provided with electric lights and ample safety vaults’’ to protect records. In order to remain within the $8,000 limitation of total cost of the building, the original plans were modified to shorten the length of the building by ten feet. The building contract was let to Ed Monica. The architect hired by the board had an excellent professional reputation. He was James P. Waters, a native of Hastings and son of Luke Waters, a well-known businessman. Waters* first architectural works were three store buildings in Detroit. Over the years, he also designed other buildings in Hastings: the Masonic Temple, the Stebbins Block, the Burton Block, several residences and an addition to the 1870s schoolhouse. In later years, he designed other buildings in Michigan and in midwest United States. The company continued to grow in the years after 1908 and an addition had to be made to the building. When the company had outgrown the enlarged building, it erected the handsome structure on the southwest corner of Broadway and State streets, now known and occupied as city hail. The Jefferson Street building was sold to the United Brethren Church which occupied it until the 1970s. The church sold the building and lot to Al Signs who needed the lot for his business, but who did not need the building. Hastings Mutual became aware of the situation and in 1971, as its contribution to the centennial founding of Hastings, gave funds to Charlton Park Museum and Village which enabled it to move the salvaged materials from the Jefferson Street building to the village and put them into storage. In 1974, additional money was needed to reconstruct the building as a project for the 1976 United States Bicentennial celebration. Again Hastings Mutual provided funds. In 1980, the recon­ struction was completed and the building was opened to village visitors. The building contained part of the restored insurance company's offices, bank offices, and a lawyer’s office, typical of the 1908-1920S period. At the 1980 dedication of the 1908 Jefferson Street building, Frank Rothfuss, president of Hastings Mutual, said, •‘This building had been preserved for present generations and for future generations, so people coming along can learn from the past." It reminds village visitors of the dynamic growth of the Windstorm Company to its present eminence as a leader in its business and of the dynamic D.W. Rogers, whose leadership guided the company from 1885 to 1918.

MEL HUND At the age of 12, Mel Hund knew she wanted to become a teacher. During her childhood, she'd portray the role of the ’teacher’ and round-up neigh­ borhood kids for sessions of the ‘‘Friendship Club" (Saturday School) in her playhouse. Her goal to someday be a ’real' teacher did materialize and she's spent the past 14*4years teaching English and former elective subjects such as journalism at Hastings Junior High. Mel credits he.- grandmother, a teacher who began her career in 1936, for having a great influence upon her own vocational choice. "It has been a very satisfying profession and one of which I am proud to be a part," said Mel. ’‘There are always challenging experiences and new ideas to investigate." During her teaching career, she has been the Junior High English Department Head, a member of Delta Kappa Gamma educational honorary socieity, Hastings Education Association (HEA) public relations chair­ person, a member of the HEA social com­ mittee, a member of the Michigan Association of Middle School Educators, and a member of the National Council of Teachers of English. She also has served on several school committees. In 1975, Mel received the "Outstanding Young Educator Award" from the Hastings Jaycees. Although Mel and her husband, Jim, are a long way from their hometowns, both enjoy country living in Barry County. "Since I was brought up surrounded by water, living in the country is a new ex­ perience for me," she said. "Both my husband and I were raised in places where our next door neighbors were exactly that...next door. But we truly enjoy the country, and I have tried to decorate our home with country accents and family an­ tiques." Me) was bom in the city of Marquette in Michigan’s Upper Peninsula. Her family moved to'Gladstone on Little Bay de Noc when she was a young child. She has many fond memories of her childhood and high school days. Before she decided to become a teacher, she recalls that she "literally tried out every occupation from being a radio announcer while swinging in the backyard to trying my hand, along with my brother, at selling icicles in the winter from our little red wagon. At two cents apiece, who could resist?" "I grew up in Gladstone among many other families who were of Scandinavian descent. Three of my grandparents were immigrants from Sweden in the early 1900's. Both of my grandmothers were cooks in lumber camps in the U.P. early in this century. They, along with my mother, were masters in the art of cooking and baking, so I grew up surrounded by the aromatic smell of freshly baked bread, coffee cakes, etc.," said Mel. (She shares a recipe for Scandinavian Pastry with readers this week along with one for (pick carmel rolls). Mel says "a person of Scandinavian heritage knows that being invited for coffee means also that a small feast is at hand. Every special occasion was a smorgasbord of good food. "A special memory is Christmas Eve at my grandparents when we all were served the traditional lutefisk (cod), sylta (head cheese) and korv (potato sausage)." Before graduating from Gladstone High School, Mel was involved in every activity in which she could muster the energy to par­ ticipate and that same enthusiasm continued in college. During her college years, she became involved in student government, was college editor of the campus newspaper, was a member of Sigma Kappa Sorority at Central Michigan University, and was elected campus queen at Bay de Noc Community College which gave her the experience of participating in three other pagenents. Mel holds an associate of arts degree from Bay de Noc Community College; a bachelor of science degree from Central Michigan University and a master of arts degree from Michigan State University. During the summers of her college years and early years of teaching, she worked at summer youth camps, living in a tent for the eight-week annual sessions. “I was a unit leader for two summers at a primitive-type Girl Scout Camp. Cooking was an interesting experience there. We ate one meal in the main lodge and concocted the other meals ourselves in the primitive kit­ chen in each unit or over a campfire on overnights." She adds that a primitive kitchen consists of a fire pit and two crude tables, all of which are covered by a roof. Mel also spent three summers working at a co-educational youth camp in Iron County, serving as a counselor, assistant program director and archery and canoeing in­ structor. In 1971, a year and a half after she began teaching in Hastings, Mel and her husband, Jim, were married. They met at CMU and during the first two summers of their marriage, the couple put all of their belongings in their cars and headed back ’o the campus to work at CMU's Speech and Hearing Clinic. "Our work (at the clinic) consisted of aiding students from all over the state of Michigan who had many different types of speech and hearing difficulties, including physical handicaps. The experience was one of the most rewarding and challenging times of my life," she said. Jim, who is originally from Ubly, Mi., is the director of special education for the Barry Intermediate School District. Prior to attaining that position, he was a school psychologist for BISD. "My husband and I come from different types of families ethnically and in size," said Me). "I have one younger brother, and he has six older brothers and sisters.

Here, 3he displays delicious Scandinavian pastry which she forms into an "S" shape, frosts with buttercream frosting and garnishes with chopped nuts and cherries. ana nephews on his side and the two on mine, along with all of my students who are very special in all respects, keep me attuned to the progress and interests of today's youth." Mel enjoys a wide spectrum of personal interests. She says, ‘‘I come from a very creative family so I have fallen into en­ joyment of the creative arts.” She especially enjoys nature photography and some of her photographs enhance the decor in her home. A delightfully unique framed photo is one she snapped of a tree toad nestled on a petal of a beautiful rose. Mel also likes to pursue unique craft work, painting, sewing, reading, and writing. One of her future goals is to write a book about educational experiences or something in children’s literature. “Each year I design our Christmas cards, and it is a challenge to come up with something unique," she said. One year, the couple's Christmas card featured a photograph of a deer which Mel captured on film when it ventured on their property. She enjoys spectator sports, cross country skiing, canoeing, snowshoeing, and aerobic dancing which she has taught for teens in the YMCA program. Mel also tries to jog two miles a day. She is a member of the First Presbyterian Church and has taught Sunday School there. “In the summer, 1 enjoy relaxing at our family cottage near Marquette, but I also like the adventure of traveling," said Mel. She has been in 40 of the 48-continental United States and most of the Canadian provinces and Mexico. She hopes to travel to Scandinavia in the near future The Hunds have a large garden and Mel says it is primarily handled by her husband who has a green thumb. They have many different varieties of vegetables, flowers, shrubs and fruit trees. Each year she cans tomatoes and tomato juice. They also freeze peas, com, beans, squash, raspberries, strawberries, etc. "After buying a quarter of beef, we are able to live mainly from our freezer supplies during the winter," she said. "We enjoy entertaining and with my husband's love of cooking ari my love of sweets and dabbling in the baking area, we have a good time preparing for a dinner." The following recipes, which Mel shares with readers, are ones she says are "very simple and are guaranteed to give that cup of coffee a savory boost." She notes that the pastry is best if con­ sumed on the same day it is baked. The rolls may be reheated and they freeze well.

To Americans living in the last quarter of the 19th century, the gigantic elephant "Jumbo" was the epitome of all that was mysterious and won­ derfully lovable. P.T. Banlum, one of America's greatest impresarios, brought this inhabitant of Africa's mystery-shrouded jungle to our shores, exhibiting him before the eyes of millions. Most likely the largest elephant ever in captivity, Jumbo’s dimensions were staggering: 14-feet long, over 12-feet high, and weight exceeding 14,000 pounds. Like a leviathan from the Earth's prehistoric past, he towered over man and beast. Barnum, ever the showman, matched him up with a baby elephant, Tom Thumb, and the two were displayed side by side, never failing to excite and enchant their audiences. Jumbo became a part of our vocabulary. It became an adjective for all things truly oversized. Manufac­ turers and advertising agents used the word for many products. In time, "jumbo" came to mean larger than extra-large, such as with eggs and super-sized ice cream cones. Contrary to popular belief, Jumbo was not the first elephant to be seen in America or the first to travel with a circus. A century earlier, in 1796, a four-foot high baby pachyderm arrived in New York and was exhibited up and down the coast as "the largest of quadrupeds". The tiny elephant later was signed on with the New York Circus, becoming the first circus elephant in the country. Also, contrary to popular belief, P.T. Barnum did not invent the circus. He only popularized it The first American circus performance was in 1793. For the next 80 years, however, the circus in­ dustry grew quite slowly; from small rings with several performers in fixed locations, to traveling conglomerations of downs, menageries, side shows and myriads of acts. Either mismanaged or continuously faltering on the brink of financial ruin, these itinerant troupes possessed, at best, only mediocre talent They toured the hinterlands of our country, playing in small towns and villages. Barnum gave the circus respec­ tability and, with his genius, boldness and vision, be fashioned it into a hlgly respectable form of entertainment that became a permanent feature in American life for decades. Going to great lengths to get the most unusual and interesting animals available, Barnum spent thousands of dollars and sent sliip after ship to Africa and India to bring back rare and unique specimens. Among these were elephants, long a mainstay of circuses and aiways a major attraction. An event important in the course of American circus history occurred in 1880. At that time, Barnum's ex­ travagant circuses were receiving stiff competition from International Allied Shows, Inc., owned and operated by three men, the moat important being a young man by the name of James A. Bailey. On March 10, Hebe, one of Bailey’s elephants, gave birth to Columbia, the first elephant born in captivity. Bar­ num, always aware of a good thing when be saw it, immediately offered $100,000 for mother and baby. Not only did Bailey refuse the offer, but he had Barnum's overture printed in newspapers around the country. The tremendous publicity and coverage by the press only reaffirmed Barnum's belief in the potential profits to be made. Unable to buy the elephants from Bailey, Barnum did the next logical thing; be suggested a merger of their circuses. The result, eventually called Barnum and Bailey's, dominated the American circus scene forever, becoming an American institution. So large did it grow, that by 1919 one hundred railroad cars, divided into lour sections and pulled by three Thanks to you... It works... for ALL OF US locomotives, were required to carry the entire Ringling Bros, and Barnum and Bailey circus on its itinerary throughout the United States. Then along came Jumbo, a name forever associated with the American circus. Because they are easier to train and more docile, and actually seem to enjoy performing, Indian elephants have been used almost exclusively by cir­ cuses. Jumbo was no exception. He was an African, traditionally difficult, obstinate and often dangerous as well, although larger and more showy. Jumbo was captured by Arabs on an animal hunting expedition in central Africa when be was a baby. Tran­ sported to the coast, he was bought by Johann Schmidt, an animal dealer, who sold him to a zoo in Paris. They, in turn, traded him to London^ Royal Zoological Society for a rhinocerous. Jumbo's 16-year youth was spent peacefully in London. He was a favorite attraction, greatly beloved by the children who rode on his back and fed him peanuts. He was also adored by adults, including Queen Victoria. By 1882, he bad grown nearly 12 foot high and weighed six-and-a-ha)f tons. Along with three dozen loaves of bread, quantities of fruits, and 200 pounds of hay, he consumed a quart of whiskey daily. By now he was the largest elephant in the world — and still growing! In June of 1881, Barnum made an offer of 810,000 for Jumbo. It was ac­ cepted. Barnum now faced the horrendous task of transporting his prize from England across the ocean to America. He chartered the Assyrian Monarch, a British freighter, and ordered the decks gutted to provide room. On April 9, 1882, Easter morning, Jumbo arrived in New York City. Thousands along the way cheered as the gigantic iron van, drawn by 16 horses, was pulled down Broadway to Madison Square Garden to join Bar­ num's circus. Nearly two million dollars were earned during the 31-week 1882 season. Billed as the "towering monarch of his race", Jumbo toured all the United States and Canada for two-and-one-half years. Jumbo's death was unexpected and horrible. In Ontario, Canada, in Sep­ tember of 1885, he was killed. His trainer was leading Jumbo and Tom Thumb to their railroad cars along an unused spur line. Suddenly, a freight train roared down upon them. The trainer leaped to safety, Tom Thumb was grazed, but Jumbo and the train hit head-on. The great elephant collapsed, rolled to his side, and died. The entire world mourned Jumbo. Barnum, who tried to spread the rumor that Jumbo died confronting the train to save his beloved trainer and Tom Thumb, hired a world-famous taxidermist to stuff him. Even in death, he was the central attraction at the Circus Exhibition Hall. In 1975, the ball was closed and Jumbo was placed in a hallway. In 1977, an eight-man crew arrived to take Jumbo apart, crate him, and deposit his bones in some dusty corner where he remains today. In America, countless novelties were produced in Jumbo's likeness or carried his namesake. The use of his name helped promote peanuts, cigars, toothpaste, baking powder, soap powders, and laxatives. Glassware and a host of ther materials bore his im­ print Both Clark's O.N.T. thread and Kazine Soap, for instance, produced multi-card sets depicting Jumbo's trek from London to America. Highly collectible, also, are the numerous circus posters used to ad­ vertise Jumbo's appearance in spangleland. Many have called Jumbo Barnum's greatest act As with the famous Jenny Lind. Barnum's exploitations won him fame and fortune as the greatest showman of all time. — FOR SALE — Oak FIREWOOD (By Wholesale) Split, round or 8 ft. lengths.

The Saxon all-slate basketball star an­ nounced his choice of colleges has been reduced to Michigan State University, the University of Michigan, Northwestern University, the University of Kansas in Lawrence, and Wake Forest University in Winston-Salem. North Carolina. Brown also admitted there is a good chance he'll announce his final college selection before lhe Nov. 7 early scholarship signing period. Brown, who has been recruited by letter or personal contact by over 150 schools said that he is giving his most serious consideration to playing basketball at a major college. He said that he did consider Western Michigan University, in the Mid American Con­ ference, but decided to narrow his choices to the bigger schools. Brown said that by announcing his handful of colleges before his senior year, the pressure from recruiters should be reduced. "It's just something I had to do." he said. “I don't know what it will do for me next year." Wayne Brown. Mark's father and former Hastings basketball coach, said the decision was reached after much consultation within the family. He said considering 150 schools was simply unrealistic. “I don’t think it's possible to consider 150 alternatives equally." said the elder Brown. "You can't give a fair amount of time to each. Tile choices had to be nai rowed." Wayne Brown said he and his son have kept close track over which colleges lost who through graduation and who the schools have recruited to replace those players. He said it is not uncommon for colleges to recruit as many big players as possible each season, but they will hand out only one scholarship a year to a 6-0 guard. Brown said he hopes that by reducing the list now. the phone calls and letters wii! slow Io a tricKle. "It won’t keep the others from coming around for a while," he said. "They’ll probably still be some letters and phone calls, but after a few months it'll slow down." Brown has spent most of his spring and summer playing with the West-Michigan AAU team which won the state AAU title, and also out east al the Athletes For Better Education basketball camp at Princeton. The slate's lead scoring sophomore said he isn't entirely satisfied with how he has played this summer, but by lhesame token is far from being unhappy, too. "My improvement has been in the way 1 played against the top players in the nation." he said. "There weren't any guards at the camp better than me. That's where my improvement came — playing against the best players." Brown's AAU team also visited Finland, where they played against the Finnish junior Olympic and professional piavers The AAU team failed to lose a game in Finland. "They were real physical." said Brown of the Finnish players, "and that was good for me." Brown said he doesn’t listen to the critics who claim he isn't a Big Ten or major college basketball player He said a speech he heard by Senator and ex-New York Knick Bill Bradley at Princeton really made excellent sense to him. "He said a player should trust his instincts and that's what I’m doing,’’ said Brown. "I know 1 can play (at a major college) because of the camps and because of what the coaches have said to me." Brown, who owns five Twin Valley scoring records, has scored 1,812 points in 55 varsity games over a three-year career. The two-lime all-state and all-leaguer averaged 36.7 points per game while leading Hastings to a 15-7 record.

Boys team wins girls softball championship — A curious story was sent out over the Associated Press wires last week of a predominately boys softball team winning the girls state Senior Little League cham­ pionship. it seems the team, from Peterstown, W. Va.. featured 11 boys as opposed to only three girls. The team's opjxments were all girls, ages 13-15. Naturally the team has taken a considerable amount of heat from the other teams, but the team's coach, Jerry Pitzer, said he saw nothing wrong with what happened. "What we're doing is legally correct," Pitzer was quoted as saying by AP. “There’s no doubt about that. The Little League softball handbook says 'children.' It doesn't say boys or girls." Here's one supporting vote for Mr. Pitzer. In these days of girls trying to crash boys teams, how can there possibly be anything wrong with boys playing with and against girls? Weren't we always taught what's fair for one is fair for another? As long as the courts have ruled it’s legal for girls to play on boys teams the converse has to be true. It's only fair. Will Mark Brown be in over his head at a major college? — It’s like Brown said last week: If he did play for four years at what is considered a "lesser" college, wouid he look back and always wonder if he could have played in the big Ten or another major conference? Robert Frosi wrote a poem once called "The Road Not Taken" in which he lamented which of life's pathways he should travel. He always wondered if he choose the right one. Brown has the chance to attend a major college. He’s correct if he thinks he would always be assailed with doubts if he ignored the chance to go big lime. He's been told by knowledgeable basketball people — people who are paid to know and judge talent — that he is capable play major college basketball. Even if Brown never plays much at a prestigious Division I school he doesn't deserve some smart aleck a year from now sitting back in his easy year and smirking, “Yeah. 1 knew he’d never make it. He should have gone to a smaller school." Let the kid have his day in the sun. ASA alienates softball teams — It happens every year in late July when the American Softball Association (ASA) tries to classify its teams for the state tournament in August. The ASA has specific guidelines for each of its seven classifications (open, A. BB, B, CC, C, and D) such as • toughness of league, how many tour­ naments the team plays in, reputation, amount of home run hitlers, etc. For instance, a rather average team with one or two home run hitters which plays in one tournament a season might be classified as C. Another team with several power hitters which wins a number of tournaments might be classified as A or B. Basically, the ASA leaves the classification of teams up to the various league directors. The trouble comes when the teams are grossly un­ derclassified which creates a log jam of Class CC and below teams. Thus, many of the lower teams for­ sake the slate tournament entirely because they believe, usually correctly, they have no chance of winning a state tournament. The solution is having the ASA better define its classifications and crack down on the league directors which do not care to classify their teams ac­ cording to those guidelines. And Lhe ASA had better do so before additional teams become more in­ censed with the organization. Ducks Unlimited time again — There is something about lhe preservation of animals and wildlife that gets to me. It might be dogs or cats, deer or bear...or ducks. The Thornapple Valley Chapter of Ducks Unlimited will be holding if fifth banquet Aug. 30 at the Moose. The organization, dedicated to preserving duck wetlands and perpetuating waterfowl across North America, deserves as much support as it can muster. Artwork as well as 200 door prizes will be raffled off on Aug. 30. It wouldn't be a bad way to spend an evening.

Coho, steelhead and kings are out farther in 250 to jpo feel in the top 40 feet. Good catches of perch reported in 40 feet of water south of the port but nothing much happening off the piers. The warm water is driving them out farther to the cooler water. Best success has been on minnows. South Haven - Perch are in deeper waler here too - about 40-50 ft. off the rocks. A lot of lake trout being taken out of this port. Saugatuck - Limit catches of Chinook and lake trout - a few chinook up ft 26 lbs. They are fishing in 70 to 90 feet in tne bottom 20 feet and using stringers, south port slammers and hobos. Perch are just starting up again now that the lake has calmed down. Inland Fishing - has been very slow during the heat of lhe day - try early mornings and late evenings when it is cooler. Fish are in deeper water - crickets and wigglers are good baits for this time of year.

After all. to him, summer , means hot. tail-dragging "dog days." pesty fleas and I flies, trips in the car away from familiar surroundings, and an array of seasonal threats to his health. Here are some common sense tips to make your dog's summer a lime to remem­ ber. not an ordeal that’s best left forgotten. -Your veterinarian can help get your dog's summer off to a healthy start. Get professional advice on your dog’s overall health and what he’ll need to thrive in the months to come. -Keep your dog’s vac­ cinations up-to-date. Mos: communities require proof of vaccination before issuing a dog license. If you plan to board your pet this summer, most kennels won't take him if his shots have expired. Save yourself the rushing around to gel these shots at the last minute. -If you plan to take your dog on vacation, he may pick up heartworms on the trip. These deadly internal parasites get into your dog's bloodstream from mosquito bites. As these microscopic parasites grow, they spread into his lungs and block off the flow of blood to the heart, a fatal disease. Have your vet check your dog's blood for heartworms before and after the peak early summer mosquito breeding season. -Fleas, ticks and other external narasites love to make your dog’s scalp their permanent picnic plans. Bathe your dog in a com­ mercial flea bath solution. Use a flea collar or flea powder, but never both together. You can over­ medicate him and hurt his scalp.

Ex­ periment with canned, semi­ moist and dry foods until you find which is best for both of you. Pesticide labels loaded with info The best reason lor keeping pesticides and other lawn and garden chemicals in their original containers is not the containers them­ selves. but the tables tliey carry. Labels tell not only what the material is and how to use it effectively, but also its relative degree of hazard to humans and the en­ vironment and how to use it safely. Fred H. Tschirley, Ex­ tension pesticide coordinator at Michigan State Univer­ sity, explains that certain words on labels indicate relative acute toxicity - that is, how dangerous the chemcial is to people. The words “danger poison” and a skull and crossbones are used on lables of pesticides that are so toxic that a taste to a teaspoon is enough to kill an adult. Information on using protective clothing and equipment to reduce the likelihood of poisoning and information on first aid and treatment by physicians is also provided. Pesticides labeled with the signal world “danger” only are not highly toxic to humans but may be ex­ tremely deadly to fish, birds or bees, or be capable of doing some other en­ vironmental damage. The label will instruct the used how to avoid this damage by keeping the material out of lakes and streams, for instance. The word "warning" is used on pesticides that are somewhat less toxic- a teaspoon on an ounce may be fatal. Users of pesticides in this category are advised tn wear protective clothing. Labels also provide ------- J "first air measures, advice for physicians and notice of potential environmental hazards. Still less toxic pesticides are labeled with the signal word "caution”. Though toxicity is relatively low - an ounce to a pint would be needed for a fatal dose labels still advise careful handling. "Whether poisoning oc­ curs depends on the length of the exposure as well as the relative toxicity of the chemical," Tschirley points out. “Even a pesticide with a fairly tow order of toxicity can be fatal if exposure goes on tong enough." Pesticides and other poisons can enter the body through the mouth, through the skin and through the lungs. Anyone using pesticides should protect him-herself against all routes of exposure. This may mean using special protective clothing and respirators. It always means washing hands and other exposed areas and changing clothes after using pesticides, and not smoking or eating while handling pesticides. Clothes should be washed after each use, Tschirley adds, not worn day after day so that pesticides can build up and increase exposure to possible dangerous levels. To avoid contaiminating other clothing, wash pesticidecontaminated clothing separate from other laundry. “Remember that any pesticide can be dangerous if you don’t handle it properly," Tschirley sums up. “Labels provide adequate information to protect you and the en­ vironment. Take time to read them before you use the material. If you think you have suffered overexposure to some pesticide, consult a physician and take the label with you. The information on the label will help the doctors treat you.” Serving Our Country Jeffrey R. Dufto Marine Pvt. Jeffrey R. Duflo, son of Raymond K. and Marie M. Dufto of 11434 Chief Noonday Rd., Mid­ dleville, has completed recruit training at the Marine Corps Recruit Depot, San Diego. During the 11-week training cycle, he learned the basics of battlefield survival. He was introduced lo 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. Teamwork and selfdiscipline were emphasized throughout the training cycle. Charles D. Tarbet Navy Chief Petty Officer Charles D. Tarbet, son of William T. and Grace A. Tarbet of 402 W.

Constantin Hunciag, Hastings building inspector, said the eight holdouts ail live out of town, and collectively own less than a dozen of tbe estimated 800 rental units in the city. Hunciag sent 14-day notices on July 20 to landlords who have not answered the city's request for registration of rental properties. Officials say registration is necessary to enforce the Ordinance No. 174, passed by the Hastings City Council Aug.

State jobless rate holds at 11.3% In 'July Michigan's unemployed rate held steady at 11.3 percent, marking the third straight month of no change in the rate, according tq labor force estimates released by A.R. Jazowski, acting director of the Michigan Employment Security Commission. Jazowski' reported that 506,000 Michigan workers were without jobs in July, an increase of 300) from June's level. A year ago, July 1MB, the state’s unemployment rate was 13.1 percent with 577,000 out of work. Michigan’s labor force had a slight increase of 29,000 in July due largely to summer jobseekers entering the labor market in search of em­ ployment. The increase pushed the total labor force up to a record high of 4,480,080. Total employment also increased in July climbing by 26,000 to 3,975,00. Jazowski said most of the job growth occurred in seasonal construction and tourist-related industries and helped employment reach its highest level in the state since November 1979 when it was at 4,906,000. Michigan's seasonally adjusted July unemployment rate edged down to 11.5 percent 'rom 11.8 percent in June. The number of jobless workers fell by 3,000 to 502,000. Nationally, the seasonally adjuried July jobless rate for the civilian labor force climbed to 7.5 percent from 7.1 percent in June. Tbe number of unemployed during the month rose by 413,000 to 8,543,000.

Because the State Equalized Valuation (SEV) in the county was raised this spring and will, in turn, generate more revenues this coming year than during the past one. tbe commissioners (under state law) must decide whether to accept those extra revenues or roll back its 5.87 allocated mills so that the coming year's total revenues match this past year’s figure. The past year's figure totals 52,455.902. With the increased SEV though, the county In the race for Register of Deeds on the Republican side, real estate broker Sandy Schondelmayer defeated Mark Haines, 1488 to 1329. Schondelmayer, 33, was considered a favorite by many, having received the en­ dorsement of retiring Register of Deeds Howard Ferris and having served as Deputy Register of Deeds since January. Haines, who is an appraiser in the county Equalization Department, won by a 44 votes in the City of Hastings. He also edged Schondelmayer in Carlton, Johnstown, Hope, and Barry Townships and ran close in Orangeville, Prairieville, and Irving Townships. Schondelmayer, however, won be wide enough margins in the remaining townships to carry the election. “It was a very close race and I’m very pleased we won,” said Schondelmayer after the results were in. “I very much want to thank Howard and Kathryn Ferris for (heir support. I'm looking forward now to the general election and to being the next Register of Deeds." In the Prosecutor race on the Republican side, incumbent Judy Hughes, who is seeking her second term, bested attorney challenger would get 52,517.049. an added 561.147. If. however, it chooses not to accept the extra revenues, then the millage rate would be rolled back to 5.7274 mills and total generated revenues would thereby stay the same. At the hearing a year ago the com­ missioners voted to roll back the millage rather than to take the approximately 512,000 of extra lax monies caused by the then in­ creased SEV. At that time they said the amount was small enough so as not to adversely affect county operations and. because af the still poir economic conditions, they also ex­ pressed a desire to provide some relief to local taxpayers. At a preliminary Truth in Taxation hearing, held on July 23, Commissioner Theodore McKelvey said that, with the large increase in appropriation that the county will be required to give to the Barry Medical Center, he saw "no way we could roll back this year”. McKelvey was referring to a change in regulations by the state which will require counties, like Barry, that have a medical center, to provide a more substantial local contribution to its operation. Also during that preliminary hearing. Commissioner James Gordon, chairman of the finance committee, said his group had not had an opportunity to study the '85 budget to see what impact this 561.000 would have on it. “We will be doing that and can then give a recommendation." he added. byKenReibd Michigan Supreme Cotrt Justice Patricia Boyle will visit Hastings Monday, speaking to women’s groups, the Barry County Bar Association, local officials and the Hastings Rotary Club. Boyle, 47, has been a Supreme Court Justice since April 20,1983. Prior to that, she sat on the bench of the United States District Court. She has also served as a Detroit Recorders Court Judge, assistant prosecuting attorney in Wayne County, and an assistant U.S. at­ torney. The Justice will start off her day in Hastings by speaking to a Joint meeting sponsored by the Hastings Women’s Club and the Pennock Hospital Auxiliary Board. Other groups present will be Hastings Business and Professional Women, Republican and Democratic women of Barry County, and the American Association of University Women. Tbe event will get underway at 9:30 a.m. The topic of Boyle's talk will be "Women in Power". Boyle will be honored at a reception of the Barry County Bar Association, at 11 a.m. in the Probate Courtroom. Hosting the reception will be Barry County Probate Court Judge Richard Laughrin. Present at the talk will be city and county elected officials, township boards, law en­ forcement groups and county employees. At noon, Boyle will deliver a speech en­ titled "Victim’s Rights" to a luncheon gathering of the Hastings Rotary Club, to held at the Moose Lodge. Program chairman is Dr. David Woodliff. Boyle was born in Detroit, and attended Detroit public schools, graduating from Cooley High School. She is a 1963 graduate of Wayne State University Law School, where she received the Graduate Professional Scholarship bronze, silver and gold key awards for academic excellence, graduating first in her class. Boyle made headlines in 1978, when Detroit attorneys ranked her as number one among city recorders court judges in a Detroit Free Press survey. In that survey, 30 of 47 prosecutors flatly rated her as the best recorders judge. Detroit area defense at­ torneys ranked her as seventh best; about a quarter of them said Boyle’s sentencing policies were too severe, and a third thought she favored the prosecution. That same year, the Detroit chapter of the National Organization of Women (NOW) named her "Woman of the Year". Boyle started her professional legal career as a legal research assistant to Uni’ed States District Judge Thaddeus Machrowicz, while serving simultaneously as an instructor at Wayne Law School. In 1964, she was ap­ pointed assistant United States attorney. She served in that capacity until 1968, when she Joined the staff of the Wayne County Justice Patricio Boyle prosecuting attorney. There, she was immediately selected by James Brickley, the chief assistant (now Justice of the Michigan Supreme Court) to direct the investigation conducted by the first citizen's grand jury in decades in Wayne County in 1969. Asa result of that experience, she assisted in drafting amendments to the Citizen's Grand Jury Law. which were enacted by the legislature in 1970. Boyle has received the distinguished alumni award from both Wayne Law School (1979) and Wayne State University (1980). She was honored with the Distinguished Service Award of the Detroit-Wayne County Criminal Advocacy Program in 1983, and, in the same year, was honored as “Woman of the Year" by the Police Officers Association of Michigan. She has also received outstanding achievement awards from the Prosecuting Attorneys Asssociation of Michigan (197B). and the Detroit City Council (Spirit of Detroit Award 1978 and 1983). �Page 2 VIEWPOINT: Commentaries from our editorial staff and the community — Editorial: The Midland Plant WHO SHOULD PAY? Events taking place outside of Barry County ar» seldom topics for this column, but the question of who should pay for the now defunct nuclear power plant at Midland is one that will affect nearly every homeowner and business here. Simplified, the question i.‘ how much of the cost of constructing the twin-reactor nuclear plant shut down in mid-July by Consumers Power Co. should be borne by the customers. Last week, the company filed a $7 billion rale increase request with the state's Public Service Commission (PSC). The rate hike seeks $472 million a year for 15 years. Included in the rate request is $3.5 billion in construction costs; $472 million that will be returned as dividends to holders of preferred and preference stock in the company; nearly $1.5 billion in federal and state income taxes already paid while the project was in progress; and about $1.6 billion for interest on bank loans and payments on bonds that financed construction. It seems clear to us that businesses and homeowners would be devastated by the 35 percent increase in electric bills that would result from the rate hike, if ap­ proved. Ata time when Michigan's economy is just beginning to improve, workers are finding new jobs and being called back from layoff, and reforms have been made in some of the costs and regulations that Michigan businesses have had to bear, it does not seem proper that the PSC should throw such a wallop into the expenses of businesses and pocketbooks of families. It is also difficult to understand how Consumers officials can expect their customers to pay for the entire cost of what was basically a bad business decision made by a private company. In a statewide referrendum just a few years ago, utility customers told the PSC and the utility companies that they had had enough rate increases when they put a halt to automatic rate adjustments. Approval of a rate hike of the size requested by Consumers would be telling the utilities that they can invest in any grand scheme they choose and not fear recovering the costs of failed projects from their customers. No other business has that privilege. Consumers' request cannot be compared to other corporate bailouts, such as Chrysler Corporation or the Continental Bank of Illinois. In the Chrysler case, government credit was used to back loans to the corporation and in return the company, its suppliers and its employees had to change their methods of doing business. That worked. In the Continental Bank case, the Federal Deposit In­ surance Corporation, which is funded by insurance premiums paid by banks, moved in to take over the bank and installed its own management team. Nobody was forced to buy Chrysler cars and nobody is being forced to deposit money or borrow money from Continental. Yet, customers of Consumers Power Co. are forced to buy electricity and gas hum Consumers at whatever price deemed appropriate by the PSC. Customers have only the attorney general and some underfunded public groups advocating for lower rates. We're not experts and can’t possibly know all of the intricate financial arrangements that will be required to put Consumers Power Co. back on solid ground. But, we do understand fairness and it is not fair to expect the ratepayers to provide all of the funds needed to bail out the company. Hopefully, the PSC, like any government body, will be influenced in its decisions by the will of the people and not just the financial schemes of the company. We urge you to write the PSC and give the members your opinion of the Consumers Power Company rate hike request Letters should be addressed to: Michigan Department of Commerce Public Service Commission 6545 Mercantile Way P.O.

John Howell, 8315 Crane Rd., waived exam in Barry County District Court Wednesday on a charge of assault with intent to commit murder, a crime that carries up to life in prison. Instead, he entered the nolo contendre plea to the charge of assault with intent to do great bodily harm less than murder, which is punishable by 10 years in prison. Howell is currently free on $10,000 personal recognizance bond. No date has been set for his arraignment in Barry Circuit Court. Middleville police said Howell discharged a 16-gauge shotgun into the right, rear shoulder of his neighbor. James Robertson, 37, 8200 Crane Rd.

Cain said when he arrived on the scene, he observed a pool of blood in Howell's driveway, and Robertson's dog, which was tied up by Howell’s garage.

The suspects are (from left) Daniel Seller, Bert Miner and Danny Ray Carnes. Eaton judge to preside over cases of three burglary suspects Eaton County District Court Judge Joseph L. Bauer will preside over the examination in Barry County District Court of three Battle Creek men accused of burglarizing the Summit Steel warehouse. The exam for Bert Miner, 42, Danny Rae Carnes,'22, and Daniel Eugene Seller, 2S, is set for Aug. 24 at 1 p.m. Barry District Judge Gary Holman disqualified himself from hearing thecase last week Wednesday, at the urging of the attorneys who are representing the trio. Law enforcement officers investigating the three suspects say they are responsible for atleast IB break-ins in Barry County, and scores more in four states. Holman disqualified himself after hearing objections from attorneys, who said that information used by Holman to set the men’s bond could be prejudicial. The information, prepared by the Barry County prosecutor's office, said the men were part of a burglary ring, and further noted each man's criminal history, including that of defendant Miner, who has nine previous felony convictions. The information also carried a comment froman investigating detective, who said the defendants may skip bail if the amount was not set high. Defendant Carnes is currently free on $1,500 bond, while Miner and Seller are being held in the Barry County Jail in lieu of $20,000 bond each.

Reagan said he has no such plans, and has even vowed that he would not raise personal in­ come taxes in 19X5. Do you believe thp President? Jay Anderson, Florida: "He may have no other choice." said Anderson, a former Hastings resident. "You can't just go on what another person says he is going to do. The way I see it. he either has to raise taxes, print more money, or cut spending. Reagan is more one for cutting spending, but I don't see where he can cut anymore.” Nancy Jaeger. Hastings: "The whole Presidential campaign is nothing but an ego trip, and I won't vote 1 plan to move to Europe, where the quality of life is much better...! don't think Reagan will raise taxes, he’ll just cut back more on government jobs.” Myerel Kidder. Hastings: “I don't know I think Reagan's improved the economy in a short time, so it appears that he knows what he's doing...I don't think Ronnie is too far off the bat." Mary Weiler. Hastings: "One candidate is always against the other. Reagan got us some jobs. We ought to give him four more years." Weiler doesn't think Reagan will ra’se taxes. Gene Greenfield, Hastings: "I expect a tax hike, but it's not needed. If they would cut out on all governmental waste, we wouldn’t need a tax hike." Ken Wright, Hastings: "I'd like to see the deficit reduced or eliminated, but I’d like to see them be a little more creative than another tax hike.” Vera Woods. Hastings: "I want Reagan to hold the line. I don’t think he will, it’s just a feeling I have. Sort of woman's intuition...! think Mondale is only saying the truth and people don't want to hear the truth." Dennis Hubei. Hastings: "No, I don't think there will be (a tax hike) if Reagan is elected again. I think there will be if Mondale is elected. We need to cut the deficit and do some work along those lines before we up the taxes." �The Hostings Banner — Thursday. August 9. 1984 — Page 3 Commissioners receive proposed policy for improving safety In an effort to make working conditions safer for county government employees and Io increase their own safely awareness, a proposed General Barn County Safely Policy" has been given lo the board of commissioners for consideration and adoption. The policy, drawn up the Barry Counly Safety Committee, would formalize desired safety procedures "by both employers and employees, as individuals and as groups". "Although the conduct of safety within the work place is the responsibility of management." the committee stated, "it nevertheless should be recognized that the need for a two-way channel of com­ munication between employers and em­ ployees must be included in any safety program m order for it to be successful." The Safety Control Committee is chaired by Counly Commissioner James Gordon and comprised of several county department heads. The group meets at regular intervals to discuss and implement measures for promoting safely and thereby preventing accidents and injuries. Adding imput to this process has been a representative from Total Group Services, the county’s carrier for workmen's compensation insurance. Recommended procedures in the policy are that: —each department-building shall post a floor plan indicating the location of safety equipment, first-aid personnel and the safety officer; —each oepartment-building shall Woodland News by Catherine Lucas A double birthday party was held at the day.

Upon receiving a report of unsafe conditions, he will conduct an investigation of those conditions and will also notify his or her immediate supervisor and the control committee; —each employee shall have the respon­ sibility of acting and working safely, en­ couraging safety in others, and reporting unsafe conditions immediately to the safety officer; —each department is encouraged to adopt its own safety policy, consistant with the overall county policy ; —an annual safety inspection shall be done in cooperation with the safety engineer (Total Group Services) and the depart­ mental safety officer, each department shall conduct their own safety inspections at (more frequent) periodic intervals, and employees shall be encouraged to observe safety conditions in their immediate working area. Gordon, in outlining the proposed policy to h>s fellow commissioners, said that safety officers have already been assigned by the Highways get help all over Michigan If you've gotten the im­ pression that lots of highway work is going on out there this summer, you're ab­ solutely right. Pavements are being resurfaced or widened, new curbs and gutters are being installed, bridges and bridge decks are being replaced or reconstructed and highway shoulders are being repaired and upgraded. "Repair and recon­ struction of Michigan’s high­ way system is an integral part of my program to rebuild Michigan's inastructure," said Gov. James J. Blancahrd. The Governor’s $135 million bond issue last «ear, together with another $50 million in bonds this year, has provided revenue for immediate improvements to county roads, municipal streets, ard state highways. Using funds combined from the bond issues and recent federal and state increases in transportation revenues, the Michigan Department of Tran­ sportation (MDOT) reports a total of 535 projects under the way on the 9,500-mite state hihgway system (all the Interstate and US- and M-numbered highways). They range in size from small intersection and high­ way drainage improvements tu complete recycling cf concrete in stretches of 1-75 Freeway in southeast Michigan and 1-94 in west Michigan. “Work is going on all over Michigan,"said State Transportation Director James P. Pitz. “This year, as in 1983, we’re able to repair and improve high­ ways faster than they are wearing out. For more than 10 years prior to that, we were falling further and further behind in our efforts to keep highways from deteriorating into poor condition." Contracts for work on 737 miles of state highways were awarded during the fiscal year ended Sept. 30, 1983, more than five times as many as the 144 miles put out to contract in 1982. The volume of contract awards on the state highway system totaled $289 million in 1983, up from $82 million the previous year. Contract awards during the current fiscal year will improve more than 700 miles of highways. "The great bulk of our work is on the existing system -- rehabilitation, resurfacing, restoration and reconstruction," said Pitz. "While this summer's projects may be causing some inconvenience for motorists, the end result better, safer highways - will be worth the temporary detours and traffic slowdowns. I think drivers everywhere will agree that the work has to be done.” Election Headquarters Slab Wood The Public is Invited!

He also said that Total Group Services has already been conducting an annual safety inspection in an effort of its own lo improve safely conditions. "Adoption of this policy would formalize those two procedures," he said. Along with the overall safety policy, the control committee also presented a recommended "county vehicle-user policy" for consideration by the board of com­ missioners. This policy, like the overall one, spells out desired safety procedures, in this case when an employee uses a county vehicle. "Each department head," the committee stated, "shall be responsible for adopting a policy for users of county vehicles to be consistent with the following overall county policy." Those procedures are that: —Seat belts shall be used (where they exist); —A pre-drive check for safe operating conditions shall be carried out before use of the vehicle; —the vehicle user shall report any defects in the vehicle lo his or her supervisor; —a county vehicle shall be used first, if available, before personal transportation; —a post-drive check for cleanliness shall South Jefferson Street be done before (he vehicle is returned, washing and vacuuming if necessary; —the user shall be responsible for the gas and oil and maintaining them at an ac­ ceptable level; —each county vehicle shall be equipped with jumper cables, a first-aid kit and winter emergency equipment; —any traffic citations incurred shall go on file for personnel evaluation: and — a copy of this "user policy" shall lie posted in each county vehicle.

HEATING • COOLING • INSULATION ^52\40^BR0ADWAYJIASTINGS �Page 6 — The Hastings Banner — Thursday, August 9, 1984 From Time to Time... by...Esther Walton Aud’s Antics Third Reich collectible documents... County’s first tourist attraction Thornapple Lake is credited with having the first resort in Barry County. Cole’s Landing, located on the south bank of Thornapple Lake, sat on lop of a high bluff. The water’s edge was about 50 feet south of the house. In the late 1860s, tracks were laid on the norlhside of the house for the Grand River Railroad (later Michigan Central). These tracks linked Chicago and Detroit with a spur at Jackson con­ necting to Saginaw. This spur served Hastings and Nashville with a stop at Thornapple Lake. The railroad made it possible fu residents of Hastings to board the train, arrive al Thomapple Lake 15 minutes later, spend the day, then return home at night. To travel the same distance overland, during the same period of time, would have consumed a half of a day one way over wretched, bumpy, dusty, and twisting paths, not at all a pleasure trip. Charlton Park, now Barry County’s tourist attraction at Thornapple Lake, was until the 1930s still a farm with pastures where the historic village now stands. Occasionally the obliging farmer would allow people to pitch their tents on the pasture next to the river. The camp site included getting along with the cattle who naturally took priority rights to the area. “One time,” recalls Mel Jacobs, “My grandfather's bull held a family captive for a whole day in their tent." Mel’s grandfather was unaware of th..- campers when he let the bull out into the lower pasture. Cole's Landing also started out as a farm in 1866. Mr. Louis P. Cole, seeing the possibilities of extra income from the railraod traffic, added a dock and some row boats for rent. When this became increasingly popular, he filled sand in along the shore, making a beach. The grass around the house became picnic grounds and a ball field. Mr. Cole then added a steamer (steam powered boat) to transport pleasure seekers around Thomapple Lake. “The steamer,” according to Leo Herrick, "Always gave the passengers a long refreshing ride. After pulling away from the dock, it went to Morgan (a settlement east of Cole's) against the current, and then turned and came up what’s cookin the north side of the lake to the cove and then back to the dock." From the 1870s to 1924, the successful resorl expanded until it contained a dance hall, a large dwelling converted intoa notel, a boat house, and a depot or waiting room for passengers. There was also an icehouse where Cole cut ice in the winter and stored it for sale in the summer. The resort attracted people from Chicago and Detroit who would spend a week or so at the hotel paying $3 per person per week. The hotel had 12 guest rooms. Sometime after 19(M, a water toboggan slide was added for the en­ joyment of the resorters. Cole worked hard to attract tourists and to promote the tourist trade. In the summer of 1884, The Banner an­ nounced, "The Barnum's Circus Show stopped at Thomapple Lake Saturday evening where it remained until Sunday afternoon when it passed through this place (Hastings), on the way to Muskegon.” This was an unusual occurtnce for the circus since they generally stopped at towns where they would attract more crowds. Apparently Cole’s Landing could and did attract large crowds, reported to be up to 2,000 people a day. Cole's Landing was a favorite spot for family and group picnics The Hastings Herald of July 28, 1904 carried this notice. “The Methodist Sunday School picnic will be held al Thomapple Lak<*. Friday, July 29, and the usual excursion rates have been obtained... arrangements have been made so that those who attend this picnic can return on the train which reaches this city at 5:25 p.m. and it is expected that all children not accompanied by their parents will return on this 5:25 train... a picnic dinner will be provided for all who attend, but those who expect to remain in the evening will need to provide their own luncheon.” The Cole family went to court in 1904 to prevent the lowering of the lake level. According to the newspaper report of the case, it seems that several farmers living along Thomapple River wanted the lake level dropped four feet. At the time, muck land was the best farm land. Therefore, it seemed reasonable to the farmers along the lake that lowering the lake four feet would make available about sixty-six acres of the bottom land. Coles didn't quite see the lowering of the lake to be in their interest or to their advantage, so the family took the Barry County Drain Commissioner and the other interested parties to court. The attorneys for tie Coles argued that “Thomapple Lake had been used for floating logs whenever there were logs to float and occasion to float them." They contended, "as long as there was timber in the vicinity, it was floated upon the lake, and in the early days timber was brought down the tributaries, not only to a boom and mill upon the lake, but also down the outlet to a mill situated at Quimby a mile or two below the lake and it had been navigated since by thousands in steam boats and skiffs." The Supreme Court of Michigan held that “Thomapple Lake being navigable and the drain being admittedly in­ tended to lower the ordinary level of the lake four feet is forbidden by the statutes. This decision caused hard­ ships for the farmers, but was hailed as a success for Cole's Landing." Now all that is left of Cole's Landing is the dance hall, now a skating rink. The hotel burned in 1946. There are no trains, no tracks, no toboggan slide. The skating rink is the only reminder of times gone by when on a hot Sunday you could swim, ride on the steamer and picnic. Now puntoon boats and outboard motors ply the river and people go to Charlton Park for a day's en­ tertainment, not to Cole’s Landing. Hastings student receives degree from BSU .on vacation!

Forester to visit county woodlots Fred Wuerthele, Dept, of Natural Resources area forester, will be in Barry County on Wednesday, August 15, to visit private woodlots. Donna Wohlford, of the Barry Soil and Water Conservation District, pointed out that he has not been in the county since the first of the year to visit and answer questions of the private woodlot owners. The district en­ courages those who need some advise to call the office at 948-8038 and make an ap­ pointment. Autographs, documents and publications of the Third Reich are three of the most important areas in military collecting. More than any other artifacts, the documents and books from the period illuminate how the Nazis perceived themselves and demonstrate how they presented their ideology to Germany and to the world. Nothing evokes a more vivid im­ pression of life in Germany between 1933 and 1945 than the printed records of the time. Despite the historical significance of printed materials from the Third Reich, until recently most collectors ignored them. Paper goods are valued for this historical content, not their aesthetic appeal. Unlike a gleaming edged weapon, a typewritten letter must be prized for what it represents, not for how it looks. Collectors who wanted flashy, displayable artifacts purchased daggers, medals, uniforms and firearms, not scraps of paper. To understand the significance of books and documents, a collector must possess a sophisticated view of German history between 1900 and 1945. Fur­ thermore, collecting maniscripts and printed items requires at least a fair reading knowledge of the German language. Few collectors possess these requirements, and consequently few of them pursue Nazi books and documents. Within the last ten years, collectors have become aware of the importance of Third Reich documents. Autographs and publications appear often in an­ tique shops and auction houses, and occasionally at antique shows. Un­ fortunately, many novices do not distinguish one document from another, and presume that anything from the Nazi era has great monetary value. Certificates awarding military citations or decorations are the most popular, and common, Third Reich documents. Most medals, badges and decorations were accompanied by award certificates. These documents were partly printed with the name of the award and often an illustration of it. The recipient's name, rank, organization and date of award were accompanied in ink or with a typewriter. The signature of an officer (sometimes more than one) validated the document. Documents may bear blindstamped seals or ink stamps from the organization to which the individual receiving the award belonged. The certificate rendered for the Knight's Cross, a higher version of the Iron Cross, was the most beautiful military award document made during the Third Reich era. The Knight’s Cross was awarded to several thousand enlisted German men and officers during the Second World War for ex­ ceptional bravery and achievements. The document was call!graphed on vellum in black and gold ink, with the recipient's name boldly executed in large letters. The document was signed at the conclusion by Adolf Hitler in his capacity as supreme commander of the German armed forces. Many official documents were ren­ dered on plain stationery identified by a letterhead or seal. Promotions and appointments were usually coun­ tersigned by an officer from the "Nice try.

Thus, an appointment to a government post in German-occupied Poland may be signed by Hans Frank (military governor) and Heinrich Himmler (Minister of the Interior). Similarly, an appointment of a Luft­ waffe officer will bear the signature of Hermann Goring. Rather than collecting award or official documents exclusively, some collectors desire any forms of document autographed by leading figures in the history of Nazi Germany. Autographs are available in many forms. Of all the top Nazis, Adolf Hitler is the most popular among collectors. Hitler’s autograph is not rare, but it is desirable. Typically, Hitler is collected in the signed document form. Personal letters entirely in Hitler's hand are rare. He did not enjoy writing letters after he became a public figure, and most of his handwritten letters date from about 1910 to 1920. Photographs signed by Hitler or bearing a one or two line inscription appear on the collectors market occasionally. These were usually signed in person upon the request of the owner of the photograph. Hitler also presented inscribed photographs to favorites of his. This gift consisted of a photograph inscribed with a sentiment and dated by Hitler. The photo was presented in a handsome silver frame, which was accompanied by a stiff board case These presen­ tation photographs were usually bestowed upon Germans but a few foreigners did receive them. Autographs of Hitler’s intimates are also valued by collectors. Signatures most in demand are those of Rudolf Hess, Martin Bormann, Hermann Goring and Heinrich Himmler. The outwardly demure but powerful Himmler has captured the fascination of many collectors. At the time of his greatest influence, Himmler had total, personal control ever the SS, police and security forces in Germany and in all occupied countries. In addition, he commanded the Waffen-SS, an elite political army that fielded several hundred thousand men. Many historians have ranked Himmler’s power as second only to Hitler’s. Himmler's autograph is available in typed letters and memos, inscribed books, and documents awarding honor rings and swords. Autographs of German military heroes are in demand, and without doubt the most sought after signature is that of Field Marshal Erwin Rommel. Letters signed by him while com­ mander of the Afrika Korps are par­ ticularly desirable Jews were forced to carry a Jewish identity card at all times. It contained the individual's name, city of residence, photo, date and place of birth, and fingerprints. The cards were distinguished by a large yellow “J" on the front cover and first page of the card. These cards, of course, were also signed by high-ranking German of­ ficers. Signatures of Hitler on documents dated 1945 show marks of his physical deterioration. The attempts on his life in 1944 and multiple military disasters contributed to his physical decline. �The Hastings Banner Thursday. August 9. 19B4 — Page 7 Art Meade womens softball team soaring toward title played in high school so they know what they're doing. “I don't have to say much, just make out the lineup." The team includes a young infield in first baseman Sue Stack, second baseman Lisa Wingeier, shortstop Kelly Yarger and third baseman Karen Dimond. The outfield includes Bonny Moody, Laura Hause. Cindy Curtis. Cheryl England, Sheila Morway, and Lane Hunt. Kathy Dalman usually pitches and Deb Dingman is the catcher. The team, as Karpinski says, is a veteran outfit. Dalman and Yarger were members of last year's state Class B champion Rodee's team. Moody plays in three womens and one co-ed softball league, and Hause was one of the best infielders in the Twin Valley last spring. Karpinski pon:*s to the experience as the major reason for tl»e 12-0 mark. “We were fortunate to get a few good players right off the bat,” he says. "Then we added a few other good players through connections with the girls." John Karpinski says it’s as easy as showing up with the bats and balls, penning the lineup into a scorebook, and then pointing 10 very talented softball players to Ute field. So far that formula has notched the Art Meade Auto team, managed by Karpinski, 12 straight wins in the Hastings womens softball league. In those 12 wins the team has racked up some credible statistics. For example, only three times has the team been taken to the maximun seven innings. You want offense? Three times the team has scored over 30 runs and is probablyaveraging 20 runs per game. The only real tests came in a hard-earned 9-8 win over Cappons and an 8-5 decision over Hastings Manufacturing. All this from a young, first year team which average player age is close to 23 years old. Karpinski contends the age factor means virtually nothing when considering this group. “Most of these girls have been playing ball four or five years," says Karpinski.

The proposal carried, but only by a dose 1751 to 1512 margin. Supporters for the measure included all levels of local government involved in the allocation process— county, K-12 schools, the 16 townships, and the Intermediate School District. Townships turning down the proposal were Yankee Springs, Orangeville, Prairieville, Assyria, and Baltimore. The strongest support came from the City of Hastings, Castleton, Woodland, Hope, and Rutland Townships. The remaining townships supported the proposition, but ‘ ‘ by closer margins. CLOSED SUNDAYS!

An ll-month-old Freeport girl was killed Thursday evening after being struck with a car by a family member. Deputy Robert Abendrouth of the Barry County Sheriff Department said that the child was on a blanket near her parents, Faron and Cathy Hughes, at the family home on Wood School Road. The Hugheses were sorting household items for a yard sale, and were sitting around a picnic table near the girl, and there were items for sale around the table. Abendrouth said. The deputy said a family member, whom he identified as an uncle, drove into the yard and pulled up to the picnic table, hitting the infant with a front tire. The incident occured about 6 p.m. The parents drove their daughter to Pennock Hospital, where she was pronounced dead a short^.time after arrival, a hospital spokesman said. 11 Michigan Supremo Court Justice Patricia Boyle demonstrated a personable style when she spoke to a group of women in Hastings. Upon entering the Moose Hall, she strolled around the room, greeting each person in the audionce and afterwards (as shown In the photo) took time to chat to individuals, like Regina Stein and her mother, Regina LaPorte of Linwood, about a variety of topics. Women should help powerless, justice says By Elaine Gilbert It is the responsibility of women who have achieved power to help those who have less power. Michigan Supreme Court Justice Patricia Boyle told a Hastings audience of about 30 women. Boyle spoke at a Monday morning meeting sponsored by the Hastings Women's Club and the Pennock Hospital Auxiliary Board with assistance from the local chapter of the American Association of University Women. Appointed to the Supreme Court in April 1983, she is seeking election to her post in the November election. She gave up a lifetime appointment as a federal district court judge in Detroit to accept the Supreme Court ap­ pointment from Gov. James Blanchard. Boyle also is a former prosecutor in Detroit. During her talk, she discussed the challenges that face women in their personal lives and the work force and emphasized the financial hardships which burden many single women. “We, as women who have been more fortunate, must commit ourselves to the notions that solutions must be found and individuals, not government, are the ones who will find them, Boyle said. "We have reached a point, I think, in this country where we understand that govern­ ment can no longer continue to underwrite the costs for solutions for all of our social problems." "People simply committed to helping other people" is the solution for some of the economic and social problems of today, she said. "We may have come a long way. but women still have a long way to go. As citizens ana as women I think we have an obligation to use our best efforts to help all women help themselves. Together we can meet the challenges facing us today and in the future." When asked what ordinary women can do help others in the Barry County area, Boyle suggested investigating the possibility of establishing a women's resource center which might provide such services as job training, help in securing employment and child care by volunteers. She said the small community of Petoskny has a thriving women's resource center that is operating without federal or state funds because of volunteer contributions. In a lighter vein, Boyle talked about her experiences in juggling family and professional roles and realizing that everything can't be done perfectly. She said her choice to pursue her career has meant sometimes doing the laundry at 4 a.m., Continuod on pogo 2 By Elaine Gilbert The DeHon Kellogg School District has been named as "one of IQ-critical school districts in the state," Superintendent Dr. John Sanders told the board of education at its Monday meeting. Sanders said be received notification of the district's status in a letter from State Superintendent of Public Instruction Phillip E. Runkel. The Delton district was placed on the critical list, Sanders said, because Runkel noted that the district could face serious financial difficulty if voters reject Satur­ day's millage proposal for 24.1-mills. Sanders said Runkel is concerned that the district might not be able to provide IBtkdays of quality education. In the letter, Runkel urged citizens in the Delton district to otudy and understand the millage issue and vote in this Saturday’s election. At stake is 75-percent of the school district's operating funds. * Delton voters, onSaturday, will be asked to approve a three-mill tax hike that is in­ corporated into a 24.1 millage proposal. The request includes a 21.1 mill renewal, a 2-mill increase for operations and a 1-mill increase for capita] improvements for two years. Voters defeated that same request for three years in the annual June election. Based on the state aid formula, the millage hike would generate approximately $320,000 for the coming year which school officials have said is essential to maintain current programs to off-set the loss of funds from a decline in enrollment of 140-students and meet increased costs of operation due to inflation. School officials also point out that approval of the millage will enable local students to receive a quality education to keep them competitive with those from other neigh­ boring districts. In the area of improvements, additional millag? would provide funds for computer terminals and instructional software, typewriters, updated textbooks and equip­ ment for social studies and science curriculums in grades 1-6, development of a career guidance program at the high school, a new school bus, other teaching tools and supplies, and building maintainace and repair costs. Counseling services also would be ex­ panded if the millage is approved. Securing additional counselors was specified as a top priority recently in a study Of needs by a citizens' committee. "It's important that people do come to the polls on Saturday — especially parents of our youth,” said Dr. John Sanders, Delton schools superintendent. The 24.1 mills on the ballot represents “a major chunk of our money — three-fourths of our operating funds,” he said. Passage of the millage is vital to the continuance of quality educational programs, said Sanders. Without the extra-voted millage the district would run out of funds by early November because the district only has eight-allocated mills from the county and a carry-over from the 1983-84 budget with which to operate. If approved, the additional three-mill tax would mean taxpayers would pay an extra $3 per year for each $1,000 of their property's State Equalized Valuation (SEV). Sanders has said the board decided to hold the millage election on a Saturday for the first time to hopefully improve the voter turnout. Voting machines also will be used for the first time rather than paper ballots at Saturday’s election. The polls will be open from 7 a.m. to 8 p.m. in the elementary gymnasium. City saves *6,000 with new insurance by Ken Reibel The City of Hastings expanded its liability and property insurance coverage, and saved $6,000 in insurance premiums, in action taken by the city council Monday night. Council voted to switch insurance carriers after hearing from Insurance Committee Chairperson Mary Lou Gray that the city is currently not protected against civil rights suits and certain acts committed by its employees. The new carrier, the Meadowbrook In­ surance Group, is a municipal liability and property pool, sponsored through the Michigan Municipal League. It is comprised of some 77 municipalities which combine their funds to provide loss coverage. Gray said the two biggest reasons for going with Meadowbrook are for coverage of suits arising out of the Section 1983 Civil Rights Act, and for suits arising from "intentional acts” committed by city employees. Larry Ainslie, assistant city attorney, said these types of suits against municipalities are "in vogue" on the eastern side of the state, and that be anticipates such actions to spread to this side as well. "It’s a different type of environment on this side of thestate," said Ainslie. "We have a large number of cities where the public Continuod on pogo 2 Education will improve image, Boyle by Robert J. Johnston Justice Patricia Boyle told Hastings Rotarians, Monday, that education on ethics rather than the on technical side of winning court cases will help improve the image of lawyers in the public eye. Boyle, a justice of the Michigan Supreme Court since April 1983 and running for election to her seat in November, made two speeches in Hastings, Monday, and attended a reception sponsored by the Barry County Bar Association. "As a class," she said, "lawyers are perceived as money hungry hustlers who view a lawsuit as the solution to every problem." She added that behind that generalization is a grain of truth. Lawyers, Boyle said, should be healers of human conflict rather than fermenters of conflict. She charged that some lawyers have lost sight of the ultimate goal of the legal system — the ascertainment of truth and the ad­ vancement of justice. Boyle said that the entire legal education system has abandoned moral values as part of the educational process. She said that. instead, the legal education has an emphksis on technique, how to bargain and how too win. "There is too little emphasis on seeing that justice is done,” she said. "In order to return the profession to honor and respect.” she continued, "lawyers have to devote more effort to the task of preparing lawyers to earn honor and respect." She called the legal institution a moral force in society and said that respect for the courts and rule of law is the linchpin of the legal system. Politicking ok’d on county property by Steve Horton Barry County's Board of Commissioners decided Tuesday to allow political literature on county property, despite some complaints which were received. They also moved to have a rack or tabic set up in the courthouse for use by the public to display political literature and other information. Commissioner Theodore McKelvey (RNashville* said that there had been com­ plaints about campaign signs in the parking lot and about signs and literature in county offices. He said that he had also received a resolution, which he gave to the other commissioners, asking that political signs and literature be prohibited in county buildings. The resolution though did not mention parking lots. Reasoning behind the request for a ban, as staled in the resolution, was that the buildings are public property and are used by "all" citizens. Commissioner Rae Hoare (D-Prairieville) said she did not see a need for the resolution. "There's never been an objection (about this) voiced before." she said. “We should make a statement to the offices and maybe set up a table or rack which gives equal access to the public. Something anyone could use." Hoare added that she had talked with the prosecutor's office about prohibiting signs in the parking lot. "I was told that there was no way we could enforce this," she said. Other commissioners concurred with Hoare’s suggestion of setting up either a table or rack. "I fee) the courthouse should have this type of thing (political literature),” said Carolyn Coleman (R-Hastings). Bernard Hammond (D-Hastings) added that “it could have political or informational items that would be on display to the public on a suitable table or rack". The decision on which type of display to set up was turned over to the commission's property committee with power to act.

August 16. 1984 VIEWPOINT Maple Valley voters asked to approve 2-year, 4-mill increase Commentaries from our editorial staff and the community — Editorial: Courthouse politick!ng: Make it open to all Barry County commissioners took a step in the right direction, Tuesday, when they agreed to set up a central location in the county courthouse for campaign literature. Politicking in the courthouse is to be expected. It is natural for the people who gain their livelihoods from elections to want to campaign for their offices from their natural forum. However, it seems unfair to us for the incumbents in office and those they support to be the only ones with access to the citizens doing business in the courthouse. Providing a central place to disperse campaign literature is a good solution to the problem. We could see the problem coming to light for a long time. The courthouse has been a Republican stronghold as long as anyone can remember. But today, the county Democrats are becoming in­ creasingly active and they are planning to run some strong campaigns for county offices this fall. They don’t want to be shut out from access to the many politically active people who do business at the cour­ thouse. The original proposal before the commissioners was to ban cam­ paign literature from county buildings completely. This solution was not adopted and we agree with commissioners who felt that the courthouse and other county buildings are natural places for cam­ paign literature. The commission should go one step further and set some rules on the type of literature being dispersed. Certainly the courthouse should not be littered by large posters and the like. Small brochures and handouts would be adequate for any candidate. Being an incumbent officeholder is a powerful asset for anyone seeking reelection, but limiting campaign literature to incumbents and those they support would make incumbency even stronger. By opening up the courthouse to campaign literature from incumbents and their challengers, the public is assured of better access to in­ formation and an election process that is more fair to all. Asst, principal named for Delton Middle School The Delton-Kellogg School Board has appointed Carolyn Nycum to sene as assistant principal of the middle school. She replaces Willard Baker who resigned from the post. Nycum s duties will include coordinating the federally funded Chapter I program In the elementary and middle schools Nycum has been with the Delton School District for the past 164-years, employed as an elementary teacher and assistant elementary principal. At her request, she went back to the classroom last year and taught fourth grade but was one of five teachers to receive lay-off notices in June. In other business, the board accepted the resignation of third grade teacher Martha Leach who also had been laid off in June. She has accepted a position as a sixth grade reading teacher in the Thornapple Kellogg School District in Middleville. The retirement of Lee Herbert, elemen tary custodian for the past 10-ycars, was also approved by board members. School Superintendent Dr. John Sanders reported that the progress of the district’s energy conservation project is slower than originally anticipated. New windows are expected to arrive next week for the elementary and middle schools. The board approved the cost of $3,800 from its energy project contingency fund to order pneumatic piping which is part of the tem­ perature control system in the elementary building. The additional piping was necessary because of the interior deterioration of existing piping which was installed in 1936. Classic autos at park Classy classics!

Maple Valley school district voters who in June rejected two proposed millage hikes, will have an opportunity to reconsider their decision next month. A Sept. 12 ballot will ask for an additional four mills for two years (1984-85) for operational expenses. In the June election, a graduated operational increase was sought. That proposal would have granted a 3.5 mill hike in 1984. then raising it to 4.5 mills in 1985. Voters defeated that measure 431 to 330. Also rejected on the June ballot was a proposal calling for a */>mill for a period of two years to finance extracurricular activities. Scheduling of the September election was approved by resolution of the Maple Valley Board of Education at a special meeting on July 25. Board members Paula Coe. Wayne Cogswell, Merle Marlin and David Hawkins approved the move, while it was opposed by Irma Gene Baker and Ronaid Tobias. Board president Dale Ossenheimer, Jr. was not present at the meeting. The action was taken in response to a request by a group of parents and other in­ terested citizens, said Superintendent Carroll J. Wolff. "Concern was expressed by people in the audience regarding program reductions in recent years, along with the future educational program outlook for Maple Valley schools considering the defeat of the millage in June " noted Wolff. He said that one of the primary needs now is to expand the computer program at the junior-senior high level and also in Uw elementary grades. "The way the state aid act was written this year, to qualify for additional aid per student by 1985-86 we must offer a one-semester credit course in com­ puters," explained Wolff. This, he pointed out, will require additional equipment, as well as special electrical wiring at the high school. "Additional computer equipment needs to be purchased at all grade levels, providing more op­ portunity for students to such equipment," added Wolff. He said that computers now in use in the elementary grades were donated by the local Parent-Teacher Organization or acquired by the school through special grant funds. Another major concern regarding operational expenses, in addition to rising costs of textbooks, supplies and utilites, said Wolff, is the need for two counselors: an additional one of the junior-senior high school and one for the elementary grades. "There is a real concern (at the elemen- tary level)." noted Wolff. "For many years we had two full-time counselors (in the school system)." He said that the Maple Valley School District has been cited by the University of Michigan for violation of the code for accreditation because of counselor understaffing. Wolff noted that criteria set by the U of M requires a certain counselor­ student ratio and, by those standards, Maple Valley should have two full-time counselors for the current jr.-sr. high enrollment of 775 students. Wolff also expressed concern about rising utility costs, and especially how a proposed Consumers Power rate hike would affect the school’s operational budget. That budget for 1984-85 is $3.75 million with a $295,000 deficit The proposed lax increase would generate about $400,000 annually. City buys civil rights, liability protection Continued from page 1 officials are not quite as faceless as they may be in a larger city." He said civil rights suits arise from a provision in the U.S. Code which authorizes certain civil actions to be taken against municipalities where “Somebody is aggrieved by the action of the municipality." Ainslie said the Civil Rights Act was originally passed in the 1880s, and recently expanded by U.S. Courts to include torts performed by city employees. He gave as an example an auto accident caused by a city employee, where it might be alleged that the employee was not properly screened prior to employment. “Such action could be brought under a number of theories...Basically, the city is potentially liable when an person, acting under the color of state action, violates a federally protected civil right." He said such a right could include a citizen's right to have a qualified, properly screened driver at the wheel ofa city vehicle. Ainslie said such actions also include, but are not limited to, racial discrimination, adding "It involves anything encompassed by the term ’civil rights’." The second type of coverage afforded by Meadowbrook is for intentional acts com­ mitted by public employees and officials, where the city may be held liable. Anslle said JlJStiCG BoylC, continued buying “with great guilt" instead of baking cookies for a child’s treat day at school, and rarely serving dinner on lime. "Underneath the upbeat images of this decade as the decade of liberation, women as a class have been steadily losing ground," Boyle said. Although women have made many recent advancements, at the same time the "phenomenon described as the feminization of poverty" has come into being, she said. According to 1982 statistics, two out of every three adults who fall into the federal definition of poverty are women, Boyle continued. Morelhan one-half of the families defined as poor by the government are maintained by single women. “The National Advisory Council on Economic Opportunity has predicted that, all things being equal, if the proportion of the poor in female householder families was to continue to increase at the same rate that it did from 1957 to 1978, the poverty population would be comprised solely of women and their children before the year 2000," she said. The reasons for poverty among single women are complex and numerous, Boyle Wed. She said one of the major forces is the phenomenon of the displaced homemaker (widowed, separated or divorced) who is "attempting to raise her children on meager financial resourses. If she’s been awarded child support, she has acute difficulty collecting it Less than half of the women who receive custody of their children receive their full court-ordered support. And almost one-quarter receive nothing.” Traditionally, the displaced homemaker has no marketable skills and often Community Births IT’S A GIRL Ronald and Valerie Birman, Hastings, August 9. 10:15 a.m., 7 lbs. 12 ozs.

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.

Problems that confront the displaced homemaker are compounded by what Boyle called occupational segregation. “Il is a fact that more women are now employed outside their home than any other time in the history of the country. Women make up more than 50-percent of the work­ force, but it's also a fact that more than 80percent of the work force are concentrated in low paying, low status jobs...As of 1980, women only earned 59-cents for every one dollar earned by a man. "The plight of the displaced homemaker Is added to by the absence of relatively inex­ pensive child care," said Boyle. She said there are not enough government-subsidized day care centers to fill the needs. The plight of the displaced homemaker is a vicious circle, she said, because a job is not necessarily the cure for being poor, like it often is for a man. This is because of the low pay many women receive because of their lack of marketable skills and the high proportion of their earnings which must be spent for child care. Boyle told the Hastings audience that being committed individuals who are willing to help "means that we have to be open and receptive to new ways of economic and social change" which entails a willinginess to make sacrifices. "The care of children must ultimately be a responsibility of all of us and not just the responsibility of individual women... “Our 35th President said, ‘If a free society cannot help the many who are poor it cannot save the few who are rich.' I think thoee words are as fitting today as when they were said 20-years ago — perhaps more so," said Boyle. such acts go beyond negligence. He said the majority of intentional act suits arise from police actions. He gave as an example a police officer “shooting an in­ dividual for no law enforcement reason", but merely to settle a personal grudge. Ainslie said the coverage is provided ex­ clusively for the city, and not for the in­ dividual who commits the act Ainslie said intentional act suits are rare, but the coverage is necessary. "The risks are minimal, but the potential award may be mammoth," he said. He called the coverage "A specialized field in insurance." Councilmember Gray said the city will pay $32,166 yearly in premiums to Meadowbrook. She said the closest bid from a local agent is $38,600. The change in carriers comes one week before the old policy is up for renewal. The new coverage will become effective Aug. 19. Aiderman Gordon Fuhr cast the lone no vote against the switch, explaining "I want to see as many things as possible kept in town.” The Coleman Insurance Agency of Hastings, underwriter for the old policy, parceled out coverage to a number of dif­ ferent insurance companies. “We gave the local agencies consideration, but we got better coverage with Meadowbrook," said Gray. “There were some tough decisions to be made, but I feel that our responsibility is to the city." “The average independent agent is not equipped to handle municipal coverage,” said Gray. “Insuring a city is not the same as insuring a motorcycle or a boat. Gray said that 85 percent of the premiums paid to Meadowbrook will stay in Michigan, but only 10 to 15 percent of the premiums paid to an independent agent remains in­ state. “Coleman has given us many years of satisfactory claim coverage, but most of that money goes out of state," she said. Pool coverage offers many pluses Besides a lower premium, and aouiuonal coverage, the Michigan Municipal League (MML) program provides a number of bonuses not supplied by independent in­ surance agents, according to information released by the city council’s insurance committee chairperson. Following are some of the biggest dif­ ferences afforded by the two groups: — The MML pool is member owned and directed, and administration is centralized, being provided by a professional service company. The independent agent contracts with a number of different insurance com­ panies on an as-needed basis. — MML pool members may receive dividends back. No dividends are available to independent insurance customers. Likewise, all investment income is returned to pool members. Regular insurance com­ panies keep their investment income. — A pool board of directors have the final authorization on large claims. With an in­ dependent agent, the insured municipality has no direct input on claim settlement. PUBLIC OPINION Who should pay? LETTERS to the Editor. Chod Livingston Mike Houston Nancy James Irwn. Meoda James McMellen Jock Batchelor Jane Poula Benefits of electricity cited To the Editor: I read your editorial in The Banner this week and thought I would write why I feel what 1 spend for electricity is well spent. When I was four years old, our family had a fire. Shortly after that, my father con­ tacted the Thornapple Gas and Electric Company and we had gas and electricity installed in our home. What impressed me most was nobody had to carry a lamp from one room to another. It is true my mother did not have all the time-savers she had in future years, but none of her friends had them either. We did have a non-eleclric icebox which was filled every other day with ice, the cost about $1 a week. Here are a few things I enjoy from the electricity we pay for. On stormy days I can push a button in the car and the garage door opens; I can turn a dial and the furnace comes on. I can place the laundry in the washer and it is done in a few minutes. In a few minutes more the laundry is dry. I have covered only a few things and perhaps readers of this letter might enjoy making a list of what electricity does for them; I made a list of 45 things. If the rate The Banner mentioned goes through, my bill will increase 23 cents a day. I have no desire to go back to the “good old days". Keith Yerty Hastings, Michigan Don Payne QUESTION: Consumers Power Co recently filed a 15year, $7 billion rate increase with the Public Services Commission. If approved, the in­ crease will mean a 35 percent jump in Consumer's customers' monthly bills. Company officials say the increase is needed to offset the multi-billion dollar loss created by the closing of the Midland nuclear power plant. Do you feel the public should pay for the loss of the plant? Chad Livingston, Hastings: "No. That's their problem, not ours. Electricity is too high. Gas too.” Mike Houston, Nashville: “It’s not the electrical users who should be paying for the ride. We don’t subsidize a business or cor­ poration for a management mistake." Nancy James. Hastings: “Absolutely not. 1 don’t go for it. It’s big business. That's the chance you lake." Jane Poula. Delton: "I pay a lot for electricity now. No, 1 don't want to pay any more." Iren.- Meade, Hastings- “I don't think we should have to pay for it. Why should we pay for the mistake they made? This would hit the retirees awfully hard.’’ James McMellen. Hastings. “No, way should the public pay and be responsible for their mismanagement." Jack Batchelor. St. Johns: "No, I sure don't. We didn't fail at that, they did...Il's not right because we don't have any choice...we should have a choice." Dan Payne. Hastings: "I think it stinks. I don't think it's fair to pay extra for that It costs loo much already. When I moved into a mobile home, my bill was $25 last year, then it went up to $75 and we haven't done anything different." �Thursday. August 16. 1984.

Thirty-five members of Woodland Food Co-op met in Herald Classic Memorial Park last Tuesday evening to discuss new officers and changing rules about working or paying an extra markup. It was reported to the members that July sales had been slightly over S2.00G. while monthly sales had been running between $2,600 and $3,500 the rest of the year. Expenses go on no matter how low the sales drop. President Martha Cristy reported that co­ ops all over Michigan arc having similar problems. A committee was appointed to study and perhaps rewrite bylaws of the organization so that an attempt can be made to raise the volume of sales at the co-op by lowerin’ penalties to non-workers.

Kruzka-Burdick exchange wedding vows Coone-Case engagement told Joann Marie Knuka and John Lynn Burdick were united in marriage on June 23 at 4 p.m. at Mt. Olive Church in Walkzr. Rev. A. C. Krueger performed the ceremony before an altar decorated with lighted white tapers, blue and white carnations, accented with baby's breath. Parents of the couple are Donald and Dorothy Kruzka of Walker and Gary and Audrey Burdick of Hastings. The bride wore a floor-length gown of lace and tulle over satin with scalloped sweetheart neckline, sprinkled with irridescenl paillettes and seed pearls and wrist-length lace sleeves. The tulle skirt was overlaid with wide-lace front panels with scalloped lace sweeping back, forming a full­ chapel train. The dress and pearls worn by the bride were those worn by the groom's mother nearly 27 years ago. The pearls were a gift from the groom's father. The veil of French silk illusion fell from a cap of embroiderd lace. The bride carried a cascade of white roses and blue cat nations with streamers of lovers knots. The maid of honor was Diane Fuller of Grandville. Her floor-length dress was bright, ocean blue chiffon with long sleeves cuffed in lace. She carried a bouquet of blue and white carnations with lace and streamers. Bridesmaids were Maureen Dixon of Grand Rapids, sister of the bride, and Kim Horton from Caledonia. They all wore dresses and carried flowers identical to the maid of honor. The flower girl was Michelle Marsh, cousin of the groom. Michelle's dress was white organza with blue rosebuds and she carried a basket of blue and white noseg'ays. Tim Lowe of Middleville was best man. Jim Burdick, brother of the groom, and Ernie Carpenter of Lansing were groom­ smen. Seating the guests were Bob Dixon, brother-in-law of the bride, and Don Marsh, cousin of the groom. Ringbearer was Jonathan Dixon, nephew of the bride. They all wore navy tuxedos with blue vests and accents. The organist was Mrs. Krueger and singing a duet were the bride's twin sisters, Jean and Jane Kruzka. The master and mistress of ceremony were Dick and Ardith Hart of Hastings, uncle and aunt of the groom, assisted by Charlene and Jim Blondia of Grand Rapids, cousins of the bride. The reception was held immediately following the ceremony at the local Knights of Columbus Hall where the blue and white theme of flowers and butterflies decorated the walls and tables. Sisters of the bride, Jane and Jean Kruzka, cut and served the five-tiered wedding cake. Special guests were Mrs. Agatha Kruzka and Mrs. Wanda Glaz, both of Grand Rapids, grandmothers of the bride, and Mr. and Mrs. Linwood Burdick of Hastings and Mrs. Margaret Shook of Lake Odessa, grand­ parents of the groom. The couple honeymooned on Mackinaw Island and in northern Michigan before returning to their new home at Sandy Knolls in Middleville. The groom is a graduate of Texas A & M Electronics Institute. Mr. Burdick has been employed by Lear Sigler since March of 1979 where the couple met; the bride being a draftsperson for that firm. Mr. and Mrs. Larry Coone of 122 N. 31st.

Unless you are absolutely sure of your gauge and canning methods, boil home-canned low-acid foods before lasting. Bring vegetables to a rolling boil. Cover and boil for 10 minutes. Boil spinach and corn 20 minutes. Boil meats and poultry 20 minutes. Boil fish 15 minutes. Belling destroys botulism toxin. There are two types of pressure canners: the dial gauge and the weighted gauge. It is a good idea to have a dial gauge checked for accuracy each year. A weighted gauge does not gel out of adjustment and does not need to be checked. Before using yor pressure canner, read the instruction booklet that comes with it Here are a few pointers for using any pressure canner. 1) Put two or three inches of boiling water in the bot­ tom of the canner. 2) Set jars on rack in canner. If two layers of ja-s are put in canner. use a rack between them. Stagger the second layer. 31 Fasten canner cover securely so that no steam can escape except through vent < pressure regulator or weighted gauge opening). 4 • Watch until steam pours steadily from vent. Let is escape for 10 minutes before putting on the pressure regulator or weighted gauge. This step is called "ven­ ting". Venting drives all of the air out of the canner. During processing, the canner must be filled with steam — not air — since it is steam that reaches 240 degreees F. al 10 pounds pressure. No matter what the manufacturer of your pressure canner says, vent it! 5) If your canner has a dial gauge, bring it up quickly to eight pounds pressure, then adjust the burner to hold it steadily at 10 pounds. Start counting the processing time when the gauge reaches 10 pounds pressure. If your canner has a weighted gauge, it will jiggle or rock when 10 pounds Continued on page 6 • Engraving O Watch Repair Certified Watln Maker ’ HODGES JEWELRY Tour Full Service Depair Center 122 W State St. Hastings Ph. 945 2963 TKORNBPPLE M1LH FAMILY PHYSICIANS.

The spores can survive hours of boiling but are destroyed in a short time at 240 degrees F.. the temperature in a pressure canner at 10 pounds pressure. That's why the only safe way to process lowacid foods is in a pressure canner al 10 pounds pressure for the recommended time. If low-acid foods are processed at 10 pounds pressure for less than the recommended time or if they are processed in a boiling waler bath, the spores of botulism-producing bacteria can survive. Inside a sealed jar, these spores germinate to produce actively growing bacteria. As the bacteria grow, they make a deadly toxin which causes botulism food poisoning. It is possible for canned low-acid foods to contain botulism toxin without showing signs of spoilage. To avoid any risk of botulsim, ,t is essential that the pressure canner be in perfect order and that every canning recommendation he followed BIG WHEEL layaway Due to educational budget cuts that af­ fect school purchases, A FAMILY SEWING CENTER has been authorized to offer to the public a limited number of school, model 1984 White zigzag sewing machines.

Carolyn Dooley Frequent visits to Grandmother's house had an impact on Carolyn Dooley's baking abilities. “When I was in the elementary grades. I went to a county school and I had to go by my grandmother's house to and from school and 1 knew what days Grandma baked," smiles Carolyn. “Grandma had a way with yeast. And she never measured a thing, noteven the liquid." Carolyn certainly has a 'way with yeast' too. Her sweet dough rolls and whole wheat bread, for instancr have been blue ribbon winners at the Barry County Fair and other area fairs. Sl»** has also been honored twice this summer for her overall homemaking skills. Carolyn was selected "Homemaker of the Year” at the Lake Odessa Fair and then a few weeks later was picked as the second runner-up in the Champion Homemaker contest at the Barry County Fair. Dick Evans also interviewed her about her baking expertise several years ago for his "On the Michigan Road” series for Channel 8. She credits her mother as well as her grandmother for her cooking and baking skills and praises her family for supporting her. "It was their idea that I do these things," she said of winning the homemaker honors. “Without their encouragement, I would not try for anything." Carolyn has been taking a variety of open class entries to the Barry County Fair since 1971 and showing at the Ionia Fair since 1968. She has shoeboxes full of ribbons for her efforts and has earned enough money in premiums to pay for the cost of materials for a deck and sliding glass door for her family’s home, located on a farm on Darby Rd. near Clarksville. At this summer's Barry County Fair, Carolyn received a special green and white “Sweepstakes Ribbon" for receiving the most blue ribbons in the open class. She netted 27-first place blue ribbons; seven second-place ribbons and three third-place honors for entries primarily in home economics categories (canning, baking, crocheting, and painting). "Over the years. I've done embroidery and other craft items. I work on them in the winter. I do canvas (oil) painting and country tolle-type painting. Another bobby she enjoys is refinishing old furniture. Some pieces she refurbishes are used to provide extra storage space in the family farmhouse. Being involved with her family is number one on her list. "We like to fish, go swimming in the pool and play volleyball. “A lot of our fun times are right here when we’re working around the farm. Fairs are a big recreation too." said Carolyn. She and her husband, Myron, and their family have been involved in dairy farming for about nine years, since moving to their present home. Carolyn has four daughters — Lynn, Sue, Cheryl, and Janette — and fourstepchildren — Tom. Ron, Kathy and Ed. There are five-g'andchildren. A native of Alto, Carolyn attended a high school in Lowell for two years and then graduated from Lake Odessa High School (before it was called Lakewood). Besides helping with chores on the family farm, Carolyn finds time to help promote dairy products at fairs and other occasions, works with the Lakewood Future Farmers Association.and has been a volunteer for local cancer society fund drives. With the Fraternal Order of Eagles Auxiliary in Woodland, she has served as an outside guard and has been a trustee the past year. Bowling is an activity she pursues and she also serves as her league's sergeant-at-arms and was a past secretary. The following recipe for sweet dough is one that includes Carolyn’s own variations of a basic recipe from a cookbook. Like her grandmother, she says she doesn't measure flour, but has attempted to do so for this column. "One of the biggest mistakes people make is that they add too much flour and over­ handle the dough. I only knead mine until it’s smooth. Some people over-bake it and that uzies the stuff out." Carolyn’s Dough for Coffee Cake or Sweet Rolls Scald two-cups of milk. Then add >4-cup sugar, 2-teaspoonssaltand 4-cup shortening to the hot milk. Stir the mixture to melt the shortening and dissolve the sugar and salt. Cool until just warm (115-degrees). Add 2packages of dry yeast dissolved in 4-cup warm water. Then add 2-eggs and about 4cups of flour. Beat until well blended. (Add enough flour — approximately four or five cups to make a soft dough).

There's something so satisfying in hunting for a particular collectible, arranging it in order, researching it, and just thinking about it in relationship to its origin, that it's almost impossible to explain the fascination to a non-collector. Bookmarks are one of those small objects that should appeal <o the die­ hard collector. There isn’t a price guide or catalog listing all the available types and it would be no great loss if there never were. To anyone who might consider wasting a stamp to ask me the value of a particular bookmark, save your 20 cents. Often a beautiful, old bookmark can be purchased at a flea market for a few dollars. There are valuable bookmarks. Woven silk ribbons made by Thomas Stevens of Coventry, England, beginning around 1862, are highly collectible. Stenengraphs, as they are called, are listed in several price guides in a range from $30 to $250, depending on rarity. The chances of discovering a woven silk bookmark of value are pretty slim, but old books are an excellent source of discovery. Many dealers do not value the plain little paper markers enough to bother shaking out every book they handle, and a regular buyer of old books would find it difficult not to ac­ cumulate a few bookmarks. With all paper bookmarks lumped in a humble category as overlooked scraps of paper, why bother to collect them? For one reason, they are old enough to deserve a bit of the attention we lavish on all of yesterday's remains. The earliest paper bookmarks available to the collector probably made their debut in the trade-card era of the late 1800s. With books being mass produced without a ribbon sewn in to mark the pi ace, an extra feature only Bibles seem to have today, the book­ mark was a practical little giveaway. The longer the paper advertising remained in view, the more value it had in carrying a product's message. No wonder some clever mer­ chandiser began making trade-cards in the form of bookmarks, and labeling them as such. One bookmark could move from book to book indefinitely, a constant reminder of the soap or per­ fume or other product extolled on both its sides. These early trade-card type book­ marks are attractively printed in a variety of colors by the lithographic process. This style was obtained by the greased stone method of printing which produced a large range of striking colors. Enthusiasts of this type of color work are many. Understandably, advertising remained a main purpose of book­ marks, and they were frequently distributed as small gifts to the public. Insurance companies seemed to like using them, and book publishers cer­ tainly saw their potential in the 2011: Century. Bookmarks were sent to bookstores or libraries for free distribution, and libraries today sometimes give away bookmarks to discourage cruder methods ol marking places. Many companies gave away book­ marks to advertise their products — from every available toiletry to collar slays and hair grower. Not all w ere free to the public. Bookstores also sold, and still do sell bookmarks. Religious types have been favorites with the bookmark making a nice i'ttle reward for success in Sunday School. This is more true today than with older giveaways that favored the larger rectangular shape. Today, however, most bookmarks that are sold are laminated or made of sturdier materials than paper. Among the more imaginative book­ marks were those that could also be mailed as post cards. The long, slender shape wasn't practical for ma.ling even before such a slender card was banned, but they were printed with a divided back for an address and message. Bookmarks are not easy to date, and sometimes a little detective work is needed. A 1930s telephone giveaway card features an old style black desk phone and, on the reverse, a lady modeling a 1930s style dress. In this case, dating the bookmark was easy. Often they featured flowers or animals and other general categories which makes dating them very difficult. A collection should be enjoyed not only by the collector, but should be displayed for the pleasure of others. Sharing our joy is what makes it all worthwhile in the first place. Bookmarks (or other paper collec­ tibles) are pleasing to the eye in an orderly arrangement — not all thrown together in a box. A large glassed frame suitable for wall hanging makes a wonderful display case. If you are lucky enough to own many bookmarks, then use more than one glassed frame and hang them together on the same wall. They are shown to more ad­ vantage if a dark colored paper is used as background. I have seen whole collections of valuable and beautiful post cards glued into an album! Once a card, bookmark, or other paper collectible is pasted down, covering the backside, monetary value is depleted or gone entirely. A knowledgeable collector will never buy a paper item that has been pasted down. Because paper items are so vulnerable to the elements and even to poor judgment in handling, they must be protected — yet be able to be viewed. A photo album with dear plastic placements is ideal. They can be seen without being handled, and they are not pasted in. Also, the backs are free for viewing. A post card back, for instance, tells its own story. The postwork, stamps and message all carry pertinent information. The card company name and information about the front picture is often there. On an old bookmark, the advertising is what makes them special and set apart from every other one. Again, a simple little item shows its collecting potential. A single bookmark isn't much to speak of, but begin to assemble them and you have a collection of printing techniques, ad­ vertising styles, art work and even a dash of social history. Those who collect with the nose of a blotxtiound and a strong imagination will find the off beat collectibles among the most satisfying.

Adjust the heat so that the gauge jiggles two or three times a minute or maintains a slow, steady, rocking motion. 6) When the processing time is up, turn off the burner. (If you are using a coal or wood stove, remove the canner from heal.) Let pressure in the canner drop to zero by itself. Then remove the pressure regulator or weighted gauge. 7) When you remove the lid from the canner, tilt it away from your face. 8) Place the hot jars of food on a wooden board, a towel, or folded newspaper to cool. Keep them out of drafts. Small four or six quart pressure cookers (also known as pressure saucepans) can be used for canning food in pint jars. Because of their small size, pressure cookers heat up and cool down more rapidly than pressure canners. To compensate for the faster heating and cooling, it is necessary to add 20 minutes to the usual processing times. After processing, let pressure drop to zero by itself.

Individual success had become a large part of the American dream. Success, however, cannot be achieved without knowledge. Knowledge is the key to all ad­ vancement in society. The future of this country depends upon the education of our youth. Education fosters experience, . awareness, and wisdom. The young people of this country must seize all educational op­ portunities and faithfully pursue their goals.

With parents Mr. and Mrs. Bernie Weiler in attendance. Angela received the “Student of the Month” award from the dub. As part of the selection process, a student must write an essay on the subject of "Youth's Destiny". Below is Angela's thoughts on that subject. Youth’s Destiny Cancer fundraiser planned at Elks Above is a picture of the tents that lined the fairgrounds when veterans from Barry County, who served in the Grand Army of the Republic, met for their annual reunion. The tradition started in 1883 and continued in one form or another unitil 1934. Below is a photo taken at the 1895 reunion, 30 years after the war's end. One thousand Barry County men enlisted for the Civil War and af­ terwards, in 1865, those remaining held a reunion. Then for almost 20 years there was no formal get-togethers or reunions. Finally, in 1883, all the soldiers and sailors who had served in the Civil War were invited to a reunion. How many came and what prompted the reunion is not known to this writer. Apparently it was a success, for a year later. The Banner, in announcing the second reunion, said on August 1, 1884, "The reunion last year was a splendid success." If the first one was a splendid suc­ cess, the second one was a splendid, splendid success. Twelve hundred people attended the three-day reunion (1884) at the fairgrounds, of whom 450 were veterans. To accommodate all these people, tents were pitched on the grounds. The three days were cram­ med with activities, speeches and parades. The day started with a sunrise salute, followed by a parade through the principal streets of Hastings, led by three Barry County bands — Freeport, Hastings and Woodland. A dinner at noon had speeches by former captains and on Thursday afternoon a sham battle was staged, ending with a campfire. The sham battle “was one of the most attractive features of the reunion.” The 1200 people swarmed into the grandstanch. The Banner noted that “The grandstands held such a load of human freight as it never did before." The paper also described the battle and ended with "we don't know which side was victorious at last, but presumed that the union forces were, as a matter of course " After the "battle" and “sufficient time to recover", the veterans "held a dress parade... Perhaps they did not make as presentable and imposing an appearance as they did 20 years ago on Ihtir departure for the front... (but) some in line bore honorable scars or wounds..." The evening campfire gave the veterans time io reminisce about camp life, such as the mysterious disap­ pearance of railfences, visits to hen roosts and milk cellars, as well as recounting the battles on the fields. Late at night, after taps, “fully a hundred strong fell into line, over­ powered the guards, and marched towards town on a good time bent — to paint the city red. so to speak". Friday was filled with more speeches and parades By 6 pm., the camp was nearly deserted, and the second reunion “was a thing of the past, save for the Military Ball." The Sept. 12 Banner, in recounting the events, gave a complete list of the 450 veterans enrolled at the reunion. "There were." reported the paper, "a large number, however, who did not report, and consequently were not enrolled." The article gave the state, regiment, company, name and present address of each enrolled veteran “in hopes that it will be of interest to... the veterans". It continued, "Those wishing to preserve the same will but need to lay aside this copy of the paper for future reference." Listed were 312 men in 42 Michigan regiments; 10 Ohio regiments had 52 men; New York listed 64 men; Illinois had 14 men; Penn­ sylvania 6; Massachusetts 4; Indiana 14, while Virginia, Iowa, Wisconsin, Connecticut and Missouri, all had one each. Ail were boys from Barry County. It is uncertain if these reunions were held every year, but 40 of them were held in the 50 years between 1884 and 1934. In 1891. the veterans held a 25th anniversary of the Grand Army of the Republic. At the gathering in 1895, 30 years after the war. they had their picture taken on the fairgrounds. In 1907, 165 veterans registered; in 1908, 142 did. By 1912, only 52 gathered and in 1913 the format was changed. The 19th reunion on August 12-14 in 1913 saw 95 old soldiers purchase badges and enroll on the official book. "Comrade Phillips and Daily, who in former years occupied the only tent on the grounds, this year failed to pitch their canvas shelter and the last reminder of the other days when tent city were on the grounds was this year missing." said The Banner. Fifty years after the Civil War, on August 25,1915, the reunion was held in Reed’s Opera House. The paper reported the event: "Many who have looked forward to this annual event of meeting with the familiar figures who have grown old in our midst will note the signifcance of the fact that the reunion is being held on the opera house instead of the customary place — the fairgrounds It seems only a few years ago that a large number of tents were pitched for three days under the oaks at the fairgrounds. Then the soldiers and their families enjoyed camp life. Then the tents were given up and quarters were found in the buildings on the grounds. Comrades Daily and Phillips still slicking to their tents until a year ago." At this reunion, 106 veterans were enrolled. The last and final reunion was held on August 9.1934. The announcement said. “This is to be the last reunion of the Barry County organization. adding that "years ago the fairgrounds looked like a writable campground, with tents everywhere, but now the number has dwindled until but one or two can get to the reunions..." Actually, in 1934. there were 16 surviving •Civil War veterans, of whom only Truman O. Webber of Hastings and James MacDonald, formerly of Cloverdale and then a resident of Battle Creek, were able to attend the reunion. On August 11 of that year. Mr. Mac­ Donald observed his 94lh birthday. Barry County Fairgrounds Hastings, Michigan FRIDAY, AUGUST 24 BOOTHS, SHOPS.

Not being sentenced to watching Gilligan's Island reruns for a week, not eating my mother’s spinach, not holding Chicago Bear season tickets. Nothing. It is true, however, that hearing the dreaded sound is inevitable. Job duties dictate facing it sooner or later. To put it simply, I don't care if 1 ever hear the sound of foot smacking pigskin again. Now, don't get me wrong, I love football. I’ve either played it or wat­ ched it for as long as 1 can remember. But I know when the sound of a punted football begins echoing throughout the neighborhood, the end of summer is barely a first down away. Pretty soon the sandals and T-shirts will be pushed into the back dresser drawer. Long pants will be discarded for coaching shorts and, worst of all, coats are snatched from the closet on the way to the office. It won't be long before the leaves turn colors and the days are noticeably cooler. No more basking in the sun doubleheaders, or leisurely bike rides. To me, the sound of punted footballs is synonymous with the arrival of fall, meaning of course, summer is all but history. If you haven't had enough of summer, tough break. Enjoy the last few weeks of summer while you can; you won’t be seeing them again for what seems an eternity. And if fall is indeed only right around the corner, can the even more abominable Michigan winter be far behind? When you think of it that way, the coming of the autumn football season is a bit sad. Look at it this way: Each of the four seasons as they change has its own special charm. For instance, when winter eases into spring it's like a reprieve. “Thank God for the end of another winter,” we sigh. And then as fall turns into winter, we automatically begin looking ahead to Thanksgiving and Christmas and we become excited. But summer into fall? Yuk. Actually, we shouldn't finger football for this depressing state of mind, but since football and fall seem one in the same, it takes the rap. Football itself is great. Nothing can quite turn on an entire community like a football game can. In fact, there is very precious little that can top sipping a hot chocolate and munching a couple of mustard-covered hot dogs in the press box on a Friday night in October. It's just that football means the end of summer. So forgive me if I don't care to be around a football field quite yet. Or watch as a high school punter booms a punt off his capable right foot. I'm sorry. I just don't want to hear it.

Despite the fact the most torrid days of summer are yet to stifle us, the bathing suit remains within easy reach, and the trusty softball glove has not been oiled up and stashed away, the sound to me personifies the closing of summer. I'll even stay away from the brown and dusty field where I’ll hear the noise because if I do, who knows? Maybe summer will stay with us a little while The 15-and-under All-Star baseball team from Hastings finished third in the 10 team Lakeview baseball tournament during the week of July 29 to August 5. The team was formed at the end of the regular Pony League season.

After splitting its two practice games with the P & M team from Battle Creek, the Hastings team lost its first game in the AABC District tournament to the same P & M team, 5-3.

The first mishap came at 11:35 a.m., when a nine-year-old Delton youth ran into the side of a car on BanfieJd Road. . Barry County Sheriff Deputy Frank Misak said Todd Beach was riding his bicycle sou’bbound behind an farm implement when he suddenly turned around, using part of the northbound lane, when be ran into the side of a northbound vehicle driven by Glenice Joan Hock, 53, of Battle Creek. Misak said the Beach youth struck the left, rear passenger door of the Hock vehicle. The deputy said the by sustained an injury to an arm. Beach was taken to Community Hospital in Battle Creek, where he was treated and released. The second bicycle mishap of the day occurred at 2:40 p.m. near the corner of W. Stale Road and Norway Drive, when a’ 15-year-old girl collided on her bicycle with a motorcycle. Teresa Ann Winans, 2999 W. State Rd., was reportedly exiting Chippewa Trail onto W. State Road when she was struck by a motorcycle tkiven by Max Fred Carpenter, 62 of Grand Rapids. Winans was taken by Hastings Ambulance to Pennock Hospital, where she te reported to be in satisfactory condition, with possible internal in­ juries and cuts and bruises to her left arm and left leg.

The occasion is the first annual Hastings SummerFest stone skipping contest, to be held this Saturday at Fish Hatchery Park from 1:30 to 5 p.m. The contest features three classes: open (public), professional and merchant-sponsored teams. Open class entrants must be 15-years or older, and pay a $1 entry fee. All contestants will bring their own skip­ ping stones. Trophies will go to the first five places on the merchant sponsored teams, the first three in the open category, and professionals will compete for a single, first place trophy. Incidentally, the world record for the number of confirmed skips of a stone across water is 42.

Michigan 49058 Thursday, August 23, 1984 Price 25{ Schools expect *89,000 in bonus state aid funds by Norma Acker Hastings schools are expecting a bonus in state aid money of $28 per student or $89,600 for the expected 3,200 students in kin­ dergarten through 12th grade (K-12), for meeting new state requirements aimed at setting minimum standards for education. Superintends Carl A. Schoessel said that an additional $15,400 could be received if the expected 550 full-time equivalent students in adult education are counted into the state aid formula for the bonus money. The school system has been on probation from the North Central Accreditation organization which sets standards for minimum educational requirements. Lack of counsellors, the length of the school day and the lack of library services were among the items cited by the accreditation group. Approval of a millage increase, last year, and additional state aid funding have enabled the district to bring the system back to those standards. Schoessel said that the probation is expected to be removed later this school year.

To receive the money, the school board must adopt a resolution which will formally notify the Michigan State Board of Education that the district meets the requirements. That resolution is expected to be adopted when the board meets Monday at 7:30 p.m. in the junior high school vocal music room. Schoessel cautioned that the total amount of state aid to be received will not be calculated until the fourth Friday student count is completed. Schoessel said that the return to the six hour class day helped the district qualify for the funds. The requirements could not have been met last school year, he said. “We are presenting a very strong program,” Schoessel said. The board has not yet budgeted the ad­ ditional funds. “There are no plans (for the money) at this time,” Schoessel said. "We will take the safe approach and not plan until we have the cash in hand. “If we got the check tomorrow we would add it to the fund balance and invest it,” he said. At Monday's meeting, the board is also expected to approve a number of ad­ ministrative and staff appointments. The appointments include: —LaVern Be Beau, assistant secondary principal; Christopher Warren, Southeastern Elementary principal; —Ann DeHogg of Woodland, junior high art and vocal music; Norma LaMotte, junior high math and English; Tanya Nixon of Grand Ledge, Northeastern Elementary first grade; Donald Schils of Bat»le Creek, four± and fifth grade combined at Pleasantview Elementary; —Ellarie Spindler of Hastings, kin­ dergarten at Northeastern and Pleasant­ view; Nancy Standerford, second and third grade combination at Pleasantview; Dennis O’Mara, alternative education; Mary Brown, two-hour high school counsellor position; —Nolan Gutchess, Jr., transferring from custodian to specialized maintenance custodian; Jerrold McKelvey, high school custodian; Randy Holley, head freshman football coach; Steve Hoke, assistant fresh­ man football coach. The board is also expected to accept the resignation of Lyndeil Torode from food services and to act on a request by Nancy Cottrell, high school business teacher, for an extended leave of absence without pay. Schoessel said that several other positions may be filled in time for board approval Monday. They include a half-time kin­ dergarten position, a half-time coordinator for the gifted and talented student program, a high school social studies position, a high school business teaching position, and a high school career counsellor’s position, which will be funded through the federal Job Training Partnership Act. The board is also expected to accept a gift of $1,000 from the Band Boosters for the purchase of sweaters for the junior high band. The board will receive a recommendation for lunch prices at 90 cents for a "Type A” lunch and 40 cents for those eligible by in­ come for the reduced rate. The board will also discuss and vote on a 25 cent per hour maximum wage increase for the secretaries in the Central Administration office. Only one secretary will be eligible for the proposed increase. ‘Facility’ workers OK contract nurses are not members of the union. Under the agreement, employees will receive a four percent salary increase for the this year (ending on April 1, 1985), retroactive to July 1. The contract expired on April 1, 1984. For both the second and third years of the contract, they will receive an increase based on the cost-of-living index, but not to exceed seven percent or go lower than four percent. Employees, both union and non-union, will also be under a different medical insurance formula with Blue Cross. Before, full and parttime workers received $40 a month payment toward coverage if they were employed three years or less at the Facility and $75 a month if they were em­ ployed over three years. The current cost difference in the insurance premiums, which was quite a bit higher than those two figures, had previously been made up by the worker. Under the new agreement, the Facility pays 90 percent of the premium for in­ dividual coverage. If the worker wishes to include a spouse or family, the Facility will pay 50 percent of the difference in the premium (above the flat individual rate) for fulltime employees and 20 percent of the difference for parttime employees. Coverage also requires that a $50 deduc­ tible be paid per individual, with a maximium of $100 per family, and that 10 percent of the medical costs be paid by the worker, up to $1000.

Jefferson St. Nashville man still listed as critical A Nashville man is still listed in critical condition with closed head injtries and multiple trauma, caused by a traffic accident early Saturday morning. Henry L. Barrick, 20, of Rt. 3, Butler Rd., Nashville, was traveling south on M-66. just past Lawrence Road in Maple Grove Township, when he ap­ parently lost control of his vehicle. Barrick was taken to Pennock Hospital in Hastings by the Nashville Ambulance, then transferred to Blodgett Hospital in Grand Rapids Drifter’s life, death baffle police by Ken Reibei One month after the discovery of his body floating face down in a creek in southwest Barry County, little is known of the life, or death, of the drifter named Frederick E. Kimberly. All police have to go on is a handful of prior misdemeanor arrests, a carnival food concession in Terre Haute, Ind., where Kimberly was fired three days eariier, and an autopsy report, which showed that the 43year-old Kimberly died from a single, small­ calibre gunshot to the back of the head. Nothing is known of Kimberly's birthplace, his past, or any family members. The detective handling the case cannot even be sure if Kimberly was shot in Barry County, on the bridge 20 feet above where his body was apparently tossed, or if his killer acted elsewhere, and used lhe creek, located just 500 feet north of the Barry-Calhoun County line, to dump the corpse. “It's a hard case," said Detective Ken DeMott, of the Barry County Sheriff Department. Despite the lack of leads. DeMott said the case is far from dosed. He said a Battle Creek television station will be soon broadcasting information about the murder, and police are hoping for leads through that city's Silent Observer program. "If nothing else, we'll issue a nationwide bulletin on Kimberly, hoping to find someone who knew him," said DeMott. The few who knew Kimberly from his stay in Terre Haute described him as alcoholic, and having a bad temper. He had been travelling with a food concession that followed Drews Shows, a carnival outfit out of Augusta, Ga.. and was fired Tuesday morning. July 17. Where Kimberly went, what he did. who he met, or how he died, between Tuesday and Friday, has yet to be learned. The murder first came to light when Barry County Sheriff Deputy Don Glasgow an­ swered a call, at about 6 p.m. on July 20, concerning a drowning in the creek which passes under M-66. in the southeast comer of Assyria Township. "1 didn't think it was a drowning when I got □•ere, because I didn't see any fishing gear." said Glasgow. “Then I saw lhe hole in the back of his head, and the blood. I treated it as a homocide, and called our detective.'* Kimberly, dressed in blue jeans, a striped, button down shirt, and athletic shoes, was floating face down in shallow water near the bridge. There was a bruise on his forehead, over his right eye, and severe trauma to his liver, which occurred when the body hit a large, jagged boulder at the creek's edge. Police found a wallet on Kimberly, void of money but with papers identifying him by an alias, Frederick Kunna. Police later learned, through fingerprint analysis, that Kunna's real name was Kimberly. Police also observed what they said ap­ peared to be a blood stain on the outside of the bridge, just below the railing. The body was taken to the Pennock Hospital morgue, where it was examined, at about 11 p.m., by Barry County Assistant Medical Examiner Dr. Thomas W. Myers. The autopsy results, released this week, show that Kimberly died from a small­ calibre bullet which entered the back, right portion of his skull. 'This wound caused virtually in- Continued on page 2 Window work— Steve Smith, foremen for Bottle Creek Gloss, sizes up one of 180 windows that will be replaced this week at the 54-yeor-old Central Elementary School.

SummerFest & Fiberfest: Promoting community and its products The SummerFest and FiberFest activities this weekend will not only be a lot of fun for Hastings and Barry County people, they will also serve to promote the community, our people and our products to thousands of visitors. Thb kind of promotion benefits us in many ways. Hastings is a nice place to visit Local merchants and restaurants, who expose their businesses to many potential customers for the first time, have the chance to bring them back as buyers in the future. People who live within western Michigan can easily drive to our town for a day’s visit. This is one of the types of tourism the Barry County Tourism Council has been working to develop. SummerFest and FiberFest visitors who return here and spend money here are a bonus to the local economy. Attracting people from outside the area who enjoy themselves here also gives our community a good image to outsiders. Having an area with a good reputation is essential to attracting new people. Our hospital, school system and local industries are constantly recruiting new talent and the best people will only come to an attractive area with a good reputation. Hastings and Barry County have that and we want word of it to spread. FiberFest lias additional benefits to the community. The major purpose of the first-time event is to promote the use of fiber products, fiber arts and raising fiber producing animals. The FiberFest, through the work of Don Drummond and the Hastings Joint Economic Development Commission, secured *6,000 from a "Yes! Michigan" grant to aid in its promotional activities. If Drummond and cohorts are successful in making it a continuing effort, Hastings will become associated with fiber producing animals, such as Angora goats and rabbits, and this will boost our local economy. If more people become involved in raising these animals locally, we could add another major product to our agricultural economy. Of course the best part of this weekend is that it will be fun. We’ll be there as participants, reporters, photographers and observers. Join us! Contract , continued from page 1 In turn, the Facility has added out-patient care and doctor visits to the package. Before it was limited to hospitalization. Glen Marshall, negotiator for the union local, said that the change in insurance coverage would make a “big difference" for employees. "Over the years it had gotten to such a point (the difference between the amount paid by the Facility and the actual premium) that the participation was declining rapidly because the the employee couldn’t afford it," he said. Marshall added that the coverage was designed (with the deductibles and the 10 percent payment requirment up to 11,000) to discourage abuse, but that, in turn, it now allowed out-patient care and regular doctor visits. Richard Ritter, Director of the Barry County Dept, cf Social Services, felt the coverage would result of lower insurance rates in the long run for the Facility. "From the employee point-of-view there’s more coverage because they get physician services now," he said. "On the other hand, they now have to pay a $50 deductible and 10 percent of the costs up to $1,000, both of which should help keep costs down as much as possible. When we re-figure the rates with Blue Cross next May hopefuly they won't inflate as much as they were doing under he old policy." Blue Cross apparently felt that there had been abuse under the old policy with persons seeking emergency hospital treatment, which was covered, rather than going to a doctor and it had been raising its premiums to compensate for that. Other changes in the contract dealt with procedural changes, such as ‘how’ and ‘who’ to call into work on short notice. Neither side said they had an overall cost figure on the package. A contract agreeement. which appeared to be at hand in late June, was delayed until now because of a change by Blue Cross on its insurance rates. >-------------The Hastings "What held it up (the scheduled vote on June 28)," said Ritter, “was the insurance rates. We had gotten some figures from Blue Cross that they did not honor when we were ready for an agreement. With their new rates it was going to be more costly than we had anticipated, so we had to go back and .efigure it and come up with a compromise agreeable to both sides." Marshall agreed that it was this change in rates which held up the contract ’ We thought we had an agreement back then (in June)," he said, “but it turned out the figures were wrong and it made a substantial dif­ ference in what the cost would have been and we ended up back at the table.” Once those figures were finalized the two sides met on Aug. 9 and reached a tenative agreement A vote was then held by the union employees five days later. Drifter, continued from page 1 stantaneous death," concluded Myers, who noted that the absence of waler in Kim­ berly's lungs showed he was dead before he hit the water. The autopsy also concluded that Kimberly was not shot at close range — there were no powder burns in his hair, no "tatooing" of gun powder under the skin, no tearing of the skin indicative of a close-up, execution-style murder. "To me, it was a sneak attack," said DeMott. "There's no sign that Kimberly was tied up. no marks to indicate that he was beaten, and no defensive wounds." DeMott said it is unknown how Kimberly got to Michigan from Indiana, how many assailants were involved, or the motive for the killing. “The only way I feel this will be solved is if someone down the road confesses " Banner ____ < _________ __ Send form P.S. 3579 to P.O.

Christopher Warren LaVern BeBeau He said he would like to see joint effort and cooperation between treachers which would "bridge the gap between the departments.” “We have a well-qualified staff, good teachers, doing good things in the classroom, but we need a little more cooperation," he said. As an example, BeBeau said iie would like to see writing techniques taught in English and literature classes put into practice in history classes when writing assignments are given. BeBeau has been a teacher in the Hastings School System since 1962. He received a B.A. in history from the University of Alabama in 1962, and a master’s degree from the Univeristy of Kansas in 1968 in social studies curriculum development with a specialty in the European History of Renaissance Reformation. He has also done graduate work at Michigan State University, and Western Michigan University. BeBeau and his wife, Joan, live at 635 E. Colfax in Hastings. The couple have three children: Rene. Rochelle and Scott. Christopher Warren will act as a full-time principal at Southeastern Elementary School and wil] help to coordinate the curriculum for grades K-6 throughout the district. Warren said he hopes to get to know all the students at the school by name by Thanksgiving, and to become involved with the Parent Teacher Organization. He called taking the Hastings job "A good family move." “I think the main thing as the country atmosphere in a good size town." he added. Warren received his bachelor's degree from Olivet College in 1974. a master's degree in education administration from the University of Michigan, and a specialist degree in education administration from Michigan State University in 1982. Warren has been an elementary school prinicipal in Yale. Morley and LeRoy, Mich. He has also worked as a teacher in Charlotte. Warren is a member of the Michigan Elementary and Middle School Principal’s Association, the National Association of Elementary School Pricipals, the University of Michigan Alumni Association, and the United Methodist Church. Warren and his wife, Patricia, have two children. Jennifer, 7, and Joshua. 3. The family now resides in Yale, while awaiting the sale of their home, and plans to move here soon. "We want to live in the district. It’s very important to me," said Warren After the move, Warren said he plans to pursue a doctorate degree in educational leadership at Western Michigan Univeratty, and his wife will attend Grand Valley State College to study physical therapy. October 8 set as next date Delton to go for third millage vote During a four and one-hah' hour session with more than 100-persons in attendance, the Delton-Kellogg Board of Education Monday decided to give voters a third op­ portunity to approve operating millage that it says is desperately needed. On Monday, October 8, voters in the Delton District will again be asked to approve 24.1 mills for two years, but this time the ballot will feature a compromise approach, said Superintendent Dr. John Sanders. In June and last Saturday, voters defeated a single proposal requesting a 24.1-mill package. In the upcoming October election, the millage will be split into two proposals. One ballot question wil) ask voters to ap­ prove a renewal of 21.1 mills plus two ad­ ditional mills for operations. The other request will seek voter approval of a one-mill increase for capital improvements which includes maintai nance projects and the purchase of equipment and teaching tools. Sanders said "there was a great deal of sentiment (expressed by citizens) to split the proposal." After listening to their comments, he said the board decided to "compromise their approach” while at the same time standing firm on its commitment that all 24.1 mills are needed to provide students with a quality education. The district is experiencing a financial crunch because of a decline in enrollment of more than 140-students durir« the past year. Because state aid is based upon enrollment, school officials have said the Delton district will not have enough operating revenue to offer a quality program for the 1984-85 school year without the millage increase. Five Clark was given credit for 12 days spent in teachers were laid off in June because of the enrollment drop. The increase also is needed custody in the Barry County Jail. to offset inflationary costs, the board has said.

Judge Shuster also assessed Erickson $500 in fines and costs, and gave him credit for 84 That money is expected to run out in early November. days spent in jail since his arrest. Despite the recent millage defeat, school Betty J. Gould. 37. Coals Grove Road. Freeport, stood mute to a charge of obtaining unemployment compensation by false pretenses. The court entered a plea of nol guilty for her. According to court records. Gould claimed she worked for more than 20 weeks in the year 1983, causing lhe Michigan Em­ ployment Security Commission to deliver checks, payable to Gould, in the amount of $100 or more. The crime is a felony, punishable by no more lhan ten years, ora fine of $5,000. Burglar sentenced 2-to-5 years in prison on Friday A Battle Creek man who broke into a service station only to be caught in the act by Hastings City Police received two to five years in prison Friday. Hastings City Police arrested Michael Anthony Clark. 22, 1434 Jordon St., the night of June 8 inside the Drake Service Station on S. Beford Road. Clark told the court he and three other subjects had participated in the break-in that night. Clark’s attorney, in asking for a lighter sentence, said Clark's previous convictions included eating a sandwich in a restaurant and not paying for it. and purchasing a leather jacket which turned out to be stolen. However, in sentencing Clark. BarryEaton Circuit Court Judge Richard Shuster noted that Clark was serving a three-year probation at the time of the break-in. Clark, who has agreed to aid police in arresting his alleged accomplices, said prior to sentencing. "I was hanging out with the wrong people. 1 realize that I made a mistake.” Woman acquitted on check charge A jury deliberated 14 hours in carry County Circuit Court Monday before acquitting a 26-year-old Hastings woman on charges of check forgery and uttering and publishing.

"To make any cuts that would be meaningful would be far too drastic to provide students with quality educational programs,” Sanders said. "We're going to begin the program we planned and go as long as we can... "Maybe by splitting (the proposal), we'll have a little better fortune," be said. If the October millage is turned downed by voters, Sanders said the board would still have time to go back to voters before the December 15 deadline for placing lhe millage levy on the taxrdls. There also is a possibily that the deadline could be ex­ tended, if needed. In another matte-- at Monday's special meeting, the board accepted the resignation of board trustee and former treasurer Penelope (Penny) Hogan who has served on the board forseven-years. She cited personal reasons and family commitments as reasons for her resignation which was dated July 1 but not presented to the board until Monday. She had delayed submitting the letter to the board until after the election to avoid any potential misunderstanding concerning the millage issue. PUBLIC OPINION: SummerFest favorites? LETTERS to the Editor: Softball article gets response To lhe Editor: In response to last week’s article on Art Meade's women's softball team: We would like you to know this article is a slap at all the teams in our league who play without B championship winners or women who play on four teams. We are working to build a league where everyone can play and to have you lionize the ong team least representative of our goals is insensitive to say the least. A team that compiles the stats that you write about is clearly playing far below their level of competition. It is not a fair or balanced article.

Social Security questions answered Q. My wife and 1 have a 10year-old- daughter who's mentally retarded and gets monthly SSI checks. Our only other Income Is mj salary. My wife is th inking about going to work. If she gets a job. does she have to report her earnings to Social Security? A. Any change in the family's income must be reported to Social Security. Your wife's earnings may affect your daughter's eligibility for SSI payments. <L One of my co-workers told me that it's now possible to walk into any Social Security office and find out what my monthly payments will be when I retire. Is that true? A. Yes. If you’re at least 60. any Social Security office can tell you immediately what your monthly retirement payments will be at 62 and at 65. We're able to do this now because of the modernization of our computer systems. Q. My wife recently was in a serious accident and will be confined to a wheelchair for some time. As a result. I’ve hired a woman to come in twice a week to do the housework. She tells me that she's covered by Social Security and that I must take the taxes out of her pay. I never knew that household workers can get Social Security coverage. Is she right? A. If you pay your household worker 550 or more in a calendar quarter, you must deduct her Social Security taxes, add your share, and send it to the IRS within a month after the quarter ends, along with a report of her earnings. Q. Is the money collected from Social Security taxes being used to make payments to people who are getting supplemental security income? A. No. While it's trje that Social Security is ad­ ministering SSI, the money comes from general tax revenues. Social Security taxes are used only to pay Social Security benefits and for running the Social Security program. WILLIAM H.

By taking deduc­ tions for mortgage interest and property tax, homeowners lower their federal income tax bill an average of $700. But your home may be the source of additional tax deductions, says the Michigan Association of CPAs. If you made energy-saving or medical-related im­ provements to your home in 1983, you may have deductions or tax credits coming. This also applies if you use part of your home for a business In 1961, nearly five million Americans took advantage of the tax credit on energy­ saving home improvements. The residential energy credit allows you to get back 15 percent of the first $2,000 spent on the installation of devices to save energy. That’s a maximum credit of $300. You can also get jack 40 percent of the first $10,000 — a maximum credit of $4,000 — spent on solar geothermal or windpowered, energy-producing devices. The credit for energy conservation costs applies to insulation, storm or thermal windows and doors, and caulking or weather strip­ ping. You can also claim this credit if you installed clock thermostats, meters that show the cost of energy usage and certain other energy conservation aids. While this credit applies if you own or rent your home, it only applies on homes built before April 1977. Home improvements undertaken for medical reasons may also bring tax savings. If your doctor ad­ vised you to air condition your home to relieve a respiratory ailment, for instance, that may be deductible. The same rule applies to other home im­ provements, such as an elevator for a person unable to climb stairs, or a swim­ ming pool prescribed for physical therapy. When deducting medicalrelated home improvements, the size of the deduction sometimes depends on how much the improvement adds to the value of your home. For instance, if a man with a heart condition built a swimming pool in his home, he can deduct any costs for the pool in excess of the amount his property value has increased. So, a $5,000 pool that only adds $3,000 to your property value qualifies for a $2,000 deduction. Homeowners who use part of their home as an office may also be entitled to some deductions. Even if you use only part of a room in your home regularly and ex­ clusively as your principal place of business, you may be able to deduct a per­ centage of the costs of general maintenance, depreciation, heat, elec­ tricity and special upkeep as a business expense. Your deduction, however, may not be in excess of the gross income from the business use of your home. One home-related deduction has been cut back drastically this year: the casualty and theft loss deduction. Under new rules, you may now take this deduction only if you suffer an unreimbursed loss that exceeds 10 percent of your adjusted gross income, and that would have to be a substantial loss. Previously, a taxpayer could claim the entire unreimbursed loss except for $100. A homeowner who earns $20,000 and suffers a fire that destroys a couch and car­ peting can only deduct unreimbursed losses above the $2,100 mark because $100 must be subtracted from the value of each loss. Henkes to observe 25th anniversary Robert and Caroline (LaPine) Henke, of 10989 East D.E. Avenue. Ruhland, will celebrate their 25th wedding anniversary on August 26.

Book collecting has its fads. Sometimes these focus on in­ consequential drival and at the same time cause those who succumb to them to pass up really valuable and scarce Harold Stannard Spending lime in the kitchen around harvest time has become an annual tradition for Harold Stannard, a former school ad­ ministrator who resides in Woodland. In August, you can finding him slicing cucumbers and onions and brewing a batch of vinegar, sugar and spices to make bread and butter pickles. He also cans beets, plums, pears, grape juice, chili sauce, pickle relish, corn relish and tomato juice — all from produce he raises in his garden. “I get a kick out of doing it," says Harold. “We give 80-perccni of it away." He comments that his mother always canned and that some of the recipes he uses are from her old cookbooks. Harold and his wife, Nell, divide their lime between living in Palm Springs, California and Woodland, where they reside in a large refurbished 18<8 home, when they're not traveling to Hawaii, Europe or other places of interest. A native of Ionia, Harold spent his youth in that city until he went to college. A graduate of Western Michigan University and the University of Michigan, he holds bachelor's and master's degrees in history. In 1949. Harold was named principal of the K-12 Woodland School District which in­ cluded the school structure in the heart of the community as well as surrounding country schools. He spent lu-years in that position and then moved to California where he was in charge of the social studies curriculum for 25-years in the South Bay School district in Los Angles County. He retired in 1961, but still serves a limited amount of time as a consultant to the district. Before his wife's retirement, Nell was in charge of the home economics curriculum in the same California school district. She loo is still employed on a consultant basis. They have three children who also reside in California: Robert who is in the veterinary field; James who is director of a vocational education program; and Carolyn who is employed by General Telephone. The Stannards have one grandchild and another on the way. History has not only been important in Harold's education and career, but also rates high among his avocational pursuits. A board member of the Barry County Historical Society, he is especially interested in preserving bits and pieces of history that might otherwise be forgotten. He says his primary hobby is studying the Civil War era which he adds has been nearly a life-time interest. "1 just did a tape for public broadcasting about Jesse Jordon from Woodland who went from a private to a captain during the Civil War. I did this based on letters I read that he had sent to his mother and wife. He was very articulate and wrote to them every day." Gardening and an occasional golf game are other activities Stannard enjoys. Besides a vegetable garden, he has planted grapes on his Woodland property in addition to a small orchard of about 25-trees He's also a partner in an apple ranch in Califor­ nia. For this column, Harold shares a favorite recipe, given to him by Ruth Niethamer, for bread and butter picldes. books. One such category is old law books. These are usually very reasonably priced, as hardly anyone buys them. Harold Stannarc* of Woodland is a man who 'can* do a lot in the kitchen. Canning is his specialty and he says he gets a kick out of making pickles, chili sauce, tomato juice and other foods from produce he grows in his garden. fLIVEN UP YOUR LIFESTYLE!

Such books are meat for the historian, for the laws of a period reflect its social conditions and many aspects of the interests that were paramount at that time. In 1808, for example, the settlers in the territory were more interested in fencing out livestock than of fencing them in. Hence the law on “Enclosw-es”, which enacted that "all fields and grounds kept for enclosures shall be well enclosed with a fence sufficiently close, composed of suf­ ficient posts and rails, posts and palings, palisadoes, or rails alone laid up in the manner which is commonly called a worm fence, which posts shall be deep set and strongly fastened in the earth; and all fences shall be at least five feet and six inches high, the up­ permost rail of each and every panel of the kind last named shall be supported by strong stakes, strongly set and fastened in the earth, so as to compose what is commonly called staking and ridering; and that in all worm fences the worm of the same shall be at least one-third of the length of the rails which compose the respective panels thereof." "If any horse, gelding, mare, colt, mule or ass, sheep, lamb, goat, kid or cattle, shall break into any person's enclosure the fence being the height and sufficiency afore-said — or if any bog, shoat or pig shall break into the same, the owners of said creature or creatures shall for the first trespass make reparations to the party injured for the true value of the damages he shall sustain, and for every trespass afterwards, double damages to be recovered with costs before a justice of the peace, or any coirt of record. Provided, that for a third offense from any of tise beasts aforesaid, the party injured may kill and destroy the beasts so trespassing without being an­ swerable for the same." Fights in those days were apt to be brutal, featuring such things as eye gougings and maimings. This was covered by a law enacted in 1808 that stated, "If a person or persons within this territory, on purpose and malice aforethought, shall unlawfully cut off the ear or ears, or cut out, or disable the tongue, put out an eye, slit the nose, or a lip, or cut off or disable any limb, then and in every such case, the person or persons so offending, shall, on con­ viction, be imprisoned not exceeding seven years, and fined not exceeding one thousand dollars."

Upon a second conviction, restitution and payment shall be made to the owner as aforesaid, and a fine shall also be set and paid to the district, not ex­ ceeding four fold the value as aforesaid, and be pt&licly whipped not exceeding thirty-nine stripes, and in a like manner on every succeeding conviction. And in case such convict shall not have property, real or personal, wherewith to discharge and satisfy the sentence of lhe court it shall be lawful for lhe sheriff under the direction of the court to bind such person for labor for c term not exceeding seven years, to any suitable person who will discharge such fine.” Livestock, which ran at large on the open range in those days, was marked and branded. The alteration of these brands was considered a heinous crime, as is made apparent by the severity of the following 1808 law: "If any person or persons shall alter or deface the brand of any other per sons' horse, cattle or hogs, such person being thereof convicted, shall for every horse, mare, cdt, meat cattle or hog, whose mark or brand he shall alter or deface, forfeit and pay the sum of five dollars, over and above the value of such animal, to the person whose mark or brand shall be so altered. And the offender shall, over and above the said fine, receive forty lashes on his or her bare back, well laid on; and for the second offense, shall pay the fine aforesaid, stand in the pillory two hours, and receive not exceeding sixty lashes on his or her bare back, well laid on." "An Act (approved January 18, 1814) Concerning Public Roads and High­ ways", throws interesting light on the construction of public roads in those days, in that it decrees "All public roads laid out as now in use, or which shall hereafter be laid out, shall be cleared of all trees and brush at least twenty five feet wide, and such limbs of trees as may incommode horsemen or carriages, shall be cut away and no stump shall exceed twelve inches in height." Those who wish, can imagine what would happen if we built our interstate highways according to those in­ structions. The foregoing are but a few t samples of the fascinating dividends that occur to those who collect and read the early law books of various regions. 53^1) 401 N' BROADWAY, HASTINGS ] NAME j I ADDRESS I I TELEPHONE_______________________ I | Drawing Sat., Sept. 1 ' JCPenney DOWNTOWN HASTINGS J �The Hastings Banner Thursday, August 23. 1984, Page 7 Walt Soya of Hastings stands proudly with his 1935 four-door Buick, one of many similar antique automobiles that were at Charlton Park Sunday. Antique autos draw huge crowds to Charlton Park About 200 vintage automobiles and their owners turned ou' for the annual Charlton Park Antique Auto Show Sunday. John Patterson, park director, said the number of vendors, and antique cars, was higher this year than last, but that he could not be sure of crowd size until later in the week. The event is held in conjunction with the Battle Creek Chapter of the Veteran Motor Car Club of America. One of thoseexhibiting was Walter Soya, S. Broadway, Hastings, who owns a 1935 Buick 4-dnor Soya has owned the car for 14 years, and now has it for sale for $13,000. He said he and a friend got the idea to buy an antique car during a trip to the Gilmore Car Museum. Their opportunity came when a doctor in Traverse City sold off his collection. Soya said the car was in good shape, with all original metal, but it still took three months to restore. "It's a good deal for anyone into antique autos,” he said. “It's fully restored, and that will save somebody a lot of work.’’ UN •©' FOOD* REFRESHMENTS • ENTERTAINMENT ★ SUMMER-FEST SCHEDULE *1 COURTHOUSE * CONCERT at Central Auditorium............ ........................ 8:00 p.m. FRIDAY EVENTS * AUG. 24 ARTS & CRAFTS, Courthouse Lawn .. 10:00 a.m. *til 6:00 p.M.

Gordon Fuhr. Chrm. Street Committee Thanks toyou... it works... for ALL OF US United way �The Hastings Banner Prom Tims to Time... Lake Odessa News by...Esther Walton Scales Prairie was near ‘Great Trail’ A blockhouse like this one stood at Scales Prairie, a tract of land approximately two miles square, located north of Yankee Springs, near The Great Trail". The Trail was on Indian path that led north from Fort Wayne through Barry County and up to the northern edge of the state. An Indian trail known to the early settlers as the "Great Trail” crossed the entire County of Barry and Stale of Michigan, from north to south. Barry County at that time was connected with St. Joseph and Kalamazoo counties and Michigan was still part of the great Northwest Territory. All was a vast wilderness, except for the Indian habitations and the few white settlements. Most paths and trails were worn through by Indians as they traveled from place to place on foot. They would establish their villages by building up a half dozen or so wigwams to house the various families, mostly following the lakes and streams of water where they could procure fish, as well as wild game from the forest, for their food. There were many such trails throughout the state. A famous trail known as the "Sauk Trail" crossed the lower tier of counties in the Lower Peninsula, thus connecting two very important settlements, those of Detroit and Chicago. Part of this trail became Highway 12. Further inland, many trails crossed this great Sauk Trail, one, the Great Trail, running north from Fort Wayne, Ind., met with others forming a ter­ minal of 18 trails at the present site of Kalamazoo. Here the red man could follow the Great Trail northward. He had to ford the Kalamazoo River, then cross Gull Prairie (now Richland) and enter into what later became Barry County, going northward over the Yankee Springs hills overlooking beautiful Gun Lake, and passing by Yankee Springs. Fur­ ther northward he came to Scales Prairie, a tract of land approximately two miles square. At this site was located in 1835 an ancient blockhouse or trading post, which was of log construction and operated by James Moreau, a French trader. French traders were in BarryCounty when the first white settlers arrived in the early 1830s. Moreau traded extensively with the Indians, exchanging flour and pork for the fine furs they brought him. Moreau first built and traded on the Thomapple River al a spot called "Bull's Prairie” in Irving Township. He abandoned his post al Bull's Prairie and moved to Scales Prairie when the land upon which the first post stood passed into possession of A.E. Bull. At Scales Prairie, Moreau took over Charbonneau's blockhouse. No one knew the previous Frenchman who built this house, for it stood there long before Moreau occupied it. It was one of the most pretentious structures of its kind in western Michigan and for years it was a great social center. It was built of logs hewed square and dovetailed. The lumber, according to one account. was sawed by hand at the Green Lake post. This house was designed to resist any attacks, though none ever came. The interior was roomy. The lower story was divided into two rooms, used as a dining room and a bar room. There was a brick chimney in the center, with fireplaces opening into each room. The guest chambers were upstairs. Bricks for the chimney and fireplace were conveyed a great distance. Near the blockhouse, during Moreau's time, was an Indian village of the Potawattamie tribe. There were said to have been eight lodges here. Another Indian village was located a short distance to the south and east, located in section 35 of Thomapple Township, on whabwas known in the 1950s as the Hatlie Johnson farm. The pioneers reported that often the Chippewas, Ottawas, and Potawat­ tamie tribes used to gather yearly to the number of from 50 to 100 families and make their tented home there for a month a time and that Indian dances or powwows were common at Scales Prairie. The blockhouse was located near the Great Trail, which later became the major stage route from Battle Creek and Kalamazoo to Kent (now Grand Rapids). Many a traveler would often lale night lodging here, and the blockhouse seemed to be as popular a place for the wayfarers as the Mansion House at Yankee Springs. Leaving his place on Scales Prairie in 1837, Moreau went to Grand Rapids where he operated a hotel for some time. The settlement in Grand Rapids attracted him because it was more progressive. The blockhouse was sold to Robert Scales, a young man who had worked for Moreau and who had also look up land at this location. Con­ sequently, Scales Prairie was named after him. The large blockhouse became the natural meeting place for the recently arrived pioneers. One of the first of­ ficial acts of the township was at this spot. Sixteen men cast votes at the first town meeting held in Thomapple Township. After Scales moved out of the venerable structure, it changed ownership so many times that it is estimated that 100 families had been domiciled under its roof. When the heavy timbers began to decay, the ridge pole sagged and the expense of additional repairs became loo great, a number of persons burned the historic structure to the ground. To them this seemed to be the easiest way to obtain possession of a few square ya rds of land it occupied. Now the spot is marked by a historic marker which gives a brief history of the role the area played both for the Indians and for the early pioneers. In 1903 Hastings was also enjoying a summertime celebration Banner July 30. 1903: The free street carnival which is to be held in this city Friday and Saturday. Aug 14 and 15, promises to be one of the most notable events of its kind ever held in this part of the state. The citizens, who have been getting up the two days of fun, have made elaborate preparation to make the affair eminently successful. There will be all kinds of athletic sports, fool races, sack races, wheelbarrow races, etc. One of the features will be an engine race, but the greatest event of all will be a "Wild West Show" which will present thrilling scenes from old frontier days, such as a sham Indian fight, an encounter with road agents and an exhibition of bronco busting. The committee has been able to furnish all of these entertainments absolutely free of charge, and it's hoped that the carnival will be largely at­ tended. Inc.

