UI 49058 comp Some Easy-to-Keep Resolutions 1985! Only 15 more years until the year 2000! What is the new year going to hold for you? Just think ... twelve whole months to either look back with a sense of accomplishment, or ... a sense of futility! Most of us will find a little of each, we suppose. But, the potential is there for great things. Why don’t you make a few little resolutions; simple ones that you can keep. Small, but important, like: 1. I resolve to attend at least one local governmental body meeting this year. Find out first hand what your village council, township board or school board is up to. 2.1 resolve to take the family to church on a regular basis this year. Discover the peace of mind you can receive by joining with your neigh- bors at the church of your choice. 3.1 resolve to make an effort to keep myself in­ formed by more than just watching TV news. Read a newspaper or a news magazine to get some depth of the issues. You’ll be a better citizen because of it. 4.1 resolve to be a "doer" rather than just a "follower. ” Find out first hand how much fun and rewarding it can be to get in there and do your share, rather than letting someone else do all the work. There! Four simple little resolutions that maybe you already keep. None of them are hard to follow; all of them will make you a better per­ son. Happy New Year!

The book will be available in religious bookstores in February. The story draws on the author’s background as a small town florist’s daughter. When Carey McIlwain, the herone, takes over her parents’ greenhouse business, she is scared and unsure of herself. She is even more discouraged when Gavin Jack, her rose supplier, demands payment of her overdue account. Gavin is sure Carey will fail as a florist, but after an unscrupulous competitor tries to take over her business, Carey learns how deeply Gavin cares for her. For the Love of Roses will ap­ peal to women of all ages who enjoy romantic fiction geared to the Christian reader. Employed for six years by Lear Siegler/Instrument Division, Donna left her position as a production art is in April of 1984 to pursue a fulltime career in writing.

If you have questions, call Ade Penninga at 891-1182. It’s Time Again to Think About Taxes It’s time to start compiling your receipts in preparation for filing your income tax returns in early 1985. Remember to include information on the property taxes you were billed for, or those paid in 1984 for the home in which you reside and the cost you paid to heat your principal residence from November, 1983 through October 1984. The State of Michigan provides a homestead property tax credit in the form of money back to persons who qualify and pay more than 3.5 percent of their total household income for property taxes up to $1,200. Renters as well as residents of nursing homes and homes for the aged may also be eligible for the credit if 17 percent of their rent is more than 3.5 percent of their income.

If you filed for a summer tax deferment and are depending upon the money you receive back from the property tax credit to pay your taxes in February, it is important that you file as soon as possible in January. If you have not filed before, you can go back four years (to 1980) and file.

There is no time to lose.” CLIFTON BIRD The cost of heating a home through Michigan's long winter can put a strain on any family budget. In some cases, it proves an impossible one.

We made a short tour around town to see some of the decorations • all very great. Everything is real Christmasy in Florida. Howard and June Colburn of Middleville called Wednesday evening to wish us a safe journey and a happy holiday. Thanks to all who sent us lovely Christmas greetings.

LARRY KOPEN ELECTRIC 5 J COMMERCIAL - RESIDENTIAL 0 New Construction, Remodeling, Service Upgrading and Repairs CUSTOM HOME WIRING 17 Years Experience 891*1156 �NEWS OF YOUR MIDDLEVILLE NEIGHBORS WEST SIDE with NORMA VELDERMAN I___________________ —J Isn’t it funny how hectic pre-Christmas time is, and after it’s all over and done, it seems quite a while back that Christmas even happened. After a couple of days of resting and relaxing, your all gunho! to get things done you’ve been putting off for so long. Hasn’t the weather been unusual! In talking with my sis in D.C., she says her Japonica and forsythia are in bloom and TV said some of the cherry blossoms were blooming. Dorothy Dean said Sunday was so beautiful that she and her family went walking in the woods. Their grandsons noticed the violets blooming, so they came home with a nice bouquet of violets. In December, yet! I hope the weather snaps back to our regular cold or the fruit trees will get spring fever and eventually be killed, let alone the shrubs and trees. I wouldn’t mind having it this nice all winter, but all our crops would be damaged. All of you had a wonderful, family Christmas season, taking in both sides of the families, as well as the individual far-away families by phone. Bobbie and Dick Smith and Amy are having a nice week end. Sons Kevin, Craig and wife Denise are here from Florida. They arrived Saturday and will return Tuesday. Mr. and Mrs. Tripp had an afternoon luncheon with Pat and Jerry Hilty last Wednesday. The Hiltys had a nice quiet Christmas, enjoying daughter Michele who was home for the holidays. They spent the New Years weekend visiting in Tif­ ton, Ohio, their former home. Mrs. Nichols said they had a lovely Christmas, but some members of the family have been miserable with flu. The Jerry Steins had Christmas in Traverse City with his family, and then her family in this area. Luana Tolan said she was busy taking down the Christmas decorations when I called. They celebrated with her family on Christmas eve and with Lynn’s family on Christmas day and also talked with the Tolan parents in Florida.

Then grandma came to spend Christmas Day at Vandals. Len and Mary Ann Vandal atten­ ded his company’s Christmas party the 28th at the Middle Villa. Had a lovely time. The Dave VanElsts had a good family Christmas and are settling back to normal. Dorothy VanOort was out for a drive when I called.

Dorothy and Don Dean had their whole family home for Christmas. Sunday grandchildren Jacob and Hilary Blough are helping to take down the Christmas decorations. The Richard Doornbos’ had 18 for Christmas Saturday. All the children were there and they spent the good weather cutting wood. Letha Reynolds is feeling much better, getting around with her walker. Twila Elwood spent Christmas in Battle Creek at her family get together.

Greta Greiner had her family home for Christmas. Bob and Donna Kenyon spent Christmas eve with niece and husband in Merrill and returned home Christmas day. The Sunday before Christmas Art and Ann Kenyon had the family home with 26 on hand. Mon­ day evening Art and Ann were with Neva and Bill Kenyon and family, and they spent Christmas Day with daughter Char Finkbeiner and family. Art and Ann Kenyon and Dorothy and Ernie Ball are celebrating New Years Eve at the Bill Ranson’s in Hastings. There are only three couples left of the more than seven that used to always get together. lyla Norton spent Christmas in Kalamazoo with her family. Unfortunately, some of her family were ill with the flu, so it was not as nice as it might have been. lyla attended the three-church Christmas Cantata at the United Methodist Church with the Mid­ dleville and Freeport United Methodist and Mid­ dleville Christian Reformed participating. On Christmas Eve she attended candle light service at the Nazarene Church in Comstock, near Kalamazoo, where her grandson Michael is serving. The Kit Roon family spent the Christmas holidays with both of their families. Mrs. Sprenkle said son Steve was home for the holidays and will leave January 6. They also visited with children Chris and Kelly in Hawaii, where they’ve had many days of rain and they are having flooding problems. Daughter Margaret called from Phoenix, Arizona, where she is living. Clare and Pat Tolan and family spent Christmas with Lynn and Luana Tolan and family. Ann Bartlett said they had a nice Christmas at Dan’s sister’s place in Grand Rapids with 21 atten­ ding. Then in the evening when they had just gotten back to Middleville, Dan’s sister in Saranac called saying they were taking Dan and Ann’s daughter Maureen to the hospital as she had broken her arm. So back they went and Maureen will be in a cast six weeks. A week ago Sunday Marian Martin’s son Larry and family came from St. Louis for Christmas. Two of the girls from Mississippi state were there as well as the Dennis Whitneys. Then Marian went back with Larry to his home and returned after Christ­ mas. Doris Brog spent Christmas in Livonia with her niece and family, Mr. and Mrs. Glen Kett. Two great-nieces were also there with their girls.

So they had a nice house full. Clarence and Joanne Barnes had daughter and family from Spring Lake as well as two sons from Hastings and on Christmas Day they went over to Spring Lake for dinner. Joanne says her brother-inlaw in Cleveland is not so good. Gladys Briggs said they celebrated with both sides of the family for Christmas and everyone was there except son Nathan. The Collier family had a very nice Christmas on both sides. Her husband is one of nine children and she is one of six, so you can see it was really a family get together. Sixteen stayed overnight at her mom’s. They had their own Christmas at home Wednesday. Jim and Kathy Oliver and family traveled to Monroe Wednesday to Friday to see his family. Saturday they went to her family in Hillsdale. They are going to East Lansing where they will get together with his sister from New York. Mrs. Koeplinger said they had a very good Christmas and all were home. As many of the Velderman clan as possible were home for Christmas Eve. Then we all visited with the absent ones. They stayed over, some leaving Christmas day and one leaving Wednesday. The religious side of Christmas and the family that’s what Christmas is all about. So I’m thankful for so very much at this time of year.

The Michigan Association of CPAs suggests some financial resolutions that are practical and worth considering. Try one resolution a month. See if you’re not financially better off by the end of the year. 1. Think Big. Too often people dribble their dollars away on inconsequential things, then wonder why there’s nothing left for a vacation or a major expen­ diture, like a personal computer. Set priorities, spend on what’s important, learn to live without trivial items. 2. Plan Ahead. Planning is the key to sound money management. Set goals for next year, for five years, and even further out. Set up a realistic budget to reach these goals. You’ll be surprised how good you feel to find yourself nearing those goals. 3. Keep Records. Set up a simple system or en­ velopes of files so that you have at your fingertips financial information for budgeting, tax planning, investing or securing loans. 4. Find out What You’re Worth. Add up your assets; your house, car, personal possessions. Then total your liabilities: the mortgage, other outstan­ ding debts. Subtract liabilities from assets; the result is your net worth. Revise this personal finan­ cial statement every year. It can help you set goals, get a loan or get started in a business. Start Building a Capital Base. Too often we live from paycheck to paycheck, without building capital. No matter how little you invest, invest something in high-yield accounts. 6. Don’t Give the IRS an Interest-Free Loan. Do you look forward to a hefty refund at tax time? If so, you're not planning properly. Avoid those refunds they actually cost you money. Have less withheld from your paycheck; invest it yourself, rather than TK School Menus Week of January 7,1985 k_______________________ .__________________ / High/Middle School Monday: Smoked turkey w/cheese on bun, green beans, peaches, milk.

CHIROPRACTOR M-W-F 9-12 Noon ;2-7 p.m. PHONE 795-7096 127 East Main Street / Downtown Middleville letting the government use it — and earn interest on it — for a year. 7. Take advantage of All Tax Breaks. Contribute to a tax deductable or tax-deferred account, like an IE A (or a Keogh if you’re self-employed). Educate yourself about deductions you're entitled to whenever you incur expenses for your job, your school, your health — whatever. 8. Don't Play Dumb about Money and Let Your Spouse Do all the Work. A head-in-the-sand attitude is irresponsible and costly. No matter who works, you should both share in the planning and decision making. 9. Don’t Use Credit Cards for Consumables. Credit cards are handy if you pay off the full pur­ chase when the bill is receivd, and when something you want is on sale. Plastic power is good for pur­ chasing assets that increase in value. Always calculate the cost of the interest (figuring in the tax­ deductible percentage) against the probable in­ creased cost of the item if you wait until you have cash. Use credit cards for leverage, not for items that will wear out before you have paid for them. 10. Shop around for Loans. Before you borrow money, compare interest rates and, more importan­ tly, how those rates are calculated. Interest rates can actually cost you more depending upon how it is calculated — as a one time finance charge, or as a periodically compounded rate (as on most credit cards). 11. Review Your Finances at Least Twice a Year. The middle and the end of the year are good times to review your personal financial statement and your budget and cash flow worksheet to see if you are on target. If there are changes in your income, expen­ ses, lifestyle or family size, you’ll need to rework these figures. 12. Don't Worry About Money. If you have con­ trol over your finances, if you know where your money goes and you have realistic goals and a workable budget — there's no need to worry. But, if you need professional advice about personal finan­ ces or taxes, consult your certified public accoun­ tant. Professional help can save money in the long run.

If you have leftovers from a stir-fried dinner, for example, this dish is an excellent way to use them. Of course, you can also defrost and add any fresh-frozen vegetables to the tomato base The longer you let the mixture simmer, the more the flavors will marry Serve the soup as is or put the mixture through a blender to produce a thicker broth. A dash of hot pepper sauce added just before serving will give some zest to the dish. Complete your vegetarian meal by serving the soup with a crisp salad and home­ made bread or com bread. It's a repast guaranteed to help everyone sleep well. warm, and contented! We hope you froze or canned some tomato sauce, too. because so many wonderful Italian dishes call for it. If you didn’t, try making some next summer: Put 10 or 12 peeled and chopped tomatoes, along with some minced garlic and onions (include green peppers if you'd likei. in your slow cooker and simmer this mixture on low heat all day while you re at work. When you get home, take off the lid and turn the pot on high. By bedtime, the liquid should have cooked down to a nice, thick consistency Put the sauce in freezer containers and freeze it. Then you'll have this tasty filling available for lasagna, spaghetti sauce, meat loaf, tomato soup, pizza, casseroles, and any number of other healthful dishes. You can use tomatoes and sauce in this recipe for stomach-warming chili. You 11 need 1 pint of sauce. 1 pound of dried beans. 1 quart of cold water. 1 quart of canned tomatoes, salt, a pinch of red pepper, a touch of chili powder. 1 large chopped onion. 1 crushed clove of garlic, and 2 pounds of ground beef. Soak the beans in the water over­ night. The following day add the tomatoes, sauce, salt, and spices. Fry the onion and garlic until they're limp, add the ground beef, brown it. and combine the meat and bean mixtures. Simmer the chili until the beans are soft and the liquid thickens. Don't forget to try such tomato-based favorites as beef stew or chicken cacciatore. either. And the following recipe for delicious Spanish rice is yet another great way to make use of your sauce. Take 1 pound of ground beef. 12 cup of chopped onion. 13 cup of chopped green pepper. 1 large clove of minced garlic. 1-1/3 cups of tomato sauce. 1 cup of water. 12 cup of quick-cooking rice (uncooked), 1/2 teaspoon of salt. 2 teaspoons of W'orchestershire sauce, and a dash of pepper. In a skillet, cook the beef, onion, green pepper, and garlic until tender, then pour off the fat. Add the remaining ingredients and bring the mixture to a boil. Cover the pan and cook over low heat for at least 15 minutes, or until the rice is tender. Next time you have a round steak handy, you might like to try this Swiss steak recipe. Brown the steak, surround it with cut-up potatoes, and slice a large onion over all this. Sprinkle the meat and vegetables with salt and pepper, pour on a pint of tomato sauce, and bake the hearty dish in a medium oven until the potatoes are done.

Even that would have been alright had the various House and Senate committees been holding hearings and preparing legislation for floor action. But those four months were devoted to re-election campaigns and little else. When the legislature finally re-convened in November, committee meetings were hurriedly scheduled. Chairpersons were pressured by lawmakers and lobbyists to throw unfinished business on their agendas. Four or five proposed laws would be placed on a morning’s committee calendar and public testimony and a vote on each measure would be completed within a couple of hours. Since many lawmakers are assigned to four committees, we often shuttled between committee rooms - trying to catch bits and pieces of discussions necessary to make a judgment. The result of this last-minute rush of committee meetings was a December logjam of bills on the House and Senate calendars. Dozens and dozens of votes were cast in the two Houses with little available information and even less debate. In the last week of session, representatives were forced to vote on a number of House bills that had been amended by the Senate — without even having the altered bills on our desks to read. To be sure, some major issues will only be resolved when the end-of-season negotiating deadline forces necessary compromising. But many less controversial, yet still important, bills should . . . and fall. Other than a couple of uneventful not be subjected to such a haphazard, sloppy weeks in September, the House did not meet in full process in the waning weeks of a legislative session. It’s not a bipartisan problem. Republicans control the Senate and Democrats control the House, and the decision-making process is equally bad in both Houses. The legislative leaders can’t be saddled with the entire blame, either, since to some degree each member tolerates what is truly a fiasco. And so I conclude with a New Year’s recolution. In the new legislature my goal will be to focus on how we make decisions. I intend to seek out other frustrated members - and there are many - to develop an agenda for legislative reform. A more sensible decision-making calendar, stronger com­ mittee oversight and a more open budget process, revision of lobby reporting and campaign finance laws are all issues which need urgent attention. I will be pushing hard to see that this happens. In the next few weeks I will be sharing with you more voting highlights. The upcoming list will reflect votes I and other lawmakers cast in the couple of weeks before the 1983-84 legislature en­ ded. Few of us who voted are experts on the diverse and sometimes complex subjects contained in the bills. That’s okay. Representative government can survive if the people and their elected represen­ tatives strive to make informed decisions. But the ability to listen and learn, common sense and a sense of justice are not enough. For voters, in­ formed choices are becoming increasingly difficult as we try to sift through the clutter of 30 and 60second commercials designed to trigger more emotion than thought. But that’s another problem for a different Diary. My concern here is the Michigan legislature. It is not working well. The judgments I make for you cannot be very informed or intelligent, because the process as it operates today won’t allow adequate deliberation. Consider the past year. From January through mid-July, the House and Senate were preoccupied with the 1985 budget. A relatively small group of Appropriations Committee members — Republican in the Senate and Democrats in the House — ham­ mered out the spending proposals. Most lawmakers were handed a foot and a half stack of budget bills to vote on a few hours before recessing for the summer RELIABLE TV & RADIO In Wertin Auto Blds., M-37 - Caledonia FOR THE MOST IMPORTANT DAY OF YOUR LIFE See us for . . .

And even though you don’t want to admit it, isn’t it nice to be back to some kind of routine? Not that we haven’t enjoyed the holidays and all their busy­ ness. It’s like one of my lead crystal sun reflectors you look at it, turn it, and each time find a new memory of times spent, just like rainbows when the sun shines through. Our cup truly “runneth over’’ to have all of our family with us the Sunday before Christmas - twen­ ty-six blessings, plus Tom and me (and we hope we’re blessings sometimes, too!) The Ken Bremers of Wilmore, KY and Dave Bremers of Shepherd stayed here Saturday and Sunday nights which was added fun. The Wenger family gathered with Bob and Helen for their traditional Christmas Eve dinner and celebration. Many of them had been with Verne and Bea Wenger earlier for lunch. Bob and Helen had Christmas dinner with Ed, Christina Gibson and family. Mike, Katy. Brett and Kelly Bremer went to Muskegon the day before Christmas, stopping at Ravenna to visit and exchange gifts with friends Susie and Roger Parsons and son. They were glad for a visit with Katy’s brother, Art who is home on leave from the Navy. Her sister, Margaret Stapel and daughters came from Indiana for a holiday visit on Thursday. The Bob Hunt family spent Christmas eve with her folks, Emmet and Fran Wilson of Paw Paw. Then they spent two days at Tecumseh with Bob's folks. Paul and Blanch Piepkow of Olivet were coming to spend New Years Eve with the Hunts • and they were glad the Villa (and no further) was their destination. The Dave Enders family spent Christmas Day with his folks, Harold and Dorothy Enders. Dave and Sue went to the home of Dean Petersen at Adrian for a New Years Eve party while sons Brad and Brian attended a “Cousins slumber party" at the home of Dann and Francy Tobin. Fred and Letha Buckingham attended the Barry County Road Commission Christmas Party on December 21st. They celebrated Christmas with the family at Paw Paw at the home of son Lyle and wife Barb. All the family were present except one gran­ dson, and he called from Texas to complete the family circle. When I talked with Sharon Becker Monday they were putting the final touches on preparation for a Holiday Open House and hoping the weather would not deter too many guests. Their children, like many others, were visiting and entertaining friends throughout the vacation time. Family Christmas at the Fred Steiners was held on Sunday, the 23rd, with the Bruce Steiner family, Emily VanMatre, Judy Thompson and family, both local, and the Tim Estes family of Deerfield, Ill., on hand. A phone call to daughter Jenny in Canada was a nice finale to the day. On Christmas Alice fixed a turkey dinner for family members available, plus the Dann Tobin family, Tom and me. Ken and Vicky Bremer and I ventured to Holland last Thursday afternoon for a visit with my Aunt Kate Menzemer. (roads bad, visit good!) Our thanks to the Wenger neighbors and neighbor-brother-Uncle Fred Steiner for clearing our road and many drives New Years Day. Doesn’t seem quite fair that farmers, who already contribute a large portion of our tax dollars, have to also do the work of the road commission. But then that’s the kind of people they are. We do appreciate them. Have a Happy New Year, blessed with a little bit of quietness each day, someonefs) to love who love you back, and reasonably good health.

You Gotta Shovel! After nearly 28 years on Middleville's Main Street, Dick Smith is now working “part time” for the new owner of Smith's Professional Pharmacy. Effective January 1, David Hopkins became the new owner of the downtown drug store. Hopkins, 32, is a native of Hudsonville and is a registered pharmacist, having received his degree from Ferris State College in 1975. Smith purchased the drug store from Glen and Evelyn Crandall in 1957, having worked for the previous owner, Vinal Tabor, in 1955. Dick cited health reasons for selling the store at this time. Following surgery last summer, Dick stated he no longer could maintain the hours on his feet deman­ ded by the job. Hopkins and his family have lived in Hopkins, Michigan, for the past 7 years. He managed the Lippert Pharmacy in Allegan for 8 years and the Grandville store for one yer. He also was a district manager for Lipperts for a year. Dave and Judy have three children, Michelle, 8; Stacey, 6, and Rosa, 5. The family is currently looking for a home in the Middleville area. Dave lists as his hobbies, “anything to do with the outdoors,’’ including hunting, fishing and water skiing. While in high school at Hudsonville Unity Christian, he participated in basketball, track, golf and soccer. “We want to keep a professional image of the store, so we have chosen the name ‘Smith’s Professional Pharmacy’,” said Hopkins. “We want to serve the customer every way we can,” the new owner said. He also indicated that he hopes to ex­ pand the merchandise in the store, reflecting what the customers want. Citizens Like Middleville, But Have Suggestions . . . . Last fall a “Community At­ titude Survey” from the Village Planning Commission was sent out to all the residents of Mid­ dleville. The results of that sur­ vey have been tallied and it reveals some interesting facts about the community, and how its residents feel about Mid­ dleville. About 10 percent of the people who received the survey respon­ ded, which most pollsters con­ sider a good sampling of the people. Considering the entire survey, the responses were positive and upbeat. Most Mid­ dleville folks think their town is a good place to live and work. The biggest “negative” factor expressed was the lack of adequate commercial shopping facilities in the village. Of those responding to that question, nearly 90% said that Middleville needed expanded shopping facilities. Most of those people said they went out of town at least once or twice every two weeks to shop in other places. A vast majority said they would like to see more commercial development here and said they would support a “downtown redevelopment program. ’ ’ Along those lines, the questionnaire asked what could be done to help preserve the downtown area. Many respon­ dents said there should be a “river front theme” developed. If a downtown redevelopment project were to come about, the people were asked how it should be financed. Most respondents thought government grants would be a good idea, followed by tax incentives and financing by the business owners themselves. Residentially, the survey in­ dicates that new development should be encouraged. The village should be promoting apartments and new single family homes, followed by con­ dominiums and mobile homes. Mobile homes, however, should be restricted to parks. Respon­ dents to the survey turned thumbs down (by a small margin) to low-income family housing, but would welcome lowincome housing for the senior citizens. When looking at industry, the people responding to the survey said the village should have more industrial area with an emphasis on light manufacturing and warehousing. Some people wan­ ted to see “high tech” industry encouraged in the village. In­ terestingly enough, a big majority of the people felt that there should be a controlled in­ dustrial park, but “outside” the village. Recreational attitudes from the people responding indicate that, with the exception to specific needs (such as an ice skating area and a soccer field), the village is pretty well covered. When asked about the com­ munity services that are provided in the Village, the people were highly pleased. Get­ ting high marks were police protection, fire protection, sewage treatment, solid waste disposal, water supply, streets and recreation area. When asked whether “you would be willing to vote additional millage to main­ tain and/or improve these ser­ vices,” people responding gave a slight majority to yes over no. Summing up the survey, most people prefer Middleville as a place to live because they like a small town with their roots here. They also indicate that the school system is a big factor in living here, along with the closeness to Grand Rapids for working and shopping. When asked what was the most serious problem facing Middleville, there were a variety of answers. Pop­ ping up often was “no jobs, no shopping and junk cars. ” �Community Billboard Pg. 21 The Sun and Nawi, Middleville, Ml / Jan. 10,1985 From Rep.

One of the hottest topics at the end of the most recent session was the crisis in our prison system. The Governor has been forced to authorize early prison releases nine times in the past two years due to overcrowding and inadequate capacity. He is now on record as refusing to sign any more early releases, and he signed into law several bills designed to provide temporary, stop-gap solutions to the overcrowding problem. Those temporary solutions are not going to make the problem go away. As soon as the Legislature gets back to Lansing in January, a bipartisan joint legislative committee will be formed to make recommendations for funding the construction of new state prisons in Michigan. A rising crime rate has made people afraid to go outside, afraid to travel to urban areas for fear that harm will come to their possessions or their health, afraid to meet the eyes of strangers. People want criminals off the street. To accomplish that, we must have the cooperation of the judicial system and make sure we have enough space to house con­ victed felons. There has been a movement afoot in the past year to implement guidelines to help cut down on the wide disparity of sentences handed down to criminals committing similar crimes. That movement con­ tinues to gain strength and support, and will be fur­ ther debated during the coming session. As the state cracks down on convicted criminals, we continue to have a problem with prison space. We have been at or near capacity for years, and it doesn’t look as though that situation is going to change much in the future. For that reason, we must make sure that there is adequate prison capacity. The first step is finding the most feasible way to fund the construction of the facilities, which is what the new House-Senate bipartisan committee will be exploring. Once they make their recommendations by mid-March, we can take the next step.

Urge the Use of Earnings Reports as a Planning Tool Not Enough Hours In Your Day? STATE I BANK The Sun era! News, Middleville. Ml I Jan. 10.19851 Pg. 5 with offices in Caledonia and Dutton AMY QUESTIONS? FOR ADDITIONAL INFORMATION CALL ICICI B14113 If you get Social Security benefits and worked last year, and earned over the annual earnings limit, you are required to file an earnings report with Social Security by April 15. Social Security officials suggest that the report be used as much for plan­ ning purposes as for reporting purposes. This is because the document is designed to record how much you earned over the limit last year and how much you expect to earn in 1985. Your benefit is then adjusted to reflect excess earnings — past and estimated — and you won’t accumulate an overpayment - benefits to which you are not en­ titled. Few people have trouble reporting last year’s ear­ nings. However, Social Security has discovered that a great many people have problems estimating the amount of earnings they expect during the current year. The result is that more than 70 percent of the overpayments in 1984 are expected to be caused by underestimating earnings on the annual earnings reports. The repayment procedures generally in­ volve deductions from future checks or a lump-sum payment. In any case, overpayments are a headache for all concerned — you relying on your monthly checks and SSA, who is charged with administering an ef­ ficient program with a minimum of waste of public funds. For this reason, current emphasis is on the prevention of overpayments. If you work, you are urged to take the time now to assess your work plans for the year, if possible. You may compare last year’s work with this year’s estimate to get an idea of the effect your estimated work will have on your benefits. If you need help, the nearest Social Security office will be glad to help either by phone or in person. Another good way to prevent overpayments is to report any change in earning levels as soon as they occur. Some people wait until the next earnings report is due. Their report of earnings result in a discovery of a significant overpayment caused by the lower level of earnings estimated earlier. The annual earnings limit changes each year with increases in national wage levels. In 1984, it was $6,960 for people age 65 and over and $5,160 for people under 65. The earnings limit does not apply once people reach 70. In 1985, the earnings limit is $7,320 for people 65 and over, and $5,400 for people under 65.

How To Select A Contractor Homeowners who are con­ sidering repairs or additions to their homes must take care that they select a reputable and professional contractor to do the work Choosing a pro­ fessional contractor you’re comfortable with, and one who will do the job nght. takes more then simple esti­ mation. Bird Incorporated, the nation’s oldest manufac­ turer of roofing shingles, rec­ ommends you ask these ques­ tions to help take the guesswork out of selecting the right person for the job. 1. How long has the con­ tractor been in business0 Look for well-established companies that have been in business for at least three years—with the staying power to be around year after year. 2. Has the contractor done similar jobs like yours before? Even if your job seems rou­ tine. be sure the contractor has a good reputation and is experienced in the type of work you need done. 3. Can the contractor pro­ vide references from satisfied customers? Don’t be afraid to follow these up with a phone call or two. 4. Does the contractor pro­ vide a warranty on his work? Check the product warranties on all building materials, such as roofing shingles if you’re having a new roof in­ stalled Product warranties vary widely and can make a big difference for your job. 5. Can the contractor give you a clear, written estimate as well as a schedule for start­ ing and finishing a job? Don’t accept an incomplete or casual representation of work Leisure Time Classes Coming Soon! to oe done Look for profes­ sional presentation of an esti­ mate and scheduled start and completion dates. 6. Does the company meet all state and local require­ ments for the work it per­ forms9 In some areas licens­ ing is required, so make sure your professional contractor meets these requirements. 7. Is the contractor in­ sured? Your contractor should have insurance coverage to cover accidents or injuries on the job. i^ack of in­ surance could mean big trou­ ble for you. the homeowner, in the event of an accident To assist homeowners in selecting competent, reliable roofing contractors. Bird In­ corporated certifies experi­ enced residential roofers who are committed to high stand­ ards of professionalism and quality.

Weren’t we folks here in our area lucky with that New Years storm? Got a little rain, a little snow - but still have our electricity, heat and bathrooms. I couldn’t but help think about the older folks, or families with a lot of children. Aren’t we all terribly spoiled by our dependence on electricity! Here at our house - we have a fireplace insert we can cook on - plenty of foodstuffs. I would have hated to have what some people did have with our six children home. We no longer have the old outhouses, but we have plenty of Sears catalogs. I don’t even have an old white enamel “slop jar” (as we used to call it) lurking around in an old corner. For you spoiled city “young uns,” that was what we used at night to keep from going outdoors to go to the bathroom during bad weather. I can just "hear’’ my mother scolding me with one of her strong disapproving looks. "There are certain subjects that are not discussed publicly!!’’ My youngsters call it "earthy talks.” At any rate, aren’t we all luxuriously spoiled by our modem conveniences? Mrs. Featherly is feeling real punk with this flu or cold bug. Sounded real dragged out. Bob, Donna and Rob Kenyon attended the junior bowling tournament in Rockford Sunday. lyla Norton visited her daughter and son and their families in Kalamazoo Thursday. Said when she came home she couldn’t believe the beauty of the storm. It was saddening at the same time as showing great beauty. She’d never seen such a beautiful sight before. She came home and picked up Greta Greiner and turned right around and went back. When you experience such beauty it helps so much to share with someone else. Neither one had ever seen such a sight. Everything was like a makebelieve shattered glass world.The beauty didn’t start until Delton and south. Isn’t that the way with God’s world? Great beauty coupled with great hardships. They help level out each other. Mrs. Doug Sherman just had thyroid surgery and the family are awaiting the results. The Leo Verlindes and family spent Christmas holidays with daughter and family in Mt. Kisco, New York. Had good weather all the time on their 2,000 mile trip. Jim Lewis has a new job this week. The Lewis boys spent the holidays with their moms in Ludington. Saturday one of the boys attended Bob VanOort's birthday party. Don Williamson spent the holidays at home with his parents, Cathy and Don Williamson, and he has since returned to New Jersey. Tom Elwood and his doctor friend from Germany had Sunday supper with his mom, Louise Elwood. Ken and Rose Morgan spent the weekend at the Mens Bowling tournament in Lansing. The Clintons had her sister, Nonda Gardner, along with her granddaughter Nicky from Greenville visiting them Monday. Then Annette, Barb were over to Greta Greiner’s as well as Greta’s daughter and children for New Years. I haven’t been able to get Chambers lately and Rose told me why.

The Sun and News, MiddlevtMe, Ml / Jan. 10,19851 ?$. 9 Christmas. So the family has been going to Cadillac every weekend to get her apartment all cleaned up and go through her things. They hope this weekend will clear everything up. She lived in an apartment complex similar to Lincoln Meadow and they vdry graciously gave time to settle up everything. Mrs. Sprenkle, and it was really Mrs. Sprenkle, gave me the news this time. Thru my error each time I received news from the Sprenkles I dubbed hubby Gene as "Mrs. Sprenkle." My humble apologies Mr. Gene. Thanks for catching me up and telling me about it. Because unless you point out my mistakes. I’ll blissfully go on making them. Son Steve Sprenkle is back on base as an instruc­ tor in Chicago after being home for the holidays. They talked with son Chris and wife who are stationed in Hawaii. They even had tickets for the bowl game. They told their folks to watch for their sign in the endzone. Mrs. thought she saw it in the one flash shot of that area. Mrs. Hamilton said Great Aunt Olith (wonder if that’s a family name?) spent Christmas eve and day with them. Hamilton’s son is now stationed in Hawaii. Michael Stein spent the weekend with Regina’s brother in Grand Rapids, then they went up and had Sunday dinner with them. Cousin John Paul was there also. Luana Tolan said she and her family spent the holidays "sniffling" around with colds. Right now she’s under the weather. The Glen Schondelmayers attended the swearingin ceremony of the new county officials, done by Hudson Deming. Then Mr. and Mrs. Howard Ferris entertained them for lunch. They also attended Mr. and Mr. Ferris’s open house supper. Pat said it was so nice to see other Register of Deeds from other areas wishing Howard well in his retirement. Mike and Cheryl Cravero of Fawn Avenue are the happy parents of a daughter, Emily, bom January 7 at Pennock Hospital. Congratulations to all.

Barb and Lyle Buckingham also stopped by Sunday after they dropped son Mark off at the airport to return to his school in New Mexico. The beauty of our diamond-studded treetops has been almost indescribable — and the slipperiness of our road is also indescribable because this is a family newspaper and I don’t use that kind of language! Thankfully, I wasn’t one of them, but there have been a few unintentional ‘donuts' made in the area this week .. and if the person who lost the hubcap between our house and Steiners will stop by, they can have it back. The frozen snow may not have been great for driving, but was it ever a winner on the sliding hills. Tom, Brenda and Lindsay Bremer, Eric and Lori LOCAL CHURCH DIRECTORY ST.

Main, Caledonia, Mi./ 891-8222 5 The voting highlights below are bills that have been signed into law by Governor Blanchard: Enforcing the 21-year old Drinking Age (HB 5804). In response to bar owners, I introduced and voted for a measure which will highlight on young peoples’ drivers’ licenses the fact that they are UNDER 21. This will help drinking establishments to identify and avoid serving under-age customers. Prisoner Reimbursement Amendment (HB 5523). The law requiring prisoners to reimburse the state for incarceration costs has been modified so that a prisoner’s home cannot be seized to cover expenses. It was argued that taking an inmate s home could only cause that much more instability upon retur­ ning to the community. My vote: Yes. Issuing Tickets for Building Code Violations (HB5767). This measure makes it clear that local governments may enact ordinances authorizing in­ spectors to issue appearance tickets to builders who are in violation of local building codes. I voted Yes. Commercial Tax Exemptions (HB 5788). This voted for legislation extending through 1985, Public Act 255. The law authorizes local governments to grant property tax breaks to new or rehabilitated commercial businesses for up to 12 years. The bill will give lawmakers one more year to analyze the economic development value of this abatement program — and consider whether it should be tightened or even eliminated. Municipal Employers Retirement Act (HB 5788). This comprehensive measure recodifies the outdated retirement program that the state oversees as a ser­ vice to local governments. Changes include a new early retirement formula and added survivors’ benefits commensurate with higher investment yields on pension fund contributions in recent years. My vote: Yes. Community College Investment Authority (SB 732). I supported legislation to broaden the invest­ ment options available to community colleges. The bill should enable 2-year schools to invest in in­ struments that offer a higher rate of return. Snagging (SB 867). After urging the legislature to defeat this bill, the Governor engaged in political horse-trading and signed into law a measure that will allow for three more years the indiscriminate snagging of salmon and other fish species along four Western Michigan rivers. I voted against a practice which gives Michigan a bad name among sport fishing groups. Detroit Utility Users’ Tax (SB 885). I voted for a bill that will continue the 5% utility users’ tax on Detroit residents and businesses. This measure will provide the $45 million needed for the court-ordered rehiring of some 724 laid-off police officers. Reimbursement for Water Supplies (SB 849). This amendment to the Environmental Response Act will allow persons to seek reimbursement from the state cleanup fund for expenditures they have made to replace contaminated water supplies. However, funds will only be granted for costs incurred after the Environmental Response Act took effect in Oc­ tober 1982 and the contaminated sites must be iden­ tified under the act’s “risk assessment process.” I voted Yes. Restricted New Commercial Fishing (SB 739). To protect Michigan’s estimated $1 billion sport fishing industry, I supported a bill that will prohibit the DNR from approving new commercial licenses for the use of gill nets, pound nets or trap nets in the lower Great Lakes. The bill is effective for the next three years, and does not apply to commercial licen­ ses authorized before September 15,1984. Defining Disability (HB 5588) One of the most controversial aspects of Michigan’s workers’ com­ pensation system for employees injured in the cour­ se of their work is the defin;t?nn of what a disability is for purposes of benefit eligibility. This bill exten­ ds the present definition until June 30,1985, setting the state for a legislative effort this spring to develop a fair, but more cost-effective provision. My vote: yes. State I.D. Cards (SN 18). I voted for a measure continuing the practice of selling at Secretary of State offices I.D. cards to individuals who do not have drivers’ licenses. Such cards will no longer be permanent, but must be renewed after four years. This change, plus the addition of a computerized sUU I.D. bomber, will make it easier for users to of­ fer their cards as identification at banks and retail stores. Sand Dune Mining Regulation (SB 231). This bill raises the sUU surveillance fee paid by sand mining operators from 1 < per ton to a maximum of 10< per ton after 1985. The new fee will raise about $71,000 annually. These extra dollars should enable the ad­ ministration of the atate’s sand dune protection ef­ fort to return to pre-1981 levels, which still will be a very modest staffing level of three persons to cover the entire state. THORNAPPLE TOWNSHIP Official Board Minutes December 10, 1984 The regular meeting of the Thornapple Township Board was held December 10, 1984.

It was interesting to me because 1 remember Aunt Audie and Uncle George Steeby threshing when I stayed there in the summer - only as an observer, though. In looking back I never cease to be amazed at Uncle George’s patience with a city girl who had to have her nose into everything. The local threshing rig was owned by Albert Wieringa with his son, Ed Wieringa running it. I remember so many things Bill talks about. But I don’t remember Uncle Albert having a water boy maybe it was too modem. I always enjoyed playing in the granary and helping my cousin Web shovel the grain. Actually, I think Web could tell you I played more than shoveled. Only, boy was it hard to breathe if the oats or wheat were smutty. We usually tried to go swimming after the threshing was done, if the men weren’t too tired, to get off the dust and dirt. The man who operated the straw stack blower really got the worst of it. My strongest memory is seeing Uncle Albert come out from there with a red handkerchief around his neck, black and dusty, grinning and making jokes as he went down the bam ramp. They let me ride on the wagons as they went to the fields to pick up the shocked grain, stacking it skillfully, as long as I kept out of the way. I stood by the front rack by the driver of the team. I guess everyone worked real hard except the kids. But we had to help get the meals. One of my main jobs was to set up the washtubs on the washtub ringer stand and fill it with water so the men could wash up before coming in to dinner. I also hung the roller towel over the wringer and a mirror with a comb beside it. Boy! they sure ate - you had a large supply of food and it disappeared like magic. When the threshing rig was in the neighborhood each family helped their neighbors, so they didn’t have to pay anyone except the threshing crew. Hope I’m not talking Greek to you younger folks, because it was a very real part of farming - very hard labor - with many handlings of the grain, while now the combine zips through the field with a minimum of physical labor and is done in a few hours. They used a binder to cut the grain, followed by the farmer to set up the shocks and cap them, then haul the shocks to the separator by the barn to thresh it when the grain was ready and the threshing rig came to your home. Here are some excerpts from Bill's article: 1954 - "One day not long ago it was my good fortone to be in Irving when John Perry fired up his "Port Huron 24-75 Longfellow High Pressure com­ pound Traction Engine”. That, readers, is a threshing engine... The next time you see one take a good look. Let’s hope it is steamed up and running for you may never see another. “John Perry's "Port Huron", which he cherishes and tends like a baby, is 39 years old. It weighs 11 tons. It cost >4500 in 1915. Today, under his care, it still runs like new. But there is no grain for it to thresh, no logs for it to saw, no gang plows for it to pull. Like the steam locomotive, its work, so ably performed in America for nearly a century, has been taken over by more modem engines. "Those of us who, years ago, lay awake on hot August nights and heard the shrill whistle of the threshing engine and the rumble of the heavy separator as it crunched and squeaked along the sandy roads toward our farms will not forget those sounds. That day, mother baked a dozen pies and huge pans of beans, peeled a half bushel of potatoes. The threshers were coming. “To eat like a thresher" still means a lot to those who once tried to keep full serving plates on the table for a ravenous threshing crew. "Each year, starting about the Fourth of July, John and his crew of six - a water boy, separator man, and three bundle pitchers took to the road from farm to farm threshing grain and beans. One season they threshed for 110 days. For three days that year they threshed continuously at the Art Cridler farm. Customarily they worked for about 40 days in wheat and oats, and then in beans for about the same length of time. One season they worked so late they got caught in a snowstorm southeast of Wayland on the way home. John threshed around Green Lake, Bowens Mill, Alaska, Moline and Wayland. For threshing beans, the rate was 5-6< a bushel. The charge for oats was 3< and wheat 4t during much of the long period John operated his rig. By 1941, the last year he was out, the rates were 5< for oats and 64 for wheat. The big engine consumed about a ton of soft lump coal each day. Its boiler used up from 3,000 to 4,000 gallons of water, which was hauled in a water wagon, with its 1,000 gallon tank, by a team of hor­ ses. The water boy would drive to a river or stream, in many cases the Thornapple, pump the tank ful with a hand pump, taking about 20 minutes to do so, and then would race his wagon back to the thirsting engine. The water boy was the envy of every farm lad. While the farm lad sweated it out on the top of a dusty, hot straw stack, the water boy galloped off in a lordly manner to a cool stream for a tank of water. It took 45 minutes in the morning after the fire was started to get up enough steam to work. John’s ‘Port Huron’ is a high pressure engine and he liked to have about 175 pounds of pressure. At the crack of dawn, before breakfast, he would start a blaze in the fire box. By the time breakfast was over, the engine would be ready to go. Often after finishing a job late at night they would have to move several miles to another farm. On some occasions they would chug all night over Barry County hills, at a rate of two or three miles an hour, to reach the new location and get set up at dawn for the next job. Twelve and 15 hour workdays I Th« Sun tnd Newt, Mrtferite. Ml I 17,1985/P»5 were the rule. "A grain separator cost about >2,000. With an engine priced at >4,000-5,000, the threshers invest­ ment was large. In view of the size of the investment and the shortness of the season in which it could be put to work, the monetary return was not excep­ tionally high. Besides there were difficulties in keeping an efficient crew. Bundle pitchers in those days had a keen nose for a barrel of hard cider. Sometimes the thresher would operate a sawmill during the winter months. One winter John Perry sawed more than 200,000 feet of lumber here in Ir­ ving. John says he had little trouble pulling his separator, even in the hilly country of north Irving, provided he could get firm earth as traction for his machine. The 24-horsepower "Port Huron” would take him where he had to go. It surprised me to discover how maneuverable and easy steering the steel monster is. John let me pilot it around the crowded and busy streets or Ir­ ving. Despite its 11 tons, its 8 feet 4 inch width and 20 feet of length, the engine handles neatly, is quickly responsive to the slightest turn of the steering wheel. No doubt it is quite a different mat­ ter to pull a heavy separator on hilly, sandy roads. "One-time threshermen and enthusiasts for old steam engines meet periodically at places throughout the country to talk over the old days and look at, and bargain for, well-preserved and highly valued pieces of threshing machinery. It is the only remaining link with a great, bygone American tradition." TK School Menus | Week of January 21 \______________ / High/Middle School Monday: Barbeque on bun, french fries, plums, milk.

Once again the high percentage at the free throw line made the big dif­ ference for the Trojans. Hitting on 15 out of 22 at­ tempts at the charity line, Middleville clicked for a sizzling 68%. TK also made 47% of their field goal attempts compared to Byron Center’s 41%. TK Junior Varsity Has Perfect Record Middleville’s Junior Varsity basketball team has been “tearing them up’’ so far this season with six wins and no losses early in the campaign. Last Friday night they took the Byron Center Bulldogs by a score of 65-45. It was the game for the league lead, with Byron Center coming into the contest 8-0. The Bulldogs came on like gangbusters, and had it not been for the outside shooting of Mark Verlinde they would have had a bigger lead instead of 16-12 at the end of the first period. By the second quarter, TK’s defense took over and so did Kurt Henry, Bill Goodman and Randy Stickney in the scoring department. The Trojans led 34-27 by halftime, and the defense kept up the pressure in the second half, limiting Byron Center to just 18 more points. Henry was high point man with 16, followed by Stickney with 14. Goodman had 13, Verlinde 8, Doug Fox 9, Greg Willshire and B. J. Furrow 2 each and Jeff Bender 1. The JV’s took their previous games with Com­ stock Park 78-67; Godwin 67-48 and Hamilton 6755. In the Comstock game five Trojans were in double figures: Mark Tusker 21; Goodman and Stickney 13 eacy and Fox and Henry each con­ tributing 12. High point man with 28 points in the Godwin game was Fox, followed by Verlinde’s 10. Fox also led his team with 21 points in the Hamilton game, with Henry hitting for 17.

There’s plenty of room, both outside and in. ...I kind of like these weeks when there’s not too much news - everyone is holed in - and I can pretend I’m a columnist and just write.... So today let’s think about catalogs. Since the first of the year there has been a literal avalanche) (one day last week received eight!) Have they all been bagged up in some obscure corner of the post office since before Christmas cards? Or is the advertising world so naive as to believe anyone has money to spend after Christmas and taxes? I have to admit they do brighten up some other­ wise dull days, because they’re always good for a laugh - like picturing my lumpy body in some of the exotic lingerie that looks as though it came right out of the wardrobe room of “Dallas" or “Dynasty”! It’s a good time to dream of gardens that would produce veggies like the ones in the Gurneys catalog - but how in the world many cookbooks do we need to prepare them to eat? I love recipe books and have boxes of clippings. Now one book just doesn’t do it. We need a book for microwaves, a book for the wok, a book for the crockpot, ad infinitum! (I really feel proud when I toss those brochures, they are so tem­ pting) You want gadgets? You could get an electronic mouse trap, a submachine gun water pistol (ugh!), pants stretchers - and to think we threw them out 20 years ago - or a kit to make almost anything. And of course, no matter what you buy, or don’t buy, you are entered in the $250,000 sweepstakes if you will just return the form. Maybe some day I will have time and stamps to enter every contest, but highly doubt I ’ll ever order a dress out of a catalog • or anywhere - for $150. Last year I joined a children's book club to get books for the grandkids who love the Sesame Street folks. Now the whole sales world thinks we are the parents of young children (again?!). Another Pan­ dora’s box. Can hardly wait to see what the mail will bring today - maybe one of John’s motorcycle catalogs and I can really get revved up! New Grandson Bob and Irene Johnson of Middleville are proud to announce the birth of their fourth grandson, Alec James Belson, born December 13 at Grand Rapids Osteopathic Hospital. He weighed 8 pounds, 6 ounces and has a brother, Brandon. Alec's parents are Randy and Barb Belson. His other grandparents are Dick and Edna Belson and his greatgrandparents are Virginia Harrison Root, Elma Belson and Clifford Johnson, all local. The new arrival also boasts many aunts, uncles, great aunts, uncles and cousins. CHURCH OF MIDDLEVILLE M-37, north of Middleville - Ph. 795-9726 Wesley Smith, Pastor Mark J.

Boy Scouts To Raise Funds for Jamboree Middleville Boy Scout Troop 105 is planning to visit the National Boy Scout jamboree at Fort A.P.Hill, Virginia this coming July. The boys will also spend two days in Washington D.C. and two days in the Jamestown-Williamsburg area. Ap­ proximately 10 boys and two adults are planning on going on this trip. The troop hopes to be able to pay for everyone’s trip from troop funds. To raise money for the trip, the troop will sponsor a Spaghetti Dinner at the Middleville United Methodist Church on Saturday, February 23, from 4:00 to 8:00 p.m. The menu will consist of spaghetti, meatballs, salad, garlic bread, pie and beverage. Cost of the meal is $3.50 for adults, $2.00 for children 10 and under (under Scout age) and $12.00 for a family ticket. Tickets are available now from Scoutmaster Chuck Baughman (795-7373) and will be in the hands of the rest of the Scouts as soon as the weather permits a meeting. The troop appreciates the support it has received from the community in its other fund-raising ac­ tivities, which will continue. The popcorn sale was a big success and will be held again next year, (some additional popcorn is available - call the Scout­ master!) The boys will resume their concession stand at Youth Soccer and baseball games next spring, and will probably hold a few car washes as well. Thanks! NO. 4 MRS.

Prairie Sketches with LOIS BREMER and JANETTE VAN RHEE k__________________ ________________ / If we had a contest for people to tell about their favorite ways to spend snowed-in days, I wonder what kind of entries we’d get - and how many would be printable! One person I called had cleaned out a closet, one was sorting old letters and clippings, another stayed up half the night playing board games with their kids, another sewing -1 started on a latch hook rug - some are baking up a storm - and most of us just eat and eat, and eat! We were reminded very abruptly last week of human frailty when sister Alice (Steiner) had im­ mediate major surgery at Pennock Hospital on Wednesday. I’m not a fisherman, but it came to mind that we humans are kind of like the fish line • we seem delicate but are really quite tough. Her progress is slow at this point, but all up hill. We ex­ pect her to be in the hospital for at least another week. I’m sure stock in the phone company went up last week for all the use we gave it - but the fringe benefit is that we got to talk to most of the rest of the family and now know how everyone else is. Being snowed in at least gave me one advantage in getting news, for I found Joanne VanPutten at home - a rarity! She celebrated her birthday on Saturday • where else but right there. Courtney Rich was a Friday after-school guest of Corey Harrison, with her folks gathering her back in the evening. Nicki Harrison was an overnight guest of Jill Dussia on Friday, then both Jill and Jacob Dussia went home with Harrisons on Saturday with the hope of going snowmobiling. Since the weather prohibited this, they ended up playing games inside, and had such a good time both spent the night. Pat and Judy returned them home Sunday, then had dinner with her folks, the Elmer Wiesenhofers. Harvey and Sharon Becker enjoyed having the chance to go out to eat together a night last week. Also took in Chad's junior high basketball game at Kelloggs ville. Those of the family who were brave enough and who could make it out of their driveways came over to our house on Sunday for a dinner in honor of Susan (Enders) birthday. Family warmth will win out over frigid weather every time! And speaking of frigid weather, it was close to minus 10 in Kentucky, too. Daughter-in-law Vicky feels the kids will be going.to school half the sum­ mer, they’ve had so many bad weather days already. Don and Janet Geukes were at the International Livestock show in Denver last week with Dick and Betty Bryans, Jim and Emily Harrison. They report beautiful weather. Don and Kay Link, Wes and Janette VanRhee had breakfast out together Saturday morning - in an­ ticipation of being snowed in for a few days. Jennie Davis said they’re snowed in good and proper, but son-in-law Gladeon Lewis walked in from the comer on Monday to bring some necessary supplies. Fritz Steiner, Tom and I were Friday night supper guests of Dann, Fran, Jenny and John Tobin in Ir­ ving Road. It will be belated when the paper gets to you in Florida, Jessie Bender, but I see your name right under Sue's on the calendar today - so hope you had a happy birthday. �Z.. .... .............

It looked like a white Christmas this morning when I got up and peered out the window. This is the first that I’ve had a yen to go fishing, but the wind’s pretty strong this morning. I guess folks caught a few bluegills last night. The water is now cleared up again, I was told. I’ll probably need to shovel off the snow when I decide to meander down there. Ron Langkamp and Doc Ron Stegehuis went pheasant hunting in Missouri and had good luck.

Our daughter-in-law, Marcia Gehl. was taken to Blodgett Hospital last week and put on a heart monitor because of chest pains. Tests showed a hiatal hernia and she returned home Wednesday. Grandson Rodney Miller drove from Maryland down to South Carolina to visit his brother Mitch Miller and family last week end. We received a letter from Lakeland, Florida from Don and Lucille McCormick. It’s real nice down there. They went to Disney World with Sue and Bernie and boys. They go golfing a lot and walk three miles every day around Lake Hollinsworth. Lucille said she likes it there but is beginning to look forward to spring and coming home again. They had a cold spell too. Bea McGihn told me she received a card from Ireland from Jean and Harold Vreeland. This is their third trip over there They will be there until March. It is very damp over there right now. Jean and Harold live at Beaver Island. Our congratulations to Michael and Faith Apol, Caledonia, on the birth of a son.

It's surprising how my daily and af­ ternoon 1 mile walk has shrunk to a small ‘Zi mile - as by PAUL HILLEGONDS 54th DISTRICT STATE REPRESENTATIVE The voting highlights below are bills that have been signed into law by Governor Blanchard: Paying Counties for Court Costs. I supported a bill to provide reimbursement to counties for the cost of probate court proceedings initiated to tran­ sfer mentally ill state prisoners held within those counties to the state corrections psychiatric program. Schoo) Commemorative Day. This measure marks the third Monday in January for special school ob­ servance of Martin Luther King, Jr. Day. Schools will provide commemorative exercises, or schoolwork may be assigned to teach the significan of the day. Similar recognition has been given to Veterans Day and the birthdays of Lincoln and Washington. My vote: yes. Using University Research Resources. To en­ courage cooperative research and development ef­ forts, this act authorizes local governments to grant property tax abatements to research-oriented com­ panies that locate in high technology parks developed near Michigan universities. I voted yes. Foster Care Review. There are about 11,000 children who live in foster care homes throughout Michigan. The average stay is 2l/i years, with over half of these children never being returned to their biological parents. Following a successful pilot program, this package creates a state foster care review board and a network of local citizen boards. Their purpose will be to monitor the placement and care of foster children, with the gorl of expediting the permanent placement of children in stable family situations. My vote: yes. Gleaning Tax Credit. I supported this one-year extension of a tax credit of 10% of the wholesale value of crops which farmers allow to be gleaned from their fields after the normal harvesting has been completed. Designed to encourage the practice of gleaning by charitable organizations which collect food for needy persons, the credit has not been widely used to date. A better approach may be to limit the liability of farmers who open their fields to gleaners. That proposal will be considered in the upcoming session. Special Assessments in Commercial Districts. I voted for an amendment to the Shopping Areas Redevelopment Act which will allow special assessments levied on stores to be used for promotional and security activities as well as capital improvements in designated districts. Rest Area Regulations. Criminal activities such as armed robbery, prostitution, and homosexuality are a continuing problem at certain highway rest areas in Michigan. I supported a measure which will allow the Transportation Department to single out particular rest areas for more restrictive operating rules where this has become necessary. Easement Update. This bill gives the Department of Natural Resources statutory authority for a prac­ tice it has been undertaking for years: the granting of easements on land under its jurisdiction for state and county roads and telecommunication lines. I voted yes. Eliminating Overlapping Regulations. Under this package, waste haulers that are licensed under the hazardous waste act will no longer have to submit to dual state licensure under the industrial waste act. My vote: yes. Wayne County Fees. County Executive Bill Lucas has been a strong leader in trimming the Wayne County budget, but that jurisdiction still faces a financial squeeze. To assist, this package will enable Wayne County to establish its own schedule of fees for certain county-provided services such as vital records searches and concealed weapons licenses. The fees cannot exceed the cost of providing the services. My vote: yes. Tightening Real Estate Licensing Requirements. I supported legislation that will require an applicant for a real estate salesperson’s license to show proof of successful completion of at least 40 clock hours of classroom courses in real estate principles — in­ cluding four hours in civil rights law and equal op­ portunity housing. Prohibiting Imitation Drugs. The pushing of “look alike drugs” which contain legal substances but resemble illicit chemicals is introducing young people to the drug scene and diverting limited police resources from hard drug enforcement activities. I voted for a bill that will prohibit the advertisement, manufacture, distribution and possession of imitation controlled substances. Fighting the Stolen Car Industry. Auto thefts in Michigan now cost over $250 million annually. To combat the estimated 39% of these thefts which in­ volve professionals who break down stolen cars into component parts at “chop shops,” this measure makes it a felony to operate or aid and abet the ownership of a “cnop shop”. I voted yes. Small Claims Court Access. I supported a bill allowing local upits of government to sue and be sued in small claims court. The Small Claims Division is a cheaper forum to resolve disputes in­ volving small debts or claims.

CAPITOL COLUMN by RICHARD POSTHUMUS STATE SENATOR Although the seat belt issue may have lost a bat­ tle last year when it was narrowly defeated in the House, it may yet win the war. Considering the controversial nature of the issue, it isn’t surprising that it was not passed last session. After being approved by the Senate, proponents scrambled to put together the needed votes in the House. To their disappointment, the bill failed by four votes. Now, however, supporters seem to believe that the new composition in the House will ensure passage of the seat belt requirement. The newlyintroduced bill is similar to the previous one, requiring front-seat passengers and drivers to wear safety belts. Also, police officers would not be authorized to stop a driver for not wearing the seat belt, but could issue a citation if he is pulled over for some other violation. Under the proposal, violators would be fined $25. There are few issues which generate such strong emotions as laws which people find threatening. Opponents of mandatory seat belt legislation claim that it is their right to choose whether or not to wear safety belts, and that no government has the right to tell them they must comply. A small number of people also fear that safety belts could trap them in their car if they are in an accident, and prevent them from escaping. Proponents argue that driving is a privilege, and not a right. Therefore, drivers should be willing to follow guidelines of operation. In addition, they cite the huge number of deaths in accidents where drivers and passengers are not wearing safety belts. According to the Michigan State Police, more than 90 percent of the people who died while riding cars and trucks in Michigan last year were not using seat belts. Supporters of the legislation believe that hundreds of highway deaths can be avoided by im­ plementing a seat belt requirement. Other states are also debating the question. New York, New Jersey and Illinois have instituted man­ datory safety belt laws. Will Michigan join the ranks of the states that have mandated seat belt use? Only the coming months will tell. Roving Reporter with HAZEL McCAUL My, it is much cooler today - mid 40’s. Everyone has their plants covered with sheets, blankets, etc., as Jack Frost is predicted for tonight. We will spend Monday at Venice with Clarke’s nephew and wife, Don and Maxine Springer, for­ merly local folks around the Hastings area. Friday Clarke and I had lunch with Emma Silva, a cousin, at K&K Mobile Park. Saturday evening we entertained Walter and Lu Meyers, Battle Creek, Frankie Smith, Missouri, and Emma Silva, Grand Rapids, all from K&K Mobile Park for the winter. We had a good attendance at church today - all the northerners have returned, plus those who were away for the holidays. Friday we called on our neighbor, Margaret Taylor across the way.

She always had Super Bowl on Sunday. Mike was the only one with kind words for all who knew her. a 4-wheel drive, so he could get around and about.

I MIDDLE VILLA LANES | TK JV Smashes Wayland, 75-49 In the game with Wayland on Tuesday night, the Trojan Junior Varsity team really smashed the Wildcats, 75-49. Middleville jumped off to a 14-1 lead in the first quarter before the Wayland team relly knew what hit them. From then on Middleville coasted to victory. Mark Verlinde had an outstanding game with 20 points and five assists. Doug Fox was the leading scorer with 22 points and six rebounds. Randy Stickney was the third player to score in double figures with 10 points, and led the team in assists with six.

Middle School Basketball TK Eighth Grade The TK 8th Grade Basketball team played its best game of the season on January 11 in a losing ef­ fort to Byron Center, 47-36. Byron Center, loser only once this year by 2 points to last year’s 7th grade champion Hudsonville, is considered the best team in the league this year. The Trojans started out a little nervous but soon realized they could play with Byron Center. The Trojans fell behind 15-9 by the end of the first quar­ ter. The second quarter was a different story as the Trojans charged back to outscore Byron Center 11-6 and trailed by only one point at half, 21-20. The Trojans, playing good defense and shooting well, played almost even through the third quarter, but still found themselves trailing 34-32 as the four­ th quarter began. The Trojans played tough and trailed by only 4 points with about two minutes to play, then B.C. scored 6 uncontested points to put the game awa. Scoring for the Trojans were Mike Brotherton 11, Doug Mesecar 9, Dave French 6, Dirk Strater 6, and Derek Surdam 4. �The Sun and News, Middleville, Ml / Jan. 24, 1985 I Pg. 7 CLASSIFIED ADS THORNAPPLE TOWNSHIP Official Board Minutes PLACE YOUR ADVERTISING MESSAGE HERE — 795-3345 January 14, 1985 RATES: 10$ Per Word, Per Insertion.

MIDDLEVILLE, MICHIGAN 49333 NO. 5 • JANUARY 31,1985 Council, Township Board Hold Joint Meeting A FIRST! Members of the Middleville Village Council and the Thornapple Township Board met in a joint session on Tuesday in a historic meeting of the two governing bodies. The two groups met to discuss mutual problems facing both the township and village, and to seek ways in which they can cooperate in the future. In these preliminary talks, both groups explored such ideas as water and sewer expansion, police protection, combined municipal facilities and future planning. Chaired by Village Manager Kit Roon, the members of the council and township board all recognized that planning for the future must anticipate the continued growth from the Grand Rapids complex. The planning com­ missions of both governing bodies will probably be asked to work together to present ideas for the future. Shown, from left, around the table: Village President Vai Owen, Councilpersons Connie Duyser, Marilyn VandenBerg, Township Trustee Fred Rock, Councilman Ray Blough, Township Supervisor Donald Boysen, Village Manager Kit Roon, Village Clerk Cheryl Hooper, Township Clerk Donna Kenyon (par­ tially hidden), Councilman Delbert Riley, Township Treasurer Shirley Eaton and Town­ ship Trustee Bill Getty.

Our paidfor subscribers are written off as not a big enough group to justify reaching. 3. People just don’t spend a whole lot of time with the printed word anymore. They watch their TV sets for commercial entertainment and news. The advertising bucks are being spent there because that is where the audience lies. 4. The local newspaper is viewed by many as merely a medium of ‘‘local gossip.” This newspaper has always prided itself on keeping local issues before the people; however, when people dismiss you as being nothing more than homespun news, your image becomes rather one­ dimensional. WHERE DOES THIS LEAD US? As we said, we have to face up to the fact that this newspaper cannot sur­ vive in the future without some kind of advertising subsidy. Maybe we have not worked hard enough to warrant the community’s acceptance and support. Frankly, we’re open to some suggestions. If we cannot resolve The Sun and News’ future in a solvent manner, we could go the way of the buggy whip! — Don Boysen, Editor HOW OFTEN have we heard (or said) “I took it for granted, but I didn’t think it would turn out this way!” Yes, we do take things for granted, and we are surprised when something happens that isn’t what we really wanted. Such is the case of this newspaper. We’re afraid that you as the reader, have taken for granted that the “good old Sun and News is always going to be around ’ ’ And, as the publisher, we are just as guilty in assuming that The Sun and News will survive in the years to come. As the owner of a small town weekly newspaper for the past 29 years, we have seen the gradual erosion of the paper’s place in the community. Advertising support for this newspaper (I’m sure you have noticed!) has dwindled to the point where it no longer pays the bills. Why has this happened? Several factors have influenced local advertising to dry up: 1. There are just fewer business places left to place advertising messages. Look around the commer­ cial districts in the local communities and you see what we mean. 2. Competition for the advertising dollars is stiff. Free circulation adver- — Woman’s Whirl by JOANNE BOYSEN / Last week I was in the “Sun” office when a group of Brownie Girl Scouts came in to have their picture taken to publicize the beginning of Girl Scout cookie sales. They were a lively group, full of questions and comments. It seems such a short time ago that our girls were involved in Girl Scout activities. They worked for badges, took part in various community activities, and earned money for camp and special trips. Our girls’ first experience at staying away from home (other than at Grandma’s, of course) was Girl Scout camp. How homesick they were that first time, and how I missed them! But it was a great experience, and they were so excited at all of the neat things they did. Later on, I was one of the parents who ac­ companied the Scouts on a train trip to Chicago. They, with the help of a terrific leader, Carolyn Booth, had earned the money to pay their train fare, hotel expenses, food. etc. On another occasion, Don and I drove one of the cars for a troop, who, again with Carolyn's leadership, had planned and earned funds for a trip to Niagara Falls. Beth's college roommate, Jane Straight, is direc­ tor of a Girl Scout council in the Mt. Pleasant/Saginaw area.

Boysen, Editor and Publisher Dale Boysen, Lois Bremer, Kathy Bremer - Staff Sec. of State Austin Asks Snowmobilers to Use Caution Secretary of State Richard Austin has asked all snowmobile operators to put into practice safe operating procedures whether on trails, on the road or in the woods. Austin said we have already in­ curred eight snowmobile deaths for the current win­ ter snow season — half as many as were killed in the winter snow season of 1983-84. Austin, Chairman of the State Safety Com­ mission, aid that with exception of restrictions for operators under 16, no license and no training or testing are required by law to operate snowmobiles. For this reason, to a large extent, every operator must train himself or herself. At the same time, snowmobile operators are exposed to more risks than other motorized vehicles. Falling through ice and being struck by motor vehicles are the leading causes of snowmobile deaths and injuries. Turning over and striking trees and buried obstacles are another major cause of deaths and injuries. Reducing speed helps reduce this type of accident. Austin said. Because snowmobile operation requires a high degree of physical coordination and skill, Austin advised operators not to consume alcoholic beverages before or during trips.

Many years ago when I was a student at Univer­ sity of Michigan, I lived in a small housing unit where we did our own cooking. A popular dessert was a lemon (we also had chocolate) pudding we made from a recipe our house mother had. It was easy to make and was just the right finishing touch for many of our dinner menus. This recipe, provided by Edna Bechtel, sounds very much like our old favorite. Thanks, Edna!

But, Mary and Harold Noah had three big robins setting in their crabapple tree. All three of them saw the robins. Mary said they looked in real good condition. She doesn’t know if they’re newcomers or have been wintering here. But I'd sure love to think they are advance scouts for spring - but hardly feel it so this early. Mary was telling all about the different birds they feed, watch and enjoy; cedar waxwings, purple fin­ ches, cardinals, chickadees and even rabbits in the evening. I enjoy watching the personalities emerge as they feed. Some are bullies, some aggressive, some shy. some persistent. Mary does something new to me. She always pops com for the birds. She says they love it. I’ll have to try it once and see what happens. Wanda Moore and children went to Muskegon last Wednesday to attend the funeral service for Wanda’s brother, Wm. McElwee Sr., who died unexpectedly on January 20th. I asked her about driving conditions. She said the closer they got to Muskegon the more snow they had. Nora Moore, who lives in St. Paul, Minn., called her mom last weekend and said they had a wind chill of -60*. You got out to start your car but stayed in out of the wind to survive. Nora and friend David Schwan, also of St. Paul, spent the Christmas holidays with her family and her grandfather, E. Joe McElwee of Wayland.

Gladys Briggs said Ralph was going into the hospital for some repair work this week. We’ll be thinking of you, Ralph. Mrs. Sprenkle said her hubby found a job in Jacksonville, Fla.

I supported legislation that will require agencies to submit “small business economic impact statements” with proposed rules to be reviewed by the Joint Commit­ tee on Rules. If a proposed regulation has a disproportionate impact on smaller businesses, the agency will be required to revise the rule to reduce the cost of compliance. Prohibiting the Sale of Human Body Parts. Injec­ ting the profit motive into the transplanting of body parts has raised serious moral, social and public health questions. Recently Congress banned the in­ terstate sale of human organs for use in transplants. Following the federal lead, I voted for a similar prohibition against such sales within Michigan. Drunk Driving Task Force. This measure con­ tinues the existence of the state drunk driving task force so that it can complete its review and make recommendations regarding further education, treatment and enforcement steps to deal with drunk driving. My vote: yes. District Court Amendments. This package makes several changes in the district court system, in­ cluding: giving the small claims division jurisdic­ tion over cases involving damages up to $1,000 in 1985 and $1,500 in $986 — up from the previous level of $600; increasing filing fees: and expanding the authority of district court magistrates. I voted yes. Bad Checks. A recent survey indicated that bad checks totalling nbearly $500 per Michigan retailer are returned each week because of individuals who regularly and maliciously write bad checks. Under this new law, persons who refuse to fully cover the amount of the check within 30 days of being notified by the retailer will be liable for damages that are double the amount of the bounced check. Damages cannot be less than $50 or more than $500. My vote: yes. Pornography Restrictions. This comprehensive measure establishes a new state policy prohibiting the distribution of obscene material. The statutory test for what is “obscene” followed the guidelines outlined by the U. S. Supreme Court in 1979. To deal with criminal violators, fines up to $5 million may be imposed. I voted yes. Trust Fund Investments. To comply with federal policy, I supported legislation that will allow trust fund managers to invest in mortgage-backed securities that are issued or guaranteed by the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation. Prison “Rent”. This new law will allow the state TO THE MANY VALUED CUSTOMERS OF DEE'S STANDARD IN MIDDLEVILLE: As you may have noticed, there are fewer and fewer Amoco full service stations in the Western Michigan area. Amoco has changed its policy toward outlying areas and privately owned stations. It has been increasingly difficult to sell their products at a competitive price and stay in business. For this — and other reasons — we have been in con­ tact with other franchise jobbers in this area. One company and franchise jobber stands out above everybody else: Union 76. The Union Oil Company of California and their jobber, J & H Oil Company of Grand Rapids, handle a full line of petroleum products — including products for farm and industry. So — after 30 years at our corner, the Amoco sign will be coming down and a new Union 76 sign will be raised. We wish to thank you for your patronage in the past and hope we may continue to serve you in the future. For our many credit card customers, there will be a 90-day period during which we will honor all Major Credit cards without a 4€ a gallon surcharge. During this 90-day period, we will make the Union 76 credit card easily available to all eligible customers. There will be no 4c a gallon charge for the use of this card. Watch your newspaper for further details. The Management of MIDDLEVILLE 76 SERVICE to deny parole to prisoners who refuse to provide complete financial information needed to determine if they should be required to reimburse the state for incarceration costs. My vote: yes. Item Pricing Violations. The Consumer Item Pricing Act was enacted in 1976 to protect Michigan consumers from dishonest or deceptive selling practices. Amendments to that act will in­ crease the amount consumers who go to court can recover, from $200 to $250. However, consumers who seek reimbursements for unintentional over­ charges will now have to notify sellers in person and show evidence of losses by returning the sales receipts. I voted yes. Tightening a Tax Credit. I supported legislation specifying that contributions to a public broadcast station can only be claimed as a tax credit if the station was located in Michigan. Deferred Property Taxes. This measure will allow a city or township to waive the interest penalty due on delinquent summer property taxes from February 15 to the last day of February for the homestead of a senior citizen, widow, serviceman or disabled person. My vote: yes. Monitoring Commercial Driver Training Schools. I voted for a bill that will give the Secretary of State the authority to deny, suspend or revoke the license of a driver training school instructor for reasons such as fraud or deceptive business practices. Notary Bonding. Since 1846 notary publics have had to secure a $1,000 bond before performing notary services. Because losses today due to im­ proper notarization can be substantially higher, this new law will raise the required bonding leven to $10,000.1 votedyes.

The Sun and News, Middleville, Ml*/ Jan. 31,1985 / Pg. 5 RISC's Recycling Tips by Darlene Paulauski Recyclers in Barry County using the Hastings or Middleville sites need to be aware of an important change in the way glass will be recycled in the near future. Owens-Illinois, where the glass is recycled, will no longer accept green or brown glass. Only clear glass will be recycled at the factory. The colored glass will be taken to a different source. Therefore, a separate receptacle will be installed at each site to house the green and brown glass. RiBC would apprecite it if recyclers will save their colored glass until the new receptacles are in place. While we regret the change, we are encouraged that the outlook for continued recycling of the green and brown glass is good. The glass bin at the Hastings site was recently taken to Owens-Illinois to be recycled. The factory did accept the colored glass at that time, and almost 13 tons of glass was recycled. The total amount of material recycled at both sites in 1984 includes 27 tons of glass, 8 tons of tin and other metal, and 400 pounds of aluminum. These figures are an indication of the enthusiasm of people committed to preven­ ting unnecessary landfilling, saving our natural resources, and conserving energy. The annual survey of Barry County participants in the oil recycling program was completed by RiBC this month. Most of the participants who collect used oil reported an increase in the amount collected over last year. A few of the participants ar^ paying nominal amounts for used oil, and others are con­ Week of February 4 sidering doing the same.

Middle School Basketball------- TK Eighth Grade TK 46 - Kelloggsville 33 The Trojan eighth grade basketball team defeated Kelloggsville 46-33 on January 18 to improve their record to 5-3. The game was even through the first quarter as the teams exchanged baskets. The Trojans tried to run with a much quicker Kelloggsville team during the first quarter but soon realized that was not their game. As the second quarter progressed, the Trojans slowed down the game and took control by outscoring Kelloggsville 16-6 to take a 24-14 half­ time lead. During the third quarter the Trojans con­ tinued to build on their lead.The Trojan bench began to see action in the third and fourth quarters.

A & B Teams Lose to Scots The TK Eighth Grade basketball team lost to Caledonia 39-27 on January 23 to drop its record to 5-4. The first quarter was all Caledonia as they could do nothing wrong and the Trojans could do nothing right. Caledonia was able to build a 14-6 first quar­ ter lead. The Trojans shook off the shock of the first quarter and played even through the second quar­ ter, but could not cut into the early lead. The third quarter was a replay of the second as the Trojans played even but could not cut into Caledonia ’s lead. The fourth quarter saw the Trojans missing numerous easy shots that could have gotten them back into the ball game. Leading the scoring was Dave French with 14 followed by Mesecar 8, D. Surdam and Strater 2 each and Todd Sprague 1. The B-team also lost to Caledonia 36-27. The team played well but could not match the hot outcourt shooting of Caledonia. The B team’s record now stands at 2-1. Scoring for the Trojans were S. Palmer 7, M.Scott 4, S. Parker 4, E. Seubring 4, Scott A. Jackson and Jeff Carter 2 each and M. Kaechele, P. Boeskool, M. Smith and B. Thompson with 1 apiece. Middleville's undefeated Junior Varsity basket­ ball team continued their roll last Tuesday night by downing Caledonia 60-49. The game was tight all the way to the end. Caledonia, in the coach’s opinion, was the best team the Trojans have played so far. Randy Stickney and Doug Fox were a dynamite duo in both halves as they led the way in scoring and rebounding. The other scoring came from the guard positions as Kurt Henry and Mark Verlinde both scored 10 points each. Stickney and Fox had 20 and 18 points respectively and also had 11 rebounds apiece. This victory makes the JV team 9-0 and 7-0 in the league. Delton Invitational Caledonia wrestlers earning honors at the Delton Invitational on Saturday were Keith Tubergen 4th, Troy Shane 2nd.

TK Seventh Grade OK Blue Tournament The TK Seventh Grade basketball team won their first game in the OK Blue Tournament over Lee 3814 to advance to the semi-final against Kelloggsville on Wednesday. The game was not much of a contest as the Trojans led at the end of the first quarter 136. All 19 Trojans saw action as 8 players scored. Leading the scoring was Mike Millhouse with 9, followed by Bill Atkinson 8, Corey Dean 7, Jim Grube 6, Chad Peters, Tad Thatcher, Howard DeWent and Chris Ayers 2 each. The young Trojans are now 8 wins and 2 losses. Kelloggsville 39 - TK 35 The TK seventh grade basketball team suffered their second loss of the season at the hands of a very good and undefeated Kelloggsville. The Trojans seemed in awe of the great size advantage the Rockets had in the first quarter and fell behind 23-5. The Rocket and Trojan starters left the game before the first quarter was over, and in the second quarter the Trojan reserves started a comeback and trailed at the half 26-13. Both team starters played almost all of the second half and the gutty Trojans started a fantastic comeback. They cut the Rocket lead to 4 points with less than 2 minutes remaining, but en­ ded up losing 39-35. Mike Millhouse scored 10 poin­ ts, Atkinson 6, Dean 10, Steve Miner, Grube, Rob Lawrence, Chris Ayers and Thatcher 2 each. TK 43 - Caledonia 37 The Caledonia game was postponed on Tuesday because of the weather and was held on Wednesday. The Trojans were very cold in the first half as they led by 1, 17-16 at the half. In the second half the Trojan press started to give Caledonia some trouble as they ran up as much as a 10 point lead before they finally won 43-37. The game was won at the free throw line as the Trojans sank 17-30 attempts, compared to Caledonia 1 - 6. Corey Dean led the scoring as he made 8 • 10 free throws and ended with 16 points. Atkinson controlled the rebounding which helped him score 13 points. Millhouse had 6, Miner 4 and Grube 4. The Trojans ended their regular season at 7 wins, 2 losses.

Governor Blanchard declared a “state of disaster” exists in Allegan, Barry, and several other counties. Such a declaration allows the MSHDA board to raise the Authority’s income limits for home improvement loans in the affected counties above the current statewide limit of approximately $20,000. Based on a formula in MSHDA’s general rules, the income limits in the 13 counties will range from $33,721 in Allegan County to $47,933 in Lapeer, Livingston and Oakland counties. Applications must be made to a participating len­ ding institution by April 2, 1985. The interest rate on loans for higher-income homeowners will be 10 percent, with up to 15 years to repay. The minimum loan is $500 and the maximum, $15,000. The loans may be used to cover uninsured storm damage to the homeowner’s principal residence, such as roof or window repairs, siding replacement, or basement renovation if there was flooding as a result of the storm. Loan applicants should have verification that the loss is not covered by insurance, proof of home ownership such as a mortgage or land contract, and income verification, and should have identified the licensed contractor or the materials to be purchased (if the homeowner is to perform the work.) Lenders normally take about five working days to complete the loan process, according to the Authority. In Barry County, the First of America Bank in Delton will take applications. Income limit in the county is $41,189. TK Boosters To Meet Monday The TK Boosters will meet on Monday night, February 11, 7:30 p.m. in the Middle School Library.

Hillegonds on State House Taxation Committee State Representative Paul Hillegonds said he will be in a stronger position to influence state tax policies in the next two years by virtue of increased Republican membership on the House Taxation Committee. Hillegonds is one of nine Republicans on the 20member committee, where the debate will be waged over the administration's property tax proposal and the Republican income tax rollback bill. “The Governor's one-shot, $65 million increase in property tax relief is small change to the property owners who are eligible,’’ Hillegonds said. “I think it makes more sense to lower the incore tax rate or increase the $1500 personal exemption. It hasn’t been raised since 1974 and inflation has eroded its value to $700 in 1974 dollars. “The property tax scheme is an unfair redistribution of the surplus accrued from the Blan­ chard tax hike of 1983 and patently unfair to the people who footed the bill but don’t receive property tax credits.’’ Hillegonds will be ranking Republican on the newly created House Oversight Committee. Con­ sidered the Legislature’s leading advocate for review and termination of outdated and innefective state progrsm, Hillegonds was influential in the establishment of the committee. “House Oversight promises to be one of the most active, potentially powerful committees in the legislature,’’ he said. “I think it will serve as a balance to the appropriating process and will broaden the public debate over spending priorities. I plan to make a serious attempt to structure an organized evaluation process in the committee.” Hillegonds, who has introduced a nine-bill package to complete reforms of the state’s workers’ compensation system, will also serve another term on the House Labor Committee. “I hope the package serves as the basis for negotiations on the issues that are real stumbling blocks to Michigan's business climate. We’ve talked about them for years, and it’s time to do somethin." Hillegonds worked on the state s workers’ com­ pensation package in 1981, and anticipates being appointed to the negotiating team on this second round.

In our neighborhood there are both farmers and homeowners. The land in and around the hilltop area is used for farm animals and planting crops. My children and I enjoy the farming atmosphere, from seeing an occasional tractor, to visiting the Week of February 11 neighboring farms to see the baby calves and chickens.

All who were against this re-zoning signed the High/Middle School Monday: Fishwiches w/tartar sauce, cole slaw, petition. We had 80% of our neighborhood sign. The petition was taken to the zoning board peaches, milk. Tuesday: Italian spaghetti, garlic bread, carrots, meeting on January 28. Some of the people in the neighborhood attended also. We at the meeting were pears, milk. Wednesday: Pizza, sweet potatoes or yellow told that we do not know what’s good for us. Or should I quote the board, “You do not know and do beans, applesauce, milk. Thursday: Chili, celery/carrot sticks, not realize the protection you need.’’ We felt our petition was ignored, and we had been talked to cheese/crackers, sandwich, fruit, milk.

All of the bills have been signed into law by the Governor. One controversial measure which was defeated narrowly in the House also deserves mention. That bill would have required drivers and their front seat passengers to wear their seatbelts. I voted yes, and plan to cast a similar vote this year. The evidence is overwhelming that seatbelt usage saves lives, reduces injuries and cuts public and private health care costs. Cost Sharing for Medicaid Services. I supported a bill that will eliminate the requirement that counties “reimburse” the state for nursing home services provided to Medicaid patients in county facilities for those days when patients themselves have paid for care. This should save counties nearly $1.7 million annually. Food Stamp Distribution Contracts. This bill is in response to charges by private vendors that the state has shown favoritism toward some food stamp distributors. The measure establishes criteria which the state must follow in contracting with vendors to distribute food stamps - including the use of com­ petitive bidding. I voted yes. Improving No-Fault. Accidents leading to disputes between no-fault auto insurers over coverage have sometimes left insured citizens caught in the middle, waiting for their payments. I voted for legislation that authorizes the state “Assigned Claims Facility” to pay legitimate claims until such disputes are settled. Candidate Identification. These bills will require candidates for city, village and school board offices to file identification affidavits as well as the already required nominating petitions. My vote: yes. Taxing Banks. A recent U.S. Supreme Court decision left the Single Business Tax open to con­ stitutional challenge as that tax has been applied to financial institutions. I supported legislation to maintain state taxation of banks by calculating U. S. and state bond interest in the same manner. Laboratory Licensing Fees. To maintain the in­ spection and licensing program for clinical laboratories, I voted for a bill raising laboratory licensing fees from $270 to $475 per year. General fund dollars are also used to support this health and safety activity. Charter Township Change. Under the previous law, a township was required to have a population of at least 5,000 before it could incorporate as a charter township by resolution of its board. Now the town­ ship will only need a population of 2,000 to take the same step. My vote: yes. Due-on-Sale. A complex bill, this measure will prohibit lendors from enforcing due-on-sale clauses (that is, clauses allowing lendors to call loans due upon the sale of property) in certain circumstances. I voted yes. Advocate for the Deaf. I supported a measure creating by law a State Mental Health Advisory Council on Deafness to identify current mental health needs of deaf persons. This volunteer citizen group has functioned effectively, but without statutory authority, since 1981. Shared Housing for the Elderly. Residential housing shared by unrelated persons is a desirable alternative to low-income projects or institutional settings for elderly people who cannot afford or choose not to live alone. This package will allow the State Housing Development Authority to make grants for a two year pilot project administered by the Office of Services to the Aging. Funds will be used to develop model shared housing arrangemen­ ts. Mo vote: yes. Family Subsidy Coverage. The Family Support Subsidy Act of 1983 provides financial aid for per­ sons caring for their developmentally disabled children at home. I voted for an amendment to that program which will allow coverage for families with autistic children who have been placed in regular special education programs approved by the State Board of Education. Farm Equipment Franchises. This measure will require franchise suppliers of farm and utility equipment to repurchase the inventories of retail dealers whose contracts have been terminated. My vote: yes. CAPITOL COLUMN by RICHARD POSTHUMUS STATE SENATOR Although it may seem that the dust is just set­ tling from the last election, work has already begun on ballot proposals for 1986. One of those proposals is a joint House-Senate effort which would add an amendment to the Michigan Constitution assuring voters the right, by petition, to accept or reject any tax increase passed by the State Legislature. Under the measure, a special election will bring any tax increase before Michigan voters, if petitions containing five percent of the number of votes cast for Governor in the previous election (currently about 150,000) are collected. It must be held within 75 days after the signatures are filed, unless a general election is scheduled to be held within 60 to 90 days. If an election is already scheduled, the question would be placed on that ballot. FOR THE MOST If a simple majority approves the proposal, then tax will continue. If it is voted down, the tax will IMPORTANT DAY OF the stop ten days after the election results are certified. The sentiment to downsize government in YOUR LIFE Michigan is widespread. In 1984, two state senators were recalled from office after supporting the Blan­ chard 38-percent income tax increase. And Proposal See us for . . . C, which would have placed all tax increases before voters, whether they were objectionable or not, was seriously considered before eventually being Carlson Craft defeated. INVITATIONS This proposal is an attempt to retain the Legislature’s ability to impose tax changes, while ENCLOSURES also allowing voters the right to respond to those NAPKINS changes. Michigan residents have had the right to a THANK YOGS referendum since 1913; but unfortunately, that RECEPTION ITEMS right does not apply to all laws. Appropriation bills, TTENDANTS GIFTS for example, are immune from referendum action. In the past, some tax increases have been combined with appropriations bills for that reason — so that Let your WEDDING no referendum action could be taken. This proposal STATIONERY be m would ensure that voters will be able to take vidual as you are. Choose referendum action on any tax increase, regardless of from our wide selection of contemporary Carlson whether or not it is attached to another piece of Craft wedding stationery. legislation. Before the proposal goes before the voters, however, two-thirds of both the House and Senate chambers must approve it. Only then will it be placed on the 1986 ballot. This proposal will provide some recourse for voters who feel left out of the system, and make government more responsive to the voters in this 124 E. Main St. Middleville, Mi. 795-3345 state.

