Monte Munjoy, Brian Oosterhouse and Bob Vandenberg gathered up 24 points to be the runner-up to the Class C winners, Detroit Lutheran West. Munjoy placed fourth in both the shot put and the discus; Ooster­ house was second in the low hurdles (setting a new school record of 38:5) and fourth in the high hurdles; Vandenberg took a fourth in the mile run. Considering there are over 160 Class C schools in the State and over 80 schools were represented in the meet, Middleville is indeed proud of these three “sons.” In the girls competition, Tammy Babcock placed fifth in the mile run at state as she carried TK’* coion. �Page 2 / June 4, 1981 / The Sun and News, Middleville, Michigan Find Balloon Near Charlotte LETTERS Comment* from our reader* may be ex pressed in thi* column All lettet* must be signed, but name* will be withheld for good reason and at the discretion of the newspaper Views express­ ed in this column are not necessarily those of The Sun and News Middleville Brownies in Troops 206 and 15 will be interested in the following letter received as a result of their balloon ascension on May 5th: “Dear Joy “I am sorry I have taken so long in sending information to you about your balloon.

One board member will be elected and millage issues concerning the quality of education will be decided. Mr. Duane Thatcher stands head and shoulders above all the other candidates in intelligence and knowledge of the workings and problems of the schools. There has been some talk of a conflict of interest on the part of Duane. I can assure you that his intelligence and integrity would not allow him to do any­ thing but what is best for the TK School district and the students. Anyone that would think otherwise just does not know Duane Thatcher. 1 am sure the other candidates are also fine people, but we need Duane Thatcher on the TK School Board. Make it so Vote.

These Zoning Ordinance Amendments have the following effect: 1. A new chapter has been added to the zoning Ordinance for the Village of Middleville, entitled Chapter XXI, entitled Flood Hazard Areas. These regulations are in effect in a flood hazard overlay zone, which is designated by the flood hazard boundary map of the Village of Middleville prepared by the Federal Insurance Admi­ nistration, No. H01, dated July 18, 1975. The regulations require that all develop­ ment within this flood hazard zone be done in compliance with minimum regula­ tions promulgated by the U.S. Depart­ ment of Housing and Urban Development, and require that standards be followed in construction to minimize or eliminate damage due to flooding. 2. The other amendments to the Ordi­ nance remove the duty to decide all re­ quests for special use permits from the Board of Appeals, and grants this authority to the Planning Commission. In addition, the maximum fine for a violation of this Zoning Ordinance has been increased from $100.00 to $500.00 The Ordinance is effective upon pub­ lication, and a copy of the Ordinance amendment may be purchased or inspect­ ed at the Village Hall for the Village of Middleville, during regular business hours.

COUNSELOR CORNER By Bernie Weller, Middle School Counselor “STRESS AND DISTRESS” As our society becomes more complex and the pressures of daily living increase, we bear more and more about stress and the effects that stress has on our health. It’s a real and serious threat to our self fulfillment and happiness. The following article comes from the National Insti­ tute of Mental Health Plain Talk Series Hilda Field, Editor. • A 19-year old girl learns her boy­ friend has been killed in an auto accident. • A businessman loses an important business deal to his competitor. • An athlete receives a first place award for his efforts in a track event. • A 15-year old boy approaches a girl to ask her out for the first time. What do all of these people and situa­ tions have in common? Stress’ This may surprise you because the last two situa­ tions both involve happy events. The fact is that it doesn’t matter whether the situa­ tion is pleasant or unpleasant, according to Hans Selye, M.D. What counts is the intensity of the demand it places on you to readjust. Dr. Selye, a Montreal, Canada, physician and author of several books on stress, calls these incidents “stressors.” He states that the physical reaction of the body to stress is basically the same, regardless of the stressor. Furthermore, he feels that the only complete freedom For long lasting,care-free beauty...Landscaping Timbers of ALL WEATHER WOOD Ideal for retaining walls, steps, raised beds, patios and all garden constructions, It’s the wood that fights rot • protected by the Osmose K-33 pressure treating system that locks preservatives In wood fibers • resistant to rot decay and termites • care free - does not need staining or painting • if fin­ ishing is desired, ALL WEATHER WOOD preservatives ad as an In-depth prime coat • non-toxic to plants • non-oily and odorless • dean and dry to the touch We maintain a broad inventory of ALL WEATHER WOOD lumber and timbers in sizes to fit all your exterior building needs Count on us tor lumber, hardware and helpful building tips 'WEATHER kWOODJ CALEDONIA LUMBER 115 Kinsey St CALEDONIA, MICH.

Humans thrive on stress because it makes life more interest­ ing. No matter what you are doing, you are under some amount of stress. Even while you sleep, your body must continue to function and react to the stress imposed by dreaming. Stress comes from two ba­ sic forces - the stress of physical activity and the stress of mental/emotional ac­ tivity. It is interesting to note that stress from emotional frustration is more likely to produce disease, such as ulcers, than stress from physical work or exercise. In fact, physical exercise can relax you and help you deal with mental stress. Stress or distress Then would it be true to assume there is no such thing as bad stress? Dr. Selye feels that there is a type of stress that can be harmful. He calls it distress. Distress is continual stress that causes you to constantly readjust or adapt. For example, having a job you do not like can be con­ stantly frustrating, and frustration is ‘bad’ stress. If this distress lasts long enough, it can result in fatigue, exhaustion, and even physical or mental breakdown. The best way to avoid it is to choose an environ­ ment that allows you to do the activities you enjoy, and are meaningful to you. Your friends, your work, and even your future mate can be sources of challenging good stress or harmful distress. Dr. Selye also believes that the absence of work is not necessarily a way to avoid stress. An example of this is the retired person who has nothing to do. Boredom then becomes an enemy capable of caus­ ing tremendous distress. Work is actually good for you as long as you can achieve something by doing it. It will only wear you out if it becomes frustrating because of failure or lack of purpose. To avoid distress, you should seek work or tasks that: a) you are capable of doing, b) you really enjoy c) other people appreciate. Body Reactions to Stress Regardless of the source of stress, states Dr Selye, your body has a threestage reaction to it: Stage I - Alarm; Stage 2 - Resistance and Stage 3 - Exhaus­ tion. In the alarm stage, your body recog­ nizes the stressor arid prepares for fight or flight. This is done by a release of hormones from the endocrine glands. These hormones will cause an increase in heartbeat and respiration, elevation in blood sugar level, increase in perspiration, dilated pupils, and slowed digestion. You will then choose whether to use this burst of energy to fight or flee. In the resistance stage, your body re­ pain any damage caused from the stress. If, however, the stressor does not go away, the body cannot repair the damage and must remain alert. This plunges you into the third stage exhaustion. If this state continues long enough, you may develop one of the “diseases of stress,” such as migraine headaches, heart irregularity, or even mental illness. Continued exposure to stress during the exhaustion stage causes the body to run out of energy, and may even stop bodily functions. Since you cannot build a life com­ pletely free from stress or even distress, it is important that you develop some ways of dealing with stress. Getting a Handle on Stress, Distress Recognizing that stress has a lifelong influence on you, what can you do about handling it? Doctors have come up with a few suggestions on how to live with stress. 1. Work off stress. If you are angry or upset, try to blow off steam physically by activities such as running, playing tennis or gardening. Even ta king a walk can help. Physical activity allows you a “fight’’ outlet for mental stress. 2. Talk out your worries, it helps to share worries with someone you trust and respect. This may be a friend, family member, clergyman, teacher or counselor. Sometimes another person can help you see a new side to your problem and thus, a new solution. If you find yourself be­ coming preoccupied with emotional problems, it might be wise to seek a pro­ fessional listener, like a guidance coun­ selor or psychologist . This is not admit­ ting defeat. It is admitting you are an in­ telligent human being who knows when to ask for assistance. 3. Learn to accept what you cannot change. If the problem is beyond your control at this time, try your best to accept it until you can change it. It beats spinning your wheels, and getting no­ where. 4. Avoid self-medication. Although there are many chemicals, including alcohol, that can mask stress symptoms, they do not help you adjust to the stress itself. Many are habit-forming, so the decision to use them should belong to your doctor. It is a form of flight reaction that can cause more stress than it solves. The ability to handle stress comes from within you, not from the outside. 5. Get enought sleep and rest. Lack of sleep can lessen your ability to deal with stress by maing you more irritable. Most people need at least seven to eight hours of sleep out of every 24. If stress repeated­ ly prevents you from sleeping, you should inform your doctor. 6. Balance work and recreation. “All work and no play can make Jack a ner­ vous wreck.” Schedule time for recreation to relax your mind. Although inactivity can cause boredom, a little loafing can ease stress. This should not be a constant escape, but occasionally, you deserve a break. 7. Do something for others. Some­ times when you are distressed, you con­ centrate too much on yourself and your situation. When this happens, it is often wise to do something for someone else, and get your mind off of yourself. There is an extra bonus in this technique • it helps make friends. 8. Take one thing at a time - it is de­ feating to tackle all your tasks at once. Instead, set some aside and work on the most urgent. 9. Give in once in a while. If you find the source rff your stress is other people, try giving in instead of fighting and insist­ ing you are always right. You may find that others will begin to give in, too. 10. Make yourself available. When you are bored and feel left out, go where the action is! Sitting alone will just make you more frustrated. Instead of withdraw­ ing and feeling sorry for yourself, get in­ volved. Is there a play or musicsl coming up? Chances are they will need help backstage. Get yourself back there and somebody will probably hand you a hammer or paint brush. � https://barrycountyhistoryportal.org/files/original/25/691/SunandNews_1981-06-11.pdf 7c37813c11b8d7e9a401a2a6c6a41794 PDF Text Text Hastings Public Library 121 Church Hastings.

Kathy and Shirley’s enthusiasm for this project was amplified as volunteers worked with them. “It’s so exciting to be a part of Dutton,” says Kathy. “Like being part of a big family. There are about thirty people who helped us. We just couldn’t have done it without them.” They are especially appreciative of the work done by Bob Cooley. Kathy says, “He seemed to have come from nowhere and did so much for us. Actually. Bob was an acquaintance of Shirley. “I knew he loved old build­ ings,” says Shirley .“so one day I showed him our project. Later he came to help us. He has worked so much - even when we can’t be here - that we trust him with a key. He did so many of the things that we did not know how to do, like leveling and bracing the floors, replacing the plumbing, and the electrk wiring. Kathy (Mrs. Archie Warner) and Shirley (Mrs. Gary Best eman) have worked to­ gether on artistic projects for several years, and share many interests. Kathy is the mother of two small children, and Shirley has one young daughter They have incorporated into the room arrange­ ment an area where small children can play safely. They also have their own private work area. Kathy and Shirley have been very selective regarding consignees for their store. “We met with a lot of people who have extremely fine merchandise.” says Kathy, “but we had to tell them ‘no’ be­ cause their goods did not fit into our theme.” Counted cross stitch, country painting, quilting, fabric painting, country carving and calligraphy will be taught. “Each class will be taught by a person who is an ex­ pert in that area.” “We are going to sell stuffed animals, wicker furniture and antiques. And we’re really excited about cut glass - work done by Wally Gemetz. He was taught by one of the original cutters of Fostoria glass. We hope to have him come in for some demonstrations.” The store will be open for business on June 16. ROVING REPORTER Verne and Bea Wenger had many callers last week. Mr. and Mrs. Oney Roblyer.

The Thomapple Music Festival takes place in Charfton Park, five miles east <^f Hastings off M-79. The stage is set in the natural amphitheater of the park’s re­ stored village of the late 1800 s. nestled on the banks of the Thomapple River. Folks in the audience generally bring a lawn chair or a blanket to spread on the village green, pack a picnic lunch and relax in the summer sunshine as they lis­ ten to the music. The park also features a beach and recreation area, which in­ cludes nature trails, a boat launch and picnic areas. Taking the stage at 11 a.m. on the last Sunday in June will be Home Grown Grass, a band that sings pure bluegrass and features the popular bluegrass instruments guitar, banjo, bass and fiddle.

Midwest, the hometown band in the show, will give the crowd a taste of country and progressive country music. The all-female Bosom Buddies from the Lansing area give bluegrass music a new style with their sweet blend of high harmonies. Wrapping up the show will be Sweet Com String Band, a foursome that has performed at every festival Charlton Park has ever had. Their energetic picking always sets the audience to hand clappin’ and foot stompin’. The Thomapple Music Festival had a unique beginning. It was conceived as a fundraiser for furnishing Bristol Inn. a restored stagecoach inn located in the Historical Village and to create a new an­ nual event for the park. “The response has been tremendous,” remarks Frank Walsh, park director. “The quality, attendance and enthusiasm have surpassed all of our expectations.” Four years ago the festival was expanded to two shows each summer Tickets for the Thomapple Music Fes­ tival are $5.00 for adults, 5Orf for childret underlZ and free for preschoolers.

PRAIRIE SKETCHES Many of the Prairie neighbors went to Caledonia Sunday afternoon to wish Ed and Katie Wieringa well on their 40th anniversary. Alice Steiner, Tom and I. spent several hours Saturday evening at Festival 81. It was a new experience for me. and one that bears repeating. I think. We were quite surprised to meet Dave and Sue Enders there - if we had tried to meet, it would have been nearly impossible! Most all of the family were home some time over the week-end, visits we always enjoy. I went to dispose of a pair of badly bent tennis shoes the other day and found myself automatically taking the laces out - forgetting the fact that there are no longer lots of little hands wearing out endless miles of shoelaces that need con­ stant replacing! Sometimes we human computers need reprogramming, 1 guess! It took me years to quit saving bleach bottles. We used so many for scout pro­ jects there always seemed to be a demand, and saving them just became a habit. Norma Velderman and I used to joke that we could probably float away either one of our houses with the bottles we accumu­ lated. Some day (in the far future, I hope), if someone is foraging through my accumulations of the years, I hope they will be considerate in their judgements of “What kind of a nut would save these? and what for?” CLAY HILLS with WRETHA McNEE The Jackson family attended an open house at Woodland for a relative, then had a surprise birthday for Joan’s dad, Ken King.

After the initial em­ barrassment over their inability to recognize each other immediately, conversa­ tion flourished. It is disconcerting, and enlightening, not to be recognized by someone with whom one grew up, even though with some it had been forty years since they had seen each other. Sixteen of the 20 who took part in the graduation exercises at the Metho­ dist Church on June 4, 1931, survive, and 13 of those were present at the reunion. Present were: Edward Hunger­ ford from Vancouver, Wash.; Mr. and Mrs. Rco (Ruth Holes) Boley. Talent. Orc , Mr. and Mrs. Jack (Mary Boley) Rosenberg, Eloy, Ariz.; Retha Gackler Williams. Mesa, Ariz.;Mr. and Mrs. Arnold Parker, Marco Island. Fla.; Rev. and Mrs. Allen (Velma Johnson) Steeby, Big Star Lake, Mich.. Mr. and Mrs. Henry (Opal Cisler) DeGood, Kentwood; Louise Corson Pierce, Kala­ mazoo; Ward Bender, Mr. and Mrs. Russell Bender, Mr. and Mrs. Robert VanderVeen, Mr. and Mrs. Paul Gibson and Mr. and Mrs. Arthur (Doris White) Apsey, all of the Middleville area. Mr. and Mrs. Meryl Boyer of Hastings were also present, as he had been a member of the class part of the way through school. Unable to attend were Russell Solo­ mon of Florida. Hugh Hall of Cedarville, Ohio and James Burns of Wyoming. Deceased members of the class are Florence Aubil Buchanan, Olive Carl Smith, Alice Standish McClurkin and Richard Palmer. After dinner the group went to the Apsey home for dessert and coffee, look­ ing at pictures and lots more reminiscing. A 1983 reunion was discussed and it was even suggested by some of the permanent residents of the western states that the west coast might become the most convenient place to hold it. The Thomapple Kellogg Board of Education, meet­ ing in special session on Monday night, outlined the program cuts that will be in effect with the opening of school next fall.

Official Minutes of the June 15 TK Board of Education Meeting Dorothy and Clair Brog To Marshal 4th Parade This year’s Fourth of July Parade in Middleville (one of the longest and best ever, according to Parade Chairman Rod Kenyon’) will feature a new approach as one of Middleville’s citizens will be honored. Mr. Clair Brog, a lifelong resident of the community, has been designated as the Grand Marshal of the parade. April 21, 1902. was a warm spring day, and in the rural farm community of Middleville, Michigan, Amanda Brog presented her husband. Henry, a strong, healthy baby boy, Chur. The young lad grew up qn a farm in the area and attended country school. In the spring of 1919 he graduated from Middle­ ville High School located near where the United Methodist Church presently stands. After graduating from high school, Clair continued to work on the family farm. Sometime later he began courting the pretty Dorothy Taber whom he had known throughout his childhood. On June 24. 1929, in Elkhart, Indiana, she became Mrs. Clair Brog. They had two children, a girl, Helen (now Helen Martiny) and a boy Kenneth. Clair and Dorothy are now proud to say they have six grandchildren. Clair worked at several jobs to support the family, first working on the farm, then working for Standard Oil Company in Grand Rapids. In 1939 he came back to Middleville to run the service station at the comer of M-37 and Main Street. For so many years, this is where mat Middleville area residents remember the Brogs. Cl?it and Dorothy are members of the Middleville United Methodist Church. Clair is a charter member of the Middleville Lions Cub and Dorothy is a member of the Order of Eastern Star. Clair loves bowling and Dorothy bingo. They both love a good game of bndge. When asked what the town of Middleville has meant to them, they both answered ’The people you gel to know and they become like family. There is a real family atmosphere here. We also feel that the school system has always been good here and a nice place to raise a family ” So on July 4th this year, come on out to the parade and say “Hi” to this year’s Grand Marshal Clair Brog and his pretty wife Dorothy. They ’ll be lookin’ to say “Hello” to you. June 15. 1981 Meeting called to order at 7:35 pan. by President Williamson. Present: Courts. VanElst, Van Rhee, Williamson, London, Martin. Absent Otto.

Dennis Martin Secretary �Page 2 / June 18, 1981 /The Sun and Newt, Middleville, Michigan LETTERS Comment* from our reader* may be exprewed in tht* column All letter* mutt be signed. but names will be withheld for good reason and at the discretion of the newspaper Views express­ ed in this column are not necessarily those of The Sun and News To the people of TK School District, Well, supposedly the taxpayers have spoken. I wonder what you said? Did you mean that you really wanted to deny the kids the subjects that would fulfill their majors and minors for col­ lege*’ Did you mean to take away all the fun things that are a part of school and school life? Did you mean to create a situation in the school where teachers who have the ability to teach English are now teaching science because of seniority status? Could that $40 - $45 mean that much to you that you felt you could justly deny the kids? Or did your message mean “There. Mr. Administrator, I showed you”? And if it was the second choice, God help you, because you didn’t really hurt anyone but the kids. I can’t really explain to you how hurt, how disappointed and how bad I feel about losing the millage battle. For years I’ve lived here and watched a school grow and have been a part of it. I’ve always been proud of our capability to provide for our school district with the funds that it needed. Maybe, a while ago, we were basking in a bit more money than was actually needed, but in this day, with everything costing twice what it is actually worth, how do you expect the school to budget last year’s money on this year’s economy? Mow often have you heard the state­ ment “What’s wrong with the kids to­ day?” Well, parents, answer that one with the statement “It’s not the kids, it’s the parents.” When we can be selfish enough to say that we can’t part with a few dollars a year to insure our child­ ren’s education, then it is parents and not children that have changed. If you look around this town, one wonders what the children do for enjoyment. We do not offer one place for them to gather as a group to enjoy each other's company. Now, thanks to each of the “No” voters, we have taken away school activities so as to deny them group participation in any sport, play, or any other extracurricular activity. I hope you can satisfy your ‘No’ vote with the fact that you have encouraged the drug pushers and users to gain more ground in our district, along with the alcoholk consumption of minors with nothing else to do but idle away their time. Thanks but no thanks from one who still cares Blanche Munjoy VBS AT CHRISTIAN REFORMED The Middleville Christian Reformed Church will be conducting Daily Vaca­ tion Bible School from June 22 to June 26. Classes will begin at 9:00 and the children will be dismissed at 11:30. Children from age four through sixth grade this past year are invited to attend. Parents and friends are invited to at­ tend a dosing program at 10:45 Friday evening. The theme of the five lessons is “Jesus. Your Word Lives in Me.” The children will enjoy the lessons, the play time and the crafts. Call 795-3667 if you need transportation for your child.

Four members of the Barry County Board of Commissioners will attend a special educational briefing June 17 at M&J. They will join more than 350 of their counterparts from throughout the state who will see some ways that MSU agricultural research and Extension can assist county government and local resi­ dents through educational programs. “This also gives us in Extension an opportunity to express our appreciation for the partnership in education that exists between MSU and the commis­ sioners,” says Doris Richardson, director of Extension in Barry' County. The daylong event is being sponsored by the MSU Cooperative Extension Ser­ vice and the MSU agricultural Experiment Station. The day’s program includes talks by key MSU administrators and tours that feature about 40 educational programs that are available to county residents. These range from computerized budgeting for Michigan families to leas­ ing lands for oil and gas exploration. It is also an opportune time for commissioners to learn about the purpose of extension and agricultural research. “They were begun by Congress in the early 1900s with the purpose of taking university-developed research to local residents,” says Mrs. Richardson. “Ex­ tension’s primary purpose is to help im­ prove the quality of people’s lives through education. The programs offered are based on local residents’ needs, be they development of leadership skills for the urban person or teaching farmers how to sell grain on the Chicago Board of Trade.” A subscription to The Sun and News will keep you informed about your community.

