Box A, Nashville, Michigan Phone 945-9554 (Hastings) Vol. 105, No. 34, Wednesday, January 3, 1979 Nashville and Vermontville citizens hope new year will bring growth to their communities Hand-in-hand with the start of a new year are the hopes for new beginnings,, positive changes and improvements. On a local level, citizens from Vermontville and Nashville who were interviewed last week are hoping that~1979 wiU bring a year of growth to their respective communities. Pat O’Dell, new Vermontville Chamber of Commerce president and owner of the Sugar Hut Cafe, is hoping that the new year will bring “more business” into the community and that there will be increased “participation in our hometown rather than out-of-town.” With the dawning of a new year, she hopes that “businesses will join together and be closer connected than they have been.” She sees the growth of businesses as a main priority, adding that she would like to see a drug store opened in the village. “I’d also like to see more activities for the young people...teens as well as young adults.” “What we really need is a doctor. I don’t know how to go about finding one, but now that I’m president of the chamber I want to check into it. I can’t see why there isn’t a doctor Pat O'Dell Vernon Throwbridge here. Dr. Myers in Nashville doesn’t have any openings so we’re pushed to go to Charlotte or Hastings when we need a doctor,” Mrs. O’Dell said. Isla Harris of Vermontville commented that “I would like to see the community built up and have more stores so we don’t have to run to Hastings and Charlotte so much. With working I find it difficult to get out.” Vermontville village president Vernon Trowbridge said that although no major projects are planned in ’79 he is hopeful that improvements can be made in such areas as “more sidewalks, expanding or improving upon our athletic programs like our ballfields and parks, and perhaps to improve our police protection through the new upcoming contract with the Sheriff’s Department.” At present, he explained, “we’re riding with the times, waiting to see what happens in terms of possible grants and CETA help. But I want to wish everyone a healthy, happy, and prosperous 1979.” In Nashville, Ray Hinckley who serves on the Riverside Development Corporation would like to see the organization’s goals fulfilled. He said “I hope the RRDC will Dick Kohfeldt receive its grant and be able to start developing recreational facilities because it would be a great benefit to the Com­ munity.” Dick Kohfeldt of Nashville, a social worker for the Calhoun Intermediate School District, would “like to see the business community grow,” He also hopes that “more downtown buildings are used as businesses as opposed to apartments and residences. Also in the new year, he feels that job descriptions should be written for village em­ ployees. “I Wish the Business Owners Association luck in getting a building onto their vacant lot.” he concluded. At the village hall; treasurer Lois Elliston said “I would like to see the village grow and prosper in terms of new businesses and the beginning of development of the park behind the stores.” She is also hoping that additional grant money for projects will find its way into Nashville’s coffer. One of the best accomplishments toward future progress, she feels, is to have “unity within the village...harmony among the people.” R°y Hinckley �Th* Maple Valley New*. Nashville. Wednesday.

Sts^Z ts tsZ i*«SS5: New Year’s Eve was celebrated last Sunday in a variety of ways by Nashville residents. Watch services, large parties, and smaller informal gatherings ob­ served the passing of 1978 into 1979. Traditionally, the event has drawn people together to mark the mid­ night hour. And 64 years ago, a group of young adults enjoyed a roller skating party at the old Opera House in Nashville as they watched 1914 pass into 1915. Captured for posterity by a local photographer, roller skates are clearly visible in the foreground as the celebrants paused to have their picture snapped. They skated on a hard­ wood floor which also served occasionally as a dance floor and regularly as a basketball court. Located on Washington Street, directly behind the present-day laundromat, Nashville’s Opera House was the center of community activities from the time it was constructed in the early 1880’s until its’ demise in the mid-1930’s. Owned by John Furniss/the building hosted numerous formal dinners, receptions, school plays, and commencement exercises. Performances staged at the Opera House by traveling Thespians, as well as productions by amateur civic groups, entertained area residents for many years. Nashville’s earliest motion pictures were also shown in the Opera House, providing a lasting memory for many present-day senior citizens. Facilities at the Opera House included a platform stage, dressing rooms, bleacher seating for some of the audience and, of course, a piano. Chairs which furnished additional floor seating were quickly stowed away to free the area for dances or skating parties. Eary basketball players recall dodging two wood burning stoves used to heat the structure. Fifty years of recreational service to the community ended when the building was torn down in the 1930’s but many happy memories of the old Opera House live on. The 1915 skaters have been identified with the assistance of several local senior citizens. Only three in the photo remain unidentified.

PEOPLE OF NASHVILLE COME TO THIS MEETING AND LET YOUR VOICES BE HEARD AT THE: CASTLETON TOWNSHIP HALL THURSDAY, JANUARY 4,1979 • 7:00 P.M. — CONCERNED CITIZENS OF NASHVILLE — �The Maple Valley News, Nashville, Wednesday, January 3,1979 - Page 6 Chit-Chatters become T.V celebrities . By Susan Hinckley Dick Evans, popular roving reporter for Channel 8-TV in Grand Rapids, made an important stop in Nash­ ville Friday before Christ­ mas and (topped in unex­ pectedly on a local men’s group known as the Chit Chat Club. Several Nashville menfolks became TV stars last Wednesday when Evan’s filmed visit to the club was aired as an “On the Road” feature during the station’s noon and evening newscasts. The Chit-Chatters, who meet in the rear of a Main Street building now occupied by Gordon Specialtys, were playing euchre and pool when Evans was ushered through their “Private Members Only” door by store owner, Joe Gorodenski. Exploring the background of the organization, which requires only that members be “old and male”, Evans interviewed Jim Conners, Art Bateman, Otto Dahm, and Will Suntken. Several shots of the euchre players were shown, while Art Bateman and George Vogt tried in vain to sink a few pool balls for the cameraman. Evans joshed the men about the pinups and magazines in their meeting quarters. Among others present for the filming were Hollis McIntyre, Bill Face, Vern Staup, Ron Kenyon, Dewey Dull, Bill Helsel, Hubert Lathrop, Bill Dean, Floyd White, and Merle Burd. The fellows meet nearly every day except Sunday allow no drinking, they told Evans. Organized eight years ago, the group first met in the rear of the former Leon Ackett Store (originally Diamante’s). Douglas Ayles is owner of the Chit-Chatters present quarters. Jim Conners stands by the entrance to the Chit Chat Club located in the rear portion of Gordon Specialtys. Hubert Lathrop tries his luck at sinking a few balls while Bill Face awaits his turn. Whether chit chatting, playing pool or cards, or just plain relaxing like (from left) Ron Kenyon, Vern Staup, and Clyde Benton, members find their private club a great place to go. Vern Staup (on left), Bill Face, Clyde Benton, and Ron Kenyon enjoy a euchre match during a gathering of the Chit Chat Club. New state law prohibits high piling of snow in private driveways— A new state law designed to eliminate piled snow as a traffic hazard is in effect this winter, the Michigan Department . of Transportation reports. Basically, it prohibits businesses and citizens from dumping snow on roadways and shoulders or piling it so high at driveway entrances that it obstructs the vision of motorists. Under the law, enacted last spring, snow, ice or slush may not be removed from a driveway or other property and placed across a roadway or its shoulders. Snow piled near a driveway entrance must not obstruct the view of a motorist en­ tering the roadway. Pushing snow from a driveway to the opposite side ofthe road also is prohibited. “Citizens or or hired snowplowing services usually clear driveways after the highway crews have cleared the roadway and shoulders,’’ said John P. Woodford, department director. “The snowplowing vehicle moving back and forth across the roadway from the driveway in itself is unsafe, but the snow that this ac­ tivity leaves on the payment is spread down the roadway and makes a slippery spot that is hazardous and could be the cause of an accident.’’ Violation of the new law is a misdemeanor. Both property owners and persons hired to remove snow are responsible for any illegal snow-removal activities. In addition, any accidents caused by illegal snow removal will leave violators open to lawsuits for public liablility and property damage. Both the Transportation Department and Michigan State Police encourage property owners to make special plans for snow removal from their property. They recommend that snow be pushed away' from the roadway and to the sides of the driveway for its full length. Large businesses may find it necessary to truck snow from their parking lots. For a charge to be filed, a police officer must witness the violation, or a citizen may file a complaint. “Careless dumping or plowing of snow into the roadway can present a serious traffic hazard,” said Col. Gerald L. Hough, state police director. “This new law should help control dangerous snow-removal practices.” sMe Wheat plantings rebound 30% Last year, Michigan growers were only able to plant 470,000 acres of winter wheat, the lowest acreage on record. But this year growers are rebounding from the short year with 80,000 acres planted this fall. This is a 70 percent increase over last year but is 8 per­ cent shy of the area planted in the fall of 1976. Cooperative fall weather provided ample opportunity for growers to complete their fall planting. Unless growers experience damaging factors; such as, extreme weather conditions or disease, Michigan can expect to harvest around 29,300,000 bushels of wheat next summer, a 63 percent jump from the 1978 crop. Planted rye acreage also increased this fall. The first estimate of area planted to rye is 135,000, up 4 percent from last year and 17 percent from 1976. At the National level, 51,472,000 acres of winter sheat were planted this fall, up 8 percent from last year. Production is expected to jump 15 percent to 1.44 billion bushels. Rye acreage climbed to 3,077,000 acres, a 3 percent increase. The first spring production forecast will be released on May 10.

Main Nashville Across from the Post Office ‘ �The Maple Valley News, Nashville, Wednesday, January 3,1979 • Page 7 Baby Kathryn has thirteen grandparents to spoil her- Leon Frith to head Nashville DPW Leon Frith was promoted to head Nashville’s Department of Public Works at last Thursday’s meeting of the Nashville Village -Council. In October, Frith had been named head of the village Streets and Parks Department. His new post will allow him complete supervisoin of both the Sewer and Water Depart­ ments as well, and enable the council to hire a sewer and water operator-trainee to work under Frith. “The treatment plant cannot be separate,” Councilman Ted Spoelstra said in support of the move to promote Frith. Spoelstra said the plant was in a very deteriorated condition due to the one man being left to run it on his own, without supervision. Frith’s promotion did not provide immediate monetary compensation but the council expects that to be forthcoming. Unable to reach agreement on a satisfactory wage to offer the new trainee to be hired, the council called a special workshop meeting Wednesday evening, OOCOCO&OCOOCCO CA | NEW HOURS] 8 Effective January § 8 1, 1978, Nashville Q S Village Hall wiill be 8 thru 8 open Monday Mond thru QQ x Friday 9 to 5, 5 and || closed on Saturday, b 8 8 BY ORDER OF b * 8 NASHVILLE VILLAGE b Y to fat iuii.wjjj8 B oooo COUNCILc ^88r oQeocecosccc^ ■■toixsit Miai taia'isacc- laijeiwi IWS.TClir rantesti!

It is expected that minimum and maximum pay rates will be set at the 7 p.m. public meeting at Nash­ ville Village Hall. Three separate but similar motions, two offered by Council George Frith and another by Councilman John Mason, to authorize Leon Frith to select a trainee candidate could not muster enough support for approval. Frith, whojvas present at the meeting, said he felt the council should make the decision on whom to hire for the position. In other business, Bruce Cooper, representing Williams and Works Engineering Firm' of Grand Rapids, told the council that a Farmer Home Ad­ ministration loan and or grant application for Nash­ ville’s proposed new $3,396,105. is ready to be submitted this week. Cooper offered comparative figures for council consideration, showing the cost difference between doing the total project and the granteligible portions only. “We’re working with very general, very approximate genera,veryapproxmate figures now,” said Cooper. New sewer sewer customers New comingg on to the line would pay approximately $1,200., Cooper Cooper estimated. However, saamount could be af­ fected by such variables as interest rates when bids on the projectt are let and how the council decides to balance hook-up fees and monthly operation and maintenance charges. Monthly charges, Cooper estimated, might be in­ creased $6 per month, if the entire project is done, or $5. per month, if only granteligible portions are done. He stressed these were only approximate figures and said the council must decide on the approach of financing the village’s share vf the sewer project. Anticipated federal and state grants are expected to cover 80 percent of the granteligible costs. In a tie vote broken by President Harold Christiansen, the council rejected a motion to restrict the sewer project to granteligible portions of the village only. “Right now we should be looking to the future,” Christiansen told the council. Interviewed following the meeting, Christiansen cited the advantages for growth and development potential of the village if the entire project is done, he said Nashville had already lost proposed commercial ventures due to lack of adequate sewer service.

T The newest research at the forest focuses on the application of plantation forestry to the energy problem. Sites have been prepared and 30 tree species will be planted in 1979. The trees will be evaluated for maximum fiber production. Potential uses to be in­ vestigated include raw materials for chemical feed stocks, supplements to ruminant animal feeds and fuels for electric generating plants. The Kellogg Forest has always been popular with the general public. More than 45,000 people visit the station each year. “From the very beginning people have used the forest for recreation,” says Lemmien. “Our early records show quite a few fishermen and hunters. We still some hunting and fishingetbut the use atterns fishing, but the use patterns have changed.

Lester V. Manderscheid, Michigan State University agricultural economist, expects that the U.S. economy will have a growth rate on the order of 2.5 percent in real value of %$s > <$ goods and services produced for the year. There was a 3.8 percent increase in the quantity of goods and ser­ vices produced during 1978 compared to 1977. Manderscheid says that he expects a slow growth rate during the first half of the year: “It will be on the order of 1 percent. The third quarter should show some pickup to a growth rate on the order of 2 percent with a 3 percent annual growth rate in the fourth quarter.” These growth rates are in the actual quantity of goods and services will increase more rapidly because price increases in 1979 will be on the order of 6 to 7 percent, Manderscheid predicts. This forecast implies in­ creased unemployment compensation benefits in 1979. If the Carter ad­ ministration’s intention of reducing the federal deficit to $30 billion or less during 1979 materializes - even in the face of unemployment compensation benefits -­ some federal government services may be cut. “State and local govern­ ment spending will increase, but at a slower rate than revenues, resulting in a surplus.

Candidates file for Nashville Village council seats— Five candidates, all Republicans, met the December 19 deadline to file nominating petitions seeking four trustee seats which will open onthe Nashville Village Council in the Spring. The only contest in the primary election, February 19, will be between George T. Frith and Sandra Kohfeldt, who both filed for the single 1-year term available. The three other candidates each filed for 2-year terms. Since there are three can­ didates filed for three posts, there will be no contest facing Sharon A. Green, Helen N. Curtis, or Forrest C. Babcock, with the ex­ ception of possible write-ins. Frith, of 303 Center Court, and Green, of 202 Cleveland Street, are present trustees recently appointed to their posts by Village President Harold Christiansen. The seats they hold were vacated by resignation in October. Babcock, of 129 S. Main Street, is currently serving a term to which he was elected in 1977. Kohfeldt, of 211 N. State Street, and Curtis, of 311 N. Main Street, are seeking election to the council for the first time. The primary contest will be followed by the general election, March 12.

If the forms are filled our correctly, Nash said, eligible persons could receive a substantial refund from the state. “Persons wishing assistance in their property tax rebate form should bring a statement of their 1978 income and a copy of their property taxds,” Nash said. the government sector on the economy will be well below the expected $30 billion federal deficit. Perhaps that net deficit will be half that amount,” Manderscheid says. the Federal Reserve System’s efforts to affect the quantity of money available to the economy could have a major impact on the in­ flation rate. “Should the Federal Reserve Board pursue a very tight money policy with associated high interest rates through much of the year, we can assume the economy’s growth rate will be somewhat lower than the expected 2.5 percent,” Manderscheid says. • Effect in Michigan The Michigan economy shows wider swings in economic activity than does the national economy - a slowdown on the national level will be magnified in the state. Unemployment will likely increase more rapidly in Michigan than in the United States as a whole, causing increases in unemployment compensation as well as welfare expenditures. Manderscheid also expects car sales to decline for the 1979 calendar year, as well as for the 1979 model year. “A decline of 5 percent in 1979 model auto sales is not an unreasonable ex­ pectation,” he comments. Farm Effect A national slowdown should not significantly affect demand for farm products, and reduced in­ flation may cut the rate of increase in costs to farmers. But, Manderscheid says, an inflation slowdown will raise questions about the amount of increase in land values that can be sustained. Many farmers count on increased product prices to pay off loans with deflated dollars. “Thus, a major concern of Michigan fa mers with respect to he future may very well be >he *ate of inflation to be expected over the next 5 to 10 years, and therefore, the rate of in­ crease in land values that can be sustained by in­ flationary expectation,” Manderscheid says. His forecast for 1979 is in large part based on measures initiated by the Carter administration in November to curb inflation and the associated decline in the value of the dollar. These include: reduction of the federal deficit; wage and price guidelines; the tax credit program for workers whose salary or wage in­ crease fell below the in­ flation rate; and tightening of the monetary markets. “These measures had a significant impact on the value of the dollar during November. The reaction of many economic forecasters has been that these measures preclude a recession, or at least a very significant slowdown in economic activity the first half or three-quarters of 1979,” ManderscheidXsays. �The Maple Valley News, Nashville, Wednesday, January 3, 1979 - Page 10 Nashville News continued— might be released.

Box A, Nashville, Michigan Phone 945-9554 (Hastings) Vol. 105, No. 35, Wednesday, January 10, 1979 Concerned citizens discuss proposed sewer by Susan,Hinckley A meeting that almost didn’t happen turned out to be a lively exchange of ideas between a dozen concerned citizens and four Nashville council members. The subject was Nashville’s proposed new $3,396,105. sewer project. The meeting at Castleton Township Hall was held last Thursday evening despite the fact Village President Harold Christiansen had decided to cancel it shortly after it was scheduled at the last regular meeting of the council. Unaware that Christiansen had made that decision, Lonny Kienutske, heading a group called “Concerned Citizens’’, placed a large ad in last week’s issue of the Maple Valley News asking public attendance at the meeting. Most village council members were also unaware that the scheduled meeting had been called off and, upon learning of the situation last Tuesday, offered to meet with the citizens. John Mason, president pro-tem, volunteered to preside in the absence of Christiansen. Three other council members, Ted Spoelstra, Sharon Green, and George Frith, also at­ tended the meeting. Absent were Purchis and Babcock. The session was conducted in an informal manner and a generally congenial at­ mosphere prevailed. Mason told the audience that Christiansen had reportedly cancelled the scheduled meeting because of an extra-heavy workload on council members last week. He said the council plans to go to Grand Rapids January 9th td meet with Williams and Works, engineers for the sewer project. Mason said he would learn what he could and bring it back to the people. Prior to the cancellation of the meeting by Christiansen, a William and Works representative was scheduled to be present at Thursday’s meeting. “I personally feel Nash­ ville needs a new sewer system but the village does not need the ineligible sections dohe,” said Kienutske. He pointed out the only 13 additional homes would be served by the ineligible extension but the added cost to the village would average $11,000 per home. Christiansen had stated earlier that he felt the entire project should be done to enhance the growth and Sarah Hughes is Barry County’s first baby of the year — Ruth Hughes cradles her new daughter Sarah Beth who is shown peeking out of one eye to find out what all the fuss is about. Sarah's arrival into the world on Wednesday, January 3 created much ado at Pennock Hospital in Hastings because she was the first baby of the"new year. Sarah, daughter of Ruth and John Hughes of 417 Middle Street in Nashville, weighed in at seven pounds and four ounces and measured 20 inches. John teaches history and government at Maple Valley High School and Ruth owns and operates a bookshop in Hastings called "Books, Etc. Etc."

Local voters rejected a similar sewer project jn .a 1977 referendum but the village attorney at that time advised village officials it was only an advisory vote and not binding on the council. At the conclusion of the meeting, Mason, Spoelstra, and Green all personally thanked the audience for attending and asked them not to wait until there was a problem to attend future meetings. They said public input would be a great asset to them in reaching decisions on various issues that come before the council. Maple Valley ‘Drift Skippers’ plan safari in January— The Maple Valley Drift Skippers Snowmobile Club is making plans for a safari in January. Details of the event appear in the column written by Dora J. Nisse. The Drift Skippers meet the first Monday of every month at 7:30 p.m. in their clubhouse in Vermontville. Everyone is invited to attend and pay this year’s dues, according to an officer of the club. At the club’s last meeting, members discussed the village of Vermontville’s Snowmobile Ordinance. The ordinance provides for snowmobiles to be operated on certain designated streets in the Village. They are East First Street, West First, Spring, E)m, Maple, Seminary, Anderson High­ way, and the alleys adjacent to the business district. All snowmobiles must be driven on the extreme right hand of the street or road. Parking for snowmobiles has been allowed in the areas adjacent to the Hardware and to the west of the village fire barn. The ordinance states that snowmobiles must come to a full stop until traffic has cleared when crossing North, South, East or West Main Streets. They may then continue on the extreme shoulder of the street. A 15 mph speed limit has been set for snowmobiles and drivers must obey all traffic signs. Snowmobiles are not allowed to be driven on blacktop streets except where designated. The ordinance stipulates that “the easiest access route from the snowmobilers residence must be taken to the designated routes shown on the map of the Village, not traversing private property.” According to a provision in the Michigan Snowmobile Law Act, which is in­ corporated into the village ordinance, “no snowmobile shall run from within 100 feet of a dwelling at a speed greater than the minimum required to maintain for­ ward movement of the machine and only on designated streets. All Michigan State Laws shall be enforced with regard to snowmobiling, the ordinance states. Snowmobilers 16 years of age and under, must have passed a certification class and carry the certification certificate on their person. Any snowmobiler 16 years of age and under who is operating a machine after hours of the village curfew must be accompanied by an adult or the owner of the machine. • The Drift Skippers en­ courage new members to join their club and also remind those who are not club members that they are not allowed to use the club’s trails unless accompanied by a member.

Some homes in rural areas surrounding the village were without power throughout the chilly night. New Year’s Eve celebrants found driving especially hazardous. Locally, the Nashville DPW crew worked overtime during the night to keep our village roadways safe and passable. Utility lines and trees sagged under heavy coats of ice. Numberous large limbs were reported down throughout the village, some tem­ porarily hampering traffic. The DPW crew continued to work through New Year’s Day to clear limbs, ice, and snow from Nashville’s streets. Mrs. Edna Gibbons of Nashville enjoyed spending the Christmas holidays with family members in Marshall and Battle Creek. Christmas Day she was the guest of her granddaughter and family, Pat and Jerry Merritt and children of Marshall.

The December 31st issue of the newspaper carried an article, written by News staff writer Alex Ben Block, which reported Kienutske’s purchase of Elvis memorablia at a recent Presley Collectors Convention on the Michigan State Fairgrounds. According to The Detroit News, Lonny paid $300 for a pack of Elvis bubble gum cards that “cost no more than $2 new in 1956.” After bargaining with the same “nostalgia” merchant for an RCA Presley Christinas album from the late 50’s, Lonny finally succeeded in striking a deal at $225. for the record. Kienutske and his wife, Sue, became Elvis collectors because “they grew up with Elvis and loved him,” they told the News reporter, and they believe the Elvis memorablia is a “good investment” that will increase in value over the years. Mr. and Mrs. Harry Beard of Nashville enjoyed a holiday dinner the day before Christmas at the home of their daughter, Betty and Earl Hooghouse and family of Charlotte. Also present for the family gathering were Mr. and Mrs. Phillip Beard and sons of Battle Creek; Mr. and Mrs. Larry Rollins and children; Harry Rollins and friend, Sandy Reid; and Mr. and Mrs. James Jarman and children, all of Nashville.

JOHN MASON Chairman of D.P.W. carry-in dinner on Nov. 21st was attended by 49 members and guests, and young Nyle Wells of Vermontville en­ tertained us with his Magic Act, which was ably presented. Guests were Ester Appelman, a former group member, and Mrs. Omer Dan and mother, Bea Code of Thornapple Lake. Our Christmas Party and December Birthday Party, honoring five of our group, was held simultaneously at the noon hour, Dec. 21st with 50 in attendance. The Hall looked beautiful with red and green streamers, Bells and ornaments suspended from the ceiling. The dining tables were adorned with Christmad centerpieces and the piano top with tapers. Our thanks to Roy Boise, Glen Roush, and Harry Beard for decorating so beautifully. Beards loaned their tree to the group again and Arke Stambaugh, Elsie Ramsey and Feme Green trimmed it, rrftking it the focal point of the decorations. The Site caterers sent a beautiful birthday cake with the names of all the birthday honorees inscribed on the icing. Before the social hour Santa Claus (Fred Ackett) arrived and distributed candy and exchanged gifts to everyone. Then the group enjoyed singing many Christmas songs with Feme Green at the piano. Feme also presented a monologue, entitled “Grandma’s reminiscing Treasures; about a card, a doll, a ring and a brooch, keepsakes of childhood and youthful days, which pointed out the differences of folkways of 50 or 60 years ago as compared todays’ customs. Our only group project in Nancy's is pleased to announce that JODI SPICER is returning to work and accepting appoint­ ments on Wednesdays and Saturdays starting Jan. 17th. Nancy’s Beauty Shop 157 S. Main, Vermontville - Phone 726-0330 Dec. was the Bake Sale we sponsored. That day the weather was terrible. A big snow storm. We had a large supply to sell and by midafternoon most of the edibles were sold. Food remaining was auctioned to our own group, and we were pleased with the profit considering the size of our Site Group. We appreciate the monthly Blood Pressure Clinics for our benefit. Our sincere thanks to Helen Furlong and Helen Seller for braving the cold temperature of Jan. 2nd to provide the readings for 26 people. Birthdays in January to be observed are those of Deidra Sprinkle, Bertha Becker, Caroline Jones, Austin Schantz and Thelma Stewart. Daily attendance has decreased slightly during the cold snap and resulting bad driving conditions. A few people have missed coming because of illness. We all keep in touch daily with our designated “Telephone Buddy”, so if some one needs assistance their need will be met. Under the able instruction of Viola Avery, the Arts and Craft Classes, although only recently begun in Nashville, have produced many ingenious articles-both beautiful and useful, and nearly all fashioned from cartons, yarn and cloth scraps that most people throw away! The group is establishing a weekly “Recreation Day” starting on Friday Jan. 5th, which will last from 9 a.m. until around 11 a.m. Anyone in the community may come in and play the game of their choice. We have Chinese checkers, Cribbage, Triominoes, regular checkers, chess and decks of cards for various card games from which to choose. You may even bring light refreshrefresh­ ments with you if you wish. This lodes like a good op­ portunity for any who might be a little lonely to come and find companionship and perhaps, make some new friends. At a recent Site meeting, the group decided that it would be interesting to keep a Scrap Book of our ac­ tivities to enjoy in future years. Edna Gibbons was appointed to this duty, has spent much time already, and is doing a super job on the record, including pic­ tures and stories. All members are reminded that our next Site Meeting will be on Jan. 9th. at 11 a.m. and your are suppose to be there! Every members participation is important in a group such as we are lucky enough to have. The Nashville Site wishes to extend to the Hastings and Woodland Sites a sincere Hope that they will have a happy and productive year throughout 1979. •” ★ z Fee Area Churches (Volleyball) Womens League (Volleyball) Mens League (Volleyball) Boys Intramural Girls Intramural Square Dancing Leader Dav Clergy Murphy Phenix Ruohonen Jones Buds Duds Mon/Tue Kellogg Kellogg Wed.

Nashville, Wednesday, January 10, 1979 — Page 6 Memories of the past . . by Susan Hinckley In its’ heyday the Wolcott House on Nashville’s South Main Street lodged many weary travelers, furnishing well-kept rooms and homecooked meals at reasonable rates. Located on the present-day site of the former Total Service Station, the hotel was conveniently situated midway between Michigan Central’s railroad depot and the village’s downtown business district. Built by James McGraw before the turn of the cen­ tury, the hotel was in the possession of J.B. Mix sometime prior to 1910, about the time this photo was Jaken. Late owners of the Wolcott House included William Dean of Vermontville, who owned a livery stable on Nashville’ Main Street, and George McGuaig, a local saloon keeper. A second story balcony graced the front of the hotel, topping a front porch which ran the full length of the building. Outdoor illumination during night hours was provided by a kerosine-operated street light (upper left in photo), which was filled by lowering the fixture on a pulley. Inside the hotel, an open stairway led from the foyer to the second story. The main floor housed a large office, kitchen, and spacious dining room. Such tasty meals were served at the Wolcott House that during special events, as Nash­ ville’s annual Harvest ‘Service You Can Count On’ COMMERCIAL — RESIDENTIAL 329 W. Mill Street — Hastings, Michigan 49058 Telephone: (616)945-4493 Festival, additional help was hired to handle the extra patrons. Charles Scheldt, a son-in­ law of James McGraw, operated a livery stable in connection with the Wolcott House, advertising that “commercial men are in­ vited to call.” Scheldt’s enterprise was located in a structure at the rear of the hotel. Salesmen, traveling troupes of actors, and other passers-through found a welcome at the hotel. In later years the Wolcott House ceased the house guests and gradually fell in progressive stages of disrepair. The second floor balcony and front porch below were removed. Some main floor windows were replaced with double­ wide storefront glass. The classic bracketed cornice, which crowned the edifice, was coated with dark paint. s Various business ventures filled the now-defunct hotel. For a time, a tire store oc­ cupied the south portion of the building. John Wheeler became the last , reported owner of the structure befofe it was razed in the late 1930’s, marking the end of an era for a graceful and prominent Nashville landmark.

Councilman John Mason advocated using the term “job title” rather than “job description’* or “classification.” Mason stressed the need for flexibility between the various functions of the DPW. He then suggested titles of “Supervisor of Public Works” for the head of the department, and “Public Works employees” for the two present members of the crew. The council generally agreed on tenative titles of “Chief’, “Sergeant”, and “Patrolman”, for the village’s 3-man police force.

Winning the title of 1979 Barry County New Year’s Baby was Sarah Beth Hughes, born January 3rd to Ruth and John Hughes of Middle Street. Last year, Amanda Jean Bryans, who also arrived on January 3rd, won the 1978 contest. In addition to their hometown, their January 3rd birthday, and the New Year’s Baby titles, the girls have in common, both were born at Pennock Hospital. Sarah Beth, the 1979 winner, will be showered with a bundle of gifts from Hastings merchants, as was Amanda Jean last year. Recent visitors at the home of Mr. and Mrs. M. Dewey Castelein, Jr. ofNashville were her son and family, Richard and Joan McCollum and boys. The McCollums came to Michigan enrout home from a Florida vacation. While there they called on grandfather, Melvin D. Castelein, Sr., a former Nashville resident wintering in Florida, and report they found him enjoying good health.

A large 3-stall garage located just west of M-66 on East Dowling Road was totally destroyed in an early morning fife last Thursday. Also lost were contents of the structure, including a 4-wheel drive vehicle, an older Chevrolet auto, a rota-tiller, a small tractor, and numerous tools. The building belonged to Terry Burgess and was located behind a mobile home occupied by him. The Nashville Fire Department was summoned at 2:25 a.m. but the structure was totatally in­ volved in flames by the time they were called and it was apparent, upon their arrival, that nothing could be salvaged.

Mrs. Larry (June) Decker of Nashville was suddenly taken ill last Wednesday norning while at her husband’s Fargo Station on Main Street. He summoned the Nashville ambulance and June was transported to Pennock Hospital. At this writing, she is still confined and undergoing a series of tests to determine the cause of her illness. The new year brought a new assignment to Pat Lingholm ofNashville and a “first” for the Nashville Fire Department ambulance. A 1970 graduate of MVHS and 12-year resident of Nashville, Pat is the first woman to ever serve in the department She is a certified Emergency Medical Technician, having received her training in 1977 at Kellogg Community College. Pat has been a member of the Bedford Rescue Squad for four years and still serves on active duty there every Thursday night. Her daily occupation also reflects Pat’s interest in medicine, as she is employed in the pharmacy at Battle Creek Sanitarium Hospital. Pat, who lives near Putnam Park with her parents, the Eugene Lingholms, is also a CPR instructor for Calhoun County Red Cross, teaching classes wherever she may be assigned. A newly-enacted Michigan law requires at least one EMT on each ambulance run this year. By 1980 the regulation calls for two EMT’s to be in the ambulance on each call. Eight Nashville men received EMT ratings in December after successful completion of a 120 hour course taught at Pennock Hospital under the auspices of Grand Valley State College. The Nashville United Methodist Church Board of Trustee will meet at 7:30 p.m. Wednesday, January 17th, at the church.

The old Wolcott House on Nashville’s South Main Street, featured in last week’s “Memories of the Past”, recalled happy days for Mrs. Beatrice Penfold of Nashville. The former Beatrice Harrington, Mrs. Penfold remembers spending weeks at a time in the old hotel as a young child, Visiting her older sister, Linda Harrington, who was em­ ployed as a “live-in” maid. There was a large room off the kitchen which served as maid’s quarters, Beatrice recalls, and though she was no more than five or six years old at the time, she remembers the interior of the old building well. The year was about 1905, or earlier, and Mr. and Mrs. Casper “Cap” Bowen were operating the hotel. The Bowens had an only child, a daughter named Kate, and while they resided in the hotel the Harrington family lived on the Bowen’s place south of town. The late Linda Harrington, whose married name was Butler, worked for the Bowens at the Wolcott House for several years. Mrs. Penfold was able to confirm that the old hotel was built sometime before the turn of the century but the exact date is, as yet, unknown. Readers who have information or memories of early Nashville are encouraged to call this reporter so that we may share those recollections with others. Sincere thanks to all the many dear and helpful ones who have shown such a interest in the project and assisted in research for the “Memories” feature. A recent Maply Valley News article on the local “Chit Chat Club’’ is on display at the Steakhouse in Nashville, made into an attractive wall decoration by restaurant owner, Agnes Hughes. The MVN story, which reports the clubs’ December appearance on Channel 8-TV, joins an earlier newspaper account of the Chit-Chatters published last summer by the Lansing State Journal. Both plaques, made by Mrs. Hughes, are exhibited on the south wall of the restaurant. Mr. and Mrs. Adrien (Robie) Pufpaff enjoyed New Year’s Day dinner with her brother and his wife, Mr. and Mrs. Don David of Battle Creek. Robie, who has been under the weather for the past several weeks, has now improved somewhat and reports she is enjoying a lovely poinsettia plant brought to her by Rev. Putnam. A rehearsa presentation of the opera, Krutnava (Whirlpool), at the Michigan State University auditorium was a special treat last Wednesday evening for Mrs. Hilda Baas of Nashville and Mrs. Greta Firster of Vermontville. Senior citizens were complimentary guests at the per­ formance of the opera, which is the best known work of Eugen Schon, a Slavic composer. The audience was privileged to meet the composer following the presentation. Performed in English, the opera featured many singers and outstanding costumes from Slovakia. A huge orchestra and impressive scenery made it a most memorable event.

Mrs. Waite, who is 84, had fallen in her home Friday evening, and it was later determined her hip was broken. She underwent surgery last Monday and is doing well. At almost the same time, the ambulance was summoned to the Ahmo Jordan residence north of town to transport Mrs. Joran’s father, J.B. Cain, to Pennock Hospital. He was .suffering from complications of a viral infection. A Nashville fire truck responded to the call and then summoned the Vermontville ambulance to transport the patient. Mrs. Jordan had high praise for the quick response of both departments. By last Wednesday, Mr. Cain had improved enough to be released from the hospital. The Cains, who live at Carp Lake near Mackinaw City, are wintering with the Jordans and really enjoy reading the Maple Valley News, their daughter reports. Nashville residents are reminded that January 22, is the last day to register for the upcoming village primary election, February 19.

The general election will be March 12, and the newly-elected trustees will take office April 1. Temperatures of 25 to 30 below zero greeted the George Wards of Thornapple Lake Road when they went “home for the holidays” to North Dakota. George, Janet, and son Quentin, recently returned from a two-week trip to spend Christmas with relatives there. George’s family lives at Larimore and Janet’s at Mohall. Enroute to North Dakota, the Wards were snowbound overnight at a truck stop near Moorehead, Minnesota. Despite the chilly weather in North Dakota, the Wards enjoyed snowmobiling on relative’s ranch land. Road conditions for the trip back to Michigan were good until they reached Gary, Indiana, where the Wards ran into the remnants of our most recent storm. A two-car accident, involving property damage only, occured at the South End Food and Beverage parking lot last Tuesday evening. An auto backing from a parking space struck a vehicle parked in the lot. No injuries were reported in the incident which was policed by the Nashville Police Department. Ray Pennock of Nashville was taken to Pennock Hospital by Nashville ambulance early Sunday morning, January 7, suffering with heart problems. By Wednesday, he had im­ proved enough to be taken out of the intensive care unit at the hospital and, at this writing, it is expected he may be released this week. Mrs. Walter (Mabel) Furlong of Nashville was able to return home last Tuesday after a five-day stay at Pennock Hospital.

The scene is Nashville’s Central Park in its infancy. The old Union Hotel which previously occupied the site had burned and fallen into hazardous disrepair before the lot was purcheased by the village in 1915 and converted into a park. Six years later, when this photo was taken, - young maples transplanted from Putnam Park in a thinning-out program had successfully taken hold, encircling a wading pool and fountain. The star attraction in the park was the fountain statue, a cherub holding aloft a large fish cascading water from its’ mouth. Originally at home in the Michigan Central Railroad Park, located northwest of the old depot (the park was across the street from the present-day VFW Hall), the cherub came into possession From the Maple Valley Home Ec Department A Deluxe G.E.

PlacecTin the center of a circular wading pool in the heart of Nashville’s down­ town park, the cherub found a new home to the delight of local youngsters. On the right in the photo can be seen the old Star (later the Flo) Theater and, in the background, St. Cyril’s Catholic Church. The old theater showed silent movies with piano accompaniment until “talkies” came along, and continued in operation until torn down in the 1960’s. The cherub, however, was gone from the Central Park scene long before then. In years subsequent to its placement in the village park, the delightful figure would disappear on an oc­ casional Halloween night but was always returned until the final instance. That time it was not replaced and knowledge of the cherub’s whereabouts was never learned. Although the fate of the statue still remains a mystery, rumor had it that “out-of-towners” were responsible for the cherub’s last departure from its Central-Park Home. The wading pool, without the guardian cherub, soon became neglected and was eventually filled with soil for a petunia planting project by a local civic organization. Unfortunatley, shade from the now-large maples hin­ dered the growth of flowers and, today, Central Park still misses the cherub’s beauty.

In other business the Chamber membership voted Wednesday to create a new office of corresponding secretary, splitting the duties of the present secretary, who will continue to serve as recording secretary < for the organization. This step was taken to lighten the burden of work which has evolved in the secretarial post the past few years. . Terril Thomas volunteered to serve as corresponding secretary and was elected by the membership. She will assume responsibility for handling incoming and outgoing mail for the Chamber. Other newly-elected of­ ficers serving in 1979 with Andrus will be John Mason as vice president; Sharon Brumm as treasurer; and Irene Goodnoe as recording secretary. Andrus asked that each newly appointed committee head be prepared at February’s meeting to briefly list objectives their committee hopes to ac­ complish in the coming year. Andnis explained that he hoped the listing of goals would help coordinate efforts of the chamber as a whole. In addition to the three new committees created by Andrus, two standing but non-functioning committees were also reactiviated for 1979. These are the Welcome New Residents and the Legislative committees. “The purpose of the new committees is to clearly define certain areas which have been previously un­ touched,” said Andrus. “The purpose of the Chamber, as stated in its charter, is to promote and enhance all areas of common interest that shall be for the general good of the Nashville community,” Andrus added. He/stressed that the new committees would reach areas left untouched in the past, Andrus promised to provide a copy of the Chamber’s charter to each member at February’s meeting. 4-H winter ‘funday’ planned .*.

Michigan agricultural people, it seems, have come full circle. The early settlers of our fair State were by and large, lumbermen. These hardy souls were busiest during the winter season, felling and cutting up trees and hauling logs to the decking yards on river banks. In the summer, busy though they were, these people actually had more lesisure time. Then came the post lumbering days when folks gain their living by farming pursuits. In these days of yore, spring, summer and fall seasons were extremely busy times with winter time the season for relaxation. How tis the time of the huge equipment farmer. Extremely busy during periods of planting and harvesting, todays farmer finds time to go on trips or just go fishing during the summer. But come winter-its the Let’s DISCO one of the new classes offered at M.V.A disco dancing class is to be offered at Maple Valley in January 1979. The class will be presenting the basics of disco dancing as clearly and as simply as possible for those with little or no dance background as well as in­ troducing movements to . interest the more ex­ perienced dancer. The only things needed to become a disco dancer are — a little time, a little energy and a little training.

Are the Girl Scouts still taking in glass? The answer, YES, most definitely. In fact its more important than ever now that everyone save their re­ usable glass instead of sending it to the garbage dumps. In the past years the scouts have averaged over 10 tons of re-cycled glass taken to Owens Ill. plant in Charlotte. That $300.00 has gone a long way to help finance the local troops. Now that the pop and beer bottles will be taken back for deposits, the amount of glass saved for re­ cycling will drop greatly, unless the people who never bothered to save before start doing it now. The local girls urge that you make a resolution this year to - 1. Buy in glass whenever you have a choice. If it comes in cans or plastic, you then have a disposal problem. Besides, food packed in glass has more appeal, you know what you are getting at first glance. So please, look the store shelf over good, and BUY IT IN GLASS. 2. After you are through with the container, rinse it out and put it in a grocery sack (you’ve by now found a area that you are storing those re-turnables anyway) and when you get a full sack or more, just drop it off at the “glass Shanty” when you come to town. We are sure there are even a lot of scout families that aren’t now saving glass that could change their ways and get into the habit. Won’t you “trash throwers” change your ways too, and take that sack of change to the scouts re-cycling collection place? All those sacks of glass are like money for us!!

Top issues are expected to be property tax relief and transportation funding, but 2 House recounts must be completed before any action can be taken. Equal Rights-Michigan Supreme Court Chief Justice Mary Coleman, elected by her colleagues last week, is the first woman to head any of our three branches of government. Governor Milliken and the House Speaker head the other two. Child Liability-A new law has raised to $5,000 from $1,500 the maximum liability of parents for malicious or willful personal injury or property damage committed by their under-18 (legally, unemancipated) children. Plate Fees-Petitions have been filed to stop the increase in motor vehicle weight taxes now in effect These will be challenged in court on the basis that the tax increase was an appropriation which is constitutionally exempt from referendum. If they survive that, the increase will be halted until a 1980 public vote, and refunds will be made on plates already bought. Car Registration-Governor Milliken has now signed into law HB 6593, which will revise the preseht system of registration for most passenger cars, vans, trailers and pickups. All registrations presently expire every March 31, creating long lines; but as of October 1,1979, we will begin changing to a system in which registrations expire on the owner’s birthday. Traffic Crimes-Routine traffic and parking violations used to be criminal misdemeanors, but as a result of legislation enacted in December, speeding, wrong turns and many other violations are now civil offenses which carry a fine but no imprisonment. Handicapped Parking-The Attorney General has ruled that handicapped persons may park their cars at metered spaces for free and not the subject to local prosecution, provided their cars have state stickers identifying them as handicapped-owned. This is allowed by state law. Lie Tests-It is now the law that an employer cannot require an employee to take a lie-detector test as a condition of employment. However, law enforcement agencies may still use such tests for employees who are subject to internal Investigation. Lights Out-One of the last bills signed into law in 1978 bans the sale of decorative gas lamps, and certain home ap­ pliances with continuously-burning pilot lights, after June 1 of this year.

The council has known for some time that water rate in­ creases would be needed. Installation of new water meters was suggested by the village’s auditing firm last July as one step in curtailing a 45 percent loss ratio bet­ ween gallons pumped and gallons billed. “A system that has a loss of over 17 percent is considered ex­ cessive in the industry,” said the July 25th letter from Donald L. Lloyd of Foote, Iles, Foote, & Lloyd. Fire truck, hydrant, and pool filling useage was noted and allowed for in his conclusion. Although some new meters have been purchased, none has been installed since receipt of that letter, ac­ cording to Councilman John Mason, who has headed the DPW committee since Oc­ tober. He cited a shortage of manpower as the reason. The council last Thursday hired Larry Corkwell as a sewer and water operator trainee, agreeing to pay him $4.75 per hour with a 25 cent Michigan cheeses make good snacks After a busy holiday season, a quiet evening by the fireside with friends is a welcome change of pace. Tasty snacks from fine Michigan cheeses can be easily prepared for such an occasion. More than 34 million pounds of cheese was produced in our state last year, according to the Michigan Department of Agriculture, including cheddar, Colby, Monterey, Italian, Muenster, brick, cream and farmer cheeses. Michigan has 15 cheese factories, with major cheese production in Arenac, Bay, Clare, Menominee and Wayne counties. Our state also ranks fifth in the nation in cottage cheese production. There are more than 400 varieties of natural cheeses, each distinctive in flavor, body and texture. Method of coagulating milk, kind of milk used, type of culture and ripening conditions determine the kind of cheese. Natural cheeses are cured from 30 days to a year and labelled mild, medium aged, or sharp. Cheddar, Colby, Monterey and Muenster are excellent mild cheeses for appetizers, salads and sandwiches. Italian cheeses such as parmesan, mozzarella and romano are milk to sharp in flavor, ideal for spaghetti, pizza or lasagna. Mozzarella cheese has an elastic texture which becomes stringy when heated. Cheese contains many of milk's nutrients including protein, calcium and vitamin A. To make one pound of cheddar requires 10 pounds of milk. Three ounces of cheddar has about the same protein as three large eggs or three ounces of cooked beef. Five ounces of cheddar has the same amount of calcium as 34 cups of milk. Natural cheese keeps well in the refrigerator for several weeks. However, long holding results in additional curing and a sharper flavor. Always serve cheese at room tem­ perature to bring out the full flavor. raise after a 9o-day requested by the contractor probation period. had caused the delay but it They also discussed the was now completed, he said, possibility of having water and “monies will probably customers read their own be set aside for the project meters as a means to save this spring.” Even without a manhours and dollars.

Obituaries A weekly Report from; Senator Richard Allen Governor Milliken is, in my opinion, a dynamic and exciting leader and a fine public speaker. His .State of the State Address to the Legislature was not interrupted once by applause and was generally reviewed as uninspiring which is an indication of the Governor’s ability as a leader and a practical politician. The people are not in the mood for grand, inspiring new programs, nor for a wholesale cut of present ones. That’s the message from last year’s ballot issues. Also, it seems unlikely that the Governor expects to serve any longer than the present term. And, Milliken has learned by experience that bold new programs take a long time to achieve.

AMERICAN CANCER SOCIETY t I HIS SPACE CON 1RIRUIED RY THE PUBLISHER AS A PUBLIC SERVICE, Nashville - Mr. Vern A. Blanck, 79, of 218 Sherman St. died Saturday, January 13,1979 at Pennock Hospital. He was born November 20, 1899 in Assyria Township, the son of Frank and Mabie (Penfold) Blanck. He married Agnes Curtis on December 10, 1920 and was a farmer in the area all his life, retiring in 1968. He was a member of the Farm Bureau. Mr. Blanck. is survived by his wife Agnes; two sons, Aaron of Myrtle Point, Oregon, and Richard of Bronson, Mich.; one daughter, Mrs. Robert (Wilma) Saunders of Ver­ montville; two sisters, Mrs. Gertrude Streit of Battle Creek, and Mrs. Vera Kibby of Taylor, Michigan; one brother, Francis of Fort Wayne, Indiana; nine granchildren and eleven World wheat crop up but U.S. production down­ by Warren J Cook, County Extension .Director Favorable worldwide weather conditions boosted the 1978 world wheat crop 5 percent higher than expected, but U.S. farmers didn’t contribute to the trend. Domestic wheat production dropped by 12 percent compared to 1977. According to Michigan State University agricultural economist Harold J. Ecker, total world wheat production is pegged at 422 million metric tons in 1978. That’s about 40 million tons higher than the 1977 crop. In spite of global wheat production increases, only about one-half as much U.S. wheat is under loan com­ pared to December 1, 1977. This means that any need for production controls should be short-lived, says Ecker, because world' wheat con­ sumption levels will continue to increase more rapidly than production. Ecker also notes that, if an international wheat agreement is signed, it would commit participating nations to set aside reserves. This would cause a tem­ porary increase in price until reserve requirements are met in nations that presently have no surplus. The 1978 U.S. wheat crop1.78 billion bushels-is the lowest since 1972. Lower yields mean that the U.S. total wheat supply of 2.96 billion bushels is 6 percent less than the 1977-78 supply; with a corresponding drop in expected U.S wheat sur­ pluses. The United States now holds over one-third of the world’s surplus wheat stocks. U.S. wheat exports are expected to total 1 billion to 1.2 billion bushels during the present crop year. “In­ creased sales to China and Brazil could push exports over the 1.2 billion bushel mark if present export levels continue,” says Ecker. Current U.S. wheat prices are well above prices of competitive feed grains, so the amount of wheat used in animal feeds has declined. Wheat used for human consumption is running slightly ahead of last year’s record 569 million bushels. Estimated U.S. Wheat Obituary continued great-grandchildren.

About half of this surplus will be in farmerand government-owned stocks that won’t be available on the market until the U.S. average farm price rises above $3.29 per bushel. In Michigan, soft red winter wheat supplies are down nearly one-third from last year because of reduced plantings and widespread winter damage in the soft red winter wheat production areas.-Ecker estimates the 1978 U.S. crop at 200 million bushels, compared to 341 million last year. Michigan production of soft white winter wheat is also down, but production increases in the Pacific Northwest offset reduced eastern yields so that total U.S. soft white winter wheat supplies are about equal to last year’s 309 million bushels. “Present high prices for soft wheat are declining, and it is very doubtful if Michigan at-farm prices will hold at the December 1978 level,” says Ecker. “If normal selling patterns occur in January the price paid to Michigan wheat producers could drop to $3.40 per bushel or lower.” Storage didn’t become a problem as expected in 1978. With forecasted production increases for 1979, however, growers may be wise to contract for storage well in advance of wheat harvest EAST SIDE WEST SIDE J % % & ft i*’ dlrf* jjdfciii ■iiin! iiijaid ■Hty iaifci line liiK All around the town■ImiajU Good news about Russ Kerbyson, he came through his surgery in flying colors and is out of Intensive Care.

Main St., Vermontville - Ph. 726-0569 this record surge in new jobs has meant an end to despair, uncertainty, and depen­ dence. Those gains in employment are now threatened, however, by another economic menace rising inflation. High inflation has been with us for over a decade. At times we have had high unem­ ployment and high inflation at the same time. High in­ flation means we all must struggle, sometimes unsuccessfully, just to keep up with the rising cost of living. The poor, the elderly, and those on fixed incomes are most threatened. For the restofus, inflation can mean frustration, uncertainty, and a loss offaith in our ability to provide for ourselves and our families in the future President Carter’s anti­ inflation program is made up of three major planks. The federal government will lead the way by reducing the budget deficit and putting a freeze on new government hiring. At the same time, a comprehensive effort will be made to eliminate costly, duplicative, and un­ necessary government regulations which drive prices up and limit real competition. And finally, wage and price guidelines will be used to bring the inflationary spiral under control. The President has already cut the federal budget deficit by a third since he took of­ fice, and in the coming year he will cut it to less than half what it was in 1976. Those tight budget policies will not be easy, according to President Carter, and “short term sacrifices will be required.” He has made it clear, however, that every portion of the budget will receive equally tough scrutiny.

(1-24) sumer of cutting unnecessary government regulations are already obvious in the airline in­ dustry. More people are using the airlines and prices are down sharply. The President has chosen the man who led the airline deregulation effort, Alfred Kahn, to lead the govern­ ment anti-inflation fight and Kahn has vowed to continue the fight against red tape and inflationary overregulation. Government spending and regulation are only two parts of the problem, however. As the President pointed out in his address to the nation, “In the last ten years, in our attempts to protect our­ selves from inflation, we have developed attitudes and habits that actually keep inflation going.” Working people expect prices to go up so they ask for higher pay to stay ahead. Business expect higher inflation so they adjust their prices and collective bargaining set­ tlements accordingly. Wages and prices chase each, other in an upward inflationary spiral. The President’s voluntary wage and ^rice guidelines are intended to bring that spiral under control. Workers are asked to settle for a maximum 7 percent increase. Companies are asked to hold their price increase to one-half percent below their average increase for 1976 and 1977. If the guidelines are followed, the inflationary spiral can be “wound down,” and everyone will benefit by having their dollars buy more. Compliance with the guidelines will be monitored by the Coucil on Wage and Price Stability, and where possible, government will use procurement and other policies to ensure that companies cooperate.

January 15, the due date for Form 1040-ES, is nearly here. 1040-ES is the Declaration of Estimated Income Tax for farmers who wish to wait until April 15 to file their 1040 like everyone else. This is not necessarily an advantage since you may have to send in a payment and lose the use of that money for six weeks. January 31 is the due date for Forms W-2, W-3 and 943 Each employee gets their W2 form and a W-2 and W-3 go to the IRS. Form 943 is the final accounting form used if you had farm employees and withheld income tax or social security tax on wages paid. March 1 is the farmers’ filing deadline, unless a 1040ES has been filed. April 15, the final due date for all taxpayers, falls on a Sunday this year, so you have until midnight on Monday, April 16th to mail in your tax returns. Nashville News continued— serving will be the Tea Committee for the month: Mrs. Elizabeth Lynch and Mrs. Margaret Aspinall. Mr. and Mrs. Carroll (Joyce) Lamie of Nashville recently returned home from a three-week visit with their son and family, T-Sgt. Roger Lamie, wife Margaret, and children Kim and Bobby, at AFB Ft. Belvouir, Virginia. The Lamie’s pre-Christmas flight, scheduled to leave from Lansing, was delayed one day due to our inclimate weather, and they finally flew out of Grand Rapids airport going by way of Pittsburg. They enjoyed the stopover at the spacious airport there, filled with holiday travelers and interesting shops. While in Virginia the weather was in the low 60’s but there was snow one day, much to the youngster’s delight. A tour of the Air and Space Museum at the Smithsonian Institute in Washington, D.C., was very much enjoyed by the Lamies. They also had the opportunity to share in the celebration of grandson Bobby’s thrid birthday two days after Christmas. The event was highlighted by a trip to Farrell’s Ice Cream Parlor where Bobby received special honors. Congratulations are in order for a Nashville man, Jerry Fager, who is foreman of the Hastings Manufacturing Company machining department which recently took top honors in a company-sponsored “Silver Dollars for Safety” program. Fager’s twenty-employee department was selected above 23 others in the company for showing the best improvement in safety inspection over the previous quarter. Each person in Fager’s department received 25 silver dollars as a reward for winning the competition, a new and ongoing company program to promote industrial safety. Jerry Reid, son of Mr. and Mrs. Clarence (Margaret) of Nashville was admitted to Blodgett Hospital in Grand Rapids last Tuesday. At the time of this report his condition was stable and it was not known how much longer he would be hospitalized. Rev. and Mrs. Robert Taylor of Nashville recently returned from a week’s vacation, snowmobiling near Beulah. They report the weather was not the most ideal, as temperatures never got above five degrees and they received 6 to 8 inches of new snow each day. Mrs. George (Pat) Vogt of Nashville is still confined at Pennock Hosptial following recent hip surgery necessitated by a pre-Christmas fall. It is expected that she will remain at the hospital for at least three weeks of recuperation and, at the present, is quite immobilized having one leg weighted down. Pat is in Roo 301. The recent ice storm in our area has proved to be a real hardship on wildlife. Birds, rabbits, quail, pheasant, and other small game have been unable to cut through the half­ inch coating of ice to reach their normal food supply. Orville “Mike” Everett of Nashville, whom we consulted about the problem, suggests people keep bird feeders full and throw out food where possible to help alleviate the hardship. He said even rabbits have been coming to his feeders late at night to seek remnants left by the birds. Quail and pheasant face an additional problem, he said, as they cannot obtain the gravel needed for digestion of their food, which is also in very short supply. Small animals that normally feed on brush and bark have no means of cutting through the layer of ice. The deer, Mike reports, are in pretty good shape as they are able to feed on standing corn even though it is coated with ice. He says the serious problem for small game is in our immediate area and south of us, as twenty miles north they have had no serious ice conditions. The Nashville Police Department was responsible for the recent recovery of an auto stolen out of Grand Rapids and the apprehension of a juvenile suspect in connection with the theft. The arrest was made by the local police very early New Year’s Day. The glass door of a downtown business was broken by. vandals sometime during the night hours, New Year’s Day.' The incident was discovered Tuesday morning and reported to the local police department. A nice letter was received last week from Kenneth A. Meade, a Nashville native now living in Franklin, Michigan, expressing his appreciation for the hometown news. He said he particulary enjoyed the new “Memories” series and was able to add an interesting footnote to our recent story on the Joe Hurd Garage. From 1919 to 1921, while a high school student here, Meade would on occasion make trips to Highland Park where Ford Model T’s were made and drive them back to Nashville for Hurd. “The roads were a bit different then than they are now,” he writes. Enclosed in his letter was a photo of the NHS class of 1920, taker) in the spring of 1917. All but two of the students had been identified by Meade. The picture will be published in an upcoming “Memories”, and we thank Mr. Meade for his interest in the Maple Valley News. Harlow White was taken to Community Hospital in Battle Creek last week after becoming quite ill. At the time of this report, he had been confined five days and was undergoing various tests but it was expected he would be released shortly. Mrs. Maggie Histead, a 91-year old former Nashville resident now living in a rest home, was taken to Pennock Hospital in Hastings last Wednesday. She.is a mother-in-law to Mrs. Gladys Histead of Nashville. Maggie's daughter, Mrs. William Lewis of Sundago Park at Thornapple Lake, reports that at this writing her mother’s condition remains unchanged and it is not known how much longer she will have to remain hospitalized.

The owners were not at home at the time of the fire. They had left Sunday, due to poor driving conditions, to stay in Ionia nearer their'places of employment. Anderson works in Lansing and Mrs. Anderson is employed in Ionia. The Nashville Fire Department, assisted by tankers and firemen from Hastings and Vermontville, spent five hours in the bitter cold pumping approximately 20,000 gallons of water on the blaze. High winds and temperatures at zero hampered the firemen. Nashville firefighters first on the scene entered the smoke-filled house, using Scott Air tanks. Very few flames were visible at that time, but intense heat whs building up in the structure as fire raged through par­ titions and in the attic area. An explosion of an un­ determined source blew two Nashville firemen back out the front door but, for­ tunately, neither was in­ jured. The fire burst into view and as the firemen fought to control the blaze, several trips were required to refull the tankers. The firemen stayed on the scene until 7:30 p.m. and Tuesday afternoon an additional tanker of water was taken out to cool down the smouldering debris. . According to authorities, the loss was not covered by insurance. The Andersons and their grandson, who lives with them, are staying at a motel in Ionia. Two animals die when barn roof caves in Dave Murphy of Nashville surveys the damage at his farm after his snowcovered barn roof caved in, killing a two month old heifer and a full grown steer. The beef cow, shown in the photo, has been down since the incident occured early Sunday rriorning. Details of the story appear in the Nashville News column Written by Mrs. Ray Hinckley.

(Maple Valley News Photo) The Maple Valley boys varsity basketball team split last week’s contests losing Friday afternoon at Central Montcalm 57-43 and winning Saturday afternoon 66-65 against Portland. The Lions cold first quarter shooting gave the host Hornets a 18-4 ad­ vantage which the visitors could not overcome. A sluggish offense and lack of rebounding slowed the Lion pursuit. MV did come within 9 points of the Hornets by applying pressure defense in the third quarter but the Lions failed to convert on the Hornet turnovers. Andy Joostberns tallied 22 point for the Lions. Kim Ritter scored 17 points for Central. Central Montcalm stands 4-2 in league play. Jeff Mead and Tom Gurd played key rolls in the close 66-65 win over winless Portland on Saturday. Jeff Mead went to the freethrow line and calmly sank the two points that put MV ahead with 12 seconds left to play. On the return down court Tom Gurd grabbed the rebound from an errant Raider shot and clinched the victory for his Lion team. Valley had a 12 point lead in the first half that was dissapated by the 15 points the Raiders scored at freethrow line in the second quarter. They were 29 of 35 for the night.

Monday morning All were up bright and early as this was the day of the swearing-in ceremonies and the day for which we had all worked to bring about. Some of our group left early to tour the Library of Congress. Some of us went directly to Howard’s office in the Cannon Bldg., a very beautiful building with easy access to the House of Representatives. Four of our group drew tickets to watch swearing-in service in person. The rest watched on Cont. Pg. 10— �Th» Mopto Volley Newt. Nothvtile, Wednesday.

The most recent blast, which started January 13th, followed on the heels of air New Year s ice storm, and mounds of new snow topped layers of ice below, making travel very hazardous and creating a real hardship for many local residents Wildlife, as well as domestica ted animals, a Iso continued to suffer as a result of our January storms Livestock was lost at the Dave Murphy farm on East Street when a bam roof collapeed under an 18inch burden of snow The mishap apparently occured about 4 a.m. Sunday morning but was not discovered until 7 a m Killed instantly by the cave-in was a 2 month old heifer A full grown steer, suffering from extreme shock, had to be destroyed. Another beef cow, ready to freshen, ts still down though she sustained no apparent injuries other than shock. The animal to taking nourishment, however, and to expected to survive. Friends and neighbors of the Murphys gathered in the bitter cold early Sunday to aid in lifting debris to free the trapped cattle Fortunately, the bulk of Murphy’s herd had taken . shelter for the night in an adjoining bam which was not damaged. Classes at Maple Valley resumed last Wednesday, after being called off follinving’ the most recent winter blast However, by noon, weather conditions had deteriorated to the point that classes were again dismissed School was also cancelled Thursday and Friday. “When push came to shove”: it was last week in our village as friends, neighbors, and even strangers, stopped to aid one another in freeing trapped vehicles from the clut ches of snow One bright side of the storm to see, and ap­ preciate, such kindness. Snow by the truck load was removed from Nashville's Main Street last week by the village DPW crew. Using a front-end loader and dump truck, the men worked several days on gigantic task to clear parking areas and in­ tersections. The crew has worked virtually “around the clock" recently, plowing village streets to keep them safe and passable The recent blizzard did not deter friends of Mrs. Tim (Bessie) Smith of Nashville from gathering for a birthday party in her honor, Saturday evening The January 13th event was hosted by Bessie’s sister and brother-in-law, Betty and Kendal Wilcox of Nashville. Mrs. Larry (June) Decker of Nashville was able to return home from Pennock Hospital two days after her recent admittance. June was taken to the hospital by Nashville ambulance after becoming suddenly very ill while down­ town at her husband’s service station. She underwent a .series of tests and is now feeling improved. ’ Plans for a month of special Sundays are underway at the Nashville Baptist Church. February has been designated “Family Month" and will include special days to honor in­ laws, sweethearts, children, and grandparents. Complete details will be published next week. Congratulations to Cheryl Barton and Martin Kane who were married Saturday afternoon, January 13th, during the height of our recent blizzard. The ceremony was performed by Rev. Leonard Putnam at the Nashville United Methodist Church and was followed by a reception in the Church Community House. Cheryl is the daughter of Joan and Walter Neff, and Martin is the son of Leonard and Marian Kane, all of rural Nashville. Mrs. Charles Askins of Nashville recently returned from a two-weeks Christmas visit with her son and family, the Raymond Askins, at Boyne City, Michigan. Three grand­ children were home from college to join in the holiday festivities. A proud “first time” grandmother is Mrs. Jean Hickey of Nashville. The new arrival was born December 27 to Mr. and Mrs. Dennis Depriester of Seminole, Texas. Mrs. Depriester is the former Debbie Hickey of Nashville. The baby, a tiny girl, arrived ahead of schedule and weighed in at only 4 lbs. 13 ozs. She has been named Sara Rae Jean and is progressing very well. Maternal grandfather is Raymond Hickey of rural Nashville. The baby’s parternal grand­ parents reside in Hastings. Ray Pennock of Nashville, who was recently hospitalized at Pennock in Hastings suffering with heart problems, was able to return home last Tuesday. Although he still tires easily, he is showing improvement, his wife reports. She has also been ill recently and receiving medical treatment Several colorful personalities from Nashville’s earlier days have been suggested as possible subject for our weekly “Memories" feature. Does anyone have a photo of “Ha” Taylor they would lend for reprinting? She is just one of many special people who stand out in the memories of local residents. “Ma” and her husband, Jim, operate a livery stable on South Main Street for many years and became somewhat of a legend in our village. Many tales abound regarding her kindness to local school younsters who stabled their horses at Taylor’s. Another interesting character, whose photo we are also seeking, is Henry Roe and his onehorse wagon. “I can still picture him with his white goatee,” writes Nashville native Wayne Fuller, now of Toledo. A recent letter from Fuller, a faithfull Maple Valley News subscriber, mentioned several possibilities for future “Memories” features. If anyone has pictures of Nashville’ past to share, they are asked to please call this reporter. The photos will be safely reproduced and returned to the owner, with acknowledgment given the lender. Our thanks to all who have shown such an interest in this project The Nashville Fire Department, assisted by tankers and firemen from Vermontville and Hastings, battled a house blaze on Maple Grove Road last Monday, spending five hours on the scene. They were hampered by high winds and bitter cold. The house and contents, belonging to the David Andersons, were considered a total loss. A complete report on the fire appears elsewhere in this issue of the Maple Valley News. Abandonded vehicles created headaches for local police officals and road clearing crews last week, and added to the work load of the busiest men in town; the. tow truck operators. The Nashville Police Department received a report last Wednesday of a battery missing from an auto that had been left parked three days in the downtown area. The vehicle was finally ordered towed away by the property owner, and it was then discovered that the car’s battery was gone. Another abandonded vehicle, left parked on Main Street for two days during the recent storm, was ordered towed away by the Nashville Police last week. The auto, which was completely covered with snow, was registered to a Verlmontville individual. The Builder’s Sunday School Class of the United Methodist Church will meet at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Eldbn Day in Nashville at 8:00 p.m. Wednesday, January 24th. Mrs. Erma Feighner, a Nashville native now residing at the Barry County Medical Care Facility, celebrated her 90th birthday last Wednesday, January 17th. Mrs. Emily Hafner of Nashville remains confined at Barry County Medical tare Facility, following a recent stay at Pennock Hospital. Mrs. Hafner is 98 years of age. Albert Conklin of rural Nashville recently brought us a report taken from an old travel diary, relating a 1934 trip by several local residents through Michigan’s Upper Penin­ sula. “On Tuesday morning, August 14, the yard of A.J. Miller’s residence in Assyria Twp. was filled with friends and neighbors to see a load of people off for the northland, and at nine o’clock the party was made up including Arthur, Rose, and Belle Miller; Frank, Frances, and Dorothy Green; Ivan Briggs; Lucy Butler; Eleanor Cotton; Bert Clark; Clifford, Lena, and Sarah Conklin; Mr. Darby and son Dorr; Flora Taylor; Olive Tobias; Lyman Tompkins; Bert May; Norma Case; and Fred Potter, all anxious to explore the Upper Peninsula,” the story begins. A daily account follows. Although Conklin is unsure of the author, the diary is filled with astute historical and geographical observations of the area, as well as day-to-day experiences during the eleven-day journey in which 1,260 miles were logged. Conlkin said the group traveled in a large truck, hauling a trailer of camping gear behind. The return trip home, via Wisconsin, included a sightseeing stopover in Chicago. An interesting note near the end of the excursion: “Wednesday morning, August 22, (On U.S. 100) Cross into Illinois; met 30 cars in 10 minutes. Very level, productive land. Lucy gets song books out and we have singing. An airplane wrote‘Phillips 66’ in the sky on clouds.”” Last Wednesday’s scheduled meeting of the Women’s Literary Club was cancelled due to bad weather. The organization will next meet in March, at which time the club’s annual reports will be given. The women had planned no February gathering due to many members being south during the winter months. Training classes for Sunday School teachers and children’s church workers will be offered at the Nashville Baptist Church in weekly Monday night sessions, starting at 7 p.m. January 21. The child Evangelism course, entitled “The Victorious Life”, will be conducted by Bill Wetzel of Hastings. All area churches are invited to sent their Sunday School teachers and others who work with children to these informative classes. Mr. and Mrs. Ard Decker recently returned from a threeweeks holiday visit with son Elton and family at Lyndon, Kansas. They accompanied another son and his wife, John and Judy Decker of Delton, who were enroute to California in their motor home. The Ard Deckers remained in Kansas with Elton while John and Judy continued to the west coast, returning by way of Kansas. Elton is a civilian flight chief for the Air National Guard at Forbes Field, and Ard and Iza enjoyed a tour of aircraft there. They also spent one weekend at Clay Center, Kansas, with the Jannetts, parents of Elton’s wife, Cherie. On the return trip to Michigan, the Deckers stopped at O’Hare International Airport to pick up the John Decker’s daughter, Marcia, who had just returned from a month’s stay in Mexico as an exchange student Marcia flew from 70 degree weather into Chicago’s zero temperature. Kansas weather was variable during the Decker's visit. It was 65 degrees the day they arrived, but a blizzard hit the Lyndon area the day prior to their departure and left four-foot snow drifts in Elton's yard. Plans for the upcoming February 17th “Sweetheart Dance” were discussed at a meeting of the Riverside Recreational Development Corp, last Wednesday evening. New officers were also elected and board members reap­ pointed by the RRDC. Chosen for two-year terms were: President, Ray Hinckley; Secretary, Suzy Corkwell; and Treasurer, Helen Curtis. Other members comprising the Board of Directors are: Lois Elliston, Dick Chaffee, Dennis Lamie, Bill Hecker, Sallye McLean, and Hal Phenix. The RRDC is a hon-profit corporation dedicated to developing recreational facilities adjacent to the Thornapple River, west of the Main stores. Helen Curtis reported on a recent meeting with Michael McDonald, a state DNR grants coordinator. The RRDC is currently seeking a Water and Land Conservation Grant to help fund the proposed park. Walls were rising up around the new addition to Carl’s Market on Reed Street last week, despite our bitter cold weather and mounds of snow. The expansion will add 5,100 square feet of display area to the existing store. Completion date of the project is still hinging on father weather con­ ditions, says store owner Don Joseph. Sunday worship services at several area churches were cancelled January 14th, due to hazardous driving conditions created by our recent heavy snowstorm. However, a total of 116 worshipers arrived at the Nashville Baptist Church, Sunday morning. But special services which had been scheduled that day to honor the church’s bus workers had to be postponed until January 21st. An organizational meeting of a new group, to be known as “Friends of Putnam Library”, will be held next Tuesday morning, January 30, at 10:00 a.m. in the library. “Friends” Continued on page 10 “Two-Party Budget Service may help you save money on your phone bill.

If the cost of producing, rain - too much or not enough, too hot or too cold - don’t get you, the roll of the dice by our govern­ ment certainly will. In the 30’s, the government first started paritity, they have played fast and loose with that equality every since. Paritity is equality, the farmer wants only to be equal, that’s basic. Their aim, to keep the fertility of the soil, to keep producing, and earn the cost of production plus a reasonable profit. When the government cut out liming, its cause was lower production. Farmers want a say in the issue of land use and wet lands, and a market for raw materials produced here, that is consistant. Cost or borrowed money can put farmers out of business quick. Too much grain and cattle coming in from other countries, tariff too extreme, out of balance. Farm dollars generate of times into the economy. After each war the government has imposed another ruling on the farmer to keep them under thumb, now the government hand is covering their (farmers) entire face.

January 24, 1979— Page 4 Local woman's game serves as living memorial to Cloverleaf class matesBy Susan Hinckley Thirty years ago, when Mrs. Adah Steele of Nash­ ville first devised a bingo­ like game to entertain members of her church’s Cloverleaf Class, little did she realize it would serve as a living memorial to members long after they were gone. Adah, who joined the Cloverleaf in 1934, named each square on thirty hand­ made 5x6 inch cards after a different member of the class. In place of the letters B-IN-G-O, Adah placed the heading G-I-R-L-S on her cards; otherwise rules for the game were essentially the same. “Under G, Pauline,” the caller might announce. “Under I, Nettie, . . . Under R, Lanah, . . . Under L, Stella,... Under S, Della” .. . and on the game would go, until a vertical, horitzontal, or diagonal placement of markers decided a winner. Small, inexpensive prizes of candy, fruit, pencils, etc. were awarded. But more than en­ tertainment, the game - still played these many years later has immortalized some of the 70-plus ladies who comprised the class. Pauline Lykins, Nettie Parrott, Lanah Fisher, Stella Purchis, Della Brown . .. all now deceased but each remembered today by the players. “When the names are called, it reminds us of the ones we have lost,” muses Mrs. Steele, “We recall the good time we had together — the trips, picnics, and other outdoor activities we were able to enjoy in younger days.” The Cloverleaf Class, NEW DUMPING RATES — at the — VERMONTVILLE LANDFILL EFFECTIVE FEBRUARY 3, 1979 PASSENGER CAR......................... 1.00 STATION WAGON................ 1.50 2 WHEEL TRAILER Up to 24" sides.............. *2.00 PICKUP.................................. ’2.00 PICKUP WITH SIDEBOARDS *3.00 *2.00 VANS....................................

Vermontville Village Council January 4,1979 SHPDBIU formed in 1914 as a study and service group of the Evangelical Church has been continous since that time. When the Evangelical United Brethern Church merged with the Methodist in 1969, to become the United Methodists, the Cloverleaf Class requested permission to retain their original name which had, by then, become very well-known in the community. The local ladies met monthly to conduct a business meeting, but mostly to enjoy friendship, hymn singing, and lessons. In earlier years entertainment was furnished in a variety of ways, including skits; contests, spelling bees, and stunts. “But the members grew older,” said Mrs. Steele, “and we were less agile, and ready for quieter activity.” That is when she decided to create a game “that could be played sitting at a table.” It was then the late 1940’s and, today, GIRLS is still a favorite pastime of the organization. Several of the ladies featured in the game are still around to hear their names called. They included Nellie Moon, Edith Jones, Dorothy Edmonds, Margaret Hecker, Alice Fisher, Mary Ed­ monds, Bernice Shaw, Robie Pufpaff, Quma Smith (now in northern Michigan), Hazel Morgenthaler, Melissa Showalter, Bessie Brown (though she’s in California), Mabel Brumm, Fern Hawblitz, Frieda Laurent, Carol Jones, Elsie Cogswell, Hilda Baas, and, of course, Adah. In only two instances - the names Nellie and Bessie did Mrs. Steele find a duplication. Of those, Nellie Brumm and Bessie Decker have now passed on. Other members, whose names are still called, but have gone on are: Edna parts Cole, Grace Brumm, Alberta Howell, Amber Reid, Maud Ackett, Sylvia Welch, Audrey Appleman, Alma Leibhauser, - Cora Warner, June Nesbet, Wilma Kreig, Doris Oke, Ella Garlinger, Lillian Titmarsh, Bertha Bennett, and Daisy Scothorne. No charter members of the class remain but the present membership, which has added several new names since Adah created her game, sitll meets regularly for study, socializing, and sercice. Many a sickroom in the Nashville community has been brightened by a cheery greeting card from the Cloverleaf ladies, a class tradition which, like Adah’s GIRLS, lives on.

Railroad St., Hastings 945*9926 It’s that time of year again when many of Eaton County residents will be traveling to Kardel Hall in Charlotte every Saturday. They will be signing up for the nine week class, “The Art of Being a Clown.” They will learn what clowning is all about, types of clowns, history of clowning, understanding themselves and others, clown etiquette, facial ex­ pressions, exercise, tum­ bling, clown costume, selecting a clown name, pantomine and skits, clown props, magic, puppetry, balloon art and last, but not least, .they jvill learn the art of putting on the clbwn make-up. The final test to the students who may range in age from 12-112 will be a live performance in front of a live audience at the Junior High School in Charlotte on March 30, 1979. All family, friends and all of Eaton County will be invited to attend, so this date should be set aside on your calendars now. The instructor will be Dixie Brand, who has taught the class for the past two ‘ years. When Mrs. Brand started the first class, she had two goals. The first was to teach others in the county "to be clowns as she did not want to be the only clown in Eaton County. The second goal was to reproduce herself not only as a clown but as a clown teacher. This, she feels, will happen after this class graduates in March. They will have at least five.teachers who will teach smaller classes in all parts of the county. Therefore, students will not have to drive so far to attend class. * Mrs. Brand does not plan on teaching “The Art of Being a Clown” again. She may go on and teach an advance class to those who have taken this class. The class to begin the 27th of January at 10:00 a.m. and lasting until noon, will have many new ideas and methods that Mrs. Brand has learned from the workshop and materials she has ob­ tained in the past two years. She encourages all past students to come back and pick up and add to their past knowledge. Upon graduating from this class, all clowns are then invited to become a member of the Eaton County 4-H Clown Club. This is a very lively group,, who have had more fun entertaining in and Send your Valentine to 'College Week' Margaret Ann Ross, Ex­ tension Home Economist, Eaton County With Valentine’s Day coming up next month, personnel from Michigan State University’s Cooperative Extension Service have come up with an origial and educational gift for that special someone. The gift is College Week, a June 18-21 learning-living experience on the MSU campus, which annually, attracts more than 1,000 participants from every county in Michigan. The event includes approximately 50 class selections, with topics like time management, paren­ ting, stress, self esteem and menopause just a few of the offerings. Participants stay in a campus dormitory with food service. This year, room and board, class selections and other programs costs only $65 for the four days* ac­ cording to Wilma Miller, program coordinator. In addition, commuters who wish to attend just the classes pay only $18 and, for a one-day look at the program, the cost is just $10. According to Miller, last year’s College Week at­ tracted 1,700 people, with 43 percent attending for the first time. And, she notes that more than 400 par­ ticipants received some financial aid from organizations, businesses or other agencies in their communities. This year, the theme for College Week is “We Make a Difference.” And, like previous years, it is spon­ sored by the MSU Cooperative Extension Service’s Family Living Education program and the College of Human Ecology. College Week registration deadline is June 1. More information on the program may be obtained by phoning Ann Ross, Eaton County Extension Home Economist, phone 543-2310. around Eaton County than a barrel of monkeys. Some of the places which were privileged to have the 4-H Clowns were: area rest homes, hospitals, schools, birthday parties, children’s Christmas parties, Special Olympics, Happiness Fair, Frontier Days, store openings, weddings, reunions and, of course, parades. They are a service group. The Eaton County 4-H Clown Club has a long term goal. That is to purchase a bus which would be used to attend (as a group) many enrichment events, events which would help them to become better clowns. This bus will be purchased from the monies the clown dub earns when helping at the above mentioned events, when monies are given. They also make a make-up booth at the County Fair which is their biggest money making project. It is not too late to sign up for this class. You may call the Extension Office at 543-2310, or call Mrs. Brand at 726-1100, or just come to the first class on January 27th at Kardel Hall (on the fairgrounds) in Charlotte at 10:00 a.m. This is open to 12-112 year olds and they really like the Senior Citizens. There will be a small fee to cover make­ up, to be paid the first day of class.

These have been challenged in court on the basis that the tax increase was an ap­ propriation which is con­ stitutionally exempt from referendum.

Traffic Crimes - Routine traffic and parking violations used to be criminal misdemeanors, but as a result of legislation enacted in December, speeding, wrong turns and many other violations are now civil offenses which carry a fine but no im­ prisonment. Handicapped Parking The Attorney General has ruled that handicapped persons may park their cars at metered spaces for free and not be subject to local prosecution, provided their cars have state stickers identifying them as han­ dicapped-owned. This is allowed by state law. Lie Tests - It is now the law that an employer cannot require an employee to take a lie-detector test as a condition of employment. However, law enforcement agencies may still use such tests for employees who are subject to internal investigation.

However, one of the five candidates - George T. Frith - resigned his current trustee seat earlier this month and asked last week not to be included in our “Meet the Candidates” report. Frith stated he is “not actively seeking any office.” His nominating petition was filed prior to the December 19th deadline and ballots had been printed prior to his January 11th resignation from the village council Board of Trustees. Nashville Jaycees offer FREE snow shoveling to senior citizens locallyAs a community service, the newly organized Jaycees have initiated a new program of offering to shovel snow at the homes of area senior citizens and the handicapped. The service will be offered free of charge, and the organization’s president Mike Slocum says the Jaycees are willing to tackle sidewalks and even roofs. Slocum said senior citizens and the handicapped are welcome to call any oif the following members anytime they need to have snow shoveled at their homes: Mike Slocum, 852-9192; Curt Scramlinu 852-9734; Bill Kipp, 852-0879; Dan Watson, 852-1631; Hal Maxon, 948­ 2792; or Steve' Carpenter, 852-0836. The group started the program Thursday evening and shoveled snow at six different homes. “Now, we don’t know exactly where to go so we hope they will call us if they need snow shoveled," Slocum said. Persons who call should give their name, address, and telephone number. He-said the organization encourages the handicapped to join their group and praised Steve Carpenter, who uses a Xvheelchair, for his assistance Thursday in driving the snow shoverlers to their destinations. Last Thursday, Village President Harold Christiansen appointed Helen M. Curtis to fill Frith’s vacant post, until its ex­ piration in the spring. Curtis is also seeking election in February, along with Sharon A. Green, Sandra F. Kohfeldt, and Forrest C. Babcock. Biographical sketches, along with a statement by each candidate follows: Helen M. Curtis, Republican, of 311 N. Main Street, is seeking election to a two-year term as a Nash­ ville village trustee. A native of Maumee, Ohio, Helen has lived in Nashville four years and is owner­ operator of Maple Leaf Florists on North Main. She was appointed last week by Village President Harold Christiansen to fill the trustee seat recently vacated by the resignation of George Frith. Prior to the recent assignment, Helen had served six months on Nashville’s Planning and Zoning Commission. A graduate of Anthony Wayne High School in Maumee, Helen continued her education at Oh;o State University and Notre Dame College in Cleveland, Ohio, ear nig a Bachelor of Science degree in Education. She is currently working on a Masters degree in Theology from the University of Detroit. Helen taught mentally impaired students at Julie Billard Elementary School in Cleveland, then Continued on page 5- 73 agriculture census The 21st nationwide agriculture census will begin in January 1979 to cover operations in calendar 1978 of the Nation’s farmers, ranchers and other agricultural producers. The farm census in the recent past was taken every five years, but the upcoming count has been advanced in 1982. From 1840 to 1920 an agriculture census was taken every 10 years; since 1920, every five years. The agriculture census provides benchmark data for current statistical series maintained by the U.S. Department of Agriculture and other organizations. The data is widely used on the National level by decisionmakers in formulating policy. The 1978 census will be conducted in a two-phase program. The basic items asked of all farmers are: land in the farm by ownership; land use; production and sales of crops; inventory, amount sold, and sales value of livestock and poultry and operator and farm management characteristics. Simultaneously, a 20 percent of the farms will be asked for additional in­ formation to help compile estimated county totals for: value of land and buildings; selected production ex­ penses; selected farm equipment; hired farm labor; fertilizer and pesticide use; grain storage capacity ; and petroleum fuel usage and storage capacity. In the second phase, ad­ ditional sample surveys will be made in 1980 for the year 1979. Subjects under con­ sideration for these 10,000 to 50,000 farm samples include: farm energy uses, corporate structure, horticulture, onfarm irrigation, farm Continued on page 8 �The Maple Valley News, Nashville, Wednesday, January 31, 1979 — Page 2 Nashville News By Mrs. Ray Hinckley Ladders were up all over Nashville last week, as residents crawled onto hazardous roofs in an ^attempt to relieve the heavy burden of ice and snow. Second-story shoveling was as active as ground level snow removal, as concern about collapsing roofs increased. The predicited heavy storm, due to hit us Wednesday, was not as fierce as anticipated though classes were called off at Maple Valley the following day. High winds caused the small measure of snow that did fall to drift side roads, making travel dangerous. A fire at the Troy Foster residence on Scipio Highway, northeast of Nashville, was quickly extinguished Sunday, January 21. The Nashville Fire Department was called at 11:15 a.m. but the family had thrown dishpans of water on the blaze and it was extinguished when the firefighters arrived. There was some smoke damage to the house which is currently being remodeled. The fire apparently started when sodering was being done to install a hot water heating system, and nearby wall material ignited. An ambulance call to the Elba Ackley residence on Davenport Road by the Nashville Fire Department resulted in both Mr. and Mrs. Ackley being taken to Pennock Hospital. Mrs. Ackley had fallen in the house and, as her husband attempted to assist her, he was also stricken. Both are in their 80’s. The Ackleys were transported to hospital for treatment but their condition was reportedly not con­ sidered serious. Some local school students gathering at the Kellogg School to board buses have caused damage to a nearby church while waiting. Several instances of malicious destruction to the property have been cited recently and last week the Nashville Police Department handled a report of a door at the church being broken by the youngsters. The Nashville Maple Syrup Association held their annual meeting Friday, January 19th, and elected the following officers for the new year: President, Harold Christiansen; Vice President, Richard Martin: Secretary-Treasurer, Geneva Brumm; and Trustees: Doug Yarger, Tom Oleson, Earl Hose, and Ted Spoelstra. Syrup prices for 1979 were discussed but the matter was tabled temporarily. Tapping of the trees was done in mid-March last year, the season delayed by inclement weather, but it is too early to predict when the 1979 season will get underway. The syrup-making project is a community endeavor, with profits split among the various participating organizations. The division of proceeds is based on the hours of labor contributed on behalf of each group. A missionary to north India will speak at the Nashville Assembly of God Church Wednesday evening, January 31st, at 7 p.m. She is Miss Virginia Hamlin, who works thropugh the Assembly of God Internation Correspondence Institute in Lucknow, India. Miss Hamlin will relate her experience in missionary work and show a slide presentation, along with a display of costumes and curios of the country. Congratulations to proud new “first-time” grandparents, John and Amy Bougthon of Nashville. The new arrival was born January 17 at Butterworth Hospital to Mr. and Mrs. Martin Trimble of Grand Rapids. Mrs. Trimble is the for­ mer Alisande Boughton. The tiny baby girl, bom six weeks prematurely and weighing only 4 lbs. 7 ozs. at birth, has been named Meagan Leigh Trimble. Her ‘weight had dropped to four pounds at the time of the report, and it was expected she would remain in the hospital for at least two more weeks. An interesting footnote about Meagan’s birth involves the phenomena of ESP in animals. The John Boughtons have been keeping the Trimble’s large German Shepherd, Fred, prior to Alisande’s time for delivery. Wednesday, while John was home alone eating lunch, Fred began a terrible crying, like nothing the Boughtons had ever heard from him before. He jumped into John’s lap and seemed to be in a great state of agitation. John, for some inexplicable reason, glanced at the clock and noted that it was 1:15 p.m. When Amy returned home, John mentioned it to her. Shortly after 5 p.m., they received a call from Martin telling them Alisande had delivered by Cesearean section and at 1:15 p.m., when Fred I began his mournful uproar, the Bouthtons daughter had been in her greatest period of stress. Mrs. Elsie Ramsey of rural Nashville enjoyed a recent visit from her son, David, and family of Sturgis. David, wife Suzanne, and daughter, LeighAnne Michelle, spent two days here and also called on friends in the area. A conviction was obtained in 56th' District Court last Wednesday against a subject arrested in Nashville last August by Police Chief Kendal Wilcox. The subject, charged with driving under the influence of liquor and malicious destruction of property to radar equipment in the police cruiser, was subsequently arrested the same week on a similar charge by Trooper Darrell Vanderark of the ’ Michigan State Police, Wayland post. The subject pled quilty to the charges Wednesday and will be sentenced February 22nd, according to information received from District Court. A report of an auto running into a snowbank near the South End store, January 19, resulted in the driver of the vehicle being apprehended by the Nashville Police Department and lodged in the Barry County jail, for alledgedly driving under the influence of liquor. The Barry County Sheriff’s Depart­ ment assisted the local police in handling the incident. The auto was impounded by the Nashville Police and towed from the scene. While the Nashville police car was in Hastings, processing the complaint on the intoxicated suspect, a possible breaking and entering of a Nashville residence was reported to the Barry County Sheriff’s Department by a neighboring resident. Police Chief Wilcox was called at home to back up the investigating officer. Upon arrival, it was determined that the persons in the house were family members and the suspiscions unfounded. A dual surprise birthday party was staged Saturday evening, January 20, for Larry Corkwell of Nashville and Dave Hawkins of Bivens Road, at the Hawkins residence. The event was engineered by their wives, Suzy Corkwell and Brenda Hawkins, with a great assist from parents: Bernard and Betty Garvey, and Ed and Nancy Johncock, all of Nash­ ville. Suzy and Brenda were able to talk the men into dinner at the Pizza Hut in Hastings, only to return to the Hawkins home to find it filled with 55 people waiting to greet the surprised birthday “boys.” Dave and Larry were left temporarily speechless, but regained their composure shortly and enjoyed a great evening with their family and friends. > Saturday evening seemed to be the night for surprise parties. Richard Chaffee, Sr. of Thornapple Lake Road was also honored, and taken'totally by surprise, when his brothers, sisters, and sons gathered at the home of son Richard, Jr. and his wife, Marilyn, of Nashville. Richard,Sr. was celebrating his 60th birthday and it was the first sur­ prise party he had ever had. Present for the occasion were his brothers: Clarence, Keith, Ed, and Harold, and their wives, all of Hastings: his sisters; Mrs. Mary McClurkin, and Mrs. Eleanor Merrick, both of Hastings, and Mrs. Ilah Norris and her husband, Lynden, of Delton:- his sons: Richard, of Nashville, Robert of Bellevue, Ronald of Hastings, all accompanied by their wives, and Russell of rural Nashville with friend, June Caldwell. Also present was a friend, Glen Roush of Nashville, for a total of 23 in at­ tendance at a lovely potluck dinner and very special bir­ thday celebration by the Chaffee family. First to respond to last week’s request for a photo of Nash­ ville’s legendary “Ma” Taylor was Mrs. Lloyd (Elizabeth) Wilcox. She was able to furnish a photo of Mrs. Taylor leading a white horse which reportedly belonged to Leslie Adams of Barryville Road. The Wilcoxes, who lived on South Main Street near the site of the old Taylor livery stable (it was across the street from them), were able to furnish detailed information regarding the property. Also responding to our plea for assistance was Mrs. Eda Elliston ofNashville, a niece of the late Flora “Ma” Taylor. All of the material gathered from these various sources will be used in compiling an upcoming “Memories” feature on “Ma” and Jim Taylor. Many thanks to all the readers who have been so very helpful with the necessary research for the “Memories” project. The Class of 1920, featured in last week’s “Memories” also brought several calls offering information on two of the four class members whose whereabouts were reported as unknown. Numerous individuals advised us that Ada Noyes is now Mrs. Gilbert Dickinson and that she lives in Tampa, Florida. And, class member Gaylen Cronk, who had resided PRE-SPRING SPECIAL HAYDEN TRANSMISSION COOLERS 20% OFF I | in Florida, passed away in March 1976, according to information received from his cousin, Mrs. Esther Satterlee of Vermontville. The “girl in the dark sailor dress” in the photo remains a mystery. Mrs. Otto (Bernice) Dahm reported that it was defintely not Thelma Dahlstrom (our tentative indentification). Mrs. Dahm said Thelma graduated in 1922 and they were good friends. However, she is now very curious to know who the still-unidentified young lady might be. ' i Clarence Higdon of Barryville called to report he believes that Vera Walton, one of the class members feature in “Memories” photo last week, is now in Ohio. Mrs. Sena French of Nashville had furnished information that Vera had become a nun but she did not know her present whereabouts. Higdon said the last he knew, Vera was teaching in an Ohio school, but he thinks by now she may be retired. He had visited with her several years ago when she was living in Battle Creek and teaching at a parochial school there. Visiting “Tip Up Town, USA” was a recent weekend adventure for Mr. and Mrs. George (Janet) Ward; their son, Quentin, and Cinda Murphy of Nashville. The Wards, traveling in their camper home, joined three other campers of friends there for a weekend of snowmobiling and sight­ seeing at the winter carnival. The event, held on the frozen surface of Houghton Lake, draws thousands of visitors annually This year, the? festivities were extended to cover two consecutive weekends. Sponsored by the Houghton Chamber of Commerce, the carnival features a multitude of concessions and activities, including snowmobile races and torch safaris, a hot air balloon ascension, sky diving, a parade, dance, coronation of a queen, and ice sculpturing contests. The Wards mailed souvenir cards to friends from a temporary post office set up on the lake to use the postmark “Tip Up Town, USA..’ The weather was pleasant, the Wards report, but the surface of the lake was slightly rough for snowmobiling due to a light thaw and refreezing. A nice letter was received last week from Mrs. Edna (De Riar) Hill, a Nashville native now of Grand Rapids and a faithful Maple Valley News reader. Mrs. Hill said she particulary enjoyed the recent story of the 1915 New Year’s Eve roller skating party at the old Opera House in Nashville, owned by John Furniss. Mrs. Hill wrote that her grand­ mother was married to John Furniss for four years prior to his death in 1910. Although Edna was only five years old at the time Furniss passed away, she said she did “remember him a little.” The Opera House was later owned by John’s son, Clair. An interesting clipping from a 1972 Maple Valley News issue accompanied Mrs. Hill’s letter. Reprinted in the newspaper at that time were engravings of the eight members of Nashville High School graduation Class of 1893. The work was originally published in an early edition of the Nashville News. Shown in individual drawings are graduates, Edward D. Smith, Myrtle Smith, Alyah 0. Bivens, Maude M. Hough, Fernie Lentz, Harry Dickinson, Eva Brumm, and Frank C. Lentz. Also featured was H.S.Andrus, School Superintendant. Little Lisa Corkwell, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Larry Corkwell of Nashville, fell in her classroom at Fuller Street Elementary School last Wednesday, injuring an elbow. She was taken to Pennock Hospital for x-rays but it was deter­ mined that nothing was broken. Muscles and tendons were pulled however, and Lisa must carry her arm in a sling temporarily. Two long, narrow wide-angle photos of the entire Nash­ ville High School student body in the years 1922 and 1923 belong to Mrs. Elizabeth (Ritchie) Wilcox of Nashville. Approximately 100 students, plus their instructors, appear in the framed pictures which measured three feet in length, but only seven inches high. Mrs. Wilcox, who is in both photos, recalls that they were told to sit perfectly-still for a few moments while the photographer swung his camera from left to right to obtain the picture. Taken in the spring, one of the photos has a particularly interesting background of the old school house, young maples, and surrounding homes. A fascinating footnote to the 1923 picture; a young c, no more than child, an three ree of o four our years old, o, iss seated seae at a front ron and center of the large group of high school students. The youngster, notably out of place with over 100 teenagers posed behind him, was wandering around the school yard, Mrs. Wilcox remembers, when the photographer asked him tto be in the picture. The photos were taken by T.F. Mack of Battle Creek. Incidentally, Mrs. Wilcox was able to name almost every student in each picture, including married as well as maiden names for the girls. Competition is the name of the game for Gerald Swin Swin-­ dlehurst of Nashville, who was recently declared “Checker Champion” at the Nashville Senior Citizens Nutrition Site. Swindlehurst will go on to complete with the checkers tournament winner of the Hastings COA Site, but in addition he is currently looking forward to an early February trip to Lowe City, Florida, where he will compete in a shuffleboard tournament. Swindlehurst plans to be in the St. Petersburg suburb for about a month.

David and Anetta Tredinnick and children of Hastings were Sunday dinner guests at the home of her parents, Mr. and Mrs. Clarence (Margaret) Reid of Nashville. Sunday afternoon callers at the Reid home were son Vernon, wife Joanne and children of Charlotte. Recent Tuesday visitors of the Clarence Reids were Margaret’s parents, the Vere Robinsons of Bellevue. Warren Burdick of Nashville returned home last week following gall bladder surgery at Blodgett Hospital in Grand Rapids. He is recovering very well. Little 5-year-old Takytha Potter of Hastings spent last week visiting her great-grandmother, Mrs. Elsie Ramsey of rural Nashville. A two-car collision on Sherman Street last Monday af­ ternoon resulted in very minor damage to the vehicle. A van attempting to back into a drive on Sherman did not see a vehicle approaching from the west. The right front of the van and the left front of the approaching vehicle sustained only slight damage. No injuries were reported in the mishap. The Nashville Baptist Church is looking forward to a special “Family Month” in February. Each Sunday will receive a designation to honor various family members. February 4th will be “In-Law Sunday”; the 11th, “Sweetheart Sunday”; the 18th, “Children's Sunday”; and the 25th “Grandparent’s Sunday.” In addition February will also see the Cathederal Quartet from Ohio performing at a 7 p.m. service on the 8th, and a “New Life Seminar” con­ ducted by Florida evangelist Wayne Swearingen for five consecutive nights, starting February 10th. The Riverside Recreational Development Corp, is busy planning a “Sweetheart Dance” to be held February 17th at the Fire Barn. A "sweetheart contest" is also scheduled to be held during the dance, as candidates are named and “penny votes” sought during the festivities. Proceeds will help develop a recreational park adjacent to the Thornapple River, west of the Main Street stores.

Founded in 1867 by Jacob Lentz, a French-born cabinetmaker, the table company grew from its simple origin as a small Main Street shop to become Nashville’s most prominent industry, employing well over 100 workmen at its peak, and bringing renown to the community both here and abroad. “Everyone in Nashville worked there,” a local senior citizen commented recently. “We didn’t have autos to drive out of town for jobs then.” By the 1920’s, women had also found employment at Lentz Table factory; most worked in the finishing room. The Lentz Company is credited with inspiring establishment of Nashville’s firstmunicipal water supply. An earlier Lentz factory had burned to the ground in 1891. Jacob had, by then, taken his three sons Albert, Charles, and Lewis - into partnership and the family agreed to rebuild if village fathers would guarantee an adequate water supply. The following year, in 1892, the “standpipe” was erected in Putnam Park to hold 100,000 gallons of Thornapple River Water. (Some forty years later, wells were driven to’ furnish municipal water that was also fit for drinking.) The first electrical power in Nashville is .reported to have been at the early Lentz plant where a single bulb, powered by the shop’s own generator, lighted the premises at night. Before the turn of the century, a “shilling per hour’ ’ (twelve-and-a-half cents) was reportedly being paid, by Lentz to some top Continued next column NOW BEER toa„dgo WINE Nashville C-Store A/i MARATHON 416 N.

And did you know we still have cases of Diphtheria, Whooping Cough, and Tetanus? These are not forgotten diseases. Rubella is still causing birth defects in newborn babies. And you probably are hearing this year of all the cases of measles around, even in high school. Why take the risk of your child - either infant or school age - having one of these diseases. Check their immunization record and see if it is up to date. Parents - don’t wait until your child is ready for school. Protect them early starting at 2 months with Diphtheria, Whooping Cough, and Tetanus. Three of these given 2 months apart with a reinforcing dose 1 year later, a booster at and Kindergarten age Diphtheria and Tetanus at 15 years. Oral Poltcf is given along with the D.P.T. Measles and Rubella is given after 15 months of age. Mumps is not required for school entrance but recommended. If they are missing any of these, please check with your Physician or Local Health Department soon. The Barry-Eaton District Health Department has an all day day immunization immunization clinic clinic all the 1st Wednesday of each month at 528 Beech Street in Charlotte from 9:00-11:00 a.m. and 1-3:30 p.m. Our next immunization clinic will be held February 7, 1979. A wee/c/y report from— Ernest Nash State Representative Undivided Attention-The House and Senate are again both in session this week; last week, the Senate considered its procedural rules while the House conducted two recounts. Although a few votes changed, the election results did not. Big Boost-The decision of the Republican National Committee to hold the 1980 GOP Convention in Detroit will provide a big stimulus to the economy in that city and in the state. Estimates of money that will come in range from $7 to $17 million. Snow Hotline-Many people don’t want to know about more snow, but if you’re one of Michigan’s thousands of ski enthusiasts, you’ll probably want to call the Michigan Travel Bureau’s toll free “snow hotline,” 800-292-2529, to check on snow elsewhere. License Plates-You have about four weeks left to buy your 1979 license plates by mail, by sending in the prepared application which you may have received in the mail. If you didn’t get one, of if you prefer to buy your plates in person, stop in soon at your local Secretary of State’s office. Be sure you take along your proof of no-fault insurace. Mistress Benefits-The state Supreme Court has narrowly affirmed workers’ compensation benefits for a woman who lived with a married man at the time of his work-related death, who has since moved in with another man. Chief Justice Mary Coleman dissented: “If a mistress can be legally designated a ‘widow’ or ‘wife’, the legal waves are seemingly endless.” Consumer Calendar-The Michigan Consumers Council has published its 1979 Consumer Calendar, which describes typical consumer problems, provides tips on how to avoid them and tells where to go for help. Write the Council at 414 Hollister Building, Lansing 48933. It’s free! Car Leases-The Attorney General has ruled that automobile leasing companies cannot refuse to lease vehicles to people merely because they are less ant 21 years old. Although earlier law allowed this, our 1976 civil rights law specifically outlaws discrimination based on age. Park Fee-If you’re planning to visit Michigan state parks this year, you should adjust your budget to allow for in­ creased park fees. As of January 5, daily park permit fees went up to $2. from $1., while the annual fee went up to $7.00 from $4.00 Savings Tips-The Financial Institutions Bureau has published “Taking Interest in Your Savings,” which describes different types of savings plans and things to consider in addition to interest rates.

The table company grew and prospered in its new location, adjacent to the Michigan (later New York) Central Railroad line. When Albert’s sons, Frank and Carl, joined the business it became a third-generation family operation. Following the retirement of Jacob’s grandsons in the late 1940’s , the factory finally closed. Plycoma Veneer Company sub­ sequently bought the property but discontinued operating a business there in the late 1960’s.

The January Intentions Report released by the Michigan Agricultural .Reporting Service, reflects growers mid-winter plans and offers growers a preview of what to expect in this crop year. Naturally, actual plantings may differ from current indications because of prices, market conditions, change of plans, and government programs existing at seeding time. Corn acreage intentions are set at a record 2,850,000 acres, up 7 percent from last year. Soybean plans call for 900,000 acres, 11 percent above the 1978 record.

Hazen Battle ' Creek Choralaires to present concert in Vermontville The Choralaires, 33 students from the Grand Rapids School of the Bible and Music, will present a musical concert at Vermontville Bible Church on February 4th at 11:00 a.m. The Grand Rapids School of the Bible and Music offers a concentrated education in the Bible. Music is also a major emphasis at the school, and over 100 of the 640 students are involved in a weekly musical ministry. Rev. John Miles, the school's founder and president, has stated, "The unique character of the Bible institute meets a burgeoning need in today's society. That need is to relate man to God in a positive manner as prescribed in the Holy Scriptures. Our school's lovely 20-acre campus provides excellent facilities for meaningful training." The music of the Choralaires is designed to fulfill that concept. Their director, Mr. David Traeger, has planned their repertoire to give a balanced program of hymns, gospel songs and spirituals that are conservative in arrangement but bright and pleasing in style. The public is cordially invited to attend. There is no admission charge.

The Senate and House Appropriations Committees bear the responsibility for determining how state tax dollars are to be allocated each fiscal year. Due to the heavy and time­ consuming workload which members of the Appropriations Committee must manage, Allen will no longer serve on the Senate Standing Committees on Education and Agriculture, Tourist Industry and Con­ sumer Affairs. He said he will continue to remain actively involved in legislation pertaining to his former committee assign- ments, however. Allen said he is looking forward to serving on the Senate Appropriations Committee, particularly in working to make the state’s School Aid formula more equitable. “Seats on the Ap­ propriations Committee are traditionally reserved for the Senate’s most most senior members,” Allen pointed out. “As a result of my previous experience on various other standing committees and in dealing with all of the 19 state departments over the past several years, I have learned a great deal about how state government and the Legislature operate. I’m enthusiastic now about having the opportunity to apply my knowledge to the appropriations process - and to learn more.” “I have some very definite opinions about budget areas that need changing and I intend to voice them,” Allen vowed. Allen recently cosponsored a successful amendment to the Senate rules requiring proposed Senate program budgets to be submitted to the Ap­ propriations Committee each year. - Mr. LaVerne C.

The census will continue to monitor trends in domestic ownership and control of land. The last census taken in 1974 showed a five-year gain in the number of U.S. corporate farms from 22,000 to 29,000. Land operated by corporations increased from 80 to 97 million acres, and the value of farm products rose from $6 billion to $14 billion. A special corporate survey based on the census showed that most of the corporations were family owned and operated. Are You Required to com­ plete and return this Report Form?

And don’t-whatever you dosuggest in any way that his partial loss of one leg makes him less tough as a wrestler. He’ll slip a slick' knock­ down move on your un­ convinced and unconditioned body so fast you’ll wonder how Christopher Reeve ever got that new Superman movie role over this tough 98- pounder from Maple Valley High School. Ray, the son of Mr. and Mrs. Ray Barlond, Sr., is a special kid. He’s special to his family, naturally, but he’s special to his teachers and the kids who know him as a sophomore at Maple Valley, too. What makes him special isn’t so much his guts-any athlete that has to fight his body merely to live a normal When you want results.. .. . give our classified department a call!

Maple Valley News Phone 945-9554 life would have to have them. But it’s how he handles all that toughness It’s hidden behind a shy smile and a quiet voice that belies the fierce determination learned early and never lost. Ray’s life goals were soon established when, at the age of five, a tractor accident severed his left leg just below the knee. He may eveli have been too young then to realize that walking, run­ ning, jumping, and even­ tually wrestling were going to be harder for him to learn than for most of his peers­ even with an artificial leg, or prosthesis. He never even gave it a thought. But there were limitations for this youngest of four children,. there was self­ consciousness-most of it imposed by others. “How do you run? Does it hurt? How did it happen? Aren’t you scared?” Ray has heard them all. But the curiosity-seekers don’t bother the slender 15year-old anymore because his campaign to show the world that he can run almost as fast as the best in his class, play a mean game of baseball, and even carry a 140 bowling league average at Charlotte’s Char Lanes has convinced everybody. The wrestling crowd at Maple Valley is certainly convinced. Ray is undefeated through seven varsity dual meets and flashes an 11-3 overall record which includes a 2nd place finish in the Maple Valley Invitational. Lion Wrestling Coach Chris Ricketts con­ cedes that his 98-pounder is the “crowd favorite.” “Ray is a sentimental favorite here, he gets a lot of crowd support, even from his opponents. They find out in a hurry that once Ray gets on the mat he can wrestle and has ability.” Ricketts Scoffs at any suggestion that sentiment played a part in Barlond’s selection to the Lion team. “Hey, he’s our 98-pounder. He had to challenge- wrestle two' team members to get there and he’s just coming into his own on the wrestling mat.” So impressed are others with Barlond’s ability that after one recent invitational wrestling match in which Ray lost, the father of his opponent phoned Ray to express his appreciation for the Maple Valley youngster’s ability and drive. Barlond not only has learned to work around his handicap but has even found ways to use it to his ad­ vantage. “Without the leg my op­ ponents have less to grab on to and work with,” explains the sly tactician of the wrestling art. The prosthesis could probably give me more leverage but it’s just easier to wrestle without it.” Michigan High School Athletic Association rules state that wrestlers with articial limbs may use them in competition-a reversal from recent stands on the issue taken by the MHSSA. Barlond does find his prosthesis a necessity for most every other activity and, of course, the running essential for wrestling fit­ ness. However, he likes the slip-slidin’ away from op­ ponents- afforded without artificial help. Barlond’s wrestling success has been a long time in coming-in fact, it nearly didn’t come at all. Only through a most unique situation at Maple Valley and the persistent concern of Ray’s teachers has the young man been able to light the fire which burns so in­ tensely today. Almost unbelievably, Barlond is the third athlete at Maple Valley in recent years to be handicapped by the loss of a leg. Rdy, being at the end of that chain, probably benefited the most because as a junior high youngster he saw positive examples of overcoming handicaps. “Ray got interested in wrestling during junior high school,” relates Ricketts, “when he saw Brian Wendorf wrestle. Brian also lost a leg but overcame it well m enough to win 20 matches for us in his senior year at Maple Valley two years ago. “Ray’s teachers were also helpful in encouraging him to go out, especially Dan Watson who worked with him a lot.” The investment of concern has paid rich dividends for a youth who has not only overcome a handicap through wrestling but conquered the fears and doubts which plague many people in similar situations. “Wrestling has been good for Ray,” continues a proud Coach Ricketts. “It’s been a positive thing too, I think, from the standpoint of anyone who does come into our school as a handicapped person sees other people getting out and overcoming disability.” Ditto Mr. Barlond. “Wrestling is jny favorite sport because you have to go out there and do things by yourself,’’speaks the mature young man. “You don’t have to worry about your team. Well, you do worry about the team doing good but when it’s you out there it all comes down to individual effort.” Ray is particularly looking forward to tonight's scheduled match at Lakeview where he will test individual effort against last year’s state finals cham­ pionship runnerup wrestler, Terry McKenna. It will be the stiffest competition Barlond will have seen thus far this year. To just complete an opening handshake with an opponent of . McKenna’s ability will be a triumph for Ray. It will be his signal to the world that he has arrived, he has proved that he rates with the best. Trouble is, that's not enough. He plans on winning. a n k PERMANENT > QUESTIONS?

Last year’s syrup season was delayed until mid­ March because of inclement weather. At its recent annual meeting, Harold Christiansen was! re-elected president of the NSA, a post he has held for 12 years. The syrup association has been active since it was formed in 1942, with the exception of one year, Christiansen notes. Syrup making is a com­ munity project in Nashville under the guidance of the a NSA, volunteer organization. Profits from the syrup production are spilt among the participating organizations according to the hours of labor con­ tributed on behalf of each group. Disbursements from the 1978 production were: Nash­ ville Fire Department, $937.48; Boy Scouts, $680.84; Girl Scouts, $95.00; Nashville Explorers, $86.30; Little League Baseball, $114.00; United Methodist.

Nashville ambulance elects officers SUSAN Hinckley Members of the new Nash­ ville ambulance system held an organizational meeting at the fire barn last Monday night and elected officers for the year. : Selected as President was John Joseph; as Vice­ President, Pat Lingholm; and as Secretary, John Mason. The membership, which is comprised of all ambulance personnel and Emergency Medical Technician at­ tendants, also approved having the newly-elected officers form a committee to draw up operational guidelines for the ambulance department. The Nashville ambulance, more correctly known as the Castleton-Maple GroveNashville ambulance, is now being operated as a separate entity, apart from the Nash­ ville Fire Department Several Nashville firemen, however, are still active in both the ambulance system and the fire department, responding to both types of calls. The Nashville ambulance system though, has recently added six new attendants who are not connected with the local fire department, and who respond only to calls from the ambulance. All certified Emergency Medical Technicians, they are: Pat Lingholm; James Cooley; Douglas Aspinall; Bernard Hoffman; Tony Frith; and Williams East­ man, all of Nashville. EMT attendants who also serve as Nashville firefighters are: John Joseph; Lee Christopher; John Mason; and Gale Wetzel.

(Maple Valley News Photo) Vermontville's Opera House is getting an early spring cleaning By Elaine Gilbert The picturesque Ver­ montville Opera House in the heart of the village will be receiving some special at­ tention this month in a threephase clean-up project being undertaken by three local organizations. The Opera House, registered by fhe state as a historic site, was once the hub of social gatherings at the turn of the century. Today, Vermontville residents still use the building as a library and for township meetings, elec­ tions, and an occasional play but, many want to see more activities staged there and are willing to help get the building in shape for more extensive use. That’s what the clean-up projects in February are all about.

Faith's aunt, Vicki Phares of Barryville Rd., Nashville, discovered the unique vegetable in a bushel of potatoes recently. The unusual potato was grown by Vicki's grandfather, Cleaton Cantrell of Marshall, who has a large garden and gives the Phares several bushels of his produce every year. Vicki said it was quite a surprise to the family to discover the heart-shaped spud and a coincidence to be just in time for Valentine's Day at that. Members of Vermontville's Historical Society stand on the steps of the village's picturesque Opera House which played an important community role in the past and still promises to be a focal point for increased activities in the future. �The Maple Valley News, Nashville, Wednesday, February?, 1979 — Page 2 Nashville News By Mrs. Ray Hinckley Losses continued to mount at the Dave Murphy farm on East Street following a recent cave-in of a snow burdened barn roof. The January 21st collapse killed a two-month-old heifer and left a full grown steer in such a state of shock that it had to be destroyed. Last week, a third animal that had 'been down since the mishap, had to be destroyed. Although the beef cow had suffered no apparently serious injuries other than shock, she would not stand. When she began losing weight rapidly, despite taking nourishment, it was decided to destroy her. Ready to freshen in three weeks, an attempt was made to save her calf by Cesearean section. However, the tiny animal survived only about five minutes after delivery, although it was apparently unharmed by the tragedy. The Golden Agers of the Nashville United Methodist Church will meet Friday, February 9th, for a noon potluck dinner at the church community house. Dr. Kenneth Vaught, pastor of Hope United Methodist Church in Hastings, delivered the morning message at the Nashville United Methodist Church worship service Sunday. The new Nashville ambulance system, now being operated as a separate entity apart from the Nashville Fire Department, held an organizational meeting last Monday and elected officers for the year. Complete details on the new system appear in a report appearing elsewhere in this issue of the Maple Valley News. Nashville firefighters were called to the David Friddle farm on Cloverdale Road, south of Nashville, shortly after noon last Wednesday to extinquish a reported barn fire. A lean-to adjacent to a small pole barn had caught fire from a heat lamp in the structure which housed a sow and seven piglets. Three of the little ones were lost in the mishap, but the other four and the sow were rescued. Although the leanto was a total loss, Friddle said he is very thankful his pole barn was saved. It sustained some fire damage. The Nash­ ville Fire Department was assisted with traffic control at the scene by Nashville Police and the Eaton County Sheriff’s Department. Herald Hansen of Devine Road underwent extensive open heart surgery at Blodgett Hospital in Grand Rapids last Tuesday. At this writing he is still in the intensive care unit there but is making very good progress, his wife reports. Although it is not known at this time how much longer he must remain hospitalized, Mrs. Hansen expects it will be about ten days. We wish him a very speedy recovery. Mrs. George (Pat) Vogt of Nashville, who suffered a broken hip in a pre-Christmas fall at her home, is now at the Barry County Medical Care Facility for therapy and recuperation following surgery and several weeks of confinement at Pennock Hospital. Pat gets around with a walker but will riot be allowed to put weight on her leg until six weeks after surgery when the bone mending should be complete. A letter was received last week from Ada Noyes Dickinson, a member of Nashville’s Class of 1920 which was recently featured in our “Memories of the Past” story. Ada is married to Gilbert Dickinson and they have lived in Tampa, Florida, for the past 27 years. She and her husband celebrated their 58th wedding anniversary last October, she reports. The mystery of the “girl in the dark sailor dress” in the Class of 1920 picture was also cleared up by Mrs. Noyes’ letter. Several local residents have been trying to identify her after we established it was not Thelma Dahlstrom (our tentative identification). “The girl in the dark sailor dress is not Thelma Dahlstorm, but Edna Peterson,” writes Mrs. Noyes, “and I think her parents lived on a farm south of Nashville.” Additional information about classmate Vera Walton was also supplied by Mrs. Noyes. We have also received several local calls about Vera—one from her first-cousin-onceremoved, Nellie Moon of Nashville. Mrs. Noyes’ letter confirmed the local reports that Vera, a nun, is at Notre Dame in South Bend, Indiana. She is know as Sister Dolorilda and works as a nurse in the students’ infirmary. Mrs. Moon said her cousin pays a visit to Battle Creek usually once a year and often stops in Nashville, oc- casionally at Harvest Festival time, to call on Nellie and her sister, Dorothy Edmonds. Many thanks to Mrs. Noyes for writing and for all the helpful phone calls offering in­ formation on the Class of 1920. A 90-year old former Nashville resident, now of Lakeland, Florida, also wrote us about the Class of 1920 photo. She is Mrs. Lucy R. Fuller, an older sister of class member Gaylen Cronk. He passed away at Lakeland in March 1976 and was the last member of her immediate family, she wrote. Mrs. Fuller celebrated her 90th birthday last September 20th, and enjoys a weekly subscription to the Maple Valley News. The OttTrio, gospel singers from Lansing, will perform at the Nashville Assembly of God Church at 7 p.m. Sunday, February 11th. The community is invited to attend this in­ spirational event. The Nashville Chamber of Commerce will meet next Wednesday evening, February 14th, for a 7:00 p.m. dinner and business meeting at the Steakhouse Restaurant.

Petie Latta of Nashville returned home last Monday from a 5-week vacation in California, visiting her daughter and family, Susan and Gordon Gutchess and children, at Coronoa. It was a special treat for Petie to spend Christmas with the Gutchess family and watch granddaughters Jen­ nifer and Ashley open their gifts. After the New Year, Petie and the Gutchess family enjoyed a 5-day trip to northern California to visit her son, John, and his wife, Marty, at Chico. John took them on a tour of the California State University campus, where he is a student, and they enjoyed . a picnic lunch on the banks of Chico Creek. While there they toured the 1867 Bidwell Mansion, guided by a blind girl who knew every inch of the house and. its’ fascinating history. Other highlights of the trip were visiting the Hearst Castle at San Simeon; Big Sur Mountain; Sequoia National Park; Fishdrman’s Wharf in San Francisco-and riding cable cars there. One weekend they enjoyed seeing two gray whales and a school of pilot whales on a “whale watch” cruise in the Pacific. The boat observes the winter migration of the gray whales to southern waters. Although California has had a cooler winter than usual, Petie was happy to escape our recent ice and snow storms.

Picking fresh oranges from a tree and cotton from a field in Arizona was a special treat for Mrs. Gloria Johncock of Nashville who returned home last Wednesday from a 3-week trip which also included a visit to Colorado Springs, Colorado. Gloria flew out of Grand Rapids during an earlyJanuary blizzard but found no snow on her arrival in Den­ ver. The weather was “changable” in Colorado Springs where she visited her daughter, Sheryl West, and grand­ children, Scott and Julie.

The Lions gave Middleville a 12 point advantage before they were able to score and trailed 8-12 by the end of the first quarter. The rest of the contest was spent trying to catch the high flying Trojans who now stand 10-5 for the season. Valley was able to come within 7 points in the third and fourth quarters but were unable to threaten beyond that. Andy Joostberns led all scores with 16 points. Don Fox added 10 points and Ken Hansbarger 8. Friday’s league contest became a duel of free throw shooting as Vestaburg bested their hosts 75-65 hitting 27 of 33 from the freethrow line. The Lions led 29-27 at the half and had as much as a 7 point lead in the third quarter. Turnovers by the Lions allowed the Vestaburg squad to take the lead for good with 2:14 to go in the 3rd quarter. During the fourth quarter. Cont. page 6 NOTICE TO...

Recently-passed state regulations require one certified EMT on each ambulance run in 1979; and two EMT’s must be on board in 1980, according to the new law. “Extra help is desperately needed in the ambulance system,” reports John Mason, Secretary of the organization. Additional trainees are being sought for daytime and evening classes which will start in a few weeks, he said. “The required training for bpth firefighters and am­ bulance personnel is now so intense it is difficult for one man to find time to complete courses for both positions,” Mason explained. The training for an EMP cer­ tification requires 120 hours of class time, he explained. Mason said any individuals interested in joining the ambulance system could contact him or any member of the group for details on the upcoming schooling. The newly-formed Nash­ ville ambulance organization will hold regular meetings the last Monday of every month.

Letter to the Editor: I did not at any time at any police committee meeting ask Chief Kendal Wilcox to step down or to resign from his position as Nashville Chief of Police. At this meeting, not a closed meeting, called to review upcoming budget and to discuss scheduling with Chairman Morris Purchis, Forrest Babcock, Sharon Green, President Harold Christiansen and Chief Kendal Wilcox. Also, we went over what we felt were the Chief’s weak areas as an administrator and asked him to become more efficient in these areas. I did state at a council meeting, when Chief Wilcox made his public accusation against me, that in my personal opinion, he is a poor administrator, etc. The work schedule, is not intended to put Chief Wilcox in the status of a patrolman. This schedule is the fairest of all schedules for our three man department giving all equal on and off duty time. Chief Wilcox will not work two consecutive weeks of nights. In a 21 day work schedule, he will work six nights but they’re not more than three nights in a row without time off. The other officers have not complained to the committee about the present schedule, but the committee feels that the new work schedule will give all our officers an equal amount of off duty days and nights to be with their families. Sharon Green, Forrest Babcock, Harold Christiansen To the Editor: After reading the article about Nashvilles Police Chief, there are a few questions I feel are unan­ swered.

One thing puzzles me, how are we, the citizens, supposed to get out to the streets and roads when our driveways are plugged. We go out after it has snowed and shovel our walks and drives. Then maybe a few house later we may decide to go to the store or some other place. We then proceed to go out to our car, we look at our drive and it has been plugged with snow from the street. As you probably already have noticed this snow from the street is quite heavy and something else to shovel. And also, where are we supposed to put it? Pile it so high we can’t see over it or around it?Or are we sup­ posed to push it back into the street, just to have it pushed right back into our drives again? No, because if we pile it we won’t be able to see if any cars are coming or the cars coming from either direction won’t be able to see us backing out. Either in­ stance can cause a serious accident. Another serious accident can happen. A person can have a heart attack. Because of the heaviness, much more stress is put on the heart. Thus increasing the risk, especially if you’re an older person or a person with heart trouble, past or present. I am quite familar with this problem, for I have spent many an hour with my parents shoveling snow. I know this is a problem most everyone is facing. I can’t say I have the answer to the problem. But I know there has to be a solution. Something must be done.

THE HECKER AGENCY VERMONTVILLE VILLAGE COUNCIL MEETINGS afar the questions: Why after 10 years of service to the village and residents should Chief Wilcox be subject to the harassment he is getting from the council and police committee? Why doesn’t the police cief have chief the same authority as other village dept. heads, to do scheduling, etc. How can a man do a good job when he knows he will not be backed by the police committee and the council? Why should the police chief step down from his position if there are no complaints from the citizens of Nashville? Why should personal grudges be brought to the council and police com­ mittee meetings? Why should a man with 10 years seniority have to work 2 weeks of nights out of 3 weeks? What is seniority? Why is there a lack of communication between the officers and the police chief? How can a man administer to everyones liking when he doesn’t have backing from village government? As a business owner in the Village of Nashville we have never had any complaints as to the service we have received from any of our police force. It’s a shame peace and harmony cannot reign in this department. Free estimates, 20 years ex­ perience. RUSS BENNETT PH. 726-0324 Vermontville, Michigan H&R BLOCK THE INCOME TAX PEOPLE 303 S.

The January 1 Grain Stocks Report for Michigan shows increases for corn and soybean stocks while wheat shows a substantial decline, according to the Michigan Agricultural Reporting Service. Corn stored in all positions is estimated at 155,777,000 bushels, 11 percent above last January. Most of this increase comes from a big jump in corn stored on the farm. Total soybean stocks jumped 48 percent, while offfarm stocks are up 24 per­ cent. Oat and rye stocks are up 28 and 48 percent, respectively. Wheat and barley stocks in Michigan recorded declines from a year ago. Total wheat stocks of 13,859,Q00 are down 47 percent. On-farm stocks are down 69 percent and off-farm stocks are down 39 percent. This is to be expected, coming on the heels of a poor production year. Barley stocks dropped 35 percent to 437,000 bushels. Nationally, corn in all storage positions is up 13 percent at 6.2 billion bushels. Soybean stocks are up 4 percent to 1.4 billion bushels. Wheat stocks, at 1.63 bushels, are down 18 percent from last January.

A weekly Report from; Senator Richard Allen State Senator Dick Allen today reacted with concern and dismay at an Attorney General ruling which nullified the state’s PBB exemption program. Allen, a Republican from Ithaca, authored the original language in the PBB bill to provide for an exemption procedure. That language was later incorporated into a resolution to exempt dairy herds from the state’s PBB testing program after 15 percent of the animals have been tested and found free of PBB. Attorney General Frank Kelley ruled yesterday, however, that such exemptions must be set by law, rather than resolution. '“While I recognize that Mr. Kelley, as an attorney, may be right in his in­ terpretation, I, as a farmer and veterinarian, believe the effect of his ruling is wrong, ” Allen asserted. “It appears clear to me that this ruling will require the Agriculture Department to start from scratch and retest all dairy herds,” he continued. “Retesting would be unfair to farmers, cruel to the animals, expensive for taxpayers, and totally un­ productive in terms of detecting new PBB problems. It would simply not be in the best interests of the state to have to start up this costly program on a statewide basis all over again, particularly since we have finally arrived at a point where we have such control that we believe PBB no longer presents a health hazard.” More than two-thirds of Michigan’s dairy herds have already been exempted from the PBB testing program. As soon as he learned of the PBB ruling, Allen requested priority legislation to reinstate the exemption program. His measure will allow previous exemptions to ^remain in effect and incorporate the 15 percent exemption provision in law. He expects to in­ troduce the bill within a week. Phone 945-9554 for ACTION!

Wednesday, February 7» 1979 — Page 9 Nashville to form “Friends of the Library hkk kls? KSLs SLs K< r> * J*>&< J>&< Jerry and Janice Johnson have agreed to act as tem­ porary chairpersons for a fledgling “Friends of the Library*’ group being formed in Nashville. A small number of in­ terested persons attended an informal idea session at Putnam Public Library last Tuesday morning as a first step i in getting the organization off the ground. No formal guidelines were adopted Tuesday although many challenging projects were discussed, including implementing a year-’round story hour for children; acquiring a 16 mm movie projector for films which are available to the local library through the Woodlands Cooperative’ and formation of a youth branch of the FOL. “We have an outstanding library for a village off our size,” commented Johnson. Putnam Library could be used as a cultural center for dramatics and folklore, as well as for traditional library services, he said. Future meetings of the “Friends of the Library” may be alternated between morning and evening sessions for the convenience of persons who are interested in the program but have jobs or other committments which would conflict with a per­ manent meeting time. Johnson and LaDuska Sheldon, Putnam librarian, encourage widespread community support of the new group. “Those who have an in­ terest in the library but are unable to attend regular meetings are still en- couraged to participate by supporting various projects that will be undertaken by the Friends group,” said Mrs. Sheldon. Similar groups have aided local libraries throughout Michigan with a variety of programs ranging from assisting the library staff with reading programs to cleaning the premises, she explains. Many of the groups have become involved in fund­ raising Events to benefit their libraries. Sample bylaws for the organization have been furnished to Mrs. Sheldon by the Michigan Department of Education State Library Services. The next meeting of the local “Friends of the Library” has been set for 7:00 p.m. Monday, February 12th, at the library. In­ dividuals with small children may bring them along to enjoy a story hour that will be conducted while the meeting is in progress.

Ernest Nash State Representative PBB Exemptions-The Attorney General has ruled that the 1977 law setting up a state PBB testing program un­ constitutionally included a provision for exemptions by legislative resolution. The law stays, but no more exemp­ tions will be allowed. Ticket Speed-Another Attorney General’s riding says that when police write traffic tickets for driving “too fast for conditions,” they must specify a safe and prudent speed. Writing the general phrase does not meet present legal requirements. State Tests?-The state Superintendent of Public In­ struction has urged a uniform statewide test for all 10thgraders to help determine educational progress. Recent tests have shown that students’ math and reading abilities are" getting better. Budget In-Governor Milliken has submitted his 1979-80 budget recommendations to the legislature. The proposed budget is about $344 million, or 8 percent, over current general-fund expenditure levels. The largest dollar increase is in social services, with a 5 percent increase for ADC recipients, but the largest percentage increase (42 percent) is for judicial programs. •' Heating Credit-Now that it’s income tax time, be sure you don’t overlook the line on your return that provides for a Home Heating Credit. The state treasury department estimates that 10 to 12 percent of those who are eligible for this credit are not applying for it. 5 Percent Solution?-One of the most controversial sections of the new budget is expected to be that which proposes cutting a scheduled 7 percent increase for civil service employees down to 5 percent. Governor Milliken says this will save several million dollars; however, the 7 percent increase already falls within President Carter’s anti­ inflation guidelines. Interview Tips-The Civil Service Department has developed a Selection Interview Guide which points out essentials in conducting its job interviews; this could be useful for private employers as well. Write the Department at P.O. Box 30001, Lansing, Mi. 48909.

Todd is holding an antique trunk. plan to meet at the Opera House and haul the heavy unwanted items to the dump. The Vermontville Girl Scouts, under -the supervision of their leaders, will arm themselves with cleaning supplies on February 24 and wash windows, clean the wood­ work with special oil, and sweep the floor at the Opera House. Vermontville Township Clerk Bobbi Hoefler points out that the project is an excellant example of community interest and pride in the building. She notes that the township had been thinking that it shouldn’t allow the building to be used for activities by organizations until a com­ plete cleaning could be undertaken. But with the enthusiastic volunteer spirit of the organizations, the cleaning will be ac­ complished and the groups will be able to use the Opera House for upcoming events.

From left are Bobbi Hoefler, Fred Frith, Dorothy Carpenter, Hildred Peabody, Robert Todd, Martha Zemke, and Ruth Shepard. The oil painted canvas curtain can be seen in the background. Brownies want to have a rummage sale there to raise funds to help send pix scouts on a trip to Mexico. The local historical society and others are interested in preserving the heritage of the Opera House more ex­ tensively than clean-up projects, but a rennovation of the building’s interior probably will depend on whether a federal grant can be obtained. Hildred Peabody, a historical society member, said, “The building should be used more, but it needs to have more work done soon. Twice, attempts have been made to apply for a mat­ ching funds grant that would allow for needed rennovation, but both trys have been futile. However, Mrs. Hoefler said everyone is hopeful that the grant will become a reality in the future and an application will be filed again. Several members of the historical society noted Saturday that the stage needs a new floor, interior doors need work, and that an addition of a sink would complement many ac­ tivities. Also the paint on the walls and ceiling of the auditorium is chipped and peeling in many places. The Opera House holds a wealth of heritage of early Vermontville life. The text on the historial marker, dedicated last April, in­ dicates part of its proud history: PersonnalMr. and Mrs. Ralph Burnworth entertained Mr. and Mrs. John Pomeroy on their 26th anniversary. A lovely dinner or roast duck and lobster tails was served. The evening was spent playing cgrds. Tammy Burnworth assisted, refresh­ ments were served by Curly which is his specialty. Guest attending, too numerous to mention, had an enjoyable evening. Graffiti from 1917 is "part of Americana" that can be found back stage at the Vermontville Opera House, says Dorothy Carpenter. Actually, the "writings" in the wings are signatures of "all the kids who were in plays over the years" at the opera house. Bobbi Hoefler points to the signatures from local "actresses and actors" written in 1917. “L. Vern Slout and his players, one of Michigan’s oldest tent companies, gave first and last performances in this opera hall...” The two-story red brick building also was the scene long ago of stock shows and medicine shows. In the ’50’s, free movies were shown, and exhibits staged as well as other community activities. According to newspaper "accounts that historical society members have clipped for a scrapbook, the original opera house structure was destroyed in a fire about 1896. The present building was completed in 1898 with the village funding the first story and the township the second level.

February14, 1979 Nashville Council votes 3-2 to deny granting scheduling authority to police chief The Nashville Village Council voted 3-2 last Thursday to deny returning scheduling authority to Police Chief Kendal Wilcox. The council’s decision means that a new schedule, adopted by the council last spring and then dropped, will be implemented. It calls for all three members of the police department (including the chief) to rotate by working one week of day shifts, followed by two weeks of basically night shifts. Equal time off for each man is provided in the three-week period. Under the previous schedule, Chief Wilcox primarily worked the day. shift. Audience input at the meeting failed to influence the council’s decision in the matter. By a 35-3 show-ofhands vote the audience favored keeping Wilcox on a day shift instead of having the phief work night shifts equal with his officers. “Most of the people here and most others I’ve talked to just can’t understand why the Chief of Police has to be put on nights,” said Coun­ cilman Ted Spoelstra who introduced the motion to return scheduling authority to the chief. Only Spoelstra and Vermontville Historical Society plans ‘sugaring-off ” party— Following its 7 o’clock Maple Valley Drama Class, carry-in supper on Thursday under the direction of Mrs. evening, February 22, Dorothy Carpenter, will members and friends will present an original skit share in the fun of the annual based upon an incident that Sugarjng-Off Party.

Councilwoman Helen Curtis voted in favor of retaining the present schedule under which Wilcox works mostly, days. Councilwoman Sharon Green, said the new schedule would give the chief an opportunity to know the problems of the night shift and would give the night officers a chance to learn the elements of a day shift. “I agree, if it’s possible at all, the chief should work days," said Officer Gene Koetje who was at the meeting. He said it made no difference to him whether he worked days or nights blit he preferred the new schedule because it allowed him a 3­ day weekend every three weeks, instead of every six weeks as under the present schedule. The controversy- on controversy whether to return scheduling authority to the police'chief began two weeks ago when Wilcox charged at a council meeting that Green had asked at a committee meeting that he step down as. head of the 3-man force, a post he. has held for ten year’s. At-that time, Wilcox also conteded .the new schedule relegates him to the status of a patrolman. Thursday, Green denied' Janice Siple named 79 Syrup Queen Janice Siple (CENTER) daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Robert Siple, Rt. 1, Vermontville, was named the 1979 Vermontville Maple Syrup Festival Queen at festivities held in the basement of the Congregational Church, Monday evening. She will reign over the 1979 Maple Syrup Festival in April. Members of her court, chosen at the ceremonies held in conjunction with the Vermontville Lions Club monthly meeting, were (clockwise, from top right) Brenda Fisher, Cheryl McClure, Lori Balzer, selected as alternate for the queen, Barbara Harris and Sandra Hulbert. Judges for this year’s selection were Janet Rushford of Nashville, David Wayne of WCER in Charlotte, Helen Clegg, Gordon Sparks of the Charlotte Shopping Guide and Hugh Fullerton of the Hastings Banner. All of the girls are juniors at Maple Valley High School. If the winnijer decides to continue her education she will be eligible for a scholarship ofteij high school graduation. M.V. Newt Photo by Mark Thomas ever making such a request but reiterated an earlier stand that in her personal opinion, Wilcox was a poor administrator. Forrest’ Babcock and Harold Christiansen also denied, at the council meeting, that Mrs. Green had asked Wilcox to step down during a recent police committee meeting which both men had attended. “As far as I’m concerned, our police department is stagnant; we’re not going a ny w here--there’s no growth, no development,” Green said. "We need leadership and direction," she added. She spoke of new training programs and better communications between the chief and his officers. "When you have a leader, he’s got to be allowed to lead, " countered Spoelstra. He Contended that the council had hot hacked Wilcox in administrative decisions in the past, but said he did not want to elaborate on the subject by naming individuals. . "Until you allow this man to do his job and back him up when he does it, you’re going to have problem* until whoknows-when," Spoelstra told the council. When asked by some audience members to cite cases where she felt Wilcox was not properly handling his responsibilities, Green said Wilcox had failed to follow up on issuance of parking violation tickets by the department, which she claimed represented a loss of revenue for the village. She offered no documentation to substatiate this charge against Wilcox. “One thing I’ve learned, you should never appoint a hometown boy for the duties he’s got,” said President Harold Christiansen of Wilcox. According to Nash­ ville’s charter, the president must reappoint the chief each year for him to retain his position, a preocedure that is usually done in April. "Kendal was raised here; he’s a hometown boy, and a lot of people here tonite are his buddies,’.’ Christiansen charged. “A stranger would be less biased," continued Christiansen. In other business, Village Attorney David Dimmers advised the council to limit all future committee meetings to attendance by only three council members in order to assure compliance with Michigan’s Meetings Open and Freedom of Information Act which became effective in 1977. Council committees Valentines from the past Valentines from the past are part of Susan Hinckley's collection of postcard greeting cards which all date prior to 1915. Mrs. Hinckley has been collecting the unique antique cards for about 10 years and has them displayed in an album. The other interesting Valentines shown in the foreground of the photo are from the 1930's. One has moveable parts (a winking eye), and the other a hat which opens in accordian-style to add a three dimensional effect to the cbrd. Mrs. Hinckley related that the custom of exchanging Valentines is older than the exchange of Christmas cards. Hand-made Valentines were being exchanged in the. early 1700's and the commercial variety made its debut in the late 1840's. Mrs. Hinckley's antique postcard collection includes cards to commemorate almost every occasion including Halloween, Easter, St. Patrick's Day, birthdays, birth announcements, friendship, and weddings. Susan Hinckley of Nashville displays one of the unique antique postcard Valentines in her collection. This card is particularly special because it includes a miniature envelope on the front with tiny stationery scaled to fit inside. The stationery actually contains a hand-written message andis dated 1907.

Meetings Act, it can be in­ terpreted wrong," Dimmers said of quorum meetings. He explained that Nashville's committees are only "recommending committees" designed to bring proposals to the council for action. Dimmers said that if a committee of three, plus one, determined at a committee meeting that they were going to make a recommendation to the council, knowing that all four would vote in a certain way, it could create “headaches’* for the council and village.

Page 9— �The Maple Valley News, Nashville, Wednesday, February 14, 1979 — Page 2 Nashville News History will be made in Nashville next Monday when, for the first time, a village election will be held at the new Castleton Township Hall on South Main. The February 19th primary, to select candidates for four seats opening on Nashville’s village council in the spring, was moved to the more spacious township quarters to avoid increasingly cramped conditions at the village hall. However, though the township’s facilities will be used for Monday’s election, their voting machines will not. Traditional paper ballots will prevail. But the village anticipates progressing to machine voting in the near future, according to Village Clerk Suzy Corkwell. Arrangements between Castleton Township and the Village of Nashville for dual use of the township’s hall were made early last fall. Regular village meetings have been conducted at the township hall since September 14th, but Monday will mark the first use of the new quarters for a village election.

Excuse our error: the “girl in the dark sailor dress”, Class of 1920, was Elna (not Edna) Peterson. Mrs. Ada (Noyes) Dickinson of Tampa, Florida, had written to identify the mystery girl, we reported last week. They were classmates. Mrs: Dickinson thought the Peterson family had lived on a farm south of Nashville, she added. Susequent to Ada’s letter, Mrs. Elizabeth (Richie) Wilcox of Nashville phoned to say the old Peterson home was located on Bivens Road, a little more than a mile east of Clark Rd. Elizabeth had attended Mason School with the Peterson children, including a set of brother-sister twins. The family was Swedish but the youngsters all spoke English quite fluently, Elizabeth recalls. All members in the class photo, taken at Nashville High School in 1917, have now been identified. And the whereabouts of all but three-Elna Peterson, Paul Gardner, and Donna Francis-are known.

The Nashville Fire Department responded to a call of a reported house fire at Barryville Friday evening, February 2nd. The resident of the home spotted flames above the exhaust hood in the kitchen. He began throwing water on the fire and when the firefighters entered the house, the flames were nearly out. Some minor smoke damage was done to the residence. The Nashville firemen stayed on the scene to defer the house of smoke and check the premises and attic area for further flames. None were found. Julia (Lathrop) Bertsch, featured in last week’s “Memories of the Past” as a member of the Class of 1920 was married to a San Diego police officer, George B. Dean of Nashville reports.

The “in-law” honored for traveling the farthest distance was Mrs. Mary Henry, who traveled 102 miles to attend the service with her son, Tink Henry, of Olivet. Children will be honored during the February 18th “Children’s Sunday” service at the Nashville Baptist Church. A special award will go to the largest family in attendance at the service.

An auto belonging to Julie Ellen Sheldon of Curtis Road disappeared briefly last week after she became stuck in the snow near the intersection of Curtis and Cloverdale Road and walked home. Now Eaton County police are searching for suspects on an attempted auto theft charge. Julie walked a quarter mile to her home, in sub-zero temperatures, at night Very early the next morning she walked back to the scene carrying gravel and shovels to free her auto, only to discover it was gone. Again returning home, she phoned both Barry County and Eaton County authorities and the State Police in Lansing. She had first phoned all her neigh­ bors and local wrecker services in hope of a clue. Ih the meantime, David Friddle of Cloverdale Road arrived at the Sheldon home to report he had spotted Julie’s car in a ditch near his home. The back bumper of the auto had been torn off and there appeared to be some other damage, he reported. He and Julie went to the scene to await the arrival of the police. When the authorities arrived it was ascer­ tained that thieves had apparently attempted to haul the vehicle away but had lost it in the ditch when a bumper gave way, and had deserted it there. Tom (“Tad”) Davis, son of Mr. and Mrs. Timothy Boucher ofNashville, passed his state exams last Mondayto become a licensed Real Estate Salesman. He took the test at Lansing. Sunday dinner guests at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Clarence (Margaret) Reid of Nashville were her parents, the Vere Robinsons of Bellevue; and sons Darrell and children ofVermontville; and Vernon and wife, Joanne, and children of Charlotte. John Paul Jones and Bruce Cooper of Williams and Works Engineering Firm of Grand Rapids met last Wednesday evening with members of the Riverside Recreational Development Corp. The RRDC has retained the engineering firm to draw an architectural plan for a proposed com­ munity recreational park adjacent to the Thornapple River, west of the Main Street stores. A Land and Water Con­ servation grant is being sought from Michigan’s Depart­ ment of Natural Resources to aid the project Helen Curtis, Secretary of- the RRDC and Chairman of the Grants Com­ mittee, met recently in Lansing with Mike McDonald and Rodney Stokes of the DNR to discuss preliminary groundwork in acquiring the grant monies. The necessary paperwork will be submitted soon by Williams and Works to the DNR. At present, two ball diamonds and one tennis court are planned on the river site. A “Sweetheart” Ball, set for February 17th at the Nashville Fire Barn, will also aid the park development project. Sponsored by the RRDC, the event will feature music by Rick Rodriguez. Tickets will be available at the door for the 9:00 p.m. Saturday dance. A “Sweetheart” will also be selected during the festivities from nominees named that night. All proceeds will go to the RRDC’s park project. WE CARE ABOUT.