Crumback Jr. High Wrestlers Have Perfect Season �(*g. 8 / The Sun and News, Middleville, Ml I Feb. 7,1985 ---- —------------------------------- > Down Memory Lane WITH NORMA VELDERMAN <_____ _ ________________ ' The William Arthur Cridler's The William Arthur Cridler family of Thomapple goes back three generations, to a Mr. and Mrs. Cridler emigrating from Germany to Pennsylvania. In that state son Frederick was born. He moved to Steuben County, New York, where he married and had four sons and four daughters, one son being Simeon, father of the first Wm. Cridler. Wm. Cridler was born in Mt. Morris, Livingston Co., N.Y., February 3, 1838. After completing his education, he spent nineteen terms as a teacher. In 1870 he moved to Michigan, taking up 120A in Sec. 6 Rutland Twp., Barry Co., adding 40A later. In 1879 he bought 100A in Sec. 21 Thornapple Twp., increasing the acreage to 200A. This was one of the finest pieces of land in the area and was handed down from 1879 to 1955. In 1865 Wm. Cridler married Mary Celestia Sylvester, who died in May, 1870. On January 21, 1900, he then married a widow, Annie Orcelia Wilcox with one son, George A. Wilcox. Annie and William had one son Arthur L. Cridler bom May 24, 1875. He died July 21,1921. William was very abtive in community life, holding public offices in both Rutland and Thomap­ ple Twp. They were both active in the Masonic Lodge and the Methodist Church. Wm. died Nov. 8, 1906, Annie Orcellia died August 21,1921. They are both buried in the I.O.O.F. part of Mt. Hope Cemetery. , , Arthur L. married Lottie Brown of Canada, who was one of ten children. They had three children: Paul Simeon B-8-15-1903; D-2-10-34 Wm. Arthur B-4-10-1907; D 8-7-78 Reginald B-12-20-1912; D-3-16-84 When their father died, Paul was 19, Bill 14 and Reginald 9. Then Lottie and the two older sons ran the farm. Lottie was very active in community affairs. She was selected as Farm Woman of the Year by MSU and Farmers Wife, charter member of the Prairie Literary Club, Extension, and very active in Eastern Star. Through six generations, the Cridler family have been active in the Methodist Church on both sides of the family. In 1927 Paul and William purchased a 100A farm in Section 28 Thomapple Twp., the present home of Bob and Helen Wenger. Paul, William and Reginald all attended short courses at MSU’s School of Agriculture. On June 29, 1929, Wm. A. married Blanche Smith of Mulliken. They had met while both were atten­ ding MSU. February 10, 1934 a spark from the fire used in thawing a frozen pipe in the well pit set the straw on fire. Paul went down to put out the fire and was overcome by smoke before his brothers could rescue him. In 1939 the community was shocked by Lottie’s sudden death on March 7. No one had realized she was ill. Reginald then operated the dairy farm and later on an implement dealership until selling in 1955. Bill and Blanch increased their 100A dairy farm on Sec. 28 Thomapple Twp. to 344 acres. They lived Not Enough Hours In Your Day?

Bill was on the Barry County Board of Com­ missioners, Thornapple Twp. Supervisor for 12 years, County Clerk for three terms, a member of the Rotary Club, Masonic Lodge and a very active member of the Republican party until his retirement in 1974. All of his friends, co-workers and neighbors and the Republicans held a big retirement banquet to thank him for his tireless efforts in helping others. Blanch was also very active in Extension, Garden, Literary, Hospital and Quilting clubs. They had three children: Joyce Ann, Helen and Dean. Joyce married Rod Yates of Charlotte, Mich, and they have four daughters, Susan, Cynthia, Judith and Katherine. Susan, an M.D. married Mark Weimeyer. They now live in Mass, with their two children, Christopher, Jessie /deceased) and David. Cynthia, the second girl, lives in California. Judith married Paul Williams, and resides in St. Paul, Minn., where they both are M.D.’s. Katherine lives in Ft. Wayne, Ind. Helen married Bob Wenger from Alto. They have six children: Christina, Martin, Phillip. Mary, Daniel and Thaddeus. Christina married Ed Gibson of Middleville. They live in Kent County with their three sons, Nathan, John and Michael. Martin married Cynthia Palmer of Middleville. They live on one of the home farms with their two children, Chanda and Noah. Phillip married Becky Count of Middleville. They also live on a nearby farm with their son Travis. Mary married Doug Newman of Middleville. They live in Howard City with their two sons, Matthew and Jacob. Daniel married Anne Bryans of Mid­ dleville and they live on another family farm in Yankee Springs Township. Thad is still living at home. All of the Wenger boys work with their dad on the Rob-Len Farms. Helen and Bob followed the family tradition on both sides of being very active in the community. Bob’s family, the Verne Wengers, were always very active members in the communities of Alto and Caledonia. Helen is carrying on her family tradition of heavy involvement in the community. Bob was President of the Barry County Farm Bureau, h e’s on the Legislative Committee of the Federal Land Bank, President of the Caledonia Farmers Elevator and is on the AgriLand board. Helen serves on the County Social Services Board, the Hospice Board and is active in the United Methodist Church. Dean had three children, William, David and Jolene. Dean now lives in the south. Reginald married Virginia Smith and they hac four children: Reginald Grant Jr., Judith, Stepher and Ann. Reg. Jr. married Diane Denio and the} have two daughters, Cathryn and Kimberly. Judith married Wm. Clair of Washington, D.C. Stepher married Judith Putney of Kent County and they live in Lowell. Ann Cridler has one daughter, Natasha, and lives in Pennsylvania. One of my earliest memories of Bill Cridler when we moved into the community in 1950, was Bill yelling at Johnny. We were just starting out - we did have a tractor, but not much else. So, John was hauling manure out by the wheelbarrow to the bar­ nyard. Bill had stopped many times and told John to use his spreader. But John was brought up to never borrow things from your neighbors. So he wouldn’t borrow the spreader. Finally one morning when Bill went by, he came in the yard, unhitched the spreader, came in the house and said “Now...... there’s the spreader’’ and left. Of course, Bill was equally as proud. John always liked to help Bill with baling. But John soon learned he had to keep an eye on Bill when he went by with the baler. He’d quit whatever he was doing and go help Bill. Bill wouldn’t ask either, so John had to check up on him also. Nowdays with the terrible high price ol machinery, the farmers swap tools and help each other, sometimes by going in company for lightly used tools. That seems to be the only way they car each take care of their large farms. 500 N. HIGH STREET ANY QUESTIONS?

Of course, in order to gain access without revealing my identity as a “reporter”, I had to do something incredibly stupid — like a large bend-andstretch in a confined area. And there it was - at least a one-inch gash across the knuckle of my left forefinger. Okay, dad, this needs stitches - let’s go! And there it was - the drama, the tension, the blood, the sirens screaming -- and that was just on the Clint Eastwood movie on the waiting room TV! Inside, the situation was somewhat changed as everything and everyone was cared for with quiet ef­ ficiency. The youngster with the smashed finger and the one with the cut chin were quieted with a lollipop while staff cared for a more immediate emergency. Tom came in to check the progress of my wait during the commercials -- and I was left to contem­ plate. Jt almost seemed like a conspiracy that the doctor was putting in the last of 10 stitches just as our hero of the silver screen was winding into the grand finale. Thinking back over the times I have been in the E.R. with someone else, my observance is that it’s much easier to be the one one the table, no matter how dumb the method used to get there, “waiting and wondering” is the very hardest of all. Friday night Don and Kay Link went out to eat with daughter Robin and her children Sara and Renee. Paula and Elgie Walters and family went to Elgie's sister’s in Nashville Saturday for a family get together that included 24 people. Rodney Bracy’s sister Avis and her family visited her on Saturday, and Sunday Rod, Kathy and Terry visited Lynnwood and Bonnie Bracy at Charlotte. Wendy VanRhee and Matt Gross enjoyed the Shrine Circus on Sunday. Vance and Diane Hoskins have been intrigued watching a screech owl that is nesting outside their living room window. Belated congratulations to Fred and Letha Buckingham who celebrated their 53rd wedding an­ niversary on January 24 with a quiet day at home. The Phil Benders family went tobogganing with the youth at Echo Valley on Saturday and ended up the Wesleyan Church youth week with an open house at the Eldon Dodd home Sunday afternoon. Ruth Klump is happy to be back in her own home but also very grateful for family who took her in and took care of her when she couldn’t be on her own. LOCAL CHURCH DIRECTORY ST.

So if any of you Florida folks need a ride home the first or second week in April, drop us a line. We may be able to “do good for each other.” Our family in Kentucky tells me they had 12 in­ ches of snow in Wilmore last weekend - and their count of ‘snow days’ from school is now up to 19! They are feeling just a little smug, however, for all the neighbors who chided the Michigan folks for moving their snow shovels ‘down south’ with them are now coming to borrow same. Somehow, a foot of snow is a lot to sweep! Roving Reporter with HAZEL McCAUL Weather a little better but still cold. Have taken in flowers for a week and covered the planter too. All the folks have been watching their plants. Tuesday Emma Jane and Maurice Ingraham from Zephyrhills were our dinner guests. We had a good visit. Clarke knew Maurice from “school days” in Hastings. Wednesday I had a foot doctor appointment for general checkup, but had a bad ‘big toe nail’ on my right foot, so ended up with the removal of thenail on each side, and now should have no more ingrown nail trouble. So far all is well. Thursday we attended the “Breakfast Club” in Bradenton Municipal Auditorium, then out to din­ ner with the group. The Cooks and Bernice Marble are fine and busy as are all the retired folk. Saturday we went with a group of senior citizens to Sea World near Disney World. Those “sharks,” especially Shamu the 4500 pounder. What he can do with that hulk. The Ski Show and other water animal features we saw were all wonderful and ex­ citing. Had a phone call from Leon and Marian Colborn telling us all about the weather. Better stay put, they say, for a while anyway. Also a nice letter from the Kermeens.

Ml I Feb. 7.1985 / Prairie Sketches with LOIS BREMER and JANETTE VAN RHEE With an amazing lack of activity on the Prairie, or my amazing lack of knowledge of such activity, I took myself off to the E.R. of the local health care emporium this weekend to report back to you. Of course, in order to gain access without revealing my identity as a “reporter”, I had to do something incredibly stupid — like a large bend-andstretch in a confined area. And there it was - at least a one-inch gash across the knuckle of my left forefinger. Okay, dad, this needs stitches - let’s go! And there it was - the drama, the tension, the blood, the sirens screaming -- and that was just on the Clint Eastwood movie on the waiting room TV! Inside, the situation was somewhat changed as everything and everyone was cared for with quiet ef­ ficiency. The youngster with the smashed finger and the one with the cut chin were quieted with a lollipop while staff cared for a more immediate emergency. Tom came in to check the progress of my wait during the commercials -- and I was left to contem­ plate. 4t almost seemed like a conspiracy that the doctor was putting in the last of 10 stitches just as our hero of the silver screen was winding into the grand finale. Thinking back over the times I have been in the E.R. with someone else, my observance is that it’s much easier to be the one one the table, no matter how dumb the method used to get there, “waiting and wondering” is the very hardest of all. Friday night Don and Kay Link went out to eat with daughter Robin and her children Sara and Renee. Paula and Elgie Walters and family went to Elgie’s sister’s in Nashville Saturday for a family get together that included 24 people. Rodney Bracy’s sister Avis and her family visited her on Saturday, and Sunday Rod, Kathy and Terry visited Lynnwood and Bonnie Bracy at Charlotte. Wendy VanRhee and Matt Gross enjoyed the Shrine Circus on Sunday. Vance and Diane Hoskins have been intrigued watching a screech owl that is nesting outside their living room window. Belated congratulations to Fred and Letha Buckingham who celebrated their 53rd wedding an­ niversary on January 24 with a quiet day at home. The Phil Benders family went tobogganing with the youth at Echo Valley on Saturday and ended up the Wesleyan Church youth week with an open house at the Eldon Dodd home Sunday afternoon. Ruth Klump is happy to be back in her own home but also very grateful for family who took her in and took care of her when she couldn’t be on her own. LOCAL CHURCH DIRECTORY ST.

(Husband) Tom and I will be attending a wedding in Florida towards the end of March and there's a chance he may stay on a few more weeks - after all, he’ll be retired then, why not? So if any of you Florida folks need a ride home the first or second week in April, drop us a line. W’e may be able to “do good for each other.” Our family in Kentucky tells me they had 12 in­ ches of snow in Wilmore last weekend - and their count of ‘snow days’ from school is now up to 19! They are feeling just a little smug, however, for all the neighbors who chided the Michigan folks for moving their snow shovels ‘down south’ with them are now coming to borrow same. Somehow, a foot of snow is a lot to sweep! Roving Reporter with HAZEL McCAUL Weather a little better but still cold. Have taken in flowers for a week and covered the planter too. All the folks have been watching their plants. Tuesday Emma Jane and Maurice Ingraham from Zephyrhills were our dinner guests. We had a good visit. Clarke knew Maurice from “school days” in Hastings. Wednesday I had a foot doctor appointment for general checkup, but had a bad ‘big toe nail’ on my right foot, so ended up with the removal of thenail on each side, and now should have no more ingrown nail trouble. So far all is well. Thursday we attended the “Breakfast Club” in Bradenton Municipal Auditorium, then out to din­ ner with the group. The Cooks and Bernice Marble are fine and busy as are all the retired folk. Saturday we went with a group of senior citizens to Sea World near Disney World. Those “sharks,” especially Shamu the 4500 pounder. What he can do with that hulk. The Ski Show and other water animal features we saw were all wonderful and ex­ citing. Had a phone call from Leon and Marian Colborn telling us all about the weather. Better stay put, they say, for a while anyway. Also a nice letter from the Kermeens. Busy as usual with their family and granddaughter Marina Dettman.

To help those folks who may have trouble shoveling out a nearby hydrant, the Scouts from Troop 105 will do the job, said Fire Chief Bob Kenyon. Just call the Scoutmaster, Chuck Baughman, at 795-7373 and he’ll send the troops right over!

Board Minutes Addition The following paragraph was omitted from the minutes of the regular meeting of the Thornapple Kellogg Board of Education held on February 4, 1985 and published in the February 7 issue of The Sun and News: “Motion by Elies, seconded by Verlinde, to ap­ prove the Curriculum Council recommendations regarding Computer curriculum. Yeas, all. Nays, none. Motion carried. CE 14 •85 �Pg. 2 I The Sun and News, Middleville, Ml I Feb. 14,1985 Woman's Whirl by JOANNE BOYSEN Sitting in the “Sun” office, one has a window on Main Street. Cars struggling out of parking spaces and up the hills, snow blowing off roof tops, bundled up walkers hurrying through the cold, but the thing that struck me as amusing was the pickup truck with a child's wading pool in the back! Do you sup­ pose it was wishful thinking or someone's way of thumbing his nose at old man winter?! As our water pipes have frozen, ice has backed up on the roof, and the gas and electric meters go around faster and faster trying to warm our homes, we think with envy of our sunbelt neighbors. All things considered, however, I think we fare much better coping with winter than those people who just aren't equipped to handle it. One of my aunts who flew in last week from southern Alabama said that it seemed colder to her in Montgomery where she had boarded the plane on a damp, windy, cold day than here. My mother’s brother died very suddenly last week, the third sibling in less than a year and a half, two of them as they carried on their daily routine. It was a terrible shock to the survivors. Three aunts and an uncle braved our bitter cold to be with the Michigan family members. In spite of their sorrow at losing their brother, it was a warm family gathering as my only brother also flew in from southern California, and our children joined my parents in offering what support and consolation we could to my uncle's children and grandchildren. It was a time for sharing remembrances of childhood and growing up in a small town and on a farm, recalling my uncle's travels as a young man when he worked in the citrus groves of Florida, on a dredge on the Mississippi River, in a hotel in Arkansas, and finally became a Michigan farmer. My dad was not only eventually a brother-in-law, but had been a neighbor and best friend since childhood, with only a month’s difference in age. It’s a sobering thought that as these ties with the older generation are broken, it is not only possible, but probable that contact with my uncle’s grandchildren and great­ grandchildren, and maybe even some of the children will be permanently broken. As the snow piled up this week, the best we can do is cross off each day, knowing we’re that much closer to spring. It’s nice to have the days noticeably longer, and we mark the half way point of February by observing Valentine's Day. Happy Valentine’s Day! Thought about giving you a high calorie recipe for a luscious dessert, but maybe a better idea is to take your valentine out for dinner and plan to have this casserole for dinner the next night - sort of help balance the budget. Our thanks to Florence Doornbos (who also had some very kind words about our “Sun and News Cookbook” which we much appreciate) for this tasty, stick-to-yourribs dish for a cold winter day.

THE BUSY PERSON If you want to get a favor done By some obliging friend, And want a promise safe and sure on which you may depend, Dont go to them who always had Much leisure time to plan. But if you want your favor done. Just ask the busy one. The person of leisure never has A moment they can spare; They're busy "puttingoff'until their friends are in despair; But those whose every waking hour is crowded full of work. Forgets the art of wasting time — They cannot stop to shirk. So when you want a favor done, And want it right away, Go to the person who constantly Works 20 hours a day. They 'll find a moment somewhere That has no other use, And fix you while the idle one is framing an excuse.

Main St. Middleville, Mi. 795-3345 ILETTERS Comments from our readers are welcome to be ex­ pressed in this column. All letters to be considered must be signed a.Kl the author's name will be printed. We cannot withhold names for any reason. The views expressed here are not necessarily those of The Sun and News. The letter from Barbara Bedrick in last week's Sun and News concerning the change of zoning classification for Hilltop Estates prompts me to write this reply. Basically, zoning of property is an attempt for some kind of order in how we use the land during our stewardship of it during our lifetime. People have found that when unlike enterprises mix. it can have a detrimental effect on the quality of life and on the actual values of the property. More often than not, zoning usually reflects how land is being used and how the majority of the people who own it want to use it. It would be foolish, to say the least, to zone prime agricultural land as commercial, or good building areas as industrial. Hilltop Estates, when it came into being over 15 years ago, was in an agricultural area. It was plat­ ted, however, and deed restrictions were drawn to protect the buyers of homesites about how and what could be built. Some years later the Barry County Zoning plan was put into effect and Thornapple Township had an input on how they wished the township as a whole to be zoned. The Agriculture Residential zone (AR) encompassed much of the eastern half of the township, including Hilltop. Conversely, the western half of the township that contains some of the county’s prime agricultural lands, was designated as “A”. Through the years the Hilltop growth has been fulfilled. Nearly every lot (37 in all) has been built upon with good quality homes. In looking at the subdivision and checking its deed restrictions, the Township found that an R-l zone more nearly defined the area than an AR zone. That is why the Township Board recommended the change to the Barry County Zoning and Planning Board. The Township Board has no intention of changing adjacent AR lands to an R-l zone. Farming as is now being conducted will not be affected because Hilltop is R-l. We do not think that this change will mean re-assessment of the homes in Hilltop, any more than it did on Bouman Drive when their zone was changed to R-l from AR a number of years ago. One other point Mrs. Bedrick made deserves a reply. She stated that “most of us know from ex­ perience that re-assessment means an increase in taxes. The zoning board promises us this will not happen, but do taxes ever stay the same? Gover­ nment officials at every level have broken promises to the people before. ’ ’ First of all, let me point out that Hilltop Estates has never been re-assessed. The original assessments on those houses are still the base of the current assessments. When assessments went up a number of years ago, it was a township­ wide factor applied to all properties. And, if Mrs. Bedrick will look at her tax bills over the past three years, she will find there has been no change in her assessment. (And, we might add, they will not be changing for 1985, either!). Secondly, the zoning board cannot and did not at the hearing I attended promise that assessments would not change. The zoning board has nothing to do with assessing; that job is the responsibility of the assessing officer of the township. And, lastly, the statement that ‘government of­ ficials at every level have broken promises’ bothers me. If your township officials — which is the “lowest” level of government official — have broken any promises, we would like them pointed out. Every member of the Thornapple Township board is a local citizen trying to do the best job he or she knows how, in making a democratic society fun­ ction. We may make honest mistakes in judgement, but please don’t question our integrity. As we said to the people from Hilltop who atten­ ded the public hearing. If you don’t trust your local township officials, we’re in danger of losing what self-government is all about.” Donald Boysen Thornapple Township Supervisor TK Community Ed 3-Man Basketball February 6 l-L.

CAPITOL COLUMN by RICHARD POSTHUMUS STATE SENATOR Car theft is a big business - and getting bigger. In 1983, 67,235 cars were stolen in Michigan, an increase of 40% from five years before. State of­ ficials expect 1984 figures to show more than 75,000 car thefts. Police say that car theft is on the rise because it is a low-risk, high-profit business. To make a dent in rising car thefts, then, the risk will have to increase and the profit decrease. That’s what is behind legislation introduced in the Senate making it harder to sell stolen-car parts. It is aimed at more than 100 “chop shops,’’ where stolen cars are dismantled, and the individual parts sold to used parts stores. Under the proposed bill, a person selling parts to a used parts dealer would have to identify himself by name, birth date, driver’s license number, address and fingerprint. Also, the seller couldn’t be paid in cash, but in a more traceable form of payment such as check, money order or bank draft. A copy of the transac­ tion would also have to be signed by both parties and filled out in triplicate, with one copy sent to the local police department. The bill was prompted by debate last year after hearings on the state’s Essential Insurance Act. The Essential Insurance Act, enacted in 1981, for­ ces insurance companies to distribute the cost of in­ suring high-risk clients, such as those in Detroit, over all their clients. So, when car thefts cause in­ surance rates to go up for those in a high-theft area, we all pay the consequences. Until the incidence of theft is reduced, we will con­ tinue to pay a higher price on insurance premiums whether we happen to live in a high-risk area or not. If car theft becomes a high-risk, low-profit venture, we are well on our way to a reduction in an escalating trend. Making it harder to sell “hot’’ car parts is one step in that direction. and ACCESSORIES by Carlson Crah Invitations Announcements Enclosures, Napkins Reception Items r GEUKES 1 Custom Meat Processing Attendants Gifts The Sun and News 124 E.

We helped them celebrate a 24th wedding anniver­ sary by taking them to dinner at Duff’s, then a ride to the beach. They went wading - not me. tho. Just had a phone call from Lorna Baker and family from Wayland. All well but cold. I will attend the Hobby and Craft show Friday at Oak Grove. More later. HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY BY REPRESENTATIVE BOB BENDER New Session off to a Slow Start We are finally off and running in the current legislative session. An aborted coup attempt again­ st House Speaker Gary Owen delayed the entire committee appointing process, so we were somewhat slow getting started. My committee assignments (after coming just a whisker away from an appointment on the powerful appropriations committee) will remain substantially the same as last year, with the only change being removal from the Social Services Committee and adding the Education Committee. In addition, I will remain on the Agriculture, Corrections, and Military & Veteran’s Affairs Committees. As is the case in every session, much of the early weeks are spent on the budget for the next fiscal year. This process begins with the Governor proposing his budget, the legislature going over it with a fine tooth comb, making whatever changes are deemed appropriate, then sending it in its final form to the Governor for his signature. This year’s general fund budget, which will begin October 12, 1985, is $5.65 billion. While the ad­ ministration officially labels it a “zero growth” plan, it is actually a 2.4 percent increase over the current general fund allocation. Education will once again be favored in fiscal 1986 as the administration proposes an increase of more than $300 million in spending for elementary, secondary and higher education. The K-12 budget will draw the largest increase, about $175 million, which will boost per-pupil aid by 9.2 percent. Financial assistance to state colleges and univer­ sities will rise by about $120 million. The Governor will also propose a $25 million research grant for the University of Michigan, Michigan State University, Wayne State University and Michigan Technological University. If spending is to increase in education, cuts have to be made elsewhere. It appears the reductions will be made in the Department of Social Services, as the adminstration has forecast a smaller welfare caseload for fiscal 1986. I applaud the Governor’s efforts to spend more money on education and less on welfare, and will work towards that goal. Misak. Cordelia Myers. David Newhouse, Jeffrey Page.

If we can pull together and play up to our potential, we could finish near the top of the conference. ” The Trojans made it to the semi-finals of the Delton Invitational before losing to Belding (4th in Class C Rankings). TK fell to Three Rivers in the consolation finals, while conference foe Hamilton was busy upsetting Belding, 13-15, 15-8, 15-2, in the championship match. Members of the Trojan Varsity Volleyball team are Kelly Biermacher, Dawn Bos. Karyn Elies, Abby Garner, Brenda Page, Lenda Vandal, Monique Weesie, Taleese and Trena Yonkers. The Trojans will wind up their conference schedule with games against Kelloggsville on Thursday, Byron Center on Friday and Caledonia on Monday. Tonight’s game against Kelloggsville will be the Trojans final home game of the season. Seniors Dawn Bos, Karyn Elies and Abby Garner will be recognized before the var­ sity match. The Junior Varsity game will begin at 6:15. with the varsity match starting at approximately 7:15. The Trojans will begin play in the conference tour­ nament next Thursday night at Byron Center. HOW TO DRY YOUR WET BOOTS AND SHOES, AND OTHER TIMELY TIPS After an invigorating winter romp through the countryside, those friendly old leather boots and ) r1 __ shoes often take on more moisture than they should. The method you choose to dry them out I I could mean the difference between a few extra //Va\‘ \ I **/ minutes of your time and an unnecessary trip to the £/ *jy | / */ yn V shoe store for new ones ... so do take care. First, remove, wash, and dry the laces separately. L Then wipe all mud and grime from the boots with 7 tmen warm water and a small scrub brush. Hand-dry the 1 boots with a rag. Crumple sheets of newspaper into balls, warm them near the stove, and stuff them loosely inside the footwear. This will both speed the drying process and help the boots retain their shape. Place the footwear near (but not too near) a heat source where the air can cir­ culate freely around them. Keep the boots away from excessive heat since leather burns, shrinks, cracks, and stretches out of shape more quickly when it’s wet. When the footwear is dry and still warm, apply several coats of a waterproofing compound (but not a silicone-based formula, because it’ll make your feet sweat). Out on the trail it’s a little more difficult, but still possible, to successfully restore wet shoes to top condition. After cleaning and partially drying them near the campfire or in the sun (inverted on stakes to allow the warm air to circulate), heat some pebbles in a pan till the stones are warm to the touch. Place the rocks in the boots and shake them around occasionally to hasten drying. In an emergency, the leather can be waterproofed with bacon grease. Are you tired of lost or wet winter gloves each time you come in from an outing? If so, make a “rope-ladder clothesline’’. Just find a free corner (or any two supports a reasonable distance apart), and drive one nail into the wall about a foot and a half to the left of the corner’s seam and another nail directly across from it about a foot and a half to the right (you can shoi ten or lengthen the distance according to the length of clothesline you wish to use). Then tie a piece of rope or string from one nail to the oth­ er, and repeat the whole process down the wall toward the floor (leaving 10 to 12 inches vertically between strings) to accommodate as many pairs of gloves as you wish to hang. If you position your miniature clotheslines according to the heights of your family members, even the smallest will be to hang up his or her gloves. Just clothespin your damp hand-warmers to the string as you come in from the cold, and you’ll have a matched pair of dry gloves ready and waiting the next time you depart. And don’t be too quick to take down your contraption when the warm months of spring roll around. Work gloves, sun hats, and a wide variety of much-used, oftenmislaid items can be clipped to your ladder as well! You may be surprised to know that snow can be used to clean upholstered fur­ niture! Each winter Leena Iso-Shola, a reader of THE MOTHER EARTH NEWS. takes her lounge chairs and sofas outside on a crisp, snow-on-the-ground day. She then lets her furniture get good and cold, brushes it all down with the fresh white powder, and totes the clean and bright seats back inside!

The 50-57 win for Godwin put them in undisputed first place in the league race. The free throw line was also a factor in the game, with Godwin making 53% of their shots, hitting for 19 points. Meanwhile TK had only 8 points at the charity stripe. From the field the Trojans were 44% to Godwin’s 42%. Leading the Middleville team were Eric Hannapel and Dave Karel with 12 each. Karel also led the team with 10 rebounds. Tom Schwartz had 8 points, followed by Mike Myers’ 6 points and 8 rebounds. Honor Team of '60 This Friday night, February 15, the TK Athletic Department will honor the 1960 basketball team and cheerleaders. Friends and classmates are in­ vited to join them at the game and for coffee after the game in the home economics room. Trojan Freshmen Have Undefeated Injuries Take Toll String of 14-0 As Middleville Falls from OK Blue League Race Hamilton knocked off Middleville for the second time this year last Friday night to lay claim to second place in the OK Blue League race. TK led by three points at the half, but couldn't contain the Hawkeyes in the final half. The final score was 6756. Two of the Trojans were missing from the lineup on Friday with Steve Miller and Jeff Mathiesen both sidelined with injuries. Miller had been injured in the Godwin game on Tuesday night, and Mathiesen had knee surgery and is out for the remainder of the season. Dave Karel led the Trojans in the losing effort with 23 points. Eric Hannapel tipped in 12 points, followed by Tom Schwartz’s 11 points and 11 rebounds. Hitting on nearly half of their field goal attempts, Hamilton connected on 24 of 49 attempts. Mean­ while TK shot only 41%, hitting only 19 times in 51 tries. Free throws kept Middleville in the game, making 75% of their attempts. Hamilton was 61% from the charity line.

Merle Simmons, Mike Warner, Denny Wilson and Jim McCrath. Congratulations on a fine tournament and a great season. The Middleville Freshmen continued their un­ beaten string this past week by notching victories numnber 13 and 14. On Tuesday, Godwin’s freshmen played host to our young Trojans and proceded to give TK their toughest battle of the season. Middleville led throughout the first three quarters by as much as 10 points; however, during the 4th stanza Godwin Heights closed the gap and actually took the lead 46-45 with just less than two minutes left in the game. This was the first time all season our fresh­ men have been behind in the second half. The Mid­ dleville team at this point showed excellent poise and outscored Godwin 6 to 1 the rest of the way, to win 51 to 46. The victory was a total team effort with Tim Mesecar dominating the boards by hauling down 13 rebounds. Kevin Martinez continued to play a vital role off the bench by scoring 14 points and conver­ ting a steal into a 2 point full court lay-up which iced the bailgame. Ross Sprague tied for game scoring honors with 15 points, including the go-ahead bucket. David Elies totaled 8 points with two clut­ ch baskets in the closing minutes. Jeff Page and Brian Verlinde played their usual good overall floor games and some excellent defense. On Friday the team traveled to the always dif­ ficult confines of Hamilton, when for three quarters they were tested by the Hawkeyes. In the fourth quarter Middleville finally put the game away by a final score of 54-40. David Elies played one of his finest games by taking game scoring honors with 16 points and hauling down 7 rebounds. Verlinde, the team’s leading scorer had 14 points despite bat­ tling a bad cold, while Martinez again gave the of­ fense a “shot of adrenalin’’ by canning 8 points, five of which came in the all important 4th quarter. Mesecar continued as “chairman of the boards” by grabbing 10 rebounds and shutting down Hamilton’s inside game. Page played with his usual good hustle and intensity, contributing to the TK press and fast break, while Steve Egleston provided the Trojans with more than adequate bench strength by playing good all around basketball as two people got into early foul trouble. The TK Seventh Grade played a great game in the semi-final game of the OK Blue ournament on January 29 as they defeated unbeaten Kelloggsville 35-34. The win put the Trojans into the finals Mon­ day night against Godwin, who defeated Caledonia. At the end of the first quarter the Rockets held a 10-7 lead, but great defense by the Trojans enabled them to tie the score at 17 at the half. In the second half, Godwin shot out to a 6 point lead in the third quarter, but the Trojans never folded and fought back to trail 25-27 at the end of the 3rd. The 4th quarter was a wild affair as both teams held the lead a number of times. The Trojans seemed to have the game under control with a 1 point lead with 1:30 left, but one bad pass enabled the Rockets to steal the ball and take the lead with 16 seconds to go. Guard Corey Dean took the inbound pass and dove the length of the floor, and through three defenders, to score a fantastic off-balance winning basket with 6 seconds left. The game was not over yet as Kelloggsville called time to set up a last play. As the ball was passed in and moved up the floor a Rocket player was fouled. With 2 seconds on the clock the player missed the first of a 1-1, and center Bill Atkinson pulled down the rebound. The game was over and the Trojans moved into the finals. Corey Dean scored 10 points, Jim Grube 10, Bill Atkinson 6. Steve Miner 6 and Mike Milhouse 3. The coach says “Congratulations on a great effort!” The TK 7th grade basketball team came up 3 points short of their second upset in the OK Blue tour­ nament as they were defeated by Godwin 42-39 in the championship game on February 4. The loss left the Trojans with a 9-3 record and 2nd place in the OK Blue Tournament. The game was a close battle all the way as the game was tied many times. Godwin broke out to a 6 point lead at the end of the 3rd quarter, but the Trojans battled back to take a 1 point lead midway through the final quarter. The game was very well played by two good basketball teams. Mike Milhouse scored 13 points, Jim Grube 14, Corey Daen 5, Bill Atkinson 5 and Steve Miner 2. Other members of this year's team are Rob Lawren­ ce, Dave Kaechele, Todd Hulst, Tony Palmer, Chad Peters, Tad Thatcher, Danny Verlinde, Brad East­ wood, Chad Becker, Chip Baughman, Steve Thomp­ son, Troy Bailey, Howard DeWent, Chris Ayers and Glen Woodard. TK Eighth Grade The TK 8th grade basketball team was defeated by Godwin in the finals of the OK Junior High tour­ nament on February 4 by a 43-36 score. The margin of victory was no indication of how close the game was as the Trojans held the lead up to the final two minutes when they went cold and could not buy a basket. The first quarter saw the teams go back and forth with Godwin holding a slim 12-11 lead at the end of the first quarter. The Trojans, playing good defense, were able to outscore Godwin in the second quarter to take a 23-21 lead at halftime. The third quarter was again back and forth with the Trojans being able to increase their lead to 3 points, 31-28, starting the fourth quarter. The Trojans then held the lead until with 2*/t minutes to play, Godwin tied the game. The Trojans then went cold and had two critical baskets go in and out. They also missed the front ends of three 1-ls at the free throw line as Godwin put the game away. The Trojans played an excellent game and never gave up. They also came within 2 minutes of pulling a major upset, as God­ win had only one defeat this year, and that was without their starting center and leading scorer. Scoring for the Trojans were Dave French 13, Doug Mesecar 11, Mike Brotherton 3, Derek Surdam 3, Dirk Strater 2, Pete Donker 2 and Todd Sprague 2. Mr. Wyatt would like to thank the team for all their hard work during the season and offer congratulations on their second place finish in the tournament.

While in town he stops to visit friends at the local cof­ feeshop, picks up his wife from a church meeting, and then runs a few other errands before returning home. When they get home, the farmer must write down where he went, how many miles he travelled, whether each stop was business or personal, and submit all this information to the federal gover­ nment for each trip he takes. Sounds like an unrealistic situation, doesn’t it? But if confusion surrounding the new tax rules af­ fecting personal use of business vehicles is not resolved by Congress, the above scenario might be a fact of life. The confusion began last year when Congress changed the tax laws to make it more difficult for people to unethically write off personal purchases, trips, and other items as business expense. Under the new law, businessmen, farmers, and others operating the same vehicle for both personal and business uses, would be allowed to deduct business expenses only if “adequate contemporaneous recor­ ds" were kept to distinguish these uses. But the IRS interpreted “adequate’’ to mean detailed trip-by-trip, stop-by-stop recordkeeping — a nightmare for those people, especially farmers and small businessmen, who use the same vehicle for work and private travel, often at the very same time. Fortunately, congress is already moving ahead to correct this mess. Clearly the IRS interpretation was impractical, and in recent weeks I have heard from literally hundreds of my constituents letting me know exactly how extreme these new rules are. For that reason 1 have co-sponsored legislation in the House of Representatives to repeal the change made in the tax law last year which allowed IRS to promulgate these new rules. Although the IRS has modified its initial regulations somewhat, it is the responsibility of Congress to clarify its intention on this matter. Many other members of Congress are disturbed by these rules, and I am hopeful that swift action will come. If you would like me to keep you apprised of developments on this issue, please write me at the U. S. House of Representatives, Washington, D.C. 20515. USE THE SUN & NEWS CLASSIFIEDS!

And once again, according to Cap­ tain John Morrison of the Battle Creek Salvation Army Corps, the Salvation Army throughout Michigan will be responsible for administration of the program, including determining eligibility for assistance. Customers are being asked to pledge $2.00 by checking a box on their bills. The utility will match the first $100,000 of contributions with an equal amount of bill credits. More than $2.00 can be given by making out a separate check payable to “The Salvation Army PeopleCare Program" and retur­ ning it with the bill payment. The bill credits, targeted for Consumers Power Company’s residential gas and electric customers, will be used on a “last resort" basis when no other form of energy assistance is available to that customer. PeopleCare funds contributed by customers are designated for any emergency need, as determined by the Salvation Army. The funds are not restricted to Consumers Power customers. Bill credits, All Winter Merchandise 50%-80% OFF however, will be available only for the Company’s customers, and must be applied to their energy bills. In 1983 and 1984 a total of more than $580,000 was raised by PeopleCare. In 1983 alone more than 19,000 Michigan residents received assistance from PeopleCare. The gift is tax deductible. “PeopleCare has made an important difference in the lives of thousands of people,’’ said Captain Morrison. “It’s a program that works.” The Salvation Army, one of the oldest nonprofit social service organizations in the U.S., was selected to distribute the funds raised by Consumers Power Company because it has a statewide organizational network already experienced at screening applicants and processing aid. Consumers Power Company’s residential customers who check the PeopleCare box on their February bill will have their $2.00 pledge added to their next bill. The company will turn all money over to the Salvation Army for distribution - no strings attached. Peoplecare was started in 1983 by Consumers Power Company as an offshoot of informal food and clothing drives for the needy that Company em­ ployees had been organizing in the various regions for years. — YOUR WISHES AND OUR SERVICE.

Wed.p.m. A lot of local families are playing “hot ball” with ear infection, sore throat, flu, and the general ‘blahs', passing it from member to member. It’s almost enough to be confined pretty much to home these days, but being confined with people not feeling well (and sometimes tending tube a bit touchy!) can make the atmosphere a little tense. Spring will come! Korie Wheeler's overnight guest on Friday was Alesse Nichols. Rod Bracy’s mother and dad came over from Charlotte on Saturday to visit. Ed Wieringa was among those participating in the Middleville Men’s City Tournament on Saturday and Sunday. Don and Kay Link spent Saturday with daughter Kim and they went to Sunfield and Grand Ledge. Sunday Don and Kay went to Kathy's for coffee. Saturday Janette and Wendy VanRhee had breakfast at Happiness Is in Byron Center, then at­ tended the OK Blue Conference wrestling meet. Jody VanRhee spent the weekend with her sister Amy at Grand Valley College. Clifford and Jennie Davis were Sunday and over­ night guests of Dr. and Mrs. R. Jack Chase in Grand Rapids. They celebrated daughter Donna’s birth­ day, which was the 7th, and Jennie’s Valentine Day birthday. The Davis’s visted at the Clark Home on Monday, stopping to see Ardis Lutz, and were returned home that day. The Phil Benders had a get-away weekend at the Grand Rapids Holiday Inn. A perfect time for it, and a good time had by all. Overnight guests at the Fred Steiner home Satur­ day were there daughter and son-in-law, Tim and Valerie Estes of Deerfield, Ill. The Harley Truax’s of Wayland spent last Wednesday with the Steiners and helping with some household tasks. Alice has appreicated her visits, flowers, and meals from one and all, and is improving daily. Mike and Katy Bremer took children Brett and Kelly to the circus on Saturday. The Hunts went to the basketball game in Hamilton on Friday night, and Laine Hunt came home from Ferris for the weekend to celebrate her birthday with the family. Bea and Harold Cutler and Agnes Smith of Hastings called on Ruth Klump on Sunday. Other callers were Bill and Mary Klump and two of their children from Wayland. Sunday dinner guests at the Bob Wenger home were daughters Christina Gibson and three sons and Mary Newman and two sons. That had to be a lively dinner table! Sharon Becker’s sister, Evonne Woodcox of Grand Rapids, came out to attend church with the family here and have dinner with them. Letha Buckingham said she and Fred were just “comfy right here at home.” Doesn’t that sound good? Our church circle met last Thursday night at the home of Luana Tolan, and Georgia Hamacher showed us slides from her trip to the Holy Land several years ago. Georgia also added the extra dimension of telling us Bible stories that related to many of the places pictured. This took a lot of knowledge and study, but it was a great way for us to visit and remember. Sunday dinner guests at our house were Tom, Brenda and Lindsay Bremer, son John and Kellie Hamman, to help son Tom celebrate his birthday. Lindsay said she went to the circus on Saturday, too. Brad and Brian Enders attended cousin Nathan Enders’ birthday party in Grand Rapids on Satur­ day and were overnight guests of their Uncle Bob, Aunt Phyllis and Cousins. The ‘big folks’ celebrated Nathan’s birthday on Sunday and the boys returned home with their folks. Have a very sweet Valentine’s Day, one and all.....

NEWS OF YOUR MIDDLEVILLE NEIGHBORS WESTSIDE with NORMA VELDERMAN <____________________________________________ / Don’t despair folks - winter is here, that’s for sure. But have you noticed the longer days - six o'clock at night it’s still daylight. Spring is coming folks, even if you have to peer over the snowbanks to see it. I don’t think I’d make a good citizen of the north not enough daylight hours. A week ago Saturday the Doug Hart family at­ tended the circus in Grand Rapids. Sunday they went to Portland to help celebrate their youngest niece’s birthday. Jim Oliver said he and Kathy went to Bay Pointe with their fellow Hastings teachers for a retirement dinner for Merlyn Foster. Tuesday they will help Kathy celebrate her birthday. Louise Elwood said Dan and Matt Diepenhorst visited relatives in Holland Friday. Then Sunday Matt and Dan attended the Baseball card show at the Marriot Inn. Bobbie Smith thought I was another one of her students calling to see if they were going to have their Valentine party Monday. Laura Bennett said her mother, Alice Freshney, was moving into Lincoln Meadow this week. Friday the Rod Finkbeiners went to visit his dad, Herman Finkbeiner. Rose and Ken Morgan came back a week ago from their son Joseph’s wedding in Florida. She said they’d never been to a square dance wedding but The Sun and News, Middleville, Ml / Feb. 21,1985 / Pg. 3 had a wonderful time. The trip back was not so won­ derful. For a stretch of about 200 miles in Alabama they traveled on five-six inches of solid ice. They even barricaded the roads to make people stay home. Rose said just part of the time she had kept count and there were over 157 accidents. What it would have been if she'd started at the beginning of the icy area, heaven only knows. She said it was really quite an experience. They are so poorly equip­ ped to handle such weather. Home really locked good. Ken thought the front wheel drive on her car helped them tremendously. Ralph and Gladys Briggs were over to Byron Cen­ ter Sunday to help celebrate her granddaughter's 6th birthday. Florence Doorn bos had their grandchildren Nick and Korie Wheeler stay Saturday night. Then Sun­ day Nick helped grandpa shovel snow off the garage roof, as well as get the high banks of snow hauled away.

They also visited grandparents Art and Ann Kenyon and left for home Sunday. lyla Norton and daughter attended her gran­ dson's church at Comstock then had dinner with him in the parsonage.

Pat Schondelmayer is busy sewing for daughter Julie who is heading for Florida during spring break. The Aicken family were all home to help dad (Red) and Tom celebrate their combined birthdays. Pat and Jerry Hilty had Harry, Pat and Mike Scott visit them Sunday. My snowshoes sure sink in the snow, so I was reading my instruction book and found out my Bear Paw snowshoes tend to misbehave in light, fluffy snow. The pointed ones would be much better. I sink in so far, as well as catch the front edge all the time. I need bigger baskets on my ski poles to keep from going so deep. You can see what a rank beginner I am - but I’m still plugging at it - at least I’m getting exercise.

Clerk /------------------------ — Prairie Sketches with LOIS BREMER and JANETTE VAN RHEE We have a new Sesame Street book at our house, “The City Worm and the country Worm” - an up­ dated version of the City Mouse and the Country Mouse. Wonder why no one ever wrote a story about country snow and city snow. Oh yes, there is a dif­ ference, and I hear about it from friends and family who live in the country and work in the city. There’s something about being in a warm, cozy office that seems to make ‘those in charge’ fail to understand impassable roads and 6 to 8 ft. snowbanks. (I got to work, therefore you should be able to get here too!). Until we have phone-a-vision from cars, or everyone goes around with a video recorder to let people know just how stuck they are, I guess country folks will just have to invite their city counterparts to "come and pick me up" if they disbelieve. Of course, coun­ try snow is much prettier. We all know that! Phil and Barb Bender went out for dinner Friday night with Paul and Sally Wieringa, and on Satur­ day they attended the Valentine party for couples from their church. Ruth Klump said she went with her daughter for groceries, but otherwise has been content at home. Mike and Katy Bremer, Brett and Kelly, had Saturday night supper with us. After Mike spent a good six hours with tractor, blade and scoop on his driveway, he must have had to conjure up pictures of how beautiful it is back there in the summer to cope with the sheer bulk of it all. The Dave Enders family were Saturday night guests of the Tom VanderWoudes in Freeport to celebrate a birthday and the VanderWoude’s an­ niversary. One of the neighbors had no news when I called she just commented that it had been a 1-o-o-n-g week. A profound statement! Donna Chase of Grand Rapids came out Monday to have lunch with her folks, Clifford and Jennie Davis, and visit with them. Bob and Helen Wenger’s Sunday dinner guests were Ed and Christina Gibson and three sons. The Wengers also took Rollie Cox out for breakfast Sun­ day morning. Fritz and Alice Steiner were Sunday dinner guests at our house, and they had Monday night supper with Judy Thompson and family. Diane Hoskins’ brother Bruce and his friend were weekend guests of Vance and Diane on February 910. Ralph and Alberta Kenyon had dinner out at Yankee Springs Golf Course Sunday. Loretta Worth spent the weekend in Battle Creek at the State Bowling Tournament.

I went fishing last Monday morning and only caught two fish - one speckled bass and one blue gill; Tuesday morning two sunfish and one bluegill.

My family - the snow has accumulated quite rapidly lately, about one foot higher last night. No school today (Tues. Feb. 12( and no school for four days last week.

For the ninth time, the local high school will be the host for the Class C State Wrestling Tour­ nament. Attracting 208 of the very best Class C wrestlers from throughout lower Michigan, the finals will see 13 boys named State Cham­ pions at the completion of the tourney on Saturday night. Once again the tournament is being handled by the staff and students of TKHS, under the director of Athletic Director and Tournament Manager Ray Page. “It is a big undertaking for our school and the people of the com­ munity,” said Page last week at a meeting of the Middleville Rotary Club. “Since beginning the tournaments over 10 years ago, Mid­ dleville has realized over $70,000 in “profits” as the host school. There has been a lot of volunteer work on the part of the kids and the Boosters during those years to make that statement possible,” said Page. Wrestlers will begin arriving early Friday morning to set the stage for the day-long preliminary bouts. Seventy-nine schools will be represented at the tournament this year. (Mid­ dleville did not qualify any wrestlers for the finals). All activity will take place at the high school gym. Admission is $2.00 for the preliminary matches and $3.00 for the Saturday night finals. To allow student participation (working!) at the tournament, the high school students will be released at 11:00 a.m. on Friday, according to Principal Henry Dugan. COHip The Sun and News 115th YEAR / TWENTY CENTS / MIDDLEVILLE. MICHIGAN 49333 / NO. 9 / FEBRUARY 28. 1985 THE OPENING CEREMONIES AT LAST YEAR'S STATE CHAMPIONSHIP WRESTLING TOURNAMENT THAT WAS HELD IN MIDDLEVILLE. Looking for Middleville ’s ‘Heart’ During March If a family in Barry County was in dire need of food or shelter they would likely contact relatives, neighbors and friends, as well as Social Services, LOVE, Inc., etc. If, however, that family was in Ethiopia, their relatives, neighbors and friends would be starving with them, and the social organizations available to them would be hard pressed to even feed them once a day. Daily, through newspapers and nightly news broadcasts, we’re reminded that thousands of people are starving in Africa. Does this affect us? Yes! We think it affects the hearts and sensibilities of every individual who is aware. Would you as one individual, if given the opportunity, help save these lives? We know you would! A good example of this fact can be found last November when a local church asked if each individual would consider donating one day's wage to Ethiopia, and thousands of dollars were raised in one offering. Individuals do care! Would we as a community, if we had the oppor­ tunity to help save lives, make the effort? We believe that Middleville is a warm and caring com­ munity that would respond to the needs of others if given the opportunity. It was this belief that prom­ pted us to go to the Village Council with our plans to start a Middleville African Relief Campaign. The Council was warm and gracious to us and voted to back and support our efforts. With this proclamation of support from the Council we are proceeding with our plans. Thus far these plans in­ clude: 1. Contacting all of the service organizations, churches, youth groups, etc. and asking if they will contribute in some way, hopefully with a com­ munity project, towards this campaign. 2. Contacting all of the businesses and asking if there is some way they feel they would like to help. 3. A community Young People’s Dance March 15 at the High School. 4. A community Adult dance March 22 at the Middle villa Inn. There are a lot of other ideas and possibilities. These are the ones we’ve acted on thus far. We’ll keep you informed each week with the progress of these projects and let you know of anything new that develops as the various organizations respond. This saying, author unknown, says it all: “I am only one, but I am one. I cannot do everything, But I can do something. And what I can do, I ought to do. And what I ought to do ... by the grace of God, I will do!” We repeat our original question: “Would you if you could?” We need your help. If you’re part of an organization, please encourage them to undertake a project or contribute in some way. If you don’t belong to a group but would just like to help, call Max and Phyl Miner, 795-7444 or Ron and Diana Schreer, 795-9785. Let’s start out Middleville's next 150 years by helping others.

Many of our subscribers from otaer states, or in the service, write us that they read the Sun and News word for word, including the classifieds, even though they’re not in a position to buy or sell anything. They’re interested because it’s from home. Something similar has happened with our “Sun and News’’ Cookbooks. While the majority of them have gone to the Caledonia/Middleville area, and several each to Grand Rapids, Hastings, Wayland and Alto, we have also mailed copies to Alabama, California, Florida, Pennsylvania, Ohio and other Michigan cities. Just last week we received an order from the Kenneth Schads in Guam for cookbooks to be sent to Grand Rapids, Maine, Iowa and Min­ nesota. It’s astonishing how far reaching are the ties that bind people to little old Middleville and Caledonia. Speaking of “ties that bind,’’ most everyone is aware by now that Michigan has passed a man­ datory seatbelt law, and, as of July 1st, a motorist who is stopped for some other traffic violation can be fined for not wearing a seatbelt. I admit to some mixed feelings on this whole issue. Statistics show that use of seatbelts does save lives, and I don’t question the merit of wearing them, and I also un­ derstand that mandatory seat belts may mean that required air bags may not then be legislated. I think my complaint is just that this seems one more in a very long list of do’s and don’t’s that continue to restrict our freedom of choice. Seat belts should be worn because we can see the merit of them and not because the law says we must do so. Maybe I just don’t like to be told I have to do all these things — even if they are “for my own good.” When my aunts were in Michigan for my uncle’s funeral, there was, of course, a good deal of food preparation involved, and our thoughts naturally turned to favorite recipes. My Aunt Christine, a super cook, sent this one for oatmeal muffins. OBITUARIES <_________________________________ > Seek Input for Caledonia JOHN L. JOUSTRA School Building Plans John L.

A number of proposals I sponsored in the last legislature made it through the process and will not need re-introduction. Those new laws include: Voluntary Quit Policy. This amendment to the unemployment law closed a loophole which had allowed voluntary quitters to collect unemployment benefits. Prompt Payment.

A first step in dealing with a complex problem, this law mandates the State Purchasing office to avoid unnecessary state duplication of services that can be provided more efficiently by private contractors. Identifying Underage Drinkers. To help bar owners and retailers identify would-be underage drinkers, the words “UNDER TWENTY ONE’’ will be printed on young peoples’ drivers’ licenses by the Secretary of State. A Fair Deal for Penn Central Lessees. In places like Hopkins the Penn Central landholding company is putting the squeeze on lessees who built businesses along railroad rights-of-way now aban­ doned. Penn Central’s demand: Pay an exhorbitant price for leased property or the company will sell the land out from under the leaseholder's business.

This amendment raised the ceiling to 11%. Unfinished business I will be re-introducing in­ cludes: Fighting Unnecessary Regulation. For the second time in four years, my bills to repeal useless state licensing laws for watchmakers and massage parlore operators cleared the House but died in the Senate. I plan to try again. In addition, I am preparing a measure that would place a two-year moratorium on new licensing programs. It is time for the legislature to take a hard look at licensing activities that may be restricting competition rather than protecting consumers. Sunset. Though this plan to establish a system for the periodic evaluation of state programs is not yet law, definite progress is being made. For the first time, the Speaker has appointed a Legislative Over­ sight Committee. As a member of that panel, I ex­ pect we will begin to initiate the sunset review process outlined in my legislation. Working closely with the Auditor General, this new committee should greatly strengthen the legislature's “watch­ dog’’ role. Workers’ Compensation. I have joined Senator Doug Cruce in introducing a nine-bill package to cut the cost of a much improved, but still expensive in­ surance system for employees who suffer job-related injuries. Administrative reforms and a revised definition of disability lead the list of changes needed in order to make our state more attractive for job-providers. Senator Cruce and I will be in­ volved in bi-partisan negotiations with the Gover­ nor’s office on this issue, which Blanchard would like resolved by July, 1985. Pregnancy Services Awareness. The newly ap­ pointed Public Health Committee will likely take up this measure. My bill would require health clinics performing abortions to provide to women con­ sidering that step printed information about available adoptive, pre-natal and other alternative services. Legislation to provide low-interest financing for the construction of state-certified, non-profit homes for the aged has been merged into a more com prehensive bill. It should receive action during thii session. I also am drafting potentially controversial measures to: reform our state’s campaign financing law; and make more effective the act requiring lob­ byists to report expenditures that are designed tc influence the passage of legislation. It promises to be a busy two years. Rev.

Seniors Dawn Bos, Karyn Elies, Eric Hannapel, Kristy Miner, Cindy Manage and Teresa French all hope to be chosen as one of the twenty regional winners from the Michigan-Ohio region. The top twenty from our region will be invited to Cleveland for a three-day clinic during which their projects will be subjected to suggestions and criticisms from NASA experts and astronauts. After this, each participant will rewrite his/her proposal and submit it to the National com­ petition. TK students have entered in a wide range of categories this year. Dawn Bos’s proposal is concerned with personal hygiene in space. Dawn has designed a “shower­ bag” using a body-sized bag equipped with special sponges and water release devices that will thoroughly clean the individual using the bag. Af­ ter the showerbag is used, the excess water is gathered and eliminated by use of a “wet-dry vacuum” and a dehumidifier. Karyn Elies is questioning the effects of microgravity on the production of separated viable human sperm through the convection streaming galvanization technique. Microgravity may produce an increase in the percentage of separated sperm which are capable of fertilizing an ovum. This technique may enable chidless parents to have children. Eric Hannapel is investigating the effects of microgravity on fish. Eric has developed an ap­ paratus that will simulate the normal day/night schedule of three freshwater goldfish and closely record the activities and variances in swimming patterns of the fish to see if they can adjust and sur­ vive in the microgravity of a flight on the space shuttle. Kristy Miner is looking into the effects of nitrogen deficiency on reflexes in space. A chemical con­ taining nitrogen is involved in the transfer of nerve impulses and nitrogen deficiencies have been shown to develop during space flight. Kristy wishes to see if this will have a consequential effect on reflex speed in space. Cindy Mariage’s experiment is concerned with the effects of the varying magnetic fields of space upon the brain’s activities.

Turning Candy Into Science Projects at TK More candy bars? “Oh great,’’ said Mike Lynch, a senior, “here we go again! ’’ For the second year in a row, the Physics and Advanced Computer Science students of TK high have been peddling chocolate. Last year they raised enough money to purchase the Hero I robot, affectionately dubbed “Kilroy”. The object of this year’s fund raiser is TK’s first laser and the high school’s first color monitor. The laser will be used primarily by the Physics classes. While students jokingly speculate on blowing up the science wing or taking over the school, the laser has more practical applications. In­ cluded in the purchase of the kit were 25 lab books, including various experiments. The laser does require some assembly, but with veterans returning from the assembly of the robot last year, it should be operational soon. The color monitor has already been used by com­ puter science students in both the advanced and the first year classes. Instead of seeing their graphics programs in various shades of green, kids can view their creations in full color. “It really adds interest to a program,” says Jacquie Webb, a junior. Not only does the color monitor enhance already written programs, it’s also very useful as a learning tool. Karyn Elies, a senior, said it was very helpful to her in advanced graphics. It was a lot easier when we were able to see the colors rather than just gessing.” Both the laser and the color monitor will continue to be used by students for years to come. In the last two years, Physics and Advanced Computer Science students have raised enough money to purchase kits which, when assembled, would retail at over $3500. They have initiated what may prove to be a profitable as well as highly educational tradition at TK High. Kevin Briggs is the students’ instructor.

The legislative package (Senate Bills 59 and 77) would return the state income tax rate to 4.6 percent on January 1,1986 and increase the personal exemp­ tion from the current $1,500 to $1,750, indexed to the rate of inflation. “This income tax relief package would benefit all senior citizens, but would give particular assistance to those who do not have sufficient retirement benefits to allow them to live without working,’’ Posthumus said. “Because persons 65 years of age and older are granted a double exemption on their state income tax, this measure would amount to an increase of $500 for each senior-aged member filing a tax return.” Senator Posthumus cited the following examples. A person 65 or older filing separately and receiving $3,000 in Social Security, a private pen­ sion of $8,000 and wages and salary of $10,000 would save $60.50 a year. A household in which the man and wife are both 65 or older filing jointly and receiving $5,000 in Social Security, a private pension of $9,000 and wages and salary of $10,000 would have a tax savings of $66 a year. “This tax package provides tax fairness for the most people,” Posthumus said. “It provides per­ manent tax relief with the greatest benefit going to those who need it most: senior citizens, the han­ dicapped, and working families with low incomes. The package, which has bi-partisan support in the Senate, would save nearly $1 billion over the next two years for more than four million working men and women. ___________ CALL ROBIN FOR All Fabrics Our Line Manicures FREE NAIL SHAPER WITH MANICURES (THROUGH MARCH 11, 1985) ★ FREE PICKUP AND DELIVERY ★ WE GUARANTEE OUR WORK ★ OVER 20 YEARS OF EXPERIENCE PHONE TODAYI 891-1226 QUALITY UPHOLSTERY SUN BED SPECIAL 10 SESSIONS- $45 + One Free for Spouse TWO 10 SESSION CARDS - $80.00 MONARCH! 102 High Street * Downtown Middleville & SALE! ★ Nail Tips ★ Acrylics ACV Plus Finishing Rinse 16oz. $4.75 Medi Dan 16oz.

In the two games against Caledonia, TK racked up 15 nonreturnable serves. Leading the way with five aces was Brenda Page. Dawn Bos, Trena Yonkers and Taleese Yonkers each had a pair of aces to their credit. In the spiking department, Dawn Bos, Brenda Page and Monique Weesie had three kills apiece. Karyn Elies was credited for nine assists. Against Kelloggsville, Kelly Biermacher and Lenda Vandal each aced three serves. Dawn Bos and Karyn Elies also contributed a pair of aces. Elies was credited with 7 assists for the match. Her main targets were Dawn Bos, Monique Weesie and Heather Hannapel, who each had a pair of kills. Heather Hannapel, along with Kim Koetsier, were moved up from the junior varsity squad to assist the Trojan attack. TK finished conference play with a 3-4 record and in fifth place. The Trojans will compete in district competition at Godwin on Saturday, March 2. Trojan JV's Keep String Alive; Beat Hamilton in Overtime The Junior Varsity Trojans have continued on their winning ways during the month of February, notching up vistories over Godwin (59-45), Hamilton (62-59), Maple Valley (67-53) and Kelloggsville (56-44). The big guns in those four games were Doug Fox and Randy Stickney. Fox was high point man in the Godwin game (19) and Maple Valley game (21). Stickney took the scoring honors in the Hamilton encounter (22) and Kelloggsville game (17). Perhaps the most exciting game of the series was with Hamilton, with the young Trojans going into double overtime to win it. It was close from start to finish. Early foul trouble for Fox saw the early TK lead melt to 26 all at halftime. Hamilton’s great height advantage put the Trojans on the defense. Middleville’s nine point advantage in the third quarter was quickly erased when Fox had to sit out the remainder of the period because of four per­ sonals. The fourth quarter was an exciting quarter, but also saw Fox foul out. Any other team would have given up to see their big man foul out, but not Mid­ dleville as they continued to play good ball and outscored Hamilton 14-13 to tie the game at 53. In the overtime Randy Stickney took over and scored all 3 points for the Trojans. Luckily Hamilton only scored 3 points and the game went into a second overtime. Mark Tasker and Stickney played two-man basketball as Tasker fed Randy inside and he scored. Stickney scored 4 of the 6 points for the Trojans in that second overtime. The other timely basket was scored by Mark Verlinde and the game ended with a 62-59 victory for the Trojans. The Trojan wrestling team ended the season with an 18 4 dual meet record surpassing the old school record of 17-4 set last year. Leading the team this year were the seniors. Jack Posthumus at 112 lbs., had a record of 27-10, and recorded 55 pins during his four years as a varsity wrestler. Jack was voted by his teammates as the winner of the Dan Dykstra Memorial Award for sportsmanship. Don Porter wrestled at 126 lbs and finished with a record of 23-12. Tim Hooper wrestled at 132 lbs., and had a record of 21-10. At 145 lbs., Greg Lydy was voted most improved by his teammates and en­ ded up with a 21-18-1 record. Kyle Plank, armed with his ever present three-quarter nelson, recorded 13 pins in his 16 wins at 155 lbs. The underclassmen also contributed to the very successful season. Sophomore Wade Poland at 98 lbs recorded 22 pins in a 28-9 season. Mark Irwin, a freshman, at 105, was 27-9 with 20 pins. At 119 lbs., junior Del win Craven was voted Most Valuable by his team mates and recorded a 30-9 season with 20 pins. Several wrestlers alternated to fill the 138 lb. weight class after the loss of senior Rob Anders to a knee injury. They were junior Al Gulch, sophomore Luke Kooiman and sophomore Dean Steeby, who was also selected as the Kevin Babcock Memorial award winner for the best JV wrestler. The 167 lb. weight class was filled by junior Troy Lewis with an 18-13 record. Three wrestlers com­ bined to fill the 195 and 198 lbs. weight classes. They were juniors Chad Perry and Jay Porteous and freshman Bruce Sherd. All three showed tremen­ dous improvement throughout the year. Randy Allen, a sophomore, improved with every match while wrestling at heavyweight. Also receiving varsity letters in wrestling this year were juniors Joel McWhinney, Kevin Oly, Shawn Lake; sophomores Pete Lloyd, Todd Kamin­ ski, Steve Cutler, Brad Hair, and freshman Bruce Swanson. Wrestlers receiving JV letters were Jeff Lloyd, Doug Mathiesen, Chris Forsythe, Rick Reigler, Bob Baldry, Eric McWhinney, Mike Miles, Mike Wright and Mike Schliewe. Coach Tom Lehman would like to congratulate the wrestling team on a fine year, and the seniors on a four year dual meet record of 57-18-3.

The nearly perfect performance by the Maple Valley Lions at the free throw line spelled doom for TK last Tuesday night. The Lions hit for 80% of their charity tosses (31 out of 39) while Middleville could only make 10 of their 24 tries. The Lions won the non-league game, 73-64. In the field goal department, the Trojans did somewhat better, making 5$yof their shots (27 of 47). Leading the TK attack was Dave Karel with 22 points and 7 rebounds. Steve Miller had 18 points and 8 rebounds. Eric Hannapel gathered in 12 poin­ ts and Tom Schwartz had 9 points and 12 rebounds. iiimtmimtitfiiiiiiiiittiiiiiiiinui FEATURING SUCH NAME BRANDS AS BASSETT, BERNE, NORWALK, SIMMONS, 11 131 124tt Mp*. <9344 672 5115 672 7913 im Bm .

After months of debate, the Michigan House finally passed a mandatory seat belt law. I have long been a supporter of the measure and have gone carefully over the pros and cons, the con­ stitutionality and the fairness of the issue many times, so I’ll not duplicate any of that. We are not attempting to take away anyone’s rights, we are simply making the privilege of driving a safer one. Governor Blanchard is expected to sign the new law which, after July 1, 1985, requires drivers and front seat passengers to wear their seat belts or face a $10 fine. The fine goes to $25 in 1986, but no penalty points will be levied against a driver, nor will the police be permitted to stop a vehicle specifically to check for seat belt usage. It was either this law, or the acceptance of a federal requirement that air bags be installed in new vehicles. The Great Tax Debate Once again a discussion over taxes will occupy much of our time over the next few months, only this time the debate will be waged not over how to increase them but how to decrease them.

(Signed) PHILIP DATEMA, Supervisor VILLAGE ELECTION To the Qualified Electors: NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN, That an Annual Village Election will be held in the Village of tax credits through use of the circuit breaker provisions of the tax structure. That’s garbage, in my view, but you will hear a lot more about that proposal in the near future. The next shot was fired by the Democratic Chair­ man of the House Taxation Committee when he in­ troduced legislation to increase the personal income tax exemption from $1500 to $1650. That’s better than the property tax rebate gimmie, in my opinion, but we can still do better. I believe the most reasonable approach is to ac­ celerate the schedule rollback of the income tax. That is the easiest to implement, puts money direc­ tly in the hands of the taxpayers who paid it in the first place, and does it right now instead of waiting for the next election year to roll around. The most significant thing about this whole discussion is that everyone, including the Governor, has at least now agreed that the original tax in­ crease was indeed too much, that there is a surplus of some magnitude, and that it should be returned, in some form, to the taxpayers of this state. Somewhere along the line, look for a compromise that will include a return to the original 4.6% in­ come tax sometime in 1986, a moderate increase in personal exemptions, and possibly some vague promise on property tax reform. Oh well, half a loaf is better than no loaf at all!! by RICHARD POSTHUMUS Currently, Michigan spends about $5.7 million yearly on some 20,000 abortions for women on Medicaid. That may change, however, if a bill ban­ ning the practice of Medicaid-funded abortions, eventually becomes law. The Medicaid-funded abortion issue before the Michigan Legislature is not whether to allow abor­ tions “to be or not to be.’’ Instead, it is the much different question of whether to fund or not to fund. The United States Supreme Court has ruled that terminating a pregnancy by abortion is legal, within certain limits. They did not rule, however, that each state has the responsibility to fund them. Separating the two issues — the moral concept behind abortion and whether the state should have to pay — has not been easy. Even those who support the concept of abortion are not necessarily in favor of the state providing funds to do so. And some who may believe that the state should cover that expen­ se for women on Medicaid as long as the procedure is legal do not necessarily support or oppose abor­ tion. The next move is the Governor’s. The bill has passed both chambers of the Michigan Legislature, and he has 14 days to decide whether to sign or veto the measure. He has hinted that he will veto it, as he has done three times in the past. /--------------------------- ' STATE SENATOR After the veto, the bill will go back to the House, where it was first introduced. To override the Governor’s veto, both the House and the Senate must reapprove the legislation by at least twothirds majority vote. If they do so, the bill would take effect immediately. Both proponents and opponents admit that chan­ ces for an override this season are better than ever before. The Senate has often approved the proposal by a wide margin, but sponsors of the bill have never been able to muster enough votes in the Democratcontrolled House. November’s election brought a more conservative membership to Lansing, though, and proponents believe they finally have enough support to override a veto. Although both the House and Senate approved the measure by more than two-thirds on the first vote, there’s no guarantee that it will be approved by the same margin on the second vote. As the bill makes its way through the legislative process once more, debate on the subject will become more in­ teresting, and certainly more heated.

RISC's Recycling Tips In spite of the wintery weather, recyclers have been busily recycling their cans and glass. We regret that we have been lax about shoveling snow around the sites — our arms have had a real workout keeping our own driveways clear of snow. Our apologies and a thank you to those dedicated folks who have braved the drifts and recycled anyway. RiBC is pleased to report the recycling of corrugated cardboard initiated by Earl Cooklin at Hastings High School in cooperation with Roy and Warren Patterson who truck it to Barry County Steel in Irving. This saves taxpayers’ money by decreasing the school’s waste disposal costs by one third. This also means that approximately 268 cubic yards of waste per school year will not be buried in the landfill! Ken Neil, owner of Hastings Sanitary Landfill, supports community efforts to recycle because it means the landfill will last longer. He plans to offer Delton residents the alternative of recycling clear glass at their new transfer station in the spring. Bob Henry of Barry County Steel will provide bins for this purpose and has agreed to haul the glass to Owens-Illinois in Charlotte. Recycling in Barry County is certainly catching on. Remember, green and brown glass can no longer be recycled in Michigan. Clean clear glass bottles and jars can. Remove and discard metal lids. Lids with no rubber seal inside such as Miracle Whip lids can be recycled with metal if the paper inside is removed first. No light bulbs or window glass can be recycled. Clean flattened tin cans and small metal scrap can be recycled. Please remove paper labels from cans. Clean flattened aluminum (pie tins, foil, etc.) should be separated from tin and placed in barrels marked aluminum. These materials can be brought at any time to either the Middleville site located behind Middle Mart Party Store on M-37 or the Hastings site located in the fire station parking lot. The Caledonia site, located next to Caledonia Foods on M-37, ac­ cepts bundled newspapers (no shiny magazines please), old phonebooks, and clean, flattened, labelfree plastic milk jugs as well as glass and metal.

Nearly a year in preparation, the proposal vastly simplifies the tax code, but in doing so changes a number of deductions and incentives that have been important to citizens of Michigan and have encouraged economic development within the state. Congress this yea? may well take major steps to reform the tax code, and, before it does. I’d like to hear from you. The President has not formally embraced the Treasury proposal, but in his State of the Union Address he commended it as one "whose principles will guide" his final proposal. As such, it offers a good blueprint of the changes the Administration is considering. The Treasury Plan would replace the present 14 tax brackets with three rates set at 15, 25 and 35 percent. Corporations would be taxed at a flat 33 percent. Personal deductions for state and local in­ come taxes, sales taxes, and property taxes would be removed. A mortgage deduction for primary residences and charitable contributions above 2% of gross income would be included. Along with the Treasury plan, Congress will be considering at least two other major tax sim­ plification alternatives. Another plan, the Bradley-Gephardt Fair Tax Act, would tax individuals at graduated rates from 14 to 30 percent, and corporations at 30 percent. Like the Treasury plan, Bradley-Gephardt would repeal many current deductions, including most non-mortgage interest and state and local sales taxes. A third major plan, the Fair and Simple Tax, would have one flat tax rate of 25 percent, and tax corporate income from 15 to 30 percent. This plan would also repeal many deductions, including those for state and local income and sales taxes. Any final bill will take a long time to formulate, | whether it comes from the President or Congress. But the need and benefit of tax reform is clear. In order for me to judgte effectively the different proposals, I’d like to hear your views on what is im­ portant to you in regard to tax reform. Paul B.

Prairie Sketches with LOIS BREMER and JANETTE VAN RHEE Somehow, the momentous days of our lives come and go — and the world just keeps right on turning. After going to work at the same place for 32*/j years, Tom retired last friday from Bradford White Cor­ poration (five of those years inbetween were for the Vitroglas Corp., which later became part of BWC). As I packed his lunch on Thursday my mind got to doing some rough estimating, and I figure that it has taken at least 6,500 lunches to get him through those years! So one door has closed and another opened as we begin yet another adventure. Each day will be new. Tom's plant friends had a farewell pot-luck lunch for him on Wednesday, and the company and office staff treated us both to a very nich lunch at the Villa on Friday. I’m sure we’ll have some interesting tim­ es as we both adjust to me working and he not. Katie Wieringa and Sue Enders were among the ladies participating in the Middleville Womens City Tournament over the weekend. Ruth Klump went to the Lucille Smalley Past Matrons Club at Bea and Harold Cutler’s in Hastings Saturday with Doritha Coming. Alice Steiner underwent her follow-up surgery on Friday and is recuperating nicely at Pennock Hospital. Again, I ’ve enjoyed the fringe benefit of visiting with the “away” members of our family as we keep each other posted on her progress. Laurie Tuttle and her fiance Paul Gilbert of Muskegon were Sunday afternoon visitors of her sister and family, Mike, Katy, Brett and Kelly Bremer. The Phil Bender family met John and Alice Mc­ Comb at the Essenhaus in Middlebury, Indiana, for dinner Saturday. Fred and Letha Buckingham visited with Clifford and Jennie Davis Tuesday afternoon. Jack and Gerrie Spencer had Sunday dinner with the John Spencer family. Judy Harrison said their weekends are less even­ tful when her folks are in Florida - especially when you are housebound because of fog! They did have Saturday night supper out and enjoyed the band concert on Sunday afternoon. The Bob Hunts met her sister and husband, Sherry and Clay Vaughn in Richland Sunday after­ noon for coffee and a visit. Vance and Diane Hoskins braved the fog Satur­ day to attend the housewarming of a friend in Kalamazoo. Ralph and alberta Kenyon went out for dinner Sunday with two of her grandchildren. Wes, Janette and Jodi Van Rhee went to visit Amy at Grand Valley College and all went out to dinner together. Wendy Van Rhee was among the D&W employees who enjoyed Saturday night dinner at the Penin­ sular Club in Grand Rapids in honor of their Storeof-the-Year award. Last week I met Joanne VanPutten in the store (she’s a hard lady to find at home!) and she told me they had celebrated Grandpa VanPutten’s 86th bir­ thday the week before. Tom and I had spaghetti supper with the Boy Scouts on Saturday, and had Sunday dinner with Tom, Brenda and Lindsay Bremer, (you’d think I retired too!). Later in the day Tom and Brenda visited her grandfather, who had lung surgery at Blodgett earlier in the week. The weather man is telling us what a nice week­ end it is going to be. Does this mean March will come in like the proverbial lamb and go out with a roar? SOME OF THE GREATEST THINGS Scouts Say Thanks! Boy Scout Troop 105 would like to thank the community for its support at their Spaghetti Dinner held last weekend. Approximately $600 was raised toward sending the troop to visit next summer’s National Jamboree at Fort A.P. Hill, Virginia. Other fund raising projects such as their baseball and soccer concession stands, and car washes, will be returning in the spring!

U.S. Savings Bonds. Now paying 10.94%. U.S. Savings Bonds now pay like money market accounts! At the current rate—10.94%— you could double your money in less than seven years. Just hold Bonds for five years and you get the new higher variable rates. Plus, you get a guaranteed return. That’s the kind of change anyone can appreciate. But some of the best things about Bonds haven’t changed. Savings Bonds are still as safe as ever. They’re still exempt from state and local in­ come taxes. And since Bonds cost as little as $25, they’re as affordable as ever. What’s more, Bonds remain a great way to keep our country strong. You can purchase Bonds almost anywhere. At neighborhood banks, savings and loans and credit unions. Or easier still, right through the Payroll Savings Plan where you work.

Reading Club Scholarship Each year the Middleville Womens Reading Club gives an award to a Thornapple Kellogg senior girl who is going on to a college or university, based on scholarship and need. Interested senior girls can pick up an application blank in Mr. McLain’s office in the high school, fill it out and return it to his of­ fice by Thursday, March 28. The award winner will be announced at the senior girls tea Tuesday evening, April 9, when they and their mothers will be entertained by the Womens Reading Club. Jean Norcross of WOTV will be the speaker. The Middleville Womens Reading Club is a bran­ ch of the American Federation of Womens Clubs. Film at First Baptist Sunday The film, “God’s Prison Gang’’ shot behind the walls of New York’s Attica prison, tells the story of how four of the toughest criminals in America’s history found an answer to crime. The answer they found is the same answer for everyone’s problems. The film will be shown at the First Baptist Church of Middleville on Sunday, March 10, 6:00 p.m. Dan Everett, who is the chaplain of the Barry County jail, will be leading the service. He will be telling about the jail ministry in Hastings. There will be two or three testimonies of inmates in the jail. There will also be some special music. Come for an evening of inspiration, information and challenge.

The Middleville Cares committee has been looking for some “hearts that care" and it has found a lot already. Plans for the two dances, one for adults and one for young people, are progressing nicely. The T.K. High School gym will house the sock hop for young people March 15 from 8 p.m. until midnight. The cost will be $2.50 per person with refreshments of pop and pizza available for a small donation. The MiddleVilla has donated the use of its facilities for the adult dance to be held March 22 from 8 p.m. un­ til midnight. Tickets, priced at $15.00 per couple, will be available next week. (Call 795-9785, or 7957444, or stop by the State Farm office at the comer of Main Street and M-37) One goal has been to have as few expenses as possible so that all of the funds raised can go to the relief effort. To this end the committee is requesting that people coming to the adult dance (or members of the community who aren’t coming but who would like to do something to help) please bring a plate of your favorite hors d’oeuvres, relishes, or a bag of chips to put on a “treat buffet”. (This was done two years ago for the Booster ’s dance and the food was fantastic). Ann Bartlett (795-7211) is in charge of this committee. If you’d be willing to help in this way, please call Ann after 6:00 p.m. The music, custom-blended to suit the different taste of each dance group, is being donated, by Ron Howrigon and “K.S.L.W. D.J. and Light Show” of Plainwell. Other projects currently in the works include: A clothing drive which will be chaired by Kathy Doombos (795-7796) and Voni Lucas (765-5439). A bottle and can drive is being planned for the week of March 18, so please put off cleaning the garage a little longer. If you are looking for an idea, how about having some friends over for a card party. Each couple puts some money in the pot before play begins and at the end of the night, instead of dividing the pot between the winners, let Africa be the “winner” and donate it to the campaign. All of the money raised will be deposited in the Hastings City Bank and sent from there to C.A R.E., Inc. (Some organizations or churches may wish to have the funds they raise go through other charities. For example, the Christian Reformed Church’s Sunday School children are raising money for Ethiopia. The funds they raise will be sent through the Christian Reformed World Relief Commission. That’s fine!) We picked C.A.R.E. because it is a very reputable international organization. C.A.R.E. helps with not only the im­ mediate needs, but also with self-help programs designed to get people back on their feet permanen­ tly. All donations are tax deductible. The committee wishes to extend warmest thanks to everyone who is supporting this cause and invitee anyone wanting to volunteer their time, effort, or financial assistance to call: Max and Phyl Miner (795-7444) or Ron and Diana Schreer (795-9785). Middleville really does have “a heart that cares!’’ TK Students Place in Scenario Writing The results of this year’s statewide Future Problem Solving Scenario Writing Competition are in and once again students from Thornapple Kellogg High School have shown that they are capable of competing with students from all parts of the state. Brent Biermacher, Kathy Miner, Kristy Miner and Greg Henry, seniors, and Jacqueline Webb and Brenda Page, juniors, have continued in the strong tradition which is rapidly developing at the high school. (In the past three years five individuals have placed in the top five in the state including Kathy Miner’s first and Kristy Miner's third place finish in last year’s competition.) Although all of the students did a fine job, accor­ ding to their advisor, Kevin Briggs, the performan­ ces of Kristy Miner and Greg Henry were outstan­ ding. Greg, after rewriting and editing his scenario dealing with teenagers and drunk driving five or six times, discovered the night before it was to be sent in, a flaw in the logic of his story. Instead of sending in an inferior product, Greg rewrote his paper and submitted it. For his efforts, Greg placed fourth in the state. Kristy placed third in the state for her scenario about problems which could arise relating to peacetime utilization of nuclear energy. This is the second consecutive year Kristy has been awarded third place in the state. Kristy's scenario, along with the top three scenarios in each of the three divisions (elementary, middle and high school), will be included in a booklet which will be disseminated to all schools associated with this program. The Michigan Future Problem Solving program has sent both Kristy’s and Greg’s effort to Cedar Rapids, Iowa, where they will be involved in inter national competition with outstanding scenarios from across the United States and Canada.

HASTINGS PUBLIC LIBRARY 121 S. CHURCH STRE: Miritiaan 49G5 The public is invited to hear David Roever speak at Thornapple Kellogg High school next Wednesday, March 13, at 8:30 a.m. Roever, burned beyond recognition or hope of survival in the Vietnam war, attributes his remarkable recovery “entirely to a miracle.’’ While serving with the River Patrol Division of the U.S. Navy in South Vietnam, a phosphorus grenade, hit by a sniper's bullet, exploded in roever 's hand six inches from his face as he was poised to throw it into an enemy bunker. He was hospitalized for fourteen months and un­ derwent fifteen major operations.

The Struggle Against Government Waste: Finding and eliminating waste and inefficiency in government programs is an ongoing struggle which the president and Congress must set at highest priority as they pursue deficit reductions. While there have been some successes in recent years, there is still much that can be accomplished. Early in his administration, President Reagan sought the advice of business leaders in addressing this problem, and formed the President’s Private Sector Survey on Cost Control — commonly known as the Grace Commission. The results of the Com­ mission's two-year study were published in 47 volumes addressing 784 issues and listing 2,478 recommendations, quite a work for the President and Congress to ponder. Due to some duplication of research, some of these recommendations were suggested more than once. But even after adjusting for this overlap, there remained 1,635 different recommendations that could be carried out. The President can implement many of these suggestions on his own, but some require changes in law that must go before Congress. The President claims that 70 percent of the Grace Commission recommendations have been carried out or are being proposed in the 1986 budget now before Congress. Many of these recommendations are quite con­ troversial. Often they go beyond simple management savings to suggest significant changes in current programs and policies. In these cases, it is appropriate for Congress to review the recommen­ dations and suggest modifications which still can save money while maintaining important commit­ ments to citizens. Soon the President will be submitting to Congress a detailed report on the dollars saved from im­ plementing each recommendation, and projections for further savings. I look to this report as an ex­ cellent summary of how far we have come — and how far we still have to go — to eliminate gover­ nment waste and control federal spending. ELDON NEWMYER, D.C.