Note of Praise to show film Saturday "Christiana", a feature motion picture based on the second part of John Bunyan's immortal classic “Pilgrim's Progress", will be shown on Saturday, Aug. 25,7 p.m., at the Note of Praise, 12223 Chief Noonday Rd., Gun Lake. The motion picture follows the earlier release of the Ken Anderson Films production, "Pilgrim's Progress". Many do not realize that Bunyan struc­ tured his famous book into two parts. His original intention was for only the first part — the story of man's pilgrimage to the Celestial City. So many opportunists tried to pick up where he left off, however, that Bunyan finally yielded to pressure and wrote the official sequel. Part I and Part II are both included in most "Pilgrim’s Progress” publications. “Christiana" follows the experiences of the wife and mother journeying to the Celestial City. She is accompanied by her three children and a reluctant neighbor. Together they face challenging — at times staggering — obstacles to their faith and objectives. The film becomes a parable of life, especially as life relates to Christian women.

"I do n't care who it is, they want to get into the pads,” nods Simpson. "We're going to scrimmage today (Tuesday) after three practices." Simpson says the coaching staff has to guard against over aggressiveness on the part of the players during the first few days of pads practicing as most of the players take aim on early starting nods. Also, because the pads are new to the players, they tend to play Put a new shine to your car and preserve its good looks!

The Woodland Sesqvkentenial Committee al the Woodland Lions’ Den on Thursday evening, Aug. 16. Committee members present were Earl Engle, Tom Niethamer, George Schaibly, Lawrence Chase, Shirley Kilmer, Barbara Dalton and Jim Lucas. Three guests, Catherine Lucas, Mildred Chase, and Willis Dalton, also were present. The committee discussed what their stationery and handout brochure requirements would be in the next three years and decided that Tom Niethamer should go to Hastings and discuss this with the people at the newspaper office. The committee also discussed trying to get a major speaker for the celebration in 1987, whether to try to have historical plates made up, and where to move the old building that is in the way of the new Woodland Township Fire Barn that will be built in the next few years. This old building was the first store in Woodland, and members of the committee feel that it should be preserved if it is at all possible.

Gilmer, RAugusta, a member of the Appropriations Committee, said Tuesday. Gilmer made his remarks to the Banner after local school officials expressed some concern that Hastings might not qualify for bonus school aid of $28 per student being offered by the state. Hastings officials had earlier said that they expected to qualify. At Monday night's school board meeting, Supt. Carl A. Schoessei notified the board that he had received information from the Michigan Association of Schoo’ Boards and the Michigan Association of School Ad­ ministrators that certain percentages of enrollment, which have not yet been set by the state, will be required before the extra state aid is dispersed. Board members expressed concern over a possible change in guidelines and Schoessei said that the matter is on hold until more information is received. The Michigan Dept, of Education is of­ fering $28 per student for those schools meeting certain minimum standards for education. Based on expected enrollment of 3,200 students, K-12, Hastings should receive $89,600 in additional funds. The nine requirements that the district must meet to be eligible for the funds are: —Six class periods of 50 minutes each. Hastings offers six periods of 55 minutes each. —Four years of high school English. —Three years of high school math. Hastings offers four years. —Three years of high school science. Hastings offers four years. —Three years of social studies. —Two years of foreign languages. —Courses in fine arts, performing arts, vocational arts or practical arts. Hastings offers courses in all four areas. —One year of health education and one year of physical education. Hastings offers two years in each. —During the 1985-86 school year, a district must offer a one semester computer course at the high school level. Hastings is already meeting that requirement. Gilmer said that the percentage of enrollment requirement was set up to make it easier (cm- schools to obtain the extra money. “It was basically set up to help multi-high school systems like Detroit, Flint, Grand Rapids and Lansing," he said. "In a system like Hastings where grades nine through 12 are all in one building there shouldn't be any problem," Gilmer con­ tinued. “I can see no reason whatsoever why Hastings won’t receive the extra $28 (per student)." Gilmer did say that the adult education program would not be eligible for the extra funds. The Michigan Dept, of Education is requiring that those school districts which do qualify for the extra money adopt a resolution by Oct. 1 notifying the state of eligibility. The Hastings school board adopt a resolution, Monday. Gilmer said that he intended to contact Phillip Runkel, state superintendent of schools, asking hrm to clarify the requirement for all districts. by Ken Reibel The battle between Algonquin Lake residents and hardy aquatic weeds took a new turn Monday, as homeowners voted to petition Rutland Township for a special weed control tax assessment district Provided enough signatures can be collected by Sept. 4, the Algonquin Lake Community Association (ALCA) could collect approximately $9,400 from the tax on about 367 lakefront parcels in 1985, to fund the spring time application of herbicides to the lake. The go-ahead vote came Monday night during a special meeting of lake residents and the ALCA board. The vote was virtually unanimous among the approximately 50 residents in attendance, with no dissenting votes cast, and several residents abstaining. Paul Richard Dean, ALCA's ex-officio president, said the assessment is needed to provide a secure source of financing for future sprayings. He said it is “very dif­ ficult" to get ad property owners to con­ tribute voluntarily. “About one-third of all the homeowners fund the weed spraying, while the other twothirds go for a free boat ride," said Dean. In order for the petition to be valid, ALCA must collect signatures representing 65 percent of the lake's developed and un­ developed shoreline footage. In the case of joint, husband-wife ownership of a lot, ALCA must collect signatures from both persons to be valid, said Dean. The assessment district would last for three years, beginning in 1985. The cost per developed lot will be up to $50, with a flat $10 fee charged per undeveloped lot. Dean said the cost in 1985 would be ap­ proximately $24 per developed lot, plus an undetermined collection fee. He said ALCA could realize about $9,400 from the 1985 collection. It cost approximately $9,100 for weed spraying this year. Dean acknowledge that the annual spraying is merely "treating tire symptoms” of a much larger problem, that of lake eutrophication caused by an influx of chemical nutrients into Algonquin Lake. Tnose nutrients support a dense growth of plant and animal, life, the decay of which depletes the shallow waters of oxygen in the Nutrients such as nitrogen, potassium and phosporous enter the lake through leaky septic tanks, decaying vegetation, lawn fertilizers and runoff from agricultural land. Added to this is the fact that Algonquin is the last in a chain of lakes, including the heavily populated Leach and Middle Lakes. Dean said ALCA recognizes the problem, and is taking steps to alleviate it. “We are working on that problem too, we're working on it all the time," he said. “You have to keep ?ducatmg people. For instance, we've recommended fertilizers tliat don't add to the lake's nutrient load," said Dean. Mark Anderson. ALCA president, said his group is looking at testing residential septic tanks for leakage, to help homeowners identify a problem. “A lot of thise homes were built in the 30s and 40s, before there were codes,” he said. Anderson said the assessment district will save lake residents money in the long run. “With a more secure system of financing, we can get a long term contract with the weed sprayer, and that will assure a better price," said Anderson. "Also, we can get better service, because the contractor will know he's coming back year after year." Anderson said the ALCA board is not sure if a special election will have to be held once the signatures are gathered, and turned over to the Rutland Township board for verification. “The board can hold a special election at any time, so the Sept. 4 date may not mean anything. That's something the lawyers will have to thrash out next week. “We (the board) are just taking this one step at a time. The next thing we ha ve to do is get signatures collected," said Anderson. Algonquin Lake is an impoundment, created in 1927 by Chicago-based investors interested in developing the newly created 240 acres of lake as a resort. However, the investors liquidated their holdings during the Great Depression, and the riparian and surrounding properties were platted for residential development. Operation HEMP reaps big local marijuana crop Acting on an anonymous tip, given in response to a statewide crackdown on marijuana growers, state police from the Hastings team confiscated 72 marijuana plants from a southwest Barry County location this week. The haul, the largest pulled off this year by the team, is in response to Operation HEMP — an acronym for Help Eliminate Marijuana Planting. The program is part of a crack­ down by Michigan State Police on marijuana growers who are saying yes to Michigan. “We are starting to get some response to Operation HEMP," said LL Richard Zim- merman, team commander. “We know there’s a lot more marijuana being illegally grown and cultivated in Barry County, and we’re asking responsible citizens to help their state police in eliminating this problem.” Zimmerman refused to give details of the most recent confiscation, except to say the plants seized were between seven and nine feet tall, and worth “many thousands of dollars" to marijuana dealers. Zimmerman added that troopers are in­ vestigating the seizure further. summer. Residents protest adult classes at elementary Residents near Southeastern Elementary School appeared at the Hastings school board meeting, Monday, to protest holding adult education classes at the school. Donald and Connie Spencer, 502 E. Hubble St., told the Hastings Board of Education that they are concerned about holding the adult classes in a building that houses kin­ dergarten through sixth grade students, including three of their children. “I'm apprehensive about the decision and I’m also wondering if it wouldn't be better to have the adult education classes at the high school." Spencer said. He added that paricing in the area is already a problem. Currently the board has plans to hold four adult education classes at the school, office skills, math, English and social studies. Supt. Carl A. Schoessei told Spencer that school officials intend to monitor the parking situation. "We feel we have considered all factors and anticipated any problems," Schoessei said. • Schoessei said that contact between the adults and children will be “minimal”. "The adults will have a separate entrance, separate bathrooms and the kids will get out at 3 p.m. and the adults at 4 p.m,” he said. All adult education classes will be held in one wing of the building and there will be morning classes and afternoon classes which Continued on Pago 2 Brother, sister suspects held for trial A Battle Creek man and his sister have been bound over to Barry County Circuit Court in connection with the January. 1984 breaking and entering of S. Bedford Road residence. Steven Leslie Carnes, 23, and Diana Lynne Russell, 24. are scheduled to be arraigned in Barry Circuit Court Sept. 7 at 9 a.m. Carnes is currently being held in the Barry County Jail in lieu of $2,500 cash or surety bond, while Russell is free after posting a bond for $5,000 or 10 percent. According to Detective Kenneth DeMott of the Barry County Sheriff Department, the couple is responsible for the break-in and burglary of a Baltimore Township home last winter, in which a large amount of antiques, including a grandfather clock, were stolen. The homeowner has since recovered most of the stolen property, said DeMotl. The defendants are the brother and sister of Danny Rae Carnes, 22, also of Battle Creek, who is scheduled for examinaton in Barry County District Court Sept. 5. He is one of three Battle Creek men charged with ;he July 21 burglary of the Summit Steel Corp, warehouse on Railroad Street. DeMott said police are able to tie Diana Russell and Steven Carnes to their brother, and a burglary ring which, police say, is responsible for over 18 break-ins in Barry County. and scores more in a four-state area. The other two charged with the Summit Steel burglary are Bert Miner. 42, and Daniel Eugene Seller, 26. Seller's exam is also scheduled for Sept. 5, while exam for Miner is on open adjournment. Law enforcement officers investigating the trio say they are responsible for at leksl 18 break-ins in Barry County, and scores more in four states. Hearing the case will be Eaton County District Court Judge Joseph L. Bauers. The judge was appointed to the case after Barry District Judge Gary Holman disqualified himself from hearing the case, at the urging of the attorneys who are representing the trio. Holman disqualified himself after hearing objections from attorneys, who said that information used by Holman to set the men's bond could be prejudicial. The information, prepared by the Barry County prosecutor’s office, said the men were part of a burglary ring, and further noted each man's criminal history, including that of defendant Miner, who has nine previous felony convictions. The information also carried a comment from an investigating detective, who said the defendants may skip bail if the amount was not set high.

August 30. 1984 Mayor’s tie-breaker allows blacktop work VIEWPOINT Commentaries from our editorial staff and the community — EDITORIAL Quality Education Communities must pay Barry County citizens as a whole have heen supportive of their school systems, constructing new schools when necessary, keeping them properly maintained, providing full curriculums, seeking qualified teachers and administrators and keeping active in support organizations. Trouble has developed in two county districts, however, that is reminiscent of the problems that Hastings schools had to overcome in the last fr'e years. Communication between school officials and employees and the citizens appears to have broken down in Delton and Maple Valley districts and that may cause severe financial hardship for the schools. Both districts have had millage increase proposals turned down already this summer. Maple Valley voters will go to the polls again on Sept. 12 and Delton voters face new proposals on Oct. 8. The problem is clear that the schools need more money to operate. Maple Valley has one of the state’s lowest operating millages and without more money may even lose a bonus state aid program set up by the legislature. Delton schools have had a big drop in enrollment without a similar drop in costs. Since state aid is tied to enrollment, the drop means less money from the state. In small communities like Delton and the Maple Valley area, the schools are the adhesive which holds the community together, binding the social life of the people and attracting new people to the area. When the schools deteriorate, so do the communities. We’re not in a position to tell the citizens what they should do or to advise school board members and administrators how to get their millages approved. We can say that a big part in getting the Hastings millage increase passed and getting overwhelming approval for a millage renewal was the efforts made by the school employees, board members and administrators to open up communications with the public. The people here now have a better understanding of the needs of the schools and the people who run the schools have a better un­ derstanding of what the citizens expect. Quality education is not an inexpensive commodity. It is an in­ vestment in communities, people, children and the future that must be made. In other butineas: Council combined, for the time being, the job of city building inspector and engineer's draftsman. The move came after the Dwight Hewitt, who previously held the position, changed to the Editor. Consumers Power gives its reply To the Editor: This is in response to your recent editorial, "The Midland Plant: 'who Should Pay”, discussing Consumers Power Company’s filing a request with the Public Service Commission to recover construction costs at Midland. The key sentence in the editorial con­ cluded, "... and it is not fair to expect the ratepayers to provide all the funds needed to bail out the company.” We share your concern for fairness. Construction of the Midland project was part of Consumers Power's good faith effort to meet the future needs of its customers. It was not as your editorial claimed "basically a bad business decision" or “a grand .scheme". The reason for starting Midland const ruction when we did was the forecast for the need for power. While the dates and dollar figures changed over the years, the remaining fact is that there is still the need for the amounts of power as represented by Midland Unit 2. Unfortunately, Consumers Power was forced to shut down construction because we were unable to reach an agreement needed tosecure continued financing to complete the project. We filed with the PSC to recover the amount to which we feel we are legally en­ titled. Of course we recognize the regulatory and political climate which surrounds this issue. We welcome negotiations with stale officials and other interested parties. Consumers Power has a commitment to (he people of Michigan to keep the lights on and the gas flowing. We intend to hono. that commitment as we have fur the past 98 years. A fair resolution to the Midland plant issue will allow us to regain the financial stability we need to continue the reliable service our customers expect and deserve. William D. Hubbell Area Manager An open letter to the superintendent of Delton-Kellogg School... You say you don’t understand why the people voted no on your millage election. I don’t think you understand what the election process is all about. Election means giving the people a choice to vote according to what they think is needed and what they can afford. Yes on this and no on that as they feel is right. When you say, “we’ve got to have it all", you are being greedy. We sometimes have to tone down our needs according to our financed We don't have to have it all. The Delton area people have been good over the years. They have voted yes on anything reasonable and needed, but they ----------v don't like ic to be Lc pushed into voting rm for ­ something «k-..A they don't ...u: think t.:is _ needed J_J«in order . to vote for what is needed. So if you are going to play “whole hog or none”, as an old far­ mer put it, you'll likely get none. Now answer me this: our property valuation was raised $29,150 this year, ac­ cording to Bill Wooer. This brings in more school money (if we can dig up the money to pay the taxes). Now where is that money going? That should cover any extra millage you are asking for. I am definitely pro-education and have had an interest in this district for most of the last 30 years. I think it’s time to go back to the basics and more discipline. When we can see the educational process is improving, we’ll think about more millage, if it’s needed. You have to earn a raise before you get it Questions: — Updating the superintendent's office why? — Where did the money come from? — School repair ■ is it true that this job was not open for bids? If not - why? — Why don’t I hear of the superintendent being more involved in school problems instead of delegating the job to someone else? It’s time for the people in this community to speak up. It's your tax dollars they are after. Let’s make the next election for: 21.1 mills. 2 mills, and 1 mil) like it should be.

Council gave permission to the chief of police to seek bids on a new police cruiser. Police Chief Mark Steinfort said the new vehicle is needed to replace a 1983 Dodge which currently has over 50,000 miles on it. Steinfort said that by the time the car is retired, it will have between 70,000 and 80,000 miles.

The superintendent also said that many adults who will be attending classes are parents in the Southeastern school district and are within walking distance of the school. In a later interview, Mrs. Spencer said, “I understand the school's position and ap­ preciate the fad that they are trying to economize. I just don't see that this is the place to put adults. I don’t think this is the place to combine them." Don Spencer said that he was concerned concerned because there will be between 30 to 60 adults at any given time and parking will be a problem. "We don’t want to come across as being against adult education. We are in favor of it," he said. Spencer said that the board told him there were empty rooms at the high school. He said that he is also concerned about children walking to school with all of the extra traffic in the area. “I never did find out what other alter­ natives were considered and they didn’t Henry appointed to seat on Delton School Board —Set atlJetic gate fees for 1984-85 at the same rate as the last school year. —Established tuition rates for 1984-85 at $75 for kindergarten through sixth grade; and $200 for seventh through 12th grades. —Approved the ise of school grounds for Rocket Football games and practice sessions. —Heard an update on the status of the energy conservation project which is ex­ pected to be completed by the end of Sep­ tember or early October.

A tie-breaking yes vote by Hastings Mayor William Cook cleared the way Monday night for improving a newly developed street on the city's north side. By a 5-1 vole, council affirmed the assessment roll for blacktop, curb and gutter on North Ferris Street, 132 feet north of Lincoln Street, for the owners of three new homes. Council had previously denied the im­ provements after hearing from the owners of a comer lot who objected to the way the city assessed such improvements. Don Myers. 703 E. Lincoln, said he “didn’t think it was fair" that he should pay for one half of the improvements to the street, when there are three homes involved. Myers has already been assessed for sewer and water hookups to the other two homes, even though his contractor had installed those improvements at his home in the past. Counseling, jail ordered for offender James T. Henry, a former school board member, has been appointed to fill the unexpired term of Penelope (Penny) Hogan who resigned recently from the Delton Kellogg Board of Education. Henry was selected Monday by the board to fill the term which expires June 30, 1985. Henry obtained the third highest number of votes when he ran as an unsuccessful candidate in the recent annua] school board election which filled two seats on the board. His previous four-ysars of experience on the board and the vote tally in the election were factors in Henry's selection to fill the vacant board position, said Superintendent Dr. John Sanders. Henry, 37. of 4226 Joy Rd., Shelbyville, is employed as a branch manager for Atlas Truck Rental and Leasing. He has been serving on the Barry Intermediate Board of Education and previously spent four-years as a member of the Delton Superintendent's Advisory Committee. He is treasurer of St. Francis Church. He and his wife, Shirley, have two children: Jay, 18, and Tricia, 13. In other business Monday, the board: —Aadopted a resolution authorizing the district to borrow $368,978 for operations against anticipated tax collections, as previously discussed. Sanders said the board normally experiences a cash flow problem at this time every year because taxes are only collected annually rather than twice a year (winter and summer) as in some districts. He said the board would normally be borrowing about $700,000 but is limited to a lower amount because it only has eightallocated mills from Barry County for operations because of the past two-millage defeats.

A Barry-Eaton Circuit Court judge ordered psychological counseling and ten months in jail Friday for an 18-year-old woman ac­ cused of attempting sexual contact on a boy under 13 years of age. Nancy Lynn Padgett, Doster Road, Plainwell, will be released from jail to attend counseling, according to the sentence handed down by Judge Hudson E. Deming. In addition, she will serve five years probation, and perform 400 hours of com­ munity service at the rate of three hours per week. Deming also ordered Padgett to pay the balance of any monies due after insurance payments for any counseling of the victim. The judge also stipulated that Padgett shall have no contact with any person under 18 years of age without an adult being present. Before passing sentence, Deming noted a large number of letters he had received stating that Padgett*'should absolutely not go to jail." Deming said that Padgett’s father is a minister, and that many of the letters came from his parishioners. However, Deming took note of some letters which expressed views that Padgett “has done harm to some young children." address onestlon shoot monitor I l.r. address my question about monitors. I left without any answers," he said. In other action at the meeting, the board adopted the personnel recommendations made by Schoessel on a 5-1 vote. Trustee Ann Ainslie voted no and Dr. William Baxter was not present at the meeting. Ainslie said that she was in favor of the report in general, but disagreed with granting a one year leave of absence to high school business teacher Nancy Cottrell for child care. “My disagreement is with the HEA (Hastings Education Association) contract concerning a leave of absence. Child care alone is not specified," Ainslie said. The HEA contract does provide for ex­ tended maternity leave, but a maternity leave was not granted in Cottrell's case, so it cannot be extended. Ainslie suggested that the language of the contract be changed to address this problem. As part of the personnel report, the board recalled three teachers from layoff status — Sam Marfia, junior high science; Kathy Olivei, high school social studies; and Mariam Sorby, part-time health aide. “We are down from 25 on layoff to six this year," Schoessel told the board. In other business the board: —Accepted $1,538 in gift money from the Hastings Band Boosters and the Hastings . Junior Tennis Association for the purchase of sweaters for junior high band members and warmup suits for the high school girls tennis team. —Awarded a bid of $13^52 to Renner Motors for the purchase of a 1985 Dodge truck. —Awarded a bid of $15,323.07 to Michigan School Service for the replacement of 210 physical education lockers at the high school. Scheessel told the board that only the worst lockers are being replaced and that this was not total replacement. —Presented Charles Andrus, general manager of Frantz Buick-Chevrolet, a certificate of appreciation for supplying and maintaining vehicles for the summer drivers’ education program. —Granted a 25 cent per hour increase to the secretaries in the Central Administation Office, making their rate of pay consistent with the maximum for other building secretaries. Only one secretary will qualify for the increase. Board President Diane Hoekstra explained the new financial statements which have been condensed into fewer pages, but offer the same information. Hoekstra said that individual lists of checks written are available at the meetings for anyone who wants them. PUBLIC OPINION Financial disclosure — How much is enough? James Frederick Foote, 21, E. Colfax Street, received four months* in jail for probation violation. According to court information, Foote had been serving probation for a February, 1963 assault charge when he was arrested last May for driving under the influence of alcohol. •• Deming credited Foote with 85 days already spent in jail. Lloyd Alien Wilson, Jr.. 17, Burlington, Mich., was sentenced to three months in jail and five years probation for joyriding. Wilson was also assessed $450 in fines and costs, and ordered to pay restitution of $1,356. Roger Dennis Bibbler, 28, Saranac, waived his arraignment and had a not guilty plea entered for him on charges of larceny over $100 and receiving and concealing stolen property. Pre-trial for Bibbler is scheduled for Sept. According to court information, prosecutors allege that Bibbier stole a Honda three-wheel motor vehicle, and concealed it. Correction A court story in the August 23 Banner erred in quoting court information which stated that Betty Jean Mayberry. S. Bedford Rd., and a co-defendant forged a check for $500. That sentence should have read "Barry County prosecutors alleged that Mayberry and a co-defendant forged a check.” Mayberry was acquitted Aug. 20 on charges of check forgery and uttering and publishing.

In accordance with a recent Supreme Court ruling stemming from a Minnesota lawsuit, the Hastings Jaycees plan to open its doors to women, according to the local organization's president. Stacey G. Garrison, president of the Hastings Jaycees, says his club plans a Sept. 5 vole to change existing by-laws and allow women to join the previously select male organization. The 26-member Hastings Jaycees thus will join a growing list of Michigan Jaycee clubs which have been forced to change by-laws in the wake of a U.S. Supreme Court decis!on on July 3 requiring the segregated community service club to include women. The nine-member Hastings Jaycettes organization has been disbanded, says Garrison, with any of those women now eligible to join the Jaycees. "At this point we are accepting women to join," says Garrison. "We offer an ex­ tremely warm welcome to them and ap­ preciate all their work in the past." Garrison says the idea of women joining the jaycees can only bring positive results. “Yes, I think so," he says. "How can you have a community group and not have women involved?" Garrison believes the Hastings Jaycees could double its size in the next year by allowing women to join. At first, he sees the club picking up mainly the spouses of Jaycce members, but soon could add single women looking to join a community service group. “We feel the meetings will be more in­ teresting with more people to run programs," says Garrison. "I think we could hit 50 members and maybe 50 per cent of that group would be women.” Garrison doesn't expect the Jaycees to lose any members because of the ruling, and in fact, notes many of the club's past projects, such as a haunted bouse, childrens’ Christmas party and a canoe race, were run in conjunction with the Jaycettes. “Both organizations need to join together to make things happen," says Garrison. The Hastings president believes the Jaycees could only be the first of several previously select male organizations forced to change by-laws. "I see Kiwanis, Rotary and the Lions being challenged," offers Garrison. "Someday, some woman will challenge these groups and maybe force them into changing. At some point it will come up in the courts and force them to change." The Supreme Court ruling was the result of a lawsuit in which the Minnesota Jaycees contended they were exempt from a state accommodation law. That law. like similar laws in Michigan and 35 other states, prohibits discrimination based on race, sex or national origin in public places. The Supreme Court, reversing an appeals court decision which earlier qualified Jaycee organizations as “public," decided the Jaycees' ’nembership was not selective enough to be protected under thr right of free association.

The Coats Grove couple will be inducted into the Michigan Farmers Hall of Fame on 1-abor Day during 1 p.m. ceremonies at Prairieville Old Fashioned Farm Days. Hildred and Lawrence, who will celebrate their 50th anniversary this December, farmed together all their married life until their retirement in 1973. As children, they lived five-miles from each other but didn i meet until they were 18. They were married at the home of her parents, Effie and Ora Lehman, on M-66. A .iative of Barry County who was raised on a farm, Hildred says her birthplace was known as Warnerville at the time she was bom. She attended country schools and after graduation worked sorting beans with 25olher women al an elevator in Woodland. ‘‘I’ve never had a job outside the home, other than that," she says. Helping Lawrence with the milking and other farm chores kept her very busy in addition to raising the couple's four sons — Gordon, David, and identical twins Robert and Roger. Being involved in church activities at Kilpatrick United Brethren has been an important part of Hildred's life. She is lay leader of the church and serves as president of its ladies missionary society. She is chaplain of the Gideon's auxiliary in Barry County. Also a member of the Woodland Women’s Study Club, Hildred says she enjoys making quilts and has made many over the years. Hildred and Lawrence gel a lot of enjoyment from their 11-grandchildren and two great­ grandchildren, she says. She also spends some time helping her husband with his work al Woodland Town­ ship Memorial Park where he has been superintendent of the cemetery since 1955. When i< comes to baking, Hildred has a long history of experience. "I did baking at a young age. I worked along with my mother in the kitchen when I was only a girl." she said. At the age of eight, she was baking two cakes a day for neighbors. One of Hildred's treasured (and delicious) recipes is for fried cakes which she shares with readers this week. It was given to her by her mother, Effie Lehman. That same recipe is used by Hildred's daughter-in-law, Jean Chase, for various church functions at the Woodgrove Parish and for the Lakewood Friendship Festival where the fried cakes have become an annual popular attraction. Fried Cakes Ingredients: 1-cup mashed potatoes, 4Tablespnons butter, 1-cup regular milk, Gteaspoons baking powder, 1-teaspoon salt, 3eggs, 14-cup sugar, S-cups flour, 2-teaspoons nutmeg, and 3-Tablespoons vanilla.

Page 9 Race held at Crystal Lake on Saturday Hastings runners fare well Five Hastings runners fared very well in the Crystal luike Team Marathon, a rather unique road racing event now in its fourth year On Saturday. Aug. 18.55 five-person teams gathered in Beulah's lakefront park for the start of the 1984 event. Among the 55 teams were five Hastings runners who had tabbed themselves the Hastings Old Boys”. The name was a carry-over from 1983 when a team of runners from Hastings and Mid­ dleville, all over 30 years of age, had entered this same race. The 1984 team was not quite so old. Two of the '83 runners were unavailable, and they had been replaced by Mike Shaw, 18, and Wayne Oom, 16, both members of the Hastings High School cross country team. The other team members (hold overs from 1983) were Frank Schwartz, 31, Jack Longstreet, 37. and Kevin Woods, 35. The race started under windy, overcast conditions and Kevin Woods, the lead runner for Hastings, found himself in 20th place after the first mile, which he ran in 5:48. Woods moved through the field during tne hilly third and fourth miles, competing the first five-mile segment in 12th place with a 30:03 time. Jack Longstreet then took over for Hastings and quickly moved into 11th place on the hilly second segment of the course. Jack had to contend with road construction and poor footing during his five-mile run. but maintained the team's position and finished his segment in 30:41. Mike Shaw ran the third five-mile leg over a course that was hilly for the initial two miles before levelling out along the lake's shoreline drive. Shaw closed the gap on the 10th place runner as he completed his leg in 30:45. Wayne Ojm was the fourth Hastings runner, and he quickly moved past two other teams into ninth place on the flat, fast course. Wayne’s performance gave the team a real boast as he moved them into better position for a team medal. His time for the five-mile segment was 28:20. Frank Schwartz had the difficult final segment — a 10 kilometer (6.2 mile) run — in which he would face the best the other teams had to offer. Frank opened up with a 5:00 first mile, trying to add to his lead over the 10th place team. But Frank was facing John Beach, one of the state's premiere master runners and a man capable of covering the 10K distance in 32 minutes. By the 23rd mile. Hastings was again in 11th place and right on the heels of the 9th and 10th place teams. At the 26-mile mark. Schwartz had to fend off another challenger in order to finish in 11th place overall. The team's time for the 26.2 miles was 2:34:24, an average pace of 5:53 per mile, and 1:24 faster than the 1983 team. By finishing 11th. the team earned silver medals (2nd place) in the 26-33 (average age) category. Several of the teams ahead of Hastings were college cross country teams, including two teams from Saginaw Valley Stale College. Easy’s Eaves win SummerFest tourney The Third Annual Hastings Summerfest Men’s Slo Pitch Softball Tournament came to a close late Sunday afternoon, with Easy's Eaves of Marshall, defeating R.A. LaBeuf of Battle Creek, twice, 13-11 and 12-8. On a beautiful, sunny day, with a steady breeze blowing out to left field, there were a total of 43 home runs hit in a six game span. Nineteen were hit in the championship playoff, which became a personal home run derby batUe between Greg Laskey of Easy's Eaves and Rick Miller of LaBeuf's. The two sluggers hit 10 H R s apiece with Miller garnering the tournament H.R. trophy, having produced his 10 in five games, compared to Laskey's seven games. Easy's arrived al the championship through the losers bracket. They were defeated in their First game by the Avenue Pub of Hastings, 12-7.

Laskey, Sayer, and Mike Beamer each hit a homer, and combined to drive in seven runs. Rubin Vela, and Dana Billeadeaux had three hits each for the Dairy Queen. A seven run fifth inning brought Easy’s from behind in their next game against the Valley Boys from Nashville, prevailing 10-6. Howard Downing had four hits, and Dave Kenyon three for the Valley Boys. In their first game Sunday, Easy's trailed the Avenue 3-0, when they exploded for 11 runs in the third, and six runs in the fourth to win 17-4. Laskey hit three H.R.s and the Nobodies from Detroit were Easy’s last hurdle to the championship, as they puunded out 10 homers to win. The first game of the championship saw Easy’s jump out to a 13-5 lead, and they withstood a comeback by LaBeufs to hold on 13-11. The Eavesman banged out s>x homers, with Laskey getting two, and Sayers, Bivens. Beamer and Lawrence hitting one each. Miller hit two, and Bob Madden one for LaBeufs. The final game, won by Easy's 12-8, was tied 5-5 after four innings, when LaBeufs scored two in the fifth on a home run by Miller, Easy’s came back and scored four in their half on a pair of two run homers by Beamer and Lawrence. LaBeufs made it to the ch. mpionship round as the undefeated team. They defeated the Dairy Queen Saturday morning 12-0. Bob Madden and Rick Miller had two homers apiece and combined for eight RBI’s. LaBeufs trailed the Avenue Pub, in their next game, but rallied to win the only extra inning game of the tournament 12-11.

M.V.P. Greg Lasky. Saxons gear up for annual scrimmage Just like major league baseball teams suffer through the "dog days" of late August Jeff Simpson said his team has had enough of intra-squad play and is ready for some live action Tlie Hastings football coach says his team, which started conditioning practice three weeks ago. is eager to host Plainwell this Friday at 4 p.m. in its annual season­ preparing scrimmage. The Saxons completed a Blue-Gold intra­ squad scrimmage last Saturday with the Gold rallying in the last minute for a 25-22 win. Simpson, who was impressed with the offense he saw in the game, said the teams were equally divided by lettermen and position. "It went real well," said Simpson of the scrimmage. “I was real pleased. It showed the kids there is real talent out there.” Specifically, Simpson was impressed with the line play of tackles Jan Douglas and Scott Price, guards Wayne Meade and Jon Christensen, and center Floyd Gates. Simpson also liked the backfield of fullbacks Dave Kensington and Tim Hubert and tailbacks Bruce Hoffman and Jim Cruttendon. Simpson said the line play, a Saxon weakness a year ago, is a particular key to success in 1984. "Right now we’re ahead of the game,” he said. The annual scrimmage with Plainwell, now some 20-plus years old, should offer even more insight into the Hastings team. Each team will run 20 offensive and defensive plays al a time in the two-hour controlled scrimmage. "Plainwell always has good, well-coached talent,” said Simpson. “Il gives us an in­ dication of how we'll do during the season. If we play well, it gives us a real opportunity to win going into the Lakewood game. Hastings is finishing up the last of the twoa-day practices this week. The start of the school year, and one-a-days, begins next week. So far, Simpson is satisfied with what he’s seen of the 1984 Saxon team. “We're satisfied," said Simpson. "We want the kids to know their responsibilities, to be able to keep their poise, and eliminate mental lapses. And things are going well there." Hastings Indoor Soccer League still has room for players The YMCA-sponsored adult Hastings Indoor Soccer League is looking for players for its fall league. Any man or women 18 years or older is eligible to play in the league, which starts Sept. 19. Registrations are due by Sept. 12. The league has room fcr only 48 players. Games will be played on Wednesday nights in the Hastings High School gym. One of the league's organizers, Doug The thrill of victory or... this which was unbeaten in 15 games. Cappons finished at 11-4 with eight of those wins shortened to only five innings due to the mercy rule. Cappons had to beat Hastings City Bank, which also finished 11-4, in a playoff to finish second. “It was a tight game,” said Fager. "The City Bank team played an excellent game.” Fager said the game was no more than she had seen from her team the entire season. “These lades pul forth so much effort and pulled together like no team I'd ever seen,” said Fager.

" Sports..• Cappons takes second place Despite being a first-year club, Cappons • team in the Hastings women:; softball league was able to win 11 of 15 games for a com­ fortable second place finish. Pitcher-coach Marie Fager said her team was a relatively inexperienced team this summer. The women averaged between 18 and 45 years old, with three of them never had played softball before. “We worked very hard to finish second," said Fager. “There were some pretty tough teams in the league which makes our finish much more meaningful." Cappons finished behind Art Meade Auto, Senior end Gregg Schaeffer gathers in a pass during Saxon football drills last week.

Dick Shaw. Denny Webb and Ron Nash for their dependability, fairness and especially their good humor while umpiring our games this season. And to Julie Greenfield for the good job maintaining the field. Thank you. The Hastings Women's Softball League JI was one of those ideas that sounded awfully good at the time, but eventually turns into disaster. We all conceive hairbrain ideas like these, but it seems some of us think up more of them than others. I figured what the heck, l*d been throwing stones since I was old enough to aim them at passing cars, how embarrassing could it be to enter a stone skipping contest? It would be a great chance to dodge an hour's worth of work on a Saturday, so I told my editor I’d do the paper a favor and enter last Saturday’s Sum­ merfest stone skipping contest at the Fish Hatchery. So much for spur of the moment brainstorms. The rules were simple: bring your own rocks (we experts brought shale), throw one stone in each of five rounds, and the person who skips his rock the most times was the winner. Sounds like a piece of cake, right? As Joan Rivers might mimic to her audience, "Oh, grow up!’’ First of all, two days were wasted just toddling around the county sear­ ching for the right rocks, er, shale. As of three hours before the contest, the potential winning stones still couldn’t be located. Finally, on the way through Lake Odessa Saturday morning J spied a driveway full of perfect shale skippers. That driveway is now lacking five rocks and for that I do apologize to the unknown owners, whom 1 hope fail to read this column. But with so little time left before the big moment, what was a contestant supposed to do? The contest eventually began and. fortunately, I was the last entrant to throw. An advantage. I sensed, because it would give me time to size up the competition. As it turned out. nearly 20 merchantsponsored skippers fired, dribbled, flipped, and dubbed their precious stones across the waler until at last it was my turn. Piece of cake. 1 said to myself, gathering up my best rock My first throw slammed the water once, skipped neatly off the surface. and then proceeded to sink as fast as the Andrea Dorea. The judges, appearing to me quite guilty of trying to suppress a good chuckle, huddled briefly and then announced to the crowd my throw was good fur two skips, or rather, last place at the end of one round. Looking back. I think it was right about then I began hoping I could think of another assignment to get me out of there. Round two began and Greg Rodenbeck, obviously a ringer who should have competed against the pros, fired one stene which skipped an incredible 21 times. The thought ol wading into the Fish Hatchery to retrieve the stone (which was probably motor driven) occurred to me, but since my turn was coming up I decided against risking it. As I lined up for my second loss. I thought there was no way possible way this toss could be as humiliating as the first one. It was possible. No matter what system of math you learned, one is always less than two. The stone left my hand and zoomed straight into the water...without skipping. The unbelieving — but grinning — judges naturally scored it as a one. Right about then I cursed the editor for forcing me to enter this deplorable •contest.’’ My next two throws were somewhat better, although Rodenbeck was in virtually no danger of me snatching the lead away from him. Finally Doug Vickery, in astute charge of the skipping proceedings, announced to the contestants. "O.K., this will be your last throw." Only the seven kindest words I had heard in a long time. With the pressure off, 1 managed to skip my last stone nine times. Big deal. By then, of course, my hand had stopped clutching my throat and those choking noises had subsided. Despite all the embarrassment caused by most of my throws, there are probably worse ways to spend a Saturday afternoon. There must be. �Page 10— The Hostings Bonner— Thursday.

Page 11 Lake Odessa News First in a New Series Writings from a local adult writing class try to help each other" without using negative criticism, said Mrs. Underwood. Assignments in the class are varied and the students are sometimes asked to ex­ periment with different kinds of writing such as various types of poetry, fables, and journals. Students often like to write about special memories and re-create experiences with a creative flair. In the weeks ahead, the Banner will bp featuring sei * rted writings from members of the creative writing class. The first is the work of Alice Craven which follows: Some students might balk at the idea of continuing classes through the summer, but not Elizabeth Underwood's creative writing group. Mrs. Underwood conducts the class under the umbrella of Betty Heidt’s adult education program in Hastings and the response has been so enthusiastic that an average of six to eight classmates have continued to meet occasionally during the summer. In September, the group will again meet regularly each week. “They really teach each other. H’s a sharing kind nf class where they (members) The Garden Books by Alice M. Craven When the new seed catalogs arrived, I looked at all the pictures of the luscious vegetables. As in each preceding year, I was excited about planting my garden. But the catalog pictures and my end results are two different things. The catalog shows beautiful, red, ripe tomatoes — a hole vine full of them. My experience is: one or two ripen at a time. My vines are fall of tomatoes in all stages from the blossoms to the ripened fruit. Very seldom do I have a tomato without flaws — from dry rot spots to splits from rain or too rapid growth. But each year I plant and efream of bushes of ripe, red tomatoes all hanging down like these in the pictures. The cucumbers look ctol and firm and a pretty green in the pictures but you can’t fee) the stickers on them in the picture. You really should pick them with gloves on. The catalog also tells you how many seeds you need to make a certain length row. For some reason, my seeds don't always grow. Last year I put eight to ten seeds in a hill instead of the three or four seeds that the book says. They all grew and I had vines growing on top of vines until they were a foot thick. I had to roll them over like a bushel basket to find the cucumbers. I canned pickles by the gallon. According to the book, so many beans will produce so many quarts of beans. They must figure that for just one picking. 1 gave a way­ beans last summer to friends until, when they called on the phone and I’d start to say, “Would you like any...”, my friends would say, “No thanks,” and hang up! In the book, carrots are so pretty and all uniform in size and shape. When mine grow, each carrot gets about three to five tails on it and a width of about two inches across the top. Now. who can make carrot sticks out of that? And the worms and bugs! Who ever saw a bug on a bush in the books? They tell you to use blank-blank powders on the underside of the leaves to keep the bugs from eating your plants. Now, how do you powder the un­ derside of the leaves in a garden full of vegetables? I don’t know how — so I powder the tops and the bugs eat their way through the poison. Always I have very lacy leaves before the bugs generally the. The seed catalogs never show the moths flying around, either. One year I tried to grow everything by the Organic Gardening book. I planted the marigolds next to the potatoes to keep the bugs off the potatoes. The flowers looked pretty in the garden — but the bugs didn’t seem to understand why they were there. They not only ate the potato leaves but got on the carrots and tomatoes, too. I went back to early morning powdering of my whole garden. If the chemicals aren't good for me. 1 guess I'll have to die early. At least I’m not eating the worms. The Cocoon by Alice M. Craven A cocoon on my window sill lay For weeks in the sun and the rain, Until one day movement took place As 1 watched it so close through the pane. I saw a butterfly trying to emerge. Twistiig and struggling so hard; 1 wanted to help the poor creature so bad, I took my shears out in the yard, Snipped his prison just once. And gave him his freedom. I thought. He struggled and moved a few times, And that was the last that he fought. That butterfly needed to work And gain strength before he could fly; I took this privilege away And all that was left was to die. And so with our children at times. We’ve tried to save them some pain. We’ve cut the strings to their growth By handing out favors again. They need to gain strength for their wings And fly away, far from the nest. As parents we can’t see them hurt; We think we know what is best. Let's let them make their own mistakes And pay their penalties, too; They'll never be strong and secure If we keep paying their dues. The cocoon which lay on my windowsill there Needed both the sun and the rain. To harden and firm the outer shell Gaining strength through the struggle and strain. Since Grandma Has Gone Back to School by Alice M. Craven The house is a mess, the dishes aren't done. But Gram pa thinks everything's cool. He's proud of his woman, the things she has done, Since Grandma has gone back to school. The children bemoan, their main sitter is gone. Grandkids don’t get down to the pool To daydream with her. as in days of yore, Since Grandma has gone back to school. The bread is now bought, not baked as before; Nu smells there to make your mouth drool. The jar sits so empty, where cookies were kept. Since Grandma has gone back to school. Sewing room so empty, no patterns about, Can't find any thread on the spool. Material is folded and all put away. Since Grandma has gone back to school. Weeds in the garden are so tall. And rusty the old hoeing The bugs and the worms having a feast. Since Grandma has gone to school. Mildred Shade was the honored guest at a picnic party on Sunday at the Lake Odessa Village Park, held tocelebrale her 81st birth­ day. Twenty-seven members of her families gathered for a potluck and evening of visiting at 5 p.m. Her son. Gene, was the only one of her children unable to attend. The 1982-83 grant on the Lake Odessa home rehabilitation is now terminated. However, the grant serving Odessa Township and the village is more than halfway completed, according to Cheryl Story, the Lake Odessa housing coordinator. She gave a successful grant program tally to the village council at their meeting Monday night. The Village Park was filled Sunday with many reunions which included The Hullibergers. The Heators and others.

The Makleys are former Lake Odessa rural residents who now live at Middle Lake near Hastings. The 1-akc Odessa Village Council finally, after much discussion and a public hearing, passed a burning code. Under the new code, burning will be allowed on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays from noon until sunset and there cannot be any burning on any village street or curb nor any closer than 25 feet from any building and 15 feet from any lot line, plus other restrictions. A carnival was held at the Central United Methodist Church last Friday al the '’lose of the Vacation Bible School Program. A highlight for the students were rides in a horse-drawn wagon, which was a small, twoseated conveyance. Ed Leak was the owner of the vehicle, as well as the driver. This was a new experience for many of the youngsters. Ray and Velma Trumper of rural Lake Odessa were receiving congratulations on their 50th wedding anniversary at an open house on Sunday. August 26. at the Com­ munity Center. Raymond and Lucille (McCartney) Everest were in town Sunday and attended the reunion of the Lake Odessa Class of 1944. They spent the night at Belding, visiting his sister, Thelma, and husband Robert Johnson before returning to Alpena. Lucille, a prominent worker in their American Legion Auxiliary, plans to attend a meeting in Salt Lake City, Utah. The Lake Odessa Class of 1959 celebrated their 25th anniversary last Saturday evening at the Schoolhouse Inn. A social hour was held at 5 p.m., followed by a pig roast and other foods. More than 40 classmates, with husbands ana wives, attended. Dancing was enjoyed during the evening with much reminiscing by the 26 classmates present as some came from North Carolina, Illinois, Sault Ste. Marie and other places in Michigan. Superintendent William Eckstrom and wife Julie were guests and slides of the senior trip, as well as several other slides, were shown by Mr. Eckstrom. Only one member of the class. David Vandecar, is deceased as he was killed in an accident several years ago. with their cameras rolling. At this point, Frank decided maybe he had had enough of the mummy. He went inside his house, came down with an ap­ pendicitis attack and sent his wife out to meet the news people. “Of course,” his daughter said, "he had had his ap^ pendix removed 20 years previous." The poor wife told the news people to come back the next day and Frank would be well. Sure enough, as soon as they left. Frank made an astounding recovery. Under darkness of night, Frank loaded the mummy in a boat and rowed out onto the lake. Tying the mummy with several cement blocks (so it would not surface like the sea serpent), he deep sixed it. The next day Frank Cincebeaux told the returning Pa the News that the mummy had been stolen. Thus ended the mummy. The following fall, Jean Cincebeaux was able to attend the University of Michigan with the nickles and dimes her father received for the viewing of the mummy. The only sour part of the whole story was that Judge Barnett, who conceived, built and promoted the mummy, did not receive one thin dime for all of his efforts. Barnett never quite forgave Frank for being such an outstanding capitalist. DAIRYSALE back And now that the children are all on their own. She says she will not be a fool.

The rest of the story is related by his daughter, Jean, and is as near as possible as it was told to this writer. Frank Cincebeaux would not lie about the mummy’s age; if people wanted to believe it was a real mummy that was not Frank’s problem. When asked about its age he would say he didn't exactly know but... according to ex­ perts in the field... and then he would elaborate about what others said. (Of course by now the leather purse with the information that "John Slogg" belonged to the players had con­ veniently disappeared.) Everyday more and more people arrived from farther and farther away. A steady stream of people began to arrive. Frank worked up a regular spiel which he gave hourly.

George W. Scobey, 434 E Walnut Street, faces up to life in prison when he is sentenced Sept 14 by Barn-Eaton Circuit Court Judge Richard M. Shuster. Through his attorney, Charles Stiles of Lansing, Scobey maintained that his daughter had fabricated the sex charge, and he cited "discipline problems" with the girl.

The I'a-day trial included testimony from a junior high counselor and a protective services worker, who together brought the offense to the attention of police.

State St , Hastings (616)945-5182 Prevent those backace problems The United Statesleads ____ the world in the number of people suffering from low back problems. The current estimate is that eight out of ten people in this country will seek medical treatment for low back pain al least once in their lives. Some of them will have only slight muscle spasms; many others, however, will have serious, potentially disabling, problems. The good news is that the problems, both large and small, can often be avoided. But it does require a bit of commitment and some good old common sense. The Institute for Low Back Care in Minneapolis offers some suggestions that can keep you from ending up in the doctor's office... or on the operating table. — Excess weight and sedentary lifestyle compose a perfect prescription for a low back problem. Get rid of the weight and get some physical exercise. — Some recommended forms of exercise are walking, swimming, hiking, bicycling and cross-country skiing. Risky activities in­ clude: jogging, horseback riding, snowmobiling, rigorous calisthenics, golf and tennis. — It is far better to engage in physical activity in shorter sessions on a regular basis than to overdue it on a sporadic basis. — Avoid long periods of sitting. Getting up and walking for a minute every half hour or so can make a big difference. Sit up straight, but not rigid. — Avoid high-heel shoes. Shoes with heels higher than one inch increase the curve of the low back, thereby straining the spine. — Long-distance driving should include frequent stops for stretching and walking. A pillow placed under the thighs relieves the pressure on the lower back. — Choose a firm, but not rigid, mattress. Also, avoid sleeping on your stomach. The preferred position is on the side, with the knees slightly flexed toward the chest. — Improper lifting can be disastrous. First, don't lift anything that requires a great effort. Any lifting should be done with a slight flexing of the hips, knees and low back. The legs, arms and abdomen — not the low back — should provide the power. — If you are experiencing low back pain, don’t try to "work it out" by exercise. Aspirin, heat and bed rest are recommended as firstline treatments, followed tw a visit to your doctor if there’s no relief after a few days. — Those with severe, ongoing low back problems need not necessarily undergo surgery. Various conservative means of treat­ mentcan often bring relief to many sufferers.

Another burglary suspect bound over A Battle Creek man was bound over to Barry County Circuit Court Tuesday on two counts of burglary after an alleged accomplice described the break-ins to a Barry District Court Judge. Milo Eugene Lake, 129 Tulip Tree Lane, is accused of burglarizing a home located on S. Bedford Road, and another on Center Road. Bond for Lake was set at $2,500 cash or surety bond on each of the two counts. Police have tied Lake to what they describe as a burglary ring responsible for at least 18 break-ins in Barry County, and 80 or more statewide. Stephen Leslie Carnes. 23, Battle Creek, told thecoirlTuesay that he and three other subjects, including Lake, broke into the S. Bedford Road home sometime last winter, and stole household items, including a grand­ father clock and dishes. Carnes identified the other two subjects as his sister, Diane Lynne Russell, and Bert Miner, both of Battle Creek. Carnes said the four of them drove to the S. Bedford Road home in Miner's pickup truck. He said Miner sent him and Lake to the home to gain entry, then the four of them left for a half hour “in case the house had an alarm.’’ Carnes said they returned, entered the home, and stole the items. Carnes and Russell have both pleaded guilty to the break-in. and hr.ve agreed to cooperate with police in clearing up other crimes Carnes's brother, Danny Ray Carnes, and Miner have also been charged with Barry break-ins. Lake is the sixth Battle Creek resident to be cliarged in connection with the alleged burglary ring. Suspect fails to make appearance A bench warrant has been issued for a 33-year-old Hastings man who failed to appear in Barry Circuit Court Friday on a charge of delivery and manufacture of a controlled substance. Wilson Benjamin Grantham, 528 S. Jefferson, was ordered held in con­ tempt of court by Barry-Eaton Circuit Court Judge Richard Shuster, and his $1,000 bond cancelled. Gratham was arrested in June following a drug raid on his home by Hastings City Police. The felony charge of delivery or manufacture of a controlled substance is punishable by up to four years in prison and-or a fine cf not more than $2,000. Confiscated in the raid were several bags of marijuana, worth about $700, and about one pound of marijuana seeds and smoking paraphenalia, said police.

Computers to map groundwater Health and environmental officials from four Southwest Michigan counties, including Barry, are meeting in Kalamazoo today Io discuss the applications of computer programs to the mapping of groundwater location and quality. The data generated from the "Southwest Michigan Groundwater Survey and Monitoring Program" can be used to establish a "baseline” of water quality with which public health officials and others can determine the extent of future con­ tamination, and the location of major aquifers. The pioneering effort to provide a scien­ tific basis for groundwater management is joined by the Science for Citizens Center at Western Michigan University, where today s meeting is being held. Also joining in the effort are the U.S. Geological Survey, and the health departments of Barry, Eaton. Berrien and Calhoun Counties. Barry County will be represented by Science for Citizens Center member V. Harry Adrounie, of Hastings. Each county has already kicked in at least $1,000 seed money, to be used in applying for approximately $146,000 in private grants to fund the project. Donald J. Brown, director of WMU's Science for Citizens Center, said the purpose of Thursday’s joint meeting of the policy board and science advisory group is to acquaint the team with computers and computer software. Brown said the entire project is made possible by computers. "Such an un­ dertaking would not have been possible ten years ago. But with computers, if there is enough data, we can create threedimensional graphic displays of aquifers, and the distribution of chemicals in the groundwater,” said Brown. "There are some pretty powerful computer programs out now that make these things possible.” Brown said the groundwater survey puts Southwest Michigan in a leadership position in the rest of the state. “It is very appropriate for Michigan to undertake such a study because of the abundance of surface and groundwater in the state," said Brown. "But because we are so heavily industrialized, we are among the most heavily polluted slates as well.” Brown said the State of Michigan is in­ terested in the progress of the survey, though no formal relations exist between the state government and the survey team. Part of the data for the computers will come from well logs, which are required of people who drill wells. The logs show dif­ ferent layers of soil, where the waler table is located, and where the rock formations are. The survey will start by mapping out each township, and water samples will be taken at different depths, using existing wells. Sur­ veyors will look for any change in water quality from well to well, and from that data chart aquifer movement. U.S. Geological Survey figures show that water use has more than doubled in the past 30 years, to about 150 billion gallons per day (BGD). That is about 2,000 gallons per day for every U.S. citizen. That figure pales by camparison to the estimated 1.200 BGD streamflow in the country, and the estimated 33 quadrillion <33 million-billion) to 54 quadrillion gallons in underground water sources, called aquifers, which are replenished by rainfall and snowmelt with about 300 trillion gallons each year. There is seemingly enough water to go around, but the figures can be misleading. For one thing, about 75 percent of the U.S. population lives on two percent of the land, and much of the nation's food supply is raised on arid western lands that require extensive irrigation. Vater shortages are already creating serious problems in some areas, particularly where water is being drawn from the ground quicker than rainfall and snow-melt can replace it. In California's San Joaquin Valley, an area the size of the state of Con­ necticut has sunk as much as 30 feet as groundwater has been depleted. In recent years, water supply has become the classic state's rights issue. Michigan and other Great Lakes states are eyed by drier western states to sell fresh lake water to replenish the dry aquifers. Michigan has proposed state legislation to ban any wilhdawals of Great Lakes waler for other states, and has asked other Great Lakes states and Canada to join a compact to protect their common resource. Norma Acker An estimated 3184 students filled classrooms as Hastings Area Schools opened its doors Wednesday morning. Superin­ tendent Carl A. Schoessel reported the 198485 school year began with a minimum amount of confusion as students arrived at the various buildings on bus, car and on foot. Schoessel said the current enrollment is based on the August 29th projection. The official 'fourth Friday’ count last year was 3262. "Those numbers will change for two reasons. Some students will move into the district and some have moved out," Schoessel said. "Central and Northeastern Elementary Schools are full as they were last year and they have essentially the same number of classroom* as last year," he continued. Schoessel said that Southeastern Elementary School is still not full, but has the same number of classrooms as last year, plus about 15 more students. Four classrooms in that building are being used for the audit education program and one classroom has been leased to the Barry Intermediate School District for a program for pre-school children with special needs. Bus schedule, staff changes Because of the bus schedule, the following schools will start and let out at these times: Central, Southeastern and Northeastern Elementary Schools, 8:30 a.m. and 2:45 p.m.; Pleasantview Elementary School, 8 a.m. and 2:15 p.m.; Junior High, 8:30 a.m. and 2:55 p.m.; High School, 8:30 a.m. and 3 p.m. A number of staff and administration changes have occurred over the summer, as well as some curriculum changes and ad- ditions. At the junior high level a block program consisting of home economics, industrial arts, art. and computer literacy will be in­ stituted for seventh graders. Each seventh grader will take each coarse for a nine-week period. Also at the junior high level there will be an elective enriched language arts program for the seventh and eighth graders which focuses on creative writing, along with an advanced physical education program and a second level computer literacy class for eighth graders who took the introductory course the year before. Elementary students will have an op­ portunity to take part in the fifth grade in­ strumental program which is being re­ instated after a three-year absence. The high school curriculum will be the same as last year with the addition of one computer course. Progress of goals With Hie start of another school year, Superintendent Schoessel reflected on the progress of a number of goals which were adopted by the board of education last year and two new ones which the board will vote on at its Septmember meeting. He said that the decision to establish a co­ ordinated testing program on a system-wide basis was made last year and work is con­ tinuing. Steps have also been taken to meet the needs of academically talented students. Schoessel said that more money has been made available from the state and a parttime gifted and talented teacher has been hired. The refinement of personnel performance appraisal and program evaluation is still Continued to Page 2 BIE speaker says,‘Believe in everyone’ by Robert J. Johnston Educators, business and industry leaders attending Tuesday morning’s B1E (Business, Industry and Education) Break­ fast heard the BIE initials given a new meaning — believe in everyone. Bill Sanders, 32, of Kalamazoo, keynote speaker for the second annual BIE Break­ fast, told his audience that if they believe in everyone, then everyone they come in contact with will have a feeling of belonging. The BIE Breakfast, cosponsored by the Hastings Area Chamber of Commerce and the Hastings Public Schools, was held in the cafeteria of Hastings High School. Tying his message into a series of anec­ dotes. Sanders said that he and his audience have the greatest opportunity ever to touch and change lives through the schools. "We're in this thing together." he said. "....The bottom line is the kids." Bill Sanders, keynote speaker at' the BIE Breakfast, called for team­ war1' in the schools. He said that if people took all of their possessions and all of their favorite things and put them in a box, then put one child in another box, none of the things in the box of possessions would matter if anything hap­ pened to the child. “Kids are 100 percent of our future,” Sanders continued. "Theytre not only going to be working for you, you might be working for them, or belter yet. we can work together." Turning his talk to the way people oehave toward each other, he said that he would rather be surrounded by people with fake smiles all day than by sincere frowns. He said that each of us are positively or negatively contagious on one another and that if you walk past most people and smile, they will smile back. Sanders encouraged the business and industry people in the audience to become involved in the schools and help to show the students that what they learn in school can be applied to their future careers. He told his audience to develop teamwork in education and, as an example, said that Canadian geese flying in "V" formation can fly 76 percent further than a single goose flying alone. He said that on their own initiative, geese from the end of the "V" will fly forward to take over the lead position, which is the most work. "Let show the kids, show the community, that we pick up paper that we didn't drop," he said. Sanders said that people have the freedom to change any habit that they want, and that while they can't double their knowledge, they can double their enthusiasm. "BIE — believing in everyone — takes just a little smile or a pat on the back." he said. Fred Jacobs, president of the Hastings About 200 people from business, industry ond education attended the second annual BIE Breakfast at Hastings High Area Chamber of Commerce, said that last yeur’s first BIE Breakfast was focused on the schools, but the second breakfast was to be focus on the leaders of business, industry and education segments of the community. "I'd like to draw attention to you, the leaders from business, industry and education, and to your ability to work together in so many ways this past year," Jacobs said. He pointed to successes in new businesses, industrial growth and com­ munity events as evidence of the support and participation of the business, industry and education people. “We are here to draw attention to the community and its leaders, working together, seeking solutions and putting into action the plans for a better community." Jacobs concluded. Hastings School Superintendent Carl A. Schoessel introduced new teachers and administrators on staff this year.

September 6. 1984 VIEWPOINT: Commentaries from our editorial staff and the community — EDITORIAL Business, Industry, Education: Teeming up for success A prominent figure in Hastings recently stopped one of our staff members on the street just to talk about some of the things he saw happening in the community. He said th»t he was excited about the changes that are taking place and excited about the positive spirit that is evident. His perception is accurate. We see that new positive spirit, too, and it is a far cry from the doldrums that Hastings was in just a few years ago. What is evident is a new effort toward cooperation and teamwork to examine our problems and to solve them. Teamwork may be an overused word that has been used to pump up political campaigns, sports teams and just about any other cause that needed a rallying point. But, the word teamwork carried a strong meaning, yesterday, when the audience at the BIE (Business, In­ dustry and Education) Breakfast was told to team up for the good of the children in our schools. Keynote speaker Bill Sanders, a professional speaker and motivator from Kalamazoo, knew in advance that his audience would consist of people from different segments of the community. Sanders has dedicated his career to speaking to students, teachers and business people about how to improve their lives, their schools and classrooms, and their companies. He took the themes that he uses when he speaks to those groups individually and tied them together by calling for teamwork. Many people in Hastings already know the importance of teamwork. Those who worked on last year’s millage campaigns know that it took teamwork among various community groups to create a block of people who would vote “yes” for better education. Downtown business people know that it takes teamwork among the independent business people to compete against the retailers in nearby metropolitan areas. And the industries and governments in the area know that teamwork has produced the growing efforts being spearheaded by the Joint Economic Development Commission to create a better local business environment. Teamwork between government and business is also producing positive steps to develop and promote a growing tourism industry here. So the message of teamwork was appropriate for the occasion. Knowing that the BIE Breakfast is an effort to create better com­ munications between the schools and the community, Sanders used the word teamwork as a call to arms. He called upon teachers to team up with their students to create an environment for better education and he called on the business and industry people to become involved in the schools and the classroom to help students understand how their education can be relevant to their future careers. Cooperation and teamwork is not an effort to sweep problems under the rug or to pretend that serious differences do not exist on important local issues. But teamwork and cooperation can provide good com­ munications among community groups so that when problems arise, solutions can be agreed upon and actions can be taken to eliminate or reduce the frictions created by disagreement. Sanders’ speech highlights the fact that the meeting together and working together helps us to create a better community. Local farming couple get inducted into hall of fame "When tillage begins, the arts will follow. Farmers, therefore, are the founders of civilization and prosperity.” Those words of tribute offered by Daniel Webster in 1840 were echoed by today’s governmental leaders in Prairieville during Labor Day ceremonies honoring seven Michigan farm couples who were inducted into the Michigan Farmers Hall of Fame Commitments to agriculture and public service are reflected in the farm couples who were selected for induction. Among those honored were Mr. and Mrs. Lawrence Chase of Hastings and former Michigan Director of Agriculture Dean Pridgeon and his wife. Mary, of Mon­ tgomery. Chase farmed in Barry County’s Coats Grove area for 56-years before retirement in 1973. Lawrence and Hiidred still reside on the original 80-acres of a farm that was pur­ chased in 1878 by his grandparents. The Chases’ son. David and wife. Brenda, now own the family farm which has been ex­ panded in acreage. Lawrence has been a part of numerous agricultural related organizations and has been superintendent of Woodland Memorial Park for 29-years. He served 20 years on the Woodland Township Board of Review. Chase also is serving his third six-year term on the Barry County Jury Board to which he was, appointed by Gov. William Milliken in 1969. He and his wife are active in the Kilpatrick United Brethren Church where he is. treasurerand she is lay leader and president of the ladies missionary group. The Pridgeons are fifth generation far­ mers on the family's Branch County farm established in the mid-1800s. Today, the Pridgeon family farms 2,200-acres specializing in com, soybeans and wheat. Ten thousand market hogs are raised on the farm each vear. Pridgeon has held local and state leadership roles. He has served as Branch County Farm Bureau president, township supervisor, school board member, and has chaired his county’s Republican Party, and county planning and zoning commissions. His appointment to the Michigan Natural Resources Commission in 1974 marked the first time a farmer had served on the com­ mission. Pridgeon served as director of the Michigan State Department of Agriculture from 1979 to 1983. He is currently seeking the Republican nomination for the Michigan State University Board of Trustees where he said he hopes tocontinue his r le as advocate for environmental stewardship, agricultural research and education. Also inducted into the farmers hall of fame were Mr and Mrs. Walter (Gladys) Wightman and his late wife Alice of Allegan County; Mr. and Mrs. William (Fay) Owens of Calhoun County, Mr. and Mrs. Dale Webster of Kalamazoo County; Mr. and Mrs. Charles Beal of St. Joseph County; and Roscoe Hewlett and his late wife, Francis. A highlight of the induction ceremony was the appearance of President Ronald Reagan’s representative, Mary Ann Melroy, associate director of public liaison for the White House. She presented each couple with a letter and gifts (cuff links and a stick pin) from the President plus a congratulatory letter from U.S. Secretary of Agriculture John Block. During the ceremony, each couple received recognition of their ac­ complishments from their respective U.S. Congressmen and Senators and state senators and representatives, a letter from Gov. James Blanchard and a plaque presented by Willis Aukerman, chairman of the Michigan Farmers Hall of Fame board. Hiidred and Lawrence Chute of rural Hastings were inducted into the Michigan Farmers Hall of Fame during Labor Day ceremonies held in Prairieville. Shown here congratulating them was Mary Ann Melroy. associate director of public hoson for the White House. Convicted thief sentenced 3-to-5 years An 18-year-old Kalamazoo man was sentenced to 34 to 5 years in prison Friday for the June 20 theft of a car from a garage on Osborne Road. Richard Lee Wild, 1428 Charles Street, broke into tears, his voice sobbing, as he pleaded with Barry-Eaton Circuit Court Judge Richard Shuster not to send him to prison. “I know I've done some bad stuff, but 1 don't want togo to prison,” said Wild. "Apparently you've been remorseful other times, and it didn't work," said Judge Shuster, citing Wild's criminal record. He noted that Wild was on parole at the time of the theft. Shuster ordered Wild to serve his time at the Riverside Correctional Facility in Ionia. In addition to incarceration, the judge or­ dered Wild to attend mental health coun­ selling and trade school training. Richard Wild and his brother, Albert Vincent Wild, 17, also of Kalamazoo, were arrested the evening of June 20 after they entered the Osborne Road garage and stole a car. The homeowner called police, and the brothers were arrested a short time later in Kalamazoo County. Albert Vincent Wild was sentenced Friday to two years probation and 90 days in jail for joyriding. In addition. Judge Shuster assessed him 1500 in fines and costs. Li ofher court proceedings: Curtis Wayne Keagle, 18. 5450 Lacey Road, Dowling, was sentenced to 90 days in jail for delivery and-or manufacture of a controlled substance. In addition. Judge Shuster assessed Keagle $300 in fines and costs, and ordered him to work 100 hours of community service. Bradley Roger Nye, 25. 2501 E. Whitney Rd.. Dowling, pleaded guilty to attempted breaking and entering, and arson of real estate. Nye told Judge Shuster that he had b«en drinking the night of March 25, and that his car broke down at the corner of M-37 and Cloverdale Road. He said he walked to a nearby home, broke in, and stole two maps, then set a chair cushion on fire to cover the break-in. Nye said he did not know why he broke into the home, what he was looking for, or why he stole the two maps. Sentencing for Nye is set for Sept. 14 at 9; 15 a.m. Daniel W. Faulman, 21, Wheeler, pleaded guilty to attempted larceny over Stoo. Faulman is accused of the June 26 theft of a boat motor. He faces up to 214 years in prison when he is sentenced Sept. 14. PUBLIC OPINION: Teachers in space? Pet«D.D»ck.r Garold Pottock EorlBavar Eldon Dodd Joy McNabb Barbara Burkholder AmyVoghf Alice Gergen Enrollment, continued from Page 1 taking place. "Wc evaluated people in all areas last year,” Schoessel noted. Creating staff development opportunities was among the goals. Schoessel explained, adding that there were workshops hosted in Hastings for elementa-j teachers and that many teachers attended programs outside the district. "We’ve come a long way in that area." he said. Another area of continuing work is reviewing operational services and procedures. The Hastings superintendent said that equipment has been replaced over the last year and that currently the three newly-purchased diesel buses are being watched closely and evaluated. The two new goals which the board is expected to adopt are: I) to improve the transition from the home to the school setting that needs to be made by Kindergartener students; and 2) to determinine the future role of computer technology in the educational and operational functions of the school system. Schessel said that Kindergarten teachers, elementary principals, ar.d parents will work to develop ’readiness screening techniques' to determine whether students are or are not ready for Kindergarten. One option being considered is establishing a developmental placement program. "This is for students who are not ready socially, emotionally, physically, and-or intellectually based on age," Schossel said. Work on the second goal is already beginning. Schoessel explained that com­ puter technology has been instituted into the instructional program at all levels. "We are using micro-computers and we are happy with what we'-e done," he said. Schoessel said that now the next step must be determined. "It must be decided if the school should invest a computer which will meet instructional, as well as operational needs.” he said. Schoessel said that there are at least four options to be consisered in this area: )) to purchase a main frame which all buildings could plug into, 2) is to tie in with the Kalamazoo Intermediate School District; 3) is to explore the possibility of tying in with the newly-purchased computer belonging to the Barry County government; and 4) is to continue on with what is already in use. Schoessel called all the goals "ambitious undertakings". MDA fundraisers — Hostings Jaycee Bob Ruthruff and helper Ryan Hubert were in the down­ town Labor Day, collecting money for the Jerry Lewis Muscular Dystrophy Association Telethon. The Jaycees had a bond. Free Flight, playing during the afternoon, along with a dunk tank. In addition, the group held a cor wash at McDonald's Restaurant on Saturday to raise funds. Nationwide, the MDA Telethon raised over $32 million from pledges, plus millions more from corporate sponsors. The Lansing area, which Hostings was part of, contributed nearly $250,000.

QUESTION: President Reagan has ordered a nation­ wide search for a teacher to fly into space aboard a space shuttle, sometime in 1985. Would you tike to ride the space shuttle? How would the experience benefit you as a teacher? How would it benefit your students? Pete DeDecker. Hastings High School science teacher: "It would be very in­ teresting. Anytime you have first hand ex­ perience in anything, it would be beneficial in the classroom. Any travelling 1 do opens new doors, new perspectives." Gerald Pattock. Hastings High School chemistry teacher: "Would 1 like to go on a space shuttle flight? Of course! There would be a certain amount of self esteem to be gained from the publicity surrounding the event. Also, it would satisfy my curiosity of what goes on. "It would also lielp me as a motivational experience. The attention would cause me to excel in other areas to meet expectations. We all tend to rise to the level of others' ex­ pectations. and there would be a great deal expected of that teacher. "In the end. however, there would be a short-term gain and a long-term loss. The publicity surrounding the event, and the resultant speaking engagements, would wear me down." Earl Bever. Hastings Jr. High math teacher: "I think it would be a tremendous personal experience, and I think it would be beneficial to have that many more ap­ plications of math to present to young people." Eldon Dodd. Hastings Jr. High science teacher: "I think it would be a great ex­ perience. The technology that we would come in contact with would be far removed from anything I know of now." Joy McNabb, fourth grade Northeastern. “Sure, I'd love it. exciting and something new. earth from space would be just teacher nt It would be Seeing the beautiful." Barbara Burkholder, third grade teacher at Northeastern: "I want to stay on terra firma...right here...1'11 hold the purses. I'm a great support person. I'd be the ’Rah! Rah! section to wish my friend (the teacher selected) bon voyage.” Amy Voght. fourth grade teacher at Northeastern: "Sure, because it would be a new adventure. The experience would be phennominal" and an asset to a teacher. Alice Gergen. fifth grade teacher at Northeastern: "Yes. I think it would lx* gnat to lx* in the space program It would be wonderful for an educator Io have the op­ portunity to be directly involved." She added that the first hand experience of such an adventure would be very beneficial in teaching students about space. �The Hostings Bonner Thursdoy.

A sky. I find not so hard to do. But what about distance in misty blue? A bubbling stream which bubbles not Uses up all the patience I’ve got. I work for hours this country stream But something is lacking it would seem. Perhaps a crane where the rushes grow. After my struggles, it looks like a crow. Then, what to do with this atrocity?

Over the water a tree should lean; I’ve leaned it too far and covered the rock. Maybe I'll have to make a boat dock. If so, by it a boat should be tied. A boat 1 devised and then I cried: The boat is so large that the dock it hides And almost all of the water besides. But the color of paint entices me. I declare a quitter I will not be And venture to paint a barn-yard lot: How a cow locks I must have forgot. A cross between donkey and goat appear. It is worse than I had begun to fear. I settle back and wipe my brow Deciding I want no pictured cow. Why can't 1 succeed as others de? Don’t I live right? I wish I knew. Artists live in attics. 1 can’t • that's tnal: I hardly can pay rent where I'm at. Do they eat fruit or do they eat chops To make their pictures come out tops? Meditating thus. I sit awhile Viewing my work without a smile. Sighing and glancing down. I see Oil paints be smear the front of me. My hands and face also bear Evidence of all my efforts and care. I’ve got to the point where I'm almost beat. Ready to cry and bawl and bleat. If some poor old man would whisper. “Wed". I'd junk the paints and marry instead. Selection from Grace Colvin’s memories, "Rivers Ran Slow": There were many tricks in horse trading. Father was a "hoss trader". He’d trade a good horse for a broken-down one and "bool", feed and doctor the new one up and when the opportunity occurred, trade it for another and more "bool". He did pretty well but got a lemon once in awhile. I well remember one he got that was balky. Her name was Maud and she had one oversized front foot. I've seen Dad sit and sit on a wagon seat waiting for Maud to go. One day he had her and another horse hitched to the mowing machine. He sal for a long lime waiting for Maud to go and finally go she did. The other horse had lo follow suit, and away they went on a gallop. No one in the county could mow as much hay in as short a lime as my dad when Maud had a tantrum. When she got warmed up. she worked fine and she was a good buggy horse, too, after she performed her “act". Before she went forward, she had to back the buggy up a bit; then she started and traveled good. My sister drove her when she went to high school and left her in our uncle's barn. Uncle would have her hitched to the buggy when Ella came from school. One day, he thought. “I'll fix her so she can't back around", so he put the buggy up against the barn. When the buggy didn't back. Maud threw herself, breaking the thills and banging a hole in the barn's siding. Father had these to fix and Ella had to walk home. One day my mother and I were going to town. We got in the buggy after Maud was harnessed and she started right off without backing. We were surprised and spoke about it, but when Maud got about a quarter of a mile, she must have suddenly remembered for she turned that buggy around on two wheels and we went pell-mell back lo the barn-yard. She stopped, backed the buggy around, and then got a fresh start. Did I imply that Maud was a lemon’’ No, for she was the mother of Prince. Un­ doubtedly she had been abused lo make her so rebellious. No such traits showed in Prince's disposition. Prince was a beautiful chestnut and was allowed to run in the barn yard and from there to the pasture. Opposite the barn door leading into the stalls was another outside door opening into an alley-way where a stairway went up to a floor above At the bottom of the stairway and in front of the stalls, father had a big wooden box with a slide-off cover where he kept oats. The door was fastened with a latch, put over a staple dr iven in the casing, and a wooden peg inserted in the staple One day my father found the door open, the peg on the ground, the latch off the staple, and cover off the oat box. He accused me of carelessly leaving the door open ao the colt could get in. This I denied vehemently. The same thing occurred the next day. Dad watched and caught the culprit. He saw Prince walk up lo the door, pull out the peg with his leeth, drop it and nose the latch off. push open the sliding door, go in, shove the cover off the box, and help himself. This pleased Dad tremendously but he put on a new fastener Prince didn't know how lo work. Father gently broke Prince to harness and he developed t.-»o a wonderful driving horse as well as work. I was in my “seventh heaven" when I drove Prince. He had an easy trotting gate and needed no urging. He always got a blue ribbon al the fair where he was taken each year.

Main St. to receive testi­ mony and discuss a proposed additional 1984 operating and extra millage rate. Because of (Act 5 of 1982) the Township base tax rate is re­ duced to 2.8512 mills for 1984.

In order to maintain basic Township services the Township proposes to levy an additional millage rate of .0935 mills (9.3 cents per $1000 SEV) above the 2.8512 mill base rate, or a total operating rate of 2.9447 mills ($2.94 per $1000 SEV).

Page 3 Second in series: Selected pieces from creative writing class (This is the second article in a series of selected writings from members of a creative writing class taught by Elizabeth Underwood through Betty Heidi's adult education program In Hastings. The following is the work of class member Grace Colvin: > THE WOKS OF AN ARTIST by Grace Colvin A craving to paint in later years Brings joy to a few and to others tears. I wonder how 1 could ever dare To hope to produce a beauty rare. A sky. I find not so hard to do. But what about distance in misty blue? A bubbling stream which bubbles not Uses up all the patience I've got. 1 work for hours on this country stream But something is lacking it would seem Perhaps a crane where the rushes grow. After my struggles, it looks like a crow. Then, what to do with this atrocity? How can I hide it so no one can see? With shaking hand the paint brush I take And over the bird a huge rock I make. Now how to finish up the scene! Over the water a tree should lean; I’ve leaned it too far and covered the rock. Maybe I'll have to make a boat dock. If so, by it a boat should be tied. A boat I devised and then I cried: The boat is so large that the dock it hides And almost all of the water besides. But the color of paint entices me. I declare a quitter 1 will not be And venture to paint a barn-yard lol: How a cow looks I must have forgot. A cross between donkey and goal appear. !' is worse than I had begun Io fear. I settle back and wipe my brow Deciding I want no pictured cow. Why can't I succeed as others do? Don't I live right? I wish I knew. Artists live in allies. I can t lliat's that; 1 hardly can pay rent where l*m at. Do they eat fruit or do they eat chops To make their pictures come out tops? Meditating thus. 1 sit awhile Viewing my work without a smile. Sighing and glancing down, I see Oil paints be-smear the front of me. My hands and face also bear Evidence of all my efforts and care. I've got to the point where I'm almost beat. Ready tu cry and bawl and bleat. If some poor old man would whisper. "Wed", I’d junk the paints and marry instead. Selection from Grace Colvin's memories. "Rivers Ran Slow”: There were many tricks in horse trading. Father was a "hoss trader". He'd trade a good horse for a broken-down one and "boot", feed and doctor the new one up and when the opportunity occurred, trade it for another and more "boot". He did pretty well but got a lemon once in awhile. I well remember one he got that was balky. Her name was Maud and she had one oversized front foot. I've seen Dad sit and sit on a wagon seat waiting for Maud to go. One day he had her and another horse hitched to the mowing machine. He sat for a long time waiting for Maud to go and finally go she did. The other horse had to follow suit, and away they went on a gallop. No one in the county could mow as much hay in as short a time as my dad when Maud had a tantrum. When she got warmed up. she worked fine and she was a good buggy horse, too. after she performed her “act". Before she went forward, she had lu back the buggy up a bit; then she started and traveled good. My sister drove her when she went to high school and left her in our uncle's barn. Uncle would have her hitched to the buggy when Ella came from school. One day. be thought, "I'll fix her so she can't back around", so he put the buggy up against the barn. When the buggy didn't back, Maud threw herself, breaking the thills and banging a hole in the barn's siding. Father had these to fix and Ella had to walk home. One day my mother and I were going to town We got in the buggy after Maud was harnessed and she started right off without lucking. We were surprised and spoke about it. but when Maud got about a quarter of a mile, she must have suddenly remembered for she turned that buggy around on two wheels and we went pell-mell back to the barn-yard. She stopped, backed the buggy around, and then got a fresh start Did I imply that Maud was a lemon? No, for she was the mother of Prince. Un­ doubtedly she had been abused to make her so rebellious. No such traits showed in Prince’s disposition. Prince was a beautiful chestnut and was allowed to run in the barn yard and from there to the pasture. Opposite the barn door leading into the stalls was another outside door opening into an alley-way where a stairway went up to a floor above. Al the bottom of the stairway and in fnjnt of the stalls, father had a big wooden box with a slide-off cover where he kept oats The door was fastened with a latch, put over a staple driven in the casing, and a wooden peg inserted in the staple. One day my father found the door open, the peg on the ground, the latch off the staple, and cover off the oat box. He accused me of carelessly leaving the door open so the colt could get in. This I denied vehemently. The same thing occurred the next day. Dad watched and caught the culprit. He saw Prince walk up to the door, pull out the peg with his teeth, drop it and nose the latch off. push open the sliding door, go in. shove the cover off the box. and help himself. This pleased Dad tremendously but he put on a new fastener Prince didn’t know how to work. Father gently coke Prince to harness and he developed into a wonderful driving horse as well as work. I was in my "seventh heaven" when I drove Prince. He had an easy trotting gate and needed no urging. He always got a blue ribbon at the fair where he was taken each year.

Most of these and. in fact, most any questions can Im? answered at the library itself or through access to a nearby larger library. Some of the interesting questions from late 1982 are: Does the library have infBrmation on the design and values of amber glass walking canes? Does the library have a skelton for loan? Is there available a soundeffects record with a rooster crowing and waves lapping against a shore? These were needed for making a five minute movie without words on the life of Christ. More interesting questions were asked in 1983 Is March 18th St. Joseph's Day’ Exactly how many inches does a centimeter equal*' What was the writing on the headband of Kamikaze pilot? How should former president be addressed? Is there a book with names for pets? Is there free legal in Barry County? What is Barry County's rank in population in Michigan? What is the Federal Civil Service pay scale? What is the name of the president of Hallmark Cards? 1984 so far has provided some interesting questions. Who has the most patents? How is a tattoo removed? Inlormalion was desired on antique salt dips What food is served at a luau? What comes after a trillion? If questions like these listed above are not answered at the library, then frequently the library personnel are able to direct a person to the proper agency where the information desired can be found “TO BETTER SERVE YOU” WE OFFER THE FOLLOWING SERVICES: • Statement Savings 1.

September 6 19B4 what’s cookin 9 Aud’s Antics... by Elaine Gilbert Collecting Old Railroad Police Badges This Week Featuring... Michele Tsuji One of Michele Tsuji's favorite recipes is one that conjures up flavors reminiscent of Japan where she spent two years on a teaching assignment and her first throe years of married life. A native of the Delton area, Michele never dreamed that she would marry one of her students when she went to Japan to teach English. Now. she and her husband. Yoshiaki, reside in the Wall Lake area with their four children: Luis. Marie. Leigh and Naomi. Michele grew up on the same farm where her father was born, near Prairieville. She attended Delton schools through the eighth grade and then went to a girls school, the former Monsignor O'Brien High School in Kalamazoo. After graduating from high school, she enrolled at Aquinas College in Grand Rapids. When she completed her junior year there, she learned that teachers were needed in an English conversation school operated by the Maryknoll Fathers in Japan to support their mission work. "1 had been thinking about doing something like that for quite awhile and when the priest wrote a the letter about the need for teachers, I was ready to go to Japan." said Michele. When Michele arrived in Kyoto in August of 1971, she didn’t have any knowledge of the Japanese language, but through an orien­ tation program for the English teachers and living with a Japanese, she says she "learned enough to get around — to shop and to travel." During her teaching tenure, Michele taught English conversation skills to a variety of Japanese students, including high school .youth, college students, workers, businessmen, and housewives. "The housewives were the most studious group and the most fun to teach." she says. Michele explains that the Japanese enroll in the English conversation classes as an extracurricular activity. "They, are overly education conscious," she says. "My (future) husband was one of my first students. As soon as I quit teaching, we got married.” Michele returned briefly to the United States for the birth of the couple’s first child, Luis. But, daughter Marie was born in Jipan. The family left Japan in June of 1976 and settled in the Delton area. Since returning to her hometown. Michele has been active with the Delton CommunityEducation Nursery School, serving two years as president and two years as vice president. She also has been a volunteer for the loca' cancer society crusade and participates in Delton school activities, including serving on the Superintendent's citizens advisory committee. "School and church activities keep me more than busy.” says Michele. She teaches high school religion classes at St. Ambrose Caiholic Church, works as director of the church's the youth group, and sings with the choir. Writing is an interest Michele enjoys when she can find the time. "I enjoy writing poetry, essays and stories.” she says. Photography is another hobby and she has a collection of interesting photos she took in Japan. She’s also talented with the sewing machine, although she says she doesn't devote much time for sewing anymore. In the Tsuji household. Michele's pepper steak is rated as one of the family's favorite meals. “My family loves it," says Michele. "And it reminds me of the food 1 used to eat in Japan when I was there. It’s not really a Japanese food, but a Japanese model of Chinese or Korean food. "I got the recipe in the mail on a free recipe card. I’ve changed it around so that the basic flavoring is more like Japanesestyie. It goes together quickly and has a very distinctive flavor," she said. Michele serves rice with the pepper steak and offers a technique on cooking rice that was taught to her by one of her Japanese students. "They have rice cookers, but I use an old pan. I put about 1 Mbs. of medium grain rice in the pan. One of my Japanese students taught me how much water to put in the pan:" Scoup the rice away from the center of Michele Tsuji slices celery to make pepper steak using a family favorite recipe which she soys has a very distinctive flavor and is similar to the types of food one might eat in Japan. She spent two years teaching English in Japan and married a native of that country. They now live in the Wall Lake area and have four children. the pan and touch the bottom of the (cold) pan with the tip of your middle finger. Pour in water until it comes up to the first knuckle of the middle finger. Then you put the lid on it and let it boil until the water is down to the level of the rice. Then turn the heat low land let it simmer (with lid on* for 15-minules. Let the rice sit for five or 10-minutes after cooking and it makes it better. Michele’s Pepper Steak Use about 1-lb. or more beef stew meat. Cut pieces of stew meat in ' „ to 1 j-inch slices (across the grain so meat will be tender). Ina bowl, mix together: '-cup Kikkoman (a naturally brewed soy sauce); 2-cloves garlic, minced; 1-teaspoon ginger. Stir and then add raw meat slices and let them marinate in the liquid for awhile. Slice 4-stalks of celery and 1-medium sized onion. Cut 14 or 2 green peppers into quarters and slice into thin strips from the top down. Place a frying pan on medium heat and pour in marinade and meat. (Make sure meat is spread over the bottom of the pan) As soon as the mixture starts to bubble, turn heat down lower and simmer until meat is cooked and tender (usually about 5 to 10 minutes). Turn pieces of meal during cooking process. (If liquid cooks away, add a little waler to the meat mixture). When meat is cooked, add the celery, onions and green peppers and stir fry for about 3-minutes. Mix together I df- 1'-Tablespoons corn­ starch and torcups water, and pour onto vegetableand meat mixture after it has been stir fried. Cook for about 33-seconds to 1 minute. Serve with rice.

Gangs of robbers held up the trains, taking hundreds of thousands of dollars from the mail and express cars, dynamiting railroad bridges and trestles, and, in the process, many railroad employees and passengers were injured or killed. The railroads, therefore, hired Pinkerton agents and other law officers handy with a six-shooter to protect their trains and property. They did a great job of bringing the criminals to justice. With the rapid growth of the railroads, the need for well-trained law enforcement officers became a necessity, and railroad law en­ forcement agencies were set up for training fully qualified policemen. Soon losses by theft and robbery were greatly reduced by arresting suspects through routine crimework done by railroad special agents, whose job was to see that stolen freight and passengers' goods were located and recovered. Their beat covered the entire network of railways in this country, overseeing main lines, side tracks, yards, stations, and terminals. In addition to safeguarding travelers riding the passenger and express trains, they secured billions of dollars worth of freight merchandise transported an­ nually. The railroad police badge became a symbol of law and order; those men having worn the badge down through the years being responsible (or the protection of both revenue, passengers and railroad property. Railroad Police Departments have always varied somewhat in their organizational procedures, and badges may be found bearing titles such as Special Agent, Chief Special Agent, Assistant Special Agent, Superin­ tendent of Police, Captain, Lieutenant, Sergeant, Patrolman, Detective, and so on. The uniformed police officer wore a breast badge on his jacket, along with a badge on his cap. The majority of breast badges were made in the shape of a star or shield, the six-pointed star being the most widely used. They were generally made of nickel-silver bearing stamped letters and numbers filled in with black enamel. Star badges were also made with ball tips, protecting their sharp metal points. A five-pointed star would be un­ common, and a seven or eight point is rarely seen. The shield-shaped badge with an American eagle atop with outstretched wings was very popular. There are many variations of the eagle shield badge, some ornate with em­ bossed or raised designs. Other various shaped badges were turned out, too — octagonal, oval, irregular shaped, sunbursts, etc., some very fancy in design with baked hard enameled colors. A few old law badges are unique — special order badges with Nazarenes to present film series The film series featuring Dr. James C. Dobson, one of the nation's leading psychologists and an expert in family counseling, will be shown at Hastings Nazarene Church, 1716 N. Broadway, beginning Sunday evenng, Sept. 16, at 6 p.m. and con­ tinuing for seven Sundays. Entitled "Focus on the Family," the series has been viewed by over four million individuals since it's release two years ago, and over 15,000 churches have presented the seven-part series. Dobson's most popular presentations were filmed live during his family life seminars.

These special presentation badges were awards in honor for services rendered. The railroad police badge, as with other law enforcement badges, cannot always be pinpointed as to its exact age, unless, of course, it is a piece backed up with documented case history. Many old badges are found stamped with a maker's name on the back or front. The shape or design of the badge is not of help, either, in determining the exact age, as badges are still being made by manufacturers in the same shapes bearing hallmarks. Badges were most often made from nickel-silver or brass; a rare exception would be tin. Nickel-plated brass badges are said to be from around the turn of the century onward; nickelsilver or solid nickel from the 1830s into the 1930s-'40s. The type of pin and catch used on the reverse side of the badge is considered to be a factor in dating some badges by collectors, although this is not always a true criterion. Careful examination must be made to be sure the pin and catch have not been replaced. The name of the railroad or steamboat line is imprinted on the front of each badge, as is the badge number. In the past few years, collecting old railroad police badges has greatly proliferated and, when supply soon exceeded demand, a bunch of badges appeared on the market, resulting in a lot of pro and con con’roversy. Case in point are outright fakes currently being made that are passed off as being authentic, some of which have been worked over to make them look old and worn by rubbing, scratching, and so forth. On the other hand, there are real badges that were actually worn by railroad law enforcement officers down through the years, many of which for some reason or another were never turned in when the employee retired, subsequently finding their way into antique shops, flea markets and the like, which the collector might have some doubts about. Then there are original badges, made by regular badge manufacturers but which were never issued to the railroad by various suppliers, remaining in mint condition, winding up as "shelf" stock, which may be looked upon as spurious by some experts. Also, the railroads themselves may have kept a supply on hand which they never had occasion to hand out. These unused badges, although genuine, are frowned upon by many collectors, whose preference is for badges with wear, having an old look. Last, but not least, badge manufacturers have made overruns and novelty companies have made reproductions upon request, causing additional problems for the collector when encountering questionable badges on today’s market.

F.i/uipiied With Weapons One of the best stories told about Barry County folks is Ihe story called ’’The Carter Snake Hunt", so named because it was first sighted at H.G. Carter's farm. H.G. Carter first saw the snake in June of 1872. It was reported to be black, unmarked by any pattern, its body about five inches thick and its length (depending on who reported a sighting) varied from 18 to 24 feet. The snake sightings were reported over a 35-year period and mostly within a three-mile radius of Carter's farm. Many people who sighted the snake would not report it, feeling ‘hey would be teased by other people. The logical conclusion of why such a large snake was in Barry County would be that the snake had escaped from a circus and survived in the swamp. Carter Lake at the turn of the century was a desolate spot where no one cared to enter because of the profusion of natural barriers and the fact that it had nothing much to offer anyway, except snakes, lizards, toads, frogs and mosquitoes. The lowland was a jumble of tamarack swamps and wild creatures could roam this terrain under the protection of fine natural cover. In 1873, Sylvester Greusel, head of the Engine and Iron Works in Hastings and member of the Hastings Division of Knights of Pythias, decided la launch a snake hunt. Sylvester, according to the story in the "Centennial Banner", was a fellow who knew what a snake hunt was about. He not only foresaw "emergencies", he met ’em head on before they even had a chance to happen. The "commissary" wagon under Sylvester’s management was a key part — you might even say the heart and soul of his snake hunt strategy. Despite the care lavished on his "commissary", Greusel did not neglect the armaments. For days preceding the hunt, weapons of a very specialized nature were prepared in his machine shop.' There were two-tined snake spears in two sizes, inward-pronged snake hooks in three sizes, double acting jaw pinchers; all ot these in addition to an assortment of baseball bats, canl hook handles and other miscellaneous clubs that members were expected to provide for them­ selves. In the more specialized category of armaments were two sponges suspended from two long fish poles, two bottles of chloroform, two fiddles (yes, violins), two large wool sacks and three lassos. Sylvester was a great one for detailed preparation. So early one balmy September morning, a cavalcade of carriages, buggies, wagons, and carts carrying the 96 volunteers and their equipment moved out Broadway, swung left onto Cemetery (now Slate) Road and down a narrow lane (now Country Club Drive) to a site selected for base headquarters. Giving a dash of cohesion to this motley mob was Captain Greusel, carrying as badge of authority his K. of P. Drill sword and clad in a uniform derived from the wardrobe of just about every lodge in town. Captain Greusel had provided a liberal stock of "medicinal supplies". Mosquitoes infested the lowlands and snakes were known to prowl the entire area. So, the comissary carried liberal dosages of a "specific" highly recommended by Sylvester to coun­ teract the bites of both. The men reacted to this suggestion with alacrity and enthusiasm. Because of the time consumed in "medication", the ex­ pedition ran behind schedule in assuming the offensive. Eventually, however, the 96 men under Sylvester’s direction spaced themselves 10 feet apart to form a single skirmish line. Then, with everybody in place and weapons primed for action, the "invasion" began. The men spread themselves out 40 on the right wing and 40 on the left wing. The left wing wore rubber hip boots as they were in the swamp. The center of 16 men. under the command of Cap’t Greusel himself, was perhaps the most impressive with his drawn sword, then came two men with fishing poles and sponges followed by two fiddlers and two men carrying chloroform. The violins were there to charm the snake with soothing music, while men with their chloroform-soaked sponges were getting in their work. If that strategy were successful, then the task of the sack-carriers would be simple and the Carter Snake, thus subdued, could be Lake Odessa News Heine and her sister, plus the Jacobs and Kohls families spent an evening and had dinner at the Harry Peacock home at Westphalia. They also enjoyed a family reunion at Miner Lake in Allegan with their cousins, the Harden families.

And ‘Loaded' Commissary Expedition Combs Stramp There was one Barry county cltlzen who never gave a hang whether the Carter Snake was real or imagi­ nary, because he was prepared for either emergency. Reference is made to Sylvester Greusel wha led the first big snake hunt in mld-September of 1893. Only a few years ago. state papers carried the news of a snake hunt held somewhere in the Thumb area. After a long day in the field the men returned tired, dirty, bug-bitten, dis­ pirited and empty-handed. •Felt No Pain* Evidently those.boya weren’t proo •rW drgarV-rid., his WB-ntee retmeci but fa buoyant mootT arid, Yfcimf "high.” Tired, dirty and bug-bitten they may have been — but they'cer- "Let's keep our loved ones at home" • Auto accident • Companion Stroke • Senility • Back injuries • All home care services We have 1st. 2nd and 3rd shift...

Detailed Preparation In the more specialized category of armaments were two sponges sus­ pended from two long fish poles, two carried back in triumph to Courthouse Square in Hastings. Search continued through the day — not always in precise formation and never too far from the commissary. It would have been interesting to speculate what might have happened if the Carter Snake had appeared, but it didn't and no one was peeved or dispirited about it. The Banner concluded its story, "The men returned empty handed, but in buoyant mood. Tired, dirty, and bug bitten, but not feeling any pain they declared the snake hunt a success."

The Woodland Gospel Singers sang several numbers. They are Roger Buxton, Duane Bump, Arian Heise, Ron Martin and Bob Lowell. Another special group that performed between the congregational singing was a trumpet trio from Lakewood United Methodist Church that included Gary _________________________________ __________________________ by Catherine Lucas a grade one through 12 school with 125 students.

Although his hand and arm are bandaged, be is able to drive his pickup now. Richard Brodbeck left Woodland after church on Sunday and drove to Mackinaw City so that he would be there on Labor Day morning to walk the bridge with the governor for the 21st time. Zion Lutheran Pastor Clifford Randall went with him and this was the first time that he has walked the bridge. Mrs. Mildred Brodbeck went along, and the drove the pickup across the bridge before the walk and waited for the two men to complete the walk. They returned to Woodland on Monday evening. Linda (Mrs. Josh) Fredricks and her two children returned to California on Sunday to begin a new term as a high school ad­ ministrator. Josh will spend another week at the Walter Schmidt farm with Mr. and Mrs. Schmidt before he returns to his law practice in Manh’^n P.»«ch.

A year later, can Hastings turn it around? The 1984 Delton football team: (front row from left) Kyle Aukerman, Steve Tuln, Dennis Munson, Jeff Neeley, Paul Flourshinger, Wayne Bourdo, Paul Eddy, (second row) Ken Nickerson, Steve Monroe, Remmon Baker. Mark Hammond, Jeff Rue, Mike Ward, Bob Searles, Troy Anderson,, (third row) Ted Engle, Dion Roddy, Craig Cole, Mark Ramsey, Todd Pasick, Todd Haven, Rob Bloomberg, (fourth) coaches Heethuis, Harrington, Christensen, Erb and Haas and trainer Karen Leinaar. Delton grid team facing rebuilding year Rob Heethuis knew what he was getting into when he accepted the job as Delton's head football coach. It wasn't the brightest of pictures, but Heethuis wasn't phased. What Heethuis inherited was a sagging program that had slipped from a string of successful seasons in the late 1970s to a disapointing 2-7 mark a year ago. Worse than the record, however, was the lack of player numbers and enthusiasm in the Panther program. Only 22 players are currently on the team's roster, five of them are juniors. Heethuis realizes the problems with playing with such a small team. "Obviously we have to stay healthy," he said. "If we slay healthy we’ll be successful. The 22 players we do have are fine football players. II they are dedicated to each other, they could become champions." Heading the strength of the team are senior running backs Wayne Bourdo and Dennis Munson. Bourdo was named to the KVA and all-ccunty teams a year ago. Bourdo and Munson along with senior Steve Tuin. who will be making the switch from split end to quarterback, will be hard pressed to carry most of the offensive load. Tuin particularly is a key because of his newness to quarterback. "He should be a real force a quarterback." said lieelhuis of Tuin. a three-year starter. "He'll be called on to >lo a lot of things. He could be one of the best quarterbacks Delton has ever seen." Seniors Paul Flourshinger and Kyle Aukerman will anchor the offensive line while Remmon Baker will make the switch from the offensive line to fullback. On defense, the returning lettermen are Tuin. who led the team in tackles from a his safety position, senior linebackers Mark Hammond and Jeff Neeley, and junior linebacker Steve Monroe. Other key players in the Delton fold are lineman Mike Ward, Rob Blomberg, and Paul Eddy, center Ken Nickerson, endlinebacker Todd Haven, and running back­ linebacker Diron Roddy. Heethuis said he has no problem with the defensive talents of his team. "Trad'tionally. we have pretty good defenses,” said Heethuis "The nucleus is there this year." Despite the low numbers. Heethuis said his senior group is a dandy. "They're leaders.” said Heethuis of the 17 seniors. "Leadership is one of our strong suits this year " Heethuis looks to perennial power Galesburg-Augusta and tough Kalamazoo Hackett as the KVA's teams to beat in 1984. But with a little maturing, a few breaks, who knows, maybe Delton will be in there "I don't know Some of the seniors have been here two years already." said Heethuis. "I feel a couple of things have to come together We have a new coach, a new system, and as soon as we start working together as a group, we'll be a good club "We feel as soon as we jell, we'll be right there." Jeff Simpson is hoping a year can make quite a difference. Simpson's Hastings football team suffered through a disapointing 2-7 season in 1983, but with 13 returning lettermen back including nine starters the third-year varsity coach expects to see a world of difference over last year. "I’m more optimistic this year than last,” said Simpson. "I know we’re better than 2-7. We're sitting a lot better; it just depends how the chips fall for us." Unlike 1983 when seven or eight Saxons were forced to play both ways, Simpson points to only four players who’ll see double duty. Senior Paul Turnes (6-3 , 202) at defensive end and tight end, senior Dave Kensington (6-1, 202) at fullback and linebacker, senior tackle Jon Douglas (5-10, 207), and sophomore Mike Karpinski (5-9, 145) at quarterback and safety will see action both ways. Karpinski, incidently, won the battle for the quarterback spot over last year's starter, senior Mike Matthews (6-3, 174). But Simp­ son said Matthews' talents won’t be wasted. Matthews, a member of the Saxon track team’s top notch 440 relay team, will be moved to a starting wide receiver position. Kensington, along with junior Tim Hubert (6-1, 190) will divide time at fullback while juniors Bruce Hoffman (S-6, 165), the Twin Valley’s 100-yard dash champ, and Jim Cruttenden (5-5, 135), runnerup in the 100, will split time at tailback. Simpson has no worries over that backfield foursome. "If we can keep them healthy, we'll have some good runners," he said. The offensive line, a trouble spot a year ago, will be anchored by tackles Scott Price (6-3, 213) and Douglas and guard Jon Christensen (5-9, 191). Junior tackle Wayne Meade (5-11, 170) and junior center Floyd Gates <5-9,160) will probably round out the line. Other returning lettermen expected to contribute are senior lineman Mike Stout (57, 200), end Gregg Shaeffer <5-9, 155) and tackle Paul Hammond (60, 204). Defensively, Simpson admits the team is “a little suspect." Not, however, at defensive end where all-leaguers Paul Turnes and K*ith Stevens (6-1, 155) return. The team is "fairly strong" at linebacker, said Simpson, with Kensington, Hubert, and Christensen, who is also an all-league punter. Senior Lyle Gross (5-10, 170) improves the noseguard position. The secondary is led by senior returnee Dave Flood (5-B, 145) and Karpinski along with senior Mike Ellis (5-7, 145). Simpson will stack his team’s experience against anybody in the league. Coldwater, which tied for the Twin Valley crown with Albion in 1983, adds several quality jayvee players while the Wildcats have only four lettermen back. Also in the title picture are Lakeview, 10-2 and state runnerup in Class B, and possibly Hillsdale or Marshall. Hillsdale has as much experience as Hastings while Marshall will have a new coach in Rich Hulkow. "I think we're as good as anybody," said Simpson. "I told the kids we’re a third or fourth place team right now without even having played against any competition. "People are more experienced this year and I'm using more and more of what I've learned. We’re just ahead of the game." Road to repeating SMAA title will be rugged for Lions Maple Valley football: (front from left) Don Watson. Jack Semrau, Glen Ewing, Ken Meade, Jim Fuller. Greg Tilley. Robert Browne. Dean Stewart (second row) Jess Bahs, Scott Villanueva, Mark Hess, Robert Fletcher, Pat Resseguie, Skip Wyskowski, Bart Smith, Tim Higden (third row) Terry Hall, Mike Campeau, Ryan Trowbridge, Kurt Hartenburg* Chug Maurer, Gary Reid, Ray Horn. There will be no yellow brick roads or red carpet treatments for Maple Valley's foot­ ball team to follow this fall. The perilous road to repeating as SMAA football champions is a long, winding affair complete with potholes large enough to swallow entire teams in a single gulp. Lion coach Dan Watson is acutely aware that many SMAA grid coaches are picking Maple Valley to snatch its second straight title. “That's fine," said Watson. "I’m glad they feel that way. I just wish 1 was that con­ fident." It’s not like anybody should feel sorry for Maple Valley, though. The Lions, 8-1 last year, return 10 lettarnen, including some of the top players in the league. “It’s within reach," Watson acknowledges of the SMAA title. “I see it as a four way race between Pennfield, St. Philip, Olivet and us. Whichever team stays injury free will win.’ Pennfield, which Maple Valley edged 7-6 last win to win the title, is again strong overall with few, if any, weaknesses. Olivet may be the biggest team in the league, while the Tigers have a top notch quarterback and several returning linemen. "I wouldn't pick anyone," said Watson. "I really wouldn't. It’s gonna be a dogfight" Heading the list of Maple Valley returnees are a number of senior linemen. Ryan Trowbridge (linebacker-end) Chug Maurer (linebacker-tackle), Pat Resseguie (center­ tackle), and Scott Villanueva (tackle) give the team a solid foundation. Kurt Hartenburg returns at quarterback and Gary Reid, who last year bad averaged close to 100 yards rushing per game before being sidelined with an injury, should head the running game if he can stay healthy. Other returning lettermen include seniors Terry Hal) at tackle and defensive end, Mike Campeau at guard and tackle, Ress Bahs at end and lii>etk.cker, Robert Brume at running back and end, and Dean Stewart at guard and linebacker. Trowbridge, Maurer and Browne (whose blocked punt and subsequent run for touch­ down accounted for all the scoring in the Pennfield win) along with Resseguie com­ bine for a potent defense. "We’re going to be experienced inside with those guys," said Watson. “Ako, Hartenburg was a starter at safety last year." Lakewood could improve bn 3-6 mark for 1983 Lakewood football team: (front row from left) Gary Pennington, Bruce Daggett, Ed Wondergem, Brian Friddle, Charles Coon, Scolt McWorter, Chris Harrington, Tom Comstock, (second row) Feller Galaviz, Roger Eldridge, Kyle Sessink, Dan Frizzell. Rob Geiger, Mike Cusack, Craig Pickers, Brian Senters, (third row) Kevin Harrigan, Dave Fisher, Steve Rhondes. Steve Sutherland. Mark Messmore, Brian Weslow, Eric Eldridge, Scott Binkowski, Mike Maciasz, (fourth row) Tim Wood Greg Wood. Doug Bishop, Ron McCloud. Bill Barker, Scott Neustifter. Barry Smith, Ron Leonard, Rick Neurenburg. Lee Mattice, Dan Warren. Tim Wood acknowledges his 1984 Lakewood football team may have a few wrinkles which must be ironed out, so to speak. But the problems, he hopes, won’t be significant enough to keep his team from a better than .500 season. Wood possesses a team that appears capable of lighting up scoreboards, but that could be somewhat suspect on defense. "We have a lot of unknown qualities," said Wood, now in his fourth year as Viking head man. "But we have a good combination of a great team attitude and liard workers. Those two together generally spell success." One factor that won't work in Lakewood's favor — at least this year — is the breakup of the Tri River and subsequent landing in the Capital Circuit Because the disbanding occurred before the football schedules could be rearranged, the Vikings have to wait to 1985 to play a full Capital Circuit schedule. This fall Lakewood finds itself with only three home games out of nine. "We'd like to have one more home game, but with the way things are we’re fortunate to game a nine-game schedule,” said Wood. As far as one the field activities. Wood finds himself with 12 returning lettermen. Offensively, the team should be able to run the ball with Billy Barker (5-9, 170), who gained 900 yards last year as a sophomore, and Charles Coon (5-9, 215), a three-year starter at fullback. Moving into the quar­ terback spot is Ed Woudergem (6-3, 165). The offensive line is headed by all-leaguers Bruce Daggett (5-11, 175) and Brian Friddle (5-10, 160). Doug Bishop (5-11, 175), a threeyear lettermen, also helps. Tom Comstock (6-1, 165) returns as a fourth starter. Other returning letterwinners are wide receiver-cornerbacks Rick Nurenburg (&-0. 170), Scott Neustifter (5-9, 150) and Scott McWhorter (64), 160) and lineman Richard Hale (5-11, 175), Jeff Sutherland (5-8, 155), and Gary Pennington (6-1, 200). Defensively, Friddle and Coon are fine linebackers while Bishop and Daggett man two of the down linemen positions. The secondary is being rebuilt as all three backs were lost through graduation. �The Hastings Banner — Thursday. September 6. 1984 — Page 11 New coach hopes to carry on Trojan grid tradition For the last couple decades or so. Mid­ dleville’s football teams have always finished among the first division teams in league standings. Under the guidance of Bob White and later Ray Page. Trojan teams have seemingly always vied for O-K Blue titles. Keith Rhines is hoping that strong tradition doesn't change this year. Rhines. an assistant coach under both White and Page, assumes the head coaching position this year after Page's retirement last spring. He inherits a team that compiled a decent 6-3 mark a year ago. but that only returns nine lettermen including four starters each on offense and defense. "We're young." admits Rhines. "But we’re coming awfully quick. We’re learning fast.” Rhines said patience is a key word when dealing with a team as young as the 1984 Trojan squad. "We’ve come a long ways. 1 think by the end of the year we'll be tough," said Rhines. The start of the year, however, may be something else, he admits. The opener at Hudsonville and th»n two of the next three weeks against O-K Blue newcomer Godwin and state playoff qualifier Comstock Park should tell the tale of the Trojans...immediately. The team’s reluming lettermen include linemen Greg Lydy. Tony Plants, Kyle Plank. Hanz Davis and Thad Winger, ends Darrell Smelker and Tim Browne, quar­ terback Mike Newhouse, and running back Rob Anders. Rhines is banking heavily on several newcomers including quarterback Jerry Steele, wide receiver Greg Newman, guard Jay Portius, center Mike McCloud, linebacker John Maretti, and tackle Charley Lund. Offensively, with six relatively talented running backs Rhines expects to be able to run the ball; even belter as the year goes on. Both quarterbacks can throw, which will help blance the attack, said Rhines Defensively, the new Thornapple Kellogg coach said the youth might show quickly. "We'll be strong everywhere, just not exactly great anywhere." he said. "It's a good team that's just starting to come together. We need a few wins under our bell and they'll be tough.

Hastings Mutual Insurance Co. Lewis Realty Hause Realty World Hastings will be hardpressed to repeat runnerup finish Pat Murphy said she always lends to lean toward the optimistic side. This year that could be put to the test. The Hastings girls basketball coach saw her team compile an excellent 15-4 record and second place Twin Valley finish in 1983. But three starters from that team — allleaguer Paula A'tkinson and guards Tammy Connor and Karen Williams — have since graduated leaving mamouth holes to fill. Returning to the Saxon team is junior Amy Atkinson, a second team all-Twin Valley pick and all-county selection. Atkinson led the team in scoring at 17 points per game and also was among the leaders in assists, rebounds and steals. Also back are three frontliners in center Shari Maurer and forwards Stacy Owens and Kris Matthews, both seniors. Murphy realizes the Saxons' task won’t be an easy one. "I'm always optimistic.” she said. "You never know what's going to happen.’ Newcomers to the varsity include Susie Carlson, Tarrti Jordan, Sue Klovanich, Tasha Warren, Kim Tebo. Marsha Ackley, Kim Galbreath. Kristin Trahan, Sandy Edwards and Laurie Snyder. Murphy lists Coldwater and Marshall, both with numerous returning lettermen, al the head of the league. Lakeview, returning to the Twin Valley, is a longshot. Hastings already made its 1984 debut on Tuesday night in the Lakewood Tip Off In­ vitational by losing to Grand Rapids Creston, 65-50. Atkinson led the scoring with 28 markers. Owens added eight, Carlson six, Maurer four, Trahan three and Snyder one. Hastings had 35 rebounds and 10 assists. Murphy said it was a likely opener for such a young team. "We made errors and that's what we get when we're a young team," she said. "We’ll just have to work to correct them." Rodee’s 911 W.

(Front row, left to right) Darci Coppess, Lesa Hazel, Kellie Price, Jill Wilcox, Sherry Graham, Lana Leos. Jenny Bornum. White’s Photography Lakewood basketball team heading in upward direction Ron Coppess would just as soon forget last season. It's not that his Lakewood girls basketball team's record was so bad — 10-11 isn't anything to sneeze about. It's the way his Lakewood basketball compiled that record. First, the team was racked heavily with injuries. During one six game stretch. Coppess found himself without the services of either one of his captains and team leaders. Secondly, the Vikes couldn't buy a win a close game. They lost six straight games, two in overtime, two at the buzzer, and four by two points or less. Lakewood, which enters the Capital Cir­ cuit this fall, enjoyed excellent success while playing in the Tri River. Viking teams compiled 14-7. 14-9. and 14-7 seasons from 1980-1983. Coppess thinks the team can regain some of that form this year. "We'll be a fast team We'll run even chance we gel." he said. "Plus, we have the ability to score points and can play good defense." The only drawback is the team s size Coppess may start a front line that goes 5-7. 5-9, 5-10. “Hopefully we can make up for some of that by running." said Coppess “In some games, yes, that will bother us." Heading the list of returnees are senior tri­ captains Jill Wilcox at forward. Kellie Price at guard, and Marla Reiser at center. Price was all-league, all-county, and honorable mention all-stale last year. She led the team in scoring at 17 points per game and also assists. Wilcox also is capable of scoring in double figures while Reiser is the team's lop rebounder. Six juniors and one sophomore make up the Ldkewood bench Coppess likes Dewitt. Okemos and Lansing Catholic Central as lop Capital Circuit teams. Lakewood isn't exactly a stranger to the circuit having played Charlotte and scrimmaged Eaton Rapids in the past. “I thought the Tri River was a good basketball league." said Coppess. whose team played seven district and two regional champs last fall. "I think the Capital Circuit is much the same. "I think we have a good team We re going to have to jell, do a lot of things right, to win." ________ 107 S.

State Street Hastings, Michigan It’s easier said than done for most basketball teams, but once Maple Valley’s cage team learns how to play together they could be a force, said new coach Bill Bren­ ton. Brenton inherits a team which won only three of 20 games a year ago and which has only two seniors. In fact, four freshman have made the 1984 varsity. "We don’t have much experience," said Brenton. "We’ll just have to learn to play together, even though we haven't had enough time on the floor together." Heading the team are senior guards Duska Morawskl and Lynette Williams, both capable scorers. Junior center Carol Lamie, a three-year lettermen, sophomore guard Beth Starring, and junior forward Melissa Brenton round out the returnees. Freshman Dawn Morawski, who led the team in scoring with 11 in the team's 58-42 opening game loss to Saranac, will carry a heavy load of the scoring. Brenton said Dawn along with Duska, a two-year starter, and Starring are pure shooters. "They’re excellent shooters," i» said. “Plus they have a lot of quickness." Brenton likes last year's SMAA champ, Pennfield, and St. Philip to wage a battle for the league's top spot this year. Longshots include Bronson and possibly Olivet And the Lions? Brenton L careful in putting them near tl*e top. “I have to be realistic,” he said. "My goal right now is to teach these girls team basketball. I’m not sure how long that's gonna take, but there is talent here." 110 W. State Street Hastings, Michigan Ron Smith Greenhouse, Inc. 1337 N.

Cinder Pharmacy, Inc. Girrbach Funeral Home Thornapple Valley Credit Union With four starters back from a runnerup finish in the Kalamazoo Valley Association, Delton's girls basketball team is taking dead aim on a KVA title. The Panthers, 17-5 last year but minus leading scorer and rebounder Sue Hogg, return four talented starters and enough height and depth to perhaps carry them as far as a KVA championship, according to coach Dwight Lamphier. Lamphier said the team attended a basketball camp at the University of Michigan in early August where they played 14 games and concentrated on nothing but basketball. "It really helped us out," Lamphier said of the camp. "We should be way ahead of the other schools now." Lamphier said he expects his team to be fast, but not large, with at least four starters capable of hitting double figures con­ sistently. “I think we'll have a good shot at the championship as long as we stay healthy," he said. Paw Paw, last year's league champ, along with Hackett and Parchment also figure in the 1984 standings, said Lamphier. Heading the list of returnees are seniors Kim Baker (swingman). Jeanne Ryan (forward-center) last year’s Delton MVP Melinda Bromley (forward-center) and junior Sue Lego (guard). "They are all good form shooters and can score points,” said Lamphier. The fifth returning letterman is senior forward Mikl Purk. The rest of the team includes sixth man Beth Williams, a 5-11 senior, and senior guard Sue Boyle.

Michigan Hastings, Michigan There is one good thing about compiling a 3-18 record: The only way to go is up, which is the direction Jim Sprague believe his Middleville basketball team u leaded. The Trojans, with Sprague moving over from the Trojan boys jayvee team, return four lettermen from a disapointing 1983 campaign Included among that foursome are senior co-captain Dawn Bos at one for­ ward, junior point guard Karen Gray, and junior forward Brenda Page. All are likely starters. The fourth returnee is forward Melissa Thatcher, who didn’t start the Trojans’ first game against Lowell. The team's other two starters are junior center Talese Yonkers and sophomore guard Denise Van Duine. Rounding out the team are juniors Monique Wessie, Chris Timm and Kathy Schleh and sophomore Kim Koetsier. The team has only one senior among the top eight players, said Sprague. Koetsier was Middleville’s leading scorer with 10 points in a 44-37 win over Lowell on Tuesday night. Sprague said his team does a number of things well including pressing, running and handling the ball. In addition. Page pulled down 16 rebounds against Lowell. What Sprague didn’t like against Lowell was his team’s offense. "We were in position to score but we didn't," he said. "The thing we're working on right now is to set up our offense and get the ball inside to score." Sprague likes perennial power Caledonia and possibly Comstock Park as heading the O-K Blue. Also, newcomer Godwin brings with it a young, but talented team. Sprague said Middleville won’t have to surrender to any of the teams. "I don’t know if we'll challenge for the top spot, but nobody will blow us out. We'll be in all the games." he said. "We’re gonna be competitive." Continued, page 13 �The Hostings Banner — Thursday.

Furrow, who holds o master's degree in library science from the University of Michigan, was one of 16 who applied for the $17,000-a-yeor position. Board names Furrow as head librarian Barbara B. Furrow has been appointed as new head librarian for the Hastings Public Library. The appointment came Tuesday night, at the monthly meeting of the Hastings Public Library Board of Trustees. Her job officially started Sept. 12. Furrow, 43, was chosen from a field of 16 applicants from all over lower Michigan. A longtime Hastings resident. Furrow is a graduate of Hastings High School, and she holds a master of arts degree in library science from the University of Michigan, and a bachelor of arts degree with an English major from Kalamazoo College. She has worked in libraries at Michigan State University and Lake Forest College in Illinois, and is a former assistant librarian at Hastings Public Library, and in recent months has been the director of the special project to weed the local library collection and input titles on computer. Among Furrow's affiliations are the Hastings branch of the American Association of University Women, the Emmanuel Episcopal Church, the Barry County Solid Waste Management Oversight Committee and the Board of Canvassers. She is also a former president of the Barry County Historical Society. "We are pleased to have Barbara accept the position," said Linda Lincolnhol, library board of trustees president "She has demonstrated her abilities, and knows the community well. We know she can help us develop a collection which will be useful to our patrons, and pro-'ide the kind of services the community expects ” Lincolnhol described the choice of librarians as “exceedingly difficult." "The board interviewed the four top candidates, which included Mrs. Furrow," said Lincolnhol. “Any of those top four could have done an excellent job." In addition to assuming responsibilities for the entire running of the library, Furrow will complete the job of weeding the collection and inputting books into a system-wide computer. Furrow succeeds Eileen Oehler, who retired this summer after 10 years of service to the library. Furrow's salary as librarian is $17,000 a year. Furrow lives with her husband, Mickey, on S. Broadway. The couple twin sons, Andy and Scott. by Steve Horton Describing tne situation as “dire", Charlton Park Director John Patterson gave the Barry County Board at Commissioners a financial report of that facility at its Tuesday morning meeting. The gist of Patterson’s presentation was that either additional money would have to be raised on an annual basis to continue running the village and park "as is" or a serious cut in programs would need to take place. “To do otherwise," he said, “is fiscal and managerial irresponsibility." The board of commissioners operates Charlton Historic Village and Park through a teb-member parks and recreation board. That group, in turn, hired Patterson to ad­ minister the institution. In prefacing his comments, Patterson told the commissioners he felt they needed to know "what the situation is at the park and what its problems”. He said his evaluation, as a museum professional, was that (using 1964 figures and projections) the institution needs an annual budget of at least $160,000 "to operate at a substance level". “This figure,” he said, "allows no growth . and does not.allow for some of the remedial maintenance that’s been put off for the past several years. It just allows the programs we currently have to operate as is." Patterson further noted that the park this year will not exceed $130,000 in revenues, $40,000 of which is an appropriation from the commissioners. The park director began his talk by giving a zero-base budget breakdown of the facility. Level 1, he said, is the expense of just a free beach, wifi) no special events and keeping the village and museum closed. Cost of a supervisor to operate the beach and picnic area, utilities, minimal maintenance and a summertime employee would total $43,000. Level II is the cost of a director, which he noted, entails having some kind of program beyond the beach. That coat totals $22,844, bringing the overall figure to $65,994. Level III is adding summertime special events. Coal of putting on around five shows, plus the expense of promotion, would total another $20,000, bringing the overall figure to $85,994. Level IV is operating the beach with an admission fee. Coat of the ticket booth, permits and office supplies for bookkeeping, plus some miscellaneous expenses, totals another $11,750, bringing the overall figure to $97,744. “Before we are even talking about operating the museum and the historic village," Patterson pointed out, “we're spending almost $100,000.” Level V, which is the cost of operating and staffing the museum and village, totals $38,766, bringing the overall figure to $136,510. This includes the salary of the program supervisor who oversees the village’s volunteers, plans (he interpretive programs and coordinates programs for school children, along with the cost of putting on those programs, office expenses, extra maintenance, brochures, advertising, and the village's two off-season special events. Level VI is the expense of purchasing concessions for the gift shop which comes to $8,000, bringing the overall figure to $144,510. "This is where we should be (budget­ wise),” he said, referring to the overall figure. “However, this year our total revenues probably will not reach $130,000." Level VH, which is not currently in existence, would be the expense of bringing Charlton Park up to the "minimum level to be a competent museum". This, he ex­ plained, would include the hiring of a curator of collections at $11,404, year-round clerical help at $10,142, and $3000 for extra utility costs to provide proper air conditioning and heating for the various artifacts and documents that are either displayed and in storage. This would bring the total figure to $169,056. Patterson added that reductions could be made to allow for a figure of $160,000. “We’re badly in need of a curator to catalog and organize our very large and diverse collection," be elaborated. “Also, when we go to the government for funding or if we were to approach a foundation for a grant, the minute they learn we don't have a curator, we’re out of the picture." Patterson added that this economic bot­ tleneck between necessary operating monies and available revenues has been an annual situation at the park for the past several years and that maintenance has been the area which as suffered. "This (upkeep) is something we can’t keep putting off," he said. "It becomes a matter of whether you want to pay now or later. One way or the other, the bill is going to come in.” Patterson also gave the commissioners a breakdown of the projected 1985 budget, minus the board’s appropriation. Permits and admissions are projected at $65,000, donations at $600, miscellaneous at $1,500, concessions at $15,000, and fundraisingm at $2,000 fora total of $84,100. ■ 'This leaves us a shortfall of around $75,000,” he added, using the $160,000 figure. Patterson said that the basic cause of the bottleneck (an assessment he said has been collaborated by outside museum professionals who've review Chariton Park’s operation) was an overe:q>ansion on the 1970s without enough consideration of ‘how’ the end result would be operated financially. Continued on Page 3 Bus drivers, food workers begin contract bargaining by Norma Acker The Hastings school bus drivers are seeking a ten percent wage hike as they move into negotiations with the board of education today. Negotiations have also started with the Food Service Workers, but not details of offers from either side are known. The Hastings Board of Education will go into closed session after its regular meeting Monday, Sept. 17, at Northeastern Elementary School at 7:30 p.m. to discuss the negotiations. Superintendent Carl A. Schoessel said that the contract between the custodians and the board has also expired, but the custodians have not yet requested negojat ions. Robert Miller, director of operational servicer, said that the school employs 33 bus drivers, five of which are substitute drivers, and 21 food service workers. Michael Hallifax, president of the Bus Drivers Association, said that the drivers are seeking a 10 percent wage increase. Currently the drivers earn $7.15 per hour. Hallifax said that the drivers have received only a 30 cent wage increase per hour in the last four years. They will not ask for a cost of living increase clause in their contract, he added. Hallifax said that the drivers will ask for a job security clause, two additional in-service days to be used for training sessions, ac­ cumulated sick leave, and improvements in the area of health insurance benefits. "We made large concessions four years ago when they (the school) were in a crun­ ch," Hallifax said. “There are problems of terminology in the Hallifax said that if a regular driver is absent and a substitute is called in, the substitute is paid but the regular driver is not. He pointed out that ifa teacher is absent, both the regular and the substitute are paid. He also noted that drivers must work four hours daily for 182 days to be eligible for health insurance benefits. Schoessel said that the basic contract with the bus drivers was written in 1977 and ratified until 1980. The same contract has been renewed each year since with minor changes. Schoessel noted that the contracts with the food service workers and the custodians are also one-year pacts. Shirley Decker, president of the Food Service Workers, declined to comment on the progress of negotiations or changes being sought in the contract. Decker did say that Food Service Workers and the board have met twice to negotiation, once in June and on SejA. 11. In regular business at Monday’s meeting, the board is expecteu to: — accept the resignation of Jo Beth Bridleman, a secretary at Central Elementary School, — approve the hiring of Mary Brown to teach two hours of social studies at the high school. Mrs. Brown is already working as a counsellor for two hours a day. — formally approve the adult education program of studies as required by the state; Northeastern Elementary Principal Dave Styf and elementary reading specialist Mary Ruth Loughrin will present an educational program on the new elementary reading series at the beginning of the meeting. contract," he added. 50 signatures on petition presented Wood tax needs no electIon Ito M lllltent of the Algonquin lake CmanHdMy ANorikUon <ALCA> said ao ntertlm te needed to aataUlsh a IgTi-t "weed aassasment <«■««" to iniaa funds for lake Improvement.

Neighbors complain about house by Ken Reibel Complaints of a “rowdy house" surfaced at Monday night’s meeting of the Hastings City Council, along with a petition signed by approximately 50 neighbors, and stories of late night parties, thievery, and shouted obscenities. "The police have been responsive, but it doesn't seem like any amount of intervention has been successful,” said Ken Schroeder, 538 W. Grand St., as he presented the petitions. Schroeder said the occupants of the home, located at 535 W. Grand St., are responsible for verbal harassment of neighbors, the strewing of "trash and garbage" on the lawn, loud obscene language late at night, and stealing personal belongings from neigh­ bors' yards. Hastings City Attorney Richard Shaw, who recently moved out of the neighborhood, went on record as suppori ag the petition. Hastings Chief of Police Mark Steinfort told the Banner his department has made numerous arrests at the home since May. Those arrests include ones for minor in possession of alcohol, driving with a suspended license, runaway juvenile, disturbing the peace and harboring runaways. Steinfort said city police have also assisted the sheriff department in arresting an in­ dividual at that address on a bench warrant, and taking a two-year-old child into Department of Social Services custody. Constantin Hunciag, Hastings building inspector, said the owner of tbe home, Charles Fox, McKeown Road, is one of five landlords who have not registered their rental property since enforcement of the city’s two-year-old rental housing ordinance began last spring. Hunciag said Fox’s name, and those of the other four landlords, have been turned over to the city attorney for chrtl prosecution. Ordinance 174 makes it a misdemeanor, punishable by up to 90 days in jail and-or a $100 fine, for non-compliance. Hunciag said Fox owns four rental houses in Hastings, and Hunciag described the conditions of three of those homes as “very bad" or “needing repair." When asked if enforcement of the dty's rental housing ordinance would curtail future neighborhood complaints of "rowdy houses", the Mayor William Cook answered "They seem to go together." The city council ordered the chief of police and building inspector to work together to alleviate the conditions at the home. Fourth ward residents complained to council members Monday night of a "rowdy house", located at 535 W. Grand Street. �Page 2— The Hastings Banner— Thursday. September 13,1984 VIEWPOINT: Delton board lowers debt retirement levy Commentaries from our editorial staff and the community — The overall debt retirement tax levy for 1964 in the Delton-Kellogg School District has been lowered by .4 mills from last year’s rate because of an increase in State Equalized Valuation (SEV). Superintendent Dr. John Sanders said the Delton board of Education Monday approved the decrease when it set the debt retirement levy at 2.63 for the 1972 debt; .46 for the 1966 EDITORIAL Charlton Park: Short-term, long-term decisions now Since we test looked at the financial pkiure at Charlton Park, in March, some actions have been taken in an effort to find solutions for the future. A community task force has been appointed to look at potential revenue builders and to recommend ways of providing financial stability. But while the talks and meetings continue, the short-term financial problems increase and the quality deteriorates in the historical collection and buildings. Park Director John Patterson presented the grim details to the county Board of Commissioners, Tuesday. Patterson showed .where the revenues are coming from, where the money is being spent and where the shortfall lies. He also presented seven levels of operation which the commissioners could choose, ranging from simply opening the beach area to the public to expanding the program by hiring a curator to catalogue, restore and display the collection. Patterson made his presentation to the commissioners at the direction of the Parks and Recreation Commission, which oversees the park. The parks commission has not made specific recom­ mendations to the county commissioners on what actions should be taken. What the county commissioners face is not the question of bow much money to appropriate in next year’s budget, but a question of long­ term policy. Is the county government willing to provide a solid economic base from which Charlton Park can operate and build its program? The situation in the past few years has been nothing short of ridiculous. An official of the American Association of Museums, in a written report on Charlton Park, said, “It is truly incomprehensible that in order to meet the budget the heat in the offices is turned back in the winter so that the staff works in insulated underwear, down jackets and coats. It is also irresponsible that the collections are left in unheated areas in the winter and non-air conditioned areas in the summer, not because heating and air conditioning are unavailable, but because the money is unavailable to operate them.” At a time when the county commission is increasing its focus on tourism, the commissioners continue to allow one of the county's best tourist attractions to deteriorate. Irving Charlton's gift to the county could be developed into a great asset, but instead it is becoming a liability. The park also has a strong group of supporters in the county, including hundreds of volunteers, who, as taxpayers and constituents, are not being served by? the county board. The time for a decision by the commissioners is at hand. The task force studying the long-term solutions cannot make recommendations for tomorrow without knowing what kind of support will be coming from the county board. And, realistically, without a solid foundation at the bottom, any long-term structure created by the park board or recommended by the task force could crumble before the first blocks are laid. This weekend the Historic Village holds its Folk Arts Festival and people will have an opportunity to take a close look at the park. We urge you to go and assess the park for yourself, looking not at what is but at what can be. Brother, sister plead guilty to burglary A 22-year-old Battle Creek man and his sister pleaded guilty in Barry Circuit Court Friday to breaking and entering of a building, in connection with the burglary last winter of a S. Bedford Road home. In exchange for their pleas, Steven Leslie Carnes. 22 Franklin St., and his sister, Diana Lynn Russell, 109 McKinley St., 24, also of Battle Creek, have agreed to testify against co-defendants in what police term a burglary ring responsible for at least 80 break-ins around the state. Carnes and Russell were originally charged with breaking and entering of an occupied dwelling, a 15-year felony. The new charge carries a maximum 10 years in prison. Sentencing for Carnes and Russell is scheduled for Sept. 21 at 9 a.m. Two of the co-defendants were bound over to Barry Circuit Court Wednesday, Sept. 5, to stand trial on charges of breaking and en­ tering of a building, in connection with the burglary of the Summit Steel Corp, warehouse on Railroad Street. The tv 'o are Danny Ray Carnes. 22. brother Hastings of Stephen Carnes and Diana Russell, and Bert Miner, 42, both of Battle Creek. At the preliminary exam, held in Barry District Court, visiting Judge Joseph L. Bauer of the 56th District Court in Ionia heard Officer Ed Danielewicz tell how he and another officer staked out the Summit Steel warehouse on Railroad Street the night of July 21. He said he observed three suspects, two of which were identified as Miner and Danny Carnes, haul brass and copper out of the building in wheelbarrows. “At first, all we heard were noises, and some dark shapes, but we couldn’t be sure what it was,” said Danielewicz. “Then I spotted a figure in white T-shirt, and I knew we had something...If it wasn't for that white T-shirt, we never would have spotted them.” Danielewicz identified Miner as the sub­ ject in the white T-shirt. The defendant wore a white T-shirt to court that day. A third defendant in that burglary, Daniel Eugene Seller, 26, also of Battle Creek, awaits preliminary exam on the same charge.

Enrollment is up at T-K schools Student enrollment in the Thornapple Kellogg School District is up considerably from last year, said Superintendent Gerald Page. There are currently 51 more students enrolled this year which brings the tentative enrollment to 1,930, up from last year’s 1,879. ’Whether that will hold, we don’t know," said Page. “But it’s encouraging for us and reverses a trend...We've got the biggest kindergarden class in the history of the school." There are 195 pupils enrolled in kindergarten this year. Since state aid is based upon enrollment, the district could receive “considerably more state aid” if the current enrollment stands, he said. The state's official count for state aid purposes is based on enrollment of the fourth Friday following Labor Day of the school year. In other business at Monday's board of education meeting, members set the 1964 winter school tax levy in the district which includes ll-townships in the counties of Barry, Allegan, Kent and Ionia. The winter tax levy for the townships of Thornapple, Irving, Yankee Springs, Bowne and Caledonia was set at 15.8u54 mills because those township property owners also pay a summer tax levy. For townships — Carlton, Orangeville, Rutland, Campbell, Leighton and Wayland — which are taxed only once a year, the levy was set at 31-mills. The board also discussed the possibility of purchasing phone equipment rather than leasing the present phones. The matter was tabled until more information is obtained. LETTERS to the Editor: debt and .58 for the 1958 debl. Sanders noted that 1958’s $985,000 bond issue for construction of the current middle school will be paid after this tax collection, so that taxpayers can count on a further debt retirement tax reduction of at least .58-mills in 1985. With the .4-mill debt cut for 1984, he pointed out that if voters approve three additional mills for operations in the Oct. 8 special election, the tax increase would amount to 2.6-extra mills overall. That in­ crease would drop to just slightly more than 2-mills the following year when the 1958 bond issue is paid. Regard ng the current millag. campaign, Sanders said the PISA is sponsoring an informational meeting at 7 p.m. this Monday at the high school's large group instruction room. The public is invited to attend and ask questions about millage needs. Another millage forum will be held at 7 p.m. Tuesday at the Fine Lake Association hall. In other business, the board took action which will qualify the school district for a financial boost of approximately $51,800 in extra state aid for the 1984-85 school year. By adopting a resolution certifying that Delton-Kellogg is offering a minimum program of instruction for students, the district will be eligible for additional state aid of $28 per student. In order to receive the extra state funds, the district must meet specified criteria that includes providing for six class periods that are at least 50-minutes in length; four years of English; three years of mathematics, three years of science, three years of social studies, two years of foreign language, fine or performing arts, vocational education or practical arts or any combination thereof; one-year of health, physical education or both; and a half-year of computer education beginning in the 1985-86 school year.' Sanders said the board is concerned with the 1985 computer education requirement and it has hopes to begin expanding the district’s computer education if the proposed millage increases are approved. "I think the fact that the state specified computer education as part of the minimum program is indicative of how important this experience is for kids," be said. Initial enrollment figures show an increase tactic that legislation should be passed that could make it mandatory to pursue millage increases as a separate proposal. It is also noted that for the last 20 years that I have paid taxes the school systems have received most and maybe all of the millage increases that were asked for in order to furnish a "quality" education. However, as their track record has clearly shown by the number of high school dropouts and the number of youths who can neither read or write, this dotes not provide Jjroof that increased taxes and "quality" education are synonymous. ! of 35-students this school year, Sanders reported to the board. Enrollment had been projected at 1,885 and there are currently 1,887 pupils enrolled. Adult education students are not included in that figure. The official student count on which state aid is based will be conducted on the fourth Friday of this month. The board also: —Accepted the low bid of a 7.35-percent interest rate for a $368,976 loan for operations against anticipated tax collections to ease a cash flow problem. —Heard a report that homecoming will be held on a Friday (Oct. 5) this year to conform with schedules of other teams in toe league. The homecoming parade will be held at 6:30 p.m. and the game will start at 7:30. The Delton Lions Club will serve their annual chicken barbeque dinner from 4:30-8 p.m. Suspect’s bond reinstated A Barry Circuit Court judge Friday reinstated the bond of a Hastings man who failed to appear at his arraignment on a drug charge, after it was learned a county clerk had failed to take notice of the defendant's change of address. Wilson Benjamin Gratham. 33, 826 N. Michigan Ave., failed to appear in Barry Circuit Court Aug. 3 on a charge of delivery­ manufacture of a controlled substance, and a bench warrant was issued at that time for his arrest. Gratham told the court he first learned of the arraignment and warrant from a news article in the Aug. 9 issue of the Hastings Banner. At the bench warrant arraignment, BarryEaton Circuit Court Judge Hudson E. Deming raised Grantham's bond from $1,000 to $5,000, but later reduced it to $1,000 after learing of the clerk’s error. Gratham was arrested in June following a drug raid on his home by Hastings City Police. The felony charge of delivery or manufacture of a controlled substance is punishable by up to four years in prison andor a fine of not more than $2,000. Confiscated in the raid were several bags of marijuana, worth about $700, and about one pound of marijuana seeds and smoking parapbenalia, said police. Grantham faces arraignment this Friday on the drug charge. Probationer gets prison sentence A 19-year-old Hastings man was sentenced to 2V4 to 4 years in prison Friday for failure to report to his probation agent, and for failure to inform authorities of a change of address. Joe) D. Fulford, formerly of 137 E. Center St, will serve his sentence intially at Riverside Correction Facility in Ionia. Fulford, who said he quit school after the ninth grade, was given credit for 275 days already spent in jail on the probation violation charge. In passing sentence, Barry-Eaton Circuit Court Judge Hudson E. Deming noted "Probation just didn’t work.” Fulford was placed on probation in Dec., 1982, for larceny in a building. In other court proceedings: A Nov. 13 jury trial is scheduled for Dennis Bibbier, 28, Saranac, on charges of larceny over $100 and receiving and concealing stolen property. Prosecutors allege that Bibbier stole a Honda three-wheel motor vehicle, and concealed it.