This has required a complete remodeling of the X-ray Department and the addition of one more diagnostic unit. “We have doubled our Xray cases in the past ten years from around 550 cases per month to 1,050,” says Robert Foster, Chief X-ray Technician, explaining the use of the Hospital’s new unit WATER HEATERS GAS OR ELECTRIC 30 GAL & UP NASHVILLLE HARDWARE 105 NORTH MAIN ST. 852-0713 which began operation last September. Foster attributed growing demands for X-ray services on the increasing population in the area and requests for exams in 'connection with malpractice suits. Hospital Administrator Darwin Finkbeiner says the new unit will boost the hospital’s capacity to handle emergency cases. Mr.. Foster emphasized that the new unit will sup­ plement but not replace the old unit which is about 15­ years old. That machine was frequently breaking down and causing back-ups in the workload of the department. The new equipment, while in operation, is awaiting licensing from the State Department of Health Division of Radiology. Because of increased ex­ posure of employees and patients to radiation treatment, State regulations have been very stringent in this area.

Additional space and rooms have been created from old storage areas for dressing areas to handle more patients. A new processor for X-ray films is due to be added within a week. This will provide automatic developing. One of the critical needs of the hospital is for additional space for waiting areas. Up to now patients have had to wait in the small lobby which seats only eight persons, and accident cases on stretchers have had to wait in the hallway. These deficiencies are being corrected in the new upgrading and renovation being planned for the hospital. Changes include an enlarged waiting room and separate holding areas to provide patients on stretchers some privacy while waiting for x-rays. Hospital Administrator Darwin Finkbeiner stressed that the flew equipment is not part of the Hospital’s current $1.5 million dollar expansion fund drive. The $140,000 machine was leased and the remodeling expense of approximately $50,000 was financed from Hospital operating funds. Nash sponsors bill to create state library and museumA bill that would provide $15 million over three years for the establishment of a state library, museum and archives in downtown Lansing was introduced Wednesday in the Michigan House of Representatives. State Representative Ernest Nash (RDimondale),, the bill’s sponor, said that his measure promotes a cultural complex within six blocks of the State Capitol Building. He added that he is hopeful all three divisions can be under one roof, or at least within easy walking distance of one another. “This bill would centralize three cultural Areas im­ portant to the state apd its heritage,” Nash said. “I am confident that the members of this Legislature have enough interest in the history of their state to pass this legislation.” Nash said that many of the state’s artifacts could be stolen, broken or lost by being moved in and out of storage. He added that mapy historical pieces are now being stored in warehouses, rooms in the Capitol Building and in people’s homes. “We need some way of organizing and preserving these precious pieces from our past so that future generations will be able to appreciate their Michigan heritage,” Nash said. The current state library, located on E. Michigan Ave. in Lansing, is being leased by the state and the building (hat formerly housed the stale museum was sold to Lansing Community College at the end of 1978, Nash said. The state prehives is located at 3405 N. Logan in Lansing. “If this bill is passed,” Nash said, “the state library would remain under the jurisdiction of the Depart­ ment of Education and the museum and archives would be headed by the Depart­ ment of State.” Nash said the bill calls for $5 million in state funds to be spent in 1980, 1981 and 1982 for the establishment of the cultural center. He added that persons, organizations and corporations would also be welcome to make con­ tributions on behalf of the proposed library, museum and archives.

Tax Exemptions-The House will soon vote on HB 4076-77 which would exempt telephone and utility service from sales and use taxes. It is estimated that this would save Michigan consumers as much as $150. million per year. The majority party wants to raise this money elsewhere in the tax system so at this time I want to study this proposal carefully before I take a position. Consumers’ Guideline-The Michigan Consumers Council now has a toll-free Guideline to help resolve complaints with business and-or refer those complaints to the proper government agency. Just call 800-292-5680, Monday through Friday, 8:30 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. Minimum Sentences-The Michigan Supreme Court has ruled that last fall’s Proposal B, which requires criminals convicted of violent felonies to serve a minimum mandatory sentence before parole, applies only to crimes committed on or after December 22. Obscenity Action-Our state Supreme Court has acted to give Michigan an enforceable obscenity law, inserting U.S. Supreme Court guidelines into a law it had previously ruled unconstitutionally vague. The Court reluctantly took this action after several years ofurging the Legislature to pass a new law: the majority party in the Legislature has not acted to do so. Tax Shift?-The House Taxation Committee will start work this week on a proposal to increase the personal income tax rate by 19.5 percent, increase the personal exemption by 20 percent, and give increased property tax relief. Under last fall’s Proposal E, total taxation cannot increase, but it can be shifted around; this would shift some $450 million in tax, revenues. It appears certain that the savings in utility relief will be lost in this “shifty” proposal. Open Court-The Michigan Supreme Court has unanimously ruled that a judge may keep the public out of a criminal trial only if proper reasons are found to do so. Present law allows closed trials ifboth parties agree, but the Court set specific standards for exclusion. School Holdouts-Five of 28 school districts identified by the State Board of Education as having racially-isolated schools* have told the Board they are not taking action to comply with state guidelines, since it would be rearranging students solely on the basis of race. Emergency Backups-Under a 1969 law, the Governor has designated five emergency interim successors to head state government in case the five others specified in the cons tition are unable to serve. The House. Speaker is 5th in line, the House Minority Leader 8th in line. Phony Agents-The Department of Commerce has warned license-plate buyers to be on the lookout for phony “in­ surance agents” who will provide a fake Certificate of In­ surance to be used to get new license plates.

The total outlay to raise crops, livestock, and poultry ran up a bill of nearly $100 billion. This was a 12 percent ipcrease over the $89 billion spent for the same purpose in 1976. Farm production expenditures need to be watch closely in order to develop accurate estimates of how well farmers are doing conyjared with other sectors of the nation’s economy. During February and March, the Farm Production Expenditure Survey will be conducted to gather expenditure data for the 1978 production year. Approximately 193 farming operations will be contacted in Michigan, representing about 3 percent of the national sample. In conjunction with the Ex­ penditure Survey, a Point of Purchase Survey will be conducted to determine where Michigan farmers purchase their feed, fertilizer, pesticides, building and othermaterials, production inputs. Approximately 397 Michigan producers representing livestock, fruit, vegetalbe, nursery and greenhouse operations will be contacted which also represent about 3 percent of the national sample. Both surveys will be conducted by the Michigan Agricultural Reporting Service and will depend on the voluntary cooperation of farmers.

Myoursugg^1"*1 g^1"*1’ VflSK^ On Feb. 14, we celebrate St. Valentine’s Day with the exchange of verse or love notes on valentines and with flowers or candy to those we especially love. Do we realize that on this day we are following the com­ mandments of the Bible. The great commandments in law are: 37- Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind. 38- This is the first and , great commandment. 39-And the second is like unto it, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.” (St. Matt. 22:37-39) “For all the law is fulfilled in one word, even in this, Thou shalt love thy neigh­ bour as thyself.” (Galatians 5:14) Now we show our love to God by reading His Holy Bible and hearing it, by keeping His commandments (which are by love), by accepting His Son as our Saviour from sins, and by telling others about the redemptive blood of Jesus Christ. The second great com­ mandment tells us to “love our neighbour.” And who is our neighbour? We don’t refer to just those living in our neighborhood but to everyone and especially those with whom we come into contact with. A good neighbour is not selfish, not greedy, not boastful, not coveting; but is forgiving, is full of understanding and is a person who prays for his neighbours. Do you rejoice when your neighbour has good news, and do you comfort him if he is in sorrow? The Bible tells us how to be a good neighbour. “For I was an hungered, and ye gave me meat: I was thirsty, and ye gave me drink. I was a stranger, and ye took me in: naked, and ye clothed me: I was sick, and ye visited me: I was in prison, and ye came unto me.” (St. Matt. 25:35­ 36) And the Lord tells us: “.. . inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of these my brethren, ye have done it unto me. (St. Matt- 25:40) And the Bible further tells us in Mark 9:41: “. . . evena cup cup oof co cold waer, water, gven given inn Christ shall no not lose rs ’s name sa ose its reward. There are small things that can be given to a neighbour that don’t cost a cent - a smile, a cheerful greeting, a helping hand, RICKS DISPOSAL SERVICE SERVING: Nashville, Hastings, Middleville, Caledonia!! and surrounding areas ■ •CANSAVAILABLE* Reasonable Rates!!

Do you likewise have compassion for your neighbour who is hungry, who is left homeless by a tornado, flood, or fire? Listen to what the Bible says: “But whoso hath this world’s good, and-seeth his brother hath need, and shutteth up the bowels of compassion from him, how dwelleth the love of God in him? (I John 3:7) Most of all we show our love if we tell others (our neighbours) about Jesus by witnessing, by our life, by our actions and deeds, by getting them to read the Bible in study groups, etc. or by giving them or lending them a book that explains the scripture line by line, by lending them a religious book which quotes from the Bible, by inviting them to church, to camp meetings, to evangelistic meetings, prayer meetings, and the like. In conclusion: “Beloved, let us love one another: for love is of God, and knoweth God.” (I John 4:7) And let us not love one another just on St. Valentine’s Day but every day of the year! Mr. and Mrs. Stanley Trumble are proud to an­ nounce the engagement of their son Frederick A. Trumble of Monterery California to Amy Bommersback of Sea Side California. Amy is the daughter of Elisabeth Bommersback of Sea Side, .California and Markus Bommersback of Portland Oregon. Amy is employed at Grafic Arts Shop and is training in the Ministerial program. Frederick is employed at the Hyatt House in Monterial and is training in the Ministerial program. An October wedding is being planned in the Church of Monterery California.

Maple ValleyFFA- UPDATE Waiver of Payment TO CARD OF THANKS EAST SIDE WEST SIDE B p <owr,GHTING CCOOV RERREICNTGIO GNR AY COVERING GRAY �The Maple Valley News, Nashville, Wednesday, February 14,1979 — Page 9 Council story Maple Valley gets bounced twice —from front page has a tie-breaking vote, according to Nashville’s charter. The council also heard a complaint from a local service station owner because the village had recently purchased new snow tires for the DPW from a Lake Odessa dealer. He told the council they should buy locally whenever possible. “Nashville has a lot to offer,” he said. John Mason, head of the DPW committee, said he had reviewed local bids but had chosen the out-of-town offer because thej>rice was lower, but later realized he had erred when he discovered that tires were of lesser quality than those bid locally. A new employee grievance procedure program, presented on behalf of the Police Dept, and Depart­ ment of Public Works, was referred by Christiansen to a committee comprised of Spoelstra, Green, and Curtis. For the 3-months absence of Councilman Maurice Purchie, Christiansen has appointed Sharon Green as head of the police com­ mittee. Maple Valley made two valiant attempts to improve its win record last week, but fell short twice, losing to Lakewood 67-53 on Tues day and 61-59 to Lakeview Friday. The visiting Vikings jumped to a 12-0 lead before the Lions managed a bucket. The 16-6 first quarter deficit was an abstacle MV couldn’t overcome though they did manage to stay close to Lakewood in the remaining three quarters. The Lions were outscored 14-15 in the second quarter but outscored their guests in the third quarter 18-17 before falling back 15-19 in the final stanza. With 2:19 remaining, Jeff Mead’s free throw put MV within 4 points of Lakewood 38-34, but that was as close as the Lions could get. Though the Vikings were taller than the Lions at many positions, the home team fought its way back many times. It was a fast-paced game with both sides competing hard. Andy Joostberns led Lion scoring with 16 points. Brother Tony Joostberns added 12 with Jeff Mead and Ken Hansbarger adding 8 points each. Friday’s contest with league-rival Lakeview was another hard fought contest. After trailing 16-14 by the end of the first quarter, the Lions charged ahead to lead 31-27 by the half. Andy Joostberns controlled the boards by grabbing 16 rebounds and enabled the Lions to widen the lead 44-39 by the end of the third quarter. But the Lions got into foul trouble in the final stanza and with 3:55 to play the visitors took the lead. Hitting 8 of 12 free throws in that quarter enabled Lakeview to score 22 points and capture the vcitory 61-59. Though the Lions lost, some fine performances were turned in by Jeff Mead, Tom Gurd, Ken Hansbarger, Tony Joostberns, Don Fox, Kevin Kilpatrick and Chris Beebe. Junior Varsity searching for victories The Junior Varsity basketball team has improved its style of basketball, but constantly falls short in the finalscore. This week the Lakewood Vikings won 74-62 on Tuesday, and the Lakeview Wildcatss were victorious 67-57 on Friday. Pat Kersjes, Todd Gearhart, and John Kerrt have established themselves as solid scorers for the J.V. Terry Pierce has improved, and plays a solid point on offense, while Tom Brooke, Brad DeCamp, Jeff Weiler, Ray Pufpaff, and Mike Musser continue to fight for the final starting spot. Ray Pufpaff has improved greatly and contributes in a substitution role. Rounding out the 12 man squad are Ross Nichols, Kyle Cornish and Glenn Godbey. PVT Snyder returns as recruiter aide “We are very proud that all 12 men contribute to our program,” says Coach Ruohonen. “It is, often dif­ ficult to play all young men in a game, but our players have proven to be quite grown up in accepting their roles on the team. I would give anything for these boys to experience some wins. They are very deserving.” This week Maple Valley plays Central Montcalm at home on Tuesday, and travels to Central Montcalm on Friday. The J.V. record is 4-10. Valentine sentiments from years past Lyle French of Nashville collects all sorts of things including antique cards.

"This policy is also a statement of our commitment to revitalize and improve our cities,” Mitchell continued. “The policy will help us support only appropriate growth in appropriate areas consistent with development strategies established by Regional Planning Commissions.” The agricultural preservation plicy fulfills a goal of making an agency’s policies consistent with overall government goals of preserving land. The policy applies to all cropland and potential cropland. It is not limited to “prime” land. The Farmers Home Ad­ ministration is a Federal agency that makes loans and grants in rural areas for single family housing, mult­ family housing, farming water and sewer projects, a variety of community facilities, and guarantees business and industry loans.

("John") Simon, 56, of 405 Center Ct., Nashville, owner of Simon Pharmacy, who passed away at his home from an apparent heart attack. He had undergone heart surgery several years ago. Simon was a registered-pharmacist and had been a Nashville businessman for the past 13 years, having purchased the former Douse Drug Store on Main Street in 1966. He came to Nashville from Grand Rapids where he had also been a pharmacist and medical equip­ ment salesman. Born in Edmore, Michigan, on April 6, 1922, Clarence Joseph Simon was the son of Clarence and Edna (Pumpfrey) Simon. As a Captain in the U.S. Army Air Corp, during World War II, he servedover three years aS a fighter pilot stationed in the Aleutian Islands. He graduated from Ferris State College at Big Rapids in 1945. Simon was a member of the Nashville Lions Club, the Nashville Chamber of Commerce, and the Nashville United Methodist Church. He is survived by his wife, the former Wilma Corey, whom he married at Big Rapids in 1945. In addition, he is survived by two sons, Thomas M. Simon of Grand Rapids; and Brian J. Simon of Baltimore, Md.; two daughters, Mrs. Herbert (Danelle) Kaufman of Grand Rapids; and Melinda, at home; one brother, James Simon of Sand Lake; two sisters, Mrs. Art (Harriet) Schleede of Florida; and Mrs. Phyllis MacKay of Grand Rapids; and four grandchildren.

The only contest in the primary was between Sandra F. Kohfeldt and George T. Frith, both can­ didates for a one year term. Kohfeldt was victorious over Frith by a vote of 51 to 25. Frith resigned his seat on the council Jan. 11 but did not withdraw his name from the primary race. The other three candidates in Monday’s election all sought nomination to two year terms in the Mar. 12 general election.

Chamber outlines goals of newly formed committees* By Susan Hinckley Capitalizing on the tourist potential of a rejuvenated passenger rail line through Nashville was only one of many interesting ideas discussed at last Wednesday evening’s Nashville Chamber of Commerce meeting. Twenty members Were present for the dinner and business meeting at the Steakhouse Restaurant. Chamber president Charles Andrus, Jr. distributed copies of the organization’s constitution to all those present. The bylaws had been printed free of charge through the courtesy of J-Ad Graphics in Hastings, Andrus told the audience. Newly appointed com­ mittee heads were called on to outline their committee’s goals for the upcoming year. An interesting idea session ensued when Ahmo Jordan, the Thornapple riverfront; head of the Tourist and and promoting local Resort Committee, named recreational potential with numerous avenues to attract special sightseeing railroad tourists to Nashville. “We’re cars bringing visitors to our a small town but there are a area from Grand Rapids. lot of things we could do,” The present rail line Jordan said.

Members of the Class of 1953 met recently to lay groundwork for what they hope will become an annual award. A decision was made by the class, to restrict ap­ plicants for the Sessions scholarship to qualified seniors in the vocational education program. “We felt that awarding the scholarship to a Vo-Ed student would have met with Sam’s approval,” said class spokesperson, Mrs Jim (Delores Marshall} Knoll of Nashville. ‘‘Scholastic achievement alone did not impress Sam.” she ex­ plained, “but a person’s ability to work and achieve goals did.” Sessions reached in­ ternational fame as a race driver before his death in December 1977 at the age of 42. He began his career at the age of 14, racing boats in competition on the Thor­ napple River. He later ad­ vanced to auto and snowmobile racing, and was a 19-year racing veteran with an impressive list of credentials at the time of his death. He had competed in the Indianapdlis 500 Memorial Day race seven times, received the Hoosier 100 Rookie of the Year Award in 1970, was the 1972 USAC Sprint Car Champion, the 1977 TRI-SAC Super Modified Champion, and had won three state cham­ pionships in the, Michigan International Snowmobile Association. Sammy finished in the top ten at the Indy 500 twice, taking fourth place in the 1972 race. The deadline for Maple Valley seniors to apply for the Sessions Memorial scholarship is March 30th. Details may be obtained from Ward Rooks, MVHS guidance counselor. Story by Susan Hinckley passenger trips from Grand Rapids to Charlton Park or Sandyland,” suggested Andrus. It was agreed the Chamber should attempt to make contact with the new rail owners. The predicted rise in the cost of gasoline may also affect our local ecomony, the Chamber decided. Andrus pointed out that a survey done last year by the Nash­ ville Business Onwers Associations indicated that over 50 percent of local residents spent over half their purchasing dollars outside of Nashville. “With rising gas prices, maybe we could generate some new promotional ideas to encourage local shop­ ping,” Andrus said. Andrus also reported on a recent conversation with the head of Nashville’s new Continued on page 3- �The Maple Valley News, Nashville, Wednesday, February 21, 1979 — Page 2 Nashville News superstars.” z A log-hauling truck with a danerously shifting cargo was guided to a safe “landing” in the village Saturday morning, February 10th, by a combined effort of the Nashville Police Department and the Barry County Sheriff’s Dept. County law officials had been alerted to the potential problem by a citizen’s report relayed to the Barry County Sheriff’s Dept, by a Battle Creek area police agency. Deputy Bill Miller of the BCSD, assisted by Chief Wilcox in the Nashivlle police car, intercepted the northbound truck near the south M-66 curve at the Maple Leaf Grange. With one police cruiser leading and the other bringing up the rear, flashing overhead lights warned oncoming traffic of the potential hazard. Most motorists pulled nearly off the roadway when they realized the problem. The logs were securely reloaded after the hauler safely reached a parking area in the village. Mrs. Nellie Moon ofNashville celebrated her birthday last Thursday but prior to that day she was suprised with two celebrations in her honor. The first occasion was at the home of Mrs. Esta Day of Nashville and the second when Mrs. Olith Hamilton entertained the United Methodist Women. A special cake, many cards, and a beautiful rose surprised and delighted Mrs. Moon. Leon Doty of Charlotte was in Nashville last Wednesday to visit his grandmother, Mrs. Bertha Becker. Mrs. Phyllis Smith of Charlotte called on her mother, Mrs. Verna Frederick of Nashville, last Wednesday afternoon. A former local boy was recently promoted to the rank of colonel in the U.S. Air Force. He is Stephen Hinderliter, son of Donald and Zelna Hinderliter, former community residents and publishers of the Nashville News from 1941 to 1956. The senior Hinderliters now live in Battle Creek. Stephen is stationed at Langley Air Force Base in Virginia, where he is Director of Information. He graduated from high school here in 1952, then continued his education at Michigan State University earning a degree in journalism. Stephen later acquired a master’s degree in public relations from Boston University. The Hinderliter family were well-known and a popular family in our village. Editor Don always gave special en­ couragement to struggling young writers in Nashville’s high school journalism classes and when the first “Quill and Scroll” international honor society chapter was inaugurated here in 1955, it was named the Donald Hinderliter Chapter in his honor. (Your reporter, one of the four charter members of the local group, remembers the occasion well.) Editor Don was pleased by, as always, extremely modest about the recognition. Huge, shoulder-high snowbanks along country roads have created serious vision problems for local motorists and in one recent instance were cited as the cause of a 2-car collision on the Hager Road curve. The narrow roadway and wide snowbanks left little room for two autos meeting on the curve to pass, resulting in a crash. Fortunately, no injuries were reported and both vehicles were operable following the mishap which was policed by the Nashville Police Depart­ ment.

PHONE 852-9107 Mrs. Eva Kalnbach of Nashville Site Senior Citizens dinner Nashville’s village hall is currently undergoing extensive renovation to create separate office facilities for the police department and the village clerk. Since village council and zoning meetings, plus village elections, are not being held at the more spacious Castleton Township Hall on South Main Street, village officials decided to proceed with the longawaited remodeling of village hall to provide more efficient work space and privacy for both the clerk and police department operation. A small entry foyer will allow adequate room for the public to pay water bills, or transact other business with the clerk, via a pass-through window. Both the clerk’s office and the police department have doors leading from the foyer area into their separate quarters. Nearly equal work space for both operations was provided by installation of an east-west partition and relocation of a storage closet. Attractive wood-grained paneling along with a wallpaper-style patterned paneling brighten the renovated hall. The entire DPW crew has been involved with the project, and some of the men have even donated their Saturday off-time to speed completion. Nashville residents should be very pleased with the convenient and attractively remodeled municipal facilities. Mrs. Deidra Sprinkle, supervisor of the Nashville Nutrition Site, baked cupcakes with candy heart decorations as a special Valentine’s Day treat for the Senior Citizens who lunch there. And in observance of the occasion last Wednesday, Mrs. Nellie Moon and Mrs. Fern Hawblitz brought antique valentines to display. Mrs. Feme Green also brought along several colorful old postcard valentines, with quaint verses, to share with others. An interesting note on the old Wolcott House recently featured in a “Memories” story: Mrs. Caroline Jones of Nashville last week found a May 13th, 1948 issue of an old Nashville News containing a “70 years ago” column. An item in it read: “A large force of workmen are rushing construction of the Wolcott Hotel on South Main Street. It will contain 27 sleeping rooms and two or three parlors.” The discovery by Mrs. Jones helped establish a missing link in our story-that the Wolcott House was built in 1878, a fact that had eluded our earlier research. The expansion at Carl’s Market on Reed Street is progressing rapidly. Last week an opening was made bet­ ween the existing store and the new addition. Heavy plastic was hung to keep dust out of the store while the joining wall was torn down. Interior finishing work is currently un­ derway in the addition which adds 5,100 square feet of floor space to the west side of the present market. After a week of basking in the Bahama sunshine, Mrs. Homer (Tecla) Snow returned home to Nashville last week and reports it was quite a shock to her system. A 3-hour flight transported her from mid-70 to sub-zero tem­ peratures. Tecla with her daughter, Barbara Snow of Lansing, and a friend, Mrs. Lisa Skidmore of Hastings, flew to the Bahamas from Windsor, Canada. They stayed in an oceanfront hotel at Freeport, overlooking clear blue waters and sandy white beaches. Shopping at the International Bazaar for imported goods was a highlight, as was Lisa’s flight on a para-sail, towed aloft by a motor boat and landing on an ocean platform. They also enjoyed watching the filmingjjf the “Superstars” competition for television at the Bahamas Princess Hotel, billed as “the home of the ANEW YOU WITH A NEW HAIRDO Irene’s Beauty Shop By Susan Hinckley Monday, February 26th. Mrs. Eva Kalnbach of Nashville will give the presentation. All senior citizens in the community are invited to attend the 12:30 p.m. showing at the Masonic Temple on Main Street. The Education Committee of the Nashville United Methodist Church will meet Wednesday evening, February 21st, at 7 p.m. at the church. Two interesting photos were also received in the mail last week from Kenneth A. Meade, a Nashville native now of Franklin. The pictures, reprinted from old negatives, are unfortunately not clear enough for publication but we thought readers might enjoy hearing about them. Pictured on ttop of the old “standpipe” in Putnam Park are Gayion Cronk, Harley Kinne, Emory Morris, Ralph Townsend, and Meade. Only'Kinne and Meade are still living. Morris, of course, went on to great fame as Director ofJhe W.K. Kellogg Foundation. Townsend lived in Vermontville for many years, worked in Lansing, and died in Florida some years ago, according to Meade. Cronk also passed away in Florida in 1976. Kinne, a retired registered pharmacist, now lived in Grand Ledge where he practiced his trade for many years. He had started his pharmacy career by working at Charley Brown’s drug store in the Gribben block when he was only 14. The photos sent by Meade dated from about 1919, he believes. Thanks to Kenneth A. Meade for sharing his memories of Nashville’s past. Mrs. Edna McConnell of Battle Creek visited her sister, Mrs. Viola Beystrum of Nashville, last week and spent several days here. Tuesday evening, Edna called on Mrs. Bertha Becker of Nashville. The United Methodist Church Council on Ministries will meet at 7:60 p.m. Tuesday, February 20th, at the church, followed by an 8:00 p.m. meeting of the Administrative Board. Orville (“Mike”) Everett of Nashville owns an unusual photo of Lentz Table Company employees taken in 1923. The long, narrow picture is dated October 24th. of that year and shows 75 workers, including four women. The photo was passed down through Mike’s family, and depicts a variety of workingman’s clothing typical of that time. However, one stately-looking gentleman in a vested suit, complete with pocket watch, is Lewis Lentz, according to Mike. Another member of the founder’s family, Carl Lentz, is also in the photo. The framed picture measures approximately 30 in­ ches long and only 7 inches high. A final chapter on the Class of 1920 photo recently published in a “Memories” feature: We reported last week that the whereabouts of all class members but Donna Francis, Paul Gardner, and Elna Peterson had been lear­ ned. Subsequently, we received information on all three. Donna Francis is now deceased but had lived many years in Oregon, reports her cousin, Mrs. Russell Smith of Nashville. Paul Gardner passed away in 1960 in the Lansing area, where he had lived most of his life, according to Mrs. Kenneth Gardner of Nashville, whose husband was Paul’s nephew. And Elna Peterson (“the girl in the dark sailor dress”) is living in Nebraska, reports Mrs. Gardner. She received the information through a local realtive of Elna’s who did not know her married name. The Class of 1920 photo, furnished by Kenneth A. Meade of Franklin, brought more reader response than any other published thus far. We appreciate all the helpful calls and letters which aided identification of the class members. Readers are encouraged to call this reporter at 852-1963 to report any additions or corrections to information furnished in the “Memories” feature. The input of long-time Nashville residents is needed to complete research on many of the old photos and insure historical accuracy in our reports. If you have Nashville rhemeories to share, or photos to lend for publication, please let us know. And speaking of corrections: Lloyd Wilcox of Nashville was kind enough to point out that Jim and “Ma” Taylor’s farm on Kalamo Highwasy was southeast (not southwest) of Nashville. (Not a typographical error; this reporter just needs a compass:) The Taylors, Wilcox reports, lived on the old McDerby farm before opening their Main Street livery stable. The McDerby family were also long-time Nashville merchants. Thanks to Lloyd for sharing.

Leonard Putnam of Nashville is attending a 3-day continuing education course at Albion College this week, studying the subject of time management as it relates to pastors. Several farmers from the Barry and Eaton County areas met in Nashville last week for a 2-day workshop on dair feeding, conducted by the Barry and Eaton County Ex­ tension Services. Jack Gergen, an agricultural agent with the Barry County office, reports that a dozen farmers were given a demonstration of the use of a computer to calculate ration formulations for their dairy cattle, and also feed cost calculations. Comparisons were made between hand calculations, the use of small advanced hand calculators, and computer calculations. The computer, shown to be most effective, is available at the Barry County Extension office in Hastings for use by farmers, via phone, at a minimal charge. Wayne and Sherry Gould, and daughter Leslie, of Bivens Road returned last week from an 18 day trip to Arizona and California. The Goulds flew from Kent County Airport to Tucson, Arizona, to visit his parents, the Gaylord Goulds.

Mr. Charles Cornish was present at the meeting and stated his concern over the handling of a situation that developed in the locker room following the Jr. Varisty basketball game against Lakeview. His general concern was related to comments made by coach Mel Ruohonen and Mr. Cornish’s son who is a member of the Jr. Varisty basketball team. Mr. Ruohonen stated that it was nuecessary to suspend Mr. Cornish’s son for one game considering that team rules had not been followed. No action was taken by the board members relative to action taken by coach Mel Ruohonen. A discussion was held relative to purchasing CB radios for the special education busses, kin­ dergarten busses, and the school truck.

A June 2, wedding is being planned. In 1931, when Mrs. Olith Hamilton first came to Nashville to begin her long teaching career, a home economics department was started in a house located north of the school (on the approximate present-day site of the Kellogg School sygmansium). “There were only two women on the teaching staff then,” remembers Mrs. Hamilton. The other was Nashville native Leia Roe, a music and art instructor. A new agricultural( department was also in­ stituted about that time, with classes taught by the superintendant. In 1936, a brick addition,containing a gymnasium and two floors of classrooms, was added to the north end of the 1902 schoolhouse. Financial aid from the W.K. Kellogg Foundation made the expansion possible and the school was renamed Nashville W.K. Kellogg Rural Agricultural School. Gone from the scene was the old “home economics house,” which school of­ ficials. had furnished as a classroom, seemingly missing its’ real-life training potential. One by one, other homes sharing the school block had been purchased and removed. Only one remains. The forested Washington Street site, selected in 1867 for a two-room frame school, had hosted a full century of education for Nashville’s youngsters when the wrecking crew arrived in 1966. However, today, children still flock to the scene and tradition continues as the 1936 addition to the old brick school now stands its’ own right and serves the com­ munity as Kellogg Elementary School. Young maples guard Nashville's old school house in the winter of 1909, just seven years after the sturdy brick and stone structure was built. The main entry faced Washington Street, in the staunch south wall that snapped wrecking cables as it resisted demolition in 1966.

Charlotte hospital launches expansion fund drive A drive has Seen launched to raise $1.5 million for the construction ofa new wing at Hayes Green - Beach Hospital in Charlotte. Doug Lowe, Charlotte realtor and active civic leader, is ser­ ving as General Chairman for the Fund which will cover the entire service area of the hospital. The service area encompasses all of Charlotte and Olivet and portions of Bellevue, Vermontville, Potterville,, Mulliken, Sunfield, and Nashville. “Every individual and company within the service area of the hospital will have an opportunity to participate in the campaign,” said Mr. Lowe. Approximately $1,300,000 of the money raised will be spent on modernization of the present hospital, the cost of fund raising, and the collection of pledges. Two area banks, Michigan National and Eaton Federal Savings and Loan, have gotten the campaign off to a good start with advance gifts of $25,000 and $20,000 respectively. The campaign leadership under Mr. Lowe includes R. Lynn Fowler, Vice President, Fowler Chevrolet and Oldsmobile Agency in Charlotte, Big Gifts; Al Hirt, Owner Al Hirt Ford Mercury in Charlotte, Special Gifts; Dr. Frederick P. Darin, Optometrist, General Gifts; and Lyle W. Buxton, Area Chairman. Mr. Buxton, now retired after some 30 years with the Farmer’s Home Ad­ ministration of the U.S. Department of Agriculture, has major responsibility for the organization of the fund drive in the outlying areas of Charlotte.

There will be no additional beds added to the hospital’s total of 46, but the new plan includes the creation of eight private and thirteen semi­ private rooms. Other key changes will also provide more space for waiting areas, for nursing service, and records storage and administration, through some reallocation of space in the existing facility. lf you don’t know tax laws...you need H&R Block!” We are income tax specialists.

Johnson’s Furniture PRESENTS CLASSIC PORTFOLIO Fine All-Wood Tables seemed out of place since there was no difference between the behavior of the audience and council members. 2. One council member seemed upset because phone calls were made urging people to attend the last meeting. The phone calls that I made were urging people to come in support of the issue or at least to come and hear both sides. It would appear that the council member didn’t want citizen input on the issue. 3. Council members were elected to represent the citizens of Nashville. I saw no evidence by the majority of the council that they were working in the best interests or with the support of the community, when they ignored the wishes of 35 people in attendance and supported the view sup­ ported by only 3 people in attendance Could it be that the council forgot the audience vote that was taken a short time before their own vote?

Wednesday, February 21, 1979 — Page 6 Maple Valley FFA celebrates National FFA Week locallyMembers of the Maple Valley Chapter of Future Farmers of America (FFA) are joining with nearly 500,000 other FFA members in the United States this week to celebrate National FFA Week. The organization is also marking its 50th anniversary. Throughout the week, the state’s 160 chapters are planning activities to support the FFA theme, “A Golden Past, A Brighter Future.” The 71 members of the Maple Valley Chapter and the organization’s advisor, Keith Greenwald, will be hosting Regional FFA Leadership Contests in competition with about 12 other school districts on Thursday at Maple Valley High School as part of the observance of FFA Week. Competition, will include contests in the following areas: public speaking, demonstrations, “Greenhand” public speaking (for first year members), extemporaneous speaking, job interview performance, Agriculture Forum (panel discussion of agricultural problems with 5-7 members participating), and parlimentary proceedure (showing 10 abilities of parlimentary proceedure and conducting one item of business.)

First Aid for farm injuries is part of the practical knowledge FFA members receive. 7 to 14 bags, ball point pens, and bumper stickers in the community. The traditions of FFA have held strong and produced a mighty work force for food and fiber to meet the needs of our nation and the world. Successful agricultural leaders of today are the testimony...a 50-year suc­ cess story of learning by doing. National FFA Week always includes George Washington’s birthday in observance of his leadership in promoting scientific farming practices.

Other of­ ficers chosen were Laurie Kipp as Secretary; and Helen Hay as Treasurer. The selection ofa candidate to fill the post of Vice-President is still pending. Janice and Jerry Johnson had acted as temporary chairpersons for the fledgling group after several interested persons gathered for an informal idea session January 30th. The Johnson’s initiative was an important contribution in launching the organization, getting it off to a very good start. “We have outstanding library for a village our size,” said Johnson. He encouraged use of the library as a cultural center for the community as well as for traditional library ser­ vices. He pointed to dramatics and folklore as potential uses. Last Monday the newlyformed group decided that their first project for the library will be to establish a collection of periodicals for the reference room. ' Magazines in the news, business, science, and nature categories are being sought, starting with current issues retroactive for a oneyear period. Individuals with these types of periodicals to donate may contact any FOL memeber, call the library , or drop the material off at Johnson’s Furniture Store. “Those who have an in­ terest in the library but are unable to attend regular meetings are still encouraged to lend full support to various ‘Friends’ project,” comments Putnam librarian La Duska Sheldon. She reports that many local residents have contacted her to offer assistance, and express interest in the organization, although they are unable to actively participate in meetings. “Friends of the Library” groups have been formed throughout the state, aiding local libraries with a variety of programs ranging from assisting the library staff with reading programs to cleaning the premises. A multitude of conventional, and some unique, fund­ raising events have also been staged by such groups to benefit their libraries. Bylaws for establishment of the local organization were furnished by the Michigan Department of Education State Library Services, which also was the source of information for the various projects of FOL groups in the state. The next regular meeting of the local ‘Triends of the Library” will be held at the library on Tuesday, February 27th, at 10:00 a.m. Meetings of the organization may alternate between morning and evening sessions for the convenience of persons with jobs and other committments that might conflict with a per­ manently set time. Pam Bishop, a teen-age member of the FOL, con­ ducted a children’s story hour last Monday evening to entertain youngsters who had accompanied their parents to the meeting.

The new Queen is sixteenyear-old Janice Siple, a junior at Maple Valley High School who bubbles with enthusiasm and is talented in many fields. She resides with her parents, Lois and Robert Siple, and her three brothers in a large farmhouse on Gresham Highway which formerly had belonged to her great-grandparente. Janice was selected Queen last week on the basis of her poise, personality, and ,yes, even on her knowledge of the basics of maple syrup making. As queen, Janice will represent Vermontville in its promotion of the annual Maple Syrup Festival which will be held April 27-29. She will be offically crowned by the 1978 Queen, Karen Christensen, during ceremonies on April 28. Besides Vermontville’s Grand Parade, during the festivities, Janice said she will participate in 6-8 other parades during her reign. Janice is active in school activities and extracuricular endeavors. A member of the National Honor Society,- she Vermontville's Syrup Queen enjoys playing the piano and also plays trombone in the high school band. plays trombone in the high school band and performs with the pep band and en­ semble band. She appeared as part of the chorus in the school’s production of “Fiddler On The Roof” and even plays powder puff football. The voice heard reading school announcements over the P.A. system is Janice’s, and she also keeps the statistics for Junior Varsity Football. In her hobbies and ac­ tivities, Janice is as com­ fortable at the piano or sewing machine as she is in the barn tending her flock of sheep and equally talented as well. She captured second place in a 4-H sheep shearing contest and sews many of her own clothes, including several very professional looking pant suits aiid even a wool coat trimmed in fur. Right now she is working on a five-piece outfit she plans to enter next fall in the “Make It With . Wool Con­ test” sponsored by Michigan State University. Janice has been playing the piano for eight years and took lessons for six. She enjoys playing both classical and popular numbers. Knitting, > working with ceramics, and canoeing are activities she enjoys too. 4-h plays an important part in her life and Janice belongs to two different clubs. She serves as vice president of the 4-H group “Happy Homes, Happy Hands” and is secretary of the Vermontville Junior Farmers. With the Junior Farmers, Janice works with her six sheep, learning about marketing, breeding, stock, and showmanship. One of her goals is to knit a sweater with yarn spun from wool from her own sheep. Janice is shown with one of her six sheep which she takes care of as part of her 4-H activities with the Vermontville Junior Farmers. In the other club, her activities focus on sewing, knitting, cooking, canning, arts and crafts and furniture refinishing. She has refinished a rocking chair and oak table which are part of the fur­ nishings in her family’s home. She also finds cooking enjoyable and often will help prepare dinner. Canning at the Siple household is a family affair. “We sit out at the picnic table and everyone’s in­ volved,” said Mrs. Siple. Janice’s father is em­ ployed at the Post Cereal division of General Foods in Battle Creek and also raises hay, sheep, and hogs. And when it’s chore time around the farm, Janice as well as her brothers Mark, 15, Michael,11, and Danny,9, pitch in to help. After high school graduation in 1980, Janice plans to enroll in nursing school. She has grown up around “talk of hospitals,” says her mother, explaining that she and Janice’s grandmother were nurses and that Janice’s father had been an orderly when he attended college. With that background and a desire “to help people,” choosing a career in nursing is a natural for Janice. But meanwhile, she is looking forward to an ex­ citing year as Vermontville’s Maple Syrup Festival Queen. “She enjoys what she’s doing, and that’s what counts,” said Mrs. Siple of her daughter. And her reign as queen should be no ex­ ception. MAPLE SYRUP ROYALTY: Queen Janice Siple is shown in the center surrounded by members of her court.

February 21. 1979 — Page 10 MSU 'Farmers' Week' probes dairy, industry, energy conservation, trade challenging farm management— Dairy programs at Michigan State University’s Fanners’ Week will provide producers guidelines to improving management efficiency. The 64-year-old event, March 19-24, carries the theme “Food’ America’s Essential Resource.” “If we are to meet the world food demands of the future, we must assist our farmers in curbing production costs,” says Tom Thorburn, Farmers’ Week provides a strong insight as to how MSU Agricultural Experiment Station scien­ tists and MSU Cooperative Extension Service personnel can help." Dairy sessions begin Monday (March 19) with the dairy breeds association meetings. A highlight of the day is the dairy breeds award program beginning at noon inthe Kellogg Center for Continuing Education. During the luncheon, Michigan’s outstanding dairy producers will be recognized and awarded. Tuesday’s dairy program begins with a look at coping with rising energy costs in production. The session is in 109 Anthony Hall beginning at 9:30 a.m. Topics dwell upon the future availability and cost of energy, using fuel efficiently, heat exchangers and waste heat use, grain drying and storage systems, and alternative systems for feeding the herd. These topics will show producers what steps can be taken to conserve energy now. The Tuesday afternoon session, beginning at 1 p.m. in 110 Anthony Hall, takes a look at international trade talks and the dairy industry. Topics include an outline of how dairy products are in­ volved in foreign trade, the position of. a Michigan dairy processor and that of a Michigan farmer, and the view of an MSU agricultural economist. Wednesday, beginning at 10 a.m. in 103 Kellogg Center, the MSU dairy science and the agricultural economics departments will have a clinic about the program mable calculator.

Wetlands Bill-The House Conservation Committee has started work on HB 4049, which is designed to preserve and protect Michigan’s wetlands. It has been introduced before; chief concerns center on heavy-handed government regulations. Fuel Supplies-Despite crises elsewhere jn the world and an extremely cold January state energy authorities say that available fuel supplies will get us through the winter. But U.S. fuel rationing could begin in the spring. Divorce Thoughts-A preliminary report from a special legislative commission on the courts has suggested a number of alternatives to the present system of going to court to get a divorce. For example, since 96 percent of all divorces are uncontested, a domestic relations agency could provide counseling, help protect children’s rights and ease court loads. Driver Profile-The Secretary of State’s annual driver profile shows that while bad drivers do have frequent accidents, most accidents involve drivers without penalty points on their records. Nearly three drivers in 10 will be in an accident during any 5-year period; also, women are far less likely to be involved in an accident than men. Budget Fund-Our Budget Stabilization or “Rainy Day” Fund, enacted two years ago, has been singled out by the Council of State Governments as one of 8 innovative state government programs worthy of further study by other states. The Fund presently holds about $224 million. Fair Plan-The Department of Natural Resources has stated a $6.8 million redevelopment plan for the state fairgrounds in Detroit. They will demolish all but six .buildings, renovate those and build others. The goal is to create a year-round recreation and exhibit site. Laetril Bill-The House will soon vote on HB 4078, which would legalize the drug Laetrile in Michigan. This bill is identical to one which passed the House last year and was the subject of lengthy debate; it permits the manufacture, prescription or dispensing of Laetrile. Coyote Bounty-Also coming up for a vote is HB 4048, which would repeal Michigan’s 44-year-old bounty on coyotes. This proposal has passed the House in two previous sessions but has died in the Senate. Bounty numbers have declined in recent years due to rising fu>prices. Community Events . .

For those interested in dairy goat production, that program is from 9:30 a.m. through 2:30 p.m. Wed­ nesday, and is in the Agricultural Engineering Building. The program will dwell on how to get started in dairy goat production, and it delves management programs. Michigan Animal Breeders Cooperative, Inc., will hold its 35th annual meeting Thursday, at Kellogg Center, starting at 9 a.m. Open houses for dairy producers will be held at MABC headquarters, the Dairy Herd Improvement Association computer center, and at the MSU Dairy Research Center throughout most of the week.

The dairy programs are only a few of the more than 300 educational sessions offered to farmer and nonfarmers wishing to learn more about improving food production and maximizing production inputs. Cattle numbers off 15% The number of Cattle on Michigan farms dropped 15 percent during 1978 and 20 percent in the past 2 years. A January 1 inventory survey turned up only 1.25 million cattle and calves in the state, the fewest in 77 years. Beef cows plummeted 30 percent to 138,000 head, the lowest in 10 years, as far­ mers rushed their cattle to market to response to higher prices. Meanwhile many beef type heifers were being diverted to feed lots instead of herd re-building. The inventory of heifers over 500 pounds for beef cow replacement at 19,000 dropped 34 percent, while other heifers at 55,000 head stood near last year’s level. Milk cows continued their slow decline to 402,000 on dairy farms this January, just 2,000 head below last year. Dairy replacement heifers dropped 19 percent to 149,000, but remained only 5 percent below 2 years ago. Steers slid 23 percent to 187,000 head, hulls fell 32 percent to 19,000, and calves at 281,000 under 500 pounds slipped 15 percent below a year ago. The 1978 calf crop of 510,000 new-borns fell 11 percent below the previous year to follow a 10 percent decline in the total number of cows. The total value of Michigan’s cattle herd shot up 30 percent, however, to $625 million despite the sharp decline in numbers. The average animal was worth $500 this year com­ pared with $325 last January. CASH FOR LAND CONTRACTS Any type of real estate throughout Michigan. No commissions or closing costs.

Village President Harold Christiansen called the second meeting after ob­ jections to Thursday’s action were raised by some village employees, who reportedly said they had not had an opportunity to review the plan prior to its’ adoption and would not work under it. “I was under the im­ pression that all Village employees had seen the grievance procedure,” explained Trustee John Mason, who had moved Thursday to adopt the plan but reversed his stand Saturday and moved to rescind it. Mason said he learned Friday all village employees had not been consulted by a special committee appointed by Christiansen to study the procedure for recommendation to the council. Mason said the employees were “not in agreement with most of it.” Leon Frith, head of the Department of Public Works, indicated at Satur­ day’s meeting that his crew felt some conditions of the plan were “unfair practices to work under,” and he thought it was “imperative” the council discuss the procedure with village employees immediately. He said he had not been con­ sulted on committee revisions to the originallyproposed plan. Trustee Helen Curtis pointed out that Frith had not objected to the plan at Thursday’s meeting when copies of the procedure were circulated among the audience. Committee revisions were read at that time and opinions solicited before the council’s approval of the plan. “You are head of the DPW; you should have spoken for your men Thursday night,” Curtis told Fqth. Had he done so, she, explained, the plan would have been sent back to committee for changes prior to adoption. Mason’s move to rescind the plan Saturday failed to gain sufficient votes for approval. However, the council unanimously agreed to send the grievance procedure back to the committee for amendments, allowing an opportunity for review by all departments and employees while the system remains in effect. The 5-step plan outlines required procedure for channeling employee problems and complaints through immediate super­ visors before stepping up to committee, then council level, for resolution. “The idea of a grievance procedure is to resolve disputes so that both sides feel they are winners,” commented audience member Richard Kohfeldt. He suggested dialogue and input from village em­ ployees might help claify the plan, but stressed the council should not give up their power and authority as village employers nor be “dictated to by village employees.” Kohfeldt reflected the consensus of opinion at Saturday’s’ meeting which favored possibly amending, rather than scrapping, the newly-adopted plan. The employees’ primary objections to' the procedure on final centered a paragraph which would forbid them discussing employee relations or problems at a regular meeting of the village council (The plan, however, provided for written complaints and responses traveling through a chain of command which could eventually reach the council). Other objections were to a paragraph defining grievances, and a ruling that grievances settled at any level would be permanently retained in their personnel files. In business Thursday, the council referred to com­ mittee a revised police work schedule presented by Trustee Ted Spoelstra. He said it was essentially the same 21-day schedule adopted by the council two weeks ago except that it would allow the chief to remain on a day shift. The most recently adopted schedule* had created some controversy because the chief is required to work night shifts on an equally rotating basis with his two officers. Also referred to committee were four sealed bids opened by Mason, quoting prices for a l-ton cab and chassis for the Department of Public Works. Additional equip­ ment for the truck will in­ clude a dump body, hoist, snow plow, and hydraulic hook-ups. The committee is to evaluate the bids and come back to the council with a recommendation. The council also heard a bid for body repair needed on the 1978 Chevy Nova police cruiser and tabled until next meeting the police com­ mittee’s recommendation to sell the backup unit, a 1975 Ford. A letter from Chief Wilcox to police committee head Sharon Green listed insurance rates, operational costs, and estimates of a new exhaust system needed on the vehicle. “The police committee’s recommendation is to sell the car is,” Green reported, saying it was not being used as often as had been an­ ticipated. In answer to an audience question on another matter, the council indicated Leonard Eaton earns Eagle rank — Leonard Eaton, a member of Boy Scout Troop 177, will receive the rank of Eagle Scout during a Court of Honor tonight (Tuesday) in the Maple Valley Jr.-Sr. High School auditorium. The ceremonies have been scheduled to coincide with Pack 3176's Bl”"» and Gold Banquet. Leonard, 14, is the son of Mr. and Mrs. Arnold Eaton of Nashville. He has been in scouting for six years and is in the ninth grade at Maple Valley. His favorite subject is math and In his spare time, Leonard likes to build model rockets and enjoys reading.

February 28. 1979 — Page 2 Nashville News The Terry Gardner family of Nashville is enjoying the compnay of Marcelo Dal Pai, a 16-year-old Brazillian Ex­ change student who arrived February 2nd and will be staying with the Gardners until the end of July. Marcelo, who came to the USA under the “Youth for Understanding” program, is enrolled as a senior at Maple Valley High School. He choose Michigan as his preferred state because of his curiosity about our winter weather and is delighted with out snow, a new experience for him. The coldest month of the year in his native city of Porto Alegre is July, with temperatures rarely dipping below the mid-30’s. Marcelo is also impressed with the variety of American foods, especially pastries and other sweets, which are not plentiful in his country. Candy bars and potato chips are a new treat for him. Though fluent in English, the native language of Marcelo and his family, consisting of his parents and a 13year-old sister, is Portugese. Upon his return to Brazil, Marceo will enter college for five years of study to become an agriculturist. Congratulations to Mr. and Mrs. Vern Hawblitz of Nash­ ville who observed their 57th wedding anniversary February 15th. A family celebration was held Sunday afternoon, the 18th, at the Hawblitz home. Present for the occasion were Mr. and Mrs. Dale Bishop and son, Douglas; and Mr. and Mrs. Larry Hawblitz and children, Terese and Kevin, all of Battle Creek; Mr. and Mrs, Blair Hawblitz and grand­ daughter, Stacey, and Mrs. Gladys Miller, all of Nashville. Last week’s thawing trend was warmly welcome by local residents but created inconvenience for some. The higher temperatures drove frost deeper into the ground, causing water lines to freeze. Putnam Library was on the list of “casualties” but pipes were quickly thawed by the village DPW crew using special equipment brought in from Bellevue. The library staff appreciated the rapid response of the village workers to restore water service to the building. Several homes in the village were also affected and required, ■ the services of the crew. Residents who have experienced freeze-ups, or those who anticipate such problems, are asked to leave a tap running. Adjustments of water charges will be made if village hall is notified, advises Village Clerk Suzy Corkwell.

The Nashville Fire Department had a very hectic weekend recently, battling varidhs types of residential blazes. At midnight Friday evening, February 16th, the firemen were 'summoned to the former Steve Priddy residence located on M-66 south of town. A passerby had spotted a fire there, notified the department, and began throwing snow on the blaze. It was contained when the firefighters arrived but left a three by four foot hole in the side of an attached garage. Cause of the fire was determined to have been a week-old coals cleaned from a wood-burning stove and spread on the snow outside earlier that morning. Amazingly; the coals had been stored in a bucket in the garage for six days before being spread on a pathway ad­ jacent to the house, before re-igniting. Sunday evening, about 5:30 p.m., the Nashville firemen were summoned to assist the Hastings Fire Department in battling a house fire on McGynn Road. The local firefighters were called when the blaze worsened as flames in the house partitions became exposed; they stayed on scene over four hours aiding the Hastings firemen. No sooner home and settled in for the night, the local firefighters were again called out-this time to a fire at the "David Roush residence on East Casgrove, at 1:00 a.m. Although no flames were visible, the wall area where a wood stove stack entered the chimney was smouldering. The firemen controlled the situation by removing insulation from the wall area, and remained on the scene an hour. Musical selections from various Broadway plays, in­ cluding “My Fair Lady” and “Fiddler on the Roof.”, were enjoyed by members of the Nashville Lions Club and their wives at a Monday evening dinner, February 19th, at the Nashville United Methodist Church. The performance, dubbed “Entertainment 77”, was provided by Mary Bills, daughter of the Ahmo Jordans of Nashville, and a troupe of entertainers from Battle Creek. Mary is a member of the Civic Theater group there. Guests at the dinner were six visiting Lions from Mulliken and one from Vermontville, plus Jan Kasper of Clarksville, a candidate for Lions District Governor, and his wife, Doris. Phil Howard, 1st Vice President of the local club, presided at the meeting in the absence of President Rev. Leonard Putnam, who was at­ tending classes at Albion College. The local Lions expressed sorrow at the recent loss of fellow member, John Simon, who passed away Sunday. “World Day of Prayer” will be observed March 2nd in Nashville and throughout the world when churches gather in combined services for prayer and Christian unity.. “Faith, Hope, and Love”, will be the theme of the local service to be held 7:30 p.m. Friday at St. Cyril Catholic Church.

She was presented with a dozen red roses and a heart-shaped box of chocolates, both decorated with red gingham ribbon. Theresa, was one of seven candidates nominated during the Saturday evening event sponsored'by the Riverside Recreational Develop­ ment Corp. Others entered in the competition were Bonnie Maker, Mary Bills, Janice Filter, Penny Cosgwell, Kay Birnbaum, and Sally Rodriguez. Votes for each candidate were gathered by her sponsor (husband, sweetheart, or friend) who circulated a colorfully decorated canister among the dancers, seeking money votes for his “sweetheart”. A small entry fee for each contestant plus monies collected as votes in the contest were donated to the RRDC for their community park project. All proceeds of the dance, .which was a gala event despite sub-zero tem­ peratures outside, will help construct ball diamonds, tennis courts, and other recreational facilities adjacent to the Thornapple River, west of the Main Street stores. The dancers kept warm to the lively rhythms of the Rick Rodriguez band in the heated fire barri, and the RRDC reports the affair was a financial success. Funeral services were held last Wednesday in Detroit for Mrs. Beatrice Bilko, daughter of Mrs. Mabel Brumm of Nashville. Mrs. Bilko passed away Sunday, February 18th, in Detroit.

Dressed as Raggady Ann and Andy, Sandy Hulbert of Vermontville and Tom (“Tad”) Davis of Nashville, recently completed a 50 hour, weekend dance marathon in Lansing and, alone, raised over $1,400 for the Michigan Chapter of the Multiple Sclerosis Foundation. The entire event, in which 50 couples participated, netted $91,178. for the charity, tripling the amount raised in a similar competition last year in which Tad and Sandy finished fourth. The recent marathon was sponsored by the Delta-Ta-Delta Fraternity of Michigan State University and was staged at Lansing’s Meridian Mall. The fifty couples began dancing at 4:00*p.m. Friday, February 16, and by the 6:00 p.m. Sunday deadline 42 of them were still on their feet. Contestants were allowed a half-hour rest for every four hours danced, and were not disqualified as long as their feet continued moving. The event was filmed by television stations from Okemos, Detroit and Lansing. Sandy and Tad finished in the top ten; winners were determined by completion of the dance as well as pledges collected from sponsors who paid a certain amount for each hour danced by the couple. Costumes were also judged in a separate competition. The local young couple extends thanks to Maple Valley area merchants and individuals who contributed most of the $1400. they raised for the charity. Sandy, a junior at MVHS, is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Mike Hulbert of Vermontville and Tad, a 1977 MVHS graduate, is the son of Mr. and Mrs. Tim Boucher of Nashville.

The Junior High Class of the Nashville Church of the Nazarene enjoyed a day-long expedition to Chicago last Saturday under the direction of Mr. and Mrs. Robert Her­ man of Nashville. They enjoyed touring the Museum of Science and Industry there, and sightseeing. Received a phone call from Adolph Douse, Jr. in Lakeland, Florida, last week relating some interesting footnotes for some recent “Memories” features. Adolph’s father worked for the Lentz Table Company for thirty-some years, staring in 1908. Adolph, Jr. also worked there the summer of 1926 under unusual circumstances. During the proceeding winter leg surgery was necessary for young Adolph but funds were low. Frank Lentz, a member of the founding family of the table company, befriended the young man and loaned him $130 for the surgery plus the expense of a two-weeks stay in an Ann Arbor Hospital. Next summer, Adolph, Jr. temporarily left his employment at the Furniss and Wotring Drug Store to work at the Lentz TablefCompany to repay Lentz. Adolph recalls he made about 30 cents an hour working in the finishing department. “There were about 150 employees in the Lentz factory at that time,” reports Adolph. And even though Frank was a very busy executive and some thought the family to be tight-fisted, Adolph disagrees. “Frank was a busy man but he had a very good heart,” said Adolph of his benefactor Douse was also able to shed some light on the mysterious newspaper headline in the recent photo of “Ma” Taylor and “her kids”. The 1928 Grand Rapids press headlined “Auto Crash Toll Reaches Three” did have a bearing on Nashville, he says. Three Lake Odessa football players, headed home after a game here, crashed head-on with a southbound car driven by a salesman. A fire ensued. Two boys and the salesman were killed. Adolph went to the scene with local undertaker Ralph Hess to lift the bodies into boxes; the year was 1928. Additional notes from Adolph’s conversation: the man on the right in the “unidentified plumbers” photo is Lyman Baxter, he is sure. And the Dahlhouser Store was not south of the bank, but north of the bank (in the present-day Nash­ ville Auto and Farm Supply store). Prior to that time, it was located where the present-day Hecker Agency is situated. We welcome any additions and corrections to the in­ formation supplied in the “Memories” features. With input from long-time local residents, we hope to insure historical accuracy in the reports to be handed down in future years. The calls and letters are very much appreciated and we thank everyone for their interest in the project. J.B. Cain, father of Mrs. Ahmo Jordan of north M-66, is confined at Pennock Hospital. He was taken there onMonday last week by the Nashville ambulance. The Cains are from Carp Lake and have been wintering with the Jordans. Installation of ceiling, paneling, and shelving was un­ derway last week inside the recent addition to Carl’s Market.

Gordon, of Nashville, has been accepted as an ex­ change student in the Youth For Understanding program, and is eagerly looking forward to the ad­ venture of overseas living. Over 6,000 students a year enjoy the excitement and personal fulfillment of living, learning, and maturing in another country through Youth For Un­ derstanding. Youth For Understanding is a non-profit international student exchange organization which has exchanged more than 55,000 students worldwide. Students aged 14 through 18 can participate in the program and live with a local family in one of 23 countries in Europe, Latin America, the Far East, or Africa for a summer or year. Scholarship monies and other financial aid are still available to qualified students who wish to live and study abroad, according to Youth For Understanding. Full and partial scholarships will be awarded to students with suitable personal and academic qualifications. Low-interest loan funds are also available through the organization. The experience comes at the unique time in life when students have the curiosity, flexibility, and openness of mind to gain maturity and perspective on another country and their own by participating personally in another culture. Youth For Understanding students become regular family members in their overseas country, par- Barry County ‘gearing-up’ for school immunization survey and ‘catch-up’ programThe Barry-Eaton District ict Health Department i in cooperation with local schools, the Michigan Department of Public Health and the Michigan Depart­ ment of Education is working together on a comprehensive program to identify school children who lack protection against Diphtheria, Tetanus, Whooping Cough (Pertussis), Polio, Measles, Mumps and Rubella.

Be sure you have listed near your phone the numbers of your doctor, hospital, poison control, police, fire department and other emergency numbers. Show your children how to find those numbers, hoto to dial them (if they don’t already know), how to call the operator; let them know if 911 can be dialed for fire, medical or police help in your area. Write down your home address near these numbers, too, so your children or your baby-sitter can give it to people who need to find your home in a hurry. (But, for safety’s sake, you should instruct them not to give your address or other information to strangers on the phone.) Your telephone can be a lifesaving help in an emergency.

In most of the Peace Corps countries agricultural volunteers are being requested. Single volunteers or married couples with 4-H leadership skills are currently being sought for the Dominican Republic, Belize, and Eastern Caribbean. In these countries young people are leaving the rural sector for jobs in the urban areas. This is due to the fact that jobs in the urban industrial areas command higher social status and require less arduous work. The result is that valuable farming areas remain un­ worked at a time when food shortages exist and rural development continues at a slow pace 4-H programs are con­ sidered by these countries as a means to encourage young people to stay on the farm and to teach better agricultural practices. Current request for volun­ teers with 4-H leadership skills require skills to per­ form a variety of tasks such as: Organized clubs, give demonstrations, help with 4­ H fairs, train new 4-H organizers, work to establish district 4-H councils, and identify local project support materials. The Peace Corps provides language training, tran­ sportation to and from the host country, health care, living expenses, vacation time, and $3,000 upon completion of two years of service. Peace Corps volunteers may be assigned to rural locations that may or may not have running water and electricity. Motivation is an important factor in volunteer selection due to cultural adjustments and different working conditions. For more information on Peace Corps contact: Peace Corps, Agricultural Recruitment, Room 322, 1 North Wacker Drive, Chicago, Illinois, 60606. SNOWPLOWING Budget Cuts - Governor Milliken will this week recom­ mend budget cuts for the current fiscal year amounting to some 4 percent, due to declining state revenues. Cuts will be across the board except for Mental Health and Corrections programs. Plate Deadline - There is barely a month left for you to get your 1979 license plates if you haven’t already done so. The deadline is April 3; as of mid-February, less than half of Michigan's vehicle owners had purchased their plates. Tax Indexing? A recently-introduced Republican propasal, HB 4113, would tie the state personal income tax exemption to the consumer price index: as inflation drives up prices and wages, your exemption would increase as well. No-Fault Faults - The Senate Commerce Committee will begin hearings this month on revisions to Michigan’s no­ fault insurance law. The Supreme Court said last year the law is conditionally constitutional, provided the legislature makes changes by the end of this year. Court requirements center on fair and reasonable rates, and review for can­ celled policies. Bounties Hunted - Now in the House is SB 40, which would repeal all remaining state bounties. This includes bounties on coyotes, sparrows, crows, starlings and rats; in that respect it goes further than the recently-passed HB 4048, which would repeal coyote bounties only. Elk Oil - The Michigan Supreme Court has permanently banned oil and gas drilling in the Pigeon River Country State Forest. Although there is believed to be a major oil field in the area, the Court said the wells are “likely to pollute, impair or destroy the air, water or other natural resources,” particularly noting the adverse impact on elk, bobcat and bear. Sunset Test - Michigan cattle sellers will vote this month on whether to continue the state Beef Industry Commission. The law creating this Commission specified that such an election be held at this time; if a majority votes to “sunset”, the Commission will be ended. Sculpture Fund - Private contributions are needed for a large outdoor sculpture for the Capitol Complex in Lansing. $100,000 has been raised; $150,000 more is needed. Write Special Commission on Art in State Buildings, in care of Mr. Buckley, DMB, Box 30026, Lansing MI 48909. Loans Up - Michigan college students borrowed a record $61.8 million in 1977-78 under the state guaranteed loan program, which is $16 million more than in 1976-77. Also, the 34,471 loans made represented an increase of 15.2 percent over the previous year. Action-Ads BOARDING DOGS & CATS: Carroll Wells, Phone 726­ 0129.

William Howard Taft was president of the United States and several significant historical events were taking place around the world. Capt. Amundsen, a Norwegian explorer, was leading a year­ long expedition to reach the South Pole. In the USA, the first transcontinental air­ plane flight was made by C P Rogers, who flew from New York to Pasadena with numerous stops. He spent a total of 82 hours -and 4 minutes in the air. And beyond our southern border, a revolution was brewing in Mexico. Newsworthy events were also occuring in Nashville that year, as ex-President Teddy Roosevelt made a whistle-stop at the Michigan Central Railroad Depot in February during a nation­ wide speaking tour. A Republican, Teddy has completed his final presidential term in 1909 and was contemplating can­ didacy as a third-party leader. The following year, he conducted his “Bull Moose” campaign, split the Republican party, and handed an easy victoiy to Democrat Woodrow Wilson. Ornate hats were typical of the era and in this 1911 photo at Putnam Park, a profusion of styles are seen.

Main St., Vermontville Ph. 726-0569 as served both rural and city churches. The largest congregation he pastored was in East Detroit. Although he has been in the ministry for the past thirty years, Putnam did not start out with that profession as his goal in life. Born in Owosso, he studied tool and die making at General Motors Technical Institute in Flint following graduation from high school. His first employment at the Bendix Corporation was interrupted by World War II and a 3-year stint with the U.S. Navy in the South Pacific. Following the war, he attended North Central College in Naperville, Illinois, to earn his bachelor of arts degree in English in 1949. With subsequent studies at the Evangelical Theological Seminary there he obtained his master of divinity degree. Since that time, he has also done graduate work in counseling and guidance at Andrews University at Berrien Springs. In addition to his work in the Lions Club, Putnam has also held positions in Parent­ Teacher organizations; Crippled Childrens Association of Lenawee County; and for five years served as chairman of the United Methodist Conference Commission on Archives and History. While residing in East Detroit, he was honored with an award form the mayor for outstanding service to the community, particularly for his work with the public school systems. Putnam said he hopes the local Lions club may un­ dertake some project “specifically for Nashville”. Lions Clubs throughout the state are active in sup­ porting the Sightmobile Program; the Welcome Home for the Blind in Grand Rapids; the Leader Dogs for the Blind training center in Rochester; Sight Conservation; arid the Michigan Eye Bank program. Putnam suggested eye-testing arid purchasing glasses for lowincome individuals as a possible project for the Nashville club. “We could expand the sight program on a local level,” he commented. Rev. Putnam has six grown children and four grandchildren. His hobbies include reading, sports, and travel. Village Council happenings from frontbids would be left in the spring for a parking area west of the Main Street stores. Ray Hinckley, head of the Riverside Recreational Development eveopmen Corp., orp.,avse advised the council that paving of the village lot will not be inin­ cluded in the Land and' Water Conservation grant currently being sought by tthe RRDC for development of an adjacent recreational area. The grant covers parking for recreational purposes only, not business development, he explained. Students from Mrs. Carpenter's drama class at Maple Valley High School presented an original skit, at Thursday’s Sugaring-Off Program, based on an actual incident that occured in early Vermontville history. The photo depicts a scene when the late Rev. Sylvester Cochrane was apologizing to his parishioners when he discovered that he had gone out to gather maple syrup on the Sabbath, thinking by mistake that it was a work day. The mistake caused much distress among his parishioners, as the story goes. A crowd filled the basement qf the First Congregational Church Thursday evening to par­ ticipate in the annual “Sugaring-Off Program,” sponsored by the Ver­ montville Historical Society. Each person, poised with a small bowl and a spoon, took part in the tradition of making maple candy from hot maple syrup which had been prepared by Mrs. Carl (Fern) Gearhart. In the process, the syrup is heated to a temperature of 236 degrees then allowed to cool down to 150. At that point Mrs. Gearhart and her assistants circulated among the participants and poured the syprup into individual bowls to be stired and stired and stired until it rned to a smooth candy consistency. The mixture then was dropped by spoonfuls onto foil to finalize making bite­ sized pieces of candy. Mrs. Gearhart also demonstrated making maple sugar from syrup and used maple leaf molds to make an interesting-looking product. Two other highlights of the program were a special skit presented and prepared by “Poker Run” Winners 1st prize $20. Steve Cowell; 2nd price-$15. Becky Cowell; 3rd prize-$10.

Wednesday, February 28. 1979 — Page 10 Maplewood third grade class compiles scrapbook of Vermontville history — Students in Mrs. Linda Andres’ third grade class are taking a closer look at what’s downtown in Vermontville these days. As a class project, the students are compiling a scrapbook on the history of Vermontville and its businesses. They are gathering the history of the village by collecting their information first-hand through interviews with people. For this project, Mrs. Andres has been taking several students at a time, during her lunch or free-time periods, to a local business. The children prepare their questions in advance and conduct the interviews themselves. Part of each page in the scrapbook also includes a penciled sketch of the business or building the students had visited. When the students return to the classroom, they write an article based on the in­ formation of the interview and then recheck the ac­ curacy of their story with the source “so we won’t get in trouble,” as one child put it when three of the students, representing the class, displayed the scrapbook at the annual Sugaring-Off Program Thursday. Mrs. Andres has taken photographs to supplement the illustrations for the scrapbook. Each page of the booklet will be laminated and when the project is finished it will have a wooden cover with a maple leaf disign burned into the wood. The scrapbook will be displayed for public viewing at the village museum during Maple Syrup Festival Weekend. The class has about 10 more places to visit before completing the project. Mrs. Andres said the children have really enjoyed the interviewing.“That’s been a real experience for them.

Those who participated are shown working on the scrapbook which features many of the old buildings and present businesses in the village. From left are Rob Cook; Tim Morris, Mrs. Andres and Tim Hull. (Maple Valley News Photos) The project, she said, has given them a greater ap­ preciation of their surroundings and “they’ve taken a greater notice of downtown.” So far the students have learned that the building which houses the- Ver­ montville Hardware is “one of our town’s oldest buildings.” And a page about Jack’s Standard Station says, it “is a reminder of the -past because he still pumps your gas, washes the windows... ” Another page tells about the post office: “Mr. Frith has been the Postmaster since 1967. The present post office was built in 1962. There were two other buildings on the site before the Post Office — the creamery and a bakery. “The bakery burned down in the ‘40’s. The new Post Office building is the only building ever built for the Post Office in Vermontville. “The first postmaster was Dewey Robinson. The Post Office was in his house oh West Main Street,” the book says. When the class scrapbook project is completed, each child will make his own book which will be displayed in the room during Michigan Week when students also will present a play related to Vermontville history.

High scorer for the Lions was James Hunter with 30 points. Next was J.D. Hill with 22, then Levi Johnson with 20. The Alumni consisted of 15 players: Mike and Steve Hamilton, Mike Fox, Mike Tefft, Duane McDonald, Mark and Pete Benton, Dare Halsey, Robert and Kevin Rost, Cart and Jan Benedict, Tony Phenix, Mike Meade, and Merle Martin. High scorer for the Alumni was Robert Rost with 18 points. Next was Tony Phenix with 15, then Pete Benton with 12. At half time the Alumin lead Detroit 53-44. During half time, the Lions signed autographs for 15 minutes. They then warmed up and the second half began, but (in nd way resembled the first half) by the end of the game, the Detroit Lions had 108 points to the Alumni’s 97. With 12 seconds left in the game, Danielson called a time out and booth benches emptied. The ball was placed at midcourt; the Alumni formed a defensive align­ ment and the Lions went into on offensive haddle. They then went into a field goal kicking alignment.* The ball was snapped and Danielson kicked the basketball. There was a penalty called which was off sides against the Alumni. The penalty was declined, -but then, before anything else could happen, there was anillegal for­ mation called by Danielson, agianst the Alumni for having “too many white guys on the court”. They lined up for another try; only this time Danielson was holding the ball. There was a fake kick and J.D. Hill went around the end, received a pass, and scored the last two points of the game. The style of play used by the Lions was comical in that they included the referees, trick shots, and fans from the audience. The Maple Valley Athletic Boosters would like to thank everyone for their help and for coming to this rather novel event. to pursue the fleeing auto as it sped south on M-66 at speeds reported to be over 90 miles per hour. In the meantime, Barry County and Eaton County Sheriffs Departments were carrying on rapid radio transmission, keeping track of the chase and requesting Calhoun County law en­ forcement agencies to send police units north to in­ tercept the speeding car. However, about eight miles south of Nashville, the driver turned west on Lacey Road. The Eaton County and Nashville police continued the chase, still “hot on his trail.” About a mile-and-a-half west of Lacey the driver, according to authorities, pulled into a short driveway near a residence and ditched his car, vaulted a farm gate and fled on foot across the open fields. Other police units, dispatched from various locations during the chase, soon converged on the scene to aid the Eaton County and Nashville units. A cordon was established around the area by police units blocking roads running into the vicinity to deter the possibility of the suspect hitching a ride with an un­ suspecting motorist Canine tracking units were brought in and, within twoand-a-half hours of the time the chase began, the suspect was in police custody. On the scene were police units from Bedford; Prairieville Township; two from the Barry County Sheriff's Department; two from Eaton County; two from the Michigan State Police post, and the Nash­ ville unit. One Barry County Sheriff’s Dept, cruiser, responding to the call for help, became disabled enroute when it developed engine trouble. According to Eaton County Sheriff’s Department of­ ficials, the subject, a 21 year old Vermontville man, is expected to face arraign­ ment Monday in 56th District Court in Charlotte on charges of driving while his license was suspended, reckless driving, and fleeing and eluding a police officer. Neighborhood Watch Program to be implemented in the Vermontville area soonAt a meeting of the Ver­ montville Village Council, citizens, and Eaton County Sheriffs Officers, it was decided that a “Neigh­ borhood Watch Program” should be started in the Village as a result of continuing problems that have plaqued our Community. Chairpersons to head the forming of this program are Mr. and Mrs. Harold O’Dell of the Sugar Hut Cafe. The purpose ofa March 8th meeting is to set up the organization and to make our citizens aware of the methods that will be used, etc. Mr. Stockenhuer and Mr. Pat Dotson of our “Crime Prevention Unit” will be there to help plan this program. We urge the Public to attend to make themselves aware of these problems and as concerned citizens to help in their solutions. The March 8th meeting will be held at 7 p.m. in the Sugar Hut Cafe Vermontville girl scouts take on operation clean-sweep" at historical opera house- Vermontville area girl scouts spent a recent Saturday at the Vermontville Opera House renovating the woodwork in the old structure as part of the community's restoration project. This group, which was part of approximately 30 scouts and their mothers were (from left): Nicki Tyler of Troop No. 153, Cheryl McClure of Troop No. 108, Michelle Trowbridge of Troop No. 205, Jody Aiken of Troop No. 244, and Linda Schippel of Troop No. 313. The girls used an old-time cleaning agent obtained from a long-time village resident which contained equal parts of turpentine, boiled linseed oil, and cider vinegar. Over 30 Vermontville Girl Scouts and several adults got out their polishing cloths and cleaners on a recent Saturday to tackle their part of a cumniunity cleaning project at the historical Vermontville Opera House. “Operation Cleansweep’’ is the title-of spring cleaning projects adopted by both the Michigan Capitol Girl Scout Council and Michigan United Conservation Clubs, and the local Vermontville scouts got an early start with their job of tackling the dirt, grime, and clutter inside the Opera House. The scouts, along with with two other groups, are at­ tempting to prepare the old building for community use again. Lately, the Opera House only has been used for township elections, but with its big stage area, good smooth floor, and ticket window, it could be put to many other uses as in the past. With help from the Ver­ montville Historical Society, Drift Skippers Snowmobile Club and the Girl Scouts, the building will soon be func­ tional again. Those who are interested in renovating the structure for more extensive community use are hoping that more local organizations will volunteer their help in the total project too. During the recent cleaning session, xthe scouts and adults polished the wain­ scoting woodwork and washed windows in the Opera House. The girs used an old-time polish for the woodwork obtained from a long-time village resident. The polish contained equal parts of turpentine, boiled linseed oil, and cider vinegar. Scouts who participated in the clean-up were Linda Schippel, Audrey Dumont, Susan Lightner, Evett Nichols, Tina Schriver, Kelly Bachelder, Deana Hampton, Dawn Hampton, Billie Nichols, Jodi Aiken, Kristen Royston, Kerri Yeadon, Betsy Lightner, Julie Bogart, Jenny Fisher, Chris Gardner, Michelle Trowbridge, Cathy Trumble, Wendy Wyskowski, Cheryl McClure, Amy Youngs, Vicky Swift, Nicki Tyler, Melissa Strong, Sue Strong, Tammy Rugg, Janie Schippel, Marie Trowbridge, Bobbie Butcher’, and Margorie Schippel. At present, the Opera House contains,many of the old original theater seats which are showing the wear and tear of much use, but because they are the original seats they will be saved for possible future restoration. One hundred new folding chairs have been purchased from the profits from the craft show at the Maple Syrup Festival and are expected to arrive soon. �The Maple Valley Newt, Nashville, Wednesday, March 7,1979 — Page 2 Nashville News With an ominous roar giving only brief warning, great chunks of ice slid off village roofs during last week’s war­ ming trend. In some cases, the resulting crash broke win­ dows below as ea vestroughs were torn away at a few homes. Fortunately no one was injured in the downfall. The hazard lessened considerably after last week, but residents should keep a careful watch* until melting is complete. Small children, dogs and cats are especially vulnerable as they may linger while passing through doorways under iceburdened eaves. George B. Dean, who suffered a serious arm injury in a nasty spill on the ice last month, is still carrying his arm in a sling. Though he will be 95 in May, George is getting out every day and progressing rapidly,” he reports. Mrs. Rena Dawson, of Nashville, mother of Earl Blake, is confined at Leila Hospital in Battle Creek. She had been hospitalized over a week at this writing. Mrs. Donald (Loretta) Pixley of Thornapple Lake Road will entertain the United Methodist Women for a 9 a.m. gathering at her home Wednesday morning, March 7th. Mrs. Will (Beth) Suntken of Nashville will provide the program, “Supportive Community.” Monday, March 12th, Mrs. Adah Steele of Nashville will entertain the Edith Parks Circle of the United Methodist Church at her home for a 1:00 p.m.' meeting. Refreshments will be served. The UMC Rebecca Circle will meet that evening, at 7:30 p.m., at the church Community House. All four members of Nashville’s Department of Public Works crew are taking training of various sorts this month. Last Thursday and Friday, Arden Schantz and Tim Smith attended an “Inspector’s Workshop” in Grand Rapids. The sessions, held at the Hoffman House there, were sponsored by the Southern Michigan Public Works Forum and trained the men for inspection duties which will be necessary when Nashville’s proposed sewer project gets underway. Starting this week Tuesday, Leon Frith, DPW Supervisor, will begin a 3-day “lagoon school”, sponsored by the state’s Depart­ ment ofNatural Resources, at Gull Lake. Leon’s schooling is also related to the proposed sewer project. The third week of March, Larry Corkwell will be at Michigan State University in East Lansing for a week-long basic lab course, where he will receive training required toward earning his Sewer Operator’s license. Larry’s classes are also sponsored by the Michigan DNR. Last Monday’s eclipse of the sun darkened the sky at mid­ day to an unnatural shade. Approximately 80 percent of the sun was blocked by the moon. Since the next eclipse in North America is not expected for another 39 years, it was the last such phenomena many of us will see. The last Sunday in February marked the final Family Month event for the Nashville Baptist Church, with honors going to various grandparents in attendance at morning worship. Mrs. Flossie King, 82, of Vermontville was the oldest grandparent present and Emery Bennett, 33, of Nash­ ville was the youngest. Grandparents traveling the farthest distance to attend the service were Glen and Lucille Beck of Flint. And the oldest person in church that day was Edna Davis, 96, of Charlotte. “Grandparent’s Sunday” concluded an inspirational and fun-filled month for the Baptists as they observed special Sundays also honoring in-laws, sweethearts, and children.

Wayne also tapped the first week of March last year and was about the first in the area to start, despite the hinderance of bitter cold and high snowbanks which hampered the 1978 season. Ice and snow are a problem again this year, reports Mrs. Pennock, but there has been a “fair run” so far. The Pennocks are always on hand at Vermontville’s Syrup Festival to display and sell their sweet maple produce. No doubt about it—March came in like a lamb. That must mean the lion is hiding nearby. Keep your snow shovels handy! Clare Wright of Nashville was featured in several news stories and photos lately as he participated in a recent fiddlers’Jamboree in Hastings. Over thirty musicians per­ formed during the festival sponsored by, the Original Michigan Fiddlers Association in the Community Building at the Barry County Fairgrounds.

A recent letter from Don Hinderliter, a former village resident now of Battle Creek, brightened our day. Don, popular editor and publisher of The Nashville News from 1941 to 1956, subscribes to the Maple Valley News and says he has been enjoying the Nashville News column for some time. “It is good to read about people I remember fondly, and would not otherwise know about,” Don wrote. It’s a pleasure to write for folks like Don, and we hope in some small way it repays him for his “Backstreet Barometer” and other writings which brought joy to Nashville readers for many years. Incidentally, Don’s letter furnished some interesting remembrances of the old Nashville News office which aided a “Memories” feature already outlined for this week’s issue. How’s that for perfect timing!

She was 82 years of ageand had lived in Nashville the past 38 years, moving here from Lansings. Twenty-six days of sunshine, out of 27 days of vacation, blessed a recent California journey taken by Mr. and Mrs. Ben (Thelma) Mason of Mason Road. They were ac­ companied on the trip by Thelma’s mother,, Mrs. Bertie Johnson. First south to Memphis, then west to Phoenix and San Diego, was their route. At Phoneix they called on Ben’s parents, John and Ethel Mason, and saw other relatives in Arizona. In California, they visited Thelma’s son, Michael London, a former local resident now of San Diego, and also had an opportunity to see son Riley London, stationed with the U.S. Marine Corp, at Camp Pendleton, California. During their travels, the Masons only used their windshield wipers about 15 minutes, Thelma reports. Truly beautiful weather, indeed. Mrs. Elsie Ramsey of rural Nashville has been under the weather lately, suffering with bronchitis, and was confined at home for five days. Last week’s patching of pot holes on Reed Street by the village DPW crew was much appreciated by local motorists who have become very adept at dodging the hazardous spots. The recent warm spell allowed the crew to spread two loads of hot patch on various village streets suffering from winter damage. Mrs. Elizabeth Curtis of Nashville was honored recently when Mr. and Mrs. Peter Klunt and Mr. and Mrs. Arnold Copp, all of Lansing, arrived to take her to Sunday dinner at the Steakhouse.

Wednesday, March 7, 1979 — Page 4 Mock election gives Kellogg School students a first hand view of the political processEver hear of two political parties called the Coffin Kickers and the Vampires? Well, at Nashville’s Kellogg School last week, the Coffin Kickers and the Vampires vied to see which political party could capture the most votes in a mock election. The event was planned by sixth grade teacher Steve Slag to give students an opportunity to 'experience the political processes of choosing elected officials. For the mock election, students selected the name of Transylavania for the mythical town where the election would take place. Students also decided upon the names of the two political parties and which governmental offices to fill in the election. The mock election was a first time event for the school and the entire student body had an opportunity to participate by going through the proper procedures of an actual simulated election. A drive for voter registrations was held prior to the mock-election Friday. Here Mike Barnhart is shown registering for the election with assistance from Lynette Williams (left) and Sarah Curtis. Patty Sprague casts her ballot in the mock-election. A total of 126 registered to vote (including teachers and other employees). Posters were ifiade by the students to serve as election notices and a voter registration drive was held resulting in 126 eligible voters including the faculty and other members of the school staff. Eight candidates, two from each of the makebelieve political parties, were selected to run for the four offices in the mock election. Candidates for the Vampires were Kyle Christopher who ran for mayor; Chuck Elliston, sheriff; Valerie Bell, secretary-treasurer; and Sara Curtis, judge. The Coffin Kickers slate included Daniel Lykins, candidate for mayor; Tim Symonds, sheriff; Sheila Staskus, secretarytreasurer; and Fred Wagner, judge. Before the election, the candidates each had an opportunity to give cam­ paign spiels at an assembly of the student body. > Prior to the election, eight independent polls were taken to try to estimate the out­ come of the election so each party could find its weaknesses and know if they should use persuasion to try to swing voters to their side. On the day of the voting, students took turns checking to verify that potential voters were registered before they were allowed to cast ballots. Two students even voted by absentee ballots because they knew that they would be absent that day. Students enthusiastically participated in the election and gained a better insight into how the wheels of the political process turn. The event supplemented a social studies unit which in­ troduced students to dif­ ferent types of government like a Republic. On Friday, mock election day, 110 votes were cast from a possible 126 registered voters. Dan Lykins was elected mayor, Chuck Elliston, sheriff; Valerie Bell, secretary-treasurer; and Sarah Curtis, judge. Tom Leinhart is set to deposit his ballot into the ballot box. Students took turns working at "the polls" and Heidi Braden (left) is shown as she performs her job of folding the ballots with Valerie Bell whose job was handing out the ballots to registered voters.

By Susan Hinckley More than a century ago, a slighty-built but fiery young lad of 19 passed through Nashville, liked what he saw of the newly-incorporated village, and tarried long enough to start a tradition of weekly news that continues today. In October 1873, Orno Strong published the first issue of the Nashville News, forerunner of the presentday Maple Valley News. Strong, who tipped the scales at only 130 pounds, wrote in a colorful but blunt style that brought him widespread praise and physical harassment in his 15-year tenure as editor and publisher of the News. “The best and most suc­ cessful manager of a country newspaper in the whole state of Michigan is Orno Strong of Nashville,” reported the Eaton Rapids Journal in 1880. “In six yeas he has increased the circulation of his paper, the News, from 240 to 1248 ...” The Bellevue Gazette agreed: “Brother Strong is making a good paper and one that is making its way to the families all over Barry County. . . Our neighbor is simply winning success by deserving it.” And, accolades from the Charlotte Tribune the same year: “The News is one of the best country papers published in Michigan and bears the impress of success Research produces in every issue. It is a credit site of the old Nashville to the genius and energy of News office on Maple Street. its editor, Orno Strong, and a Orno Strong was responsible splendid advertisement of for having a two-room frame the thrift and enterprise of schoolhouse transported the village which sustains from the present-day Kellogg School site to Maple it.” Even the Vermontville Street for use as a news Hawk offered tenuous praise ^-office.

I lost it that same winter, but discovered it outdoors after the snow melted in the spring. When I picked up the watch and wound it, it began working - much to my sur­ prise,” he adds. Feighner sold the paper to A.B. McClure in 1928. He operated it for three years, then sold it to Willard and Mary. Gloster. They published the paper through ten lean depression years before selling it to Hinderliter in 1941. Well-known and - colorful publishers notwithstanding, the real “‘Mr. Nashville News” was the late C.O. “Ab” Mason. Ab started working for Feighner the summer of 1908 and con­ tinued with the News in various capacities until shortly before his death in 1956. He was considered a “first class all-around printer” by both Feighner and his successors and “also the most conscientious and faithful helper a publisher could hope to find,” wrote Hinderliter just prior to Ab’s death. During his 48 years with the News he ran the back room for four different publishers and at Ab’s death Hinderliter wrote of him: “He was more intelligent, better read, and better versed in every phase of the newspaper business than hundreds of individuals who smugly call themselves newspaper edi-tors. ” Ab, more than any Other in­ dividual, had been responsible for the continued publication of Nashville’s newspaper, Hinderliter said, and he felt much of the fun and flavor of running a newspaper ended with Ab’s death. Shortly thereafter Hinderliter sold the paper to John and Amy Boughton of Adrian. The Boughtons later acquired the, Vermontville Echo, changed the name of the combined paper to the Maple Valley News and in 1975 sold it to J-Ad Graphics, Inc. of Hastings. But today, each weekly issue of the News, keeps alive Orno Strong’s 1873 dream of a newspaper for Nashville, - a town he described then as “a flourishing city on the banks of the Thornapple where now 1,000 call their home.” Friends” plan two tours of Putnam LibraryBy Susan Hinckley children’s fears and resulted in increased library usage by A tour of Putnam Public them, she explained. “Public Library will highlight the schools are very supportive March and April meetings of of similar projects which Nashville’s newly-formed “Friends of the Library.” may include lectures and various other educational Plans for the tour, designed presentations sponsored by for persons interested in ‘Friends of the Library’,” learning more about the Mrs. Keitzmann told the library and the organization, group.

Each week, until the end of the school year, there will be two students selected from Fuller and one from Kellogg. Selection of < the “good citizens" is made by individual classroom teachers on a rotating basis After all the classroom's have had a turn, the format will be repeated to allow others to strive for the "Citizenship Award.” For the honor, teachers will be evaluating students on continuing good conduct not only in the classroom but in the lunchroom and on the playground as well.) l 8S until ll8S 5"*i> "*i> fat 1 fritffuT fitffT Wy® MrtiW ^teynik ^tenik torM(trai feafeeijj adatAb’ideni) feafeeijj tl i j 'Miiui ®® intelligent, luting and belltr wfeoffeiMith iilttlllllsjlKi t__a_U,,iqi iqi tastlies Hi*,, ।, r efitors."

Lisa, daughter of Max and Arlene Endsley of Evart Road in Nashville, is the “good citizen" from Mrs. Pam Hunt’s third grade class at Fuller Street School. Mrs. Hunt said Lisa was chosen for citizen of the week because “she displays good school behavior, works hard on all her school assign­ ments, enjoys being with other people and having fun, and shows good sport­ smanship in game activities. She takes an active interest in what we do in school and likes to participate." Eight-year old Lisa will celebrate her next birthday March 31. Her favorite subject is math with gym taking a close second. She likes to play softball, enjoys swimming, and hopes to learn how to play tennis this summer. Painting-bynumbers is another favorite activity, and she is involved in the MS Repd-a-thon. First grader Brad Ash­ craft is the citizen of the week in Mrs. Claudette Edly’s class at Fuller Street School. He is the son of Margaret and Raymond Ashcraft of S. Clark Road in Nashville. In citing Brad for the award, Mrs. Edly com­ mented that one of his “outstanding qualities-is his wholesome attitude in schoolroom related activities." She also said, “He cheerfully carries out his class duties with great pride and relates well with his peers.” Brad, 7, likes to roller skate, collect rocks, and told his class that “I like to run to keep my legs exercised. His favorite school subject is reading. Carol Lamie, a fifth grader in Mr. Manuel Smith's room at Kellogg School, has been named for the citizenship award from her class. Carol, 10, is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Dennis Lamie of Main Street in Nashville. Mr. Smith said Carol’s traits of an outstanding citizen are that she “is always co-operative, courteous, and friendly. She is always willing to help out around the classroom." Her favorite subjects in school are reading and math. Other interests Carol enjoys are roller skating and writing stories.

Main 726-0569 — VERMONTVILLE — | of farmers, to modify a poet’s phrase, but this year farmers who raise cash crops are still trying to decide what to plant. Outlook for our main cash crop, corn, is sluggish. Burdened by two hugh crop yields in a row, the carryover of corn appears to be enough to hold prices down around or below the loan level. Yet, given a mediocre crop year and increased foreign exports or a sudden switch to alcohol for energy fuels, we could see as-much as a dollar a bushel increase in corn prices. Wishful thinking? Probably, but the potential is there. The white bean outlook is even more obscure. A referendum vote is now being taken to see whether or not farmers want a Michigan Bean Commission. Don’t forget to vpte on this issue. If you sold beans in 1978, not whether you grew them, is the determination if you can vote or not. A “yes” vote is a vote to end the Bean Commission. If you need a ballot, they are available at the Extension office. With or without the Bean Commission, the prices received by farmers will depend on total supply raised this year and that’s anybodys guess. A new cash crop may be available for our area this year. There will be a market for oil-seed sunflowers this year. Two companies will be lookingg for acreage g. in 1979. The return from sunflowers could be better than corn but a little less than soybeans if present prices continue. With spring upon us, farmers will have to be deciding quickly where they are heading. But right now frustration is the word. Need invitations? See the large selection at The Reminder Office. Senator Richard Allen The Senate Appropriations Committee recently spent two days listening to a number of economists from Michigan’s private cor­ porations and public universities. We got some interesting advice. For instance, the President of Bendix Cor­ poration made a strong case against Michigan joining other states that have already passed resolutions calling for a national con­ stitutional convention to consider an amendment requiring a balanced federal budget. I thought businessmen were conservative and would favor balancing the budget, didn’t you? Not so of. Bendix’s President. He feels that there are Mmes when reducing expenditures or raising taxes to the extent necessary to balance the budget would'be extremely detrimental to the economy. -The issue is more complex than it sounds on the surface-with our nation’s, and to some extent the world’s, money supply tied somewhat to out national debt.

Ph. 726-0569. money supply through an increase in debt beyond the expansion of goods and services is inflationary, expanding it less would be deflationary. And, while part of our inflation is no doubt a result of federal* deficits, there is widespread agreement that this is not the major course. high energy costs stand at the top of the list of causes of current inflation in two ways. First, of course, oil and energy are basic components of most everything we buy and use and, thus, contribute to their costs. Secondly, our national unwillingness to limit oil imports by price, rationing or other methods has resulted in a massive dollar outlfow and a depreciation in its value. Thus, everything we import-from coffee to tincosts more and adds to in­ flation. Most of the testimony at these sessions was designed to aid us in estimating Michigan’s economic future. Why is this so important to our Appropriations Com­ mittee? Because a correct estimation of the near-term future is vital to our creating a balanced state budget. We must estimate (guess at?) the overall national economy, but with particular emphasis on Michigan. Local distortions have great effects. For instance, a bad year for Chrysler has significant effects on our budget. It decreases our tax revenues, of course, but even more, it increases our costs. Welfare rolls go up and so do enrollments at Wayne State University. (It’s been in­ teresting to me that college enrollment relates inversely to job availability-no job, well, I might as well go to college.) When you stop to realize how far ahead we budget, it is amazing we come as close to balancing as we do. The budget we are working on now runs from October 1, 1979 to September 30, 1980. One optimistic note from our hearings. Michigan’s economy has been doing well compared to the nation’s for the past three years. One surprising note. Most of the economists have listed the Single Business Tax Xwhich replaced Michigan’s previous business taxes) as one of the reasons for Michigan’s better business climate.

(3-7) Nashville News continued— Correction on the “hats” photo in last week’s “Memories” story: the Walrath girl should have been identified as Leah Walrath. (She had a sister named Ilah). Leah is now Mrs. Partridge, lives in Flint, and enjoys receiving the Maple Vallpy Npws each week. We. received several phone calls clarifying the identity, but Mrs. Helen Hecker was the first call and said she never remembers Leah wearing a hat (and in the photo, she has none, though surrounded by friends wearing bountiful creations.) Helen chummed with some of the young ladies in the picture, though most were older than she. Helen said she also had a monstrous-sized hat, so huge she had to turn sideways to pass through a doorway when wearing it. Leah, incidentally, was a daughter of the late Hiram Walrath, a well-known community resident in­ strumental in directing an early village band that performed weekly concerts in Putnam Park. The Walraths lived for 60 years in the house presently occupied by the Jack Dawsons. Thanks to all those who called with information on the “Memories” story. Mrs. Margaret Sackett of Nashville enjoyed a recent Sunday visit from her niece and her husband, Virginia and Don Randolph of Lansing. Mrs. Edith Flannery was in Battle Creek Sunday to call on her sister, Mrs. Norabelle MacKenzie, at Level Park. Bill Jenkins, a former Nashville resident now Fenton, underwent open heart surgery last week at St. Mary’s Hospital in Flint, and is doing well at this report. Bill is a brother to Mrs. Donald (Phyllis) Skedgell and Mrs. Herbert (Ada) Yaudes, both of Nashville, and is a schoolteacher at Fenton. Senior citizens, 60 years of age or older, in the Nashville community are invited to join the Senior Citizens Nutrition Site program, advises site supervisor Diedra Sprinkle. There are presently some openings in the nutrition program which provides weekday noon meals and transportation to and from the site for local senior citizens. The only requirement is that interested seniors stop in at the Masonic Temple site to register with Mrs. Sprinkle if they are in­ terested in joining the program. Mrs. Sprinkle also reminds all senior citizens in the community that special events at the site are open to them, even if they are not members of the nutrition program. Various speakers and programs are featured each Monday following noon meal, and Mrs. Sprinkle credits Mrs. Verna Frederick for turning up some very interesting and in­ formative programs each week, which have been enjoyed by all those in attendance. Diebra has expressed thanks to Verna on behalf of all the Nashville Site Senior Citizens for her exceptional accomplishment. Mrs. Edna Gibbons of Nashville wishes to report that the Nashville Site Senior Citizens are now enjoying tran­ sportation in a new 12-passenger bus and appreciate their driver, Wayne Tolliver of Hastings, who faithfully picks them up and delivers them safely home each day.

March 7,1979 — Page 11 Feeding and attracting wildlife by Warren J. Cook, County Extension Director w £ W'%. x s S- RftMUMlMW A^winter like this year’s, with its heavy snowfall and bitter cold, means wildlife must struggle to survive. You can help by turning your backyard into a wildlife sanctuary. ■ “Wildlife need food, cover and water to survive. If you provide this habitat, you will see how wild animals live, behave, reproduce and die, and you will learn how wildlife depend on habitat for survival,” says Glenn R. Dudderar, Extension wildlife specialist at Michigan State University. Attract wildlife to your backyard by supplying these three essentials: food, cover and water. One way you can provide food is by planting a variety of grasses, flowers, shrubs and trees. But you don’t really need to plant anything. If you just leave a part of your backyard alone, food-producing ducing grasses, weeds and flowers will gradually grow there.. These same areas also provide cover for animals. This cover provides protection from the elements and places to rest and raise young. You can also sup­ plement existing cover by building nesting boxes and houses. Water aermus must usuay usually bee provided artifically. Bird baths, which come in a wide variety of forms, will do the job well. You can’t very well plant for food and cover right now. But you can set up feeding stations for birds. Many types and styles of feeders are available. Suet, seed cakes, peanut butter, sunflower seeds, fruits and various grains all make good food. Birds require’grit to digest food, so you might want to provide coarse sand or ground-up clam or oyster shells, too. Feeders attract not only birds, but also small mammals like rabbits and squirrels. You can also at­ tract these mammals by putting out blocks or rock salt. The important thing to remember when you are Mr. and Mrs. Rex Pennington, 3155 Jordan Rd., Freeport are proud to announce the engagement of their daughter Rachel Lynn, to Robert David Curtis Nashville, son of Mr. and Mrs. Robert Curtis.

The U.S. Treasury Department in the face of the largest volume of public comment ever logged against a pen­ ding Federal action - has withdrawn its proposed firearms regulations - a move hailed by the National Rifle Association as “a clear victory for every citizen who believes in individual privacy.” The announcement of the withdrawal of the fireams regulations - which would have required commputerized records of every firearms transaction made through any of the 120,000 Federally licensed gun dealers - came during budget roarings before the House Appropriations committee’s Treasury subcommittee. That subcommittee had initiated the $4.2 million fund cut enacted into law last summer, a cut which prohibited the Treasury Department’s Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms (BATF) from spending any funds to im|plement the computerized records scheme in the current budget.

(Maple Valley News photo) Vermontville ‘Neighborhood Watch Program’ explainedThis week I’m devoting my column to a problem our community has and some ways to help solve them. Thursday night I attended a lecture on the “Neigh­ borhood Watch Program” at the Sugar Hut Cafe. The program involves involvement. We have a problem with quite a few things. One is stray dogs. Please keep your dog under control. Either keep him tied up or in a fenced-in area. If you’re walking your dog either keep him under control or better yet, on a leash. If your dog is not under control he can be picked up by the Animal Control Of­ ficer or worse yet if he is a vicious dog he can be shot. Second is hot rodders. If you see anyone speeding near your residence, take down the license plate number and report it. But don’t stop there. Sign a complaint. Without it the police can’t do anything. Third is that there is a village curfew. Children should observe this curfew and parents should try to enforce it. The curfew is 10:00 p.m. for anyone under the age of sixteen. There are now patrol of­ ficers in our area during the, prime crime times. They are during the hours of 4:00 p.m. to 3:00 a.m., Tuesday through Saturday. You can call the Crime Prevention Unit to have an officer come into your home and do a safety check. They will give you pointers on what kind of locks to use, on what kind of lighting is adequate, and more. You can also help your neighbors. Keep an eye on their house while they are on vacation or working or at school. Report anyone that you know shouldn’t be around. And follow up on it. During the lecture pamplets were handed out. One was the “Neighborhood Watch Manual”, the other was “Security Notes and Recommendations”. You can pick these pamplets up at area businesses. You can go one step fur­ ther. You can become in­ volved.

In the early morning the local firefighters were called to Davenport Road to assist the Woodland Fire Department in battling a house fire that originated in a chimney area. Damage was sustained in the attic area and the ceiling of the second story. The family had gotten out of the house safely, after the fire alarm on a smoke detector had sounded. Shortly after 3 p.m., the local fireman were again called north of town to a barn fire at the Clark Miller residence on Bayne Road. The Woodland Fire Department had first been summoned to the blaze and they called Nashville, as it was in' the NFD territory. Both departments, plus a tanker from the Hastings Fire Department, battled the flames for three hours but the barn was a total loss. Also lost were three sows and about 30 piglets, plus some equipment including two motorcycles. Heat lamps being used for the young pigs^pparently caused the fire. The back portion of the Miller residence, a cement block structure located quite close to the small barn, also sustained some damage. A back porch was burned and there was some scorching of the home, plus smoke damage. The Nashville firemen were forced to take a detour enroute to the blaze when they found Bayne Road impassable dtie to flooding from our recent thaw. The banks of the Thornapple River are rapidly being covered as the water level rises due to recent thawing. By mid-week the water had risen to Water Alley (just south of the old Riverside Feed Mill) and the spillway near the dam was overflowing. Access to the house adjacent to the river (west of the alley) was possible only by rowboat or waders. Quaker Brook has also risen considerably. Rev.

By Susan Hinckley The lessons of nature were an important part of lear­ ning for early scholars at the old Quailtrap School south of Nashville. Trout swam in a brook that meandered through the property, and watercress and wildflowers grew in profusion nearby. A flowing spring provided drinking water for a time, and once, in observance of Arbor Day, students set young maple trees along the front of the property. Now over 70 years old, the maples still stand in front of the old schoolhouse (now a private residence). In its’ heyday, the Quailtrap School (located on South Clark Road just north of the Cloverdale Road in­ tersection) was probably the best known school in Maple Grove Township. Not only was it the first public school in the township, it had a most unique name. In an era when country schools were ususally tagged with family names, a legend had evolved around the strange label assigned the school in District No. 1. “It seems that the teacher forgot to close the windows when going home after school one day and upon arriving the next school session there was a flock of quail in the building. Hence the name Quailtrap”, reports former resident and Quailtrap scholar Wayne Fuller, now of Toledo. An 1880 “History of Barry and Allegan Counties” furnished by Fuller’s cousin, Mrs. Wilma (Fuller) DeCamp of Nashville, gives a slightly different but compatible explanation. “The first schoolhouse was built on Section 25 and was known as the Quailtrap from the fact that some en-' terprising lads found it a convenient rendezvous in Unidentified young lads enjoy a game of "skip rope" in a 1926 photo of the Quailtrap School taken by teacher Helen Kinne Huwe.

The building, con­ tinues the writer, was subsequently removed and a “new and more spacious edifice substituted” on Section 24 of Maple Grove Township. At the time the book was written, the towhship had “nine framed schools” with 384 students instructed by 18 teachers, four of whom were men. Total yearly payroll for the teaching staff was $1253. Township schools were of “comfortable but but un­ pretentious proportions” and in 1880 “total resources of the township for educational purposes had reached the sum of $2080.” the report added. The Quailtrap School was a far cry from the first attempt to educate township youngsters when in 1840 Emma and Maria Mott, daughters of the prominent land-owner John Mott, started a school in their SECOND 4NNUN.

Six scholars were enrolled in the first session and the number did not increase greatly during its brief existence. By 1880 Maple, Grove Township had been divided into six whole and three fractional school districts governed by the following board of directors: William G. Brooks; A. P. Jarrard; Frank Fuller; C. R. Palmer; John Hinckley; M. H. Palmer; John Day; Y. J. Cassell Nd Henry Troyer. “There are about 32 students when I started school at the Quailtrap in 1908,” recalls Lloyd Wilcox ofNashville, who walked two miles to attend. Miss Ora Monroe was the teacher then. Wilcox remembers drinking water from the spring behind the school. some children “When some became ill, the water was suspected and for a few years drinking water was obtained from the Fuller place across the road,” he adds “but around 1912 a well was driven at the school.” Mrs. Bea (Herrington) Penfold of Nashville was also an early Quailtrap scholar and helped in the Arbor Day tree planting project. Bea started at­ tending school there in 1906 and remembers that about 1910 William Ayers was to move hired the schoolhouse to more level ground. Wilcox also remembers this move, about 150 feet to the south, but neither knows exactly what prompted the relocation. Bea also walked nearly two miles to school. “We left our lunch pails in the entryway,” she remembers “and in the wintertime our lunches would often be frozen by noon.” During lunch hour the children would also carry wood from a shed nearby to burn in the Round Oak stove used to heat the schoolhouse. > Bea also recalls the pranks of young lads. “Sometimes the boys would find leeks growing in the woods behind the school and eat them, which resulted in their being sent home for the day by the teacher because of the ofof­ fensive odor,” she reminisces. Bea remembers a favorite teacher, Johnny Bowman, who lived in Nash*n t*le Present-day Boldrey home. Bowman was an effective but popular instructor. Quaker Brook ran near the school property and a small tributary which Wilcox knew as “Kinney Creek” provided ample entertainment for the young boys who enjqyed chasing trout in the stream. “On May 1st, opening day of trout season, the place was crowded with fishermen from Battle Creek,” Wilcox recalls. Mrs. Melissa (DeBolt) Showalter of Nashville started school at the Quailtrap in 1902. She remembers a drinking water pail in the entryway and a “community dipper” used by all students. “About 1905 all the schoolchildren and their parents gathered at our home for a picnic,” Melissa relates, “It was quite an event.” As the years progressed, and more schools were added in the township, enrollment at the Quailtrap grew smaller. Mrs. Helen (Kinne) Huwe, who taught school there from 1926 to 1928, had 26 pupils. Helen boarded with the Fuller family across the road form the schoolhouse. A woodburning stove still heated the premises and an eighth-grader (high school age students continued their education in town) split kindling on his lunch hour. Water was still pumped by hand but students had in­ dividual tin drinking cups. By the early 1940’s the Quailtrap Schooll was con­ solidated with Nashville’s public school system and the historic old schoolhouse stood idle. Today, minus its’ ornate belfry, the structure serves as a private residence. But memories of the past dwell in the shade of the now-large maples, planted so many years ago by Bea Herrington and her classmates as a tribute to Arbor Day.

Speaking to the council were Bruce Cooper, engineer, and Pasty Clark, director of public information, representatives of Williams and Works Engineering firm of Grand Rapids. Mrs. Clark told the council they should provide the fullest and most correct information possible on the project so that “ballots will be cast on full information.” She explained that xall village residents should receive the same in­ formation at the same time, rather than in bits and pieces which may not be incorrect but may be incomplete, and which would hinder the public in making an informed decision on the bond referendum for the sewer project. “It’s your project, your communtiy, your money, and your system,” Cooper told the council. He suggested they form a committee of local residents as well as council members they form a committee of local residents as well as council members to decide how best to present the issue to the people. News media, public hearings, presen­ tations to civic organizations, and leaflets were various methods mentioned by Cooper as a mean to inform the public of the project. May 1st had been ten­ tatively set as the date to let bids but Cooper said that, although he could not speak for governmental agencies, he thought a time extenions would be given to allow for a vote since the village has shown intent to the EPA and DNR in pursuing the sewer system improvements. In other business, trustee John Mason and Castleton Township supervisor Justin Cooley told the council about a discussion last Wednesday between the township board and Barry County Road Commission officials on construction of a new bridge on Greggs Crossing Road.

"Such notices shall be served personally or by mail at least 15 days prior to the day of such hearing, upon the applicant, or the appellant, the Zoning Administrator, and all persons to whom any real property within three hundred (300) feet of the premises in question shall be assessed." Proposed reading 3rd sentence "such notices shall be ser­ ved personally or by regular mail, addressed to the respective owners at the address given iin the last assessment roll.” CHARLES ANDRUS, Zoning Administrator bt Nashville ____________________ 90 percent state grant is available for the proposed $200,000 project, Cooley explained, but grant funds will cover only the bridge, not new approaches or acquis tion of the necessary right-of-way. Cooley said the local cost had been estimated at $50,000. “They (county officials) would like to know if we can help them out, however, looking at it from another point of view, they’re helping us out,” Mason commented. He said the township board views the road as a potential residential growth area and that a more passable road in that area could point residents toward the Nash­ ville business community. Mason said the local share for the bridge might be a good use for some of the potential $170,000 available to the Nashville-CastletonMaple Grove governmental units under the HUD Block Grant Communtiy Development program, as explained to the council in December by Sylvia Dulaney, Barry County Grants Coordinator. (The federal HUD grant would also provide $210,000 to rehabilitate 35 homes for low-income village residents.) Cooley said Thursday the new bridge would be relocated on a site other than the present truss bridge, one of only three such bridges remaining in Barry County. Mason said the bridge is too narrow, too short, and has limited load capacity. County officials consider it to be “critical”, he reported. A second meeting on the bridge proposal will be held Thursday, March 15th, at Castleton Township Hall at 7:00 p.m. Also scheduled at Thur­ sday’s meeting were two public hearings on unrelated matters. Both were set to preceed the March 22nd village council meeting. At 6 p.m., fiv^ proposed changes to Nashville’s zoning Or­ dinance will be considered; at 6:30 p.m., proposed uses of $23,000 in federal Revenue Sharing Funds will be heard. In other discussion, implementation of a cost off living allowance for village employees was tabled and referred back to committee for negotiations with department heads and employees on possible alternative means of com­ pensation. The finance committee, headed by trustee Ted Spoelstra, will report back to the council for further action. In police business, the council accepted a $180 bid from Rick’s Auto Body for repair on the 1978 Chevrolet Nova cruiser, and also agreed to offer for the sale the department’s backup unit, a 1976 Ford.. Sharon Green, head of the police committee, said a recently proposed police work schedule, which would have allowed the chief to remain on days, was not acceptable to the police committee. “Working the different shifts (on the present rotating schedule), the officers get to see a different group of people and different problems,” Green ex­ plained. She also cited oc­ casional 3-day weekends for Good citizen of the weekCitizenship Awards this week go' to Kristina Brewer, Aaron Brewer, and Valerie Bell who have been selected by their teachers for the honors. It’s interesting to note that just by coincidence two of this week’s winners are brother and sister. Kristina Brewer, 9-yearold daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Gene Brewer, has been selected to recieve the citizenship award in Mrs. Pat Hansen’s fourth grade class at Fuller Street School. Kristina of Woodland Road, Nashville, picks science as her favorite subject in school and lists social studies as second. She enjoys horseback riding, camping, and swimming and also says, “I like to collect buttons.” Kristina was active as a Bluebird in the Camp Fire Girls organization before moving to Nashville. In naming her for the citizen award, Mrs. Hansen said Kristina “is a very cooperative student. She displays all the charac­ teristics of a good citizen. She is a joy to have in the classroom.” Second grader Aaron Brewer, Kristina’s brother and the son of Gene and Judith Brewer, iss the recepient of the citizenship award in Miss Anne Drake’s class at Fuller. Music is his number one favorite subject and math is second. Aaron, 7, enjoys writing, reading and doing arts and crafts. He would like to join a summer softball team and also is looking forward to being eight years old so he can join the cub scouts. “Aaron is very deserving of this award at this time,” his teacher said. “He is very dependable, reliable, cooperative and helpful in the classroom. He handles responsibility well, and I feel he’s an outstanding good citizen,” Miss Drake said. At Kellogg Elementary, Valerie Bell has been named for the citizenship award by her sixth grade teacher, Steve Slag. Valerie, daughter of of Mr. Mr. and Mrs. Fred Bell of Curtis Rd., Nashville, enjoys sports activities like baseball, soccer, volleyball, swim­ ming and skiing. She is a member of 4-H and the Good News'Club. Eleven-year-old Valerie says her favorite subjects in school are English and math. Mr. Slag said Valerie exhibits many traits of an outstanding citizen. She is ““helpful helpful to to all all classmates, classmates, friendly, respectful to adults, and dependable.” Students selected for the award each recieve a blue ribbon and a certificate of recognition for good citizenship. family activities as a reason for retaining the present work schedule. Attending Thursday’s meeting, to hear village presiden t Harold Christiansen read a proclamation designating March 11th to 17th National Girl Scout Week in Nash­ ville, were several members of Brownie Troops No. 221 and 730.

Now, HB 4011 has trimmed the expected new costs, so that present appropriations can be maintained. Most importantly, we will lie able to avoid a $30 million cut to local schools. Tax Arguments—The Court of Appeals has heard statements for and against the recent increase in vehicle gass and weight taxes. Whatever-whenever the court decides, you should buy your license plates now; refunds, if required, can be made later. Pay Raise?—Recently introduced in the House is HCR 78, which would cut the proposed civil service pay increase back to five percent from the scheduled 7 percent. This requires a two thirds majority in both houses by March 23 in order to pass. Rollback Definition—The House Taxation Committee this week is beginning work on legislation defining the secion of last fall’s Headlee Amendment which requires that local millage rates be rolled back if assessments in any one year exceed the inflation rate. It is presently unclear if the rollback must be permanent, and if it must be on the authorized or levied rate. Welfare Cuts—A new state plan for further reduction in erroneous welfare payments has been approved by the U.S. HEW Secretary. Our error rate in 1974 was about 15 percent of the total spent; that has been cut to about 8 percent. New procedures will include increased field visits and computer cross checks with income tax and tax-withholding records. No-Fault Hearings—The Senate Comrnerce Committee will soon hold hearings on revisions needed in our no-fault auto insurance law: March 15; Michigan Inn, Southfield, 7:00 p.m.; March 22, State Building, Grand Rapids, 7:00 p.m. Call ahead if you’d like to testify. Fuzzbusters Busted—The COurt of Appeals has ruled that “fuzzbusters”-radar detectors used by private motorists to detect police radar speed timers-are illegal under a state law which bans motorist possession of radio receivers with police-signal capability. School Contracts—Although the school year is now more than half over, there are still some 5 percent of Michigan school districts that have not reached contract agreements with their teachers. However, this is still about 7 percent ahead of last year’s settlement rate. ... Stamp Contest—The DNR is now conducting its first annual contest to select the design for the 1980 Michigan Trout Stamp. There are no money prizes; entrants must be at least 18. For details write the DNR Fisheries Division, Box 30028, Lansing 48909. Deadline is May 1. CASTLETON TOWNSHIP — ANNUAL MEETING — Notice is hereby given that the annual Township meeting of Castleton Township, Barry County, Mich, will be held at the Township Hall on SATURDAY, MARCH 31, 1979 at 3:00 p.m. At such time in addition to other regular business, the proposed budget shall be submitted for considera­ tion. The actual use of the Federal Revenue Sharing monies will also be discussed at this time. GERALDINE M.

The 4-H Special Riding Program began in Eaton County in 1978. Forty youngsters from the Eaton Intermediate School District took summer riding lessons from specially trained riding instructors. Instructors Nancy Dutrieux from Eaton Rapids and Pat Harkin from East Lansing taught students with physical, mental, and emotional handicaps. Students began learning to mount and dismount, and to control their horses during riding practice, exercise and game sessions. Through the hor­ seback riding, students improved their coordination, balance, posture and self­ confidence This year riding classes will be held once a week on the five Wednesdays in May and four Wednesdays in June and July. Fifty volunteers are needed for a variety of roles. Most work directly with the handicapped riders, serving as a “leader’’ to help control the horse or as a “side holder’’ to aid the rider’s balance and reinforce the instructor's directions. Volunteers do not need to be experienced horseback riders. All volunteers will need to attend a training session prior to the start of the riding program. The training will be held on Saturday, April 21st Horses and ponies are also needed for the once-a-week riding classes. About 20 animals in all are needed. Each animal is checked by an Instructor to determine its suitability for the program. Horses need to be gentle and dependable. In 1978, 35 volunteers and eleven horses and ponies assisted with the riding program. People and animals came mostly from Grand Ledge, Potterville, Eaton Rapids, and Charlotte. If enough volunteers and horses are recruited for the 1979 program, it is hoped that all 53 youngsters from the Eaton Intermediate School will be able to ride this year. Service clubs or in­ dividuals who may be able to donate time or loan a horse to help on the 4-H Special Riding Program are asked to call the 4-H office at 543-2310 as soon as possible. In Grand Ledge call 627-3484. You don’t need to be a 4-H person to take part in the program. This is a program for all residents of Eaton County. Poisons are killers Poison Prevention Week, March 18 thru 24 The Michigan Phar­ macists Association (MPA) would like everyone to be aware that there are killers in their homes. Poison Prevention Week (PPW), March 18-24, is the perfect time to place potential “killers” such as household cleansers, solvents and pesticides out of the reach of small children.

Most homes contain potential poisons and when children can find these substances, they naturally experiment with them.” “For many years, phar­ macy has led the way in promoting PPW,” William Adrian said. “Many MPA local associations and pharmacists are conducting poison prevention education programs in their com­ munities, in conjunction with poison control centers and other civic groups. A wide assortment of resource material and poison prevention in­ formation are available from MPA. Some of these materials include: the Babysitter’s Guide to Poison Prevention, listing Do’s and Don’ts in case of an ac­ cidental poison; a booklet “The Family Reference Guide to Poison Prevention and Treatment”; a safety medicine chest, used to Are High School students immunized adequately?

The MPA would like to emphasize that children act fast and so do poisons. New and safer packaging has helped decrease the number of childhood poisoning deaths. The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission reported a decrease of 47 percent in the number of accidental poisoning deaths among children age five and under since 1972 when the CPSC required child­ resistant caps on containers of aspirin. However, the children’s inclination to explore the unknown may still lead them into dangers that no safety measures can control.

The Lions jumped out to a 13-8 first quarter lead and seemed to be in command when the Panthers put together a stunning offense that netted them a 21 point second quarter. Valley could manage only 14 points and trailed 27-29 at the half. Each team netted 13 points in the third quarter with Valley failing to recapture the lead at the free throw line. Don Fax, who has shown much improvement the second half of the season tied the score at 51-51 with 2:48 remaining to be played. Ken Hansbarger, playing an agressive defense, caused DeWitt problems in the final two minutes and with 55 seconds left he got the ball to Andy Joostberns who was fouled. Joostberns sank one of the free-throws putting the score at- 55-50 in favor of DeWitt. With 33 seconds remaining to be played, DeWitt com­ mitted an offensive foul that gave Valley the ball but the Lion bid for victory fell short. The Panthers grabbed the rebound and Valley fouled. Panther- Mike Ferwand hit two from the charity stripe to put the game away. For the Lions, Andy Joostberns had 22 points, Don Fox 12, and Ken Hansbarger 10. Mike Ferwand and Gene Carroll of DeWitt each scored 16. Sports Banquet for Volleyball, Wrestling Sports awards for all Volleyball players and wrestlers will be issued on Tuesday, March 20.

And, with maple season in full swing, can spring be far behind? (Maple Valley News Photos) This special fire department rig is a familiar sight in Nashville, as the business of gathering sap begins. The rig carries a Supply of large pails to pour the sap into as it is collected from the trees. Then there are two special holding tanks on the rig to haul the sap to the sugar shanty for boiling. Shown working on the rig are Eldon Day, at the wheel; Lee Christopher and his children Kyle (pouring) and Ken. Day says it takes about 100 gallons of sap to make 3-3 7j gallons of maple syrup. Last year, Nashville produced about 750 gallons of excellent quality syrup. osatafMoih «i w feijefc tatlA rcmvtat Most of the village maples accomodate 2 buckets to catch the flow of sap. Melvin R.

Village firemen and the local scouts tapped about 250 trees this year, and most are adorned with two buckets each.

Shortline equipment will be displayed in the MSU Stadium con­ course and at the MSU Dairy Cattle Research and Teaching Center. Exhibits and displays related to weed control will be housed in a large tent in the parking lot between Engineering and the In­ ternational Center. Material shown here will be directly related to the discussions conducted during the weed program. Along with this will be a mobile pesticide van developed at Purdue University. It will provide pesticide information in six categories which will cover safety, pest identification, and application. Displays in the Agricultural Engineering Building will show the recent developments in farm equipment operator safety and design. Farm power exhibits will be sup­ plemented with displays of tillage, planting, and har­ vesting equipment. There will be a similar section for farm building systems and material used in farm construction. Plans for dairy, beef, swine, and home building will be available, as well as plans for manure handling and storage facilities.

Soil test for gardens Take the guesswork out of fertilization Having your soil tested is an easy, inexpensive way to determine the nutrient needs of your garden. In fact, it’s about the only way to make sure you’re adding enough nutrients in the right proportions for good plant growth and crop production. When you have your soil tested at the Michigan State University soils laboratory, you get a computer printout broken down into two basic parts: results and recom­ mendations. Results include soil pH, which is. a measure of soil acidity dr alkalinity; and lime index, which indicates the need for lime on acid soils. MSU soils specialist Darryl Warncke ways a pH of 6.0-6.8 is best for home vegetable gardening. “If the soil pH rises above or falls below’that range, certain nutrients may become unavailable to plants, even though present in the soil,” Warncke says. “This is why you don’t routinely add lime to your soil without having a soil test first. You may be making a bad situation worse instead of better. A summary of home garden soil test in­ formation revealed' 75 percent of all gardens in Michigan do not need lime.” Available phosphorus, potassium, calcium arid magnesium are reported in pounds per acre. These are the basic plant nutrients. As a rule of thumb, phosphorus levels of less than 40 pounds per acre are very low. For vegetable gardening, 100-150 pounds per acre is desirable. An adequate potassium level for vegetables is 300 350 pounds per acre. Magnesium is adequate at 75 pounds per acre in mineral soils. Calcium is almost always adequate in Michigan soils. Based on summary information, 50 percent of Michigan gardens can benefit from added phosphorus, 75 percent from added potash and 11 percent from added magnesium. Fertilizer recom­ mendations are given in the form of pounds of nitrogen, phosphate and potash per 1,000 square feet. A recommendation of 3 + 1 + 1, for instance, means three pounds of nitrogen, one pound of phosphate and one pound of potash per 1,000 square feet. To provide these nutrients, you have to understand how to read the label on a package of fertilizer. The three numbers on the label indicate the 'percent nitrogen, phosphate and potash in the fertilizer, Warncke explains. To choose the right fertilizer for your garden, you need to select one complete fertilizer-one that provides all three nutrients-or a combination of two or more that will provide the nutrients your Nashville VFW 8260 & Auxiliary Get your reservation in by March 25 for Past Commanders, Past Presidents and Life Members Banquet which will be March 31.

To provide nutrients in the ratio of 3-1-1, for instance, you could use either 23-7-7 or 23-9-9. To determine how much fertilizer you need to apply to each 1,000 square feet of garden area, multiply the pounds of one of the nutrients in the recom­ mendation by 100 and divide that by the amount of that nutrient the fertilizer provides. “Let’s say the recom­ mendation is for three pounds nitrogen, one pound phosphate and one pound potash,” Warncke says. “Multiply three pounds—the nitrogen in the recommendation-by 100 and divide that by 23 and get 13 pounds per 1,000 square feet.” Working with the phosphate or potash requirements would give you a fertilizer requirement of 11 pounds <1x100 divided by 9) per 1,000 square feet. Warncke says you may choose to use the higher rate or compromise halfway. Hence, you would need to use 11-13 pounds of the 23-9-9 fertilizer for each 1,000 square feet of garden; If you choose to use natural fertilizer materials, you will probably have to use more than one to provide balanced nutrition for flowers and vegetables. You might use dried blood (12-1­ 1) to meet nitrogen needs, bone meal (4-21-1) for phosphorus and seaweed (1­ 1-5) or wood ashes (0-1-5) for potash. “No matter what kind of fertilizer you’re using, avoid thinking that more is bound to be better,” Warncke advises. “Overfertilization can reduce both yields and vegetable quality.” Further explanation of MSU soil test results and recommendations is available in Extension Bulletin E-1240.

Let’s keep our people Fred Jacobs, publisher of shopping in Nashville,” the Maple Valley News, Jerry Brumm, head of the adeviseda pCheambaere ymemebwerss, Chamber’s Retail Committee, told the membership at Wednesday evening’s dinner meeting at the Steakhouse Restaurant. Merchant participation in the promotion is optional but tthe basic program calls for local businessmen to pur­ chase coupons, labeled “Nashville Bucks”, from the Chamber of Commerce. The coupons may then be awarded to customers at the ratio of one coupon for every $5 purchase. Fourty, coupons will be good for ten gallons of gas at Powers’ Shell or Fargo Service Wednesday that to make the promotion most effective they should keep the rules simple and “make as few exclusions as possible.” Interested merchants may secure coupons and ad- ditional details from Jerry Brumm at Nashville Hard­ ware. Participating businesses 'will pay the Chamber for the “Nashville Bucks” and the Chamber will, in turn, reimburse the service station owners for coupons redeemed. In other business, Chamber president Charles Andrus, Jr., reported on a recent conversation with Calvin Shelton, president of the newly-formed KentBarry-Eaton Railroad, soon to assume ownership of the present Conrail line which runs from Vermontville to Grand Rapids, via Nashville. KBE owners had planned to take over the line April 1st but details on a maintenance contract have caused a temporary delay until June 1st, Andrus reported. However, Shelton ex­ pressed interest in Andrus’ proposal to arrange special excursion tours to Barry County and he will be in this area in the near future to meet with Andrus; Frank Walsh, director of Charlton Park and Museum;, and James Gordon, Barry County Commissioner from Middleville. The Middleville Jaycees have also shown interest in the excursion train, an idea which gained impetus at Nashville’s February Chamber of Commerce meeting. At that time Andrus suggested special Sunday passenger trips from Grand Rapids to Charlton Park and Sandyland. “The West Michigan Tourist Association saw the Maple Valley News report of otu* February meeting and At the regular meeting of the Maple Valley Board of Education held Monday, March 12, the board mem­ bers approved changing the location of the summer band camp to VanBuren Youth Camp.

However, it is necessary for each band member to have a physical examination before at­ tending band camp at Van Buren Youth Camp which wasn’t required at Alma College. Board members Wayne Cogswell and Russell Geary abstained. The board members ap­ proved a request from Vernon Trowbridge, President of the Ver­ montville Maple Syrup Festival, to allow parking of trailers at the Jr.-Sr. High School parking lot during the festival April 27-29. Approval was given the addition of Business Law and Consumer Mathematics to the high school curriculum beginning in the fall 1979. A new textbook, American Government by Prentice­ Hall was approved for the government class. The textbook Freedoms Trail by Houghton Mifflin was ap­ proved for the U.S. history class. The board members approved general policy changes related to the co­ educational physical education classes. Approval was given the purchase of student folders for students in the Jr.-Sr. High School on a trial basis for one year. These curriculum and general operational changes had been previously ap­ proved by the professional study committee and educational advisory commitee. Considering the general lack of interest shown in the book store along with the limited amount of materials that have been sold this year, it was decided to close out the bookstore and at this time, and the general fund will reimburse the classes for their investment in the inventory. The board members voted to approve the purchase of ten CB radio units from Vermontville Hardware at a total cost of $838.50 including antenna’s and slide in brackets. These units will be used in the special education vehicles, kindergarten busses, vocational bus, and school truck enabling better communication in event of emergency. It was the decision of the board of education upon the recommendation of Jr.-Sr. High School principal, Burr Hartenburg, to discontinue the use of the trampoline in the entire program including physical education classes. Theresa Hull, school nurse, made a report to the board members relative to the local progress to comply with the state immunization survey and catch-up which will cover every student enrolled in public schools. It is necessary that this report be completed by April 1,1979 covering the initial stage of the report which is a search of the records along with making contact with the parents in an attempt to obtain further information and bring all records up to Cont. on page 6 Neighborhood watch program underway in VermontvilleDora J. Nisse No date has been set for the next meeting of the Neighborhood Watch Program, as we are awaiting word from the Judges as to when their schedules will allow them time. If anything was accomplished at the meeting between citizens and sheriffs dept., prosecutors, Berger and McFarlin last Wed­ nesday, it was the beginning of some communications between our people. By the questions asked it showed some of the thinking of our people. Some positive thinking on our part will now come into play. As Mr. Berger is aware of our feelings and now has first hand knowledge of our problems. He knows we will be looking for action and help through his office, and each case from our area that is brought before him or his assistants’ will be monitored by us. It’s a joint adventure to justice. �The Maple Valley News, Nashville, Wednesday, March 21, 1979 — Page 2 Nashville News At this writing, it appears production of concrete blocks will be underway this week at the newly-rejuvenated Maple Valley Concrete Products (formerly Pennock’s) south of Nashville. Ted and Corry Ohler, new owners of the business, have been working diligently since early last summer to refurbish the plant and install some new equipment. The Ohlers hope to expand their production to also include patio stones and other concrete products. Residents of the Fine Lake area, the Ohlers have two teenage children. Ted is an industrial arts teacher at the Calhoun County Area Vocational Education Center, in addition to operating the block plant. A tour of Putnam Library, guided by library historian Jane Shoup, highlighted last Tuesday’s meeting of the newly-formed “Friends of the Library” group. In the business meeting Tuesday, Joy Peake was named vice­ president and plans were set for an April 14th bake sale at Carl’s Market. Persons wishing to donate baked goods or services for the fund-raising event are asked to call Margaret Ashcraft at 852-9793. The FOL group will be conducting various programs and projects to benefit our local library, and they need community support. Senior citizens, as well as teenagers, are encouraged to join the FOL. An upcoming project, which will involve elementaryage school youngsters, is a bookmark design contest, to be chaired by Merry Lou Ossenheimer. The next meeting of the FOL is set for April 9th at 7 p.m. and will also include another tour of the library facilities for. interested persons. Ardyce Robotham is president of the organization; Laurie Kipp is secretary; and Helen Hay, treasurer. A fish weighing 503 lbs. and measuring 150 inches long was a prize catch for Charles Kjergaard, son of the William Kjergaards of Nashville, during a recent Hawaiian vacation. A blue Pacific marlin, the trophy was captured during a deep sea fishing expedition off the cost of Kona and required an hour of hard work on Charley’s part before the fish was landed. Coincidentally, Charley was sitting in the same seat on the same charter boat where a 1,000 lb. prize marlin had been hooked last year. That larger catch is now on display in the charter boat company office, but Kjergaard decided against having his huge prize mounted due to the extremely high cost and distance to be tran- sported. Besides, where does one display a twelve-and a half foot long fish? This week, the Kjergaards’ daughter Susan is celebrating her 21st birthday during a week-long Caribbean cruise as part of a group tour. Susie, a clerk typist for the State of Michigan, has also occasionally been featured as a model for various advertisers in the Maple Valley News. Several meetings will take place this week at the Nashville United Methodist Church. Tuesday, March 20th, the Council on Ministries will meet at 7:00 p.m., followed by an 8:00 p.m. meeting of the Administrative Board. Wednesday, March 21st, the Education Committee will meet at 7:00 p.m., followed by a 7:300 p.m. meeting of the Board of Trustees. All meetings will be held at the church. A recent stage presentation of the Broadway hit “Annie”, performed at the Fisher Theater in Detroit, was enjoyed by Mrs. Hilda Baas of Nashville. The play, based on the comic strip “Little Orphan Annie”, was the highlight of a group bus tour under the guidance of Mrs. Greta Firster of Ver­ montville. Actress Kathy-Jo Kelly aptly portrayed Annie; and her ever-faithful dog, Sandy, was very delightful on stage, reports Mrs. Baas. The group enjoyed a good view of the performance from balcony seats. Their attendance at the Saturday afternoon matinee at the Fisher was preceeded by a morning shopping expedition to the new “Twelve Oaks Mall” at Novi. Dick and Wilma Bogart of Nashville were in Lansing last Sunday for the christening of their first grandson, Richard A. Bogart, who was born January 21st. The baby is the son of Terry and Nancy Bogart of Lansing. The Dick Bogarts also have two granddaughters. Mrs. George (Pat) Vogt fell at home last week and broke her right shoulder. She had just been released from Barry County Medical Care Facility last week after nearly 2 months confinement for a broken hip suffered in a pre­ Christmas fall. She underwent hip surgery and spend several weeks at Pennock Hospital following that mishap. Pat had been making a good recovery from the hip fracture but was still using a walker when she fell last week. She is now confined in bed at home to await healing of the shoulder break. Sorry that the name of one little girl in the Quailtrap School group photo (featured in last week’s “Memories” story) was omitted in the caption. The young lass in the dark dress, standing at the extreme left in the front row, is Mary Fuller (Jarrard). Her sister, Wilma Fuller (DeCamp), who was also in the picture and had loaned it for the Quailtrap story, caught the oversight. _ Through Mrs. DeCamp, we also learned the correct spelling of the name of one teacher mentioned in the report. Miss Monroe’s name was Aura (not Ora). Both are pronounced the same. Aura later married Proctor McGinnis, who was an uncle to Wilma and Mary Fuller (he was a brother to their mother). Aura was the daughter of the Orlie Monroes, who lived on Cleveland Street in the presentday Corkins home. Thanks to Dick Mason of Nashville for loaning the photo used in the recent “Memories” feature,on the old Nashville News office. Dick’s father, C.O. “Ab” Mason, worked for the News for 48 years and was known as “Mr. Nashville News” by most village residents. Ab passed away in 1956. Several other interesting photos have been loaned by Dick for up­ coming features, and we are currently seeking information on an early Nashville baseball team (pre-1910) on which Ab played. Other players currently identified are Phil Dalhouser, Bill Shupp,_ Dorr Webb, and Chester “Pat” Smith. Anyone with knowledge of the team’s history is asked to call this reporter at 852-1963. Clare Wright of rural Nashville will perform in a another jamboree of the Original Michigan Fiddlers’ Associationthis time at the Cassopolis Fairgrounds, March 31st. The 2 p.m. jamboree will be followed by a 7 p.m. dance. Wright, who is also famous for playing a lively tune now and then at the Nashville Senior Citizens’ Site here, participated in a similar jamboree held last month in the community building on the Barry County Fairgrounds in Hastings. Mrs. Nellie Moon of Nashville enjoyed attending a meeting of the Edith Parks Circle of the United Methodist Church last Monday. The gathering was at the home of Mrs Adah Steele of Nashville. Singing of Irish ballads, accompanied by Feme Green as pianist, helped the Nashville Site Senior Citizens celebrate an early St. Patrick’s Day last Thursday, Dreeceeding their noon dinner at the site. Russ and Billie Blakely of Nashville returned last Wed­ nesday from a two-weeks trip to Colorado to visit their children at Colorado Springs. Shortly before arriving there, tthe drove into a blinding snow shower west of Kit Carson Colorado. TheBlakelys and several other mothorists were forced to return east to find accommodations when the State Police closed the highway due to poor visibility. However, apparently because of the dry condition of the snow, there was very little accumulation on the ground the following morning and the Blakelys were able to continue to Colorado Springs. There, they found temperatures mostly in the 60 degree range, and saw snow only one day. Bible study will be held at the Nashville United Methodist Church Thursday evening, March 22nd, at 8 p.m. The Nashville Jaycees, headed by Mike Slocum, will soon bbe sponsoring a “50-50” drawing which could net a goodsized cash award for the lucky winner. Club members willl be seeking dollar donations for each of 1,000 tickets On April 27th, a drawing will be held and the person whose name is called will receive half of the total money in the jackpot The other half will go to the Jaycees, a civic organization comprised of young men under the age of 35 which was recently rejuvenated in Nashville. An earlier Jaycees group was very active in the 1960’s there and played a large nart in Nashville’s Centennial celebration. P By Susan Hinckley Mike Slocum, owner and operator of The Mirror’s Image expects to return to work this week after six weeks of illness due to severly pulled muscles. Mike was confined to Pennock Hospital for two weeks, got around with crutches for the next two weeks, and is still undergoing therapy treat­ ments. Best wishes to Mike for a speedy and complete recovery. The Nashville Literary Club will meet Wednesday evening March 21st, at the Curtis Craft House for their annual meeting and a special art program. Vernon Curtis, owner, will speak to the members about art and the ladies will alii try their hand at painting or drawing. Tea committee for the 7:30 p.m. event is Betty Myers, Nita Brown, and Bessie Myers. Members are welcome to bring guests. Fred Ackett, a well-known local resident, has become a one-man historian for the village of Nashville over the years. A looseleaf notebook filled with newspaper clippings and carefully handwritten notes, plus an equally burgeoning scrapbook, details Nashville history from early days to the present. Fred’s handwritten notes even cover the village’s early government, beginning with the year 1871. Council members and village presidents for the past one-hundred years are listed, plus a wealth of other facts pertinent to Nashville’s history. One particularly interesting Nashville personality chronicled in Ackett’s collection is Ray Wolfe, who operated what was thought to be the fist bus line in Michigan. Wolfe’s parents lived in the former Kent home on south M-66 and raised vegetables for sale in the cities. Ray made trips into Battle Creek to deliver the produce and usually ended up carrying “riders” from Nashville. Soon he was hauling more people than “potatoes” and went into the tran­ sportation business on a regular basis, finally extending his bus line as far as Coldwater. The year was about 1912 when Wolfe started his venture, Ackett believes, although the clipping was undated. A small religious booklet written and published by Ray Wolfe, in 1913, entitled “A Wolfe Tamed,” is part of Ackett’s collection, and shows a good photo of the author on the front cover. Though he was missing his right arm, Wolfe had the reputation of being more than sturdy enough “to take care of himself,” Fred recalls. The Mayo-Evans Birthday Club met Thursday, March 8th, at the home of Mary Linsley on Five Point Highway. Alta Linsley and jV>yce Gardner assisted as co-hostesses. Eleven members and one guest enjoyed a delicious luncheon, followed by a business meeting and games. The next meeting of the club is set for April 12th at the home of Grace Ritchie of Bellevue. Robert Beystrum of Port Clinton, Ohio, was in Nashville several days last week visiting his mother, Mrs. Viola Beystrum. An earlier guest at the Beystrum home was Viola’s sister, Mrs. Edna McConnell of Battle Creek. “Sowing precious seed” will be the theme of the Nashville Baptist Church annual Father-Son banquet set for next Monday, March 26th, at 7 p.m. at the MVHS cafeteria. Rev. Clyde Mills of Quincy will be the featured speaker. April Fool’s Day will fall on Sunday this year, and at the Nashville Baptist Church Assistant Pastor Don Roscoe will deliver a 9:45 a.m. Sunday School address entitled “The Four Biggest Fools in Nashville.” The Nashville Baptist Church will feature a performance by Billy Spear, a nationally-known gospel singer, at their 7 The Sugar Hut OPEN on SUNDAYS 10:00-3:00 Specialty...

Barry County could not afford to replace the bridge without grant funding, Kineman claimed. . “Bridges are expensive and they won’t get any cheaper,” he added. The present truss bridge, one of only three still standing in Barry County, has been labeled too short, too narrow, and has a limited load capacity. Justin Cooley, Castleton Township supervisor, favored the bridge project, pointing to the residential growth potential and said loss of the old bridge might direct area residents toward Hastings or other shopping centers instead of toward the Nashville business com­ munity. “We are looking to the future,” Cooley said in support of the bridge project. Cooley was a member of a special committee recently appointed by Nashville village president Harold Christiansen to study possible uses of the potential $170,000 community development funds. Nash­ ville councilman John Mason and Fire Chief Doug Yarger were also on the committee.