I missed a few of you, but tried to get you. I just finished reading a statement that hit me as something to mull over: “The Master teaches that the habit of criticizing others or fault finding is one of the most serious weaknesses. Besides, it adver­ tises both the vanity and the ill temper of the fault finder.” Ouch! did that ever hit straight at me. I may be sixty-eight, but I seem to be worse than a child with the large amount of things I 've yet to learn. I seem to learn so slowly. Al and LaVonna Sherman just walked in from a two-week vacation in Florida. They had a nice time, but glad to be home. Sue Verlinde said Jim’s been down with a bad back, everyone else has had colds or flu, and one is battling with walking pneumonia. Beth and Leo Verlinde came back from a 6,000 mile, month-long trip to the South and the West. Had a wonderful trip. The only time they had weather problems was in Tennessee and Alabama. They had to stay a while until the roads were open from the bad ice storms. Beth said they always stay off the expressways, using the side roads. You see so much more, at a very relaxed pace. I love traveling that way. The Koeplingers were going out for dinner with some friends Sunday evening. They took their motorcycles out for a short run to see if they were still okay.

With the victory, they advance to the finals of the OK Blue Freshman tournament against Hamilton, who defeated Comstock Park in the first game of the Monday night double header. Caledonia jumped to an early first-quarter lead with some excellent shooting and had an 18-14 ad­ vantage at the end of that stanza. The early part of the second quarter continued to be all Caledonia as they built a 27-20 lead; however, at this point the young Trojans caught fire and walked off the court at halftime with a 36-36 tie. The third quarter proved to be decisive as the TK team changed its press and opened a 50-44 lead as the quarter came to a close. Caledonia continued to battle back and at times came within two points of tying the game. Tim Mesecar again led the Trojans by hitting 8 for 9 from the floor and hauling down six rebounds. Brian Verlinde also had a fine game with 14 points, 5 assists and 7 rebounds. Ross Sprague did a fine job running the offense while canning 13 points and 5 assists. In a real team effort, David Elies was 3 for 6 from the field and 2 for 3 from the foul line to go along with his six rebounds, while Jeff Page played excellent defense in picking off 5 steals to lead the team in that department. Middleville continued to have the luxury of Kevin Martinez coming off the bench to give them needed scoring punch. Kevin chipped in eight points in key offensive surges during the important second and third quarters. The Middleville Freshman basketball team ended their season on Wednesday, February 27, by win­ ning the OK Blue Freshman tournament with a hard fought 52-38 victory over Hamilton. The win gave the young Trojans a perfect 19-0 season record and is the first freshman basketball team in the school’s history to go through a season undefeated. The game started with both teams playing cautiously, and Middleville holding a 9-5 advantage by the end of the first quarter, and a 22-14 lead at halftime. The tempo increased during the third quarter as Middleville widened the gap to 38-25 to end that period of play. Some excellent passing and ball hawking led to some easy baskets during this stretch.The TK team then played the Hawkeyes even down the stretch to notch their final victory of the season. Middleville again showed excellent balance, with Brian Verlinde scoring 14 points and hauling down 9 rebounds; closely followed by Tim Mesecar with 12 points and 9 rebounds. David Elies had an excep­ tional game with 9 points and a game-high 11 rebounds, while Ross Sprague led the fast break and set up the offense while contributing 7 points and 5 assists. Jeff Page and Kevin Martinez both did an outstanding job as they guarded Hamilton's top scorer and held him to just 7 points. The season was a successful one and all 18 players should be commended for a job well done. East, Eair Claims Service? One name sa>s it best.

They’re really not ‘new’ because Doug is a Middleville man and Cindy is the granddaughter of the late Oscar and Florence Kaechele, and they live in the family home on Cherry Valley. Isn’t it nice to see lights in the windows and cars in the yard again? There is a really “new" resident on Bender Road, however, s baby daughter who was born on March 2 to Deb and Dan Donker. Three-year old Jeremiah Donker has been spending a few days with Mart and Cindy Wenger while mom is in the hospital. Dr. and Mrs. R. Jack Chase came out Sunday to attend church with her folks, Clifford and Jennie Davis. Jennie’s sister and husband, Mr. and Mrs. Earl Willyard, also of Grand Rapids, were part of the group too, and the whole family enjoyed eating out together afterwards. Katie Wieringa worked both Friday and Saturday at the State wrestling tournament. Don and Kay Link went to the trailer show at Eastbrook on Thursday. Sunday they drove to Kalamazoo and went out to dinner there. The VanRhee’s celebrated Janette's birthday Friday with dinner out at Branns and then to the basketball game. Jodi Van Rhee played with the TK Band in contest at Grand Rapids Saturday morning, then worked at the W restling tournament. Jodi also played with the band in their concert Sunday afternoon. Wendy Van Rhee and Matt Gross enjoyed dinner out and a movie on Sunday. Sunday dinner guests at the Phil Bender home were Pastor and Mrs. Gary W iley and daughters. Jack and Gerrie Spencer were in Flint on business Saturday so combined it with a visit with son Dave and Jennie Spencer and family. Dr. Richard and Beverly Clark of Hastings were Sunday evening callers of their aunt, Mrs. Ruth Klump. Last Friday Mrs. Fogg accompanied Ruth to the World Day of Prayer service at the United Methodist Church. Mrs. Fogg has an apartment at­ tached to the home of her son and daughter-in-law who now live in the former Phillips home on the cor­ ner of Green Lake and Cherry Valley. She is an in­ teresting lady to visit with, and we hope to in­ troduce the rest of the family in Prairie Sketches soon. Rob Hunt was among the boys who helped John Becker celebrate his birthday on Saturday. Alice Steiner is still an “impatient patient" at Pennock Hospital.

PHONE 795-3900 �The Sun end News, Middleville, Ml I Mar. 14,19851P#. 3 Down Memory Lane WITH NORMA VELDERMAN The Scales Prairie Blockhouse While doing some research on my next column on “Yankee Springs Settlement,’’ I came across this very interesting detailed description of the blockhouse on Scales Prairie, near the corner of Adams and Norris Road. It’s the first time I’d seen such a detailed description, so thought I *d share it with you. My historic godparents. George and Helen Evans, told me about the books, so when I went to the Kalamazoo Public Library to do resear­ ch, there they were. This is from Vol. Ill of Historic Michigan by George Fuller. They took the article “Accounts of Southwest Michigan’’ by Chas. Weisart right out of Vol. Ill and made a separate pamphlet. Just for the fun of it, I drew some sketches of what I thought the article said the block house looked like. Remember, it’s my interpretation of what I read — I’m no expert. The sketches are just that, not to scale - just sort of if-ish - but think I in­ terpreted the placement on the junction of the two roads correctly. So this is not an actual accurate, by-scale legal conclusion - it’s my own interpretation. You know how it goes, when two people read the same senten­ ce. they get two different opinions. So I won’t argue with any as to the right or wrong of the drawing. I just had fun visualizing what I thought the new hand-hewn square log blockhouse looked like. Ann Kenyon said that she had heard that the pioneer women living in the blockhouse while their cabins were being built used to walk west down the now Adams Road to the pond down on the back of Daisy Pender’s and the Steiner’s land, to wash their clothes. It got to be a hot, dusty trip, so the women planted little maple trees on both sides of Adams Road and also down Norris Road as far as the old Charlie Baughman place. I wonder if it could have been done by the Comans or Bassetts when they first came to the area. Just a conjecture - time sequence is about the same. We used to own land along the junction of the two roads and every early spring Johnny would go out and clean up under the old maple trees, they also had a mess under them. We came in 1950, so the trees that were left then would have been about 100 years old. Most of them are gone now. Life goes on, doesn’t it? Even if we don’t like it, we have to roll with the punches. Here’s the story: “The first trader in the Thornapple Valley of which there is any record was Louis Moran, or Moreau, an agent of Robinson’s. He conducted a fur­ trading establishment in an old block-house on Scales Prairie, west of Middleville, and also at Bull’s Prairie, a favorite haunt of the Indians on the river bank nearly ten miles east of the former place. The Dr. Anderson builder of the block-house is unknown. The late, Joseph Cisler, an early pioneer, said that it was erec­ ted early in the century by Charboneau, a trader. It SALUTES stood on a small prairie studded like an orchard with burr oak trees. Near it was the Indian trail between FEBRUARY Kalamazoo and Grand Rapids. The Thornapple Patients of river ford was a short distance northeast. Near this block-house, Louis Campau found growing some the Month apple trees, which he transplanted to his land at Brooke VanElst Grand Rapids.

There were two lower windows on each end Sue Kaechele Josh Carpenter Tamrm Fillmgham Andy Myers Peter Oudbier and a door at the west end. There was a door in the Beth Berry Pat Lewis Helen Sweers Donna Bray partition on the north side of the fireplace. The A bee King Joe Brumsma Jui»e Henderson description of this building was furnished by Gary ^uzijOtenggrsor^ Page to the late Milton F. Jordan of Middleville. Wigwam” were eight or ten dwellings of Potawatomies. This was known as the “Middle Village.’’ “The prairie on which this trading post and In­ dian village stood was a beautiful stretch com prising about sixty acres. It was later called Scales’ prairie, named after Robert Scales of Kentucky, who settled in this region in 1835. He was a contem­ porary of Moreau, the trader. This little open space in the great surrounding forest was dotted with “islands” of burr oak trees, under which undulated before the breeze in long billows grass six feet high. Into this opening wandered attractive multitudes of bees, and one early explorer declared he counted three “bee trees’’ as he stood in one spot. Prairie chickens were continuously about. “Moreau first conducted a trading post, which was established by authority of Rix Robinson on a small prairie named after Albert E. Bull, one of the earliest pioneers of White Pigeon and Schoolcraft. When Mr. Bull arrived in 1836 this building was in ruins. Moreau, leaving this locality, either took charge of the old trading post on Scales prairie or resumed charge of it. At any rate, he was there in 1836, at which time so many persons began to travel the Grand River trail and he saw an opportunity to do a flourishing hotel business. He, therefore, gave up trading as furs were becoming scarcer each year, and fitted up the blockhouse as a tavern. The upper story was made habitable, and the loop holes were provided with glass windows set in rude frames. Here he continued business as a tavernkeeper until the stage route was changed several years later to a route farther east — by of Yankee Springs to Dib­ ble's and Leonard 's Comers. “Moreau was a stocky, dark-complectioned Fren­ ch Canadian, who originally came from Detroit, in­ dependent and thrifty. The first travelers in the wilderness always found shelter under his roof, but they paid big city prices for lodgings and food. Moreau exercised to the limit opportunities for ex­ tortion offered in a field where there was no com* petiton. When one traveler objected to paying five dollars for the privilege of sleeping on the floor and eating a poor breakfast, the landlord politely infor­ med him that “It ees no sign of a zhentleman to dispute a bill. ” “The old blockhouse on Scales prairie was torn down in 1859 by Benjamin Bray and Gary Page. Before its destruction it was said to have been used as a dwelling by at least one hundred families. Its heavy timbers were so solidly fastened with oakpins set in auger holes that teams of oxen with log chains were necessary to tear it down. �41 The Sun and New,.

I am serving on a six-member panel — three representatives and three senators — charged with negotiating a workers’ compensation reform package. The Blanchard administration is par­ ticipating in the discussions, and our goal is to reach an agreement by late spring. First on the agenda is administrative reform. Currently there is a five-year backlog of injury claims pending before the Workers' Compensation Appeal Board. Small wonder. Today cases are initially heard by hearing referees who are not required to develop written findings of fact and con­ clusions of law. Claimants or employers are then allowed to appeal the referee’s decision to the Ap­ peal Board. At that level, evidence may be in­ troduced all over again — without the benefit of written findings from the hearing level below. The Governor’s workers’ compensation advisor. Theodore St. Antoine, has proposed a number of changes in the hearing and appeal process. Senator Doug Cruce and I have also introduced measures to speed consideration of claims and improve the quality of decision-making, including: a new system for the appointment and reappointment of hearing officers so that their performance can be reviewed periodically; required written opinions by hearing officers and more narrow grounds for appealing claims; the encouragement of arbitration to resolve disputes. In spite of recent cost-cutting reforms to our state’s workers’ compensation system, this em­ ployer-paid insurance coverage is still expensive compared to other midwestern states. That ’s why I believe the bi-partisan task force should also tighten the definition of disability — which deals with the question of whether or not an injury is truly workrelated. Prospects? With stronger leadership from the governor, a more philosophically-balanced legislature and Saturn-type investments hinging on business climate improvements, meaningful workers’ compensation reform enjoys a reasonably good chance of passage this year. Another controversial House Floor vote will be taking place shortly. The focus of citizen mail and interest group lobbying has shifted from mandatory seat belts to another long-debated issue: Medicaid funding of abortions. Governor Blanchard recenty vetoed a House - and Senate-passed bill to prohibit the use of state funds for abortions. Generally those who will vote to uphold the Governor’s veto believe that a poor woman’s income status should not make it more difficult for her to choose whether or not to seek an abortion. Other members, myself included, will vote to override the Governor because we believe that the state should not be subsidizing the taking of human life. This question will be decided in the House, where intense pressure is being applied by pro-life and pro­ choice forces to a handful of less-than-firmly com­ mitted representatives. At the moment it appears that the override will succeed by one or two votes. Out of this fierce debate, however, is emerging some consensus. Many of us feel that the estimated $6.5 million, which would be saved annually if Medicaid-funded abortions were cut-off should be appropriated for abortion alternatives, such as sex education, family planning, pre-natal care and adoption services. --------------- - > TK School Menus Week of March 18 k____________________ _____________ / West.

You can avoid some problems caused by a power outage with some simple preparation. In a major power failure, the power company will try to keep the public informed of the progress being made to control the situation. A battery-powered radio will keep you posted. Telephone service is not usually affected by power failure, but it is best not to tie up the power com­ pany switchboard with calls. Use your phone only to report a dangerous or emergency situation. If the power failure occurs at night, your first con­ cern is to provide light to avoid falls and other ac­ cidents. Every home should keep a flashlight or bat­ tery-powered lantern in proper working order. Every home should also keep a supply of readily accessible matches to light candles and kerosene lanterns or lamps.

When the power goes off. go through your house and disconnect appliances that run continuously or off-and-on automatically on electricity, especially those that have heavy starting loads, such as an air conditioner, refrigerator or freezer Unplug the appliances if you can get to the wall outlet without straining to move them. It is also a good idea to unplug appliances such as washers, dry ers, electric space heaters and even televisions to avoid damage from power surges when the power comes back on. When the power goes off for any length of time, temperature-controlled appliances such as refrigerators, freezers and air conditioners, and automatic on-off devides such as pumps that are being used at the time, usually snap to the “on position. When power is restored, all on-off motors will start simultaneously. At the instant of starting most motors require an inrush of current for a few seconds that amounts to between five and 10 times the operating current, a demand that may not be met. And most motors, when deprived of full voltage, will overheat, sometimes dangerously. Disconnect most of the appliances with motors in your household and leave on just a few lamps to tell you when power has been restored. Then you can turn on each appliance separately without overloading your fuses or circuit breaker or damaging the appliance motors. When the power is off. avoid opening and closing the refrigerator and freezer unnecessarily. In a fully loaded freezer, food may remain frozen for as long as 36 to 48 hours (a half-full freezer reduces the time to 24 hours). The food will last almost as long in a refrigerator, but each opening of the door robs you of several hours’ worth of cold. Designate Poison Prevention Week For March 17-23 March 17-23 has been designated as National Poison Prevention Week. The Blodgett Regional Poison Center would like to help people poison-proof their homes with the following suggestions: 1. Keep all medications and hazardous products (i.e.: gasoline, drain opener, pesticides) lucked away when not in use. Other less hazardous items (i.e.: plants, perfume, shampoo) can be kept on high shelves and away from curious eyes. 2. Keep all medications and other products in their original labeled containers. Never store poisonous substances in food or beverage con­ tainers. 3. Call medicine by its proper name. Never suggest that medicine is “candy.” 4. Read all labels carefully before taking medicine or using a product. Follow the directions. However, be careful of antidote information which may be outdated. Find out what measures your doctor or poison center recommends, and follow that advice. 5. Don’t take or give medication in the dark. 6. Avoid taking medication in front of children. They are great imitators of adults. 7. Use the proper measuring device when ad­ ministering liquid medicine. There are special medication spoons and cups now available, which are more accurate than your average household teaspoon. 8. Do not depend on close supervision to prevent a poisoning. Many poisonings occur when an adult is within reach of the child. You cannot watch a child every second. 9. Use child-resistant packaging whenever possible. Do not rely on these, however, to keep a child from being poisoned. Children can open these, especially if they are not replaced securely. 10. If you are interrupted while using a product, take it with you. Poison Centers hear frequently, ‘‘I just left for a second.” That's all the time a child needs to become poisoned. To help in poison-proofing your home, we now have Officer Ugg stickers available. To obtain, send a self-addressed, stamped envelope and 25 cents per sheet to: Officer Ugg stickers, Blodgett Regional Poison Center, 1840 Wealthy St., S.E., Grand Rapids, MI 49506.

This program, co-sponsored by NASA and the National Science Teacher’s Association, invites students from across the country to devise original experiments for possible inclusion in a future shut­ tle mission. These proposals are reviewed by inter­ disciplinary teams of scientists, teachers and in­ dividuals. Cindy'8 proposal, dealing with the potential effec­ ts of low level space magnetism on brain wave fun­ ction, was considered good enough to warrant in­ viting her and her advisor, Kevin J. Briggs, to at­ tend a three-day Space Shuttle Symposium at the NASA Lewis Research Center in Cleveland, Ohio. There Cindy will have the chance to present her proposal to other students and NASA scientists, interact with astronauts, and tour the NASA facilities. After listening to the suggestions and criticisms of the various experts present, Cindy will have the opportunity to rewrite her proposal and resubmit it. From these regional winners, ten will be picked as national winners and will receive serious con­ sideration for a future shuttle mission. Plan ‘Safe’ Party for Caledonia Graduates The graduating seniors from Caledonia High School will have an alternative to graduation parties this year. The parents of the senior class have given a planning committee strong support to go ahead with plans for an all-night party for their graduates, called Graduation Celebration ’85. Approximately five hours after the graduation ceremonies, the seniors will be taken by bus to an undisclosed area where they will be provided with a variety of activities through the night, including a dance. Following breakfast, the seniors will be returned to the school at 6:00 a.m. This type of graduation party has been very suc­ cessful in other local schools, and will be the first time it has been attempted at Caledonia. The Board of Education gave their enthusiastic support for the “all-nighter” and are providing the bus transpor­ tation. The cost for the seniors will be $30 each, to be supplied by their parents. There will be no out-of* pocket expense to the graduates during the night, as everything will be provided. The seniors will not be told where they are going, or what they will be doing ... surprises all the way! For more information call Beth Timmer (8911463) or Maurice Mills (698-6231). / MIDDLEVILLE, MICHIGAN 49333 / Budding Poets ALL THE KIDS at Middleville's McFall Elementary School have turned into writers and poets!

L___ _ _ ——————' To: Everyone involved The first two weeks of March were busy weeks for all of ua here at the high school. The two tournamen­ ts that we hosted were successful and profitable because of the efforts made by a great many people. Events of this magnitude would be impossible to host without a great deal of help. I would like to thank the staff. Boosters, the student body, paren­ ts, and everyOne who helped to make these events memorable. Thank you from all of us. Ray Page, Athletic Director Letter to the Editor: It was indeed “ A time to start giving” — and the young people of Middleville did their share. The Success of the young people’s “Middleville Cares" dance on Friday night proved that they really cared. It was a very special feeling when a loud cheer was heard, after announcing that with everyone’s help — over one thousand dollars had been raised. Thank you to everyone who did their part This includes all the behind-the-scenes work and effort, planning, organization, contributions, and hard work on all who helped. But we could never have been so productive - without the support from the young people. You were all great - because you cared and you were there! Thanks again. Fred and Ann Hannapel REPORT The March meeting of the Middleville Jaycees will be Wednesday the 20th at 7:30 p.m. at the VFW Hall downtown. The highlight of the February meeting was guest speaker, David Tripp. The Hastings attorney ad­ dressed the growing national concern of drunk driving, its prevention and legal ramifications of conviction. Prior to Mr. Tripp’s presentation, the Jaycees commended an award of recognition to Ken Schutte for his participation in the Jaycees Sesquicentennial Celebration project. Ken provided the transportation essential for the Jaycees parade exhibit. The membership was disappointed in learning that further progress on the Middleville Riverside Park has been postponed due to a withdrawal of potential Federal funding as part of the Community Revenue sharing Program. The Jaycees plan to con­ tinue their land renovation at the site to further im­ prove the value of the property while considering new development possibilities. And plans are already in progress for the annual Middleville Jaycees Easter Egg Hunt. Mark April 6, Middle Villa grounds, on your child’s calendar for that fun-filled community event.

Here’s a random list of news items about which people have commented in recent weeks: Great Lakes Water Diversion. Governor Blan­ chard recently joined other midwest governors and Canadian representatives in signing a Great Lakes Charter to prevent water diversions and encourage water planning in our region. At the same time, the House and Senate have passed a package of bills committing our state to the same goals outlined in the charter. These actions are important steps toward forging a stronger political alliance to prevent the diversion of water from the Great I>akes to more arid regions of our nation. Such regional unity is absolutely necessary, as the final decision over Great I>akes water use will likely be pre-empted by the federal government. Sand Dune Protection. The Citizens Sand Dune Advisory Committee recently submitted to the Governor a report recommending stronger state measures to protect the 275,000 acres of identified "sand dune areas" in Michigan. The Sand Dune Protection and Management Act currently provides the state with authority to regulate the removal of sand for commercial or industrial purposes. However, a lack of funding for enforcement and a need for more detailed, comprehensive management standards have hindered protection efforts. The Advisory Committee wants those problems ad­ dressed. They also would like to see state gover­ nment involvement in developing model zoning or­ dinances which local governments would be exected to enact in order to protect sensitive dune areas. This is a report which I hope the legislature will not ignore. Many of its recommendations should be adopted. Road Salt. Occasionally I hear from motorists who are unhappy about the quantity of salt being applied to state roads during the winter. One legislator has introduced a bill that would ban the use of salt on our highways. Now the Department of Transportation has established a task force to ad­ dress concerns about damage to cars, roads, and the environment caused by salt. The group will study possibilities for reducingsalt use and explore de­ icing alternatives, including chemical and sand mix­ tures. It would be nice to have some positive ideas before we are blanketed by the next Michigan win,er. Farm Crisis. The 54th District is like many agricultural regions of the nation today. The finan­ cial problems facing our farmers are extremely serious for some, and not so bad for others. With Congress and the President wrestling over farm credit and production subsidy questions, I received a heartening comment during a recent luncheon with area farmers. That is, Michigan tax policies have made it a little easier for many agricultural producers to weather the storm. Last year nearly $32 million was saved because of the sales tax LUKAS' COUNTRY INN Located in the Village of Freeport Featuring BROASTED CHICKEN Takeout Available Hours: Mon.-Thur*. 7am-7pm, Fri.-Sat. 7»m-8 30pm NEW OWNERS WALT & FRAN LUKAS exemption on the sale of personal property which is related to agricultural production. Those farmers who have chosen to place their land in the state far­ mland preservation program saved some $52.4 million in property taxes. And unlike some other states which rely on the agricultural industry. Michigan imposes no state business tax on farmers. They are exempt from the Single Business Tax. Unemployment Tax Blues. Because of Michigan's five-year, double-digit unemployment rates, taxes paid by employers to cover unemployment benefits have soared. Liberal qualification standards and state management problems have also driven costs up. For example, Michigan distinguished itself with a recent ruling that will allow those air traffic con­ trollers who were fired in 1981 for illegally striking to collect jobless benefits. Legislation making public employees who illegally strike ineligible for unemployment benefits will soon be introduced. Meanwhile, the Michigan Employment Security Commission is trying to make the best of a fiasco by proclaiming that its new computerized system to serve jobless workers will reduce overpayments by $33 million each year. There are two problems. The automated system has not been working well so far. And incredibly, what was a $17 million plan to in­ stall the system has turned into an $81.5 million cost — with the huge overrun tab supposedly to be picked up by already hardpressed employers. A Senate Labor Committee investigation of this mess is now underway. VILLAGE of CALEDONIA SUMMARY of COUNCIL MINUTES L J Newly elected officers of the council were sworn in by the Clerk.

In the same way, one piece of legislation is not going to cure Michigan's work session. Kegrreis reported on the Michigan Municipal escalating crime problem. For that reason, Republican legislators have sponsored a com­ League Legislative Conference. Kidder reported on the Fire Board meeting. prehensive eight-bill package called “Safe Streets ”, Other items discussed during the meeting were: addressing a number of the problems which are part possible bi-annual election. Village owned snow and parcel of the whole dilemma. The cornerstone of the package is a group of bills plow, car wash at the Mall, Sam’s sprinkler system, adopting sentencing guidelines and requiring man­ Village President’s power to vote, County drain, datory minimum sentences for certain crimes and Mayor Exchange Day and using an agenda. Motion by DeVries, supported by Klaver to ad­ habitual offenders. These bills are designed to Jacqueline Cherry reduce the disparity and delays in sentencing, and journ at 11:06 p.m. Carried. Village Clerk built more consistency into sentences for criminals. With stiffer sentencing guidelines, however, there must be more prison space. One part of the program would increase the State Bonding authority, ear­ marking a large portion of new prison construction. Another bill in the package will repeal the Emergen­ cy Powers Act, which allows the Governor to reduce prison sentences causing early releases if prisons become too overcrowded. Since the Act went into ef­ fect in 1978, more than 2,000 prisoners have been released early. Another bill would tax possessors of illegal drugs and use the proceeds for the County Jail Assistance Program and the State Police Habitual Offender Task Force. Those people caught with a controlled -OFsubstance will be taxed at ten percent of the street value of the drug: and if they do not have sufficient cash, state officials may tap into their assets to pay the tax. An important part of any crime program is the NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN that the annual prevention aspect, and “Safe Streets" offers three township meeting of the electors of the Town­ different recommendations. One bill would create a ship of Thornapple, County of Barry, State Single Business Tax credit for employers who hire of Michigan, will be held at the disadvantaged youths during the summer. Poor and minority youth have the unfortunate distinction of showing the highest unemployment rates, and boredom and frustration resulting from idleness can lead to a life of crime. That is also the motivation behind another facet of the package which is a program providing educational and vocational training for delinquent youth. The final part of the MIDDLEVILLE, MICHIGAN package would ban the practice of placing abused and neglected children and runaways in jail. If they don't start out there, maybe they won’t end up there. To effectively deal with such a broad-based problem as crime, we must take a broad-based ap­ proach. The “Safe Streets" package is just that type of approach.

I had so much fun doing it. But I found I made one big mistake. In talking with Esther Walton, Mercedes French had told her a few years ago that the logs in the blockhouse went up and down, not side to side. So mentally picture them this way. If anyone knows of a picture of the blockhouse I’d sure love to be proved wrong. Marion and Neal Cook have written the nicest ar­ ticle on Bowens Mills Mill. Neal did some really sharp sketches. I hope it gets printed, too, as I know you folks will be as interested in it as I was. 1 hope you folks will be interested in some other historical facts I found on A. E. Bull. When I told my hubby about it he said, “For the love of pete, who cares one way or another.’’ I hope you won't be as bored with it as he was. Whenever you’re reading and researching on a particular story, you come across statements that make you stop and think - you’d better check that before you put it in your article. I kept coming across the statement “On a trip to Detroit, Bull met a man who offered to give him a bargain on land in our area. So he purchased 1,000 acres at one dollar and twenty five cents.’’ I bet he was a land speculator who found the set­ tlers wouldn’t go for his ballooned prices. They had people than, as we do now, whose personal greed caused inflated land prices. Back to the stor/. Barbara Foreman and Missy Westerman at the Abstract office said they would check for me to see exactly what, where and how much land A.E. Bull really held title to. It could be patent land and non-patent land (if there is such a word. So what they looked for was: 1) Total acres of land he owned in this area and 2) Similarity of pur­ chase dates or close together. They found that A.E. Bull owned 402.28 acres of patent land in Irving and Rutland Townships and 487.53 acres of non patent land in Irving, Rutland and Carlton Townships. The 889.81 acres were pur­ chased between 1832 and 1855. In 1868 A.E.Bull purchased 85 acres in Rutland Township. Albert Ebenezer Bull died in 1864, so it had to be his nephew, Albert Eton Bull Jr. (so called by the Barry County Probate court in settling A.E.Bull Sr.’s estate.) They couldn’t find any big purchase of land in this area, just two or three at one time and then not a huge acreage. I ’ve found the same thing happening for Yankee Bill Lewis. You find it repeatedly through many articles, even his daughter quotes it, that Lewis owned 1,000 acres of land during his lifetime. The Abstract office did a search and found it to be a much lower actual acreage. Hope you weren’t too bored. I try to make sure if I say a thing, it's backed by fact. If it is someone else’s recollection, I say so. If it’s just adding several facts, points to a certain possibility, etc. • I say so. I’m trying to preserve history with facts, or as people recall from their own personal recollection.

Now these three warriors knew they might be killed trying to kill the dragon. These three warriors names were Jason, Matt and Dana. Well, should we get on with the story? The warriors began to call themselves knights. Well the knights set off to the mountains where the dragon lived. And on the way there they met up with the screeching mountain lion and the yelling grizzly bear. But after two weeks they got to the dragons cave. Jason said, ’’Let’s rest here and attck in the morning.' Matt said. “Ya. we’ll need all the rest we can get.” Morning finally came. They approached the cave slowly, but the dragon was up already and the poor knights didn’t feel a thing when the dragon snuck up behind them and swallowed them in one gulp. The villagers didn’t know what happened, but they never returned.

Not too warm so the growing things get too early ideas, but so nice and sunshiny. Have you noticed the changes in daylight? I used to have to wait quite a while to take my morning walk before breakfast because it was dark - now I’m barely through with my exercises and I can go out. I guess spring is my most favorite time of the year. Everything is starting out new. I feel so charged up and rarin' to go. When Joe and Florence Fiala were showing us where the old saw and feed mill used to be across the road from them in Yankee Springs, I accidentally stepped on a skunk cabbage. So 1 know spring is here. Did you history buffs realize that Yankee Bill Lewis bought 20 acres on Turner Creek for a sawmill in 1850, when he was planning on building a new tavern or stagecoach stop? This was when the con­ struction of plank roads just starting in this area. He’d already built several miles of plank road him­ self. Then they built a plank road connecting Kalamazoo and Grand Rapids where US 131 or Division used to run. That sounded the death knoll for his Kalamazoo to Grand Rapids stagecoach run. Rod and Carol Kenyon are off to California for a NAPA convention. Carol Sanford is up north visiting her folks in Vulcan, near Iron Mountain. Joe said she called when she got there. There is still lots of snow and it was even snowing when she got there. Saturday Kathy and Jim Oliver attended the Elks St. Patricks Day dance. Young Jim Verlinde is home from MSU s spring break. They all went out to Beth and Leo Verlinde's Sunday to celebrate Jimmy 's birthday. One of the Lewis boys said their friend Pat Collins has a birthday Friday. How about Dick Smith breaking his leg - the first time he went, supposedly, ice fishing? H never even got on the lake. He'd been waiting for the snow and ice on land to disappear so he wouldn’t fall, and hit just a small slippery spot and it happened. He's had a pretty rough winter starting with his leg surgery last fall, now six more weeks of forced vacation. Good luck, Dick’ Char Finkbeiner had a very lovely birthday weekend. She and Rod spent the weekend in Ionia with their friend Audrey Fox and ate out while there. Monday Rod took her out to dinner, then stopped over Monday evening to show me her lovely paper doll book Carol brought her from England. Rod also brought some history stuff to swap with me. Then Tuesday evening she had corned beef and cabbage. Char was born on St. Pat’s Day just shortly after 12 - and Doc Swift told Ann to hurry up and have the baby because his corned beef and cabbage dinner was waiting. So they always have a corned beef and cabbage dinner to celebrate her bir­ thday. Don Williamson came home from out east for his college spring break Cathy and Don Sr. just retur­ ned from a lovely week in Florida. They got to see Epcot Center which they hadn’t seen before. John and Sue were home this weekend to visit his folks, Bill and Rosie Chambers. John and Linda Long called while they were here and the rest of the family came for dessert, so the house was full. Dorothy and Don Dean had Hilary and Jake Blough overnight Friday and Saturday, so their folks could go to a wedding. Sunday Becky and Dave Your Day?

The Sim and News, Middleville, Ml I Mar. 21,1985 I Pg. 9 and girls and an old Grand Rapids neighbor, Mary Feidel and son Andy came to visit. She had come home from Oklahoma, so they had a real lovely visit. Mary is Becky 's age so they had a lot of catching up to do. Mrs. Featherly said Vick and Sue Featherly had a lb. boy last Tuesday. She named him Joel. When I worked at the hospital last Tuesday I saw the name Featherly and went up to say a quick Hi - but she was still out from the anesthesia. I ve never met any of the Featherly children. I’ve visited every week with the mom, so I wanted to start meeting them, but will have to do it sometimes later. Luana and Lynn Tolan went out to dinner Sunday then visited the Gerald Ford Museum. In the evening they attended the slide show presented by Rev. Brad Kalajainen of his recent trip to the Holy Land, so Luana said they had a very relaxing and enjoyable family Sunday.

We are looking for someone who has an old pickup truck or trailer to haul our barrels of metal from the Middleville recycling center to Summit Steel in Hastings every two months or so. RiBC will pay for the gas and volunteers will help load the barrels onto the truck. Barrels can be left near the gate and picked up the next day if Summit Steel is closed at the time con­ venient for the person dropping them off. Steve Biermacher has been doing this for us for 2V4 years and is unable to do it now. We all ap preciate Steve's dedication and support. He has made it possible for Middleville to recycle ap­ proximately tons of metal over the past years, thus keeping it out of the landfill. Thank you Steve! Anyone with a truck or trailer interested in donating some of their time and energy to this wor­ thy effort can call Jackie Schmitz at 795-7897. Remember to recycle your clean clear glass jars and bottles and clean flattened aluminum and tin cans. Paper labels must be removed from metal cans but need not be removed from glass.

These materials can be brought at any time to either the Middleville site located behind the Middle Mart Party store on M-37 or the Hastings site located in the fire station parking lot. The Caledonia site, located next to Caledonia Foods on M-37, ac­ cepts bundled newspapers (no shiny magazines, please), old phone books and clean, flattened, labelfree plastic milk jugs as well as glass and metal. Used oil from changing the oil in your car can be brought in a plastic milk jug or other convenient container to any service station displaying the black and yellow sign “Recycle Used Oil Here”.

Main St. Middleville, Mi. 795-3345 sequently assigned to Federal National The amount of money spent on U.S. agricultural products, including exports, accounts for about 20 percent of the nation s gross national product and more than 22 percent of its jobs, says John Finkbeiner. President of Kent County Farm Bureau and a local supporter of the annual Agriculture Day ob­ servance on March 20. Finkbeiner said that those calculations have been made by Agriculture Department and other govern­ ment economists and statisticians. They are being given greater exposure in the educational materials for Agriculture Day developed by the Agriculture Council of America Education Foundation. Gross national product, or GNP, is a commonly used statistic that measures the flow of goods and services in the economy. The flow of agricultural products — including food, clothing, tobacco, shoes, cut flowers, seeds and potted plants • generates more than $74 billion in production agriculture and $553 billion in the economy off the farm, the studies show. Likewise, Finkbeiner said, 87.5% of the 24 million jobs in the business of food and fiber - from farm suppliers to retailers - are off the farm. Food and clothing manufacturing alone accounts for 4.6 million jobs, with transportation, wholesaling and retailing providing 8.1 million. Farm exports alone are a major source of new jobs, with an estimated 31,600 created by each ad ditional $1 billion in increased exports. The value of those exports rose in 1984 by about $3 billion from the year before, but that came on the heels of two years of declines from the 1981 peak of $43.3 billion. Many jobs were lost in the process but could be recovered as this key economic activity picks up again.

However, so many of you say “nothing is hap­ pening’’ that sometimes if it weren’t for the fun of visiting with you all, we wouldn't even bother. But it’s spring now and tremendous things are happening as the powerful force of nature is gathering momentum for the annual “bursting for­ th’’ of new life. The Lenten season seems a natural time for us to reflect on this Power and try to fit some ’bursting forth’ of new life from within our­ selves too. I do not know Mike and Betty Raber, but pray for them in the ’going home* of their son Joshua Michael this week. I’m sure lots of children will get extra hugs this week - and well they should. I also salute the family for the courage and faith to turn their tragedy into triumph by providing the livesaving means for another child somewhere. Judy Harrison said her folks, Elmer and Ethel Wiesenhofer, returned home from Florida last week, so mom cooked Sunday dinner for the family and they celebrated the March birthdays, including dad's. Fred and Letha Buckingham attended the funeral last week of a former fellow worker, George Slocum of Hastings. Sue and Dave Enders were among those who donated to the local Lions Club via their annual Las Vegas night Saturday. (Prefer to make my donation by way of their chicken dinner coming up in April!) Ruth Klump was a Sunday dinner guest of George and Mabel Foote where all of their family had gathered to help celebrate the 2nd birthday of Ruth’s great-grandson. Jon Komarmy, son of Linda and Mitch. Mr. and Mrs. Earl Willyard of Grand Rapids called on her sister and husband, Clifford and Jennie Davis, Sunday afternoon. We wish for an easy tran­ sition for Clifford and Jennie as they begin their new life at the Clark home this week. Shanda and Noah Wenger were Tuesday night supper guests of Grandpa and Grandma, Bob and Helen. Helen also said they’d picked up Colleen and Rollie Cox at the airport upon their return from a short Florida vacation. The Phil Bender family helped celebrate the 4th anniversary of the Wesleyan Church on Sunday. Pastor Wiley and daughters were Monday lunch guests at the Benders. I could repeat the paragraph about Alice Steiner last week. She remains a patient at Pennock and we are ‘cautiously optimistic’ that she will be home for good soon. Some of the family took a cake to the hospital Monday night so Alice could join in singing (even if she couldn’t eat) Happy 75th Birthday to husband Fritz. Sunday dinner guests at our house were son John, Kellie Hamman, Fritz Steiner, Judy Thompson, Amy, Andy and Jeff, and Andy’s friend, Bruce Wyatt of Hastings. Later others of the family came to help celebrate Kellie's birthday. By the time you are reading this, Tom and I, hopefully, will be visiting our Kentucky children the first stop on our family visiting-go-to-a-weddingtrip to Florida. We’ll be back before you know it and raking the lawns just like the rest of you. Middleville's Emergency Food Bank, located in the local United Methodist Church, is still in business.

LUKAS' COUNTRY INN Located in the Village of Freeport Featuring BROASTED CHICKEN • Takeout Available Hours: Mon -Thun. 7am-7pm; Fri Sat 7am 8 30pm NEW OWNERSWALT & FRAN LUKAS �Flp’TlR’Thi Sen and News, MMMt, Ml I March 28.1985 LANSING DIARY by PAUL HILLEGONDS 54th DISTRICT STATE REPRESENTATIVE Tax Cat Ahead? The House Taxation and Ap­ propriations Committees have been meeting with various economists and state fiscal experts. To prepare for budget and tax policy decisions slated for later this spring, we are trying to sort out con­ flicting economic projections for Michigan. Assuming the Governor’s originally proposed spending level for next year is adopted, estimates of the surplus have ranged from 869.9 million to 8361.9 million in 1986. This is in addition to the 8663 million which would be stored in the “rainy day fund”, a state savings account tapped during recessionary periods. With visions of a budget sur­ plus and resulting income tax roll back dancing in legislative heads, economists are urging us to be cautious. Why? For starters, after announcing with great fanfare a zero growth budget for 1985-86, Governor Blanchard's budget advisers are admitting that as much as 8130 million in planned expenditures-for example, prison construction-were not included in that proposed budget The lifting of auto import quotas and federal budget cuts could also have a short-term impact on our state budget-perhaps a loss of 8100 million or more. On the bright side, revenue is better than expec­ ted and welfare caseloads are on the decline. Still the combination of fiscal factors probably will mean a leaner surplus and less tax relief than the Senate hoped for when it passed its plan to raise the per­ sonal exemption and reduce the state income tax rate to 4.6 percent byjanuary 1,1986. To complicate the tax debate in the House, Governor Blanchard will soon be announcing his own income tax roll back and property tax relief plan. However, to “pay” for that plan, he will likely be proposing a new premium tax on insurance com­ panies, a heavier tax burden on financial in* stitutions, and the closing of some smaller tax exemptions. I intend to remain open to the Governor's ideas for closing some so-called tax “loopholes” coupled with lower tax rates for all taxpayers. But I also believe the legislature should hold Governor Blan­ chard to his promise of a zero growth budget-which would require budget cuts to offset the “spending adjustments” he will be adding to his original proposal. Finally, I am floating a tax relief idea of my own. With the uncertain economic olutlook facing our state, we should consider establishing a tax roll back escrow fund. The goal of this plan would be to return our state income tax rate as quickly as LOCAL CHURCH ST.

This goal might best be accomplished by placing state tax monies that ex­ ceed spending and revenue projections into escrow for the remainder of this year. That fund would be used solely for the lowering of the income tax rate in 1986, the date to be determined later this year dep­ ending on the size of the surplus. Such a plan would only work if the Governor and legislators agreed to pass a zero growth budget in fact. Indeed, any taxing and spending decision we make in May and June will hinge on the bottom line budget target which is established within the next few weeks. IN TOUCH BY REPRESENTATIVE BOB BENDER Cigarette Tax Money for Education One of the continuing cries we have heard throughout the past several years is the decling role, in terms of financing, the state has assumed for public education. Figures clearly show that the state share of funding for education has been steadily declining over the past 10-12 years. With the Governor proposing increases in educational funding, this trend has been slowed or perhaps even reversed in the last two years. The legislature has gone even further and increased funding for education greater than the governor proposed. Some time later this year the ten cents per pack cigarette tax that was passes in 1982 will expire, the purpose of that tax was to help bail the state out of the financial mess we were in at that time. I recently co-sponsored legislation in the House of Representatives that would earmark that ten cents on cigarettes for state school aid. The bill would also put an end to the “forward funding” of school aid. begun by state govoernment during the 1982 recession. The problems began when the state reduced the school aid payment to schools by 872.3 million in 1982. At that same time, the legislature amended the state aid act to restore the money on June 30, 1983. This allowed the state to cut its spending for that fiscal year and schools to officially balance their books. A similar reduction of 815 million was made in 1983. Local school officials now want the previous aid schedule restored so they can have funds on hand in August when they face start up costs as the school year begins. In some cases, the districts now have to borrow to cover these costs, particularly when they do not collect summer property taxes. The legislature in­ tended this to be a temporary adjustment, not a permanent policy. It’s time to end this practice. Whenever the legislature returms to the former schedule, it must add $87.3 million to the state aid fund for that fiscal year. The bill would reimburse each school district which lost funds by putting the cigarette tax money into an “Education Repayment Account.” Economic times have greatly improved and the state is once again financially sound. It’s time to end all of the budget gimmicks of past years, and put our schools back on top of the funding priority ladder.

Nine years ago Jim Gehl, a former resident of Caledonia, was diagnosed as having amyotrophic lateral sclerosis-*‘Lou Gehrig s Disease*-and has seen the gradual onset of the disease in his life. Gehl. the son of Ralph and Thelma Gehl of Caledonia, recently quit his job in Seattle and is returning to his parents* home where they plan to care for him. Those people suffering from ALS need special equipment as the disease progresses, and with that in mind the Gehls have joined a Grand Rapids area support group for ALS victims. The support group is seeking to raise money so that the equipment may be purchased and then borrowed by ALS patients. They need wheel chairs, body lifters, walkers, etc., to help these people to cope with the disease. Each support group family member donates ’20 per year to keep the group together and to plan projects to earn money for the equipment The Gehl s are planning a garage sale in the near future and are seeking items that could be sold for the ALS benefit. ‘‘If anyone has anything they could donate-usable or wearable, we would appreciate it if you would drop it off at 601 Emmons St., Caledonia, *’ said Mrs. Gehl. She added that if it is impossible to deliver the donated items, please call 891-8557 and the goods will be picked up. The date of the garage sale has not yet been set.

Responding to a growing number of criminal sexual child abuse cases, coupled with a low convic­ tion rate for offenders, two state senators in­ troduced bipartisan legislation today imposing tougher sentences, especially for habitual child­ abusers, and providing for counseling treatment to deal with inter-family rape and incest. A portion of the package also allows an abused child to be questioned on closed-circuit television instead of being cross-examined in court The cornerstone of the nine-bill package is legislation mandating minimum sentences for those convicted of criminal sexual conduct with a child. First degree criminal sexual conduct would carry a mandatory minimum sentence of five years, while second and third degree offenses would bring a minimum of 90 days in prison. In addition, the court Middleville United Methodist Church There will be an Easter Sunrise Service at the Caledonia Christian Reformed Church, corner of M37 and 100th Street, on Sunday, April 7, 6:30 a.m. The service will be held outside by the pond, weather permitting, and there will be special music.

Everyone is welcome! may require the defendant to pay the medical and psychological costs of the victim. Priority would be given to sexual abuse cases where the child is less than 17 years old. During the trial, a part of the package allows the child to be placed in another room, while the rest of the participants could observe the child’s testimony on a television monitor in the courtroom. Through an intercom system, the defendant’s attorney could then cross-examine the child without forcing the child to face the emotional stress of a courtroom set­ ting. A part of the package also stipulates that the en­ tire family be evaluated with a multi-disciplinary assessment test to determine not only what sort of treatment would be best for the family, but also which offenders are beyond help. The purpose of the package is not only to stiffen the penalties for offenSee SEX ABUSE, Page 12 Plan St. Jude Benefit Bike-A-Thon for Middleville Folks The Central Regional Office of St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital has announced that Mrs. Leslie Griffith and Mrs. Fred Krueger have agreed to chair the St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital Bike-aThon in Middleville.

The Barry County History Book Committee that is compiling information of family histories of Barry County residents for the new Barry County History Book to be published by them, is collecting names of * veterans from Barry County who served in World War I & II. Korean War and Vietnam so they can be placed in a special honor roll in the book. Names of men and women who served from Barry County will be collected on a volunteer basis as no county government or state branch in Lansing has a complete list to be used. Lansing has, however, Barry County veterans listed in over 600 rolls of microfilm, but they are not separated from other counties. The Book Committee is collecting names on a volunteer basis by having signup lists throughout Barry County at banks and businesses so veterans or family members of deceased vets can report their name for the honor roll. Middleville area residents can report their veterans at the Hastings City Bank branch in Mid­ dleville. If any veteran would like to be included in this special roll of honor, would he or she please submit their name, war they served, and branch, to the Barry County Book Committee at Hastings, Michigan, by writing them at 912 East State Street, Hastings, MI 49058, or phoning 945-4874, 9455471, or 671-4100. The Barry County Book Committee takes pride in remembering their brave Barry County Vetems who served by giving them this place of honor in a oncein-a-lifetime opportunity.

In recent months, the word “deficit always seems to be teamed with “budget.” But there s another kind of deficit that is a real problem in our nation and state — the international trade deficit. The trade deficit, the difference between the value of goods a country exports and the value of goods it imports, rose to over $176 million by 1982. Accor­ ding to the U. S. Department of Commerce, only 30.000 of the nation s 250.000 manufacturing companied export their products. In fact, 150 large companies account for two-thirds of all U.S. expor­ ts. State legislators believe Michigan can cash in on an under-utilized market, and have introduced a proposal to create the Michigan Export Develop­ ment Authority. The legislation is modeled after a plan started by Illinois, with help from the U. S. Dept of Commerce, designed to aid primarily small and medium-sized companies. The legislation, currently under con­ sideration by the Senate, allows MExD A to provide loan guarantees, loan insurance and financial coun­ seling to companies who may benefit from markets abroad. Also, the authority could provide infor­ mation to, and act as a clearinghouse for. potential “gXIhe proposal, an 11-member board would be created, with the Director of the Department of Commerce and the Department of Agriculture serving as permanent members. The remaining nine members would be appointed by the Governor, with Senate consent, to staggered terms of three years. At least six of the nine appointees must be from the an expansion of Michigan s economy and job market. MExDA can help speed that reduction and put more of Michigan in the export business. nn()unce S()n Dave and Liz Beckering of Gun Lake announce the birth of a son.

Caledonia Seniors Study Indians After studying and learning the heritage of the American Indians in the Leisure Time classes, the Caledonia Area senior citizens had two Indians speak on their heritage on March 27. The first speaker. Jon Johns, is partly blind and uses a white cane which he has made and is 76 years old. He is from Harbor Springs near Petoskey and from the Chippewa Tribe of the Little Traverse Band. The other speaker was born in Oklahoma and his Indian name was Kenwaw Kissie. He was well educated in his younger years and attended many colleges. His father was a minister and very strict to his religion. Kenwaw told us there were 56 different tribes of Indians in Oklahoma. He loved to sing, so became quite talented in his spiritual songs and the use of the Indian language and dialect with his han­ ds. We were told that in the Grand River bands of Ot­ tawa are around 2500 in Kent county and the enrollment in Michigan is 8000. Kenwaw is now living in Grand Rapids with his family. If anyone wants to know about our American Indians, come and visit our Wednesday class and listen to our topics and discussions about what really has gone on after they settled here in Michigan.

He loved to tease us by making the horse go a little faster. He was tall and strong, and his long legs seemed to cover twice as much ground as ours did. We had to go like mad to keep up, which meant we spilled some of the sap. The surface of the ground was not smooth, we had snow, mud, ice, sticks and roots which made the footing tricky. We’d usually end up dirty and sticky. WITH NORMA VELDERMAN We’d draw the tank full of sap back to the fire, em­ pty it into the boiling pan or extra tank, and go back for more, until all the buckets were empty. Then we spent the rest of the day boiling down all the sap and drawing off the syrup, putting it into 10 gallon milk cans to be taken up to the house, where Aunt The cool, frosty nights and warmer days that Ida would finish it and put it in one-gallon tins ready we’ve experienced recently have reminded me that to sell. My biggest memories are of the nights. We stayed sugaring t ime must be here. My Aunt Ida and Uncle Alvah Pease had a sugar bush for a few years, and I up boiling the sap down, tending the fire, and was fortunate enough to come out one year during drawing off each finished pan. When we got sleepy there was one army cot for the three of us to sleep my spring vacation to help (?). They had a horse drawn stone boat with a on. All three of us had to sleep on our sides, rotating galvanized water tank to haul the sap in. Our job about every 30 minutes. The one nearest the fire got was to go along between the rows of trees, empty up. stirred the sap and added more wood to the fire. «tf I iTte Sun and Nrwt, Middterdt, Ml I Apr. 4.1985 Down Memory Lane Maple Sugar Time The other two scooted over and you got to sleep in back. Boy, was it cold there, even with all your clothes on. The one in the middle was the warmest. You either were too hot (one nearest the fire), too cold (one in back) or just starting to go to sleep (the mid­ dle), when whammy, you moved again. My cousin Donna and I were not too big, but Clifford was a big tall guy, so you know who got the biggest share of the cot. You were either hanging on to the side of the cot to keep from squashing the one in the middle, or you were arguing over the quilt slipping off. But, in spite of the discomforts, dirt and stickiness, being kids, you had a good time. Sometimes the weather was ideal and the sap had a heavy run. You were always working against the weather, too mild, too cold, or too warm. You need cold nights and cool days over 32* to keep the sap running. You couldn’t draw sap if the trees started to wake up and start leaves. Sap was better. I can remember Uncle Alvah complaining it was such a short run, not worth all the work of setting up the sugar bush. Maple Syrup sold for $3 a gallon and wages were $20-25 a week. Things are changed now with hoses running from the trees to an evaporator shed with stainless steel tanks, etc. --------- TK School Menus Week of April 8 Offering a brokerage service for those who make their own decisions.

The committee was established after a task force on which I served last year proposed that the House improve its process of evaluating state programs. We found that program analysts in the state depar­ tments, the Auditor General and legislative fiscal experts already are investigating how state programs can be operated more efficiently. However, the legislature has not adequately organized itself to fully use those reports and adopt the policy changes which often are necessary to carry out cost-cutting recommendations. As the ranking Republican on the Oversight Committee, I am working with other legislators to define how our committee can strengthen the House s watchdog role - without stepping on toes of influential committee chairpersons who in too many cases have neglected oversight responsibilities. Our plan is to bring all standing committees into a more disciplined process. We have recommended to the House Speaker that he ask each of his committee chairs to appoint an evaluation subcommittee. At the beginning of every year, it would be the tak of the Oversight Committee to analyze Auditor General’s reports and decide which state programs should be scrutinized during the upcoming legislative session. Those review assignments would then be delegated to the subcommittees of various standing panels which already are respon­ sible for working with certain state departments. Reports and recommendations would be due by the fall session, so that any policy changes that required the passage of legislation could be enacted before the end of the year. Though concerned about the potential problem of jurisdictional squabbles between the Oversight Committee and other panels, Speaker Owen has agreed to try our proposal. The Taxation Committee recently established an evaluation subcommittee. Its role will be to work with the Auditor General on several recommendations he has made to improve Department of Treasury operations. Initial hearings have indicated that in recent years several cost-saving proposals have not received prompt ac­ tion by the Treasury Department. Hopefully, this new legislative interest in the departmental audits will result in faster follow-up and a more efficient state government. So far, Speaker Owen is only interested in setting up this review process on a limited, pilot basis. However, a number of Republicans will be urging their various committees to utilize available program audits. * HAM FOR THAT HOLIDAY MEAL SEMI-BONELESS HAMS S1« GEU KES reta|lano ™ It ■ W WHOLESALE MEAT Custom Meat Processing 500N.

That legislation will require each department to set up an internal audit section - a self-monitoring process which is surprisingly lacking in a number of state agencies. I am encouraged by the growing executive and legislative interest in program evaluation. We have the resources to do the job. The question remains, however, whether we can organize ourselves suf­ ficiently to make our government work better. /-------------------------------------------- NEWS OF YOUR MIDDLEVILLE NEIGHBORS WESTSIDE with NORMA VELDERMAN \__________________________________________________________ / March went out with a bang, didn't it? I was chicken this morning and walked in the pines out of the wind. The Hiltys had friends, Pat and Daryl McDonald and sons Tony and John visiting them this weekend. The Vandals had friends from Lansing visiting them. Mrs. Kim Gray, Kelly Jennkins and her fiance Dan Clement, as well as Grandma Larkin of Lincoln Meadow. Dave and Sandi VanElst and family had brunch with her family Sunday. Brother Jack Baker had been in Detroit on business so came over to visit before returning to Alabama. Red Aicken had a wierd thing happen. His arm had been hurting so he went in to have the fatty tumor (they thought) taken care of. The doctor came to the surgical waiting room to tell Neva he'd removed an old knotted stich - that they’d used to repair his broken arm 42 years ago. And somehow it had worked up his arm and lodged there. The doctor gave it to Andy so folks would believe his story! Neva also had a nice visit with her old Middleville girlfriend Barb Coville Dawson from Alma. Pat Osbun joined them for lunch Friday. Grandchildren Michele and Jenny Whitney have been staying with the Deans this weekend while their mom and dad celebrate their anniversary. Dorothy said they got a call Saturday night that some old friends from Grand Rapids were here visiting and it had been so long since they’d seen each other, Don picked them up at the airport and they had a wonderful time visiting. Ann McIntyre was from Denver and Leis Southern was from New York City. The girls became close friends with Deans in Grand Rapids when they came directly from Holland. Florence Doornbos says her daughter is back in the hospital and they are going to schedule surgery. The grandchildren are with the grandparents. Their mom, Kathie Wheeler, will be in the hospital about a week after her back surgery. Twila Elwood had a nice time in Florida. Of course you all know Twila is an avid Tiger fan - she did get to see them twice while she was staying with her aunt at Bradenton. They had to get there early, stand in line a long time to get a grandstand seat. They even had to six 6 hours in the stadium to hold their seat, as well as sit and watch the ball game. That’s what I call a loyal Tiger fan. You couldn’t even get me to go to one. The Featherly family were home visiting Sunday. lyla Norton visited grandson Michael Northrop in Kalamazoo Saturday, then she had lunch with granddaughter Michele Oke and daughter, Mrs. Arvis Northrop. Her grandson preached Sunday at his church. Kit Roon's parents were back from Florida so the family all got together at Roon’s Sunday. Ann and Dan Bartlett attended the Middle School play Thursday.

JilL daughter of Mr. and Mrs. William Harrison of Alto, was first runner-up in the Elks Lodge s Teenager of the Month award. For the runner-up position in the balloting, Jill received a $125 gover­ nment savings bond. Alan, son of Mr. and Mrs. Dealton Warner, Whitneyville Road, was one of nine Teenagers of the Year and placed fourth in the balloting for the Teenager of the Year honors. He was given a $50 savings bond. Judges selections for the Elks yearly awards were based on citizenship, leadership and community participation. The two Caledonia seniors were out­ standing in all facets. Warner and Harrison carry a four-point grade average (all A’s) in four years at Caledonia High. Alan is treasurer of the Caledonia High National Honor Society, while Jill has been a member of the Society through high school. Both students not only excelled on the scholastic levels, but also in varsity athletics during their careers at Caledonia. Miss Harrison, 18, is the valedictorian of the 1985 graduating class. She plans to pursue a career in food systems management at Michigan State University. Despite a serious knee injury, Jill com­ peted on the school’s girls basketball, volleyball and track teams. As a junior, she was named to the Class C All-State girls basketball second team, averaging nearly 22 points a game. She was honored on the All OKBlue Volleyball team. Jill also ran hurdles, high jumped and long jumped on the track squad until the knee injury. thday. Chanda and Noah Wenger spent Saturday night with their grandparents, Bob and Helen Wenger, and Dan and Ann Wenger joined them for Sunday breakfast. Christina Gibson and three sons were Sunday dinner guests at the Wengers. Tom and 1 returned Sunday morning from a 10day drive to and through Florida visiting our families there. We were glad of the opportunity to spend the first night out with son Ken and family at Wilmore, Ky. — my, how the children have grown sine Christmas! We attended the wedding of our niece, Sharon Selkirk, at Maitland, visited with my sister and husband at Altamonte Springs, helped Tom’s brother Chuck celebrate his birthday at Her­ nando, and visited with his sister and family in Holiday. Tom got in a couple rounds of golf, but most of the time, when we weren’t in the car, we were talking and/or eating. It was great! I’m thankful for a husband who will go along with my whims to travel a different road on occasion. The more I’m on the busy expressways, the less I like them, so am always looking for ways to get back on the less traveled roads. In spite of the occasional detour, I’m always rewarded by the feeling of ‘coming home’ that I get from a close-up view of dif­ ferent parts of rural America. And the blossoms and flowers that are in profusion in Georgia right now should not be missed if you are going through the state. We prepare for Christmas well in advance of the season - sometimes it seems as though we re doing it all year long, yet I wonder how many of us prepare for Easter, a solemn/joyous celebration. Somewhere among the eggs, bunnies, chicks, and new outfits, let’s try to remember at what price our freedom was gained, and be thankful. Have a joyful Easter. Warner, 17, is looking forward to a professional career in electrical engineering. He plans to attend General Motors' Engineering management school in Flint, Michigan Tech or Rose-Hulman in Indiana. Alan grabbed first place two straight years in business math area high school competition in the Business Day event sponsored by Grand Rapids Junior College. He also was vice-president of the school’s student council. On the athletic front. Alan won three varsity letters in track while tossing the discus and shotput. He represented Caledonia in varsity wrestling in the 198 pound or heavyweight divisions for three years.

A major part of the program also requires the Michigan State Police to maintain a central registry of persons convicted of criminal sexual conduct with a child.

Shown left to right: Janine Me- Whinney, Rachel Buist, Jared Otto, Sarah Cordts, Jennie Doyle, and JAMI Kooiman. The definition of a cooperative is “a group of people working togehter for a common goal. ” The definition then of a Cooperative Preschool is a group of parents and teachers working together to provide an early childhood experience for their children. This year the Thornapple Cooperative Preschool is celebrating its 15th year as part of this com­ munity. It was established in 1970 by a group of parents who were interested in and concerned about the early development of their children. This group of caring parents formed a non-profit organization, hired a teacher and set up the first preschool class in the lower level of the Christian Reformed Church. As they grew larger and needed more space, they moved their classes to the United Methodist Chur­ ch, where they remained for the next 12 years. Last year because of a variety of factors involving the Dept, of Social Service, they again moved - this time back to a larger Christian Reformed Church. Each year a large share of the membership in this organization changes, and is being continually refreshed by new people coming in. The teachers provide the continuity factor and are the stabilizing force as they serve as both teachers and directors of the program. The preschool is run by a Board of Directors who are elected each year from the membership.

"Spring is here" it seemed to whisper. I'm sure it's so. I saw children roller skating; Heard their happy shouts of glee. Isn 't that a sign of springtime ? It is to me. When the kiddies play at marbles; When frogs and robins join in song; Then we know our wait for summer won't be long. Rosalie Shanks Randall C. Bednarz Thomapple Kellogg School Airman Randall C.

Hillegonds will also serve on subcommittee to review auditor general reports of the State Treasury and related agencies. “We plan to take a careful look at the justification and fairness of these numerous tax expenditures with an eye towards closing some loopholes, and weighing the need of new or expanded exemptions, credits or deductions," Hillegonds said. “We began last session to develop a procedure for reviewing these so-called tax expenditures and a policy framework for evaluating new tax proposals. The Governor has indicated he wants to extend the sales and use tax on certain services and perhaps tax military pay, so the work of this subcommittee will be critical to evaluating any tax plans he proposes." Hillegonds, who is vice chair of the House Over­ sight Committee, was responsible for the creation of the audit review and oversight subcommittee. “We want to be certain that the Treasury Depar­ tment is complying with our laws and with good administrative practices. We’ll also be recommen­ ding new legislation to ensure stronger and more fair administration.

Mil Apr. 11,1985 NEWS OF YOUR MIDDLEVILLE NEIGHBORS WESTSIDE with NORMA VELDERMAN A wierd thing happened to me thia morning (Monday 5:30). I got up to write the news I’d gotten from you folks Sunday evening and I’m minus a page of my notes. Now, if the children had been home I’d be blaming them. But when I’m the only one who has been near it - Johnny didn't even come down here last night * I’ve hunted all over and the dam thing just acquired legs and I can’t find it anywhere. (Note: How about "A big yeller dog ate it!”? LB) So folks, until this absent-minded old lady can find it, a part of your happenings will not be included. Some people’s actions irritate me tremendously and this particular person is me, so bear me, please. I do remember that Liz Hart’s parents came over for Easter. Cathy has been a veritable social butter­ fly this vacation with slumber parties, visiting here and there. Michael was recovering from chicken pox.

She showed me a plaque she had received earlier for the extensive research that she had done on the company. I’m finding out how much work research is. You read and read and read.

Choose from our vide aetecticn of contemporary Carlson Board, with the help of the general membership, are responsible for running this “small” business for one year. Each member of the preschool agrees to help with a job involving the operation of the preschool, as well as take turns working at preschool as the teacher’s assistant. They always work on a parent-child ratio of 1-5. So a class of 20 has one teacher and 3 parent assistants, and the 3year old class, which has 15 children, work with one teacher and two parents. Recently some parents were asked why they chose to belong to a cooperative preschool rather than a standard one. Some of their responses were: “By seeing what is happening at school we are better able to help them at home.” “We can watch our child grow, develop and measure how they react with other children.” “ It creates a tighter bond with our child.” “The supervision is good.” “We feel we have some input into the program..” “It’s a good place to meet other parents and children.” “It makes a good transition for my child to leave me, and yet have me involved sometimes.” “Gives me experience working with children.” From a teacher’s standpoint the benefits are: ' being able to capitalize on the special talents that many of the parents have and offer the children an even larger variety of experiences than they other­ wise would be able to. It’s really gratifying for some parents to find out how effective they can be in working with young children in a group setting. Also, the activities set up have a greater chance for effectiveness because of the small ratio of children to adults. It offers a lot more chance to work one on one with a child. The goals at Thornapple Preschool have been to develop an atmosphere whereby each child will become comfortable with, and enjoy the time he or she spends at preschool, and to have the children conclude the year with a positive feeling about themselves and their ability to function in a setting away from home. Through the year the focus is on individual growth in the following areas: Social skills, listening skills and large and small motor skills. They offer experiences within a group setting that you can’t get within the home setting. If you would like more information about the preschool or would like to enroll in next year’s classes, call Sue Kollar, 795-9951.

Kent County Adults Can Learn Wilderness Survival Skills Kent County older youths and adults who want to learn more about wilderness survival should take advantage of the opportunity to participate in the 4H Challenge wilderness adventure training program, says Deb Schuster, Kent County 4-H Program Assistant. Through the 4-H Challenge program, participants learn a variety of skills, including hiking and back­ packing, canoeing, cross-country skiing, orien­ teering and wilderness cooking and survival. According to Schuster, county residents in­ terested in becoming part of the Challenge program and, after training serving as group leaders for young people, should sign up now. Schuster says that anyone interested in becoming a Challenge leader must attend four weekend inten­ sive training sessions, pass a comprehensive written test, and take a multi medic Standard First Aid and CPR Course. Three of the four sessions will be held this summer, starting with a basic orientation session on June 28-30 at Kellogg Biological Station in Richland. The fourth session will be held in January, 1986, to accommodate training in snowshoeing and cross country skiing. All four training sessions will be held in the West Michigan area. Additional training in areas such as climbing and rappeling, caving, survival, canoeing, kayaking, sailing, bike touring, winter survival (including skiing and snowshoeing) and wilderness back­ packing is available. “Because Challenge leaders will be involved in high adventure situations and be responsible for youngsters participating in wilderness outings, they must be prepared,” Schustrer points out. “After completing all the training, Challenge leaders become certified and are qualified to take youths on wilderness adventures.’’ “It’s worth all the hard work and studying if you like the challenge of the out-of-doors, ” Schuster ad­ ds. To be eligible for the 4-H Challenge certification program, applicants must be at least 21 years old. Young people ages 16-20 years may become associate leaders, who must be accompanied by a certified adult leader when taking a group of youngsters on a Challenge outing. Training for both types of leader is identical. Kent County residents interested in signing up for the 4-H Challenge leader certification program should contact Deb Schuster at the Kent County Cooperative Extension Service office by calling 7743265. The deadline for submitting completed ap­ plications to Kent County Cooperative Extension Service office is Friday, May 25. Cost for the training progrm is S50.00. �Kay and Melvin Noah went up to their cottage when I can’t get you for various reasons, the next this weekend to do some work.

I never had before last Saturday. I was over to the Caledonia Library to do some research. Rod Finkbeiner and Donna Winters had suggested I should visit it - it even has a Michigan or History’ room. But I'd never gotten around to it before. As I went into the History room I noticed the hallway was lined with new and old quilts which im­ mediately caught my eye. Then I peeked in another room where the walls were also covered with quilts. Right inside the door were some beautifully designed handweaving pieces. As no one was there, I opened the notebook lying on top of the weaving. Mae Ring was the creator of the finger weaving. She was married to a full blooded Ottawa Indian. Her field of interest was palentology - from this to researching , hunting and creating, she became one of a kind in the handwork of the 17th, 18th and 19th century Indians. She has been asked to create the clothing on Indian mannekins the museums use in their exhibits. She goes to the rare originals and creates her own materials. She does twining finger weaving and unusual basketry. My poor description of her talents and end products doesn’t do justice to her own creative abilities, color sense and han­ diwork. You’ll have to seem them for yourself to really appreciate them. After one o’clock I went back to the library to visit with everyone there. They are there every Wednesday and Saturday from 1 - 5 to share with all of you the work they love doing. Judith (Eugene) Kidder was doing bobbin lace. She had a real novel stand for her table to do the lace. She’d covered it with a real plush, furry material (what she happened to have on hand) and it sure seemed to be just the thing to hold each bobbin as she worked. Isn’t bobbin lace beautiful. Liz (Gene) Finkbeiner was working on quilts as was Diane (John) Dutcher. Brenda (John) Basarabski on latch hook; Mrs.Blanch (Vern) Snyder crocheting and Bess (John) Velthouse was organizing some obituaries for the history room material. , . .. I even saw a wire bustle and wire hoop for skirts. Caledonia is working toward their Centennial in three years and the display of crafts twice a week is part of it. You ought to take time and run in to see the exhibit and talk with all the women. They are so pleased to share their love of their craft with you. I know you Caledonia folks know what a nice in­ dividual public library you have and are disgusted with other people who have just lately discovered your library in an old church near the downtown district. Please be patient with we outsiders as we discover the good things you knew all along that you had. Now with the complete computer hook-up, you Caledonia folks have a wealth of sources available to choose from, which before no local library could possibly afford to have that varied a collection of books. It's practically ‘‘The sky ’s the limit. College libraries, state libraries and other small adjoining libraries are all within our reach. And for a hick like me - who is not comfortable driving in big towns it’s a godsend. They do all the chasing for me. All I do is pick it up at our local library. So why not try your library out?

TK High school baseball has arrived with the warm weather for another exciting season. This year’s Trojan Nine blends talent and experience into what hopes to be a winning combination. The entire pitching staff has returned, led by senior Pete Bailey and junior Bill Deniston. Sophomore Randy Stickney and junior Zach Moore will be seeing a great deal of mound duty this season. Junior Mike Blair and sophomore Mark Tasker share the catching duties, supported by a fine infield of senior Darrell Smelker at third base. Denniston at shortstop, junior Brian Smith at second base, and senior Rob Denniston at first. The outfield features Stickney, senior Kyle Plan, junior Jack Morlock and sophomore Kurt Henry. Although defense and pitching hope to be two strengths of the Trojan squad, there should be a fair share of hits coming from the TK bats. In the season opener. Bill Denniston homered for Middleville in a loss to Allegan. And the Trojans outhit OK White powerhouse Wayland before bowing 3-2 in extra innings. Non-leage games at Delton and Lowell will prepare the squad for its league opener Friday at Comstock Park.

The team has improved each game, and is hopeful of adding several games to the win column in the next few The Wayland Wildcats defeated the JV Trojans 31 on April 11 and they were defeated by Allegan 4-3 on the 12th. The J Vs posted their first win on Mon­ day when they defeated Delton 18-8.

I was among those who helped at our church’s rummage sale on Friday and it sure brought back lots of memories. Being raised in a family of twelve, we frequently received boxes of clothing, etc., from relatives — and raising a family of seven, we received the same blessings from our brothers and sisters. What a time we would have sorting through for a very-own treasure, or an ‘experienced’ item of clothing that was brand-new-and-just-right for usl So garage sales and flea markets bring conflicting emotions - the one, “I’ve had enough of gently-used things,” and the other, "’But I might find a great treasure here so I’ll really have to stop and look!” So here we go into the ‘‘Garage Sale Season! ” �Bray moved the Council adopt the resolution for the release of the Prisoners of War.

For others who already have been playing even at the varsity level, the Camps give an opportunity to sharpen the skills of a position, teamwork, concepts, etc. “Varsity coaches Paul Peterman and Ron Hulst both agreed that basket­ ball - their sport - or any sport just doesn’t start and end with the schedule.” We have been promoting ‘The Fighting Scots Summer Basketball Camp' for the past few years because we know basketball is a difficult sport to learn how to play. So, we start at an early age - trying to teach the fundamentals. When players begin to learn these basic skills they also become more and more successful. Basketball, although hard work - then becomes fun. ’’ Other success stories have been built along this idea by the wrestling, tennis and gymnastic coaches. Varsity tennis coaches Jan Kinney and Julie Colvin both agree that the results of the off­ season programs do not always show at first. They point out the successes Mike MacEachron has en­ joyed with gymnastics and coaches Jim Maxim and Bernie Burns with wrestling had its beginnings a few years back with the Caledonia Wrestling Club and the Community Education Gymnastic classes. The camps are staffed with varsity, assistant var­ sity and outstanding college and high school players. The camps offer some pretty good levels of skill and knowledge. And that’s not all. Coach Shef­ ferly added that character building objectives such as self-discipline, sacrifice, teamwork and spor­ tsmanship are added benefits. The personalized Tshirts and unique award systems help develop a spirit of competition and comradship. There will be camps in Girls and Boys Basketball, Physical Conditioning, Tennis, Gymnastics, and Clinics in July and August for Baseball, Softball and Football. The cost of each camp is $25. Par­ ticipans who wish to take part in more than one camp or families with more than one member par­ ticipating can enjoy a 20% discount for a second or a 40% discount for a third event. Enrollment is being handled by the Community Education office at 211 East Main, Caledonia, 891* 8117. Forms can be picked up at any school office or from any Caledonia coach. �The Sun and News, Middtevilte, Ml / Apr. 25,1985 I Pape 3 AMY BEDNARSKY RUSTY BERENDS JILL RENEE HARRISON KIM MERCHANT JEANNE MILLS BARBARA NORTON KRISTIN HOLLSTEIN JOEL KREMKE LOUIS VANDER STEL II ALAN WARNER Scholastic Aptitude Test - National Merit Scholar­ ship Qualifying Test their junior year.

Budget Planning a Must for First Time Home Buyers First-time home buyers need to plan their budgets well in advance, planning not only for mortgage payments but for extra expenses as well, says Betty Shelby, Kent County Extension Home Economist. “People who buy their first home often forget to leave room in their already Jjrht budgets for such things as insulation, carpet cleaning, maintenance and remodeling costs,” Shelby says. They may also neglect to account for such things as lawn main­ tenance and snow removal equipment, and some necessary home fumishinga. Nearly half of all homeonwers (46 percent) spend more than a quarter of their income on housing. Two-thirds of families who buy a house for the first time have two incomes. If both wage earners continue to be employed, prospects are good for later increases in a young family’s income, so housing costs will be easier to handle in the future. But be sure to plan for the possibility that one income may stop. “For those buying a home, a flexible budget is very important,” Shelby adds. Some flexibility in the budget will help over unanticipated expenses, such as a furnace in need of repair or plumbing that must be replaced. Families that stretch their budget limits to buy a home can get themselves into deep financial trouble by incurring a large installment debt on something like new furniture or draperies.

Had to bring in some wood to take the chill off my downstairs room. The doors and windows were all open all day yesterday, and during the night it cools down. It’s on the ground floor (of our walk­ out type house) and to exercise on the floor makes it too damp. Some kindling and a couple of split pieces of oak take the dampness out. I stood still, just listening before I came back in. One cardinal was sure singing his heart out. I thought I heard a meadowlark.

Someone told me a person complained to them that, how come they always got their name in the newspaper, they were only newcomers, these people had lived here all their lives and never get called. Please let me know if you want to be on my list. I called everybody I could think of in town and out oftown when I made up the list. So give me your num­ ber, I’d love to visit.

CAPITOL COLUMN by RICHARD POSTHUMUS STATE SENATOR When it comes to child support enforcement effor­ ts, Michigan has always been a leader in approving protective legislation for both the children and divorced parents. Those efforts continue with a new package of bills called the Family Equity Package designed to strengthen Michigan s child support and visitation laws. In addition to implementing federal child support initiatives, the bills were prompted by the alarming statistic showing more than $500 million in child support owed to AFDC families alone. When more than half of the supporting parents do not make their payments on time, it places a great hardship on the children and the custodial parent. And when the custodial parent is forced to turn to the state fot assistance, that hardship is placed on state tax­ payers. The Family Equity Package strengthens existing laws by increasing the responsibilities and powers of the Friend of the Court system. The proposal places more emphasis on Friend of the Court referees and authorizes the Friend of the Court to use alternative enforcement methods such as taking the amount of support owed out of the supportive parent’s tax refund or withholding income. The package also allows paternity determinations for children up to 18 years of age, instead of the current cutoff at age six, and provides easier adoption procedures for children born out of wedlock. The legislation would also create a statewide registry of child support records to be used between counties within the state and on an interstate basis. New protections for the supporting parent are also built into the plan. Under the legislation, custodial parents who fail to abide by visitation agreements would risk added penalties, and man­ dates that makeup time be given to the visiting parent if the custodial parent causes a missed visit. Also, the measure stipulates that if a supporting parent’s income is to be withheld, notification by certified mail is required. Michigan is much luckier than some states. Because major reforms were made law in 1982 by the Michigan Legislature, only slight changes are needed for the state to comply with federal guidelines signed last August. Other states which have not dealt with the question yet face major revisions to outdated laws. Divorse should not be synonymous with poverty. With tougher enforcement procedures, respon­ sibility for child rearing expenses will fall right where it should — on the supporting parent, and not on the state. This package will go a long way in providing tougher enforcement.

Middleville Tennis Team Tallies Two Trojans Compete Wins-One Loss in Olivet Relays The Trojan Boys Tennis team opened their season last week with two wins and one loss. On opening day the Trojans traveled to Hastings. Middleville defeated the best two players on the Saxon team, but the Saxons had too much depth, and went on to win the opener for both squads by a score of 5-2. We were especially pleased with the performances of first singles player, Todd Courts, and second singles player Eric Hannapel. Our doubles teams will need plenty of work this year to become conference contenders, but they are young and have plenty of poten­ tial. We expect to see these teams improve at a good pace throughout the season. Tuesday Lakewood came to town and the results were much better for our team. Middleville defeated Lakewood by a score of 6-1. Rolfe Timmerman had a slow start at third singles before winning the first set 7-6, but then came on strong in the second set to defeat his opponent 60 The first doubles team of Jon Scott and Jim Will played well and won their first match of the year. Friday the Trojans traveled to Comstock Park and came away with a 5-2 win. Comstock Park figured to be the surprise team in the league this year They have a strong nucleus back from last year as well as a number one player that did not play last year. Enc Hannapel won a great match at second singles. Our two freshmen at second doubles had a big thrill in winning their match. Jeff and Dave were down 5-0 in the third set when they started a long comeback and ended up winning the match 7-5. Match Results: MiddleviUe 2 • Hastings 5 1st singles ■ T.

His quiet way made me think of my mom. I gave him a quick hug and did what he’d suggested. Marilyn Page, township clerk, gave me the com­ bined listings of all the Yankee Springs township cemeteries, then hauled out everything old that she thought might help me. Instead of giving me the books and going on with her work, she started going over each one, trying to find what I was looking for. I sure had a wonderful time with her, sharing so generously what she knew and could find. I went away feeling so rich. Then I started with Andy Downing and Marian McGalliard. He showed me a notebook he had and loaned it to me. Marian’s going to draw a picture and floor plan of Calvin Hill’s home, that they now live in. Andy showed me the original boards still on the house. 2" thick and 10-12” wide. They were put on when it was built. So my batteries are recharged again and off I go, filling in a few more facts I wanted from Andy’s notebook. Did you know Luther Hill, Calvin Hill’s father (not Calvin G. Hill of Middleville but Calvin Hill of Yankee Springs Township) sold not 1000 acres to Rev. Slater for his Indian Mission, but 803A in Prairieville Twp. July 21, 1835, in Sections 34 and 35? Yankee Bill Lewis didn’t come to Yankee Springs Township until August 26,1836. Most articles you read about the Slater mission are all mixed up on who he bought his land from. Some say Calvin Hill, others say Calvin and Calvin G. Hill are the same person, etc. But Andy Downing’s notebook had Luther Hill, the liber page and number in the Kalamazoo records. I called Sandy Schondelmayer, our new Register of Deeds, who is following in Howard Ferris’s thoughtfulness in helping the public, and asked him if he had those records. He looked right away and did have them, so I went to get them. He already had a copy from the records when I got there. He was even patient with me drawing a diagram of the holdings so I could see exactly where it was and why the wierd acreages. They were due to lakes in those sections. All these generous people sharing all along the way, each contributing some more bricks in building our accurate picture of life as it was in those days, with solid, proveable facts. This is what I wanted to share with all of you, how much I appreciate your reading and liking the column and your generous and loving gift of your­ selves. Thank you everyone - a big hug to all of you. Good morning folks. Daylight is slowly coming. This is the beautiful time of day for me, and I want to visit with you folks, who I feel are my friends and family. You know how it goes when something nice hap­ pens to you. You want to run and share with those closest to you. From your enjoyment and your telling me how much you enjoy our history, your appreciation is onemore step in strengthening my deep abiding faith in God. Some of you may say writing and sharing our local history and faith in God are cer­ tainly not on the same plane, but, oh my, it certainly ia. I’ll be doing lots of reading, hunting, researching, whatever you call it • I can’t find one blame thing I’m after. So when I get discouraged and about to give up, I turn within, saying “Okay God! You know what I need, and it’s your problem. Thanks very much." and drop it. When I was small. I’d go to my mom sputtering with impatience and complaining this or that didn’t happen. She’d told me to ask God for help, I’d done what she said, but nothing was happening. She’d gently quiet me down by turning me to face her with both hands on my shoulders, looking me straight in the eye and say “Did you ask Him for help, thank Him for answering your prayer, and then get your nose out of it?” Instead of asking Him • telling Him how you wanted it done, be sure to do this and that, etc., ask him, thank him, and place it in his hands. Drop the problem as completely solved and go on with something else. When you’re ready for the answer and the time is right, it will be there exactly as needed. I can still see her face, strong with absolute faith and love "Get your nose out of it. ” How true it has proved to me through the years if I let go and let God. Right now I seem to be stuck, can’t seem to pull together all the facts I need for the Yankee Springs Week of April 29 settlement story. I went in to do some copying at the Sun and News office.

For the past couple of weeks, Tom and I have been on a remodel/redecorate project. I won’t say small, even though it is, because in an old house, one small project creates a ripple effect that goes on and on. He removed a cracked-plaster ceiling in the upstairs hallway, so long after the new ceiling is up and new wallpaper hung, we are still vacuuming plaster dust - and killing wasps! Where do they all come from? Naturally, when you're in the middle of a mess in­ doors, the beautiful weather is calling you to be out working in the yard. Whether working in or out, it’s been a real joy, as always, to watch the leaves pop out and the trees become full, to view a whole rain­ bow of various shades of green, hear the birds and the crickets singing as the earth bursts forth with the annual miracle of spring.

This year, as our second year. Thomapple Kellogg Community Education will join in with twentythree other school districts to sponsor the Annual Senior Citizen Celebration Day. The celebration is one way we recognize the contributions that senior citizens have made, and will continue to make in our community.