Barry Historical Society Has Full Meeting Presentation of the Barry County His­ torical Society’s Distinguished Service Award to Mrs. Amy Bower highlighted the annual June meeting of the society held at Charlton Park.

Weinbrecht and Eileen Oehler, directors for a three-year term. Following the surprises of the potluck picnic supper near the Bristol Inn, the society heard committee reports for the ending year. The program committee, chaired by Gertrude Matthews, was given commendation for the variety and excellence of programs held at meetings throughout the county. The membership committee report was delayed so attain­ ment of the goal of 100 members is not known at this time. B. W. Bellinger re­ ported for the publicity committee and thanked the local papers for their coope­ ration in publishing the activities of the society. Frank Walsh of the McKeown Road Budge committee reported dial the bridge remains extant. Amy Bower stated that the Historical Markers committee has four metal markers in process for Nashville’s Putnam Library. Woodland Township Hall. Irving Township Ceme­ tery and Carlton Township Hall. Sugges­ tions for the Pansh House and the Presby­ terian Church as historic sites were re­ ceived . Richard Shuster of the oral history committee reported that the committee has obtained from Howard Frost an eye­ witness narrative recording of the first airplane flight over Hastings. Chairman Clara Stanton of the Township Cemetery records committee informed the society that records of five townships *ere com­ plete; volunteers for four ad&tional town­ ships compilations offered their assistance. Diana Hard’s Folk Arts committee re­ ported that the Charlton Park Museum contains sufficient examples of native Barry County folk art to be arranged as an exhibit at a meeting next year.

The plates will be a limited edition of 200 large eight-inch plates and 300 small five-inch plates, each decorated with an illustration of the county courthouse as it appeared in 1906. Agnes Smith, chairman, reported that editions of other illustrations of county history will be ordered after the expected successful sale of the current plates.

The society’s money contribution to the study project is in the process of being reimbursed to the society. Copies of the printed report of the study, done by William Kessler and Associates, architects, were circulated to the members. The report states specifically what should be done to restore and reno­ vate the Striker House for preservation. A copy of the report was given to the I lastings Library and a copy will remain in the probate court office this summer for interested members of the public to examine. The Striker House committee thanked the persons who donated their services in the preparation of the report: Alan White, Chester Stowell, Tom Leonard, Barbara Furrow, Lawrence Dale, Mike Payne, Cathy and Doug McLeod, Mary Anne Karmes and Sylvia Dulaney. The report contains illustrations and measured drawings of “The Handsomest House in Hastings.” It does not. however, reveal the location of a surreptitious passageway which exists according to Hastings legend. Mrs. Propser Bernard and Clare and Nellie Richards of the Bernard Historical Society and museum at Delton were wel­ comed by the society as guests.

Several artifacts, too difficult to describe, stumped the antiqu c experts. A collection of poems, “Farm Legends,” dated 1875, by Will Carleton, noted author of “Over the Hill to the Poor House,” was exhibited as well as several 100 year old photos of the Hastings City band and fire department FIRST REAL ESTATE CO 8201 CHERRY VALLEY AVENUE CALEDONIA.

Former Chief Fined, Jailed For 2 Weeks The former chief of police in Middle­ ville has been sentenced to two weeks in jail and ordered to pay $7,533 in restitu­ tion, fines and court coats after pleading no contest to fraud charges levied by Attorney General Frank J. Kelley and State Treasuere Loren E. Monroe. Clifford Norton, chief of the Middle­ ville Police Department for about seven years before resigning in March, 1980, was sentenced June 12 by Barry Circuit Judge Richard E. Robinson. Judge Robinson sentenced Mr Norton to three years probation including two weeks of confinement in the Barry Coun­ ty jail. The dates of that jail term will be arranged so that Mr. Norton can use vaca­ tion time from his current job in another state. Judge Robinson ordered Mr. Norton to pay $3,033 in restitution, $2,500 in fines and $2,000 in court costs. Mr. Norton pled no contest to uttering and publishing a check from Middleville Village on May 15, 1981. He had been charged with submitting false work records for a part-time police officer between July and November, 1979. The part-time officer was unaware of the scheme and had no involvement, but Mr. Norton was accused of receiving and subsequently cashing payroll checks based on those false work records. The irregularities were detected by a Treasury Department audit of Middle­ ville records and the charges against Mr Norton were prosecuted by the Attorney General. _____________ HEATING COOLING SALES AND SERVICE BARRY COUNTY'S LARGEST AND MOST COMPLETE SHOP Welton’s COMFORT CRAFTSMEN 401 North Broadway, Hastings PHONE 945 5352 �The Sun and News, Middleville, Michigan / June 25, 1981 / Page 9 his baptism Sunday, then Bemadine and Harry attended his dinner at her folks.

Firemen to Begin "Jaws’ Fund Drive The Middleville Thornapple Township Fire Department will be spearheading a fund raising campaign to purchase a “Jaws of Life” tool that would be added to the fire department equipment. Die “Jaws of Life” is a power unit over a hydraulic system used in extrication emergencies such as auto accidents, in­ dustrial, farm, or whatever the emergency may be. At the present time, the department uses hydraulic on mechanical equipment that is useful in extrication but “we can remove the whole top of a car in minutes with a “jaws” tool” explained Assistant Chief Bud Stone. “And time is very criti­ cal in al) emergencies, if on the highway, or wherever the need is for a service of this nature.” The “Jaws” tool cost approximately $7000 and the department hopes to make the drive for funds a community-wide affair. “We don’t know how long it will take to raise the money, but we feel the “Jaws” is a tool that we definitely can use in our service to the community and fire area,” said Stone. The department feels that the tool would be best purchased by donations and fund raisers throughout the commu­ nity rather than use tax money that is earmarked for the fire service. More information concerning the tool and how local organizations can become involved will be published at a later date.

Or you can let the Heritage Association take you back in time at their Old Fashioned General Store. Food is never a problem on the Fourth if you go for the All- American traditional* of barbequed chicken, hot dogs, lemonade, ice cream, buffalo burgers, soft drinks and cotton candy. The stadium show begins at 7:30 and will feature Craig Kenyon at the Hammond Organ, “The Chosen Ones” band, and country singer Faye Freeman. The dare­ devil Sky divers will again amaze folks with their ability to land on target, and in between the acts, prizes will be drawn for the $1000 worth of merchandise being raffled off. The highlight of the evening and finale of the day will be the half hour fireworks display. Many hours of time are donated, as are most prizes, the largest expense of the day being the fireworks. This cost is met by the sale of raffle tickets, which were sold in advance and will be sold during the day for $ 1.00 each. For Map/Schedule of the Fourth activities, see center section of this week’s Sun and News. FOURTH OF JULY NOTES; Needleworkers Take Note!

Now is the time to make all those special handmade gifts you won’t have time for later. I keep reminding myself of that while I steal a few minutes to sit on the porch or patio to enjoy these rare, glorious summer days in Michigan, and somehow I can’t seem to get too concerned about those special projects. I sometimes begrudge the hours I have to spend indoors at this time of year. There just never seems to be enough time to do all the “have-to” chores and still savor the bounty of Michigan sum­ mers. I know how much we will enjoy the frozen and canned vegetables, fruits, pickles, jams, jellies, etc., but there’s a powerful attraction to a walk on the beach or in the woods — or even a brief stop to “smell the roses” on the patio. Sometimes seeing things through someone else’s eyes really gives one a new appreciation for “the world around us.” My aunt from Alabama came up in May to visit for a couple of weeks. She is a delight to have around - interested in so many things, always ready to go wherever you planned for the day. We drove over to Lake Michigan, up to Rock­ ford, to Grand Rapids, to the cereal fac­ tory in Battle Creek, to Don’s family farm over on the muck land. I found myself really seeing things I hadn’t thought about before. She hadn’t seen rhubarb and asparagus and celery growing before. Peonies and lilacs were new. and never had she seen such huge violets. She doesn’t have time to grow old because she has too many places to go and too many things to do. None of her family understand^ why she doesn’t really like to fly, but as she puts it, she isn’t in a hurry and she enjoys seeing the country­ side as she passes through. We’re already thinking of so many things we still have to show her and truly hope she will come again soon. Strawberry season has come and gone, and I hope you all enjoyed some of those luscious strawberry pies. This is the recipe for a good pie crust for the fresh fruit pies - could be used for blueberry, peach, etc., as well as strawberry. Mom got the recipe from a super cook friend. The basic recipe makes enough for three pies - bottom crust only. COOKIE CRUST 1 cup vegetable oil 4 tablespoons milk 3 tablespoons sugar Girl Scouts Have Good Day Camp The Middleville Girl Scouts had a very successful day camp at Harwood Lake on June 23 and 24. Over 30 girls attended, cooked their own lunch, hiked, did craft projects and had lots of fun. Sixteen of the older scouts stayed overnight and went swimming and canoeing with Nancy Perry as Water Safety. Jill Thomas and Betsy Butler coordinat­ ed the crafts with Sandy Zugel assisting. Jill also took slides to show at our annual banquet. Shirley Howell and Doris Brog bought our groceries for us each day. Mary Ann Vandal worked as our campcraft specialist, while Eddy Sue Thomas helped as our transportation manager. Barb Zumpf was our camp nurse and an all around helper. Leaders and helpers who gave their time were Kathy Mugridge. Linda Smith, Betsy Lapham,Gail Batson, Joanne VanPutten, Sheilia Mutschler, Ann Bass, Kathy Kermeen, LizTiffiney, Jody Pratt and Judy Jackiewicz. Special thanks go to Mr. and Mrs. Bob Martin who allowed us to use their beach and canoes; Blanche Cridler. Helen and Bob Wenger for the use of the property, also Barry County Sheriff for their patrol. We would like to especially thank all our volunteers because without them we couldn’t have a camp.

Fourth of July Message Patriotism Isn’t a Spectator Sport Fireworks will crackle on the Fourth of July, banners wave, bands blare and paraders strut. It’s all in the American tradition, the citizens’ way of expressing thanks that this democracy has survived, waxed robust and provided strong leadership during trying periods. President Reagan put into words an aspect of American idealism when he said . we as Americans have the capacity now, as we have had in the past, to do whatever needs to be done to preserve this last and greatest bastion of freedom.” But this unique holiday observance goes much further than merely applauding marchers, cheering at ball games, and eating hot dogs and apple pie. There is op­ portunity here for careful appraisal of American ideals and accomplish­ ments—how we got where we are today and how we will approach the challenge of the 1980s. On the economic front two generations have been born which have never ex­ perienced a serious depression. There have been pockets of distress, but these have been largely eliminated by 35 years of continued prosperity. The slumps which have occurred have generally been mild and have quickly run their course. In the years following World War II the United States came forth with the Mar­ shall Plan to help restore the shattered economies of war-tom nations. Such a program had never been attempted before. This American largesse has helped to reduce, if not banish, misery in many countries, it has also contributed to reviving the economic muscle of some indus­ trialized nations which have since strongly challenged the commercial leadership of the United States. And this country still stands as a beacon of freedom and liberty. America is unquestionably the land of opportunity, the summit of dreams. So what do all these facts add up to? Simply this. Every citizen should realize we have a country of astonishing strength, generosity and idealism. All of us should try to fortify these traits in the American character. Patriotism isn’t a spectator sport. You don’t score any points standing on the sidelines. There have been, and will continue to be, unhappy moments in out history. The whole world learns about them. It is such candor in the American open socie­ ty that wins the admiration even of our critics. In your everyday routine, Mr. and Mrs. America, you are in the world spot­ light, whether you realize it or not. How you react in coping with your country’s needs can influence this nation’s fate for years to come. This is one of the key purposes of the Honor America program—to try to per­ suade each and every American &dult to examine his or her attitude toward today's problems. Do you withhold judgment on national issues—some of which are very complex—until you are adequately informed on all aspects'’ To paraphrase an old saying, Do you walk a mile in your adversary’s shoes before you decide he’s right or wrong? Are you willing to suffer small inconveniences to attend a meeting or discussion on community affairs? The practice of drift or neglect of small problems can lead to larger troubles later. If you have doubts about the character of your country , remember the words of President Reagan’s inaugural speech: “Our objective must be a healthy, vigorous, growing economy that provides equal opportunities for all Americans with no barriers bom of bigotry or dis­ crimination It does require our best effort, our work and our willingness to believe in ourselves and in our capacity to perform great deeds, that together and with God's help we can and will resolve the problems which confront us.” Monday night, June 22, before the Middleville Girl Scout day camp opened, someone stole about $200 worth of camp­ ing gear that they had left at Harwood lake for use during camp. Some of the items had “Bass” marked on them and some with “Middleville Girl Scouts.” If you see any of these, please notify Ann Bass, 795-9020, or Judy Jackiewicz 945-9298. Still Circulating Petitions for Vote Petitions are still being circulated in the Thornapple Kellogg School District urging the Board of Education to place a V/* millage issue before the voters later this summer.

Only two days of the two North trek is a short hour’s drive from weeks that we didn’t have some rain, but Seattle-Tacoma area. It is near Eatonville Wash. Part of the day we walked in drizzl­ ing rain which resulted in a case of bursitis in my right shoulder which lasted about three days. Another day, which was quite breezy, we took a trip to Bremerton to visit the UJS5. Missouri battleship which was launched January 29, 1944. It was christened by Margaret Truman. It is stationed at the Puget Sound Naval ship­ yards. We viewed the plaque locating the ceremony of surrender when Japan formally surrendered to end WWII. Many visitors were there. There were 24 battle­ ships stationed at this area. There was talk of putting this ship, also the UJS.S. New Jersey, back to use. They were nearly finished being painted. The day before we left for home, we took a drive up to the Pacific Ocean. The day was reasonably warm - high of 73° • (most of the vacation was 50m65°), The boys hoped to find a collection of sand dollars - a round flat form of fish with a hard shell - but found only pieces of some. It was like a red tide came in. The water was reddish-brown and all wild life washed up o n the shore when the tide came in was dead. Millions of mussles had washed up on the shore. The sea gulls did not eat them. They say all wild life is poisonous at this type of tide. The animals must sens it. We picked up a few mementos of driftwood and shells. We had a picnic lunch at one of the way­ side picnic tables near the ocean. Guess what, I forgot to pack the sandwiches’ It was very windy. About 25 seagulls were hovering over us to beg for a few crumbs so we fed them a little cheese and crackers. We enjoyed one day at Paradise, a 5400 ft. altitude up Mt. Rainier. There is a big viewing area and restaurant up there. There was quite a bit of snow in some areas. It was about 40° and at the peak of the mountain it was 5 above. We did not visit Mt. St. Helens. It erupted the first Thursday evening we were there. They have a great restricted area and we didn’t go near it. At evening time Mt. Rainier is so beautiful at Puyallup. It looks like a big giant ice cream cone, looks as though it’s only on another street a block or two away although it is some distance. It’s breathtaking. We flew over several Cascade ranges over the Seattle-TacomaPuyallup area. Mt. Rainier. Mt. Hood. Mt. Baker, and Mt. St. Helens was a little out of range when our airplane took us. One evening Jim and his boys and their mother Marlene. Ralph and I went out to dinner at the Yellow Daffodil at Puyallup. We had lots of time to visit. On Father’s Day Marlene invited us and her grandparents to her house for Sunday dinner. We enjoyed it very much. At Washington, on the west side of the im uie area where we lived, is a beautiful, fertile area. The trees and grass are so beautiful and green. The area reminds me of the upper peninsula near Marquette where we spent so many vacations with our families when they were growing up rfbar Kiva. I guess that’s why son Jim chose to settle in that area. One day the Seattle newspaper showed a picture of the Grand Rapids Calder and said they hoped to have something of that nature at Tacoma so that people would want to come to their town to see it. We left for home Friday June 26. We left aboaut 9 a.m. Seattle time arrived home around 8:30 Caledonia time. We flew on Northwest Orient. I have taken many trips on airplanes but I have yet to find an airline with more pleasant and efficient stewardesses or one that serves more delicious meals. Our breakfast consisted of a choice of two - quiche Loraine (pancakes and sausages) or eggs benedict - the other sliced Canadian bacon, breakfast roll and butter, coffee, tea or pop, Vi papaya, a lime wedge, dessert roll and champagne. We chose this one and it was delicious. We had an enjoyable vacation. We were also happy to arrive home safely, except for a few disappointments. The potato bugs were eating up our potato leaves, the peas needed picking, the rabbits ate all our beans, and even my prize cactus had Jhe audacity to have 5 blossoms while we were gone? As you can see, life goes on even though wv aren’t here. “You must be looking for my sister..

I tried to keep the slices between 1/8 and 1/4”. There were 10 trays, so we’d fill all of them, laying the slices as close as possible without overlapping - the natural curve of the apple encourages fitting each apple under the next. It took about 12 hours. I did it overnight - cheaper, or I guess low demand time for the electricity. Actually, once I got started, I kept the dehydrator going constantly, but by doing it only at night you’d be a better manager, cause you could do a lot of other things during the day. What husband doesn’t expect you to have a lot of other things done during the day! Me - once I start, I want to get it done and out of4he way, so I kept it up until all were done. When I had goofed and got my slices a little too thick, I had to sort them out and do the biggest ones a little longer. Never having done them before, I took them out too soon - so I had to take them out of the containers and do them a little longer. So now I have a nice lot of dried apples for next winter. I love to snack on them. My grandmother reconstituted them for dried applie pie. I haven’t done that yet. I saw an article on drying a lot of vegetables and fruit, so after strawberry season is almost gone, I decided to try to dry strawberries. I have lots of hindsight but very little foresight. «, ? You are supposed to use nice berries, as perfect as possible. If I’d done them right at the beginning, I would have had no problem. So mine were less than per­ fect. You steam them for 1 minute. I used my new stainless steel flower petal type folding steamer. Don’t put in too many berries (as I did) - or the bottom ones are mush and the top cold. You steam it for one minute, then cut them in half and lay them on the trays, keeping them as close together as possible to get the maxi­ mum on the tray. Simple directions, aren’t they? If any­ body can goof it up. I can. After steaming, they tend to be softer. In fact, I included some soft ones to begin with, which they said not to use. But too many of mine were a little over-ripe. So by the time they were slices (?) on the tray, they were extra soft. And boy, what a long time to get dry, from 12 noon to 5:30 ajn. the next day. I’d check them after the 12 hours, sampling the thickest (yummy). What a delicious odor wafting through the house. I even got up at 3 a.m. to sec if they were ready - not yet. But at 5.30 am. you could have found me - barefoot and in my nightgown, religiously scraping every dry little particle off the trays. The dogs even came down to see what the heck I was doing at that time of morning. After breakfast I’ll put them in con­ tainers and store with my apples. The article says “you can use them for snacks, add to yogurt, combine in citrus salad, stir them in pancakes, muffin and cake batter, whirl them in the blender with a milk shake, make berry bit tea. and of course sprinkle them on your cereal. Their delicate sweetness and fresh flavor can turn a ho-hum dish into a treat”. I forgot to add that my berries had a lot of juice left in the bottom of the pan, so 1 froze that - it had a very strong flavor - to make something later. I may even try jelly - it sure tasted good. Hope this gets yon to trying the drying process. You don’t even need a dehydrator. They suggest taking two old window screens, putting on the new plastic mesh instead of metal screening. Put hinges on them and hang them in the sun. Keeps the bees and flies away. 1 want to try that with my peas. A subscription to The Sun and News will keep you informed about your community.

The general public is invited for tours of the facilities from 2-6 pan. The system serves properties along the shore­ line of Gun Lake. Barlow Lake. Cobb Lake and Payne Lake. There are currently 1200 customers, and an additional 800 hookups are expected before November, 1981. According to Andrew Downing of the Gun Lake Area Sewer Authority, comple­ tion of the project is the result of ten years of effort and cooperation among several communities, as well as Barry and Allegan county officials. “Ten years ago we recog­ nized the need to provide sewer service to the area. We have a sizable community, located along the lake shores. There was a real need to provide a system to protect the public health and the water quality in the area.*’ He added that the townships had no means to finance a project. “We were fortunate that Act 185 was passed, to permit the county to back the bonds for an undertaking such as this.” The total cost of the project was $25,000,000. The system serves residents in Yankee Springs and Orangeville Town­ ships in Barry County, as well as Wayland and Martin Townships in Allegan County. Downing pointed out that the number of governmental units involved required an unusual amount of coordination and cooperation. “The administrative con­ cerns were as complicated as the design in construction, if not more so.” The timing of all the applications, resolutions, contracts and financing procedures had to be coordinated between four townships, two county Boards of Public Works, two county Boards of Commissioners, the Michigan Department of Natural Re­ sources and the U. S. Environmental Pro­ tection Agency. “Through it all, we’ve appreciated the support of the residents and property owners of the area. We look forward to having a large number of people tour the plant on the 10th. cake and a bucket of chicken at the noon hour. The Phil Benders enjoyed a steak fry at the Dave Troutman home on Saturday evening, and on Sunday they called on his brother Elwyn and and family. It really distressed me to learn that a couple hundred dollars worth of camping gear was stolen from the Harwood Lake premises where the Girl Scouts had day camp last week. We go along trusting and thinking “it won’t happen in my neigh­ borhood” but it can and does. Dean Petersen and some friends from Kalamazoo have been helping Mike Bremer prepare to build his log home by stripping the bark from cut pine trees. Last Thursday Dean, Craig Begema, James Ritesma and Richard Ritesma stripped 17 logs in 3 hours and 59 minutes, a record that will be hard to beat. The annual reunion of the sisters and brothers of Alice Steiner and Lois Bremer and their families was held this weekend at our Davis Road homes.. Guess it began Thursday night with the arrival of our first week end guests. More arrived on Friday and Saturday, for a nice total of 136 people for the noon meal and festivities at the Steiner home on Sunday. As our neighbors no doubt noticed, our yards were dotted with tents, vans, motor homes and trailers. We were especially pleased this year to have a niece with us who has spent several years at a mission station in Guatemala, to meet her two children, and to hear some of their experiences. Other family members came from Florida, Wis­ consin, Illinois, Indiana and Michigan. We’re weary and worn when the week end is over, but the ’ties that bind’ are so dear to us that we look forward to next year.