Interesting footnotes keep turning up on the old Wolcott House, a former grand hotel on Nashville’s South Main Street, which was recently featured in a “Memories of the Past” story. Mrs. Caroline Jones found a old news clipping last month which established 1878 as the date the hotel was built. Just last week, we learned that 1940 was the year of its demise. Mrs. Elza Emery advised us that she and her late husband, Harry Emery, bought the then-defunct hotel, tore it down and used the lumber to construct a barn and shed on their N. Price Road farm. And Mrs. Beatrice (Herrington) Penfold of Nashville was able to add some additional insight' into last week’s “Quailtrap School” story. The reason the structure was moved from a hilly site to a more level location, a few hundred feet to the south, was to place it on a more secure foundation, Bea reports. The first foundation was only three large stones and a hill, according to informtion Bea received from Graydon Andrews of Curtis Road. Both Bea and An­ drews were early 1900’s scholars at the Quailtrap on South Clark Road. Sports figures will highlight services at the Nashville Baptist Church during an April and May Sunday School promotion based on a theme of “winning every inning.” Coach Floyd Eby, a former Coldwater High School basketball coach, will address the Sunday School, April 8th. Eby is a nationaHy-known speaker and author. Phil Reagen, former Tiger pitcher and present basketball coach at Grand Valley State College, will be featured as speaker for the May 20th Sunday School hour. The Nashville Senior Citizens will meet for a 12:00 noon potluck dinner Wednesay, march 21st, at the V.F.W. Hall in Nashville. All are invited and welcome to attend. At this writing, it is expected that Eloise Wolf, Barry County Director of the Commission on Aging, will speak to the group. Phil Kerns, author of the book “People’s Temple, People’s Tomb,” will speak at the Nashville Baptist Church, Sunday, March 25th, during morning worship services. Kerns is a former member of the People’s Temple but had left the cult prior to the recent Jonestown tragedy in which he lost his mother and a sister. Mr. and Mrs. George Frith and'Mr. and Mrs. Gerald (“Doc”) Mater of Nashville returned last week from a twoweek trip to Florida. On the way south, they stopped at the Madi Gras festival in New Orleans where they found the festivities peaceful despite a city wide police and firemen’s strike. They enjoyed touring the Madi Gras area on a sightseeing bus which was an organized excursion from the campsite where they were staying. In Florida, the Friths and maters visited various points of interest and called on some relatives before making the return trip home in their campers.

In addition to village street improvements, the com­ mittee had listed aiding development of a community recreational park, paving a downtown behind stores parking lot, and building a sidewalk and or bike path along Reed Street to Carl’s Market, as the uppermost priorities. Mason said other possible projects to be investigates were installation of a handicapped ramp at Putman Library, im­ provement of the Thornapple River dam, expansion of the senior citizens’ nutrition program, purchase of a 1 ton 4 wheel drive utility fire truck, construction of a boat launch at Putnam Park, restoration of the old Pump House for a community room, and repairing the Francis Street bridge. Sylvia Dulaney, Barry County Grants Coordinator, was present at the meeting and said she expects word by the end of March if the HUD grant has been approved. If not, she has alternative grants to pursue. In addition to the $170,000 being sought for civic improvement projects, the HUD Block Grant would provide $210,000 to rehabilitate homes of 35 low income Nashville area residents .

Footsteps of six generations echo through Blaisdell HomesteadHannah Blaisdell and Castleton Township “grew up together”. When Hannah arrived here in 1847, at age four, the township was also in its’ infancy. Entirely inhabited by Indians, Castleton Township did not see its’ first white settler until 1837, although surrounding townships were dotted here and there with settler’s cabins. “Indians there were in abundance, who came every year to occupy their wigwams in the sugar groves and dwelt along the streams, the banks of which were frequently by deer, and the waters of which were well supplied with fish,” recounts an 1880 History of Barry and Allegan Counties. Hannah came to Michigan from Seneca Falls, N.Y., with her parents, thomas and Alice Blaisdell, and her little brother and sister, DeWitt and Polly. The family settled on 160 acres of Section 15 (nor­ thwest of our present village), land which Blaisdell had purchased during an 1838 visit to Michigan. “The original tract of land was completely covered with timber which, of course, had' to be cleared from the land before crops could be planted,” writes Hannah’s grandson, Kenneth A. Meade a Nashville native now of Franklin. With the aid of a car­ penter, Blaisdell, who was a miller by trade, built a log house in 1847 to shelter his family and in the autumn sowed wheat on a ten acre field he had hired cleared. In the spring of 1848 he built a barn and began the work of clearing timber from the rest of the farm. No settlement existed in Nashville until some eight years later when a crude mill operation was established on the Thor­ napple River. “In the early years on the Farm, trips were made to Battle Creek on horseback to get staples such as sugar, coffee, and salt. A little later, trading could be done at Hastings when a settlement was made there,” reports Meade, who heard the story as a child. In future years, Hannah would pass on to her grand­ son many fascinating tales of the Blaisdells’ experiences as early township settlers. “Grandmother said that as '’Grandmother said that as a little girl she remembered Indians who came from their campgrounds near Thornapple Lake to trade pickerel fish for home baked bread. They couldn't speak English so all communication was by sign language." a little girl she remembered I ndians who came from their campgrounds near Thor­ napple Lake to trade pickerel fish for home baked bread. They couldn’t speak English so all com­ munication was by sign language,” recalls Meade. The Blaisdell family prospered on their newly settled land and by 1860, nine years before Nashville became a village,' Thomas started construction of a large stone dwelling on his property. Plans for the house were drawn by his wife, but unfortunately, Alice died in 1861 and did not live to see her dream home completed. Hannah was then eighteen years of age. Thomas con­ tinued building the grand house, and materials were hauled by wagon from Battle Creek and Marshall. Sand­ stone corners for the upright section were hauled from a quarry near Jackson. To make the trip worthwhile, Blaisdell hauled wheat to sell in the cities and building materials filled the empty wagons for the return trip home. “Most of this was done during the Civil War years when wheat brought a good price,” writes Meade. Thomas Blaisdell lived for 21 years after his wife’s death. He passed away in 1882 at the home of his daughter Polly (by then Mrs. Rueben Kuhlman), who lived in the brick house near Putnam Park now owned by the Kjergaards. Hannah, by that time, had married Samuel J. Robin­ son, a brakeman on the old Michigan Central Railroad. When Thomas Blaisdell died, Hanrjah Blaisdell Robinson, left in buggy, was nearing 70 in this 1911 photo on Nashville's South Main Street. When Hannah first came to Castleton Township as a small child, no settlement existed in the village. Her family home northeast of Nashville is one of the earliest township dwellings still standing. With her in the buggy are granddaughter Mabel Meade, age 4, and neighbor Emma Huwe (both now deceased). Hannah's horse, dubbed "Nellie Bly", was then 20 years old. (Photo loaned, courtesy Mrs. Helen Huwe) his daughter Hannah and her husband assumed ownership of the family homestead. While Samuel worked on the railroad, Hannah managed the farm with the aid of hired help and, continued to do so even following Robinson’s death in 1896. In 1901 Hannah, who had come to Castleton Township at age four, was 58 years of age and she turned the operation of the farm over to her daughter and son-in-law, Jessie and Arthur V. Meade. The Meades had bought 80 acres of the farm that year and lived in a frame house on the southeast corner of the property. When their home burned in 1912 they bought the remaining acerage and moved into the stone house with their two children, Mabel and Kenneth. “It was a very, pleasant place to live,” recalls Meade of the old stone house. “Electric lights were put in the stone house in the 1940’s and a bathroom and furnace were installed in the 1950’s”, he relates. Other­ wise the house still stands in much the same state as when constructed by Blaisdell in 1860. Hannah left the farm in 1916, moved in Nashville and resided on Phillips Street until her death in 1936 at age 93. By then the old homestead on Eaton Road had passed to the third generation of the family-from Blaisdell, to Robinson, to Meade. Jessie (Robinson) Meade died in 1928 and, when her husband died thirty years later, the old house passed into the fourth generationfirst to Mabie Meade and then, upon her death in 1959, to her brother, Kenneth A. Meade. Subsequently, the property was purchased by a son, Kenneth F. Meade, and is occupied today by his son, Michael, a great-great­ great-grandson of Thomas Blaisdell. Thus, the sixth generation now lives in the large stone house built by Blaisdell during the Civil War. Many wars have come and gone since then, but the Blaisdell house with stone walls two feet thick seems to have been built to withstand the ages. In 1960 the Michigan Historical Commission designated the Meade homestead a “Centennial Farm”, bestowing honors for ownership by the samel family for over one hundred years. Confederates and Yankees were at war when Thomas Blaisdell built a fine stone home on Eaton Road to replace the 1847 log cabin which had first sheltered his family. In this photo, shade trees obscure the upper story of the main structure but cornerstones hauled from a Jackson quarry are clearly visible, and the depth of the walls is shown in the entryway at the left. Through Blaisdells' daughter, Hannah, the home has passed into sixth generation ownership. . (Photo (Photoloaned, loaned,courtesy courtesyKenneth KennethAA.

A weekly report from— Ernest Nash State Representative Class Act - The House has once again passed a bill (HB 4013) which would require that all property be equalized by separate classes rather than as a whole as is done new. In other years the bill has died in the Senate, but its chief foe is gone how. Jobs Up - The number of people employed in civilian jobs in Michigan reached a record level last month: 4.3 million. On the other hand, the unemployment rate also increased during the month: 8.2 percent of our work force cant’t find work. Try Again - This year’s bill to decriminalize the possession and use of small amounts of marijuana is SB 65; the Senate Judiciary Committee held hearings on it last week. Previous such proposals have failed of passage by small margins. Action Lacking - The Civil Rights Commission has said that minorities and women are underrepresented in the job market compared to their numbers in general. At the same time, a special House committee on affirmative action has concluded that state and local governments and state universities should be forced by law to maintain af­ firmative-action programs. Wetlands Afloat - Legislation to preserve and protect Michigan’s wetlands, which has been much debated in prior years, is again before the legislature. The Senate will vote on SB 3, while the House will vote on HB 4049, but only after a multitude of amendments are considered. Both bills would regulate the use and development of areas designated as wetlands. Lights Out? - The House has approved HB 4126, which would ban pilot lights in appliances using natural gas. It is similar to a bill which was passed but vetoed last year. By extending a present pilot-light ban to all gas appliances, the intent is to conserve energy. Bowl Bonanza - The successful quest by Governor Milliken and others for the 1982 Super Bowl to be played in Michigan will provide a big boost to our economy in that year.

Wednesday, March 21. 1979 — Page 15 The sap ‘run’ is on: maple syrup producers are boilin’ down After a successful sap gathering mission, Merle and Marlene Martin (on right) and Jeff Briggs head for the log cabin sugar house to start the boiling down process. American Indians were the first to discover the delights of maple syrup, and the custom was passed on to the early settlers. a slice of a maple tree which shows all the places where the tree had been tapped during its life span. Claude Van Blarcom and Bob Todd (on left) flipped a number of pancakes for the meal. (Below): Inside the Martin sugar house the sap flows into a large evaporator that is fired with oil. The boiling down process reduces the sap into pure maple sugar. Merle is shown stoking the fire. With the boiling down process completed, Merle Martinof Brown Rd., one of Vermontville's maple syrup producers, fills a pail with the delicious sweet liquid all ready for bottling. Martin purchased the family business from his parents and now he and his wife, Marlene, and their two children with the help of Jeff Briggs operate the sugar house on Brown Rd.

Druing the evening, the Mr. and Mrs. Homer Winegar, Community Chairmen for the Village of Vermontville for the Hayes-Green-Beach Memorial Hospital Expansion Fund are shown reviewing plans for the hospital expansion with Lyle Buxton, Area Division and Douglas D. Lowe, campaign General Chairman. Winegars as well as com­ munity chairmen had an opportunity to review plans for the proposed hospital expansion to construct a new wing which will increase private room space and waiting areas for outpatient services and families visiting relatives. A number of im­ provements are planned to modernize and update services to provide greater safety and comfort for the patients and comply with State licensing requirements. There will be no increase in the number of beds, which will remain at 46. The area wide fund goal for the hospital expansion has been set at $1.5 million.

A grant of $405,000 has been reserved for Barry County on the basis of its pre­ application. The grant will become a reality if a final application, due June 30th, meets all the requirements of the Small Cities Program. If funding is approved the dollars are earmarked at $210,000 for home rehabilitation and $170,000 for community im­ provements in the village of Nashville, Castleton Township and Maple Grove Township. Grants provided under the Small Cities Program are to be used for a wide range of activities directed toward goals of decent housing and suitable living environment (with up to $6,000 per home rehabilitation for eligible low income persons).. Dollars geared toward community improvements may be used as matching funds for other local grant applications or for streets, sidewalks, fire departments, garbage service, and other projects. An amount of $25,000 is set aside for county ad­ ministration of the proposed program. The HUD program would be a continuation of the type of grant the Orangeville area received last year. Funding of the Nashville area this time around is the first part of a proposed three-year program which designates the Woodland-Freeport area as recipients next year and Middleville the following year. HUD expects to give final approval by September 15 and funds should be released to eligible communities in October.

The Nashville Fire Department was summoned about 2:30 p.m. to the Gardner residence located just north of Butler Road intersection. Upon arriving at the scene, firemen found only the framework of the structure still standing, and totally engulfed in flames. High winds fanned the fire and ignited a field of com stubble located across the road from the barn. Nashville firemen were assisted by tankers of water and firemen from the Hastings Department, and a “grass buggy” from the Bellevue Fire Department was also summonded to aid in controlling the cornfield blaze. A bulldozer from the Conservation Department at Yankee Springs was brought to the scene to spread hay so the flames could be more easily extinquished. Lost in the blaze, in ad­ dition to a quantity of hay, was a 1953 auto parked in the barn. Killed in the fire was one of the family’s dog which, according to a fire department spokesman, was chained near the barn. The Gardner home was also in jeopary from the flames and an effort by the firefighters kept it from igniting. At the time of this report, information on the origin of the blaze and estimated dollar loss was not available.

Nashville. Wednetdoy. March 28, 1<79 — Page 2 Nashville News A warm and sunshiny weekend preceeded the official "first day of spring" last Wednesday, to give area residents a sneak preview of better days to come. The near-70 tem­ peratures brought Nashville folks outdoors to wash away winter's residue from house windows and autos. Some spent the weekent tidying their yards, while others just enjoyed biking, walking, and basking under our beautiful sunny skies Steam poured from the Sugar Shanty in Putnam Park from sunny Sunday through Wednesday last week, as the community maple syrup project gained mementum Several out-of-towners have stopped at the Sugar Shanty to chat, observe production, and, of course, sample the sweet produce. Four consecutive days of boiling had, at'this writing produced a total of 316 gallons of syrup. Harold Christiansen, president of the Nashville Syrup Association, said freezing nighttime temperatures or a good, wet snow are needed right now to again start the sap flowing at a good pace. Our recent extended warm spell has slowed the run, he explained, production is about at par for this time of year. Christiansen reports this season’s syrup is “very good” 'quality. He recalls an earlier March when a wet snow of about 6 inches fell and started the sap running at such a speed that buckets on the Putnam Park maples overflowed before the men could get through the snow to empty them into holding tanks. Christiansen has been doing most of the boiling again this year at the Sugar Shanty. Nelson Brumm has been helping a good deal too, as has Eldon Day, who does the canning of the syrup. Two resounding booms which sounded like an airplane striking her house, at the corner of Washington and Middle Street, awakened Mrs. Caroline Jones just before seven last Thursday morning. Immediately her neighbor, Mrs. Ronald Bracy, knocked on Mrs. Jones’ door to inform her that an unoccupied truck, which had been left running and parked along Washington Street, had apparently slipped out of gear, rolled back across the intersection, jumped a curb, and crashed into the Jones porch, causing quite extensive damage. Mrs. Bracy had been pulling out of her driveway just north of the Jones house and witnessed the incident. The truck reportedly belonged to Sherill Herman of Nashville, who was temporarily inside a Washington Street home at the time of the mishap The vehicle apparently sustained no serious damage, but posts and railing on Mrs. Jones’ west porch were knocked down and a west bedroom window was broken. Fortunately, Mrs. Jones was not sleeping in that room. She said she is just very glad the misfortunate in­ cident occured prior to school time when many children normally congregate at the intersection near her house to board buses at the Kellogg School. An April 1st “Men’s Breakfast” has been set for 7:30 a.m. at the Nashville United Methodist Church. Mrs. John (Sue) Bahs of Nashville will lead the group in singing at the event which proceeds Sunday morning worship service. Mrs. Nellie Moon of Nashville attended a WCTU meeting of the Hastings Union last Tuesday, at the home of Mrs. Carol Tobial of Nashville. Mrs. Moon says there is no longer a Nashville WCTU chapter, but there are about 30 members in the Hastings branch of the organization. Students at Lakeview High School, in Battle Creek Township, recently received the benefit of instruction from a variety of talented craftsmen, two of them from Nashville. Gerald and Jane Shoup participated in the school’s “Special Interest Day,” an annual event in which both students and teachers enjoy a welcome break in routine. A multitude of area artisans, representing a wide range of skills and in­ terests, became instructors for the day. Students are allowed to select the crafts in which they are most interested and elect to attend those classes. Jane demonstrated her hand-painting of hex signs, as she explained the history and symbolism behind them. Jerry showed his unique wood­ carving talent and also took along a collection of model steam engines which he has built from scratch (no kits). The Shoups, who have previously participated in the program, enjoy the day as much as the students. The first year they “instructed”, students packed the school auditorium to hear Jane speck on hex signs. So many youngsters had signed up for the session that a normal-sized classroom could not accommodate them all. Recent Sunday visitors at the home of Mrs. Caroline Jones of Nashville were her son and daughter-in-law, Bob and Hilda Jones, of Battle Creek. Mr. and Mrs. Jones were soon to be enroute to California to visit their daughter, Gale, a physical therapist at San Diego. Gale, a graduate of the University of California, has resided in that state the past few years. Mr. and Mrs. Dave Mace of Caledonia are expected to assume ownership of Simon Pharmacy this week. Mace has been manager of Lippert Pharmacy in Caledonia for several years. The Maces plan to move to Nashville in the near future. Mr. and Mrs. Clifton (Evelyn) Mason of rural Nashville returned home last Tuesday from an extended winter vacation which culminated in a tour of the Holy Land, In the latter part of December, the Masons left for Florida to spend some time with her daughter and family, Mr. and Mrs. Jack (Marilyn Lundstrum) Cooke at Miami. In January, the Masons joined several ministers and missionaries for a Caribben Cruise planned to celebrate fifty years of missionary work in the West Indies. In February, the Masons were members of a United Methodist Church group tour in which two 747 jits, filled with persons from the United States, flew to the Holy Land for bus tours which included stops at the traditional Biblical sites. On the return trip to the USA, the group stopped in Greece for sightseeing at Athens and Corinth. Cliff and Evelyn arrived back- in Michigan last week with an abundance of photos and slides depicting their 3 month adventure. For nearly forty years, Mrs. Margaret Wagner has operated a beauty salon at the same address on Nashville’s South Main Street, and now she had decided to retire and sell her home (in which the shop was located.) Margaret, who opened the salon in July of 1939, thinks it’s about time she had a rest. At this writing, she is expecting a weekend visit from her daughter and son-in-law, Irene and Thomas Lawler of Virginia, Minnesota. Our best wishes to Margaret for a happy retirement. Mr. and Mrs. Karl (Agness) Pufpaff will host an 8 p.m. meeting of the Nashville United Methodist Church Builder Class, Wednesday, March 28th, at their home on Morgan Road. Mrs. Helen Furlong of Nashville, and her twin sister, Mrs. Theo (Ruth) Kennedy of Hager Road, were in Cleveland, Ohio, the weekend of March 24th to attend the wedding of Mrs. Furlong’s grandson, John Burkhardt, to Debbie Layne. They were accompanied on the trip by Helen’s son and his wife, the Fred Burkhardts of Pinconning. Helen and Ruth returned to Nashville last Tuesday, and Helen reports the weather in Cleveland was absolutely beautiful, with the spring season somewhat more advanced than here. The Pastor-Parish Relations Committee of the Nashville United Methodist Church will meet at the church parsonage at 7:30 p.m. Tuesday, March 27. Larry Corkwell, and employee of Nashville’s Department of Public Works, completed a 5 day basic lab course at Michigan State University, the third week of March. Classes, sponsored by Michigan’s Department of Natural Resources, ' drew attendants from various-sized tmunicipalities throughout Michigan-most of them larger than Nashville. One young lady, an employee of the Bangor DPW, was the only female in a class of sixteen students. Basic lab procedures were learned, as well as studies of chemicals related to testing and treatment of waste water in municipal sewer facilities. In addition to day-long classes, which included many hours in a college lab, the students were also required to do considerable studying on their own time to prepare for Friday’s final exam. The class was part of Larry’s necessary training to earn his sewer plant operator’s license from the State of Michigan. Mrs. Charles Askins of Nashville enjoyed a visit last Tuesday from her son, Raymond Askins, of Boyne City. By Susan Hinckley Mrs. Elsie Ramsey of rural Nashville, having recovered from a month-long bout of illness, has been enjoying getting out again. She was an overnight guest last Monday evening of her daughter and son-in-law, Doris and Cleo Jackson, at Algonquin Lake near Hastings. Mrs. Caroline Jones was the first to spot our error in last week’s Nashville News item about Wolfe’s early bus lines from here to Battle Creek. It was Roy (not Ray) Wolfe who was responsible for what is believed to have been the first buslines in Michigan. Thanks to our alert readers, we may get Nashville’s histor recorded correctly before we’re done. An interesting letter last week from Wayne Fuller, a Nashville native now of Toledo, added a colorful footnote to our recent “Quailtrap School” story. Fuller also remembers the effective but popular teacher, Johnny Bowman, who left a lasting memory for many of his students. Perhaps Fuller’s recollect may explain one reason why Bowman was so wellremembered. “He had an Essex car and would take the kids for rides around the schoolhouse during the noon lunch period,” writes Fuller. At the time Bowman taught at the Quailtrap, he lived in Nashville in the present-day Boldrey house. Dr. Ottis Sayes, Chairman of the Religious Division of Olivet Nazarene College, will speak at the Nashville Church of the Nazarene during weekend services, March 30th through April 1st. The public is invited to attend the evening services to begin at 7:00 p.m. Mrs. Olive McIntyre, a former area resident now residing at the Barry County Medical Care Facility, was an honored attendant at last Tuesday’s meeting, of the Maple Grove Birthday Club, held at the home of Mrs. Bea Rogers of Dowling Road. At 92, Mrs. McIntyre is the oldest member of the club. Another special, long-time member who was able to join the gathering was Mrs. Celia Higby, a former Lacey area resident now of Battle Creek. Since Tuesday’s meeting was the first since Christmas, club members enjoyed sharing samples of their wintertime hobbies. Some of the items displayed for viewing were handmade quilts, lace tablecloths, knitted scarfs, and floral arrangments. “Secret pal” gifts were exchanged, to reveal the identity of each member’s 1978 pal. Names were then drawn for “secret pals” for the new year. A delicious noon carry-in dinner was enjoyed. Assisting Mrs. Rogers as co-hostess was Mrs. Ruby Ball of Nashville. Howard Allen ofNashville is home recuperating and doing well, following recent surgery at Pennock Hospital in Hastings. He was hospitalized for eight days. Mr. and Mrs. William (Darlene) Hammond of Kinsel Highway entertained their daughter and son-in-law, Jeri and Don Brinks, and son Jarrod, of Grand Rapids, for dinner last Sunday evening. The event was a belated birthday celebration for Don. Later in the evening, the family shared the festivities with the Hammond’s son, Jim, via a long distance phone call to him in Dallas, Texas, where he resides. Clifford Brooks brought two lovely Thanksgiving cactus plants to the Nashville Senior Citizen’s Nutrition Site last Thursday to share their beauty with others. Both plants had blossomed at Thanksgiving, but were again spourting new flowers, one a rosy-orange and the other white. Clifford NEWS FLASH!

It was an almost perfect season for Nashville High School’s football team of 1910. The boys had only been defeated once that year in encounters with such large schools as Grand Rapids Catholic, Grand Rapids Union, and Charlotte High. But today, no one seems to recall (and school records do not disclose) which team scored the sole victory over Nashville’s 1910 gridiron heroes. “They played teams quite some distance away,” recalls Mrs. May (Rothaar) Smith, widow of team captain J. Robert Smith, who in later years became-a wellknown Nashville barber. Team members used their own autos for transportation to “away” games, Mrs. Smith remembers.

The objective is to identify all children, grades 1—12 that are not adequately immunized and get them caught up. Prompting this program was the high in­ cidence of Measles in our schools last year. Each student’s im­ munization record will be brought up to date with the help of parents who will supply any additional dates the school may not have. We are urging you, as parents, to check each child’s record and see if they are needing any immunization. M.D.P.H. minimum requirements are as follows: 3 dose of DPT (Diphtheria, Whooping Cough, Tetanua) or D.T. as long as the 3rd dose was given 6 or more months following 2nd dose. Any child who had not had a Tetanus shot in the past 10 years needs a D.T. booster. 3 Polio doses are required with 6 or more months between last 2 doses. If injectable vaccine was given, at least 1 oral polio is needed. 1 Measles injection if 1 year of age and given after January 1967. 1 Rubella (Need in­ jection date or results of titer). In addition to the minimum requirements, the local Health Dept., along with the American Academy of Pediatrics strongly recommends additional doses of DPT and Oral Polio vaccine. (OPV). During this time we will be extending the regular Charlotte Immunization Clinic hours to 8:30 a.m. to 114)0 a.m. and 1:00 to 4:30 p.m. on the 1st Wednesday of each month at 528 Beech Street in Charlotte.

Howard joined the Nash­ ville Lions Club in 1976 and has maintained a perfect attendance record since then. He has served on nearly every project sponsored by the club after he became a member and he held the office of 2nd vice­ president for the 1977-78 year. Also currently serving as program chairman, Phil is responsible for securing a variety of presentations, both informative and en­ tertaining, for the Lions’ monthly dinner meeting. According to club protocol, Phil will advance to the'post of Nashville Lions president on September 1st, 1979. “As I enter the year in which I will hold the office of president, I have set several Lionism goals,” Howard commented.

Also a Michigan-licensed real estate salesperson, he will soon join the Wolever Real Estate office in Nash­ ville. Phil is married to the former Sue Skedgell of Nashville and they have two children, Angela, 4, and Rebecca, 1.

A pair of turtles spent a day at Kellogg School in Nashville last week much to the delight of Mrs. Sandy Briggs' sixth grade class. The visit by the reptiles coincided with a study unit on turtles, invertebrates and vertebrates. Students named the smaller turtle (on the left) "Jerkie" and the other "Green Martha" who proved to be camera shy and refused to poke her head out when the photo of the class was taken.

Sketch depicts a proposed renovation of downtown Nashville Nashville Chamber president Charles Andrus Jr. discusses his sketch of a proposed seven-year plan to renew and expand the downtown business district, greatly increase parking space, and hopefully attract new business to the village. The plan provides for a plaza with a covered walk, set back from the present stores on the west side of Main Street. To put the proposed plan into perspective, Andrus is pointing to the drawing of Security National Bank to show its location in relation to the proposed site of the plaza in the background. Andrus stresses that the proposal is "not a massive plan to change downtown all at one time." "There was a ton of new construction (in Nashville) at the turn of the century. Most of the buildings have a life expectancy of 80-120 years. We're at the point where we have to start to make plans because the life expectancy (of many buildings on that strip of Main) is about over. They're (the buildings) good today but, we have to start to plan for tomorrow," he said..

It was called to discuss and try to resolve contracts between Police (Sheriffs Dept.) and the two groups. Also some sort of pay for our fireman and ambulance needs. It makes no difference whether you live in rural area or in the Metropolis, the need for your protection, Fire, Police, Ambulance services are equally the same, the cost of rural services being the more costly. This cost and the lack of our monies designated for these services are quite far apart. This is a responsibility we all must share. Budgets were blown apart by the priority of the need for Fire, Ambulance, Police programs. I, personally was pleased at the action and how the decisions were arrived at our Village and Township of­ ficials do care about their consituents. I sympathize with Mr. Frith and his board and the concern shows about our roads. The lack of monies is the stumbling block in that Dept. I’m of the opinion that more persons should be attending Council and Township Board meeting to make the voice heard and lend themselves to the support of their feelings. Good construction criticism is healthy and helpful. Let’s be there and give a hand to better and more effective government. * * * —NOTICE— * for the 39th Annual Maple Syrup Festival Parade to be held Saturday, April 28th.

This operates by ultra-sound and will take the blood pressure on newborns even if they are born premature. The hospital presently is unable to take blood pressure on newborn because it does not have an instrument such as this that is sensitve enough to do so. 4. Infant suction device. This machine will be used in the nursery. It will indicate the amount of pressure being used on a newborn when suction is required. “Our present central suction system does not indicate the amount of pressure. This is important to know when caring for the newborn or infants,” states Darwin Finkbeiner, Hospital Administrator, refering to the infant suction machine. Mr. Finkbeiner says, “there is no question but what this significant con­ tribution will assist greatly in our efforts toward treating the newborn and pediatric patient and will be of real benefit of patients for several eyars to come.” The Capitol Chapter is Tri­ county, Eaton, Ingham and Clinton.

Bill and Mary Hecker returned last week from a twoweeks trip to Florida, where they enjoyed visiting Bill’s sister and her husband, Jeanne and Bill Graf, at their new winter home on the Intercoastal Waterway at Delray Beach. The Heckers later toured the Gulf Coast of Florida, stopping to visit friends at Naples and Lake Panasoffkee, where they called on Dr. R. E. White, a former Nashville resident. Dr. White is doing well following eye surgery last year and enjoys fishing nearly every day. On the return trip home, the Heckers toured the Savannah River waterfront area at Savannah, Georgia. Old cotton warehouses from the Civil War era have been restored to house a variety of quaint shops along the river. Enroute home, the Heckers en­ countered snow in the Smokey Mountains which hampered sightseeing in that picturesque area but Florida weather was generally very pleasant throughout their stay. Of course, Michigan had a “white carpet” welcome awaiting them, as our most recent snow fell just prior to their arrival home. Also returning last week from a three-weeks stay in Florida were Bill’s parents, the William H. Heckers of Nash­ ville, who arrived home by plane. They had been driven to Florida by daughter Jeanne, who was making one of numerous trips south to settle her new home there. Maple Valley students are enjoying a holiday from studies this week, as annual spring vacation started Monday . School resumes April 9th. Interesting footnote on last week’s “Memories” story of Nashville High School’s 1910 football team; our earlier research could not pinpoint the exact year Nashville had organized a team. Subsequently, an old Nashville News story has put the date at 1905. Discovered in a “Fifty Years Ago” item in a September 1956 paper was the following paragraph: “The high school football team, which made such a good showing last year, has been reorganized and Principal Head has been chosen manager. There is plenty of good material, and the boys hope to arrange a number of games as soon as they have some practice. The team needs suits and other equipment, and the people of the town should be willing to contribute something towardgetting the boys on their feet. Who will start the ball rolling?” According to this, we can assume the team of 1910 probably represented the fifth year Nashville High School had entered football competition. Incidentally, Harold (“Fuzzy”) Woodward of Nashville was the first to spot an error in last week’s story. Player Irland’s name was Ray, not Bill, as information supplied us had indicated. Bill Irland, local pool hall operator and short-order cook, was the father of Ray who later also went into the restaurant business of his own. Mrs. Azalia Spidel of Nashville was able to return home last week from Pennock Hospital where she had recently undergone surgery for removal of a tumor. She is recovering well. Billy Spear, a nationally-known gospel singer, will per­ form at the 7 p.m. worship service at the Nashville Baptist Church, Sunday, April 22nd. Mrs. Eda Eilliston of Nashville was pleasantly surprised recently when twenty-eight relatives, bearing cake and ice cream, dropped by her house to help her celebrate her 80th birthday. Present for the occasion were grandchildren great-grandchildren, and a nephew of his family, Mr. and Mrs. Bill Link and children, of Bellevue. It was a very en­ joyable evening for Eda who says she doesn’t feel her age. La Duska Sheldon, Putnam Librarian, and Darlene Hammond of Kinsel Highway, were honored last Wednesday to serve as balloting assistants at a White House Conference on Libraries and Information Services, held at the Lansing Civic Center, March 27th and 28th. Citizens and library representatives from throughout Michigan participated in the sessions as part of a nationwide program originally By Susan Hinckley instituted by then-Congressman Gerald Ford. The purpose of the White House conference in Lansing was to generate input from a network of citizen’s committees formed in the state to support development of improved library and in­ formation services. A goal of the Lansing meeting, attended by 239 delegates from throughout Michigan, was to help individuals become more aware of library services and offer training in uses of library facilities. Mrs. Sheldon and Mrs. Hammond were selected by the Michigan Department of Education State Library Services to participate in last week’s event and were responsible for tallying votes cast by the delegates on a number of proposals. A national White House Conference will be held in Washington, D.C., in Oc­ tober. Mrs. William (Virginia) Cox, a former resident now of Houston, Texas, was recently back home for a visit and was honored in an early celebration of her April 1st birthday. She and friends, Mrs. Gloria Johncock, Mrs. Barbara Gagne, and Mrs. Barbara Mix, all of Nashville, gathered at the Steakhouse Restaurant for a dinner complete with a lovely birthday cake for Virginia. Ard and Iza Decker returned last week form a nearly twoweeks trip to Florida. Accompanying them on the journey was their granddaughter, Marcia Elliston of Nashville, and Iza’s sister, Mrs. Ena Johnson of Hastings. At Brooksville, Florida, they called on Mr. and Mrs. Clarence Cunningharp (She is the former Thelma Jarrard, a sister Iza and Ena). Tours of Cypress Garden and Sea World were enjoyed. Ard reports they had good weather all the time they were gone, until they arrived back in Michigan. He also said they saw countless cars with Ontario plates, an indication perhaps that many Canadians were also happy to escape some of our harsh winter. Mr. and Mrs. Arthur (Margaret) Bateman returned to Nashville recently after nearly three-months wintering at Clearwater Beach, Florida. They experienced good weather during their stay although it was a bit cool when the Batemans arrived there in early January, but much more pleasant than the weather they had left behind in Michigan Nelson Brumm and Rev. Leonard Putnam of Nashville will attend the Lions Club District Convention at the Ramada Inn in Grand Rapids next Friday and Saturday, April 6th and 7th. Nelson is secretary-treasurer of the local organization and Rev. Putnam is president. Following the Saturday noon conclusion of the convention, Rev. and Mrs. Putnam will travel to her hometown of South Haven to at­ tend another Lions Club “doings” there.

Wednesday, April 4. 1979 — Page 3 Memories of the past . . by Susan Hinckley Although all roads may have led to Nashville, the village did not know the luxury of brick-paved streets for nearly fifty years following its incorporation and, in some instances, portions of major municipal thoroughfares did not afford “smooth sailing’’ for motorists until middepression years. One early step in the right direction, toward advancing the growth of Nashville, was construction of a iron truss bridge to span the Thor- Nashville News continued— £&N$ ASiS w S^‘ss ?MS *?iM *5S*\ hjsSe hjsSfe hjSf 22S:^S?

A scrumptious smorgasboard dinner at a local resort highlights the festivities and is widely attended by community residents. For Mrs. Putnam, whose father lives at South Haven, the occasion is a pleasant opportunity to renew acquaintances with many hometown friends. Some complaints are being received about dogs running loose, which seems to be a perennial problem. Village residents are reminded to observe the local ordinance governing control of dogs and forbiddng them to be allowed to run at random. The law not only provides protection for the property of others, but may very well save lives of family pets that run haphazardly through village street and highways. A second tour of Putnam Public Library, under the guidance of library historian Mrs. Jane Shoup, will be conducted next Monday evening, April 9th, at 7 p.m. as part of the monthly meeting of the new “Friends of the Library” group. Anyone interested in aiding the promotion of our local library is invited to join the tour and learn about the goals of the “Friends” organization. Carroll (“Pete”) and Joyce Lamie of Nashville returned home last Thursday evening after a three-weeks visit with son Roger, his wife Margaret, .and two children at Ft. Belvoir, Virginia. The Lamies made the trip by air, departing and arriving at Lansing. Virginia was enjoying beautiful spring weather with traditional early flowers in blossom. However, the cherry trees are expected to blossom a little late this year, Joyce reports. Roger, who is a T-Sgt. with the U.S. Air Force, had accepted a new assignment at Colorado Springs, Colorado, and will soon be enroute there with his family, traveling by way of Michigan. They are expected to arrive in Nashville next Saturday, April 7th, for a short visit. Roger will be stationed at Peterson Air Force Base in Colorado but will work off-base at a facility located in Colorado Springs. The Nashville Chamber of Commerce will meet at the Steakhouse Restaurant next week Wednesday, April 11th. Mrs. Ahmo Jordan is in charge of reservations for the 7 p.m. dinner which will preceed the business meeting. Over one thousand persons were present at the Nashville Baptist Church Sunday, March 25th, to hear Phil Kerns speak. Author of the book, “People’s Temple, People’s Tomb”, Kerns is a former member of the religious cult led by Jim Jones and lost his mother and a sister in the recent tragedy at Jonestown, Guyana. Speaking next Sunday, April 8th, at the Nashville Baptist Church will be former coach Floyd Eby of Coldwater, author of several books and well-known sports figure.

Main Street, Nashvi|le nappie River on North Maia “The new bridge is ex­ pected here this week and will be installed as soon as the weather is right,” reported the Nashville News during the first week of May 1899. Apparently the weather was right. Editor-publisher Orno Strong commented in the same issue: “Not for years "has the locality had such an early spring. Grass is three weeks ahead of last year and all crops about the same. Everything points toward a good summer.” And in Nashville it was a good summer. The new iron i bridge replaced an old wooden crossing located to the south­ west of the present-day bridge site - amajor move, but not the only one, in developing Nashville’s potential. Communication' facilities were also been improved for the village in the spring of 1899. “Poles are going up rapidly for the Citizens . Telephone line being strung from Hastings,” the News reported in May. “The line is coming to Nashville by way of Thornapple Lake, Morgan and along the road east to Price’s corner.” The old line running from Nashville to Hastings had been purchased by John LakeTwho planned to use the poles and wire for fencing on his farm. Perhaps Lake also benefited indirectly from his purchase. Five years later, in 1904, the News announced they were printing the new telephone directory for the Citizens Telephone Company with the comment, “You will note a great increase in the number of telephones, particularly among far­ mers.” Although the village “made do” with graveled streets until nearly its half­ century mark, early upkeep was no picnic. In the mld1870’s, Editor Strong noted that South Main was being graded, hopefully adding that perhaps “village fathers might find enough money by spring to install a little gravel.” Funding was apparently not the only problem facing village fathers in their street improvement projects. “Last Saturday was in­ deed a trying day for law abiding people in Nashville,” Editor Strong observed in a mid-1870’s report “When the street paving gang paid off at noon, the workers, almost without exception, headed for the saloons, and by mid-afternoon the business district was a desgraceful sight. Curly Matthews, who is in charge of the stone laying, engaged in a bloody fight with a big Finn who is employed as a sawyer in Smith’s yards and there was a dozen lesser fights.” “Three members of the Village council met in­ formally and routed out the marshal, who made five arrests during the early evening. All five were jailed overnight, released on Sunday and fined five dollars a piece on Monday mor­ ning,” Strong concluded. The “paving” referred to by Strong was apparently nothing more than a stone laying project and, such difficulties notwithstanding, the village fathers decided in In a 1906 photo, Nashville’s North Main Street winds its way through an 1899 truss bridge across the Thornapple River. Although the village's business district was paved with brick in 1917, this stretch of road remained gravel until a 1934 NRA project replaced the iron span with concrete.

We’re proud of our Spartan players—people like them make our state Number 1! ~ Minimum Wage—The state minimum wage of $2.90 an hour now applies to those employers who have two or more employees and to those workers 65 and older. Before, the minimum-wage law covered only firms with 4 or more workers and excluded over-65’s. New Jobs—Recent figures show that 1978 was a record year for new Michigan investment under 1974’s Plant Rehabilitation Act: over $2 billion of new investment was generated and a total of 45,000 jobs were created or retained due to its incentives. Summer Comp?—The Court of Appeals has ruled that a state law which bars school employees from collecting unemployment benefits during summer months is constitional. The court said this policy of denying benefits when employees traditionally do not work is justified by the nontypical character of school employment and the limited financial resources of schools. Diesel Buses—The number of Michigan’s 530 school districts that use one or more diesel buses is now at 4 percent (20) and growing. Diesels are gaining in popularity not only because they save up to 50 percent on fuel, but also because they need less maintenance. Pot Penalty—Some campus communities have local or­ dinances on use of marijuana and alcohol which are less strict than state law, with some setting only a $5 fine for those offenses. Now the Court of Appeals has ruled that people charged under such local laws can also be charged under state statutes, since those laws always take precedence over local ones. Energy Info—The State Energy Administration estimates that some 50,000 Michigan families could save 20 to 30 percent of home heating and cooling energy by following suggestions of Project Conserve. To participate, write Box 30228, Lansing 48909, or call 800-292-1556.

On the evening of March 9th, 28 of our group traveled AMA publishes list of Doctors looking for a place to practice — Chicago Does your communtiy need a doctor? Good news: You’ll find some 5,076 listings of physicians looking for a new place, to practice in the latest edition of Physician Placement Register, just published by the American Medical Association. The body of the Register, 114 pages, consists of capsule resumes of all physicians who have registered with the AMA’s Physician Placement Service. The 67-page index makes it easy to find the physicians who are in­ terested in practicing in your part of the country and your size of community. Further information about any of the listed doctors can be obtained by filling out a simple form, included in the Register, and mailing if to the Placement Service. A national clearinghouse, the Physicians’ Placement Service has been helping physicians and “openings” find each other since 1944. More than 9,00o requests form communities, organizations, and physicians were processed by the Placement Service last year. And the Placement Service mailed out more than 59,000 detailed resumes and descriptions of openings in response to those requests. Physicians who have registered with the Placement Service receive a 126-page listing of currently Revenue: Castleton Township *6,000.00 Maple Grove Township ....................................... 6,000.00 Village of Nashville ................................. 6,000.00 Kalamo Township 1,200.00 Refund from Burnham & Flower Agency (Ins.) ................ 53.60 Refund from Spartan Motors (Federal Excise Tax) 2.00 .

Edward Rhoades talked to us one day .with many interesting reminiscences from his childhood, pointing out how many years good memories linger; how people are prone to remember more of the finer experiences from life available openings for physicians. The latest listing contains 5,178 entries. A physician can obtain further information about any of the openings from the Placement Service. “Most of the current openings for doctors, that we know of, are neither in small, rural communities nor large cities,” says Daniel K. Harris, director of the Physicians’ Placement Service, “Our average registration is from a community about the size of a medium suburb, around 25,000 to 35,000 people.” “Fewer than 8 percent of registrations are from communities of under 2,500 people and less than 11 percent are from cities with over 500,000 population. To receive a copy of the Physician Placement Register, a community or organization must first register its opening (or openings) for a physician with the Placement Service, Harris explains. “We cannot guarantee that the latest edition of the Register has the right doctor for any given community. But we update the Register quarterly, and each edition always contains several hundred new entries. “And, of course,” he adds, “we will be happy to con­ tinue providing new editions of the Register until the community’s or organization’s need has been filled.” *2,065.24 TOTAL ASSETS: *2,065.24 Liabilities A Fund Balances: Accured Payroll Taxes Fund Balance ................................. , *394.23 1,671.01 TOTAL LIABILITIES 8 FUND BALANCE: *2,065.24 Fund Balance *1,671.01 as of 3/31/79 GENEVA BRUMM, TrMsarsr Caitltton Township Restricted Fin Fend .^-X^X^X^X^X^X^-X^X^X^X^X^X^X^X^X^X^K^X^M., WE WILL BE CLOSED April 13,1979 from , . 12 Noon to 3 P.M. in observance of Good Friday.

Memories of the past (cont. from pg. 3) pleted by October 22, 1917. The Ironside brick, brought to Nashville from Terre Haute, Ind., for the job, sustained the village’s Main Street traffic for the next 32 years. In the summer of 1949 another crew of workmen, this time from Globe Con­ struction Co. of Kalamazoo, spread two applications of bituminous aggregate over the old brick pavement, making a smooth 3-inch thick top covering.

Out of the 22 exhibits displayed at the convention, only six were awarded the highest honor, the Gold Award. Maple Valley's exhibit was created by (from left) Donna Morrison, Denise Morrison, Arthur Allwardt, and Leroy Wright who are shown with their winning entry. Tim Gearhart, not pictured, also worked to make the exhibit. The chapter plans to exhibit its winning entry at area fairs this year. The theme of the exhibit tests the viewer's knowledge of identifying plants such as the Golden Barrel, Golden Pothos, Grape Ivy, Zebra and Jade. By matching the correct numbered button (each with a plant name beside it) with a numbered plant picture a buzzer will sound to let the viewer know his answer was correct.

Box A, Nashville, Michigan Phone 945-9554 (Hastings) The Maple Valley News, Vol. 105, No. 47, April 11, 1979 Area citizens gather for ‘town hair meeting with Wolpe Discussion of the national energy crisis consumed much of Saturday’s “Townhall Meeting” with U.S. Rep. Howard Wolpe (DDelta). as nearly fifty area citizens gathered at Castleton Township Hall in Nashville to offer input sought by the newly-elected Third District Congressman. The event was the eleventh such meeting Wolpe has conducted in his district during the past two months. Acting as a sounding board for a variety of man-on-thestreet problems, Wolpe made notes and responded to numerous individual, communtiy, and national problems in thetwo-hour session. Wolpe toldthegroup he instituted the townhall meetings to establish con­ tinuing communications between his constituents and himself. He said he wanted to be able to discuss citizen’s problems with them “faceto-face” felt people in his district should not have to write or call Washington, D.C., to reach him. Wolpe advised the audience that he maintains a regional office in Kalamazoo, responsible for Barry and Kalamazoo Counties; has established a small office which he or a staff member will operate throughout his district An itinerary of planned s tops for the mobile unit will be available, Wolpe added. The congressman fielded questions on many subjects Saturday, but the primary issue seemed to center on President Carter’s Thursday evening energy message and the recent mishap at the Three Mile Island nuclear plant at Harrisburg, Penn. Wolpe said he was very disappointed with Carter’s energy message, citing what he feld would be “incredibly higher petroleum prices” placing a “burden on middle­ income folks”, while oil companies made higher profits. “And nuclear power is not the answer,” contended Wolpe, who feels the real danger is that we do not know how to safely dispose of nuclear waster. Wolpe sees the Three-Mile Island disaster as sort of a blessing in disguise. “We have seen the potential (hazard), now we can do something about it,” he explained. Wolpe believes that energy problems are political, not technological. He said we have the knowledge and research available for alternative sources. “But how do we challenge the power that is making Conf. pg. 6 — Some of the approximately 50 persons who attended the Town Hall Meeting Castleton Township Hall, Saturday, are shown as they listen to Third District Con­ gressman Howard Wolpe.

Vermontville farm designated as State Centennial Farm A farm owned by Curtis and Alberta Rockafellar Route Nft 1, Allegan Road. Vermontville, Michigan has been designated as a Cen­ tennial Farm by the Division of Michigan History. The farm, located in Chester Township, Eaton County, has been in the possession of the ■ family since 1877. It was originally purchased August 10,1877 by Charles Dean, grandfather of the present owner, from Peter Garrett. Secretary of State Richard H. Austin, whose Depart- ment administers the Centennial Farm program, said the program was inaugurated in 1948. SiiiCc then, more than 3000 Michigan farms have been certified as Centennial Farms. Certificates are provided by the Divsion of Michigan History. Large metal markers are provided by the Detroit Edison and Con­ sumers Power Companies. Explains Austin, “A Centennial Farm is one which has been in the con­ tinuous possession ofthe same family for 100 years or more.” For this purpose, the jr gan History Divsion jffirfMgan considers a farm to be either 10 or more acres having estimated farm - product sales of more than $50 yearly, or less than 10 acres having estimated sales of at least $250 yearly. A cen­ tennial farm comprises only the land and not the farm buildings, which may be remodeled or even new. �The Maple Valley News, Nashville, Wednesday, April 11, 1979— Page 2 Nashville News Violent snow squall blasted Nashville and vicinity last Thursday night and Friday, with wind gusts up to 60 miles per hour dropping temperatures to a 25-below-zero chill index. Power outages were reported throughout a widespread area of Michigan but, at the time of this report, had not affected local residents. Incullement weather and flight problems caused by an airlines strike did not prevent Mrs. Larry (Suzy) Corkwell, daughters, Becky and Lisa, and friend, Cindy Elliston, of Nashville from enjoying a recent 8 day trip to Colorado Springs to visit Suzy’s sister, Sheryl West, and her children, Scott and Julie. Bad weather delayed the flight from Grand Rapids west, and a power outage at the airport in Colorado hampered landing, requiring the plane to set down some distance out on the runway. Then, United Airlines em­ ployees struck and return tickets home were finally ob­ tained through TWA, but only with provisions to bring the travelers as far as Chicago. When they arrived Thursday night at O’Hare Airport there, high winds had delayed landings and forced the TWA plane to circle for an hour. Mrs. Gloria Johncock and son, Doug, of Nashville were waiting to greet the weary travelers. However, an enjoyable stay with Sheryl at her residence near the “Garden of the Gods” at the base of the mountains had made the travel troubles worthwhile. Surprisingly, eleven-and-a-half inches of snow fell on Colorado Springs in three hours time Monday, snarling traffic as the area has no snow removal equipment and motorists lack winter driving skills. But by early Tuesday, “Mother Nature” had taken care of the problems. A warm sun had melted all the snow in the streets. The Nashville Chamber of Commerce will meet at 7:00 p.m. Wednesday, April 11th, for a dinner at the Steakhouse Restaurant. Mrs. Ahmo Jordan is in charge of reservation. Steam rolled from Nashville’s Sugar Shanty in Putnam Park for the last time this year as Harold Christiansen and Nelson Brumm completed the final boiling last Tuesday morning. Cleanup work began the same day, with storage tanks and pipes being flushed, and Wednesday, the two men washed the pans and evaporator. The 1979 season netted approximately 525 gallons of syrup for the Nashville Syrup Association, according to Geneva Brumm, secretarytreasurer of the organization. Allocation of the proceeds will be computed next month by Mrs. Brumm, who has the responsibility of dividing the profits among the various organizaitons participating in the community-wide project. She must first tally expenses, which will include the cost of 800 new sap buckets added this year. The community syrupmaking project is a tradition started in 1942 at the urging of • Len W. Feighner, longtime editor and publisher of the Nash­ ville News. Feighner first suggested the idea during World War I, as an alternative for sugar which was scarce and expensive. WhenWorldWar II came on the scene, along with sugar rationing, some local civic-minded citizens took Feighner’s advice and the community syrup project was born. Since that humble beginning, syrup making in Nash­ ville had evolved and expanded to become a major springtime event. Proceeds from the annual production have benefited many civic projects in the community. Get Your...

Traditional spring outing brought repeat customers from Southfield, Saugatuck, and Edmore to buy Nashville’s sweet produce. Guests from the greatest distance were two foreign ex­ change students-one from South America and the other from Africa. The April dinner meeting of the Nashville Lions Club will be held next Monday, the 16th, at the Catholic Church Community Room. Speaker for the 7 p.m. event will be Jerry Teller of Battle Creek, a representative of Michigan Bell Telephone Company. Teller will explain rate charges, phone company services, and inform the Lions about special phone equipment available for handicapped individuals. Clarence and Hazel Spidel returned home to Nashville last week after a months stay at Vero Beach, Florida, and Hazel, who works at the local post office, is sporting a beautiful tan. The Spidels enjoyed daily walks on the beach with sunny skies and warm weather, mostly in the 70 degree range. They had rain only a couple of nights. While the Spidels made Vero Beach their headquarters, several side trips were enjoyed including a tour of Busch Gardens. Petie Latta of Nashville has shown some improvement following recent laser treatment for a detached right retina. A checkup in Grand Rapids last Tuesday revealed that she has regained increased vision in the eye, and will probably not require surgery as had first been thought. Petie expects to be offwork a bit longer for recuperation. Jennifer and Jimmy Merritt, children of Jerry and Pat Merritt of Marshall, spent several days of their spring vacation last week visiting their grant-grandmother, Mrs. Edna Gibbons of Nashville. Celebrating their 75th wedding anniversary on April 20th will be former Nashville residents, Rev. and Mrs. Lloyd Mead of St. Petersburg, Florida. Both the Meads are 95 years of age and not in good health. He is a brother of Mrs. Clarence (“Bunny”) Shaw of Nashville and was a former Methodist pastor here and at Barryville. For folks who might wish to send congratulations to the Meads, their address is 2701 52nd Way, North. Their zip code in St. Petersburg is 33710. The Nashville Garden Club met last Tuesday at the home of Mrs. Will (Beth) Suntken of Nashville. Program booklets outlining the organization’s planned activities for the year were distributed to members, who were meeting for the first time since December. Mrs. Robert Barnhart demonstrated the art of painting on cloth with tube paints and provided material so the ladies could try their hand at the craft of liquid embroidery. Tea committee for the event was Mrs. Esta Day and Mrs. Nellie Moon. Mr. and Mrs. Lawrence Horn of Nashville have moved into the former David Ackett home on Middle Street. The Ackett family has moved north of town on Clark Road, near Bayne. The Horns previously resided on Fuller Street. Gerald Shoup of Nashville spoke to the Bellevue Historical Society last Thursday evening, at a special dinner meeting held at the Bellevue Public Library. Shoup’s collection of antique bottles was the subject of his presentation. Mrs. Homer (Tecla) Snow entertained members of the UShare-It-Extension Club at her home Friday, March 23rd, for a home-cooked Italian dinner. Ten members were present for the event, which was followed by the month’s lesson pertaining to cosmetics. Tecla, a native of Italy, would like readers to know about a new Italian organization that has recently been revitalized in Battle Creek. Called “Club Italia”, the group presently has approximately 150 members and is seeking other in­ terested individuals. Club membership is open to Italian natives and descendants. Goals of the organization, which meets monthly, will include conducting classes in Italian language andjcooking; participating in Battle Creek’s an­ nu “Ethnic Festival nual v ”; and other family y activities, v , such u as old-fashioned Italian picnics in the summertime. A dinner meeting of the new group was held the last Saturday in March at the Rosario Supper Club in Battle Creek. An Italian dinner was followed by native musical talent, including vocal and accordian selections by club members. Tecla enjoyed the opportunity of meeting several Battle Creek area residents who, like herself, were “war brides” from Italy. Local readers interested in obtaining more in­ formation on “Club Italia” may call Tecla (Mrs. Homer Snow) at her Nashville home. Recent Sunday callers at the home of Mrs. Edith Jones of Nashville were her son and daughter-in-law, Mr. and Mrs. EmeryJones of near Delton, who had just returned to Michigan following a trip to Ruskin, Florida. Several recent donations of books, periodicals and money have been received by Putnam Public Library due to community interest stimulated by recent promotional ef­ forts of the newly-formed “Friends of the Library” group. The most recent donors are Linda Furlong, Mary Hay Raymond Ashcraft, Laurie Kipp, Isabelle Pfaff, Clarence Garvey, Thomas Leonard, Lyle French, Alice Keihl, and Gsorgs B. Dfiaii. The Putiiaui Library staff is most appreciative of all these various donations which will benefit library patrons. Mrs. Charles Askins of Nashville recently accompanied h son,, Raymond her Ry d Askins Aki off Boyne By City, on a weekend k d trip tip to t Albion to visit her grandson, Craig Askins, who is a student at Albion College. Thursday afternoon visitors last week at the home of Mrs Bertha Becker of Nashville were her granddaughter Mrs Glenda Hardenburg of Eagle; Glenda’s daughter Sarahand her parents-in-law, Mr. and Mrs. Elmer Hardenbure also of Eagle. B’ Mrs. Gladys Miller of Nashville returned home last week following a two-week long trip to Burbank, California where she visited her nephew and his wife, Mr. and Mrs’ Larry Jones, and called on other relatives. Mrs. Miller made the journey by Amtrack, spending two days and nights on the train. She encountered some rain during her stay in By Susan Hinckley California but enjoyed two weekends of lovely weather while there. Retiring after thirty years, at General Foods in Battle Creek, Nate Sheldon of Nashville was honored at a special party staged by Building No. 17 employees of the Post division. Workers on all three floors of the building attended the Friday afternoon event, March 30th. Yellow and chocolate cakes, decorated with designs of miniature fish to symbolize Nate’s sporting interests, were served along with ice cream and punch. Nate was presented with a monetary gift from his co-workers and also received a 30-year ring, containing two rubies and a diamond, from General Foods. Prior to the party, Nate had received a special honorary plaque from the general manager of the plant. Readers, please test your memories. Does anyone recall a Merrill Donald McVean who attended school in Nashville and would now be about 65 years old? The whereabouts of McVean is being sought by his daughter, Mrs. Ethel Whitney of Quimby, who has not seen her father in 35 years. Mrs. Whitney was a very small child at that time, and has very little information to aid her in her search. She- knows only that her father was born in 1913 and lived with an aunt in Nashville while he attended school here. Anyone with in­ formation to offer may call this reporter or contact Mrs Whitney at 945-5144. Mrs. Verna Frederick of Nashville spent a recent weekend -visiting her friend, Mrs. Dorothy Vickers, at Battle Creek and enjoyed attending a wildlife film at the W.K. Kellogg Auditorium there. On Sunday, Mrs. Frederick called on her sister and brother-in-law, Mr. and Mrs. Harold Smith of Fair Lake. The Smiths and Verna enjoyed dinner out at a restaurant near Gun Lake. Mr. and Mrs. Lorin Garlinger of Nashville returned last week from a three-weeks trip to Florida where they had the opportunity to call on several friends, including some for­ mer Nashville folks. They visited Frances and Mike Dooley at Estero; Doris and Bruce Randall at Ft. Myers Beach; and Rose and Al Smith at Largo. At Naples, the Garlingers spent two days calling on some retired Naval friends whom they had not seen in 25 years. Lorin retired in 1955 as a Lt. Commander in the U.S. Navy after 23 years of service, so a stop at Mobile to tour the U.S.S. Alabama, which is perper­ manently docked there, was of particular interest to the Garlingers. Crossing the Everglades in Florida was another interesting experience. Despite congested traffic along the route, the Garlingers were able, to view swamp-buggy races iin progress. Large crowds of spectators had congregated near the roadway to watch the competition, as the machines soared across the waters of the Everglades. Good Friday services will be conducted April 10th at the Nashville United Methodist Church as a combined effort of community churches.

In a humorous vein, the News reported that State Senator C. L. Glasglow and Von W. Furniss (both prominent local businessmen) were the first “prisoners” in the new Nashville jail. “They (Glasglow and Furniss) were inspecting the completed bastile when some practical joker slammed the cage door shut and quietly disappeared,” the writer explained. The men were released about half an hour later, the story continued. If commercial, industrial, and municipal expansion were not enough to intirgue residents in 1906, the village also experience a phenomenon new to it that autumn. “Nashville went through the throes of its first labor strike this week,” the News revealed in early September. The incident involved a water main across the Thornapple River which was being taken apart and l lowered to prevent its freezing during severe winter weather. The un­ dertaking was apparently quite an extensive operation, even to the point of leaving the village without water for fire protection for two days. At any rate, the workers obviously wearied of the situation. “Street Com­ missioner Bill Woodward was working on the water main job on the river Monday when some of his laborers, who were drawing $2.50 per day, announced they would quit work unless they were promised $3.50 per day.

However, the local firemen advised n were enroute the situation was under control and returned to their station.

Thursday evening, during blustery wind squalls, the Nashville firefighters were summoned to the Chester Beardslee Beardslee residence, residence, a nursing-care home located south of town on Maple Grove Road. A chimney had blown down in the 60-mile per hour gusts, causing smoke to blow back into the house. With the smoke ceare, cleared, the e firemen re again returned to base. The Nashville Fire Department had also been summoned south of town Wednesday wheif an afternoon alarm was sounded for a reported house fire at the Ronald.James residence on Lawrence Highway, just west of Curtis Road.

Luckily, the fire had been spotted by the family just prior to their departure from home. If it had not been noticed at that time, Mrs. James said, chances are good the house might have suffered very extensive damage.

(4-10) Action Ads BATTLE The old Hosmer School on M-66, most recently known as the Castleton Country Club, has been sold to John Matter of Nashville and the proceeds have been donated to the Nashville Fire Department and the Castleton-Maple GroveNashville Ambulance Ser­ vice. The decision to donate the proceeds of the sale to the two departments was made by the country club board of directors and members who were present at a recent meeting. Checks of $500 each were presented to the depart­ ments last week. Matter, who purchased the club building, already owns property which adjoins the former schoolhouse and plans to use it as an access to his land. The old schoolhouse, located about-two and onefourth miles north of Nash­ ville, was purchased in 1953 from the Nashville School District and used as a clubhouse for a variety of social activities. The late Dr. O.O. Matter was the founder of the Castleton Country Club. Shares in the club were sold to various individuals and the building and grounds were the scene of community gatherings, farm meetings, dances, picnics, and 4-H meetings. The club has been inactive in recent years and last year an effort was made to reorganize the club to dispose of the building before it was sold for taxes, ac­ cording to one of the original members. Present members of the club’s board of directors are Gerald Matter (son of the founder of the club), president; John Moore, vice president; Nadine Garlinger,' secretary; Ceylon Garlinger, treasurer; and John Matter (also a son of the founder), trustee.

He said in a committee vote a few weeks prior to the Three-Mile Island incident, he cast the only vote against approval of the nuclear power budget. Wolpe maintained the money used on nuclear research could be used to develop agriculturally-based energy sources, such as gas-ahol. Several farmers present at the meeting advocated research that could put grain crops into alcohol production for energy sources. “We must build com­ petition into the energy business," Wolpe concluded. He said the country is moving closer every day to a “class war” because of increased petroleum costs. On the issue of inflation, Wolpe emphasized that the “ “government government sets sets the example,” and they should take a second look at ex­ penditures and cut wastes. A weekly report from— Masons and member of the Vermontville Chamber of Commerce. The McGregors have three children: Robert of Lansing, Richard of Nashville, and Phyllis of Battle Creek. “We should live within our means,” Wolpe commented, but explained that priorities must be set on where the cuts will be made. He pointed out that a balanced budget would add to the national unemployment rate; and that for every 1 percent rise in unemployment,, the government loses $20 billion by reduced tax revenues and increased welfare costs. Audience members took a lively part in Saturday’s discussion. Answers to some of their questions await further research by Wolpe and his staff, but the congressman was able to shed light on several topics. He responded to subjects of generall interest and promised personal attention for individual problems. Among issues cited by the audience were: the need for lower rents for senior citizens; concern about increased railroad freight costs, and the current Teamster’s strike; a need for .secondary road im­ provements and a small scale mass-transit system (such as vans) for rural areas; cutting “red tape” on federally-funded municipal projects and simplifying grant requests by villages; concern about the possible termination of Federal Revenue Sharing funds; expediting small business loans; curbing acquisition of large parcels of land by foreign interests; equal rights on income tax rates; tightening of regulations on nuclear power plants; backing alternative-source energy research; improved import-export laws and tariffs on imported com­ modities; concern about aid to Panama; questions about an Eaton County official’s dual status as county commissioner and townshiptax assessor; and, on. a very local level, a proposal for door-to-door mail delivery in Nashville. Questionaires were also circulated among the audience for additional input and future contacts on various issues. Co-chairmen for Satur­ day’s event were Mrs. Dora Nisse of Vermontville and John Boughton of Nashville. State Representative Taxes Due—If you haven’t filed your state income tax form yet, this is the last week you have to prepare it. Both the state and federal income tax forms must be mailed by midnight Monday, April 16; some city income tax forms are due later. , J ' Heating Credits—April 16 is also the deadline for applying for home heating credits. As with prior programs, many senior citizens who qualify for this program have not ap­ applied. The Treasury Department or local Aging Agency can provide details. __ Job Help—The House will soon vote on HB 4137, a Republician-sponsored bill which would help workers who have been exposed to PBB to find other jobs by limiting the potential workers’ comp liability of their new employer for past disabilities. Tax Questions Questions.—The Court of Appeals has ruled that inin­ creased fuel taxes cannot be voted on but that increased weight taxes (license plate fees) can be voted on by the people. A petition drive had asked that both be voted on; the state had argued that neither one is subject to referendum since they are appropriations. Now the case goes to the Supreme Court. Extended Wa.rranty—Now in effect is a new law which requires that when consumers have guaranteed mer­ cchandise which needs repeated service work—a “lemon”they must receive and extended warranty on that product. Extensions occur either when the repair period exceeds 10 days or when it exceeds 10 percent of the warranty period, whichever is less. Choice Cuts—The Director of the Department of Licensing and Regulation has said that one fourth of his department could be abolished or consolidated by the legislature without harm to the public. This would remove unneeded regulation and save about $100,000 a year. Workers* Comp—The Court of Appeals has said that workers’ comp benefits must be reduced by 5 percent each year after the recipient passes age 65 Until benefits reach 50 percent of what was paid at age 65; also, that two thirds of the average weekly wage is the maximum that can be paid. List-Less—The House will soon vote on HB 4116, which would require that the Department of State and any private firm that buys vehicle registration lists must provide motorists with the opportunity to remove their names and addresses from such lists sold by the state. Beer Deregulation?—Governor Milliken has ordered an investigation into the possibility of deregulating “malt beverages” to lower prices and increase competition. This comes in the wake of charges that Michigan’s nonreturnable bottle ban has caused increased beer prices. Citizen Band RADIO REPAIR First class. FCC Licensed Dale Smith (Electron) 4700 N.

Fuel availablility has not been a problem for Florida motorists except near the end of March when monthly allocations were running out. However, Auto Club advises common sense measures of keeping fuel tanks nearly full while traveling this holiday. An Auto Club survey of states along the 1-75 route to Florida turned up no reports of fuel shortages although there will be the usual number of stations planning to close Easter Sunday.. Because this this year year’s’s traditional spring college breaks have been spread over two months, accommodations pressure is not as heavy as last year when Easter and spring school breaks coincided. Michigan’s universities have classes scheduled Easter week, and schools in the East won’t get another break until after the holiday.

Cruise package are very popular this year, with the whole Caribbean area heavily booked, Stanbury reported. It has been a boom year for Florida tourism as well, he noted, because of the airlines’ promotion of cruise packages and discount fares. Eastern and Delta have increased their passenger loads out of Detroit by between 8 arid 17 percent this year. Many of the Florida travelers are first-time airline passengers lured into the skies by the bargain airfares. They are com­ peting with veteran Florida vacationers for motel and hotel accommodations. All of the Disney World hotels were booked for Easter well in advance, but local tourist bureaus say there are still rooms available in the Orlando area withing a 20 mile drive of the Magic Kingdom. In Michigan, an Auto Club survey shows little change from last year in the number of service stations which will be closed Easter Sunday. Most travel in Michigan over Easter weekend will be within 50 miles of motorists’ homes, and peak travel time should be between 6 and 10 p.m. Easter Sunday when families are returning from holiday reunions with relatives and friends. Last year, 14 persons were killed on Michigan highways during the Easter weekend, compared to 13 the year before.

Easter-A Time for Families By Genevieve Millet Landau Director, Hasbro Center for Child Development and Education The celebrations of Easter and Passover, like those of Christmas and Hanukkah, are among the few remaining traditions in our society which has so largely abandoned rituals and symbols. So it is more important than ever that this Season be made a family time, a time when parents and children do things to­ gether a time to share in a variety of ways — the joys and the deeper meanings — of the season. Springtime is the true begin­ ning of the year. Nature is reborn in the spring. For children especially, the lengthening days, the warming spring sunshine, heralds a welcome new world of active out­ door play. Youngsters can get out of the house to do all the active things they have been missing while winter weather limited their activi­ ties, and often kept them indoors. Bicycles, tricycles, wagons, roller skates come out of storage sheds, basements and garages. New games are learned. New territories explored. Some, of these new interests can be beneficially — and painlessly — channeled into programs of regular physical activity. In fact, this is a good time for the whole family to join in a fitness program. Grownups can get into shape by brisk walking and hiking, jogging, playing tennis, exercising. Youngsters seeing their parents shaping' up for spring and summer will be encouraged to follow suit, doing things geared to their own ages and interests. According to the President’s Council on Physical Fit­ ness and Sports, children should get at least one hour of vigorous physi­ cal activity every day. And research shows that children who see their parents exercising are more likely to want to be physically fit themselves. Now is the time to start. Most of the outdoor games that kids like increase their coordination and strengthen their muscles without 'making a pressured, organized thing of it. Easter marks more, of course, than the beginning of a new season of sports and outdoor play. The re­ ligious celebrations of Easter and Passover symbolize and reaffirm the values of community life and growth. This is why we give pres­ ents, dress in new and cheerful clothing, prepare festive meals to share with friends and family. Of equal importance are the tasks and responsibilities we share with our children at this time. For children learn their parents’ values by doing, as well as by watching. By doing such simple chores as helping to rake the lawn, planting seeds, taking part in traditional spring cleaning chores, children develop a sense of responsibility and obligation towards property and the natural world. Taking part in such tasks not only teaches values but it’s great fun if everyone pitches in. There are also lots of lovely, special things for parents and chil­ dren to share during the Easter sea­ son. Simple things such as dyeing eggs, searching for new leaves and flowers, spying bird nests all take on new meaning when parents and children do them together. To young children, Easter means presents, new clothes, choco­ late bunnies, Easter eggs and bas­ kets. But the season can be given its deepest meaning by teaching our children and reminding ourselves of the joys Of helping others. You might Wish, for example, to have a collection party so your children and perhaps some of the neighbors’ kids can donate to others, toys or clothing which are no longer needed. Clothes can be gathered and given to agencies which refurbish and distribute them to families who are less fortunate; toys and other possessions can be freshened up and repaired for other youngsters to en­ joy. The Easter season is a time for new beginnings—in physical and emotional fitness and, above all, in caring and sharing.

The Robert Todd’s were in Ohio over the weekend visiting friends. Thought the Townhall meeting at Nashville was great and the turn out good. Not only did Congressman Wolpe inform us, but gave time for our input- and ex­ change of ideas. Guess that’s what Townhall is all about. Need more of this on the local levels with local problems.

Meeting planned to explain parents’ role in sex education With sex education now being implemented in many public schools and through various church programs, parents begin wondering where and how they fit into the picture. The parents role is a difficult one...often uncomfortable, frequenlty confusing, sometimes embarrasing, but never one to be ignored. Dr. Sol Gordon is a noted writer, lecturer and educator, is a professor of Child and Family Studies at Syracuse University in New York. Dr. Gordon feels that “...sex education is not merely providing in­ formation; is is also con­ veying values, standards and attitudes...There is no way a parent can avoid being the principal sex educator of his or her child - whether the parent is open and candid pbout sex, or says nothing at all.” Dr. Gordon’s program will offer insight into parents’ feelings, concerns and un- Maple Valley School LUNCH MENU April 9 Hamburgers, French Fries, Cheese Slice, Com, Pears, Cake, Milk.

The day-long sessions, sponsored by the State Task Force on Consumer Cooperatives, will be held in Detroit, Grand Rapids, Gaylord and Escanaba. “I am excited about a statewide cooperative program to help consumers receive low-cost, highquality service,” Nash said. “There are already some 200 co-ops currently providing food distribution, housing, “• ttj !S JJ^Cta WCt and child care in Michigan, but the new Co-op Bank will be a source of loans for the expansion of existing co-ops and financing for new cooperative ventures.” Nash said co-ops stress reliance on self-help and the ability to provide goods and services at low costs. He added that there are many varied types of co-ops in Michigan, but nearly all are non-profit organizations which are owned and con­ trolled by their members. Nash also believes that cooperatives could play a major role in the restoration of of low-income neigh­ borhoods in Michigan. “Everyone knows that our cities must survive if we are to have a high standard of living statewide,” Nash said. “This program could EATON COUNTY FARM AND HOME CALENDAR APRIL "uCj* "uC **• Mt § § GL w®B8«U hn ttnuitij' ■IBIB If?K f Wj«*n *'!» ■visa Wl®l® mmSSJI ®®iKibb i0ffc^Ww^j ,?v*W Wednesday, April 11—7:30 p.m. 4-H Teen Service Club irieeting, Kardel Hall, Charlotte Fairgrounds.

Each of the four forums will begin at 9 a.m. and adjourn at 5 p.m. They will be held in Detroit’s St. Paul’s Episcopal Church May 1; Escanaba’s Bonafis Civic Center May 11; Gaylord’s Chalet Restaurant May 8; and Grand Rapids Ottawa Hills High School May 19. “I urge anyone interested at all in the future of con­ sumer cooperatives in Michigan to attend one of these forums,” Nash said. “The more public support we can generate for the cooperatives, the better off we’ll all be.” Tour the New Detroit By Margaret Ann Ross, Extension Home Economist The Etaon County Ex­ tension Service and Eaton Extension Homemakers are sponsoring a commercial bus tour to the New Detroit on Thursday, May 3rd. The group will leave Kardel Hall at the Charlotte Fairgrounds at 7:00 a.m. with a scheduled pick up at Eaton Rapids. The tour will highlight historical aspects of Michigan’s largest city, the Grosse Pointe homes and the renovation areas in the oldest part of the city. Participants will also see beautiful Belle Isle with its aquarium and conservatory. They’ll tour Greektown, visit the new Renaissance Center, and hear about many other outstanding features of Detroit such as Cobo Hall, the Joe Louis Arena and Mariner’s Church. Tour chairman is Sue Schulze and Reservation chairman is Hulda Sterizick. Reservations are due April 18 to Mrs. Sterzick.

Heavy industrial areas are balanced by tracts of ancient wilderness; greeen pastures contradict barren sand dunes; and yesterday melds dramatically with today and tomorrow. Travelers soon learn to expect the contrasts. Nevertheless, they are usually somewhat astonished by their first journey into the Copper Country of Michigan’s Upper Peninsula. They are en­ veloped by an aura of another time. At practically every turn in the road and crest of a hill, the traveler encounters a sensational view that cannot be hurried past. The four counties that form the region (Ontonago, Baraga, Houghton and Keweenaw) encompass grand forests populated by deer, bear and various other species of wildlife. There are historic landmarks, pic­ turesque waterfalls, hundreds of inland lakes and thousands of miles of streams bordered by the unpredictable waters of Lake Superior.

The base of the “Porkies” is formed by rocks con­ sidered to be among the oldest in the world with a geologic age of more than one billion years. The most scenic route to the Copper Country is from Michigan’s lower Peninsula, across the majestic Mackinac Bridge, then west across the upper peninsula via US - 2 or M-28 to M-64 in the western end of the U.P. M-64 winds north to White Pine, a resurrected copper mining town built in 1952. The colorful history of the White Pine Mine, however, extends over more than a century. The Nonsuch Shale, which contains the White Pine orebody, was officially discovered in 1864 by Frank Cadotte. Mr. Cadotte later sold his interests for a barrel of pork, a barrel of flour and some other grocery items. Porcupine Mountains State Park, northwest of White Pine, is composed of 58,000 acres of primitive forests, secluded lakes and miracles of nature. In the summer the park attracts campers, hikers, nature lovers and those simply seeking a quiet retreat. In winter, it becomes one of the State’s most popular skiing meccas and winter playgrounds. Roughly 15 miles north of the park is historic On­ tonagon. Here, in the 1700’s, French missionaries reported the existence of a 3,000 pound boulder of pure native copper. The On­ tonagon “nugget”, as it is called, is now displayed in the Smithsonian Institue in Washington D.C. South of Ontonagon is the ghost town of Victoria. A relic of the copper boom, Victoria is now being claimed by the surrounding forest, but the spirits of bonanza days cling like early morning mist to the crumbling buildings. The Michigan Mine, another ghost of the copper era, is also in this area. Originally the Minesota Mine, — spelled with one “n” — was reorganized and its name changed in 1872.

It weighed 527 tons and required the labor of 20 men, using long handled chisels, 15 months to separate it from its position. The old Adventure Mine at Greenland in Ontonagon County, offers true ad­ venture to today’s Copper Country traveler. Visitors can follow the long, devious paths of the adit and explore caves and caverns left by the early day miners. Deposits of the reddish-brown ore are visible, here and there, along the walls and ceilings of the mine’s cavities. Geologists say the Adventure’s veins still contain more copper than was ever removed. North, at Houghton, is Michigan Technological University, one of the out­ standing engineering universities in the country. The annual Michigan Tech Winter Carnival is a unique event that attracts visitors from all parts of the nation. Here too, the Portage Lake Bridge connects Houghton with the Keweenaw penin­ sula across the Portage Canal. This structure is the largest of its kind in America with a vertical lift center span that raises the roadway to a height of 100 feet to allow Great Lakes ore carriers to pass beneath. Across the bridge, at Hancock, is Suomi College founded in 1896. It is the only college level education in­ stitution founded by Finns outside their European homeland. Just east of hancock, at Ripley, Copper Country travelers can tour the Arcadian Mine, get a first hand look at the tools and methods employed to extract the red metal during the 19th century boom days. Further north is the centenarian Calumet and Hecla mine, whose shafts burrowed more than a mile into the earth. Once the monarch of the area, the shaft houses now stand silent and rusting. And the village of Calumet, once thriving and sophisticated, urban Nashville cub scouts plan breakfast The Nashville Cub Scouts are having a Parent-Son Breakfast, April 21 at the V.F.W. Hall.

Past Calumet, town makers identify Ahmeek, Mohawk, Helltown and Cliff, mute and aging witnesses to a flourishing, bustling time past. Still further north, the traveler has a choice of scenic routes around the Keweenaw Peninsula. One follows the twisting, rocky shoreline and the other­ Brockway Mountain Drive­ runs along the sheer cliff edge of the Keweenaw Fault, rising some 740 feet above the waters of Lake Superior. The highways terminate at Fort Wilkins State Park. The Fort has been restored to apeear as it did when it was built and garrisoned in 1844. The heritage of the “Cousin Jacks” (the early miners from Cornwall, England) and the rugged Finns contributes geatly to the individuality of the region. Add remnants of the nation’s early history, the color of a booming mining era, a profusion of ancinet pines, white birches and wild thimbleberries and you have Michigan’s Copper Country, a perfect place to discover an unforgettable vacation.

(At right) Connie Keehne (left) receives her award as a new director from R.D. Hagen, senior director. March 17, 1979 will be forever etched in the mind of Connie Keehne of Nashville. That is the day Connie became director of her Mary Kay Beauty Consultant unit. ‘Service You Can Count On’ The unit, named “Connie’s Butterflies’\ met at the Middle Villa Inn in Mid­ dleville to attend a workshop and see Connie receive her award and become director. Directors from all over southern Michigan, Virginia, and Indiana came to talk and help out at the debut and workshop. The workshop consisted of different groups talking about motivation, attitude, 329 W.

Mary Kay Ash started her company on the policy of the “Golden Rule”. She also built her company with her beauty consultants reaping the highest benefits possible. Promotion must be ear­ ned. They cannot be bought. The ultimate promotion is directorship. A director must have at least twentytwo qualified or active consultants to become a unit, thus a director. When Connie Keehne received her directorship the senior director, R. D. Hagen from Virginia, presented it to her. She likened the unit debut to “a birth”. She went on to say, “Debut is an ac­ cumulation of months of endeavors.” Other directors present were Linda Whitesell and her husband, Tom from Marshall, Wendy Willoughby and her husband, George from Diamondale, Dee Barrows of Grand Rapids, Judy Kawiecki of Midland, and Gwen Sherman from Elkhart, Indiana. All helped in the presentation of the award and formal in­ troduction of their unit. Each gave a word or two about what the company meant to them. Most believe that,“It’s must the begin­ ning.” Each woman grows with the company at her own pace. It’s not only personal growth but spiritual growth as well. As Mary Kay says, “God comes first, family second, career last.” At the formal dinner that night several beauty con­ sultants were awarded tote bags, money totes, pins, rings, and ribbons for their work as consultants and recruiters. Connie was also presented with a gift from her unit. It consisted of planters, pic­ tures, and butterflies for her wall decor. As director, Connie Keehne, will be recognized at the annual seminar in Dallas, Texas in April. This is also a workshop but consists of 8,000 women gathering for motivation and I recognition for their efforts throughout the year. It’s “an accumulation of months of endeavors.” Take Advantage of..> Pre-Season Planning ORDER YOUR R SEED • FERTILIZER • CHEMICALS Bulk Fertilizer Spreaders Available FERTILIZER! 12-12-12 6-24-24 8-32-16 14-14-14 POTASH...0-0-60 Notice Maple Valley men’s slow pitch soft ball.

Thursday's show played to a full house at Fuller Street School in the Maple Valley School System and was precede’d by a similar program at Kellogg School. The lesson was part of an overall effort on Smith’s part to acquaint kinder­ garten through sixth grade students with the hazards faced when bicycling. Also included with the bike safety presentation are some precautions to be taken when approached by strangers.

(Maple Valley News photos) �Th* Maple Volley Newi, Nashville. Wednesday. April 18. 1979 — Page 2 Nashville News By coincidence, several Nashville folks happened to be in Chicago April 5th, the day fierce snow squalls blew across our section of the country. Mrs. Clara Pennock and Mrs. Edna Edwards had gone down to the city for the day, on a shopping excursion sponsored for the benefit of the Shriners’ Crippled Children’s Hospital. They were part of a group of thirty women and children who left Battle Creek at 8 a.m. to spend the day at Wood Field Mall in Chicago. The shoppersfrom Hastings, Nashville, Grand Rapids and Battle Creekenjoyed browsing and buying in a variety of shops and lunched at Marshall Field Seven Arches Restaurant there. By the time the group was prepared to leave for home, the storm was underway. The tour bus swayed in ferocious wind gusts but arrived safely in Battle Creek at 9 p.m. with no serious consequences. Clara and Edna then faced the eerie task of driving back to Nashville, but made it home without mishap. Delayed by Thursday’s storm was Kathy Kelley, daughter of the Max Kelleys of Kelley’s Variety Store in Nashville. She had been in Chicago on business and was in a downtown Chicago tower when the storm struck in the early afternoon. Kathy could bear the tall building creaking in steady blasts of wind. Leaving the city by Amtrack, she was delayed enroute when the train encountered power lines downed by heavy squalls. The train was held up over an hour while the tracks were cleared, and it swayed in the fierce wind gusts while at a standstill, Kathy reports. Some local folks were in the “windy city” for the duration of the storm. They were Mrs. Elaine Powers, her daughter Maryellen, and Mrs. Lillian Maurer. THe trio had been staying in Chicago, enjoying a three-day shopping vacation while Maryellen was on spring holiday from school, and were downtown in the Sears Tower when the storm began. All night Thursday their motel on Lakeshore Drive was buffeted by winds whipping off Lake Michigan, with gusts reported up to 90 miles per hour. Elaine stayed awake the entire night. The storm had subsided somewhat by the time they were ready to leave for home the next day and, enroute by Amtrack, they noticed a great deal of debris lying on the ground. Taking in the sights during a recent three-day stay at Dearborn were Dave and Rosalie Murphy, and their daughter Cinda, of Nashville. Highlights of the trip included a day-long excursion through Greenfield Village, with plenty of time to chat with craftsmen and guides in the various historical buildings located there. Another day was spent in touring the Henry Ford Museum. The Murphys also enjoyed a visit to the Dearborn neighborhood where Dave had lived several years of his childhood during World War II. Enroute home, the Murphys stopped at Michigan State University in East Lansing to visit the rest of the family: son Les, a sophomore; and son and daughter-in-law, Jeff and Rae Murphy, and their baby daughter, Katherine. Jeff and Rae live on campus at MSU where he is currently in his senior year. .

Reportedly, a Barry County Sheriffs Dept, dispatcher mis-interrpreted a report of a tornado sighted in “Berrien County” as “Barry County” and broadcast the emergency message. Neither a watch or warning were ever issued that night for Barry County, although a severe thunderstorm warning did go into effect a few hours later. The Nashville Village Council decided Thursday not to participate in Michigan’s annual “Mayor Exchange” day, which would have paired our village with Diamondale for a May 21st “swap” of village officials. High costs, plus the small benefit for the large amount of energy expended on the project, influenced local officials to turn thumbs down on the proposed exchange. Protocol in the past has called for hosting two meals, usually a luncheon and dinner, for visiting dignitaries. Local officials generally agreed the event was more of a social affair than an opportunity for learning, as was originally intended when the event was instituted as the traditional “kick-off’ for the state’s annual “Michigan Week” celebration. Leon Firth, head of Nashville’s DPW, was at Gull Lake last week for a two-day seminar on waste water treatment He attended classes in preparation for writing his state exam in May to earn a Waste Water Plant Operator’s cer­ tificate. Bill and Eva Hamptom of rural Nashville returned last week from a ten-day trip to Florida where they enjoyed temperatures reaching 100 degrees while visiting Bill’s brother, the Norman Hamptons, residents of Grand Ledge who have been wintering at Silver Springs. The Hamptons enjoyed a trip to Disney World at Orlando and on the 'way back to Michigan, spent a weekend touring Nashville, Tenn. A bus excursion of the city and a visit to Opryland highlighted their two-day stay there. Bill and Eva arrived home amid our recent weekend ice storm, which was quite a jolt after the warm sunshine in the southland. The Women’s Literary Club will meet Wednesday evening, April 18th, at the home of Mrs. Elizabeth Lynch, which represents a change from previous plans for the month. The annual meeting of the organization has also been rescheduled for tomorrow’s meeting, after being postponed earlier this winter. A “silent auction” of homemade crafts and baked goods will be staged Wednesday evening as a fund raiser for the club. Members are asked to bring items, not to exceed $3. in value, for display on a large table. Members and guests may then submit written bids on each item, with all “goodies” going to the highest bidders. Tea committee for the 7:30 p.m. event is Mrs. Olith Hamilton and Mrs. Marge Wolff. _^Don’t forget the 50-50 cash drawing, April 27th, sponsored by the newly-reorganized Nashville Jaycess as a fund­ raising project. Tickets are available from any member or at the Mirror’s Image for a $1 donation each. The winner will split the jackpot, with the other half used for community service projects by the Jaycees. Golfing on the famous Tanglewood course at Winston Salem, North Carolina, was a highlight of a recent trip by Mr. and Mrs. Ted (Clara) Spoelstra, daughter Cara; and Mr. and Mrs. Richard (Sandy) Kohfeldt, and daughter Shelley. The journey south, via motor home, took them to Clemens, a suburb of Winston Salem, for a visit with Richard’s parents, the Robert Kohfeldts. After several days of sightseeing, golfing, and shopping, the vacationers headed for home by way of Gatlinburg, Tenn. There, they spent a day touring the town, visiting a wax museum, and taking a tram excursion up the mountain to view the Smokeys from a space needle. Good weather was enjoyed throughout the week-long trip, with temperatures near 80 in the south. Volunteers Raymond Ashcraft and Allan Meehan, as part of a “Friends of the Library” project, will help Putnam Public Library personnel move reserve reference copies of National Georgraphics from a storage area on the second floor to the Periodicals Room in the basement of the library. THe move is underway this week. Jane Shoup, library historian and staff member, concon­ ducted a second tour of the library last Monday evening, for the April 9th meeting of the “Friends of the Library”. During the business meeting, members of the newly-formed organization discussed upcoming projects Jo benefit and promote the local library. A nice, reminiscing letter from Kenneth A. Meade, a Nashville native now of Franklin, shed some light on our recent “Memories” story of Nashville’s early street-paving projects. The story recounted a mid-1870’s Saturday afternoon brawl instigated by the “street paving gang” with the chief culprit being the man in charge of “stone-laying.” Since Nashville’s Main Street was not paved until 1917, arid then only with brick, we were uncertain what the “paving” represented. Meade’s letter explains; stones were layed to form paving along each side of the street where the horses stood when tied to hitching posts along the sidewalks up and down Main Street. “It was quite a sight to see all the horses and wagons or buggies, and sometimes surreys, parked along Main Street on a busy Saturday.” The center of the street was not paved at that time, and Meade recalls a sprinkler wagon that went up and down the street “laying the dust.” Meade also remembers the first paving of Main Street, which included installation of solid concrete lamp posts (in the center of the street) at every intersection “I hitt one once iin a rainstorm with my Dad’s Model-T Ford and later did most of the work fixing the front end (of the auto) at Joe Hurd’s garage,” writes Meade. (Hurd’s Garage was the subject of an earlier “Memories” feature.) Thanks to Mr Meade for taking time to share his memories of the past with others. • Nationally-known gospel singer Billy Spear will perform By Susan Hinckley at the 7 p.m. worship service at the Nashville Baptist Church, Sunday, April 22nd. The Education Committee of the United Methodist Church is set for 7 p.m. Wednesday, April 18th, to be followed by a 7:30 p.m. meeting of the Board of Trustees. Both will be held at the church. The Builders Class of the United Methodist Church will meet Wednesday, April 25th, at 8:00 p.m. The event, to be held at the Community House, will be hosted by Richard and Feme Green; and Karl Pufpaff will be in charge of the program for the evening. The Nashville Nutrition Site Senior Citizens will meet for a special evening potluck dinner at the Masonic Temple at 6 v p.m. Thursday, April 19th. Entertainment for the event will be furnished by square dancers from the Bud’s Duds group, under the direction of Bud Gillaspie of Vermontville. A noon potluck dinner at the V.F.W. Hall is scheduled for the Nashville Senior Citizens club, Wednesday, April 18th. Musical entertainment will be supplied by students from the high school. Enjoying a family get-together and dinner at the Spa Steakhouse in Battle Creek last week Monday were: Mr. and Mrs. Carroll Lamie; Mr and Mrs. Dewey Jones; and Mr. and Mrs. Dennis Lamie and children of Nashville; Mr. and Mrs. Robert Jones of Battle Creek; and T-Sgt and Mrs. Roger Lamie and children, recently of Ft. Belvoir, Virginia. The event honored the visit of the Roger Lamies to Michigan to visit friends and relatives. U.S. Air Force T-Sgt. Roger Lamie, a Nashville native and NHS graduate, was in town last week to visit his parents, Carroll and Joyce Lamie; his grandmother, Mrs. Caroline Jones; and his brother and family, the Dennis Lamies. Roger, who has been stationed at Ft. Belvoir, Virginia, was accompanied by his wife, Margaret, and children, Kim and Bobby. The Lamie family was enroute to Colorado Springs where Roger has accepted a new assignment at Peterson Air Force Base. The late Sterling Dellar, featured, in this week’s “Memories” photo and also in the recent 1910 NHS football team story, is fondly remembered by former Nashville native Wayne Fuller, now of Toledo. Seems that Sterling once worked for Fuller’s father on their farm south of town, and even though Wayne was considerably younger lie remembers him well. “Sterling bought me my first pair of overalls when I was quite small,” writes Fuller. He also recalls that STerling was an avid baseball player, in the role of catcher. “A catcher’s mitt in those days was much larger than the one they use now?’ he adds. Sterling, who was a brother-in-law to Melissa (DeBolt) Showatler of Nashville, later lived in Jackson and worked for Michigan Central Railroad. In his recent letter, Fuller also recalls the late Bill Irland (whome some knew as Ray Irland), also a member of the 1910 football team.Irland, whose father Bill ran a local pool hall and short-order restaurant, eventually married LaDore Henderson, a teacher at Nashville High School who went on to teach at Michigan State College. Fuller, who is a distant relative to her by marriage, is unsure whether LaDore is still living. Thanks to Mr. Fuller for sharing his memories. We were very sorry to hear of the death last Wednesday of Mrs. Charles (Cecile) Betts, a Nashville native and lifelong resident.

Mrs. Doug (Marabelle) Yarger underwent thyroid surgery last Monday at Pennock Hospital. She is recovering very well and, at the time of the report, expected to return home by the end of last week. The Nashville Ambulance Dept, responded to four calls in four consecutive days recently, Saturday through Tuesday. On April 7th, the ambulance was summoned north of town to CoviUe Road to transport a gentleman who was having a seizure to Pennock Hospital. The man was reportedly later transferred to a Kalamazoo hospital for surgery. Sunday, the Nashville ambulance responded to a call at Mead-O-Acres trailer park where Zillah Dahms was suf­ fering an attack following an incident in which a frying pan on her stove caught fire, and she had successfully ex­ tinguished the flames. She was transported to Pennock Hospital for treatment. Monday, the ambulance transported Lawrence Johnson of Gregg Street to Pennock Hospital after he had reportedly become weakened from effects of the flu. And early Tuesday morning, the Nashville ambulance crew was summoned south of town to transport Mrs. Carl (Dolly) Hulsebos to Leila Hospital in Battle Creek. She was apparently suffering symptoms of a stroke, which she had also had in the past, and is currently still hospitalized at this writing. The Nashville police cruiser is currently sporting a bumper sticker which warns motorist, “Drive CarefullyDon’t Feed the Bears.” A variety of cases were handled by the Nashville Police Department in March. A total of 51 complaints were an­ swered, several of the assistance, or service-rendered, type. The local officers responded to two breaking and entering calls; three larcenies from buildings; investigated two suspicious person;s handled one dog bite case; and two sex cases; had three malicious destruction of property com­ plaints; and one furnishing intoxicants to a minor, case. The officers issued one moving violation ticket in March; had six repair and return tickets; and issued ten parking violatibns. Assistance to other departments also kept the Nashville police busy last month. Local officers handled five auto accidents, and rendered help to both Barry and Eaton County Sheriff’s Departments. The complaints in which the Nashville officers aided included a man with a gun; a suspicious vehicle report; and a high speed chase. They also served one subpeona; and rendered assistance to the Nash­ ville Fire Department in March. A total of 2,245 miles were driven by the Nashville Police Department during March, with 275 gallons of gas used. Of that amount, 246 gallons were logged for the Chevy Nova and 29 gallons for the Ford secondary ujit. The Nashville Village Council is currently seeking to dispose of the Ford, advertising for sealed bidsand having the auto on display at village hall. approves new reading series related materials will be used in grades K-6 with additional textbooks and materials being used in some classes in grades seventh and eighth. During this school year and part of the last school year a committee of teachers and ad­ ministrators have been reviewing the reading program and evaluating reading materials. This federal grant provided the school district $8,700 in funds to cover cost of the study and materials. The total cost of the new textbooks and related materials is ap­ proximately 111,000. Mrs. Hildred Peabody presented a report to the board of education regarding enrollments in the various special education programs. She stated that it has been necessary to request a deviation approval from the State Department of Education considering that the enrollment in some classes now exceeds the state guidelines. Because of this increase in enrollment and the number of students expected in these special programs for the 1979-80 school year, she recommended to the board members that an additional teacher (Learning Con­ sultant) be employed for next school year which was approved by the board members. This will enable the school district to have a full time L.D. Consultant at the elementary level and one at the secondary level. The board members ac­ cepted a letter of resignation effective at the end of the current school year from L.D. Consultant, Kristi Holmquist. She has stated that she will be moving to the Minneapolis area. The board members ap­ proved establishing a fund with the high school student council which would operate in relationship to promoting a preventive vandalism program. An example of this would be to place a certain amount of money in the fund which will be set at $1,000 next school year and any vandalism costs for the school year would be deducted from this fund. The possible balance in this fund could be used by the student council for student related projects or programs. The board members approved implementation of this program for the 1979-80 school year along with ap­ proval of a program for the balance of this school year with the amount involved this school year being $200. The board members voted to have Arlene DeCamp and Elam Rockwell present the diplomas at the graduation activities scheduled to be held at Sandyland Park on Saturday, June 2. Nominating petitions have been filed by incumbent Wilbur Marsh, Stanley Smith, Carol Tobias, Eunice Cornish, Virginia Fox, and George Hubka for the two positions that will be open on the board of education July 1. Board member Arlene DeCamp isn’t a candidate for re-election to the board of education. The annual school election will be held on Monday, June 11. General fund bills in the amount of $33,834.73 were approved for payment. The March 23 payroll in the amount of $82,532.27 and the ■ March 30 payroll in the amount Of $77,772.19 were approved for payment and transfer to the payroll ac­ count. Approval was given the payment of the May 1st debt retirement principal, interest, and handling charges in the amount of $59,973.03. The board members ac­ cepted the bid from Darlene’s Studio of Dance and Acrobatics in the amount of $200 for the smaller trampoline. No action was taken relative to the bids submitted on the larger trampoline. Approval was given the purchase of school furniture in the amount of $2,978.55. This will include three folding mobile tables with benches attaced for hot lunch, fifty stacking chairs, three tables, three teacher’s chairs, five files, two carpet savers, one teacher’s desk, and seventy five chairs for usage at the elementary level. A general discussion was held regarding possible revision in the student at­ tendance policy. This matter was tabled and referred back to the discipline policy committee and ad­ ministrators at the Jr.-Sr. High School. Mrs. Sandra Wright was present at the meeting and expressed her concern and desire to have her son let off the vocational bus in Charlotte enabling him to go to work earlier instead of having to ride the bus back to the Maple Valley Jr.-Sr. High School. She stated that the employer would be responsible for her son as far as transportation. General concensus of the board members was to remain with the present policy which requires the students to ride the bus to and from vocational classes unless permission is given to ride with a parent or parent of a participant This policy will be reviewed prior to the opening of the 1979-80 school year. The board members ap­ proved a resolution allowing the bus supervisor the right to deny transportation privileges to students who misuse bus rules. Such ac­ tion will be for londer periods of suspension from the bus which in the past has been only for a few days. Approval was given the installation of telephones in the locker rooms at the Jr.Sr. High School enabling students a better opportunity to call parents when they return from away athletic events. The board of education members instructed the administrators that the washer and dryer must be installed in the laundry room within one week and the head custodian is to be informed of such action: Failure to complete this work which has been delayed for a period of time will result in a fur­ ther disciplinary action regarding the custodial personnel involved. 1952 FORD FIRETRUCK CHASSIS FOR SALE Fire fighting equipment removed, engine inoperable.

Five cent admission will be charged, “advised the News. It was spring in Nashville. The year was 1906; the second week of May. By the end of that month, the Nashville team would be pitted against out-of-town competition. “A baseball game between Woodland’s fast team and the local team has been arranged for Decoration Day, of Nashville’s new grounds,” revealed a later May issue of the newspaper. The “new grounds” was a ball park built on the banks of the Thornapple River, southwest of the Main Street busriess district. Throughout the summer of 1906, the village team ap­ parently out-slugged their competition. “Nashville’s sensational baseball team played the famed Petoskey team Saturday and beat them 2­ 0,” reported an early-August issue of the News. “Is there a team anywhere that can beat Nashville?” queried the reporter. Baseball was the major sport in Nashville for many years, recalls Dick Mason, who remembers stores passed on by his father, the late “Ab” Mason, a steady player on early village teams. It was not uncommon to see 300 to 400 spectators present at local baseball games, played mostly on Sunday afternoons. In some cases, such scheduling brought disfavor to team members. “Baseball players were considered kind of outlaws because they played on Sunday,” recalls Dick. He remembers his father telling about one local minister who chided the team, seated in a back pew at Sunday morning service, with the comment: “I see some of the eleventhhour boys are here today.” But Sundays were not the only baseball days in Nash­ ville’s early years.

And, occasionally, an unusual competition was staged: “Friday afternoon there will be a baseball game between the married men and the single men of the village,” noted an earlySeptember 1906 News report. Each spring, a baseball association was formed by interested men in the village. “Let everybody who is interested in the great national game be present and help start the ball rolling toward a cracker-jack team here this summer,” urged the News in a 1907 an­ nouncement. Officers were elected at the annual meetings, usually held in early April, and plans were made for the coming season. Competition was lined up. “Arrangements are un­ derway for the organization of a league, including teams from41astings, Freeport, Caledonia, Middleville, Alto, and possibly a couple more towns,” reported the News in April April 1908. Harold (“Fuzzy”) Woodard, a member of Nashville’s 1925 cham­ pionship high school baseball team who later played for, and once managed, the in­ dependent local team, remembers traveling to games at places like Fine Lake and Morrison Lake. He also recalls playing on a ball field at Thomapple Lake.

Groups of 50 to 70 persons would often travel with potluck dinners to lakes near their scheduled com­ petition to enjoy a com­ munity outing before the game. “Vermontville also had a good team at that time,” reports Fuzzy. He remembers a special rivalry between the two villages then, but Dick Mason recalls that in earlier years Nash­ ville’s greatest rival was considered to be Hastings. Both men recall Bill and Archie Martin as top-notch players of their era, and both remember black ball teams coming from the Battle Creek and Albion area to play the local team-creating something of a novelty in those days. Attendance at most Nash­ ville games was so tremendous that parking places were at a premium when folks began driving autos to the athletic field on the Thornapple in the 1920’s and 30’s. “With the coming of warmer weather the baseball fever begins to crop out...“another early-April call to organize heralds the 1908 season.

Chamber President Charles Andrus, Jr., after polling several members present, said he would ask village officials to earmark some Federal Revenue Sharing Funds, to be received this year, for paving the parking area west of the Main Street stores. A portion of last year’s RVS monies is still being held in reserve by the village, earmarked for the paving project, and Andrus felt that if this year’s funds could be added to last year’s reserve, the village would be assured of having enough money on hand to complete the paving job when bids are let.

Forty “Nashville Bucks” are redeemable for ten gallons of free gasoline at either Powers Shell or the Fargo Service Station in Nashville. “Why drive out of town to shop?” asked Max Kelley. He suggested merchants back the promotion by reminding customers to “buy locally, and we (the merchants) will buy your gas.” Promotion for the Christmas season were also considered Wednesday. A special committee was named to arrange a 1979 Christmas parade, the ap­ pearance of Santa and the placement of “Santa’s house” in Central Park. Andrus, who heads the committee, said he hoped the Christmas event would help “kick off a Christmas shopping spree” at local stores. The merchants also discussed plans to begin an immediate campaign to raise community donations to buy at least one new Main Street light pole Christmas decoration this year. One was purchased last year with proceeds raised by the raffle of two donated bicycles. Canisters will start the street decorating-fund this year and, at the June meeting, the Chamber will analyze the results to see if additional assistance is needed. Ahmo Jordan, head of the Tourist and Resort Com-mittee, reported' on merchant advertising space available in the the West West Michigan Tourist Association publication. “This is everbody’s town; we should all participate in promoting it,” Jordan told the membership. He said the ads were well worth the cost to get people to recognize Nashville. “We may be on the map, but we still must let people know where we are,” he added. Jordan also exhis pressed his personal gratitude to David Mace, new owner of Simon Phar­ macy, for retaining Nash­ ville’s Main Street drug store. Mace, who with his wife Kathy, was present for the meeting, said he plans to move to Nashville from Caledonia in the near future. Other topics of interest ensued in a general ex­ change of ideas between Chamber members. Means to increase at­ tendance at meeting was discussed and it was agreed each member would en­ courage another to be present for the May dinner. Investigating development of a small industrial-park area in Nashaville was suggested. “If we can get some paychecks cashed in this town, we’ll get some dollars spent here,” said Jordan, who stressed the need for light industry. Vermontville Girl Scout news Andrus reported “feedback” received on his proposed renovation and renewal of Nashville’s Main Street business district. The concept, presented last month in an artist’s sketch done by Andrus, brought varied comments after the drawing was published in a Maple Valley News report. Andrus said 90 percent of the comment was favorable to his plan which would provide a plaza with a covered walk, set back from the present stores on the west side of Main Street, and greatly expand parking area. Dancing is fun! And fun is what 17 Brownies from Vermontville had April 9, when they attended a Brownie Dance Workshop in Eaton Rapids. All Area No. 7 Brownies were invited, and a total of 78 were there. Larry and Kay Clark, dance in­ structors from Eaton Rapids, were the hosts and seemed to enjoy teaching as much as the girls did lear­ ning. Even the leaders and mothers who helped drive there got into the swing of things learning many new dances and some new games.

The com­ mittee, comprised of local citizens and some village trustees, reported to the village council Thursday evening on an organizational meeting with Bruce Kuffer of Williams and Works of Grand Rapids, engineers for the $3,396,105. project. Lonny Kienutske, head of the newly-formed com­ mittee, suggested ways to convey the message to the public. Plans include press releases; establishing an information board; a poster campaign; slide and talk presentations to community groups; direct mailing of fact sheets; and, possibly, public information radio sports. A tenative timetable for the project was also presented by Kuffer at Thursday’s council meeting. “This timetable is nothing cast in concrete,” Kuffer told village officials, “but it looks like a realistic schedule right now.” State and federal grants to cover at least 80 percent of the project are expected. The council also discussed land options and property easements pertaining to the system, and agreed to have Williams and Works prepare the final FmHA application for the project In other business, the council decided to earmark over $19,000 of this year’s Federal Revenue Sharing funds toward improving and paving a downtown parking lot Approximately $23,000 of last year’s RVS allotment is still in reserve for the project Earlier, the council had considered using some of the RVS monies for im­ provement of village streets-namely Sherman, Cleveland, and Middle. “We have to look out for the businessmen, but we also have an obligation to the residents of this village (to maintain the streets).” commented Trustee Ted Spoelstra. He said more people drive the street than would use the parking lot, but at the urging of Charles Andrus, on behalf of the Nashville Chamber of Commerce, and Lonny Kienutske, representing the Nashville Business Owners Association, Gene Koetje appointed acting Nashville police chief Gene Koetje, a seven-year veteran on the Nashville police force, has been promoted from patrolman to sergeant and named to serve as acting village Chief of Police. Koetje was appointed by the village council last week to fill the chief's post which was vacated by Kendal Wilcox who resigned recently. Koetje received his basic training at the Police Academy in Lansing and completed advanced training at the Police Academy at Kalamazoo Valley Community College. He has about ten years experience in law enforce­ ment and was formerly a part-time policeman in Middleville. Prior to moving to Nashville, Koetje operated a barbershop in Caledonia for 11 years. He and his wife, Joyce, have three children. Koetje said he does not plan to apply for the position of police chief on a permanent basis. Applications for the post are being accepted until June 1. ( (Maple Valley News photo) Spoelstra moved to put the additional RVS funds into the parking lot project- The council unanimously supported the action, and decided to seek other street repair monies from various available grants. A letter of resignation was received from Trustee Maurice Purchis, who has been absent since the January 25th meeting. An attempt by Christiansen to appoint Barton Bracy to fill the post was thwarted by the 'Council on a motion by Spoelstra to allow a council committee to offer names for consideration. In the past, the village president has traditionally named a replacement whenever a trustee’s seat was vacated by resignation. However, the village charter mandates that such vacancies be filled by appointment by the council. When Spoelstra challanged the past procedure, pointing out charter provisions, Christiansen then named a committee comprised by Ray Hinckley, Forrest Babcock, and Sandra Kohfeldt to submit names for council approval at the next meeting. Christiansen also named his standing committees for the new year.

That’s because Burr, principal of Maple Valley High School, and his wife, Audrey, have purchased the business at 105 Main Street from Sandy and Dick Kohfeldt and Ted and Clara Spoelstra. Audrey will manage the business and two of the four Hartenburg children, 15year-old Rachel and 12-yearold Kurt, will help her operate it. They will call their new business “ABC Dairy Delite.” The initials ABC Rachel practices making a cone at her parents new business, the ABC Dairy Delite at 105 N. Main in Nashville.

They also plan to have several high school students help them part-time in the business which will be open from 11 a.m. until dark, seven days a week. Eventually, Audrey said she plans to have a microwave oven to add sandwiches, hot dogs and pizza to the line of snacks already offered.

A weekly report from— “Foodflation”, signifying higher food costs, is the new “in” word in food circles and is of concern to Everyone, since it hits where it hurts ...in the pocketbook. Many prices are higher, but there are also many ways to “fight foodflation” IF you really want to, says Maryann Beckman, District Con­ sumer Food Marketing Agent. The key to lowering your own family food costs is the word IF, for saying money and getting your money’s worth at the supermarket depend primarily on your Own desire to do something about lowering your costs. As consumers, we don’t have much control over the prices charged, but we can control the amount we spend by following some old tried and true food shopping guidelines and learning more about newer cost-cutting techniques and helps available. One of the first tricks to lowering food costs is to I do some arm-chair price comparisons and to check your cupboards, freezers and refrigerators before going to the store. Once you know what you have on hand, then, arm-chair shop the weekly food ads to find the specials that will combine with your on-hand supplies. It’s a well known fact that buying many of the weekly specials saves you from 10 to 20 percent on weekly food bills. Ifyou buy even a few of the weekly specials, you can still save six to ten percent. Meat department specials offer the 'greatest savings since meat and protein items take the biggest share of your weekly food dollars. Featured prices are often 10 to 30 cents a pound less than regular price. Most stores feature anywhere from 10 to 20 different or similar meat and fish items weekly. If you choose only a few, you can have 4 to 6 less-expensive main dish choices. Recognize1 that not all of the items listed weekly in food ads are specials, however. You have to compare prices to know and know prices to compare. Generali^, meat, produce and the products listed in largest print are the better specials. Others listed may be only a few cents lower than usual or are offered at regular price to give you other ideas of items that combine well with the price leaders. Once you know what you have on hand and check the specials you want to?' buy, then make a shopping list. Mark the items that are specials and star the items for which you have coupons. Do be sure to remember to take the list with you to the s tore. If you forget your list and have to go back to the store later for the one or two items you specially needed, it’ll cost you up to 10 percent more in money alone, plus the extra time, gas, etc. When consumers go back to the store, they rarely buy just the one or two items they forgot, but tend to buy several other products as well, which are probably not wanted or needed. Organizing your list ac­ cording to store layout or by product groupings (such as produce, meats, frozen foods, dairy and other) saves you additional time, steps A money, once you get to And file store. Everytime you “back-track” through the store you tend to see, pass by and pick up several other items you don’t really need that a machete is not a “dangerous weapon” within the meaning of the state law on such things. It said while that may be a potentially dangerous weapon, “it is not a dangerous weapon per se.” Bottom Line - A recent manufacturers’ study which ranked Michigan poorest in terms of a good business climate in the 48 contiguous states has created much controversy; the study does not consider “quality of life” and seems weighted toward the “Sunbelt” states. However, it has focused attention on the need for reform, of the unem­ ployment and workers’ comp programs. Female Representation - An April report shows that although women have made' significant gains in state government employment since affirmative-action programs began in 1971, only 6.5 percent of officials and administrators are women, while 93.5 percent of clerical workers are female. Also, over 60 percent of women of government make less than $13,000; only .55 percent make over $25,000. . .: < Worker Employers - The House has approved HB 4119, which would set up a state office to help workers buy out companies that plan to close or leave the state. Only technical assistance and advice would be given, with the aim being to help preserve jobs in Michigan. Dear John - The House Judiciary Committee will soon be considering HB 4219, which would outlaw pay toilets in places of public accommodation, amusement or recreation. A violation would be a misdemeanor punishable by a fine of at least $100 and-or 5 days in jail. Wood Words - If you’re thinking of using wood as a primary or secondary home heating source, you might want to get a “Wood Heating Packet” from the Energy Extension Service with helpful hints on wood as a fuel. Write P.O. Box 30228, Lansing MI 48909, or call 800-292-4704.

We at present time have a fine director, whom our children need. He is not only a great band director, but also, teacher and disciplinarian. He is fair minded and would like to develope the potential Maple Valley has to once again be a No. 1 band. Why has this problem come about? Why can’t Maple Valley keep their band director? (This is my daughters’ 5th director, and she is only a freshman.) The one very important reason we can’t keep a director is because our system does not choose to support our teachers, band directors, or coaches in discipline matters. They DEALER WANTED • • • • Grain Bins Steel Buildings Post Buildings Livestock Equipment Profitable opportunity for local dealership. Field sales support. Financing available. Farmer, contractor or businessman considered. For information call toll free. 1-800-428-9682 seem to think that par­ ticipation only means, when students happen to feel like it, and no further com­ mitment is necessary or needed. It makes me wonder what would happen if the teachers decided all on the same day, not to show up for work. Would the system think that their action was alright, and no discipline is necessary. We should be educating our children for a produc­ tive, considerate, respon­ sible life, knowing that they must think about their ac­ tions before they act and accept the consequences of their actions, be it positive or negative. The sooner we teach our children this, the better it will be for them­ selves and those around them. If we lose this director, where will we get our next one from? Who will want to work for a system who has no intentions, nor the in­ testinal fortitude to support its teachers. I urge every parent to call the Maple Valley Supt., and School Board members in support of Mr. Petrosky. It is ethical and necessary for our faculty to have the backing of their administration. Our children need stability, not wishy-washy weakness. One who cares enought to get involved. BUILDING A GRAIN Betty J.

National leader 4-H Forum ‘79 By Jan Tirrell, 4-H Program Assistant Mrs. Cnarlotte Wight returned this week from Washington, D.C. where she attended a National 4-H Leader Forum at the National 4-H Center. Mrs. Wight was one of 52 delegates from 20 states. Developed around a focus on 4-H and Handicapped youth, the sessions were designed to help leaders become more effecitve in working with handicapped 4­ H members and volunteers. Special features of this week were four workshops on 4-H with mentally retarded, blind, deaf and physically impaired youth. The workshop on blind youth was made possible, in part, by a grant from the E. Matilda Ziegler Foundation for the Blind, Inc., New York. Other sessions included dealing with attitudes, recreation for all participants, working with other organizations and agencies, and tips and techniques in n meai preparation and home planning by a representative of the Campbell Soup Company, Camden, N.J. Mrs. Wight said that the most interesting part of these sessions was the sharing times. As 4-H leaders shared problems and discovered solutions, each participant gained new in­ sights and formed new ideas to help the handicapped person to grow through his or her 4-H experience. Leaders also had an op­ portunity to spend a day on Capitol Hill to discuss policies and legislative issues with members of the senate Subcommittee on the Handicapped and the Senate Agriculture Committee, and staff at the Department of Health, Education and Welfare. Other field trips included an awe-inspiring night bus tour of Washington, D.C. and an enlightening tour of the Great Oaks Center for the Mentally Retarded in the state of Maryland. Mrs. Wight plans to apply newly acquired skills in her work with the Lucky Suns 4­ H Club of Charlotte. 4-H Leader Forums are conducted throughout the year by National 4-H Council in behalf of the Cooperative Extension Service. You can learn more about how you might be involved as a 4-H member or leader by calling 543-2310 or your local Ex­ tension office. Mrs. Wight’s trip was sponsored by the Civitan Club of Lansing and the Eaton County 4-H Council.

Nashville, Wednesday, April 25, 1979 — Pope 2 Nashville News The recent floods that have left so many homeless in Jackson, Miss., are of special interest to Keith and Alice McMillen of Nashville who returned last week from an extended winter vacation in the southland, and they had just left the Jackson area a week prior to the inundation. The McMillens began their winter sojourn by traveling to Riverview, Florida, in their mini-home to join Keith’s sister and her husband, Donna and Clinton Dodge of Gaylord, who were also wintering in a mini-home. At Riverview they visited their brother and sister-in-law, Mr. and Mrs. Garold McMillen of Woodland. Other Florida stops were at Oka)waha to call on the Henry Semraus of Nashville; and at Gainsville to visit granddaughter, Deanna McMillen; plus a special stop at Largo for a family gathering to celebrate the 65th wedding anniversary of the John Hewitts of Hastings, Michigan and Pennsylvania relatives were present for the occasion. Headed for Houston, Texas, the McMillens en­ joyed a tour of Mobile, Alabama. At Houston they called on son, Charles, and family (she is the former Janet Marshall of Nashville); and toured NASA, Galveston Island,'' and area. Returning east to Hattiesburg, Mississippi, the Mc­ Millens called on their nephew and family, Dr. and Mrs. Neil McMillen and children. He is a professor of history at University of Mississippi and has authored three books. They are currently inyolved in restoring their residence — an historic home in the city. A stop at Jackson, Mississippi, then the journey home via the Natchez Trail — including a tour of Opryland at Nashville, Tenn. — completed the Mc­ Millen’s winter excursion.

Enjoying Easter dinner at a Charlotte restaurant were Carroll and Joyce Lamie; Dewey and Caroline Jones; Dennis and Janice Lamie and daughters, all of Nashville, and Bob and Hilda Jones of Battle Creek. Easter Sunday dinner guests at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Gaylord Gray were their children and families, Mr. and Mrs. Jerry Gray and children of Barryville and Mr. and Mrs. Sam Loy and children of Thornapple Lake Road. Later in the afternoon they called on Mrs. Gray’s mother, Mrs. Elva Goodson of Nashville.

The John Bitgoods had driven to Florida recently to join his parents for the journey back to Michigan. Prior to departing Florida, the families called on the senior Bitgood’s nephew, Don Hill and family of Gulf­ port, and all enjoyed a family picnic at DeSoto Park there. An oven fire at the Tim Boucher residence south of town necessitated the Nashville Fire Dept, being summoned early last Monday evening. However, the blaze was quickly extinguished by son, “Tad” Davis, and the flames were out when the fire trucks arrived. Smoke in the house was cleared by the firefighters and little damage was suffered in the mishap. The Builders Class of the Nashville United Methodist Church will meet at 8:00 p.m. Wednesday, April 25th, at the church Community House. Mr. and Mrs. Richard Green wjll host the event, and Karl Pufpaff will provide the program. It has been a bad winter for Ellis and Irene Bloom of Nashville even though they spent it in a sunnier clime than Michigan. Mr. and Mrs. Bloom returned home the first week of April after a four-month stay in California and Florida which was, unfortunately, an unhappy experience. While in California Ellis underwent treatment for a growth on his eye, a condition so rare that 140 doctors were on hand to observe the procedure at Stanford University Hospital. Mrs. Bloom remembers that one doctor was from London and two were from the Detroit area. The Blooms had gone to California to visit son Gale and family at Cupertino, but when it became apparent that eye surgery was required for Ellis they returned to their former home at Lakeland, Florida. Because of his heart condition, Ellis could not return to Michigan’s cold, but they wished to nearer home for the operation. After returning to Nashville, Ellis developed complications with his eye and was suffering heart problems when he was hospitalized last week at Lansing General. At this writing, he is still in considerable pain. The Blooms’ winter trek took them over 11,000 miles — all of which Irene drove by herself. And they found little Warm weather in their travels. When they left Michigan’s snow in early December they had clear sailing all the way to California, but found snow falling at Bakersfield. One of the few bright sides of the journey was the opportunity to visit their two small grandchildren in California and help celebrate the birthday of one while there. Don’t forget the- “Bunny Hop”, planned for Saturday evening at Nashville’s Fire Bam. The April 28th event is being sponsored by the Riverside Recreational Develop­ ment Corp, as a fund-raiser for their community recreational park project The Voyagers band of Grand Rapids will furnish music for the 9:00 to2:00 a.m. event. Mr. and Mrs. John Pearson of Okemos entertained for Easter Sunday dinner her father, Glendard Showalter, and her grandmothers, Mrs. Melissa Showalter, and Mrs. Elsie Cogswell, all of Nashville. Mrs. Pearson is the former Pam Showalter. Last we.ek’s, plea for readers who might recall a Merrill Donald McVean who once lived in Nashville brought a response from Lewis Schulze, who employed Merrill on his farm over forty years ago. McVean is being sought by his daughter, Mrs. Ethel Whitney of Quimby, who has not seen him since she was a very small child and does not have any current information on his whereabouts.

She had made the trip west in November by auto, accompanied by Mrs. Jeanette Joseph who visited her sister at Scottsdale before flying home. Phyllis resided in a mobile home park at Mesa and had a nice winter, though she reports it was a little cboler than normal due to above-average rainfall.

Phyllis joined the excursion when another woman scheduled to go on the trip became ill. Several unusual and interesting side trips into Mexico’s interior were enjoyed, including a boat trip down a jungle river to view animal life and vegetation. Shopping at the Matzalan marketplace was also a memorable ex­ perience; and the weather was very pleasant for the Mexican journey.

The year after Munro came to Nashville^ new hitching posts were installed in front of his Main Street store. When the- Munro Groceteria discontinued operation at his death in 1960, modern autos were parked where horses had once patiently waited to transport shoppers and supplies. Munro’s record of 55 years of continuous operation of the same business in its original Main Street location had made hime a local legend before he died July by Susan Hinckley Colin T. Munro wks a merchant who believed in personal service. When he came to Nashville from Chicago in early-December 1905 to assume ownership of the C. L. Glasgow store, he also established a policy of home delivery. His horse-drawn wagon served as sort of a “groceryon-wheels” for residents of Nashville and vicinity. Up to the start of World War I, Munro continued to make deliveries in the village and within a five-mile radius of 12, 1960. “Why is Munro’s store like a river?” was a locallypopular riddle back in the 1920’s. “Because there are banks on both sides,” was the quick response. Bounded by the Farmers and Merchants Bank on the north and the State Savings Bank on the south, the Munro building was eventually tagged with an “oldest store in Nash- ville” sign. The designation referred to the structure, located on the west side of North Main, which was razed in 1977 along with the old Keihl Hardware. In his first 51 years of operating a grocery store in the same location, Munro had seen 39 other groceries come and go, reported the Nashville News in December 1956. Munro, a faithful and regular advertiser in the News, may have seen customer service as a key to his success. In a 1950 New Year’s resolution published in a News ad, the Munro Groceteria promised: “As The Maple Valley Co-op Fresh eggs, cider, and oysters are advertised on the window of Colin T.

We thank out host of customers and friends who have stuck by us all these years and we sincerely wish you all the happiest and most successful year you ever had.” Munro, a Canadian nfative from Lodon, Ontario, had attended Ferris Institute at Big Rapids as a young man and, many years later, became a member of the Society of Golden Eagles of Ferris, an alumni association designed to honor those from whom 50 years or more had passed since their graduation from the college. “At one time, Colin studied to be a stenographer,”, recalls Nelson Brumm, “and when he served as Nash­ ville’s village clerk, he could take the minutes of an entire council meeting on a calling card, in shorthand.” In addition to his many years as village clerk, Munro also served two terms as a member of the council. “He never had a bookkeeper at the store; he did all the work himself,” remembers Bill Face. Munro always walked to work from his home at the corner of Sherman and State Street (present day Hansen home), Face recalls, and he cannot remember Munro ever driving an auto, though he owned one. “Even near the end, when he was in his eighties and had trouble with his legs, he would still shuffle down the street to work each day,” said Face. Vern Staup, a retired Main Street barber whose shop was opposite Munro’s store agrees: “Regardless of the weather, Colin would walk downtown - even when it was so icy no one else was out.” Munro was a dedicated man in all his endeavors. As a charter member of the Grand Rapids Wholesale Grocery Company,, an organization of retail grocers, he missed only one annual meeting in 39 years. At a May 1956 convention in Grand Rapids he was honored as one of the “old guard”. Munro’s stock certificate wks No. 3 in k compkny then comprised of 490 members. Munro klso established long-lasting civic and lodge affiliations, including the Masonic Order and IOOF achieving elevated positions in both - and was very active in the Nashville Methodist Church. At the age of 84, while serving his 55th year as a Main Street merchant, Colin T. Munro died. Within a few months his remaining grocery stock and a half-centruy of memories were being sold at auction. azor The Jerry Bandfields, who had purchased the contents of the store which adjoined their Main Street business, remember some of the goods sold at that sale - wire display baskets, bolts of string and twine for wrap­ ping parcels, extension arms for reaching top-shelf merchandise, and quantities of old books. Memorablia of a lifetime, and a passing era, crossed the auction block that day. But one special item the Bandfields have kept -and treasured - a small two-step grocer’s ladder.

In addition, twenty-one area syrup producers will be exhibiting and marketing their sweet produce which includes syrup, sugar, candy and maple cream a delicacy with the spreading consistency of peanut butter. "There will be plenty of maple syrup for sale this year, although there is no surplus,” advised Trowbridge. Even though production was less than normal this season due to unfavorable weather con­ ditions, syrup quality is good and prices are only slightly increased, he said. "I’m might happy with the way my old trees produced this year,” commented Mrs. Carl Gearhart, who hangs 4,200 buckets to collect sap from sugar maples on her 'Cochran Road farm, making her Michigan's largest producer of maple syrup from home-owned trees. Depending on sugar content of the sap, between 30 and 50 gallons are needed for the boiling process to produce one gallon of syrup. Mrs. Gearhart, with her late husband, began exhibiting syrup products at Vermontville’s festival over thirty years ago. Currently serving her third term as the only woman on the Board of Directors of the Michigan Maple Syrup Association, she blames “too much cloud cover” for the reduced production this year. “Syrup is one agricultural product we can do nothing to control,” Mrs. Gearhart explained, “The weather has to do it all.” Though there may be no surplus, there will be plentiful syrup to drown countless pancakes to be served in Vermontville’s Fire Barn by the Maple Valley High School Band Boosters - a major annual fund-raising project for the The "catch-up” Im­ munization program is underway for Barry County.

Ernest Nash State Representative Do Nothing—The minority leaders of the House and Senate have critized majority Democrats for devoting the legislature’s time to trivial issues instead of crucial items like comp reform, the budget, and implementation of the Headlee amendment Comp Reform?—Meanwhile, Governor Milliken has suggested a bipartisan task force to achieve reform of the workers’ compensation system. It would be made up of legislators plus tow department heads; he urged that it report by September 30. Pump Prices—Under federal law, a gas station must have the maximum allowable price on a sticker on each pump; it cannot sell gas at a price higher than that. If you feel a station has violated this, call the U.S. Energy Dept. 800-424­ 9246. Camp Fund?—By law, the state can draw on the Budge Stabilization Fund to stimulate the economy after any quarter when unemployment exceeds 8 percent—which happened in the first quarter of 1979. The state Budget Director has proposed that the available $5.6 million be used to build prison camps; the ultimate decision belongs to the legislature. Drug Costs—Michigan’s 1974 generic drug substitution law was supposed to save consumers nearly $20 million a year by allowing them to substitute less expensive generic equivalents for brand-name drugs when getting prescrip­ tions filled. A recent report shows that very few people are doihg this. A special House Committee will soon be created to study the problem. Medicare Supplement—Now in effect is a law which requires that anyone who qualifies for Medicare be eligible to buy a supplemental health insurance policy to cover non­ Medicare-paid costs. For details, write Consumer Alert No 12, Insurance Bureau, Box 30220, Lansing, Mi. 48909.

Thus every school board candidate must form and register a campaign committee, and file campaign spending reports with their county clerk. Safety Patrol—Michigan will soon begin a 4 year, $30 million program to improve the safety of our railroad crossings. Planned improvements range from new crossing gates and automatic signals to the elimination of crossing by consolidating sections of track.

From algebra to art, students were exposed to different activities involving the newspaper. The idea behind the project stems from the low scores students received in State Assessment Tests in the area of newspaper usage, said Principal Burr Hartenburg. By devoting an entire day to newspapers, teachers and administrators hoped to make an impact on the students as a way to begin to improve skills and knowledge of newspaper usage. Some of the teachers are planning carryover projects and plan to use the newspaper in their classrooms once a week. Hartenburg termed the day “rather successful” and said a similar activity probably will be held next year too.

We also owe our present group of employees something more in addition to just plain wages.” In his remarks to the members of the Big Gifts Committee he continued that, “Hoover is very happy to make its contribution to your fund and our employees are also striving to come up with an additional $40,000 on their own.

Vermontville Fire Dept, makes donation to Charlotte Hospital By Ava Kroger In the accompanying picture part of the members of the very efficient Ver­ montville Fire Department are shown, presenting a check for $200 by Joe Ann Nehmer (secretary) to Mr. Homer Winegar, chairman of the Vermontville area of the H-G-B Hospital Ex­ pansion Fund. The department has 21 members and 8 honorary ones. Besides their prompt­ ness in responding to fires and other emergencies it should be made known that of this group are taking an EMT (Emergency Medical Technician) course two nights a week. This is a 120 hour course equivalent to two college semesters to better serve the medical needs of our community in emergency situtations. Effective on July 1, it is required that one EMT go with the ambulance when on call, and after July 1980 two will be needed. Vermontville should be very proud of this depart­ ment and I (Ava Kroger) can speak from experience as I would have lost my home a few years ago if they hadn’t responded so speedily. The Expansion Fund Board is very grateful for this generous donation as the department sees a first hand need for a hospital near by.

Cook, County Extension Director If you’re thinking about buying lime-coated alfalfa seed, you’d best give the purchase some serious consideration. After three years of field testing, Milo B. Tesar, Michigan State University agronomist, is not impressed with the results. His research shows that lime coating does not improve alfalfa stands, nodulation or yields on sweet soil recommended for alfalfa, pounds of lime. • MSU scientists conducted fivex experiments during 1976-78 on sweet and acid soils on four soil types to compare stand establish­ ment and yields of alfalfa sown with regularly inoculated and lime-coated seed. The results are based on the same number of seeds being planted per acre as regular inoculated or limecoated seed. So, in the ex­ periments, when eight pounds of regular inoculated seeds were planted, for nor on any acid areas which may occur in an otherwise well limed field. Lime-coated seed is produced commercially by coating raw seed with a sticking agent and adding rhizobia inoculant. The seed and sticking agent are then coated with a lime layer. Two-thirds of the final product is seed; one-third is lime. . The rhizobia bacteria is a muck base and the sticking agent weigh very .little.

There were no differences in stand establishment, nodulation or first- or second-year yields between lime-coated and regularly inoculated seed on acid, sweet soils or moderately acid soils. The fifth experiment was conducted on a Kalamazoo sandy loam 75n the Kellogg Farm near Battle Creek. The soil pH was 4.8. Some plots were treated with 1%, 2% or 5 tons of lime per acre to bring the soil to increasing pH levels approaching 7 at the 5-ton rate. There were no differences in stand establishment or yields in the seeding year (1978) between alfalfa from regularly inoculated seed and lime-coated seed on the acid or sweet woils. Secondyear yields will be taken in 1979. The results from these five .experiments support the recommendation first made by Michigan State University in the fall of 1976: “Don’t use lime-coated seed on sweet soils recommended for alfalfa.” Results from 1977-78 support an additional recommendation: “Don’t use lime-coated seed to improve alfalfa stands or yields on acid soils.” Limecoated seed will not improve stands or yields on acid pockets in fields which are generally well limed but may have moderatley acid (pH 6.0) or acid (pH 5.5) areas.

Yields were the same for each seed rate fromregularly inoculated or limecoated seed in the year of seeding or in the next year.

The J.V. team is off to a very slow start this year. The biggest problem they have right now is the lack of hitting. As a team they are batting a big .081. Seven hits for four ball games will not win a team many ball games. The only ball game we have won so far we ended up with no hits. Smart base running and a few misplays by the opposing team con­ tributed greatly to Lion victory. It also helped when Todd Gearhart threw a no hitter ofhis own. Todd struck out 10 and walked only 3 Central Montcalm batters on his way to victory number 1. This week will tell the story about the season.

Nashville. Wednesday. Moy 2. 1979 — Page 2 Nashville News Congratulations to George B. Dean (dur next-door neigh­ bor) who is celebrating his 95th birthday Tuesday, May 1st. A native of the Nashville area, he was born in 1884 on his family’s farm one mile north of Maple Grove Center. His parents, George 0. and Susan (McKelevey) Dean built the large brick home on the southeast corner of the Assyria and Lawrence Road intersection (present-day Ossenheimer home). As a child George attended the McKelvey school, then later drove a horse and buggy into Nashville to attend classes at the high school-graduating in 1902. He furthered his education at the University of Michigan and, later, at Tri-State College at Angola, Indiana. In 1909 he went to California to work as a steam engineer for the Southern Pacific Railroad, and later worked there at a power generating station for the Edison Company. When he returned to Michigan in 1920, he was employed as a stan­ dards engineer for General Motors at Flint. Ninty-fi ve years have never dulled his keen sense of humor nor his profound interest in state and national politics. He carries on a steady correspondence with many individuals, a goodly number of them being elected officials. A few letters from the White House have come his way too. We are happy to report George is still enjoying very good health despite a nasty spill on the ice last winter, and often walks downtown from his Reed Street home. Mr. Dean is also a regular patron of Putnam Public Library, always seeking to increase his knowledge of all subjects, and has been very helpful in aiding library personnel in research on local history. Recent Sunday afternon callers at the home of Mrs. Melissa Showalter ofNashville were her cousin and his wife, Mr. and Mrs. Lawrence Holcomb of Assyria. Lester Woodbury of Vermontville, son of Mrs. Verna Frederick of Nashville, is confined at Pennock Hospital, suffering from a slipped disc in his back.

"What a swell depression that was, anyway,’’ ob­ served a pragmatic Nash­ ville News reporter in September 1933. "The longest, the meanest, the lowest in the history of American business.” "Lots of things caused it to start and others kept it going,” explained the writer, "but we have turned our backs on all that now and as a united nation have finally reached that well-known corner. Let’s forget it.” But memories of hardships suffered in those few preceeding years still lingered and others, yet to come, would not soon pass. In 1929 Nashville’s economic picture had ap­ peared promising. "Nashville’s two banks, the State Savings Bank and the Farmers and Merchants State Bank, are in excellent condition according to yearend reports having, together, more than a million dollars in deposits,” revealed a January 1929 News issue. By the first of September, September the .two banks would merge to form the Nashville State Bank.

She was selected by a vote of the students in her office block class. The vote was based on the student’s classroom effort and at­ titude, and sincere interest in pursuing a career in the office occupations area. She received her cer­ tificate of academic achievement at the annual Education Night of the Battle Creek-Kalamazoo Chapter of the Ad­ ministrative Management Society.

(5-2) Wetlands Waiting—Debate continues slowly on House and < Senate bills to preserve and protect Michigan’s wetlands. Most recently, Senate debate centered on the fundamental question of property owners’ rigts vs. the state’s right to use of land. Personally, I’ll support the individual property rights of this issue. Business Boost—The House will soon vote on HB 4118, which would create a Business Development Corporation with the power to make loans, buy property and provide credit, all in order to promote business development in Michigan. Campaign Charges—An Ann Arbor man has been charged in the first criminal case based on Michigan’s Campaign Finance Reporting Law. The man, who lost, did not file a post-election spending statement: he says the law is un­ constitutional. Child Support—The House last week approved HB 4389, which further defines “children born out of wedlock” to include those not the legitimate issue of a marriage, and gives women the right to sue the actual father for child support; this will save state costs for child support. Also approved was HB 4227, which bans explicit reference to illegitimacy in birth documents. License Liberty—The House State Affairs Committee is considering HB 4114, which would revise and consolidate Michigan’s licensing and regulation laws. The L&R Department Director says the bill will expand powers to protect the consumer, eliminate unnecessary regulation and help make the various professions more competitive,with resultant benefits to the public. Tight Squeeze—Although it was thought that budget difficulties for the present fiscal year had been worked out, it now appears that rising Medicaid and ADC costs will require another $20 million to be cut from other spending areas in order to balance the budget. Sexual Harassment—Hearings on sexual harassment on the job, believed to be the first such ever sponsored by any state, are presently being held by the Labor Department. There will be one May 3 at Northern Michigan University in. Marquette and two in Detroit on May 9. School Warrants—The Attorney General has ruled that public school administrators may not search student lockers or cars without first getting a search warrant. He said that court opinions have clearly established that students have constitutional rights while at school. Higher Education—The State Board of Education has reported that -the average 1977-78 salary for a K 12 teacher in Michgan was $16,454. Salaries ranged from a low of $10,113 paid to teachers at Mackinac Island all the way up to $22,461 paid to Dearborn City teachers. senior citizens DAY THURSDAY, MAY 3rd THE MIRRORS IMAGE CARES ABOUT YOU j □ SHAMPOO & SET.......... *3.00 0 □ PERM ,..*17.00 We Guarantee all Perms.

Late last March the MV band performed a spring concert. This was an event that was announced well in advance, and was on the calendar that was handed out at the beginning of the year. It is quite evident that plenty of warning about this performance was issued, and it was a required per­ students involved with this formance. letter are, I hated to think A few students didn’t hear that the band could be losing the announcement of the such fine students and concert, or failed to check muscans ese peope. musicians as as these people. their calendar, and bought However, they did go to the tickets to see a rock concert. concert, and I could see no These people were informed other choice that Mr. that going to a concert other Petrosky could make other than the one that they made than to kick them out. a commitment to would On the ninth day of April mean dismisal from the these students were read­ class. mitted into band. Being a devoted band I am glad to have them student myself, as the other back, however, before let­ ting these students back in someone forgot to think about a few key points in Mr. Petrosky’s point of view: he is in charge of ap­ proximately 200 and 300 students a day. That means he has to have the respect of 200-300 people, and if they know what Mr. Petrosky says will be contradicticted in the “higher ranks” they won’t have to listen to him, and there goes that respect. Also with their being allowed to come back into band, the attendance policy, which previously effected the grade if the student didn’t show up to the performance, is left wide open. For a couple of years now we have been trying to build up the band program. Then we run across a man who can do this building, and we have made progress, but we need more time, Frankly, I have to say that the way things look now, a few people will be happy, and ap­ proximately 100 other students should prepare to take a giant step backwards.

Drying is a way of preser­ ving foods known for thousands of years, tn drying, sufficient moisture is removed from a food material to prevent its decay; water of properly dried food can vary from 5 percent to 25 percent (dehydrated foods have 2.5 to 4 percent water).

There are disadvantages: Drying can be costly and require considerable time. There are several methods of drying food. Sun Drying requires uninterrupted days of hot sun and low humidity. Sun drying is not very practical in general, for Michigan climate. Some are trying it, however. Oven Drying - drying in your oven requires using very low temperatures. Oven door must be propped open. It is costly in terms of energy used. Dehydrator Drying Electric dehydrators, some with fans, range in price $120 to $250. Costs to operate will vary with costs per KWH of electricity and efficiency of the dryer - could be from 25c to $1.25-day. Air Drying — Herbs and some other foods may be successfully dried, by hanging after harvesting at appropriate times. Tie them in small bunches and hang in well ventilated room out of direct sunlight. Or may be hung in cheesecloth or mesh plastic bags. Do not hang in garages due to auto fumes. Microwave Oven Drying - Not practical for large quantities because of long time required. Ex­ ception — herbs which can be placed between dry paper towels and dried 1 to 2 minutes in Microwave Oven.

Nashville, as v e, Wednesday. enesay. May ay 2.. 1979 — Physical fitness plays important role at M.V Keeping in tip-top shape can be fun as well as beneficial to the body and mind. Students and a group of adults at Maple Valley High School find that in­ corporating a physical fit­ ness program and exercise into their regular routine not only provides them with new skills but enjoyment too. Governor William G. Milliken, in recognizing the important role physical fitness and exercise play in the well-being of the people of the state of Michigan, has proclaimed April 29 - May 5 as Michigan Health and Fitness Week. “A healthy body promotes an active and productive mind. It is important for people of all ages to acquire the knowledge, skills and attitudes that lead to the enjoyment of a physically active life style. Programs that give everyone the op­ portunity to learn sports and develop other physical skills leading to participation in and enjoyment of physical activity are to be encouraged,” said Governor Milliken in his executive declaration. The Governor said he * urges citizens of the state to take up life-prolonging and health-giving activities. At Maple Valley Schools, Physical Education Teacher, Jackie Peak said, “One of the reasons physical education is incorporated into the curriculum is to promote physical fitness and activities in the students’ lives.” 21^4 •SjSBf ■ ’* -"'•MUMsti One of the aims is to teach sports activities that can be enjoyed throughout a per­ son’s lifetime. One of the biggest recreational activities for youth and adults is jogging, currently on the upswing in terms of popularity. Exercise, softball, and handball is also popular here, and more and more tennis is being played. New additions to the physical education program at the senior high level are units on handball and bowling. In the bowling unit, students are taught the mechanics of the sport using rubber balls and plastic pins on make-shift alleys in the gymnasium. During the three-week session, the students are taught the fourstep approach, how to keep score, and have an op­ portunity to participate in team bowling. Next year, Jackie said she hopes to offer courses in orienteering (where students use a compass; learn how to move over various types of terrain); and possibly cross country skiing and roller skating or ice shating. Since mid-December, some of the Staff at Maple Valley Jr.-Sr. High has elected to devote a portion of their lunch period to keeping physically fit. On Monday, Wednesday and Friday, the physical education instructor, a business teacher, English teacher, two secretaries, and sometijnes a counselor and the school nurse can be found at noon using the weight machine to keep their muscles in tone On Tuesdays and Thursdays, they spend part of thenregular lunch break doing a variety of exercises. Also, instead of heading home when the dismissal bell rings at the end of the school day, another group including a business teacher, counselor, home economics teacher, English teacher, learning disabilities instructor, plus several students stick around to exercise together. They started their program in January and have recently added jogging to their list of activities. Another dedicated group of weight watchers and physical fitness buffs start their day at 6 a.m. with jogging at the track. Next year, Jackie hopes to set up a community exercise program during a one-hour physical fitness session after each school day. Each year, in the spring and fall, the physical education department ad­ ministers the national physical fitness test to students and awards patches to those with high per­ formances. The students are tested for strength, agility, and flexibility in sit-ups; pull ups; modified flex arm hangs; standing broad jump, 50 yard dash; 600 yard run and shuttle run. During Michigan Health and Fitness Week, the Michigan Association of Health, Physical Education and Recreation, the Michigan Council on Physical Fitness and Health, the Michigan Recreation and Parks Association, in cooperation with affiliates and friends, is emphasizing the importance of physical education, sports and recreational opportunities in schools and communities. A variety of activity, including a unit on basket- ball, is part of the physical education classes at Maple Valley. Charlene Martin is shown as she sinks a basket. English teacher Julie Swartz exercises her upper back, shoulders, and arms. Bev Black, learning disabilities teacher, uses the weight machine to work on biceps curl. ’“.cry:^ >'« »ns!Mf«h - ;•:•■:•'■" thscu '••■■: IfcVJX ■ iar-sm? i.’~ .■ r>.!1 !|!