Middleville's downtown took on a new look this week with the in­ stallation of six planter boxes along the Main Street hill. The six log boxes are large enough to contain a small tree and other flowering plan­ ts. Members of the Village Planning Commission, after consideration for many months, suggested the plan­ ters to the Village Council, which funded the project from the parks budget, said Village Manager Kit Roon. The planters, designed by Mark Worth of The Bushwacker. were built by volunteers last weekend and then placed and filled with soil on Tuesday of this week. Shown above planting one of the boxes is Marge Ixmjw (left), secretary of the Planning Commission; Judy Hoff (center), downtown owner of Zig Zag Upholstery; and Dr. Eldon Newmyer, vice president of the Planning Commission. THE ‘FOXFIRE’ PROJECT Students to Begin Recording Local Stories Don’t be surprised if sometime in the near future you are contacted by a young person from TK school who mentions he or she is writing for a “Fox­ fire” project. . Middleville area young people, in cooperation with the school and with the ‘prodding’’ of Sun and News writer Norma Velderman, will be undertaking the task of recording for “all time” the stories each of us has about our families. Norma, who started getting involved with local and county history during Middleville’s Sesquicentennial last year, has convinced the young people they have the energy and ability to write about local people. Foxfire is piloted after a program that began 19 years ago with an English teacher from Georgia. He find that his students needed a challenge to write about "real things; not make-believe writing. The students went on to write about and take pic­ tures of the people from their own community. They published a magazine called “Foxfire” and then went on to books. In all. the project has seen young people from a 250-student rural high school publish eight books, the first of which is the biggest seller in the history of the Doubleday Publishing Company Band Concert at TK This Sunday The Thornapple Kellogg High School Bands will present their Annual Spring Concert on Sunday. May 5. at 4:00 p.m. in the high school gymnasium The TK Jazz Band will begin the concert and will be followed by the Symphonic Band The concert is free to the public. Locally, the Thomapple Heritage Association has formed an advisory board of three people who will be overseeing the project. But, other adults will be needed to make the project successful, said Velder­ man. “We’ll need folks to transport the youngsters when they can’t do it. And, adults will be needed to help the young people in the interviewing process. In some cases adults may wish to volunteer to do the actual interviewing of people they know have in­ teresting stories to tell. ” Reserved Seats Available For TK Musical “Marne” Reserved seats for the T.K. all-school musical, Mame, are selling well, To assure yourself excellent seats, purchase them in advance from any cast member (the list follows) or call 795-7497, weekdays between 4:00 p.m. and 6:00 p.m. Thursday, May 2, through Thursday, May 9. The musical will be presented on Friday and Saturday. May 10 and 11, at 8:00 p.m. in the high school auditorium. Cast members selling tickets are: Melissa That­ cher, Leslie Hurst, Lisa Phillips, Rolin Timmerman, Kurt Henry. Jeff DeGroote. Betty Smith, Jeff Hooper. Stacey Williamson. Andy Thompson, Terri Smith, Mike Lynch, Tammy Jeffery, Jim Brother­ ton.

Brent Biermacher, Ingrid Konow, Christie Manley. Jenny Barton. Michelle Errair and Shannon Herwyer. . -r r r »r The students involved in the project can begin with interviewing their own families, like mother and dad, grandma and grandpa, and maybe great­ great-Aunt Bessie. “Once some of these folks are gone,’’ said Velderman, “their stories are gone, too. ” Some of the youngsters will be needed to do research work, or type, or read microfilm and check official records, explained Velderman. In all, Foxfire is a community program involving everyone in the community. Once the stories are collected and edited, the results will be published in some kind of format that will be funded by the local people. The Georgia teacher reported that his students saw their first Foxfire Magazine published with S40 scraped up by the students Who knows, maybe just such an important recording of local history will have its beginnings in Middleville as it looks for­ ward to its Bicentennial in 2034! To Honor Bob Evans Bob Evans, Community Education director of Caledonia Community Schools, will be honored on May 4 for a “farewll get together’’ on the occasion of his retirement from the school. Everyone is welcome to attend the Com­ munity Appreciation Day for Bob to be held at the Caledonia High School gym from 2 to 5 p.m. on Saturday. Coffee and cookies will be served.

CAPITOL COLUMN by RICHARD POSTHUMUS STATE SENATOR k------------------------------------ - ---- J George Bernard Shaw once said,“Government that robs Peter to pay Paul will always have the support of Paul." That is obviously the motivation behind the Governor’s new tax plan. Blanchard unveiled his supposed "Tax Fairness Plan" recently, incorpoating a number of different cutbacks and increases. His plan calls for new taxes on sales of computer software and additional levies on lump sum payments, such as insurance or pen­ sion money. In addition, it calls for a special new tax on banks and in-state insurance companies and higher capital gains taxes, as well as an income tax on military personnel stationed in Michigan. These increases are supposed to offset a drop in the income tax to 4.6 percent on July 1, 1986, more money in the property tax rebate fund, million in research and development tax breaks aimed primarily at General Motors Saturn Plant, and a tax amnesty plan. Although it is called the "Tax Fairness Plan,” it could also be called “The Election-Year Gimmick. ” With one hand, the proposal reduces taxes on con­ sumers, only to raise them with the other hand. The added tax burden on insurance companies and banks, for example, will certainly be passed on to consumers. Not surprisingly, the tax reduction is due to go into effect shortly before next year’s gubernatorial primary vote. This plan marks the first time Blanchard has en­ tered the tax rollback debate, and acknowledged a fact Senate Republicans have argued for months — that a budget surplus does exist as a result of the Governor’s 1983 tax increase and that it is time to take action. With strong bi-partisan support, Senate Republicans took action nearly two months ago. The Republican plan would roll the income tax rate back to 4.6 percent on January 1, 1986 (six months earlier than the Governor’s proposal), and would in­ crease the personal exemptions from the current 81,500 per person to 81,750 per person. For a senior citizen couple filing jointly, that means a 81,000 in­ crease in personal exemption. The Republican proposal is simple and fair It is a tax reduction without any tax increases, ensuring a limit on state spending. Blanchard's proposal sim­ ply shifts the tax burden around, without forcing a reduction in state spending. Must the people wait until an election year to get a piece of the huge surplus our state has accumulated? Under Blan­ chard’s plan, apparently so. I Vj LOCATED ONE MILE EAST OF WHITNEYVILLE on 100th ST PHONE 891-1226 RiBC’s Recycling Tips Recycling Through Composting The unusually warm weather we are experiencing makes it a perfect time to start a compost pile. Composting is yet another way to enhance our en­ vironment through recycling, rather than lan­ dfilling, certain household waste. These wastes include fruit and vegetable scraps, coffee grounds, crushed egg shells, peanuts and nut shells and other food wastes. Nitrogen sources such as these make up part of the compost pile. Good composting is built on a layer of carbon sources such as leaves, dry grass clippings, wood or barbecue ashes, and even cloth (from natural products) and wool rags. A layer of earth should cover this material: the nitrogen material goes on top of the earth. It is preferable to make the carbon layer 2 to 3 times thicker than the nitrogen layer. The carbon source is important because it absorbs extra moisture, hastens the composting process, and prevents odors. Keeping the nitrogen layer thin allows good air circulation. Turning the pile thoroughly every 2 or 3 weeks aerates it and preven­ ts imbalances of the sources from occurring. Moisture content of the pile must be gauged. The pile should be neither too wet nor too dry. Watering may be necessary every two weeks. Cover the pile during heavy rain to prevent the loss of nutrients. The pile should be kept covered if one is not ac­ tively adding to it. A cover is not necessary if daily, or almost daily, composting takes place. During cold weather, a cover is necessary to keep in the heat. Heat facilitates the composting process. There are many ways to contain the pile, and it’s really a matter of preference. A simple four-sided chicken wire fence will suffice, although there are more attractive containers made of brick or plastic. The advantage of the fenced container is that it allows better air circulation. An open pit. and even the trench method, works just as well. Note that the trench should be shallow no more than one foot deep. Finding an incon­ spicuous place is easy enough. Shrubs or garage walls can hide the uncontained compost pile very nicely. A general idea of what organic matter is suitable to compost is, if it grows, it qualifies. This excludes, however, meat, bones, fat and oil. Rhubarb and walnut leaves should not be used either, because they contain toxic acid. The organic matter should be added in small pieces or scraps rather than large ones (e.g. chop up lettuce, shred rags, etc.) The compost pile is ready for use when it looks like rich, dark soil and crumbles easily. It can then be added to the garden or flower beds or used as mulch around trees and shrubs. It can also be used indoors for plants after it is strained and heated at 200’ for about two hours. Composting is one of the many ways we can reduce unnecessary landfilling. Recycling glass, tin cans, small metal scraps and aluminum helps too. These materials can be recycled in Hastings at the fire station parking lot and in Middleville at the Middle Mart Party Store on M37. All food containers must be washed thoroughly. Remove labels from cans and flatten by removing both lids. Only clear glass can be recycled at both sites. RiBC cannot recycle light bulbs, win­ dow glass, colored glass, plastic, or aerosol cans. Please remove styrofoam, rings and caps from glass containers.

MICHIGAN 49333 Senior Citizens to Celebrate May as Special Month Marne finds the loot elegance of the south. Pic­ tured are Melissa Thatcher as Mame and Jeff DeGroote as Beauregard Jackson Pickett Burnside. TK Stage to Become Alive with Comedy, Song This Weekend At 8:00 on Friday and Saturday evening, May 10 and 11, the T.K. auditorium stage will be alive with comedy and song. The musical Mame chronicles 30 years in the life of Mame Dennis, (Melissa That­ cher), a fast-living member of the New York Society scene. In 1928, amidst the revelry of one of many cocktail parties, Mame receives a gift, her late brother’s son, 10-year-old Patrick Dennis (Rolin Timmerman). His hilarious nanny, Gooch (Lisa Phillips) and Marne’s many bizarre friends, in­ cluding the star of stage and screen, Vera Charles (Leslie Hurst) add humor to every scene. While the over-all tone of Marne’s life is somewhat decadent, she comes to know the real value of life through helping Patrick to grow up into a fine young man, and helping Gooch over a “rough” time. When we see Mame ready to begin again with Patrick’s young son, Peter, we know the irrepressible Mame will always be the “Pied Piper,” the caring keeper for all. This musical is a must on your spring calendar. Reserved tickets are still available from cast mem­ bers and tickets will be available at the door. Doors open at 7:00 p.m. each evening. Admission is $2.00. by Lillian Schultz Senior citizens all over the world, “Happy Birth­ day” to you. The month of May has been designated by one of our presidents as “Older Americans’ Mon­ th,’’ celebrated May 10-16. We urge all senior citizens to join with any senior group to promote senior citizen centers, and encourage our seniors to participate in the programs available to them. Community Education has brought many older Americans back to the new way of life from the past with more education, mixing with other groups of people, and companionship, and plenty of fun and recreation, and to take trips that some have never done in their lives. Many haven’t laughed for years and now do so with all the enjoyment that is given them. We have made a big contribution to our com­ munity. our state and to the whole world in our past life by helping in many ways, with wars and sending our loved ones all over to fight for our country. Now we want our own time as senior citizens in 1985 to have leisure time and to do what we are able to do, but needing your help to survive. So now for May, 1985, the Mayor of Caledonia, Hugh Kegerreis, has been asked to proclaim this month with the Proclamation to Older Americans or senior citizens for the week of May 10-16. PROCLAMATION For Senior Citizen Week As President of the great Village of Caledonia, Michigan, I do hereby with just pride proclaim that the Village of Caledonia will observe Older Americans or Senior Citizens Month for the week of May 10 through May 16, 1985. I also call people of all ages to show honor and respect to these senior Americans that have made Caledonia a village of people that reach out and welcome all from near and far, and promote a feeling of well being and pride. May the Senior Citizens among us continue to carry the torch of awareness, so their just rewards will be a joy to them and a source of pride to all President Hugh Kegerreis NO 19IMAY9.1985 Clarence Longstreet Dies at Age of 85 Clarence Longstreet, aged 85, of Middleville, passed away Saturday, May 4. 1985, at Pennock Hospital, Hastings.

A Mother’s Day Feature by Jean Soest I knew today was one of those days when I first opened my eyes this morning. Why can’t I move. Why can’t I get up? My husband is sound asleep with his foot and arm holding me down. And ... what! The cat is sitting on my chest, giving herself a bath. How’d she get out? I locked her up myself. It’s mid-morning now and surprisingly it’s gone pretty good. Oldest one left for school on time, with her hair combed, and dressed ... I think. I think she even ate breakfast. I KNOW she practiced the piano. 80 degrees outside and she's playing “Jingle Bells.'' Think cool! Right! But the day’s rapidly going downhill. “Mom, the cat’s out!” I’ve heard that twice in the last ten minutes. My mom said there’d be days like this. “Can I have my bike out? And, Mom! The cat’s gone again!” I look at my youngest, who has dressed herself. I dare not say a word. Long-sleeved jogging suit and it’s 80 degrees outside. Well, by the time we find the cat and get out the bike, the neigh­ bor kids are gone and “I’m HOT, Mom. Can I change?” And it’s only 10 a.m. Mom said there’d be days like this! The dishes are finally done. Now what was that major project I was going to do? Oh, yes! Make that salad for dinner tonight. Now where did I leave that recipe? There it is. WHAT! “Make the day before and let set overnight.” Guess I had better find another recipe. I didn’t have all the ingredients anyway. Mom said there'd be days like this! Well that part of the salad is done and while I’m waiting for that to set I’ll just make that batch of bread I was going to last week. Sugar. Warm water OOPS! That water wasn't warm. Oh well, it soon will be, as hot as it is outside. What was that on the radio? The time? Oh no! 11:30. What do you want for lunch? Chips and a popsicle! Not today, dear Here, eat thia sandwich. Let’s see .. Oil. salt, and flour ... It’s noon already! Quick, wash your face and hands! Where’s my shoes? Where s yours? I’ve got your bag, you got your shoes on? OK Let s go . Did you comb your hair today? I didn’t think so. Well it’s too late now; here’s the bus. Mom said there d be days like this! All’s quiet for a while. Bread's rising. Jello’s not set yet. Ill just go check out that noise, and water the plants when I get back. The cat’s never happy. Now she wants in. No. my little friend! She’s in school until 3:00. My Christmas cactus is as mixed up as the weather. One’s in full bloom. Another has buds. Don’t they know it’s 80 degrees outside? I know! They heard the oldest playing “Jingle Bells.’’ Wonder if Mom ever had days like this. What’s this I see! This neighbor of mine is putting up a fence. Best check this out. It’s not to keep the kids out you say! Just keep the plants in. Give you a hand to steady the fence, until you can wire it in place. My weight is enough to keep it sgraight.. . Mom said there’d be days like this. As I come back inside I hear the radio say it’s 3:00. I promised the kids I’d pick them up at 3:00. Hurry! Hurry! Where’s the keys? Got ’em and I’m on the way. At least the cat didn’t get out THIS time. I get to school, sneak through the buses and . . . meet someone I know. The bell rings and I’m busy talking. The kids leave, but on foot. Got to go ... I finally catch up with them ... one block from home. Yup! Mom said there’d be days like this. Back home again. “Practice the piano. ’’ “No! I’m not getting your bike out.” “What! The cat’s out again.” I don't blame her, I’d like to run away too! “That’s the T.V., the piano is in here.” “What? A drink! OK! OK!’’ The jello! It isn’t set yet. I’ll put it in the freezer. But there isn’t room. I’ll just rearrange it a bit. What! Company ’s at the door. Did I comb MY hair today? Mom definitely said that there’d be days like this. Well, the company's gone; but what’s this sticky stuff all over the floor. Hey! Who left the popsicles out? Don't you know what they’ll do on a day like today? Me!?! Never! The jello?? ... Guess you’re right. It was me. I got that mess cleaned up and the husband fed; the rest of us are cleaned up and ready to go More company coming in the back door. Well we ll just stay a minute and visit... Where are we going? Just up the street. When? At 7:00. What! My gosh, you’re right! Hurry children, get into the car. Where’s the keys? In my hand. The salad? In the house. Wait a minute! I’ve got too many kids. Remove this one and we’re off. We arrive; but... nobody’s there Let’s see, if I dig in this purse there should be a card that tells me ... that... IT’S NEXT WEEK! Mom said there’d be days like this. But she never ever mentioned that they ’d last the whole week! Arthur A. Apsey, aged 70. of Middleville, passed away Tuesday. May 7, 1985, at Butterworth Hospital. Grand Rapids.

Caledonia Jaycees Making Plans for Independence Day Celebration June 29 June 29, a Saturday, at Caledonia Lakeside Park, is the date and place for this year’s Independence Day celebration in Caledonia. The Caledonia Area Jaycees, sponsors and celebration organizers, have been gearing up for a full day’s festivities. This event is again expanded over the previous year, which was the biggest ever. Preparation for the event started July 5,1984. This year marks the tenth year of the celebration which is always the Saturday before the Fourth of July. The Jaycees invite any interested groups or individual to get involved by contacting the project chairmen, Jerry Durkee, 455-6897, Parade chairmen Doug Atkinson, 891-9245. The day will start at 12 noon with a parade through the village streets (get those floats ready), followed by an array of activities in the park. The Arts and Crafts show will be expanded to 65 booths of which 40 are spoken for already. Community groups are getting involved with several food booths and other activities. There will be a talent show all day and a band for a dance at fireworks time. The fireworks budget has been expanded by 50% and may be more if donations and monies from a raffle for a hot air balloon and helicopter rides are good. These tickets are being sold at local businesses for the Jaycees. An “Outhouse Race’’ is being scheduled, a slow pitch and Little League game, clown shows, a trac­ tor pull, helicopter and hot air balloon rides, kids games and rides. Bingo will go on during the day. Hot dogs, pizza, chicken and something to wet the whistle will be available. If you were in Caledonia in 1984, wait until you see this year’s celebration.

Mame, unforgettably played by Melissa Thatcher, is the story of a handsome, sparkling, scatterbrained, warmhearted and slightly madcap lady whose chief concern in life is her incomparable devotion to her young nephew, Patrick Dennis, por­ trayed by Rolin Timmerman and Kurt Henry. The quality and refinement of Melissa's voice, the confident manner and consistent pace in which she moved about the stage, and the continuous believability of her characterization easily established Ms. Thatcher as the star of the show. The musical numbers "Open A New Window,” "If He Walked Into My Life," and "Bosom Buddies," which as shared by the superb talent of Leslie Hurst were just some examples of Liss’s professionalism and unique understanding and feeling for the part which continued throughout the production. Rolin's boyish innocence and charm as young Patrick and his command of "My Best Girl” established him as a very strong male charactrization. A smooth tran­ sition to older Patrick convincingly played by Kurt Henry was done equally well. Leslie Hurst took an expert command of the stage with her comedic Vera Charles. Leslie not only displayed excellent stage presence, but also showed the authority of her character in the hilarious ren­ dition of "The Moon Son. " Also adding a comical flair with her naive and timid Gooch, Lisa Phillips gave a polished performance. Her humorous walk, gestures, facial expressions, her part as the tree in "We Need A Little Christmas," and her deter­ mination and willingness to "come out" received much audience approval. One other comedic favorite was Jil Ainsworth’s Mother Burnside. Her gruff voice, strong will, and effective make-up established Jill as the "pillar” of the Southern Bumside clan. Briefly married to Mame before having the bad luck of tumbling down from the Matterhorn was the likeable Southerner, Beau, admirably depicted by Jeff DeGroote.

Boysen, Editor and Publisher Dale Boysen, Lois Bremer, Kathy Bremer - Staff demeanor gave strong support to the scenes played with Mame. Spencer Miller did an outstanding job with his Dwight Babcock, Marne’s family counselor. His haughty voice, appropriate make-up, and pompous and prudish nature culminated in a memorable por­ trayal. The cast was large; others, who were needed to make the show a success, cannot be overlooked. Terri Smith played the unobtrusive but efficient Ito, Marne’s loyal Oriental servant. Brent Biermacher, Carmen McAlary and Ingrid Konow flawlessly played the "proper and stuffy” Upson family, and Bob Pawloski and Kathy Miner were delightful as Uncle Jeff and pretty but viciously jealous Sally Cato. One cannot leave out Andy Thompson, Marne’s long-time boyfriend, Jeff Hooper as the owner of Ralph Devine’s Laboratory of Life, Stacey Williamson as older Patrick’s suitable wife, Lisa Woodard and gum-chewing, dizzy blond-haired Pa Holtz as the manicure salon operators, and Eric DeGroote as the cute and loveable Peter Dennis whom Mame takes "under her wing” so he might "live, live, live” by opening new doors. There were several other members who assumed creditable identities and exhibited colorful costumes and acting abilities and established some "new" faces for future productions. All were enjoyable and satisfying and gave strong support to the leads. Finishing touches were added by Chuck Kuhtic who beautifully painted the southern backdrop, by Pat Thatcher and Jim Oliver who professionally, expertly and gracefully accompanied the stars and chorus alike, and by Mr. Duane Thatcher whose ar­ tistic, musical and technical expertise and direction gave us musical-loving people in the audience a memorable and enjoyable performance. To the director, cast, and crew — this critic thought “it was just sensational — Mame'."

Mon Thun. 7am-7pm; Fri.-Sat. 7*m-8:30pm NEW OWNERS WALT & FRAN LUKAS :------RiBC’s Recycling Tips by Jackie Schmitz Recycling in Barry County (RiBC) is now 3V4 years old. In the past year approximately 18 tons of glass, 5 tons of metal and 300 pounds of aluminum have been recycled at RiBC’s two recycling centers in Middleville and Hastings. This represents an in­ crease of 3 tons of glass and 2 tons of metal over the 1983 level. Recycling used oil has also increased. Of the 42,620 gallons of used crankcase oil available for collection from do-it-yourself oil changers in Barry County, approximately 2,660 gallons were recycled in 1984. 1,240 gallons were recycled in 1983. RiBC’s activities over the past year have centered on public education. RiBC staffed a booth at the County Fair and Middleville's Sesquicentennial. We have done 16 slide presentations on recycling for schools in Middleville, Hastings, and Delton, and have designed educational recycling kits for use in Barry County schools. Vertical files are also up­ dated annually for the local libraries. Some changes have occurred with regard to our markets this year. Owens Illinois in Charlotte, the only glass recycling firm in Michigan, is no longer accepting green and brown glass. Green and brown glass can still be recycled at the Caledonia site because Recycling Unlimited in Grand Rapids is transporting it to Detroit, where it is recycled in Canada. Apparently Bottling companies are going to use clear glass only. Several businesses in Hastings are now recycling their cardboard, as is Hastings High School. Fran Maichele of Caledonia, a long-time site checker for the Caledonia Recycling Site, has initiated recycling of metal and cardboard at Caledonia Junior High School where she works in the cafeteria. This effort by Fran and her recycling co-workers will save the school in trash pickup expenses and will prevent a valuable resource from being wasted in a landfill. Simon Maichele is now transporting our barrels of metal from the Middleville site to Summit Steel in Hastings for us. His contribution is greatly ap­ preciated as well. We are happy to announce that our accomplish­ ments have been recognized by the Michigan Recycling Coalition. RiBC is the recipient of the MRC Honorable Mention Award for Non-profit Recycling Organization of the Year (1985). We know this honor would not be possible without the dedicated effort of our volunteers and the par­ ticipation of the recyclers in our community. The people of Barry County do care about our environ­ ment and are working to protect our natural resour­ ces through household recycling. When recycling at Hastings (fire station parking lot) and Middleville (behind Middle Mart) recycling sites, remember to wash all materials, remove labels from cans and flatten them by opening both lids, and remove lids or caps from all glass. Only clear glass and metal can be recycled in Hastings and Middleville. The Caledonia site, located at Caledonia Foods, accepts bundles newspapers and brown bags (no shiny magazines please), old phone books and clean, flattened, label-free plastic milk jugs, as well as glass and metal. Used oil can be recycled at any service station displaying the black and yellow “Recycle Used Oil Here” sign. Used oil can be brought to a collection site conveniently in a reusable container such as a plastic milk jug. Call 795-7897 or 948-8445 for more information. �r ~ NEWS OF YOUR CALEDONIA NEIGHBORS as Reported by Thelma Gehl Last Sunday morning Holy Family offered a senior Mass and breakfast.

Don has already told you about the history project the eleven TK students are working on now and during the summer. We have the approval of the school board, superintendent and principals. History and English teachers are en­ thusiastic about it. The Thornapple Heritage group have provided three members, Dorothy Dean, librarian; Ann Kenyon, a local history contributor, myself; James Fisher, one of our local lawyers, and Marc Squier, a retired businessman are on the committee. I hope we can get two more members from Freeport for the board. Delores Dipp has said she would be one. I haven't been able to contact the other two as yet. Hope to catch them before this goes to press. We have a list of people, when the young adults have done their families, friends and neighbors. But would like you to tell us about more people to put on the list. Or if you have some old pictures or postcar­ ds, or school house pictures of any of the five town­ ship areas they could copy to put in the pamphlet, it would be greatly appreciated and lovingly handled. These are the young folks we have so far: Ann Blain. Brent Biermacher, Kim Bode, Jim Brother­ ton, Mike Brotherton, Missy Brown, Patty Eaton. Ann Elwood. Ann Fredenburg, Ken Loew, Jody Tyner, Jackie Webb. This group of young adults are really something. They restore my faith in our future. They certainly don't have any halos, they even are little stinkers occasionally - but their enthusiasm, ideas, abilities sometimes take my breath away. I’m so anxious to have you folks meet them and share your history with them. So could you contact me, or leave a message at the Sun office, so we don't miss a single story of our history before it’s too late. There are other things to be done that are an im­ portant part of our histories • old school pictures, records, maps drawn of every cemetery in this area lots of records to be checked, alphabetizing of names (anyone have a computer that can do that job?) So it isn’t just the students that can be doing it. anyone else who has free time and would like to help will be welcomed with open arms. It’s really a com­ munity project, run by the students, and the com­ munity that will help to collect things never seen or told put into print. LOCAL CHURCH ST.

Roving Reporter with HAZEL McCAUL A beautiful morning to all. Did you miss me the past week? I have been busy with Clarke in Borgess Hospital, telephone calls, etc. Clarke went Thursday to see Dr. Pitel for a neck exam and since then many things have happened. Friday they took an Angerism of both sides of the neck, then Monday a stress test, that wasn't suc­ cessful; Tuesday a heart catherization and found a blockage; Wednesday nothing as the operating rooms were full, so after consultation they were to do the balloon dilation Thursday but decided again­ st that. Lili Hall, Mary Springer and I sat all day through the 6Vi hour surgery, praying for the best. They did the neck surgery Friday, followed by the open heart surgery with two-bypasses. He is getting along well. Sunday set up on the bedside and fed himself. Mon­ day hopes to do some walking. We hope to be home this week-end. Do pray for us. I have been staying part time at Delton with a nephew, Jim Springer and wife, not so much driving for me. Come see us when we get back home. We hope all will be well now.

Karen Passenger Ellen Veen Graduate With Final Butterworth Class Two area girls are in the 1985 graduating class from Butterworth Hospital School of Nursing. Ellen Veen, a 1981 graduate of Thomapple Kellogg High School and the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Clayton H.

The class will be the final class to graduate from Butterworth, since their Nursing School is being phased out.

Monday evening the Bob Lunds had steaks on the grill with Charles and Pam Converse of Nashville and the Mike Lunds of Wayland. There is a lady from our community who lies desperately ill at Metropolitan Hospital in Grand Rapids that should have every reason to be bitter •bout her lot in life. Dorothy VanOort, handicapped for much of her life, never complained about that fact and has served as an inspiration to many of us who have little or no physical disability to “slow us down.’’ Dorothy, terminally ill with cancer, was taken to the hospital this week after her decision to not take any more medicine or treatment. She related to friends that it was her desire to leave her body for medical research and felt her last days should not be masked by medication. What courage she must possess! But then, if you know Dorothy, it comes as no surprise that she is thinking of others even as she prepares for her departure from us. We don’t know if Dorothy will survive even until you read this, but all of us can be a little richer in our lives because of Dorothy’s indomitable spirit. May the Lord reward her in His mansion reserved for such blessed souls. Community Billboard 124 E. Main Street / Phone 795-3345 MIDDLEVILLE.

It was cool and damp and not much wind. I was walking near the fence row, and boy! was the sweet smell strong. There was a beautiful big choke cherry in full bloom. It was too early for the bees, too cold, too, but it was so fresh and spicy a smell. The blooming trees and shrubs have really been beautiful this spring. To me the early morning is the best part of the day. Of course, I go to bed early at night, practically with the chickens.

Certainly welfare fraud is an issue that has been a long-standing concern to many of us, and we are constantly involved in seeking ways to curb such abuses’. A welfare fraud hotline was recently instituted by the Michigan Department of Social Services in an effort to make sure that correct payments are made to eligible recipients. DSS officials maintain that the number of welfare recipients who receive assistance fraudulently is less than one percent of the caseload. But each in­ dividual case of fraud angers the public and it’s im­ portant that steps be taken to alleviate the problem. The welfare fraud hotline will be operated by DSS employees in Lansing from 8:30 a.m. to noon and from 1:30 to 4:30 p.m., Monday through Friday. The number is 1-517-484-9001. The essential information needed to begin a fraud investigation is the name and address of the person or family suspected of fraud, and the facts which lead the caller to believe that welfare is being received ineligibly. It is not necessary to identify yourself when making the call. I believe that this hotline could turn out to be an effective tool in curbing some of the abuses that, un­ fortunately, do sometimes occur. I encourage anyone who has information leading them to suspect that welfare benefits are being paid to an ineligible recipient to take the time and make a call on the hotline provided. Again, the number is 1-517484-9001. PLANNING A GARAGE SALE? BE SURE TO ADVERTISE IT IN THE SUN & NEWS!

A loss to conference champion Hamilton and a win over a good Kelloggsville team was about what we expec­ ted for the week as far as dual matches were concerned. Todd Courts was the only winner in the Hamilton match. Todd continued to get stronger and more confident during the week in preparing for the regional tournament. Eric Hannapel had a big win against Kelloggsville later in the week. Eric defeated a Kelloggsville player that went on to win the regional title later in the week. ' Friday was the day the Trojan team was really ’ shooting” for. Friday 's regional tournament was a chan­ ce for our team to qualify for the state tournament. Hamilton was the "heavy favorite going in. with South Christian favored to take the number two spot and qualify for the state tournament. The Trojans knew that some good tennis, and a few upsets would send them to the state finals instead of South Christian. Our players did their part by winning the big matches. Kelloggsville helped our cause when their number one singles player defeated the top seeded player from South Chnstian. The Trojans Todd Courts won a tough match against Hamilton in the semi-finals, then went on to win the regional title with a well played, two set win over Kelloggsville. Rolfe Timmerman won a big second round match against South Christian which sealed a trip to the state tournament for our team. Dan DeMorrow also won a second round match which put him into the regional finals. Both Rolfe and Dan lost three set matches in the finals. In doubles, the second doubles team of Dave Elies and Jeff Kuehn also won a semi-final match to advance to the finals. Jon scott and Doug Mathiesen won their first round match, as did the third doubles team of Steve Egleston and Kevin Martinez. The Trojan team will take ten players to the state tour­ nament in Kalamazoo June 1. Five freshmen and one sophomore will make the trip to Kalamazoo, which will make this the youngest Trojan tennis team to play in a state tennis tournament. Middleville 1 Hamilton 6 1 st singles - T.

Ml I May 23,1985 NEWS OF YOUR CALEDONIA NEIGHBORS with JEAN SOEST s__________________________________________________________ J I guess our house has gone to the birds this week. No one had really spent much time in the house Wednesday through Saturday noon. So about sup­ pertime Saturday we noticed the cat studying the cuckoo clock. At about the same time I noticed that the birds were pretty loud for having the doors and windows closed. I went outside to see where the noisy bird was and couldn’t find one. The bird got quiet when it got dark outside, but was back to chirping when the sun came up Sunday. Only this time it’s added some flutters and scratching noises and has moved to above the doorway between the living and dining rooms. It’s driving the cat nuts because she can hear the birds but can’t find them. I hope they can get out by themselves because we can’t get to them without removing part of a wall. The Soest family, the Kegerreis family and the Lillie family held a very successful garage sale last week, rain and all.

LANSING DIARY by PAULHILLEGONDS 54th DISTRICT STATE REPRESENTATIVE Listed below are some of the bills considered by the House in recent weeks. I supported these measures, which have been approved by the House and are now before the Senate. Preventing the disturbance of Old Toxic Sites. This amendment will empower the Attorney General to seek an injunction preventing the owners of a cleaned-up toxic contamination site from disturbing or using the site if the activity presents a clear and present danger to public health or the en­ vironment. Banning Exploding Bullets. Under this measure, the manufacture, sale and possession of exploding bullets would be severely restricted. Such armorpiercing bullets serve no purpose except to kill people. Police Employment Standards. Under current law, police officers laid off in the late 70’s and early 80’s who are being called back to work must repeat an 11-week basic training program at an estimated cost of $1,200 per officer. This bill will allow the Law Enforcement Training Council to waive the training requirement for officers who can pass a testing and evaluation process. In Detroit alone, where 850 of­ ficers had their jobs reinstated by court order, more flexible performance screening could save over one million dollars. Establishing Paternity for Inheritance Purposes. A recent interpretation of the Michigan Probate Code made this measure necessary. This bill establishes that a man found to be a child’s father in a paternity suit would also be considered that child’s natural father for purposes of inheritance when no will has been left by the father. Police and Fire Residence Requirements. Curren­ tly the law requires an applicant for a position in a local fire or police department to have lived in the municipal service area for at least one year before applying for the job. The State Supreme Court has declared that requirement unconstitutional, and this bill repeals that provision. Legal Advertising Rate. The maximum adver­ tising rate which a newspaper can charge for publishing a legal notice is set by law, and has not been changed since 1979. To reflect cost of publishing increases, the rate schedule would be in­ creased 44% under this measure. Aerial Wires Over Railroad Rights of Way. Currently the Department of Transportation must issue a permit to a utility company before it can string any wire over a railroad right of way. Then the department must inspect the work. To reduce the cost of regulation, this bill would simply require the utility to give prior notice to the railroad before stringing the wire. Any disputes would be resolved by the Department of Transportation. Displaced Homemakers Assistance. This year $374,000 is being allocated for local programs designed to assist divorced or widowed women with dependent children find employment. The Displaced Homemakers Act was due to expire in 1985. This measure extends the act for six more years. Agent Orange. Vietnam veterans have expressed much concern about their exposure to the herbicide known as Agent Orange, which was used to defoliate jungle areas during the war in Southeast Asia. For veterans suspected to be suffering from the ill-effects of the chemical, this bill creates a reporting and referral system to assist them in ob­ taining medical diagnosis and treatment. Uniform Enforcement of Support Orders. This measure updates the law providing for interstate en­ forcement of child support orders issued by courts in divorce and paternity cases. For example, these amendments will permit a petitioner who moves out of Michigan to register the support order in the state where she now resides, without having to go back to court. The bill also makes it clear that inter­ state provisions to enforce support payments will apply to support past due and unpaid, as well as current payments. Regulating Fingerprinting of Children. In respon­ se to the growing number of kidnapping and runaway cases, anxious parents are seeking to have their childrens’ fingerprints taken by local law en­ forcement agencies. This act would authorize governmental units to take the fingerprints of children upon the written request of parents or guardians. However, the bill states that such iden­ tification could not be used as evidence against a child in any manner. USE SUN & NEWS CLASSIFIEDS!

The whole issue was raised last spring when budget discussions centered on Detroit’s annual grant of $34 million for its “jewels’’ such as the Detroit Institute of Arts, the Detroit Zoo and other city attractions. Senate Republicans decided other cities in the outstate area deserved grant money as well, and set up a $4 million fund for cultural attrac­ tions in 19 cities throughout the state. This year, lawmakers claimed the program was unfair to smaller outstate cities not eligible for the money. During discussion, amendments were of­ fered abolishing the aid package for all cities, cut­ ting the equity aid appropriation in half and withholding Detroit equity aid money until Mayor Young designated two prison sites in the city. The agreement worked out by the committee members made most legislators happy. The Detroit aid package remains the same, allotting $34.2 million for the city. Aid to suburban and outstate cities is increased to $6 million, with $4 million available to large cities and $2 million available to smaller areas. Large municipalities, having a population over 50,000, are eligible for grants up to $500,000 under the Senate-passsed plan. Smaller localities, under 50,000 residents, are eligible to receive up to $100,000 grants The money is available to help fund cultural centers such as museums, libraries, zoos and convention centers. In addition, the newest proposal does not limit participation to specific cities — any municipality is eligible to apply for the grants. The funding level will be decided by the State Commerce Department and the Legislature will have oversight authority. There’s no guarantee this proposal will be ap­ proved by the House or that the governor will agree to sign it into law. However, considering the heated and divisive debate this proposal generated, the final result proves how the governmental process can bring strongly opposite factions to a near­ consensus decision. �The Sim end News, Middleville, Ml I May 23,1985 I Page 11 CLASSIFIED ADS TK YOUTH BASEBALL Results • May 11 Village Gro. 5 - H.C.B. 3 Britten 12 - Fpt Sply 7 Results May 18 Gavin 7 - Cappon 6 Vill.

Name Fairbrother ‘Volunteer of Year’ In March, Geraldine Fairbrother was named “The Volunteer of the Year” by the West Michigan Crime Prevention Association. This was in recognition of the time she has given in the SAVE/STEM program in Kent County. She is a member of the Anti* Shoplifting Coalition which is made up of law enfor­ cement agencies, juvenile court personnel, chamber of commerce, prosecuting attorney’s office, and Michigan State Federation of Womens Club’s mem­ bers. Representatives from this group have visited most of the junior highs in the county and put on assemblies telling about the high cost of shoplifting and the lasting effects that being charged with shoplifting can have in a young person s life. Gerry received a plaque from the Association and a Letter of Commendation from area legislators. On May 7, the Juvenile Court judges honored Gerry at a luncheon and gave her a Certificate of Appreciation for time given to the young people of Kent County. Rob Woodard Attains Eagle Rank Not many young men have followed through to the top of Scouting, but Rob Woodard of Middleville was deter­ mined to reach such a goal when he entered Scouting 10 years ago. On Sunday Rob received his Eagle Scout rank at a special court of honor at the Middleville United Methodist Church. A member of Troop 105, Rob was the focus of the court of honor led by Scoutmaster Chuck Baughman. Other participants were Michael Rogers, Dann Tobin, Leonard Spyker, Jim Lewis, and UM pastors Rev. Brad Kalaiainen and Rev. Carl Staser. Ron, son of Mr. and Mrs. Robert Woodard, Irving Road, will be a senior at TKHS in the fall. To attain the rank of Eagle, he had to earn 21 merit badges. He exceeded that requirement by actually having 37 badges. Working his way up through the ranks (Tenderfoot, Second Class, Fir­ st Class, Star and Life), Rob took two years completing his requirements for Eagle status. This summer Rob will be the assistant waterfront direc­ tor at Boy Scout Camp Gerber (north of Muskegon), a position his held last summer also.

Hazardous waste, toxic waste, chemical waste, and nuclear waste are terms that, unfortunately, have become part of our daily vocabulary. When we think about these kinds of waste, the problems in reducing and disposing of them seem insurmoun­ table. With emphasis placed on hazardous waste, household waste is seemingly a less significant problem which is often overlooked. It is, in fact, a substantial threat to our environ­ ment. The scope of this threat is seen in just the amount of garbage we throw away each day. Accor­ ding to the Department of Natural Resources, each person in the United States generates 3.61 pounds of solid waste daily. Michigan alone generates 26,000 tons of garbage in one day. This means we are throwing away valuable resources, such as steel, aluminum, glass and paper, which will never be recovered. The loss of this recyclable material depletes our supply of raw material, and producing products from raw material rather than from recyclables uses considerable more energy. Increased energy consumption creates greater air, water and land pollution. Another threat to our environment is in the way valuable farmland is used as the container for household waste. It is this kind of land which best meets the requirements of a sanitary landfill under Michigan’s solid waste act. Like the loss of natural resources, this land can never be reclaimed. Even though landfills must comply with the safety measures under the act, the potential for en­ vironmental damage is there. Household hazardous waste disposal, for example, is not regulated. Twen­ ty years from now, perhaps sooner, the pesticides, paints, solvents, treated wood and human waste (in disposable diapers) might create the same ill effects that hazardous waste is creating today. By educating ourselves and acting in responsible ways, we can help reduce the problems of household waste. This is an area where we are accountable for our disposal habits. It isn’t the large corporation putting the trash on the curb, it ’s us. We begin to lessen the impact of household waste when we carefully consider our purchasing habits. Decreasing the use of paper plates, cups and napkins will make a difference. Especially impor­ tant is avoiding completely the use of styrofoam and plastic because they take much longer than paper to decompose. Buying food in bulk and in lesspackaged material will help too. Eliminating the use of some products altogether will have an immeasurable effect in reducing household waste. This doesn’t mean we have to do without — we can find a better, and often inexpen­ sive substitute. Replacing disposable diapers with cloth ones will not only direct human waste to the sewage treatment plant where it belongs, but will save trees, energy and money. Before buying hazardous products, try to find less dangerous or even non-toxic alternatives. Buy only what you will use - in this case, bulk is not better. Follow directions for disposal, or call the DNR or maufacturer for instructions on how to safely dispose of the waste container. Do not dump lef­ tovers into soil, down drains, sewers, or septic tank systems. Composting yard waste can remove as much as 25% from the waste stream. Redirecting food waste to the compost pile not only saves landfill space, but will enhance the home garden as well. Recyclable materials make up as much as 67% of the waste generated. Plastic can be taken to Caledonia Foods on M-37 in Caledonia. Only clean plastic milk jugs, orange juice bottles and cider jugs are acceptable, with labels, caps and rings removed. Oil from cars is recyclable at several service stations and repair shops throughout Barr County. Dumping used oil contaminates groundwaterk pollutes our oceans and lakes, and enters our food chain. Drain the oil into a suitable container with a cap to prevent spillage and recycle it. In Barry County, clear glass (bottles and jars(, aluminum (foil, cans, etc.), tin cans and small metal scrap are recyclable at the site in the Hastings Fire Station parking lot and at Middle Mart in Mid­ dleville. All material must be thoroughly washed. Caps, rings, styrofoam and plastic must be removed from glass. Window glass, light bulbs, green, brown and ceramic are not accepted. Tin cans must have labels removed. Flatten cans by removing both lids. Each of us will make a difference if we change our disposal habits. Collectively, our environmental future can be dramatically altered for the better. For further information, call RiBC at 795-7897 or 9488445, or write wo RiBC, P.O.

Craig Schmidt Caledonia School Announces Staff Appointments At its May 21 meeting, the Caledonia Board of Education approved the appointment of Craig Sch­ midt as Director of Personnel and Community Ser­ vices and Marsha A.

Ml I May 30,1985 TK Ties for 3rd in OK Blue Tennis Tournament Play Varsity Baseball Team Loses in Pre-district Play The 1986 baseball season ended abruptly for the TK Varsity on Friday, May 24, as they lost to state-ranked powerhouse Hamilton in the pre-districts round of tour­ nament play. Hawkeye ace hurler Bob Reimink allowed only two Trojan hits while striking out 9 in the 10-0 vic­ tory for the OK Blue Conference champions. Doubles by Mike Blair and freshman Ross Sprague helped TK put pressure on Hamilton in nearly every inning, but the key hits were missing for the Trojans. The season ends for TK with a 3-10 league record but with eager anticipation of the 1986 season. Inexperience contributed to several losses this season, and only one player, senior Rob Denniston, will be lost to graduation. JV players Brian and Mark Verlinde, Kurt Henry and Ross Sprague spent time with the varsity squad and showed great promise. Sophomores Randy Stickney and Mark Tasker joined juniors Bill Denniston, Zach Moore. Mike Blair and Jack Morlock to form a solid nucleus for a strong 1986 varsity team. Moore led the TK batting with a .350 average, 2 homers and 9 RBI in the league, while Randy Stickney was named to the OK Blue All Conferen­ ce team and will represent the Trojans at the annual John Bos all-star game in mid-June. Middleville JV's Defeat Caledonia in Softball Action The JV Girls Softball team concluded a successful season with a win over Caledonia's Fighting Scots. The game turned out to be a high scoring affair with TK coming out on top 27-21. TK lead throughout the ball game, but Caledonia never gave up as 3rd baseman Tracy Nove turned in a double play to kill a Scot rally in the 7th. Kim Olson was the starting pitcher for TK. Olson gave way to Wendy VanMalsen in the 2nd as Van Malsen picked up her 2nd consecutive win as well as recorded 10 strikeouts. Kris Wohlford and Jo Sclafani collected 3 hits apiece. Wohlford hit her 3rd round tripper of the season and 8 RBI’s. Sclafani collected her 4th triple of the season and 6 RBI’s.

The TK team now completes the season with a 14-5 overall record and a 10-4 conference record. Scores for the second half include wins of 8-5 against Maple Valley, 11-6 over Caledonia, 13-4 over Lee, 11-8 over Comstock Park, 4-1 over Godwin Heights. 9-3 over Byron Center and 15-10 over Kelloggsville. The Trojan losses were a 1-0 loss to Godwin Heights and a 152 loss to Hamilton. The J Vs played some excellent baseball this year with B.J. Furrow the leading pitcher, compling a 5-1 mark with 1 save, and allowing no earned runs in 42 innings of work. Mark Verlinde also did some fine pitching, picking up 2 wins and a save, while allowing only 3 earned runs a game, and leading the team at the plate with an outstanding .500 batting average. The Trojans also received help on the mound from Doug Fox, Kevin Kidder and Brian Verlinde, who all won two games apiece. In the hitting Department, Doug Fox led the team in home runs, was second in RBIs, and did an excellent job at first base. Ross Sprague tied for th team lead in batting average with a .500 rank, while leading the team in runs scored, RBIs, and stolen bases. Brian Verlinde also provided some excellent clutch hitting in batting .511 and placing second in runs scored and hits, while doing a fine job catching. Mark Irwin had a good on-base percentage as he led off for most of the season, and was a sure handed second baseman for the young Trojans. Rick Reigler was a versatile performer in playing both the infield and out­ field and hitting a healthy .375 at the plate. Blake Elderkin played all three outfield positions and did some important hitting in racking up a .302 average. Jeff Page did a nice job of filling holes at catcher, 3rd base and the outfield while putting together a .267 bat­ ting average. Terry Bowen was one of our main designated hitters, batting .261 in the process. Lance Patnoude also DH’d and was used as a courtesy runner and a pinch runner, stealing 8 bases in that capacity. Kurt Henry, who split the season between the Varsity and JV teams, did an excellent job at 3rd base while hit­ ting at a .375 clip. Andy Cummings played an important role in the out­ field in the latter part of the season by coming off the ben­ ch to make important contributions to the team. Bob Baldry also started the last ball game to help the team at 2nd base, while Doug DeVries helped the team in both the outfield and at 1st base on several different occasions. John Duyser rounded out the team as he provided utility insurance in both the infield and the outfield. The Trojan tennis team tied for third place with Caledonia in the conference tennis tournament this past week. Comstock Park was the ‘surprise’’ team in the tournament, finishing in second place.

M/JUNBC Lincoln Meadows New High School Building on Ballot Resident Gives New In Caledonia School District Election “Life” to Dolls When dolls go to the “hospital” under the loving care of Mrs. Louise Jackson of Lincoln Meadow, they soon have a new purpose in “life.” After Mrs. Jackson is done with her year-long project, the dolls are given to needy youngsters in Allegan County The doll project all began about 10 years ago when Mrs. Jackson’s daughter, who works at the Depar tment of Social Services in Allegan, brought some dolls to her mother to be “fixed up” for Christmas giving. Word soon got around that the lady had a talent for putting new life into the dolls, and since that time she has rejuvenated over 1,000 dolls. Three years ago she moved from the family home west of Bowens Mills into Lincoln Meados, but she keeps busy repairing the donated dolls. She makes new clothing for many of the dolls from donated material, spending hours so that some little girls will have a brighter Christmas. Last January Mrs Jackson received a Community Services Award for her Christmas project from the Allegan County Volunteer Services. Caledonia Community School district voters will decide a nearly $14 million dollar bond issue on Monday to build a new Senior High School and ad­ ditional elementary classrooms. A levy of 5.7 mills would be needed to raise the $13.96 million, with proponents of the issue saying the rate would likely decrease in successive years. The bond vote comes after a two year study by a citizens advisory group and the board of education. At stake are ten additional elementary classrooms at Dutton and Kettle Lake, a new high school that would include an auditorium, gymnasium and swimming pool, and refurbishing the present high school into a middle school. The proposed site for the new school would be ad­ jacent to school owned property just south and west of the present high school. In a flyer prepared by the “Together We Grow" committee, the need for the new facilities was outlined as “alleviating current crowded conditions, meeting growing enrollment, meeting increased in­ struction, fine arts and athletic needs and expan­ ding community needs through a Senior Citizen’s Center, Teen Center, pre-school, etc. ” The current junior high school would probably be utilized for Administrative office space, as well as a Community Center for teens, senior citizens, and a preschool program. TK to Vote on 2 Millage Issues At the annual school board election next Monday, voters in the Thornapple Kellogg School District will not only have to pick a member of the board of education (see related story), but also pass judgment on two millage issues. Commodities Distribution First of all the school is seeking a renewal of 16 mills for operation. The 16 mills represents 40% of Distribution of government commodities (cheese, the total budget for next year, reports Superinten­ butter, flour and graham flour) will take place on dent Jerry Page. Needless to say, the school system Wednesday, June 12, from 10 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. at would be inoperable without the renewal, says Page. Also at stake is a one mill levy for one year that the Village Community Hall in Middleville. New guidelines for senior citizen’s eligibility are as would provide funds to repair the leaking high follows: for one person, the annual income maximum school roof. The ongoing problem of fixing the roof comes about after years of piecemeal repairing. The is $8,400; for 2 people it is $11,280. board of education decided earlier this year to place the one mill issue before the people so that the com­ plete school roof can b$ taken care of. If the issue should not pass only a small portion of the repairs needed will be made, said Page. The one mill is not expected to raise taxes for the coming year. The Board, because of increased valuation of the district, can drop one mill from the bonded indebtedness levy and replace it with the one mill voted for the roof repair. “This has made good sense to the Board and Ad­ ministration as being the right time to try to repair the high school roof completely,” said Page. Four Candidates Seek One Open Seat on TK School Board Voters in the Thornapple Kellogg School district said. She also favors the one mill for the roof repair. will choose one of four candidates at the election Jane I. Roon, 2045 Fawn Ave., Middleville, is a next Monday. The unexpired term of Duane That­ cher had been filled with Pat Moretti last year, and first grade teacher for the Wyoming Public Schools, she is among the candidates for a full, four year seat on the board.

The Operations Manager of Middleville Manufacturing, Division of Simpson Industries, Miller has two children; Scott, who is a graduate of TK and Spencer, 15, a student at the school. His wife, Karen, is a teacher (16 years) at Hastings Area Schools. Miller listed his reason for running for the school board as “to have the opportunity to represent the people in the district and to be a part of finding solutions and implementing policies that would reflect the concerns of all on an equal basis.” He feels that his many years of business experience consisting of employee relations, budget planning, JOHN MUJLAB PATRICIA MOUTH problem solving and setting goals and objectives gives him the qualifications for a seat on the board. He favors the passage of the 16 mill renewal and the one mill needed for the high school roof repair Patricia G. Moretti, 10830 Shady Lane. Mid­ dleville, is a free lance court reporter and the mother of two TK school children, Jon. 17, and Missy, 15. Her statement concerning her candidacy includes: “I’m running for the school board because I want to be an integral part of the running of our school. “I feel I’m qualified because I’m a parent of children in the system and also a taxpayer. I have no axe to grind and I ’m able and willing to listen to people’s problems and suggestions regarding our school.” Moretti further stated that she favors the renewal passage as essential for the continuing education of the children. The school system is getting back on its feet after a long struggle and it would be grossly JANE BOON JANICE 8IEBK8MA negligent on our part not to pass the renewal. ’’ she r S PUBLIC LIBRARY having been with that system for 16 years. Roon, 36, and her husband “Kit” (Village Manager of Middleville) are the parents of two daughters, Erin, 12, and Megan, 6, both students at TK. A graduate of TKHS (1966), Roon has lived most of her life in the Middleville area. She did her un­ dergraduate work at Grand Valley State and received her Masters Degree in Education from Western Michigan University. Roon stated: “I have worked with various com­ mittees in different facets of education, so feel I have some knowledge as far as how a school district is run. My main reason for running for the school board is to help create conditions that will en­ courage and stimulate learning. As a concerned parent and member of this school district, I would hope to develop the best school district around, in which children can receive the best education possible.” Janice Brady Siebeema, 30. of 6075 Cherry Valley Road, Middleville, and her husband Michael are the parents of two children: Jason, age 5 and Jody 1 Vi years. She is a graduate of East Grand Rapids High School and received her B.S. degree from M.3.U. A summer resident of Gun Lake for 29 years, she has been a permanent resident of Thornapple Township for four years. Siebesma stated, in part, as her reasons for run­ ning for the board sead: “The TK school district is going to experience many exciting changes within the next few years.

Certify Simon Maichele’s As Centennial Farm The farm of Simon and Frances Maichele, 5654 Patterson, Middleville, was one of thirty-two in Michigan certified as Centennial Farms in May. A centennial farm is one which has been in continuous possession of the same family for 100 years or more, must contain a minimum of 10 acres with an estimated sale of $50, or, if less than 10 acres, gross sales of $250. Only land and not buildings is con­ sidered in qualifications. The Maichele farm was owned by his grandfather, Christian Maichele, in 1885. Certificates to owners are provided by the Michigan History Division of the Department of State and markers are provided by the Detroit Edison and Consumers Power companies. 54th DISTRICT STATE REPRESENTATIVE ... Bid Farewell to Mary and Mai Dodds The familiar faces of Mary and Mai Dodds will not be greeting the customers at the Middleville Variety Store any longer, but the tradition of service that they gave to the community will long be remem­ bered. Mary and Mai took a fledgling business back in 1978 and gave the town a much-needed variety store. Although they will be retiring from the Mid­ dleville store, they expect to be helping their son at his Ben Franklin store at Home Acres on Division Ave. in Grand Rapids. They also hope to do some traveling in the years ahead, something that has not been possible with the operation of retail stores most of their lives. Mary and Mai will be missed by the community; we wish them well in their retirement years. Class Reunion Reminder Don't forget the 1935 Class Reunion on June 15 at the Middle Villa Inn.

Boysen, Editor and Publisher Dale Boysen, Lois Bremer, Kathy Bremer Staff This week a House member shared with other lawmakers a questionnaire he has sent to his district. I was struck by the questions he posed — difficult questions about life and death. Because they deal with problems that elected represen­ tatives are being asked to wrestle with, I thought you would be interested in reviewing them. If you would like to share your views with me, please send your responses to: Representative Paul Hillegonds, State Capitol Building, Lansing, MI 48909. 1. A “Living Will" is a signed, dated and wit­ nessed document which allows you to state in ad­ vance your wishes regarding the use of life­ sustaining procedures when you are dying. It also has a provision for the appointment of someone else to direct your care if you are unable to do so your­ self. Only half of the states have adopted legislation recognizing the legality of “ living wills" but Michigan is not one of them. Would you favor legislation recognizing “living wills" as legally bin­ ding in Michigan? 2. If a person is determined to be “brain dead" by physicians and has made no other arrangements in writing, should that person’s family be given the right to deny the use of life-support systems to sustain the patient’s life? 3. Should Medicaid funds be used to pay for organ transplants for welfare recipients? 4. Do you favor the use of Medicaid funds for abortion for women who cannot afford private health insurance? 5. Do you feel that the use of Medicaid funds for an abortion should be prohibited in the cases of rape or incest? 6. Do you think public high schools should provide sex education, birth control information, and other sex-related information through in-school clinics to students. 7. A study has recently been conducted which suggests that if state funding of abortion for women on general assistance or AFDC is eliminated, the child delivery costs paid by the State of Michigan in the form of Medicaid dollars would exceed the abor­ tion coats by 2 to 3 times. If current State funding of abortions is eliminated would you support the State of Michigan paying for the increased costs associated with delivery, as well as the resulting cost increases in welfare expenditures. 8. The Constitution of the State of Michigan currently outlaws capital punishment. Would you favor a new constitutional amendment that would reinstate the death penalty for certain crimes, such as the killing of a law enforcement officer? OBITUARIES MRS. CORA D.

Children, ages 3-15, are invited to sign up for summer reading clubs at Kent County Library branches beginning the week of June 10. This year, three clubs with varying degrees of difficulty have been planned, and reading incentive prizes from Piz­ za Hut, Putt-Putt Golf, Denny's and Rogers Depar­ tment Store are being offered. Weekly programs have also been scheduled to sustain the readers' in­ terest and keep them visiting the library’ throughout the summer “A lot of Kent County children look toward the library for something to do during the summer,’’ says Childrens Services Coordinator Mary Frydrych. “The library provides free, quality programming that's tied to good literature. Parents, of course, like this and the fact that their children don’t lose important reading and vocabulary skills over the course of the summer. The Ready, Set. Go Book Club is designed for non­ readers ages 3-6 and parents who participate and “share” or read to their children. For every 10 books read, the children will receive a special prize. In the Robot Readers Book Club, for children ages 6-12, participants select library books at their own reading level and earn prizes. Robot readers will also contribute materials and help to built a robot - con­ structed of cans, boxes, springs, nuts, bolts - that will serve as the branch’s summer reading mascot. Other weekly programs including a Statue of Liber­ ty Read-in, magic stories, puppet shows and con­ tests, will provide added fun and one more reason to visit the library each week. Book Quest .. in Search of the Dragon’s Treasure has been devised for readers ages 10-15 who seek a challenge. Besides reading materials that they've selected themselves, Book Quest participants will be expected to read materials from a “challenge" list prepared by the children's services librarians. Only the strong and brave will survive this mystical journey of books and adventure. Schedule for Caledonia Branch Library for June: Week of June 10: Sign Up Week.

There has been so much confusion about them. Some say there was only one person, Squire Hill; some father and son; some uncle and nephew. In this series of three articles, George writes two on Calvin G. Hill; births, marriages, census reports, any facts he could get from all known sources. The last one is on Calvin Hill of Yankee Springs. It’s very concise and to the point and should help to point out the dif­ ferences. All quoted facts have been verified in records in New York, Massachusetts, New Ham­ pshire, Shiawassee County, Michigan, and Barry County. resolved. The French and Indian wars began in 1744, and Indian attacks were frequent. In the win­ ter of 1746 the Keene residents remained in the fort for safety, and in the spring abandoned the set­ tlement. which the Indians soon burned. Jabez Hill probably went back and forth between New Hampshire and Massachusetts several times during this period. Two children were born at Southborough. Mass.; Shadrack, a son, on 23 July 1744 and a daughter Rachel on 16 September 1747. In 1749 peace was made with the Indians, and set­ tlers slowly returned to Keene homesteads. Only nine houses had been rebuilt at Keene when daughter Hannah was born there to Jabez and Eunice on 15 August 1751. The French and Indian wars, and the Indian attacks renewed in 1754. so the fort at Keene was rebuilt. At an unknown time during the French and In­ dian Wars. Jabez Hill was taken from his family by Indians to Otsego County, New York; where he probably died of fatigue. Parents of Calvin Father Shadrick Hill was born 23 July 1744 at Southborough, Mass., and on 15 Oct. 1767 he married Ruth Graves there. Ruth was bom 20 June 1746 at Southborough, the daughter of Joseph and Mary (Newton) Graves. A son Calvin was born 21 September 1768 at Southborough to Shadrack and Ruth. He probably died young, as they had a later son Calvin. About 1770 the Hills moved to Middlesex County. Mass. There, in the Town of Framingham, son Enoch was bora 14 August 1774. He probably died young,^as after a lot of reading you stumble on one fact you re looking for. It’s an endless slow-building job to get the true story from all the facts gleaned from exten­ sive reading. My hat’s off to George, who I feel did a super accurate job.

The birth year for either Enoch or Jabez must be wrong, but both are given as 1774 in Framingham Vital Records. About 1777 the Hills came to Packersfield, Town of Nelson. Cheshire County, New Hampshire; about ten miles northeast of Keene. They were first set­ tlers on this homestead, which in 1968 was owned by Parke H. Struthers. Shadrack served there on the Committee of Safety; was Surveyor of Lumber in 1778; Tythingman in 1779; Sealer of Weights and Measures in 1780 and 1782; Sealer of Lumber in 1781andTownTrea8urerinl783. were Mn Martin Luther on 27 August 1778, son Enoch Harvey on 9 November 1780 and baptized 1 April 1781, and daughter Mary Mehitable on April 8, 1783 and baptized on 18 May 1783. - ~ . r uni ^^sfidXmestead was so!d to Thomas IU8tory Richardson in 1784, and the Hills moved north about fifty miles to the Town of Hanover in Grafton County..™’" ^°^769 to“edu^to IndS founded in the wilderness in 1769 to educate Indian youths.

New York, before 1810, and about, 1813 removed to the Town of Gates, which was then in Genesee County but after 1821 was in Monroa County, New York. Calvin came to Thornapple Township. Barry County. Michigan, in 1834; and in 1835 brought his family here. Calvin married Charlotte Castle before 1810. Charlotte was born 5 February 1791 in New York state, the daughter of Asa and Elizabeth (Doty) Castle. Charlotte’s birth has been given as in Washington County, and also in Town of Scipio in Cayuga County, New York. It is likely that her family moved from Washington to Cayuga County near the time of her birth. Calvin was a surveyor, and his services were engaged by agents of The Rochester Colony, seeking a site for settlement in Michigan in 1836. These people undoubtedly knew Calvin when he had lived near Rochester, New York, in the Town of Gates. Calvin did not sell them on Barry County, for an 11 May 1836 report by agent William Russell states, ‘We thought best to look further, and went to Barry County. We went, but soon returned. Got satisfied that it was too heavy timbered and rough, broken land for us.’’ The group settled in Duplain Township in Clinton County. Calvin G. Hill sur­ veyed the colony lots, and the plat was received for record on 27 October 1837 Calvin died 29 May 1867 and Charlotte died in January 1869. Both are buried in the Hill family plot at Mount Hope Cemetery in Middleville. Calvin and Charlotte had eleven children. Parents of Charlotte Hill Father Asa Castle was born 2 July 1771 in Ireland; died 30 July 1857 in Bennington Township, Shiawassee County. Michigan; and is buried in Oakwood Cemetery in Bennington Township. He married first. Elizabeth Doty. Elizabeth was 4 July 1770. He married second. Margaret Chitten­ don. on 25 March 1840. Margaret was born about 1805. Asa was in Michigan Territory before 1830, in what is now Bloomfield ------------------------- Township . in Oakland ( ounty. He removed to Bennington Township in Shiawassee County about 1842. Asa and his first Wife Elizabeth, had six children; Charlotte, Lemuel, Barnabas. Sabrina. Isaac and Drusilla. Charlotte'. brother.

Well - all except Friday when we all got sandblasted. But I think it's good to have some contrasts or we take Michigan for granted. It’s a prety good state. I 'm happy and satisfied here, aren’t you? Doug Hart was catching me up on their Memorial weekend news. Ann Marie graduated from pre* school. All the classes went to John Ball Zoo. So Doug and Liz took the day off and had a good time with Ann. Thursday both sets of parents and Kathy 's great-grandfather came to watch her play Martha Washington in the 4th grade musical. Friday they attended the adult education graduation at Hastings. Saturday they attended open houses for a lot of their adult students - One was in Hickory Cor­ ners and the Harts had never been there before. This week the Harts attended many graduation open houses. Memorial Day they went to Portland to Liz’s folks to celebrate Michael's 3rd birthday. The Shermans had a quiet, relaxing weekend. The Jim Oliver family went over to Kathy’s parents at Hillsdale. Kathy’s brother leaves with the Navy Band on a six week tour of South America and then Africa. Paul Newman and Betty had their children drop in to help their dad celebrate his birthday. To cap the day. Paul’s brother called and visited him. Pat Sullivan said daughter Linda is getting married so Pat and Joan attended a shower given by Linda’s co-workers in Grand Rapids. Donnie Williamson is home from New Jersey for the summer and already has a job and will be living in Grand Rapids. Chuck and Dorothy Corson had dinner with An­ nette in Kalamazoo. Then daughter Maureen and girl friend from Grand Ledge went to visit at MSU. Don't forget (Rod Finkbeiner reminded me) that the Heritage group has their potluck supper at our house June 19 at 6:30. We'll try to eat outdoors, but can change to inside if the mosquitoes eat more than we do. They are really terrific this year. The area is creek, woods and swamp. Spraying is not a bit effec­ tive - too large an area - so bring mosquito dope on the chance it will help. Wanda Moore said Nora was here over Decoration Day. She got to see everyone because they all came home. She got to see her new nephew and her gran­ ddad. They had a cookout and all had a good family time. A caring, sharing family sure builds us up, doesn't it? Clarence and Joanne Barnes attended graduation open houses this weekend. They went to their gran­ ddaughter's graduation in Charlotte Saturday. Daughter and son-in-law from Spring Lake went with them. Chris Chambers graduated Sunday and they had a family open house. John and wife were up from Illinois, as well as a lot of aunts and uncles.

Many teams failed to score any points which enabled the Trojans to finish in the middle, by scoring two important wins. The Trojan’s number one singles player Todd Courts won a match over Northport, 6-3, 6-1. Dan DeMorrow also wan a match over Armada 1-6, 6-1, 6-1.

We had a few match points in this match, but just came up short when it counted. Jon and Doug played very well and are to be complimented for a great effort. In second doubles we had anouther rough draw. Dave Elies and Jeff Kuehn drew the number one seeded team, and eventual state champions from Kalamazoo Hackett. Wo loot this match 2-6, 0-6 The third doubles team of Steve Egleston and Kevin Martinez also drew a seeded team from North Muskegon. North Muskegon won the match 6-1,6-1. The trip to the state tournament was the third in a row by Trojan tennis teams. In ths past three years, Trojan teams have finished 7 th. 6th and 13th in the state com­ petition. A trip to the state tournament is what every team works for during the season, and that will be our goal again next year. This was a great year for us to make the state tournament because we have five freshmen and one sophomore in the starting line-up. Special awards are given at the end of every tennis season. This year out team was lead by two outstanding seniors, Todd Courts and Eric Hannapel. Todd and Eric were this year s co-captains. Both players were directly involved over the past three years with our trips to state tournaments Todd played on a conference championship t^vn his freshman year. Todd and Eric participated on two regional runner-up teams, and one regional cham­ pionship team. Todd and Eric were both named first team This year’s most valuable player is Todd Courts. The most improved player is Dan DeMorrow. Dan was also named all-conference second team. Congratulations to this year’s tennis team for another strong finish.

One couple missed the dinner, but came to Mid* dleville anyway. Better luck in 1986 as we have planned to assemble again, hopefully at the same place. Robert Faulkner and wife Mary wrote a nice letter which was appreciated by the group. The Faulkners reside in Florida and were unable to come at this time. Members and friends present were: Walter and Evelyn White Breuninger, Glenn and Lorene Kaecbele, Vere and Bernice Carter, Olive Finkbeiner Holloran, Evelyn Perrault Noffke. Leroy (Ted) Smith. Thelma Carl and Ruth Finkbeiner Klump. We hope to have a 100% attendance in 1986. Let s work on it Bob and Mary, Charles and Helen Lewis.

Big Top at Hastings June 22 Recognized for four years as the * Biggest Big Top on Earth," the great Carson and Barnes 5-Ring cir­ cus reaches a new pinnacle with its enlarged 1985 performance, coming to Cook and Green Roads at Big Wheel, Hastings, for one day only, with shows at 2 and 8 p.m. on Saturday. June 22. The Circus is sponsored by the Hastings Chamber of Commerce. Hailed as a ‘ * return to the good old days. ’' Carson and Barnes Circus features 25 elephants, a 61,000.000 zoo of wild, exotic and domestic animals and top-flight human performers from 17 nations It is the type of show that parents and grandparents will remember seeing when they were youngsters. Highlighted are no fewer than 111 acta, each of which is described by the circus management as “center ring calibre. " Included are: Patricia White’s mixed group of Nubian lions and Siberian tigers; four troupes of flying trapeze artists, including for the first time in circus history three triple­ somersaulting athletes- ring-upon-ring of prancing liberty horses; for the first time in America, the thrilling high wire exploits of the daring Israel Rosales; and from Chile, Miss Orianna performing feats of grace and daring on the single trapeze high in the dome of the big top. Among the 25 species in the menagerie are a giraf­ fe. hippopotamus and rhinoceros. History books come to life as Carson and Barnes uses some of its huge elephant herd for the morning chore of erecting the shining new polyvinyl tent, which stretches more than a city block long. Area residents are invited to come to the showgrounds on circus morning to witness this age-old spectacle and to see unloading, feeding and watering of the many animals Midway attractions open at least one hour before each performance. Tickets will be on sale at the circus show day. Plans for the Caledonia Independence Celebration continue to go well as the June 29 date approaches A few changes and additions to previously printed articles are in order. The parade will start at 11 a.m. rather than 12 noon as reported earlier. Those wishing to participate should contact Dr. Douglas Atkinson at 891-9245. A big omission from our first article was the trac­ tor pulls. This year there will be three tractor pulls at the Celebration: a mini-modified pull, a farm stock pull (6,000 lbs.), and something new for the kids, a "Puff the Dragon Pedal Pull". The kids pull is an all-new event for Caledonia and will include kids from the ages of 3 to 10 years of age. They will be divided into age groups, with prizes given to the winners of each group. The tractor pullers say this is a real fun time for both the participants and spec­ tators alike. Please call Wes Schaffer at 868-6054 for more information. The number of Arts and Crafts and Food Booths are growing almost daily. Anyone still interested in participating in the event in any way should call Jerry or Theresa Durkee as soon as possible at 4556897. The participation from the community is fan­ tastic this year. The 1985 Caledonia Independence Celebration will truly be a community event — Don’t miss it! Remember, there are chances at winning a ride in a hot air balloon or on the helicopter with every donation to the fireworks. The local businesses helping with these tickets are: Caledonia Foods, Caledonia Standard, Caledonia Lumber, The Wagon Wheel, The Harvest House, Uptown Cleaners, The Cedar Closet, The Color Spot, Caledonia Village Hardware and the Family Tavern. The Caledonia Area Jaycees urge you to patronize your local businesses The drawing for the ride winners will be live on Caledonia Cablevision on Wednesday evening, June 26. Let’s all meet at the Lakeside Park on the 29th of June and have one fantaatic, fun-filled day. HASTINGS PUBLIC LIBRARY . 121 S.

LETTERS X__________________________________________ _____________________________________________ Mr. Editor. As I walked toward the high school Monday, I could not help but notice how unkept the area was. Milkweeds were knee high, buckhorn was a foot high and dried up on both sides of the walks. Weeds were growing from cracks in the pavement and higher than the curb. The same as at school election last year. It would seem that the school board, the ad­ ministration and the custodial staff lose interest real fast when it comes to caring what the area looks like to the voters. Paul Gibson Dear Mr. Editor: This June 14 marks the 44th anniversary of the Baltic Holacaust, the most tragic event in the history of the Estonian. Latvian and Lithuanian people. On this date, in 1941, the Sovjet Union began mass extermination and deportation of in­ nocent men, women and children from these three previously independent nations. During the night of June 13-14, Sovjet secret police went from house to house and arrested entire families, herding them into railroad cattle cars bound for Sovjet slave labor camps in Siberia. In Latvia alone, almost 16,000 people disappeared in one night. In the ensuing months, nearly 600,000 Baltic citizens, 10% of the Estonian, Latvian and Lithuanian populations - were eliminated. The tragedy of this event is compounded by the fact that This Sunday marks the 20th anniversary of the its perpetrators have never been brought to justice, first service of the Peace Reformed Church and their crimes continue to oppress the people of congregation.

Some of the youngsters left with smiles a yard wide. Some left with tears in their eyes. Many received hugs on their way through the door. All were shouting good-bys. Then the buses homes started blowing and the youngsters started waving, and the teachers and the principal waved back. It’s quiet now, for a while. Oh, there will be some activity around the scool, but nothing like during the school year. All’s quiet until September. The Caledonia Elementary Honors Assembly held on June 4 showed just how talented our young people are. Mike Alberts won awards in Young Authors, The Math Contest, Spelling Bee, SEAR­ CH, Discovery 2000, and the Presidential Academic Achievement. But he was not the only busy person. Korey Hofman won awards in Young Authors, Spelling Bee, Presidential Physical Fitness Award and Presidential Academic Achievement. Steve Douglas and Todd Whitman each won 3 awards. Congratulations to these and all the young people who won awards. Our junior high jazz band performed at Festival 85 Saturday. Heard they did super.

The Happy 60 Club potluck was held Monday at the Caledonia United Methodist Church with 39 present. Do you like to ride bicycles? Can you imagine riding one for 24 hours. Or for several hundreds of miles. Well, on June 15 and 16, the Rapid Wheelman bicycle club of Grand Rapids are holsing the Michigan National 24 hour Challenge. This is a personal best bicycle ride, not a race, where about 352 registered riders, 18 years old and older, from 15 states and Canada, ride their bicycles on a course (they call it a loop) for 24 hours. Rain or shine. Day and night. They will start from Douglas Walker Park in Byron Center at 8:00 a.m. on Saturday and will go through or near Byron Center, Grandville, Walker, Kent City, Cedar Springs, Sheffield, Grat­ tan, Lowell, Bowne Center, Caledonia, and back to Douglas Walker. Only 115 miles, but they’re not done yet, because when they have completed loop 1, they start on loop 2, which is another 26 miles. This loop is from Douglas Walker Park to Byron Center Ave., to 76th Street to Kraft Ave., to 100th St. to Patterson Ave., to 92nd St., to Eastern Ave and bak to Douglas Walker Park. The loops can be ridden as many times as can be accomplished from about 1 p.m. until dusk. Are they finished yet? No! They now go on to loop 3 which is 6 miles and goes from Byron Center Ave. to 76th St. to Clyde Park Ave. to 84th St. and back to Byron Center Ave., and it, too, can be ridden as many times as can be completed by 8 a.m. Sunday. Then about 9 a.m. Sunday, June 16, the awards ceremony takes place. I'm tired just reading about all the miles these riders will put on this weekend, and I think they all should get medals. But what we can do to help them is to be on the look-out for them and be extra courteous and careful when we meet them on the roads. Maybe even give them a word of encouragement. They should be in our area starting about noon Saturday until about 6 o’clock. You’re most apt to see them from east of Caledonia on 100th St. and on Kinsey to Johnson to Kraft to 100th St., to Patterson to 92nd St., etc. on the way to Douglas Walker. Here’s hoping that all 300 plus riders have a safe and en­ joyable ride. Good luck to all! Did you vote June 10? Voting is your privilege The Sun and News.

Renter's Insurance? The Suh and News, Middleville, Ml I June 13,1985 I Page 9 /*---------------- — ~ s LANSING DIARY by PAUL HILLEGONDS 54th DISTRICT STATE REPRESENTATIVE \_____________________ __________________ ___ _________ ' Listed below are some of the bills considered by the House in recent weeks. I supported these measures, which have been approved by the House and are now before the Senate. _ Pensions in Divorce Judgments (HB4059-67, 4174). This package would amend the divorce statute to require that all rights in vested pension, annuity or retirement benefits would be considered part of the marital estate subject to award in a judgment of divorce or in a child support order. Ac­ cumulated contributions in a retirement system ac­ crued during marriage could also be subject to a divorce judgment. Art Multiples Sales (HB 4070-72). A consumer protection package, these measures would govern the sale of prints, photographs and other visual art objects produced in multiples and sold as one of a limited number from a single artist. Dealers would be required to provide certain information about the artist and the origin of the work. Express warran­ ties would be created, and false information would allow the buyer to return the art copy and recover the sale price plus 12% from the date of purchase. School Bonding for Asbestos Removal (HB 421819). Before 1978, asbestos was widely used in school building construction as insulation and a fire retar­ dant. Mounting evidence now links exposure to asbestos with health problems such as respiratory infections and even lung cancer. These bills will allow school districts to issue general obligation bonds or notes to finance energy conservation im­ provements or the removal of asbestos in school facilities. Flying Under the Influence (HB 4209). Michigan currently has no law forbidding a person to operate an airplane while under the influence of alcohol or drugs. This measure provides for the arrest, gathering of evidence, prosecution and levying of penalties similar to the new and tougher law dealing with driving under the influence of intoxicating substances. Plain English Contracts (HB 4146). After years of debate, the House compromised on a bill that would require that contractual agreements between customers and businesses be written in “plain language." Contracts regulated by the measure would include leasing or financing agreements for goods, property or services of a personal or family nature. As more states, courts, and businesses themselves have started to develop standards for “plain language’’ contracts, my opposition to such a bill has changed to support. Such a law now should mean less legal jargon, more understandable con­ tracts — and less litigation. State Department Auditors (HB 4423). Michigan state agencies spend nearly $13 billion in state and federal taxpayer-provided funds each year. They employ about 50,000 people to provide various ser vices. To assist legislators and department heads in monitoring the administration of those funds, this bill would require each principal state department to establish an internal accounting and administrative control system using generally accepted accounting principles. The State Auditor General advised House members that his efforts to audit state agen cies and push for improvements in state operating procedures would be greatly enhanced by thie proposal. Assisting Drivers Away from the State (HE 4460). For the convenience of Michigan resident* such as college students and military personnel wh< must be out of the state for long periods of time, thii bill would allow a driver’s license to be extended foi two years while the holder is away, rather than foi the current 90 days. Bee Quarantines!HB 4348). Bees are not only o importance in honey production, but are needed foi pollination of several important Michigan crops This measure would authorize the Department o Agriculture to respond more quickly in imposing I bee quarantine should there be an outbreak of be< diseases currently afflicting other states.

Recently the McFall Elementary students and staff honored their retiring head cook, Lois Stauffer, on "Lois Stauffer Day.” Mrs. Stauffer had served lunches at TK for 26 years, and has served at Mc­ Fall for the last 24 of those years. Mrs. Stauffer has always been well liked by the McFall students as she operated a cheerful kitchen and was always con­ cerned that each student received a satisfying meal. During her special day, Mrs. Stauffer received greetings from a multitude of well-wishers, and at the end of the day she attended an assembly given in her honor where she was showered by gifts and songs by the McFall classes. Following the gift presentations, the assembly moved outside where the service drive in front of McFall was dedicated "Stauffer Drive." A street sign was placed at the drive entrance, and Lois cut the ribbon to open her street. Although she will be missed, all at McFall wish Lois a long and enjoyable retirement. Her efforts to provide an efficient kitchen operation combined with a warm and caring atmosphere will long be ap­ preciated. Thank you, Mrs. Stauffer.

Middleville Shows it Really Cares For most people, March has been a memory for the past 2Vi months, but for the Middleville Cares Committee, the end of March has just arrived. Back in February, two couples. Max and Phyl Miner and Ron and Diana Schreer, approached the village council asking that March be declared “Mid­ dleville Cares Month", with all proceeds being sent to C.A.R.E., Inc. for African relief. Their request was granted, and for the whole month of March, plus April, May and part of June, with a lot of help from their friends, and the generosity of the community, the Middleville Cares Committee has raised nearly $4000 to help feed the countless hungry people in Africa. Most recent in a variety of money making projec­ ts was the operation of the concession stand at all varsity and junior high track meets which netted $855.63. In addition to the $3,926.50 raised for C.A.R.E., a clothing drive gathered a huge amount of clothing, some of which was channeled to the needy of Barry County, the rest of which was transported by the Bradford White Corporation to International Aid in Spring Lake. MI to be forwarded to Africa. As the last check is written and the Middleville Cares Committee account is closed, Ron Schreer, one of the originators, spoke for the group, “We would like to express our appreciation to all those people who, through their efforts, contributions and concern helped so many human beings who have no other avenue to carry them away from their hunger. We have learned, in this community effort, another meaning for CARE — Citizens Are Really Everything."

The new company will be known as HCB Financial Corporation and will be chartered as a Michigan corporation and registered as a bank holding company with the Federal Reserve System. Shareholders of the Hastings City Bank will be asked to exchange their shares for shares in the new holding company. Mr. Robert E. Picking, President and Chief Executive Officer of The Hastings City Bank, noted that the Board of Directors had studied the reorganization for an extended period of time and recently concluded that the holding company for­ mation would provide the bank with greater flexibility in competing in an increasingly deregulated banking industry. Under the holding company format. The Hastings City Bank will have an opportunity to provide its customers with new products and services, and enter new lines of business. Mr. Picking emphasized that this transaction would assist The Hastings City Bank in its efforts to remain independent and, at the same time, provide its customers with the most modern banking services.

The theme of the evening was “Graduation Celebration, ’85”. It was an army theme, patterned after Mash. 108 graduates met at the high school at 7:30 to the in­ duction center to receive their dog tags for the celebration. They left in busses and drove to Ken­ twood skating arena. While there they enjoyed “Rick Springfield” in mime with backup dancers. Graduates were encouraged to wear army fatigues to carry out their theme. At 11:15 they arrived at the Middle Villa and enjoyed Tom Ellis and the Med Riders. Names were drawn all night long so that everyone received a prize at some time in the evening. Dinner was in the mess hall. Surgical gloves were blown up like balloons. After dinner they could go into the officers club for rest and relaxation at the casino, bowling and dancing. At the bowling and casino they won chips that could be used on auctioned items. Sue Crumback’s brother Colin was the auctioneer. After that more food for breakfast. Great meals. From reports, it was a great party. Everyone was hugging everyone else. Everyone was friendly, nice and polite. Parents did not get involved with anything. They were officers Beth Timmer was the No. 1 organizer of the evening party. Lots of parents were involved doing other things. They spent the whole night to be with the graduates. It was adver­ tised as the first class reunion, and that’s what everyone says it was.

Statue of Liberty Read-In June 27th at Caledonia The week of June 24-28 will provide a special oppor­ tunity to celebrate freedom, liberty and heritage as children ages 3-15 are invited to participate in the Statue of Liberty Read-In at Kent County Library branches. The Read-In at the Caledonia Branch library will be on Thursday, June 27. from 11:00 a.m. until 4:00 p.m. At the read-in, participants, or “freedom readers,’’ will tally the number of hours they’ve spent in the library reading. For each hour accumulated, the Sons and Daughters of Italy will donate $1 to the Statue of Liberty restoration fund. “Years ago, children heard about the immigrants and their adventure to this new and exciting coun­ try from parents or grandparents who had, them­ selves, been immigrants. Today, as the immigration movement has changed, many children aren’t privy to these tales from relatives. If not through books, children might now know what it is like to be an immigrant and, although time has passed, many new imigrants face the same old problems,” says Kent County Children’s Services librarian Mary Frydrych. I think it’s exciting and important for children to read about and understand their heritage as well as the immigration movement,” says Frydrych. "Also, it’s been a real pleasure to arrange this with the Sons and Daughters of Italy as they’re so suppor­ tive of our reading goal, and we’re delighted to do our part to help save the Statue of Liberty, too." Readers will be given a surprise reading token for their participation in the read-in. BUY TWO ITEMS at the REGULAR PRICE xIget third item* at 1/2 PRICE P (Includes Sale Priced Merchani ‘ dise.