Jobless rate drops to 10.3 percent Summer jobseekers dropping out of the state' labor force helped lower Michigan’s August unemployment rate to 10.3 percent, its lowest level in over four-and-a-half years, according to labor force estimates released by A.R. Jazowski, acting director of the Michigan Employment Security Commission (MESC). Thank you and may God be with you. Norm Watson PUBLIC OPINION: Reader criticizes Delton school board Education quality questioned by reader To the Editor: After having attended the school board meeting on Aug. 20, 1984, I came away with the feeling that the Delton-Kellogg School Board was not properly being addressed. It is felt the board is acting upon their own personal feelings along with possibly the superintendent in stating that the increased millage plus the renewal millage is needed in order to supply a "quality" education. If I understand correctly, a large portion of the two mill increase was for wage increases for the teachers and administrators. This in my opinion does not have anything to do with quality education. It is felt the board is making a bad decision by placing the millage issue on the ballot as a package which includes the renewal plus the increase millage, Especially in view of two previous defeated millage proposals. It is felt the board’s position is not in tune with the voters when 49 percent of the voting body has rejected a package proposal and would feel an obligation to separate the renewal millage from the increased millage and place them on the ballot as separate proposals. The board should remember it’s their responsibility to represent the voting public as well as providing leadership for providing an education. It is felt the board is misusing their power in putting the Delton School System in a possible bankruptcy situation when a large portion of the voting body has clearly shown that they are not in favor of the millage proposal as a package. It is also felt that legal action could be taken against the board if the school system ends up in a jeopardy situation based on the conditions surrounding this millage issue. It is further felt that school systems in general are misusing the privilege of being able to combine millage renewals and millage increases together and intimidating taxpayers into voting for an increase by placing a great emotional burden on the kids and parents of these school systems. It is felt that if school systems continue this To the Editor: With reference to your editorial of August 30, 1984, entitled “Quality Education: Communities Must Pay" — be advised that many Delton-Kellogg School District citizens have been paying - and paying - and paying! The problem is this: the term "quality education" has, unfortunately for students and citizens alike, become a propaganda catch phrase which can be interpreted by citizens to mean that the teacher’s union and. the administrators want higher salaries. There is no real assurance that the school system will offer better instruction to students. You state in your editorial, “The problem is clear that the schools need more money to operate." By whose statement and facts? Many taxpaying citizens, becoming in­ creasingly aware of and informed about school uses and abuses of tax dollars, are saying "no more additional money until you clean up your act; until students really do get Dan Wennersten Pot Speaks better instruction; until the disciplinary climate is improved; until administrator and teacher numbers ^id dollar expenditures are more in keeping with declining enrollments, and millage increases ap­ proved in the past are spent as the people were promised they would be spent” You statethatyouare”notina position to tell citizens what they should do or to advise school board members and administrators how to get their millages approved." Agreed. So don't say "the schools neec^more money to operate" when that issue is in doubt Perhaps what Delton-Kellogg School needs to do is manage well the money they have, teach kids, and quit worrying so much about paying teachers and administrators salary Gertrude Springer Nolo Edwards increases and the cost of their dental care, vision care, health and hospitalization care, life insurance and other fringe benefits.

Under the terms of Barry-Eaton Circuit Judge Hudson E. Deming's court order, arrived at Friday, the landfill s owners must start installing an impermeable clay cover over 80 acres by October 4. Also by that date, KAV-Co. must submit plans for installing special purge wells and monitor wells, under the terms of a lawsuit brought by the State of Michigan. Judge Deming did not order KAV-Co. to pay civil fines and penalties, nor to provide clean drinking water to the residents of the nearby Lake Foster subdivision, as asked for in the state's suit. The state's attorney general sued KAV-Co. in Barry Circuit Court in July over the firm's alleged pollution of groundwater in the Lake Doster area. During a week of testimony, the state presented health and environmental experts who claimed a hydrological connection between the groundwaters beneath the dump, and the waters under the homes. In his ruling. Judge Deming stated that the water supply downgradient of the landfill has been degraded by both organic and inorganic chemicals, and "That the source of this groundwater degradation is the KAV-Co. landfill.” However, Deming did not impose civil fines and penalties on the landfill owners, stating that it would be "inequitable to impose such a burden in addition to remedial measures'', meaning the wells and the impermeable clay cover. Deming also noted that KAV-Co. did not deliberately pollute the groundwaters, a further reason for not imposing civil fines. Tom Emery, assistant attorney general who represented the state during a three-day bench trial held in July, said he is "ex­ traordinarily pleased" with Deming's decision. Emery said he argued that KAV-Co.’s violation "could justify" civil fines and penalties. “It was (Deming's) determination that under the circumstances, because of the tremendous expense of the closure of the site and the purging of the groundwater, that he would not in addition allow damages. “That’s perfectly all right with me, because my con­ cern is the resource and the fact that the judge has or­ dered KAV-Co. to restore the groundwater aquifer to its original clean condition,” said Emery. "Landfills are one of the major threats to ground­ water," said Emery. "That’s the main thing we are after. Whether they have to pay a fine is not of as much con­ cern as cleaning up the environment." KAV-Co. Attorney Richard Quist of Grand Rapids said he too is pleased with Deming's decision. “I’m very happy, delighted, that Judge Deming didn't opt for civil fines," he said. However, Quist said that one month is not enough time to submit plans for purge and monitor wells. “I've talked to the engineers, and they say that one month is not enough time to get such plans together," said Quist. “I really don’t feel that Judge Deming understands what is involved nere.” Quist said he is unsure whether KAV-Co. will appeal the judge's decision, but said it is possible the company may make a motion to amend the timing of sub­ mitting the engineering plan. When asked if one month was enough time to submit well plans, Emery said “From my personal ex­ perience, if you have a court ordering you to do something, that gives you pretty high priority, and you'd better get at IL” Emery said that a com­ pany cannot avoid its "en­ vironmental respon­ sibilities'* by filing for bankruptcy. He said the attorney general's office will be looking at a case now before the U.S. Supreme Court concerning relief of "en­ vironmental responsiblities" through bankruptcy. "There is now a split of authority on the sibject," said Emery. “But the attorney general's position is that bankruptcy does not relieve KAV-Co. of its duty.” Thanks toyou... it works... for ALL OF US e UntadWtaH WILLIAM H.

Coll or writ* lor mart Info 33S3MttStlMiM,lll4l316 "The assessment by an outside consultant we had visit here was that we're a big museum operating on a little mueum s budget,” he said. He also pointed out that a rule-of-thumb in the museum field is that visitor admissions should consititute between 20 and 30 percent of the total revenues and should never ex­ ceed 33 percent. "In 1976 that figure here was 28 percent,” he said. “Since then it's in­ creased to our current 54 percent. The danger of relying that heavily on user fees to operate your facility is that a couple of rainy Sundays, a cool summer at the beach, or a couple of poorly-attended special events and you're financially in trouble. 'This year so far we’re down 8,000-to10,000 visitors due mainly to the beach, because it was not as hot this summer as it was last year, and the low turn-out we had at our two music festivals," he said. “At­ tendance at the village is about equal to last year.’’ Annual attendance at the facility since 1976 Ims ranged between 60.C00 and 70,000. except for last year when the hot summer jumped it to 83,000. Through August of this year, visitation has been just under 50,000. Another reason .'or the bottleneck, Pat­ terson explained, was the cuts of federal money that have occurred since 1981. "During the late 1970s the park was getting a sizable amount of grant money from the federal government which it used for operations and to expand the size of the village." he said. "This source has dried up.” Patterson said that there was still grant money available, but, because of a change in philosophy at the federal level, it's only being dispersed to stable institutions which show a “solid” base of local financing. "We won't get federal dollars to help us out if the local share is not adequate." he said. "They're basically saying that a museum's success or failure starts in our own backyard.” Patterson noted as well that museums and parks (except theme parks) do "not” pay their own way. "If they did you wouldn't have government units and educational foundations operating them," he added. "I can assure you that there'd be private in­ vestors around if there was money to be made.” He explained that museums are seeded and underwritten either through government appropriations, fundraising drives or an endowment fund from private corporations or foundations. Patterson said, in response Io the current budget crunch, he has frozen expenditures at the park for the rest of the year in an effort to avoid finishing in the 'red*. Patterson concluded his presentation by asking the commissioners to "begin thinking about this money situation and to begin thinking differently about Charlton Park”. "I'm asking you to consider some finan­ cing options for us." he said. "Would the county guarantee us $160,000, giving the park Thanks toyou... it works... for ALL OF US a start-up appropriation ana covering any shortfall at the end of the year? Or would the county be willing to match the visitor fees? Should we go for a county-wide cultural millage that helps fund various local public and non-profit institutions and events, in­ cluding the park? Should we go for some kind of tourist sales tax? "Either we're going to have to raise adequate revenues to run the park or we’re going to have to cut programs," he said. "In the short term, this is going to be a problem for the next three-to-four years and one that needs to be addressed.” MOVED and ‘Sort of Settled’ • SALE • ' Fit Sept 14 ’ WALLPAPER txxmarlyJl CopilolS.W.

Shaving mugs and mustache rups have not played a large roll in the collecting scene, but that is changing rapidly. Now growing numbers of collectors are actively searching attics and shops for these sometimes amusing, often beautiful, always in­ teresting Victorian gentlemen's ac­ cessories. Shaving mugs were first made in Europe and began to appear in the United States after the Civil War. The beard and-or mustache was an im­ portant part of a gentleman’s physiognomy, and cutting, curling, trimming, shaving, and even dyeing were rituals that required special equipment. The man who shaved himself at home had his mug. If he patronized the barbershop each day, his personal cup was inviolate and stood as a silent tribute to his profession and standing in the community. If he were a "drummer", traveling the country and staying in small town hotels, the shaving mug with the room number on it was as common as the roller towel and door key. Most of the early mugs came from Europe, undecorated. This opened up a whole field of design. While it was most common to have the owner's name on the mug, other designs were popular. Portraits of historical figures or ac­ tresses, patriotic motifs, and fraternal insignia were used. Mugs with mottos such as "Think of Me" and "Father” were often given as gifts, but today the shaving mug which is the most sought after, most expensive, and most rare is the occupational mug. Laboring, occupational mugs are the most common. The iceman, the milk­ man, and the blacksmith bought mugs with ready-made designs and then had their names transfer printed. Freehand painting was common, but transfers were the most popular way of decorating all kinds of ceramics. A transfer started with an engraving. The design was taken from the engraved plate by pressing thin paper on the inked plate and then pressing the paper with the wet design onto the ceramic piece. After the paper was removed, the design or name remained. Professional men rarely owned oc­ cupational shaving mugs, and con­ sequently their mugs are particularly desired by collectors and bring high prices when they can be found. If a doctor wanted an illustrated mug, he usually selected a horse and buggy, but there are some decorations showing a doctor treating a patient. Dentists seemed less reluctant to picture their trade. A dentist pulling teeth ar a large set of false teeth were two designs especially favored by them. One of the rarest of occupational mugs, and consequently the highest priced, is that of the undertaker. Such a mug sold for $800 in 1978, a tremendous jump from a similar mug advertised for $125 in 1961. During this period, silver-plating production began. A number of com­ panies produced plated shaving mugs, but these also are rare and bring high prices. In the 1890s, the electrolytic methods, which applied a thin coating of silver over the base (usually Brittania metal) were used. All kinds of mugs, cups, ewers, and tea and coffee sets could be found in relatively modest homes. Many of these can still be found today. Mugs were usually of uniform size — generally an eight-ounce capacity — and were mainly cylindrical in shape to allow the hot water to stay hot and still leave room for the brush to be swirled Sharon Heath One of the most school-spin ted adults in the Delton-Kellogg distnct is Sharon Heath who is in her sixth year as cheerleading coach for the high school. Being the coach for the freshman, junior varsity and varsity cheerleading squads during both the football and basketball seasons means that Sharon keeps a demanding schedule which is much more than just leading practice sessions and at­ tending games. Sharon credits nutritious meals as a najor factor for having the energy to keep pace with a busy schedule while she fulfills her coaching obligations besides being a wife to Ronald and mother to Brad, who is active in soccer, and Shelly who's a varsity cheerleader. “I'm not a health food nut, but I just watch what we eat," sax's Sharon who finds time to i cgularly bake homemade bread and make wheat-thin crackers besides canning and freezing produce grown in the family or­ chard and garden. Her dedication to cheerleading stems back to her own school years at Delton where she graduated in 1965. “I was a cheerleader all through school except for my junior year," said Sharon, who was bom in Battle Creek and raised in Delton where she has spent all of her life with the exception of living in San Francisco for awhile when Ron was in the service. Her introduction into the coaching arena began when she was asked :o assist a former head cheerleading coach. She and the head coach took turns attending the games, but Sharon says. "I got so fired up and excited about it that I went to all the games anyway. 1 couldn't stay away from the kids. “I fell in love with it,” she says of her current job as head cheerleading coach. "I truly loxe working with the cheerleaders. 1 had some difficult times when I was growing up and I can identify with them and feel I can help them feel good about themselves You can bring out their special talents anc help them develop a pride in our school. "I’m convinced cheerleaders are a special treed — they're loving and kind and have a lot of sincerity because it's a give situation. n* They're always giving, doing something special for the football, basketball and volleyball teams, and not expecting anything in return." That’s one reason she and the cheerleaders were especially surprised to receive roses from the basketball team last Valentine’s Day in appreciation for the spirited support. “A continuous goal keeps me coming back every year," said Sharon. That goal encompasses helping to increase school spirit and pride, good sportsmanship, and helping students build confidence in themselves. “A goal ’’ve lidd is to start with the fresh­ man cheerleaders and plant that seed of enthusiasm and culture it and each year it grows more. In four-years, that's what happened." Sharon says her philosophy of coaching revolves around telling her cheerleaders that *1'11 never make you do anything I would not do myself.’ That meant, for instance, that Sharon was willing to portray the role of the Wicked Witch of the North in a pep assembly skit with the cheerleaders. In the process, she laughs that she got more than she bargained for — she was accidently whacked Instead of gently tapped on the head with a broom as provided in the script. Sharon’s devotion to cheerleading goes way beyond the surface. She's spent time making uniforms for cheerleaders, planning and attending pep assemblies at school, and oranizing extra activities for Homecoming like the annual mothers’ tea. She has organized a high school pep club which serves as an extension of the cheerleaders with students making spirited signs, becoming involved in pep assemblies and generally promoting school spirit in other ways. And last June, for instance, she was conducting a garage sale and decided to invite cheerleaders to bring items so they could earn money towards attending camp. The garage sale lasted for five-days and total sales tallied up to $1,200. Also, she conducts a 2V4-day cheerleading clinic every summer at her Bedford Rd. 4-u..

By serving nutritious meals and snacks, she and her family get all the energy they need to enjoy a busy lifestyle. home. "My husband and son go north during that lime," she laughs. “The girls come at 9 a.m. on a Thursday and they leave at noon on Saturday. There were 34-girls here this summer. The fresh­ men brought the breakfast, the J.V.’s lunch and the varsity, supper. “It’s a chance for the freshman and the upper classmen to get acquainted and have time to socialize and gel to know me as Mrs. Heath, the person. “As a coach, I believe in strict discipline and I want them to know the other side of me...It’s a time for me to get out my old (Delton) yearbooks and old (raws) clip­ pings..and share the crazy things we did...teach them some of the old dances, etc.” During the summer clinic, “we practice for two hours and goof off for two hours...The v. .rsity teaches the freshmen the school song and sideline cheers and we have a lot of fun while we're learning. It's not long after the clinic, that Sharon is conducting four-hour practice sessions three times a week beginning the second week of July to prepare the cheerleaders for camp. Every summer she's accompanied the squads to various camps where she attends sessions geared for coaches. This summer she and the varsity cheerleaders went to a camp in Port Huron and upon her return, it was time to muster all the squads together to plan and practice for their participation in th° annual Founders Weekend parade in Deiton. Right after that, it was time to go to another cheerleading camp at Hope College with the freshmen and junior varsity. The following week Sharon’s coaching schedule begins to snowball with summer practice sessions to get ready for the up­ coming football games. Once the season gets underway, Sharon is required to attend all three games per week and in addition holds practice sessions on the other days of the week. After the season gets rolling, practice is usually cut to twice a week. But, then there are the pep assemblies to plan and attend, uniforms to clean, etc. Besides cheerleading, Sharon coached the seventh and eighth grade track team last year. She's also a licensed Emergency Medical Technician (EMT) specialist and has worked as a volunteer for the Bedford Rescue Squad and was employed part-time at Hastings Ambulance Service. In the future, her tentative plans are to go back to school and pursue nutrition studies or receive training for hospital emergency room work. Of other interests, Sharon says, "I love decorating and I'm addicted to arts and crafts fairs. "I love what I'm doing and if you eat right, you feel good and have enough energy to do what you want to do," she says. Sharon does her grocery shopping once a week and before she goes to the store she has menus “planned on paper or in my mind about what we're going to have every night...I have to do that to make everything jive. “I'm very interested in nutrition and I try to get the most for my money and foods that are nutritionally sound and easy tc fix. She prepares dinners in the morning to be a step ahead of each day's busy schedule unless she's going to be home al! day or plans to cook on the grill. And when she cooks, Sharon prepares enough to get at least two meals. "You save time that way." she says. “I might cook all day long sometimes just to get it over with and then I freeze it for later. When she she prepares a roast, for in­ stance, she buys one large enough so she can also make stew and-or vegetable beef soup with the meat that is left from the first meal. At the same time the roast is cooking, she bakes plenty of extra carrots and potatoes with it to be used with the soup and stew. With the chicken and rice recipe that Sharon shares this week, she said that after the initial meal, the leftovers can be made into a delicious casserole by cutting up the chicken and adding broccoli, cheese and sour cream or using other variations. It will be ready to se.ve after baking for about 20minutes in a 350-degree oven. "Thv chicken and rice recipe is a neat meal when you have guests over...the chicken browns and gets real crusty." A microwave (used primarily for heating rather than cooking) and an oven equipped with an automatic timer to start the baking process are aids to having dinner ready soon after she gets home. Family teamwork helps her in maintaining such a busy schedule, she said. Besides a helpful husband, both children have household tasks. Limiting the use of refined sugars and avoiding lots of sweets are important, she says. When she makes applesauce, rather than adding sugar, she uses three to five different kinds of apples which complement each other. By using whole wheat products, rather than white flour, the energy you get is "timereleased" rather than instant as with white sugar, she adds. She only serves three-ounces of meat per person at dinner, but always has plenty of vegetables (steamed when cooked), potatoes and fruits which helps to stretch the food budget while providing plenty of nutrition. Sharon’s Chicken A Rice Mix together 1-cup of whole grain brown rice and 24-cups of (canned) chicken broth. Pour into a lasagne-type dish. Wash a cut-up chicken and place chicken pieces on top of the rice and broth mixture. Sprinkle salt, pepper and paprika on top of the chicken. Bake for 1 Mr-hours in a 375-degree oven. (If desired, 1-can of cream of chicken soup or cream of celery or cream of mushroom soup may be added to the rice and chicken broth mixture before baking.) Correction for last week’s recipe In last week's story the instructions on adding water for cooking rice, Japanese style, should have said: "Level out the rice (after putting it in a pan) then touch the top of the rice with the tip of your middle finger. Pour in water until it comes up just over the knuckle of the first finger...." Presbyterian Women begin fall program , Presbyterian women will begin their fall program with a retreat at the Y-Camp on Algonquin Lake, Tuesday evening, Sept. 18, and Wednesday morning, Sept. 19. This year's leader, Jo Anne Lyon of Grand Rapids, announced the theme tfas "Congratulations • You're Gifted!". She will follow through with an encouraging message on the gifts of the Holy Spirit, who is the promised companion of believers in Christ. Mrs. Lyon has a B.S. degree in teaching and an MJ. in counselling and has gone on to use her education in a wide range of ex­ periences. She is currently on the ad­ ministrative board of Project Plant Hope (a local hunger project) of Grand Rapids, and is chairperson, of their Education Committee. She is the national treasurer of Evangelicals for Social Action. She is the wife of a Grand Rapids Wesleyan pastor and the mother of four children at home. The retreat will begin with a 6 p.m. potluck at the \ -Camp lodge, followed by the evening program with Mrs. Lyon. Joann Cotant of the local church will provide music. Those who wish may bring sleeping bags for staying overnight; others will join them for breakfast at 8 a.m. Wednesday, with time afterward for a more informal discussion of the theme with the leader. Lunch is at 11:15 a.m. and will close the retreat. Helen Keeler, chairperson of the retreat, encourages all members and friends of the Presbyterian Church, plus friends from the community, to take advantage of this op­ portunity for fellowship and spiritual enrich­ ment. There is no cost for the retreat. around. Some scuttle shaped mugs were popular from the 1870s through 19UU. The dandies of the Victorian era look great pride in their lip ornaments and devoted time and money to make their mustaches and beards attractive. The popularity of the mustache cup evolved from a need for the gentleman to drink tea or coffee without wetting his mustache. A raised lip guard was at­ tached to the inside rim of the cup, and small holes in the guard allowed the liquid to come through. The first mustache cups were made by Harvey Adams & Co. in Staf­ fordshire, England, about 1850, and other manufacturers soon followed. Cups were made in a wide assortment of materials — porcelain, stoneware, tin, silverplate and earthenware. Because the finest names in china — Belleek Crown Derby, Wedgwood, Meissen and Iniari — produced these mustache cups, they are very desirable and expensive for today’s collector. German and Prussian factories made enormous quantities. Some are very attractive, but they are not among the rarest and thus do not command the highest price. Decorations on mustache cups run a wide range. Many are delicately handpainted with flowers and berries. These are feminine looking, to be sure, but also among designs are more masculine motifs such as hunting scenes, birds, and the insignia of fraternal organizations, such as Masonic lodges. Personalized with the hobby, in­ terest, or favorite scene of the owner, the cups were often given as gifts. At the beginning of the fad, the mustache cups were sold individually. As time went on, they became part of dinner services and cups with saucers were made. Such sets are very rare and desirable. Maker’s marks can be found on many cups, but, like shaving mugs, many manufactures left their wares un­ marked or used a paper label that was easily lost or washed off. However, the lack of a mark does not lesson the cup's value, especially if one is fortunate enough to find a mustache cup and saucer set or a left-handed cup. It was only after 1842 that a Registry mark on china was required. Cups made in the United States were rarely marked, but when the words "Made in UJ.A.” appear as a mustache cup, it unquestionably was made in the 1900s. The English government forced all who wanted to trade with the British to mark their wares with the country of origin. While some potteries stamped the word "England" on their goods before 1891, it is a good bet that the stamped articles were made after 1891. In the same year, the United States required that the country of origin be put on everything brought into this country, so cups marked "Prussia” or "France”, for example, were made after 1891. The Japanese also exporte4 cups to the U.S.; the ones marked "Nippon" were made before 1914. Left-handed mustache cups, mirtored cups, cups with matching sa'icers, footed cups or cups with unusual decorations are worthy acquisitions. Those with unusual handles — in the form of angels or cupids or open butterfly wings, also offer variety. A floral design inside the cup adds interest and value. Beware of reproductions! There are many on the market. While one might think that a mustache cup or shaving mug should show signs of wear, this is not necessarily the case.

The picnic had been planned to be held at the home of LaVerne and Jean Roberts, but it was moved to the church because of in­ clement weather. There was a huge potluck dinner which was enjoyed by 60 people. Former students of North Jordan School had their picture taken together after dinner They were Gene Reuther. LaVerne Roberts Early woman industrialist Pauline Schultz McOmber was probably the only woman industrialist of her time. She was born in Germany on Jan. 21, 1867, the only child of John and Augusta Zitzke Schultz, Pauline came to America with her parents in 1871. After coming to this country, the family lived almost their entire life in Hastings. Miss Schultz, as a young woman was employed by Mr. and Mrs. Julius Russell in their dry goods store. While there she invented a skird pad, and secured a patent on it, which her em­ ployers encouraged her to display and sell during business hours in their store. They also allowed her to retain whatever profits she could make to help her earn some extra money. At first she had no thought of developing a business for herself, but to make these pads, she employed two women who operated foot-power (treddle) sewing machines. According to an article in the “Centenial Banner" and one dated 1919, Roy Roberts. Ted Jordan. Ruth Jordan Niethamer, Ford Enz. Carl Enz and Letha Smith Plants.

Ruth Niethamer talked about the old school where she had been a student before she began her teaching career there in 1911. She said that each family had to furnish a half cord of wood during the year for each child they had in the school. The »eacher had to measure the wood. The teacher also had to start a fire in the morning and that usually included splitting her own kindling. She also said that at one school wheie she taught, the board did not allow her to open windows when it got hot because that was wasting their precious firewood.

The 1919 Banner reported "the business could have far outgrown its present proportions had Mrs. McOmber’s health permitted her to care for it. But for some time it has been necessary for her to give up more and more active work of management The company was sold to Robert Walton of Kalamazoo, who had been secretary of the Kalamazoo Corset Company. He resigned his position there and, upon buying the C.H. Osborn Co., moved to Hastings because of the fact that Mrs. McOmber wished that th? company stay here. Both Mr. and Mrs. McOmber stayed with the firm until it was "squared away”. Mr. Walton operated the business here until the Depression. In 1934 the directors of the Kalamazoo Corset Company asked him to again take charge of their manufacturing business at Kalamazoo. As an extra inducement, the company gave him ample room in their large factor}- building in which to carry on the Chas. H. Osborn Co., so the com­ pany was moved to Kalamazoo. Mrs. McOmber. now a widow, was ex­ tremely disappointed that the business was moved from Hastings. Pauline McOmber spent the rest of her life in the house that she and her husband built at 328 W. Court Street. She died in 1949 at the age of 82. Having no children, she left the bulk of her estate to friends. Under the terms of her will, dated February 25. 1949. she bequested money to the Methodist Education Advancement Fund and several specific sums of money were given to friends.

Following the picnic dinner, the family held a “roast’” of Earl Enness in which each member of the family told tales about him, but he had more tales about each of them than they had about him. The weather was pleasant and everyone enjoyed sitting outside at the Kantner farm and visiting after the “roast" fun was over Agatha Sawdy fell on Roland Geiger’s porch on Thursday.

Seed is Sdloat SUBSCRIPTION SPECIAL Student photos set for Sept. 26 which stressed the idea of young people looking for business opportunities right at home, rather than going way off somewhere. This lecture gave her just the encouragement she needed to accompish something worthwhile with her invention, so after the lecture she added a few more foot-powered machines and operators and began manufacturing on a small scale. She also employed a sales lady to all on the dry goods trade in Michigan and to introduce her line, for she now had added several other items. Soon she had ten foot-power sewing machines in operation. Success came quickly. She soon needed more machines and more operators. These crowded her home so that she was forced to look for a new location where she could install power machines and employ a large force of workers. Accordingly, she rented rooms on three floors of the old National Bank Building and employed sales ladies enough to cover 10 states. Soon these quarters were loo small. By 1902 Pauline married John McOmber, who was manager of her factory, and it was named the P. Schultz and Company Together in 1902 or 03 they erected a good-sized building at 321 W. Court Street, which still stands. This building's main floor was devoted to the factory and the second floor was used as residences. In 1905, because of the impaired health of Mrs. McOmber, the P. Schultz Co. was sold to the Wright Brothers, who moved the business to their store. They continued to operate it locally for a while, then moved the business to Grand Rapids. Meanwhile, C.H. Osborn organized a similar factory in Hastings and put up a factory building located at 139 E. Court Street (now a parking lot). This com­ pany designed novelties on ladies wear. Osborn later sold the business to Messers Lombard and Lahr and Mr. and Mrs. John McOmber. Mrs. McOmber having regained her health. In January of 1910 the McOmbers bought out their partners and continued the business, which then consisted of the manufacture of brassieres, corset accessories and other women's novelties.

As of September 10, 1984, there were 1356 Registered Electors in the Township. Carol Hewit, Township Clerk Robert W. Sherwood, chairman and president of the National Bank of Hastings was elected as president of the Michigan Bankers Association 1MBA), this summer. Born in Hastings and raised in Grand Rapids, Sherwood returned to this city in 1946 to work with his father in the insurance business. Six months later his father died and he continued to operate the agency alone. He was elected to the board of directors of the National Bank in 1964. On Feb. 1,1966, he became president of the bank. He has led the bank during a period of growth, when employees grew from 12 to 23 and the firm was moved from its office at the comer of West Slate end North Jefferson streets to a 12,000 sq. ft building at the comer of Broadway and State in 1969. Sherwood talks about his work with the MBA, the role of local community banks, the future of banking and the future of Hastings in an interview with Robert J. Johnston: Why would anybody devote a whole year to being president of tlie Michigan Bankers Association and what good that does for anybody else? I think that I can be a voice, not only for banking in general, but also be a voice for independent community banks that has to be heard in Lansing, especially Lansing, and in Washington. The Michigan Banking Association, made up of 300 plus banks is the only viable instrument that banking has in the state because...we represent the large and the very small. People, if they think anything at their industry at all and the future of their in­ dustry have got to serve the industry as a whole. It goes beyond your own selfish in­ terest in your own bank, your own setfish interest for your community. This is just a broader aspect that we have. You're a voice for tbe independent com­ munity bank*. What is happening that makes that so important? What is happening is that there has been a lot of ink and a lot of conversation over the last few years that with the advent of bank holding companies, with the coming of statewide branching and regional branching, that these new laws, deregulation, could spell the demise of the community bank. It has been said that while we have 14,000 banks in this country today, within a short period of time...that number of baiks could shrink to 1,000 or 500. I don't see that this is going to happen. People have got to know that there is a place in the future for the community bank which can serve its own community, our com­ munity of Hastings if you will, as well or better than a large regional or a large money center bank moving a branch in. We're more attuned to the community. Are you as progressive? Depending on what you mean by progressive. If you mean progressive thoughts and progressive actions, yes. If you mean progressive in tbe area of thousands of dollars worth of electronic equipment delivery system, we are as progressive as we can afford to be. 1 feel personally that this bank along with many other community banks in this state has kept up with the deregulation process. We've kept up with the electronic data systems, as witness our 24hour teller system, as witness our on-line computer systems. So, yes. You cant deny that you're slewer at getting into these things than the bigger metro banks. Yes, that's right, because of resources. I cannot deny that because of resources and technical assistance we are slower to get into these things. Why, when you've got the Ben Franklin store downtown that has to go head-to-head with a Big Wheel, why should local com­ munity banks have any preferential treat­ ment? Preferential treatment — there you are talking about laws, you're talking about specifically branching laws. The branching laws that we have in the state of Michigan today are antiquated. I would hope that before this year is ended a new branching law will be in place. Ithas already passed tbe Hew and should pass the Senate before tbe end of the year. It will bring the big larger regional banks in more of a one-on-one situation with some of the community banks in the state. I've got no fear of that. peoplearea part of the community, active in the community, our directors are the same and our customers have expressed over 50 years confidence in what we do and friend­ ship with the operating people of the bank that can’t be replaced by your large metropolitan bank putting a branch in here. Nor does a large bank coming in really invest their resources, their monetary resources, in the community itself. While they might certainly lend money inside of a community, they do not invest all of the resources that they take out of a community back into the community. You think that the goodwill generated by a local community bank is enough to support you? It goes further than goodwill, it goes into community reinvestment. No, goodwill is very light treatment of that because it goes into the community service, for instance, that myself and my people have invested in this community over many years. And I include in that not only the employees, but the directors. They are county oriented people. My impression of how the slate associations work Is that they try to pull somebody out of tbe small town every few yean to provide that kind of input. In the nomination process for our association, we consider geographic location and size of banks and-or holding companies. Last year’s president is the CEO (chief executive officer) of a small bank holding company from Ionia. I am an independent banker from Hastings. Next year's president is the preBident of First of America Cor­ poration, which is a large multi-bank holding company. That’s the mechanics of how it's done, the thought that goes into the nominating process so that you do get a feel for all aspects of the business. It wasn t long ago that the president of the American Bankers Association, Lee Gun­ derson from Wisconsin, was tbe president of a $14 million bank in a small town in Wisconain. How does that compare to this bank? They're about two-thirds. What does Use president do? He works with the legislators in Lansing, worts with the Commerce Department in Lansing, chairs meetings that reach a consensus of the membership on upcoming legislation such as this branching bill that I just mentioned and necessary reform in some of the laws that are presently on the books in Michigan. Plus, he makes individual visits to banks around the state. I left Hidden Valley at Gaylord (on Tuesday) and called on seven banks in the Upper Penninsula and was home at 7:30 Wednesday night. We went to St. ignace, three banks at the Soo, had dinner in Newberry where there is one bank, with the banker there, then on down to Manistique in the morning and called on two banks there. The purpose of those visits is to get the feeling and the comment of banks of all sizes in tbe state. I plan on going to the U.P. at least five times this year. Plus I will spend a day and a half in Detroit at tbe end of this month to visit with the largest banks in the state just to determine their needs and find out what their thoughts are about things that affect banking in Michigan and the busioesss climate in Michigan. Also the president appears at a minimum of six statewide conferences during the year. For instance, tn mid-September there is a consumer credit conference. We have invited all of the installment loan officers of the member banks, so I'll address them. We have a management conference in late November which is CEO's of member banks. We have a mortgage conference that is all of the mortgage officers of member banks. Then in the spring we have a women's copnference, which is women officers of all the member banks. Those are four major ones. In addition to that, the sitting president of our association is a member of the American Bankers Association Governing Council. So I’m required to attend leadership con­ ferences In Washington a minimum of four times a year. state. It's sort of a neouious thing. There are a lot of people now who know where Hastings is that didn't know before. What is coming In banking in the ftstnre? Insurance? In the area of deregulation, eventually. Hopefully, we will be allowed to be in the insurance business, the mutual funds business, underwriting of municipal bonds, perhaps the real estate business. And the reason that I look for this to that non-bank competitors and non-regulated competitors already have these advantages to be in the financial services business, where we, because of regulation, can't enter those business. I’m about talking Sears, Merrill Lynch, JCPenney. A catch phrase there from the financial institutions industry to get us in or get them out. Do you fed that's going to be an advantage to tbe customer? One stop shopping, so to speak? I don't like that phrase. Yes, it to an ad­ vantage to the customer. One stop shopping puts me in mind of a supermarket. I don't like to be classed as a financial institution as a supermarket. I know the phrase is used a lot But it benefits the customer through broadened services of the bank that they are already using. For instance, we’re in the discount brokerage business. Prognosticating the future, you will see in the years to come, nationwide branching and hopefully nationwide usury reform. We've got many artificially ceilings on interest rates. (Some people) would say, ok, they've removed the ceilings so now the banks, because they can, will charge 25 percent for a loan. That's not at all true. Tbe market makes the rotes. Maybe we can talk about the future of Hastings. This to strictly from my standpoint...I'm convinced that the future of Hastings and our area to extremely bright became of not only our location in Western Michigan but our proximity to cities that are just doing great Forestry demo planned on Sept. 22 A demonstration of forestry equipment will be held on Saturday, Sept. 22, at 9 a.m. at the 4-H Cam­ pground on Iroquois Trail on the north side of Algonquin Lake by the Barry Soil and Water Conservation District and the Barry County Food and Agriculture Council’s Forestry Committee.

No, because there was a phrase coined by none other than Hal Buerge, "When prosperity reaches Hastings, it's going to back down M-37." And if you think about that, he to exactly right. All yuu've got to do is not drive down M-37 for a month from here to Grand Rapids and you're going to see noticable changes. Do you think we’re going to see substantial changes in terms of downtown? In terms of industry? Yes, I can see substantial changes coming in both of them, but it would have to be in­ dustry first and then the downtown area. And, let’s not forget that our county can do a lot more in the tourism area than we've done in the past. We have got probably as fine a county as there to in the state of Michigan for family vacationers. We can offer 325 named lakes, the wilds of Yankee Springs and tbe close proximity of cultural events in Grand Rapids, Lansing and Kalamazoo. ....(In industry the growth will be), to use an overworked phrase, in high tech types of industry, in the services industry. But I think, too...that a great generator of dollars or boost to the economic scene would lie in tourism. ....I'm not fearful of the downtown area having a whole lot of vacant storefronts and just falling apart became I think that this town, like lots of others, when nitty would come to gritty, that these people are good survivors, they can be doers. They got to be pushed, guided, whatever. And you want to remember, too, that we’re fortunate, as opposed to a beck of a lot of small towns in this state, to have just a great balance of industry, agriculture, financial institutions, and retail institutions. Some towns have had to close up because one in­ dustry moved out.

Trailing most of the game, Hastings fanagled a game-tying touchdown late in the fourth quarter and then proceeded to scalp the Redskins in an overtime thril’er, 22-21. Undoubtedly, those memories are in­ finitely more preferable to dwell upon than last season’s 13-0 loss to Marshall in Hastings. » Those two games in two seasons are like night and day; as different as the National Enquirer and the Wall Street Journal. This Friday in Marshall, Simpson would much prefer to see a ballgame similar to the one his team played at Marshall in 1982. Simpson doesn't believe Hastings* 22-14 opening night loss to Lakewood has sent the team plummeting into the depths of despair. "I don’t see us as being down," said Simpson, who feels the Saxons just didn't get any kind of break against Lakewood. “We're not flat even though it was probably a big loss to the kids." Actually, Simpson is not whistling in the dark. For the second year in a row it can be argued Hastings outplayed Lakewood, but a costly fumble and a blocked punt were turned into 9 easy points and that was the ballgame. The Saxon offense couldn't get the touch­ downs back because they never saw the ball. They clicked off only 12 offensive plays the entire second half, a statistic Simpson acknowledges will have to do an about face against Marshall. “I think we should be able to move the ball * Sports Words for the Y’s Tail Football - Any boy or girl in grades 3-6 can still participate in the YMCA-Youth Council's after school tail football program. The program meets in the junior high practice fields from 3:15-4:15 p.m. For those in grades 3-4, the program meets on Tuesday, and on Wednesday the 5-6 graders meet. There is no charge for this activity thanks to the Hastings Community Fund. Adult Women Volleyball League • On Monday, Sept. 17, at the Hastings High School gym, there will be a managers meeting at 7 p.m. for any team interested in playing in the YMCA-Youth Council’s volleyball league for women this fall. Any team wishing to play should attend this meeting. Those unable to attend should call the YMCA office at 945-4574. Those not on a team, but desiring to play, should also attend Monday's meeting. Practice games will begin on Monday, Sept. 17 from 7-9 p.m. and league games will commence soon after. YMCA-Youth Council Karate - The Hastings YMCA is sponsoring beginning karate classes beginning Sept. 13 or 20 from 7-8:30 p.m. at the U.A.W. Hall on Woodlawn SI., across from Bob King Park. Emphasis is placed on self-defense, basic and sport karate techniques. The cost of the class is $15 per month, payable at the door. Wear loose clothing. The instructor for the class is Steve Echtinaw, a second degree Black Belt, and ranked in the top five fighters in the Midwest by Karate Illustrated for the past two years. For more information, call the YMCA office at 945-4574 or Echtinaw at 945-2105 or 1791-9807. Women Aerobics - Starting the week of Sept. 17 and continuing for eight weeks, Nov. 5, the YMCA will be conducting its fall session of Tri-Aerobics. Tri Aerobics is a unique approach to body conditioning using joyful- dance movements and swinging music. The class is 60 minutes long and consists of bending, stretching, jumping, and dancing built around warm 14), peak work outs and cool downs. The routines are composed of dance movements that anyone can do. The cost of the program is $30. If you register by Sept. 13, participants may deduct $5 off the class fee. Each ciass has a limited number of participants, so pre-registration is mandatory. To register, send your check to the YMCA office at 520 E. Francis, Hastings For more information, call the aerobic director, Kim, at 9484135. The following is a list of the classes being offered during the fall session: Monday-Wednesday - UAW Hall, 8:154:15, regular; UAW Hal), 9:15-10:15, regular; Northwestern, 6:40-7:00, beginners and over 35; Lake Odessa Community Building, 7:008:00, regular.

Friday - As third day only, need 12 people to hold class). UAW Hall, 8:154:15, regular. Sports this week," he said. "We have to get some consistency and become more aggressive on offense." Despite running only 43 plays the entire game. Hastings did rush for 161 yards. Plus, sophomore quarterback Mike Karpinski hit four of 13 passes for 68 yards, but those are misleading numbers because four of those passes were desparation heaves in the final minute of play. Marshall, under new coach Rich Hulkow, tipped Vicksburg 7-6 last Friday. The Redskins are picked for a middle of the pack finish in the Twin Valley. “They have a pretty good defense," Simpson said of the Redskins. "They relay on their kids forcing mistakes." On offense, Marshall runs 14 different formations and could be puzzling for the Saxons to figure out, said Simpson. In other games involving county schools Friday, Maple Valley hosts Olivet, a 34 loser to Union City last Friday. Olivet, which the Lions have handled relatively easy the last two seasons, comes into the game as a legitimate SMAA title contender. Maple Valley tied Class D power Fowler at Fowler last Friday, 8-8. Delton is at home against KVA foe Kalamazoo Christian. The Panthers edged Gull Lake 124 last Friday. In that game, Delton senior Steve Tuin was a one man wrecking crew with three in­ terceptions on defense, one touchdown and 39 rushing yards, and 6-for4 passes for 108 yards and another touchdown from his quartet back spot. Middleville plays always hapless Wyoming Lee in Middleville this Friday. The Trojans opened with a convincing 204 whitewash of Hudsonville. And Finally Lakewood will try to make it two straight when it travels to Charlotte on Friday. Last week's other results T-K20, Hudsonville 0 Like Rob Heethuis, Middleville's Keith Rhines was initiated into the varsity coaching ranks with a win. The Trojans whitewashed Hudsonville 204. The Trojans breezed to a 124 halftime lead on a pair of short touchdown runs by junior quarterback Jerry Steele, who was making his first varsity start at quarterback. The first, a one-yard plunge, was set up by a 40yard pass from Steele to Tim Brown. Steele's second touchdown plunge was a four-yard dive following an abbreviated 4b yard, six-play drive. Middleville's final points came in the fourth quarter or. a two-yard run by Mike Newhouse. Steele hit Brown for the two-point conversion. Delton 12, Gull Lake 6 Delton’s Rob Heethuis made a successful debut as head coach as Delton edged Gull Lake 124. Delton took the opening kickoff and drove 80 yards in 17 plays with quarterback Steve Tuin churning the last six yards on an option play for a 64 lead. Delton made it 124 early in the second period when Tuin, making his first start as Panther quarterback, hit Dennis Munson with a 55-yard scoring strike. The second half belonged to Gull Lake. The Blue Devils, set up by an interception to the Delton 16-yard line, scored late in the third period on a nine-yard run by Art Stillwell.

Leo Gasper and Ellsworth Newton also placed in the top five in the tourney. Hastings Youth Football results given The Rodee's white seventh and eighth grade football squad traveled to Ver­ montville fora season-opening contest with a fine Vermontville team coached by Jerald Cole. Mason Christenson took the opening kickoff 70 yards for the touchdown and Chad Murphy ran in the end zone for the con­ version. Vermontville came right back down the field to score a touchdown of its own. The PAT failed. Hastings turned the ball over on an in­ terception and Vermontville scored after a lengthy march dm^.fleld. The PAT again fai'ed, making the score.12-7. . Vermontville's defense was unable to-§tpp the nextdrive and Rodee’s drove 60 yardsfor the final touchdown. The PAT failed. A stingy white defense led by Boyd Tobias and Jack Hobert held on to preserve the 14-12 victory. The white team is coached by Neil Wilder, Gary Pranshka and Gary Sunior. The fourth and fifth grade squad traveled to Lake Odessa, where things weren't quite as tough. The offensive unit, lead by Paul Rose, came away with a 264 shutout. Coaches Don Williams and Asa Randall were real pleased with the entire team's effort. Hastings’ first touchdown was nullified by a league rule which does not allow a player to advance a fumble. On their next possession, they scored another touchdown and behind a staunch defense, which had two fumble recoveries and one interception, they breezed to their victory. Rodee's other seventh and eighth grade blue squad also played in Lake Odessa and their field general, Gary Parker, lead them to a 424 win. Dan Hubbell, Parker, Rob Pool, and Kirk Zeegler scored touchdowns and Mark Steinfort caught three PAT passes. Coaches Don Ray, Carl Benner and Frank Winans praised the defensive work of Ted Armour, Scott Teske and Todd Gould. All three teams are home this week at Johnson field with the white team facing Lake Odessa and both blue squads facing Sunfield. The first game begins at 11 a.m. There is no charge.

Parents protest bus pick-up policy Dowling landmark bums Hastings firefighters answered an ear'/ morning call Tuesday at the site of the former Clear Lake Dance Hall. The two-story, wood frame structure was fully involved when units from Hastings, DeHon, Nashville and Johnstown arrived at about 5:30 a.m. The hall was built about 1900 by Frank Harrington, and had a number of owners between then, and the late 1950s, when it closed. Hastings Fire Chief Roger Caris said arson was probably to blame, explaining 'There’s no electrical service to the building, no water, no occupants, nothing to start the fire." The Barry County Sheriff Department is investigating. Parents protest distance students walk to buses by Norma Acker Thirty parents of students in the Coats Grove area presented a petition to the Hastings Board of Education, Monday, protesting the distances their children are being required to walk to bus stops. The problem is being created by con­ struction on Coats Grove Road, which has been closed. The bus route affected. Route 19, includes parts of Barber Road, Coats Grove Road, Becker Road, Fisher Road, Durkee Road and Chariton Park Road. “It's unsafe. There are no houses on that road," Shirley Griffin of 3092 Coats Grove Rd., said of her eighth grade daughter’s required walk on Fisher Road. Another woman, who was not identified at the meeting, said that her kindergarten-age granddaughter must walk 12 miles down Fisher Road when the bus drops her off in the afternoon. The parents said that they felt the pickup point could be changed so that it is closer. They said they had contacted Robert Miller, director of operational services, but he had not helped the situation. “Parents are responsible for the tran­ sportation of their children to and from ’.he school bus,” Miller said at the meeting. "The school is responsible once they get on the bus.” Miller said that he was following guidelines of the Pupil Transporation Up­ date, a publication of the Michigan Depart­ ment of Education. Superintendent Carl A. Schoessel ex­ plained that the Michigan State Police had informed the school that it is illegal to run a school bus on a closed road. He added that the school's insurance company wili not be liable for buses running on closed roads. Griffin said that the comer of Fisher Road and Coats Grove Road has been completed for two weeks. "We thought the road was still closed,” Miller said, adding that arrangements had been made with the Barry County Road Commission to notify the school when work was completed. Miller said that it was necessary to reroute the buses in that area because of the con­ struction and that maps had been sent to parents of other students involved. "We have no reason not to provide the best transportation we can." Diane Hoekstra, board president, said. "All parties involved desire to work this out." Griffin asked that somebody go out and check the road and the situation. “Let's try to work together," she said. “We are concerned about our children.” Griffin also said that neighbors both with and without children are concerned and that people living on Barber Road will be af­ fected when work starts there. tn a later interview, Schoessel said that the Continued on page 2 Hastings Area Schools could face a budget shortfall of about 2300,000 due to a decline in adult education enrollment. New guidelines at the county level that no longer require certain welfare recipients to finish high school have drastically curtailed Hastings Adult Education’s enrollment, and in addition, may force layoffs in that program. Carl Schoessel, Hastings school superintendent, said the 1984-85 budget projects 550 adult-ed enrollees, down sub­ stantially from last year's figure of 884. However, as of Monday, only about 300 persons had enrolled in the classes. The schools have until the fourth Friday in September to beef up enrollment to the projected level, or face a loss of 22,100 in state aid per lost student — about 2525,000. Schoessel said the lost revenue will be partially made up by an increase in K-12 enrollment, plus an added 228 per student bonus for meeting minimum curricular standards under state funding. But still, said Schoessel, that leaves a 2300,000 shortfall. "We still have until Sept. 28 to beat the bushes, and come up with more adult ed students, to make up the difference," said Schoessel. -.“It could have a serious impact, as we tbdget on the assumption that we will have the same level of cooperation with the DSS as in the past,” said Schoessel. "The policy changes have really hurt the system. “This doesn't mean we are in the poor house again, but it isn't good news, either. We could have used the money to build up the program, as we have in the past” According to Betty Heidt, Hastings Adult Ed coordinator, the Michigan Department of Social Services had previously required all public assistance recipients to obtain a high school diploma, if they did not have one already. According to Heidt, under the new guidelines which affect this school year, ADC mothers, alcoholics, drug abusers, and in­ dividuals over 50 are no longer required to obtain that schooling. Heidt said Barry County required those on public assistance to finish high school, or enroll in job training, since 1972, long before the state mandated it. "A certain part of the population must be made to do something for themselves, or they won’t do it,” said Heidt. "But the ones who want to get off the welfare rolls will.” Hiedt said that due to the DSS cutbacks, adult ed employment "will be cut drastically." She said her program currently has six full-time and 26 part-time employees. Dick Ritter, the director of the Barry County DSS office, said his staff has been cut back to one person to coordinate all adult ed, job training and job placement activities. "With our staffing limitations, it’s not possible to work with that many people, so we've had to reduce the target group," said Ritter. He said the Michigan State Legislature legislated changes in DSS programming with the passage in April, 1984, of the Michigan Opportunity and Skill Training Act. "The result of the change is that it is more difficult to require public assistance clients to participate in adult education programng,” said Ritter. "And (welfare) case closures are less likely to be applied." Ritter said the changes came about because of the difficulty of enforcing the requirements in certain parts of the stale. 'It was a tough program, but too tc’igh for some parts of the state. In the larger cities, it was just unworkable. People were being forced into being educated, and trained for jobs, and there just weren't any jobs at the end of the line." Ritter said the legislature mandated the change to make eligibility for public assistance more uniform throughout the state. Ritter said the change caught many school districts off guard. "Nobody really knew how many people would volunteer for these prgrams if they were not required to. We speculated, though, that a fair percentage of people would stay away," said Ritter. "To be effective, the program has to have some sanctions." Hastings man arraigned for trying to kill wife’s date Charles Eldridge Mast, 45 , 5603 Saggio Rd., Hastings, stood mute in Barry Circuit Court Friday to counts of assault with intent to commit murder, and malicious destruction of personal property. Judge Hudson E. Deming entered a notguilty plea for Mast on both counts. Mast could face up to life in prison on the assault charge, and four years for malicious destruction. Prosecutors allege that Mast assaulted a Bellevue man, identified as Ronald Wells, by smashing into his vehicle during a high speed chase across Barry County on June 8. According to Detective Sgt. Marion Bagent of the Battie Creek Michigan State Police post, Mast spotted his wife, Mary Mast, and Weils getting out of Wells's 1979 Jeep Cherokee in the parking lot of a Delton drug store at 2:30 a.m., whereupon Mast "at­ tacked Wells’s vehicle". An automobile chase allegedly followed, with Mast pursuing Wells east on Pifer and Lacey Roads. Bagont said the chase ended at the comer of M-66 and Lacey Road, when Wells'*; Jeep entered a ditch. “At that point. Mast started to beat on Wells's vehicle with a tire iron, and tried to get at Wells," said Bagent. Bagent said the Wells vehicle was repeatedly rammed from behind during the chase. "It knocked the bumper right off Well's Jeep...we never did find it," said Bagent. Wells escaped with only minor bumps and scratches, but Bagent said he could have fared worse. "He only got away (out of the ditch) because he had four-wheel drive on his Jeep,” he said. Mast is currently awaiting trial in Calhoun County on a charge of inciting to commit murder. According to state police, Mast hired a "hit man” in the winter of 1983 to murder his wife. That trial was scheduled for Tuesday, but has been postponed. Middleville’s 150th birthday celebration begins Monday ‘Dedication Day’ and 'Agriculture Day’ are the two special events that launch the Middleville Sesquicentennial celebration next week.. Other specially designated days have been planned for the remainder of the 150th birthday bash as well. The opening ceremony of the seven-day event— tabbed Dedication Day— begins at 4:30 p.m. Monday. Activities include the opening of the Middleville Lions Club park downtown, a political rally and a Chamber of Commerce dinner-dance that evening. Specifically, the plans and schedule call for visitors to park at theMiddleVilla on M-37 and then be transported by wagons to the downtown, which will be closed off. At 4:30 p.m. Rusty Kermeen of the Lions Club will dedicate the park, which overlooks the dam on the Thornapple River and is the former site of French's Flour Mill, a wellknown turn-of-the-century company. The town will then host a walk across the Main Street Bridge, which spans the river. "We're calling it the shortest bridge walk in the state.” said Steve Wiersum, chairman of Dedication Day activities. He added that walkers, who get tired, can take advantage of a refreshment stand halfway across the bridge. “We’re trying to make this a fun sort of event," Wiersum said. Once the walk and dedication are over, those political candidates present will have 150 seconds to speak, or one second for each year of the town's birthday. Incumbents and office-seekers who have accepted invitations to appear are Lt. Governor Martha Griffiths (D), State Senator Robert Welborn (R), Congressional candidates Sen. Paul Henry (R) and Gary McInerney (D), State Representatives Robert Bender (R) and Paul Hillegonds <R), and Stale Representative candidate Cheryl Lucas (D). Also expected to be on hand are David Haynes, an aid of Gov. James Blan­ chard. and a number of local county and township candidates from both parties. Following the speeches, visitors will be transported back to the MiddleVilla and* from 6:30 to 7:30 p.m. the Democrats and Republicans will host oldtime political re Hies in the lower level of the lounge. "We’re breaking them into two areas where the candidates and their supporters can greet the public,” said Wiersum. "Again, this is designed to be a fun thing." At 8 p.m. the Chamber will host a dinner, also at the MiddleVilla. That will be followed by a dance, featuring popular music from 150 years ago to the present. Tickets for the dinner are on sale at 27.50 and can be purchased from Middleville merchants or by calling the MiddleVilla at 795-3640. The event to open to the public. The park that’s being dedicated was cleaned up by the Lion Club this summer and planted with grass, shrubs and trees. "It’s a scenic type park where people can sit and watch the dam or fish,” said Wiertum. "Next summer we're hoping to add a couple of picnic tables." Tuesday is ‘Agriculture Day' for the Sesquicentennial and is designed to recognize the contribution farming and its related industries have made to the com­ munity over the past 150 years. Open houses have been set up at five of the larger farms in Middleville and tours of those various agricultural operations will be given by the proprietors. The public is in­ vited to stop by during the day. In addition, Bowens Mills will be open and giving grinding demonstrations at its restored mill. “Anybody can go at any lime to visit these places,” emphasized Rod Kenyon, a member of the Sesquicentennial Organizing Com­ mittee. On the list are: the Hen Way Farm, east of town on Moe Road; the Holstege Celery Farm, three miles west of town on Green Lake Road; American Embroys, at Pat­ terson and Bass Lake Roads; the Bruinsma Farm, two miles west of town on Green Lake Road, and the Rob Len Farms, on Bender Road south of the high school. Bowens Mills is located on Briggs Road, near Gun Lake. “The Hen Way Farm is one of the largest egg laying operations in the area," said Kenyon. "The Holstege Farm specializes in vegetable growing. American Embryos is a breeding place where embryos of high quality stock are transplanted into other cattle and fertilized, and people will be on hand there to explain the procedure. Both the Bruinsma and the Len Farms are dairy operations. Rob Len has one of the most modern milking parlors in the area and he has invited anyone who wants to get up around 5 a.m. or to come back at 4:30 p.m. to stop by and watch the milking." Also planned that day are a horse pulling contest and a mini-tractor pulling contest, both events to take place at Bender and Green Lake Roads, across from the high school. The competition for the horses starts at 4 p.m. and the tractor pulling will follow, "Some of finest horse teams in western Michigan are expected to be one hand," said Kenyon. Trophies will be awarded to the top finishers in both contests. Later that day, starting at 8 p.m., Michael's Spirits will host an *oki fashioned country dance'. The lounge is located south of town on M-37. A multiple of other events have been scheduled for the rest of the week. (For details on those day*-, plus some history of the Barry County village during the past century-and-a-half, check the special Mid­ dleville Sesquicentennial Section in Tuesday’s issue of The Reminder.) Also in this week's Hastings Banner is an article by Esther Walton, entitled “Mid­ dleville in 1903”, which lists and details th? various businesses and professional people active at that time. The Middleville Sesquicentennial opens its seven-day celebration with "Dedication Day” on Monday at 4:30 p.m. At that rime the Lions Club's recently completed park, located in the downtown and overlooking the Thornapple River, will be officially dedicated.

The amend­ ment, if approved, would rollback all taxes to 1961 levels unless they are approved by a vote of the people. New taxes would have to be approved by a vote of the people. License, user or permit fees in­ creased since 1981 would be void unless approved by a vote of the people or four-fifths of the legislature. What may seem like a good solution to the problem of continually rising taxes may. in fact, bring more complications to running government and throw a monkeywrench into our system of representative democracy. Even Robert Tisch, the Shiawasee County drain commissioner who led the tax fights of the late 1970’5, has declined to support Proposal C. Why, when we elect full-time legislators and a governor to run our state government should we take away some of their responsibilities and do away with majority rule? Elected officials are chosen by a majority of the people in local districts who believe that they will represent their interests. When the people don't like the way a legislator or governor is voting, they can remove an official from office. It is a simple system proven to be ef­ fective throughout our state and national history. When a majority of the legislature, representing a majority of the people, believes that a tax increase is necessary, they should have the power to approve the tax hike. People can involve themselves in the process by making sure their elected officials know their views. Write or call your legislator when an issue concerns you. Direct input from the people is a strong influence on how legislators vote. The simplicity of the system is evidenced by last year’s income tax hike and this year’s income tax rollback. Last year, a majority of legislators saw the need for increasing taxes. The increase solved many of the financial problems of the state, improved the state's Wall Street credit rating and restored many state government services to the people. This year, through an improving economy, state revenues were higher than projected and a majority of legislators approved a tax rollback. The system worked. Complicating the system by requiring a direct vote of the people on tax issues would, instead of increasing the people's influence, actually decrease their ability to control the direction of government. Per­ suading the entire population of Michigan to vote for or against a tax increase will require big money, big advertising campaigns and big coalitions of special interest groups. Average people will be left behind. Influencing state legislators takes only a telephone call or a letter. An unanswered question of the Voters’ Choice Amendment is what effect will it have on local government and local schools? If state taxes are cut, there is no doubt that school aid will suffer and local govern­ ment will find that state assistance m every area will be cut back. We saw that happen in the last five years and it will happen again. If you are for lower taxes and leaner government, write your legislator and write to the governor. The best choice for voters is to leave the coitstitution alone and become more interested and more involved in the legislative process. Parents protest...Continued from Page 1 schools will investigate and if it is posible, change the bus stops so that they are closer to the children's homes. Betty Johnson, bus supervisor, said that she had rerouted the buses and that it has worked well with the exception of Fisher Road. “I sympathize with the parents and grandparents," she said. "It’s a long way for the kids to walk." Johnson said that once the road closed signs are up, the school officials' hands are tied. "I never put the cost of a bus ahead of student safety," she said. "I have excellent, caring drivers." Johnson met with Jack Varney of the road commission on Tuesday and said afterward that the routes will continue as they are except that a temporary stop will be made at the intersection of Fisher Road and Coats Grove Road. The other area of concern will not be worked on for two weeks, she added. Johnson said that the intersection at Fisher Road is clear and wide, but it is soft. In other business, the board: — Accepted the resignation of JoBeth Bridleman, secretary at Central School, and Shirley Wietnik, high school Spanish and Englsh teacher. Wietnik has accepted a teaching job in Ecuador. Her resignation is Hastings effective Sept. 25. Northeastern Elementary Principal David Styf and.elementary reading specialist Mary Ruth Loughrin opened the meeting with an educational presentation on the new elementary reading series. Styf said that the new Houghton-Mifflin reading series is an example of one of the many areas that has been studied in the past year in the school system. "It was felt that to better our program, we should coordinate the materials in the curriculum." Styf said. Styf explained that all elementary teachers are now using the same basal reader and testing materials, but that most teachers still use supplementary materials. Mrs. Loughrin told the board that the Houghton-Mifflin program teaches kindergaretn students 19 consonant sounds and eight sight words. First grade students learn decoding skills and comprehension, in­ cluding word meaning, the meaning of special expressions and punctuation. "Houghton-Mifflin did a beautiful job in their selections of art wort and literature selections," she said. The school board will hold its next meeting on Monday, Oct. 15 at Pleasantview Elementary School. Banner] Send form P.S. 3579 Io P.O. Bom B tUSPS 071-830) 1952 N. Broadway, P.O. Box B. Hastings.

Two Hastings students are scholarship semi-finalists Two Hastings High School students have qualified as semi-finalists in the National Merit Scholarship Program. Reaching that level— which now qualifies then to continue onto the finals— were Andy J. Moskalik and Thomas M. Freridge, II. Moskalik is the son of Mr. and Mrs. James Moskalik, of 4186 E. Center Rd., and Freridge is the son of Mr. and Mrs. Thomas Freridge, of 3890 S. Charlton Park Rd. Some 15,000 students, representing all 50 states, were named as semi-finalists in the 30th annual Merit Program, which is con­ ducted by the National Merit Scholarship Corporation (NMSC). Students who qualified must advance to 'finalist* stage in order to continue in the competition for about 5,500 Merit Scholar­ ships. The NMSC, however, releases the names of semi-finalists as a way of publicly recognizing these students and as a means of spotlighting their academic talents and broadening their higher education op­ portunities. The 1985 competition began last fall when over one million juniors, attending some 18 000 secondary schools throughout the nation, took the qualifying test, known as the Preliminary Scholastic Aptitude TestNational Merit Scholarship Qualifying Test. The top scorers in each state, representing about half of one percent of the state's graduating class, are named as semi­ finalists. To be considered for the scholarships, qualifiers must become finalists by documenting high academic performance throughout high school, receiving the unqualified recommendation and en­ dorsement of their principals, and con­ firming their earlier test scores on the Scholastic Aptitude Test. In addition, they must provide information about themselves, including school and community activities and achievements, interests and goals. Over 13,500 of the semi­ finalists are expected to mrt these stan­ dards and about 40 percent of that number will be offered Merit Scholarships High School Principal Robert VanderVeen, in announcing the selection of the two local seniors, noted that both students have been active in school and outside it. “Andy has been active in Boy Scouts and is a member of the Computer Chib and the Biology Club,” he said. “He has been a sixth grade camp counselor and was selected to attend the Summer Science Institute at Michigan State University last year by Phillip Runkel, Superintendent of Public Instruction for the state.” “Tom," he said, “has also been active in Boy Scouts, having achieved the Order of the Arrow. He has participated in cross country, track and tennis and was a member of the Biology, French, Interact and Drama Clubs." Tom Frarldge (left) and Andy Moskalik, seniors al Hastings High School, have been named as sami-finallsts in the National Merit Scholarship Program. They are among the approximately 15,000 students from around the country to earn that honor. The two will now attempt to move up to the finalist level and from there to compete for 5,500 available Merit Scholarships. Judge orders $28,000 restitution from arsonist A Dowling man has been ordered to pay $27,650.07 restitution for the damage caused when he set fire to a home to cover the evidence of a break-in. Bradley Roger Nye, 25, E. Whitney Road, admitted to breaking into a home, located on S. Bedford Road, on March 25, and setting fire to a couch to cover the burglary. Taken in the break-in were two maps. In addition to restitution to the homeowner, Horace Edmonds, Barry-Eaton Circuit Court Judge Richard Shuster ordered Nye to pay $8,000 to Hastings Mutual In­ surance Co. Nye also received one year in the Barry County Jail, with credit for 15 days, five years probation, and was ordered to perform 200 hours of community service work. In other court proceedings: One of three Battle Creek men charged with the July 21 break-in of the Summit Steel warehouse on Railroad Street pleaded guilty in Barry Circuit Court Friday to a lesser charge. Daniel Eugene Seller, 26, stood mute to the original charge of breaking and entering of a building, a 10-year felony, and pleaded guilty to attempted breaking and entering. He could face five years in prison, or one year in the county jail, when he is sentenced Oct. 19. A Sept. 28 pre-trial is scheduled for Wilson Benjamin Gratham, 33, 826 N. Michigan Ave., on a charge of deli very-manufacture of a controlled substance. Gratham was arrested in June following a drug raid on his home by Hastings City Police. The felony charge of delivery or manufacture of a controlled substance is punishable bv up to four years in prison andor a fine of not more than $2,000. Confiscated in the raid were several bags of marijuana, worth about $700, and about one pound of marijuana seeds and smoking paraphenalia, said police. One injured, one not In traffic mishaps A Shelbyville driver was injured when he fell asleep at the wheel, while a Woodland woman, who also fell asleep, escaped injury in two separate traffic mishaps last week. Charles V. Allman, 27,of 2679 Selkirk Lake, Shelbyville, wentoff the road while traveling east on Gun Lake Road, near Airport Road, in Rutland Township on Saturday morning. The accident, which Allman told sheriff deputies occurred when he fell asleep, happened at 4:30 a.m. Allman’s vehicle crossed the center line, then went off the edge of the highway and traveled 231 feet before hitting a guardrail and a directional sign. He was taken to Pennock Hospital by the sheriff department where he was admitted. He has since been released. The following day Denise A. Schondelmayer, 20, of 283 4 N. Main SL, Woodland, fell asleep while traveling north on M-43, near Welcome Corners. That accident oc­ curred at 1:15 a.m. Schondelmayer, who was uninjured, went off the edge of the highway and struck a sign post. Daniel W. Faulman, 21, Wheeler, Mich., was sentenced to six months in the Barry County Jail, and three years probation, for the theft of an outboard motor. Judge Shuster ordered Faulman to pay $1,218.76 restitution to the victim's insurance company, and $50 to the victim, Robert LaCroix, as well as $500 in fines and costs. Faulman was questioned by Prairieville police in June after an officer noticed the wires and lines on an outboard motor in the back of Faulman’s pickup truck were cut. Further investigation revealed the motor to have been stolen the day before. David Woltjer, 21, Barry County Jail, is sheduled for trial Nov. 19 on a charge of resisting arrest. Il is alleged that Woltjer obstructed a corrections officer, Robert D. Andrus, on or about June 2, 1984. The crime is a misdemeanor, punishable by up to two years in prison. Joel Dean Fulford, 19, 545 W. Grand St, pleaded guilty to attempted breaking and entering, in connection with the July 22 burglary of an E. State Road home. Sentencing for Fulford is set for Oct. 19. He was sentenced two weeks ago to a period of 24 to 4 years for probation violation. PUBLIC OPINION: UAW overboard? Maple Valley voters say ‘NO’ to high school taxes By-a margin of 113-votes, electors in the Maple Valley School District last week turned down a proposal which would have increased taxes by four-mills for two years. No decisions have been made yet regar­ ding how the defeat win affect the school district’s programs, Superintendent J. Carroll Wolff said Monday morning. “We’ll have to review the total budget and the finance committee will be meeting to look at it,” he said. Voters defeated the millage request by 785672. A breakdown of Use Sept. 12 vote count shows that voters in Vermontville approved the proposal by a slim 338-336; while in Nash­ ville the proposal lost by 449-334. Thirtypercent of the district’s registered voters turned out for the election. Voters also defeated a request for additional millage in June. Wolff said members of the board felt that a "meeting should be arranged with representatives of the State Department of Education regarding possible options available to the Maple Valley School District. “It was agreed that another election would not be scheduled this fall," he said. If the increased operating millage had been approved, the revenues would have been used to cover the tost of inflationary expenses, hire two additional counselors and one additional teacher and expand the district’s computer program.

Bob Landis BobVanderweg Paul Kiel ability questioned To the Editor: Why should a man in his seventies even want to spend the next four years in the most demanding, even dangerous, job on earth? My husband and I are in our seventies, though not so far into them as Mr. Reagan. We live in the country, garden, can and freeze stuff, cut and split and store our own firewood • in short, we are pretty self-reliant. And we are perfectly well aware that every year we move slower, take longer to get things done, have more difficulty in un derstanding the complications of today's world. We forget things, overlook things — well, we just aren't as sharp as we used to be (or thought we were). Unless Mr. Reagan has some magic elixir, he's in the same boat as the rest of us sep­ tuagenarians. On that basis alone, we cannot be comfortable with the thought of his spending the next four years in charge. There have been, already, signs that he has the same difficulties the rest of us old timers have, but it’s glossed over, covered up. ignore. Why? Frances Crehan Bob Taylor Richard Taylor Dawn Howe Jock Patten QUESTION: The UAW has selected General Motors as the target of a strike by auto workers, citing job security as the reason. How do you feel about an auto strike so soon after the worst recession in years? Do you think this may be the UAW's last hurrah? Special school review session September 24th Residents of the Hastings Area School District are invited to attend a special meeting held to report and update them on the progess made with recommendations that were submitted to the Board of Education by the K-12 Study Committee in March of 1983. The meeting will start at 7:30 p.m. and will be held in the lecture hall of Hastings High School on Monday Sept. 24. Rod Demond Rod Demond. Hastings: "What happened is that after the union made all those con­ cessions two years ago, the auto companies raised executive salaries 40 percent. They just took the money from the concessions, and gave it to the executives. The unions are just saying ’Hey, we helped you out two years ago, now we want some back.’ It's totally justified, that's all there is to it." Bob Vanderweg. Hastbgs: "I think that the union is fighting for what it has to have. It's just getting back what it lost. If the union membership can better themselves, and both sides are satisfied after the negotiations are settled, then I don't see any harm done.” Bob Taylor. Hastings: “1 really hope the unions aren't on the way out. They are the only thing the working man has. I think asking for job security is good. There's no sense in jobbing out all that work to other countries, because it hurls our future.” Richard Taylor. Hastings. “1 feel we definitely have to have unions to get along, beyond a shadow of a doubt. GM and the big three are going to set a precedent for the smaller factories in how this thing is set­ tled.” Bob Landis. Hastings: "Unions are necessary. Companies are giving too much to the business executives. They should give some concessions back.” Paul Kiel. Shelbyville: "In my opinion, I honestly believe job security is the number one issue with the UAW. If they have to go on strike to get it, I’m for it Because if they don't get job security many of the jobs are going to be gone through automation, the farming out of work and the building of cars overseas. If it takes a strike, then that's what has to happen.” Concerning whether or not this might be the UAWs last hurrah, he said, "no — if anything it would make it better if they won the issue. But, if they lost (the issue) that might be a different story.’’ Dawn Howe. Hastings: "I really feel that the auto workers need job security just like the rest of us do because of automation and competition from other countries. Even though we're just getting over the recession, these people knew they could be targeted (to strike) so they’ve been saving and spending their money carefully to get ready for a strike." Whether this is a last hurrah for the UAW. she said. "I’m not sure because I haven't really thought about that." Jack Patten. Hastings: "I feel a small percentage of the labor force has become very greedy. I think unions might be necessary, but not when they become so strong." �i Charlton Park enjoys fair Visitors tc Charlton Park had a chance to look over and purchase some folk art and handicrafts this past weekend during the historic village's annual Folk Arts Fair'.

District Barry Intermediate School District has received an “Artist in the Schools, grant from the Michigan Council for the Arts. The grant is for $12,000 and will pay for an author to work in the Hastings and Delton Kellogg Schools two days a week throughout the school year. The grant is renewable for two. additional years, making it a three-year ex­ perience for teachers and students in the two school systems. The goals and objectives of Story Spinners Artist in Schools Projects are: -to introduce students to the art of writing and teach them the necessary skills to become good writers; -to enhance and motivate the reading of literature in all its forms; -to encourage students to use language for self ex­ pression; -"to provide teachers with suggested new techniques for teaching creative writing and stimulating children to read"; -to provide experiences for a core group of talented students which go beyond what can be provided in the regular classroom; to provide experiences in the arts which the children in this rural community do not have; -through cooperative planning between the Delton and Hastings School systems to create a network of teachers and students who are interested in the arts; --to publish with the community to enhance the community's exposure to and appreciation of literature; -to teach the skills needed to edit and organize a student publication; and -to experience working with a publisher to prepare a weekly piece for publication in the local paper. The MCA grant is in the literature category and funds the authors, Carol Fenner-Williams from Battle Creek, to work with both students and teachers. She will meet on a regular basis every week with a selected group of students at Hastings Junior High School and at Delton Middle School. These students were iden­ tified in May. based on their standardized test scores and teacher's recommendations that they showed talent or potential in writing. This core group of students will write, edit, and publish a magazine of student's works each semester. Mrs. Fenner-Williams will work at the elementary school level, primarily with the teachers. She will in­ service teachers with methods of teaching writing skills and enhancing creativity with their students. At the high school level, she will work with the advanced writing and literature classes. Fenner-Williams lives in Battle Creek and has previously conducted writing workshops in both the Hastings and Delton Schools She has published several children’s books, one of which won the Christopher Award for best Science Book in 1974. and was proposed for the Newberry Medal for Outstanding Children's Literature. As part of the Michigan Council for the Arts Grant, matching funds must be raised locally. Contributions to the Grant should be sent to Barry Intermediate School District. 202 South Broad­ way.

History of the Welcome Corners church Note: This Saturday and Sunday the Welcome Corners United Methodist Chruch. located north of Hastings, will observe its centennial. One of the few country churches still around, the Welcome Comers congregation traces its roots, and shares an ancestory. with other churches that started up and al one time flourished in the area. The church is planning a number of special events and programs during the weekend. Below is some history of the area churches and, in particular, the Welcome Comers United Methodist Church. Churches in Carlton Township Rev. Daubney of Gull Prairie, the Methodist Episcopal circuit-preacher, visited Carltjn in 1840 early in the year and, later in the year, organized a Methodist Episcopal class in the Rogers Schoolhouse. It was known as the Carlton Centre Class with 20 members in the Woodland circuit They had a Sunday School called "Sabbath School". Holmes Methodist Episcopal Class, which organized in 1843, met in Holmes School house. Then a church was built in 1874 with meetings held at first every four weeks and later fort­ nightly. Thirty church members and an average of 25 Sunday School members belonged to it. South Carlton United Brethren Class, meanwhile, was formed January 1879 by Rev. B.F. Hangerford, in the Leach Schoolhouse, with 16 members. Sunday School had four teachers and 30 scholars. West Rutland and Yeckley were united in the United Brethren Church and later, through their efforts, it was purchased and called the Goodwill Church. It was also during their time that by mutual consent the circuit became independent. This Parish, it is believed, consisted of Martin, Hen­ dershott, Goodwill (possibly Podunk and West Rutland one and the same), Yeckley (must have become in­ dependent again). Quimby, and Welcome Corners (possibly the Leach Schoolhouse Class U.B and alter, when the new church was built in 1894 was known as Podauger). The church safe, con­ taining historical in­ formation, was stolen from the Welcome Corners Church in October 1979. The safe was found in a swamp east of Hastings in 1980. Its contents were ruined by water. Much of the congregation's information has come from copies that members had in their homes and from memories. Exactly what year, from 1879-1894 (when the church was built), the Welcome Church or its idea transpired has not been determined. Churches Formed That Later Linked With Welcome Corners The Hastings Circuit was organized by the Michigan Conference in September 1884. A.K. Stewart was appointed pastor.

It has also been said that during pioneer days the Indians camped on the shores of Leach and Middle Lakes and their name for this little settlement was Padauger. According to Ogden Kaiser, a small group met some time later, possibly at the Neil Wellman home to choose a new name for the church. They couldn't stand the name Podauger and longer It is not known how they derived • at the name Welcome Comers. Mrs. Rollins Leach, before her death, told of the day of the "Raising" when the men gathered to put up the frame work. It was a warm day and the ladies served a picnic dinner in the school yard. Following dinner, the men said each woman must drive a nail in the new church. After many modest ex­ postulations from them, one small woman stepped for­ ward and said she could drive a nail, which she did, in the southeast corner of the building. That lady was Mrs Oscar Spencer, a Catholic. George Cappy, also of a different creed, helped with the building an donations. Simon Kaiser was head carpenter; Martin D. Falconer, assistant; Anson Boyse, Mason; and others were Sanford Edwards, Neil Wellman, and Orville Barnum. Simon Kaiser also built the altar rail. In a notice in the Hastings Banner of 1894; "The cor­ nerstone for the new Methodist Episcopal Church in the Leach neighborhood, three miles directly north of the Soldier's Monument, will be laid Tuesday, .October 30, 1894, at 2 p.m. fast time ... Rev. L. Delemalier of Kalamazoo, will deliver the sermon, and Presiding Elder Cogsall will be present, also the pastors of this city and neighboring towns. C.W. Jones of the Hastings Circuit will be the pastor. Everyone is invited." In the treasury book mention was made of paying train fare to Grand Rapids for Rev. Jones, Delematier and Dr. Floide. Rev. A.B. Johnson (18991903) went to the woods and brought trees which he planted to the south and west of the church yard. The Bible Class of 1908 was as follows: Sanford, Julia and Earea Edwards.

Diversity in Antique Rings by Elaine Gilbert This Week Featuring... Lucille Hecker Lucille Hecker can take a plain, relatively uninteresting object and turn it into a work of art. Once she touches her paint brush to something, like an old foo» tub, for instance, she transforms its appearance from an object one might keep in a storage closet to an item one would display proudly in a place of prominence. It wasn't until eight years ago that Lucille began to take lessons in toile painting — after she retired from a career as a teacher and schorl librarian in Battle Creek’s Lakeview School District. "When I retired I wanted to find ways to be with people and painting gets me out with other gals," she said. She still takes painting classes every week from the fall through spring. Her painting now leans toward folk art patterned after various styles from many countries. The Norweigian folk art of rose mauling is one favorite, she adds. Lucille and her husband, Laurence, work as team in pursuing their hobbies. He restores antiques that she paints and he also makes new wooden items, such as can­ dlestick holders and miniature trunks, which she also gives an artistic flair with painted designs. Finding old wooden buckets and turning , them into beautiful sewing baskets has been one joint project. Another is one of their best selling items — small decoratively painted kerosene stoves, illuminated inside with a small flickering electric light. She also paints designs on mirror wall shelves which her husband makes and on muffin stands and lazy susans. Lucille takes her art work to just one show per year — the Island Art Fair in Grand Ledge. She also takes items to an outlet in Petosky. For the past seven years, as a member of the Hastings Women’s Club, she has painted centerpieces her husband has made and donated them for the club’s annual party for senior citizens. After the meal, the cen­ terpieces are given away as prizes fo.* the seniors' bingo games. The Hecker home in the Algonquin Lake area also reflects the talents of the couple. A large old enameled coffee pot, embellished with a floral painted design, graces the family room as well as an antique foot tub that is attractively decorated and serves as a magazine holder. On the other side of the room, a child’s wooden rocker has been given a dainty painted trim by Lucille. Artistic touches are found throughout the house — from the lovely trays with paintings of fruit in the kitchen to a closet door featuring folk art designs near the living room. When she doesn’t have a paint brush in hand, Lucille is likely to devote her spare time to needlepoint which she also enjoys. She has made needlepoint covers for foot stools but one of her largest projects is currently underway. She’s covering a platform rocker that had belonged to her mother. Outdoors, the yard and flowers get a lot of attention from Lucille. In fact, she says, that's her favorite hobby and the "one I’d give up last.” ’n addition to the Hastings Women’s Club, Lucille is a member of the Hastings branch of the American Association of University Women and the Retired Teachers Book Club in Battle Creek. The Heckers moved from Nashville to the Hastings area in the fall of 1953. They have a son, Gordon, who owns Hastings Water Conditioning, and two granddaughters. Lucille was born in Everett, Mi., near DART THROW SALE Saturday and Sunday only ! Lucille Hecker likes the challenge of preparing ’complicated' recipes. Here, she pours a seasoned sour cream mixture over chicken pieces to prepare one of her favorite recipes. Clare, but moved to Hastings at the age of six. Her family later moved to Nashville where she graduated from high school. She attended Barry County Normal and then transferred to what is now Western Michigan University where she earned two bachelor of a r ts degrees — one in elementary education and one in librarianship. Lucille spent eight years teaching in rural Barry County schools and in Nashville. After obtaining her degree in librarianship, she was hired as a librarian for Battle Creek Lakeview’s Woodrow Junior High where she was employed until her retirment in 1974. Her interest in books can be found in her own kitchen too. Lucille has amassed a collection of cookbooks, all autographed by friends and relatives who have given them to her. The books range from wartime cookery, when rationing was in effect, to books bn the latest cusine techniques. Lucille says she doesn't shy away from complicated recipes, especially if they can be prepared the night before and then merely put in the oven the next day. One such recipe, which is a favorite, is for baked chicken breasts which she shares with readers this week. She notes that other kinds of chicken pieces can be used in place of chicken breasts, if desired. The other recipe she shares is for cucumbers in a sour cream sauce. “It's a good relish to add to a meal ..or to use as a salad along with sliced tomatoes. I like to make it (the cucumbers) the day before I serve it." Lucille’s Cucumbers Slice 4-cucumbers. Soak in 4-cups water and 2-Tablespoons salt for 'a to 1-hour. Drain. Add drained cukes, 4-large sweet onion. pepper to marinade: ^-cup sugar and Vfc-cup white vinegar. Let soak an hour or more. Drain. Take 1-pint of sour cream and mix a little of the marinade with it Add the cucumbers. Baked Chicken Breasts Ingredients: 10-half chicken breasts, boned; 2-cups sour cream; 1-Tablespoon worchestershire sauce; ^-teaspoon bottled hot pepper sauce; 1-clove, peeled and put through press; 2-teaspoons salt; 1%leaspoon paprika; and fine, dry bread crumbs (Kellogg’s). Place breasts in shallow pan (glass dish); mix sour cream and seasonings and pour over chicken. Turn each piece gently so it becomes well coated. Cover closely and place in refrigerator overnight. In morning, drop chicken one piece at a time into a shall dish of bread crumbs, shaking more crumbs on top.

Then, uncover and bake in 325-degree oven for 1-hour and 15-minutes. Serves 8. Call 948-8051 for Banner Classified Ads Thanks for listening to us... I I I We like to listen to YOU, too.

Over the past few years, their popularity has increased. Now women, and often men. wear several rings; sometimes on three or four fingers, after the manner of Elizabeth I. Judging from her portraits, the Queen used them to good effect on her beautiful hands. The'earliest form of ring was a signet, bearing carved or incised symbols which the owner used as his seal on documents. Signets of heavy gold, with the owner's names in hieroglyphic characters deeply cut into the bezel, have been found in ancient Egyptian tombs. Roman soldiers wore rings made of iron until iron rings came to be held as a badge of servitude. Then freed men, who had become Roman citizens, ob­ tained the right to wear gold by a special decree of the Senate. Later, fashionable men and women of Rome wore beautiful, ornate rings enriched with rubies, emeralds, diamonds, sapphire, cameo and enameling. Some were made hollow to hold poison. A hollow point, made to work as a spring, was concealed among the elaborate ornaments of the bezel. A fatal scratch could be given while shaking hands with one’s enemy. The use of a ring as an emblem of marriage is a custom older than the Christian church. Before the in­ troduction of coinage, the ancient Egyptians used gold rings as currency and the placing of a ring on his bride's finger was a token of the man en­ trusting her with his property. The Romans, too, gave rings as pledges of betrothal. The unbroken circle of the ring, with no beginning and no end, was a perfect symbol of unity for lovers. In Medieval times, charm rings were very popular. These were decorated with mystic signs and inscriptions and were set with- precious stones. Charm rings were believed to protect the wearer against the "evil eye", poisoning and witchcraft. In the late Middle Ages and on up to the 18th century, a lover would present his sweetheart with a "posy ring". This could be a plain or a decorated hoop, but the essential ingredient was a suitable poetic inscription inside, such as (in the old spelling): "My hart and I until 1 dy.’’ A posy of flowers was given with the ring, and so they became known as posy rings. An interesting old ring is the twin or gimmel. This was usually made of two flat hoops, one fitting accurately with the other and kept in place by a projection on one outside edge, so that the two formed one ring. Each half would have a name engraved inside and could, of course, be worn singly. These were used on the Continent as betrothal rings, as were the Irish Claddagh rings, which' show two hands clasping a crowned heart. With romance in mind, there was the charming early Victorian "regard" ring. This was a gold hoop set with six stones — a ruby, an emerald, a garnet, an amethyst, another ruby and a diamond. The initial letters of the stones spelled "regard ". There was also a ring whose stones spelled "dear", set with a diamond, an emerald, an amethysl and a ruby. Although now rare, these rings can sometimes be found in antique shops. The Victorians paid strict attention to mourning customs. Not content with black clothes and flowing black veils, they also wore symbolic brooches and rings. The decorations on thes° ex­ pressed grief by the conventional symbolism of draped urns, cypress tiees and weeping figures. Human hair (as 1 mentioned in an earlier column), intricately plaited and enclosed in a crystal bezel, or a tiny miniature of the deceased, also encased, were very popular. Carved jet also was used for mourning rings. The Victorians often wore "keeper" rings of heavy gold, usually decorated with chasing. Those were worn on the wedding finger over the wedding ring. In the late Victorian period, snake rings, adorned with enameled scales and jewelled eyes, became very popular. Orphan Annie decoder rings were popular in the 1930s. and many a cowboy lent his likeness to children’s rings, as did Mickey Mouse and Elvis. Various fraternal order rings, class rings, birthstone rings, mother and grandmother rings, baby rings, an­ niversary and dinner rings all play a part in our self-adornment. I will never know why the little finger is called a “pinky", but big bucks are harvested annually on these tiny treasures most admired and worn by the teenager. And who can forget the “mood ring" fad of only a few short years ago? Cheaply made and gaudy as they were, millions of people wore them and believed that their various moods stimulated the changing of the color in the stones. But then who am I to say it really didn’t? Call me irresponsible, but I wore one for a day (only as a lark, mind you), and 1 will admit, it changed colors all day long, but probably from variations in body heat, not my mood changes. If I hadn't kept saying to myself, "this is ludicrous", it may have made a believer out of me! In spite of economic changes, it seems unlikely that rings will go out of favour. It is still possible to find Vic­ torian bands with their well-set stones. Also available are delicate, ornate 18th century rings. Their special appeal suggests delicate, well-cared-for hands, whose only exercise was a little piano playing or gingerly lifting a teacup in the parlor.

K, 3d Mich., Infantry and went out in *61, came back in '65, and is now a resident of the village. His daughter Daisy keeps house for him. We are bom to die, hence the necessity of an undertaking establish­ ment such as that conducted by E.H. Lynd of Middleville, who carries a full line of kitchen, parlor and dining room suites and undertaking gcods. His stock is complete in every department. He does upholstering and picture framing. Mr. L. has been in business since 1892 and by courteous treatment he has built up a good business. He is treasurer of the township. E.J.

Curtis family holds reunion Sept. 9 On Sept. 9. the children of the Sylvester and Vera Curtis family held their annual reunion at Jordan Lake. Because of the inclement weather, the "Schoolhouse Inn”, thanks to the generosity of Jay Kimbal, was used to accomodate the family. Jay is the grandson of Violet (Curtis) Jordan. There were 118 family members present, plus three guests. A potluck dinner was enjoyed with a very generous variety and quality. This year's reunion was enhanced with a surprise birthday cake, a birthday card shower and a four-tiered wedding cake being presented. The birthday cake and cards were to honor the 75th birthday of Thelma (Curtis) Barnum. the oldest child of the family. The beautiful wedding cake, artfully made by their daughter-in-law Judy, was to honor Nellie (Curtis) and Irol Wells who will celebrate their 50th wedding anniversary on Dec. 25. Congratulations abounded during the day for Thelma, Nellie and Irol. Preceding this 'family clan' reunion, a brother and sister get-together, which in­ cluded a potluck supper, was quickly organized by Letha (Curtis) and Howard Southwell on July 4 at their home - the event being that their brother Ivan Curtis and his wife Shirley were here on vacation from their home in Bolivar, Tennessee and would be unable to attend the reunion. All the brothers and sisters were present. This family which began in 1908, was created by Sylvester and Vera Curtis. These outstanding parents had 11 girls and five boys and the family now has grown to over 200 members. Changes have occurred through marriages, births and deaths, but the love, memories, closeness and ex­ periences flourish, thanks to those wonderful parents. The parents were lifetime residents of Barry County and their home was located on Wellman Rd., Woodland. The next reunion will be Sept. 8, 1985.

Most of the farmers will probably move their grain and beans in the next few weeks although there is some talk of being able to buy storage space in the old facility.

Judge of Probate 9-20 Kiwanis travelogue focuses on Bavaria The tale of the handsome young royal recluse Ludwig II of Bavaria, lhe so-called 'mad king', is the subject of this Friday's Kiwanis travelogue— The Magnificent World of the Mountain King'. The film, presented by Howdee Meyers and Lucia Perrigo. launches the Hastings club's 37th W'orki Travel Series. It begins at 7 p.m. in the Central School Auditorium. Tickets will be on sale at lhe door. Although he lived only 80 years ago. King Ludwig II conducted himself in fashion more befitting an 18th century monarch. “The Magnificent World of the Mountain King is a romantic travel tale of the king, his country and the castles he built," Meyers and Perrigo noted. “Ludwig's life, from his birth at Nymphenburg Castle on the outskirts of Munich to his death at 41 in the Star nberger See close by, is as engrossing a story as ever came out of Hollywood," the couple added. "It is one of the most intriguing royal mysteries of recent history and is un­ folded against the background of the Alpine world he loved and where he built three of the world’s most beautiful castles— Neuschwanstein, atop a mountain; Linderhof, deep in a forest; and Herrenchiemsee, standing in the middle of an island. It is also the story of a king who rode in a golden coach by moonlight because, for him "day" was the darkest hours of the night; who gave great balls but invited no one; who dined at a golden table with guests who were not there; who had his protege Richard Wagner conduct his own operas, with His Majesty as the lone member of the audience; and who bankrupted the state by building his three dream castles which paradoxically today are one of Bavaria’s chief sources of revenue." The couple spent three years researching and filming the project and were given assistance by Prince Constantine of Bavaria and his parents, Prince Adalbert and Princess Augusta. Along with using the countryside and castles to tell the story of Ludwig the film shows the Passion Play at Oberammergau; the home of Prince Constantine; Wagner’s grandsons on stage at the Bayreuth Festival which features Wagner’s operas; the Bavarian Crown jew :1s; the centuries old procession of the Corpus Christi on the Alpine lake of Chiemsee; the happy hamelet of Gergweis, home of 500 people and 5,000 Dachshunds; and the can­ dlelighting spectacle of Herrenchiemsee when 4.000 candles cast a spell over the island place. The Meyers describe their production as "Travel Theater", which they ex­ plain is a dramatic documentary that weds storyline to scenic splendor. They use music and mood photography to heighten drama, taking audiences inside the lavish palaces and using the camera to tell stories rather than just record places.

September 20,1984, Page 9 Fall color show about to start One of the nation's most lavish fall color displays will soon begin in Michigan, creating a perfect setting for autumn festivals, eider mill visits, auto tours and other pursuits, according to the Automobile Club of Michigan. Stars in the state’s autumn spectacular are the more than 85 species of trees in 3.7 million acres of state forests and five million acres of national forests. As their leaves turn, the trees display a vivid mix of crim­ son, golden and purplish hues. Color watchers who prefer certain hues should look for sugar maples for brilliant golds and red maples for bright reds. While sugar maples outnumber other trees in many parts of the Upper Peninsula, both species are dominant in the Lower Peninsula west of 1-75 and US 27. East of that line, brilliant yellow leaves are worn by aspens, birches and poplars. Leaves of oaks vary from russet to light brown while sumac trees become almost irridescent red and tamaracks turn gold. Color is expected to be about the same as last year’s - good but not spectacular because of a dry summer. State forestry experts expect this year's color show to peak from mid-September to early October in the U.P. Best time for color viewing in Lower Michigan north of a line from Ludington to Standish will be late September to mid-October. In Lower Michigan's midsection, color viewing should be best in early and mid­ October. That region is south of a line from Ludington to Standish and north of a line from Muskegon to Port Huron. Southern Michigan should display a f color extravaganza during mid- and late October. Among the most relaxing ways to see fall color are boat cruises offered in every region of the sta’3. Two are offered on West Michigan's Lake Charlevoix. The Beaver Islander is scheduled for Oct. 6, 7,13 and 14 and the Star of Charlevoix runs daily through Oct. 14. The Timberlee Belle runs through mid-October on Boardman Lake, near Traverse City. In East Michigan, Au Sable River pad­ dleboat tours are slated Sept. 29-Oct. 21.

The prospect of playing unbeaten Lakeview at home with an 0-2 record was about as ap­ pealing as having four teeth pulled without a shot of novacaine. Thus the timing of Hastings 22-12 conquest of Marshall last Friday was perfect. Lakeview, the Saxons' opponent in their home opener this week, was 102 last year and state playoff runnenip in Class B. This year the Spartans ekked out a 7-0 squeaker over Plainwell in their opener and then blasted Albion 4020 last week. The team is comprised mostly of senior players that did not see loads of playing time last year, but that are still talented none-theless — a fact which is not lost on Simpson. "It’s gonna be a tough game.” Simpson said. "From what I’ve seen on film they’re a solid ballclub. They've shown they can play football both ways, offensively and defen­ sively." Simpson expects to have no problems Sports getting his team emotionally ready for the Spartans. "After a big win at Marshall we're eager to play Lakeview." Simpson said. Against Marshall, the Saxons did something they had failed to do against Lakewood the previous week: control the ball on offense. Playing in the rain and cold. Hastings still accumulated 227 total yards on 191 rushing and 36 passing. The brightest spot on offense has been junior Jim Cruttenden, who is developing into the Saxons' finest back with 87 and 126 yards rushing to go along with 3 touchdowns the first two games. Still. Simpson sees the need for added consistency. The Saxons scored 22 second quarter points against Marshall and zero in the other three periods. Part of the problem were penalties. Fifty yards in penalty yardage slowed the Saxon offense against Marshall. Defensively, linebacker Dave Kensington has led the team the first two games with 35 tackles and assists. Cornerback Mike Ellis Rodee’s Little League football results On Saturday, Lake Odessa traveled to Hastings to meet the White seventh and eighth grade team and were overpowered 688 as Mason Christenson scored on runs of 75, 70,60,50,45, and 30 yards. Mason finished the day with over 400 total yards. Brandon Wilder scored on a 65 yard pass and notched his second touchdown on a five yard run. Jim Lentz scored on a 45 yard pass from Jody Plank. Seven of the nine PATs were suc­ cessful. Lake Odessa scored in the final quarter to make the final score Rodee's White 68, Lake Odessa 8. Outstanding defensemen for the White were John Dunklee, Boyd Tobias, Mike Wright, Chad Murphy and Jamie Garrett. Nashville travels to Johnson Field next Saturday to take on the White team at 11a.m. Rodee’s fifth and sixth graders took on Sunfield and a staunch defense made Sun­ field turn the ball over three times. Mike Garrett, Matt McDonald, Brian Wilder and Steve Moore were more than Sunfield could handle on offense. The final score was Rodee's 20, Sunfield 0. Paul Rose had a total of 128 yards to again lead the offense. Touchdowns were scored by Ted Wilder, Jim Toburen, and Shawn Farr. Ryan Martin had two fumble recoveries and David Moore had one fumble recovery. Rodee's takes on Woodland Saturday at 1 p.m. on Johnson Field. Rodee's Blue seventh and eighth grade squad finished the afternoon of football off by Karate championships Sept. 29 The fall Mid-Michigan Open Karate Championships will be held Sept. 29 at Hastings High School.

Tennis team splits two The Hastings girls tennis team blanked Hillsdale 7-0, but were blanked themselves by Sturgis 7-0. The Saxons are now 1-2 in the league and 1-3 overall. Against Hillsdale, Amy Loftus, Bev DeCamp, Kelley Flood, and Nancy Hudson won singles matches while the doubles teams of Priscilla Dolan-Amber Schaefer, Beth Huver-Anna Loftus, and Kelly SchneiderLaura Hammond all won. defeating a very fine Sunfield team, 22-6. The offense, led by the hard running of Dan Hubbell and Matt Lumbert and fine pass catching of Rob Pool, led the Blue to the victory. Hubbell had 160 yards rushing and scored two touchdowns, while Lumbert with great second efforts all day scored the other Rodee's Blue touchdown. Gary Parker completed six of ten passes for 90 yards. Defensive standouts were Brian Turnbull with an interception and the hard nosed tackling of Todd Gould, Scott Teske and Ted Armour. All three Rodee's teams are 2-0 and will host Woodland this Saturday at Johnson Field. Saxon eagers down Harper Creek Hastings evened its Twin Valley basketball record at 1-1 with a 49 38 win over Harper Creek on Tuesday night. The Saxons are now 2-3 overall. Red-hot Amy AiKinson led the team with 29 points. Atkinson hit 13 of 23 field goals and 3 of 3 from the line. Atkinson added 14 rebounds. Kristin Trahan scored 7 points and notched 8 rebounds while Stacey Owens tossed in 5 points and grabbed 5 rebounds. Hastings jumped to a 27-16 halftime lead and then outscored the hosts 14-8 in the third period to ice the game. The Saxons hit 22 of 61 field goal attempt and 13 of 17 from the line for one of their best shooting nights of the young season. The Hastings jayvee team knocked off Harper Creek 41-33. Heather Prucha and Angie Meyers led the team in scoring with 14 and 12 points respectively. The jayvee team is now 5-0 overall and 2-0 in the league. has intercepted passes in each of the games. In other games involving county schools on Friday. Lakewood will be looking for win No. 3 when they travel to Jackson Northwest. The Mounties are 0-2 having lost to Jackson, 28-12, and Lansing Catholic Central, 41-6. Delton is another Barry County school that is will be seeking its third win. The Panthers, who upset Kalamazoo Christian 27-6 last week, travel to Kalamazoo Hacket. "It's the toughest game on our schedule," Delton coach Rob Heethuis said of Hackett, who easily disposed of defending KVA champ Galesburg last week, 28-18. The third unbeaten county school, Mid­ dleville, has a key early season showdown at Comstock Park, which was favored by some to win the 0-K Blue. The surprising Trojans already have league wins over Hudsonville and Lee. Maple Valley *0-1-1) will be out to avenge last week's 12-6 overtime loss against Olivet. The Lions play at Bellevue (0-2). In last week’s action Lake wood 7, Charlotte. 0 Bill Barker's one-yard plunge in the third quarter was all Lakewood needed to top Charlotte 7-0 last Friday. The score by Barker followed a fumble recovery by Tom Comstock at the Charlotte 34 yard line. It was Comstock’s second fumble recovery of the year. Barker then scored from the one-yard line six plays later. Sports.. • at a glance by Steve Vedder No cars in this racing The inventor of the modem bed is probably tossing and turning in his grave right this instant Whatever the gentleman (lady?) had in mind when he invented the bed, racing them probably didn’t head the list. But then, he probably didn't have an account at Hastings City Bank either. Several adventureous men and women from that establishment have banded together to race beds down city streets. And have become quite adept al doing it, thank you. It seems bed racing has become a favorite spectator “sport" at summer festivals, celebrations, and the like over the last couple years. Why, it wouldn’t be surprising If ABC replaced that skiier shown veering off the runway at the start of the network’s Wide World of Sports program and replaced him with three hulks tearing down some street in Cleveland or Buffalo pushing a bed. We're talking growing sport here. Anyway, the Hastings City Bank team has won both the 1983 and 1984 Hastings Chamber of Commerce sponsored Summerfest bed races as weB as the recent 16-entry Wine and Harvest Festival race in Kalamazoo. Mary Gilbert, personnel officer of Hastings City Bank and the unofficial "general manager" of the bank's team, said the activity gives the employees something to do together besides work 9-5 every day. She also admits competition is a part of bed racing. "It's both," Mary said. "Primarily it's getting out and participating in a public activity. “But it’s also a chance for fun in a local event that our employees can get involved with. Basically that's it" Mary said the idea of holding a bed race during Summer fest came after a group of people from Hastings wit­ nessed a race in Marshall. The group worked with the Summerfest Comttee, which okayed the idea. After receiving the go ahead from city bank officials, the word was sent out among employees the bank would sponsor a team. After assembling together a team, John Barnett, a retired senior trust officer of the bank, volunteered to build a racing bed. The rest is bed racing history. The city bank team went to outrace all comers in the two Sum­ merfest races. Mary, who treated the idea of bed racing as strictly a good time from the start, said the idea has been a hit with employees. As post time approached each oi the last two summers, she said it wasn't uncommon for bed racing to be the main topic of discussion all through the bank. As far as winning. Ms. Gilbert said it is something the contestants think about. “Don't you think most young people who run are running to win?” she asks. “They'recompetitive, butit'sall in fun. They work hard." Actually, the team began informal practices a week or two before Sum­ merfest to test out the bed and to coordinate the team's running skills. Sometimes cumbersome or faulty pieces of the bed have to be removed and replaced with better parts and the only way to know for sure what works the best is to lest it. "It can be dangerous to lose control of the bed." said Mary. “We want it to run smoothly." As for future competitions, she said, "We were told a year ago there were state and national competitions. We asked the chamber to check it out but they haven't found out anything yet." And so far al least ABC hasn't called. Maple Valley scored on its first possession and that was it. Ryan Trowbridge capped a 60-yard drive with a one-yard run for a Lion 6-0 lead. Four times the rest of the way Maple Valley had chances to score touchdowns but penalties, a fumble, and a key sack squan­ dered the chances. Olivet scored a pair of touchdowns by Kurt Baker, the second on a 10-yard run in overtime. Saxon JVs, frosh teams open their respective seasons The Hastings jayvee football team is 1-0-1 over a 3-6 win over Lakewood and a 04) tie against Marshall. In the scoreless tie, Marshall never ad­ vanced inside the Hastings 40-yard line. Hastings, meanwhile, rushed for 180 yards and passed for 75. The Saxons missed three field goals. Against Lakewood, Jeff Jacobs’ 27-yard field goal accounted for the 3-0 win. The Hastings frosh team is 2-0 after 14-6 and 14-0 wins over Lakewood and Marshall. presently involves over 1,000 young people and adults in Hastings. The certificate will enable the Barry County YMCA to enter its registered amateur athletes in official cluster and national sport competition with YMCAs around the country and to participate in national physical education programs. To meet these standards, YMCAs must conduct a balanced program of physical education, have a program committee and volunteer leaders to give guidance in policy and program development, use the National YMCA Health and Physical Education programs, and support the National YMCA competitive sports guidelines. It must also maintain qualified professional leaders, and operate with an upto-date written policy. Perhaps most im­ portant of all, Dave Storms, YMCA director, said, is that YMCA-Youth Council must continually evaluate, revise, and modernize its physldhl education program to meet changing community needs. Women’s Volleyball - Any team wishing to play in this year's adult women’s fall volleyball league must bring their roster to the managers meeting on Monday, Sept. 24 at 7 p.m. at the Hastings High School.

The turning point of the contest came early in the final period when the Trojan s Brad Bernard blocked a punt and recovered it in the end zone for a touchdown for a 14-0 lead. Lee scored on a one-yard run by Larry Seitz to cut the gap to 14-8, but Moretti scored his second touchdown minutes later on a twoyard run. Delton 27, K’zoo Christ. 6 Delton built a 14-0 halftime on a one-yard run by Munson in the first quarter and a fouryard blast by Boudo with six seconds remaining in the second period. Bob Searles kicked both extra points. Munson's touchdown came on Delton's first possession uf the game and followed a 55-yard drive. An 18-yard pass from Tuin to Todd Haven was that drive's key play. As for the second TD, Delton took possession of the ball at midfield Iwith 1:29 left in the half. The Panthers drove to the four while Bourdo finally scored. After a Hornet touchdown that cut the gap to 20-6, the Panthers scored their final touch­ down on a nine-yard run by Tuin to make the final 27-6. Olivet 12, Maple Valley 6 Words for the Y’s The Barry County YMCA was awarded bv the YMCA of the USA, the Great Lakes Physical Education Merit Award, this week for excellence in its health and physical education programs. Richard Jones, the national field con­ sultant of the YMCA of the USA, presented this award to Dave Storms, executive director of the Barry County YMCA, and praised the board of managers for its leadership in providing health and physical education programs for the whole com­ munity. Thanks to the YMCA and Youth Council's program committee, Dave Storms said that physical education programs are now of­ fered for the entire family. From learning to swim in backyard pools in the summer, to exercise programs for senior citizens, there is a physical education program for everyone. This award signifies that the YMCA and Youth Council's program committee has a solid foundation, that good administrative practices and principles are being followed, and that the staff is making a conscious effort to remain current and make con­ tributions' to the health and physical education profession.

Twenty-eight champion readers finished at least 43 books and filled their reading club folder, thus earning a gift certificate. Another six boys and girls read at least 20 books and received "gold medal" pins. Altogether over 90 children participated in the club. While a few names may have inad­ vertently been omitted, the Gold Medal Readers were: Molly Arnold, Carrie Burger, Clarissa Bowman, Matthew Cassell, Emily Cassell, Tamara Clow, Janice Eltzroth, Groden Graham, Seth Hawbaker, Matt Lancaster, Michelle Lancaster, Scott Lancaster.

The following pieces are the work of class member Vida Blood.) dicln i you want to sing? I told her 1 didn't want to die yet as I was loo young. You see, I felt that by joining in the singing, I was Riving up life, and that there was no hope. Now my attitude would be completely dif­ ferent : 1 would join in the singing. How much life has taught me! "THE PARK I REMEMBER" (ExcerpU from a longer work) by Vida Blood It never had another name, as far as I can remember. We just called it “The Park". Its area was composed of four square blocks in Hastings filled with beautiful tall oak trees and sprinkled with violets and other wild flowers. It is now the site of the present junior high school. Every summer for a while the Chatauqua came to the park. We always looked forward to that with anticipation. The huge tent was pitched on the section where the school playgrounds are now located. There was enough clearing of the trees to make it possible to do this. For one week there were morning, afternoon, and evening programs. Mornings were devoted mostly to children's entertainment and story hours. Afternoon and evening programs are a variety of lectures, music, and drama. It was there that I saw my first Shakespearean plays. 'Ye were not wealthy so we had to plan our expenditures wisely. We often purchased only one or two season tickets and the family took turns in attending. Mama and I were fortunate enough to attend the most desired programs while Papa was left to take in the lectures. One evening while I was enjoying Chatauqua with my girl friend and her mother, a very severe storm came up. The wind blew hard and the rains came. The scenery on the stage was swept off by the wind. Entertainers left the stage in a near panic. The men jumped up and along with the maintenance crew grabbed the ropes that held the tent down The women ga th er ed together in a group and began to sing "Nearer My God to Thee". I remember that I did not join them in singing. One of the older ladies said, "Why "LOVE'S SPECTRUM" by Vida Blood God look a rainbow in His hand. He crushed it. Oh! so fine. Then sprinkled it upon the snowA spectrum quite divine. It sparkled there so clear and bright. Oh! What a precious, glorious sight! I pondered what it all could meanThis message sent to ineWhen suddenly it all was dear: The gold, where could it be? The pot of gold is everywhere, It is His Love to hold and share. "TO ELSIE" by Vida Blood An angel stepped into my life. She left a footprint there. A precious mark I’ll well preserve And treasure it with care. I’ll gently pass my fingers o'er The imprint that was made And try to fashion my own life That the pattern will not fade. "MICHIGAN CINQUAIN" by Vida Blood Loose-strife... Stately tall spikes Standing erect, spreading Purple cheerfulness o'er the earth With love.

Soccer may alter Tyden traffic Creation of an Olympic-size soccer field in Tyden Park may mean an end to the traffic oval, if the city council follows the recommendations of the city engineer. Mike Klovanich, Hastings director of public works, told the city council Monday night that a regulation-size soccer field in Tyden park will abut the road at the northeast comer of the field, but that the road could be moved, along with a swing set and two “bell bouys”. The engineer's recommendations are now before the council's parks and recreation committee,- which will present a cost estimate at the Oct 8 council meeting. Klovanich said the soccer Held fits in well with his plans to remove part of the traffic oval. “I hate to mix kids and traffic,” he said. “So far we’ve been lucky." Klovanich said preminary plans call for directing traffic clockwise along the south side of the park, and ending the road in a cul-de-sac near the picnic shelter. He said the remaining, unused portion of the road would be removed and seeded over. He said the move could eliminate about 16 parking spaces. Klovanich said the new field will probably measure 210 feet by 330 feet, the international minimum size for a soccer field. Troopers report 8 HEMP tips to eliminate marijuana planting and harvesting prompted the seizure of "several hundred plants" in Barry County last week, said Lt Richard Zimmerman of the Hastings state police team. “We are having an increased response to Operation HEMP” said Zimmerman. HEMP is the acronym for Help Eliminate Marijuana Planting, a concerted effort by the state police to crackdown on the illicit weed. “We are running out of growing season now, and this is when the growers are most visible,” said Zim­ merman. He urged persons in rural Barry County to be on the lookout for strangers combing through fields at odd hours, or strange vehicles parked The state’s effort The Devoted to the Interests of Barry County Since 1856 Hastings Banner Thursday, September 27, 1984 Volume 129, No. 39—Hostings, Michigan 49058 Price 25« Charlton Park director resigns John Patterson, the director of Historic Charlton Park Village and Museum, sub­ mitted his resignation to the Barry County Parks and Recreation Commission Tuesday night. Patterson, who assumed his post in March of 1983, cited “the lack of financial support for museum programs" at the park and his feeling that needed, additional revenues would not be forthcoming from the county board of commissioners at the current time. He also cited the opportunity to advance professionally as another consideration for his departure. Patterson's last day at Charlton Park will be Friday, Oct. 19. He has taken a position with Conner Prairie, a highly-rated open air historic village near Indianapolis. Ina letter to Kevin Woods, chairman of the parks and recreation commission, Patterson said, “I feel that the financial dilemma we have faced for several years (at the park) has been as widely publicized as passible. It is up to Barry County to determine what Charlton Park should be and then fund the choice they make. It is my opinion that the decision must be made now, although everything I have been told indicates strongly that neither the funds nor the local support exist at this time." Patterson appeared before the Barry County Board of Commissioners earlier this month, giving them a breakdown of the park's budget and strongly emphasizing the need for larger and more stable revenues. He told the commissioners at that presentation that Charlton Park needea at least $160,000 a year "to operate at a sub­ stance level". He also pointed out that, with the current programs that are in place at the park, the budget should be at least $144,500. He noted that for 1984 the park’s total revenues probably would not reach $130,000. The board of commissioners — which has final authority over the facility — this year appropriated $35,000. Admissions and con­ cessions constituted the bulk of the rest of the revenues, some $80,000. In a statement announcing his resignation, Patterson said that "after considerable deliberation I have come to the conclusion that Charlton- Park, in general, and its historical and museum programs, in specific, do not enjoy broadbased support within the community. Thus, the possibility ot the county providing ‘major’ levels of new funding to provide continuity for programs does not seem realistic as this time." In his report to the commissioners, he asked them to “begin thinking about the money situation and to begin thinking dif­ ferently about Charlton Park". Among his suggestions were that the county consider "And this is the thanks I get for coming home?” Two bearded constables lead No beard? You’re busted! Rep. Robert Bender, R-Middleville. to the "jail wagon”, on charges of not having a beard during the Sesquicentennial Celebration. The phony bust followed a tongue-in-cheek speech by Bender, in which he promised to grab his share of all the graft and corruption inherent in Lansing.

Jody was elected by her fellow students to reign as the 1983 homecoming queen at Delton-Kellogg High School, she graduated with the class of 1984; and married her •prince charming’ in a storybook wedding on July 7. 1984. Last Saturday, the final chapter of her life was written. Eighteen-year-old Jody collapsed and died suddenly at her mobile home in Wayland. Doctors believe her death was caused by a aneurism in her brain, said a friend. Her death came as a shock to all her friends and relatives, said Amy Hoke of Pine Lake. “We grew up together. We've always lived next door to each other, until she was married. She was my first little friend...1’11 miss her." Amy described Jody as the type of person who was "always happy. She always had a smile. She was the most loving person 1 have ever known. Anybody who knew her was lucky. Jody was a fantastic person." Jody married Scott Bartholomew, a graduate of Wayland High School, in "a beautiful outdoor wedding last summer. She and Scott had dated for four years. They were very happily married. It was neat,” said Amy. Jody was not active in extracurricular activities in high school, but she enjoyed being a spectator at the various activities. “She took a lot of art classes and was really talented," said Amy. "She could look at just about anything and draw or paint a beautiful picture of it." Jody was born December 9, 1965 in Plainwell, the daughter of Lawrence and Patricia Wolthuis. Jody grew up in the Pine Lake area and received all of her education at Delton-Kellogg Schools. She was a member of the Doster Reformed Church and had been employed as a secretary at A & J Industries. In addition to her husband and parents. Jody is survived by two brothers, Doug and Larry, both at home, and one sister. Mrs. Jay (Tina) Cline of Wayland, her grandparents.

Donovan told the board that annexation of the Delton district in part or in total to neigh­ boring school systems is an option if local citizens will not support extra-voted millage to operate Delton schools. If annexation occured, Delton taxpayers would still have to continue to pay the debt retirement tax levy of the district in addition to assuming the school tax rate of the other Community Fund Drive kicks off on Wednesday formation concerning marijuana grow:ng should call the Wayland State Police post at 948-8283.

That action would be done through state legislation and could result in higher taxes for Delton taxpayers, commented Sanders. Twice this past summer. Dei ton voters rejected operating millage proposals, leaving the district with only eight-allocated mills from Barry County with which to operate. On Monday. October 8, Delton district voters will again be asked to approve 24.1 mills for two years. The request represents a three-mill tax increase and will appear on two ballot questions. Voters will be asked to approve 23.1-mills for operations which includes a 21.1 renewal. The other proposal asks for approval of 1-mill for capital im­ provements which includes maintainance projects and the purchase of equipment and teaching tools. Donovan said that with approval of the renewal and increase, Delton’s millage rate would rank as average in the state. Delton school board members heard an auditor's report on Monday night from Richard Buchanan, Certified Public Ac­ countant from Grand Rapids, which con­ firmed that the district would run out of cash after the November 2 payroll, without a successful election on Oct. 8, Sanders said. An auditor from the State Department of Public Instruction, after reviewing Delton's financial status, also concurred that the district would be broke after Nov. 2. "We'd have no choice but to close the doors (after Nov. 2 if the Oct. B election fails),” said Sanders. He said the district already has borrowed all the money it is currently authorized to borrow against the eight-allocated mills. If the Oct. 8 millage requests are turned down, the Delton board could decide to hold another election but that probably wouldn't be possible until late November or December. Sanden, said. In the interim, between Nov. 2 and the next potential election, the schools would have to close. Sanders said he received a letter from State Superintendent of Public Instruction Phillip E. Runkel which confired the district's need for operating funds. Runkel said he felt the 23.1-mills were needed in order for Delton to provide a quality educational program and that the other onemill request was needed to support it. In his letter, Runkel urged the community to study the issues and to vote. He also said Delton continues tn be named on the slate's list of financially critical school districts because without the operating millage there is concern that the district will not be able to provide 180-days ot quality education. �Page 2—The Hastings Bonner—Thursday.

Deming sentenced her brother to 3 to 10 EDITORIAL McGregor steps over bounds Third District Congressional candidate Jackie McGregor stepped over the bounds of reasonable campaign tactics, last week, when she accused her opponent. Congressman Howard Wolpe, K-Del la Township, of sympathizing with communists and Marxists and being anti-American. McGregor made her remarks in appearances with Howard Pollard, president of the National Rifle Association (NRA) and a former Republican congressman from Alaska. At a news conference, Pollard said that he wasn’t sure Wolpe was a communist, but his record in­ dicates that he is a sympathizer. McGregor then jumped in with her remarks. Included in a packet of mail sent to newspapers, this week, by McGregor’s campaign organization is an article criticizing Wolpe and seven other House Democrats for their actions on a tour of Africa. The article, unsigned, is copied from "Human Events” magazine, a blatantly ultra-right wing publication. If you believe the article, Wolpe, who is chairman of the Foreign Affairs Subcommittee on Africa, and his fellow Democrats had embarked on a campaign to anger our African allies and support socialists, communists and Marxists. McGregor will get into a political argument far over her head if she tries to challenge Wolpe on Africa. Wolpe studied and worked in Africa, holds a Ph.D. in African studies from Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) and taught about African political systems at Western Michigan University. He's certainly more informed on Africa than his opponent, who’s foreign policy expertise stems from right­ wing snap judgments. We may not always agree with the way Congressman Wolpe votes and he is far away from the political beliefs of Jackie McGregor. But, having political disagreements is one thing. Slandering Wolpe’s name by calling him "anti-American” and a communist sympathizer is over the bounds of reason and good taste. LETTERS to the Editor: Delton teacher expresses pride To the Editor* It is interesting that a citizen of Detroit would criticize the Delton School System. A few questions come to mind. Does he pay taxes in the district? Has he had children in the district? Has he observed any alleged misuse of funds in the district? These and many other questions come to mind as I read Mr. Green's statement in the letter to the editor that circulated locally. This will be my 24 th year of teaching in the Delton Kellogg School system. My four children have attended Delton and I have paid taxes in the district for many years. 1 am proud of my small part in a fine school. My children received an excellent education and I have always felt that my tax monies have lieen used as efficiently as possible. Mr. Green charges that the academic program is lacking. On what evidence does he base this contention? All four of my children graduated from Delton aand have gone on to college. Three have graduated and one is still attending. My oldest daughter is just short of her doctorate at Michigan State University. Does this suggest academic inferiority? 1 spent 15 years working in industry belore teaching and therefore feel qualified to make some comparisons in the efficiency, dedication and hard work exerted in the different systems. On what basis does Mr. Green condemn the school for misuse of funds and wasting money? I have taught under three Superintendents and nowhere in private industry did I see any belter management of funds than those managed by Basil Johnson. Willard Baker or John Sanders. Nowhere in my days with Sears. Roebuck Company. Kellogg Corporation or in construction did I see belter utilization of personnel and money than I have seen in the Delton School system, and nowhere have I worked with a more dedicated staff than at Delton. Mr. Green condemns the system for paying too much money to the teachers. I took a sizeable cut in salary to begin teaching. I enjoy teaching and. while 1 un­ derstood that schools cannot pay comparable salaries with private industry. I regret the fact that, while my salary has improved over the years, it has fallen further behind those in private industry with similar education and experience < seven years of college and 23 years experience). 1 strongly resent someone from Detroit telling me that I am making too much money! The gentleman from Detroit blankets the school with the charge of declining discipline. Has he spent an hour or a day, or any time at all in firsthand observation? Today's Delton student is better mannered, better dressed, and a more serious student than the student of 15 years ago. Any fair minded person would arrive al the same conclusion if he could observe the halls and classrooms of Delton High School today. Someone once defined an expert as a person who is more than 25 miies from home. Write us a letter!

According to police, the couple is responsible for the break-in and burglary of a Baltimore Township home last winter, in which a large amount of antiques, including a grandfather clock, were stolen. The homeowner has since recovered most of the stolen property In addition to a year in jail. Russell was placed on probation for five years, and or­ dered to perform 400 hours of community service. Russell, who did not complete school beyond the ninth grade, was also ordered to finish her high school education, or lake vocational training. Judge Deming noted that Carnes had a criminal record, and had been on probation for five months when he was arrested In sentencing him, the judge recommended that Stephen Carnes be allowed to attend high school completion courses or learn a trade while in prison. “I’m surprised that more people who get ripped off don't file civil lawsuits against the criminals." Judge Deming told Carnes. “I don't know why it doesn't happen more often. "This is almost like a career (for youi...Who are we going to to rip off today?" stated the judge. Russell expressed remorse for the breakin. and told Judge Deming she is ready to testify against Bert Miner, 42. the alleged leader of what police describe as a burglary­ ring that operated throughout southern Michigan, and possibly several other states. The defendants are the brothei and sister of Danny Rae Carnes. 22, also of Battle Creek. Carnes and Miner, of Battle Creek, are scheduled to be arraigned in Barry Circuit Court this Friday for breaking and entering of a building, in connection with the July 21 burglary of the Summit Steel Corp, warehouse on Railroad Street.

Detroit is more than 100 miles away, and, while Mr. Green may pay taxes and have children in the Detroit system, he appears to have no qualifications or grounds to idicl the Delton schools for its use of funds, its academic excellence, the discipline in its halls or any other of its sweeping, un­ substantiated charges. 1 have always been proud of my association with Delton as a teacher, a parent, and a taxpayer, and trust that there are many others in the Delton district that feel likewise and will continue to support a fine educational system.

To the Editor: 1 just finished reading the booklet, "A Reason for Tears", distributed by the Hastings Police Department and supported by some area businesses. I recommend that this booklet about the problem of drugs in today's home and school, be suggested mandatory reading for al) parents. Hastings doesn’t have all the problems that a big city has, but this problem of drugs has seen fit to be a major problem in our community which is not going to go away by turning our heads. At this time I’d like to thank the Police Department and area businesses which support the booklet. Hopefully, parents and Loary Arnold Gene Brown Dale Boersma Larry Smith teens will read it. Mark Peterson To the Editor: Many of your observations on Proposal C ••Voters Choice" are true and well taken. However, there are two areas which I see differently. First we don’t "need” a full-time legislature. Why? Because the more time they spend in Lansing, the more they (the legislature) try to create a kingdom to perpetuate themselves. Secondly, the other reson I would consider voting yes on "C" is that the legislature did not learn from the previous tax increase amendments which were defeated, nor did they learn from those who were recalled. Still, they have as a first priority the creation of a political kingdom. Will they never learn? Not until the people have them under control. Then and only then will the system "work” (as you say) when we do away with unwanted services-which create kingdoms.

Jr., said that con­ vincing the public that Michigan nees more prisons will be lop priority when he takes the helm of the department that oversees state lockups. Brown's department currently has 5;900 employees, and a $290 million budget, to handle 15,500 prison inmates, 8,500 parolees, and 31,000 probationers. Would you like to see more prisons built? Do you favor early release of criminals as an alternative to more prison beds? Loary Arnold. Hastings: "With the way the state economy is now, more prisons are not the answer. I don’t believe early release is the answer, either. We all have to live within our means, the state included. If prison's are too crowded, then the prisoners should have thought of that when they broke the law." Gene Brown, Hastings: "No. I think the stale legislature should repeal the early release of prisoners. I'd rather see crowded prisons than early release." Dale Boersma. Hastings: "Yes, we need more prisons. There’s so much talk about equal rights and crowding, but I can't believe the criminals weren't aware of that when they commited the crime." Boersma said capital punishment may be the answer — "It may not deter the crime, but it raises hell with second offenders." Larry Smith, Gull Lake: “I'm think we'll build all those new prisons, then in 20 years find we don't need them all. They'll sit empty like the elementary schools. But right now. criminals laugh when they get five years in prison, because they know they'll be let go in a year because of overcrowding." Bill Wooer, Deltan: "Yes. we should build more prisons and give hard criminals a little stiffer penalties " An increase in population over the years, he said, has been a factor in filling the prisons. He also noted, that at the local court level, it's frustrating when arrests are made and the person is turned loose with just a slap on the hand Con­ cerning hardened criminals who have committed serious crimes, Wooer said they should not be given early release..."let them slay and serve their term.” For lesser of­ fenses. "depending on the individual, early release might be good or it could be bad. Each case is different." Rae Hoare, Prairieville: "I definitely am not in favor of early release of criminals. If the answer to the problem has to be building more prisons, that's what should be done. We can’t continue to release these criminals early. It's a revolving door. After they are released, they often commit more serious crimes and they’re back in prison again. If it's necessary for the state to seek federal help (to build prisons), I think it should. There are grants for other things and I think federal dollars might be available under the crime program to build whatever facilities we have to have to house these criminals." Rill Mason. Vermontville: "Yes, we need more prisons. No, I do not favor early release of prisoners. They were sent there for a purpose...They already are released earlier for good behavior in most instances...! just can’t see it (as an alternative to building more prisons). Ahmo Jordan. Nashville: "I know we need them, but 1 think we should take a closer look at the basic facilities we already have. I think the state should show respect for taxpayers money. 1 think you have to look two ways to see what's happening to the state — our unemployment has been so high and unemployment causes more crime. I'm afraid we might go overboard (now) and build more prisons than we'll need down the line...because those things usually straighten out (in time) and then we'll be stuck with a tremendous budget that we don't really need Letting prisoners out early is not right, but then again it varies with the crime they committed.

So great is the current interest in collecting antique lace, that it is becoming scarce and very expensive when found. Even so. there's lace to be had if you know where to look for it. Old vintage clothing including veils, stoles, boleros, flounces, collars, cuffs, tablecloths, baby gowns, nightdresses and nightshirts are. more often than Dale Boersma Dale Boersma didn’t really know why his wife, Nancy, gave him a wok for Christmas about seven years ago. But, it sounds like she had an ulterior motive because he’s been spending more time in the kitchen ever since. At least once a week or sometimes more often, Dale prepares a Chinese meal for the family that occasionally is a five or six- course affair. He doesn't miiJ the lengthy preparation time, which he says is generally longer then the actual cooking lime. ‘1 have spent as much as a half a day getting everything ready (to cook)," he said. Chinese cooking is "not difficult, it's really quite simple. It's an interesting thing because there’s really no right or wrong way. You just wing it. I find it more creative than just following cookbook directions ’’ Although he haj about 10-cookbooks devoted to Chinese recipes. Dale says he enjoys reading them but doesn't follow them verbatim. "Chinese cooking is not like baking bread where you have to do it right or it’s a failure. Dale said he first became interested in cooking in 1970 during the time when he was building his Wall Lake home. "That’s when the Galloping Gormet had his program on television and 1 would listen to it and he had a recipe one day for liver cooked in red wine. It intriqued me and 1 tried it...I also started subscribing to Gormet magazine and keep a file of the recipes that I think we’ll like that we've not had before. “Then seven years ago Nancy bought me a wok so I started cooking Chinese. 1 just tried it and I liked iL “You really don't need a wok (to cook Chinese foods),'* said Dale. Ilisbenefical but not necessary. A wok heats more evenly and faster. Cooking with high heat is the secret of Chinese cooking. "If anyone has questions about Chinese cooking. I'd be more than happy to talk to talk to them,” be said. Besides a recipe for soy pork which Dale shares with readers thfs week, some of his favorites include Moo Goo Gui Pan which is a chicken and mushroom dish; whnie duck in soy sauce, sweet and sour meatballs, and egg rolls. "We like things hot and spicy...and with Chinese. vou get a variety of degrees of hot or mild while the basic flavor remains...! keep various hot peppers in the freezer because I think they're better than dried ones "In Chinese cooking, you rely on the natural flavors and enhance them. "It s difficult to get authentic Chinese ingredients in this area, so I started stocking them in my store." Dale owns the Superette in Hastings which he purchased in September 1979. Owning his own business “was something I always had in the back of my mind," he said. Bom. raised and schooled in Kalamazoo, Dale joined the U.S. Marine Corps after graduation from Kalamazoo Central High School. During his three-year stint in the service he was stationed in Hawaii and Japan. Afterwards, he earned a bachelor’s degree in business administration from Western Michigan University in 1958. "I got married when I was in college and started selling insurance in 1954 and I con­ tinued in the sales field (including a tenure with Allied Electronics) until 1979 when we bought the store. Dale and his wife have three daughters: Susan Rockwell of Texas. Beth and Janet. The Boersmas also have two grand­ daughters. Bird hunting and fishing for trout are two activities Dale most enjoys. A highlight of his angling endeavors was catching a 54-pound brooktrout which the DNR said was the largest caught in Michigan in 1983. "It was just 10-ounces short of the state record," he added. The Newberry area in the state’s upper peninsula is Dale's favorite fishing spot in addition to Wall and Gull lakes. "I like to hunt partridge, ruffed grouse, and pheasants, although pheasants are terribly scarse. On rare occasions I hunt geese and duck." Woodworking is another hobby he likes but that activity has taken a backburner lately. Dale is a member of Ducks Unlimited, the National Rifle Association, the Elk and Moose lodges in Hastings, and the American Legion's Hastings post. When talking about Chinese food. Dale said the following recipe is easy to prepare "and there is no waste." It can be served with rice not, trimmed in old lace. Lace has been called the "queen of textiles". No one knows for sure how it originated, but it is an ancient craft. Examples of twisted net-work have been found in the pharaohs' tombs. There are also references to lace and net in the Old Testament, although these really refer to a form of em­ broidery. The development of lace as we know it today is generally considered to have started around the 15th century, in Italy. Much of it was made by the nuns in convents for use on church linen and vestments. Later, it became a pastime for ladies of leisure. Dale Boersma cooks up a Chinese recipe in the wok he received as a Christmas gift that launched his interest in spending more time in the kitchen. and-or a Chinese vegetable, if desired. "Soy pork is as good cold as it is hot...Generally the Chinese serve three to seven or eight courses and this is just one of them." And when serving Chinese food. Dale says, "the way it looks on the table is just as im­ portant as the way it tastes."

Arlington (M-37) Middleville — Call 616-795-9441 As might be expected, it was not long before lace-making spread to France and the Low Countries. When Catherine de Medici went to France in 1535 to marry Henry II, she took one of the best Italian lace designers with her. as well as laces from her native Florence. Lace schools were later founded in France. Belgium and other countries, and the laces became known by the name of the town or district where they were made. Thus we have Valenciennes. Lille, Mechlin and Brussels lace, to mention a few. Very fine laces were also made in England, especially at Honiton in Devonshire and in Bedford and Buckinghamshire. Bedford was par­ ticularly noted for lace handkerchiefs, often called "fertility handkerchiefs", because they were presented to brides on their wedding day. Meanwhile, lace was appearing in portraits. Enormous amounts were worn by both men and women. Fashionable gentlemen adorned their necks with lace, carried lace han­ dkerchiefs, and even trimmed the lops uf their boots with lace flounces. The ladies wore lace caps and headdresses, open ruffs, soft falling lace collars, cuffs, sleeve flounces and neckerchiefs known as "whisks" Ladies’ un­ dergarments were also lavished with fine lace. Lace falls into three main classes: needlepoint and bobbin lace (both made by hand) and machine-made lace (much of which imitates the effects of the other two). Needlepoint laces are made with a needle and thread by using a variety of buttonhole stitches. Bobbin lace is made by plaiting and twisting threads, weighted by bobbins, over a parchment pattern on a pillow. A separate bobbin is used for each thread, and as many as 200 bobbins may be used for one piece of lace. Unbelievably beautiful is old Brussels lace, in which the flowers were worked with the net and consisted Vegetarian diets are more popular Vegetarian eating is no longer considered "ec­ centric”. In fact, the vegetarian lifestyle is becoming more and more popular among people of all ages who are interested in nutrition and health. Eating less meat and more fresh fruit and vegetables, whole grains, and low-fat dairy products reduces the amount of fat and increases the amount of fiber. Such a dietary change can result in immediate health benefits, such as reduced weight and lower blood pressure. The long term effects of lowering fat in your diet and in­ creasing fiber include lowering your risk of developing heart disease, intestinal problems, colon cancer, breast cancer, and obesity. There areseveral different vegetarian diets from which to choose. Some people are simply excluding red meal from their diets and sticking with fish, eggs, and dairy products. Lacto-ovo vegetarians have eliminated meat, poultry, and fish from their diets but do cook with milk, cheese, and eggs, along with plant foods. Lacto vegetarians have eliminated eggs, but continue to eat dairy products along with plant foods. Vegans eat no animal products at all. Their diets are based entirely on grains, fruits, vegetables, nuts, and seeds. Vegans need to choose their foods very carefully in order to obtain a nutritionally adequate diet Lacto-ovo vegetarian and lacto vegetarian diets can be followed with relative ease. Continued to Page 12 of four twisted and two plaited sides. In later examples, a new technique was used: narrow strips of lace were made, into which the decorations were in­ serted and sewn with needle stitches. This technique is named applique. Mechlin is an exceptionally fine, soft lace which was very popular at the French court of Louis XV and also in the first half of the 18th century England It has a beautiful, light hexagonal mesh against which are exquisite floral designs and scroll­ work. It was Queen Anne's favorite lace and she used it lavishly. Much Honiton lace was produced by means of applique. Bobbin-mad? flowers and foliage were mounted on a net ground. Queen Victoria's wedding dress was made of Honiton lace, as was that of Queen Alexandria and Queen Mary. This lace is still a favorite for royal christenings. There are many other kinds of lace including Chantilly, Torchow, Cluny, Maltese, and Irish lace. Chantilly is an old and beautiful variety that almost became extinct after the French Revolution. It was revived in the 19th century, when it was in great demand during the Victorian era for parasols and fans. Worked in dull silk threads, the pattern consists of delicate floral sprays on a mesh ground. Irish lace was made on a tambour frame with a hooked needle. Designs include harps, shamrocks, leaves and flowers. It dates from the early 19th century. Antique lace and vintage clothing are selling for big bucks, even at auction. A hand-sewn Victorian christening gown, laden with old lace, went for $150 at an Ohio auction house last February. A mid-19th century Honiton lae wedding collar brought $200. A Brussels bobbin­ lace handkerchief sold for $90. A Brussels needlepoint lace wedding gown with high stand-up collar brought the auctioneer's gavel down to the tune of $2,500. Lace may be found in soiled con­ dition Wash it carefully with a bleachfree detergent and carefully pin out to dry. in shape, on a board covered with a clean towel. A light press over dry muslin will ensure complete dryness. Store by mounting on stiff cardboard and rolling up with the lace on the in­ side. Lace can also be put between sheets of acid-free tissue paper in cardboard boxes, or in drawers, in a dry room. Antique lace is appreciated not only for its fine workmanship but also for its aesthetic appeal — almost as if a fairy spun a beautiful webb and by magic turned it into lovely lace. You lightly touch the soft, delicate threads and your fingers feel the strength and the beauty — and for one fleeting moment your heart knows the joy of the voung girl who so long ago claimed the lace wedding gown as her own. So fragile, yet so strong to have withstood the passing of time and forever be so beautiful. — FOR SALE — Oak FIREWOOD Buy Wholesale) Split, round or 8 ft. lengths.