Box A, Nashville, Michigan Phone 945-9554 (Hastings) The Maple Valley News, Vol. 105, No. 51 - Wednesday, May 9, 1979 Nashville Council discusses proposals for sewer project At a special Monday evening public meeting of the Nashville Village Council last week, it was recom­ mended that there be no initial sewer charge for vacant lots in the village until such lots are developed, following installation of Nashville’s proposed new sewer system. At that time, it is expected the orginial hookup fee will be charged the owner, plus an annual percentage increase based on a yet-to-be-determined escalating scale. The recommendation, made in the form of a motion by Trustee Ted Spoelstra, authorized recentlya formed Public Information Committee, headed by Lonny Kienutske, to use the vacant lot proposal in various public meetings and news media releases planned in the near future to inform local residents about the sewer project Kienutske, also a recent council appointee, was chosen by Village President Harold Christiansen last March to head the Public Information Committee, a group comprised of council members and village residents. Also named to the committee, designed to inform the community about the proposed sewer project, were Nelson Brumm, Ray Hinckley, and Tom Oleson. Another question considered at Monday’s meeting was whether reconnection fees should be charged to homes presently on the sewer Volunteer ‘Block Parents’ neededBlock Parent Program applications are being sent home to parents in the Maple Wood school area. “The program is designed for city use”, states, Captain Long, Eaton County Sheriff Dept. “But I see no reason it won’t work in the rural area.” The purpose of the program was and continues to be to provide children in the communtiy with a source of help in emergencies which may arise while traveling to and from school or any time. This was accomplished by having one or more volun­ teers on each block in the city or mile in the rural areas. The purpose of Block parents is . to provide children a source of help in emergencies which may arise while traveling to and from school. It is intended especially to assure the security of children in the event of dismassal of school at an unexpected time. The success of the plan is the block parent’s home. These homes, located on each street and road in the school community, serve as havens for children of any age, in need of emergency help. It is the home of private citizens. Volunteer parents have no legal status except that of a responsible, sen­ sible private citizen who will obtain aid in the event of an emergency involving a child. The plan can be likened to an insurance policy; it is there if the need should arise, but hopefully will not be needed very often. It also affords the police depart­ ment an extra pair of eyes. reconnection fee decision are those presently paying sewer charges because their septic tank systems flow into storm drains running into Thor­ napple River or Quaker Brook. The council reached no conclusion last Monday night on the reconnection fee question, pending further study to pinpoint the exact number of homes classed in these two categories. “I would like to invite the public to attend our council meetings, especially these next few weeks,” said Kienutske following Mon­ day’s meetings. He advised that much discussion and clarification on the sewer project will be upcoming. “Those who have questions but are unable to attend meetings, may write us on the various issues,” he added. Kienutske stressed the council’s need for public input on the proposed project If you did not receive a application and want to participate please call JoeAnn Nehmer, 726-1019 or Maple Wood School, 726-0600. It must be expressed that you don’t have to have a child in school to-be active in the program, you may be retired, a farmer, or a senior citizen. This program is sponsored by Maple Wood P.T.O. in cooperation with Eaton County Sheriff Dept.

Wednesday, May 9, 1979 — Page 2 Nashville News Three generations of a Nashville family, whose ancestor Thomas Blaisdell was one of Castleton Township’s earliest settler, will be speaking at the annual Alumni Banquet set for June 2 at Maple Valley High School. Kenneth A. Meade of Franklin will act as toastmaster at the Saturday evening event. His son, Kenneth F. Meade, Sr., of Jackson is president of the Maple Valley Alumni Association and his grandson, Kenneth F. Meade, Jr., of Nashville is vice­ president of the organization. Plans call for the school to be open at 5: 30 p.m. for alumni and guests wishing to visit and reminisce before the 7:00 p.m. dinner served in the high school cafeteria. Musical entertainment for the evening will be furnished by the John Maurer family, including local and out-of-town members who were all NHS or MVHS graduates. Mrs. Larry (Judy) Hook, acting as secretary for Nashville alumni, has been very busy lately trying to contact graduates for banquet reservations. Due to the increasing size of the alumni mailing list, invitations are sent only to those who attended last year’s banquet; those celebrating their 20th anniversary (this year, the Class of *59); and then a retrogressive 5-year basis, which would be ‘54, ‘49, ‘44, ‘39, etc. By following this pattern each year, every class is eventually contacted. Those not receiving an invitation by mail for the alumni banquet may make reservations by sending the form, currently published in the Maple Valley News, to alumni association treasurer Mrs. Donald (Loretta) Pixley. Acting as secretaries for Vermontville graduates are Mrs. Richard Todd and Patty Wright, both of Nashville Assisting Judy Hook with alumni banquet invitations for Nashville graduates is Mrs. Elizabeth Lynch of Biven Road, who is also organizing a 50th reunion for her Class of 1929. Eighteen of the 26 original members of the class are still living. Those attending the banquet will receive special recognition. Proceeding the evening event, Mrs. Lynch will host an afternoon open house at her residence for members and friends of the Class of 1929. All are welcome to stop between the hours of 1:00 and 5:00 p.m. Several Nashville alumni are still “missing” despite diligent searching by Mrs. Hook and Mrs. Lynch. Readers’ assistance is asked with the following names: David Wallace, *59; Darrell Lancaster, Mildred Teeter, and Patricia Root Graham, all ‘54; Margaret Weeks and Irwin Trevina, both ‘49; Lois Winans, ‘47; Duane Gray, ‘44; Fred William, ‘39; Russell and Pauline Partridge, both ‘34; and John Wotring, ‘24. Anyone having current information on the whereabouts of these Nashville High School grads is asked to call Mrs. Judy Hook at 852-9655 or Mrs. Loretta Pixley at 852-9863. Mrs. Lamoin (Gladys Jarrard) Mitchell of Nashville is organizing a 25th class reunion for her Class of 1954, as part of the alumni banquet event Additional details will be furnished later.

Bliss Company at their plant at Athlone. They were able to visit several other European countries during that trip so they have had a wonderful year of traveling and sightseeing. Also recently returning to Nashville from Florida were George and Kathryn Augustine, who left for the south in early November. They had a good winter at Zephys Hills except for the fact that George had to be hospitalized for a week in March due to emphysema. No sooner home, the Augustines headed north for a weekend visit with Kathryn’s sister and brother-in-law, Ina and John Perry, who were celebrating their 50th wedding anniversary. An addition is being added to the rear of the Marathon “C” Store at the comer of North Main and Reed Street. Con­ struction began last week on the extension which will provide additional storeroom facilities for the grocery store. The Marathon “C”, owned by Katz-Davis of Battle Creek, is managed by Joseph “Don” Bouchard of Nashville. Lester Woodbury of Vermontville, son of Mrs. Verna Frederick of Nashville, is still confined at Pennock Hospital with a slipped spinal disc but has shown improvement and is able to be out of traction a few hours each day. It appears surgery will not be necessary. Nashville “snowbirds” continue to wing their way home. Returning last Monday were Dorothy Edmonds and Alice Fisher who have been staying at Jacksonville the past six months. Daughter Marcia (Mrs. Darrel Baker) of Washington, D.C. flew to Florida and drove the camper home for Dorothy and Alice, giving them an opportunity to stop in Washington a few days enroute. On arrival in Michigan, Marcia spent a couple days here before flying back home. ' Also returning last week from the sunny south were Ralph and Gladys Richardson, who have been wintering at Bradenton the past six months. In February, the Richard­ sons attended the annual Barry County picnic at Bradenton. Approximately 230 persons were present for the affair organization for the coming year and Gladys was chosen for the post of Secretary-Treasurer. Congratulations to Mrs. Villa Olin-Meyers'who celebrated her 85th birthday last Thursday, May 3rd. A lifelong resident of the Nashville area, Mrs. Meyers still enjoys reasonably good heath. The Nashville Site Senior Citizens plan to purchase a new public address system for their meeting quarters at the Masonic Temple. It is hoped the equipment will facilitate enjoyment of speakers and entertainers who often appear before the group, and it will also aid the site supervisor in making daily announcements. Donations from the senior citizens will purchase the audio system. A cordial invitation from the Village Inn to host the May 9th dinner of the Nashville Chamber of Commerce was accepted by Charles Andrus, Jr., president of the organization. Terril Thomas is in charge of reservation for the 7 p.m. Wednesday event. President Andrus will report on recent meetings with Barry County Grants Coordinator, Sylvia Dulaney, and officials of the new Kent-Barry-Eaton Railroad. Reports are also expected from the Civic Im­ provement Committee, relative to the Christmas street­ lighting project; and from the Tourism Committee, on possible membership in the West Michigan Tourist Association. Mrs. Audrey Powers of Nashville was transported to Pennock Hospital last Wednesday night by the Nashville ambulance, as she was suffering symptoms of a heart at­ tack. Recent Sunday callers at the home of Mrs. Elsie Ramsey of rural Nashville were her son and family, David and Suzanne Ramsey, and daughter Leigh-Anne Michelle, of Sturgis. David and Suzanne are former teachers in the Maple Valley school system. Last Tuesday, Mrs. Ramsey was surprised with a visit from her grandson, Allen Brenner of Springport, a teacher at Albion, who was in Nashville to attend a meeting at Maple Valley High School. The Golden Agers of the Nashville United Methodist Church will meet for a noon potluck dinner at the church Community House Friday, May 11. The Nashville United Methodist Church Council on Ministries will meet at 7:00 p.m. Tuesday, May 15, at the church, followed by an 8:00 p.m. meeting of the Ad­ ministrative Board. Denise (Yarger) Hansen of Nashville was selected as “Hunny Bunny” at the recent Bunny Hop dance sponsored by the Riverside Recreational Development Corp. The April 28 event, staged at Nashville’s Fire Bam, drew a sizeable crowd to dance to the music of the Voyagers, a Grand Rapids band. Canisters for several “Hunny Bunny” con­ testants were circulated among the dancers, as sponsors sought money votes for their candidates. At the final dance intermission, votes were tallied and Denise’s canister yielded over $40. All proceeds of the contest, dance tickets and concessions go toward development of a communtiv recreational park west of the Main Street stores. Denise recieved a giant-stuffed bunny as her reward. An Easter motif, in pastel shades, brightened the hall for the By Susan Hinckley festivities. Tables, topped with blue-checkered covers, were* centered with colorful egg trees. RRDC committee mem­ bers had dyed and hand-painted egg shells, stuffed them with artificial grass and placed candy in the eggs before attaching them to fresh-cut branches set in flower pots. Pink and blue streamers completed the Easter decor. Nate Sheldon of Nashville enjoyed a recent three-day trip tto Ludington to visit his son and daughter-in-law, Jim and Lori Sheldon. Nate and Jim had planned a fishing trip on Lake Michigan but high winds made the excursion im­ possible. Instead, Nate spent some time helping Jim with construction work before returning home. Phil Reagan, former Detroit Tiger pitcher, and presently baseball coach at Grand Valley State College in Allendale, will speak at Sunday School services at the Nashville Baptist Church the morning of May 20. Mrs. Nellie Moon of Nashville received special recognition at last Wednesday’s United Methodist Church mother­ daughter banquet. As a complete surprise to Mrs. Moon, she was feted for being the oldest active member in the local unit of United Methodist Women. Present at the banquet to award her an honorary certificate were Lansing District UMW executive officers, vice-president Joyce Plumhoss of Mason, and secretary Jean Hudson of Holt. Mrs. Moon also received a carnation corsage from the local United Women organization. Several person received special honors for attendant categories at last week’s United Methodist mother-daughter banquet. Roses were presented to Mrs. Ada Scott of Nash­ ville, for being the oldest lady present; to Mrs. Lloyd (Elizabeth) Wilcox of Nashville, for having the most family members present; to Mrs. Woody (Leigh) Haroff of Kalamazoo, for traveling the farthest distance to attend; and to Mrs. Kendal (Vicki) Lundstrum of Hastings, for having the youngest daughter present. A potluck dinner, served by men of the church with some assistance from the young ladies, was enjoyed by the United Methodist mothers and daughters Wednesday evening. Mrs. Richard (Lucy) Martin sang the “Lord’s Prayer” as an invocation. Centerpieces made in the fashion of ladies’ hats under the direction of Mrs. Morris (Nita) Brown, decorated the tables. The traditional mother-daughter response was given by three generations: Mrs. Victor (Mabie) Brumm, Mrs. Justin (Grace) Cooley, and Gale Cooley. Musical en­ tertainment by gospel-singers, Redeeming Love Quartet of Hastings, was greatly enjoyed. Special recognition also goes to Mrs. Joe (Marge) Andrews for preparing the lovely publicity posters for the event New officers were elected by the Maple Valley Cooperative Nursery School last Wednesday evening Chosen as new president of the organization was Rosalind Lingholm. Susie Butler was selected as Vice-President; Lois Hawblitz as Secretary; Sheri Reynolds as Treasurer; and Brenda Shoup as Historian. Mrs. Hawblitz and Mrs. Lingholm will also serve as editors of the organization's newsletter. Housed in the former United Methodist parish house on Washington Street, the nursery school has a current enrollment of 48 students, divided into two morning and two afternoon classes. Parents pay a yearly enrollment fee of $10 per child, then $14 per month tuition. Two teachers, Merry Lou Ossenheimer of Nashville and Jo Ann Kelty of Hastings, are employed by the nursery school. Mrs. Veda Guy of Nashville drove to Bristol, Indiana, last Friday to visit her son and daughter-in-law, Mr. and Mrs. Kendall Guy.

WlH * AZZ recently after vacationing in Florida where they visited their parents, Al and Rose Smith, former Nashville residents now of Largo. Sonya flew down on April 2, and Bill joined her Easter weekend. He first drove to Long Valley, New Jersey to call on Jim and Sandy (Smith) Cutropia and children. Later, the Cutropias, Bill, and his mother, Mrs. Hazel Kjergaard of Elberta, Michigan, drove to Largo in the Cutropias’ bus. After a few days visit, Mrs. Kjergaard flew back to Michigan but the others stayed a week at Largo before returning home. April weather there was beautiful. Sonya enjoyed swimming every day and Bill golfed daily. Readers will be interested to know that Rose Smith is recovery from a December heart attack. Al had successful cataract surgery in February and a plastic lens implant has restored perfect vision. However, he was hospitalized for two weeks in mid-March for chronic lung and bronchial conditions. He continued out-patient treatment, and both he and Rose are now showing improved health. Sonya reports they have tremendously enjoyed correspondence from friends here. Al has now returned to his job in the golf pro shop at the course in Fairway Village, the mobile home community where the Smiths have resided the past five years. A visit to former Nashville resident, Dr. Robert White and his wife, Loris, at Lake Panasoffkee, Florida was also en­ joyed by Sonya, who accompanied her parents there in early April. However, the Kjergaards missed seeing Tom and Carmen Maker, also former local residents, who now make their home at Orlando. But they visited by phone, and Senya reports they are happy and well as when, the Makers visited Nashville last summer. Slides on Alaska, and the Alaskan pipeline, are being shown locally on Monday, May 21, under sponsorship of Nashville’s newly-formed “Friends of the Library” organization. The 7:00 p.m. event, to be held at Castleton Township Hall on South Main Street, will feature Ted and Orpha Stiffler of Mulliken, who will be showing the Alaskan slides and conducting the presentation. Mrs. Stiffler is employed as a tour guide. FOL members also plant to conduct a story hour, in conjunction with the program, to entertain the younger children while their parents and older family members are enjoying the travelogue. The annual Mother-Daughter Banquet of the Nashville Baptist Church will be held at 7:00 p.m. Monday, May 21st, at the Maple Valley High School cafeteria. Carol Kent of Ft. Wayne, Indiana will be guest speaker for the event. The history, facilites, and even tales of the elusive “bat in the basement” at Putnam Public Library intrigued Fuller Street School fourth graders of Mrs. Geraldine Long’s class last week. However, the bat made no appearance when the youngsters took an extensive tour of the library last Tuesday, under the guidance of Librarian LaDuska Sheldon. The children had an opportunity to view all three floors of the building and were extremely interested in the background of the Putnam family, who formerly resided in the structure, and willed their residence, several hundred books and some antique furniture to start Nashville’s library in 1923. Old-style wedding classes will be featured in a fashion show of handmade clothing at the Nashville Church of the Nazarene mother-daughter banquet set for Friday evening, May 11. The potluck dinner will be followed by the style show and a display of hand-crafted items, including macrame, crocheted items, etc. Art items, such as oil paintings, are also slated for the exhibit. Mrs. Eliza Emery of Nashville will undergo hip surgery Wednesday, May 9, for replacement of a hip socket and joint due to injuries she suffered in a fall during a Florida visit, winter before last. She will be at Leila Post Hospital in Battle Creek. A recent weekend houseguest of Mrs. Elsie Ramsey of rural Nashville was Mrs. Arlie Stambaugh of Nashville, and Saturday afternoon callers were Mrs. Ramsey’s grandson, Jeff Weiler and friend, Brian, of Vermontville. Family Fun Evening is planned at the United Methodist Church for Friday evening, May 18. The 7:00 p.m. event will feature a variety of entertainment for family members of all ages. Those attending are asked to bring along games and “snack makings” which can be prepared at the church Community House kitchen. . Every mother present at Sunday morning worship ser­ vices at the Nashville United Methodist Church on May 13 will recieve a rose in honor of Mother’s Day. Mrs. Verna Frederick was an overnight visitor of Mrs. Dorothy Vickers of Battle Creek last week, and they were Wednesday evening callers on friends, Mr. and Mrs. Gerald Lewis, of Battle Creek. Word has been received that Adolph Douse has had kidney surgery at Lakeland, Florida and expects to be recuperating for a month. He was released from the hospital last week and reported to be doing well. He would undoubtedly ap­ preciate hearing from his Nashville friends. Will Suntken of Nashville had additional out-patient tests at Leila Hospital in Battle Creek last week. This was the second series of tests Mr. Suntken has undergone for a persistent cough which has been bothering him. George Augustine of Nashville was taken to Leila Hospital in Battle Creek last Thursday night by the Nashville Am­ bulance. He had been suffereing complications from em­ physema since his recent return home from wintering in Florida. At the time of this report, it was unknown how long he will have to be confined.

(517) 852-9802 GEORGE HERMENITT �The Maple Valley News, Nashville, Wednesday, May 9, 1979 — Page 4 Memories of the past . . “Nashville has the three best blacksmiths in the county, also the three best looking milliners,’’ observed editor Orno Strong in 1873, shortly after he published the first Nashville News. Down through the years, the village smithy had provided a service vital to American industry and growth. And, some fifty years after Strong’s declaration, Nashville still had three blacksmiths (and two milliners), according to a 1926 Barry County Classified Business Directory. Jasper G. Deeds, Eldred S. Barney, and Phillip H. Penfold, all blacksmiths operating on Nashville’s Main Street, were listed in that early volume. But another longtime local smith, Frank Caley, had recently given up his profession to become a dry goods and groceries merchant after suffering severe injuries while shodding a horse. “He was kicked by a horse that the owner had called gentle,” recalls his daughter, Mrs. Mildred (Caley) McPeck. By that time, Midred’s grandfather, John Caley, then nearly 80, had also retired from smithing, a trade which had occupied most of his life. A native of the Isle of Man in the Irish Sea, John Caley had come to America as a young lad. He married Caroline Bollo in New York state before migrating to Michigan and settling in Maple Grove Center. There be opened a blacksmith shop where he soon found his young son, Frank, always underfoot - asking to help hammer nails. As he grew to manhood, young Frank continued to learn the smithing trade from his father and, by 1903, the two had entered business together on Nashville’s South Main Street (in the present-day white-painted brick apartment building across from the Fargo Service Station). For the next 20 years, father and son operated Caley’s Blacksmithing until the accident misfortunate sidelined Frank. “Dad was unable to continue smithing because of chest injuries, so he sold the shop to Grandma Caley’s nephew, Jesse Campbell,” remembers Mrs. McPeck, “and bought Ward Quick’s grocery store on South Main.” Later, Caley moved his grocery business to the McDerby Block on North Main, at the corner of; Washington. Caley became active in civic affairs, serving nearly 25 years as Nashville’s Fire Chief and 12 years on the village council. Though shodding horses often proved a dangerous occupation for blacksmiths, and they are frequently considered only in that capacity, smithing was actually a multi-talented craft. “A blacksmith was often called a ‘farrier’ in those day,” noted Mrs. McPeck. They worked with iron and ususlly shod horses, but a person does not necessarily have to be a blacksmith to shoe a horse, she explained. Fan*iers shaped and welded all sorts of iron ob­ jects - hinges, latches, and irons, tools, and utensils. Working on buggy and wagon wheel rims also consumed much of their time. “I can remember Mother and Grandma Caley going to the shop to help set buggy tires and wagon wheels,” reminisced Mrs. McPeck. Phil Penfold,.another wellknown Nashville blacksmith, was also seriously injured by a normally-placid horse that became startled as he worked on the animal. “He had shod ‘kickers’ before,” recalls his daughter, Mrs. Velva (Penfold) Bitgood, “but this one was unexpected.” Trampled by the horse in the early 1930’s, Penfold continued to maintain his Main Street shop, just two doors south of the former Caley smithing operation, until his death in 1936. Though he kept the shop open, Penfold was able to work only part-time due to failing health precipated by the shoeing accident. Penfold owned a smithing business in Vermontville before coming to Nashville in 1916 to work for Norm Hagerman at his blacksmith shop on North Main, at the Phil Penfold, right, stands with two unidentified men at his Vermontville shop in the pre-1916 photo. He was later trampled by a horse at his Nashville shop on South Main, suffering injuries that limited his work..

When Hagerman retired, Penfold smithed for Jasper Deeds as his shop just north of the present-day Nashville Fire Barn. Penfold went into business for himself in 1920 when he opened a shop on a South A buggy rim, horseshoe and smithing toos are shown in this early photo of Caley's Blacksmithing on South Main, opened in 1903 by John Caley and his son Caleys Frank. Standing, left to right: Frank Caley; John Wellman; John Caley; Charley Rue; unidentified man; and Jim Taylor, local "vet". Frank was later seriously injured while shodding a horse, forcing his retirement from smithing.

T. Morris. Deed’s Blacksmithing Shop became the last smithy operation in Nashville, with Dean Bennett practicing his trade there in the 1950’s. (Another longtime operator of the shop was a smithy by the name of Copeland who left Nashville for Chicago just prior to World War I). Some ten years after Bennett’s last anvil ring echoed through the shop, local artist Mary Holman brought new life to the structure when she opened an art gallery in the quaint old quarters, which have since been razed. Today, Orno Strong would find neither blacksmiths nor milliners on Nashville’s Main Street but memories of remains.

COLOR PRINT FILM 12 EXPOSURE I �The Maple Valley News, Nashville. Wednesday. May 9, 1979 — Page 6 Proposed improvement of Greggs Crossing bridge scrapped Public opposition to the proposed replacement of Greggs Crossing Bridge, west of Nashville, may have scuttled the project, it was disclosed at a public hearing Thursday. “We’re not pushing the project anymore,” said Jack Kineman, Barry Road Commission engineermanager. “Apparently nobody wants it.” Kineman spoke at a meeting called by Sylvia Dulaney, Barry County Grants Coordinator, to seek citizen input on use of a potential $170,000 grant available to the townships of Castleton and Maple Grove and the village of Nashville as a unit. The funds are offered under a U.S. Housing and Urban Development Communtiy Block Grant which received pre­ application approval in April. Proponents of the bridge project had suggested allocating $50,000 of the HUD grant to add to federal and state grants which would pay 90 percent of the $192,000 construction costs for replacing the bridge. The additional local funding was needed to acquire property right-of-way and build new bridge approaches. “I am surprised at the opposition we have had to the bridge project”, Kineman told the audience. He said the crossing was on the state’s “critical bridges” list. It is considered too short, too narrow, and has been limited in load capacity to seven tons. Justin Cooley, supervisor of Castleton Township in which Gregg’s Crossing Bridge is located, concurred with Kineman. He said he has also encountered op­ position to the proposed replacement of the present iron truss bridge. Cooley explained the township could not afford to replace the span if it should give out in a few years. Though local funds were sought, in part, to acquire right-of-way, Kineman revealed Thursday that a OPENING.. MAY 24th Ceylon and Nadine's Green House GARDEN PLANTS and FLOWERS property owner whose land would be needed for the project had opposed it and had enlisted the Michigan United Conservation Club in his behalf. Kineman said he had met Wednesday with the property owner and representatives of the MUCC. Opponents of the new bridge have cited what they consider the high cost of the new span for the low traffic volume on the sparsely populated county road. And some have said the HUD funds should be used in projects more beneficial to the entire Castelton-Maple Grove-Nashville community. The HUD grant could also include $210,000 for housing rehabilitation and $25,000 for country administration of the program. “The HUD Block Grant funds are some of the freest dollars available from the govern­ ment,” commented Miss Dulaney. “It allows in­ dividual tailoring to your community needs.” Citizen input on proposed uses for the community funds included new am­ bulance housing, a senior citizen center, community building, and development of a community recreational park. Miss Dulaney explaned various eligibility requirements for such projects under the HUD grant which, she said, is designed to primarily aid low and moderate income Located: on M-66,1Vi miles N. of Nashville Phone (517) 852-9086 Nashville; 25th CELEBRATION TRUMBLE Insurance Agency Although Greggs Crossing Bridge is on the state's "critical bridges" list, public opposition to the proposed replacement of the span apparently has scuttled the project. Federal and state grants are available to pay for 90 percent of the $192,000 costs for replacing the bridges. However, opponents of the project consider the cost to be high for the low traffic volume on the sparsely populated country road. Local funds of $50,000 would be needed along with the grant monies to replace the span. persons and minorities. Mrs. Winifred Keller, Barry County Planning and Zoning Director, was present to explain the housing rehabilitation program, part of the HUD Block Grant. She reported that a similar Orangeville Township project has provided such improvements as insulation, plumbing, storm windows, furnaces, roofs, and bathrooms to homes for eligible low-income owners. “The program has really helped our elderly in Orangeville Township,” Mrs. Keller added. She said there are no strings attached to the housing grants, and she advised local officials act as contacts for qualified homeowners who may be skeptical of the project. Each HUD rehabilitation project must bring the home up to state building code requirements within the limits of the monetary grant allocation, which was set at $5,000 per home in Orangeville Township. If a home cannot be brought up to standard within this alloted amount, it will not be included in the project. Miss Dulaney said she anticipated the per-home allocation will be somewhat higher than $5,000 when the Nashville program is approved.

They tell us that the first five or even three years of life determines the kind of person we will become. How important then to be loved and cared for by a good mother. Even though my own mother has been gone for 36 years I have not forgotten her love and concern for me. Besides making sure my ears were clean she introduced me to the Bible, and saw to it that I spoke correctly. She helped me gain an interest in reading and learning.

Ernest Nash State Representative Generic Drugs - Michigan consumers are not taking ad­ vantage of the State’s generic drug law which allows con­ sumers to ask for lower priced generic drugs instead of “brand name” equivalents. A recent study revealed that only 2.8 percent of the prescriptions filled since the new law took effect were filled with the lower cost generic drugs. PBB Study - The federal government will pay 700,000 dollars of the State’s 2.5 million dollar study of the effects of PBB on Michigan citizens. Although past test indicate there are no apparent immediate effects on human health the long term effects remain a question mark. Bum Steering - Michigan real estate agents will not be allowed to use the practice of racial steering under legislation awaiting debate in the House. Racial steering is the practice of leading or influencing a person to buy a house in particular areas based on the person’s race, religion, nationality, age or other factors. Solar Breaks - The Governor has just signed a bill giving Michigan taxpayers substantial incentives to go solar. The bill allows homeowners and renters to install and build solar systems and subtract up to 55 percent of the cost from their state and federal taxes. Centennial Run - Michigan runners are invited to par­ ticipate in a new event this spring which celebrates both the centennial of the Michigan State Capitol and Michigan Week. It’s the 10,000 Meter Fitness Run sponsored by Blue Cross-Blue Shield of Michigan and WILS radio in Lansing. The event is scheduled for May 20th at 10:00 a.m. in Lansing.

May 9. 1979__Page 13 From Kellogg and Fuller Schools- Good citizen of the weekThis week at Fuller and Kellogg Schools in Nashville, an exception has been made to allow six students to share the spotlight for outstanding citizenship awards. Nor­ mally, only three students — each from different classes — are chosen for the honor each week. Selected for'citizenship honors this week are Lori Smith, Anthony Jason D’ Onofrio, Daniel Lykins, Sarah Curtis, and Jeff Hamilton. Lori, a third grade student at Fuller Street School, is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Dennis Smith of N. Queen St. Lori, 8, enjoys cooking, reading and playing softball. She also sings in the choir at church. Math and reading are her favorite subjects in school. In naming Lori for the award, her teacher, Mrs. Anthony Jason D’Onofrio Nancy Ricketts said, “Lori is not only an outstanding student but she is just an allaround good citizen. She is always willing to help out with a smile on her face. Lori is a kind, considerate, and very responsible student” • Anthony, son of Mr. and Mrs. Jerry D’Onofrio-of Queen St., says his favorite activities are writing stories, bike riding, and playing basketball and baseball. A first grader at Fuller, Anthony picks recess and handwriting as his main interests in school. He was selected for the honor by his teacher, Mrs. Becky Stark. She said An­ thony, 7, is a “hard worker, serious about school, good helper, neat, and has a pleasant attitude.” Daniel Lykins, 12, is a sixth grade student at Kellogg Elementary. The son of Mr. and Mrs. Charles Lykins of Thor­ napple Lake Road, Daniel said his primary interests are animals, nature, plants, and canoeing. The subjects he enjoys most at school are math, reading, English, and science. Sarah Curtis is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Vernon Curtis of Law Road. Sarah, 12, said her hobbies / are acrobatics, playing the flute, riding horses, and participating in “most sports.” Her favoritie subjects in the sixth grade are math and reading. Jeff Hamilton, son of Mr. and Mrs. Duane Hamilton of Bivens Road, is interested in basketball, football and track. He is 11 years old and in the sixth grade. Math and social studies are Jeff’s favorite subjects at Kellogg. “These students are respectful to adults and fellow students, dependable, helpful and have a good sense of humor,” said their teacher Steve Slag. In fact Mr. Slag feels he has such an exceptional class that he wanted to name 14 students as good citizens this week, “...as many of the students in this class are great and make teaching fun.” That would have conflicted with the established proceedure for the citizenship awards, however, but the rules were bent this one time to allow him to pick three students for the award. Named to receive honorable mention in Mr. Slag’s class are the following students who possess out­ standing traits of a good citizen: Mike Barnhart, Heidi Braden, Mike Brewer, Kyle Christopher, Lori Ebersole, Chuck Elliston, Duska Morowski, Bob Napier, Loretta Spidel, Jim Symonds, and Lynnette Williams.

No. 52 - Wednesday, May 16, 1979 Council OK’s free sewer hook-up for 67 homes I There will be no “up front” sewer hookup charge for 67 village homes that must be reconnected to new waste water collection lines when Nashville’s proposed new $3,396,105. project is in­ stalled, village officials decided at Thursday’s council meeting. Twenty-seven of the“free” reconnects are homes presently served by a Lentz Street collection line that must be lowered to eliminate costly installation and maintenance of a lift station of the village’s east side. The remainder of the 67 homes are presently paying sewer-use charges fpr septic systems flowing into storm drains that run ito the Thornapple River or Quaker Brook. . Trustee Lonny Kienutske reported that consultation with Bruce Kuffer of William and Works in Grand Rapids, engineers for the proposed project, has established there will be 183 additional homes' added to the new system under current plans. Nashville is presently seeking federal and state grants totaling 80 percent of the project cost for con­ struction of the new system, including collection lines, lift stations, and a waste water treatment facility to be located west of the village. An additional 10 percent state grant may help fund the treatment plant. In other business, village officials approved employeerecommended amendments to an inter-departmental in the current village pension procedure plan would not lose any adopted by the council in benefits in the changeover, March.. he said. “The employees had read In other business, a 3-2 a lot l into it (the original vote of the council approved procedure) that wasn’t hiring of Scott Decker as a there, ” eexplained Trustee Department of Public Works Ted Spoelstra, head of a employee at the rate of $4.75 special commitee that per hour for a 90-day recently met with all village probationary period, which employees to review the upon satisfactory completion procedure.. will provide a 25 cent hourly The council had sought increase.

The with other employees. high turnover in village employees was cited as one reason for switching to the IRA plan which White called “less cumbersome” than the current pension program started in 1974. “Things have changed a lot since then,” noted White. He indicated the village Dennis Casteele will speak would probably end up at the 7 p.m. Thursday, May saving money due to the 24th meeting of the Ver“pure simplicity” of the IRA montville Historical Society system.

Written em­ ployment applications, filed with the village clerk, are available for review by all council persons at any time and Kienutske and Hinckley warned that divulging ap­ plicant information at a public meeting could lead to problems. By a unanimous vote the council gave qualified ap­ proval to the hiring of Rick Ross as village zoning adminstrator. Ross, a college student, must agree to accept the part-time post for the stipulated yearly salary of $1,200. Bids on demolition of the old “standpipe” water tower n Putnam unam Park ar were ae in were tabled pending allocation of funds for the project, Hinckley reported^ He also said bids on blacktopping Cleveland and Middle Streets and a downtown parking area would be presented at the next council meetng.

Mailbox Improvement Week - May 21-26 The Postal Service designates a week during May each year when customers on rural and city motorized delivery routes are encouraged to examine and improve, where necessary, the appearance of their mailboxes. The week of May 21-26 has been selected this year. The purpose of Mailbox Improvement Week is to call attention to the need for providing mail receptacles which are designed to protect the mail from the weather and are neat in appearance of the coun­ tryside and the streets in suburban areas. Mailboxes that meet these four important requirement contribute to a more efficient delivery operation, and the result is improved service to the entire route. There are two approved styles of boxes: Traditional design in three standard sizes, and contemporary design. On rural routes, mailboxes of the approved tr? iitional or contemporary aes..gn are required whenever a mailbox is newly installed or an unsuitable receptacle is replaced. If the use of street or road names and house numbers has been authorized, the house number will be shown on the box. If the box is located on a street or road other than the one on which the customer resides, the street name and house number must be inscribed on the box. In all instances, placing the owner’s name on the box is optional. Due to varying road and curb conditions, and other factors, it is recommended that customers contact the postmaster or carrier prior to initially erecting or replacing their mailbox and support. On city motorized routes with curbline delivery, it is recommended that the box be either the approved traditional rural type box or an approved suburban box of contemporary design. Boxes designed primarily for use by customers receiving door delivery are difficult to serve efficiently from a vehicle. However, any box that gives protection to the mail and allows safe, convenient delivery from the carrier’s vehicle is acceptable.. Conf, page 11 — �The Maple Valiev New*, Nashville, Wednesday May 16. 1979 — Page 2 Nashville News Although Christmas may not be uppermost in most folks’ minds right now, an appeal is being made to local residents and merchants to contribute to Nasvhille’s Chamber of Commerce Christmas Street Decorating Fund. The organization’s goal is to raise approximately $360 by the end of May to purchase lamp post decorations from Bronner’s in Frankenmuth at seasonal discounts. An on-going program by the Chamber has attempted to add at least one new street decoration each year. Last year, a raffle of two merchantdonated bicycles raised enough funds to purchase one new lamp post decoration in June and establish the decorating fund. Merchants will soon be placing canisters in their in­ dividual stores to collect community donations. Irene Goodnoe, secretary of the organization and a member of the Chamber’s Civic Improvement Committee will also be calling on all businessmen for contributions to the Christmas fund. Let’s all help to brighten our village for the coming hiliday season; a contribution now will add special “ joy to Christmas 1979.

Gayion and Marie Fisher of Nashville returned home in April from a winter’s stay at Apache Junction, Arizona, then after a brief rest headed north to smelt fish at “Singing Bridge” near Tawas City./The Fishers didn’t catch many fish but ended up with dandy colds, though the weather was fairly pleasant. After four months in Arizona, the Fishers took the long way back to Michigan, calling on former Lake Odessa residents, Rev. and Mrs. Irving Yonkers at Jackson, Miss. About a week later, the disastourous flood hit that region but as far as the Fishers now know, the Yonkers were not affected. The suburb in which they live was not in the inundated area. The Fishers had a pleasant winter in Arizona, enjoying several visits from Friends and relatives who made trips to the southwest.

A flurry of activity has been going on at Sandyland Park in preparation for opening of the summer season. Among the recent project was the addition of children’s playground equipment in the picnic area near the mam gate, to keep the youngsters entertained while Mom and Dad are watching the shows. The “gremlins” apparently got into last week’s column and completely deleted two lines of print intended to let readers know that Ralph Richardson of Nashville, recent returnee from a winter’s stay in Florida, was elected in February to head the organization responsible for the Barry County picnic, a'major social affair held yearly at Bradenton. With Ralph as president, his wife, Gladys, was “drafted” to accept the post of secretary-treasurer for the upcoming year. Over 230 Barry County residents attended the event this year. Perhaps the “gremlins” were also responsible for the confusing item on the Mother-Daughter Banquet at the Nashville church of the Nazarene. Old-style wedding dresses (not classes) were shown at the Friday evening event. The gowns were part of a fashion showing of hand­ made clothing, in addition to a variety of arts and crafts on display following the dinner.

A reunion of the Class of ‘54 is being planned but will not be held until July 14. Mrs. Lamoin (Gladys Jarrard) Mitchell is making arrangements for the event to be staged at St. Cyril’s Community Hall in Nash­ ville. Sorry about the confusion the erroneous report may have caused. Gladys is currently getting invitations for the class reunion our to her classmates, and has been obtaining graduates’ addresses from Judy Hook, who has been han­ dling mailing of alumni banquet invitations to Nashville grads. But there is no connection between the two events. Recent returnees to Nashville from the sunny south are Mrs. Gunda Pennock and Leonard Shull, who both wintered at Bradenton. Tom “Tad” Davis of Nashville flew to Florida to drive his grandmother, Mrs. Pennock, and his great­ uncle, Mr. Shull, back to Michigan.

Tom is a teacher in our local school system. Fifty-one weary MVHS seniors and four adult chaperones returned to Nashville last Tuesday after an exciting but exhausting 6-day trip to Washington, D.C. and New York City. Accompanying the seniors were Mr. and Mrs. Tom Taylor and Mr. and Mrs. Bill Kipp. An all-night ride ona chartered bus took the'group from Nashville to Washington in 12 hours. There, they toured many traditional spots, in­ cluding Mt. Vernon, Arlington Cemetary, the White House, and Smithsonian Institute. On the third day, the group departed for New York City where, upon arrival, they spent many hours walking city sidewalks to view a multitude of sights, among them the Statue of Liberty, Chinatown, Greenich Village, Times Square, the United Nations * building, Lincoln Centef, and Broadway. A New York subway ride was a new experience for most of the local youngsters, and the visit was concluded with a fabulous dinner at Mama Leone’s Italian Restaurant. Another night­ long ride on the chartered bus brought the weary travelers home Tuesday forenoon. Reports are the journey was thoroughly enjoyed by the students who, though exhausted, appreciated the opportunity to view life in a large city.

Fifty complaints were reported, with three assists to other police departments. Among local department calls were 4 open doors, 2 fights, 2 possible abductions, 7 suspicious person and prowler complaints, 6 cases of malicious destruction of property, 4 harassment calls, 2 larcenies, 3 family fights, 1 bad check, 2 abandoned cars, and 1 stolen license plate.

Two local residents, Mrs. Velva Bitgood and Mrs. Pearl Staup, believe the unidentified man in the photo of Norm Hagerman’s Blacksmith Shop (in last.week’s “Memories” story) is Lyle Maxson. They recall that he often wore stripped overalls and walked past the North Main Street shop on his way to work. Maxson, employed by Michigan Central Railroad, lived on Kellogg Street, north of Thor­ napple River. Mrs. Staup also noted that the Nashville blacksmith listed as “Eldred S. Barney” in a 1926 Barry County Classified Business Directory (mentioned in last week’s story) was probably really Barney S. Eldred, a well-known local smith.

A weekly report from— Ernest Nash State Representative' Wetlands Sold - Now in the House is SB 3, which would regulate use of the state’s wetlands. It was approved by the Senate after much debate and many attempted amend­ ments by a vote of 25 to 8; a similar struggle is expected soon in the House. Split Budget - Headlee makes the state maintin the proportion of budget used for local programs as occurs in this year. The ratio for 1979-80 is out of whack and $106 Million needs to be cut from programs to adjust it. Prison Program - Governor Milliken has proposed that the state spend $404 Million to build more prisons. However, some legislative leaders have questioned this and suggested that non-prison alternatives like parole should be con­ sidered. Comp Plan • A Republican Task Force on Labor has developed a discussion paper setting forth a detailed set of Workers’ Comp issues and potential approaches to solution. Bottom line - no increased cost to business with higher benefits offset by abuse elimination. The Task Force will solicit views ofworkers and employers on the points. Conflict Conflict - HB 4325-26 are supposed to prevent conflicts of interest by requiring complete financial disclosure by state and local officials and by their spouses and children. Already there has been much testimony against this, contending that broad disclosure requirements will force many good people off of low-paying local boards and commissions. Crime Rate - The State Police have reported that serious crime in Michigan in 1978 was below the 1977 level, and that the rate was below the national average for the third con­ secutive year. However, all crime was still up by some 2 percent, violent crime up by 0.5 percent. No-Fault Feet - The State Court of Appeals has ruled that people who carry no-fault insurance on their cars and are injured as pedstrians have a right to collect benefits. But if they don’t have their own-fault, they may seek benefits from the driver that hit them. Subway Stop? - In two recent votes the House has taken different positions on the question of preliminary funding for a subway for Detroit. This reflects the close division of opinion on whether the state should spend many millions on something that will benefit Just that area. Jobs Down - Michigan’s unemployment rate for April was the highest in nearly two years. The 8.6 percent rate for that month represents 366,000 people out of work. The Em­ ployment Security Commission says the Teamsters dispute may have affected the work rate during April.

The money will be used to pur­ chase two new lamp post Christmas decorations at summer discount prices. Irene Goodnoe, Chamber secretary, will be contacting local merchants and business owners for in­ dividual donations to the fund. In an on-going program, the Nashville Chamber of Commerce has attempted to add at least one new lamp post decoration each year. Last summer, a raffle of two donated bicycles raised enough money to buy one summer-discounted Christmas decoration and establish a street-decorating fund. In other business relating to the 1979 Yuletide season, Andrus named a committee to plan a Christmas parade, the arrival of Sants, and the placement of Sants’s house in Central Park. Serving with Andrus on the Christ­ mas committee will be David Mace, Mary Porter, Terril Thomas, and Sharon Brumm. Other discussion at the meeting included the Nash­ ville Bucks gas coupon promotion; the ordering of additional Nashville tourist brochures, and tentative plans for merchant promotions to coincide with the annual sheriff’s posse “pony express’’ ride which is slated to pass through Nash­ ville, June 9th. Bob Abendroth, Chamber member and also a member of the Barry County Sheriff’s Posse, will obtain additional information on the event so that more details may be furnished for publication in the near future. During President Andrus’ report to the organization, the group learned that “if a suitable office lication can be found here, Nashville could very well end up as headquarters of the new Kent-Barry-Eaton Connecting Railroad.” Andrus told of a recent meeting in Nashville with Jean Miller, a represen­ tative of K-B-E Railroad-the company which expects to assume operation of the present Conrail system, June 1st. Also present at the recent meeting with Andrus and Mitchell were Jim Bordon, Barry County Commissioner for Middleville, and Sylvia Dulaney, Barry County Grants Coordinator. Andrus said K-B-E- of­ ficials are looking for a central railroad office location with nearby storage space for 12 railroad cars plus an engine. He indicated Hastings, Middleville and Nashville are being con­ sidered by K-B-E but said the company “will locate where they have the most attractive offer” and “where they can best function and operate.” They prefer an area close to trackage, so office and yards would be in close range, and office □ Simon Pharmacy only Ad Graphics, Inc. at Hastings, publishers of the Maple Valley News, The Reminder, and several other publications. Chamber members will minority-owned railroad in the country and that location of their office in Nashville would be a real asset to the village.

Miss Flora Boston, daughter of Nashville’s Memories of the past . . enterprising by Susan Hinckley Women far outnumbered men on Nashville’s school faculty seventy years ago. Only two men were among ten teachers employed to instruct students from kindergarten through 12th grade for the 1908-09 academic year. With a staff comprised of so few mem­ bers, administrators often found themselves cast in dual or triple roles. One of the best remembered was Prof. Charles W. Appleton, newly-hired Superintendant ........ ']) **......... 'll ’Wks® * 'll irm th inof Schools and irmth structor who beca became me a popular athletic coach the same year. “He was an outgoing individual,” recalls one local senior citizen. Appleton and his family lived on Middle Street, just north of the old Dr. Vance home across from the school, and he led a very successful football team in both the 1909 and 1910 seasons. When Appleton left Nash­ ville in 1915, it was to accept a similar post with the Lake Odessa school. However, he reportedly became disillusioned with his position there and gave up Ap­ teaching altogether. pleton spent the rest of his life as a Lansing life in­ surance agent. Principal Russell Wightman, a math and chemistry teacher, was cast in a similar role-serving as assistant football coach in those early days. “He was a real quiet type,” remembers Mrs. Helen Hecker whose late husband, Vern, was a member of Nashville’s 1908 football team, directed by Appleton and Wightman. Although Helen was only a 5th grader at the time, she recalls Wightman well. “He married while he was here-a girl from away-and brought his bride to live in Nashville,” she noted. “They set up housekeeping in the second house north of the present-day South End Grocery Store.” The Wightmans left Nashville after a short time and they may have moved to southern state, perhaps Florida. In addition to Supt. Ap­ pleton and Principal Wightman, eight females c6mprised the balance of the 1908 teaching staff. Miss Florence Grohe was responsible for the primary department. “She was a tiny little lady who never married,” recalls Mrs. Hecker, “but she loved those kindergarten kids as if they were her own.” Florence Proudly displaying a school pennant are boys of the lived with her parents in the Class of 1909, left to right: twins Eltie and Elzie present-day Matson home at Clifford, and Orlan Boston, whose older sister.

Her younger brother, Orlan, was a graduate in the Class of 1909. Another brother, Irving, became a local legend when he died heroically trying to rescue a young skater who had fallen through the ice on the frozen Thornapple River. Both drowned in the tragedy. Miss Nina Chappel, who taught third and fourth grades in 1908, lived at her family home on South Queen Street, and remained in the Nashville school system several years. Vesta Lewis, who came to Nashville from Three Rivers to teach fifth and sixth grades, also stayed a number of years. Miss Minnie Dunham, 7th and 8th grade teacher, made a lasting impression on many of her youngstudents. Some considered her very “strict” but she was ap­ parently an effective in­ structor, labeled “a good teacher” by others. Having previously taught at the Me Kelvey School in Maple Grove Township, Miss Dunham lived with her parents on South Main, in the present-day Meehan home. Miss Mary Ruthrauff, high school Latin and German instructor, also lived on Nashville’s south side, rooming with the Reynolds family on Durkee Street, in the present-day Boughton home. Mary was obviously as young in heart as in age. “I can remember running a foot race with Miss Ruthrauff after school one day," recalls Mrs. Clarence (Bunny) Shaw, a sophomore in the 1908-09 school year, who later became a longtime Nashville teacher herself. Little is remembered of Miss Nell Bradley except that she was a high school history and English instructor who moved to Grass Lake when she left Nashville.

Each of the three-year-old tots during the morning tea on Friday gave their moms a very personalized message written on bright colored construction paper and decorated with a print of their very own hand. The words on the paper were written by the teacher who had asked each child to 'tell why “My Mom is the Best Mom...” “My Mom is the best Mom because she makes cookies for me and lets me have two said one puppies,” said one youngster. Other responses were ...because she goes outside with me”. because she is special when w e stays home, and when she combs my hair”...“because she makes supper and pours milk”...“because she loves me.” All of the Moms received a “Best Mom Award” from their youngster as they arrived at Nursery School Friday morning and the “tea” concluded with the serving of punch and cookies the children had made themselves. Teachers at the Nursery are Joanne Kelty and Merry Lee Osseinheimer. Enrollments for the 1979-80 school year are being accepted now. The nursery is geared for 48 youngsters who are divided into several classes.

Her husband, son of local meat market owner, Henry Roe, died at their Washington Street home during the 1918 influenza epidemic. In 1924 Mrs. Roe and her three children moved to Ithaca where she had accepted a teaching position. However, Mrs. Roe from pg. 7 returned to Nashville during the early 1930’s to again teach music_and art for several years.

For. a perfect blend between County pavement marking up for bids* Pavement marking on various Barry County roads at an approximate cost of $70,000 with a November, 1979 completion date is one of 34 highway and airport construction and main­ tenance projecs to be put up for bid Wednesday, May 16 by the Michigan Department of Transportation. Bids on all projects will be opened at 10:30 a.m. in the Priidden Auditorium of Lansing’s Civic Center cheese and wine, be sure neither flavor dominates. Light, dry white wines should be served with light cheeses that, are delicate in flavor. Heavy, full-bodied wines should be served with cheeses with pronounced flavor. When preparing a tasting party, allow four to six ounces of cheese and a half bottle of wine for each guest. Open red wines an hour before serving to allow them time to “breathe” and develop a full bouquet. Cheese, with bread and crackers, helps to neutralize the palate between wines. Offering cheese in large portions permits guests to slice the amount they wish. Be sure to provide plenty of knives to avoid mixing various cheese flavors. When serving wines, have guests sample dry win6s first, white and red, then sweet wines, again offering white before red. Tasting a glass of sweet wine first, spoils the tastebuds for drier wines. To keep from com­ bining wine flavors and aromas, you will need to rinse out each glass after each wine. For anticipated wine tastings, building a “library of bottles,” a small wine cellar, is not a difficult task. A clean, dry, well-ventilated dark comer away from hot water pipes will do. Corking allows wine to continue maturing in bottle. Store bottles horizontally so wine is in constant contact with the cork. This prevents the cork from becoming too dry and shrinking, which would let air seep into the bottle. Iff air should reach the wine, it begins to oxidize, losing its color, bouquet and aroma.

Main �The Mople Valley News, Nashville, Wednesday, May 23, 1979 — Page 4 Memories of the past . By Susan Hinckley When Edward Liebhauser set about building a barn on his property west of Nashville some 63 years ago, he gave it great throught and planning. But he may not have realized he was creating a long-lasting landmark for the com- munity. “As a child, I always knew we were getting near Nash­ ville when I could see the round barn,” remembers Mrs. Robert Tobias. She and her husband are now owners of the 12-sided structure situated high atop Oversmith Hill on M-79. Dormer windows added in the 1920's by Frank Tobias, new owner of Liebhauser's barn, added increased ventilation and viewing to the landmark structure now the property of Frank's son, Robertt Tobias.

The three of us are working hard to find positive, satisfying ways of dealing with the increased pressures on our family life. One solution has been to drive in for dinner with Howard on nights when he is working late. Michael chooses on these occasions to ride_home with his father “just to talk.” And as all parents would, we treasure his comments about his new life. When they talked about our evenings at the White House, he asked, “Why don’t I ever get an invitation?” He described his frustration at not getting to shake the President’s hand recently“President Carter ignored me and he was only two feet away.” And when Michael heard about the Washington street people who sleep on top of steam vents in the winter to keep warm, he passionately vowed, “If I ever meet one of them, I will give him $100.00 for an apartment or a new winter coat.” When Howard was lost during one of those bewildering attempts to maneuver across town and over the Potomac, Michael said, “Dad, you may be a terrific politician, but as a regular person...” *• But little things are But I think at times he still wistfully says to himself (as he did during the campaign), “I wish daddy was a baker.

Howard was in the district again for the week-end, so Michael put together a surprise treat­ pink grapefruit, carrot and lettuce salad with Italian dressing, milk, and freshly baked corn muffins still snuggled sunny golden in their teflon pan. It wasn’t - brunch at the White House but the service couldn’t be beat. As we ate and watched the Abbott and Costello buffoonery on TV, I began to think about Michael’s Washington experience these past few months. With Howard gone three weekends out of four, Michael and I plan won­ derful tourist trips around Washington. They always begin at the National Air and Space Museum. Michael wants to be a space scientist, although not in engineering, chemistry, astronomy, etc... I think he has more in mind becoming the galaxy’s first space tour guide(“and on your left, folks, you can see the wonderful moons of Jupiter”). Life in Washington has only whetted this ambition. All my plans to visit the famous land­ marks and art galleries have succumbed to Michael’s insatiable desire to stop first at the Air and Space Museum. I have no problem now leading visitors to the tube of Old Spice brushles shaving- cream used by Michael Collins on Apollo 11, but I have to think twice about where the Lincoln Memorial is. Michael is delighted that Howard is on the Science and Technology Committee. NASA’s youngest and pushiest lobbyist lives with us! But the move to Washington has not been all Star Wars and jelly beans for Michael. In our first month out here, in a particularly low moment, Michael asked Howard, “Daddy, why didn’t you ask me before you ran for Congress? Then, after a thoughtful moment, he added, “But I guess I would have been too young to un­ derstand what it would mean.” Since Howard’s election to Congress, we find it more difficult to have family moments. Not only is by Nina Wolpe making Michael enjoy Washington more and more every’ day: a Little League coach who thinks Michael is the next Willie Mays, new exhibits at the Air and Space Museum which even he hasn’t seen, and, most of all, a neighborhood full of new and exciting friends. A recent letter to his old classmates shows these changes: ‘Dear Class, I’m having fun but not as much as I had there. Because here -they only have noon recess and there is no metric system! But there are some good things too. Like at lunch we get to sit anywhere we want to, and I learned to do a times test with 40 problems in one minute and eight seconds.

The 1952 report read, “Mrs. Flora Boston Reinhardt, 70, of Ann Arbor, a descendant of one of Nash­ ville’s pioneer families and former schoolteacher here, was killed in an automobile accident in Florida.’’...The head-on crash, the report noted, occurred near Perry and also claimed another life. The story then related that Flora “had graduated from Nashville High School in 1898 and from State Normal at Ypsilanti in 1900. For the next six years she taught in Nashville Schools, then went to Ann Arbor, where she taught many more years.” Among survivors listed in the 1952 obituary was her brother, Prof. Orlan W. Boston, then head 'of the engineering department of the University of Michigan. Orlan was pictured in last week’s "Memories” story as one, of the three senior boys displaying the school pennant, and also as a member of the 1908 Nashville football team. Also, an update on Prof. Charles W. Appleton, another member of the 1908-09 faculty, was received in a recent letter to Mrs. Clarence (Bunny) Shaw of Nashville from her third-cousin, Mrs. Lillian Mead of Traverse City. Lillian, a 1911 NHS grad whose maiden name was also Mead, wrote that she had lived several years with the Appleton family while they were in Nashville. Prof. Appleton was Superin­ tendant of School here for 7 years, spent the next three at Lake Odessa, and served subsequent 3-year stints at both Lowell and Leslie before giving up his profession to become a Lansing insurance agent. Appleton died of a heart attack at the age of 47, according to Mrs. Mead’s letter.

Since Mr. Campbell closed the shop last year to go back to his oldjob in Battle Creek, Nashville for the first time in many, many years has been without a blacksmith.” The new owner, Dean H. Bennett, was described as “plenty husky for horse­ shoeing and he likes the work.” Bennett, the story added, was also experienced in all sorts of welding and general blacksmithing. The 1952 report also elaborated on information used in the recent “Memories” story, pointing out that “Jesse Campbell started blacksmithing in Nashville back in 1923 when he came here from Battle Creek and bought John Caley’s shop. After a year-and-a-half he sold out and went back to Battle Creek for nearly ten years. Then, in Sept 1933, he bought the shop on North Main Street from the late Jasper Deeds. Mr. Deeds had bought from Thomas E. Copland, who had bought from Humphrey Atchinson.” The 1952 story concluded with this interesting observation: ”At one time Nashville had five blacksmith shops and all of them were kept busy.” Additional “findings” (from items in the Nashville News’ popular “Turning Back the Pages” column) show that the village had a very significant blacksmithing background. When Henry Feighner, one of Nashville’s best known pioneers died in August 1902 at the age of 83 years, the News noted he had come to-Nashville in 1854 “when there was only one log house here, and the following year built the first frame dwelling in town, as well as erecting and opening the first blacksmith shop in the settlement.” Thus, in 1855 Feighner became the first of Nashville’s many smiths. Nelson Brumm, secretary-treasurer of the Nashville Lions Club, reports the recent White Cane campaign by the orgaization was a success despite a very rainy Saturday (day of the Vermontville Syrup Festival) for local volun­ teers to be on the street. He said special thanks go to Carl’s Market for providing warm, dry quarters for the Lions to solicit donations for the annual fund-raiser. The traditional White Cane event helps finance most of the Lions sight­ saving projects in Michigan, including the sightmobile, Leader Dogs for the Blind at Rochester, and Welcome Home for the Blind in Grand Rapids. Also, Nelson reminds readers that this is the time of year for launching another popular Lions Club project-the an­ nual community birthday calendar. This is certainly an item we all use and enjoy everyday throughout the year, and it provides a good measure of community sharing and caring. Let’s all support the Lions in their 1980 calendar drive.

Sewer program background offered by Nashville Council The Nashville Village Council has begun a. full fledged program to "inform and to listen’to Nashville residents on various aspects of the proposed wastewater system improvements. In order to more effectively inform" and listen to the village, thee apponm appointment of a vage, public information committee has been made. Lonny L. Kienutske was named, chairman of the committee. Other members include: Raymond- Hin­ ckley ;-Nelson Brumm; Bart Bracy; and. Tom Olson. According to Kienutske, the purpose of the in­ formation program is to provide village residents with complete information Expansion fund drive progresses for Hayes-Green-Bach Hosmtal . “Every one in Charlotte is giving” to Hayes-GreenBeach Memorial Hospital’s $1.5 million Expansion Fund, Charles according , to Patrick, director of the drive to finance a new wing. A total of $522,692 has already been pledged in 352 gifts from businesses and residents of Charlotte and r comthe neighboring munities of Bellevue, Mulliken, Olivet, Potterville, Sunfield, and Vermontville. We will probably break “W ground early in June,” Patrick said. By then, he expects, banks will be loaning the hospital money against a pledge total of over $1 million. Hospital officials have been discussing plans for the addition, which will increase hospital space by 50 percent, with the contracting firm of HBE Corp, of St. Louis. “We’re really ready to start construction,” said hospital administrator Darwin Finkbeiner. “We’re just waiting for a little time to go by for the fund drive to catch up.” The purpose purpose of of the the exexThe pansion is improving the quality and range of services offered, in line, with a tenyear master plan drawn up last year by the hospital staff. While the expansion will not add to the hospital’s 46 they will be beds,, redistributed to allow all patients either private or semi-private rooms. The master plan“would indicate a need for beds in the future, depending on the number of doctors we can attract to the hospital” and on state approval, said Finkbeiner. The two-story, 12,000square-foot addition will house the new departments of physical and respiratory therapy, outpatient and surgery, waiting rooms, new administrative offices, a state-required auxiliary power generator, and a new entry with lobby and gift shop. Reallocation of space in the main building will yield a new nursing station, a nursery, a new pharmacy, examination and bathing rooms, employee locker rooms, and a larger dish­ washing area.

Mrs. Carpenter, is an active member of the Maple v Valley, Eaton County, Michigan, and National Education Associations; the Michigan National Councils of Teachers of English; Delta Kappa Gamma; and on each decision reached by the present council as well as previous ones throughout the years since the project was first considered. The council has indicated their intent to schedule a bond referendum later -this year, perhaps in August. “We have to give everyone complete information so that they can vote as well in­ formed residents,” Kienutske said, “It is not our intention to attempt to sway anyone’s thinking, either for or against any portion of the project, but there is a lot at stake here, and we want to make sure all facts are brought up and everyone’s questions are answered.” The schedule for in­ formation activities includes newspaper articles, radio news coverage, the preparation of a fact sheet, at least one general public meeting and presentations to interested groups that are part of Nashville. With this being the first article, it is important to provide some background as to how Nashville has progressed to its current facilities. The first study on the existing wastewater system was conducted in 1961. The system was found to be inadequate, therefore a treatment plant was put into operation in 1964. In ,1968, the Michigan Department' of Natural Resources (DNR) issued new discharge limits which required the village to provide additional treatment by removing 80 percent of the phosphorus from the treated water (effluent) discharged from the plant to the Thornapple River. The DNR stated that the village was expected to embark upon a program which would result in the additional treatment facilities being in operation by ^December of 1972. The council submitted a “stipulation agreement” in which a schedule for the voluntary compliance with the new regulations was outlined. A preliminary plan for the expansion of the existing facilities was presented in 1970 and ap­ plication for grant assistance was filed with the State and Federal Water Quality Administration. The for application grant assistance has been renewed every year since that time. The grant is now administered under the Federal Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). In October of 1970, the regulations wSre changed again, and the village received notice that a higher level of treatment would be required because of the has been named the Olivet College .Outstanding Teacher. She has served the Women’s Club, Historical Society, Opera House committee,, community orchestra, Jaycettes, Maple Syrup Festival, March of Dimes, Eaton County Extension Club, Maple Valley Players, Albion College Alumni and many more. increased wqter quality standards for the Thor­ napple River. In addition to removing 80 percent of the phosphorus from the plant effluent, , it became necessary to provide more treatment for the removal of other nutrients or pollutants such as “BOD,” “Suspended Solids,” “PH,” and “Total Coliform Bacteria.” These additional requirements increased the cost of expanding the existing plant to the extent that the construction of a new lagoon and irrigation treatment system was recommended in 1972 as the most economical solution. Also in 1972, the village made application to Far­ mers Home Administration (FmHA) for grant funds to finance the necessary improvements to the wastewater system, as well as improvements to the water system. FmHA was only able to finance the water project that year, and the council voted to wait for -Federal EPA grant assistance on the wastewater system. In October 1972, the Federal Pollution Control Act (Public Law 92-500) was passed, which replaced all previous pollution control legislation. It took more than a year to develop the rules and regulations for administering the program. In 1973 President Nixon im­ pounded half the Federal .grant funds, and this program virtually stopped until the matter was resolved in the U.S. Supreme Court and the funds released. The first regulations on the new pollution control legislation were published in 1974, and the grant program was developed into a three step process that, is still currently in effect Step 1 is the facility plan or study, Step 2 is design, and Step 3 is construction. A separate grant ap­ plication is required for each “Step.” A Step 1 grant was received in 1976, and funds for Step 2 were applied for and granted in 1977. The design was completed in 1978 and application for con­ struction (Step 3) of the facilities were then filed. The Michigan DNR has warned small communities to proceed without delay if grant funds are received this year. Because after this year, the City of Detroit will require a large portion of Michigan’s total Federal grant allocation. Since Detroit is ranked first on the current priority list, it’s likely that they will use nearly all funds available in Michigan after 1980. The lagoon and irrigation treatment system proposed for the village qualifies as an “alternative” treatment method under EPA regulations published in 1978. As a result, the village is eligible to receive an additional 10 percent Federal grant for the treatment portion of the project. The. Nashville project is ranked number 55 in the state on th^ir priority list and is considered well within the range to receive a grant offer yet this spring. The nqxt article will discuss mainly the background on the development of the collection system for the village of Nashville. �TheMaple Volley News, Nashville, Wednesday.

A public hearing has been called to discuss other proposed uses of Federal Revenue Sharing Funds which had been allocated for the paving project after a March hearing. Trustee Ray Hinckley told the council Thursday that bids for the' parking lot project totaled $26,300. The village currently has $35,387 earmarked for the parking lot job, with most of the monies received from revenue sharing including some held over from last year’s appropriation. Hin­ ckley suggested using the excess funds toward paving Middle and Cleveland Streets from Lentz to Reeds. Other monies presently in the village coffers, plus the excess revenue sharing funds, would be sufficient to resurface both streets, bid at $18,700, he said. However, Trustee Lonny Kienutske proposed that sewer lines under both streets be repaired new before blacktopping is considered. Kienutske cited a recent engineering survey which indicated three underground leaks in the Middle Street line, and one on Cleveland. The public hearing, to reallocate the Federal Revenue Sharing Funds has Annual school election is June 11; 6 candidates vie to fill two seatsAt- the annual school election scheduled to be held Monday, June 11, the registered electors in the Maple Valley School District will be electing two mem­ bers to the board of education for four year terms plus voting upon a millage renewal proposal. Candidates for the two positions on the board of education include incumbent Wilbur Marsh, Virginia Fox, Carol Tobias, Eunice Cor­ nish, George Hubka, and Stanley W. Smith. The terms of office will begin July 1, 1979 and end on June 30,1983. ' The millage vote will be upon the renewal of ,the fourteen mills ($14.00 on each $1,000.00) oh state equalized valuation for a period of three years, 1979,1980, and 1981 for the purpose of providing ad- ditional funds for operating purposes. This renewal would be to replace the millage that expired with the December 1978 levy. It is necessary that the millage be renewed enabling the school district to continue with the same basic educational program during the 1979-80 school year. Application forms for absentee ballots may be obtained by contacting the Superintendent’s office at 11090 Nashville Highway, Vermontville, Michigan 49096. The telephone number is 852-9699. In the Nashville area voters will be voting in the kindergarten room at the Maplewood Elementary School. The polls will be open from 7:00 a.m. until 8:00 p.m., Monday, June 11, 1979.

Smith of The Hecker Agency explain proposed alter­ natives to the villages’s current employee pension plan. Two weeks ago, Smith and Charles White, representative of Time Insurance Company, appeared before the council to suggest terminating the present plan in favor of Individual Individual Retirement Accounts. The high turnover rate in village employees has been cited as one reason for switching to the IRA plan which Smith called simpler and “more flexible” for employees. “The IRA plan can be tailor-made to your own situation,” Smith advised village officials.

Trustee Kienutske reported on the proposed village sewer project in which state and federal grants are being sought to pay 80 percent of the $3.4 million cost. Kienutske explained that if collection lines are extended into areas of the village not eligible for grants, the added cost to the toal project would average $12,000 per home, for those dwellings located in the ineligible sections. Grant eligibility is based on housing density of each street.

(Maple Volley News photo) hard working, devoted �The Maple Valley News, Nashville, Wednesday, May30,1979— Page 2 Nashville News Bargains, as well as excitement, will be offered Nashville shoppers, June 9th, when the Pony Express gallops through town. The local Chamber of Commerce is planning a “western theme’’ Saturday sidewalk sale to coincide with the annual ride, a fund-raising event sponsored by sheriff’s posses from throughout Michigan. Horseback'riders in the Pony Express will converge on Nashville between 8:30 and 9:00 a.m. Saturday morning, carrying bundles of commemoratively-stamped mail enroute to Hastings. Jerry Brumm, head of the Chamber’s Retail Committee, reports that all local merchants will be participating in the sidewalk sales and will offer a wide variety of goods. Jerry an­ ticipates shoppers will find some “tremendouslruys” during the event. In addition to the activity created by the Pony Express, there will be the added attraction of regional slowpitch softball tournaments staged in our village that weekend. The influx of players and spectators should begin Friday evening when games get underway. The competition will continue throughout Saturday and Sunday at both the Fuller Street and Maple Valley High School fields. Incidentally, persons wishing to send a letter via the Pony Express may obtain commemorative letterhead and en­ velopes at Security National Bank. Each addressed letter, with first-class postage affixed, should be enclosed in an outer plain envelope in which the sender may place a donation to the posse. Lettters may be given in advance to a posse member, taken to the Barry County Sherrifs Dept., or handed to a rider enroute. At the termination point, all mail will be forwarded to its final destination through the U. S. Postal system. George B. Dean, 95 years young, was slated to be an honored entrant in Hastings’ Memorial Day parade. At this writing, arrangements were being made to have George ride on a float sponsored by the Barry County Commission on Aging, as the oldest representative of the Nashville COA Nutrition Site. He was to share the spotlight with a Hastings gentleman of nearly the same age, representing the Hastings COA Site. George celebrated his 95th birthday May 1st.

Harold Christiansen, head of the Civic Improvement Committee, placed the canisters and is also aiding Irene in the solicitation drive, all part of an on-going program by the Chamber to update Nashville’s Christmas street decor. Each lampost decoration, with shipping charges, currently costs nearly $200.

A second letter from the People’s Republic of China reached Nashville last week when the Clarence Shaws again heard from their friend, Hsin-wen Chen, who knew the Shaws as “Mom and Pop” some 30 years ago. Chen, a guest in the Shaw home for a 1947 Christmas dinner while he was a student of engineering at the University of Michigan, was first able to get a letter out to the Shaws last January, following USA recognition of the PRC. After 13 years of silence, the Shaws were delighted to learn in January that their young Chinese friend, now 57, was alive and well. Chen had been a frequent visitor in Nashville after that first holiday dinner, calling on the Shaws several times in the early 1950’s until he returned to his homeland. In last week’s letter, Chen apologized for his English, which he said was “getting rusty”. He wrote he had not had much chance to get in touch with Western friends for 26 years and “there is no way to brush up my English since my return from the U.S.” (However, his writing was very precise and clear in a print Continued on page 11 What a difference a Bilco Door stakes!

The discipline committee includes board members Russell Geary, Wayne Cogswell, and Arlene DeCamp. Further in­ formation relative to the student handbook may be obtained by contacting one of the committee members or building administrators. All students in the Jr-Sr. High School will receive a copy of the student handbook when enrolling in school next fall. In relationship to the suspension section in the student handbook, the board members approved a new classroom operation for next fall which will be called the in-school suspension room. T This room will operate with one teacher in charge of the classroom for the entire day. Students that have been suspended will be sent to the in-school suspension room to complete their assignments under the direction of the in­ school suspension room teacher. One of the main objectives of this room is to keep the students in school and enable the students to continue with their classrooom assignments. Another move will be to assign students with detention to this room in­ stead of having the student spend time in the high school office. Through the addition of the in-school suspension room along with the addition of a special education L.D. Consultant, it is necessary to purchase a relocatable classroom. This classroom will be purchased from McFadden Corporation on a lease purchase program. The list price of the unit with a dividing partition is $23,345 including the installation cost by the company. The board members ap­ proved the Webster McGraw Hill Science series for grades 4,5, and 6. During this school year a committee of teachers and elementary building administrators reviewed various textbooks and related materials in­ eluding a review of the reading level. General approval was given a revised layout of the office area at the Jr-Sr. High School. This is being done in an attempt to make better usage of the space available along with an attempt to eliminate some of the flow of traffic within the main office area resulting in many in­ terruptions. This will not involve any major structural changes, and the main thing will be that the offices will be in different location. Upon the recommendation of Title I reading program director Bill Christensen, approval was given the employment of three additional aides for the sum­ merreadingprogram. These new aides include Beth Ann Beebe, Rane Ferrier, and Saelely eC,arter. The board board. held an open hearing at the request of the parents regarding general suspension from extra curricular activities in­ volving students Carol Appelman and Julie Barlow. This action had been taken earlier by Assistant Prin­ cipal Larry Lenz regarding student actions at the prom not in compliance with the student handbook. A great deal of the information presented at the hearing was related to a discrepancy that has existed between the training rules listed in the student handbook and behavior standards listed under the cheerleader constitution. It was the decision of the majority of the board members to follow the proposal made by Larry Lenz to . go by the student handbook and suspend Julie Barlow for fifty percent of the softball games, and to suspend Carol Appleman as a cheerleader for the first four varsity football games next fall. Russell Geary and Robert Dormer voted no. Action Ads SEPTIC TANK CLEANING: Approved by Michigan Department of Health. Call Menzo Howe, Charlotte. Ph. 543-0173. (tfn) HELP! WORK - WANTED!

Nashville, Wednesday May 30. 1979 — Page 5 Nashville’s wastewater collection system (Note: The following article is a continuation of the efforts to provide background information prepared by Nashville’s Public Information Com­ mittee.

A preliminary study conducted in 1961 included a general plan for the extension of the wastewaterr collection system based on the growth within the village and funds available. A more detailed study was con­ ducted in 1967 and presented an analysis of the system’s possible expansion into different parts of the village.

As told in our first article, the Federal Pollution Control Act (PUBLIC LAW 92-500) was passed in late 1972. The first regulations appeared in early 1974 and they indicated in part how collection systems would be eligible for grants. Until 1974, only interceptor or main sewers were eligible to receive grant funds. But with the development of these new regulations, reuaons “collector coecor sewers” were also included for grant eligibility “Two Thirds Ruleunder ”. Trhias rule stipulated that a grant for collection sewers could be obtained if “two thirds” of the lots on a given street were developed prior to i October, 1972 - the date the Public Law was passed. The reasoning given for this cut­ off date was that grants were intended to help in solving pollution problems that existed prior to October 1972. All pollution problems that occurred after the date were the responsibility of each local oca community. communy. Therefore, ereore, grant funds were only available for streets that were substantially developed - or two-thirds developed - prior to 1972. The review in each com­ munity was then made on a street-by-street basis for determining which collector sewers would be eligible. In the last couple of years, the Federal EPA position on grant eligibility of collector sewers has become much more rigid.

Construct All or Part - a Decision: The existing sewer system and proposed expansion areas, considered to have sufficient development now were not “two thirds” developed seven years ago in 1972. These areas include the east ends of Reed, Gregg and Sherman Streets. Also the west ends of Casgrove Road and Center Street in Fuller Heights. As - a result, the village is not eligible to receive grants for these sewers. There are different ways to approach the construction of grant ineligible sewers: A possibility would be to construct only those portions of the collector sewers that are eligible for grants and postpone construction of portions that must be paid entirely with local funds. At a future time, if those ineligible sewers are con­ structed, an alternative plan of paying- for those sewers would have to be found. The benefit however, could be extended to those residents by the economies of con­ structing all the system in one project, using the same financing procedures, at­ torney fee, bonding procedures and the potential of lower contractors’ bids on an entire system.

Bring badges if you have them, and flowers,” advised a notice published in the Nashville News near Decoration Day 1901. The item concluded with the following admonishment to lodge members, “Let us not be outdone by the Odd Fellows (IOOF) who put on such a fine memorial service last Sunday.” Over the years, Nash­ ville’s patriotic observance of Memorial Day seems to have followed hallowed tradition. In May 1899, the News had begun and ended the reported: “The Rev. R. E. past summer.

In this 1909 photo, he poses with daughter, Luna, at their Francis Street home (now Lawrence Maurer residence). of just how many Civil War veterans were available to participate in the village’s 1901 Memorial Day parade but reports thirty years later quite accurately pinpoint Nashville’s Civil War veterans, living and dead. “Barry County Civil War veterans were honored by the Hastings Lions Club Monday when the club tendered them a dinner and program in the American Legion Hall,” informed the News in a Memorial Day 1931 account. “Gideon Kennedy of Nashville, 93 years old, was the oldest veteran present and George 0. Dean of Nashville probably carried off another record for a youngster of 89. He drove his own car and carried another veteran with him, ” noted the writer. “Other veterans from here who attended were Richard Wickwire, 89, William Bivens, Jacob Haner, Charles Cruso, and Frank Rowley, Rowley,” continued the report, adding, “Capt L. B. Potter and M. B.Brooks were unable to attend.” The same Memorial Day 1931, members of the American Legion “Placed flags on the graves of exactly 110 departed Civil War veterans in Lakewview Cemetery,” according to the News, “in addition to marking the graves of ten World War veterans.” (At that that early early date, date, it it was was still still “the” World War and the present-day designation of World War I was unnecessary). “It is believed there are several veterans of the Cuban War buried in Lakeview, aevew, aso, also, an and thee Legion will attempt to ascertain the names and details before next Memorial Day,” the News item concluded. Patriotic parades, memorial - services, and decoration of graves did not constitute the whole of Nash­ ville’s early observance of the holiday, however. Memorial Day baseball games became a long­ standing village tradition. From the News, 1902: “Nashville beat the vaunted Kelly team 13-12 in an ex­ citing Memorial Day ball game at the driving park. Winning pitcher was Albert Beard, who pitched no-hit ball for five innings but weakened in the sixth.” The driving park was located along the presentday Kellogg Street and Albert Beard was, in those early years, an employee of the News office. Four years later, a new playing field had been build near the Thornapple River southwest of the Main Street stores. “A baseball game between Woodland’s fast team and •the local team has been arranged for Decoration Day onNashville’snew grounds,” recorded the News in May 1906. Twenty-some years later the holiday baseball tradition still continued, combined with another Decoration Day event “Cole and Wade’s resort at Thomapple Lake will officially open for the season on Memorial Day. A baseball game is i scheduled hdl d for f the th afternoon between the Lake House nine and Albion House nine Albione College,” advised a May 1927 News issue. Other social events highlighted the holiday and one beckoned local residents to trip the light fantastic. “The Thornapp Thornapple Lake Pavillion n will open Decoration Day with a big dance in the evening, to the music of Wit Thomas’ or­ chestra,” observed the News in May 1931. In addition to solemn ceremony and lively en­ tertainment, the holiday also .touched Nashville’s prac­ tical side. From the News, May 1928: “The Chamber of Commerce met Monday evening and spent most of their business session debating the question of closing on Memorial Day. It finally was decided that all stores would close at 10:30 a.m. but some merchants have announced they will not even open up in the mor­ ning.” Perhaps Nashville’s abiding ritual of the traditional holiday is best summed up in this 1932 News report: “Memorial Sunday and Memorial Day proper brought a nationwide tribute to our soldier dead and other loved ones, expressed in sermons and music, church services and patriotic visits to programs, cemeteries with a profusion of flowers, loving thoughts and quiet prayerful ob- • NOTICE • There will be a Public Hearing June 14, 1979 at Castleton Township Hall at 6:00 p.m. for the purpose of reappropriating the 10th entitlement period of Federal Revenue Sharing..

Exhibits, visitor’operated displays, and films in the Science Hall demonstrated the extraordinary range of contemporary applications of glass, as well as its oftencontradictory properties. They watched a lampworker hand-fashion smalll glass animals over an open flame.

Chen also has two brothers and two sisters who teach at universities. Another brother is an engineer and another sister, a technician. At the conclusion of his 2-page message, Chen noted “It took me whole day to write this letter due to my poor English.” Expressive sad and happy faces appeared throughout Chen’s letter, drawn to reflect his feelings on each thought, and a family photo was enclosed in the envelope. Tuesday callers at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Vem (Fern) Hawblitz of Nashville were Mr. and Mrs. Erwin Bruce of Battle Creek. Mrs. Bruce and Mrs. Hawblitz are sisters.

Congratulations also go to Mr. and Mrs. Brian (Belinda) Elliston on the birth of a son Thursday, May 24, at Pennock. Their baby, who weighed in at 8 lbs. 7 0z., was named Ryan Allen. 8A7n interesting Jetter received last week from Kenneth A. Meade, a Nashville native now of Franklin, has added another footnote to a recent “Memories” story on the 1908-09 NHS faculty. One of the seniors pictured in an ac­ companying photo was Orlan Boston whose older sister, Flora, was a local teacher. She is now deceased, as we noted last week, but Meade wrote that he had seen Orlan a few years ago in Detroit when he was inducted as a Fellow (the highest grade of membership) in the Engineering Society of Detroit. Meade was elected a Fellow of the Society in the charter group some years ago and was President of the Society in the charter group some years ago and was President of the Society in 1952-53. He wrote, “Orlan and I had fun reminiscing about Nashville whenever we got together.” Meade had first become acquainted with Boston while doing graduate work at the University of Michingan where Boston was a professor in the College of Engineering. Meade notes in his recent letter that Orlan Boston is listed in the 1978-79 U. jjf M. Catalog as Professor Emeritus of Mechanical Engineering and Production Engineering. Incidentally, Kenneth A. Meade will soon be visiting Nashville. He will be serving as toastmaster at the upcoming Alumni Banquet, June 2. Also on the subject of “Memories”: we neglected to give credit last week for the old photos used in the “round barn” story. Many thanks to Mr. and Mrs. Charles Liebhauser who kindly loaned the early photos for publication. A meeting of the Pastor Parish Relations Committee of the Nashville United Methodist Church is set for 7:30 p.m. Wednesday, May 30, at'the parsonage. Mrs. Edith Flannery of Nashville accompanied her sister, Mrs. Vere Segur of Battle Creek, to Rose City recently to call on Mrs. Segur’s_ son and family, the Albert .Segurs, (Rose City is the village that “traded” mayors with Ver­ montville last Monday in Michigan’s traditional Mayor Exchange Day.) Sunday, Mrs. Flannery called on her daughter, Mrs. Norvelle MacKenzie of Lansing, and had the opportunity to see her grandson, Scott MacKenzie, who received his discharge from the U. S. Navy in early May. He had had been been stationed stationed in in Virginia. Virginia. After After aa brief brief visit visit home, home, Scott was enroute to Chicago where he has accepted employment as a hospital equipment technician. The Fred Acketts of Nashville recently entertained v a number ofyoung visitors-29 students from the fifth grade at Nashville’s Kellogg School. The children enjoyed viewing Fred’s fantastic rock collection and, later, he received several charming letters from the youngsters thanking him for the interesting tour. Many wrote of the knowledge they had gained from the exhibit and some even cited their special favorite among Fred’s collection; in some cases, the children even recalled the scientific name of the specific rock. It was apparently a very enjoyable learning ex­ perience for the youngsters and, needless to say, Fred is enjoying their letters. Mrs. Earl (Clara) Pennock of Nashville assumed duties last week as the new site supervisor at Nashville’s Senior Citizen’s Nutrition Site. She replaces Mrs. Deidra Sprinkle who recently resigned the post she had held the past nine months. Youngsters from Mrs. Claudette Edly’s first grade class at Fuller Street Elementary School visited Putnam Park last Wednesday and also toured Putnam Public Library. The children, accompanied by their teacher and Mrs. Laurie Kipp, made the long jaunt from the school to the park, and back, on foot. Mrs. Ruth Brown, of the Putnam Library staff, guided the children through the building. Student tours of the library are being encouraged andarranged by Nash­ ville’s new Friends of the Library in an effort to acquaint youngsters with facilities available to them. FOL organizations have found that spending about an hour touring the library helps to alleviate the children’s natural fear of the unknown and has resulted in increased library usage by them. This Wednesday, first graders in Mrs. Kathy Vandermolen’s class at Fuller School will have an op­ portunity to enjoy the same excursion. The Nashville Garden Club will meet at 2:00 p.m. Tuesday, June 5, at the home of Mrs. Clifford (Evelyn) Mason on Lawrence Hwy. Entertainment will be slides taken by the Masons on some of their recent travels, which iincluded a tour of the Holy Land. Garden studies of the month will be the flower, pansy; vegetable, rhubarb; and weed, cheese weed. Tea committee for the event will be Mrs. Gladys Miller and Mrs. Edith Jones. Despite a chilly rain last Thursday evening, 35 members of the Nashville Senior Citizen’s Site group enjoyed an outing to Cornwell’s Turkey Farm near Marshall for dinner. The Marshall area received more precipitation than Nashville did that day. Transportation for the excursion was furnished by a bus provided by the Nashville Baptist Church. Mrs. Bertha Becker of Nashville, recently confined for a week-long stay at Hayes-Green-Beach Hospital in Charlotte, was able to return home last Tuesday. Mrs. Beckerr underwent a series of tests at the hospital but is presently feeling well and able to be out. An Alaskan travelogue, sponsored by Nashville’s newlyformed Friends of the Library, was a tremendous success when it was presented last Monday evening. Ted and Orpha Stiffler of Mulleken showed the slides at Castleton Township Hall. Laurie Kipp, secretary of the FOL, reports the presentation tp resentation was well-attended. The FOL extends special thanks to Pat Cummings and Ardyce Robotham, who conducted a children’s story hour at Putnam Library in conjunction with the slide program so the little ones could be entertained while parents and older family members enjoyed the show. Sincere appreciation is also expressed to Barb Sandbrook for furnishing refreshments for Monday’s event. Tentative plans for another “Family Night” in June are currency being drawn up by the FOL. More detailss on the date and program will be furnished later. In another Friends, of the Library project, Merry Lee Ossenheimer of Nashville will head a summer reading program for youngsters, to be held Tuesday mornings at Putnam Public Library. Dates for the story hour sessions have been set for the last three weeks of July and the first week ofAugust,It was decided at last week’s FOL business meeting. Good news received from Adolph Douse at Lakeland, Florida, that he is recovering well from recent surgery there and expects to soon be seeing his Nashville friends.

Box A, Nashville, Michigan Phone 945-9554 (Hastings) The Maple Valley News, Vol. 106, No. 2 - Wednesday, June 6, 1979 Sun shines down as 121 M.V. seniors receive diplomas In a refreshing departure from traditional gym­ nasium-staged graduation exercises, Maple Valley’s Class of 1979 received diplomas Saturday under sunny skies at Sandyland Park in Nashville. An estimated 2,800 spectators filled bleachers in the open air arena, a site favored by seniors when ceremony plans were made earlier this year. “Your diploma is the key to the outside world,” Shelly Wolff told classmates during her valedictorian’s address. She said Saturday was ’’the beginning of new hopes and new dreams” but the end of shared times, now to become cherished memories. Diplomas were awarded to 121 seniors, with the presentation by School Board of Education mem­ bers Mrs. Arlene De Camp and Elam Rockwell. In­ cluded in the graduating class were five members of Maple Valley’s baseball team who were unable to attend the afternoon com­ mencement because they were involved in district toournament play at Ver­ montville. A victory over Portland St. Patrick earlier in the day necessitated a second game against Lan­ sing Catholic Central, overlapping the commencement schedule. (The team lost the second game but Maple Valley’s girls’ softball team won their district championship in Saturday competition and arrived at Sandyland in time to participate in graduation ceremonies.) The Maple Valley Band, under the direction of Jef­ fery Petrosky, performed the processional and recessional for the graduates, and also en­ tertained with the selection, “Tomorrow”, from the musical “Annie.” The Maple Valley Choir rendered, “The End or the Beginning,” with the vocal performance under the direction of Mrs. Patricia Reinbold. Rev. Robert Taylor of the Nashville Assembly of God Church offered the in­ vocation and benediction at Saturday’s ceremonies. Karen Christensen delivered the salutatorian’s address; and Superintendant Of Schools Carroll Wolff welcomed the audience and introduced the principal speaker, Dr. Howard Hickey, an administrative professor at Michigan State University, whom Wolff called “one of the out­ standing leaders in education in the United States.” School Principal Burr Hartenburg presented the Nash to meet with residents State Representative Ernie Nash (R-Dimondale) will travel to five different locations in his district next week to listen to his con­ stituents’ concerns. Nash will be at the Ver­ montville Public Library Monday at 1 p.m. Thursday, he will be at Portland City Hall at 9 a.m. and at the Grand Ledge City Hall at 11 a.m. Nash will travel to Sunfield and Mulliken Friday. He will be available to meet with citizens at the Sunfield Village Hall at 9 a.m. and at the Mulliken Fire Barn at 11 a.m. “I hope many of my constituents take the time to come to one of the locations I will be at next week,” Nash said. “I’ve scheduled these hours and locations to make it convenient for as many people as possible to see me about anything that might concern them.” Class of 1979, and, with members of the junior class assisting, the graduates individually crossed Sandyland’s stage to receive their diplomas. Girls were gowned in white while the boys’ robes were blue, representing Maple Valley school colors. Class colors of burgundy and gold were ‘mortarboard caps. The seniors motto, “We will walk on our own feet; we will work with our own hands; we will speak our own minds,“ seemed to exemplify the spirit of the Class of 1979, culminating 13 years of academic achievement with traditional commencement services intermingled with white and blue tassles on the graduates Conf pg. 10 — Millage and board member election June 11 The registered electors in the Maple Valley School District will be voting upon the renewal of fourteen mills for operational purposes plus electing two members to the board of education. Election day is Monday, June 11. This millage request will be for a period of three years 1979 through 1981. It is necessary that the millage be renewed if the school district is going to be able to continue the present education program along with making general curriculum improvements. The fourteen mills expired with the 1978 levy. There are six candidates for the two positions on the board of education. The candidates include in­ cumbent Wilbur Marsh, Virginia Fox, Eunice Cor­ nish, Carol Tobias, Stanley Smith, and George Hubka. The elected board members will take office July 1 and serve a four year term.

Indefinite Nelson Brumm selected “Lion of the Month by Susan Hinckley Nelson Brumm of 313 Center Court, Nashville, recently re-elected secretary-treasurer of the Nashville Lions Club, has been selected as “Lion of the Month’1 for May. Nelson is the “grand Lion” of the local club, having joined the organization in 1944 just two years short of the original charter date. He has recorded perfect at­ tendance at Lion meetings all but three of 35 years he has been a Lion, and had introduced 27 new members into the club, and says “it’s great to be a Lion.” Nelson has also held many offices, at both local and district level, during his long span as a Nashville Lion. He served as local club president for the 1948-49 year, and again for the 1962­ 63 year. He was secretary­ treasurer of the organization from 1955 to 1958, then elected to the post again in 1973, has retained it since that time and was just re­ elected to the office in May for the upcoming 1979-80 year, and again in the 1977-78 year. He has also been the district representative for the Michigan White Cane Committee for the 1978-79 year, and was recently chosen as district representative to the state CARE committee for 1979-80. Nelson’s longtime interest in charitable and service work is reflected in his volunteer efforts on behalf of the American Cancer Society, United Way, and the March of Dimes. Community endeavors include being a member of the Boy Scout Committee and serving 10 years on the Nashville Maple Syrup Association. He is a member of the Nashville United Methodist Church. A Nashville native, Nelson graduated from NHS in the Class of 1924. He then enrolled at Michigan State College (now MSU), majored in agriculture, and graduated in 1928 with a bachelor of science degree. Following graduation from college, Nelson was em­ ployed by the State of Michigan as a bee inspector for two years. Later, he became manager of A. & P. Grocery Stores in Greenville and Eaton Rapids for a year. Returning to Nashville to farm north of the village for the next 15 years, Nelson later moved into town to operate a dairy route bet­ ween Nashville and Ver­ montville. Closing his Washington Street dairy operation after 15 years service, Nelson and his wife opened a family clothing store on Nashville’s Main Street which they operated for several years proceeding retirement. Nelson and the former Geneva De Vine of Nashville will celebrate 51 years of marriage on June 23. They have three daughters, Mrs. Annella Parker of Saline, Michigan; Mrs. Shirlie Augustine and Mrs. Janice Johnson, both of Nashville; eight grandchildren and two great-grandchildren. In his spare time, which is For Nelson Brumm, being a "Lion" is "helping people less fortunate...helping people to be an active part of society, both locally and worldwide...and helpinq my community to be a better place to live. (Maple Valley News photo) limited for such an active “retired” person, Nelson enjoys collecting driftwood and small stones. He labels himself not a “rock hound” but a “pebble puppy.” A rather out-of-the or­ dinary hobby also interests Nelson. He collects paper bags from department and variety stores and tobacco shops from around the world. The United States, Canada, and several foreign countries are represented in his collection. “This is something a fellow does when he has nothing better to do,” comments Nelson about his sack collecting. Gardening is also high on Nelson’s list of enjoyable activities.

Nisse The past Memorial Day Celebration held at our Maplewood Cemetery was one of the most moving and impressive ceremonies I’ve had the pleasure of at­ tending. Lead by Jack Rathburn, he introduced our speaker Rev. Paul Boger of the Ver­ montville Bible Church. He took us back through the years, to follow old trail from our small settlement east of the cemetery to the present day in such a manner that your very .senses saw, smelt the good things and knew the terrible struggles of their daily living. We were urged to stay a while and look around and talk to the people who we did honor on that day. You began to get the flavor of the occasion. Rev. Boger made us all aware of the need to protect the beautiful things of nature that God has given us and to appreciate the time in which we live and to remember who made it possible for us to be here in this place this day. It is our land, our right to protect and care for, our responsibility. Any one who did not feel humble that moment needs to take a second look around. Our Communities thank all those who participated. Service men, Veterans, John Hokanson who marched1 further than he should have, Scouts, and a special thanks to our Rev. Boger for a beautiful and moving tribute to our honored dead and words of solace to the living. Did you know that Vermontiville lost the first soldier in the Civil War? A lad of 19 years, Barbour by name, with fever, also the last man Rogers. That Private Demmers and Childs died 2 weeks apart, Oct. 1918 were both in Co A10 Battalion. That a spy Doctor and Nurse administered shots for going over seas and it took most of the men in the 10 Battalion to their deaths before they had the chance to leave the country? That the doctor and Nurse were caught trying to head West. The above I learned from Esther Shepard, our town historian. I can hardly wait for her book. Wish we could get some of her notes on tape. It would be most in­ formative and interesting. I’m going to encourage her to write a little story each week for our paper. I do believe we all would enjoy her sharing these ex­ periences of our forfathers with us.

Francis, whose topic bore the rather curious title, “Experiences of the Newlymarried Man.” Subsequent discourses were presented that evening by Miss Lida Feighner speaking on “America’s Patti”; S. Wilbert Smith on “Subduing the Bike”; Miss Lois Marshall on “Women”; and Ward Gribben on “The World’s Fair.” Selected music was furnished by Miss Katherine Dickinson while, later, Mrs. Mabel Bell and Miss Lida Feighner favored diners with a rendition of “Where Life is Brightest.” Saratoga Veal and potatoes highlighted the menu at that first NHS Alumni Banquet.

Red and blupe crepe paper tablecloths; napkins folded into cocked hats with water glass crowns; red, white and blue programs, together with showy boquets of red peonies, white spirea and blue honeysuckle, helped carry out the Washinton idea, the News account detailed, adding “The delicious dinner was prepared by the Rebekahs and served by the junior girls dressed in white dresses trimmed in red and blue.” Decorating motifs, based on a theme, were the vogue for banquets in that era. After the 1936 W. K. Kellogg expansion added a spacious new gymnasium to the high school, Alumni Banquets were staged there with the junior class preparing and serving the food under direction of their class advisor. During World War II, the banquets were temporarily i inn suspended but only four were missed in that period. Today, classmates still gather for the traditional reunion, now held annually at the Maple Valley High School, to once again dine together as they share happy memories of the past.

Scott Perkins, class president, responded for his classmates, saying he hoped they would “become faithful participants ts in future alumni banquets.” Saturday’s event was the 16th annual banquet of the Maple Valley Alumni Association, formed in 1964 after consolidation of the Nashville and Vermontville Public School systems combined the two alumni associations. Special seating and recognition at the banquet was extended to both the 50-year and the 40­ year graduates from both schools. Present were 17 graduates from 1929 and twelve from 1939.

SPECIALS £SS5.m LUMINIZING «V■ A< moqn ,flts Sixth grade students in Mr. Slag’s room at Kellogg Elementary School in Nash­ ville discovered they could become “playwrights” in their own right by applying a little imagination and creative writing. Not only did the students write plays, but many of them also had an opportunity to perform in their very own productions on stage. In the accompanying photos, students are shown as they " portray the characters in “The 25th Century” written by classmates Sarah Curtis and Lynette Williams. The play begins on a bright sunny morning on a beach in Miami as two 13-year-olds search the sands for seashells, but instead find a mysterious lamp which ends up to be a magic lamp with its own genie. As genie’s are known to do, the genie in the story granted the girls three wishes and they end up taking a journey to the future via a “time machine” to the 25th Cen­ tury. When they arrive at their destination they discover that in the 25th Century, most of the land has been devasted by a series of Does what the sun could do! The family of Florence Bulling would like to express our thanks to friends and' relatives for their thoughtfulness during our time of sorrow. For the flowers, cards, food and contributions to the Heart Fund. Our special thanks to Mr. & Mrs. Floyd Duits, Mrs’ George Johnson, Mrs. Hazel • Brown, Mrs. Reva Johnson and the L. C. A.

The two girls and the genie soon meet two of the young survivers and urge them to come back to the “past” with them. However, the offer is declined because the survivors feel “this is where we belong.” The play concludes with the kind gesture of the benefactors of the lamp who give, their “last wish” to the survivors, saying, “I think our last wish should be given for the best that could ever happen for Melinda and Bambi.” An unusual play, featured in a photo, was written by Scott Visger and is a oneman show. In the production, Scott portrays all four characters in the play which relates around the ex­ periences in dealing with “The Unfair Teacher” as the play was titled. Scott Visger was the star and author of a play called The Unfair Teacher" in which he portrayed the roles of all four characters. mm 170 New 1979 Cars & Trucks On Our Lot!

Where the gulls play the games and the ocean roars and roars. High tide is the time, the beach-is the place Where you and all the waves-will have a jolly race. The beach is the place to be all by yourself, Or you can be with a giant, Or you can be with an elf. High tide is the time when the sun is most beautifulAnd if you have some minnows, you can feed a merry gull. .s Bunny, bunny, bunny. You are so soft and sweet, Your tail is short and puffy Your fur is brown and fluffy. You run around at night, When there’s no one in sight. For a hunter might shoot you, To put you in his stew. For all your INSURANCE NEEDS See or Call... When you’re there at High tidedon’t weep or don’t you cry. When the waves are roaring Everything will be all right. TEDDY by Tom Leinhart He makes such a fuss as we climb down from the bus. While I’m getting the mail he is wagging his tail as he follows along beside us. "What's In A Name?" These students show "what's in a name" by illustrating works of poetry they wrote themselves as a project in Miss Vicki Polanski's sixth grade class at Kellogg School. Displaying samples of some of the drawings in the class are (front) Brenda Kirk, Lynna Cousins, Brice Tobias and (back row) Todd Benton, Doreen Cook, Tracy Spillane, and Kent Hamilton. Arranging words with specific meaning, sound, and rhythin stirred the imaginations of sixth grade students in the classrooms of Mr. Slag, Miss Polanski, and Mrs. Briggs when they embarked on an adventure of writing poetry recently. The results of their efforts were quite creative and interesting. The following are samples of poetic writings from each room: PEOPLE by Kim Roush You see people every day as you’re walking along your way. Some may be tall or small And some may be funny Glad or mad Sad or bad People are people. RED by Sheila Staskus A hawk soars and cries, looking. It soars onward and upward, looking, Always looking. Pink is a color that tickles your nose Pink is the color of a new blooming rose, Pink is a color so tender and soft, Pink is a color of the rainbow when it shows, Pink is your cheeks when you come in from the cold, Pink is a color that squirms through your toes, Pink is Easter, the inside of a rabbit’s ear, Pink is the color of a baby so soft and dear, Pink is a color that lets you know friendship is near. I once had a friend that was true. I always could depend on her and tell secrets too We did share so much together. See our complete line of 1979 tractors — 10 to 19.9 hp. Each has cushioned seat and roomy footrests for operating comfort. Color-coded controls for operating ease. Seven models to choose from. Pick variable-speed or hydrostatic transmission; manual, electric or hydraulic lift. Wide range of implements available. See us today for a test drive. Some times happy, sometimes sad. But now all has turned bad. All things I told her are now told to another. All the good times are now shared with some other. We play no more games. And you know— I find really I was to blame. COLOR RED by Stephanie Walliczek Red Red Red Red Red is a fire that licks the sky. is the color of a blood shot eye. is the color of anger. is the color of love. is the color of death in a flood.

Each Memorial Day, local firemen place a special flag at the gravesite of each deceased member like the one shown in this photo att the grave of James Hummel, a firefighter who served with the Nashville Department for over 50 years.

The disease is often fatal to horses. Initially, it may cause hyperactivity in the animals, followed by ab­ normal drowsiness, tremors, lack of coordination, and loss of weight. The animal may chew excessively, have difficulty swallowing and show impaired vision, reduced reflexes and irregular gait. There is no treatment for infected animals. VIRGINIA FOX Candidate For . . .

(Maple Valley News photos) an advantage of a property tax (ad-valorem) is the fact that the tax amount is deductible from the property owner’s Federal and State income taxes. On the other hand, a millage tax is spread on each property in the village, regardless of whether the direct benefit is received or not by the project. Special Assissment BondsThis type of issue is frequently used in financing public works improvements. A disadvantage of a special assessment is the fact that it is looked upon as a property improvement cost and is not deductible from Federal or State income taxes. However, there are some advantages. Only properties receiving the improvements receive an assessment, which can be paid over a period of several years. In Michigan, some senior citizens stand to benefit from a state “revolving fund” which permits those who qualify to defer the annual payments on their special assessment until such time as the title to the property is transferred to another property owner.

She had worked in the publication department there, and had been with DLSC over 16 years. A dinner, with 85 present, at the House of Ing in Battle Creek was given by Elizabeth’s co-workers in her honor. Without a doubt, the person traveling the farthest distance to attend Maple Valley’s graduation had to be Miss Magali Rosales who came from Barranquilla, Columbia-via a stop in Miami-to watch her neice, Monica Denyer, graduate with the Class of 1979. Monica has been a 6-month exchange student at MVHS, residing with Mr. and Mrs. John Bitgood of Nashville.

Five foreign exchange students were included 'in Maple Valley’s 1979 graduating class. Receiving diplomas, in addition to Monica Denyer, were Jon Aa and Paul Baltus, both of the Netherlands; Marcelo DelPai of Brazil; and Emi Yamaguchi of Japan.

Graduation activities, open houses, and alumni reunions kept many Nashville folks busy the first weekend in June. Receptions throughout our area feted recent graduates. The weather was perfect, remaining sunny and warm for weekend festivities honoring the Class of 1979. Last Wednesday was an especially happy day for local youngsters as they began their summer vacation from school. An unusual amount of joyous noise, heard throughout the village, heralded the end of the school year.

Father Abdoo, whose Diocese is based in New Jersey, recently returned from a 5-year stint as a schoolteacher at a mission in Kenya, Africa. He is currently on temporary assignment in the USA, but expects to be sent to a South American mission in the near future. A recent Battle Creek death of local note was that of Ar­ thur Shaffer, who passed away May 29 at the age of 69. He was a Nashville native and lived near the Quailtrap School south of Nashville, until leaving the area at age 16. Arthur was a brother to the late Maude Shaffer Ackett of Nashville. Current concern about the safety of DC-10 jumbo jets touched local folks recently. Thomas and Margaret Leonard of Nashville flew to California on an American Airlines DC­ 10, the day before the fateful crash in which 274 persons perished when a similar aircraft lost an engine during take­ off at Chicago. The Leonards went west to visit a friend at Los Angeles, where they enjoyed a week of sailing on the Pacific in his 30-ft. Bahama sailboat. Excursions to Santa Cruz Island in the Channel chain afforded an ideal op­ portunity to observe seals, shark, and dolphin, while an­ chored near Inlets surrounding the island. The leonards’ return flight to Michigan was also aboard an American DC­ 10, after the jetliner had undergone inspection and received clearance, but prior to the recent order grounding all such aircraft. Mrs. Verna Frederick of Nashville attended an open house Sunday in honor of the graduation of her grandchildren, Carol and Robert Smith, from Charlotte High School.

Mrs. Norton reports that the “uniden­ tified man” in the pre-1916 photo of Norm Hangerman’s shop was her father, John Springett. She also noted that the horses in the picture belonged to him. At that time, the family lived south of Nashville, on what was known as the old Hagerman farm, west of the Quailtrap School where the Springett children were enrolled. “My two brothers, Herold and Virgil, and I attended that school, when John Bowman taught there,” wrote Mrs. Norton. In the fall of 1919, the Springett family moved into Nashville to live in the house just north of the Charles Putnam home, now Putnam Library. Mrs. Norton added that Barney S. Eldred, another early blacksmith mentioned in the report, was her uncle-a brother to Mrs. Springett The “Memories” stories are wellcirculated through Mrs. Norton. She receives them from her daughter in Maple Grove, reads them, then forwards them on to a friend, Mrs. Myrtle (Marshall) Donovan, in Arizona. Mrs. Norton’s letter also disclosed that her two brothers are now both deceased; each lived in Quincy, Ill. at the time of his death. Good news that Mrs. Eliza Emery of Nashville was able to return home from Leila Hospital after a a-weeks stay following May 9th surgery. Her confinement time was less than expected and she is recuperating very well at home. Mrs. Emery, who underwent replacement of a hip joint and socket, is currently using a walker to get around.

Nashville. Wednesday. June 13, 1979 — Page 4 Memories of the past . . Roll call at Castleton Center School in the early 1900’s was answered by a wealth of family names still prominent in the ap­ proximately 2-mile square area that comprised School District No. 2 in the young township. Among those early family names-Bahs, Huwe, Garlinger, and Meademany descendants are still living on ancestoral lands. At least five farms in the general area are designated, or qualified to be, centennial homesteads (owned by the same family over 100 years). Apparently no longer in the immediate vicinity, however, are descendants of John Barry on whose property the first Castleton Center School was built, at the corner of State and Eaton Roads in Section 15. A second structure later replaced that first crude building which had been moved to the Barry farm to serve as a residence and, later, as a grainery. In 1902 Peter Garlinger, who owned a large farm in Section 14, bought the ad­ joining Barry acreage and his grandson, Lorin Garlinger, who now lives on the land, tore down the school-turned-grainery in the early 1950’s. A handhewn beam retained from the original school is now a support timber in Lorin’s barn. The second Castleton Center School was built sometime prior to 1902; it was a more spacious edifice, fronted with a pair of mat­ ching door. (The building still stands, now converted to a private residence.) Less than a mile distant, a magnificent stone house was built during the Civil War by Thomas Blaisdell, an 1897 settler on Section 15 of Castleton Township. His grandaughter, Jessie Robinson, would marry and forward the Meade name to sixth-generation occupancy of the still-standing homestead. Blaisdell’s great-grandson, Kenneth A. Meade, recalls early days as a scholar at Castleton Center, where he began studies in 1911. “Each morning we sang from Kilpatrick’s Knapsack of Songs,” remembers Meade, who still has his copy of the songbook. “Sometimes State Road reaches toward the western horizon in this 1916 photo of Castleton Center School with nearby woodshed, on right, and the N. Castleton Evangelical Church, on left. The school is now a home; the church e. stands deserted.

The children also carried wood for the heating stove that sat in the center of the schoolroom. A bookcase with books and magazines, that Meade believes may have been donated, served as the school’s library. “My first introduction to National Geographic Magazine was through one in that bookcase,” said Meade, who can still vividly remember the African natives pictured in the magazine. Pleasant memories of seasonal outdoor activities at Castleton Center still linger. Noon hours and recess periods allowed the youngsters an opportunity to play ball on a diamond back of the school. “In the winter, after the first snow, we played a game of ‘Fox and Hares’ on a course laid out in the snow,” Meade reminisced, “and sometimes, at noon, we went skating on a pond north of the school on Huwe’s farm.” Each season brought its own special joy of learning. In the spring the children made excursions into Bahs’ woods on a field trip to pick and identify wild flowers. A favorite teacher at the school was Orlin Yank, who became locally well-known, later taught throughout Michigan, and finally retired near Woodland. He had been the only male among 24 graduates of Barry County Normal in 1911. Edward Hafner of Nash­ ville was a very early teacher at the school. Other later teachers, wellremembered, were Miss Gokay of Nashville; Arloa Berkely and Gertrude Bizer, both of Woodland, and Miss Vera Wood. Meade left Castleton Center School in 1916 to enter high school in Nashville, making the daily 10-mile round-trip by horse and buggy. Enrollment at Castleton Center varied, from 40 to 14, throughout the years. Lorin Garlinger, who started school there the year after Meade went on to high school, remembers classes averaging 25 to 30 students. Sometimes there were as many as 40 attending the school which was a large structure by most country school standards. An 1880 history of Barry County noted that '608 scholars were receiving instruction in Castleton Township, under the supervision of 8 males and 15 female teachers, who received an aggregate yearly sum of $2,363. The total value of school property in Castleton Township, which in 1880 included one brick and ten frame struc­ ture, was set at $4,615 and total resources for educational purposes in the township that year were $3,475. “The year 1842 witnessed the earliest effort toward establishment of a public Castleton Center scholars pose in 1913 with popular instructor, Orlin Yank.

Russell & Mabel Booher thereafter on section 24 of the township, on the Racey farm. “A small school had previously been taught by Mrs. Olive Racey, at her house, with a few scholars from her own immediate family and the homes of a neighbor or two but this was, strictly speaking, a private observed the the enterprise,” observed 1880 account The seven whole and three fractional districts em­ braced by the township in 1880 continued to grow and, some 60 years later,. Castleton’s country schools were assimilated into the Nashville Public School. This late 1930’s move was an economy measure precipitated by the stress of the Great Depression. Children from rural areas were bussed into the village, a plan encountering some opposition in farm districts in the township. But today, even with additional school consolidation, descendants of those early Castleton Center scholars still answer roll call to pioneer family names from District No. 2. Deadline Notice!

Flying through the air with the greatest of ease is Lion third baseman, Tuesday Aspinall who took this high throw from catcher Cinda Murphy but was too late with the tag to nip this Stockbridge runner. The Lions kept Panther scoring to a minimum as Coach Jackie Peek's squad posted a 13-9 victory. (Maple Volley News photo) The Maple Valley Lions continued to stalk a precious Class C state championship softball title Saturday but, in regional level action at Williamston High School, were rudely slapped with an abrupt end to their season. The Blissfield Royals, behind the blistering wind­ mill style pitching of Debbie Thompson, held off a late inning rally by the Lions to nip Maple Valley 10-8 and earn the trip to the state championship game this Saturday at Clare High School. Coach Jackie Peek’s Maple Valley squad had reached Saturday’s regional level by winning the Bellevue District last week and then whipping Stock­ bridge High 13-9 in the first game of the three-game regional. The highly controlled pitching of Terrie Huston continued to cast its magic spell against Stockbridge, though walks and a com­ bination of Lion errors in innings four and five allowed the Panthers their nine runs. However, Huston blanked Stockbridge through the final three innings while her teammates blistered the ball for a combination of four, four, and two runs in the last three innings of play. Highlight of the hitting barrage was a home run shot by Lori Decker. Outfielder Kelli Knoll and infielder Debbie Sutfin added three hits each. A leak proof Blissfield defense plus the inhibiting speed pitching of Thompson in game two kept the Royals in control of the Lion fate However, Maple Valley which entered the final in­ ning with a 10-3 deficit used a combination of walks and key hits to come up with five big runs. However, with one out and the bases loaded in that final chance, Carmaine Janousek ripped into an infield double play to send Blissfield into wild celebration. Blissfield,, a town of 2,653 , fbcated between Adrian, Michigan, M hg , and d Tld Toledo,, Ohio^ Oh ^ sends its softball team to Clare High School Saturday for the final leg in the state championship bid.

We were told that there was no funds available to improve this road like it has been done West of Ver­ montville, that is, not in the near future. They are making a real fine im- provement as we all have noticed. We were told they hope to make more im­ provements this year. We all hope so. Thank you again, Leonard Aldrich 314 N.

This type of bond is generally more costlyjiecause only the income from the operating system is pledged as security to back the bond issue. As a result, interest rates can be higher, and the financing charges are also higher. Chariman Kienutske also explained that on the basis of the information the council and Public In­ formation Committee have received, it is also possible to use the revenue from the operating system to repay General Obligation Bonds. “These are just a few of the options we have open to iis. The council will be making some critical decisions in the weeks to come, and I think I can speak for the other members of the Public Information Com­ mittee when I encourage all the residents of Nashville to make the effort to find out about the" financing of the project and help select the method best suited for our village.” An added measure of protection for Nashville is provided by the Michigan Municipal Finance Com­ mission, who will review and approve the selected financing plan prior to the sale of bonds. The village council has also instructed its consulting engineers to file an ap­ plication for a loan from the Farmers Home Ad­ ministration (FmHA). If the loan is approved, the FmHA will agree to purchase the bonds for the project’s local share at 5 percent interest for 40 years. Chairman Kienutske explained that this can result in substantial cost savings over the term of the bond issue. On the basis of recent bond sales, the difference between the current interest rate on the open market and a FmHA loan is approzimately 1 percent, but open market bonds usually have a higher annual payment because of a much shorter pay back period. That difference can mean a real savings to the residents of Nashville. • • One Coat Coverage • Fade Resistant. • Stain Resistant. • Non-Chalking.

Wednesday, June 13. 1979 — Page 12 Nashville site for senior citizens new In my last letter I indicated that our group couldn’t be involved in more activity than we were. That proved to be an erroneous assumption, as May has been our busiest month to date! We began the month by honoring our eldest group member, George Dean, in observing his 95th birthday on May 1st. That day Mrs. Nancy Cook, her daughters and a friend entertained us in song, with guitar accompaniment. Mrs. Cook then intrigued us with her ventriloquist friend “George”, and titillated us with his homespun humor and philosophies. She was a good entertainer and we appreciated her effort very much. On May 4th, twelve of our Site members, traveling by bus and private cars, took advantage of the Health Screening at the CAC in Hastings. On the same, evening, nine went to Delton to the “Good Time Barbershop Variety Show” which we enjoyed so much; especially the gorgeous costumes. Then we indulged in a little singing of our own P Thank You to... BULTMAN STUDIOS J 2252 S.

The Keynote Speaker was Rep. David Hollister. In the Michigan House, Rep. Hollister has chaired the Mental Health Committee and been a member of the Commission on Aging. He is now a member of the House Appropriations Committee. In the afternoon we formed small discussion groups on topics which pertained to special interests of older citizens. Those from Nash­ ville who attended were the Messrs. Clare Wright, Gaylord Morton, Forrest Babcock, Clifford Brooks and Mrs. Ferne Green. Also on the 11th, each lady present at the noon hour a received beautiful “Mother’s Day” Carnation, compliments of Deidra Sprinkle, Edna Edwards and Forrest Babcock. On the 15th Clare Wright, Forrest Babcock, Gaylord Morton and Ferne Green arrived - sleepy eyed - at the Site at 7:45 a.m., joining Hastings people for the trip to Lansing to attend “Senior Power Day”. Two local vans transported. The crowd in Lansing was estimated at well over Six we x Thousand. ousan. Everyone was served a I delicious Box-lunch, at their | seats, at noon and after lunch noted persons, in­ cluding cu ng Gov. ov. Milliken, en,spoe spoke |briefly rey concerning concernng the te needs, nees, concerns, rights and powers of the elderly population. on the 16th a number of 6th Grade students from Nashville Kellogg Elementary School, under the tutelage of Liz VanderMolen, gave an excellent exhibition of Square Dancing, engaging in many intricate formations. For some of our group, the trip to the Holland Tulip Festival on the 17th was the highpoint of interest this month. Nashville folks who went were Gladys Histed, Clifford Brooks, Gaylord Morton, Ona Hinckly and Mr. and Mrs. Joseph Tegel. We had a full house on the 18th. Bill Rummel, a hearing-aid specialist representing the Michigan Hearing Aid Co. of Wyoming, Mich., conducted hearing tests. After lunch a Con­ sumers Power agent showed when homeward bound. May blood pressure readings totaled 32, about average per month. Our monthly Site Meeting was held on May 8th. Since quite a number of the group have difficulty with hearing, we discussed purchasing a Public Address System. All members donated toward the system and we used it for the first time onthe 11th. It is a valuble asset, improving communications greatly. A committee of three persons was appointed to draft a. “disposal agreement” of the System, in the event of disbandment of the group at some future date. This month a Sympathy card went to Trudy Brown when she lost a brother, and Convalescent cards to Viola Beystrum and Eliza Emery. Viola is able to be with us again, and Eliza is at home, after having undergone hip surgery. We also had a “Card Shower” for Beulah Thompson, shortly before her demise. Beulah was a really “grand” lady with a winsome personality, and she will be sorely missed (especially by me). Valley Graduates pictures. —The Maple Valley News EXCAVATING 2996 N.

Also honored were Mr. and Mrs. Rchard Green, who observe their 44th Wedding Anniversary on June 1. Mr. Roberts, Barry County Civil Defense Director, came and instructed us about “Tornado Safety”, giving pointers to better insure one’s personal safety during violent weather. In mid-May, we bid a fond farewell to Deidra Sprinkle, who had been our Site Supervisor for some months. We presented her with a gift, and expressed our wish to her for a happy marrigae and a successful future. She intends to live in Rockford, Mrs. Earl Michigan.. (CLARA ( Pennock is acting as Site Supervisor, and we are helping her get ac­ customed to the routine. She is doing fine, already, and we enjoy her! Some of the articles shared on “Show and Tell” this month have been a beautiful fringed silk shawl and a pair of “Geisha Girl” pictures from Japan (Carol) two small dolls from Germany, 40 years old (Verna), and cuddly bed-time toys that Clara sews. She brought Teddy Bears, and Owl, Elephant and a Beaver, just right for Tots wee hands. On May 30th, Twenty people, all ages, from EBI, Lake Odessa, entertained us with a dozen songs; a mixture of old favorites, Patriotic Religious and semi-popular light music. There were numbers featuring a solo part, duet and quartet leads. Margaret did a song with guitar and Maxine did some excellent baton twirling. Some numbers featured harmonica and kazoo accompaniments. The Director of the Group (also guitarist) deserves a great -deal of credit for co-ordinating the talent in the group that brings so much pleasure to others, as well as to them­ selves. We’d enjoy having their “Sunshine Singing Club” visit us again soon! The month closed with Lyn Thompson being our lun­ cheon guest and giving us the results of a recent survey taken among all Sites, as to preferences for jEducational programs, Activities and Entertainment. MEMBER NNA Association - Founded 1885 Due Bill - The House has approved HB 4245, the 1979-80 K12 school aid bill, which contains an increase of some 9 percent. Amounts will surely be changed in the Senate, but still this is the first 1980 budget bill to pass one house this year. L Last Primary? y - The full House will soon vote on HB 4392,, which would do away with Michigan’s Presidential Primary. Proponents cite the high cost and low turnout for the 1976 primary; Primary supporters urge keeping it, with changes. I’d be interested in your feelings on this issue. Jobs Up - Michigan’s unemployment rate registered a big drop in May, down to 7.2 percent from April’s 8.6 percent This was due to increased outdoor and retail business ac­ tivity. Even so, it is higher than the 6.6 percent rate for May 1978. Headlee Action - Both houses have now approved HB 4232, which implements the property-tax-millage-rollback provision of the Headlee tax limitation amendment. Differing elements of the House and Senate versions must be reconciled. Also the Senate will soon vote on SB 460, which implements the provision that the state must pay for new programs it requires locally. Energy Powers - Now before the House is SB 244, which would give the governor broad powers to declare an energy emergency and to issue executive orders to deal with that emergency. The governor could declare an energy emergency for 90 days and suspend any law that interferes with the state’s ability to meet the situation. The legislature ’ could end the emergency. Gas Good - The state Energy Director has said that gasoline supplies will be adequate to meet Michigan demand during June. However, he urged motorists to conserve gasoline whenever possible so that more will be available for vacation use. The availability hotline: 800-292-2520 Heavy Breathing - The Senate has approved SB 236, which would require non-smoking areas at public meetings of state government units and their agencies. The area could be designated by a sign or verbally; there would have to bea verbal notice at the start of the meeting. Legitimate issue - Governor Milliken has signed into law HB 4246, which prohibits on a birth certificate any reference to the legitimacy or illegitimacy of a child. This would apply to both the public and confidential portions of the birth record. Beer Competition? - Governor Milliken has proposed to the Liquor Control Commission new rules which would encourage competition in beer pricing. These would remove restrictions on quantity discounts, price advertising and wholesale pricing procedures. Hearings will come later. • NOTICE • There will be a Public Hearing June .14, 1979 at Castleton Township Hall at 6:00 p.m. for the purpose of reapprop­ riating the 10th entitlement period of Federal Revenue Sharing.

In canning acid foods, one needs to heat the canned food through to 212 degrees F. using boiling water in a water bath canner for the recommended processing time. Because each acid food is different, be sure to follow the recipe for correct processing time. Low acid foods include all vegetable, meats, poultry, seafoods, soups and mixed job, identifying the decision maker and assertive in­ terviewing. There is a fee for each workshop.

Because these foods do not contain enough acid to protect against certain bacteria, low acid foods must be processed, “superheated”, to or 240 degrees F. in a pressure canner to destroy these bacteria and produce a safe and wholesome food product. When canning, use only recipes that have been scientifically developed and follow the recipe exactly. Remember-only two types of foods: high and low acid.

Subsidy approved for rail service between Vermontville and Grand Rapids — The Michigan Transportation Commission Wednesday approved state subsidy for the Kent, Barry, Eaton Connecting Railway (KBE) to operate rail freight service between Grand Rapids and Vermontville. In his motion to accept the recommendation of the Michigan Department of Transportation (MDOT) to award an operating contract to KBE, Vice Chairman Carl V. Pellonpaa of Ishpeming repeated the previous State Highway Commission’s commitment to affirmative action by providing help for a minority enterprise. KBE, composed of black Detriot business people, would be the first minority-owned railroad in the state and possibly in the country. The nine-month operating contract will provide a subsidy of $574,597, a commitment subject to legislative approval. In the second year of operation, KBE would require a sub­ sidy of $954,129 for 12 months. This compares with a current six-month operating and maintenance contract with Conrail for the sum of $104,525. Conrail is much larger, has its own locomotives, an accounting system and charges only for the time it works on the line. The 41.7-mile line, once owned by the bankrupt Penn Central Railroad, has been operated since April 1, 1976, by Conrail and subsidized by the state. KBE operations should begin sometime after July 1. Along with the nine-month operating contract and the commitment of funds, the Transportation Commission also accepted KBE’s fiveyear plan, financing arrangements and consultant; and approved cancellation of the current Conrail contract and adoption of a maintenance agreement with Midwest Construction Co.

She is a graduate of Midland High School and Central Michigan University. Burr Hartenburg made a report relative to projected class sizes for the coming school year which show that some classes such as ad­ vanced mathematics, chemistry, and honors English only have four or five students registered to take these courses. The general discussion was whether or not to offer these courses every other year considering the low enrollment each year. No decision was reached, and the enrollment in all classes will be studied further. The board members set the price on the building trades house recently completed on Casgrove Street in Nashville at $48,500 with an open listing through the local realtors. Mrs. Hildred Peabody and some elementary teachers were present to make a presentation covering their visits to other elementary schools regarding tran­ sitions rooms. Such rooms are developed for children that have experienced dif­ ficulty in kindergarten, and it isn't advisable to have the student enroll in the regular first grade classroom. There was a general discussion relative to having such a room, but no action was taken. The board members ap­ proved the purchase of seven IBM typewriters for the office block program at a cost of $3,955.00. Approval was given the purchase of a photo copy machine (Model 207) from 3M company at a cost of $995.00. Robert Dormer abstained from voting on the copy machine. The board members ap­ proved the purchase of two lots at Fuller Heights in Nashville from Mr. & Mrs. LaVerne Stierley. These lots will be used as future sites for the building trades class. Ground broken in Charlotte for H-G-B Hospital wingground breaking A ceremony for a new wing at Hayes-Green-Beach Memorial Hospital was held Sunday afternoon. With a total of the fund­ raising program standing at $669,853., Clifford Smith, Chairman of the Board of Trustees of. the hospital, hasannounced that a con­ tract had been signed with HBE of St. Louis, Missouri, a hospital construction firm. Construction will begin immediately. Participating in the ground-breaking ceremony were Douglas D. Lowe., general chairman; Lynn Fowler, big gifts chairman; Al Hirt, special gifts chairman; Frederick P. Darin, OD, general gifts chairman: and Lyle Buxton, chairman of the area campaigns. Employees of the hospital provided refreshments. Speaking for the' campaign organization, Mr. Lowe said last week, “we are going to continue our campaign in behalf of the new wing for the remainder of this year if necessary. There are still more than 2,000 solicitations to be completed and the volunteers of our com­ mittees and divisions will dedicate themselves to the completion of that assign­ ment.” Mr. Fowler’s Big Gifts Committee is now awaiting a decision on larger gifts that will be forthcoming from Owens-Illinois, Inc., General Motors and other con­ tributors capable of sizable amounts. Mr. Smith said the present campaign total came from fewer than 900 contributors. He also said that the campaign organization was planning to publish a special list of contributors when the 1,000 contributor mark is reached later this month. Headquarters for the Expansion Fund will be moved from the present location at 139 S. Cochran to the building presently oc­ cupied by the Shirt Shack at 107 W.

Thanks to the extreme generosity of Nashville merchants, businessmen, and residents, the village’s Main Street will put on a lovely Christmas face with the addition of four new lamp post decorations recently ordered by the Nashville Chamber of Commerce. Funds for the purchase were raised through merchant and business donations, and canisters placed in various stores to collect community contributions. Responsible for soliciting the funds to brighten Nashville’s Main Street were Harold Christiansen and Irene Goodnoe of the Chamber’s Civic Improvement Committee. Sharon Brumm and Terril Thomas made a trip to Frankenmuth to •" select the decorations at Bronners. The officers and membership of the Chamber extends sincere thanks to the entire community for their whole-hearted support of this project. Mrs. Amy Putnam of Nashville will serve as counselor this week at the United Methodist Church Wesley Woods church camp near Dowling. Mrs. Verna Frederick ofNashville had as recent Saturday callers Mr. and Mrs. Robert Clements of Charlotte. A bolt of lightening jolted Sandyland Park Sunday, during our recent severe weather watch, but fortunately no one was injured. The flash first struck - and melted - a double CB antenna on an auto parked near the entry area, jumped to a nearby chain link fence several feet west of the ticket booth, and ran eastward along the metal fence. Only the in­ terruption of the wooden ticket booth undoubtedly saved security guard Dan Dipert, who had just opened the main gate to allow an auto driven by Rosalie Murphy to enter the interior grounds. Thwarted by the wooden booth, the bolt shot up the wire on an adjacent utility pole, knocking out phone service and a mercury light on the post. Several persons who were in their autos in the parking lot, seeking shelter from a downpour which had inundated Nashville moments earlier, were severely startled by the incident, as were park personnel in the ticket booth. Dipert reportedly felt the tingle of the electricity as he raised his hand from the metal gate. The deluge caused both Sunday shows to be cancelled. Grand Ole Opry star Cal Smith and his entourage from Nashville, Tenn., were in their bus parked near the stage building when the lightening struck. The flash left two sizable holes in the ground, as mute testimony to its force, and also temporarily left Sandyland without phone service, plus a loss of power to the ticket booth. The Nashville Fire Department was called to the South End grocery Saturday evening, June 9, to extinguish a car fire. The blaze reportedly damaged .the engine and front tires of an auto belonging to Harold Whitaker of Nashville. Horseshoes may be a symbol of good luck but perhaps not for a little miss on Guy Road. The Nashville was called out Thursday to transport a 12-year-old girl to Pennock Hospital, for treatment of chest injuries sustained when she was kicked in the side by a horse. The same young lady, just last month, had spent several days in the hospital after suffering head injuries in a similar mishap. The Nashville Church of the Nazarene defeated the Hastings Church of the Narzarene, 12-4, in recent com­ petition in a men’s slow-pitch softball league formed by 13 area churches. The Nashville Nazarenes were topped by the Nashville Baptist Church “Old Timers” team by a score of 15-9. Ladies and girls’ softball competition is also being sponsored by the church league and play was scheduled to start Saturday among those teams. An “Open Bible Running Club,” formed by a nucleus of men from the Nashville Baptist Church, is seeking new members among Christian men in the community who are interested in long-distance running. The activities will in­ clude weekly Saturday morning devotional time followed by a “fun run”, plus participation in various runs throughout the state within the next few months. Six runners from the Nashville Baptist Church competed in the recent 10,000 meter Cereal City run, held in Battle Creek.

After toe business meeting, refreshments were served and all enjoyed an afternoon of visiting. Condolences are extended to the family of Mrs. Boyd (Lu Elda) Olsen who passed away Friday, June 8, following a brief confinement at Pennock Hospital in Hastings.

Leonard Putnam and Mrs. Clifford (Evelyn) Mason ofNashville were official representatives of the local United Methodist Church to the Annual Session of the West Michigan Conference of the UMC held at Albion College from Wednesday through Saturday last week. A 3-day stay near Chicago’s “Magnificent Mile” was recently enjoyed by Mr. and Mrs. Donald Hinckley of Nash­ ville and their daughter, Mrs. Donna La Dere of Hastings. The trio flew to Chicago, landing at Meigs Field, via a commuter flight out of Grand Rapids International Airport. The return trip was from O’Hare Field, after some difficulty iin obtaining seats due to an overflow of passengers stranded by DC-10 groundings. A highlight of their visit to the “windy city” was a guided “after dark” bus tour, originating at the Conrad Hilton Hotel in downtown Chicago. The excursion included stops at Chinatown and Budkingham Fountain (the world’s largest lighted fountain); plus a drive through the famous Maxwell and Rush Street areas. Other sites visited during the 3-day stay were the Shedd Aquarium; the Museum of Science and Industry in Jackson Park; the Field Museum of Natural History; the Sears Tower; the John Hancock Building; Marshall Fields; and Water Tower Place - a 7-story glass-elevatored shopping center located near the historic old water tower which survived the Great Chicago Fire of 1871.

Among the biggest operators are John Furniss, H. E. Downing and Flav Feighner, all of whom are paying from one to five cents higher than buyers in neighboring towns.” Another five years, and Nashville’s wool situation was reported stable, if not flourishing. From the News, in early May 1907, comes this ac­ count: The local wool market is getting lively. F. J. Feighner, John Furniss, B. B. Downing and H. E.

Shearing sheep with hand-cranked rigs required plenty of manpower, plus help in confining the animals and bailing the fleece.

Hummel of Nashville often worked in duo with trimmer Ed Feighner, because it proved more profitable to haul their equipment together and, shearing in unison, they could complete an entire flock in one day. With two rigs in operation, the men could trim close to 100 sheep in a working day and received 10 to 15 cents per head, Fay recalls. The Vic Furniss was a gentleman farmer, who lived in Hummel and Feighner town but raised livestock on property he owned near enterprise required at least the western village limits.

Village residents may presently have mail delivered to rural boxes located along major arteries-Sherman, Reed, and the extremities of Main Street Mail is also delivered to rural boxes along Fuller Street (M-79 west) and there are a few rural boxes within Through all kinds of weather, Clarence Shaw has volunteered his services a village limits on West self-appointed postman for over 30 years, picking up mail and delivering it to Casgrove and East Street shut-ins and senior citizens who have no transportation to the post office or rural However, individuals delivery points.

In addition to publishing the Maple Valley News, J-Ad Graphics also publishes the Reminder, Battle Creek Shopper, and Marshall Advisor. Twenty other publications also are printed at the Hastings plant. The tour began where the news writing begins, at the Compugraphic Mini-Disk terminal. This machine eliminates a regular typewriter and paper. As reporters type their stories, the words appear on a television screen and are entered onto a magnetic disk. The terminal com­ pletes two steps at one time; copy that is input into the terminal is automatically typeset in the process. In the press room, where the tour ended, chamber members observed the printing of the Battle Creek Shopper News and received copies “hot off the press." Afterwards, refreshments were served and the Virginia Alles, advertising representative for the Maple Valley News, looks through the art library at J-Ad Graphics to show Sharon and Jerry Brumm (left) and Terri Terrill all the many ideas available to illustrate display ads.

Wednesday, June 20, 1979_Page 9 More poetry from Kellogg students Before school was dismissed for the summer, sixth grade students in the classes of Mr. Slag, Miss Polanski, and Mrs. Briggs at Kellogg School in Nashville had the creative writing experience of composing their own poetry. The following poems are samples of their work: by Mark Shattuck There was a young lad from Book Bay Who never felt merry or gay He took a big bucket Went to Nantucket And shot baskets for the rest of the day. MY NAME IS by Todd Benton Together we will go away, Our freedom we will gain Down the mountains and through vallies Dreaming all the way. THE SALT SPRAY by Raynette Knapp The waves are splashing on the breakers. It’s a fresh green spring day. Looking for my lost, yes, lost love. But, it’s all, oh, it’s all in vain. He’s gone, gone in the sea Never to return He was so dear to me Searching far over the salt spray. Maybe he’ll come back to me some day But no, he’s gone, gone with the sea. BRICE IS MY NAME by Brice A. Tobias Bring yourself into my wc$ld, my very own place. Reading and writing all day long I do. I sit on my haunches dreaming along. Come and see the dreams of the day. Ever so neatly printed in view, come and see the dreams from my view. GREEN by Robert Browne Green is the dolor of grass in the spring, Green is the color of nature’s seed. Green is the streak of something flying. Green is the stem of a dandy-lion. Green is the color of the oceans and seas. It really is, believe you me. I can still think of a whole lot more, But just the same, let your mind soar. MY PLACE by Karen Long There’s a place where only I know; Deep into the woods where violets grow, Where the streams gurgle and flow, Through the Spring’s rain and winters snow Life here is jolly Filled with the scent of honey and holly Where deer dance and play day by day. by Karen Long There was an old man of Cabill, who lived in a house on a hill, When the rain finally came, his house wasn’t the same, Now who was to blame. For he built it of mud which he baked in the sun but now it is nothing but a gaint sized mat Which is the home of a water rat. He swims to one side and back. Because the old man of Cabill had the brains of a bat. CAMPING by Julius Maurer There once was a guy named Zan. And he sure liked camping. He liked it so much... His house became a tent. All the bricks became rocks. Resting around the fire. And all the wood became wood to make the fire burn. The rose come budding and the young trees are rootjng The beavers are cutting away at some trees All the furniture he had sold. Became money so he could buy the tent. He would sit on logs. That he had chopped with an ax. And lay on the ground. That he cleared with his hand. The young birds fly through yonder blue sky Soaring away wishing as I that the blue sky should shine all day long. WHY CAN’T I SEE IT? by Jackie Gardner But then the sun sets and sinks into the mountain tops rinks Then I leave my place with a wave and a sigh, And my mom asked me where I spent all the day. I just give a nod and a little wink. I hear the wind singing; As it goes along like a beautiful stream. It goes as high as the highest mountain... As low as the lowest land. I hear the wind whistle, and whistle and whistle. There is just one thing I don’t understand, WHY CAN’T I SEE IT? LITTLE CHICKADEE CHAP by Daniel Robert Lykins I lay in my bed on a stormy night; and listen to the wind howling. I look out the window and wonder to myself; WHY CAN’T I SEE IT? Little chickadee chap; With his little black cap. Singin’ in the treetops Flittin’ in the breeze Singin’ his mighty song With such graceful ease. I went outside on a warm summer eve; Oh was the breeze cool; It took my mind so far away; to a “place” that no one had seen. Then I thought to myself maybe... The wind was an unknown mystery; I thought...

Based on con­ ditions as of June 1, growers still expect to harvest 770,000 acres of winter wheht this summer with the State average yield of 40 bushels per acre. The crop condition remained fairly good throughout the State with nearly half of the crop headed by June 10. Nationally, the winter wheat crop is pegged at 1.43 billion bushels, 14 percent greater than last year and 3 percent above last month’s forecast. Peach growers in Michigan are expecting a much smaller crop than normal. Producers lost many trees due to the hard winter, plus the spring weather was not conducive to good bloom, pollination, etc. The 1979 crop is set at 35 million pounds, 42 percent less than last season. On the United States level, the peach crop is expected to be almost 3 billion pounds, up 8 percent from last year and almost equal to the 1977 crop. Nashville VFW 8260 The Way They Were..

Call your local S-S office to find out where to get them. Tickertron Ok - Both houses have now approved SB 214, which allows the use of computer ticket-selling devices— “ticketrons”-in Michigan. These would add a surcharge to tickets and make them available in shopping malls and other retail areas. Hot Seat? - The Department of Labor has pointed out that there is no law, standard or rufe'relating to temperatures in the workplace, so no matter how hot it gets this summer, there is no point at which an employer must send workers home. Grant’s Tomb? - The Senate Municipalities and Elections Committee has voted to remove from the 1979-80 budget the state’s annual $800,000 grant for the Pontiac Silverdome. There have been previous attempts to remove this on the basis that it is a gift to private enterprise, not a public agency. However, the House has always voted to retain the grant. Food Thought - Under present law, all school districts must begin breakfast programs this fall. However, a special House subcommittee is now studying HB 4427 and 4503 which would allow local voters to decide whether or not to have them. Breakfast supporters say the program helps children learn better; opponents say it increases costs and disrupts family lives. Busy Signal - Now in the House is SB 150, which would prohibit the use of automated-dialing, push-button or toneactivated devices for pre-recorded commercial telephone messages. However, they could be used if a telephone subscriber has said it’s OK or given his number to the caller. There have been several complaints about such “robot” calls. Fearsome Fiber - The Department of Public Health has reported that a continuing examination of 1,510 schools in 71 counties has turned up'' 149 asbestos-containing materials from schools in 32 counties. Asbestos was used in building materials before its health hazard was known.