Under legislation approved by the Senate, the state’s Medicaid program may have a chance to prove them right. Senate Bill 330, passed recently, could drastically change the way Michigan's Medicaid program is run. The system is currently operated by the state Department of Social Services, but the newlyapproved legislation would allow the state’s $1.7 billion Medicaid system to be contracted out and administered by either a public or private entity. Proposals for running the program would be due by July 1, 1986, and would be based on specifications written by the Department of Management and Budget (DMB). Criteria for awar­ ding the contract would be based on more than just the lowest bid. To be considered, an entity must have financial stability, proven ability in ad­ ministering a program like Medicaid, and experience with medical claims and underwriting medical ser­ vices. The bill also requires that the DMB give preference to proposals submitted by Michigan­ based organizations, and that private bidders be able to produce a $10 million performance bond. As the DMB solicits bids, the Legislature will continue to be involved. Lawmakers will have over­ sight of the specifications written by DMB, review of the bids and will supervise the process DMB uses to match bids with the specifications in reaching its final decision. If a public entity wins the contract, the Auditor General will evaluate the program after six months to make sure all the services that were promised are actually being delivered. If they are not, the con­ tract can be immediately turned over to the next lowest bidder. If a private company wins the contract, DMB will continually monitor the firm’s performance. If the contractor fails to deliver the negotiated services, the DMB will have the authority to impose penalties or terminate the contract entirely. Introducing private competition into the Medicaid arena is not completely new. Private firms run at least a portion of the medical assistance programs in more than 20 states. The state stands to benefit from contracting the Medicaid program out. Under the legislation, the state negotiates a fixed premium rate for one year. If it costs more to run the program, overrruns up to a certain level must be paid by the administrator, not the state. This will help stabilize annual budgeting, since the state will pay a fixed sum every year. If it costs less, 85 percent of the savings revert to the state. More important, though, the recipients will benefit from better services. As health care providers are paid more quickly for their services and the program operates more efficiently, more doctors will participate in the program, giving recipients a wider choice and better accessibility to health care. And that’s the bottom line in any health care program. 4-H Exploration Days at MSU Involve Area Youth Several Barry County young people and adults are traveling to East Lansing this week to par­ ticipate in 4-H Exploration Days at MSU on June 19-21. The group will spend three days learning about new career opportunities and enhancing their knowledge and skills in such areas as careers unlimited, crafts, photography, personal appearance and livestock. “Exploration Days is the only program of its kind in the country,” says Kathy Walters, Barry County 4-H Youth Agent. “Par­ ticipants have a chance to learn new skills, meet new friends and sample college life at a Big Ten univer­ sity." Nearly 3,000 young people and adults are expec­ ted to participate in this year's event. In addition to taking part in learning options, delegates will also attend a number of evening entertainment offerings, including a dance and international activities. “4-H Exploration Days is a memorable and valuable experience,” Walters says. “Many of our delegates will be able to use the skills they gain at the event to improve 4-H activities in their com­ munities." Attending Exploration days this year from Mid­ dleville will be Koren Thomas. Amanda Baerman. Chad Sitzer, Anne Browne, Jo Hannah Steiner, Matt Weisenhofer, Andrea Reurink, Gina Stein. Kelly Wieringa, Lori Wieringa and Jenny Flynn. Chaperones from Middleville will be Jan Wiesenhofer and Nancy Browne.

IN TOUCH BY REPRESENTATIVE BOB BENDER House Narrowly Approves Special Taxes for Cobo Addition Although I voted against it, the Michigan House has passed on to the State Senate a tax package that would raise the state liquor tax to a uniform 15.5 percent, from the existing 8 percent for on­ premise drinking and 9.85 percent for off-premisa drinking. A portion of the revenue from the liquor tax increase collected in Wayne, Oakland and Macomb counties will be used to fund construction of a new addition to Detroit’s Cobo Hall, and the revenue generated in Michigan’s other 80 counties will be divided between the development of county substance abuse programs, and discretionary use by the county. The other tax measure approved would increase the 5 percent hotel/motel room tax in Oakland, Wayne and Macomb counties. House Approves Supplemental Budget Bill I supported, and the Michigan House of Representatives approved 898.8 million in ad­ ditional general fund spending for the current fiscal year which ends October 1. I ncluded in the budget addition are 134.2 million for new prison construc­ tion and 817 million for the Michigan Youth Corps. Counting federal funds and other non-general funds, the total supplemental budget bill totals 8210.4 million Senate Defeats Death Penalty Bid By a vote of 13-21, the Michigan Senate defeated a proposal that would have placed the rein­ stitution of the death penalty before Michigan voters in the 1986 General Election. The proposed constitutional amendment can now only be placed before the voters through the petitioning process /——————————————------- V RiBC’s Recycling Tips Oil Update _____________________________________ > The Michigan Used Oil Recycling Project has been very successful. The following is an excerpt from the March 1985 issue of Waste Watchers Up­ beat Update. “A coordinated statewide network now exists in Michigan for the collection and recycling of used motor oil. Begun in Kent County during 1980, this program has expanded to include virtually every county in Michigan. Each county has a local organization, and through their efforts, the serious problem of used oil pollution is being turned into a potentially lucrative recycling system. “In Michigan approximately 40.347,000 gallons of used and contaminated motor oil are generated each year. According to a 1981 survey by Market Facts of Chicago, cars, trucks and farm machinery owners account for almost half of the oil generated, and over 61 % of these owners dump their oil. Thus about 11,567,430 gallons of oil in Michigan has been dumped. Nationally the figure is about 224,130,470 gallons, or about one gallon per person per year. The dumping or improper disposal of used motor oil may have negative impacts on aquatic organisms. One quart of oil can foul the taste of 250,000 gallons of water. Finally, small amounts of the toxic substances in used oil can kill the small organisms that support the foor chain or can con­ centrate in the tissues of higher animals. “The threat of pollution is only one aspect of the recycling effort. Oil is a valuable reusable resource which should not be discarded. Used motor oil can be refined (cleaned and purified) and become high quality oil again. This process is much easier and cheaper than producing it from crude oil pumped out of oil reserves. Used motor oil can also be burned as fuel oil following processing for removal of the hazardous substances. Barry County has participated in this program for three years. Recycling in Barry County coordinates it locally with 13 collection sites in Hastings. Mid­ dleville, Delton, Freeport and Woodland. Of the 42,620 gallons of used crankcase oil available for collection from do-it-yourself oil changers, ap­ proximately 2,660 gallons ■ twice as much as in 1983 - was collected in Barry County in 1984. Barry County has an abundance of fresh water streams and lakes, rich farmland and bountiful plant and animal life. Let’s protect our environment and recycle our used oil. The following are local oil collection sites. Used oil may be brought to any of them in reusable containers such as plastic milk jugs. Caledonia Standard and in Middleville at Ben­ der’s Service, Dee’s Union 76. Mike’s Garage, Ted’s Auto Service and Gavin Chevrolet. Folks in Freeport can recycle used oil at Blough Brothers or Yoders Service. �Prairie Sketches w/f/j LOfS BREMER and JANETTE VAN RHEE Last Sunday Don and Kay Link went to their daughter Kathy’s house to celebrate the family bir­ thdays for May and June.

Since we’re long on space and short on news this week, am going to just ramble for a while ... Sum­ mer marks the beginning of the “reunion season and our families certainly have had it on our minds lately. On the last weekend of this month, the ex­ tended families of my (and Alice Steiner s) brothers and sisters will gather on the Prairie. Tom’s family had such a good time last year they’re coming back, too. More of them! It seems as though the older we get, the longer it takes to “get ready ” ahead of time — but we value this time together more each year in proportion. In the past year, four of ‘our generation’ have had traumatic illnesses and/or surgeries. We are growing old together and how thankful we are for the support of each other, whether we are together or apart.

This weekend it doesn't matter much - all are family. We get out our family tree book to study who is married and who has new babies, how old they are, how many — and it is mostly to no avail because this group changes so much each year. But here lies the most fun and our investment in the future. While I realize that most families don’t raise a dozen children like our parents did — and not too many raise seven like Tom and I — most everyone has some family. Cherish them, even when they disagree with the things you do or the way you con­ duct your life - or vice versa - for these become the golden strands that bind your lives and memories. I hope you all have a family reunion soon. too. Happy birthday son John! In The Service Pvt. Ted G. Bair Pvt. Ted G.

LETTERS J Vacation Bible School at Leighton The Barry County Book Committee added another chapter to Barry County history by submit­ ting their finished manuscript for publishing of a new Barry County history book. In a public ceremony held at the Provincial House in Hastings, chairman Roy Kent submitted to Mary Penney of Taylor’s Publishing Company of Dallas, the first half of the manuscript for Barry County History Book, 1986. The manuscript contained 1,307 family histories of Barry County past and present residents. In­ cluded also was a history of each of the county's six­ teen townships, with photos of topical history, schools, churches and other subjects. The next step in the project will be to prepare the second half of the book in manuscript form. The committee will work on histories of county businesses, memorial and tribute pages for county residents, and a special tribute to county war veterans. Work will continue on this until about July 15. “It’s quite a process,’’ said Ms. Penney, “but everything is going according to schedule, and with the work the book committee has done and will be doing, Barry County residents can be proud of the history book they will soon own.' ’ Book sales will continue until September 1, when they will be stopped. Anyone wishing to purchase a memorial or tribute page can do so until July 15. Book orders can be sent to: The Barry County Book Committee, 3160 South Broadway, Hastings, MI 49058.

To the Editor: Or shall I say "Dear Chamber of Commerce" This letter isn’t going to wait a week for rebuttal* of the Chamber s minutes printed in this week 's paper. I’m insulted for all of us right now. Since I am laboring under the impression that a Chamber of Commerce is to promote local business, can it be that they are not aware that there truly is a newspaper in their town? To print in the minutes that their advertising money for the big garage sale is going out of town to the Reminder is somewhat demeaning, to say the least. They will take all the “free press’’ we will give, but the money goes somewhere else! Maybe the Chamber will print everyone’s free news releases when there is no more newspaper to do it.

Her doctor ordered her to a nursing home and the next night she passed away. I guess she just couldn't comprehend she would no longer go back to her home to live. She was a friend to many. At times she could be very trying, but having lived with muscular sclerosis for 32 years, I doubt if many could have been so patient. She was a teacher at Caledonia Elementary Schools for many years, and a teacher she always remained. May God be with her.

CAPITOL COLUMN by RICHARD POSTHUMUS STATE SENATOR Under legislation approved by the Senate recen­ tly. the auto insurance industry in Michigan could be in for some major revisions. Car insurance rates are currently regulated under the Essential Insurance Law. which went into effect six years ago. The law stipulates insurers must keep outstate premium rates at a certain percentage of Detroit rates, and are also restricted by geographic territories. The new legislation, however, changes the way rates are set. House Bill 4715 removes all rate­ setting restrictions outside the City of Detroit, while limiting the increase in Detroit rates to 15 percent per year for five years. In addition, a $ 1 sur­ charge would be placed on most insurance policies to fund the Auto Theft Prevention Authority. The S5 million fund would be housed within the Depar­ tment of State Police, and charged with developing programs to deter auto theft in Detroit. An amen­ dment added during the final day of debate requires insurers to reduce rates based on savings from the new mandatory seatbelt law which goes in­ to effect July 1,1985. Few legislative proposals have been as controver­ sial as this one. Detroit legislators believe the move is yet another example of the “anti-Detroit” feeling they claim is evident in state government. They also argue that removing the regulations punishes Detroiters for living in a community with a high auto theft rate. Backers of the bill, though, say the current system unfairly forces people in outstate, low-risk areas to subsidize the insurance industry ’s losses in Detroit. Supporters also state the bill will help in­ surance companies that are losing money in Detroit make up the losses. Also, insurance companies which have been reluctant to write policies in Detroit because of the high risk involved may be more willing if they have to contend with fewer rate restrictions. As more insurance companies under­ write Detroit policies, competition would increase and rates would remain stable. There is no guarantee this proposal will emerge from the House, which must now concur in the changes, in the same form it was voted on in the Senate. Even if a conference committee is formed to negotiate a compromise, though, the changes are sure to be an improvement over the current system.

This land was located in the north­ part of Yankee Springs Township, parts of Sec. Here’s Marian and Neal Cook’s story on Bowens 8west and 17. The lake which is now known as Payne Mills. I think it is a beautifully written and very in­ Lake was included in this tract. teresting article. Have good reading. Of course, one of the first things needed in those early days of Barry County was a sawmill. Soon a WITH NORMA VELDERMAN Mortgage Protection Insurance? One name says it best. DEVRIES INSURANCE AGENCY CALEDONIA PHONE 891-8125 Mr. Payne and his son-in-law built a dam and sawmill where two creeks joined just north of tpe lake. It was powered by a water wheel with a 4 foot fall and they were soon sawing 1,000 foot of lumber a day. The creeks became known as Payne and Hoag Creeks. (Hoag Creek’s name has since been changed to Cobb Creek. About 1838, Nathan Barlow, a lawyer, purchased some land which included the sawmill. Seeing the added potential of more water power a quarter of a mile or so up the creek, Mr. Barlow relocated the mill to its present location. History tells us he used many of the original timbers. Ox teams were used to transport them. Upon building the wooden dam across the creek, the water was backed up 14 feet. Sketches by Neal Cook making the Mill Pond and in turn flooded the two ponds upstream, making the lake which was named Barlow Lake. The Barlows also built the house on the east side of the old mill near the Mill Pond. It was there in that house that court was held and legal matters taken care of. The house is now owned and is being restored by Richard (Sandie) O’Dells. Arounc 1854 the sawmill changed hands again, when Timoth and Franklin Miles bought it. More and more people were coming to the area and lumber was in great demand for their homes. Miles wanted to increase his production so he ordered some new equipment from New York State. His new “Muley Saw Mill” was delivered by ox team. He could now saw 7,000 feet of lumber a day. O. C. Bates owned the saw mill for about 1 years before selling to the Bowens. History does not reveal any details of his ownership. The Edwin H. Bowen s moved to Yankee Springs from Ohio in 1864 and acquired the sawmill. Bowen and his son William soon added a grist mill with three levels to the operation. The mill was 24 x 48’ and housed 2 sets of French Burr Stones. The Mill and surrounding area soon became known as “Bowens Mills.’ Before it was always known as Gun Lake, Michigan. E. H. Bowen was made Postmaster and the mail was kept in a large basket in the family home, where the farmers from the surrounding country would call as often as twice a week for their letters. The mail was carried by stagecoach from Kalamazoo to Grand Rapids, someone meeting the coach at Wayland to carry the mail to Gun Lake. Later a wooden letter holder was made and put in the Mill’s office. It is still there. In the early 1870’s, rumors were flying around about the railroad coming through Bowens Mills, going from Grand Rapids to Battle Creek. When it did, it would mean all the more people would be set­ tling along its path. In that case, the Mill wouldn’t be large enough to handle all the needs. Mr. Bowen wanted to be ready for it, so the roof of the mill was taken off and a fourth level was added. When the railway did come, it followed the Thornapple River and never did come to Bowens Mills. About this same time William Bowen was courting Adeline Richards. They were married on December 31, 1874, and built the house across the road from his parents (the old Saw Millers house). This house has been owned by various people over the years, but was obtained in 1984 by Neal and Marion Cook and once again added to the Mill property. About the turn of the century disaster struck the mill several times. The sawmill had previously been converted from water power to the newest source of power of the time — “steam’’. Two of the mill workers had fired up the old stationary engine and were waiting to get a full head of steam. The safety valve stuck. Soon there was a big explosion and they both were killed. Not long after that the old wood duto-Ouners Insurance Life. Home. Car. Business. One name says it all. Nero stroked his violin while Rome burned. Hardly a proper response to other people’s trouble.

(Now Bowens Mills). �Ita5unandfttwi Bowens Mill Ml i Jum27,1985/PlflT 1985 dam went out, taking with it the penstock and causing massive destruction. The sawmill was washed away along with a portion of the wall of the lower level of the grist mill. It is hard to imagine the extent of the damage, even as one views the old photos taken shortly after it happened. In 1902 Mr. Bowen purchased a huge ‘Albright' Cider press from Burdette Briggs. A room 18x24 was added on the side of the mill to house it. The Bowens sold out to a Mr. Lanson Kieney in 1912 and Mark and Mary Richie bought the proper­ ty about a year later, owning it until 1922, when Elam and Minnie (Norris) Springer purchased it. During most of the 37 years that the Springers owned the mill it was a hub of activity. Grinding four and grist, making cider and vinegar and also being used as a pickle weighing station. The Springers even had a little store and gas pump. Bowens Mills had become famous for its buck­ wheat flour and old timers tell of how in the fall, the horses and wagons were backed all through town with their loads of apples - waiting their turn at the dder press. In the winter of 1943 disaster struck again. Muskrats had been digging around the dam which weaked the wall and suddenly, one cold winter night, it gave way. The penstock was destroyed and almost all of the stone wall of the lower level was washed downstream. The mill was left teetering on the two short foundation walls which were still in­ tact. Most of the contents of the basement were never found. What a heartache this must have been for Mr. Springer, who was 71 years of age at the time. Once again, old photos reveal what an awesome job the repairs would entail. However. Mr. Springer went right to work on it, and by fall had the old mill all patched up again. Business was slow, all the surrounding com­ munities had built up mills and kept them updated with the latest and fastest equipment. With the modern means of transportation, many farmers preferred to go where they could to their milling and their shopping as well in one trip. In 1953 the mill ceased to operate as a business after approximately 113 years of continual service to the people of Barry County. Aound 1955 the mill was sold to Neal and Helen Engel. Their primary use of it was to use its proper­ ty to raise pickles on its acreage, doing so for about four seasons. When it became harvest time, the Engles hired migrant workers to help and the old mill became home to as many as 30 Mexicans for several weeks each year. They brought their own cots, stove, tables and chairs and used the pond for bathing. They loved the old mill and were happy there. The sounds of their guitars and singing could be heard far into the night. The Engels also made cider a couple of times soon after they bought the Mill. They belted up the old press to a tractor. Over the years the power source "In winter of 1943 the dam gave way....the mill was left teetering on the two short foundation walls... ” had been converted from water to steam to an old one-lunger' gasoline engine. Four families bought the mill from the Engles in 1971. They were Gordon and Willonore Fuhr. Dick and Martha Shaw, Bill and Beverly Slade and Carolin arid David Dimmers. They replaced the windows and doors vandals had destroyed and did a basic clean-up job. In 1972 the state erected a marker naming Bowens Mills a “Michigan Historical Site". It was opened for tours several times over the 7 years of their ownership. In the fall of 1978 Neal and Marion Cook bought the mill and took on the restoration project. As the saying goes, “the worse use is no use". The mill had set more or less idle for over 30 years, the water power and grindstones had not been used for nearly 40 years, some of the foundations were crumbling, various timbers were decaying and time had taken its toll. All four levels of the mill have been restored. The old mill is now a living museum dedicated to the early pioneers of Barry County and their ingenuity. The main floor is open to the public every Saturday, June through October. The third Saturday of each month is a special day, knwon as Old Fashion Day. On that day, the mill and its grounds come alive as the past lives again. Old time demos, civil war cam­ ps, folk music, arts and crafts and a flea market are just a sampling of the exciting things that are hap­ pening on that day. In the lower level there is the power section along with a blacksmith shop and water powered machine shop. This area is open on all old fashiou days. The main floor is open to the public every Saturday throughout the summer and fall and is a musium to artifacts from the 1800’ and houses the grist and cider mills. Folks are amazed to see the water rush through the massive turbine and the grindstones slowly turning. Golden kernels of corn are transfor­ med into fresh cornmeal, which is for sale. Every Saturday morning inDctober the huge old cider press is put into action and bushels and bushels of apples become gallons and gallons of cider in just moments. For this month only, the mill is also open on weekday afternoons for color tours and cider sales. The former grain storage and workshop on the third level have been transformed from a rustic sprawling area to a cozy home. Many of the old beams have been left exposed, which adds a han­ dsome richness throughout the living quarters. Hand stencilled walls, a wood stove and grain elevator shafts add to the quaintness. “Open House" is held on the August Old Fashion Day each year and costumed guides are helpful as the public comes to visit this area and help celebrate the an­ niversary of the Cook’s ownership. The fourth level is a re-creation of the old workshop along with an art gallery. Many of,the huge gears and much of the ancient machinery still remain intact and can be seen when this floor is open for tours in September. A spinning and weaving loft is in the future plans for this area. In the old days, a trip to the mill was a big event. 1 gave the folks a chance to meet friends they hadn’t seen for a long time and to catch up on all the latest ness as they waited for their turn to come up.

Checks can be picked up from your secretary at the Middle Villa Lanes Friday, June 28. from 6 until REPORT The June meeting of the Middleville Jaycees 8 p.m. David Hair featured reports on recent projects and upcoming Association Secretary events. The “biggest ever” garage sale, held during the June 14-15 weekend, attracted hundreds of bargain hunters and raised a whopping sum of over $3,000. The money will be divided between the Christian Learning Center of Grand Rapids and the Jaycees’ Community Service Fund, winding up a project that was both a successful fund raiser and a gold mine for garage sale groupies. The Jaycees would like to extend a heartfelt thanks to the following contributors: The Village Hall, Gail Williams, Sav-Mor, Erb Lumber, and Ray VanderWal for the Christian Learning Center. Due to the tremendous succ ess of the sale, the Jaycees are considering organizing another big one for early autumn. The next Jaycee activity is a real “hot” one. You’ll be “cooking with gas’’ when you invest a dollar per ticket for the annual Jaycee gas grill raf­ fle. This year 's deluxe double burner is a prize sure to keep the neighborhood gourmets’ noses tilted in the direction of your back yard all summer long.

Col. Gerald L. Hough, department director, ex­ plained that there will be no grace period. Hough stressed that the law requires all drivers and front seat passengers to wear a properly ad­ justed safety belt unless they or the vehicle are exempt. Exemptions include: vehicles manufac­ tured before 1965; buses; mopeds; motorcycles; physical/medical exemptions; commercial vehicles/U.S.Postal Service; rural postal carriers; school bus passengers; and vehicles not required to have safety belts under federal law. Those who are physically exempt must have in their possession written verification from a physician that they are unable to wear a safety belt for physical or medical reasons. Non-residents are not exempt — they must com­ ply with Michigan law when in Michigan. If safety belts have been removed from a vehicle required to have them, they must be reinstalled. Motorists will not be stopped for seat belt violations, but will be cited if they are stopped for other reasons and are not wearing seat belts. Until January 1,1986, the violation carries a penalty of a civil fine up to 810 plus court costs and judgement Middleville Boy Scouts Troop 105 News Boy Scout Troop 105 has a busy summer planned. Last week eight boys and Scoutmaster Chuck Baughman spent five days at a Merit Badge camp put on by Troop 50 at Delton, where intensive ineruction was given in various areas. Boys attending and items earned were: Chris Barton, Family iving and Communication Skill award, Camping, Mam­ mals, Motorboats and Plumbing merit badges; Chip Baughman, Communication, Fishing, Motorboat and Plumbing merit badges; Bryan Brant, Camping Merit badge, Plumbing merit badge and Tote n Chip; Fred Fox, Camping and Plumbing merit badge and Communication Skill award; Phil Laurence, Communication Skill Award, Farm Mechanics, Camping and Plumbing Merit badges; Jason Rogers, Communication Skill Award, Cam­ ping and Plumbing merit badges; Khris Twigg, Camping, Family Living, First Aid and Hiking Skill Award, Fishing and Plumbing Merit Badges and Tot ’n Chip; Glenn Woodard, Communication, Mammals, Motorboating and Plumbing. This week several of the boys will be working as program aides and Den Chiefs at Cub Scout Day Camp. On Sunday, nine boys are going to Camp Gerber, just north of Muskegon, for a week of fun and more merit badges. The big trip of the summer, the visit to the National Jamboree, takes place July 22 through August 2. The troop will be traveling with Troop 50 of Delton. 22 people are going, about half from each troop. The boys and leaders would like to thank the community for allowing them to raise over $1600 to pay for this trip. Middleville Lions, Jaycees, V.F.W. Post 7548, Bradford White and the Methodist Mens Club have made contributions; however, the boys themselves earned about $1200 with popcorn sales, concession stands and the spaghetti dinner. Everyone who is going on the trip has earned even his spending money with a lot of hard work. The boys will have a report when they get back in August. fees. After that period, the fine will increase to 125. No points will appear on the person’s driving record. Drivers are responsible for themselves and front •eat passengers under the age of 16.

Katie and Ed Wieringa, while their mom and dad, Annmarie and Roger, are on vacation at Lake Tahoe Rose Caton had a few friends over for coffee and cake for her friend Vera Robbins’ birthday. Vera lives at Lincoln Meadow Diane Hoskins and daughter Danielle enjoyed going to the circus Saturday. Danielle looked at all the animals there, but her favorites were the baby elephants. She also had her first pony ride, which she really liked, and went out to lunch with her dad. • Sometimes I should try more than once to get you neighbors on the phone. I know. Laziness, however, prevails often. But I was happy to catch Cindy Thaler in the bouse thisweek, because she had lots of activity over the weekend. Her mom, Doris Green of Dowagiac, came up on Saturday to attend her 25-year class reunion, and her dad came up on Sunday. Other Sunday guests were Georgia and Steven Kaecbele of Lansing, and Aunt Mary Maichele of Toledo. Also spending time with the Thalers this week will be Cindy's sister and husband, Mark and Marie Barnes of Portage, while they all attend the Bill Gauthier seminars in Grand Rapids. Ward and Jessie Bender, also Fred and Letha Buckingham were among those attending the 50th Anniversary open house of Russell and Alice Bender Sunday afternoon. Virgil and Myrtle Adams were there too, as well as Clifford and Jennie Davis from the Clark Home. Katie Hunt and her mom planned on spending a couple of days at Ferris State College this week while Katie goes through orientation before entering Ferris in the fall. This weekend, Mrs. Hunt with daughter Jamie, Ann Hannapel with daughter Heather.

He’s since spent time with Au nt Francy and Uncle Dann Tobin, with Jeff Thompson, the weekend with gran­ dpa and grandma I dema. and with the Dave Enders family (a couple more stops to go before his two weeks are up!). I think he’s having a good time, to say the least. Friday night supper guests at the Dave Enders home were Roger and Patty (Kermeen) Heldt and their children. Daniel and Maureen, all of Grand Rapids. Judy Harrison has punched out of her school of­ fice job for a couple of months and is working at cat­ ching up on all the things at home that one lets go when they know time off is coming. She was also getting some things ready to put with her mom’s garage sale this weekend. Mike Bremer took son Brett and nephews Brad and Brian Enders to the circus Saturday afternoon. Sounds like everyone had a good time. Our brother and wife. Corky and Jeanette Ruiter of Koontz Lake. Indiana, were Saturday overnight guests of Fritz and Alice Steiner. Saturday night Tom and I joined them to travel to Holland where a cousin's reunion was held. This was a first, and many folks who have been only names to me for lots of years are now real people. There's never enough time to get done visiting at a time like that, but it should last a little while. An added bonus was to be able to visit with our three remaining aunts, plus en­ joy a delicious meal served in one of the dining room at Hope College. Sunday dinner guests at the Fred Steiner home were Trudy and Harley Truax of Wayland. Corky and Jeanette Ruiter of Indiana. Tom and I. A good ‘warm-up’ for reunion. There won’t be a Sun and News next week, so save up all your goodies until we check in with you again.

The 14th annual Antique Gas & Stem Engine show illuminates the impact of the mechanical revolution of the 19th century on rural America, that propelled this country into unrivaled productivity. All this excitement takes place Saturday and Sunday, July 13-14, 1985 at Charlton Park in Hastings. Hundreds of antique tractors will parade around the village green and stationary steam and gas engines will furnish power to operate a drag saw, burr mill, thrasher, buzz rig, and washing machines. Following the parade, old tractors will perform a series of competitive events. Hand crank tractors will compete against the clock to determine which tractor will start the quickest. During the slow race, tractors will compete to determine which machine can deliver power at the slowest possible speed. Ad­ ditional events include a Pedal Pull, Wheat Thrashing and Backing Competition. The show will run continuously from 10:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. both days. A highlight of the show is the 15 horsepower Westinghouse Steam Traction engine with a ver­ tical boiler built in the late 1800’s. The engine was owned by Park founder, Irving Charlton, and is one of three built in the country, and the only one known to be restored and running. Along with this event, there will be a Flea Market, primitive camping and food available. Charlton Park not only has this outstanding show, but a museum, a 16-building restored turn of the century village staffed with demonstrators, and an outstanding recreation area for swimming, boating and picnicing. Admission is $3.00 for adults, 16 and over. Children are admitted free if ac­ companied by an adult. This event is sponsored by Charlton Park and the Barry County Gas & Steam Engine Club. another. Not for some time. But hold on folks and stay with us. We are never sure what might be our next big project and you could be a winner then. Remember we have tried floats for the parade for you to enjoy also. If God gives us all the strength for some time yet. we will be pulling in there, and hopefully you will share it with us. Our many thanks to Caledonia Jaycees for put­ ting in a lot of hard work for this big celebration, along with the beautiful day that was given to us. And a big thank you to Jerry and Theresa Durkee. • and Dr. Douglas Atkinson. All was much ap­ preciated by us. When dusk came on, and to end our Celebration Day. there was the big array of fireworks in the sky. Keep up the good work, folks of the Jaycees of Caledonia. LETTERS Letter to the Editor: The Caledonia Jaycees had two nice write-ups in two consecutive weeks advertising in the Sun and News. A very important item was missing. They left out the fact that any handicapped person would not be admitted to the park hill entrance without a han­ dicap sticker on their car. Our son Jim. who has had A.L.S. for 8 years and is unable to walk to the park, was refused entrance twice, very rudely by the renta-cop at the park entrance, while at the same time he let others that I talked to go down to the park with their cars. When I walked up from the park there were a few parking spaces available. He told my family I called him every name in the book which I did not do. I made only one remark, which I felt he had coming by his rudeness. I could have said much more. This is the second year in a row that a similar problem has happened. The senior citizens and the handicapped must be given more consideration. Jaycees, if you can’t come up with a better solution, you will find no one supporting your efforts in time, now matter how great you think you might be doing.

From the fa ces I saw, almost eve ryone was enjoying them selves, the exceptions being the youngsters who were missing their naps. I missed the parade this year because I was at the park helping the Caledonia Community Ed’s gymnastics get started. Amazing how even the littlest ones can make it look easy. And all of the youngsters are im­ proving so much. Grandpa Soest and Rich enjoyed the tractor pulls Mortgage Protection Insurance? One name says it best.

One name says it all. and c ame back telling abou t how well the little kids did in the “Puff the Dragon Pedal Pull.” Joel Freeman is still proudly showing everyone the rib­ bon he won. And Robby Thompson had to show us what he had won. Sb I think that event was well liked by both the yoixig and old. The helicopter rides were another winner. Debbie Soest wonher ride and talked Grandma Soest and Shirley into joining her. While waiting our turn to go we watched toddlers and grandparents alike go, and every age in bet­ ween. Did Debbie like her ride? “I found our house, mom.” Shirley had her eyes closed, I think. But all of them are ready to go again. Every time I went past the stage there was a crowd standing and watching. I watched a couple of minutes of square dancing and of the kids from the dance center. They sure had pretty outfits on. But I missed a lot of what went on there. I understand that Faye Freeman and Don Wicks did a good job and even got Donna Westbrook to help them sing, wheelchair and all. Of course, she was joined by Diane Gilbert and Barb Freeman. Who won the quilt that the Greater Caledonia Senior Citizens made and raffled off? Tressa Noffke. Congratulations! I understand that the Holy Family baseball team won their game. too. In all, I think it was a good fun day Saturday. June 29, finished off by a beautiful fireworks display. The Richard Soest family spent the 4th of July with George and Ginnie at Woodbeck Lake. It was a beautiful day and the girls practiced what they had learned from their swimming lessons. On our way home we came through Lowell missed the fireworks but not the crowd. Saturday, July 6, we again joined George and Ginnie at the lake. Much different day, cold and windy. Deb and Shirley tried to fish and finally caught a couple. Deb’s was a 9 inch small mouth bass, and Shirley a rock bass.

Donne Kenyon, Twp. Clerk Thomas reunion in Kenosha, Wisconsin, over the weekend. I had the nicest visit with Mr. Koeplinger. They are the couple who have so much fun on their motor­ cycle. Last week they covered about 1500 miles. They went up to the Soo and other places. Said they found the worst traffic around Traverse City. When he answered the phone they had just gotten home from a trip to Plainwell and Allegan. I sure enjoyed visiting with him. He said they have these trips they take by joining the organization. They stop at various cities, hunting for towns listed in the Rand McNally atlas. They take pictures either at the town's post office or village limit signs, with their bike in front of them to prove they were there. Some have to be done in a certain time limit. He said that next year they are joining one called Four Corners. They have to cover the supposedly four corners of the U.S. in 21 days • from Main to Florida, from the tip of California to the tip of Washington State. They’ve been working on The Great American PigOut now. which one where they spell out the name of the organization by visiting restaurants in villages, either having a receipt from the restaurant or taking a picture of their bike in front of it. Then they send in their proof to the organization and receive a pin or trophy. They have to visit the restaurant in the capitol or county seat. That’s why they went to Allegan Sunday. This is why I love to get the news. I learn so many things I never knew about through you folks sharing your lives with me. Did you folks ever hear about this kind of thing for motorcycle families? I never had. Sure gives you a different picture of motorcycle families than the TV and movie slant. They seem to have a real good time, see all the country, but at the same time show us what a fun time a family can have on a bike. On this last trip they covered 1500 miles and spent S42 for gas. You certainly couldn’t go that far on 142 with a car. On the 4th, Chuck and Dorothy Corson went to their cousin's in Grand Rapids to watch the fireworks at Reeds Lake. In talking with Doris Brog, I found out that Hazel VandenBerg died last week. I hadn’t realized that she was even sick. Remember she and her husband Van had the hardware store in Middleville for years. Their son Ron and wife are the only survivors. They moved to the Grand Rapids area after Van's death. The last I had visited with Hazel she had an apar­ tment and was working at Sarrets. But Doris said she hadn’t been working for some time, but had been ill with cancer. Ace Abbott bought a raffle ticket and won a porch swing for Margaret. Barb and Greta Greiner, Barb and Annette Clin­ ton went on a trip up north from Wednesday to Saturday. They stopped at Petoskey and watched the fireworks from a boat on the 4th. The Bill Chambers had just gotten back from a trip seeing son John and wife Sue in Bloomington, Ill. They also stopped at New Salem, where Lincoln practiced law. They also stopped in Springfield, Ill. to see an aunt that Bill hadn’t seen for 30 years. They also ‘vacationed’ in Chicago, visiting the museum, planetarium, aquarium, etc. They had beautiful weather during the day but rain at night. Kathy Budd is home for a vacation but will head back east next week end. They took a trip north to the Soo, Tahquemanon Falls, Copper Harbor, etc. Good weather and wonderful trip. Gene Sprenkle left for Florida Sunday morning, stopping in Chicago to see son Steve in Chicago. They heard from their middle son in Hawaii while he was home. Pat Tolan said the Tolan family got together at the grandparents, Bob and Mary Tolan, over the 4th, which i s one o f the family *s big gatherings of the year.

Z------------------------------------------------------------ X LANSING DIARY by PAUL HILLEGONDS 54th DISTRICT STATE REPRESENTATIVE The past couple of weeks, my busiest ever in Lan­ sing, have served as reminders that you can t please everyone all of the time. As an active participant in negotiations over controversial taxation and workers' compensation questions, I am pleased that compromises could be reached in the House. But those compromise agreements involved some pain­ ful concessions as well as some positive gains. The Governor's t ax plan, as amended. After hours of testimony before the House Taxation Committee, other minority members and I in­ troduced several amendme nts to the Blanchard tax plan. In committee, we succeeded in stepping up the proposed income tax rollback from July 1, 1986 to May 15, 1986. At that t ime, the income t ax rate will return to 4.6%. On the House floor, a 69-32 majority accepted my amendment to halve the G ovemor’s plan to provide $150 million in property tax credits. Instead, under my proposal, the personal income tax exemption will be increased from $1500 to $1700 — providing nearly $75 million of new income tax relief each year. Another $75 million will be returned mainly to low and middle income property taxpayers whose property tax bill s are high compared to their income Finally, minority members successfully exempted agricultural transactions from the Governor’s proposed tax increase on capital gains. With these changes, decided that the Governor's tax relief bill deserved support. At the same time, I felt that the projected budget surplus alone would not make up for the $150 million of annual tax relief proposed, in addition to the early income tax rollback. For this reason I sup­ ported measures to impose the state sales tax on computer software and rais ed the intangibles tax on deposits paid by financial institutions, from 20e to 40c per $1,000 of deposits. Combined with the capital gains hike, these tax increas es will total roughly $90 million annually. In short, I decided to support general tax relief in a way that would keep the state budget balanced — and concluded that baking i nstitut ions would not suffer unduly from the added taxes, especially when compared to other states or other Michigan businesses. A majority of the House decided to go one step further, however, by also imposing a 2% to 3% premium tax on Michigan-based insurance com­ panies. Presently, out-of-state insurers pay a similar premium tax. While I feel that domestic life in­ surance companies could shoulder the premium tax, casualty companies can ill afford this extra burden at a time when the state's essential insurance regulatory policies are causing auto insurers to take 0 their business elsewhere. The premium tax hikes p total $45 million annually. The Blanchard proposal, as modified by the 4 House, now awaits Senate review and action. Cer­ tainly changes in the plan will be made by the Senate, with final action expected this fall. I hope that the compromise process will continue so that Michigan taxpayers will be able to enjoy state tax relief next year.

PLANNING A GARAGE SALE? BE SURE TO ADVERTISE IT IN THE SUN & NEWS! The dust has settled (well, almost) on the Prairie and the family reunion is history for another year. We likened it to the so-called “Polish Wedding” because it lasted for five days! It was a double ex­ posure for us, as ten of Tom’s family were a part of the group, as well as an old friend and his wife. The sheets are almost all washed, and the borrowed towels returned to their proper place it’s one thing to have 40 people sleeping in and around your house, but it’s something else when everyone wants to shower in the morning! We had representatives from nine states, so figure we covered the country pretty well. (The “we" here is both the Fred Steiner and Tom Bremer families). After a few more weeks, we’ll be looking forward to next year I'm sure. Our sister, Jean Brackenbury of Arizona, stayed at the Steiner home until Friday, giving us added time to visit and opportunity for her to visit with our brother-in-law, John Zaboly, at the Medical Care Facility in Hastings.

It was a rather bittersweet time for lots of us Prairie neighbors as we attended the Davis auction on Saturday. The hard realities of the facts of life were softened somewhat to know that many of us who regard Clifford and Jennie as friends will now have something concrete to remind us of them. I was happy to purchase some of Jennie’s pressed flower pictures, for I always admired them. VANCE. Diane and Danielle Hoskins were at his parents for a Fourth of July picnic and another celebration for Danielle's 2nd birthday. The Van Rhees. Worths and DeWents were among those attending a Fourth of July neighbor gathering at Harwood Lake. Kay Link went to the Bowens Mill "America For Jesus'* concert at Bowens Mill on the Fourth, and to a family gathering last week. The Wes VanRhee's hosted a reunion of Janette's family on Saturday with 35 attending. Family members came from New York, Ohio. Ann Arbor, and Owosso. Katy Bremer. Brett and Kelly left Monday mor­ ning, July 1, to spend two weeks with her sister Jennifer and husband in Minneapolis. The Dave Enders family were in Grand Rapids last Wednesday night to watch Grandpa Enders, Uncle Bob and cousins from Florida take off in a hot air balloon, along with 20 other balloons. Quite a sight. Letha Buckingham said they had done a little fishing, but in this weather are mostly just "sitting very still.” Very soon more produce will be ready in the garden and it will be up-and-at-em time again. Helen Wenger reports that daughter Christina and family, the Ed Gibsons, have moved to their new home in Woodbridge, Virginia. Even though all but one of the family are married, it 's a big miss for the first one to move ‘far away.’ Somehow, gran­ dparents adjust, and the phone bills get bigger. Ruth Klump is glad to be back home and on her own again. She's had lots of callers and is grateful to them all for helping to while away her ‘inactive* time. A recent lunch guest of Walter and Lois Bender was Virginia Scott of Kalamazoo. Virginia and Lois were room mates in Plainwell many years ago*. Lois also was reminded that it s a small world when she related that Virginia was a teacher in Holland, MI and had Edna (Helmink) Bender in the second grade! Walter and Lois had dinner out Sunday with Ward and Jessie Bender. Kay Talsma, formerly of the Prairie and now of Jacksonville, Fla., called on old neighbor, Myrtle Adams, when she was in the area recently. The Phil Bender family joined her sister and husband, Judy and Bill Seeley of Grand Rapids, for a trip through the Ford Museum on the Fourth. Sunday afternoon visitors of the Benders were her folks, Harold and Jean Terpstra. We had a rather quiet Fourth of July — we were ready! A visit at Butterworth and a hot dog roast with the Steiners, sister Jean and some of our kids was enough to fill the day. First time I tried to wat­ ch fireworks on TV, but they fell far short of the real thing. Pat and Judy Harrison celebrated their 20th an­ niversary on July 3 by getting the supplies and building a nice big planter in the back yard. Some of the family enjoyed Art in The Park at Lake O on Saturday. Dave and Colleen Bremer, Zak and Kara spent the weekend with us while he helped brother Mike with some work on the house. The Enders, Tobins and Tom Bremers joined us for Sunday dinner.

Lars and his sister Lena, who was here for one semester in 1982, have both been a part of the Ed Passenger family in Caledonia. The families originally became acquainted when Lars and Lena’s mother, Karin, was an exchange guest as part of Rotary International in Ithaca, Michigan, in the summer of 1958. The two families remained in contact over the years, have visited in each other’s homes, and led to the exchange student arrangement with Lars for this year. After nearly a year here, Lars will be returning to Sweden on July 13. Many of his friends attended a Farewell Open House in his honor on Sunday, July 7. During his year as a student at Caledonia High School, he became an active part of the Fighting Scots athletic program, starting the season as a part of the cross country team, then switching to football where he became an outstanding kicker. For the winter season he tried his hand at wrestling, though an injury at the outset of his first match necessitated surgery and put an early end to his Fighting Scots wrestling career. On the tennis team, he played both second doubles and then first doubles. One of his favorite classes at C.H.S. was the wood shop class, with Ron Hulst as instructor. For a Christmas gift he designed and made a round oak table for his host family as a part of the class, an example of his outstanding enjoyment and ability in wood working. After making so many special friends during his stay in Caledonia, parting becomes difficult, for friendships are special, and are a major part of the purpose of any exchange student arrangement Friends who desire to write to him may do so: Lars Havstam Korvagen 3 43700 Lindome Sweden In the TK Library’s last column that appeared a few weeks ago, the new books that were arriving were mentioned.

Death in Berlin is similar to M.M.Kaye’s other mystery/romance novels in interesting settings. William X. Kienzle also has produced another mystery about murder in the world of pro football. The South African Quirt is about a boy’s rite of passage as he battles his despotic father. The author, Walter D. Edmonds, has written many historical fiction titles.

Maicheles Receive Centennial Farm Sign Simon and Frances Maichele, 5654 Patterson Ave., Middleville, received their sign last week that officially designates their farm as a Centennial Farm of Michigan. A centennial farm is one which has been in continuous possession of the same family for 100 years or more. The Maichele farm was established in 1885 by Somon i grandfather, Christian Maichele, but who died a year later, leaving his wife Raechele with four children, the oldest being 9 years of age. Of these four children, one survives. Chris Maichele was born on the farm and will be 100 years old later this year. The other three children were Sarah. Fred and Simon. Simon, the father of the present owner of the farm, was bom in 1880 and died in 1952 Christian Maichele came to the Leighton area from Germany and settled that rich farmland along with the Finkbeiners.

LETTERS \___________________________________________________ ✓ Thank You Gavin Chevrolet I would like to show my appreciation to one of our businesses in town. I have been having trouble with my 1982 truck since last fall. I brought it in to DeNooyer Chevrolet of Holland two times in the last six months. Both times they kept my truck for four weeks, charged me close to S200 and still it was not fixed. Both times they had my truck, they would not give me a loaner car. so I was without a vehicle for two of the last six months. After this, I decided to give Gavin Chevrolet of Middleville a try because I now work in Middleville. What a refreshing change! I brought my truck in at 9 a.m. They offered to drive me to my place of business and then delivered the truck back to me before 5 p.m. The truck is finally fixed. Thank you, Middleville, and especially Gavin Chevrolet for a job well done.

Thought you folks might be interested because you who knew Ardyth know howcreative she was, and might like to buy something of hers. Then we got to talking because she and her sisters were my youngsters’ age and I wondered what had happened to all of them. Pam married Doug Cook and they have two children, Amy and Travis. They’ve sold their home in Dutton and are looking to build. Carol married Sam Ayers. They live in Ir­ ving and have two children, Chris and Mandy. Carol works at Piston Ring and Sam at Whites. Judy married Jerry Jackiewicz. They have three children, Julia, Patrie and Valerie. Valerie married George Ruffner and they have one son Benjamin. Son Patrick has been attending Kent Skills Center this summer. Valerie, Judy says, is the athlete of the family. She played girls softball this summer. Judy, Jerry and family live on Whitmore Road. Some of you folks may have remembered Ar­ dyth's brother. Nelson Kingsley. He and his wife Margaret just had their first grandchild. Ardyth's mom is doing well now and lives in Kentwood. I can just hear some of you saying ‘Where the heck has Norma been all this time. We know all that! But I'm sorry I didn’t know any of that and am alwavs glad to find out about our local youngsters, now adults. So please be patient with me while I learn more.

We saw the summer' flowers in bloom, and were told that the beds will be replanted with fall varieties and again with bulbs for spring beauty.

LETTERS Dear Editor: Having just gone through six months of exasperation with a new Maytag washer which was spinning muddy water back into washed clothes (wash and rince cycles do not drain water first but spin with a full tub of water), I would like to hear from any other Maytag owner who has had any type of problem with their machine. Maytags are the most expensive washer on the market and rated No. 1 in Consumers Report, but fall far short of their rating. I am compiling a letter to send to the Maytag Company and to Consumer’ll Report listing owner’s complaints. So all you gala out there with any complaints: torn blouse sleeves (they catch under the agitator “wings"), hard water deposits spun into dark polyesters during the rinse cycle, stripped off agitator from washing jeans, stripped setting dial with average use, etc., please voice your complaints. Any and all complaints will be included in my survey report. Thank you! Donna Anderson 795-7381 �Tto Sw * I J«t» 25.1985) Pigt > *w«.

The one-room Lake Road and north of Parmelee Road on Orange school house contained students from kindergarten Thomas' land. The picture shown here was taken through the eighth grade. Some of the students did not go any farther than eighth grade, but others went on to high school at Caledonia. Some had to work at home on the family farms. School started at 9:00 with the ring of the bell. Boys and girls had separate rooms for their coats and lunches which were brought by everyone (and put under the stove in the winter time). Throughout the day they had 15-mirfute recesses. A greater per­ centage of the kids had 30 minutes of oral arith­ metic. Later in the day they had to take time for a little geography, and occasionally they would have "spelling bees and citydowns.'' The girls sat on one side of the building and the boys on the other, with the teacher’s desk in the middle. Outhouses for boys and girls were ‘out back.' At certain times of the year they would have special celebrations. Some of the girls in the Maypole picture here are Orphy Bechtel. Menetta Bechtel, Mildred Schnurr, Anna Johnston.

PLANNING A GARAGE SALE? BE SURE TO ADVERTISE IT IN THE SUN & NEWS! �Th. Sun md Newt. M«Mn*. Ml I July 25,1985/Pm 5 Page’s Resort in Operation 35 Years Page's Resort on Gun Lake celebrated its 35th anniversary as a business on June 9, 1985. From the best knowledge available, this is exceeded only by Joe’s Grocery; and they had a few years' break when the business was sold several years ago. Glen and Ester Page, their son Jerry and his wife Lois, purchased the old Streeter *s Resort from Keith and Jane Daniels. The sale was finalized in the law offices of Dean and Siegel in Hastings June 9,1950. Raymond Page, another son. bought into the business in 1954. In 1959, Glen and Ester retired and sold their shares. In 1960, Ray was married and his wife Marilyn became a part of the business, which at that time consisted of six cottages, ten trailer spots, thirty-two rental boats, four motors, a •tore and a snack shack. During the thirty-five years of operation, some of the changes in the business were: 1) From 1953-57 the business had a dealership for Starcraft boats and Evinrude motors, 2) In 1951, the Snack Shack was moved, and the first miniature golf course on Gun Lake was built. 3) Starting in 1951, the partnership operated the concession in Yankee Springs State Park. Pages operated the concession for 29 years with their last year of operation being 1983. 4) In 1961 additional land was purchased from Calvin Streeter. A modern trailer park to accom­ modate 43 trailers was constructed. 5) In 1973 some of the old cottages were taken down and a new four-unit apartment building was constructed Since 1950, the character of Gun Lake has changed from a summer resort to a year-around residential population. At one point. Page's were one of eleven gas stations on the lake; now they are one of two. They still rent boats, motors, and run the store. Jerry's and Ray’s children have played a prominent role in the operation of the resort of the last thirty-five years. Jerry and Lois’ children. Terry, Randi. Vicki, Tom, Karen and Steve, now scattered to all parts of the country, all worked at the resort and helped put themselves through college. Ray and Marilyn’s children. Deb, Scott, Brenda and Jeff, are all still active and working at the resort this summer. One thing that Page’s Resort has always been famous for is their ice cream cones dipped the oldfashioned way. ^uhm^rincs '’Italian Specialties 120 '’E.‘Alain Street idilleville,'*M i.

Our host carved out a pair of wooden shoes in just three minutes using poplar wood and a lathe. We wandered through the shop looking at the many types of wooden shoes, many of which are exported to the local community ‘ of Holland. MI for their celebrations during the Tulip Festival. After a short drive from the wooden shoe factory along canals and narrow streets, we stopped at a local cheese farm, owned and operated by the same family for over 150 years. Again, we were given a tour and explanation of the fine art of making Gouda Cheese, for which Holland is famous. Many from our group purchased cheese after sampling the different selections provided. Cheese was a good buy in Holland. We said farewell to our cheese family, and moved into the busy city of Amsterdam. Near the famous Rijksmuseum. famous for its fine masterpieces by Rembrandt and other Dutch painters, was our hotel, appropriately named the Museum Hotel. Supper was served in the hotel, and following a delicious meal. Sue, our courier, led us on a walk through the streets and canals of Amsterdam. She pointed out the unusual architecture with the narrow, long houses and the extended beams to •aise and lower furniture through the windows. The :anals and streets were difficult to navigate because nf the speeding cars and dog waste. Amsterdam was not as clean a city as many of us had expected it to be. A boat trip down the canals completed our first day in Europe. The long trip, the time change of 6 hours, and the cozy atmosphere of the enclosed all­ (glass boat was a bit more than many of us could fight off. More than one head nodded off from time to time. The return to our hotel woke us all up because it !started to rain, and we regretted that our umbrellas 1were still packed in our suitcases. The next morning, we were up and on our way by 8:30 a.m., visiting first a diamond factory, then the Rijksmuseum where we saw Rembrandt’s master­ piece “The Night Watch” and other famous pain­ tings. Leaving the city of Amsterdam, we drove to the j ]little Dutch fishing village of Volendam. Pic­ turesque and clean, this gave us more of the Dutch i impression that we were looking for. We had an op­ |1portunity to wander around and enjoy the little streets and shops. Sue, our courier, encouraged us to try some of the local specialty - fresh eel, but most of us passed on that. We left Volendam for free time in Amsterdam. Many of us waited in a long line to visit Anne Frank’s house. A feeling of sadness and depression gripped each one of us as we made our way up the very steep steps, through the secret passageway, ■ and saw the rooms where Anne and her family hid | out during the Nazi occupation. The diary was on display in a little museum adjacent to the house. We then walked to Dam Square, the central square of Amsterdam, where the best activity was to sit in an outdoor cafe with an ice cream sundae and watch all the people stroll by.

MacGregor enrolled in the four-day workshop to better assist customers with their livestock feeding and health needs. "Livestock production, like all other aspects of today’s farm industry, has become more complex.’’ MacGregor noted. "As a result, more and more producers a-e turning to their feed supplier for advice and information on new developments in nutrition and overall management. ” he added. “One way I can better meet local producers’ needs is to get additional training through courses like this one given by Purina’s Agri Business Institute, which is an educational arm of Purina.’’ he said. A group of livestock nutritionists and researchers conducted the intensive, four-day workshop. MacGregor explained. "And. since enrollment was limited to 28. we had many opportunities to ask these experts questions about the various Livestock management problems that concern our customers." he declared. “We also received sub­ stantial advice on feeding programs for swine, dairy and beef cattle, horses, pets and other small livestock.” he added. This included advice on tailoring feeding programs to livestock needs, and information on new feeding systems such as high energy hog rations and the Forage Balancer Brood Cow feeding system, he pointed out. Describing this training program. Dub Jones, president of Purina Mills, said "Through the Agri Business Institute, Bruce has learned the newest livestock management techniques that he needs to serve his local producers. With this knowledge, he and other farm consultants will be even better equipped to help their customers. Our goal.” Jone? declares, "is to continue to make our local dealer ships as knowledgeableas possible. ’ MacGregor says the workshop will further im prove the level of services he provides area farmer? and livestock producers. "I have even greater accee? now to the tremendous research at Checkerboard Square.” he says.

MiMmh. Ml I Mr 25,1985 ---- ------------------ —--------------------------------- s On Campus Prairie Sketches ^CAPITOL COLUMN with LOIS BREMER and JANETTE VAN RHEE by RICHARD POSTHUMUS X--------------------------------------------------------------------- > STATE SENATOR k------------------------------------ J A new Senate task force has a tall order reducing the viability of liability. The Senate Select Committee on Civil Justice Reform, of which I am a member, will not be spending their summer idly relaxing. Instead, we will tackle the escalating number of civil liability suits, concen­ trating on medical malpractice, bar owner liability and governmental immunity. By October 16, 1985. the committee plans to report its findings to the Senate, along with recommended legislative proposals, in the hope some action can be taken this fall. Medical malpractice rates have simply skyrocketed in recent years. Just five years ago. physicians were paying less than half of their current rates; and some were even paying one-third or one-quarter of their current premiums. It isn’t just the doctor’s problem, either. Higher rates are causing more and more specialists to go in­ to general practice, reducing access to those specialized services. Also, to protect themselves from possible legal action, doctors are ordering more tests for patients to "be on the safe side Unfor­ tunately being on the safe side also means being on the expensive side and many of these tests drive up the cost of health care for the patient, the patient’s insurance company, or both. Finally, as physicians are forced to pay higher premiums, those costs are passed on to the patient in the form of higher fees. Any attempt at reducing or containing health care costs must include some attention to rising medical malpractice premiums. I am charing the subcommittee looking at growing governmental liability, which may be a lees-familiar issue, but affects consumers just as much as malpractice. Not only have the number of lawsuits against state and local units increased dramatically, but the size of awards has also risen. For example, the Michigan Department of Tran­ sportation dealt with 212 lawsuits in 1978. paying out $1.4 million that year. By 1984. the number of cases brought against the department had grown to 439 and payouts totalled 811.3 million. And, these figures are for just one department. In total, the state faces 1,400 lawsuits potentially worth 82.4 billion. Bar owners are suffering from similar insurance hikes. Michigan's Dram Shop Act, which allows bar and restaurant owners to be sued for serving drinks to intoxicated customers, has resulted in multi­ million dollar awards. Those awards, in turn, have driven insurance rates from 81 per $100 worth of drinks sold, to an average $7 per $100 drinks sold. Legislation limiting the bar or restaurant owner’s liability has stalled in a House committee, so the Select Committee will be looking at alternative solutions to the problem. It is obviously time to take a look at what we can do to reduce unnecessary litigation while preserving protective measures for our citizens. It’s a big job; but, unless we come up with some answers, the problem will have a negative impact on our business climate and job market. With the high priority on this issue, though, expect some action — and some results — in the coming months.

The tour star­ ted at Jenison with the destination of South Bend for overnight on Saturday. The group went through Allegan. Paw Paw. made a stop at St. Julian Winery, then on to South Bend. They toured the Studebaker museum and mansion, went to Elkhart to view the Ray Miller car collection. On the way home they came through Watervliet and got in at the tail end of the Blueberry Festival in Niles (there they were videotaped by Channel 3 News and got to see themselves on the Sunday night news!). After a stop in Saugatuck for lunch and shopping, the group returned to the Grand Rapids area. Ward and Jessie Bender had dinner in Grand Rapids Sunday with Sue Dickerson. Dan Estes of Deerfield. Ill., was a guest of his grandparents, Fritz and Alice Steiner, last week, visiting cousins and going to the fair. His brother Mathew arrived on Thursday to spend a few days before going north with the family. The Steiners spent Sunday at Canadian Lakes with the Estes family. Ruth Klump went to Mabel and George Foote’s on Sunday afternoon where she made the acquain­ tance of her fourth great-grandchild, Timothy David Komarmy. Timothy's parents, Linda and Mitch, came from their home in Flushing to introduce their new son. Bob and Helen Wenger were Sunday dinner guests of his folks, Bea and Verne Wenger in Alto. Friday visitors of Fred and Letha Buckingham were Mr. and Mrs. marshall Collins and two grown daughters of Byron Center. On Sunday, Lyle and Barb Buckingham joined their parents for a fish dinner with lots of fresh vegetables. Sounds good. Kacy Weatherford of Wyoming (MI) spent the weekend with her grandparents, Virgil and Myrtle Adams. The Adams have made many trips to town this summer to see Kacy’s brother, Ty, in his little league ball games. Mike and Mary Dettmann, like many other paren­ ts, took daughter Marina to the fair on Saturday. On Sunday they were at her folks, the Bill Chambers, to watch movies. Mary said they were also among the guests at Geanie Wieringa’s wedding the week before. Gerrie Spencer spent Thursday taking grandson Mark back home to Fenton after a vacation here. She also enjoyed the fair one day last week with several grandchildren. Interesting things are going on at the Spencer acres as a road has recently been started to give access to the building plots that will be available soon. The Prairie is expanding. The Mike Bremer family were at the home of Susie and Roger Parsons in Ravenna Saturday evening for their annual cookout and get together. Earlier in the afternoon Kelly Bremer was a guest at Travis Wenger’s birthday ’pool party’ which I heard was great fun. Both Mike and Katy are teaching a Bible School class this week. The Dave Enders family were in Grand Rapids Sunday for their niece, Sarah Enders’ birthday par­ ty. Fritz and Alice Steiner spent a couple of days at the beginning of this week visiting our brother and wife. Corky and Jeanette Ruiter at Koontz Lake, Indiana. The Dave Enders family left last Saturday mor­ ning to spend a week camping at the State Park at Ludington. Dave’s folks, Harold and Dorothy En­ ders, spent from Tuesday to Saturday at the camp, and Tom and I were camped there from Wednesday until Sunday. It’s a fun way to camp where you can visit or not - share meals if you wish - and be as lazy or as ambitious as you choose. We were chagrined (and a little embarrassed) to find out that we were camped next to Middleville folks for nearly two days before we recognized each other! Mary and Charles Robertson and their girls were there with a couple other families for the week. Isn’t it amazing how we become less recognizable outside of our normal environment9 While up north*, we were glad to be able to visit with Mary Kay and Ralph Hendrick for a while on Saturday. If you’re passing through Scottville on Route 37, their antique shop is just a block north of the stop light at Route 10, and it is worth the visit. Looks as though Janette is on vacation this week she probably told me and I forgot. Save your news, folks. USE SUN & NEWS CLASSIFIEDS! Judith.

It’s difficult to make judgments on billions NEWS OF YOUR of dollars of appropriations and other major proposals when all of those issues are thrown on lawmakers’ desks within a matter of days and even LANSING DIARY hours. This year the major cause of the pre-recess scram­ ble was the build-up of tensions between a House and Senate controlled by different political parties — and a resulting breakdown of cooperation. Add to that problem a Governor who too often has been unwilling or unable to get involved in breaking the policy and political log jams, and you have the con­ fusion which forced the houses to meet beyond the traditional Fourth of July recess date As a member of the House-Senate Conference Committee appointed to resolve the differences over workers' compensation reform. I was forced to spend the few days before recess shuttling between the House and Senate chambers and the Governor’s office in search of a compromise. That prevented me from attending last-minute budget briefings given to the caucuses before voting on appropriation measures. I also ended up missing the floor debate and a few votes on budget bills. As a victim of the pre-summer rush, I again found myself wondering why it has to be this way. And yet, when considering the 110 representatives, 38 senators, and one Governor who reflect different egos, principles, philosophies, prejudices and political and regional loyalties, it’s sometimes sur­ prising that anything is accomplished. Budget-Busting. The 16.9 billion general fund budget for 1986-86 represents a 5.4%, $302 million increase over discretionary spending this year. The total budget, including federal funds and ear­ marked monies such as lottery dollars for education and gasoline tax funds for transportation, totals •13.9 billion. That’s a total in crease of SI billion and 8%. In February the Governor had announced a "zero growth’’ budget proposal. What happened? To begin with, the Governor had omitted key recom­ mendations from his initial budget such as prison construction monies. By the end of the budget process, Governor Blanchard had increased his spending targets by SI08 million. Meanwhile, House and Senate Appropriations Committee members had differ ent spending priorities. The House committee favored more social services spending and the Senate boosted aid to education. Those differences were generally reeolved by spending more on everything. By the time the electronic voting boards had dimmed, next year’s budget exceeded the Governor’s February “zero growth’’ plan by $212 million. The easy conclusion to draw is that if the money's available, the legislature will spend it. Yet, after five years of fiscal restraint required by a depressed economy and past debts due, some catch-up in ser­ vices was required. Mental institutions have become understaffed and prisons are overcrowded. Reduced support for colleges, universities and local schools has started to hurt Michigan's reputation as a good place in which to live and work. And after a six-year period of cuts and freezes in welfare benefits, it was not out of line to consider a modest $6 per month in­ crease for the ADC claimant. Unfortunately, however, justifiable increases were padded with pet political projects - some of which were hard to identify, much less do anything about, in the rush to recess Despite this relaxation of fiscal discipline, not all CALEDONIA William Stacy of Standale.

Congratulations to all involved on the fine job. Did everyone get their fill of garage sales this week? It was so nice to have a chance to visit with everyone and meet some of the people I talk with every week. Judging by the amount of traffic in town that day and the number of sales there were, I would say that the Community wide Garage Sale day was a huge success. I sincerely hope they make this an annual event However, for what it’s worth, I have a couple of suggestions that 1 feel might make it even better. First of all, how about having it on a Saturday so that even more people can get involved - both shop­ pers and sellers. Second, the yellow supplement that was in the Reminder with a listing of the sales and a map, should have been distributed in every Reminder - not just to Middleville residents. Even if that means we have to pay more for our signs, that’s pretty cheap advertising. Third, we need to have a food stand available because we had many people who wanted to buy a quick lunch or snack so they could get on to more shopping. But all in all, I felt it was a great day and the Chamber of Commerce did a super job of getting it all together. Let’s do it again next year! Saturday afternoon Ron, Pam, Dirk and Jaime Strater attended a reunion of Ron’s college friends at Potters Park in Lansing.

Mrttrnte Ml I Aug. 1,1 «851 P^B > Protect Your Home While on Vacation, Consumers Warns This is the time of year when you dust off that fishing pole, dig out the swimming suit, pack up the car and head out on a two-week cross country trip or a long weekend at the cabin. Yet, while you’re off on vacation, Frank Johnson of Consumers Power Com­ pany's Battle Creek district reminds you that home burglars will still be on the job. Many of those burglars could find their jobs made easier by the telltale signs left behind by vacationers. Crime prevention experts say there are a number of steps you can take to keep the stickyfingered from having the pick of your belongings. First, let neighbors whom you trust know that you’ll be out of town. Ask them to make sure your mail and newspapers are picked up. If you plan a long trip, you might consider having mail and newspaper deliveries stopped. Second, hook the lights in your home to a timer. This will give the appearance of normal activity. Once again, if the vacation will be lengthy, ask a friend to alter the times your lights come on and go off. Other steps to take if you won’t be home for some time include getting someone to mow your lawn and letting the police know you’ll be gone and where you can be reached. With your home secured, Johnson says there are some energy* saving measures you can take before you go. Turn the temperature on your gas water heater to pilot. You might also want to remove the circuit breaker or fuse from your electric water heater. You will not need to worry about the heat, so set the temperature on your central air conditioner to 85*. Finally, unplug your television and stereo to reduce the risk of damage from lightning during a storm. Follow these helpfuf hints and you’ll not only find your home in the same condition you left It —- but a smaller utility bill when you return.

MUMk Ml I Ai* t, 1985 Down Memory Lane WITH NORMA VELDERMAN The Will Johnston Family by Ken Loew The Will Johnston family (parents of Anna Willyard of Middleville) originally came from Holland before they moved into Thornapple Town­ ship on the north side near Duncan Lake. They moved here late in August in 1914 after purchasing land from W.E.Ogden, coming by wagon and train. The first to come from Holland were Will and the two oldest boys, Dayle and Dudley, who brought with them the household goods and a few chickens. Nellie (Mrs. Will) and the kids came down by train. Will and Nellie had seven children. The first few years were difficult for the John­ stons for a couple of reasons. First they lost a wheat crop because a farmer nearby had grazed his livestock on it. Also they, meaning Will and his three oldest children, slept in a haymo while waiting for the Ogdens to move out so they could move in. At the same time the rest of the family stayed with their Uncle Fred Bass (Nellie Johnston's brother) on the north side of Grand Rapids. For the most part of two years, they cleared the willow swamp out back of the house. While cleaning it, Dayle, the oldest boy found an Indian canoe when he was seventeen. Everyone took part in a 11 the work on the farm. There were many jobs along with the harvesting of wheat like planting onions, potatoes and pickles while the boys and Will cleared the willow swamp. When it came time for harvesting onions, they rolled down the onion tops to aid in drying or ripening in the ground. Then later they would pick and sort them out, throwing out the ones that were no good. Anna recalls the times when her father and her older brother used to take the pickle harvest to the pickle factory in Middleville which was located near the tracks. Anna mentioned that there had to be a cer­ tain number of pickles in a bushel and of a certain size. They raised chickens which were purchased by sending away for them in the mail - receiving them in two or three weeks. When the hens hatched their eggs, they were put in a triangular hut that was solid on t wo sides. The front was partly open so the chicks c ould range nearby while the hen was con­ fined to the hut. The food and water were kept in there at all times. This method reduced loss of chickens to muskrats, etc. ANNA'S BLACK ANGUS COW WAS CURIOUS ABOUT THE CAMERA OTT COULD RIDE A PIG .

Ml/*•» 1,1985 e Summer 1985 in Europe for Middleville Area Tourists by Gerald Stein Leaving Amsterdam early in the morning of our third day in Europe, we headed southwest toward Germany and Cologne, a four to five hour journey by expressway. A few miles outside of Amsterdam, our bus driver surprised us by pulling off the main streets and following a narrow lane flanked by canals. As we came through the trees, we stared at an authentic Dutch windmill, no longer operational, but a favorite subject for photo-crazy tourists. We unashamedly took all the pictures we could in the brief few minutes we were there. Continuing on our way out of Amsterdam, we realized why the Netherlands are called the Low Countries. We began to pass acre upon acre of greenhouses, and we could see that they were filled with beautiful flowers. The fertile, low and wet con­ ditions were just the right ingredients to make Holland noted for its beautiful flowers. At Aalsmeer, an important village in the flower growing area, we stopped to tour the largest flower auction in the world. We were impressed with the size of the facility — equivalent to the area of 60 football fields. Inside the huge structure, 6 large auction rooms capable of seating over 300 buyers in each room housed 6 large auction clocks. Howers are auctioned off at such a rate that 50,000 transac­ tions can be processed each day. About 12 million flowers and 900,000 potted plants are sold each day. This totals about 3 billion flowers and 220 million potted plants per year. Needless to say, we were all impressed with the Aalsmeer Flower Auction. As we left the Netherlands, we felt we had seen a lot in the two days we had been there. We settled down in our coach for the ride through southeastern Holland, passing near Arnhem, site of a large Allied paratroop drop during World War II, and we crossed the border into Germany. We followed the Rhine River through the industrialized cities of the western part of Germany, through the Ruhr Valley, and on into Cologne, famous for its Gothic cathedral. It is hard to describe the splendor and beauty of a cathedral such as the one at Cologne. Built in the 1200 s, the cathedral has survived to modem times despite the fact that it was damaged by 14 heavy LOCAL CHURCH ST.PAUL LUTHERAN MISSOURI SYNOD Kraft Ave. & 84th St. * Caledonia.

Yet, the twin spires rise majestically to a height of almost 500 feet. Surrounding the ancient church with its spires, vaults, and flying buttresses is the modern city of Cologne, almost completely rebuilt after the devastation of WWII. Somehow the cathedral sur­ vived and is still the main attraction of Cologne. Interestingly enough, having just come from Am­ sterdam. our hotel in Cologne was called the Am­ sterdam. Quaint and small, the rooms were simply furnished with feather comforters. The view out of the window was that of the cathedral over­ shadowing the modern office buildings of Cologne. Unfortunately, the street in front of the hotel was a busy one, and the traffic seemed to be endless all night long. A short walk after supper along the Rhine River gave us another view of Cologne. With its rapids current, the Rhine was busy with heavy freighters moving up and down this important German waterway. Along the banks, as in Amsterdam, people sat in outdoor cafes enjoying the evening, the conversation, the food and drink, and the art of wat­ ching people stroll by. On to Luxembourg and France next time. IN TOUCH BY REPRESENTATIVE BOB BENDER DSS to Begin Innovative Daycare Program. One of the most frequent complaints I get from constituents throughout the district deals with the welfare system and how it is perceived lo be wasteful and inefficient. As the largest single item in the state budget, there is continuing concern about how effective the program is, and how ef­ ficiently it is being operated. We have made some progress in a number of areas within the program, but much remains to be done . As one additional step in improving the system, 1 strongly supported an am endment to the state's Social Services budget t o establish a pilot program in four counties to set up day care centers for the children of welfare recipients. The centers will be staffed by other welfare recipients who will earn their benefits by working there. Right now, the state pr ovides 60 cents an hour for day care for the children of recipients who are in job training or work programs. That 60 cents isn't even enough to hire a babysitter. If we re serious about training people on welfare, day care must be provided for their children. Because this program will be staffed by workfare participants who are earning their welfare benefits, it sould not cost the state any additional money. The 60 cent an hour day care allowance for recipien­ ts whose children use the center will cover incidental costs of the program. Under the amendment, the Department of Social Services will choose four counties reflecting an ur­ ban and rural mix in which to initiate the pilot program. The Department will interview and hire workfare participants for the day care center positions. I think this is a good approach to providing adequate day care for people on assistance who are participating in employment training, education or work programs. The program will be designed to be economically self-sufficient and, by March 1, 1986, the Department must report to the Legislature on its effectiveness. F. JAMES BUDDE, D.D.S. JAMES E.

Middleville Scouts Attend Jamboree Boy Scout Troop 105 spent twelve days visiting the National Jamboree and touring Virginia. Some of the major highlights of the trip included enjoying the opening ceremony of the Jamboree, where we were entertained by the Beach boys, and a tour of FBI Headquarters which was set up by Represen­ tative Paul Henry, followed by a meeting at the Capitol with Representative Henry. We also had a tour of the Pentagon set up by Jack Forster, brother •in-law of Scoutmaster Chuck Baughman. On Sunday, after attending church in William­ sburg, we went to Jamestown Festival Park, a reconstruction of the first permanent English set­ tlement in North America. We also spent a dav in Williamsburg and saw the building where the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution were written and signed. Perhaps the most impressive thing of all was the final day of the Jamboree. Nancy Reagan spoke to the assembled Scouts and we were entertained by the Oakridge Boys. This was followed by a candle­ light ceremony in which approximately 50,000 can­ dles were lighted by Scouts, who then recited in unison the Scout Oath and Law. The ceremony closed with what was reported to be the largest fireworks display ever set off in the United States. Just for fun, we spent a day at Busch Gardens Amusement park, riding all the roller coasters, swings, boats and other crazy rides. Scouts included Chris Barton, Chip Baughman, Bryan Brant, Carl Foster, Fred Fox, Phil Lawrence, Jason Rogers, Craig Stolsonburg, Khris Twigg and Glenn Woodard. The young men of Troop 105 would like to thank all those who frequent our concession stand at soc­ cer games, buy Scout popcorn from us, and eat our spaghetti; and especially the Lions Club, V.F.W., Jaycees, United Methodist Church Men’s Group, and Bradford White Corporation for making it possible for us to attend and participate in this fan­ tastic adventure.

Maybe. Much will depend on how the Michigan Supreme Court decides a constitutional challenge to one of the provisions of the new law. Key provisions of the package include: — Administrative streamlining. To improve professional accountability, new administrative law judges (called magistrates") will be screened, tested and then appointed by the Governor with the advice and consent of the Senate. No longer insulated by civil service protection, these magistrates will be evaluated annually — and their appointments must be renewed every four years. For the first time, magistrates will be required to issue written opinions justifying their decisions. Appeals to a new Appellate Commission will be restricted by a new standard of evidence at that level. No longer will cases decided by lower level judges be heard all over again before the Commission. Starting on October 1, 1986, the appellate body will focus mainly on issues of law rather than re-opening evidentiary questions of fact. These changes should substantially reduce the current five-to-six year backlog of workers' compen­ sation claims on appeal. Injured workers will know more quickly if they are eligible for benefits — and insurance costs which are boosted while cases are on appeal should be reduced for employers. — One new benefit for injured workers. Injured wokers who win their cases at the lower level will receive medical benefits while their cases are pen­ ding on appeal. If employers win on appeal, they will be reimbursed for those medical payments by the Mrs. DeBoer, the 3-year old’s teacher at Caledonia state general fund — at an estimated coat of Parent Cooperative Preschool, enjoys helping the 3- 6400,000 to 6800,000 annually. year olds with their first school experience.

If the Supreme Court rules that one change uncon­ stitutional, the cost-cutting steps will also be thrown out.

They did a little sightseeing, but mostly visited and helped Christina celebrate her birthday. It*s a good feeling to see where your kids are living when they move away - somehow the picture brightens a little. Though after the Prairie, Helen says there's an awful lot of people packed in a small area. The Gib­ sons are doing well and adjusting to life in the city. Fred and Letha Buckingham had a Sunday visiting day. They visited with his sister, Mary Flora of Lakeland.

Eleven of the remaining brothers and sisters and their families attended to the num­ ber of 86. Out of 16 'originals', that’s a pretty good turnout! It had to be a great day for everyone. The Fred Steiners attended the Black Powder Rendezvous in northern Allegan county Saturday. Son Bruce is a member of one of the dubs interested in this old time occupation. I always enjoy hearing about it and hope to be able to attend one of these years.

After «0’» Picnic Turaday Com on the Comer You have heard of the "tree that grew in Brooklyn?” Well, what about the "com stalk that grew in Caledonia. ” This beautiful com plant (com­ plete with a couple of ears) really is the winter food supply of a white-tipped squirrel that lives near Clair and Phyllis Ferris on Emmons Street. Accor­ ding to Phyllis, the squirrel planted a kernel of com at the comer when it was dug up to replace with barrier-free curbing. We hope the harvest later this fall produces enough to keep the squirrel in good supply this winter.

This session was comprised of outings and various guided tours. At Blandford Nature Center we enjoyed a stroll through the natural settings, a visit to the animal hospital, and a taste of "down on the farm" way of life. The tour of the Kent County International Air­ port was conducted by officers Paul and Dan. We had quite an extensive security lecture. The group was put through the metal detection tests and the adult chaperones had handbags and camera cases Xrayed. At the Amway plant we were escorted on their shuttle bus to various buildings. We got to see their powder production facility, the huge and very busy print shop, and an interesting tour of some of the other many facets of this business. In the gypsum mine our guide, Ed, informed us of the past life of this underground business and the current use this facility provides. We occupied ourselves at the Grand Rapids Public Museum by walking the complex and viewing the many different displays. The refur­ bished carousel figures are beautiful. Kellogg Bird Sanctuary provided us with a guide named Karen. She acquainted us with the habits and sounds of birds and other creatures by showing the movie “White Throat" before we walked the sanctuary. Wolf Lake Hatchery is the place to go to gain knowledge about fisheries management and for a view of a museum entitled The Michigan Room. We were even introduced to a huge, living Atlantic Salmon that they’ve named Sally. The program was successful due to the cooperation of parents, participating youths and our forebearing bus driver, Holly Steiner. complete ttne of self-serve gaooUnoo, dfceel fool and snacks inside.

We travelled northwest from Paris to the French port of Calais where we waited for our ferry. We stayed right on the bus and drove into the inner depths of this gigantic boat. At that point, we knew what Jonah must have felt like. Happily, as soon as we were parked, we were released to travel topside to relax and shop during our crossing Our first glimpse of England came when the White Cliffs of Dover appeared on the horizon. The stark whiteness against the blue sky was a moving and impressive sight. One could picture King Lear’s fool pointing out to the mad old King where his son had fallen off the White Cliffs of Dover into the foaming sea. We landed at Dover, cleared customs quickly, and motored on to Canterbury. Canterbury, a site of pilgrimages for centuries, remains a charming little town. The main attraction is still Canterbury Cathedral, where in December of 1170, 4 knights of King Henry II struck down Thomas Becket. Arch­ bishop and long friend of King Henry. Chaucer, in his masterpiece, The Canterbury Tales, has recounted the 60 mile trip from London to Canterbury where the 30 pilgrims all vied for the prize by telling the best story. Canterbury has remained an interesting English Fourth of four in a aeries town even today, and it was a pity we could not stay longer. On we went to London and to our final hotel, the George Hotel, near Earl's Court. Our best meals and service by a delightful husband-wife team came from a small pub not too far from our hotel. We had an upper room and were served delicious and filling English meals all three nights. The next day, our morning tour of London in­ cluded all the traditional sites, including Westmin­ ster Abbey, the Houses of Parliament, the Tower of London. St. Paul's Cathedral, a short stop at The Old Curiosity Shop, immortalized by Charles Dickens, and. of course, the traditional changing of the guard at Buckingham Palace. In the afternoon, many of us elected to visit the interior of Westminster Abbey, and then we hopped on the tube and were whisked down to the Tower of London for a visit to that enticing, but once dreadful place. The museum in the White Tower was worth a visit because of all the medieval armor and weaponry. A peek at the Crown Jewels was also available, housed behind much security in the Tower of London. That evening we were taken to the Strand Theatre for a performance of Noises Off, a delightful comedy about the problems of performers. The next day was a full free day for us in London. The Yoders, DeEtte Baker and Donna Tagg chose to take a full day excursion out into the English countryside. They visited Stonehenge and Bath, and enjoyed their day immense! y. Regina. Gina and I hopped on a bus and went first to Hampton Court, once owned by Cardinal Woolsey, then “taken" by King Henry VIII. (Woolsey not only lost his 600 room palace; he also lost his head.) The gardens at Hampton Court, although smaller than at Versailles, were even more beautiful. We tried our luck at a garden-of-shrub­ bery-maze. We were truly "amazed" when we found our way out. From Hampton Court, we three went to Windsor Castle where Regina and Gina had a chance to tour the State Apartments, while I walked along the gardens and moats. On the way back to London, we passed Runnymede. site of the signing of the Magna Carta, and Eton, the famous school for boys. We returned to London in time to catch a train to the British Museum, eat a lunch of fish and chips, endure a shopping spree in Herrods. have a quick visit to the Museum of Natural History, and enjoy a walk through Kensington Gardens where we had a look at the famous statue of Peter Pan. Exhausted, we returned for our final meal at the St. Stanmore Tavern. Tomorrow we would be leaving early and would be going to Oxford and Stratford. Morning came quickly and we were off to Oxford A visit to one of the many colleges there was a part of our itinerary, and so we visited Christ Church College. One of the more notable mathematics in­ structors to teach at Christ Church College was Lewis Carroll, author of Alice's Adventures in Wonderland. A visit to the Market in Oxford is a must, and we stocked up with Earl Gray tea in a local coffee/tea shop. After a filling lunch in an Oxfordian establishment, we journeyed to Stratford. Birth­ place of William Shakespeare, Stratford has a lot to offer the Shakespeare lover. Anne Hathaway s cot­ tage, New Place, Stratford Grammar School and Holy Trinity Church where Shakespeare is buried are some of the "must see" sites in Stratford. Our visit to Stratford ended with an amusing perfor­ mance of The Merry Wives of Windsor. Our trip to Europe had come to an end. The next morning we said farewell to England, London, and our courier Sue. With us we took some souvenirs and some pictures; but mostly we took memories and impressions of the summer we went to Europe. Happy 60 Club Has Picnic On Monday, August 5, the Caledonia Happy 60 Club held their annual picnic at noon at Peace Reformed Church, instead of the Gun Lake home of Ann VerMerris as planned. Twenty-four senior citizens came out for the day, and the two pastors of the church were our guests. After dinner a few an­ nouncements were made by the president, then the afternoon was enjoyed with games and prizes.

Guidelines for Federal Milk and Lunch Program The Caledonia Community School District will adopt new guidelines issued by the Michigan Depar­ tment of Education for children unable to pay the full price of meals and milk served under federal programs for milk and school lunch. The annual income limit for an average family of four to receive free meals is 813,846; the income limit for reduced price meals for a family of four is 819,703. In most cases, foster children are eligible as well as children of unemployed parents, provided total family income (welfare payments compen­ sation and sub-pay benefits) falls within prescribed guidelines. Letters to parents and applications will be sent home with the children the first week of school. Completed forms should be sent to the student's school; incomplete applications won’t be processed. Following is a chart for assistance eligibility levels. Children from families whose income is at or below the levels shown here are eligible for free milk and meals or reduced price meals. Column A is the maximum annual income limit for fee meals and free milk; column B is the income limit allowed for reduced price meals. The single digit numbers in­ dicate total family size.

MAIN, MIDDLEVILLE PATIENTS OF ALL AGES OFFICE HOURS BY APPOINTMENT LANSING DIARY by PAULHILLEGONDS 54th DISTRICT STATE REPRESENTATIVE _____________________ _________________ / General Motors did not decide to locate Saturn outside of Michigan because of our state’s workera’ compensation law. But I believe that the messy way in which the recent workers compensation reform was handled in Lansing is symptomatic of the traditional labor-management strife which led GM to look elsewhere for more cooperative labor relations. The failure of the legislature to agree on a reform plan by June 30, 1986, meant that the definition of disability — a statutory basis for Michigan’s no­ fault insurance for job-related injuries — had ex­ pired. An attorney general’s opinion stating that the Michigan law still had a definition of disability did not ease employer concern. Major manufac­ turers — especially the auto companies — were gravely concerned that they might be subject to multi-million dollar negligence claims by employees injured at work. How did this incredible political impasse come to be? As one who was involved in every step of the sixmonth negotiating process, I feel that all parties must share in the responsibility — business and labor interests, senators. representatives. Republicans, Democrats, and the Governor. Lessons I learned from the experience include: Keep the process public. I agreed to serve on a small, House-Senate-Administration task force that was assigned the job of negotiating a reform package. We worked behind closed doors - away from the pressure of lobby groups and the attention of reporters. What we agreed on was basically sound policy. However, our bi-partisan agreement was not trusted by labor and business groups that had been left out of the process, and was not well-understood by key legislators who didn’t have the benefit of news coverage of our discussions. When our task force product finally started to wind its way through the legislature, it was even more vulnerable to the political warfare we hoped would be avoided in the first place. Don’t get so caught up in the rhetoric that yoe lose sight of the policy goals. The old definition of disability stated that an injured worker could receive benefits until he or she was able to return to the exact same job she/he held at the time of the in­ jury. In 1981, the definition was tightened so that benefits could be cut once a worker could return to his or her general field of employment. Business lobbyists in 1986 rallied around a change that would put the injured employee back to work if a job suitable to his or her qualifications or training was available. Labor lobbyists and the Governor op­ posed the proposed reform without really discussing why it was so unfair. But business interests never effectively explained what was wrong with the 1981 definition. Some em­ ployers quietly admitted that the “new’’ definition has been one of several factors reducing Michigan workers’ comp costs by 20 to 40% since the 1980 and 1981 reforms. Ultimately the decision was postponed until Jnuary 1, 1987, at which time the 1981 definition of disability will again expire. That agreement was not achieved until after the workers’ compensation system had been thrown in­ to a state of legal uncertainty. State business and labor groups were able to build membership lists by alerting dues-payers to the battle brewing in Lan­ sing - and some did. Lawmakers were able to strengthen political ties by showing their loyalty to one side or the other - and did. And as the various factions dug themselves deeper and deeper into rhetorical holes a timely and sensible reform package became harder to achieve. In the end, an overall compromise was reached — one that with court approval should resolve injured worker claims more quickly and further reduce em­ ployer costs. But the labor, management and political antagonisms that erupted over the issue are a remnant of a dying industrial age. Tragically for Michigan, this type of decision-making process is not the stuff Saturn is made of. �TM Sun ml Mwi Middbvfc.