Middleville had big gala centennial in ’34 Fifty years ago. the Hastings Banner gave accounts of the Middleville' ‘ Centennial Starting with the July -I issue. The Banner announced. “August 2, 3 and 4 will be gala days in Mid­ dleville when that village celebrates its centennial. One hundred years go. Calvin G. Hill settled on his homestead along the banks of the Thornapple, which has since been developed into the Village of Middleville. "In order to see that the event is properly observed, a committee of Middleville citizens liave been at work for several weeks, preparing an in­ teresting program for the three days... The committee in charge of the cen­ tennial celebration are as follows: Ed Blake, chairman; Grace Swift, secretary; Maude Bell, chairman of relics; Glen Blake, chairman of At­ traction Committee; Russell Bender, chairman of Sports Committee." The Banner gave progress report on July 11: "Among the many interesting relics to be displayed in connection with the Middleville Centennial is the original Calvin Hill bedstead, dresses formerly worn by Mrs. Hill and the broad axe that hewed out the logs used in constructing the first home in Thomapple Township.” The July 25 issue of The Banner listed some of the events that were io occur: an Indian village, baseball gam.*s, balloon ascension, parade with the 53piece Post Band of Battle Creek, and speeches by political hopefuls. "Calvin B. Hill would doubtless have been considerably surprised." starts out The Banner of August 8. “if he could have relumed to Middleville last week... one hundred years after he settled on the banks of the Thornapple there. Instead of fi.iding a forest land, broken by small patches of open fields, he would have found a prosperous village through which runs a modern concrete highway, with stores decked out in festive colors, and booths, amusements, and displays of pioneer relics flanking either side of the street. "The celebration opened officially on Thursday afternoon with a colorful float parade which followed a route that formerly was only a trail through a forest." The Banner then described the parade: "First came the Post Band with drums beating quick-step time. Following were the floats forming a procession more than a mile long... One of the first machine reapers to be sold in this territory passed by on truck... following this came some of the more up-to-date reapers and the contrast representing about a century of progress was startling... Midway in the parade came an old 1909 Ford driving along under its own power, followed by the latest model cf V-8s. Here also the contrast was both amusing and star­ tling... Suffice it toadd that at the end of the procession came the carriage of the Centennial Queen. Miss Orpha Headly, together with her court of honor. Marion Skinner, Vernabella Poulson. Florence Bender. Dorothy Sharpe, 6.

A group of war veterans marching behind the American flag formed an escort of honor." The Banner summed up thi rest of the celebration by saying: "Justice Potter who had a very thorough knowledge of Barry County history the:’ gave a most interesting talk upon the early days of Middleville and Thornapple Township. He stressed the character and far sightedness of its founder. Calvin B. Hill, who recognized the value of the Thornapple River in providing power, and who built a wooden dam at Middleville by per­ mission of authority of a special act of legislature nearly 100 years ago. "But regardless of platform programs there were plenty of other things in the way of amusements and exhibits to keep the crowds occupied. Each business firm in Middleville had exhibits of relics of pioneer days loaned by people of Middleville and the surrounding territory. There were spinningwheels, candle molds, household utensils, photographs, Indian arrowheads, a saw used by one of the pioneer doctors and even a wooden horse carved to scale from the first stallion brought into Thrcnapple Township. "In the evening on the platform... a historical pageant was staged under the direction of Mrs. H.E. Bennett, with the Bradley Indians... Descendants of Calvin Hill, who now reside at Kalamazoo, presented a historical scene, (with) some o( the costumes being more than a century old. Two children, Gorden Bennett and Barbara Serven, appeared in a dramatization... At the conclusion Clayton Bennett... in Indian costume sang the theme song 'Indian Dawn* to Mrs. Bennett. “In the pageant presented Friday evening, The Old School' was the theme with Miss Mattie Lynn... and 'the New School' with Mrs. T. Barry. A review of old time dancing was presented Saturday evening under direction of Miss Lydia Marsh, while Mrs. Birge Swift directed a group (in) modern steps and tap dancing. "Band and orchestra music were also included on the program which con­ cluded with a grand finale in the way of a march by village and school officers together with members of the Cen­ tennial Committee and the Centennial Queen and attendants escorted by world war veterans. "Citizens of Middleville are to be congratulated on their enterprise in producing an event of this kind, which Art Kenyon in a 1908 Ford touring car was part of Middleville's centennial parade 50 years ago. Harold Griffith's ponies pulled this patriotic centennial float. (Photos courtesy of Art and Ann Kenyon.) These early scenes (above and below) show Middleville's bridge over the Thornapple River and the manufacturing district. (Photos courtesy of Zane Mead) contained so many worthwhile events in addition to amusements... The Middleville Centennial would have done credit to a community many times its size. It was made possible through a fine cooperative spirit the original pioneers must have had in their battle with the wilderness... when it comes to doing something for the community, they do it big. That is why Middleville is such a progressive village." 02 be approved. (Grant for $12,000 Title 11A 6% Job Train­ ing Partnership Act) Yeos: Bennett. Campbell, Cusack. Fuhr.

Downtown Hostings �Page 10— The Hastings Banner— Thursday, September 27, 1984 Saxon gridders hope to regroup at Sturgis Granted, only three weeks of the high school football schedule have been licked off, but the pivotal time of the season is here for the Hastings grid team. With losses in two of their first three games, the Saxons still have a realistic chance to finish third or possibly second in the Twin Valley, one of the team's major goals for the 1984 season. Hastings is 1-1 in league contests with a victory over Marshall and last Friday’s 35-8 setback against Lakeview. To finish that high in the standings the Saxons must first beat Sturgis this Friday in Sturgis. The Trojans, who whipped Hastings last year 38-6, have beaten the Saxons three of the last four meetings. Only in 1982, when Hastings took a narrow 21-20 decision, have the Saxons prevailed. Taking into account the balance of the league this fall, a loss means the Saxons would settle for a fourth or even fifth place finish. And it’s not like the Trojans will be a cinch win. Sturgis possesses an unblemished 3-0 mark and is coming off a 6-0 over Albion. Hastings Coach Jeff Simpson is impressed with the Sturgis football program. “They execute well and capitalize on other people's mistakes,” Simpson said of the Trojans. As for Hastings, Simpson said he doesn't exactly know what to expect from his team following the Lakeview blowout. “It’ll be interesting,” he said. "The task is there. We beat Marshall and’could have beat Lakewood. The material is there and I think we can bounce back.” Against Lakeview, the Saxons produced season lows in rushing (64) and total yards Rodee’s Football Results Hastings' Shari Maurer (24) is sandwiched between two Wayland defenders in action on Tuesday night.

The Saxons hit only 15 of 39 from the field and only 8 of 13 from the line. The Saxons trailed 10-5 at the end of one period and then 26-16 at the half. Hastings was outscored the final two periods 22-15 and 9-7. Hastings is now 2-5 overall and 1-2 in the league. The Saxons play at Sturgis on Thursday and host Albion on October 2. Saxon JVs roll on to 7-0 win Angie Meyers sparked a second half comeback with 14 of her game high 16 points as Hastings beat Wayland 40-37 in jayvee basketball Tuesday night. The Saxons were losing 21-8 at the half, but led by Meyers, they erased the lead midway in the final period and grabbed the three point win.

The Rodee’s White seventh and eighth grade team entertained Nashville on Johnson field Saturday, and with a stunning offense, beat a fine Nashvi’le team 56-6. Once again Mason Christenson led the offensive surge with 375 yards. Mason scored on runs of 75,40,13and5yaids. Other scores for the White were: Brandon Wilder, Mike Wright, Jim Lentz, and on an interception by Tom Anderson. Standing out on defense were Jim Lentz, Boyd Tobias, Jack Robert, and Brandon Wilder. The White team will take on Rodee’s Blue squad Saturday, at 11 a.m. Both Rodee t quads are undefeated.

Quarterback Gary Parker did a fine job in running the offense, while Dan Hubbell, Sean Carrigan, and Kirk Zeegler did the scoring. Parker mixed the offensive plays with both the running and passing attack. Defense was lead again by Scott Teske, Todd Gould and Ted Armour. Rodee’s Blue in home this week against Rodee’s White. This promises to be quite a contest wit the winner being alone on top with a perfect record. Fun stuff, this cross country They look like they’re going to collapse in a heap when the runners finally huff and puff past the finish line. Fun stuff, this sport of cross country. Actually, it’s like no other sport at the high school level. Cross country is not only competition against other runners, but is also competition against oneself — mainly against oneself, as a matter of fact. Saxon cross country coach Don Smith says the top runners learn to push themselves past what he caUs a run­ ner’s "contempt for distance," where a person pushes himself past what he's ordinarily called upon to accomplish. This is where the great satisfaction of the sport comes in, says Smith. Not only in winnings race, which he sees only as minimally important, but seeing times improve each meet because a runner has the fortitude to push himself past normal endurances. And in cross country there are no timeouts or substitutions, no resting on offense. For 3.1 miles it’s nothing but pure effort. "Cross country has the largest sustained effort of any sport,” says Smith. "Sixteen to 20 minutes of con­ stant effort." Why would a youngster submit themself to such torture, which is some people would call dashing three miles. Anybody that's run, says Smith, knows the answer to that. "When the race is over, you ex­ perience this ‘natural high,’ explains Smith. "It can last hours or even a day or two. You grab a drink or eat a little bit and you just feel terrific." Achieving that ‘natural high' doesn't come easy, however. Smith points out cross country runners have to maintain a rigorous schedule. For instance, days are split up into hard ones and easy ones. An easy day, the day before and after a meet, con­ sists of running between two and three miles at a comfortable pace. A hard day begins with a one mile warmup jog followed by six 50-yard dashes with a jog recovery. Then, following the pace of Saxon captains Mike Shaw and Cherie Bradley, the runners will race two more quarter miles and then conclude the practice with a quarter mile race against the jayvee team. Tough, admits Smith, but necessary. "If a runner doesn’t enjoy training, they won’t enjoy running,” he says. To a person just beginning to run. Smith suggests running with someone at their own pace, chatting and simply having an easy time of it. As they continue to train in that manner, a runner’s conditioning will improve and they will become naturally faster with the running becoming distinctively easier. Some runners, like athletes in any sport, can follow a schedule like that better than others. But in cross country, says Smith, runners seem to have more empathy for the less talented. It is common for the faster runners to be seen cheering on the slower ones. “Because they know than even though some runners are faster, maybe the slower ones are putting forth more effort even though it’s taking them longer," he says Smith says he enjoys cross country because, like golf or bowling, it can be enjoyed for a lifetime. "My goal is to get the kids to run into their 20s, 30s and 40s," says Smith, "I like to sec them enjoy it and learn to stay in good physical condition.” Even though it looks like a runner is dying when he’s having such fun. (107) while the passing totals (107) were misleading because70 of those yards came in the team's last series of downs when the game was all but over. Those statistics, however, were not compiled by an inept offensive team, but rather were the result of an outstanding Spartan defensive unit. "We got dominated on the line, un­ doubtedly,” Simpson said following the game. "We played one of the better teams we could have played.” Hastings isn't the only Barry County team whose back is against the wall awaiting the possible arrival of a firing squad this Friday. Maple Valley, Middleville and Delton have already picked up conference losse- and can ill afford any more setbacks. Maple Valley (1-1-1) plays at Springfield this Friday with the Lions seeking theii second straight win. Maple Valley, still alive but somewhat wounded in the SMAA title race, blasted Bellevue 32-12 last week. Middleville (2-1) will be trying to remain alive in the O-K Blue title race with a game at home against Godwin. The Trojans were nicked with a disapointing 14-8 loss at Comstock Park, a place where misfortune always seems to strike Thornapple Kellogg. Delton (2-1) plays a non-league game at Berrien Springs. The Panthers' slim hopes for a KVA championships were dealt a severe blow last Friday as Kalamazoo Hackett blasted the Panthers 48-6. One local team which has been played good football is Lakewood (3-O). The Vikings, however, face their stiffest test of the young season at Greenville. Lakewood 26, Jackson 6 Junior tailback Bill Barker rushed for three touchdowns and caught a 34-yard pass for another score as Lakewood bumped off Kioo Hackett 46, Delton 6 The Fighting Irish rolled to 22-0 halftime lead, withstood a third quarter Panther touchdown by Dennis Munson, and coasted to their third straight win of the season. Hackett was led by halfback Chris Havlock, who ran for two touchdowns and passed for a third. Munson, who was one of the few bright spots with 11 carries and 80 yards, scored on a four-yard run for the Panthers’ only points. Saxons upend Lakewood net team, 5-2 A sweep in singles and a victory in the third doubles carried Hastings to a 5-2 win over Lakewood. Hastings is now 3-3 overall and is 2-2 in the Twin Valley. Picking up wins in singles were Amy Loftus, 6-1, 64); Kelly Flood, 6-1, 6-2; Anna Loftus 64), 64); and Beth Huver, 64), 64). In doubles, Shannon Williams and Kim McCall picked up a win by default Carey. Mrs. Bowerman, formerly of Clarksville, has been an avid Tiger fan since, well, since before teenager Al Kaline was breaking in his first glove in the middle 1960s. “My goliy," says the still quite snappy Mrs. Bowerman. “It’s been 20-30 years I’ve been a Tiger fan.” She can’t name all the Tigers position by position, but she knows a more than a few of them via the descriptions by Harwell and Carey. For instance, Mrs. Bowerman remembers the time a few weeks ago when "Sweet Lou" smashed a grand slam homer to beat Milwaukee. Or the time Ln California when centerfielder Chet Lemon was conked on the head with a fly ball and was taken from the field on a stretcher. And then there are those Tigers she almost recognizes, but who she can't quite attach a name. "I remember Gibby, what’s his name again?” she asks, shaking her head. Mrs. Bowerman is asked if she has a favorite Tiger. “I hate to mention one Tiger — I like them all. I can't see them that well, but I can see them in my brain," says Mrs. Bowerman, who is the proud owner of two Tiger hats and a-pennant. Although Mrs. Bowerman has never personally made the trek to Tiger Stadium, she listens to practically every Tiger broadcast from the pre-game guest show to Ninaty-ona year old Edna Bowerman displays one of her Tiger hats and pennants. Mrs. Bowerman says she's been a Tiger fan for 20-to-30 years. the sentiments of many Tiger fans. Mrs. Bowerman is well-aware of what the Tigers have accomplished this summer. For instance, she knows they’ve already cap­ tured the American League East and now await the playoffs and possible first World Series appearance since 1968. Mrs. Bowerman, who follows no baseball team other than the Tigers, is quick to offer an opinion on the Tigers’ chances of gaining a worlo championship. “I’m so anxious for them to win," she smiles. But will they do it? she’s asked. “Well, I just keep saying they will," she says. “I think they will." Mrs. Bowerman, who has two children. two brothers and a sister still alive, remembers her husband Ralph as being a Tiger fan. They were married 34 years before he passed away, 36 years ago “We liked baseball but we never had a radio," she recalls. Why did she begin listening to the games on the radio? “Just because it was Detroit and 1 liked ballgames," she says. Since the World Series doesn’t end until the middle of October and if all goes according to plan, Mrs. Bowerman is hoping she’ll be able to listen to three more weeks of Tiger baseball.

Scheessel reported Monday night. Schoessel held a special meeting to deliver a progress report on the school-wide study that was instituted by then-Superintendent Richard Guenther and the board of education. Recommendations by the kindergarten through third grade (K-3> study group that have been met are: — lengthening the school day; — restoration of a perceptual training program; — restoration of full-time elementary school principals; — use of computers at the elementary level; — educate and inform the public regarding school affairs. In addition. Schoessel said that several recommendations have either been partially attained or are under study. They are: — reduction of class size; — establishment of a developmental kin­ dergarten; — creating curriculum continuity between grade schols: — implementing a science education program; — establishing a program for the gifted and talented; — increasing the use of community resources in the classroom ; — broadening subject areas taught in the early elementary program. Recommendations made by the grades four through six study group that have been completely or substantially attained are: — lengthening of the school day; — employing a curriculum coordinator; — strengthening staffing through the use of aides and volunteers; — employing a full-time librarian, — employing full-time principals at each elementary school. Several recommendations have also been partially attained, Schoessel said.

The vocational education committee made the following recomendations which have been completely or substantially attained: — account separately for vocational fund monies; — continue regular meetings of the vo-ed curriculm committe; — investigate partnership training act for possible funding; — Implement a policy for maintaining and replacing equipment in the vocational education areas; — sponsor a career day. Recommendations made by the vo-ed committee that have only been partially attained or are still under study are: — appoint a part-time vocational education director; — evaluate relationship with CEPD 36; — promote vocational education among students and the community; — update and modernize vocational education courses. In the area of t>om-in» traction. there were eight recommendations which have been completely or substantially attained made by the committee’s on building and main­ tenance, building use, and transportation and food Services: — to have a separate millage for Immediate roof repairs and or replacements; — establish a contingency fund for the repair and or replacements of major plant facilities such as boilers; — continue Pleasantville Elementary School as is ; — establish a plan to purchase three school buses per year until no bus is over 10 years old; — all buses should have two-way radios — maintain updated bus routes; — continue the food service program m its present form; — establish a contingency for repair and or replacement of major appliances. Two recommendations made by the committees in the area of non-instruction which are still under study or have been only partially attained: — sell Algonquin School; — consolidate room usuage in the high school to lake advantage of the "zoned” heating system. The administrative and finance committee made two recommendations which have been completely or substantially attained: — to have 12 administrators including superintendent, curriculum, noninstructional, business, six full-time prin­ cipals, and two assistant principals; — to designate building repairs for the highest priority. A recommendation made by the com­ mittee which is still under study is to establish a system for department heads. Joseph Hubert, who with his wife Anne cochaired the steering committee, told the audience that when the k-12 study committee began its work in October of 1982, Hastings schools were in a "serious mess." “We were to examine the entire program in Hastings; everything in the school system was to be reviewed,” Hubert said. He added that some people believed the k12 study committee was a hoax to get a millage passed, but that the group disaproved because the millage was defeated a second lime. "I can't imagine how many hours were put into this. For six months there were meetings every night on some committees,” Hubert said. Robert Miller, director of operational services gave a “before and after" slide presentation, showing improvements that have been made based on recommendations made by the k-12 study committee. Some of those improvements include roof repairs and replacement replacement of buses, capeting, windows, boilers, lockers, machinery, restrooms, drapes, lights and gymnasium floors. Miller reported that energy consumption at the high school was reduced by 150 per cent last year. Dr. Earl Newman, director of educational services, said that changes in the area of instruction are often gradual. Newman said that the progress report “represents the assessment of what we have doen with these recommendations so far.” He added, "This is an exercise which every school district should take on from time to time." Superintendent Carl Schoessel told the audience, "We are pleased that we .lave made progress in some areas and are disapointed about the lack of progress in others. We are not perfect and never wUl be. There will always be challenges." Health, government officials happy with court decision on KAV-Co THURS.

Park director resigns, continued from page 1 guaranteeing a $160,000 budget by giving the park a start-up appropriation and covering any shortfall at the year’s end; matching the visitor fees; seeking a county-wide cultural millage that would help fund various local public and non-profit institutions and events, including the park; or instituting some kind of tourist sales tax. Patterson said that Charlton Park stands today "as a nationally significant institution — one of only a couple of hundred with similar size and scope. "It is significant," he added, “not because of artifacts associated with great people, but because of artifacts — tens of thousands of them — which document the lives of our ancestors; the everyday, ordinary people who made this country great. It also is significant for its rustic setting and clean environment, which may make it unique in the nation for this kind of museum." He added though that, while the park is a Barry County resource, the most expensive programs it operates service county residents "infrequently". “The residents of this county must decide what they want Charlton Park to be and the elected leaders must provide adequate funding to implement the appropriate programs.” he said. “It is up to the people of Barry County to determine whether the legacy of Irving Charlton and the com­ mitments to the development of a living historical village should be continued. “If these are the goals for Charlton Park," he added, "a considerable increase in county funding will have to be forthcoming for the next several years or this major tourist site HASTINGS MFG.

Yoder DOWLING - Mr. Ralph E. Yoder, 68, of 10152 Bird Rd., died Tuesday, Sept. 25, 19M, at Leila Hospital in Battle Creek. He was born Oct 28,1915 in Manchester, Okla., the son of Henry and Minnie (Purdue) Yoder. He came to Battle Creek in 1938 from Oklahoma and to his farm in Dowling in 1945. He was married to Fern L. Hawkins on June 3, 1942 in Battle Creek. He had been employed at Miller’s Flower Shop in Battle Creek. H. B. Sherman Co., and at Battle Creek Public Schools as an engineer. He retired in 1978 and continued working his farm. He was a member of the Barry County Farm Bureau and the National Rifle Association Mr. Yoder is survived by his wife, Fem; four daughters, Mary Keeley of Union City, Pa., Janet Eckeibecker of Hendersonville, Tenn., Rebecca Insalata of Battle Creek, and Barbara Esseltine of West Germany; two sons, Ralph, Jr. and Robert E., both of Battle Creek; ten grandchildren; three sisters, Ruth Yoder. Orpha McLoud, and Opal Yoder, all of Wichita, Kansas; and two brothers. Earl Yoder of Lake Isabella, Calif., and Phillip Yoder of Winlock, Wash. Funeral services will be held 1 p.m. Friday, Sept. 28, at First Wesleyan Church in Battle Creek, with the Rev. Robert L. Zuhl officiating. Burial will be in Vermontville Woodla .vn Cemetery. Arrangements are by Richard A. Henry Funeral Home in Battle Creek. Memorial contributions may be made to First Wesleyan Church Building Fund. haulers. "It’s been a long, uphill battle," said Steve Essling, public sanitarian for the BarryEaton Health Department "The whole idea was for (KAV-Co.) to upgrade the site, or get out of Dodge." Under the terms of Barry-Eaton Circuit Judge Hudson E. Deming's court order, arrived at Sept. 4, the landfill’s owners must start installing an impermeable clay cover over 80 acres by October 4. Also by that date, KAV-Co. must submit plans few installing special purge wells and monitor wells around the dump, under the terms of a lawsuit brought by the State of Michigan. Judge Deming did not order KAV-Co. to pay civil fines and penalties, nor to provide clean drinking water to the residents of the nearby Lake Doster subdivision, also asked for in the state s suit. Essling said the fines weren’t important and added that residents of the Lake Doster subdivision can still bring suit against KAVCo. if a definite hydrological link can be established between the dump and the residences. The state’s attorney general sued KAV-Co. in Barry Circuit Court in July over the firm’s alleged pollution of groundwater in the Lake Doster area. During a week of testimony, the state presented health and environmental experts who claimed a hydrological con­ nection between the groundwaters beneath the dump, and the waters under the homes. In his ruling, Judge Deming stated that the water supply downgradient of the landfill has been degraded by both organic and inorganic chemicals, and "That the source of this groundwater degradation is the KAV-Co. landfill." However, Deming did not impose civil fines and penalties on the landfill owners, stating that it would be "inequitable to im­ pose such a burden in addition to remedial measures", meaning the wells and the im­ permeable clay cover. Deming also noted that KAV-Co. did not deliberately pollute the groundwaters, a further reason for not imposing civil fines. “What we were allowed to bring into court was only the top of the iceberg," said Essling. "KAV-Co. never came up with a complete closure plan, no complete hydrological study. The number of monitoring wells was incomplete — they were just the tools. “If a complete hydro study had been done, then we could have established a link bet­ ween the landfill and the Lake Doster homes,” said Essling. “KAV-Co. never tried to assess the problems.” Bill Hinz, director of environmental health for the Allegan County Health Department, said his concern is if the contamination levels in Lake Doster wells rise. "Although there are a number of con­ taminants in the wells, none are at known health risk levels,” said Hinz. "Ou- main concern is learning if the present levels in­ crease, and for that we will need to monitor the residential wells in the subdivision.” Though Judge Deming ordered monitoring wells placed around the dump, he stopped short af ordering KAV-Co. to monitor private wells. Hinz said that his department will monitor the residential wells "from time to time", although he thinks that KAV-Co. should have been ordered to do it “I don’t think there is a lot of question where the contamination carne from," he said. “If the contamination levels increase after a while, then we will address the problem at that time,” said Hinz. Rae Hoare, Barry County commissioner from Prairieville, said she is pleased the landfill is closed, and ordered to clean up. ELECTRICIAN Journeyman electrician needed for an industrial firm. Applicant must be pre­ viously qualified. Salary commensurate with UAW contract. Complete fringe package with advancement opportunities. Send resume, or apply at the Personnel She said the most important part of the order is that the dump be capped. "If we can get a stable cover on, then we can at least slow down what is there," she said. "There are people who have lived around the site for years, who can reme. iber barrels being dumped and covered up. Nobody knows what was in those barrels.." She called the mysterious contaminants "liquid dynamite.” "Overall. we are pleased with the judge's decision. Basically, he did what we asked him, to stop the landfill,” said Hoare. Library to hold month-long sale The Hastings Public Library announced a gigantic, month-long sale of used books at the bargain rate of 25 cents per copy. The sale will be held during library hours in the basement rooms where the books will be shelved according to categories. As a result of the extensive weeding process which has been underway since early April, over 5 000 volumes have been withdrawn from the collection. In addition to the "former" library books, books donated to the library over the past 20 years, and never added to the collection, will be included. Many of the used books were sold at previous sales in May and in conjunction with the Friends of the Library sales in July and August. However, a considerable number remain. The profits from the sale will be used to purchase new books to replace the outdated or worn-out volumes being withdrawn. The sale will begin Monday, Sept. 24 for the Hastings and Barry County residents and will then be advertised as well in the four mctropclitan newspapers for the month of October.

Fate of Delton schools to be decided Monday rne tuture of the Delton-Kellogg School District appears to be at stake in this Mon­ day’s special election when voters will be asked for the third time in recent months to approve a 24.1-mill tax levy which amounts to a three-mill increase. The proposal was defeated by voters in June and August as a single ballot proposal, but this time two millage questions will be offered. One proposal requests 23.1-mills (a 21.1 renewal and2-mill increase) for general operating revenue. The other question asks for approval of an additional 1-mill increase to provide capital improvements such as building maintainance, new instructional equipment and leaching tools. Because proposals for operating millage have failed twice, time is running out to solve Delton Kellogg's financial woes, school of­ ficials say. The district cirrently has only eightallocated mills with which to operate and will run out of funds after the November 2 payroll and close its doors if Monday's millage is defeated, said Superintendent Dr. John W. Sanders. An auditor from the State Department of Education has confirmed Delton's financial plight, he said. Dr. David Donovan, a representative of the State Department of Education, recently told the board that the possibility also exists that the school district might have to be dissolved and annexed to one or more other neigh­ boring school districts if voters ultimately Tenant to be evicted by city The City of Hastings has served an eviction notice on a woman and her two chilcken after the Barry-Eaton Health Department has condemned their home as being "unfit-far human habitation."

Ballot proposals to be discussed Michigan’s three ballot proposals will be the chief topic during the monthly legislative breakfast, to be held Monday, Oct 8, at the McDonalds restaurant. On hand will be State Rep. Robert Bender, R-Middleville, and State Sen. Robert Welborn, R-Kalamazoo, or Welborn’s legislative aid, Roger Klein.

Before the Hostings Area Community Fund kick-off breakfast was finished yesterday the thermometer on the new Community Fund Timepiece was already moving up towards the goal of $116,326. (From left) Community Fund Board Pres­ ident Stephen Loftus, Drive Co-choirman Harold Lewis, and Jerry Stevens of United Way of Michigan move the thermometer to 10 percent, reflecting pledges from the school employees and Dept, of Social Services employees.

Johnston Focusing on the theme, “Putting it all together for a better community," the largest group of volunteers in recent memory turned out at Leason Sharpe Memorial Hall, Wednesday morning, for the annual Kickoff Breakfast of the Hastings Area Community Fund's United Way campaign. The campaign has set a goal of $116,326. The breakfast centered on a slide program detailing the contributions of the 11 local agencies to the community and the work of the 24 United Way of Michigan agencies. The slide program, put together by Lansing and Meredith Gilbert and Doris Deming, featured photographs of the activities con­ ducted by the agencies and a narration ex­ plaining the agencies' work. “During the last hour we have seen talents of youth and adults that have been cultivated through positive experiences," Campaign Chairman Norine Jacobs said following the slide program. “Isn't that what all of us want ~ a quality life for ourselves and our families." She told the volunteers that it takes every member of the community to lend a hand in operating and supporting the community fund agencies. She said that volunteers must make an effort for everyone to have an op­ portunity to contribute their fair share to the United Way. Earlier she had told the audience that the campaign steering committee is excited to be associated with hardworking agencies that “serve Hastings area residents with smoothly run programs and services." "We know you are glad to do all you can to see the same high level of quality main­ tained," she continued. The 1984 drive kicked off with a strong start when Gerald Pattock, representing the personnel in the Hastings schools, presented a check for more than $9,000 and projected total donations and pledges over $11,000. His presentation was followed by Judy Cooper of the Department of Social Services who presented a check for $1,128 from employees in that office. Harold Lewis, co-chairman of the cam­ paign. introduced the representatives of the United Fund agencies: David Storms, YMCA-Youth Council; Sharon Varney. Camp Fire, Inc.; Denis and Calinda Munson, Red Cross; Pat Elliot and Charlene Swank, Girl Scouts; Ron Tollerued, Salvation Army; John Kroupa, Boy Scouts; Connie Witzel, 4H; Jerry Stevens, United Way of Michigan; Eloise Wolf, Commission on Aging; and Bruce Bennett, Family and Children's Services. Introduced as division chairpersons were Jim Veldman. commercial and retail ser­ vices; Duane Bower, corporate and special gifts; Jan Mullett, industrial; Judge Richard Loughrin, professional; Wade Nitz, public agencies; Patty Jacobs, residential; Michael Smith, retail; and Jerry Pattok, who represented chairman LaVerne BeBeau, schools.

(See Tuesday's Reminder for details of a possible school closing and an­ nexation). Sanders said he thinks annexation would be a "significant problem for our com­ munity" because it would lose its identity. Ina letter toSanders, Stale Superintendent of Public Instruction Phillip E. Runkel noted that Monday's election is of critical im­ portance to both the children and the Delton community. “From the young people's point of view, they have only one opportunity to acquire a good educat ion... It is not just the young people who benefit from quality schools, the community benefits from its investment in education as well. Properly values are more stable in communities with good schools. Also, the community's future economy, service organizations and civic leaders will reflect the quality of education the young people receive." said Runkel. . Sanders said it is necessary to have the two-additional mills besides the renewal to compensate for a loss of more than $350,000 in state aid due to an enrollment drop of 150-students during the last year and to improve educational of­ ferings to keep students competitive with a changing society. . Because of the loss of those pupils, he said, "we've dropped 54-staff positions" but gained “increased costs in our whole operation." The 23.1 mills for operations, minus the 54 positions, "can give us a balanced budget to do the kinds of things we want to do. We do want to bring in new equipment and we do want ’o provide a counselor in career education and those things are a part of that so it’s not just a balance to keep things even. Each additional mill would generate in the neighborhood of $120,000 dollars for the school district. Besides additional counseling, Sanders said the recent citizen's forum which analyzed school needs pointed out that computers (for the elementary and high school grades) should be obtained and new industrial education equipment and typewriters should be purchased to replace worn-out equipment. "We're going to try to speak to that with this millage so we aren’t just asking to keep the doors open, but we are asking for millage that will help us to grow and improve our situation. We’d like to be competitive with our neighboring schools and at this point it’s pretty difficult to do that. If the millage is approved, plans also call for new updated social studies and science textbooks for grades 1-6. With the 1-additional mill for capital im­ provements, a new roof to replace the leaky one on the lower elementary building is the most urgent need, Sanders said. The 30-yearold roof on the middleschool also is in need of major repair. Other needs include a bus Continued on Pogo 3 KAV-Co won’t meet deadline by Ken Relbel The attorney for KAV-Co. said the com­ pany does not have the funds to comply with a court-ordered Oct. 4 clean-up date of its Prairieville landfill site. "I really don't know what we are going to do at this point. I know the company does not have the million or so dollars to do (clean up),'* said Richard Quist, a Grand Rapids attorney who represent the Kalamazoo­ based consortium of refuse hauler. Under the terms of Barry-Eaton Circuit Judge Hudson E. Deming's court order, arrived at Sept. 4, the landfill's owners must start installing an impermeable clay cover over BO acres by October 4. Also by that date, KAV-Co. must submit plans for installing special purge wells and monitor wells, under the terms of a lawsuit brought by the State of Michigan. Quist has said in the past that the com­ pany's engineers are unable to draw up well specifications in so short a time, and hinted that he may bring a motion before Judge Deming to buy more time. However, Quist told the Banner Wed­ nesday that he "doesn’t know” what KAVCo.'s next move will be. Assistant Attorney General Tom Emery said that KAV-Co. could be held in contempt of court if it does not comply with Judge Deming’s order for an Oct. 4 clean-up, ad­ ding "We will have to look at it fairly quickly.” When asked if the state may absorb clean­ up costs, Emery answered “We don't think the State of Michigan should or will foot the bill for KAV-Co.'s improper conduct..! don't think KAV-Co. should feel they are not out of the woods yet.” Emery said there is "a split of authority" on whether a company can be relieved of its “environmental duties" through bankrupt­ cy. He cited a case scheduled to be heard by the U.S. Supreme Court Oct. 10, Ohio v. Kovacs, dealing with a 6th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals ruling that a company's duties to clean up a landfill can be discharged through bankruptcy. “Bankruptcy is a problem we may see more and more of in the landfill area,” said Kevin Smith, another assistant attorney general. "Treating problem landfills is expensive.” Smith said his office is also keeping an eye on another case involving landfills and bankruptcy, PennTerra v. The Com­ monwealth of Pennsylvania, in which the 3rd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals reached a conclusion opposite to 6th Circuit’s. "The 3rd Circuit said that actions against a landfill to force clean up are not dischargabie under bankruptcy,” said Smith. “The court tries to distinguish itself from 6th Circuit, but in reality there is very little distinction between the two cases...Basically, the 3rd Circuit has reached the opposite conclusion of the 6th Circuit" The state's attorney general sued KAV-Co. in Barry Circuit Court in July over the firm's alleged pollution of groundwater in the Lake Doster area. During a week of testimony, the state presented health and environmental experts who claimed a hydrological con­ nection between the groundwaters beneath the dump, and the waters under the homes. In his ruling, Judge Deming stated that the water supply downgradient of the landfill has been degraded by both organic and inorganic chemicals, and "That the source of this groundwater degradation is the KAV-Co. landfill." However, Deming did not impose civil fines and penalties w the landfill owne.-, stating that it would be "inequitable to im­ pose such a burden in addition to remedial measures”, meaning the wells and the im­ permeable clay cover. Deming also noted that KAV-Co. did not deliberately pollute the groundwaters, a further reason for not imposing civil fines.

United Way: Working for a better community In the midst of hundreds of words spoken at vesterday’s Community Fund kickoff breakfast about the good work done by the 11 local agencies and 24 Michigan United Way agencies, about the hard work of the volunteers and the need to ask for pledges to reach the 1116,326 goal, one phrasr stood out among the others as the central focus of United Way. _ t Surprisingly, it wasn't the theme of this year's campaign — “Put­ ting it all together...for a better community.’’ Instead it was an af­ terthought tacked on by Campaign Chairman Norine Jacobs, “Isn't that what all of us want — a quality life for ourselves and our families.” Hastings has had a reputation for many years as a town that gives strong support to United Way campaigns. The Hastings Area Com­ munity Fund board has always set the goal high and has nearly always seen that goal reached by dedicated volunteers who fan out through the community and ask for pledges. The Community Fund campaign works year after year because the people of the Hastings area do want a quality life for themselves and their families. Most of the people who live here do so because they enjoy the quality of life in a small town, the close-knit family-oriented social life and the environment and education provided by our schools. Support for the United Way is an extension of that quality of life. Most of the local United Way agencies are youth oriented, others serve the elderly, people in crises, or offer a broad range of services to the community. In the next few weeks United Way volunteers will be seeking you out to ask for a pledge. Your decision to pledge and the amount you pledge should be based on the quality of life you want to see for yourself and your family. Importance of Delton athletics stressed Letter lo the Editor: This letter is written in response to the quote attributed to Gertrude Springer in Thursday's Kalamazoo Gazette relative lo the Delton Kellogg Schools priorities i.e. “It’s nothing but a sports arena and there should be more emphasis on academics." First of all if she were lo look at local or national statistics, she would would discover that athletes have higher grade point average than their peers. In fact, if she would have talked to our coaches or lo the parents nf our athletes, show would find that all of them support and place emphasis on the importance of academics. Secondly, she raises the question of the "sports arena" and ’ am proud to point out that since 1977 the Delton Kellogg Athletic Boosters have contributed over $300,000 toward improving facilities and purchasing equipment. This money has been raised by grandparents, parents, staff and friends through fundraisers, bingo, concessions, sub­ sandwich sales, auction and thousands of hours of volunteer time because we recognize the importance to accent our academic program for our community's most valuable resource - our kids! This also, was done without using tax money If she haa read the extensive list of academic awards and athletic awards of 1983-84, she would have seen bow each one compliments the other. Most of the senior citizens I have talked to. and the ones who have volunteered many, many hours of service, recognize how important athletics is to academics. Glen T.

To the Editor: I see where one of the Delton Kellogg "25" year teachers resents someone from Detroit tel'ing him that he is “making too much money”. Well, how about someone from Delton doing a little figuring’ That's OK' isn't it? Now let’s see. A 25-year teacher at Delton Kellogg with a B.A. degree gels $26,790, plus an additional three percent of the maximum at 15 years, plus three percent of that at 20 years, plus three percent of that at 25 years. That comes to $29,274. A teacher with a B.A., plus 30 hours of college gets an additional $400 in salary for a total of $29,675. A teacher at Delton Kellogg teaches 180 davs a year. $29,675 divided by 180 comes out toa fay of $164.86 per day. Not too bad. When that is coupled with $1,484 in school paid retirement, hospitalizations, dental, vision and other school paid benefits, it seems that the teachers total take from Delton Kellogg School is easily in excess of $32,000 for 180 days on the job. Not bad al all. There are a lot of Delton Kellogg residents who wish they were paid $32,000 or more in cash and benefits for 180 days at work. Particularly those who work in shops, are out of work, or are trying to get by on social security. Many of us believe that, if Delton Kellogg School were being operated for the kids in­ stead of administrators and teachers, things would be a lot better. There are eight ad­ ministrators doing the job today that used to be done by five - and for the same number of kids. I intend lo vote "no" on the millage until the people are given a choice and more of a say in school affairs. When the two extra mills (19.1, plus 2.0 > approved in 1982 went for staff raises that was it as far as I'm concerned. Now that millage (19.1, plus 2.0) shows up as a 21.1 renewal, plus 2.0 ad­ ditional mills, plus an extra 1.0 mill for the "buildings” (just 1 ike in 1982). Now, let’s see, 24.1 mills divided by 21.1 - that’s a 14.2 per­ cent increase in 1984 over 1983, and 24.1 mills divided by 19.1 mills - that’s a 26.2 percent increase in 1984 over 1982. That is too much. Talk about inflation. Ask tlie staff and board of education at school. They really know how to do inflation right! Maybe a "no" vote on Oct. 8. will help bring Delton Kellogg School back down to earth where the rest of us have to live. J-Ad Graphics, Inc.

If any of these policies are now in effect then I offer my apologies for listing them. The public schools have been under a great deal of criticism recently and certainly some of it is justified. There are other groups, however, including Little League organizers, who have a strong influence on the lives and development of our young people. It is their responsibility to accept criticism and look for ways to improve their programs. There will always be more to sport­ smanship than slapping an opponents' hand after a game.

A breakdown of this year’s official enrollment pegs 899-students at the elementary level; 446 in the middle school; and 596 in high school and the alternative education program. Last year’s enrollment included 81; in elementary grades, 475 in middle school, and 594 in high school and alternative education The current kindergarten enrollment of 199-students is the largest in the district's history. Hastings Jr. High to collect money for Community Fund Honor Society students support millage hike To the Editor: As the seven senior members of the Delton Kellogg High School National Honor Society, we represent 1,900 students who cannot vote on Oct. 8. But is it not our futures that will be decided? We feel we can no longer afford to sit back and listen to our so-called "peers” criticized school system to which they do not belong. We hear that our teachers are un­ derqualified and overpaid. To this we ask, "Who says?" Teachers are certified professionals with at lest four years of college education. During the last twelve years, we have worked with these professionals and formed what we feel to be a winning team. We feel we are fortunate to have such individuals behind us to give us an advantage as we enter the competitive world. Your vote is our tomorrow. Please give the youngsters of oix communiy the chance to ________________________ continue an education of which they can be proud and from which they can compete with —•—*from ---------other •*-- schools. .......................... the graduates A defeat- of the millage on Oct. 8 does not merely mean the doors of our school will be closed to us, but the doors to our futures as well. We understand you don’t like to pay more taxes, but then do you like to pay more for your groceries, or clothing or anything else? Textbooks, utilities, transportation, and all facets of educational costs have increased, and it is unrealistic to thiffic taxes should not be more. We feel the cuts made in recent years have been sufficient, but to ask for more would have a detrimental effect on our educations. If you have unanswered questions con­ cerning the Delton Kellogg School System, we urge you to attend the school board meetings or plan to visit schools. A "no" vote will not solve problems, it will create more. We can show you 1,900 living reasons to vote "yes".

Little League football sportsmanship criticized f To the Editor: I was very disgusted and at the same time quite concerned after reading the results of one of our local Little League football games. It was a game at the seventh and eighth grade level. One of the Hastings teams defeated Lake Odessa 68-8. The article mentioned that an individual on the Hastings team had made six long touchdown runs and amassed more than 400 yards rushing. My first reaction was to the score. I 'm sure there were no friends made with the people from Lake Odessa. There are always bad feelings connected with scores of this kind. I’m certain the kids from Lake Odessa were very discouraged besides. Football is one game where the score can be held down without asking your players lo hold back. It can lx? accomplished through substitutions and by changing the positions of key players. 1 also have to wonder why one boy would be offered. The fund drive last year enabled junior high students to donate $3200 to the Hastings Area Community Fund. The seventh and eighth graders hope to equal or exceed last year’s donation.

She noted that the contrast between the colorful leaves and the blue sky and blue water makes it a very scenic spot and one that personifies undisturbed nature. �The Hostings Banner— Thursday, October 4. 1984, Page 3 Convicted rapist sentenced for 15-to-20 yrs waived arraignment on two charges ot breaking and entering of an occupied dwelling. His pre-trial or. those charges is set for Oct. 26. Lake is charged with the break-in last winter of the Orville Babcock residence, 7490 S. Bedford Rd., and the burglary last winter of the Virgil Hine residence, 4142 Center Rd. David Eugene Jeffery, Jr., 18, 228 N. Church St., was remanded back to Barry District Court to stand preliminary exam to a charge of breaking and entering of an occupied dwelling, in connection with the burglary of a home on E. State Road last July. Convicted felon George Scobey is shown here after his sentencing. Behind him is Sheriff Deputy Frank Misak. A Barry-Eaton Circuit Court judge sen­ tenced a Hastings man Friday 15 to 25 years in prison for having sexual relations with a 13-year-old girl. George W. Scobey, 45, 434 E. Walnut, was found guilty of first degree criminal sexual conduct on August 28, following a jury trial in Barry Circuit Court The crime is punishable by up to life in prison. "We have here a situation in which you have been found guilty of first degree criminal sexual conduct," Judge Richard M. Shuster told Scobey, prior to sentencing. "This is a terrible, rotten thing for a child to experience...which will effect her entire life. So what is the proper sentence? Indeed, castration might be fitting, but the law does not permit this." said Shuster. Shuster said he based the length of the sentence on the “court's concern for the rehabilitation of the victim", and the need to keep Scobey behind bars until the victim "is sufficiently mature enough not to L coerced by any improper influence (from Scobey)." Shuster said his sentence fell within the Michigan Supreme Court sentencing guidelines, which call for a minimum of 10 to 20 years in prison. The judge credited Scobey for 36 days already spent in the Barry County Jail. In other court proceedings: William E. Harrington, 23, 2070 N. Broadway, pleaded guilty to fourth degree criminal sexual conduct, in connection with an assault on a minor child in a downtown discount store, which occurred Sept. 15. Sentencing for Harrington is set for Oct. 26. The crime is punishable by up to two years in prison, and-or a-fine of $500. A waiver of arraignment was filed for Bert Miner. 42, Battle Creek, on a charge of breaking and entering of a building. Miner is one of three men arrested for the July 22 burglary of the Summit Steel Corp, warehouse on Railroad Street. Judge Shuster se' Oct. 26 as the date for his pre-trial. Miner will also be arraigned on charges of being an habitual offender. Prosecutors say he has nine previoiB felony convictions. Milo Eugene Lake, 19, Battle Creek, A Jan. 14, 1985 jury trial is set for Wilson Benjamin Gratham, 33, 826 N. Michigan Ave., on a charge of delivery-manufacture of a controlled substance. Call required now for absent students School officials are changing the procedures for how an elementary student is excused for being absent. Hastings school officials sent home notes to parents of those school children, requesting that parents call the school if a child is io be absent for any reason. "We are asking parents to call us on the morning of the absence so that we can better monitor attendance and keep track of where kids are," explained Superintendent Carl A. Schoessel. Schoessel said that the call-in procedure is used routinely in other districts. "We talked about it (the charge) last year and decided to shift into this program after school got started," Schoessel said. Schoessel said that, other than attendance, the media attention that has been given to child abductions was also a factor. He said there was an incident in Hastings last year where some elementary school children did not report to school, did not return home on time and were not found until evening. “It was very scary," he said. Dave Arnold, Central Elementary School principal, said that parents are being asked to call the school between 8-9 a.m. on the day of the absence. Arnold said that there are just over 500 kids enrolled at Central and that absences on an average day run about four percent. "We are looking at different ways to cover the calls," he said, "possibly an answering machine. We are lookng at ways to make it more convenient for the parents." Arnold said that if the school does not receive a call concerning a child's absence, the school will call to check on the whereabouts of the child. He said that on Monday morning, the first day of the new procedure, things went "very smoothly”. Parents who have not already done so should register their home, work and an emergency number with the school. If your child is going to be absent from school, call one of the following numbers: Central Elementary School, 945-3478; North­ western Elementary School, 945-9533; Pleasantview Elementary School, 1-758-3361 (Lacey); Southeastern Elementary School, 945-9531.

Mr. Bauer was a thin, generauun attorney, his family having been in the profession for nearly 120 years. Charles H. Bauer, grandfather of Richard, was admitted to the bar in New York state in 1865 and later was admitted to the Michigan bar on April 27, 1869. The first Bauer practiced law for years and was elected prosecuting attorney on the Prohibition Ticket in 1874. His son, William G. Bauer, was bom in Hastings that same year (in 1874). He graduated from the University of Michigan in 1895 and afterward was engaged in teaching, school administration, and business until he studied law under the sponsorship of his father. He was admitted to the bar in 1922 and six years later, in 1928, was elected prosecuting attorney. He practiced law until his death in 1955 at the age of 80 years. Richard Bauer continued that tradition. He attended the University of Michigan where he earned two degrees, and th?n served in the military and taught. Mr. Bauer later attended the Detroit College of Law, graduating in 1949. He returned to Hastings where he practiced law with his father. In 1964 he was elected as prosecuting at­ torney, one of the first to be elected on the Democratic ticket in Barry County since the Depression years. Memorial contributions can be made to the American Cancer Society. his client client was was under under constant constant doctor's doctor's care, his and was dependent on prescribed medicine. "Hopefully Mr. Carpenter can withdraw from these drugs so he won’t be dependent on them in jail." said Lincoln. But Judge Shuster said he was "concerned with protecting society from the defendant’s future conduct," and assured Carpenter his medical needs would be taken care of in jail. "You will have to work with a dedication to straighten your life out." said Shuster. "If this happens to you again, you will be charged more seriously." Gratham was was arrested arrested in in June June following following a a Gratham drug raid on his home by Hastings City Police. The felony charge of delivery or manufacture of a controlled substance is punishable by up to four years in prison andor a fine of not more than $2,000. Confiscated in the raid were several bags of marijuana, worth about $700, and about one pound of marijuana seeds and smoking paraphenalia, said police. Randy K. Carpenter, 20, Donna Drive. Lake Odessa, was sentenced to one year in jail and five years probation for fourth degree criminal sexual conduct. In addition, Carpenter was also ordered to serve 200 of community service, to undergo mental health counseling, and to avoid contact with all minors unless an adult is present. Carpenter's attorney.

Delton millage, replacement plan, computers for the high school and elementary school plus shop equipment and new typewriters for business education classes. “That one-mill cannot be used for anything except what is specified...It cannot be used for salaries, nor heat, etc.” On the subject of teachers salaries which some citizens have criticized, Sanders said. Delton teachers received a two-percent pay increase (which he called “extremely low compared to other school districts”) in the 1983-84 school year and a five-percent for 8485. "We feel that we provided a 31?-percent increase average over the two years (of the continued contract). I think that's very good in terms of our teachers holding the salary line. Sanders said Delton's millage rate (if approved) and its budget rank favorably with neighboring school districts. Delton has a $4.9 million budget. 1,850 students and a total of 35.77 mills < counting debt retirement, extra-voted, and county allocated) if Mon­ day's election is a success. The Gull Lake district, for instance, has a $6.86 million budget. 2,416 students and 37.33 mills; Hastings has a $8.37 million budget for its 3,512 students and 31.786 mills; Plainwell has a $6.45 million budget. 2,402 students and 35.695 mills.

Tht bl-crntennia! celebration, planned by four United Methodist churches for last weekend, was moved from Lake wood High School to Lake Odessa Central Methodist Church late in the week because of lower than expected ticket sales The dinner was held in the church dining room at 6 o’clock. Doug Lawson, who was chairman of the committee that planned the affair, acted as host. Rev. Meredith of Central Methodist asked a blessing, and the meal was served by members of Zion Lutheran Church. It had been prepared by members of Hope Church of the Brethren under the leadership oi Frank Townsend, and it was a delicious meal of English and German dishes. English-style roast beef and pork with Yorkshire pudding Phone... and German-style red cabbage were served with mashed potatoes, gravy, salad and dessert. There were approximately 200 people at the dinner. After dinner there was a program in the sanctuary of the church. Doug Lawson led a brass choir which had 13 players, the Central Methodist Church choir sang “That Old Time Religion”, and there was some congregational singing with the brass choir. Mr. Lawson introduced Tanya Griffith, who wore a costume of 18th century England and did a 50-minute monologue as Susannah Wesley, the mother of John and Charles Wesley, early leaders of the Methodist Church. The monologue was engrossing, entertaining, and i nspiring Mrs. Griffith told Mr and Mrs. Les Yonkers, when they met her at the Lansing Airport and brought her to the Lake Odessa church, that she does monologues of 105 different persons. She was going to do Susannah Wesley two more times during the weekend. After Mrs. Griffith's performance, there was more brass choir music, a number by the men’s chorus of Central Methodist and Carol Reiser, and a collection was taken for Mrs. Griffith s expenses. A benediction was given and people could stay and look over the relics that had been collected and put on display in the church. They included a pair of very long-handled, hand-carved wooden collection plates from the old Brethren Church that is now Lakewood Methodist on Highway 50 between Woodbury and Lake Odessa. These plates were used to lake the collection at the program fcr Mrs. Griffith's expenses so that everyone could see them. This was a very well-planned celebration, dinner and program. All the music was great and Mrs. Griffith’s performance was in­ teresting. The committee for this event — Doug Lawson. Virginia Yonkers. Marge Rairigh, and Mr. Deland — are to be congratulated for an excellent evening. heritage. Reared in India, he felt at an early age that “this was a valuable experience that would be wasted if I pursued anything but missionary service.” Consequently, he studied at Vennard College receiving a B.A. degree in tl tology in preparation for mission work.

Their common backgrounds and goals brought Larry and Linda together, and in 1977 they were married. Now, the Reinhardts and their two children, Tiana and Stephen, are looking forward to their first term in India where Larry will assume the responsibilities of maintenance and building at South India Biblical Seminary.

Karen Hosey A steaming bowl of tasty chili has become a traditional part of the fall and winter menu and many cooks seem to enjoy creating their own brews which range from the hot jalepeno varieties to milder but fiavorful concoctions. Karen Hosey, a young mother of twin sons, has created an original chili recipe that captured a trophy at Nashville’s recent second annual Harvest Festival Chili Con­ test. Karen's chili war judged as the number one best tasting chill among the eight that were entered in the contest. Her entry was judged the best overall because of its flavor, consistency and originality, said Ruth Hughes, who served as chairman of the event. Karen said her husband, Melvin, en­ couraged her to enter the contest because he thinks her chili is delicious. She said she never dreamed she would be selected as the winner “We just sat it (the pot of chili) down and went walking around the festival. When we came back, there was a trophy sitting by it," said 21-year-old Karen. Even then, she wasn’t sure that she had won until she saw her name on the back of a blue ribbon that was attached to the trophy. Karen and her family, which includes three-year-old twins Matthew Paul and Eric James, reside on Sherman St, in Nashville. She says she enjoys housekeeping and that creating arts and crafts is a favorite hobby. She often attends arts and crafts shows to get new ideas for things to make. And for Karen, cooking and creating new recipes rank high on her list of iavorite ac­ tivities. Karen Hosey cooks up a batch of her prize-winning chili.

Michigan A TIO N A L ANK of Not too long ago. antique enthusiasts sought old iron stoves for purely decorative purposes — to lend at­ mosphere to the den or family room. How quickly things change! Today, under the pressure of high heating costs, clever collectors are investigating means of modernizing old stoves and more efficient methods of burning wood. The first stove reportedly was made in France around 1490. with others said to have been cast in Germany before 1510. However, the first stove in popular use in North America was developed around 1735. Known as the "jamb” stove, it wasn't much more than a castiron box built into the side of the kitchen fireplace. In the early 1740s, Benjamin Franklin introduced his well-known “Penn­ sylvania Fireplace", which bore little resemblance to his modern namesake, the contemporary reproduction Franklin stove. His first successful model was an open cast-iron frame which jutted out from the chimney and emitted heat into the room from tnree sides rather than just one side as with a fireplace. By enclosing the framework and adding legs to hold the body off the floor and a door for feeding fuel to the flame. Franklin found that his stove could be placed anywhere in the room — as long as the smoke was piped off to the chimney, of course. Nonetheless, some early North Americans continued to use the stove fireplace-style, with one side built into the wall. Often, this side was the door side, which meant that the stove tender had to go outdoors in order to add more fuel! Although the stove could now be located anywhere in the house, it continued to be used primarily in the kitchen, because that was the main room of social activity. Eventually it was modified to incorporate plates for heating kettles and pans and, later, an oven for baking, so that the stove was no longer used just to warm the room but for the dual purpose of heating and cooking. Other variations were developed as well, including the bedroom heater and the parlor stove. The parlor stove, which was con­ sidered somewhat of a status symbol, sacrificed efficiency for beauty, with lots of "gingerbread” for decoration. There were also van heaters for use on trains, with special door locks to prevent spillage in derailments, and even brooder stoves for warming newborn chicks. Early iron-casters were artists in their own right, and their stoves — which were, after all, important pieces of furniture in the home of the period, were often very ornate. The front of an early Franklin stove pictured the sun as a human face with 16 rays, surrounded by intertwining branches and the phrase "Aller Idem" (another like me). Other stoves featured eagles, stars, sheaves of wheat or scrolls. Religious motifs also were common. With the advent of the cooking stove in about 1760, the use of decoration began to decline. Innumerable stove manufacturers and line names existed throughout North America during the last century. Corner of Mich, t Cwntwi in Hastings Call for your introductory special!

The Stanley line of New England was well-known for heating, as was the James for cooking. Others had such interesting names as the Andes, the Tamale and the Splendid. Today the stove industry is again growing, with more and more manufacturers getting into the act. Most modern users acquire iron stoves to supplement their regular heating systems, realizing that stoves are generally more efficient than fireplaces. While a fireplace puts only about 10 percent of the heal it produces into the house (the rest going up the chimney), a stove offers from 17 per­ cent to as much as 65 percent ef­ ficiency. Old stoves and their more modern replicas can be equally efficient or inefficient, the variable factors being the qualities of materials used and of construction. The best variety is the "closed" or "airtight” kind, in which all parts are well sealed and the fire box is as air­ tight as possible. This type allows for control of the amount of heat produced. Even heat may be maintained throughout the day by feeding it a piece of wood five inches in diameter every three hours. On this basis, its con­ sumption would amount to an average of two-and-one-half cords of wood per year. Oversized stoves should be avoided. Burning a small fire in one is inef­ ficient, while a full fire probably would make an average sized room too hot. Stoves and heaters manufactured up to the turn of the century usually were cast from wooden prototypes made by the iron worker. The metal used might be grey, black or malleable, with the malleable iron being the most durable. Thick walls and rivited parts also in­ dicate durability. Stoves made of sheet iron and those with welded joints should be avoided. They are unable to freely expand and contract with the changing heat variations and will eventually crack from duress. Precisely because of this unbending quality, sheet iron was used in the manufacture of the first regulator stoves. These featured fire dampers which automatically opened and closed according to differences in the ex­ pansion of a brass rod and the stable sheet iron stove body. Persons trying to decide between an authentic antique stove and a recent reproduction might want to consider the element of convenience. Most an­ tique heaters and stoves were designed to use coal and have small loading doors and fire boxes that can be a nuisance. W'hile the design doesn't preclude the use of wood, it does require that the wood be cut to relatively short lengths, whereas most wood stoves accept lengths of 12 inches or more. A stone intended for burning coal has a shaker grate for shaking down the “clinker” (the incombustible residue left by coal) and is usually much heavier than its wood-burning counterpart If a person still wants a stove to be primarily decorative, then it need not meet all these criteria. Function should not be ruled out, however, as later on, one may decide that the high cost of heating mandates fuel economy in the pocketbook! �The Hastings Banner — Thursday, October 4, 1984, Page 7 MRD INDUSTRIES General b Industrial Repair b Fabrications EM.

Doted ot Lansing, Michigan, this 27th day of September 1984. Paul E. Kindinger Director of Agriculture By Michael R. Gregg Deputy Director In Charge of Drains (Inter-County) (10-4) 2 buildings now historic sites in store prior to 1900 The Robert I. Hendershot Block and the adjacent Archie McCoy Block have both been listed on the State Register of Historic Places. Two adjacent buildings in downtown Hastings were recently listed in the Slate Register of Historic Places by the Michigan Historical Commission. Listed were the Robert I. Hendershott Block and the Archie McCoy Block. The Hendershott Block now houses the Hendershott Plaza and WBCH AM-FM, while the McCoy Block houses Riverbottom. Both are located on the north side of State Street. In order for bui I di ngs to be accepted on the State Register of Historic Sites they must have "architectural and historical significance". Back issues of The Hastings Banner were used to help supply some background on the buildings, showing that "historical significance”. Below is The Banner's accounts of when the buildings were built. 1-17-1906 R.L Hendershott dosing Hard­ ware store. "My fixtures will be offered for sale and my store for rent ” 5- 9-1906 Archie McCoy last week closed in a deal with the Young estate for the business lot just west of Chidester and Burton’s store. It is fair to presume that you will see a nice store right at that point in the not too distant future. 6- 13-1906 R.L Hendershott is getting ready to put up some store on his lots on State Street. 8-14-.19O6 R.l. Hendershott has let the contract to E.J. Manning of Kalamazoo to build his new double store on our main street. The building will be 45x100, two stories high with good basement and thoroughly modern. 8-22-1906 Active operations commenced last week on the two stores 45x100 which R.L Hendershott will build on State Street. These stores will be an ornament to our principle business street. Work is being pushed very rapidly. 8-29-1906 Will Build New Store - Several months ago Archie McCoy purchased the lot just west of Chidester and Burton's store on which at present stands the one story frame building occupied by F.C. Brooks tin shop. Geo. Newton, jewelry, and T. Philips deafer in sewing machines. The lot is the widest single lot in the city being 26 feet wide and 100 long. Monday Mr. McCoy let the contract for building his new store wmen win be devoted to his furniture business. The building will be 28x100 feet deep, two stories high beside a fine basement under the entire building. The basement having a special stone floor and will be used for storage. The building will have a pressed brick front with large plate glass windows in both first and second stories. Above the first story windows will be ornamental prism glass. His new store will be up to date in every respect. Mr. McCoy's building will adjoin R.I. Hendershott's new double building now in progress of con­ struction and together will make a very decided improvement on the north side of the street. 1-09-1907 W5. Godfry, the clothing and shoe merchant of Lowell, will open his store Feb. I. He has rented one of R.l. Hen­ dershott's new store buildings for a term ol five years and evidently intends to make Hastings his permanent home. 1-23-1907 Ad: New Store New Goods - Q.A. Hynes City Drug Store in new Hendershott Block "We carry a nice line of paint and wallpaper." 1-30-1907 W.S. Godfry has moved to this city from Lowel) and has established himself in the same business as he was engaged in that village, shoe and clothing. He has one of the fine new Hendershott stores, and will be open for business next Saturday... We are glad to welcome Mr. Godfry to our city. 3-21-1907 Archie McCoy will move Fur­ niture Stock - Next week Archie McCoy will move into his new store just west of Chidester's clothing store. The new McCoy store is a model. We doubt its superior can be found in Michigan or any other state in a city of this size. Externally as well as internally the store is a gem. All who know Mr. McCoy will understand that he would insist on having every detail of the store as nearly right as possible. He has certainly a model. To begin with his store is four feet wider than the average which makes it very convenient for displaying furniture. The outside is of pressed brick with a beautiful plate glass front. The store proper is a beautiful room, with handsome steel ceiling, well lighted. Upstairs is its duplicate in beauty and finish. The basement is as fine as an ordinary store. An elevator run by electric or waler motor will connect the three floors. to 1900 R.l. Hendershott in his hardware building, again prior to 1900 Dick Groos gives an update on the ‘Carter Snake From Dick Groos: 1 very much enjoyed your rehash of the Carter Snake story in The Banner some weeks ago, but you should be aware that these things can often have surprising repercussions. The last revival of the Carter Snake story I recall occurred in late summer or early fall of 1955. Shortly thereafter the enclosed picture and article (below) ap­ peared in The Banner with the result that my father became an overnight sensation albeit for a very short length of time. His telephone rang off the hook for days with all kinds of messages ranging from laughter at the fur.ny joke to those who truly believed he had performed a heroic deed. The truth of the matter was that the local Thanks to you... it works... for ALL OF US Public Notice Th© Annual Local Unit Fiscal Report for the Village of Woodland has been filed with the State Treasurer. This report is available for review upon request at the Village Treasurer’s Office at 129 W. Broadway. Woodland. Michigan by appointment only. Nancy Stowell, Treasurer Village of Woodland Chevrolet dealer, a very large fellow by the name of Bill Baldwin, was a sametime actor and in many ways not unlike Lawrence Barnett. Baldwin fashioned the snake out of an exhaust hose with a paper bag lied on as a head He then decided that he needed the world's most implausible hunter anc selected my father. No one said anything about it and the whole performance broke like a fire storm over the unsuspecting city. Because of the subliminal message left by the previous Banner article, virtually the entire citizenry reacted to some degree. A surprising number didn't think it was funny at all staling that they either had seen the snake themselves, or more often they had been told of it by an obviously reputable source. Bill Baldwin apparently profited enor­ mously as streams of gawkers passed through his car dealership. Some people thought he had played fast and loose with the truth, but after all this was in the days before “paid political announcement*'. Anyway, it was a lot of fun and one can only wonder what mischief you might have stirred up. Carter Snake Destroyed Richard Groos. 301 S. Park St., Hastings, added another page to the history* of Barry County by killing the famous "Carter Snake" Contradicting all previous reports, the snake was 21 ft, 6 in. long, 14 in. in diameter, and weighed approximately 232 lbs. Groos reported that he was out hunting on the edge of Carter Lake when he heard a tremendous rustling in the underbrush, and a moment later a monstrous head appeared. More out of fear than daring. Groos opened fire, and emptied his entire clip into the monster's head. After a few thundering twists, the monster fell dead. Thus ending one of the most famous and controversial local legends of the past century. After killing the gargantuan beast, Groos went to the road, hailed down Don Fisher, a Hastings electrician, who was driving by and the two of them loaded the trophy onto the car and took it to the Chevrolet garage in Hastings where it was to be examined by three government zoologists. Jaycees seeking names of top families The Hastings Jaycees are currently seeking nominations from the community for an "outstanding local family". The recently-initialed project is being held in conjunction with National Jaycee Family Week, which is Nov. 18-24. Steve Jacobs, chairman of the Hastings Jaycee Board, authored the idea of local Jaycee chapters each selecting an outstandir<g family from their community, then entering it for regional and statewide conderations. The idea was approved as a project by the Michigan Jaycee Board of Directors. "We’re <the Jaycees) calling it the •Family Week Pride Project* and it's designed to bring the family unit back into focus." said Jacobs. "Also, it's to reaffirm Jaycee support of the family as an integral part of society and the individual. “For many years the National Jaycees have set aside the second week of November to recognize the importance of families." he added, "so with the inception of this new project, local chapters across the state, under the leadership of David VanEe of Byron Center, will select a nominee from each of their communities. Then the chapter will enter that nominee into a regional Jaycee competition. At the Oct. 24 regional meeting a family will be selected to move onto state competition. A presentation to the ‘Outstanding Family' in the state will then be made at the November state board meeting in Detroit. "These families should be selected on the basis of their commitment to traditional family values and show that through (heir exemplary lives they inspire other families to do (he same, said Jacobs. There are five qualifications being used for consideration. They arc: —A couple must be married for at least —A cuupic mux u family, —A family must have a good record of community and family service; —A family may or may not be a member of the Jaycees. —And a family must adhere to Ihe basics of the Jaycee Creed in their everyday routine of life. That Creed states that “We believe: That faith in God gives meaning and purpose to human life; That the brotherhood of man transcends the sovereignly of nations; That economic justice can best be won by free men through free enterprise; That govern­ ment should be of laws rather than of men; That earth's great treasure lies in human personality; And that service to humanity is the best work of life. Deadline for local entries is Oct. 20. Nominees, and reasons for it. should be sent to the Hastings Jaycees. Box 193. Hastings. Ml 49058. �The Hastings Banner — Thursday, October 4, 1984, Page 9 Red-hot Atkinson making name for herself by Steve Vedder Saxon junior forward Amy Atkinson is off to a fast start this season averaging 28 points per game. The visitor to the basketball game Tuesday night casually mentioned to the man sitting beside him he was here to do a story on Hastings' best basketball player. The man immediately looked around the gym. "Oh, I don't think Mark is here.” he said. No, not THAT player. The best female player, answered the visitor. That, of course, narrows the field down to one Amy Atkinson. The junior forward with the short blonde hair has bolted from the gates this fall every bit as impressively as Hastings' other wellknown basketball player — the male one. Atkinson is currently averaging 28.6 points and 11.3 rebounds per game after 9 Saxon games. Compare that to 17 points and 8 rebounds last year when Atkinson was named to the second unit of the Twin Valley team. The personable Atkinson said the fast start comes as a bit of a surprise, but she's happy with it “Definitely happy," she said prior to the Hastings-Albion game on Tuesday. "I kind of expected to score some because we didn't have too much experience coming back. But not this much." Atkinson began her scoring binge by pumping in 58 points in the two games of the Lakewood Invitational. Since then Atkinson has scored a high of 41 in a win over Lakewood and 30 points in three other con­ tests. And it's not like Atkinson is taking errant shots by the bucket load, either. She's hitting 65 per cent from the field and 81 per cent from the line. "If I was shooting poorly I'd shoot less," said Atkinson. "But I seem to be getting the weak side rebounds and I try not to miss those shots." Saxon coach Pat Murphy said her star forward is first and foremost an outstanding team player. * ‘Not only is Amy a skilled player but she is a very alert team player looking for the open person to pass the ball to for a score," said Murphy. "She is the type of player who practices year around on her fundamentals and is never just satisfied with herself." After Hastings' first three or four games, opponents decided the best way to defense Atkinson was a box-in-one. So Murphy, with some assistance from boys coach Denny O'Mara, came up with a new offense designed to include more players into the offensive flow. The offense has resulted in successive wins over Sturgis and Albion. Atkinson said she doesn't worry about scoring points, just winning. “I just play hard. 1 don't think about scoring a lol of points," she said. “I don't think 1 have to score a lot for us towin." Amy scoffs at the idea she had to fill some pretty big shoes this fall. Her sister Paula was a standout Saxon basketball performer for three years, graduating last year. Amy said she just tries to play the game her own way. "I kind of thii’k of it as an honor to be compared to Paula because she is an ex- Saxon eagers take second straight win Hastings won its second straight girls basketball game on Tuesday with a 51-44 win over Albion. The Saxons are now 4-5 overall and 3-2 in the Twin Valley. Amy Atkinson fired in 30 points to lead Hastings — the fifth time the junior forward has scored 30 or more points in a game. Atkinson added 13 rebounds and 2 assists in addition to her 10 of 18 field goals. Kristin Trahan added 12 points and 10 rebounds. Hastings trailed 22-21 at the half but outscored the visitors 14-8 and 16-11 the final two periods to grab the seven point win. Meanwhile, the Hastings jayvee team made it nine straight with a 52-48 win. With the score tied 37-37 at the end of three periods in that game, the Saxors outscored the Wildcats 15-11 to notch the win. Susan Strong scored 6 of Hastings* 15 fourth quarter points. Angie Meyers and Heather Prucha combined for 38 points with Meyers hitting 20 and Prucha 18. The jayvees are now 5-0 in the league. Rodee’s white team on top y Sports.. • at a glance by Steve Vedder A favor remembered The sportswriter, barely seven months out of college, felt extremely illat-ease and badly out of place. Up to this point the only people the rookie reporter had ever interviewed were coaches, a few 17-year old star athletes, and a few other lesser types occasionally read about in newspapers. But now the reporter had been assigned to the first major story of his brief journalism career. The words of his editor still echoed loudly in the ears of the rookie writer as he glanced about the crowded East Lansing banquet room. "1 want you to cover the Detroit Tiger winter press tour, interview the manager and as many of the players as possible, and come back with a story on the team's chance® this year," roared the editor, a man resembling Archie Bunker but without the polish. Granted, talking with a handful of professional baseball players hadn’t seemed like a terribly difficult assignment, and the sportswriter thought the task a piece of cake right up until the time he entered the banquet room. But when he crossed into the room and faced the same ballplayers he had followed on television and read about in the papers he froze as stiff as a screwdriver without the orange juice. No J7-year old kids here. No crusty old coaches still ina sport for the love of it. Instead, the rookie reporter was looking at men who were paid hundreds of thousands of dollars to chase little white pellets around astro-turfed ballparks in the likes of Kansas City. New York, and Chicago. It was the duty of the reporter, whose biggest worry seven months ago had been passing his Holocaust final, to probe and pry and come back with a story on what these men thought of themselves as ballplayers. And for a 21 year old rookie reporter, the task proved more difficult than expected. He moved to the open bar and grabbed a cracker and coke and glanced around the room. Lord, thought the reporter as he glanced at one of the largest people he had ever seen, a television camera hardly does justice to Lance Parrish. What if I ask something he doesn't appreciate? worried the reporter, mentally blessing the newspaper's insurance plan. The reporter kept looking around the room. Is that really John Wockenfuss causing a general uproar throughout the room with his jokes and foolish antics'? And over there in that comer, is that really Alan Trammell looking more like some youngster all slicked up for the high school prom rather than an all-star shortstop? The 21-year old rookie reporter, somewhat bedazzled and more than a trifle shy, quickly found himself tonguetied and unable to approach any of the players. So he kind of rambled about the room sitting in on this interview and that one, but not really finding anything he could use for HIS story The rookie writer realized his editor — known among reporters wide as not the forgiving type — would be ex­ pecting a story and this was not the time to be coming back empty-handed. He had no special desire to spend the rest of his life stuck writing obits. Particularly his own. Finally,a tall, slender man with snow white hair approached the reporter and asked how things are going. The reporter recognized the man instantly and mumbled something about how things could be going better. The man with the neat snow white hair, perhaps realizing the reporter's predicament, sat him down and began discussing the Tigers and lheir chances of winning a pennant that summer. He uiis a friendly man, a smile constantly crossing his youthful-looking face, a man who is still well-known today as someone who loves to talk baseball by the hour. This white-haired man. an ex-used car salesman who can still offer a quality line of double talk, slowly began to give the reporter the story for which he was looking. The grateful rookie reporter, off the hook now. began to loosen up and realized it wasn't as difficult as he imagined talking to these ballplayer­ types. He finished off talking to the whitehaired man. thanked him. and then proceeded to approach each player confidently and eventually came up with a throughly acceptable story. Since that first interview several years ago. the reporter, now years past being a rookie, has interviewed the silvery-tongued, white-haired man on several occasions. Hundreds of sub­ jects later, the reporter still finds the man the single most interesting in­ terview he has ever conducted. But to this day, the reporter still realizes and appreciates the favor Sparky Anderson did for him one cold winter afternoon in East Lansing. The Rodee’s blue seventh and eighth grade football team entertained the Rodee’s white seventh and eighth grade team on Johnson’s Field Saturday with both teams carrying unbeaten records into the game. The white team behind an outstanding defensive effort led by Jack Robert, Joedy Planck, Jamie Garrett, Boyd Tobias and Jim Lenz defeated the blue team by a score of 306. The blue team scored on a 55 yard pass play from quarterback Gary Parker to fullback Dan Hubbell. The PAT attempt failed. The white team scored on runs by Mason Christiansen of 40 and 50 yards, a 60 yard pass from quarterback Brandon Wilder to Mike Wright who in turn pitched out to Christiansen who then scampered down the side lines, a 10 yard carry by Chad Murphy, a sack of Parker in the blue endzone by Murphy and poir.t-after-touchdown con­ version by Wilder and Christiansen. In the second half, the blue defense came to life and held the white team in check through most of the third quarter. The blue teams will travel to Vermontville Saturday, starling at 1 p.m. with the fourth and fifth grade game followed at 2:30 p.m. by the seventh and eighth graders. The white team, now al) alone on top of the Barry-Ionia-Eaton County League, will travel to Saranac to take on the once beaten seventh and eighth graders there at 12 noon. Saxon JVs up record to 3-0-1 The Hastings JVs won their third game of L • season Thursday night 27-13 at Sturgis. Both teams started off rather slow with Hastings finally going on top late in the first quarter on a 54 yard touchdown run by Jerrad Carrigan. But on the following kickoff Sturgis ran it back 75 yarefc to the two yard line and scored three plays later to take a 7-6 lead. After that Hastings took control of the game on an 85 yard kidtoff return by Carrigan. Carrigan later added a 27 yard run to pay dirt before the half for a 18-7 Hastings lead. In the second half Hastings scored a safety against Sturgis with Frank Wynans getting the two pointer. Carrigan wrapped up the scoring on a 29 yard run to put Hastings into a 27-7 lead. Sturgis scored late in the game to make it 27-13. cellent player." said Amy. As for the team itself. Atkinson sees the Saxons as improving as the season progresses. “We lost so much experience coming into the year." she said. “I think later we will improve because we will have played logetlier and gained some confidence." The best Hastings basketball player, er female player, will sec to that. Sports ■ - -- Saxons stiil aim for high finish One of the foremost goals for the Hastings football team going into the 1984 season was to finish as high as third or possibly fourth in the Twin Valley. And despite tenuous 1-3 overall and 1-2 league marks, Saxon coach Jeff Simpson believes that goal can still be reached. If... — Hastings picks up some much-needed momentum this Friday by beating a decent Coldwater team. — the 7 turnovers of last Friday’s 14-0 loss at Sturgis aren’t repeated. — Marshall, Albion and Hillsdale don't spring upsets on any of the league leaders. — the Saxon defense looks as sharp as it did against the Trojans. Still, Coldwater won’t be a pushover. The Cardinals lost a lough 8-6 verdict to Albion last week and with two wins in three league games, the Cardinals aren't about to let anybody kick sand in their faces while they still have a shot at winning a title. “It’s up to the kids," Simpson said of the rest of the season. "There's piobably a little doubt in their minds right now about what they have to do towin. And as coaches it's up to us to help erase that doubt. “We can still come in third or fourth and that's what we wanted. We still have four league games left." Simpson points out the difficult part of his team's schedule will be history after this Friday. Between them, Lakeview and Sturgis, Hastings' last two opponents, along with Coldwater are presently 8-1 in the league and 10-2 overall. Toss in Lakewood, who is 3-1. and the combined record of Saxon opponents is an outstanding 13-3. Aside from last Friday's 8-6 loss at Albion, Coldwater has notched league wins over October 4 October 4 Octobers October 54 Octobers October 10 October 10 Harper Creek and Hillsdale. "For all practical purposes, we’ve made it through the hard part of our schedule." said Simpson. As for last Friday’s 14-0 blanking at die hands of Sturgis, Simpson said 7 turnovers will not surfice two weeks in a row. On the positive side, the Saxons surren­ dered only 177 total yards to the Trojans — the second lowest total of the season for Hastings. Twice the Hastings defense stopped Sturgis drives inside the Saxons’ own 20-yard line. Again, the defense was led by Dave Kensington, Tim Hubert and Keith Stevens. It was the third time in four games Ken­ sington has led the team in tackles. Hastings isn't the only team trying to salvage lofty league finishes. Middleville. Maple Valley and Delton still have only lost once each in conference games. Thornapple Kellogg (3-1, 2-1), a big 14-6 winner over Godwin last Friday, has a pivotal game at home against frontrunner Hamilton this week. Hamilton is 34) in the league and 3-1 overall. "They're small but quick," Middleville coach Keith Rhines said of the Hawkeyes. "It should be a good game." Meanwhile. Maple Valley (2-1-1, 2-1) will be trying to hang in the SMAA race with a key game at St. Philip on Saturday. The Tigers, with three league wins in three outings, are in the driver’s seat for the SMAA tide. Delton (2-2, 1-1) entertains Mattawan in the Panthers’ homecoming contest this week. And finally, Lakewood (3-1) also has a homecoming affair slated against Fremont. BASKETBALL.

Lake postpones weed tax one year The Algonqui" Lake Community Association has put on hold for one year a proposed “weed tax" for lake residents. James Fisher, ALCA attorney, said the lake association will have to look to the Dec. 1. 1985 tax collection to raise funds necessary to pay for the annual spring spraying of aquatic weeds. There will be a special meeting of all lake residents Oct. 29, at which time residents will vote on whether to spray next spring. The cost of the annual spraying is approximately 39.000, and is paid for by voluntary contributions from the residents. Fisher said there were not enough signatures on the petitions, which were passed among lake residents, to ptace the first levy on the Dec. 1,1964 tax bill. Fisher said the number of signatures needed on the weed assessment petition must represent the owners of 65percent of the area of lakefront lots.

It works... for ALL OF US Price 25< Thursday, October 11,1984 Volume 129, No. 41 - Hastings, Michigan 49058 A record turnout of voters Monday ap­ proved operating miltage that will keep the doors open in the Delton Kellogg School District, but defeated a one-mill levy for capital improvements. Superintendent Dr. John Sanders said the election victory was as thrilling as winning a state tournament Twice this past summer voters had defeated millage requests, leaving the district with only eight-operating mills allocated by Barry County. If Monday's operating millage had been rejected, the school district would have run out of funds after the Nov. 2 payroll, forcing it to close down at least until another election attempt could be scheduled in December, Sanders had said last week. Voters on Monday approved 23.1 operating mills for two years by a vote of 1,545-1,340. The millage represents a two-mill increase and a 21.1 renewal. About 43-percent of the school district's registered voters — the largest turnout in the school's history — cast ballots in this week's etaction. ./•I’m thrilled_.with the tremendous response of voters...it's like winning a state tournament,” said Sanders Two fires reported last Thursday Hastings firefighterrs responded to two blazes Thursday, the worst of which leveled a pole barn, killing ten feeder iMkes. •' The 1:30 p.m. fire at the Dan Walden residence, 4618 Dowling Rd., was fully involved when units from the Hastings Fire Department arrived. They were assisted by units from Johnstown and Nashville. It took all three departments 2*4 hours to bring the blaze under control. Destroyed In the fire were 3,000 bales of hay, 900 bales of straw, and a milking parlor. Fire officials believe the fire started in the milking parlor, and was elec­ trical in nature. The second blaze came about 1:45 a.m. at a vacant house at 1328 Charlton Park Rd. When Hastings firetrucks arrived, the home was fully involved in flames and smoke. Assisting Hastings in the two-hour blaze were tanker trucks from the Woodland and Nashville Fire Depart­ ments. The home was left standing, though firefighters call it a total loss. The owner of the property, James Musser, W. State Road, reportedly moved out of the home Sunday. The blaze is currently under investigation by the Barry County Sheriff Depart­ ment Damage is estimated at between $x,ooo and 335,000. Banner Hastings Besides just keeping the doors open, he noted that approval of the millage means the district will be abie to begin limited ex­ pansion of educational opportunities and make improvements in academic offerings. Sanders said school staff will immediately take steps to redesign the social studies curriculum in grades 1-7 and will now be able to secure the necessary software and text­ books needed to improve that academic area. "We’re not wasting any time,” he said. Plans also are underway to improve the science program in those same grades and “we intend to have it in operation in ’85.” Board of Education President Vern Scott said he feels "very good” about Monday’s outcome. “It was a good turnout...a lot of people realized what we were trying to do. I feel very good about the way we conducted the campaign. We didn’t play games and they (voters) finally listened. “Now we'll be able to continue with a good educational program. There'll be some limitations in what we can do, but we will ho able to have some growth.” said Scott. Both Scott and Sanders expressed disappointment about the defeat of a separate millage proposal that would have provided 1-mill for building maintainance like a new .oof for tbe elementary school and roof repair for the middle school, and the purchase of teaching tools and equipment, including computers. Voters turned down that request by 1,490-1,380. “I would have liked to see the one-mill pass because it would have allowed us to do some of the things we wanted to dp," said Scott. Sanders said the defeat of the capital improvements mill “will interfere with some of our plans and implementation of academic improvements, especially hardware. “We will have to consider what to do and look to the future.” Sanders attributes the passage of the operating millage to “many informed people. We had a lot of discussion and in­ formative media coverage. We got out and met the public wherever we were asked. Of course, that increased the number of ’no’ voters too. Parents, especially, were con­ cerned about having the schools close (if the millage had been defeated.” School expects to approve labor contracts Keeping her chin up... Northeastern sixth grader Shane Bassett tries her hand at doing pullups during the President's Council for Physical Fitness tests last week.

(Bonner photo) Hastings Banner wins awards from Michigan Press Association Moving up a notch from a year ago, the Hastings Banner received two awards from the Michigan Press Association in its annual newspaper contest. The Banner was given a third place award for general excellence and a third place award for editorial writing. A year ago, the first time that the Banner was entered in the contest since it was purchased by J-Ad Graphics, Inc., the paper won an honorable mention in general excellence. Judges from the Illinois Press Association selected the winners from 1,527 entries submitted by 85 weekly newspapers and 40 daily newspapers. The Banner was judged in its circulation class of 3,000 to 5,000. Judging in the general excellence category is based on layout, design, use of photos, headlines and body type, reproduction quality, overall appearance and imagination, news content and editorial comment. "Obviously, we’re pleased to have moved up a notch in the awards selection," Melvin F. Jacobs, publisher of the Banner, said. "We have spent a lot of time developing lhe paper in news content, quality and ap­ pearance. The strong and growing support from the community and lhe work of our dedicated staff have helped us to produce an award-winning local newspaper.” Jacobs noted that paid circulation of the Banner has grown by nearly 27 percent over the past 24 years and is expected to con­ sistently top 4,000 each week by the end of this year. The editorial writing award was given for an editorial published on July 14,1983 calling for and end to personal feuding on the Hastings City Council. Editorials are judged on “high regard for reader concerns, editorial initiative, and enterprise of courage." The four weekly papers taking first place in their circulation categories were the Dearborn Press & Guide, Gaylord Herald Times, L’Anse Sentinel and the Oxford Leader. Daily newspapers taking first place awards were the Detroit Free Press, Port Huron Times Herald and the Big Rapids Pioneer. The annual newspaper competition is held in conjunction with National Newspaper Week. Oct. 7-13, which is set aside to promote the contributions of newspapers to a free society and democracy. by Norma Acker The Hastings Board of Education is ex­ pected to approve a two year contract for food service workers and bus drivers al Monday's meeting. The board will meet Oct 15 at 7:30 p.m. at Pleasantview Elementary School. If approved, food service workers will receive a four percent increase across the board, which includes life insurance. Hourly wages for general help will range from 34.27 to 36.18. Assistant cooks will be paid 36.52 an hour, bakers will receive 36.61 per hour, cooks, 37.19, and the accountant will be paid 36.45, Superintendent Carl A. Schoessel said.. Schoessel said that there were language changes in the contract included clauses for no-strike or lockouts, no sympathy strikes and work-study programs for special education students. Schoessel said that the administration had reached an agreement with the bus drivers but that the contract has not yet been ratified .cost efficient. The Barry County Board of Com­ missioners Tuesday look action to concur with the opinions of Probate Court and Juvenile Division officals that the Mitchell Home should temporarily suspend operations. The Mitchell Home, established in May of 1979. can acommodate up to six delinquent males. Robert F. Nida, court administrator, told cr mmissioners that there are currently only three youth in the home and that by October 19. there would be only one occupant left who could be placed in a foster care home. Tbe costs to keep the Mitchell Home open for just one youngster would range in the neighborhood of 3230 to $300 per day, Nida projected. “We do not feel comfortable with that," he told the board. The cost per day to place a youth in foster care is $10.71. "It would be rather negligent on our part to operate the Mitchell Home for one-person. So the court concludes that it would be wise to temporarily suspend operations and evaluate it on a monthly basis...Maybe three or four months down the line we could con­ sider opening it again. "We’ve talked to prol-ation officers and they said they don’t know of any young men in the near future who will need placement there." Nida added. Assignment to the Mitchell Home is reserved as a last resort Elementary School, and Anthony Hogan to replace Shirley Wietrrik as the high school Spanish-English teacher. Hogan is fluent in ten languages and has been teaching at Detroit Catholic Central High School for 14 years. Other items on the agenda include: —Adoption of a resolution opposing Proposal C on the Nov. 6 ballot; —Accepting a gift from the athletic boasters of six varsity football helmets and weighted jump ropes for lhe wrestling team; —Approving the annual audit report; and —Approving winter coaching assignments, which have not yet been finalized. The educational presentation at the beginning of the meeting will outline plans for gifted and talented students in lhe Hastings schools. The presentation will be made by Joyce Newhouse, principal at Pleasantview Elementary School, and Melinda Stahlman, teacher for gifted and talented teacher students. “Microwave” defendant gets probation by Ken Relbel A woman who pleaded no contest to a charge that she subjected her eight-week-old daughter to microwave radiation was sen­ tenced last week to five yeai? probation. The sentence for Claudia Joyce Raynes, 33, Fifth Ave., Lake Odessa, was handed down by Ionia-Montcalm County Circuit Judge Charles Simons, Jr. Simons replaced BarryEaton Circuit Judge Hudson E. Deming on lhe case, who was dismissed at the request of Raynes's attorney, William Mills, of Grand Rapids. In addition to probation, Raynes was or­ dered to serve 100 hours of community No deliquent youths, Mitchell House shuts down By Elaine Gilbert The Hastings based Phillip Mitchell Group Home, a residential treatment facility for delinquent youth in the county, will tem­ porarily close its doors this month because of a lack of youngsters to make its operation by lhe drivers. He said that he could not discuss the contract until it is ratified. Michael Hallifex, president of the bus drivers association, was not available for comment. Jn other business the board is expected to set tuition and transportation rates for elementary students at 32,286 and secondary students at $2,366. The superintendent said that the cost of educating secondary students is always higher. If an out-of-district student was enrolled by the fourth Friday student count . the rate is $109 for an elementary student and $189 for a secondary student. Schoessel explained that if students were enrolled or attending on or before the fourth Friday count, Hastings will receive state aid for those students. He said that the schools will have two out-of-district students at­ tending, both were enrolled before the fourth Friday student count. The board is also expected to approve the hiring of Judy Lenz to replace Jo Beth Bridleman as a secretary at Central when youth are not able to be helped while living in their own homes or a foster care setting. After the board's action, Nida said the home would be closed October 23 or 24, after the remaining youth could be placed in foster care. The closing of the Mitchell Home will directly affect three employees — two home parents and a caseworker — Nida said in a telephone interview after the meeting. He said the house parents have accumulated five-weeks vacation time that they can take Continued on pogo 11 This photo of the Philip Mltchall Group Homa, located at 522 E.

Judge Simons also ordered Raynes to allow her probation agent "direct visitation” with the child. Judge Simons also stipulated a six-month jail sentence for Raynes if she failed to comply with lhe terms of the sentence. The crime of child neglect or cruelty is a felony, punishable by up to four years in prison, and-or a fine of 32,000. However, the Michigan Supreme Court sentencing tmidelines recommended a minimum of "0 to 18” months in jail or prison for Raynes, who has no prior convictions. Dale Crowley, Barry County assistant prosecutor, said he is satisfied with the sentence, adding "it was probably ap­ propriate." He said the prosecutor’s office made no recommendation for sentencing. Barry County Prosecutor Judy Hughes said Judge Simon relied heavily on the pre­ sentence report, prepared by the Barry County Office of Probation and Parole. She described the report as being “very thick’.’ Steve Werdon, the adult probation officer ContinuodonpogoT �Page 2 — The Hastings Banner — Thursday, October 11,1984 VIEWPOINT: Two city construction projects underway soon Commentaries from our editorial staff and the community — by Ken Reibel Two major water-sewer improvement projects, with a total cost of $514,000, are scheduled to get underway next week. The work includes a $217,094 expansion of the Southwest Wastewater Trunk Sewer which will service Fish Hatchery Park and relieve the Green Street line of Pennock Hospital. The Hastings City Council Monday night lopped $35,000 off the total sewer project cost by using city pipe, and deleting a portion of the contract with Nagel Construction of Grand Rapids, the prime contractor. Council also gave approval to Williams and Works, a Grand Rapids engineering firm, to oversee the 12-week-long construction period. The sewer line is partially funded by a state grant for $80,000. Work should also start next week on a well bouse, part of the $134,271.57 package for the completion of the city’s third water well. The work is split into three parts: con­ struction of the well house, installation of a well pump and pipes, and the laying of water main and a special crossing over the Tho.*napple River. Mike Klovanich, director of public works, said the river crossing portion may be delayed until about Not. i, when the specially-designed pipe is delivered. Costs of the three construction phases, and the contractors are: — $31,535 to VanAUen Builders, of Delton, for a well house and site improvements — $32,906.57 to Brown Drilling Co., Inc., of Howell, for the installation of a well pump and pipes Proposal A Serious issue is simplified One of the problems with ballot proposals is that too often serious constitutional questions are simplified t0 appear as good ideas. Proposal A on the Nov. 6 ballot may look like a good idea but it is really a complex issue. Proposal A would give constitutional status to the Joint Ad­ ministrative Rules Committee, a committee of the state legislature that oversees rules and regulations adopted by executive departments as they implement legislation. The concept of the committee is to assure 'hat the intent of the legislature is carried out when the executive branch administers the laws. The committee exists now, but only through statute. A similar committee set up in the federal government was ruled un­ constitutional. To avoid having the committee in Michigan put out of business as unconsitutional, the legislature is seeking to have the committee made part of the constitution. Having the legislators stand as watchdogs over the bureaucracy sounds like a good idea. However, the job of administering the laws is the duty of the executive branch, not the legislative branch of government. Legislators already have the power to rewrite the laws to assure that their wishes are carried out and they have the real power of government, the power over money, with which to control the bureaucrats. Finally, the courts always stand ready as arbitrators when there is a dispute between the actions of the executive branch and the legislative branch of government. Adding a provision to the state constitution which gives greater power to the legislative branch is not a good idea. Legislators should legislate and let the governor and the executive branch administer the laws. LETTERS School congratulates sesquicentennlal to the Editor: To the Editor: The Thornapple Kellogg Board of Education went on record at its October 1 meeting, commending Leo Verlinde, Rod Finkbeiner, Rod Kenyon, and the entire Sesquicentennial Committee for the ex­ cellent celebration during the week of Sept. 24-30. This is something the community can long remember and be proud of. Thoma pple Board of Education Coaches credited for son’s skills Writer reached wrong conclusions To the Editor: I'm a mother of a high school football player. I’d like to say thanks to the seventh and eighth grade coaches, as they are the same men that were coaching my son since fourth grade. If they hadn’t been there coaching he wouldn't be as good of player as he is now. I am glad the coaches had time to work with 30 and 40 students of that age. A lot of coaches didn't even have sons playing football. Not to mention the other sports some of the coaches did get involved with. I think its great to have men of their caliber. The coaches working with my child and working with many other children have taken more time than their own fathers have to offer, to teach them the sport I've followed each game my son has played starting at fourth grade level. I’ve only seen that the coaches have taught my son things I've tried to teach him such as: sell-displine; organizations; manners; proper apparel; respect for authority; value of time; honesty; bow to playby rules. So many things to numerous to mention. The fact still remains we don't have enough coaches. Why try to critize the few good ones we have! Our sixth graders had no team last year. Why? I'd like the people to be awarq of the coaches own planning, time, money, that it takes to conduct a team. If you are not in­ volved in the activity of our little league, why voice an insulted opinion towards the men that put so much time towards the sport. Don't read about it, the thing to de is sit in the bleachers. Watch, you'll see more than you can ever read in an article You’ll see exactly what happen also. You won't the smiles on the children that carry the ball for 400 plus yards. It has taken certain coaching to bring that talent out of my child. I’m glad the coaches had more experience than I to bring this talent out of my son or I may have never known he had it, nor would he. I'd like to thank Don Roy and Hollis Adams and many others who have helped my son. Teri Burch To the Editor: I write this letter in response to Dave Vender’s Oct. 4 letter criticizing Little League football. I find it difficult to understand how Mr. Vender reached so many wrong conclusions by reading a simple newspaper article! Out running and out maneuvering the opposing team is what the game is about. Because a boy can catch one or two kick offs at the 35 yard line and display athletic ability greater than those of others does not con­ stitute poor sportsmanship. The coaches for my son's team, Don Roy and Carl Benner stress good sportsmanship and fair play. Every boy plays in the games providing he has met team requirements which are: 1) Make practice and be physically fit Don and Carl stress exercise to avoid injury and have been instructed on proper exercise techniques. 2) All boys are encouraged to make their school and family obiligations top priority. Don and Carl have had several years coaching experience. Their goal in coaching is not just to win, but to give the boys a chance to learn, participate and develop skills. They take a personal interest in each boy. The coaches are in contact with other area coaches and guided by 1 Jttle League rules. Every parent that allows their son to play football is well aware of potential injuries. We are also aware of potential injury at school with very little supervision on the "mush" field, and of potential injury everytime they ride off on their bike, or leave the house! Every possible precaution is taken to prevent injury including proper equipment, exercise and training. I would like to encourage Mr. Vender to attend some of our games and practices before he finds fault again and then perhaps he could discuss his concerns directly with the coaches rather than make generalized criticisms in a public paper!

Burglary suspect pleads guilty End of the road... Rusty, busted street signs are worthless when it comes to getting directions, but may conjure up memories for a Barry County native who's spent a lifetime trav­ ersing these country roads. The black and white, steel signs hove been removed by the Barry County Road Commission, and replaced with the more modern green and white aluminum variety. Goals of youth athletics group are outlined To the Editor: 1 am writing in response to Mr. Vender's letter to the editor "criticizing’’ the Hastings Little League football program. It is un­ fortunate that Mr. Vender chose to criticize publicly without spending any time in­ vestigating the program first. Hopefully, this letter will clean up any questions that arose from his letter. Five years ago, the Hastings Youth Athletic Association was formed with the purpose of supplementing the YMCA program with additional opportunities for the youth in Hastings to participate and learn fundamentals in several sports. Sub­ sequently, leagues were formed in basket­ ball, football and baseball. A board of directors was elected to make sure that the ingredients (i.e., good sportsmanship, safety, teamwork, coaching techniques, participation of all kids) of our charter were followed. The basketball program, for fifth, sixth, seventh and eighth graders, has been ex­ tremely successful and is now being operated as a part of the YMCA program. The HYAA still operates the baseball and football programs. Mr. Vender made several suggestions in his letter which should be addressed: 1) All coaches meet before each season with Dr. James Atkinson, an area physician. Dr. Atkinson has been very helpful in developing proper training techniques and exercises designed to reduce the risk of in­ jury. In addition, a registered nurse is present at all home games. 2) All coaches meet with Jeff Simpson, the Hastings High School head football coach, before each season. The purpose of this clinic is to discuss fundamentals, coaching techniques and coaching ethics. In addition, we try to parallel our program with that of the high school, in terms of formations, terminology and techniques, so that there will be a smooth transition into freshmen football. 3) There are rules set up for minimum and maximum playing times for the players. Mr. Vender's idea that “AU kids like a chance to carry the ball" does not show much thought. There is only enough time to teach the kids the fundamentals of a few positions. To put a child in a position he has not been trained for would only risk injury to himself and other players. 4) Mr. Vender suggests an eligibility system be developed with players and teachers. The football program is not af­ filiated with the school system. We certainly Write us a letter! Send form P S. 3579 to P.O. Box 8 — $69,830 Io Barts Construction of Byron for a waler main and river crossing The costs of the new well is partially funded by a $147,000 state grant.

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. recognize, encourage and emphasize the importance of schoolwork, but feel that in this instance, schoolwork should be a parental responsibility. 5) Mr. Vender wondered how one boy .would be permitted to carry the ball enough jo gain 400 yards in a lopsided game. In this ► particular game, the boy in question parried the ball only eight limes, none in the second half, and three of those carries were on kickoff returns. In conclusion, we feel that our coaches are extremely dedicated and qualified to ac­ complish the goals of the charter of the HYAA. The league with which we are af­ filiated, the Barry-Ionia-Eaton League, does an excellent job of monitoring the teams to make sure these goals are accomplished. These goals, good sportsmanship, safety, teamwork, fundamentals and participation, are certainly worth going to extra effort to attain, and we do appreciate any con­ structive input that will aid us in ac­ complishing these goals. Dave Rodenbeck Hastings Youth Athletic Association Milo Eugene Lake, 19, Battle Creek, pleaded guilty in Barry Circuit Court Tuesday to breaking and entering of a building, as part of a plea agreement with prosecutors. Police believe Lake is part of a burglary ring responsible for as many as 18 break-ins in Barry County. Lake was originally charged with two burglaries which occurred last winter: one at the Orville Babcock residence, S. Bedford Road, and one at the Virgil Hine residence on Center Road. According to Barry County prosecutors, Lake has agreed to cooperate with authorities in clearing up other break-ins. Meanwhile, Barry County District Judge Gary Holman disqualified himself from hearing the case of Bert Miner, 42, Battle Creek, charged with the same two break-ins. Holman made the move at the request of Miner's attorney. Miner is one of three men arrested for the July 22 burglary of the Summit Steel Corp, warehouse on Railroad Street His pre-trial is set for Oct. 26 in Barry Circuit Court. Miner also faces a charge of being an habitual offender. Prosecutors say he has nine previous felony conviction.

PUBLIC OPINION: Who will win the 1984 World Series, and why? Local papers lauded by Kiwanis Club To the Editor: The Kiwanis Club of Hastings welcomes this opportunity during National Newspaper Week (October 7-13) to salute The Reminder and The Hastings Banner. Also, they'd like to thank the publishers for their generous publicity and exceRent coverage of the numerous Kiwanis projects and activities throughout the past year. "Lighting Freedom's Way", the theme for this year’s observance of National Newspaper Week, is in accordance with the views of Kiwanis all over the free world. We appreciate your efforts in behalf of our community. Here's to making things belter in their community, the aim of all service clubs, and your cooperation helps us immeasurably. Wade W. Nitz, President The Kiwanis Club of Hastings McGregor, N RA officer supported for views Letter to the Editor: I am disappointed that the Banner would editorialize based only on other editorial comment. Sorry you were not at Hickory Comers yourself to evaluate the remarks of 3rd Congressional candidate Jackie McGregor and former Congressman Howard Pollock, who is now president of the National Rifle Association, and a patriotic American who is concerned about our nations future. Mr. Pollock slated his concern about the very real threat of loss of natural resources vital to this nation's well being. Minerals which are only available to us <the U.S.) from Southern Africa or the USSR had control (as reported by other congressmen who accompanied him on this mission). Mr. Pollock, who has served President Reagan as an appointee, should not be muzzled into silence. Surely you would give anyone the right to speak verifiable truth, wouldn't you? I attended the 3rd District Republican meeting Sept. 27. All attending members and guests were unified in support of Jackie who also has the enthusiastic support of President Reagan. Jackie McGregor has earned the right to represent us. and has the respect of those wo take the time and trouble to learn her views. C. Wendel Strickland Earl Connor MMte Hook Cindy Larsen JoffSknpoon Cary Phillips Bronda Nowman Dave Leary QUESTION: Coming into this season the Detroit Tigers had three goals they wanted to accomplish. The Tigers wanted to win the A.L. Eastern Division Championship, the A.L Pennant, and the World Series. In case you've just returned from vacationing at the North Pole, the Tigers have two of those goals under lock and key. The only one that remains Is the World Series. This week’s question Is who will win the 1984 World Series, the Tigers or San Diego Padres, and why. Brenda Newman. Hastings "The Tigers, of course, because they're the best team and everybody knows it. They proved it by going to Kansas City and winning two and then coming home and winning a game...They have too many excellent players. Cindy Larsen. Hastings The Tigers. Their record has proved it. They seem to come through in the clinch. Both teams have to be pretty good, but Detroit is the best " , Cary K. Phillips. Hastings “Detroit. I have a good feeling about the Tigers. They're going Io win it. Period. Even if they don't, it (the pennant race) has brought people together and talking. Thai's what I like." Dave Leary, Hastings “I want the Trgers but I think the Padres will win it. They have more people who’ve been there before. My heart is with the Tigers, but it’s going to lie the Padres in six." Jeff Simpson, Hastings "The Tigers in six. Two cf the games will be close because of (Goose) Gossage. But I don't see the Padres with the pitching and hitting of the Tigers. 1 think the Tigers will win it" Mike Hook. Hastings “The Tigers. They're better than the Padres because of the pit­ ching staff and defense. Plus they have belter hitters, too. And the manager is better." Dave Hustwick. Hastings "I'd be very surprised if it wasn't the Tigers. Offhand I'd say in six games, but the Tigers will beat them. They have good starting pitching and they've played well all year. They have no reason to go sour now." Earl Connor. Hastings "The Tigers. I think they have the better team. The pitching, defense, and hitting, they're all better. The Tigers are just a better team." �The Hastings Banner Thursday, October 11,1984 Thanks to you... it works... for ALL OF US Junior, sophomore tests set in Hastings On Tuesday. Oct. 23.

SOUTH JEFFERSON Street News Michigan Farmers Union endorses Woipe for re-election FIX UP STREET The Michigan Farmers Union, a family farm organization with a membership of over 2,000 families, has endorsed the re­ clection bid of Third District Congressman Howard Woipe. MFU President Richard Grabemeyer of Dowagiac says the organization's primary function is the preservtion of the family farm structure, and the improvement of the family farm economy. ‘Howard Woipe has one of the finest voting records in the entire Congress in regard to support for farmers," said Grabemeyer. “Congressman Woipe has been given consistently high marks, (between 90-100 percent) by the National Farmers Union, the National Farmers Organization, and the American Agriculture Movement for his legislative track record, and he has distinguished himself as an effective ad­ vocate of family farms and farming,” Grabemeyer said. ‘‘On his frequent trips back to the district, Woipe has kept in close touch with the family farm community, and has become in­ timately familiar with the problems which concern farmers so deeply: the burden of enormous debt, falling land prices, high interest rates, food prices that yield a return far below the cost of production, the in­ stability in national farm policy, and the overvaluation of the American dollar in foreign trade," said Grabemeyer.” ' Almost anything can be repaired on South Jefferson Street. Beebe's can mend your shoes. D.J. Electric can fix most anything electrical. Hastings T.V.-Radio service can repair your broken Television. They fix sweepers at Hastings Sweeper Shop, bikes at True Value, tires at Signs Tire Service and pets at Dr. Fred Hauser’s. Flowers from Barlow’s will mend a broken heart.

County book project offers chance to be part of local history You’ve probably never stopped to realize that most likely 100-years in the future not much will be known about you and your family. A group of historically-minded volunteers from throughout the county are taking steps to correct that. The Barry County Book Committee is in the process of undertaking a project to update the county's history from 1885-2985 and wants you to be included in the published volume. All current and former residents are invited to submit an article about their personal history. There will be no fee having your family history included in the book, said committee chairman Roy Kent of Hickory Comers. The book will also include histories of com­ munities, townships, churches, landmarks, events, and more.

No comprehensive history of Barry County has been written since 1885 when a history of Eaton-Barry counties was published, said Kent. "We'd like to get everyone's family history who wants to be in the book," he said. Also serving on the book committee are Joyce Weinbrecht of Hastings, treasurer and publicity chairman; Curtis Lawrence of Hickory Comers, and Howard Ferris of Hastings. Individual family histories will be limited to 500-words each and must be submitted to the book committee no later than Feb. 1, 1985. Histories should be submitted as soon as possible to the book committee, 3160 S. Broadway, Hastings, Mi. 49058. Each history can include such information as when and why the family came to Barry County; place of residence; interesting tidbits about childhood, health, trips, brothers, sisters and unusal experiences; occupation, types of transportation used, etc. A family photo (preferably black and white) may be included in the book. Kent said he encourages persons to have a copy made of an original photo rather than sub­ mitting the original. Although every effort will be made to return originals after the expected publication date in October of 1985, be said. The only way to obtain a copy of the completed book is through advance orders. Kent said the book wUl be a high quality family keepsake with a heavy binding. He added that the committee is not making a profit on the book which will cost $38. It will be published by Taylor Publishing Co. of Dallas, Tx. and the committee needs to sell 500-books (approximately 30 per township) "to make it a worthwhile pursuit." Kent said he hopes the completed history book will total about 400-plus pages. Possible features might include an honor roll of servicemen and plat maps of townships. In organizing the history book project, the committee is rounding up volunteers from each township to help. Currently volunteers are still needed for the townships of Assyria, Yankee Springs. Thornapple, Castleton, and Baltimore. Interested persons should cal) Kent at 671-4100.

This week featuring... RUTH TURNER Ruth Turner is an active church and club volunteer who seems to thrive on being busy. She's also a rare individual who enjoys two activities that most people loathe — washing dishes and ironing. "I enjoying washing dishes and ironing...! have for years and years...There’s no part of housework that I don't enjoy," said Ruth. And her enjoyment doesn’t stem from trying to make the best of a stack of dirty dishes. She has an automatic dishwasher but prefers to let it sit idle unless she has hosted a large dinner party. When it comes to entertaining, she would rather prepare dinner for 20 than four. "I enjoy cooking and I like to experiment with food," Ruth says. “And I think things should be pretty...! like them io be decorative. For instance, I like tables' « pretty at a dinner party-1 like to have a i -f candles, cloth napkins and fresh flowers I I like things to match." While . ring in Birmingham, she and husband, Leland, belonged to a gormet dinner club with three other couples. "It was a neat experience,” she says. Each month the dinner club focused on a menu from a different country. The host couple would serve the main entree and the others furnished complimentary dishes from pre-arranged recipes. Since moving to the Algonquin Lake area nearly five years ago Ruth has established a tradition of hasting an open house Christmas tea at her home for all of the approximately 75 ladies of the First United Methodist Church in Hastings. For the open house. Ruth enjoys baking dozens and dozens of individual "jeweled fruit cakes" and 12-15 different kinds of cookies. "I got the idea for having the open house from a lady at our other church before we moved to Hastings. The year we moved here, she was hosting her 56th Christmas tea. I thought that seemed like a nice tradition and I plan to do it as long as we live here," said RuthBeing active in the Methodist Church is an important part of Ruth's life. She serves on the finance committee, the administrative board and on the council on ministries. Ruth also is president of the United Methodist Women at her church and will soon be ser­ ving as UMWs financial interpreter for the Lansing district. In addition, she sings in the choir and performs with the hand bell group. Playing hand bells is both enjoyable and challenging, she notes. "I’ve always enjoyed music but before I just always sang...anyone can learn (toplay hand bells)...and you don't have to read music.” Making items for the upcoming church bazaar including ornaments of lace net darning and creating beaded Chrismons ireligioiB symbols) to decorate the church Christmas tree are current projects. Last year, she and other church women made counted cross-stitch Chrismons for the church. Participating in annual CROP walks is another activity she puts on her agenda. Ruth is a member of the Hastings Women’s One of the most mysterious, cheaply fashioned, and virtually ignored dolls of the recent past is the decorative boudoir or bed-doll. Some of the better and earliest examples date to World War I and the torrid, vamping days of Theda Bara. The most vivid, over­ rouged types, however, came into being with Clara Bow and the naughty, risque, cigarette-smoking flapper. They personified flaming youth with their hip-flasks, rolled silk stockings, bobbed hair and spit curls. Almost every modern home in the 1920s and '30s sported one or more of these modish coquettes, sitting disdainfully among an array of laced and beribboned cushions on the bed or sofa. The idea for the bed or "boudoir” doll, often referred to as French, did, no doubt, originate in France, but they were copied widely in New York, Italy, and Germany. It has been said that they were very popular with the rather immature "demi-mondaines” who spent their days in the boudoir. Still, a search through old French theatrical and cinema magazines of the times reveal their importance in musical tableaux, and we find they were utilized by the likes of Mistinquette, the Dolly Sisters, etc., all stars of Les Folies Du Music-Hall. French, German, British, and American cinema used them in bedroom scenes as part of the Art Nouveau or Art Deco decor. The British preferred to call them "wobblies". They were also popular with such screen stars as Joan Crawford, Delores de) Rio, Greta Garbow, Claire Windsor, Irene Rich and others in whose image their faces were simulated. In 1919, Consuelo Fould of Paris made her version of the boudoir and registered the trademark as Les Victorieuses. Her dolls were tall and spindly with hair wigs, rolled stockings, high heels, long lashes, silk frocks, and were lavished with beads and feathers. They were ideal for window display, as they were wired for posing. Another early boudoir doll made in Paris in the 1920s was one with a ceramic-type face, human hair wig, inserted eyelashes, and a music box inside the body. Madame Lend of Italy came forth with tiie Italian version. She preferred felt, not only for the doll itself but for the hat, costume and shoes. These "Lend” dolls, as they are called, are very desirable and expensive on the doll collectors market today. Dollmakers today try to copy Lend but they lack the flair and glamour of her dolls. Mme. de Pompadour, Marie Antoinette, Rudolf Valentino, Jeanette MacDonald, Mary Pickford, Lillian and Dorothy Gish all wound up in doll form on someone’s bed. Of all the boudoir dolls currently available on the collector’s market. Club and served as its membership chair­ man for the past two years. She also par­ ticipates in the club's stitchery group. With the Algonquin Lake Association, she has served as treasurer. “This town is great." Ruth says. “And I enjoy everything I’m doing " The youngest of six children, she was born and raised in Pontiac where she graduated from high school. She and her husband, currently a metallurgist with LTV-Sleel, lived in Mansfield, Ohio from 1956-62 before moving to Birmingham. While living on the east side of the state, Ruth was employed as office manager for 11years with a firm which owned four-men’s shoe stores. In the Hastings area, she was previously employed part-time for a local builder, helping buyers with mortgage ap­ plications and decorating, including the selection of cupboards, carpeting, lighting, etc. Back in the kitchen, one of Ruth's favorite recipes is a unique cheesecake which has a pretzel crust! She says the crust (which also has sugar in it) counteracts the sweetness of the strawberry topping and results in a very tasty dessert. She obtained the recipe a number of years ago when she attended a luncheon where recipes were shared. Ruth’s Strawberry Pretzel Treat Ruth Turner displays her unique version of cheesecake, called “Strawberry Pretzel Treat." It has a pretzel crust and strawberry topping which complement each other and the cream cheese and Cool Whip filling. Crust: 2-cups crushed pretzels; 3Tablespoons sugar; and 4-cup melted butter. Mix and put in a 9 by 13-inch pan. Bake at 350-degrees for 8-minutes. Cool. Cream together sugar and cheese. Add Cool Whip and spread mixture over pretzel­ crust. Filling: one 8-ounce package cream cheese; 1-cup sugar; and 9-ounces Cool Whip. Topping: two 3-ounce packages of wild strawberry Jello; 2-cups boiling water; two 10-ounce packages of frozen strawberries. Add boiling water to dissolve Je’lo.

Cathy brought and donated a copy of the recent edition of “Michigan History" magazine to the Woodland library. The magazine contains an article written by Miss Arnott about the great reputation­ ruining controversy caused by the will of Lewis Smoke who was injured in an accident in Woodland while digging a well with Eph Lucas near the Methodist parsonage in 1880 and died a few weeks afterward at the homeopathic hospital at the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor. One man, J. Frank Murphy, was tried and convicted of perjury in the case in a Barry County Court and spent some time in prison. Many years later, one of his sons. Frank Murphy, was governor of Michigan and a justice of the United States Supreme Court. Miss Arnott is working on a thesis about the history of Woodland Township for her master's degree in history at the university. Her father is a history professor at Tufts University and the family lives near Boston but have been summer residents of Woodland Township for many years. They own a cottage at Jordan Lake. Miss Arnott attended Kilpatrick Church on Sunday morning and had Sunday dinner at the home of Marguerite and Emile Baitinger. Jack Crockford, a Woodland native and the retired director of the State of Georgia Department of Fish and Game, spent the weekend in the Woodland area visiting with his family. Mr. Crockford stayed at the home of his sister and brother-in-law, June and Dr. Douglas Bonn, and he spent Saturday af­ ternoon with his brother, Robert Crockford. On Saturday morning, he called at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Jim Lucas. He alsu visited with his other sister and brother-in-law, Janice and Erie Clum, and his mother. Mrs. Gladys Crockford, who resides in Hastings. Jack planned to meet four friends from Georgia in the Pigeon River Game Area on Monday and hunt grouse for a few days. He planned to be back in Chamblee, Georgia by Friday evening to attend a city council meeting. He is a trustee of that city and a former mayor. George Schalbly recently returned from a brief trip to Florida. George drove south with his brother, Hobart, who will spend a few months in Bradenton in his winter home. While he was in Florida, George visited Anna Marie Island where he and Hobart had dinner. He also attended church and Sunday School at Calvary Baptist Church where the Sunday School class was taught by Henry Boss, formerly of the Grand Rapids Radio Bible Class. George flew back to Grand Rapids on Wednesday of last week. On Saturday. Oct. 13. Zion Lutheran Church will hold a bazaar from 9 a m. to 3 p.m. The ladies of the church have been working on craft and handmade items for several months for this bazaar.

Everyone is invited and it is requested that no gifts be given. The Woodland Elevator closed last week after 98 years of doing business under three names. A party was held by the employees on Wednesday afternoon for the farmers and village people who had been customers and suppliers of the elevator. Until the mid­ thirties, the bean sorting room over the elevator had been a source of extra income for Woodland area farm wives and daughters and the main point of spreading news around the village. Ln most conversations, the most interesting tidbits were prefaced with the remark, "I heard at the bean room...’’. Woodland United Methodist women are working on making items for their annual fall festival which will be held at the church on Saturday, Oct. 27. There will be craft items, greeting cards, miscellaneous items for sale and a luncheon and a dinner. The festival will last all day. A memorial service was held on Saturday afternoon for Mrs. Beulah Lambert, the widow of Clare Lambert, at the Woodland United Methodist Church. Mrs. Lambert died on Wednesday at Leila Post Hospital in Battle Creek after a long illness. She had fallen out of bed a few days earlier and broken her hip. The service was conducted by the Reverend William Tice of White Cloud. Mrs. Lambert had lived there for several years before her illness and had most recently owned as home in Union City. Mrs. Lambert was survived by three daughters, Sue Zigler of Muskegon, Pat Page of Flint, and Claire Ann Lambert of Union City, three stepdaughters including Mrs. Jean Schwarting of Woodland, and two stepsons, Jack Lambert of Lake Odessa who teaches art at Lakewood High School, and Bob Lambert. She is also survived by a brother, Russ McKinney of the Clarksville area, 37 grandchildren and 30 great grandchildren. There was no burial at this time as she had willed her body to the University of Michigan Medical School at Ann Arbor. G. R. and Mercedeth McMillen returned from a three week lour of Scotland, Ireland, Wales and England last week. Although they were on an AARP sponsored tour, they had plenty of time for free exploring on the trip. They flew from New York to Shannon Air­ port by Aer Lingua jetliner and spent nearly HISTORIC CHARLTON PARR (ULLAGE & ZFSX Museum’s 2nd Annual WAUCTION those of Lend have endured to remain the best frocked and most expensive — some selling for over $1,000 at auction. In the early 1920s, bed-dolls were manufactured by the "Flapper Novelty Co." and another popular line under the Ki-Ki trademark. These were flappers and screen stars. In 1923, George McCann of New Jersey copyrighted his version of the “hotcha" flapper. The McCann dolls had bobbed hair, short skirts, striped stockings, a collar and a natty tarn — not to forget over-rouged cheeks and lips, and long, seductive eyelashes. Most of the belter bed-dolls wore French silk stockings of various colors with matching sateen high-heeled slippers, buckled and tied. Beauty marks on the cheeks were not un­ common. A 1928 Butler Brothers catalog depicts bed-dolls of various sizes and types. There were also black bed-dolls. Versions that were six and one-half inches tall had china heads, glass eyes, painted or mohair wigs, and velvet bodies of various colors with caps to match. These were sold undressed for as little as $1.75 per dozen. The six and one-half inch tall composition head, mohair wig, sateen body, felt hat to ma’ch, felt collar and ballet skirt, sold for $7.80 per dozen. A 224 inch grouping had cigarettes in their saucy mouths. These sold for $22 per dozen. The average large size boudoir doll sold for about $1, dressed or undressed. Any of these dolls today sell for $200 or more, each! Bed-dolls, I think, were indicative of the times. The late 1920s and early '30s were the heydays for Al Capone, BabyFace Nelson, Pretty Boy Floyd and Dillinger; of bathtub gin. and MachineGun Kelly. The underworld bosses brought their bloody vendettas into the streets. They sported black limousines, shoulder holsters and gun-molls. Their women were as brazen as their male counterparts. Feathered boas, bobbed hair, spit curls, fox-tails and bugle­ beads adorned these cutsing, cigarette­ smoking “flappers". The "speak-easy” was their turf, as well as the streets in cities like Chicago and Detroit. The gangsters and their “painted ladies" ruled the times and made the streets unsafe for the average citizen. Shootouls with the "Feds" or other mobsters were not uncommon. Those were the days Mae West told everyone to come up and see her sometime; of prohibition; the Lind­ bergh flight; the ice-man; the Charleston, and ragtime. Boudoir dolls were made in the image of the flapper and are reminiscent of that time in history. For the more timid soul, owning a flapper bed-doll was probably the closest thing to being part of the "Roaring Twenties". a week touring Ireland. During that time, they visited Limerick, Tipperary, Killarney, Blarney Castle, Cork, Waterford. Wexford, Vale of Avoca, and Dublin. They spent several days in Scotland visiting Glasgow, Inverness, Edinburgh and Scott Country. After leaving Scotland, they visited Wales and then entered England. At Warwick in England, their paths crossed those of Harold and Nell Stannard and Bob and Virginia Crockford who were also touring the British Isles. They saw many English cities, towns, and sights including Stonehenge before they spent the final three days of their tour in London.

The following Is the work of Eva Payne. My Chapel on a Hill by Eva Payne The Christmas card featured a chapel with a steeple and a cross on top. When 1 showed it to an eldely amateur carpenter, he said, “1 can't build this,” but after much discussion, he agreed to try to construct such a small chapel, minus the steeple and cross. To earn the needed money, 1 got a job taking census and told the Lord if He would help me because I was very nervous, I’d use half of it for the chapel. After covering.many miles, talking to many people, and turning in many census papers to our leader, the money was gained. Our carpenter used lumber he had saved from wrecking a building and newly pur­ chased only the side hoards and floor boards, making the cost cheaper. We had to have many conferences about the project because I often couldn’t find words to explain since I didn’t know carters’ terms. Finally, the small but heavy building was ready to be moved to my special hill on my special acreage only six miles form the carpenter’s garage. This created another of my many problems. Our truck wasn’t wide enough to move the chapel. However, our carpenter called to say that a farmer would haul it with his tractor and wagon but would not deliver it to my chosen hill back among the trees as I wanted. I called my son and we met at the forty acres with a chain saw. When the tractor with the chapel reached there, we had cut the trees back, making it possible to place it on “my hill." Acquiring the steeple and cross was not an easy matter. I asked everyone if they could be constructed but the task was difficult. Months adter, the miracle happened. A neighbor remarked that my chapel looked bare from the road and that I should come and look at it When I arrived at the road into the woods, tears of joy ran down my cheeks for there on the chapel roof were a white steeple and a cross. The carpenter's son, a boy I used to baby-sit with years ago, had built it and placed it there. The pews were cut down from large church pews I'd bought at an auction. Each one made two. We papered, paneled, and hung white curtains. Now I invite you to spend a few quiet minutes, looking at the picture of Jesus or reading a few verses from the Bible. It is a place for communion with God. Sarah...Lamb of God by Eva Payne A few weeks ago at Grace Wesleyai Church, "The Lord Is My Shepherd” was th< text for the sermon by Reverend Len Davis First, Al Lancaster read the entire Psalm, the much loved twenty-third: “The Lord is my shepherd.' Do you hear? The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want,’" continuing to read with great emphasis. Next, Reverend Davis proclaimed John 10:14: "I am the Good Shepherd and know .ny sheep." It was then that the congregation of happy children and adults cheered when they heard the sound of "Baa, Baa” as the minister in­ troduced Sarah, my lamb, holding her in his arms as he spoke to us. After assuring Sarah that everything was all right, he talked about David, the author of the psalm. David grew up as a shepherd boy, experiencing encounters with bears and other beasts that sought after his sheep. When he said, "The Lord is my shepherd," he knewlhe weakness of his sheep and that every one was different from the others, just as we are different. Rev. Davis assured us: "Jesus knows every one of us just as we areour needs- our weaknesses- our fears- and our anxieties. Jesus cared. 'The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want' reveals that the sheep were utterly satisfied with their shepherd. Sometimes we Christians become dissatisfied and look to the world for satisfaction. The Lord really cares. The Lord Jesus knows. He knows when we have heartaches and He provides for us.” As Rev. Davis asked, "Has He provided for you today?" Sarah, the lamb, cried "Baa, Baa" in affirmation, and Rev. Davis replied, "Sure He has and sure He will.” Then he quoted Paul in the book of Romans: "My God will supply all my needs," As we listened, we knew the truth of the reminder that sheep sometimes have to climb mountains to get to green pastures or go down into valleys to the still waters but he will provide. Sarah baaed again and the audience echoed, “Amen”. “Lambs, like people, are very fearful and timid, needing to be led,” Rev. Davis con­ tinued. "Our Good Shepherd will lead us and not drive us. Throughout our lives, can we not depend on Him to provide for every tomorrow and lead us today?" Woodland News, cont They flew back to Michigan through New York and Chicago. Jan Niecko, her husband, Martin Niecko and their two sons drove from their new home in Portage to the home of her grand­ parents, Mr. and Mrs. Stuart Kussmaul in Woodland on Sunday. When the Nieckos arrived, they took the Kussmauls to Lansing where they met Jay Kussmaul and his wife, Julie, and Andy Kussmaul at a restaurant. The family had dinner together to celebrate the 15th wedding anniversary of Jan and Marty and the first anniversary of Jay and Julie. After the dinner party, the family spent the remainder of the afternoon at the home of Jay and Julie in DeWitt. 20% OFF Casual corduroy separates byHaggar!

Raynes pleaded no-contcsl July 25 to a charge of child neglect and cruelty. The plea of no contest means the defendant chooses not to contest the case, and the judge agrees to accept the plea and treat it as a plea of guilty. Judge Deming refused to accept a plea of guilty from Raynes in Feb., 1983, after the woman told him the infant was mysteriously burned after placing it on an ironing board in front of the oven. Deming said he heard nothing in Raynes's story to convince him that a crime had been committed. A month later, Deming refused to en­ tertain a no-contest plea from Raynes, based on the testimony he heard from her when she tried to plead guilty. Deming's decisions sparked appeals by both the prosecution and the defense, which sent the case to the Michigan Court of Ap­ peals, and the Slate Supreme Court. Both courts rejected the appeals. Raynes, the mother of two. turned herself into authorities following an investigation into the Oct. 31, 1982 incident. Although police said Raynes placed her baby inside a microwave oven, court documents only say she "did willfully, unlawfully, or neglectfully deprive said child of necessary food, shelter, protection, to wit: protection from microwave radiation." Doctors at a Grand Rapids hospital were forced to remove the infant's left hand, part of the right foot, and a section of intestines, as a result of the burns. The infant was placed in a foster home following the incident, but has since returned home, under the guidance of Barry County ProbateCourt. SK/ as he was a pastor of St. Edward's.

Thaler, Clerk Barry County (10-11) From Time to Time... by...Esther Walton Baldwin story prompts reader responses The June 21sl story on Charles Baldwin that appeared in The Banner prompted tremendous response. Three people came forward with a wealth of new information. Ralph Burroughs, a nephew by marriage through Baldwin's second wife, Edith, had a box of clip­ pings and photographs; Dan Matthews, a nephew by Baldwin's first wife, had two photographs; and Brian Gibson, a young sports enthusiast, had Baldwin's baseball record. The best article about Baldwin was written September 12. 1934, parts of it are reproduced here: "Somewhere around 56 years ago a strong, wiry, rangy, athletic young lad 15 or 16 years old moved with his sister and father, Samuel Baldwin, from Johnstown Township onto a farm north of this city, lhe mother having passed away. This young lad had already started on a baseball career by playing 'Tick Catch' for a rural team at the Burroughs schoolhouse in Johnstown where he attended school. For fear that many of our readers, especially those more youthful, may not know what a Tick Catcher’ was, maybe we had better explain. A 'Tick Catcher’ was expected to be a lively young fellow who ranged around in the territory back of the catcher, chased passed ballsand if he ever caught a foul ball on the fly, the batter was out. When he didn’t catch the foul flies that came his way, well, it was just too bad because ballgames rn those days were seriously and strenuously played even though the scores on either side usually ran up into the 40's, 50's or 60's. Probably none of this young man's teammates, nor any of the spectators, ever dreamed that within a few years his name would be flashing in glaring headlines across the sports pages of the great metropolitan dailies and Charles Baldwin, nicknamed "Lady" Baldwin, heralded as the greatest basebail pitcher of his time — which he was... "Along about the time that Baldwin came to these parts, [fastings had a pretty good amateur team that could hold its own with most of the baseball teams around here. But in some way word was leaked that on a farm just north of town was a left-handed kid who could 'throw a ball like lightning', and a decent curveball, loo, so they induced him to join the team as a pitcher. After they signed him. they didn't know what iodo with him because they didn't have anyone who could hold him. They found that those reports about his marvelous speed and throwing curveballs were only too true. He could throw a ball like lightning and he could actually make it curve in several different ways (it is said that Baldwin invented the curved ball). A curveball in those days was listed among the "impossibles". Many said that it couldn't be done, that it was just a mental illusion and so on. When Baldwin pitched, the woven-wire back stop at the fairgrounds was hardly large enough to shelter eager spec­ tators, who sought preferred position to get a glimpse of what was said lo be a •curved ball'. In another undated, unnamed newspaper article. Charles F. Mathison, 1887 sports writer for the Detroit Free Press, told how Baldwin pitched; “Charlie Bennett, his battery mate... put his cap down on the ground,” Mathison related, "and Baldwin pitched 17 successive strikes over it, pitching alternately high and low balls. He then threw a wide one purposely and pitched 14 more suc­ cessive strikes." The September 1934 article con­ tinued; “The Hastings team had no catcher who could hold this farm boy pitcher, because padded ‘mitts’ hadn’t yet come on the market. A catcher's mitt then consisted of a thin kid glove, with the fingers cut off. The rest of the players played bare-handed... Someone heard of a young Irish lad over at Albion who could do the trick. His name was Jim McGuire, an iron-moulder by trade and just as tough and hard as the metal he handled. He was secured, made good, and Baldwin and McGuire became stellar lights in the National League firmament. No ordinary baseball team could begin to touch the torturous curves that Baldwin streaked across lhe plate. Great crowds used to attend those old games at the fairgrounds. Merchants would sometimes even close their stores when some of the games were on. But there was no 'fun' to watch so many onesided' games where Hastings would get anywhere from 20 to50 scores while the opponents would be lucky to secure even a single run. It hurt the attendance and it was found that stronger opposition would have to be secured. The Indianapolis team of the Western Association League came here. Being a well-known league team, it was naturally supposed that Hastings wouldn't stand a ghost of a show, but it did. It fooled lhe visitors. Even those big league fellows didn't connect with Baldwin's ‘curves’ much more suc­ cessfully than the local amateur teams. The visitors made three runs the first innings, mostly due to errors. But the game ended 4 to 3 in favor of the visitors. Next came lhe famous Pitt­ sburgh Browns, a professional team... with about the same results. The next year Baldwin signed with the Milwaukee league team, and from there to the Indianapolis team, which was later bought by lhe Detroit National League team. "Naturally," reported the 1934 article, Baldwin "was the ‘pride of Hastings' and his career closely watched." The only way to get a report of Baldwin's first game in big league company was lo get it by innings over lhe Western Union telegraph. That was done, local fans contributing. The wire reports by inning were delivered lo Busby Brothers Barber Shop, a little one-story shack on the north side of StateStreet, not far from where Millers (now River Bottom) store now is. There the score was painted across the windows in large figures. Was there a large crowd? Pity the one who attempted to use the sidewalk to pass by, and everybody standing there and gaping at the makeshift “scoreboard". The final score stood New York 1, Detroit 0. Even though he lost. Lady Baldwin had won and the daily papers lhe next morning paid glowing tribute to the prowess of a marvelous pitcher who came from the 'sticks' to hold the great New York team to one lone run; The Detroit papers hailed the advent of a mighty south-paw in flaring headlines, and from that day on, as long as he remained with Detroit, the an­ nouncement that ‘Baldwin will pitch’ brought great crowds of loyal fans... "It is no unusual thing today to see anywhere from two to six pitchers used in every game, but nothing like that TUI tub 1884 Milwaukee 1885 Detroit 1886 Detroit 1887 Detroit 1888 Detroit 1889 (Did not play) 1890 Brooklyn-Buffalo TOTALS ■4. KT 1-1 11-9 42-13 13-10 3-3 .500 .550 .765 .565 .500 73-41 .375 .640 ever happened 50 years ago (100 years now). Then if a pitcher started a game, he had to finish it regardless of his condition, how he fell, or how many extra innings it might require Today 119341 in the big leagues, a star baseball pitcher is regarded as a big asset. The idea is not to see how much work they can squeeze out of him. but how long they can help him continue his career... The wonder is that 50 years ago pit­ chers lasted as long as they did. Nature will stand just about so much, and overtaxing it exacts sure toll. “Today (September 12, 1934) as a well preserved man, 75 years of age, the fire of youth gone, one naturally would not recognize Charles Baldwin as the winner of a 15-game World's Championship series, and widely lauded as the winner of many other great battles on the ball diamond, performing feats still regarded as marvelous, one of the many being holding the strong Philadelphia league team scoreless for 44 innings (or nearly 5 games) in succession." Hastings Banner 1937 - "Dr. C.B. Long knew him (Baldwin) well as a boy. He sax. that many a time he had seen the fanrous ball player take a small stone and t^ke (remove) a fox scpirrel out of a tn e." From the Hasting Banner March 7. 1937: “Bom in York 'tate in April 1859, he was nearly 78 ye irs of age at lhe time of his passing... The arm that pitched him to national fame ’»*• ted for a couple of years under L' nard strain, then came the lameness 'nat the best experts of his day could not overcome. He left the game never to return though always retaining a keen interest in it..." “Mr. Baldwin was twice married, his first wife being Miss Dora Matthews, who died about 16 years ago. He was next married to Mrs. Amos Fausey nee Edith Barnum who survives him with his sister, Mrs. Nellie Wilkie..." One last article on Baldwin's death reported this additional information: “Baldwin, who played at the lime of Billy Sunday, Ned Hanlon, Charles Coniskey and Deacon White, retired from the game after a four-year meteoric career... In 1887 he won three of Detroit's necessary eight victories in a traveling World Series of 15 games with St. Louis. Baldwin hurled the deciding game."