Circus Genoa, billed as America’s second-largest three-ring tent circus, will pay a visit to Nashville this Wednesday. Two shows, featuring lions, tigers, elephants, dogs, ponies, mules, horses, camels and llamas, will be held under the big top at 4 and 8 p.mK at the West Sherman Ball Field south­ west of the Main Street stores. The Nashville Chamber of Commerce is sponsoring the circus’s visit to the village as a fund-raising project. Advance tickets for the shows may be purchased from any Chamber member, at the Reminder office in Hastings, or at the Charlotte Shopping Guide’s office. Tickets also will be available at the showgrounds on circus day for those who do not pur­ chase tickets in advance. Hailed as the en­ tertainment world’s “brightest new gem,” Circus Genoa features more trained wild and domestic animals than any other tent circus on tour in the United States...including three herds of performing elephants. Also offered to all patrons of the big show, without additional charge, is a huge wild animal zoo. In addition to animals, the circus performance includes a vast array of topjiuman performers from the four corners of the world — wire walkers, jugglers, acrobats, trapeze stars, equestriennes, contortionists, balancers, aerialists, high-wire thrillers, and, of course, funny clowns — all backed by a live brass band, one of the few circus bands still in existence. Animal performers in­ clude ferocious, lions and tigers in the steel arena, horses, ponies, dogs, three herds of elephants, white wolves, mules, camels, and llamas. Circus Genoa will arrive Wednesday morning on a specially constructed fleet of trucks and semi-trailers, erectits tented city, give two performances, dismantle the entire thing and move it once again in less than 24 hours. On the following day, other circus patrons will be watching the same clowns and performers and tossing peanuts to the same elephants 50 to 100 miles down the road. The miracle of logistics is accomplished daily from March until November by the more than 150 employees of the great Circus Genoa. People of this area are invited to visit the circus grounds Wednesday mor­ ning (June 27) to see the unloading and erection of the huge big top and other tents and equipment and to wit­ ness the feeding of the many circus animals. There is nocharge to be on hand for this unusual experience. Early in the morning, the more than 25 diesel-powered transport trucks will begin arriving. The huge circus tent will be spread, stakes will be driven, and a crew of men and trained elephants will push, pull, and lift the canvas auditorium more than 35 feet into the air. A total of 300 stakes, 106 poles and several miles of cables and ropes will be necessary. Meanwhile, trucks and trailers carrying the huge free menagerie will be moved into position arid attentants will feed and water their beasts. This attraction is shown free during the rriorning hours and to all patrons with tickets for the show without additional charge. All of the circus-morning activity is a show in itself. Everyone is invited to witness this seldom-seen spectacle; and the best part, it’s free. Head trainer for the Circus Lining up to fill ‘er up A scene from'Califomia? Don't Nashville area residents wish! The scarcity of the ever increasingly precious commodity called gasoline hit home last week as Nashville area residents, shown in the photo, lined-up to get as much of the product into their tanks as possible before local supplies were depleted. The effects of the gasoline shortage were being felt around the nation as the protest by independent truck drivers, blockading gasoline supply terminals, caused gas supplies to dwindle.. (Maple Valley News photos by Virginia Alles) Genoa is Capt. Bobby Gibbs, a veteran circus star who has appeared with virtually every American indoor and outdoor show at some time or another, and also has presented his fine acts in Mexico, Canada, Alaska, and Central and South America. For several years, he was featured at the Circus World Museum in Baraboo, Wis., but after several “relaxing” summers, his feet began to itch again and he was coaxed back to the tented circus by the management of the new Circus Genoa. Gibbs says that elephants are the easiest beasts to train. “It isn’t true that they never forget,” he says, “but they are very intelligent and they love to show off for the public.” On the other side of the ledger, horses probably are the most difficult to develop Continued on page 9— Vermontville Academy to offer summer colonial craft classes — Efforts are being made to make the Vermontville museum a focal point of interest this summer. As usual, the local historical society will have it open to visitors from 2-5 o’clock on Saturday afternoons during the month of July. A committee has planned to offer the children in this community an opportunity to learn some of the crafts and games that were popular when the Academy served as the only school in this community. Activities have been arranged for 2-4 p.m. ac­ cording to the following schedule: July 7 - Spool knitting for children in 3rd grade or above. July 14 - Colonial samplers for children in 3rd grade or above. July 21 - Crocheting and tatting for children in 7th grade or above. July 28 - Continuation of crocheting and tatting. It will be helpful if those planning to attend will call either Leta Nagle (726-0468) or Martha Zembke (726-0338) by Wednesday prior to the scheduled class. There will be no charge for the lessons and all materials will be furnished. It is hoped that many children will enjoy participating in this project, say its sponsors. |T5.ffltennan T Ball Held H WOMPH, O14XICT cr COXXf g,r Nashville Chamber President Charles Andrus, Jr. arranged for Circus Genoa to perform in Nashville. Advanced tickets for the 4 and 8 p.m. performances are available from all chamber members and will be sold at the showgrounds. Circus Genoa is an old-fashioned American tent circus a type of family entertainment which is vanishing from the scene. These are some of the elephants in the herds of ponderous performing pachyderms which are coming with Circus Genoa, the nation's second largest three ring tent circus. Both Indian and African elephants are included in the Circus Genoa herds. �The Mople Valley News Nashville Wednesday June 27, 1979 — Poge 2 Nashville News A thrill for local youngsters, as in days gone by, will be watching the “big top' ’ set up Wednesday, June 27, at the old ballfield southwest of the Main Street stores. The Circus Genoa is slated to begin performances at 4:00 and 8:00 p.m. under the tent said to be the second largest in the world Advance agents of the circus report the tent will stand 5stories tall, and measure 360 feet long and 120 wide A variety of fabulous acts and entertainment are scheduled. The circus appearance in Nashville was arranged by the Chamber of Commerce as a fund-raising event and advance tickets are being sold by all Chamber members. There will also be admission at the gate. Vacation Bible School at the United Methodist Church starts this week, Monday, and continues through Friday, June 29. Friday evening the children will present a 7:30 p.m. program at the church as a conclusion of their studies. Cheryl Lyn Elliston and Johnny L. Hartwell, both of Nash­ ville, will be united in marriage Saturday afternoon, June 30, at the Nashville United Methodist Church. Two Nashville service stations were out of gasoline supplies by last Wednesday afternoon while long lines formed at the two remaining stations, though they also closed early in the evening. Gilbert P. Dickinson, former Nashville area farmer, died at Tampa, Florida last Wednesday. He and his wife, the former Ada Noyes, had lived in the south since 1952. Sur­ vivors are his wife, and a brother, Glenn, of Vermontville. Condolences to the family. Eight Nashville fireman, a NFD tanker and panel truck raced to Vermontville last Monday afternoon to assist Vermontville firefighters with a serious house fire on West First Street, about two blocks west of their fire station. A lack of manpower prompted the call for aid from Nashville. By coincidence, Nashville fireman Don Augustine happened to be working on a construction job at a home within a twoblock range of the fire. He heard the VFD call for manpower assistance on his personal monitor and also through the general alarm. Augustine always carried his fire gear with him. He scurried to the scene and was soon joined by seven other Nashville firemen. The upper floor of a large home was extensively gutted and there were also serious damage to the main level, though some household goods were rescued. The battle against the flames was hampered by a tin roof topped with asphalt, making it difficult to cut holes in the roof to allow the increasingly intense heat to escape. However, three openings were finally made while firemen shot water through gables into the attic area. Nashville firemen were on the scene nearly two hours. All over America, a new spirit of independence is stirring among the elderly. They are discovering that Washington cannot or will not solve all their problems. Many can best be handled on the local level. Every social reform demands organization, hard work, a sacrifice.of time and energy. This is in the best interests of American democracy, which is an ongoing experience. V FUNH0L MOTORS 'VoqtFUNERAL HOME in Nashville Phone 852-0840 By Susan Hinckley The Nominating Committee of the United Methodist Church will meet at the parsonage Monday, June 2nd, at 7:00 p.m. Slides of Rome, taken by Cliff and Evelyn Mason on one of their recent journeys, will be shown at the United Methodist Men’s Breakfast, slated for7:30 a.m. Sunday, July 1, at the Community House of the church. The breakfast proceeds Sunday morning worship service. Mrs. Helen Furlong of Nashville was stricken with a heart attack while driving home from Pinconning Sunday, June 17, where she had been visiting her son. Feeling a pain in her chest and realizing she felt ill, Helen, who is a registered nurse, pulled off the highway and sought help at a nearby restaurant. An ambulance was summoned to transport her to McLaren Hospital in Flint where she was confined to the Cardiac Unit. Rev. Leonard Putnam of Nashville called on her last week and reports she is coming along fine and ex­ pects to be home soon The Open Bible Running Club, under the direction of Assistant Pastor Don Roscoe of the Nashville Baptist Church, is making giant strides. The past weekend several members of the team were slated to participate in the 10,000 meter run as part of Bellevue’s “Clown Days”. Next Saturday, June 30, a contingent of runners from the club are expected to compete in the Kalamazoo Classic, also a 10,000 meter race. The club is open to all Christian men or women in the community who are interested in jogging or long­ distance running. When not competing out of town, the club conducts “fun runs’* locally, proceeded by a Saturday morning devotional time. John Mason of Nashville enjoyed a two-day trip to Gladwin last week to visit his brother, Robert, a former local resident who is now affiliated with an independent ambulance service there. On the trip home, John toured an ambulance distributorship in Flint to gather literature and information for the local ambulance board. It took a journey to big Nashville (Tennessee) for one New York lady to learn about little Nashville (Michigan), but that discovery prompted a recent flight here. Audrey Earnshaw of Warwick, N.Y., was touring the Grand Ole Opry in Nashville, Term., when she was handed a flyer about Sandyland Park by another member of the excursion. Being an avid Tommy Overstreet fan, and noting the star was to appear here on June 17, Audrey decided to fly to Michigan for his performance. She phoned Sandy Salyers of Sandyland to inquire about the show and told him when she would be arriving at Lansing airport. Sandy arranged for Mike Appelman to drive to Lansing to bring Audrey to Sandyland Park where she thour oughly enjoyed Overstreets dual Sunday show. In addition to the entertainment, Audrey was also very impressed with Nashville (Mich.) hospitality. Mrs. Elizabeth Askins of Nashville was a Wednesday through Friday houseguest of Mrs. Elsie Ramsey of rural Nashville; Thursday, she was Mrs. Ramsey’s guest at a potluck dinner at the Union Hall in Hastings for retirees of E. W. Bliss Local 414. A handsome 1891 album of Barry and Eaton Counties, in mint condition, was recently donated to Putnam Public Library by Mrs. Margaret Wagner. The exquisite leather­ bound volume contains full page portraits and biographical sketches of prominent citizens of both counties. Needless to say, the unusual book will be for in-library viewing only. It was one of a quantity of books recently donated to the library by Mrs. Wagner, and is a greatly appreciated ad­ dition to the Putnam collection. A reminiscing letter from Mrs. June Brown Potter of rural Bellevue has added several interesting footnotes to our recent “Memories” story on the old Castleton Center School. John Barry, on whose land the school on State Road was built, was brother to Mrs. Potter's grandfather, Fred Barry, who also donated land for a worthy cause. His property further west on State Road was the site of the Martin Corners Methodist Church, still standing but vacant, on the present-day Robert Barry farm. Mrs. Potter’s letter also informed us that John Barry, whose farm was adjacent to the Castleton Center School, was married to Anna Downing, a sister to Homer Downing of Nashville, who was a prominent and weD-known Nashville businessman. Memories of teacher Orlin Yank were also recalled by Mrs. Potter, as he was her first instructor when she started her schooling at Coats Grove country school. Yank, whom she remembers as a “strict but fair-minded teacher", lived with his parents at Stoney Point at that time. June recalls two events from those early school days, as if it were only yesterday. One was her first school Chirstmas when a huge 12-foot tree cut from the neighbor’s property was brought in. It touched the ceiling and was lighted with real candles, she recalls. “As I was the only kindergartner I was permitted to light the candles on the bottom row-a great thrill for me,” writes Mrs. Potter. After they were all lit, the candles were soon snuffed out to prevent fire, but left a lasting memory. The other event Mrs. Potter remembers under Yank’s tutelage was “being made to stand in the corner for talking too much,” with the delightful annotation: “Sorry to say the punishment never worked.” Thanks to Mrs. Potter for sharing these lovely memories with us. Mr. and Mrs. Clarence (Margaret) Reid of Nashville enjoyed a recent week of camping at the Baptist family camp near Lake Louise in northern Michigan. Rev. and Mrs. E. F. Rhoades of Nashville attended a Sunday graduation open house for their great­ granddaughter, Tammy Conklin, at Hastings Sunday. Tammy is the daughter of Eugene and Sandra Conklin of Hastings.

Mrs. Ray (Hazel) Morgenthaler of rural Nashville re­ entered Pennock Hospital last week Monday and, at this writing, it is not known how long she must be confined. Mrs. Morgenthaler only recently returned home following a May hospitalization. A recent visitor at the home of her mother, Mrs. Margaret Wagner of Nashville, was her daughter Mrs. Irene Lawler of Virginia, Minn. Mrs. Wagner recently moved from her Main Street home into the new apartment complex on Lentz Street Congratulations to Mr. and Mrs. Donald Blakely of Ver­ montville on the birth of a son Wednesday, June 20.

MESC Director S. Martin Taylor said his agency is recruiting temporary census workers to fill 19 openings with the bureau as it prepares for the 1980 Census. Taylor said these tem­ porary census workers will help prepare lists of county addresses for use during the census. The jobs will usually last three to four weeks and workers will be paid on a per-address collected basis. For an eight-hour day, the average worker will earn $27 to $30 plus 17 cents per mile for any driving done in a private vehicle. Applicants for the jobs must be 18 years old or over, be a U.S. citizen, have an automobile and pass a written test that will be given on Wednesday, July 11. To register for the exam, ap­ plicants must contact the Hastings MESC Job Service office by July 10. The work involves driving or walking to compile list of addresses of each dwelling unit in designated areas of Barry County. These ad­ dress lists will play a vital role in taking the 1980 Census. They will be used to produce mailing labels for the census questionnaire to be sent to each household in America on March 28, 1980. Then.'a few weeks following the April 1 Census Day, census officials will use the address lists to determine which households have not returned their completed questionnaires. Census takers must then be sent to each non-responding household to collect the information required on the census form. TheJ979 address collection activity in Barry County is part of a Census Bureau program involving 35,000 temporary workers nationwide to compile lists containg approximately 30 million addresses.

Main Street, Nashville Phone 852-0713 �The Maple Valley News. Nashville. Wednesday. June 27, 1979 Page 5 Memories of the past . . Women’s lib, much-touted today, may not be so new after all. The movement might have made some tiny inroads in early Castleton Township society when, in the early 1900’s, twentysome ladies formed the Northeast Birthday Circle. The ladies’ leisure may have been the husbands’ burden, or so inferred one uniden­ tified man in a humorous account to the local newspaper. Members of the birthday circle all lived nortneast of Nashville in an area of three square miles bounded by Thornapple Lake Road on the south, Clark Road on the west, Bayne Road on the north, and Hager Road on the east. With a few ex­ ceptions, all the ladies lived on either Section 12,13, or 24 of the young township. (A large birthday circle was also formed in an adjacent rural area, northwest of the village). Mrs. Roy (Nina) Garlinger, a former area resident and Northeast Birthday Circle member now living in Grand Rapids, recalls that the ladies “met once a month at the home of the hostess, had a little program, and visited.” The ladies took ' turns being hostess for the monthly gatherings where light refreshments were served. Dues were small-ten cents a meeting as Mrs. Garlinger remembers-but together the pooled money purchased a lovely gift for each lady as she celebrated her birthday. One year Mrs. Garlinger received as her birthday gift from the circle a lovely silver-lated gravy ladle. The following year, the ladies surprised her with a minature matching crearh ladle. Both pieces are still in her family. Fellowship with one another was an im­ portant part of the early birthday circle, much as ladies’ clubs have ever been. But their “doings” were often a puzzlement to their husbands. Perhaps to ap­ pease them, the ladies arranged a bountiful potluck dinner once a year and in­ vited the menfolk to join the festivities. This was a husband-wife event (children never attended the gatherings) and the account of such royal treatment was duly reported in an early story submitted to the Nash­ ville News by a writer identifying himself only as “A Mere Male.” In his first paragraph, the husband-reporter makes it quite clear he feels the husbands have been slighted in the past, though he uses some rather inaccurate data to make his point (the circle met once a month, not every week or so; and dues were ten cents, not five, per meeting). “The men of East Castleton have for some time past thought they had a grievance, for about every week or so their wives would ask for a horse and a half­ day off, besides drawing on the family purse for five cents, and had about made up their minds to declare a strike,” he lamented. “But, oh joy! the trouble is over, The ladies, sensing what was coming, invited the men to share one of their birthday parties at Roy Garlinger’s last Friday night,” continued the writer. “Forty-seven responded to the invitation, and to say we had a fine time-well, just listen. They started in rather light, letting us men talk about anything we wanted to, but it was not long until we were being entertained by Miss Ethel Feighner at the piano; Miss Minta Austin also gave us music, both instrumental and vocal.” “Then some games in which the men showed their ability as impromptu speech-makers, also showed the women how to handle clothespins.” The reader wonders what sort of charades these may have been, but the writer does not elaborate. Instead he speaks of the food. “Then came supper, and such a supper! George Austin stalled on the four­ teenth piece of cake, but then you must remember he had just finished eating escalloped potatoes, baked beans, sandwiches (any number of them you wan­ ted) , pickles, fruit salad and coffee. Some coffee too, the writer knows for he had four cups.”.“Is it any wonder ‘Ben’ stalled on the cake?” queried the reporter, adding, “Elmer Mater says he didn’t know there were so many good cooks in the neigh­ borhood.” In closing, the husband­ reporter indicated the slate had been wiped clean of any real or imagined slights to the menfolk: “Well, after eating such a supper as that, it was all that we could do to get home and sleep it off. But we did manage to give the women three rousing cheers and allow they would never hear us kick again.” With husbands finally included in the festivities, the "trouble" was over. East Castleton men were royally entertained at the Roy Garlinger home on Thornapple Lake Road when their wives, members of the Northeast Birthday Circle, fed them a bountiful potluck dinner at a special meeting. Roy's wife, Nina, was a club member. At left, in this 1912 photo of the Garlinger home, is Roy with his 3-yearold daughter, Madeline. On the right is his brother, Freel, with the family dog, "Tige". (Now living in the home is the Roy Garlinger’s granddaughter and family, Lorna and Earl Wilson and son). (Photo loaned, courtesy Mr. and Mrs. Lorin Garlinger) The ladies of the Northwest Birthday Circle were good cooks, their menfolk conceded, though one reporterhusband claimed the men of East Castleton "had a grievance, for about every week or so their wives would ask for a horse and half-day off."

By Margaret Ann Ross, Extension Home Economist Try these tips for saving gasoline to help the family budget. Include one or more of the following tips each week, suggests Eaton Extension Home Economist Ann Ross, and make your goal in terms of “gallons saved.” 1 - Carpool with others in your neighborhood. Take your turn, too. 2 - Shop and do errands during non-rush hours to avoid being caught in traffic. 3 - Try to one-stop shop at a multi-service shopping center close to home. 4 - Use the telephone as a shopping tool to locate goods or services. 5 - Make shopping lists to avoid having to make an extra trip for a forgotten item. 6 - Ifpossible, walk, bike, or take a bus. 7 - If you’re involved in a group activity, invite others to share the ride. 8 - If there is more than one car in the family, use the most fuel-efficient one as often as possible. 9 - Make sure your automobile engine is tuned. Studies show proper tuning can improve mileage per gallon by as much as 15 percent. 10 - Avoid using automobile air conditioning, one of the largest gas-guzzling options. Open windows and use the air vents instead. 11 - Set an example for other family members who may not be as gallon-conscious.

Then we’d spot us a deer, Sometimes there would be two; The dusk would be coming, So we would head toward home; We’d hear a chorus of crickets, Wild life, and night owls, as we, Finished our roam; These days have all passed, Our children are busy with life; Dad and I, sit alone, but in memory I see, The sight of our children, enjoying Nature with me; Chester Teachers’ College in Pa., and University of Michigan School of Music.

Poison ivy is no more an ivy, like Boston ivy and English ivy, than poison oak is an oak. Both are members of the sumac family, which also includes the common staghorn sumac; poison sumac; and pistachio, cashew and mango trees. Q. I have some leftover vegetable seeds. What’s the best way to store them so they’ll still be good next year? A. Store in a tightly sealed jar in a cool, dry location. A comer ofyour refrigerator is ideal. Q. What’s the best time to prune everbearing rasp­ berries? If you can try to prune out the canes after they bear in the early summer, the new ones coming up to bear the fall crop are in the way. A. One approach is to cut the entire plant back to the ground in the spring. By doing this, you sacrifice the spring crop, which usually doesn’t amount to much anyway, and harvest a good fall crop. This approach also simplifies pruning. Q. When you’re starting a compost pile is it necessary to “seed” it with biological agents to speed composting?

A. No. If you mix together plant materials and topsoil and provide the organisms with water and a little nitrogen fertilizer, your compost pile will be biologically active without any other additives. Q. I don’t have a very big strawberry patch, so I can’t afford to feed all the neighborhood birds out of it. What’s the best way to keep them out so I get to do the harvesting? A. Especially for a small patch, bird netting is probably your best bet. It’s fairly inexpensive and tough - it’ll last several seasons. Suspended on stakes so that it doesn’t rest directly on the berries, and draped onto the ground so that the birds can’t walk under it, netting should do the job for you. Q. I want to try caging my tomatoes this year to get the fruit up off the ground so I don’t have so much ground rot and slug damage to fruits. Whaf, kind of material should I use for the cages? A. Concrete reinforcing wire is usually recommended, but woven wire fencing can be used, too, and it may be easier to find. Just make sure that the openings in the mesh are big enough to reach through easily. If you have to reach in from the top, harvesting the fruits toward the bottom of the plant can be a strain. Q. What do I do with my strawberry patch after I harvest the berries? A. You can plow it up for replanting the following spring. Or, if plants are healthy and vigorous and relatively free of insects, weeds and diseases, you can renew it for another season. Begin as soon as possible after harvest by mowing the foliage to one and one-half inches above the plant crowns. Use a cultivator or hoe to narrow the rows to 10 to 12 inches and thin the plants, leaving only the most healthy and vigorous. Treat those that remain like a newly planted bed: water, fertilize and control weeds throughout the 'summer.

Eaton County youth attend milk marketing tour By Nancy Diuble, Extension 4-H Youth Agent Two Eaton County 4-H dairy members, Mike McGuire from Olivet and Tom Johnson from Charlotte, attended the 1979 Michigan Milk Producers Association 42nd Annual Milk Marketing Tour. The tour, held June 18 and 19 in Detroit, is one of the oldest and most informative 4-H agricultural education programs in Michigan. ' Mike and Tom were selected to join the 4-H members from across Michigan learn more about milk marketing and career opportunities and meet some of the Michigan dairy industry leaders. At the end of the tour, the participants were quizzed about their milk marketing knowledge and seven (7) of them will eventually be selected to attend the National 4-H Dairy Conference in Madkson, Wisconson. The Eaton County delegates were accompanied by Mrs. Mary McGuire from Olivet and John Baer, Extension Agricultural Agent. The entire tour was sponsored through the courtesy of Michigan Milk Producers Association. A weekly report from— Ernest Nash State Representative Safety Steps - Governor Milliken is taking all possible steps to avoid serious effects to Michigan citizens from the nationwide truckers’ strike including police escorts for fuel tankers. However, the main issues involved must be dealt with at the federal level. Budget Work - Both houses of the legislature continue to meet for long daily sessions in an effort to approve an many of the 1979-80 budget bills as possible before the scheduled summer recess date of July 14. Medicaid Cut? - The U.S. Department of Health, Education and Welfare has announced Michigan will lose $53.7 million in Medicaid and ADC funds July 1 under present plans. A court fight is expected; other states are losing funds too. Local Bonanza - Governor Milliken has recommended an additional $40 million in the 1979-80 budget for local governments. This is required under the Headlee Amend­ ment, since the state equalized valuation for last year was higher than expected, resulting in lower school aid requirements. All the savings therefrom must be passed on to local governments. Track Record - The Michigan Department of Transportation has reported that more people are using state Amtrak services than ever before, with more railcars being added all the time. Memorial Day traffic on the Port HuronChicago run was up 63 percent over the same time in 1978. Crime Survey - A recent statewide survey conducted for the Commission on Criminal Justice reported these findings : 65 percent of the people support the death penalty for first degree murder, kidnapping or terrorism; 50 percent support reducing penalties for personal use of marijuana; 60 percent support repeal of certain juvenile crimes; only 37 percent would favor a ban on bandguns. Disabled Benefits - The Governor has signed into law HB 4030, which protects the unemployment benefits of people who are disabled for long periods of time, by making a benefit claim be based on the entire 52 weeks preceding the time a disability occured. Job Saver-A five-year review has shown that 1974’s Plant Rehabilitation and Industrial Development Act has helped generate 62,000 new jobs and has saved more than 70,000 existing jobs in Michigan.

Possible EPA Grant would offer Nashville’s sewer expansion Nashville may receive word from Washington, D.C. during the first week of July on a 3.3 million dollar federal grant from the En­ vironmental Protection Agency to help expand the village’s present sewer system, officials learned at Thursday’s council meeting. Bruce Kuffer of Williams and Works of Grand Rapids, project engineers, was present at Thursday’s meeting to discuss the project status with the council. The Michigan Department of Natural Resources is also expected to grant $221,000 for the sewer expansion which will include extended collection lines, lift stations, and new waste water treatment facility. Latest estimates place the project cost at 4.8 million after village officials decided in early June to delete 1214,000 in grantineligible main line sewers into sparsely populated residential areas. Only 17 homes were affected by this action. Current cost estimates set the local share of the project at about 1.2 million. In related action Thur­ sday, the council agreed to establish an initial charge of |l,200 for each of the 183 homes served by the new system. There are 483 homes on existing lines, constructed primarily in 1909. In some areas Nashville’s present sewer system allows raw sewage to flow directly into Thornapple River and Quaker Brook which run through the village. Nashville has been under order from Michigan’s D.N.R. to improve their wastewater treatment facilities since 1968 but repeated changes in government regulations and a temporary shut-off of federal grant monies have hampered the village’s earlier efforts to comply. In other business, the council approved resur­ facing of Sherman Street, from East Street to Curtis Road, at the cost of 119,800 of Major Street Act 51 monies received from the state. The Sherman Street project will be completed this summer along with resurfacing of Middle and Cleveland Streets and blacktopping a business district parking lot, a $45,950 job approved by the council in early June. About two-thirds of that paving project will be paid with federal revenue sharing funds. The Nashville council agreed to offer to terminate the village’s present pension plan and implement Idividual Retirement Ac­ counts if the majority of village employees approve. Under the IRA plan, deemed more economical and simpler to administrate, the village would contribute a yearly retirement sum of $650 for each employee over age 40, and $500 for each employee under 40. The village would also furnish $10,000 term life insurance for ail employees. Discussion but no action covered a variety of other employee-related subjects Hayes-Green-Beach Memorial Hospital accredited by Joint Commission — Hayes-Green-Beach Memorial Hospital has been awarded the Certificate of Accreditation by the Joint Commission on Ac­ creditation of Hospitals (JCASH), according to Darwin Finkbeiner, Ad­ ministrator. The two-year accreditation became ef­ fective on June 18, 1979. The accreditation was achieved following a thorough survey of. the hospital by a professional survey team of the Joint Commission’s Hospital Accreditation Program (HAP). The hospital was evaluated on the basis of information gained from questionaires, other documentation, and an on-site visit, which includes conferences with Cont. on pg. 5 — Thursday including establishment of employment procedure guidelines, written job descriptions for all village employees, and probationary employment periods. Village compliance with Michigan’s Safe Drinking Water Act was also discussed by officials who must submit general and contingency plans to the state by January 1, 1980. 68 Vermontville homes participate in block parent program to offer child protection Vermontville’s Block Parent Program is well underway with 68 homes displaying the emblem of a black house in their win­ dows. The emblem serves as an identification device to designate to children that the home is a place where they may go to seek help in the event of an emergency when they are traveling to and from school. That’s essentially what the Block Program is all about. Its purpose is to provide children with a source of help in emergencies. It is intended especially to assure the security of children. The key to the success of the plan are the Block Parent’s homes. These The plan can be compared homes, located on each street' in the school com- to an insurance policy — it is nity, serve as havens for there if the need should children of any age who are arise, but hopefully will not in need of emergency help.

Molly Turner is the new minister of the United Methodist Church in Vermontville, the first woman to serve in that capacity in the church’s history. Mrs. Turner delivered her first sermon Sunday at the Vermontville church and also at the Gresham Church where she also will be ministering. There are two Rev. Tur­ ners in the household. Mrs. Turner’s husband, Arthur, also is a minister at Potter Park United Methodist Church in Lansing. The couple will be residing at his church’s parsonage in Lansing with their four-yearold daughter, Alicia, and Mrs. Turner will be com­ muting back and forth to this area. She said she will be in Vermontville most days in the week and will be keeping office hours at the parsonage there. No definite schedule has been set yet because that will depend on what days are best for the people and the church, she said. Mrs. Turner was formerly associate minister of Mt. Hope United Methodist Church in Lansing for three years. Previously, she and her husband shared the duties of ministering for the MantonFife Lake-Boardsman’s Parish from 1971-76. Women in the ministry are becoming more and more common, Rev. Turner relates. Seminary enrollments are averaging about 30 per cent women now, she said. A native of Jackson, she received her bachelor of arts degree from Kalamazoo College and a master of divinity degree from Garrett Evangelical in Evanston, Illinois. On the west side of the state, in the United Mehtodist Conference, there are 13 fully ordained ministers. As a woman minister, Rev. Turner says, “I’ve never had any trouble, and I don’t expect to have any. “I’m really impressed with Vermontville. The people have been so positive, so friendly and very nice. “I really enjoy preaching very much and I really enjoy being with people. I’m looking forward to meeting people in the community as well as in the church,” said Rev. Turner. When her husband is available, he plans to join her for potlucks and activities at the Vermontville Church. The couple’s hobbies are very family oriented, she said. In the summer, they look forward to family picnics and, in the winter, enjoy cross-country skiing together. On Sunday morning, she will be preaching at two services. At 9:30 a m. she will be delivering a sermon at the Gresham Church and at 11:00 she will preach at the United Methodist Church in Vermontville. Rev. Molly Turner is the new minister of the United Methodist Church in Vermontville, the first woman to serve in that capacity at the church. �The Maple Volley News, Nashville, Monday) July 2. 1979 — Page 2 Nashville News Nashville has no special observance planned for the Fourth but there will be a few minutes of excitement bet­ ween 5:23 and 5:30 p.m. when a contingent of jets from Selfridge Air Force Base at Mt. Clemens zooms over our village at low altitude. Notification of the performance was received in a communication to Village President Harold Christiansen last week. The convoy of planes will approach Nashville from .the southwest, headed in a northeasterly direction. Flown by Civilian Air Cadets as part of low altitude navagational training, the aircraft will specifically select small communities to cross in their flight pattern in an attempt to show citizens of Michigan their tax dollars at work, the letter to Christiansen said. The only other planned activity on July 4th will be a special afternoon and evening performance at Sandyland Park. If the flight contingent crosses on schedule, it will occur during the break between the 1:00 p.m. and 6:00 p.m. shows. Bill Miller, a former Barry County Sheriff’s deputy and employee of Norton’s Security Service, has been tem­ porarily employed by Nashville as a substitute police of­ ficer. He was on duty last week to fill in during Sgt. Koetje’s vacation. Members of Nashville’s newly-formed Public Information Committee, designed to explain the proposed new sewer project to local residents, will soon be contacting com­ munity organizations to plan presentation meetings. Anyone wishing more information on the program may contact committee chairman Lonny Kienutske. Other members of the committee are Nelson Brumm, Ray Hinckley, Tom Oleson, and Bart Bracy. Super star Conway Twitty, while appearing here at Sandyland Park June 24th, proved the old adage: “the bigger the star, the nicer they are.” During a hectic 45­ minute autograph signing session following Twitty’s af­ ternoon performance, it became apparent that three crip­ pled children from Grand Rapids would never be able to Super Special TENNIS SHOES Assorted styles and colors SIZES: Infants 8 thru Mens 12 ONE LOW PRICE *2.99 Lowest Price in Years!

Fans clustered around the stage platform, and trailed in a lengthy line back up the bleacher hillside. The three youngsters had sat in the front row during Twitty’s show and longed to have the entertainer’s autograph, but when the crowd mobbed around the star after his final song the children gave up on their hopes. Leaving the park in the family’s travel trailer with thenparents seemed to be their only alternative. The vehicle was nearly ready to depart when park owner Sandy Salyers learned of the situation and alerted Twitty’s manager. As soon as the problem was brought to Twitty’s attention, he immediately went aboard the family’s van to personally speak with three delighted youngsters and present them with the prized signature. The gas shortage had no effect on the crowd that flocked to Sandyland for Twitty’s performance. Folks came from miles around to fill the bleacher seats and dot the hillside with colorful lawn chairs and sun umbrellas. One Grand Rapids couple, new to our area, accidentally got into the traffic line to Charlton Park’s Bluegrass Festival and spent several minutes in line before realizing at the ticket booth they were not at Sandyland. Park personnel gave them directions to Nashville and they arrived in time for Twitty’s first show despite the side-tracking. Excitement filled the air Wednesday as the circus came to town. Youngsters were delighted with the antics of elephants and aerialists and took their grandparents along to share the fun. The 2-ring circus drew good-sized crowds to both the afternoon and evening shows staged on the old ball field west of Main Street. A free menagerie, including a lion, tigers, a leopard, Siberian bear, and monkeys, also at­ tracted much attention outside the big top. Mrs. Helen Furlong of Nashville is home and improved following recent hospitalization in Flint. She had suffered a heart attack while driving home from Pinconning and was admitted to the Cardiac Unit at Me Laren Hospital there, but is making a good recovery. Celebration of the 14th birthday of two cousins, Julie Michelle Murphy and Scot Casterline, grandchildren of Mr. and Mrs. Nate Sheldon of Nashville, was the highlight of a recent weekend gathering of the Sheldon family at Ludington. Hosting the affair were the Sheldon’s son and his wife, Jim and Lori Sheldon. Attending the event, in additiion to Nate and La Duska, were Howard and Natalie Casterline and sons Brian and Scot of Assyria; Gary and Paula Kimble and Julie Michelle Murphy of Morrison Lake; and Julie Ellen Sheldon ofNashville, The menfolk tried their luck fishing on Lake Michigan and some of the family enjoyed watching a gymnasts’ competition staged in a Ludington park. The weather was sunny but chilly enough that the contestants wrapped in blankets between performances. A very welcome visitor at the Hal Phenix home in Nash­ ville is Vallita Lawwill of Chula Vista, California. The young lady, who will be a freshman in high school this fall, once lived here with the Phenix family and attended school in Nashville until the third grade. She and a friend, Dana Ganboeck, flew into petroit on June 16 and will be in Michigan until August 16. Mr. and Mrs. Walt (Betty) Blakely of Nashville has as recent weekend visitors Mr. and Mrs. Clayton Blakely of Apache Junction, Arizona. Clayton and Walt are brothers. The Clayton Blakelys are in Michigan for the summer, spending most of their time at Sterling Heights. Don Joseph of Carl’s Market is recovering very well from recent surgery on his left shoulder. Don was confined, to Sparrow Hospital in Lansing for five days. Released Saturday, he was back in the store on Tuesday though he probably should have been home resting. Instead, the in­ dustrious store owner was busy sacking groceries with one arm. Recent Sunday callers at the home of Mrs. Elsie Cogswell of Nashville were Mrs. Clara Gillispie and Mrs. Ruth Barney, both of Hastings. Mrs. Gladys Histead was able to return to the Nashville Senior Citizens Site last Monday, the first time since returning home after recent surgery at Pennock Hospital. She had been hospitalized one week but is now recovering very well. A stiffened ordinance governing use of village parks is currently under consideration by local officials and may be adopted by the council within the next few weeks. Congratulations to Rev. and Mrs. E.F. Rhoades who will celebrate sixty years of marriage at a Sunday afternoon open house at the Nashville United Methodist Church. The Rhoades were actually married in January 1919, but observe the occasion in July’s warmer weather. Incidentally, Rev. Rhoades will also be celebrating his 90th birthday the same day, July 8, and Mrs. Roades’ birthday also follows in the same week. Rev. Rhoades is a former pastor of the South Maple Grove United Methodist Church (previously Zion Evangelical United Brethem). He served there from 1927 until 1938, left to pastor elsewhere in Michigan, and returned in 1958 to again serve the South Maple Grove church until his retirement. Also noted for his woodworking talents, Rev. Rhoades constructed a half-inch scaled miniature of the 1887 church when he was 86 years old. In 1978 he donated it to the Putnam Public Library where it is now on display in the local history room along with Rhoades’ replicas of a skeletal and completed early-1900’s hip roofed barn. Built to “preserve something of the past”, they are excellent examples of period architecture. Rev. Rhoades’ talent also producted pulpits and communion tables for use in his churches throughout his long years of service. The suffering of early Christians, imprisoned in chains, was illustrated with modern day policeman’s handcuffs to children in Mrs. Amy Putnam’s 1st and 2nd grade vacation Bible school class at United Methodist Church last Tuesday. Sgt. Ronald McDonald of the Michigan State Police and Kendal Wilcox, corrections specialist at Michigan Refor­ matory, gave the demonstration to the wide-eyed youngsters who have been studying about Paul and Silas. (A complete story about the class appears elsewhere in this issue of the Maple Valley News. The date for the excursion to Binder Park and Zoo near Battle Creek by pre-schoolers at the Nashville Baptist Church has been changed from July 2 (as reported last week) to Monday, July 9. The group will include all pre­ school age youngsters, plus winners from the 1st through 3rd grade in the “Winning Every Inning” Sunday School promotion.

Several senior citizens have inquired about the postal foot­ carrier petition currently being circulated in Nashville, since our recent Maj>le Valley News story on the campaign to secure door-to-door mail delivery in Nashville. Helen Curtis, a member of the Nashville Village Council, currently has the original petition but after consulting with the village attorney is in the process of obtaining a legal petition from 3rd District Congressman Howard Wolpe. She has written a letter to Wolpe and enclosed a copy of the Maple Valley News story. When the new petition forms are secured, local citizens who signed the original informal tablet petition will be contacted to sign the new legal petition, if they desire. Scott and Julie, children of Sheryl (Johncock) West of Colorado Springs, Colorado arrived in Nashville last week to visit their grandmother, Mrs. Gloria Johncock, and other local relatives. The children will be spending several weeks in Michigan. A suspected drowning, reported to local law officials last Tuesday evening, led a crowd of onlookers to the North Main Street bridge but divers from the Barry County Sheriffs Department Rescue Unit turned up nothing. Difficulty in locating officers trained for underwater search delayed the diving operation until after 9:00 p.m. Darkening skies and murky waters of the Thomappie River hampered their efforts but a half-hour of diving and dragging turned up nothing in the suspected area. The search was made on the basis of a report from youngsters swimming in the river, who claimed they had touched something—like a body—in diving from the west side of the bridge, near the center piling. Officers checked again Wednesday morning with negative results. A recent trip to Portland, Oregon was a sort of family reunion for Mrs. Gayion (Marie) Fisher of Nashville. She was accompanied on the journey by her granddaughter, Mrs. Pam Lackey of Lake Odessa and Pam’s 17-month-old son, Chris. Marie enjoyed a two weeks visit with her parents, Mr. and Mrs. Frank Smith, former Nashville residents who moved to Oregon in 1952. In addition to the Smiths, Marie had an opportunity to visit her sisters and their families: Sharon and Gordon Helliwell of near Por­ tland, and Madelyn and Marion Davidson of southern Oregon. There were 18 present for a Father’s Day family gathering at the Helliwell home. Mrs. Fisher, Pam and baby Chris returned to Michigan last week. A tour of historic charlton Park will highlight the July 10 meeting of the Nashville Garden Club. A Wednesday noon potluck dinner at the park will proceed the tour. Members should bring a dish to pass, their own table service and drink. Kris Koetje, a 1979 MVHS graduate and daughter of the Eugene Koetjes, will soon start summer employment as a part-time office worker at Nashville’s village hall. The clerical duties will be a prelude to business studies Kris will undertake at Davenport Institute in Grand Rapids this fall. Congratulations to Mr. and Mrs. Kenneth Holden of rural Nashville on the birth of twins at Pennock Hospital, June 19th. Mrs. Holden, the former Marie Steward of Nashville, received her wish of “one of each”-a boy and a girl. She learned about a month ago that twins were on their way. Brian Cecil weighed 5 lbs. 15 ozs., but his sister Amy Sue topped him by half an ounce. Proud grandparents are Mrs. Cecil Steward of Nashville, and Mr. and Mrs. Kenneth Holden, Sr. of Bellevue.

Friends of the class members are invited to stop by the hall later in the evening to visit and reminisce. Conveniently placed bicycle racks and strategically located signs have helped effect a recent ban on bike riding on Main Street sidewalks. Three local ladies were recently elected as part of the new slate of officers for the Barry County chapter of the Association of Retired School Personnel. The organization met last Wednesday for a noon dinner and business meeting at the United Methodist Church Community House in Nash­ ville. Elected as president was Mrs. Hilda Baas.

The circus brings fun and thrills to Nashville Wednesday The circus brought a refreshing change of pace to Nashville from the moment it arrived in town Wednesday for its one-day stand. Residents watched the Circus Genoa crew hoist up the big top with the aid of trained elephants; browsed alongside the cages of the circus' wild animal managerie, and thrilled at a chance to hold a cup of food up to the elephants trunks. Inside the tent, billed as America's second-largest three-ring tent circus, crowds of all ages were entertained during the afternoon and evening performances by clowns, a live brass band, wire walkers, a juggler, acrobat and trapeze stars, aerialists, elephants, ponies, a llama, and more.

A local committee appointed to suggest possible uses of a potential >178,000 U.S. Housing and Urban Development Community Block Grant decided to scrap the bridge project in favor of plans they felt were more publicly acceptable and beneficial to the entire community. The HUD grant is primarily designed to benefit low and moderate income persons in the area comprised of the village of Nashville and the townships of Castleton and Maple Grove. “It appears if we went ahead with the bridge, public sentiment against it would lead to litigation,” com­ mented Justin Cooley, a member of the grant com­ mittee and Supervisor of Castleton Township in which the bridge is located. Proponents of the bridge project had sought 850,000 of the potential 8178,000 HUD community grant to add to federal and state grants which would have paid 90 percent of the 8192,000 construction costs of the bridge. The HUD monies would have been used as local funding to acquire right-of-way and build new bridge approaches. However, Kenneth Washington of Dearborn, owner of the property on which the right-of-way would be located, advised the committee by letter he would not voluntarily make the land available, citing a recent Michigan United Conservation Club on-site report which supported his stand. “He is not willing to sell,” Cooley told the com­ mittee, as he reported on a pre-meeting phone con­ versation with Washington. According to Jack Kineman, Barry County Road Commission engineer­ manager, the present iron truse bridge is on the state’s “critical bridges” list. It is considered too short, too narrow, and has been limited to seven tons load capacity. Opponents of the new bridge have cited what they consider the high cost of the new span for the low traffic volume on the sparsely populated county road. The grants committee suggested they could acquire the Washington property by condemnation proceedings, but rather than jeopardize the entire HUD grant by lengthy litigation they would “wash their hands of the entire bridge project ” After lengthy discussion of several alternative proposals, they chose to tentatively allocate funds from the potential grant, which received pre­ application approval in April, for a variety of community projects. Under the committee’s plan the combined NashvilleCastleton-Maple Grove ambulance department would receive $35,000 for a new structure to house the department. This amount also includes furnishings and an additional $18,000 was proposed for a new am­ bulance and equipment Putnam Public Library, also supported by all three governmental units, would receive $10,000 for im­ provements including a barrier-free entry, storm windows, and foundation repair. A community building to be built on South Durkee Street by Maple Grove Township, on land owned by them within Nashville village limits, would receive $50,000; the Riverside Recreational Development Corp, would be given $25,000 toward construction of a community recreational park in downtown Nashville; the combined local fire department would receive $6,000 for building im­ provements at the fire station; and $10,060 would help construct an asphalt bike and walk path along Reed Street to Carl's Market and also to the new com­ munity building on South Durkee In addition, $7500 was allocated for a professional downtown development plan and engineering survey; $1,200 designated to improve a road to historical Quaker Cemetery in Maple Grove Township; and $16,000 would aid low income families with sewer hookups to Nashville proposed new collection system and treatment facility. The HUD Block grant, if approved could also include $210,000 for low income housing rehabilitation in the community and $25,000 for county administration of the program. “We could do 35 homes straight out," Sylvia Dulaney, Barry County Grants Coordinator, told the committee Monday. “We do look at each home in­ dividually." Each qualified homeowner could receive certain im­ provements, totaling ap­ proximately $6,000. to his dwelling. That project could take two years to complete, Dulaney said. She advised the committee that a survey showed fortyfive percent of the Nashville community are considered low* or moderate income people. Dulaney will file the final HUD grant application, listing specific priority projects, by June 30. Serving on the local grant committee, chaired by Maple Grove Township Supervisor Ted McKelvey are: Justin Cooley, Castleton Township Supervisor; Harold Christiansen, Nash­ ville Village President; Albert Bell.

By Susan Hinckley Grand glorious ‘n celebration of the 4th of July began in Nashville well over 100 years ago but the first is not recorded, for the gala patriotic events predate regularly published news in the village. Just nine shortt months after 19-year-old Orno began Strong publication of the Nashville News in the autumn of 1873, he wrote of Nashville’s plans for the annual event. (A small advertising sheet called The Morning Star was published in the village in 1861 but the paper, edited by John Milton Roe, flourished but a short time). “Arrangements for Nashville’s grand 4th of July celebration are practically completed,” wrote Strong in late June 1874, his first year to cover the gala affair. Capt. L.C. Boise had been appointed Marshal of the Day and would be assisted by G. W. McCormick, F. M. Quick of Maple Grove, and Jesse Jordan of Woodland, the report noted. The following year, in 1875, Strong gave a detailed financial account in writing of a successful holiday observance. “E. R. White, treasurer of the 4th of July celebration committee, reports that $171.75, the whole amount collected from the merchants, was expended for the affair. Largest item was $63.60 for fireworks; the Cornet Band received $40; printing amounted to $72.50 and the rest went mainly for prizes.” But the next year, in 1876, Nashville witnessed the grandest patriotic celebration to date, as the USA observed the 100th year since the signing of the of InDeclaration dependence. Centennial Fourth of July arches were strung across Deadline Notice!

On the dawning Of the big day, Nashville was rousted with a 38-gun salute-one volley for every state of the Union. But the weather was somewhat less than perfect, at least to start the day. “The morning of the 4th opened gloomy and lowering enough,” observed Strong, “as the citizenry for miles around were awakened by the roar of cannon, ringing of bells and shriek of steam whistles.” Notwithstanding several morning showers, the streets were thronged with people when skies cleared for the morning parade headed by Feighner’s martial band, followed by 45 teams pulling “gorgeously decorated rigs.” “The car of the Goddess of Liberty, con­ taining 38 pretty ladies, representing the 38 states of the Union was a sight to behold,” noted Strong. An additional 150 teams joined the procession which ended with speeches and en­ tertainment. Estimates by “competent judges” set the crowd at 5,000 by mid-afternoon, which was close to twice the size of the crowd in Hastings at that time, the News claimed. Races and sporting events filled the day and in the evening there were fireworks, dances and general merriment. “Verily, it was a great day in Nashville,” concluded the News account of the village’s Centennial celebration. a URltll Simon Pharmacy ® PHONE 852-0845 NASHVILLE Theragran-M LE 130 Tablets Rea. ’6.98 OZ. tube ASPERCREME Reg. ’2.57 $C19 — — COUPON - ” — SALE... developing and printing II KODACOLOR FILM II II I 20 EXPOSURE O99I II COLOR PRINT FILM 12 EXPOSURE $199 j !■ Regular 4.99 I One roll per coupon JL -—“COUPON—— developing & printing mm $4 £ | Regular 31. .39 BBS Ono roll par coupon COUPON MUST ACCOMPANY ORDER Offer good thru July 9th COUPON MUST ACCOMPANY ORDER Offer good thru July 9th New Dry Cleaning Service « Dry Cleaning Pick-Up Station WILL PICK-UP AND DELIVER EVERY TUES. &THURS. ...AT APPROX. 5:00 P.M. — STORE HOURS — We are open Monday-Friday 9 a.m. to 6 p.m.; Sat. 9 to 1 PHARMACIST ALWAYS ON DUTY Patriotic themes prevailed in Nashville's early 4th of July parades which predated Decoration Day observances but, like them, ended with cemetery orations.

(Photo loaned, courtesy Mr. and Mrs. Lorin Lor Garlinger) 'A July 4th performance by strong man Prof. Merrill (in present-day Central Park) drew throngs to Main Street in 1906, but his feats did not equal the entertainment caused by mishap when four men climbed atop the McLaughlin Block (present-day Baby Bliss, left of stage in photo) to end Nashville's celebration in a spectacular, though unexpected, blaze of glory. Perhaps the success of the event explains the influx of people to Nashville for the following year’s celebration. “The 101st anniversary of American Independence was a grand ‘n glorious day in Nashville,” reported Strong. “We were awakened by the firing of guns and ringing of bells, and early in the morning people began coming from all directions.” The 7:45 train from the west was loaded with folks from Hastings and other points. Shortly after 9:00 a.m. the first Red Ribbon delegation, composed of 42 teams from Maple Grove, arrived in town. The Meadville and Castleton clubs arrived soon after, the later comprising 55 teams, each displaying colorful banners. Soon the entire company formed a giant parade, headed by the Cornet Band, and marched to the cemetery to listen to patriotic speeches-a sort of forerunner to Decoration Day. Two years later, an added Nashville attraction on the Fourth was a basebay game between the “Farmer Boys” of Maple Grove and the “Heavy Batters” of Woodland. Independence Day celebrations continued att a steady pace through 1880, when more than $300 was subscribed by local mer­ chants and others toward the event. “Nashville this year will have the greatest 4th of July celebration in the history of Barry County,” bragged Strong in late June. G.A. Truman had been chosen President of the Day and committees had been named tojook after various features of the gala affair. “There will be, among , otherg things, gs, no less than four bowery dances,” advised the News. Again, Strong was correct. An estimated 5,000 people packed Nashville for an exciting holiday filled with contests and games, in­ cluding foot races, horse racing and “such mirth­ provoking contests as a bun­ eating affair which was won by unnamed gentleman of African extraction believed to be from Battle Creek.” But another year passed and, by 1881, the spirit of the village seemed radically changed. “With Nashville for once laying aside the fatiguing and thankless task of promoting an Independence Day celebration, local residents for the most part spent the 4th at Thornapple _ Lake, where both Morgan and Thornapple offered special inducements,” Strong told his readers.

And a very special treat was noted: “At Thornapple, the steamer, "Gem”, was kept busy all day carring gay parties around the lake.” But there were a few problems to be faced. “Crowds at both places were larger than anticipated and by evening everything edible was gone and many were forced to go home to assuage their hunger.” Some 20 years passed and the village was still celebrating the holiday, enmasse, at Thornapple. July 1902: “There was nothing doing in Nashville on the Fourth. The streets were deserted...practically threefourths of the population appeared to be out at Thornapple Lake, enjoying the cool breezes, and excellent fishing.” July 1904: “Nashville will not have a celebration on the Fourth...there will be a general exodus from town to Thornapple Lake where there will be ball games and fireworks in the evening, in addition to boating, bathing and fishing throughout the day.” July 1905: “Nashville was quiet on the Fourth with what seemed like two-thirds of the town’s population at Thornapple Lake...” What inspired Nashville residents to again tackle the “fatiguing and thankless task” of staging their own celebrations is unknown but in 1906 the custom was revived with success: “Nashville’s 4th of July celebration was a hummer in every particular, with perfect weather and large crowds.

She missed the school hurdles record by one-tenth of a second. Girls track coach Michelle Skivera said Marks did well in post-season competition in several meets. She scored the only points for the Lions in the state regional mee,pacng sixth meet,placing sx in n thee d*scus throw. Marks was the only Maple Valley athlete, boy or girl, invited to the Honor Roll of Champions meet in Lansing where she placed eighth in the discus. Marks was also invited to the Detroit Free Press girls invitational meet where she was ranked 30th and placed 13th among 60 discus throwers. “Maple Valley will build on the talent of Marks and several talented sophomores and freshmen next year and we expect to be a powerhouse in conference competition,” coach Skivera said. Many families cannot tolerate open expressions of grief. They will say, For your own good, don't cry so much." Translated, it means, When you cry you upset me and I can't tolerate your grief." A grief counsellor will encourage the mourner to cry openly and to discuss any aspect of the deceased's life. This has a healing effect.

Sgt Ronald McDonald of Michigan State Police, Hastings team post, and Kendal Wilcox, corrections specialist at the Michigan Reformatory in Ionia, were invited to visit the class to add reality to the children’s Bible study ofPaul and Silas, who were arrested and jailed for preaching Christianity. An earthquake freed the imprisoned men but they refused to flee, thus saving the life of their guard who was contemplating suicide because he feared punish- ment for their escape. In­prisoners stead, the befriended the guard and their devotion so impressed him and his family that they were converted to Christianity. Each of the 11 children present in Mrs. Putnam’s class had the opportunity to be handcuffed by Sgt. McDonald. “We don’t use handcuffs on boys and 'girls,” Mc­ Donald told the youngsters during the demonstration, “Mostly we use them on adults.” Wilcox explained the difference between chain-connected prison cuffs, which allow more arm movement, and standard policeman’s cuffs.

McDonald used the op­ portunity to explain the dangers of children playing with guns or bullets that may be in their homes. “Even a bullet alone, without a gun, can be dangerous,” McDonald told the wide-eyed youngsters. “If your Mommies of Daddies have guns or bullets at home you should never touch them.” Members of the class present for the event were William Gatchell, Steve Martin, Katie Smith, Jason Abendroth, Heidi Reese, Cara Spoelstra, David Nickel, Kris Hulsebos, Tim Bracy, Lisa Guy and Glen Gorodenski. Absent for the day was Angie Smith. Assisting Mrs. Putnam with her class was Diane Andrews. Felonious Firearms - The state Supreme Court has upheld our 1976 law which sets mandatory jail terms for carrying a gun while committing a felony. This reverses the Court of Appeals, which had held that the law was unconstitutional. Health Head - The Senate will vote this week to confirm Frank Ochberg as the new Director of the troubled Mental Health Department. He said he would like to see more patients deinstitutionalized and better relations with the public. Discharge Defeat - The Senate has defeated a rarely-used move to discharge a bill from committee. The bill in question was SB 157, which limits state funding for abor­ tions, but the vote was mainly on the issue of taking a bill away from a committee. Primary Prognosis r Because our present Presidential Primary procedures are in conflict with the Democrats’ national party rules, HB 4520 and SB 540 would require voters to state their party preference before voting; HB 4392 would abolish the Presidential Primary altogether. Governor Milliken has said he would prefer no primary to one requiring party declaration. I will oppose maintenance of our current presidential primary system. Loophole Lesgislation? - The Senate will soon vote on SB 460, which is drawn to implement the section of the Headlee Amendment which says the state must pay for all costs mandated to local governments. A local-government spokesman says the bill contains loopholes which allow increased local costs, contradicting the intent of the Headlee Amendment. I will support elimination of the loopholes. Searches Stripped - The House will soon vote on HB 4639, which defines and limits body-cavity searches and strip­ searches ofpeople who are arrested. Such searches could be conducted only on the belief that weapons or evidence are concealed; law enforcement officers or their employees who violate the restrictions could be charged with a misdameanor. Medical Marijuana - Now in the House is SB 185, which would allow the use of marijuana for cancer and glaucoma patients. The drug has been proven useful in controlling side effects of cancer chemotherapy and in reducing eye pressures of glaucoma, which can lead to blindness. Prison Proposals - The Corrections Commission has recommended 15 new prisons for the state, with five regional ones to be built in the near future. The Governor has proposed spending $404 million over the next several years for such prison construction. Sagging Spending - The Advisory Commission on In­ tergovernmental Relations reports that government spending as a percentage of gross national product appears to have peaked in 1975. But state and local taxes, and em­ ployee numbers, have increased faster than at the federal level. When you want results.. . . . give our classified department a call!

Mrs. Esta Day of Nashville enjoyed Sunday dinner at Shranks recently when her family gathered in Battle Creek to honor the birthday of her daughter, Mrs. Phyllis Hoffman. Present at the event, in addition to Phyllis and her husband George, who live in Battle Creek, were Stewart and Janice Day of Hastings; Eldon and Wilma Day of Nashville; and Carl and Virginia Gasser of Battle Creek. Following the dinner, the family returned to the Hoffman home for cake and ice cream.

Mrs. Ray Pennock ofNashville, taken to Pennock Hospital by ambulance June 22, is reported improved though still confined at this writing. When our “Memories” feature in the Northeast Birthday Circle appeared in the Maple Valley News last week, Mrs. Royce (Roberta) De Mond did a double take-for a double reason. First, the “unidentified home” in the background of the group photo is her home (the De Monds live in a mobile home on the Gardner Road property but are restoring the house). Secondly-and most amazingly-only one day before the paper arrived Roberta had been rummaging through some old mementos and ran across the very same photo (she had no idea we were doing a story on the club). Imagine her astonishment to open the Maple Valley News Tuesday and see the identical photo she had chanced to find Monday. Roberta’s copy of the photo had been given to her by the late Ethel Snore, but only a few of the ladies were identified. The photo we used for publication was loaned by Nina Garlinger, a circle member and former local resident now of Grand Rapids. She was able to identify everyone in the picture. Mrs. De Mond was able to shed some light on the background of the home, which, at the time the 1915 photo was taken, belonged to the McClellands. Celeste Me Clelland was a circle member, shown in the picture. In 1932 Roberta’s father, Robert De Camp, purchased the property. The section of the home shown in the photo was the “well house”, Roberta remembers, and it was used as a summer kitchen. There, food was stored in large water tanks as a substitute for refrigeration. The water was then gravity-fed to outdoor troughs for the livestock. The Vic­ torian gingerbread trim is gone from the entryway, shown in the photo, but the colored glass windows have been preserved. Roberta recalls the farm earlier belonged to the Lockhart family. Incidentally, the circle still exists today under the name of “Good Cheer Birthday Club”, and Roberta is a member. Retired School personnel meeting heldThe Barry County Association Retired School Personnel met June 27 at Nashville Methodist Church, Nashville. A delicious miniature meat loaf dinner was served by the ladies of the Church to 70 members and guests. In respect to the celebrating of children the theme “International Year Child” Lois Roush presented her slides of her work over 8 years in Thailand, China; Japan and India.

Antique gasoline engines will be cranked into action this Saturday and Sunday, July 14 & 15, at Charlton Park’s eighth annual An­ tique Gasoline Engine Show. Stationary and traction engines will be on exhibit and operating equipment from 10-5 each day. The show illuminates the impact of the mechanical revolution of the late 19th century on rural America. That’s when horsepower generated by steam and gasoline engines took over from the four-footed kind, and America became the wonder of the industrial and agricultural worlds. Antique Antique engines engines will will be be operating equipment in­ cluding corn grinders and shelters, grist mills, buzz saws and drag saws. Wood shingles will be turned out with power provided . by a 1925 Baker Threshing Steam Engine. Several unique engines will be exhibited in the show. They include an 1897 Olds Flame Ignitor, designed by R.E. Olds of REO and Oldsmobile fame and a Rumely Oil-Pull Tractor built in Battle Creek by a company that became part of Allis-Chalmers. A fully restored 1935 D John Deere tractor will be on hand and an ancient 1916 Avery tractor will be running. It is one of the very few of this make still in operation. Gasoline power made life a little easier for the ladies at the turn of the century, too, as evidenced by the primitive washing machines that are part of the display. A Flea Market including a general line of housewares and crafts will be included in the show on Sunday. Daily events include a parade of antique tractors at 2:00 P.M., followed by a Quick-Start Competition, a Slow Race to determine which tractor can deliver power at the slowest speed and a thrilling Tractor­ Teeter-Totter contest. An obstacle race will also be held. All events occur in the environs of an authentic Michigan village of the late 19th century that has been re-constructed on the banks of the Thornapple River, just off Highway M-79 between Hastings and Nashville. Picnic and recreation areas are part of the complex. Admission to the all-day event is $2.00 for adults, fifty cents for children under 12 and preschoolers are free. Charlton Park is a unique complex and truly at its best when the old village comes to life, awakened by the pop­ pops, put-puts and roars that propelled the country into unrivaled productivity less than a century ago. Antique tractors will parade around the village at 2:00 p.m. this Saturday and Sunday, July 14 & 15 at Chariton Park's eighth annual Anitque Gasoline Engine Show. The event, which runs from 10:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. each day, features antique engines operating old farm equipment such as corn grinders and shelters, grist mills, buzz saws and drag saws. Charlton Park, including a reconstructed nineteenth century rural village, is located bewteen Hastings and Nashville, off M-79. �Th» MopW Volley New* No»hv»Ue. Wednetdoy July 11. 1V79 — Poo* 2 Nashville News Construction at Nashville’s long-awaited business district parking lot got underway last Thursday when heavy equipment began grading the strip west of the Main Street stores, from Washington to near Sherman Street. Traffic was routed away from the area and several more-or-less abandonded autos had to be towed from the scene so work ccom lomId begin. Duane Hamilton has the job of grading and leveling the lot. The old asphalt topping, blotchy and full of potholes, was tom out in the. operation and a new blacktopped surface will be applied by Rietb-Riley Construction of Battle Creek. Village officials expect the parking lot job to be completed this summer at the same time Cleveland, Middle, and the east end of Sherman Street are recapped. Pale mustard-colored paint is brightening the extenor of the new “old-fashioned general store” being created on Nashville’s Main Street by Hastings attorney David Dim­ mers. The enterprise, located in the former Johnson Warehouse building south of the bank, will house Dimmers’ collection of antique stare fixtures. When the restoration iss completed, merchandise typical of an early general store win be offered for sale-with the store open a limited number of hours at first. The busy lawyer and his family are doing the restoration work themselves, mostly evenings and weekends. Recent Sunday callers at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Joseph Tegel of Nashville were Mr. and Mrs. Jay Smith of Fulton. Visiting last week at the home of Mrs. Esther Buckley of Nashville was her sister, Mrs. Grace Moored of Climax. Enjoying 4th of July horse racing at the Lake Odessa Fair were Mrs. Esther Buckley, Mrs. Grace Moored, Mrs. Viola Beystrum and her sister, Mrs. Edna McConnell, a former village resident now of Battle Creek. Brian Beystrum of Lancaster, California is spending the summer in Nashville with his grandmother, Mrs. Viola Beystrum. The recent Kalamazoo Klassic, a 10,000 meter run, drew several Nashville entrants when members of the local “Open Bible Running Club” participated in the event. Don Roscoe, assistant pastor at Nashville Baptist Church and founder of the running club, finished in place 146 among 600 competitors. Roscoe’s time was 40 minutes and 58 seconds. The Open Bible Running Club is currently meeting each Saturday at 9:00 a.m. at the Nashville Baptist Church. The club, now comprised of fifteen members, is open to any area Christians interested in running or jogging, and both men and women are welcome to join.

Children attending the recent Vacation Bible School at the United Methodist Church presented a program Friday evening, June 29, as a conclusion of their week-long studies. Following the presentation, refreshments were served in the Community House at the church. Mrs. Herbert (Phyllis) Frith of Nashville returned home last Thursday from Pennock Hospital, where she had recently undergone surgery, and is recovering well. The Council on Ministries of the United Methodist Church will meet at 7:00 p.m. Tuesday, July 17, followed by 8:00 p.m. meeting of the Administrative Board. Both meetings will be at the church.

The village DPW crew had the north side of Sherman Street, between Cleveland and Lentz, pretty well torn up last week to install a storm sewer line. It is hoped the new line will help alleviate deterioration of the roadway caused by the lack of such a drain in that area. Mrs. Fred (Marguerite) Ackett of Nashville is pleased to announce the arrival of a new great-grandson, bom June 29 to Mr. and Mrs. Byron Satterly of Sterling Heights. Byron is Mrs. Ackett’s grandson. The new baby, who weighed in at 9 lbs. 3 ozs., has been named Brent Byron. Thursday’s sunny skies and mild temperatures provided a perfect day for members of the Cloverleaf Class of the United Methodist Church to meet for a potluck dinner at Putnam Park. “Standpipe hill” in Putnam Park has been swept clean of brush by five boys employed by the CETA Summer Youth program, and working under the direction of Harold Christiansen, village president and volunteer park caretaker. An immense amount of undergrowth has been cut and cleared from the area, leaving the hillside in a condition somewhat reminiscent ofNashville’s earlier years when tiie hill was sparsely dotted with small saplings. Now, of course, the trees have grown tall and spread con­ siderably, but it is pleasant to be able to walk the hillside again. While the young men employed under CETA were busy cleaning the hillside and doing a variety of other tasks at the park, three young ladies hired for the village under the same program were also busy on various projects. Tuesday, the girls gave the shrubbery surrounding Putnam Library a much-needed trim job. The decision on whether the 1892 water tower in Putnam Park will utimately be demolished is still in the hands of the village council, and hinges on allocation of funds for the immense undertaking. The old standpipe, long considered a Nashville landmark, has been standing empty since van­ dalism early this year left the 84,000 gallon tank empty and in potential hazard of collapse due to the deteriorated condition of its concrete and stone foundation. The Golden Agers of the United Methodist Church will meet Friday, July 13, for a noon potluck dinner at the United Methodist Church Community House. Condolences to the family of Mrs. Carl (Ada) Gillons of Hastings, who passed away last Monday at Pennock Hospital. Local survivors include her daughter, Mrs. Leah Phillips of rural Nashville, and her granddaughter, Mrs. Richard (Lois) Elliston of the village, and great­ grandchildren. Mrs. Gillons passed away just two days after the wedding of her great-granddaughter, Cheryl Elliston to Johnny Hartwell on Saturday, June 30. She was unable to attend the ceremony due to failing health. The Elliston-Hartwell nuptials were solemnized at the Nashville United Methodist Church in a lovely setting decorated in blue and white, a color theme which also prevailed at a large reception held at the local V.F.W. Hall following the afternoon ceremony. An attractive and most unusual wedding cake, made by the bride’s mother, highlighted the event. Standing more than three feet tall, the 3-tiered center cake was supported on columns over a miniature blue fountain. On either side of the large cake were smaller 2-tiered cakes, also columned supported, with miniature stairways arching to the center cake. Posed on one flight of the stairs were miniature bridesmaids gowned in blue and, on the other, blue-suited groomsmen. All ap- By Susan Hinckley peared to be ascending toward a miniature bride and groom topping the large cake. Mrs. Elliston spent more than 12 hours decorating the masterpiece, which was also festooned with lacy filigree, miniature doves, and wedding rings. (This is not counting time required to prepare and bake the cake.) Incidentally, she also found time to sew many of the garments worn by the honor attendants at her daughter s wedding. Jul.y 16th, the Nominating Committee of the United On July Methodist Church will meet at 7:00 p.m. at the parsonage to line up officers for the new 1980 church year. Karen Gardner of Nashville and Richard Mallison of Hastings were united in marriage Saturday afternoon, July 7, at the home of the bride’s parents. She is the daughter of Duane and Janet Gardner of Guy Road. Also to be married in a home ceremony, set for Saturday the 21st, are Mark Barton and Anne Dressel, both of Nashville. The 5 p.m. wedding will take place at the home of the groom’s parents, the Melvin Bartons of S. Clark Road. Bored youngsters may find happiness and enlightenment at the weekly “Children’s Story Hour" which starts today, July 10, and continues through July 31. Between the hour of 10:30 and 11:30 a.m. each Tuesday morning, the children will be treated to films, story telling, and games, all based on the t theme “Mysteries.” The youngsters will be divided into three age groups under the direction of Mrs. Merry Lee Ossenheimer. Registration is not necessary; youngsters need only be present at the library Tuesday morning to be included in the planned activities. The village DPW crew has installed forms and will soon be pouring concrete for a short section of curbing on the north side of Reed Street, near Main. The project is preparatory to planned resurfacing of a one-block portion of Reed. College-aged youths from the Nashville Baptist Church have formed a new class, called “Wisdom in Truth”, which meets at 6:00 p.m. every Sunday evening at the church. A variety of activities is planned by the young adultss throughout the summer and fall months. On July 14, the class has slated a “Tom Sawyer Day” at Charlton Park, for a time t of games, good food and fellowship. The class is open to any young Christian adults in the area, between the ages of 18-25, and more information can be obtained by attending a meeting of the group. Senior high youths of the Nashville Baptist Church are looking forward to a July 20th through 22nd weekend of camping and canoeing near Grayling. Mr. and Mrs. Lawrence Friddle of rural Nashville enjoyed attending the June 30th wedding of grandson David Friddle of Nashville to Linda Meyers of Lansing. The Saturday afternoon ceremony, held in the 1885 Carlton Center Church at Charlton Park, was followed by a reception at the Maple Leaf Grange near Nashville. The Friddle-Meyers nuptials at the historic church at Charlton Park had extra special meaning to the groom, son of the Paul Friddles of Cloverdale Road. David’s great­ grandfather, the late Samuel White, was superintendant of the church when it sat on its original site near Charlton Center. And his grandfather, the late Clare White, was baptized in the church at that location. The structure was moved intact to the park in 1972 and restored as a typical rural church of the late 19th century. Originally a Methodist Church, it is now non-denominational. Home for two weeks, for the wedding of her brother, was Martha Friddle of Missoula, Montanna. She is a missionary at the Rocky Mountain Bible Mission there. The wedding of their son, Jerrald Reid to Kay Pant of Nashville, also kept Clarence and Margaret Reid busy the weekend proceeding the Fourth. Friday evening, Margaret and Mrs. Jean Reid hosted a grocery shower for the bride at the Clarence Reid home.

The Sunday afternoon Reid-Pant wedding at the Nashville Baptist Church was followed by a reception at the Maple Leaf Grange Hall. And things probably will continue to remain rather hectic for the Reids, at least temporarily. This week the new bridegroom is expected to undergo abdominal surgery at Butterworth Hospital in Grand Rapids to correct a chemical imbalance in his system. Jerry expects to be hospitalized about one week following the operation. On the 4th of July, Clarence and Margaret Reid enjoyed a t trip to Kalamazoo to visit Clarence ece’’ss cousi, cousin, W Walter and Myrtle Hunter of Ft.

However, the later years need not be unpleasant, according to the author of three newly released Ex­ tension publications by Anne K. Soderman, of MSU’s Dept, of Family and Child Sciences. Maintaining independence, adjusting to retirement and coping with loss in the later years are described in the series. The author says that in­ dependence is related to financial security, alter­ natives in housing and transportation, health care and available community services. It is also related to attitudes about exercising control in those important areas. When people feel they are independent and in control of their lives, they feel good about themselves they have high self-esteem. There are ways to guard against “retirement shock.” This is the loss-of self-esteem some people experience when they give up their work roles and find they cannot handle the leisure time on Phone 945-9554 for ACTION ADS their hands. In talking about coping with loss, Soderman describes common stages in the grief process and lists ways people can deal with their own losses and help others deal with grief.

Boise’s Drug Store (presentday Simon Pharmacy) and became the earliest of a multitude of healing medications dispensed from what is now Nashville’s oldest continuous business in the same location. “Put a teaspoonful in a wine glass full of water and use as a gargle every 2-3 hours,” instructed an Oc­ tober 26, 1885 order now preserved in an early scrapbook file at the phar­ macy. Annotated as the 16th order filled at the new store, the presciption cost the sum of 25 cents. Legible ingredients included tincture of feric chloride, potassium chloride and zinc sulfate diluted with distilled water. Most of the early prescriptions were written by Dr. Goucher. (There were two colorful doctors named Goucher in Nashville’s past. The elder, C.W., held forth as a physician in Maple Grove, though he could scarcely read or write, according to memories of the late Lew Lentz reported in a 1948 issue of the Nashville News. “Young Joe (J.T.) Goucher was more of a doctor than his father, having gone away to medical school,” noted that report. Lentz remembered him as a “Likeable fellow, rather a hard drinker with a roving eye,” continued the News story which recounted young Goucher’s con­ troversial 1888 trial and conviction on charges he attempted to rob a grave at Barryville, and his sub­ sequent sentence to a year of hard labor at Jackson State Prison.

Of all his fond memories of the pharmacy, perhaps the moist unusual Douse recalls is a “human fly” who came to Nashville in the 1930*s,, boasting he would scale the face of the tallest building on Main Street. Selecting the drug store, and using only his hands and tennis-shoed feet, the daredevil suc­ cessfully completed his mission. Story by Susan Hinckley Area counties included in senior citizen survey •During the month of July, local providers of services for senior citizens will be conducting a survey of senior citizens in a five county region: Barry, Branch, Calhoun, Kalamazoo, and St. Joseph counties. The survey is supported by the South­ central Michigan Com­ mission on Aging and is designed to solicit seniors’ perceptions of the problems experience. Inthey formation of this type will be used to make planning decisions regarding the use of resources to improve the lives of senior citizens in the region. Interviewers will be calling telephone numbers in a random fashion and ad­ ministering a questionaire which takes about twenty minutes to complete. The following agencies will be conducting the survey in their respective counties: Barry County Commission on Aging (Barry County); Branch County Commission on Aging (Branch County); Calhoun County Office on' Aging (Calhoun County); Senior Services, Inc. (Kalamazoo County); St. Cub Scout swim party draws Joesph County Commission on Aging (St. Joseph County). The Southcentral Michigan Commission on Aging has adopted the position that senior citizens should enjoy a high degree of participation in the planning of resource allocation. This survey is one attempt to maximize that participation. Riteway WOODSTOVE — DEALER — 517-852-1543 large crowd! Tuesday afternoon, 54 folks gathered at Meade’s for the Cub Scout swim meet.

The King family lives on a 120-acre farm and raises 54,000 egg laying hens so Kelli had a chance to learn all about the operation of a chicken business by taking part in the everyday work while she was there. Some of the highlights of Kelli’s trip included a visit to Hershey’s Park and Chocolate World and a tour of the Gettysburg Battlefield which included the electric map, Battlefield Tower and the Civil War Wax Museum. She also enjoyed an agricultural tour to view Harrison’s Swine and Sheep Farm, Hanover Shoe Farm, Robel Acres Dairy Farm, Nunda Fruit Farms, and Utz Potato Qhip Factory. Part of the journey in­ cluded a sightseeing tour of Washington D.C. where the 4-H exchange youth had a group photo taken with Congressman Howard Wolpe on the Capital steps. The 4Hers visited the Washington Monument, Smithsonian Institute, Arlington Cemetery, and the National 4-H Center. The experience was the first half of a two-year ex­ change program between Eaton County and Adams County, Pennsylvania. Next year, Kelli and her family will host an exchange youth at their home. Kelli, 15, has been a member of the Maple Valley Riders 4-H Club for five years. She is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Henry Cowell of Brown Road. Kelli Cowell was one of 43 youth from Eaton County to participate in a 4-H exchange program to visit Adams County, Pennsylvania.

Spool knitting, a lost art today, was revived in Ver­ montville Saturday during the first of a series of old time craft classes to be held at the old Academy building this month. Materials needed to start spool knitting are simple household items, which point out the practicality of the pioneers. An empty wooden spool from mom or grandma’s sewing box and four small nails hammered into the top to hold the yarn in place are all that’s needed to get you going. A crochet needle may be used to work with the yarn, but if you don’t have one, a rounded toothpick will work fine, said Mrs. Esther Ommen who taught the Cont. pg. 9 — Action Ads LOST: On North Ionia Rd.

Mrs. Ommen's husband recalls that about 60 years ago the craft was taught in school and both boys and girls participated in learning to spool knit. The finished product of a spool knitter resembles a dainty chain. It can be used to tie back your hair (in place of ribbons); or used for loops when you’re working with large buttons; or it can be stitched together to use as a hot pad. Little girls also have been known to use the yarn chains in a variety of ways while playing with their dolls. Adding to the atmosphere at the Saturday afternoon craft class is the historical setting. The group of youngsters sit around a table in the middle of the old Academy, surrounded by artifacts from Ver­ montville’s past. The Ionia FREE Fair building is a state historical site and serves as a museum of local history. The craft classes are the idea of a committee com­ prised. of Vermontville Historical Society members whose efforts are making the museum a focal point of interest this summer. In keeping with tradition, the museum is open to the public from 2-5 p.m. each Saturday this month. Other activities for children will be held from 2-4 p.m. during the remaining Saturdays in July. Colonial samplers will be taught next Saturday (July 14) to children in third grade and above. Lessons in crocheting and tatting will be held both July 21 and 28 for children in seventh grade and above. There is no charge for the lessons and all materials will be furnished.

HAIRDESIGNERS Three Eaton County youths, Paul Martzke, Sue Holben, and Karen Woodman, will be in attendance when Michigan State University hosts the annual state 4-H Dog Show, July 21. Each year, hundreds of 4-H’ers from throughout the state bring the dogs they have trained to the MSU campus to compete in a variety of obedience, showmanship, leader dog puppy and tracking classes. The dogs don’t have to be purebred for the show, and this show gives 4-H members the opportunity to demonstrate the skills they have taught their dogs. Judges for the fifteen obedience classes will evaluate each dog’s abilities to perform tasks ranging from obeying simple commands to jumping hurdles. A tracking class will test dog’s ability to follow a scent on a complicated course. Tracking certificates will be awarded to the owners of the dogs which successfully complete the course. In other classes, handlers will display their showmanship skills and leader dog puppies will demonstrate the basic skills they need before they enter advanced training to become leader dogs for the blind. The 4-H dog project emphasizes proper feeding, care and training of dogs, as well as showing them. In addition to the dog’s ability the judge will also look at how well the dog is taken care of and how well the dog and owner work together. The show is open to the public at no charge. Activities run from 9 a.m. to5 p.m. at the MSU Livestock Pavilion, located at the corner of Shaw and Farm Lane on the MSU campus.

Posegate. Children may close their eyes to advice but they open their eyes to example! The most important part of ccutworm control in the home garden is early detection. If you don’t know cutworms are present until they’ve mowed down half your plants, you’ve just about lost the battle before you’ve begun to fight. According to Ed Grafius, Extension entomologist at Michigan State University, detecting the pests before you plant or as soon as they begin to munch on new transplants and tender, important seedlings is because the caterpillars can be so destructive. “Thee cuworms cutworms youre you’re likely to have in your garden in late May and early June are subterranean cutworms that damage crops by clipping them off at or just he exbelow soil level,” h plains. “They are out and about just as transplants are being put out and seedlings are coming up, when the plants are most susceptible to any kind of damage. Climbing cutworms, which climb up the plants to feed are usually less of a problem in vegetable gardens than on young fruit trees and grapes, for instance, where they can do a great deal of damage to developing buds.” Part of the problem in preventing cutworm damage is that cutworms work nights. They spend the day in the soil around the bases of your plants, emerging at night to do their dirty work. So, unless you go out in the garden at night with a flashlight or dig around the base of damaged plants, you may never see the worms themselves--just the damaged plants. Deadline Notice! During summer months display and want-ads deadline will be Sat. at 1 o'clock — Maple Valley News — From Col. 3 mends making cutworm collars from soup cans - cut the tops and bottoms out- or strips of cardboard formed into cylinders. Place a collar around each transplant or seedling so that two to three inches of it stands above the soil surface and an inch or two extends into the soil to keep it in place. “Having cutworms last year doesn’t mean you’re going to have them this year,” Grafius observes. “The adults are very mobile and are just as likely to fly away and lay their eggs somewhere else. Of course, there’s nothing to stop others from flying in and laying their eggs in your garden, so the key to preventing damage is early detection.” Obituaries Francis M. Shetenhelm John J.

The monies were transferred to another worthwile community project last week when they were donated to the Riverside Recreational Development Corp., a group of local folks dedicated to construction of softball diamonds and other recreational facilities west of the Main Street stores. Grant monies are also currently being sought for the park project. The “Save the Mill” committee had been formed in 1974 in a proposed effort to restore the old mill as a museum but the group disbanded when the structure was subsequently razed by the village. Most of the funds raised by the committee came from a public drive for contributions, plus proceeds of “Small Town Festivals” sponsored by the Nashville Chamber of Com­ merce in the summer of 1974 and 1975. A word of welcome for a newcomer to our village—Mrs. Bernice Engle of Kalamazoo. She is the mother of Richard Engle of Nashville and has taken up residence in the new apartment complex on Lentz Street. Mrw. Engle had been a lifelong resident of Kalamazoo until her recent move here and is looking forward to becoming acquainted with Nash­ ville folks.

Seems that William Niehous, the Toledo executive rescued after more than three years as a prisoner of Communist guerillas in Venezuela, was a former neighbor of the Fullers. “We have known the Niehous family for many years back,” wrote Fuller. “We lived a short distance from them before we built our present home about 18 years ago.” Fuller’s wife, Eliner—a Toledo native—remembers William as a kid, and Fuller explained that Niehouse has had an eye problem since he was young. His eyes appear to be turned somewhat in recent TV photos, and Fuller said that was because Niehous had been without eyeglasses since his abduction in February 1976. Fuller also noted that Niehouse received an $11. cut and styling of his shoulder-length hair, as a gift of a Toledo barber, the day following his return to the USA and reunion with his family. Niehous had let his lock grow while in captivity as a per­ sonal rebellion against his captors, according to the detailed and fascinating news reports from the Toledo Blade sent us by Fuller. Mrs. Joseph (Mary) Tegel of Nashville entered Pennock Hospital last Wednesday to undergo tests. Remember Tuesday morning story hour throughout the month of July at Putnam Public Library.

Guests from as far away as North Carolina and Ohio at­ tended the July 8th Open House at the United Methodist Church in Nashville to honor Rev. and Mrs. E.F. Rhoades on their 6oth wedding anniversary. It was a dual celebration, as Rev. Rhoades also observed his 90th birthday that Sunday. Over 125 guests signed the register, many coming from throughout Michigan including Lansing, Detroit, Battle Creek, Gladwin, Mason, Traverse City, Dowling, and Bellevue. The celebration was hosted by the Rhoades’ seven children and their families. One son was unable to be present. Spending last week visiting Rev. and Mrs. Rhoades following the Sunday reception was their son and his family: Dr. and Mrs. Von Rhoades and son, David, of Smithfield, North Carolina. Mr. and Mrs. Chet (Delores) Cook and three daughters of West Unity, Ohio spent Saturday proceeding the Rhoades’ anniversary Open House visiting at the Rhoades’ home. Delores is a niece to Mrs. Rhoades. Accompanying the Cooks to Nashville was Mrs. Virgil Ridgeway, mother of Delores. Her husband, who is Mrs. Rhoades’ brother, was ill and unable to make the trip to Michigan. A guest last week of Mrs. Naomi Watson of Nashville was Mrs. Doris Ford of Detroit. Leonard Shull of Nashville entered Pennock Hospital last Monday for tests due to a heart condition. He had been recently ill.

She flew to Texas on Tuesday proceeding the ceremony, and enjoyed participating in pre-nuptial events which included a Friday evening rehearsal dinner hosted by the-groom’s parents at the King’s Table Restaurant in Dallas. The Saturday af­ ternoon wedding at the Walnut Hill Lutheran Church was followed by a reception in the church parlors. Saturday evening, the bride’s parents hosted a barbecue at their home for friends and relatives. Temperatures in Texas during Mrs. Jones’ stay ranged into the 100’s so she enjoyed the comfort of her son’s air-conditioned home. Her flight from Texas departed at Ft. Worth and Mrs. Jones arrived in Detroit late Monday evening where she was greeted by her children, Mr. and Mrs. Robert Jones of Battle Creek and Mr. and Mrs. Carroll (Joyce) Lamie of Nashville.

Sixteen graduates of Nashville’s Class of 1907 are beautifully portrayed in a large photo recently donated to Putnam Public Library by Mrs. Lynn (Josephine) Brumm Donnelly of East Lansing. Mrs. Donnelly’s first husband, the late Lynn Brumm, was a member of the class. (Lynn was a Nashville native and brother to Victor Brumm of Nashville and the late June Brumm Nesbet). Donors of the picture also include sons of Josephine and Lynn Brumm: Dr. Lynn F. Brumm, a professor at Michigan State Universify living at Okemos, and Robert S. Brumm of San Antonio, Texas. The gift also included a mint-condition program of the NHS 1907 graduation exercises. The late Lynn Brumm and Josephine, a Flint native and teacher of the deaf, met at MSU (then Michigan State College). In later years they lived at Sharon, Pennsylvania where Lynn managed a large dairy farm. During earlier years in Lansing, Josephine taught at a school for the deaf and Lynn managed a farm operated in conjunction with the facility. Another member of the Brumm family—June Brumm Nesbet—was also commemorated by a recent gift to the library. Memorial donations from her relatives have placed a lighted, detailed world globe by National Geographic in the library. The globe, situated on an attractive stand, is currently on display in the conservatory area at the south end of the children’s room. While visiting in Nashville, Mrs. Lynn Brumm Donnelly was a house guest of Mr. and Mrs. Maurice Purchis. Ardis Purchis is a niece to Mrs. Donnelly A broken water main on S.

The Roloff controversy was the subject of a recent “60 Minutes” program televised by CBS. Completion of three years service with the U.S. Army by cousins, Doug and Terry Knoll, of Nashville was cause for a family celebration Sunday at the home of Doug’s parents, Jim and Delores Knoll cf Nashville. Terry is the son of Mr. and Mrs. Francis Knoll of Kellogg St. Some 34 members of the family gathered for a pool-side cookout in the Knoll’s backyard, and enjoyed a day of picnicing, swimming and visiting. The boys were recently discharged at Ft. Benning, Georgia but their tour of service had taken them far from home. For two years they were stationed in Panama (during the time of the recent Panama Canal controversy) and later spent a month in Alaska after returning to the states. Mr. and Mrs. Vern Bera, former Nashville residents now of Albuquerque, New Mexico, were in town recently to call on Mr. and Mrs. Vern Hawblitz. The two ladies are sisters. Also present for the occasion was another sister and her husband, Mr. and Mrs. Erwin Bruce of Battle Creek. The Beras and Bruces were Friday afternoon visitors and evening supper guests at the Hawblitz home. Sunday callers on Mr. and Mrs. Vern Hawblitz were Mr. and Mrs. Pete (Elaine) Holly of Albuquerque, New Mexico. Elaine, daughter of the Vern Beras, is a niece to Mrs. Hawblitz. Visitors from Fairbanks, Alaska have been at the home of Mrs. Verna Frederick of Nashville. Her son and his family, Mr. and Mrs. Wayne Woodbury and children, arrived in Michigan July 4th. They are staying with his brother, Lester Woodbury of Vermontville, and have enjoyed calling on friends and relatives in the area. Mr. and Mrs. Earl (Clara) Pennock of rural Nashville entertained their family for Sunday dinner to honor the July 3rd wedding anniversary of their daughter and her husband, Lois and John Lane of Battle Creek, and the July 9th bir­ thday of the Pennock’s grandson, Aaron Haroff, son of Mr. and Mrs. Woody (Leigh Pennock) Haroff of Kalamazoo. Son-in-law Woody was unable to attend the event as he is currently stationed in the state of Washington on six weeks National Guard duty. Other Sunday callers at the Earl Pennock home were Bill and Grace Tarbet of rural Hastings, and their daughter-in­ law and granddaughter, Mrs. Charles Tarbet and Opal, of near Norfolk, Virginia. The Tarbet’s son is stationed with the U.S. Navy there. Also a Sunday evening caller and lunch guest of Earl and Clara Pennock was Mrs. Nyla Graham of Beadle Lake, near Battle Creek. Don Green and three children of San Jose, California arrived in Nashville last week to spend some time with his grandmother, Mrs. Theresa Hess. On July 19th Don’s parents, Jack and Virginia Green, are expected to arrive here. The Greens, former village residents, now live at Melbourne, Florida. They plan to visit in Nashville a month and be on hand to help Mrs. Hess celebrate her 80th birthday on August 26th. Mrs. Warren Burdick of Nashville underwent gall bladder surgery at Pennock Hospital last Tuesday and is recovering well. She expects to be home this week. Recent guests at the home of Mrs. Elsie Ramsey of rural Nashville was her brother and his wife, Bruce and Anne Quayle of Columbus, Ohio. They arrived July 3rd for a fourday visit. On the Fourth, they and Mrs. Ramsey enjoyed a tour of the Cornwell Turkey Farm near Marshall. The following day they all called on Mrs. Ramsey’s daughter and her husband, Claudette and Theodore Myers of Charlotte. Friday evening Mrs. Ramsey and the Quayles had dinner at the Spa in Battie Creek as guests of Mrs. Ramsey’s son and wife, Glen and Marilyn Ramsey of Dowling. Following dinner they stopped at the nearby V.F.W. Post to see Ramsey’s son, Mark, who performs with a 5-piece band there. Glen Ramsey was also a Wednesday and Thursday caller at his mother’s home to visit with the Quayles.

Nashville. Wednesday. July 18. 1979 — Page 4 A wellspring of cultural appreciation that flourished in Nashville-and throughout the USA-during the “Gay Nineties’* was the foundation for the Woman’s Literary Club, Nashville’s oldest continuous organization still active today. The WLC is an offshoot of the old Bay View Reading Club, formed in Nashville near the turn of the century. Both men and women were involved in the original reading clubs in the village. In fact, early news accounts of the Bay View Club in­ dicate that more men than women participated in the early cultural programs. But by 1905 the ladies had taken the upper hand. The Woman’s Literary Club evolved from the Bay View Club that year. And one of the earliest WLC-sponsored events recorded by the Nashville News was a May 1905 “guest night” program in which club members entertained their husbands at the John Marshall home on Durkee Street (presentday Gerald Shoup residence). “As . guests arrived they were greeted at the door by a maid in Japanese costume and conducted into the home of Mrs. J. B. Marshall, where the setting was predominantly Japanese," observed the reporter. “A number of the ladies also wore Japanese costumes, carrying out the theme of the program, which climaxed a study of the Japanese people and their culture, through recent months.” “Even the menu was Japanese and the tables were decorated Japanese style,” added the writer. The ladies continued to gather for enlightenment and fellowship and by 1907 had published their first yearbook, outlining plans for the upcoming season. They met twice monthly, from late September through early May, to study a variety of lessons covering history, literature, art, music, and national and home problems. Speeches, reading of papers prepared by the ladies, musical offerings, and open, or round-table, discussions covered a multitude of subjects that year. “NOT WHAT WE GIVE, BUT WHAT WE SHARE,” WAS (and still is) the club’s motto and the agenda of the Tuesday afternoon programs provided an op­ portunity for various members to take their turn sharing knowledge with others. A leader (or chairman, as they were later called) was appointed for each meeting, scheduled in advance throughout the season. A typical program of that era may be shown in an agenda for December 17,1907 on the subject “American Women.” Mrs. Margaret Shilling had charge of the event, and roll call was answered with quotations from author Ella Wheeler Wilcox. A paper entitled “The American woman at home and in business” was written and presented by Mrs. Daisy Townsend. Mrs. Susan Beebe spoke on “The ideas of a plain country woman”; and a paper on “What life means to the American woman” was prepared and read by Mrs. Daisy Lentz. Open discussion on “The birthright of the American woman” was led by Mrs. Julia B. Marshall. There were 27 members of the Woman’s Literary Club that year, with Mrs. Melissa Roe serving as president. The 1908-09 season found the ladies studying cultures of many foreign landsHolland, Germany, Mexico, Norway and Sweden--in addition to considering such thought-provoking subjects as “Civil Service Reform” and “The Civil War”. The yearly WLC agendas reflect a chronological saga of American history. Con­ cern for America’s problems centering on citizenship, legislation, education and child welfare predominated WLC studies in the early 1920’s, concurrent with women’s newly-won right to vote. During the Depression years of the early 1930’s, WLC programs leaned toward more practical topics—social welfare, conservation, health, gar­ dening and nutrition. Another reflection of a memorable era appears in a March 1937 agenda entitled simply “Radio”. The ladies answered roll call by naming their favorite radio program. Musical selections were renditions of popular songs, and talks were given on noted radio personalities, like Lowell Thomas. Simon Pharmacy ® I®.

Mrs. Julia Marshall (second from left) was a charter member of the Nashville Woman's Literary Club and president when the club's first yearbook was published in 1907.

(Photo loaned, courtesy Mr. and Mrs. Gerald Shoup) February 1943 saw the WLC discussing “Our Allies” and “The Axis”. Topics considered in January 1945 were infantile paralysis, Sister Kenny treatment, and Warm Springs, Georgia. In keeping with the ladies’ increased political awareness of the 1920’s, Nashville fathers entrusted the WLC with an awesome responsibility. Meeting in special session January 29, 1923 the council resolved to “give the Woman’s Literary Club the management of the Putnam Library.” The council appointed a com­ mittee to act jointly with a library board to be appointed by the Literary Club president (present-day library board members are appointed by elected village and township officials). The newly-formed board in 1923 was responsible for “the expenditure of the fund created for that purpose by terms of the will of the late Mr. and Mrs. C.M. Putnam.” There was some small token of appreciation offered for the laborious hours the ladies would donate to ready the library for public opening just nine months later. “And for this service rendered by the club to the village,” continued the resolution, “it (will) in turn be allowed free use of the building for its meetings.” Typical of the WLC, the ladies pitched in to complete the assigned task. They sought donations of books, cash, labor and materials to create a public library in the Putnam home. In less than a year they had expanded the 300-volume Putnam collection, willed to the village along with the residence, to more than 1500 books available for lending. By January 1924 some 443 patrons had applied for library cards. Civic improvement has always been high on the WLC agenda and the women are credited with many diversified community projects— perhaps the most unique p being the removal of the old iron hitching posts from Main Street. More concon­ ventional endeavors have included continued support of Putnam Library in i various undertakings, such as the WLC’s restoration off a second-floor meeting room in recent years. Students in the local community have also received special encouragement through WLCsponsored programs over the long life of the organization. As early as February 1924 the Nashville News noted one such event, naming nine 5th through 8th grade winners in a music memory contest sponsored by the Woman’s Literary Club. In the late 1940’s the WLC sponsored an annual speech contest for local students, an evening event staged at the high school auditorium. Today, the club’s interest in academic achievement still thrives as an annual WLC scholarship is awarded to a graduating senior selected by a ballot of club members. Each year the WLC sill publishes a club yearbook for the upcoming season, just as it has done since 1907. Active, associate, and honorary members are listed along with an itinerary of planned meetings and an “in memory” roll of now­ deceased members. Names and agendas fill yellowing pages of early WLC yearbooks (now at Putnam Library) and mirror not only the history of a club but the life of a community and nation as well-providing a precious storehouse of memories. Studying cultures of other lands helped wio<»n horizons for WLC members. Art, music and literature of foreign countries were often topics for discussion and typical costumes and native foods occasionally added reality to the lessons.

(Maple Valley News photos) In colonial America, a young girl was likely to display her skills in stitchery on a “sampler” which blossomed into popularity in the mid 18th century. Saturday, in Vermontville, a group of young girls had the opportunity to make a sampler, using pieces of white flour sack, in a class offered by the Vermontville Historical Society. And like their colonial counterparts, they stitched under the watchful eyes of grown-ups, patiently per­ sisting with their needles while they heard encouraging words from Martha Zemke and Hildred Peabody as they developed the techniques of a number of embroidery stitches. “This is fun” and “I like learning to do this” were some of the comments the girls expressed as they learned to make such stit­ ches as the lazy daisy, French knot, and cross stitch from Hildred Peabody of the lioncEstaarluchistorical local hchtiestdsoa rtmihcepa llge rsociety so oucwpie.a who CUP THIS AND SAVE IT let Ils Do The Dirty Work and You Can Have The Fun of Refinishing...

Family histories —names and dates of births, marriages, and deaths— were sometimes recorded on samplers. Mottos and prayers were often carefully stitched on a sampler too. The girls in Vermontville, Saturday, were surprised to learn that sewing needles were expensive items in Colonial times and for that reason a needle would often be passed down through the generations a of family...from mother to daughter. Learning the art of stit­ ching samplers was the second in a series of classes sponsored by the Ver­ montville Historical Society and held in the museum (the old Academy). Crocheting and tatting for children in seventh grade or above will conclude the craft classes. The sessions will be held from 2-4 p.m. next Saturday and on July 28.

Poultry and rabbit members will also have some fun activities on Friday afternoon. This year there will also be an awards presentation for all mem­ bers receiving Top-Ten awards for projects exhibited in the Commercial Building. This program will take place Friday, at 5:30 p.m. in the sale tent back by the barns. It’s going to be an exciting Fair-bigger and better than ever. We hope, however, that all those participating will view it as just another 4-H activity which can provide a learning experience. All the judges make their decisions based on what is seen and brought to the Fair. Exhibits don’t always tell what was really learned, nor do they always express the ex­ periences a member has had. Judges have their own standards, which may or may nbt be the same as the 4­ H members or leaders. Judges evaluate only the exhibits and performances* they do not judge members as persons. So don’t let the color of the ribbon determine the success or failure ofyour total 4-H year. Let’s go to the Fair with the idea of trying to win, but lets be good sports if the judge places another member or club above you (this goes for leaders and parents, too!).

Til SIB CONFERENCE TIME - The legislature is now in recess until mid-September, but it’s not a vacation: joint House­ Senate conference committees are working to resolve dollar and language differences in bills passed by both houses through last week. HEATING ASSISTANCE - The future of the home heating assistance program has warmed up recently, with House approval of HB 4726 which continues the program, and the governor’s renewed support for it due to increased heating oil costs. SCHOLARSHIP LIBERATION - Governor Milliken has signed into law SB 227, which allows recipients of state scholarships to use them at any nonprofit, postsecondary school in Michigan, rather than just at degree-granting colleges and universities. YOUR PARTY, PLEASE - The Senate last week took action on SB 540, which would create what is called a “closed” Presidential Primary: before you could vote, you would have to announce whether you are Republican, Democrat or Independent. The votes of Independents would not be used for national convention delegate selection if banned by party rule; Democrats ban them. GAS RATIONING? - The Department of Commerce is holding public hearings this week to get public reaction to “odd-even” and “minimum-purchase” gasoline distribution proposals. These are standby plans only. Hearings are in Cadillac, July 16; Marquette, July 17; Kalamazoo, July 18; Saginaw, July 19; and Detroit, July 20. You may give testimony at these hearings. POINT COUNTERPOINT s Now in the House is the Senate-approved SB 471, which adds on penalty points for speeding violations over the present 55-mph speed limit and any future energy-imposed speed limit set by the governor. One point would be added for 55 to the previous limit while 2 points or more would result from violating a special energyrelated speed limit. WORKER COMPANIES - Governor Milliken has signed into law HB 4119, which provides state help for the establish­ ment of employee-owned corporations. This is designed to help save jobs at companies which the owners want to close, if the employees want to take them over. ^EASY RIDING - Although tourism is down somewhat from 1978’s record levels, the outlook is still good for this summer - particularly because gasoline is readily available at most locations in northern Michigan. To learn gas availability, you can call 800-292-2520. SAFETY RECORD - Our recent midweek 4th of July holiday was th safest in 28 years. There were only 5 recorded traffic deaths during the 30-hour period, the lowest since at least 1951. This was attributed to increased traffic patrols and reduced personal travel. 2545 S. Charlton Park Rd., has held bluegrass festivals. More than 13,500 people have attended the shows in that time. The Sweet Corn String Band, a major attraction in the western Michigan area, will make its eighth ap­ pearance on the Charlton Park stage. Horsefeather is making its third appearance and Sounds of the South its second. The park holds its festivals in the center of the Historic Village, nestled on the banks of the Thornapple River. Among the attractions in the village, a group of restored buildings that recreate a village of the late 1800’s, are Bristol Inn, -a stagecoach inn; Lee School, a one-room schoolhouse; Carlton Center Church; the Hastings Mutual Building, featuring a bank office and a lawyers office; a carpenter-cooper shop, a blacksmith shop, a general store and a print shop. All of the village attractions were historic buildings from around Barry County, moved to the park where they have been restored. Charlton Park also features a 300 acre recreation area, including a nature trail, beach and picnic areas. A museum displays a collection of ar­ tifacts compiled by Irving Charlton, who donated the site to the county. Tickets for the bluegrass festival, on sale at the gate, are $5 for adults. Children under 12 are 50 cents and preschoolers are admitted free. For more information call the park at (616) 945­ 3775.

The council will seek voter approval of the project in a referendum tentatively, set. in early September. The Michigan Department of Natural Resources is also expected to offer a grant of $221,000 for the sewer expansion which will include extended collection lines, lift stations, and a new waste* water treatment facility. Trustee Lonny Kienutske, head of a council-appointed Public Information Com­ mittee for the project, said Thursday the village has also been offered an additional 10 percent grant from the EPA, amounting to $168,000, for the cost of the planned “alternative process” treatment plant. Kienutske’s committee will be conducting several public information presentations onthe project within the next few weeks. In other business, the council approved retaining Gove Associates of Kalamazoo to design a downtown development plan for the village, contingent on receipt of a community development grant from the U.S. Housing and Urban Development authority which would pay fOT the $7,500 project as part of a'-larger grant. HUD grants totaling $405,000 are currently being soug,ht for the Nashville area. If approved, they could provide $210,000 for low housing income rehabilitation, $170,000 for community development and improvement projects, and $25,000 for county administration of the program.

Motion to adjourn by Spoelstra and supported by Babcock. Meeting adjourned at 10:43 p.m. Dated July 12, 1979 Susan M. Corkwell, Clerk The council tie-voted to retain Gove, pending grant approval. Village president Harold Christiansen cast an affirmative vote to break the tie in favor of the plan. Trustees Sandra Kohfeldt and Ted Spoelstra contended the council was acting hastily .in selecting Gove without seeking other bids on the design project. However, Kienutske pointed out that the Kalamazoo firm came highly recommended and very few such companies specialize in small town planning. He also stressed that the fee is not coming from village coffers but from grant funds designated soley for the purpose of a down­ town development plan. Kienutske said many local merchants had expressed an interest in the project. Representatives of Gove Associates were present at the council meeting to repeat a presentation they had made Tuesday evening to the' Nashville Business OWhers Association. Jack Howell, project nlanner. showed designs currently underway by Gove in the towns of Vassar and Davison. “The downtown, in any small community, is really the heart ofthe community,” Howell told the council. “Merchants are the people who have to be excited and enthused and informed in order to make downtown revitalization happen.”, ’ Several local business owners and members of the NBOA were present at Thursday’s council meeting to express support of the plan .which would include, in addition to architectural and landscaping design, such services as a structural survey of downtown buildings, marketing sur­ veys of consumers and merchants, and advice on funding available for im­ provements. "We (business owners) simply do not have the knowledge and background to-know where to get the help we need,” said Mary Hecker, speaking in support of the project on behalf of the NBOA. Also urging council approval of the plan were businessmen David Mace, George Vogt, Richard Chaffee, and Richard Green. In other business, the council accepted the resignation ofPatrolman Art In related action, the Long, effective July 30. council adopted a procedure Long, employed under the of hiring village employees Comprehensive Em- covering standard guidelines ployment and Training Act, for advertisement of has been with the Nashville openings and review of Police Dept, since December applications.

Public meetings set for6402 During the past few weeks, the Nashville Village Cpuncil has made several decisions regarding the development of the proposed wastewater collection and treatment system. For the most part, the decisions pertained to financing. A major decision other than financing was with regard to the deleting portions of the main line collection system that are not eligible to receive State and Federal grant assistance. On the basis of that action, the proposed sewer service area is as indicated on the map. In other actions, the Council decided to limit initial charges to new customers of the system. As a result, existing customers and owners of vacant lots will be assessed an ad­ ditional amount initially and will only pay the monthly user rates for the new system, once those rates are established. On the basis of those decisions, Council is presently favoring a financial plan that will in­ clude an initial fee of $1,200 per new sewer customer. If the Farmers Home Ad­ ministration provides loan assistance at 5 percent for 40 years, the monthly charge will be approximately $8.60 plus an additional monthly amount for operating and maintaining the system. If, however, the FmHA does not have sufficient loan funds for the project, the estimated monthly rate will be ap­ proximately $15.00 per customer plus the additional amount for operation and maintenance. — The Public Information Committee- is scheduling several public meetings and presentations before groups in town for the purpose of giving Nashville the facts about its project.

Lifelong learning the goal of family living education by Margaret Ann Ross Extension Home Economist Do you know that families in Eaton County can learn how to eat nutritiously, manage money and energy resources efficiently and develop their potential ef­ fectively by simply dialing the telephone? The phone number is 543­ 2310, and at the other end of the line is an Extension home economist who can help with a variety of family concerns ranging from inflation to parenting. It’s all a part of the Family Living Education Program of the Michigan State University Cooperative Extension Service. If your question is one the Extension home economist can’t an­ swer on her own, she can turn to a human resource bank at MSU to find the answer. If you have questions on “Housing,” “Human Development,” “Health,” “Foods and Nutrition,” “Resource Management” or “Family and Government,” try dialing your Eaton County Home Economist. She’ll help you learn ways to handle your problem. Even the Dimmer's pet. Snoopy, will have a role in the new enterprise. He will be the official store dog, the family laughs as they gather around the old potbellied stove which will serve as a focal point in the store which they hope to open around the end of the summer. From left to right are Carolyn and David Dimmers with their daughters Martha, and Julie (seated) and Snoopy. �The Maple Valley News. Nashville, Wednesday, July 18. 1979— Page 11 EAST SIDE ..

And if you’re like most drivers, you can save 15 miles—and probably a lot more—just by changing your driving habits and planning ahead. Here are some easy tips to help you save 15 miles a week: Set aside one day a week as your car-free" day. Is there one day each" week when you could leave your car at home and find other ways to get where you want ' to go? Join a work pool, school pool or shopping pool. Carpooling can save you a lot of miles and money—as much as $650 in gas every year. Trim your driving by two miles a day. Keep a street map handy to be sure you’re taking the shortest routes. Try to run errands closer to home. Before you grab your car keys, think ahead. How many trips could you combine? Are you sure each trip is necessary? Ride with someone who's already on the road—the bus driver. Check out your local bus system and let someone else do the driving.

Feed grains were also up 4 percent, while fruit in­ creased 3 percent. The farm price of dairy products and commercial vegetables both held steady. Meat animals counter-balance most of the price increases by declining 7 percent.

Those honkers seen in eastern Michigan flight paths winter in the Tennesee Valley and spend summers in Canada’s St. James Bay area. The Mississippi Valley flock originates in extensive muskeg bogs along die south coast of Hudson Bay east to St. James Bay in Canada. They range southward through western Michigan, western Indiana, the entire states of Wisconsin and Illinois, western Kentucky, western Tennessee and into southeastern Missouri. Two breeds make up the population of this goose habitat. 300,000 Branta canadensis interior geese are augmented by eight to 10 thousand Branta canadensis maxima (giant) Canadas. Canada geese are apt to be found in a variety of nesting areas. They’ve been know to nest on cliffs, in maYshes, on islands, even. on elevated platforms in trees. Western varieties have been seen living atop muskrat dens. Michigan DNR officials believe the Canada goose population is on the rise, according to Timothy Payne, habitat biologist at the Plainwell district office. Payne said observers in the Plainwell district have noted an upsurge in the goose population over the last two years. Last year observers recorded 113 pairs of nesting honkers with 503 goslings — a big increase over the 88 pairs with 279 goslings in 1977. According to Payne gosling brrods in the district averaged nearly four and one-half birds per brood in ’78 compared to 3.2 per brood in 1977. Female Canada geese become active nesters att three years of age, though some start a year earlier. The average female lays five eggs, and incubates them for 28 days. y. While incubating, g, the female will be defended aggressively by her consort, according to Payne. Payne said 70 per cent of the eggs ggs laid in the average nest natch and 4.7 goslings leave the nest. He said local observations are below this figure because reports reach Plainwell well after hatching and some young birds fall prey to snapping turtles, hawks and other predators. Payne said the DNR needs reports on goose broods in Barry and Calhoun counties. “We really lack information on geese in these areas and reports would be greatly appreciated,” he com­ mented. Forms for filing reports with the DNR are available by contacting the district office in Plainwell at 616-6856851- Photo by Elyse Miller— If you are a AAAN or WOMAN seeking a dis­ tinctive, quality HAIR DESIGN or outstanding COLOR WORK and PERMS . . .

Humane Society and have been put into operation by the Eaton Co. Animal Control. These. traps p willl enable Control Officers to capture wild animals which are being a nuisance to homes and individuals and return them to their natural habitat without killing the animal. New metal hutches for use at the Animal Shelter will be the Local Societies next project. These hutches will replace the wood ones which are difficult to clean and are unsanitary.

In this photo, Bill Wilson of Nashville enters the ring with his champion market hog at the livestock auction conducted with help from Auctioneer Kendall Tobias (right), Leon Ca^ey (at the microphone), and Earl McKibbon (left), Inside this issue of the Maple Valley News is a photo feature of area youth and their winning entries including ribbon winning booths created by area 4-H clubs. agencies to proceed with a proposed 4.8 million sewer expansion project. Specifically, voters will be asked to give approval for the village “to undertake a grant and bond program in the approximate amount of 4.8 million dollars for pur­ poses of acquiring and constructing improvements to the village’s sewer system consisting of plant and sewer line improvements and extensions, of which it is anticipated that 3.5 million dollars will be federal and state grants and the remainder village bonds.” The local share of the project, approximately 1.3 million, would be financed by a bond issue with voter approval. Thursday’s special council session was necessary in order to meet a publication deadline of intent to hold the September 11th referendum. Voters will have, through August 11th to register for the election. The village of Nashville has been under order of the Michigan Department of Natural Resources since 1968 tO abate pollution of the Thornapple River. Stiffened regulations issued in 1970 again raised water quality for the Th< rnapple, which flows through the village. Effluent from the present waste water treatment facility does not conform with these regulations and in some areas of the village raw sewage flows directly into the Thornapple River and Quaker Brook. The additional requirements to abate pollution would have in­ creased the cost of ex­ panding the existing plant to such an extent that con­ struction of a new lagoon and irrigation treatment system was recommended in 1972 as the most economical solution. The DNR and U.S. En­ vironmental Protection Agency have offered Nash­ ville grants totaling 80 percent of allowable project costs. An additional 10 percent grant from the EPA, amounting to $168,000, has been granted for the cost of the planned “alternative process” treatment plant to be situated west of the village on Brumm Road. The grant program is a 3step process. A separate application was required for each “step”. In 1976 Nash­ ville received funds for Step 1 (Study Phase); funds for Step 2 (Design) were received in 1977. The village council received notification July 12 that Step 3 (Con­ struction) has been ap­ proved by the EPA. A council-appointed Public Information Committee for the proposed sewer ex­ pansion has scheduled Cont on page 13 Hecker Agency wins insurance merit award The Hecker Agency, Nash­ ville, an Independent in­ surance representative, has been honored as a 1978 Merit Award Winner by the Board of Time Insurance Company, Milwaukee-based life and health insurer. Approximately 740 of Time’s 4600 Independent agencies qualified for the award, according to W. E. Jordens, Senior Vice President and Director of Marketing. The Merit Award is presented annually to those agents who have shown exceptional ability in the areas of service to clients, product knowledge, persistency and sales ac­ tivity during the previous year. Time insurance Company currently ranks in the top 12 percent of the nation’s life insurance companies based on life insurance in force rankings compiled by The National Underwriter. The Company, established in 1892, markets its life and health plans in 47 states and the District of Columbia through more than 4600 Independent insurance agencies. Vermontville scouts spend 7 days south of the boarder, down Mexico way Four Vermontville Girl Scouts and their chaperones have an exciting seven days ahead of them when they leave for a trip to Mexico at the end of the month. Cathy Trumble, Cheryl McClure, Sue Strong, and Wendy Wyskowski will embark on their journey July 30th from the Detroit airport with their chaperones, Leader Carolyn Trumble and Jeanne Han­ sen. They will' be spending much of their time in Cuernavaca, a gracious resort city known as “The City of Eternal Spring” in Morelos, Mexico where the climate has a semi-tropical appeal with an abundance of lush vegetation. They will be headquar­ tered at the Girl Scout a Cabana, residential program center owned and operated by the World Association of Girl Guides and Girl Scouts. While they are at the Cabana, the Vermontville girls will be presenting a service project and an International Presentation.

During their stay, the group will be in Mexico City for three days and also will be spending some time in Taxco which has a reputation as “The Silver City.” Located about 100 miles south of Mexico City, Taxco is picturesque with a Spanish colonial flavor. Sights, the Vermontville girls hope to take in during their Mexican visit include the Imperial Gardens, Pyramids, and museums. They also plan to attend a Ballet Folklorico and do a lot of shopping besides touring the area. The Vermontville Scouts raised about half the money they needed to make the trip by conducting various fund making projects. They sold candy, had a booth at the annual Syrup Festival; conducted a community rummage and bake sale; and sold other products which ranged from candles to stationery. The girls are really looking forward to the trip and want to thank everyone who helped to make it possible. �The Meple Valley New*. Nosh»iRe. Wednesday. July 25. 1979 — Pape 2 Nashville News Nashville drivers will have smooth sailing from now on, at least on several village streets that received new asphalt surfacing last week. Recapped in the project were Middle and Cleveland Streets, from Lentz to Reed; the easternmost portion of Sherman Street, from East Street to Curtis Road; and a one-block section of Reed, from Main to State. RiethRiley Construction Company of Battle Creek arrived in the village last Thursday to begin the work approved earlier this year by the village council. Payment for the paving project has been allocated from federal revenue sharing funds, plus Act 51 major street monies received from the state. All resurfaced roadways were in seriously deteriorated con­ dition, full of potholes and patches which were a real hazard to motorists as well as cyclists. The Nashville business district parking lot, located west of the Main Street stores from Washington Street to near­ Sherman, was also included in last week’s paving project This should be a real boon to local shoppers searching for handy parking spots and for downtown businessmen who may be encouraged to expand rear entranceways to their establishments. Visiting at the home of their great-grandparents, Rev. and Mrs. E. F. Rhoades of Nashville are Sheri and Melissa Wilson of Canandaigua, New York. They are the daughters of Mr. and Mrs. Bob (Sharon) Wilson, and grandaughters of Mrs. Naomi Watson of Nashville. The girls were ac­ companied to Michigan by their mother, who visited four days then returned to New York. Sheri and Melissa will stay on for two weeks. Mrs. Leah (Walrath) Partridge, a Nashville native now of Flint, was in the village for a visit last Monday, along with her daughter and son-in-law, Mildred and Art Long, also of Flint. They called on the Richard and Margaret Engle family, visited with Peg Mater there, and also called briefly at the Maurice Purchis home. This reporter was also honored with a visit from these lovely folks and Mrs. Par­ tridge was able to furnish a wealth of historical information and some very interesting photos for several upcoming “Memories" features. Leonard Shull of Nashville returned home from Pennock Hospital last week.

Many Nashville folks enjoyed Barry County’s 127th annual fair at Hastings last week, both as spectators and par­ ticipants in a variety of exciting activities. Several were exhibitors in the livestock show and other traditional county fair events. Horse racing at the fair was also a popular at­ traction for many. Nashville’s Class of 1954 had a splendid turnout for their 25th anniversary class reunion Saturday, July 16, at St. Cyril Community Hall in Nashville. Nineteen graduates plus three other earlier members of the class, along with spouses and guests, brought the total attendance to nearly 40. Traveling the farthest distance to attend was Darrell Lancaster of Watsonville, Calif. Also coming from out-of-state for the event was Sandra (Hamilton) Hargrove of Vienna, Virginia. Members present from throughout Michigan (outside our immediate area) were: Phyllis (Borst) Ritter of Escanaba; Millie (Teeter) Jingozian ofOrchard Lake; Ruby (Goodson) Peyton of Saginaw; Larry and Pat (Root) Graham of Leslie; Vivan (Smith) Neimeyer of Lansing; John Wilson of Jackson;* Bonnie (Burd) Pierce of Battle Creek and Calvin Rizor of Ionia.

Gladys (Jarrard) Mitchell was responsible for organizing Saturday’s reunion. Lester Woodbury of Vermontville, son of Mrs. Verna Frederick of Nashville, was able to return home last Tuesday after undergoing spinal surgery at Blodgett Hospital in Grand Rapids the previous Friday. He is still in some amount of pain but is recovering well. Meanwhile, Lester’s brother, Wayne Woodbury, has flown back to his home in Fairbanks, Alaska.

Mrs. Mary Tegel has returned home after a 6-day stay at Pennock Hospital to undergo a series of tests. She was able to return to the Nashville Senior Citizens’ Nutrition Site last Thursday noon. Recent callers on Mrs. Elizabeth Curtis of Nashville were Peg Mater of Thornapple Lake Rd.; Vernon and Shirley Curtis of rural Nashville; and Mrs. Mildred Bursley of Kalamo. A program detailing the village’s proposed sanitary sewer system expansion was given for the Nashville Senior Citizens group, meeting in Putnam Park’s pavilion last Wednesday noon. Their potluck dinner was followed by a presentation outlining the history, terminology, proposed construction, and alternate financing methods of the 4.8 million dollar project Federal and state grants, which will cover approximately 3.5 million of the cost, were also explained to the seniors. Participating in the discussion, followed by a question and answer period, were Nelson Brumm, representing a council-appointed Public In­ formation Committee; Suzy Corkwell, village clerk; and Patsy Clark and Bruce Kuffer, representing William and Works of Grand Rapids-engineers on the sewer project Many additional public information meetings are planned by the committee. They hope to reach all members of the community through presentations to various local civic groups and organizations, and will also conduct two general public informational meetings at Castleton Township Hall in August. Public input and attendance at these meetings is encouraged. The committee’s goal is to present facts and answer questions so that local citizens can make an in­ formed decision when voting on the project at an election tentatively set for September 11th. The 'next scheduled group presentation will be to the Nashville Garden Club at the 2:00 p.m. Tuesday meeting, August 7th, at the home of Mrs. J. H. Austin.

Jerry competed in the race as did Mrs. Guy’s two granddaughters, children of her son Kendall Guy of Bristol. More than 940 runners entered the event, staged as part of a festival at that city. Mrs. Caroline Jones, Mrs. Carroll Lamie, and Mrs. Dennis Lamie, all of Nashville, attended a stork shower Sunday for Mrs. Debra Martins at the home of her parents, Mr. and Mrs. Robert Jones of Battle Creek. Incidentally, Mrs. Caroline Jones remembers John and Julia Marshall, pictured in last week’s “Memories of the Past”, as they were her aunt and uncle. (John was a brother to Caroline’s father). The “Memories” story concerned the Nashville Woman’s Literary Club in which Julia Marshall was a charter member and early president. Caroline recalls that Julia came to Michigan from Vermont, as a small child, with her parents, the Cyrus Buxtons. She was sent back east, to New York state, to acquire a college education. Julia’s brother, A.C. Buxton, became a prominent Nashville businessman in the manufacturing of guns at a machine shop located in what is the present-day floral shop on Main Street (old Stop and Shop building). Another note from an old clipping-Julia’s husband John was killed in an accident at his place of business, Marshall and Martens elevator, at age 73. He was a highly respected civic leader and suc­ cessful businessman, as noted in his obituary. A 31(4 inch pike, caught recently at Thornapple Lake, was nearly as “tall” as the little 7-year-old lass that landed him. Peggy Hines, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Kenneth Hines of Lansing and niece of Don Joseph, Jr. of Carl’s Market, hooked the prize while fishing with her father and uncle on the Joseph’s pontoon boat. She was able to reel the giant catch in unaided, and needed help only in lifting her “trophy” on board. An all-day Sunday gathering, with time out for church services, was held recently at the home of Connie and Kenny Meade, Jr. and sons of rural Nashville. Swimming, pic­ nicking and bluegrass “jamming” was enjoyed by those attending, most ofwhom play stringed musical instruments. All came into town for Sunday evening worship services at the Baptist Church, then returned to the Meade home later. Present were Cathy and Rick Vessecchia; Suzy and Larry Corkwell and daughters, Lisa and Becky; Gloria Johncock and son, Doug, and grandchildren, Scott and Julie (children of Sheryl Johncock West of Colorado Springs); Debra and Dennis Morawski; Joan and Lowell McMillon and children, Kim and Todd, all of Nashville, Sharon Beech of Sunfield; and Debbie and Mark Huckendubler of Vermontville. Other Sunday callers at the Meade home were Kenny’s parents, Betty and Kenneth Meade, Sr., of Jackson. Mrs. Gordon (Susan) Gutchess and daughters, Jennifer and Ashley, of Corona, Calif, arrived in Nashville July 15th for a 2-week visit with her mother, Mrs. Petie Latta; Gordon’s parents, Ray and Grace Gutchess of Vermontville; and other relatives and friends. Susan and the girls flew into Grand Rapids and were met at the airport by a welcoming committee of Mrs. Latta and Mrs. Gutchess, plus Susan’s sister, Mrs. Wayne (Sherry) Gould, and her grandmother, Mrs. Ona Hinckley, both of Nashville. - In recent softball competition in a men’s league formed by several area churches, Vermontville Bible Church defeated Hastings Free Methodist by a score of 15-11, and Cedar Creek Bible Church downed Vermontville Bible, 15-7. This action left current standings in the league as follows: in Division 1-Nashville Baptist “Old Timers”, 5-1; Ver­ montville Bible Church, 4-4; Nashville Church of the Nazarene, 2-7; Hastings Church of the Nazarene, 0-5; and Grace Wesleyan, 0-8. In Division 2~Nashville Baptist Youth Team, 6-0; Cedar Creek Bible Church, 5-1; North Irving Wesleyan Church, 5-2; Hastings First United Methodist, 6-3; and Hastings Free Methodist Church, 4-6. The Brott family reunion drew nearly 100 persons to the Maple Leaf Grange Hall Sunday, July 15th. Attending locally were Mr. and Mrs. Adrien (Robie) Pufpaff and Mr. and Mrs. Harold Pufpaff and children. Weekend guests of the Adrien Pufpaffs were Mr. and Mrs. Orville (Louise) Pufpaff of McHenry, Illinois, and they also enjoyed-attending the family reunion. In the morning, before the gathering, Louise accompanied Robie to Sunday worship service at the United Methodist Church in Nashville. A recent visitor in Nashville was Mrs. Alice Ely of Port Huron, who called on her mother, Mrs. Avis Elliston. „ Mrs. Myrtle Graham of Nashville enjoyed a Wednesday evening supper at the home of her daughter and family, Marjorie and Elsworth Disbrow of Eaton Rapids to celebrate the 15th birthday of Myrtle’s granddaughter, Peggy Disbrow. An interesting neresng commentary commenary on our recent recen “Memories emores” on the FurnissjWotring (later Douse) Drug Store of earlier ■years" was received recently from Kenneth A. Meade, a Nashville native now of Franklin. Two memories of the store are quite vivid to him, he writes. One, they always had a rather large display of Christmas toys during the holiday season including electric trains, toy steam engines, erector sets, etc. “As a boy of 8 or 9 I was very interested in them and dreamed of getting them for Christmas, and sometimes I did get one that I had my heart set on.” For girls, the store carried a large, selection of dolls. Meade’s second memory on the drug store has to do with the telephone system at that time, about 1912 or so, when Nashville and the surrounding countryside was served by a local phone company known as the Citizens’ Telephone Company. Battle Creek and perhaps Hastings were served by Bell. A Citizens’ Telephone and a Bell phone were in­ stalled in the drug store side-by-side, Meade recalls. “As I remember, if we on a party line in the country wanted to get a message to Battle'Creek or some other place served by Bell, we would call the drug store and talk to Von Furniss or Mr. Wotring or one of the clerks,” wrote Meade. “They in turn would call the person-in Battle Creek (or elsewhere) and relay messages back and forth.” On another subject, Kenneth Meade also wrote he had recently received a letter from Howard Brumm, one of the boys in the Castleton Center School picture used in another recent “Memories”. Howard now lives near Charlevoix and the article had been forwarded to him by his brother Carter, who lives at Woodland. Fond recollections surround the The Maple Valley News. Nashville. Wednesday, July 25, 1979 — Page 3 school and teacher featured in the story. The popular but effective instructor, Orlin Yank, has elicited admiring memories from former students and Meade has one more to share with readers. He wrote that he still had a copy of a book containing Longfellow’s “Evangeline”, which Yank presented to him on June 3,1914 for having the highest standing (average 92) during the 1913­ 14 year, when Meade was in the 5th grade at Castleton Center. “It was his (Orlin’s) last year at Castleton school,” notes Meade. “I treasure the book very much.” Neal R. Miller, a Nashville native now of East Tawas, recently received high honors in a photography contest sponsored by the Detroit News. Neal’s color photo of Florida seagulls took third place among 1,000 entries and was published, in color, in the Sunday edition of the paper-July 15th. A newspaperman himself, Neal is editor and publisher of the Iosco County News located in East Tawas. Since he uses all black-and-white photography in connection with his news work, the prize winning photo was Neal’s first attempt at developing color film in a special darkroom he has set up at his home. Neal is the son of Mrs. Gladys Miller Richard­ son of Nashville. Condolences are extended to relatives of Mrs. Catherine E. Slater, 83, of Lapeer, who passed away July 8th. She was the mother of Mrs. Ellis (Irene) Bloom of Nashville and grandmother of Bob Bloom, also of the village. Services for Mrs. Slater were held at Baird-Newton Funeral Home at Lapeer on July 11. Mrs. Slater had been a frequent visitor in Nashville and was last here in May to spend Mother’s Day with her daughter. She had eight children, all surviving. Anyone who has been in the vicinity of Putnam Library these past few Tuesday mornings is well aware what a success the “Children’s Story Hour” program has been. Merry Lee Ossenheimer, who has charge of the project sponsored by Nashville’s newly-formed Friends of the Library, reports that 47 youngsters present at the first meeting in July have blossomed to an attendance of 95 children at last week’s session. The theme of the hour-long gatherings has been “Mysteries”, and includes films, storytelling, games and surprises. Last week the older children enjoyed a movie, “My Dear Uncle Sherlock”, while the younger ones watched, “Cat in a Hat.” Next Tuesday morning, July 31, will conclude the story hour program with a special event. Youngsters are to meet at toe library at 10:30 a m. and bring along a sack lunch. After about 20 minutes at the library for a special surprise, the children will walk to Putnam Park with their teachers for a picnic lunch. Parents should plan on being on the park at noon to pick up their youngsters, Mrs. Ossenheimer advises. acaton e school planned Vermontville Bible Church, 250 N. Main St. will conduct Vacation Bible School Monday, July 30 A reunion of four ladies who roomed together back in the 1940’s, when all were single, was held recently at the home of Bill and Grace (Pennock) Tarbet of rural Hastings. Present was Grace’s brother and his wife, Earl and Clara (Gillett) Pennock of Nashville; Bob and Iva (Belson) Osborne of Delton; and Dale and Ortha (Hawblitz) Bishop of Battle Creek. A Saturday evening potluck supper was enjoyed at the gathering, which was the first time all four ladies had been together in 15 years. Mike Norton, owner of Norton Security Services of Hastings and former officer with the Barry County Sheriff’s Dept., is working temporarily for the Nashville Police Department to fill the vacancy left by the recent resignation of Patrolman Art Long. Applications for the position are being accepted by the village clerk through August 6th. Twelve-year-old Chris Ames, son of Mr. and Mrs. David Ames of rural Nashville, was still confined at Pennock Hospital in Hastings at the time of this report, following a fall Wednesday afternoon at the Fred Bell farm on Curtis Road. The Nashville ambulance was called to the scene when Chris fell about 10 feet while climbing inside an ap­ proximately 16-foot high corncrib. He landed on his feet on a concrete floor, but tipped over and struck his head. He was suffering bleeding from one ear when transported to the hospital by the ambulance crew. Sandy Hulbert of Nashville, a summer resident of Mackinac Island and soon-to-be MVHS senior, had the honor to disco with film star Christopher Reeve recently. Reeve is on location on the island for filming of the movie “Super­ man” in which he stars. Sandy and Lori Mitchell, also of Nashville, have summer employment on Mackinac Island and are rooming together. Present for the disco event at the Mackinac Inn were Tim and Alice Boucher of Nashville, who called on the girls during a recent weekend visit there. The Bouchers enjoyed two days of sightseeing, and bicycled around the island in beautiful weather. Sandy and Lori went to Mackinac Island in June to work at the Murray Hotel there.

Walrath left a legacy of happy memories and inspiration to three generations of Nash­ ville families. A Hastings native who migrated to Nashville with his family at age 14, Hiram was a shoemaker by trade but a musician at heart. In his younger days he had loved the sport of speed skating (both roller and ice) but in 1884, at age 18, his inborn love of music prevailed and he dedicated himself to proficiency on the clarinet. “Dad never took a lesson; he taught himself to read music,” recalls his daughter, Mrs. Leah Par­ tridge of Flint. “His whole family was musically in­ clined.” And the talent passed into the next generation of Walraths. Grown into a young lady, Leah found herself the accompanying pianist for her father’s or­ chestra and Hiram’s nephews, Ross and Herb/ Jr., (sons of his brother Herbert) became members of his marching band. But Leah was not yet born when, in 1893, Hiram was persuaded by the village to form and direct a local band in Nashville for the salary of $12 per week. Hiram-or “Hi” as he was popularly called-had already chalked up nine years playing with distinguished out-of-town He specialized in bands. clarinet, cornet and violin but could play every musical instrument except the piano. He had already gained prominence as a gifted teacher and director, and his outstanding talent continued to call him to performances in larger towns over many subsequent years. “H. W. Walrath is helping furnish music for the Kalamazoo street fair this week,” reported the Nashville News in October 1898. From the News, August 1901: “H. W. Walrath was at Holland last week, playing with the Holland band during the state tournament.” August 1904: “H. W. Walrath was in Grand Rapids over the weekend, playing in Wurzburg’s band at John Ball Park.” More than a quarter century later, the gifted Hi Walrath was still being sought by larger cities. “H. W. Walrath, local band leader, has been engaged to direct the Postum band in Battle Creek and will spend one evening a week there, rehearsing,” noted the News in June 1930. But Hi found his first calling was to Nashville. He devoted almost full time to rehearsing and playing for dances, parades, concerts; holiday oday observances, observances exercises, graduation banquets, and a host of other social events in the village.. His director’s salary of $12 per week was supplemented at first by income from a news stand on Main Street at which he sold papers, cigars, , and novelties. oo up In 1896 he took up he shoemaking, a trade t pursued for nearly 50 years in various Main Street locations. At times, he operated in conjunction with brother Herbert’s harness­ making business, and in the end assumed that portion of the enterprise also. But the name of Walrath in Nashville evokes memories of melodies, not leather goods. The News was filled with social events backed by the sweet sounds of Hi and his musicians. “H. W. Walrath opens the skating rink at the opera house tomorrow night,” the News informed readers in mid-November 1899. “H. W. Walrath will promote a big Christmas dance at the opera house, so don’t make arrangements for Christmas until you hear from him,” advised the News in December. Months passed - more news, more events. One year later, in 1901: “H. W. Walrath has already sold 32 tickets for his masquerade dancing party to be given at the opera house November 27. Ladies will be admitted free, if masked.” Five years later, still the music played: “There will be a dance at the opera house Thanksgiving night, with music by Walrath’s orchestra. Bill for dancing and for turkey and oyster stew supper at the Bon Ton Cafe at midnight, just $1 per couple.” That same year, 1904, Hi and Miss. Alda Downing, pianist, had furnished music for the formal opening of the Bon Ton Bakery and restaurant which the News described as “one of Nashville’s finest establishments, already doing a brisk business.” Walrath’s mqsic inspired a love of dancing and, though his chief tutoring .talents , were confined to instrumental lessons, the News noted in January 1903 that, “H. W. Walrath has started a dancing school in Nashville and has close to a score of students lined up.” From the early days of his career until he was well into his 70’s, Hi gave private instructions on a variety of musical instruments, often teaching at his home or the residence of his students. Lessons were 25 cents, recalls one present-day senior citizen. Though opera house dances generally charged admission, much of Walrath’s music was a free performance for music lovers of all ages. “Walrath’s band will give a concert on Main Street Saturday night, the program including two marches, a serenade and two waltzes,” iinformed the News in OcMore than a tober 1904. later, quarter-century people were still flocking to hearr Hiram’s open-air melodies. “More than a hundred cars and an estimated 500 people showed up for the band concert in Putnam Park Sunday afternoon,” reported the News in May 1930.. “The bd is band i under d the th direction di of H. W. Walrath.” Until the formation of a high school band in the late 1930’s. Hi Walrath’s band entertained at most village functions and the members By Susan Hinckley also often traveled to out-of­ town performances at parades _ and concerts, usually going by train if Hi had anything to say about it. “Dad never drove a car and didn’t even like to ride in an auto,’’ remembers daughter Leah, who said he would rarely accept an of­ fered ride. Although Hi’s music consumed much of his time, his daughter recalls that he loved to fish on the river with Ed Liebhauser — nearly every Sunday. And he occasionally enjoyed hunting rabbits, the only wild game he would pursue. “He went ’coon hunting with Dr. Morris once, and that ended it,” said Leah, who explained that her father found it no sport to shoot a treed animal. A game of “Whist” at Irland’s pool room was a favorite diversion for Hi, and he always remembered to bring ice cream home to his wife and children (and later, his grandchildren) though he never ate it himself. As years progressed, Hi gradually lost his sight but his hearing and mind remained keen until the end. “The ever present rhythm of music was with him to the last,” wrote the late Mildred (Purchis) Mater in a per­ sonal biographical sketch on Walrath. “When he could do nothing else but sit in a chair, he would beat out the rhythm of music going through his mind, on the arms of his chair.” Mildred’s mother and Hiram’s wife, Emma, worked together as dressmakers. Walrath’s musicians reorganized several times over the years but many members of the old band often re-enlisted. Since there was no school band, they played for all village events.

(Barber, Rush and Richardson lived in Hastings). (Photo loaned, courtesy Leah Walrath Partridge) In his declining years, Hi could often be seen sitting on the front porch of his Phillips Street home where he and Emma had lived more than 50 years. “The high school band would often march by to play for him-both for Hiram’s pleasure and theirs,” noted Mrs. Mater. Just a year before his death, the community honored the 87-year-old director during Nashville’s 1953 Harvest Festival, at a “HL Walrath Night” ceremony presented on a Main Street stage. There, before a misty-eyed crowd, the aged and nearly-.blind musician stepped proudly to the podium to direct the village band in his final performance, a stirring rendition of “Stars and Stripes Forever.” In 1893 Hiram W. Walrath, left, organized Nashville's first Town Band and Orchestra (not to be confused with an earlier Cornet Band). Walrath, who could play every instrument but piano, received $12 per week for directing the musicians. With him in mid1890's is brother Charles, later of Sunfield. Both wear band caps with Nashville insignia.

They want the survey as a base for evaluating the effectiveness of the certification program and were hot planning it as an enforcement effort. A recent incident has tried their patience, however, and any similar incidents may turn the survey into more than an exercise. Growers should think about the safe storage and disposal of pesticides frequently. The recom­ mended (there are no regulations) storage practices . are included in Extension Bulletin E-1025.

PHOTO FINISHING ...From Linprints Carl’s Ad Deadline — pesticides are stored. 5. Keep pesticides in their original containers. 6. Fire resistant building with a cement floor. You should post the area to warn fireman of possible toxic fumes. The signs may be available from your pesiticide dealer. The best ways to get rid of unwanted, unused pesticides are: 1. Use them as labeled yourself. 2. Give them to someone to use as labeled. 3. Return them to the dealer if possible. 4. Contract a licensed hauler to dispose of them; but this, when available at all, is expensive. 5. Or hold them in a secure place until a disposal plan can be worked out; But this prolongs storage risks and increases leakage problems. Disposal of empty pesticide containers is not quite as difficult: 1. Paper containers can be: a) burned where local regulations permit; b) opened top and bottom and 1) buried where there is no­ danger of contaminating water points; 2) or hauled to a licensed land fill if the By Warren J.

No construction or remodeling will be required to house the equipment. The only cost will be $14,000 for purchase of the EEG machine.

One more point to remember—checking loading-mixing areas can also be easily done by the EPA or MDA inspectors. Two serious points to watch here are: 1. Cover spills with soil. 2. Locate away from water points if possible or use full precautions to avoid spills or otherwise pollute the water. s Ernest Nash State Representative GAS TAX APPEAL - The Michigan Supreme Court has heard arguments on submitting last year’s gasoline and weight tax increases to a vote of the people. The Court of Appeals ruled that weight taxes could be voted on, but not gas taxes. ENERGY CUTS - Governor Milliken has ordered state employees to cut official car travel by 5 percent as part of a gas-saving program that includes staggered work hours in urban areas and increased use of vanpools and carpools. TIE BREAKER - In the closing hours of this month’s legislative session, Lt. Gov. Brickley cast a rare tie­ breaking vote in the Senate. Rather than rush through complex legislation, there was a motion to adjourn; on a tie vote, Mr. Brickley voted yes. BALANCEb BUDGET? - After all was said and done, the budget bills approved by the legislature this month add up to a balanced budget, based on revenue estimates. Total spending isto be some $9.48 billion; the general-fund portion is to be $4.6 billion. Spending will be less if the Governor vetoes some items; revenue will be less if there is a prolonged auto strike. MANDATED COSTS - The House has approved and sent to Governor Milliken SB 460, which implement the mandatedcost section of the Headlee Tax Limitation Amendment. ■ State laws which do not apply principally to local govern-", mpnt% are exempted, frqm the requirement that the stat# pay for cost of them. Thus, there is certain to be a lawsuit challenging this. CONSERVATION LOANS - The Public Service Com­ mission has approved rules which allow utility companies to make interest-free loans to homeowners for installing fuel­ conservation devices like insulation and furnace, modifications, as long as the loans can be paid off in 7 years. This will help save natural gas; loan costs can be recovered by a surcharge on all utility bills. SCARED STRAIGHT! - The “Scared Straight’’ program, in which juvenile offenders are exposed to prison conditions to deter them from crime, has been temporarily, discon­ tinued because a preliminary study shows that those in the program do not commit fewer crimes than others. LAND INVENTORY - The Senate has approved and sent to the House SB 443, which would order a statewide land resource inventory, with the state picking up 75 percent of the inventory’s total cost. The inventory would include geology, agriculture, wildlife, and metal deposits. OLD BOATS - Governor Milliken will soon sign into law HB 4394, which lowers the registration fee for boats built before 1940 which are collectors’ items used in exhibitions, parades and club activities. Under this bill, the fee for such vessels would be one-third the normal fee. Nashville Heating Sales and Service 2O5’/2 S.

If the company recovers more from its customers than its costs, a refund is made.According to a commission spokesperson, the pverrecovery was incurred partly because Consumers has cut back on the amount of synthetic natural gas it had expected to produce at its Marysville plant. The rates were based upon a Marysville production level that was higher than those actually experienced however. The Marysville plant is temporarily not producing gas^and the PSC is working on a revised PGA clause to reflect this. Michigan fruit production reported down for 79Prospects for Michigan,s fruit crops are mainly lower this year compared to the large- production of most fruits last season. The first apple production forecast for 1979 pegs the crop at 720 million pounds. A thinner fruit set coupled with a heavy June drop are factors decreasing the possibility of two consecutive large crops; however adequate moisture should allow good sizing and a large production compared to most years. The sweet cherry forcast remained at 58 million pounds. Apeach crop of 35 million pounds is forcast, a big 42 percent decline from last seasons output.A severe winter and untimely spring frosts hurt the peach crop. Michigan,s pear crop, is expected to dip to 12,000 tons in 1979, a decline of 8 percent over last year. Blueberries have the distinction of being the only Michigan fruit showing an increase in production over last year, among the crops being estimated. For the U.S. apple production is forecast at a record 7.72 billion pounds, 1 percent above last years total. Other fruits showing increases are sweet cherries up 14 percent above last years total. Other fruits showing increases are peaches and pears up 8 percent and bluberries up 7 percent. Michigan wheat production up: corn down Michigan’s 1979 winter wheat crop is forecast to be 31,570,000 bushels according to the Michigan Agricultural Reporting Service. This production is 75 percent higher than last year’s short crop and 3 percent above the previous projection on June 1. Based on conditions as of July 1, Growers expect to harvest 770,000 acres with an average yield 40 bushels per acre, a state record. In the first corn forcast of the year, production is set at 177,loo,ooo bushels, a 3 percent ■ drop from last season. The decline is due to a 4 Bushel drop in the projected average yield to 77 bushels per acre, as growers expect to harvest 2,300,000 acres for grain. Oat production is expected to total nearley 16 million bushels, down 22 percent from last year with an average yield of 55 bushels per acre. Rye production is forecast at 625, ooo bushels, averaging 25 bushels__ per acre and barley is projected to be 799,ooo bushels and 47 bushels per acre. The first summer potatoe production estimate for the 1979 crop shows a 4 percent increase in production over last year to 1,505,000 cwt., due to an increase in acreage for harvest. Yield is forecast at 175 cwt. per acre, the same as 1978. The fall potato acreage is also down 6 percent to 32,000 acres Rains in late June should help the potato crop development. Nationally, winter wheat production is expected to total 1.56 billion bushels, up 25 percent from last year and 9 percent above the June forecast. Corn production is pegged at 6.66 billion bushels as of July 1. This is 6 percent below the record crop of 1978. Proposed state standards tougher than Federal OSHA Phone 945-9554 for Want-Ads Notices, and or News items Proposed state standards regarding employment of youth in agriculture, currently in the stage of being finalized, would be stricter than current federal standards. The definition for Michigan youth would identify “minors” as persons under 18 years oFage while federal standards identify youth as persons under 16, according to Harold Scharp, operations manager of the Michigan Agricultural Services Association. In addition, Scharp reports, several other proposed state standards would be more restrictive than current OSHA regulations. One such standard would require most all tractors which youth would operate to be equipped with roll-over protective structures, regardless of date of manufacture. The proposed standards must be presented for public comment before becoming effective. Public hearings may be held in mid-August.

Railroad, Hastings Ph. 945-9926 PURINA HEALTH PRODUCTS Five generations gather in Nashville — A Farm Bureau spokesman told members of a Senate subcommittee in Washington, D.C. July 17 the farm organization supports provisions of S. 334, the Family Farm Antitrust Act of 1979. The act would, establish a reporting system to gather additional in­ formation on the absentee ownership of farmland. Vernie Glasson, Director, American Farm Bureau Federation's National Af­ fairs, testified before members of the Senate Judiciary Subcommittee on Antitrust and Monopoly, in favor of enactment of language which will prohibit the use of agricultural land as a long-term, tax-sheltered investment by pension and profit-sharing funds. “While Farm Bureau is concerned about the entry of nonagricultural entities into agriculture, our policy does not call for an outright ban on the purchase of farmland by nonagricultural firms or foreign investors, regardless of the extent of their non­ agricultural holdings.” Glasson said.

The first Sunshine Tea was held in 1938, and is an event that many from far and near look forward to attending each year. Mrs. Ava Kroger, who is a Vermontville news correspondent for the Maple Valley News, was awarded a special bouquet of flowers Publishers respond to Four for attending the Sunshine Tea for more years than any other in attendance. Mrs. Kroger has attended the. annual event 30 times in its 41 year history. Receiving the the prize prize for for Receiving being the oldest in at­ tendance was 91-year-old Bernice Curtiss. g.