I wonder if anyone ever makes more mistakes than I do. Doris Brog called me for the first time to give me news. She beat me to the punch. I was so delighted and appreciated her calling me. How did I tell her thank you? I left the slip upstairs by the phone, completely forgetting it until in my cleaning (which I do so seldom) I found it. I feel about an inch high. Cay Velderman was out this weekend helping me sort out all my crafts, kits, quilting stuff and yard goods. I’m selling them and giving them to my children.

Called Lois to explain that I might not get out a column. She gently rem inded me that I had a telephone book! Why couldn’t I think of a sensible solution like that. Sometimes I m sure my upstairs is getting emptier and emptier all the time. I’m so glad you all have patience with me. I sure get irritated with myself frequently. Doris Brog didn’t want me to put the old news in, so I didn’t. But please forgive me. Doris. The Heritage group had a potluck picnic at Har­ wood Lake Saturday afternoon and evening.

Log cabins and bams dotted the hills of Barry County, hones and oxen used for work, and trans­ portation were plentiful. South of the McCallum Church and school stood the cabin of Edmund and Ellen Collins Titus. Their son, Ed­ mond, Jr., one of nine children, was two years old at the time, born September 27,1883. Now at age 101 and near­ ing his birthday at 102, he has the rare opportunity of living to see a second history book about Barry County, written by the BarryCounty Book Committee to be released in a few months. On a recent sunny afternoon, two members from that committee, Roy Kent and Curtis Lawrence from Hickory Corners, called on Ed Titus and found him working in his garden, which he worked up himself with a shovel and grubhoe. “This new history book of Barry County is a wonderful idea,’’ said Mr. Titus. “You know the younger folks can look up things they couldn’t know otherwise. 1 no longer sec well enough to read, so I’m anxious to hear some stories from it.” Recalling history is not unusual for Ed when he’s lived it himself in Barry County almost 102 years. When he moved with his parents from McCallum to his present home, south of Cloverdale on M-43 in 1892, M 43 was a dirt lane up a steep hill under a small leaning tree, which would come to be known as “The Wishing Tree.” “The C.K. &. S. Railroad came across our farm six times a day, two passenger runs to Woodbury and one freight up and back,” recalls Titus. “On July the 15th in 1909, in the afternoon, they had a head-on wreck up at Schultz. John Osgood came by from the McCallum area and we drove up to see the mess. Two men died and many passengers lay there hurt. Speaking of Osgood, all the Osgoods 1 ever met were nice people.” Transportation improved in years later from the trains Ed Titus used to watch come acros his parents farm. When he was attending the Sprague School, north of Cloverdale, he met a young lady by the name of Mary Adams. When Ed visited his sister in Detroit a number of times, Mary would accompany him in his Model T Ford. In 1910, on such a visit to his sister’s, Ed and Mary slipped over to Windsor, Canada, and were married. “Now, say, that was quite a trip in those days,” said Mr. Titus with a smile. Ed and his father were well drillers and drove the very first well in the cemetery north of Hastings. Ed recalls “The horse walked in a circle around the turntable of our horse powered ng A power shaft came out the side near the bottom, called a Tumbling Rod’ which turned the drum we used to wind the rope on. The horse had to learn to step over the tumbling rod each time around." Ed and Mary Titus were married about 65 years before she passed away. They had one child, Paul, who is 73 years old and has two children and six grandchildren of his own. His wife, Evelyn, died about three years ago. With a new History of Barry County Book coming out in a few months, Ed Titus can hardly wait to get his copy and relive again life in Barry County like it used to be. “I've seen a lot of wonder changes. We used to walk everywhere we went. Man has gone from walking on foot to oxen, to the horse and wagon, to the buggy, cars, planes, rockets, to man walking on the moon - all within my life­ time. Come September 27, 1985, and I’ll be 102 years old. I used to smoke a little but quit 80 to 85 years ago. I never liked being angry and tried to live at peace with my neighbors as best I could. Maybe that helps you to live a long while.” If that is the case, Mr.Ed Titus, then many people in Barry County might just like to follow your way of life and maybe they might find themselves a century later with another Barry County Book Committee releasing a third History Book of Barry County.

To make watermelon rind pickles, first cut the pale-colored inner rind into 1 cubes and soak them overnight in a solution of 4 tablespoons of salt per quart of water. (One large melon will yield approximately 4 quarts of cubes ) The next day, drain off the liquid, cook the rind in fresh water until tender, then drain it again. Next, make a syrup of 8 cups of sugar. 4 cups of vinegar. 8 teaspoons of whole cloves. 12 cinnamon sticks, and a pinch of mustard seed. Boil the mixture, allow it to sit for 15 minutes, add the watermelon nnd. and cook the cubes until they become transpar ent. Pour the cubes and syrup into clean, sterile jars, and seal them immediately This recipe will make 4 or 5 pints of delicious pickles Preserves are made in much the same way Prepare the nnd as before. Soak it over­ night. cook it until tender, and drain Then make a syrup of 9 cups of sugar. 8 cups of water. 2 sliced lemons, and 4 sticks of cinnamon. (Add whole cloves to the syrup if you like.) Boil the syrup for five minutes, add the melon cubes, cook them until they're clear, and then they. too. will be ready to be sealed in sterile jars Of course, it s the sweet, red “meat of the melon that most people miss in midwinter But you can dry watermelon for off season treats, and-m many cases-it s even more delicious when dehydrated, since tbe process removes the water and concentrates the flavor Watermelon s high moisture content makes it difficult to sun-dry. but ovens and commercial dehydrators can do a superb job of drying the fruit Whatever the drying method, carve the melon into 1 2’ thick slices icroasways. not stem to stern) Cut the pieces in half and remove the nnd. then fit them snugly (with no overlapping! on a rack and place it in your dehydrator or oven When using an oven, set it on the lowest heat and leave the door slightly cracked Place a small fan near the oven door so that air will circulate around the slices Check every hour or two. and when the pieces start to become leathery, turn them When the slices are no longer tacky to the touch, take them ouL cool them at room temperature, and store them m an airtight container In a dehydrator, put the slices on the lowest rack, or the one nearest the cod If you re drying a full run of melon, leave the racks in place for three or four hours, then put the bottom rack on the top and move each of the other racks one step down Rotate the trays every few hours until all the melon pieces are uniformly dry to the touch Don t take the melon out while it s still gummy or it will ding to your teeth wait until it snaps when you bend it. like cnspy bacon.

People are realizing the need to record their wishes on funeral services for themselves. They recognize that this takes away the difficult burden of decision making later during the hour of need and assures the family of doing the right things within proper budgets. For some time, this funeral home has recognized the needs and desires of thinking persons to plan ahead. I have developed ways of assisting those who wish to make arrangements in advance. Our funeral home has ouite a lot of families who have so recorded their plans and wishes with us. They appreciate the opportunity to make these wishes known. Most people have definite ideas about the ser­ vices they wish for themselves; specific details such as the minister, the music and scripture readings, flowers, costs, etc. They don’t have to pre-plan their funerals, but they know it’s a good feeling when it's done and the family won’t have to worry about it! There are three reasons to pre-plan your funeral Economy — You can save money when you pre­ plan by stipulating only as much in service and mer­ chandise as you wish. Personal Choices — You can choose your own clergyman, music, scripture and the kind of service, down to the smallest detail. Inner Security — It is a weight off your mind, knowing that your arrangements are complete, and the costs will not be a burden to your family. In invite you to visit or call about preplanning your funeral service. There are no costs or obligations, and you don't even have to pre-pay your funeral to ha ve your wishes made known.

As a rule, they were very hardworking people. They saw a job that had to be done and whether they liked it or not, it was there. Do it! Go on to the next job. Work, work, work was the order of the times. Chur­ ch, occasional neighborhood work sessions, such as bam raising, threshing, silo filling Grange meetings or Farmers Picnics were used as social gatherings. Their pleasures and times of relaxation were often combined with work. They never seemed to feel poor or low man on the totem pole because they didn't have a lot of material things. They felt rich in their families and friends. Many of them never had much education, sometimes never going higher than the 4th grade. The men, particularly, had to get out and help their families survive at a very early age. Their time was their dad’s until they were 21. The girls were more fortunate to be able to go to school a little longer. Neither the boys or girls were resentful because they couldn't have everything. You were desperately needed and so willingly filled that need, thinking of the family first. Maybe when you had children you tried to make sure your children had more chances than you did. The restlessness prevalent now we hope will be balanced by our teaching our children the same basic pride and enjoyment in a job well done. The woman and her family that I m writing about today is what I call our everyday, basic, down-to earth, good individuals. She and her family never made the headlines, never made lots of money, but are the grease in our country’s machinery that make America great. Her life touched our local history in Rutland Twp. and Irving Village before she and her husband and family settled in Hastings. She’s still living in Hastings at the age of 91. Her name is Brenice Pier­ ce Wilcox, her husband was Lyle Wilcox. It never ceases to amaze me in doing my history writing, how in going after a story, you reap ad­ ditional finds as a side benefit. I was listening to Brenice tell her early life in our area when she told me about attending Whitmore School I had been trying to locate all of the schools in Rutland Town­ ship, name, location, district number, and find any pictures of the school house, students and teachers. She not only had three different pictures, different school years students and teachers at Whitmore School, but finding out I needed more school infor­ mation, she suggested we go over the 1895 Rutland Twp. platte map and wherever they had a symbol of a schoolhouse, we’d try to get its name and location. So now I have seven schools. They are: Wilcox School (Upton Rd. Sec. 8 NWV<), Whitmore School (comer Chief Noonday and Whitmore Rd., NE cor­ ner Sec. 17 on Mi sec. line), Otis Lake School (Otis Lake Rd., Sec. 31 NEW), Yeckley School (Yeckley Rd., a road which turns into M-43 - sec. 23 NWMi), Edger School (Junction of Irving Rd. and Gun Lake Rd., sec. 16. SWW), Powell School ( on Heath Rd., sec. 14 NEW), Tanner School (Tanner Lake Rd. on Sec. line between sec. 35 and 36). I was so pleased at this unexpected bonus I hugged her If you have any changes or corrections, could you help us get an accurate listing of all the schools in Rutland Twp? If any of you have any ad­ ditional pictures, students and teachers, we’d sure appreciate any help you can give us. Brenice’s father, Fred Pierce and mother Addie Cook Pierce, grew up in Climax. The Cooks later moved to California. When Fred was 30 and Addie 23, they were married in California, returning to Michigan to set up housekeeping near Climax. Brenice said it was an old family story that when the five Pierce brothers came to Michigan to homestead, after arriving in the Climax area, one brother said “After going through all the land from the east coast, this area was the Climax of everything they'd seen”, hence the name of Climax. She also told about the heavy woods and some prairies that were there, so when the farmers turned their cattle out. having no fences, they would bell the boss cow so at milking time they could locate them. While living in Climax, Addie Pierce Cook got homesick for her family. She and the three children they had took the train to California. Brenice was bom in California with her grandmother as the midwife. She was 7 months old before her dad had saved enough money for them to come back to Mich. When Brenice was seven her father purchased a 40A farm near the comer of (now) Chief Noonday and Peets Rds., Rutland Township, later increasing it to 80 acres by purchasing the 40 to the west of them. They lived on this farm for 12 years. The Pierce's now had 5 children: Floyd, Merta, Alma Pierce Lewis. Brenice Pierce Wilcox and Zelma Pier­ ce Lennon. All the Pierce children attended the Whit­ more School. Some of the teachers she remembered were Nora?, Mae Cairns, Edna Coles, Ella Hills. Doris Macklin. Ella Lathrop, Emily Edger, and a man teacher soon after she finished 8th grade. Brenice'8 mother's sister, Edna Cook Butler and family from California spent the winter near them, renting the Luther farm near the junction of Chief Noonday and Peets Rd. Later on the Butler family moved into Irving, renting the Pratt farm east of the village on Irving Road. So Fred Pierce rented the John Campbell farm on shares, next to the Pratt farm, still working his own farm. He did this so the two sisters could be near each other. This is the year that Brenice attended Irving School. She remem­ bers Maude Tuple as one of the teachers. Maude's parents lived on a farm on McCann Road and M-37 now owned by Jerrie and Andy McKeown. Edna Butler and family returned to California so the Pierce's moved back to their farm in Rutland. (Harry Bennetts moved on the Campbell place when they left) Brenice had a bad case of measles during her 8th grade, so could not take her 8th grade exam in Hastings. Brenice worked for other people in their homes af­ ter the 8th grade. One person she remembers working for was Ada and Omar Shaw. They were putting up the new barn. Mrs. Shaw was not well and they had a large crew for raising bam. Brenice and Lyle Wilcox were married at her parents home in Battle Creek. They lived a while in the Battle Creek area, moving to Irving in 1927, buying the Joe Springer house on McCann Rd. in Irving. They lived here 10 years. Richard, the next to the youngest son, was two. They now had six children: Roger Helen Wilcox Lake, Aleta Wilcox Sinclair, Iris Wilcox Underhill, Roy and Richard. Frederick was boro 12 years after Richard, the last of the seven children. Brenice was talking about her life in Irving. One incident she remembers was the kindness of James Nagel, Ben's father. Lyle was working away from home, during the depression, coming home on the weekends. Springers moved the due date of the house payment ahead, saying she’d have to pay or get out. Somehow, James found out about it, went to Middleville and drew out the money and gave it to Brenice, knowing Lyle would take care of it when he came home. Helen Wilcox Lake said she graduated from Ir­ ving school, taking her 8th grade exam at the Barry County courthouse. She started going to Middleville when they had just consolidated (around 1930-31) riding the first buses to school. Did you know we had a woman bus driver way back then? She was Mary Rosenberg (Mrs. Claude). They had to buy their own buses then. We have an old newspaper clipping with the drivtr8 and their buses. Richard started school in Irving. The family then oved to Hastings because Lyle was working for the Barry County Road Commission. They rented various homes in Hastings. When the youngest child, Fred, was six. they purchased a farm on Cen­ ter Road where they lived for 49 years, the children going to school in Hastings. Lyle and Brenice celebrated their 65th wedding anniversary June 8, 1981. Two or three years ago, Lyle died at the age of 90. Brenice still lives there off and on. sometimes staying with her children, who 13 EWNEW, was owned by Meline Warner. John andler moved the Grange to his farm adjoining Warners on Bowens Mill Road where the road cur­ ves around the swamp. (I believe Rosie Eggleston’s daughter and son-in-law now live there. 3. Ashel Luther owned the adjoining farm to the south of Warne-s on Peets Rd. (Peet is the Township line between Rutland and Yankee Springs) 4. When the Pierces rented the John Campbell farm on Irving Rd., the homes coming east out of Irving on Irving Road were Charles Farm, Pratt’s farm, Campbell farm. Cranes, then Sowerby s. 5. Some other students in Irving when Brenice was there for that were were Brenice Benedict and Nell Schenkel as a little girl visiting school. 6. Brenice said when they moved to Irving in 1902 there were two churches. Methodist and Congregational. The Congregational did not hold services, (we’re still trying to find out when the Congregational Church was tom down) 7. When the Wilcox’s lived in Irving. Helen Wilcox Lake remembers two boys. Bobbie Barton and Eddie Delano drowning in the Thornapple River. Jack Perry. John Perry- s son. driving around the village in an old car, to alert the people of the drowning. The officer came and took the bodies to the funeral home in a truck. Helen remembers the double funeral. 8. Brenice remembering helping out at the birth of Hazel and Ben's twins. She was holding one of the twins when it started bleeding from the navel. She had to run to Neal’s to call Doc Swift, who quickly told her to re-tie the navel. 9. Brenice recalls the annual Farmers Picnic at Streeter’s Resort at Gun Lake. (I can even remem­ ber that). She loaned me a picture of the hotel with no other buildings around it. She also had a picture of a six-legged calf shown there. Also they had a horse-drawn merry-go-round. Lyle’s mom worked at the Hotel at one time. 10. Brenice remembers the sturdy handmade desks they had at the Whitmore School. Also, when the Pierce family moved to that area there were only 4 children going to school, Minnie Whitwright. Kate Healey, Ambrose Guernsey and Belle Page. 11. All the Pierce children, as most families did in those days, had to help out at home. The boys had to help their dad outdoors, the ghrisl helping out in the house. Brenice remembers getting the cows up from the pasture for milking, filling the woodbox. and bringing in water from the pump outdoors That was the only way a family could make out, everybody pitching in regardless of age. 12. The neighbors exchanged work with each other. She remembers the Andler girls, Rosie An­ dler Eggleston and Ata Andler helping the Pierce girls with the com planting. Brenice ended our interview by proudly recalling that they had 7 children, 24 grandchildren, better than 40 great-grandchildren, and 4 or 5 great-great grandchildren. Isn’t that wonderful?

The approximately one-third of a mile project goes from the stoplight south to the village limits. Five bids were received, the highest being $442,920. The lowest bid of $365,692 was rejec­ ted because of an error in the bidding document. The completion date is 70 working days, and it is unclear at this time, said Village Manager Kit Roon, whether the construction can be started yet this fall. The road surface will be entirely rebuilt with a bituminous base, widening it from 40’ to 44’. New storm drains and water main replacemen­ ts will also be done before the roadway is finished. There will all new curbs, sidewalks, driveway approaches and gutters installed. Also an improvement will be the widening of the turns at the intersection on M-37 and Main Street. Earlier this summer all Consumer Power poles were set back to allow the roadway to be extended. Caledonia The little hid in all of us comet out when you mention that the circus is coming to town!

Recycling Tips Autumn will be arriving soon, with leaves, branches and walnuts to pick up from our yards. Garages, too, need to be cleaned before the onset of winter. Many of the debris lying about outdoors can be reused or recycled? Leaves (except from black walnut trees! can be composted. Small branches can be saved for Kindling. The walnuts from black walnut trees can be dried as follows: Put the walnuts in a burlap sack and crush them with a hammer, or run over them with the car. It’s the skin or rind that needs to come off. Wear rubber gloves because they stain the skin. Clean them up, and put the good ones in a dark place to dry. They should be put single layer in a shallow box, and cover them with a screen. The drying out will take several weeks. Give them away as gifts for Christmas, or enjoy them at home. When cleaning the garage, remember to recycle newspapers by calling the Mid­ dleville Boy Scouts for details. Small metal scrap can be recycled at the Mid­ dleville recycling site (Middle Mart), as well as clean tin cans (labels removed) and aluminum. Clear glass only - no window glass, light bulbs, brown or green or ceramics - can be recycled also. Labels do not have to be removed, but caps, plastic inserts, rings, and any foam insulation do have to be taken off. tit “You’re never far from your checking or savings account — with CIRRUS.” CIRRUS.

USE SUN & NEWS CLASSIFIEDS! �Paga 4 / Tha Sun and Newt, MiddMa, Ml I Aug. 29,1985 Tips on Controlling Wasps by William L. Steenwyk Extension Agriculture Agent stripes on the abdomen and build papery nests in hollow logs, under stones, in shrubs, but most often underground. Control above ground species with an aerosol wasp and hornet killer that shoots a narrow stream of pesticide up to 20 feet. This allows the ap­ plicator to keep a safe distance. Spray the nests thoroughly and in the case of hornets, direct it towards the entrance hole. Ground dwelling Yellow Jackets are best controlled with an insecticidal dust sprinkled around the opening. The insects will drag some of the poison mto the nest on their bodies. In all cases, it best to approach the nest at night when the wasps are least active and all individuals are in the nest. Use a flashlight as little as possible. If you want additional protection, wear extra loose layers of clothing, gloves, boots, and head/eye protection. For more information, contact the Cooperative Extension Service at 301 S. Michigan Ave. in Hastings. Recently. I’ve received a number of calls from distraught homeowners complaining of problems with wasps around their homes. The mere sight of these long-winged, stinger equipped insects is enough to make even the bravest individuals un­ comfortable enough to go out of their way to avoid them. The fact is, however, that most stinging insects do much more good than harm. Bees provide valuable pollination services to many crops while producing beeswax and sweet honey as well. Wasps prey om other insects, many of which are undesirable pests. Some very small wasp species are released to the environment by Entomologists to help contro har­ mful insects such as the gypsy moth and the alfalfa weevil. With this in mind, wasps and bees shouldn't be killed unless they pose an immediate threat. Most species are not very aggressive and will only attack if they or their nest is being threatened. When wasps nest around homes and yards, control may be necessary since the chance of getting too close and therefore stung, greatly increases. I'll outline a few safe, effective control measures to use against par­ ticular species. Wasps and bees can, in general, be classified as solitary or social. The solitary wasps are easiest to control since only one wasp lives in a nest. Also they are not particularly aggressive. Cicada Killers and Mud Daubers are both solitary species. The Cicada Killer is very large (1-1H” long) and nests in holes in the ground. They store paralized Cicadas (those loud buzzing insects heard in the trees each summer) in their nests as food for the young. Mud Daubers build nests of mud and clay under eaves and behind shutters. These wasps can be individually sprayed with an aerosol wasp insecticide. Both adults and neats of Cicada Killers can be eliminated by ap­ plying an insecticidal dust (Sevin or Malathion) around the mouth of the nest hole. Mud Dauber nests can be manually destroyed by breaking the nest with a long pole. The adults will fly away. Social wasps nest in groups or colonies. Foliates build the common honeycomb-like, papery nests un­ der eaves, porches and in trees and shrubs. Hornets build the large paper, football sized and shaped nests in trees, shrubs and occasionally under eaves. The nest has a small entrance hole at the bottom, united States°for the first Yellow Jackets have prominent black and yellow time on March 31,1918.

One of our nephews in Illinois passed away Saturday morning after a brief and fierce bout with cancer, so Tom and I, Frits and Alice Stainer were there to be with the family. He was close in age to ours, and their children of an equal age also. It's always nice to visit family, but not quite under those circumstances. But there's always good news to balance the unhappy, and our good news this week is that son David was called to fill in a last-minute opening and is now enrolled in med school in Kirksville, Missouri. This has been his dream for the past few years, and we are all thankful that it is beginning to come true. I will bother you for news on this holiday weekend to make up for lost time - and ask that you please be careful driving, wherever you go. We need you. Happy school days to all you students.

Frank Johnson, manager of the Battle Creek District of Consumers Power Company has stated. "Aas the summer continues and people clean out their attics and garages, we have noticed that more and more signs for garage sales are being fastened to our electric distribution poles." Johnson said. "Some communities in this area have ordinances making that illegal. But beyond that, attaching signs poses a threat to the safety of our linemen. We use bucket trucks more now to work on the lines, but we still must climb poles under certain circum­ stances. If a lineman's climbing gear strikes a nail or other piece of metal that was used to attach a sign, he can be misled into thinking his spike is set firmly into the pole. This could result in what we call a ‘cutout’ and the lineman might fall, with serious in­ jury a possible result,” Johnson said. The same danger exists from the posting of signs for auctions, public events or other purposes, he ad­ ded. "Please remember that our poles are private property and that they serve the general public. Using them for personal purposes violates company policy and could result in a fine if the community has a law against this. But beyond that, the danger to our linemen is of greater concern. "State law also prohibits posting of signs on utility poles within state highway rights of way,” he said. State Police School to Start The 99th recruit school for officer candidates is scheduled to begin September 3 at the State Police Training Academy in Lansing, Col. Gerald L. Hough, department director, announced. Sixty-five recruits are expected to participate in the 25-week program. This is only the second school to be held since January, 1982, due to state budget cutbacks in recent years, Hough explained. A recruit school graduated in March, 1984. Due to a new ruling on the Fair Labor Standards Act limiting activity to a forty-hour work week, the school will run 25 weeks instead of the usual 15. No changes in the rigorous training program are plan­ ned. Upon graduation on February 17, the new officers will be assigned to posts for a 12 month probationary period then will receive advance trooper training. First National Acceptance Co. 34-1 ••••••••••••••••••• A person who returns to work after beginning to receive Social Security retirement checks may be entitled to increased benefits as a result of the ad­ ditional earnings, Robert Fleminger, Social Security manager in Grand Rapids, said recently. Social Security automatically refigures the benefit after the additional earnings are credited to the person’s record. "These people are also eligible for a special credit that, ran mean a larger benefit for them.’* Fleminger said. “This credit adds 3 percent a year — or *4 of 1 percent for each month the person does not get benefits because he or she worked after 65 This ad­ ditional credit also increases the payments made to widows and widowers. "For workers who become 65 in 1990, the delayed retirement credit will gradually increase until it reaches 8 percent, ’ ’ Fleminger said. More information about delayed retirement credits can be obtained at the Grand Rapids Social Security Office, located in the Calder Plaza Building at 250 Monroe, N.W. The telephone number is 4562241.

The nationally known star, Pat Boone, will soon be recording it. • Christina is now on tour in Indiana and Michigan. A native of Mi ddleville and Barr y County, she lived in Western Michigan most of her life prior to her move to Ix>s Angeles last November. While living in California she has become deeply involved with the missing children’s organizations, particularly the Laura Bradbury Foundation. Pat Boone will be recording and videotaping a special presentation of the song, “Bring the children Home.” It will be sponsored by the Laura Bradbury Foundation. On the video there will be over 1W minutes of “roll call" picturing 30 to 40 missing children. At the end of a single showing of "Adam ", a true story of an abducted child, a similar roll call was done. As a result 9 children were located and returned to their homes. It is also planned to produce 30-second “roll call’' public service an­ nouncements on which a portion of the song will be used, which pleads with the abductors to return the children. All royalties will be donated to missing children organizations. "Union 33", a Christian TV Talk Show, co-hosted by Pastor John Clark and Diana Kracker, will be doing special program to be aired on Kalamazoo Cable Access Channels. Christina will be their guest and will be sharing some important facts and infor­ mation about missing children. She will also be singing a number of her own original songs. The concert at Bowens Mills will include group singing of some of the old time hymns along with some worship choruses. Christina will be sharing in testimony and song. There will be no charge for the con cert, however, a love offering will be taken. Folks are encouraged to bring lawn chairs and blankets and be ready to enjoy a very peaceful, in­ spiring evening. This will be the last concert of the season for Historic Bowens Mills, and as usual there will be a big bonfire and marshmallows for roasting during the fellowship time. The Old Mill is located two miles north of the State Park entrance on Briggs Road. In case of rain, the concert will be held at the nearby Note of Praise, 12223 Chief Noonday Road.

Husband Johnny and daughter Cay drove out to Pat’s in New Jersey, taking a load of things for them. It was a short and tiring trip. I’m glad I didn't have to do it. I was home dog-sitting. I had a lazy weekend all to myself - kind of nice. A week ago Doug and Liz Hart and family got together at Doug’s parents for their family reunion. Doug’s younger brother was up from Georgia, so everyone came to be with them. Then Wednesday the Hart family visited Green­ field Village, not realizing it closed at 5:30. So it really turned out to be a short but enjoyable visit. Next time they want to stay overnight and really take their time. Sunday they attended the annual neighborhood picnic at French's. Monday, Liz’s family; mom. father, dad’s mom and her brother and wife and three youngsters; came over to celebrate their 2nd son and Ann Marie’s birthdays. Sanfords also attended the neighborhood picnic at French's. Also, the Yoestings came over Monday with the rest of the Sanford family. Beth Verlinde said all last week they had a warm, nice family full house. Mary, husband and family. Ruth, husband and family, as well as the Jim Verlinde family were there. The Lewis brother. Jimmy, was up north with his mom. Steve was up north of the bridge visiting friends. Don Williamson said they had a nice college­ bound family get together at a motel in Lansing. Don Jr. attends University of Michigan. Melinda and Stacey attend MSU, and Don is working on his masters from Western. We parents know how dif­ ficult it is to get your scattered children together at once, so I think it was a real nice and different idea for a relaxing family get together. Rose Morgan said they had just gotten back from a wonderful family visit to Interlochen with their three sons, wives and girlfriends. It was gorgeous weather and they had a wonderful time. The Koeplingers had just come back from a trip on their motorbike to Grand Haven where they walked the 4 mile boardwalk. Earlier they had rid­ den 5300 mile, 18-day motorcycle trip out west. Wednesday Alice and Russell Bender went to Jackson to visit her niece Evelyn Jewell and husband. Her sister. AnnaBelle Abbey was also there. Saturday Mary Alice and girls from Barryton were down, staying overnight. Sunday evening Our banking card isn’t just another card. Th. Sun ml N«w>, Mrtfev*. Ml I Sept 5.19851 P»9» 3 Charlee and Helen Andringa of Wayland visited the Benders. Saturday Don and Dorothy Dean visited daughter Robin and Carl and family in Northville. I hadn’t been able to get hold of Twila Elwood. She said she’d been busy with her niece’s wedding and also visiting with her aunt and uncle from Florida and with an 89-year old relative in Mt. Pleasant. She says she’s a joy to see because she’s such a sharp dresser, as well as an interesting per­ son to be with. Twila spent a few days with her aunt and uncle at Little Long lake. Mrs. Featherly said they bowled Saturday. Sun­ day most of the family were home and Monday they were just relaxing. Donna Kenyon said they had been vacationing up at Higgins Lake at a cottage with her sister. It rained practically all the time they were there, but they had a good time. Neva Kenyon's dad received a pacemaker recen­ tly, and this week is undergoing further surgery. Her brother Norm Bryans of Illinois came up for the week end, so Neva and Bill went with their friends on their annual Labor Day get together, this year at Ludington. Finally got hold of lyla Norton. She’s back home and coming along nicely. Can't keep a good gal down. Sunday night Lynn and Luana Tolan had a picnic with Fred and Laurel Rock. Fred Jr. and Agnes, and Jack and Judy Posthumus. Monday the whole family took a wonderful trip of the airport provided by Nancy and Owen Jones, who works for Republic Airlines. They toured some jet planes, seeing the kitchen and pilot’s cabin, as well as the tower. It was really very exciting for them and a thoughtful gesture on Owen’s part. The Vandal’s son from Kentucky was home last week. Peg is staying on for a week before going on to her mom’s in Detroit. Sunday Basil Bowerman and wife visited Rollo and Mae. Monday Cleora and Harold Elgersma visited the Bowermans. Pat Hilty said daughter Michelle is now settled back into her dorm at Grand Valley College.

Bender on Special Problem Study Committee State Representative Bob Bender is among ten House Republican members selected to study critical social and economic problems in Michigan and recommend innovative solutions. Bender was named to the group by House Republican Leader J. Michael Busch. Bender said the study group began its work last week to identify and explore the factors which will influence Michigan's future in the next decade. Tne group is a House Republican caucus effort to prepare a new legislative agenda for the 1980 s and 1990 s. “State government often reacts to crises and proposes bandaid solutions to nagging problems rather than coming up with creative and innovative approaches,’’ Bender said. “This study group is going to tap the best brains in the state for new and workable ideas to make Michigan's future prosperous. As far as I know, it’s the first time anyone in the Legislature has decided to look 10 to 20 years in the future in order to make decisions about today." Bender said the group expects to spend nine mon­ ths researching issues with the assistance of academicians, economists and representatives from national think tanks. "We in the Legislature tend to listen to our­ selves and special interest groups when working on proposed laws. It’s easy to get caught up by the operating assumptions of the past that way. This g*oup intends to challenge basic operating assum­ ptions and even explore what, if any, role gover­ nment should play in solving problems and shaping the future of Michigan," he said. “I think it will be a challenging nine months, and I believe the results will be of interest to all Michigan citizens.

Your Host LINDEN STEEBY, 891-1577 �NEWS OF YOUR CALEDONIA NEIGHBORS with JEAN SOEST This last weekend of the summer has been quite a weekend. Saturday was a beautiful day. warm but not too warm. Hardly a cloud in the sky. not much wind. A perfect day to be outdoors. And we were. On a 30 ft. sailboat on Lake Michigan. We sailed out of a marina on Muskegon Lake on a boat owned by Bob Zink of Grand Rapids. It took all afternoon to go 11 miles up the shoreline, then we turned around and headed back only to find us unable to go anywhere. No wind. So we started up the engine and beaded home. We did find the wind again, right about the time we were to go through the channel full of fishing boats. Sunday the day was cloudy and overcast, but not too cold, so we packed up to go to George’s and try our luck fishing. The girls got busy playing and we never did get the fishing poles out. We went for a paddle boat ride and stopped to call on some friends across the lake, and while we were there it started to thunder. We hurried back to George’s just in time. as it poured for two hours. After the rain stopped and Rich was bailing out the boats, a fisherman told him he had caught 15 8 and 9 inch bluegills just before the storm hit. No wonder he was the last one off the lake. Then the fog moved in and we got to come home in the fog. Monday sure was a mixture of weather. Dark and dreary in the morning that cleared off to a beautiful, warm sunny day. Rich’s folks, Mr. and Mrs. Art Soest, called on us and told us about a trip they are planning to take. Later we went for a short ride around Gun Lake in the Model A. We stopped by Rich’s sister's house, Mr. and Mrs. Jerry Smith, in Moline, and then on for home. And wouldn’t you know it. About a mile from home the car quits. Thanks to the help of Jerry and Judy Good we got it home and tucked in the garage. Last Sunday Mr. and Mrs. Rudolph Steeby of Michael J. Trompen, D.P.M.

This year’s team will have two time all-conference players. Deb Ploeg and Jen­ nifer Geukes, playing first and second singles. Both Deb and Jennifer won their conference flights at those positions last year, which should make us very strong at those two positions. Julie DeMorrow has improved a great deal since last year and will fill the third singles position. Missy Rounds will be starting at fourth singles after playing third doubles last year. Jean Stander and Melissa VerStrate played second doubles last year and will hold down the first doubles position this year. This team won the second doubles flight last year and should be very strong at first doubles this year. Kris Wohlford and Michelle Errair will play second doubles this year. Both players are sophomores and did not start last year. We expect this to be a strong team which should fare well during the season. Lisa Wolverton and Kathy Cooley will play the third doubles position. Lisa started at third doubles last year, and should help to make this a strong point for us. Kathy did not start last year, but has worked hard to improve her game during practice sessions. We have some promising freshmen that will play some exhibition matches, and possibly a varsity match or two before the season is over. Katie Elies is currently holding down the number 11 position, with Jill Dussia at the 12th position. Barb Hoisted, Nicki Harrison, Stacy Anderson and Cassandra Schantz will continue to challenge for higher positions as the season progresses. Caledonia has a number of returning starters from last year and will be title contenders. Hamilton lost its first two singles players to graduation, which will make it very difficult for the traditionally tough Hawkeyes to contend for this year’s title. Kelloggsville. Comstock Park and Byron Center each return their entire squads for this year’s com­ petition. All three have hopes of improving on last year’s records. Four seniors were lost from last year’s conference championship team. Those players will be very dif­ ficult to replace. Three of the four seniors were allconference players. Middleville is seeking its 7th conference title in the past 9 years. We have lost nearly half of our team from last year’s conference champions. We do not have any seniors on this year’s team, which will make a repeat of last year’s performance very dif­ ficult. We will be starting 6 juniors and 4 sophomores on this year’s team. With a team this young we expect to improve a great deal as the season progresses. Caledonia is the last team on the conference schedule, which will give us a little time to get ready for a very tough match. ***** X * * * VARSITY FOOTBALL Hudsonville Sept. 6 * * ♦ * a Sept. 5 JV FOOTBALL Hudsonville * * * * * SOCCER Lowell T Sept. 9 Sept. 11 GOLF Caledonia Lee T H GIRLS TENNIS Godwin Sept. 6 Hamilton Sept. 9 Byron Center Sent. 11 T T H ♦ * ♦ « BOYS AND GIRLS CROSS COUNTRY Sept. 10 Middleville Inv.

The squad is coached by Stew Evans, a teacher at McFall Elementary and member of the West Michigan Soccer Officials Association and the United States Soccer Federation. Eighteen players make up the roster for the Trojan hooters’ premier season. Having risen through the ranks of the highly successful American Youth Soccer Organization program in Middlevilla, most of the players are freshmen and sophomores, the skills they developed through their AYSO training have helped them become a competitive unit. Freshmen on the squad include wings John Frei and Scott Parker, forward Kenny Loew, half­ backs Rori Curths, Mark Law and Brent VanPolen, and fullback Tony Neeson. Sophomores featured are halfbacks Spencer Miller and Brandon Wustman. fullbacks Rolin Timmerman and Rob Kenyon, and goalkeeper Jandt Herweyer. Halfback Scott Keitzman and forward Shawn Eaton are the juniors, and halfbacks Andy Thompson and Shawn Lake, fullback Kevin Magness, and goalkeeper Andy Pelli are the seniors on the squad. The Trojan kickers face an exciting season ahead, mostly in competition with Class A and B area schools. The action is non-stop and skillful. Mid* dleville kicks off its debut season September 4 at Kentwood High School and will open at home on September 17 against East Grand Rapids High School.

Boy Scout Troop 65 has Busy Summer Middleville Boy Scout Troop 65 made a trip to Cub Scout Day camp on Algonquin Lake held June 27-28-29. Scouts of troop 65 giving a helping hand to the Cub Scouts were Chuck Gray, Matt and Jeff Hernandez, Tim Wilkins, Tony Sclafani and Den mother Helena Hernandez. In July, Troop 65 took a trip to Kalkaska during the week of July 7 - 13, at Camp Tapico. Sunday morning Jeff and Matt Hernandez, Tony Sclafani, Timothy Trumbull, Jim Wiles, Chuck Gray, Scout­ master Pete Hernandez, assistant Bob Frost, left Middleville with Vic Vickers in his van. After a week of leaders and scouts working on badges and completing requirements, Vic arrived on July 13 to bring the group back home. The weather was cool, but cooperated with sunshine and a few drops of rain. Thanks to Vic for taking .the time and effort to make the two trips to Kalkaska, to Dave Kaechele for bring his son Mark, and to Dave Foster for bringing his son Chris so the boys could all be together at camp. On August 16th, the Troop left for Cedar Point in two vehicles. Tony Sclafani, Charlie and Larry Den­ nis, Timothy Trumbull, Matt, Paul and Jeff Her­ nandez, Chris Foster, Jim Wildes, Chuck Gray, Jason Feltzer, Jim and Karl Wilkens, with Scout­ master Pete Hernandez and assistant Scoutmaster Mr. Bob Frost, were headed for a campgrounds just outside of Cedar Point for Friday night.

Your Home Deserves s storc 0* Safe / StfU 0* Soli 5-57% <_________________________ ✓ Recently a former House speaker wrote to lawmakers. “ ... I have come to feel that the Legislature is currently incapable of dealing with matters that involve equity for Detroiters." It is true that the loss of population and reappor­ tionment of legislative districts have made it more difficult for the shrinking Detroit delegation to get beneficial policies enacted for Michigan’s largest city. And gone are the days when Detroit's booming auto industry led the state into an era of prosperity. Now many outstate citizens view Detroit as an un­ wanted burden on the state's economy. Racial prejudices also lurk behind some of the Detroitrelated squabbles. My own view is that Michigan cannot afford to write off its largest urban resource. Detroit has con­ tributed much to our state’s cultural and economic wealth — and still has much to offer. But that city’s problems will not be erased simply by sending extra state money or granting special subsidies with few questions asked. Policies dealing with Detroit or any region of Michigan should contain a healthy dose of accountability and local responsibility. With that principle in mind, here’s where I stood on two recently-debated Detroit issues: Cobo Hall Expansion. Motel and hotel rooms taxes in Detroit and Wayne, Oakland and Macomb Counties will raise an estimated $6 million annually to help finance a 3200 million addition to Detroit’s Cobo Hall. An increase in the state liquor tax. from 8% to 12%, also will be used in part to repay the Cobo Hall expansion bonds. Under the liquor tax provision, $11.8 million raised in the tri-county region around Detroit will be used for Co bo. while the added liquor tax revenue in outstate Michigan, nearly $10 million, will be returned to the counties of origin for property tax reli ef or county budgetary needs. I voted for this plan. Enlarging Cobo Hall will in­ crease Detroit's convention business, provide more jobs and expand the city’s tax base. This is a selfhelp package, with added revenues raised in the Detroit region being used for needed economic development in the city. On the other hand, the liquor tax increase outstate may discourage some liquor consumption and will help to offset expected cuts in federal revenue sharing to counties. Detroit Equity Package and Magnet Cities, I^ast year a new, $4 million "magnet cities’’ program was created for certain outstate cities — with little definition as to how the grant money was to be spent, less accountability and no measurement of need. The primary purpose of the program was to gain the outstate votes necessary to approve a $32 million "Detroit Equity Package." I attempted to eliminate the magnet cities funding, warning that the program would grow in cost and sidetrack effor­ ts to hold Detroit more accountable for its spending of state "equity ” funds. This year the Senate refused to go along with a House-passed amendment holding the urban grant programs at last year’s levels. Detroit "equity” funding in 1986 will increase to $34 million. "Magnet cities” money will be hiked 50%, to $6 million, with eligibility expanded to all cities, villages and townships. The stated purpose of these programs is to support cultural, historical and tourism projects. In fact, the legislature has created a second, "few strings attached” revenue sharing program which the state can ill afford. Our urban areas have special needs, but funds should be distributed on the basis of those needs. And a more detailed accounting of how those funds are used ought to be made each year. F.

Tour of No-Till Field Crops Set The Barry County Cooperative Extension Service and the Soil Conservation District are sponsoring a “No-Till Crops Tour” on September 17. The event will begin at 1:00 p.m. on Barber Road just a half mile south of M-43 near Carlton Center. "It’s going to be an informal tour with everyone driving in an auto caravan,” says Bill Steenwyk, Extension Agriculture Agent. "We will be looking at corn planted no-till into an old sod, into wheat stubble, and com grown no-till after com for several years. We also hope to have some no-till alfalfa to view.” No-till com production has advantages for far­ mers in that it requires less time, since no tillage has to be performed. Also, says Steenwyk, "no-till has great long-term benefits in preventing the washing of precious topsoil from the land, and into lakes and streams where it pollutes the water. No-till isn’t the answer everywhere and in all situations, but can be adopted on many fields.” The tour will end between 3:00 and 3:30 p.m. The Soil Conservation District will provide refreshmen­ ts.

MxMlevM Ml I Sept. 12.18BS TK Fails to Score. Eagles Soar The Middleville Trojans will have a chance to ‘‘redeem” themselves for the hometown fans this Friday night when Comstock Park comes to town for the second game of the year. Last Friday night was a disaster when you look at the final score: Hudsonville 28, Middleville 0. The Eagles "took it to the Trojans” in fine fashion, racking up over 200 yards in rushing wth 13 first downs. Meanwhile the Middleville squad just wasn’t able to get it together, notching up only 75 Middleville JV’s Demolish Eagles Thirty to Zero The Trojan JV Football team journeyed to Hud­ sonville on Thursday to do battle with the Eagles. The young gridders returned home with a 30-0 score. The Trojan offense began on a sour note, as they fumbled the ball into an Eagle defender’s han­ ds on their first and second offensive series. On both occasions. Coach doug Ybema’s defense slammed the door on the Eagle offense. The first drive was stopped on the 15-yard line on a 4th and two situation. A horde of Trojans stuffed an Eagle run­ ner for ho gain to give the Orange and Black the ball, only to have the offense fumble two players later on the 20-yard line. The offensive miscue set the stage for the Trojans second defensive standing. In a 3rd and 4 situation, the Eagle offense called a dive right. Noseguard Chris Forsythe, stripped the Hudsonville runner of the ball, and defensive back, Lance Patnoude. scooped up the ball on the 5-yard line and rambled five yards before being brought down by the Eagles. On the ensuing offensive play, Trojan running back, Tim Mesecar, scampered 90 yards for a touchdown and the Orange and Black offensive machine was on the roll. The extra point conversion was successful as quarterback Brian Verlinde rolled left and fired a pass to tight end Ross Sprague for two points to have the scoreboard read Trojans 8 - Eagles 0. Mesecar scored second quarter and a Verlinde pass found the hands of Sprague to up the Trojan lead to 16-0. The Trojans found the goal line once more in the third quarter. Verlinde ran the outside veer right and wisely kept the ball for an untouched 15-yard score. A Verlinde pass was hauled down by Patnoude to enable the Trojans to go up 24-0. In the final quarter Verlinde connected with Tim Thom­ pson on a 16-yard screen play to round out the scoring. On the night, Mesecar rushed for 220 on 10 carries. Quarterback Brian Verlinde was 16-19 passing for 92 yards. Patnoude grabbed 6 passes for 43 yards, Ross Sprague hauled down 5 for 33 yards, and Thompson added a 16-yard catch. The Trojan offensive line of Dave Boshears, Ken Kares, Jeff Khuen, Steve Egleston and Roy Sidebotham kept the Eagle defense in check all night. Leading the defense in tackes was Patnoude with 13, Mark Irwin 7, Kevin Martinez 6, Chris Forsythe 6, Joe Misak 5 and Roy Sidebotham 5. This week the Junior Varsity travels to Comstock Park. Freshmen Open with Win The TK Freshman football team started the season last Thursday with a 22-12 victory at Hud­ sonville. Mike Smith scored three touchdowns, with Don Peters and Doug Mesecar adding extra points. Quarterback Mike Brotherton was 5 for 7 in the passing department, good for 47 yards. The freshmen will play at home against Kent Oc­ cupational High School on Thursday, game time is 5:00 p.m. The Middleville—Caledonia freshman game will be in Middleville on October 3. yards rushing and 10 yards in passing. Most observers felt the defense played a good game for the Trojans, and considering the time they spent on the field, they held the Eagles well with the exception of some big plays. Hudsonville’s Joe Smeenge scor ed a pair of first half touchdowns on rushes of 15 and 31 yards. By halftime the visitors led 15-0. Early in the third frame the Eagles struck again with another pass to Smeenge good for 16 yards and paydirt. The scoring was closed out by the Eagles in the fourth period when Brent Renk ema jammed in from the three yard line. Leading the Trojans in rushing was Chris G os set with 40 yards in five carries. One thing that really hurt the offense for TK was fumbled punt s (2), and interception and two other miscues - fumbles. Also bound to hurt in the future was the loss of backup quarterback for the T rojans, Mark Verlin­ de. He injured his elbow and his return to the season is doubtful at this time. Tk Girl’s Varsity Basketball Team Unbeaten The Middleville Girls Basketba 11 team opened its season on Tuesday, September 3 with a decisive 6127 victory over Lowell. Kim Koetsier led the TK team with 19 points, while Denise VanDuine chipped in with 9 points and played an excellent floor game. Brenda Page picked up where she left off lastyear by grabbing 10 rebounds and adding 8 points. Monique Weesie also played a fine game by gamering 8 points and 8 rebounds. Beth Steeby led the team with 4 assists, while Trena Yonkers played a fine all-around game with 6 rebounds and 6 points. Seniors Karmen Gray, all conference guard, and Kris Timm also played fine games, making it a total team effort. The Trojans second game on Monday. September 9, wasn't nearly as easy as the opener as the girls barely squeezed by Grand Baptist Academy 35-32 at our local gym. Koetsier again led all scorers with 17 points, and added 6 steals. Page and Weesie played fine defensive games and hauled in 15 and 11 rebounds respectively. Gray played her usual steady game with 6 rebounds and sunk the basket that put Middleville ahead with 1 Vi minutes left in the game. Van Duine again played a good floor game along with fine defense, while Steeby made some key in­ terceptions down the stretch to insure the victory. Although Middleville was plagued all night with poor shooting, the girls showed poise and character in winning their second game of the season. Inexperienced Trojan Golf Team Loses to Delton A young, inexperienced Middleville golf team lost a close match to the Delton Panthers on Tuesday, September 3 at Mullenhurst Golf Club. Both teams carded a 184 total and the fifth best score decided the match. Sophomore Mike Lytle was the match medalist with a 40.

Kelloggsville also gave Caledonia a good match to further complicate this year 's title chase.

On Monday the Benders, with Doris and Emmette Campbell, enjoyed attending the Allegan Fair, especially watching Mike Cam­ pbell driving a team of draft horses. The Pat Harrison family hosted a Harrison family get together on the Sunday before Labor Day with about 30 folks enjoying the days activities. Ab always, the evening ended with a bonfire and a hayride. Sounds fun! On Friday Tom and I. Francy, Jenny and John Tobin were in Shepherd to help Colleen Bremer with parking for a few hours, and to tow home Dave s old car. Just observing what they have to move after living four or five years in one place makes me shudder inside to think of sorting out more than 25 years and twelve-plus rooms of “things’’.... one of these days.... Tom and I were at the Gun Lake home of Clair and Dorothy Brog Saturday evening for the annual reunion of the former Carley Guild of the United Methodist Church. While it’s always nice to visit with the local folks we see occasionally, it s a special treat to visit with 'far-away' friends such as Elton and Clair Lawrence of Torch Lake. Bob and Betty Frost of Lake Odessa, Lois Finkbeiner of Jackson. Mary Ellen Hanson of Port Huron, and Mike and Edna Bender of Holland. We do thank the Brogs for making this gathering possible each year.

We are nearly halfway through the season and have two undefeated singles players. Deb Ploeg still has not had a close match this year. Julie DeMorrow had another tough match last week, but remained undefeated by winning the third set against a strong Kelloggsville player. Missy Rounds is undefeated at fourth singles, but has played some matches at second doubles, where she is also undefeated. Jennifer Geukes won two and lost one last week. Jennifer had a great match against Hamilton, but fell victim to a very quick player from Kelloggsville on Friday. All three doubles teams are also un­ defeated. Our first doubles team showed signs of improvement with a strong performance against Kelloggsville. Jean Stander and Melissa VerStrate played some of their best tennis Friday. We still have plenty of room for improvement at this point, but this team is beginning to make a move. Kris Wohlford and Missy Rounds will be a very Wanda Carpenter strong second doubles team, and will play this position for most of the season. Lisa Wolverton and Kathy Cooley have played very well so far. Kathy will be playing more fourth singles as the season progresses. Kathy won an ex­ citing match against Byron Center last week. Michele Errair will team up with Lisa Wolverton to hold down the third doubles position. We expect this to be another strong point for us this year. This week should be one of the most difficult. At this writing we are tied with Caledonia going into the last league match of the first round. We will break that tie on Monday. Wednesday we travel to Otsego. Thursday a strong Forest Hills Northern team will visit Middleville and Friday we will start The TK Girls' Cross Country team is composed of the second round by visiting Comstock Park. five runners.

Panthers Pull Off Final Quarter TD’s to Down Trojans For a while, at least, it looked like the Middlevilli Trojans were going to get into the win column for the 1985 season. But. last Friday night the Panthen of Comstock Park scored two touchdowns in the final period to defeat TK 14-8. After a scoreless first half. Middleville’s Mika Blair put the first point ton the board for TK whaa he plunged over from the one early in the third period. Quarterback Jerry Steele ran in for the two point conversion and Middleville led 8-0. Comstock Park, early in the final quarter, scored after blocking a Trojan punt deep in Middlevilli territory. It took them only five plays to hit paydirt ... and the wind out of Trojan fans. With only seconds left in the game, a Comstock Parker struck again and it was all over for the Orange and Black. Middleville had ten first downs for the day and only 157 yards in a ground game. Ten passes failed to net any yardage for the Trojans. Jon Moretti led the TK attack with 75 yards in 12 carries. Steele ac­ counted for 56 yardff in 18 tries. This Friday night Middleville travels to Godwit for their second Blue encounter.

A 6 yard pass from Brian Verlinde to Ross Sprague opened up the scoring for the Trojans in the first quarter. The same tandem connected for the two point conversion to open up an early 8-0 lead. In the second quarter, Verlinde made his only run of the night count as he bolted around right end for a 30-yard score. In the same period, Verlinde teamed up with Sprague for a 16-yard TD pass. Tim Mason went high in the air to haul down a Verlinde pass for the 2-point conversion. In the third quarter, Tim Mesecar raced to a 75 yard score and the extra point pass from Verlinde to Lance Patnoude was successful to finish the scoring. On the night, Verlinde was 14 for 16 passing for 92 yards. Sprague made 6 catches for 46 yards, Pat­ noude, 4 for 33 yards, Jeff Page 1 for 9 yards and Mesecar 1 for 3 yards.

Ml; Sapt. 19,19851 Pepe 9 Trojan Varsity Girls Find Trouble on Basketball Road On Wednesday, September 11, the Middleville Girls Varsity Basketball Team traveled to Delton and came home on the short end of a 58-49 score. TK jumped off to an early 17-11 first quarter lead, only to see it evaporate by halftime to a 35-30 deficit. The Trojans were only one point down at the beginning of the fourth, 44-43, and scored the first basket of that stanza to take their only lead of the second half. After Delton’s center, Jenny Dutcher, put in two 3-point plays in a matter of seconds, Delton took command of the game and won 58-49. Beth Steeby led Middleville scorers with 14 points while garnering 5 steals. Denise VanDuine chipped in 11 points and played a fine floor game both offen­ sively and defensively. Brenda Page and Monique Weesie led Middleville on the boards with 15 and 10 rebounds respectively. This was the first loss of the season for the TK girls. On Monday, September 16, the TK girls again played on the road at Maple Valley where they were defeated by the Lady Lions 51-43. The game was a see-saw affair with Maple Valley to an early 15-4 second quarter lead before Middleville caught fire and went up 27-25 at halftime due to a torrid Trojan press. The TK ladies extended their lead to 35-30 in the third quarter before Middleville fell victim to the Maple Valley press in the fourth quarter. Their season record now stands at 2-2. Brenda Page led the Trojans with 12 points and 13 rebounds, while Trena Yonkers played a fine all around game and chipped in 9 points. The girls open their conference schedule on Thur­ sday, September 26, and we hope all Middleville basketball fans will see TK try to upset last year s undefeated Comstock Park team. TK Junior Varsity Girls Chalk Up Two More Wins The TK JV Girls Basketball team added two W’s to their record this week. Playing very good basket­ ball, they defeated Grand Rapids Baptist 31-16 and Delton by the score of 39 to 34* In the G.R.

For the game, scoring for the Trojans were Heather Perry with 1 point; four players with 2 points apiece - Heather Hannapel, Pam Eaglen, Martha Funk and Debbie Hooper - Jennifer Frey scored 6, and with 8 points apiece were Shelly Gray and Missy Moretti.

Ward Bender and Paul Gibson ate out together Thursday night while the ladies were “travelling.” Saturday morning Dick and Curl Robertson of Brooklyn visited Ward and Jessie Bender - “one last time” * before they make an early exit to Arizona. The Benders celebrated the birthday of son Boyd on Sunday with all 14 family members home for dinner. A fun time. In the evening they visited Glen and Nancy Raymond. Tom, Brenda and Lindsay Bremer had Friday night supper with us, and the Dave Enders family were here for Sunday dinner. Time to start cooking something besides spaghetti sauce. I really enjoy the spicy smell of it, but it sure lingers on. Fall soccer games begin this Saturday for the young folks in the family - and in lots of your families too. Grandparenting keeps you learning new things and getting to new places all the time — but then every day is a new beginning if we allow it to be. We’ve certainly had some awesome sunrises this past week. USE SUN & NEWS CLASSIFIEDS! Fall Forum Friday At United Methodist Church On Friday.

Middleville Youth Football If you wanted to see some good football last Saturday, you should have seen the Middleville Youth Football games. The two teams invaded Ot­ sego and both left victorious. The 10-11 year old team, The Badgers, were just too tough for the Otsego team and walked away with an easy win. The 12 and 13 year old team. Middleville Raiders, played a much closer game with the Otsego team for a 22-20 victory. The score should have been higher but an inadvertent whistle brought back a 30-yard run for touchdown by quarterback John Schieb. (We know you made it, John.) Last week the Badgers defeated the Hopkins team at home and are now undefeated. The Raiders suffered a loss to the Hopkins Vikings, making their record 1 and 1. On Saturday the teams travel to Martin with the Badgers playing at 12:30 and the Raiders at 2:00. Good luck boys.

Darrel began with the Middleville office in August, 1954, and was named postmaster in April of 1977. During the years of service in the postal system, Darrel has seen the Middleville Post Office double in the number of patrons it serves. At the present time, Middleville has over 2200 patrons and four rural routes. “I remember when I started,” recalls the post­ master, “mailing Christmas cards for cents. Regular first class letters were three cents. ” During the past thirty years, said Darrel, the volume of mail has probably tripled. In February. 1981, the post office was moved from the downtown Masonic building to its present location on Broadway (M-37). When Darrel began work at the post office, Ivan Payne was postmaster. After his retirement. Darrel was the officer in c^ar^® unt-il Adrian Penninga was named postmaster. An officer-in-charge will be named when Darrel leaves, and a permanent postmaster will be appoin­ ted from those who apply within the system from the Grand Rapids region. “I have enjoyed working with the people,” said Darrel, “and will miss my daily contact with them. I won’t miss the paperwork’ involved, however.” His plans, although indefinite at this time, include continuing to golf, bowl and do some traveling. Darrel Willyard will soon end his mail sorting days.

IN THE SERVICE __________________ _________________________/ The Barry County Book Committee has been hard at work the past few weeks double checking the family history material returned to them by Taylor's Publishing Company of Dallas. In June, the Committee submitted 1,309 Barry County family histories to be published in an updated History Book of the County. The book will have a history of each township, besides histories of schools, churches, clubs, organizations, veteran’s lists and special tributes. The committee has been processing the histories about the same style one would do for a regular high school yearbook, except the history book will be 530-plus pages when completed. So far. too many problems have not been found that could not be corrected by the Committee, so the different deadline dates in the project continue to go smoothly.

It’s Monday 5:00 a.m. I got too gabby Sunday night with you folks I could get and those of you who had news, so had to get up early to write it up. I can't get news Monday evening any more bemuse I’m taking an adult class in computers I hope to buy a computer as soon as I’ve saved enough money. I’d better know a little about them, so when I go shopping for one I know what I want it to do and which does the job the best. Three of my youngsters work heavily with com­ puters and they've suggested I try each one out thoroughly before I decide. Pat sells IBM computers, the big ones, for big business concerns. Dave is in charge of the big com­ puter at Kelsey Hayes and has one personal com­ puter at home, also an IBM. He’s planning on get­ ting a Macintosh Apple computer for himself to do certain work he wants done. Jana has her own IBM at home, so I guess they know a little about com­ puters. Pat was saying to check each screen thoroughly because people with bifocals are bothered by certain screens because of lifting the head to read through bottom lens. I don’t know how to type, but that will be the first thing I want to learn. Then poor Lois won’t have such a time reading my scribbling of the news each week. I only hope I’m smart enough to change my men­ tal gears to the computer type of thinking and reasoning. Our kids jump right on it and and are so far ahead of us, it makes me feel stupid just thinking of it. I don't want a toy to play games with, but a good machine to help me organize and store all my history stuff. 'Nuff about the computer. So many of you had no news - you were busy, but nothing newsworthy. Pat Hilty came home from the hospital Friday. Says she's coming along beautifully from her surgery. Her family are spoiling her rotten, which she loves. They were hoping she would feel good enough to cook, because they are tired of their own cooking. Michelle came home from college for the week end. Michelle Vandal is in her dorm this week at Davenport. They’ve had orientation, because school started this week. Bob White's Mom, Ollie White, had Sunday sup­ per with them. Tracy and Greg Hindenach had an 8 pound 15 ounce boy September 4. Tracy works for Amway and is hoping to get a little more time off to be with her little guy. Pat and Glen Schondelmayer celebrated their 39th wedding anniversary at the home of their daughter, Diane and Rich Overmire in Caledonia. Pat said Diane prepared a scrumptious lobster meal. I had a nice talk with Mrs. Joe Hula. The Hastings Unemployment office is closing November 1. so our folks here in this area are going to have to go to either Battle Creek. Kalamazoo, or the Plainfield office in Grand Rapids. She says it’s going to be terribly inconvenient for area folks, also the local business people will lose business. I’m afraid I didn't pay any attention because it didn't concern me. Selfish attitude, I know, but I don t read the papers or listen, watch TV, so 1 hadn’t realized what it really meant locally. 1 certainly appreciated her bringing me up to date. Donna Cox sounded so much more chipper, more like her old self. She even got out several times this past week. Her son and grandson are arriving from California today for a visit, so she’s quite excited. We had a nice Thornapple Heritage meeting last F. JAMES BUDDE, D.D.S. JAMES E. REAGAN, D.D.S.

The Senate Select Committee on Civil Justice Reform was split into three subcommittees, and each dealt with a particular area: medical malprac­ tice, governmental immunity, and dramshop (or bar owner) reform. Public hearings on medical malpractice revealed a startling fact. Current malpractice premiums are endangering the availability and affordability of health care. It’s not just the doctor who feels the pinch when insurance rates climb. Those needing high-risk care, the poor and uninsured, and those living in inner cities and rural areas also suffer. Lawsuits against governmental units are also escalating, and with high er and more frequent awards comes higher insurance rates. That money doesn’t just appear out of thin air — it is the tax­ payer who pays the price. Bar and restaurant owners have also seen a dramatic increase in liability insurance rates due to the Dram Shop Act, which allows victims of ac­ cidents caused by drunk drivers to sue the establishment that served the last drinks. Rates have jumped from less than 81 per 8100 worth of drinks sold to about 87 per $100 in drink sales. Some bar owners have even been forced to leave the in­ dustry because of high insurance rates. The subcommittees' recommendations were made public recently. Though each of the subcommittees made specifically tailored recommendations, they all addressed six major problem areas, including “joing and several” liability which would be modified to base liability on fault rather than the ability to pay; the “collateral source" rule which would be modified to prevent double payment to in­ jured parties; structured payments of lawsuit awar­ ds which would allow the defendant to pay large judgments over a period of years; pre-judgment in­ terest which is modified to encourage quick set­ tlement of litigation; caps on non-economic awards which limit awards for pain and suffering; and frivolous lawsuit restrictions to control the increase in unnecessary cases clogging the judicial system. The Medical Malpractice Subcommittee also recommends: a pre-trial screening panel to process cases more efficiently; a reduced statute of limitations on childbirth malpractice suits; and strengthening peer review and licensing actions against negligent and incompetent health care providers. Additional suggestions from the Government Liability Subcommittee call for limiting the liability for low-level government employees. The Dram Shop Subcommittee recommends a mandatory training session for employees of licensed liquor establishments, increased liability for the last bar to serve a drunk patron, and formation of a self­ insurance pool. After months of study, now the real work begins — turning the recommendations into legislative proposals. Look for action on many of these suggestions in the coming months.

TK Freshmen Win Third Straight Game The TK Freshman football team won its third game of the season last week, defeating Godwin by a score of 36-6. The young Trojans took the opening kick-off and drove 65 yards with Mike Smith scoring on a 2-yard run. Don Peters added the extra points for an 8-0 lead. To begin the 2nd quarter, the center of the defen­ sive line blocked a Godwin punt that Don Peters picked up and ran for a 40 yard TD. Jim Thome then got into the endzone for the extra points. Quarterback Mike Brotherton scored the 3rd Trojan TD on a 3 yard run with Bryan Cooley ad­ ding the extra points and a 24-0 halftime lead. The next Trojan TD came on a 45-yard run by Thome. The last Middleville score came on a pass batted by defensive tackle Jack Rosenberg and intercepted by Mike Buehler who carried into the endzone. Godwin’s only score came on the last play of the game on a 20 yard pass. The Trojan defense played a fine game lead by some hard hitting tackles by Don Peters and 3 in­ terceptions by Brian Schafer. Middleville Youth Football It was a dark, drizzly day Saturday, but both of Middleville's Youth Football teams traveled to Martin with hopes of another win. Reports had depicted Martin as a tough team in both categories, the 12-13 year old class was undefeated and the 1011 year olds were 1-1. The Badgers started the day at 12:30 and the first second and third quarters ended with no scoring. With 2 minutes left in the fourth quarter, the Badgers finally punched a hole in Martin’s defense and six points went on the board. At the end of the game, the Badgers had 6 to Martin’s 0 to remain undefeated. At 2:00 the Raiders took the field and from the start it was plain to see it was the Raiders’ day. The team ran and passed like a well oiled machine. The defense was on the ball like a swarm of bees. The weather seemed to help rather than hinder. Several turnovers by Martin gave the Raiders every chance to score. At the end of the game the Raiders had 28 and Martin 0. Martin had not been scored on up to this game. The Raiders are now 2 and 1. Next week is a night game in Caledonia. The Badgers play at 6:00 p.m. and the Raiders at 7:30. You are invited to come Saturday night to watch some interesting football. ------------------------------------------------------------ - TK School Menus Week of September 30 k___________________ .___________________ / WEST I McFALL ELEMENTARY Monday: Barbeque beef, potato rounds, peaches.

MU S*. 211M51P* 7 George and Romaine Connors Caledonia Woman Wins Handmade Quilt from Iowa Mrs. George (Romaine) Connors of Caledonia is the proud owner of a beautiful quilt made and raf­ fled by nine women of Mallard, Iowa. The Connors’ sons, Don of Beaver Falls. Pa., and Jack of Pit­ tsburgh, Pa., are responsible for this lovely addition to their parents’ home. The two young men were members of an annual biking tour called “RAGBRAI”, which stands for “Register Annual Great Bike Ride Across Iowa”, sponsored by the Des Moines Register newspaper. The 8,800 cyclists traveled west to east from July 21-27 in this year’s 13th annual tour, covering 540 miles on mostly country roads. The riders would camp out in tents at the over­ night stops, usually in small towns across Iowa. Gear and baggage were trucked from stop to stop, which made the riding enjoyable for the bikers since they were not loaded down with extra weight. The people of Iowa were one of the major attractions; being very friendly and welcoming to the riders with food booths and camping facilities. At an overnight stop in Emmetsburg, the Mallard Women’s Club were selling raffle tickets for a com­ memorative quilt they had recently made. Don Con­ nors purchased three tickets: one for himself and two for his mother. In a newspaper the following day, he read the name of the winner — his mother! This quilt displays the state of Iowa in the center large block with the bicycle tour path labeled. The side blocks depict the distances and towns which the riders passed through with alternating blocks of farm scenery. Stitched bicycles outline the entire edge. Mrs. Connors is thrilled with the intricate work and pattern-planning of this colorful art piece. It will be a keepsake of her boys bicycle ride across the beautiful state of Iowa and a reminder of the talented, friendly women of Mallard.

Middleville broke a two-way tie with Caledonia which left the Trojans in first place. Caledonia was undefeated coming into the last match of the first round. Both teams were expecting a very close mat­ ch, but the young Trojans simply overpowered the Scots. The next match between Middleville and Caledonia will be played at Caledonia. Caledonia has an experienced team and will be ready to play some good tennis the next time around. Trojan singles players were very impressive, winning three mat­ ches in straight sets. The doubles teams were equally impressive. All three doubles team also won in straight sets. Thursday, Forest Hills Northern came to town with intentions of stopping the Trojan winning streak. Middleville was without Melissa VerStrate, a first doubles player. It took our girls nearly four hours to complete the match, but in the end, the Trojans prevailed with a 6-1 win. We are very proud of the effort put forth by our team in the Forest Hills match. Jennifer Geukes played some of the best tennis we have seen at second singles this year. Jennifer defeated her opponent in three sets. Julie DeMorrow also won against a very tough opponent, finishing her match at about 8 p.m. She also won a three-set match. Doubles players were not to be left out. Missy Rounds played especially well at first doubles after being moved up from her second doubles position. It was the first doubles match we have won at the net this year. We hope to see more good net play in the near future. The third doubles team of Lisa Wolverton and Kathy Cooley won a three-set match. Lisa played some fine tennis in the final set. We are proud of the way Lisa “took charge” late in the match. Kathy did a fine job of keeping Forest Hills “off balance” in the final set. Both players did an excellent job of keeping the ball deep, and playing aggressively at the net. Wins over Otsego and Comstock Park came of as expected. Kathy Cooley played a great match against Comstock Park in a losing effort. This week we play Godwin, Hamilton and Byron Center. The Trojans should finish the week at 13-0. We are trying to get ready for a big conference tour­ nament and a very tough regional tournament.

Mistakes by the Trojans were capitalized on by Godwin for all of their points. The first two points came when Mike Blair was nailed in his own endzone for a safety. In the second period, Godwin s Sean Ryan picked off a Jerry Steele pass and returned the interception 7 yards for six points. After the half, a 35-yard pass from Kevin Crittendon to Dan Belstra was good enough to make it 15-0. In the final period more TK miscues set up God­ win TD’s number 3 and 4. The Middleville offensive attack was limited to just 6 first downs and 55 yar­ ds rushing, and 80 yards passing for a total of 135. If is a big word, but “if” TK had been able to score when they got down to Godwin's endzone on three separate occasions, the outcome might have been different. However, the Trojans turned the ball over on Godwin's 8, 15 and three yard line to end any scoring threat. This Friday night the Trojans would like to “put it all together” and “find the handle.” If that hap­ pens, said Coach Keith Rhines, somebody is going to be in trouble. That somebody could be Hamilton on their field. • • JV Girl’s Basketball Team Continues With Great Season The TK JV Girls continued their fine start this basketball season by winning their last two ball games.

Oct. 26 - Regionals TK Junior Varsity Football Team Outscores Godwin 36-6 The Middleville Junior Varsity football team tallied its third win in as many tries when they downed a visiting Godwin squad 36-6. A fired-up Godwin offene drove the ball down the field in the opening series of the game, scoring on a 15-yard run. The two-point conversion was unsuc­ cessful, but the Orange and Black found themselves behind for the first time this season. A 45-yard punt by Tim Mesecar which came to rest on the Godwin 1 yard line seemed to turn the momentum toward the Trojans. From their own end zone, Godwin tried two dive plays, but nearly were dropped for a safety by the Trojan defense both times. On the third down play, Godwin quickkicked, but the ball went out of bounds on their own 15 yard line. An opportunistic Trojan offense wasted no time scoring on a one-yard run by Mesecar, who also ran across the two-point conver­ sion to give the Trojans an 8-6 lead which they would take into the locker room at half time. The Trojan offensive line physically wore down Godwin’s defense in the second half. In the third quarter the Orange and Black received the kick and scored in their first offensive series on an 18 yard run by Tim Thompson. The two-point, conversion was successful when a Brian VerLinde pass found Ross Sprague’s hands. Later in the quarter, Tim Mesecar scored on runs of 22 and 30 yards. Lance Patnoude grabbed a Verlinde pass for a two point conversion. The Trojan’s final score came later in the fourth quarter when Bob Dunkleberger took a Mark Irwin handoff and race 35 yards for a touch­ down. The offense rolled up 273 yards on the ground. Contributing to the effort were Mesecar with 126 yards, Dunkleberger, 93 yards, Thompson 45 yards, and Jeff Hooper with 9 yards. The Trojans defense held Godwin to 125 yards on the ground and no yards through the air. Leading the defense in tackles was Chris Forsythe with 15, Mark Irwin 11, Patnoude 9, Joe Misal 8, Doug Kingsley 6, Kevin Martinez 5, and Jeff Page with 5. This week the Orange and Black take on Hamilton at home. �Th. Sw «nd Nwn. Mkkfcv*.

Caledonia Junior Varsity Football Team Shuts Down Rockets The Caledonia JV Fighting Scot football team continued its fine play with a convincing 30-0 win over Kelloggsville last week. The win upped the Scots' record to 3-0 overall and 2-0 in the conference. The Scots were led by their talented tailback, Troy Shane and their bruising fullback, Mike Haughton. Shane ended the game with 190 yards rushing. 84 yards receiving, and he scored 2 touch­ downs. Naughton ended with 101 yards rushing, 2 touchdowns, and some crushing blocks. With all the success the Scots are having on offense this year, Coach Meerman still believes it’s his defense that is winning the games. "Our defense has been tough all year, explains Meerman. My defensive coordinator, Rich Moon, has those kids playing defense like you wouldn't believe. Leading the Scots defensively this year has been the great plav of linebackers Mike Bowen. Scott Gnass and Todd Jousma Other players doing a great job on defense are Rich Moon, 3 interceptions; Keith Tubergen and Marshall Pederson.

The Rockets were held to a total of 6 yards for the entire night's effor­ ts. The Fighting Scots were lead by a number of outstanding efforts. Tight End Gary Crosby had 5 receptions to overshadow the highly touted Rocket receiver Tom Snyden. Quarterback Bob Applegate was 7 for 12 and rushed for 24 yards on 5 carries. The rushing leader for the night was senior Steve Cox who had 2 touchdowns and three 2-point con­ versions for 18 points, and also added 171 yards in 27 attempts. The Fighting Scot defense is yet to be scored on this season and played a large part in two fumble recoveries, two interceptions and five QB sacks. The game opened up with Jerry Groendyke scoring from 11 yards out and Cox ran the 2 point conversion. Next, Cox scored from 34 yards out and added 2point conversion to make the score 16-0. Still in the second quarter, Cox scored again on a 2-yard run. The PAT pass from Applegate to Robin Wanzer was good to make it 24-0 at the half. Starting the third quarter, Bud Tolan hit Rocket QB Mike Merchant in the end zone and Roger Hill fell on the free ball for the TD. Crosby added the 2 points from Applegate to make it 32-0. Third quar­ ter action also saw a fine 4-yard TD catch by Gary Crosby to make it 38, and Cox’s 2-point conversion made it 40. The fourth quarter saw Caledonia's No. 2 offense dominate the Rockets and some fine running by Jerry Groendyke. The scoring drive was capped by an 11-yard run by Craig Mulder to make the score 46-0.

DPI-Oct. 1.1985 Luigi Bagaloni, world famous spaghetti sauce gourmet, who left the gold diggings of Brazil two weeks ago in order to be in Middleville on November 8 to attend the Rotary sponsored Spaghetti Dinner, has experienced tragedy on his way. Traveling on the back of his faithful donkey, Alfredo. Luigi, upon arriving at the Panama Canal, could find no tran­ sportation across it. So Luigi and Alfredo decided to swim across the canal. However, tragedy struck. Halfway across, the pair were run down by a Morovian Freighter. Luigi survived. Alfredo didn't. After a day of mourning at a local cantina, Luigi has resumed his trek towards Middleville where he will prepare his famous spaghetti sauce for the discer­ ning taste buds of the people of that fair village.

I wish we could bottle it for a bad winter day. But guess it’s a good thing we can’t. What a checker­ board of weather we'd have if we could decide what the daily weather would be. Saturday Cathy and Doug Hart went to their an­ nual birthday footbal game at MSU. Al and I^aVonna Sherman got together with Jackie and Max Bedford. The Jim Olivers visited their aunt Saturday. Leo and Beth Verlinde were in Midland for a couple of days for the induction into the Hall of Fame. Pretty neat, isn’t it. Jim Verlinde Jr. is back at MSU in an apartment this year.

Sue was fe* terested to see how he was managing the cmMml ! can remember when I found out that Car welkmg off boxed macaroni and cheese, (she never cared for cooking). Saturday the whole Lewis family attended Pat and Sheila Collins wedding. Because of such nice weather, the Koeplingers decided they’d better take advantage, so they rode 400 miles Saturday on their motorcycle, going to the east side of the state and back. They also rode on Sunday. Louise Elwood said Dorothy Bonneville’s oldest brother died. He lived in Plainwell. Louise Corson Pierce and grandson Matt Diepenhorst were Satur­ day evening dinner guests. It was Louise's birthday and her family were in and out to wish her a happy day Her granddaughter also called from California. The Chambers family attended Sheila Frost’s wedding at the Algonquin Bible Church. Sunday their church had a social hour to send Libby Sprnkle on her way to join her husband. Ralph Briggs said son Nathan brought two bud­ dies home with him from the service on a week end pass. Don Williamson had quite an interesting seminar. He left Thursday to attend the American Institute for Graphic Artists in Boston, so he was there when the hurricane hit. He said the mayor and all the town officials had passed a law forbidding anyone to be out on the streets. Don's room was on the 17th floor and the building had started to creak and groan. So everyone was down on the ground floor, with all the doors locked - from noon until midnight Mtfl the hurricane passed. The most damage was Our banking card isn’t just another card.

Don said they even brought in big semis and parked them by big store windows to help stop the breakage of glass. The of­ ficials of Boston did such a super job they should be commended for their quick and thoughtful care of their town. I know our son Pat called Friday during the day to ask for the process of making a baby bed bumper, and he was home due to the hurricane. Ron Cox and son Brian visited Rollo and Mae Bowerman Tuesday. Last week the Featherly family held their reunion at Spring Park with a pig roast. This week end the girls attended the football game at Pontiac. Sunday Mrs. Featherly and her daughter went out for din­ ner. Harold and Mary Noah. Kay and Melvin Noah spent Saturday up north, returning Sunday. It was so beautiful. Mary said they had a lovely time. lyla Norton said Wednesday she rode with Florence and Joe Fiala. Ame and Lib Palmer to Woodland to the Barry County Retired Teachers meeting. Thursday lyla had a personal interview on the follow-up of 16,000 participants country wide in the cancer detection and surgery program of 1976. There were a large number of Barry County residen­ ts who had been in the program, but lyla was the only one from Barry County who was interviewed in the 10-year follow up. It was generally to see how they dealt with having cancer. She said she had a 34page follow up to fill in, as well as oodles of questions from the interviewer. Then Ruth Hamilton was given many pages as to how she felt lyla was handling her life. Ruth is a member of the Barry County Cancer Society besides a friend and neighbor. Friday lyla Norton and Ruth Hamilton attended the United Methodist Turkey dinner. Friday night Ann Clinton and lyla ate out. Barbara Clinton went to California with friends and had several layovers because of snowstorms out west Jerry Stein, Phil Jahnke, Marie Grice and Patty Knorr (student teacher) took 90 students to Stiat ford, Canada (two busloads). They saw Shakespeare's “12th Night”. They had a wonderful day. Two exchange students also went along. Regina Stein and her mother went to Nashville, Tenn, this weekend. They Lynn Tolans had their Car Club Saturday evening with the annual bonfire and wienie roast. My sale is all done and I sold over two thirds of my stuff - so I have more room now to set up my history stuff. I think most of us felt like we were kicked in the stomach when we heard about Marj Mulford’s death this weekend. Let alone how her family felt. She was quite a gal and we’ll certainly miss her in the Sew n Sew Quilt Club. Also, the burning of Cliff Johnson’s house was quite a shock. Evelyn Allerding, their daughter, who has been living with them for 7 years to help care for her parents, had just brought over her big newspaper sized scrapbook she had just completed. Her mom had saved all these clippings for years, and Evelyn had gotten them all sorted and moun­ ted, and was so proud of both of the scrapbooks. This loss is only a small part, but it brought home to me how fortunate all the rest of us are, how im­ possible to replace your life’s accumulation. For­ tunately Cliff was up north and Evelyn was at work, so no lives were lost. Evelyn re-opened her home on Brown Road, so they have a home to live in. She hadn’t been there but a very few times since moving in with her parents. Someone said it nicely • “If I had to choose your or my troubles, I’d choose mine.” When 1 get to com­ plaining about things or my silly aches and paines, all I need to do is look around me, and I really am very fortunate and do not have problems. This stops and makes me realize how very fortunate I am, and believe you me, I stop it (for a while.) I think we all need to be brought up short to see how really fortunate and rich we are compared to most of the world. r'’GEUKES''l Custom Meat Processing Member FDIC 500 N.

Middleville Youth Football Middleville went to Caledonia for an evening game and the undefeated Badgers (10-11 year olds) found Caledonia too tough to handle. They suffered an 18-0 loss. It was plain to see the Badgers did not come to play football! The Raiders (12-13 year olds) took the field at 7:00 oclock and both teams were ready. Both scored in the first quarter with Middleville getting the extra two points. The next 3 quarters were a battle for ground. Although both teams made good drives, neither scored and the game ended Middleville 8 and Caledonia 6. This ended a five-year winning streak for Caledonia over Middleville. Next week the Badgers play Allegan at Caledonia at 9:00 a.m. and the Raiders have a bye.

Middtevrtte. MU Oct. 3, 1985 LANSING DIARY by PAUL HILLEGONDS 54th DISTRICT STATE REPRESENTATIVE Several bills have been signed into law by Gover­ nor Blanchard after receiving House and Senate ap­ proval earlier this year. Here are some of those new statutes, all of which I supported: Insurance Rating: Alcohol Abstinence . This measure allows insurance companies to add total abstinence from the comsumption of alcohol as one of the factors that can be used to establish rate classifications for Michigan drivers. Foreign Language Credit. This new law may en­ courage students to take advantage of opportunities outside of school to learn a foreign language. The act authorizes school districts to grant academic credit for such experience. Coordinating Elections For library districts whose boundaries coincide with those of school districts, this act grants the option of holding elec­ tions for library trustees at the same time as school board elections. Tax Anticipation Notes. The Municipal Finance Act has permitted municipalities to issue notes in anticipation of taxes to be collected in the current or next fiscal year. This amendment reduces from GET A TASTE OF FRIENDLY SERVICE... deserve it! Why settle for anything less? Come sample banking the way you want it to be...convenient and pleas­ ant. Our staff is glad to serve you with everything from good advice to high interest savings ac­ counts...low-cost loansand more! Stop in! STATE BANK of CALEDONIA with offices in Caledonia and Dutton 150,000 to 50.000 the population which a city must have in order to issue tax anticipation notes. Another amendment incudes townships of at least 50.000 residents under the act. Handicapper Parking. This new provision makes it clear that out-of-state handicappers visiting Michigan who possess certificates of identification or special license plates may park in designated handicapper parking spaces Farm Loan Increase. Earlier this year, lawmakers enacted a measure providing low-cost loans to Michigan farmers by the investment of state funds in private lending institutions at a lower rate of return. Because of the immediate demand for the 170 millinn made available to hard pressed farmers, an amendment reversing the investment cap to SI39 million was enacted. The taxpayer cost of the ad­ ditional .subsidized loand will be $2 million. Settling a State-County Dispute. County mental health departments are required to pay 10’% of the cost of caring for county residents at state mental health facilities. In a long-festering dispute, state officials have been attempting to collect $8.2 million of accrued liabilities from counties which were caused by administrative changes in state billing practices. This act is part of a package to firgive the county debt - resulting in a cost shift from county budgets to the state budget. Limiting Who can Recover Damages. This new statute seeks to reduce the cost and complexity of litigation when a person without a will dies as a result of another party 's negligence or wrongdoing. The measure narrows the class of relatives of the deceased who may sue to recover damages caused by the wrongful death. School Board Meeting Reimbursement. State law had limited the amount a school board could com­ pensate its members to a maximum of $30 per meeting. This amendment permits a school board to raise that amount per meeting, but only after a public hearing is held, and a vote by board s mem­ bers is taken. The measure also allows parents who live in one school district and wish to transfer their children to another district the right of appeal to the state if the intermediate school board fails to act on the transfer request within 60 days. Pensions in Divorce Judgments. This package amends the divorce statute to require that all rights in vested retirement benefits accrued during marriage would be considered part of the marital estate subject to possible award in a divorce judgment or child support order. CAPITOL COLUMN by RICHARD POSTHUMUS STATE SENATOR Public schools around the country are trying to upgrade their programs, improve student perfor­ mance, and provide for greater accountability. Senate Republicans have made education a top priority and one step toward that goal is the passage of Senate Bill 195. SB 195 establishes a minimum competency test as a requirement for receiving a high school diploma. Students would have to reach at least the 10th grade achievement levels set by the State Board of Education and the requirement would become effective in 1992 State Education Department officials would work with other state education organizations in developing a test for local school districts, focusing on the basic skills of math and English, and weeding out cultural bias in the test. District may choose their own test as long as it meets criteria set by the State Board. Students are currently given assessment tests in the 4th. 7th and 10th grades. Under the new legislation, if they meet the 10th grade level, they would not be required to pass additional testing. If they don’t meet the minimum levels, they could get help in problem areas and take the test again when it was regularly offered by the school district. Other education initiatives are in the works, in­ cluding greater teacher competency testing and a required major or minor in the subject area an in­ structor teaches. True reform takes even more cooperation — from administrators, legislators and education decision­ makers across the state and across the nation. Set­ ting minimum achievement levels can start us in that direction by focusing communities, parents and teachers on achievement. IN THE SERVICE Anthony R. Plants Mr. Anthony R. Plants has entered the United States Air Force’s Delayed Enlistment Program. According to SSgt P.J.Berridge, Jr., the Air Force recruiter here, his entry into the DEP allows the AnForce to schedule an opening for him to attend basic training and be assigned to a job or skill area Mr. Plants is a 1985 graduate of Thornapple Kellogg High School and will enter the U.S.A.F. on June 3, 1986.