Thirty-seven self-proclaimed "hackers" en­ joyed a sloppy joe lunch and later, amid great confustion, involved themselves in a scramble golf tournament. The gang includes (kneeling) Rollie Kemmerer and Wayne Pierce (first row) Warren Garlinger, Cedric Morey, Ed Storkan, Paul Siegel, Stan Baxter, Buzz Youngs, Alvey Havens, Hal Buerge, Howard Peters, Clayton Brandstetter, Hugh Stanlake, Leon Stander, Rudy Flora, Howard Tredinnick (second row) Darrel Hall, Dick Jacobs, Jack Hoke, Frank McMillan, Mort Bacon, Bob Lambert, Pete Lubieniecki, Homer Smith, Gerald Lawrence, Marsh Cook, John Mulligan (third row) Jack Kennedy, Darrel Aldrich, Bob Stanley, Lew Long, Don Fisher, Art Bateman, Glenn Powers, Mike Dorman, Lynn Perry, Del Loranger. With all due respect to Harper Creek, Hastings may have located the ideal spot to halt a disheartening three-game losing streak. After knocking heads with the Twin Valley's finest the last three weeks, the Saxon football team has a golden opportunity to slam one in the win column this Friday for the first time since Sept. 14. The Beavers, winless in five games, will be coming off a 36-12 shellacking administered by puzzling Albion. Saxon Coach Jeff Simp­ son hopes Harper Creek will be due for another whipping this weekend, but does advise caution. “Even though they are winless, Harper Creek will be pretty confident," he said. “They have nothing to lose and won’t be uptight. Plus they always have good success at home.’’ After tangling with the likes of Lakeview, Sturgis and Coldwater the last three weeks, is it any wonder the Saxons are looking forward to Harper Creek? “We had our best practice yesterday (Monday). The kids know the mistakes they make and it’s up to them to correct them," said Simpson. With the three-game losing skein, Hastings has fallen to 1-3 in the league and 1-4 overall. Hillsdale at 1-3 and Marshalland Albion at22 loom directly ahead of the Saxons in the Twin Valley standings. Thus Simpson’s goal of Hastings finishing third is slowly slipping away. "We need some knock offs by some of the other teams,” he said. “And it could hap­ pen." The immediate problem, hov'ever, is slipping past Harper Creek and the Saxons will have to do it without Mike Karpinski. The sophomore quarterback, who started the first four games of the season, had a couple of his fingers cut in a lawnmowing accident and will be out at least three more weeks and quite possibly the season. In his place will be senior Mike Matthews, last year’s starter. Matthews completed 2-of7 passes last week and Simpson said Mat­ thews played as well as could have been expected under the circumstances. Defense, not the lack of offense, will be a key this week against Harper Creek, said Simpson. Playing well against Coldwater, as usual, were Dave Kensington, Tim Hubert and Keith Stevens. As a team, though, the defense surren­ dered 302 yards on the ground and 322 total against the Cardinals. Those numbers will have to drop, said Simpeon. Other games of interest in the county in­ clude surprising Lakewood (4-1) at Jackson Lumen Christi, traditionally one of the leading state football powers in Class B. Maple Valley (2-2-1), whose hopes for a second straight SMAA title were dashed last week at St Philip, entertains Bronson in the Lions* homecoming tilt. Meanwhile, Middleville (3-2), who like Maple Valley had its league title hopes crushed last week, hopes to rebound at home against Byron Center. Delton (3-2), which ended a two-game losing streak last week against Mattawan, travels to Paw Paw this Friday. [ Sports (Banner photo) Rodee’s White still on top of B.I.E, League The Rodee’s White seventh and eighth grade football team traveled to Saranac Saturday to play a fine team there but with a strong offense and determined defense, the White lads came away with a 52-0 decision. Mason Christiansen once again led all scorers with three touchdown runs of 70, 52 and 27 yards while amassing 325 total yards on only 10 carries. Other scorers were Chad Murphy with one touchdown and 3 PAT’s. Mike Wright on an 8 yard pass from quarterback Brandon Wilder, Wilder on a 3 yd. run, and Jim Lenz on a 25 yd. pass from Wilder. Outstanding effort was put forth by Boyde Tobias, Jack Robert, Eric Pennock, David Pasche, Dan Pranska, Jamie Garrett, Joedy Planck, Chris Keizer, Jeremy Gross, John Dunklee, Thom Anderson, J.C. Keeler, and Tim Atkinson. The young men on the White team remain undefeated and on top of the B.I.E. League Sports..• at a glance by Steve Vedder Do you need glasses? It’s one of those unfortunate jobs where everybody thinks they can handle it better than the person who was trained to do the job. Sort of like holding a political office, being a cook, or, naturally, working as a sportswriter on a small town weekly. It doesn't matter how competently you execute your job, somebody out there is convinced they can do it better. For instance, like being a football coach. It seems every youngster over the age of seven is a natural "Monday Morning Quarterback." They spend their weekends devouring games, highlights, and replays. They pour over the magazines, newspapers, or odds sheets by the hour. They are self-proclaimed experts of the sport. More so, some of them believe, than the people actually paid to know how to coach. Jeff Simpson, the man paid to coach, fully realizes the hazards like go along with being a football coach, the pitfalls, the second guessing. He tries to take it all in stride...and usually does. "Oh yeah," grins Simpson of the Arm-Chair Quarterback-types. "Right now every coach gets second, third and fourth guessed. The fans can sit up in the stands and it looks so easy. "Fans see i lot of football and that says it all. They can become critical of what you're doing." What most fans fail to realize is the knowledge that coaches accumulate by watching hours of practicing, by pouring over miles of films and scouting reports, and by conducting endless skull sessions. Fans think they can judge a coach solely by what happens on a football field on any given Friday night. If the team wins, the coach is a genuis. If it doesn't, the coach is Larry, Mo and Curly wrapped into one. Actually, the fans that think that way have but half a brain. And that half apparently is rarely used. The only way to accurately judge a coach — any coach at any level — is to attend his practices and see what he sees. Observe how he handles his players, what he teaches them and what he tries to instill in them. “To really know, yes, you have to be at practice every day.” agrees Simp­ son. A coach is like a contestant on a fast­ moving game show, says Simpson. The contestant has only seconds to come up with the right answer or he’ll come away a loser. A coach has only a matter of seconds to make decisions and, granted, sometimes they’ll look painfully wrong. But unless the fan has watched a practice, fully realizes the situation, how can he judge what's right and what is wrong? The answer: he can't. Largely because of the number of Monday Morning Quarterbacks run­ ning around loose ready to offer their opinions, coaching can be a very frustrating occupation. To his credit, Simpson realizes the second-guessing is part of the game. "It doesn't bother me," he says with a shrug. "Everybody does it, even me when I'm watching a game.” But he's quick to add an excellent point. "The part that's frustrating on the high school level is the parents that are so into it they're on the players all the time. The players are not pros and they don't play right all the time," says Simpson. That leads to undo pressure on the players as well as the coach. Too much pressure, perhaps? "In some areas of the United States, yes, especially if the program is ex­ pected to produce a winning team." he says.“Here, 1 think the pressure is what I put on myself." What about pressure and the players? Only when winning is blown out of proportion, says Simpson. "The kids are conditioned to believe the only time they've done something right is when they win," says Simpson. "There are positive things that can come from losing that the fan fails to The true sports fan can see that. If you can't, get a pair of glasses. alone.

Middleville 49333 Success seems a little better during the week as the weekends keep the more popular sites very crowded. St. Joseph is having fairly good success in the river taking 4-8 kings per day with a few steelhead starting to show up. Pier fishing is picking up considerably for Chinook, Steelhead and Brown trout South Haven - About the s: ie as St Joseph. Many pi • fishermen are out, es[ ecially on weekends. Saugatuck - Good pier fishing for coho, chinook and a few steelhead. Fast trolling in the river is producing some good catches of coho. Also some fish can be caught in 180 feet of water down 85105 feet. Hunting Saturday’s waterfowl opener was great! A lot of hunters were out and success was excellent. We are seeing a good many teal, wood ducks, mallards and even a few bluebillE in the area. Canadian geese are also in good supply throughout the area. Remember - The season closes after the 4th and will re-open Oct. 13. Grouse and woodcock numbers remain at last year's depressed levels. There is still opportunities however for those willing to search out the best habitat. Deer populations are up. Yesterday's bow and arrow opener went real well. There are many hungers and the weather cooperated very nicely. About half a dozen deer have been checked in through this station so far nothing spectacular to report yet.

The United States Department of Agriculture predicts that 19 million bushels of Michigan apples will be picked this year Parking ban starts October 15 The Hastings City Police Department will start enforcement of the city’s 2 a.m. to 6 a m. street parking ban on October 15.

The caseworker would be involved for a tran­ sition period after the closing, he added. At the county board meeting, Nida told commissioners that the Probate-Juvenile Division's child care fund is “approximately $21,000 over budget for the rest of the year" and the closing of the Mitchel Home would be one way to help cut costs down the line. "This is the first year we've been over budget,' he said in the interview. “We've had some expensive placements working with special needs kids." Nida told the board that until now the Mitchell Home has “been successful and cost efficient since it opened in May of 1979 for 1317 year old males. Commissioner Carolyn Coleman said she thought the board should concur with the closing, “if it's not saving money." Commissioner Rae M. Hoare told Nida, “You’ve done an excellent job. But it has reached a point that it’s not cost effective and I agree that you should dose it."

Mitchell House Continued from page 1 THANK YOU This year, In an effort to alleviate the massive “traffic jam" In the corridors at Central Auditorium, WBCH is moving the food sampling, displays and booths to a separate location...at the nearby cafeteria at Hastings Junior High School. This phase of Home­ makers School *84 will be known as IDEARAMA and will be held from 4:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. on November 13th. The Junior High School Is located less than half a block from the auditorium, so parking and walking to either or both events should not be a problem. Rodee's will also be selling sandwiches at the Jr. High Cafeteria location for those who wish to grab a bite to eat before the evening program. The important thing for those who will be attending both the afternoon and evening shows to remember is that you should arrive at Idearama early enough to allow adequate time to see everything and enjoy the food samples. At least 45-60 minutes should be planned on at the Cafeteria for Idearama! This ysar two separate types of tickets will bs nquirad for admission to the Idearama which starts at 4:00 p.m. and the Homemakers School which starts at 7M p.m. While the supply lasts, each local participating Homemakers Schoo^dearama sponsor will have a limited number of free tickets to give away, if they're gone, please ask for your compli­ mentary tickets at another sponsors location. Merely ask for a free ticket to Idearama or the Homemakers SchooL.or both.

Superintendent Stereo 100 �Page 12 — The Hastings Banner - Thursday, October 11,1984 Bender calls Proposal C “sledgehammer approach” by Robert .1. Johnston Calling Proposal C a 'sledgehammer approach" that is not practical. Rep. Robert Bender. R-Middleville, voiced his opposition to the Voter's Choice Amendment to the Michigan Constitution. Bender made his remarks, Monday, at the monthly legislative breakfast sponsored by the Hastings Area Chamber of Commerce at McDonald's restaurant. The amendment will appear as Proposal C on the Nov. 6 ballot. If approved, the amendment would rollback all taxes to 1981 levels unless they are approved by a vote of the people. New taxes would have to be approved by a vote of the people. License, user or permit fees increased since 1981 would be void unless approved by a vote of the people or four-fifths of the legislative body. Local income tax levies would be limited to .5 percent. Conceding that opposition by government officials and legislators is not likely to in­ fluence voters against the proposal. Bender encouraged citizens attending the breakfast to voice their opposition to the proposal to other voters. “If people are dissatisfied with the way the legislators tax and spend, then they can change that at the polls,'* Bender said. "If you don't like a representive, throw him out. You can do that now." Bender said that the recall of two senators in November for their income tax votes was a good example of how people can change their representation. "The system does work,” he continued. “We're coming up to an election now.” Calling the business climate in Michigan “rotten", Bender said that Proposal C would further hurt business in the state. He con­ tended that future taxes that are voted in by the people would more likely be levied on businesses than on people. He added that Proposal C would also undo some of the positive steps dealing with the single business tax and unemployment compensation that have been taken lo im­ prove the business climate. Appearing with Bender at the breakfast was Roger Cline, aide to Sen. Robert Welborn. R-Kalamazoo. Cline said that Proposal C would greatly hurt the road maintenance and improvement projects in the state by cutting the gas tax lo its 1981 level. Cline said that because most road projects are undertaken using 95 percent federal money matched by five percent state money, the state would lose much more than the amount cut in taxes. “We might save $5,000 to the people, but lose $95,000 from the federal government," Cline said Bender added that a strict i nterpretation of Proposal C might require a vote of the people before a school board could raise the price of football tickets. He said that questions will arise about raising tuition rates for state universities because if a referendum is required it is uncertain who could vote. The representative added that because Detroit would have to reduce its income tax rales, it is likely that the pressure on the state government to increase its aid to Detroit would increase. -Estimates show that the state would $700 million in income in 1985 and $1 billion in 1986, a 20 percent reduction, Bender said. "We get a fair amount of complaints about taxes,” Bender continued, "but we get far more complaints about services of the state not being done well I see a discrepancy there, because if the people want services', they have to pay for them." Passage of Proposal C would also cause interest rates paid by the state to Increase, he said. "Either money would be so expensive to borrow or it wouldn't be available at all," he said. Speaking after the meeting, Hastings school Superintendent Carl A. Schoessei said that the school district would lose $272,482 in revenues just from a millage rollback caused by the state's "Truth in Taxation" law. Schoessei said that it would take a vote of the people to bring the millage levy up to its Delton school board opposes ‘Proposal C’ During the same evening of its regular Monday meeting, the Delton Kellogg Board o( Education heard good news about voter approval of needed operational millage and some bad news about the financial hardships Proposal C would inflict upon the district if it is approved by state voters in November. Superintendent Dr. John Sanders said that Proposal C, if approved, would cost the Delton district in the neighborhood of $266,000 because of a projected loss in state aid and a projected delay in those state payments which would necessitate paying interest to borrow more funds to ease complex cash flow problems. Consequently, the Delton board Monday adopted a resolution opposing Proposal C. Also known as the Voter’s Choice Amend­ ment, Proposal C would rollback all taxes to 1981 levels unless they are approved by a vote of the people. In addition, all new taxes, including increases in cigarette, liquor, and other such taxes would have to be approved by a vote of all the people in the state. The proposal also calls for increased license, SERVICE DIRECTORY LAWNMOWERS & CHAIN SAWS 7 v WOODLANDS Sales and Service IHMMB1CMM ttW KPMt (M Un | M WET WASH -CARS - VANS ■ PKXUPS HEATING & AIR CONDITIONING anai ___ LEISURE _____ Farrell’s MUTING tCOOUNS 802 East Grond Street Hastings Ph. 945-4020 COOUNG-HEAING Area for 10 Years * HARDWARE For the Bost PricM...on Quality Offset Printing... l»IH AVtNUI SHftBWMU current level. Schoessei added that the biggest unknown about Proposal C is what it would do to state aid lo local school districts when the state revenues are cut.

Proposal C would cut $15 billion dollars out of the state's general fund, said Sanders. That would mean a severe loss of dollars that would normally go to slate aid. he added. Sanders said the Michigan Association of School Boards also opposes Proposal C as well as many major industries such as General Motors and Kellogg. In other business, the board. —Heard the unofficial Fourth Friday enrollment count upon which state aid is based. Total enrollment in the district is 1,936 — down from last year's 2,006. The state aid reimbursement figure for this year is 1,931 because five pupils are special education students who are excluded from reim­ bursement. A breakdown of the enrollment figures include 622-students in the high school; 587 in the middle school; 713 in the elementary; and 13 in adult education. Kindergarten and first grade enrollments are higher than last year, Sanders said. —Authorized borrowing $357,500 against anticipated tax collections (due to approval of operating millage Monday) to meet a cash flow problem that the district normally experiences at this time of the year.

While there they took advantage of over 80 workshops and tours designed to enhance classroom skill* and tech­ niques. The theme for the seminar was "Advancing Public Education. Two mombora from lh« Hatting, School, and two member, from the Barry Intermediate School District made p -sentations at the conference. They were (top) Sue Drummond of the Barry I.S.D. talking on Integrating the Aris Into the Total Curriculum* and ’Creativity and Problem-Solving*, Ann Lauderdale of the Barry I.S.D (left) talking on 'The Underachieving Gifted Child', and Paul Simon of the Hastings Schools (right) talking or. 'Junior High Art*. Not shown is Jack Bender of the Hastings Schools who talked on 'Peripherals and Software for the Apple*. The Hastings Board of Education amended the 1984-85 budget, Monday, to show a $186,238 deficit between projected revenues and expenditures. The deficit will have to be covered by funds remaining from last year's budget. The amended budget raised the ex­ penditures by $37,962 from $8,370,239 to $8,408,201 but dropped the revenues by $293,325 from $8,515,288 to $8,221,963. Most of the drop in revenues is the result of an enrollment decrease in adult education which had not been foreseen. The decrease came from changes in the rules of the state Department of Social Services no longer requiring school attendence for some people receiving aid. The drop in enrollment from 3.788 projected in June to the actual count of 3,574 students caused a drop of $306,069 in projected slate aid money, Superintendent Carl A. Schoessel said. Schoessel said that other changes in the budget were due to revenue increases from property taxes and funds from the Job Training Partnership Act. Adult education expenditures were cut by $93,000 due to the enrollment decline, while K-12 expenditures were raised by $94,000, primarily due to an increase of 59 students from the projected number. The superintendent said that the budget problem is compounded by the fact that it costs much less to educate adult students than the amount received in state aid, therefore only $93,000 could be cut from the ‘budget while more than $300,000 was lost in aid. Schoessel said that the deficit in the budget will be made up from the fund balance from 1983-84, whichstoodat $678,048 on June30. He said that an additional $100,000 is expected from a $28 per student state aid bonus for meeting certain curriculum requirements. He added that he expects about $10,000 in additional federal and state funds. "1 guess this just shows how precarious the school budget is,” Diane Hoekstra, board president, said at the meeting. "We are subject to so many external forces." Schoessel said that the board expects to amend the budget quarterly because of the many changes. Board member George Wibalda, the longest sitting member of the board, urged caution to other board members. Wibalda voted against the budget when it was originally adopted because it included funding for ninth grade athletics, which had not been specified as an addition to the budget in last year's millage proposal. Monday night, Wibalda again expressed his dissatisfaction by voting against the per­ sonnel report which included two ninth grade coaching positions. "I guess what bothers me is that our old budget was $8.3 million and our new one is even more with the loss of revenue." he said. Schoessel said that he was bothered also, but many items, such as textbooks, had already been ordered and received. "I only point these things out because of my years on the board when things were bad ” Wibalda continued. "It makes me careful not to get us into the position we were in before." Richard Shaw, board secretary, agreed with Wibalda, saying, “I think we need to be very conservative with our spending." Schoessel said later that he doesn't expect a similar budget problem next year because the administrators will be better able to project student enrollment now that they know the Department of Social Services new rules. Contracts ratified with bus drivers, food service workers by Norma Acker Hastings bus drivers will receive a 12.9 per cent salary increase over a three-year period in a new contract approved by the Hastings Board of- Education at Monday night's meeting. In addition, food service workers will receive a 3.85 per cent raise Ina separate contract. Superintendent Carl A. Schoessel said the board will pay bus drivers maximum new money increases of 3.9 per cent the first year, 4.3 the second, and 4.2 the third year of the new contract. Schoessel said a new incentive pay scale based on job attendance is included in the yearly increases. He explained that if a driver is at work every day during a twoweek pay period he or she will receive an extra 15 cents per hour during the first year of the contract, 30 cents per hour during the second year, and 45 cent during the third. "Our desire is to have our people working,” said Schoessel. "We want our regular people there because they know the students and the routes. This is not to say that we don't have good substitute drivers." He noted that anothe major change in the contract was the implementation of a step pay schedule in place of longevity pay. Schoessel said the step pay schedule recognizes experience but is more progressive. The step pay schedule is a base hourly rate of pay which reflects years of experience. The schedule is as follows: 1-5 years...... $7.35 6-9 years. $7.45 10-11 years....$7.65 12-15 years....$7.80 over 15 years..$7.95 In the last contract those drivers who had 10-14 years of experience received 5 per cent ot their total annual wage in longevity pay at the end of each year while drivers with 15 or more years of experience received 10 per cent. Schoessel said the other language changes or areas of clarification include the right of the board of education to dismiss a driver at any time during the 180 hour probationary Continued on Pago 2 3 candidates wage write-in campaigns Campaigning for political office is no easy task, but it’s even more complex if your name is not on the ballot. R.C. “Pefe" Dull is seeking the super­ visor’s post in Baltimore Township via a write in campaign. In Barry County, two men whose names do not appear on the Nov. 6 general election ballot have decided to take on the challenge of conducting write-in and sticker campaigns to run for the office of supervisor in two dif­ ferent townships. R.C. "Pete" Dull is running as a write-in candidate for the supervisor’s post in Baltimore Township and Larry Carpenter is seeking election to the office of supervisor via a sticker campaign or write-in candidate in Assyria Township. Both men were defeated for nomination as candidates in the August primary. Running as a Republican, Dull lost by only six-votes in the primary against incumbent Republican Wayne Miller. That narrow margin is one of the reasons Dull is going to bat again in the general election. "I should have asked for a re-count, but didn't," he said. The major reason, he’s seeking election as a write-in candidate "is so many people called me or stopped me on the street to ask me to run,” said Dull. "A chance to help people is my number one priority" for running, he said. "I think we should keep control at the local level as much as possible.” Dull, who is associated with Lewis Realty in Hastings, has served four-years on the Baltimore Township Board of Review. He's been chairman of the supervisor’s com­ mittee for the Thomapple Valley CreditUnion and has held a union post with Local' 414. During his 30-years with the Masons, he has served as master, high priest and commander. He said he realized a write-in campaign is "an uphill battle. I've got a lot of ground to cover...I'm going to visit as many people as possible. 19-year-old Hastings man arrested for break-in of Frantz Buick and Chevrolet A 19-year-old Hastings man was arrested early Sunday morning after he allegedly broke into a local car dealership, stole a truck, and drove it through a garage door Scott Kelley Spillane, Walnut Street, demanded exam in Barry District Court Monday on charges of breaking and entering of a building, drunk driving, and leaving the scene of an accident, in connection with the theft of a truck from Frantz Buick and Chevrolet on S. Hanover Street. Spillane’s exam is set for Oct. 22 al 10 a m. Bond for Spillane was set by Barry District Court Judge Gary Holman at $5,000 cash or surety for the breaking and entering charge, and $100 each for drunk driving and leaving the scene of an accident. Hastings City Police arrested Spillane about 2 a.m. Sunday after a S. Hanover Street resident called police to complain about a truck driving over his lawn. Ac­ cording to police reports, Spillane gained Continued on Page 2 "I'm encouraging people that if they want to, they can write R.C. "Pete" Dull in the Democrat or Independent column" for the office of supervisor. A state election specialist has told the Barry County Clegk's office that in the general election write-in votes under more than one party heading would count towards the total number of votes cast for a candidate as long as it was cast for that office (in this case, the supervisor’s office). Dull said he has 700-stickers ordered with his name imprinted on them, but he added that sometimes the use of stickers present problems when used on the aromatic voting machines. In Assyria Township, Norman Stanton is heading the sticker campaign to return Larry Carpenter to the post of supervisor. Carpenter is Assyria’s current supervisor and has held the post for nearly four years. However, Carpenter was defeated by a vote of 198-93 in the August primary by former supervisor and county commissioner Jack Love. Because just slightly more than 200-voters turned out in the primary, Stanton said a group of citizens wanted to support Car­ penter again in a write-in (sticker) cam­ paign for next month's election. "A lot of folks didn't realize there would be much of a contest (between Love and Car­ penter in the primary)," said Stanton. "A few days after the primary, there were a lot of people concerned so we organized a committee." Carpenter “has the support of the town board 100-percent and he’s conducted the duties of supervisor in a good, orderly manner.” said Stanton. "Another good credit is that he has been a good assessor and has township property assessed in a fair and equitable manner." Stanton said he got involved in Carpenter's sticker campaign because “I fell that he's the man in there and has things under control and we should keep him there.” A committee of five persons plus other volunteers are working on Carpenter’s re­ election sticker campaign which will include the placement of advertisements and posters plus sending letters to voters in the township and campaigning door-to-door. The group plans to distribute information on how to use the stickers to cast a vote for Carpenter and Stanton adds that people can write-in Carpenter’s name if they don’t want to use a sticker. Stanton admits that a write-in campaign is complicated, "but the ones that are involved think it’s worth it and that's what counts.” Catherine Lucas of Woodland is one person who knows that a write-in campaign can be successful. In the August primary, she was nominated by 17-write-in votes to run as a Democratic candidate for the office of Woodland Township Clerk. Consequently, her name will appear on the November general election ballot. Lucas said she had no intentions of seeking office until she was approached by a group of citizens while she was attending a meeting. She agreed to run, but it was discovered that the deadline had already passed (by fourdays) for submitting petitions to put her name on the ballot. About a month later, a group of supporters said they wanted to conduct a write-in campaign for Lucas. She actually received more than the 17votes that were counted, but because of technical errors made by some voters, not all were able to be tallied. Casting write-in votes on absentee ballots is much easier than on the voting machines, she said. According to a state handbook for election inspectors in the county clerk's office, votes on absentee ballots for write-ins may be made by crossing out the printed candidate's name for a particular office and writing in another name, but an "X" must appear in the cirlce al the head of the parly ticket or in the square before the candidate's name. In the case of using printed stickers on absentee ballots, a slicker may be placed over the name on the ballot for that particular office and an “X" placed in the proper place before the sticker. On automatic voting machines, sticker or writer-in votes can be cast by pasting or writing the name of a candidate in the proper slot provided for that purpose at the top of the machine. Voters should make sure that they have opened the correct slot for the office the write-in or sticker candidate is seeking before they proceed. Incumbent Supervisor Lorry Corpenter is a sticker campaign hopeful in Assyria Township to retain his post. A successful write-in campaign in the August primary put Catherine Lucos on the ballot for next month s general elec­ tion. �Page 2— The Hastings Bonner— Thursday, October 10, 1984 VIEWPOINT: Commentaries from our editorial staff and the community — Proposal B: Proposal B on the Nov. 6 ballot wifl'provide constitutional protection for the Michigan Natural Resources Trust Fund. The fund would be used to purchase land or rights in land for public recreation, of en­ vironmental importance, or-.of)(particular scenic beauty. The fund could also be used to develop recreation facilities and to pay for ad­ ministration of the fund. Proposal B would also create the Natural Resources Trust Fund Board to recommend projects for the approval of the legislature. If the proposal is adopted, it would amend the state constitution to prevent the legislature from diverting money from the fund, established in 1976 with royalties and lease fees from gas, oil and mineral production on state-owned lands. Since 1976, the legislature has dipped into the fund (currently called the Kammer Recreational Trust Fund) on four occasions to provide cash for what were called fiscal emergencies. Supporters of Proposal B say that the legislative raids of the fund have cost it $142 million. They say that if the legislature had kept its hands off the fund, it would have reached its statuatory maximum of $150 million by now so that only the interest and earnings would be needed for future land purchases while the additional revenues ac­ cruing to the state from royalties and lease fees would have been turned over to the general fund. Today the fund stands at $8 million. Money from the fund has been used to acquire more than 35,000 acres of choice recreational, scenic and environmentally important land during the eight years of its existence. If Proposal B is approved, the Kammer Fund would become the Michigan Natural Resources Trust Fund with minor changes. The cap for the fund wouldbe raised from $150 million to $200 million. The principle underlying Proposal B is that money coming to the state from extraction of ‘‘nonrenewable'’ resources should be used only for long-term benefits and not spent on immediate but temporary short-term programs. Because these resources are nonrenewable, supporters of Proposal B say that the benefits the people of Michigan receive from them should be lasting ones. Anyone who visits Yankee Springs State Park or the Barry and Middleville State Game Areas knows that demand for outdoor recreation is steadily increasing. As years go by, recreation land in Michigan becomes more expensive. Much of the existing state-owned land came to the state as a result of nonpayment of taxes during the Depression years. A checkerboard pattern of ownership often exists which makes it difficult for people using the land to know when they are on public or private land. A long established policy of the Department of Natural Resources has been to purchase land that would fill in the checkerboard, but money has not been available. ...... We see good reasons for supporting Proposal B. Ittmakes sense to use money from gas, oil and mining leases and royalties to develop our recreation lands. We agree that money generated from state lands should be used for further development of the lands. An important point is that no tax dollars will be used to support the program. Tourism is Michigan's third-leading industry, contributing $11 billion to the state’s economy each year and providing 253,000 jobs to Michigan citizens. Investment in recreation lands is an investment in the tourism industry of the future. Barry County has been working to capitalize on the tourism industry and support of this program could have long-term benefits here where we already have 23,000 acres of state land which are fully used. We have to admit that we are uncomfortable with the fact that it is necessary to place a fund into the state constitution to protect it from the legislature. We hope that Proposal B doesn’t produce similar ef­ forts to put the Veterans Trust Fund and state pension funds into the constitution. The constitution shouldn't be used set the budget for the state. But Proposal B protects nioney generated from state property and should be supported as an exception to the rule. ------- j-vr r ■inb <■ Contract, cont. period, and the es’ablishmenl of separate seniority lists for regular and substitute drivers. Michael Hallifax, president of the bus drivers association, said that this is the longest and most detailed contract the bus drivers have ever had. Hallifax said the 30 eligible voting drivers ratified the contract by an approximate three quarter vol® after a three-hour meeting last Thursday. He said the drivers gave up cost of living and received no increases in vacation time or hospitality benefits. Currently a bus driver must work four hours daily to be eligible for hospitalization benefits. Hallifax noted the only “gain" in the area of job security was that a person returning from an extended sick leave must be rein­ stated in the position he or she held orior to leaving. He also said the incentive pay is another approach to longevity and was in effect a trade. 1>.• “The negotiations went real well and were very professional," Hallifax said. h The board also approved a two-yeaf contract with the school food service' workers, who are affiliated with the AFL-"* ■ CIO. Schoessel said the board will pay 3.85 per cent in new money under this contract. "We eliminated the cost of living allowance and went to straight pay raises," Schoessel said. Hourly wages for general help will range from $4.27 to $6.18. Assistant cooks will be paid $6.52 per hour, bakers $6.61 and cooks $7.19. The accountant will be paid $6.45 per hour, Schoessel said. He added that other language changes in the contract include clauses for no sympathy strikes, no strike or lock-out, and work study programs for special education students. “Negotiations were conducted with both groups in a very positive way." said Schoessel.

Police now have description of bogus DSS employee Law enforcement officials here believe they have a description of an individual who has been posing as a Department of Social Senices worker, and attempting to talk DSS clients around the state into giving up (heir children to him. The suspect is described as a white male, about 30-years-old, 5-foot-2-inches to 5-foot-5inches in height, and 250 to 300 pounds, clean shaven, with dark hair, and a mole on his upper right lip. Lt. Richard Zimmerman, commander of the Michigan State Police team in Hastings, said two Barry County residents who have been approached by the suspect since August aided a detective Tuesday in drawing composite sketches of the suspects. Zimmerman said the victims, neither of whom gave their children up. gave like descriptions of the suspect, though one said the suspect was a woman, and the other claimed the suspect was a man. “When you look at the composite sketches side by side, it's easy to ascertain that the male suspect and the female suspect are one and the same person." said Zimmerman. Zimmerman said the suspect recently made three visits to a Middleville woman over a six week period, the most recent visit coming last week. The woman described the susnect as a man. and said he tried to force his way into her home once, and left with the warning "Don't tell anyone I was here I'll come back and take your children," said Zimmerman. The first incident in Barty County came last August, when a subject identified as a woman approached the home of an Orangville woman, identified "herself" as a DSS worker, and attempted io take the victim s children away, said Zimmerman. Zimmerman said that thesuspect was seen driving a different vehicle in each reported visit. One of the cars is described as red. twodoor, medium sized, with a customized front license plate that reads "Gonna Get Ya". Composite sketches of two different descriptions of the bogus DSS worker proparod by Hastings City Police Detective Dona Sleldle. lead police to believe one male subject is involved.

Hastings City Police officers stopped LETTERS to the Editor: Reader feels abortion “Is a crime” To the Editor: There has been much written about abortion, pro and con. I can’t help but make one additional point which may have been mentioned, although I haven't read it. I wonder if the proponents of abortion would ak;o allow citizens the “right" to mutilate and kill adults and children out of the womb. What's the dif­ ference? This is more than a moral or “religious" issue. The fact that murder is a crime is the law of the land, and one of God’s Ten Com­ mandments. Physicians from the American College of Obstetrics and Gynecology concur that the fetus “does" suffer pain when aborted. It should not be the right of the mother, or anyone else, to commit this heinous crime against another human being. Did you ever stop to think that you too could have been aborted? Helen V. Grogan Hastings Henry candidacy given high mark by reader To the Editor: For the past several years I have been employed by the state of Michigan, working in the prison system.

That person is Paul Henry, now running for the U.S. Congress to replace retiring Hal Sawyer. His concern for prison reform and state workers in those prisons are part of why I think Paul Henry is the best person we can send to Washington as our next congressman. Steadily, without a lot of headline grabbing, he has worked to see that the problems of prison understaffing, prison overcrowding, and poor programs are dealt with. He served on the special Prison Distruba nee Task Force after the riots at the Ionia Reformatory, and has been one of the few legislators who has taken the time to regularly listen and act on our concern with what happens behind prison walls. For these and many others reasons. I'm voting for Paul Henry on Nov. 6. William J. Roush by Steve Horton A Barry County Industry Luncheon and Show is being planned by the Joint Economic Development Commission (JEDC) on Thursday, Nov. 1, at the Hastings Moose Lodge. That announcement was made this week by Joan Foster, Director of the JEDC. The show is the first of a multi-part program— funded through a $12,239 grant from the federal Jobs Partnership Training Act— which is designed to promote and assist business development in the county. The grant was written by the JEDC and awarded by the Mid Counties Consortium. The Barry County Board of Com­ missioners and the Hastings City County, partners in the JEDC, have both agreed to pick up any incidental costs in administering the program. The theme of the Industry Show— headed by retired E.W. Bliss executive Herm Bottcher— is “How Can Barry County Industries Help Each Other In Providing Needed Competitive Services". To that end Foster and Bottcber said the show will have “only two purposes": —to allow the 38 Barry County industrial firms to show their products and services to each other and thereby promote intra-county business. There will be product displays, along with sales and purchasing represen­ tatives on hand to aid this process. —to announce and detail a series of training opportunities planned this fall and winter for the entire business community. Foster noted that four of these training seninars are planned and include ‘How to Teach a Job Workshop', ‘Group Problem Solving', ‘Leading Group Problem Solving' and ‘Statistical Process Control'. The Barry County Intermediate School District has been retained to set up these workshop segments. The first one will instruct participants on the most effective method for teaching a job. “This is ideal for supervisors, set-up people, lead people and trainers." said Foster. The second seminar will introduce par­ ticipants. and allow them to practice, the process of group problem solving. The third one will also deal with group problem solving, but will provide extra emphasis for those required to lead such a team. The final segment is a 56-hour college credit course taught in Hasting by Kellogg Community College. Its purpose is to give participants added managerial tools for solving a wide variety of business problems. The overall jest of the seminars, noted in the JEDC grant application, is to enhance employer teaching methods and thereby employee learning, improve various problem solving processes, and improve productivity and reduce waste. The grant to fund this program runs from Sept. 17 to March 30. The JEDC sought the federal funds to aid in its ongoing priority of industrial retention. Additional information on the entire program is available by contacting Joan Foster at the JEDC office, 115 S. Jefferson St., Hastings, MI. 49058. The phone number is 945-2454. Fire consumes pole bam Fire officials said sparks from a welder may have touched off an early morning blaze that destroyed a pole barn on Heath Road Sunday. Three units from the the Hastings Fire Department responded to the 1:07 a.m. at the Paul Watson residence, 3495 Heath Road. According to reports, the 24-foot by 30-foot structure was fully involved when firetrucks arrived. PUBLIC OPINION: Is Age An Issue? Local farmers endorse Henry campaign To the Editor: Farmers in this area have had a difficult time recently for a number of reasons, mostly through high interest rates and low farm prices. Our situation has been hurt by other government practices, including the Carter grain embargo and pressure for protectionist trade policies. To help us fight for a fair shake in Washington, farmers need a congressman who understands their problems. I think Paul Henry will be that kind of Congressman. It's true that Paul Henry has been en­ dorsed by the Michigan Farm Bureau, the Michigan Milk Producers, and other farmer groups. But he also knows that things like unbalanced budgets and protectionist trade policies hurt farmers badly. He has had to balance the state budget in Lansing, and he's done so without raising taxes. He opposes trade policies which, if put in place, could cut off much of the farm export market and further lower farm prices. He has experience we can trust. I hope that those involved in agriculture, as many of us are, will join me in supporting Paul Henry for Congress. ftteHair, Kenneth Nielsen, Irwin Heidrick, and Alton Mick ..NOTE; There will not be any en­ dorsements for any candidates published aftor (he Oct. 25 issue .....

Branch and Calhoun Counties. Again, thank you. Rose Ann Makowski August Lusfoy Until the first presidential debate between Walter Mondale and Ronald Reagan, the Democrats and the media have been reluctant to bring up Reagan's age as an issue in the 1984 campaign. However, the debate found the President appearing tired and even confused at times, and since then, age has been mentioned in terms of the President’s ability to lead. Do you feel that age Is a legitimate issue? Neva Mallekoote. Hastings: “No, I don't. I think Reagan is the man for the job. Mondale and Ferraro don't impress me at all...and I'm not worried about the next four years <under Reagan)." Scott VanderVeen, Hastings: "I don't think age is that big an issue. <Reagan) has enough staff assistance to influence his policies." Deb Logan, tuike Odessa: “Yes, I think it would be an issue, but not so much that it would concern me a lol.” August Lustey. Hastings: "Age is no issue. Sometimes it's better to be older. Reagan's done a good job." Letha West, Hastings: “No. I don't (think age should be an issue). I don't think Reagan came off looking tired or confused at the debate, from what I saw. That had nothing to do with his performance." Lloyd Sensiba. Hastings: “Well, it depends on their health (whether age should be an issue). Ifa person's health is good. 1 don't see any reason why age should be an issue. I think Reagan is doing alright." Kathy Weyermnn, Cloverdale: “No. I don* t (think age should be an issue). Reagan, so far. has done a good job and I think he should be there for another term." Ellen Hartwell. Hastings: "So far as I know, he (Reagan) is doing a good job. But. 1 think that when a person gets to be 80 that's old enough A person that age can't think as good as a younger person. (For President), I think someone in the 60s is old enough." �The Hastings Banner — Thursday.

Mr. and Mrs. Ellis Kilpatrick of Levering, a great-grandson of Hugh Kilpatrick and a grandson of Elmer Kilpatrick, attended Kilpatick Church this Sunday morning. Hugh Kilpatrick was a younger brother of John Kilpatrick, who was the original settler of the southeast corner of Woodland Township and was also the founder of Kilpatrick Church. After John had a spent a few years alone in the wilderness that was Woodland Township in the 1830's, he returned to Scotland and brought his father, brothers and sisters with him back to America. After a lew years, brother Hugh moved to Levering where he raised a very large family and now has many dercendents. Boln John and Hugh are buried in the Woodland Township Cemetery. Mr. Kilpatrick said on Sunday that he had always wanted to visit Kilpatrick Church once in his life and. as he is now around 80, he came this week. A new Woodland Community Education aide has been appointed to replace Marilyn Flessner. She is Noreen Enz. Mrs. Enz arranged a blood pressure clinic that was held at the Woodland School Library on Oct. 8. One will be held on the second Monday of each month during the school year from 3:30 to 5 p.m. The Woodland Village Council met last Monday evening at the village offices on Main Street. Present were Les Forman, president; Christy Moffatt, clerk; Nancy Stowell, treasurer; and Cliff Mattson, Jeannie Hill, Mike Winkler, Russell Lind and Glendon Curtis, trustees. The council discussed the repair work being done on the village streets at the present time and the necessity of appointing a replacement for Bonnie Mattson as trustee. Mrs Mattson is moving to Holt this month. Applications will be accepted by the council at their next regular meeting. They can be turned in to any council member by any village resident who is interested in serving on the council. The village council will hold a special budget meeting next Monday evening. On Sunday -afternoon tawrence and llildrcd Chase were the guests of Aaron and Dorothy Davis at the Davis home near Marshall. The Davises came to Barry County last year to interview the Chases prior to their induction into the Michigan Farmers Hall of Fame. Mr. and Mrs. Davis took the Woodland Chases to a restaurant near Marshall for dinner, then the two couples spent the remainder of the afternoon going over old photographs and scrapbooks belonging to both families. Hildred said that it was a very nice afternoon. The Kilpatrick Brethren Church Missionary Society held its monthly freewill offering dinner last Wednesday. There were 32 people at the meal.

Each dinner will be at 11:30 a.m. The bazaar held at Zion Lutheran Church last Saturday was considered a success. All the food that had been prepared was sold, and it was delicious. A large amount of the craft items that had been made and donated were sold, although not nearly all. The items that were left over will be returned to the makers, and they will decide in each case whether they wish to retain them, donate them to the large Lutheran bazaar held annually in a mall in lensing later in the fall, or donate them to the Lakewood CommunityCouncil for their Friendship Festival or for their Christmas baskets. Probably most of the handknitted items, which were priced surprisingly low, will go to the Christmas baskets. Gene Rising is back home after a few days in Pennock Hospital where he was treated for an abdominal problem. Margaret Brodbeck is still on crutches from the accident that occurred in the Labor Day parade in Woodland, but she is getting another better now. Woodland Methodist Church Women are still working diligently for their Fall Festival which will include both a dinner and a supper and will be held at the church on Oct. 17. Crafts and homemade foods and handmade items will be on sale all day. Evelyn Frost of East Lansing spoke at Zion Lutheran Church following the Sunday morning worship service about the history, content and method of the SEARCH Bible Study Program. Mrs. Frost was involved in the early planning of this program which was designed to meet a need of modem Lutherans because many Lutheran women all over the nation were joining other Bible Study groups and dropping out of ALCW. She has lately been involved in the SEARCH program al University Lutheran Church in East Lansing. Her talk was interesting and informative. Next Sunday someone will make a presentation about another Bible study series called the Bethel Series. Later, the congregation will decide if they wish to begin either of these lay-led series at Zion Church. IwhetfueiMfl MEW CULLIGAN MAN RUSS DENKER Former owner Tom Frenfhway SAME LOCATION ... 313 N.

South Jefferson Street News HOLIDAY WEEK Treatment Klants to old tours The week of Oct. 21-27 has been designated by Governor Blanchard as Michigan’s First Annual Water Quality Awareness Week. The purpose of this observance is to promote the public's interest and education in water pollution control. Clean water is everyone’s concern. ^Michigan's water resources are vital to the economic well being of the State. In order to protect this resource, hundreds of wastewater treatment facilities operate con­ tinuously in order to meet standards set by the Michigan Department of Natural Resources. These facilities range from small prefabricated systems for an electroplating operation or small residential subdivision to large, highly sophisticated facilities for larger in­ dustries and cities. Each treatment facility utilizes unique processes to treat tbrir wastewater. Water Quality Awareness Week is sponsored by the Michigan Water Pollution Control Association (MWPCA), an organization working for the preservation and enhancement of Michigan's water resources. It is comprised of over 1250 individuals from industries, municipalities, consulting engineers, equipment and chemical suppliers and other organizations, all of wliom are involved in the proper treatment and disposal of municipal and industrial wastewaters in Michigan. In recognition of this week local wastewater treatment facilities have invited the public to tour their treat­ ment plants. For lour in­ formation contact Leon Frith at the Nashville Wastewater Treatment Plant (852-9571) or Darrell Carr at the Hastings Wastewater Treatment Plant 945-3083.

The general policy notes that "Active participation in safety procedures by both employers and employees, as individuals and as groups, is a two-fold proposition. "Although the conduct of safety within the work place is the responsibility of management, it nevertheless should be recognized that the need for a two-way channel of communication between em­ ployers and employees must be included in any safety program in order for it to be successful.” Commissioner James Gordon, who chairs the safety committee, noted that several aspects of the general policy “are already in place.” That includes designating a “safety officer” in each department or building who | has the responsibility to maintain safe conditions in that particular area.

Dorothy Tcxler has many activities she enjoys. Indoors, she loves her work as librarian at the Delton District Library. And at home, she Hnds cooking and tackling the finishing work on her husband s woodworking projects to be enjoyable activities. But, being outdoors has its pleasures for Dorothy loo. Hiking, camping, and fishing are three favorites. And she doesn't mind helping her husband cut wood either Gar­ dening takesup a lot of the couple's lime and when they have some extra hours they enjoy golfing. The daughter of a dairy farmer. Dorothy was bom inSalineand says she was raised in "farming country." She spent her childhood, from about age four, growing up on a farm midway between Saline and Miland. She attended Miland schools and graduated from that town's high school. Dorothy studied to become an elementary teacher al Eastern Michigan University, and after receiving a bachelors degree, she taught second and fourth grades in Battle Creek's Lakeview school system where she was employed for three years. "Then I got married and came to Barry County," she says. She and her husband. Vernon "Bud" 7exter. reside in the Delton area. They hav. three children: John. Julie and Sally. Dorothy taught fifth grade for a year in the Hastings Area School District prior to the birth of the couple's first child, John.

One of Dorothy Texter's favorite recipes is for apple cake which she especially likes to make at this time of year. She says using "dry" apples like Northern Spy makes a better cake or pie. “TO BETTER SERVE YOU” WE OFFER THE FOLLOWING SERVICES: While lheTexter children were young, Bud and Dorothy were active in Camp Fire and the Boy Scout program. “When the kids got older. 1 wanted lo go back lo teaching, but there were no jobs anywhere around. So I went back to school tin 1974) al Western Michigan University and worked on a master's degree in library science." Two years later, she learned thal Ruth '-'ales, the Delton librarian at that time, planned to retire. Dorothy applied for the position and was selected from a field of 40applicants. "I've always enjoyed it," she said of her work al the Delton library. After obtaining the library job, Dorothy continued to take one or two classes each semester toward her master's degree which she received in 1980. Working in her own community has been a pleasant part of Dorothy's job. she says. It's also been a challenging position as well as interesting. During her tenure, she has seen the library b.ow by leaps and bounds. "When i started al the library, the book shelves were just bn one side of the wall in the main room — and they were not even full with books. Now, the library has been remodeled and expanded and we have three rooms of books" and an abundance of ad­ ditional shelving units. Dorothy also praises the work of volunteers who helped ex­ tensively with the remodeling work. In the community, she enjoys her af­ filiation with the Bernard Historical Society and membership at Faith United Methodist Church where she sings in the choir and is active in other church work. Both Dorothy and her husband helped with the building of the Methodist's new church when it was constructed a few years ago. The Texters also participated in helping to winterize the church's Sunday School facilities. • Statement Savings 1.

Because we all live with our personal property and antiques on a day-in, day-oul basis, we take them for granted. Valuable items are dismissed as "that old thing." while less valuable pieces lake on exaggerated value when the owner has a strong sentimental attachment to them. Yet, it is more essential than ever before loknow both what you own and what it is worth monitarily. Increasing household robberies, more stringent equitable distribution legislation in divorce cases, and even the opportunity to make donations to museum, restoration and charitable organizations for tax benefits are only a few reasons why people should be. by necessity, more interested in the value of their personal property. Combine these reasons with the ever increasing worth of all personal property and you understand why at­ torneys. financial advisors and in­ surance professionals are recom­ mending that their clients include appraisals, or at least inventories in their portfolios. Because insurance coverage is usually the primary reason why professional appraisals are needed, discuss your insurance coverage with your agent before the appraisal is made. Insurance laws vary from state to state, and your coverage may be more limited than you realize. Also, each insurance company's policy provides different coverage. Inquire about limitations on jewelry, gems, watches, furs, coin collections, silver, gold, brass, pewter, copper and flatware. You may discover that without an appraisal, these items may be insured fo<- only a few hundred dollars, thus making a prepared ap­ praisal essential. Hiring an appraiser is also important when an estate must be settled and the property disposed of or divided. The new. relaxed federal tax law has relieved much of the pressure to have personal property and antiques ap­ praised for estate tax purposes. However, when a family is trying to divide property that has not beer, specifically bequested, an appraisal may be necessary to differentiate between those items of monetary value and those with just sentimental value. If the estate is to be sold privately, an impartial appraiser who removes himself from purchasing any item in the estate can provide important in­ formation on which items are valuable and which are not, and help establish their sale prices. In addition, any time an estate or individual wishes lo devote property for tax benefit, a detailed appraisal is required by the IRS. If you are involved in a di vorce where the personal property must be divided, insiston a thorough explanation of your state’s property laws from your at­ torney. New legislation affecting the division of marital property is sweeping the country, and these new laws often make appraisals essential in divorce cases. Like insurance laws and estate tax regulations, divorce laws vary from stat* to state, so it is impossible to say exactly bow these laws work in any given area. With today’s community properly or equitable distribution acts in most states, division of personal property is a new problem for divorcing couples. These laws, adopted to make division of the divorcing couple’s financial resources fair to both, have created problems because few people know the real value of their personal property. Most attorneys prefer that husbands and wives work out property divisions themselves, otherwise each item is dragged into court. Many at­ torneys luuk upon iiie uivuiiiug couple's antiques and collectibles as simply things — and things not worth bothering with. In reality, these "things" can be worth a great deal of money and can also symbolize future dreams as well as current quality of life. Our personal properly is more than just things lo us. It can represent cherished memories and intangible psychological security and a sense of well-being. State laws ignore emotional attachment and view personal property in the same light as stocks and bonds objects that can be turned into money. This must be carefully understood by both parlies in a divorce. Most laws are written so that per­ sonal property is valued, not at it's replacement value, but on the basis of money it would generate. This is generally termed the net value of the property and is determined by how much you could sell the properly for. minus the expenses of selling it — advertising, consignment fees, cost of appraisal, etc. Many couples find thal even though the replacement value of their personal properly is great, its worth on the market (minus the ex­ penses of selling it) reduces the cash value considerably. However, fine antiques appreciate in value. If a couple has collected an­ tiques, fine arts and even, in some cases, excellent reproductions, they may be amazed at even the net worth of these possessions. There is another interesting concept that most judges consider when delerming the value of a couple's personal property these days. That is the labor involved in restoring antiques which increases those objects worth in the marketplace. In many instances a couple will purchase antiques or even just good used furniture and do the restoration themselves. Refinishing and restoring furniture is hard work and time con­ suming, often involving expensive materials, with the end product being a more valuable piece. Divorcing couples should view their personal property with as cold and as detached a point of view as possible. Unfortunately, the decision about who gels the silver and who gets the antique china cabinet is loo often made in the heat of emotional trauma. A husband can often leave his wife with the house (the value of which he knows) and the personal properly and antiques in the house (the value of which he does not know) only to discover the value of household goods when he tries to buy a few chairs and towels. At this point he wants to go back and re-negotiate the entire property settlement. On the other hand, the wife who ac­ cepted the home and all the personal property may suddenly find herself with little cash to maintain a house and its contents. Then if she tries to sell items, she discovers that she cannot ~et the full replacement value for the pieces and she feels cheated. To avoid either situation, a good appraiser should have been consulted. \ good appraiser helps clarify questions on value lo minimize disappointment. Before hiring an ap­ praiser at the time of a divorce, be sure that he or she understands state laws regulating value and distribution of property. Around three-fourths of the states now have either equitable distrubition laws or community property laws, or booth. Many states have enacted these laws within the past five years. Under both laws, the judge may divide equally the property acquired during the marriage, regardless of who purchased it, at the time of a divorce. �The Hastings Banner - Thursday, October 18. 1984, Page 7 From Time to Time... Lake Odessa News by...Esthar Walton Some accounts on local threshing The photograph, borrowed from Charlton Park, is of Mr. Palmer­ ton's outfit from Woodland. Consisting of a Russel engine and a Westinghouse thresher, the unit was used to harvest grain. Here the men are making a 'haymow* by piling hay into a large hill. At the end of summer and into the fall the farmers are working out in their fields, harvesting the grain. Here are two accounts of how the harvesting was done. The first account portrays events in 1860'sand 1870's, the second from the late I800's to the 1940's. In both cases some things remained the same. The threshers moved from one farm to another during the threshing season. While the men were working the fields, the women prepared the meals. Young children between the ages of eight and 13 were recruited to haul water. The children trudged between the water wells or pumps and the field. The water naturally being located near the house and barns. They started out with one or two full pails of water, but upon arrival there was more water on the children then in the pails. It seemed that the thirsty men never got enough water to cool themselves. While the men were working in the fields, the women were preparing the meals. The cooking started days before the men arrived. The meals were served outside. In order to have enough serving space, the barn doors were removed and laid on saw horses, this made a large table to hold the meal. In an Oct. 18, 1933 article called “More Information About Hastings” was this account of threshing in 1860's and 1870's. According to the writer, Bert Tinkler was born in Hastings in 1854, his parents then living on a part of what (in 1933) was called the Osborn Farm. Not far from Mr. Tinkler’s boyhood home lived Ambrose Hubbell, a farmer. One of the earliest of Mr. Tinkler’s recollections, when a small boy, is of witnessing the threshing of grain on Mr. Hubbell’s place. The threshing machine consisted of a cylinder only, which would separate the grain from the wheat heads. There was no straw carrier, no sieves, none of the other paraphernalia that we now associate with a threshing outfit. The operator fed the grain, after the band had been cut, into the cylinder. The cylinder, by its rapid motion, blew the straw chaff and wheat together onto the opposite side. On the ground had been spread blankets to catch the wheat. Men stood close by with forks and carried away the straw, after it had been shaken thoroughly to get the grain onto the blankets. Naturally the operation was slow as contrasted with threshing today. Power to operate the cylinder came from a treadmill, in which were placed two, three or more horses. As the horses began to walk, the treadmill would operate and a belt from the big u-brd tn the w*” connected with the cylinder did the operation. Steam engine threshing machines were soon introduced into Barry County some time in the late 1880’s. According toE. H. Lathrop. "Those steam engines and grain separators (were) wonderful things toseeat work. The grain was fed by hand into open cylinder with a steady even flow by a man who un­ derstood his work, also a band cutter with a sharp corrugated knife to cut bands, one stroke no more, as the feed man was always grabbing for more grain. “The straw was carried away by elevator, not a blower. The grain was emptied into a measuring box with two half bushel boxes that was pushed through a measuring devise by an attendant, then emptied about one-andhalf bushels each to be carried to a granery. In heavy grain, especially oats, it took a livey man, with no false moves, to take care of the grain without becoming rattled. I suppose we kids were an awful nuisance, but the men were, to my knowledge, always very good about everything. At noon the whistle blew. Everything stopped for dinner. The men urashed in tubs of water set out in the yard. The great quantities of meat, potatoes, bread, gravy, pies, that goes with a big meal vanished. Those men must be hollow clear to their toes." Mr. Lathrop continued with this account of threshing, “1 remember one old thresher, Mr. Parker, he had shipped to Morgan by rail a new outfit, grain separator engine, etc. What a beauty with new paint, mostly red. I think the engine was a double cylinder Reves. What a beauty with covered canopy, so smooth running and such power. It was a pleasure to see that engine work...” "Mr. Parker started his outfit at our place. The engineer didn’t seem to know who to fire the boiler with coal. He put too much in al a time and smothered the fire down. A neighbor boy came by, who had had some ex­ perience, said put a little in al a time and let the gas burn off. After that they had no more trouble. "I used to enjoy riding a binder in a good field of grain, especially oats, to see the grain fall onto the canvases and carried up over to the packers. When the pressure was just right, the needle would come up and over the bundle and be tied quick as a wink. We usually used three horses, most of them knew what was expected of them, so it did not take too much guidance of the driver. The early binders had no bundle carriers, but later ones did which saved quite a lot of work." Election dinner There’ll be no need to cook on election night. Members of the junior and senior high youth group at First United Methodist Church in Hastings are planning to serve an “Election Stew Dinner." which will be open to the public, from 4:30 to 7:30 p.m. on Tuesday, Nov. 6. Proceeds from the meal will be used for the youth's summer work project to help others. Besides stew, the dinner wil.’ include salad, dessert and beverages. The church is located on Green St. Tickets for the meal are $3. and may be purchased at the door or in advance at the church office which is open from 9 a m. to 3:30 p.m. weekdays. Also on election day. adult church volunteers will be offering free rides to persons in the Hastings area who need transportation to vote. If you need a ride, call the church at 945-9574. Rides to the polls will be given from 9 a.m. to 7 p.m. A pink and blue shower was held at I be Hastings home of Frances Glasgow, given by her daughter Mariann, for Leann Glasgow Those attending included Leann's grand­ mother Letha Gardner, daughter French and her daughter Tammy. Reine Peacock. Gayle Peacock and daughter Michelle. Lois Peacock and Deb Winkler. Betty Caiey of Portland. Jane Winkler of Woodland. Helen Peacock of Westphalia. Jo Glasgow of Eaton Rapids. Joni Clegg and baby son Jordan of Haslett. Cherie Glasgow and Mrs. Dean of Hastings, and Anita Mead The guest of honor received very nice and useful gifts. A social time, and refreshments served by the hostesses, were enjoyed. Memorial services were held at the United Methodist Church in Woodland Saturday for Beulah Lambert of White Cloud who passed away at the Leila Hospital at Battle Creek. She was the wife of the late Clare lambert, a resident of Lake Odessa for a number of years before moving to White Cloud. Sur­ vivors include three daughters; two step­ sons. Jack Lambert of Lake Odessa and Robert Lambert of New York; also three step-daughters, Jean Schwarting of Woodland. Jean Mulschler of Saranac and Wave Berryman of Saginaw. Work has finally been completed at the Veterans Memorial Park on Jordan Lake at the east end of the village. The small chapel was built at the site, in memory of the Vietnam veterans of the area. It was a dream project of Chief Glenn Desgranges. The park honored the veterans of all wars and now a bronze plaque has been fitted on the large stone monument. Several small weddings have also been held at the chapel A family gathering was held at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Hcginal Dunnigan and family on Sunday. Attending were Mrs. Gene Shade and sons Andy and Eric of Lake Odessa. Mrs. Kenneth Raymond and children Brandi Lynn and Shawn.

Hostings Banner— Thursday, October IB,19S4 Saxons hope to make Wildcats victims in homecoming contest Bruce Hoffman: 198 yards rushing against Harper Creek including a 77-yord touchdown run. Saxon golf team qualifies for state The Hastings golf team, after finishing runnerup in the Twin Valley standings, placed second in the Oct. 12 regionals to qualify for a spot in the state meet Oct. 20 al Sakatoon EloJf Course. The lop three placers in a regional golf meet automatically qualify for state. The Saxon linksters shot a 336 to finish behind only slate-rated I^ikeview, which shot a 311. Last week the Spartans were crowned as league champs in only their first year of Twin Valley competition. Delton finished ninth with a 372 while Lakewood's 379 placed it 10th. Sophomore Dan Willison fired a 78 to lead Hastings. Dave Bachman shot an 84. Nick Willison an 86 and Mike McLean an 88 for Hastings' other scores. Late October always was a great time for hunting small game. After lugging home a few Beaver pells last Friday, the Hastings football team will be taking dead aim at a pack of Wildcats this week. Albion Wildcats, actually. Hastings entertains Albion in the Saxons' annual homecoming bash this Friday in what promises to be a scuffle for fourth place in the Twin Valley standings. After Sturgis' stunning 18-6 upset of Lakeview last Friday, the Trojans along with the Spartans and Coldwater, all share the Twin Valley top spot with 4-1 records. Albion is only a game behind at 3-2. A win by Hastings, now 24 overall and 2-3 in the league, moves the Saxons into the first division, and with one conference game remaining after Friday at Hillsdale (1-4' on Oct. 26, who knows. Hastings could con­ ceivably finish as high as third. But first there are the Wildcats, who sharpened their claws in a 20-15 win over Hillsdale last week, and who still have a longshot at grabbing a share of the con­ ference championship. Albion, led by all-everything back Maurice Ware, can sweep up and down the field in a hurry, says Hastings Coach Jeff Simpson. "We can't give up the big play against them," said Simpson. "We'll have our hands full." The Saxons gathered some momentum of their own in last Friday’s 20-6 win at Harper Creek. Hastings produced season highs in rushing offense (278), total offense (311), and fewest yards allowed (106). Individually, Bruce Hoffman, subbing for injured Jim Cruttenden, picked up a careerhigh 198 rushing yards, including a 77-yard touchdown jaunt. Simpson hopes the momentum will carry over into this Friday's Albion game. Hastings “It s got to give us the confidence we've been lacking." Simpson said following the Harper Creek win. “The kids know they can go out and do the job." In other games involving county schools this Friday, Middleville .<4-2 overall 3-2 league i hosts Kelloggsville in the Trojans' homecoming game. The Trojans are tied with Comstock Park (which has already beaten Middleville this season). Caledonia, and Kelloggsville for the runnerup spot.

For the first time in two years the game has virtually rv> bearing on the SMAA championship, on which unbeaten St. Philip has a lock.

And takewood (4-2) tries to rebound from a 35-8 pasting at the hands of Jackson Lumen Christi with a home game against Olivet. Middleville 26 Byron C 22 Middleville overcame a sluggish first half to top Byron Center 26-22. The Trojans scored on a three-yard run by Jerry Steele to trail 8-6 al half. Trojan tailback Rob Anders accounted for two of the Trojans three second half touch­ downs on runs of 2 and 4 yards. Both came in the fourth quarter with the first washing away a 16-12 Byron Center lead and the second putting the game away. 26-16. Steele scored Middleville's other touch­ down on a 10-yard burst late in the third period. Lumen C 35, Lakewood 8 Jackson Lumen Christi quarterback Tom Sullivan fired four touchdown passes as the Titans blew past Lakewood 35-8. Lakewood actually led 8-7 at the 3:39 mark of the first quarter when the Vikings drove 74 'yards in 9 plays with Bill Barker running the last 33-yards for the touchdown and one-point lead. Two of Sullivan's four touchdown passes went to Jerry Smith on tosses of 9 and 16 yards. The other two were gathered in by Brian Kelly on a 10-yard score and to Dwayne Vanderveen for 36 yards. Delton 20, Paw Paw 6 The Panther's Dennis Munson scored two first half touchdowns on runs of 3 and 11 yards as the Panthers rolled to a 14-0 half­ time lead. The first run followed a fumble recovery by Rom Bloomberg at the Paw Paw 28. Munson scored 8 plays later. His second touchdown climaxed a 65-yard drive which began after Jeff Neeley in­ tercepted a fourth down Paw Paw pass at the Panther 7-yard line. In the fourth period, Mike Ward picked off another pass at the Paw Paw 30 and Delton drove the ball to the three-yard line where Remmon Baker scored for a 20-0 lead.

No. 43 — Hastings, Michigan 49058 Sunday morning is yoir chance to get that hour back that the powers that be took from you last April. The obverse side of daylight savings time goes into effect at 2 a.m. Sunday, when most of the nation’s docks get set back an hour. If you want an extra hour's sleep Saturday night-Sunday morning, then you may want to set your clock back an hour before you go to bed. Daylight savings time became a federal law in 1974 as an energy saving measure. At that time, it established a year-round, daylight time, but it was modified to eight months in 1975, then switched to six months in 1976. The Transportation Department administers the time change, which is observed in all states except Arizona, Hawaii, and most of Indiana. Board members nominated The Barry Cocmty Board of Com­ missioners Tuesday made nominations for expiring terms on the Social Ser­ vices Board and the Road Commission. Ethel Bose of Baltimore Township, who's term on the Social Services Board is ending this year, was nominated to again fill that three-year post. Robert Russel! of Johnstown Township, a current member, and Dunne Allerding of Hastings were both nominated to fill a six-year position on the county road commission. Formal appointments on the two board seats will be made at the next board of commissioner meeting. Planning group disbanded After several years of work, the Barry County Solid Waste Planning Committee was formally disbanded by the board of commissioners. V. Harry Adrounie, chairman of that group, recommended the move, noting that the committee had finished its work. "The Solid Waste Plan is com­ pleted and the Oversight Committee is in place (to administer it)," be added. Adrounie, along with several other members of the planning group, now belong now to the oversight group. The plan regulates the current and future disposal of solid waste in the county and also seeks to educate the public on renewable uses of those by­ products. The commissioners also expressed their appreciation to the members of the Planning Committee, thanking them for their work. Members were: Jacob Doornbos of Middleville, Leon Frith of Nashville, Ryan Dupon of Delton, Richard Landon of Hastings.

October 25,1984 Price 25* Elks seek long-term lease of building from council Morning blaze caused by chair A fire which broke out early Wed­ nesday morning at an Algonquin Lake residence apparently started in the walkout basement portion of the home. Four tarits from the Hastings Fire Department responded to the 4:14 a.m. blaze at the John Blue residence, 2288 Wasabi nang. Firemen said the blaze was.put under control in an hour, and was never fully involved. The owner of the home, Mervin Pennington, reported that the fire, started in, a chair in the northwest corner of the basement. No damage estimate is available at this time. Hastings firefighters rushed to Art Meade Ford on S. Hanover Tuesday afternoon, to put out a fire on the building’s roof. According to reports, the fire, reported at 3 p.m., apparently started when a contractor repairing the roof’s asphalt surface accidentally caught the roof on fire with a torch. Damage is estimated at 8300. Hastings enjoys homecoming Medical Society welcomes new doctors The Barry County Medical Society welcomed five new members to its ranks and installed new officer! for the 1984-85 year during its opening meeting at the Hastings Country Club, Monday. New doctor* and new officer* are (seated, from left) Dr. Michael Flohr, ophthalmology: Dr. Dione Ebaugh, family practice; Dr. Daryl S. Larke, orthopedics; (standing) Dr. Michael McAlvey, new president; Dr. Douglas Castleman, anesthesiology; Dr. Richard Barnett, family practice in Lake Odessa; and Dr. William Songer, new secretary-treasurer. Dr. Paul DeWitt (not shown) is the new vice-president. Speaking at the opening meeting of the year was Carl A. Schoessel, superin­ tendent of Hastings Area Schools, who discussed "Rx for Schools” In his program. Members of the Hastings Order of the Elks asked the city coincil Monday night for a long-term lease on their building, which the city owns, so that members could spend $10,000 for the repair of the building's leaky roof. “We do not feel at this time we could put $10,000 into a building that we may be asked to leave at any time," said William Romick, exalted ruler of the Elks. The Elks rent the building, located on N. Church Street, for $200 a month, plus property taxes, under a 15-year lease signed in 1977. However, a clause says either party may terminate the lease at any time by giving two-years notice. The city’s master plan calls for the razing of the Elks Temple for parking. Bob Stanley, an Elks member, said the city was not just dealing with an “entity", but with “250 tax-paying residents of the City of Hastings. "You represent these people just as much as you represent the 15 or 16 business people on State Street," said Stanley. Gordon Bernitt, chairman of the council’s property committee, said the Elks may be "begging the issue" by forcing the city to terminate the lease. "The Elks know that the city has other plans for the property," said Bennett. “The purpose for the city’s buying the property was to make more parking downtown." Bennett pointed out that two previous cotxicils had voted against selling the property to the club, and that council has received petitions in the past from downtown businesses to tear the structure down. "The Elks will eventually have to leave the place anyway," said Bennett. "I don’t know why they don’t just move." Judge cites ‘microwave’ defendent’s ‘lack of intent’ as reason for probation by Ken Reibel The judge who sentenced a Lake Odessa woman to five years probation for subjecting her infant daughter to microwave radiation cited the defendant’s "lack of intent" as a reason for not sending her to jail. “If I thought there were any intentional act done here, certainly there would be no question about the serious punishment this court would impore," said Ionia-Montcalm Circuit Judge Charles Simon, Jr., prior to sentencing Claudia Joyce Raynes, 33, Fifth Ave., Lake Odessa. The 21-page transcript of the Oct. 3 sen­ tence hearing was released last week. It reveals that Simon, a visiting judge, relied heavily on ‘he recommendations for leniency contained in a 15-page pre-sentence in­ vestigation report prepared by the Barry County Department of Probation and Parole. Simons said placing Raynes in jail would be counterproductive. "It seems to me that to remove the mother from the home at this time, placing her in incarceration would be punishing the child now that parenting has been established and there's a relationship between this child and the defendant." Simons also noted that Raynes has two other small children, "and to remove the mother from the home seems to me to punish not only the victim here but the othei two children." In addition to probation, Raynes was or­ dered to serve 100 hours of community service, to continue mental health coun­ selling, and to provide "a record of ongoing medical treatment" for her daughter, Tracey Raynes, now two years old. Judge Simons also ordered Raynes to allow her probation agent "direct visitation” with the child. Judge Simons also stipulated a six-month jail sentenced for Raynes if she failed to comply with the terms of the sentence. The crime of child neglect or cruelty is a felony, punishable by up to four years in prison, and-or a fine of $2,000. However, the Michigan Supreme Court sentencing guidelines recommended a minimum of "0 to 18" months in jail or prison for Raynes, who has no prior convictions. Simons made several references to the publicity which has surrounded the case since Nov. 1. 1982, when Raynes ana her husband. Steven, rushed their then eightweek-old daughter to a Grand Rapids hospital for treatment of microwave burns. "I'm well aware that only because of the publicity, some of the members of the public would like to see the defendant tarred and feathered," commented Simons. "These types ot cases generate this type of thing among certain members of the public. "in this, our system of justice, we don’t do that. In sentencing I believe philosophy must be carried out independent of what the public may be demanding because of those emotions that exist," said Simons. Simons said the Raynes case was “the most unusual case I've had to consider In some eight years on the circuit court bench.” The judge said that rehabilitation of Raynes was more important than pushlshment, and that he was satisfied rehabilitation was taking place. “Whatever the pressures were or whatever caused this particular act to happen, it's more important so that it doesn't happen again," said Simons. Simons said he was satisfied “that there's been a rehabilitative process going on from the moment after the incident here hap­ pened. "The fact is that immediately after the injury occurred, the defendant and her husband sought medical treatment for this child. There was no attempt to cover it up, not was there any delay as we usually see in child-abuse cases." Simons quoted the pre-sentence report of Steve Werdon, adult probation agent for the Barry County Department of Probation and Parole, who said Raynes did not intend to hurt her child. "After careful review of their case, which reflects some two years of work in terms of investigation and evaluation, it is our opinion she probably did not. "We would concur with her psychologist and others that there is no pre-offense in­ dication of abuse or intention or abuse, nor is there susbtantial likelihood of future abuse," wrote Werdon. Simons said he was satisfied with psychologists* reports that Raynes, “had no independent recollection of the events which resulted here from blockout (sic) or whatever reason, the results of a very unusual case." Simons also pointed to the fact that the infant has been returned to the family home for the last 15 months, and that reports from the home indicate a normal mother-daughter relationship. He cited letters from doctors, a nurse at the Blodgett Memorial Medical Center burn unit, a psychologist, a foster care worker and the infant's former foster parents that described Raynes as a normal, loving, caring parent. “The court feels through probation we can do more in rehabilitation than we ever could by punishment." said Simons. "I’m sure that (here's an aspect or punishment that we can't ignore here...I’m sure that the defendant has been punished in many ways that we’U never realize or else we’d never go ‘horugh this type of trauma.” Raynes pleaded no-contest July 25 to a charge of child neglect and cruelty. The plea of no contest means the defendant chooses not to contest the case, and the judge agrees to accept the plea and treat it as a plea of guilty. Barry-Eaton Circuit Coirt Judge Hudson E. Deming refused to accept a plea of guilty from Raynes in Feb., 1983, after the woman told him the Infant was mysteriously burned after placing it on an ironing board in front of the oven. Deming said h» heard nothing in Raynes's story to convince him that a crime had been committed. A month later, Deming refused to en­ tertain a no-contest plea from Raynes, based on the testimony he heard from her when she tried to plead guilty. Deming’s decisions sparked appeals by Continued to Pago 2 "I know the city has a master plan, but it is not sacrosanct," said Stanley. “It's subject to change. There are always changes that take place, and you have to follow that change.” He adjured the council to check out its master plan from time to time, “to see if it fits with everybody’s needs." The matter was referred to the council's property committee. In other business: The Hastings City Council Monday night approved a bid to tear down two wooden structures in Fish Hatchery Park, to make room for a sewer line. One bid was for $200. The other bid called for paying the city $20 to do the job. Council accepted the $20 bid, with the condition the work be performed within 30 days, and the site left clean. Council transferred $30,000 from the federal receiving fund to the library fund. The money will be used for the library's operating funds for the upcoming year. Trial set for man accused of trying to kill ‘Samaritan’ A Dec. 10 trial date is set for Charles Eldridge Mast, 45,5603 Saggio Rd., Hastings, on charges of assault with intent to commit murder, and malicious destruction of per­ sonal property. Both charges are felonies. Mast could face up to life in prison on the assault charge, and four years for malicious destruction. Prosecutors allege that Mast assaulted a Bellevue man, identified as Ronald Wells, by smashing into his vehicle during a high speed chase across Barry County on June 8. According to police reports, Mast spotted his wife, Mary Mast, and Wells getting out of Wells's 1979 Jeep Cherokee in the parking lot of a Delton drug store at 2:30 a.m.. Police described Wells as “a good samartian” who had given Mrs. Mast a ride to her car. Mast had reportedly been out that night searching for his wife, and had “attacked Wells's vehicle" when he spotted her. An automobile chase allegedly followed, with Mast pursuing Wells east on Pifer and Lacey Roads. The chase ended at the corner of M-66 and Lacey Road, when Wells's Jeep entered a ditch. At that point, said police. Mast started to beat on Wells’s vehicle with a tire iron, and tried to get at Wells. Mast is currently awaiting trial in Calhoun County on a charge of inciting to commit murder. Accord ng to state police, Mast hired r "hit man" in the winter of 1983 to murder his wife. That trial has been post­ poned. In other court proceedings: Daniel Eugene Seller, 36, Battle Creek, was sentenced to one year in the Barry County Jal) for attempted breaking and entering of a building. Seller is one of three men arrested for the July 22 break-in of the Summit Steel Corp, warehouse on Railroad Street. Barry County prosecutors recommended a year in jail in exchange for Sellers' testimony against his two codefendants. "Mr. Seller put his life on the line to bring to the police a ring of thieves,” noted Sellers* attoney, James Fisher of Hastings. Barry-Eaton Circuit Court Judge Hudson E. Deming noted that Seilers had promised to cooperate with the police before the July 22 burglary, and said "It bothers me that this man would commit a crime while working for the police." Deming credited Sellers for '90 days already spent in custody. Another co-defendant in the Summit Steel burglary, Danny Rae Carnes, 22, Battle Creek, pleaded not guilty to a charge of breaking and entering of a building. An Oct 26 pre-trial is set for Carnes. Joel Dean Fulford, 19, W. Grano Street, was sentenced to a term of 34 to 74 yeais in prison, for the July burglary of an E. State Road home. Judge Dem Ing ordered that Fulford's sentence be served concurrently with a 24 to 4 year term for probation violation. “For some reason or other, you want money, but you don't want to earn it," said Deming. Fulford was credited for 61 days already spent in jail. Thomas C. Rupkus, 20, Warren, pleaded guilty to attempted larceny o^er $100, in connection with the June 26 theft of an out­ board motor.

Chet Lancaster, 56, started working on Hastings' streets at the age of 16, shovelling dirt by hand and pushing a wheelbarrow. Today, he operates a front-end loader, a job he's had for the past 32 years. "You can't name all the changes I’ve noticed in Hastings since I started,” said Lancaster, who started work when the late Ken Laberteaux was city engineer. “State Street is one of the biggest improvements in town since I started, and then there's Bob King and Fish Hatchery Parks, they're new." Change is a constant process, and Lan­ caster was busy loading fill dirt at Fish Hatchery Park last week for yet another improvement. "This place is going to be nice, once we get it done," he said. In commending Lancaster for his 40 years of service, the city council wished him "many more happy, healthy and prosperous years as he contributes his employment with the City of Hastings. Chet Loncoster has been operating heavy equipment for the city for’32 of his 40 years with the Hastings Department of Public Works. Monday night, the city coun­ cil commended him for his dedication and “for moving mountains of snow.' �Page 2—The Hastinas Banner— Thursday. October 25. 1984 VIEWPOINT: Commentaries from our editorial staff and the communitv — New Postal Rates: Taking money from local community Normally, the debate over postal rate hikes is left to the groups that deal directly with the U.S. Postal Service. However, you should be concerned over continued moves by the Postal Rate Commission and the U.S. Postal Service Board of Governors to increase the rates of first class and second class mail to subsidize mass mailers using third class mails for advertising purposes. The rates currently in force and those under consideration for the coming few years will take money out of the pockets of the people and small businesses nationwide to subsidize the Postal Service and some large nationwide mass mail companies. Some authorities contend that the proposed rates will offer third class mailers rates that are lower than the actual cost of service. Let us be honest. Our company is upset by the proposals because we use second class mails to mail this publication and we operate a private delivery system for our four free publications that are in direct competition with the big mass mail companies. Our distribution costs, which are reflected in our advertising and subscription rates, are reduced by distributing pre-printed inserts for retail advertisers and other private firms. Those people who deliver our four free publications are local people who maintain homes in local communities and spend their paychecks through many local businesses. They are paid for carrying our publications and receive additional pay to carry extra inserts. The money they receive, as already noted, is returned to the local communties. The Postal Service, since 1976, has been moving to take away that extra business from private delivery systems. After decades of price increases for third class mail (which forced many free papers and other mailers to set up their own delivery systems) the Postal Service is now setting up rates which subsidize third class mailers at the ex­ pense of second and first class mailers. You might have to pay 23 cents to mail a first class letter to your grandmother, while K-Mart and other firms using national bulk mailing companies through the Post Office can mail an advertising circular into your home for a fraction of that price. That isn’t fair. New rules on “piggyback” mail do not even require the big mailers to address each piece. Instead, they can address a single card (on which they sell advertising space) and use that as an address sheet for several advertising circulars that are dropped into your mailbox. At the same time, the Postal Service is proposing to increase the second class mail rates for local newspapers by 40 percent for in­ county mailings. We won’t argue that newspapers should be given preferential treatment, but it doesn’t make sense to us to increase the rates of newspapers, which provide important information to local communities, in order to maintain unfairly low rates for big mailing companies. If private delivery systems lose the extra business then local people will feel the effect in their paychecks because that extra money will no longer be available to them to spend locally. Instead, the money will go to the Postal Service and the big mailing companies. In addition, that new 23 cent first class stamp will increase the cost of business nationwide. Your utility bills will go up. Government will feel the pinch. Schools will feel the pinch. And homeowners will feel the pinch. If you believe, like us, that it is unfair to subsidize big third class mailers by raising the second and first class rates, then we urge you to contact your congressman. Congress still is able to influence postal rates and the people must make their views known. Green Street closed for sewer work Green Street will be closed to through traffic between Cass Street and Cook Road until the middle of next week, while city crews run a new sewer line across the road. The work is part of the $217,094 expansion of the Southwest Wastewater Trunk Sewer, which will service Fish Hatchery Park and relieve the Green Street line of Pennock Hospital. The hospital's east Green Street drive­ way will remain open. Hickory Corners Fire Dept, cleared by jury A jury deliberated less than 20 minutes Wednesday before clearing the Hickory Corners Fire Department and a volunteer fireman in a wrongful death suit brought by the family of a 65-year-old Hickory Corners man killed when he was struck by an emergency vehicle that was responding to a fire. The suit, brought by the estate of Raymond Mann, deceased, claimed that the fireman, Richard Barnum, had failed to activate his siren and Hashing lights, and that Barnum “passed without proper observation of what was ahead." The accident occurred Oct. 29, 1979, on Sheffield Road, near Mann Road, in Barry Township. Barnum, who is a sergeant in the Barry County Sheriff Department, was eastbound and on his way to a fire when he moved out of his lane topass another vehicle. Mann, who was standing in the westbound lane, was struck by Barnum's vehicle, and died immediately. Ken Kobayashi, attorney for Mann's estate, claimed the fire alarm was cancelled prior to the mishap, hut that Barnum con­ tinued to travel at an excessive speed, without using a siren or flashing lights. Kobayashi said that Barnum "struck and kihed (Mann) in the westbound lane of travel where (Mann) had every legal right to be." Barnum said he was not called back from the alarm, and that he did have his flashing lights on. He said he did not use his siren, "because I didn't feel there was a need for it." Paul Jensen. Barnum's attorney, called the case "very straight forward,” and he credited the special skills of the Michigan State Police troopers who investigated the mishap, including an accident recon­ struction expert. Jensen said the jury learned from the investigation that the accident was unavoidable. "It happened on a dark, country road, the victim was wearing dark LETTERS to the Editor: Correction on headline A headline on the front page in last week’s Banner should have said “Two candidates wage write-in campaigns” for the story about two men who are seeking to win the supervisor’s posts by conducting write-in and sticker campaigns in two different (ownships. The third candidate referred to in the story was Catherine Lucas who already waged a successful write-in campaign in the August primary to be nominated as a Democrat candidate for the office of Woodland Township Clerk.

The infant was piaced in a foster home following the incident, but was returned home in the summer of 1983, under the guidance of Barry County Probate Court. Courts, continued "As far as this court is concerned, ripping off poor people is a very serious crime, and that's what you did," said Judge Deming. "I can’t find any fault with the jury trial in this case. It was a well-tried case," be added. Gordon Henderson, 64, Delton, pleaded not guilty to a charge of fourth degree criminal sexual conduct. A pre-trial hearing is set for Oct. 26. According to court records, Henderson "did engage in sexual contact with another per son... using force or coercion to ac­ complish the sexual contact," on or about July 28. The crime is a misdemeanor, punishable by up to two years in prison. (Vest Rutland Church Information given To the Editor: Since I receive copies of The Banner second hand, it is possible that someone has clarified the situation with respect to the West Rutland Church that appeared in the article on the Welcome Comers Church Centennial. The “West Rutland" Church was in­ corporated March 17, 1896 as the First Methodist Episcopal Church of Rutland. The church was located in the Glass Creek neigh­ borhood, and I'm sure that Lansing Gilbert could give you the exact location. The incorporators were: Isaac L. Dimond, James Whittemore, Henry Shipman, Samuel Healey, William Otis, Emerson Edger, and “their associates”. A contract was signed with E.H. Stafford of Muskegon on May 22, 1896 for the furnishings and a contract was let on July 24. 1896 for building the church and sheds. A partial subscription list included: Dan Write us a letter!

Harthy State Representative Robert Bender (R Middleville) last week hailed a Senate budget report as evidence that Michigan’s economy is strong enough to sustain an accelerated decrease in the income tax rate.” "According to the report, we ended the year on Sept. 30 with a surplus of $338 million because of a continued surge in the economy," Bender said. “That is excellent news for taxpayers, and substantiates the Republican contention that the people have been taxed too much for too long. This report gives us every reason to believe we can reduce taxes further in the near future." The 35-page document, the Budget Status Report, was prepared by the Senate Fiscal Agency. It predicts a $338 million surplus for the 1983-84 budget year which ended Sep­ tember 30, and a surplus of $227 million at the end of the current fiscal year if the present surplus is not appropriated. "The report states that we are in the strongest recovery since the early 1950s," Bender continued, "and that economic growth will continue through 1986, although at a slower rate. With a large surplus and bright prospects for the next two years, 1 think we are in a strong position to reduce the income tax rate to the 4.6 percent level well before 19B7 when it is scheduled to drop." Representative Bender said the report predicts a drop in the unemployment rate to 9.5 percent by the end of 1985, and an in­ flation rate of 5.5 percent by early 1986. Wages and salaries are expected to increase 9.7 percent in 1984 and 8.5 percent in 1985. “It is clear from the report that the economy will continue to grow at a modest rate through 1986, and the stage is set for a tax reduction sooner than we had an­ ticipated," Bender concluded.

Eventually, Deming was dismissed from hearing the case, and Judge Simons was appointed. Raynes. the mother of two, turned herself into authorities following an investigation into the Oct. 31, 1982 incident. Although police said Raynes placed her baby inside a microwave oven, court documents only say she "did willfully, unlawfully, or neglectfully deprive said child clothing, and he walked out of a vacant lot and right in front of Sgt. Barnum’s truck," said Jensen. He added that Barnum could not possible have stopped in time to keep from hitting the deceased. Rep.

To the Editor: I was interested and concerned about the editing of the last issue of the Banner in the article and picture of "From Time To Time”. I have lived on a farm my entire life, but making a "haymow" by piling hay into a large hill is inaccurate. When we stored hay outside we stacked it. When we put hay in a “haymow” that was inside a portion of the barn called a mow. The machine pictured was used to thresh (he grain after it was cut, shocked, hauled and stacked. The unit being operated by the steam engine was a separator used to separate the grain from the straw. The large pile of straw at the tear of the separator was called a straw stack, not a “hill” or “mow”. Wilbur E. Solomon Prison employee praises Sen. Henry To the Editor: For the past several years. I have been employed by the State of Michigan, working in the prison system. During those years, I have had to deal firsthand with the problems of prison overcrowding and the complicated criminal justice system. And during those same years, there has been one legislator from our part of the state who has paid particular attention to the problems of our prisons. That person is Paul Henry, now running for the U.S. Congress to replace retiring Hal Sawyer. His concern for prison reform and state workers in those prisons are part of why I think Paul Henry is the best person we can send to Washington as our next Congressman Steadily, without a lot of headline grabbing, he has worked to see that the problems of prison understaffing, prison overcrowding, and poor programs are dealt with. He served on the special Prison Distur­ bance Task Force after the riots at the Ionia Reformatory and has been one of the few legislators who has taken the time to regularly listen and act or. our concern with what happens behind prison walls. For these and many other reasons. I’m voting for Paul Henry on Nov. 6. William J. Roush Hastings QUESTION Sunday concluded the second debate between the Presidential candidates-rPresident Ronald Reagan and former Vice President Waller Mondale— and the third in the scries of debates that included Vice President George Bush and Congresswoman Geraldine Ferraro. What did you think about them? Sterling Ostroth, Hastings— I thought Reagan did a lot better this time. I'd say he won it. I think, with the issues, that he should know more (about them). The other guy hasn't tried them yet. He (Reagan) was more up on them. Also I think he’s done a pretty good job as president. Mary Palmer. Hastings— The first debate I thought Mondale did well and that Reagan held his own. In the vice presidential debate I thought Ferraro stunk and that Bush did well. The last one was equal. But I have to vote for Reagan. I don't think the country is ready for a woman vice president. Nora Hickey. Vermontville— 1 prefer Mondale. I don’t care for Reagan's age. Reagan did better in the second debate. He's an actor and you can't lake that away from him. But 1 still don't think he knows the facts. Louise Gonyou. Woodland— 1 didn't see the debates, but I hope Reagan makes it because we need Christians in office. I'm for him because of what lie's done for the past four years. The debates wouldn't have changed my mind on that. Ronald O'Connor. Hastings— I'm non­ partisan. ( In the second debate) 1 felt Reagan answered the questions. He came tack on some of Mondale’s accusations. As far as politically. I don't care whether they're Republican or Democratic, it's whoever is the best man. I pretty much watched the second debate to see how he (Reagan) did. I wanted to see how he retaliated from the first debate. He did make a comeback as far as I’m concerned. Wade Shook. Hastings— I think that Mondale (in the first debate) caught up on any point spread (in popularity). I don’t think he overtook President Reagan. 1 do think the incumbent is at a disadvantage (in these situations). I think the President did better the second time. I don't want to judge whether he’s the better man. but 1 feel, with his charisma and personality, that Mondale is not going to beat him ... unless something major happens before the election to change people’s minds. Barbara Drewel. Freeport (Vice Chair­ man of the Barry County Republican headquarters)— Reagan did much belter this lime, but if people haven't made up their minds by now they're not going to. I felt the debates were a waste of time. They weren’t necessary. People have already made a decision on who to vote for. Barbara Bedford. Hastings (Vice Chair­ man of the Barry County Democratic Pary)— I think if people really listened and saw how the debates were handled (by the candidates), they will know which choice to make. I thought Mondale did very well in both debates. He handled himself better than he has previously in his campaign. He was a little more sure of himself. He got the reaction from the public (with the debates). The newspapers tdl you that. He gained in the polls because of that. But regardless of who people prefer, they should lx? sure to go to the polls and vote. �The Hastings Banner— Thursday, October 25,1984, Page 3 Carlton 4-Hers donate to fair, plan magic show Sat. Delton schools to hold tax hearing Nov. 5th The Delton Kellogg Board of Education has scheduled a special meeting on Monday.

Robert VanderVeen, principal, announced today that Carla Witzel and Phil ■ Arnold placed in the top five percent of over one million participants in the 30th annual competition and will receive a Letter of Commendation in honor of outstanding promise for future academic success. An officer of National Merit Scholarship Corporation (NMSC), which administers the program, stated that, “The exceptionally high test performance of young people who are named Commended Students in the extremely competitive Merit Program is deserving of recognition in their com­ munities. To acknowledge the attaii.ments of academically talented students and to credit schools for the part they play in the development of these youth are important in a naton that values excellence. We sincerely hope that their accomplishments thus far will motivate these students to pursue higher education and to acquire the skills they will need to become productive adults and contributing citizens in a free society." Participants entered the current Merit Program by taking the PSAT-NMSQT in the fall of 1983, when most of them were juniors. Although the qualifying test scores of the 35,000 Commended Students designated nationwide were very high, they were slightly below the level required for Semifinalist standing in the competition for some 5,500 Merit Scholarships to be awarded in 1985. The 15,000 Semifinalists in this year's competition were announced publicly by NMSC on Sept. 13.

Peg Faulkner has been going to school — not as a student, but as a secretary. But, at the end ot this year. Peg plans to retire from her position as secretary to Lakewood Schools Superintendent William Eckstrom. Thoughts of stepping down from her career bring mixed emotions. Peg's looking forward to having more time with her husband, Lyle, who recently retired from the Michigan Slate Police...and having more time with the rest of the couple’s large family. However, she says, "I've enjoyed my work and I’m sure I will miss IL But, it's close enough that I'm sure I'll go see everyone (at work) once in a while." Besides the normal secretarial duties, Peg says, "I've enjoyed being around the kids and meeting people and when you work in the superintendent’s office you meet a lot of people. Mr. Eckstrom has been such a super person to work ftv.” Peg began her career as a part-time secretary to the principal at Lake Odessa Community Schools, prior to its merger with neighboring school districts which formed the Lakewood system. She has been em­ ployed as Eckstrom's secretary for nearly 19-years. The Faulkners recently moved from a large home in the country where they lived for 35-years to a home within the village of Lake Odessa. Peg says they’ve made the adjustment nicely and are pleased that their former home, which holds so many memories, was purchased by a son. "I w«»s bom just a mile from where we lived in the country,” says Peg who graduated from Lake Odessa schools. Prior to her marriage, she worked for Ypsilanti Reed in Ionia. She says her number one hobby "is en­ joying my family. She and her husband have six children and all but one live in the area. They are Terri Slade, Toni Corey of Kalamazoo, Dave, Jon, Tina Walker and Traci. The family includes 14-grandchildren. "I’m never bored, I always have something I like to do," says Peg, who at­ tends Central United Methodist Church. “I Inve flowers and in the summer I enjoy working with them .I love music and I play the piano just for my own enjoyment." Currently, she's making a quilted table runner. She also enjoys spending time on re­ decorating projects in her home and likes to read. "I'm interested in old things and antiques that have some meaning to us. I have some old dishes and some old bottles that came from our other house. We found them in the basement and in the walls." Concerning her upcoming retirement. Peg says she doesn't have any special plans. "I love my home and I enjoy being at home...We’ll just do whatever we want to do and that will be kinda fun. “I like to'cook and bake bread and I an­ ticipate that I’ll be doing some of those things, she said. ELECT Peg Faulkner prepares to bake up a batch of homemade rye bread. Employed with the Lakewood and former Lake Odessa schools since 1960. she plans to retire as secretary to the superintendent at the end of the year. Peg's bean soup with dumplings is a family favorite, It's a recipe she concocted herself. "I don't always make it the same way. The kids have al ways likfd it." For the meat, she either uses pieces of ham or substitutes about one-half pound of bacon. Salt pork also may be used instead. Years ago Peg said she used to make the dumplings from scratch, but lately she’s been using Bisquick and says it works "just as well if not better.” Her rye bread recipe is one she got from her sister. "It’s very easy. It’s a recipe where everything is measured just right," said Peg.

Hewta JOHNSTOWN TOWNSHIP JUANITA YARGER Raflistar of Daad> The affect of the heat on the nuts foretells the love affairs progress. If one or both crack open, the lovers will quarrel and split up; if one of the nuts catches Fire and flames and the other does not, the individual whose nut catches fire will love madly but in the end will be rejected. Finally, if both nuts burn quietly together, the pair will have a happy marriage. In yet another ritual, two pans of water were placed on the hearth along with an empty one. One pan had clean water in it, the other, dirty water. The maiden is blind-folded and chooses one of the pans. If the choice is the clean water, she will marry a lad; if she picks the dirty water, she will marry a widov'er; and if she picks the empty pan, she will be an old maid. A man can play the game with equal chances — going for a maiden, a widow, or eternal bachelorhood. Then there was the old "ball of yarn" caper: a maiden desirous of knowing who her husband will be takes a ball of yarn and tosses it out the window, holding one end firmly. When it cat­ ches, she r -ks: "Who holds?" and the breeze is reputed to then whisper the name of her future husband. This game has an ominous variation in that if Satan catches it, then her death is Jie«r. Another tale has it that a mirror can foretell of future loves. The maiden in supposed to walk downstairs while holding a mirror. At the foot of the stairs, she would see in the mirror’s reflection that of her lover-to-be. Another variation simply requires the Lassy to look into a mirror while holding a lighted candle. The face of her future lover would then appear next to hers in the mirror. The traditional costumes for Halloween only included the macabre — ghosts, ghouls, devils, witches and screaming black cats. Today's array is from Little Red Riding Hood to space­ suits and everything in between. For awhile Halloween progressed from just a scary time to fun time for little trick or treaters. In the 1930s and ’40s, "Cabbage Night" was actually dreaded by adults. This was the night before Halloween. Many awesome and sometimes deadly "tricks” were put upon homeowners. Family out-houses were removed from their usual standing places and were sometimes never to be seen again — or worse yet, many were dumped on front porches of innocent victims, with putrid spilled or even painted on by some vandals. Hay wagons ended up on house roof-tops. Windows were entirely waxed or even broken. This was the night that many "got even” with an enemy. Cattle and other stock were set free or stolen, with fences cut or removed entirely. This was the night that everything that couldn’t be bolted down was brought indoors for safe keeping. Many acts of malicious destruction were passed off as Halloween “pranks". Now in the 1900s, sick individuals are hurting and killing our children. It ’sn't safe out on our own neighborhood sidewalks, so we are forced to bring Halloween indoors with parties and goody inspections before our little goblins even dare bite into a big, red apple. We dare not trust our own nextdoor neighbor on Halloween, it seems. Dare we continue the custom of Halloween — or is it regressing back to the black and dreaded night of evil that it was in the beginning before it came to our America? Township Candidates JUDY H. HUGHES DtariR- “ DAVID O. WOOD At one time, about 60 to £0 years ago, there were many romantic customs and practices associated with this blackest of all days — Halloween. Entwined with Medieval witchcraft and superstition, these were widely used around the turn of the century and many Halloween parties held on All Saints-Eve played them out. Halloween is a weird sort of holiday. It is an event sociologists call a "degenerate” holiday. Although there are still people who attend Mass on this day, for it is still “All Hallows" to the church — the day for paying homage to unknown saints and martyrs — it is a time chiefly devoted to the delight and amusement of children. Among all the festivals which are celebrated, none have stranger or more mysterious histories than Halloween. It. is an ambivalent Christian holiday. On the one hand it is a solemn festival of the church and on the other it commemmorates beings, creatures and rituals with which the church has fought for two millenniums. Halloween is a time when ghosts, ghouls, devils, witches, etc. walk the earth, and fairies scamper about. The roots of this day go back to the ancient Druids but the American variety is dependent upon Scottish and Irish customs. It was with the im­ migration of the Gaelic people to America during the middle to latter part of the 19th century that Halloween found a place in our calendar. The beliefs, customs, and cultural heritage brought from Europe came into contact with a new way of life in this country and eventually a mutation came forth. It was this mutation that became, in time, the traditional American Halloween so familiar to our parents and grandparents and which was celebrated three-quarters of a century ago. The post card was in its heyday between 1900 and 1920 and publishers did not hesitate to concentrate on Halloween themes, illustrations and verses to attract consumer interest. One favorite post card subject was •he portrayl of the customs and traditions observed by most of the people. All of the customs relating to Halloween in those days had one idea in common — they were acts of divination attempting to forsee the future,) especially a future mate. One custom was the use of apple peels. The person wishing to know the initial of his or her future spouse had to peel an apple all in one piece and then, without looking, throw it over the shoulder. The way it falls on the floor and the shape it takes is supposed to be read as an initial and be prophetic. A variation of this theme is for a girl to cut an apple into nine even pieces, throw the first eight over her shoulder and then spear the last piece on a knife and wait for her husband-to-be to mysteriously appear and eat it! We have all bobbed for apples at Halloween parties, but not for the same reasons as our ancestors. This custom is Spanish in origin. If the apple bobber was successful in olden times, it meant that a love affair will be happy, and the object of his affection will love him forever. The bobbing apple also was sometimes hung from a string, or like today’s custom, float atop water in a tub. Another Halloween ritual was nut­ burning. The way two nuts burned predicted how a couple’s love life would fare. The two nuts are named for the boy and girl lovers and then placed side bv side on the fireplace hearth. CUrinWKMtr W.

Towns & trains that never to on track Although many ideas and schemes sound good, they may never be com­ pleted. In Barry County there were three villages and railroads that never got to construction phase. From the June 12, 1913 issue of The Hastings Banner is this account written by W.W. Potter. Potter, a lawyer and later a Michigan Supreme Court Judge, was an authority on Barry Countyhistory. Here is his account: "It is generally known that at the time Hastings was flatted (1838) it was anticipated that it would be on the line of the proposed Monroe and Grand Rivir railroad. Such is however the fact, and the original plat of the City of Hastings on file in the office of the Register of Deeds in Kalamazoo County shows the line of the proposed railroad. About the time and probably in an­ ticipation of the building of this railroad the Village of Barry was laid out This is one of the forgotten villages of Barry County. I (Potter) never heard of it until I came across the plat of it in the office of the Register of Deeds in Kalamazoo. It (the village) was located on the south branch of the Thornapple River and was on the east half of the southeast quarter of section 33 in the Township of Hastings on Cedar Creek. "It was quite a pretentious village being laid out with a public square in the center and consisting of sixteen blocks of twelve lots each. Prominent among the streets were Grand Rapids Street, Jackson Street, Van Buren Street, and Benton Street... The plat was made by one Samuel Anderson. When the records were transcribed in the early days from Kalamazoo County to this county at the expense of the (Barry County) Board of Supervisors, this plat, together with others in this county, were not copied or otherwise brought here. Thus there is no record in the county of this village. "It was thought that Anderson was interested in the proposed line of the railroad to Grand Rapids and that this platted village was on the line of the proposed railroad. At any event, An­ derson and a man named Marcy were at about that time the owners of the plat of the Village of Barry. "At the time it was platted, the county was all in one township named Barry and was attached to Kalamazoo so that it might have been in the mind of the platters of it that it should be the county seat of Barry County. At the time it was made there was scarcely more than fifty persons residing in the county. Among all of them is not one who knows aught of the reason for the platting of the Village of Barry and we can only conjecture when we know of no reason why it was done. "Of the early villages of Barry County now almost forgotten is Middle Village. An Indian village is mentioned in a British narrative of 1772 as being near the south branch of the Owashtonong or Grand River. In 1833 a territorial road was laid out to com­ mence at the Middle Village so called. In 1936 Middle Village was platted by Louis Moran or Louis Moreau. It had been claimed that this village was platted by Moreau, the French fur trader (who owned the land). If he did plat it, he did not at the time spell his name as it is now sp»’led. The name of the platter appears to be Moran. "This plat was acknowledged on the first day of December, 1836, before Judge Ransome in the County of Kalamazoo, an ’ filed some time af­ terwards in the office of the Register of Deeds of Kalamazoo County. It was never transcribed and brought to this county. "Middle Village was laid out around a public square, it consisted of sixteen blocks of eighteen lots each, except the lots which cornered the center of the plat and from these the inside corner lots were taken to form the public square. ‘The lots were’, says the plat, mostly 66x122 feet, commencing on the north, the streets were North Street, Jackson Street, Main Street, Van Buren Street and South Street. Commencing on the west, they were West Street, Family Street, Washington Street, Royal Street and East Street.’ "On the plat it is indicated that the owner retained title to some of the lots on each of the blocks showing that he had an eye to the commercial side of the transaction. Among the lot owners named on the plat is one Campau, who owned two lots on the west side of the public square. This plat of Middle Village was never transcribed to the records of Barry County either." One other village remains in a name only. There was a "Trenton” which was near Irving. No other information is available abouUL It never got platted. The railroad tracks that never got in operations were the Monroe and Grand River Railroad; the Kalamazoo, Hastings, Lowell and Northern Michigan Railroad Company; and the Central Michigan Traction Company. The Monroe and Grand River Railroad shows on the plats both in the townsite of Barry and in the plat of the Hastings Village’in 1836. Where it was supposed to go is not known. The Kalamazoo, Hastings, Lowell and Northern Michigan Railroad Company was supposed to be a narrow gauge railroad. Money was raised in Kalamazoo, Hastings, Freeport and Lowell in 1883. A sufficient amount was subscribed so that the right of way far the entire distance from Kalamazoo through Hastings on to Lowell was secured and the road bed was graded for a narrow gauge for nearly all that distance. A trace of that original grade remains today along the western side of No. 6 fairway at the Hastings Country Club. Another attempt, this time for an electric railroad or trolleyline, was proposed from Grand Rapids to Jackson. In 1902-03 surveyors plotted a narrow gauge road through Hastings, Charlotte and Eaton Rapids. Though a corporation was formed to construct and operate it, it never got built Three towns and three trains were all conceived to progress Barry County into the Twentieth Century ; none of them, however, made any impact on that progress.

"I know that when the department has only one car on the road, as is often the case, it is necessary to call on the assistance of other departments," said Keena. “I think there is room for improvement in this area. Police agencies should not compete. We should be using all the resources available to answer citizens’ complaints, and further reduce response times," said Keena. "It only makes sense to make better use of the taxpayers' dollars." Keenasay^t is important to keep a chain of authority and leadership within the administration of the sheriff depart­ ment “If I'm elected sheriff. I intend to be available. Nobody should suffer for lack of a knowledgable person who has the responsibility to help."______________________ "More efficient, more responsive, more professional.” Sheriff deputies receive a basic amount of training in first aid, firearms, traffic laws, and other areas.

"One , thing 1 learned while I was undersheriff of Eaton County, is that other public agencies and emergency per­ sonnel are often eager to lend a hand in sharing their ex­ pertise," said Keena. "Ambulance personnel can be called on to give refresher courses in first aid, and the Michigan State Police, with the large resources they have at hand, are qualfied to teach additional criminal investigation, latent print recovery, and accident investigation. “We have very skillful, very intelligent people working for the sheriff department, and they deserve the best that this state has to offer," said Keena. “One of the responsibilities of the Barry County Sheriff Department, or any other law enforcement agency, is making information of its activities available within a reasonable time," said Keena. "Our sheriff deputies have reason to be proud, and getting the word out on the work they are called on to perform each day goes hand in hand with that pride," said Keena. "If elected sheriff, 1 intend to be aware of the activities, and will insure investigation and follow-up reports."_______________ In 1968, the Michigan State Police named Harold Keena "Trooper of the Year" for his work with young people in athletics. Keena brings to his campaign a lifetime's experience in law enforcement. In 1968, he was recognized by the Michigan State Police as "Trooper of the Year” for his work in organizing atldetic contests for young people. In addition, Keena has special training in administration and super­ vision, career development, psychology, law enforcement procedure and emergency planning. More than once, his expertise has been put to use by teaching in police academies. "The people of Barry County deserve a professional, ac­ countable sheriff department,” says Keena.

Instead, Roy’s league, the Hastings Youth Athletic Association (HYAA), wants only to allow youngsters between the ages of nine and 13 the opportunity to play tackle football al an organized level, he says. Even if the kids never reach the varsity level — and most of them won’t — the threeteam HYAA allows them the chance to ex­ perience supervised tackle football rather than banging heads in the more dangerous atmosphere of sandlot football. The opportunity to play football at that age helps the youngster decide whether he should continue playing ball later on in high school, says Roy. “It’s a proven fact a certain percentage of boys will never play high school ball," says Roy, who coaches the HYAA Rodee’s Blue seventh and eighth grade team. "A lot of players come in here, see how they like it, and then figure out if they want to continue to play." Roy says coaches in the HYAA, which also features a second seventh and eighth grade team as wen as a tourtn and fifth grade squad, try to indoctronate the youngsters to proper fundamentals and the need for playing together as a team. For many of the kids, the HYAA is the first opportunity they've had in playing on an organized sports team. Roy realizes when adults become involved in kids’ "Little League-type" programs, winning and losing sometimes luses its perspective. Roy doesn’t believe this is the case among HYAA teams. “On my team it’s minimal,” Roy says of excessive parents’ interference, “because I have a meeting with the parents before the season and I tell them how it will be and that's it." The HYAA, which is affiliated with the Barry-Ionia-Eaton League, is governed by an elected board of directors which has outlined regulations for good sportmanship, safety, teamwork and participation. It is up to the board to meet with HYAA coaches to determine if these regulations are being followed. Speaking only for himself, Roy says winning is not something that is attained at the expense of ignoring those regulations. and the cons... Hastings Kristin Trahan is sandwiched between two Harper Creek defenders In Tuesday's 59-55 Beave< win. Trahan scored 11 points in the gome, which drops the Saxons’ record to 6-7 overall. Saxons drop 59-55 game to Harper Creek Harper Creek’s Debbie Bliler and Stacy King combined for 37 points as the Beavers knocked off Hastings 59-55 Tuesday night The loss was only the Saxons’ second in their last six ballgames. Hastings is now 6-7 overall and 5-4 in the Twin Valley. The Saxons play at Lakeview next Tuesday before hosting Sturgis on Nov. 1. Harper Creek jumped to a 30-26 halftime lead and increased it to 42-39 at the end of three periods. Amy Atkinson led the Saxons with 27 points including 17 in the first half. Atkinson hit 9-of 17 from the field, 9-of-iO from the line, and grabbed 11 rebounds. Kristin Trahan added il points and 6 rebounds. Suzie Carlson and Stacy Owens each contributed 5 assists. Meanwhile, the Saxon jayvees continued to be perfect as they defeated Harper Creek 4432. The jayvees are now 9-0 in the Twin Valley and 13-0 overall. Heather Prucha led Hastings with 12 points and Susan Strong added IQ. Sports... at a glance On the surface it may seem the Hastings Youth Athletic Association is exactly what it appears: a chance for youngsters to play tackle football on an organized level. There can be little argument about that; the HYAA does offer youngsters the chance. But the arguments for changing the league or possibly even abolishing tackle football at that level are every bit as strong. Mike Murphy, a 1966 Hastings High School graduate and a former defensive end on the 1965 unbeaten Saxon teem, hzs two sons old enough to be playing in the HYAA. One son, Chad, does play on one of the eighth grade teams. However, Murphy will not let Jamie, his seventh grade son, play in the HYAA for a number of reasons he considers valid. The first, strongly backed by Hastings physician Dr. James Atkinson, is the injury factor. Both feel youngsters at that level are highly susceptable towhat Atkinson refers to as “ephipyseal injuries," or injuries limiting the growth point of the bone. T ie bottom line, says Dr. Atkinson, is that youngsters become fully mature anywhere from 14-19 years of age. Broken down that means by the time they are 15, only 75 per cent of the youngsters have matured. By the time the youngster is 17,85 per cent of them are considered mature. Thus an injury to what Dr. Atkinson calls by Steve Vedder the "growth center” of an immature bone can stunt or possibly even stop its growth. Dr. Atkinson says in addition to the problem of immature bones, the head and neck muscles of youngsters that age are not yet strong enough to withstand the rigors of tackle football. Those muscles aren't fully developed until the mid to late teens. Because of those two factors which Atkinson calls medical facts, he does not recommend a green light in letting youngsters the age of HYAA teams play tackle football. "Medically, my opinion of rocket football is bad,” says Dr. Atkinson, who adds the number of severe injuries at that level can be directly traced to playing tackle football. Atkinson points out that in only one year of HYAA football he knew of two broken wrists, a dislocated elbow, and two broken fingers. Whereas at the varsity level where the kids are more developed, Hastings head Coach Jeff Simpson says be expects only one, maybe two major injuries a season. Murphy agrees one of the major arguments for keeping his seventh grade son from playing is injuries. “If 1 didn't think my son was physically ready by the eighth grade he wouldn't play," he says. The fear of a major Injury is something that parents have to contend with, says Hastings freshman coach Randy Holley. If Homecoming 1984 Sights, sounds, and other pertinent information from last Friday's Hastings Homecoming: It's a half hour before game time and an old college baseball teammate, now Albion's freshman football coach, is spotted coming across the field. He asks who’s been seen and who hasn’t since college days. Pretty soon the talk is switched to Albion's probable all-stater. Maurice Ware. The coach says Ware, Albion’s flanker, running back and sometime quarterback, is being recruited by all the biggies like Michigan, UCLA, Arizona State, etc. Hmmm. Better keep on eye on Mr. Ware tonight. The band tromps on the field to play the National Anthem while the Hastings choir adds the vocal. Excellent job. Now there’s four minutes to go in the first quarter and Hastings, recovering afumbleat the Wildcat 27, has a golden opportunity to draw first blood. A pass moves the bail to the 8, which is as far as the Saxons gel. They surrender the ball on downs back at the 24. A few minutes later Hastings' Floyd Gates goes down with an injury. Finally he is helped off the field as the Albion players clap. A class act. The first quarter ends scoreless, but if the game was a boxing match, the round would go to Hastings. Now it's midway through the second quarter and Albion is running the ball down the field as easy as Jane Fonda does stretching exercises. The Saxon defense, however, rises to the challenge and slops the Wildcats at the Saxon three-yard line. Funny, we never see goal line stands like that on Sunday afternoons in Pontiac. Idle thought No. I: Why do the cheerleaders seem younger every year? Now it’s almost halftime and Albion shanks a punt out-of-bounds at its own 34. Ho-hum. Time to hop down to the hot dog stand before retiring to the press box for the second half. But wait. Mike Matthews spots Mike Pickard streaking down the right sideline toward the end zone and lets go with a desparation heave. Pickard gathers it in for a touchdown as the half ends. Amazing! Holy Cow. how would Harry Cary call that one? Cancel that hot dog order Halftime is spent watching the coronation of King Dave Kensington and Queen Bev DeCamp. Wonder what trouble J.R. is brewing on Dallas tonight? Oh geez, don’t start that all up again. The new ki ng and queen and court are paraded in front of the grandstand and homecoming is over for another year. How long before the Tigers open? Now it’s the third quarter and Ken­ sington, who with his size has a career awaiting him as a wrestler on WTBSAtlanta, bulls his way into the end zone for a 14-0 Hastings lead. Boy, a hot dog with mustard and catsup would hit the spot right about now. Matthews is still hitting passes right and left. Maybe they’il nickname the offense “Air Coryell.’’ Albion takes the kickoff and marches down the field, finally scoring to cut the lead to 14-6. This is starting to get interesting again. Showing remarkable character, Hastings comes right back with another touchdown as the fourth quarter opens. You guessed it. it’s Kensington again. Turn out the lights... ft’s standing room only in the press box. Who’s ever heard of no room in the press box for the press? Idle thought No. 2: Wonder if the hot dog stand is still open? Mr. Ware heads to the sidelines with an apparent injury. We won’t see him again. Now there’s only about five minutes left and Kensington ices the game with another touchdown. It’s 28-6 and lime to begin thinking about post-game festivities. How surprising department: Not many criticisms being heard in the stands tonight. The clock runs out. the Saxons have won their second straight Twin Valley game, and third place doesn't seem quite so outlandish now. It's probably the most impressive Hastings win a certain imported sportswriter has seen in two years A glance at the stat sheets shows major-college bound Mr. Ware with 34 total yards. Still interested. Bo?...Bo? Hastings principal Robert VanderVeen is bumped into on the way out. He's asked how many people he figures are here. About 1.500 to 1.800. he an­ swers. 28-6, huh? Bet most of them are happy. "Not on my team, but 1 can only speak for my team." says Roy. Hastings Athletic Director Bill Karpinski, who as a coach won or tied for eight cham­ pionships in better than 20 years at five high schools, is a backer of the HYAA program. He has seen numerous youth football programs such as the HYAA. and Karpinski says they can help young football players adapt to the game. "It depends on how they’re run,” says Karpinski. "If it's run with proper objectives in mind, then it's fine. "1 think this program is well-run. They're doing everything the right way. h's a verypositive thing." As far as the quality of coaching and the teaching of proper fundamentals at that level. Karpinski says fundamentals have to be redone each year anyway because of the physical changes a player undergoes al that age. Thus a youngster is not likely to pick up and eternally retain fundamentally bad habits from a poor coach that will hurt him later on in his high school career. For example, says Karpinski, a boy that stands 5-9 and weighs 150 one season might grow to 5-11, 160 the next year. Despite whatever the boy learned the first year, he will have to be taught new fundamentals simply because his body has changed. "You continually work on fundamentals,” admits Karpinski. One of the important assets of playing organized football at the youth level is in­ the parent realizes what can conceivably happen and yet still lets the youngster play, Holley has no problem. “If each parent is willing to handle it, that’s it,” says Holley. A second reason why Murphy frowns on youth football is the coaching. It is hardly a secret that nowdays many parents can become overly involved in the success of their son's or daughter's athletic team. Murphy says all too often he has witnessed coaches more concerned with winning and piling up impressive records than with following the HYAA charter. "Some of them are in it more for them­ selves than the kids,” says Murphy. "It’s just a feeling I have; I’m not even sure if it's true." As for the ability of HYAA coaches to teach proper fundamentals, Holley and freshman assistant Steve Hoke, won’t criticize other coaching techniques, but say they prefer to start from scratch at the freshman level. They acknowledge each coach has his own opinions on technique, stance, the proper way of tackling, etc. “You redo things, but that happens at the varsity level too," says Holley. "We do it if for nothing more than our peace of mind," adds Hoke. A third detriment to football at the HYAA level, says Murphy, is what he calls the "burnout factor." Murphy wonders how long it will take a youngster that begins playing competitive football at nine years old to completely wash his hands of the sport. “I question whether they’ll still enjoy it that much later on,” he says. Holley concurs. He cites the example of former Hastings assistant coach Mike Poff, troducing the kids to contact. Randy Holley. Hastings freshman coach, says it is im­ portant that youngsters encounter hitting before they get to the freshman level. "They'e not afraid to hit," says Holley of his players who have played HYAA ball, "whereas some are. It's definitely a plus." The plusses of HYAA football don't stop with fundamentals, however. As the father of two boys who have played sports since they were old enough to walk. Karpinski knows the frustrations and anxieties of watching a son perform whether it be on a football or baseball field or basketball court. He sympathizes with parents that lend to become overly involved in their youngsters activities. “It’s only human nature for parents to want their kids to do well." says Karpinski. “I don't think I realized that until I became a parent. "Parents can say things in the heat of the moment, like any competitive person, and they regret it later." Injuries cannot be avoided at the HYAA level, and Roy admits he sees his share. Despite his opposition to tackle football at HYAA ages. Dr. James Atkinson, longtime Hastings physician and unofficial Saxon team doctor, says he would rather see the kids play in a supervised program rather than the alternative. "I think if they want to play tackle football, il should be supervised as opposed to sandlot football." he says. now Central Michigan’s offensive line mentor. Poff began his football career in the youngest youth football levels, played jour years of nigh school, and later was a collegiate All-American. By the time he finally quit playing, he was sick of the sport, says Holley. If he hadn’t began playing that young, that might not have happened. "He was glad when football was all over," says Holley. "That’s a concern." Another offshoot of rocket football that Simpson spots at the varsity level is what he calls the "superstar syndrome." This is where a youngster who, simply because he is taller and heavier at that age than most <rf his youth football counterparts, dominates a game. Which is all fine except when other kids begin catching up to him in size and stature and the boy is no longer the star of the team. When this happens the days of 400-yard games and dozens of touchdowns come grinding to a mentally unacceptable halL Simpson hates to see what all too often comes next. "I don’t think he handles it well,” notes Simpson of the player by the time he makes the varsity.“How do you explain to him why he is not . achieving things like that anymore?” Any program involving youngsters aged 913 must be monitored closely. As far as the HYAA program there appears to be pluses and minuses on each side. But perhaps Karpinski sums it up best in a single statement. , "The bottom line," he says, “is that it’s only a game and the sun will rise tomorrow.” Hastings eyes 3rd place It was a lazy, hot afternoon in late August and Jeff Simpson was leaning against the stone monument at the west end of Johnson Field. He was discussing the primary goals of his 1984 Saxon football team. As usual Simpson was realistic in assessing whether his team possessed the talent to win a Twin Valley football title. Yes, he said, the team would definitely be improved. No, he said, there wasn't enough talent to beat out a Lakeview or a Sturgis. Simpson said instead of being league champs, maybe third place was more realistic. Now it's a cool, breezy, leaf-strewn af­ ternoon in late October and Simpson is sit­ ting at his desk inside the Saxon fieldhouse. His Hastings football team has smashed Harper Creek and Albion on successive Fridays and third place is now as close as a win over unpredictable Hillsdale this Friday. A win Simpson wants very much for the Saxon football program. "It would be great for us," he said. “We’re looking good right now, playing the best football of the season. We're real optimistic going into the last two games of the year." First on the schedule is Hillsdale (1-5 league, 2-5 overall), which Simpson believes can easily spring an upset if not treated with due respect. The Hornets los» only 25-13 to Twin Valley co-leader Sturgis last Friday and is a team which has been in almost every one of its games to the usually bitter end. "The line that separates a good team from a bad one is sometimes pretty fine," said Simpson, who notes that Hillsdale has straddled the line all season. For the Saxons to finish third, two things must happen. First, they have to win the game to finish with a 4-3 league mark. Secondly, Coldwater, now 4-2, must lose to Sturgis, a distinct possibility since the redhot Trojans have won six of seven games this season including a convincing upset of co­ leader Lakeview. IF Sturgis can smell a Twin Valley cochampionship by beating Coldwater, and IF Hastings doesn’t let down against the Hor­ nets, the Saxons should be able to finish third. Actually, the league could finish with four teams at 4-3 if Marshall and Albion also win their respective games. Hastings lost to Coldwater earlier this season but beat Marshall and Albion. The Saxons’ win over Albion last week was practically textbook perfect. As Simpson said after the game, "Everything was there. There wasn’t much we did that didn’t work.” Mike Matthews had his finest night at quarterback in two years completing 10-of-16 passes for 136 yards, a touchdown, and no interceptions. Running backs Bruce Hoffman, who was coming off a 198-yard effort against Harper Creek, and Dave Kensington tore up the Albion defense on the ground with 106 and 102 yards respectively each. The resilient Hastings defense held Albion to a meager 95 yards rushing and only 177 yards total. Now the effort is only needed once more to fulfill a coach’s late August prediction. Meanwhile, the other four Barry County high schools are also busy in this the eighth weekend of the prep season. And, like Hastings, some of chances to finish as high as second in their respective leagues. For instance, there's Middleville (5-2 overall, 4-2 league), who will battle Caledonia for second place in the O-K Blue league. The Fighting Scots have also won four of six league contests. And then there’s Delton (4-3,3-2), which is waging its own battle for third with Kalamazoo Christian, another KVA team with two league losses. Delton travels to Parchment this Friday. Another county team, Maple Valley (3-3-1, 3-3), completed its league season in third place. The Lions entertain Potterville in a non-league contest. And finally, surprising Lakewood (5-2) has the unenviable task of playing at Capital Circuit league champ Lansing Catholic Central.

Child-rearing tips given by PTA Raising children who are helpful, con­ siderate, and sensitive to the needs of others is no easy task. An article in the October issue of PTA Today, the National PTA's magazine, offers suggestions for how parents can teach children to care about others. According to Thomas Lickona, a professor and developmental psychologist, and author of the article, the following ideas can help parents raise caring children: — Use the power of positive example. Parents can influence children's moral development by setting a good example, and by using sources such as children’s books that feature kind and caring characters. At the same time, parents should limit children's exposure to bad examples. One way is by controlling television viewing. — Give children plenty of love. Build a strong bond of love between parent and child by spending time together. It will help children value themselves, and in turn learn to value others. — Foster a caring atmosphere in the home. Share and discuss everyday experiences at the dinner table. When conflicts arise within a family, try to solve them fairly, in a way that meets everyone's needs. When problems develop outside the family, members can offer support to one another. — Give children responsible family rales. (A Harvard study shows that the more responsibilities children are assigned the more they learn to care for others.)

Appeal bond denied for contract killer by Ken Reibel A Barry-Eaton Circuit Court Judge Friday denied an appeal bond for Domingo Salazar, who was sentenced in October. 1983, to two mandatory life terms for inciting to murder two witnesses against him in an arson trial. “There is no question that this court considers Mr. Salazar to be an immensely dangerous person." said Judge Richard M. Shuster. “I’m satisfied that Mr. Salazar is where should be. I don't want to jeopardize society by taking him out." Attorney Gale Rodwin. assistant defender for the Stale Appelate's Office, argued that her client had "substantial grounds for appeal". Oral arguments are scheduled for Nov. 11 before the the Michigan Court of Appeals, which will decide, among other issues, the validity of Michigan's incitement statute. Salazar was convicted of "inciting, in­ ducing, or exhorting" an undercover agent to kill a Michigan State Police detective and a witness in Salazar s arson trial, while an inmate at the Barry County Jail, in October. 1981. Neither murder was carried out. leading the defense to claim that before a person can be an aider and abettor to a crime, there must be a crime. "There was no murder, so there was no aide and abet to murder." wrote Rodwin. Rodwin further asserts that Salazar was entrapped, that life imprisonment for in­ citement to murder constitutes cruel and unusual punishment, and that Michigan's incitement statute was intended to apply only to civil disorders. Atlomies for the Prosecutors' Appellate Service, a division of the State Attorney General's office, stale that Salazar was not entrapped, and that police were acting on rumors that Salazar wanted to murder the state trooper. The stale claim* that an undercover agent was placed in Salazar's jail cell because “The police and prosecutor believed a ‘wait and see' posture would have been inimical lo any law enforcement duty concerning the protection of the lives of all citizens." “The defendant (Salazar) expressed a desire to blow (the state trooper and witness) to bits", according to the state's brief. "The people believe the incitement occurred when (Salazar) asked (the witness) to get the explosives for the defendant's expressed intent to build a bomb to kill two people." Rodwin points out that Michigan's in­ citement law was passed in the wake of Detroit's 1967 riots, and she claims the intent of the legislature was to apply the new statute to "large scale disorders." "Incite, induce, and exhort are words which themselves imply imminence of ac­ tion." wrote Rodwin. The slate's brief claims that the incitement statute docs apply to the Salazar case — "Clearly, the legislative intent and public policy behind the incitement statutes precludes waiting to see if the defendant ultimately carries out his intent to blow the intended victims to bits." VOTE TUESDAY! Polls Open...7 a.m. to 8 p.m. by Robert J. Johnston With several hotly contested local races into their final days, workers for both the county Democratic and Republican parties are making plans for getting voters to the polls in support of their candidates on Election Day. Candidates for both parties have been canvassing *ne county with literature and posting their signs in every spot available during the past few weeks. The most hotly contested local races are: — Register of deeds, opened up by the retirement of incumbent Howard Ferris, matching Republican Sandy Schondelmayer against Democrat Rose McMellen; — Sheriff, matching incumbent David O. Wood against Harold Keena, retired from the Michigan State Police; — County commission, with a rematch of P. Richard Dean and incumbent Bernard Hammond in Rutland and Irving Townships, which Hammond won two years ago by 67 votes; and a race for the Thornapple and Yankee Springs townships seat being vacated by James Gordon, where Cathy Williamson, who lost against Gordon by 140 votes two years ago, faces Regina Stein, * county planning commission chairman. Republican Drain Commissioner Audrey Burdick is being challenged by Democrat John Loftus in a more low-key campaign. Two townships have Republicans and Democrats facing each other for supervisors positions. Incumbent Democrat Robert Edwards, appointed as Rutland Township supervisor upon the retirement of Forest Foley in June, is being challenged by Republican Clarence Hause and political newcomer Republican John Rough, Jr. is running for Yankee Springs Township supervisor against Democrat Charles Biggs. In Assyria Township, former Supervisor Jack Love is the Republican candidate on the ballot but he is being opposed in a sticker write-in campaign by incumbent Republican Supervisor Larry Carpenter, after losing to Love in the primary. Incumbent Republican Baltimore Township Supervisor Wayne C. Miller is being challenged in a write-in campaign by R.C. ‘‘Pete" Dull, who was one of two candidates defeated by Miller in the Republican primary. "In the last week our party is making its last efforts of going door-to-door where requested by the candidates," Bob Edwards, Democratic county chairman said. "Volunteers will also be telephoning to en­ courage people to get out and vote." Kenneth Radant, Republican county chairman, said that his party is making similar efforts through the candidates, who are at work distributing campaign literature. Volunteers will be telephoning supporters from Republican headquarters on Election Day to encourage them to vote. Both parties are offering rides to the polls for those people unable to drive themselves and who haven’t voted by absentee ballot. Voters can call the Democratic headquarters at 948-2780 or Republican headquarters at 948-2785. “The opposition pulled out all stops in two or three races (at the county level)," Radant said, “but I predict our candidates will do well on Election Day. I think the voters will weigh the fact that several candidates have no experience with the offices they are seeking." Edwards countered by saying that one of his goals since becoming county chairman last year has been to offer people a choice at the polls through qualified candidates. “It's good for the community to have a mixed philosophy (in county offices)," he said. "It’s healthy to have a mixture instead of all one way.” The last Democrat to win election to a county officer’s post was in the mid-1960's. The Democrats, however, obtained control of the Board of Commissioners two years ago. Two Democratic commissioners, Rae Hoare and Paul Kiel, are running unopposed, and three Republican commissioners, Carolyn Coleman, Ted McKelvey and Richard Landon are unopposed. The two seats with races will determine the control of the board. Edwards went on to say that with many new people moving into the county in recent years, the voters are being more candidate oriented and less party oriented. "I’ve never been a strictly party oriented person," Edwards said. "The Democratic Party has taken different philosophies under its wing and people can express their views. That’s why we have flourished so well." Turning to Congressional races, Radant predicted that Republican state Sen. Paul Henry of Grand Rapids will carry the nor­ thern half of the county that is in the Fifth District, but he didn’t expect Jackie McGregor, the Republican challenger to Democratic incumbent Rep. Howard Wolpe, to carry the vote totals in the southern hatf of the county in the Third District "Wolpe is well liked and respected,” he said. “Jackie McGregor made some mistakes in campaign style. I personally was upset by her campaign style. I think she should have stuck to issues instead of per­ sonality. Unless Ronald Reagan's coat tails are very, very long. I don't think she can win." The Republican chairman said that he is much more optimistic about Henry’s chances to defeat Democrat Gary McInerney. He said Henry is well respected and has a solid record that reflects the district and Barry County. “Our candidates will do well” —Radant “It's good to have a mixed philosophy"-Edwards Edwards agreed that Wolpe is strong in the Third District and said he has no doubts that he will retain his seat. The Fifth District, however, is a very close race, he said. “The Democrats chose a candidate very worthy of that position who they thought could handle the district very easily," Ed­ wards said. "I worked with Henry for nine years in the legislature and he tends to stay away from issues. McInerney is very up front." While predicting a clean sweep of the county for Ronald Reagan and George Bush, Radant said that Republican Senate can­ didate Jack Lousma might win Barry County, but the election won't be decided here. “In Barry County, Lousma should do very well,” Radant said, “but that race will be won or lost in Southeast Michigan." Radant said that Ronald Reagan's strength in the county will flow down into votes for local Republicans. Edwards said that Democratic presidential candidate Waiter F. Mondale's str- ngth in the county has been affected by his failure to get his message across to the people. “He knows the issues, but issues tend to be unexciting," Edwards said. Five-year old finds fiddlin’ just fine Robert and Mary Tack of Hastings* may have a musical genius on their hands, fiveyear-old son Bobby, who performs bluegrass fiddle and even transposes songs he hears to the instrument Bobby and his dad performed a medley of country tunes Saturday at the Barry County Community Center before a crowd of 200 fiddle enthusiasts gathered for the Original Michigan Fiddlers’ Association jamboree. "He was real excited about today,” said his mom. "He said ‘When I'm through playing, can I stay and play, too?"’ Bobby first learned to play "Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star", written 220 years ago by Wolfgang Amedeus Mozart, another musical prodigy. From there he progressed to such standard folk tunes as "Old Joe Clark", "Go Tell Aunt Rhodie”, and "Old Suzanna." Mom says he’s been practicing “Amazing Grace". "His ear is developing really well,” said his dad, who adds that Bobby's training is in classical violin. “Sometimes he’ll play a classical piece, then play the same song in bluegrass style just by changing the bowing." "Bobby has a good ear, he's been around music," said his father. Robert plays guitar, and makesand sells hammer dulcimers, and his mother plays mountain and hammer dulcimer in a bluegrass-gospel band. Right now. Bobby's performances are limited to dulcimer club meetings, recitals at the Suzuki School in Battle Creek, where he studies violin, and at the Cedar Creek Church, where his family worships. Bobby Tack, backed up by his father Robert, plays before 200 fiddlin' fans at the Original Michigan Fiddlers' Association jamboree lost Saturday. �Page 2 — The Hastings Banner — Thursday, November 1,1984 VIEWPOINT: Commentaries from our editorial staff and the community — “Weed petition” fails, lake group to try again by Ken Relbel Algonquin Lake residents will again have to rely on the goodwill of their neighbors to fund next year’s weed spraying, after petitions for a special tax assessment were invalidated by Rutland Township officials. Sick of elections? Members of the Algonquin Lake Com­ munity Association (ALCA) voted Monday night to go with the voluntary payment plan for the next three years, in lieu of the assessment district, despite the fact that about one-third of the lake’s residents con­ tributed to the $9,100 spraying last year. Even before we've gotten to the polls, we're already hearing talk and reading reports about who the contenders are for president in 1988. We’ve been watching Walter Mondale i un for president since he left office as vice-president in 1981 and Ronald Reagan spent ten years preparing himself for his inauguration day. It’s no wonder people say that they are sick of politics and sick of elections. Candidates for federal, state, county and township offices make charges and counter-charges and it's difficult to know who or what to believe. We often hear remarks that people find politics distasteful and most politicians will agree that politics can be a dirty business. It’s understandable that political battles can be hard fought. Political control is a big prize. Even at the local level, the candidates for county commission will have control over a M million budget. The winner of the race for sheriff will be responsible for protecting lives and property of 'citizens. Complicated legal problems, property rights and property values are at stake in the work of the drain com­ missioner and the register of deeds. The people we vote into office as members of the House of Representatives, the Senate and as president and vice-president set the priorities for the nation. They have substantial influence on everything from national defense and economic issues to who gets an appointment to West Point. When you have a problem with a Social Security check or bureaucratic red tape, the kind of person you send to Washington will dictate the kind of action you will receive in dealing with your problems. You might be sick of politics, sick of elections and sick of govern­ ment, but virtually every part of modem life is influenced by govern­ ment action at either the local, state or federal level. The "Govern­ ment” was built and is controlled by the people who go to the polls, the people who pay attention to candidates and issues and the people who are active in politics. If you sit out next Tuesday’s balloting or go to the polls without knowing anything about the candidates, then don't complain about the “Government" the next time you disagree with the politicians. Vote Tuesday. The polls are open from 7 a.m. toB p.m. Members also voted to draft a letter to the Department of Natural Resouces, asking its opinion on drawing the lake level down three feet sometime next year, to give property owners a chance to clear their beaches. ALCA needs petitions from property­ owners representing 65 percent of lake frontage in order to set up the assessment district. The last batch of petitions presented to the Rutland Township board in September, were invalidated due to errors in property descriptions and signatories, ac­ cording to Robert Edwards, acting Rutland Township supervisor. indentSI on* lCA'* 1,84 "awly drolled petition **"• P<” SharP«- ,h- Stoop'.

Though the township board has the final say on setting up a special tax district Edwards said the board would in all likelihood go along with it "If that many owners want the district, then the chance of the township board not granting the petition is pretty slim." An assessment district would last three years. The cost per developed lol could be as high as $50. with a flat $10 fee charged per undeveloped lot. There are approximately 367 lakefront parcels. ALCA officials say a three year assessment would enable the lake to enter into a contract with weed sprayers, which in turn would help assure a better price, and guard against inflation. Monday night's meeting also saw the in­ troduction of ALCA’s 1985 officers. They are Pat Sharpe, president.

Algonquin Lake is an impoundment, created in 1927 to develop a resort area. Plans went awry during the Great Depression of the 1930s, and the riparian and surrounding properties were platted for residential development. Jury trials set for accused burglary ring members Trial dates were set Friday for two Battle Creek men charged with operating a burglary ring in Barry and several other Michigan counties. Danny Rae Carnes, 22, will stand trial Nov. 19 for breaking and entering of a binding, in connection with the July break-in of the Summit Steel Corp, warehouse on Railroad Street. Bert Miner, 42, is scheduled for a January 28,1985 trial for breaking and entering, also in connection with the Summit Steel burglary, and being an habitual criminal offender, with at least four felony con­ victions.

If we set up an illegal assessment district, the township could get sued. It only takes one person who doesn’t like the project to sue, and halt the project, so it has to be done correctly,” Edwards said Sept. 18, 1985 is the deadline for the signatures to be verified, and for the petition to be to acted on by the township board, in order to collect for the 1986 weed spraying He characterized ALCA’s petition drive as a last minute effort" that didn’t give the township board enough time to act in order to fund the 1985 spraying. "The signatures weren’t turned in until the last day this year. We didn’t have enough time to validate signatures for the 1985 spraying." William E. Harrington, 23, was sentenced to one year in the Barry County Jail and five years probation, for fourth degree criminal sexual conduct. Harrington was arrested Sept. 15 for molesting a minor child in a downtown discount store. T’arry-Eaton Circuit Court Judge Richard M. Shuster called Harrington "unpredictable and a threat to the community," and said that if the defendant has been charged with a more serious crime, he would receive a longer sentence. The crime of fourth degree criminal sexual conduct is a misdemeanor punishable by no more than two years in prison. “The difficulty here is in protecting society," said Judge Shuster. “But the law does not afford the court much opportunity to protect society." Harrington received 42 days credit for time already spent in jail. Clarence Leroy Bowyer, 28, Briggs Road, Middleville, pleaded not guilty to firstdegree criminal sexual conduct. A trial for Bowyer is set for Jan. 28,1985 at 8:30 a.m. LETTERS to the Editor: Reader questions defense spending To the Editor: The Russian K.G.B. couldn't have done a slicker job of sabotaging our national defense and national economy the the person or person's, authorizing payment of $5000 for a 50 cent Allen wrench, $24,000 for a $24 wrench and etc., etc. for our armed services.