Milliken and the Michigan Press Association (MPA) jointly called for such action from publishers in a press statement issued July 20, from Mackinac Island. The Governor asked publishers to continue running the special classified sections for, “The duration of the energy crisis.” Jacobs said his papers would do so. “To qualify for free in­ sertion, pool ads should be pooling request written up on classified forms provided in each paper — ads must be mailed to reach the publishers on Saturday preceding publication dates,” Jacobs said. In making the request, Milliken and the MPA noted success in a state operated van pool. The pool began operations in 1977 and now runs 48 vans. “The state government van pool has saved over four hundred­ fifty thousand gallons of gas,” the statement noted. In addition, each van in operation eliminates five tons of air pollution and saves individual riders $1,000 each, Milliken said. Spokesmen for several local businesses and manufacturers say company management encourages car pools. “Steve Johnson, the president of (Hastings) Manufacturing is pooling Cont. pg. 3 — Public meetings planned for sewer project discussion — Two public information meetings, to inform Nash­ ville voters of a proposed $4.8 million expansion to the village’s sewer system, were set for next month by village officials at Thursday’s council meeting. Members of a councilappointed Public In­ formation Committee will present a comprehensive explanation of the proposed project and conduct a question-and-answer session during the public meetings, to be held August 13 and August 30 at Castelton Township Hall in Nashville. The earlier, Monday evening, meeting is scheduled for 7:30 p.m. and the later one, Thursday, will be at 8:00 p.m. Represen­ tatives of William Works of Grand Rapids, engineers on the sewer expansion project, will also be present at the meetings, designed to enlighten voterswho must make a decision on the expansion program in a special Sept. 11 election. At that time, the council will be seeking approval to accept an offered $3.5 million in federal and state grants to proceed with the sewer project and voter consent to finance the local share of approximately $1.3 million by a" bonding issue. . In other action related to the proposed sewer ex­ pansion plan, the council adopted a Step 3 engineering agreement with Williams and Works, authorizing them to proceed with lab tests, to establish and review rates and user charges-including industrial cost recover— determine process, etc. All are preliminary services necessary to speed receipt of grant monies if voters give a nod to the project in September. The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and Michigan’s Dept, of Natural Resources have offered Nashville grants totaling 80 percent allowable project costs. The village has been under order of the DNR since 1968 to abate pollution of the Thornapple River from effluent discharged at the present wastewater treat­ ment plant. The proposed project would construct a new lagoon and irrigation treatment facility on Brumm Road, west of Nashville. The expansion would also build several lift stations and provide service to 250 homes, including 27 presently served by a Lentz Street collection line and another 40 homes on septic systems flowing into storm drains running into Thornapple River or Quaker Brook. In other business, the council adopted an ordinance governing conduct in all village-owned parks. The law goes into immediate effect, and violation of the ordinance constitutes a misdemeanor, punishable by up to 90 days in the county jail and-or a fine of up to $100. Also adopted was an ordinance banning parking of all semi-tractors or trailers on the newly surfaced business district parking lot, west of Main Street. Signs prohibiting such parking will be posted. The council also agreed to install six “handicapped parking” signs on the new lot, designed to accomodate approximately 120 vehicles. The council tabled a propsed ordinance that they must adopt to comply with a new state traffic code, effective August 1, which decrees that most traffic offenses will no longer be criminal charges. All but the most serious traffic violations will be considered civil cases under the new law. Acting Police Chief, Sgt. Eugene Koetje told the council Thursday he would be at the Barry County Sheriff’s Dept. Monday to attend a meeting designed to clarify the new law. The council decided to postpone adoption of the new traffic code pending a further report on the subject by Sgt. Koetje. Work begins on parking area at new wing site at HGB Hospital The first sub-contractor to begin work on the construction of the new wing of Hayes-Green-Beach Memorial i Hospital, Gerald D. Harris & Sons, Inc. of 2600 Lansing Road, Charlotte, Michigan, went to work this week be­ ginning the task of clearing the area to be used for the parking. Mr. Gerald Harris and his three sons, Richard, David and Clarence were hard at work with heavy equipment. The above photograph shows one large tree being toppled by machine with Dick Harris at the controls and the other photograph pictures that area after the tree was down. The Hospital Expansion Fund, still, active presently stands at approx­ imately $740,000. �Th« Maple Volley Newt, Nashville. Wednetdoy, Acjuil 1, 1979 — Page 2 Nashville News For 33 years Lorena Fedewa of Nashville has shared her life by letter with an English pen pal whom she had never seen. But all that changed early this month. July 2nd Lorena flew from Detroit to Heathrow Airport, London, to meet her friend. Armed only with a photo and a description of clothing that Mrs. Florence Causon of Gloucester would be wearing, Mrs. Fedewa arrived in the mammoth air terminal but failed to spot her friend among the throng of travelers. Having her paged through the airport intercom, Lorena soon located Florence, who had been standing nearby all the time. “We had so much in common,” said Mrs. Fedewa of her friend, “and the family made me feel so much at home.” (Florence is the mother of five.) During a two-weeks stay Lorena enjoyed sightseeing at traditional London land­ marks and also visited Stratford-on-the-Avon. The friend­ ship between the pen pals goes back to Lorena’s schooldays in Portland, when she found part-time work in a local restaurant. There she met an English lady employed as a dishwasher, asked her to suggest a possible pen pal, and started writing letters to Florence. A bundle of 33-years of airmail letters, all saved, chronicle that friendship. The only time Lorena and Florence had talked, prior to their face-toface meeting this month, was by phone during our big snowstorm of January 1978. One of the most touching memories of the recent meeting was a surprise party arranged by Florence for Lorena, while she was out sightseeing with the Couson youngsters. When she returned, the house was filled with friends and neighbors for a celebration in her honor. “I cried,” admits Mrs. Fedewa. Sunday dinner guests at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Vem (Fern) Hawblitz of Nashville were Paul Bell of rural Nash­ ville and his daughter, Marcia, of Ann Arbor. White paint, marking appartus, and CETA youths produced approximately 120 parking spaces on the village’s new asphalt lot west of Nashville's business district early last week. In addition, about a dozen cycle-sized spots were delineated and a traffic lane around the perimeter of the lot, between Washington and Sherman Street, was marked to guide motorists. All that’s needed now is some clearly visible “parking in rear” signs, located in strategic Main Street spots, to encourage shoppers to use the convenient new parking facilities. Perhaps this will also encourage merchants on the west side of Main Street to expand rear AT ANY AGE... Irene’s beauty shop 204 W.

The Cloverleaf Class of the United Methodist Church will meet at 1:30 p.m. Thursday, August 5th, at the home of Bill and Mary Hecker of Brumm Road. Hostess for the event is Mrs. William H.

Mrs. Helen Furlong of Nashville is still confined at home, at this writing, recuperating from a heart attack suffered in mid-June. The Education Committee of the Nashville United Methodist Church will meet at 7:00 p.m. Wednesday, August 8th, at the church. The Nashville Garden Club will meet Tuesday, August 7th, at the home of Mrs. J. H. Austin, south of Nashville. Apresentation will be made to the club members to explain various aspects of the proposed sewer project in the village. Members of the council-appointed Public Information Committee will speak to the group in a continuing effort to enlighten local voters who will make a decision on the project in an election set for Sept 11th. Attendance at “Children’s Story Hour”, a month-long Tuesday morning event sponsored by Friends of the Library throughout July, continues to set fantastic records. There were 76 younsters present at Putnam Public Library for last week’s session, and 95 gathered there the proceeding Tuesday. These figures far exceed the turnout for this an­ nual event in past years, thanks to the efforts of the newlyformed Friends group. Storytelling, films, games and surprises planned by the FOL have attracted the children and many members of the organization have volunteered their time to supervise the activities under the direction of Mrs. Merry Lee Ossenheimer. Today marks the final chapter in the program, as the youngsters and their teachers conclude this summer’s session with a picnic at Putnam Park. All will bring a sack lunch and meet at the library at 10:30 a.m. for a surprise. The picnic follows, and parents are to be at the park at noon to pick up their children. The Friends of the Library will meet at 7:30 p.m. Tuesday, August 14, at the library to evaluate the summer program, plan for a fall book sale, and discuss the possible purchase of a film projector. All are welcome to attend; the organization needs many friends to help with their very worthy projects. Jim Sheldon of Ludington, son of Mr. and Mrs. Nate Sheldon of Nashville, sustained rather serious injuries last Monday in his employment as a construction worker. He has been hospitalized at Ludington with a concussion and multiple facial fractures and was expected to undergo surgery Thursday to have three breaks in his cheekbone wired. Nate and La Duska went north following the mishap to be with their son and his wife, Lori. Golden Agers of the Nashville United Methodist Church will meet for a noon potluck dinner at the Community House, Thursday, August 12th. Cecil and Juanita Barrett, former village residents now of Lakeland, Florida, arrived in Nashville last Tuesday for a week-long visit with friends here. They are staying with Rose and Adolph Douse, Jr., who are winter neighbors of the Barretts at Lakeland. While in Michigan, the Barretts also called on Cecil’s sister at Sturgis and Juanita’s sister at Lansing. Another Florida visitor at the Douse home last week was Adolph’s sister, Mrs. Harold (Theresa) Voelker, a Nashville native now of St. Petersburg. The Douses drove to Grand Rapids Wednesday to meet Mrs. Voelker’s flight at Kent County International Airport. Enroute home, they enjoyed dinner at the Mid-Villa restaurant near Middleville. Mrs. Voelker, the former Theresa Douse, has been a Florida resident for the past 15 years and it has been nearly seven years since she has returned to her hometown. While here she will also call on her sisters, Mrs. Agnes and Pauline are also Nashville natives. Mrs. Scobey is recently retired from nursing at Pennock Hospital. A “Men’s Breakfast” has been scheduled for August 5th at the Nashville United Methodist Church. The 7:30 a.m. event preceeds morning worship service at the church, and will be held in the Community House. An outstanding performance by singer Leslie Uggams and several other stars highlighted last Monday evening’s performance at the Lowell Showboat, attended by fourteen senior citizens from Nashville’s Nutrition Site. The local group journeyed to Hastings, via a Nashville Baptist Church bus, and were joined on the excursion by a number of seniors from Hastings Site. After supper at McDonalds in Hastings, the Jour proceeded to Lowell, arriving about two hours before the 9 a.m. showtime. Several of the seniors enjoyed browsing downtown before the performance, staged on Lowell’s new showboat! previous ship was destroyed in a windstorm last year)'. After an exciting evening of en­ tertainment, a group of weary but happy senior citizens arrived back in Nashville shortly after 1:00 a.m. Some of the Nashville folks who enjoyed a recent Saturday evening ice cream at Gresham Church near Vermontville were Mrs. Caroline Jones, Mrs. Verna Frederick, and Mrs. Gladys Histead. Recent weekend guests at the home of Johnny and Montielle Dull of rural Nashville were their daughter, Mrs. Barbara Ross of Adrian, and her children: Betsy and Brenda and foster son, Tran Phan. Also weekend guests were Melanie and Michelle Rogers of rural Nashville. A Saturday evening visitor, for a cookout at the Dull home, was Mrs. Ethel Latta of Morgan. This past week, Melanie Rogers, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Forest Rogers of Barryville, has been attending girls’ basketball camp at Alma College. Sunday dinner guests at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Clarence (Margaret) Reid of Nashville were their son and his family, Darrel and Karen Reid and sons of Vermontville. Several unusual events are- planned by the Nashville Baptist Church during an August program to progressively increase church attendance. On August 5th (also “Baby Dedication” day) the church will aim at a turnout of 850. Everyone attending who has a driver’s license will receive a special window sticker for their car. August 12th, the goal is 900 in church, and the family bringing the most persons to Sunday morning service will enjoy an afternoon of golfing and dinner out as guests of Pastor and Mrs. Lester DeGroot. Ezra Daniels, a nationally known gospel saxophonist, will be featured during morning services. On the 19th, with an at­ tendance goal of 950, the family bringing the most persons to church will receive family name plaques. On the 26th, Sunday morning services will be combined with the annual church picnic to be held at Charlton Park (there will be no Sunday School that day). Attendance goal for the outdoor service in the park is 1,000. More details will'be furnished later on each event Also, throughout August, Pastor DeGroot will be showing slides of his recent trip to Israel during all Sunday evening services. September will be “stewardship month” at the Nashville Baptist Church, with that being the theme of all Sunday School classes. Perhaps the most unusual upcoming event will be October’s theme of “Hatfields versus McCoys”, a mock feud to be staged between Nashville Baptist Church and the Lake Center Bible Church at Portage, as each seeks to top the others’ attendance record. The administrative Board and Board of Trustees of the Nashville United Methodist Church will meet jointly at the church at 7:30 p.m. Tuesday, July 31.

The Nashville Fire Department was called, out shortly after 10 p.m. Tuesday evening to a reported car fire in frontt of the Co-op Elevator on South Main. A stalled van was being filled with a gas can and fumes ignited when an arc was created by a screwdriver being used on the ignition. The motorists immediately threw a blanket over the flaming can to smother the blaze and the firefighters had to use only a small amount of water to complete the job. The van was pushed to safety and later driven from the scene with no damage done. Family reunions are keeping the family of Mr. and Mrs. Vern (Fern) Staup on the go this summer. On July 8th, Fern attended the Case reunion at Adriari to welcome her niece and husband, Suzanne and Merlin Warner, and daughter, Kimberly, of Lakeside, Calif. Also attending the reunion held at the home of Fern’s sister and brother-in-law, Mr. and Mrs. Wilson Sawyer of Adrian, were Mr/ and Mrs. Ralph Kirk and daughters of Nashville; Mr. and Mrs. Lou Hamel and daughter of Assyria; and many other Case relatives from the Adrian area. On July 15th several Nashville folks attended the Staup family reunion held at Prairie View Park in Portage. And last Saturday, Mr. and Mrs. Vern Staup and their family hosted a reunion at the Staup home in Nashville to honor Fern’s nephew, Ronald Wotring, and his children, Teresa, Keith, and Ann from El Cajon, Calif. Also present was another of Fern’s nephews, Rolland Reister, and his wife of Adrian; and other Case family members.

Wednesday, August 1.1V79 — Page 4 Memories of the past Except for his mustache, the teacher at Maple Grove Township’s McKelvey School in 1892 could scarcely have been distinguished from several male students enrolled there. Chris Marshall, then a novice teacher who later became a longtime officer of Nashville’s State Savings Bank, was instructing young men and women nearly 20 years of age when he taught at McKelvey School south­ west of town. Their education had often been delayed by farm work. In 1892 students living in the outer reaches of Nash­ ville’s rural community had not yet migrated to the new, five-year-old high school in the village. Just a few years later, many would make the daily trek into Nashvillecovering the five or ten mile round trip by horse and hi>ggy Some came on horseback. Almost all stabled their steeds at liveries in town. A few stayed with relatives in town during the week, attending school and returning home for the weekend. “It was my first schooling, at McKelvey in 1892,'* recalls George B. Dean, the only living member of that group of scholars. Dean, just seven years old at the time, walked a mile with his two older brothers to reach the McKelvey School at the intersection of Bivens and Assyria Roads. “Mother (Susan McKelvey Dean) didn’t want us to start school too young because of By Susan Hinckley the bad weather," he notes. “She didn’t want us to get so we didn’t like school." For trudging through the harsh winter, the boys wore what they called “felts’’--knee high hair-woven leggings topped by rubber overshoes to ward off dampness. Many students enrolled at McKelvey School in those early days were more adults than children “Some of older boys at­ tended just a short time in the winter," remembers Dean. “They came to school when they couldn’t go any other place." Potato digging and corn cutting kept them at home in the fall; plowing and plan­ ting detained them in the spring. Like most rural schools of that day, the McKelvey School (situated on Section 9 of Maple Grove Township in School District No. 6) catered to the needs of an agriculturally-based community. In fact, its inception can be credited to an early area farmer with nine children to educate. James McKelvey, an ancestor of Dean’s mother, was in­ strumental in founding the school. He had imigrated to the USA from Ireland, along with his brother Johnson and sister Mary. He settled first in New York state than moved on to Ohio. “James traded his wagon factory in Akron for 160 acres in Section 4 of Maple Grove Township in 1847," reports his great-grandson Ted McKelvey. “James and a son, named Johnson, made a clearing in the wilderness, built a log house, and brought the McKelvey family from Ohio in 1855." With such a large family needing schooling, McKelvey soon pushed to have a schoolhouse built in the area-offering financial support and promising to secure a teacher. Land for the school site, where the brick structure was finally built, was Knee high "felts" warm legs of young lads at McKelvey School, southwest of Nashville, in February 1892.

Married to one another in later years were classmates Kate Morgenthaler and Harvey Marshall; Mary Kunz and Orville Flook. The boy holding the slate, Howard H. Bell, became a very successful California oilman. Many of the boys became farmers; most of the girls married and moved away. Kathryn Holmes became a stenographer for Eastman Kodak in New York. Minnie Maurer learned nursing and became a nun. William O. Dean was noted as Nashville s poetry-writing beekeeper..

FOR RENT “We little ones didn’t par­ ticipate." By the time he was old enough to take part in the plays, the annual function had been discon­ tinued. As a spectator, however, he remembers well those shows staged in the early days of his childhood. “Our parents and other folks would come for the evening performance and bring along kerosene lamp­ s," he reminisced. “We didn’t have any lights in the school then.” Other utilities during early days at McKelvey School were also very basic. Drinking water, drawn from a well at a neighboring home, was carried to the school in a large pail and served by a community dipper. The building was heated with a potbellied stove, fueled by a supply of wood stacked outside. “Farmers would cut wood in the wintertime, team it in, and pile it up near the school to dry through the summerto be ready for the fall season,” recalls Dean. He claims the school purchased the wood, though it was often donated to area churches in those days. Average (enrollment at McKelvey School was, in Dean’s memory, about 30 students. Subjects were very primary-teaching fundamentals of education to rural youngsters. In 1897 George Dean began making the daily round trip into the village, from his family’s home at the corner of Assyria and Lawrence Roads, to attend high school. His education had not been delayed by farm work. “My people all went to school regularly,” he noted.. “We never stayed out of school for farm work." Some forty years later all McKelvey area scholars were coming into Nashville to pursue their education, as a general consolidation absorbed almost all surrounding township schools into the Nashville system. No longer would farm work detain rural youngsters’ schooling. An era had passed, but around the sturdy brick schoolhouse (now a private residence) lingered many happy memories of the past. clip thFsandsave if; Let Ils Do The Dirty Work | and You Can Have The Fun I | of Refinishing...

James -McKelvey’s property (now owned by Albert Bell, also a McKelvey family descendant) was situated across the road from the new school. “They (the schoolteachers) made quite a specialty of arithmetic and history,” remembers Dean. Anyone who could handle ‘Robinson’s First Arithmetic' would be in that (level of) class.” Often subjects were too advanced for the young children who were assigned seats in an area near the teacher’s desk, while older students sat farther back. “The teacher would have us little ones marking on the blackboard (while the older ones recited), recalls Dean, “or sometimes just sent us outside to get rid of us.” “It meant something to be a teacher then,” observed Dean, as he recounted the skill required to handle students in such a wide age range. “Some of the older students were nearly the same age as parents of the younger ones," notes Dean. Although he cannot recall names of teachers before his time at McKelvey School, Dean lists some of the early ones he had as instructors: Kate Mayo, Chris Marshall, Belle Garn, Mary Pilgrim, Blanche Troxel, Minnie Burham, and Ed Smith. “The teachers had to kind of mother us when we were little fellows," he added. And little ones, he said, were usually not included in the yearly “exhibitions”, a sort of theatrical per­ formance staged at the school each winter. The older children acted, sang and played musical in­ struments. “We had a great time of it," commented Dean, who recalls lumber was obtained to construct a 3-foot high stage across the front portion of the school’s interior. From somewhere, stage curtains were also acquired for the event. “I never took part though," Dean remembers. 42 acres - 32 acres • 26 acres Stuart and Elaine Southworth, Owners (517)726-1100 Phone (517)852-0943 ; �?*$ The Maple Valley News, Nashville, Wednesday.

Full moon to hinder view of Meteor shower August's full moon may be beautiful, but it will make it difficult for skywatchers to see the annual Perseid meteor shower. The full moon will make its appearance August 7 and continue to brighten the late night sky until mid August. Robert Victor, astronomer at Michigan State Univer­ sity's Abrams Planetarium , points out that because the moon will be bright until sunrise, the best viewing time for the meteor shower will be lost. Under the circumstances, says Victor, best viewing of the Perseid shower should be early in the evening of Aug.12 from the time darkness falls, nearly two hours after sunset, until the rising of the moon, about three hours after sunset. The meteor count should be about 20 per hour. If it weren't for the bright moon, observers could watch until the early morning hours when the count would likely be up to 60 per hour, says the MSU astromomer.

Wolpe announced today that he will be spen­ ding the first week of the August recess travelling throughout the Third District holding “mini town meetings” on energy. In making the announcement, Wolpe said, “So many people have written and called me to express their concerns about energy that I want to use the recess time to continue this dialogue in person. Many important energy issues will soon be coming to the Congress for votes and I want to make sure that I have the maximum amount of input from Third District residents before these issues are voted on.” Wolpe also said that members of his staff will be present to discuss any in­ dividual problems people may be having with federal agencies or additional concerns about other national issues. Wolpe will be in this area on August 9. He will be at Main and Maple Streets from 11:30 to noon in Nash­ ville and from 12:30-1:00 p.m. on Ionia St. in Ver­ montville.

The nation's university's are graduating about 6,000 chemical engineering atudents a yer, and industry is clamoring for more, said Donald K. Anderson. That's about double the rate befor the 1973 oil embargo, and probably close to the maximum given present facilities and faculty. “With any large-scale commitment to synthetic fuels, there's going to be a serious need for more chemical engineers. That seems unavoidable,’’she said. MSU produced 35 chemical engineers in 1974 and 85 in 1979. NOTICE All cancellations and changes must be in by 5 p.m. Fridays for following publication.

FAMILY DAY - This coming Sunday, August 5, has been proclaimed American Family Day in Michigan by Governor Milliken, acting on a House Resolution asking him to do so. The family unit has long been our basic strength and deserves to be recognized. CUTS CUT - Recent congressional action has halted a planed cutback of $52 million in welfare funds to Michigan. However, congressional directives to cut costs means there may still be a $20-million-plus cut during the coming fiscal year.

PRIVACY RULING - The Attorney General has issued the longest opinion ever made by that office in response to questions on the Freedom of Information Act. He said conflict-of-interest information on civil service employees and medical and pension information on retired public employees can be disclosed; but personnel files and certain arrest records are off-limits. DIVORCE PROPOSALS - The Legislative Commission on the Courts has recommended several steps to make divorce proceedings easier and less traumatic, including granting divorce judgements without going to court; allowing af­ fidavits giving reasons for a divorce rather than presenting evidence in court; and ending the “adversary” aspects. Bills will follow in the fall. ENERGY AWARENESS - The Governor has appointed a member Energy Awareness Committee to help inform the public on energy conservation and cost sayings. Also, the Michigan Press Association is urging its newspaper members to provide free ad space for car-pooling in­ formation. SERVICE REPORT. - citizens’ advisory. task force has made 38 recommendations to improve Civil Service, in­ cluding collective bargaining rights, legislative oversight committee, evaluation based on affirmative-action goals, and creating a classified executive service. ADOPTION CHANGES? - A special House Committee on Young Children’s Services is holding public hearings regarding the adoption of children; the next will be in Detroit September 6. These are prompted by the fact that it’s easier to adopt foreign children than Michigan children. ★ Position Open * MAPLE VALLEY SCHOOLS TRANSPORTATION SUPERVISOR Apply at.. .School Administration Office 11090 Nashville Highway Vermontville, Michigan 49096 852-9699 EATON COUNTY FARM AND HOME CALENDAR Wednesday, August 1-7:30 p.m. "Tips on Canning Pickes and Tomatoes”, Extension office, 126 N.

The sale was held on Thursday, .July 26, during the 49th Annual Fair. The sale of­ fered an opportunity for all to find just the type of meat they preferred, as well as an excellent time to advertise their business and support the future business people of Eaton County. With the “bang” from the gavel and the shout of “sold”, the project year for dozens of youth enrolled in market livestock projects was ended. One can be assured that the lessons and skills they have learned in responsibility, decisionmaking, animal care, and cooperation with others will follow them throughout their lives. Livestock projects serve as a basis for personal development and 4-H is one of the few youth activities today where the family can work together towards a common goal. Sixty-seven lambs were sold in the sale, along with seventy-three hogs, sixtyfour steers, six rabbits, and eight chickens. The Grand Champion Lamb was raised by Steve Gordeneer from Charlotte, and was purchased by Felpausch of Grand Ledge for $3.50 per pound. Felpausch of Eaton Rapids purchased the Reserve Grand Champion Lamb, also raised by Steve Gordeneer, for $1.50 per pound. Steve also showed the Grand Champion Pen and Security Bank of Bellevue purchased it for $1.30 per pound. Reserve The Champion Pen was exhibited by Jeff Gordeneer and sold „ to Grand Ledge Clay Tile for 85 cents per pound. The Champion Carcass Lamb . was owned by Carol Hice of Charlotte and was purchased by Fred Good of Charlotte for $1.75 per pound. The Bellevue Milling Co. bought the Reserve Champion Carcass Lamb for $1.75. It was owned by Mike Wight of Bellevue. Kris Bosworth Charlotte, had the Grand Champion Steer. He was purchased by P.C.A. and the • Federal Land Bank of Charlotte for $1.25 per pound. The final bid of $1.00 per pound for the Reserve Grand Champion Steer came from Carter’s IGA from Eaton Rapids. He was owned by Denise Murphy from Olivet. Troy Garnant, Charlotte, exhibited the Champion Carcass- Steer; which was purchased by Carter’s IGA at Charlotte for $1.60 per pound. The Reserve Champion Carcass Steer was owned by Karla Maurer from Olivet, and was bought by Tuff Kote Dinol-Charlotte Tire Co. for $1.50 per pound. Larry Treadwell from Charlotte exhibited the Grand Champion Market Hog, which was purchased by William Fox at the Citizen’s Elevator in Ver­ montville for $3.05 per pound. The Reserve Champion Market Hog was owned by Darrold Lehman, Charlotte, and was pur­ chased by Production Credit Association and Federal Land Bank of Charlotte for $2.10 per pound. The Grand Champion Pen of Hogs was purchased by Dale Hoffman Continued on page 8— Picnic winds-up Nashville Story Hour These mysterious looking footprints which have been springing up on some of the merchants' windows symbolize the enjoyment and accomplishment many local youngsters have achieve^ through participation in i the recent “Children's Story Hour" month at Putnam Library.

Dennis Smtih has agreed to the chairmanship of the St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital Bika-A-Thon in Nashville, to raise funds to support the hospital, ac­ cording to Mr. William j. Kirwen, Director of Development at the in­ ternationally recognized hospital. St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital was founded by entertainer Danny Thomas. The in­ stitution opened its doors to the public in 1962 to combat catastrophic diseases which affect our children. St. Jude’s is non-sectarian, nondiscriminatory and com­ pletely free of charge to all patients. At St. Jude’s, scientists and physicians are working side by side seeking not only better means of treatment. but also the cause, cure, and prevention of these terrible killers. All findings and information gained at St. Jude’s are shared freely with doctors and hospitals the world over. Thanks to St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital, children who have leukemia, hodgkins disease, sickle cell anemia, and other child killing diseases now have a better chance to live. The funds raised in the Bike-A-Thons this fall will assure the continuation of the life giving work at the hospital. The concern which Mr. Smith has for the work being performed at St. Jude’s is greatly appreciated, and the children hope that the citizens of Nashville will support the upcoming BikeA-Thon whole-heartedly. �Th* Mopl* Volley N»wi Nothvill*. Wednesday Auguit 8 1979 — Page 2 Nashville News A Nashville man who says he cannot swim was responsible for the recent rescue al a 14 year-old Indiana boy and his overturned fishing boat at Thornapple Lake. Biair Hawblitz took his pontoon boat out to bring the lad to shore early Friday morning, July 27. He was first alerted to the cjhuitton about 7.20 a m when his wife Leila went outside to feed the cat at their Thomapple Lake cottage. She beard cries for help coming from the lake and spotted the boy Hinging to his boat and a flotation cushion. Calling to him to remain calm and continue to hold the boat, she summoned Blair. By the time Hawblitz was in the water headed toward the t boy, other nearby neighbors had been awakened by the uproar and also scurried outside. Brought safely ashore, the young lad had suffered no apparent ill effects from the accident caused when he reportedly lost control of a small boat powered by a 25 hp motor. He and his family had been vacationing a week at the east end of the lake at the time of the mishap. His father came to the scene later to retrieve several pieces of downed fishing gear. The village of Nashville took delivery recently on a new 1979 1-ton Chevrolet truck for use in the Department of Public Works. The vehicle is equipped with a dump box, hoist, snow plow and hydraulic hook-ups. Gray in color, it is a noticeable departure from the yellow vehicles which have been standard fare for the DPW in the past. Village officials expect more economical operation of the new vehicle, especially in handling smallerjobs that previously had to be assigned to the large trucks due to lack of an intermediate sized vehicle. The truck was purchased from Frantz Buick and Chevrolet in Hastings, and the equipment came from Truck and Trailer Equipment Company of Lansing.

Just wanted folks to know that, while here, Mrs. Voelker visited her brother, Adolph Douse, Jr., and also called on her sisters (both Nashville natives): Mrs. Agnes Scobey of Hastings and Mrs. Carl (Pauline) Lehman of Bellevue. The Nashville Village Council met in special session last Tuesday evening to review the Step 3 engineering agreement pertaining to the village’s proposed sewer ex­ pansion. Present to discuss the agreement with village ofof­ ficials was Bruce Kuffer of Williams and Works of Grand Rapids, who would be engineers on the proposed $4-8 million project.

Remodeling at the store grew into a major project, he said, when it was discovered that the original north brick wall of the 107-year-old building had begun to bow out. The old brick had been wet for a number of years, but the problem magnified after the heavy snows of last winter. At first, Kelley said he thought a new con­ crete wall could be built and tied to the old wall. But in­ stead the original wall had to be torn down, and a new concrete one had to be built from the interior because of the closeness to the next building. “There’s only about enough room to put your arm through (between the building),” he said. <- Now the wall is “very secure and very strong,” says Kelley. Steel beams have been placed between concrete block columns to support the second story. The work is being done by Carl Cabral of Hastings. As long as the old homemade fixtures had to be torn out, Kelley decided to make both walls the same by adding new fixtures — counters, pegboard, and shelving. The result is a store that is designed for customer ease in shopping with modern, up-to-date .fixtures which add a brightness to the store, he said. 20% OFF The 1873 building that houses Kelley's Variety Store in Nashville is getting a face lift on the inside. Workers shown as they complete part of the extensive remodeling project which called for the complete replacement of the north wall. Because of the closeness of the neighboring building, the work had to be done inside the store.

(Photo loaned, courtesy Leah Wolroth Partridge) Water so clear you could see bottom at the river bridge drew bathers to the Thornapple in Nashville's early days. Young men found it great sport to dive offf the high railing of the old iron bridge on North Main. Another favorite "swimming hole" was below the dam, near the old ball diamond. Swimmers pictured about 1910, probably near the old mill, were left to right: Martin Graham, Kent Nelson, Harry Williams, and Carl Lentz. (Photo (Photo loaned, loaned, courtesy courtesy Vern Vern Stoup) Stoup) tackle.” The writer also noted that “some very fine large pike have been pulled through the ice.” An important winter harvest on the river was ice, cut and stored for use in sweltering summer days ahead. “The drug stores and hotels are filling their ice houses with a good quality of ice, ten inches thick, from the river,” observed the News in January 1879. Springtime, the river became a magnet-drawing droves of sportsmen to its banks. “Will Gokay and Don Pember caught a blue heron in a steel trap on the river Saturday, taking the bird alive and unharmed,” revealed the News in April 1898. A year later, another popular sport was chronicled: “The banks of the river are lined with dip nets, and some fine catches have been made.” Ten years later, dip netting was still attracting sportsmen to the Thornapple. “The dip net fishermen below the dam have been reaping a rich harvest the past several days,” advised the News in April 1908. “Saturday, suckers were taken out by the basketful and nearly everyone who visited the dam carried home a string of fish.” Summertime, and river activity flourished. “Will Irland caught eight pickerel in the millpond Wednesday afternoon in two hours, by trolling,” reported the News in June 1901. “They weighed from three to five pounds each.” .. . nm.iQin A traditional summertime harvest on the Thornapple was turtles, as explained in an August 1906 News ac­ count: “Last year a great many turtles were shipped from this place, while this year very few have been shipped. They are caught in traps in the river here, packed in barrels and shipped to Pittsburg, where they form the chief ingredient of soup served at hotels and restaurants.” “The turtles are shipped alive and are said to make the trip very comfortably,” noted the writer, adding an austute observation^ “Reason for lack of action in this local industry is said to be lack of turtles, and one wonders if there is not also a lack of turtle soup in Pitt­ sburg.” Adventure and commerce notwithstanding, summer also brought woes along the banks of the Thornapple, at least to some, as evidenced by E. D. Williams “Notice to Fishers” published in the News, June 1898: “People coming in the river near my premises will please bring bait, lines, and poles, as my supply of fishing tackle and bait is used up, tools for digging bait lost or stolen, my time occupied filling up holes made by people digging for bait, or trying to keep my fences and yards in repair, and therefore cannot find time to wait on all, and my means are too limited to furnish free fishing tackle to the public, or to hire a hand to dig bait.” Nature, as well as man, occasionally played havoc on the Thornapple in summer’s intense heat. In August 1878 the News recounted one such incident which reached the ears of village fathers: “Sam Durkee appeared before the village council Monday evening with a claim for $7.50 for collecting and disposing of dead fish floating on the millpond recently, when the hot weather killed the finny population by the hundreds for a day or so. The village fathers decided Sam per­ formed the service on his own initiative, without being properly commissioned by the municipal authorities, and therefore has no legal claim for remuneration. However, they awarded him 75 cents.” On occasion, village fathers also became in­ volved in controlling uses of the Thomapple. One such incident may have bordered on the scandalous at the time. In July 1904, village president L. E. Lentz issued the following admonition in the News: “Parties who have been making a practice of bathing at the river bridge without bathing suits are hereby warned and notified to stop this practice, otherwise the village authorities will prosecute all such violation of the or­ dinance prohibiting such practices.” Boating was another summer recreation that drew early Nashville residents to the river, though many opted to go to Thor­ napple lake instead to pursue the sport. Sometimes they would head up river from the lake, a practice which ap­ parently exasperated a News reporter in June 1881: Continued on page 11. row®d UP the river" where it was said mosquitoes would °ut of a mortal in 61 minutes."

(Photo supplied) “The question before the assembly today is as follows: Why it is that the majority of the young folks who go boating on Thor­ napple lake row up the river, where the mosquitoes, it is said, will suck the life blood out of a mortal in just 61 minutes.” If pesky insects weren’t enough to worry the writer, by August 1903 the paper was fretting over a potential health hazard lurking in the millpond. “We believe the people of Nashville within a few years will insist that the upper millpond be drained and the land dried up and reclaimed,” predicted the News. “It is extremely fortunate that some serious epidemic has not already struck the village, and the reason, most likely, is that prevailing winds are from the southwest and thus blow the disease germs from the stagnant water the other direction.” More than a quarter century later the millpond remains, with no dire effects despite the News’ gloomy forecast. Over the years the dam creating the millpond has been maintained and restored to preserve the backlog of water, originally designed to power turbines at mills that were the mainstay of early Nashville industry. Often the repair work was done by those who profited, at least in some way, from its existence. “The /dam is being repaired and rebuilt,” noted the News in November 1905, “the work and expense being shared by the ice men, cold storage men and the village, the latter chipping in $25 toward the cost.” Perhaps the most colorful use of tributary, however, had little to do with leisure or livelihood. “Sunday saw another crowd of people baptized in the river,” observed the News in July 1878. “Let the good work continue and soon there will not be a sinner left in Nashville." The 4-H Special Riding Program has completed a very successful Spring and Summer session. It is hoped that we might run a short fall program, riding one day a week during parts of Sep­ tember and October. Riding lessons take place in Fowler’s Field, just across the road from the Eaton Intermediate School District offices on E. Packard Hwy,, north of Charlotte. Volun­ teers are needed to lead horses and walk along side the riders, giving support and aiding balance. Volunteers are also needed to saddle and bridle horses, as well as help students with special harnesses and helmets. Volunteers need not have horse experience. A brief training session will run prior to the first riding session. Horses and ponies are also needed. Animals need to be quiet and easy-going. It helps if they have a smooth, comfortable trot All horses are screened prior to being accepted to the program. If you could help one day a week,' or even part of a day each week for the fall program, or if you have a horse or pony that can be used, please call one of the following people; Kathy Whaley, 543-3646, Nola Buck, 543-2681; Jan Tirrell, 543­ 2310.

A weekly report from— Ernest Nash State Representative ENERGY TIPS - If you are in the process of buying or building a home, you should pick up a new publication from the Energy Administration in the Department of Com­ merce. The booklet details important considerations to keep in mind when purchasing or building an energy-efficient home. Call the energy toll-free hotline: 1-800-292-4704. RAIN PERMITS - Rainmaking or precipitation enhan­ cement, as it is sometimes called, won’t be allowed this year unless farmers first have a permit. Until permanent rules are written under the Weather Modification Act, farmers will first have to file the details of their project with the State Department of Agriculture. HALF-GALLONS - Gasoline pumps unable to register prices above 99.9 cents per gallon will now be permitted to compute prices based on the half-gallon price under an emergency regulation which recently took effect. The regulation implemented to handle about 70 percent of the State’s older style pumps which can’t accomodate today’s prices. SPEED POINTS - The House is currently considering a Senate Bill which would assess penalty points for exceeding the 55 mph speed limit. Supporters believe it’s the best way of ensuring compliance with that more energy efficient speed limit. HIRING HELP - Legislation providing an incentive for small businesses to hire additional employees and thereby reduce our State’s unemployment rate has been introduced in the Senate. The bill would allow small businesses to in­ crease their work forces without facing increases in their single business tax. CODE CHANGES - Michigan drivers will be the winners under a new simplified traffic code. Infractions of basic rules of the road such as illegal turns and running red lights will now be classified as civil infractions instead of misdemeanors. The result will be a drastic reduction of court appearances for such violations. ACCIDENTS DOWN - It may be too early to make a valid assessment about the success of Michigan’s new drinking age law but the latest news from the Michigan State Police is encouraging. Latest figures show a decrease of 24 percent in alcohol-related accidents in the target group of 18 to 20 year old drivers. �The Maple Valley News, Nashville, Wednesday, August 8, 1979 — Page 14 CB News and Wonder ‘Woman last week.

Fourty-five 4-H members and adult chaperones from Eaton County spent ten days in June and July visition 4-H members and their families in Adams County, Penn­ sylvania on the first of a twopart interstate exchange program sponsored by the 4­ H office. The group left Charlotte on June 24th and drove straight through, arriving in Adams County around 9:00 p.m. that evening. Each 4-H member and chaprerone spent the next nine days in the home of a 4-H member or leader out there, learning about the family and its involvement in 4-H. While there, our 4-Hers were taken on an Agricultural business tour of Adams County, treated to a day at Hershey Park and Chocolate World (an amusement park akin to Cedar Point), toured the Gettysburg Battlefield, and took a trip into Washington, D.C. where they had the opportunity to visit wuth their Congressional Representative, the Honorable Howard Wolpe. All participants from this year’s trip will be hosting the 4-H member whose family they stayed with next summer. The interstate exchange offers an excellent opportunity to learn about life and 4-H in another part of the country. Those participating in this years exchange included; Kelly Cowell. Karen Haas, Janice and Mark Siple, and David Brand of Ver­ montville. Pickle processing a “must” By Margaret Ann Ross, Extension Home Economist Pickling is an art that predates recorded history. A “pickle” is any fruit, vegetable, meat or com­ bination, preserved primarily by using vinegar and-or salt. They may be honeyed , dilled, spiced, fermented, brined or wined, according to Eaton Home Economist Ann Ross. Vegetable pickles may be cured by fermentation for several weeks or by a quick brining process. It is impertative NOT to use iron, brass, copper, zinc (galvanized) or unclean aluminum pots for pickling since these may chemically react with the acids and salts of the pickling mixture. Use enamel ware, stainless steel, glassware or crocks. It is important to use vinegar that is 4 to 6 percent acetic acid. It may be a shock to seasoned pickle makers, but most agree with the United States Department of Agriculture that all pickled products should be heat processsed as a safty measure. If you’d like the latest USDA pickling directions, stop by or call the Eaton County Extension office, 126 N. Bostwick in Charlotte. Auto Service CENTER as possible!

Box A, Nashville, Michigan Phone 945-9554 (Hastings) The Maple Valley News, Vol. 106, No. 12 - Wednesday, August 15, 1979 Truckers protest Nashville's ban on semi parking Truckers and family members representing 16 auto transporters and in­ dependent haulers living in and around Nashville were present at Thursday’s council meeting to protest the recent adoption of a village ordinance banning parking of semi-tractors or trailers on a newly­ resurfaced business district parking lot. Village officials adopted the resolution two weeks ago to prevent damage to the new asphalt surface of the village-owned lot, graded and paved in July at the cost of $26,300. Federal revenue sharing funds paid the majority of the cost. Prior to the resurfacing project, the truckers had made a regular practice of using the lot as an informal terminal, parking their rigs there between trips. The spot on which they had previously parked is now blacktopped and designated as a traffic lane around 120 delineated auto parking spots. Acting as spokesman for the truckers, Michael J. Fisher of Nashville claimed the drivers’ investigation of the new surface showed it was “built better than a Class A highway.” “Anything that went across it could do no damage to that,”. Fisher told the council. Trustee Lonny Kienutske said he realized the paving was of Class A quality but that “driving on it is not (the same as) parking on it.”Fisher confirmed that as many as seven rigs have been parked at one time in the old lot, and on rare oc­ casions there could be more than that number. Rig length is 65 ft. and loaded weight estimates, according to trucker John Sulcer of rural Vermontville, would be approximately 68,000 lbs. per rig. Kienutske said he had heard past complaints from village residents about truckers parking in the lot. He claimed it had become a congestive problem, par­ ticularly for wintertime snow removal by the village’s Department of Public Works. “We hope to keep this (new' lot cleared off,” explained Kienutske. “There are limited number of parking spaces in the lot and we are trying to orientate the people of Nashville to park back there.” The lot is ad­ jacent to rear entryways of many Main Street stores. Fisher conceded the village is not obligated to provide parking space for the rigs, but said he hoped the truckers and village officials could work out a reasonable solution for the economic benefit of Nash-ville. Sulcer estimated the truckers spend 95 percent of their spendable income in the community. Trustee Ray Hinckley suggested an unpaved area adjacent to the lot could be graveled and used by the truckers, at the drivers’ expense. “We’ll do the best we can,” Village President Harold Christiansen told the truckers. He said the council would take the matter under advisement to work out a fair solution, and would probably have an answer for the truckers within the month, In other business, Christiansen appointed a committee of Trustees Kienutske, Hinckley, and Ted Spoelstra to meet with Donald Langham, a village resident seeking remuneration for repair he did on a drain line on his property. Langham claimed the storm drain, which is . actually being used as a by the village sewer line l broke 16 years ago, spewing raw sewage into a minnow pond of his former bait shop. Langham repaired the line at his own expense, he said, to stop pollution of his minnow pond which he has since converted into a swimming pool. Langham’s septic system does not run into the drain, but other homes in the area do. He is also seeking settlement for a 75 ft. easement across his property, where the drain line runs into the Thornapple River.. In other action, the council agreed to offer for sale, by sealed bid, the old Riverside Mill-site property on North Main. The Village acquired ■ the property in 1974 in order to retain control of the Thornapple River dam. The old mill structure was razed by the village in August 1977. Cash bids over $7,000 will be accepted by the village clerk until 5 p.m., Sept. 13. The village will reserve, an easement to - the dam for purposes of maintenance, and also reserved the right to accept or reject any or all bids. A one-year option on the property expired July 31, and was not renewed. In other business, village attorney David Dimmers was present to explain an ordinance, subsequently adopted by the council, to amend the village traffic code to comply with a new state law which takes minor traffic violations out of criminal courts. Under the new regulations, only the most serious traffic offense will be considered criminal Ballots arrive for special Sept 11 election Inspecting the printed ballots for Nashville's upcoming special election September 11 are election committee members (from left) Marsha Ainslie, chairman; Joyce Koetje, Sharon Green, Phyllis Rizor, and standing) Village Clerk Susan Corkwell. Voters will be asked to give approval for the village "to undertake a grant and bond program in the approximate amount of 4.8 million dollars for purposes of acquiring and construction improvements to the village's sewer system consisting of plant and sewer line improvements and extensions of which it is anticipated that 3.5 million dollars will be federal and state grants and the remainder village bonds.." The local share of the project, approximately 1.3 million, would be financed by a bond issue with voter approval. (Maple Valley News photo by Virginia Alles) violations. Others will be handled as civil infractions, with the cited motorist given the - option of accepting or rejecting responsibility for the violation. A denial of responsibility will result in an informal hearing before a referee, or a formal hearing before a magistrate is specifically requested. In other action, the council agreed to apply for federal “critical bridge” funds through the Michigan Department of Tran­ sportation to replace the Francis Street bridge. Thursday’s action is only a preliminary step and does not obligate the village to, accept a 90 percent grant which may be offered for estimated $135,000 project.

The half-day seminar, one of eight held throughout the state this month, takes place at the Grand Rapids Holiday Inn, 270 Ann Street, at 9 a.m. The program is designed to help police comply with state requirements that adult school crossing guards receive four hours of training and two hours of annual review from local officers in traffic control, first aid and other skills. Persons attending also will review formulas to deter­ mine where guards are most needed and will receive new federally mandated reflectorized hand-held stop signs and highly visible orange-and-white-striped guard vests.

August 15, 1979 — Poge 2 Nashville News “Nashville Bucks”, a retail promotion instituted by the local Chamber of Commerce last March, will end this fall. Merchants have set Sept 1st as the last day they will issue the “Bucks” coupons, which have been redeemable at local service stations for free gasoline. Under the original plan, coupons were issued at the rate of one for every $5 purchase from a participating Nashville store, and 40 coupons could be exchanged for ten gallons of gas. In order to draw the promotion to a successful conclusion, the stations have agreed to honor 20 coupons in exchange for five gallons of free gas so that folks who have been saving the “Bucks”, but have less than the required 40, will still benefit However, no amount less than 20 will be honored. Merchants have set October 1st as the last day “Nashville Bucks” may be redeemed for gas, so ifyou have a backlog of coupons you’ve been hoarding, be sure to take note of this deadline. The coupons are redeemable at both Powers* Shell and Fargo Service Station. The community extends a hearty welcome to Roy and Elaine Johnson who recently moved to Nashville from Montana, and have taken up residence at the Maple Valley Arms apartments. Johnson, a 1977 graduate of Hope College, is the new band director for Maple Valley Jr.-Sr. High School.

The date ofNashville’s 1979 Harvest Festival has been set for the last weekend of September. Currently working on plans for the event are members of the Riverside Recreational Development Corp., who hope the festival will furnish a variety of entertainment and activities for local folks while providing fund-raising opportunities for the RRDC’s community recreational park project. A balloon ascension, reminiscent of Nashville’s early days, has been discussed by the committee but nothing definite is set at this writing. Other events tentatively planned are a Harvest Queen contest, Harvest parade and Harvest dance, in ad­ dition to other traditional festival events. In 1904 Nashville’s first Harvest Festival was staged and reportedly drew 3,000 spectators to the village each day of the 2-day affair.

Visitors may also tour most of the grounds and adjacent ranch area, where Faye noticed several beautiful but lonely-looking horses. A profusion of flowers filled the family burial site, due to the recent death of Elvis’ father, Vernon Presley. And Faye says that most visitors also bring a flower to lay on Elvis’ grave.

Wolpe arrived in Nashville in a mobile office which he parked on Main Street, opposite Central Park, but spent most ofhis time here on the sidewalk to greet folks walking by. Many stopped to offer ideas and opinions which may aid Wolpe when he returns to Washington. Some asked questions. Councilwoman Helen Curtis took Wolpe a copy of the June 20th Maple Valley News which featured a story on a local senior citizen’s drive to get door-to-door mail delivery in Nashville. Wolpe told Curtis he would look into the problem and contact her later after research into the situation. Condolences to the family of Mrs. Russell (Della) Ainslie who passed away last Tuesday at Pennock Hospital.

In addition the local officers handled four disorderly person complaints, two suspicious person and two prowler complaints; one obscene phone call; one larceny of gas; one firecracker complaint; one alarm; one illegal entry; four larcenies, and a number of other minor complaints. The Nashville police were also called on nine times to assist Barry County Sheriffs Dept, officers in July, a rather high number according to Sgt. Koetje. These included an accident; an arrest; a false drowning report; larceny of gas; one backup assistance; one reckless driving; a prowler complaint; a felonious assault; and an attempted suicide.

I want to share with you one of our recent “glamorous” experiences. We should have suspected what our weekend was going to be like from that Friday morning greeting at the Lansing airport. Instead of the usual “Hello, Congressman Wolpe,” we heard, “Congressman, we will start a search for your suitcase right away.” This was our first family trip since Howard’s January swearing-in. I wanted to spend the time going everywhere with Howard to get a sense of his working weekends. Our son, Michael, wanted to visit friends and his old school. The meetings and visits were stimulating and fun, but we proceeded to have three surprise-packed days of behind-the-scenes comedy which no one could have anticipated. The home we own in Delta Township is rented, so Howard’s normal working weekend custom is to stay overnight with friends. This time, however, our whole family was thoughtfully offered a tiny hideaway cottage on a lake south of Battle Creek. Now, this was that unusual April weekend when the temperature dropped to 20 degrees. It began to snow around 1:00 a.m. just as we found the cottage, an inviting little place with a snow- brightened night view of the lake. It had other unexpected features: no heat, no elec­ tricity, and a toilet that wouldn’t flush! “Glamorojis,” I remember giggling to myself. “That’s what this' life is. Glamorous!” We decided we could get through the next few hours. After all, what else...? Well, “What else?” turned out to be the waterbed! A COLD waterbed! Neither of us had ever slept on one before, and it quickly became clear that we were going to spend the night wide awake and seasick. And cold! I remember that night well. I listened to the water sounds. From the lake. From the bed. I wondered if water beds froze. I wondered if frozen water beds split. And I thought of Admiral Byrd and the North Pole. Instead of counting sheep, I counted penquins. Adventure. Glamour. At the Kalamazoo airport on Sunday, after travelling the district all weekend in the back of a camper-van, we sat down with the other waiting passengers, many of whom obviously recognized Howard. A man approached us with a clipboard in his hand. “Hello, may I ask you a few questions for a poll we’re taking among our passengers?” Almost every person watched and listened to the questions and answers in that small, quiet waiting room. “How often do you fly out of Kalamazoo?,..How long did it take you to get to the airport today?...Why are you flying to Chicago?” “CHICAGO??!! But we’re going to Detroit!” Every hand in the room pointed in unison -put the door, and people were saying, “They called that flight a long time ago.” We flung ourselves out into the cold air. Two planes. No visible ramps. Armed with a memory of the “Friendly Pilot” picture in one of our son’s old children’s books, I led the charge across the apron, ran up alongside the cockpit of one of the planes, and started waving for at­ tention. A very shocked pilot stared down at me and then slowly - you won’t believe this! - slid open his cockpit window to see what I wan­ ted! ! (You didn’t know cockpits had sliding windows, either!) I asked him if he were going to Detroit, and this Friendly Pilot said, yes, but that we should go to the tail of the plane. There, sure enough, was the stair ramp. I don’t know why we weren’t arrested on suspicion of trying to hijack the plane, or at least for hitch-hiking. Glamorous. That’s what this life is. Glamorous!. Oh, and by the way, Howard’s suitcase was found a week later - in Lansing!

August 15, 1979— Page 6 No gasoline shortage was noted when Nashville’s first auto appeared on the scene, but that’s not to say those early years of the “horseless carriage” were entirely carefree. Local history was made in mid-February 1902 with the arrival of the first car in Nashville, an event proudly announced by the News: “J. C. Hurd is riding ground town on a Thomas Auto-Tri, the first automobile to be used in the village. It is a three-wheeled affair, run by gasoline, and has great speed.” However, a short two weeks later, readers were apprised of a subsequent misadventure between man and machine: “Fred White tried a spin on J. C Hurd’s Auto-Tri Monday and ran into a tree in front of his home, injuring a knee so badly that he has been confined to the house ever since.” But if the new fangled machines brought harm, they also were soon responsible for fetching speedy aid. Physicians became early and eagar fans of the internal-combustion engine. “Dr. A. F. Hutchinson has purchased an Oldsmobile, the first in town,” advised the News in October 1902, “and now visits his patients by gasoline instead of horse power.” The writeY noted that “the new vehicle is a beauty and is one of the most simple and serviceable on the market.” Within the year that Hurd made local history, a distaff member of the community was making giant strides forward in behalf of future generations of women drivers. “Glen H. Young returned from Lansing Friday evening with his new Old­ smobile, and is becoming quite proficient in its management;” he noted the News in November 1902. “Mrs. Young also is learning to run the machine and thus becomes Nashville’s first lady driver.” Motorists’ skills were often severly tested in those early years , when horse power continued to far outnumber gas-powered conveyances. “Charles Nease’s team was frightened by an automobile Tuesday morning and ran away, smashing the wagon and wrecking the harness almost beyond repair,” observed the News in August 1904, just one of a multitude of such incidents. “The owner of the auto, a Grand Ledge man, settled fairly for the damage,” noted the reporter. An irony of the era was recorded in an early-June 1906 issue of the News when it reported that “new iron hitching rails have been placed in front of McWha & Hecox’s saloon and billiard hall,” and in another story pointed out that “Joe Hurd has purchased an Olds runabout and is having lots of fun with it.” fiurd, erstwhile photographer, bicycle repairman and mechanic, brought several “firsts”. to Nashville. He has been credited with marketing such diverse innovations as Nashville's poineer "woman driver” took the wheel in 1902, just nine months after the first auto appeared in i the village. Mrs. Glen Young paved the way for future female motorists like Pauline Miller Downing, shown in 1920’s photo. ice cream cones and com­ mercially-made radios to the local community. In 1910 Hurd began selling automobiles in the village, becoming one of the first Ford dealers in this, area of Michigan. Later, he was considered one of the most successful small town auto dealers in the United States. Wayne Fuller, a Nashville native now of Toledo, recalls a Ford that his father brought from Joe Hurd in the early years. It had been driven through from Detroit and the cylinders were damaged due to the car getting too hot on the trip. “We used to have to stop and clean the plugs on about every short trip we made as they would get fouled up from the car pumping oil,” recalls Fuller. Other memories return. “I can still remember Dr. Shilling driving an apto buggy.” writes Fuller. It was a gasoline powered car that actually looked more like a buggy.” Fuller later remembers Shilling have a Franklin “air-cooled job” and Kenneth A. Meade, a Nashville native now of Franklin, recalls that his first automobile ride was in a Mitchell owned by the physician. “My mother took my sister and me to the doctor, probably about 1912 or 1913, and he took us for a ride,” reminisced Meade. “What a thrill.” The Meade children lived in the country, northwest of Nashville, and to see an auto on rural roads was quite a treat. “How we would run to see one pass the house, if we could hear the car coming down the^road,” recalls Meade. “And they were pretty noisy.” Prominent local citizens are often recalled in identity to the cars they drove in those early years. “Dr. Vance, the dentist, had an Imperial called the ‘Imp’, and Ray Townsend, who ran the elevator, had a Hudson Super Six,” remembers Meade. Fuller recalls Homer Downing and his Cadillac touring car. “I can still see him going down, Main Street with that car,* writes Fuller. Albert Lentz, of the Lentz Table Company family, lived on Main Street near the Putnam home (present-day library) and had a big J. C. (Joe) Hurd, left, introduced several "firsts” to Nashville including the auto, ice cream cone and commercially-made radio. In 1910 he opened the first Ford sales agency in this area. Gasoline was dispensed with funnel from wooden storage cabinet at left. Employees Ralph Olin and M. J. Hinckley, right,, are shown in 1916 photo. Old autos highlight modern-day Nashville parades but in 1911, when cars were new, they attracted even more attention.

"“He took some of us for a ride in that one afternoon, and I remember he got it up to 40 miles an hour on what is now Thornapple Lake Road,” writes Meade. “We thought we were flying.” Meade first learned to drive an Overland touring car his father purchased in 1916. In 1920 the family bought a Model T Ford. “Of course cars were a big thrill to bojrs in that period,” observed Meade. “We were envious ofthe older boys who migrated to Flint and Detroit to work in the auto plants because they had so much contact with cars even if they couldn’t afford to own one.” One of the earliest auto trips recalled by Adolph Douse, Jr. of Nashville in­ volved a journey to Charlotte, with a flat tire developing at the base of a hill on Lawrence Road, nearing Nashville. “You needed momentum to make a hill in those day,” recalls Adolph. An unex­ pected stop at the base of a hill posed a serious problem to low-powered vehicles. The auto finally scaled the rise, but not without some dif­ ficulty, Adolph remembers. And sometime, human error alone was the downfall of early motorists, as the News disclosed in June 1914. “If there is any one fellow in this section who knows alL about automobiles, that chap is Ed Liebhauser,” began the account, as the writer reiterated the knowledge Ed had gained from reading automotive publications, and dissecting and assembling his recently -purchased “high class touring car.” Satisfied he was competent in every particular to run the car, Liebhauser started out to see the scenery from a different viewpoint. “He got along pretty well until he was coming in from his Maple Grove farm,” continued the report “Ed had one foot on the speed, lever, touching it ever so lightly, but in coming down the Boston hill the speed of the car became somewhat accelerated by the declivity, and Ed thought he would put on the brake, but instead of shifting his foot from the speed lever he pushed it down.” “The car promptly showed Ed it was capable of doing something fancy in the speed line,” the writer observed, “and it cut loose a pace that so bewildered Ed he forgot he was steering a derailed locomotive and. gave the ' steering wheel a twist that switched him into the gutter at the side of the road, where the dangerous machine struck a snag and .turned turtle, throwing Ed half a city block.” Unhurt, except as to feelings, Ed came on. into town on foot but it took Bill Woodard and his stoneboat to bring in the machine, which had a badly smashed wheel and a few other marks of “high life on the road.” EATON COUNTY FARM AND HOME CALENDAR Wednesday, August 15-7:00 PM Twilight Soybean Meeting, Don and Donna Tirrell Farm, 676 W.

Corkwell, Village Clerk, do hereby certify that the above is a true copy of an ordinance adopted by the Nashville Village Council, on August 9, 1979. Susan M. Corkwell, Village Clerk Wolpe says rationing here, In a sense’ U.S. Representative Howard Wolpe (front) and staffer Tim Hafner discussed energy problems and constituent's questions on a circuit through the Third Congressional District last week. Reminder writer accompanied Wolpe on part of the trip to obtain this interview. “I hope we’ll never see gas rationing,” said Rep. Howard Wolpe. “But in a sense,” he continued, “We have rationing by price now.” Wolpe said workers who travel long distances to antT from work must have fuel available to meet their needs should gasoline shortages or rationing occur. “It is terribly important the government have a plan ready for rationing should the necessity arise,” Wolpe commented. Such a plan should be set in motion by, “A major shortfall of production and-or imports,” he continued. Wolpe observed both house and senate versions of the gasoline rationing bill, now in conference committee, call for rationing to begin in the event of a 20 percent shortfall for 30 days. “A twenty percent short­ fall for thirty days could mean disaster for the country, Wolpe said. Wolpe thinks Americans would act in concert to conserve energy and develop Reward program designed to halt wild turkey kills The Michigan Wild Turkey Federation has paid their first $50.00 reward under a new program designed to halt the illegal killing of wild turkeys in Michigan. Dale Davis of East Lan­ sing, President of the Turkey Federation announced that Roscommon man who called conservation officers after witnessing Edward L. Green of Roscommon drive into a flock of 12 wild turkeys will be the first recipient of the reward. As Mr. X told the story to officers, Green hit the birds, then stopped and loaded three of them into his vehicle. The Turkey Federation guarantees anonymity to tipsters providing information to enforcement officers. “The high incidence of illegal killing is intolerable,” stated Davis. Legitimate sportsmen everywhere detest it and are committed to doing something about it. We in the Federation hope our reward program can in some small way make an impact on illegal activities. Until the average sportsman' declares war on the poacher, this menace will never be erased.” The Michigan Wild Turkey Federation is dedicated to restoration of the American wild turkey, improving the quality of sportsmen going afield, and the education of all people about the benefits of wildlife and a natural environment. Those wishing to display one of the special reward posters can by writing: Michigan Wild Turkey Federation, 2181Eifert, Holt, MI 48842. is denied, the House should take another look,” he commented. Asked why the President has been unable to obtain gy legislation g energy he deems imperative, Wolpe said , thee President’s staff is not proficient procent, “In the Washington atmosphere.” He said President Carter is a sincere, honest man who's, “Shown courage in taking on the tough issues.” “But I’m disappointed in the lack of leadership or direction on the part of the White House,” Wolpe con­ tinued, adding his belief the President is,, “Too insulated.” Wolpe said he won’t get involved in the Kennedy for President movement. “It diverts attention from the critical problems facing the nation now,” Wolpe said, then continued, “I don’t want to wait eighteen months to move on those problems — we have to turn this mess around.” PROFESSIONAL BUSINESS DIRECTORY LIMESTONE & MARL (Delivered and Spread) CRANEWQRK • Drdinage Ditches • Farm Ponds DARRELL HAMILTON Rt. 3, NASHVILLE PH. 852-9691 ST.

He. also noted oil is not a renewable resource and will certainly be expended sooner or later. “Developing alternative power sources is a must,” he said. Wolpe said he enjoys working in Congress and believes he was fortunate in being appointed to his present committees. He seryes on both Foreign Relations and Science and Technology committees. “I had some things going for o mee — I’d served as consultant to the State Department and the Peace Corps as a specialist in African affairs,” Wolpe said regarding his Foreign Affairs assignment. He cited a background in public utility regulation and energy while a member of the Michigan legislature as a reason for assignment to the Science and Technology committee. Wolpe observed, “Congress has opened up in a way not true some years ago — the institution isnow truly democratic.” Chair­ men of congressional committees now are elcted by secret ballot Wolpe said his biggest disappointment as a Congressman is the government’s, “Inability to make decisions.” Wolpe made his reputation in- politics as advocate of citizen’s rights. He is perhaps best known for expressing his belief people can change things. “Voters have to keep track of what their representatives do and advise them on the issues,” he said. Wolpe thinks special interests have the political ‘clout’ now, “But that is changing rapidly,” he ob­ served. Wolpe said he voted against the ouster of Rep. Charles Diggs pending, “Outcome of Diggs’ appeal,” on a conviction for taking kickbacks from his staff. Wolpe termed Diggs a “Discredit to the in­ stitution,” and said association with Diggs is, “One of the most unpleasant aspects of my work in Congress.” Wolpe said the most sacred principle in American politics is the right of the people to represen­ tatives of their choice. “Only three members have ever been removed all for treason.

August IS. 1979 — Page 10 West Virginia 4-H’ers enjoy Nashville hospitality By Susan Hinckley "Almost Heaven" are the words songwriter John Denver used to describe West Virginia in his smash hit, “Country Roads, Take Me Home.” Country roads that took three West Virginia 4-H youths home Saturday after a week’s stay with rural Nashville families, wind through picturesque hillside farms. Most of them are a good deal smaller than Barry County acreages, according to John Lucas, 16, of Grafton who was a guest WATER HEATERS GAS OR ELECTRIC 30 GUL 4 UP NASHVILLLE HARDWARE 105 NORTH MAIN ST. 852-0713 I J of the Earl Wilson family on Thornapple Lake Road. John lives on a 60-acre farm which bis father operates in ad­ dition to his full tjme job as a meat cutter at Grafton supermarket. Melodi Howdershelt, 16, of Valley Furnace, was a guest of the Bill Semrau family of S. Clark Road. She lives on a 248-acre dairy farm, one of the largest farms in Barbour County, and one of only 3 dairy operations there. Melodi said that country (secondary) roads in her region of the state are more often paved than she noted in Barry County. An art and photography enthusiast, Melodi brought along a stack of colorful seasonal photos she had taken of her home region to share with new­ found Michigan friends. John, Melodi, and Paula Jones, a 15-year-old from Philippi in Barbour County who was a guest of the Forest Rogers family at Barryville, were part of a contingent of 15 West Virginia 4-H’ers who came to When a bereaved family makes its first call at the funeral home for arrange­ ments, usually they are grief stricken, physically exhausted, frightened, not knowing what to expect or what is expected of them. It is a difficult time for both the family and the funeral director. We wish we could make the experience less devastating - there are no easy answers. V FUNERAL DnVCKMS 'Voqt FUNERAL HOME in Nashville Phone 852-0840 Barry County for a week­ long visit, as the first part of a 2-year exchange program between Barry County and West Virginia 4-H families. In some cases, the exchange may work out on a one-to-one basis, allowing a 4-H member of a hosting Barry County family to spend a week next summer with the guest’s family in West Virginia. All three of the youths visiting the Nashville area expressed amazement at the "flatness” of Michigan's terrain; they are used to a mountainous region they prefer to call "hilly”. John thought farming here would be much easier due to the level land. He was also impressed with what he considered the immense acreage (600 acres) farmed by the Wilson family. In John’s home, Taylor County, a 300-acre farm is considered large. There are a good many more dairy farms here, he noted, as there are only two in Taylor County. “We do not raise a lot of crops, just mostly gardens and some beef,” John ex­ plained. “Railroads and coal mines are the main em­ ployers in our area.” John was also amazed at the size of the equipment used on the Wilson farm. Due to hilly terrain in his home area, smaller scale farm machinery is used. John raises registered Angus heifers and shows them at yearly county fairs, much as Barry County 4H’ersdo. President of his 4-H Club, the Haymond Eagles, John is a senior at Grafton High School and enjoys welding, hunting and fishing in his spare time. His 14year-old brother Bill is also a member of the exchange group, and was hosted for the week by a Dowling family. Melodi’s 4-H Club is called the Kasson Willing Workers, and she serves as vice­ president. She has exhibited Petunia, the cow, had plenty of attention last week at the Earl Wilson farm during the visit of a 4-H exchange youth from West Virginia, John Lucas. John (left) and Bill Wilson shared a lot of fun experiences during the week. sewing and crocheting in 4-H competition at county fairs.

Contests range from judging animal carcasses and fitting an animal for show to public speaking and livestock photography. Entrants need not own animals to participate in the Livestock Expo. Several contests, such as livestock judging and meat iden­ tification, evaluate the contestants’ knowledge without requiring them to provide their own animals. The Livestock Expo is designed to interest youngsters from all backgrounds in livestock production, encouraging those who don’t have animals themselves to become active in livestock projects.

Purina Sow Chow has everything your sow needs to help her develop, farrow and nurse big litters of husky pigs and maintain her own body weight at the same time. Workshop for women's bowling league officers Authorities estimate that 20% to 33% of all pig embryos conceived are resorbed by the sow early in tne gestation period, if she is fed a poorly balanced ration. Asa result, hogmen who don't feed their sows properly lose lots of pigs they never even see! That's why it pays to feed a proved ration like Purina Sow Chow.

Two very successful programs were the full length Walt Disney movies which were shown. The first was held at the library, but because of the huge "turnaway” crowd, the second was held in the Griswald Room of the Congregational Church. More than 120 at­ tended each movie, ac­ cording to estimates. (Editor’s note — Portions of this article which first appeared in last week’s Maple Valley News were inadvertently omitted).

When the spunky Ver­ montville lady was quizzed at her 99th birthday celebration Friday about her secret of longevity she quickly replied, “Being happy, I guess.” Mrs. Freida Laurent of Nashville, a niece to Mrs. Barnes’ late husband, Arza, added, “Aunt Mina is always smiling, no matter how ill or sad she may be.” It was at the Kinsel High­ way farmhouse where Arza was born and raised that Friday’s event was staged. The home is now the residence of another niece to Arza, Mrs. Luman (Fern) Surine. In addition to Mrs. Surine and Mrs. Laurent, others present at the party were Mr. and Mrs. Talbert Curtis of Vermontville; Mrs. Mabel Barnes of Lauderhill, Florida; and Mrs. Veda Guy of Nashville. (Mrs. Curtis is a niece-in-law to Mina, and Mabel is a cousin-in-law). “Mina is witty and full of fun,” observed Mrs. Guy, a friend who cares for her while she resides at the home of a niece, Mrs. George (Greta) Firster of Ver­ montville. “Mina has lots of friends and visitors,” noted Mrs. Guy, “and even though she uses a walker to get around, she still makes her own bed.” Mina Harvey was born August 17,1880 at Van Wert, Ohio and came to Michigan when she was “about three or four,” as she recalls. She came from a large family, four brothers and four Continued on page 9 New pumper-tanker arrives in Nashville A bright shiny traditional red-colored fire truck is in service at the CastletonMaple Grove Townships-Nashville Fire Department.

The recent 2-part Disney production of “Justin Morgan Had a Horse”, aired on consecutive Sunday evenings, August 12th and 19th, has prompted nationwide members of the Morgan Horse Association to stage “Open Barns” to allow the public free viewing of their animals, said to be America’s first dist­ inctive breed. Participating locally will be Herbert and Roxie Andler, owners of Maple Leaf Morgan Horse Farm on Guy Road. Interested persons are encouraged to stop out at the Andler place on August 26th (an “Open Barn” was also held there this past Sunday) to see their Morgan horses and also to view buggies custom-made by Herbert. Production of the carriages has also been recently recorded by a television camera, as Andler’s unusual occupation was the subject of an “On the Michigan Road with Dick Evans” feature, aired by Channel 8 of Grand Rapids earlier this year. Mrs. Arthur (Mabie Frith) Drake entered Pennock Hospital last Monday. Please take time to cheer her with a card. Nashville firemen were called to the home of Mrs. Ruth Williams of Kellogg Street last Tuesday evening, about 11 p.m., when the house filled with smoke. Upon arrival at the scene, the firefighters discovered a plugged chimney which was clogged from a residual buildup. The firemen used a portable fan to clear smoke from the residence, and carried the offending space heater and stove pipe outdoors. An at­ tempt to clear the plugged chimney with a crowbar was unsuccessful. The Nashville Fire Dept is very proud to announce the arrival of a new fire truck, a 1979 Ford$8000 pumper-tanker. A fully equipped caterpillar diesel, the new “fire wagon” has a 750 mid-ship pump and carries 2,500 gallons of water.

With the addition of the new vehicle, the local fire department now boasts three fire trucks, one grass buggy for fighting grass fires, and one panel rescue unit, plus the ambulance operated by the Nash­ ville Ambulance Dept. The local ambulance crew was called to the scene of a recent 1-car accident on Thornapple Lake Road, near Barger, which resulted in a fatality. Killed was 25-year-old Duane E. Stemaly of rural Nashville. Stemaly and a passenger in his car, Russell Burgdorf, Jr., 20, of Nashville (both were of Thornapple Lake Road) were thrown clear of the car which struck a tree after leaving the roadway. Since only one ambulance had been summoned, the Nashville crew transported both victims to Pennock Hospital, where Stemaly died. The accident occured shortly after 6 p.m. Friday, August 10. It was policed by the Barry County Sheriffs Dept A less serious incident summoned the Nashville am­ bulance to Butler Road, east of M-66 south of Nashville shortly after 10 p.m. Sunday, August 12. A man walking along the road was struck by an off-road motor bike driven by a young lad. Neither was seriously hurt and the am­ bulance returned to town, no transport being necessary.

The team’s sponsors, Steakhouse owners Agnes and Don Hughes, also attended the eyent and Agnes presented the team with a special cake she had baked in their honor. About fifty Canadian geese arrived in Nashville last Wednesday evening to call on five relatives that reside year‘round on Thornapple River. The visit of the northern birds in our village was heralded by much honking and flapping of wings, raising quite a noisy but fascinating ruckus along the banks of the stream. Dinner and a tour of antiques displayed at Cornwell Turkey Farm near Marshall was enjoyed by about thirty Nashville Senior Citizens last Wednesday noon. They are members of a group that normally meets once a month at the V.F.W. Hall here. Ford and Marie Rhoades of Bryan, Ohio were Monday visitors at the home of his parents, Rev. and Mrs. E. F.

Later, the group enjoyed dancing to music from a large collection of records dating from the 1950’s to the 1970’s. Acting as “disc jockey” was a Charlotte man to whom the collection belongs. Traveling the farthest distance to attend the event were Anita Weber Pyle of Chicago, and Marvin Marshall of Goshen, Indiana. (Marvin was featured in a Maple Valley News story last November when he and his computerized nutritional feed program for cattle were covered in a Time Magazine report that month). Also present for the reunion was Mrs. Hilda Baas ofNashville, advisor for the Class of 1959. Mrs. Don (Helen) Barlow of rural Nashville underwent additional surgery at Pennock Hospital last Tuesday, having had an earlier operation a couple weeks ago. A benefit softball tournament for Helen will be staged this coming weekend, August 25 and 26, at Maple Valley High School. Both men’s and women’s teams will compete in the event Anyone wishing more information on the tourney may call any member of Leech’s Loggers softball team.

The recent wedding of Marcia McMillen of San Jose, California, to Tom Cislo of Detroit, brought a houseful of company to the home of the bride’s grandparents here, Mr. and Mrs. Keith McMillen of Nashville. Marcia’s parents, Connie and Marie McMillen of San Jose, arrived a week before the August 11th wedding at Woodland’s Zion Lutheran Church. Marcia’s aunt, Susan McMillen Lamie of Oklahoma City, arrived on a flight to Lansing two days prior to the ceremony.

Deanna and the Pascos stayed with Mrs. Marshall while here. The 5 p.m. church ceremony was followed by a reception for 125 guests at the Lake Odessa Community Building. The event was catered by Mrs. Viola Cunningham of that city. The newlyweds have taken up residence at Ypsilanti where the groom is employed as an insurance safety analyst. The bride will continue her education at University of Michigan. After the Keith McMillens guests departed last Monday, they enjoyed a Tuesday trip to Akron, Ohio to visit Alice’s mother, Mrs. Gertrude Rett. With school opening just one week away, local youngsters will be delighted with the unusual school bus, complete with flashing lights, which has become quite a conversation piece at Simon Pharmacy. It was designed by employee Mrs. Lou Ann Luna. Mrs. Eliza Emery of Nashville attended the 34th annual reunion of the Gehman family Sunday, August 12. The event was held at the home of Marjorie and David Childs of Bismark Hwy., north of Vermontville.

Roscoe covered the distance in 54 minutes, 7 seconds and is looking forward to participating in a 7-mile race on August 25th in Hasting’s Summer Run. Employees of Nashville’s Wastewater Treatment Facility received a Safety Award of Merit last week from the Michigan Water Pollution Control Association for their safety accomplishments during 1977. The award is presented annually to a Michigan wastewater treatment facility in recognition of effective management and safe operations. The daily operations in a treatment facility involves many hazards which could result in serious per­ sonal injury or illness, even death to employees and-or the public. It is the mark of a highly efficient team, supervisors and employees, who have worked “safe enough” to earn the Merit Award of Safety, which indicated there were no ac­ cidental deaths and no lost workday cases during the year. Recent.Wednesday afternoon callers on Mrs. Edith Jones of Nashville were Mr. and Mrs. Gordon Baker of Lansing; Mr. and Mrs. Issac Nesman of Grand Ledge; and Mr. and Mrs. Norman Daniel, also of Grand Ledge. Mrs. Herfnan(Catherine)Maurer and son of Jackson were Tuesday afternoon callers of Mr. and Mrs. Vern Hawblitz.

Elton and Cherie Decker of Lyndon, Kansas were honored at a 25th wedding anniversary reception at the United Methodist Church in Nashville Sunday, August 5. The event was hosted by Elton’s family, the Ard Deckers of Nashville and children. Elton, a 1952 NHS grad, and his wife (a Kansas native) were in town for a 2-weeks visit. They were ac­ companied to Michigan by one of their four children. Many friends and relatives attended the festivities which served as sort of a dual anniversary celebration and “homecoming” for Elton. (Incidentally, in 1952 he became the first NHS recipient of the Franklin Baker award for “outstanding athlete of the.’year.”) Mrs. Naomi Watson and Mrs. Martha Lee, both of Nash­ ville, enjoyed a recent trip to Farwell in Clare County to visit friends, Mrs. Doris Ford and Mrs. Lydia Henderson. Wives of Nashville firemen were victorious over spouses of Delton firefighters in a waterball battle staged during Delton’s recent Founder’s Day celebration. Winning first place and bringing home a trophy for the local department were: Thelma Christopher, Karen Powers, Vicki Smith, Lorna Wilson, Teresa Decker, and Marabelle Yarger. Don’t forget an exciting waterball competition set for Sept. 16 at Sandyland Park here. Local firemen and their wives will challenge departments from throughout Barry County. Proceeds of the event, which also includes three hours of muscial entertainment, will be split three ways. Our local fire and ambulance department will each receive one third of the profit with the remaining third going to the park. Kathi (“Sam”) Hughes, daughter of Don Hughes of Nash­ ville and Mrs. Darlene Hughes of rural Nashville, was recently selected Miss Horsemanship in a National Pinto Championship horse show held at the Daniel Boone Arena near St. Louis, Missouri. The 1976 MVHS grad was also named first runner-up in the Miss National Pinto Queen contest staged at the weekend event. Poise, personality and “horse knowledge” were criteria for selecting the queen. The title of Miss Horsemanship was awarded to Kathi when she was judged the best rider and handler of her steed in various competition in western and English-style show riding. Prior to the St. Louis event, Miss Hughes had received the title of Miss Regional Pinto Queen in earlier competition. ; The 50th reunion of the Robert J. French family will be held at noon Sunday, August 26th, at Putnam Park in Nash­ ville. Lyle French, of our village, is in charge of arrangements for the potluck affair. The French family, mostly from the Eaton Rapids area, has met every year since 1929 for a reunion. Ancestors of the clan originally migrated to the USA from England. A Castleton Township native and lifelong area farmer died last Tuesday at Barry County Medical Care Facility. He was Oscar F. Kaiser, 92, who was born in a log cabin in the township and farmed most of his life on his Thornapple Lake Road property. Oscar never married and has no immediate family, but is survived by a grand-niece, Mrs. Shirley Fox of Hastinigs, and her two sons, SPC 4 Steven Fox of Ft. Camp­ bell, Ky., and Richard Fox of Nashville. Services were held Saturday at St. Cyril Catholic Church.

Violation of any other provision of this ordinance not constituting a civil infraction, as herein provided, shall be punishable by a fine of not more than ninety (90) days or by both such fine and imprisonment. This ordinance is hereby declared to be an emergency ordinance and it is further declared to take effect August 9, 1979.

The station was first housed in back of town hall, a Methodist Church building partially destroyed in an 1880 fire before it was purchased by the village and moved from the church site to Main Street. In a 1920's photo, Nashville fireman pose in front of the structure which was finally renovated as a full-scale station. In 1947 Castleton and Maple Grove Twps. were incorporated into the department and in recent years the old building was razed to construct a new station encompassing the site of the old town hall and adjacent blacksmith shop. mH leRh« *Me's *■•81 to ^®Ut 1] <*tewll ’^^Ct Rs •*?<?>> ■■•5Be?lt u„,a(®M (®siMii jjlgV> situ c*Wj Mt ® cats? wrics •IteLac us siren systems replaced primitive alarms, and in 1954 the Old fire bell which had been located atop the Maple Street tower (adjacent to the present-day Steakhouse) was placed bn the grounds of Putnam Library for dedication as a monument to comrades who had died while serving as firemen. Until 1947 the Nashville Fire Department was operated by the village. Perhaps a blow from the Great Depression caused a September 1930 notice in the News that “under an arrangement now in effect, the village’s rural fire truck will not respond to fire calls outside the village limits unless the person calling has a membership for this service. Membership may be had for $25.

Equipment, department housing, and training of volunteer fire .and am­ bulance personnel has been updated many times since Orno Strong’s day. But 75 years after the spunky writer pushed for village fire protection a modern-day editor of the Nashville News again took a stand in support of local firefighters. In November 1949 publisher Don Hinderliter wrote: “The Main Tavern fire early Monday morning was a striking example of the need of our fire department for im­ proved equipment for en­ tering smoke-filled buildings. If the firemen had been equipped with a couple Scott Air Pack outfits that Chief Charles J. Betts has long wanted the Fire Board to buy, two men could have gone in and found the blaze and squelched it in a matter of minutes-probably without having to use water.” Needless to say, Scott Air Packs are now standard fire department equipment in Nashville.

From 9 to 4:30 Vermontville l^Ph. 726-0330z Nashville News continued— An old book sale, which should delight collectors as well as readers, will be sponsored by Nashville’s newly-formed Friends of the Library during Nashville’s 1979 Harvest Festival, set for the last weekend of September. At last Tuesday’s meeting of the FOL, Joy Peake was named general chairperson of the book sale event which will be held on the lawn of the library Sept. 28 and 29th. A share of the proceeds will go to the Friends group (the balance goes to Putnam Library) and the organization hopes to use funds raised toward purchase of a movie projector. Volunteer workers and donations of books for the Harvest Festival sale are being sought frbm community residents.' If enough funds are raised to acquire a projector, there is ho doubt the FOL will make good use of the equipment, to the special delight of many younsters in our community. The FOL was responsible for the recent and very successful Children’s Story Hour program at Putnam Library, which featured films along with many other fascinating and enlightening activities. Now the organization has scheduled a “films for children” event, this one to be held at Castelton Twp. Hall at 10:30 a.m. Thursday, August 23. Two or three movies are on the agenda, reports FOL secretary Laurie Kipp. All children, ages 3 and up, are welcome to attend the showing. Redecoration of the so-called “maid’s room” on the second floor of Putnam Library is another project being undertaken by the industrious FOL group. They are currently seeking volunteers who- know something about wallpapering so that walls of the small room can be refur­ nished. The library board recently decided the renovated room will house the rare book collection. These volumes, too valuable to be circulated, will be placed in glass cases for in­ library viewing. Congratulation to Mr. and Mrs. Thomas (Ann) Taylor of Nashville on the birth of a son last Tuesday, August 14, at Pennock Hospital. The new arrival weighed 8 lbs. 13 ozs. and has been named David Thomas. He was welcomed home by a two-and-a-half year old sister, Holly. Proud grandparents are Mrs. Jean Jensen of Jackson and Mr. and Mrs. R. T. Taylor of Kalamazoo. And David’s proud great­ grandmother is a very special Nashville lady, Mrs. J. Robert (May Rothhaar) Smith. M. Dewey Castelein, Jr. of Nashville was confined at Pennock Hospital a week ago last Saturday, due to com­ plications from emphysema. At this writing, he was reported in stable condition. Local readers will also be in­ terested to know that his father, M. Dewey Castelein, Sr., a former village resident now of Florida, has improved following a recent stroke and was able to return a short time ago to his daughter’s home at Clearwater. (She is Mrs. Dorothea Warren.) Prior to that time, Mr. Castelein had been residing in a nursing home there. Though improved, he will be unable to make his usual summer journey home to Michigan this year. Village trustee Lonny Kienutske made a presentation regarding the proposed new sewer project for the village to senior citizens at the Nashville Nutrition Site last Thursday afternoon. About 30 seniors were present for the program which gave them an opportunity to learn the background and terminology relating to the project. They also were told of the offered federal and state grants which will help pay over 80 percent of the costs. In addition, Kienutske explained to the senior citizens various loan and grant programs that are available to aid low and moderate income families with sewer hookups and other home improvement projects. Milk production down About all you can say about the Purina Calf Growing Program is... •it leaves you all your milk to sell • it grows heifers fast • it gets them ready to breed early But then, that says a lot. Purina’s six-month Calf Growing Pro­ gram combines fortified and medicated Purina Nursing Chow® or Purina NurseGrow, high-energy Calf Startena® and Purina Calf Growena® into a program geared strictly to fast, efficient growth. Heifers grow faster and reach breeding weight earlier. In fact you can have your heifers in the milking barn—producing— months ahead of many other heifers. And that means you can sell all your milk.

Railroad St., Hastings Phone 94S-9926 Purina... planning tomorrow with research today Michigan milk production for July declined 2 percent from last year, due mainly to fewer milk cows on farms. Output slid to 402 million pounds as cow numbers declined by 10,000 to 394,000 head, according to the Michigan Agricultural Reporting Service. On a per head basis, production remained the same as a year ago at 1,020 pounds, but was down 1 percent from June. Hot and dry weather conditions in the. State for July are blamed for lower productivity. Pastures were below average in some areas due to the dry weather. Nationally, July milk production was 10.7 billion pounds, up 2 percent from a year ago, the largest gain over the previous year since November 1977. Production per cow averaged 997 pounds, 23 pounds over July of last year. Cow numbers, at 10.7 million head are down 1 percent. For Michigan dairy products, butter and cheese production both declined in June while ice cream output was virtually unchanged from a year ago at 3,700,000 gallons. The 3,000,000 pounds of butter and 2,000,000 pounds of cheese manufactured resulted in declines of 1 percent and 8 percent, respectively.

Details of the new procedures are outlined below. ATTENDANCE POLICY Because of the recognition that attendance at school is necessary for success, minimum attendance requirements will be initiated in order to receive credit towards a diploma. Under the attendance policy, a student may not be absent from a class more than twelve (12) times during a semester. Absences beyond twelve (12) in any one class will result in no credit in that class for that semester. It is to be clearly understood that a student does not have the right to miss up to twelve (12) days. The twelve days of absence will alllow for illness and other circumstances which would justify a student missing school. The following absences will not count towards the twelve days: Being out of town with parents, being under a doctor’s care, death in the family and-or funeral at­ tendance, and attendance at school related function (field trip, athletic contests, etc.) Learn to Prepare Income Taxes «SSg S E^ts; ts; I***>*.'. • Accurate with figures? • Like to meet the public?

When a student is absent from school, the parents are urged to call or send a note to the school office within two days, explaining why the student was unable to attend school. This information will be kept on file and referred to, if and when the student reaches twelve absences. The attendance policy and the procedures that will be followed in connection with it, will be discussed in detail with the student body during the first week of school.

A few more budget bills are yet to be passed through Saturday. next month. The amount vetoed is 0.3 percent of projected state spending. “SUBURBIA” SPLIT? - Opposite ends of the state have been angling for geographic distinction: there have been periodic proposals to make the Upper Peninsula a separate state; and now next month there will be hearings on HB 4748­ 4784, which would separate the western communities of Wayne County from the City of Detroit and create the new county of “Suburbia.” BAIL DENIAL - The Attorney General has ruled that last fall’s ballot Proposal K, which denied bail to violent and repeat criminals and which was approved by the voters, took effect on December 23 father than May 1 as originally intended by the legislature. The State Elections Division deleted the May date from the proposal, so it was not voted on and does not pertain. LIQUOR ADVERTISING - The Liquor Control Com­ mission has scheduled a public hearing for Wednesday, September 5, on the Governor’s proposal to eliminate bans on price and brand beer advertising by retailers and on quantity wholesale discounts. This may promote price competition. SNOWFALL STANDARDS - The Attorney General has ruled that since the legislature did not require it, our Department of Transportation cannot measure snowfall for the purpose of making grants differently than the method established by the U.S. Weather Bureau.

New faces at Maplewood Elementary School in Vermontville are (left) Robin Asma who will be involved with emotionally impaired children in special education and Laurie Fox who will be a resource teacher working with learning disabilities. For the first time, teachers' names have been painted above the doors at Fuller in bold letters to make room identification a snap. Jerry Banfield brushes on the final letter over this door. Jerry's also been busy painting the walls in the hall. They are now a cheerful, warm ole orange accented with apricot. Readying classrooms are a big job for both custodians and teachers who have been busy, days before stu­ dents arrive, decorating bulletin boards and adding other warm welcome touc­ hes.

Wedneidof August 29 1979 — Poge 2 Nashville News Country artisit Tom T. Hall, noted for his storytelling in song, drew a record-sized crowd to Sandy land Park Sunday, August 19. Musk lovers flocked to the park despite threatening clouds to hear the entertainer whore unique down-to-earth songwriting talent has earned him the title “Poet of the Common Man.” Fortunately, Sunday’s rain held off until after both the afternoon and evening per­ formances were completed. Hall made a special hit with the audience when he invited two youngsters on stage to help with a couple numbers, including his famous “I Love.** For all the children in the audience be sang “Sneaky Snake.” The multi-talented artist played five musical instrumentsthe banjo, guitar, harmonica, piano, and saxophone-to accompany his vocal renditions during Sunday's show. Neighborliness at Howard Point on Thomapple Lake is a big thing, and has been celebrated by an annual gathering there for the past several years. Sunday, cottage owners at Howard Point again gathered for the potluck dinner event, this time in the yard of Joel and Gladys Hummel’s summer place. Forty-four were present for the affair. Nashville firemen were scheduled to undergo training this past Sunday to learn operation of the new Ford pumper­ tanker recetnly acquired by the local fire department. In half-hour shifts, two men at a time were to go through a briefing session on proper handling of equipment on the new rig. Remember the public hearing scheduled for Thursday evening, August 30, at Castleton Township Hall regarding the proposed new sewer project. Time is 8:00 p.m. Evidence of the recent Mexican oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico was spotted by Mrs. Gloria Johncock of Nashville, who returned home last Wednesday evening after a week­ long Texas visit.

Main — NASHVILLE PHONE:852-9747 By Susan Hinckley an a flight from Detroit Virginia and husband Bill had recently been in Michigan visiting relatives, and Bin had flown home a week earlier. In Texas, Gloria enjoyed a multitude of fascinating tours but one special sight caught her eye-a porpoise seemingly leading an oil tanker into Galveston Bay. On the beach at Galveston, Gloria saw signs of the oil slick which recently arrived on the Texas coast but it did not spoil her visit to the beautiful and historic island city. At Houston she saw the Astrodome; the Johnson Space Center (NASA); the Galleria Complex, a huge multi-level mall centered with an ice skating rink, adjacent to the Houston Oaks Hotel. A trip to the zoo and an immense flea market were also on the agenda, as was a rodeo at an indooor arena near Houston. A daily dip in a swimming pool at the Cox’s apartment complex helped relieve the 90-degree t temperatures there. The flight home was pleasant but Gloria’s arrival at Kent County International Airport was a little hectic. Four chartered planes carrying 1700 Calvin College students home from an Oregon excursion landed at the same time, creating quite a hubbub in the terminal. Gloria was greeted by her daughter and family, Suzy and Larry Corkwell and daughters, Lisa and Becky. Mrs. Bertha Becker of Nashville was a Sunday and Monday guest last week at the home of her granddaughter and family, Mr. and Mrs. Roger Hardenburg of Eagle. From Monday through Wednesday, Mrs. Becker visited her sister, Mrs. Eileen Neitzel at Greenville. Mr. and Mrs. Gerald (Gertrude) Montgomery of Thornapple Lake enjoyed a recent visit from their children for sort of a family reunion. Their daughter and her family, Kay and Dennis Collier and four sons of South Bend. Indiana where here for a week-long stay. During the Colliers’ visit the Montgomery's son Gene and His wife, Pat flew in from Houston, Texas to join the family. Rev. Leonard Putnam of the Nashville United Methodist Church returned home last week on a flight from Texas after a visit with his daughter Sally Putnam, at Houston. While Rev. Putnam was in the southland his wife, Amy, was serving as a counselor at a United Methodist Conference Camp at Crystal Springs near Dowagiac. The camp was conducted for special education youngsters. Of interest to local readers will be the news that Rev. "Bing” Crosby, formerly of the Nashville United Methodist Church and now pastor at Cassopolis, conducted a devotional service at the camp and served as a counselor. Sunday, September 9th, has been designated “Three Score and Ten” day at the Nashville United Methodist Church, to honor senior citizens who are 70 and over. The seniors will receive recognition at morning worship service and also at a 12:15 p.m. dinner in the church Community House. The program for the event will be presented by Ed and Edna Smith. The Nashville United Methodist Women will meet at the home of Mrs. Grace Marisch on North Mason Road, Wed­ nesday, September 5th. Election of officers for 1980 is scheduled for the 7:30 p.m. event An August birthday party for residents at the Provincial House in Hastings was staged last Wednesday afternoon by members of the Nashville Baptist Church and friends. Cathy Vessecchia played guitar and sang; Kenny Meade, Jr. played the banjo and his sons vocalized; Dixie Brand of rural Vermontville delighted the audience with a clown act; and Kim and Jennifer Tutt, daughters of Ronald and Joan Tutt of Nashville, also sang. Assisting in the whole affair were Marie Fisher of Nashville, Bernice Leonard of near Hastings; Mrs. Tutt; and Sandy Priddy of this village, who made a special birthday cake for the event and presented it to the folks at the nursing home. Mrs. Verna Frederick of Nashville attended the annual Wonser family reunion held at Putnam Park Sunday. Several family members were present from the Eaton Rapids and Charlotte area. Mr. and Mrs. Gene Mater of rural Nashville hosted a family dinner in honor of Gene's birthday Sunday. Present in addition to the Mater family were Gene’s mother, Mrs. Mary Mater of rural Nashville; his aunts, Mrs. Nellie Moon and Miss Dorothy Edmonds, both of this village; and Miss Alice Fisher, of Nashville. Roy Boise of Nashville is now working part-time for the village, having been recently empolyed under the Michigan Green Thumb program. On the work force, he joins Ovid Price who has been a village employee for a couple years under the same program. Mr. and Mrs. Ralph Richardson of Nashville called on Mr. and Mrs Fay Hummel at Hastings last Tuesday evening. Nashville’s community birthday calendars for the 1979-80 season arrived last week and were delivered by members of the local Lions Club, which is responsible for its production as an annual fund-raiser. Billed as “an adventure in comcom­ munity friendship,” the calendar not only lists individual birthdays and anniversarys of community resident but also schedules upcoming civic, social and school events. Pic­ tured on this year’s production is the new Maple Valley Arms apartment complex on Lentz St Last year’s featured the new Eaton Federal Savings and Loan Ass’n. building on Main Street, so the calendars are also serving as a photo chronicle of our community’s growth. Putnam Public Library received a 3-M photocopying machine last week through a donation by Mrs. Gale (Alice) Keihl of Nashville. The gift is greatly appreciated by the library board, and will greatly aid library personnel who in the past have had to run down to village hall to have material copied. A system will also be established whereby library patrons may also have duplicates run off on the machine at a nominal fee. The Marathon “C” Store at the comer of Main and Reed Street is currently undergoing a facelift which includes an “eyebrow” overhang, a very popular architectural feature incorporated in the recent remodeling of several Nashville business places. There are now about a dozen places sporting some version of this attractive facade. Potential new sewer users in Nashville got a break Thursday evening when the village council reduced the estimate “up front” charge from $1,200 to $600. (Complete details elsewhere in this issue). Voters will have a voice on the proposed project in an election set for Sept. 11. Work has begun on the John and Catherine Beedle memorial room on the second floor of Putnam Public Library. Wooden bookshelving has been installed in the large south, bay-windowed room. Carpeting and an im­ proved overhead lighting fixture are also on the agenda. The project is being financed by memorial donations received by the library in memory of Catherine Beedle, and funds contributed by the Beedle children. When completed the restored room will house the library’s music and classic fiction collections. Also undergoing extensive renovation on the library’s upper level is the so-called “maid’s room” at the head of the stairs. Friends of the Library members were scheduled to begin patching and preparing the walls and ceiling for papering this week. At their meeting last Monday evening, the Putnam Public Library board took under consideration an appropriate title for the room which, when completed, will house the library's rare book collection. These volumes, too valuable to be circulated, will be displayed in glass cases. Other rooms currently in use on the second floor are a meeting room in the northwest corner, restored by the Woman’s Literary Club, and the Michigan and Local History Room in the northeast corner, created as a Bicentennial project with funds received from the village and both Castleton and Maple Grove Townships. Mrs. Edna Gibbons of Nashville enjoyed entertaining her two young great-grandchildren, Jennifer and Jimmy Merritt, last week. After their Sunday-through-Tuesday visit here the children's parents, Jerry and Pat Merritt of Marshall, picked them up and the family enjoyed a trip to Cedar Point at Sandusky, Ohio.

STATE STREET IN HASTINGS sent to answer questions. �The Maple Valley News, Nashville, Wednesday, August 29, 1979 — page 5 Council cuts initial charge in half for proposed sewer system Property owners to be served by Nashville’s proposed $4-8 million sewer expansion project got a $600 break Thursday night. Village officials decided to cut the initial “up front” charge of $1,200 in half. Projected monthly rates were not affected by the move. Thursday’s decision will benefit 183 new users who will be served by the system if village residents approve the project in a scheduled September 11 referendum, x Federal and state grants totaling 80 percent of the project cost have already been offered to the village. Thursday's fee slashing was made possible by an additional $168,000 “alternative processes” grant offered by the Environmental Protection Agency because Nashville plans to use a new lagoon - and - irrigation wastewater treatment system. Nashville has been under order of the Michigan Dept, of Natural Resources since 1968 to abate pollution of .the Thornapple River. Brian Myers and Steven Eldredge, DNR represen­ tatives, were present Tom T.

During Sunday's performance at Sandyland Park, Tom T. Hall accompanied himself on no less than 5 different instruments, backed by his band "The Storytellers." at Thursday’s meeting to answer audience questions. Opponents of the plan as proposed said Thursday it should only include the present wastewater treat­ ment facility and two collection points known to be polluting the river and Quaker Brook, both of which flow through Nashville. Trustee Ted Spoelstra explained that village of­ ficials had proposed the entire grant-eligible portion of Nashville be done because 80 'percent grant funding is now being offered for the sewer project. Trustee Lonny Kienutske pointed out that if voters reject the plan and the village ends up in court on the DNR order, the $3.5 million grant offer would no longer be available. He also said additional DNR in­ vestigation would probably identify other points of pollution in the present sewer system. In other business, the council agreed by an in­ formal poll of its members to consider extending a lease of unpaved village-owned property to truckers whose semi-tractors and trailers were recently banned from a newly-paved business district parking lot. Approximately 16 transporters and independent haulers had made regular use of the village-owned lot to park their. rigs between trips, prior to the $26,300 paving project. Village officials, fearing damange ot the new surface, had banned the rigs which weigh an estimated 68,000 lbs. each when loaded. Michael J. Fisher of Nashville, acting as spokesman for the truckers, said they property owners whose land will be acquired for the new wastewater treatment facility if the sewer project is approved. —Granting a 25 cent hourly increase to DPW employee Scott Decker, for successful completion of his 90-day probabtionary employment period.

He said the truckers would gravel the area and it could be reached without crossing the new asphalt. The council found the suggestion favorable but would not take formal action without consulting the village at­ torney on lease terms. In other action, the council hired Walter Pincumbe, 25, * of National City in Iosco County as a Nashville police officer. PinCumbe, with two years experience with the Iosco County Sheriffs Dept, and four years criminal justice studies at Lake Superior State College, was selected from' 15 applicants for the post He will start as a patrolman at an annual salary of $11,500 plus cost of living allowance. In other police business, the council granted a $50 per year allowance to each, village officer to purchase and maintain his own side arm, effective Sept. 1. In other matters, the council heard objections from two local residents opposed to sale of the old Riverside Mill site, owned by the village since 1974. Cash bids over $7,000 are being accepted on the property until Sept. 13. Opponents of the sale favor retaining the parcel for use as a public park or boat launching site. The lot lies adjacent to the Thornapple River on Nashville’s north side. The village plans to retain an easement across the property for purposes of maintenance to the. village-owned Thornapple River dam.

(Photo loaned, courtesy Gladys Miller Richardson) operetta “Pocahontas” was presented by the high school glee club and grade students. The News said it was “an outstanding success.” Mildred Wotring took the part of Pocahontas, Donald Sprague Was Powhatan, Richard Wheeler was Enosit-All, Virgil Springett was Capt. John Smith, Gladys Remington was WahWah-Tay-See, and Margaret Furniss was Queen Anne. “Powhatan” was ap­ parently multi-talented. Baseball season opened in early April with a game at Charlotte. “Sprague will pitch for the locals and , (Max) De Foe will be behind the plate,” informed the News. Nashville won that game and by early May had captured their 20th con­ secutive victory in two years by beating Middleville, 12-10. Less jubilant sports news was reported a few weeks NOTICEof,. hi BBllW nib feta H1 bmA »jpose a re^fen i later. “Tne Nashville High baseball team, after a winning streak that has continued without a break for the past two years, finally went down in defeat Tuesday, losing to Freeport WESTERN PINES TACK SHOP jUf 192 N.

In May another popular topic of conversation in­ volved the clock. School officials decided families of all students of Nashville school would be given an opportunity to express their preference regarding the adoption of daylight savings time for the balance of the school year. Like the ex­ pansion proposal, that issue also found little local sup­ port. “As a result of a popular vote last week by parents of all school children of the local school, daylight savings time was rejected in favor of continuing on regular time for the balance of the school year,” the News revealed while pointing out that, “Practically all the other nearby towns have adopted the faster time.” Fast time or slow, the Class of 1925 was probably much too busy to notice. They were diligently rehearsing the senior class play, “And Home Came Ted,” to be staged at the Opera House May 29th. Rave reviews followed, duly reported by the press. “The senior class made a decided hit when they presented their play Friday night in the opera house,” declared the News. “Out­ standing performances were given by Gertrude Powers, Gladys Remington, Merle Hoffman, Donald Sprague, Homer Gribbin, Rudolph Wotring, John Johnson, Virgil Springett, Mabie Parker, Leia Palmer, Theresa Douse and Mildred Andrews, who made up the cast.” Nashville athletes also gave an outstanding per­ formance in June when they copped the Barry and Eaton Coutny track title at Mid­ dleville, after which they won the baseball cham­ pionship by beating Freeport 13-5, in the annual Class C field day. “In field events Nashville scored 63 points, Middleville was second with 39, Woodland was third with 22, and Vermontville, fourth with 3 points,” reported the News. On June 11 the Class of 1925 graduated. “On Thrusday evening the second largest class in the history of Nashville High school, consisting of 28 students, The family of Oscar Kaiser would like to thank the Friends, and neighbors for the cards, and flowers, and comforting words, and help thay gave us in the death of our Uncle.

Apparently the administration did not fare so well. “G. E. Bersette will leave the Nashville school system at the end of the school year to accept a much better paid position as head of the Newago schools, where a new $157,000 building is in the process of construction,” disclosed the News in a spring report. “The school board has engaged E.

During the Barry County Fair week 13 went by van and enjoyed the afternoon at the Fair. On July 17th, 15 ladies from Woodland, calling their group “The Kitchenairs”, entertained us with their unique Kitchen Band, playing 10 numbers which included favorite melodies from World War I, sen­ timental songs, hymns and Patriotic tunes. Their in­ struments were contrived from household articles utilizing such items as a washboard, a tub, a cup and even a parasol -frame combined with Kazoos. Edith Buxton directed, and Edna Towne played the snare drum, furnishing us with a most enjoyable hour of music. On July 23rd, the Nashville Baptist Church bus transported 15 Nashville Site people to Hastings, where they were joined by members of the Hastings Site. After supper at McDonalds the group traveled to Lowell to attend the evening program of the ‘‘Show Boat’*i featuring Leslie Uggams that night. The group arrived home about 12:30 or 1:00 P.M.

The following day, George London of the Yankee Park Springs Division showed slides of the Yankee Springs area, which included some of the oldest homesteads of the area and the people who first settled there. Many pictures of the Lakes and beautiful scenery in Spring and Fall, the Wildflowers and Wildlife, along with his explanation of the recreation and nature trips available to groups, helped us to realize how extremely fortunate we are to have such an heritage to enjoy so close to home. On July 27th we had a beautifully decorated cake and ice cream to celebrate the six people who had July birthdays, and to observe the marriage of Gladys Miller and Austin Schantz, both group members for whom romance bloomed. We presented them with a carnation bouquet and wished them happiness and good companionship, and they reciprocated by treating the group to sweets. We e were favored avore by y ano another er visit of Raber’s Stomp Band who entertained with lively music. We never tire of their entertainment or the antics off Mrs. K’K s ’s “body language”.

Everything was in readiness for hosting the Seminar of the Advisory Council of Southcentral Michigan Commission on Aging at the Nashville Site on Aug. 7th. The tables were enhanced by bouquets of beautiful flowers donated by group members, and by several floral arrangements done by Edna Edwards. Guests were present from Kalamazoo, Battle Creek, Marshall, Woodland, Hastings and Constantine and 65 or 70 enjoyed lunching together after the morninglong session. We held our regular monthly Site meeting on the 14th, and on the 16th a Nash­ ville Village Council member, Loimy Kienutske, came in with charts and explained to us the proposed new sewer system for the Village, which is to be voted upon Sept. 11th. An important issue, to be sure. Ten of our group and one van Load from Hastings attended the Ionia Fair on Aug. 10th. We had an en­ joyable afternoon, but were forced to leave during the middle of the Semi-feature Stock Car Race due to time limitation. ; We enjoy: having guests and have had several of late, including Edna Gibbons’ great-grandson, Jim Nerritt of Marshall; Mrs. Robinson (M.

Since so many cucumbers are coming on now, pickle packers are asking about old recipes that call for lime or alum. Lime is not needed (and not recommended) to make pickles crisp and firm, if good quality ingredients and up to date procedures are used. Most of the lime .(also called slaked lime, hydrated lime or lime hydrate) available today contains many impurities so if you plan to use it anyway (as a pre-soak) make sure you very thoroughly wash the pickles before proceeding to the next step. Alum is called for in some recipes to make pickles Evening college offers no-sweat learning !>!!■ [ iim l« HER iwk acijss kuttaz Mil inn tassta iigks KMIH iiaxi tainta «!■> llfflwi ■ tan i«i» Nfi an® WIB5W bite i S|[0 sltata tMfri irt * b jb> aM asW k*5 >*| gutfi igdW The Evening College, a facet of Michigan State University’s Lifelong Education Programs, is offering 69 noncredit courses on the East Lansing campus this fall. These courses, which meet one night a week for six to eight weeks, provide mid­ Michigan adults new insights and new knowledge without interfering with daytime schedules. They require no term papers and no exams. Fees are moderate. Among diverse course offerings are “China: A Century of Revolution,” “Chinese Paper Cutting,” “Genealogy Update, Your Family Tree” and “American Antiques.” “Family Court Practices,” “Self-Defense,” “How to be Your Own Doctor, Sometimes” and “Reality Coping” examine some of today’s problems. “Nuclear Power and Humankind,” “ Connections: Technology and Society,” “Autumn Sky-Watching” and “Field Natural Science” hark to ecological concerns. Physical fitness courses include “Psychological Experience of Running,” “Aikido, Aikido,” “Fencing” and a variety of fitness and swimming classes. “Selecting Wines,” “The Pleasures of the Opera,” “Great Films” and “Creative Job Hunting” point up other aspects of changing culture. The In­ ternational Year of the Child is marked by two courses one featuring lectures, the other films. There are instrumental music classes and classes on how to understand music, as well as courses in accounting for the nonaccountant, foreign languages, estate planning, personal letter writing and other kinds of writing. Twenty-six of the courses are new fall term. Registration in the main lobby of The Kellogg Center for Continuing Education gets underway Sept. 10 and will continue until classes begin, most in early October. Brochures may be obtained from the Office of the Evening College, 18 Kellogg Center; telephone (517) 355­ 4562. If you use it anyway, use no more than *4 teaspoon per quart of pickling solution; more will give a bitter flavor. Best pickling success can be obtained by using fresh, firm, pickling varieties of cucumbers. Slicing cukes don’t make good pickles. Make sure you remove all blossom ends and thoroughly wash and scrub the pickles before starting. Use the salt­ water-soak process called for in up to date recipes, follow all directions exactly and process in a hot water bath at simmering tem­ perature (200 F.). Processing actually helps keep pickles crisp by killing microorganisms which cause mushiness and spoilage. Freestone peaches that cling to the pit have been more of a problem than usual this year, due primarily to weather con-ditions. Red Havens, now on the market, are normally freestone when fully ripe only but to date are clinging to pits even when ripe. Those coming to market from now on should be less “clingy” but you may still have to slice them away from the pits rather than trying to separate into lovely peach halves. Weather has made the difference this year. If you’re overloaded with cabbage, have run out of friends and neighbors with whom to share and have made all the saurkraut you’ll need for the year ahead, what else can you do with the massive crop? You can freeze cabbage for use only as a cooked vegetable but it’s not a very desireable product. Freezer cole slaws Send Your Family Back-To-School With Hair Designs From The PROFESSIONALS at Razor's Edge are better (recipes are available from the Con­ sumer Marketing office) but from an economical stand­ point, you may be better off to fill your freezer with more expensive or higher quality products. Cabbage is generally fairly reasonable most of the year. You can store cabbage in outdoor storage cellars, cone-shaped pits or long pits. .Contact the Cooperative Extension Service office in your county for more directions. Home gardeners who are raising melons are asking how to tell when they’re ripe and ready. Cantaloupe should be harvested when the stem pulls away cleanly for WANT-ADS want to try. It’s much like a real fall apple but matures now, to fill the gap between summer and fall varieties. It has a solid red blush color, a tart flavor and holds up well in storage under refrigeration. It’s an ex­ cellent all-purpose apple that's gaining in popularity. Last year was the first year for a sizeable crop from young plantings. Is this a good time to stock the freezer with beef and pork? For beef, probably yes. September supplies will still be short of demand but prices have been down recently. They’re expected to increase from now on, so this might be a good time to buy. Pork supplies will in­ crease this fall and prices will be down, so you may want to wait a month or so if you want pork in the freezer.

(Maple Valley News photo by Virginia Alles) Plans for Nashville’s 1979 Harvest Festival were mapped at meetings last week of the Riverside Recreational Development Corp., sponsors of the twoday affair set for the last weekend in September. Sallye Me Lean, RRDC head, led a meeting of the board Tuesday evening and hosted an informal gathering of community volunteers Wednesday. “We need help from other civic organizations and interested individuals,” said Mrs. Me Lean. “It is impossible for five or 10 people to put on an entire festival.” Mrs. Me Lean added that there has been much local support expressed for staging the annual celebration, but workers are desperately needed. Celebration of the harvest revives a Nashville tradition begun in 1904 with the first Harvest Festival, and continued as an annual affair until interruped in 1941 by World War II. The festivals were later resumed, but again discontinued in the 1960’s. In October 1977 the RRDC made the first at­ tempt to reinstate Nashville's annual Harvest Festival in an effort to raise funds for development of a community recreational park, to be located on the banks of the Thornapple River near the downtown business district. This year, as last, the Harvest Festival coincides with the annual Maple Valley High School homecoming celebration. A combined Harvest Festival­ Homecoming parade will step off at 1:30 p.m. Satur­ day, Sept. 29, and wind from Putnam Park to the Fuller Street football field. Again this year, as last, Maple Valley will host Carson City for the traditional homecoming football game,, set for 3:00 p.m. Crowning of the MVHS Homecoming Queen will be conducted at half-time ceremonies, during the Saturday game. Nashville’s 1979 festival will also feature a Harvest Queen, selected by penny votes from a field of mer­ chant-sponsored candidates. Eligibility rules only that candidate^ (1) be at least 18 years of age, (2) not be enrolled in high school (to avoid conflict with the Homecoming Queen race), and (3) have a Nashville address. Potential sponsors were contacted by contest chairman Ray Hinckley last week, in order to meet the Sept. 5th nomination deadline. Winner of the Harvest Queen race will be announced at a Friday evening Harvest Talent show, set for 7 p.m. Sept. 28 at Sandyland Park. She will be crowned by Thelma Christopher, the 1978 Har­ vest Queen, and ride in Saturday’s parade with all other queen contestants. s The talent show, open to all ages, will be chaired by Brenda and Dave Hawkins. Entries in a variety of categories will be accepted for registration until Sept. 23, and cash prizes will be awarded to winners of each entertainment division. In case of inclement weather, the talent event will be staged at the Kellogg school. Arrangements are also well underway for a 1979 Harvest Run, a 10,000 meter race chaired by Tom Oleson. Registration, start and finish will be at Putnam Park on M-66. Entrants will trace a circuitous 6.2 mile route of country roads. The first 200 runners to register, begin­ ning at 7 a.m. for the 8 a.m. Saturday race, will receive free Harvest Run t-shirts. The competition is open to all ages, with trophies and ribbons to be awarded winners in various age groups. In a slight departure from the traditional Harvest Ball, Saturday evening will see a “Harvest of Hits” staged at Conf. pg. 14 — �Th. Mopl.

The affair is again being sponsored by the Riverside Recreational Development Corp., in an effort to raise funds for development of a community recreational park on the banks of the Thor­ napple River, near the downtown business district, and will again be coordinated with Maple Valley High School's an­ nual Homecoming celebration. All sorts of events are on the agenda < details elsewhere in this issue) and a few are still in the "tentative" category. Highlights will be a 10,000 meter Harvest Run, a Harvest parade, Homecoming football game with Carson City. Harvest Talent show, selection of a Harvest and also a Homecoming Queen, a “Harvest of Hits" dance, a Harvest produce contest, canoe race, flea market, arts and crafts exhibits, book sale, pig roast and turkey supper Nashville's 1904 Harvest Festival drew crowds estimated at 3.000 each of the two days it was staged. A turnout that sue in 187* would surely please the RRDC committee Still “up in the air" is a festival event which was the traditional highlight of all early Harvest Festivals-the hot­ air balloon ascension. A balloonist has been contacted and the RRDC committee is presently contemplating how to raise enough funds to cover his fee. Since he offered to take •long two passengers, the thought naturally arose that selling chances to adventurous spectators might solve the problem However, at this writing, nothing definite has transpired The Nashville ambulance crew had a hectic schedule last week, answering one call on Sunday, one on Tuesday (a second was taken by Vermontville ambulance), and one, Wednesday. The Sunday call was to the Richard Byrd residence on Thomapple Lake Road when his father fell from a tree about 8:30 p.m. He was transported to Pennock By Susan Hinckley Hospital for treatment of minor injuries. Tuesday afternoon, about 4:45 p.m., the Nashville am­ bulance was called to State Road, east of M-66, when a motorcycle left the roadway. The driver, a Lansing man, was transported to St Lawrence hospital suffering back pain. Wednesday, about 3:20 p.m. the Nashville ambulance crew responded to a call of a collision between an auto and cycle on Wellman Road at the intersection of State Road. The driver of the car was uninjured but the motorcyclist sustained lacerations, a possible broken arm and leg in­ juries, and was transported to Pennock Hospital 'for treatment. The Nashville Fire Dept, was summoned to a minor car fire near the Adrien Pufpaff residence on Casgrove Street about 10:00 p.m. last Tuesday night. The incident proved to be minor. September has been designated “Stewardship Month” for the Sunday School department will study the Biblical principles of Christian stewardship and how they apply to Christian living. Saturday, September 15, will see many local youngsters on bikes, circling the track at Fuller Street school. They will be pedaling for charity, to raise funds for St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital in Memphis. Each child is currently seeking sponsors who will pledge a certain sum for each lap completed by the bicycling youngster in Saturday’s event. Proceeds of the Bike-A-Thon will aid the hospital, dedicated to combating catastrophic childhood diseases. Founded in 1962 by entertainer Danny Thomas, St. Jude’s is non­ sectarian, non-discriminatory and completely free of charge to all patients. Dennis Smith of Nashville is chairing the event, aided by his wife Vicki. They may be contacted for more information by youngsters wishing to enter the race, or by sponsors wishing to pledge support of the fund-raiser. T-shirts and backpacks will reward youngsters reaching certain goals in the contest, but their best reward will be knowing they have helped a very worthy cause. Adults, please support these children in their effort. Congratulations to Mr. and Mrs. Russell (Pam) Gardner of Nashville on the birth of a daughter Monday, August 27. The new arrival, named Jennifer Lynn, weighed in at 7 lbs. 11% ozs She is welcomed home by a two-year-old sister, Angela, and is blessed with a multitude of grandparents, including two sets of paternal great-great grandparents. They are Bill and Clara Face of Nashville and Grover and Grace Welker of Delton. The baby’s paternal grandparents are Duane and Janet Gardner of Nashville, and her great­ grandparents on her daddy’s side of the family include Kenneth and Theda Gardner, and Loyn and Jean Welker, all of Nashville. Jennifer’s maternal grandmother is Mrs. June Shellenbarger of Lake Odessa. Sunday, September 9, has been designated “Three Score and Ten” day at the Nashville United Methodist Church. Senior citizens, 70 and over, will be honored at morning worship service and also at a 12:15 p.m. dinner in the church Community House. Ed and Edna Smith have charge of the program for the event. Larry Corkwell of Nashville got an unexpected ride in Vermontville’s ambulance last Tuesday evening, due to a run-in with a bee. Larry had just donated blood at the Red Cross clinic at the United Methodist Community House, walked the short distance to his home, and began mowing the lawn. (He probably should have rested a while longer). Anyway, he soon roused a bee who decided to take up residence in Larry’s newly-sprouted beard. After receiving three facial stings, Larry finally dislodged the bee from his beard but not without suffering an additional bit to his hand. Although Larry has never had an adverse reaction to insect stings, though his mother is allergic to them, he im­ mediately developed extensive hives and began to go into shock. His neighbor, fireman Larry Decker, summoned the Vermontville ambulance (Nashville’s was still out on an earlier run), and Larry was whisked to Pennock Hospital for emergency treatment. He recovered rapidly, but must now carry an antidote with him at all times in case of another encounter with a bee. Dorothy Edmonds of Nashville was in Petoskey last week and, at this writing, expected to undergo surgery for cataracts at Burns Clinic there Friday. Friends of the Library members spent several days last week scraping old wallpaper from the so-called “maid’s room” on the second floor of Putnam Public Library. This week, papering was scheduled to begin on the ceiling and sidewalls. Jerry Johnson, of Johnson’s Furniture, has of­ fered to help with the ceiling job. The sidewalls will be done by several volunteers from the organization. The room is being readied for use as a display area for the library’s rare books collection. Mrs. Gladys Crooks of Maple Grove has been a recent house guest of Mrs. Esther Buckley of Nashville. The former Nashville Jaycees, a recently disbanded organization, last week made a generous donation to the Nashville Senior Citizen’s Nutrition Site. Receipt of the check was announced by Forrest Babcock, president of the local senior citizen’s COA organization, and Mike Slocum, president of the Jaycees. Mike also reports that his group has recently donated a quantity of children’s coloring books to Putnam Public Library, as part of closing out the dub’s asses ts. Mrs. Elizabeth Curtis of Nashville entertained her granddaughter and daughter-in-law, Kathy and Mrs. Virginia Curtis, in honor of the latter’s birthday last Saturday. A Thursday visitor at the home of Mrs. Caroline Jones of Nashville was Mrs. Thelma Seaver of Battle Creek. Mr. and Mrs. Lawrence Friddle of rural Nashville have as a house guest her mother, Mrs. Maude McNutt of Sturgis. Two circles of the Nashville United Methodist Church will meet on Monday, Sept. 10th. At 1:00 p.m. the Edith Parks Circle will meet with Mrs. Adah Steele for a dessert lun­ cheon. At 7:30 p.m., the Rebeccas Circle will meet at the home of Mrs. Edna Smith. A performance by South Haven gospel singer, Rev. Mike Stambaugh, will be presented at 7 p.m. services, Sunday, Sept. 16 at the Nashville Baptist Church. An interesting letter received last week from Kenneth A. Meade, a Nashville native now of Franklin, included a clipping of a recent Detroit News story by staff writer John E. Peterson, regarding the old Burma Shave road signs of the past. How many of us remember reading and enjoying these little tidbits of wisdom and humor? In his article, Peterson pointed out that a reader had suggested resurrection of the old signs to slow traffic down to the 65 mph limit. “The Burma Shave signs were always a bright • spot on Sunday drives in the country in the days of my youth,” Peterson quoted the lady’s nostalgic recollection “They were catchy little roadside rhymes on a series of NOTICE OF PUBLIC HEARING In accordance with Act 183 of the Public Acts of 1943, as amended, and Article VIII-R of the Eaton County Rural Zoning Ordinance, NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN that a public hearing will be held by the Eaton County Planning Commission on...SEPTEMBER 12, 1979, at 8:00 p.m. in the Eaton County Courthouse, 1045 Independence Boulevard, Charlotte, Michigan.

They were largely dismantled in 1964 when the company was sold to new owners. But, Peterson happily noted, a few signs “apparently escaped the wrecking crew’s eye” and still “survive on out-of-the-way backroads.” Incidentally, Kenneth Meade also wrote he enjoyed the recent “Memories” on the Thomapple River, and recalled one of the Grahams had built a steam boat that took people for rides on the millpond above the dam, during one of the Harvest Festivals. Quite coincidentally, as we were recently searching through an extensive collection of local history diaries kept by the late Frank Russell, longtime Nashville village engineer, we found mention of the vessel. (The diaries are now the property of Vern Staup, who has kindly loaned them to us for research which will greatly aid future “Memories” features.) From Russell’s diary, dated June 23, 1911: “Martin Graham started his steamer today.” On June 30th, Russell helped “fix exhaust on Martin Graham’s boat.” On July 2nd, a day Frank described as “terrible hot”, he received his reward. “Was out with Mart Graham in the steamer.” (Readers can look forward to future excerpts from the Russell diaries, which mainly deal with life in and around the river and Putnam Park area, municipal operations, new construction, local deaths and funerals, and detailed weather accounting of all seasons). Also on the subject of “Memories”, a letter from Wayne Fuller, a Nashville native now of Toledo, added an in­ teresting highlight to the recent feature on early Nashville autos. Wayne’s first ride was in a Buick roadster owned by Clyde Gould. “It had carbide lights and you sounded the horn by squeezing a rubber bulb,’’ writes Fuller. He also remembers a trip to Hastings, via Michigan Central, to visit his Dad’s cousin who had a “brass-fron Ford” in which they rode to Freeport. “He stored gasoline in a 50-gallon steel drum in the shed where the car was kept,” recalls Fuller. “Gasoline was drained from the drum through a chamois skin into a teakettle and poured in the tank of the car. ’ ’ Many local families planned gatherings over this Labor Day weekend. Visitois expected at the home of Mrs. Theresa Hess of Nashville were her son and family, William and Barbara Hess and children, of Alabama, and her granddaughter and children, Mrs. Judy Green Rodocker and daughters of Kalamazoo. Mrs. Veda Guy of Nashville, accompanied by Mrs. Mildred Hill of Charlton Park Road, drove to Bristol, In­ diana last week to call on Veda’s son and family, Mr. and Mrs. Kendall Guy and children. Mrs. Edna Gibbons and Mrs. Veda Guy were Tuesday callers on Veda’s sister, Mrs. Evangie Miller of Lacey Road. Mrs. Esta Day of Nashville enjoyed a Thursday visit from her daughter, Mrs. Phyllis Hoffman of Battle Creek, who was accompanied by her daughter, Mrs. Sherry Michalis, and children of Jacksonville, Florida. Agnes Hughes, owner of the Steakhouse Restaurant, was surprised on her birthday last Monday when her employees, their families, and some friends dropped by the Hughes’ Thornapple Lake cottage with a potluck supper. Faye Salyers had arranged the whole event, and Irene Goodnoe prepared a special cake for the occasion. % Mrs. John (Marge) Hartwell, who sustained rather serious leg injuries in a mishap at her home last week is, at this report, still in traction at Pennock Hospital awaiting sufficient healing to allow casting. It is expected she will be confined to a cast for some time, having suffered a fractured femur which punctured the skin. Best wishes to Marge for a speedy recovery. The Nashville Chamber of Commerce will resume fall meetings with a 7:00 p.m. dinner next Wednesday evening, Sept. 12th, at the Village Inn Cafe. ' August has been a busy month for the Clarence Reids of Nashville, and last week was especially hectic. They, and son Vernon and family of Charlotte, spent two days in Cadillac helping son Darwin and family move. Returning to Nashville, the Reids had Clarence’s cousin and wife, Myrtle and Walter Hunter of Ft. Lauderdale, Florida, for Wed­ nesday through Saturday house guests. Friday, they all visited relatives in x Battle Creek, including Clarence’s nephew, Raymond Cuykendall; his brother, Charles Reid and family; and his sister and her husband, Ethel and Frank Shaver. Saturday night, Clarence and Margaret were guests of daughter and family, Anetta and Dave Tredinnick of Hastings, in honor of Clarence’s birthday. A group of Nashville Lions and friends, traveling by chartered bus from Vermontville, enjoyed a Friday evening excursion to Tiger Stadium recently to watch the Detroit The Maple Valley News, Nashville. Wednesday, Septembers, 1979 — Page 3 Tigers beat the Seattle Mariners in an exciting 5-2 ball game. Some 26,000 fans were present for the event, 42 of them arriving on the locally chartered bus. Enroute home, the local folks enjoyed a stop at an Elias Bros, restaurant for a late supper (or early breakfast), and arrived back in Vermontville about 3 a.m. Mike Lingoes of Nashville became a TV star recently when Channel 8 did an unusual promo for the “Newlyweds” game show. Mike and other shoppers caught at the Grand Rapids mall were asked an impertinent “mother-in-law” question to match a film clip of the game show. Many of the Michigan answers were as hilarious as those offered by contestants on the syndicated production, aired daily on Channel 8. The ad, featuring Mike, has also been broadcast recently. Bookworms and collectors: remember the upcoming book sale to be sponsored by the Friends of the Library during Nashville’s Harvest Festival celebration, set for the last weekend in September. Members of the FOL will be con­ ducting the sale on the grounds of Putnam Library, Sept. 28 and 29. Anyone having volumes they wish to dispose of, is encouraged to donate them to this worthy project. Also offered for sale will be excess and duplicate books from the library collection. Proceeds of the sale will help to purchase a film projector for in-library use. For further information, contact the library or any member of the Friends group. Mrs. Joy Peake is general chairperson of the event. Mrs. Edith Jones has taken up residence at the Maple Valley Arms apartment complex. Moving into the Jones home last week were Roy and Elaine Johnson, who came to our village from Montana. He is the new band director and instrumental music instructor at Maple Valley School. The Nashville United Methodist Women will meet at the home of Mrs. Grace Marisch of North Mason Road on Wednesday, Sept. 5th. Election of officers for 1980 is scheduled for the 7:30 p.m. event. The Cloverleaf Class of the Nashville United Methodist Church will meet for a 1:30 p.m. dessert luncheon at the church Community House on Thursday, Sept. 6th. The Golden Agers of the Nashville United Methodist Church will meet for a noon potluck dinner at the Com­ munity Houst, Thursday, Sept. 13. This is a change frotn the regularly scheduled Friday meeting. Forest and Betty Rogers of Barryville recently en­ tertained members of the Dull family for a reunion. Honored guests here from Florida for the occasion were Mrs. Gladys Dull of Holly Hills and Mr. and Mrs. Milo Hill of Daytona Beach, all former area residents. In addition to “Mike” and Marjorie Hill, other children of Mrs. Gladys Dull attending the event were Mr. and Mrs. Johnny Dull of Nashville; Mr. and Mrs. Robert Phillips of Fine Lake; Mr. and Mrs. Ted Catlin of Clarksville, and Mr. and Mrs. Raymond Dull of Hastings. Also present were the children and grandchildren of each family, making a grand total of 45 at the potluck picnic dinner for an enjoyable Sunday gathering, August 19. Mrs. Hilda Baas of Nashville, a retired teaicher from the From our readers... We would like to address the voters of Nashville. Tuesday, Sept. 11, you will vote on an important bond issue. You have a choice between having $3,345,187 paid us in grant funds if you vote yes, or having to pay the 3 % million dollars' out of your own pocket, if you vote no. If you think a “no” vote will end the sewer issue, you are mistaken. Other towns have been taken to court and ordered to up-date their systems - and they had to pay the total cost. A yes vote means for every $10.00 you pay, grant funds will pay $90.00. Yes, it will be expensive, even with outside help. Had earlier plans not been defeated, the cost would not have been so high. We urge you to vote “yes” on Tuesday, Sept. 11.

Paid For By The REALLY Concerned Citizens of Nashville ■■ A31OA S3AJ1O 3A31OA �The Maple Valley News, Nashville, Wednesday, September 5, 1979 — Page 6 Memories of the past By Susan Hinckley It was several years after President Grover Cleveland signed an 1894 bill declaring Labor Day a national holiday before the law had much impact on Nashville. Locally, the first Monday in September tended to mean more to the local farming community than to any organized labor movement. That day had simply been observed as an annual festive outing. “The far- Day laborers or good neighbors helping raise a local barn? The photo was given to Floyd White by the late Martin Graham, who is in the picture,. (White first thought it was the old schoolhousellnder construction but the terrain, haystack at left, and barn in background indicate it is a rural area). Nashville farmers initially observed Labor Day with an annual outing they called a "farmers' picnic", pre-dating local industrial observance of the holiday. (Photo loaned, courtesy Floyd White) mers* picnic at Thornapple Lake last Monday was a huge success,” reported the Nashville News the first week of September, 1903. “In the raffle of a horse, Mr. Abbott was the winner and in the ladies’ raffle Mrs. George McWha won the dress suit. In the voting contest for the best housekeeper present, Mrs. Peter S. Maurer was winner by a large majority.” ,.

Youngsters would soon be back in school and “things would return to normal,” she added. Thornapple Lake, often a summertime holiday haven for Nashville residents, also became the center of Labor Day observances. The lake shore was a popular spot for picnics, dances and holiday ball games. Day “The Labor celebration at Thornapple Lake Monday was a big success,” noted the News in 1908, “there being a large attendance and everything passed off in good shape.” “The sports were all carried out as advertised,” elaborated the reporter, “The Vermontville band furnished splendid music all day, and the dance was liberally patronized until midnight. The ball game was between a picked-up team from Nashville and one from Quimby, and was won by the Nashville boys by a score of 12 to 10.” As official observance of the September holiday became more widespread, a day’s furlough from work became an increasingly accepted practice. “Monday being Labor Day and a legal holiday, the rural (mail) carriers were relieved from their duties for the day,” observed the News in 1910, “so the carriers of Barry and Eaton Counties met at Thornapple Lake for a day of rest and recreation.” - However, there is some doubt whether Labor Day was recognized by private industry in the village at the same time. Several recentlyinterviewed senior citizens who had relatives working at the Lentz Table Company, Nashville’s largest employer in the early 1900’s, could not recall such an occasion. One thing is certain: if workers did observe the holdiay, it was undoubtedly without pay. Industrial “paid holidays”*, as we know them today, were many years down the line. But the village had leanred firsthand about labor strikes one week after Labor Day 1906, when discontent arose among workmen on a municipal project to lower a water main across the Thornapple River (to prevent its freezing during severe winter weather). “Nashville went through the throes of its first labor strike this week,” revealed the News. Street Com­ missioner Bill Woodard was working on the water main lowering job on the river Monday when some of his laborers, who were drawing $2.50 per day, announced they would quit work unless they were promised $3.50 per day.” Bill promptly paid them off and pulled his regular workers off the crosswalk job, to finish the river project,” added the writer. “No more has been heard from the strikers.” The following May, Woodard again experienced labor difficulties, when laying water mains in the east end of town, but it “didn’t worry Bill much, as he is accustomed to trouble,’’ observed the News. Trench diggers paid at the rate of a dollar-and-a-half per day wanted twenty-five cents more. “About , half the men digging the trench went on strike, asking more pay,” advised the News. “Bill didn’t have any authority to pay them more and, in consequence, the strikers stayed out and the ditch is being dug without them.” But neither local labor strife, nor Nashville’s observance of a September holiday to honor the working class, made much news in the village over succeeding years. However, two early September releases a couple decades later added special significance to Labor Day. Near the September holiday, in 1931, the News reported with anote of op- WESTERN PINES TACK SHOP 192 N.

But two years later, Labor Day 1933 brought an encouraging note to Nashville News readers: “Postmaster General James Farley announced on Labor Day that on September 30 the payless furloughs of postal employees will end, because he believes the nation is on the road back to prosperity.” A memorable Labor Day, indeed.

Watson plans to split Sargent wide to provide a passing threat which he thought would have been used two years ago but had to scrap when a talented front line opened up holes like Moses did the Red Sea. Because this year’s of­ fensive line will average under 170 pounds, Watson sees a necessity to use the group for pass blocking rather than trying to manuever bigger defensive people out of the way of Maple Valley runners. That strategy could make ’79 Lion football very entertaining. Watson fully expects defending champion Saranac to bully the Tri Central Athletic Association again this season with Portland and Lakeview offering some challenge.

I feel that the program is going to bloom in the next year or two.” \ She added, “We are par­ ticularly strong in field hockey,” noting that several members of last year’s team competed in the U.S. Field Hockey Association nationals, “this year, for the first time, the team will be competing under the' auspices of the s ate organization of the Association for Intercollegiate Athletics for Women. “Our volleyball team is quite strong, the softball team has been in the regionals the last two or three years, and the basketball team is getting stronger,” she said.

Drivers going over 60 will now get tickets; drivers going over 55 may get verbal warnings. Points are not charged unless freeway speeds are over 70. CJDORT CONTINGENCIES - As Wayne County nears bankruptcy, several state agencies are developing plans to keep essential services going. The Supreme Court has directed local judges to develop cost estimates of money needed to keep courts open. SCHOOL CONTRACTS - With the start of school close at hand, some 60 percent of districts had signed teacher contracts as of the end of August; this is slightly down from last year. Strikes have been announced for less than a dozen school districts. DISTRICT PLAN - A new redistricting plan for Michigan has been proposed and will be introduced in the legislature later this month. It would make legislative districts based more oh population and geography than on partisanship, and would give 2 state senators per congressional district and 3 state representatives per senate district, about the same number as now.' CHECK TAX - The House Taxation Committee will hold hearings next week - Detroit, September 12 Lansing, September 13 - on HB 4712, which would put a transaction tax of $.10 on checks and similar negotiable instruments. The recipient of the check would pay the tax. It is estimated this would produce $150 million to help pay for the home heating assistance program. TEMPERATURE PROGRAM - Although Michigan is not administering the federal Emergency Building Tem­ perature Restriction Program, you can get information on it by calling 800-292-2704, toll-free. This will help answer questions created by the program’s vague rules, which basically require that thermostats in public buildings be set at 78 degrees F. in summer, 65 degrees F. in winter. CARPOOL LOTS - The 93 carpool parking lots developed throughout Michigan by our Department of Transportation are increasingly popular, with 38 new lots in the works. The present lots are located along highways and freeway in­ terchanges, with a total capacity of 2,241 vehicles. WOMAN’S DAY - The Interim Superintendent of Public Instruction has urged schools to pay more attention to the educational needs of school-age females and women who want to go back to school after several years as homemakers. Women are a growing part of the work force. DUCK SEASON - Duck hunters will have earlier shooting hours and a liberalized point system during the 1979 season which starts September 29 in the Upper Peninsula and October 4 in the Lower Peninsula. The DNR says hunting should be better because the duck population is up. during the final days of the ’79 edition of the Michigan State Fair, Detroit In ad­ dition to produce, blue ribbon entertainment will be provided by Billy “Crash” Craddock and the Dream Lovers, September 1; Eddie Rabbi tt, September 2; and Jody Miller, September 3.

Public Hearing: conf, from front fate for local taxpayers. “The environmentalists are after us,” Wasek told the audience, “If we are polluting a river, a lake, or a bay, they’ll come down on us.” Nashville, has been offered EPA and DNR grants totaling $3.5 million toward the estimated $4.8 million project. The plans call for construction ofa newlagoonand-irrigation treatment facility on Brumm Road and extension of sewer lines to add 183 new users to the system. Nashville’s present collection lines serve ap­ proximately 480 homes. Answering audience questions at the meeting were Brian Myers and Steve Eldredge, representatives of the DNR. Also present at the meeting was Patsy Clark, representing Williams and Works of Grand Rapids, who would be engineers on the Nashville project. Thur­ sday’s public hearing was conducted by village trustee Lonny Kienutske, who heads the council-appointed Public Information Committee. He explained the recent reduction of the proposed “up front” charge, from the initial $1,200 to the present $600, was made possible by funds received in a $168,000 EPA grant, an additional amount offered to Nashville because the village is planning to use the new lagoon type facility, con­ sidered superior to other treatment methods. Much public input was received from the audience, and all questions seemed to be adequately answered by Kienutske and other officials and representatives present at the meetings. Nashville voters will go to the polls next Tuesday, Sept. 11, to decide if the village shall accept the $3.5 million grants and proceed with the estimated $4.8 million sewer expansion and im­ provements.

Locally, he is currently helping Tom Oleson, chairperson of Nashville’s 10,000 meter Harvest Run, organize the Sept. 29th event. Roscoe said he would en­ courage area business and professional people to get in­ volved in the race, to create excitement and interest in the upcoming competition. He reports he recently received a call from Grand Rapids indicating that a group of runners from that area are coming to Nashville’s Harvest Festival to participate in the run. Jassin M.

The Harvest Queen and all candidates will ride in Satur­ day’s parade, proceeding the afternoon football game with Carson City.

The request is the result of a national study that reveals right turns on red reduce the total number of accidents and save motorists time and fuel. The study, conducted for the American Association of State Highway and Tran­ sportation Officials, showed that the total number of rear­ end collisions, sideswipes, right-angle collisions and vehicles running off the road, decreased an average 12.6 to 11.9 percent per year, per intersection, after allowing right turns on red. It also showed that the average motorist saves six seconds driving time for every turn on red which could average out to a fuel savings of about one-fifth of a gallon in an hour’s time. “That may not sound like much,” says Donald Orne, engineer of MDOT’s Traffic and Safety Division and chairman of the national task force that did the study, “but just in Michigan, that averages out to a fuel savings of 10 and one-half million gallons each year.” Michigan adopted turns on red in 1976.

HASTINGS...PHONE 945-3256 HASTINGS — IONIA — CHARLOTTE Rise in farm receipts slows Cash receipts from farm marketing in Michigan rose 3 percent in the first 6 months of 1979 over the same period a year earlier. Michigan Agricultural Reporting Service placed mid-year returns at $940 million compared with $910 million a year earlier. Crop farmers fared poorly as their intake fell 17 percent; while livestock producers enjoyed a 20 percent increase. The 3 percent overall gain this year compares with 16 percent increase last year and an average over the past 5 years of 11 percent. Higher cattle prices and a steadily growing dairy in- dustry pushed livestock cash receipts up 20 percent in the first 6 months of this year. Livestock and their products brought in $599 million, accounting for 64 percent of farm receipts. Receipts from crops totaled $341 million, a drop of 17 percent. Crops will likely gain this fall as harvest continues and heavy supplies of wheat, corn and soybeans cross the market.

Cash prizes and ribbons will be awarded in seven categories in the 1979 contest, under the direction of Lorna Wilson. Entries will be accepted between the hours of 4 and 6 p.m. Friday, Sept. 28, for display in a Main Street tent.

Entrants are also being sought for the Harvest Talent Show, set for 7 p. m. Friday, Sept. 28, at Sandyland Park. The Riverside Recreational Development Corp, last week set a prize of $15 for each winner in four entertainment categories: vocal, instrumental, dance, and miscellaneous. Ribbons will be awarded 2nd and 3rd place winners in each group. Dave and Brinda Hawkins of Nashville are chairing the event to be emceed by Kenneth F. Meade, Sr., a Nash­ ville native now of Jackson. Contestants may register with the Hawkins through Sept. 23rd. No entry fee will be charged, and admission to the park is free.

Canisters are currently out on eight candidates. The name of the winner will not be disclosed until mid-way through the talent show Friday night.

Response to the Harvest Queen contest was overwhelming and the nomination deadline has been extended by the RRDC to allow local organizations and churches to also sponsor candidates if they desire.

Anyone wishing to sponsor a candidate must have her name submitted to Ray Hinckley no later than noon Wednesday, Sept. 12. They must also furnish a photo suitable for publication, a short biographical sketch, and a $5 entry fee. The candidates must be 18 or older, not a high school student, and have a Nash­ ville address. Canisters may not be placed at random, as was allowed last year. Each merchant will have only their own candidate’s canister in his store. Organizations and churches may circulate their contestant’s canister (as may merchants) but is may hot be left in any store. All proceeds of the contest go toward development of a community recreational park on the banks of the Thornapple River, near the downtown business district. Last Year’s Queen race netted $1,262.16, the top money-maker of the 1978 festival.