Department of Health and Human Ser­ vices to continue their efforts to expaid and improve the Emergency Medical Systems in the region. The eight-county region includes Barry, Berrien. Branch, Calhoun, Cass, Kalamazoo. St. Joseph and VanBuren counties. Southwest Michigan is one of three regions in the state to receive this funding. As a result of the Federal EMS Act of 1973, regional agencies may receive fund­ ing for a maximum of four years, with the first two years devoted to Basic Life Support and the second two years devoted to Advanced Life Support. SWM Systems is in the third year of the funding cycle. Emphasis during the grant year, July 1, 1981 to June 30, 1982, will be directed towards the development of Advanced Life Support systems, establishment of a region-wide trauma system, improving radio communications, implementing the emergency access number “911”, public education and information, and continu­ ing education for emergency medical personnel. Studies documenting the effectiveness of the EMS system will also be undertaken. Grand funds have been utilized in the past to implement programs in all eight counties, including training for physicians, nurses, paramedics and emergency medi­ cal technicians, purchase of vital patient care and extrication equipment for ambu­ lance and rescue services, training of the public in CPR and emergency prevention, disaster planning, and development of regionwide treatment and transfer proto­ cols.

Slowly the interest seems to be growing, as attested by the fact that 24 local runners, along with 214 others, completed the 10.000 meter course. Loyd Elwood and Jim French were two of the local runners who ran in this event for the first time. The next Road Run, sponsored by the club will be the Fourth Annual Thanks­ giving Turkey Trot. The date is November 28th at 10:00 am., starting at the high school. Get yourself in shape and try this run. Just ask these people for advice and encouragement.

Chuck Skinner, Sue Dailey, Greg Smith, Shaun Gary, Brent Lanser and Gary Post all received the Region Fanner award. All work and no play makes for a very dull FFA. This is why the regional officers provided supervised recreation.

The officers who attended the camp were president Sue Dailey; Vice president Chuck Skinner; Secretary Jan Meyer; Treasurer Lisa Fischer; Reporter Mary Dailey; Sen tinal Scott Misak and Parlia­ mentarian Shelly Pickard.

Many Dutchers from many states and Canada, a total of 387 attended. They determined they descended from a family in the state of New York. Some of them fought in the Revolution. John Jr. was trying to find out about Washington Dutcher. He met a woman who knew he was her husband's grand­ father and he was related to the first Charles Dutcher, father of David. He was a minister and probably a brother to Charles. He was likely a Methodist minister as there were several Methodist churches in the area at West Bowne, Bowne Center, East Caledonia and Whit­ ney ville. The church at East Caledonia was the work of David Dutcher. At least the reunion was a success and not long enough. One Dutcher, a commer­ cial fisherman, caught enough white fish for the potluck dinner. My grandson John is painting my house. He recently painted Gladys Abraham’s house and it looks fine.

He did a beautiful job and it was a lovely wedding. Fourth of July seems long ago already, but it’s not too late to say my thanks to everyone who helped make it such a nice “down home’’ day. It was fun watching the parade through the eyes of our grand children who were so super-excited, and it was also nice to take off “all by myself’ to look through the crafts, admire the quilts, get an ice cream cone, or whatever. If those of us who are not members of local organizations who plan the day would volunteer to give a few hours of our time, it would lessen the load for everyone - plus making ail feel more a part of the day. With all we read in the paper about world hunger, I couldn’t help but wonder what could happen if we all gave up fire­ works - or even half of them - and gave the rest of the money to feed the under­ nourished people of the world. Ovemigit guests at the Fred Steiners on July 5 and 6 were our niece and family from Guatemala, Butch and Lois Prohaska. They also were at Middleville’s celebration and it was the first parade for their child­ ren, ages 3 and 4. They thoroughly enjoyed the day here. Butch acquired a bus while spending time in Missouri this year, and the family are enroute back to Guatemala in it.

The mill was built over the stream and the huge old beams that support the grind stones and antique gears with, their wooden teeth show the workmanship of past craftsmen.

A blacksmith will be working just as if it were 1864 again. The Gatling Gun was invented in the 1860’s and could shoot approximately 500 shots in one minute.

Sidewalk Sale In Caledonia Back in June of 1969 when the First Baptist Church of Middleville moved to their new church on M-37 north of town, they sold their historic old church on East Main Street to the Village of Middleville. One item in that old church that they did retain however, was the 700 pound bell, cast in Troy, New York, in 1869. For the past ten years the bell has been in storage, but on Tuesday of this week it was put in place on the “new” church. A huge crane, below, lifted the bell to the platform where Dan Jeffery (center above) is constructing the bell tower. Looking on is Pastor Wes Smith (left) and one of the church’s older mem­ bers, John Jousma.

Sometimes it is so hard to live one day at a time. We seem always to be looking ahead or reliving the past, and today often gets lost. Serious illnesses and injuries bring home to us, sometimes with frightening intensity, the futility of trying to recapture what’s al­ ready past and waiting for a tomorrow that might never arrive. Three weeks ago a very serious motorcycle-pick-up truck collision in Cody, Wyoming, almost claimed the life of our young friend, Irvin Timm. Prompt, skilled emergency treatment in Cody stabilized his condition enough so that he could be transferred to Billings, Montana, where more specialized medical services were Caledonia FFA’er available. There he underwent more emergency surgery and spent several days in the intensive care unit. Since Don and I had already arranged for vacation time, we decided that we would postpone our lazy week up on the Muskegon River and go to Montana to see Irv Two and a half days and fifteen hundred miles later we found our friend improving and soon able to be transferred out of ICU. Last week he came home by air ambulance and is now' a patient at St. Mary’s Hospital (Room 540) in Grand Rapids. He faces a long recovery, and once again we must remind ourselves and him that we can only live one day at a time. Don and I drove to Montana and, even from the freeways, we were able to see and appreciate what an amazingly varied landscape we enjoy in this country. From the lush greenery of Michigan and Wiscon­ sin to the rugged harshness of the Badlands was quite a change, and we found the lack of trees and greenery downright depress­ ing. We took time for a brief side trip into the Black Hills, which were breathtakingly beautiful, and we did appreciate Mt. Rushmore, but what we saw of the rest of South Dakota made us wonder why our ancestors ever wanted to take it away from the Indians! It’s easy to see why Montana is called the “Big Sky” Country. Sometimes it almost seemed that we could see forever with a big blue inverted bowl overhead. We truly liked what we saw of the state and the climate at least in summer, and we hope to go back some day and explore all nature’s bounty that we didn’t have time for this trip. Several times on our way to Montana and back, as we picked up different radio stations, we heard a new John Denver record. I don’t know the title of the song but the lyrics stayed with me. “Some days are diamonds, some days are stone. Sometimes the hard times won’t leave me alone. ” Whether our days are dia­ mond or stone, each one is a gift - if only we can learn to treasure it as if it were the last. ENTERTAINER OF THE YEAR - Barbara Mandrell, country music’s “Entertainer of the year" headlines the 6:30 and 9:00 p.m. grandstand shows at the Ionia Free Fair on Monday, August 3.

Besides the training sessions, the 1981 program included visits to Mount Vernon Plantation, the National Archives, Smith­ sonian Institution, Arlington National Cemetery, and several other historic monuments and memorials in and around the Capital.

Persons from Cherry Valley Avenue were present with a continuing problem of the uncompleted areas on their properties that resulted from the construction of the sewer. They are very concerned about this problem. Much discussion was had about this. Roetman suggested that we owe it to the people to correct the situa­ tion. A meeting of Williams & Works, engineers, the Road Commission, and the Council representative will be set up to consider what can be done to finally attend to this problem. Mr. McLachlan is also concerned about the flow of the water in the drainage ditch behind his property. Kegerreis will contact Anger Excavating about this. A bid was presented for the cement retaining walls at the parking lot. 1 his bid was not to include the fencing or the grading.

Freeman brought up the mowing at the Library to Mr. Gackler of the Town­ ship Board. Kuffer reported that further study of the cost of smoke testing and removing all the storm drains from the sanitary sewer system shows that it would be more ex­ pensive than the cost of operation of the plant caused by excessive storm flow. He would recommend not doing the project at this time. VandenHeuvel reported that the flow metering equipment is not back yet. Discussion on the fate of the farm house brought forth the suggestion that it be torn down. J. Freeman and Cherry will place an ad i-n the paper to have the house torn down.

Jacqueline Cherry Village Clerk EAST CALEDONIA with CELESTA DUTCHER Carl and Mary Jo Pickard and Marc and Joanne were dinner guests of the Sheehans and Molly last Sunday. I went to see the burning of St. Patrick Church. It was decided to let it bum com­ pletely. WOTV photographers were on hand taking pictures for their newscasts. It seemed very sad to see it bum, particu­ larly for the parishoners. Mike was bap­ tized in that church and they attended the final services. Many parishoners lived in the Alto-Freeport area. St. Patrick’s was a mission church of Holy Family in Caledonia. I got a fall Thursday. 1 edged my way to the phone as I couldn’t get up. Elvis and Mike came over and helped me get up. They ordered me to quit painting as that is what I was doing. I’m not as lame as I feared. Donald and Dorothy called on me Thursday evening. They were at home as Dorothy had cakes on order. Frank, Pat and Allie called one evening. They were taking a ride hoping to cool off that hot evening.

The ceremony w« a first; a couple being mar­ ried during a regular mass. During the service one could sense the feeling of warmth and admiration for the bride and groom. John had been their music and choir director for three years, so the feel­ ing was understandable. Best wishes to Sue and John as they begin a new life in Louisiana. Sunday was another milestone in the life of the Andrusiaks. Unknown to the parents, the children planned a 25th wed­ ding anniversary party. They decided since the family of Clem and Roberta would be here for John’s wedding, to hold a picnic at Dutton Park. The couple re­ ceived many nice gifts and a good time was had by all, eating, playing ball, tak­ ing pictures, and the little ones catching minnows in the creek. Someone said it looked like rain, but Rosie, Clem’s sister, said “The good Lord wouldn’t let it rain on their day.” She was right! C.R.O.P. Food Surplus Booth to Start How does your garden grow?

The money will be used to feed hungry people through that organization's world­ wide program. Although spearheaded by the United Methodist Church, it is hoped that all churches and residents in the area will want to participate. You are urged to call either Sharon Smith. 795-7780. or Lorraine Otto. 795-3738, if you have produce to donate or are willing to tend the booth.

Hal Sawyer says he’ll be sponsoring a constituent bus trip to Washington D.C. this fall. Thedrip is scheduled for September 8-13. Sawyer’s district office in Grand Rapids is taking reservations on a firstcome, first served basis. “The idea be­ hind these trips is to give 5th district residents an opportunity to visit the na­ tion’s capitol at a reasonable price,” Sawyer said. “Last year, we scheduled five such trips,” he continued. “They proved to be such a huge success that we decided to continue the program this year.” In each case, a 46-passenger bus will leave from Grand Rapids at 10:00 p.m. on Tuesday and return to Grand Rapids the following Sunday morning. Participants will stay at the Howard Johnson Motel across from the Watergate Complex. The itinerary will include a stop at the Catholic Shrine, a tour of the Capitol Building, the F.B.1. building, a night bus tour, a boat tour down the Potomac River, and a “coffee and donut” meeting with Rep. Sawyer. There will also be plenty of free time for those who want to attend events at the Kennedy Center, visit the Smithsonian Institute, or go sight seeing. The base price, of the trip is $ 188 per person. That includes bus fare, hotel accommodations and a one-day tourmobile ticket. The basic price of $188 is based on double occupancy of a room. For four people sharing a room, the price is $145 per person. For three people sharing a room, the price is $160 per person. For those wanting a single room, the price is $258. Reservations can be made by calling Kim Cudney in the Congressman’s district office, 451-8383. �Page 2 / July 30, 1981 / The Sun and News, Middleville, Michigan IT’S A WOMAN’S WHIRL with Joanne Boysen This has been the summer for our family to spread out in all directions. At one time, Beth was in Arizona, Chris was in California, Mike was in Canada, and Marty was in northern Michigan. All of them are back in the area now except Beth, who is still checking out job oppor­ tunities in Arizona while waiting to see what the final picture will be in our schools this fall. It’s always interesting to read and hear about iob opportunities m other states, and while other areas do share many of Michigan’s education woes, our economic recession is apparently more severe. I’m certainly not smart enough to know how to remedy the situation, but it is distress­ ing to see the so-called “brain drain” occurring as many of our talented and skilled people take jobs out of state. Some may eventually return, but many will not, and we will have lost some of our most valuable resources. As summer flies past, and we get closer to the beginning of another school year, our thoughts turn more and more to the problems and uncertainties facing us. and how they affect us personally. Our Marty will be a senior this year, and I can’t help feeling a little bitter that, after all our years of supporting the schools in every way possible, this is to be the year when so many of the extracurri­ cular (and some curricular) activities im­ portant to him are to be eliminated track, student council, yearbook, to name a few. Academically, he has done well, and getting into the college of his choice shouldn't be a problem, but the “extras” give depth and dimension to education that promotes individual development, (and which of us has not pulled out our high school yearbooks to look up some­ one’s name, and to reminisce about this or that person or activity?!) Since our family has so rarely been to­ gether this summer. I’ve spent much less time in the kitchen than usual, but I am building up a collection of new (at least to me) recipes to share, and I would cer­ tainly welcome your contributions. Just send them to me c/o the “Sun and News.” WASHINGTON DELEGATES - Pictured above are 4-Hers from the Kettle Lake 4-H Club of Caledonia who will be participating in the Washington Citizenship Focus Conference.

She was always a happy per* son and never liked the idea of being old or getting old. In 1964, Edith was invited to her sister. Lucy Otis’, in Hastings, and while there Lucy took her to their senior citizen meeting. Edith had such a good time, she expressed a desire to start one in Caledonia. When she got home, she de­ cided to do something about it, so she invited several people in for a chicken dinner and told them of her desire to start an over 60 club in Caledonia. All Anywhere.. .anytime! That's what a high-interest savings account ca n get you! Whether you save for the holiday of your dreams... or for any other reason... the steady de­ posits and high rates add up fast­ er than you can say, "vacation"! STATE BANK CALEDONIA FDIC WITH OFFICES IN CALEDONIA AND DUTTON, MICHIGAN agreed it was a good idea, and being she was always so happy, they chose the name “Happy 60’s Group.” The first meeting, September 21, 1964 8 people came and the senior citizen club was organized. Each person was asked to invite two others for the next meeting. It was decided to have a potluck dinner on October 5,1964. Marjorie Kaechele was the temporary president during the busi­ ness meeting. At the election of officers Leon Peet was elected president. Mrs. Campbell vice president and Edith became secretary and treasurer. 19 were present at this meeting. Many of the monthly meetings were held in the homes of the seniors as they had no other place. The November meet­ ing was held at the methodist church and they enjoyed that a lot. Devotions were given at many meetings, stories told and sometimes slides were shown by some who have traveled. A collection has always been taken to help pay what expenses came up, cards for the sick, or a plant if they had enough money. In 1965 most meetings were held in the homes yet, then August 9 they had their dinner at the Caledonia Park with only 6 present, and of course it rained that day. In September they met at the Caledonia Shelter house with a weenie Roast and another good program, with election of officers. At this time they voted to have election 2 times a year, in September and May, due to so many going to Florida. Leon Peet was elected president again, vice president was Doris Peet, and Secretary-Treasurer was Dorothy VerMerris. There were 12 present. In January 1967, the Ernest and Madge Ruehs had 37 present at their home for their wedding anniversary. My, what a good turnout at that time. In February 1967 they started going to the various churches to have the din­ ners. It was greatly appreciated, with Edith always being present at ail meet­ ings. Her health was excellent and she enjoyed every bit of what she put into the club and gave to others by being so happy. • We have had seven different seniors who have become president since 1964 and we have had 40 deaths in the area since 1965. We have 11 living seniors past 80 years who have been in the Happy 60s group. Birthdays are given top billing each month when the Cale­ donia Happy 60*s meet. The picture shown is of our founder Edith in October 1973 at age 91. Edith’s daughter, Lucille, with whom she has made her home for the past seven years, would bring Edith out from Grand­ ville to the meetings whenever possible. The Happy 60s Club celebrated its 16th birthday at the United Methodist Church with a large turnout for dinner and a wonderful program, but due to Edith’s failing health she could not be present. We have all missed her smiling face and her cheerful way of meeting all of us. She not only loved her senior citizens, but was a friend, a mother, grandmother to all the children around her, and the young folks idolized her. What a wonderful Christian lady God gave to us. She will never be forgotten. If Edith were here she would say “Let’s all keep happy, no matter if we are 60, or 80, or almost 99. It’s always just the right time for a little fun.” and she loved fun. Our memories go out to you. Edith, and our deepest sympathy to your loving daughter Lucille for taking such good care of you these past years. Working for us helps them work better for you!

Myrtle will display her items in clay and wooden weathervanes. Held on a tree shaded island in the Grand River that is one block from down­ town Grand Ledge, the Island Art Fair is sponsored by Grand Ledge’s award win­ ning non-profit Ledge Craft Lane, Ltd. This year’s show will offer a selection of handmade toys, quilts, ceramics, paintings, weaving, etc., along with several old crafts which have been revived with some contemporary additions. Among the 125 craftsmen who were able to reserve spaces (all were spoken for by early April), are a San Francisco couple who will sell etchings and prints, a Portland woman who makes home made candies, wheat weavers, tinsmiths, basket and broom makers, and a local artist who handcrafts seaport scenes from bits of driftwood. The clever wrap-around jumpers which sold like the proverbial hotcakes at past fairs will again be available along with one-of-a-kind blouses and skirts with hand stitchery and needlework trimming, sun bonnets, and a new line of original T-shirts. With the Grand River as a backdrop, visitors may ride on the paddle boat, listen to the music of bagpipes, dulcimers, musicians and singers, have their portraits drawn, or enjoy hot dogs, cold drinks and ice cream sundaes. Special for the children are a delightful clown who will fashion balloons into animals or other fanciful shapes and a make-u- artist who can turn a child into a clown. Indian, or Spiderman at the flick of a grease paint tube. With an island full of activity, the City of Grand Ledge will roll out the red carpet to entertain and serve visitors. Merchants will be holding their annual sidewalk sales, as well as a flea market of collectibles and antiques, and eating places will feature menu specials. New this year for the convenience of visitors, are the Eatran mini-buses making a circuit of the island and other events so visitors may park at the city outskirts and ride without charge between activities.

'Wfr-r^ w-A. i I AUGUST 6, 1981 * MIDDLEVILLE, MICHIGAN 49333 AG 111th YEAR * NUMBER 32 Boosters Must Have $22,000 'On Hand’ by Aug.17 The Thornapple Kellogg Board of Edu­ cation Monday night gave its approval to the fund raising activities of the TK Boosers in an effort to restore extra curricular activities to the system this fall. That approval did not come, however, without two'of the board members finding fault with the Boosters on the timing of their funding program. Board members Wes VanRhee and Duane Thatcher were upset that the group did not Tint get ap­ proval from the Board before going ahead with the funding ideas. After lengthy discussion the Board recognized the Boosters as an “official fund raising group” according to a policy the board had set previously this year. The Board also told the Boosters that $22,000 must be committed by August 17 to insure the fall extra curriculum activities will be made available to the students. At particular issue was the August 1 deadline that the Board had previously set for groups to come forth with funds for cut programs. The Booster spokesman, Jim Verlinde, pointed out that their group did not get organized until three weeks ago and didn’t have an opportunity to clear their ideas with the Board. The Board had to rescind their motion of June 15 and then set the August 17 dead­ line as the date when $22,000 must “be committed by cash or note to the Board for the funding.” Both Board members VanRhee and Thatcher, although voicing general support for the Booster’s plan to fund extra curri­ culum programs, were critical of the group for not clearing their ideas with the Board first. Especially coming under fire was the Booster plan to sell $ 100 golden seats at football and basketball games this year. “By whose authority did you think you could designate certain seats in the stadium or gym for this purpose,” said Van Rhee. Judy Sloan, a member of the Boosters and one of the originators of the $100 seat idea, reported that when it was first suggested at a Booster meeting, the people there were enthusiastic and the $100 bills “started coming in right then. I guess we didn’t think about it being a problem,” she said. Thatcher, after a heated exchange with Superintendent Arthur Ellinger, challenged the administration \ record on making recommendations and then having to rescind or change them at a later time. “This puts the Board in a very uncomfort­ able position,” he said. Ellinger defended his statement to the Boosters that the August 1 deadline could probably be worked around. “When we made that recommendation to the board in June, we (the administration) did so because of certain athletic scheduling problems,” said Ellinger. Assistant Superintendent Jerry Page felt that the August 1 deadline was not “cast in cement.” Thatcher wanted It to be remembered that “we should recall this night if some tinye later we must cut curriculum to fund committed extra-curriculum activities.” Verlinde, in outlining what the Boosters had done so far, reported that the group was committed to funding the extra curri­ culum program for the year. It is estimated that over $55,000 must be raised to ac­ complish this, of which $22,000 is the fall portion. A meeting was set for this Wed­ nesday night (August 5) to discuss ways and means to meet the Board’s August 17 deadline.