WlldoMcKibbln Michele Service Jim Vance Jandy Wetherbee Proposal C gets approval To lhe Editor: » Where did freedom go? The freedom to vote is a privilege, a privilege I hold very dear. I can not understand why the educational system in Michigan would want o use such large amounts of money to defeat Proposal C. Why don’t they want the people of this slate lo vote on how their money is spent. Proposal C seems lo be a big issue with the educational community. Not allowing the people of Michigan the right to vote on tax issues is not the answer to education. The answer lo funding education needs to be corrected at the state and federal level. How many Michigan citizens have written to their state representative and suggested some other means for supporting school other than by property lax? Let us, as a people, unite lo solve the problems and regain our voting rights, rather than point a finger at Proposal C. which would give us back the right to vote on issues that concern us; a right which we should never have lost. If we are smart enough to earn the money, we should be smart enough to have a voice in how it is spent. If we are smart enough to elect our representatives, we are also smart enough lo have a voice in how they spend our money. Please vote "Yes" on Proposal C and regain our voting rights and the privilege of passing this on to our children and our grandchildren, or we will forever be liable and known as the generation who had a choice, but gave its voting rights away. Dixie Brand Vermontville Norm Galbreath Vance Backe QUESTION With the presidential campaign ending on Election Day next week, and most the national news focusing on that subject, we asked several residents to remember other (belter?) times, namely ‘who’ their favorite president was during their lifetime, and •why'. WUda McKibbln, Hastings— John Ken­ nedy. I always have voted Democrat. I think he was a smart man. He thought things out before he made a decision. Michele Service. Hastings— John Ken­ nedy. He did his best. He seemed to get along with a lot of people. He seemed like a nice guy Jim Vance. Hastings— John Kennedy. Because he wasn't afraid to stand up for what he believed in. For instance, during the the Cuban Missle Crisis he told them (the Soviet Union) he would move in if they didn’t remove the missies. They called his bluff and he started to move in. 1 don’t remember too much about him though, except what I've read in the history books. I was only about three at that time. I usually vote Republican though. The Republicans have always been my favorites. Mel Austin Ace Randall Sandy Wetherbee. Hastings— John Kennedy. I thought he had the guts to stand up for what he believed in. Norm Galbreath, Hastings— John Ken­ nedy. I liked his personality and his attitude and the way he went about accomplishing the solution to problems put before him. Vance Backe. Hastings— Ronald Reagan. I think he got the country back on its feet again. He got people back to work. I feel he should be president again. Mel Austin. Hastings— Franklin Roosevelt. He was mine. He got us out of the Depression. 1 was pretty young then, but we had a pretty tough system before that this presidency). Ace Randall. Hastings— John Kennedy. Kennedy knew what he was talking about. He was for the people. A lot of the stuff (legislation) that came, he didn’t veto. Reagan vetos a lot of stuff that comes up now. They have the people so confused now, they don't know who to vote for. The world is so corrupt and in such bad shape they don't know who to put in there. �From Tims to Tims... - ---------------------------------------------------------------------- by...Esther Walton Kim Sigler— Our Most Flamboyant Politician Both parties, Democrat and Republican, ran him for office. In an article written by Detroit Free Press Lansing Bureau correspondent James Haswell about Dec. 18,1943, Kim Sigler is described as "the rootin' tootin’ cowboy lawyer from the great, wide western plains”. The article was written about Sigler when he was ap­ pointed special prosecutor of the CarrSigler Grand Jury Investigation of Legislative Graft in 1943. According to the article, and con­ firmed by local people who knew him, Kim was a legend in his own time. The article said, "Kim Sigler cer­ tainly is known far and wide in south­ western Michigan as the gaudiest, most dramatic and one of the most suc­ cessful prosecutors ever to wear a big black hat and sport a malacca cane." "Sigler spent 20 years in this rockribbed Republican city (Hastings)," it noted. "The folks elected him prosecutor on the Democratic ticket a few weeks after he landed in town, and they re-elected twice — back in the days when to be a Democrat in outstate Michigan was to be a bit eccentric.” In describing Sigler, the article went on, “People never forget Sigler... his lean, knife-edge face, his keen hypnotic eyes, his great, rolling voice which roars and thunders through a cour­ troom, or, on occasion, drops to a whisper like a prayer. People remember his striking gray hair, split with a startling white lock; his com­ manding courtroom manner. "Most of all people remember his clothes. Sigler introduced spats into Barry County. He owns dozens of suits, varys his costumes to his mood..." The article then describes one of Sigler’s outfits... “He wore a light, grey, form-fitting topcoat, with a big black velvet collar. His wide-brimmed soft felt hat was coal black. His suit was blue with a white pin stripe, set off by maroon tie and handkerchief, and maroon-and-grey socks. His vest was of pearl gray, and his white shirt was stiff with starch. Ruby cuff links and black silk ribbon for his eyeglass completed the ensemble.” Sigler was not content to buy his clothes “off the racks” at the local clothes stores, he had his suits made for him by McCall's tailors, located on Court Street. Sigler was born in Schyyler, Nebraska, on May 2. 1894, the son of Daniel and Bertha Zeigler. During the first World War. persons with German last names anglicized their names, so Kimber Zeigler became Kim Sigler. In the article, he is quoted as saying, “I suppose my right name was Kimber... but (I was) called Kim from the beginning.” While in high school, he boxed as a lightweight from Omaha to Denver. In 1913, went to University of Michigan for two years. In 1915, he switched to the Detroit Law School and finished his schooling there. He married Mae L. Pierson on Nov. 7, 1918, then practiced for a few years in Detroit while, according to Haswell's article, he “looked about the state for an opening in a small city." To that end he visited Bad Axe, Vassar, Monroe and other places, and one weekend he and his wife drove into Hastings. They liked the town. Thomas Sullivan, a local, well-respected lawyer, had died and Sigler arranged with the administrator to continue his practice. "Right from the start, he was dramatic... the Democratic com­ mittee... offered the chance to Sigler (to run as prosecu^r). He accepted, won the election, two years later won re­ election, and then won a third term before returning to private practice. He closed h’s Democratic career by running against Wilber M. Brucker for attorney general in 1928 — but of course without a chance of election." That, related the article, "was before Roosevelt. Since then, Sigler has gradually assumed Republican colors.” What was not known al that time was Sigler was to run and win the nomination for Governor of Michigan in 1946 on the Republican ticket. In 1942, Sigler moved from Hastings to Battle Creek to enter partnership with Burritt Hamilton, author and authority on corporation law in his time. The Hastings Country Club gave Sigler a banquet and Prosecutor Lawrence Barnett said he was kinda’ glad to see Sigler go. According to the article, Barnett was quoted as saying “I’ve tried 48 cases against Kim and I think I’ve earned some kind of a pen­ sion. It's been a tougher assignment than any 10 lawyers in Michigan can boast. But never once has Sigler been unfair. His ethics are beyond question." Barnett also said his average of vic­ tories against Sigler was good. Continuing the saga on Sigler, Haswell reported that almost anyone in Hastings could produce a Sigler story. Some of the stories were that he carried the first malacca walking stick ever seen in Barry County ; he always asked for a match, never carried his own; and he could, and would, make a Fourth of July speech about the Bill of Rights and the American Constitution at the drop of a hat, anyone's hat. When Sigler was District Governor of Rotary, he visited Europe and made such a heart-warming speech to the Rotary Club of Hastings, England, that his British cousins sent the Rotary Club of Hastings, Mich, a plaque commemmorating the occasion. Sigler's Hastings law office was the marvel of the county. It had deep pile, wine-colored carpets; genuine oil paintings, lighted by special lamps; a ten-foot, long-carved walnut desk; and red leather, padded, high-backed chairs for visitors. His waiting room was stocked with current novels, plus the writings of Dickens, Freud, and James Fenimore Cooper. People came there just to see the place. Sigler was chairman of the Barry County Selective Service Board before he moved to Battle Creek. He didn’t like to play cards or fish or hunt. Hastings Rotary Club members once played a good joke on Sigler. The man behind the prank was George Miller, who owned the Miller Furniture Store in Hastings. George made a sign reading, “He profets most who serves best". The club members all knew the misspelling would irritate Sigler. They also knew that George “slayed the King's English" and that Kim Sigler loved to needle George. This never bothered George Miller, as George could and did out-think Kim on many occasions. Part of the Rotary Club’s fun during the noon hour was listening to these two bait and tease each other. When Kim Sigler saw the sign George made, he proposed turning it to the wall. This was exactly what George wanted him to do. So the gleeful members turned the sign and on the back was a cartoon of Sigler riding a two-headed animal with one donkey's head and one elephant's head. Sigler served on the Grand Jury from 1943-1946 and in November of 1946 was elected Governor of Michigan. He served one term and during this time tried to centralize management of state affairs, to prepare and administer the budget, to centralize purchasing, and to oversee the uniform accounting system. Governor Sigler asked for constitutional amendments to increase the terms of governor and other ad­ ministrative officers to four years; to give the governor power to appoint the Attorney General and Secretary of State; and to give authority to the legislature to fix salaries. However, the legislature rejected these recom­ mendations. Governor Sigler's term ended on January 1, 1949. After leaving the governor's chair, he practiced law in Lansing. Governor Sigler was later killed when he flew his airplane into a TV tower iiear Battle Creek on Nov. 30, 1953.

Cub Scout packs and Boy Scout troops will begin their annual “scouting” popcorn sale in November. Costing $4 a bucket, the attractively packaged “Trail’s End Gourmet Popcorn” is sold by scouts as a major fundraising cam­ paign benefiting packs, troops and Explorer posts. In 1983, the first year of the popcorn sale, over 14,600 buckets were sold, according to Popcorn Coordinator Edward Baker, who in­ dicated that more than 2,500 scouts from more than 100 Cub packs and Boy Scout troops will be in uniform — taking popcorn orders on a door-to-door basis. It is anticipated that popcorn orders will actually be delivered to the door by the scouts in early December. Roy C. Horsley _________ GRAND RAPIDS - Mr. Roy C.

But. voters in Carlton. Hastings, Hope, Johnstown. Prairieville, and Thor­ napple townships will have no cl Dice at all because the grassroots candidates seeking township offices are running unopposed unless they should be challenged by writeins. The most political campaigning is in Rutland Township which has three separate races. In that township, there are contests for the supervisor's post; the clerk's office and the two available trustee seats. In Maple Grove Township, the race is on for the clerk’s position and the two trustee seals. For the top township post of supervisor, there are only two races in the county that will appear on the bailot. Those contests are in Rutland between Democratic Incumbent Bob Edwards and Republican Clarence Hause and in Yankee Springs where Democrat Charles Biggs is challenging Republican John Rough Jr. However, in the townships of Assyria and Baltimore, two men have been actively conducting write-in and sticker campaigns for the supervisor's spot in their respective boundries. In­ cumbent Republican Assyria Township Supervisor Larry Carpenter is conducting a sticker campaign to try to regain his job by running against Republican Jack Love who is the only candidate with his name printed on the ballot for Assyria supervisor. Car­ penter was bumped off the ballot when Love defeated him in the August primary. In Baltimore Township. Incumbent Republican Supervisor Wayne C. Miller is the only name printed on the ballot for the supervisor's post, but he is being challenged by write-in hopeful R.C. "Pete” Dull who was defeated for nomination in the August primary. Candidates for treasurer in the townships of Barry and Orangeville also face op­ position. For the office of township clerk, there are races in Irving and Woodland townships. Trustee races are in Castleton Township besides Maple Grove and Rutland. All of the township board offices are fouryear terms and voters in each township will be filling two trustee seats plus the posts of supervisor, clerk, and treasurer. Besides the traditional posts, voters in Prairieville will be electing six park com­ missioners who are running without op­ position. And in Rutland and Yankee Springs townships, voters will elect two unopposed constables in each township. The following is a summary of all the township candidates: Assyria Township — Jack Love.

Harold Keena, whose career has taken him from a Hastings City Police patrolman, to Undersheriff of Barry County, to the Michigan State Police, to undersheriff of Eaton County, outlined a plan for making the Barry County Sheriff Department "more responsive, more efficient, and more professional." Keena said the people of Barry County would benefit by cooperation between the sheriff’s department and other police agencies. "I know that when the department has only one car on the road, as is often the case, it is necessary to call on the assistance of other departments," said Keena. "I think there is room for improvement in this area. Police agencies should not compete. We should be using all the resources available to answer citizens’ complaints, and further reduce response times," said Keena. "It only makes sense to make better use of the taxpayers’ dollars.” Keena says it is important to keep a chain of authority and leadership within the administration of the sheriff depart­ ment. "If I'm elected sheriff, I intend to be available. Nobody should suffer for lack of a knowledgable person who has the responsibility to help." * DEMOCRAT★ REGISTER OF DEEPS Rosas art red, Violets are blue, McMellen la right for me and you! Rose Haywood McMellen was born and raised on a farm in Rutland Township 52 years ago, the daughter ot Ray and Meta Haywood. After gradua­ tion from Hastings High School she married and continued to reside and work in the county. Ed and Rose later adopted 2 children. Rose has worked: "More efficient, more responsive, more professional." Sheriff deputies receive a basic amount of training in first aid, firearms, traffic laws, and other areas. However, Keena said it is necessary to offer to lawmen refresher courses from time to time. "One thing I learned while I was undersheriff of Eaton County, is that other public agencies and emergency per­ sonnel are often eager to lend a hand in sharing their ex­ pertise ” said Keena. "Ambulance personnel can be called on to give refresher courses in first aid, and the Michigan State Police, with the large resouices they have at hand, are qualfied to teach additional criminal investigation, latent print recovery, and accident investigation. "We have very skillful, very intelligent people working for th» sheriff department, and they deserve the best that this state has to offer," said Keena. "One of the responsibilities of the Barry County Sheriff Department, or any other law enforcement agency, is making information of its activities available within a reasonable time,” said Keena. "Our sheriff deputies have reason to be proud, and getting the word out on the work they are called on to perform each day goes hand in hand with that pride," said Keena. "If elected sheriff. I intend to be aware of the activities, and will insure investigation and follow-up reports."

Incumbent Howard Wolpe and Jackie Congreo McGregor, an unorthodox and outspoken Re­ publican, offer voters a clear difference in ideology and political approaches. Rep. Wolpe has one of the most liberal voting records in the House, but has held his district by remaining accessible to voters and stressing constituent service. Mrs. McGregor, on the other hand, has unnerved some state Republicans with her zeal for pursuing public office. After a brief tenure as vice-chairman of the state party last year, she announced that she wanted to run against Carl Levin. That didn't sit well with party pooh-bahs, who had selected a candidate. Undaunted, she decided to run against Howard Wolpe shortly before this year’s filing deadline. The difference in politics is equally strik­ ing. Rep. Wolpe has an execrable record on domestic matters — except for his criticism of the Synfuels Corp. — supporting Walter Mondale’s tax-increase plan, and historically opposing as “unfair” President Reagan’s tax­ cutting initiatives. His performance on the Foreign Affairs Committee of the House is even more alarming, for he fits Jeane Kirkpat­ rick’s description of those who “always blame America first." He called the U.S. invasion of Grenada "arrogant,” has opposed aid to El Salvador and to “contras” in Nicaragua, has supported aid to Marxist regimes in Africa but not to non-Man.ist regimes. He supports a nuclear freeze, oppose? the B-l bomber, MX missile, and deployment of American missiles in Europe. Mrs. McGregor takes the opposite stands on these issues. Our preference in this race is clear. Despite her unorthodox approach to politics we sup­ port Jackie McGregor in the 3rd District.

Freida Laurent The old-fashioned style wooden swing on the porch of the Sherman St. home of Freida Laurent gives a clue to the cozy atmosphere inside the Nashville residence that Mrs. luiurent has called home for the past 70years. Although born in Kalamo Township, Mrs. l^iurent says she has lived at her Nashville address since age eight when her family moved there on Jan. 1, 1914. The town has changed greatly since then. She recalls the era when freight trains i umbled through tevn three times a day and when passenger trains were a daily sight. “We got so used to them that we didn't even hear them. I miss them now,” she says. "There was a lime when 1 knew who lived in every house in the central part of town. Even if I didn't know them personally, I knew their name. Now I couldn't name half of them." Schools have changed considerably loo. Mrs. Laurant gradrated from Nashville High School in 1924. She recalls that her class was comprised of 20-students of which 13 were boys. The late Winn Green, former owner of the Reminder, was a member of that class. At that time, the high school was located in the present day Kellogg Elementary School. "I think that’s the third school building there." Freida was employed as a bookkeeper for the former Lentz Table Co. for about five years following graduation from high school. The company was located just a few blocks away from her home and she believes it employed more people than any other company ever located in the village. Freida was married to the late Harry Laurent. She has two stepchildren Virginia Lobiz of Pennfield and Charles Laurent of California. Mrs. Laurent talks with pride about them and the seven-grandchildren and nine-great-grandchildren and one step-great grandchild and several step great­ grandchildren. A member of the United Methodist Church in Nashville, Freida teaches an adult Sunday School class. She also taught children's Sunday Schoo) classes for many years and she adds, "I still do enjoy children." In her spare time, Freida loves to read, create different kinds of crafts, and enjoys her "good neighbors." She does some crochet work with yarn and also does croknilting. Piecing quilts was an activity she often pursued when she was younger. Cooking and collecting new recipes are still current interests. “I used to do a lot of baking, especially at Christmas for gifts and company," she said. One of her favorite recipes is one for molasses pecan cookies which her daughter gave her. The cookies "freeze well and they are moist and chewy,” said Freida. Another favorite is Hot Donut Spinners. "I found that recipe in a magazine years ago. It's a good way to use old donuts," she said. recipes.

Now a second hurdle, every bit as important as the first, must be overcome this Friday by the Hastings football team. The Saxons, fresh from a 21-13 conquest of Hillsdale that earned Hastings a third place in the Twin Valley, now must overcome a genuinely talented Delton team if they are to post a winning record in 1984. Hastings is 4-4 overall (4-3 league along with Coldwater and Albion) with the Panther clash this Friday in Hastings the Saxons’ last hurdle in achieving their goal of a winning season. It may be pointed out that since the Saxons have already attained their goal of finishing third, a non-league. season-ending game would be of no consequence to them. Not true, says Hastings Coach Jeff Simp­ son. “I can't say no. 1 wouldn't expect it," Simpson says of a letdown. "But the momentum is there right now and Delton has never beaten us. "We’ve had some good games with them in the past, but I don't think these kids want to be known as the first team ever to lose to Delton." The Panthers, with their somewhat sur­ prising 6-2 record, are no pushover, says Simpson. “They're a good team,” he points out. "We're not overlooking that." Delton, which finished third behind Kalamazoo Hackett and Galesburg Augusta in the KVA, comes into the game with three wins in its last four games. The Panthers smashed Parchment 33-13 last Friday on the road. The team's firsl-year head coach, Rob Heethuis, is looking forward to playing Hastings. "It's a fine rivalry and Hastings is a good team," he says. "We know they've won three in a row and they're peaking. It should be an excellent game." Like Hastings, the Panthers rely on a strong running game led by Wayne Bourdo and Dennis Munson. Senior quarterback Steve Tuin, playing his first year at the position, has done an excellent. Defensively, the team is led by middle linebacker Mark Hammond, Tuin in the secondary, and co-captain linemen Kyle Aukerman and Jeff Neeley. The Saxons, meanwhile, have been putting some impressive offensive stats in the books the last four weeks. During that time Hastings has averaged 300 yards per game total offense. Spearheading that offense is junior speedster Bruce Hoffman, who had been splitting tailhack time with Jim Cruttenden before his Cruttenden's injury. Since taking over full time. Hoffman has gained 372 yards. Hastings fullback Dave Kensington has complimented Hoffman well by scoring five touchdowns the last two games and now has seven for the year. In other games involving Barry County­ teams. Middleville (6-2) entertains Wayland. The Trojans wound up a highly succesful season tied with Comstock Park for second place in the O-K Blue. Another successful team. Lakewood (5-3), takes on rival Ionia in Ionia this Friday. The Bulldogs have lost only to Lowell and Chesaning this season. One team that hasn't fared nearly as well as anticipated is Maple Valley (4-3-1), who closes out its season at home against Kalamazoo Christian. Sports Saxon golf team closes on banner year despite... Eleven-year-old Todd Nickerson shows off his trophy which he won at the Mich­ igan Open Karate Championships. What mokes it even more interesting is that Todd only has one arm. No handicap will stop this 11-year-old local boy Karate is a difficult enough sport with two arms. Todd Nickerson of Hastings knows what it’s like with one. Todd, son of Mr. and Mrs. Paul Nickerson, was bom 11 years ago without the lower half of his right arm from the elbow down. He doesn’t consider it much of a handicap and, in fact, is a member of the Hastings Wado Ryu Karate Club, which the elder Nickerson teaches. And it’s not like Todd is into for karate just for want of anything better to do. He recently finished third in the pee wee novice sparring class in the fall Michigan Open Karate Championships held at Hastings High School. There were 20 other youngsters in Todd’s ‘‘ring’’ in the tournament with Todd beating three of four opponents to finish third. For his efforts he was awarded a large silver trophy, the third trophy Todd has captured in two years of karate competition. “There were a lol of good fighters there,” said the personable younger Nickerson. "More than I’d thought there’d be." The get around the handicap of only having one arm, Todd puls a type of "glove" over his elbow. He admits, however, the glove feels strange when he’s going through the forms and fighting aspects of karate. How then, does Todd get through a grueling karate tournament? "1 think about winning a trophy," says Todd with a small grin. The best way, says Todd, to win a trophy is to believe in oneself — something he learned at an early age. “At first I didn’t believe 1 could do some things," admits Todd. “But then the doctor said I could do anything I wanted to. Like he taught me I could tie my own shoes.” Speaking of soccer, Todd admits, "I still have to get better yet. I have a long ways to go yet." Todd's father, Paul, says karate actually is a perfect hobby for a handicapped youngster. In fact, he says, it's the best thing for him. “Il conditions Todd for everyday life," says the elder Nickerson. "It builds his character, promotes respect, this type of thing." If Todd continues his improvement, something else karate might build is Tody's trophy case. Sizzling Hastings pops BC Lakeview, 71-63, in basketball Behind the most balanced scoring attack of the season, the sizzling Hastings basketball team blasted Lakeview 71-63 Tuesday night in Battle Creek. Amy Atkinson led Hastings with 29 points on 8-0M8 from the field and 13-of-14 from the line. She added 15 rebounds and two assists. Stacy Owens added 11 points and Laurie Snyder chipped in ID. Suzie Carlson tossed in 8 points while Shari Maurer and Kim Galbreath added 6 each. The win upped Hastings record to 7-7 overall and 6-4 in the Twin Valley. Currently Coldwater leads the Twin Valley with an 8-1 mark. Marshall and Albion are each 6-3 followed by Hastings. The win was the fifth in the Saxons’ last seven games. Hastings trailed 37-35 at the half, but behind 8 points by Atkinson and 6 by Snyder, the Saxons pulled into a 57-56 lead after three periods. The Saxons outscored their hosts 14-7 in the final 8 minutes to win going away. Meanwhile, the Hastings jayvee team lost its first game of the year to the Spartans, 4237. The loss leaves Hastings with 9-1 Twin Valley and 13-1 overall marks. Heather Prucha led Hastings with 9 points, 9 rebounds, and 7 steals.

The cost is $6. by Steve Vedder A small smile plays at the corners of Gordon Cole’s mouth when it's suggested that his team was better off when Battle Creek Lake view wasn’t in the Twin Valley golf picture. Cole. Hastings’ second-year golf coach, isn’t about tostar t any flaps. No verbal darts winging back to the Cereal City here. The sly smile vanishes before Cole an­ swers Hie question. "I'm happy La'-.eview is in our con­ ference," Cole said seriously. "Athletically and academically they’re top notch. The Twin Valley is composed of several fine schools and they’re one of them." None the less, if any team was responsible for keeping the recently completed Saxon golf team's season extremely successful as opposed to plain exceptional, it was Lakeview. Consider: — Hastings, which finished runnerup, would have snared a Twin Valley title except for Lakeview, which won the overall cham­ pionship. — Hastings, which finished second, would have won its regional except for Lakeview, which won another in a long line of regional titles. — Hastings would have finished among the top three Class B teams in the state except a certain Battle Creek school beat them out for third. The Saxons settled for fourth. — In three of the four Twin Valley meets Hastings finished a commendable second. Want to guess who breezed through all four league meets this fall? Still, Cole said. Lakeview’s link exploits can’t dim a highly successful Hastings golf season. “1 really didn’t expect us to be in the state finals," admitted Cole. "I was simply tickled with finishing second in the league. “I mean that was our season, I thought. Anything beyond that was icing on the cake. And then when we managed toqualify for the state people began asking me how 1 thought we'd do.” The team did just fine, as a matter of fact. It became the first Hastings team to qualify for a beeth in the state meet since the 1978 team, which finished seventh. Add a runnerup finish in the Twin Valley and a 15-2 record in non-league matches (now 29-2 over two years) and we’re talking success — and not all together unexpected success either. “We knew coming in that Harper Creek would be tough because they had three all­ leaguers coming back.” acknowledged Cole. "What we didn't know was how good Lakeview was going to be. Cole said Lakeview has had a long history of traditionally outstanding golf teams.

The Hostings golf team completed an outstanding season recently by finishing fourth in the state in Class B competition. The core of that team was (from left) Dave Backman, Mark Brown. Nick Willison. Dan Willison and Mike McLean. The team also finished second in the Twin Valley and had a 15-2 record in non-leaaue matches. (Photo by Mik* Hook) "We didn't know if there would be a carryover." says Cole. To say there emerged a carryover would be like saying King Kong was just another monkey. In fact, Lakeview coach Carroll Jensen, a former Hastings teacher-coach in the late 1950s, went on record as calling this year’s Lakeview team his best ever. Anyway. Cole knew Hastings, like the Battle Creek schools, would have to be dealt with in 1984. No less than 28 prospective golfers turned out for the first practice back in early August. That lis- was pared to 17 and eventually a mre of five was selected. Two-time all­ league senior Mark Brown, with three years of experience under his belt, and fellow seniors Dave Backman and Mike McLean, both with two letters each, were the veterans. Toss in brothers Nick and Dan Willison, a sophomore letterwinner and a freshman, and the team was as strong as any Hastings had fielded in recent years. Cole said balance is a key word in describing the 1984 team. “We didn't have a guy who could shoot a 72, but we also didn't have anybody that would shoot poorly." said Cole. "All five guys were always in contention." The only problem was that one school... HHS to host shooting clinic Dick Baumgartner, a well-known basketball shooting instructor, will present a shooting clinic for Hastings-area boys and girls on Nov. 17 from 9:00 a.m.-noon and 12:30 p.m.-3:30 p.m. The morning session is for the younger players while the afternoon session is for high school age players.

Hastings City Council member Mary Lou Gray agrees it's the coming thing YMCA Director Dave Storms thinks it would be nice. Lee Tracy, a coach, says there’s no time like the present. Unfortunately, brand spanking new soccer fields aren't built with Green Stamps or shopping bags stuffed full of returnable bottles. Soccer fields have to be accounted for in budgets, even as large of a budget that runs a city the size of Hastings. Gray, chairman of the council's parks and recreation committee, says the council has authorized the moving of several pieces of playground equipment at Tyden Park and "will see what’s in the budget" for adding an extension to park’s existing soccer field next spring. Gray says there apparently is a need for more, or at least improved soccer facilities, in Hastings. "It’s the coming *hing," she says. "I was surprised at how many kids played soccer, and it isn't exclusive to boys and girls. The parents gel as excited as the kids and that's what it's all about." With 400 kids enrolled in fall and spring leagues. Storms says the soccer program is the largest youth program the YMCA runs. It involved youngsters kindergarten through the eighth grade with game or practices currently being held al North and Southeastern schools, and Bob King and Tyden Parks. In addition, the high school has of­ fered the use of the practice football field next spring — the first time the school has offered the use U that facility. “It would be nice to have another field,” says Storms, who adds the crunch has been lessened with the offer of using the practice field. The use of the practice field will allow for the abandonment next spring of the Bob King field, which ideally is not suited for soccer in the first place, says Storms. Storms contends, and Tracy, a coach in the YMCA soccer program who approached the city council about a new field, agrees that the Bob King field is an accident waiting to happen. Tracy contends youngsters have cut and scrapped their legs when they fall on the gravelly softball infield part of the field. Other problems include the drainage manholes spread about the field, the fact that the field is not all city-owned property anyway, and if the leagues were to be moved next spring, the field could be used by baseball or softball teams in the spring. It’s time.” Tracy says of a new field. "Soccer is here and there isn’t a facility for it." The gracious offer by the school system of donating its practice field and the possible enlargement of the Tyden Park field would more than solve the quandry of where to play soccer. The Tyden extension is an issue the city council should consider this winter. If they don't, does anybody know how many Green Stamps and bottles it would take to raise some extra cash? �The Hastings Banner— Thursday, November 1, 1984, Pace 15 Jr. Highers vie for title — Scoreboard YMCA YOUTH-COUNCIL'S ADULT INDOOR SOCCER Game results for Oct. 24.

The Saxons moved into the title bracket of the four-team, 10th Annual Hastings Invitational, held at the junior high, by defeating Pennfield, earlier in the week, 22-6. Wayland, meanwhile downed Delton to also move into the championship round. The seventh grade team was eliminated during the first round, falling to Penn­ field, 28-15. They then came back to win the consolation gome against Delton, 1811. Wayland won that seventh grade tourney as well, prevailing over Pennfield earlier on Thursday.

This week in outdoor Michigan Hunting Th?se cold mornings have improved lhe hunting situation. Deer activity has increased. Their movements are becoming more regular and predictable Asa result, bow hunters are seeing more and having better success. The small game opener Saturday was slow as predicted. Pressure stayed about the same as last year. Birds are scattered and rabbits are still difficult to locate in the heavy brush. Woodcock hunters ex­ perienced a big boost this weekend. A major migration flight came through the area — birds were flushing all over the place. The big trick EVERY WEEKEND Starting at 4 p.m. every Friday and all day on Saturdays Hamburger 39 Double Cheeseburger 99c “A great place for good taste' is to hit the little buggers. Well, there were many op­ portunities for all. success depending on the shooter. Geese are also moving around more with the cool weather. Allegan Management Areas has harvested 2,750-.birds as of yesterday and the refuge is harboring between 15,000 and 18,000 Canadas. Note on the time change: Saturday night the time changed back to standard time. Be sure to check your waterfowl guide for the new shooting times. Also, the drawing at Fennville Farm Unit will begin at 5:30 a.m. on Sunday. IajsI Licenses Many questions coming in on this subject. If a person loses their license, they must purchase a new one (at any license agent) and then apply for a refund through Lansing. The forms to do this onareavailableatall license agents. If the kill tags are lost, a new license must still be purchased and the form sent in to clear the computer, but a refund will not be issued for lost kill tags. Because of this, it is a good idea to keep your kill lag in your wallet and just have the back tag in the holder on your back. R.A.P. The department still needs your help to stop violations of the state's fish and game laws. Keep the toll free RAP hotline number handy (1-800292-7800). This office can be contacted during the week from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. (6856851) and the state police posts have contact with officers when we are closed. When reporting a violation, you should attempt to get as much of the following information as possible: 1) Make, model, color, unusual characteristics and license number or registration number of any vehicles, snowmobiles, etc. that are connected with the violation. 2) A physical and clothing description of the violator or violators, backtag numbers, type of equipment carried or any other features that would aid an officer in identification. 3) Type of violation, or suspected violation, place, time, and dale. 4) Type of game or fish taken, if any. 5) Do you know the violator? 6) As soon as practical, after witnessing a violation, write the above information down to refresh your memory and relay the info as soon as possible by con­ tacting any of the above numbers. Like father, like son On Nov. 1, 1949 Vem Smith (above left) of Hastings bagged the first recorded buck in Barry County with a bow and arrow. Shown with him on that occasion was his father, the late Forest ‘Red’ Smith. Last Wednesday afternoon (Oct. 24) Vern’s son Jeff Smith (below) of Johnstown Township bagged his first buck with a bow and arrow, a four-pointer which dressed out at 130 pounds. Smith, a 16-year old junior at Hostings High, shot the dear on a neighbor's farm. Jeff has been hunting deer with a bow for the past two years. Vern said that his Dad, a moil carrier was one of the original archers In Barry County, belonging to the Hastings White Pigeon Club and the Hastings Broken Bow Club, both located In the Yankee Springs area. He noted also that the first bow season for deer in the county was in 1948 with the first gun season coming the following year. That’s right.

An Open Letter... Recently the Board of Education of the Hastings, Delton Kellogg, Thornapple Kellogg and Barry Intermediate School Districts spoke in opposition to Proposal C. Their concerns were expressed because Proposal C would hove far reaching and serious consequences for the school districts in Barry County, and throughout the state. Immedaitely, over one million dollars of local tax support could be lost to the above schools. All school districts hove just recently restored programs tnat had to be cut back because of the recession that affected the Michigan economy. These districts had to pass additional millages to provide the full programming now available to the students in the county. The passage of Proposal C would be a very serious threat to education in the school districts of Barry County. Further, the State of Michigan would have to implement State Aid reductions, which would further cripple our school systems. We hope that you will consider the serious affect that this proposal will have on all your children and grandchildren, and vote NO on Proposal C. John R.

Parent-teacher conferences at Hastings Nov. 7-9 Parents of students of the Hastings Area Schools will shortly be receiving notification of the annual fall parent-teacher con­ ferences. Conferences are designed to discuss children’s progress in school and to answer questions that parents may have regarding the instructional program. Conferences this year are scheduled for Wednesday, Thursday and Friday, Nov. 7, 8 and 9. Parents' conferences with elementary schoolteachers are scheduled individually by appointment. Teachers will send ap­ pointment slips home with students during the week prior to the conference week. At the junior high school and senior high school, teachers will be available for con­ ferences during lhe conference schedule. On Wednesday and Friday afternoons, con­ ference hours al both schools will be from 1 to 3 p.m. Evening hours will be on Thursday from 5:30 to 7:30 p.m. at lhe junior high school and 6:30 to8:30 p.m. at the senior high school.

This is to balance attendance between the two days and thus avoid long lines and waiting. Students will attend school half-days only during the three conference days. On those days, buses will pick students up at the elementary schools at 11:30 a.m., at the junior high school at 11:35 a.m., and at lhe senior high school at 11:40 a.m. There will be no afternoon kindergarten classes on these days. �The Hostings Banner - Thursday, November 1, 1984, Page 17 Woodland News Woodland Lions Club held a Ladies Night last week. The dinner entree was curried chicken breasts cooked by Bonnie McLeod. After dinner, raffle tickets were sold and numbers drawn until every lady present had won a prize. Among the 46 people present were special guests. Mr. and Mrs. Larry Smith of Lake Odessa. After dinner and the festivities, Mr. Smith showed slides of a trip to South America that he and Bennie took last winter. They toured Peru, Argentina and Brazil. The slides of the Carnival at Rio de Janeiro were especially enjoyed by the gentlemen. Richard and Mildred Brodbeck plan to hold a 50th wedding anniversary celebration on Sunday afternoon, Nov. 4, from 2 to ? at Cunningham’s Acre on Highway 50 near Lake Odessa. They want all their neighbors, family and friends to come. It is requested that no gifts be brought. Mr. and Mrs. Emerson Lockrow of Grand Rapids were guests of Mr. and Mrs. Harold Stannard Friday evening. Mr. Lockrow was a fraternity brother of Mr. Stannard’s when they attended University of Michigan. The Lockrows spent the night at the Stannard home in Woodland, and on Saturday the couples traveled together to Ann Arbor where they went to the football game and saw University of Michigan win over Illinois. After the game, they enjoyed dinner at a restaurant in Ann Arbor before returning to Woodland. Woodland United Methodist Church held its annual Fall Festival on Saturday. The festival included an all-day bazaar, a complete lunch and a complete dinner. The evening meal was escalloped potatoes and ham. The church benefited from the festival by over $1,000. Around 100 people enjoyed each of the two free-will offering meals. Tempting baked goods and homemade doughnuts were sold all day, as well as hand crafts and other handmade items. On Sunday evening, 20 children and young people of Woodland Methodist Church went out to trick-or-treat for UNICEF. They were accompanied by 12 adults. Following the trick-or-treat rounds, the group joined with other youngsters and adults and rode two hay wagons out to the Bump farm on Velte Road where they had a Halloween party. The party included a hot dog roast and lots of other food. Spooky stories and poems were read to the young people. Five-year-old Megan Daniels and her parents, Mr. and Mrs. Roger Daniels, were visited by early, and very mean, Halloween tricksters on Saturday night. Megan and her daddy had spent the summer growing some very large pumpkins, and they spent Saturday carving the largest of her pum­ pkins. It weighed over 70 pound,. When Megan came in for dinner on Saturday evening, she and her daddy left the carved jack-o-lantem on a wheelbarrow beside the back steps to their house, completely out of sight from the street. That night someone stole the wheelbarrow, the jack-o-lantern, and the next largest pumpkin from the back yard. Needless to say, Megan is very unhappy over the loss of her largest two pumpkins, her jack-o-lantern already carved in one of them, and Megan’s parents are very upset over the loss of their very fine and expensive wheelbarrow. The family of G. R. and Mercedeth Mc­ Millen held an early Christmas celebration on Sunday afternoon. Besides a complete turkey dinner, the family exchanged gift* Those who were present besides Garold and Mercedeth were their two sons, Pete and Kip; their two daughters-in-law, Mary and Sheila ; grandchildren, Tim, Amy and Kerry McMillen; Kerry’s wife, Theresa (McCall) McMillen, and great-granddaughter, Shelley McMillen. The Heraldera Quartet will be coming to Zion Lutheran Church on Nov. 11. They have been coming every fall for so many years that people have lost track of exactly how many it has been, but it is around 20 now. A potluck supper will be held at 6 p.m., with the concert to follow at 7 p.m. This quartet is made up of men from Holland and Grand Rapids. The public is welcome to the concert Kilpatrick Brethren Church Youth Group o high school-aged youngsters held a hay ride on Saturday evening. Ten children of the church and nine guests rode in two wagons pulled by David Brodbeck's tractor. Bruce Marsteller drove behind the wagons in his Blazer to light up the rear end of the tractorand-wagon train so that no one would hit them from behind. After the liay ride, the group returned to the home of Steve and Sheila Carter for a hot dog roast and supper. The youngsters were accompanied on the ride by George and Nadine Speas and Marvin and Kristy McNew. Cathy Arnott is trying to arrange to have all available copies of the old Woodland News newspaper microfilmed as part of her post graduate work at the University of Michigan where she is compiling a history of Woodland Township. Some years (1889 to i903) are bound in volumes in Charlton Pari and several years are stored in acid-proof boxes in the Woodland library. However there are gaps in the dates of these papers. If anyone has copies of old Woodland newspapers to around 1938, when the paper was discontinued, and would not mind len­ ding them to be microfilmed in case they are needed to make a complete set, she would appreciate it very much if they would notify Mrs. Catherine Lucas at the Woodland Township Spindler Memorial Library, or at P.O. Box 128, Woodland, Ml 48897. Mr. and Mrs. Morell Smith donated two very desired volumes to the Woodland Township Spindler Memorial Library last week. They are a copy of “Timberland Times", written by Dean Eugene Davenport. This book tells about life around Woodland in the second half of the 19th century and how people lived on the heavily wooded frontier. The library has had only one copy of this book and has not been able to let it leave the building. This additional copy from Mr. and Mrs. Smith may be very carefully circulated on a limited basis. The second volume donated by the Smiths is an additional copy of the "History of Allegan and Barry Counties" that was published in the 1880s. Both of these books were inscribed to the memory of Franklin Smith, son of Morell and Fanny Smith, by his parents. Steven Williams injured his hand in a flange press accident at the Benieler Corp, in Grand Rapids recently. This is a machine that makes flanges for auotmotive exhaust systems and the injury happened while Steve was working. He spent a week in But­ terworth Hospital and was released last Wednesday. He said that the doctors expect that he will be off work for two or more months. Jim Friddle has completed his training in the Air Force and is home on leave for a few days. Jim had basic training in Texas at Lackland Air Force Base, and then he went to Lowry Air Force Base in Colorado for training in munitions and weapons main­ tenance. When he returns to duty, Nov. 6, he will be stationed at Hill Air Force Base in Utah. Keagan Britney, infant daughter of Roily and Sharon Krauss, was baptised at Zion Lutheran Church on Sunday morning. Her sponsors were Ed and Connie Spannagel and George and Karen Rummel. The members of Zion Lutheran Church held a short meeting after Sunday morning worship this week and voted to start the layled Bible study program, known as "Sear­ ch”. Three members of the church volun­ teered to work on this project. They are Douglas MacKenzie, Larry Raffier and Bill Freedlund. They will receive a short training at Adrian College in the near future. It is hoped that the first unit of this Bible study will start in January. It will not be limited to Lutherans. Anyone who wishes to participate in a weekly Bible study program will be welcome to do so. Choir plans musical The Hastings High School Choirs will present the musical "South Pacific" on Feb. 21, 22 and 23 in Central Auditorium. "South Pacific" was first performed in Hastings by the high school choirs, under the direction of Herb Moyer, in 1963 and again in 1973. The musical contains many songs which have become standard literature. Hastings High School Choir students will be auditioning in November to fill the cast of approximately 40 members. Rehearsals begin in December, and tickets will be available in February. Subscribe Today!

A majority of Michigan deer hunters, therefore, will eat their hearts out — in­ stead of the much sought after venison — unless they plan wisely for a successful season. To improve a hunter’s chances of success, the Michigan United Con­ servation Club (MUCC) has published a list of recom­ mendations by veteran deer hunters. Writing for "Michigan Out-of-Doors", MUCC’s monthly magazine, Tom Huggler, an Otisville author of three books on the out­ doors, cites a number of pointers which will help both beginning and experienced deer hunters. For example, scouting for deer before the season is a big factor as to whether a hunter will be successful, according to Huggler. Generally, he recommends that scouting take place a week or two before the season begins. Waiting until the evening before the opening day is foolish, Huggler says. When searching for a prime hunting area, deer hunters should bear in mind where and how they plan to assemble their blind or stand. Hunting right on top of a runaway or breeding scrape is a sure way to scare off an incoming buck. Building a ground blind which does not blend in with the surroundings is quite likely to do the same thing. A blind, preferably bu;lt a couple of weeks before the season, should be made of logs, stumps, or branches of downed trees. Ideally, the blind should be fashioned into a hillside or around a smali depression so that it becomes a natural part of the surroundings, Huggler suggests. A tree stand, legal only for archers, is best if itis located in a cluster of trees — with plenty of cover overhead — rather than along a single bare trunk. The optimum height for a stand is 15 to 20 feet above the ground. Once your hunting site has been established, another important consideration is approaching the blind or stand. More times than not, hunters tend to spook deer rather than sneak up on them. So on the way to and from your hunting spot, try taking three steps, then stop and count to 10 before moving again. The reason is that animals rarely move with measured tread through the woods and hunters should do likewise, Huggler points out. While some deer hunters might have great success by using only one blind or stand during a season, certain veterans are strongly op­ posed to that practice. Hunters should have two stand locations to play ’he wind game. Being flexible I also can help hunters to focus on deer movements that change with hunting pressure. Another key point to consider when hunting for deer is clothing, which should be warm enough and not make a lot of noise as it brushes against cover. Although it is important to I remain out of sight, hunters should make sure that they I have the deer within their gunsight — to assure an I accurate and humane kill. Taking a poor shot, by not being familiar with the hunting equipment, often can result in a lengthy, | frustrating, and sometimes fruitless pursuit of a wounded deer. I A final — but quite noteworthy — consideration is the hunter’s physical fitness. Once you have killed that trophy buck, you will probably have to haul it back to you- vehicle. Make sure that you are fit enough to do so. A brisk walk and a few morning exercises long before November 15 can prepare a hunter for what can be a tremendous strain. "A 150-pound buck pulls none too easily over bare ground for a hunter whose only exercise has been trips to the office waler cooler," Huggler emphasizes.

Or Texas. Maybe even far-off California. But whether yon favor the South or West have you con­ sidered the energy bargain you would be leaving behind in the Great Lakes State? Even if.’ like most of us. you intend to move no farther than your favorite armchair this winter, you may he interested to know* what folks in other parts of the country pay for the same amount of electric power. '’Bargain” may not l>e the description that comes first to mind when you think about utility bills. But all things are relative, and the cost of electric­ ity in Michigan compares very favorably with the Sunbelt rates that lie at the end of 1-75 or 1-80 Some comparisons will illus­ trate the point. They are liased on an average consumption of 500 kilowatthours (kWh) a month, which excludes water and space heating but may allow for a little air conditioning. Consumers Power Company's current rate for this level of con­ sumption is $31.66, as of the October 1984 bill. In the com­ parisons which follow, July 1984 rates—the latest available— will be quoted for other utilities. Incidentally, the Consumers Power rate at that time was $29.96. So let’s switch on the air and head down to Florida... Should you choose to spend the winter in Miami you Ixrcome a customer of Florida Power and Light, whose 500 kWh rate was $48.63. St. Petersburg (Florida Power Company) was a little cheaper at $41.89. And so was Tampa (Tampa Electric Com­ pany) at 43.49. But don’t forget that Con­ sumers Power's rate is $31.66! Perhaps you prefer the wide open spaces of Texas. Houston Lighting and Power Company will welcome you at $40.58. Swinging northwest will bring you to Phoenix, where Arizona Public Service Company's rate was $48.00. Palm Springs (Southern California Edison Company) offers some relief from the desert dryness—and high electric rates—at $39.06. But if you w-ant to siesta in San Diego, hold on to your wallet! San Diego Gas and Electric Com­ pany charged $58.93—almost DOUBLE the current Con­ sumers Power rate ($31.66, remember) for the same amount of power. In fact, the average rate Con­ sumers Power residential electric customers paid last winter was 25 percent below the national average. Michigan may not be able to offer burnished beaches in the dead of winter. But compared with many other states, it can let a little sunshine into your electric bill. 24-352-E Kinetico Water Processing Systems. This unique.

Hastings. 49058 (11-8) The spirit of Richard M. Bauer was released into eternity on Wednesday af­ ternoon, October 24, when his cremains were scattered over his beloved 2O-acre Sanctuary in xiiral Barry County. Max died September 27 and was cremated the next day. Father Wayne Olmstead, formerly of Hastings, now of Wisconsin, officiated at the committal service, attended by more than 25 family, friends and the family pet. The sun shone brightly on The Sanctuary, reflecting like diamonds on the golden leaves of the Beechwood trees. Two bittersweet bushes were planted prior to the committal service. They were raised and grown from slips by a close friend. In silent reflection, walking to the committal site, peace and tranquility abounded in the majestic pines, colorful bittersweet and holly, salt licks, corn cobs and natural shelters for the Sanctuary inhabitants. The rolling hills, gurgling stream and singing birds provided an appropriate setting for the final rites for one who so loved nature. The plaque on a field­ granite boulder, marking the committal site, quotes Wordsworth, “Come forth into the light of things and let nature be your teacher". Gathering in The Sanc­ tuary, many spoke of Max, as he influenced and enriched their lives. "Max saw a strength, commitment and belief in nature," said one tc whom Max had con'ided. “If only mankind could return to an understanding of nature and living in harmony," Max at one time told another. "Max truly understood beauty," said another. "Max was more sensitive than most regarding beauty," reflected another. A nephew read Henry Wadsworth Longfellow's poem "The Day is Done" in his uncle's memory. “Max was a generous, noble and loving friend," spoke another, "generous not of material wealth, but he gave of himself." “Max found beauty in everything," said yet another in at­ tendance. “He taught an appreciation for the Creation of God," commented yet another. As Father Olmstead then read from scripture, com­ mending Max's soul to God, committing his ashes to the ground, "earth to earth, ashes to ashes, dust to dust, in a sure and certain hope of the resurrection", a nephew scattered Max's cremains, fulfilling Max’s request, in the spirit of love and friendship, in the solitude of the land Max loved so dearly. "In God's mercy and protection, we commit you, Max," concluded Father Olmstead This distinctive service was fitting for so unique and powerful a person who enriched the lives of many, protected and provided for Nature's many species, and who commanded his destiny even in death. The spirit of Richard M. Bauer (1910-1984) shall live forever in the minds and hearts of those who took the time to know and love him. � https://barrycountyhistoryportal.org/files/original/19/511/HastingsBanner_1984-11-08.pdf 2e474d3f54b18671ea030cc6dee8264b PDF Text Text ___________________________ 1 ...wrap Shuster wins 6-yr judge’s seat Richard M.

John David Primm, 27, had repor­ tedly locked himself in a travel trader, but was talked into surrendering by Trooper Al McCrumb. Primm, an inmate in the Eaton County Jail, reportedly overcame his jailer Sunday morning, tied him up in a closet, and escaped with another in­ mate. The second inmate was captured a short time after the break out. According to Lt. Richard Zim­ merman, Hastings team commander, McCrumb had responded to a 5:30 p.m. call from a woman who reported a suspicious character entering the travel trailer, and Primm’s identity wasnot immediately known. Primm was in jail for fleeing and eluding a police officer, and felonious assault at the time of the escape.

Hoare, a Democrat running un­ opposed, won the District 7 Board of Commission seat. Republican Dean, meanwhile, defeated incumbent Bernard Hammond in the third district. While national Republicans were enjoying their historic landslide in the presidential balloting Tuesday night, local GOPers were also celebrating victories in two Democratically-held board of commission seats. Paul R. ‘Dick’ Dean, of Rutland Township, won the District 3 seat, defeating Democratic incumbent Bernard Hammond, 1,588 votes to 1,273, while Cathy Williamson, of Thornapple Township, won the District 2 seat, beating Democratic candidate Regina Stein, 1,765 voles to 1,167. The wins give the local Republicans control of the seven-member board of commission for the next two years by a 5 to 2 margin. Currently the Democrats enjoy a 4 to 3 advantage. The other five board seats were all un­ contested with Democrats Paul Keil and Rae Hoare and Republicans Carolyn Coleman, Richard Landon, and Theodore McKelveyall incumbents— returning for another twoyear term. There were 20,678 ballots cast in Barry County, a 74 percent turn out of the registered voters. Williamson, 41, who is a sales associate with Beuhler Real Estate of Grand Rapids, credited Reagan's coattails for her victory. “I*m not afraid to so that,” she said the Proposal totals mirror outcome Voting totals in Barry County on the three constitutional ballot proposals mirrored the results statewide. Proposal A, the admendment seeking to make the joint administrative rules committee of the legislature part of the constitution, went down in the county 10,031 votes to 7,Oft. Statewide, with 83 percent of the vote in, it was 1,464,494 ‘no’ votes to 1,109,081 'yes’ ones. Proposal B, the admenefcnent to establish a constitutional ly-pro*ected recreation lands fund, was supported locally 11,868 votes to 5,531. Statewide the vote so far is 1,620,446 'yes’ and 889,188 ’no’. Proposal C, the controversial ‘Voters Choice Tax Admendment’, fell in the county 10,404 votes to 7,736. Statewide the vote so far is 1,637,387 ‘no’ and 1,061,786 ‘yes’ II Thursday, Novembers, 1984 Voters support OOP court picks Barry County voters supported the three judges who had been nominated by the Republican Party during its state convention last summer for positions on the non-partisan state supreme court Statewide, two of those candidates won. Dorothy Comstock Riley— who briefly sat on the supreme court after her appointment by then Republican Gov. William Milliken in 1982, but was ousted after Gov. Blineard nominated Patricia Boyle— won her race against incunbent Thomas G. Kavanagh for an eight-year term. With 81 percent of the state vote in, Boyle had 1,256,595 votes to Kavanagh's 860,083. Countywide she received 7,802 votes to 6,033. Boyle, seeking a six-year term, was the lone Democratic-supported can­ didate to win. She beat former U.S. Senator Robert Griffin. The latest vote totals (81 percent) were 1,153,875 for Boyle and 906,292 for Griffin. Coun­ tywide the former senator got 7,952 to Boyle’s 6,208. James H. Brickley, who was also appointed by Milliken in late 1982 to fill a vacancy, won the four-year term on the bench over James Hathaway. With 81 percent of the’ vote, the former GOP lieutenant governor received 1,370,716 votes to his opponent’s 680,«19. Coun­ tywide Brickley got 9,590 to Hathaway's 3.936. Transit system earnspagepraise 2 morning after the election. "I am proud to be on them. I think I was on the right team and am proud to be part of it." Williamson added that "I'm so thankful that we got a Republican vote for myself and Dick Dean for the board of commission”. "I want everyone to know that I’m going to work as hard on the job as I did to win it," she added. Williamson ran for the District 2 seat in 1982, losing to current commissioner James Gordon, who chose not to seek re-election, by about a five percent difference. She noted that in the race of two years ago she carried Yankee Springs Township, but failed to win in her home territory of Thornapple Township. This time around she again carried Yankee Springs by 659 votes to 389. She also took both precincts in Thomapple. winning 1.106 to 778. Dean also expressed pleasure with the outcome on the morning after, saying that he was "very pleased and grateful for the votes he received”. Dean, 57, a retired industrial steel representative, was previously a member of the board of commissioners when it was an 11-member body. Two years ago. when the board was changed to seven members, he lost a close election to Hammond. In that contest, which was decided by less than 50 votes, Dean edged his opponent in Rutland Township, but lost by slight margins in Ir­ ving and Hastings Townships. This tinearound Dean took Rutland by 602 votes to 541, Irving by 396 votes to 291, and Hastings by 590 votes to 441. Dean credited his supporters for his change in election fortunes. "I think Dean Williamson everyone worked hard for me," he said. “J had a lot of help this time." In the other commission seats, Carloyn Coleman won District 1 with 2,065 votes; Richard Landon won District 4 with 1,996 votes; Theodore McKelvey won District 5 with 1,922 votes; Paul Keil won District 6 with 1,169 votes; and Rae Hoare won District 7 with 1.267 votes.

T-K school budget increases 5 percent By Elaine Gilbert An amended operating budget reflecting expenditures of $5,017,431 for the 1984-85 school year has been adopted by the Thor­ napple Board of Education. The new budget represents an increase of about five-percent over 1983-84 expenditures of $4,742,334, said Superintendent Gerald Page. The largest increase in expenditures in this year's budget is for capital improvements. "We’re recovering from three-years of buying nothing,” he said. Capital improvement expenditures include funds for shop equipment, computers, upgraded typewriters for the business education department, and two new school buses. Page said the amended budget, adopted Monday, “is a pretty accurate figure." He added that the board customarily amends the operating budget in the fall because the original budget, adopted in June, is a rough estimate of anticipated revenues and ex­ penditures because it is prepared in April and May before state aid formula and salaries have been set. The amended budget anticipates total revenues of $5,248,532, which includes a cash fund balance from last year of $371,851 to boost anticipated local, state and federal revenues of $4,876,681. Without the 1983-84 carryover, the budget would reflect $140,750 in deficit spending, Page said. However, by July of 1985, the board expects to have a fund balance of about $231,000. The board, at Monday's meeting, pur chased one of the two new buses it plans to acquire. The low bids of Good Chevrolet of Grand Rapids and Carpenter Bus Body of Rockford were accepted for a total cost of $36,537. A change in the sequence of the order in which math classes are taken by students was approved by the board to give continuity to the high school math program, said Page. One of the ultimate changes will be the sequence in which geometry is offered. In the past. Geometry I has been offered in the second semester of the sophomore year, but students have had to wait until the second semester of their junior year to take Geometry II. One of the changes adopted by the board will eliminate that gap in time so students may take the two courses during the same year. That change also will bring the school's geometry program in line with math programs in other districts which should ease the transition far new students and those who transfer to other schools, said Page. The math department changes were recommended to the board by the district’s curriculum council and some of the suggestions will be implemented this year while others will be introduced next year and through 1986-87: In the 1983-84 school year algebra 11 and Geometry I (second semester) were offered in the sophomore year; Algebra III and Geometry II (second semester) were for juniors; and trigonometry and modern math for seniors. For 1984-85, the sequence will be Algebra II for sophomores; Algebra III and Geometry II for juniors; and trigonometry and modem math for seniors. During 1985-86, sophomores will be offered geometry; juniors will be offered geometry; and seniors advanced math. In 1986-87, the sequence will be a full year of geometry for sophomores; Algebra II for juniors and advanced math for seniors. In implementing the schedule, the board agreed to purchase 20 new advanced math books, as recommended by the curriculum council, at an approximate cost of $350.

Republicans maintained their strong hold on the Barry County Courthouse, winning by big margins in the three contested races for register of deeds, sheriff, and drain com­ missioner. Support for those candidates was across-the-board with the Republicans receiving victory margins in all 16 townships and in the City of Hastings In the other three races — for prosecutor, clerk, and treasurer, the Republican can­ didates were unopposed. AU six of the courthouse posts are for four years. In the closest of those contested races. Republican Sandy Schondelmayer won. the register of deeds post over Democrat Rose McMellen by 11,482 votes to 6,962. Schon­ delmayer, 33, of Middleville, is the current Deputy Register of Deeds. He succeeds the retiring Howard Ferris who gave him strong support in his primary and general election campaigns. Schondelmayer acknowledged^hat help in Barry voters In step with Reagan-Bush landslide President Ronald Reagan’s landslide re­ election victory was echoed by Barry County voters who gave him overwhelming support to keep Democrat Walter Mondale out of the White House. • County voters preferred the Republican Reagan-Bush ticket by 14,245 to 5,948 for Mondale-Ferraro. The Libertarian presidential candidate, David Bergland, picked up 74 votes in Barry County while the Independent's Lyndon H. LaRouche netted 24-votes. his post-election post-election statement. statement. his "I'm very pleased with the results. It made a long, hard campaign worthwhile," be said. "I'd like to thank Howard and Kathryn Ferris. Without a doubt it wouldn't have been possible without their help.” He added that he was pleased with the "uniform support from throughout the county". "I'm very pleased with that," he said. In the sheriff race, incumbent David Wood stood off a strong campaign challenge from Democrat Harold Keena, winning by 12,994 votes to 6,122. Wood, 45, of Hastings, has been sheriff now for 10 years, and the win was his third election victory. "I'm pleased with the outcome," he said the morning after. "Once again the people of Barry County have voted to allow me the privilege of serving the community. I feel honored that I can.” In the drain commissioner race, in­ cumbent Audrey Burdick defeated Democrat challenger John Loftus by 12,186 votes to 6,047. Burdick, 46, of Hastings, was first elected to office two years ago. filling out J. Ray Bratton's term. She had been appointed to the post the year before when he resigned. ‘‘I just really appreciate everyone's confidence in me,” Burdick said. "I’m overwhelmed at the number of votes that I received. “I got a high number of votes in Orangeville Township and we do hive some issues there, the Gun River Drain and the (Gun Lake) sewer authority. Yankee Springs came through beautifully, too, and we have a drain th^r* « waII drain there as well. I feel I have support there because of these projects." In the prosecutor's race, incumbent Judy Hughes, 35, of Hastings, received 13,437 votes. In the clerk's race incumbent Nerval Thaler, 59, of Freeport, received 13,328 votes. In the treasurer's race candidate Juanita Yarger, of Hastings, received 13,527. In another county-wide race, longtime surveyor James King was re-elected with 13,167 votes. McGregor gets Sarry, but falls to Rep. Wolpe by Ken Reibel Republican Jackie McGregor carried Barry County, but lost her bid for a Third Congressional District seat to incumbent Democrat Howard Wolpe, as voters here went overwhelmingly for GOP candidates in Tuesday's election. Also overwhelming was the county's support for Republican Paul Henry’s elec­ tion to the U.S. Congress in the Fifth District, and for Republican Jack Lousma, who lost overall to incumbent Democratic Senator Carl Levin in the race for U.S. Senate. McGregor garnered just over 52 percent of Tuesday's votes in Barry County, with 4,032 votes to Wolpe’s 3,704. She lost overall with Continued on Page 2 A total of 559 registered voters cast ballots at the City of Hastings third precinct Tuesday. Approximately 75 percent of Barry County's registered voters turned out for the 1984 election. �Page 2— The Hastings Banner— Thursday. November 8, 1984 Now entering its fourth year VIEWPOINT: Barry Transit gets high marks from state Commentaries from our editorial staff and the community — EDITORIAL Assessing the election Reading the signals from Tuesday’s voting results is at best difficult and at worst, merely conjecture. But some patterns may be emerging that will affect government and elections in years to come. The biggest change came at the county commission, where Republicans regained control after losing the majority two years ago. The party in control can dictate the position of chairman, the key figure whc selects committee chairmen and names the members of the committees. During the past two years, Democrat and Republican board members have worked well together under Democratic Chairman Paul Kiel. Given the makeup of the new board, with five incumbents, partisan differences should not be a major factor in their deliberations. However, different philosophies do exist between the party representatives and this is bound to be reflected in the policies of county government. Despite the strongest and best financed campaigns in memory, local Democrats were not able to take over any of the three county offices they sought. Rose McMellen, however, captured nearly 7,000 votes and the other two challengers gained more than 6,000 votes. Considering the massive vote for Reagan in the county, 14,245, it is difficult to tell if the Democrats might have picked up more votes in another election year. McMellen had 1,000 more votes than Mondale, showing that she did make some in-roads into independents and cross-voters. The Reagan influence was evident in other ways that makes it difficult to tell how much strength the Democrats may have on the local level in future years. Reagan polled 834 to Mondale’s 377 in normally Democratic Rutland Township, 666-317 in Orangeville Township, also Democratic, and 837-360 in Hastings Township, a third Democratic area. Reagan's coattails were long enough to sway the vot«* in the direc­ tion of Jackie McGregor, Republican for Congress in the Third District, where she carried the south half of the county, 4,032 to in­ cumbent Democrat Rep. Howard Wolpe’s 3,704. Wolpe has carried the county in past elections. Even in Orangeville Township, McGregor beat Wolpe by 31 votes. While predicting the vote for the future based on returns from an election held just two days ago is risky business, it appears that the Democrats do have some strength on the local level and can be ex­ pected to run more well-financed, hard fought county races. Whether the Democrats win or not, creating races for county positions will guarantee that we have a chance to examine the candidates, look at issues and become more involved in the electoral process. Congress, continued from Page 1 just under 47 percent of the vote in a district which also includes all or parts of Kalamazoo, Calhoun, Eaton and Ingham Counties, by a 106,990 to 93,852 margin. Of Barry County’s 17 Third Congressional District precincts, McGregor lost in five: Barry Township’s second precinct, John­ stown and Prairieville Townships, and in the absentee tallies in Orangeville and Barry Township's second precinct. Henry, a first-term state senator, carried Barry County with 61.9 percent of the votes cast, a figure almost indentical to his district-wide margin of 62.2 percent over attorney McInerney. Henry carried all of the county's 21 Third District precincts, taking 7,089 votes in Barry County, against his opponent's 4,294 votes. Libertarian can­ didate Richard Whitelock of Saranac received 76 votes here in his third con­ secutive run for Congress. Overall, Henry received 139,968 Fifth Congressional District votes, against 85,192 for McInerney. Whitelock, the only other name on the ballot, gathered just 1,312 votes. Lotts ma gathered a whopping 61 percent of the county's votes, besting Levin 11,683 to 7,352 votes, and carrying all of Barry County's 38 precincts. With more than 96 percent of the state's 6,850 precincts reporting at press time. Levin led Lousma by approximately 1,880,000 to 1,687,000 votes, a 53-47 percent margin.

In other business, the board: —Approved setting salaries for enrich­ ment class instructors at a range of $5.50 to $9 per hour and the summer pay for the public librarian at $10 per hour. Salaries for swimming pool employees include $7.50 per hour fcr directors, $5.50 for water safety instructors who teach classes and can issue life saving certificates, and $4 per hour for life guards. —Granted child care leave from Jan. 9 to March 2 to first grade teacher Lon Pirrone. —Set tuition at $267.78 for elementary students and at $358.07 for high school students. —Agreed to seek bids from firms to con­ duct the school audit for the next three years.

Rupkus, 20, Warren, received 45 days in jail and three years probation for the theft last June of an outboard motor. Barry-Eaton Circuit Court Judge Hudson E. Deming allowed Rupkus to leave jail during the day, Monday through Friday, to attend classes at the State Technical In­ stitute, where he is learning cabinetmaking. Rupkus was also assessed $500 in fines and costs, and ordered to pay $659.38 restitution to the victim. Deming also ordered Rupkus to complete his education, to seek and maintain gainful employment, and not to knowingly associate with felons. Louis Fay Ohler, 40, Clarksville, was placed on probation for one year for writing a no account check. Judge Deming also assess Ohler $250 in fines and costs. Ohler has previously admitted writing a check for $14.28 on a non-existant account at the First Security Bank. by Ken Reibel The state project director for Barry County Transit, the county-operated in­ centive transportation system, said the system is in good financial health, and far exceeding the performance of most of the state's 39 other incentive bus systems. Jerry Smalley, Michigan Department of Transportation project director, said that between February and September of this year. Barry Transit has returned an average of 42 cents at the fare box on every dollar spent to keep the system going. That "fareto-cost” ratio will keep the system solvent in 1985, when Transit's state funding formula drops from the current 75 percent, to a combined state and feaeral total of ap­ proximately 55 percent. •’Coming into its fourth year. Transit is going to have to come up with 40 to 45 percent locally,** said Smalley, "So they're looking quite good al this point with their 42 per­ cent.” Smalley said other indicators of a well-run transportation system are the passengers per hour, and the average fare. "Their passengers per hour rate is close to seven. That's seven passengers for each vehicle hour. Normally, when we get to a fourth year, if we get between five and six, that’s real good." Smalley said Barry Transit is collecting an average $1.84 per fare, another impressive statistic. “Many systems are below a dollar. But if you can come up with an average fare of $1.84, well, that's a reason their fare to cost ratio is so high." Smalley credits what he calls "creative management techniques'* for Barry County Transit’s apparent success. “They're going out and negotiating con­ tracts with human services agencies in tl.-e area, such as E.B.I. Breakthrough, and the Commission on Aging." he said. "The cost to provide transportation is quite high. Before the bus system was there, C.O.A. was paying about $7 per passenger per day for their people. By contracting for that service, that Middleville man, 66, gets jail sentence in shooting A 66-year-old Middleville man who shot and wounded his neighbor last July in an argument over a dog was sentenced to nine months in jail Friday, and ordered to pay $3,500 in fines, courts costs, and restitution. John Will Howell, Crane Rd., had the first month of his sentence suspended by BarryEaton Circuit Court Judge Hudson E. Deming, so that Howell could make provisions for his invalid wife. Prosecutors had made no recom­ mendations as to jail time, and commented that “probation was appropriate.” Howells’s attorney, James Fisher of Hastings, asked Deming to find an alter­ native to jail, so that his client could continue to care for Mrs. Howell. Fisher said Howell had never been arrested, and that he spent his 37 years of employment with the Bradford White Corp, in Middleville, "with no black marks on his employment records." Fisher also pointed out many letters of support for Howell, including ones from his former union representative and a Bradford White representative that referred to Howell as "a model citizen and employee.” Howell was originally charged with assault with intent to commit murder, a felony punishable by life or any number of years in prison, for the July 14 shooting of his neigh­ bor, James Robertson. Howell reportedly discharged a shotgun into Robertson's shoulder after Robertson trespassed on Howell's land to retrieve a dog. Howell pleaded guilty to a lesser charge, assault with in intent tc commit great bodily harm less than the crime of murder, a felony punishable by up to 10 years in prison. In exchange for his plea, prosecutors agreed to recommend probation for Howell, and to LETTERS to the Editor: Higher millage predicted To the Editor: I hope the people who voted for the Delton School millage increase have their check­ books handy and full, because this increase isn't the end!

Joseph Bleam, Barry County Transit's Transportation Director and Urban Tranportation Coordinator, said county residents will see advertisements on transit buses in the coming year "There are plenty of bus systems who have used this approach to raising revenue, but they've usually con­ tracted with an advertising agency Il's only been in the last year that systems have advertised on their own,” said Bleam. He estimates the move will realize .“bout $10,000 next year for the svslpm Smalley said there is legislation now awaiting the governor's signature that will allow county systems to keep revenue they collect above tne local share of the systems' cost. The package was put together by Rep. Robert Bender. R-Middleville. al the request of Barry County officials. “We’re expecting that to pass late this year. It will help Barry County, beca'ise they are so far above the 25 percent (local fun­ ding)." said Smalley He said the law would benefit other systems in the state, but he credits Barry County with initiating the legislation. "We had the county com­ missioners come up here, and your local legislator drafted the law.” Bleam estimates the legislation will give back almost $38,000 to Barry County Transit. Smalley said he encourages county transportation managers to share their ideas with other systems around the state. “I've heard from other systems who have said that county commissioners from Barry County have visited them, to tell what they are up to. They're bragging on their system, and that’s good," said Smalley. “I’m happy that they are saying it is an important part of the community. It's one of the better systems in the state." Bleam credits his employees with Tran­ sit’s success, and discounts the numbers. “It's the people in the system, and not the percentages that make it go," he said. “And I've got a dedicated bunch of people.” 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.

Deming noted that the Michigan Supreme Court sentencing guidelines call for anywhere between no jail time and 18 months in prison for Howell. Deming credited Howell for three days spent in jail at the time of his arrest. Howell was also sentenced to five years probation, ordered not to own firearms of any kind, and to participate in mental health counseling as ordered by his probation agent. Stepsisters plead guilty in grocery scam Two women charged with the attempted theft of groceries from Felpaush Food Center pleaded guilty Friday in Barry Circuit Court to attempted larceny over $100. The two are Connie Sue Hull, 21, of Otsego, and Cynthia Smith, 34, Grand Street, Hastings. Sentencing for the women is set for Nov. 16 at 9 a.m. According to Detective Dana Steidle of the Hastings City Police, Smith, who worked as a checkout clerk, charged Hull $6.27 for $230.65 worth of groceries, on October 5.

Audrey Naylor Roy Helrigel Dan Thompson Bill Mallekoote, Jr. Will Letson Da re 11 Varney QUESTION The recent transplant of a heart from a baboon into 'Baby Fae*. a human infant who was dying from an underdeveloped heart, has sparked some protests. In particlar. there are a number of people saying that it Is wrong to use an animal organ in a human. They feel that we shouldn’t kill a live enlmal (some adding that we shouldn't be ex­ perimenting on live animals either), regardless of the human life at stake, their reason being that animals have their own rights. How do you feel about this subject? Audrey Naylor. Hastings— I'm kind of divided about it. I've read both sides and kind of agree with both. A human life, of course, is higher than an animal's. But I feel that some people are playing God with the baby. I don't think they're that sure (about the operation). It seems to be experimental. How long is the baby going to last? I worry about the parents. How are they going to feel, having been given this extra hope, if (he baby doesn't survive? Ray Helrigel. Hastings— 1 don't see anything wrong with it. They say that its ta baboon's) heart is the closet thing there is to a human's. If it saves human lives. I'm all for it. I can't see slacking a baboon up against a human. Ken Kopf Dick Enyart Dan Thompson. Hastings— 1 haven't kept up on it that much. I really don't know whether it's right or wrong to be doing this. Dick Enyart. Gun Lake— If it helps her (Baby Fae) that’s the main thing. I'm not against using animals to save human lives. Ken Kopf. Nashville— I think we should (use animals’ if it's going to save lives. The main thing is saving the kid's life, rather than letting it go. We can replace animals, but we can't replace a human being. Bill Mallekoote. Jr.. Hastings— I haven't really thought about it that much. 1 guess 1 have to say that I don't think it is right. We are humans. 1 believe God created humans and He created animals. 1 don’t believe it's right to mix them. As far as using rats to lest in a lab. I think that's all right. Will l-eLson. Hastings— I think if an animal keeps a person alive, then that's the way they should be used. I think it’s a great ex­ periment. It may save a lol of lives. Darctl Varney— I haven't given it a lot of thought, but I feel, if it saved a human life, it's well worth the experiment, and a ex­ periment is basically what it was. �The Hastings Banner— Thursday, November 8. 1984, Page 3 Carpenter wins Assyria post with write-in vote by Robert J. Johnston Assyria Township Republican Supervisor Larry Carpenter won reelection on a write-in campaign over former Supervisor Jack Love after losing to Love for the Republican nomination in the August 7 primary. Carpenter and Love lied on the voting machine ballots, with 265 votes each, but Carpenter outdistanced Love tn the absentee ballots, capturing 111 to Love's 45. for a total vote of 376-310. Carpenter "It was a real team effort," Carpenter said of his victory, "i had a lot of people helping me who really got out and worked. We did a lot of educating the voters on how to use stickers and we got a lot of new voters registered. It all helped a lot.” Carpenter said that he did not campaign in the primary election and those people who helped him with the write-in campaign did not campaign for him in the primary, either. "People that supported me kind of took it (the primary) for granted," he said. In two another write-in campaigns for supervisor, the challengers did not fare as well. R.C. "Pete” Dull waged a write-in campaign against Republican Baltimore Township Supervisor Wayne C. Miller who had defeated him in the primary election. Tuesday, Miller collected 408 voles against Dull's 113. Miller said that it is difficult to wage an effective write-in campaign because of the problems of writing in names on the voting machines. He added that after he learned of the write-in campaign, he had canvassed 80 to 90 percent of the township and talked to voters or dropped off literature. Republican Johnstown Township Super­ visor Verlyn F. Stevens far outdistanced his write-in opponent Robert Mack, 790-88. Two of (he county's closest races were in Rutland Township, where Democratic Supervisor Robert Edwards defeated his Republican challenger Clarence Hause, 588547, and Democratic Clerk Phyllis Fuller defeated Republican challenger Audrey Deming, 574-553. Both Edwards and Fuller lost the tallies on the voting machines but won strongly on the absent voter ballots. On the machines, Edwards had 464 to Hause’s 478, while absent voters polled 124 for Edwards against 69 for Hause. Fuller's machine totals were 421 to Deming's 507, but she captured 153 absent voters to Deming's 46. Republican John Rough, Jr. handily defeated Democrat Charles Biggs for the supervisor's post in Yankee Springs Township, 647-431. In contested races for other township positions: — Barry Township Republican Treasurer Judith Wooer defeated her Democratic challenger Dorothy Kettle, 710466; — Woodland Township Republican Clerk Carol Hewitt won over her Democratic challenger Catherine Lucas, 509-358; — Irving Township Republican Clerk Emily E. Harrison won over her Democratic challenger Owen E. Bates. 477-210; — Maple Grove Township Republican Clerk Susan Butler defeated Democratic challenger Joan Keech, 351-185; — Orangeville Township Democratic Treasurer Lee Cook retained his post over Repub,:can M. Joan Moore. 499-392. — Castleton Township Republicans Glenn P. Godbey and Nelson Rasey were elected as trustees, 736 and 789, respectively, over Democrat Bernard L. Hoffman. 40'.; — Incumbent Rutland Township Republican Trustee Jerry Bradley and Republican newcomer Sandra James captured 655 and 611 votes, respectively, to defeat Democrats Barbara Bedford and Mary Linderman, who polled 465 and 487 votes. — Incumbent Maple Grove Township Republican Trustees Monte Allen and Gale Wetzel gained 342 and 324 votes, respec­ tively, to defeat Democrat Carl Heaton with 181. Other township officials elected Tuesday were: Assyria Township Republicans Dena A. Miller, clerk, 550; Nianne A. Jarrard, treasurer, 582; Billy S.

The fire equip­ ment proposal narrowly won approval by a 518-197 vote. In Orangeville Township, voters gave a nod of approval to sales of liquor in addition Io beer and wine for consumption on the premises within the township. The proposal passed by a margin nf 511-397. • WANTED• I LEGAL Voter registration in Barry County has increased by 36.7 percent since 1974, far outstripping the state increase of 23.5 percent for the same period, according to figures released by Michigan Secretary of State Richard Austin. Tlie increase can be attributed in large pari to the Secretary of State Branch Office Registration Program, which went into effect in October, 1975, whereby voters can register at their local Secretary of State Office. Though Parry County’s registration rate far exceeds the statewide average, it is on the low side when compared to the increases for the six counties that surround Barry. Of those six counties, Eaton has the greatest increase, with 51.2 percent, followed by Allegan with 45.5 percent, and then Kalamazoo with 372 percent. Lowest among the six is Calhoun County, with an 18.3 percent increase. Figures also reveal that voter registration in Barry County increased at a rate more than three times that of its population. Between the years 1974 and 1983, Barry County's population grew 11.4 percent. Statewide, the gain in voters was disproportionate to the gain in population. "While there is no question that any number of factors have contributed to these trends," notes the Secretary of State's new release "it is clear that the significant increase in the number of registered voters in the state is due, in large part, to the sucess of the Branch Office Voter Registration Program, and the registration program is at least partially responsible for the upward trend in the number of electors who are voting the Michigan elections.” Nationally, Michigan has the highest percentage of registered voters of the 12 industrial states of California, New York, Texas, Pennsylvania, Illinois, Ohio. Florida. New Jersey, Massachusetts. Missouri. Maryland and Michigan. Of these states, Michigan has 87.7 percent registration, followed by Missouri with 79.4 percent. Ohio with 76.2 per­ cent. and Illinois with75.5 percent. Lowest among the twelve is New York with 60.8 percent, and Florida with 63.4 percent. 197444(H) LloydS.

BOLTWOOD HASTINGS 945-5102 �Page 6—The Hastings Banner—Thursday, November 8, 1984 what's cookin' _ Antique5 Aud’s Antics by Elaine Gilbert Collecting Toy Soldiers This week featuring... International Holidays Have you ever heard of tofu or tried making an edible bread basket in which to serve a delicious recipe utilizing leftover turkey or chicken? Those three food items were among the many which were featured last week at an '‘International Holidays" program in Hastings. This week's column departs from the traditional format of spotlighting one area cook to focusing on the three "cooks," all home economists with the cooperative ex­ tension service, who presented last week's International Holidays program. Presenting the program were Jan Hartough, Barry County Extension director; Jan Seitz of Jackson County, and Dorothy Bildner of Hillsdale County. The event, open to the public via advance registrations, was attended by 110-persons at the First United Methodist Church in Hastings. A popular part of the program was the opportunity for the audience to taste all the recipes, ranging from Mexican pork-rice casserole to English cinnamon-apple tea bread, that were prepared. In additon to demonstrating various food preparation techniques with foods from numerous nationalities, the three women offered tips on the selection of specific foods and discussed alternative protein sources. The recipes selected for the program were intended to give the audience new ideas for use in their own holiday meal preparation too. Mrs. Hartough has been involved in similar holiday food seminars for five years and introduced the idea in Barry County three years ago. “It has been popular," she said. The programs originated in response to requests from people wanting new food preparation ideas, she said. Through the programs, people can taste new recipes and learn about foods without having to spend a lot of money on ingredients like they would if they experimented at home. This way, they can try a recipe again at home if they really like it. Planning for the annual holiday food seminar starts in early summer, said Mrs. Hartough. “'We sift through hundreds of recipes and then go through a testing process before the final recipes are selected. Tofu was one of the alternative sources of protein featured at the program. "Most people th<nk tofu is new but it has been around for about 2,000 years.” said Mrs. Hartough. The Chinese were using it centuries ago, but tofu has only been popular in the United States for about five to six years, she said. Tofu not only is a "fun food" but inex­ pensive as well as being an excellent source of protein and low in calories, said Mrs. Hartough. She showed how to make nutty tofu balls while discussing the merits of tofu which is made from soy bean curd. "Tofu is a fun food. It will take on the flavor of what you put with it,” said Mrs. Hartough. "If you've never tried it before, use it in a recipe instead of frying it. You can use it in lasagne as a substitute for cottage cheese," for instance or in the recipe featured this week. Tofu can usually be found in the produce section of the grocery store, near the salad greens or Chinese vegetables. Tofu is packaged in a carton and comes in a block form. After purchase, unopened tofu can be kept in the refrigerator for 10-days, but after it has been opened it should only be kept for three days. To preserve its freshness, it also should be submerged in water after it is opened, said Mrs. Hartough. Also during the program, Jan Seitz demonstrated an Evancha potato soup and provided information on selecting quality potatoes. She said that each of the different varieties of potatoes are intended for specific types of cooking. For instance, round, red potatoes will sometimes turn "gummy" when baked and are better when boiled. Quality potatoes should not be soft, not have a greenish color (which indicates sunburn), not have cuts in the skin, not be wrinkled or wilted looking and not have dark soft spots. While preparing "Eggplant Parmigiana," Dorothy Bildner told the audience that eggplant originated in India and that it was first thought to be poisonous. "Eggplant has few calories but also has few vitamins and minerals," she said. However, the ingredients in the Eggplant Parmigiana result in a dish that is a good These three talented "cooks" shared the spotlight last week during an Interna­ tional Holidays Program, sponsored by the Cooperative Extension Service and featuring foods from numerous nationalities.

All of the recipes featured during the program, plus some additional ones, are available in a booklet form for 50-cents each while supplies last at the Barry County Cooperative Extension office, 301 S.

If you belong to the select group of people who collect old toy soldiers, you belong, perhaps, to one of the oldest collecting groups in history. Even the Kings of Egypt collected toy soldiers and many fine examples have been found in the burial rooms of the Pyramids. First I must make the distinction between collecting toy soldiers and model soldiers. Toy soldiers are just that, toys. They were originally produced for children to play with. Model soldiers come under a dif­ ferent category. Generally model soldiers are used in war games and dioramas. The model soldiers' detail is excellent and the people who produce and use them emphasize that the soldier is correct in every aspect. Toy soldiers' details are average, with no great emphasis on facial or body detail. Every man as a child probably had some type of toy soldier. Earliest types were made of wood and many of the major catalogs offered them for sale around the turn of the century. They were usually sold as a set with a certain amount in each box. There were also paper soldiers, cut-outs, available at this time. Paper and wooden soldiers are difficult to find due mainly to their short lifespan. Toy soldiers came in six major categories: flats, semi-solids, solids, hollow cast, wooden and composition — several different types of clay, plaster and papier-mache. The first type metal soldier produced were the "flats". They are selfexplanatory. These toy soldiers were generally not more than one millimeter in thickness. Both sides looked alike. The first major production of fiats did not begin until about the 17th century in Germany. Molds were made of slate and were in two parts. Metal was poured in the cavity and after it had cooled the soldier was removed and painted. Production of toy soldiers was not restricted to the soldier himself. The many pieces of equipment necessary to camp life were also arnde by the toy soldier company. Horses, artillery pieces, gun caissons and even pieces of foliage were molded in the same fashion. Semi-solid metal toy soldiers were in production for only a short time. Cost went up in their manufacture as more material was needed for each one. They did not have the flexability of the flats and would break rather than bend. The Germans have been given credit for producing the flat and the semi-solid soldiers but the French were the first to produce the solid toy soldier. He was more lifelike than before, but also much more expensive to make. Consequently, only well-to-do people at first were able to afford this new type of toy. Hollow-cast are probably one of the easiest to identify. They are unusually light and will have a hollow ring when struck. There are normally two holes in the bottom of the soldier's form and a tiny bole in the head area. This type was probably produced in greater numbers than any other type. Some of the oldest toy soldiers in existence are made of wood. A local woodcarver could make toy soldiers and they would serve as gi.'ts for the children of the community. The cost was usually minimal as there was not a great amount of detail on them at first. The Germans, being a nation of woodcarvers, were first to use them as presents. Later on, manufacturers made them by the thousands and sold them in boxed sets. Sometimes uniforms would be painted on and sometimes the outline of the soldier would be cut out of wood and a paper figure would be pasted on the wooden body. Composition has a long history and even dates back to ancient times, as clay was readily available. Examples of this type have been found in ancient Egypt and Greece. There have been a few examples of a type of plaster on a metal frame but these are rare. There were also a few made of papier-mache. Their life expectancy was short due to the type of material used in the production and good examples are extremely hard to find. Germany was the leading producer of toy soldiers in all categories until the 1920s. At that lime, the British started picking up part of the toy soldier market. The Germans exported their toy soldiers around the world. France and Italy also produced some for ex­ port. Identifying types of toy soldiers is not too difficult, but trying to identify the company that made them is nearly impossible. Only a few companies put a manufacturer's mark on their molds Another problem is that one company might make a soldier identical to another company's. England made wooden toy soldiers around 1910, and solid English "Tommies" around 1920. If the soldier is marked, it is normally on the base and usually with only an initial. The only way to be sure of the maker is to be lucky enough to find the soldier in his original box. Time periods of production tor each type is another "gray" area. While the major producers were making up-todate solid figure soldiers, there might be a smaller company still producing flats on a small scale. Major producers of hollow cast might sell their molds for solids to a small plant, even though they were, in a sense, outdated. Some flats, while starting about 1750, could still have been made in the late 1800s. Toy soldiers were made to represent all the armies of the world. Count the number of wars and the many armies formed since the 17th century and you can imagine the variations. This does not take into consideration the ancient soldiers made by some companies, such as Roman, Assyrian, and andent Greek warriors. All in all, collecting old toy soldiers can be an interesting and demanding hobby. These pieces require a lot of diligence and searching to locate. The prices will depend on the type and condition and just how reluctant the present owner is about selling them. These tiny two inch metal, or the six to ten inch painted wooden soldiers can turn up in any junk box at auction, flea market or yard sale for just pennies each. If you find the same item nicely displayed at an antique show or shop, expect to pay from 15 upward for toe tiny metal figures, and sometimes into the hundreds of dollars each for some of the larger type wooden soldiers in excellent condition. They are out there — all you have to do is find them. Remember — the thrill of the chase is oftimes as delicious as the conquest! PARK ADMINISTRATOR Local man joins Air Force Lon E. Payne, 19, has entered the United States Air Force's Delayed Enlistment Program (DEP). According to Sergeant Douglas P. Klamka, the Air Force recruiter here, Lon's entry into the DEP allows the Air Force to schedule an opening for him to attend basic training and be assigned to a job or skill area. Payne is a 1983 graduate of Hastings High School. He will enter the Regular Air Force on March 8, 1985.

His 18-month-old sister, Segrid, also got a lot of attention for her "Raggedy Ann" costume. In the four-to-seven group, first prize went to Mike Wnibel who wore an "Oscar the Grouch" costume. Age seven-totwelve prize was won by Sarah Winkler. Only two costumed contestants entered the age twelve-and-up category; so the prize was divided between them. They were Max Haight and Doug Gilreath. Bruce Marsteller drove the Woodland Township Police car all evening and did a thorough job of partrolling the village. There was no disorder and no unusual vandalism reported.

Present were members Tom Niethamer, Barbara Dalton, George Sdiaibly, Shirley Kilmer, Jim Lucas, and ■ ‘ .Earl Engle, and guests Cathy Lucas and — Willis Dalton. Chairman Tom Niethamer reported that Verdon Flory will draw sketches of the town hall and the old Woodland School for stationery and program books for the celebration. Tom had some photographs that he may use as a basts for the sketches with him at the meeting, and he showed them to the committee members. The committee spent most of the meeting talking about the planned Barry County History Book. The committee discussed holding a workshop to help people in the tr-vnship write their family histories for the bock. They spent some lime listing old families and trying to decide whom the committee should contact to invite to the workshop. Certain old families were assigned to committee members to find a descendant and ask them to write their family history. Tom Niethamer was called home on family business, and the meeting was adjourned early. Before he left, however, a date was set when people from the committee, who are also members of the Barry County Historical Society, will meet with Woodland persons who have questions about how to write their family history or how to get it into the planned book. The workshop was set for Monday, Nov. 19, al 7:30 p m. Ann Deistler, now of Lake Odessa, but who was formerly Ann Reuther and has previously lived on Jordan Road, married Jerry Barnhart of Eagle Point at the Hope Evangelical Lutheran Church in Portland last Saturday at 5 p.m. Best man was the brother of the groom, Stanley Barnhart, who also lives at Eagle Point. Matron of honor was LaVerne Murphy from Hammond, Ind. The wedding was performed by Pastor Donald Sutton. The bride wore a deep lavender dress and carried a bouquet of lighter lavender Phalaenopsis orchids, carnations and heather. The matron of honor had a mat­ ching but smaller bouquet. All of the flowers were by the daughter of the bride, Annette Ure, who is a florist in Charlotte. Photography was done by Ahn Barnhart of Lansing who is the son of the groom. A wedding reception was held at Cun­ ningham’s Acre near Lake Odessa following the wedding. A catered buffet dinner was served to around 70 guests by the Cun­ ninghams. The dinner was Swiss steak, ham, potatoes and gravy, green beans, salads, relishes, and wedding cake dessert. The wedding cake was four large tiers, decorated with fresh flowers by Mrs. Ure. After dinner, music for dancing was provided by K & L Discjockeying Company. The disc jockeys were David Lozo and Steve Kilbourn. Guests stayed and danced until late in the evening. The new line from the Woodland sewer plant is now complete up to Lake Drive, manholes anu air vents are in place, and grass has been planted over where the digging was done. The side of Woodland Road is neat and covered with straw waiting for the grass to grow. All that remains to be done so that the Woodland plant can hook into the Lakewood plant is the construction of a lift station right at the Woodland Wastewater Plant No date has been set for when the Woodland plant will hook up to the 911 Lakewood system.

James Buchanan John C. Freemont On the 6th of July. 1854, the Republican Party was organized in Jackson, Michigan, by anti-slavery men who declared slavery was a "moral, social, and political evil". The then Democratic party believed "that negros were not citizens (people) and hence having no more rights to vote or to sue than a cow. or a bam”. This conclusion was upheld by the Federal Supreme Court in the famous Dred Scott Case. The most startling feature of the article is how far apart the two parties appeared philosophically. Another is how candid and outspoken the editorials were in that time. Take care to note how the losing party, the Republicans in this instance, em­ phasized their state-won seats and depreciated their presidential loss, with a spirit of optimism for the next time. Within- the article are two terms — "minions of the slave power” and African Democraticacy” referring to the two parties differences over the holding of slaves. John C. Freemont ran against James Buchanan in 1856, with the slogan "Free speech, free press, free soil, Freemont and victory". James Buchanan won by carrying every slave state except Maryland; he also carried Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Indiana, Illinois and California. The popular vote was practically half a milion more than Freemont’s. Buchanan's electorial majority was 174 to 114. Buchanan's inaugural address stressed the inherent love for the constitution and the Union. He ex­ pressed the hope that the long agitation over slavery was approaching its end. The Banner did not print the address. “With the issue of the present number, my connection with the Republican Banner, as editor ceases. The very brief time that I have oc­ cupied the editorial sanctum of the paper, have been marked by important events in the progress of the country. A political contest o» unexampled im­ portance and activity has been waged and decided, a contest marked by more bitterness on the part of our political opponents — more vindictive personal abuse of our candidates than any preceding political campaign through which the country has passed. In that contest, through the medium of the paper and in other directions, I have, as voters of the State and that we have emerged from the contest with a glorious prospect of the eventual triumph of those principles throughout the Nation. "Freemont, our young and gallant leader though defeated in the first regular battle between Freedom and Slaver)', stands in a proud position before the world. He has borne himself throughout the long and bitter strife with unexampled firmness and prudence; and come out of the firey ordeal unscathed by the malicious falsehoods, and vindictive hatred of the minions of the slave power. A nobler champion of universal liberty does not breathe the pure air of Heaven. From the tone of the public press and from indications that are distinctly visible on every hand, it is evident that a very large majority of the Republicans of Michigan are in favor of keeping his name prominently before the country as a candidate for the Presidency on 1860. If The Banner has not responded to this growing sentiment, it is because, intending to retire from the editorial chair at an early day, I wished neither to anticipate nor embarrass the action of my successor. "The future of the Republican Party is bright with promise. Barry County, too, is all right. With a more efficient organization than has ever before been effected; with the fires of freedom burning brightly in the bosom of her intelligent population, nothing is wanting but to preserve that organization, and keep the ball rolling over the track, which public sentiment has already marked out to tender the Republican ascendency in the county perpetual. The hearts of the people are all right; let those who are, or fancy that they are, leaders pursue a wise, sonciliantory, and pridential policy, and it will be a long time before the African Democraticracy can elect another ticket in Barry County. "To the patrons and friends of the paper, I am under obligations and in return for the numerous marks of kindness which they have manifested, I can cheerfully hope that blessings unnumbered may thicken around them; that their pathway through life may be ever strewn with flowers; that their days may speed on in a halo of unclouded pleasure; that their bosoms may never know sorrow.

Five-year-old Melony Thompson admires this cute handmade doll at the Lutheran Church bazaar in Has­ tings os Ardie Baum tells her that the doll comes with a storybook and basket of doll clothes. The only ingredient lacking in this old-fashioned winter scene was snow. There was plenty of spirit os this trio of four-year-olds climbed aboard the old-fashioned sleigh which was loaded with a big bag of toys that undoubtably belonged to Santa. The attractive antique sleigh was on interesting display at the "Country Christmas at the Crossroads Bazaar." held last week at the Dowling United Meth­ odist Country Chaple.

November 8. 1984, Page 9 Hastings football coach interviewed Simpson offers views on season Lost Friday the Hastings foot­ ball team completed its third season under the guidance of Jeff Simpson, who has compiled a 14-13 record in those years. Simpson recently spoke with Sports Editor Steve Vedder on the 1984 season, next year and the Saxon program as a whole. The following is that interview: Question — Two years ago your team won its last four games and last year the team won its last two games. This year Hastings again won its last four. Are Jeff Simpsoncoached teams late bloomers? Simpson — I thought about that this year, if 1 was doing something wrong. All three years of my coaching the teams has come on strong at the end of the year...The only conclusions I can deal with is that I don't know why. It's just the way things worked out. Question — Would the fact that you’ve had the tough teams — Sturgis. Lakeview. Coldwater — in the early part of the schedule be a part of the reason? Simpson — Yes. the conclusion could be that we have had the tougher part of our schedule early. Back-lo back-to-back down the line with the tougher teams..the remaining part of the schedule...its just that if you went by records Dial part of the schedule doesn't have as much success winwise. Question — Is Hastings ready the next year or two to take its place among the top one or two teams in the conference? Simpson — I'm optimistic. I’m thinking, hoping, that with freshman football back and the success they had not only in winning, but in terms of the amount of participation, that's going to help them out. They played a lot of football and the coaches did a good job of getting them playing time and that will help them out next year and the years after Hastings football coach Jeff Simpson, whose team compiled a 5-4 record with four straight wins at the end of the season, says the program as a whole is in ex­ cellent. The Saxon freshmen and junior varsity teams also hod fine years in 1984 and Simpson sees the program on its way up next year and in the years after. (Bonntr photo) Bradley, Shaw are X-country MVPs Seniors Cherie Bradley and Mike Shaw, both four-year letterman, have been named respective Most Valuable Players on the Hastings girls and boys cross country teams. Both also received their captain stars lor the 1984 season. Other Saxon girls receiving their letters for the year were Kin Inman, who received a three-year plaque and a captains star; Jean Chenier and Nikki Dunham, who received two-year medals; and D'Ann Ball. Jill O'Conner. Lisa Sharp, Cari Bradley and Timmi Watson, who received their first letters. Other participants included Janine Briggs, Angie Yesh. Karin Gibson, Sue Inman. Kristin Lyons, Michelle Melendy, Sally Brown and Bobby Frick. For the boys, Tom Freridge, Tim Schoessel. Beau King and Dan Walldorf received their senior awards while Brent Tracy. Wayne Oom. and Chuck Robinson all earned their recond letters while Eric Cusack, Oskar Syite. Brandon Greenfield. Alan White, Mike Johnson and Robb Longstreet all picked up their first letters. Other participants included Mark Slocum. P.J. DeVault. Paul Rine, and Robb Witzel.

Amber Schaefer and Anna Loftus. Receiving their first letter were Sarah Newman. Martha Kessenich, Laura Hammond. Keely Shay. Kelly Flood, Beth Huver and Kelly Schneider. Participants included Lizanne Fehsenfeld, Angie Lumhert. Jerry Frick. Shannon Williams, and Kim McCall. Question — Arc you happy or satisfied with the season or do those two words mean different answers? Simpson If you would have asked me that question back when we were 1-4, it was still enjoyable but it did effect the players but when you win your last four games a lol of coaches would be happy with that. Most coaches would agree that when your team starts to play good toward the end of the season, whether it be in the World Series, football, or basketball, when it starts to peak, you're happy I'm happy Question — How would you answer the critic, however, that would say even though you won your last four in a row you still onlyfinished 5-4? Simpson — When you look at a 5-4 record you're just about .500 and you're playing only a nine-game schedule, games can go here and there and there are some ifs and buts. What the four wins means is that it lakes the place of 5-4 and doesn't make us look bad, or make us think it wasn't a good season. How we won those four games and how we put it together made us look like a good ballclub...We had some good efforts the last four games. Question — Are you still learning as a coach? Simpson — Oh yeah. The two years and then this year have really helped out. (For example) We scored more points this year than the past two years. Two years ago when we were 6-3 we were getting by by the skin of our teeth. All four wins were in the last three minutes. This year it wasn’t that way. The games were pretty well decided by the second half. I mean, they weren't over but we had scored enough points. Saxon eagers win again; beat Albion, 57-52 An excellent balanced scoring attack led Hastings to a 57-52 win over Albion on Tuesday night. The win upped the Saxons' record to 9-7 overall and 8~t in the Twin Valley. It was the third straight win for Hastings and seventh in the last nine Saxon games. Amy Atkinson, enjoying a banner season for the Saxons, led the team in scoring with 15. She added 7 rebounds and 5 assists. Atkinson, however, had plenty of help against Albion, whom the Saxons had Frosh end at 7-2 A 24-0 loss to powerful Delton ended the Hastings freshman football team's season with a 7-2 record. Delton was the only team to score more than two touchdowns against the Saxons, coached by Randy Holley and Steve Hoke. Coldwater was the only other team to beat Hastings. Playing for the freshman team was: Jamey Adams. Terry Arrow, Matt Briggs. Ron Bustance. Leland Doxtaden, John Gergen, Brian Tack, Matt Spencer. Jeff Rodenbeck. Paul Roy. Corey Wilson, A.J. Wolfe. Mark Matthews. Kent Gee, Scott Mueller. Scott Benner. Tom Herbstreith, Brad Gray. Robert Makely. Mike Maurer. Greg Heath. Matt Schmader, Scott Weller, Chad Tolles, Steve Morris, Steve Keeler, Dan Pickard. Archie Wood, Steve Mast. Micah Murphy. Dave Vaughn, Kevin Kelly, Brian Hinton. Troy Ziegler and mgr. Jamie Murphy. 8th graders awarded The Hastings eighth grade basketball team announced award winners for the 1984 season. The team finished with a 7-3 record.

It makes a difference on the scoreboard in points scored. Question — Would you change anything this year? Simpson — We're winning now so ob­ viously we changed something, but really we didn't change anything. It was the young kids and how they proceeded on.. Every game was different....It wasn't any one thing I could take back and change. Question — Thinking hack now to August and the goals you set for the team, how many did you reach? Simpson — We achieved probably close to 95-100 per of our goals as team and coaching staff. When you see what we wanted out of our team, and w hat it showed, we weren't far off those goals even in those losses. You could always have hindsight hut there were only a couple of little keys that could have made us into a 7-2 team Question — Any final comments or ob­ servations on the 1981 season? Simpson — The final comments I guess are about the four wins in a row and beating some good teams. Four wins makes you feel that much belter of what you were hoping for as a coach. You start to see the kids gaining con­ fidence and stability and you know they can stay in game and that little things won't upset them. Things like that made the 1984 season seem like a success. Even though we were only 5-4, it gives us momentum going into the 1985 season ..With the young kids comg up from freshman team.and thesuccess of the jayvee team, the whole football program was succesful. I hope in the next couple years we're going to be looking pretty good.

Gary Lynn Raymond II, 942Vi 4th Avenue, demanded exam in Ionia District Court Tuesday for two counts of breaking and entering of a building. That exam is set for Nov. 20 at 1 p.m. In addition to the school break-in, police say Raymond is reponsible for the Nov. 6 burglary of the North End Tavern in Lake Odessa, in which a case of beer and several bottles of liquor were stolen. Lake Odessa Police Chief Glen DesGrange said Raymond, who is a high school dropout, and a 15-year-old companion entered the shop class portion of the junior high school, and stole change, wooden lamps, a first aid kit and a bolt of felt. School budget gets new funds Page 1 Dogs kill 31 goats in herd Page 2 United Way tops >100,000 The Hastings Area Community Fund’s annual United Way.campaign topped $100,000, this week, putting the fund drive less than $16,000 short of its goal. “We’re on the home stretch and we know that the community will support our efforts to raise $116,326,” drive Chairman Norine Jacobs said. "Final contributions made this week could enable us to finish the drive by Thanksgiving. This would be a good way for the people of this area to ex­ press their thanks to the United Way agencies for the services that they provide." Figures released yesterday showed that the public agencies, schools and residential divisionshad exceeded their fund drive goals. The Public Agencies Divison raised $8,144 topping a goal of $8,000, the Schools Division collected $11,730 against a goal of $11,600, and the Residential Division took in $6,544 topping a goal of $5,900.

Food Center would vacate two city streets, and increase the store’s area by more than one-third, the Hastings City Council heard Monday night. Council set a Jan. 15 public hearing on the issue of vacating the streets. A letter from Felpausch Vice President Donald Lawrence to the council expressed the need to expand the store’s present 29,953 square feet with a proposed addition of 12,400 square feet. The addition will extend off the south side of the present building, cutting off E. Court Street east of S. Michigan Ave., as well as closing off Center Street from Fall Creek east to Boltwood Street for additional parking. "Last year in the United States, the average size of a supermarket constructed was in excess of 36,000 square feet,” read the letter. “We have determined the Hastings store is outdated and needs to be modernized and expanded, so that we can continue to provide Felpausch’s proposed expansion would increase the store size by more than one-third by constructing o 12,400-square-feet addition south across Court Street. The store asked the city council Monday night to consider vacating Court Street, and part of Center Street, which is needed as an entrance to the south parking lot. County board OK’s $4.7 million budget by Steve Horton The Barry County Board of Com­ missioners Tuesday held a public hearing and then approved the 1985 budget of $4,694,388. The overall figure is down from the current budget of $4,805,296. Commissioner James Goraun said the big difference between this year’s figure and next year’s projected one is the fund balance, the money being carried over into the new fiscal year. Last year it was $430,000, while this year it's being estimated at $283,000. Gordon noted though that the former figure was caused by an oversight in 1983. “We were operating on a half a battery or something that day, but we failed to figure in an extra $136,000 for the fund balance from 1982 to 1983," he explained. “We were looking at our expenditures and saw that we hadn't spent $115,013 and used that as the Jan. 1, 1983 fund balance. However, we failed to account for $136,000 in additional revenues that weren't anticipated in the 1982 budget." Gordon said the oversight was discovered at the end of 1983 and the extra money was then put into the 1984 budget. He added that part of the money was put into a budget stablization fund and some into the captial improvement fund. “The fund balance is determined by two things," he noted. "If you spend more or less money than you think you will or if you get more or less revenue than was anticipated or any combination of those two." Other than that, the projected revenues for the coming year are on line with the current budget. Property taxes and other taxes are estimated at $2,691,584, up slightly from this year. Both state and federal revenue sharing monies for next year are also up from the current one. On the other hand, projections are for less income from interest, refunds and rebates, and charges for services and fees. On the expenditure side, the county is figuring increased in employee salaries and fringes. Gordon noted though that those figures are not yet locked in. "There's bound to be admendments to the budget, specifically as determined by the employee contracts," he said. “The sheriff department (Fraternal Order of Police) group is now in arbitration and the Cour­ thouse Employee /Kssocialion's wages will be tied into the cost-of-living that comes out on Dec. 1. We're figuring that at close to 4 percent " Gordon added that money is being put aside tor any increases that are allowed in the contract with sheriff department em­ ployees. "Hopefully what we have will cover it," he said. Additional money is also being ap­ propriated to the Medical Facility, going frem $50,000 to $125,000. This, Gordon said, was brought about because of a change in formula required by the federal government. “Local governments have to shell out more money in order to maintain the (current) level of medicaid.” he added. "We will continue to budget money for capital improvements ($100,000) and will continue to provide $90,000 to the townships for road work." he said, speaking on two other budget line items. He noted as well that some new positions were allowed for in 1984 and have been continued in 1985. Tom Feldpousch, the store's executive vice president (left) and Brad Comport, Felpausch’s comptroller, told council that south was the only feasible direction for the store to expand. our customers with first-rate services and products." The proposed expansion will increase the store's total area of 42,353 square feel. "To accomplish this, we have considered the various options available to us. One is to use company property on Cook Road to build a new structure. The other option is to remodel to increase the size of our present store. Unfortunately, the only practical method to do this is to expand to the south across Court Street,” read the letter. The letter stated that moving the store's operation out of Hastings "would not be beneficial to the downtown business district of the dty or community. It is our wish to do all that is possible to maintain our operations at its present location.” Hastings Attorney Richard Shaw, a part­ ner in the law firm which handles the city’s legal affairs, said he and city officials felt "That the very worst thing that could happen to downtown is for Felpauch to move its store." He called such a move “detrimental to the city, and the tax base." Shaw said he and Mayor Cook approached the store's management about staying in the city. "We didn’t want to just one day read in the Banner that Felpausch was going to build a new store on Cook Road, and we said that if there was anything we could do to help them stay downtown, let us know." said Shaw. Shaw said he learned from Felpausch’s management that the store could only ex­ pand south across Court Street. “There isn't any other way to go. To go to the east would cut into the parking area," said Shaw. He said the proposed design would also facilitate the checkout process by directing the flow of customers coming into the store away from the customers leaving. Brad Comport, Felpausch’s comptroller, told councilmembers that several factors prevented the store from expanding north, and squaring off the building with State Street. “One of the problems is we have a long­ term lease with the credit union (al the comer of State Street and S. Michigan Avenue)," said Comport. In addition, he said, the store’s suppliers are having problems backing up their semi trucks, and said “We would have even more dramatic problems if we squared the property off." Comport said that the eastward expansion would make possible a building design that is inline consumers' preference, as outlined by market research. Added income improves budget by Robert J. Johnston and Norma Acker Added revenues and<a bookkeeping change are expected to bring the Hastings Area Schools budget closer into balance. Superintendent Carl A. Schoessei said, last week. The amended 1984-85 budget adopted by the school board in October showed a $186,238 deficit, which was to be made up from a $678,048 fund balance that remained at the end of the last fiscal year. * As reported last month, the board expects a bonus payment of $100,016 in state aid, $28 per student, for meeting a set of minimum curriculum requirements outlined by the State Board of Education. Schoessei said that money should be received with the January state aid payment and added into budget revenues at that time. The superintendent said that the district has received approval for a $30,000 grant through the federal Job Training Part­ nership Act (JPTA) which will be used to pay for a career counsellor. The budget already includes the expense for the position, but not the revenue from the grant money. The school district will also receive $3,977 in federal Chapter I money for special education and $3,200 in a state vocational education grant for a health aides training program. A bookkeeping change, recommended by school auditors, will allow $9,000 now kept in a separate account to be placed into the schools' general fund. The $9,000 has been set aside in a fund for the Statewide Com­ munication and Dissemination System (SCADS), through which Hastings receives federal funds to publish a state newsletter dealing with special education. Schoessei said that the schools will also receive $7,000 for acting as the JPTA fiscal agent for the State Technical Institute and Rehabilitation Center at Pine Lake The total of all of the additional money Continued on Page 2 Group forms against nuclear war Drug awareness program set The Hastings Elementary and Junior High Parent Teacher Organizations are sponsoring a drug awareness program for all parents in the all-purpose room at Southeastern Elementary on Tuesday evening, Nov. 20 at 7:30 p.m. Sgt.

They’ll now receive $2,400 a year. In addition, their meeting per diem, which does not include regular com­ mission sessions, was raised from $25 a day to $30. ■’We checked with other counties to see what their road commission board members were receiving and also the amount of meetings our board at­ tended." said Ted McKelvey, county commissioner. “In 1984 they had 26 regular meetings and they’re figuring on 31 other meetings, about 20 of which they charged per diems for. They don't charge for short meetings." McKelvey recommended the salary and per diem increases, noting that this had been put off since last year and that the road commission “is quite active". In a related matter, the county commissioners reappointed Robert Russell to a six-year term on the road commission. Rucsell received written en­ dorsements from the 16 township supervisors, plus the Hastings and Barry Township Boards. I| Two of the organizers of the Barry County Peace Circle (first two on left). Beatrice and Jim Pino, address the Circle of its monthly meeting last Thursday. At right is Rev. Michael Anton, another member of the group, and pastor of the Grace Lutheran Church where the Circle meets. by Steve Vedder Through education, communication or possibly even through non-violent protest, organizers of the Barry County Peace Circle are confident their voice will be heard in the escalating controversy over nuclear war. The circle, which was formed last March, currently has 22 members frem across Barry County, "concerned with the possible ex­ tinction of life or at least life as we know it," says one of the founders. Beatrice Pino of Nashville. Though some area churches do feature small offshoot groups that meet to discuss the problems and effects of nuclear war, the Barry County Peace Circle is the largest organization of its kind in the county, says Mrs. Pino. The organization features people of all ages and denominations and meets the first Thursday of every month at the Grace Lutheran Church on North Street in Hastings. Mrs. Pino claims the possibility of ex­ tinction by nuclear war is a threat that is largely ignored by the general public. The leading objective of the circle then, says Mrs. Pino, is to enlighten the populace on the ever-growing menace. "We all worry about the survival of our children." says Mrs. Pino, who contends at least part of the solution is for governments of all nations to work in concert to reduce its "huge nuclear garbage pile," as she calls it. The circle is particularly critical of the policies and role the United States govern­ ment has assumed in the controversy. "No one is in charge — 1 don't think anybody really knows ful'y what is going on." says Mrs. Pino. Not even the president." As a result, the circle has in its own way tried to present to the public the devastations and horrors of nuclear war At its monthly meetings the circle has watched three movies on nuclear war while sponsoring a fourth movie which was open to the public called "Testament" — the story of how a family fought to survive the effects of a nuclear strike. In addition, the circle has distributed leaflets on the effects of a nuclear holocaust. At its Nov. 8 meeting, the circle split into four study groups to determine future ob­ jectives of th« organization. The groups included the study of the ethical and moral sides to a nuclear buildup, what the group can do to educate and reach the outside population, how the group can work with legislators, and the possibility of staging a non-violent protest. As for the non-violent protest objective, the majority of the group is planning to join a prayer vigil on Dec. 2 at Williams In­ ternational Corporation in Walled Lake Continued on Page 2 �Page 2— The Hastings Banner — Thursday. November 15, 1984 VIEWPOINT Marauding dogs pose problem for livestock Commentaries from our editorial staff and the community — EDITORIAL by Steve Veddei Too close for comfort The decision by the Hastings Board of Education, last month, to adopt a deficit budget for the current school year is too reminiscent of lhe fiscal insecurity of the recent past. Although school officials say lhe budget will be within $30,000 of being balanced by the end of the school year, teetering on the edge of red ink is not a comfortable situation. School officials could not have foreseen the sharp drop in adult education enrollment that created a loss of $306,069 in projected state aid money. Apparently, the change in Department of Social Services rules which caused the enrollment drop was not expected by any school system. Hastings is fortunate that lhe combination of last year’s millage hike and increases in state aid created a year-end surplus of $678,000 for the past school year. This money will cover any deficit for the current year. What causes the most discomfort in the current situation is that the school board took no action to correct the deficit situation and, in fact, increased expenditures in the face of decreased revenue. Longtime board member George Wibalda spoke out against the action and rightly so. Wibalda weathered the sea of red ink that Hastings schools faced in the late 1970’s and early 1980's. He understands how quickly budget surpluses can disappear and how undependable are promises of state aid. School board members pledged fiscal responsibility when they were running for election. Adopting a budget that will be out of balance at the end of the school year does not fulfill that pledge. If cuts must be made in the expanded school programs to bring lhe budget back in line, then it is the ooard’s responsibility to do so. United Way still short The good news is that the United Way drive in Hastings topped $100,000 yesterday. The bad news is that the end of the drive is near, but it is still $16,000 short of its goal. Pledges are still coming in but it will take a final push from every part of the community to put the drive over the top. Three of the eight divisions — public agencies, schools and residential — have surpassed their goals. They exemplify the kind of community support that the 11 agencies of the United Way need to continue performing their services. For those who have not yet pledged, three points need to be em­ phasized. First, 95 percent of lhe money raised is spent locally. The $116,326 that the Hastings Area Community Fund hopes to raise is used to support local programs. In addition, more money is returned in services to local people by statewide agencies than is sent away from here to the United Way of Michigan. Second, volunteers are the backbone of United Way agencies. A part-time or full-time professional director may run a program like Camp Fire, YMCA, or the Red Cross. But it is the volunteers who provide countless hours of time and caring that keep the programs operating in our community. Third, United Way consolidates the fundraising efforts of many organizations into one big drive. Not only is this more cost efficient fundraising, it also saves the community from having continuous fundraising drives. Your chance to provide a helping hand to your community comes every Fall with the United Way. Your support is needed. The goal is near.

Peace group, continued Williams International builds first-strike cruise missies. The entire circle is dedicated to alleviating the threat of nuclear war, says Mrs. Pino. For instance her husband, Jim. a member of the circle who in the past has worked with California lawmakers on the passage of anti­ nuclear legislation, says the masses must become better educated in the end results of a nuclear war. He scoffs at the theory that the fourth world war will be a primitive affair decided by clubs and stones. "There won't be anybody left for a fourth world war.' he says. “We urge people to consider the thought of nuclear war now." Michael Anton, pastor of the Grace Lutheran Church and a member of the circle, says the organization is by no means over­ stating the effects of a nuclear devastation. "It's not an over-reaction at all," he says. "One statistic says we can eradicate the earth 17 times over right now. This is the scientific community talking. That by itself says we're not over-estimating the problem Hastings "Remember, weve not yet invented a weapon that we haven't used." Pino says the anti-nuclear movement parallels theanti-Vielnam peace movements of the 1960s. The Vietnam rallies, he says, pointed out to the American public what actually was happening in that country and also pressured the government into even­ tually bringing the war to a halt. "People learned about ending the war through groups like those and eventually it forced us out of Vietnam," says Pino. "This is going to happen here." Vera Morkovin, a Barry County resident who is an associate professor of emergency medicine at Michigan State, says the anti­ nuclear sentiment has been growing steadily in the 40 years since the end of World War II. She calls the sentiment, "a grass roots movement that lias swept the world." "It’s been a kind of psychic numbing," says Mrs. Morkovin. "that nobody seems to have understood what has been going on." Rev. Anton summerizes the opinions of the entire circle with a final comment on the threat of nuclear war. He says, "You can't believe that it's one of those problems that if you don't think about it, it'll go away." Banner Send »orm PS. 3579 to P.O Box B (USPS 071-830) 1952 N. Broadway, P.O. Box B.

Millard Doster says you can check goat and sheep pens 99 times and find virtually nothing wrong. Last Friday morning was the exception. Acting on a tip from a neighbor who said she heard loud screams coming from the pens, the Dosters, who live nearly two miles from their herd, hurried to the area and found two dogs viciously attacking their large goat and sheep herd. When the dogs were finally driven off, the Dosters found 31 of their goats had been killed while nine others were critically wounded enough to the point where they would probably die within days. It wasn't the first time such attacks have plagued (he Doster family, which lives on Three Mile Road in Doster. Over the past 100 years of raising goats and sheep, the Doster family have lost 36 animals one day, 43 on another, and 57 on a third tragic occasion. “We've lost hundreds of sheep and goals over the years." says Doster, who claims the family lost $8,000 on the latest attack. "We lose some damn near every year." Doster says the dogs were not wild — they were likely tame enough at least at one time to be somebody's pet. “The majority of these dogs all have collars and some even have licenses." says Doster. "They are dogs that people just let run around." Dick Engel, supervisor of the Barry' County Animal Shelter, says the problem of marauding dogs is particularly troublesome this fall. Normally only one call of the shelter's 200 monthly complaints will be over a dog killing livestock. This fall the figure has increased to two or three monthly calls much like the Doster incident. "It's the worst it has been in a long time,” admits Engei. who knows of one pack of eight These dogs don't kill for meat, he says They kill because they become obsessed over the scent of blood. One killing usually leads to two and if left unchecked a scene like that al the Dosters becomes all too common. In the case of the Dosters' goa’s, lhe dogs killed the goats by either tearing their windpipes or snapping lhe goats' spinal cord — both common practices among dogs which kill livestock. Neither Engei nor the Dosters, who agree lhe problem is traditionally worse ir. the fall, can offer a concrete solution to the problem of dogs killing livestock. Engel recently attended a seminar on the topic al Michigan Slate. Eighty three counties sent animal shelter representatives to lhe meeting but no solutions came of the meeting. "Nobod}' could come up with an answer,” says Engel. “Just that we should enforce the state leash law." The state leash law says in effect that all dogs must either be tied up or under supervision at all times when they're out­ side. Engel estimates as many as 40 percent of the slate’s dog owners ignore the law, which is a difficult one for Engel's office to enforce. “We're got a problem and we're trying to remedy it," he says. "I don't know the solution." Doster s solution is simple: A dog should Millard Doster shows most of the 31 goats he lost last week when two dogs attacked the goats' pen. The problem of dogs attacking livestock has increased this fall, according to Dick Engel of the Barry County Animal Shelter. be either controlled by a chain or be in the owner's possession 24 hours a day. 365 days a year. Also, if a person sees a dog chasing deer or terrorizing livestock, call the local DNR officer or animal shelter. Whatever lhe solution. Doster says dog owners should at least be aware of the problem. “Let's say my goat went over to my neigh­ bor and killed their dog." says Doster. "They’d say, 'Oh, how terrible ' But if their dog comes over here and kills my sheep there's no sympathy." Doster’s wife Nancy says their livestock are treated almost like household pets. Losing them is not only expensive, but emotionally tramatic. If you could hear them screaming in pain as they died..." she says, shaking her head Engel doen't believe it is too much for a dog owner to keep his dog tied up. "No it’s not asking too much," he says "Not if they love their dog like they say . You can t just let him run loose.” Because livestock owners realize the risk that dogs can cause, they have to keep a constant vigil over their pens, says Doster. 'Ils just another burden,” he shrugs "You can check a pen 100 times and it would be okay. And then one day a dog comes out of the woods and hits you." And in this case at least, hits hard. Police need warrant or must return property by Ken Reibcl Cash and other valuable items seized during a raid in Barry Township Oct. 11 must be returned after Monday unless state police can get a warrant issued for the owner’s arrest. Under the order handed down by Barry District Court Judge Gary Holman. Tuesday, members of the Michigan State Police South­ west Enforcement Team (SWET) must obtain a warrant by Friday for Michael Carlson. 28, formerly of 5810 Herbert Road, or return to him items which police say were seized as evidence against him. Also confiscated in the raid were several large garbage bags full of marijuana, and a quantity of cocaine. Carlson has not been charged in connection with the raid. Arrested during the raid was Jack Dean Roe, 33. whom police say lived at the same address. He was placed on an informal probation last week on a misdemeanor charge, pending his sentencing which is scheduled for next May. Carlson's attorney, Randall Levine of Kalamazoo, said police confiscated $6,840 in cash, checkbooks, tax returns, car titles, land contracts, a real estate abstract, two passports, a phone book, receipts, and other personal papers. “This is ridiculous," said Levine. “A month has gone by without my client being charged.” He called the confiscation "a ruse by the police to get into somebody's house, seize documents, and hope to find something to help them investigate." LL Michea) Bowie, team leader (SWET), testified that police found "four or five” large, 20-gallon plastic bags of marijuana in the garage, and “cannibas residue" throughout the home, leading police to believe the house was used to process marijuana imported through Canada and Mexico. “It's not unusual to find large assets of cash in controlled substance cases,” said Bowie, when asked why he searched a filing cabinet, a safe, and a briefcase belonging to Added income improves school budget, continued should reach $153,193, Schoessel said. “That brings us to within about $30,000 (of the deficit!,” he continued. “As soon as we knew about the shortfall, we told the ad­ ministrators about it.” He said that he hopes that administrators can save most of the remaining $30,000 by not spending money already budgeted. He added that other areas where savings might be achieved are in the budgets for substitute teachers and repairs and gifts that may take the place of budgeted items. “If we don’t balance Lie budget, we are not going to have to tap into the fund balance that much,” Schoessel continued. He pointed out that the $678,000 fund balance on June 30 was the biggest balance that the schools have had, far exceeding the previous largest balance of $281,083 achieved in 1977-78. In 1981-82, the budget had a deficit of $372,540, he noted. The superintendent said that he viewed.a $600,000 yearly fund balance on an $8.4 million annual budget as adequate for now. Over the long-term, however, he said that the annual fund balance should be increased. The biggest cause of the budget deficit was the loss of $309,069 in state aid money due to a drop in enrollment for adult education. The decrease was caused by changes in the rules of the state Department of Social Services that no longer require school attendence for some people receiving aid.

Schoessel said that the full board will be receiving proposals on the purchase of the buses, which have already been reviewed by the transportation committee. “It's a major purchase,” he said. "In the neighborhood of $90,000." Last year’s millage hike provided funds to purchase three buses per year over the next four years. At the meeting, the board is expected to accept $5,627.66 in gift money. The break­ down of the gifts are as follows: — Clayton and Helen Hauschild will donate $2,500 for a protable sound system for the high school in memory of their daughter, Betsy. — Central PTO will donate $775 for computer software — Northeastern PTO will donate $562.66 for computer software. —Southeastern PTO will donate $1,040 for an Apple computer starter system. — Pleasanlview PTA will donate $450 for supplemental classroom material. » — the Knights of Columbus will donate $300 for special education materials. Schoessel said that he will be presenting plans to establish a Hastings Education Enrichment Foundation. “It would provide enrichment funds for things that wouldn't or couldn’t be provided by the general fund.” he said. He said that some private citizens ex­ pressed an interest in setting up such a foundation. last year. "It's really becoming quite common," he said. The foundation will have lax exempt status. The board is expected to appoint Pat Purgiel as eight grade baskball coach, Jerry Holley to coach seventh grade boys basketball and Stephanie Girrbach as high school cheerleading coach. Band instructors Joseph LaJoye and Joan Bosserd-Schroeder are expected to be granted tenure by the board. The hoard is also expected to appoint Nancy Simpson to the Barry Intermediate Special Education Parent Advisory Com­ mittee. She will replace Dave McIntyre. The board will go into closed session after the regular meeting to discuss negotiations with the custodial-maintenance association. Schoessel said that the first negotiations with the28-member bargaining unit took place on Nov. 12. The group's contract expired June 30. Wallace Benner is president of the custodial-maintenance association. Carlson. He said a brief inspection of Carlson's tax returns during the raid in­ dicated reported gross and net income smaller than Carlson's assets would in­ dicate. “I concluded (Carlson s papers) indicated a flow of cash from Carlson to persons I know to be targets of police investigations into narcotics," said Bowie. "One of the things we look for in cases such as this is very often reported income is in­ consistent with holding of real or personal property," said Bowie. “I saw things that I have been trained to look for." Bowie said copies of Carlson's tax returns have been turned over to the Internal Revenue Service and the Michigan Depart­ ment of Treasury. Judge Holman told the investigators that they have held Carlson's belongings long enough. “At some point in time this has to come to a head," he said. "Either use it or give it back.” Dale Crowley, Barry County assistant prosecutor, declined comment on the case, except to say that there is a statute of limitations on how long police can hold seized evidence without executing an arrest warrant. However, he told the Banner he did not know how long that period was. PUBLIC OPINION What issue or policy should Reagan address?

The group voted to change their name to Kilpatrick Adult Fellowship because that more clearly tells what the organization is and does. The annual Christmas party was planned. It will be held at the home of Kay and Irene Moore on the second Saturday of December. The program was a book report by Pastor George Speas on "Trials and Triumphs" by Dr. Paul Fetters and others. This book tells the history of the United Brethren in Christ denomination. Pastor Speas said that the church had been established by German immigrants and had retained the use of the German language for many years, and for that reason the denomination had not spread into ci ties or new areas as fast as some other denominations that were founded at about the same time, such as the United Methodists. Historically, Woodland Town­ ship has had more Brethren churches than any other comparable area in the United States. Several of them have merged into other denominations or have disappeared as the people died and their children moved away. The pulpit search committee of the Woodgrove Brethren-Christian Parish Church held a meeting on Nov. 3 and the members of the committee were given a list of potential candidates for the position of pastor at the church. They selected three possible pastors and have scheduled in­ terviews with them for Nov. 28 , 29, and 30.

Charlotte Heath After raising a family and retiring from a 20-year teaching career, Charlotte Heath maintains a busy schedule that encirles her interests in church, people and history. Mrs. Heath, a home economics major in college, also pursues needlework and hand­ crafts in her spare time. One of her most recent and complex projects this summer was making a detailed counted cross-stitch picture, depicting “The 12-Days of Christ­ mas." for a granddaughter's birthday gift. Past projects have included macrame items, embroidery and quilting. Although she's lived in several places in Barry County, spent five years in Northville in the eastern part of the state and more than two years in Alabama, her roots go back to Rutland Township. That's where she was raised on a farm and attended the former one-room Chidester School through eighth grade. After graduation from Hastings High School, she attended Western Michigan University where she obtained her degree. “I taught one year, in the early '30s, at Welcome Corners," said Mrs. Heath. After that she taught home economics and English at Hastings Junior High before transferring to a home economics leaching position at Hastings High. An interest in sewing and crafts was developed during her childhood when she participated in the first local 4-H group Io organize here. Her affiliation with 4-H continued into adulthood as a leader, teaching everything from outdoor cooking to cattle projects. She was involved in a leadership capacity with several 4-H groups, including the Starr School group. Eventually, Mrs. Heath was recognized for logging 25-years in 4-H. She and her husband, Adelbert, have lived at Algonquin Lake since he retired in the late'70s. They have three children and seven­ grandchildren. Their daughter Mary Ellen lives in Lowell, another daughter Sally resides in California and son Bill lives south of Hastings. Although Mrs. Heath says living in Alabama and Northville were interesting experiences, she's glad to be back in Barry- County. Since her return, she has been active with the Hastings Women's Club and currently serves as its vice president. She also has held the office of recording secretary. She has high praise for the women's club: •'I think it's grand. It's a nice chance to meet different people and it gives you a broader view...I enjoy women's club. Asa member of the First United Methodist Church in Hastings. Mrs. Heath is active with the United Methodist Women and has held practically every office. She's now a circle chairman and says she tries to help out with varioius projects and activities as much as she can. She also has been involved in helping with cancer drives in the past. She and her husband share a joint interest in serving as volunteers at Charlton Park. Mrs. Heath was one of the interested persons who encouraged the formation of a docent group to provide tours and educational historical information to visitors at Charlton Park. They have enjoyed volunteering their time as docents at the park’s restored Bristol Inn, Hull House and Lee School. One of Mrs. Heath's favorite recipes has an interesting history loo. It's a recipe for squash biscuits that she obtained from a friend in Northville who says the recipe has been used in her family for more than a century. Mrs. Heath said her grandchildren especially love the squash biscuits and ex­ pect her to make them for special occasions like Christmas and other holidays •‘They're not hard Io make," she notes. The addition of squash to the batter, gives the bisquits an interesting yellow ap­ pearance. They also have a slight sweet taste because the dough is dipped in melted butter and then in sugar before being baked. Charlotte's Squash Biscuits Squash biscuits, made from a recipe that's more than 100 years old, is a favor­ ite with Charlotte Heath's grandchildren. Here.

Barry County Lumber, from any Rotary member or at the door The sights, sounds, and smells of the country fair makes us all children again. I remember pink cotton candy spun into large paper cones — the unforgettable aroma of foot-longs and caramel corn — the hawking of ven­ dors. and feathered celluloid dolls dancing crazily from thin canes. There were rows of teddy bears and chalk­ ware kewpies in garish glitter waiting to be won in games of chance. At home you were taught not to stare al folks different than you — but at the fair you knew it was alright to stare in disbelief at the bearded fat-lady, the lizard-skinned boy. and the near-naked dancing girls who displayed their talents on a stage higher than your head. Screams of delight from the fun­ house. the octopus, and the mile-high ferris wheel mingled with the calliope music from the merry-go-round. Hot, sweaty roustabouts operated the rides and always seemed indifferent to the special needs of little folks. Of all the attractions at the fair, the carousel, or merry-go-round, seems to epitomize in our memories. When we become adults, we can no longer feel the fearful delight of riding a fierce lion, or tall giraffe, or a prancing steed which carries us intoa world of fantasy. Perhaps this is why carousels and their animal menageries of bygone days are so very collectible to many adults. The animals have wonderfully animated expressions ranging from angelic to grotesque, from mystical to magnificent. The carousel as a whole is a mobile musical art-form with huge mirrors alternating on a circling rim with myriads of electric light sockets, huge oil paintings, carved faces, shields, tassels and large colored glass gems. In its heyday, the ba 1 us traded walk­ ways and the carousel itself teemed with excited children, parents and grandparents. The carousel slowed down to a complete stop to discharge its riders and gather up new riders maneuvering to locate a favorite animal or the lovers chariot with seats facing each other. Originating in Europe, the carousel reached its pinacle of success and beauty in the United States between 1879-1950. In France, about 1680, a mechanical amusement appeared with wooden horses and chariots suspended from a center pole operated manually by horse, mule, or man. Later, the in­ vention of the steam engine provided a more elaborate mechanism with a tilted floor designed to keep riders from falling off the platform. After the Civil War when the ship­ building industry declined, trained woodcarvers started to produce cigar­ store Indians, carousel animals, and circus show figures. Today, all of these are eagerly sought by the antique collector. Some of these circus show figures include the ostrich, rooster, hen, peacock and swan; farm animals such as the mule, donkey, goat, rabbit, cat and frog; jungle animals such as the giraffe, tiger, elephant, serpent, rhinoceros, and zebra. Other miscellany included the Roman soldier, steam-engine train, circus wagon, early auto, mermaid, kangaroo, fish, bear, mystical figures such as the centaur (half man, half horse) and the ever-popular nursery book characters. American made caroisel figures are more elaborately carved on the right side because the American carousel ran counter-clockwise, while European carousels ran clockwise. Figures on the outer row were about sixty inches long and equally as high with three feel on the ground. These animals were called "standers”. Animals on the inner rows were smaller and called “prancers” and “jumpers". Prancers have their back feel on the ground and their front legs in the air. Jumpers have four bent legs and move up and down. An experienced researcher of the carousel figure can link each piece to a certain carver. One carver might have excelled in luxuriantly chiseled manes, another in boxy knee joints and still another in elaborate Roman armor. A carver was free to identify himself with the finished figure only if he were also the manufacturer. However, a carver had ingenious ways of letting his work be known by blending his initials into carvings on a saddle or by carving a profile of himself on the side of the saddle. In other details, he was given free rein to add whatever embellishment be could dream up — such as wooden roses on saddle blankets, prominent buckles or trappings, a lariat looped over a saddle horn, or jewels on holsters. The uncommonplace was acceptable and expected on carousel figures. For example, one could see a stork figure carrying a blanketed baby or a clown riding backwards on a mule. If a mistake was made in carving, the spoiled portion was simply replaced with a portion of the same wood and then re-carved. To star ta figure, the artist-carver cut out two silhouetted sides using card­ board patterns. The tail, legs and heads of animals were made separately. The horse, in the process of assembly, moved through individual departments responsible for carving, addition of metal parts, painting, assembling, and careful finishing touches. Some animals stood still. Others moved up and down with movable heads, tongues, and other parts. One horse might be the lead or "king hor­ se". Horses and other animals were asexual. Mexican hand-carved horses were smaller and carved of yellow pine. Woods preferred by American craft­ smen included apple, poplar, and basswood. Today, the carousel and its carved wooden figures are genuine folk-art — authentic Americana — worthy of respect and preservation. A few for­ tunate collectors have found warehouses stocked with forgotten carousel figures. Single pieces have emerged at flea markets, garage sales, auction houses, newspaper ads, and gift shops. Prices for a rare piece may involve thousands of dollars. Menagerie animals are the most valuable because there are fewer of them. Elements in pricing include the manufacturer i-nd the carver's names or initials worked into the fine detailing, uniqueness of the piece, and its present condition. Originals, still in their own paint, may look less-than-new and can be restored. However, in so doing, the re-sale value may be lessened. It is believed that fewer than one hundred carousels are still operating in the U.S. _ for sale Oak FIREWOOD Buy Wholesale) Split, round or 8 ft. lengths.