Crossing the bridge in the traditional Labor Day walk were Jerry and Judy Terpening and children, Robin, Bryon, Renee, and Eric of Nashville. Accompanying them was Kerri Tobias, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Roger Tobias of Nashville. The Terpenings camped at Mackinac City from Friday through Tuesday. Other Nashville folks joining the 25,000 hikers for the 4.6 mile jaunt were Don and Jeanette Joseph of Carl’s Market, and their 7-year-old granddaughter, Jodi Marie Joseph. Also enjoying the Labor Day hike across the Mackinac Bridge were Dick and Marily Chaffee of Nashville, and Mr. and Mrs. Newman Shaw of Bivens Road. Nashville’s Main Street received a “sprucing up” last Thursday evening when members of the Nashville Business Owners Association gathered to paint an “eyesore” wall standing at the north boundary of the vacant NBOA-owned lot. The wall was the north portion of three hazardous structures razed by the organization in a 1977 project. Built so closely to the neighboring structure that it could not be torn down without endangering the adjacent building, the wall was left standing and badly in need of paint. (Oldtime Nashville residents will remember it as the north wall of the old Colin T. Munro grocery store). Last week, it received a new coat of avacado-colored paint, with work done by NBOA members Russ Furlong, Jerry Johnson, Jerry Brumm, Ben Mason, Dick Chaffee, Jeanette Joseph and Mary Hecker. A week ago the same crew, plus Max Kelley and Vernon Curtis, gathered to do some preparatory scrapping and patching of the wall. The NBOA also cleaned a truckload of weeds out of the vacant lot recently. Due to erroneous information supplied us last week, we reported that the Nashville Business Owners would be sponsoring a “pig roast” in Central Park during the up­ coming Harvest Festival. Dick Chaffee, a member of the NBOA and RRDC, informed us it will be an “ox” that is roasted, not a pig. At any rate it should be fun, good eating, and hopefully draw a crowd of hungry spectators. Our community is very fortunate to have such a dedicated organization as our newly-formed Friends of the Library. Members of this industrious group of volunteers last week completed papering the so-called “Maid’s Room” on the second floor of Putnam Public Library. Countless hours of preparation of the walls were necessary before the new wallpaper, a green colonial print on white background, could be applied. The ceiling was also covered with white. Until the recent renovation, the small east room could only be used for storage. Now it will house a display of volumes too valuable to be circulated. Restoring the room was only one of numerous energetic projects undertaken by the FOL since their 1978 formation. The Putnam Library board is very thankful for these dedicated volunteers who have added so much to the library in such a short span of time. In addition to improving the facilities, they were responsible for the very successful and record-setting Children’s Story Hour conducted at the library in July. Mrs. Eliza Emery of Nashville and Mrs. Irene Gaskill of rural Hastings were after-church Sunday callers on Mrs. Emery’s son, Wesley Emery, and family at Hastings. Thursday evening visitors of Mrs. Theresa Hess of Nash­ ville were her granddaughter, Kyle Rodocker, and Kyle’s fiance of Kalamazoo. Mrs. Jack (Virginia Hess) Green, a former village resident now of Melbourne, Florida, underwent surgery there last Wednesday and, at this writing, is still confined at a Melbourne hospital. Two representatives of the “Mighty-Mini Tractor Pullers” club of Olivet were in Nashville last Wednesday evening to discuss with the RRDC the possibility of staging a tractor pull, by stock and modified garden tractors, during Nashville’s Harvest Festival. Local entries would be welcome, and trophies and ribbons awarded the winners. The club prefers to pull on a paved surface. Nothing definite was determined by the RRDC until a suitable location and Nashville Heating Sales and Service Nashville Church of Nazarene celebrate 61st anniversary 205% S.

The event will be in conjunction with Maple Valley’s annual homecoming celebration, terminating at Fuller St. football field for a 3 p.m. game between MVHS and Carson City. An affirmative agreement to appear in Nashville’s parade was recently received from a favorite past entry: the Battle Creek-based Shriner’s “Mini-T Auto Patrol.” Assisting Lois with the parade are Suzy Corkwell and Irene Goodnoe, volunteers working with the RRDC committee. Mr. and Mrs. Harry Beard of Nashville recently welcomed home their daughter, Barbara Sitzman, and. family returning from a 3-year stay in Germany. Barbara’s husband, Chief Master Sgt.

At 1 p.m. entertainers from throughout Michigan will be on stage for a talent competition. All proceeds of the day will be split three ways. Nashville’s fire and ambulance departments (now separate entities) will each receive a third and the park will receive a third. This is an excellent chance for folks to support these life-saving community services and have a whole bunch of fun at the same time. Mrs. Avis Elliston enjoyed several family visitors last week. Friday, her sister, Mrs. Iva Syswerda of Lansing came to see* her. Saturday callers were her brother and his wife, Mr. and Mrs. Merlin Gage of Grass Creek. And Wednesday visitors were another sister and her husband, Ada and John Johnson of Gun Lake. Mrs. Leah (Walrath) Partridge, a Nashville native now of Flint, was in Nashville last Tuesday to call on Richard and Margaret Engle and family, and also visited this reporter.

Dewey Castelein, Jr. of Nashville, and also called on his sister, Mrs. Mary Henton of Hastings. His son, M. Dewey Castelein, Jr., has also been a recent hospital patient due to problems with emphysema, but is now feeling better and was able to return home in time for his father’s visit. The Nashville Chamber of Commerce begins their autumn session with a 7 p.m. meeting Wednesday, Sept. 12, at the Village Inn Cafe.

JACK’S STANDARD IN VERMONTVILLE Phone (517)726-0589 FOUR CONVENIENT LOCATIONS TO SERVE YOU HOME OFFICE - CHARLOTTE, MICHIGAN Nashville, Michigan - Eaton Rapids, Michigan - Olivet, Michigan �of the pas By Susan Hinckley Nashville’s first com­ mercial telephones arrived shortly before the 20th century, just in time to usher in an unprecedented era of American technological progress. But the village’s first in­ strument for transmitting voice by wire may have been a product of purely local ingenuity. In April 1878, just two years after Alexander Graham Bell developed the first telephone, E. L. Parrish of Nashville rigged a homemade phone between his home and the Michigan Central Railroad depot. The device, according to a Nashville News of that date, worked “very well.” However, it was another twenty years before the genuine article appeared on the local scene. “At last, after a great deal of false alarm, Nashville is to have a telephone ex­ change,” announced the News in April 1898. “The plant is to be installed in Ed Liebhauser’s drug store.” Michigan Telephone Company would begin erecting poles at once, the report said, and “service will commence as soon as instruments arrive.” Though far more advanced than Parrish’s early rig, Nashville’s new phone system did not offer ex- 207 MAIN STREET V “Phones have been installed during the last few weeks in the homes of Wm. Titmarsh, J. L. Wotring, Billy Smith, C. H. Oversmith, David Mc­ Clelland, Elmer Swift, John Lake, and Stephen Benedict.” By April 1902 the phone company had begun fitting up rooms over Mrs. 0. M. Beck’s millinery shop (adjacent to the drug store in what is now the north portion of the bank) to install another switchboard, to provide the village with continuous day and night service. Cables, each con­ taining 50 wires, were strung along Main Street to Operators worked night and day to handle calls through Nashville's "Central" eliminate the confusing until dial phones were installed in the village in 1938 by Michigan Bell.

An overabundance of phone service plagued some rural folks by 1905. “There is considerable strife in Maple Grove and Assyria Township between rival telephone gangs operating in the PHONE area,” disclosed the News. “The trouble is between Citizens Telephone Co. of Nashville and Citizens Co. of Bellevue. Some farmers are ending up with three dif­ ferent telephone services.” The multiple lines left far­ mers in a quandary, leading 60s to talk of a countywide consolidation* of the various systems.

Service was encompassed within a trinagle formed by Lentz Table Company on the east side of town, the Downing Bros. plant on the north, and J. B. Mar­ shall’s elevator near the railroad on South Main.' “A few homes within these boundaries probably will also have telephones,” predicted the News, “and quite a number of stores are expected to sign up.” A year later phone service was expanding at a fast clip, though it took some com­ petition to bring lines across rural areas. By April 1899 Citizen Telephone Company was speeding lines to Nashville. “Poles are going up rapidly for the Citizens Telephone line being strung from Hastings,” noted the News. “The line is coming to Nash­ ville by way of Thornapple Lake, Morgan, and along the road east of Price’s cor­ ners.” Citizens Telephone, headquartered in Hastings, continued to maintain the local plant in quarters above Liebhauser’s (now Simon’s) drug store. And service continued to expand, with rapidly-extended rural lines. “Many of our farmer friends now are connected with the village by wire,” observed the news in Sept. 1901.

State Police are cracking down on violators of Michigan's 55 mile an hour speed limit. Troopers are now issuing verbal warnings tothose exceeding 55 while issuing tickets to those over 60 miles an hour. HOLIDAY MARK - Michigan’s motorists logged over 682 million miles of travel last Labor Day weekend. That was a decrease of 1.9 from last year’s all time record of 695 million miles for a four-day Labor Day weekend. “GOOD TIME" OFF - Governor Milliken has approved rules which allow the Corrections Department to revoke “good time” (time off for good behavior) for prisoner assualts on guards. The action was in response to a court decision restoring “good time” to inmates assaulting guards at Marquette State Prison. HUNTING BREAKS - Duck hunters will have earlier shooting hours and a liberalized point system during the 1979 duck season which starts September 20 in the Upper Peninsula and October 4 in the Lower Peninsula. Shooting hours will start one-half hour before sunrise to sunset this year. The liberalized point system will allow hunters to take more ducks.

RED TURNS - The Michigan Department of Tran­ sportation is asking all cities, villages and counties to re­ examine the need for “No Turn on Red” signs placed at some intersections. The request is tbe result of a national study that reveals right turns on red reduce the total number of accidents and save motorists time and fuel. STATE FAIR GROUNDS Governor Milliken has recommended several improvements at the State fair grounds. In the first phase of fair grounds renovation, the Governor is proposing improved parking facilities, revising streets for better traffic flow, and construction of a new 125,000-square-foot exhibition building. FORMAL INAUGURATION - Michigan State University is planning a formal inauguration for its 16th University President, Dr. Cecil Mackey. The formal installation will be the first in the University’s history. The inauguration is planned for November 30. Dr. Mackey has served as MSU President since early August.

The article, headlined “Potential for Growth in Maple Industry Almost Unlimited”, discussed the methods and markets for maple' syrup producers in the state. Pennock’s operation is featured because of its large production using traditional methods. . ’ “His sugarhouse in the woods has been in regular use for about 90 years,” the article says. “His father made syrup there, and his grandfather before him.” Pennock relies soley on the bucket system to harvest sap from some 700 taps on his own land, it continues. He also buys sap from nearly that many more, paying for it with a share of the finished syrup. “Though he was one of the local pioneers in the use of tubing and vacuum pumps, he reverted to buckets,” the Extension Service reported. Pennock said in the article he was happy with using pails and it gives him a chance to give jobs to the high school boys that gather sap. SUMMER CLEARANCE! Prices reduced for quick sale on...

Mark Twain once said cauliflower was nothing more than cabbage with a college education. If thisJs true, our state’s cauliflower growers “graduated” thi-ee million pounds in 1978 to maintain a sixth place rank in the United States, ac­ cording to the Michigan Department of Agriculture. Although the 1978 production was only half of the previous year, predic­ tions are good for this years, harvest. Cauliflower acreage is fairly stable each year and located primarily in Allegan, Macomb, St. Clair, Oceana and Bay counties. As with most crops, production depends on weather and harvest conditions. Cauliflower’s creamy white color is achieved by blanching heads in the field. This is a laborious job of hand-tying larger outside leaves up over developing heads with twine or rubber bands. (Exposure to sunlight discolors the curd.) Heads are cut by hand when about six inches in diameter and carried to sheds for packing, harvest usually begins about August 1 and continues to Novem­ ber.

Watson was blessed with a nearly intact offensive line last year, but the team struggled to a 4 - 5 season “We lost some pretty good ballpayers to graduation last year," Watson said. He cited all-state offensive and defensive tackle Andy Joostberns and all-area linebacker and fullback Ken Hansbarger as examples “Some of those spots are awfully hard to fill,” Watson continued, but observed his team is spirited and “There is competiton for the starting lineup.” Maple Valley lost 14 seniors and has 11 returning lettermen. They are Vern Sargent, Jeff Mead, Allan Gardner, Dennis Yost, Ray Hole, Dan Watson, Ken Wood, Doug Cook, Don Beck, Don Fox, Brian Hamilton, and Joe Brooke. Watson noted his team was 4 - 3 in conference play last year. “All our wins were in the conference and we lost one real close game, 6 - 0, at Central Montcalm,” he said. Maple Valley finished fourth behind Saranac, Central Montcalm and Lakeview in the Tri-Central Athletic Association last year. Watson is cautiously op­ timistic about Maple Valley chances this season.“I’m really pleased with the progress we’ve made,” Watson said, but he added, “We’ve got a long way to g°” Watson has a small team. “We’re a small class C school,h Watson said. He said the MV football team is not composed of heavyweights. “We expect to be outweighed man for man in most games,” he said.

Booher has three returning lettermen, Dan Me Clintock, Jeff Weiler and Roger Drake. “More than half our team are sophmores,” Booher said. He thinks that means well for the future, but this year, “Could be a struggle to stay out of last place.” Booher said Central Montcalm HS is, “Probably the best team in the Tri­ Central League — followed by Lakeview and Portland.” Booher said Central Mont­ calm will be in contention for the state Class C cham­ pionship. But Booher believes his team will be fighting for improvement over last season’s 2 - 12 record. “We only have nine guys out for golf but Drake and Weiler are excellent players and should do the job for us,” he said.

Reese said Portland, Lakeview and Montabella will be strong schools in the league this season, “And with a little luck, a couple of upsets, we’ll be right there in the middle of it.” “Portland will start two girls over six feet tall and Lakeview will be returning the league’s most valuable player,” Reese observed. He said he’ll be relying on floor leader Julie Barlow and first team all-Lansing area class C player Tuesday Aspinal to spark the Lions. “Aspinall is a fine player she’s been in our program since eighth grade and I’ve coached her all but one of those years,” Reese com­ mented Reese said he has some good talent up from last season’s junior varsity squad,, including Laurie Decker, who, “Should be a big help to us, along with several other players.” Ready to cheer on the football team in brand new uniforms are members of the Maple Valley Varsity cheerleading- squad: Angie Webb, Sandy Hulbert, Donna Steinbrecher, Sherry Kraai, Dawn Wells, Darla Sherman and Tammie Frank.

He said his team hopes to play as well or better than last year. “But we lost our numbers one and three singles players, and we’re weak on doubles due to inexperience,” he noted.

Friends, former students and co-workers of Mrs. Berneth McKercher, a former Nashville resident now of Lansing, are being asked to help her children with a special surprise in honor of Berneth’s retirement from Michigan State University faculty. Judie and Pat are compiling a scrapbook of memories for thier mother and hope her Nashville friends and acquaintances will help with letters or notes to be in­ cluded in the scrapbook. (Perhaps sort of a “This is’Your Life” presentation). Mrs. McKercher taught in Nashville elementary schools for several years, back in the 50’s and 60’s, and since she has been teaching for Michigan State has authored two books, she was a traveling instructor, sent throughout the state by MSU, to teach other teachers a methods course in reading and language arts. Nashville folks will also remember her late husband, Leonard “Mac” McKerclfer who was a local druggist several years ago. If you have any remembrances to share, send them to Mrs. Judie Novak, 201 Elm St., Flushing, Mi. 48433 or to Patrick McKercher, 1051 Roosevelt, Plymouth, Mr. 48176. Remember, this is a surprise for Berneth (since we un­ derstand she does not receive the Maple Valley News, we hope to keep the secret a while longer).

Instead, she worked three hours each morning, had a 2­ hour noon break, and returned for a long afternoon stint. Operators wereTcept busy. Long distance toll tickets had to be written on every call made outside the Nash­ ville \ area. Even Ver­ montville was a toll call. The switchboard operator also connected all local calls, except those made between parties on the same line. All other calls had to be plugged in by the operator, signaled by the customer cranking a handle on the right side of his phone. Large batteries powered the telephone.(they had to be periodically replaced by the trouble­ shooter), and the “works” were encased in a cum­ bersome wooden, wall-hung box. Parry lines were often busy, taxed with an overload of customers,, but oc­ casionally that in­ convenience served a useful purpose. In case of a rural fire, the operator could signal all neighbors on a party line by pulling a single lever on the switchboard. “We could hear receivers, one after another, come down,” recalls Leah.

The extreme weather changes are not helping. So do be careful and stay away from friends and neighbors who seem to be down for the count for a few days. Hearing talk from snow bird people on their preperations to head south, yeah, I guess it’s getting to be that time again. Comes all too soon. Where has the summer gone? Some of the 7 & 8th grade football team from our area attended the Michigan State Football gave Saturday at East Lansing, chaperoned by Merle Martin and Stanley Trumble.

Michigan motorists have started driving slower and State Police Troopers have noted a definite im­ provement in voluntary speed compliance according to Department Director, Col. Gerald L. Hough. State Police officials last week announced a steppedup enforcement policy regarding the 55 mile-perhour speed limit, advising motorists that citations would be issued for any speed exceeding 60 milesper-hour. Speeds above 55 m.p.h. would be closely monitored with verbal warnings issued according to the directive. “What we hoped for, happened,” Hough said. “Drivers responded to the warning and voluntarily slowed down.” Hough said that this was evident during the Labor Day weekend, when troopers issued 12,347 citations, down from some 15,000 written over the same period in 1978. Other statistics revealed that of the 8,000 tickets written for violation of the 55 Barry County CALENDAR of EVENTS September 12 - 4-H Saddle Leaders meeting, 7:30 p.m., Extension Office, Hastings September 12 - Barry County Nutrition Council, 9:30 a.m., Extension Office, Hastings September 14 - State Swine Field Day, Michigan State University September 19 - 4-H Dairy Developmental Committee meeting, 8 p.m., Extension Office, Hastings September 22 - State 4-H Foundation Annual meeting, 9 a.m., Room 332, MSU Union, East Lansing September 24 - 4-H Livestock Appreciation Banquet, 7 p.m., Community Building, Fairgrounds, Hastings September 25-27 - Farm Progress Show, Crawfordsville, Indiana September 26 - Barry County Nutrition Council, 1 p.m., Extension Office, Hastings September 29-30 - 2nd Annual Barry County 4-H Competitive Trail Ride, Yankee Springs October 1 - Barry County MAEH Council, 1:30 p.m., Ex­ tension Office, Hastings October 3- Family Issues in Nutrition Day, 9 a.m.-2:45 p.m., Community Building, Hastings - open to the public October 4 - All 4-H Developmental Committees and Leaders meeting, 8 p.m., Community Building, Fairgrounds, Hastings October 3-7 - World Dairy Expo, Madison, Wisconsin October 6 - Poinsettia Seminar, 1-5 p.m., Horticulture Building, MSU campus, East Lansing October 7-13 - National 4-H Week m.p.h. limit, about 1900 were issued to drivers going 65 m.p.g. or less.

Rizor’s letter said he also would develop the north portion of the property along M-66 as a garden-park area open for community use His bid offered $2,000 down payment and the balance on a land contract at 10 percent interest. The council had advertised for cash bids on the property which they acquired in 1974 in order to retain control of the Thornapple River dam, and the village intends to reserve an easement to the dam for maintenance pur­ poses. An old mill structure on the site was razed by the village in 1977. Village President Harold Christiansen referred the bids to a select committee comprised of Trustees Ray Hinckley, Ted Spoelstra, and Forrest Babcock, for study and recommendation to the council. Trustee Sandra Kohfeldt pointed out that a few local residents had recently voiced objections to the village’s planned disposal of the mill site property. They had favored retaining it as a park or boat launch area. She asked for public inpfit on the matter at the next council meeting, en­ couraging those with op­ posing opinions to attend and be heard by the council. In other action Thursday the council: -Extended the dealine for payment of village property taxes without penalty from Sept. 17 to October 20. -Agreed to advertise for applicants to fill three vacant seats on Nashville’s Planning and Zoning Commission and one opening on the Zoning Board of Appeals. -Approved DPW em­ ployees Lariy Corkwell and Scott Decker attending a 4­ day Wastewater Stablization Lagoon Course sponsored by Michigan DNR at MSU’s Gull Lake Conference Center the last week of September, and both taking a January training course on Wastewater Analysis. -Accepted with regrets the resignation of Myrna Wolf as Secretary-Treasurer of the Lakeview Cemetery Board. Maple Valley Board sets millage levy rollback. the debt retirement millage was set at .90 mill amounting to $36,702.48. The millage levy last year for debt retirement was .55 mill. The school district will be receiving state funds under Section 27 of the state aid act in the amount of $40,214 to apply toward payment of the principal and interest on the 1963 bond debt. Last school year the state paid $46,169.00. As the local valuation increases.the state share decreases. The original bond issue in 1963 was in the amount of $1,420,000, and the balance June 30, 1979 was $795,000. The bid submitted by State Farm Mutual Insurance Company for school bus fleet insurance and coverage on other vehicles and tractors was accepted by the board members. The bid was in the amount of $4,821.22 and covers the period October 1, 1979 through September 30, 1980. The annual financial report as prepared by the school auditor was approved for filing with the State Department of Education. The cash balance June 30, 1979 was $417,922 Compared with a balance of $429,002 on Jpne 30, 1978. Delinquent taxes receivable amounted to $4,494, and these delinquent taxes are basically prior to 1975.

Andy is the son of Mr. and Mrs. Richard-Radway, East Lansing, who was born without legs or a left arm. It’s time again for the WCER “Super-ride ‘79’ Bikea-thon’1 to be held Saturday, September 29. Registration begins at 8 a.m. Proceeds from the ride will be used to continue the services of the Jean Granger March of Dimes Prenatal clinic in Lansing, national birth defects research, areas of direct patient aid, prenatal care as well as public and professional education. Bikers will start at the Country Mill on Otto Road (one-half mile north of Vermontville Highway). Bikes will then travel west on Vermontville Highway, then northwest on Clinton Trail to Mulliken Road; north on Mulliken Road to Needmore; east on Need^ more to Otto Road and south on Otto Road to the start point. This circuit must be completed three times for 50 miles. To quench the biker’s thirst, the Country ‘'Mill will furnish free drinks and a snack. The ride should last approximately six hours. Bikers may bring a lunch if desired. The Eaton County CRW (Radio Watch) will be on hand to set up check points and drive the route to be of assistance to the riders throughout the ride as well as an officer from the Eaton County Sheriff Department. If a need should arise an EMT (Emergency Medical Technician) will be there to assist. Last year March of Dimes purchased equipment for the delivery room at Eaton Rapids Community Hospital. Early this year HayesGreen-Beech Hospital in Charlotte received new equipment. Most of the equipment was essential in keeping alive babies who are born prematurely, but some of the equipment can be used on adults as well. Prior to the ride, bikers 12 years and older can pick up sponsor sheets at the REMINDER office in Hastings, WCER Radio Station, area schools and the March of Dimes office in Lansing (482-1249) or call JoeAnn Nehmer, Eaton County Bike-a-thon chair­ man, in Vermontville at 726­ 1019. Each participant is responsible for obtaining sponsors and collecting pledge money after the ride is completed. All par­ ticipants will receive March of Dimes Super-ride cer­ tificates. The person having the most pledges collected and turned in to the March of Dimes by October 15 will win the first prize of a 10-speed bicycle from Coast to Coast in Charlotte. The secqnd highest will win the second prize of a chance to be a D.J. on WCER’s Morning Show. �The Maple Valley News, Nashville, Wednesday, September 19, 1979 — Page 2 Nashville News A sign of the times: Nashville’s Chamber of Commerce, at their meeting last Wednesday, discussed installation of hitching posts on Main Street. In early years, hitching posts and rails lined our village’s thoroughfares. Many private residences .also had such conveniences (we still do) and one still stands in a concrete base near the Kellogg School. Now, with the skyrocketing cost of gasoline, perhaps a return to the old ways is imminent. Anyway, Herb Andler, owner of Mapleleaf Morgan Horse Farm on Guy Road and Manufacturer of Justin Buggys, has suggested to Chanjber president Charles Andrus, Jr., that at least one or two htiching posts be installed on Main Street. Andler often, drives to town in a buggy to shop and take his children to school. Incidentally, the removal of all hitching posts from Main Street was a civic project undertaken by the Woman’s Literary Club some 50 years ago. Last Wednesday, a few Chamber members suggested placing a hitching post at every Main Street parking spot (not as a necessity, but as a novelty that would put Nashville on the map and, perhaps, in the national news). Isn’t it interesting how times change our ideas of “civic improvement”? Parades cost money to stage, a little-known fact that enlightened many Chamber memt^prs last week. Antique auto clubs, bagpipe bands, specialty acts, etc. do not appear for “free” as countless folks seem to believe. In some cases these groups charge a set fee (often $100 or more) while others ask a donation toward a charitable organization4hey represent. A conservative estimate of staging a colorful parade (with other than local talent) is $300 to $500. Chamber members learned this Wednesday during a discussion of the RRDC’s struggle to stage an annual Ready to care for your hair. Weekdays and Evenings by appointment!

Food for thought for civic-minded folks who enjby the traditional celebrations each year. An interesting phenomenon of nature was reported last week by Mrs. Harold (Jo) Christiansen of Nashville. Blooming in the yard of her neighbor, Mrs. Luella Faulkner of Church Street, are wild violets. Usually these delicate flowers only appear in early spring. Perhaps our recent sporadic warm and cold spells have fooled Mother Nature. Clayton Newland of Nashville enjoyed a trip north last week to fish for coho salmon on Manistee Lake. Ac­ companying him on the expedition were two Battle Creek friends. Mrs. Bertha Becker of Nashville was a weekend guest of her son’s family, the Dale Dotys of Charlotte, and enjoyed attending the Frontier Days parade and festivities there. Mr. apd Mrs. Doty’s grown children and their families were all home' for Sunday dinner. Recent visitors at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Joseph Tegel of Nashville were his grandson and family, Mr. and Mrs. Robert Tegel and daughter, of Granite City, Illinois. They were Friday through Wednesday guests at the Tegel home. Mrs; Caroline Jones of Nashville was a weekend guest of Mrs. Thelma Seaver of Battle Creek. The Nashville Senior Citizens organization will meet for a noon potluck dinner at the V.F.W. Hall Wednesday, Sep- ‘ tember 19. A program is planned but at the time of this report had not been announced. A lady who has made and kept countless friendships over her 85 years was recently honored when 98 admirers at­ tended an open house to celebrate the occasion of her bir­ thday. The Nashville home of Mrs. George H. (Marguerite) Wilson was overflowing with well-wishers Saturday af­ ternoon, Sept. 8. One of Marguerite’s first chums, from a 80years-ago kindergarten class, was a special guest. Now Mrs. Elizabeth Starns of Battle Creek, she and Marguerite became friends when they entered school together in what was then a Baptist Chapel on S. W. Capital Ave. there. Several other Battle Creek friends were also present at the event including two ladies, Mrs. Doris Gifford and Mrs. Lillian Fox, who worked with Marguerite at Grand Leader Department Store in Battle Creek during the depression years. Maguerite was employed many years at the store. Earlier she had been with the old Oliver Corp, there and during World War II worked for Eatons in Battle Creek. She moved to Nashville in 1952 when she married George H. Wilson, a well-known Nashville insurance agent who is now deceased. Among the many out-of-town guests were Julia McIntosh, Ethel Rau, Lelia Venn, and Florence Harton, all o%Battle Creek; Mr. and Mrs. Arlie Gasnell of Hickory Corners; and Mr. and Mrs. Otto Christensen of Charlotte. The Open House was hosted by two of Mrs. Wilson’s neigh­ bors, Mrs. Jerry Kent and Mrs. Richard Engle, and her daughter, Mrs. Marian Cousineau of Battle Creek. Following the event, a party of 27 out-of-town guests and hosts enjoyed dinner at the Steakhouse Restaurant. Wednesday dinner guests of Mr. and Mrs. Adrien Pufpaff of Nashville were his brothers and their wives, Mr. and Mrs. Herbert Pufpaff of New Smyrna Beach, Florida, and Mr. and Mrs. Alva Pufpaff of Dowling. The Herbert Pufpaffs have been visiting in Michigan the past month and expected to depart for home this week. Big news in Nashville last week was Tuesday’s over­ whelming vote to improve the village’s present sewer system. Voters by 206-54 approved acceptance of an estimated $3.5 million in state and federal grants offered for the project and consented to issuance of bonds to finance the approximate $1.3 million local share. Nashville has been under order of Michigan’s Dept, of Natural Resources since 1968 to clean up pollution of the Thomapple River by effluent discharged into the stream from the village’s present, wastewater treatment facility. The new project will build a ' special lagoon-and-irrigation type treatment plant on Brumm Road northwest of town and extend additional collection lines to 183 new customers, plus 40 homes now served on septic systems running into storm drains that flow into the river and Quaker Brook. Plans also call for replacement of a Lentz Street collection line serving 27 homes, in order to avoid installation of a costly lift station in that area of town. Williams and Works of Grand Rapids are engineers on the project. Construction bids are expected to be let after property acquisition, easements, and local share financing is set. The Nashville Police Dept, handled 43 complaints during August the village council was advised in a monthly activity report given at Thursday’s meeting by Sgt. Gene Koetje, Acting Chief. Among them were four bad checks, two lar­ cenies, one assault and battery, three fights, and two malicious destruction of property complaints. The depart­ ment also assisted Barry County Sheriff’s Dept, eight times during the month on a variety of complaints. Nashville police issued four moving violations and 25 parking tickets in August, and logged 2,178 miles on the cruiser using 196 gallons of gas. The first three weeks of August the departmenthad only one officer; a second was hired August 23. A family reunion at the home pf Donna and Louis Hickey of rural Nashville welcomed her sister and brother-in-law, Madelyn and Bill Davidson who are here from Brookings, Oregon for a visit. There were 57 present for the Sunday gathering at the Hickey’s. The Davidsons have also called on her other sister and two brothers and families here: Marie and Gayion Fisher, Mr. and Mrs. Russell Smith, and Mr. and Mrs. Edgar Smith, all of Nashville? The Davidsons will also be spending some time with Bill’s family in the Charlotte area. Mrs. Myrtle Graham of Nashville enjoyed a visit last weekend from her two sisters of Dayton, Ohio: Mrs. ChrystaP Victory and Mrs. Irene Weaver. Accompanying them to Michigan were Mrs. Victory’s daughter and family, Yvonne and Keith Jennings and children, Kristen and Kirk. Sunday callers at the Graham home were Mr. and Mrs. Richard Graham and daughter, Autumn, of Delton. Bill Face of Nashville, who has undergone recent surgery at the Veteran’s Hospital at Ann Arbor, is now recuperating at home. He is reported to be recovering very well. We hope to see him out and around soon as Main Street doesn’t seem the same without him. Bill is also quite a noted bike rider and in recent years won a trophy as the oldest entrant in the Harvest Bike Race. Speaking of which, reminds us that Sandi Christie has volunteered to chair a similar 1979 contest. (The RRDC had almost given it up for lack of a chairperson). The Saturday morning race, Sept. 29, is open to all ages and plans are to have it on the new parking lot downtown. Details are available by phoning Sandi at 852-9513 after 5 p.m. Nashville’s new pumper-tanker got initiated Wednesday night when the local Fire Department was summond about 11 p.m. to a barn fire on Ionia Road, six miles north of Vermontville.

All three fire departments were on the scene; Nashville for two hours, Vermontville about three, while Sunfield stood by throughout the night. The fire, at the former Stanley Howe farm was discovered by a passerby who notified neighbors tto call for help. (No one was home at the farmhouse at the time). The large dairy operation suffered extensive damage, ^ome loss of livestock, and sieable loss of rations and equipment. One Nashville fireman reports he was very impressed with the assistance given by neighbors in the area, said to be a very close-knit community. All pitched in to help in any way they could during the catastrophe. Mr. and Mrs. Fred Ackett of Nashville returned home last Wednesday following a month-long visit to Renton, Washington to visit his son and family, the Harold Acketts. Fred and Marguerite enjoyed several family gatherings and picnics and made two trips to the Pacific coast. Over Labor Day weekend they camped at the Camp of 1,000 Trails near Chehalis. They had some rain, but temperatures ranged into the 70’s in the daytime and 50’s at night. Fred, a noted “rock hound”, enjoyed an excursion to the State Fair at Puyallup ^where he chatted with several rock exhibitors thdre. He carried along a few of his favorite petrified Michigan specimens to show the west coast collectors, who were amazed he had found such unusual rocks so close to home. (Fred does most of his “rock picking” in our local area.) The Acketts flew to Washington via Grand Rapids and Chicago. Leisure Time Shows, of Ionia, contacted last week by members of the RRDC committee, agreed to appear at Nashville’s 1979 Harvest Festival. The company will provide a carnival midway for the Sept. 28 and 29 event. Featured will be seven rides and other amusements, mostly geared for the younger generation. Mrs. Esther Buckley of Nashville suffered an ill spell last week and was confined at home at the time of this report. A houseguest last week at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Vern Hawblitz of Nashville was a longtime family friend, Mrs. Helen Sihler of Evergreen Park, Illinois. Mrs. Elizabeth Curtis of Nashville enjoyed attending the recent Saturday open house in honor of Mrs. Marguerite Wilson’s 85th birthday. The following day, Mrs. Curtis was a Sunday dinner guest of her son and family, Mr. and Mrs. Robert Curtis of Nashville, at the Steakhouse restaurant. Two shopping excursions were enjoyed last week by Mrs. Elsie Ramsey and Mrs. Arlie Stambaugh of Nashville. The first trip was to Battle Creek where they also enjoyed a movie at the Columbia theater, and the second trip was to Charlotte. Mrs. Stambaugh was a Monday and Tuesday' houseguest of Mrs. Ramsey. The Nashville ambulance crew was called out during Maple Valley’s opening football game of the season Friday, when a Potterville player sustained injuries.. He was transported to Ingham Medical Center in Lansing for treatment. Sunday evening proved to be a hectic 2 or 3 hours stint for the local ambulance crew. Shortly after 6:30 p.m. they were called to the 400 block of Washington Street when a man fell off his bicycle. No soonet* had they transported him home than a call was received reporting a man on East Sherman was having difficulty breathing. The ambulance rushed him to Pennock where he received treatment and was later ■released. w Returning to their home base, the 'Nashville ambulance was then summoned to Barryville hill on M-79 when a serious roll-over accident injured the driver Notice of Public Hearing Thursday, September 20,1979, at 7:00 P.M. at the KERCLEAHK nFinikW ta,lwh* Castletown Township Hall in Nashville.

Authorities estimate the truck with Iowa plates tumbled end-for-end three times before stopping. Debris was scat­ tered over more than fifty yards. The cab, containing the driver who was alone in the vehicle, was separated com­ pletely from the chassis and found some distance away. The man, who is employed by a repair crew working on the K-BE Connecting Railway in the Nashville area, was taken to Pennock Hospital and confined there with multiple injuries. Those viewing the wreckage at the scene say he was lucky to have escaped with his life. The Nashville Fire Dept, and police also assisted at the accident.* — Nashville Church of the Nazarene is cordially inviting the public to attend three special Sunday services, Sept. 30, to celebrate the 61st anniversary of the church. Former pastors will be present for the occasion which also includes music and a potluck fellowship dinner. Who or what is C.A.T.? They are apparently responsible for the recent cleanup of the Thornapple River millrace along the old mill site on North Main. A quantity of debris which has been clogging the spillway for some time was recently lifted out of the chasm, up over the cement block walls on each side. Except for a heavy old metal safe still lying in the bottom of the race, the iron, brick and wood debris could now be easily trucked away. The village council had recently considered hirings crane to clear the spillway so water could be diverted there during necessary repair work on the Thornapple River dam. The anonymous volunteers left only one clue to their identity. Painted neatly on the sidewalls of the race is the message: “Project CAT 1979. Feel free to help.” Charles Hughes, an internationally-known evangelist from the Thomas Road Baptist Church at Lynchburg, Virginia will speak at the Nashville Baptist Church October 13 and 14. The public is cordially invited to attend these special services. Mrs. William (Sonya) Kjergaard of Nashville underwent knee surgery at Pennock Hospital on Sept. 6 and is now recovering nicely at home, though she must stay off her feet for a while.

Payment may be made to Village Treasurer Lois Elliston by October 20 without penalty. Twenty-one ladies, members of the Nashville Baptist Church PSC Missionary Group, enjoyed a recent outing to Grand Rapids for dinner at Arnie’s Bakery. The journey was made on a church bus driven by Earl De Groot, father of Pastor Lester De Groot. The highlight of a lovely evening was the revealing of each member’s “secret pal” for the past year. New “secret pal” names will be exchanged at the next scheduled meeting of the group. A letter received last week from Wayne Fuller, a Nash­ ville native now of Toledo, added an interesting footnote to the recent “Memories” on Nashville’s early telephone exchange. “Back in those days news did hot travel very fast,” writes Fuller. "When anything big happened 'the telephone operators would spread the news.” She would ring a Jong ring on party lines and those with phones would pick up the receivers and listen to the operator give the news. “I can remember that is how we heard about the ending of World War I,” recalls Fuller. “I was out in the field with my dad, and my mother came running to let us know.” Wayne Fuller also expressed appreciation for the recent Memories on the Class of 1925 and an interest in knowing the whereabout of those still living. Kenneth A. Meade, a Nash­ ville native now of Franklin, wrote to say the same. If anyone knows the whereabouts of the Class of 1925 members not still in Nashville, we would appreciate hearing about that to pass along for interested readers. Incidentally, Meade, an adjunct professor of engineering at Oakland University at Rochester, recently received an honorary doctor of science degree at Sept. 15th ceremonies at the school.

There are 32 new Cub Scouts and 8 new Leaders. The boys will be notified this* week about when and where their dens will be meeting. Sally Peake entertained the kids with a nickerchief slide making project, assisted by Bob Raub, Claudia Finkler and Lucy Martin. Meanwhile Cubmaster Kenneth Meade informed the parents what Cubing involved and asked each area to get together and discuss which parents wanted to be den leaders for their area. They had already been shown a film about a boy and his scout ex­ periences, and given a lot of reading material containing scouting information. Pack meeting business consisted of handing out the Tote-N-Chip cards earned by the boys at the recent campout and membership cards given to Cubs and leaders. Refreshments were served concluding the meeting. We are very pleased by the interest shown by the new Cubs and the parents who attended, especially those who are the new leaders. There are now 70 Scouts in Nashville and we hope to provide a program for them that will contribute to each boy’s experiences and the community.

It was a way of life. Canned goods were far and few between in those early days, and a tin can became a prized possession of many a young fisherman. “About the only canned goods in those days were Lillian and John Appelman show well-stocked store interior, about 1915 . Tobacco counter at left advertises Sunshine cigarettes. Free sulphur matches attracted youngsters as did the wide candy selection.

The Appelman’s sons, Harry and Arthur, helped out in the store.. “Art delivered groceries for Uncle John,” recalls Vern. “Baskets lined one wall of the store.” They were used for filling phoned-in grocery orders, transported by horse and wagon to the waiting customer. Such purchases were generally charged. Credit buying of groceries was an accepted practice back in those days. A weekly tab was run by many customers. “Most everything was put on the books,” remembers Vada Hummel Mix who clerked in the store in the early 1920’s. “Folks paid once a week, when they got their paycheck.” Sometimes payment came through receipt of other commodities. “Farmers traded eggs and butter for groceries,” recalls Mrs. Mix. “When I worked at the store, Milan Cooley’s job was to candle all the eggs received.” All goods bought from other than local suppliers were shipped into town by rail and picked up at the freight depot by the Appelmans. A horse and wagon, or dray as they were called, trucked the groceries the few blocks to the store. Appelman’s Grocery was a special delight to local youngsters who were at­ tracted to spacious candy displays in the front of the store. “If we got a nickel, we would go to Uncle John’s,” reminisced Vern. “He would never weigh the candy, he’d just scoop up a big bunch for us and away we’d go.” x Another attraction for children in those early years were large sulpher matches ■left in loose quantities, free for the taking, on the store’s counters. “We kids probably weren’t supposed to help ourselves to those, but we did,” said Vera “They were mainly for men who bought cigars there.” Appelman’s carried an extensive line of cigars, cigarettes and tobaccos. Matches weren’t the only bulk items in the store. “Not many foods were packaged in those days,” remembers Vern. Fresh ground coffee, white and brown sugar, tea, flour cookies, soda crackers, dried fruits and cheese were a few items sold by weight dispensed from large corv tainers. Even shortening was sold by the pound, scooped from wooden storage kegs in the back room. “Dried sweet corn was also sold by the poundd at Appelmarjls,” recalls Mrs. Mix. “A lady living north of town cut corn from the cob and dried it.” To prepare it cooking later, for housewives would soak the dried corn in water overnight. “I believe it tasted better than canned or frozen corn we get now,” noted Mrs. Mix. Appelman’s back room was filled with barrels of molasses, vinegar, and kerosene. Bushels of fresh fruit and vegetables, in season, and potatoes were other standard items stored in large quantities. “I often teased Uncle John that he used more potatoes on kerosene cans than he sold,” commented Vern. Containers brought to the store for fuel were often without caps. Appelman would stick a raw potato over the spout of a filled can as a makeshift stopper, so the customer could safely cany the fuel home. Appelman’s back room, like most general stores of that day, was a gathering spot for the community. There was a potbellied stove with rocking chairs nearby. “Men would sit around the stove and smoke until the air in the store was just blue," remembers one senior citizen who clerked in the store as a young girl for a 110 weekly salary, about 1917. Out front, a community well provided drinking water from a tin cup chained to the small hand pump. After Appelman’s moved their operation to the brick building on the west side of Main Street (now Nashville Flowers & Jewelry) they continued to sell groceries on credit. “Uncle John trusted everybody he could during the depression yean,” remembers Vern. “When he died, many folks still owed him.” In November 1936, three years after Roman Feldpausch opened his original Cont. next page — LOW PRICES ON U-40 ALSO 5 Reasons To Get Your Next Prescription Filled At Simon Pharmacy 1.

Also everyone who was involved in the softball tournament and contributed so much. I’d like' to thank everyone in­ dividually but there just isn’t room. I’d just-like to say it’s great to live in a small community with so many big hearts. Helen Barlow CARDS OF THANKS Fifty students participated in the Hunter Safety class, offered through the en­ richment program of Maple Valley's community education program. All of the students passed the course and received hunter safety certificates which are needed to obtain their first hunting licenses. Each student received five shells during the class to try the skill of shooting at clay targets. Kurt Hartenburg emerged with the best record, shooting five targets out of five attempts. It was the first time a perfect score had been achieved in several years, said instructor Keith Greenwald. A demonstration of the use of a bow and arrow also was part of the class. Clay targets were donated by the Hastings Moose and shells were donated by Nashvillelfardware and South End Beverage. (Maple Valley News photos by Virginia Alles) Neil Johnson of Hastings assisted in the instruction of the Hunter Safety Class and demonstrated the use of the hand gun. In one of his demonstrations, Neil attempted to shoot through the center of 45 rpm records. He taught the students how to hold a hand gun and discussed aiming techniques, stance, and loading and unloading. Some of the students had an opportunity to fire the hand gun.

Climbing Angel Vine flourishes at Nashville home — It's become a yearly tradition for Orville and Odell Sisk to grow a "Climbing Angel" at their home in Mead-O-Acres Mobile Home Park near Nashville. This year the unusual vine plant climbed beyond the top of their mobile home and is loaded with clumps of pods which resemble gigantic green beans. The longest one measures 15 inches, says Orville who adds that as far as he knows the bean­ like sprouts are not edible. The colorful seeds look like large lima beans speckled with purple and black-purple colors. The Sisks save some of the seeds each year to plant for the next. Mrs. Sisk sta/ted the plant in a bucket in the.spring and then transferred it outdoors when it was about two feet tall. The base of the plant has a tree-trunk appearance. One of the joys of growing the plant are the beautiful pink blossoms which bloom most of the summer, the couple say. A climbing angel the pair grew in Indiana reached 20 feet high.

TOGETHER AGAIN - The legislature returns for fall session this week. There are still a few budget bills to be approved, and several major bills containing revisions and consolidations of present laws are scheduled for debate in the near future. NO PRIMARY? - The Senate Republican Leader has now declared his support for HB 4392, which would abolish Michigan’s presidential primary. That bill must first clear the House, then be approved by the Senate: action will probably come soon. COMP DELAY - Although the special task force studying reform of the workers’ compensation systerh was supposed to meet again this month, issues involved in the auto­ contract talks have caused a delay, probably until at least October 1. LICENSE PACKAGE - The House will soon discuss HB 4114, which contains a new codification of laws licensing professions and occupations. This measure has been developed over the past four years to give uniformity to the licensing structure; it will also improve the handling of consumer complaints and give the public more input into the regulatory process. COURT PROPOSALS - A special Supreme Court com­ mittee has made 21 recommendations for improving state policy for sentencing criminals, including a handbook of guidelines for trial judges, and appellate courts being able to modify sentences. The State Bar has proposed “presump­ tive sentencing,” under which there is a particular, stan­ dard sentence for a particular crime. ABORTION REVERSAL - The Court of Appeals has ruled that Governor Milliken is operating within his constitutional powers when he authorizes publicly-funded abortions after vetoing restrictions in budget bills. This reverses a lower court ruling. This case has not been about abortion as such, but about the Governor’s powers with respect to budget items.

Vegetable production mixed Vegetable production in Michigan this year showed both increases and decreases depending on the commodity, according to the Michigan Agricultural Reporting Service. The 1979 asparagus crop, estimated at approximately 22,900,000 pounds, (up 2 percent over last year), is the largest harvest since 1974. This production was from 18,000 acres, 2 percent more than was harvested last spring, while yield held equal to 1978 at 1,300 pounds per acre. There was an estimated 2,500 acres of strawberries picked this spring in Michigan, down 200 acres and continuing the down­ ward spiral started in the mid-1950’s. Yield per acre, at 54 hundredweight (cwt.), is down 5 percent from last summer but equal to 1977. Because of both lower acreage and yield, total production dropped 12 percent from last season. Production for the 1979 onion crop is forecast at 2,376,000 cwt., 3 percent smaller than last year’s crop, which was the highest production since the record was set in 1965. Onion acreage, at 7,200 acres for harvest, is equal to 1978. Yield is forecast at 330 cwt per acre, down 3 percent from last fall, accounting for the production decrease. Harvest was underway by mid-August. Contracted acreage for processing tomatoes is estimated at 6,300 harvested acres, an 1,800 acre increase over last year. Yields held almost steady at 18 tons per acre. Overall production is expected to be up 46 percent due to the large increase in acreage contracted this year. A cool, wet June caused harvest to start later than normal. At the U.S. level, asparagus production in major producing states is expected to be 1.92 million .cwt., 10 percent more than last year. The final 1979 estimate of strawberries in major producing states is placed at 5.70 million cwt, 7 percent below a year earlier. Total summer quarter onion production is placed at 33.0 million cwt., up 9 percent from 1978 summer quarter output. Production forecasts for seven major vegetables contracted for processing in 1979 total 11.3 million tons nationally, an increase of 11 percent from 1978. • NOTICE • The Village of Nashville has received three bids on the old Mill property located at North Main Street in Nashville.

They are apparently responsible for the recent cleanup of the Thornapple River millrace along the old mill site on North Main. A quantity of debris which has been clogging the spillway for some time was recently lifted out of the chasm, up over the cement block walls on each side. Except for a heavy old metal safe still lying in the bottom of the race, the iron, brick and wood debris could noW be easily trucked away. The village council had recently considered hiring a crane to clear the spillway so water could be diverted there during necessary repair work on the Thornapple River dam.

It's interesting to note that about a half century ago, the Woman’s Literary Club embarked on a civic improvement project to remove all the hitching posts on Main Street. The Chamber has tabled the project pending an investigation of thy need and cost of installing the posts. More details appear in stories by Susan Hinckley in this issue. What woe called a "stepping stone," to assist persons as they stepped out of a carriage is still intact at 603 Washington Street as property owner Roger Wells demonstrates. In the background is an attractive stone hitching post. This hitching post still stands at the Ray Hinckley residence on Reed Street. Although its presence has been symbolic of the past, it may turn out to be a sign of the times. (Maple Valley News photos by Elaine Gilbert) This photo depicts the hitching post near Kellogg School with Scott Sears (left) and Jassin Hamed, an exchange .student from Germany, inspecting the piece of history. - From front — Can You Sing, Dance or Strum??

Lakeview’s scoring drives went 52 yards in 11 plays, 54 yards in 13 plays, and 57 yards in 9 plays as the Lion defense could not find the right combinations. After Lakeview’s third score, the Lions roared back covering 59 yards in 8 plays to reach the Lakeview one yard line, but a penalty ended the Lion scoring threat. The first half ended with the 22-1 score. The Lions threatened to score twice in the second half, but again crucial penalties snuffed out opop­ portunities. ‘ The defense, however, had come to life and did not allow Lakeview to cross the mid-field stripe the entire second half. Maple Valley’s offensive output was primarily the result of 6 completed passes that went for 125 yards. Stan McClintock caught three for 68 yards, Todd Gearhart caught two for 20 yards, and Chris Beebe caught one for 37 yards. Beebe was also the leading rusher with 34 yards in 10 attempts while Doug Cook had 26,yards in 8 at­ tempts. The defense was led by Mighty-Mite Alan Gardner for the second week in a ?ow.

The certificates were awarded for “successful participation in ‘Project Fitness Phase II’ — a means of monitoring the physical fitness levels of students which is an important step toward helping them establish and maintain good physical fitness and health habits early in life.” The trio voluntarily at­ tended meetings in Grand Rapids and reported the results of Maple Valley students who participated in a test battery which included sit-ups, pull-ups (for boys), flex arm hang, 50 yard dash, 600 run walk, standing broad jump, and shuttle run. The results of the local test will be used with results in other parts of the state to establish state norms.

Bill came to Nashville from Diamondale and played on the 1913 NHS team. In his day, Bill recalls, football gear considered standard equipment today was almost non-existant for high school sports. “We had no helmets, no shoulder pads,” said Bill in a “Memories” interview earlier this year. “We just played football.” The team traveled to “away” games in their own autos, or sometimes by train. Since there was no artificial lighting available on the grounds then, games were played in the afternoon, generally following school. The home grounds for Nashville was the old Riverside athletic field, southwest of the present-day Nashville Hardware. There was a small covered bleacher area on the ground which also served as a baseball diamond in season. In the 1950's the field became a midget-auto race track. More recently it Has been virtually abandoned, though the field did host a two-ring circus this past summer. In an attempt to locate the oldest living Nashville football player, Ray Hinckley last week phoned Albert Nesman at East Jordan. He was a member of the 1910 NHS football team and graduated with the Class of 1912. Albert, unable to make the journey hdfe because he no longer drives, suggested Ray call his brother Harry (Class of 1915) at Lansing. Because of other committments he was also unable *, to appear, as was his brother Glen Nesman (Class of 1914) of Clare. Another brother, Carl Nesman (Class of 1917) also resides in Lansing. Two other members of the 1910 NHS football team are thought to be living. They are Newt By Susan Hinckley Trautman arid Glenn Giddings. But research for a “Memories” feature earlier this year failed to turn up their location. Meanwhile, Suzy Corkwell was busy last week making numerous calls to locate Nashville’s oldest living cheerleader, hoping to make the Grand Marshal of Satur­ day’s parade a duo. However, at this writing, she had been unable to turn up anything concrete after consulting several village sources. Mrs. Helen Hecker recalled that when her late husband, Vem, played football for Nashville in 1908 the cheerleaders were unofficial “volunteers”. Girls who wanted a free train ride to out - of - town games would offer to cheer for the local football team if allowed to ride to their destination with them. Football players were very popular fellows, she said. There is a good possibility that the first official cheerleader for Nashville High was actually a male. Although it may be too late to do anything about an ap­ pearance in Saturday’s parade, it would be interesting to learn more about early cheerleaders. Anyone with in­ formation may call or write this reporter. Congratulations to Iris Shaffer and George Hermenitt of our village who were married Saturday, Sept. 15, at the United Methodist Church in Nashville. The ceremony was performed by Rev. Gerald Salisbury, a retired Vermontville pastor. z Also united in marriage Saturday at Nashville’s United Methodist Church were Linda Sherman of Nashville and Stephen Moore of Hastings. She is the daughter of Mrs. Doreen Sherman of our village. Officiating was Rev. Leonard Putnam. Congratulations to the young couple. A recent Saturday afternoon at the Michigan International Speedway at Cambridge Junction near Jackson gave several Nashville folks a chance to watch Hastings native Gordon Johncock compete in two special races and emerge as winner of one. Attending from here were relatives, Doug and Mrs. Gloria Johncock; Larry and Suzy (Johncock) Corkwell, and friends Debby Laurie and, from Hastings, Frank and Coleen Endsley. Johncock .took first place in Saturday’s International Race of Champions, a 100-mile contest of Camaros. The four top winners in the IROC will go on to Riverside, California for additional competition. In the second race Saturday, a 150-mile Indy-style CART race, Johncock completed 37 of the 75 laps before he was knocked out of the competition by a blown piston on his auto. One hundred years of history in Kent County community of Lowell are traced in an unusual book recently donated to Putnam Public Library by Mr. and Mrs. John Hamp of Nashville. The volume, published by The Lowell Ledger in 1931, is similar in content to Nashville’s 1969 Centennial book. Local readers with roots in the Lowell area may find valuable family history information in the edition, amply illustrated with early area photos. The book is entitled "Lowell - 100 Years of History.” Mr. and Mrs. Richard Heinig of Springport called on Mrs. Zoe Gillett Sunday at the home of her daughter, Mrs. Doris Marshall of Nashville. Mrs. Gillett, who resides at the Barry County Medical Care Facility, was visiting her daughter for the day. Larry Corkwell and Scott Decker, employees of the Village Department of Public Works, are attending a training session at Michigan State University’s Gull Lake Conference Center this week. The 4-day Wastewater Stabilization Course is sponsored by the state’s Dept, of Natural Resources. They will both also take additional studies, relating to Wastewater Analysis, in January. Mrs. Elizabeth Wyant of Nashville was a recent weekend guest at Mt. Pleasant of Mrs. Olive Ward, a former Nash­ ville resident. Mr. and Mrs. Clarence Reid of Nashville attended a Sunday afternoon luncheon meeting of Kellogg’s 25-year Club last week. The event was held at Lakeview High School in Battle Creek Township. Tuesday dinner guests of Pastor and Mrs. Roger Claypool ofNashville were Clarence and Margaret Reid of Nashville.

Senior high age youngsters of the Nashville Baptist Church will stage their annual rodeo after the Homecoming Game Saturday afternoon, Sept. 29. The event will be held at the Forrest Gardner residence on N. Ionia Road, Ver­ montville. ___ Charles Hughes, an internationally - known evangelist of Lynchburg, Va., will speak at the Nashville Baptist Church, October 13 and 14. Mystery solved! Project C. A. T., responsible for the recent cleanup of the spillway on the Thornapple River dam, is i a group of three young Nashville men: Chuck Beachnau, Andy Phenix, and Tim Phenix. C., A., and T. had been scuba diving in the Thornapple River near the millrace area when they decided to undertake the project after reading in the Maple Valley News that the village council was considering hiring a crane for the task. They succeeded in lifting a large quantity of iron, wood and brick debris out of the cement walled chasm so that it could be easily trucked away. Still lying in the bottom of the race is a heavy old iron safe. Metal tubing attached to the cement sidewalls of the race also needs to be sheared off before it can be carted away. The boys did all they could without benefit of cutting tools or other equipment, and are certainly commended for their volunteer effort to aid the village. Chuck and Andy were on leave from the U. S. Army during the recent project Chuck, a 2-year veteran is now headed for Korea. Andy, who has been with the Armed Forces 1 year, is now stationed at Ft. Riley, Kansas. Tim Phenix is the only C. A. T. team member currently in Nashville. He soon will be employed by Generall Aluminum in Charlotte; AU are MVHS grads; Chuck in 1977, and Andy and Tim in 1978. Our recent item on Burma Shave signs of the past, based on a Detroit News clipping sent us by Nashville native Kenneth A. Meade of Franklin, prompted librarian La Duska Sheldon to remind readers that Putnam Library has “The Verse by the Side of the Road”, by Frank Rowsome, Jr. The book, relating the story of the Burma Shave signs and jirigles, was donated earlier this year by the family of the late John Simon of Nashville. Mrs. Kathy Vessecchia of Nashville is a patient at But­ terworth Hospital in Grand Rapids. Please remember to cheer her with a card. Putnam Library is in need of up-to-date technological books on a variety of subjects such as welding, television and radio repair, auto mechanics, etc. Anyone having detailed “how-to-do-it” books on such subjects is asked to contact librarian La Duska Sheldon. New officers of the Putnam Public Library Board were elected at their meeting last week at the library. Selected to again serve as president was Mrs. Barbara Sandbrook; and as treasurer, Mrs. Nita Brown was re-elected.

The Lamies enjoyed the beautiful mountains regions of Colorado with special excursions to the Garden of the Gods, the Great Divide, the Royal Gorge near Pueblo, and visits to the exclusive ski resort towns ofAspen and Vail where many celebrities reside in elegant homes. Pete and Roger enjoyed a train trip to the top of Pike’s Peak, a mountain the Lamies saw capped with snow during a brief cold spell last week. Generally, the weather was beautiful and rather warm throughout their visit. Pete and Margaret toured NORAD Headquarters at Colorado Springs one day, an excursion which involved a great deal of walking. Gas was somewhat cheaper in Colorado than in Michigan, the Lamies report. They flew directly to Denver from Grand Rapids. On the return trip, they were met at the Kent County International Airport by Dick and Wilma Bogart of Nashville. Roger Lamie, a Nashville native now with the U. S. Air Force, had been stationed in Virginia prior to his Colorado assignment.

Nashville. Wednesday, September 26. 1979 — Poae 4 Four thrilling balloon ascensions helped lift Nash­ ville’s first annual Harvest Festival off the ground. Professor Mexiell of Grand Rapids was in town to do the arial honors. Nashville merchants had begun laying preliminary groundwork for a one-day celebration early in the summer of 1906. By mid­ August two balloon ascen­ sions, two ball games, sports of various kinds, acrobatics, band concerts and evening flreworks were slated, and the event had blossomed into a 2-day affair set for August 31 and Sept. 1. The festival came off in even grander style than anticipated, earning Nash­ ville the reputation of “doing all she promises and a little more,” boasted the News. The number of promised ascensions had doubled. “Nashville’s Harvest Festival of 1906 is over and done, but it will be long remembered as the most successful celebration ever promoted here,” noted the News in a recap of the event. “Everything went off precisely as advertised, except that the parade, planned for Friday morning, was postponed until af­ ternoon on account of threatening weather” But the weather did clear off nicely and there were several thousand people in town by noon Friday and perhaps twice that number attended the celebration on Saturday, according to News estimates. Sporting events attracted a good deal of attention and ended with several dose finishes. “Claude Smith and Russell Marble shared the honors in dash events,” reported the News. “Seth Graham won the hop-step-and-jump, the standing jump, the mile run, and the half-mile run.” A tug-of-war between two teams representing Castleton and Maple Grove townships was the “best ever”, according to the News; the, four balloon ascensions were “par- ticularly thrilling”, and the baseball games and dances both nights were “ex­ cellent”. In wrapping up the 1906 festival, the News advised readers that* “it has now been definitely decided to make such a Harvest Festival an annual event.” Preprations for the 1907 celebration were started the following June. “The committees are now at work getting special attractions, sports and other things in readiness,” disclosed the News. “Nothing will be left undone to make this celebration one of the largest ever held in this part of the country.” As the News went to press late Tuesday night, Nash­ ville’s 1907 Harvest Festival was set to commence Wednesday morning. Main Street was lined with booths and tents, street merchants were getting in shape to display their wares, merry-go-rounds, doll and cane racks were inplace, and moving pictures and wild Nashville has always loved a parade.

Large crowds' flocked to Nashville for the event; in fact, the crowd on Thursday was “the largest ever seen in the village,” observed the News. The weather was ideal and could not have been better if it had been made to order. There was not a single ac­ cident to mar the fun, everything passed off as advertised, and spectators were highly pleased with the entertainment, according to the News report. “Everything that was advertised was given, and much more,” declared the News in recapping the 1907 affair. “The festival exemplified the truth of the reputation Nashville has of never doing anything by halves.” Succeeding years brought a repeat of the annual celebration, with a few new added attractions from time to time. “A watermelon eating contest and a smoking contest will be given at the south end of Main Street during the Harvest Festival,” advised the News in August 1908. That year, Nashville’s third annual “big time” was rated a complete success from beginning to end, with “fine weather and no accidents to mar the celebration.” 4 Four balloon ascensions at Nashville’s first Harvest Festival thrilled spectators and helped get the annual event "off the ground." Utility poles dominate this southward view of Main Street during an early celebration. Salted peanuts, cracker jack, ice cream and cigars are offered at a concession stand on m idway. A spectator watches lift-off from his perch atop Munroe's Star clothing store,three doors south of Barker's Bakery on right.

M. Fowler, the performance would highlight the day. “It will take place at Riverside Park, im­ mediately following the ball games, but admission for the drill will be free,” informed the News. “The gates will be thrown open immediately following the close of the game, so that all may see the drill free of charge.” The following year, the News could not report “no accidents to mar the festivities” as two un­ pleasant incidents did occur during Nashville’s 1910 celebration. The proprietor of the Uneeda Lunch Room, whom the News described as a “school boy just recently started in business”, was arrested the first day of the festival by Deputy Sheriff Manni of Hastings for selling a drink called “Tonica”, a near-beer. The accused was taken to Hastings bn the 3:55 p.m. train to appear before Justice Bishop to be bonded for examination. The news said the young lad had been persuaded by the maker of the goods to handle them, with the promise that if he Continued on next page— For all your INSURANCE NEEDS See or Call...

A sad mishap marred the traditional parade. x “Billy, the proud old white hourse owned by Mrs. C. J. Schiedt, dropped dead while being rode in the street parade Thursday,” lamented the News. “Walter Schiedt was riding him when he became frightened by an automobile.” Such misfortune notwithstanding, Nashville continued to stage the annual Harvest Festival until 1931 when the financial doldrums of the Great Depression seriously 'sw sw ;SS: ; !S SB ME “Waiffliii Waifflianiiii 1 M Waiffli ?*•< the M *><|«S WESTERN PINES TACK SHOP !W$t ^pfaten > in*^iheW deafer Ht 192 N.

W — HOURS — IBBI, hampered financial backing for the affair. However, by August 1935 Nashville’s Harvest Festival-Homecoming was reborn “in real carnival spirit, with enthusiasm which comes from the. presence of many people,” the News rejoiced. That year’s affair, in addition to providing a chance for greeting old friends and relatives, also served as a dedication of Nashville’s newly-completed , $70,000 bridge and highway improvements on North Main, a National Recovery Act project designed to help relieve the pinched economy on a local level. A second national crises World War II - again interupted the Harvest Festival observance in 1941 and the celebrations were not resumed until 1951. By then the events were sponsored by Nashville’s Fire Dept, and other civic organizations and labeled as a Harvest Festival and Community Fair. The celebrations survived into the 1960’s until Nashville’s 1968 Centennial observance outshone all past Harvest Festivals. New life was again breathed into the traditional celebration in 1977 when the Riverside Recreational Development Corp, resurrected Nashville’s annual Harvest Festival, helping the community build bridges to many happy memories of the past.

Instructor of the ISS room is Robert Losik, a licensed social worker arid a certified teacher in physical education and psychology. With a background as a child care worker, Losik brings, to his new job, experince in dealing with youngsters’ problems. He has served eight years’^ag, a juvenile corrections officer for Kalamazoo and St. Joseph Counties and six years a probation officer. Losik said one of his roles in his new position is to offer tutoring to studerits while they are in the ISS room. Encyclopedias and a dic­ tionary are available in the room. x “Schools are charged with the education of all youngsters and the ISS room gives the school another alternative or optiorfto meet this need,” he said. A goal of the program is to help break what Losik terms a student’s cycle of failure — grade-wise and academically. In addition to supervising students with their assignments, Losik says he 'talks to them them about about moJlvation and putting quality into their work. Another goal is to help students to realize how many abilities they may have. Another helpful tool is the use of a casette and slide presentation program about study habits and survival skills. On the average this year, about three students are iff suspended status per day, said Losik adding that one of the biggest offenses is smoking in the building. The majority of the students who have been suspended already this year have decided to stay in the ISS room. “Only a few have chosen out of school suspension,” said Losik.>. The rules of the ISS. room are strict and enforced. “The rules are constructed^ maxirfiize an atihosphere e0h(fuci,Y|! to studying. Assignments are given to the student through the ISS instructor. Teachers receive a ‘Request for Assignments’ forms for each ISS student and return them to the ISS instructor.” Assignments are checked by the ISS instructor for completeness. When assignments have been finished, the students may read something qf_,their choice. Losik commented that “the process has worked well, mainly due to the effort of the Junior-Senior High new “In School Suspension Room” which has grown out of a philosophical change in dealing with discipline problems. “Out of"School Suspen­ sion” created a cycle of events that lead to the student’s failure in school. The new program hopes to break down that cycle. In School Suspension (ISS) gives a student an op­ portunity to stay in school, but not with the general student body while in suspended status. Under the former procepdure, students received a “0” in classes missed during a suspension. The' new program eliminates that and allows the student a chance to keep up with his school work even even though a student is not in his regular classroom setting. Upon being suspended, the student and parent have the choice of the student fulfilling the day or days of suspension in the ISS room or at home. ISS is an alternative available to suspended students three times during a school year. The new program is admisistered through Mr. Larry Lenz, assistant princial who handles discipline referrals. If a student is suspended and a student selects the ISS program, a contract is signed stipulating that the student agrees to follow the niles of the the ISS room and with Lenz agreeing to allow £T------------- K OPE OPENING I BAKERYlsept 28th Country Goodness-Country Freshness Country Wholesome Country Corners FARM MARKET HOMEMADE JAMS and FRUIT PIES Jam Delicious Breads, Rolls , Doughnuts and more! 1 < FARM MARKET Corner of M-66 & State Road - Phone 8524945 Wtere Fresh FniiH Pmiace is always a rnnjt!QPE EH Ml» 10-6: Sunday 12-6 Bi September 25 - 4-H Dairy Developmental Committee meeting.'8 p.m..

The varsity squad stole their way to a 31-17 half-time lead through the efforts of Julie Barlow who had 5 steals and Diane Cook with 4. The girls played exciting ma’m to ma’m defense which z caused many Vestaburg ball-handling errors and enabled the Lions to build the 14 point half-time lead. The lightening quick fast break of Valley turned those errors into lay-ups giving the Lions a 40 percent field goal accuracy for the night. Julie Barlow’sJT of 11 field goal accuracy" paced the Valley squad. Melissa Coffman added an excellent 47 percent for the night, hitting on 7 of 15 attempts.

Paced by Decker’s superb rebounding and the added bench strength of Deanna Marks, Kris Sample and Becky Cowell, the Valley girls never trailed in the contest. The only close call came late in the game when Lion fouls put the host Wolverines at the free-throw line. Also seeing action for the Lions were Kathy Christopher, Candace Mater, Melanie Rogers and Joyce Warner.

Quarterback Scott Lenz handed off to George Steinbrecher who took it in for the first touchdown climaxing a 60 yard drive by Nashville. Scott Lenz ran around the end for the extra points.

A weekly^ Ernest Nash State Representative SPENDING” CUTS T Governor Milliken has told department heads to plan spending cuts for the coming fiscal year since it is now clear that revenues will not cover authorized appropriations. The exact amount of cuts needed is not yet -known. NO VOTE - The State Supreme Court has ruled unanimously that voters do not have the right of referendum on increased fuel taxes and license plate fees. Thus last year's increases stand: the petition drive for a vote on them has no effect. AID LOSS? - School districts that are not in session on September 28 due to strikes face loss of their state school aid, since that is the date set by law for a count of pupils in attendance, on which count state aid is based. ROLLBACK RULING - The Attorney General has ruled that for purposes of the Headlee Amendment, the “maximum authorized rate” of taxation is that authorized by law or charter, not what is currently being levied. This comes in response to the enactment of HB 4232, which said the same thing. Thus the rollbacks required under Headlee will apply to such maximums. PROTEST DAY - Last Wednesday was a bright and sunny day at the Capitol, which was the scene of much activity: hundreds of motorcyclists parked their bikes around the Capitol and held a rally against present laws requiring helmets; also State Police troopers picketed the Capitol as part of their continuing dispute with the Governor on im­ plementing bargaining rights. , NO PRIMARY? - It is beginning to look like the final decision on Michigan’s presidential primary will be up. to the Governor. Last week a House committee killed a bill to require voters to announce Party preference; this leaves HB 4392; which would abolish the primary. It will probably be approved by the Senate next month: the Governor could then sign or veto it. COLOR TOUR - Early indications are that this will be a spectacular season for a fall color tour in Michigan’s north country! prime time for the tour is right about now. It’s good to remember that gasoline is readily available there, too, at prices no higher than elsewhere. . FIRST BILL - The first House bill introduced in the fall session -was HB 4842, which is a substantial proposal to revise and consolidate Michigan’s criminal code. It includes revised penalties, sets standards for evidence and requires rehabilitation programs. . NO LICENSE - The Attorney General has ruled that self­ propelled lawn mowers and snow blowers do not have to be registered as motor vehicles even though they may be driven on highways, since that involves just getting to a destination rather than transporting people or property.

Actually, the Lions won the battle of statistics, Unfortunately, touchdowns are what winsi ballgames. The first quarter ended 0-0i when the Lions held Pennfield to 0 first down while moving the ball in close! themselves. A costly penalty on one drive and an in­ tercepted pass on another kept the Maple Valley team from scoring. The second quarter was more of the same, except, that Pennfield returned an interception 34 yards for a 7­ 0 Pennfield lead at half-time. The third quarter was a Lion disaster. The opening kick-off was fumbled giving Pennfield possession on the 20 yard line. They promptly scored. After the ensuing kick-off, Maple Valley fumbled on the first play from scrimmage giving Pennfield the ball on the 21 yard line. They scored again. Following the kick-off the Lions were forced to punt, and the kick was returned for a touchdown giving Pennfield 3 touchdowns in 3 minutes and a 26-0 lead. Maple Valley continued to dominate the statistics but could not score until early in the fourth quarter when Jeff ■ Meade hit Stan McClintock with a 21 yard touchdown pass. Aaron Snider kicked the extra point. Maple Valley had a touch­ down called back when Chris Beebe and others tackled a Pennfield ball carrier hard enough to jar the ball loose.

Wolverine fans in Ann Arbor can see the fall color changes in the lush foliage which hugs the shore of the Huron River. The first tinges of autumn’s reds, yellows and golds are found on the campuses of Michigan Tech and NMU in the western U.P., where the color changes start each year. The fall color gradually moves southward until it finally reaches the college towns of Ypsilanti, Ann Arbor and Adrian. In addition to these major universities and four-year colleges, Michigan also has many junior and community colleges where football fans can watch a pigskin being kicked around while en­ joying autumn’s spectacular fall foliage.

The 2-day event revived a traditional observance first celebrated in the village more than 70 years ago. Recently the affair has been staged by the Riverside Recreational Development Corp., a group of local volunteers, as part of an ongoing fund raising effort to build community recreational facilities along the Thornapple River near Nashville’s business district. Reigning over the weekend festivities was Nashville’s 1979 Harvest Queen, Alice Rhoades. Her coronation during a Friday evening talent show at Sandyland Park capped a special year for Mrs. Rhoades, a mother of seven who has 11 grandchildren and 7 great­ grandchildren. In 1979 she observed her 79th birthday and she and her husband, retired local minister Rev. E. F. Rhoades, celebrated their 60th wedding anniversary. Chosen by the. community votes from a field of nine candidates, Mrs. Rhoades learned at Friday’s event that she had been selected as Harvest Queen. The name of the winner, announced by talent show emcee Kenneth F Meade, Sr. of Jackson, had been a wellguarded secret of an RRDC committee until then. Performances at Friday’s talent show included a variety of dancing, vocal, instrumental, comedy and acrobatic routines. A Friday night street dance featuring the music of the D. Hammond band drew a large crowd of young people to the downtown area, following an early evening “powder puff” football game between Maple Valley High School’s junior and senior girls. A traditional bonfire, pep rally and snake dance followed the game at the Fuller Street football field. Saturday’s events were kicked-off with a 10,000 meter (6.2 mile) Harvest Run. Among the 99 entrants were runners from Nashville, Vermontville, Battle Creek, Hastings, Delton, Woodland and Bellevue. Duane Spitz, 30, of Holt, took first place in his age category and top honors overall in the race, covering a circuitous route of rolling country roads in 31 minutes 54 seconds. Spitz, who runs 100 miles a week to keep in shape, will run the Detroit Marathon in a bid for the 1980 Olympics. Well-known in Michigan running circles, Spitz finished 12th out of 1,992 finishers in a recent 10mile Bobby Crim race at Flint. His time there was 51:30. Top female runner in Nashville’s Harvest Run was Arlene Allen, 32, of Caledonia. She finished 61st overall and with a time of 46:02. Her husband, David, finished 28th overall with a time of 40:19. ’Other Saturday morning events included judging of the harvest produce and floral exhibits in a traditional festival com­ petition. A perfectly shaped pumpkin grown by Richard Sackett of Vermontville took top honors when it tipped the scale at 153 pounds. Other categories in the contest were best squash, best produce exhibit, best carved pumpkin, sun­ flowers, unusual and miscellaneous produce. In the floral competition Lois Barton of Nashville was awarded first prize for her fresh flower arrangement of black-eyed . Susans and Queen Anne’s lace in a small earthernware crock. Judy Rogers of Vermontville won top honors in the dried floral arrangement contest. Activities near Nashville’s downtown area Saturday included a contest of the Mighty-Mini Tractor pullers of Olivet; a Scottish pipe and drum performance by the kiltie-clad Clan Mac Neil of Lansing; an ox roast, arts and crafts displays, flea market, bake sales, book sale and carnival. Over 100 harvest theme posters painted or sketched by local youngsters decorated store windows. A bike race open to all ages and a canoe race down the Thornapple River added to the festivities. Highlighting Saturday afternoon activities was a Colorful and creative arts and crafts filled Nashville's Central Park and added to the festive mood of the celebration. combined Harvest Festival Homecoming parade led by Grand Marshall Bill Face, a member of Nashville’s 1913 high school football team and the" oldest surviving player still residing in the village. Many colorful floats and unique entries thrilled parade watchers. A real crowd-pleaser was the Shrine Club Mini-T Patrol and Saladin Mini-500 Autos from Battle Creek. Harvest Queen contest nets over $2,600 By Susan Hinckley Again this year, the Nashville-Harvest Queen contest was the top money-maker of all festival events sponsored by the Riverside Recreational Development Corp, during the recent celebration. When the final tally of canister votes fof nine queen candidates was made at noon last Friday, a total of $2,624.27 had been received in three weeks of collection. PARK V RECREATIONAL DEVELOPMENT CORP • IN COOPERATION WITH MICHIGAN DEPARTMENT OF NATURAL RES0U^ES xx Z Xoox? Add to this amount $45, representing a $5 nominating fee paid by each sponsor for their candidate, and it brings the total 1979 Harvest Queen contest proceeds to nearly $2,700. Thanks to a terrific amount of community en­ thusiasm, the last week of the 1979 race netted more money than did the entire 1978 Harvest Queen contest in which 10 candidates participated. At the final count Friday, Alice Rhoades had received the greatest amount in canister votes; Julie Ann Reid was in second place; and Evie Van Egan was third. RRDC officials expressed appreciation Friday for the participation of the nine lovely candidates, their sponsors’ support, and Nash­ ville’s community spirit which made such a suc­ cessful 1979 Harvest Queen race possible. All proceeds of the event will help develop a com­ munity recreational park near the Thornapple River, west of Main Street business district. The parade stepped off at Putnam Park and ter­ minated at the Fuller Street football field where Maple Valley hosted Carson City for a Saturday afternoon homecoming game, ending with a 20-12 victory for the home team Lions. At half-time ceremonies, seniors Rusty Blakely and Susan Fox were crowned as Homecoming King and Queen; John Kent and Debbie Best as Prince and Princess. The newlycrowned royalty reigned over an evening homecoming dance at Maple Valley High School. Meanwhile adults were winding up the weekend festivities with a “Harvest of Hits” dance at the Nashville fire barn, as they danced to the nostalgic sounds of the 50’s and 60’s from Larry Schaub’s extensive collec­ tion ofrecords from that era.

Glenmont, Edison’s home and estate, were also visited. Both locations are designated as National Historic Sites, administered by the National Park Service. The Maurers attended a reunion banquet at which the guests of honor were Mr. and Mrs. Theodore Edison. He is the youngest son and only living child of Thomas A. Edison. Tenative plans were made in New Jersey to hold a second reunion in 1981 at Dearborn. On the agenda will be a tour of Greenfield Village to see the large collection of Edison memorabilia there. Nelson and Geneva Brumm entertained several couples from Grand Rapids and Grand Haven Thursday, following a luncheon gathering at the Steakhouse. The friends meet once a month for dinner out, then return to the home of the host, for dessert and visiting. The Brumms became acquainted with the folks several years ago through Geneva’s brother, the late Dale Devine of Nashville.

Calicos, linen and straw articles, trinkets, jewelry, replicas of old fashioned toys and books, and a profusion ofpenny candy fill the store, located in the original Barker’s Bakery building. Recent restoration by David and Caroline Dimmers has kept the pre-1900 architecture intact and authentic old store fixtures from the Dimmers’ ex­ tensive collection have brought a beautiful touch of nostalgia back to the heart of Nashville. Little Brandi Thornton, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Tom (Janet) Thornton of Assyria, was honored on her 4th bir­ thday with a Sunday, Sept. 23, party at her home. Present in addition to her parents and sister, Jennifer, were her maternal grandmother, Mrs. Gloria Johncock of Nashville; her paternal grandparents, Shirley and Jim Thornton of Cloverdale; her uncle Doug Johncock of Nashville and friend Debby Laurie; and her aunt and family, Suzy and Larry Corkwell & daughters, Lisa and Rebecca of Nashville.

Thomas and Margaret Leonard left Nashville to take up residence in Hastings, and will be missed in the village. Thomas, a free lance writer, was the first male ever ap­ pointed to the Putnam Public Library Board, a post he filled with a great deal of dedication and efficiency. Several Nashville area 4-H families were represented at last Monday’s Livestock Banquet at the Community Building on the Barry County Fairgrounds. The annual event gives 4-H youths who sold animals at the Barry County Fair an opportunity to express appreciation to their buyers. A fabulous feast including roast beef, pork, rabbit and lamb was prepared by the 4-H families. A fantastically talented group of Western Michigan University students,‘performing under the name of “Gold Company”, captivated the audience of 260 with a spirited medley of country hits, led off by John Denver’s “Country Roads.” Hilarity followed, as the company presented a comic routine of popular singing commercials. A solo parody, “Saturday Night in Toledo, Ohio”, brought roars of laughter from the crowd. Formerly known as the “Varsity Vagabonds”, the company is com­ prised of twelve singers and dancers, backed by a band of four musicians. Ron Dingerson, Barry County agricultural agent with the Cooperative Extension Service, acted as emcee at the banquet. Parents, guests and buyers were intorduced by 44 youngsters representing 4-H clubs from throughout Barry County. Those from the Nashville area hosting guests were the families ofJohn Mater, Gene Mater, Don Steinbrecher, Duane Hoffman, David Hagon, Russel Keech, and Earl Wilson. Ramrodding the operation of roasting the meat for Monday’s feast were Albert Bell of Nashville and his brother, Lee Bell, aided by several “trainees” who will assume the responsibility next year. Recent Sunday visitors at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Bill Face of Nashville were Mrs. lai (Ehret) Stewart of Lansing; Mrs. Margaret Burrows of Grand Ledge; and Mr. and Mrs’ Ed Butters, daughter and grandson of Charlotte. Nashville’s police officers participated in semi-annual qualification shooting with Barry County Sheriff’s Dept, officers at the Barry County Conservation Club on Sept. 20, and came away with very high ratings. Sgt. Eugene Koetje, Acting Chief, shot 285 out of a possible 300 to earn the rank of “expert”. Patrolman Walter Pincumbe scored 291 291, earning the first leg of a “distinquished expert” classification. To earn his badge in that category, Pincumbe must shoot equally well four more times in similar com­ petition overr a period of time. All Barry County law enforcement officers are required to qualify on on the firing range every six months as aa requisite for maintaining their employment The officers fire 60 rounds in a variety of stances and positions, including kneeling, with occasional use of barricades or other simulated situations. Shooting distances are also varied in the competition. Officers are required to alternate between using their left and right hand to fire the sidearm they would normally carry while on duty. Recent houseguests of Mrs. Elsie Ramsey of rural Nash­ ville were her two sisters, Mrs, Gloria Fish of Indian River and Mrs. Barbara McDonald of Troy. The ladies spent Tuesday through Friday with Mrs. Ramsey. Tuesday evening they enjoyed dinner out at the Spa Steak House in Battle Creek. Thursday, they visited Cornwell Turkey Farm near Marshall. A caller last Wednesday on Mrs. Ramsey was her daughter, Mrs. Claudette Myers of Charlotte, who spent the day here visiting. Remember Nashville’s United fund drive starts today. The local goal for 19804s $1,800. Please be generous with the solicitor calls. Regarding last week’s “Memories” on Nashville’s early Harvest Festival celebrations: Mrs. Helen Hecker phoned to say the tent visible near the furniture store (now'Masonic Temple) was the merry-go-round. “It always sat in that spot,” she reports, and she even recalled the price of a whirl on the magic machine. “Tickets for a ride on the merry-goround were five cents each, or six for a quarter,” Helen noted. Mrs. Hecker said the merry-go-round was about the only amusement ride provided by the early Harvest Festivals. Another note of interest on the subject: George B. Dean recalls that his father, George O. Dean, accompanied the Knights of Pythias Uniformed Drill Team on a journey to the west coast about 1906. (The drill team under the direction of Capt. S. M. Fowler had performed at Nashville’s 1908 Harvest Festival.) “Father was not a member of the team but was a friend of Sherman Fowler and his father, Charles,” remembers George. The late Mr. Dean and the Fowlers were Maple Grove neighbors in those years. The drill team rented a sleeper and baggage car on the Grand Trunk Railroad for the trip to California, recalls George. His father returned home alone via a scenic northern-route through Canada.

Recent visitors at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Lorin Garlinger were Mr. and Mrs. Orville Gaunt and daughter, Karen, of Allendale, New Jersey. She is the former Madeline Garlinger of Nashville, a graduate of the Class of 1926. Mrs. Bertha Becker of Nashville was a weekend visitor of her granddaughter and family, Brenda and Don Starkweather and children at Grand Ledge. Upon returning home she had a surprise visitor Monday - a neice whom she had not seen in many years. The callers were Mae and William Benjamin of Ypsilanti. Only Mrs. Verna Frederick of Nashville knew the destination of last Tuesday evenings’s mystery trip that took 39 senior citizens from the Nashville Nutrition Site to Battle Creek for dinner at the Ponderosa Steakhouse on E. Columbia. The journey was made on a Nashville Baptist Church bus, driven by Earl DeGroot of Bristol Lake. The weather was perfectly beautiful and all report having a very good time. Serving on the committee with Mrs. Frederick were Mrs. Mildred Burd and Mrs. Elizabeth Wyant of Nash­ ville. Saturday evening visitors at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Austin Schantz of Nashville were Mr. and Mrs. Jack Smith and family of Battle Creek, and Mr. and Mrs. Victor Schantz, Jr. of rural Hastings. Friday callers were Mr. and Mrs. Ted Hansen of Chicago and Mrs. Helen Sihler of Evergreen Park, Illinois. Mrs. Elizabeth Curtis of Nashville was a Sunday dinner guest at the home of her son and family, Robert and Virginia Curtis and children, in honor of Robert’s birthday. Mr. and Mrs. Bernard Meinertz of Battle Creek were Sunday dinner guests of Mr. and Mrs. Vern Hawblitz of Nashville. “The Two-Hour Too-Short Sunday School” is the title of an instructional- film to be shown at 6:30 p.m. Wednesday, October 3, for all Sunday School personnel and church workers at the Nashville Baptist Church. Misfortune has not altered evangelist Charles Hughes’ plans to speak at the Nashville Baptist Church at 7 p.m. Saturday, October 13, and at Sunday School and morning church service, October 14. One year ago, Hughes and his evangelistic team from Lynchburg, Virginia were involved in a very serious auto accident that totally destroyed their van, critically injured them all, and left Hughes in a coma for three months. Doctors gave little hope for survival, but after seven major operations Hughes has recovered suf­ ficiently to continue ministering. Last weekend the Hughes team was again involved in a crash that totaled their van. This time , however, there were, fortunately, no serious injuries reported. The group is expected in Nashville on schedule. Music for the Hughes services will be furnished by Bruce McCoy of Lynchburg, Va. Pastor Terry Puett of Lake Center Bible Church near Portage conducted Sunday morning services at the Nash­ ville Baptist Church, while Pastor Lester DeGroot of Nash­ ville filled in there. The pastor exchange kicked off the re­ enactment of the “Hatfield and McCoy” feud between the two churches in an October Sunday School promotion. At the end of the month, the losing church staff will host the win­ ning team for dinner. In addition, the losers will spend several hours Saturday at the winning church, washing cars for all members of the congregation who wish to take ad­ vantage of the free service. The Cathedral Quartet of Stow, Ohio will appear at the Nashville Baptist Church to highlight the Hatfield-McCoy promotion. Concerts by the group, voted the top gospel singers in America last year, are set for 3 and 7 p.m. Sun­ day,' October 28. Judging from past performances by the quartet here, a full house is anticipated and those planning to attend are encouraged to arrive at the church early. Sunday, October 7, has been set for a “Pony Express” breakfast at the Nashville United Methodist Church; The 7:30 a.m. event will kick-off the annual fall stewardship campaign, a program conducted by the congregation to underwrite the church budget for the year. The annual meeting of the Nashville United Methodist Church will be held Tuesday, October 9, at the church. The time is set for 7:30 p.m. Included in the agenda is the elec­ tion of church officers for the 1980 year and the adoption of a Results can be yours too! 1 wa.nt to give you the greatest net profits per acre possible.

Acting as chairman of the meeting will be Dr. Lawrence Taylor, Superintendant of the Lansing District of the United Methodist Church. All members of the local congregation are urged to attend this very important meeting. The Nashville United Methodist Women will meet at the church at 9:30 a.m. Wednesday, October 3. Thursday, October 4, the Cloverleaf Class of the United Methodist Church will meet at the Community House of the church for a 1:30 p.m. dessert luncheon. Co-hostess are Marie Ayers and Hazel Morgenthaler. The Nashville Garden Club meets today, October 2, at the Curtis Craft Center for a 2 p.m. program on “A Taste of Art.” Tea committee for the event is Gunda Pennock and Helen Kesler. Clarence and Margaret Reid have been busy lately, traveling to visit their children and also entertaining at home. Last weekend they were in Cadillac to visit Mr. and Girl Scouts begin new year, join now — Troops are now being organized and meetings will begin in October. The 1st graders will have as their leader, Yulanda McClure and Cheryl McClure. These two have a long im­ pressive background in scouting and we are happy to get a 1st grade troop together again. Their first meeting will be Oct. 3rd, Wed., and each following Wed. to be held at school. 2nd graders will be meeting on Wed. but a starting date has not been set yet. These girls will be notified as soon as details are worked out. Two new leaders are taking this troop, Lana Oster & Nancy Car­ penter. 3rd graders will also meet Wed. Oct. 3rd at school and have as their leaders, LuAnn Yeadon & Maxine Ryan. All Brownie meetings then will be on Wed. nights after school till 5:00.

We again remind all girl Scout families to support our glass re-cycling project by saving those bottles, they are “cash in the pocket” for troops to carry on their activities. If any uniforms are hanging in the closets, going unused because the girls have moved up to other troops we would like to get them back into circulation again. If you have such a uniform, call LuAnn Yeadon our uniform exchange person. Registration fee to join scouts is $3.00 this year and must be in by Oct. 25th. Any girl wishing to join scouts but missed getting the forms at school may call Joyce Rathburn, 726-0524. Mrs. Darwin Reid and family, and then went on to Kalkaska to see Mr. and Mrs. Jerry Reid, who recently moved there from Nashville. Accompanying Clarence and Margaret north were their grandchildren, Mindy and Amy Reid, daughters of Mr. and Mrs. Arden Reid of Nashville. Before leaving for the northern trip, the Reids were in Charlotte at the home of son Vernon and family, to help celebrate grandson Gregg’s birthday. Thursday evening Mr. and Mrs. Clarence Reid en­ tertained for dinner Pastor and Mrs. Roger Claypool and children of Nashville; Mrs. Jean Reid of Nashville; Ernie Withey of Vermontville; and Mr. and Mrs. Harry Rollins and daughter of Nashville. No one is talking about plans for the old-fashioned “necessary” temporarily situated north of the Baptist Church last week, but Assistant Pastor Don Roscoe says it has to do with a lot of “craziness” that will be part of the Nashville church’s October feud, based on the legendary Hatfield-McCoy confrontation, with the Lake Center Bible Church at Portage as each church tries to top the other in Sunday school attendance. Anyway, the Phillips Street “addition” added to the nostalgic feeling in the community during last weekend’s Harvest Festival. Last week saw another addition to the village just in time to spark the Harvest Festival spirit. Installed near the new parking lot west of Main Street stores was a project sign designating the community park recreational area to be developed with grant funds by the Riverside Recreational Development Corp., sponsors of last weekend’s celebration.

Wednesday. October 3. 1979 — Page 4 Memories of the past By Susan Hinckley Holler’s first mill pre­ dated publication of the first Nashville News, but as early as 1874 lively editor Orno Strong was keeping tab on Holler’s thriving business: “Philip Holler has added to the many improvements in his flourishing mill a new power corn shelter that works like a charm and will shell two bushels of corn in a minute,” wrote Strong. Holler, who conducted religious services and of­ ficiated at several village weddings, was noted as a kind man. When a thieving scoundrel stole all Holler’s watermelons just one night before he had promised to treat all the children of the community, Holler still made good his promise. “To show you what sort of a button our Elder Holler is, he promptly went out and Fall in early Nashville meant harvest time, and village life centered around a grist mill on North Main Street as leaves turned to russet. Pressing apples for cider and simmering vats of rich apple .butter and jelly, and the milling of countless barrels of flour, kept the old waterwheel humming amid sweet aroma during autumn’s golden days. A preacher known as Elder Philip Holler (sometimes called Peter) was Nashville’s pioneer miller. In 1868 he and his wife, Matilda, acquired a crude grist mill on the west side of the Thomapple River (present-day Bridge Street area), an operation that had been converted in the late 1859’s from a sawmill owned by Charles Hanchett.

For 30 years the Lass family retained ownership of the operation, with Otto taking over when his father died in 1924. Otto was noted as a clever whittler, a talent he put to good use. “He was really handy with a jackknife,” recalls Phyllis Rizor who with her late husband, Ira James Rizor, bought the mill from Lass in 1946. When the Rizors acquired the mill, all the gears, drive shafts, and pulleys were of the original wood construction. “When teeth would break off, Otto would carve out replacements and a gear wheel to go on the drive shaft,” remembers Mrs. Rizor. “If a wooden pully would break, he would just carve outa new one.” Otto had several wooden cuckoo clocks from Ger­ many that he easily repaired whenever the wooden works malfunctioned. He simply whittled a new part. Otto was semi-retired when the Rizors Barry County Extension Service CALENDAR of EVENTS October 1 - Barry County MAEH Council, 1:30 p.m., Ex­ tension Office, Hastings.

Homecoming queen Susan Fox is escorted by her father during the coronation. Quarterback Jeff Meade tossed a nine yard scoring pass to Stan McClintock for the score capping a 66 yard drive in 9 plays. ‘.‘Meade was passing beautifully and mixing up his receivers,” observed varsity coach Dan Watson. Meade completed 16 of 21 passes for 210 yards and two touch­ downs. He also tossed a twopoint conversion pass to McClintock in the third. McClintock led M-V receivers with four recep­ tions for 57 yards, a TD and a two point conversion. Todd Gearhart caught five passes for 44 yards and a TD. Tony Joostberns snagged 3 for 47 yards and Don Fox caught 2 passes for 49 yards. “We were hot through the air,” Watson laughed. Maple Valley opened the second half with a scoring drive of 60 yards in 14 plays. Beebe ran it over from seven yards out. Maple Valley runners gained 123 yards on the ground on 36 attempts. Jeff Meade gained 74 in 14 carries. Chris Beebe gained 30 yards on nine attempts and scored the Lions’ second TD. Sophmore back Tom Brooke, just up from the JV squad, gained 25 yards in 10 attempts. The Maple Valley defense bent, but didn’t break as it gave up 174 yards on the ground and 42 through the air. Despite the yardage, Carson City seldom threatened and scored their last TD on the last playof the game. “They scored on our young players — we wanted to leave them in and get them some game ex, perience,” Watson said. Watson said Ms team was fired-up for Saturday’s game with Carson City. “We’ve met them at Homecoming for a couple of seasons now and it’s getting to be quite a rivalry,” he said. “Carson City came in expecting to win — they were two and one, we had three losses,” Watson continued, then said, “It was nice to shut them off. Local football fans provided plenty of vocal support for the Lions. “It was the parade through town that got us going — that was enough to fire anyone up,” Watson said.

It’s hard to win a basketball game when you only make 16 of 66 fieldgoals, hit 6 of 21 from the free throw line and can grab only 6 offensive rebounds and the Valley girls proved that last Monday night as they fell to Pewamo-Westphalia. 75-30 in the Pewamo gym. An aggressive Pewamo press forced 27 Valley turnovers which helped put the Lions away early in the game. The Lions got a good performance from juniors Dianna Marks, who was the leading Lion scorer with 8 points, and Lori Decker who had 8 rebounds. But that defeat didn’t damage the scrappy Valley confidence as they turned around on Tuesday night to take a big win over league rival Saranac 33-28. Though the score was low, there was no lack of action! The final Lion advantage came at the free throw line with the home team hitting an 11 of 21 from the charity stripe and the visiting Redskins making 6 of 22. Both teams made 11 field goals. Julie Barlow, Melissa Coffman, Diane Cook, Lori Decker and Joyce Warner started the game and took a 16-9 half-time lead. Though Valley never relinquished that lead, the Redskins never gave up and threatened several times. In the final quarter. Barlow, Coffman, Cdok, Decker and Kathy Christopher teamed up to put the Lions ahead by as many as 10 points before finally settling on the final 33-28 victory. Also seeing action for Valley were Kris Sample and Candace Mater. Julie Barlow led all scorers with 15. Kathy Christopher grabbed 14 rebounds, Diane Cook and Kris Sample each collected 11 and Lori Decker 10.

BUDGET CUT - State department directors have now completed their recommendations of specific cuts to comply with Governor Milliken’s order to cut $100 million overall due to expected revenue declines. Only education programs are exempt. LICENSE LAW - A new, stricter law for first-time drivers is now in effect. It provides a 3-year probationary period during which new drivers with “bad” records may be counseled and re-examined; the last 10 months must be free of violations. INSURANCE AGREEMENT - Segments of the insurance industry have agreed on legislation to set objective stan­ dards for availability and price of car and home insurance. The Supreme Court last year ordered such a change in our no-fault auto insurance law. This differs from prior proposals in allowing a greater variation in rates based on geographic areas of the state. COMP PACKAGE - A major proposal to improve the Michigan unemployment compensation system has been introduced under Republican sponsorship. HB 4974-75 would increase benefits to unemployed workers and eliminate benefits for those who voluntarily quit their jobs. Unem­ ployment benefits have not been increased since 1975, while inflation has gone up about 35 percent. TAX CLASSES - Some local units do not assess some property at the required 50 percent of true cash value, so that equalization creates higher rates for some property than others. HB 4013, now approved by the Senate, requires that property tax equalization be by class: agricultural, residential, developmental, commercial, industrial, and timber cutover. CHECK TAX - Still before the House Taxation com­ mittee is HB 4712, Which would put a 10-cent tax on every check and money order cashed in Michigan. To register your opinion on it, write the bill’s Democratic sponsor: Rep. George Montgomery, State Capitol, Lansing, MI 48909.1 am strongly opposed to this bill. POINT ORDER - The Hpuse will soon vote on SB 471, which would for the first time give points to drivers con­ victed of over-55-mph speeding violations. Now, points are not given for freeway speeds between 55 and 70; this would add 2 or more points to a driver’s record for that. VOTE AMENDMENT - A state constitutional amendment has been proposed in HJR “R” which would allow the public to vote on increases in the gasoline tax and license plate fees. This is in response to the Supreme Court ruling PROFESSIONAL recent that those items are not BUSINESS subjqpt to referendum.

As we will have to stand the expense of putting things back in order. Don’t forget your Village Council meet on the first Thursday of the month. A bit ago I mentioned in my column about a case of alleged animal cruelty against a Paul Grant of our village. As I was the in­ vestigator on behalf of the Eaton Co. Humane Society and the County of Eaton, I had vested interest in the case. Mr. Grant was found guilty on all charges and was denied right to have his animals, fined and paid costs in the amount of $150 dollars. These cases cost a great deal of money on the County’s part. I’m happy to know that we have humane thinking and acting persons in our Justice Dept. I’m letting you know the disposition of this case as a deterrent for any further action in our com­ munity. It is much less costly to go the Humane way in the first place. So check out your animals for food, water, shelter, tight collors, flea nits, every chance you get. Remember your animal can not speak for itself, and you are the responsible part. Thought - How empty is the life that filled only with things! When the outlook is bad, try the uplook.

Nashville, Wednesday October 3. 1979 — Page 12 Eaton County residents attend 4-H crafts workshop Two Eaton County adults will participate in the 4-H Crafts Leaders Workshop. Paula Johnson of Ver­ montville and Jan Tirrell, 4­ H Program Assistant, will join participants from around the state for the twoday workshop at Kettunen Center, the Michigan 4-H leadership training facility near Tustin. "The arts and - crafts project has the highest enrollment of all the state’s 4-H programs,” says Nancy Diuble, Extension 4-H Youth Agent. "Offering the workshop every year en­ sures that volunteer leaders can keep up with the youngsters enthusiasm. Both the kids and the leaders get a great deal of satisfaction out of making things them­ selves. After they learn a new craft, they can teach it to other 4-H’ers in local clubs.” To accommodate the anticipated high enrollment, two additional^ workshops, which features different craft areas, will be offered November 30 - December 1, 1979 and on February 22-23, 1980. The workshops are made possible by donations from various individuals, organizations, and businesses through the Michigan 4-H Foundation. For more information about the workshops or the 4­ H arts and crafts projects, contact the Eaton County Cooperative Extension Service office at 543-2310. Unusual sight sprouts up at Nashville Baptist Church — No one is talking about plans for the old-fashioned "necessary" (also known as an outhouse) temporarily situated north of the Baptist Church last week, but Assistant Pastor Don Roscoe says it has to do with a lot of "craziness" that will be part of the Nashville's church's October feud, based on the legendary Hatfield-McCoy confrontation, with the Lake Center Bible Church at Portage as each church tries to top the other in Sunday School attendance. At any rate, the Phillips Street "addition" added to the nostalgic feeling in the community during last weekend’s Harvest Festival.

Cook, County Extension Director All good farmers do most of their soil testing in the Fall. There is a good reason for this, actually there are several reasons. First of all most plans are being made right now for cropping programs for next year and in order to plan for a crop, the fertilizer needs have to be known, so soil testing is the first step in planning for a crop. With the cost of all inputs increasing continually a farmer needs to be able to purchase these inputs when they are the best buy and this is usually sometime during the winter. Again soil testing in the Fall will tell him what SAVE fertilizer he is going to need. Another major reason, one needs to soil test at least every three years is that with the increased use of nitrogen fertilizer and two excellent corn crops in a row, the fertility balance of our soils may change radically. Soil tests can be used to fortell future in­ balances resulting in low yields of crops. One of the reasons farmers do not test the soils in their fields regularly is the time and effort needed to get the samples. There is help in this area. Some of the elevator and fertilizer dealers do have soil sampling assistance. Check with your dealers.

Village details policy on acquiring easements Horii°ns tobe«” - Through 4-H our young people are exposed to new and exciting fields of interest. Projects arise in areas as diverse as aerospace and agribusiness, photography and engine repair, environmental protection and food and nutrition. By exploring the problems of our community and our nation, by calling into play hidden or undeveloped skills, our youths discover themselves and their special talents. They become familiar with the opportunities available to them and the challenges they face in the future. In compliance with the U.S. Uniform Relocation Assistance and Real Property Acquisition Policies Act of 1970. The Village of Nashville is in­ forming the general public and all parties of interest of the acquisition-policies to be used in conjunction with making appraisals and obtaining temporary con­ struction and permanent easements for the con­ struction of sewer lines under the Wastewater treatment facility plan. The plan involves pan nvoves upang updating thee wastewater treatment plant, adding thereto, and the renovation and construction of new sewer lines. All parties of interest from whom easements must be obtained will be notified by letter to that effect. Each party is given the op­ portunity of accompanying an appraiser while he is conducting his work to determine a fair market value of the easement. Every reasonable effort will bee mae w made too acqure acquire thee real property necessary to the project expeditiously and through negotiations, village officials said. Upon the completion of the apraisers work, his report is filed with the Village of Nashville. The report will be reviewed along with any notes of the owners com­ ments. and in the light of all available evidence an established amount of fair market value in the case of each property taking will be made. A “Statement of Just Compensation” will then be made identifying all real property and interest being acquired. Compensation is based upon the fair market value ofthe property, and is not less than the approved appraised value of the property It reflects any offsetting benefits to the remaining portion of the property. The property owner will then be contacted by a negotiation team of the Village which- will be provided with a copy of the “Statement of Just Com- pensation” and will be in­ formed of the basis upon which the fair market value of the taking was established. The owner then will be offered this amount. No owner will be required to surrender possession of any real property until he was either paid an agreed upon purchase price or the just compensation amount was deposited with the county circuit court, for the benefit of the property owner. Village officials said. All expenses in connection with the transfer oftitle from the owner to the Village will include recording fees and similar expenses.

Meade, Sr., a Nashville native now of Jackson, was in town during the Harvest Festival to emcee Friday night’s talent show and the crowning of the 1979 Harvest Queen. During a conversation with him,'he furnished us with the text used by Donald D. O’Dowd, President of Oakland University, in conferring a recent honorary degree on Mead’s father, Kenneth A. Meade of Franklin (a hometown boy and 1921 Nashville High graduate who, in 1925, received a degere from Michigan State Normal College (now EMU) at Ypsilanti and later did graduate work at University of Michigan, receiving an M.S. in 1929.) We thought readers who remember Mr. Meade would enjoy the following excerpt. “Professor Kenneth A. Meade, your first career began in 1925 with the teaching of physics at Central High School in Kalamazoo. After service on the faculties of General Motors Institue and Lawrence Institute of Technology, you returned to General Motors where you served for many years as manager of educational relations. In 1967, you came to Oakland University to develop a series of special programs for the Division of Continuing Education. Our School of Engineering then claimed you. In engineering, you built an elegant teaching laboratory in statics and dymanics as an aid in the teaching of engineering mechanics. You quickly became a friend and trusted counselor of our engineering students. In addition, you continued to serve the larger community in such roles as member of the Board of Governors of the Cranbrook Institute of Science and Vice­ President and Secretary of the Thomas Alva Edison Foundation. Your two careers have been marked by your informed and sensitive work as teacher-counselor. On behalf of your colleagues in engineering and most especially those Oakland students who will never forget Ken Meade, it is my pleasure to confer on you the degree ofDoctor Science, Honoris Causa.” A recent appeal in this column for up-to-date technological books for Putnam Library prompted Dan Sellers of Nash­ ville to donate two automotive repair books, reports Librarian La Duska Sheldon. The gift is very much ap­ preciated. Other books are still being sought in the elec­ tronics field. Assistant librarian Jane Shoup is much improved in health and was able to return to her work at Putnam Library last week. She will be handling Tuesday morning duties at the library, a post she had to temporarily leave in early summer due to ill health. Nice to have her back. Carpeting was recently installed in two upper rooms at Putnam Library. Both are currently undergoing extensive renovation; one as a memorial to John and Catherine Beedle and the second, smaller room, as a display area to house the library’s rare book collection. Woodwork in both rooms is currently being rejuvenated by Julie Ann Sheldon. Friends of the Library members papered the smaller room. Dale Ann Morawski painted the ceiling and its ornate carved plaster moulding in the Beedle room. Next Tuesday several Friends of the Library have volunteered to carry books and materials back into the restored rooms. The recent Friends of the Library book sale, staged at the library during Nashville’s 1979 Harvest Festival celebration, was rated a huge success. Proceeds will help the FOL purchase a movie projector for in-library use. Sixty-six property owners whose consent is needed for temporary or permanent construction easements for Nash­ ville’s new sewer projects are to be invited by letter to at­ tend one of two scheduled October 20th meetings at Castleton Township Hall. Village officials, who met last __ Thursday with Jack Beuche of William and Works, engineers,will be present to explain the procedure of easement acquisition with property owners. Mrs. Elsie Ramsey of rural Nashville was in Hastings Saturday to attend the wedding of Sue Czinder, of that city, to Michael Jacobs of Dowling. The;ceremony took place at St. Rose Catholic Church. Mrs. Ramsey also attended a 5 p.m. wedding reception at the Hastings Country Club. More “Memories'’ on Capt. Sherman Fowler, who headed the Knights of Pythias Uniformed Drill Team at Nashville’s 1908 Harvest Festival: He was an uncle to Mrs. Clarency (Bunny Mead) Shaw of Nashville. She has a fine photo portrait of Capt. Fowler and his father, Charles, standing together. She also has a picture of Sherman’s mother. The K. of P; drill team, commanded by Fowler, became quite renowned and about 1906 made a train trip to the west coast for a California performance. Perhaps we will be able to use the photo of Capt. Fowler in some future “Memories” story.» The Woman’s Literary Club will meet next Wednesday, October 17th, for a 1:00 p.m. potluck dinner at Charlton Park. Meat, rolls and beverage will be furnished; members are asked to bring a dish to pass. Co-hostesses for the event are Barb Sandbrook and Alice McMillen, following the dinner, the club will tour the facilities at Charlton Park Museum and Historical Village. The October 10th meeting of the Nashville Chamber of Commerce will be held at the Steakhouse Restaurant. Mary Hecker is in charge of reservations for the 7 p.m. event. President Charles Andrus, Jr., is expected to report on a recent Advisory Committee meeting with officials of the new Kent-Barry-Eaton Connecting Railroad. Women of the Nashville United Methodist Church will be “taking over” Sunday, October 14. They will conduct the entire Sunday morning worship service. A 12:15 p.m. dinner for the congregation will follow in the Community House. An offering, to be taken after the meal, is earmarked to aid United Methodist ethnic-minority churches throughout the world. Recent callers on Mrs. Elizabeth Curtis of Nashville were her two brothers and their wives: Mr. and Mrs. Frank Klont and Mrs. and Mrs. Marienuis Klont, all of Potterville. Ten young Nashville cyclists recently pedaled an amazing number of miles on their bikes to raise funds for St. Judes Children’s Research Hospital in Memphis. When the final tally of the September 15th Bike-A-Thon was tabulated, the local kids had earned an incrediable amount of $881.16 for the hospital. Sponsors, lined up in advance by the children, pledged a set amount for each mile pedaled by the youngster. Those participating in the event, and the miles each completed are: Steve Smith, 27 miles; Lori Smith, 25; Steve Martin, 23; Amy Martin, 7; Jennifer Thorton, 16; Becky Coikwell, 2; Brandi Thornton, 2; Lisa Corkwell, 16; Shannon Smith, 20; and Greg Godbey, 21. It is interesting to note that two of the youngsters entered in the Bike-A-Thon were only 3 years old and yet each completed two miles on the track at the Fuller Street school. (The little ones were Becky Corkwell and Brandi Thornton). The 3-year-61ds rode “hot wheels” instead of full-scale bikes. Some of the kids spent five straight hours circling the track, which is cer­ tainly a lesson in dedication far adults. Each child received a prize donated by various local merchants; seven who earned $75 or more received a backpack from entertainer Danny Thomas; and eight who earned $25 or more received a T-shirts from the star. But their best reward will be knowing they have helped others. St. Judes Hospital, founded in 1962 by Danny Thomas, is dedicated to combating catastrophic childhood diseases. It is non-sectarian, nondiScriminatory and completely free of charge to all patients. Chairing the local event was Dennis Smith, aided by his wife Vicki. The Nashville Lions Club will meet for dinner at 7 p.m. Monday, October 15, at St Cyril Community Hall. Mary Bills of Nashville will furnish the entertainment. A surprise visit by two school chums whom he had not seen in 40 years recently brightened the day for M. Dewey Castelein, Jr. ofNashville. The two callers, James Simmons and Donald Montgomery, both of Wayne, dropped by the Castelein home unexpectedly after receiving word that Dewey had recently been ill. He and the two visitors had grown up together in the same Wayne neighborhood. Their arrival in Nashville was Friday of the Harvest Festival. Saturday guests of Mr. and Mrs. Castelein were daughter and granddaughter, Mrs. Mildred Gould and Kelly of Saginaw; and daughter and son-in-law, Janet and Don Hoekstra of Grand Rapids. Bill and Eva Hampton of Nashville hosted a Friday evening farewell picnic at their Thornapple Lake residence recently for neighboring cottage owners on the lake’s south side.

Two folding bikes, furnished by Carl’s Market, and a large rug, hand-hooked by Lawrence Annis of Nashville, were raffled. Winning tickets were drawn at Saturday’s “Harvest of Hits” dance at the Nashville Fire Barn. Lois Barton won the rug; Lois Ackett won a bicycle. The other bike was wod by Richard Kohfeldt. All are of Nashville. An unknown young lad, standing with the Appleman Store employees pictured in a recent “Memories” story, has been identified. We had only sketchy information listing the boy’s possible last name, but no given name. Mrs. Lloyd Wilcox of Nashville is* quite sure he is the late Earl Weaks. She said Earl had a very distinctive stance which she immediately recognized in the 1915 photo. Dorothy Edmonds of Nashville returned home last week after recent eye surgery at Burns Clinic in Petoskey. She had recuperated several weeks at the home of her nephew, Max Hosmer of Charlevoix. Dorothy is recovering very well. Mrs. Esta Day of Nashville recently enjoyed dinner out at the historic Stagecoach Inn at Richland, near Gull Lake. She accompanied a group which included the Carl Tobias family of Nashville; Mrs. Clarie Tobias and daughter Gertrude, also of Nashville. Several Hastings folks were also in the party. Following the dinner the group drove to the Bradley Indian Reservation to deliver a box from the Peace United Methodist Church of Barryville. Talented craftsmanship of Mennonites at Goshen, Indiana was enjoyed by Mr. and Mrs. Lawrence Friddle of Lacey who recently spent four days there at the Mennonite Christian Committee. The gathering is a fund-raising event, with the auctioning ofgoods hand-crafted by members of the sect. Proceeds of the sale go to support the church. The Friddles saw beautiful handmade quilts and afghans auc­ tioned for large sums, and enjoyed watching homespun arts, such as the making of apple butter, at the event. Joining the Lawrence Friddles for two days of the gathering were Paul and Jeanette Friddle of Nashville. Thursday visitors at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Vern Hawblitz were Mr. and Mrs. Erwin Bruce of Battle Creek. Larry, a hometown boy in 1955 Nashville High graduate, was in town for the Harvest Festival-Homecoming celebration and participated in the 10,000 meter Harvest Run Saturday morning.

To house the new operation, the stockholders purchased the former W. E. Shields woodworking shop on Church Street. (In very early years, the building had been the Powles woolen mill and it still stands today, directly behind the Azor Leedy home). Cream for the making of butter was brought to the newly-organized plant by haulers working six days a week to cover three routes each, making twice-weekly stops at participating farms. Trucks were used to make the runs in the summer months; teams and wagons in the winter. “One of my routes was 43 miles long,” recalls Otto Dahm who worked two years as a hauler in the early 1920’s. “We couldn’t draw that distance in one day with a team, so it took two days to cover it in the winter.” On the second stop of the week, haulers would deliver to the farmers any butter they had ordered and return clean Percy Penfold, shown in 1918 with his wife-to-be cans.

He took over the route from his father-in-law, George Rit­ chie. “It was a cold, wet job in bad weather,” he recalls, Driving a team and wagon, the haulers were afforded no protection from the elements. The horses generally plowed their own way into remote farms isolated by severe winter weather. “I made 25 cents a mile for drawing cream,” recalls Dahm. Wilcox did not recollect what his per-mile pay rate was in the 1920’s, but said by the 1930’s haulers were being paid by the butterfat content fo the cream they delivered. This was done to counter com­ petition from milk haulers who were beginning to make regular farm runs for collection of whole milk. Some farmers preferred to sell to them, rather than go through the bother of cream separation. Butterfat content of the cream also determined how much each farmer would receive for his cream sold to the cooperative. A sample Curtis W.

Pennock became a longtime manager of the creamery which was also staffed with a tester, but­ termaker, bookkeeper and other workers for such tasks as emptying and washing cream cans and packaging the finished product. Ap­ parently an occasional ex­ cursion through a com­ petitor’s operation helped the prize-winning local crew stay on top. “Employees of the Nash­ ville crean^ery visited creameries at Litchfield and Homer Tuesday/* noted the News in early November 1924. “Making the trip were Misses Mary Pennock, Velma Brumm, Dorothy Mason and Ruth Shafer; and Percy Penfold, George Parrott, Harry Hinckley and Harry Green.” While forking in the Nashville creamery as ‘‘boss but­ termaker,” Penfold had discovered how to eliminate a problem in the process. “The salt would always work to the outside of the butter and form crystals,” explains Nashville native Wayne Fuller, now of Toledo. “Percy ex­ perimented and found that if the salt was dampened before being added to the butter it would stay dissolved in the butter and not work out.” Penfold later moved to East Jordan and managed a creamery there for 30 years. Now deceased, his son Alston is carrying on the family tradition as a present-day creamery manager at Jessup, Iowa. In 1929 the Farmers’ Cooperative moved their operation to Sherman Street, locating in the same building that once housed their 1902 forerunner - the Nashville Creamer. by the 1930’s the cooperative was also processing dried milk and cheese for market, as well as butter, and the organization continued to prosper. A 1940 fire heavily damaged the Sherman Street plant but the creamery, maintained operation until a new facility could be built on South Main Street (present-day R. & F. Industries! and opened for business in 1942. The Farmers’ Cooperative Creamery had another 10 years of life before changing times, and the increasing popularity of oleo margarine, brought about its’ demise in October 1952. A foreshadow of things to come was noted at what was to be the last annual meeting of stockholders the preseeding march. Discussed were the dairy farm manpower shortage and laws —governing manufacturing, sale and advertising of dairy product substitutes.' But there is no substitute for the many happy memories surrounding the creamery’s 38 years of operation. Action Ads WANTED: Military rifles and pistols.

Lion girls drop two — The varsity basketball team lost two important games last -week when league rivals Lakeview and Portland both posted vic­ tories over the Lions. Lakeview came to JValley on Tuesday and had all they could handle in the first half of play. Though the visiting Wildcats took a 16-12 first quarter advantage, the Lions outscored their opponents in the second quarter 19-15 to make the half-time score 3131. But the Lions super defense of ’the first half became the Wildcats’ in the third quarter. The visitors seized every opportunity to score from the tip-off of the last half and blitzed the Lions 26-4 in the third quarter. Valley turnovers became Wildcat layups as the Lions offense sputtered. The final score put Lakeview on top 7545. 45. Julie Barlow was high point getter with 12. Tuesday Aspinall netted 9 points and Lori Decker 8. Kathy Christopher grabbed 12 rebounds and Lori Decker 8 for Valley.. Wildcat Pat Doll scored 19 points and Karmen Kartes tallied 18 with 14 of those points coming in the third quarter. The Valley squad traveled to Portland on Thursday to take on a tall Red Raider squad. The game was never really in question as Carol Tichvon and 6’ Kate Doherty of Portland dominated board play. The final score was 6336 in favor of Portland. Though short on rebounds, the Valley girls were never short on hustle and continued to battle until the final buzzer. Their aggressive defense kept the host Raiders on their toes and working hard. High scorer for both squads wa~S Gayle Hoffman of Portland a 10 point per game average player who was deadly from the outside and put 26 points on the board for the Raiders. Julie Barlow scored 17 points for Valley. The two losses put Valley at 3-5 for the season overall.

In fact, plowing with a SAME is a pleasure and, when fitting ground, the large front tires help take the jar out of the ride by floating across the rough ground.

October 10, 1979 — Page 14 Old-time general store opens in Nashville Billed as “the most unusual country store in the mid-west,’’ the' new Thor- napple General Store in Nashville is like a scene recreated from the past A wonderful array of old-fashioned type candies are for sale and are displayed in beautiful glass con­ tainers, collected by the Dimmers. Customers flocked into the new old-time store during its recent grand-opening and were greeted with the aroma of hot peanuts roasting in 'a turn-of-the century roaster which had been used for years and years at the Hillsdale County Fair. Storekeeper of the new venture is Carolyn Dimmers of Hastings. The business is actually a project of the whole family including husband David and daughters Martha and Julie. Accenting the items for sale are many lovely antiques the Dimmers have collected over the years — an old-time scale, pot-bellied stove, old-fashioned curved glass cases, counters, and many others. Carolyn has tastefully stocked the store with many unusual items which fit in perfectly with the country store atmosphere such as ornaments unique of Christmases past, charming calicos, Kentucky hills pottery, handmade crafts, wooden toys, Nashville Maple Syrup, and oldfashioned wooden utensils and toys, baskets, clever motif wrapping paper, delightful cards and notes, jewelry, “tantalizing tin containers,” “pleasingly puckery pickles,” cheese by the round, and crackers by the handful. Of the pottery, the owners say, “it took a great deal of searching to find pottery that is just right for an oldfashioned store. But we finnally located it way out in the hill country of Kentucky. The potter doesn’t ship out so we loaded all we could into our station wagon and brought it back to please our good customers.” They also say, “the old wooden rake factory still makes rakes and other utensils the same as it did 100 years ago. The resulting products are beautiful in their simplicity and just right for utilitarian purposes or for display in your home.” The store is located at 201 N. Main Street and is open Wednesday and Friday from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. and on Saturday from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. It will be closed December 30 to March 19, 1980. “Thanks Storekeeper Carolyn Dimmers (left) of Nashville's new Thornapple General Store gets ready to put the lid on a fancy old-fashioned tin full of candy she trimmed with paper lace doilies.

Mrs. Chapell and Mrs. Underwood pause for a momentto play a game of checkers near the old pot-bellied stove - just like a scene from the general store of yesteryear. It has been nearly three weeks since our fire, and we would like to thank our community for their help in getting us back on our feet, again. Without the help, concern, and presence of all who were there, we might have sold our cows and given up. We still find it hard to believe that so many people showed up to help us and stayed With us for so long. People we have lived with for years, and others we did noteven know, donated time, man-power, trucks, tractors, feed, tools of all sorts - even a bulk tank to get us through. We would like to thank those who helped save our cows, those who brought food throughout the week, and those who helped clean up that which had been destroyed. No one can know the good feeling we had when a shiny new roof went up over our milk house twenty-four hours after the barns went down, with hay bales from the barn still burning behind it. The cooperation of all who were there was tremendous. We want to give special thanks to our volunteer fire department for saving our house and surrounding buildings, and for helping us keep our herd watered that night. And we feel a special kinship with our three herdsmen and their families who stuck with us for so many sleepless days and nights in order to keep the stock content and to save the remainder of our milking herd. Thank you all. Now we know how good a community can be.

October 10. 1979 — Page 15 U-M says well-rounded education is best for college prep The director of un­ dergraduate admissions at The University of Michigan says a well-rounded high school education featuring a core of courses in five traditional areas - English, foreign languages, mathematics, science, and social science - constitutes the best preparation for students bound for study at the U-M. In a “letter of support” to superintendents and high school principals around the state, Clifford F. Sjogren said that, while some students are eager to em­ phasize career oriented subjects in high schqpL continued emphasis on the traditional college preparation courses will offer them greatest options in choosing a college program of study. “High school students are faced with important and difficult decisions about their future educational and career plans,” wrote Sjogren in the letter, mailed this week. “Those decisions will generally be easier to make if students have a wide variety of educational op­ tions available to them. A well balanced, rigorous high school academic curriculum, successfully completed, will provide a student with the preparation needed for virtually any post-secondary educational program.” Sjogren noted that, in the past, “most students en­ tering the U-M have com­ pleted demanding secondary school programs that have included course work in each of the five major academic disciplines. As a result, the options available to them Wildlife Chef” teaches game recipies Between now and late numbering thousands of May, when the wild turkey copies, with proceeds going season ends in Michigan, this to MUCC’s conservation and state’s hunters will bring education programs.

Of course, further study in music and art requires additional preparation.” Specifically, the U-M admissions director suggested that high school students carry four academic courses each term selected from English, foreign language, mathematics, science and social science, with two remaining periods available for “elective courses1’ in other academic or non­ academic areas. Sjogren noted that the current letter to high school principals follows a “letter of concern” sent in 1977 emphasizing the heed for improved student writing skills, along with continued foreign language training and diversity in high school subjects. A number of programs have been put into effect at U-M to improve student writing skills.

The English Composition Board of the U-M*s college of Literature, Science, and the Arts has also been con­ ducting conferences for educators throughout Michigan and northern Ohio to strengthen the teaching of English composition. In this week’s letter, admissions director Sjogren noted that a brochure, “Admission of Freshmen, 1980,” which is sent to all freshman applicants to the U-M, lists suggested 9th through 12th grade subject patterns for students planning to study in such areas as literature, science and . the arts, engineering, nursing, natural resources, music, education, art, and dental hygiene.

Railroad plans special ‘traveling’ open house At a dinner meeting at the Steak House Restaurant last Wednesday evening; the Nashville Chamber , of Commerce learned that the new Kent-Barry-Eaton Connecting Railroad plans a traveling open house Oc­ tober 27, with a tentative 3 p.m. arrival in Nashville. Chamber president Charles Andrus, Jr., said Wednesday that he had recently met with K-B-E officials; Jim Gordon, Barry County Commissioner from Thornapple Township; and Sylvia Dulaney, Barry County Grants Coordinator. Andrus reported that arrangements call for the open house train to leave the company’s home office at Dutton- and make hour-long stops at each community along the route. “It is good, .what the railroad is trying to do,” commented Andrus. “They are trying to get back on a one-to-one level with local communities so we can better utilize the railroad.” Andrus said that planned stops by the train will allow local citizens to tour the cars, which should be of special interest to youngsters as well as adults. Free refreshments will be offered, and those present may register for a future drawing for a free ride on the railroad. Expected to ac­ company the winners are local government officials from each town along the route. Calvin Sheldon, president of the K-B-E line, is •currently in Washington, D. C., Andrus said, to secure information on the acquisition and cost of operating a beeliner. “Sheldon is very op­ timistic about what he can do to improve rail service,'” noted Andrus; The railroad will attempt to offer 5-day per week service, and has set up an advisory committee com­ prised of shippers and prospective customers along the route, Andrus reported. He also disclosed that the railroad will establish a tool shed in Nashville, staffed by two K-B-E employees, to keep the rail lines between this village and Vermontville in repair.

What could be more ap­ propriate than a fire drill during Fire Prevention Week? Later that day, when the drill alarm sounded at Kellogg School Friday af­ ternoon, students poured out of the building and found the community’s brand new fire truck on display near the front entrance. They are shown gathered around the pumper-tanker as John Mason explains the equipment, describes the training fjrefighters must undergo, and talks about -the role of the department in Castleton and Maple Grove Townships and Nashville. Nashville to seek partial release of sewer funds to acquire parcels of land Nashville officials will apply to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency for early release of partial grant funds to aquire three parcels of property for the village’s propsed new wastewater treatment facility, it was disclosed at Thursday’s meeting of the village council. Sought will be 80 percent of a total of $171,875 purchase price for approximately 160 acres, plus a property ap­ praisal fee. The funds sought are part ofapproximately $3.5 million offered through state and federal grants for the village’s $4.8 sewer im­ provement project, ap­ proved by Nashville voters in September. Land being acquired for a new lagoonand-irrigation type treat­ ment facility lies northwest of the village on Brumm Road. At Thursday’s meeting, village officials revealed the purchase price recently negotiated with owners of three properties being acquired for the project. John J. and Montielle Dull of Nashville will receive $65,000 for approximately 80 acres of vacant land; William and Janice Roberts will receive $68,000 for ap­ proximately 40 acres in­ cluding their home and outbuildings; and Kathy Luke of Alma will receive $38,875 for approximately 40 acres of land, reserving the right to remove all trees from the property prior to the start of construction. All are purchased in compliance with the U.S. Uniform Relocation Assistance and Real Property Acquisition Policies Act of 1970. In other business, the council heard trustee Lonny Kienutske report on a police committee investigation which exonerated a Nash­ ville police officer from criticism that he had not promptly responded to a recent assault and battery complaint.

Perhaps there is some such moral behind a story about the Riverside Recreational Development Corp, and a shipment of commemorative T-shirts. The garments had been ordered for entrants in Nashville’s recent Harvest Run but did not arrive in time for the festival. The RRDC, sponsors of the celebration, had intended to hand all par­ ticipants in the race a T-shirt at the time of their registration for the 6.2 mile run Saturday. Ordered from a Rockford, Michigan supplier, the shirts would have been in the village on time if the delivery company had not mis-routed said merchandise to Nashville, Tennessee. After that blunder, the error was compounded when the shirts were sent to Nashville, Indiana. When the parcel finally arrived at Nash­ ville, Michigan, the 10,000 meter Harvest Run was past history. At a recent gathering of the RRDC and festival volunteers, 100 runner registration forms were matched with T-shirts of specified size and said garments stuffed into individual mailing envelopes, hand-addressed by the group. Despite the delay, 91 men and 8 women, and one entrant who registered but did not run, will receive T-shirts bearing the inscription “10,000 k Harvest Run, Nashville, Michigan.” If only the delivery folks had noted that final word. They, it is reported, will stand some of the postage expense incurred by the RRDC in making good their promise to the runners. Winning the 1979 Harvest Run was 30-year-old Duane Spitz who finished first in his age group and first overall, with a time of 31 minutes, 54 seconds. The route, starting at Put­ nam Park, ran from Brumm Road to Price; north to Thornapple Lake Road, across M-66 to Hagar Road, curving into Kellogg Street and terminating at Putnam Park. Incidentally, the Harvest Run, chaired by Tom Oleson with the aid of Pastor Don Roscoe of Nashville, drew en­ trants from diverse age groups and areas. The oldest runner was a 57-year-old East Lansing man. The youngest were three 13-year-olds; two boys and a girl.

Richard and Lois Elliston will be celebrating their 25th wedding anniversary with an open house Sunday, October 21, at their home on Francis St. The3 to 5 p.m. event is being hosted by their three children. Mrs. Elliston is the former Lois Phillips. She is currently serving as Nashville village treasurer and has been a former member of Nashville’s village council, and is also very active in other community activities including the Riverside Recreational Develop­ ment Corp. Richard, ar\ employee of Kelloggs of Battle Creek, was inducted into that company’s 25-year club last May. The couple were married October 24,1954 at Hastings. Nashville’s Main Street will be brightened this Yuletide with four new lamp post decorations recently purchased by the local Chamber of Commerce from their special Christmas street decoration fund. To continue their on-going project to update the village’s holiday decor, merchants will have canisters in December to collect public donations from those who wish to help the Chamber in this effort. Twenty years ago, in 1959, Nashville received it’s first foreign exchange student under the newly-organized Youth for Understanding program. He was Bernd Riberi of Stolberg, Germany. Bernd spent a year here, staying with the late Gale Keihl and his wife Alice. Bernd graduated with Nashville’s Class of 1959, then returned to Germany to continue his education. Now a chemical engineer with a PH­ D degree, Bernd and his wife will fulfill a longtime dream to return to America and, especially, Nashville. They will arrive at the Keihl home Saturday, October 20. Mrs. Keihl hopes that Bernd, who now lives at Cologne, Germany, will be able to meet with many of his former friends while here, and perhaps some current exchange students. Mrs. Larry (June) Decker ofNashville was hospitalized at Pennock last Monday suffering with a combination of asth­ ma and allergy, plus a touch of the flu. Because of the nature of her illness, she was not allowed to have flowers that were sent her in the room. At this writing, it is not known how much longer she must be confined. Still in intensive care at Pennock Hospital is Mrs. Willard (Goldie) Helsel who was rushed there by Nashville am­ bulance after suffering an attack at her home October 11. She had suffered both a heart attack and stroke, and has since had a subsequent stroke. At this writing it is not known how long she will be hospitalized. Mrs. Ronald (Cynthia) Dean of Nashville, who underwent surgery last Tuesday for removal of a lung, is doing well at Blodgett Hospital in Grand Rapids. Bill and Mary Hecker of Nashville hosted a Tuesday evening party at their home for members of the Riverside 'Recreational Development Corp, and volunteers who had worked on Nashville’s recent Harvest Festival. Sallye McLean, head of the RRDC, was co-hostess for the gathering. She thanked all those attending for the work they had done in making the 1979 celebration such an outstanding success. Dick Chaffee, treasurer of the RRDC, reported that the festival grossed nearly $4,400. After expenses of ad­ vertising, contest prizes, parade entries, dance en­ tertainment, etc., are paid, the group should net over $2,000 for their community recreational park project. Present at Tuesday’s event, in addition to Mrs. McLean and Dick and Marilyn Chaffee were: Lois Elliston, Lorna Wilson, Dewey Dull, Delores Marshall, Nancy Johncock, Tom and Beverly Oleson, Denny and Janice Lamie, Dave and Brinda Hawkins, Larry and Suzy Corkwell, and Mary Bills and Ray and Sue Hinckley. Mrs. Marion Dawson Elliston, a former Nashville resident now of Delton, will be celebrating her 70th birthday on October 28. Her daughter, Mrs. Joyce Baker of Delton, hopes Marion’s local friends will remember her with a card as Marion misses seeing Nashville folks. She lived for 35 years at 225 State Street before moving to Delton three years ago to be nearer her daughter and family.

He is welcomed home by his brother, Riley. Proud grandparents are Thelma and Lee Christopher of Nashville. Mr. and Mrs. Adolph Douse, Jr. of Nashville enjoyed an overnight visit last Tuesday with their son Steve, who flew to Michigan on business from his home in Washington, D. C. That city received several inches of snow while Steve was here. Last winter, when he flew to Florida to visit his parents at their home, he was similarly surprised - being “snowed out” when it came time to return to the capital city; Steve is employed by the U.S. Government as an attorney with the Anti-Trust Division of the Justice Dept. The Nashville ambulance was summoned to the Leonard Joppie residence on Lentz Street last Wednesday evening when a young man fell from a ladder while working on the roof of the house. Taken to Community Hospital was Bill Quick of Maple Grove. He is reported to have no serious injuries but was hospitalized for observation. He had been helping the Joppie’s son-in-law on the roof when the accident happened. Mr. and Mrs. Joppie returned home from vacation about an hour after the mishap, which added a blow to an already-dismal perch fishing expedition to Drummond Island. They went north Saturday, intending to stay a week, but came home early when they were snowed out. Accompanied by their son Steven, the Joppies arrived in rain which followed a beautiful Saturday morning. Mixed with snow, the precipitation did not let up for several days, so the Joppies gave up and returned to Nashville. A trip to Indiana for the Shipshewana flea market was enjoyed last Monday by several local ladies. Traveling down in the motor home of Mr. and Mrs. Carl Bahsfor a shopping spree, browsing and an antiques tour were Louise Bahs, Lois Elliston, Janet Gardner and Jean Welker, all of Nashville, and Norma Hummel of Vermontville. A recent Friday evening birthday party at the home of Larry and Suzy Corkwell ofNashville honored Sharon Beech of Sunfield and Mrs. Alyce Hosmer of Nashville.

Present in addition to Alyce’s husband, Bob, were Mrs. Gloria Johncock; Pastor and Mrs. Don Roscoe and children, Amy and Brent, and their friend, Kim Tutt; Vivian and Don Conner and daughter, Amanda; all of Nashville, and The funeral is a rite of separation. It confirms the reality of death. This, psychiatrists say, is a necessary beginning toward healthy adjust­ ment to loss. There are some who want to deny that a person has died ond their life on earth has ended. Viewing the body serves to reverse the denial and promotes acceptance of the death of the loved one.

The baby’s parents are former Nashville residents, Suzanne and David Ramsey, both former teachers in the Maple Valley system. Kenneth A. Meade, a Nashville native now of Franklin, wrote recently to comment on several “Memories” published these past few weeks. He had some very fascinating remembrances to share about several subjects. About the early Harvest Festivals, he recalled, “The balloon ascensions were always interesting. Out in the country we could sometimes see the balloonist make his parachute drop and then the balloon would turn upside down, the black smoke would come out and the balloon would land somewhere.” (The Meades lived northwest of town on Eaton Road.) “I always wondered how the owners knew where to look for the balloon so it could be readied for the next ascension,” he added. Meade also reminisced about the sounds ofthe early festivals; how he enjoyed the melodies of the organ on the merry-go-round set up on West Washington Street, and the music of the band leading the parade. On the Appelman Store feature, Kenneth A. Meade wrote: “I particularly enjoyed the photograph showing the interior of the store and could almost smell the coffee from the coffee grinder, mixed with the smell of spices.” He noted that at the Kraft store, on the other side of the street, shoes were also sold, so the odor of leather was mixed in with the usual grocery store smells. About the old Grist Mill (later Nashville Roller Mills) Meade recalled going to the mill with his dad to get feed ground or to sell wheat, when the Kysers owned it. “Mrs. Kyser would give us home-baked doughnuts she had just made at her home across the street,” he wrote. “She usually worked right along with Mr. Kyser in the mill.” Meade also remembered later-owner, Otto Lass as “a very interesting person.” Lass was active in the Nashville Masonic Lodge when Meade took his degree there in 1926 and many .years thereafter, Kenneth A. Meade also wrote about his recent meeting of actor Lew Ayers, when both received honorary degrees in September at Oakland University. Meade found Ayers a very interesting person, who suffered a great deal because of being a conscientious objector in World War II and because of Ayers’ continuing anti-war stand. Meade had lunch with the actor and a small group of Oakland faculty members who were interested in discussing a course in comparison of religions which Ayers has been teaching. Of course, Meade was thrilled at receiving an honorary degree from the university. After the graduation ceremonies, a reception and dinner was held for those honored and members of their families. Mrs. Meade, and three sons of Kenneth were able to attend, making it a very memorable day for all. George Williams of Nashville was injured while cutting wood on his father’s property south of town Tuesday evening. He was taken to Pennock Hospital by Nashville ambulance for treatment of a leg injury sustained when he was pinned under a felled limb. He was treated at the hospital and released. Orla Belson of Nashville fell at his home Wednesday morning, and was transported to Pennock Hospital by the Nashville ambulance. He is hospitalized at the time orthis report, but reportedly suffered no fractures in the incident.

Wednesday, October 17, 1979 — Page 4 Memories of the past By Susan Hinckley temperance movement that succeeded in putting three local saloonkeepers out of business, nearly a dozen years before national prohibition. “Local option, disenfranchisement of the pool rooms, a curfew ordinance in contemplation, a spitting ordinance,” expounded the Nashville News in an editorial stand. “Say what’s 1908 was an unusual year in the Nashville business community. While many Main Street enterprises thrived and expanded, others met extinction at the hands of social pressure exerted through a unique political maneuver known as “local option”. Probably no other issue was more widely debated in the community that year than a countywide the matter of getting a big tent, putting it over the town and calling it a tabernacle.” That would have required some huge canopy, for in 1908 Nashville was literally growing by leaps and bounds. Two major buildings, the Nashville Club and the Hurd Block, were under construction that year. (The first is the Gribben Block, Business flourished on Nashville's Main Street-in 1908, except for three local saloons closed in a countywide temperance movement. From extreme left is: Wolcott & Son harness makers; Cap Sprague s barbershop; Wenger Bros, meat market; O. G. Munroe's Star clothing store, advertising shoes, hats and furnishings on its facade;-Henry G. Glasner's dry goods; arid Harry Hales drug store. Visible behind utility pole is the building that was Barker s Bakery for many years. Next is Charley Brown's drug store, advertising wallpaper (in present-day bank location); and Von W. Furniss' drugstore (present-day Simon Pharmacy) at right). The Star and Glasner's form the present-day Kelley s Variety Store.

Ten years later the building housed a restaurant, adjacent to Joe Hurd's Ford garage, right. Visible at left is the home of Dr. E. T. Morris. On a sidewalk signboard, H. A. Goodrich offers cash for cream, eggs and poultry. The structure was razed in 1957 to build Fargo Service Station.

C. Hurd is getting ready to commence the construction of his building on the corner of Main and Maple Streets,” the News informed readers in Sep­ tember 1908. “At the last meeting of the council, Hurd was granted use of the streets to pile material on. The building will be two stories high and will be built of cement blocks?’' Erstwhile photographer, bicycle repairman and auto mechanic, Hurd in 1910 established one of the earliest Ford sales agencies in this part of Michigan. (He chose a South Main Street location for that enterprise and leased the Hurd Block for the other business ven­ tures. T Competitive prices drew shoppers to Nashville’s Main Street in 1908. At O. M.

Beardslee, a great athlete himself, almost made it to the parent club in the Yankee organization before a back injury halted a promising career. Beardslee began playing organized baseball with thet Vermontville Merchants at the age of 15. “That little team was one of the best I ever played on,” Beardsley said. Vermontville had no high school team at that time. “We played teams from big cities all over the southern part of the state — and beat them,” Beardslee said. High school officials organized a team in 1947. A local auto mechanic volunteered to coach. “I was used to pitching to mature ballplayers by that time,” Beardslee commented. He showed his own maturity by setting national high school records that still stand. \Beardslee pitched eight no-Jiitters, struck out 452 batters in 29 games, or 19 of every 21 batters faced. Beardslee pitched his first game for the Merchants against VanderCook Lake, just outside Jackson. “We were beaten three to two,” Beardslee said, “But I went the - whole nine innings.” Looking back, Beardslee said that game was perhaps the most important he ever pitched. “I was just a kid — I don’t know hoW I did it, but it gave me confidence I never lost,” he said. Beardslee was a sophmore when Vermontville High’s first team was organized. “We didn’t have a single kid who’d played organized ball except me with the Mechants, but we won 12 straight,” he commented. Middleville had a great team that year. They met Vermontville for the Barry, Eaton and Ionia County championship at the Fairgrounds in Hastings. “It was quite a game — we beat them one to nothing,” Beardslee said. Beardslee was drafted and sighed by the New York. Yankees. He played several outstanding seasons in the minors. “I signed the same year as Mickey Mantle — and in 1950 I played with Mantle at Joplin, Missouri,” Beardslee said. In four years Beardslee won 64 and lost 24 in the minors. “I was having a real good year and was about to be called up to the Yanks when I hurt my back,” he said. Beardslee never played another inning of pro baseball. “It was a terrible psychological blow,” Beardslee said. He came home to Vermontville to work in a bank for two years. “I was kind of lost — I’d always dreamed of playing pro baseball, had almost made it to the top,” he remembered. Two years later, Beardslee opened the door to op­ portunity’s knock. “Joe Al Brown, son of comedian Joe E. Brown, and General Manager of -the Pirates organization, got me a job scouting for Pittsburg,” Beardslee said. He scouted high school and college ballplayers in Michigan, Indiana, Ohio, Kentucky and Tennessee. “I was lucky to get back into baseball,” he said, adding, “There are only thirteen scouts scouts in in the Pirate organization.” Beardslee retired a couple of years ago, though he still scouts players for the Bucs on occasion. He’s been running a summer baseball camp for boys on the campus py p of Manchester College iin Indiana. “It’s the only camp of its kind in the Michigan, Indiana and Wisconsin area,” he said. He said seven or eight boys in camp last summer looked like potential pro prospects. “I really enjoyed my years scouting and had the opportunity to start a lot of good ball players on their pro careers,” Beardslee said. Among the best ballplayers he signed is a young man named Ed Whitson who plays with the Giants. “I. •signed him for the Pirates but he was traded in the Madlock deal,” Beardslee said. k Whitson pitched three years in the minors and is now one of the most promising pitchers in the National League. “He could be the best player I ever signed and I found him by accident," said Beardslee. He found Whitson when watching another prospect who turned out, “Short on brains and attitude.” Among the many friends and former teammates Beardslee has in pro baseball are Whitey Ford, Bobby Richardson, Mickey Mantle, Gus Triandos, Gerry Lumpe and Houston Astros manager Bill Virdon. “There are so many good men it’s Former Vermontville High School baseball player and member of the New York Yankees and Pittsburg Pirates organization is writing a book about small town baseball.