Honored Each June the Middleville Rotary Club sends a young man from the community to the Rotary Youth Leadership Confer­ ence held at Camp Emery near Muskegon. This year Scott Page, a 1981 graduate of TKHS, and son of Mr. and Mrs. Ray Page of Gun Lake, was Middleville’s representa­ tive. In a letter from the camp director, William Austin of Muskegon, Scott’s parents were informed how much Scott was appreciated at the conference. He said “You would be interested to know, I’m sure, that this year Scott was named the outstanding potential leader of the one hundred young men assembled at Blue Lake. This is an unusual and a unique honor. In a five day period to have one young man surface as the outstanding leader so judged by his peers, is some­ thing not to be taken lightly.” In this leadership role, Scott was named the master of ceremonies at the concluding banquet. This fall Scott will attend the University of Michigan. �Page 2 / August 6, 1981 / The Hun and News, Middleville, Michigan Three Players from Area on Hope’s Flying Dutchmen Football Squad When the Flying Dutchmen of Hope College open their football season on Sep­ tember 5, there will be three local students on the team.

We arrived at Crossroad Village at 10:40 to board the Huckleberry Train witn an “All Aboard” caD given. Many passengers were in the coaches. The steam powered 38-ton Baldwin locomotive that pulls the wooden passenger coaches, gondolas and caboose was originally de­ signed to operate at temperatures near 80° below zero near Fairbanks, Alaska. The restored coaches, the oldest which was built in 1875, came from railroads located in the West and Southwest and Mexico.

It’s the “Directory of Historical So­ cieties and Agencies in Michigan" published by the Historical Society of Michigan “We hope that this directory will prove beneficial in many ways, most especially as an inspiration to those who are involved in the work of local historysaid Thomas L. Jones, executive director of the state­ wide organization. The directory lists historical societies and agencies throughout Michigan. Each entry gives the address, phone number, contact person, membership information, publications and major activities of each organization. Containing information on more than 375 organizations, this directory is a valuable tool for libraries, civic groups, city governments and persons interested in pursuing the history of their own com­ munity. “This publication is also a resource for those people who are interested, but not yet involved with their local community’s historical efforts. We hope that they will use it to locate their local organization and then commit themselves to its sup­ port. Finally, for those readers who have moved, this directory might reintroduce them to their hometown society and thereby form a tangible link with their own past,” added Jones. The directory is $2.95 plus $2 postage and handling. It is also being offered free to anyone who joins the society. For information about the Directory and other Society publications and mem­ bership information, contact the HSM office, 2117 Washtenaw Ave., Ann Arbor MI 48104 or phone 313-769-1828. The Historical Society of Michigan is the only non-governmental, not-for-profit statewide organization working to pre­ serve and interpret Michigan’s heritage. It is supported by nearly 6,000 members and serves as the major clearinghouse of in­ formation for more than 275 local histori­ cal and preservation organizations in Michigan. S.S. Benefactors Should Review Yearly Earnings People in the Grand Rapids area who receive Social Security benefits, who also Vork, should take some time soon to re­ view their earnings for this year, the dist­ rict manager said recently. This review should be made, manager Robert Fleminger said, so people will know where they stand in relation to the annual earnings test. This test is the mea­ sure used to determine the amount of benefits that should be paid a working beneficiary. In general, a person is due all benefits for a year if his or her earnings do not exceed the annual exempt amount. For people under 65 all of 1981, the annual exempt amount is $4,080, and for people 65 and over any part of 1981, the amount is $5,500 Fleminger said. The general rule is that $1 in benefits is withheld for each $2 of earnings above the annual exempt amount. A person who expects his or her earnings to exceed the annual exempt amount should notify Social Security so that the appropriate amount of benefits can be withheld. This way, the person can avoid the possi­ bility of having to repay any incorrectly paid benefits. People should remember that gross wages, not take home pay, count for purpose of the annual earnings test. People who want more information should contact the Grand Rapids Social Security office. The people there will be glad to answer any questions. The office is located at 250 Monroe N.W. in the Calder Plaza Building, 456-2241.

As usual, the Middleville Covers played an active role in every phase of the program. The fair was “Free” this year, and to make the public more aware, the Barry County 4-H Council sponsored a contest. Different clubs around the county were asked to put a display in their community, advertising the fair. The Clovers entered a display in the bank lobby and the live­ stock members created a fair scene in Geukes’ window. The club received a second and third award for their efforts. Feather Thompson, Joyce Mesecar, Jerrie Fiala and Phyl Miner worked to- gether creating a “General Store” atmos phere for all the club’s projects at the fair. The special effects, plus the Heritage Association’s loan of their backdrop and display case helped us to win a 4th on the booth. The following 4-H members completed projects with the Clovers 4-H Club and received ribbons at the fair: Amanda Bae rm an.

The Trojans' opening game is with Delton on September 11, but that game may be in jeopardy unless funds can be found at Delton to begin the pro­ gram by next week. Thornapple Kellogg Schools will open this fall with a full com­ plement of extra curricular activities, thanks to the TK Boosters. In a special session of the TK School Board on Monday night, the Boosters reported they had $25,000 in cash and promissory notes to insure the funding of those activities that had been cut by the board. The August 17 deadline had been set by the Board with the stipulation that $22,000 must be pledged or on hand by that date. Jim Verlinde, spokesman for the Boosters, gave the report. A total of $3,400 in cash has been collected, the balance in promissory notes at the Hastings City Bank, he said. The Board approved only the activities that would normally be funded for the fall session of school.

Hudsonville Earth Sheltered House Unique Home From the front, the earth sheltered home looks very much like any conventional modem home among the pines. “Earth sheltered homes,” “hightechnology” and “Earth Arch” were terms representatives of the press had to deal with last Thursday when a radically new home was opened by the owner. Located in a hillside southwest of Hudsonville, David and Melody Stearns’ residence is a unique structure that may just be the way Americans will be living in the future. For the young Steams couple (they are 27 years old) it is the future now. Stearns observed that the “Earth Arch may well be one answer to the fading American Dream of owning a home.” The Stearns have opened their house to the public every day except Sunday from noon to 9 p.m. There is a $2.50 admission charge to tour the house. The young couple, whose house is located 36 of a mile south of M-21 on 48th Avenue announced that this opening is in response to tremendous public interest in what appears to be a breakthrough in underground housing - a 2-story struc­ ture which has a 48-foot dear span with only five inches of concrete covered by four feet of earth. When the Stearns began to investigate alternative types of housing they did not dream that a private residence with 2400 square feet could contain a 21 -foot high li ving room ceiling and heat and cool for less than $85 a year. It is the energy Continued on Page 8 �Page 2 / August 20, 1961 / The Sun and News, Middleville, Michigan LETTERS Parents of Kindergarteners Can Ease Tranistion to Class Parents of kindergarteners can help ease the transition from home to school by helping their youngsters become familiar with their new surroundings, says an MSU instructor in child and family ecology. Jeanne Brown encourages parents to explore the school with their child, to meet the teacher and locate the child’s classroom, the restroom and the play­ ground. And, says Brown, parents should be willing to talk to their child about any fears the child has about the Tint day of school. Visiting the school a few times before September helps a new kindergartener to adjust, says Brown. A child who walks to school should travel the route with a parent several times before making the trip alone. Brown suggests pointing out key buildings and landmarks to help the child learn the route. If a child is fearful of riding the school bus alone, parents in the communities where there is mass transit can also take their child on a bus ride-along the school bus route. The ride home from school is usually easier, so Brown suggests parents might drive a youngster to school, but let the child ride home on the school bus. After children make friends, the bus ride is not so intimidating, she says. And children who play together in neighbor­ hoods often ride the school bus together, making the transition even easier. For many kindergarteners, preschool helps ease the transition to school. Be­ tween 25 and 50 percent of all youngsters in Michigan reportedly have been to some type of preschool such as nursery school, day care or organized babysitting where they have learned some of the socialization graces such as waiting and sharing. Many other children’s first introduc­ tion to school is during assessment testing, sometimes done the spring before school starts. Brown warns against parents drilling their children in the areas they think might be assessed. “Each child is unique,” she points out. “It (the evaluation) must be based on what the child is like at this moment.” Parents know their children perhaps better than anyone else and therefore can play a valuable part in the student assess­ ment, Brown says. Parents should check with the school about the method of assessment and explain this to the child to relieve any anxiety. If the evaluations show cognitive abilities are acceptable but the parents believe the child needs more social and emotional growth, Brown encourages them to voice their concerns to school officials.

Johnson p.s. What side of the fence are you merchants on? water bath canner or a steam pressure canner. The kind of canner that should be used depends on the kind of food being canned. Acid foods (fruits, tomatoes and pickles) may be processed in a water bath canner. Low-acid foods (vegetables, meats etc.) must be processed under pressure to destroy the organism responsible for botulism, a serious and sometimes fatal form of food poisoning. For information on proper canning procedures, contact your local county Extension office. Freezing is one of the simplest and quickest ways to preserve food at home. It preserves the natural colors, fresh flavors and nutritive value of most fruits and vegetables. The quality of the final product can vary with the fresness of the produce used, the method of preparation and packaging, and conditions of freez­ ing, so it’s important to become familiar with the process and to follow directions carefully. In areas with relatively low-cost electricity, energy costs may represent half the total cost of a frozen product. In urban areas where utility costs are high, the cost of running a home freezer for a year could wipe out any savings from gardening and preserving the food. Another way to make use of the abun­ dance of the season’s fruits is to make jams, jellies and preserves. These are also excellent ways to make use of fruit that is not well suited for canning or freezing the largest or smallest fruits and berries and those that are irregularly shaped. Good weather in Michigan has helped to produce plentiful crops this summer. Using fresh fruits and vegetables as quickly as possible after purchase or harvest, cooking them properly, and preserving prodrce while it is at its peak of quality can mean real advantages to the consumer.

VISITORS IN MIDDLEVILLE Editor’s Note: This newspaper does not speak for the merchants, of course, just as Mr. Johnson does not speak for all the people of the community. However, if Mr. Johnson finds it uncomfortable to obey the traffic laws of this community, his boycott of Middleville businessmen is one price we will have to pay for law and order. TK GIRLS BASKETBALL Take Advantage of Harvest For Quality and Savings By taking advantage of Michigan's abundant harvest of fruits and vegetables at its peak now, consumers can enjoy unparalleled quality and dollar savings. Jerry Cash, MSU Extension specialist in foods and nutrition, points out that all fresh fruits and vegetables are perishable. He advises buying them frequently and keeping them cool and dry to reduce the chance of spoilage and waste. One way to take advantage of the availability of fresh fruits and vegetables is to preserve them at home. Be aware, however, that home food preservation requires a great deal of time, energy and money. The cost of maintaining a freezer for several months may make storebought food just as economical, as well as less time consuming. On the other hand, the quality of home-frozen produce may be superior. The cost of quality in food is an important consideration, Cash notes. Two or three generations ago, home canning was a matter of family economics. Today, inflation and a “back to nature” trend have led many homemakers to look at home preservation of fruits and vegetables as a way to save money on food. In any type of home food preservation, certain procedures must be followed to insure quality and safety. Whether it be drying, canning or freezing, failing to follow proper procedures could result in spoiled food and increased food costs. Cash says, dried vegetables, which may lose much of their flavor as they dry, are best used in soups, casseroles, sauces, stuffing and stews. For most fruits and vegetables, drying doesn’t compare with the high quality of canning or freezing. The canning process involves heating the food hot enough and long enought o destroy spoilage organisms. This also stops the action of enzymes that may cause undesirable changes in the flavor, color and texture of the fruit or vegetable.

To young people who have lost hope of ever qualifying for a mortgage: “Earth sheltered housing is a benevolent sleeping giant in this country, and with the techno­ logical breakthrough of the Earth Arch, may be just the turnaround in affordable housing that the average person needs at this time.” Steams further noted, “If the estimated heating bills and the projected per square feet construction costs are accurate, then mortgage loan officers could find themselves qualifying thou­ sands of applicants they are currently turning down.” To the person who has been mildly interested in earth sheltered housing but who has mixed opinions: “For an earthsheltered house that heats and cools for less than $7 a month, most people would expect to make many sacrifices, perhaps even live in a structure that compares to a basement. This model completely ex­ plodes that myth, because it’s very hard to stand in this 21 -foot high living room and feel like you’re in a dark, damp basement.” To homeowners who’ve had their mortgage paid for ten years and feel too settled to make any changes: “For a long time the average American felt a home was his best hedge against inflation, but now sees his investment threatened by soaring energy costs. Imagine the com­ mon sense of this type home. When a conventional house is set next to an Earth Arch in 1990, the owner will be trying to sell a home that costs $3,000 more a year just to heat.” To architects, designers and contractors involved in the residential construction market: “This housing industry today is under the same pressure the auto industry has been experiencing over the last few years. In order to survive ” Steams pre­ dicted, “they will have to be creative because they’re not receiving federally guaranteed loans like some large corpora­ tions.” “The construction industry has already looked at earth-sheltered housing, but felt it was too expensive to build. The Earth Arch, designed by NOVA, a Grand Haven based architectural firm, is a crea­ tive departure from other earth-sheltered designs because instead of trying to bury a 3-bedroom ranch, this design makes a beautiful and comfortable house out of a fabricated tunnel. This simple logic has escaped designers for a long time.” Steams discussed other differences be­ tween his “Dream Home” and conven­ tional housing: “This structure has been compared to a super-insulated house,” he explained, “but the main difference between this house and conventional housing is that no matter how well or how innovatively conventional houses will be insulated, the homeowner will be adding or removing heat based on air temperature outside.” “Moving into the Earth Arch is like moving to an island where it’s always 56° because the earth maintains this tempera­ ture. In the summertime well have to warm the house from 56° to a comfort­ able temperature by opening a window. In the winter well capture a little sun­ shine. If the sun isn’t shining, well bake cookies.” Steams concluded: “With its 7 micro­ processors controlled by a main computer, a satellite receiver station, computercontrolled environmental chamber, and outside spa on a 12* x 70’ deck, this house is a futuristic look into creature comforts for adults and a semester’s worth of science for students.” From the ’backyard* the home is almost invisible. The center of the Hudsonville Earth Arch is a dr am tic 21 feet.

Check Out Solar Energy Companies First The solar energy inAistry, still in its infancy, promises to be a truly exciting market. But while the industry is very new - while some companies are forming and dissolving rapidly and others are forming and establishing themselves, how do you, the consumer, protect yourself? How does the solar energy buyer with minimal knowledge purchase the right solar product for his/her needs, the best product for the price, and enjoy peace of mind thereafter - security about warranties, repairs, etc; “First of all, the very best protection you have is your own knowledge,” said Cynthia Fridgen, MSU Extension housing and energy specialist. “The more solar education you have, the less likely that you will be taken advantage of. Having enough knowledge means reading about alternative energy systems, talking to folks who have them, talking to distribu­ tors and comparing claims made about products against your growing knowledge.” Most people do not have the time to become experts cm solar, wind or water power and others may not be inclined to do so, Fridgen admits. But, with a little effort, they can learn what questions to ask. Continue to ask salesmen questions until you are satisfied with the answers. Don’t be put off by technical jargon most solar systems can be cieariy ex­ plained in layman’s terms, Fridgen says. When dealing with any solar energy company, take some standard business precautions: - ask to see a business license and cer­ tificate of training, - ask for local references and check them out, - check with the Better Business Bureau or other consumer protection agency about the firm’s reliability, - do not buy through the mail or from door-to-door salesmen, - insist on a written contract with all guarantees cieariy spelled out. Warranties should be for one year on parts and labor and three yean on tanks and nonmoving parts. • be sure that your local building de­ partment will give you a permit to install the product. - check prices. If the product is reput­ able, chances are there is more than one distributor in Michigan. Call around and compare prices. - check on the availability of state and federal tax credits before you depend on them to reduce the cost of energy equip­ ment. Write to MSU Bulletin office, P.O. Box 231, East LansLig, 48824, and ask for Bulletin 1548, “Energy Tax Credits.” Occasionally, sales representa­ tives will ckim that tax credits are avail­ able on their product when actually they are not. - remember that if you sign a contract in your home for over $25, you legally have three business days to cancel that contract. At this point, you may be wondering whether you want to get involved with alternative energy systems. Solar energy can be one of the best investments you ever make, but because you’re buying an innovation, a piece of future tech­ nology, you need to be cautious. If you have made what you think is a bad purchase and you believe that fraud or misrepresentation is involved, you may call the office of the Attomy Gene­ ral, Consumers Protection Division, at 517-373-1140. After you explain what happenedjrou can get advice and arrange to fill out any forms that might be needed.

Mr. Van Lear paid a visit last Monday to Elvis’ learning class and thought other clubs should have classes like hers for women, as women have special problems. He said a woman called for two lessons in an emergency. He told her to take two asperin for the present. She took these lessons but no more. That’s emergency? When 1 came home Jo or John had been here and left me new libraby books. I wished I could have seen them. John and Joyce Jousma travelled to Racine, Wisconsin, this weekend to the Jim Johnson home.

Ask Yourself • “Should I Be a TK Booster Member?” BY A BOOSTER MEMBER If you answer yes to any of the follow­ ing questions then you should plan on being a Booster. Are you a student at the Thomapple Kellogg Middle School or High School, who hopes to participate in any of the Extra curricular activities such as the school play or musical, the marching or concert bands; school dances or the prom; yearbook staff or school paper. Student Council, the football, basketball, baseball, track, cross country, wrestling, volleyball, tennis or golf teams, or cheer­ leading? Are you a parent or a grandparent of a student who wants to be involved in the above? Are you an alumni who would like to see other kids have the same op­ portunities you had? Are you a parent of young children whom you hope will have the opportunities to be involved in the above activities when they get older? Or are you just a member of this community who really cares about the well rounded quality of education our young people re­ ceive? What kind of commitment, both money and time, is involved in becom­ ing a Booster? That’s up to the individual. Whatever that person feels he or she can do will be greatly appreciated. Whether it’s a donation of 50t. $1. $5, $10, $100, etc. If a person feds they don't have extra money to donate, maybe they could help take tickets for some sporting events, hdp sell or make popcorn, make signs advertising Booster events, etc. To repeat, we appreciate any help you can give. What are our immediate needs? We need participants in the Do-Da Parade. We’re hearing about adults who are plan­ ning on having some fun and being in this, but we’re not hearing about student involvement. Hey kids, all of these efforts are for you. All this money is being raised for your activities. This isn’t some­ thing we adults can do and just hand to you. We need you help, and especially your enthusiasm, or we’re just not going to make it. Be a Booster, ask how you can help; help plan and then work at these fund raisers. You can start by being in the parade. You can be anything you want and it doesn’t have to be all that elaborate. Just get your friends or team together, have some fun and feel good about helping a good cause . . . yourselves! For more information about the parade call Blanche Munjoy, 795-9509, or Phy 1 Miner 795-7444, or any other Booster. Remember, you have to register in ad­ vance. We recognize this is a big undertak­ ing, but with everyone working together, It will be a very successful endeavor. This isn’t the time to sit back and see what’s going to happen. We all have to make it happen! For more information on how to get involved or contribute, call Gary Thaler, 765-3821, or Sharon Schondelmayer, 795-3088. �Page 2 / August 27, 1981 / The Sun and News, Middleville, Michigan LETTERS Comments from our readers may be expressed in this column. AH letters must be signed, but names will be withheld for good reason and at the discretion of the newspaper Views express­ ed in this column are not necessarily those of The Sun and News. To the Editor: In answer to a letter written by Don Johnson in last week's paper, I whole­ heartedly DISAGREE! I work in Middleville 5 days a week at the Thornapple Valley Animal Hospital. Hardly a day goes by that I don’t hear the squeal of brakes on Arlington Street. It seems that a lot of people, myself in­ cluded, disregard the speed limit going north out of town, or coming into town. Since the police have had radar in their cruiser, it has influenced me and a lot of others to slow down and pay attention to the speed limit. School will be starting soon again and children will be crossing the streets. I for one feel that having a radar equipped police cruiser is a definite asset in guard­ ing the safety of those children as well as our own. If Mr. Johnson and his family feel they can no longer shop in Middleville because of the “inconvenience” of police radar, I feel sorry for them because they will be missing out on the warm and Middleville Jaycee's STEAK FRY Friday, August 28 VFW Hall Downtown Middleville 8 oz.

Forty other leaders from west ends. There was one beside Lescoa before. Michigan enjoyed the week of learning Sign coming into town has a branch in and good times. front of it. For winter why don’t they put the sign out by Otto's so State Road gets plowed, salted like the city streets. I don't believe there was any informa­ tion in Sun & News as to extending city limits and new radar. In times like these it’s a shame to pay for traffic tickets. I’m not alone in my feelings. Thank you Donald W. Johnson Dear TK Boosters Sincerely. Carly Slagel The TK Girls Tennis Team is going to be in the Do-Da Parade. We don't know yet how we're going to dress, maybe just carry our rackets and balls, but we know we’re going to be in it and help support the Boosters. We’re also planning a car wash, the funds of which will be donated to the Boosters. We challenge all the band stu­ dents. the cheerleaders, and all of the sports teams to meet or beat our participa­ tion in the Do-Da Parade. Next week we'll print the names of the teams big enough to meet our challenge! s CALEDONIA (J STOP COMMUNITY hyou can EDUCATION We can’t thank you enough for what you have been doing.

Government to provide shelter and provide immediate assistance caseworkers for immediate recovery teams. Another session will be held on Mon­ day. September 28. rounding out the course requirements. Within 30 days of this last session, a Mock Disaster will be ordered by the National Red Cross and we'll have to set up a shelter and provide care as required. We will have no warning • it could be at any time of the day or night. It is needed so we can see where our shortcomings are and become familiar with the shelter­ ing.