Boy Scout Troop 105 will be participating in several upcoming events. This weekend, 20 boys, adults and Webelos Cub Scouts will participate in the Jubilee Camporee at Grand Valley State College along with 5200 other scouts and former President Ford. The boys will also participate in a district “Hooray for Halloween” at Caledonia wide Pioneer Days at the end of the month.

Ml / Oct 3, 1985 / Page 7 Program Available On Prevention of Child Abduction Attorney General Frank J. Kelley and State School Superintendent Phillip E. Runkel recently announced the start of a comprehensive “Protect Our Children” for parents and children to learn about preventing child abduction. “The Protect Our Children program was developed during the last few months to heighten awareness in the schools and homes of our state about how to prevent child abduction." Kelley said, “While the numbers may vary on just how many children are abducted each year, this program is designed as a preventative measure encouraging parents and children to sit down and discuss the matter together.” “This is an educational program. Runkel said, “it is not intended to scare anyone. It is intended to remind parents and children that child abduction is a serious matter, and that should be discussed. The more that both parents and children learn about prevention, the better off we all are. ” The program developed by the Offtce of Attorney General, in cooperation with the Michigan Depar­ tment of Education, will enable children in both public and non-public schools to obtain the brochure, take it home and discuss it with their familyl. “The brochure is very readable for parents and understandable for children," Runkel explained. “The points made are oftentimes common sense, but this is one of the Arst of its kind to put that infor­ mation in one package. I believe it is a must for all families in this state with school age children." “As the chief law enforcement officer of this state, the Attorney General’s office is often called in after the fact. This program is designed to do something before tragedy strikes. " Kelley said. The brochures and posters are available to any in­ terested individual or group by contacting the At­ torney General's Office or their local school. (9.

Trojans Snap Losing Streak by Blanking Hamilton TK Junior Varsity Wins Four Straight It’s much more fun to win. and if you don’t believe that, ask the current Middleville Trojan football team. Last Friday night they snapped a three-game losing streak to blank the Hamilton Hawkeyes on their field. 16-0. The first three games this season had been plagued by turnovers on the part of the Trojans, but Friday they turned a Hamilton fumble into a touch­ down. Ah. sweet revenge! TK’s Scott King picked up the Hamilton fumble on the 20 yard line and scooted in for six points. The defense for Middleville — ever felt throughout the night — stuck the Hawkeye ballcarrier in his endzone for a safety and two pts. Bob Caldwell. Brad Barnard and Jay Porteous were credited with the sack. After a scoreless third period, Middleville ground out a 15 play attack that accounted for six more points. Jon Moretti capped the drive with a plunge over from the one; Jerry Steele hit Mark Tasker for the two point conversion making the final score. 16zip. The Trojan “D” held the Hamilton attack to 13 first downs, with only 59 yards rushing and 94 yar­ ds passing. Meanwhile the Middleville offense had nine first downs. 138 yards on the ground and 55 in the air. Leading the Middleville rushers was Mike Blair with 80 yards on 15 carries, followed by Moretti’s 51 yards in 16 carries. Coach Keith Rhines has one thing going in his favor for the remaining season. The three toughest teams on their schedule were the first three games. The Trojans have the potential, feels the coach, to complete the season with five wins. This Friday night will be Homecoming for the Trojans and their fans at Bob White Field. Also to be honored will be the 9-0 Middleville team of 1975 and their cheerleaders. Game time, against the Byron Center Bulldogs, will be 7:30 p.m. Frosh Remain Undefeated The TK Freshman football team remained un­ defeated with a 22-6 victory over Zeeland on Thur­ sday. The Trojans got on the scoreboard on a 28yard TD run by Mike Smith, and the extra points on a pass to Dirk Strater for an 8-0 lead. Zeeland came back to score late in the first quarter to make the score 8-6. TK marched the ball 65 yards to score on a 7 yard pass from Mike Brotherton to Doug Mesecar for a 16-6 halftime lead Mike Smith scored the final touchdown on a 60 yard run to put the Trojans ahead 22-6. The defense again played a fine game, holding Zeeland to a total of 150 yards. Weather Postpones Tennis Action For Trojan Players The TK Girls Tennis team won only one match last week as rain caused two postponements. God­ win will come to Middleville October 8 for a make-up match. Hamilton will complete a match at Mid­ dleville next week. Middleville was leading in the Hamilton match by a score of 3-2, when darknesa fell over the Trojan courts. Jennifer Geukes and Julie DeMorrow will be the deciding points in that match. We need one of these two to win in order to secure our next win. The Trojans defeated Byron Center last Friday. Katie Elies was asked to play the fourth singles position against Byron Center. Katie responded with a 6-1, 6-2 win. Other players played as expec­ ted, winning in straight sets. This week we will have two big matches. The first will be against Kelloggsville and the second against second place Caledonia on their home courts. If the Trojans can win these two, it would secure their third straight OK Blue title. Saturday we will be going to Riverview Racket Club to compete in the conference tournament. The Trojans will be the favored team, and should win the majority of flight championships, Last year the Trojans won all four singles flights, as well as all three doubles flights. This year we will be trying to win at least five of the seven flights.

Middleville’s Tim Mesecar received the Hawkeye punt and sprinted 70 yards for another Trojan score. Chris Forsythe threw a crushing block on the play to break Mesecar into the opening. Early in the third quarter, Mesecar raced around right end and into the endzone for a 50 yard score.

Caledonia and Hastings busy containing the blaze to the structure. The bam housed steers and heifers on the Rob-len farm operated by Robert Wenger and his sons. The home of son Martin was adjacent to the bam and was kept from burning by quick action of the firemen. The family car and a recreational vehicle parked between the bam and house were destroyed, however. All of the cattle in the barn escaped, as the yard adjacent to the bam was upwind from the fire. They have been relocated, said Wenger, at the Phil Ben­ der farm nearby. About 4 a.m., another Middleville Farmer, Frank Bruinsma. was working in his fields west of the Wenger farm when he saw the blaze. He went to the Martin Wenger house and woke the family. Burned in the bam were about 400 bales of hay, said Wenger. Power to the Prairie area was in­ terrupted for about 350 Consumers Power customers due to the fire. The power outage was from 6:15 until 8:50 a.m., said a Consumers’ spokesman. The cause of the fire is still under investigation. Employees of Middleville Manufacturing Division of Simp non Industries were commended for the second year in a row for their efforts as a supplier of Caterpillar Trac­ tor.

Did you folks have a nice week. Most of you were sure busy, but as one person said, "Can’t remember what I was doing • but I was busy ail the time. But nothing newsworthy.’’ ' Got hold of two-thirds of you. Not a great deal news I guess we re all going along meeting the problems or joys as they come along, being satisfied that our problems didn’t knock us off our feet • but grateful to God that He gave us the strength to handle them with love and understanding. Grateful, also, that they were not stumbling blocks but step­ ping stones on our upward and forward path. We re grateful even when we are on our knees and can say "Thank you Father for the strength to see them in the correct perspective. Release them, bless them and let them grow." And so pleased with the fullness of our learning experiences. It's a wonderful world, isn’t it. Michelle Vandal was home for the week end.

One item told of an Iowa insurance firm which writes over 60,000 policies in Michigan, moving out of state due to high costs and unfavorable state laws. Over 70 employees of the company will be laid off as a result. Another told about a doctor who decided to move his family and practice to Ohio after learning his malpractice insurance would cost between $75,000 and $100,000. In Ohio, a similar policy will cost $13,000. These types of stories prompted the Senate to create a Select Committee on Civil Justice Reform to study the problem of rising insurance rates for governmental units, doctors and bar owners. Com­ mittee members learned it was consumers who were suffering, with reduced access to health care ser­ vices, higher property taxes, reduced local gover­ nment services, and cost-prohibitive liability in­ surance. Members of the committee spent the summer hearing testimony about the crisis Michigan faces in GET A TASTE OF FRIENDLY SERVICE... deserve it! Why settle for anything less? Come sample banking the way you want it to be...convenient and pleas­ ant. Our staff is glad to serve you with everything from good advice to high interest savings ac­ counts...low-cost loans- - ■ and more! Stop in! the liability area They then came out with a number of recommendations designed to alleviate the proble and, most recently, have introduced a 19-bill package to implement those recommendations. In the area of governmental liability, the package includes legislation giving lower-level employees the same protection as upper-level employees when legal action is taken against them, abolishing "joint and several liability" for those at minimal fault, set­ ting a cap on non-economic losses, and providing for structured, gradual awards. Other parts of the package include legislation amending Michigan’s Dram Shop Act. which regulates drinking establishments, including: creating a self-insurance fund for licensed liquor sellers: increasing penalties against bars for selling alcohol to a minor and against minors who try to buy; requiring mandator*- server training and cer­ tification on how to handle drunk patrons; allowing structured awards; and amending “joing and several liability " only for the degree of fault. Legislation reforming medical malpractice guidelines includes: setting penalties for tampering with hospital records to erase proof of a physician's error; a cap on non-economic losses; statute of limitations on claims; structured awards; automatic license review of doctors paying at least $200,000 in three malpractice awards over 10 years; abolishing “joint and several liability" for defendants less than 50 percent negligent; and putting limits on expert witnesses. Insurers, insurees. and many residents across Michigan are looking to the Legislature to bring this snowballing situation under control. The legislation which Senate Republicans sponsored recently is an important start in that direction. State Issued I.D. Cards to Call for New Requirements New procedures and requirements designed to improve personal identification cards issued by the Department of State, go into effect October 1. Personal identification cards are the same size and color as driver licenses and are issued on request. More than 600,000 such cards have been issued sin­ ce 1976, when the Department of State was given responsibility for identification cards. Secretary of State Richard Austin said the depar­ tment will implement the following changes, effec­ tive this week: • computerize the records of identification cards issued on or after October 1, 1985. Previously this was done manually. - Issue identification cards only to those in­ dividuals who do not have a driver license. Previously anyone could apply. - Issue identification cards for a period of four years. Previously they were issued for an indefinite period. In addition. Austin said that all current cards now in possession of individuals will expire on the car­ dholder's birthday in 1987. Although a driver license is not intended as iden­ tification, it has been used more and more during the last two decades for identification purposes between parties in private transactions. Individuals who do not have a driver license often encounter difficulty in identifying themselves. Asa result, in 1972, the state began issuing iden­ tification cards to individuals on request. However, the identification cards were not as widely accepted for identification by the business community as driver licenses. Austin said the new rules and procedures should make the identification card more acceptable.

IN TOUCH BY REPRESENTATIVE BOB BENDER Liability Crisis Continues As Fall Session Begins Did you hear the one about the guy who was hit by a Pepsi truck at the age of 16 causing him to become a transexual? He was awarded a $1.7 million settlement for that occurrence, Or, how about the guy who fell asleep at the wheel of his truck, ran into a bridge abutment, broke a few bones, and collected $325,000 from the State Department of Transpor­ tation because they failed to erect a guard rail? These, and many other horror stories, have con­ tributed to the current liability crisis in our state, and attempts to address the issue will occupy much of our time in the fall legislative session. The crisis affects the health care interests in the form of medical malpractice costs; governmental liability, which affects all units of government in­ cluding schools, townships, counties, etc., and the “dram shop" — liability affecting the dispensing of liquor whether from a bar, beer tents at community functions, organizations, or even serving drinks in private homes. Many possible solutions have been advanced which are generally designed to benefit the par­ ticular interest involved. I believe a more reasonable approach is to attack the problem in a broad fashion that will apply to all interested parties. The goals of such reform should be to make liability coverages available at rates that are affordable under the cir­ cumstances. Three general areas that should be ad­ dressed. in my view, are: 1) Impose reasonable limitations on awards so that plaintiffs are not overcompensated for injuries, and defendants are not made to pay more than their fair share of damages. 2) Encourage changes that reduce risks for which liability coverages are needed through requiring more care by the average citizen and professionals, and by encouraging technological innovation. 3) Make the Michigan Market more attractive for insurance. As I mentioned, there are already a number of specific proposals floating eround that address various aspects of the problem, and there will un­ doubtedly be many more run up the flagpole in the coming weeks. I will attempt to keep you informed as we wade through these proposals in an attempt to reach solutions. While theee reforms may be easier said than done, the magnitude of the problem ia such we cannot ignore, bet must act expeditiously. LANSING DIARY by PAULHILLEGONDS 54th DISTRICT STATE REPRESENTATIVE \_ _________ _> Here are more bills which passed both the House and Senate earlier this year, and have recently been signed into law by the Governor. I voted “Yes” on the following. Sales Tax on Church Vehicles. The new statute exempts from the sales tax vans or buses designed for ten or more passengers when such vehicles are purchased by churches or houses of religious wor­ ship and are to be used for religious purposes. Police Badge Possession. Crimes involving the misuse of law enforcement badges are reportedly in­ creasing. Until the enactment of this measure, it was legal for a citizen to possess or sell the badge of a police agency. Now it is a misdemeanor for anyone but a law enforcement officer to possess a badge or a facsimile, unless persons such as police retirees or collectors keep such badges in display cases. Bee Quarantine. Given the economic importance of bees in our state and growing concern about the spread of bee diseases in several southern states, the legislature passed a measure giving the Department of Agriculture authority to move quickly to quaran­ tine bees or control their shipment from other states, should action become necessary Fair Ballot Rotation. An amendment to the state election law, the new provision requires that, “as reasonably as possible.“ no candidate's name ap­ pear at the top of a ballot more often than any other candidate for the same office. Eliminating Excess Licensing. Mobile food ser­ vice units have had to return to a licensed food commissary every 24 hours, or be licensed as a tem­ porary food service requiring a different license in every county. The new act eliminates the 24 hour requirement and establishes a unified licensing procedure for transitory food units. Keeping the Prepayment of the Gasoline Sales Tax. In 1983, the state lost about $6 million in sales tax revenue because unscrupulous gasoline retailers were filing fraudulent returns or evading the tax completely — and were undercutting honest dealers. A 1984 statute requiring the prepayment of the sales tax by retailers and wholesalers has worked ef­ fectively to reduce fraud. Lawmakers voted to con­ tinue a nationally-praised system. Sales Tax on Charter Buses. This statute gives private charter bus companies the same diesel fuel tax exemption that public bus operators have received to transport passengers over regularly scheduled routes. Revised Swimming Pool Permit Fees. A growing number of health clubs and spas have multiple pools or hot tubs. To address that trend without unduly reducing the revenue needed to provide public health inspections of such facilities, lawmakers reduced permit fees for multiple pools at the same site, but increased fees for late renewals by pool owners. Correcting Property Tax Errors. Until the passage of this amendment, local boards of review were required to meet once a year in December to correct any clerical errors in property tax assessments or rates of taxation. Recognizing the increasing number of local governmental units now collecting property taxes in the summer, the law will now require local boards of review to meet in July as well as December to make needed corrections. Camp Deer Hunting Policy. The regulation of camp deer hunting had been fixed by statute. A new law will allow the Natural Resources Commission to establish camp deer hunting policy by ad­ ministrative rules, thereby enabling the state to respond more flexibly to fluctuations in herd size and the effect of deer herds on the environment.

Hamilton finished in second place with 19 points. Trojan Junior Varsity Rolls Over Byron Center 38-8 The Trojan Junior Varsity football team made it five in a row by downing Byron Center 38-8 on Thursday night. The powerful orange and black dominated the game after spotting the Bulldogs an 80 lead. The of­ fense ran 59 plays compared to 29 by the Bulldogs. The Trojans rushed for 188 yards and passed for 145. On defense. Middleville recovered 4 Bulldog fumbles, intercepted a pass, blocked a punt, scored a touchdown and held Byron Center to 67 total yards on offense. Mark Irwin turned in an outstanding defensive performance. At linebacker Mark intercepted a pass, blocked a punt, caused a fumble and collected 7 tackles. Defensive tackle Bob Dunkleburger aler­ tly snatched up Irwin’s blocked punt and scooted 36 yards for a third quarter touchdown. Noseguard Chris Forsythe lead the defense in the tackle department with 13. Other Trojan teammates collecting tackles were Terry Bowen 9, Roy Sidebotham 8, Dunkleburger 7, Lance Patnoude 6 and Jeff Page 5. Bowen collected two bulldog fum­ bles and Andy Cummings* one. Brian Verlinde completed 13 of 17 passes for 3 touchdowns and 3 extra points. Ross Sprague opened up the scoring through the air when he caught a Verlinde aerial and raced 45 yards to paydirt, breaking 4 tackles on the way. Ross added an 8 yard score and two extra point conversions. Patnoude hauled in a Verlinde pass and ran over the only Bulldog in his way for a 25 yard score.

Running back Tim Mesecar surpossed the 100 yard mark for the fifth time in as many games to raise his season rushing yardage to 716 yards. Mesecar has intercepted three passes and returned them for 150 yards and one score. Tim has 180 yards in returned punts and one score along with 50 yards with of catches and a two point conversion through the air. Much of Mesecar’s success comes from his ability to work hard in all phases of the game. Run­ ning mate Tim Thompson has proven to be a valuable asset to the Trojan offense as a tough short yardage runner and as the bruising lead blocker that blasts holes open for Mesecar. Thompson was hit by two Bulldog defenders on the two yard Thursday night and carried them into the endzone with him for the two point conversion. Running back Jeff Hooper, who had 22 yards rushing on Thursday, earned his way into the bench press power club with a lift of 203 pounds.

FOR RENT ] USE SUN & NEWS CLASSIFIEDS! Comstock Park and Caledonia tied for third place with 18 points, and Kelloggsville was right behind with 16 points. Godwin and Byron Center finished 6th and 7th respectively. Deb Ploeg won the conference championship at first singles, again defeating the best that league teams can put on the court. Deb has won the top singles flight three straight years, and still has her senior year ahead of her. In winning her title. Deb lost only one game, that coming in the second set of the championship match. Jennifer Geukes won her third singles titles in as many years. Jennifer was the favorite entering the tournament, but had been defeated during the season by an all-conference player from Kelloggsville. Jennifer had a first round bye. She then defeated Hamilton 6-0, 6-2. In the finals Jen­ nifer lost the first three games, but came back to win the next 12 of 13 games to win her third straight singles crown. Julie DeMorrow was undefeated going into the tournament at third singles. Julie had a first round bye and then was defeated by Kelloggsville. Julie went on to win the consolation round with wins over Caledonia and Byron Center. Those two wins added two points to the team total. Kathy Cooley added two points with a first round win over Byron Center. Kathy played extremely well to advance to the semi-finals, where she was defeated by the eventual champion. Our first doubles team of Jeanine Stander and Melissa VerStrate played the most exciting match of the day, winning the conference championship with a 7-6, 7-6 win over Hamilton. The Hamilton team was undefeated going into the tournament. Jeanine and Melissa played some of the best tennis of the year during the course of the day. We were happy to see these two play so well on such a big day. Missy Rounds and Kris Wohlford stayed un­ defeated for the season. This team lost only two games in winning their conference title. Both players are playing good all around tennis, but their strength has been in an aggressive net game. The third doubles team didn’t look as if they should be playing third doubles. Lisa Wolverton and Michele Errair played their best tennis of the year as they rolled over two teams that have given them some problems during the year. A semi-final win TK Varsity Soccer Falls to Delton The Trojan Varsity soccer team traveled to Delton on October 1 and were defeated 5-0.

The teams face their stiffest competition Thursday against Caledonia. Both Caledonia teams are undefeated and are favored to win the conference. They should be good meets. On Saturday the teams run in the Rockford Invitational over Kelloggsville (6-1, 6-0) and the finals win over Caledonia (6-1,6-2) was most impressive. If our doubles teams can put together another day like they had last Saturday, the Grand Rapids regional should be very interesting. This Friday we will travel to Kentwood for our regional tournament. Calvin Christian is a big favorite. South Christian is expected to finish second. Neither Calvin or South will be taking our young Trojans lightly. Last week’s results: Middleville 6 Kellogg.ville 1 1st singles - D. Ploeg won 60. 60 2nd singles - J.

Trojans Come Up on Short End Against Bulldogs The Byron Center - Middleville football varsity football game last Friday night saw each team dominate a half; unfortunately for the Trojans their half was a touchdown shy, 21-14. Byron Center came on in the first half of the game with 21 points, answered by TK’s 14 in the second. And, with only 39 seconds left Middleville drove in for the tying TD, only to have it called back because of a motion penalty. It was homecoming for Middleville Alumni, and with the rainswept night and the Bulldog domination in the first half, the local fans had little to cheer about. Byron Center scored on first quarter runs of 71 and 6 yards. In the second period the ‘Dogs added to their lead by a 3 yard run into the endzone. It was a more determined Trojan team that took to the field in the second half. Mike Blair drew first blood by scoring on a one-yard lunge, cutting the BC lead to 21-6. Early in the final period, Larry Steele ran 12 yards into paydirt and narrowed the gap to 21-14. It looked as if that tying TD would bring life to a dying Trojan cause, but with the penalty, the Bulldog defense stopped a one yard run and forced a dropped pass. Coach Keith Rhines commended that his team played the second half like “we knew how to play football.’’ In the statistical department. Middleville held a slight edge over their visitors. TK had more first downs (14-8) and more passing yards (78-24), but trailed in the rushing yards (178-152). Jon Moretti led the Trojans with 66 yards in 16 carries. This Friday night Kelloggsville will be the Trojan opponent at the Rocket ’s field. �The Sun and Mews, Mridterih, Ml I Oct 10,. 19851 Page 9 Lady Scots Take Sole Possession of First Place The Caledonia Girls Cross Country team con­ tinued their undefeated dual meet season with a 1738 victory over the Hamilton Hawkeyes.

In the dark of night Luigi made his way to the western shores of Nicaragua where he was able to obtain passage on a fast boat headed north. The little gourmet was put ashore in Acapulco where the annual Cliff Diving Championship is being held. Since a part of the festivities includes a spaghetti dinner sponsored by the Rotary Club of Acapulco, the Acapulconians were delighted to have Luigi participate in their celebration. The cliff diving championship will be seen on network TV this week Saturday. Luigi will be present wearing a Tee Shirt that says, “Mid­ dleville ora bust!” Watch for him. The Rotary Spaghetti Dinner is set for Friday evening. November 8, at the TK High School cafeteria. Tickets on sale by Rotarians are S3 for adults and $2 for children (12 and under). Proceeds from the dinner go to fund the Diamond Jubilee Scholarship given annually to a TKHS senior. Heritage Group Makes Apple Butter Last Saturday the Thomapple Heritage Association met at the home of David and Lorraine Otto for a day long session of apple butter making. The day began at 7:00 a.m. with Dave Otto making a fire under the 30-gallon copper kettle to boil down the necessary cider. With the arrival of the first of the party (about 10:00 a.m.) the five bushels of peeled, cored and sliced apples was added to the cider in small batches. With the introduction of the apples, the stirring began and was continued without interruption until 5:00 p.m. when the apple butter was complete. This took many hands and several hours, but after a bowl of stone soup prepared by the ladies, and home made donuts, everyone enjoyed hot biscuits with apple butter, and each participant took home a quantity of the product for freezing and serving at their own table.

TK Sixth Graders Collect to Recycle As a science class project, the TK Sixth graders collected over 1,600 bottles and tin cans for recycling during their chapter on Resources. They learned the importance of recycling certain types of materials and to put this into practice to see which class could collect the most items. The winning class was seventh hour with over 800 items collected in two weeks. The sixth graders would like to remind everyone that we are using up our resources at an alarming rate and you can help by recycling your glass bot­ tles, tin cans, and aluminum materials.

Fri. 10 am fl pm �Page 4 / The Sun and Newt, MiddMk Ml / Oct 17,1985 — LANSING DIARY by PAUL HILLEGONDS 54th DISTRICT STATE REPRESENTATIVE One of the new laws which I opposed earlier this year was Public Act 96, a measure which will prevent the transfer of *90 million into the state’s “rainy day fund." Instead the money will be used for prison construction over the next two years. Cer­ tainly more prison space is needed, but a com­ bination of bonding and general fund appropriations should have been used to pay for the building projects. Raiding the “rainy day fund” will mean there will be a smaller fiscal cushion needed to con­ tinue state services and ward off calls for increased taxes during the next economic recession. The following bills were also signed into law recently. These measures I supported: Interest Rate on Unlawful Assessments. The in­ terest which local governments must pay on proper­ ty tax refunds for overassessed property is lowered by this act. from 12% to 9%. Victims’ Rights. Victims of crimes have new rights in Michigan, including: mandated infor­ mation from and consultation with local prosecutors regarding pre-trial sentence negotiations, jury selec­ tion, a prisoner’s status such as notice of escape. consideration or parole or release. Also, courts are now authorized by statute to order that criminal defendants make restitution to their victims for physical emotional or financial harm. If restitution is ordered, compliance by the criminal must be a condition of parole. Public School Employees’ Retirement. Lawmakers overhauled the retirement act for public school employees in order to increase health care coverage and other benefits — and raise the payroll contributions by covered employees, thereby placing the revised system on a sound financial basis. Dissenting Stockholders’ Share Valuation. Under state law. a shareholder who dissents from a plan­ ned corporate merger or consolidation has a right to receive from the corporation the fair value of his or her shares. A new provision will enable courts hearing valuation cases to appoint referees to hear arguments and provide recommendations in what often are time-consuming, complicated disputes. Single Business Tax Treatment of Royalties. Amendments to the SBT will shift the taxation of oil and gas royalties from companies that pay the royalties to landowners who receive the payments. Likewise, the business tax assessment of franchise fees will be transferred from the franchisees paying the fees to the franchisors receiving the payments. Mandatory Drivers License Suspension. To deter underage drinkers from altering their licenses in or­ der to purchase alcohol, the legislature toughened the penalties by requiring a 90-day mandatory Our banking card isn’t just another card.

This new act will allow auto dealers to subtract from their Single Business Tax base payments or credits they received from auto manufacturers to help them handle the high interest costs on floor plan inven­ tories from 1979 to 1984. The tax break cannot be claimed if the dealer deducted the manufacturers’ credits as interest on federal income tax returns for those years. Eliminating Duplicate Certification. The Public Health Code had required the Public Health Depar­ tment to certify persons who inspect food service establishments. An amendment to the code eliminates that requirement, which should pose no problem since sanitarians are already certified by the Department of Licensing and Regulation. CAPITOL COLUMN by RICHARD POSTHUMUS STATE SENATOR <_________________________________ i It’s been said the only thing that hurts more than paying an income tax is not having to pay one. But what about the people who should be paying one and aren't? The Senate has adopted legislation — House Bills 4706 and 4707 — setting up a tax amnesty program for Michigan residents. Under the plan, taxpayers who have not filed proper returns would have a 4560 day period to pay their back taxes plus any in­ terest, but without penalty. The current interest rate on unpaid taxes is nine percent of the amount due. Under a tax amnesty plan. that rate would change to a floating rate of one percent over the adjusted prime lending rate. As a revenue-generating program, other states have seen very positive results. Twelve other states have instituted similar amnesty plans, and raised millions of dollars. Massachusetts' program yielded *80 million. Michigan stands to gain at least *50 million for the first year, and an additional *25 million each year for increased enforcement. Proponents believe an amnesty period has potcn tial for raising several million dollars that would otherwise not be collected. Also, individuals and firms may come forward who had not previously filed, allowing Treasury to keep better track of them in the future. Although the plan has much support, a number of opponents to the bill complain the program rewards non-taxpayers. They claim people will come to ex­ pect the program and not pay yearly taxes, knowing they will eventually have the opportunity to redeem themselves. One of the main objections to the bill is a bounty provision. The bounty provision allows a person who knows someone not paying taxes to tip off the Department of Treasury. If the Treasury Depar­ tment collects, the person who told Treasury is eligible to collect 10 percent of what the Department recovers, up to *5,000. Given the support of both the House and Senate, though, chances are you can expect an amnesty period before the end of the year. FOR THE MOST IMPORTANT DAY OF YOUR LIFE See us for . . .

We will be leaving Thursday afternoon and stay overnight in Grosse Pointe. Tne team will arrive in time to prac­ tice on the tournament courts Thursday evening. The state tournament will begin early Friday mor­ ning. After the regional draw, we were not overly op­ timistic about our chances of going to the state tournament. OK Gold champion Calvin Christian and runner-up South Christian were favored in the regionals. Middleville managed only three seeds out of the 14 possible. Our players knew that they had to play their very best tennis to qualify for the state tournament. Teams that finish 1st or 2nd in the region qualify for the state tournament. We couldn't have asked for a better performance from our team. We faced Calvin Christian five times in the tournament, winning two matches, and losing three. The Trojans won all four close matches again­ st the Sailors of South Christian, which turned out to be the difference in the tournament. The Trojans finished with one singles champion, and two run­ ners-up. The Trojans also won two of the three doubles championships, which allowed them to finish 2nd in the region. Deb Ploeg was a regional runner-up at first singles. Deb had a first round bye, then defeated Kelloggsville in the second round. In the semi-finals Deb faced second seeded South Christian, and won the match 6-1, 6-4. In the finals Deb played very well against an all-state player, losing 3!6, 4’6. Deb has a season record of 20-1 going into the state finals this week. Jennifer Geukes had her best day as a Trojan ten­ nis player. After a first round bye, she won her first match against Kelloggsville 6-1, 6-1. In the second round she defeated Hamilton 6-4. 6-3. Jennifer en­ tered the finals against a very strong South Christian plaver who had just defeated Calvin Christian m a semi-final match. Jennifer simply overpowered her opponent in the championship match, winning in straight sets 6-4. 6-4. Powerful forehand shots were simply too much for the South Christian player who won the OK Gold conference title. Jennifer claimed the only regional singles title for the Troians. Julie DeMorrow had one of the toughest draws of any of our Trojans. Her first opponent was the only player to defeat her during tne season, but Julie defeated Kelloggsville in the first round 6-0, 6-2. In the second round she faced the OK Blue conference champion from Comstock Park. Julie continued to play well and won the match 6-4, 6-4. In the semi­ finals.

The Scots got off to a rough start early Thursday morning when they found that starting fullback and noseman Mike Naughton and starting guard and linebacker Mike Bower couldn't play.

They ran all over Godwin with Shane picking up 80 yards alone in the third quarter and scoring two touch­ downs to cut Godwin’s lead to 26-22. Caledonia then got the ball back late in the fourth quarter and drove down the field, but an interception cut the drive. Godwin scored with 30 seconds in the game to ice the victory. "We played a great second half,” explained Coach Mierman. "We played without two starters, who mean very much to this time, but Nate Heyboer and Jimmy Anderson filled in well.” The Scots got great individual performances from David Raab, 6 catches for 65 yards, Scott Gross, 10 tackles on defense; and Duane Johnson, 6 tackles on defense.

The class, incidentally, is held at the Village General Store and includes a nice mix of talented teachers and hopeful painters. LOCAL CHURCH ST.

Sauce Saves Luigi On His Journey To Middleville (DPI-October21,1985) Luigi Bagaloni. world famous spaghetti sauce gourmet and expert, was injured in a dive from the famous cliffs in Acapulco Sunday. Luigi, along with a number of others, had gotten too much of the sauce. The little gourmet, his judgment clouded, decided to join those who had entered the cliff diving competition. Luigi’s takeoff was fine. His landing was not! He belly-flopped. Usually this is fatal from the height involved, but Luigi’s many years of working with the sauce have produced a stomach which precedes liim wherever he goes. It did this also into the water His protruding paunch took the full impact of the dive. The only casualties were his wind, which was knocked out of him. and his T-shirt saying “Middleville ora bust!”, which was split right through the “bust”. Luigi was tran­ sported to beautiful downtown Burbank where he is undergoing further medical examination. It was reported that as Luigi was wheeled into the hospital he was heard saying “Whicha way is Middleville?” He is expected to be here to help the local Rotarians prepare the sauce for their Spaghetti Dinner on November 8. Tickets for the dinner are on sale by Rotarians at 33 for adults and $2 for children 12 and under. Proceeds go to fund the Diamond Jubilee Scholar­ ship given annually to a TKHS senior. Big projects are currently in the works for your Middleville Jaycees. After just completing a garage sale in Grand Rapids and sharing the proceeds with the Grand Rapids Christian Learning Center for their work with mentally impaired students, the Jaycees now turn to two popular local projects. Their annual shotgun raffle provides funds for community service activities and will enable one lucky sportsman to carry a beautiful 870 Remington Pump 12 gauge shotgun into the woods with him. The drawing will be held on November 9, and raffle tickets may be purchased from any Jaycee member or by calling 795-9037. Again this year the Jaycees will be selling beautiful, locally grown Christmas trees for your home. The trees will be cut at Thanksgiving and will go on sale Saturday, November 30, at the open lot near Sav-Mor grocery. As always, the Jaycees will have the best trees available at the best prices.

In the win­ ter of 1956 we came to Middleville as a young couple looking for a place to live. Joanne remembered: “At that time. Bill was working in real estate and was one of the first people we met. My earliest recollection of Middleville is sitting with Bill at the old Arcade Restaurant, drinking coffee, and ex­ ploring any housing possibilities that he could think of. He offered, if all else failed, to have us go stay at his house since he had a big house and lots of room. “That eventuality never materialized; we were able to rent . . . and several months later, purchase our first home in Middleville. A warm, close frien­ dship with the Campbells began then and has grown through the years. ” With the passing of Bill last week, we have lost one of the most enduring friendships we have ex­ perienced since coming to our adopted home. Both Bill and Helen rejoiced in each addition to our family, and our children adopted them as another set of grandparents. How bill loved to explore ideas! Conversation with Bill was always a stimulating experience. You pick the subject and Bill would offer his opinions, and you had better have your facts straight or he could tear you apart. Bill was a teacher, by profession and by in­ clination. He could stimulate a young person’s curiosity better than anyone I ever observed. He learned many of his teaching skills and methods in the rough and tumble days of old Denby High in Detroit. Those were the days when teachers had to “show their muscle” in the classroom to maintain order. When times changed. Bill had a difficult time adjusting to the permissive attitude that came about in school systems. In fact, he left teaching for a while. When he returned to the job, it was as a junior college professor at a school that needed his expertise in physics and chemistry. Bill loved the out-of-doors as much as he liked the classroom. He operated the Clanland Campground on the Thorrapple River near his farm home for a number of years. Never a big financial success, the campground nonetheless afforded Bill the oppor­ tunity to visit his “campers” and engage them in his very favorite pastime of stimulating conversation. Well miss Bill Campbell; knowing him has enriched our lives more than we can ever measure, “Coffee Break” at Caledonia CRC Are you in need of a “Coffee Break” filled with friendly discussions and Biblical enrichment?

The Sun and News, Middleville, Ml I Oct 24,1985 / Page 3 RiBC’s Recycling Tips k______________________________________ —_______ > by Jackie Schmitz The Natural Resource Commission has recently taken a strong stand in support of efforts to require a bottle deposit on wine cooler beverage containers sold in Michigan. Sales of wine coolers have been rising from 300 to 600 percent annually resulting in a dramatic increase in littering of lakes, streams, beaches and roadways. The landfilling of all this wasted glass which could be recycled is yet another environmental problem. Since Owens-Illinois is no longer accepting green glass. Barry County residen­ ts are not even able to recycle them at the household recycling stations. Michigan's "Bottle Bill" law. requiring a bottle deposit on most beverages, has proved to be a huge success. Since the Bottle Bill, passed in 1976. became effective, fitter along state highways has been reduced by some 40 percent. Solid waste across Michigan has been reduced by 600.000 tons per year, resulting in reduced demand for landfills and savings to taxpayers. If you support a deposit on wine coolers, let your legislators know. On the national front, it is interesting to know that the 100 year old Statue of Liberty is presently being restored using used metal. Aboaut 80,000 pounds of copper will be re-used to replace parts of the aging outer "skin" of this famous statue of freedom so the right shade and thickness can be matched, thus avoiding a visual clash between new and old metal. This project is encouraging to recyclers. It demonstrates how important it is for Americans to stop thinking of products made from recycled materials as inferior in quality. If it is good enough for "Lady Liberty" it is good enough for all of us. Remember to take your clean, prepared class jars and metal food cans to RiBC’s recycling centers located at the Fire Station parking lot in Hastings and behind Middle Mart party store on M-37 in Middleville. Lids must be removed from glass jars and only clear glass can be recycled. No green or brown glass, window glass or light bulbs are accep­ ted. Metal food cans must have labels removed and can be flattened by opening both ends to save space. No plastic milk jugs are accepted at the sites in Barry County. The Caledonia site, located in the parking lot of Caledonia Foods on M37, accepts clear, green and brown glass, metal food cans with labels removed and flattened, bundled newspaper (tied with string or packed in brown paper bags), old phone books and plastic milk or cider jugs. Please remember to remove all caps from glass jars and all caps and paper labels from milk jugs. Recycle Unlimited, who processes and transports the recyclables from Caledonia is experiencing financial difficulty right now, and the better we recyclers prepare our recyclable materials, the less time and money it takes R.U. to process it. And last but not least, remember to take your used motor oil to any local service station displaying the sign "Recycle Used Oil Here" whenever you change the oil in your car.

Twen­ ty-seven citizens responded to my invitation and expressed their views on this questions. Some just answered “yea” or “no", while others wrote lengthy, thoughtful letters. While the response by no means was a scientific sampling of 54th District opinions, I thought you would be interested in a tally of the opinions id did receive — as well as a brief summary of my own views. 1. A “living will" is a signed, dated and witnessed document which allows you to state in advance your wishes regarding the use of life-sustaining procedures when you are dying It also has a provision for the appoin­ tment of someone else to direct your care if you are unable to do so yourself Only half of the states have adopted legislation recognizing the legality of "living wills" but Michigan is not one of them. Would you favor legislation recognizing “living wills" as legally binding in Michigan9 Yes 25, No-2. 2. If a person is determined to be "brain dead" by physicians and has made no other arrangements in GET A TASTE OF FRIENDLY SERVICE... Why settle for anything less? Come sample banking the way you want it to be...convenient and pleas­ ant. Our staff is glad to serve you with everything from good advice to high interest savings ac­ counts...low-cost loans- • • and more! Stop in! writing, should that person's family be given the right to deny the use of life-support systems to sustain the patient 's life? Yee - 25. No - 2. I have opposed past, unsuccessful efforts to enact legislation that would allow a person to designate, in writing, an agent who could decide whether or not to discontinue life-sustaining medical treatment if that person has lost all consciousness or competence to choose. This proposal would go further than most other state "living will" statutes. It raises serious ethical, moral and legal questions. For example, should the decision of an agent - perhaps selected several years earlier - be able to prevail over that of the attending physician, other family members, or perhaps even the patient who had changed his/her feelings about the agent — but had failed to alter the living will? While I am opposed to the agency concept. I believe the legislature should attempt to clarify the currently confused situation in Michigan. I could support a carefully drafted "Living will" proposal that enabled a person to state, in writing, what his or her wishes would be regarding the use of medical equipment after a physician had established that life could no longer be sustained without its use - or that the person was "brain dead. " Should Medicaid funds be used to pay for organ tran­ splants for welfare recipients? Yea, 15 - No, 10. The cost of some organ transplant surgery is so high • and the outcome so uncertain - that private insurance companies refuse to insure certain types of transplants on the grounds that they are "ex­ perimental procedures." Likewise, state Medicaid assistance for low income persons who cannot afford health care currently does not cover organ tran­ splants. A proposal by Governor Blanchard to provide $4 million in next year’s Medicaid budget for such surgery was removed by the House Ap­ propriations Committee - though a special commit­ tee has been established to weigh the potential benefits of such coverage versus the possible costs that could result over the long run. I agree that more study is needed. Medicaid has been the fastest-growing state expenditure in recent years, and still that funding cannot meet basic health care needs of many Michigan citizens. To the extent organ transpolant funding could become a high-cost budget item, other basic coverage might be even more limited - and many more lives may be jeopardized. This is an area where the state will have to proceed cautiously, and hope that private citizens will continue to rally to the needs of friends and neighbors when life-saving transplants are needed. 4. Do you favor the use of Medicaid funds for an abortion for women who cannot afford private health insurance? Yes - 20, No - 6. 5. Do you feel the use of Medicaid funds for an abortion should be prohibited in the case of rape or incest? Yes - 5, No • 22. On several occasions, I have voted to prohibit the Medicaid funding of abortions even in the excep­ tional cases of rape and incest. My belief is that the life of the unborn child - unless the mother’s life is endangered - should take precedence over the troubling question of whether it is unfair to deny a low-income woman this assistance then wealthier women are assured access to legal abortions today. In short, I do not believe state funds should be used to subsidize the taking of human life. On the other hand, state dollars ought to be allocated for sex education and birth control counseling to help avoid unwanted pregnancies in the first place. And more funding attention must be given to pre and postnatal care, adoptive services and parental training and counseling as alteratives to abortion. 6. Do you think public high schools should provide sex education, birth control information, and other sex-related information through in-school clinics to students? Yes -19, No - 5. As much as I believe that such responsibilities should be primarily those of parents, statistics in­ dicating the rising rate of teenage pregnancies sim­ ply cannot be ignored. While I favor state funding for public school efforts to help students better un­ derstand their sexuality and avoid problems such as unwanted pregnancies, the selection and implemen­ tation of curriculum and program ought to be a matter of local control by parents, school board members and educational staff. 7. A study has recently been conducted which suggests that if state funding of abortion for women on general assistance or A FIX? is eliminated, the child delivery costs paid by the State of Michigan in the form of Medicaid dollars would exceed the abortion coats by 2 to 3 times. If current state funding of abortions is eliminated would you support the State of Michigan paying for the increased costs associated with delivery, as well as the resulting cost increases in welfare expenditures? Yes • 16. No - 9. I would support paying for the increased welfare costs which will result if the state s policy concer­ ning Medicaid-funded abortions is changed. However, this is another good reason for investing funds in programs to reduce the number of unwan­ ted pregnancies and encourage pre and post natal health care and adoption services. 8. Tbs Constitution of the State of Michigan currently outlaws capital punishment. Would you favor a new con­ stitutional amendment that would reinstate the dec th penalty for certain crimes, such as the killing of a law en­ forcement officer? Yee -18, No - 8. Personally. I am opposed to capital punishment. Studies have provided strong evidence that the death penalty does not deter capital crimes. Prison overcrowding would not be relieved as few criminals are actually put to death in states where capital punishment is allowed. Likewise, the death penalty is not a significant cost savings when measuring the few executed criminals who spend less time in prison cells versus the legal costs of trials and ap­ peals that are shouldered by states before death sentences are usually carried out. From a moral standpoint, one may argue the Old testament idea of “eye for eye" • that taking another’s life ought to result in the death of the of­ fender. However, others argue - as do I - that the New Testament message of forgiveness ought to ex­ tend to our criminal justice system. In other words. I do not believe society can, through its laws, foster respect for human life by sanctioning the taking of human life. The better answer from both a public safety and moral standpoint, I believe, is to push for a criminal justice system that provides greater certainty of punishment. When a person is found guilty of a capital crime, he or she and all of society should know that a sentence to life imprisonment will mean just that: life imprisonment.

Charlotte will need two more operations on her jaw that was injured. Good spirits, though.

Our 4th team goal of the year was to finish in the top ten. which means that this team has met all four of its goals for the year. Our first goal was to win the con­ ference title. The second goal was to go undefeated. The third was to qualify for the state by defeating the OK Gold champion, or runner up in regional play. Deb Ploeg had the roughest draw of all our Trojans, as she drew the state runner up from Whitehall. Deb lost her first round match, but finished the season with a 20-2 record. Deb was con­ ference champion and regional runner-up this year. She has won three consecutive conference titles and will be seeking her fourth crown next fall. Jennifer Geukes lost to Muskegon Catholic Cen­ tral in the state tournament. Jennifer finished the season with a fine 19-3 record. She won her third conference singles title and her first regional title this year. Jennifer won the only regional singles title for the Trojans, defeating South Christian in the finals. Julie DeMorrow defeated Kalamazoo Christian’s third singles player at the state tournament, 7-5, 62. Julie has had a great season for a sophomore, playing so high in our lineup. Julie finished the season with a fine 21-3 record. Julie had a great regional, winning three matches to reach the finals, where she finally lost to Calvin Christian. Kathv Cooley played her first year as a varsity player and finished the season with a 7-6 league record. Kathy played most of her matches at fourth singles. We are very pleased with the improvement that Kathy has made this year. We believe that the experience she has gained will make her a far better player in the future. Her attitude has been an in­ spiration to the entire team. Jeanine Stander and Melissa VerStrate lost to Galesburg Augusta in the state tournament. Jeanine finished the season at 17-3 while Melissa finished at 16-3. Our first doubles team won the conference title by playing some great tennis in the finals against an undefeated Hamilton team, win­ ning 7-6,7-6. The second doubles team of Missy Rounds and Kris Wohlford defeated Kalamazoo Hackett 6-0, 6-1 to advance to the quarterfinals. In that match we faced the second best team in the state. Missy and Kris played some excellent tennis to win the first set 7-5, but early in the second set Missy injured an ankle and was unable to complete the match. It was a big disappointment for this fine team. These two girls have worked very hard and improved a great deal during the season. We had ideas of going all the way to the state finals at this flight until the injury occurred. Kris and Missy had a great year, finishing with a record of 21-1. They easily won the conference championship. They also won the regional title, defeating Calvin Christian in the finals. Lisa Wolverton and Michele Errair automatically advanced to the state quarterfinals where they were defeated 2-6, 4-6, by Kalamazoo Christian. The quarterfinal loss was the first for this season, as our girls finished the season at 21-1. This team won the conference title and regional championship without losing a set. Katie Elies was 2-1 in varsity competition. Jill Dussia, Barb Hoisted and Stacey Anderson also won varsity matches this year. All four girls also played JV matches. Cassandra Schantz and Nicki Harrison showed good improvement this year and played in a few JV matches which gave them some much needed experience. We would like to thank all of the parents for their support this year. A special thanks to Mr. and Mrs. Wolverton for driving to the state tournament with the freshman players. Mrs. Errair for making motel arrangements. Mrs Geukes and Mrs. Errair for making signa.

CALL 795-3345 FOR ADS! Middleville and Caledonia played “three” games last Friday night. The first two ended in a tie and the final one had TK winning. 14-8. In reality, the Trojans and Fighting Scots played to a scoreless tie during regulation time. In the first overtime, both teams scored TD’s and added the two point conver­ sions, making it 8-8. The second overtime saw Mid­ dleville scoring and the Scots unable to do so. It was a football game played under the worst conditions possible. A steady rain, thick fog and a soupy field all led to both teams unable to score during the regular time allotment. The win evened Middleville s OK Blue season at 33 and put Caledonia 3-4 over all. The statistical battle was won by Middleville also. TK quarterback Jerry Steele passed for 120 yards, connecting on 7 of 15 tries. Caledonia had only 36 yards through the air and 81 yards on the ground. Middleville rushed for 141 yards and had the edge in first downs, 10-9. In the first overtime. Caledonia scored first on i four tries to the goal line on an eight yard run by Steve Cox. The two points were added by a pass from Bob Applegate to Larry Stallings. The Trojans came back to knot the score on a 4 yard run by Mike Blair and a two-point conversion run by Jon Moret­ ti. In the second overtime, Middleville was given the opportunity to score first and added six points from a three-yard run by Blair. The Scots were stopped on a fourth and two situation to end the garnets)! Middleville travels to the surprising l^ee Rebel's field for another OK Blue battle this Friday night. The Trojans close out the season with a game at Wayland on Novemer 1.

This win leaves the Trojans with a 6-0 OK Blue record anda 7-0 season mark. The Trojans have a slim one-game lead on Godwin Heights. A quick, hard-hitting Trojan defense slammed the door shut on a Scots' offense which was averaging 25 points a game. This defensive unit has only been scored on once this season and has 6 defensive shutouts to its credit. Leading the Orange and Black in tackles this week was nose guard Chris Forsythe with 12. Mark Irwin and Lance Patnoude had 7 apiece and Steve Egleston, Tim Mesecar and Kevin Martinez added 6 to the shut out. The Trojan defense has caused turnovers all season with Thursday's game being no exception. Egleston, Mesecar, Patnoude and Irwin each inter­ cepted a Caledonia pass. Jeff Page recovered a Scot fumble and Irwin tackled the Scot punter. The Trojan defensive rush sacked Caledonia's quarterback six times. Page had 2, Bob Dunkelburger 2, Terry Bowen 1 and Martinez added 1. Quarterback Brian Verlinde threw 13 passes, con­ necting on 9 of them for 125 yards, 2 touchdowns and 2 extra point conversions. Brad VanSickle gracefully caught a Verlinde aerial for a 35 yard score and Mesecar. aided by Jeff Kuehn, grabbed a Verlinde strike for a 21-yard score. Patnoude and Ross Sprague each hauled in Verlinde passes for two point conversions. Mesecar raised his season rushing mark to 848 yards with a 77-yard performance. Tim also con­ tributed his punting skills, by averaging 48 yards a punt on 3 punts. The Trojan offense has amassed 223 points this season. They are averaging 258 yards a game offen­ sively. Congratulations to Andy Cummings and Brian Verlinde on becoming the 19th and 20th players to enter the 200 pound bench press club. This week the Trojans will take on a very ex­ plosive and quick Wyoming Lee club. The Orange and Black cannot afford a mental let down after the tough Caledonia game or they will find themselves tied for second place. A solid performance will be needed by everyone. �The Sm and Mews, MdM.

TK Frosh Hold 7-0 Record The TK Freshmen traveled to Caledonia to take on the Scots for the second time this season and came home with a 36-6 victory. The young Trojans started the game on offense, but had a hard time getting on track and fumbled on their own 30-yard line. The defense came in and held Caledonia out of the endzone. On TK’s second possession they marched 75 yards, with Jim Thorne getting the touchdown on a nice 15-yard run. Jim also added the 2 point conversion for an 8-0 lead. On the kickoff, Don Peters and Jeff Schute com­ bined on a hard hitting tackle and the Scots had to start on their own 10 yard line. TK got the ball back on a punt to the 45 yard line and drove right back into the endzone with Mike Smith on the receiving end of a 10-yard pass from QB Mike Brotherton. Brian Cooley added the extra points to make the score 16-0. Just before halftime, Mike Smith scored again to give the Trojans a 22-0 halftime lead. In the third quarter, Middleville drove 74 yards with Brotherton getting the TD and Cooley adding the extra points. Caledonia then came back with the help of a 30 yard pass to score a touchdown midway through the 4th quarter. On the kickoff following the Caledonia touch­ down, Thome took the kickoff and following some fine blocks, raced 82 yards to make the final score 36-6. The defense again played an outstanding game, holding the Scots to under 50 yards in total offense. With this fine win the Trojan freshman record stands at 7-0 with Forest Hills Northern coming to town next. USE SUN & NEWS CLASSIFIEDS! �Pap 101 The Sun and Nawa. Mxkfev*.

The VanRhees also at­ tended the soup supper before the game. • I'm glad Janette skipped her micro-wave class Monday night and got her news. It supports the feeling that I could give myself the week off from railing. We were home Monday evening and could have called all of you. but somehow after visiting with family and friends for nearly five days, I was physically and emotionally not ready for more phone calls, (can you believe me talked out?) For those of you who may not know, our brotnerin-law, Harley Truax of Wayland died last Thursday from the cancer that was diagnosed in May. There have been countless hospital visits, plus phone calls to keep our large and scattered family informed. Sister Ruth Jones came from Florida to be with Harley's wife, Trudy, during this time, and while the cause was not happy, we have had good visits. Our brother and wife from Indiana. Corky and Jeanette Ruiter, were here with the Fred Steiners for three days, and our oldest sister and her husband were here for a few days too. It’s at these times that families support each other, and we couldn’t do that without the wider support of you friends who hold us in your hearts and your prayers. We are very grateful for this. Harley and I shared the same birthday, which created an extra bond, and through the years he created many things for all of us in his wood shop. Having no daughters of his own. ours were his “special girls’’ from the time they were tiny. We will all miss the brother we’ve been allowed to share for 39 years. Seems as though I’m frequently promising “to do better’’ with Prairie Sketches — and it may never happen — but I’ll keep trying. Please, if you have something you want in the paper, and we don’t reach you, call us. (Thanks to the few of you who do!) There’s nothing more discouraging to all of us “reporters" to have someone say "I had news last week, but you didn't call...” 5 00 pm 9:00 and 11 00 a m 6:45 p m for their efforts in attaining excellent ora!health!

The Sun and News ★ Box 130 ★ Middleville, MI 49333 The Trojan 8th Grade Girls Basketball team im­ proved their record to 7-0 with an easy 32-7 victory over Kelloggsville. The game was never in question as the Trojans moved to a 6-2 first quarter lead. The Trojan starters pushed the lead to 15-2 early in the second quarter. The starters then all but retired to the bench for the rest of the game. As the third quarter progressed the Trojan bench continued to widen the lead by outscoring Kelloggsville 6-2. The fourth quarter also saw the Trojan bench dominate Kelloggsville by outscoring them 11-1. Leading the scoring for the Trojans were Robin Kidder 8. Tricia Wright 8, Maggie James 4, Vai Jackiewicz 2. Marde Henry 2, Jenm Karel 2, Anne Browne 2, Gina Cline 2. Sara Selleck 1 and Shelly Duyser 1. The 8th grade girls improved their record to 8-0 on Friday with a 29-16 victory over Caledonia. The first quarter saw the Trojans move to an 11-4 lead. The second quarter was almost even as the Trojans outscored Caledonia 4-3 to take a 15-7 halftime lead. The third quarter saw Caledonia stage a comeback as the outscored the Trojans 7-4 to cut the Trojan lead to 19-14 going into the final quarter. The TK gals then put the game away by outscoring Caledonia 10 to 2. The Trojans played most of the game without the services of their starting center Jenni Karel. She suffered an injury to her finger late in the first quarter and did not play the rest of the contest. Anne Browne and Tammy Ruffner did a good job as back-up centers. Leading the scoring was Mandy Baerman (who also injured a finger during the contest) with 9 points, Jackiewicz 8. Cathy Grube 4, Henry 3. Ruffner 2, Duyser 2 and Browne 1. TK 7th Grade Girls Basketball The TK Seventh Grade girls basketball team won two games last week by a total of 2 points. On Tuesday the Trojans won 10-9 over Kelloggsville. Sue Seger had 2 points.

Trena Herminette and Pam Elkins each had 2 points. The Trojan gals did a fine job of never giving up, and through hard work and determination won a game that they easily could have lost. Middleville Youth Wrap Up Football Year The Middleville Youth football teams played Dorr last Saturday, with the last game of the season played in a swamp-like field. The Badgers took the field at 11:00, and after four quarters of slipping and sliding, they came out on top of a 14-0 score. The Badgers end the season with a 5-1-1 record. The Raiders took the field at 12:30. The usually fast backfield found the playing field to be a big fac­ tor in the game. Normal running pays turned into one big slip. Both teams played well and left covered with mud. Final score was Raiders 28, Dorr 22. and the Raiders end the season with 6 wins and 1 loss. \ LARRY KOPEN ELECTRIC [ 5 5 * J New Construction, Remodeling, Service Upgrading and Repairs CUSTOM HOME WIRING 17 Years Experience 2 j COMMERCIAL - RESIDENTIAL 891-1156 j � https://barrycountyhistoryportal.org/files/original/25/695/SunandNews_1985-10-31.pdf 102bd5f5e6065bc46d350d33ae61ff3b PDF Text Text Hastings Public Library 121 Church y Hastings, HI 49053 hustings ’^l,c comp Annual Bazaar November 9th at Middleville UMC “Tidings of Christmas" is the theme selected by the MiddleviUe United Methodist Women for their annual bazaar to be held this year on Saturday, November 9, from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. at the church.

An Old Fashioned Barn Raising For two days they came . . . dozens of volun­ teers with saws and hammers. There were neighbors, friends and relatives. Some were farmers, some were factory workers, some were truck drivers. There were businessmen, ministers and carpenters. Some were skilled builders, most were not. These volunteers came and in two days erec­ ted a 40’ x 144’ barn on the Bob Wenger family farm on Bender Road just south of Middleville. The Wengers had lost the original bam to a fire Close Goose Hunting Soon The Allegan Goose Management area will be dosed to Canada Goose Hunting after November 3, at the 3,000 bird quota will have been met by that data.

On Saturday they came back and put down the steel roofing. All that remains to be done is the concrete floor (which was partially done at this writing) and the steel siding. The bam will house the heifer cattle in several pens along the north side, said Wenger. A hay bam will be built on a separate site probably in the spring.

Luigi Has Tangle With Beast Enroute To Middleville (DPI-October28,1985) Luigi Bagaloni, world famous spaghetti sauce gourmet and expert, has begun the final leg of his journey to Middleville where he will prepare the sauce for the Spaghetti Dinner sponsored by the local Rotary Club on Friday, November 8. Luigi purchased a used moped in Burbank on Thursday last, and immediately headed east. His journey took him through the “no-man'a land” weat of Las Vegas. It was in this forsaken country that the little gourmet once again was faced with danger, for in the early morning hours, Luigi was confronted by a crazed jack rabbit. The rabbit, its reasoning powers greatly diminished by a steady diet of loco weed, mistook Luigi on his moped for an enemy buch which had, just days before, tried to force it from its territory and harem. The mad rabbit took off in hot pursuit of Luigi who. recognizing the danger, twisted the throttle of his moped to full on. The race was a close one, for Luigi was slowed significantly by his ponderous paunch, the result of many years in the sauce. The chase took Luigi, his over loaded moped, and the crazed jack rabbit through the heart of Sin City without a stop. Your reporter would not have been aware of Luigi’s progress and predicament had it not been for the sign on his back which said ‘ Middleville ora bust’’. The chase goes on. It is hoped that the rabbit runs out of gas before Luigi does. Tickets for the dinner are on sale by Rotarians at •3 for adults and 32 for children 12 and under.

Baptists for Life, Right to Life and other pro-life people were much in evidence at Blodgett Hospital on October 5 to protest abortion activity being done there.

The public is encouraged to come to First Baptist Church located on M-37 north of Middleville and learn what can be done.

Hillegonds and Bender Sponsor Farm Study Concerned about the financial crisis facing far­ mers. Representatives Bob Bender (R-Hastings) and Paul Hillegonds (R-Holland) have co-sponsored a resolution in the Michigan House that asks the State Tax Commission to study how agricultural land values are assessed in Michigan. Representative Bender said that United States Dept, of Agriculture statistics show Michigan having the third highest per acre agricultural property tax in the nation (behind Rhode Island and New Jersey) and the highest per acre tax in the 12state Midwest region. “The state needs to take a closer look at how far­ mland is assessed.” Bender said. "Michigan’s total tax levied per acre of farmland is five times the national average and the amount levied per $100 market value is nearly four times the national average, and we need to know why.” The resolution asks the commission to study the issue in cooperation with county equalization boar­ ds and local assessors. The group is asked to make a final report to the legislature no later than January 1,1986. Representative Hillegonds said the Tax Com­ mission has been asked to determine trends in assessed value of agricultural property by county for the last decade and to investigate alternative methods of determining the true cash value of agricultural land. The assessed value of real property on Michigan farms rose 8.2 percent from 1980 to 1984, while the U.S. Dept, of Agriculture says it should have declined 10 percent. "Assessing agricultural land is one of the many issues facing farmers today. The farm crisis grows deeper every day. Low farm prices, bad weather and low yields continue to plague farmers. The com­ mission study could shed some light on the assessment issue and make necessary recommen­ dations” Hillegonds concluded.

M«Mn*. Ml/Oct 31,1985 NEWS OF YOUR MIDDLEVILLE NEIGHBORS WESTSIDE with NORMA VELDERMAN k______________________________________> Well, folks, did you miss me? I just got back from my two weeks’ vacation visiting my sis and hubby in D.C. Wasn’t my hubby a sweetheart to let me go all by myself for the first time. 1 didn't realize how much I would miss getting the news until I started to doing it again. I didn't realize until I got back and started to get the news how much I missed visiting with you, my com­ munity family, and how much I appreciate your sharing of your lives with me. It seemed so good to talk with all of you. Just helps to reinforce to me how completely I am a small town person. I couldn’t go for my early morning walks, because if I did, my brother-in-law was uneasy and would have insisted on going with me. I missed my early pre-dawn walks, so I took them later. But I missed hearing the birds and smelling the fresh smell of the earth. I had to walk on cement - dodge heavy traffic, and smell the car exhaust. They have sunsets, that’s for sure, but you can’t see the first streaks of dawn as it comes up through the trees. And mercy me - how people are stacked on top of each other. Tall apartment houses, rows of town houses - people, people, people! I can understand the reason why they ’re so concentrated - but that's not one bit for me. People were friendly and nice, but the distances you have to travel to do things. The main business of D.C. and surrounding area is the U.S. Government and related businesses, so there’s a heavy concentration of people and their needs for miles away from the center. What about playing and breathing areas for the children? It just makes me appreciate how fortunate our children were to grow up in the country, and the slower and more peaceful pace they lived, which gave them a firmer start than city children. It’s a fascinating place to visit, and wonderful things to see and learn about. I rode the Metro sub­ way down to the National Archives after the business rush hour. I was so excited I got off one stop too soon, but got back on and rode one more station. I then rode the bus home supposedly, but got the wrong bus and went the wrong direction. The bus driver was so thoughtful and helpful - gave me a punched transfer so I could turn around, taking anoher bus back to where I’d first got on and took the correct bus going the opposite direction. I really enjoyed the challenges of new experiences and didn’t get too upset. I could take care of myself, even if I was a hick. Actually. I really enjoyed it. Lyda, Frank and I went on the White House garden tour. It’s only open once a year for a few hours and we got to see it. Then I helped her with her Presbyterian Home Christmas Bazaar. So I did alot of different things and still helped them too. So let me give you all a verbal hug, I’m so glad to be home and visiting again with all of you. And the nice feeling I had when quite a few of you wanted to know what the heck had been wTong with me that I hadn’t called for a couple of weeks. That 's why I love a small town - we re all separate - but concerned when we don’t see or hear from someone. It was the nicest feeling. Thanks, folks. The Sherman family went on their last weekend of camping. She was just unloading when I called and in the rush to answer the phone she dropped the eggs. I’m sorry I startled her. There’s one person that wasn’t so glad for my call, because of the mess she had to clean up. Had a nice visit with Norma Lewis. She's busy getting her Barbie doll clothes supply ready for the three bazaars she’s having in November and During World War I. parrots were kept on the Eiffel Tower to warn of approach­ ing aircraft long before the planes were heard or seen by human spotters. December in Grand Rapids and Plainwell. She said she got started making Barbie doll clothes for neighbor children about 12 or 13 years ago, but has only been going to craft shows for six years. At first she was ready to quit because they were so tiny and difficult she had to feel her way through making them. But a friend showed her a very clever and simple way with the results so much nicer. Norma really began enjoying doing them. Alberta Hooper said Jack’s folks were there for dinner Sunday before they went to Florida. She hopes to see son Jack and wife in Alabama soon. Rod Finkbeiner said Char is busy getting ready for the United Methodist bazaar on November 9. Son Al Finkbeiner is spending three weeks in the National Guard school in Little Rock. Ark. Margaret Abbott spent the weekend in Riverview, near Detroit, for a Moose meeting. Rose and Ken Morgan spent the weekend cam­ ping at Battle Creek Custer Recreation park. It was a new park to them - a rustic park with lots of wildlife and thoroughly enjoyable. They stopped at the bird sanctuary on the way home. As with most of us parents, our youngsters had gone more than we had. So they really enjoyed finally getting to see it for themselves. They enjoyed the walking. Greta Greiner said granddaughter Katie had her last soccer game Saturday. Daughter Barb was her coach. Clarence Barnes answered the phone and said he and Joanne have been battling colds and flu for almost two weeks. The Koeplingers rode their motorbike to Grand Haven Sunday and walked the boardwalk. My hub­ by. Lyda. Frank and I were there Sunday also but didn't see any boardwalk, so I asked here where on earth it was. (Son Dave had taken Johnny on a char­ ter fishing trip there a few weeks back and Johnny was showing us the area). She said we didn’t go far enough. We saw the grandstand - that’s where it starts and goes out to the pier. So we didn't realize what we’d missed. The Kopelingers said they had a wonderful time - very few people there. We went on to the State Park, and Johnny and Frank talked with several fishermen who had waders on and were fishing from the beach. One had gotten quite a mess of fish. Now Johnnys enthused about trying it - so he can smoke any that he cat­ ches. Maureen Bartlett will be 13 Monday. The Bartlett family had Sunday dinner with Dan’s Aunt Thela and Uncle Bill Conners in Comstock Park. Rollo and Mae Bowerman’s daughter and husband. Mr. and Mrs. Henry Elgersma. spent Sunday with them.

She said they had a front row seat watching out the window but didn’t come out because they had the flu. That was wierd for us. Sunday on the way home from visiting Johnny’s brother Pete and family, we saw these low balloons. The chase car was parked near Adams Road and M-37, so we were going to watch them land. But it looked like a red and yellow balloon was over our place, so we followed that one and watched it land way off the road on a farm on Whitmore and Heath Roads. Then came back and watched the collapsing balloon in front of Bower­ mans. Chased the other balloon which was piloted by his wife and missed the landing right by our own farm of the other balloon. Both balloons belonged to the Eyewitness Balloon Co. of Caledonia, and it was the same pair of balloonists that landed near Ace and Margaret Abbott's last year. So got to visit with him for a few minutes. Don and Dorothy Dean went to visit Becky and family Sunday. Florence Doom bos said she's busy raking leaves. Picked some of the last tomatoes. She also said they'd been walking and found a mixed-up wild violet blooming. Our nice weather confused the plant and apparently it thought spring had come. He’s going to get his nose nipped when winter hits. The Featherly family were over to Vic and Sue’s house for Sunday dinner. The men went bow and arrow hunting while the women folks made plans for Thanksgiving Saturday the Hamiltons celebrated their two oldest sons’ birthdays. They were bom on the same day but two years apart. And to top it off the son stationed in Hawaii called, so it was a nice celebration all around. Donna Kenyon’s sister and husband, who have been staying with Donna and Bob, left for Florida on the 10th. Saturday her other sister, daughter and husband came to visit. Donna has been busy can­ ning meat. She’s one of the few persons I’ve met around here who cans meat. She said usually she uses her mom’s old steam canner (I’d love to see it), but this time she and her sister pressure canned it. Neva Kenyon and her family have been taking turns staying with her dad, who is now home from the hospital. It was Neva’s turn this week end and he is coming along nicely. Ann Kenyon, Char Finkbeiner and Louise Elwood attended the Miniature World Craft show Saturday at the Mayflower Congregational Church in Grand Rapids. Ann said you wouldn't believe the beautiful things they had. One doll house was the exact reproduction of the owner’s grandparent's home. It was realistic, chickens, ducks, etc. Even pigs wallowing in the mud, the outhouse with the hollyhocks landscaping or trying to camouflage the building. (My Aunt Audie and Uncle George Steeby had lilac bushes). They had the little picture pumps, everything you could think of was reproduced there, even to an apple tree with apples. One owner had reproduced a restaurant, cement walk and all, and had it enclosed in a lighted coffee table for display. Wow! What patience and work goes into that. last Sunday cousin Bob and Helen June Pike from Kent City visited Ann and Art Kenyon. Mary VanderWal said Greg and Ann Noah from Indiana. Randy and Chris were all home for the weekend. Regina Stein's mom and brother went with her and Jerry Friday evening to the Grand Plaza to hear Patrick McManus, a humorous writer from the Out­ door Magazine.

Donna Cox said both sons were home this weekend with their families and they had a wonder­ ful time eating out. Neva Aicken had a bridal shower on October 16 for her niece. Christine Raymond, who is now the bride of Ron Belson. Neva said Karl Peck (daughter Jane’s husband) has legally adopted Jane's children. Scott Robert and Chelsea Jane. Neva said it was such a heartwarming experience. When the children were asked by the judge what they thought about it, they spoke right up and said he was a wonderful dad. They all got together back at Jane and Karl's home afterwards. Michelle Hilty and roommate spent the weekend with her parents, Jerry and Pat. Some friends from Ohio also visited this weekend.

HIGH STREET { Hastings Rail Depot to Find New Home The old vacated Chicago, Kalamazoo and Saginaw (C.K.&S.) Railroad depot in Hastings will soon find a new home, thanks to Willard Lawrence, president of the Felpausch Corporation in Hastings, and also to the Barry County History Book Committee. Hearing of the demolition of the once busy railroad depot from Kalamazoo to Woodbury. Mike Hook, serving as chairman for the C.K.&.S. Preser­ vation Committee from the Barry County History Book Committee, negotiated with Mr. Lawrence and obtained the rights to move and restore the historic depot at another location. With the Felpausch Corporation expanding their Hastings Store, the 98-year old depot would be in the way of construction at Green Street in Hastings. Knowing of the historic value of this building. Mr. Lawrence signed the depot over to Hook and his committee so they could move the depot and preser­ ve it. Dismantling of the depot got underway this Monday morning. With the help of Zane Mead from Nashville. Michigan, who has helped move some of the historic buildings at Charlton Park, the Barry County Book committee will dismantle the building, store it for the winter, and reconstruct the depot hopefully next summer. The C.K.& S. Preservation committee will be holding some fund raisings soon and is asking any Barry County resident who can contribute some donation to the project to please send their tax deductable donation to The Barry County Book Committee, C.K.& S. Fund Project. 3160 South Broadway, Hastings, MI 49058. Checks or money orders should be made out to the Barry County Book Committee. The C.K. & S. Railroad served Barry County residents with two passenger trains daily and one freight run once a day. It was because of this unique railroad that little communities like Shultz, Delton, Milo. Coats Grove. Woodland, Acker's Point, Hastings and Crooked Lake came into being. The railroad began in the 1880’s and existed until the late 1930's, when it yielded to time and progress of modem times.

Main Street Phone 795-3345 CAPITOL COLUMN by RICHARD POSTHUMUS STATE SENATOR L»----------------------------------- --- ' We’ve all beard a lot of horror stories about government spending; but the budget problems of the MESC’s automation project are making some of those stories pale by comparison. And. the biggest problem of all is what to do about it. The Senate Committee on Labor has been hearing testimony on the project for about six months now, and the haze that surrounds the facts has lifted a lit­ tle. A key factor in clearing the air has been the report of the Auditor General which implies that a series of mistakes by the Michigan Employment Security Commission in their management, accoun­ ting. implementation and anticipated scope of the project resulted in massive cost overruns in their unemployment insurance automation project. But that doesn’t do much to appease those who footed the bill, which grew from >17 million to >81.5 millionover 5 years. The bulk of the money involved comes from Michigan’s Unemployment Insurance Solvency Tax enacted in 1982 on “negative balance” employers • those whose laid-off workers collect more in benefits than their employers pay into the fund. The em­ ployers and the Legislature would like to know how the original estimate presented by ME SC jumped by almost >65 million and why, as well as who was responsible. Those aren't easy questions to answer since the MESC has had two different directors sin­ ce the project began and several different groups were responsible for overseeing the operation. No one is arguing with the need to automate the agency 's major function of handling the payment of benefits to unemployed workers. The scope of that job, in light of the employment probjems in Michigan, requires something more efficient than millions of paper files. And. while it’s an added irritation that the computer system seems to have more bugs than the manual filing system, some hit­ ches are usual in a new system. There is argument, though, over who should be paying the bill and over what action should be taken in the future to prevent this kind of catastrophe. As more and more of our society moves from the tradition of manual filing to computerized infor­ mation networks, we should be prepared with guidelines which facilitate a smooth transition and reasonable accountability. The trick is to see that we learn from our past mistakes and prevent future problems before they happen. The Department of Labor is even now in the process of automating the workers’ compensation sytem, although they seem to be doing so with great caution in the light of MESC’s fiasco. That’s wise, considering that some members of the senate are calling for an investigation of any criminal intent on the part of those who may have benefited from MESC’s over-expenditures for hardware and ser­ vices. Demanding accountability from those responsible is only half the issue. The other half is seeing how we can prevent the same problem in the future, and that will be a key priority in the Legislature in coming weeks.

Caledonia jumped out to an early 26-0 lead in the first quarter and then cruised the rest of the way to win their sixth game of the year Troy Shane led the way for the Scots as he scored on runs of 75, 50 and 22 yards. He rushed for 220 yards on the night to bring his total to 1,298 yards. Other Scots who scored were Mike Naughton and Joe Macomber. "It’s nice to get back on the winning track," ex­ plained Coach Meerman. "we’ve been hit with in­ juries all year and we’ve still won 6 games. It would have been interesting to see what we could have done had everybody stayed healthy." The Scots only dressed 15 players this week, so many second stringers had to fill positiona^’We had kids who have played second string all year play tonight and they did a great job. Craig Bailey did a fantastic job at safety. Greg Illikainen, Chip Netzel and Mark Evans also played well." The Scots defense played well, limiting the Pan­ thers to three first downs on the night. Leading the way for the Scots on defense were Scott Gnass, Rich Moon, Nate Heyboer and Marshall Pederson. The Scots’ next game is against Zeeland at Caledonia. Special thanks to the outstanding work of team manager, Jon MaComber. �Psge 101 The Sun and News, Middtevrtte.

Tiffany has a brother, Isaiah, at home who things she’s really neat. Judy Harrison feels she’s almost ’out of the pum­ pkin patch' and was happy for the beautiful weekend that allowed so much yard work to be done. Sisters Ruth Jones of Florida and Trudy Truax of Wayland spent last Wednesday with Alice Steiner The ladies visited brother-in-law John Zaboly at the Medical Care Facility and had lunch out together. I joined them for supper and an evening of visiting at the Steiner home. One of the weeks recently when I couldn’t get Jessie Bender, she and Ward were off on a trip to Illinois and Iowa that took them on a 100-mile day long ride on the Mississippi River. The day hap­ pened to be a miserable one of rain and so foggy they couldn't see the banks, but the food, company and entertainment were good. The trip also included visits to historic Galena and Bishop HilL Illinois, and overnights at Dubuque and Betterdorf. Sunday Ward and Jessie, with Doris and Emmette Campbell, were at White Cloud for dinner and to visit a cousin. The cousin took Ward and E minette for a plane ride over several area dams and lakes which was most interesting. Letha Buckingham says “no more fishing*’ for this year as they ’ve taken the boat out of the water. Mike, Brett and Kelly Bremer, Dave, Sue, Brad and Brian Enders were among those enjoying the U.M.

Jack and Gerry Spender attended the Harvest Festival at Brooklyn last weekend - a busy but nice day On Sunday Gerry attended a family shower at the home of Fred and Laurel Rock honoring Jordan, new son of Fred and Agnes Rock.

Luigi’s flight from the ferocious jack rabbit came to an end at Kingman. Arizona, when the mad rabbit decided that he had driven his competition far enough away from his territory and harem, and giving up his pursuit turned back west. Luigi con­ tinued east. Eight miles west of Flagstaff, the little gourmet's faithful moped became unfaithful and expired. Luigi continued on on foot, but had to walk only one mile before he came to a rest area. There he spotted a vision of blue lovliness A truck with the name "Steelcase" was parked in the lot, and the city of origin was listed as Grand Rapids. Bagaloni quickly inquired of a tourist from Ohio as to whether Grand Rapids was near Middleville, and was informed that it indeed was. Luigi's relief was almost as great as that of the driver of that fair vehicle. Mindful of his responsibility to prepare the sauce for the Spaghetti Dinner sponsored by the Middleville Rotary club on Friday night, November 8, Luigi climbed into the back of the truck and thus began the final leg of his journey. The dispatcher at Steelcase has informed this reporter that the truck is due in Grand Rapids Thursday night. Luigi is going to make it this time! It’s this Friday night! Tickets for the dinner are S3 for adults and S2 for children 12 and under. They are available from Rotarians or at the door. Dinner will be served in the TK High School cafeteria by your friendly local Rotarians. Proceeds fund the Diamond Jubilee Scholarship which is awarded an­ nually to a TK senior.

Christmas Parade in Middleville Dec. 7th ELDON NEW7HYER The Brothers Grimm and their famous collection of German fairy tales will serve as this year's Children’s Book Week theme when the Kent County Library system celebrates at all branches from November 9 • 23. Snow Whitt's Storybook, a story theatre presentation, will be at the Caledonia branch library on Thursday, November 14, at 4 o’clock. School age children and their parents are invited to attend the free program. Notably, this year marks the 200th birthday of Jakob Grimm, the eldest of the two brothers. Special birthday celebrations will be held at each ac­ tivity. "This year we’re not focusing on a regular author or book but, rather, highlighting the famous Grimm brothers and the fairy tales they collected and preserved for us,” said Children’s Services Coor­ dinator Mary Frydrych. "No one really knows specifically who made these tales up to begin with as they were passed down verbally from generation to generation. They might have eventually been forgotten or lost if not recorded by the brothers. ” Frydrych also points out that during the middle ages the simple tales provided entertainment and enlightenment for young and old alike. Although adults today might not find them particularly relevant, Frydrych emphasized the importance of fairy tales for children. “Fairy tales not only enter­ tain children, they help them to deal with their own fears and frustrations by providing stories with hope and happy endings, ” said Frydrych. At Snow Whitt's Magic Storybook, Snow White will be on hand to introduce the Grimm stories to her audience. Familiar classics including "The Frog Prince” and "The Fisherman and His Wife” will be enacted. USE SUN & NEWS CLASSIFIEDS! The,Sup and Neu s PuMaeon M». UWS 3478*0 124 E.

Starting with your new phone bill. When all those changes happened in the telephone business a while back, some things got more complicated. Including your phone bill. Ever since, we’ve been looking for ways to simplify it, so it’s easier to read and understand. And after a lot of research and listening hard to customers like you. we think we’ve done it. For starters, we’ve cut out some duplica­ tion. so the new bill you’ll be getting could have as few as three or four pages. From now on. youll just mail in the Payment Page with your payment The Payment Page is the top page of your bill. We’ve done away with the computer card you used to haw to send in. (If you pay in person, you should bang the whole bill with you.) The Total Amount Due will be easy to find because it’s shaded in a box on the Payment Page Youll find the new appearance and wording of the bill help make it a whole lot easier to understand. We think youll agree that a confusing phone bill is just one more little problem none of us wants to muddle through. That’s why we hope our new shorter version will be easier for you. �■ --------- ------------------------------------X joined his folks, the Sidney Steensmas for birthday The Sun and News.

Ross Sprague caught his 10th touchdown pass of the season on a 2nd quarter, 25-yard throw from Verlinde. This raises Ross’s season yardage to 370 yards. Lance Patnoude has 293 yards in catches during the year with 3 touchdowns and nine extra point catches. Brad VanSickle hauled in a 35 yard Verlinde aerial against Wayland for his second score on the year and 118 yards through the air.

Middleville rushed for 328 yards and completed three of 9 passes for 34. Coach Rhines said "Our of­ fensive line did a nice job. There wasn’t any penetration and we ran our veer offense and most any other play.’’ Scott King and Bob Caldwell were defensive standouts in the Trojan victory. Wayland was held to 10 first downs, 46 yards rushing and 99 passing. Middleville Frosh are Unbeaten on the Gridiron The Trojan freshman football team completed an undefeated season by blanking Wayland 38-0.

Honorable Mention: Pam Merchant and Kris Over­ mire, Caledonia; Shan Clifford, Lee; Came Ten Cote, Hamilton: and Michelle Giszewski, Comstock Caledonia and Zeeland both brought identical records of 6-2 into their football game Thursday night, and when the game was over they both still had identical records, 6-2-1. Caledonia surprised the much bigger team by taking the opening kickoff and driving 70 yards in 7 plays with Troy Shane taking it in from 7 yards out. The Scots' 2 point con verstion was stopped by the Chixs. Zeeland's first offensive possession saw them march 65 yards in 8 plays to tie the game at 6-6. Zeeland's extra point attempt was no good. The remainder of the game was a great defensive performance by both teams. Both had chances to score, but when it came down to making the big plays, the defensive teams always made them. Defensive standouts for the Scots were linebackers Todd Jousma and Jim Anderson. “Both of these young men have improved dramatically during the year,’’ explained Meerman. The Caledonia Fighting Scots' season ends at 6-21. There were many bright moments this year for the Scots and many disappointing moments. “At the start of the year I would have been happy with 3 wins, but this team has worked hard and I’m very proud of them ”, said the coach. One thing the Scots have to work harder on is weight lifting. At the present time the Scots only have 5 lifters who lift over 200 lbs. Troy Shane 230 lbs, Mike Dragoo 215. Scot Gnass 210, Mike Bowen 220 lbs., and Jimmy Anderson 200 lbs. Both of the Scot losses this year were to teams who work very hard on the weights. "Middleville had an outstan­ ding JV football team,” stated Meerman. "And the reason they are so good is because they believe in weight lifting.” We’re starting to believe that way, and when we get our new weight room finished I know that will increase our players’ belief. Bright moments for the Scots: Troy Shane, 1400 yards rushing for 19 TDs; Mike Naughton, 400 yar­ ds rushing for 5 TD’s ■ Scott Gnass leading tackler with 11 average and David Raab 18 Rec. for 200 yards.

Ml I Not. 7,1985 “Then I Remembered! It's Halloween!” By Jean Soest, Caledonia Reporter youngsters with their make-up as they were going to One day last week I was asked to cover the “dress up” for the festivities. Thursday arrived and the weatherman was Caledonia Elementary School's parade on Thur­ sday, October 31. One of the teachers said I could predicting rain in the afternoon. I'm thinking that would be a shame, what a soggy mess, the little even join their class for the party after the parade, and if I could, would I come early and help the girls' pretty party dresses and the little boys suits will be if it rains. Can you imagine my surprise when I arrived ready to cover the parade and I'm met by the prin­ cipal dressed as a race car driver. I got my hopes up when the fire Department and the County Sheriff arrived. But when the band arrived most of them looked like bums. Then I looked at the youngsters and to my surprise I found them dressed as robots, unicorns, ghosts, monsters, witches, clowns, G.I. Joes, bears, cats, mouse, punk rockers, bums and mummy. Gruesome, awful, unbelievable. What kind of teachers and parents would allow the youngsters to dress like this. Clowns, a teenager from the 50’s, King Kong, a Boston Bobby, bums, witches, an artist, snoopy, and the doughboy. Then I remembered! It’s Halloween! Well, the youngsters were lined up and the parade journeyed down Main Street to Church, around the block and back up Main to the school. Along the route were little groups of people enjoying the parade. And while the parade was going on, the finishing touches were being applied to each classes' party. Helen Wenger turned into ‘Aunt Jemima* for Very busy and fun kind of day. Halloween at her job at The Village General Store.

DPI - November 11, 1985 Luigi Bagaloni, world famous spaghetti sauce gourmet and expert, arrived in Grand Rapids last Thursday evening at 5:00 p.m. in the trailer of a Steelcase truck. The truck was parked in the lot at Steelcase where it remained until 4:30 p.m. on Friday when it was backed up to a dock to be unloaded. It is reported that the dockhand who opened the door of the trailer was run over by what he claims was a talking ape which hit the ground at a dead run shouting “W’hicha way isa Middleville?" This is understandable since the Italian Sauce Wizard had not been able to bathe since his plunge into the bay at Aculpulco several weeks ago Something wearing a sign saying "Middleville Ora Bust" was reported by numerous people to be run­ ning south on Eastern Avenue. The members of the Middleville Rotary Club wish to apologize for the fact that Luigi did not have his hand in preparing the sauce for the Spaghetti Din­ ner held last Friday night. However, a janitor at the local high school found a sign on the ground outside the kitchen door Saturday morning Investigation reveals that this was the sign worn by Luigi on his trek from Brazil. Luigi made it! But not on time! His whereabouts are unknown. His sign is on display at the Sun and News office.