The exceptions were election returns, mortgage sales, sheriff sales, legal notices and the like. Occasionally there were notices of important meetings, such as one on the pending railroad. The rest of the paper carried political items and news from the major metropolises around the world. The only local information were the ad­ vertisements of iocal merchants and the professional notices by doctors, lawyers, photographers and persons performing service-type businesses. One exception to the lack of local news was letters written to the paper. It appears that when a locally-known person went on a trip or moved to or from the vicinity, they wrote letters describing the other place. These let­ ters were then published in the paper for all to enjoy. The article this week is one of these accounts. The writer must have been well-known to the paper and the people living in town as the article was signed E.H.D. He was the Rev. E.H. Day, a Methodist clergyman who had been a missionary in the Lake Superior region for seven years. At the time this article appeared, he was serving the Indian mission on the Lower Peninsula in a regional area that included Branch, Calhoun, St. Joseph, Allegan, Kalamazoo, Eaton and Barry counties. This news article was rewritten in 1889 and published in Volume 14 of the Michigan Pioneer and Historical Collections. "Sketches of the North-West" from April 9,1857 (Hastings) Republican Banner It was the fall of 1845 that 1 was ap­ pointed to labor among the Indians between Lake Superior and the Mississippi River. Bidding a hasty good-by to friends and home, I took my wife and two boys (one a babe of six weeks old) and got on board a steamer at Detroit, bound for Sault DeSt. Marie, where in due time we arrived. There we expected to take the propeller In­ dependence, which we hoped to find ready for a trial trip to La Pointe; but instead of finding her ready, we found her only about halfway over the por­ tage. (Before the Soo Locks and canal were built, boats cn skids were moved along rails to get them around the rapids of the St. Mary’s River.) As there was no other way, we were compelled to sit down and wait as patiently as we could, to Jet her com­ plete her overland journey. In about t,wo weeks, during which time the snow fell about six inches deep, she dipped into the water above the falls and was ready for her journey. Receiving Capt. Stannard on board as a pilot, with joy we saw her part the blue waters of the river above the fall and heard the splash of the waves of Lake Superior against her prow, now for the first time disturbed by the power of steam. The weather was beautiful, it being the "Indian Summer" and not a ruffle disturbed the surface of the lake and hope whispered that we would soon reach our journey’s end. Owing to the smokey weather (fog), we ran by Copper Harbor and Eagle Harbor and touched at Eagle River. There we discharged part of our freight, and then ran back to Eagle Harbor, and from thence to Copper Harbor, and then again started for La Pointe, distance about 150 miles. We had as yet seen Lake Superior only in her mildest mood. But the scene was soon to change. We had already come within sight of the Apostle Islands upon one of which stands "La Pointe", when a squall from the west took us and we soon felt the force of a storm on Keche-gum-ming. For a time, we undertook to face the storm and gain the point, but in vain. The sails were torn to pieces and we were compelled to drift before the storm. Finding it useless to attempt to gain the island, we turned and ran back to seek the shelter of some friendly point. The wind blew a perfect hurricane, though there was only a few clouds to be seen. The rnlline of the vessel soon sent the passengers to their staterooms, and the loose freight bounded from one side of the boat to the other. Seeing my wife and children safe in the stateroom, and being free from sea sickness. I clam­ bered to the deck to see the sights. The com had burst from the barrels in which it had been shipped and was near knee deep. Broken dishes, which they had failed to secure in the hurry, were scattered in profusion, while a barrel of com had jumped through the kitchen door and mounted the cook stove, and there remained fixed. Other barrels leaped clear from the railing and found sea-room in the lake. Getting a firm hold of the shrouds, I case my eyes around, and an astonishing scene burst upon my view. In every direction, huge waves capped with foam, from which were reflected thousands of rainbows, made it -look like a scene of enchantment. The boat was now climbing to the top of some mountain wave, and then with the velocity of a frightened horse, dashed towards the bottom of the deep, as if bent upon dashing itself to pieces upon the rocks below. Having satisfied myself and got chilled, for it had grown cold, I sought the cabin and stateroom. But this was not easy to be obtained, for happening to make a wrong lurch. I found myself upon my back going across the cabin floor as I have seen boys sliding downhill and brought up with my legs under the stove. Attempting to gain an upright position. I upset the stove and then commenced a series of maneuvers, that is to say the least, were not very dignified. The passengers, hearing the noise, were seen sticking their heads out of their staterooms, holding on to the doors and making sundry motions to maintain an upright position, while the stove and myself were cutting various antics not put down in the play. Between us. we managed to break a double barrel shotgun when the steward, coming in, seized the stove and my wife, taking me by the collar as I passed the stateroom door, we were separated without either of us being very materially damaged. Most of us were well satisfied when in about ten hours after we dropped anchor behind point Kewenow (200 miles out of their way). there to wait until the wind would permit us to resume our journey. After dropping anchor, an examination showed that we were out of wood and, as the wind continued for several days, we got all the axes that we could find on board, and taking the yawl boat, went ashore; and for the first time the sound of the while man's axe was heard echoing through the forest. While we lay there, the snow fell to the depth of six or eight inches and that, together with the bleak, barren rocks, and stunted evergreens, mixed with the white birch, presented rather a gloomy prospect. Near a week elapsed before we could venture to leave the point and again enter Copper Harbor harbor. There the fort and barracks of the soldiers neatly whitewashed presented a fine appearance, mingled and partly shaded as they were, by the waving branches of the fir and spruce. The morning and evening gun sent its echoes booming across the lake, and bounding from hill to hill; but its noise was faint in comparison to that which was soon to break the stillness of the forest for the miner had not yet made the hills to tremble with his "sand­ blast". Having got on board a sufficient quantity of wood, we again left Copper Harbor, and this time succeeded in reaching La Pointe where the American Fur Co.’ had a trading post and the Presbyterian board a mission. There we were left by the propeller and the rest of our journey was to be per­ formed in an open boat. Having a letter of introduction to Dr. Borup, the agent of the Fur Co., we were not long in procuring a boat, and a crew of Indians, and starling for our future home, (hough we were told that it was ex­ tremely doubtful whether we could get through, as it frequently closed up before that lime, it then being well along in November. With this cheering assurance and many kind wishes from our Presbyterian friends, we pushed off from La Pointe with a crew whom it was impossible for me to converse, except by signs. But I was assured by my friends at La Pointe that if it was possible, they would take me safely through. The sky was fair, the days pleasant, but the nights frosty. Leaving late in the day, we progressed but about 15 miles the first day and pitched our lent on a small stream, where we could moor one boat, called Rasberry, Here I first had an insight into the science of Indian cooking. During the afternoon as we passed along, I saw something lying on the shore, which I pointed out to the Indians. It proved on nearing it to be an otter, which had been a long time dead, as its eyes were gone, and there were other symptoms of decay. They threw it into the boat. This they dressed and threw into the kettle, and mixing with it some bread and potatoes, forming for them a savory dish. I sat and looked at a brawny hand as it clenched the head, and with the point of a knife, en­ deavored to extract something like nutriment from the place where its eyes formerly had been, and I thought — I’ll not say what. At this place we laid all the next day trying to Find a dog that had ran away from one of the Indians and, as it proved, (was) the only day that we could travel. Just at night we started, and as it was full moon ran along until near midnight, when we again pitched our tent on a small stream. We soon learned that though the sand would give beneath the feet, it would not make a very soft bed to lie upon. Not only was the tent covered with frost in the morning, but frequently so would our garments that we had on, be covered likewise. In the morning, we again started, but as the sun arose, the wind came up and compelled us to put up. Twice did we try to round a point and were driven back. My wife, who had stood it well until this time, began to think that we had got to spend the winter there on the shore or perish in the woods. Drawing the boat upon the shore, tie Indians stretched themselves upon the ground and commenced smoking with as much indifference as if they had been in their wigwam. Not so with my wife. Taking her babe in her arms, she wandered off by herseli where in a little while I found her crying. Comforting as well as I could, we watched with longing eyes the going down of the sun in tapes that with it the wind would subside, and we resume our journey. One of the Indians wno saw my wife weeping reported, on reaching Fondulac. that I had given my wife a whipping, what else should she cry for? Night came at last and with it the wind went down, and we started just as the bread full moon rose out of the bosom of the lake. The Indians seemed to be glad to be moving and made the woods ring again with their wild shouts of laughter and song. For miles the high sand rocks rose boldly out of the water, crowned with evergreens, and as the moonbeams streamed through the I’ ’k foliage and thiew their downy shadows across us, as we slowly moved on near the base of the rocks, it required no very great stretch of the imagination to fancy us some bloody pirates, bent upon deeds of blood. In many places, the water had worn far away under the rocks and formed fantastic caves and arches into which we sometimes ran and emerged at a distant point, making the caverns echo and re-echo with the sound of the oars, or the wild shouts of the Indians. The deep solitude of the vast forest con­ trasted strangely with the heavy "chuck" of the waves as they sought the farthest part of these weird caves. The fourth day out from La Pointe, the low trees that border the extreme west of the lake were hailed with joy as a harbinger of good news as they told of a home though it should be with savages. Al this time, also, the wind changed to the east, and there was indications of a storm. As the breeze sprang up, the oars were laid aside and the sail hoisted. The wind continued to increase and, ere we could reach the mouth of the St. Louis River, it had increased to a gale and the lake was white with foam. We were also wet with the spray, but we succeeded in entering the mouth of the river without any accident say shipping a little water. Running along by the shore we fo'md a little sheltered nook where we pitched our tents, thankful as the storm howled around us, that we were not on the lake. Corering ourselves as well as we could, for the rain had begun to fall, we were soon wrapped in slumber. About midnight I was awakened by an un­ comfortable sensation and found my lower extremities nearly submerged in a pool of water. As the rain was falling in torents without, we were in rather a bad fix. But the morning came at last, and brought with it the cheering hope that we should that night sleep under the shelter of a roof. Starting with the rising sun, we slowly wound our way up the river, now passing large marshes covered with wild rice, then meadows of tall grass, when suddenly turning a bend of the river, the shout and an­ swering shout of the Indians announced that we had come insight of in-god-u-anong, our future home. Soon our boats were moored to a slake, and we surrounded with the dusky forms of savages, with whom we had come to labor.

November 15, 1984 Increases chances for success Deer hunters should follow these rules by Steve Vedder has attracted any does. Another sign of deer activity are tree rubs — usually against overhanging branches. The rubs, again made when a- buck is ner­ vous during the rut, are actually nothing more than a scent rubbed into the wood from a gland in the buck’s eye. As in the manner of the ground scrapes, the overhanging scrapes are a calling card left to the does. Willison also says hunters should find and stake out deer runways, which lead deer from their resting to feeding areas. The runways, dotted with hoof prints, are nothing more than a worn down trail like the kind livestock would make leauing from their pastures. The fact that a hunter recognizes the signs and has scouted the area is the No. 1 key to success, 'ays Willison. "It’s the most important part of deer hunting because you know where you’re going and whether there are deer there," he says. It's not as easy as snatching up one's 12gauge shotgun on opening morning, locating a suitable if not moderately warm spot, and then wailing anxiously for the 10-point buck of your dreams to ramble by. If that's all the preparation a deer hunter puts into his sport, the 10-point buck will likely always remain a part of the hunter's dream and not his freezer. Barry County Conservation Officer Brent Willison says there are numerous ways by which a hunter may increase his chances of taking a buck during the upcoming firearm deer hunting season. The most important of which is pre-season scouting and noting of deer signs in the area where the buck ac­ tivity is heavy. One telltale sign of deer activity are "ground scrapes" made by bucks in the heat of the rut. Willison calls the scrapes "calling cards to the does." The buck will make the scrape and then return to the spot to see if it "Luck is not enough. A hunter must prepare." As for the 1984 firearms season in Barry County, Willison has collected information from the number of car-deer accidents, farmers’ crop damage reports and from his own sightings, and says the county could be in for a banner year in 1984. "As far as I'm concerned it will be one of the best,” says Willison. ‘Maybe not for taking trophy sized bucks but a lot of the bucks in the 1>4 year, 6-point class." Willison offers his prediction despite the knowledge that pre-season poaching has increased significantly in the county this fall. The poaching has in many cases caused bucks, scouted legally by hunters days before the season, to mcve to different spots — sometimes up to a mile away. Willison is also concerned with what he calls "the hunter's image." He it is incumnent on the part of the hunters to be careful with the image they present to the general, non-hunting public. To bolster that image, Willison suggests several avenues such as making sure every attempt is made to track a wounded anima*, never being careless with firearms, and never shooting near farmers’ livestock or near other people's property. The best way to bolster that "hunter's image" is to adhere to safety rules. Among the Cardinal rules are: — Being familiar with one's gun. Willison says never borrow an unfamiliar gun because if it jams, for instance, the hunter should know exactly how to fix it safely. — Always wear hunter blaze orange if hunting on open land. — Know your shooting zone. A hunter should ALWAYS know what he's shooting at and what’s beyond his target. — Be physically fit If you have to, work out before the season. Most deer hunting deaths are attributed to heart attacks, not ac­ cidental shootings. "The excitement of getting a deer and hauling it up sometimes is too much,” says Willison. Hunters should be aware of hypothermia dangers Conservation officer Brent Willison looks over some buck rubs. Finding such indications of deer activity, plus other rules of the hunt, can increase a sports­ man's chances for success this season. > _ __ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _— Sports Public access sites The Public Access Stamp Program Is’ designed to permit public access to farmlands by hunters paying a 11.00 fee.

If this isn’t possible, the internal tem­ perature of the meat should be cooled to 40 F or below within 24 hours. When traveling, strap the carcass to the roof of the car and cover with cheese-cloth or light bags if skinned. If the weather is cool and cloudy, the carcass can be placed in the trunk of the car, if the lid is propped open. Never strap the animal to the hood of a vehicle because the engine heat can spoil the meat. Freezing is the easiest way to preseve venison. To prepare venison for freezing, trim away connective tissue and fat, the source of strong "gamey” flavor.

"Hypothermia is life-threatening," he says, “butitcan almost always be prevented by observing proper precautions. But if they are ignored it can be life-threatening." Dr. McNinch says the most important precaution is to dress in loose-layered, warm clothing. It insulates by trapping warm air between layers. He also stresses keeping clothes dry and avoid overheating and sweating. It is par- heavy aluminum foil, laminated freezer paper, thick plastic freezer bags, or plastic film excluding air and preventing moisture losses wherever possible. Package in quantities you family will eat in one meal. Label each package with the date and cut of meat. Freeze quickly to 0 degrees F or below. In a home freezer, freeze no more than two pounefe per cubic foot of total storage space atone time. Overloading slows down the rate of freezing, and foods that freeze too slowly may lose quality or spoil. For quickest freezing, place packages against freezing plates or coils and leave a space between packages so air can circulate freely. One inch of air space oneecbsirface is adequate. Once the packages of venison are frozen, they may be stacked. Keep the freezer temperature at 0 degrees F or below. For best eating quality, use frozen ground venison within two to three months. Frozen venison steaks or roasts should be used within eight to 12 months. Hunting facts and rules The season: Nov. 15-30.

State St. Hastings It isn’t a foremost worry, but the dangers of hypo term ia should be recognizable to most hunters before they take to the woods. Dr. Dale McNinch of the Pennock Hospital emergency ward says hypothermia, which is an abnormally low internal body tem­ perature caused by exposure to the cold, can be easily preventable for a hunter. “You don't have to worry about it a lot unless a hunter gets in rain or wet snow," says Dr. McNinch. "The chances are greater of getting hit with it when the temperatures are 35-50 degrees than when it's colder." Hypothermia is caused by a loss of body heat primarily through the skin and through breathing. The body maintains its heat by narrowing the blood vessels in the skin which reduces the flow of warm blood near the body's surface. As the skin's blood flow is increased, most heat is released from the body's "Inner core," which cools off the body and lowers its internal temperature. One of the dangers of hypothermia is that a person may not realize they are becoming cold and their bodies may not be adjusting well to the temperature change.

It is not required on private lands. ticularly important to keep hands and feet warm and dry. Dr. McNinch says a hypothemia victim ideally should be treated in a hospital, but there are some steps that can be taken at home. For example, protect the person from the cold with extra clothes, blankets, towels or quilts taking care to cover the person’s head and neck. Also, do not place the person in a hot shower or bath, but Dr. McNinch says he has no problem with giving a mild hypothermia victim hot food or hot drinks. Do not raise the victim's feet — as this allows cold blood to flow into the body's core and will further reduce the body’s tem­ perature. Do not massage the person’s arms or legs. Above all, keep calm and call for professional medical attention if you suspect someone of having hypothermia. Widespread poaching spoils hunting for the rest of people Poaching is defined as any violation of DNR hunting regulations from illegal equipment to taking a deer without a license. It is an unfortuante part of hunting, and one that the DNR is constantly trying to do battle against. Barry County Conservation officer Brent Willison estimates that only one half of one percent of poachers — probably only 25-30 hunters out of a possible 5,000 poachers — are ever arrested. The DNR estimates that one doe out of 10 and two to three bucks out of 10 are poached. Those are figures that Willison said bothered him when he first became a con­ servation officer, but he’s realized a few truths since that time. "I can see reality a little better now," says Willison. "If you scratch the surface enough (with arrests) for the poachers to know Thars about all you can exjStt." Willison says the best way to control poaching is for the hunters to police them­ selves. By contacting the local conservation officer or the Report All Poaching (RAP) hotline (1-800-292-7800) and relying in­ formation such as vehicle description model and make, license number and unusual features, arrests and convictions are more likely to occur. Willison says hunters are getting better at blowing lhe whistle on violators. "The school-boy mentality of not squealing on a buddy is ridiculous," says Willson. Willison says some of the worst poaching Is done by what he terms the "back-door violators." These are the hunters who paoch on their own land simply because it is their land. They believe owning the land is suf­ ficed reason to break the rules. "That probably has more of an impact (on hunting) than the poaching in the woods ’’ says Willison. , ik q 1984 Deer Check Stations — District Ik.

"We’re very pleased with the overall effort of students...We came out higher than the past four years,” he said. Sanders presented Delton's MEAP report to the board of education Monday night. The MEAP tests, developed by the Michigan State Department of Education, are given annually to fourth, seventh and tenth graders. The statewide testing program is designed to measure minimum performance in specified areas of reading and mathematics. At Delton, the most dramatic im­ provement in test scores this year was the seventh grade math results which showed that 70.9-percent of the students achieved minimum objectives, up from 50-percent in STATE OF MICHIGAN OFFICE OF BARRY COUNTY DRAM COMMISSIONER IN THE MATTER OF Barry County Drainage District No. State Rood and Extension Castleton Township NOTICE OF MEETING OF BOARD OF DETERMINATION Notice I* Hereby Given that the Board of Determination, competed of Larry Carpenter, Veriyn Steven* and Fred Holbert, will meet on Wednesday, Nov­ ember 28th. 1984. at 2:00 p.m.. to walk the drain, meeting to follow ol 3:30 p.m. ai Catlieion Township Hall. 98 South Moln Street.

Under his direction, principals and teachers conducted what he termed a "careful analysis of the concepts and ob­ jectives of the tests." Through that study, educators determined the specific areas where Delton students were performing well and those areas where performance was poor so the curriculum could be amended accordingly. Steps were taken to insure that the curriculum covered the objectives last year's third, sixth and ninth graders would need when they were tested this year. At the beginning of this school year, he said, reviews were conducted with the students to refresh their minds with the concepts they'd been taught An effort also was made to discuss the importance of the test with students. In other business at Monday’s board meeting, additional teaching staff ap­ pointments were made to reduce class sizes due to the increase in the district’s, projected enrollment, Sanders said. The bofrd approved the re-hiring of Deb Butterfield who will teach first grade; and Paul Krajack who will teach fifth. The two, who started their new positions Tuesday, had previously been laid-off due to projected dwindling enrollment and the millage defeat in the summer. Ruth Prentice, a half-time reading teacher, was designated to teach an additional half-day in kindergarten. With the extra 2.5 staff members, kin­ dergarten class sizes will he reduced to 24students per teacher; first grade lowered to 25:1 and fifth reduced to 27:1. Sanders poted that the increase in enrollment will provide additional state aid to pay for the three teachers’ salaries, but that the additions could not have been made without the successful passage of extra operating millage because those funds are needed to pursue other educational priorities. One of those priorities, as promised during the millage campaign, is to hire a counselor to develop a career education component in the high school. The board, Monday, authorized the posting of an additional staff position for a half-time counselor and half­ time athletic director. Besides traditional counseling duties, the person selected will develop a career education component, Sanders said, adding that the position will be filled as soon as possible. Approval also was given to seek ar. em­ ployee to work 15-hours per week (three hours per day) as a food delivery carrier. That position was eliminated several years ago but will be reinstated to improve delivery of school lunches from the main kitchen in the high school to the satellite cafeterias in the middle and elementary schools. Two advisory committees are being established in the areas of communications and the gifted and talented program. San­ ders said the communications committee is comprised of himself, board members and 15 other persons who will meet for the first time at 7 p.m. Tuesday, Nov. 27. The committee's goal will be to examine communications within the schools and out in the district to determine areas that need improvement and those that should continue. The gifted and talented advisory com­ mittee will be chaired by Carolyn Nycum, assistant middle school principal, and in­ clude 10-persons who will represent parents and staff. The committee’s purpose will be to address and develop recommentations for a program philosophy, priority goals, struc­ ture, student identification, in-service training for staff, and a means of evaluating the program. Ann Lauderdale and Sue Drummond, gifted and talented consultants with the Barry Intermediate School District will be working with the committee. The committee will present a report to the board in the spring. The board has authorized an estimated $3,200 of plumbing repairs to be made in the elementary kitchen to correct an air vent problem in the drains. Sanders said the problem has existed since 1936 but went undetected until its recent discover}' by workmen during the energy conservation construction project. As a result the Barry County Health department was contacted and a state inspector has said the plumbing repairs should be made. The cost of the repairs will be taken from tlx: 1972 con­ struction and remodeling fund, not from the operating budget, Sanders said. Authorization was given by the board to obtain quotes to improve temperature control and air circulation in part of the high school. Sanders said roof top units that are supposed to control air movement and cooling are not functioning in an area that affects business education, art, drafting and home economics classes. He said the equipment has been faulty for years and efforts to resolve the problem through maintainence have been futile. A consultant has recommended removing the roof-top units and connecting the air movement and cooling systems to equipment imide the building. During a special board meeting held Nov. 5, the board adopted a revised 1984-85 operating budget, reflecting a 6.18 percent increase in expenditures over last year. (The article on that meeting was inadvertently omitted from last week's Banner). The new budget anticipates $5,285,105 in total revenues with expenditures of $4,994,068, resulting in a carryover of $291,037. Sanders said the carryover jvill be like a savings account. "It enables us to go into the next school year with cash on hand" rather than having to borrow funds in July to pay the bills. The budget was revised to adjust the estimated anticipated line-items with more accurate figures now that state aid and enrollment figures are known and actual needs have been re-assessed, such as in­ creases in class size. To ease the district’s current cash flow before 1984 taxes are collected, the board adopted a resolution authorizing a $357,500 loan to be secured from First of America at an interest rate of 7.06 percent First of America was the lowest of two bids received. The other was from Hastings City Bank at 7.23 percent. During the truth-in-taxation public hearing, required by state law prior to levying proposed additional millage, San­ ders said there were no inquiries or discussion from the audience. The board has authority to levy 31.0864 mills. He said the board will take action on the millage levy at a future meeting because it must wait until the Legislature passes an amendment to the Property Tax Law allowing schools to have a tax levy certified after the Sept. 15 deadline. (Voters in the Delton Kellogg district ap­ proved 2-additiona) mills on Oct. 8). The Legislature routinely has approved an amendment to extend the certification deadline, but this fall the State House of Representatives abruptly adjourned without taking final action on the bill.

The club had asked the council for a 10year lease so that members could spend $10,000 for the repair of the building’s leaky roof. The Elks Temple is located at 121 N. Church St. However, council Monday night voted to retain the same wording in its lease with the Elks, which runs through 1992, with a twoyear termination by either party. V. Harry Adrounie, Elks member and vicechairman of the Planning Commission, told the council that the building could be an asset to the city if allowed to stand. The city’s master plan calls for the structure's razing for a parking lot. Adrounie said he was offering "The minority view ' of the planning commission. “The minority viewpoint (on the planning commission) is that the building is struc­ turally sound, could be used by the city tor revenue, and for part of the master plan that V. Marry Adrounie calls for recreational facilities. This building could be used for part of that,” he said. “When Apple Street is put in, it will then increase in value to the city and save the taxpayers money by raising tax revenue for the city,” said Adrounie. “The only justification I hear from the majority of the planning commission was that the master plan calls for the building to be torn down," said Adrounie. "Plans should be reviewed and updated periodically, at least no longer than five years, and plans should be flexible for the changing times." Dave Jasperse, mayor pro-tem and chairman of the planning commission, said the commission did not just offer the city's master plan as the only reason for not ex­ tending the lease. However, he did not go into deatail on what the other reasons were. The Elks rent the building for $200 a month, plus property taxes, under a 15-year lease signed in 1977. A clause in the contract states either party may terminate the lease at any time, given two-years notice.

Norine Jacobs of Hastings, who heads the committee, says that churches, service organizations, schools, and other groups will still pursue their own Christmas projects as they have in the past, but with the advantage this year of having access toan “Information Center." Individuals who want to give donations will also find the service helpful. Headquarters for the Information Center will be the Campfire office, located at 101 S. Jefferson Ave. in Hastings. The center will be staffed by Sharon Varney, who is executive director of Campfire as well as a member of the Christmas Basket Coor­ dinating Committee. Plans call for persons who are involved in the Christmas basket project to keep Sharon informed of their activities so that she will be able to answer the questions that often arise when a community is working on a project of this size. Other members of the Christmas Basket Coordinating Committee are Steve Reid, executive director of Love, Inc., represen­ ting area churches; Dave Storms, YMCA director, working with schools and service organizations; Harry Burke, contact person for business and industry; Patti Jacobs, who is in charge of transportation for pickup of donated items and delivery of baskets; Mabel Boylan, who is responsible for securing a suitable location for storing and sorting food and other donated items and facilities for packing the baskets; Elsa Hatt, who is in charge of gift wrapping; and Doris Deming, who is handling publicity. Don Rewa. volunteer services supervisor for the Barry County Department of Social Services, serves as counselor for the coor­ dinating committee. A number of places have been designated for the public to take donations of new or good used toys, warm clothing, or canned food for the Christmas Baskets. Drop-off locations include: —Love, Inc., 305 S. Michigan, Hastings; open 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Monday through Friday. —Campfire office, 101 S. Jefferson, Hastings; open 8:30 a.m. to3:30 p.m. (week­ days except Thursday). —Volunteer Services office, located in the county's Department of Social Services building at 555W. Woodlawn, Hastings; open Monday through Friday. The Hastings Exchange Club also has 12drop-off stations conveniently located in cosiness places, banks and schools in Hastings and Delton.

Barry County residents invited to history book seminar tonight at 7:30 Barry County residents, present and former, are invited to attend a special seminar, Thursday, Nov. 15,7:30 p.m., to be held at the Hastings High School lecture hall. It will introduce them to the soon-to-be published Barry County History Book. The Barry County Book Committee invites everyone to this special evening of history when a special film presentation will be shown to help residents understand how they should write their family history for the Barry County History Book, which is to be published after Feb. 1. That evening, residents win have the chance to meet assigned township and city book representatives tu their area, who were introduced recently by a mailed brochure, and the public will have the chance to ask any questions they might have in writing their history of their families. At the same time, they can talk with their represen­ tatives and submit any information of history they would like to be included in the book concerning township and city histories pertaining to where they might live. Public relations director for the book, Mike Hook, says Mary Penny of the Taylor Publishing Co. of Dallas, Texas, who is publishing the county history book, will be on hand that evening to discuss in detail what the history book will contain and if residents have ideas on the book, they can share their thoughts as well. A discussion of photos, plus township and city history, which will help makeup the book, will be covered also. For families who will submit their photo for the book and who have questions about it, a representative from White’s Photography of Hastings will be on hand to answer any questions, too. Samples will be on hand of what the history book will be like. At the same time, the committee is urging families to purchase their copy of this limited edition.history book for $38 and orders can be submitted that evening at the seminar. Also, if the public wishes to submit their family history and photo, at this time, the committee welcomes that, also. There is no charge for the seminar. The book committee invites everyone to attend this event. It should be an enjoyable evening for everyone to remember the rich past history of the county and at the same time to help make the Barry County History Book project a huge success, one which each resident can take pride in knowing he or she had a part in. Senior Shari Maurer this week was selected as the Hastings High School DAR Good Citizen for the 1984-85 school year. That announcement came from Principal Robert VanderVeen on Monday. She is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Tom Maurer, of 1350 S. Charlton Park Rd., Hastings. The DAR award is presented annually by the Sophie de Marsac Campau Chapter of the National Society of the Daughters of the American Revolution. "The procedure used in the selection process is one that is recommended by the DAR," said VanderVeen. "It consists of having the entire senior class nominate at least three girls who they feel best exemplify . the qualities of good citizenship.” Those qualities, as outlined by the DAR chapter, include: being a citizen of the United States; showing dependability which includes cooperation, truthfulness, loyalty and punctuality; performing service which includes personality, self control, and the ability to assume responsibility; and exhibiting patriotism by stressing unselfish interest in family, school, community and the nation. Once the senior class selects the nominees, the high school faculty then chooses the recipient. “Shari has had an outstanding high school career and has been involved in numerous clubs and activities," said VanderVeen of the selection. She is currently cocaptain of the basketball team, president of Girls League, editor of the yearbook, class alterman on the student council, and a member of the Varsity Club, the Christian Fellowship of Athletes, Interact, Project Outreach, and CCD at St Rose Catholic Church. The Hastings senior is now eligible to enter state level competition for the Michigan DAR Good Citizen of the Year. To do so, she will fill out a questionaire with test questions on American government and her personal plans for the future. Judging will be done on those responses. She could win from $35 to $100 in bonds in the state level competition and, if she is a state winner, could win up to $1,000 in bonds in national competition. Short Maurer Is shown hero receiving her certificate from High School Principal Robert VanderVeen, naming her this year's DAR Good Citizen. Shari is a senior at Hastings and the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Tom Maurer. Hastings native wins award Former Hastings resident William A. Damson has received the W.E.

Under the auspicer of the Southwest Community Action Agency— which includes Barry, Branch, Calhoun, and St. Joseph Counties— and with the help of numerous volunteers, government surplus cheese, butter and dried milk is given out on a monthly basis to needy individuals and families who qualify under established income guidelines. In the coimty, 19,807 loaves of cheese, totaling 98,035 pounds, was distributed during that 12-month period, along with 25,439 pounds of butter and 1,890 boxes of dried milk, totaling 7,560 pounds. “That's a lot of food that has been distributed here," noted Hoare. “I don’t know if we're gettii^ it (the commodities) to where it belongs, but we're trying," she added.

According to Barry County Sheriff Department logs, 33 deer were killed by motor vehicles between the opening of deer season Thursday and Monday. Fourteen deer were reported killed on roads Thursday, the first coming about .15 minutes after deer firearm season opened at 7 a.m. “The deer are on the move," said Sgt. Gerald Smith. "The greatest movement comes during the firearms season, but drivers should be on the lookout after the season too." Smith said deer movement usually tails off when there has been a heavy snowfall.

Jones said he slammed on his brakes, but could not avoid impact. The mishap occurred about 2:50 a.m. Deputies said alcohol was involved in the accident, and Ritler was cited for operating his vehicle under the in­ fluence of liquor.

For mere on the program, see page 10. by Norma Acker Hastings schools will save $15,000 this year by not borrowing money as they did last year. Superintendent Carl A. Schoessel said that no money has been spent on interest this year because of the board's decision not to borrow money, while $92,000 was spent in interest in 1981-82 and $83,000 was spent in 1982-83. Schoessel said at Monday's meeting of the Hastings Board of Education that because of the decision the school's December financial statement will probably show a negative balance. "The board will approve payment of the bills," he said. “We just won't send the checks until we have the money.” The superintendent explained that the December state aid payment and money from the winter tax collection will start coming in during December, but may not arrive until after the board meets. “On paper, it will look like we have a negative balance, when in reality we have the money,” he continued. “We decided not to borrow so that we wouldn't have to pay interest costs out of the general fund.” Schoessel said later that the schools have been helped by collection of half of the school taxes in the summer in the city of Hastings. He said that winter tax collections usually start being received in December, with the bulk of Hie payments coming in January and February. In previous years, he noted, apparently the cash flow situation for the district caused a need to borrow large sums of money until winter tax collections and state aid payments were received. Former Superintendent Richard Guenther initiated the move to have summer tax collection in the city after state laws were changed to allow that to take place. Summer collections were made in 1983 and 1984. Schoessel also said that the school board had anticipated earning between $8,000 and $10,000 in interest money on investments during the first quarter of the fiscal year, but about $15,000 has been earned due to better investments and interest rates. At Monday's meeting, George Wibalda, Hunt begins for Charlton director by Sieve Horton The County Parks and Recreation Board, which administers Charlton Park, has begun its search for a new director to replace John Patterson, the former director who resigned in mid-October. The board has been advertising for ap­ plicants in both local and area newspapers, with an application deadline of Nov. 30. Hiring is expected to come after the first of the year. This time around the park board is seeking someone with both business administration and promotional experience, but not necessarily park or museum expertise. When hiring Patterson over a year-and-ahalf ago. the board, at that time, sought someone with managerial experience, but also placed strong emphasis on finding someone who had a background in museums and historic villages. There was also an emphasis put on finding someone who could begin operating the historic village at the park on a more regular and expanded basis. Kevin Woods, chairman of the parks and recreation board, agreed “that in a sense” the type ol director now being sought is a step back, a decision by the board to first secure a more solid financial base for the overall park before again pursuing an ex­ panded level of operations in the historic village and museum parts. Patterson, prior to his departure, told both the parks board and the county board of commissioners that continued operation of the county-owned facility and its historic village at its current level required both additional annual funding and more guaranteed sources for those revenues. "We looked at the roles a park manager has played out here," Woods said, elaborating on that decision. "Those roles include being a collections curator for the museum part, being a business manager both in terms of people and funds, and being involved in promotion and marketing. We felt that the key roles for a director ought to lx? the business end and promotion. The long­ term key to success is. yes this is a museum, but we’ve got to get people out here and we’ve got to run it efficiently. ‘We feel, once we have a director, he can hire someone later on to do the curatorial part," Woods added. "We also already have people on the staff who have expertise in putting on historical programs and handling grounds and maintenance. "Some of the feedback John gave us before his departure was, if we're going to em­ phasize entertainment (special events) and continue the recreation part, don't get someone with purely a museum background as our director.” In addition to seeking a director with business and promotional abilities, Woods said that the board is hoping to find someone from the southwestern Michigan area who is familiar with the park’s surrounding market area. No cutbacks planned Woods said that while securing adequate finances is a major concern, the parks board is not contemplating any major cutbacks in activities or operations for the coming year. He noted though that some changes were to be expected. "The beach will continue,” he said. "I know you'll see some changes in the special events line-up. Some of the financially marginal ones will be dropped and some new ones added. A strong emphasis will continue on the school program that Jan Mecoli’s started to build back up again. (However) we'll also probably cut back on the amount of time the village is open; maybe keeping it open only three days a week instead of four.” Woods added that the parks board would continue working with its business task force, comprised a several local company executive officers who have volunteered to help explore ways to "stablize external < non­ county government) sources of revenue” at the facility. “They <lhe task force) has been kicking around some ideas during the past few­ months on how to stablize revenues,” he explained "Some of those ideas may soon bear some limitation, but at this stage I don't want to put words in their mouths." Woods said that while these external sources were important, he also felt a fairly stable and substantial level of (financial) commitment from the county government was also necessary. “Similar facilities, like Charlton Park, are not self-sufficient,” he said. "We’re going to have to provide some support in order to maintain a certain level of operations. "The lesson^we learned with John's ex­ perience (as director) was that operating a living, interpretive historic village needs a more stable financial base,” he added. chairman of the board’s transportation committee, presented specifications for three new diesel buses which will be pur­ chased during this school year. Last year’s millage increase provided for the purchase of three new buses per year over a three year period. This will be the second of the three purchases. "We will consider bids on stock buses if we get a good deal." Wibalda said. Robert Miller, director of operational services, said that the diesel buses in the school’s fleet are getting 8.5 to 10.2 miles per gallon while the gasoline buses get 4.5 miles per gallon. Miller said that the three diesel buses already in the fleet are being used for all of the out of town trips. He said that the maintenance comparison costs ace not yet available, but should be at the end of this year. In other business the board approved the retirement of Merilyn Foster, a high school social studies teacher, after 314 years of service. Foster is a graduate of Hastings High School and returned to teach in Hastings in 1949 upon graduation from the University of Michigan. She also did graduate work at Michigan State University and Western Michigan University. In other business, the board: -- approved the appointments of Stephanie Girrbach as high school cheerleading coach, Randy Holley as eighth grade boys’ basketball coach and Pat Purgiel as seventh grade boys’ basketball coach. — granted tenure to band teachers Joseph LaJoye and Joan Bosserd-Schroeder. Middleville President Sullivan dies Robert W. Sullivan, longtime Middleville village president and councilmember, died Friday morning at Pennock Hospital at the age of 62. Sullivan was a mainstay in village life since 1951, since he and his family moved there from Grand Rapids. In the late fifties, he became involved in village politics, and served as president and councilmember on and off through the sixties. His last run as president began in May, 1979 when the for­ mer president. Bud Summers, died in office, and Sul Ivan was appointed to fill the vacancy. He was reelected to the job in 1980, and again in 1984. Sullivan was born in Grand Rapids, April 19, 1922, the son of Francis W. and Esther (Cryan) Sullivan. He married Patricia E. Bulhuis on May 25, 1946. He was a sergeant in World War II, and won the Army’s bronze star for action in Italy. He worked as an X-ray technician at St. Mary’s and Blodgett Medical Center in Grand Rapids, and later owned the Cryan Continue to pig# 3 Algonquin Lake geese — appointed Nancy Simpson to serve on the Barry Intermedial School District special education parent advisory committee. The board also agreed to be cooperative with citizens during further investigation of a possible Hastings Education Enrichment Foundation, which would be a tax-exempt organization to provide for items which could not or would not be supported by the general fund. Gifts accepted by the board included $2,500 in memory of Betsy Hauschiid from Clayton and Helen Hauschiid for the purchase of a portable sound amplification system to be used with musical performing groups; $2,377.66 from Parent-Teacher Organizations at Central, Northeastern and Southeastern schools for the purchase of computer equipment and software: $450 from Pleasantview's Parent-Teacher Association for the purchase of supplemental in­ structional materials: and $300 from the Hastings Knights of Columbus for the pur­ chase of supplemental instructional materials for emotiall) mentally impaired students. Following the regular meeting the board went into closed session to develop negotiation positions for the ongoing negotiations with the custodial-maintenance association. Schoessel said that there was a Nov. 12 meeting with the 28 member bargaining unit and another meeting is scheduled for Nov. 26. The contract with the group expired in June. The board will hold its next regular monthly meeting on Monday, Dec. 17 at 7:30 p.m. in the junior high vocal music room.

Residents of Algonquin Lake and other area watering holes have been deluged as of late by hundreds of Canada geese. Many will fly south as temperatures drop, and water starts to ice over. However, many more will stay on through the winter, gathering wherever the water is swift enough to prevent freezing over. The birds that stay are generally Giant Canadas, which were imported from Southeast Michigan's Kensington Park several years ago. and their numbers have increased to the point where they have become a nuisance, prompting the Dept ment of Natural Resources to extend the geese season from Dec. 22 to February. �J Poge2—The Hostings Bonner - Thursday, November 22 1984 VIEWPOINT Commentaries from our editorial staff and the community - EDITORIAL Give thanks this year by feeding the hungry As Americans sit down Thursday to enjoy bountiful Thanksgiving feasts, we should, more than ever, give thanks for our prosperity and plentiful food. News reports in the past three weeks about millions of starving people in Africa have shocked us into a startling realization of the abundance of food in our nation. As Americans, we are lucky. The combination of natural resources, technology, knowledge and hardworking farmers has given us an agricultural industry that is unrivaled in the world. A few farmers produce enough food for the more than 220 million Americans, for export to other nations and for surplus to store for the future. When families spend in excess of $30 each for a Thanksgiving meal, they do so with the knowledge that the table will be full Thursday, the next day, the next week, the next month and the next year. We do not expect Americans who are celebrating Thanksgiving to feel guilty for living in the land of plenty while so many people in Africa have nothing to eat. But, we hope that prosperity has also given us a conscience. Our suggestion is that each family forego one of their traditional Thanksgiving dishes — be it the sweet potatoes, the corn, the bread, the pie or something else — and instead send a check to the American Red Cross, which has undertaken a $5 million national drive to help the starving people in Africa. Calinda Munson, director of the Barry County Red Cross, said that the national organization has targeted 27 African and Asian nations in need of immediate aid. These nations include the 6 million starving people in Ethiopia, 4 million in Mozambique, 1 million in Mauritania and millions more in other countries. Munson said that 97 cents of every dollar received will end up in actual aid, such as food, medical supplies and personnel, tran­ sportation equipment and, most importantly, the beginning of long range food production programs for the affected areas. The Barry County Red Cross chapter's share of this $5 million is a mere $400 and some has already been collected. If each family sent just a few dollars, the cost of one side dish from Ute Thanksgiving dinner, the local chapter could send far more than its $400 com­ mitment. The Red Cross says that it takes just $48 to feed one person for one year in these nations. In effect, Barry County could feed ten people for a year. Our contributions will not solve the problem, but we can help. Checks to the African Relief Fund should be made payable to the American Red Cross and mailed to Barry County Red Cross, 116 E. State St., Hastings, Mi. 49058. You are asked to designate that your check is for African Relief. Warrant issued for suspected drug dealer by Ken Relbel The Barry County Prosecutors office issued a three-count warrant Friday for a former Barry County resident whose home was searched in an Oct. 11 drug raid on Herbert Road in Barry Township Michael Ronald Carlson, 37, formerly of 5810 Herbert Road, is charged in the warrant with manufacturer-delivery of marijuana, possession of chlorodiazepoxide (a tranquilizer), and possession of dilaudid, a narcotic. The first crime is a four-year felony, and the other two are punishable by up to two years in prison. Members of the Michigan State Police Southwest Enforcement Team (SWET) seized almost $7,000 in cash and other valuable items belonging to Carlson during the raid, plus “four or five” large plastic garbage bags of marijuana, a small amount of cocaine, and numerous firearms, ac­ cording to Lt. James Baker of the Kalamazoo SWET office. On Nov. 9. a Barry District Court judge ruled that Carlson's belongings be returned by Nov. 19 unless the prosecutors' office issue a warrant for his arrest. Arrested during that raid was Jack Dean Roe, 33, whom police say lived at the same address. He was placed on an informal probation two weeks ago, pending his sen­ tencing scheduled for next May. Carlson s attorney, Randall Levine of Kalamazoo, said police confiscated $6,840 in cash, checkbooks, tax returns, car titles, land contracts, a real estate abstract, two passports, a phone book, receipts, and other personal papers. Hastings "This is ridiculous,” said Levine. “A month has gone by without my client being charged." He called the confiscation "a ruse by the police to get into somebody's house, seize documents, and hope to find something to help them investigate.” Lt. Baker told the Banner Monday that his office submitted a request for the warrant "three or four days" after the Oct. 11 raid, and he blamed the prosecutor for "sitting on the warrant.” The Barry County Prosecutors office refuses to comment on the case.

Plaque presented to local health department by Steve Horton A special plaque will soon grace the en­ trance of the Library of Public Health History, housed in the Barry-Eaton Health Dept building. The plaque gives a brief synopsis of 'why' the library was set up and also com­ memorates the health department's 50th anniversary, held in 1981. Il reads— "The Barry County Library of Public Health History...This room has been established ta catalog and contain records, readings and artifacts pertinent to the public health, past and present. Dedicated in the name of Dr. James Stuart Pritchard. General Director. W.K. Kellogg Foundation. 1930-1940, and in recognition of all Barry Health Unit County Workers. 19311981...Established November 1981, 50th Anniversary, Barry County Health Department." Barry County Board of Commission member Jim Gordon of Middleville, who has sat on the county health board for six years and who is a cousin of Dr. James Pritchard, accepted the plaque on behalf of the health department. Reflecting on the background of both local public health efforts and the special library, Gordon said that in 1931 the county depart­ ment was begun through the Kellogg Foundation as part of what would become a multi-county project (by Kellogg) “to develop public health in rural counties In southwest Michigan". 'In 19B1," he added, "the health depart­ ment, in cooperation with the Barry County Historical Society and the Kellogg Foun­ dation. plus volunteers, pul together a threeday celebration to recognize the people and activities involved in public health in the county from the founding days through the present. "One of the processes in that celebration," he pointed out. "was to designate a small room (in the health building) to serve as a library, and quiet room, which would house various historical records and artifacts dealing with public health." Gordon, himself, took an active role in that effort, donating 10 volumes of newspaper clippings from the 1930s and 1940s about Kellogg Foundation and its public health roll. In addition, he gave the library e portrait of his cousin, Dr. Pritchard. Those clippings, he said, are currently housed in the Calhoun Health Department, which has been observing its 50 anniversary. Gordon added that Kellogg Foundation was instrumental in starting health departments in seven counties, one of which was Barry’s current partner in public health, Eaton County. Gordon asked that, if anyone has any records or artifacts pertinent to public health and wishes to place them in the memorial library, to please contact the department at 945-9516. Stepsisters sentenced to 30 days in jail Two women charged with the attempted theft of groceries from Felpaush Food Center each received 30 days in jail and oneyear probation Friday in Barry Circuit Court. The two are Connie Sue Hull, 21, of Otsego, and Cynthia Smith, 34, Grand Street, Hastings. "I’ve neven been in court and I never will be again," said Smith. “I've paid a lot for my trouble...I'm sorry." Smith’s attorney, David Tripp of Hastings, had asked Barry-Eaton Circuit Court Judge Hudson E. Deming to suspend his client’s jail term until the completion of her probation, adding that Smith has no prior arrests. "When you and your sister want to rip off someone, you do a good job of it," said Deming. “It is by such actions that other people pay for your theft, and it is theft." Hull's attorney, Kenneth G. Walters of Kalamazoo, quoted Hastings police as saying "This is not a case for jail." “There are some ramifications that the court should be aware of," said Walters. "Connie has lost a very good job, she will have a criminal record for a five-year period, and that record will impair her ability to get employment...The retribution factor has been met.” "If I follow the recommendation of your lawyer that you just walk out the door, then anybody who works in a store in this town will feel it's OK to rip off their employers,” said Deming "This was not petty thievery. It was a substantial amount you stole," he said. According to police, Smith, who worked as a checkout clerk, charged Hull $6.27 for $230.65 worth of groceries, on October 5. A store manager observed the transaction and alerted police, who questioned the two women. In addition to jail and probation, Deming assessed each woman $250 in courts costs and fines. In other court proceedings: A Dec. 10 jury trial was set for Gordon Henderson, Jr., 64, 6.’39 Island Dr., Delton, for fourth degree criminal sexual conduct. According to court information,' prosecutors allege Henderson "did engage in sexual contact with another person...using force or coercion to accomplish the sexual contact." The crime is a misdemeanor, punishable by up to two years in prison and-or a $500 fine.

LETTERS to the Editor: Solution sought To the Editor: Help needed to solve my problem: In the late 1920s and UOs, I taught school for nine years. Two of those years I had 53 pupils, beginners and grades first to eighth with long hours of hard work. I don’t think these youngsters were too badly neglected. They seemed to compare favorably with city and other rural schools. My total pay for all nine years was $7,150. For my next 40 years, my gang and I worked at the building trades. We always tried to save the customer money, and always were the last builders to raise our wages. Often we built for old people, widows, and churches. Being self-employed. 1 did not have to come under Society Security for awhile, so I am eligible for much less than most people. Please tell me how I can match my lifetime earnings to the amount that I helped pay in taxes for salaries for many others; today that are paid many thousands of dollars. Thanks. Cameron McIntyre Banner correction V. Harry Adrounie. vice chairman of the Hastings Planning Commission, was presenting the "minority view" of the planning commission when he spoke at the Nov. 13 council meeting regarding the Elks Temple. Though an Elks member, Adrounie said he was not speaking on behalf of the Elks Club, as the article in last week's Banner may have suggested. Thanksgiving holds an assortment of meanings and associations for people. There is. of course, the shared traditicns of turkev and dressing, all the side dishes like cran­ berry sauce and pumpkin pie. and going over the river and through the snow to grand­ mother's house. It also means an afternoon of football, the start of the Christmas shopping season, and (for school kids) a restudy of the first Thanksgiving with the Pilgrims and their Indian neighbors. For many people it is, more importantly, a chance to a gather with family and-or friends to share a day together and to give "thanks". We asked some people around town 'what' they enjoyed most about the holiday. Howard Ferris. Hastings— Two things I remember about it. I think of Thanksgiving dinner with the family and getting together. My folks, my grandparents, and the rest of our family years ago always got together at Thanksgiving. Our family still does. Secondly, depending on what there was to do. if there was com to husk or something, we went over there (the family member where we were going to spend Thanksgiving) in the morning and helped them with that job until noon, then we sat down to the dinner. Eileen Higbee, Vermontville— It’s one of the times of the year when we focus on family and friends and all the things we're thankful for. Also it's the last quiet time we have before the hectic weeks before Christmas. It's also a time when we especially thank God for the richness of our Claudia Erank. Carlton Center— Cooking a big meal and having the family together I Brenda Davis Rev. Michael Anton love cooking Thanksgiving dinner. Judy Brown. Hastings— Having my family home. That's the most important thing to me. Joan Foster, Hastings— Getting together and being with the family. It's also a time we all give thanks for what we have. And I like the dressing. Doris Deming. Hastings— It gives you an opportunity to concentrate on things we're really thankful for. to review the blessings that have come to us through the year. It's also a time to share these good things that come to you with family, friends, and neigh­ bors. Brenda Davis. Hastings— I guess the holiday mainly means getting together with the family. I think that's the main thing. It’s about the only time these days you can get together with your family. Rev. Michael Anton. Hastings— For me. in a personal way. it's a 'family being together' time. This is very important to me because, as a pastor, I spend a fair amount of time away from my family. This is a lime 1 treasure. However, the situation in the world, especially related to hunger, makes it more difficult to celebrate Thanksgiving with a feast. That's not to say 1 won't do it or that it's becoming hard to celebrate 1'hanksgiving But with this situation of . hunger— and not just far away but around us- I feel we need to turn it around and talk a little less about thanks' and more about giving' �i The Hostings Bonner—Thursday.

Pog,3 Neighbors, tenants encouraged to report errant homeowners him aski?8 —.. v.u,IUIIIK impvviui is“ UbKing nomeownersand landlords to fix leaky roofs. w*ring deficiencies, clean up junky yards, and resolve other problems common 10 owning a house, or face civil prosecution, under a program which encourages neigh­ bors and tenants to report such problems. The warnings will be dished out following the receiving of complaint-! filed con­ fidentially by tenants and neighbors of problem houses. Constantin Hunciag. building inspector, said he has received complaints on five properties, including a business, in the past few months. Hunciag said he guarantees the complainant confidentialitv to encourage the reporting. Once the complaint is brought to city hall, a letter is sent to the homeowner, explaining the problem, which the homeowner is given 30 days to correct. After that period, a letter is sent to the complainant, asking him if the problem has been resolved, and asking him to reply. If the problem persists, the homeowner is given another 30 days to fix up, or face a possible fine of $250. or. in extreme cases 90 days in jail. "So far. the biggest problem is junk in yards,’’ said Hunciag. A city ordinance prohibits "the outdoor storage, parking, display, accumulation or placing of material, waste, machinery, vehicles in inoperable condition, unlicensed vehicles, trucks, boats, equipment, furnishings, er the parts thereof." in any residentially-zoned lot. «"•«» screened oft in . back lol. unless screened off in a back lot. Other complaints have come from tenants complaining of leaky roofs, unsafe porches, or substandard electrical wiring. One citizen complained of a neighboring house which contained "too many tenants in too small of a house", listing the tenants as "two adults, four children, three dogs, two cals and a bird.” “Progress has been slow. But I can foal that already some Im­ provements have been made."— City building Inspector The handling of such complaints is only part of Hunciags' job. He was hired last spring to enforce lhe city’s 1982 rental housing ordinance designed to "set minimal standards for safe, sanitary, and secure dwellings." "The result will assure us that the com­ munity will have a longer life and our surroundings will be more attractive," said Hunciag. Hunciag esli mates thatthereare 800 rental units in the city. So far, he has inspected 31 units. He estimates 50 of the 800 units are “problem dwellings." The inspections follow the registration of the property by landlords. So far, all but three of the residential landlords have signed up since Hunciag began tracking down owners last summer. Coupon————— REWARD!

I think that next spring things will really start moving " With more than 750 units to inspect. Hunciag iaces an uphill battle. Problems include landlords’ non-compliance with repair orders, and tenants who do not cooperate in setting up an inspection ap­ pointment. “1 keep sending letters, but people do not answer me," said Hunciag. "This is a very big problem." Still another obstacle to 100-percent compliance with the rental bousing or­ dinance is tracking down owners of lhe many apartments tucked away in commercial properties. "It will take a lot of time to find these landlords. I’m star Ung by checking water bills, and the city directory." Failure to comply with registration could result m a fine of $100 or 90 days in jail. Once a landlord fills out the registration form, he is issued an "interim" certificate, which allows him to operate the property as a rental unit until an inspection is made. Registration is free.

So intense was this love affair that it ha-* been called "ferromania". Hundreds of cast-iron buildings were erected in large cities all over the nation. Serious fires revealed that, while cast-iron wouldn't burn, it would crumble under intense heat. So iron was abandoned for buildings, but the Victorian home held a wide variety of cast-iron articles, including the "iron lace" found on the rooftops of Victorian mansions or on fences or balconies from Louisiana to Michigan. Cast-iron jockey hitching posts, weighing 200 pounds or more, were common. Massive iron door knockers — with a large ring in the mouth of a gargoyle or lion and huge iron door stops, sometimes called door porters — were made in replicas of Punch and .Judy, Egyptian heads with wreaths and leaves, bells or lions. Ornamental cast-iron was used for garden furniture, urns, fountains or bird baths. It was also found in terraces, railings, balconies and trellises, the more elaborately decorated the better. Cast-iron articles were found in practically every room in the house. Handsome fire backs protected the brick at the back of a fireplace, but they also acted as radiators to throw the heat out into a room. Once a thick slab of iron was really hot, it held the heat for a long time even when the fire had died out. Fireplace accessories, such as fire dogs, andirons, buckets and shovels were often of cast-iron, elaborately decorated with faces, figures, initials, and leaves in grape or vine patterns. Victorian cast-iron furniture in the form of folding chairs, school desks, railroad train seats, theater seats and even hospital beds were mass produced and decorated in iron foundries. Cast-iron toys, especially trains, fire engines, early miniature automobiles or any toy with moving parts, is very much desired by dealers and collectors today. Children's toy banks — mechanical and still varieties — are of cast-iron and very collectible. Prices of the mechanical type have risen tremendously of late with the result that many collectors have resorted to collecting the iron still­ bank. While not so interesting as the mechanical type, they are less costly and more available. In the kitchen, such utensils as iron pots and pans, waffle irons, nut­ crackers, apple and cherry pacers, coffee grinders, iron tea kettles and a host of other articles were of cast-iron. Such gadgets as match safes, string holders, trivets, sad-iron stands, and ornate filigree picture frames were al) of Iron, as were same clocks. Tuesday was invariably ironing day in our Grandmother's weekly calendar, and what a chore it was! The variety of articles to be ironed was tackled with an equal variety of irons suited for special purposes. There was no such thing as "wash and wear" materials then and every article of clothing needed to be ironed to take out the wrinkles. Flatwork such as towels, han­ dkerchiefs, napkins, etc., required a pressing iron made of cast-iron with a cast-iron handle and hundreds of tiny indentations on the sole of the iron for added pressure. This iron was heated on the stove top and required a cloth pad or an asbestos glove to protect the •roner's hand. Ruffles on a dress or shirt front were ironed with a fluting iron which was heated by charcoal cores and fastened to a table or countertop. The material to be ironed passed over the corrugated rollers. Puffy sleeves or tucks were smoothed with a cast-iron sleeve iron having a pointed end. Other early irons burned kerosene or gas and were heavy and awkward to use. A tailor's goose (iron) was made of a solid chunk of iron and was used in a laundry. It usually weighed 16 to 22 pounds) up to as much as 60 lbs.J allowing the pressure of the iron to do the work. Early irons bore no marks, dates, weights, or names of manufacturer, but later models had all this identifying information. The term "sad" iron was derived from the early usage of the word meaning "solid" or "heavy". Sad-irons were improved with in­ ventions by Mary F. Potts of Ottumba, Iowa. She was the inventor of the double-pointed iron and the circular, detachable handle made of wood. Her patents dale as early as 1870. Mrs. Potts’ irons were usually sold in sets of three with one handle per set. The handle fit easily and snugly into holes in the irons. A complete set of three irons, a detachable handle, and a stand sold for 78 cents in a 1908 SearsRoebuck catalog. Cone-shaped iron heaters with open sides were designed to hold three irons and heat them simultaneously over an open flame or range. Thus, while one iron was being used, the others were always waiting, ready for use. These holder-heaters retailed for 22 cents. Children's toy irons were invented for ironing doll clothes. However, they were also used by travelers for ironing laces, ribbons, and the like. Toy irons were generally four inches or less in length. Some have their own miniature stands that are made of glass, wood, gold or silver. Just as using the correct iron was important, so was the proper care for them. Because clothes were so heavily starched in the Victorian era, some of the raw or partially cooked starch would rub off on the iron, making it sticky and difficult to manipulate. A small piece of very fine sandpaper tacked to the end of an ironing board was used to remove the sticking starch and keep the sole of the iron smooth. After waxed paper was invented, it was used for the same purpose. Some women placed a piece of paraffin or beeswax in a small bag and ran this over the bottom of the iron. In communities where bayberries grew, it was the custom to add a few sprigs of bayberry leaves to the paraffin bag to give a pleasant scent to the ironed clothes. When their work was finished, the irons were rubbed with sweet oil or kerosene and washed in hot, soapy water to prevent rusting. Often wrapped in asbestos and stored in the warming oven of the range, irons were kept dry and clean, always ready for use. Iron stands, called trivets, also were produced by iron manufacturers. Made of cast-iron, many intricate designs such as flowers, fruit, and patriotic motifs were used. Ironing was hard work in the early 19th and 20th centuries, but today those same tools are delightful collectibles. Toy irons generally are of greater value to collectors than full sized sad-irons. Prices are high for these miniatures. Beware of clever reproductions.

I sxxscsrx ^37 G. F. Chidester Loading Clothier A Thanksgiving advertisement that appeared on Nov. 21. 1907. Thanksgiving Day, Nov. 26, 1857, wasn’t the celebration we observe now. The Republican Banner carried this short notice on Thanksgiving Day “Nineteen States of the Union have appointed Thursday the 26th of November as a day of Thanksgiving." The paper carried no ads featuring turkey, or Pilgrams or family gatherings. No announcement of school programs, or store closings. Not even a mention of a football game or a parade. It was business as usual with all the businesses and factories open and operating. The community did have snow, starting on the 19th and continuing to the 23rd when the snow fall was estimated to be nearly 18 inches deep. The Banner reported “Sleighing is good and the streets present an unusually lively appearance." The paper con­ tinued, "such a depth of snow at this season of the year, we believe is unprecendented in this climate." A longer article, explaining what did happen on Thanksgiving Day, appeared the next week. Apparently the paper was late because the article starts with, "The delay occurred in this way. The editor left to join his friends in the celebration of a real Yankee Thanksgiving in another county and the boys, forgetting the old maxium, played first and finished their work afterwards. Some very serious errors have their apology in the above stated facts". Thanksgiving *as not a declared national holiday until President Lincoln proclaimed the last Thursday in November of 1863 as “a day of thanksgiving and praise to our beneficent Father”. Ten years later, in 1867, the celebration of Thanksgiving began to bear some resemblance to our present-day celebration The only announcement in the paper was on Nov. 20, 1867, "Thanksgiving - Appropriate services on Thanksgiving Day will be held in the Methodist Church. A discourse will be preached by Rev. W.S. Messmer." The following issued of the paper carried this proclamation by the Governor of Michigan, Henry H. Crapo, who called upon "The people of the State to observe the day, both in the public exercise of our churches and in the festivities of family reunions, with manifestation of our sincere thank­ fulness for the great and unumbered gifts which our Heavenly Father has showered upon us ..." By 1907 the Thanksgiving celebration reflected the present-day observance. One drug store ad in the paper of Nov. 21, 1907, asked "Are You Ready for Thanksgiving?" and advertised spices, candy and post cards for the occasion. Another ad featured turkeys and a farm scene in connection with the selling of clothes. A farm article gave some valuable suggestions on the car of turkeys, by telling how to feed and care for the live bird. Nov. 18 of the same year carried an article written by the schools, it said "Thanksgiving vacation - What happy words are these to the High School teachers and scholars is the vision of family gatherings, parties, sumptious dinners and championship football games .." The article was not referring to professional football games, but to a contest between Hastings and Freeport High Schools A Thanksgiving Proclamation was run in an ad by J.T. Pierson & Sons. It said in part "... the 28th day of November as a day of general Thanksgiving and prayer and on that day I recommend that the people shall cease from their daily work, and in their homes or in their churches meet devoutly to thank the Almighty for the many blessings they have received in the past..." The proclamation was signed by the President of the Uni ted States Theodore Roosevelt. During the Great Depression, in 1938, President Franklin Roosevelt set the date of Thanksgiving a week earlier on the fourth of November to assist the businessmen by lengthing the shopping days before Christmas, thereby con­ necting it to the Christmas season. Television, popular in the 1940s and 1950’s, acquainted the viewer with Macy’s, Hudson's and other Thanksgiving Day parades, ushering in Christmas. This was also the period when professional football was in­ troduced into the family festivities, via the television screen, and Thanksgiving Day became the day as we now know it.

Silly question. For starters, how about an offensive backfield that ran over, around and through defenders for 3,483 yards while accounting for 45 touchdowns? Then move on to an offensive line which features two all-ieaguers. a repeater from the 1983 all-county team, and enough beef (the line averages 198 pounds) to stock Wendy’s commercials for six months. The defense isn’t exactly a collection of broken tinker toys, either. Start with a defensive secondary trio which swiped 16 passes and toss in a four-man linebacking crew which crushed more opponents than JR Ewing'., best planned oil deal. Then there’s the all-county defensive line, where three of the four occupants are two- time all-leaguers. Experience? The team is no place for underclassmen. Of the 23 youngsters named lo the team, 15 are seniors. All in all, Hastings placed 7 men on the 23man team, Delton 5, Maple Valley and Middleville 4 each and Lakewood 3. The offensive backfield consists of quar­ terback Jerry Steele (Middleville), tailbacks Bill Barker (Lakewood). Gary Reid (Maple Val’jy), and Wayne Bourdo (Delton), and fullback Dave Kensington (Hastings). The end is Ryan Trowbridge (Maple Valley) while the linemen are Chug Maurer < Maple Valley). Brian Friddle (Lakewood), Jon Douglas (Hastings), Ron Bloomberg (Delton) and Jay Porteous (Middleville). The defense is headed by backs Steve Tuin (Delton), Mike Karpinski (Hastings) and Mike Newhouse (Middleville), linebackers Tim Hubert (Hastings). Jeff Neeley (Delton) and Mike Wiley (Middleville), noseguard Lyle Gross (Hastings), and linemen Pat Ressiguie Maple Valley). Paul Turnes <Hastings), Kyle Aukerman <Delton> and Bruce Daggett <Lakewood) The strength of the team probaby rests in the offensive backfield. For instance, there is Lakewood s Barker who rushed for 1,138 yards and 13 touchdowns and caught 13 passes for 173 more yards. The 5-9.170-pound junior, who rushed 'or 900-plus yards as a sophomore, accounted for some 1,450 all­ purpose yards including punt and kickoff return yardage. Joining Barker in the backfield is Delton's Bourdo. who rushed for 762 yards and 5 touchdowns. He also caught 14 passes for 149 yards and returned punts for 146 additional yards. Both Barker and Bourdo are repeaters from the 1983 all-county learn. Maple Valley’s Reid and Hastings' Ken­ sington also enjoyed fine years in 1984. Reid, hampered by injuries, still gained 720 yards in only 94 carries for an exceptional 7.6 county as Tuin was also member of both the 1983 all-county football and basketball teams and is one of Delton’s top trackmen in the spring This fall the Delton tri-captain, a threeyear starter, intercepted 9 passes lo bring his career total to 20. He also was in on 87 tackles to push his career total to over 300. As a first-year quarterback. Tuin rushed for G9i yards and scored 6 touchdowns. Tuin wasn’t the only defensive back named to the all-county team who is a fine allaround athlete. Hastings' Karpinski, who could possibly make both the Saxon varsity basketba.l and baseball teams as a sophomore, began the year as the team’s quarterback before an mowing accident limited his playing time to defense As a safety. Karpinski picked off 6 passes while accounting for 43 tackles and assists. The team's third defensive back, Mid­ dleville’s Newhouse, had 84 tackles and assists and an interception this fall. Newhouse is a four-year letterman and a two-year starter as defensive back. The all-county team’s linebacking crew is exceptional. Hastings’ Hubert, a second team all-Twin Valley performer; and Gross, a first-team all-Twin Valley noseguard, accounted for 116 and 94 tackles respec­ tively.

On defense Reid intercepted 7 passes — returning one 87-yards for a touchdown — recovered 2 fumbles, and made 20 tackles. Southern Michigan Athletic Association coaches voted Reid lo the all-league team this year despite having the 5-10, 162-pound senior pile up the majority of his statistics in a mere four games.

The senior guard, a repeater from the 1983 all-county team, headed an outstanding Viking line which was largely responsible for the 1.684 yards churned up by Lakewood running backs. Friddle is a two-year starter and Viking co­ captain and was the team's leading tackler on defense. Maple Valley's Chug Maurer, one of the top players in the entire SMAA. was a twotime all-league pick at tackle. The Lions’ run-oriented offense was geared mainly to the talents of Maurer, who also was Maple Valley s leading tackler on defense with 75 solos and assists.

City eyes Jan. 1 well hookup City residents should be hooked into a new well by January 1, the city council heard Monday night. The new well house, located on land located north of Tyden Park, is already completed, and connected by a watermain that crosses the Thornapple River. The well was drilled at a cost of $297,000. of which $147,000 was covered by state monies available through the Small Cities Grant program Mike Klovanich. Hastings director of public works, said all the connections have been made, and all that is left to be done is some testing of the lines. f / /)& Community Fund Drive nears goal The Hastings Area Community Fund Drive moved closer to its goal of collecting $116,236 this year with this week's contribution from the Public Agencies Division. That group — headed by Wade Nitz of Pennock Hospital — was the latest division to surpass its proscribed goal. Various public agencies from the area raised $8,716, well above the goal of $8,000. The school and residential divisions also topped their goals earlier. Drive chairman Norine Jacobs said that the United Way campaign has now reached about $111,000, or 95 percent of its total goal. "We will now be completing our contacts with area retailers during the next 10 days," she said. "That will wrap up this year's campaign and should put us over the top." Representatives from the public Agencies Division, shown here at the Commun­ ity Fund Drive thermometer, are (from left) Wade Nitz of Pennock Hospital. Rose Danuloff of Pennock Hospital.

Bliss pushes for import relief by Ken Reibel Claiming that national security is at stake, the National Machine Tool Builders Association (NMTBA), of which E.W. Bliss is a member, is pushing a petition that would temporarily grant import relief to the in­ dustry, currently beleaguered by foreign competitors. Bliss management is encouraging em­ ployees to write U.S. Senators, Congressmen, and the President, to act on the request. Machine tools — machines that make machines — are used to shape most metal parts, ranging from engine blocks to oil-well bits. U.S. manufacturers of countless products depend on machine tool makers to supply equipment that, they hope, will give them a competitive edge in world markets. The petition, filed IB months ago with the United States Department of Commerce, argues that if the industry is permitted to wither into a small, ineffectual industry, forcing the U.S. to obtain its machine tools iprincipally from overseas suppliers, the national security of the United States will be in jeopardy. The NMTBA is seeking quotas on imports that would limit foreign producers to 17.5 percent of the U.S. market for the next five years. The petition has been sitting on President Reagan's desk since March. Jan Mullet, personal administrator for E.W. Bliss, said the national security argument is valid. "If America were to quit building machine tools, we would have to buy them from Japan. Now suppose we get into a war, and need to build weapons, what are we going to build them on?" asked Mullet. “If you have to order them from Japan, and wait for Japan to ship them, and presuming the shipping lanes through the Pacific are open, and presuming that Japan is willing to sell them to us, well, you’ll have to wait for all that to get worked out before you can defend yourself." Mullett said Bliss keeps track of its competitors, and that usually means foreign producers. "If we don't get an order, our salespersons ask Well, who did you buy it from and why?’...Quite often, the response is ’We didn’t buy the Bliss press, we bought one from Aida, or Komatsu, or whatever, because the price was lower.' "The labor market in Japan, and the unrestricted imports here, means that the American worker, at the lowest possible price we can negotiate* and as much cost as we can cut out of it, is still making more money than his Japanese counterpart,” said Mullett. The petition has the spoken support of Michigan’s two U.S. senators, Carl Levin and Donald Rieglc, though the NMTBA's request is not legislative in nature. Another supporter of the petition is Congressman Howard Wolpe, D-Delta Township. "Machine tools are essential to the maintenance of any industry," said Wolpe. "And there is evidence of targeting of this industry in the U.S. by foreign competitors, paticularly the Japanese." Wolpe said he supports the petition for import relief, which he said will probably be linked to "some modernization of the American machine tool industry." The congressman points to the import relief proposed through congress for the domestic steel industry, and said "Tha‘ kind of mode> could be applied." Presently, the U.S. steel industry relies on voluntary trade restraints by foriegn steel exporters. However, a bill now in the U.S. Congress would restrict import tonnage to 15 to 20 percent of the domestic market, with the provision that part of the profits relized by domestic producers be spent on moder­ nization of the industry. Wolpe said the Japanese will resist anything that limits their access to the U.S. market, and he said this makes negotiations with the Japanese all the more important. "The U.S. hasn't been too effective in our Continued on page 4 Put Christ back into Christmas Nation hails first parade by Ken Reibel Though the theme of Saturday's parade is “The Spirit of Christmas”, nothing could compare to the city’s first Christmas parade, held 30 years ago. It was on that Saturday night, not so long ago, that the city dimmed its lights, spurned commercialism, and watched as the town’s 14 churches told the nativity story’ with floats and song Advanced publicity drew upwards of 20,000 spectators to ‘he downtown area, and news services flashed Hastings' message tc the nation. Today, it is remembered by some as "The parade that got in Life Magazine." Indeed, newspapers in the U.S. and Canada hailed our pageant, and the un­ selfishness of the city’s merchants in news stories and editorials. "U.S. Town hangs out ‘Santa Unwanted’ sign", read one headline. Others proclaimed “Town Puts Christ Back in Christmas," and "Michigan City Tries Religious Christmas." A Salt Lake City broadcaster told listeners "Tomorrow night, Dec. 11, the people of Hastings will witness the turn-off of their gaudy Christmas lights. They will put away all the paper Santa Clauses, and forget how many shopping days remain until Christmas. Instead, everyone will try to remember Bethlehem...the gospel according to St Luke ..an old, old message of Peace on Earth, good will toward men...” The desire of Americans to turn their thoughts more to the birth of Christ, and its meaning to the world, was also reflected in the dozens of letters received by the Banner, and Hastings residents received in their Christmas cards clippings from other newspapers, telling of the event. Some heard from friends for the first time in many months, after they had seen the story of their "home town" in '.heir own periodicals. The Tulsa Tribune, the Victory (British Columbia) Daily Tribune, and hundreds of other papers headlined Hastings' story on their front pages. Mrs. Amelia Goodyear Hull wrote of being thrilled to read a: out the pageant in the New York Times. Robert Q. Lewis, a well-known CBS Continued on page 19 School hires negotiator for contract . by Robert J. Johnston For the second time in three years. Kevin Harty will be working for the Hastings Board of Education to negotiate a contract with an employee group. Wednesday, the school board hired Harly. an attorney with the Lansing firm of Thrun. Maatsch and Nordberg. P.C., to serve as negotiator in bargaining with the CustodialMaintenance Association. Harty served as negotiator for the board when it signed a contract with the Hastings Education Association in 1981 At that time he was employed with the Michigan Association of School Boards. "After the board reviewed the proposals submitted by the Custodial-Maintenance Association the board determined that they wanted a professional negotiator to represent it." Superintendent Carl A. Scheessel said. The contract with the 28-member bargaining unit expired on June 30. The board received a request from the employees to start negotiations on Nov. 2 and the first bargaining session was held on Nov. 12. when the employee group submitted its proposals. A second meeting was held on Nov. 27 and another session is scheduled for Dec. 4. The custodians are being represented in Judge rules search is illegal, drug charges are dismissed Charges of drug delivery and possession were dismissed Monday against a former Delton resident, after a judge ruled that his home was illegally searched by police The dismissal came at the request of the prosecution during a preliminary exam lor Michael Ronald Carlson. 37. formerly of 5810 Herbert Rd.

In July. 22 members of the employees group voted to drop their affiliation with the American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees, an AFL-CJO union. Wallace Benner, president of the CustodialMaintenance Association, said that of the 22 members voting, all cast ballots in favor of the change. The employees joined the Michigan Educational Support Personnel Association (MESPA), a group affiliated with the Michigan and National Education Associations. "We weren’t getting too much represen­ tation from the other unit,” Benner said. "We figured that we would get better ser­ vice.’ Benner said that the delay in opening negotiations was caused by the change in unions and the need to revise the entire contract. "It took a considerable amount of lime to reorganize and to get things straightened out." he said. Benner added that the em­ ployees had help from the MEA in revising their contract proposal. Benner said that he could not comment on the changes requested in the contract, but did say that no progress had yet been made in negotiations. "We have an entirely new proposal governing an entire contract," he said The First Baptist Church led off the first Christmas parade (top), which involved all 14 of Hastings' churches. The float, "Christ the Foundation'', was built by the Rev. Ronald Houseman, a builder and contractor in his own right. Below.

November 29. 1984 VIEWPOINT: Commentaries from our editorial staff and the community - EDITORIAL About your Hastings Banner Be forewarned. This is an advertisement. In fact, this entire issue of the Hastings Banner is an advertisement for the Hastings Banner In addition to our regular subscribers, we have sent a sample copy of this issue to all of the homes and businesses in the Hastings area. (Subscribers please note that you normally receive up to three weeks of free issues with one year subscriptions, so you didn’t miss out on a freebie.) Our regular readers know that the average Banner is not this large, usually running ten to 14 pages. But, the mix of news contained in this issue is typical of our paper, covering a range of topics for our wide variety of readers. Sending a sample issue to non-subscribers is necessary to show you the substantial changes that have been made in the Banner since September 1981. These changes have helped us to attract more regular readership — paid circulation is up nearly 1,000 per issue over the three year period. There is no need to review what has been done to the Banner to make it more desirable to readers, but we would like your comments on this edition or any others. The best way we can develop the paper to suit the community is to hear from our readers. We have made im­ provements and we have made mistakes (corrected we hope), and our best judges are our readers. Admittedly, our first priority is selling more newspapers. But, we also see The Hastings Banner as playing several important roles in this community. The first is to convey the news. There is no place else that the news of Hastings and Barry County is compiled. The Banner, each week, creates a continuing history of our community. The second vital role is to stimulate discussion of important issues in the community and to help communicate the thoughts and feelings of the people to our civic and government leaders. Typically, this column is devoted to an analysis of a local issue. We don't expect you to always agree with us, but we hope our ideas stimulate thought and discussion. In this regard, we would like to hear from you more often. News stories that seem to us to raise significant or controversial questions often generate no response from the people. For example, not one person has called or written a letter about a recent front page article that dealt with the local formation of an anti-nuclear arms group. Members of the group plan to participate in protests against weapons manufacturers. Obviously, nuclear arms have both opponents and proponents, but nobody has called or written in this regard. . ,■ This week's paper carries several articles which touch on topidi for discussion. One is an article about an accident where it is believed-thattwo lives were saved because of seat belts. Mandatory seat belt use is being debated in the state legislature. Are you for it or against it? Another article tells of E.W. Bliss Company's effort to reduce foreign competition by having import quotas on machine tools. The future of E.W. Bliss is important to Hastings. The future of the machine tool industry, little known to theaverage person, is important to the nation. This is not a national issue, but a local one. What do you think about this type of government interference in foreign trade? The ideas of people in Barry County are important, not only to us but to government leaders elsewhere, who see us as a typical middle­ class, rural community. How we think can influence government policy in many ways. But leaders can’t know how we think if nobody is talking. In any case, we hope you enjoy this sample issue of The Hastings Banner. And we also hope you enjoy the Christmas festivities in Hastings this weekend, which serve as a base for this issue. Complete stories about the events are contained in a special section. Delton board sets millage levy at 31.0864 After awaiting passage of special legislation, the Delton Kellogg Board of Education held a special meeting Monday. Nov. 19 to set its 1984 millage levy at 34.7564mills. This year’s millage represents an increase of 1.5864-mills over 1983 s 33.17-mills levy, said Assistant Superintendent Dean McBeth. Ever hough voters approved two ad­ ditional mills in October, he said, the board only levied a total increase of 1.5864 mills because it was possible to reduce the the debt retirement levy from 4.07 mills to 3.67-mills because of an increase in the district’s State Equalized Valuation (SEV). Besides the 3.67 debt levy, the total 1984 millage rate includes 31,0864 mills for operations <23.1 extra voted mills and 7.9864 allocated mills from the county). The school is allocated eight mills from the county, but that amount was rolled back under the provisions of the Headlee lax limitation amendment which limits such properly taxes to the rale of inflation The Hastings bciialt! approved an amendment to Section 36.2 of the General Property Tax Act before it could certify its millage rate for collection this year because the Sept. 15 deadline oc­ curred prior to the date when Delton voters, approved two-additional millages. Millage proposals, representing a renewal and increase, were defeated twice this past summer before Delton voters approved operating millage on Oct. 8. The enabling legislation was approved and signed by Governor Blanchard two weeks ago and permits schools holding millage elections after Sept. 15 to have the rates certified for collection in the current school year. The bill applies retroactively to districts which have already held and won voter approval for millage rates. Without the special ammendment. stale law prohibits certifying millages for collection if elections are held after Sept. 15. However, every year the Legislature has routinely adopted the extension for districts which have lost earlier ............... millage proposals Banner ---------- ----------- Send lorm P.S, 3579 to P.O.

Police say seatbelts saved lives by Ken Reibel Stale police credit seat belts for saving the lives of two Hastings men Wednesday, after their vehicle left a curve on Norris Road and smacked into a tree. The car. a Chevro et Cavalier, is totalled — a deep, half-moon dent in the grill contains bits of tree bark, grass and mud, revealing the force of the impact. The occupants of the car are identified as Randall Beduhn. 32, Buehler Road, and John Bell. 35. S. Market Street. Each man escaped with bruised hips, cut lips and. in Bell’s case, a fractured collarbone, from being thrown against the shoulder restraint Lt. Richard Zimmerman of the Hastings State Police team calls the injuries “a trade off." "They were lucky they were wearing seal belts." he said. "If they weren’t, there wbuld lx? a strong possibility of a double fatality that night." According to police reports, the two were northbound on Norris Road, near Mullen Road, about 9 p.m. when Beduhn's car failed to negotiate a curve, left the road, and struck a tree. The driver reportedly told troopers he and his passenger were talking, and failed to take the curve. Troopers said Beduhn locked his brakes, leaving a 72-foot skidmark, then travelled another 48 feet off the road before hitting the tree. Write us a letter!

He cited Commerce Department data that shows that two-thirds of the numerically controlled data lathes, and three-quarters of the machining centers installed this year came from overseas. Without an adequate domestic machine tool industry, America's ability to mobilize for a long-term conventional conflict could be severely compromised, and the deterrent effect of the country's industrial base would be placed in serious doubt," said Pollock.

Germany, because they have been adapting some of the techniques that were developed in this country to machine tools al a faster rate than we have." said Kenig. "There are a lot of reasons for this. It has to do with national consensus, particularly in Japan, that they were able to arrive at to identify target areas where they were making an effort to achieve excellence in. We didn't do that." said Kenig. "We continued to operate on the free en­ terprise system. Japan has put up protective barriers against both foriegn ownership of companies, and imports into their country. We have not done that." So far this year, imported machines have seized 42 percent of the U.S. machine-tool market, up from 13 percent a decade ago. according toNMTBA statistics. In August of this year, the organization announced that imports have increased nearly one-third from 1983 levels alone, based on dollar value of products produced. "In the high technology areas of numerically. controlled turning machines and machining centers, the heart of the factory of the future, import penetration has been devestaling," said CliarJes Pollock.

Bliss seeks relief... negotiations in the past." said Wolpe, and he said a "rethinking and restructuring" of our trade policy with the Japanese is in order, with regards to the machine tool industry. A press release from Bliss states that in July of this year, the company lost three orders for important machine tools to Japanese competitors. In two of the orders, the Japanese company undercut Bliss's price by 50 percent, and in the other order, by 20 percent. Mullett said the Japanese are building good quality machine tools. "You can't fault the guy who buys a press, and say he’s just buying junk that's only going to run for a year. "Some of those Japanese products are good quality items. They can build them cheap enough in Japan, ship them 5,000 miles, and still sell them to the American consumer for less price than we can sell them for." said Mullett. Professor Jerry Kenig, chairman of the engineering department at Western Michigan University in Kalamazoo, said foreign competitors have been using American machining techniques against this country.

November 29, 1984 what’s cookin ntiquei Aud’s Antics by Elaine Gilbert This week featuring Protection of your valuables is essential Rev. & Mrs. Wayne Smith Life in Hastings agrees with the Rev. and Mrs Wayne Smith who have been residents here since September of 1983 when he liecame the priest at the Emmanuel Episcopal Church. "We came from iLubbock) one of the biggest towns in west Texas," Wayne said. “We like Hastings a lot." said his wife. Debbie. "It’s just right.” The couple say they enjoy living in a small lown and like the fact that it is located near three larger cities which also have much to offer. Both are native* of Texas and graduated from Baylor University. Wayne also earned a master s degree from Baylor and received a master of divinity degree from Nashotah House near Milwaukee. He was ordained in 1981. Debbie earned her master's degree at Marquette University in Milwaukee and is currently pursuing doctoral studies at Michigan Stale University where she also teaches a writing course for sophomores. Since moving to Hastings. Debbie has joined the local chapter of the American Association of University Women. With both maintaining busy schedules. Debbie says her husband is helpful in caring tor their five-month old son. Austin, besides helping with the household duties when she's at school. She adds that she doesn't plan to teach the next quarter to lighten her schedule which is Ixisier than she likes it to be. In their spare time, the couple enjoy cross country ski ting and playing Scrabble. Both spend a lot ot time reading too. She also When it coines to cooking, Debbie says Wayne does most of it. “I like to cook, but not (lay-in. day-out.” she adds. Wayne says he enjoys the "advenluresome” aspects of cooking and finds it therapulic. "I think men are freer to be creative (in the kitchen) since it's not assumed that that they'll take on the duties." As a beginning cook, he dabbled in baking bread and making yogut. Now his favorite recipe to prepare is beef burgundy when quests are coining to dinner. One of their favorite meals together is a vegetarian Indi in meal. Debbie adds that hot dogs and hamburger are regularly part of their menus loo. "We're really cookbook cooks." says Debbie. Their cookbooks range from one by Julia Childs to a collection of recipes published by the Mennonile Central Com­ mittee. Entitled '•More With Less,” the Mennonite cookbook is “worn thin," says Wayne. It has recipes that are geared toward conserving resources and the plight of the hungry while at the same time offering ways to prepare “good things to eat," he said. The recipe the Smiths share this week is one that Debbie prepares. Called “Salsa Fria,” the recipe can be served as a dip with celery or Doritos or served as a side-dish with a meal of scrambled eggs, pinto beans and tortillas. It's also good on tacos. Salsa Fria is frequently served for every meal of the day in Mexico, said the couple, adding that they enjoyed it with their meals while visiting that country. The interesting ingredient in Salsa Fria is cilantro, said the Smiths. “It’s subtle, but you can taste it," said Wayne. Cilantro, the parsleylike leaves of coriander, is available in local stores and is also known as Chinese parsley. Safsa Fria recipe — Ingredients: 1-large can solid-pack tomatoes, 1-onion, finely chopped; 1-can peeled green chilies, chopped, 1-teaspoon cilantro, 1-clove garlic, chopped with lteaspoon salt; l-teaspoon crushed oregano, 2-Tablespoons wine vinegar, 1 Tablespoon olive oil, salt and pepper to taste. Pour tomatoes into mixing bowl and chop fine. Add remaining ingredients and stir well. Serve cold. The Rev. and Mrs. Wayne Smith cook together occasionally, but on the average she says he does most of the cooking. One meal they hove quite often has a Mex­ ican flair. She mokes Salsa Fria which will be served with tortillas, scrambled eggs, and pinto beans which he prepares.

November 29. 1984. Page 7 From Time to Time Woodland News by...Esther Walton 1910 Banner tells of 81 -year-old hunter A story in the 1910 Banner tells of a hunter, aged Hl. who hac killed deer since he was 14. The man. Cornelius Mason, was the son-in-law of Leonard Slater. Indian missionary. At the time of the article. Mr Mason lived on a farm in Richland Township, just over the line from Barry County. "Mr. Mason." according to the ar­ ticle. "in addition to being a prominent farmer, has a wide reputation as a hunter Since he was 14 years old, Mr. Mason has killed a deer every year with the exception of two. Last fall he made his annual hunting trip to the northern peninsula, shot one deer and walked 17 miles on the last day he was in the woods. He is a man of remarkable vitality and does not show his age." “Mr. Mason is one of the few living persons who remembers anything about the Slater Mission in Prairieville and the Indians who were there. Mr. Mason married the second daughter of Mr. Slater, and he talks about the early days... Cornelius Mason was bom on September 29.1829, in Litchfield. Conn., and accompanied his parents to the Michigan wilderness when he was three years old. A short distance from their land was the tract occupied by the Ottawa Indians at Slater Mission. There were about 50 families of them occupying log huts, extending from a spot near Cressey station eastward about one mile to where the mission and Slater’s home stood. Mr. Mason associated with the red men and learned their language and methods of hunting. He was also intimately acquainted with the Slaters. Mr. Mason began life for himself as a young man with 30 acres of land, which he. himself, cleared. He now owns 200 acres. In the western part of Orangeville Township and extending into Allegan County was Cun Marsh, a stretch of common land from which the first settlers came long distances for their hay. There was also good hunting there, deer and turkey being very plentiful. Both Indian and white men hunted there It was the custom to sit on the run ways and watch for deer or to sit in a tree and wait for them. One winter day. Mr. Mason heard several shots in the woods near the outlet of Gun Lake. Making his way lo the river, he saw a deer, which was attempting to cross the ice, break through and struggle helplessly. Mr. Mason shot it and immediately rescued a dog which, in pursuing the animal, had failen into the water and was in danger of being dragged under by the current. He hauled the deer to shore. In a few minutes, a party of Indians came up and said they' had been chasing the deer for some time without success, and had frequently fired at it without effect. Mr. Mason explained how he had shot it and how he had rescued the dog. The animal was shivering and Mr. Mason took off his coat and put it on the dog to prevent the animal from catching cold. As Mr. Mason had shot the deer, the Indians supposed that he would claim it. They talked in their language for a while and he then told them that the deer belonged to them. They held another consultation and then began to dress a haunch of venison which they presented to him. Eight years afterward, while Mr. Mason was driving along the road near Yankee Springs Tavern, he met a couple of Indians. When they saw him. one of them stopped him and asked whether Mr. Mason rccogi.ized him. Mr. Mason did not and the Indian then told him that he was a member of the party whose dog Mr. Mason had saved al the outlet of Gun Lake. This was only one of the numerous hunting experiences Mr. Mason has had. as deer became scarcer in this county, he went farther north each year Io hunt them. The skill developed in the early days has enabled him to find deer where others failed. He is also an ex­ pert trrapper and in his home are many mounted souvenirs of his hunting trips and trapping expeditions. Though Mr. Mason is a farmer of the most progressive type, he misses the hospitality of the early days and the deep solitude of the woods. "I like to gel away from the sound of the whistles. ’ he says.

Open houses this Friday night The flavor and charm of small town hospitality will prevail in large dimensions when Hastings merchants and other businesses put out the welcome mat this Friday evening for their second annual Christmas Open House. The Nov. 30 holiday event will be held from 6 to 9 p.m. and will include at least 30participating businesses. Refreshments will be served at participating stores and businesses and carolers will stroll through the downtown area which will be decorated with a glittering array of Christmas lights and decorations. “Hopefully everybody (business) will participate," said Vera Wood of Style Line who serves as open house chairman. The open house is a perfect opportunity to invite local and out-of-town people to come to Hastings so they can see what the friendly city has to offer, she said. However, the cpen house is not a sales event, she stresses. “The main purpose is to get the people to visit all the stores in town. We want them to meet our employees, visit with us and enjoy refreshments. This is our way of letting them know that we’re here and that we care. And of course, we do hope that they will want to shop in Hastings.” Merchants will be available to answer questions about Christmas gift merchandise. Shelves and display cases in Hastings' stores are fully stocked with everything one might need for the holidays and Christmas giving, and merchants hope shoppers will remember to check their hometown shops first when they are ready to buy. The Christmas open house is sponsored by the retail division of the Hastings Area Chamber of Commerce. “We hope it's bigger and better this year," said Mrs. Wood. Among those participating in the Christ­ mas Open House event are Cinder Phar­ macy, Wayne's Shoe Store, Timber Trails, Hodge's Jewelry. Brown’s Custom Interiors Music Center, Birke’s Shoes, Leary ’s, Bosley Pharmacy, J.C.

Plus, JCPenney has a dependable staff that is always willing to assist you in making your Christmas selec­ tion. Downstairs, the JCPenney Catalog Department opens up a whole world of Christmas giving. by Robert J. Johnston While clothing merchants are hoping to see some snowflakes to stimulate even better Christmas sales, Hastings merchants in virtually every field expect this to be a boom year for retail spending in the holiday season. "We’ve experienced the best year we've « ever had," says Mike King at the Music Center in Hastings. "I think we’ll probably experience the best Christmas season we’ve ever had. Consumer confidence is up and we're selling bigger ticket items." King's comments are echoed by BillDreyer, co-owner of Village Squire, who said his store is running 20 percent ahead of their sales projections for the year and they ex­ pect that to be an indicator of things to come in the Christmas season. Dreyer said that Christmas shopping was kicked off by an "extremely good" Thanksgiving weekend. Ken Witker, manager of the JCPenney store said that he is expecting a "fantastic" Christmas season if the weather turns cold. "(Everyday that) the weather doesn't turn is one less day that people have to buy winter and Christmas goods," he commented. Witker said that most downtown Hastings merchants will agree that cold weather and a sprinkle of snow help the local Christmas shopping season. Diane Scott at Timber Trails said that their Thanksgiving weekend was the best they had ever experienced with a lot of purchases of woodstove accessories and skiing apparel. A new item in ski wear, this season, is Expected to he popular, she said. Manufacturers have introduced polypropylene sweaters, which are said to be warmer than cotton but not as warm as wool and don't itch. "They are fast drying, so they are good for skiing," she said. Sweaters are popular items for the clothing stores. Both JCPenney and Village Squire expect big sales in sweaters, especially the fancier styles, this year. “It’s a fantastic year for sweaters in both men’s and women’s," Witker said. "It’s a tmedy thing. One year or two, it will go for sweaters, then to dressy blouses and dress shirts. Always in between is the layered look." In addition to sweaters, Steve Steward, also at Village Squire, said that young men’s fashion shirts are selling well. He added that more stylish men's clothing is being reflected in national sales trends, with men's clothing sales closing the gap against women's sales. Patrick Hodges at Hodges Jewelry said new low priced quartz watches are expected Judy Walldorff invites you to her Cellar Comer Gift Shop at Walldorff's Furniture during the Christmas Open House, Friday, November 30 from 6 to 9 p.m. Judy has a whole collection of cuddly stuffed animals like these Teddys, and a bigger than ever selection of dolls, candle lamps, Christmas decorations, baskets, tin­ ware, exchange gifts, wooden items and the Pfaltzgraff America Collection of tableware.

"People are in a buying mood." he con­ tinued. "They have money and they’re not worried about the economy as they were last year." Christmas shopping started with plenty of early layaways, a trend experienced al several stores. Hodges added that early shoppers often want to look at the selection so they can still special order items that are not stocked. Higher ticket items have been popular at Music Center. King said. “We’re in the middle of a video revolution," he said. “People are becoming more aware of what they can do with a TV. They are not just for watching broadcast TV. They are being used as the base of a video system and people are buying video tape machines and video disc players." King said that the more expensive televisions will do more for the viewer, such as monitor receivers that have multiple hookups for video tape machines, and the integration of audio and video being used for television being broadcast with stereo sound. King said that another sign of the good Christmas season is the number of people making their purchases with charge cards, an indication that they-expect the economy to stay good. Among other popular items at the Music Center are small portable stereos, which used to be purchased just for younger people, but are used by people of all ages. King said. He added that this includes professionals who are using the stereos for dictation and music. Another new trend he has noticed has been the purchaseofa second microwave oven for many homes, including those who are upgrading from their present microwave oven. The sporting goods business has been good this fall, Pete Schantz, owner of Al and Pete’s Sport Shop. said. Schantz said that when the economy was slower, people purchased mostly used guns, but now people are buying new guns "We had a real good year for guns, if that's any indication of how people are going to spend their money." Schantz said. In his business, he said Christmas gifts run the gamut of items in his store, from outwear for hunting and ice fishing to guns and other smaller items. In toy items, Diane Meyer, assistant manager of Felpausch Food Center, said that Cabbage Patch dolls and Rainbow Bright dolls are popular this year, along with the longtime favorite, GI Joe. She said that Felpausch also sells a lot of clothing during the Christmas season and specialty items such as nut and fruit baskets in the produce department and gift packs of cookies in the bakery department.

Friday. November30 from 6 to 9p.m. By Rev. Willard H. Curtis Minister of the First Presbyterian Church Hastings. Michigan Perhaps belter than anywhere else the spirit of Christmas is expressed in the songs we sing in the Christmas season. A part of the spirit of Christmas is the spirit of mystery. But more than the mystery of well-kept secrets and gifts hidden from searching eyes and prying fingers is the mystery surrounding the birth of Christ. It is captured in the familiar words of the carol: "Hark! the hearald angels sing. ‘Glory to the new-born King"’ We may not thing about angels most of the time, but heavenly choirs seem altogether natural at the birth of Jesus. “Offspring of the Virgin’s womb." - pure mystery! Likewise, the meaning of Jesus' birth is mystery of the highest order: "Veiled in flesh the Godhead see: Hail the' Incarnate Deity." Surely, the spirit of Christmas is the spirit of mystery! Also, the spirit of Christmas is the spirit of joy. Lights and laughter, family gatherings and long-awaited reunions - all of this and more contribute to the joy of Christmas. But beyond all of that is a far deeper, richer, lasting reason for joy. It is expressed in the carol: i SPORT SHOP III S. Jefferson in Hastings Joy to the world! the Lord is come: Let earth receive her King; Let every heart prepare Him room And heaven and nature sing. The life that has opened to the spirit of Jesus knows the true joy of Christmas. And, of course, the spirit of Christmas is the spirit of loving generosity.

I he idea of Christmas without Santa Claus is well unseemly It s like a horse without a carnage' or 'if you're so minded' love without marriage' But. boys and girls, jolly old St Nick didn't always have a star billing during the annual yuletide season While aspects of the Christmas Eve gift­ giver have been around tor centuries, our now-familiar elf- complete with round face, snowy white beard, red suit, large belly, and a sackful of toys- is a recent arrival on the lioliday scene. I he modern-day Santa comes, in parts, from the Netherland s St Nicholas tradition, the imagination of Dr Clement Moore, and the drawing talent of Thomas Nast; the latter gentlemen a German immigrant who also gave us the Republican elephant, the Democratic donkey, and the drawing of L'ncleSam being the most responsible for the current, pictorial conception of the man from the North Pole The original St. Nicholas was a Christian bishop of the Fourth Century His feast day on Dec. 6. by the 12th Century, was celebrated throughout Europe After the Reformation in the 16th Century. however. Catholic practice and the Catholics. them selves, did no! keep it up as fervently as they previously had One of the exceptions was Protestant Holland In that country St Nicholas evolved after the Reformation into a gift-giver, particularly for the young And. when the Dutch settled Manhattan and upper New York, they brought along the tradition Other countries also had a tradition of a gift giver In Germany it was Christkindl 'translated as the Christ Child) who was later known as Kross Knngle The child was not considered though as the infant Jesus by the Germans, but rather as a messenger, usually thought of as a girl, who distributed presents from him. The Scandanavians. meanwhile, thought of their gift-giver as a fat old man who carried a l>ag of giftsand pulled a sleigh The English had a Father Christmas and the Russians a Father Frost. Santa took on a more familiar look in 1809 when Washington Irving of New York, and of Dutch descent, described St Nick as having a pipe and. laying a finger on the side of his nose, taking off in his wagon over the treetops Dr ( loment Clarke Moore, a professor of Greek and Hebrew in Manhattan, however, was largely responsible for giving us the start of our modern da■; concept of Santa Claus. In 1822 he composed a poem for his daughter which he called T was the Night Before Christmas". A year later it was published anonymously and it wasn't until I837thal Moore admitted tobeing the author The poem of course became a tradition and is still very much with us Moore borrowed from the earlier ideas of the gif!-giver and of St Nick, but his poem was responsible for giving Santa manv of his current characteristics The idea of Santa coming down the chimney seems to have originated with Moore It’was also Moore who first described him as an elf-like character and who gave him his jolly aspects and rosy cheecks. Moore was also the one who decided to have eight reindeer, with names, who pulled the sleigh while flying There was an earlier mention of reindeer pulling a sleigh- a piece by New Yorker Burton Stevenson called "A Childrens Friend but whether Moore got the idea from that article, from his own imagination. Barlow’s QlVuSCmaS ■•1 whi-ihvi it was part of the Manhattan .oik lore of that imtkxI is unknown While Moore described Santa or st Nick «Hh words, it was Thomas Nast an illustrator lor the popular national magazine Harpers Weekly during the mid and late IHIN)- who provided the visual portrait hr image of Santa that we generally have '* • rain- from the various drawings Nast did <<n the Christmas subject and of St \Kk over a 30-year period Prior to Nasi's portrayal of Santa Claus as the lolly, round bellied, whit^breaded fur clad embodiment of good cheer as ascribed in Moore's poem>.

And w inter al the nigh school sports scene means high school basketball, w restling, and volleyball All three Hastings winter sports teams have opened practice and are eyeing respective openers, two of which occur next week.

The team is under the direction of Dave Furrow, who is entering his 13th year as coach.

Character No. 99540 Is this on the record? The problem is as old as the earliest newspaper and will continue to exist until there are no more reporters or temperamental subjects remaining. Any reporter who has ever tried to string three graphs together for a story has run into subjects who scream they've had their statements taken out of context, been misquoted, or deny categorically they’re guilty of making such outlandish statements. Statements such that when they hit the newsstands often times make the subject look rather foolish. This subject is touched upon now because of the recent furor created at a Grand Rapids banquet between Detroit Lion quarterback Gary Danielson and a Grand Rapids Press sportswriter. Danielson claims No. 1. the reporter slanted several of Danielson's com­ ments regarding teammates, the Lions' coaching staff and front office, and No. 2, the writer had no right to quote him in the first place. Actually, it’s a wonder situations like that don't pop up more frequently. Why? It’s like this: The primary objective for newspaper reporters is to uncover the facts of a story and relate them to the public. That may sound simple enough, but as any reporter can tell you, there are times when it isn’t. Because reporters often deal with controversial topics, the feelings and opinions of the public are aroused — sometimes to a fervor pitch. While it may not be the intent or the job of the reporter to create such emotions, it goes with the territory. The reporter can't worry'about it; all he can do is get his fact straights — and therein, wrote Shakespeare once, lies the rub. The vast majority of reporters bend over backwards, sometimes double or even triple check their stories, to make sure the things they are writing are factual. When something isn't right, when somebody claims they've been misquoted, often times what has happened is not a case of the reporter screwing up. but the subject realizing too late what he has said and how it will look in the newspaper in front of thousands of readers. What can the subject do? Naturally he tries to shift the blame to the reporter where it becomes one word against the other. “Misquoted," squeals the subject. “Malarky," shoots back the reporter. As far as in the “candy store" world of sports, situations like these don’t happen with much regularity at the high school level, where everything is supposedly lower key. It happens more in college, or as in the case of Danielson and the Grand Rapids reporter, at the professional level, where obviously there is more at stake. On behalf of the smitten subject, it should be pointed out that if a reporter is guilty of breaking the Cardinal rule of using information given to them off-therecord, it becomes a vastly different ballgame. Because a reporter is often handed barrels full of off-the-record in­ formation, he knows far more about a story than what ever appears in the paper. That too is the nature of newspaper work. Not everything a reporter knows about certain stories can be printed. Unfortunately, reporters do exist who will not hesitate to use material sup­ plied to them off-the-record. But in addition to being dangerously unethical, the reporter runs the risk of never getting another story from that source Because of those two reasons, a reporter rarely uses off-the-record comments. The good reporter never uses them. 1 didn't attend that Grand Rapids banquet, but I would surmize Mr. Danielson may have been guilty of "deviating” from his story once his comments hit the newsstand. As far as his claim that he shouldn't have been quoted at all. one needn't have attended the banquet to know Danielson is wrong on that account. He should know by now that public figures, whether it be politicans, school officials, civic leaders or even pro football quarterbacks, are fair game for the media. Because of their positions, the comments and opinions of such public figures are subject to review by the media. People have a right to know how these people stand on issues and it is the job of the newspaper to convey that position. It may not be fair, but once a person becomes a public figure he forfeits much ot his privacy and his right to spout off when he feels like it. And there's no way a newspaper reporter should lake the blame for that. - Bittta Creek Stem, Catwnbla, North Aw., PamifioM a*4 Urkandab Gvroiyvop* Sailor Dream Hcrse Butterfly ^^lAerPrice^l No 449 or den Barbie doits baby palomino!

The team thus ends Hie season with an 18-2 mark. A tight Cardinal zone defense and poor shooting by Hastings contributed to the loss. Hastings shot only two free throws the entire evening, missing them both.

Philip Shubert, then secretary­ treasurer of the the Hastings Area Chamber <X Commerce, is credited as the originator of the idea for emphasize the meaning of Christinas in a parade. “Even the merchants felt that Christmas was becoming too com­ mercial," Shubert was quoted as saying. The idea caught on nationwide, and Christmas of 1955 saw dozens of towns from coast to coast hosting their own Christmas pageants. Chambers of Commerce from Canton and Dayton, Ohio, Traverse City and Sturgis, Whittier, Calif., and Renton. Wash, wrote Shubert to say they had planned a pageant similar to Hastings'. Several radio stations, including WINS in New York City, banned commercial messages from the air Christmas Day. In Buffalo, the message "Christmas is Christ's Bir­ thday" was stressed on billboards, posters, and auto and window stickers. Strollers on New York City’s Park Avenue paused that season to look at a manger scene in front of the Christ Methodist Church. Members of the congregation took turns playing the roles of Joseph and Mary, and live sheep were borrowed from the Bronx Zoo. Hastings’ second Christmas pageant attracted only 10,000 spectators, still an impressive number of a town of less than 6,500 or so, and it was again hailed nationally. Some referred to the idea as 'The Hastings Pkn'. The following year. 8,000 spectators lined State Street, and again shoplights were turned off, as the church floats told man’s greatest story. But the 'The Hastings Plan' had faded from the nation's conscious, a curious footnote to the fifties. Before the decade's -nd, the lights were turned on for good 25.

Shooting death ruled a suicide Police have ruled the shooting death of a 48-year-old Delton woman found dead in her home Monday morning as a suicide. Barry County Sheriff Department investigators at first called the death a "possible homicide”, but later amended their press release to "shooting incident ”, Letha E. Myers, 2662 Circle Dr., Fair Lake, died of a single 12-gauge shotgun blast to the chest, according to Detective Sgt. Kenneth DeMott. He said the weapon was sitting propped in a corner of her bedroom when deputies arrived, shortly after receiving a call at 9:15 a.m. from Mrs. Myers’ 19-year-old son. Dana. DeMott said Dana Myers underwent a polygraph test Wednesday morning, which cleared him of any wrongdoing in his mother's death. According to DeMott, Dana Myers said he did not hear the shotgun blast that killed his mother, though he was sleeping in the same home at the time. Police do not know how long Mrs. Myers was dead before her body wap discovered. DeMott said Dana Myers ejected a shotgun shell from the weapon, and placed it in the comer before calling police. Luncheon closes county offices Barry County offices will be closed Friday, Dec. 14, from 11:30 a m. to 1:30 p.m. for a Christmas luncheon. The luncheon is an annual tradition that brings together county employees.

The only exception will be the Barry County Sheriff Department, which will conduct business as usual. Don Lawrence, Felpausch senior vice president, and Tom Feldpausch, executive vice president, listen to Hastings Planning Commission members discuss the store’s request for the closure of two city streets. A public hearing on the matter is scheduled for Jan. 15 in council chambers. Tax break recommended for E.W. Bliss expansion by Ken Rcibel Bliss moved closer to its proposed $1.25 million stamping machine purchase and plant expansion Monday, when the Hastings Planning Commission voted to recommend a lax abatement district for the manufacturer The recommendation now goes on to the Hastings City Council, which will set a public hearing on the matter. Immediately following the hearing, council will vote either for or against the tax break. The final step in the six-month-old ap­ plication is state review. If it passes, the state issues a tax certificate, which will freeze theslateequalized value <SEV) on the plant's present equipment Steve Williams. Bliss's accounting manager, said the value of company's old equipment is estimated at $586,000 He added the average age of the machines to be replaced is 29 years. Although Bliss asked for a 12-year tax abatement, council can set the abatement for any number of years. According to a Bliss spokesperson. Bliss is eyeing a horizontal machining cenlcr. which produces component parts for Bliss presses. The machine is descibed as "slate of the art", and is intended to ncrease the com­ pany's share in the machine tool market. The new machining center wilt be located inside the main plant in Hastings, and will take approximately 15 months to install. In its tax abatement application. Bliss said the new machinery and improvements would enable the plant to operate more efficiently and put the plant in a more competitive position, resulting in a market share in­ crease. Work on installing the new machines could begin in July, 1985, and be completed in summer of 1986. The Bliss application is the first received Accused burglar pleads guilty to local break-in A man whom police describe as "a career criminal" pleaded guilty in Barry Circuit Court Friday to burglarizing a Center Road home, and being a two-time habitual of­ fender.

In exchange for his guilty plea, prosecutors have agreed to drop a charge of being a fourth-time offender, which carries a maximum life in prison Prosecutors have also agreed not to pursue a second burglary charge Under questioning from Barry-Eaton Circuit Court Judge Hudson E. Deming. Miner said he and two other subjects broke into the Virgil Hine residence. 4142 Center ltd , sometime last winter, and stole a piano Miner said he later "broke up" the piano and threw it away.

Pinks told Judge Deming Pinks left Jackson Prison in April, and was serving time in a resident home program in Bai ry County when he reportedly failed to report to an agent of the Barry County Probation and Parole Department Under criminal statutes, that failure to report constituted prison escape Pinks was serving a sentence for felonious assault in connection with an altercation at the Orangeville Tavern I got out of prison in April, but then started back out with the same old crowd, drinking." explained Pinks He admitted a serious alcohol problem Continued on Page 2 by the City of Hastings under Public Act 198, which provides for industrial tax abatements. Planning Commission Chairman David Jasperse told Williams that the city would assist the company in applying for an Urban Development Action Grant (UDAG), or a Small Cities Block Grant. Both grants are based on the additional number of jobs ex­ pected Io be generated by the improvements. Bliss officials say the company could call as many as 200 persons back to work, "depending on the company building its market share." E W. Bliss Co. currently employs about 260 people. by ken Rcibel City planners Monday night formally recommended Felpausch Food Center's request to close Court Street, hut advised against a plan to vacate Center Street, to make room for the store's 12,406-square-foot expansion. A Jan. 15 public hearing before city council is set on the street closings. A Jan. 15 public hearing before city council is set on the street closings. Commissioners also recommended that the city widen and improve Boltwood Street, which lies east of the store. The formal recommendation not to vacate Center Street includes the proviso that the city will work with Felpausch Io improve the road from Michigan Avenue to Boltwood Street as a public thoroughfare. Don Lawrence. Felpausch senior vice president, said the store needed the vacation of Center Street to assure "barrier free” traffic in the parking lot. "What we are willing to do is arrange our parking area as such so that you would in fact have free access...down Center Street all the way to Roltwood," said Lawrence. "It would accomplish the same purpose as a public thoroughfare," said Lawrence. "Traffic could come down Center Street, pass through our lot, and if need be. continue on.” Lawrence said the Center Street parking lot would have traffic lanes, and save the city the expense of installing curb and gutter. "We're looking for the most economical way, a more convenient way for all parties concerned," he said. The new parking lot would contain about 300 parking places. Larry Nix, of Williams and Works, the city's consulting firm, advised against closing Center Street. "From what I see. I'm not sure we need a complete vacation of Center Street. Maybe there's a good public-private cooperation in accomplishing what the developers need,” said Nix. He cautioned planners that Center Street would pick up more traffic with the closing of Court Street, which he said is designated in the city’s master plan as a secondary thoroughfare, which means it carries a significant amount of traffic. "One of the secondary impacts we gain if we do close Court Street is that Center Street could become a major east-west thorough­ fare," said Nix. "A brief survey of the street indicates it could use more traffic to increase the economic viability of that street's housing and business potential. "I think it would become an improvement to the area if Center Street became more visible to tire public...If more people started travelling it. Businesses like to see people and cars go by their stores,” he said. Nix said the closing of Court Street had some negative effects, hut "the nonnln requesting the closure would be more hut i than anyone else" by not closing it. Commissioners presented Felpausch tfficers with information on obtaining Urban Development Action Grants (UDAG). and Small City Block Grants, to help finance the cost of the expansion Store officers gave $2 million as "a ballpark estimate" of the cost of expansion. Under UDAG. Hastings would be given an amount of money based on the number of jobs to be created by the project. The city in turn loans that money to the developer at a low interest rate. Upon repayment, the city is then free to loan the money nut again to another developer that promises added jobs for the area. David Jasperse, planning commission chairman, referred to the grants as "a revolving fund, administered by the city, which the city can keep loaning out.” Felpaush's Lawrence told commissioners Monday night the expansion may increase store employment by more than 40 percent. However. Lawrence said Tuesday that figure was ""pure speculation, based on sftnilar projects in other cities. He did say there would be “a substantial increase in the number of jobs" at the store if the expansion goes as planned. Felpausch of Hastings currently employs about 125 per­ sons, excluding office and clerical help, said Lawrence. Hastings has vacated four streets before The City of Hastings has vacated four streets since 1959, according to Michael Klovanich, director of public works. Klovanich said the city has no set policy for street vacations, but relies instead on the community's response at public heari gs. Following are the locations, dates, and reasons for Hastings street vacations: Roltwood Street from Green to Walnut Stre ts, vacated September 28. 1959, at the request of Metal Tile Corp, i Hastings Aluminum). Thorn Street from Hanover to East Streets, vacated January 23, 1961, at the request of Hastings Manufacturing. Walnut Street from S. Michigan Avenue east to Boltwood, vacated March 25. 1968. at the request of Hastings Aluminum. Boltwood Street from Grand to Bond Streets, vacated May 22, 1972, at the request of a local church. SE students plan for spring flowers Although the weather outdoors was wintry, the ground was still soft enough for thoughts to turn to the beauty of spring flowers this week at Southeastern Elementary School. A group of students Tuesday planted about 200 flower bulbs to beautify the grounds in front of their school. The planting project was the grand finale of a fall fundraiser, sponsored by the PTO, in which grades kindergarten through sixth sold between 1.300 and i.500 boxes of bulbs (tulips, hyacinths, daffadils, narcissus, etc.) to raise money to purchase computers for the school The students cleared about $2,800 profit from their sales. The top three classes (a sixth grade, second grade and kindergarten) which generated the most sales were selected to plant the leftover bulbs in front of the school. Because of the success of the project all of the school's students were treated to a Walt Disney lihn shown in the building. Prizes to individual top sellers were awarded too Students af Southeastern Elementary School in Hastings didn't let a few snow­ flakes get in the way of planting about 200 flower bulbs in front of their building on Tuesday. Some of the participants included (from left) Col Casey and Jason Johncock, both second graders; and Cecil Ryan, Michele Zurfoce, Debi Kelley, and Becki Britten, sixth graders. �Poge 2— The Hasstings Banner— Thursday, December 6. 1984 VIEWPOINT: Four persons die in accidents on county roads over weekend -ommcntgnes from our editorial staff and the community - Four persons died in two separate crashes The dead are identified as the driver, on Barry County roads last weekend.

That action is good for the short­ term health of the downtown business district, but must be offset by a careful weighing of future development. The planning commission has already taken the first step toward future development by recommending against closing Center Street, which the company had sought. If Court Street is closed, city planners felt that Center Street would become important for traffic flow in the future. It is vital to the future of the business district that Felpausch keep its major grocery store in downtown Hastings. To lose the traffic flow and exposure to customers generated by Felpausch would be a disaster for the dozens of smaller retailers downtown. The executives of Felpausch obviously recognize the importance of their store to the other businesses, otherwise they might have proceeded with plans to build elsewhere. The most important aspect of the proposal is the changes it will bring in the long-term to downtown Hastings. The expanded store can be expected to spur other development, most likely on property bet­ ween the expanded store and Green Street. Development can also be expected to take place on the north side of State Street in the former Reahm block and on the Consumers Power property on Boltwood at Center. It is imperative that when final approval comes before the City Council, next month, long-term development of the affected area is discussed. While city residents*would gain from the expansion through an increase in jobs a healthier tax base and an improved retail selection, they would lose out if Felpausch decided to build a new store on Cook Road in the future. Having Court Street blocked by a secon­ dary grocery store or a company warehouse would be worse for the downtown than if Felpausch moved today. Felpausch as a company has been a tremendous asset to Hastings in providing jobs and a quality supermarket. The attitude of company executives and employees has always been positive and progressive. We expect that attitude to continue and urge the company and the city council to take the actions that are best for the community. -.°Oa « one ot.the collection points where persons^ S? r °,|,ood °"d >oy> 'or Christmas boskets for those less fortunate in Barry County Felpausch employee Brian Sinclair and Al Decker front end XhTa°.rb.Cen'jk T °' i,em’ P'QCed ” 'he Ilitlor’cS” wmen has been festively decorated. /D v PUBLIC OPINION: .

Graduation requirements are topic of meeting Recommendations to change Hastings High School graduation requirements will be discussed at a public meeting lo be held Dec. 10. at 7 p.m in lite vocal music room at Hastings Junior High School. The recommendations were made by a faculty committee which has been meeting since October. The group, which consists of educators at all levels in the school system, has considered lhe number of credit hours necessary for a diploma, distribution of credit hours among subjects, and specific classes that should ix* required of graduates. According to Dr. Earl Newman, director of educational services for Hastings Area Schools, the Board of Education initiated the study "partly in response to interest in graduation requiremtns that has been generated al the slate and national levels by a number of reports published in lhe last two years." Newman said graduation requirements were last reviewed in 1968. “This review of graduation requirements is also a part of a larger review of the school system's total curriculum in grades kin­ dergarten through adult education which is currently in process," said Newman. Since organizing in October, the faculty group has met four times to consider graduation requirements. The group has talked with the Board of Education's curriculum committee, and with a panel of selected students and parents The committee's report will be submitted to the Board of Educat ion for possible action John Czinder John Cohoon The Dept, of Treasury recently unveiled a 'tax simplification plan*, designed to reduce the number of deductions and brackets. According to Treasury officials, the plan would benefit lower and rnldd'e income in­ dividuals and families, saving them some tax dollars. However, higher income in­ dividuals and families, plus many buslnesses, and many corporations would be paying more taxes because of the elimination of specific deductions. The Banner asked some representatives of businesses, corporations, and institutions, who would be affected by these eliminations directly or indirectly, to give their reaction to the proposed plan. Doug Vickery. Broker-Owner Formula Real Estate— (Commenting on the proposed elimination of mortgage-interest deductions of dwellings, other than the primary dwelling) It would probably stymie investing a lot. People who invest in rentals would look elsewhere. People with cash are looking for yield. If you get an invesler looking for something, he wants the best yield he can get on his money whether it be rentals, because of the depreciation, the write off on interest, the write-off on taxes and so on. And, if he can't reach it. he's going to invest someplace else where he can get a good yield. It would (also) probably have an adverse affect on the price of housing, and it's going to leave more homes on the market. You see, the buyer has the whole world to choose from. The seller has one property and. if his neighbor down the street is comprable but lower, the buyer is going to go down the street. So, the price (on the houses) is going lo go lower and lower until it’s sold. If the investment isn't there. I've got to think that homes or rental property has to come down in price to make up for it. On vacations homes. I don't think the lack of a deduction will discourage a purchase I think they can use it as an excuse to get a lower price But usually when someone wants a vacation home there's a need or they want it for pleasure. So it really won't make a lot of difference whether the yield is there or not. It's the guys that go around a buy rentals, these are the ones who will be turned off. James Toburen Marshall Brison. Executive Director "f Hastings Community Fund— (Commenting on proposal to eliminate charitable deduc­ tions unless they total 2 percent or more of person's income) I would say for the benefit of evervone concerned they should have the deductions so that the people, who do pay. would be more encouraged lo help out. I think having the deduction does make a difference, especially with people who make a little larger contribution. It goes both ways— the person contributes to help the charity out and they use it for their own personal benefit. Robetl Picking. President Hastings City Bank— (Commenting on the plan's overall affect) I think we’re loo premature. The Treasury came out with a proposal to test the water. 1 don't know what the President is going to do, I don't know what Congress is going to do, and I think I would be premature losay what affect this plan is going to have on me (the bank) when I don't have the details on what's going to be passed. Right now all I could do is make assump­ tions that 1 only have a little bit of in­ formation on. I don't think, for your sake or mine, that 1 can honestly give an opinion or viewpoint that's really fair and objective to the tax plan, to my bank, to the industry, and to the community because one entity (Treasury Department) has proposed a law; a proposal which we don't have any idea whether it's going lo pass or not. If it had passed and they said that this is what it is. tnen I could you an opinion. So far what I know about the plan is from the news ser­ vices. No one from our industry has really said yet what the plan’s affect on us would be. Right now, lo comment on the plan's af­ fect. would be only speculating. John Czinder. owner Cinder Pharmacy: (Commenting on the overall plan). Czinder doesn't hold much hope that any lax sim­ plifications will pass Congress because of the "massive amount of lobbying by people who already have these tax loopholes." He said that the present tax system is too well en­ trenched to stand much chance of passing Congress.

Hampton’s Legion lay near my old plantation home, but many of the boys were welcome guests not only in our home, but in those of neighboring plantations. The matter of suitable presents, little tokens of remembrance, was a source of anxious thought, not only to us, but the soldier boys also. And finally we settled ■’own on the practical and knitted warm woolen socks and mufflers and made caps wadded with wool. Of course tiny pin cushions made of scraps of silk and little books found their way to some favored one’s pockets, while watch charms carved from the ivory of fine tooth combs and the palmetto cut in lead, beaten and hammered flat from a bullet, were treasures. "My mother had invited General Allen, the commanding officer, and his staff to dine with us, and many of his boys, as he called them, for they were friends and neighbors in his southern home, would also come, and by night the young people would gather for a dance. Mammy, our old cook, tossed her turbaned head when my mother suggested cake made of brown sugar and cookies of sorghum, for luxuries were not to be had and necessities hard to get after two years of war. "The cakes looked rich and brown, though, when taken from the Dutch ovens, and we dressed them with holly berries and popped com, laid over closely like icing. "The long table in the dining room held a substantial meal that Christmas day. "The big turkey held the place of honor assigned especially to that bird on such a day, but was none the less juicy and luscious for being stuffed with raised com bread, minus raisins and almonds, but well filled with roasted chestnuts. At the other end of the table, a roasted (pig) shote knelt gracefully on a broad platter holding a red apple in his mouth. A pair of ducks lying cozily together was flanked by an old Virginia ham resting in a dish, of cabbage. Big pones of com bread and brown-beaten biscuits, homemade pickle and redcurrant jam filled in the spaces, while from the steaming silver urn my mother drew the fragrant coffee made of dried sweet potatoes and toasted rye and sweetened with sandy brown sugar. “To the homesick soldier boys, whose rations were often parched enm and bacon, such a dinner was a feast, and they did it justice. But all during the evening as they came from the camps my mother served the hot coffee and sent none away without their Christmas dinner. “Our dressing, (clothes) had got to be a study. Old silks.were treasures but were often combined without regard to color. A favorite evening dress was unbleached muslin and not infrequently lace curtains gracefully draped over an old evening silk, while the dainty fan was made of paper. Gloves were priceless. No matter how soiled, they were carefully preserved and kept as neat as possible by rubbing with meat and soft soap. (The gloves were made from kids skin leather and therefore not able to be washed as cotton gloves would have been.) “We danced this Christmas night until the wee small hours, Uncle Ben’s scraping diddle and rosined bow making sweet enlibening music for tripping feet. “The cold weather had given place to a warm, sultry spell and the open low windows often tempted couples out to a promenade on the brad piazza which almost surrounded our spacious home. "There was a clinging sadness bom of the turbulent times, or perhaps the reality of war, with its stem discipline that lent a dignity to men and bravery to women for there was an intense earnestness in every face and I recall little that was really frivolous except dancing. "While Uncle Ned had gone to quench his thirst, a young soldier from Alabama seated himself at the piano and sang that sweet song, "Let Me Kiss Him for His Mother". I think strong men wiped their eyes. Major Lily of the Mississippi, one of the state’s brightest young lawyers, gave some of his brilliant recitations, alternately melting his audience to tears or con­ vulsing them with laughter. Two weeks after, he met his death in a shocking accident on a southern railroad on his way home to be married. "Colonel Armstrong of Alabama was the hero of the evening, a brave, noble officer who commanded his boys with mingled dignity and love "ntil they would ride to the cannon's mouth under his leadership. "How did the men in camp spend Christmas Day? You may be sure some time was spent in writing home to the loved ones, using every available box and barrel as a table. Pencils were saved by tying a cord to them and nearly every man boasted at least of a stub or short pieces while paper was often written over two or three times crossed and recrossed. "One thing that made Hampton camp particularly joyful was the capture of a sutler (supply) train late that evening, one or two wagons loaded with edibles and clothing, which was passing overland to join the Army of the Potomac, lying near Falmouth. “Many of the boys come in with new squeaky boots and pockets full of ginger cakes and crackers, and while there was pitty for the poor suiter, who was cared for in camp until sent under guard to Richmond to be regularly exchanged, we rejoiced over the grand luck which brought something cheery to all the boys in Camp Hampton that Christmas Day in 1862." Banner tells of local hermit’s life In the history of our county, every oncein-awhile there is a person living here who is described as strange or dif­ ferent. We have had several of these people, mostly they are loners and have money. Here is an account of one of them. "THE STRANGE LIFE" Lead by Daniel Jackson. "The Maple Grove Recluse" November 26,1903 The recent death of Daniel Jackson, the old hermit of Maple Grove, removed not only one of the old residents of this county, but also one of its strangest characters. Could his whole life history be written, we are sure that it would be most fascinating, and perhaps reveal the reason why he came to this county when it was a wilderness, to live the life of a recluse, and to die alone. It is said that Jackson came from the same place in England that Andrew. Jackson's ancestors came from, though the latter’s parents came from Ireland. Be that as it may. the similarity of appearance of Daniel Jackson and pictures of the noted Andrew was remarkable. Among his effects was a fine dress suit that was doubtless in style in Andrew Jackson’s time. Daniel Jackson was a young man, an importer of gent’s furnishing goods and tailor's supplies and, with his brother, conducted business in New York City under the name of Jackson Bros, and having branch houses in other cities, and we are told (they) conducted a flourishing business For some reason, unknown to us, he joined the crusade of gold hunters to California in 1849, remaining there until 1852, when he went down to the Isthmus of Panama and had charge of the construction of some railroad work. Various reports are told of what hap­ pened down there, but he returned to New York in 1853, and shortly after came to this county with his brother. and bought the farm on which he died. He never went east to see his brother, and the latter never visited him af­ terwards, though we are told there was no estrangement between them. As a young man, we are told that he was rather wild and dissolute, and of a roving disposition. Perhaps, having seen enough of the world, he sought the seclusion of the Michigan wilds in hopes of freeing himself from the habits he had formed, and to settle down in life. In Maple Grove, he practically lived the life of a hermit, his 120 acres of land being paid for in cash when he bought it and furnishing him with more money than he needed, or used. His days were spent in a little hut, most of them being passed near a certain window, proof of which being plainly shown by the fact that the chair legs had worn down fully a half inch into the floor. He always had good crops and raised plenty of stock, and it was rumored around the neighborhood, and even beyond, that the old man had lots of money hidden about the house. This led to a most brutal and cowardly assault being made upon him, about seven or eight years ago, by a gang of thugs from Battle Creek. He was brutally pounded and slugged. He was robbed of nearly $600 and the thugs, not satisfied with this amount and feeling that there was more money about the house, tried to make him reveal its whereabouts by more punishment. The old man insisted that he had no more money with such persistence that the robbers went away early in the evening of a cold day, leaving him bound, gagged and coverd with blood, where he was accidentally found about ten o'clock the next forenoon more dead than alive. He recovered in time and saw one of them sentenced to Jackson for life, the latter being transfered to the Asylum for the Criminal Insane in Ionia, where he died a few years ago Jackson told W.W. Potter, his at- Continued to Page 5 The Hastings Banner— Thursday, December 6, 1984.

Hastings math students who qualified for the second test were Andy Moskalik and Kim Inman. Andy is the son of Jim and Judy Moskalik of 4186 E. Center Rd.. Hastings, and Kim is the daughter of Ray and Mary Inman of 11606 Hutchinson Rd., Dowling. Thomas Maurer, math teacher, has served as the high school supervisor for Hastings students competing in the examination. This competition is sponsored by the Michigan Section of the Mathematic Association of America and is designed to foster a wider interest in mathematics, to fo^us attention on the necessity of mathematical training in most professions and trades, and to identify and provide scholarships for capable mathematics students in the Stale of Michigan. The approximately 100 winners of the competition will be honored at the Awards Program to be held at Alma College on Saturday, March 2, with half of the winners receiving college scholarships.

December 6. 1984 what’s cookin - -Antique5 Aud’s Antics by Elaine Gilbert This week featuring Care of cooper and brass items Mary Javor Farm life and horse shows appeal to Mary Javor in a big way. whether it’s tackling computerized' farming or traveling around the state's horse show circuit At one time Mary says she was away from farm life just long enough to know that she really wanted to be involved in farming. Mary grew up on a dairy farm and now she and husband, Dan, have a 400-acre farm near Hastings where they currently milk 55-cows and raise their own crops and feed. They purchased their Messer Rd. farm in 1973. Mary pitches right in with the farm chores and says she does all the morning milking. "The morning I got married, I milked 180cows." she chuckles. Al the Javor farm, two full-time male employees do the evening milking which gives the family time to pursue special in­ terests. Dan's hobby is computers and Mary shares that interest with him. Both belong to the the Computer User Club and al] of their farm records and bookwork are done on computer. Mary says sne spends about 10hours per month working with farm-related data on their computer. A native of Hastings, Mary spent about three years in Florida when her father operated a boat marina there when she six through nine years old. She attended Algonquin Elementary School and graduated from Hastings High School. She worked for awhile at Hastings Manufacturing and married Dan six months after graduation. Their first farming efforts were devoted to hogs and beef but after daughter Kim was born, they decided to branch into dairy farming. Kim is now 14 and raises the family’s calves. The couple's other children Krissy, 9, and Kristopher, 7, also help with chores. Horses have a special intrique for the family. Wall-to-wall shelves on one side of the family room are full of trophies that daughter Kim has won while showing horses. Krissy is now showing more too and bringing home awards. Kristopher, who is still to young to join 4-H, is the “walk and trot" specialist when working with the family’s horses. Mary says her interest in horses began in 4-H when she was a member of the T-K Riders 4-H Club in Middleville. Two of her oldest children are now members of that same club and are associated with children whose parents were club members when Mary was a child. "I've been interested in 4-H ever since I was nine," says Mary. Although she’s never been a 4-H leader, she says "I’ve been a supportive parent...I have as much fun going to 4-H as the kids do.’’ She has served as 4-H coach for horse judging and for three years as 4-H superintendent of demonstrations and public speaking at the Barry County Fair. Horses an, a hobby, says Mary. “I've had horses most of my life and showed in high school. Luckily my kids decided to show. "We have mainly young horses. Kim does most c.' the training." She says the family enjoys the challenge of buying a young horse and seeing "how good we can make it” Mary and sometimes, Dan, take their children around the state horse show circuit, participating in many open English-Western Horseman’s Association (EWHA) shows in places as far as Detroit and as close as Battle Creek. They've been to shows in areas such as Berrien Springs, Muskegon, Grand Rapids and Kalamazoo. “We mainly go to socialize. It's fun to meet people and compete against the big trainers,” said Mary. "We like the spirit of competition and the friendliness of the people. It’s a good clean family sport And I know where my kids are.’’ For the past two years Mary has served as secretary for the EWHA After the holidays, Mary hopes to get the ball rolling to start an equestrian team for local high school age students. Besides horses and computers, Mary enjoys making crafts, including ceramics; reading, and swimming in the family’s in­ door pool. "It seems like I’m always going to meetings,” she says. "Dan is vice president of the local chapter of Michigan Milk Producers Association so I get involved in that too...We both enjoy what we’re doing." With a busy schedule, Mary says one-dish oven meals are an easy way to prepare a good dinner. One of her favorites is a meatloaf placed on top of potatoes in the same dish. She found the recipe in a magazine about 10-years ago. Accompanied with a tossed salad and garlic bread, the meatloaf and potatoes provide a nutritious meal, she said. The recipe can be adapted to crockpot cooking too. However, Mary suggests that canned, sliced potatoes should be substituted for the crockpot version which can cook as long as eight-hours. When entertaining a small group of people, the Javors enjoy cooking cubes of beef on skewers over the fire in the fireplace. She says she cuts roast beef into cubes, about an inch-square, and seasons them with garlic and salt and pepper and marinates the meat in the refrigerator for about an hour before cooking. During the summer, she prepares the beef M°ry- wh° grew up on a dairy farm and now is a working partner with her hus­ band, Don on a 400-acre operation near Hatings, keeps busy. One of her favorite recipes is this 'one-dish meatloaf & potatoes', which she found In a magazine 10 years ago. cubes tne same way but cook- them on the grill with onions and mushrooms added on the skewers, between meat.

Esther Walton column, continued torney, that at the time the gang assaulted him, there was about $2,000 or more in the house that the robbers• did not get. This was brought to the city later on, and consisted very largely of greenbacks that were issued right after the war. and which had gone out of circulation 25 years ago. Up to the time he was robbed, Jackson had not been in this city for 22 years, though living but a few miles from here, and the farthest away he ever got since settling in Michigan was to Battle Creek. The deceased left an estate worth probably $7,000. He made three wills at different times. We understand that he left the farm to his brother's children in New York; $1,000 towards founding a hospital in Nashville; $500 to L. J Wilson, of Nashville; and smaller amounts of money to various persons who befriended him. He was a man who always had a high regard for his word, had prided himself upon being honest. He was intelligent, well read, and had been around the world a great deal. He was a strange character and a true history of his life would doubtless be very fascinating.

In a separate ceremony, he was commissioned as an ensign in the regular U.S. Navy. (photosupplied) Local couple’s son now naval air officer Timothy Bartholomew, son of the Rev. and Mrs. Jack Bartholomew of Hastings, graduated at the top of his class from the air officers’ candidate school at Pensacola Naval Air Station in Florida. Rev. Bartholomew, pastor of Hope United Methodist Church in Hastings; and his wife Millie; and Timothy's wife Beth, par­ ticipated in one portion of the Nov. 21 ceremonies when Timothy was com­ missioned an ensign in the regular U.S. Navy because of his achievements. They escorted him to the front of the sanctuary in the Naval chapel where he was commissioned as an officer. Timothy, 25, was awarded high honors from the air officers’ candidate school, ranking number one in his class academically and also at the top of his class in military bearing and physical training. As a result of attaining the highest honors in all three areas, Timothy received the Snowflake Award, a regimental sword, and was appointed regimental commander of the group. A different class of officer candidates graduates approximately every week from the school but Tim’s regimental sword was only the second one awarded this year. Tim also chalked up a 100-percent rating for room locker personnel, which is almost never done, said his parents. Flight training in Pensacola is next on Tim’s agenda. Afterwards, he will be assigned to a unit for a specific aircraft “Tim has wanted to fly since he was a small boy," said his parents. He is the third generation family member to serve in the Navy. Rev. Bartholomew and Timothy’s paternal grandfather served as enlisted men. "It’s exciting to have Tim be a com­ missioned officer,” said his father. “AU of our children have been achievers,” said Mrs. Bartholomew, adding that it’s difficult to express how happy you feel. She said Timothy and Beih "give God the credit. They both have a deep faith in God and recognize that it was through His strength” that Timothy was able to attain such achievements.” “We knew Tim had fortitude, but we didn't realize he would receive all these honors, said Mrs. Bartholomew. Even when Tim was a youngster, “when he wanted something, he'd go after it,” said his father. The couple reminisced about one incident when Tim was in the fifth grade and wanted to play basketball but was cut from the team. Instead of going away rejected, Tim volunteered to serve as the team's equip­ ment manager. As manager, he went to school early and got everything ready and then went off to the side to practice on his own. It wasn’t long before the coach invited him to become part of the team, they said.

Phone 1-313-255-4179 Member F.D.I.C �The Hastings Banner— Thursday, December 6, 1984, Page 9 Delton, Lakewood dominate All-County cage team One of the teams compiled a somewhat astounding 19-2 record while the other claimed a district basketball title. And so it only stands to reason that girls from Delton and Lakewood's squads would dominate the 1984 Banner-Reminder All-Barry County Girls Basketball team. Lake wood, which had compiled a fine 16-6 record heading into Tuesday's regional, landed two seniors. Kellie Price and Jill Wilcox, on the first team while KVA champ Delton also produced two firs* team selec­ tions in seniors Melinda Bromley and Kim Baker. The other first team selection, a repeater from 1983, is Hastings* high-scoring junior forward, Amy Atkinson. Delton and Lakewood were also represented on the second team with the Panthers' Sue Leto and the Vikings’ Annette Roth being named. Both are juniors. Rounding out the second team are juniors Karmen Gray and Brenda Page of Mid­ dleville along with senior Duska Morawski of Maple Valley. Even though Delton and Lakewood dominated the term, when individual talent is mentioned the discussion has to begin with the machine-like Atkinson, who averaged 25.J points, 11.4 rebounds, 2.4 steals and 2 assists per game. In addition, Atkinson hit a phenomenal 60 percent 1190-of-316) of her field goal attempts and 80 percent (154-of-191) of her free throw attempts. Atkinson, whose sister Paula was a threeyear starter at Hastings, was a second team all-Twin Valley pick a year ago. and if she isn't among the top five players in the league this year Hastings should pull out of the conference. Bromley and Baker were integral parts of the Panther cage team which won 19 of 21 games. A two-time all-KVA pick, Bromley averaged 16.7 points per game while also serving up 69 assists, 93 steals and 180 rebounds. Like Atkinson, Bromley was an out­ standing shooter hitting STd percent (122-of240) of her field goal attempts and 81 percent <73-of-90) from the charity stripe. Baker, the Panthers’ 5-7 sparkplug guard, is another two-time all-KVA pick. She averaged 10.8 points, 4.6 assists, 5.3 steals, and 7 rebounds per game. Price and Wilcox led Lakewood to a runnerup finish in the tough Capital Circuit and a district championship. Price is no stranger to select basketball teams. The 5-8 guard is a two-year starter, an all-Tri River pick and scoring champ last year, and a member of the 1983 all-county girls basketball team. Prior to the regionals, Price is averaging 11.5 points per game, but is especially tough when the game is on the line She also set a school record for steals (73) and leads the team with 69 assists. Wilcox is another Viking two-year let­ terman who was the team’s leading rebounder < 162) and averaged 8.9 points per game. Wilcox, a second team Capital Circuit all-leaguer, added 60 assists and picked up 36 steals. Heading the second team are Delton's Lelo and Lakewood's Roth. Leto averaged 10.8 points while adding 71 assists, 96 steals, and 47 rebounds. Roth chipped in 10.2 points and 7.8 rebounds to Lakewood's balanced team and was named honorable mention on the Capital Circuit team. Gray and Page led Middleville, 12-9, to the best girls basketball record in the school's history* ■ Gray, a top-notch catcher in softball, scored 159 points, had 49 steals, contributed 60 assists, and grabbed 76 rebounds. Page led the O-K Blue in rebounding (14.6 per game), added 60 steals, and averaged 6.2 points per game. Morawski was named to the 1984 SM AA all­ league team and was a three-year starter for the Lions. The team's Lest ball-handler. Morawski averaged 9.2 points. 5 rebounds. 3 assists and 3 steals per game for the Lions.