MI 49053 comp MAS - * IN MIDDLEVILLE THIS SATURDAY SHOW YOUR BOOSTER COLORS This Saturday is THE day - Do Da Day. that is! In an effort to raise money for the extracurricular programs that had been cut at TK school, the TK Boosters have set this Saturday a day of fun and money raising. It all gets started at 8 a m. at the VFW Hall downtown when the Boosters will be offering a pancake breakfast. The 'cakes, sausage, juice and coffee will be served until 11 a.m., and it’ll only cost $2.00, with children under 5 free. At 12:30 p.m., the DO DA parade gets underway from Calvin Hill Park Marching out to Grand Rapids Street and down the Main Street drag, the paraders will end up at the Middle School parking lot. This is a parade for anyone to shine. “Dress as you wish, push or pull what you wish, or ride in or on what you wish. Anything goes’!” says the Booster. There is an entry fee of $5.00 and prizes will be given out for the craziest entries. Some of the early entries in the parade include “The Flasher.” “Hen-Way Three.” “Snoo­ py and the Red Baron” “Fruit of the Loom Gang” and “King Bacon Fat and Queen Butter Patty from 1HOP ” There is also a Grand King and Queen “Ding-a-Ling” heading up the parade. There is plenty of room for more entries and a table will be set up at the park for anyone wishing to sign up on DoDaDay Radio Station WCUZ in Grand Rapids has made a “total” commitment of in­ volvement in the day, Booster spokesmen have reported. Disc jockeys from the sta­ tion will be participating in the parade (with all donations going to the Booster) and will then take on the Mighty Middle Villa softball team at Spring Park at 3:30. Beginning at 1:30 p.m. there will be all sorts of “fun and games” at the Spring Park. There will be a Kissing Booth manned by members of the football team, girls’ tennis and the WCUZ jockeys; a Dunk Tank filled with coaches, teachers and other personalities;a Dessert Booth; Hot dogs and cold drinks . Kiddie activi­ ties ;Speed Ball; a Car Smash; and a Home Run Hitting Contest. There will be a dollar donation to get into the park and all of the activities, of course, will carry a Booster price tag. All-in-all, it sounds like a busy, funfilled day. Plan on participating. HOME RUN CONTEST The Do Da Day Home Run Contest will be held at Spring Park following the WCUZ-Middlevilla softball game. Anyone can enter for the $2.00 fee and there will be trophies for first and second place. The contest will be divided into several rounds consisting of 8 pitches or 5 swings for each batter. After the completion of each round, up to one half if the partici­ pants will be eliminated, depending on the number of home runs hit by each. The elimination process will continue until a champion and runner up are de­ termined. You may use your own bat or one will be provided. It must be approved softball. You may use a pitcher of your choice, or one will be provided. Slowpitch only A home run is counted when the batter hits from within the batter's box and the ball cleans the outfield fence m fair territory without first touching the ground. The.Sun and News TWENTY CENTS PER COPY SEPTEMBER 3, 1981 • MIDDLEVILLE, MICHIGAN 49333 111th YEAR * NUMBER 36 TK School Opens Tuesday Same Time, Closes Earlier School opens in Middleville on Tuesday and both the kids and parents will have some adjusting to do this year. The biggest adjustment will be the new hours of the day. In an effort to trim staff this year, the board has gone to the so-called “fivehour day.” This means the school will be­ gin at the usual 8:30 a.m. but will end an hour earlier in the afternoon - at 2:10 p.m. instead of 3:10 p.m. Gone will be the teacher “conference hours” during the school day; teachers will schedule these either before the regular 8:30 beginning or at the end of the day. Gone also will be the traditional “study halls” in the high school; kids may have to take books home and actually do “homework !” Scheduling of classes may be some­ what of a problem with fewer class offer­ ings. And, it will be straight classtime for the school day - with a brief time-out for lunch. The system will be offering the state mandated 900 hours of classroom instruction, but it will be just fulfilling that requirement. From the parent’ point of view, the earlier class dismissal will mean junior will arrive home an hour sooner than last school year. For working parents this may prove to be a problem Contrary to popular belief, the Com­ munity Education will function this year, although us fulltime director was elimi­ nated in the budget cut.

About this time of year I always fed a little like the child who saved the frosting on his cake until last only to discover that some­ one else had eaten it before he could get to it. I look forward to summer all year, and it goes so fast I find myself a little bewildered that it has gone before I’ve had time to really enjoy it! The “take time to smell the roses along the way" philosophy is a great idea - if I could only figure out how to do it. There is so much to be done in Michi­ gan’s short summers. We can hardly wait to get seeds and plants started in the spring, and once having started plants growing, taking care of them becomes a responsibility - watering, fertilizing, spraying, etc. Then when our efforts are rewarded with flowers, fruits and vege­ tables, we’re hard pressed to use them all. Sometimes I’m tempted to just forget about canning the tomatoes or freezing the com, but then it surely is nice to just reach up on the pantry shelf or into the freezer and enjoy the benefits of summer’s efforts. The increasing cost of groceries makes it even more imperative that we preserve as much of nature's bounty as we possibly can. When I think of the time and effort the pioneer women put into stocking up and storing enough food to carry their families through the winter, and the facilities - or lack of ■ with which they worked. I fed a little ashamed of com­ plaining about the time it takes now. Some people have a real talent for “making something out of nothing,” or perhaps I should say making the most out of everything, wasting nothing. This recipe, which came from one of my mother's neighbors, uses extra large cucumbers, the ones that really are too big for anything else. The result is a pickle that looks and tastes a lot like apple rings, except that these are crisper. And they’re really pretty, too, especially for Christmas. CINNAMON RINGS ( 4 days to make ) Extra large cucumbers - peel and slice into rounds. Remove seeds from slices. 7 lbs. prepared slices. Soak overnight in 1 cup lime to 1 gallon water, or enough to cover. Next day, drain (DO NOT pour lime down drain) rinse well and soak 4 hours in cold water.

Business by Telephone People living in the Grand Rapids area can save time, money and gasoline by using “teleservice” when they have busi­ ness with Social Security. Robert Flemin ger. Social Security District Manager in Grand Rapids said recently. Now Social Security has started taking applications for retirement and survivors benefits by telephone. Here’s how it is done. A Social Security employee will fill out the application for you on the phone. The application will then be mailed to you for you to review, sign and return to Social Security by mail. You can mail the required personal records into the Social Security office. They will be copied and returned to you promptly. “Our teleclaims unit is ready and willing to take applications for retirement or survivors benefits,” Fleminger said. At present applications for disability benefits and supplemental security income cannot be done by phone. To apply by phone, call 616-456-2684 Persons outside of Grand Rapids can call collect “station to station.” If possible a representative will complete the claim right away. Otherside arrangements will be made to call you back. Persons wanting general information or calling about other Social Security matters should continue to call the general infor­ mation number. 456-2241. he said. “I feel our new teleclaims unit makes good sense,” Fleminger said. “With gas and parking prices high and time valuable, filing your claim by phone will be simpler for you.” It's Coming!

August 19. the grand­ stand of the Lowell Fair Grounds pro­ vided an appropriate setting for the friends of the John Taisma family to give them a farewell gift The gift idea - a friendship quilt - be­ gan as an expression of appreciation from the Kettle Lake 4-H Club. But as the idea was shared, enthusiasm for the project grew. Obligingly. Deana Humphrey. Ar­ lene Walma and Jackie Speck broadened their plans to include all who wished to de­ sign a square for a friendship quilt. A 15 inch square of white cloth was provided for interested individuals, fami­ lies or groups. “We told them,” says Deana Humphrey, “you may put any de­ sign on it in any way that you wish They did just that. Each finished square tells a story. Each one is different. When we started we wondered if we would have enough for one quilt, but we finished with enough for two.” Green and white, the 4-H colors, provide the colorful background for the 30 individual squares of the king-size quilt. The Caledonia school colors offset (he 15 squares of the twin-size quilt. 120 family names are identified on The Taisma Family John. Craig, Pam. Pat. Kurt and Valerie Back to School Sale these quilts. Representing Kettle Lake 4-H Club. St. Pauls Lutheran Church groups. Southkent Veterinary Clinic, Caledonia School activities and neighborhood gatherings, each colorful square indicates a distinct association. Some squares present a religious theme, some mysterious, some humorous: toge­ ther they tell a story of the 20 eventful years that John and Pat Taisma lived in Caledonia. ‘The amazing thing is.” says Pat. “that with all this happening, we were not aware of it. Kurt actually saw one of the squares but didn't catch on. Words to thank don't come easily.” Holding her crossed hands to her chest, she adds. T feel so much inside that can't be expressed. As we leave, no one will be forgotten. There will be i distance between us, but we'll never forget them ” The 'two warm reminders' of friend ship accompany the Talsmas as they move to Bruce Crossing. MI. where Dr John Taisma will establish the Deep Woods Animal Clinic. “And having these two friendship quilts." says Pat. "I'll be singing. 'Thanks for the memories'.” by Wilma A.

Main Street Caledonia, Mi. 49316- 891 8117 ________ �Page 6 / September 3, 1981 / The Sun and Newt, Middleville, Michigan Trojans Rebuilding With New Faces, New Head Coach After two consecutive years as a quali­ fier in the state playoffs. Middleville is certainly in line for a rebuilding year. Gone from last season’s team are All­ State performers Monte Munjoy and Brian Oosterhouse and numerous All-Conference players. In all, eighteen of the twenty starters from the 1980 team were lost to graduation. However, that loss seems minimal compared to the losses suffered by the coaching staff. Coaches Robert White and Gerald Page, who led the Tro­ jans to an incredible record of 140 wins, 27 losses, and six ties, have retired from coaching. Taking over at the helm will be long­ time assistant Ray Page. Ray has served under Coach White and Coach Page for a total of fifteen yean. Keith Rhines will also coach the varsity squad, leaving 12 year assistant Gary McKee with the head JV job. McKee will have the help of head basketball coach Ray Pranger. Running the freshmen program will be Tom Leh­ man and former Middleville standout Doug Ybema. The Trojans will rely on 11 returning lettermen in their quest to repeat as league champions. The two returning starters for Coach Page are defensive tackle Todd Sloan and linebacker Harvey Lapierre. Senior running backs Clyde Lewis arrid Mike Browne have a year of varsity ex­ perience under their belts and will be heavily depended upon by the team, as will nose guard Mike Dugan, offensive guards Craig Bell and Jamie Schierbeek. defensive halfbacks Dave Sensiba and John Lyons,and Mark DeYoung, a tight end who has switched* to center. Coach page is expecting alot from seniors Brad Stahl. Marty Boysen and Steve Scott, who each return to the team after taking a year off. Steve will be the quarterback foi Middleville, and his com­ petitive nature should prove to be a very valuable asset. Juniors will be expected to fill many key positions and to back up seniors at many others. Fighting for starting posi­ tions are: Ends Tony Doornbos. Phil Teater and Brian Willshire Tackles. Scott Harns. Bill Perry and Wes Rosenberg Guards; Ed Wilson. Doug Van Dy ken and Jon DeForest: Center. DougCisler. Nose guard Bob Goodenough and Backs: Tim Lukas and Jim Verlinder. Junior line­ backer Rob Boshears and junior flanker Dave VanSickle will hopefully be two of the many underclassmen standouts. Sophomore lineman Scott Noffke and sophomore running back Tom Berry are working out with the varsity and hope to make the varsity team this fall. Hudsonville Pre-Season Grid Pick In contrast to recent years, the OK Blue Conference is wide open with many teams capable of winning the title. Hudsonville, who has finished second to Middleville the last two seasons, has to be considered the preseason favorite. The Eagles will receive plenty of competition from Kelloggsville, Caledonia and Middleville, who all will be hoping to pull off an upset. Comstock Park. Byron Center and Hamilton all have a legitimate shot at the title, but each school graduated their starting quarterback Lee, which is in the NUMBERS IN THE BACKFIELD for the Trojans this fall will be David VanSickle rebuilding stage, is still at least a year (10) quarterback, a junior and seniors Steve Scott (18) quarterback. Clyde Lewis (42) away from being a contender but hopes to halfback and Mike Browne (33) halfback. pull out a few victories this season. With no truly dominant teams, the Blue should liave a very interesting season TK Coaching Varsity filled with upsets. The team escaping in­ juries will probably emerge the victor. Betty’s Beauty Salon PHONE 795-9062 Also Evenings by Appointment 7105 PARMELEE ROAD 1% miles East of Whitneyville Schedule Staff Students Meeting Challenge Last week the TK tennis team chal­ lenged the band, the cheerleaders and all the other sports teams to meet or beat our participation in the Do-Da Parade. These are the teams that have definitely met our challenge: The varsit football team; the wrestling team, by virtue of the fact that most of them also play foot­ ball; the band, varsity cheerleaders; golf cross-country track and varsity basket­ ball Rumor has it that these teams are also trying to get together: girls basketball, both varsity and JV. the JV and Fresh­ man cheerleaders, the baseball team, the JV and fresliman football team; the JV and fresliman boys basketball and the flag girls It has been difficult for the coaches or sponsors to get the kids from some of these activities together especially the spring sports. But many of them have overlapping activities, so it’s working out pretty well. Also, if you’re a band student either Jr. or Sr. High and have not yet been con­ tacted. it’s not because we don’t want you. TWO RETURNING lettermen Coach Ray Page (center) is expecting much from this season are Trojan seniors Todd Sloan (78) a 220 lb. tackle and Harvey LaPierre (30) linebacker and halfback. it's because about six of the calling parents lost their list. So if you’d like to be in the parade, call Mr. Nash and let him know. We need you. Student response has been great! Thankskids! We knew we could count on your help when we really needed it.

MiddieVilla, Fish in- The, Sun and Neius Here are a few hints that can make the chore of painting your house a lit tie easier . . and allow you to have the satisfaction of doing a good job yourself, while saving money for more necessary —or enjoyable —activities Before you begin, here are some suggestions to help you estimate just how much paint to buy for a given house painting job: (1) Compute the number of square feet of surface to be covered To do so. determine the distance around the house, tn feet, then find the aver­ age height to the eaves and add two feet to that figure. (This will allow for the paint you'll need for the gables ) Last, multiply the former result by the latter 12) Ask your paint dealer approximately how many square feet each gallon of undercoat will cover, then divide the to­ tal area of the house by this figure. (3) Finally, learn how much area a gallon of topcoat house paint will cov­ er and compute how much of that you 11 need Here s an example: I^t's say your home is 20‘ by 40 with an average height to the eaves of 13 By multiplying 120* (the perimeter) by 15' (the average height to the eaves plus 21 you’ll find that the surface area is about 1.800 square feet A good grade of undercoat or primer should cover about 350 square feet per gallon, and a top-quality house paint covers 400 square feet per gal­ lon A little simple arithmetic reveals that 5 gallons of undercoat and 4-1/2 of house paint should do the job. The first portion of your house painting task is sur­ face preparation, which usually involves scraping, sanding, and caulking . with maybe a bit of priming here and there. It'll take about half a day for the average home. Begin by hosing down the exterior surfaces, then scrape any peeling, cracked, or chipped spots (Areas which are taken down to the bare wood should get a coat of primer.) Finally, replace any loose or missing putty around windows, and recaulk the window frames, doors, and chimneys as needed. The second part of the chore is painting the trim and windows. The trim is usually easy, unless you've got an old house with overhanging eaves (wear a hat for this job). If you use care when painting the windows, you'll save time in the long run, because you won't have to scrape the panes later on. Then comes the main body of the house which is the easiest part, because you can use a wide brush and make long strokes. For large, smooth areas you can try painting with an industrial roller. It holds a lot of paint and, in most cases, will cover as well as a brush . . but do so much more quickly. Don't forget drying time .. . allow at least 48 hours between coats. The final task is to clean up the yard area by gather­ ing stray paint chips, old caulking, and putty, and throwing them away. (Do a good job . scraps of old paint can be ingested by children and cause lead poi­ soning.) Once you’ve finished, you can sit back and re­ lax. knowing you've done a thorough job and hedged yourself against inflation one more time!

Set Missionary Conference At Leighton This Weekend The Leighton United Methodist Church will hold its Second Annual Missionary Conference on Saturday and Sunday. September 12-13. The theme of the con­ ference. “So Send I You," is a reminder that every Christian is called of God to be involved in the mission and ministry of Jesus Christ around the world. The primary speaker of the Conference will be Dr. J. T. Scmands, professor of Christian Missions at Asbury Theological Seminary in Wilmore, Ky. Dr. Seamonds grew up in India as the son of missionary parents. Later, after receiving degrees from Asbury College, Asbury Theological Seminary and the University of Kentucky, he returned to India as a missionary under the Methodist Church. Following twenty years of missionary service, Dr. Seamands accepted the position he now holds at Asbury. Over the years, he has traveled over half a million miles in missionary work, and has preached in over fifty dif­ ferent countries. Also participating in the weekend will be Rev. Dick Barker, who is presently the pastor of the Wayland United Metho­ dist Church. Rev. Barker served for a number of years as a missionary in Japan. He will lead the Men’s Prayer Breakfast. The conference will begin with a Men’s Breakfast to be held at the Wagon Wheel Restaurant in Caledonia beginning at 7:30 a.m. on Saturday. On Saturday evening there will be a 7:00 p.m. potluck dinner at the church followed by the evening service at 8:00 pm. Members of the congregation who participated in missionary work crusades during the past year will share their experiences, and Dr. Seamands will speak. On Sunday morning will come a high­ light of the conference when, at the con­ clusion of the 10:00 a m. worship service, the congregation will make “Faith Pro­ mises” for missions for the coming year. Last year’s Faith Promises have brought in over $ 10.000 for missions, and an even greater amount is anticipated this year. The Conference will end with a special youth service at 7:00 p.m. Sunday. A musical group from Berrien Springs will present a special program, and Dr. Sea­ mands will bring the closing message. Members of the community are cor­ dially invited to share in the events of this conference. The Leighton Church is located on the corner of 142nd Avenue and 2nd Street, about 5 miles west of Middleville.

The Society has taken a leader­ ship role in preservation efforts and recently received the completed feasibility study report made by an architectural firm. The board expressed the Society’s interest in participating at future dedica­ tory ceremonies of the Barry County Courthouse In August the courthouse was entered in the National Register of Historic Preservation upon nomination by the Michigan History Division of the Department of State and confirmation by the State Historic Preservation Review Board as a site of outstanding historical and architectural significance. The fornial acceptance by the Heritage conservation and Recreation Service, Department of the Interior, was made in August.

The board approved the pur­ chase and sale of future limited editions of china plates with other illustrations of Barry County history. Agnes Smith chairs this committee. Expenditure of funds for the reproduc­ tion and permanent binding of published articles on Nashville was approved by the board.

People frequently pride themselves as accurate weather predictors And some folks, especially sailors, have been practicing this art. out of reach of radio and TV' forecasters, for a very long time Here are a few “quaint'' weather sayings (many of which turned out to be true when put to the test by modern technology! that may help you plan your outings or your garden work in the future: • If there’s dew on the grass, there's a good day ahead. A dry morning means rain. • Look for a trawler with a smokestack. If its smoke rises straight into the air. there will be good weather. If the smoky stream curls downward, a storm is brewing. • Watch the local seabirds. If they're roosting, it's be­ cause thinning air (the sign of an imminent squall) is harder for them to fly in. • “Red sky at morning, sailors take warning. . . red sky at night, sailors delight '. • A morning rainbow is a sign of rain. Insects swarm and seem more annoying during the drop in pressure that precedes rain or a storm. Bees stay doser to their hives Ants get unusually busy and scurry about, moving their eggs from place to place. Animals become restless, uneasy, and more active and noisy. Conversely, when atmospheric pressure rises, fish become more active and swim nearer the surface (it's a good tune to go angling!. During the winter, the ice on frozen ponds and lakes will begin to crack and boom during periods of rising pressure People seem happier and friendlier Birds fly higher during high pressure (fair sky) weather and lower prior to a storm. The old saying that a halo around the moon or sun is a frequent portent of rain or snow is true Such a circle is formed (actually, in our own eyes! when we look at some of the moon s or sun's rays as they're reflected through the frozen crystals of moisture m thin, high cirrostratus clouds These clouds generally move 12 to 16 hours ahead of broad, moisture-laden warm fronts, which usually bathe wide tracts of land in slow, steady precipitation as they sweep across the continent To make a “never fail weather barometer, old-tim­ ers in the upper Midwest find themselves a balsam fir tree. They cut from that tree a chunk of small branch, which has a 16- to 18-inch-long twig growing out of it. “Trim and scrape the bark away from the whole as­ sembly.” one of the old backwoodsmen told us. "and drill a little hole in the top end of the short main sec­ tion. Then tack the indicator to the wall of your garage or corncrib so that the long twig points up. It'll stay that way during fair weather but. just before and during a storm, it 'll point down.''

The mill, originally built about 1850 as a saw mill, was converted to a grist mill about 1864. The quality of its buckwheat flour was noted throughout western Michigan. In 1902 a cider press was added and was used to the 1940’s when the mill closed down, burdette Briggs sold the original press to Neil Engel and in the early days farmers wagons were lined up for the apple press. The press was capable of pressing 38 bushels of apples at one time, making 100 gallons of cider. Refreshments of cider and donuts will be served by the refreshment committee, Eileen Oehler and Charlotte Heath, following the tour and stories of the mill and a short business meeting. Because the tour is on private property and the invitation was made to the society, membership will be required for entrance. However, Ernie Appelman, Membership Chairman, has promised to sign up new members at the door. The society year is September through June and dues are $3. per year. ED BAKER, D.D.S.