LETTERS Editor, Sun and News Dear Don. I guess I’m a bit late with the subscription, but I appreciate that you’ve continued to send the paper. I thought I’d write just a bit to let you know how much I’ve enjoyed the old hometown news, and how much I 've enjoyed encountering familiar names and learning pieces of information here and there about old friends and neighbors. I was particularly fascinated by the article in your September 19 issue concerning the Class of ’65’s 20year reunion. The names were, of course, all familiar to me, but when I looked at the photo I was sure that you'd made a mistake. While some of the faces were vaguely recognizable, most of those folks whom you claimed were my old classmates appeared — well, almost middle-aged. I think that perhaps the quality of the photo was bad. One of the fellows who faintly resembled an old high school chum appeared to be wearing a skull cap. I don't know much about photography, but there seemed to be considerable glare reflected from the top of his head. Probably a bad camera angle or something. Also, I noticed that almost everyone in the picture looked somewhat heavier than they should have. This may have something to do with the kind of lens the photographer used. My wife insists that none of the people in the photo look any older than I do, and that most of them have more hair. She enjoys aggravating me. Sincerely, Tim Sanders Commodities Distribution next Tuesday The date for the distribution of government com­ modities will be Tuesday, November 19, instead of the usual Wednesday. Cheese, butter, milk and rice will be given out from 10 a.m. until 4:15 p.m. at the Middleville Village Community Hall.

Members of the Thomapple Kellogg Education Association are asking parents, students, civic and business leaders to join in the nation's annual salute to U.S. public schools, American Education Week. This year s American Education Week observan­ ce will be celebrated November 17-23. James French, president of the TKEA, notes that a special week for education has been set aside ever since 1921. American Education Week is our com­ munity’s chance to spotlight the accomplishments and the needs - of our local public schools. The theme of this year’s national American Education Week observance is "America s Public Schools: the subject is excellence" and here are some national figures to help understand the ac­ complishments of our American public schools: DSome 80 percent of our young people currently graduate from high school and 65 percent of these graduates then attend college. 2) Of every 1,000 fifth graders in 1947, fifty-five percent graduated from high school and 28 percent entered college. Compare that with current figures that show that of every 1,000 fifth graders in 1970, 74 percent graduated from high school in 1977 and 43 percent entered college. 3) The top 5 percent of the U.S. school population is as skillful as the top 5 percent from any nation in the world, 4) Standardized tests show that today’s elemen­ tary school students read better than did their coun­ terparts tested in 1960. “We believe our local schools are doing an ex­ cellent job, but we also know there is room for im­ provement. To really strengthen our schools, we need the community ideas and perspectives that American Education Week can help generate,” ex­ plained French. American education week is co-sponsored nationally by the National Education Association, the American Legion, the U.S. Department of Education, the National PTA, and the National School Boards Association.

MiddteviHe, Ml / Nov. 14,1985 NEWS OF YOUR MIDDLEVILLE NEIGHBORS WESTSIDE with NORMA VELDERMAN Hi everyone! I m having a new experience and I m enjoying it very much. My ego has been badly deflated and I 'm learning from it. I’m taking a com­ puter class at the high school in the Adult Ed. I always figured I was of average intelligence ■ but I’m finding my mental gears are thick and need the oil changed. I'm quite shocked at my lack of reading skill, my slowness to catch a new idea, and sometime my sheer stupidity. The reason I m men­ tioning it is because I want you folks to appreciate what dedicated teachers we have. Miss Judy Hen­ drickson is our teacher. Her patience and en­ couragement is really something. Somethings I could take my head off and shake it. Mr. Kevin Briggs, Miss Huver and even Mary Eckert, the librarian, have helped me. All of them are willing to stop whatever they are doing, listen to my woes, and gently show me where I goofed. You'd think at my age I at least could read But here's a big thanks to all of them who are patiently helping and encouraging me. I'm finally beginning to get my mental gears in motion and beginning to feel a little more comfortable with it. MIDDLEVILLE’S ST.

Because of the new development going on next to Caledonia Foods on M-37. the site had to be taken down. This site has been very successful over the past three years indicating a real need by the residents of Caledonia and surrounding areas for an alternative to landfilling recyclable materials. We regret having to close the site but now hope it will only be tem­ porary. Anyone who knows of a possible new site location for the Caledonia Recycling Center can call 795-7897. RiBC greatly appreciates the support for recycling that Dick Carins, owner of Caledonia Foods has shown, and the dedication of the volun­ teer site checkers who have donated their time each week to help maintain the site. Until a new site is located in Caledonia, local recyclers are welcome to bring their clean clear glass (lids removed) and metal food cans and aluninum to the Middle Mart Party Store site on M-37 in Mid­ dleville. No newspapers, green and brown glass or plastic milk jugs can be accepted in Middleville, so please do not bring them. Probably the next closest recycling center in Kent County would be the Cascade D&W Food Center, 6425 28th Street or the Cutlerville Shop-Rite, comer of Eastern and S. Division. Clay Hills with WRETHA McNEE Last Saturday Bea and Harold Cutler went to Nashville, MI and attended the celebration honoring Pete Dull as Mason of the Year.

Ground was broken this week for a new retail mall in Caledonia, located at 9880 Cherry Valle S.E., just north of the Caledonia Shop Rite. The new mall, "Caledonia Country Corners," is being developed by Millie Wenger, a native Caledonian. She has been active in real estate for 25 years and is presently working with Coldwell Banker Lakeland. One of the first tenants of the mall will be Professional Pharmacy. Dave Hopkins, who owns Professional Pharmacy (formerly Smith Pharmacy) and The Village General Store (former Middleville Variety) in Middleville, will have a prescription counter in Shop Rite until his building is ready by the spring of 1986. Construction of the mall will be done by Art John- Looking for People to Run for Council Jobs son, also a Caledonia resident and a former of the Caledonia Foods (now Shop Rite). Millie is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. John Langkamp, who owned and operated the Caledonia Diary for approximately 42 years. Mrs. Langkamp is 92 and still very active and resides in the village Millie's late husband. Dobber (Warren) Wenger owned and operated a Standard station in the village and was township fire chief for 30 years. The Caledonia High tennis courts were named <n his memory. "The project is very challenging and exciting, and the people of Caledonia have been very supportive, and we thank them," said Millie. "Caledonia has always been my roots and it is a pleasure to create something lasting in the community. The land has been in the family for nearly 100 years. ” Barbara Getty won the *50.00 gift certificate for naming the new mall. The next Village of Caledonia election will be held on March 10, 1986. Anyone who would be interested in running for the Village Council must be a registered voter in the Village and must file a nominating petition with the Village Clerk no later than December 17, 1985. These petitions may be picked up at the office of the Village Clerk, 243 Maple, Caledonia.

Earlier this year, the state's Citizen Sand Dune Advisory Comittee recommended steps to strengthen the existing law which regulates sand mining in sensitive dune areas. The committee also suggested that the state pur­ chase some of the remaining, undeveloped dune formations in order to preserve them for future public enjoyment. I wrote to the Michigan Natural Resources Commission, endorsing the committee recommendations. I also urged that further action be taken to develop model zoning ordinances for private, residential development that local units of government could be encouraged to adopt in dune areas. Since then the DNR has initiated a one-year plan to work with local government, environmental and realtor organizations in developing a model zoning program. The purpose is not to prohibit residential con­ struction in dune regions, but to regulate growth in a manner that will prevent sand erosion and other damage to barrier dunes along the Great Lakes. Af­ ter a basic model ordinance is drafted the DNR plans to work with local communities in tailoring the zoning approach to particular dune areas. I have offered my assistance in this worthwhile effort — and will be monitoring their progress. Federal Wilderness Legislation. Pending before the United States Senate is a House-passed bill that would establish eleven wilderness areas in Michigan national forests. Wilderness designation means that the public land involved will be left in its natural state - without the development of any permanent, manmade structures or facilities. Such areas, however, are open for public use by hikers, hunters, fishermen, researchers and others who wish to ex­ perience nature untouched by civilization. The proposal before the U. S. Senate is a modest one. It would classify less than 90,000 acres, or about 3% of all national forest land in Michigan as wilderness acreage that already is being administered for this purpose. As one who in the 1970’s worked with former Up­ per Peninsula Congressman Philip Ruppe on the identification of potential areas for wilderness status, I strongly support the federal proposal. That’s why I recently testified before the Michigan House Appropriations Committee, expressing my opposition to a state legislative resolution urging our U.S. Senators to vote against the wilderness legislation. It was felt by many interested parties that this resolution might influence Senator Levin's decision concerning this issue I am pleased that the House Appropriations Committee chose not to act on the resolution - and that Senator Levin has an­ nounced his support for the wilderness bill. The Michigan Department of Management and Budget should investigate and take appropriate steps to correct the inflated wage rates paid to con­ struction workers at three prison sites in Ionia County, two mid-Michigan lawmakers stated. State Representative Robert Bender and Fred Dillingham have sent a letter to DMB Director Robert Naftaly seeking a review of current con­ struction contracts and calling for a halt to any future agreements until the wage issue dispute is settled The lawmakers charge that the Department of Labor violated the Michigan Prevailing Wage law Way back twenty years ago when The Sun and News switched from printing by "hot" type to the offset method we employed a high school senior to help us around the newspaper. Tim Sanders, as we recall, was a bright young man in the top ten of his class. But, alas, as so often happens with our young people, Tim left his hometown for "greener pastures" ... or whatever. Last week (if you read the Letters to the Editor) we printed Tim's comments about his TK High School class reunion. He also sent along a copy of "The Cherokee Sun, "published in his new home. Centre, Alabama Obviously being a modest man, Tim didn’t tell us that he now is a columnist for that newspaper, and we thought you would enjoy reading this one. He sent along some copies of other columns which we plan to run from time to time. (Tim didn't mention compensation for his literary efforts, but he must know that small town publishers are a pretty cheap lot. This one is no exception.) — Don Boysen, Editor :£ | jS $ & f 1 TIM SANDERS — S Perfecting the Gossip Column During my senior year in high school, back when the world was still young and Ronald Reagan was middle-aged. I worked for a small­ town newspaper — “The Middleville Sun.’’ Like small-town papers everywhere, the Sun contained a couple pages of local news stories, obituaries, a sports section, and considerable local advertising. And, like a multitude of such weekly papers throughout the country, it con­ tained several pages of local gossip columns, recounting the activities - shopping trips, hospital visits, family reunions - of selected community members who were contacted relentlessly, each and every week, by whichever columnist had jurisdiction in their area. These columns held no interest for me — in fact, they were an annoyance. In a world fraught with strife, with the Vietnam War heating up overseas and the civil rights movement boiling at home, who in their right mind would care to read about Mrs. DeKoenig's gallstones, or the Johnson’s shop­ ping trip to Grand Rapids? Certainly not a college-bound high school senior, weary of his small town surrounding and ready to sally for­ th and conquer the world. Well, it’s been twenty years since I left Mid­ dleville, and. last year, in a fit of sentimen­ tality, I subscribed to the old hometown paper. Aside from a few cosmetic changes, the paper is much the same as it was. The gossip columns haven’t changed much, either, but now I find myself reading each one carefully, looking for familiar names — old schoolmates, neighbors, family friends and the like. I no longer harbor my youthful disdain of the chatty little ar­ ticles, because they often offer me the only news of those folks who influenced my young life. For a hometown boy away from home, even gossip columns serve a purpose. There is a problem, though. I find that those columns offer only a smattering of infor­ mation, just enough to whet my curiosity and not enough to tell me what I want to know. Consider, for example, the following excerpts from a small town paper’s gossip column: •"Iris Doppler visited her brother, Merle VanOgle, over the weekend at his home in Traverse City.” •“Candy and Bob Bledsoe returned Friday night from the Country Fair in Hastings. Their friends, Lyle and Sally Scrimshaw, accom- by blending the rates of two different union jurisdic­ tions for workers at the Ionia prison, a nearby tem­ porary prison, and an 80-person housing addition at the Ionia camp. Bender wants his colleagues to postpone action on Senate Concurrent Resolution 416, which would in­ crease the authorized cost of the 480-bed temporary prison at Ionia from 84 million to 84.85 millinn “We think that much of the $850,000 in extra costs came from an arbitrary, illegal act by the Department of Labor. A thorough review of the situation is needed before any more construction funds are appropriated for any state facilities in Ionia County’ Bender said. Instead of applying the collective bargaining agreement of union jurisdictions for Easton Town­ ship. where the construction is occurring, the Labor Department blended the union scale wage rates of tw° junadktions to dramatically increase wage rates. “The department also illegally awarded double wages for work on Saturdays although almost all union contracts call for one-and-one-half pay for work on Saturdays,” Bender said. “Double time for electricians alone results in a cost to the taxpayer of more than $11.15 an hour more than normal over­ time wages.” panied them, and a good time was had by all. ” & •“Last Sunday Harley DeGrott suffered a >:• nasty fall at his home and was taken to & Blodgett Hospital where he is presently § recuperating. Best wishes, Harley!” Now, these newsy little items may be entertaining to some folks, but I, for one, would ap­ preciate a little more information. After all. I $ have twenty years to catch up on. Besides, if I & have to read gossip columns. I want details. & Like........ • Iris Doppler, the retired school teacher who s gained fame in our neighborhood by chasing & trick-or-treaters from her porch with a hockey stick last week, visited her brother in Traverse City over the weekend. Anyone with infor­ mation as to who put the Limburger cheese in her mailbox while she was gone can call Iris at 795-5662.” •"Talked with Lyle Scrimshaw Sunday. He and his wife Sally joined Bob and Candy Bled­ soe at the County Fair in Hastings Friday night. Don't know which I enjoyed more,' said Lyle, 'watching Bob’s toupee blow off on the ferris wheel or watching Candy jump up and down after winning that teddy bear. That girl still looks great in a sweater!' Candy, by the way, is the former Candy ’Jiggles’ Jarvis, class of '66. (Glad to hear that the family counseling sessions are coming along so nicely, Lyle)”. •“Harley DeGroot spent most of last weekend as he has spent his weekends since 1958 — numbed by peach brandy. Sunday af­ ternoon, however, brought something new. During a break in the San Francisco game, Harley opened the cellar door, intent on replenishing his supply of ‘medication’, and stepped on his wife’s cat. The cat responded by taking a large piece of meat from Harley’s leg before leaving, which caused Harley to become excited and jump into the air. This, of course, is not a wise move for a seventy-three year old man on the cellar stairway, and Harley suf­ fered a broken pelvis, bruised ribs, and frac­ tured leg. Also broken were four quarts of peach brandy. Hope you’re up and around soon, Harley.” Those are the kinds of human interest items I’d like to find in the gossip columns. They in- $ form, they instruct, they edify the reader. They tell you all you ever wanted to know, and more. £ According to the lawmakers, the inflated wages for electricians, bricklayers and laborers working at the Ionia Prison site alone will cost taxpayers $202,721. “At a time when Michigan’s criminal justice system is in a crisis and the need for prison space is critical, it seems shameful to squander hundreds of thousands of dollars that could be used to protect the public from convicted criminals,” Bender con­ cluded. /------------------------------------------------------------ w The4SunondNeu>s MMMonNt USFS 347190 1 24 E.

As you know, deer season opened last Friday. We haven’t been hunting in years, but always like to cheer on our friends who do go. And like most of us. we listen to the stories about the one that got away. Well, last Saturday the Grand Rapids Press had a nice article on some lucky hunters who got their deer. As I glanced at the pictures, I said "The man in the comer looks familiar. ” It was one of our hun­ ter friends. Later I called his wife and this is the story she told me. Saturday morning she was reading the Press and was feeling sad and lonely and just a little worried, and when she got to that page she had the same reaction as we had. "Boy that sure looks like my husband.” Then she read his name. She was excited, happy and mad, all at the same time. He hadn't called and told her, but then he never had called before. My friend and her youngsters went to the library where they had copies made of the picture in the paper. When they got home, they taped these pictures on the back door, on the mirror, all over the house. Then they went on with their errands. When he got home with his deer, he was met not by his family, but his own picture. They are still excited about his nice 6-point buck. Congratulations. There was also a nice 8 or 10 point buck in the back of a pickup truck parked on Main Street Friday. I didn’t stop to take a better look as I was in a hurry. But it sure was a nice looking deer. I saw a couple other deer too, hanging in a tree and on the backs of cars. Hugh and Annie said they saw several on the backs of cars on their travels this weekend. I talked with several excited girls (and adults) Monday evening. Job’s Daughters held their Frien­ ds Night and reception and the sidelines were full. Even the dessert auction was a success. Eleven members of the Top-O-Morning circle met at The Cherry Valley Junction for breakfast, then moved to the United Methodist Church lounge for their business meeting and election of officers. The secretary and treasurer for next year is Virginia Shook, vice president is Melba Kraft and president is Jean Soest. Tuesday evening 20 members and friends of Caledonia's Eastern Star met a the Masonic Temple for their regular meeting. School of Instruction is set for December 3, so get your books out, gang. Sandy and Beth Alkema called on relatives in the Caledonia area Friday. They got to the Soest house in time to help Debbie celebrate her 9th birthday. They had also called on Edythe Aldrich, Sally Niles and Annie Kegerreis. Rev. and Mrs. Adam Chyrowski are the gran­ dparents of twin granddaughters. Mr. and Mrs. Hugh Kegerreis visited Mr. and Mrs. Orville Allen of Farwell Sunday. Mr. Louts Schrouder was also there. Doug Allen had bagged his buck over the weekend. Mrs. Ed Good had an open house for her gran­ dson, Tommy Little and his new wife, Susanne, who will be leaving shortly for Germany. He is in the service. Mrs. Janet Proos called on the Richard Soest family Saturday. Mr. Ed Good got an 8-point buck on his hunting trip. George and Ginnie called on Mr. and Mrs. Richard Soest and girls Sunday afternoon. They got there just in time to help put bicycles in the basement and turn the Model A around. Friday, Sue and Robby Thompson, Beth and San­ dy Alkema and Shirley Soest helped Debbie celebrate her birthday with clown ice cream cones. Later Mr. and Mrs. Art Soest joined the Richard Soest family for dinner out. I jiRt Saturday the wedding of Dale Schiefla and Lee Settlemyre was held at the Leighton United Methodist Church. Congratulations to the newlyweds. The senior citizens are looking forward to the Thanksgiving dinner being put on by the Caledonia School at the high school on Wednesday. Nov. 20. Sunday.

The Sun and News, Middleville, Ml / Nov. 21, 1985 / Page 5 Caledonia Happy 60 Club Celebrates “Liberty*’ Monday Nov. 4, the Caledonia "Happy 60 Club" had their “Let's Celebrate Liberty with Thanksgiving” potluck dinner at St. Paul Lutheran Church with 54 Senior Citizens attending with their baskets of food for a joyous dinner.

To Pastui Schomberg for his prayers and to our cable anchor­ man Ken Gackler. And to each and everyone far and wide thru this “Great America," A Happy Thanksgiving. “Let’s All Give Thanks” written by Lillian Schultz President of Caledonia Happy 60 Club �Annual Holiday XT7 even though prices have more than doubled and raised the cost of living. Yet taxes have been raised over that time to help the state pay for inflated costs. It’s about time individual taxpayers get some help with inflation as well. This bill also allows senior citizens, low-income residents, and handicap­ ped persons to get double inflation relief since they claim double exemptions. A third bill allows senior citizens a substantial break on their property taxes It exempts homeowners who have a State Equalized Valuation of up to 165,000 on their homes from paying school operating taxes. The SEV 165,000 figure works out roughly to about SI30.000 fair market value, and is designed to help middle and low income seniors deal with the burden of fixed incomes and increasing property values. They have also usually been paying for school taxes for some time without having children in the system. It's important to note that this plan received bi­ partisan support in the Senate, and if the House and Governor are as serious as we are about cutting taxes they should be supporting our package. There’s no excuse not to help the individual tax­ payer if the state is as solvent as the Governor says. All estimates show a large surplus of money, and the Senate Fiscal Agency has projected a substan­ tial surplus putting the state’s budget in good shape. It’s about time we started working on put­ ting the individual taxpayer's budget in good shape, and with this tax cut we can do just that. FEEDER^ TK Girls Finish Season Page 6 / The Sun and News, Middlevitte, Ml / Nov. 21, 1985 CAP/TOL COLUMN by RICHARD POSTHUMUS STATE SENATOR J V The Senate scored a victory for every taxpayer in the state when it passed the Republican sponsored tax cut plan this week. This plan offers tax relief on all fronts from lower income and property taxes to higher personal exemptions. The cornerstone of the Senate Republican plan is a rollback of the state income tax to 4.6 parent. The Governor s tax plan calls for the same rollback but not until May of 1986. Since the governor has declared the state financially solvent as of Novem­ ber 8, we don’t see any reason to wait — especially when estimates on all sides show the state an­ ticipating a large surplus in revenues even with the rollback. The bill we've passed makes the rollback to the pre-Blanchard level of 4.6 percent retroactive to November 11, bringing immediate tax relief to all taxpayers if the plan passes the House. The second major portion of the plan indexes the •1600 personal exemption to the inflation rate. Per­ sonal exemptions have not been raised since 1973 DAY AFTER THANKSGIVING V Breeder's Club Calf Auction FRIDAY, NOV. 29'85 GRADING SHOW at 12 NOON BREEDERS SALE at 1:00 P.M. —SB— JtjjL lake Odessa ■' livestock Auction •fli ▼ ■■ Phone 616-374-8213 tggrjtrWrWmm DAIRY ARENA The Trojan JV Girls basketball team split two games last week.

You were busy - but as one woman said, “Nothing newsworthy.'’ It was rather a blah week, rainy and icky generally nasty. Some of you were painting and papering, getting ready for the holidays. I’ve been busy trying to dig out comers I've neglected too long. Have a good week, everyone. Talked to Dick Smith. He said it was the first time he’d missed deer hunting season in many years. He’s been having trouble with the leg that had surgery. He can just walk one short block without resting - says he's still able to work 4-5 hours at the drug store. They’re hoping the medication he's taking will help the arteries or veins sprout out new leaders. If not, he may have to go through the same operation again - which he hates even to think of. Dick says he does help around home because Bobbie is busy with her fifth graders.

Dr. Tom is Tom Pierce, formerly of Allegan and his wife Seus Ed­ wards. The couple now resides in Atlanta, Ga. This act brought much pleasure, as well as a message, to the audience. Dr. Tom and Seus presented the following: Joy - Dr. Tom worked very strenuously to cheer up a somber Seus. The Face Place. Dr. Tom was a disfigured in­ dividual who thought perhaps a new face would do him better. After many different trials, he settled for the same expressions with just a slight modification. The Dance showed a young couple who went to their first dance, their courtship and marriage and finally their responsibilities as parents. TK Middle School student Jerry Miner was chosen from the audience to participate in a few quick changes of Law Would Protect “Good Samaritans’’ Legislation that will protect “good Samaritans" who help school children in emergency situations has been signed into law by the governor. Sponsored by State Representative Paul Hillegonds, the new measure puts parent block programs under existing law to protect volunteers from civil suits arising out of an injury suffered by a child seeking help. "Thanks to this new law, parent block programs will be covered by the ’good Samaritan act’. It will provide the legal protection necessary for valuable volunteers concerned about the safety of school children," Hillegonds said. Parents in many school districts throughout the state tape a house or ‘helping hand’ symbol in their windows to alert children that they are willing to help in an emergency, Hillegonds explained. Under the new law, participating parents who give emergency assistance to school children in good faith would not be liable for civil damages whether an injury occurred through action or omission on their part. "They would still be liable for gross negligence or willful and wanton misconduct, " he continued. "The point is that even one lawsuit in a particular district could cripple a valuable program that protects children and promotes neighborhood safety. The issue was raised last year by the attorney for the Plainwell School District who expressed concern over the possibility that the volunteers and the districts themselves could be held legally accoun­ table for injuries. “If we had failed to take action, more of these programs might have been dropped for fear of high insurance premiums. By taking action now, we help Michigan's ‘good Samaritans’ do iheir job," Hillegonds concluded. pointed to fill the unexpired term until the next Village election in 1986.

Ayes all, carried. Meeting adjourned at 9:30 p.m. Cheryl Hooper Village Clerk facial expression. He was given a Polaroid photo as a souvenir. The Marathon was born from ideas they received in Atlanta, the theme being that even if you push and shove your way through the human race, you could end up not finishing first. Pills was dedicated to a Los Angeles friend of theirs who was "mixed up with more than aspiron". Dr. Tom displayed through his actions how easy it is to get started on and dependent to drugs. The final act was dedicated to "the wonderfully weird people you would find at a bus stop". Dr. To m an Seus were two totally different people at the same bus stop. She, an elite professional woman with newspaper under arm and he a misbuttoned, hat-on-backward, nerd. From an ordinary brown bag he was able to entertain us to his consumption of an apple, the chugging of a bottle of soda pop. his use of an electric shaver, the plight of a chicken, and, last of all, a motorcycle complete with sound effects. She was finally forced to submit to his way of things because the bus was late. Upon completion of the assembly, the mime team conducted workshops with the students to teach some of the techniques of this art.

Ml I Nov. 28.1985 NEWS OF YOUR MIDDLEVILLE NEIGHBORS WESTSIDE with NORMA VELDERMAN k__________________________________ J Would you believe that two-thirds of you either had no news or I couldn't get you? Guas you're all getting ready for Thanksgiving, or it was just the shock of our first snow and cold. Wasn't it nice to see two of our local boys setting up business together here in the old home town? Harold Fisher and Scott McKeown both were in our youngest son’s class. I’ve seen Scott across the road from us occasionally. But Harold sure looks dif­ ferent than I remembered. But then guess I don't look much like I used to either. Wonder where they’ll have their offices? I'll have to show Dave the paper when he comes home at Thanksgiving. We had a nice Heritage group meeting. Dave and Lorraine Otto showed us their slides. Switzerland is sure beautiful. My, what a modern, lovely bus they traveled on. The Swiss countryside is like the pic­ ture postcards I've seen, so many flowers in window boxes and around the buildings. Pat Hilty said Jerry’s taking this week off for vacation. Have a good one, Jerry. Brooke VanElst had her birthday party on Friday night. Dave and Sandy went out for dinner Satur­ day for their anniversary and it seemed good to be 'Dave and Sandy' - not always Dad and Mom. Sure helps the perspective - but at the same time you feel kind of lost. Bob White said he went deer hunting but no luck. I told him Johnny didn’t have any luck either. Ac­ tually, I think Johnny got a big bang out of the way the deer played hide and seek with him. He’d leave a place and look back, and there they were back where he had been. Or they jump out ahead - out of range. Pat Schondelmayer said grandson Todd Overmire got his first buck, a nine-point, on their land. Daughter Susan Stiver spent the night with Pat while Glen was up at Brevort hunting. Mrs. Featherly and girls had just finished wiping the last cup and were relaxing on a big family day Some grandchildren from Battle Creek surprised them by dropping in. Bob Kenyon came home from deer hunting Thur­ sday, but no luck. Ann and Art Kenyon attended the Soup Dinner at the Reformed Church Friday. Harold and Mary Noah and brother Paul Leach were up north for 2 or 3 days this last week. Rollo and Mae Bowerman visited her brother, the John Woodmans, just south of Channel 41 tower Sunday. Liz and Doug Hart attended Sue Kaechele and Mark Allison’s wedding Saturday. The Holy Family Choir sang for the wedding and Doug was a part of the choir. Someone turned the tables on me tonight and asked what I’d been doing this week. I went blank for a minute and then really couldn’t think of much. Just trying to catch up all my back chores - as much as my eyes would let me, making stuff for the hospital - catch up on my darning and try to get some Christmas presents started. Not really news worth, but I manage to keep busy. And, oh yes! My beloved computer learning. I’m still going to school, plugging away at that, trying to catch up. I’m a slow learner, but am getting there. Just hoping Santa will feel sorry for me and leave me one to practice on at home, so I can forget the winter roads. USE THE CLASSIFIEDS! F.

The Wengers are thankful today, not that Thad fell off the hogbarn roof, but that his injuries are not as serious as they might have been. As of Tuesday morning. Thad is a patient at Pennock Hospital with a fractured pelvis, a fractured left wrist and possible skull fracture. We pray for a quick return to his home and a speedy recovery Since there doesn’t seem to be an abundance of news this week- I'm going to grab the opportunity to fill up some time and space thinking about the things I ’m thankful for this Thanksgiving week. I'm thankful to you readers for giving me the op­ portunity to visit each week. It works two ways, you see. First I get to visit with the neighbors I can reach by phone - whether they have "newsy” items or not. Then I get to visit with you. We keep in touch - we feel close. I’m thankful for my family - including those who have gone before me, for they are my link with eter­ nity. and those who will come after, for I am theirs (Please, Lord, help me be a good one)... for their put­ ting up with my idiosyncrasies, my (occasional!) for­ getfulness. for their love and support. I'm thankful to be able to work and to have a job to work at... and to always have enough things to do at home when and if I choose to do them. I’m thankful to men like Tim Sanders who. after 20 years, can admit that although the gossip columns” change little, people and their opinions of them do. (If you only knew. Tim. how often we would like to ‘ tell the rest of the story ” as you so neatly put it. Sometimes it would be hilarious sometimes not kind • so we don’t. Conjecture is much more fun anyhow.) I’m thankful I can worship in the church of my choice - more importantly for a God I can pray to. who listens. And I plan to be thankful for a great turkey din ner, which I will not have to fix this year as we will be guests at the home of Tom and Brenda Bremer Thankful, too, for the anticipated visit of son Dave. Colleen and family from Missouri, and that we were just able to spend two full days with son Ken, Vicky and family in Wilmore, Kentucky. Tom and I, with my sister Trudy Truax of Wayland, left early Thursday morning, enjoyed a beautiful sunny day to travel and arrived in Wilmore in mid-afternoon. Vicky joined Trudy and I on Friday for a leisurely visit to the annual Lexington Center Christmas Craft show - our minds were boggled. We helped granddaughter Christy celebrate her 8th birthday on Saturday -- and found an antique mall in the small town nearby that seemed to stretch on and on. (we were told they had over 90 consignors - what fun we had looking and remembering). Left for home early Sunday morning and (again) are thankful for a safe trip home. Have a thankful Thanksgiving, everyone. �The Sun and News, Middleville, Ml / Nov. 28, 1985 / Page 7 CLASSIFIED ADS Christmas Seals: A 78-Year Tradition PLACE YOUR ADVERTISING MESSAGE HERE — 795-3345 WANTED v------------> THANKS V--------------- —---------------- / WANTED: Single male needs onebedroom house or apartment in Caledonia.

Enjoy your­ selves today because in just 27 days Christmas will be here. Have you been shopping lately. If you can find a place to park your car, and you safely make it inside the stores, you are met by what appears to be thousands of people. You may want to stop and look at pots and pans, but if you do, you get run over by the herds of people. Mostly, though, you just get shoved along by the rest of the crowd. And when you finally manage to break loose and find your car and make it home ... do you dare open the bags you are carrying? Are those your purchases? Did you really buy that awful top for Aunt Sue? No matter? No way are you going to brave that crowd to ex­ change it for a worse one. Now you know how I feel about shopping at this time of year. Patti and Craig Kobza were here from Naples, Florida, on a business trip, so they stayed with her parents, Carl and Marcia Yonkers, for the weekend of November 16 and 17. Laat Monday evening about 270 people attended Caledonia Elementary school’s roller skating party at the Kentwood Arena. Young and old alike were on skates. Tuesday, many were feeling the fun they had on Monday. I know of one small foot that still sports a band-aid. Caledonia Elementary School, the Girls Basket - ball team and the community itself will greatly miss a great man in the passing of Paul Peterman. Saturday Mr. and Mrs. Richard Soest and girls called on Mr. and Mrs. Art Soest. Mr. and Mrs. Hugh Kegerreis called on Mrs. Edythe Aldrich Saturday afternoon. Sunday was the Hanging of the Greens at the Caledonia United Methodist Church. Does that mean that the Christmas tree is decorated. Next Sunday is the Caledonia United Methodist Women's Christmas tea. I'm looking forward to it. I hope some of you are. too. Caledonia Elementary School's kindergarteners will be hosting a Thanksgiving program Wednesday morning for their parents and grandparents. Congratulations to a couple of “newlyweds.’’ Mr. and Mrs. Donald McDiarmid celebrated their golden wedding anniversary Saturday, Nov. 23. And Mr. and Mrs. Wilbur Noffke will celebrate their 60th wedding anniversary on Tuesday, Nov. 26. Happy Birthday to Barb Freeman whose birthday was Nov. 24. and Loralynne Clark, whose birthday was the 25th. Caledonia Elementary students are selling candy as a fundraiser. The money they make will go towards the playground project the P.T.O. is working on. Orders are to be turned in December 2. These would make nice Christmas presents for the ones who have everything. I’m sure any Caledonia Elementary student from grades 1 - 6 would be willing to sell you several boxes. Just ask. Ann VerMerris from Gun Lake was a Sunday din­ ner guest of John and Bertha King.

The Middleville Lions Club is again spon­ soring this event, and this Saturday’s event will be held at 1 p.m., but will be marching from the Middle School to the Village Com­ munity Hall. The parade will assemble by about 12:30 p.m. at the Middle School parking lot and at 1 p.m. march down West Main Street, up East Main through downtown Middleville, ending at the Community Hall. Santa will greet the kids at the Com­ munity Hall if the weather is not good; but, if weather permits, he will return down the street to the Sesquicentennial Park (on the old mill site next to the river) and dispense his ‘’goodies” there. On the way up the street, the parade will stop briefly at the Park and the deed from the Lions Club will be presented to the Village President Vai Owen. The Lions Club purchased the old mill several years ago and after its removal developed the park. Now they are donating the Park to the Village of Middleville. Floats or units are still welcome for the parade, reports Parade Chairman Bill Kenyon. The Lions are giving prizes in the amount of $50 first, $30 second and $20 third. The VFW has also donated candy for Santa to give to the children. If you want to take part in the parade, call Bill at 795-3369 (days) or 795-3669 (nights).

See Inside! �Page 2 / The Sun and News, Middleville, Ml / Dec. 5,1985 Tim Sanden readers' letters December 2,1985 Dear Mr. Editor. Thia community is facing a very serious problem, to which the solution does not seem easy. Our fire department has been split by apparent poor leader­ ship and lack of adequate safety precautions. What happens next? Do we stay with those who have chosen to defy being challenged, by a group of con­ cerned, dedicated young men who dared to speak up and let someone know that problems existed? Several months ago another fireman dared to challenge and was left with no decision but to leave. My concern is for my family and friends. What if — a major fire occurred at one of our schools or fac­ tories? As it stands rig;ht now, we have several old retired men and stand-ins (with no training) to run trucks, use Scott air packs and save lives. This is tragic! I understand, of the seven men who were forced to leave our fire department, one is a state qualified teacher of fire procedures. Another was recently a Wyoming dty fireman. They are all trained, capable and intelligent young men. Somehow a solution must be found, or is this yet another story of “you can’t fight city hall.” Name withheld by request To the Editor: Subject: The problems of the MiddlevilleThomapple Township Fire Department. I would like to encourage the resident of Mid­ dleville and Thomapple Township to attend the next Township Board meeting on December 9, 1985 at 7:00 p. m. in the Township Hall. We need to have these problems with the Fire Department resolved. A concerned resident Beverly A. DeWitt December 3, 1985 Letter to the Editor Re: Volunteer Fire Department/Ambulance Service In response to Mrs. Egleston’s letter to the Editor, and for other residents of our fire and am­ bulance area, who may share her concern, I will at­ tempt to answer questions posed in last week’s Sun and News. As Chief of the Middleville-Thomapple Township Fire Department and Thomapple Township Am­ bulance Service, I have to respect the opinions and actions of the other members of the two services. This is best described by the Preamble of the Depar­ tment by-laws, as follows: "The members of this department, in order to maintain a more perfect union among themselves, establish discipline, define duty, insure tranquility, and promote the objects for which they are associated, do ordain and adopt the following code of laws for government of said depar­ tment.” The six suspended members have not affor­ ded the department this respect. I have only received one letter of resignation within the past six months. The question was asked, "Why?” Idealism? Although the rest of the depar­ tment and I do not agree with them. "Protection of your home and businesses?” At any given time several men can be absent due to various factors. This is an ever present concern of volunteer fire departments and for this reason we have mutual aid agreements with 12 other area departments. Should simultaneous alarms, or any crisis requiring more personnel and/or equipment than is available locally occur, we shall call mutual aid for assistance as has been done in the past. You may remember the excellent response from the mutual aid departments at the time of the hotel fire when 14 departments assisted with personnel and/or equipment in minus 24 degree weather. As of November 24, the local department was back to full strength, with only 2 of these men being untrained. Your home and businesses are protected. "What is the problem?” I do not believe it to be in the best interest of the people involved to divulge details of inter-departmental problems involving manners, discipline, psychology', getting along with others and various other areas The volunteer fire system in this community was established formally in 1920 and since that time many men have unselfishly devoted untold hours towards the welfare of the residents. The fire service Exploding Chickens and Other Mishaps Last week I blew up a chicken. I should point out that the chicken was already dead before I blew her up, and that I didn’t use explosives, only a pressure cooker. She was in the pressure cooker at the time, and had been there for quite a while, waiting to come to dinner. My wife had gone shopping, and left instructions that the chicken was to be left alone until she returned, when she would make something out of it for dinner This was good advice, but she (my wife, not the chicken) was gone longer than I expec­ ted, so I told the boys that good old Dad would fix dinner. After all, the chicken was already done, and all I had to do was warm her up nothing so tough about that. So I turned the burner on until the little gizmo on the top of the cooker started to jiggle and hiss, which let me know that the chicken was warm. Then I did what seemed reasonable - I grabbed hold of the handles and tried to pry them apart to open the lid. They were tighter than I had ex­ pected, but I finally got them to move, and when I gave a good healthy yank the lid flew off with a resounding "BOOM" and the chicken, or at least the majority of her, shot in­ to the air. Some of the bird landed on my arm, most of her landed on the floor next to the dog’s dish, and the rest of her (at least the par­ ts that weren’t scattered over the stove topi we found later, wedged between the stove and the cupboard. The boys seemed to find the incident interesting, and in fact the youngest was sorely disappointed when I told him that I would not do it again so he could watch. My wife, when she returned, was sorely disappoin­ ted for different reasons. She claimed that she had intended for the chicken to become a casserole, not a basketball and she went on to make several rather negative comments about my intelligence. Now, my wife likes to remind me that this is not the first time I’ve run into problems in the kitchen. She insists that whenever I try to fry anything in the skillet I tend to get a lot of grease all over things, and enjoys telling folks how I’ve managed, on more than one occasion, to explode eggs in the microwave. When, in my own defense, I try to explain that these kinds of things could happen to anyone, she brings up the time when I mistook a can of cornmeal for instant potatoes and tried to force the kids to eat the stuff. (That may be true, but she was has worked and grown with the area and will con­ tinue to serve in many years to come. How many ever think of these men on a day-to-day basis? Believe me — they are thinking of you. They deserve your trust and support. My question to you all: Do the two departments continue to grow with the 27 people or with the six on suspension? Are all of these people, including myself, wrong? R.A.Kenyon, Chief Middleville-Thomapple Township Fire Department Thomapple Township Ambulance Service OBITUARIES the one who put the cornmeal in that can. and she was the one who put the little tiny label on that can, which nobody would have noticed unless they had been looking for it.) She, like many women, will tell anyone who will listen that most men have no business in a kitchen, and that without their wives the majority of american men would starve or die of ptomaine poisoning. I, for one, feel that this is a rather narrow-minded view of things. I would like to point out that when I was growing up, men-folks were seidome allowed in the kitchen. Girls took home economics cour­ ses in school, and boys took wood shop. In those long gone days, before the advent of the sexual revolution and women’s liberation, that was the natural order of things, and most of us matured and married without ever learning the difference between a spatula and an egg beater. Now, I’ll admit that I’m still a little old fashioned — I don’t want to learn to crochet or do needlepoint, or even to play the piano, for that matter — but I think that I’m broad min­ ded enought to try my hand at cooking every once in a while. The thing is, for those of us who grew up in the dark ages, the kitchen is still alien territory. Our wives need to under­ stand this, and be a little more patient. They also need to give us a hand. They could help out, for example, by putting all of those funny looking powdery substances like com meal and flour and instand potatoes into containers that look alike. They could post the microwave instruction booklet on the refrigerator door where we can see it. They could try not to get so upset when we ask them what the devil the difference is between a slow boil and a fast boil, and they could allow us a little room to experiment without going to pieces and running us out of the house with a broom every time we screw up. And another thing they could do — they could contact the folks who market pressure cookers and demand that they put a warning label on each and every one they sell. You could kill yourself with one of those things. i Tim Sanders writes a weekly column in the Cherokee Sun, published at his home in Centre, Alabama Tim, a native of Middleville, was em­ ployed by the Sun and News during his senior high school days.

LAST a HOURS M T-S 10-5 30 WTH-F IOS PHONE 891 9243 CHRISTIANS Quality in Fashion todies Apparel - Caledonia Village Centre Child protection has become a major issue in recent years, but the foster care system has not been included in the question until now. Members of the Senate are moving toward reform of the current laws governing foster care in this state and from all the evidence, it’s about time. Based on recommendations of the Coleman Commission, the Senate is taking a look at reforms needed in the foster care system. The Coleman Commission was formed in 1982 by former Michigan Chief Justice Mary Coleman, to study the system which even then had problems. Recent news stories of children in unlicensed foster homes, and children involved in trauma, have made this an issue that needs to be seriously addressed. We plan to introduce a series of bills defining foster care criteria and bringing greater legislative and judicial oversight to the foster care program. The bills will set clear guidelines for removing children from their natural homes, and will clarify the role of the court. They will also set up frequent reviews by the court to determine the next step in an overall case plan. A legislative oversight committee would be formed to monitor the status of children in out-of-home situations. Almost 10,000 children are currently under the state's foster care program, with another 1,800 un­ der similar jurisdiction by the court. The cost is estimated at over S7o million a year. And the millions spent on foster care don’t begin to take into account the cost to society. Studies show a sur­ prising number of abused children end up either as abusive parents or in the hands of the criminal justice system both as juveniles and adults. Current law does not provide the specific guidelines needed to make the system work to benefit the child and normalize conditions as quickly as possible. Under the new legislation, the child's welfare and need for a permanent home will take precedence, which has not always been the case. Foster care is an important protection available to the children of our state who need a shelter from abuse, but it's no shelter unless it works. These reforms will be a step toward making it work for the children, foster parents, the court system and the state. Caledonia Women’s Club Has Full Schedule Planned The Caledonia Woman’s Club met at the Alaska Area Township Hall on November 21. President Fairbrother introduced Mr. Steve Utic from the United States Department of Agriculture Soil Con­ servation Service who spoke on soil erosion and the results of the 1982 soil survey of Caledonia Town­ ship. He stated that in Michigan 35% of all jobs ar? agriculture related, and included farming, services to farmer and grower, as well as marketing of food and plants. The ISDA also works with farmers to make the best use of their soil, with youth to en­ courage them to recognize the importance of far­ ming and with developers to use marginal land to its best effect. The rnnual Spring sale of trees to the public is used to pay secretaries for the Soil Conser­ vation District offices. At this time every county in Michigan has a Soil Conservation Agent, but these Districts were writ­ ten out of the 1986 budget. Congress did restore the appropriation to the budget, but there is some con­ cern that eventually this important service to far­ mers will be drastically reduced. Mr. Utic en­ couraged all those attending to write their legislators and senators to keep the good work going. President Fairbrother then spoke about the Con­ servation program of the General Federation of Woman’s Clubs in conjunction with the Department of Agriculture. Michigan and Iowa are the only states in the nation to be chosen to assist in this program. She told of the effort to have volunteers to help in the Soil Conservation District Offices, and other services, and the Ding Darling proram. Ding Darling was a famous Soil Conservationist in Iowa, and he also did many cartoons about the need for soil conservation. Computer programs in his name have been written for young people in the elemen­ tary and junior high level to solve problems for what to do about land development and conservation. The whole program is made up of books, film strip and computer disc. After a short test of the program, the Woman’s Club voted to buy a set of programs for each of the Caledonia Community Elementary and junior high schools at a cost of S25 per program. Guests present were Marcia Wells, Caledonia Director of Education and Dr. Donald Lazerus, principal of Kettle Lake Schools, they both assured the Woman’s Club that the schools will be able to use the programs in many ways. They can be ap­ plied to F.F.A., Science, Mathematics, Problem Solving in Society, and Community Planning. The students of today are going to have to make many decisions in later years about the use of land, and this will give them some experience in making these decisions. Eva Engle, Education Chairman of the Woman’s Club, reported that the State Bank of Caledonia will sponsor Sallie Clark, a Caledonia Community School sophomore, to the Hugh O’Brien Youth Seminar in Big Rapids next May. The Caledonia Woman’s Club will sponsor a sale of poinsettias and petit fours at the State Bank of Caledonia on December 6 to fund their scholarship program. Plants may be ordered in advance by calling Mrs. Fairbrother at 891-8880, or purchase directly at the bank. The price of each plant is S4.50. Last year’s sales netted the club enough money to grant three scholarships to local Caledonia senior girls. Members of the Caledonia Woman's Club will be working to wrap packages at the Santa Claus Girls on December 13, from 10:00 to 2:00. Workers are to bring a sack lunch and dress comfortably.

Middleville, Ml I Dec. 5, 19851 Page 7 Rep. Bender Drafts Legislation for AIDS Testing Reports that an inmate in the Oakland County Jail is infected with the disease AIDS (acquired immune deficiency syndrome) has prompted State Representative Bob Bender to draft legislation that would require the Michigan Department of Correc­ tions to test all incoming inmates for the disease. Bender, a member of the House Corrections Committee, stated that at the present time, there are no guidelines for AIDS victims for corrections officials to follow. This lack of any regulations has created problems between prison guard unions and the Department of Corrections. “It is clear that our prison system must test each incoming inmate for the disease and place those who are afflicted, or who carry the virus, in isolation to prevent widespread contamination of other in­ mates," Bender explained. "There clearly is a problem between the prison guards and officials at the Michigan Department of Corrections. The Michigan Corrections Organization claims that there are four inmates with AIDS within the prison system, while the Department claims there are none. The two sides are in the process of ironing out their differences, but it is clear to me that legislation is needed to protect the public health of both inmates and guards who come in contact with them," Bender concluded.

November 27, they were all put together as a program. Parents and grandparents gathered in Caledonia Elementary School's gymnasium as about 80 students from the morning and afternoon kin­ dergarten classes sang songs about the turkey that grew so fat and meeting a turkey. They danced to the Turkey Lurkey. (We adults should try putting our tail feathers in and shaking them all about!) We then heard Indian songs, We are Indians Tall and Brave, John Brown had a Little Indian, to name just a few. (Why do the kids like the noisy parts the beat?) They ended the program with songs about Thanksgiving. Have you heard about the Five Little Pilgrims? Each class had a special part where just their class had the floor. AU classes did a good job. A big thank you to their teachers, Mrs. Sandy Hyde and Miss KeUy. And the last event of the program was the part the students liked best. We all moved to the cafeteria for pumpkin and banana bars, which the students had helped to make. DO YOURSELF A FAVOR....

The Thomapple Township Board will hold a special meeting on Monday, December 16. to act upon the recommendation of the Fire Department chief to expel six suspended firemen from the depar­ tment. Chief Robert Kenyon submitted a letter to the board following a heated discussion concerning the suspended firemen at the regular meeting of the board on Monday night of this week. At Monday’s meeting, the firemen in question will be heard by the board and have the option of meeting with the board in a closed session. At the meeting this week, the packed hall of over 100 people heard comments from “both sides’’ in the controversy that erupted on November 23 when Chief Kenyon suspended the firemen for 30 days. In his letter to the board, Kenyon stated the men Following Middleville’s Christmas Parade on the deed was presented to Village President Vai Saturday, the Lions Club formally presented the Owen.

Since the suspension of the firemen, there have been numerous news articles in the media, some of which were hotly contested by the Chief and his of­ ficers as being inaccurate and misleading. In fact, the Chief stated that his reason for asking for ex­ pulsion of these firemen came about “in view of the suspended personnel’s actions within the past two weeks. “ The six suspended firemen include Jeffery Bauer, Brian Bennett, Randy Eaton. Rick Erway, Terry Kelley and Terry Tolan. They were all present at Monday s meeting of the township board, as were most of the firemen and ambulance personnel still on the service.

I Tim Sanders Feeling Good All Under If you were to believe modern advertising, almost everyone is vitally interested in men’s underwear. Magazine ads depict athletic types lounging individually in seductive 11 guess that’s what it’s supposed to be) poses in their B.V.D.’s, or in groups, just hanging around the locker room comparing their designer briefs. On television commercials, there seems to be a whole herd of old ladies, matronly types, who either talk to little men dressed up like grapes and bananas about underwear, or make a living as inspectors, stretching elastic waistbands until their lose their elasticity. Everyone con­ cerned seems hell bent on making us feel “good all under” and making us feel guilty if we don’t look "good all under”, too. I’ve always felt a bit out of place, what with all of the emphasis on good looking, great feeling underwear. I was raised in an era where most grown men wore only boxer shorts, and accepted the fact that almost everybody looked silly in his underwear. That, I assumed, was why men wore pants - because they wouldn't have wanted to be seen walking around without them. Underwear, so it seemed to me, was purely functional, and therefore what it looked like was of little consequence. I did develop a strong prejudice against boxer shorts, but other than that, I was always fairly noncommittal about my underwear. I only had two rules. My underwear should be clean, and relatively untattered. Since I seldom go out in public without my pants, it never seemed to matter that I wasn’t wearing bikini style designer briefs in pastel blue with double-knit reinforced waistband. Who would notice? The other day my wife noticed, and made mention of the fact that my underwear was beginning to look a bit worn, and rather tat­ tered around the edges, and it occurred to me that wives and mothers have always been the unofficial protectors and guardians of under­ wear for men and boys alike. When I was a small boy, my mother always insisted that I wear clean underwear daily. It seemed unreasonable to me, but her reasoning never varied. "If you were in an accident, and had to go to the hospital,” she'd say, “you certainly wouldn’t want to be wearing dirty underwear. ” There were times, of course, when I managed to sneak out of the house wearing underwear that was less than immaculate, but I always knew I did so at great risk. The scene in the hospital emergency room always hovered around the corners of my mind: “That’s a nasty head wound, nurse. And I think his arm is broken. Clean and disinfect the wound, make him comfortable, and check his underwear.’’ "Yes, doctor. Let’s see. now. Mmm-mm. Oh, that’s very bad. It’s much worse than we d expected, doctor.” “The cuts and abrasions, or the arm?" "It’s worse than that, sir. It’s .. It’s his un­ derwear. It’s in a horrible mess. Come and look for yourself.” “Ah .. Oh, my. That’s very bad. Very bad. With underwear like that, I’m afraid there’s nothing we can do. You’d better have the nurse at the desk call his parents .. and a minister." It was an irrational fear, of course, and now that I’m older I think I understand the real reason behind all of the feminine concern with masculine underwear. It all became clear several years ago when I spent some time in a Birmingham hospital and overheard two nurses discussing a patient who had jdst checked in. “He’s not a bad looking fellow,” said one. "No, he's not. But did you see that under­ wear?’’ I sure did. And it was tacky. Very tacky. Do you think he’s married?" "I wouldn’t think so. Any wife worth her salt would be mortified to send her husband out wearing underwear like that. ” "You’re right. Men are such idiots when it comes to things like that. They need guidance and training.” "Poor things.” So I suppose I shouldn’t be too surprised at those guys in the ads, hanging around the locker room, showing off their new briefs. Their mothers or their wifes put them up to it. In fact, I wouldn’t be too surprised if my wife got me some underwear for Christmas - just in case I have to go to the hospital. I’d certainly hate for her to be embarrassed.

Below are some of the reasons why I give you a superior and complete job: ■I My cases consist of %" side panels with H" backs and %" shelves — all dadoed, rabbeted and glued into the sides all of wood. No 3/16 or 5/16 particle board that sags and flakes apart bl My drawer heads, sides, backs are all %" plywood with K" wood bottoms. These are set and glued into rabbet and dado joints. No hardboard and vinyl wrapped particle board frequently found in manufactured cabinets c) My H " shelves are either permanently glued into dado joints or made adjustable with steel supports no sagging panicle board that rests in shallow grooves or on light plastic pins. d) My toekicks are toekicksl Not particle board found on most cabinets that gets kicked in or disintegrated from wet mopping of kitchen floors a) My stiles and rails are all glued, screwed, doweled and nailed as continuous strips to the separate cabinet frames - giving the truly built-in look and eliminating the unsightly seaming and fillers that come with the manufactured cabinets because ti'ey are sold in 3“ increments. f) My country style knotty pine door and drawer fronts are full % " tongue and groove vee joint with connector strips glued and screwed mto the becks No veneered hard­ board panels that manufacturers typically staple mto place g) I use all name brand hardware with screws.. no light gouge stool ano staples h) My below competitive cabinet paces include mstakotion — a real savings — no need to look for a separate installer and another substantial price added onto your manufac­ tured krtchon. t) I am self employed, licensed, insured. have professional exponenco n kitchen design, and a B.S degree m cabinet making If this is the quality you desire, at below wholesale pricing, then call G.

I could have been writing items all week, but I didn’t, so now I’m hurrying. Again. I guess my mot­ to is don't do anything today if you can do it tomorrow. Christmas trees were on a lot of people's minds last week end. As you were driving around the city, one out of ten cars had a Christmas tree in its trunk or on its top. Have you got your tree up yet? We do. Caledonia Elementary school youngsters turned in their candy orders last week and this week they will be bringing their orders home to be delivered. Looks like they did a terrific job. Tuesday evening, December 3, the members and friends of Caledonia’s Eastern Star met at the Masonic Temple for their annual School of Instruc­ tion. Each member was asked to bring a small gift to put in a Christmas stocking and each chapter was to furnish two Christmas stockings. These will go to the Masonic Home in Alma in time for Christmas. The weather man didn't help too much with the Junior High's Fine Arts Fair last Thursday. Snow all over the place. But for those who made it. it was well worth their time. Caledonia Elementary ’s P.T.O. Santa s Workshop was held Saturday. Dec. 7. I helped in the cookie booth where youngsters got to decorate their own cookies. It was an experience. Kids and adults all over the place and most had their arms full. The kids really enjoy making some of their own presents. The adults enjoy the bazaar. So in general the Santa s Workshop is a success. Especially when the tickets have to be recycled. Mr. and Mrs. Hugh Kegerreis called on Mrs. Edythe Aldrich Saturday afternoon. Sunday Mr. and Mrs. Art Soest had one of San­ ta's elves call on them while they were gone for a ’few’ minutes. When they returned they had a pret­ ty poinsettia on their table. Wonder who did that? I 'm going to have to really be careful now who I wave at - Hugh has a new car.

State Police Fire Marshall Offers Holiday Fire Prevention Tips In the interest of holiday fire safety, the State Police Fire Marshal Division and local fire depar­ tments join in cautioning Michigan residents about the use of natural and artificial decorative materials. Officials say every year tragic fires involving loss of life, property and personal injury occur due to the unsafe or improperly maintained holiday decorations. For a safer holiday, the following precautions are suggested. 1. Before natural trees are set up, the trunk of the tree should be freshly cut at least one inch above the original cut and maintained in a container of clear water. Tree stands must be able to provide adequate support and should have a large reservoir for water. 2. A tree showing signs of unusual dryness should be removed from the residence immediately. 3. Trees should not be located in residence exit areas. 4. Artificial trees should bear testing labels in­ dicating they are “flame-resistant. 5. Electrically operated or lighted tree stands and electric light sets should bear testing laboratory labels and should be examined for defects prior to use. 6. Use of electric lights on trees should be super- vised by responsible persons. 7. If metallic trees are used, no electrical lights or wiring should be placed on or in contact with the tree. Use of candles or any open flame near decorations is strongly discouraged. Dispose of Christmas wrappings safely and promptly. Do not burn them in the fireplace. 9. A portable fire extinguisher should be readily accessible in the event of fire. All family members should become familiar with its operating procedures. 10. Post telephone number of your local fire depar­ tment at each telephone. .... c If you have any questions about holiday fire safety, contact your local fire or building depar­ tment. or the nearest State Police post.

December 7, the Trojan girls met defending state champion Newaygo in the Regional finals. Newaygo jumped to an early 18-6 first quar­ ter lead, and the local team was never able to over­ come the deficit, although the lead dwindled to 2520 with 2 minutes left in the first half.

Trena Yonkers also did well by grabbing 7 secondhalf rebounds, while Denise VanDuine garnered 6 steals in a very good team effort which saw TK shoot 50% from the floor.

Dear Mr. Hallberg and students You deserve an apology for the rude behavior from your adult audience at your music program Monday night. There were many of us in the audience that went to the program to hear our children perform and we were denied that pleasure because of the large num­ ber of parents creating disturbances. If the roles were reversed with the parents on stage and the children in the audience, there would have been many children escorted out of the auditorium! What kind of example was this for our children? How will they know how to behave at public functions if their parents aren't able to set a good example? I. as one parent, am sorry I did not get to hear the program that you obviously worked very hard to present. (Z feel 1 am speaking for a large number of parents and would therefore appreciate it if you withheld my name.) Birthday Party for Lillian Richards A surprise 82nd birthday party was held Sunday, December 8. for Mrs. Lillian Richards. It was held at the AmVets hall on 52nd Street with a good at­ tendance at a potluck meal. Many friends and relatives called from 1 • 4 in the afternoon. Happy birthday, Lillian.

Debbie Eichenauer Karmen Macomber Stephanie Pennington _______ Scott Pennington The idea of insurance is to distribute risk to all those insured based on their individual risk. For several years people all over the state of Michigan have been taking responsibility for more than their share of the risk for car insurance. Reform of the culprit, Michigan’s Essential Insurance Ace (ElA) is long overdue. Senate Republicans have a plan to accomplish that reform. Under Michigan’s current law insurance rates outstate and in Detroit are tied together even though their markets are as different as night and day. The El A forces companies to vary no more than 45% across the state in the rates they offer to customers and no more than 10% for customers in Detroit and adjacent suburbs. That means insuran­ ce companies must keep their rates unrealistically higher in the outstate areas or too low in Detroit. The other alternative is simply not to do business in Detroit which gives the people of that city little choice when it comes to car insurance. The reform plan offers real fairness to everyone concerned starting with a Market Adjustment Period from December 1, 1985 to February 1, 1987. During the adjustment period insurers could bring their rates into line with the marketplace. Any changes made would be frozen for six months to limit the number of rate changes. A cap would be placed on urban rate raises of 4% plus the Detroit Consumer Price Index over a 12-month period. Af­ ter February 1, 1987, Detroit insurers would be for­ ced to cap or limit their rate increases in one of two ways: by the 4% plus CPI rule or by limiting in­ creases to no more than a specific percentage of the difference between their rates in Detroit and out­ state. And in the most important feature, gover­ nment price restrictions between territories are removed. The plan offers a benefit for everyone. Detroit car owners would have more choice and competition of insurers since companies can afford to compete in their market. Outstate drivers win because their rates will be frozen or possibly lowered during the adjustment period, and their subsidy to Detroit is reduced. Detroit insurance firms are guaranteed a more realistic rate system plus an opportunity to compete in outstate markets. And outstate insurers can set rates at real market prices for both outstate and urban customers. Insurance reform requires a lot of work to make it fair to both the consumer and the insurance com­ panies involved. With this reform package we’ve got that balance, and the Senate can move toward a truly fair plan for all of Michigan’s residents. USE THE CLASSIFIEDS!

The streets were lined up with cars p>acked with people, wanting to be reasonably comfortable, but wanting to see the parade and at­ tend the festivities. The snow flurries most of the day made us think it was time to have Santa come. Many persons braved the outdoor weather in snowsuits and warm clothing. The children were happy to get a gift from Santa and his helpers and enjoy a get together with all their friends. Son Larry’ Gehl tried to get on two lakes this week to ice fish, but it just isn't thick enough yet. He’s jumping the gun. so to speak. Guess he’s getting hungry for fresh fish, too. I know I am. All the churches around seem to be holding holiday parties, programs, etc., for their parishioners. Keeps everyone hopping. Do be careful in this slippery weather. I enjoy being inside in the evening during the snowy-cold season. All I need is a card partner and I’m contented to stay home and play cards.

STATE BANK OF CALEDONIA With the work finished of the Hastings C.K. & S. railroad depot being moved and stored for the win­ ter, the preservation committee would like county residents to join in on the project. “We had so many residents stop by at the dismantling site,’’ says Preservation Chairman Mike Hook, “that our committee would like residen­ ts to write down and send to us their recollections of the old C.K.& S. Railroad’’ So many stories and happenings were told to Hook that the idea to have residents share their memories came about. “We would like to collect all the papers and have them on display and stored in a little archive we plan on having after the depot is rebuilt,’’ says Hook. “I think a lot of people would find it interesting to read of people riding the trains or seeing them.’’ If you have some account of the C.K. & S. Railroad you would like to share and have preserved by this committee, you may send them to: The C.K. & S. Preservation Depot Committee, 912 East State, Hastings, MI 49058.

Do you find you self snarling and grumbling your greetings. Then, since you’re not alone, take a minute to take a deep breath and on the count of three — One-two - three .. SCREAM There! Don’t you feel better? Now put on a grin and remember by this time next week Christmas will be over. Monday, December 9 was Job’s Daughters regular meeting. These girls get lots of attention as there were as many adults present as there were girls. They were back this Monday evening. Decem­ ber 16, for their last meeting of the year and their Christmas party. Tuesday, December 10, was the regular meeting of Caledonia’s Eastern Star. There seem to be some good cooks who belong to this group. Every month is something different and every month is good. Friday, December 13, we were among the 40 members of the Grand A’s Club that celebrated their Christmas party at the Hoffman House. How often in a conversation do you say no. You don’t realize it until you are playing a game where you can’t say no. Lastly we exchanged “white elephant’’ gifts. Next time I’m not going to take an odd shaped package. In general everyone had fun. The State Bank of Caledonia held their Christmas party Friday at the Middle Villa Inn. They also took time to honor Mr. and Mrs. Lawrence Overholt who celebrated their 50th wedding anniversary on December 12. Eva Engle was in Dowagiac last Thursday to at­ tend the funeral of Mrs. Guy Bryan. Mrs. Bryan, who was 97, was the mother of Mrs. Frank Booth who is Eva’s sister-in-law. Eva Engle is working at Santa Claus Girls each Monday and Tuesday. If anyone has articles for them, she will be glad to deliver them for you. Debbie and Shirley Soest spent Friday night with their grandparents, Mr. and Mrs. Art Soest in Wyoming. We all went out for breakfast Saturday morning. We returned to town in time to see Santa start down Main Street, so we zig zagged through town and got to see most of the parade in front of our house. Very nice. Very nice indeed. Rich especially liked the teams of horses. Shirley liked the candy tossed her way. I’m a band person. So we were all happy. We didn’t go to where the gifts were being distributed, but as we went by to get Debby from gymnastics, there was a good sized crowd with the kids holding the bags of goodies and listening for their number to be called. Lots of cold smiling faces were seen leaving the area. Many thanks to the area merchants and volunteers who made the parade a success. Sunday, December 15, the Past Matrons and Patrons from Caledonia’s Eastern Star held their Christmas party with about 19 enjoying the delicious potluck dinner. (Looks like I’ll need a new wardrobe after Christmas.) The Caledonia United Methodist Sunday School and M.Y.F. joined forces Sunday evening and went Christmas caroling, ending up back at the church for cookies and hot chocolate. I had two girls come home still gning strong and still singing, so it must have been a success. Today, Thursday, if the weather cooperates, are the Caledonia elementary School parties. They go back to school on Friday, then are off until January 2. There was a note in Sunday’s church bulletin that I thought was worth passing on to you. So here it is. The North End Community Ministry has had over­ whelming requests for holiday assistance and ere making for some help in meeting these needs. These are some items they need: Foodstuffs, including crackers, bread, fruit, cereal, soups, vegetables and tea; Toys for persons of all ages; Gifts for adults; Socks, mitten* and underwear, Financial donations to buy meat for Christmas meals; Pies. Shall we see if we can help them out? Mr and Mrs Hugh Kegerreis called on Florence Bergy Sunday. The Peace Reformed Church carolers went out caroling Sunday and did a beautiful job. Happy 16th birthday to Bruce Swainston, whose birthday was last weekend. Reggie Raab, a student at Florida State Univer­ sity, Tallahassee, arrived Friday evening by plane to spend Christmas vacation with his parents, Mr. and Mrs. Wilbur Raab, Shelly and Sharia, and with his grandparents.

CENTRALGARAGE ART - BOB'- BILL - ROD How wrong of most of us to let ourselves get so ‘busy’ that this week we say “Cheer up. next week at this time it will be all over!” Christmas should never be “all over” — unless it’s "all over the world.” Maybe you should not even bother to read the rest of the paper • just be still for a minute and reflect on Christmas, why we celebrate it, and what it could mean to the world if the Babe of Bethlehem made an entrance into every one of our hearts in ad­ dition to his entrance into the world so many cen­ turies ago. Diane Hoskins and young Michael came home last Wednesday and he’s doing fine. Diane, however, is confined to a more horizontal position for a while. Jennifer Geukes was at M.S.U. over the week end to enter her steer in the Winners Steer Show. The Geukes family celebrated Jeff's 12th birthday on Sunday. Kay Link went to the Freeport/Middleville Exten­ sion Christmas party at the home of Joyce Buehler in Freeport. On Tuesday Kay and some friends from Alaska went out for lunch, then went back to one of their homes in Dutton to open gifts. Wendy VanRhee worked at the Caledonia Wrestling Invitational on Saturday. The Van Rhee's went to basketball games both nights and Jody played in the Jazz Band. She also was in the Christmas concert Sunday afternoon and with the jazz band when they played at the Middle Villa Inn Monday night for a Christmas party. Haven’t talked with Sharon Becker for a while, so called just to wish her a happy Christmas, whether they had news or not. Now I know that it’s been two months since I called, because Sharon told me she broke her foot on October 17 and it has been in the healing process ever since. They did have a trip to Frankenmuth this fall, but otherwise not too much gadding. She’s grateful to be able to walk free and clear for Christmas! And a Prairie welcome to Katherine Irene Wieringa, new daughter of Nick and Nancy Wieringa of Jackson Road. Katherine was bom on December 11, just a day after her daddy 's birthday. Tom, Brenda and Lindsay Bremer, Ted, Jamie, Hillary and Mallory Stone enjoyed a family Christ­ mas celebration Sunday at the home of Steve and Luann Hamilton in Caledonia. The family is looking forward to the visit of their brother, Mark DeGraves, who will arrive from Florida this week. Found out that Mary Dettmann has returned to work and Grandma Kermeen is caring for the children. The snowfalls we’ve had have kept Mike busy with his snow removal business. Isn’t it nice to know it’s good for somebody besides the sliders and the snowman-makers? Thursday afternoon callers of Ruth Klump were Mr. and Mrs. Roman Geitzen of Grand Rapids. Friday Ruth went with daughter Mabel Foote to see her granddaughter Linda Komarmy and family in Flint. Mr. and Mrs. Bob Hunt should be home from Hawaii by the time the paper is out. We assume it’s been a good trip. The Enders families were Sunday dinner guests at the Dave Enders home where they celebrated Phyllis Enders’ birthday. Fritz and Alice Steiner were Sunday dinner guests of daughter Judy Thompson and family, then all went to the band concert. Jack and Gerrie Spencer enjoyed Jack’s office Christmas party Saturday night. Barb Bender went to a ‘cookie exchange’ Friday at the home of Gail Lux. On Saturday Vonda and Diane enjoyed the shopping trip to Battle Creek mall with their youth group - and Phil took them all out to eat on Sunday. Nice! Neighbor Ria Riedstra is having her bazaar this Friday and Saturday, in case any of you need some last minute gifts. (Who, me? ...finally got cards out — now to finish shopping!) Tom and I, Fritz and Alice Steiner were among those enjoying the hospitality of the Villa family Saturday night at the annual Bradford White Christmas party. It was great. Most of our kids and families were home for a piz­ za supper Sunday night to help Tom celebrate his birthday. This Friday we will help grandson Brad Enders celebrate his 8th birthday. Happy birthday, Brad. Remember to visit the “Living Nativity” which will be in front of Dr. Shumway’s office Saturday, Sunday, Monday and Tuesday nights from 6 - 8. It is a unique experience.

THE MIDDLE MART Christmas in Colonial America Although Americans in Colonial times did not have Christmas trees or Santa as we know him today, they knew how to celebrate the season with merriment. Christmas festivities in the Colonies began a week before Christmas and lasted until Twelfth Night. Janu­ ary 5. In Virginia, a huge bon­ fire would be lit to usher in the season and candles placed in every window. Cannons would signal the start of the festivities, at which time the candles would be lit. These candles would be lit each night un­ til the new year. Throughout the season, the strains of fiddles and caroling would fill the air, as Virginians would attend balls, fox-hunts and enjoy social visits. Wreaths of sprigs, scent­ ed spices and dried flowers were popular Colonial decorations during the holidays. Mantels were adorned with pine or soft cedar branches, pine cones and bayberries. Sprigs of holly were tucked between picture frames and walls, following the English cus­ tom Pomegranates were also popular decorations. Feasting was integral to the holiday season in the Colonies The wassail bowl symbolized cheer and hos­ pitality to many early Americans, just as it had to their British forebears. Dutch settlers enjoyed doughnuts, sweet cakes, short cakes, ginger cakes, fruit pies, preserves, fried shad, roasted chicken and bowls of milk and cream during the holidays. In Virginia, roast turkey was the centerpiece of holi­ day meals, augmented with kumquats, roast beef, cran­ berry mold, spiced crab ap­ ples and glazed sweet potato slices. Greetings among the widely scattered settlers would often be accomplish- REPAIRS AUTO RADIATORS CHECK OUR PRICES FOR REPAIR or REPLACEMENT YOU'LL RNO OUR SERVICE MORE THAN COMPETITIVE!

Christmas Day was a day of worship in Colonial America. In this land of freedom of religion, wor­ ship services ranged from morning services for Pro testants to midnight mass for the Catholic settlers. Although the Puritans objected to the revelry sur­ rounding Christmas — in 1659. they enacted a law imposing a fine on anyone “found observing by abstinence from labor, feasting, or in any other way, such days as Christ­ mas day ” — the settlers in early America found much cause to celebrate, accor­ ding to the country of their origin. When the New Style Cal­ endar was adopted by England, the Colonies sub­ sequently followed suit, and took off 11 days from the year. Thus December 25 became January 6. which was celebrated as “Old Christmas” by many. The very first Christmas in America was a time of hardship, but even then the Pilgrims managed to bring joy to the occasion. Harriet Beecher Stowe described the first Christmas in the colonies in one of her stories: “The men had come back from their work on shore with branches of green pine and holly, and the women had stuck them about the ship, not without tearful thoughts of old home-places where their childhood fathers and mothers did the same. Bits and snatches of Christmas carols were floating all around the ship, like land­ birds blown far out to sea. “ Even in the midst of their difficulties, the earliest Colonists took time to celebrate Chrismas as best they could, a tradition that Americans continue to this day Westdales’ MARKETING The 24 Point Difference If you’re Thinking about Buying or Selling your home call JACK SPENCER 795-7815 or 949-9400 Westdales’ PEACE ON EARTH!

Ml / Dec. 19,1985 | Tim Sanden Trojan Wrestlers Take 2nd at CHS The young Trojan wrestling team traveled to Caledonia on Saturday for the eight-team Caledonia Invitational and came home with the 2nd place trophy. West Catholic took first place with 146 points, followed by TK with 124 and Caledonia with 123 Vi. At 119 lbs., Delwin Craven was TK’s only cham­ pion as be had a pin in the first round, then won a 14 decision over Keith tubergen of Caledonia to make it to the finals. Bill Byers of West Catholic was Delwin’s opponent, and in an outstanding effort Del scored 5 points in the last minute of the match to remain undefeated with a 12-0 record. Three TK wrestlers placed 2nd. 98 lb. Jesse Morin drew a bye, then won on a pin before his loss in the finals. At 105. Wade Poland had 2 pins to make it into the finals, but dropped a 9-7 decision to Matt Bums of Caledonia. Al Gulch, wrestling at 132 lbs., had 2 pins to get to the finals. Al had Joe Ames of Whitehall on his back several times in the finals, but came up short and had to settle for 2nd place. Mark Irwin at 112 lbs. and Bryan Cooley at 126 brought home 3rd place medals. Placing 4th were Dean Steeby 138, Don Peters 145 and Jay Porteous 167. Also scoring points that gave TK a */> point difference over Caledonia for 2nd were Bruce Sherd at 198 and Randy Allen. Hvy. Wrestlers Defeat Comstock Park, 38-32 The Trojan wrestling team took a big step for­ ward when they defeated Comstock Park, last year s OK Blue champions, by a score of 38-32. Jesse Morin got TK started by recording a pin in :35 sec. at 98 lbs. Wade Poland, wrestling at 105 ad­ ded an 8-4 decision. Markus Irwin, 112 lbs., got his man stuck to the mat in 1:54. Delwin Cravin dominated his man for an 8-2 victory. Bryan Cooley added 2 points to the team total with a 7-7 draw at 126 lbs. Al Gulch then pinned his man in 1:23 and the Trojans held a rather unexpected 26-2 lead. Comstock Park then started their comeback with a pin at 138 lbs. over Deen Steeby. but Don Peters came up with a pin of his own at 145 lbs. to put TK up 32-8. At 155 Comstock Park picked up a pin over Randy Van Wie and then in a strategy move, Coach Lehman forfeited at 167 lbs and moved Jay Por­ teous up to 185 and Bruce Sherd up to 198. The move worked as Jay lost but Bruce came up with a pin in 1:21 and a 38-26 lead. Hvy. Randy Allen lost the final match of the night, but TK had a 38-32 win to start the league season. Middleville Drops Two Dual Meets The Trojan wrestling team dropped two dual meets, losing to Hudsonville 48-28 and Lakewood 36-33, but pulled out a 48-24 win against Tri Coun­ ty. Four Trojan wrestlers won in all three dual meets. At 119 lbs., Delwin Craven had 2 pins and an 11-0 win to remain undefeated with a 7-0 record for the year. Freshman Bryan Cooley also had 3 wins at 126 lbs. Al Gulch at 138 lbs. and Jay Porteous. 167, both won matches where they were trailing badly but came back to pin their opponents in the third period. The comebacks gave them both 3 pins for the night. Winning two matches during the night were Jesse Morin at 105. Wade Poland at 112 and Bruce Sherd at 198. Winn: one match for the night were Dean Steeby at 132 d Randy Allen at Hvy.

The Caverns were named after the famous Cherokee teacher and genius who invented the cherokee alphabet and led an entire Indian nation out of illiteracy. There is no historical evidence that Sequoyah ever visited the Caverns, but that means nothing. There is no evidence that he ever climbed a California red­ wood. either, but since those mighty trees bear his name, it seems only fitting and proper that another natural wonder near his old stomping grounds should honor the local boy who made good. A couple of weeks ago my family and I toured the Caverns for the first time, and the trip was a memorable one. A small group of tourists, perhaps a dozen, had assembled out­ side the entrance when our guide, Earnest, arrived. Earnest looked to be somewhere bet­ ween forty and sixty, and he had the air of someone who knew the territory well. He said that our tour would be comfortable, since the temperature inside the Caverns was a constant sixty degrees, year in and year out. There would also be very little climbing involved, since the main level of the interior was the same elevation as the valley outside. "Watch your step, " he said, "and follow me. " Now, for folks who have good eyesight, Ear­ nest’s admonition to "watch your step" was adequate and sensible. For someone like me, however, who has poor vision, and almost no night vision, he should have suggested flares, or sealed-beam headlamps, or something. What followed was, at best, embarrassing. “Look," I told Marilyn, "stay close so that I can follow you around. It's darker than the in­ side of Methodist in here." "Shush," she said. "Your eyes will adjust." She was wrong, so after stumbling around behind the group as we traversed the narrow walkway leading to one of the large caverns, I decided upon a strategy. I would hold my youngest son’s hand, and he would keep me from cracking my head on a stalactite. I reached for the hand next to mine. “Let me hold your hand, honey, so you don’t get hurt," I said. It had seemed like a good idea, but the old gentleman standing next to me whose hand I grabbed didn't appreciate my concern. “Here, you turn me loose!" came the reply, and I did, and lurched off in the direction of my wife’s voice. "I can’t keep track of the kids and you, too," she said. "Quit dawdling behind. " I tried my best not to dawdle, which resulted in stepping on several feet and jostling a few folks in the murky darkness. When we entered "The Cherokee Cooking Room," illuminated by strategically placed electric lights, I found that my wife was several feet away, and that I’d been carrying on a lengthy conversation with a complete stranger, who said that she didn’t know if my kids had used the bathroom before they left home or not, and that she really didn’t care. Earnest explained that several artifacts had been found in the room and pointed to the walls and ceiling, blackened with smoke from ancient fires. Marilyn and the kids apeared to be enjoying the tour despite my problems. As we passed along walkways, viewing the rock formations and the reflection: in the un­ QUALITY REDUCED-FEE DENTURES 0 1 1 1 1 2 3 4 4 Professional Denture Referral Program Bv Licensed Michigan Dentists call toll-free 1-800-292-4708 a service of the Michigan Dental Association derground lake below. Earnest kept up a con­ stant patter, flicking his flashlight from one spot to another and explaining which for­ mation was petrified tree roots, which was stalactites, and which was stalagmites. His main joy, though, was to point out the several odd formations that resembled certain animals, plants, buildings, or famous people. There were lots of famous people. “Over here on your right," he would say. "you’ll see a giant turtle, and on the left, back in that hollow, you'll see the New York skyline. Down there by the water is Moses in the bullrushes, and up on the wall is baby Jesus. Over on that wall is Abraham Lincoln eating an ice cream cone. ” I tried my best to make out the figures he described, but without much uck. In one large room I did find three or four rock formations that looked like Eleanor Roosevelt, and one that resembled Jimmy Car­ ter eating a casaba melon, but when I tumed to tell the kids about them, everyone had moved on down another one of those blasted dark passageways. I followed in hot pursuit. "Are you up there, Marilyn?” "We’re up here. Come on." Earnest led us into another large room, and pointed to the name, “Sam Houston" carved into a stone, and the date "1830.” I’m not sure jut why Sam Houston would have crawled way back into that pitch dark cavern, carrying a torch, just to carve his name on that stone, but Earnest said it was authentic, and that was good enough for me. As we neared the end of our tour. Earnest led us up a very narrow rock stairway, with walls close on either side. Since I already had several abrasions, I followed close on my wife’s heels, determined to emerge into the daylight without broken bones. Halfway up the stair­ way I lost my balance, and reached to grab what appeared to be a rather imposing rock formation on my left. Unfortunately what I got hold of was much too soft to be a rock, and it had a voice. “AAGH!” it said, and I found that what had seconds before looked like a rock was the blouse of an elderly matron with a heavy han­ dbag. I’m not sure, but when she hit me with the bag, I could have sworn there was a brick in it. "I’m sorry, ma’am," I said. "I thought.... "I never! If I had wanted to get mugged, I would've stayed in New Jersey!’’ I had not meant to grab her there, or anywhere else, for that matter, but there was no time to explain. As we left the Caverns, I noticed that she and several others whose feet I had stepped on, or whqse hands I had grab­ bed, eyed me with suspicion. Earnest seemed relieved to see me go, and even Marilyn and the kids kept their distance from me as we walked to the car. Maybe, one day, when there is no one else around, I can sneak back into the Caverns and explore on my own. I think I would enjoy that. You can’t do much serious exploring with a bunch of folks hanging around. Most of them are just too tempermentai.

MakMa, Ml I Dec 19,1985 Christmas’ favorite author Of all authors, perhaps no ocher is as closely associated with Christmas as Charles Dickens His classic “A Christmas Carol” has been read and reread, and translated into stage, motion picture and television productions. But. not many are aware that Dickens wrote other Christmas tales. They were fairy tales with a moral, published during the Christmas season in the 1840s. According to resear­ chers, Christmas was very special to Dickens He saw it as a time when people were more giving and more open to change. This kind of change was classically described in “A Christmas Carol’' when the miserly Ebenezer Scrooge learns to celebrate LOCAL CHURCH DIRECTORY Christmas with warmth and generosity. One of the other Christmas books. “The Haunted Man ” is written in the same vein. It tells of a chemist who had endured much suffering and betray­ al in his youth. As he sits gazing into the fireplace on Christmas Eve, a spirit grants the unhappy man forgetfulness from the sad past But. the chemist discovers that his happy memories are wiped out with the unhappy memo­ ries. as well. He realizes that he does not want to forget his past, after all. Dickens was editor of a magazine for 17 years. Each year, he would pre­ pare a Christmas issue, fill­ ed with songs and stones of the season In addition to the five Christmas books he wrote. Dickens also pub­ lished two volumes of Christmas stones. Certainly it would appear that Dickens, like the re­ formed Scrooge, ‘knew how to keep Christmas well, if any man alive possessed that know ledge.'' ST.

In hopes that St Nicholas soon would be there. The children were nestled all snug in their beds While visions of sugarplums danced in their heads; And Momma in her kerchief, and I in my cap, Had just settled our brains for a long winter s nap When out on the lawn there arose such a clatter, I sprang from my bed to see what was the matter. Away to the window I flew like a flash. Tbre open the shutters and threw up the sash. The moon on the breast of the new fallen snow Gave a lustre of mid-day to objects below. When, what to my wondering eyes did appear. But a miniature sleigh, and eight tiny reindeer. With a little old driver, so lively and quick. I knew in a moment it must be St Nick.

I heard on the roof The prancing and pawing of each little hoof. As I drew in my head, and was turning around. Down the chimney St. Nicholas came with a bound. He was dressed all in fur, from his head to his foot. And his clothes were all tarnished with ashes and soot; A bundle of toys he had flung on his back. And he looked like a peddler just opening his pack. His eyes, how they twinkled! his dimples, how merry! His cheeks were like roses, his nose like a cherry! His droll little mouth was drawn up like a bow, And the beard on his chin was as white as the snow. The stub of a pipe he held tight to his teeth, And the smoke it encircled his head like a wreath; He had a broad face and little round belly, That shook when he laughed, like a bowl full of jelly. Rev. Donald Heydens Saturday Evening Mass Sunday Mass First Friday Mass As dry leaves that before the wild hurricane fly. When they meet with an obstacle, mount to the sky. So up to the house-top the coursers they flew. With the sleigh full of toys, and St. Nicholas, too. 795-9726 Wesley Smith, Pastor Church office 891-8669 “Now, Dasher, now. Dancer! now, Prancer and Vixen! On, Comet! on, Cupid! on Donder and Blitxen! lb the top of the porch! to the top of the wall! Now dash away! dash away! dash away all!" 8 30 a m 945 a m 1100 a m Phone 891-8688 He was chubby and plump a right jolly old elf, And I laughed when I saw him, in spite of myself; A wink of his eye and a twist of his head Soon gave me to know I had nothing to dread. He spoke not a word, but went straight to his work, And filled all the stockings; then turned with a jerk. And laying his finger aside of his nose, And giving a nod, up the chimney he rose. He sprang to his sleigh, to his team gave a whistle, And away they all flew like the down of a thistle But I heard him exclaim ere he drove out of sight, “Happy Christmas to all...and to all a goodnight!" �The Sun and News, Middleville, Ml I Dec. 19, 1985 I Page 15 CLASSIFIED ADS BOWLING SCORES PLACE YOUR ADVERTISING MESSAGE HERE — 795-3345 RATES: IOC Per Word, Per Insertion.