Middleville eagers hope to move up in O-K Blue race Gone are the heady days of Trojan cage teams teams possessing the talent to scrap its way to the semi-finals of the Mate tour­ nament. Those times have been replaced by the more ordinary days of simply trying to sneak up a few notches in the O-K Blue standings. And according to the philosophy of Trojan Coach Skip Pranger, there's no sense wallowing about in third or fourth place in conference standings. Any team of his may as well shoot for the top. "Our first goal is to win the conference — you have to start with that,” says Pranger, whose team compiled a so-so 11-11 mark last winter. Todo that the Trojans must first find a way to bypass defending league and state Class C champ Hamilton, which will field a frontline that averages about 6-7. "They have to be the frontrunners.

Pranger says the combination of size and experience blends together well on his team. "Our bigger people (Miller, Karel, and Schwartz) are the ones with experience,’’ says Pranger. “The key then, is how the other people come along, how they fit in, and what they can do for us." Unfortunately, that’s about as far the Trojan's experience goes. There is very little experience returning, for instance, to the guard positions. "I don’t want to use the word weak, but we’re inexperienced there," says Pranger. As far as other strengths, the veteran Trojan mentor believes his team should be able to play some stiff defense this winter. "With the extra week of practice coaches have spent more lime on defense," says Pranger. "We’ll have to play good defense. We always try to be in the top two or three defensive teams in the league."

Everyone has a job to do and they have to do it.” Supplying the most help to Brown will be fellow seniors Mike Shaw (5-10) at guard and Mike Matthews (6-3) at forward. Shaw started at one guard position last year while Matthews is a two-year starter. Other seniors who should help, in fact who are the keys to the team's success, are forwards Rob Olson (6-5), Jeff Arnold (6-3), and Mike McLean (6-4) and guard Dave Flood (5-7). At least a couple of those players saw considerable action off the bench last year, but what's even more important is their much-needed size. "That's good size for us compared to what we've been like in the past," says O'Mara of tlte trio of Olson, Arnold and McLean. Newcomers include junior guards Nick Willison and Andy Jenkins and forward Steve McVey. As usual on any O’Mara-coached team, the importance of defense and rebounding are made crystal clear to the players. And at this T Godwin Hamilton Byron Canto. Wayland KoUoggsvUlo Calodonia Lowott Comstock Park Godwin Hamilton Dolton Byron Cantor Moplo Valloy Kolloggsvillo Dolton Calodonia Districts , Rogionals Quarter Finals Finals have the experience to win,” says Pranger. Next in line in a very balanced O-K Blue would come Byron Center, Caledonia and newcomer Godwin. Pranger says a suc­ cessful season for his rather youthful group would be finishing in front of those three teams. "That’s a legitimate goal," notes Pranger. "Certainly nobody will go through the league undefeated.” If Middleville is going to challenge Hamilton or one of the other trio of afore­ mentioned teams the Trojans’ experienced and rather large frontline will have to shine. Heading the frontline is senior Steve Miller, a three-year lettermen and a member of the Trojan semi-finalist team of two years. The 6-3 Miller, a fine outside shooter, averaged nearly 15 points per game last year and was an honorable mention O-K Blue and all-Barry County performer. Joining Miller on the frontline will be a pair of returning 6-5 seniors, Tom Schwartz and Dave Karel. Other returning letterwinners include senior guards Mike Newhouse (5-11), Jeff The team possesses a bonafide all-stater, decent enough experience, and size — all the qualities a championship-caliber high school basketball team needs. In fact, most of the coaches in the league pick the squad as the odds-on title favorite. Considering all that, you’d think the team's coach would be breathing fire. Well, not exactly fire. Mere like slightly heated wind. “I don't know if we're in the driver’s seat," says Hastings Coach Denny O'Mara when asked of the Saxons' Twin Valley title hopes. "I do think we’re as competitive as any team in the league. But that's without playing a game so it’s tough to say. "We'll be a respectable basketball team." Any team with all-stater Mark Brown on it may not automatically be in the driver's seat, but it can’t be far away. The 6-0 senior guard averaged 36.7 points per game last year and has pumped in 1,812 points in his outstanding career. Naturally Brown is the catalyst for the Saxons, but O’Mara said a Twin Valley title won't be won or lost solely on the talents of Brown. “He's not going to make this team by Ponnfiold Quod, al Forosl Hills MiddlovlIJo Inv.

Picture the Delton basketball team as a splintered jigsaw puzzle with several of the pieces now living in Florida. Living in Florida? Sound confusing? Then you’ve probably just defined the state of mind of second year Panther cage coach Paul Blacken. What was once a promising season now has turned into a potentially lor« and bleak winter for Blacken and the Delton basketball team. Jim Meade, a 68 center who likely would have been a force to be reckoned w ith, and Shannon McWilliams, the jayvee team's leading scorer, have moved to Florida, leaving the team fatally shorthanded. Left from a surprising team that compiled a 17-6 record and notched a district title are one starter and 7 other lettermen with little experience. Undaunted, Blacken says he will enjoy his second year at Delton. “I found that there are a lot of quality people here," said Blacken of his initial year on the Delton beat. “I think we'll have a whole team that when the chips are down, they’ll come through." Heading the list of Blacken’s quality people is senior Steve Tuin. The 6-5 forward, who has cleaned more backboards than Windex. averaged 16 points ner game last year and was named to the all-KVA and all­ Barry County teams. "He's an awfully good player," said Blacken of Tuin. “Last year he was surrounded by talent and didn't have to dominate. This year he will." Assisting Tuin will be senior returnees Wayne Bourdo <5-9) and Steve Monroe (5-10) at guards and Remmon Baker (6-3), Norm O’Meara (6-1), Greg Sutton (6-2), Chris McDonald (6-1) and Kyle Aukerman (6-1) at the forwards. Newcomers that could see playing time are juniors Don Ringler (6-2 forward), Tony Finn (5-10 guard), Doug Blesch (5-9 guard) and Marc Hatton (5-9 guard) and sophomore Shawn O’Mara (64, 200-pound center). Blacken admits the lack of experience to go along with Tuin may be a killer. “I think all the seniors being here will help. It's just that they haven't had playing time," said Blacken. The Kalamazoo Valley Association can be easily analized this winter: Kalamazoo Christian. The purple and gold Comets won the 1984 state Class C title two years ago and were runnersup a year ago. Christian returns three of its top players including 7-6 center J.P. Oosterbaan, who is headed to the University of Michigan next fall. “They’re even stronger this year," sighs Blacken. “I would have thought with Mc­ Williams and Meade we would have had a shot at beating them, but now I don't know.” The rest of the league, in all honesty, could be fighting for second place. That group includes Kalamazoo Hackett, GalesburgAugusta and probably Delton. "There are a lot of schools that are even after Christian,” says Blacken. "The league isn’t particularly strong this year." Because of that, Blacken has no intention of writing off 19G4-85 as a proverbial "building year." “We can still be a fine club, but everybody has to know their ruche," says Blacken �The Hastings Banner— Thursday, Lions set sights on another title As if it wasn't hard enough the first time around, heaven only knows how hard it’ll be this time. Never-the-less. nothing short of a second straight Southern Michigan Athletic Association baskethall crown would satisfy the 1984-85 Maple Valley cage team. A distinct possibility? Perhaps, says veteran Maple Valley Coach Jerry Reese, who does realize any kind of championship is usually more elusive the second lime around. "It depends on the material," says Reese. "1 feel everything is relative. Last year we were fortunate some teams helped us out. This year everyone wil be going for us. “We’re just looking forward to doing our best” Last year the Lions, considered by some “experts" as loo small, clawed and scrat­ ched their way to 12-8 overall and 10-2 SMAA records. Returning from that team are 10 of 12 players including three starters. Heading the list is 5-8 senior guard Jeff Hamilton, an easy all-league and all-Barry County selection. Hamilton averaged 19.7 points per game and is the key to the Lion offense. Joining Hamilton as key returnees are seniors Kurt Hartenburg (6-1 forward), Ryan Trowbridge (6-0 forward), Greg I^nz <6-3 forward) and Gary Reid (5-9 guard). Other senior returnees include Jim Benit (6-1 forward), Shan Ferrier 16-0 guard), Terry Hall (F-1 forward), Alan Mater (6-4 center) and Jim Symonds (5-7 guard). Juniors who have made the Lion varsity are 'like Siple (6-2 center) and Bob Mc­ Millen (5-2 guard). Reese says for that group of players to repeat is no snap assignment. "We’re going to lake this step by step," says Reese. "We feel good about being picked by league coaches to repeat but we also realize all the teams are going to be ready to play against us every night We cannot afford to enter a game unprepared. "We will be trying to make it as difficult as possible to be beaten and make sure we do not beat ourselves.” Reese said the SMAA should be tougher than a year ago — largely because of ex- be bolstered by a talented group of juniors that compiled an 18-2 record at the jayvee le el a year ago. Bellevue features probable all-leaguer Tim Critchlow while Pennfield will possess a fine backcourt, says Reese. "Everybody has good size and good players overall," notes Reese. Translated, that means championships are harder the second lime around.

Young Lakewood eagers looking forward to first year in Capital Circuit T H H T H T H H T T T H T T T H T H H Even when Lakewood hops outside the Capita] Circuit for a ballgame, there will be trouble. “Our non-league schedule is one of the tougher we've ever played,” says Maciasz. Heading the Capital Circuit is Okemos, which has won the league 14 of the last 17 years. Two of those years, 1982 and 1983, the Chieftains won back-to-back state Class B titles. Only an arm’s length behind Okemos, says Maciasz. are Lansing Catholic Central, Mason and possibly Eaton Rapids. Maciasz isn’t sure where his team fits in that group. “I really don't know,” he says. "I don’t know what to expect. We’ve only played Okemos and Charlotte before." What Maciasz does know is he’ll build around a pair of seniors in guard Mike Smith, an excellent scorer, and frontliner Ed Wondergem. a fine rebounder. Smith averaged in double figures a year ago while Wondergem averaged 7 rebounds per game. Other returnees include junior Bill Barker, a starter al guard last year, and Brian DELTON-KELLOGG 8:00 7:30 8:00 8:00 BOO 7.30 BOO 7 30 8 00 7 30 7 30 7:30 7 30 8 00 7 30 8 00 7 30 8 00 7 30 BOO Friddle, who could see some playing time spelling Smith and Barker. Promising newcomers include sophomores Shawn O'Mara (6-4, 195-pound center) and Brian Potter (6-3 forward) and juniors Kevin Shellenbarger (6-5 forward) and Scott Eaststep (6-3 forward). Maciasz likes the size of those youngsters. “We’re gonna have some size," says Maciasz. "It depends on who we start. We could start a tall and slow lineup or we could be smaller and quicker." What Maciasz doesn’t like and what will decide the success or failure of the season is the lack of experience. "We’re going to make some mistakes, but hopefully we ll mature and gel better as we go along," Maciasz says, fingers crossed. “But it’s a positive group of kids and that’s one of the aspects of this team I like. They know they’ll have to work hard to accomplish anything in this league." Pope Washer Appliances 6 Vacuums Sales & Service 505 W. Apple Hastings, Michigan Lewis Realty Barry Cleaners 140 W.

Jefferson Street Hastings, Michigan maple valley Looking at Lakewood’s 1984-85 basketball schedule is like drifting along on a raft square in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean. It doesn’t matter what direction you look, there’s no relief in sight. For starters, Lakewood has left the sanc­ tuary of the Tri River Conference — a good league but one that docs not match the basketball quality of Lakewood's new league, the Capital Circuit. Secondly, the Vikings' non-league schedule is tough as nails with Greenville, last year’s Tri River champ; Hastings and Delton, runnerups up in the Twin Valley and KVA; and Ionia and Waverly, also excellent basketball schools. All hurled against a young Lakewood team which compiled a less-than-thrilling 7-14 mark a year ago. ’There is no comparison," says Lakewood head coach Mike Maciasz of the new league. "The Capital Circuit is definitely a better caliber of ball. I think it’ll make our players better because they know now they'll have to work in the off-season. In this league kids work more in the off-season." Wren Funeral Home Rodee’s 911 W.

Hatting* RemWer, and the Mapfa VaNey Nev* Middleville will rebuild Coaches traditionally use the term the year after truckloads of seniors have departed their respective teams. “We're gonna have to rebuild," say the coaches, shaking their heads and remem­ bering the talented seniors they’ve lost. Tom Lehman is such a coach. The veteran Middleville wrestling mentor lost 8 starters, including 5 20-match winners, from a fine Trojan team that went a school record 17-4, won tournaments and finished second in !wo others. Left this winter is some measure of talent. but matching 17-4 may be as difficult as driving down a snowy expressway blind­ folded. Regardless, Lehman is confident his team will still produce its share of wins. "We’ll be fair in the low weights, but we don't have much experience in the upper weights," says Lehman.

Lakewood faces tough Capital Circuit line-up The Capital Circuit wrestling circle is by no means a haven for the meak, mild or crippled. It most certainly isn't the place for 2-10 teams with only 8 lettermen returning. And it’s not like anybody need offer that fact to Lakewood firsl-year wrestling coach Ron Veitch ..he already knows. Veitch brings a long wrestling history to his position as Viking head coach. A 1976 Lake wood graduate, Veitch started the three-year old Lakewood Wrestling Club. He wrestled two years at Grand Rapids Junior College before attending Western Michigan, where he accepted the chores of an assistant coach. As he wrestler Veitch participated in the Pan Am Games in 1978. Veitch realizes his firs? year at the helm of the varsity job will be made more difficult because of Lakewood's entrance into the powerful Capita] Circuit. “It’s one of the better leagues in the state," says Veitch of the Capital Circuit "We’re looking forward to the season because if we want to get better we have to compete against teams like these." Teams like "these" include Eaton Rapids, runnerup in Class B a year ago. Teams like Mason, Charlotte, and Dewitt, which traditionally wrestle extremely well outside the league. Veitch admits it will not be easy lo finish in the top half of the Capital Circuit standings. “We’re yoimg," Veitch points out. "We have a good foundation from which to build; we have a good group of freshmen comin in. There is always at least one factor on the positive side when a coach chooses to play a young team: the year after. Despite compiling only a 4-8 record last winter, Maple Valley wrestling Coach Chris Ricketts returns five key seniors and a junior this season. Three of the six had excellent won-loss records a year ago. Heading the list is senior Ken Trumble at 112. Trumble, who compiled an outstanding 30-15 mark, finished sixth in the state in Class C. Two other senior Lion wrestlers, John Forell at 155 and Pat Resseguie at heavyweight, had fine 17-12 and 21-10 records respectively in 1983-84. Rounding out the list of returnees are Signs Tire Service Scott's Party Barn JC Penney, Inc. 235 S.

Michigan Hastings, Michigan Koops Chapel Lake Odessa, Woodland and Clarksville Which is enough to lead any sane person to believe Delton might be in for its best-ever Wrestling season. Maybe, says Heethuis. "I don't know. There arc question marks," he says. "We'll be a good wrestling team that will do good things. 1 can't say how good." On the negative side, Delton did lose three 30-match winners from that 19-0 team. Heethuis says those people will have to be replaced. The list of newcomers includes sophomore Rod Morris at 98, freshman Craig Haven at 112 and senior Rod Bloomberg at 198. Since the Kalamazoo Valley Association disbanded wrestling Delton has been forced lo schedule other schools — many of them league champions. This year's slate includes 16 dates, 13 of which are on the road. Heading the list of tourneys are the Pennfield, Middleville and Wayland Invitationals. Also listed are the Harper Creek and Hastings tournaments where Delton will be defending titles. “Its a very tough schedule," admits Heethuis. "It should be interesting." Maple Valley wrestlers hope to better on 4-8 record of last winter’s season 1602 S. Hanover Hastings, Michigan Corner of State and Broadway Hastings, Michigan Rob Heethuis has a problem just about any other wrestling coach in the state would like to be saddled with: How do you improve on a 194) record? The Delton wrestling coach, who nearly didn't retain the varsity wrestling reigns because of his commitment to Panther football, may be very glad he stuck around come March. Heethuis, whose team won 19 straight matches in addition to 5 of 6 tournaments, returns 9 lettermen — all extremely talen­ ted. That list is undoubtedly headed by senior Dan Tobin, who won the Class B 155-pound weight class last winter. Tobin compiled a fantastic 42-1 mark. He's joired by state qualifiers Ted Engle at either 105 or 112 and Rocky Anaya at 119 or 126. Other returnees include Joe Blesch at 112, Glen Hayward at 119, Todd Pasick at 132 or 138, captain Jeff Neeley at 145 or 155, Todd Haven al 145 or 155 and Ken Nickerson at heavyweignt. Engle picked up 38 wins a year ago. Haven 36, Hayward 35. Neeley 27. and Blesch 19. Continued on page 14 Cappon Oil Co. National Bank of Hastings Kensington was 28-13 last year. Case 24-13, and Douglas 21-17. Junior returnees include Floyd Gates at 145. Lyle Gross at 167. Archie Leatherman at 138. Mike Sherry at 132. and Wade Endsley at 132. Gates was 19-10 last year while Leatherman, a tri-captain. was 21-13. The two sophomores include Randy Planck at 112 and Rob Redman at either ’26 or 132. Furrow cites the lack of experience at 98. 1(6. 119 and 126 as potential problems. "But there is talent there." he adds. "There is only one class that I am concerned with We definitely have the talent for the kids to fill in." The stronger classes include 145-167, says Furrow. Also with three lettermen at 132, that class is strong. “There are areas we have to work on," says Furrow. "We have youngsters instead of veterans al some spots and we’ll have to get them to wrestle varsity in a hurry." As for the Twin Valley, Furrow looks first to defending champion Sturgis. He calls the Trojans a good young team and expects the Twin Valley title to be decided between them. Lakeview and possibly Hillsdale. “The coaches feel we have the edge but I don’t know,” admits Furrow. "They say we were the team to beat at the end of last season. We’ll see."

Puktiifcin ef the Halting* leeer, Dave Furrow is trying to lie low-key about the chances of his 1984-85 Hastings wrestling team, but still, some of his revealing answers lead to a few conclusions. For example, the longtime Saxon coach was asked exactly how good this team. 11-3 last year with 13 lettermen returning, could be. 'll could lx? as good as any I've had here except probably the undefeated team in 197677,” answers Furrow **|f they work hard and improve, lhey could be unbeaten " Furrow, however. doesn't want to list an undefeated season as the No. I priority of the team. "We want to do the best we can." he says. "That's all I ask." With 6 seniors. 5 juniors and 2 sophomores returning, one thing Furrow does know is that the future is now. If the 1976-77 season is ever going to be duplicated, it could be this year. The team will be headed by three-year senior letterman and , tri-captain Dave Kensington at either 185 or 198, two-year lettermen Mark Case at 18a, Jon Douglas at heavyweight and Bill Pelfrey at either 155 or 167. Other returning seniors include Tim Schoessel at 112 and Bob Forbes at 155. Senior Tony Heath at 145 isn't a letterman, but is one of the team's co-captains. senior Dean Stewart at 138, Scott Villanueva a regional qualifer at 198, and Robert Browne at 167. Lion coach Chris Ricketts says he is ex­ pecting marked improvement from his team this winter “If we stay healthy and fill a couple of weight classes we should have a good year,” says Ricketts. “Anything can happen.” Ricketts says the team will be dominated by seniors — the days of building, of pointing to the future are at an end. "A lot of these kids have been together four years,” says Ricketts. "They would like a league championship and will work very hard for it." To grab a league championship the team will have to come up with some talented kids in the lighter weights. "Definitely it's the first year we haven't had good young kids, but we do have ex­ perience down there this time," says Ricketts. He cites newcomers Andy Finkler at 119 and Tim Imes at 112 as keys to the lighter weights. As for the heavier weight classes, Ricketts points to Resseguie, Villanueva, and sophomore Drew Pixley as the keys. "Those weight classes could be the best we’ve ever had here," r-dmits Ricketts. - Member FDIC - Hastings Office Supply Grape Vine and Hastings Press Inc. 152W.

The participants were invited to attend the Congress’ technical sessions and committee meetings and to take part in visits to in­ dustrial and research facilities, where they were encouraged to talk with as many practicing engineers as possible. The main feature of the award program was a visit to Douglas Aircraft Company, where the participants attended specialized tours and sessions that demonstrated and discussed new engineering techniques. Participation in the program provides broad understanding of current industry practices, demands and responsibilities from talking with the practicing engineers. The professors can then use theory and "real-world" guidelines and hints to help better prepare their students for work as engineers. Brumm was selected from among 128 other highly qualified individuals nationwide who were considered for the award.

Members of Kilpatrick United Brethren Church enjoyed carpeting in the basement of the building on Sunday morning during the coffee and cookie fellowship between church and Sunday School. The carpeting had been laid on Wednesday of the preceeding week by Jerry Yonkers and Darwin Thompson. The basement was freshly painted before the carpeting was laid; so the basement is warmer and brighter for winter meetings and dinners. The adult Sunday School classroom also has a new carpet. Kendal Coals, formerly ofCoats Grove and now of Benson, Arizona, had a severe stroke in mid-November. His sister, Doris Nielhamer flew to Arizona before? Thanksgiving and was met by family members.

Doris spent a week in Benson and while she was there, she ctlebrated Thanksgiving with Kendal's wife, Margaret. Harold and Nell Stannard telephoned Kendal's home on Thanksgiving day from California as they had learned about his illness when they went through Arizona on their way to spend Thanksgiving with their children in the Los Angeles area. They were surprised to find Doris was there and talkec with her. Later, Doris went to the home of Max and Grace at Apache Junction where she stayed for three days and visited with other Woodland area people who now live there including Mr. and Mrs. Darwin McClelland, Mr. and Mrs. Leon Stearns and Mr. and Mrs. Eston Everett. On Tuesday after Thanksgiving Doris went to the Phoenix Airport where she happened to meet Bob and Virginia Crockford, and they relumed to Michigan on the same place.

The Crockfords spent several days with Dr. Douglas Bonn and June Bonn before flying home on the same flight as Doris Niethamer. Mrs. Bonn is Mr. Crockford's sister. Helga Ellison is out of Pennock Hospital where she spent ten days in the Intensive Care Unit during her nearly two weeks of hospitalization.

Cliff Mattson returned to Woodland last week from his Thanksgiving trip to Cypress, California where he enjoyed a family reunion with his sons, Gary and Mike Mattson and their families and his sister, Sharon JaJonie and her family. Cliff and twelve of his family were able to get into the Johnny Carson show on Friday while he was in California, and he has a copy of the tape of the show which he enjoyed attending.

In that respect, it will probably help the working people and people with earned income as opposed to people with invested income.” James Toburen. secretary treasurer of Fiexfab. Inc.: (Commenting on depreciation changes for industry). "The proposed depreciation changes obviously divert cash from the taxpayer to the government and I am against that. Of more concern is the fact that the government is constantly changing the rules. We cannot properly plan our long­ term future when the rules are being changed every two years. Give us a set of rules to work with for the next ten or 15 years and we ll work within them.” Toburen said that while the tax proposals, if adopted may not change plans of in­ dustries, they will make the assumptions tliat those plans were based on wrong. "We've made plans thinking that there Roger Dennis Bibbier. Saranac, was sentenced '■» three months in the Barry County Jail and five years probation for joyriding.

The elimination of deductions for interest on mortgage payments would definitely have an affect on (he real estate industry. There's a lot of investors qpl (here who use rental properties and that sort of thing for deduc­ tions to shelter their income. If they lost that shelter advantage, it definitely would affect real estate sales. For a builder it's the same thing, particularly with building apartment buildings or two-family units that people would invest in for the purposes of sheltering.

Lakewood wrestling, continued If they stay with the program we’ll be all right. "If we could finish fifth I’d be happy." Mostly, though. Veitch will have to rely on experience namely fourth-year lettermen Mike Myers at heavyweight and John Maurer at 155. Those two along with sophomore William Carr at 98. who compiled Classifieds Sell! a fine 23-9 mark last year, make up the nucleus of the squad. Other returnees include sophomores Keith Russell at 112 and Royal Shilton at 185 juniors Lee Mattrice at 126, Royal Ainsworth at 138 and Jeff Gibbs at 119. Newcomers include Wayne Bigelow at 105, Matt Pugh at 119, Kevin Durkee at 132. Scott Herrington at 145, Jason Moore at 167, Dave Rowland at 185. Gone are five starters, four of which who won 20 or more matches. Veitch says replacing them will be difficult.

"We don’t expect to be real good, but we have some good wrestlers,” says Lehman. "They will get better as we go along." Lehman tabs defending champ Hamilton as the team to beat in the O-K Blue.

Freeport man’s death accidental A Freeport man who was found dead in his home Saturday morning bled to death from a cut inflicted in an ac­ cidental fall through a gun cabinet door, said Barry County sheriff deputies. Deputies report that Charles Baldry, 36,12S Irving Street, was last seen alive in his bouse trailer at 8 p.m. Friday. Freeport Police Chief Michael Lesick said Baldry apparently fell asleep, and woke up alone later that night, and while walking in the dark fell through the glass door of a gun cabinet. Lesick said a piece of glass, triangular in shape and measuring about three inches to a side, entered the victim’s back. Lesick said he discovered the piece of glass under the gun cabinet Lesick said wbr. police arrived at about 11 a.m. Saturday, they found a trail of blood leading from the living area of the trailer, down a hallway to the bathroom. Lesick said the greatest concentration of blood was discovered around a telephone. Baldry was found lying face up in the bathtub. “It appears be bled to death from the cut to his back," said Lesick. "There was extensive blood loss." Deputy injured in traffic mishap A Barry County Sheriff Department deputy was hospitalized for injuries he received Thursday after his cruiser struck another car broadside at an intersection in Maple Grove Township. Deputy William C. Johnson, 34, was hospitalized for one day in Pennock Hospital with broken ribs, cuts and bruises. The accident occurred at about 9:20 p.m. at the comer of Barryville and Lawrence Roads. Johnson was discharged Friday. According to troopers at the Michigan State Police team in Hastings, Johnson was westbound on Lawrence Road, when a southbound vehicle, driven by Sam H. Miller, 18, Barryville Road, reportedly ran a stop sign and was struck on the left side by the cruiser. Both cars were forced off the road, to a point southwest of the intersection. Miller, who was wearing a seatbelt, escaped serious injury. Deputy Johnson was reportedly not belted at the time of the crash. Miller received a ticket for failure to yield to a stop sign.

Ralph Townsend of Woodland, a member of the Barry County Paace Circle, was arrested by police when he violated a per­ manent injunction against trespassing at Williams International, a leading engine manufacturer for cruise missies. Townsend pleaded guilty in the 52nd District Court to charges of obstructing the plant entrance and trespassing. He is currently lodged in the Oakland County jail. According to Jim and Beatrice Pino of Nashville, six members of the Barry County Peace Circle were among 800 people who attended a prayer virgil on Dec. 2 at Williams. The six members attending were Ralph and Mildred Townsend of Woodland, James Shattell of Delton, Edward Stapler of Lacey and the Pinos. According the Pinos, the following day Townsend, along with 12 other members of various anti-nuclear groups, blocked the entrance to Williams and were subsequently arrested. All pleaded guilty and were fined $100, released on personal recognizance, and told to appear at a hearing Dec. 4. After the hearing the 13 were told to appear Dec. 7 for sentencing. The 13 were sentences by circuit judge Francis O'Brien to either a jail term or public service with the Salvation Army. According to the Pinos, 12 of the 13 protestors refused the public service, saying they were already performing a public service by protesting Williams In­ ternational's involvement in the nuclear arms race. The protest came on the first anniversary ofa similar effort in which Townsend and the Rev. Pamela Owens, firmer pastor of the Woodgrove Christian Parish in Coats Grove, were arrested. Final court hearings are still pending on those charges. Jim Pino said the goal of the protesters was to focus the attention of the general public upon the issue of ending the nuclear arms race. "The idea is if more people are aware of what is going on they will be more supportive of demonstrations like these," said Pino, who claims Williams International has resisted all efforts of peace groups to discuss the escalating nuclear arms race. Mrs. Pino said demonstrations like the one on Dec. 3 attract the attention of legislators who wonder why people are being arrested and sentenced to jail. "We'll be satisfied if this sparks some kind of dialogue with either Williams, law en­ forcement officials or legislators," said Mrs. Pino. The Barry County Peace Circle was for­ med last March and currently has 22 members from across Barry County. It is concerned, said the Pinos, with eliminating the potential of nuclear war, reducing the defense budget and getting the United States and Soviet Union to at least disciut the possibility of nuclear war. The cirde holds monthly meetings at the Grace Lutheran Church on North Street in Hastings. In the past the circle has distributed leaflets and shown movies on the effects of a nuclear holocaust. Neighbors don’t want tavern back Residents of the S. Hanover Street area presented a petition to city council Monday night which stated objection to the reopening of a bar in their neighborhood. The petition over Joe’s Bar, 1624 S. Hanover, called the tavern “detrimental to the health and well being of residents." The tavern is currently closed and the owner, Joe Labazetta of Grand Rapids, has filed for bankruptcy. The petition contained 104 signatures, 60 of which are from the immediate neigh­ borhood. Hal Olsen, 1608 S. Hanover, told the council it is not necessary for a bar to be located in the neighborhood.

Monday, when they sang for the annual joint meeting of the Hastings Rotary and Kiwanis Clubs. The clubs met at Leason Sharpe Memorial Hall. The choir will entertain at many club meetings, local nurs­ ing homes, and at Pennock Hospital in the final weeks before Christmas. City Hall enters computer age by Ken Reibel Hastings government leaped into the computer age Monday night when the city council voted to spend $56,751 for the pur­ chase of IBM computer equipment. The new hardware includes a large, central computer for $31,220, a computer work station for $1,400, two printers for $11,648, and nine monitors for $12,483. Council also approved the purchase of a software package worth $3,780. The computer package is financed at 10 percent interest, over a five year period, bringing the total cost to over $70,000. Ken Miller, finance committee chairman, said the Hty saved about 30 percent off the retail pi .-e. He said the computers could be delivered in four to six weeks. City Clerk Sharon Vickery said the new system will be very helpful in sorting payroll, city taxes, water bills and voter registration. “Right now it takes a deputy clerk all morning and part of the afternoon to do the city's payroll." said Vickery. “Each payroll card has to be separated and handled four times. 1 understand that with the new computer, the process should lake about two hours." Marcie LaBelle, city clerk for the City of Coldwater, said she is very pleased with the IBM System 34 her city council installed three years ago LaBelle said there are "msny ap­ plications" for the system, including keeping track of the city's investments, retirement and social security benefits for city em­ ployees, taxes, payroll and accounting. In addition, Coldwater, a city uf some 9,500, recently tapped its police and fire departments into the system. LaBelle said the system will "pay,for it­ self" in five years because the city can now bill its garbage services by itself. “We were farming out our garbage billing for $1,800 a month. Now we can do it ourselves more efficiently, and save money,” she said. LaBelle said it now takes "10 or 15 minutes" for her office to print checks, after the Coldwater City Council approves the bills. LaBelle said there has not been a decrease in the city's clerical work force in the past three years due to the modernization. In­ stead, her office, which consists of three assistants, can now take on more assign­ ments, such as mailing absentee ballot applications to senior citizens and han­ dicapped persons in the city before all primary and general elections. Hastings Mayor William Cook said the city was almost to the point of hiring new help or expanding the filing system al city hail. The computers, he said, will take care of all that. “The city will obviously benefit by in­ creasing productivity." he said. “The clerks were having trouble getting all their work down in the amount of time allotted to them. The computer should be a big help." Cook said the new system will make possible monthly billing of water bills, something the council has been eyeing for a long time. He said computers will help the city to assess property more equitably. by Ken Reibel The attorney for KAV-Co. said in court Wednesday that the company cannot meet its clean-up obligations, and will file for bankruptcy by the end of the week. KAV4?o„ a Kalamazoo-based consortium of refuse haulers, faces a disclosure of its finances, including any transfer of assets out of the corporation over the last two years, if the company does not go through with those plans. Barry-Eaton Circuit Court Judge Hudson E. Deming ordered KAV-Co. back into court this Friday al 1:30 p.m., unless papers are filed. If they are. then proceedings must shift to Federal Bankruptcy Court, away from the state courts. Lloyd Yenner, KAV-Co. attorney from Kalamazoo, told the court the company is broke, and cannot afford the multi-million dollar clean-up which Judge Deming ordered Sept. 4. That clean-up includes constructing an impermeable clay cover over the com­ pany's 80-acre landfill site in Prairieville Township, and installation of monitor and purge wells. "The company officers decided there is only one route to follow, to file bankruptcy," Yenner told the court. The attorney general maintains that 16 chemicals have entered underlying groundwater and nearby residental wells. Lawyers for the state say KAV-Co. has been negligent in its maintenance of the landfill, and that the soils under the site are un­ suitable for dumping. Gary Hicks, ass:stant attorney general for the Slate of Michigan, could not say what the slate's options are if bankruptcy is Tiled. "That is something I will have to research further," he said. Slate attorneys are currently keeping an eye on a pair of higher court cases involving landfills and bankruptcy. According to a stale attorney, there is “a split of authority" on whether a company can be relieved of its "environmental duties" through bankrupt­ cy. One such case, heard by the U.S. Supreme Court last October, Ohio v. Kovacs, deals with a 6lh U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals ruling that a company's duties to clean up a landfill can be discharged through bankruptcy. "Bankruptcy is a problem we may see more and more of in the landfill area," said Attorney Kevin Smith of the state attorney general's office. “Treating problem landfills is expensive." Smith said his office is also keeping an eye on another case involving landfills and bankruptcy. PennTerra v. The Com­ monwealth of Pennsylvania, in which the 3rd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals reached a conclusion opposite to 6th Circuit s. “The 3rd Circuit said that actions against a landfill to force clean up arc not dischargable under bankruptcy," said Smith. "The court tries to distinguish itself from Gth Circuit, but in reality there is very little distinction between the two cases...Basically, the 3rd Circuit has reached the opposite conclusion of the 6th Circuit.” The suite's attorney general sued KAV-Co. in Barry Circuit Court in July over the firm's alleged pollution of groundwater in the Lake Doster area. During a week of testimony, the state presented health and environmental experts who claimed a hydrological con­ nection between the groundwaters beneath the dump, and the waters under the homes. In his ruling. Judge Deming stated that the waler supply downgradient of the landfill has been degraded by both organic and inorganic chemicals, and “That the source of this' groundwater degradation is the KAV-Co. landfill." However, Deming did not impose civil fines and penalties on the landfill owners, slating that it would be "inequitable to im­ pose such a burden in addition to remedial measures", meaning the wells and the im­ permeable clay cover. Deming also noted that KAV-Co. did not deliberately pollute the groundwaters, a further reason for not imposing civil fines. Health officials say it is important to cap the KAV-Co. landfill as soon as possible to prevent more chemicals from seeping into the groundwaters. State health experts have identified 15 organic and inorganic compounds in test wells near the dump, many of which they have linked to cancer, birth defects and other ailments. The KAV-Co. story goes back 10 years, when area residents first started com­ plaining about odors, fires, and improper surface management at the landfill, located in the extreme southwest corner of Barry County. However, it wasn't until 1978 that KAVCo.'s legal problems started, when ground­ water samples collected from on site monitoring wells indicated that the landfill may be affecting the aquifer. A show-cause hearing followed in February. 1979, and the DNR formally denied the company a license application. Three months later, KAV-Co. officials Continued on Page 2 Joyce Morgan, clerk in the city’s water department, operates the L8000 Burroughs magnetic ledger machine, which will soon be replaced by a modern IBM computer system at city hall. �Page 2— The Hastings Bonner - Thursday. December 13. 1984 VIEWPOINT: Commentaries from our editorial staff and the community — EDITORIAL Community compassion tells in United Way, charities At a time while our neighboring city of Battle Creek is fretting over a big shortfall in its United Way drive and a 25 percent reduction in agency budgets for next year, Hastings can celebrate the fact that its United Way drive again exceeded its goal. Nearly every year since the United Way drive started, the goal for local agencies has been exceeded and the agencies offering com­ munity services have remained financially healthy. In fact, the only times in recent memory when the drive did not reach its goal were during the depths of the recession when industrial employment was drastically reduced. United Way of Michigan officials, who help to coordinate local campaigns, frequently remark that Hastings stands out among drives across the state for the percentage of giving from the small population. Compassion ar.d concern for the needy and a desire to provide a good quality of life in the local community are also evident in support for other community organizations. Even before the Cnited Way drive was completed, efforts to raise funds and donations for Christmas baskets for the needy were underway. This drive has reached out to members of all of the local service clubs and other community residents — many of the same people who just made their annual pledges to the United Way. Many area churches also conduct similar food drives among their members. The Exchange Club of Hastings and the Hastings Moose Lodge are again collecting toys for needy children to guarantee that they have a Christmas present in their homes. Several other community organizations will sponsor Christmas parties for underprivileged children. Our concern and compassion are evident in the work undertaken by Love, Inc., which operates year-round, primarily with the support of local churches, to provide assistance to those in need. Volunteers and financial support have also created Hospice in the past year, an organization devoted to aiding terminally ill people and their families. While all of this has been going on, other local organizations, such as 4-H, scout groups, school groups and service clubs are continually raising funds to provide programs which maintain our high quality standard of living here. The Christmas season is a good time to reflect on our compassion and concern evident in our community. In Hastings and Barry County, it is evident that we do care. KAV-Co, continued pleaded guilty before a Barry County District Court judge to charges of improper surface management of the dump, and were fined and placed on probation for one year. During the 19605 and 1970s, sanitary land­ fills in Michigan were governed by laws which dealt mostly with the daily com­ paction and covering of refuse, and with rodent and fly infestation. However, over the last decade, public health officials became more aware of the proper ties and behavior of groundwater, and in January. 1979. the State of Michigan passed the all-encompassing Public Act 641, which deals with ground­ water contamination, and the types of soils which must be present for landfill operation. KAV-Co. has never been licensed under P.A. 641. Hastings bar never comes back,” said Olsen. "(Joe's Bar) is out of business in bankruptcy court, but that doesn't mean somebody can’t satisfy the court and reopen it," said Olsen. "This is what we don’t want to happen. We just want it plain out of the area." Olsen said bar patrons have been distur­ bing the peace, and making life on S. Hanover unpleasant. "I don’t think you can hold a bar owner responsible for when a bar patron leaves there and kicks somebody's door in, or does some vulgar thing in a front yard. Bikes » disturbing the peace, there's loud music at all hours of day and night, up until 3 a.m., and the traffic is totally unnecessary," he said. Mayor Pro-Tern David Jasperse pointed out that the Michigan Liquor Control Commission (LCC) will determine if a bar will again be licensed at that location. "I want you to be aware that the council may not be able to keep a bar from going in there again," said Jasperse. John Store, deputy director of the LCC's licensing division, said that in order for the liquor commission to issue an on-premise liquor license, the new owner must obtain local approval. However, said Store, things get more confusing if the establishment is tied up in bankruptcy court. In that case, the license can be held in receivership, and a court order could be obtained authorizing the reopening of the tavern. “In that case, the receivership is an extension of the licensee's rights," said Store. Olsen said a similar petition would be presented to the LCC. “It’s not funny any more. It's nothing to laugh at when you’re awakened at 2 or 3 in the morning with some of the things hap­ pening. It's just not funny," said Olsen. Banner] 5«nd form P.S. 3579 Io P.O. Box B {USPS 071-830) 1952 N. Broadway, P.O. Box B, Hastings, Ml 49058 Published by... J-Ad Graphics, Inc.

Monday's session was held to give the public input into a committee's review of the graduation requirements that will be presented to the Board of Education next week. The committee consisted of elementary and secondary teachers and administrators. Committee members have held previous meetings with students and parents. “With all the people you met with, they felt that one year of math was enough?" Cindy DeGoa of 505 W. Green St. asked committee members. Thomas Maurer, a high school math teacher serving on the committee, said that 71 percent of the students are currently enrolled in math, indicating that students are taking math classes because of desire, not by requirement. Currently only one year of math is required. Maurer said that there are three levels of math which begin at the freshman level, which can be developed into a four year program if a student chooses DeGoa told the committee that she is concerned about students who can't do everyday math, such as figuring mortgages, interest, taxes, percentages and story problems. She added that she feels that there is a better chance of getting this information Hastings man pleads guilty to Frantz break-in A 19-year-old Hastings man pleaded guilty in Barry Circuit Court Friday to the break-in of a local car dealership, during which time he stole a truck, and drove it through a garage door. Scott Kelley Spillane, Walnut Street, faces up to 10 years in prison when he is sentenced Dec. 21. Hastings City Police arrested Spillane Oct. 14, after a S. Hanover Street resident told police a truck had just driven over his lawn. According to police reports, Spillane had gained entrance to Frantz Buick and Chevrolet by breaking out a window on the building's west side, then drove a 1984 Chevrolet truck through a ten-foot by ten-foot garage door. Police said Spillane then proceeded north on S. Hanover, where, on the 1000 block, he jumped a curb and ran through the yards of three homes, and snapped a Michigan Bell ground wire. Officers stopped Spillane shortly af­ terward on Madison Street, where they arrested him for drunk driving and leaving the scene of a property damage accident. Spillane, who dropped out of Maple Valley High School after the 10th grade, was arrested last April for the March 24 break-in of Sign's Tire Service, and was sentenced Junel to six months in jail, with credit for 66 days, and three years probation. He was released from jail at the end of August. In exchange fo- his guilty plea, prosecutors have agreed not to pursue charges of malicious destruction of property, unlawfully driving away an automobile, being an habitual offender, and a second breaking and entering charge. Circuit Court Judge Kicnard ftl. bhuster to serve the sentence consecutive to tim? he is presently serving. Woltjer is accused of striking Corrections Officer Robert Andrus on June 2. “I’m sorry for what I did to Bob Andrus. I kind of lost control,” said Woltjer, prior to his sen­ tencing. Bryan Duane Robinson, 3S, E. Shore Drive, Delton, received 90 days in jail suspended and three years probation, for welfare fraud. Judge Shuster assessed Robinson $400 in fines and costs, and ordered him to pay restitution to the Michigan Department of Social Services of $1,329.73 for money that it is charged he obtained by false means. Fred Reed Smith, 18, 6275 E. Center Rd., pleaded guilty to attempted breaking and entering ofa building with intent to commit a felony, in connection with the Nov. 10 breakin of a Hastings service station. Smith faces ten years in prison when he is sentenced Jan. 25. Hastings City Police arrested Smith for the Nov. 10 break-in of the Zephyr Station on E. Court Street, during which time cigarettes and motor oil were stolen. Darryl Thomas Walsh, 18, 4397 Coats Grove Rd., stood mute to charges of breaking and entering of a building with the intent to commit a felony, in connection with the same break-in. The court entered pleas of not guilty for Walsh, and a Jan. 11 pre-trial date set. Smith told Judge ShiEter that he and another subject broke out a bathroom window at the gas station, and stole seven packs of cigarettes and 12 cans of motor oil.

Barry-Eaton LETTERS to the Editor: Johncock coverage gets criticized To the Editor: In answer to your article in last week's Banner. You said you welcomed letters so I'm writing to tell you why I won't subscribe tc the Banner. Apparently your paper prints only of what is of interest to the people that print the Banner. I know you have had complaints about your coverage of Gordon Johncock and his racing. One of the replys when someone complained about your coverage of Gordon's win of the Indy 500 in 1982, the answer was that it was old news by the time the Banner came out. Seeing your paper is a weekly paper, isn't almost everything you print old news? It’s a disgrace that someone as famous as Gordon coming from as small a town as this doesn't even gel coverage in the local paper. It’s not because there is not a great interest in this town, cither. Before a race, I can’t go to town without a lot of people asking about him. There area lot of people in this town that know Gordon and follow his career, but they never follow it through your paper. We had a fan club picnic in September and your paper called me and asked if they could come and cover it. The reporter came, he asked if he could take some pictures of our family. I was busy at the moment and asked him if he could wait a few minutes. I got busy and forgot about it and when I looked for him, he was gone. No story was ever put in the paper. Someone just asked me about it the other day. They said they looked and looked for the article but never found it 1 Write us a letter!

Junior high counsellor Mickey Furrow responded that while schools can require two years of math, some students may not be able to succeed in it. Dr. Ear) Newman, director of educational services, who has been heading the com­ mittee. added that evidence has shown that adding on requirements doesn't help to achieve goals. “School is really a mixture of what is required and what oportunities are available." Newman said. Ronald Pruka. 1310 David Dr., expressed his concern about the one year math requirement, while three years of both English and social studies are required. "Was lhereany outside input used as far as what whoud make a marketable student for either college or the job market in a changing society?" Pruka asked. Newman told him that the issue of marketability had not been addressed as such. "We’ve never offered a remedial course in physical education for someone that couldn't handle a job, but we have in math and English." Pruka said. Joining the discussion. John Schimmel of 153 Mary Lou Dr. said that some rationale should be used for the requirement for physical education as for math. "It sounds like your are going the high end on physical education and the low end on math,” Schimmel said. Newman told the parents that the proposed requirements are not "set in stone" and are partofa continuing curriculum review in the schools. “I feel like we are really not having any input," Schimmel continued. “I’ve been to two other meetings and the same things keep coming up." DeGoa told the group that the ultimate place to go with dissatisfaction is to the school board, which will receive the proposals. Thomas Freridge, a high school English teacher, asked about the possibility of developing a graduation test which would allow educators to find out whether students are learning what is being presented, not whether graduation requirements are being met. Newman said that that possibility “bears looking into." Newman said that the committee on high school graduation requirements was formed because of the news reports over the past two years dealing with various aspects of education and because graduation requirements have not been formallv reviewed in Hastings since 1968. He said that the committee focused on three questions: 1 The total number oi credits required for graduation; 2. The distribution of credits; and 3. What specified classes should be required. Newman said that the committee met four or five times as a committee and also with panels of parents and students as well as the board of education's curriculum committee. The tenative recommendations of the committee are: Total credits required — 22; Distribution of credits — science. 2 years; English. 3 years; social studies. 3 years, math, 1 year; physical education-health. 2 years; electives. 11 credits. Specified courses - - senior social studies. 1 year; social studies 9. 1 semester; health. 1 semester; and physical science, 1 year. The major differences between the current requirements and the proposed requirements are: The addition of two credits overall; the transfer of health education from the social studies area to the physical education area, reducing the physical education requirement by one semester; and the addition of one year of physical science. The committee's recommendations will be presented to the board at Monday night's meeting as an item for information and discussion. The board will not take action on the recommendation until the January meeting. Superintendent Carl A. Schoessel said that there will be one month for the public to communicate with board members. School board to accept *5,000 by Norma Acker The Hastings Board of Education is ex­ pected to accept approximately $5,550 in gift money at its meeting, Monday.

I figure if your paper isn’t any more interested than that in what people are interested in, your paper isn’t worth wasting my money on. Yours truly, Janice M.Hilliker President of Gordon Johncock Fan Club Reader comments on loose dog problem To the Editor: In regards to the article on the goat-sheep killings, in Doster. This kind of act was very devastating and costly. It seems sad there is not some sort of reprimand. You would think the herd owners would be able to have in possession, legally, some sort of tranquilizers and gun, to at least stun the dogs, if caught in the act. I know tlfe dose is hard to diagnose, with weight of an animal being a factor, but something just to put the animal down long enough to be able to put the animal in a pen, read any lags and contact the owners and let they themselves come and see the grossness of it all. They, the herd owners, then should be able to prosecute the dog owner. Those dogs that are tranquilized having no tags, could be picked up* by the shelter and disposed of. It is an act that cannot be broken once the animal has the taste of blood. It would be the only humane way to handle it. It may then make more responsible pet owners. It’s understandable that a pet may get loose by accident , the chain breaks, it digs out of its pen, kids let them out, etc. But 9 times out of 10 that responsible pet owner will be looking and find his pet in due time. But most likely the responsible pet owner will have a dog fixed, be it male or female, and they will not wander or go out of their yard if trained. If you care for your animal, you would do this for their protection and yours and be saving, oh, so many unwanted, starving, beautiful, innocent puppies' lives. II also seems the herd owners would liave herd dogs posted around and near the pens. Any dog will protect their properly, let alone a herd, loo! It’s just so sad.

Each year the women look forward to the fellowship and the cookie recipe exchange which is part of the format. Each par­ ticipating member bakes at least one kind of cookie lor the event and brings along a copy of the recipe. "We have good programs and special music and it has gotten bigger every year. It's special because it's at Christmastime," says Wilma Strickland, president of the Dowling UMW. Some of the members said the “Cookie Breakfast" started about 2S-years age at the Maple Grove EUB Church and continued when that church merged with Briggs Church and what is now the Dowling country chape) in 1968. The approximately two-dozen different cookies prepared for the Dec. 4 event en­ compassed many different shapes and flavors. The selection ranged from fruit cake triangle cookies to rolled Czechoslovakian pastry called Kiflis. The following recipes are a random sampling of the delicious cookies that were prepared for the Dowling gathering. Space does not permit all of them to be printed and not all the names of the contributors were available.

It's our upper, our downer, and our everylhing-in-betweener. It’s our silent confidante in the wee hours when everyone else in the house is asleep and we are so troubled that we cannot. We have cried bitter tears in it and also rejoiced with it. We use it for our stabilizer and also blame it when we cannot sleep. It’s what the guy in the 1930s needed when he begged on the street, "Brother, can you spare a dime?" It’s our one socially acceptable vice and a multi-million dollar in­ dustry. Coffee is many things to many people. Far-reaching decisions were made and diplomatic maneuvers planned by the founding fathers of our country while they sipped their coffee. The ragged patriot who was called upon to man the guard-post in the snow and rain, or scout the vangard of the army asked only for a small fire, a tin pot and the comforting aroma of coffee. While this beverage has in turn been both lauded and maligned through the centuries, it has always brought warmth, hospitality and a feeling of well-being to both the humble and the great. It is a common denominator of man. Milton was extravagant in his praises of this drink when he said, "Oh sip of this will bathe the crooping spirits in delight beyond the bliss of dreams.” In the latter part of the 18th century, the taverns and coffee houses along our eastern shore were the gathering places of those rebellious patriots who smoked their long-stemmed pipes and drank the strong, scalding hot, boiled coffee while they tried to turn lukewarm Tories into brothers with a common cause. The big pots hanging in the fireplace were forged from sheet iron plated with tin. These were usuallymade in the local forge. Perhaps the coffee was served in fragile china from England, or maybe in the exquisitely designed silver coffee service created by Paul Revere. I would not say that the Colonial gentlemen laced the brew with rum occasionally, but then again, I wouldn't say they didn't. As the use of tea was in disfavor with Americans, coffee was generally substituted. Outside the settlements a knock on an isolated settler’s cabin door would bring the footsore, weary traveler the most friendly gesture passible; food for his body, and a cup of hot coffee to lift his spirits. As the pioneers travelled westward, early journals described the evening meetings to plan for the following d y, and to have a last cup of coffee before bedtime. Bone-tired, discouraged and sick, they treasured the fellowship and comfort it gave before they stretched out on the rugged prairie to sleep. Celebrated painters, like Charles Russell and Wil) James, often pictured a lonely cowboy hunkered down by his tiny fire in the bleakness of a winter’s sunset. Tlie battered tin coffee pot nestled in the glowing coals, its trail of steam sending a warming friendliness to the bleak terrain, and warming his hands as he held the hot tin cup to Applesauce Cookies (Diabetic) Cream together: 1-stick oleo <4-lb.), 4cup brown sugarlwin. 1-egg Add: l-cup unsweetened applesauce and 1teaspoon vanilla. Sift together: l-cup sifted flour, 1-teaspoon baking soda. 4-teaspoon cloves, 4-teaspoon cinnamon, '.-teaspoon salt. 4-teaspoon nutmeg. Add to creamed mixture and beat well. Fold in: l-cup raisins, 1'.-cups quick-cook oatmeal. Drop by teaspoonful on greased pan. Bake in 375-degree oven for 10-12 minutes Cocoa Drop Cookies Ingredients: l-cup sugar. 4-cup shor­ tening, 4-cup sour milk, 1-egg 2-cups flour minus 2-Tablespoons, 4—cup cocoa, 4teaspoon soda. 4-teaspoon salt, and 1teaspoon vanilla. Mix ingredinets good and with a teaspoon drop into a dish of 4X sugar then transfer to a greased cookie sheet. (I chill the batter first in refrigerator for several hours or overnight because it's easier to handle). Bake 375-degrees for 8 to 10 minutes. Don't overbake as they should be chewy. (From Helen Drake) Stuffed Date Bars Slit 30-whole pitted dates (about 8oz.). anxious lips. I he miner and ma only companion, a burro, resting in their makeshift lean-to; the trapper snowbound for a season on the banks of an iceblocked lake, each man depended on their dented, battered old tin, granite or sheet iron pot filled with coffee to make civilization seem a little closer. The pioneer trails across cur country were never marked by abandoned coffee pots. Old journals have recorded the tall tales of cattle drivers and the can­ tankerous trail bosses who would kick a cook out of camp if the chuck wagon coffee were not strong, hot and ready on demand. Dust-chocked riders would fill the tin cup. and as the quaking cook watched, would either savor the brown brew or throw it on the ground. Either way the cook knew his job was on the line. In this country, coffee pots have come in many shapes, materials and sizes down through the years. The socalled "tinware” used by early Americans was actually tinplated sheet iron im­ ported from England. When the Americans began making their own kitchenware, Boston was the leading center of the industry. There were japanned pots, beautifully decorated by the Pennsylvania Dutch artists using their original designs and gay colors. Plain, functional coffee boilers were made by blacksmiths, and a com­ plicated perculator was invented as early as 1819, but the pioneers had neither the time nor inclination to use fancy gadgets. The most common corfee makers were those made of granite we remember from our mother’s or grandmother’s kitchens. Generally speaking, the settlers were satisfied with a plain pot with a sound bottom and a wire handle to hang over the campfire. Through the years there have been many ways of making coffee. There was a time when the beans were roasted by the housewife, ground in the mill, and never stored for any length of time. The coffee was frequently dumped into cold water and stewed until it reached the desired strength to bear up an egg, some oldsters insist. Another school of thought was to tie the coffee in a muslin bag and add a pinch of salt or an eggshell. For many, this was the answer to preparing a perfect brew. Before the advent of instant coffee, many a homemaker had her own secret formula for making a perfect cup of coffee. To this day there are some diehards who dislike filters, drippers, perculators and other "newfangled" gadgets. To separate the history of coffee and coffee pots is impassible. The colorful history of this universal drink is so confused with myths and legend that after hundreds of years we can only conjecture as to its real beginning. Someone once said, “With friendly faces and a cup of coffee, the trials and tribulations of this world for a short time don’t seem so bad." — Oh yes I will, thank you, and please — fill it to the rim.

Among those traveling to the Holiday Inn, south in Lan­ sing. were Don and Diane Griffin, Charles and Betty Miller and Carl and Betty Mcllvaiu Convention speakers included represen­ tatives from A.S.C.S., Farmers Home Ad­ ministration and the Soil Conservation Service. Leon Kienath of Caro was presented a Farmers Union award as Conservationist of the Year in a program coordinated by the Michigan Farmers Union. Highlight of the convention was an address by National Farmers Union President Cy Carpenter. Among other things, Carpenter's talk stressed that farmers “should not ac­ cept all the talk about agriculture being heavily subsidized". He noted that the far­ mers inability to keep pace with the rest of the economy meant that farmers had ac­ tually subsidized every other segment of the economy with cheap food.

Banner Legislation seeks to thwart purchases The words "Under 21” will be printed in bold type on the licenses of all Michigan drivers between the ages of 16 through 20and-a-half years under the measure ap­ proved by the State Legislature and awaiting the Governor's signature. Sponsored by State Representative Paul Hillegonds (R-Holland), the purpose of the bill is to make it easier for restaurant and bar owners to comply with the state's drinking law. "The 'Under 21' code will stand out on the license so that drivers under the drinking age can be identified in restaurants and bars where the lighting sometimes makes age verification difficult," Hillegonds said. “It will also make it more difficult to alter licenses." The suggestion for the new license format came from several Western Michigan bar and restaurant owners who were concerned with proper age identification. “Last year, of the 249 teenage driving fatalities, 100 were alcohol related,' he continued. “Statewide, in all age groups, 53 to 56 percent of lhe people killed in the past five years had been drinking to excess before they got behind the wheel. This is one more step in addressing a problem that is not only prevalent in Michigan, but throughout the nation." Hillegonds added that Michigan is the first state to pass such a law.

Box B, Hastings, Michigan 49058 �Poge IQ— The Hostings Banner— Thursday. December 13, 1984 From Time to Time Bus mishap explained by...Esther Walton The Pie of Our Fathers, Minced Pie From Dr. Chases recipe book - IXK5 “Any pie to be good ought to have a light and flakey crust or 'pastry* as more recently called, and the filling should be put in sufficiently thick to remove all suspicion on the part of the maker... Minced pies are bad. only, when eaten just before retiring. Such a plan with any food, a be made a habit of, is bad. The stomach needs and must have rest, as well as the body, or it will sooner or later make a complaint, never to be forgotten." “The mince pie is a very ancient institution and the only pie that has relignificance. The nollow crust represents the manger in which the Savior was laid; its rich interior, the good things brought by the wise men as offerings and laid at his feet. A good mince pie is not only better for digestion than a poor one, but it has a representative character of its own — it symbolizes our love and devotion to the divine principle to which the Christmas festival is consecra’ed. Mince pies should be prepared with a due sense of their character and importance. They should not be eaten often; but they should be well-made of fine and abundant materials, and when served received with due regard and given a place of honor. Thin layer of impoverished mince, inclosed in flat, ceramic (hard, like earthenware) crust are not mince pies; they are the small-souled housekeepers substitute for the genuine article. The true mince pie is made in a brown or yellow earthen platter, is filled an inch thick with a juicy, aromatic compound, whose fragrance rises like incense the moment heat is applied to it, and it comes out the golden brown of a russet which has been kissed by the sun. No common or nc. veless one should be allowed to prepare or mix *!ic ingredients for this sum of all pastry. Every separate article should be cut, cleansed, chopped, sifted with strong, but reverent touch, and the blending should be effected with the sweetest piece of the apples, reduced by boiling with the sirup (sic) of the maple and sacramental wine. Thus, the spices of the East, the woods of the North and the sweetness of the South and the fruit of the West is laid under tribute, and the result, if properly compounded, is a pie that deserves <l»e esteem in which it was held in ancient times, and does credit to the skill of our foremothers, who brought it to its present state of perfection and to the good judgment of our forefathers, who appreciated and ale it. Let us defend and sustain one of our time-honored institutions against the attack of a weak and effete generation, which, having demoralized itself by indulgence in many more obnoxious pleasures of the table, making the pie the scapegoat, and especially the mince pie which, when deserving of its name is a revelation of culinary art — a kitchen symphony — deserving the respect and con­ sideration of all who understand and appreciate a combination and growth which has achieved the highest possible results." Recipe To every quart of sifted flour, allow the yolk of 1 egg. Hie juice of I lemon, 1 saltspoonful of salt, and 1 lb. of fresh butter. Make a hole in the flour in which put the beaten egg, the lemon and salt, and mix the whole with ice water (verycold water will do> into a soft paste. Roll it out. put the butter, which shoud have all the buttermilk thoroughlyworked out of it. on the paste, and fold the edges over so as to cover it. Roll it ou: Io the thickness of a quarter of an inch; fold over one-third and roll, fold over the other third and roll, always rolling one way. Place it with the ends towards you. repeat the turns and rolls as before twice. Flour a baking sheet, put the paste in it on ice or in some verycool place half an hour, roll twice more as before; chill again for a quarter of an hour, give it two more rolls and it is ready for use. .Minced Pies: Boil a fresh tongue (or very nice tender beef in equal amount, about 3 lbs i remove the skin and roots (any remains of the w ind pipe, blood vessels, etc > and chop it vey fine, when cold; add 1 lb of chopped suet; 2 Ihs. of stoned raisins; 2 lbs. of English currants; 2 lbs. of citron, cut in fine pieces; 6 cloves, powdered ('2 leaspoonful powdered cloves); 2 leaspoonsful of cinnamon; '2 teaspoonful of powdered mace; 1 pt. of brandy; 1 pt. of wine, or cider; 2 lbs. of sugar; mix well and pul into stone jar and cover well. This will keep some time. When making pies, chop some tart apples, very fine and to I lb. of the prepared meal put 2 bowls of the apple; add more sugar if taste requires it. and sweet cider to make the pies juicy but not thin; mix and warm the ingredients before putting into pie plates. Always bake with an upper and under crust. For all the adventurous cooks who wish to try this culinary art — the recipe does not include any tem­ perature settings, in 1885 there were none. However, this advice is given: To bake cakes nicely, the heat of the oven should be uniform throughout the whole time of baking; and for light, thin cakes a quick oven is required, so that by the lime the cake is properly raised the baking shall commence; it is assumed that anyone would know how­ to bake a pie hence no special directions are given.

Page 11 Hastings in line for first title in four years? by Steve Vedder The best way to describe the balance of the Tw in Valley the tost three or four seasons says Hastings basketball Coach Denny O'Mara, is to divide the teams into the haves and the have nots. In other words, each season there have been one or two powerful, dominating teams while the rest have been...well, something less than dominating. The type of teams with virtually no chance of winning much of anything. Times, however, are a changin’. O’Mara sees the steeple chase to the 198485 Twin Valley championship as a breed apart from past title races. The old cliche about any team being able to knock anybody else off on any given night will become reality this winter. "Things are much different," says O’Mara of the 1984-85 season. "That's fairly evident by the first round of games (last Friday)." For instance, probable doormat Harper Creek nearly beat Pennfield, while newcomer Lakeview nearly sprung a major upset on Battle Creek Central. In addition. Albion and Coldwater opened with wins. That gaggle of opening games will be typical of what Twin Valley basketball aficionados can expect this winter. "This year more so than ever, any team is capable of beating anybody else." says O’Mara. "The league is better balanced. Now you have to be prepared to ptoy everybody.” An examination of the league reveals O’Mara’s words ring true: The Twin Valley will be particularly balanced with as many as four teams possessing the opportunity to win a cage title. The following is one person’s opinion of the upcoming Twin Valley season. First place — Hastings...The prediction of a Twin Valley title does not come under the pressure of having to appease subscribers to the hometown newspaper. The Saxons have experience, talent, height, and coaching — every reason to win the school's first Twin Valley title since 1980-81. Hastings Rob Olson grabs a rebound against Ionia. The Bulldogs, however, scored a basket with no time left on the clock to beat the Saxons 77-75. Hastings opens the Twin Valley season at home against Marshall this Friday. Saxons drop 77-75 game to Ionia at final buzzer Chris Booth, after dribbling around or through most of the Hastings team, scored on a layup as lime ran out to give Ionia a thrilling 77-75 win over the Saxons on Tuesday night. The loss dropped Hastings' record to 1-1 after a season-opening win against Caledonia tost Friday. The Saxons host Marshall this Friday in the team’s Twin Valley opener. Booth's basket, which gave him 19 points for the evening, climaxed a hectic fourth quarter that saw 7 lead changes and 4 deadlocked scores. Ionia has led by as much as 5043 with three minutes left in the third quarter. But Hastings, led by 6 points by Mark Brown, quickly pulled into a 56-54 lead by the end of the period. Then came the see-saw fourth quarter in which Hastings led at one time 62-59. Hastings still led 68-67 but Ionia scored 8 of the next 11 points to lead 75-71 with 2:03 remaining. But the Saxons weren’t quite finished. Rob Olson canned a rebound and Brown sank a bank shot to tie the contest at 75-75 with 58 seconds to go. Ionia killed the remaining seconds until Booth dribbled ,:ome the lane and scored as the buzzer sounded. The game was tied 19-19 after one period before Ionia crept into a tenuous 37-35 halftime lead. Brett Zuber led Ionia with 22 points. Brown's 39 markers led Hastings. Arnold finished with 10, Olson 8. while Mike Shaw. Mike Matthews and Nick Willison chipped in 6 each. Hastings Coach Denny O'Mars said lack of defense was the Saxons' downfall. •'We gave up too many easy shots," said O'Mara, who wasn't pleased with his team's first half defense against Caledonia. "But you can't take anything away from Ionia, they played a good game. When you score 75 points you should win games." Offensively, Hastings outshot Ionia. The Saxons hit 46 percent (30-of-62) of their field goals to 45 percent <32-of-67) for the Bulldogs. Hastings hit 17-of-21 free throws to ll-of-16 for Ionia. .Despite the 46 percent field goal accuracy. O’Mara was not pleased with the 13-of-29 field goal shooting in the first half. "We hurried our shots and didn’t play well against their zone." said O'Mara. Led by Olson's 10 carooms, Hastings outrebounded the visitors 36-31.

Third place — Lakeview...Ah, we come to the new kid on the block. The Spartans were a middle-of-the-roader in the Big Eight, but promise to sting a few people in the Twin Valley. Lakeview has sophomore Jim Bentz, who tossed in 14 against Central, and senior guard Jon Hausman, and enough of a sup­ 1984-85 Twin Valley Preview Second place — Albion...Any team with alleverything Maurice Ware on it WILL BE a contender. The 6-4 senior was named on virtually every all state football team last fall and his basketball skills don't lag far behind the grid talents. Ware averaged 19 points and 12 rebounds a game in leading a young Albion team to a 12-9 mark last winter. Albion's only problem is height, or lack of it. Of five letterwinners back, only Ware and 6-4 Gary Breuklander are over 6-1. Fifth place — Marshall...New coach Tom Duffey, the architect of some fine Marshall girls teams, takes over the boys reigns. He inherits a 7-16 team with four seniors and one junior returning. Heading the list are 6-3 Tim Wheeler and 60 Dave Heidernreich, both starters a year ago as juniors. Summation: By tote January Duffey will be wishing he was back coaching Marshall’s girls. porting cast to challenge whoever it is that finally wins the Twin Valley. Summation: Formidable but not good enough to win the league. Fourth place -Sturgis...How can anybody in their right mind pick the defending champions fourth? Granted the Trojan! were 22-3 overall and 13-1 in the league a year ago and do have six returnees back. Seventh place - Harper Creek...If there is any team hard to get a line on it’s the Beavers, who upended Pennfield 5641 in their opener. Harper Creek will be led by Eric Steffes, who had 17 against Pennfield, and junior forward James Colby, who began his varsity career with a 13-point. 11-rebound night against Pennfield. Summation: Somebody has to finish last. YMCA organizing youth leagues I ' Words for the Y’s Why fourth then? Because the two or three players that were the heart and sole of that Sturgis team are gone Sturgis has potential all-league talent in 6-2 seniors Chad Stewart <12 ppg> and Brian Severson <10 ppg. io reb.). but it will not be enough to raise Sturgis past second place. Summation: Sturgis always finds itself in the midst of the Twin Valley tide scramble The Trojans will be a factor this year. Sixth place — Coldwater... The Cardinals do have 7 lettermen back, but like Albion, lack the height to finish in the Twin Valiev’s first division. Heading the list of key per­ formers are senior guards Ken Johns and Scott McFarland and 6-2 senior forward John Dygert. Summation: Coldwater will) probably spring an upset or two. but don’t look for them to be a factor in the title race.

Her 46 assists was second on the team. Joining Atkinson on the first team were Dawn Durham of Marshall, Kris Post of Coldwater, Marie Ward of Lakeview, and Wendy Beckwith of Sturgis. The second team was Regina Taylor and Leslie Suiver of Albion, Stacey King of Harper Creek, Dana Cooper of Coldwater and Jennie Pyle of Marshall. Hastings junior forward Kristin Trahan and senior center Stacy Owens were named to the honorable mention unit. Sports.. • at a glance by Steve Vedder Thursday’s best A slow day at the office: This easily looks like the best Hastings basketball team I’ve seen in the three years I’ve been here. If they ever learn defense, the Saxons should win its first Twin Valley title since the 1980-81 season under Wayne Brown. As a matter of fact, it might be the most exciting winter around Hastings High School in years. The Saxon wrestling team, even though it has started slow with a 3-2 mark, codd also win a league title. Anybody remember the last time Hastings won wrestling and basketball championships in the same winter? Look for Michigan to beat Brigham Young in the Holiday Bowl. No really, you can bet your last nickel on it. Only 120 more days before the Tigers open. Saxon 185-pounder Dave Kensington just looks like a wrestler, doesn't he? Things to do this winter: Learn to cross country ski, pick a weekend in tote January to go swimming al the Lansing Midway Motor Lodge, attend at least one Michigan basketball game. The Hastings’ YMCA mens Class C basketball league is rougher than Mowing the tost of your paycheck four days before pay day. The DNR says almost 50 percent of all deer taken during the firearms season will be taken illegally That, sports fans, is a sad commentary I say hand out rifles to the deer and even things up a little. Bank on it: Mark Brown will con­ tribute greatly to Michigan Stale’s team as a freshman. Other than Brown, the best overall basketball player in the county is Delton's Steve Tuin. Speaking of Delton, it s loo bad coach Paul Blacken lost his top jayvee player and a promising 6-7 center from his program. With those two Delton would have challenged Kalamazoo Christian for bragging rights in the KVA. It's too bad the Lions didn’t move to Oakland with the Panthers. I'm looking forward to the Tigers winter press tour in January. There's a few things Sparky has to answer starting with what he ever had against Howard Johnson. The Yankees are going to win it in 1985. Aside note to Delton wrestling Coach Rob Heethuis: You made the right decision to stay at least one more year. A footnote: Delton won 19 straight dual matches last year and with most of its team back, the Panthers have won their first 5 of this season. Awesome. Add to the list ol winter activities: spend at least a couple hours wandering around the Gun Lake Winter Festival. Uh, pass on entering the Polar Bear Club, though Another sure bet: Maple Valley will repcat as SMAA champions. How about either a re ed or mens floor hockey league in Hastings? The sport is big in Battle Creek If it sounds good why not call Dave Storms at the YMCA office Hastings' narrow loss to Ionia on Tuesday may be a blessing in disguise Now the team doesn't have to worry about its invincibility �Page 12— The Hastings Banner— Thursday.

Mike Yarger, 22, Freeport, and Derric Bond, 21, Hastings, reportedly spotted smoke pnuring from the Dick Taylor residence, 1515 Center Road, about 4 a.m. Sunday. Yarger went to the home and pounded on the door to awaken the occupants, while Bond went for help. Chief Roger Caris of the Hastings Fire Department said Bond sought help at two nearby homes, by failed to wake anyone. He then continued into Hastings, where be flagged down a police cruiser, which in turn called firefighters to the scene. Caris said the fire started in a fish smoker in back of the home, then spread toa wood pile, and to the home. Most of the damage occurred in the kitchen. “The quick action of these two young men may have averted a tragic in­ c.-dent,’’ said Caris. Damage is estimated at $20,000 to 525,000.

Wishing you serenity & happiness this Christmas and always------ I Banner byKeaReibel Differences between two appraisals of land near the Hastings Airport will result in a loss of nearly $100,000 in federal and state con­ struction funds for the airport’s expansion next spring. Airport planners have counted on the local share of the $406,000 project to come from a 90 percent federal reimbursement of land purchased several years ago by the Joint City-County Airport Commission Board. Combined state and federal funding matches $20 to every local dollar. The land, 41 acres located east of the airport, formerly a racetrack site, was appraised last summer by a local realtor at $25,575. However, the Federal Aviation Ad­ ministration last month ordered the airport board to hire a different appraiser, who determined the land to be worth only $17,000. The resulting $8,575 difference translates into a shortfall of $154,350 in combined federal and state money. "The whole project started out on the assumption of local funding with federal reimbursement funds,” said Airport Board Chairman Charlie Murphy. ^Murphy met Wednesday with the ap­ praiser. the Battle Creek firm of Cherney and Associates, with hope of increasing the appraised value. Included in the previously planned $406,000 Valerie Owen, new Middleville presktet A recount last week of the votes cast in the Assyria Township supervisor race showed the tally to be the same as reported by the inspectors of the Nov. 6 election. Assyria Township Republican Supervisor Larry Carpenter won reelection on a write-in campaign over former Supervisor Jack Love in November, after losing to Love for the Republican nomination in the Aug. 7 primary. Carpenter and Love tied on the voting machine ballots, with 265 votes each, but Carpenter outdistanced Love on the absentee ballots, capturing ill to Love's 45, for a total of 376 to 310.

The fire at the John Tarchai* raddeoce, Fruin Road, was “totally involved” when units answered the 5:13 a.m. alarm, frording to Bob Mack, chief of the Bedford Fire Department Other departments assisting were from Johnstown Township, Nashville and Hickory Corners. Damage to the home h estimated at over 1100,000. Mack said the fire apparently started in the living area on the grand floor, and spread to all areas of the home. Firemen were able to save part of the garage, and a motorcycle. No one was home at the time of the blaze, said Mack. The fire remains under investigation by the Barry County Sheriff Depart­ ment.

Owen fills the seat left by the late Robert Sullivan, who died Nov. 16. It is believed she may be the first woman president since the village was in­ corporated 100 years ago. Owen was appointed to the council in July 1974. She has since won election and re-election In 1978, 1980, and most recently, in the spring of 1964, when she was named mayor pro-tem of the Middleville village council. The move to the president’s chair leaves a vacancy on the six-person council to fill Owen’s seat. Any Mid­ dleville resident interested in senring is encouraged to make application to the village hall. Owen lives on Main Street with her busband, Ronald. The couple have two children, Toni, 18, a student at Aquinas College, and Perry, 12. Holiday ~ expansion project is a 900-foot runway ex­ tension, an access road off West State Road, a parking area for private hangars, and primary taxiways for aircraft taking off and landing. In trimming the project back to $311,000. project planners have eliminated the priipary taxiways and hangar parking, and changed the location of the entrance road. Even at the reduced cost, airport planners must find an additional $7,000 in local funds. “I don’t know if the city and county can come up with it, or if we’ll have to hit up some of Continued on page 9 Santa speaking...

State pursuing KAV-Co. in circuit court by Ken Reibel The assistant attorney general handling the slate's suit of KAV-Co. said he will still try to hold the company in contempt of court, though the Kalamazoo-based consortium of refuse haulers has filed bankruptcy. Gary Hicks, assistant attorney general, said he has found a provision that allows governmental entities to retain jurisdiction "to enforce its police or regulatory powers.” He said he will file a notice of hearing with Barry Circuit Court to reschedule a show­ cause hearing on a contempt motion based on that provision. “We will proceed between the state and federal courts," said Hicks, who. as of Wednesday, had not filed a notice of hearing with Barry Circuit Court. He said that notice will be filed sometime after Christmas. KAV-Co. was ordered on Sept. 4 to spend millions of dollars to start cleaning up its 80acre landfill in Prairieville Township by Oct. 4. The company has not met that deadline. The state responded by forcing KAV-Co. into Barry Circuit Court last week for a show-cause hearing, in which company of­ ficials were given the chance to explain why they could not comply with the court's order. However. KAV-Co.'s decision to file Chapter II of the federal bankruptcy code indefinitely postponed that hearing, because bankruptcy proceedings automatically transfer jurisdiction from state to federal courts. Hicks said the statutory language regarding bankruptcy proceedings seem clear, but that courts have still held different views when it comes to the state enforcing its regulatory powers. The state's attorney general sued KAV-Co. in Barry Circuit Court last summer to clean up its 80-acre landfill in Prairieville Town­ ship. During a week of testimony, the state presented health and environmental experts who claimed a hydrological connection between the groundwaters beneath the dump, and the waters under the homes. In his ruling. Barry-Eaton Circuit Court Judge Hudson E. Deming stated that the water supply downgradient of the landfill has been degraded by both organic and inorganic chemicals, and "that the source of this groundwater degredalion is the KAV-Co. landfill." Deming slopped short of fining the landfill owners, stating that it would be “inequitable to impose such a burden in addition to remedial measures”, meaning the wells and the impermeable clay cover. Deming also noted that KAV-Co. did not deliberately pollute the groundwaters, a further reason for not imposing civil fines. Health officials say it is important to cap the KAV-Co. landfill as soon as possible to prevent more chemicals from seeping into the groundwaters. State health experts have identified 15 organic and inorganic compounds in test wells near the dump, many of which they have linked to cancer, birth defects and other ailments. Local man pleads guilty to assault A 45-year-old Hastings man pleaded guilty to assault ana malicious destruction of property in Barry Circuit Court last week, in connection with the June 8 attack on a Bellevue man. Charles Eldridge Mast, 5603 Saggio Rd., Hastings, stood mute in Barry Circuit Court Friday to counts of assault with intent to commit murder, and malicious destruction of personal property. When he is sentenced Jan. 10. Mast could face up to four years in prison. In exchange for his plea, prosecutors agreed to drop a charge of assault with intent Io commit murder, which is punishable by up to life in prison, and will recommend that Mast serve no more than one year in the county jail. Prosecutors allege that Mast assaulted a Bellevue man. identified as Ronald Wells, by smashing into his vehicle during a high speed chase across Barry County. According to Detective Sgt. Marion Bagent of I he Battle Creek Michigan State Police post. Mast spotted his wife.

Dec. 22. A native of Hastings, Mrs. Johnson still resides in the city and is one of its out­ standing citizens. Through the years, as the busy wife of the late Aben E. Johnson, well-known businessman and civic leader, and the mother of four children, Mrs. Johnson always had time for many outside activities. She was instrumental in starting the YMCA Camp at Algonquin Lake, con­ tributing time and money to the project. She also assisted at a local baby clinic prior to the construction of Pennock Hospital. After the local hospital was built, she served on the Women's Board of Pennock and was its representative to the Michigan Hospital Association for a number of years. Mrs. Johnson also assumed a leadership role in getting the old high school building replaced with what is now Central School. She presented the idea of a bonding issue, which was the first bonding undertaken by the Hastings school system. Active in the Campfire Girls Organization, Mrs. Johnson served as a district director. During World War II. she worked on the Ration Board as a public service Mrs. Johnson has been a membet of the Hastings Women's Club since 1923 and has served as the club's treasurer. For many years, she chaired the club's annual Christmas party project at the Barry County Medical Care Facility to make the holiday­ season brighter for patients. Her daughter, Barbara vonReis, continues in that tradition by serving on the club's Christmas party committee. Al home, Mrs. Johnson was been called "one of the world's best cooks.” Several awards have been presented to Mrs. Johnson in recognition of outstanding service. In May of 1981. the Barry County Bar Association presented her with the Liberty Beil Award in honor of her out­ standing citizenship. She also received another award from her church where she taught Sunday School. The daughter of Mary Fraser and Robert Ironside, Mrs. Johnson was bom Dec. 22, 1889. Her parents were originally from Scotland and settled in Canada before moving to Hastings. After graduating from Hastings High School in June of 1908, Mrs. Johnson taught at the Matthews School which is now the Word of Faith Fellowship Church at Algonquin Lake. Roman Feldspausch was one of her pupils. Mrs. Johnson attended Ypsilanti Normal College for two years and taught sixth grade at L’pton Ave. School in Battle Creek for two years. She married the late Aben E. Johnson on Jan. 21, 1915. Their four children are: Bar­ bara vonReis and Stephen Johnson, both of Hastings; Agnes Blacklidge of Newport Beach, Ca; and Aben Johnson Jr. of Bloomfield Hills. Mi. There are 15grandchildren and 21-great grandchildren. Anno (Ironside) Johnson, well-known in the Hastings area for her community service work, celebrates her 95th birthday Saturday. �Page 2— The Hastings Banner— Thursday. December 20. 1984 A second useful present for a man’s desk is a string box. To make this you will require first a round piece of think 1 cardboard thesize of the base of a large ball of string. Cover this with a piece of satin. Next procure some very thick silk millinery wire and sew this all round lhe piece of cardboard, bending it at the top to the height of a ball of string, as shown in the sketch. Now take : ! JOYOUS HOLIDAY What to give a man has always been a question which wrinkled the brow uf womankind when the Yuletide comes around. Husbands and brothers are usually so liberally supplied with smoking coats, slippers, pipes and smoking materials and implements of all sorts that women are cheated out of the easiest selection that could be made. A man likes to select his own pipes and his own clothes, as a rule. As to health, wealth I i j i j e and happiness for all time! SIGN’S Tire Service 235 S. Jefferson Hastings Color Center cigars — they dread those purchased by womankind as much as they do em­ broidered slippers. The man who has a desk and works at home may be given many useful things for the desk. One contrivance is a post card case, the shape shown in this sketch. The front consists of nothing more than a very artistic picture post card and the back of a piece of stout vellum. This is scalloped out round the top and has stiletto pierced holes down the sides, and where the vellum joins the sides and base of the post card holes are made in the card and two laced together with baby ribbon, of course leaving plenty of room for a packet of post cards. some inch wide ribbon and double it, making each side an inch wide by placing the ribbon face to face so to speak, and inserting a very thin layer of wadding between. This is run through the top of the wire loops and finished off at the side with a ribbon bow. The ball of string is easily slipped in the box, and a very charming trifle it :s if carried out in bright colored ribbon. Another useful trifle is a holder for telegram forms, which consists of a piece of cardboard cut the exact size of the forms and covered with satin to thatch the ribbons of the string box Straps of ribbon are sewed across the comers and the forms kept *n position by them and the holder finished off by a loop of ribbon to hang it up by. Very simple and effective is such a gift A stationery case may be contrived from a thin wooden box well sand­ papered to a uniform smoothness. The sides should be slanted so that the front is not so deep as the back, and the in­ terior should be lined with Japanese gold paper, with a middle cardboard division to separate paper and en­ velopes. Round the top and bottom of the box, neatly tacked with tiny upholsterers’ pins, place Japanese embroidery, and the wooden space in between may be stained with pretty tinted wood stain or covered with lincruBta paper glued on before the era- broidery is tacked, the same decorative motif being also carried out on the lid, which is attached to the body of Ute box by tiny brass hinges. Tiny calendars and stamp boxes can be purchased for such a trifle that it is not worth while making them at home, but the articles described are always more or less expensive to buy and can be made quickly and economically, two recommendations which should insure their being carried out by home workers. A clever woman may make a shaving case out of red leather for some for­ tunate man’s Christmas gift. The soft leather is cut in squares for the back and front pieces and stenciled in gilt. Before putting in the shaving paper the leather for the front should have a round mirror inserted. The paper and leather are then fitted together in a diamond shape and caught up with a leather strap. A suitable present which most men detest buying, which a woman herself can make and which under the cir­ cumstances she may present even to an intimate friend is a dress shirt protector, for wear to the theater, to the opera, to the dinner or to the social function. Of all things intended for men’s wear it is really the single one to which the sentiment of home needlework may be attached. Then a man is always pleased with a gift he can use practically, and something exactly in this line is a handsome umbrella. For some unknown reason women have an idea that the cane ratlier than the umbrella is a desirable present, yet seven men out of ten prefer an umbrella. It is a necessary in­ stitution, one which men ordinarily are not extravagant about when they buy •REETIRGS WBCH Stereo 100 FM FRIDAY, DEC. 21: 6:00 p.m. Radio Classic • Jack Banny Christmas program originally broadcast coast Io coast In 1952.8:45 p.m. Holiday Bowl football - Univarsity of Michigan versus Brigham Young Univer­ sity.

To such a one a present suitable for a room of this kind would be most welcome. The first things of all necessary to the distinctively bachelor’s lair are pictures — suitable pictures, pictures of action. Many handsome pictures framed according to the various sized pocketbooks may be had in almost any of the stores. First, there are the reproductions of Remington and his broncho busting series. Then there is the Schreyvogel series, scenes of Indian fights, in­ cluding the reproduction of the artist’s famous prize winner, “My Bunkie". Then there are the Christy soldier series and the Christy actress series, not to mention scores of dainty reproductions in colors and otherwise of gracefully poised ballet girls in groups, as well as the old standards of Charles Dana Gibson. These, of course, are artistic adorn­ ments, but there are half a hundred things alone intended for daily prac­ tical use in a man’s den. There is the splendid ram’s horn ash receiver, running in value all the way to $25 and from there down to $5, one of the last things a man would buy and one of the first he would covet of his neighbor, even though he would never use it Then there are fancy ink wells for the man who uses his pen in his room — not one of the natty, nonsensical little affairs with 400 compartments for as many different kinds of colored inks, but a sensible "well”, one of the new kind that preserves ink, prevents dipping the pen too deeply and at the same time combines with usefulness a sensible appearance. An embroidered table cover, provided there is the table, is suitable.

Of course a gift made and em­ broidered by a woman's hands has more of sentiment to it than anything purchased in the shops, and this year there is any army of cushion designs to select from which women can work and have made up with their downy fillings. There are all the college colors in satin stamped with college yells, mottoes and the insignia of secret societies. There are sedate and severe leather cushions for the library, and there are delicate muslin covers fur embroidery, which have the advantage of being washable and especially dainty and pretty when slipped over a silken cushion, matching in color with the flowers embroidered on the tran­ sparent muslin. Autograph cushions are also a fad. On denim, burlap or satin or linen the cushion maker has her friends write some sentiment, which she stitches over, retaining the character of the handwriting. The girl who is in the know is going to give her masculine relatives or her sweetheart cushions this year. A cushion is something that every one appreciates. Busy men do not have much time for resting, but there is always some hour of the day or the week when a man reclines upon a couch to smoke, to sleep, to read or to talk. One cushion is absolutely necessary, but several will make the so's in a man’s den a thing of beauty and solid comfort.

Hosting* • 948-2230 �The Hastings Bonner — Thursday, December 20, 1984, Page 3 VIEWPOINT: Commentaries from our editorial staff end the community ~ EDITORIAL The message of Christmas on December 26 As we move into the final week of the Christmas season, we should look at what the holiday can mean to us on December 26 and beyond. Outside of its religious meaning, Christmas has a different message for each of us, but universally the spirit of the celebration is friendship and sharing — goodwill to men, if you will. In modern America, the spirit of the season is reflected in the ringing of cash registers. While even people in the retail business sometimes lament the need to start their Christmas promoting before Halloween, and we frequently hear complaints that Christmas has become too commercialized, it is an economic fact of modem retailing that a good or bad Christmas sales season can mean the difference between a good or bad year in business. Much of the year for a retailer can be spent breaking even and only a successful Christmas can keep a retailer's business economically viable. Thus, when goodwill to men is shown in gift giving, we enjoy the economic benefits year-round. As one local banker was heard to say recently, “Face it. Most people simply have to spend money at Christmas. They'll do what they have to do to see to it that they have a good Christmas." A good Christmas, of course, means presents under the tree for the family. While the economic benefits of the season carry over beyond December 25, the goodwill to men often does not. If all of us practiced the spirit of the Christmas season beyond the holidays, we could find ourselves reaping great benefits in our relationships with other people, especially in our local communities. One of the lessons learned early by people in the newspaper business is that people who are your best friends today might be your worst detractors tomorrow if they disagree with the way a news story is written or the message of an editorial. Both good people in the news business and people who serve as good public officials know that those who you disagree with today may be people you'll agree with and want support from tomorrow. Disagreements should be seen in the spirit of the Christmas season, that is, carried forth while maintaining that attitude of goodwill. The celebration of Christmas should cause us to reflect on the messages of the season — messages of peace on earth, a concern for our fellow men, a tolerance of those who are different from ourselves. Merry Christmas. Delton administrators, staff get pay hike Salary increases (or administrators and support staff in the Delton Kellogg School District have been approved by the board of education. Superintendent Dr. John W. Sanders said the board approved one-year contracts reflecting five percent pay increases for 11teacher aides and 27 other individuals in­ cluding administrators and clerical, maintainance and other supervisory personell. Sanders said 98-percent of the salary hikes reflect a five-percent increase as part of the second year ofan agreement, similar to what teachers received which was a "two-percent increase in 1983-84 and five-percent in 84-85, averaging out to 3.5-percent over the two years." The new contracts for administrators include an increase for: Sanders from $45,000 Io $47,250; Assistant Superintendent Dean McBeth from $39,375 to $11,344; High School Principal Gregg Pratt from $37,835 to $39,727; Middle School Principal Donald Barnes from $36,802 to $38,642; Elementary Principal Marilynn Baker from $31,061 to $32,614; and Assistant Elementary Principal Tom Byrum from $27,247 to$28,609. Assistant Middle School Principal Carolyn Nycum, who was a teacher last year, will receive a salary of $31,500. Randy Knowles who has been the assistant high school principal has been hired for the new counselor position in the high school so the board is seeking a new assistant for the high school. In other business at the board’s Dec. 10 meeting, Sanders gave an update on the energy conservation project which is nearly completed, although some of the exterior painting will have to wait until warmer weather. Through the energy retrofit project, he said, "we're anticipating a 17 or 18-percent savings in energy costs pei year. In 1982-83, the district's actual energy costs were $187,180 and he noted that Consumers had predicted a 13-perccnt increase for the following year. However, in 1983-84, energy costs to the district jumped 30-percent to $245,000 despite conservation measures before the energy retrofit program began. Sanders said no comparison cost data is available yet since the energy project has been underway, but that there is a noticable change in the quality of living in school buildings, including more consistant heating temperatures and the elimination of drafts. As an addition to the energy program, the board authorized securing quotes for the construction of a cement blocK wind barrier for the west end of the east-west corner of the lower elementary building. The board also authorized bids to be secured to replace two school buses which were purchased in 1973 and 1974. Dorothy Weever, treasurer of Delton’s Athletic Boosters, gave the organizations annual report to board. The boosters had an income of $119,387.66 and spent $1U,572.55 to enhance sports programs. The boosters earned funds through bingo games, Foun­ ders Weekend fundraiser, concession stand sales, donkey basketball, and the hospitality room during home games. Sanders said the benefits the boasters have made to the sports programs and the district have been fantastic. These include the allweather track, awards for sports, equipment and supplies for track, baseball dugouts and fencing, an outdoor public address system, new ticket booth and all types of equipment and items for various sports plus assistance to the student board commission. The boosters have also set aside funds for a softball complex. The board set May 19 as the date for baccalaurete and May 26 for graduation. The next board meeting will be held Jan. 14. However, the board will have a 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Jan. 12 workshop for the primary purpose of setting short term and long range goals. The workshop will be held at the Kellogg Conference Center at Gull Lake with consultant Duane Tester who conducts in­ service education workshops through Michigan State University. Speaking of goodwill... PUBLIC OPINION: A note of praise to the Christmas Basket Coordinating Committee and its dozens of volunteers who are supplying 700 baskets, more than ever, to Barry County’s needy people. Disadvantaged families, single people and elderly people will be assured of a merry Christmas due to the committee’s work in supplying food, clothing and gifts. The committee and support organizations raised $2,000 to purchase items and took in thousands of dollars worth of food, clothing and toy donations. As we noted last week, the support for this kind of effort shows that we are a community that cares. Assault continued... Cherokee in the parking lot of a Delton drug store at 2:30 a.m.. Bagent described Wells as "a good Samaritan" who had given Mrs. Mast a ride to her car. Bagent said Mast had been out that night searching for his wife, and had "attacked Wells's vehicle" when he spotted her. An automobile chase followed, with Mast pursuing Wells east on Pifer and Lacey Roads. Bagent said the chase ended at the comer of M-66 and Lacey Road, when Wells's Jeep entered a ditch. "At that point. Mast started to beat on Wells's vehicle with a tire iron, and tried to get at Wells," said Bagent. Bagent said the Wells vehicle was repeatedly rammed from behind during ihe chase. “It knocked the bumper right off Well’s Jeep , we never did find it,’’ said Bagent. Wells escaped with only minor bumps and scratches, but Bagent said he could have fared worse. "He only got away (out of the ditch > because he had four-wheel drive on his Jeep." he said. Mast is currently awaiting sentencing in Calhoun County on a charge of attempted inciting to commit a felony His sentencing is scheduled for Feb. 4. According to state police. Mast hired a "hit man" in the winter of 1983 to murder his wife. He faces up to five years in prison. Bruce Frohriep. 9255 Miller Rd.. Delton, was ordered to pay back over $10,000 in illegally obtained food stamps and ADC. and The Hastings sentenced to six months in the Barry County Jail and five years probation for welfare fraud by failure to inform. According to court information, Frohriep collected ADC and food stamps between June. 1980 and Dec. 1983 without informing t.ie Michigan Department of Social Services of the existence of income. In exchange for his guilty plea, prosecutors moved to dismiss a charge of welfare fraud over $500, and to dismiss similar charges against his wife in Barry County District Court. Frohriep's attorney asked Barry-Eaton Circuit Court Judge Hudson E. Deming to limit the sentence to 90 days in jail, but Deming refused, saying "In the newspapers it would say you ripped off over $10,000 and got 90 days, and the people on Main Street would say ‘We’re in the wrong business.’’' Under the terms of his sentencing, Frohriep will be released from jail at 5:30 a.m. to work. Hesitation is to be paid at the rate of $180 a month for the next five years. A Jan. 7 jury trial is set for Myer J. Franklin, 44, Kalamazoo, for third offense drunk driving and malicious destruction of police property. Franklin, who is also known as Loyal G. Harville, was arrested by Barry Township Police last June for drunk driving. While being held in the back of a police car, it is alleged Franklin kicked out a side widow.

Council focuses on satellite dish ordinance by Ken Reibel Satellite dishes and their place in the community will be the subject when the Hastings City Council votes Jan. 15 on an ordinance regulating the placement of the devices around homes and businesses throughout the city. The ordinance would keep dish antennas out of front yards and side lots which abut side streets, and keep advertising messages and graphic representations off the dish, other than the dish manufacturers' names. In addition, the ordinance calls for the devices to be set back from property lines at a distance no less than the height of the dish, and to be permanently anchored to the ground or roof. The ordinance limits dish height to 12 feet when mounted on the ground, and five feel when on a roof. For commerical buildings, the device can Elementary concert changed The Hastings elementary school music concert, featuring the fifth and sixth grade bands from the various elementary schools, has been moved from the high school gymnasium Io the junior high school west gym.

He said it was drafted here by a suggestion by the city planner, and various comments received by city councilmembers. "There's been no major problems with respect to locating dishes in inappropriate areas." said Ainslie. "But residents in town have watched the proliferation of dishes in the rural areas, and were concerned they would come into the city. No one wants to look at somebody's dish in their front yard."

December 20, Wtu what’s cookin ntiquei Aud’s Antics.. by Elaine Gilbert Electric lights: Our contribution to the Christmas tree This week featuring... Debbie Storms The husband of this week's featured cook is a well-known personality in the Hastings area for his work as YMCA director. However, few probably know that Dave Storms' wife, Debbie, was involved in Yprograms before he was. The ’Y’ had a special significance in their initial meeting as well as in their everday life today. "I was involved in Y-work before he was," chuckles Debbie. "I worked as a counselor at a Y-camp in Indiana and Dave had always worked at Boy Scout camp. One year, they (the two groups) decided to have a co-op camp and that's how we met. We became engaged at the end of the summer. After the following summer we were rnarried.” Debbie was bom and raised in Munster, Indiana wture she graduated from high school. She attended Purdue University and then transferred to Michigan State University where she majored in theraputic recreation and received a bachelor of science degree. “We lived for three years in married housing at MSU," she said. Dave's first position with the *Y’ was in North Canton, Ohio. The couple moved to Hastings when he was named Y-di rec tor here in January of 1981. Their three children are Lisa, 9, Mike, 7, and Jimmy, 4. Debbie said she and Dave appreciate living in a small town and have fond feelings for the youth they meet through the Yprograms. For instance, Debbie said she enjoys attending school sports programs because "it's fun to see the kids you know and see them playing and doing their best That’s a fun part of a small town." With Dave's busy work schedule, Debbie says her role is to support what Dave does and help in such a way 'so he can do what he does because it’s important. We make it a family project...we work together...we share a lot together...I’m proud of him and all that he does. "And we've "had so much support from everybody — they do what they can to help out.” Debbie says she keeps pleasantly busy besides trying to keep the family schedule smooth to accommodate all the various Yactivities. • She also has been personally active in Yprograms here. In the summer, she teaches swimming through the Y and in the past, she taught aerobics for three-years. When there is spare time, her interests range from playing the piano to cross country skiing and water skiing. As a child, Debbie said she took piano lessons and about a year ago she decided to take lessons again. A deacon at the Presbyterian Church in Hastings, she also teaches a Sunday School class of three and four year olds. Debbie enjoys needlework, including cross-stitch and quilting by machine. One of her ambitious cross-stitch projects was a Hummel design to hang on the wall. Traverse City is a favorite destination when the Storms family takes a vacation. In the kitchen, a sea foam jello salad is a favorite recipe for Debbie to prepare. “It's good at Christmas or anytime, she says. “It’s rich enough that it can be used as a dessert. It's easy and it tastes good. Il’s festive and it can be made ahead of time." Debbie got the recipe from her mother, Mildred Tokarz. Debbie also shares a recipe for chili which has an interesting combination of spices. It sounds great to serve before or during all the big upcoming bowl games on TV It also freezes well, she said. Debbie’s Sea Foam Salad Ingredients: 1-six oz. package of lime jello; l-large can pears; 2-Tablespoons half and half (or milk); 2-small packages of cream cheese (softened), 1-cup whipping cream, and maraschino cherries for garnish. Boil pear juice combined with enough water to make 2-cups. Mix with jello and chill, but do not set. Cream the cheese with half and half and add to jello and whip. Jell this mixture slightly. Mash pears with a fork and drain. Whip the cream and fold into jello along with pears. Pour into oiled mold and jell til firm. Add cherries to garnish. Serves 12. (This can also be made in an oblong pan). One of Debbie Storms' fovorite recipes is this festive looking green “Seo Foam Salad that is delicious to prepare for Christmas or anytime.

Dr. Earl Newman, director of educational services and chairman of the committee made up of staff members and ad­ ministrators, formally presented the com­ mittee's report to the board at Monday night’s meeting. The committee made the following recommendations concerning graduation requirements: — Distribution of credits: science, two years; English, three years; social studies, three years; math, one year; physical education (health) two years; electives, 11 credits. — Specified courses: senior social studies, one year, ninth grade social studies, one semester; health, one semester; physical science, one semester. Essentially, the differences between the current graduation requirements and the committee recommendations are the ad­ dition of two credits overall, the transfer of health education from the social sutdles area to the physical education area, reducing the physical education requirements by one semester, and the addition of one year of physical science. "The committee discussed this topic with great energy,” Newman told the board. He said that one initial task addressed by the committee was to generate issues regarding graduation requirements. Nineteen issues were identified. Newman explained that the committee focused on thru? items: the total number of credits required for graduation, the distribution of credits and what specific classes should be required. Addressing the question of why we have graduation requirements, Newman said "It is our way of expressing an opinion in teling young people what we think is important,” adding that it "balances the curriculum”, and sends a message that a high school graduate has achieved certain minimum standards. Newman said that 20 to 25 percent of the students will settle for minimums, but most will not. Graduation requirements have not been reviewed or changed in Hastings since 1968, Newman said. He pointed out that education, particularly graduation requirements, have been in lhe forefront of public comment over the past two years. "We did not suggest the consideration of extensive changes at this time,” Newman said. the requirements proposed by the com­ mittee would require a student to take six credits, two years out of four. Newman told the board that it will have choices in implementing the new requirements if they choose to adopt them. The changes could be made-'effective for lhe fall of 1985 for all incoming freshmen or some of the suggestions might apply to next year's freshmen and defer others until the following year, Newman explained. Trustee James Toburen asked how the proposed graduation requirements compare at the state level. Newman said that “by and large what we have is consistent.” Toburen also questioned the value of study halls. Robert VanderVeen, high school principal, said that there is no correlation between study halls and achievement. Trustee Larry Haywood said that he felt that adding credit requirements was ■putting the cart before the horse.” “I’d like to see more time available," he said. Haywood said that except for the obvious problems with funding he'd like to see a seven hour day. “Do you see this (added improvements) as really overall improving the quality of education?" Haywood asked. Newman told him it was an open question. Trustee Richard Shaw said “The fact is the tools or opportunities are here now...if students choose to take advantage of them, more hours doesn't mean a better educaion.” Hoekstra said that she is looking at im­ proving the quality of education and Toburen also argued that "quality" has top priority. “This evening is not the end of the discussion, contact us, drop us a letter or call," Hoekstra said. Thomas Freridge, speaking as a parent and teacher, urged the board to evaluate minimum level classes and come up with a measurement of quality. “I’m against the extra two credits, but in favor of the physical science," Freridge said. “This is not an easy issue. I think we have a lol to consider,” Shaw said. Superintendent Carl Schoessel reminded the board that scheduling is a concern. He said that if changes were going to be made they should be decided upon before the scheduling process begins next semester. The committee reported that if the proposed reouirements are adopted by the board it may lie necessary to hire additional staff members One to two will be need to accomodate those students who will be required to carry six credits for two out of lhe four years, and perhaps one new staff members will be needed in the service department, it was noted. Additional funds for text books for the proposed physical science class, and text­ books for the addition of the social studes course designed to replace the health education course will be needed. The committee acknowledged that the two areas of controversy are the one year requirement in math and the two years of physical education. The report slates that some parents think one year of math i? too little, while others feel that two years of physical education is too much. Out of H school districts in tiie surrounding area or of comparable size to Hastings, eight require only one year of math, six require two years of math, and Albion High School requires three years of math for an honors diploma. Twelve of the districts surveyed require one year or less of physical education. Twelve of the districts surveyed require 20 or more credits for graduation. Albion is at the top requiring 23 credits for an honotx diploma. The members of the graduation requirements committee are Linda Peter, sen, Jean Endsley Darwin Hooker, Jofe-. Scott.

Airport funds, continued the local industry, or hold a raffle or what. But we’ve got to have the money,” said Murphy. The extension of the existing 3,000-foot runway will place Hastings Airport in the general utility category, which will ac­ comodate 90 percent of general aviation. The second phase of the expansion, scheduled for 1987, will lengthen the runway to 5,000 feet, do some fencing around the aiport and build a terminal ramp on the east side of the airport. The project is being undertaken, in part, because the Kent County International Airport has become used primarily for commercial traffic and private planes are being forced to use outlying airports.

Saxon volleyball loses to Grand Ledge, Lakewood The Hastings volleyball team lost to Grand Ledge 14-16, 15-9 and 9-15 and always powerful Lakewood 14-16, 15-9 and 9-15 in its opener on Dec. 17. Laurie Snyder had 12 points and Erin Jacobs 9 against the Comets. Against Lakewood Tracy Spillane led the scoring with 5 points. The junior varsity volleyball team lost to Grand Ledge 14-16, 15-9 and 9-15 while also losing to Lakewood in three games. Martha Kessenich led the team with 11 points and Lisa Smith added 9. Karpinski said the tournament is par­ ticularly attractive Io him because No I. gate revenues will be divided; No. 2, the entire burden of hosting a tournament isn’t dumped on one school, and No. 3. it gives former students home for the holidays a chance to see their old team play. As far as competilior., the inclusion of Twin Valley rival Lakeview into the tournament leaves Karpinski with mixed feelings. In fact, the Saxons already have a league game scheduled with the Spartans this Friday "We didn't realize when we planned the tournament that Lakeview would be a league member," Karpinski explained. "Ideally the tournament would be better with all non­ league schools. But it's something we have to live with."

The consolation game is scheduled for 6:00 p m while the title game is set for 7:30 p.m Also on Dec. 28 at Lakeview the jayvee consolation game and finals will be held at 12:00 p.m. and 1:30 p.m. Hastings Athletic Director Bill Karpinski said Hie four schools have trying to finalize a Christmas tournament since 1982. But as Karpinski notes it's not always easy for schools to juggle its basketball schedules, which allow for 20 regular season dales each season. "I think this is a good plan." said Kar­ pinski of the setup which goes through the 1987-88 season. "We're very excited about it. It gives every school a chance to host a game and that's important." Basketball’s finest foot This is a true story, though the names were changed to protect the hopeless. I have this friend we fondly refer to as Juke Skywalker. Now Juke is a decent enough fellow, but among the many names he's called, "jock” is not one of them. Actually the truth is Juke means to basketball what in the end Scarlet meant Io Rhett, what the hoola-hoop meant to millions of kids in the 1970s, and what Minnesota meant to Reagan in November. In other words, nothing. Absolutely nothing. But don't tell Juke because his Monday nights are special. Mondays are his time on center stage. My friend spends his Mondays playing in the Hastings YMCA Mens Basketball C League. And while it may be gramatically correct to use the words "basketball" and "C league" in the same sentence, the father of basketball. Dr. James Naismilh, would probably roll over in his grave if he watched an hour of this stuff. With all due respect. Dr. Naismith did not intend the sport to be played YMCA C league-style. I accompanied Juke the other night to the Hastings Junior High's east gym to watch the YMCA's C leaguers in action. Now remember I'm used to watching 'he Boston Celtics, the Georgetowns, or at the least the Hastings Saxons of the world play basketball. Watching the C leaguers was something entirely new. Entirely new. After watching the C leaguers for about half an hour (he image of former Hall of Fame manager Casey Stengel popped into my head. Stengel, noted for his witty, off-the-cuff comments, arrived one spring training to manage the lowly New York Mels, losers of well over too games the previous year. He watched his players bumble away play after play until he could stand it no longer "Can't anybody here play this game’’" Ik* finally blurted If Stengel thought his Mots were hilarious, he should have given up baseball for coaching in the C league The C league is made up largely of people like Juke who have precious little desire to lx* bounced around by 6- 6. 220-pound power forwards or caught in the vacuum when a lightning quick point guard blows past you like you're cemented to the floor. The YMCA C leaguers are content with easing the ball up the court, making a shaky pass or two. and then having somebody rocket an off-balance jumper toward the basket. Basketball at this level is rather different. These players actually think a pick is someth*Tg Bill Knapp's hands out free after dinner. Or that a zone defense is what the Russians are preparing to do in outer space. They think Isiah Thomas is a prominent religious figure from the New Testament. There is no doubt in the minds of the C leaguers that a baseline is connected somehow with playing a musical in­ strument. As anyone who has ever been lucky enough to witness a C league game can attest to. there are weird happenings in the C league. In the hour I was there I swear I saw one misplaced Bobby Knight recruit, while standing along the baseline with his back to the basket, fire an over-thehead shot toward the hoop. Somehow I didn't think it strange when it almost went it. An another occasion I witnessed a player trip and fall somewhere near the top of the key and. as he was going down instead of passing off, he still fired a one-hander in the direction of the basket, some 25-feet off. That one wasn't even close. But the thing that sticks out in the C league is the violence. These brutal C leaguers make the Untouchables look like Aunt Martha's Tuesday afternoon bridge players. Punishing fouls — the kind that leave black and blue marks everywhere — are as common as prisoners at San Quentin. I pointed out some of these C league tendencies to Juke as we were walking out. "Aw. we just like to play and have a good time." he said. “It might gel a little rough, but what the heck "By the way. do you know if the Celtics are busy next Monday’’" �Bowling Scores MONDAY MIXERS Alfien & Associates, 39-21; County Seat Lounge, 37-23; Michelob, 36-24; Dennis Hubei Triple A, 35-25; Girrbach’s, 34-26; Carrousel Realty, 34-26; Signs Tire Service, 33-27 Hastings Flower Shop, 33-27; Dewey’s Auto Body, 324-274; Rodee’s, 31-29; Hastings Bowl, 31-29; S.S.

Page 15 From Time to Time... by...Esther Walton MISTLE DOUGH I The Christmas Tree Reprinted from The Hastings Herald How It originated How It Is Seemed For the Market, and Some Interesting Leg­ ends of the Dim Past by Walton Wiilliams The Christmas tree goes so far back into the night of time that it is quite impossible to tell where or by whom it was first introduced. Almost every country has its legend claiming for its own the tree which bears such generous fruit. In Scandinavia it is said to have sprung from the "service tree,” which germinated from soil soaked by the blood of two unfortunate lovers, a claim substantiated by the statement that at Christmastide inextinguishable lights gleamed from its green branches. In a French romance of the thirteenth century a great tree is described whose branches are covered with burning candles and on whose top is the vision of a child with a halo round its head, the tree and candles representing mankind and the child the infant Saviour. A beautiful German story credits SL Winfred with giving the Christmas tree to the world. The story is illustrative of the gospel supplanting paganism. Before a group of converts St. Winfred felled a great oak which had been an object of the worahip to the Druids. A fine young fir tree immediately ap­ peared in its place, on seeing which St. Winfred said: “This little tree, a young child of the forest, shall be your holy tree tonight. It is the wood of peace, for your houses are built of fir. It is the sign ofan endless life, for its leaves are ever green. See bow it points upward to heaven. Let it be called the tree of the Christ Child. Gather about it, not in the wildwood, but in your homes. There it will shelter no deeds of blood, but loving gifts." Many Germans hold that Martin Luther first conceived the Christmas tree. One of the most popular of Ger­ man engravings represents him sitting in the bosom of his family, with a lighted Christmas tree on the table before him. Luther was traveling alone one Christmas eve. The snow covered country and the trees gleaming at every point with the reflected light of the winter moon made upon the great reformer the deepest impression. Going home, he went into the garden and, cutting a little fir tree, brought it into the nursery, put some candles on its branches and lighted them to reproduce the effect of the beautiful moonlit trees in the forest. Antiquarians connect the Christmas tree with the great tree Yggdrasil of Norse mythology or with the pine trees of the Roman saturnalia, the pagan forerunner of our Christmas. Others look to the ancient Egyptians as originators of the idea. These men were wont to decorate their houses at the time of the winter solice with branches of the date palm, emblems of im­ mortality and of the starlit firmament In mediaeval times there was a tradition that holiness invested an l-ocal airman earns promotion Bret A. Hilliker, son of Hervey H. and Janice M. Hilliker of 1824 Barber Rd., Hastings, has been oromoted in the U.S. Air illuminated tree. Candles were used by the Jews in their Fest of Lights, which was celebrated at this season. The Greeks also call Christmas the Feast of Lights. The Romans in their saturnalia decorated trees with images of Roman gods as well as with candles and burned Yule logs in honor of these gods. The early Christians, however, frowned upon all such pagan adjuncts to the Christmas celebration. With them the Feast of the Nativity was the extreme of sc'imnity, and they were as much opposed to Christmas trees and lights, music and laughter, as were the Puritans. The first authentic account of the Christmas tree is not recorded until the sixteenth century. It appears in a German manuscript, and, as the Germans responded least to Latin influences of all the nations which fell beir to the Roman empire's lands, to them rather than to the Romans must be ascribed the honor of introducing it. It was the marriage of Queen Victoria to a German prince which brought the modem Christmas tree to England, and a German immigrant started the custom in America. The first Christmas tree in France was lighted in the Tuileries in IMO by the Duchess Helena. To view the great heaps of Christmas trees which line the market streets of our big cities just before the holidays one would fancy that scarcely a tree could be left standing of the murmuring hemlocks which constituted Longfellow's forest primeval. Every hard timber state in the Union is called upon by Santa Claus for its tribute of redolent balsam that tie may have plenty of places on which to hang his presents. There is only one true Christmas tree — the balsam fir. The hemlock proper has branches too dropping and flexible to hold a great weight of Christmas gifts, and the spruce, while otherwise suitable, lacks the spicy odor of the balsam. This is fortunate, for the tree most prized for Christmas purposes is utterly despised by the lumberman. Before the Christmas tree industry began the fir lands of Maine were ac­ tually exempted from taxation as worthless. Now they are worth from $10 to $15 an acre. The Christmas tree cutters began work early, usually about the middle of October. While some of them are cutting others follow them and drag the trees ot the nearest open space, where they are bunched and tied so that they will not come apart in shipping. At the nearest depot they are loaded on cars, 2,500 trees to the car. The men receive $1.50 a day and board. It takes seven men working five weeks to get out three carloads. The Christmas tree output depends a good deal on the weather. With an open fall, when the trees are easy to get at, the crop will be much larger than when the snow falls early and heavily. If the snow melts and then freezes on the branches It makes them brittle, and they break in transit. WELTON’S, INC. 401 N. Broadway.

J ' by Ken Reibel The cases of a Woodland man and 4 others, sentenced to indefinite jail terms for violating a court injunction against trespassing at a cruise mtosle engine plant, will be heard by the Michigan Court of Ap­ peals, said one of the lawyers representing the group. According to Detroit Attorney Deb Choly, the case was schedule to be heard by the higher court sometime Wednesday, prior to press time. Meanwhile, in an open letter, the jailed demonstrators have sworn to "fast rather than feast" starting Christmas Day, as a further protest against the arms race. Ralph Townsend and 12 other self­ described peace activists were arrested Dec. 3 on misdemeanor charges of trespassing and failing to obey a police officer, while blocking an entrance to Williams In­ ternational in Walled Lake. Each of the 13 pleaded guilty to both counts and were fined $50 on each count in Oakland County's 56th District Court. On Dec. 7, the protestors were told by Oakland Circuit Court Judge Francis ■ Obrien that ’hey could avoid jail by premising never to return to Williams In­ ternational. "None of the defendants could do that, so, in a new twist, the judge gave the people an alternative," said Choly. “To either be in jail or work with the Salvation A doll of a drawingKen Witker, manager of the Hastings JC Penny's store, is shown here drawing one of the luck 24 names that were registered to purchase a 'red hot' Cabbage Patch doll.

Downed pole disrupts power A Consumers Power spokesman said that 173 Nashville homes were without power Wednesday after a truck knocked down a utility pole south of town. The accident happened at 11 a.m. on M-66 south of Nashville, said the spokesman, William Mabin. He said power was restored at 2:05 p.m. According th Barry County Sheriff Department reports, a semi-truck driven by Elmer Graham, 70. Lowell, was northbound on M-66, W mile south of Bivens Road, when his trailer started to swerve to the east, causing the truck to jackknife The truck then left the west side of the road, and struck a utility pole located 41 feet from the edge of the road. Deputies blamed Icy roads and high winds for the mishap. Price 25< Peace activist’s case being heard by court Fire levels local foster home Units from three fire departments battled a blaze for eight hours Sunday night, but were unable to save a foster home located in Maple Grove Road Township. The occupants of the home, described as a woman and two fester care patients, escaped the blaze, which was reported at 9:20 p.m. The home to located on Maple Grove R oad about one mile east of M-ffi Nashville Fire Chief Doug Yarger said the fire at the Chester Beardsley residence apparently started in the basement, and was fully involved when units from Nashville, Hastings and Vermontville arrived. He said firefighters had to clear away the rubble created when the roof and second story fell, to reach a fire in a crawl space under the kitchen portion of the home. Yarger estimated damage to the home at 170,000. Herald firefighters were able to salvage a safe containing state records and cash. Thursday, December 27,1984 Joe Al toft recently won a 1985 Chevrolet Chevette by investing a dollar in a union raffle at work. Hastings man wins new automobile for Christmas Joo Alton. E Carlton Center Road, beat odds of ) in 140,000 to win a 1985 Chevrolet Chevette for Christmas. Altoft bought a single $1 ticket from a union representative at his job at Bradford White in Middleville. The drawing was held by the Regional U.A.W. "This is the first thing I ever won. Well. I’ve won some hams bowhng, but never anything like this," said Altoft. who lives with his wife. Rebecca, and their 18-monthold daughter. Kimberly. The drawing was held Saturday, Dec. 15. in Grand Rapids, while Altoft was out of town. His co-workers had fun breaking the news to him. ••They called me to the office at work Monday, and I thought I'd gotten myself in trouble or something." said Altoft. •The bosses had me going for about an hour, said I was in trouble with the l.R.S. Then they had me talk to the union official in Grand Rapids, and Ik* told me 1 won a new car.” Altoft said he owns two vehicles now — a 1979 Olsmobile and a 1980 Dodge pickup — and he's not sure if he'll sell one. or pay in­ surance on all three. ■•I'll make that decision after the first of the year." he said. Altoft said the union paid the sales tax on the new car, and that in all the vehicle cost him 533. “I paid $30 for the license. $2 for the title transfer, and $1 for the ticket." Not bad. eh? Army, until they promised." Choly said one of the protestors referred to the sentence as "A choice between indefinite jail time and indentured servitude." One demonstrator, described as an Ann Arbor area farmer, chose working with the Salvation Army. The other 12 spent Christmas in jail, said Choly, who is volunteering her time to defend the protestors. She filed an emergency appeal on Townsend's and four others’ behalf last week. At issue is whether the judge can apply civil contempt charges against the protestors. Choly said such charges are linked to "a promise for the future", and are usually reserved for child support cases. Williams International has had a per­ manent injunction for over a year that en­ joins individuals from trespassing. She said the company has asked for civil contempt charges and indefinite jail terms against demonstrators several times in the past year. Choly said criminal contempt is more appropriate, and carries up to 30 days in jail, and a fine of $250. Mildred Townsend, Ralph Townsend’s wife.’ said staying in jail is a matter of principle for the demonstrators. “Their conscience tells them they can’t promise never to demonstrate there again. The judge is attaching that belief to whether they could come home for Christmas." A letter from Ralph Townsend and the protestors said they chose to stay in jail "As a form of service to the community in the hopes that this will move the people to break the cycle of violence that is epitomized in the suicidal arms race." The letter, received here last week, con­ tinues: “We view the indefinite sentence as an attempt by Williams International, with the cooperation of the court, to intimidate us and anyone who might resist the arms race. But we are not afraid to stand up to the powers that be. As a further service to thv community we wish to offer a gift of hope starting on Christmas Day. "To us Christmas is a celebration of joy and hope in a caring God who comes to show us the ways to peace and social justice in our broken world. This act is a call to all to show compassion and forgiveness to all. especially enemies. Therefore we wiH begin to fast rather than feast on Christmas Day in order to show our solidarity with the millions of children and poor who go hungry every day because of the arms race "Since we are all victims of and respon­ sible for the suicidal arms race, we invite others to join us at any time in this pact of hopeful resistance." County’s '84 New Year’s baby ready to celebrate first birthday Heather Marie Burroughs, Barry County’s first born child in 1964, has enjoyed a fabulous first Christmas and to getting ready to celebrate her very first birthday. Dressed in a beautiful red velvet dress, trimmed in white lace, Heather smiled almost without hesitation for a Banner photographer this week while she played with her new Christmas toys. Heather arrived at Pennock Hospital right on New Year’s Day to win the Banner's “First Baby of 1984 Contest." The daughter of Kathleen and Monte Burroughs of Delton, Heather was born at 7:12 a.m., edging out two other babies who also were bom that day at Pennock. Now, almost a year later, she is a petite, friendly little girl who tips the scales at 17Ibs. She has curly sandy brown hair, blue eyes, and eiglf-teeth. Heather "loved Christmas,” said her mother. "She opened up her presents and she was real surprised. Her eyes got as big as 50cent pieces.” The next big event for Heather is this Tuesday when she’ll be one-year-old. The family plans a celebration for her at an aunt and uncle’s home. Heather's already making attempts to walk and took her first step on Dec. 1. Her longest “walk" totaled about 12-sleps. "She tries to talk and says Mama, Daddy, bye-bye, hi, and Nana for Grandma and Grandpa. She waves her arms quite a bit when she says bye," said Mrs. Burroughs. "She dances and swings her arms." One of Heather’s favorite pastimes is “getting into things," laughs Mrs. Burroughs. "She also likes to look out the window because it’s a good view of the street. But, getting her hair washed is one activity she doesn't care for at all. “She sings (herself) to sleep,” and when she's awake, she tries to sing along when someone sings. She's really something special." “I hope the new New Year's Mother and Father are just as happy as my husband and I are to have a New Year's Baby...it’s very special. I wish them the best of luck," said Mrs. Burroughs. Heather Marie Burroughs, who has reigned as Barry County’s first baby of 1984, has enjoyed a busy 12 months. Here she plays with one of her new Christmas toys, a cute little dog that was a gift from her father. For the first 1985 baby bom in wedlock to Barry County parents, within the boundaries of the county, it will be just like Christmas. That's because 24-gifts will be given to the new baby and parents by area merchants who are participating in the Banner’s “First Baby of 1985 Contest." All the rules are in­ cluded in a special full-page ad in this issue. Gifts for the county's first born of '85 in­ clude six $10 gift certificates, a free dinner for Mom, a framed miniature portrait, a floral arrangement for Mom while she's in the hospital, a baby book, four $5 gift cer­ tificates, a $10 savings account, slippers for Mom, baby’s own first book, a vaporizer, a baby ring, tiny baby shoes, a $10 start on a $50 Christmas Club, a cuddler, a special surprise gift and a one-year subscription to the Banner. �Page 2 — The Hastings Banner - Thursday, December 27, 1984 FIRST BABY OF 1985 I1 Who will be thefirst Barry County baby of the new year? f t 1z ftjR. & ' *<•: 1 The merchants of Barry County have collected several gifts for the ( lucky tot that qualifies. ---------- "■> The winning baby must be born in wedlock to Barry County parents within the boundries of the county.

December 27, 1984. Page 3 VIEWPOINT: Officers’ special deeds to be awarded Commentaries from our editorial staff and the community — EDITORIAL Let’s sing it the old way It seems to be a paradox that this nation overwhelmingly reelected Ronald Reagan in November on his campaign of reviving family, religious and patriotic values and then chose “Grandma Got Run Over by a Reindeer" as the number one song on the Christmas hit parade in December. Whatever happened to “White Christmas" and “Joy to the World"? As we’ve said many times before, Hastings is a place where small town values are important and that is the reason that many of us enjoy living here. We should pledge to make our local environment even more outstanding by working to develop those values in all of our institutions. In this age when the top Christmas song makes a mockery of the celebration, we could make ourselves an exceptional com­ munity by promoting Hastings and Barry County as the place that is traditional. We already have the framework — a friendly downtown business district, a medium-sized school system that gets strong support from volunteer organizations, a healthy United Way organization that spends most of its money on programs for children, sixty-some churches in die county that are active and growing, many small- to medium-sized industries owned by local people, civic organizations that devote their labors to improving the community, and a hospital that is well-known for quality care with small town concern. Our Summer-Fest continues to be a success because it is a weekend of hometown fun. While other county fairs may bring in top name entertainers, the biggest part of our fair has been the FFA and 4-H activities. Hastings and its surrounding areas have progressed economically while retaining those values which we prize. Let the rest of the country sing “Grandma Got Run Over by a Reindeer" if they want, but we’ll sing out loudly in the traditional way. Former local resident receives awards for volunteer services Outstanding service and extraordinary actions by Hastings City Police officers will be recognized with special awards, said Chief Mark Steinfort. The awards, modelled after the service bars for Michigan Stale Police troopers, are for valor, bravery, meritorious service and lifesaving. Steinfort said the awards are important for morale, and an impetus towards higher achievement. "Being a police officer is a thankless job, but there are occassions when an officer's actions constitute bravery. Instead of just saying You did a good job', now, with the medals, we can say ‘You did a great job’" said Steinfort. Steinfort outlined the criteria for an officer receiving each award. The citation for valor, the highest award, is reserved for "exceptional cases where a law enforcement member risks his or her life in performing a hazardous duty," noted Steinfort. adding “The act must be of such an extraordinary nature that the exposure to peril is above and beyond the call of duty." The second highest award, the citation for bravery, is for an officer that performs an act in the line of duty "knowingly en­ dangering himself to serious injury, and where because of 'he nature of the action, a life may be saved, a serious crime preven­ ted. or a person arrested who has committed a serious crime." The citation for meritorious service is for services rendered where diligence and perseverence lead to accomplishing a dif­ ficult task that goes beyond what is normally expected of an officer, where a crime is prevented, life and property protected, or criminal apprehended. The lifesaving citation is for personally saving a life. The act may involve CPR, the Heimlich maneuver for choking victims. "Actions meriting this award shall be significant actions by the enforcement member, and not routine measures unless such measure are performed under difficult or dangerous conditions," said Steinfort. Hastings City Police officers may currently earn service bars for physical physical fitness and marksmanship. — Local Births — IT’S A GIRL Mark and Debra (Osgood) England of Tucson, Ariz., Danielle Lyn, born Nov. 30, at Tucson Medical Center.

PUBLIC OPINION: Santa Claus gave up his sleigh for a marked police cruiser Saturday, as Hastings City Police exterded a sharing hand for the holidays. The officers do­ nated food and gifts for the cause, and selected a local family in need through the Department of Social Services. With SanTp'ore Detective Dana Steidle (left) and Officer Al Stanton. Polly Milstead, a former Hastings resident who now resides in Little Rock, Arkansas, recently received several awards for her outstanding volunteer service to St. Vincent Hospital in that state. Mrs. Milstead and her late husband Norman lived on S. Broadway in Hastings for about 10-years, first moving here in the early 19€te. While living in Hastings, Mrs. Milstead was active as a volunteer at Pen­ nock Hospital too and enjoyed gardening. Her husband was employed with Hastings Manufacturing. She is now 76-years-young and has logged 14,000-hours of volunteer service in Arkansas. Mrs. Milstead has served as historian for that hospital's auxiliary, and she still takes wheelchair patients around in the hospital and does some typing, said Agnes Karas of Hastings, a friend who corresponds with Mrs. Milstead. An Arkansas television station, KARK, selected Mrs. Milstead from a field of 93nominees to receive its Community Service Award in recognition of her volunteer work at the hospital. She also received a national award presented by the Dallas regional office of the Department of Health and Human Services. President Ronald Reagan also sent her an autographed photo with a note on it. Mrs. Karas has fond memories of happy times spent with the Milsteads when they lived in Hastings. "She (Mrs. Milstead) was always ready to do things" including ice skating. “They were like family to us." Hostings Chief of Police Mark Steinfort shows the special service bars which will go to police officers who exhibit extraordinary bravery and skill in the line of duty. With any opinion-type column— be It ■ newspaper commentator’s or a man-on-thestreet as this one is— time soon proves whether the comments were accurate, inaccurate, or worse yet inconsequential. Today's *bo<* issue or controversy, within six months or a year, may prove to have been less so- On the other hand, something that seemed minor at the time may well evolve Into a more substantial matter. And. of course, there are all those 'tempest-ln-lheteapots* that grab our attention for a brief time and excite passions, only to then fade off into usually well-deserved oblivion. With that in mind, we thought we'd look back on some of the public opinion questions that were asked during 1984. Jan. 12— How much credit did Jesse Jackson, a presidential candidate, deserve for securing the release of an American flier from Syria? Most of the respondanls thought Jackson had an ulterior, politically-motivated reason his actions, but were happy to see the flier released, whatever the reason. Nobody thought it would make him the president, but one person thought he'd get the vice presidential nomination. (Jesse proved to be more substantial candidate than many thought before the primary season, but the release of the flier, and its resulting publicity, was probably the highwater mark of his candidacy.) for a Central students perform play — The fourth graders of Central School in Hastings provided a bit of Christmas en­ tertainment by presenting three holidays plays to parents and friends lost week.

(The Raiders, of course, won, making half the persons polled ‘wrong’.) ‘ Feb. IS— Does the deficit worry you? Everyone polled felt it was a problem and that something needed to be done to curb it One respondent felt it would be coming more and more to the forefront during the up­ coming presidential campaign. There were a couple of persons who felt that Reagan had "gone way overboard on defense". Others though felt he was on the right track in his economic policies. March IS— Do you favor a constitutional admendment allowing school prayer in public schools? Like the issue itself, which has been with us for a number of years and was brought up again during the Reagan-Mondale cam­ paign, the responses were varied. There were the two extremes of 'yes, they should' (held by four people) and 'no way' (held by two people). There was one response, stating that prayer was important but should be done in a church or family setting, and another one stating that "anyone can pray anywhere they want, and at anytime they want" and that the issue was “more a political football than a serious attempt at promoting spiritual values". May 31— The Detroit Tigers were oft to a great start. Du you think they can keep this torrid pace and win the pennant?

June 21— Do you think it's proper for the federal government to pressure states (by cutting back highway dollars) into raising their minimum drinking age to 21 years? Three people felt it was a good idea because it would cut down on accidents. Two people felt the matter should be left to the individual states. Two people felt if you were old enough to be considered an adult, then you should also be allowed to legally drink. And one person said that he didn’t think raising the age would "make a big dif­ ference"; that, while he didn't think it was right, minors can always find someone to buy liquor for them. June 28— Walter Mondale captured headlines by tnferviewing several women, along with some men. as possible vice presidential candidates. Do you think the selection of a female running mate could help him in the fall election? The general consensus at that time was that a woman running mate was a good idea or that it was a good idea but they were uncertain about whether it would help his chances. One person, however, felt he was doing it just for publicity. (Everyone is still trying to call that one. Did she or didn't she help?) Aug. 9— Mondale said that Reagan would have to raise taxes to curb the deficit, but Isn't telling the American people about it. The President countered that he has no such plans, and vowed that he would not raise personal income taxes In 1985. Do you believe him? Must of the respondanls felt he wouldn’t raise taxes. Two felt he would probably have to. One person said she was disgusted with the campaign and planned to move to Europe. (Any room on the plane?) Aug. 30— A lot of controversy has been inspired about Geraldine Ferraro's finances. Do you think candidates for public office should be required to reveal their personal finances, or at least as much as they now have to reveal? The respondents weren’t overly inspired on this question, unlike the national television newscasters. However, the eight people interviewed were split on the question. Sept. 6— Reagan ordered a nation-wide search for a teacher to fly into space aboard a space shuttle in 1985. Eight Hastings teachers were asked if such an experience would benefit them, and if it would benefit their students. All but one thought it would be a great', tremendous', ‘very interesting', new ad­ venture’ to accompany a space crew. The lone dissenter wished her fellow teacher a ‘bon voyage’, but preferred to stay on earth. They all thought it would make them belter jeachers and would, thus, benefit their pupils. (A unpublished poll of students found all in favor of sending the eight teachers on the next available flight) �Pag. 4— The Halting* Banner—Thursday, December 27, 1984 a. b. c. d.

In earlier times, the kitchen provided a “nesting" place for the family. Around the turn of the century, the big iron cookstove was the focal point in every kitchen It not only provided heat for cooking, but also heat for comfort. Heat was a scarce commodity in homes, as every room to be healed required a stove or fireplace. The kitchen was the central hub of family activity. It was used for everylhing from nursing a weak, newborn farm animal, to ac­ commodating a quilting bee. It held aromas of fresh dough rising near the warming oven; cinnamon and freshly simmered applesauce, and stalks of dill hanging from the ceiling beams to dry. The big, warm kitchen provided a haven for newborn kittens and puppies, and was also the scenario for the "Saturday night bath” taken in large tubs in back of the stove. The kitchen rang with children's laughter as they played around the feel of their busy mother. It also held reverence as the family read the Bible and prayed together there. The big kitchen table was of great importance then. It was not only used for eating, but for bathing the baby, mixing ingredients and rolling out pie dough, cutting up freshly butchered meal, and a host of other duties. Then in 1908 the Scars and Roebuck catalog pictured and described two full pages of kitchen cabinets to be used as "complete work centers” in the most important room in the house — the kitchen. “Hoosier" cabinet is a generic term used by some, but there were other manufacturers. One such company was the Sellers Co. of Indiana. They em­ bossed each door latch with the letter “S". The earliest cupboards had coun­ tertops of zinc; some were porcelain over iron. Fancier models added a sugar bin in a full right-hand door. Around the turn of the century, each home had at least one piece of good strong oak furniture and because oak was so sturdy, there is still much of it around today. Many kitchen cabinets were made of oak. The early kitchen cabinet represented advancement in kitchen furniture and was manufactured in great quantities in the late 19th and beginning of the 20th centuries. It was designed to organize and facilitate work within a small area. Costs listed in mail-order catalogues seem surprisingly inexpensive by today's monetary standards. Sears* cheapest cabinet (without a top> sold for $3.50. Their finest cabinet with a cupboard top sold for $8.45. Made of hardwood, the topless cabinet at $3.50 contained two flour bins and two ample drawers with compartments for cutlery and two sliding cutting boards. For $1.45 more you could buy a similar cabinet made of selected white wood that contained a flour bin for 60 pounds of flour, two meal or sugar bins, one breadboard and meat board, and two large drawers advertised as being mouse and dustproof. The bins could be easily lifted out for cleaning. The cheapest cabinets were shipped from Chicago but higher grade cabinets (with or without tops) were shipped directly from factories in central In­ diana. Names of five Indiana manufacturers of kitchen cabinets were: Sellers, at Elwood, Ind.; Boone, location unknown; Hoosier, at New Castle; Nappanee, at Nappanee, Ind.; and McDougall at Franklin, Inc. Cabinets with tops usually measured about seven feet in height, four feet in width end 28 inches deep. The cupboard was divided into sections which could boused for assorted articles required in the kitchen. For convenience and safety in shipping the lower portions, the legs were removed and placed inside the cabinet. The $8.45 cabinet was designed to hold baking powder, baking soda, large salt and pepper boxes, condiments and other various seasonings. It also provided a separate compartment for a rolling pin. Four deep drawers held string, corks and miscellaneous kitchen gadgets. In addition, there was a large shelf for a soap box, a row of brass nooks for an egg beater, a butcher knife, large kitchen spoons, etc., and a generous shelf on top running the full width of the cabinet for cans of coffee and tea. A more ornamental cabinet for $8.19 had a handsome top with glass doors rather than panels or individual compartments. The sum of $13.25 bought still a more splendid style of cabinet constructed of oak. There was considerable variance in patterns. Some kitchen cabinets were fitted with flour bins and built-in sifters, some with storage racks for utensils. Other models included coffee grinders. The sliding door on the Hoosier model cabinet opened side-ways rather than up-and-down. Flour sacks, when emptied, were used for everything from child’s clothing, pillow cases and dish towels, and more. Because flour was sold in 25 pound bags and larger, there was ample material for the thrifty homemaker. Another company, the Wilson, represented cabinets as a complete kitchen in a small space occupying only the floor space of a single kitchen table. Their cabinets were made of satin walnut, with two kneading and chop­ ping boards and brass handles. The top section had a roomy china cabinet with glass doors and spring fasteners. Around 1920, more thought seemed to be given to organization in the kitchen. The mechanical refrigerator and new styles of furniture changed the look of the kitchen. For the first time, kitchens were designed with an eye for function and appearance. Gas and electric ap­ pliances replaced coal, wood, and kerosene ranges. Refrigerators and stoves were enameled in off-white and later in pale blue, yellow or green so that all appliances matched. In an effort to blend with other items in the kitchen, enameled sinks replaced those of zinc, which had replaced the old hand pump. Kitchens with built-in cabinets were painted in bright colors. Linoleum covered counters replaced the kitchen cabinet's pull-out shelf. A 1931 mail-order catalogue ran an ad for a Hoosier cupboard (cabinet), stating that it was available in green, gray or white enamel inside and out or in golden oak exterior finish and green enamel interior." Since the 1960s, young families have been filling their homes with furniture of the 1890s to the 1930s. I can't think of anything smarter or more profitable. Yesterday's bargains are today’s antiques. Their value has increased substantially and will continue to do so. To my readers: May your New Year be filled with as much love and com­ passion as you've shown others this past year. Generosity and love, freely given, comes back into our own lives ten-fold. �The Hostings Bonner - Thursday, December 27, 1984 Page 9 LEGAL NOTICES KOIKE 01 FOKCIMJIE ULI Default having been made in the condition of a certain mort­ gage made on the 31 *i day of Moy, 1983 by Lynn E.

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.