Caledonia had problems holding on to the football as they lost 5 fumbles and had 3 passes intercepted. The fumble that really fyurt the Fighting Scots was on their own 4 yard line. Wayland scored its only touch­ down 2 plays later . Caledonia was inside Wayland’s 20 yard line three times, once with a first and goal inside the 10, but fumbled away opportunities all three times Caledonia’s defense led by Fred Zylstra, Paul Stuefen, Mark Batchelor and Dave Harmsen held the Wildcat offense in check all night long. Wayland attempted 10 passes completed none and two were picked off by Mike Mitchell of Caledonia. Caledonia's punting game looked good as Rob Koehl punted 4 times for an average of 39.8 yards. The Fighting Scots offense could only pick up 63 yards in 32 attempts in the rushing column. These yards were equally divided between Kevin Kelly and Rob Koehl. In the passing department. Doug Wilson attempted 17 passes, completed 6 for 71 yards and had 2 picked off by the Wildcat secondary. Mike Mitchell and Brad Harrison were Caledonia's leading receivers with 4 and 2 respectively.

In the Lowell meet, the Red Arrow runners captured Tint, second and third to automatically win the meet, but the Scots showed excellent team depth by taking the next 13 places in the race with Dave Rackow, Todd Taylor, Tim Holliday, Mike Timmers, Scott Cherpes, Mark Ladiousier and Rob Durkee all having good times. In the Scots’ 28-30 victory over Ionia, the man factor was definitely team depth again as Ionia’s 4th man was pushed back to I Oth place and their 5th man finished a distant 18th.

TheSun and News At the September 3, 1981 meeting of the Barry County Solid Waste Commit­ tee, held in Middleville Village Hall, the impending legislative action on the Ad­ ministrative Rules for P.A. 641 was the major topic of discussion. The commit­ tee discussed the presentation Rod Mosher, a D.N.R. representative, gave at their previous meeting and V. Harry Adrounie gave a report on the final public hearing on the rules which he had attended. After some discussion, it was the concensus of the Committee that despite some small technical problems in the rules as they stand now. they are still preferable to the vacuum that presently exists. To formalize this decision, a letter encouraging the legis­ lature to adopt the rules is to be drafted and submitted to the Board of Commis­ sioners for their approval. In other business. Chairman Adrounie took the opportunity to comment on the small public turn­ out at the meeting. This is the first of a series of meetings to be held at various locations around the County, designed to give the public maximum opportunity to be heard on the future of solid waste planning in the County. Mr. Adrounie panted out that “while this Committee does not exist to con­ sider past or present solid waste pro­ blems. its actions will have a consider­ able impact on County residents in the future. Public input is needed now to be included in the Plan. After the plan is completed, those who have not be­ come involved in the planning process will have little grounds for complaints”. In a related issue, invitations from Prairie­ ville and Yankee Springs Townships were considered and the Committee voted to hold their October 1 meeting at Prairieville. Treasurer, Sylvia Dulaney re­ ported that she was awaiting $3,000 in a reimbursement from the D.N.R. which was submitted in May and another of $2m 750 in expenses was submitted in August. Committee work on the Plan is progressing well and two sub-commit­ tees were appointed to work on special­ ized areas of the Plan. Ken Niel will chair a committee to develop tech­ nical sections and Jim Gordon will head a group looking into management problems. The meeting closed with two announcements. Barb Furrow reported that the Southcentral Michigan Planning Commission will be sponsoring a work­ shop on “Energy* from Waste” on October 31. and those wishing more information should contact her Robert Henry announced that he is nearly ready to open a recycling center in Irving and will present details at the Commit­ tee’s next meeting.

Sometimes the first win is the hardest. We are certainly happy to have this win under our belt. One thing that you always look for in coaching is improvement and we felt that we did play a better game. This week our offense was much better. It’s a big advantage to take the opening kick-off and drive down and score. It gave the whole team a psychological edge. We felt we could run on Byron Center, but we did plan on throwing a lot more. The field position and the score never seemed to give us the oppor­ tunity. I thought we were never going to score that second touchdown. The first time the official changed his “mind”; I lost my case! As someone said, “It’s a good thing you are not a lawyer’’. I did, however, win my second case, when 1 finally convinced them that pass inter­ ference was an automatic first down. At least two Middleville defensive players brought down Byron Center’s quarterback. Maybe next week I should wear a Scott Allan (32) on this attempt to get around left end. It didn’t work, and he lost striped shirt! I’ve watched a few foot­ two yards on the play. Middleville won the contest, 22-6. ball games in my time, but that is the first time I have ever seen anyone punt the ball off the ground as Byron Center did in the last quarter. The officials should have called that an illegal kick, but I guess they just missed it. 1 thought our defense did a good job most of the game. Byron Center has a fine young quarterback in Soph­ omore Scott Allan. This week could be our big game of the season-Hudson­ ville. They have to be rated the best team in the league. We hope we cen give them a few surprises. We’d like to see you there as we can certainly use the support Bob Vandenberg established two Sandy Irwin finished 13th in the Middle­ for this one. course records this past week.

MIDDLEVILLE SPORTS Vandenberg Establishes Two Cross Country Records TK Athletic Admissions Set by League Boy's Golf Girl's Basketball HAIR CUTTING and STYLMG CUT & CURL SALON by Jim T. Verlinde Middleville opened their OK Blue League season last Friday, avenging the previous week’s loss. The Trojan off­ ense fashioned quite a rushing attack in the 22-6 win over the Byron Center Bull­ dogs. Clyde Lewis struggled three yards for a TD in the first quarter to put the Trojans on the top with a lead they never gave up. Lewis managed another three yards for the two-point conversion. The second quarter was Middle­ ville’s most productive. The Trojan back field combined for 86 rushing yards and one touchdown. Lewis crossed the goal line for the six-pointer and Mike Brown scampered in for the conversion. The TK Varsity led at halftime by a score of 16-0. Byron Center outrushed Middle­ ville in the third quarter but failed to score until well into the fourth, when Lynn McGuire scored from the Trojan five yard line. The conversion attempt failed. The Trojans scored soon after on another Clyde Lewis carry, but they failed to collect the extra points. Only seconds remained on the clock, and Middleville was on its way to an OK Blue victory. The Bulldogs had a rough night. Quarterback Scott Allan was the lead­ ing rusher with 39 of Byron Center’s 96 yards. Seventy -eight penalty yards were a major setback for the Bulldog cause. A strong Trojan ground attack picked up 199 yards as Mike Brown and Clyde Lewis carried for 110 and 81 yards respectively. Quarterback Steve Scott connected on two of four passes for 20 yards. Middleville’s “Orange Crush” de­ fense shined once again, holding the Bulldog quarterbacks to three com­ pletions in 1 2 attempts. The Trojans came on strong in the final quarter, stopping Byron Center to a negative five yards rushing. Linebacker Harvey LaPierre, end John Lyons, and line­ man Mike Dugan turned in impressive performances with LaPierre collecting a team-leading total of 13 tackles. Tommorrow, the TK Varsity will host the always tough Hudsonville Eagles. Junior Varsity Shuts Out Byron Center by Jim T. Verlinde The Junior Varsity Trojans began their league games last Thursday, shutting out the Bulldogs of Byron Center 32-0. Offense and defense combined superb efforts for the win. Middleville could not score in the first quarter, despite many opportunities, but the Trojans discovered paydirt in the second quarter on a 4-yard run by Scott Kaminski. Quarterback Chris Wingcier connected on a pass to Robb Pickard for the two-point conversion. Middleville went into the halftime with a lead of 8-0, holding Byron Cen­ ter to seven rushing yards in the first two quarters. The Trojans crossed the goal line four times in the last half but could not convert the PAT”s. Monty San­ ford scored in the third quarter on a 24-yard run and again later, catching a Wingeier pass for a 60-yard TD. Kaminski ran for six points in the last quarter as did Ron Smith in the closing minutes. The Trojan offense performed well in the rushing department. Ka­ minski led the backs with 94 yartft. Sanford and Smith combined for an­ other 91 Middleville’s defense held the Bulldogs to 23 yards rushing. Line­ backer Adam Wegner, noseman Jim Gonzales, and halfback Terry Sensiba turned in outstanding performan­ ces. Wegner recovered a nimble and intercepted a pass. Tonight, the TK Junior Varsity will play the Eagles of Hudsonville at Hudsonville. �The Sun and News, Middleville, Michigan / September 24, 1981 / Page 7 Runners Bring Home Honors Scots Stopped by Rockets Middleville Invitational The Fitting Scot Cros* Country team returned home with their first trophy of the 1981 season as they finished in second place on September 16th in the second annual Middleville Invitational.

JV’s Fall in Close Encounter by Paul Stuefen The Caledonia JV football team lost a very close 12-6 contest last Thursday at Kelloggsville. The first half ended at a dead­ lock, as both teams were playing great defense. The Rockets had one good scoring drive just before the half only to be halted by a Tim Dobson inter­ ception at the Caledonia 32 yard line. The second half opened with Caledonia's Eric Haglund taking the ball of tackle 65 yards for the touch­ down. The extra point attempt failed as Haglund was stopped just short of the goal line. With Caledonia leading 6-0 with only a few minutes left in the third, the Rockets capped off a nice drive with Dale Worth taking the ball over from 24 yards out. The extra point attempt failed for the Rockets. With the game even at 6 apiece, Caledonia turned the ball over on an interception and the Rockets capi­ talized on a 14 yard run with only minutes left in the game. The Scot’s made a good effort to tie it up. but time ran out. Caledonia got a good perfromance out of Haglund who carried 11 times for 88 yards, 65 of them coming on his third quarter touchdown jaunt. Leading the team in tackles on defense were Brian Kidder with 12 and Mike Crumback with 11. The Scots will host Lee this Thursday looking for their first win. 1981 CALEDONIA TENNIS TOURNAMENT Bob Simkins, Tournament Director for the 1981 Caledonia Tennis Tour­ nament, has announced plans for this year’s annual event.

Middle School Counselor School phones 795-3349 or 795-3340 “Helping Yourself to Mental Health” More is known about environ­ mental factors as the cause of mental disorders than other factors like: biochemical factors, hereditary and genetic influences, and how people view themselves. A good environment is one in which the'people can feel self esteem. They need to fed respected, important in the scheme of things, valued at home, on the job, at school, and at play. People whose environ­ ment fosters their self esteem get along well with most other people. People who lack it may become harsh in judging others, come to hate themsdves, and project their hostility upon other people. It is sometimes advisable to change the environment. This is sometimes the reason for the statement, “You need a change of scenery.” There are a number of simple steps that can help in keeping and achieving good mental health. They actually are ways of making life run more smoothly and easily as well. When people relax, so can others around them. When they are coopera­ tive and outgoing, they stimulate the co-operative spirit in others. On the other hand, when people are fearful and tense, they bring forth a defen­ sive reaction from others. Here are some suggestions: 1. Help others 2. Don’t overreact-“Use the Easy Does It Approach” 3. Handle anger 4. Don’t brood 5. Proceed one step at a time More on these five points next week.

Admission is free. The Leighton United Methodist Church will hold a Homecoming Service on Sun­ day . October 11. The event has been plan­ ned in order to honor and recognize all those persons who have gone out from the church into some kind of full time Christian service. Plans for the service began last winter during a discussion about when the church would recognize a form­ er member who was recently ordained an elder in the West Michigan Conference of the United Methodist Church. It was de­ cided then to hold a special service, at which time all those who had gone out from the church into Christian ministries would be recognized. Making a list of those persons has been a considerable undertaking. Even though the Leighton congregation is a “small” church of just over 200 members, there have been approximately 25 persons over the years who have entered cither the or­ dained ministry or who have gone into some other Christian ministry. Many of these persons will be in attendance at the Homecoming Celebration. The Homecoming events will include a 6:00 p.m. potluck dinner in the church’s Parish Hall, followed by a 7:00 p.m. service in the sanctuary. During the ser­ vice, all those former members now in Christian service who are able to return will share briefly about their present ministries. In addition, several who will not be able to attend are sending taped messages and slides, which will be pre­ sented to the congregation during the same service. A highlight of the evening will be the presentation of two new plaques, one bearing the names of the ten men who have gone from Leighton into the ordained ministry, and the other bearing the names of persons involved in other Christian ministries. Both plaques will have ample space for many additions in the years ahead. The members of the Leighton Church wish to extend a warm invitation to all of our friends in the community to join us in our Homecoming Celebration on Sunday, October 11.

It was just that twist of Susan’s novel that brought it to the editor’s attent ion. The novel tells of a beautiful woman in the early 19th century England who plans to wed a man chosen by her step­ mother, the wife of her ill father. When she accidentally witnesses her mother and fiance together in more than just a tete-a-tete, she is so shocked she tumbles down a flight of steps and is temporarily blinded. Finally, the herone marries another dynamic guy and they head for Point Pelee on Lake Ene in Canada. Susan said she had visited the site many times and loved it. There are more adventures in Canada for the book’s characters, all drawn from Susan’s travels there.

To the Editor; Monday evening, September 21,1 attended the travelog at the Middleville High School sponsored by the Lions Oub. The pictures were superb and the illustrat­ or did a wonderful job of explaining and describing each scene. I came home with the feeling that I had been to France and the Riviera. However, I was thoroughly disappoint­ ed to see such a small crowd. What has happened to the community spirit in Middleville? When you realize all the good the Lions Club does for the community, it seems that you would support them in any of their projects. After all, where else can you go for an evening’s entertainment for only $2.50. Granted, the weather was not very cooperative that evening, but wonder if the weather keeps you from your bowling, bingo or movie dates. Also, there were very few students in attendance, and as these travelogs are educational, I recommend they be seen by any history student. Come on, folks. Let’s get behind our Lions club and give them some support.

Kent Intermediate School District.'The first phase of the three-part program, an intensive two-day study of local govern­ ment involving nearly 1000 students, will take place on October 28 and 29 in various locations throughout the county. In February, an expected 900 students will travel to Lansing for a e one-day “Close-Up” look at state govern­ ment. During that day students will have the opportunity to talk with state legislators about issues important to Michigan. Local and state programs are provided at no cost to students; the trip to Wash­ ington must depend upon fund-raising activities for most participants. The Close Up Foundation, based in Washington, D.C. provides each participating high school with one teacher fellowship and one student scholarship to be used for a needy student; all remaining students must raise their own funds to attend the national program. To date, 3,420 Kent area high school students and their teachers have attended Washington CloseUp in the past 7 years. So why not “pitch in”? With pledges, that is. All residents of Kent County will benefit from this student effort.

All of this money will be used to combat world hunger. This was the first season in which this project was tried, and it involved many people in the community - gardeners who shared their surplus produce and others who were happy to get fresh vege­ tables in return for a donation to C.R.O.P.

Caledonia Golf by Paul Stuefen The Caledonia JV Football team finally put it all together last Thursday evening to defeat the Lee Rebels 6-0 for their first victory of the year. The first quarter was scoreless, and showed that a very tough defensive struggle was going to dominate most of the game. It wasn’t until the second quarter that the Scots scored. They did it on a Mike Crumback to Scott DeVries 24-yard touchdown pass. Cnimback had a nice protection and found DeVries in the flats, who made a nice catch, and run, as he cut back at the five and took it over for six. Eric Haglund, who led the Scots ground game with 70 yards on 15 carries, was stopped short of the goal line on the PAT attempt. The rest of the game was pretty much a defensive battle. Late in the 4th quarter Haglund took it over from 3 yards out, but it was called back on a holding penalty. After that Lee took over on their own 20, but couldn't get anything going and time ran out. Caledonia also got a good performance from freshman Ryan Flynn who had 51 hard fought yards on 13 carries.

Caledonia’s defense was led by Rusty Crumback and Chad Creasy. Paul Stuefen, Ron Schultz and Gerry VanderVelde each had an interception for Caledonia. The defense held Lee to 79 yards rushing and Lee could only complete 1 of 8 passes for 16 yards. Caledonia’s offense at the same time was finally rolling up the numbers on the accurate passing arm of Doug Wilson and the balanced running attack the Scots have lacked in previous games. Wilson attempted 12 passes for the game and completed 7 for 141 yards. The Fighting Scots piled up 191 yards on the ground for a total of 334 yards. Paul Stuefen led the rushing game with 73 yards in 5 carries. This week the “High Flying" Eagles of Hudsonville invade the home of the Fighting Scots. Put together a great opportunity. Richard J.

I left home Thursday at 9:30 headed for Dayton, Ohio. Arrived at St. Elizabeth Rehab Center at 4:00, after 308 miles, to spend the rest of the day with John. Had lunch in the cafeteria with him and left for Fairborn at'7:15 to stay at his home. Friday I was up and to Rehab to have breakfast with him and spend the day to see the Rehab program for a day. They have occupational therapy and physical therapy from gunshot wounds, automo­ bile accidents, victims of strokes (many of them) and amputees. Each one doing his bit to get back to better health. It is a real interesting program to follow for a day. John had invited 5 of his nurses and therapists to a pizza party at noon with salad, cake and ice cream to help him celebrate his birthday. Then at 3:00, another birthday celebration so we had more cake. His daughter Anne had a clown come to sing him a birthday song which was a clever rendition of his life! At 6:00 more cake for one of the patients who was leaving for his home in the Bronx. New York. Really too much cake for one day. Now out to Fairborn for the night. Saturday I returned to Rehab to take John home for the week­ Betty’s Beauty Salon CASH FOR LAND CONTRACTS An, type □rope* tv anywhere. ’ n Michi»qan 24 Hours PHONE 795-9062 Also Evenings by Appointment 7105 PARMELEE ROAD 1% miles East of Whitneyville CaM Free 1 300 292 1550 ♦ ■<v Na^ofia' Accffp’ance Co end.

SERVICE NEWS CK1WCKI IMttCTOW MIDDLEVILLE CHRISTIAN REFORMED CHURCH Sunday School Worship Service moody and unable to take effective action, one sure way that person can break the cycle is to try to help someone else. Try to Analyze and handle anger. Anger quite often results from simple frustration. Quite often when people get angry over a certain situation, they may flare up sud­ denly at someone else. A good way to handle anger and tension is by talking with a trustworthy person, such as a per­ sonal friend, a clergyman, a physician, a relation (parents for kids) or k counselor. Don’t brood. Moping about a problem doesn’t do any good. Keeping busy, a change of pace, or refocusing energies and effort is a way of “getting away from it all” by constructive action. It means doing something positive and useful about a problem. Proceed one step at a time. By taking slow, well thought out steps a person can work towards solving problems, relieving tension, handling anger and reaching goals. In this way a person can get rid of that trapped feeling as well as take pride in his or her ability to handle the situation. It’s amazing how much control a person has over his or her life. The most impor­ tant factor is you.

I have a little bit of trivia for you this morning - I know it's something you've been worried about for quite a time. I’ve been canning for 39 years, but never bothered to wonder about it until this year. What is the difference between regular vinegar and white distilled vinegar? All these years I just took it for granted cider vinegar was like regular H-,0 and white distilled vinegar was like ffistilled H2O. One was the end product with all the impurities removed. Your pickling recipes all say use the white vinegar - because cider vinegar changes the pickles’ color a little. I’ve been using the cider vinegar be­ cause I figured those impurities were minerals, etc. all those kinds of goodies that are really necessary and good for you. The change in color was so slight that my pickle-eating crew never noticed as they went through gallons in a year. Now they are warning us don’t CLAY HILLS with WRETHA McNEE make pickles unless your vinegar is 5% acidity. Don't use homemade - because it’s not a consistent 5%. Then I began to wonder what the real difference was. Brittanica Encyclopedia says “There are many types of raw materials for use in manufacturing vinegar. Most widely used are apples for cider vinegar, grapes for wine, malted barley and oats for malted vinegar, industrial alcohol for white or distilled vinegar. ” Chemically, vinegar is simply a dilute solution of acetic acid containing soluble substances of the source material. Cider, wine and malt vinegar usually contain 5-6% total acetic acid. Distilled vinegar ranges in acid con­ tent from 5% to 12%. The more concen­ trated types are prefeired for commercial operation.” I wonder what the industrail alcohol is made from because it's cheaper in any quantity than cider’ Now. I'll have to dig to get the answer to that. 1 don’t know about you. but if I can learn one new thing or fact each day, I feel content. So now, do you feel enlightened on the subject of vinegar? I did but I still go on using my cider vinegar. I guess you could say I'm an enlightened 65-year old woman but set in my ways! Well I ve called all my friends and neighbors for news. They all said I ve stayed in, no news. Guess the rain shut all in. Last Monday evening Frances and Doris Haight, Fem and I went with June Colburn to attend the 25th wedding anni versary of cousins Ken and Dorothy Viening in Grand Rapids. Sandra Pojand called on me Tuesday afternoon. Later Mildred Morgan stopped in. She had been over to see Mr. and Mrs. Earl Crane and reported he is not a bit well. The Lucille Smalley Club had potluck dinner at Bea Cutler’s Friday. June and Howard Colburn, Janie Reed and I attended the wedding at Cedar Springs Saturday afternoon of Brenda McNee and Lloyd Cooper. Larry Poland family, Dave Foster family, Clarence McNee family also attended from Middle ville. A nice wedding. Congratulations Brenda and Lloyd.

There were no reported injuries in the area and considering the falling trees, most dwellings escaped with slight damage Without weather bureau warning, the storm struck with more inten sity than many folks have ever experienced. At 8:50 p.m. the winds increased “sounding like a low flying jet plane” or “a freight train pass ing overhead.” The storm was never officially classified a tornado, but a frontal wind coming mostly out of the north in the Middleville area. It apparently was several feet off the ground, because high, full foliage trees wen* the ones that took the brunt of the attack. Grand Rapids Street in Middleville seemed to be one of the hardest hit areas locally. Numerous trees were down, blocking the streets and ripping down power lines. Local firefighters worked through the night with village crews in opening roads and streets. Consumers Power crews also responded quickly and they began the task of repairing lines. A gathering of people at the Middleville United Methodist Church was trapped for a while when the storm struck. Power lines came down over cars in the parking lot and people were advised to stay put until the power company could remove the lines. Power was off in many areas for as long as 24 hours. Some area farm buildings were damaged by the wind, with the biggest loss coming at the Beuker Farm on Hanna Lake near 84th Street. Two large chicken coops (one 370 feet long and another 270 feet) were caved in with 55,000 chickens trapped inside. There were also reports of barn and silo damage in the Caledonia area.

It was taken down in four sections. Photo by Wilma Tierney ar Al Deem ter, 8725 East Paris Road, Caledonia, is shown removing the tree that fell in the family’s picnic area.

A short business meeting included the election of two new board members to replace Ron Brink and Jack Winger. Howard Keizer and Jerry Travis were elected. A financial report and other sta­ tistics and recommendations were ex­ plained by the manager, Paul Ribbens. A short program featuring pictures of events leading up to the inauguration of President Reagan were presented by Mr. and Mrs. Ralph Systema. Paul Ribbens is optimistic about the future of American agriculture. “Sales have been up in every category, except heating oil,” he says. “Those sales are down because some of our customers have changed over to gas. But over all, saleshave been very good. But I want to express a word of caution. Some people are going too deeply into debt. And with interest rates as they are people just cannot handle that.” "But American agriculture will definitely survive. We need better management, and a willingness to do without ; but well always have American agriculture.” by Eric Reed (McFall 5th grade) We like to break dishes and fisht with the squirrels. We like to pull pig tails, when they are on girls. We like to eat candy and junk food too, But we don t like to mow the lawn, rake the leaves for you.

Under harsh conditions of the frontier, potatoes made a major contribution in keeping the pioneers healthy. Bronson was continually a part of that harsh frontier. Like Johnny Apple­ seed (whose real name was John Chap­ man). he felt more comfortable on the fringes of civilization rather than in the midst of it. He arrived in Michigan from Ohio in 1823. working for a time at a sawmill in Oakland. Co., then the next year started growing potatoes in the Ann Arbor area. He kept fanning and trading for new land around there the next five years. Like Chapman, he had Yankee roots. Both were descended from old New Eng­ land families that went back almost to the Mayflower. Chapman was bom in Massachusetts Sept. 26. 1774. Bronson in Connecticut Nov. 27 1788. Both were lean and lanky and loved books. One time, after a traveling preacher left some reading material with his daughter.

In 1831 he and his wife's brother recorded plats for a new “Village of Bronson there. That year it was chosen to be the county seat for Kalamazoo County, and Bronson donated the land for the court house, the jail, an academy, the common schools, the cemetery and four churches. He served for a time there as a justice of the peace. Unfortunately he didn't keep very good records and one time was criticized for the messiness of his justice docket. At that he grabbed the papers and pitched them into a roaring fire in a stove, exclaiming. ‘Well, well, if I can t keep a docket I can raise potatoes.! ' The town he founded flourished, but other interests didn t like the name and in 1836 succeeded h changing it from Bronson to Kalamazoo. According to one contemporary , the change caused Bronson some hurt. He wrote that the new name “robbed the old pioneer of the prestige of his first settlement, and sent the ‘iron deep into his soul'.” But Bronson was more of a frontiers­ man and potato grower than an urban de veloper anyway, and by 1836 he said ‘ I shall have to go further west, where there is more room.” He moved his family to northern Illinois and thence to Iowa He made a return trip to his Connecticut hometown in 1852 and took sick and died there in January, 1853. His tomb­ stone reads. “A western pioneer, returned to sleep with his fathers He spent about a dozen years in Michigan, all of them prior to the era of statehood, which began in 1837. But like Johnny Appleseed he left an agricultural legacy behind him. Another pioneer once praised him for his efforts in making potatoes a regular part of the frontier scene, citing the statement of Scottish essayist Thomas Carlyle. * A man who produces a potato for his fellow man is a greater benefactor to his race than the man who produces a gold dollar, for the potato is of the most value to mankind.” TrwS.ofi WATER CONDITIONERS SOFT WATER FOR SALE OR RENT TEBBA-SEA 9790 Cherry Valley 891-9233 / TOLD YOU NOT TO SET IT WHEN THE TRAVEL & AWENTURE SERIES WAS SHOWING!

The game was not as close as the score indicates, as the Trojans racked up 340 offensive yards. Middleville did all of their scoring in the second quarter. The first TD came on a two-yard run by Scott Kaminski to cap off a 60-yard drive. Later quarterback Chris Wingeier found Rob Pickard on a 38-yard pass for another six pointer. Neither extra point could be scored. Quarterback Wingeier didn’t let the rain stop him, completing 14 of 20 passes for 201 yards. Tim Heffner caught seven of these for 72 yards.

Gametime is 11:00 a.m. �Caledonia Falls to Eagles In Defensive Struggle The Fighting Scots of Caledonia again came up on the short end of a defensive struggle which resulted in a 6-0 victory for the Eagles. The Eagles of Hudsonville scored a touchdown on an eleven yard run by Dennis Jonker in the second period, and this accounted for all of the scoring that was to take place. Although Hudsonville amassed 331 yards in total offense, the only time they threatened to score, they did on the run by Jonker. Caledonia’s punter, Rob Koehl, kept the Eagles pinned down in their own terri­ tory most of the evening. Two of Koehl’s punts were covered by the Fighting Scots on the Eagle 2 yard line. Caledonia managed to get inside Hudsonville's twenty Eagles Shut Out Junior Varsity Last Thursday the Caledonia JV Foot­ ball team’s record slipped to 1-3 (1-2 in conference) as they lost to the undefeated Hudsonville Eagles 20-0.

The Scots will play Byron Center this Thursday at home, looking to even out their conference record. yard line only once, and that play was nul­ lified by a holding penalty. Late in the game Caledonia threatened with a first and ten on the Eagle 30 yard line, but four passes in a row failed and the game ended in a heartbreaking loss for the Fighting Scots.

Collins, 459 �The Sun and News, Middleville, Michigan / October 8,1981 /Page 13 Prepare Your Furnace Now for the Winter Ahead As brisk fall days herald the approach of winter, the wise resident who controls his or her own heating system should get a head start on fuel economy by pre­ paring the home furnace for heavy duty ahead. “The Better Business Bureau sug­ gests conducting a thorough furnace checkup before the first cold spell hits,’* said R.E. Giller, Manager A furnace checkup can be a do-it-your­ self project, but having the heating system checked by reliable technicians at the beginning of the heating season is a good investment. In either case, be sure the following steps are taken: turn on the furnace well in advance of anticipated need, so that any trouble can be detected and corrected in a leisurly manner that allows time for thoughtful selection of a competent repair company. check the air filters through which recirculated house air passes, and clean or replace them if they are loaded with dust or lint. Establish a schedule - every 30 days, for example - for washing permanent filters or replacing disposable ones. — if the blower motor is of the type requiring ailing, put a few drops of oil in the oil cup at each end of the motor at the beginning of the season; re-oil in January or February. With a hot water heating system, it is necessary to oil the motor on the circulating pump, located at the back of the heating boiler. On gas or oil furnaces, examine the venting pipe (flue) to make sure it is in good condition and firmly in place. Rust spots on the pipe or rust streaks running down from the chimney indicate that the chimney may be plugged up. Old chimneys are susceptible to blockage by deteriorated mortar falling off the sides and filling the flue opening. These fragments must be removed by loosening the pipe and reaching into the opening. The burning of fuel often produces ashes that interfere with good heat trans­ fer. Further, burning fuel efficiently re­ quires a specific quantity of air for opti­ mal combustion. For these reasons it is wise to have the heat exchange surfaces of the furnace cleaned periodically, and to have the air combustion rate checked or improved by service profes­ sionals. Oil burners, for example, work best if the air in the flue contains at least 9 percent carbon dioxide. A technician usually can tune up or adjust the burner to achieve better combustion rates that result in more efficient and less costly fuel consumption. Government studies have shown that many furnaces and boilers are oversized for the heating requirements of the houses they serve. A competent service techni­ cian. through a series of measurements and calculations, can make the furnace more energy efficient by reducing the fuel intake and modifying air-handling parts. Having the service technician check and reset, if necessary. the on and off temperature settings on the furnace fan can conserve significant amounts of fuel. The fan should shut off when the fur­ nace temperature is about 90° and should not go on again until the burner comes on and raises the furnace tempera­ ture to about 110° f. The BBB warns that fall is the prime time for bogus furnace repairs. Beware of itinerants who canvass neighborhoods saying they are furnace inspectors. Some­ one unwise enough to let such people examine his or her furnace is likely to be told that it has a crack o« other serious deficiency and is extremely dangerous. Often the scheme involves an accomplice, posing as a safety engineer, who recom­ mends installation of a new furnace at once. Always check the reliability of heating repair companies by contacting the Better Business Bureau of Western michigan before signing a contract, paying out money, or allowing the present fur­ nace to be dismantled. If there is doubt, get another estimate or second opinion. Don’t be “flimflammed” into a major furnace job. New 1981-82 Phone Directories Out Michigan Bell’s 1981-82 Hastings area telephone directories currently being distributed to area customers are bigger and more colorful than ever before. Richard L. Strauss, local Michigan Bell manager, said this year’s phone books have been converted from their former 6x9 inch page size to a new 7x 11 inch format. “By converting our smaller books to this larger format, we are able to standard­ ize many of our graphics and advertising procedures and reduce paper consumption as well.” Strauss explained. This year’s phone books are more colorful with the addition of bright red to Yellow Pages advertisments. Twocolor ads have been introduced in about one halt ol Michigan Bell s directories statewide and they have been favorably received by both advertisers and con­ sumers, Strauss noted. Full page advertisements are another new addition to this year’s Yellow Pages. The larger ads “enable advertisers to pro­ vide more information to consumers.' Large boldface business listing give the white pages a new look this year. Available as an option, the boldface ads allow businesses to put extra emphasis on their listings and also help customers to find numbers more easily. The customer guide pages in the front of the directories contain information de­ signed to help customers save time and money, including tips on dialing long dis­ tance calls direct and taking advantage of discount periodsand toll-free numbers. The customer guide pages also include a section explaining the new heavy-use Directory Assistance charging plan which went into effect in July. Scattered throughout the Yellow Pages are numerous consumer tips such as how to reduce home heating costs and how to determine shopping bargains, he said.

Next week - Psychosis The names of different mental or emo­ tional illnesses are simply the ‘labels' we give them and should not cause fear. These days most people do recover, or, at least can be helped. A Neurosis may be relatively mild, though it may also be emotionally painful, wearing, and to some degree disabling. Neurotic people may be very anxious most of the time, or fear heights, or closed in places or crowds. It may be that they can only do things in a certain way. in other words, they are not flexible. They may suffer from extreme fatigue without any obvious physical cause. A Personality Disorder is generally a life long pattern often evident from adolescence or earlier. It may show itself by a lack of good judgment, or relation­ ships with others may be poor. In an effort to solve their problems, people with these disorders may keep relating TK Menus ELEMENTARY Monday: Ravioli Tuesday: Hot dogs Wednesday: Cheeseburgers Thursday: P izza Casserole Friday: Fishwiches MIDDLE L HIGH SCHOOL Monday: Bar-B-Ques Tuesday: Pizza Wednesday: Italian Spaghetti Thursday: Ham ’n Cheese/ Pork n Beans Friday: Oven baked chicken, potatoes, gravy.

The Fighting Scots narrowly escaped the home of the Byron Center Bulldogs with a victory last Friday evening. Things started poorly for the Scots and got steadily worse throughout the game. The only bright spots for the Fighting Scots were the defense and the power running of Rob Koehl who ended the game with 98 yards in 28 carries. Caledonia's defense kept the Bulldogs in the middle of the field all evening long, until the last few minutes of the game. Byron Center recovered a Caledonia fumble on the Fighting Scot 10 yard line and after three plays they had a fourth down and less than 1 yard to go. On the fourth down play. Byron Center fumbled. The Fighting Scots then ran out the clock to get to the overtime period. Byron Center won the flip and chose offense. After three plays the Bulldogs were at the six yard line and tried a field goal which failed. Caledonia needed only two downs to score in the overtime period as Rob Koehl carried for 8 yards on first down, then scored the game’s only touchdown on the next play. Playing excellent defensive games for Caledonia were Todd Colvin, Fred Zylstra and Rusty Crumback. This week is homecoming at Caledonia and looking at scores throughout last week’s games, it is not an advantage to be playing in your own homecoming. The Comstock Park Panthers, fress off a one­ sided victory over Lee will invate the home of the Fighting Scots for this annual event Junior Varsity Downs Bulldogs by Paul Stuefen Last Thursday evening the Caledonia JV football team looked their best against the Byron Center Bulldogs as they shut them out on their home field. 28-0. In the opening quarter freshman Scott Schafsma bolted 9 yards into the endzone for the first Scot touchdown. The rest of the first half was scoreless. But the Scots continued to look impressive, rolling up 133 yards total offense. The second half was a big one, and the Scots wasted no time in putting the ball in the endzone. This time Eric Haglund took it over from six yards out. Haglund has led the Scots in rushing all year and he ended the game with 7 carries for 32 yards, to up his season total to 232 yards on 46 tries for a solid 5 yard average. He has also scored two touchdowns. The third Caledonia score was set up by a fumble recovery on an attempted punt by freshman Doug Northouse. This time it was Ryan Flynn taking it over from one yard out. Flynn was the game’s leading rusher as he piled up 89 yards in 14 attempts. He also ran for an extra point. The last score came in the fourth quarter. Again it was Northouse who set it up. This time he blocked a Byron Center punt and recovered it himself at the BC 38 yard line. The score came on an 8 yard sprint from Scott Packer. After the game Northouse said of his spectacu­ lar special team's play. “I’m just glad it set up the touchdowns.’’ The Scots played their best ever as they ended the evening with 224 yards total offense. 211 rushing. Also playing a fine game for the Scots was sophomore quarterback Mike Crum­ back. Although he didn’t complete any passes, he helped a lot with his running. He picked up a 29 yards on 6 tries, most of it coming on important third down plays, and he had one extra point. This Thursday the JVswill travel to Comstock Park to play the Panthers.

Today’s world is one of fear. We have to lock ourselves in our houses to protect ourselves and our belongings from the outside, greedy world. We’re afraid to help a stranded motorist, afraid to carry money, afraid to go out at night. All these fears have real meaning as we read of the many acts of crime and vio­ lence in our newspapers. But these things don’t happen in our quiet community. Or do they? I cannot leave my house unlocked for an hour without having some neighbor­ hood kid come in and make himself at CLAY HILLS with WRETHA McNEE Mr. and Mrs. Leo Church called on Ida Skinner Sunday afternoon. Bea and Harold Cutler attended Eastern Star Installation at Lake Odessa Saturday evening.

Thursday Jeanette went with her class to the Fruit Basket, then to Bill Knapp’s for lunch. June and I went with Fem to spend the day with my sister-in-law, Anna Gibbs, in Kalamazoo Wednesday.

Parmalee Ladies Aid held a potluck dinner Thursday at noon. Barbara and her grandson and Pam called on her parents Saturday. home, and take the few dollars he can find. Someone tore apart the decorations my children had set up in the front yard. Last night someone stole our pumpkins. Parents - do you really know where your teenage children are at nigjit? If its stupid vandalism today, will it be some­ thing more serious tomorrow? A Middleville Resident To the Editor : As a scheduling consultant, the person responsible for coordinating the arrival and discharge of our school buses must be near genius. Anyone that can keep all those buses running between our three schools and not wind up with all of them discharging, all at once, at one school, is to be highly commended. I am equally sure that the safety record of the drivers, as a whole, is as good as any in the state. There are always exceptions to the rule and I would like to address my comments to these few exceptions. I drive my wife’s day care center kids to their respective schools every morning, and so have the opportunity to be part of this orderly confusion. 1. It’s a state law that a bus discharging children may not be passed. While it may not be a law for a private vehicle, why do some of our bus drivers persist in passing me while I’m discharging my kids. My kids are just as liable to run out in front of them as theirs are me. 2. While some things can be overlooked for the sake of a time schedule, don’t the drivers realize that the area between schools is a 25 mph limit, not 45. The speed limit on M-37 in the village is 35 mph, not 50+. I’m sure our loci police department would be glad to give me a ticket if I drove this fast. Are school bus drivers given immunity to this law? 3. A few drivers don’t seem to realize that those buses are 45 to 50 feet long and don’t bend in the middle. I have seen more near hits than I care to count in­ volving the back ends of buses. One driver is called “Crash Crably” or some such name by the kids because of three acci­ dents in one year. There is a telephone pole at the approach to the west building whose days are numbered. The stop sign won’t be far behind. My question is: are the drivers in­ structed on how to drive and operate AUCTION SALE Thursday, October 22, 1981 5:00 P.M. TODAY!!

Kelloggsville looked as thought would capture the momentum early, scoring on a 47-yard break-away sprint in the first quarter.

Spence DUAL MEET STANDINGS Caledonia Lee Comstock Park Hamilton Middleville 4 3 2 1 0 0 1 2 3 4 Beat Hamilton, 36-27 The TK 8th grade girls posted their fourth victory of the year at Hamilton on October 12 with a 36-27 score. The Tro­ jans started slow but got on the track and the game was decided by halftime. The Trojans had leads of 14-8 first quarter, and 24-11 at half. The Trojans did get in some foul trouble but the substitutes came through and took up the slack. The Trojan bench played .well during most of the second half until late in the fourth quarter when Hamilton put on a late surge, but it was much too late. Leading the Trojan scoring was Kris Timm and Karen Gray each with 13 points, Monique Weesie 4 and Brenda Page. Sandy Egleston and Taleese Yonkers with 2 points each. Delton Hands TK First Defeat The 8th Grade girls basketball team suffered their first defeat of the year to an undefeated Delton Team, 34-26, at Delton last tutsday. The game was close all through the fust half with the Trojans holding a slim 15-14 first quarter lead and a 21-18 halftime lead. The Trojans then went cold and were unable to sink key baskets. The Trojans kept in the game on hustle and good rebounding, along with a lot of desire. As the fourth quarter began the Trojans were still unable to shake their cold shooting, and it eventually caught up to them as Delton took the lead midway through the fourth period and held on for the 34-26 win. The Trojans played hard and showed their class as a team in the lose. Their record now stands al 4-1. Leading the Trojan Scoring was Kris Timm with 9 points. Brenda Page and Karman Gray had 8 each and Monique Weesie had one. Girl's Tennis END SEASON WITH WIN The TK Giris Tennis team finished the the regular season on a winning note by defeating Rogers High School.

Tiemeyer Many local people were among the farmers from five counties who sponsored the Michigan Farm Fair at the Woodland Mall on October 22-24. Farm equipment, animals and farm pro­ duce were on display. Colorful descriptive posters and a ‘hands on’ approach pro­ vided the opportunity for hundreds of people to become better acquainted with Michigan agriculture. “We have to do this,” says Amy Finkbeiner of 7028 100th Street, while giving a guided tour. “We want to educate the consumer to the personal involvement it takes to be a fanner. We want them to know that good basic nutrition is avail­ able in this farm produce. This Farm Fair is also to give the farmer a good image.” Tart, red apples were sliced, ready to be enjoyed. Pure maple sugar products tasted. People stood in line waiting to sample blueberry pancakes, ice cream and yogurt. “If it’s not good, it’s not the farmer’s fault,” says Melva Oersh of Alto. ‘The processor has a lot to do with it before it reaches the market .” “We want the public to know that farmers are consumers too,” says Finkbeiner. “We eat what we produce. But that sometimes causes a problem for city folk. They wonder how a farmer can raise a steer, and then slaughter it to eat.” TO PICKUP CANS & BOTTLES WANTED! All returnable bottles and cans to aid the TK Booster fund drive. The Boosters will be going door to door this Saturday morning (October 31) in all areas in the school district. If you have returnable bottles and cans, your donation of them to the Boosters will be helping the TK kids' extra curricular programs. Please be generous!

A positive image was projected by the cheerful atmosphere and the happy indi­ viduals working the displays. The prob­ lems of weather, inflation and high interest rates were found only by asking. But the problem of dairy substitutes was evident. At the dairy display a large work shoe noticeably worn silently gave the message on an attached poster “Stomp on Imitations.” “No quick way for a T-bone steak,” was the message brought by Charlene Thompson of Freeport. “It takes 39 months.” “Many people say‘we should eat only grass fed animals. Tney object to the gram. We explain that generally steers are fed only 3 to 5 months.” Then, showing all the different feeds silage, hay. etc. which are fed to animals, she explains, “Only by feeding this to animals can it be made into food for human consump­ tion.” Each day of the Farm Fair four bags of groceries were given away. Also, one toy International Harvester Tractor and wagon set became the prized possession of a lucky youngster. But with the Farm Fair past, the free recipes will continue to delight hundreds of homemakers who try them We’re pleased to pass some of them along to the readers of the Sun and News: A pie recipe (found on page 16) was prepared and served at the reception in honor of President Ford this past month, it is delicious' Quito Cruttenden of Hastings and Ethel Gibson of Middleville served ice cream and yogurt from this booth at the Woodland Mall Farm Fair On Thursday, November 5, the Caledo­ nia Women’s Club will meet at the home of its president, Mrs. Charles Vaughn with Mrs George Howard as co-host ess Mrs Charles Roetman program chair­ man for the day, will have an attorney present to discuss financial planning with special emphasis on looking into the fu­ ture, taking into account such things as wills and estates.

The driver of any vehicle over­ taking or meeting any school bus which has stopped and is displaying the flashing red lights shall bring the vehicle to a full stop at least 10 feet from the bus and shall not proceed until the school bus re­ sumes motion or the visual signals are no longer actuated. The turning off of the flashing red lights is a signal for traffic to proceed. Mr. Greenman. if you would like to have traffic stop for you, I would suggest that you buy a school bus which meets the standards of a school bus. You would then be able to stop traffic for the safety of your children. There are also some other qualifications that you would have to meet in order to drive a school bus. The State requirements to drive a school bus are: \ a. Certificate - which requires a driver to complete a 16-hour course in school bus safety education, b. Physical I.C.C. c. Chauffeur’s license with a Class 3 endorsement. Class 3 is a special for driv­ ing a bus or school bus. There is an addi­ tional 40-question test. A school bus driver must have a road test given by a Certified State Examiner each time that they renew their license. This road test which consists of a pre-trip of the bus and an on-the-road test consisting of ■ student pick up, railroad crossing upshifting and down shifting; clutch use. The Sun and News, Middleville, Michigan / October 29, 1981 / Page 3 brake use; legal right turns, legal left turns; lane usage; legal turn around; mir­ ror use; backing between two buses which are placed 10’ apart. A driver must be able to angle or parallel park. The distance for parallel parking is the length of bus plus 5 feet. The driver is unsatisfactory and can not drive a bus if during the test a viola­ tion occurs. There are 43 items to check on a bus pre-trip. If 12 items are missed the driver does not pass the test. The driver must stake out the bus with their emergency equipment. A school bus driver can not drive a bus if they have more than 6 points on their chauffeur’s license. Prior to July 17. 1981. all school bus drivers were required to have 6 hours of safety classes each year. The Thornapple Kellogg bus drivers received their 6 hours of safety classes this past summer at Otsego High School, conducted by Wes­ tern Michigan University. These drivers have had 6 hours each year as long as they have been driving. School bus drivers are professional people. There are so many state require­ ments plus all the liability and responsibi­ lity. There is more to the job than the pay that they receive. There is a satisfac tion of working with children and love for their precious cargo. They only have one goal “Safer Ride for the kids.” 2 With reference to the speed that you had listed - it is not easy to get a bus from 25 mph to 45 in a short distance. How were you checking the speed? Why don’t you leave this to the police? I watch these drivers like I had a badge on my arm. They know I watch them. I am ready to report good or bad to the school. I have a lot of respect for the police. They have a tough job and can’t be all places at the same time. Keep up the good work. 3. The statement - drivers don’t seem to realize those buses are 45 to 50’ long. The bus drivers know the length of their bus. Thomapple Kellogg 66 passenger buses are 35’ long and don’t bend in the middle. Those buses don’t have to bend in the middle as these drivers have 6 mirrors on the buses and can handle the situation without further advice. All of the school bus drivers from Thomapple Kellogg schools have chauffeur's license free from any points. The buses have passed the State Po­ lice inspection 100% for the last five years. We should say thank you toall bu| drivers. Mr. Wayne Robinson and Mr Gerald Page. 1 am a consultant for Western Michigan University and have instructed your drivers in many of their safety classes. 1 am aware of their concerns for safety as we always work for a “Safer Ride for the Kids.” I am a certified State Examiner and have road tested these drivers. You have good drivers and you better give them a pat on the back for their good job. They have a lot of liability and responsibility Those kids’ lives are in their hands. Their problems are all in back of them as they have to face that traffic and all the hazards of driving. School buses have proven to be the safest way of transporta­ tion. My question to Mr. Greenman Would you like to take the road test that 1 give to the bus drivers? Olive Finkbeincr Consultant, W.M.U.

Member hDIC LINDER Middleville “hosted” the Caledonia football game recently (a snowy, 30 de­ gree evening, you may recall) and I at­ tended to watch my son (and the Caledo­ nia team) play an exciting ball game. At halftime, many of the fans were extreme­ ly cold, and 1 decided to sit in my car (to try to return feelings to my feet). I went out by myself, as my husband was also on the field as part of the Caledonia coach­ ing staff. At the gate 1 was told I could not leave and no passes were given out. I explained my situation to the two ‘guards’ and their comment was - “you’ll pay!” 1 went to the car, warmed up, and as I came back after halftime, the ‘guards were watching for me (naturally!). I again said I was a visiting parent and would like to return to the game, but was forcibly kept out and a policeman was summoned (maybe three of them could keep me from bursting thru the gates - after all, I am well into middle age and weigh under 120 pounds. Quite a threat!) I suggested that, under the circumstan­ ces, the athletic director be summoned to discuss the matter. I was “detained” by the ‘gate goons’ and police, and soon the athletic director rushed forward, obviously in no mood for discussion. I was immediately told in a voice that everyone around could hear that “madame, no one comes back in, and if you want to see this game you’ll have to go out and buy another ticket!” (Which I did, and couldn’t have been happier with the results of the game!) Thank you, Middleville, for your ‘cordial’ hosting of the visiting parents! At least your football players had the courtesy to shake hands after the game. Perhaps the athletic director and gate keepers should review the meaning of the words “host,” “visitors” and “cor­ diality,” and the athletic boosters should review the reasons behind the offensive gate policy.

Veriinde Everything (ooked good for the Tro­ jans when they took possession of the ball with a couple of minutes left in the game, but the Scotties spoiled it when they recovered a TK fumble and passed 38 yards for the game’s concluding touch­ down. Caledonia missed the conversion but held the Trojans to come away with a 14-12 victory Middleville led in total offensive yard­ age with 189 yards to Caledonia’s 115. Clyde Lewis was the game’s leading rusher with 74 yards, followed by Scot back Rob Koehl with 41. Ice. snow, mud and low temperatures didn't stop the quarterbacks from combining for nine completions in 21 throws. Paul Stuefen of Caledonia caught two for 45 yards while Trojan Tim Lucas caught two for 28 yards. Tomorrow Middleville travels to Com­ stock Park while Caledonia heads west to Hamilton. For the second straight week, the TK Varsity football team won the battle of the statistics, but came up short on the scoreboard. The Trojans handed neighbor Caledonia the yearly bragging rights in a 14-12 mud wrestling contest last Friday. Middleville struck first on a three-yard scamper by Clyde Lewis in the fust quar­ ter, but the Trojans continued their streak of bad luck in the conversion de­ partment and the score stood 6-0. The Scots returned the favor in the following quarter when Doug Wilson passed for a 17-yard TD reception to Mike Mitchell. Caledonia, however, had better luck with their conversion attempt, taking the lead 8-6 on the quarterback run by Wilson. The Trojans recaptured the lead in the third quarter on a ten-yard desperation pass to Tim Lucas. The attempt at the two-pointer failed (again!), but Middle­ ville was happy to be ahead 12-8. Junior Varsity Routs Scots, 30-6 MIDDLEVILLE SPORTS Vandenberg, Irwin Qualify For State C.C. Final Run The Trojan Cross Country team will send two members to the State finals at Watervliet this Saturday. Bob Vandenberg and Sandy Irwin both qualified by virtue of their fine performance at the Regionals held at Glenn Oaks Community College, located near Centreville. Bob finished first with a 19:03 clocking over the 5,000 meter course and Sandy finished 11 th in the girls run. Sandy finished with a time of 22:13. The boys team finished 12 out of 15 schools at Glenn Oaks. Regie Raab was 27th, Paul French 66th, Larry Barton 72nd and Brian Lewis was 95th. There was a total of 97 runners. Earlier in the week, VandenbeYg finished first in the conference meet. He was awarded a first team position on the OK Blue All Conference team. Bob estab­ lished a new Douglas Walker course record, in dual meet with Lee. The undefeated champ was timed in at 15:22.3. Regie Raab was given an honorable mention award for his fine performance and his conference meet finish of 18th place. He had a seasonal best time of 17:10 in a dual meet with Hamilton. Paul French finished 25th in the con­ ference meet and ran a best time of 18:25 against Hamilton. Larry' Barton had his best time of 19:05 in the Hamilton dual, and Brian Lewis ran his best time of 19:42 in the conference meet. Sandy Irwin finished 4th in the girls conference run. She was timed in 21:17. She was a consistent performer all year and recorded her best time earlier in the year. Sandy was timed October 15 in a time of 21:08. Amy Steeby failed to finish her run in conference meet due to a leg injury. She had an excellent run of 21 38 in an earlier meet. Sally Veach ran her personal best time of 24:19 on October 15.

Veriinde The Middleville JV football team com­ bined a balanced offensive attack with a sky-high defensive performance last Thurs­ day, socking it to the Scots of Caledonia 30-6. The Trojans established their domi­ nance on the opening Kickoff when Tim Heffner ran the ball back 83 yards to the one yard line. Chris Wingeier followed with a quarterback sneak for six points. The conversion attempt failed as Middle­ ville took a 6-0 lead. The Trojans scored again in the second quarter when Randy Winchester, in his de­ but as end, caught a 35-yard TD pass. The two-pointer succeeded, allowing Middle­ ville to carry a 14-0 lead onto the field to start the second half. Freshman power increased the TK lead when Steve Rosenberg, the freshman re­ placement for injured Scott Kaminski, scored on a 28-yard sprint in the third stanza. The two point conversion upped the score to 22-0. Monty Sanford capped off the Trojan qravs ft* ■■ PAGE Comments from TK's Head Coach RAY PAGE This was another week where we managed to grab defeat from the jaws of victory. We did some things real well, but always managed to mess up in some way. The weather certainly was not too nice but I think it hurt Caledonia more than it did us. They fumbled 5 times and lost 3, while we only fumbled once and we re­ covered that fumble. The big debate I was having with the officials in the first half dealt with the formation that Caledo­ nia was using. We felt that they were lin­ ing up with 5 men in the backfield. The official asked Caledonia which of their players was a back and which one an end. Something 1 found even harder to under­ stand. Like last week, we seem to do well in all the stations except the score and extra points. We controlled the ball but not the score. This was the most snow I’ve seen on this field during a game, in fact it was the most snow I’ve seen in about 15 years during one of our games The only good thing about the weekend was the fact the freshmen and J V's both won. Both of these teams have really been improving despite the loss of several players to in­ juries. They will both be home this week. The freshmen play Lowell and the TV's play Comstock Park. No one can call our supportive fans fair weather fans, with the turnout we had at the game. It seems like to add to our trouble this fall, the weather has been lousy. Let’s home for a good night in all ways at Comstock Park next week. See you there! tallies in the final quarter on a one-yard trot over the goaliine. Middleville com­ pleted another two-pointer to leave the sc^re 30-0 Caledonia scored in the closing minutes to prevent the shutout making the final score 30-6. The Trojan offensive front consisting of Evan Miller, Paul Ordway. Mitch Mugridge, Nathan Briggs and Jeff Wohl ford provided valuable protection for Chris Wingeier and his backfield. Wingeier completed seven of 11 passes for 147 yards while Steve Rosenberg rushed for 75 yards. Adam Wegner and Scott Duflo com­ bined for three interceptions in a fine Trojan defensive performance. Tim Heffner deserves credit as Middleville’s most valuable player this week. Playing on offense and defense, Heffner came up with a 38 yard recep­ tion, an interception, and the previously mentioned kickoff return. Tim also serves as the place kicker and punter. Tonight the JV Trojans host the Panthers from Comstock Park. Boy's Golf Compete in State Finals The 1981 OK Blue Champion Middle­ ville Trojans competed in the State Class C golf finals at the Milham Park Golf Club on Saturday, October 24. Middleville qualified for the State Tournament by finishing second the week before in the regionals. Although the Trojans shot a 374 and finished in 16th place out of twenty-one teams, they made a good, solid effort and enjoyed the experience. Freshman Rolfe Timmerman shot Middleville’s best score, a 91, on a cold, windy day. Jeff Chapman had a 92, Bill Cisler 94 and Del Buxton a 97. Tom Will also represented Middleville. Saginaw' St. Joseph won the tournament with a 329 score. Detroit County Day had a 332 for second and Central Mont­ calm had a 341 for third place. Steve John of Detroit Country Day had a 76 for medalist honors. Coach Bernie Weller commented: “This has been a most enjoyable year for me. The kids did a super job all year and were mentally tough when they had to be. Our disappointing showing in the State finals is in no way that much of a disappoint­ ment because just qualifying to go to State is a tremendous accomplishment. To win the conference championship and finish second in the regionals far surpassed my expectations at the beginning of the year. The amazing thing about the season is that in 54 holes, using the four top scores. Middleville outscored Caledonia 104 ' to 1043 shots, and yet Middleville finished as league champs, while Caledo­ nia finished third and TK went to the regionals. while Caledonia missed going by one shot. All in Ml, it has been very ex­ citing.” The banquet to honor the golfers will be held at the Sveden House in Grand Rapids on November 20. Players and their families and guests are invited. Girl's Basketball LOSE TO CALEDONIA by Bill Schwartz The Girls Varsity basketball team had a difficult time with Caledonia Tuesday, losing 56-36. Shooting only 26% from the field, the Trojans had a difficult time putting in points. At halftime the girls found themselves 24 points down with a score of 11- 35. During the second half, Middleville gained a little of their compo­ sure back, only to find that time was against them. Leading scorers were Marcis Smith with 17 points and Jane Bryans with 8. DEFEAT PANTHERS IN O.T On.Thursday the Trojans defeated Comstock Park in overtime with a score of 44-38. Kim DeVrou lead the team with 13 points, followed by Julie Hooper and Jane Bryans with 8 apiece. DeVrou also lead the team in rebound­ ing with 12, followed by Mary Funk, Hooper and Bryans with 5 bounds each. OVERWHELM ROCKETS The JV Girls Basketball team over­ whelmed Kelloggsville by a 61-21 score. The Trojans started the game with a first quarter score of 15-1. Three Trojans were in double digit scoring. Laurie Hooper had an impressive night by scoring 22 points, Patty Fifelski and Jeanna VanderMeulen each scored 13 and 11 points respectively. FALL TO UNBEATEN C P. On Thursday night, the JV Trojans fell to the hands of Comstock Park 18-45. Comstock Park has a very good team which is still unbeaten in the OK Blue conference.

Leading the Trojan Scoring was Brenda Page with 10 points. Karman Gray 8. Kris Timm 6 and Kathy Schleh 4. DOMINATE CALEDONIA The TK 8th Grade Giris defeated Cale­ donia last week 43-13 to improve their record to 5-1. The game was never in question as the young Trojans took control of the game from the start and jumped to a 16-4 first quarter lead. The Trojans began substitut­ ing and the starters did not see much more playing time. The halftime lead stood at 25-8.

Karen was selected by her coach as the most improved player. Sandy and Karen work well together as a team, and if we can keep them together next year, they should be one of the strongest teams in the league, if not the strongest. Second doubles, Kristy Miner, a freshman and Ohnalee Bloem, a first year junior finished third in the conference match. Both showed a lot of improvement during the season and should have a fine season next year. Third doubles. Sara Schondelmayer. held this spot down all year. Sara is a strong and quick player. We have high hopes for this freshman. Kathy Miner teamed with Sara in the conference match to take the R.U. spot. Kathy is another freshman that will develop into a fine player. First year junior, Chris Perry, started at third doubles much of the year. Chris has shown a great deal of improvement in consistency of ground sti okes and volleys. More improvement for her next year should produce a fine season for her. Two other freshmen, Ginger Cook and Julie Bussema, did not start at the varsity level, but did play exhibition matches. Both players continue to improve and hope to take a spot away from one of the starters next year. Girls tennis teams have won four straight conference championships. This year’s team was very young and inexperienced. Our main goal was to learn, improve and win as many matches as we could, so that we could challenge for the top spot next year. Any time players enter a rebuilding season, finish third overall and second in the conference match, they have done their jobs very well.

I own my fantasies, my dreams, my hopes, my fears. Because I own all of me. I can become intimately acquainted with me. By so doing I can love me and be friendly with me and all my parts. I can then make it possible for all of me to work in my best interests. I know there are aspects about myself that puzzle me, and other aspects that I do not know. But as long as I am friendly and loving to myself. I can courageously and hopefully look for the solutions to the puzzles and for ways to find out more about me.

When I review later how I looked and sounded, what I said and did. and how I thought and felt, some parts may turn out to be unfitting. I can discard that which is unfitting and keep that which proved fitting and invent something new for that which I discarded. I can see. hear, feel, think, say and do.

The weather didn’t cooperate very well, but the band did a great job as usual. The field was so muddy that several of the band members lost their shoes for a few minutes and some of the horns froze up from the cold. Saturday was the Boosters carnival and the Van Rhees, worked at the cake walk. Thanks to all of you who helped and brought cakes. Amy Van Rhee went with Carolyn, Ellen and Jane Jackson to see the musical “Annie” in Kalamazoo on Sunday. They all ate out at the Brown Derby before the play and enjoyed ice cream after. Amy said it was very good and she really had a nice time. Marty and Cindy Wenger spent the week end at Cran Hill Ranch at Big Rapids with the youth group from Peace Reform­ ed Church.

Main, Caledonia - 891-8222 �14 / October 29, 1981 / I he Sun and Newt, Middleville, Michigan AT THE BARRY COUNTY HISTORICAL SOCIETY Old Illustrated Business Letterheads Tell a Story Larry Masse, assistant director of ar­ chives and regional history collections of southwestern Michigan, took members and guests of the Barry County Historical Society through “a museum of American art tastes, fine printing and period archi­ tecture” at the society’s annual October banquet in Middleville. Thousands of business letterheads on correspondence with the Kalamazoo State Hospital from the 1860’s to the 1930's were preserved intact when deposited in the archives. The illustrated letterhead was the primary form of advertising a business until the late 1920’s after which the radio and magazinesVere the vehicle for adver­ tising nationwide Thus in the 1860’s a company’s letterhead often contained a ducts with a slogan. “Jersey Whiskey, Pure as Cream,” “Pop-Com Whiskey, an Ideal Stimulant.” Black smoke arising from the factory chimneys and people coming to and going from the factory, or a new factory build­ ing (so closely drawn the bricks could be counted) proclaimed the success of the product and company on many letterheads. Horses shying away f rom the glue factory were drawn on one letterhead. The American flags flying from the factory or store proclaimed the patriotism of the company, a popular letterhead theme of the 198O’s. Previously in the Civil War. the patriotic letterheads showed a change of mood, from flags in 1861-62 to a bitter mood in 1864-65 with the “rebel” flag being trampled on or a slogan “Death to Traitors.” Scantily clad women appeared on letterheads, but only under the guise of their being goddesses or fairies, as in the White Rock water illustration. Portraits of the business owner, to demonstrate his honesty and sincerity, were often on the letterheads; sometimes his children’s, but rarely his wife’s portrait was shown. One owner put an illustration of his mules on his letterhead. Slogans were popular. “Lardy Suspen­ ders. it Holds up the Pants and Stocksing Too.” Another owner's slogan “Business First, Something Else Afterwards,” was a bit cryptic. Eventually the letterhead encompassed the entire page with words and drawings. One told the details of how the company made a mattress. Since there was no space for the letter on the front page, the com­ pany switched the illustrations, colored drawings and advertising words to the re­ verse page and wrote the letter on the face page. The evolution of the simple letter­ head to the grand letterhead was thus completed. Massie appeared as a narrator the following evening on Channel 35's pro­ gram. “Western Michigan Review.” on the history of the Cereal City. He is the author of a book which will be published shortly. “Kalamazoo's Forgotten Indus­ tries.” Massie is a native of Allegan County and makes his residence there. This old letterhead, from the files of the Sun and News, clearly illustrates how businessmen projected a favorable image. Judging from old photographs, we >e not too sure that the F. T. French Mill in Middleville ever looked quite this good! But, it certainly projected to the Mill's customers that it was a prosperous business. drawing of the product, accurate views of the factory or store, the names of the officers, advertising slogans, and descrip­ tions of the product. As the company’s letterheads changed from year to year, the evolution of the products and factories were shown and modern advertising techniques were demonstrated. Massie’s slides and commentary pointed out glimpses of early history otherwise lost. Maps of cities and railroad lines often embellished the letterheads. Companies frequently illustrated their work or product process in their artisans at work, for ex­ ample ; glass blowers, the laying of a port­ able railroad for a mine, timbering in the forest with cross-cut saws, quarry works, plaster mill operations, and the construc­ tion of a courthouse by use of derricks. Schooners, an archaic form of transporta­ tion, were shown at Detroit in the 1860’s on another letterhead. Massie’s prized letterhead showed a birdseye view of Chicago in March, 1871, or a few months before the Great Chicago Fire which destroyed much of Chicago. Subliminal advertising was known to the makers of Dodge cars as shown by rain falling on persons standing outside the car but not in the car itself, parked in a fashionable part of town Photographs do not appear on the let­ terheads until later years. Early drawn illustrations depict products very useful in their time: a butter cutter, a milk cooler, a stone sled used to haul stones out of fields, a sprinkling wagon, a manure spreader, an early telephone booth a cross-cut saw for cutting ice on a lake. “Before and after” advertising demonstrat­ ed the advantages of buying a kitchen flour bm and a metal floor mop wringer. Roach salt and lice paint were advertised on the letterhead.

WILSON Orchard 8900 Alaska Ave . 891 1477. 44 2 REAL ESTATE IN MEMORIAM In loving memory of our beloved wife, mother and grandmother, Lucille Smalley, who passed away one year ago November 3, 1980 Art Smalley Jim Smalley and Family Bob Smalley and Family A FRIEND who stands by When troubles come your soul to try. You love the friend who just stands by. Perhaps there's nothing he can do. The thing is strictly up to you. For there are troubles all your own. And paths the soul must tread alone. Times when love can't smooth the road. Nor friendship lift the heavy load. But just to feel you have a friend Who will stand by until the end. Whose sympathy through all endures. Whose warm handclasp is always yours. It helps somehow to pull you through. Although there's nothing he can do. And so with fervent heart we cry, "God bless the friend who just stands by."