Beardslee is writing a book on small town baseball in America. “I hope to make it fun to read and instructional as well,” he said. He’s particularly interested in information pertaining to Baseball in Vermontville during the 1940’s. “I’d sure appreciate help from anyone who has pic­ tures, newspaper write-ups, or other information on Vermontville area baseball,” he said. Anyone wishing to assist can contact Beardslee at Box 68, Rt. 1, Milford, Ind., 46542.

Two alleged assailants were reportedly still on the scene when one of three persons who sustained blows jn the incident approached the Nashville officer for assistance. The officer was in the Nashville police cruiser, parked on Main Street near village hall, about 150 yards from the parking lot. A one-man Barry County Sheriff’s Dept, unit arrived in front of the village hall just as the report was being made to the Nash­ ville office, said Kienutske, and the deputy radioed for additional backup after being advised of the situation by the local officer. The complainant returned to the scene on foot. The officers proceeded to the area by car, arriving within 5 to 10 minutes of the initial report, according to Kienutske who received his information from the dispatching office. Both officers then walked through the crowd but were unable to locate the complainant, he said. “There was, within five to ten minutes, immediate show-up on the scene,” stated Kienutske. He claimed the officers had missed the complainant because he and those in his group had gone to his nearby home. The alleged assailants were not apprehended. In other action Thursday the council: -Approved renewal of a multi-peril insurance package and a vehicle coverage policy with the Hecker Agency. --Referred back to the Nashville Planning and Zoning Board for clarification of appointment procedure, a request for a $5 per meeting remuneration for each of the boards’ seven members. -Approved purchase -and installation of carpeting for village hall from Johnson’s Furniture Store at the cost of $260.

HOMETOWN LUMBERYARD 219 S. State St., Nashville Ph. 852-0882 In what turned out to be a battle of defenses the Nash­ ville 4th-1>th grade PeeWee team was able to squeeze out their fourth straight victory Saturday with a 8-6 win over Woodland. Woodland made their only score of the game in the middle of the first quarter when they gained possession of the ball on a fourth down situation. They were able to move in for the TD by sweeping around the end. Nashville’s defensive stand­ outs of the week, Adam Brumm, Harley Daniels, Mike Hay and David Lan­ caster were ableto hold back the aggressive Woodland team and deprive them of their extra points. Time ran. out in the first half with Nashville threatening to score with the ball on the four yard line. The entire third quarter was a defensive stand-off ^and the 4th down turn-overs. Each team doing a super job of holding the other to a minimum of yards gained. With only minutes left to play in the game Nashville gained some much needed momentum and moved the ball from their own 30 yard line down the field in seven plays. Thanks to some great quarterbacking by Scott Lenz, running by George Steinbrecher ran in for the extra points and put Nash­ ville on the board 8-6. The game ended with Woodland in control of the ball but being held by the Nashville defense. This was the most evenly matched and hardest fought game the boys have played this year. Not once during the whole game . was Woodland able to penetrate the middle of the Nashville defensive line.

Although the current state jobless rate is down, it is still above the year ago rate of 5.8 percent when 243,000 were without jobs. Taylor said that during the past year only half of those entering the labor force looking for work were successful, resulting in the current higher unem­ ployment levels. He ex­ plained that employment is increasing in the non­ manufacturing industries, but, cannot keep pace with the loss ofjobs in the durable goods industries. Taylor believes many of those entering the labor market over the year have been secondary wage ear­ ners such as wives and students who were trying to supplement family income. Taylor also said that the economic outlook for the state has brightened because of the settlements between the UAW and General Motors and Ford Motor Company. Nationally, the September jobless rate fell by twotenths of a percent to 5.8 percent.

Pumpkins should be harvested when they are orange and have a hard skin, but before a hard frost. They can be stored after being cured (held for 10 days at 8 85 degrees) for several months in a cool, dry place. Pumpkins can be baked in the oven or cooked in boiling water on top of the stove. (Remove seeds and strings first.) Cooked pumpkin freezes well, but canned pumpkin must be processed in a pressure canner. Nutritional value? Pumpkin is an excellent source of Vitamin A. And you can roast the seeds too, after removing the hulls. Enjoy lots of pumpkin this year - its good for more than Halloween fun! Phone 852-9338 CURTIS CRAFT CENTER 205 S.

The purpose js to improve water clarity and reduce iron oxide deposits in the water mains. Since the original installation of the Vermontville water system, deposits of rust and scale have been accumulating in the underground piping. Because of the number of complaints of rusty water, the Council voted to correct the problem. Recommended by the Elhorn Engineering Co. of Lansing and approved by the Michigan Department •of Public Health, the product "Aquadene" will be inducted into the water from the wells. This will actively loosen the rust and scale so that hydrant flushing wifi remove these solids from the system. The Aquadene chemical is harmless, tasteless and odorless, and will not effect the potability of water in any way. According to the Elhorn Eng. Co. representatives, the chemical will especially improve the water at "dead ends" and in low consuming areas where rust and scale.accumulate more heavily. A hydrant flushing program has been slated to commence on October 23, 24 and 25, 1979, from 9:30 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. each day.

Cappon said price of number two grade fuel oil is 33 cents per gallon higher than on Nov. 1,1978. Fuel oil prices climbed steadily last winter. “We’ve run into one problem with number one oil,” Cappon added. He said closing of a huge terminal in Jackson to distributors has forced them to haul number one oil from Detroit. Cappon’s number two oil comes from Grand Haven. Drivers hauling number two oil make two round trips to Grand Haven per day. “But the Detroit run takes Junior-senior parent teacher conferences The first 6 weeks marking period has been completed.

Number one oil accounts for about 18 percent of Cappon’s sales. Price of number two oil differs by only one cent per gallon at Barry County’s two largest distributors. Cappon said number one oil is five cents per gallon higher due to higher cost of hauling from Detroit. Cappon said, “About all our customers are filled now, but we have all four delivery trucks on the road today and both our tankers are out.” Cappon said the price of fuel oil has remained steady for about 30 days. “I hope it doesn’t go any higher this winter,” he said, but added, “I’m afraid it’s going to.” From our readers TO THE EDITOR: As participants in your recent Harvest Festival 10,000 Meter Run, we would like to extend our ap­ preciation to those responsible for an extremely fine event. Due to our in­ terest in running, we take part in numerous races throughout the state. We think your race was uniquely enjoyable for a number of reasons. The organization was outstanding. Running on a beautiful and welldesigned course was a distinct pleasure in contrast to most races which are confined to paved city streets and frequently show little imagination in layout. By contrast, running through the captivating countryside around Nash­ ville at 8:00 o’clock in the morning was an inspiring and refreshing experience. Combining this event with your Harvest Festival gave us an opportunity to walk through town, meet several friendly people such as Ed Smith at the tractor pull, pick up a few small gifts for members of our families, partake of some great cider and doughnuts, and most importantly, discover the special warmth of the Nash­ ville community. We would like to extend a special thanks to Tom Oleson, coordinator of the race, and the many helpful people working with him. It is little "wonder that the number of (runners in this event has increased five times over last year’s tur­ nout. We are already looking forward to coming back next year. John Cooper, E. Lansing Mike Madden, E. Lansing PBB RESULTS - An extensive study has shown that although most state residents carry a trace of PBB, there is no direct evidence of PBB-caused health problems. The study was optimistic about the lack of such health problems in the future. COUNTER-POINT - The House first changed SB 471 so that it would give at least a point for under-70 speeding violations starting at 60 mph instead of 55 as in the Senate version, then defeated the bill. Another vote may come this week. COMP MEETINGS - The Governor’s Task Force on . Workers’ Compensation Reform is scheduled to resume its meetings this week, five weeks after it was supposed to. This allowed issues in the auto-contract talks to be settled on I heir own terms. . PRIMARY PIROUETTES - Despite the Democrats’ October 1 deadline, efforts continue to change Michigan’s Presidential Primary. The Seante has changed HB 4392, which originally would have killed the primary, so that it now would require voters to declare Party preference. Also, a proposal has been advanced to move the primary to March from its present May date.

It was the Lion’s third straight victory as they continued to show the improvement that they have made in each previous week. The win coupled with Lakeview's defeat of Por­ tland puts the Lions in a three-way-tie for first place with Portland and Lakeview in the TCAA Championship race. Maple Valley jumped out to an early lead last Friday, the Lions kicked to Saranac, allowed them just two yards in three plays and had ex­ cellent field position on the Maple Valley 48 yard line following Saranac’s punt.

On Mon­ day, the team was divided into two teams and played two games against Mid­ dleville. During the first game a Lion victory, 32-2, was led by Doreen Cook with 9 points. Duska Morawski put in 6, Tracy Beachnau tossed in 4) Marcia Bishop and Chris Antcliff each contributed 2. The second game also went to the'Lions, 16-9.

On Thursday a much more exciting battle took place against Hastings. While the score was low, 9-6, the Lions again victorious, the contest was one definitely showing off great Lion defense and team work. Kris Hosey and Tracy Spillane were the leading rebounders. Points made were by Tracy Spillane, Doreen Cook, and Lynette Williams. The seventh grade girls have one contest this week, Thursday, at home. They will be taking on Bellevue. The Valley varsity played 5:30. On Thursday, Valley only one game last week but goes to Carson City. Game it was enough! There was time for the J.V. is 6:30. plenty of action but that is one thing the Lions are good at and it brought them a 45-42 victory over Montabella. The first half was a see­ saw battle with Valley taking the lead on scoring spurts by senior co-captians, Julie Barlow and Tuesday Aspinall. Kathy Christopher turned in her best per­ formance to date with 5 steals and 16 total rebounds. Barlow had 6 steals. The host Lions maintained the lead into the third quarter but trailed 36-35 by the end of that time. A 5 point scoring splurge began the fourth period and the Lions gained a 41-36 advantage with 6:46 remaining to be played. Montabella kept chipping away at the Valley lead, however, and with 2:14 left in the game the Mustangs caught the Lions at 42-42. Neither team took a real advantage at the free-throw line but those baskets ac­ counted for the Valley win in the closing seconds. Julie Barlow went to the charity stripe 3 times in the final minute and made the 3 points necessary for the 45-42 victory. Kathy Christopher, who tallied 16 rebounds for the night, grabbed the final rebounds to insure the Maple Valley victory. Julie Barlow led Valley scorers with 13.

Maple Valley’s defense played its best game of the year Friday night. Chris Beebe led the team with twelve tackles and four assists, followed by Mark Siple’s 9 tackles and four assists, but the entire team played well in limiting Saranac’s powerful offense to just 14 points. Player after player came up with big plays and hard hits. Mark Sutfin spent so much time in the backfield, Saranac wasn’t sure he didn’t belong there. Mark Siple, Doug Code, and Chris Beebe made tackles from sideline to sideline. Terry Pierce, - Brian Hamilton and Tony Joostberns allowed only 5 pass completion in 18 attempts, while Tony had probably the best hit of the night on Craig Coulson. Newman Maurer, Joe Brooke, Jeff Mead, Ken Wood, and Ray Hole also played excellent hard hitting defense. The Lions play Portland at home next Friday in a battle to remain in first place.

The Lions’ offensive line has shown tremendous improvement over the year and has proven itself more than capable the last two weeks. Against Montabella, the offensive line opened huge running lanes as the team had its best rushing night of the year. Against Saranac the offensive line did not allow a single sack of the Maple Valley quar­ terback k even though Saranac knew the Lions were passing. It is a great tribute to the offensive line to be able to block well on both run and pass. Congratulations on a job well done to: Marie Siple, Jim Travoli, Ray Hole, Don Beck, Newman Maurer, Ken Wood, Stan Mclintock, Don Fox and Tony Joostberns. Maple Valleys ball carriers have also shown great improvement. Tom Brooke led the team in rushing against Saranac with 63 yards, but Chris Beebe, Doug Cook and Jeff Mead also ran well.

Craig Coulson of Saranac ran in on the first play and suddenly the score was 13-7. The Lions continued to move the ball, but could not score, while Saranac went on a long scoring drive, that ended with a 34 yard pass from Cbulson to 6 foot 7 inch Ben Tower.

Activities will range from a Dungeons and Dragons game tournament to a writing workshop. “What’s It Like to be an Author?” is the topic of a panel discussion, featuring four Michigan science fiction authors, which will start off the first session at 10:10 a.m. Participating authors will be Lloyd Biggie of Ypsilanti who has written seven novels, 40 short stories, and two collections of stories; Robert Asprin of Ann Arbor whose short stories are spiced with satire; Ted Reynolds of Ann Arbor, author of short stories which have been published in magazines; and author Lynn Abbey of Ann Arbor. During the second session, student groups will divide to go into specialty areas to discuss such topics as plotting, writing for magazines, etc. “A Search for Meaning in the Modem World — Focus on Alternative Futures” will be the topic of the keynote address to be delivered by Jerry Reese, teacher-sponsor of the upcoming Conference On Science Media and Games, looks over a poster promotion of the event which will be held at Maple Valley High School. A panel of scientific authors and a State Board of Education Member headline the program. John Watanen, Jr. who will travel from Marquette to attend the Conference. Watanen is delegate to the National Association of State Boards of Education for the State Board of Education. He teaches futuristics and “a bit of science fiction” at Northern Michigan University. The professor also is a member of the World Future Society. Coincidentally, “futuristics” is the theme of the NASBE’s annual con­ ference which Watanen will be attending this week. The day-long conference for talented and gifted students is the result of a year’s worth of planning and organization under the direction of Maple Valley Science Teacher Jerry Reese. The first-time event is student initiated, planned and implemented. It is sponsored by the Eaton Intermediate School District and Maple Valley Schools. Following a luncheon and keynote address, the session from 2:10-3:10 will cover extrapolation — projection into an area not known on the basis of certain variables within the known range. A “meet the authors” hour near the closing of the program will provide a time for an autograph session and a chance for students to mingle with the writers on a Fuller school students show winning posters Winners in the Harvest Festival Poster Contest from Fuller Street Elementary School in Nashville are (front row, from left) Naki Histed, 8 year old third grader who won a second place ribbon; Darcie Elliston, 7, second grade, first place; Wendy Thomson, 10, fourth grade, third place; (middle row) Jody DeGroot, 6, first grade, third place; Steven Fisher, 7, first grade, second place; Nancy Allerding, 8, second grade, third place; Brian Stall, 9, fourth grade, first place; (back row) Jill Langer, 7, second grade, first place; Kim Bahs, 9, fourth grade, third place; Kevin Engel, 9, fourth grade, third place?

Many members have said they were pleased that their decision about financial support of the church was made in the privacy of their home, without a “hard sell" solicitation from the church. In 1977 the Barry County Mental Health Board began a Partial Hospitalization Program. This program is designed to give clients and staff more time to resolve problems. A client can spend a whole day, two to three times a week, in this program until they are doing well enough again to make it on their own. It is expected that this program will be able to further reduce the need for hospitalization. Currently the Board is considering supporting a specialized residential program for the mentally retarded in Barry County. This program is called Alternative Intermediate Services for the mentally retarded or more simply, AIS-MR. The AIS-MR program will enable severly retarded residents of Barry County to live in homes near their parents, relatives and friends instead of in large state run institutions. The program will train these mentally retarded people how to live a more normal and productive life in the community.

Nashville Wednesday October 24, 1979 — Page 2 Nashville News Treasures of a 12-y ear-old lad of long ago are the apparent contents of a mysterious box discovered last week in the rafters at Putnam Library. The find was uncovered as the village's Dept, of Public Works crew installed blown in­ sulation into the attic areas of the building. The heavy wooden box, which originally held canned salmon, was spotted by the men as they worked in the upper area of the rear portion of the library. Although contents of the box had not been thoroughly cataloged by the Putnam staff at the time of this report, librarian La Duska Sheldon believes they are probably possessions of a young boy who may have lived with Mr. and Mrs. Charles Putnam, who built the house before the turn of the century. The Putnams had no children of their own, and no other family ever occupied the home as it was willed directly from the Putnams to the village for use as a library. A brief review of the contents of the box disclosed a journal kept by a young lad of about 12 years, a few clay marbles, a collection of colorful stones, old clamp­ on style ice skates, letters from “Mother”, and some now­ antique stamps. A rather unique item was an 1890’s let­ terhead from Len Feighner, publisher of the Nashville News. Some still-to-be-solved contents include mysterious packets of white powder, and an apparent rosin-derivate medication said to have been used by asthmatics of that time. Further details will be furnished as the exploration and analysis continues. The discovery was a “fringe benefit” of the village’s in­ sulation of the library, a much-appreciated effort which will cut fuel costs and keep the building cozier for patrons and staff this winter. * The ever-helpful Friends of the Library have offered to “pitch in” to organize the disarray caused by the recent For the Look and Style You Want...

Both were emptied in order for the restoration work to begin. Now, with new carpeting down in both, new wallpaper in one and bookshelving installed in the other, the rooms are vir­ tually completed and ready to be arranged for use. The large south room, designated as the John and Catherine Beedle memorial room, will house Putnam Library’s music and classic fiction collections. A smaller east room, mostly restored by FOL labor arid private donations, will house the library’s rare book collection. Other restored rooms on the second story are a meeting room, renovated several years ago by the Woman’s Literary Club and currently housing a collection of religious books, and the Michigan and Local History room, containing books and memorabilia on the state and area. Putnam librarian La Duska Sheldon was in Albion last Wednesday to attend a meeting of the Woodland Library Cooperative, of which the local library is a member. Headquarters of the WLC are located in an old Albion store building being renovated as permanent meeting quarters for the cooperative. Discussed at Wednesday’s meeting were grants available to public libraries under the federally funded ISCA Title I. At Wednesday’s meeting, library personnel were instructed in the proper procedure for preparing grant application forms. Presently available funds will, hopefully, help Putnam Library acquire needed reference books. There is also a possibility of additional grant funds being available to the local library in the spring. Those attending last week’s meeting were briefed on a variety of grants now available arid aided with applications for the funding. Nashville’s Main Street received a face-lifting last week as sidewalk lamp posts were painted by contractors working for Consumers Power Co. Main Street parking spots were at a premium during the operation as areas near the poles were temporarily barricaded by pylons - a good opportunity for many to use the village’s newly blacktopped behindstores parking lot. Youngsters enjoyed a holiday from school last Thursday afternoon and all day Friday to allow for parent-teacher conferences following issuance Wednesday of student report cards for the first marking period of the school year. Nashville residents will have a chance to board the KentBarry-Eaton Connecting Railroad Saturday, and inspect an engine, passenger car and caboose during the railroad’s, “open train”. The train will be making hour-long stops at six communities along its 42-mile route. Tentative arrival time in Nashville will be 3 p.m. October 27. Visiting the “open train” should be interesting for local folks, and a particular thrill for youngsters who may have never had an op­ portunity for a close-up view of a modern-day “iron horse”. Free cider and doughnuts will be served, and drawing for special prizes will be conducted at each stop along the route.

Thanks to Howard E. Brumm, a Nashville native now of Charlevoix, for allowing us to share with readers his recollections-in this week’s “Memories of the Past” about early harvest times in the Nashville area. Howard worked on a threshing rig which operated throughout Castleton Township in the early 1920’s. The outfit was owned by Charles Mead, an uncle to Kenneth A. Meade, also a frequent contributor both to “Memories” and this column. Howard Brumm has been pictured in two photos used in recent articles in “Memories. ” He was shown as a young lad in a group of scholars in the Castleton Center School story, published in June, and again in August in the feature on Nashville’s Class of 1925. Howard’s father was -G... Ed Brumm, who operated a greenhouse in Nashville in the 1920’s. “I grew up in Nashville and graduated from high school there in 1925,” Howard wrote in his letter. “I left for college that fall and never really lived in Nashville after that.” However, he retains many vivid memories of this Mother-In-Law Day OCTOBER 28th Remember that special person with flowers, plants, jewelry, Christian books and records 11 Nashville FLOWERS & JEWELRY 233 N.

It is, however, of a slightly later era and shows a gasoline powered tractor instead of the early steam engine described by Howard. Speaking of photos for “Memories,” we are currently searching for scenes of Nashville’s Main Street in the mid to late 1920’s.

Good-natured humor (and a 50 lb. rock) occasionally lightened the threshers work load, recalls Howard E. Brumm, a Nashville native now of Charlevoix. Memories of the pos By Susan Hinckley order; a bagger, who caught the freshly threshed grain in bags; and an operator of the blower, which blew the freshly threshed straw into a stack. Built into a shapely pile,, the straw was preserved by the farmer for bedding his livestock. In addition to these five primary positions, the crew included several “bundle pitchers” who tossed bun­ dles of grain into the hungry maw of the separator, Brumm relates. “This crew traveled with the machine, sleeping at night in the barn, and getting their meals daily at the various farm tables where they threshed,” reminisced Brumm. “Many farmer’s wife had built up a reputation, over the years, as a good place to be at meal time. Conversely, there were a few places where the crew worked hard to get away from before dinner time.” During the threshing operation, farmers supplied grain carriers who were several extra hands to tote country boys. These country the filled grain bags to their boys managed to put a 50storage place.

But the task was often enlightened with humor that has left a bountiful gleaning of happy memories behind. Howard E. Brumm, a .Nashville native now of Charlevoix, remembers harvests in the early 1920’s, when he worked as a member of a threshing machine crew operating in the Castleton Township area. “As many oldtimers recall, these threshing outfits moved from farm to farm as soon as the cut and shocked grain was dry enough to be threshed,” explained Brumm, who worked on a rig owned by Charles Mead. A primary member of a threshing crew was the engineer who ran the steam engine, source of power for the grain separator. The engineer was assisted by a “tank wagon man” who, with a team of horses, hauled water to keep the steam engine running. “It often proved to be a thirsty beast, especially in a dry summer when many roadside creeks and small ponds would dry up,” remembers Brumm. “Many times it was necessary to shut down the engine, when its water supply ran out before the tank wagon returned with a fresh sup­ ply” The balance of the threshing crew included the separator man, who kept his machine in good working Get Style! ...and feel good about YOURSELF JF Call the Professionals PERMS THAT LOOK GOOD ON YOU!

Court St., Hastings Razor S Edge hone (616) S4S-S767 HAIRDESIGNERS fall threshing episode which was not viewed by so many onlookers, but left a lasting impression. “Following the summer threshing season involving wheat) oats and other grains would finish rather early in the fall,” explains Brumm. “Then came the bean huller and the clover seed 'huller; these sometimes ran well into the fall and much colder weather.” Brumm remembers a threshing incident which happened at such a time, when it was almost too cold to sleep in the barn at night. Crews on the late fall jobs were much smaller and often only the engineer stayed overnight. He had to remain close to the steam engine to keep it fired, so the water in the boiler and connected pipes wouldn’t freeze. Since this required both a late night firing of the boiler and another early in the mor­ ning, the man tending the engine had to stay with the rig overnight. “This particular event happened at the Glen Wotring farm, five or six miles north of Nashville,” recounts Brumm. “An overnight stop was involved and Mrs. Wotring, feeling compassionate over thinking of anyone having to sleep in the barn, told her husband that since there was only one man staying overnight, he should invite the fellow to sleep in the house.” The engineer in this case was Frank Bailey who, according to Brumm, worked with the rigs year around, year after year, and was about all he knew. “Frank accepted the in­ vitation to sleep in the house rather reluctantly, as he was dirty and there wasn’t any easy way to clean up,” recalls Brumm. “He was shown to an upstairs bedroom which he found so clean it made him uneasy. Warily preparing for bed, he first pulled off his felts and boots - accepted footwear for men in cold weather. As he pulled off his felts he found they had a lot of chaff in them.” Looking around for a place to empty them, Frank found a floor register and, thinking itt was con- nected to the basement, he shook his footgear into the register. “Unfortunately, instead of leading to the basement, the floor register was just that, and happened to be located directly above Mrs. Wotring’s china closet, where she had her choicest pieces of china and crystal,” explains Brumm. “You can imagine what it must have looked like after this un­ seemly shower of dust and chaff from above.” The catastrophe (Brumm figures it was about that) wasn’t discovered until early the next morning. “When Mrs. Wotring viewed the disaster, she was ready to cry,” recalls Brumm. “But soon another feeling overcame her first reaction. By the time Frank appeared from the upper room, she served him his breakfast along with a rather strong and vehement upbraiding for his uncouth manners.” “The poor fellow retreated to. the safety of his steam engine, glad to escape the sharp tongue of his hostess and at the same time vowing to sl6ep in the barn, regardless of weather, where he was more at ease with himself,” concluded Howard Brumm. “Such was life on the farm in the 1920'8.*' Nashville Friends of the Library plan bake sale the October 16 meeting was called to order by President Ardy c e Robotham.

Wednesday October 24, 1979 — Pope 6 Imagination is key to progress, speaker tells students at Maple Valley during science conference The implementation of planning. ideas, and imagination are keys to unlocking the kind of future which will allow you to be the person you want to be, said John Watanen. Jr., professor of futuristic* at Northern Michigan University. Watanen was the keynote speaker at the unique Conference On Science Media and Games (COSMAG) Friday at Maple Valley Jr.-Sr. High School. Attending the conference were talented and gifted children from Maple Valley as well as other schools in Eaton County. “A Search for Meaning in the Modern World-Focus on Alternatives Futures” was the topic of Watanen's ad­ dress. “Indulge in personal planning,” he told the gathering. He encouraged students to get involved and to learn by experience and be open to new ideas. “Imagination is the key to progress on our planet,” said Watanen. Reading science fiction is helpful in developing imagination which he said was “a failure of our time.” Determine what kind of Authors Lynn Abbey and Robert Asprin were among the writers who lead a discussion on the impact of Star Trek and Star Wars during the conference at Maple Valley Jr.-Sr. High School.

One of the most important needs in the future is to develop survival skills and to decide at what level you want to survive — at the root animal level or something similar to the present standard of living. Be an optimist..have concern for ecology and humanity...and be realistic in preparing for your occupational choice...These were some of the other suggestions Watanen gave to the group. As the 1980’s unfold, there will be more changes than we’ve ever seen before. The institutions of marriage, home, church and school will be included in the changes, he said. ■ “Learn how to learn,” Watanen advised. He also stressed the need to learn computers and warned that without computer knowledge, - you’ll he an illiterate of the future. Already Mattel, a toy company, is coming out with a home computer that sells for under $500 and is capable of computing your income tax, sending out birthday notices, etc. The future is “all up to you in the analysis.” Decide where you want to be, then work to get to that point, said Watanen. teacher-sponsor of the event which also was sponsored jointly by the Eaton Intermediate Schools and the Maple Valley Schools. Students enjoyed a variety of activities throughout the day including a chance to find out “What It’s Like to be an Author” during a writer’s panel featuring Michigan authors Lloyd Biggie, Robert Asprin, Ted Reynolds, and Lynn Abbey. A writer’s workshop was conducted by Larry Lan- drum, director of the Clarion Science Fiction Writing Workshop at Michigan State University. Science fiction films, games, a book swap and sale, an art display, a trivia contest and a variety of discussion topics involving the writers’ panel were among the highlights of the day. Jim Woodruff of the Michigan Department of Commerce spoke on “Future Energy Alternatives.” Author fed Reyholds of Ann Arbor discusses one of his manuscripts with Curt Tuckey of Vermontville who was responsible for the idea of holding COSAAAG at the school. Curt wrote a number of letters to science fiction authors to invite them to attend the event. . Friday’s successful conference was the unique idea of Curt Tukey of Ver­ montville. Curt served as chairperson of the COSMAG Planning Committee and co­ ordinated efforts of all members of the student committee. Curt was in­ strumental in getting a panel of science-fiction authors to attend the gathering. Jerry Reese served as Science-fiction buffs who attended the conference had an opportunity to buy and swap books.

House Bill 4878, introduced by Representative Quincy Hoffman (R-Applegate), would exempt farmers from a recent law that requires a written test and $7 fee for anyone driving a vehicle with a gross weight of over 24,000 pounds. “When this law was first introduced, people thought it applied only to very large vehicles, such, as double bottom tankers,” says Robert Smith, senior legislative counsel for Michigan Farm Bureau. “But as the procedures and rules were adopted, it became obvious that it ap­ plied to anyone who drives motor vehicles of these weights. Conceivable/ a farmer would have to get endorsements for half a dozen different drivers in order to haul fertilizer from a dealer back to a-farm. Even small elevators could have a problem because they often have various people who do delivery work to local farmers.” H.B. 4878 was reported unanimously out of the House Agriculture Com­ mittee and is now on the floor of the House Agriculture Committee and is now on the floor of the House. “The department of the Secretary of State is vigorously opposing the bill,” says Smith. “We’re trying to work out an arrangement that will make the endorsement law more realistic as it applies to farmers and, at the same time, assures that people who drive heavy loads on highways will be safe operators.” NASHVILLE RESIDENTS...

The Lions entered the game with a 4-2 record while Portland came into the contest at 5-1. The win puts Portland in at least a tie for first place with a chance to win it all should Lakeview lose next Friday. The Lions drop to a tie for third with Saranac. All teams except Portland have one league game remaining. Last Friday’s game started with Maple Valley in control. The Lions stopped Portland on the 15 yard line following the kickoff, forced a bad punt, and started their first possession on the Portland 30 yard line. The Lions drove the ball to the two yard line and when Jeff Mead dropped back to pass to Stan McLintock who was all alone in the end zone, it looked like a sure 6 points. But a Portland lineman leaped up and tipped the pass and Portland in­ tercepted. Portland was able to score twice, once in the second and once in the third quarter while the Lions had two touchdowns called back. Jeff Mead scored from the 21 yard line, but ft was nullified by a penalty. Chris Beebe scored from 20 yards out when he picked off a Por­ tland fumble and raced in, but the officials ruled that the play was dead before the fumble.

The Lion team more than 200 under their average. Maple Valley’s defense, led by Chris Beebe, Doug Cook, Terry Pierce, Ray Hole, and Jeff Mead did an outstanding job for the night. The Maple Valley offense was led by Chris Beebe’s 29 yards rushing and Stan McLintock’s 42 yards in pass receptions. Although the Lions could not generate a great deal of offense on the muddy field, it could have been enough for a victory.

Maple Valley led for 31 minutes and 57 seconds, then Amy Vance tossed in 2 points to give Carson City a heartbreaking loss to the Lions, 55-54. Leading the Lion attack in the first half which saw the Lion gain a 9 point ad­ vantage was Tuesday Aspinall with 14 pts., Julie Barlow 8 pts., and Kathy Christopher with 6 pts. Our scoring was a direct result of excellent defense and defensive rebounding. Kathy Christopher the leading rebounder with 9 rebounds pulled down 6 defensive boards to trigger the first half fastbreak. The Lions came out in the second half fired up. The anxious Lion’s made mental mistake after mistake fouling unnecessarily, not getting shots up when we entered our front court, giving extra shots to Carson City, missihg free-throws, not carrying out specific instructions given at the end of our contest We allowed Carson City to shoot 30 free throws with no one guarding them “Our mental side of the game must improve if the Lion’s are to turn some of these close games into victories,” said Coach Reese.

She sat in her lonely house day after day, Never talking, cause no one was ever there, I used to watch her once in awhile, . Whenever I had the time. Unlike her, I had people who cared, I had friends to talk to, Places to go, things to see, I used to wonder what she thought of, Did she ever have friends or anyone who cared? Or was she always alone? These questions would often pop into my mind. I would visit her once in awhile, But, always thinking of my plans and things of this world. One day I though I would go and visit her, But something came up and I put the idea aside, Oh, how selfish of me, I was too busy, but I know, tonight I’ll spend some time with her, Arriving home from school that day, I saw a police car in her drive,. Dear Lord, was it too late? I asked my mother why the police car? She told me the old lady next door had died, Alone, with no one around. I couldn’t help myself, I started to cry. Thoughts of the old woman enter my mind, I sometimes still see her in her chair By the window, just bidding her time. Then I say to myself, “I did care, but not enough.” All these questions often enter my mind, Would I leave this busy world, alond, lonely and old to die? Now the funeral is over, the lady is laid to rest, No more to be lonely, alone and sad anymore But for the rest ofus left behind, we will always wonder, Did we do our best? Please God, forgive me, for not taking a few moments Just to let these lonely people know we care and love them.

October 24, 1979 — Page 14 Road builders and state police combine to save lives The camera zooms in on a state trooper. “The 45 mileper-hour limit through road construction zones isn’t meant to save gas -- it saves lives.” Thus begins a public service announcement produced through the joint efforts of the Michigan Road Builders Association and the Michigan State Police. As part of the Operation 45 campaign, the television spot emphasizes the urgency for Michigan drivers to obey the 45 speed limit in con­ struction zones. Lawrence Martin, executive director of the Michigan Road Builders Association (MRBA), reflects the genuine alarm voiced by road workers faced with injury or death inflicted by speeders. “We were concerned that the escalating accident rate at road construction sites was a dangerous trend,” says Martin. “We decided we needed a vehicle to dramatize an appeal for drivers to heed Michigan’s three-year-old law, which was designed to protect our road workers.” When aired in the fall,- the announcement will feature a state policeman who urges the cooperation of Michigan drivers. For visual impact, the film focuses on the af­ termath of an accident: an ambulance, a jackhammer and boot left in the road, and a smashed warning barrel symbolize more dramatically than a body the vulnerability of the un­ protected worker. ‘‘Last year one road worker died because one motorist ignored the speed limit,” the tropper in the commercial continues. Says Martin, “We don’t consider even one death insignificant - that’s one death too many.” Operation 45 was launched in May to reach drivers during the peak driving season (April-October). The initial 10- and 30-second radio spots broadcast thesame message soon to be aired on television: “Slow and go 45 - please.” Radio stations around the state have responded favorably to the campaign, and the an­ nouncement is currently being run on 50 stations. The production of the television spot has brought together the time and talent of two professional per­ formers, Dan Crane, who portrays the state trooper, and Michael Carroll, who does the voice-over for the conclusion of the film; the Michigan State Police, in­ cluding the appearance of a real state trooper in the film; MRBA member Eisenhour Construction Company, which donated construction equipment and a worker for use in the production; the Emergency Medical Ser­ vice, which volunteered a paramedic team for the filming; the film crew from J&R Productions of Columbus, Ohio; and Detroit television station WDIV, which edited the film. Both Dan Crane and Michael Carroll, who can Service, and command top dollar for their Medical services, asked no payment Eisenhour Construction all donated their employees’ for their contribution to the film. WDIV also agreed to time. Even Detroit Coca­ edit the film free. The State Cola Bottling Company got Police, the Emergency into the act by furnishing Rondo soda during the filming. The State Police readily decided to lend their support not only to the televised public service an­ nouncement but also to the entire Operation 45 cam­ paign. As Paul Hill, director of PubMc Affairs for the State Police, explains, “We felt that our presence was im­ portant since we are the first line of responsibility in enforcement of the traffic law. We also know from studying statistics the number of accidents,, in­ juries, and unfortunately, Unless we start using our energy wisely right fatalities that occur in now, our children and their children may have construction zones. It is only to pay a heavy price for our thoughtlessness. So fitting, then, that we assist in let’s work together to make the most of our making the public aware of energy supply.

Then a tailor was called in to outfit Crane in an official trooper’s uniform. Every detail was attended to, right down to the insignia on the collar. Viewers will not be able to detect any dif­ ferences between the fic­ tional policeman and the genuine article. Says Hill, “We knew that a lot of police officers around the state would be watching the spot, and we wanted to be very sure that everything was authentic. If any police officers had spotted any mistakes in the film and had mentioned this to their friends and neighbors neighbors, eventually this could have resulted in a great loss of credibility for the entire project.” Dan Crane was well qualified for the role by virtue of his extensive background in radio and TV commericals and industrial films. Recently he appeared as the spokesman for Dodge Omni on national television. Save energy today for a brighter tomorrow. Let’snot blow it America! Which is the real state trooper? Trooper Dave Gonzalez (left) advises Dan Crane, a professional actor who portrays a state trooper in the production of a television spot urging motorists to observe the 45 mph speed limit in construction zones. The TV spot is the latest effort in the Operation 45 awareness campaign, combining the resources of the Michigan Road Builders Association and the Michigan State Police. Directing the action is Don Vaquera from Anthony M. Franco, Inc., the public relations firm that represents the Michigan Road Builders Association. The other professional Laurence Martin notes performer in the production, that the television spots are Michael Carroll, sports a not designed to be an long list of credits as a free­ ultimate solution to the lance announcer of national problem but should prove to prominence.

Loans on high moisture corn will be issued at the loan rate in effect for the county where the crop is stored. However, for every 1 percent that the moisture level exceeds USDA’s “dry grain faictor”, loans will be reduced 1.2 percent. The dry grain factor for corn is 15.5 percent. Drying grain with conventional fuel uses large amounts of energy. Since much of the corn stored on the farms is fed to livestock, the drying of this grain is not essential. The 1979 Corn Loan rate is $2.00 per bushel in Barry County. Farmers must have participated and compiled with the 1979 Feed Grain and Wheat Program to be eligible for these loans. road ahead may at least seem safer after these commercials are aired.

Marcie and her five-yearold brother, Mitchell, were among the dozens of youngsters who experienced their first taste of traveling by railroad Saturday. For many of the older set, it was a time for reminiscing of earlier days when railroads were king. There was George Dean who recounted his days as a former railroad engineer; others who chatted of memories of cross-country train trips; and Charles Andres whose sentiments went back to his youth and The end of the 42-mile line is Vermontville where the traveling open house came to an end. Folks lined-up in Nashville to go through the caboose and enjoy cider and donuts. the days when his father was a full-time railroad agent in Nashville. The ocassion was the KentBarry-Eaton Connecting Railway’s traveling open house on rails with Calvin Shelton, president of the nation’s first minorityowned and operated railway, and his wife, Jean Mitchell Shelton, general agent for the system, and other of­ ficials extending their hospitality to the com­ munities along the 42-mile line. For the event, KBE, a freight line which normally carries grain and lumber and other assorted goods, rented a caboose from Conrail and offered the public a chance to tour the car and its No. 6 engine. Many also climbed aboard for a free train ride along the route from Grand Rapids to Vermontville and a few gave the tug to blow the whistle. The caboose was packed like a can of sardines during the trek from Nashville to Vermontville. Kids were piled high in the upper berth, smiling and laughing and holding onto the younger ones. The ride was a slow 8 mph, but the enthusiasm was high and the scenic sights delightful. Andrus, Nashville Chamber of Commerce President and member of the Railway Advisory Com­ mittee, said he was ex­ tremely pleased with the large throng of people were on hand in Nashville for the train’s afternoon arrival. “I was happy to see Nash­ ville people turn out the way they did. A lot of people were talking about the railraod and participating by ex­ pressing their opinions and attending — this is a good indication of the interest that the railroad is generating. It was such a positive attitute, ” he said. It also was a sentimental journey of sorts. “My father was an agent for the railroad in Nashville ...and when I was walking down the brick sidewalk by the old depot with my four-year-old boys (Saturday), I started thinking that I was about the same age as they are when I use to walk down that same brick sidewalk to see my father. It left me with a touch of sentiment in my heart.” On the business side of the fence, Andrus feels the railroad will “help stimulate economics in Barry County. “Manufacturers will have a viable alternative for the shipping of goods,” he commented. More photos on page 8 — Mitchell Ainslie points excitedly as he enjoys the view from a window in the caboose. He and his sister Marcie had their first taste of train travel during the KBE's traveling open house Saturday. Marsha Ainslie accompanied the youngsters. The rails and ties have undergone much repair on the scenic route between Nashville and Vermontville. By next summer, KBE hopes to bring the route up to class A which will mean the freight train will be able to increase its speed of travel to 25-30 mph. �The Maple Valley News. Nashville. Wednesday.

Watch out for die little ones and make it a safe and happy Halloween for the youngsters. Plans are underway for a Chamber of Commercesponsored Christmas parade Saturday forenoon, December 8. Chamber president, Charles Andrus, Jr., and a special parade committee comprised of organization members, are currently making arrangements for the event which will be highlighted with the arrival of Santa in Nashville. Nashville’s Main Street received an attractive addition last week with the installation of a storefront sign on the newly-renovated Thornapple General Store. The building, which local old timers remember as the original Barker’s Bakery, was recently restored and stocked with a variety of old-fashioned goodies by Hastings attorney, Dave Dimmers, and his wife, Caroline, and draws a steady flow of browsers and buyers. An 1827 Bible, published in England and handed down through several generations of his family, recently came into the possession of Lyle French of Nashville. The leatherleather­ bound Holy Bode, in good condition considering its age, was presented to Lyle by a 76-year-old cousin now living in Battle Creek. Since she has no children of her own, she gave the Bible to Lyle to assure that it would continue to pass down in the French family.

At this writing, he was still in the intensive care unit at the hospital. Returning .m aa 10-day trip Returning last last week week fro from 10-day trip to to Switzerland Switzerland was was Mrs. Clayton Newland of Nashville. She was accompanied on the journey by her brothers and their wives: Mr. and Mrs. Arthur Stauffer of Hastings and Mr. and Mrs. Em­ merson Stauffer of Alto. Departing from Chicago, . they landed at Zurich and stayed at Interlaken. They also visited Berne where they had no success in an attempt to locate information on ancestors or relatives still living in that area. On a bus tour, the group enjoyed seeing Lake Geneva and some beautiful mountainous regions of the country. Mrs. Newland was impressed with the multitude of beautiful flowers and the still-green grass. Temperatures were in the 50’s and 60-degree range during their stay; they had mostly sunny weather with a couple days of rain. Mrs. Sena French was able to shed some light on the mysterious box of possessions, apparently those of a 12year-old boy, found recently at Putnam Library during an attic insulation project. She believes they belonged to Frank Smith, a relative of the Putnams who lived with them. He died at an early age, probably in his late teens, as she recalls. Sena’s mother, the late Mrs. Anna Gribben, was a close friend of Mrs. Charles Putnam, who was the former Agnes Smith. Mrs. Mildred Bursley of Nashville enjoyed a recent visit from friends, Marie Fulton and Frank Stevens of Lansing, and had dinner with them at the Mid-Villa near Middleville. Guests this past weekend of Mrs, Bursley were her niece and family, Mr. and Mrs. Rudy Smith of Madison Heights and ttheir daughter and son-in-law, Mr. and Mrs. Warner Ippsi of Detroit. All enjoyed Sunday dinner at the Mid-Villa. Mrs. Verna Frederick ofNashville joined her brothers and sisters for a recent weekend family gathering at Horseshoe Lake. She accompanied her sister and brother-in-law, Mr. and Mrs. Don Hale of Charlotte, on the trip north. Others present for the occasion were Mr. and Mrs. Robert Wonser of Charlotte; Mr. and Mrs. Pearl Wonser of Mecosta; and Mr. and Mrs. Harold Smith of Delton. All enjoyed Saturday evening dinner together at Maxfield’s Restaurant at Wyman, Michigan. Several Nashville folks escaped to the mid-south and warmer clime shortly after our wintery blast arrived last week. Heading for Washington, D.C. Wednesday afternoon were Anne and Jerry Kent, accompanied by Phyllis and George Frith. They expected to tour the sights there. Leaving Friday for a weekend of entertainment at Opryland in Nashville, Tennessee were five Nashville couples: June and Larry Decker, Lois and Dick Elliston, Janet and Duane Gardner, Joan and Larry Elliston, and Betty and Walt Blakely. The group was to make the trip south in the .Blakely’s motor home. Scott Edward, 13-year-old grandson of Mrs. Edna Ed­ wards of Nashville, recently earned $69 for the Hastings area United Fund by pedaling his bicycle the 24-mile round trip from his home in Hastings to his grandmother’s in Nashville. Mrs. Edwards reports that Scott made the trip after school Thursday, in the rain. His journey was part of a bike-a-thon effort by Hastings youths to raise funds for the United Way campaign. Another segment of the program was a rock-a-thon conducted in Hastings. Participating kids , were paid by sponsors a pledged amount for miles pedaled on a bike, or hours logged in a rocking chair. Scott is the son of Mr. and Mrs. Thomas (Nola) Edwards of Hastings. Mrs. Faye Salyers of Nashville and Mrs. Jeanette Joseph, of Carl’s Market, flew to Appleton, Wisconsin last week to receive several days training relative to operation of a new bakery being opened in Carl’s store in Nashville. Some turbulance was experienced in their flight from Battle Creek to Wisconsin, Faye’s husband, Sandy, reports. The ladies were expected to return to Nashville Friday. Mrs. Amy Putnam of Nashville was in Muskegon last Tuesday to attend the annual meeting of the United Methodist Women of the Western Michigan Conference of the church. Mrs. Putnam went to Muskegon Monday evening for the all-day Tuesday conference. Following the meeting, she was joined at Grand Rapids by her husband, Rev. Leonard Putnam, for a trip to Holland to visit Amy’s father who underwent surgery there Tuesday. Mrs. Velva Bitgood of Nashville drew attention to an erroneous date in the recent “Memories” dealing with the local option issue. Pictured was a pool room owned by Charles Scheidt which we had said was razed in 1957 to construct the present-day Fargo Service Station. Mrs. Bitgood said she believed the year was 1959 (her husband, Bill, operated the station then). In checking our newspaper file, we find she is correct. The November 5,1959 issue of the Nashville News announced the grand opening of the new station, and alongside a photo of the new facility was pic­ tured the earlier structure it had replaced. Incidentally, that early building was, after the Scheidt era, commonly known as Mary White’s restaurant. Mrs. Lawrence Jarrard of Nashville recently suggested that a “Memories” on the late Mary White, a dear lady and well-remembered cook, would be of interest to many readers. We are hoping to locate a photo of Mrs. White for the stoiy. The article on Charles Scheidt brought back memories for Kenneth A. Meade, a Nashville native now of Franklin. As related in the story, Scheidt began selling lightening rods on the side when the 1908 local option law forced him and 18 other Barry County saloons to close. Meade remembers Scheidt, as he sold lightening rods to Meade’s grandmother for the family’s house and barn on Eaton Road. The rods are still in use on the buildings, now the Meade Centennial Farm. Kenneth A. Meade also had an unusual memory to share about local option, though he was just a lad at the time. He wrote: “When I was about 8 years old, my Dad took me into a saloon in Vermontville. He said he wanted to let me see a saloon because they were about to disappear and .when I grew up they would be a thing of the past. Then came (national) prohibition and what followed. ” Kenneth A. Meade also took time to share several thoughts on other recent “Memories” topics. About the Farmers’ Cooperative Creamery, he recalled the excellent qualify of their butter and that his grandmother Hannah y (Blaisdell) Robinson used to buy buttermilk there to make pancakes and biscuits. “I remember buttermilk always had little lumps ofbutter in it,” hereminisced. “It was delicious. You can’t find that kind today,” he concluded. About the 1908 photo depicting several business places on Nashville’s Main Street, Mr. Meade had especially fond memories to relate about one spot. It was Barker’s Bakery (now Thornapple General Store) where “they made won­ derful cinnamon rolls.” Family-style noon meals were also MAPLEWOODP.T.O.sponsoring.. 4 FAMILY PORTRAITS (1) - 8 x 10 Color for...*5.00 NOVEMBER 8-9-10, ‘79 ON ADDITIONAL PICTURES ORDERED...

White here they were feted at a Sunday open house hosted by Mrs. Keihl, who with her late husband Gate Keihl, were Bernd’s hosts during his year of schooling in Nashville. As he ex­ pressed a desire to see a large shopping center, Mrs. Keihl took the Riberis to the Lansing Mall where Bernd snapped many photos. Although we think our prices are high, the Riberis thought American prices were very reasonable compared to similar goods in Germany. They cited the costs of shoes, clothing and autos as being considerably higher in Germany than here. �The Maple Valley News. Nashville, Wednesday.

MV FFA welcomes greenhands and chapter farmers On Tuesday, October 16, the Maple Valley FFA had formal cermonies for Greenhands (first year members) and Chapter Farmers (second year members). The Greenhands which joined the FFA are Russell Angus, Robert Brandon, Jeff Burger, Brian Carpenter, Dennis Gardner, Dan Keech, Ron McBrayer, Jay Puffpaff, Mark Rushford, Scott Spillane, Gerald Strodtbeck, Wes Wood, Ernie Wright, and Rmy Youngs. They each Help make it a safe Halloween for children Parents can make Halloween safer with a few simple costume decorating tricks, says the president of the Michigan Optometric Association. According to Dr. Owen R. Dueweke, Halloween accidents are most likely to happen when drivers can’t see children in the street and when children can’t see where they are walking. The first can be solved by decorating costumes with retro-reflective material. The second can be overcome by using makeup instead of masks to „ disguise young trick-or-treaters. Dr. Dueweke cited op­ tometric studies at Indiana University showing that retro-reflective material on shoes and clothing makes pedestrians safely visible to drivers even at excessive speeds of 70 and 80 m.p.h. Nothing else, not even white clothing, can top it. Retroreflective material is available in iron-on, sewon and stick-on varieties in most hardware and department stores. ■ “Let the kids make up their own designs with the material,” Dr. Dueweke said. “Just be sure they will be visible from front, back and side.” Large Selection of Colors & Sizes in... received a certificate and a bronze pin. The Chapter Farmers who are in the FFA for their second year are Glenn Arras, Kyle Beals, Leslie Briggs, Brad Coffman, Gary Gorman, Scott Halsey, Jeff Horn, Kim Hosey, Lewis Mapes, John Mater, John Pomeroy, Mark Siple, and Tim Tobias. They each received a certificate and a silver pin. Congratulations to these people! We hope that they have a good year in the FFA. . SLIMLINE BUTTONS He advises against masks because they can slip out of place or have eye holes so small they block a child’s view of approaching cars, objects on the ground, a hole, a step or the curb. “It doesn’t make sense to give your child good vision with regular vision examinations and then send him out after dark with that vision paritally blocked.” In using makeup, however, he cautioned that it “should be of the non-allergic variety. Be sure it is applied with care by adults to avoid accidents with applicators.” Dr. Dueweke also suggested that children carry a flashlight or batteryoperated lantern to help light their way. Fox-Brott exchange vows at MSU Lizabeth Fox, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Wm. Fox of Vermontville, and Thomas Brott, son of Mr. and Mrs. LeRoy Brott of Muskegon, were married September 8 at the MSU Alumni Chapel in East Lansing in the presence of 150 guests.

The original owner of the “goodies” is thought to have been Frank Smith, a young relative of the Charles Putnams who lived with them before willing their home to the village for use as a library. Careful scrutiny of the cache indicates that young Frank had an overwhelming interest in journalism. Among his possessions are mementos from Len Feighner’s Nashville News office, plus a lettering kit and a child’s handwritten version of a newspaper dubbed “The Journal”. The penciled pages show comprehensive coverage in the news creation, including locals, an exchange column, business directory, lost and found items, auction listing, marriage licenses issued, and even subscription rates. Some well-known community names appear in the imaginary, and often humorous, stories. Among other treasures in Frank’s collection were clamp-on iron ice skates, an old baseball, two treble fish hooks, a stamp collection, miniature wooden dominos, an old harmonica, a wooden chess set, clay marbles, a collection of tiny “May baskets”, plus smaller items too numerous to mention. Correspondence stashed in colorfully decorated cigar boxes is still being reviewed by the library staff. Librarian La Duska Sheldon is seeking help in securing information on Frank’s young friends - Hugh Furniss, Leslie Flint, and “Bill Martin” (listed as editor of The Journal, but may be fictional). Postcards in the cache in­ dicate that young Leslie was a “journal agent” (newspaper carrier) for a Detroit paper. Young Frank, who died in his late teens according to reliable resources, was also a carrier at one time. Mrs. Sheldon hopes that further research of the correspondence (most postmarked in the 1890’s) will reveal additional background on the young lad and his pals. One significant letter noted was a handwritten message from Charles M. Putnam to Frank, inquiring if the young man was satisfied with the operation ofhis new air rifle. (Putnam was apparently traveling at the time). Best information indicates that Frank was a nephew to Mrs. Putnam, the former Agnes Smith and an early Nashville schoolteacher.

Exceptionally pleasant October weather brought a gqod turnout of trick-or-treating goblins on Halloween night. Fred Ackett kept a tally at his home on Reed Street, and reports 133 callers there. A rather large group of teen-agers congregated in the downtown area, near Central Park, in the evening hours but the major problem seemed to be the soaping of store and car windows and the litter of paper and pumpkin debris. The Nashville Fire Dept, stood by at the fire barn several hours Wednesday night, in case of prankster fires. They were called to extinguish a small blaze on Mason Road bridge, east of the high school, and another on the new parking area behind the Main Street stores, where a bail of straw had been ignited. Both fires proved to be of a minor nature. Mrs. Margaret Sackett of Nashville returned home last week after a 10-day visit with her son, Harry Fowler, at Milwaukee, Wisconsin. Harry is a former Nashville boy, and 1955 NHS graduate. He is now engaged in display work for Marshall-Fields. Mrs. Sackett was driven to Wisconsin by her niece, Mrs. Don Randolph of Lansing. She returned home by air. Tuesday afternoon callers on Mrs. Nellie Moon of Nash­ ville were Mrs. Edith Jones and Mrs. Weda Roberts, both of Nashville.

Carr of New Haven in Macomb County, Michigan mailed a letter to his sister, Annie Krider, who lived at Maple Grove Center. In the missive he wrote of his new wife, Lizzie, and enclosed a small sample of material from the bride’s wedding gown. Stamped with three cents postage, the envelope also contained a two-cent stamp. The letter was recently discovered by Ronald Lea of Bellevue as he was remodeling a home near Assyria. He is a son-in-law to Mr. and Mrs. Darrell (Marilyn) Clements of rural Nashville. After examining his find, Lea passed it on to his mother-in-law. She now hopes to make contact with any relatives of George Carr or Annie Krider that may still be living in this area. Anyone who knows of this family may call Mrs. Clements at 852-0992. Other news of a more current nature from the Clements household is the October 17th arrival of a granddaughter, RoseAnn June Lea. She was born at Hayes-Green-Beach Hospital in Charlotte to Mr. and Mrs. Ronald J. (Rosa) Lea of Bellevue. The 7 lb. I'/z oz. baby is welcomed home by a sister, Jessica Sue, and a multitude of proud grandparents. Maternal grandparents are Darrell and Marilyn Clements of rural Nashville. In addition, the new arrival has two sets of maternal great-grandparents: Mr. and Mrs. Paul Clements of Charlotte and Mr. and Mrs. Lawrence Tyler of Vermontville, plus a maternal great-great-grandmother, Mrs. Mabie Miller of Big Rapids. On the paternal side, the baby has grandparents, Mr. and Mrs. Ronald W. Lea of Bellevue, and three great-grandparents: Mr. and Mrs. Lyle Smith, also of Bellevue, and Mrs. Helen Lea of Charlotte.

Mrs. Ednah McConnell, a former Nashville resident now of Battle Creek and a sister of Mrs. Viola Beystrum of Nash- ville, has been quite ill for the past two weeks, but is now improved. Mrs. Beystrum reports that Ednah very much enjoyed receiving a get-well card from her friends at the Nashville Nutrition Site, where she is an occasional visitor when in town to see her sister. Mr. and Mrs. Clarence (Margaret) Reid of Nashville were in Battle Creek last Wednesday to call on his sister and brother-in-law, Ethel and Frank Shaver, and also his brother and sister-in-law, Charles and Ruth Reid. Mrs. John (Marge) Hartwell of rural Nashville is recovering well at home following recent hospitalization at Pennock to straighten her knee, which had stiffened following a serious fracture sustained in an accident this past summer. She had spent several weeks in traction after the mishap, and had had a pin inserted in the leg. Mrs. Clyde Benton of Nashville was taken to Pennock Hospital by Nashville ambulance last Wednesday morning after being rescued from the Thornapple River. Cries for help were heard by Mrs. James Jarman who lives near the river. She notified Don Langham, a nearby neighbor, who immediately took his boat out to investigate. He located Mrs. Benton near the end of the State Street riverbank, and pulled her from the water. Meantime, Mrs. Jarman had notified authorities and the Nashville ambulance, fire truck and boat had been brought to the scene, and were on hand when Langham brought Mrs. Benton ashore. She was then transported to Hastings by the local ambulance. The Golden Agers of Nashville United Methodist Church will meet for a noon potluck lunch in the Community House on Friday, November 9.

Fortunately, there were no flames, only smoke, from a creosote build-up in a chimney at the residence. Nashville firemen responded to the alarm shortly after 8:30 a.m. Saturday. An old-fashioned aroma, reminiscent of “Granny’s” kitchen, greets shoppers at the entrance to Carl’s Market now. As soon as one crosses the portal, the tempting scent leads one to the northwest comer of the store to discover a bountiful array of fresh-baked goods. Breads, rolls, pies, cookies and donuts are among the wide assortment which boggles the mind as shoppers try to decide on a favorite choice or “one of each.” Wednesday marked the first day of the bakery’s operation. While much of Nashville is still sleeping, cheifbakers Faye Salyers and Jeanette Joseph are turning out the first batches in a huge quantity of delicious, daily goodies. They work with shining new stainless steel equipment recently installed in the bakery comer, and at day’s end have produced enough “home-baked” goods to feed all of Nashville, Vermontville and vicinity> Congratulations to Mr. and Mrs. George J.

Wednesdays November 7. 1979 — Page 3 Lydia Burchett of Dowling won a gold plush upholstered sewing rocker for bringing eight visitors to the final Sunday of Hillbilly Month at the Nashville Baptist Church, October 28. In a “Hatfield-McCoy feud” with the Lake Center Bible Church at Portage, the local church topped their opponent by busting all previous Sunday School attendance records at Nashville Baptist Church. In the month of October, they had a total Sunday School attendance of 3,875, averaging 969 per week. There were 962 persons in Sunday School at the local church when the tinal count was made October 28. As a result of their victory, members of the local congregation were to be treated to free car washes by members of the Portage church, during a 3-hour work session here Satur­ day. In addition, the staff of the local church was to be treated to dinner by the staff of the Portage church. As a final prank, the old-fashioned outhouse that had temporarily adorned the lawn of the local church on Phillips Street was delivered by dark of night to the Portage church. The public is invited to attend a film, “A Distant Thun­ der,” depicting the tribulation period at the end of the world, to be shown at the Nashville Baptist Church at 7 p.m. Sunday services, November 25. Seventeen members of the local Girl Scout Troop No. 221, under the direction of leader Mrs. Kathy Brzycki^ par­ ticipated in the recent unveiling ceremony of a new trefoil and identification at the office and training center for the Glowing Embers Girl Scout Council in Kalamazoo.

This strange procession wended its way into Nashville, terminating at the Pennock’s Francis Street home where the team was stabled in a barn. Now it was time to bring “Kaiser Bill” on the scene. “I tied a knot in Walter’s tail to hitch a rope around the dummy, continued Adams. “We wanted to tie Am impromptu parade, staged the day an armistice ended the first World the rope around the Kaiser’s War, saw "Kaiser Bill," Germany's deposed monarch, dragged in effigy down neck but it kept pulling his Nashville's Main Street.

There, I turned around to head south again but lost him along the way.” Local youngsters seized the opportunity to stomp and kick the dummy. Some “shot” him with toy guns. While the real “Kaiser Bill” continued to live in comfortable exile for the next 20 years, Nashville’s version of the German leader did not fare so well. “When the kids were done with him, they took him to the Thornapple River and threw him in,” concluded Adams. “They drowned Kaiser Bill.” Nashville News continued— Departments dispatched units to backup the local police department in quelling a reported disturbance at a local bar. Nashville was saddened to learn of the death Friday of two members of the community, and one former village resident. Mrs. Willard (Goldie) Helsel of Reed Street died shortly after admittance to Pennock Hospital. She had been ill three weeks. Goldie and her first husband, the late Watkin Nicholas, owned and operated the former Nicholas Ap­ pliance store in Nashville, moving here from Detroit in 1949. She continued to operate the business after his death in 1962, until her marriage to Willard Helsel in 1973. Also passing away Friday was Orla Belson of Sherman St., a lifelong area resident and former Maple Grove Township farmer. He was a patient at Barry County Medical Care Facility, following recent confinement at Pennock Hospital. He was married in 1909 to the former Percie Marshall. She died in 1953. His second wife, Bertine Deller, died in 1967. Richard Graham, 29, a former Nashville resident, died Friday at his home in Delton following a lengthy illness. He was the son of the late Seth and Rachel Graham of Nash­ ville, and was married in 1970 to the former Vickie Lundstrum of Nashville.

Harold Willits of Nashville is the owner of many teams of horses at his home on Sherman St. Harold’s herd of horses pull covered wagons, buggies, old-fashioned cutters, stage coaches, race carts, loads of logs and more. But, Harold doesn’t have to feed his crew or have a barn for his horses because his animals are part of his world of miniature replicas of horse drawn vehicles of all types which he creates from scratch and from kits. The hobby brings him an endless amount of pleasure because he has always had a love for horses. Many years back, he broke horses and drove teams himself. “I enjoy working with horses. I’ve broken a lot of them. “Horses are just like kids. The quieter you handle them, the easier they are to handle,” said Harold. But there’s something more than pleasure that keeps Harold busy con­ structing a vehicle from the past. Engrained in his hobby is a desire to preserve an important part of history when horse drawn vehicles comprised the mode of transportation on the farm and in the city. Through his hobby, he wants kids of the present and future to be able to see what transportation was all about before the dawn of the horseless carriage. In constructing various vehicles, he tries to make all the various components as authentic as possible. “I don’t make anything that won’t work,” says Harold. What is especially unique about the horses that he buys to pull the rigs are the tiny but complex harnesses and bridles that he makes for the horses. All are authentic and are workable. The various straps are detachable with small “hooks and eyes.” Since the first feature story on Harold appeared in the Maple Valley News, the retired Lapeer County Road Commission employee has added many new miniatures to his collections. A current project is a horse drawn hearse which has consumed over 50 hours of Harold’s time already. He still finds time to enjoy “tinkering around on the farm ” too. ij*L ij*L '< *j « ■ ••l»Z •* •J l»Z at2SS>><S' s< >SS S fell's >ssS e £:» iisA isA 1,Si 1 mJ ‘ZS* .S Si * ire,kS , kS IS **'W * 1 Sis is sfefcd Harold Willits latest project is making a horse drawn hearse. All the various parts are "working" including the. spring work which is authentic. Plans call for a team of white Arabians to pull the black hearse. (Maple Valley News photos) “One of Willits favorites is the team of Belgian horses pulling a covered wagon. They are a team of stallions so I put a jockey stick' between them so they won't fight, just like you would do if they were real,” he says. Horses are just like kids. The quieter you handle them the easier they are to handle.

November 7, 1979 — Page 8 MAPLE VALLEY SCHOOLS ANNUAL FINANCIAL REPORT Board of Education Maple Valley Schools Nashville-Vermontville, BUILDING AND SITE FUND TOTAL EXPENDITURES, OUTGOING TRANSFERS & OTHER TRANSACTIONS Gentlemen: We have examined the balance sheets of the various funds of the Maple Valley Schools, Nashville-Vermontville, Michigan as of June 30, 1979 and the related statements of revenues, expenditures, and changes in fund balance for the year then ended. Our examination was made in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards prescribed for Michigan school districts and accordingly included such checks of the accounting records and other auditing procedures we considered necessary in the circumstances. In harmony with the requirements of the State of Michigan, the School District has capitalized and amortized school bus costs. This practice, in our opinion, is not in accordance with generally accepted fund accounting principles. In our opinion, except for the treatment of bus costs referred to in the preceding paragraph, the financial statements presented herewith show fairly the financial position of the various funds of the Maple Valley Schools, Nashville-Vermont­ ville, Michigan at June 30, 1979, and the operating results for the year then ended in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles applied on a basis consistent with the preceding year.

The number of full time equated classroom teachers was ninety four (94) during the 1978-79 school year. The ratio of pupils to certified employees holding valid Michigan teacher certificates was 19.2 to 1. Certified employees includes school administrators. The financial information is taken from the school annual financial report and'the audit report filed with the State Department of Education. Copies of the annual report and school audit are available at the school administration office if anyone wishes to see one. There were thirty-nine, separate accounts held in the trust and agency fund at the close of the school year amounting to $23,620.82. General receipts during the year amounted to $75,519.12 compared with expenditures of $71,631.31. The school district ended the school year June 30, 1979 in good financial condition with a cash balance of $417,932 including the petty cash fund. During the past school year the amount of taxes receivable decreased from $8,479 to $4,494. General indications are tthat the cash balance will be reduced during the 1979-80 school year considering the lower percentage increase in state aid support as related to increased expenditures. It will be necessary to closely review the financial condition of the school district in the spring when making plans for the coming school year. Festival of Missions at Baptist Church First Baptist Church, 309 E. Woodlawn Avenue, Hastings, announces its “Festival of Missions”, to be held November 10-18. A “Kick-off Dinner” to get acquainted with the missionaries, will be held on Saturday, November 10, 6:15 P.M., at the church’s fellowship hall. Special speakers during the conference will be Rev. and Mrs. Wesley Carlson, missionaries to Africa, Rev. Arthur Cunningham, executive director of Hiawatha Baptist Missions and his wife, and Dr. DonaldVeldt, dean of the Grand Rapids Baptist College. The conference format will feature a Bible Study and brunch Monday, Wednesday and Friday mornings at 10:30 a.m. and interaction groups nightly, Monday through Thursday at 7:30 p.m. at the church. Added features will include a ladies tea on Tuesday, November 13, 10:30 a.m. and a men’s dinner on Friday, November 16, 6:30 p.m. The teens will enjoy an “African Safari” on Saturday, November 17, 12:30 p.m. The atmosphere is in­ formal and the public is cordially invited to attend first Baptist’s “Festival of Missions.” Free nursery care is available. Phone 945-9554 for Want-Ads ELECTION DAY - Elections for municipal officers and other issueswill be held throughout Michigan this Tuesday, although not in all cities. Local government is that which most often has a direct effect on your life - so do your duty and VOTE! TEACHER STRIKES - New before the House is HB 4645, which gives public employees other than police, firemen and state civil service the right to strike. Vigorous floor debate is expected on whether or not to include binding arbitration in this. PUBLIC SALARIES - Lt. Gov. Brickley has signed into law SB 504, which requires that the salaries of employees and officials of Michigan public schools, colleges and universities be a matter of public record, provided on request to any citizen. CREDIT CARDS - The House will soon be voting on HB 4737, which prohibits the practice of denying a credit card to someone solely or primarily because of the location of that person’s home-address. However, the bill applies only to store or business credit cards and not to bank credit cards like Visa or Mastercharge. This is another “anti-redlining” proposal. TRAVEL REGULATION - A house vote is scheduled this week on HB 4523, which Would establish a licensing and regulation procedure for “sellers of travel” in Michigan; this would effectively mean retail travel agents. It requires disclosure notices in travel sales; sets up a reconciliation procedure for complaints; and permits court action and fines againsjt an agent. SUNSET SUPPORT - Common Cause, the non-partisan “citizens’ lobby,” has announced its support for amend­ ments to SB 75 which would set specific termination dates for state agencies and-or programs. SB 75 now provides for a 10-year review process, but adding termination dates would place the burden of proof on an agency or program and require it to justify its existence. TAX REFUNDS - A new law with a delayed effect is HB 4714, which requires that a separate check be issued for property tax rebates. However, it does not take effect until next year, so the 1979-tax-year refunds will still include property and income tax refunds in the same check. FISH WAR - The Attorney General is appealing a court ruling against enforcement of state fishing regulations on Grand Traverse Bay Indians. He argues that the Grand Traverse Indians are not exempted through treaties of 1836 and 1855, as are other tribes of Indians elsewhere. EGG SLUMP - Egg and chick production is down this year in Michigan. The September crop of 122 million eggs is 2 percent below last year; the average rate of lay is 3 percent below last year. Also, only 320,000 eggs were hatched in September, 52 percent less than for 1978. Part-Time CUSTODIAL HELP APPLY..... Immunize now!

Wednesday. November 7, 1979 — Page 11 Goodies fresh from the oven...at Carl's Market A wonderful world of smells — freshly baked breads and other goods — seem to have as much punch as the legendary Pied Piper of Hamlin when it comes to attracting customers over to the northwest corner of Carl’s Market these days. The new bakery depart­ ment is what is causing all the fuss and it seems to be a welcome addition to the store. A batch of 180 loaves of white bread baked on Thursday disappeared like hot cakes that day, reports Faye Salyers. Faye and Jeanette Joseph are the chief bakers in the venture at the Nashville grocery store. They recently attended a week-long session of classes at Rich’s Bake-Off in Appleton, Wisconsin to learn all the latest and most delicous techniques in the baking business. Faye says the bakery uses Rich’s flour and ingredients. Donuts, cookies and breads may be purchased while they are still hot, if customers make their purchases in the morning when the goodies are just being brought out of the ovens. The baking starts at 6 a.m. on business days and the ladies, using brand new stainless steel equipment, turn out a fabulous array of baked goods each day\ Besides the breads (white,rye, wheat grain, etc.), cookies, and donuts, there are coffeecakes, chocolate long-johns, cinnamon rolls, a variety of pies, and cakes. Rolls sometimes onioh ones or hoagies are sometimes on the bakery menu too. The bakeiy also invites special orders to help you make th^t birthday party, shower, or other occasion extra special. Every day now at Carl's Market in Nashville, Chief Bakers Faye Salyers and Jeanette Joseph harvest an arra_y of fresh baked goodies in the new bakery corner at the store. Shown with a sampling of the goodies which range from pies to breads are the bakery staff Ada Yaudes, Lou Hansbarger, Jeanette Joseph, Cathy Haag and Faye Salyers. Take “Time out for arts Yummy is the only way to describe the delicious goodies at Carl's as Kelly Eastman takes a big bite into a cookie.

Wednesday, November?, 1979 — Page 12 We’ve got plenty of grains! By John E. Gergen Extension Agriculture Agent In a phrase, we’ve got plenty of grains! The question is, how close to reality will be the development of the expected utilization? Dr. George K. Dike, Michigan State University Cooperative Extension Service agricultural economist, has a run-down on expectations. Corn It now appears that another record corn crop is in the making; the crop, is estimated at 7.39 billion bushels. Equally surprising is the carryover from last year’s supply now estimated to be well over a billion bushels. The same carryover is expected next year. An interesting adjustment in the USDA balance sheet is the 35 million bushel increases in carryout from the 1978 crop. It seems our ex­ port target was not reached. So our total supply to work with in the October 1979September 1980 corn marketing year is now projected to be 8.66 billion bushels. Can this volume be distributed throughout world domestic and utilization channels without offering discouraging low prices to producers? Well, in the first place, Uncle Sam does have a farmer-owned reserve and a modest holding of government-owned corn. These categories totaled two-thirds of a billion bushels according to the latest available figures. As reported earlier, the trigger price was reached and farmer-owned reserves can go into free market channels, but it is not at all clear what course of action farmers will follow with these holdings. Domestic feed use is ex­ pected to increase by 50 million to 300 million bushels over last year/To harden up prices to show only gradual these estimates one needs to improvement from harvest watch the actions of hog levels until reports about producers (when will the Brazil and Argentina crops prospect of red ink cause begin arriving. them to quit expanding?); poultry producers (same Wheat The big story on wheat is situation); cattle feeders continued m market (are they really feeding that the smaller number for a much strength.

Estimates for use have also gone up but not as much as supply. Therefore, expected carryout next Aug. 31 could be over 350 million bushels. This would be the largest carryout in recent years and should effectively moderate the price at 50 cents to a dollar per bushel under the 1978 crop average. Nevertheless, soybeans are linked to speculative fever including weather in the Southern Hemisphere, the price of gold, the value of the dollar and just plain mythology. Look for soybean John E. Gergen Extension Agriculture Agent If dry weather continues in the central part of the state, this will be one of the best years ever for deep tillage, or. subsoiling, to loosen compacted soil. “All soils can be ex­ cessively compacted, often to depths below 12 inches, if heavy equipment packs wet Certain holiday traditions are always special.

A potluck supper will be held and those who attend are asked to bring one dish to pass and their own table service. “Sixty years with the American Legion’’ will be the topic of the program. Dean Hansen, historian of the Childs Demerey Post 222 of Vermontville, has prepared an interesting evening with local veterans as guests. The home of the Legion was erected in 1909 as a memorial fund to the GAR by Mrs. Clare Squier Vaugan, sister of the two Squier boys and the other ninty boys and doctors who served in the Civil War. An extra treat after the program will be a demon­ stration of the making of peanut brittle candy by Robert Gierman of Cortland. The public is invited to attend.

Farmers should not deep­ till unless their soil is severely compacted. Under average conditions, deep tillage will not increase crop yields. “If there are few or no roots below plow depth, subsoiling is likely to do some good,” Gergen ex­ plains. “Standing water, slow ifiltration rates, slow drainage by tile or excessive erosion by water may be clues that soil is compacted. Lodging, malformed roots and off-colored leaves are other symptoms associated with compacted soil.” Subsoiling generally should be done in Michigan in the fall when soil moisture levels are normally low. Tillage of wet soil causes puddling and decreases yields. Subsoilers also should not be used on soils which do not drain well, for water may collect in the subsoil. This delays subsequent tillage treatments and planting. “A field may require deep tillage one year and not the next,” Gergen says. “Cer­ tain crops, such as sugar beets, are harvested by very heavy equipment, which can compact soil as deep as two feet.” Yields of deep-tilled fields generally increase more on soils which have been artifically compacted than on soils which are compacted naturally. Though the reason for this is unclear, Gergen says the naturally com­ pacted zone may be too thick for deep tillage tools to penetrate.

Did yod have goodluck with your Halloween In­ surance purchased from “The Group” in our town. Very enterprizing. Especially when the super salesman can sell to the Insurance Co.

Do be thinking about this. It is important. Mothers been telling me of the things she did as a little girl on Halloween. The young people would have “Pounder Parties” for their neighbors or friends down the block more unfortunate than them. It would be a lb. of butter, pound of flour, sugar, or home canned fruit or vegetables. Theywouldput the basket of goodies on the door step than pound on the side of the house or door to bring them, then watch and receive their thank you when they came to the door. Something different I agree. Thought about this a lot & how did it get turned around? Thanks to the Elon Baker family for the wedding cake they left to go with dur coffee at Sunday morning Services at the Methodist Church. It was appreciated by all.

Nash blasts insurance bill “High risk” policyholders won a large victory at the expense of outstatesuburban Detroit motorists when the House passed a controversial essential insurance bill Tuesday, State Representative Ernest W. Nash (R-Dimondale) charged today. Nash said he voted again­ st the measure because it is contrary to the free market philosophy and will increase auto and homeowners’ inin­ surance rates in the 56th District. He said he is not sure how much insurance rates in his district will in­ crease as a result of the 71 legislation. The measure has now been passed by the House and Senate and is awaiting Governor Milliken’s signature. “Statistics which have been used by the insurance industry for years are statistically verifiable and have been the basis for the establishment of insurance rates,” Nash said. “As a result of this legislation, the free market system will be disrupted and will cause insurers to set their prices at a high level since they will not know what sort of losses Notice! All advertising and display and want-ads deadline will be Sat. at 1 o'clock — Maple Valley News to expect based on new factors introduced.” Nash said the bill “ignores real facts” in order to achieve a better social system for persons who are “high risk” policyholders while shifting the burden of payment onto “low risk” persons. “This legislation ignores some of those facts in order to achieve a social result and this will mean higher rates for many drivers who benefit from the present groupings by being careful drivers,” he added. Nash also predicted that the about-to-be-signed bill will cause “headaches for the insurance industry” as well as inequities in the marketplace. “This bill is an attempt by some lawmakers to make policyholders in outstate areas subsidize some Detroit drivers who are considered ‘high risks’.” “Why should people who choose to be careful drivers to keep their rates low have to pay for careless drivers?” Nash asked. “It’s just not a fair plan for the majority of Michigan residents who will be forced to pick up the tab.” "I'M SAVING 154 ON EVERY GALLON OF GAS I BUY." “With the price of gasoline these days, I want to be sure I’m getting my money’s worth from every tankful. So I’m doing four simple things to save gas—and it’s like getting a 15« discount on every gallon! “Just slowing down from 70 to 55 mph on the highway saves enough gas to equal a 6e a gallon discount. Keeping my car tuned saves 4tf a gallon more. And I’m saving another nickel a gallon just by using radial tires and keeping them correctly inflated.

From the first morning after arrival, they’ve been eating their full ration of pre­ conditioning feed and are doing exceptionally well. We believe that the 4-H’ers will find this group of calves in excellent condition, ready to do the job. This is the procedure we will follow on Sale Day, the 17th. Interested 4-H’ers from Van Buren will have the first rounds of choices of the calves. After all of the Van Buren ■ kids have selected their animals, the sale will be open to 4-H’ers from other counties. Members in­ terested should register the day of the sale. Their names will be placed in a hat In another hat will be numbers corresponding to the number of registered members (1 thru?). At “draw” time, a name and a number will be drawn. The named member will select his calf based on the drawn number. In this way, the last kid’s name drawn still could get No. 1 choice of calves. Calves will be selected in order from pens of calves with specific weight ranges. That is, there will be pens of -calves weighing 500-510 lbs., 511-520 lbs., etc., insofar as we are able to get uniform weights. Prices for each calf within a particular pen will be posted so that members may make intelligent choices. A clerk and teller will be on station to accept payment for the calves the day of the sale. The Sale time schedule is as predictable as Michigan weather but here are the plans: ’DATE: Saturday, November 17. LOCATION: Van Buren Youth Fairgrounds, C.R. 681 at Red Arrow Highway, midway between ' Hartford and Lawrence. ■ • TIME SCHEDULES: 6-9 a.m. - Weigh, tag and sort steers; 9-10 am. Participants look at steers; 10 a.m. - Noon - Steer Sale. The calves have been priced to reflect the actual costs involved in getting them to sale day. That in­ cludes purchase price, commission (at Baker, Montana), trucking, medications, feed and labor during the pre-conditioning time. The JLPA wants to “break even” on this sale, so you’ll find good calves at very acceptable prices. (This article has been furnished by the Barry County Cooperative Ex­ tension Service.

I promise not to smoke for 24 hours (and maybe longer), or to help a friend quit.’ American Cancer Societ Join the ‘great American Smokeout’ Smokers in Vermontville and Nashville are being encouraged by the American Cancer Society to take a day off from smoking Thursday by joining “The Great American Smokeout’'. The Society’s attack is aimed at one of the most difficult habits to break smoking. The aim of the campaign is to get smokers to pledge a day without cigarettes, cigars, or pipes. Research conducted by the Cancer Society indicates that there are more than 50 million smokers in the United States. Surveys consistently show that large numbers of cigarette smokers want to quit. The Great American Smokeout gives them the opportunity to prove to themselves that they can even if just for a day. Because they join the Smokeout in large numbers, they reinforce each other in the attempt. Last year, 26.6 percent of the nation’s cigarette smokers participated... nearly 14,500,000 persons. Of these, about 3,600,000 made it all the way through the day, and 2,400,000 were still not smoking two weeks later. Pledge cards are available, but not necessary. Any smoker can participate. Cost of the U.S. smoking habit is an average of $400 per year for a two pack per day smoker. Lung cancer strikes nearly 100,000 persons per year in the United States. Eighty percent of these could have been prevented. Why? Because 80 percent of all lung cancer victims were moderate to heavy smokers.

The group is undertaking the work for its “Building Our American Com­ munities” project this year. Eleven FFA members who are students in Keith Greenwald’s Vocational Agriculture II class have been participating in the project during some of their class time for the past several weeks. They have planted two shrubs in front of the chapel in the cemetery and the other 12 evergreen yews by the mausoleum. To add a completed land­ scaping look to the work, the FFA members also have filled in the area with small stones and black plastic and installed edging around the spots. Prior to the basic planting project, the students spent time digging out the old bushes which detracted from the landscape. American Legion members honored By Ava Kroger Members of the American Legion were honored at the Vermontville Historical Society meeting Thursday, and it was an especially enjoyable evening as so many persons in Ver­ montville’s past history were mentioned and remembered. Veterans who attended with their wives were: Jack Rathburn, Korean war veteran who served asmaster of ceremonies in the absence of Dean Hansen (World War II) who was ill; John Hokauson of World War I; Arthur Shetenhelm, a charter member of post 222, of World War I and II; Carl Thrun of World War II; Bob Ripley of World War II; Gerald Thrasher of World War II; Jim Zemke of the Korean War; Don Martin, Korean; Dave Smythe of Sunfield, Navy; Flossie Corey, WAC; and Darwin Alldaffer, Viet Nam War. The American Legion was organized in France in 1919 by soldiers waiting to come home. Dr. C. L. D. McLaughlin was the first Legion Com­ mander in Vermontville, followed by Dana Hammond, Vance Barber, Ernest Austin, Gene Dickey, John Lozo, Wayne Bosworth and others. A Mrs. Squire Vaughn gave $800 toward a hall, and the Barber State Bank gave a deed to the A.L. for second floor of their building. Many activities of the A.L. were mentioned, such as putting new flags on Veterans’ graves graves for Memorial Day, and planning exercises for that day, a member acting as Post Service Director giving a scholarship for Boys Week, allowing band boosters to fry sausage at their hall before Syrup Festival and at Festival time serving thousands of pancakes, sausage and that delicious Vermontville maple syrup. After the meeting. Bob Gierman of Portland made a batch of his own brand of peanut brittle candy, which was auctioned off by Robert Todd, proceeds to Historical Society. New 1980 officers for the Historical Society are: President, Martha Zemke; 1st Vice President, Betty Thrasher; 2nd Vice President, Ava Kroger; Secretary and Treasurer, Francis Snyder; Program Chairman, Don Shepherd; Trustees, Kate Snyder and Esther Shepard. �The Maple Valley News, Nashville, Wednesday, November 14, 1979 — Page 2 Nashville News Thanks to Ethel'and Jerry Bandfield of Nashville, our “Memories of the Past” got a real “shot in the arm” last week. Over the years the Bandfields had fallen heir to an extensive collection of news clippings, mostly obituaries of prominent Nashville folks and various business items from the 1930’s to mid-1950’s. The stories had been saved and pasted in scrapbooks by the late Mrs. Ed (Clara) Hannemann. Several years ago the Bandfields also received a good amount df photos, mostly of the Thornapple River area and old grist mill, taken by the late Otto Lass. Having had these “goodies” stashed in a closet for nine years now, Ethel decided to pass them on to us for use in our local history research. There is an absolute wealth of information in the yellowed pages of Mrs. Hannemann’s scrapbooks, and Otto’s photography will help illustrate several upcoming “Memories” on Nashville’s past. Our sincere thanks and appreciation to the Banfields for their generosity in sharing this treasure of information with us, that we might share it with readers. The Bandfield’s gift brought to mind a story, “Coin­ cidence: Is It Black Magic or Blind Chance,” .written by Edward Ziegler and published in the August 1979 issue of The Reader’s Digest. Although we had a copy of Mary White’s obituary to write this week’s “Memories” about her, we were stumped in establishing dates of her business operation in Nashville. After several phone calls that turned up only generalities, we were at a definite impasse on the story. Then, like a bolt out of the blue, Ethel Bandfield ap­ peared with the scrapbooks. Curiously leafing through the first one, we immediately spotted the exact news story we needed to complete the Mary White article: the Nashville News account for her sale of the Main Cafe to the Howells, complete with all necessary background information on Mary’s earlier restaurant. Somehow that seemed to us like more than mere coincidence, as are many such instances detailed in Ziegler’s story. An all-day shopping spree in Chicago at the Multi-level Schumburg Mall, billed as the world’s largest, was a treat for a Greyhound busload of Nashville and Vermontville women last Wednesday. Under the guidance of Mrs. Greta Firster of Vermontville, the excursion left Nashville shortly after 6 a.m. and didn’t return until midnight. Nearly all the ladies came home toting a quantity of parcels, after a delightful day of browsing and buying in the approximately 200 stores located in the four-story mall. Only one man, in addition to the bus driver, was present on the excursion bus which had only two empty seats with a 42-passenger capacity. While the local folks were busy hunting bargains in Chicago, many shoppers here in town were doing the same at Helen’s Huwe’s gigantic semi-annual rummage sale in the old Nazarene Church quarters on North Main. This event has become such a crowd-pleaser that parking space in that area is often at a premium during the 3-day affair and “standing room only” best describes the scene at the checkout lane inside the building. Collectors and just plain thrifty folks look forward to Helen’s sales, which she spends days on end organizing. It’s a treat just to view the amazing variety of items she is able to pack into the limited display While the guys are out hunting...

"The Mirrors image" ^ipeMlMOMi iuiaas„ CALL FOR AN APPOINTMENT 852~9192 Nashville area, using both “on” and “under” table surfaces to best advantage. Saturday callers on Mrs. Caroline Jones of Nashville were Mrs. Marquita Clements of Chicago, Mrs. Evalee Marshall and Mrs. Marcelle Tooke, both of Battle Creek, and Mrs. Geneva Novak of rural Hastings. Sunday, Mrs. Jones ac­ companied Mr. and Mrs. Carroll Lamie of Nashville to Battle Creek where they spent the day visiting Mr. and Mrs. Robert Jones. Members of Nashville’s Garden Club enjoyed an ex­ cursion to Battle Creek last Tuesday to tour Kingman Museum. They also stopped at the new Naum’s store and enjoyed lunch at Russ’ Restaurant before returning to Nash­ ville. Recent callers on Mrs. Elizabeth Curtis of Nashville were Talbert and Beulah Curtis of Kinsel Highway. Mrs. Viola Beystrum of Nashville enjoyed a recent weekend visit from her son, Robert, of Port Clinton, Ohio. Arriving on Friday, he drove Mrs. Beystnun and her sister, Mrs. Ednah McConnell of Battle Creek, to Hesperia in Oceana County to visit their cousin, Mrs. Lavon Paul. They spent the day and had dinner with her before driving on to Cadillac for an overnight stay. The next day Robert drove his mother and aunt to Elk Rapids for a day of calling on friends there. They returned to Nashville Sunday. On Monday, Robert returned to Ohio delivering Mrs. McConnell to her home in Battle Creek enroute. Weekend visitors of Mrs. Esther Buckley of Nashville were her daughter and family, Vergalene and Edward Olson and daughter, Darcie, of Madison, Wisconsin. Following the Olson’s departure home, Mrs. Buckley spent Sunday af­ ternoon with Mr. and Mrs. Lewis Marble of Hastings. Fred and Marguerite Ackett of Nashville enjoyed a recent Sunday morning breakfast get-together with her family, at the Steak House Restaurant in Nashville. Present were her sister, Mrs. Marian Dean, and her brothers and their wives, Mr. and Mrs. Leo Baker and Mrs. and Mrs. Vance Baker, all of Charlotte. Nashville firemen were called south of town early last Monday afternoon when an individual cutting wood on Maple Grove Road inadvertently felled a tree across a power line, downing it. The firefighters stood by until a repair crew from the power company arrived on the scene. Fortunately the only problem was a few leaves ignited by the crackling line, creating small blazes which were promptly stomped out by the firemen. The Nashville Fire Dept, answered a call Tuesday evening to extinquish a kitchen fire at the home of Mrs. Sena French (the historic Gribben house on South Main Street). The blaze which originated on the kitchen range resulted in a burned exhaust hood, scorched cabinets and formica, some damage to a nearby wall and door casing, and a scorched ceiling. Although the fire was quickly under control, the variety of damaged surfaces will probably require rather extensive repair. Officers for the new year were elected at last Wednesday’s meeting of the United Methodist Women, held at the par­ sonage on Chapel Drive. Chosen as president of the organization was Evelyn Mason; as vice-president, Loretta Pixley; as secretary, Helen Seller; and as treasurer, Nita Brown. Programs for the upcoming year were also outlined at the Wednesday evening meeting. Entertainment was furnished by Evelyn Mason showing beautiful slides of the Caribbean, one of the many exciting areas she and her husband have visited in their frequent travels. George B. Dean of Nashville read with interest last week’s story on the “magic lantern” discovered recently at Putnam Public Library during an attic insulation job. George recalls his family also had one of the kerosene-powered con­ traptions, an early version of a slide projector, which furnished many happy hours of entertainment. Mrs. Jane Shoup of Nashville was the featured speaker at last Monday’s meeting of the Friends of the Library at Putnam Public Library. Mrs. Shoup, a library staff member, read to the group from a notebook collection she has typed from old news clippings about the Charles Putnam family and the history of the library. She also talked of the William Boston family. He settled here in 1877 and founded the Boston brick and tile works near the present-day Wheeler Marine. During Monday evening’s business meet­ ing of FOL members discussed twb potential fund-raising projects: one, a customer-ordered bake sale; and, secondly, possible publication of a collection of favorite recipes of local women. In addition to those contributed by FOL members, a suggestion was offered to contact senior citizens in the community for their favorite recipes. Each would be published listing the contributor’s name, and the book would be offered for sale to the public. Proceeds would be used by the FOL for many projects they have planned for the benefit of the local library. Nashville churches will hold a combined community Thanksgiving eve service at the Assembly of God Church on Reed Street at 7 p.m. next Wednesday, November 21. Host pastor Rev. Robert Taylor will lead the service; Rev. Leonard Putnam of the Nashville United Methodist Church will deliver the sermon. The public is cordially invited to attend this event. Rev. Lloyd Mead, a native of the Barryville area and a well-known former Methodist pastor in this community, was hospitalized at Pennock last week. Rev. Mead and his wife, Lola, had just recently returned to Michigan from their retirement home in St. Petersburg, Florida, and had taken up residence at the Barry County Medical Care Facility. A change has been announced in the date for showing the film, “A Distant Thunder”, at the Nashville Baptist Church. The program, originally scheduled for November 25th is noW set for December 2. The movie depicting the tribulation By Susan Hinckley period at the end of the world will be shown during 7 p.m. Sunday services at the church. The Sveden House in Lansing will be the scene of the first annual Workers’ Banquet for the Nashville Baptist Church. Honored at the 8:30 p.m. Saturday event, December 1, will be workers in all departments of the church. Awards will be presented to church workers at the dinner. November has been designated Senior Citizen Month at the Nashville Baptist Church, with special honors going to various persons in that age category. Honored last Sunday was the longest-wed couple in attendance at services that day. A celebration in honor of her 75th birthday surprised and delighted Mrs. Veda Guy of Nashville recently. The Sunday potluck dinner affair, held in the Community House of the Nashville United Methodist Church on November 4, was arranged and hosted by Mrs. Guy’s two sons and their wives: Mr. and Mrs. Jerry Guy of Augusta and Mr. and Mrs. Kendall Guy of Bristol, Indiana. In attendance at the event were friends and relatives from Marshall, Hastings, Dowling, Kalamazoo, and Assyria, and many from the local community. Those-from out-of-state came from Indiana. Many represented long-standing friendships with Mrs. Guy, some in excess of fifty years. The last time little Nick Childs flew to Michigan he was accompanied by his mother. But last Thursday the 5-yearold lad boarded a jet in California and made the journey on his own. He admits the adventure was a little scary at first, though not for long. During a holiday from school, he will spend two-and-a-half weeks here visiting his maternal grandparents, Carl and Louise Bahs of Nashville and his father, David Childs of Vermontville, phis seeing great­ grandparents, cousins, and other relatives. Nick’s mother is Mrs. Geri (Bahs) Childs of Redwood City, Calif. Mr. and Mrs. Jeff (Rae) Murphy and daughter, Kathryn, of Chicago arrived in town October 26 for a weekend visit with their parents, Mr. and Mrs. Dave Murphy of Nashville and Mr. and Mrs. Roger Hosey of Kinsel Highway. Saturday evening, Roger and Kay Hosey hosted a party in celebration of baby Kathryn’s first birthday. Present in addition to the Hoseys and their son, Chuck, and Jeff and Rae Murphy, were Mr. and Mrs. Dave Murphy, Miss Cinda Murphy of Lansing, Quentin Ward of Nashville, and Les Murphy of East Lansing. Following the weekend visit here, Jeff returned to Chicago where he is currently engaged in graduate studies in the para-legal field at Roosevelt University. His wife and daughter remained in Nashville for an extended visit with relatives, and returned to Chicago last Wednesday. Mrs. Lonny Kienutske read with interest last week’s account of the 133 trick-or-treaters tallied at the Fred Ackett residence on Reed Street. Sue Kienutske also kept track of Halloween callers at her Washington Street home and reports she had 308. Now she wonders if any other area of town was more heavily “hit” by the local goblins. Now visiting in the “down under” continent of Australia is Mrs. Omer (Mary Jean) Dean and her mother, Mrs. Beatrice Code, both of rural Nashville. They are spending a month at Melbourne, seeing the sights and calling on Mrs. Code’s grandson, Jerry Newland. He is a chemical engineer' and pharmacist, and plans to make a trip to the USA next year. The Nashville ladies arrived in Australia after a 21­ hour flight, and are enjoying tropical climate, according to a postcard received last week by Mrs. Dean’s son, Richard, of Nashville.

The monies expected in November from EPA represent the grant eligible portion of the cost of three parcels of land the village needs to construct a new lagoon and - irrigation wastewater treatment facility on Brumm Road, northwest of the village. One 80-acre parcel, belonging to John J. and Montiel Dull of Nashville, was acquired by the village Tuesday at a cost of $65,000., council officials disclosed at Thursday’s meeting. The early transaction was necessitated by impending expiration of a purchase option held by the village on the property. Two additional parcels of land, approximately 40 acres with home and outbuildings owned by William and Janice Roberts and ap­ proximately 40 acres of vacant land belonging to Kathryn Luke of Alma, will be acquired as soon as the land reimbursement grant funds are recieved from the EPA. All properties for the project are being purchased in compliance with the U.S. Uniform Relocation Assistance and Real Property Acquisition Policies Act of 1970.

Astute observers of that day believe it may well have been the fabulous cooking of Mary White. Almost like clockwork the crew of the Grand Rapids - to. - Jackson: run would find themselves in Nashville at lunchtime, disembark from their puf­ fing “iron horse”, and head enmasse to the Main Cafe. The out-of-town trainment shared something in com­ mon with Nashville folks. They were all part of Mary’s “family”. “I believe there was not a trainman on that line that Mary couldn’t call by his first name,” observes a Nashville resident who remembers watching the crew trek from the depot to Mary’s eating establishment on South Main. Born in Charlotte in 1892, Mary (Proctor) White came to Nashville in the 1920’s where her winning ways with a skillet and a smile soon endeared her to the local populace. • “During the more than quarter century she lived in Nashville she came to be one of the best loved citizens in the town, and was widely known as a restaurant operator,” noted the Nash­ ville News at Mary’s death in May 1956. Mary had only one im­ mediate survivor, a brother in Lansing, but left to mourn her passing was a large family of friends, representing a wide segment of the local community. “Mary had a heart as big as all get-out,” recalls Mary’s first-cousin-onceremoved, Mrs. Douglas (Wilma Fuller) DeCamp of Nashville. “She was a very sweet lady; everybody liked her.” Wilma rejnembers her as “Aunt” Mary, though she was actually a first cousin to Mrs. DeCamp’s mother, the late Mrs. Fred (Sadie McGinnes) Fuller of Nash­ ville. “Mother and Mary were very close, almost like sisters,” recalls Wilma’s sister, Mrs. Vern (Alice) Marshall of Nashville. “We felt as though she was more of an aunt to us than a cousin,” explains Mrs. Marshall, who recalls Mary as a ‘marvelous person’.” “Aunt Mary was a won­ derful cook,” remembers Mrs. Lawrence (Mary) Jarrard of Nashville, a sister to Wilma and Alice. “Her By Susan Hinckley restaurant was always full every noon.” Mary White had first made her debut in Nashville as a talented baker of fried cakes, which she prepared and sold in her home at 231 South Main Street. In 1928 she opened her “Main Cafe” in the former J. C. Hurd building, just north of Dr. E. T. Morris’ home. (In earlier years, the structure had housed C. J. Scheldt’s pool room.) Featuring home cooking, and specializing in Sunday chicken dinners, Mary soon built up a fine business. “Mary White’s place was THE restaurant in town, as far as eats go,” recollects Dick Mason of Nashville, whose great-aunt, the. late Elsie Tarbell, worked in the Main Cafe a number of years. “It ,was good home­ style food and Mary did all the cooking herself, not just supervising others.” MaSon recounted the story of a traveling salesman who was terribly disappointed when he came through town several years later and could not locate Mary’s cafe. Looking forward to Mary White’s fine cooking had been the highlight of his regular route through this area.

NASHVILLEHARDWARE — FULL FACTORY AUTHORIZED SERVICE — 105 NORTH MAIN STREET, NASHVILLE PHONE 852-0713 Mary White served as cook for girl scouts at Camp Innissfree near Detroit before her restaurant days in Nashville. A later summer (after selling her local cafe in 1943) was spent working at the Grand Hotel on Mackinac Island with her friend Rena Blake of Nashville. (Photo (Photo loaned, loaned, courtesy courtesyJoyce Joyce (Dawson) (Dawson) Baker) Baker) Trainmen, salesmen, rural and village folks from all walks of life - even school children - found irresistible appeal in the warmth of Mary’s hospitality and her bountiful portions of home­ style food. “I ate lunch at Aunt Mary’s restaurant every day when I was in high school,” recalls Mrs. Jarrard. Children were always welcome at the Main Cafe, remembers a village resident who can still reminisce about Mary’s hearty hot beef sandwich served with mashed potatoes and gravy, accompanied by a tall glass of milk - all for 35 cents in the 1930’s. The quality and quantity of Mary White’s menu still evokes praise today. Youngsters of the 1930’s era are also apt to recall Mary’s constant companion - a black cocker spaniel she called “Jill”. The faithful dog accompanied'Mary daily to the restaurant. After 13 years in the location north of the Dr. Morris property (presentday site of Fargo Service) Mary moved her cafe to the corner of Main and Maple Street, taking over the former Zemer Hardware building (present-day Steak House) in 1941. Mary refurbished the old store which had set empty several years following Zemer’s deaths converting it into a spacious restaurant. For almost a year, Mary’s new Main Cafe was Nash­ ville’s only public eating place. But Mary’s health was gradually failing. A diabetic, she was slowly losing vision. In 1943 Mary sold the restaurant to Ransom and Florence Dawson Howell. Fondly known to many as “Alabama,” and a 12-year employee of Mary White’s Main Cafe, Mrs. Howell died only four months after taking over the operation. The restaurant then passed on to a succession of owners. Though no longer con­ nected with the cafe, Mary A lovely lady with a big heart was Mary White, who came to Nashville in the 1920's from Charlotte. Fried cakes prepared and sold at her South Main Street home launched Mary's lifelong food service career. In 1928 she opened her first restaurant in this building (now site of Fargo Service). Her winning ways with a skillet and a smile soon won her many devoted fans; kept her busy here for 13 years.

Present law allows but does not require this; constitutional questions will probably be raised on this proposal. I will support this bill. MIOSHA RULES - Both houses have now approved HB 4532, which specifies that in some cases employers must furnish safety equipment to their employees and sets procedures for the state to shut down work equipment which is deemed to be dangerous. WAYNE COUNTY - The continuing problems of Wayne County have produced SB 652, which would provide for the reorganization of that county’s government; it is now before the Senate, Also, the House has before it HB 4784, which would split off all of that county west of the city of Detroit and create a new county to be known as Suburbia. WETLANDS WAITING - The full House is now con­ sidering Senate Bill 3, which as presently written would immediately bring most of the state’s high-population, highgrowth areas under the procedures designed to preserve and protect wetlands. Smaller areas would have more elaborate procedures, with the result that it w6uld be 4 to 5 years before the whole state is covered. SCHOOL VIOLENCE - The Governor’s Task Force on School Violence and Vandalism has recommended that elementary and secondary school students should have more involvement in school operations including the development ,of a code of conduct. This would help remove the “us-versus-them” attitudes which are believed to have contributed to school violence and vandalism. RACETRACK WINNINGS - The House has concurred in Senate amendments to HB 4531, which would allow racetrack patrons to deduct their winnings from taxable income; also, losses could be deducted from income as long as those losses do not exceed winnings. PRIVACY PROPOSAL - The Senate will soon vote on SJR “D”, which proposes an amendment toihe state constitution which would prohibit the infringement of a person’s right to privacy without due process of law. If two-thirds of each house approve, this will be on the ballot in 1980. NEW CEMETERY :The first National Cemetery to be located in Michigan will be at Fort Custer near Augusta in Kalamazoo County in my District. It will open in late 1983 and will serve veterans in Illinois, Indiana, Ohio, Wisconsin and Minnesota in addition to the 1.2 million veterans in. our own state.

QIPEH FOR BUSINESS wwP Residential Repair, r If Remodeling & Installation BUSHRE PLUMBING VERMONTVILLE — 517-726-0036 • LICENSED MASTER PLUMBER • This time of the year finds many 4-H clubs re­ organizing, and the “Lucky Suns” is no exception. Members are all students at Meadowview School, and all are in some way physically or mentally handicapped. Their handicaps don’t dampen their enthusiasm for 4-H, however, and prac­ tically the whole school is anxiously anticipating the beginning of its third year of 4-H activities. There is one small problem - the club never seems to have enough leaders. The club meets once a week (either Wednesday or Thursday) for two hours in the morning out at the school, to work on sewing, crafts, and indoor gardening projects. ■ The boys are particularly interested in a woodworking project, but there is no leader for this area. Woud you or someone you know, have a couple of hours each week to be. 4-H leaders for these 4-H’ers? The club could use leaders and assistant leaders for the various project areas. If you can help, please contact either Charlotte Wight, at 763-9362 (Bellevue) or Jan Tirrell at the 4-H Office, 543­ 2310. The “Lucky Suns” would like to thank all of you who helped with the program last year. These are: Charlotte Wight, Bellevue; Marilyn Bishop, Bellevue; Ruth Van Vleck, Dick Hill and Kris Bosworth all of Charlotte. Your donations of time, skills and knowledge have been greatly appreciated. We would like to wish you all a very happy and satisfying holiday season and the best of luck in the new year! Harold Christiansen, President CARD OF THANKS I would like to thank everyone who sent cards, flowers, gifts, while I was in the hospital and since I’ve been home. Thank you to my family, friends and neigh­ bors for all their visits, help and food brought in while I am laid-up at home. God_bless all of you.

(tfn) Memories of the past could not retire from her lifelong service of caring and cooking for others. “If anyone came to her hungry,” commented Mrs. DeCamp, “Aunt Mary wouldn’t let them get away without feeding them.” After a summer’s work as a housekeeper at the Grand Hotel on Mackinac Island, Mary resumed serving meals and catering private parties in her home, in additon to keeping roomers. Often the boarders were schoolteachers, new in town and without local • roots. Mary loved “mothering” the young folks who lived under her roof. “Mary also continued to serve Sunday chicken din­ ners at her home,” remembers Dick Mason. “They were open to the public, with sort of an in­ formal reservationsystem so she would know how much to prepare.” Trainmen also found their way to Mary’s table'from the nearby railroad depot. For 20 more years Mary con­ tinued to care for her “community family”, even as her health gradually declined. At the end, Mary was critically ill less than a week before she succumbed. Though she had virtually no family to call her own, Mary was widely mourned The regular meeting of the Nashville Village Council held October 25, 1979 at 7:00 p.m. at the Castleton Township Hall was called to order by President Harold Christiansen. Present were Curtis, Kohfeldt, Spoelstra, Kienutske, Babcock and Hinckley. The minutes of the last regular meeting were read and approved. Motion by Spoelstra, supported by Curtis to apply for a Parade Permit to Close M-66 on December 8, 1979 from 10 to 11 a.m. for a Christmas Parade. All ayes, motion carried. Motion by Kienutske, supported by Hinckley to add shrubs around the lift stations after construction work is completed. Shrubs to be planted by the Department of Public Works. All ayes, motion carried. Motion to adjourn by Spoelstra, supported by Hinckley. Meeting adjourned at 7:45 p.m. continued Date: Nov. 8, 1979 A person's own wishes, not his age,, should determine his time of retirement. Forced retirement at 65 or 70 is wrong. Many artists, musicians, and other professionals have done good work until they died. Older industrial workers have a 20% better absentee record than younger workers. They have fewer on-the-jqb injuries and the frequency of accidents decreases with age. and sadly missed by a community that truly loved the lady with the big heart. Today, Mary White’s name is still synonymous with hearty food, hospitality and home. Those kinds of memories would please Mary most of all.

With the economy softening? With inflation, lay-offs, and strikes, be thankful? Well, the choice is ours. We may look at conditions and be afraid, or like our forefathers, we may trust God. A little over 300 years ago, the pilgrims left Leyden, Holland. Almost half of them died that first year, but the remaining 55, knowing*that they were in the hand of God, harvested their 27 acres of corn and barley, prepared a meal and invited the Indians as their guests. Those homesick, weary, over-drawn, settlers forgot the danger and suffering as on that, never to be forgotten, day in November of 1621 they sat down to thank the Lord. As a result of their communion with the living God, they faced the future with renewed courage and burning hope. On that unshakable, courageous faith our nation was founded. On this Thanksgiving Day, in the year of our Lord 1979, let's begin as they did; with humble, open confession of sin. Then accepting, by faith, His forgiveness and salvation and counting every blessing as from His hand, pour out our hearts in joyous Thanksgiving. For, when we come in that manner, it is never long until our entire being is melted in the true scriptural experience of OOOINWW real praise and heartfelt gratitude.

In Michigan, trained field enumerators will visit 400 farmers to collect data for the survey. Don J.

Our Lions started slow at Saranac trailing after one quarter 12-7 and at half 20-17. The third and fourth quar­ ters belonged to Maple Valley as our girls outscored the Saranac Redskins 33-24 to give the Lions a victory. Tuesday Aspinall led all scorers with 15 points, Julie Barlow added 10, Diane Cook 8, Lori Decker 7, and Melissa Coffman 4 points. Daine Cook pulled down 12 rebounds and Lori Decker picked off 11. Julie Barlow had 7 steals. Fishing is popular Pre-school story hour starts November 14 Fishing is popular - and with fisherman’s luck, puts food on the table, according to Eaton Home Economist, Ann Ross. If you are fishing and would like information on preserving fish or fish cookery, call the Extension Office (543-2310) and ask about “Freezing Meat and Fish In The Home”, and “Great Lakes Fish Cookery”. Information on canning fish is available also. One critical step in canning fish is brining (soaking fish in salt brine). Never omit this step. MSU recommends using only half pint jars for canning fish. Pressure canning is the only safe canning method for fish.

Thursday night saw the Lions out to display excellent defense and their finest offensive game of the season. In fact the 64 points scored is the most points ever made by a varsity girls team at Maple Valley, the old recored was 60 set in 1977. The first quarter action had Maple Valley out in front 14-6 and they did not let up as Carson City went down to defeat 64-52. This game gave the Lions an overall record of 7 wins and 8 loses. Tuesday Aspinall played the best game of her career scoring 19 points, grabbing 7 steals and dishing out 6 assists to lead the Lions. Julie Barlow hit for 12 points, making their production, storage, and marketing plans; by manufacturers or processors serving farmers; by state and federal farm program planners working with producers; by the transportation and export industry. Estimates of acreage planted to winter wheat this fall and potential 1980 production will be released December 21; the latest estimate of hogs on farms and farrowing plans for early 1980 also will be issued that day.

Many forest owners who purchased land in the last 10­ 20 years have never benefited from a timber sale because the forest was in such poor or bad neglected shape when it was pur­ chased. Forest lands such as these are in definite need of management. This management may involve thinning of clumps, removal of oversized “wolf” trees or in some cases restocking with desirable tree species. One must look at a forest the same as a farmer looks at a crop of com The farmer knows how. to get the most out of an acre by the spacing of kernels and elimination of competing weeds. The result is a high-yielding acre of corn. Forests need the same treatment. Eliminate the “weed” species such as dogwood, and ironwood, and find your future “crop” trees and give them adequate room in which to grow. The results will surprise you. Growth rates on unmanaged timber lands may be as low as .5 facecord per acre per year. The same land could produce 2-2.5 facecord per acre per year or more if good management was used. Because forest management is a long ter­ med investment; many people argue that the moqey return isn’t worth a wait of many years between timber harvests. They may be right, however, well managed forests can be reharvested 8­ 10 years after the initial cutting and this rotation can go on forever. Hopefully, the days we have cutting rotations of 30 years or more will be eliminated or reduced to a few specific cases. A finanacial return of a forest need not be confined to just timber harvesting for sawlogs.

One need not go into the details of the upswing in firewood sales and wood­ burners to illustrate the demand for firewood. Firewood prices in the area range from $25-$35 for a facecord (one-third of a full cord) -of hardwood. Lets consider that the average forest owner has 10 acres of woods. If his growth rate per acre is 2 facecord a year then he can take out 20 facecord of wood per year from this woodlot. Using an average price of $30 per facecord, this woodlot can earn $600 per year for every year forever. One facecord of well seasoned hardwood is equal to about 52 gallons of fuel oil No. 2. This woodlot could produce an equivalent of 1040 gallons of fuel oil every year forever. The periodic timber harvests can still be con­ tinued in rotation and the tops can be added as ad­ ditional firewood to the owner. Managed forest-lands can be a definite dollar benefit to the owners. Periodic har­ vesting with yearly “clean­ up” can make it feasible to invest some time and effort and get a “return” for your time spent. That’s what Forest Management is about and how it can work for you. QUESTION AND ANSWER QUESTION: I have a walnut tree in the back yard and wish to sell it. How much is it Worth? ANSWER: Competitive bidding on your tree should result in a fair price. (Considering that the tree is of value to a timber or veneer buyer.) Several bids from different buyers should give the seller some idea of the worth of the tree. A list of timber and veneer buyers along with the handout “Timber Sale Guidelines For The Private Woodland Owner” is available through the County Forester.

Santa’s arrival in a Saturday morning Christmas parade, local children decorating a giant-sized pine tree to be located in Central Park along with Santa’s house, a coloring contest with a new twist and a treasure hunt in local stores were scheduled by the Chamber at Wed­ nesday’s meeting, chaired by Ahmo Jordan in the ab­ sence of president Charles Andrus, Jr. Virginia Alles, sales representative for the Maple Valley News, explained to merchants at Wednesday’s meeting a coloring contest in which sketches of each participating local store will be published in the Maple Valley News the last week of November. Children will be encouraged to color the drawings, adding their own creative touch to the sketch by designing seasonal window or storefront decorations for buildings pictured. Mrs. Alles prepared the drawings and will be contacting merchants individually to furnish ad­ ditional details. Under plans discussed at Wednesday’s meeting, coloring contest entries in two age categories will be judged at each participating store, with the top winner in each group receiving a $5 gift certificate to be spent in that place of business. Arrangements for prizes from non-merchandising enterprises are still pending consideration. The younger set will also play a leading role in a Chamber-sponsored event set for 10:00 a.m. December 8, when Santa will arrive in town to participate in a parade commencing at Putnam Park and ter­ minating at Railroad Street. At Wednesday’s meeting, Caroline Dimmers, proprietor of the new Thornapple General Store, suggested that local elementary youngsters be invited to accompany the parade as they carry homemade Chrsitmas tree decorations they have created. At Central Park, where the Chamber hopes to erect a giant-sized pine, the children will pause to add their individual ornaments to the tree. The Chamber is currently seeking a donor for any approximately 20-ft. high pine. Chamber members will cut and transport the tree to the village from the property of any area landowner. Potential donors are asked to call Sharon Brumm at Nash­ ville Hardware for details. Holiday floats and other seasonal entries are being sought for Nashville’s Christmas parade, according to Dave Mace who, with president Andrus, is chairing the event. Mace told merchants Wednesday that art students at Maple Valley High School will construct papier-mache cartoon heads for the parade, and the Chamber agreed at their meeting to reimburse the youngsters for materials, as their creations will become the permanent property of the organization for use in future events. The Chamber-sponsored Christmas promotion will conclude with a “treasure hunt” set for Thursday, Friday and Saturday, December 13 through 15. Mrs. Alles told the group Wednesday that each paper of that week’s Maple Valley News issue, delivered here on Tuesday, will be marked with a different number. In order to win one of over 100 prizes that will be offered by local merchants, individuals must merely match the number on their issue of the newspaper with one of ten different winning numbers posted at each participating store. Further information on prizes to be offered by each merchant will appear in an upcoming edition of the Maple Valley News.

Nashville. Wednesday. November 21. 1979 — Page 2 Nashville News Sylvester Van Hom of Nashville became quite a celebrity this past week when the nearly 97-year-old deer hunter was interviewed by Dick Evans of Channel 8’s “On the Michigan Road”. The show featuring Van Hom was aired by the Grand Rapids television station during their 6 p.m. newscast Wednesday evening. Having killed over 100 deer in 91 years of hunting (he’s been at it since he was 6 years of age), Van Horn said he had also killed countless bears. He remembers shooting four in one year, but had lost track of the total number of bears he had killed, he told Evans. Van Hom moved to Nashville about 20 years ago from Clare, where he returned last week for Thursday’s opening of the 1979 deer season. Sylvester claims he has hunted in every county in Michigan. He will celebrate his 97th birthday this month and plans to continue driving his own auto, at least for a while. His driver’s license is good for another three years and “when I reach 100, I’ll have it renewed again,” he told Evans. Van Horn’s trophy-decorated car is a familiar sight in local parades.

Paper chains, popcorn balls and cranberry ropes - it will be an old-fashioned child’s Christmas in Nashville this year, the local Chamber of Commerce decided last week. A special event will encourage local youngsters to fashion homemade ornaments to decorate a 20-foot Christmas tree the Chamber hopes to place in Central Park in downtown Nashville. But first, a donor of such a sizeable pine must be found. A December 8th Christmas parade, heralding Santa’s arrival in the village, and a coloring contest which allows kids to create imaginary seasonal decor for local storefronts are also on the holiday agenda. More details appear elsewhere in this issue of the Maple Valley News. Mrs. Nelson Brumm is happy to report that Nashville exceeded the community’s 1980 United Fund goal of $1,800.

Thank heavens for folks who clip, paste and save! Old scrapbooks continue to help unravel the mysteries of Nash­ ville’s past. Just last week we wrote of how the yellowed pgs. of a scrapbook kept by the late Mrs. Clara Hannemann helped sort out information for a “Memories” feature on the late Mary White. Now, an old journal pasted full of dated clippings, carefully preserved by the late Mrs. Charles M. Putnam, has shed light on the young lad and his friends who were responsible for stashing a box of childhood treasures in an attic of the Putnam home before the turn of the century. Mrs. Putnam saved newspaper stories from both the local press and out-of-town daily publications. From these we have gleaned much information about her nephew Frank D. Smith, owner of the magic lantern and other “goodies” discovered during a recent insulation project at the Putnam home, now the Putnam Public Library, and' about his pal, Leslie Flint. “One of the saddest and most largely attended funerals that has been conducted here for some time was that of Frank D. Smith, which was held from the home of Mr. and Mrs. C. M. Putnam last Sunday afternoon,” revealed a Nashville News account dated May 26, 1899. “The spacious house was filled with relatives and friends of the deceased, and nearly 400 people followed the remains to their in­ terment in Lakeview cemetery, the G.A.R. boys heading the procession.” Corporal Frank D. Smith, 23, had died May 15, 1899 at Fortress Monroe, Virginia, where he was a member of Battery E, Fourth Heavy Artillery. Caused by basal meningitis, his death was attributed to injuries received in Cuba at the Battle of Santiago during the Spanish-American War. There, less than a year before his death, Frank sustained a wound from a Mauser bullet in his hip and a compound fracture of the leg from another bullet. Treasures in Frank Smith’s boyhood cache indicate he had an overwhelming interest in journalism, and clippings saved by Mrs. Putnam bear this out. The Press of Ottumwa (Iowa?) wrote that Frank had been an employee of the newspaper’s mechanical department and “he made quite a large circle of friends while in the city. He was a good work­ man and a kind hearted, generous fellow whom everyone liked. His realistic pen picture of the terrible charge up San Juan Hill, which appeared in The Press a short time after the battle, attracted considerable attention here. It was pretty widely copied throughout the state.” Frank was the adopted son of his uncle and aunt, Charles and Agnes (Smith) Putnam in whose home he had been cared for following the 1890 death of his mother, Mrs. Carl Smith of Farwell, Mich. She died at age 36 of consumption, leaving her husband and two sons: Frank and Fred. (Fred was also enlisted in the same battery as he brother, a short time before Frank’s death). An 1894 honor graduate of Nashville - High School, Frank had taught several successful terms of school before engaging in newspaper work for about two years prior to his enlistment into the United States service as an artilleryman. A letter from his captain at Fort Monroe, Virginia advised his family that Cpl. Smith “was sent out about one and one-half miles from the fortress to guard a citizens’ hospital on Friday, May 12, and the next day was taken sick with basal meningitis and brought back to the soldier’s hospital, where he remained unconscious until his death, May 15.” Following services at the fortress chapel, the remains were escorted to the railway depot with full military honors and sent home to Nashville. It seems a strange twist of fate that a childhood journal found in Frank’s boyhood cache depicted battlefield scenes drawn by his friend Hugh Furniss. A number of letters from the pen of Frank D. Smith, first- hand accounts of his military experiences here and in Cuba, appeared in local papers and were saved by Mrs. Putnam. Dated clippings in her scrapbook cover a period from 1871 to 1916 and cover news of the local scene as well as various items of worldwide interest One undated clipping, identified with only a Nashville, Mich., July 6 dateline, brings readers news of Leslie D. Flint, a boyhood chum of Frank Smith. Judging by the contents of the treasure box recently found at Putnam, Leslie shared Frank’s avid interest in journalism. The clipping saved by Mrs. Putnam proves this true. “From Manitoba to Mexico and South America, touching at every port between, is a record achieved by few boys of 19 years. But that is what has been accomplished by Leslie D. Flint of Nashville, a young man born in Michigan,” the unidentified news piece related. “One of his earliest ambitions was to travel and see as much of the world as he could. After graduation from the Nashville High School he spentjust two weeks in a printing office as a printer’s devil and then went to Chicago, where he succeeded in securing a position as “tramp” reporter on one of the largest dailies in that city.” In hobo style, Frank headed west to spend nearly a year there and in the territory ofAlaska and western provinces of Canada. “When he-returned to Chicago, his paper was so pleased with his stories of life on the road that they gave him a position as traveling staff correspondent and instructed him to travel, as much as possible, in true hobo style.” For 4 years Leslie had traveled extensively on two continents and was employed by daily papers in New York, Chicago and San Francisco. At the time of the story he was “vacationing” in Nashville. “He says he enjoys traveling, but in all his trips he has never found a place that suited him as well as Michigan,” concluded the story. A letter received last week from Kenneth A. Meade,-a Nashville native now of Franklin, added an unusual note to our recent “Memories” story on the first armistice celebration in Nashville at the conclusion of the first World War in 1918. “Seems there was a false rumor that came through the week before and school let out early,” wrote Meade. “Of course it was closed when the real one (ar­ mistice) happened on November 11.” Enclosed with Meade’s letter was an August 1979 issue of the Edison Centennial News, a publication headlining the story of the first reunion in August of the 1929 Edison Scholars at West Orange, New Jersey. Philip W. Maurer, a former resident and graduate of Nashville’s Class of 1929, was one of the original “49ers” as they were called, as there were originally 49 scholars, one from each state in the union and the District of Columbia, all personally selected by the Many of us, afflicted as was Job, with miseries and misfortune, may wonder what significance Thanksgiving can have for us. If we will but realize that the trials of life; are intended by our Creator to foster the growth of com­ passion. .the growth and maturity of our own souls ..we will then be impelled to give praise and thanks­ giving, even in adversity.

More than 9,000 students had applied. Each state administered a preliminary test among eligible contestants and chose a single representative to attend the finals at Edison’s home in West Orange, N.Y. There, Edison personally administered a test he had personally devised,” explained the publication forwarded by Meade. Philip Maurer ofNashville was chosen to represent Michigan in the 1929 contest. Last August, for the first time in 50 years, nineteen of the original 49 scholars were reunited at the New Jersey site where they first met and competed. In attendance were Mr. and Mrs. Philip Maurer, now of Dearborn.

Nashville. Wednesday. November 21.1979 — Page 4 Memories of the pas Like the famous English­ man for whom he was named, Issac Newton Kellogg was a whiz at math Years later, the talented Nashville cabinetmaker would be remembered by his son Frank for an uncanny ability to solve complicated mathematical problems without benefit of pencil and paper. “Issac could do all kinds of math in his head,” explains Mrs. George (Janet) Kellogg By Susan Hinckley of Nashville, who recalls tales of her husband’s grandfather as recounted by her father-in-law, the late Frank Kellogg. “IN., as he was called, never measured angles,” noted Janet. “He could just close his eyes and visualize what was needed without using calipers to make the proper cut into a piece of lumber." “Issac’s mind was very attuned to what he saw,” she Young Frank Kelloggg admired his talented father, helped tend boiler at the mill, and soaked up knowledge and love of woodworking that led to a home building career. Only 13 at Issac's death, Frank was too young to assume operation of the mill alone. Here’s how to get that Long Distance number (and a free Personal Directory to keep it in) so you can dial it yourself and save. Michigan Bell added. Born in 1834, I. N. Kellogg migrated to Michigan from Oneida, New York. His wife Malvina died here in 1800 at the age of 42, after bearing eight children. Two years later Issac married Mary J. McKelvey of Maple Grove, and his “second family” consisted of three children: daughters Marian and Marguierite, and a son Frank. I. N. Kellogg had established a successful planing mill in a brick structure located just north of the Thornapple River Bridge, on the east side of Nashville’s Main Street (present-day site of George Kellogg residence, across from Putnam Park). There, from locally grown lumber, Issac fashioned fine furniture and ornate moldings and staircases which still grace many homes. With the help of a business partner, Issac was able to exhibit his wood­ working talents in a cen­ trally-located showroom. “The firm of Kellogg & Demaray are remodeling their building on South Main Street, preparatory to filling it with a stock of furniture,” advised the Nashville News in September 1878, only five years after the weekly paper had commenced publication. Janet Kellogg believes caskets were included in the inventory, as was a common practice with furniture manufacturers of that era. Not many folks alive today remember I. N. Kellogg, but most Nashville folks know a magnificent piece of his craftsmanship - the elegant open staircase that ascended to the upper floor of J. B. Kraft & Sons store (later Hannemann’s Dry Goods, then Line’s Dept. Store). The Kraft building is long since gone, having been replaced by the new post If you’ve ever forgotten how to get a needed phone number for a distant city — outside your own area code — you may want to clip this ad and keep it near your phone as a reminder.

Kellogg's Planing Mill was located just north of the Thornapple River bridge, on Kelloggs the east side of Main Street. Here Issac created fine furniture and ornate mouldings from native timber. After his death in 1898 the mill was briefly leased, but finally closed and demolished several years later. office constructed in 1966, but Issac’s staircase was too beautiful to destroy. Instead, the polished cherry, balustrade and newel were carefully dismantled by workmen and the staircase is still kept in storage by present owners of the building. Custom mouldings and furniture being his specialty, Issac usually worked with lumber brought to him by various clients seeking a particular style of trim or decor. Planing machinery at the mill sized rough boards down to correct dimensions. Issac usually hired a few hands to help fire the boiler which powered his wood­ working machinery. Frank was always at the mill on Saturdays and whenever possible to help with the boiler operation. “Frank admired his father whom he remembered as industrious, thrifty and a good businessman,” recalls Janet Kellogg. At the planing mill, young Frank soaked up a special knowledge and love of working with wood that helped him become a suc­ cessful home builder in later years. But Frank was still a babe when his inventive father was making a name for himself and Nashville. “I. N. Kellogg is working on a machine which is in­ tended to fill a long felt want in the cabinet shop,” advised the News in February 1887. “It is a machine for making glue joints accurately and expeditiously. Mr. Kellogg believes he has a good thing and will patent it.” And he did. As a growing lad, one of Frank’s happy daily tasks was to deliver a noon meal, prepared at home by his mother, to his father, who A whiz at math, Issac Newton Kellogg was a talented Nashville cabinetmaker who could close his eyes and visualize angles without measurement.

He also constructed most homes on the North Main Street hill and several along Kellogg Street, a road deeded to the village by his mother Mary (right), shown about 1920 with daughter Marian Kellogg Nash and family. Frank also married, had two children, lived to age 84. chose not to leave his mill work for lunch. But one sad day in August 1898, young Frank, at age 13, had the dreadful experience of finding his father slumped over his workbench when he delivered his lunch. Frank quickly summoned aid, and Issac was carried home and a doctor called. At 64, I. N. Kellogg had suffered a stroke and was in a coma. He died three days later. Without Issac at the helm, the days of the Kellogg planing mill were numbered. Frank’s older half brothers were not interested in assuming operation of the business, and Frank was too young. “C. W. Rossman and Frank Mallett of Grand Rapids have leased the Kellogg planing and wood working mill,” the News announced in early Sep­ tember 1896. In time, the mill closed, the machinery sold and, later, the building was razed. By then Frank was a young man and had established himself as a skilled home builder.

On the site of his father’s demolished mill, Frank built a home for his family. In 1921 Frank married Gladys Willoughby and they had two children: George and Eleanor. In the basement oFThe Kellogg home (now occupied by George and his wife Janet) the original boiler and workbench of I. N. Kellogg’s planing mill still stand like silent sentinels of the past. In the home are several pieces of fine fur­ niture crafted from native walnut by I. N. Kellogg. But to his admiring young son, Issac left a legacy more precious than tangible goods. “Frank inherited his father’s ability to visualize something and create it,” noted Janet. “Once, on a trip to Jackson to visit his sister Marguierite, he found her living in a house that so impressed him he im­ mediately returned to Nash­ ville and built an identical dwelling bn Washington Street, using only a sketch he had made as a guide.” Today, Kellogg-built houses dot the village, rivaling older Nashville homes which still boast magnificent natural woodwork crafted by Frank’s father, Issac Newton Kellogg.

The decision was made by village officials at a special council meeting Thursday evening. “Local control is better,” declared trustee Lonny Kienutske. “I am not in favor of letting control (of the project) out of the village.” During an in­ formal meeting with Kienutske and other village officials Wednesday af­ ternoon, Robert Benzenski, a bond consultant with Benzenski & Co. of Detroit, had seemed to favor revenue bonding through the county DPW. Nine out of ten municipalities now go with county bonding, Village Clerk Susan Corkwell reported Benzenski had said at Wednesday’s meeting, which she attended with Village President Harold Christiansen and Leon Frith, head of Nashville’s Dept, of Public Works. Also present was Robert Hammel, bond attorney with Miller, Can­ field, Paddock & Stone, a Detroit law firm. “Under the county DPW agreement, if we could not make our payment on the debt they (the county) could come in and make us assess added millage or they could attach our revenues coming back from the state,” explained Kienutske at Thursday’s council meeting. “The county would be owners of the project; it would take away some of our local control.” Kienutske likened the situation to a land contract, Our Christmas Stock •. is nearly complete... • 4 i No extra Layaway Charges 10 to 20% deposit holds your selection! 4 J 1 This year - more than ever - it just makes good sense to shop close to home and...

Shop Kelley’s and SAVE!! with the county DPW being the title holder and the village being the purchaser. The advantages of county DPW backing for the project would be a reduction in local paperwork by the village clerk and an 80 cents per month savings for sewer users. However, from that savings would be deducted an as-yet-unspecified amount of county ad­ ministrative costs. With the county DPW assuming responsibility for the debt should Nashville default on the FmHA loan, the village would not be required to set aside a 10 percent reserve of the estimated annual project payment of approximately $173,000, a requirement for local control of the bonding issue. However, several council members stressed Thursday that the village would be accumulating rather sizeable interest earnings on this reserve over the life of the project and near the end of the contract the funds could be used to retire the debt. “I would hate to give any control to the county unless there were some advantages to it,” said trustee Ted Spoelstra, “and I can’t see that there are any.” He then moved to go with local revenue bonds to finance the balance of the new sewer project and was unanimously supported by the council. In other business relating to the sewer expansion, the council agreed Thursday to retain Hastings attorney David A. Dimmers to handle all necessary legal work for the project. Approval of a legal services agreement is required by FmHA as part of the financing package. Dimmers currently serves as Nashville’s village "at­ torney. Nashville’s $4.8 million sewer improvements are being paid with 80 percent grants offered by federal and state agencies, and Village Clerk Susan Corkwell an­ nounced Thursday that a check for $126,000.00 had been received from the U.S. Environment Protection Agency as partial land reimbursement costs for three parcels of the land the village must acquire to construct a new lagoon-andirrigation wastewater treatment facility on Brumm Road, northwest of the village.

It’s almost magic A two-in-one picture mode by students in Mrs. Jacoby's fourth grade class blends artistic abilities with listening and following directions. It's almost magic when a child can make two pictures from one picture. "Listening and following directions is the 'name of the game.' If this can happen in our fourth grade glass, we'll come up with a Thanksgiving turkey on one side and an Indian on the other," says Mrs. Jacoby of Fuller Elementary School. Shown displaying the Indian side of their pictures are Eric Terpening and Danny Kellogg, while Edith Clark and Amy Howard hold the Turkey side of their art work. The secret to the almost magic drawing is that the cut-out feathers serve both pictures...on one side, students drew features of a turkey and colored the tail feathers with bright colors. Then the drawing is flipped over to the reverse side and the face of an Indian is sketched and colored. (Maple Valley News photo) EAST SIDE .. WEST SIDE All around the town By..

Such was the case Tuesday when short, determined Maple Valley overcame the in­ surmountable obstacles called the Portland Red Raiders by the score of 35-28. Valley’s controlled offense left little room for error and Portland’s first two mistakes were turned into fast break buckets for the Lions. The visiting Raiders never came closer and Valley led by as many as 14 points early in the third period. Julie Barlow and Tuesday Aspinall each tallied 8 points in the first quarter to help give MV an 18-10 first quarter advantage over the stunned visitors. Valley held a 20-14 halftime advantage. Some key steals by Kathy Christopher helped Valley hold the powerful Raiders to only two points - both made from the free throw line - in the third quarter. Christopher had 5 steals for the night. Julie Barlow had 4 steals. The only cold spell for MV cafne in the fourth quarter. Valley could manage only 7 points while Portland scored 12, five of these made at the free-throw line. Tuesday Aspinall scored 18 points for the Lions and Julie Maple Valley Varsity Club sponsors Donkey Basketball The Maple Valley Varsity Club will sponsor the donkey basketball game Tuesday, November 27 at the high school gym. This game is played to raise funds for the Varsity Club treasury. Varsity Club members use these funds to give two scholarships annually, purchase and care for audiovisual equipment, some funds are being raised to start a picture gallery outside the gym, other funds are used to help boost athletics any way necessary. This game will feature boys and girls Varsity Club members playing. Game time is 7:30 p.m. with the cost set at, $1.00 for kindergarten through 6th grade, and $1.50 for 7th grade through adulthood. A half-time dog act will be the center attraction. Bring the family out and enjoy a fun filled evening. The game should get over shortly after 9 o’clock. Tickets are available at the high school or from any Varsity Club member. Barlow added 11 points. The victory marked the first defeat of Portland by a Valley girls basketball team. When Valley went to Montabella on Thursday, the euphoria of their big victory on Tuesday still surrounded them. This probably ac­ counted for the sluggish start by the Lions. The visitors trailed 23-31 at the half. The second half was completely different for Valley, as they came out strong and tallied a 24 point third quarter. Un­ fortunately, the Mustangs were able to keep up the pace and the game was decided in the last 9 seconds of the game. With the score tied, the Lions had the ball but were unable to get a shot up. Then a scramble after a loose ball brought a Lion foul. Pam Jorgensen of Montabella sank a free-throw which gave the host Mustangs a 64-63 victory. Co-captains Julie Barlow and Tuesday Aspinall each netted 22 points. Diane Cook added 10. Cook also pulled down 10 rebounds. Tuesday the Valley girls host Central Montcalm for Parents Night.

Congressional families had been invited to greet the Pope and to hear his short address on the North Lawn. He had said earlier that morning at Andrews Air Force Base, “I am looking forward to meeting the leaders of this young and flourishing country.” I was eager to hear what his special words would be for America’s elected representatives, so we boarded one of the security-tight buses at the Capitol Building and were Another lucky hunter was Larry Hawblitz who escorted through the streets brought home this eight point buck he shot about 9:05 of Washington, D.C. We disembarked, entered a.m. in the Nashville area. the White House gates across from Lafayette Square, and looked for our pre-assigned seats: Seniority placed us in the back row, and alphabetical freshman seating placed us in the next to the last two chairs outranking only Congressman Wyatt of Texas! Then, unexpectedly, we were invited to move up toward the front to fill in empty seats. A freshman Member of Congress laughed and said, “A quick way to gain seniority!” At that moment the Marine Band fanfare sounded. We all stood and applauded. But no, it was Vice-President Mondale taking his place on the platform. Another trumpet blast. But no, this time it was the President’s family. And then, as the trumpeted salute continued, “Ladies and Fourteen-year-old Bob Brumm of Nashville downed Gentlemen, the President of this six point buck at 8:45 a.m. opening day with a 20 the United States and His gua'ge.

I can see him. God bless him! ” Then she let out a happy, “Whooo!” that reminded me of the Pope’s own “Whooo!” as he had responded days earlier to the cheers of the youth in Madison Square Gardens.

The board members voted to deny the grievance based upon the fact that this is a new position started after the master contractual agreement and is not the type covered by the master contract. The board members discussed a request from the Maple Valley Education Association to pay additional benefits under the Delta Dental Insurance program for the period October 1,1977 through September 1979. The conflict relates to coor­ dination of benefits for two subscribers enrolled under the same group policy. Coverage was paid ac­ cording to the contract written by MESSA delta dental program which is in conflict with the master agreement with the teachers. This situation actually involves eight teachers. The request from the Maple Valley Education Association was denied by the board members with Virginia Fox and Robert Dormer voting nay. The present delta dental plan through MESSA provides for coordination of benefits. The board members voted that the negotiation com­ mittee for the ad­ ministrators be disbanded and that the full board be involved in deciding the administrator salaries and that the salaries and benefits as presented by the com­ mittee be denied. Robert Dormer and Wayne Cogswell voted nay. The board members held an executive session to discuss ad­ ministrator ’ salaries.

WANT-ADS today Gerald Mater, Mr. and Mrs. Ben Kenyon, Mr. and Mrs. Herbert Yaudes, Mr. and Mrs. Donald Skedgell and Mr. and Mrs. Carroll Wolff, all of Nashville, and Mr. and Mrs. Keith Klotz of rural Vermontville. The Friths have two children, Tom, of Nashville, and Roxanne, of Lansing. Recent correspondence from Howard E. Brumm, a Nash­ ville native now of Charlevoix, included an amusing anec­ dote about the late Frank Russell, longtime Nashville village engineer. We hope to use Mr. Brumm’s story in a planned “Memories” feature on Russell. Again we ask readers to check their old albums to see if any have a picture of this man, who has become somewhat of a local legend. Incidentally, our recent appeal for photos of the late Mary White resulted in eight being offered, three of which were used in the recent story. Our thanks to Alice Fuller Mar­ shall, Dick Mason and Joyce Dawson Baker for responding to that call for help. Mrs. Bertha Becker was a recent weekend guest of her granddaughter and family, Glenda and Roger Hardenburg at Eagle. Monday, Bertha visited an eye specialist in Lansing before returning to her home in Nashville. Mrs. Eliza Emery of Nashville and Mrs. Irene Gaskill of Charlton Park Road were Sunday callers on Miss Altie Swift of rural Nashville. Mrs. Melissa Showalter of Nashville enjoyed a recent all­ day Saturday visit with Her daughter and son-in-law, Louise and Del Reickord at Washington, Mich. Mrs. Showalter made the trip with Mr. and Mrs. Jan Benedict of Ver­ montville, who spent the day shopping at a mall near the Pontiac suburb. Washington is near Romeo and Rochester. This was the first opportunity Mrs. Showalter has had to visit the Reickords at their new residence there. Thanksgiving came early for Nashville’s senior citizens last week. At noon Wednesday several gathered for a potluck dinner at the V.F.W. hall here. Turkey and dressing were prepared and furnished for the event by Mrs. Mary Townsend of Hastings, president of the Nashville Senior Citizens organization. Next month, the group plans a Christmas potluck dinner at the local United Methodist Community House. On Friday evening members of Nash­ ville’s Senior Citizen Nutrition Site enjoyed a potluck Thanksgiving dinner at the Masonic Temple site. Red caps, flannel shirts and hunting jacks were popular garb in our village last Thursday as many area residents participated in the opening day of deer hunting season. Some went north, but many stayed in this area- to seek their trophy in our rural regions and several flocked to the local eating places at noon. One hunter who bagged his deer in the morning hours Thursday was Larry Hawblitz, a former resident now of Battle Creek, who was hunting with his brother Blair in Maple Grove Township. Before noon, Larry was in town with an 8-point buck atop his auto. The son of Mr. and Mrs. Vern Hawblitz of Nashville, Larry is a 1955 NHS grad and was one of the 99 runners who participated in Nashville’s recent 6.2 mile Harvest Festival race. The Sveden House in Lansing will be the scene of the first annual Workers’ Banquet for the Nashville Baptist Church. Honored at the 8:30 p.m. Saturday event, December 1, will be workers in all departments of the church. A men’s breakfast is scheduled at the Nashville Baptist Church for 9:00 a.m. Saturday, December 8.

He was a retired officer with the Battle Creek Police Department and had lived south of Nashville since the 1960’s. His wife Lena is Director of Nursing at the Barry County Medical Care Facility. Our condolences to the family. Due to a typographical error, the names of James Gordon, Barry County commissioner; and Edgar Fleetham, Eaton County commissioner; were deleted from the photograph published last week from the open house welcoming Phyllis Nye as the new nursing supervisor of the Barry-Eaton Health Department.

Initial amendments included one which would prohibit supervisory employees from belonging to teachers’ unions; it failed. TABS FOR SALE: Passenger vehicle license plate tabs for 1980 are now on sale at Secretary of State offices throughout Michigan. Since we are now shifting to registration by birthday, your fee will be for more or fess than a year, accordingly. ERA OPINION - The Attorney General has ruled that state department directors may not prohibit employees from travelling to states which have not ratified the Equal Rights Amendment to the U.S. Constitution. 35 of a required 38 states have ratified. WAYNE COUNTY - Now in the House is SB 652, which provides for reorganizing Wayne County government to include a strong county executive and accountability at all levels. Governor Milliken has insisted on reorganization before approving any more financial aid to the county. Meanwhile, a Detroit Senator has urged instead a two-mill property tax increase there. ESSENTIAL INSURANCE - The Governor has now signed into law SB 428, which I opposed. This bill guarantees the availability of automobile and homeowners’ insurance in all but a few cases. This was partly required by the Supreme Court to make our no-fault auto insurance law con­ stitutional ; also, it restores fault to auto accidents, allowing drivers to sue others for up to $400 for damage. However, this law will increase your rate some 4 percent to 8 percent. REFUGEE NUMBER - Governor Milliken is organizing a special Michigan volunteer effort to help get food and medical supplies to Indochinese refugees in camps in Thailand. Many existing groups are helping with this; in­ formation can be obtained by calling 800-221-2870, toll-free. GAS DOWN - The Energy Department has reported that gasoline consumption in Michigan has been dropping ever since February and now stands at 4 percent below last year. Presuming this positive trend continues, we will feel little or no effects from the Iranian oil cutoff. FAMILY WEEK - November 18 through 24 has been designated as “Family Week in Michigan,” calling attention to society’s most fundamental social institution. The stability of a community, state or nation depends to a great extent on the influence of families.

Settling down to a traditional Thanksgiving dinner with all the trimmings was an educational and fun experience for the Pilgrims and the Indians (for a day) in Miss Harns first grade class at Fuller Elementary School. With excitement and hearty appetites, they devoured a meal Monday that included turkey, dressing, cranberry sauce, rolls, corn, carrot sticks, and pumpkin pie. The children enjoyed helping to prepare their feast including the baking of pumpkin pies on Friday. The first graders also made Pilgrim hats and Indian headdresses for the occasion and studied about the first American Thanksgiving cele­ brated by the Plymouth colonists and the Wampanoag Indians in 1621. (Maple Valley News photos by Elaine Gilbert) Students tour Nashville Meat Locker — especially for those who had never eaten homemade bread before. Watching ice cream being made was another highlight for the students when Mrs. Hansen brought in her ice cream maker. Tasting the delicious treat capped off an interesting session. Basics were included in the total lesson plan too, with the class studying the fourfood groups and the five nutrients. SHOP EARLY While Supplies are available! USE OUR CONVENIENT...

Michigan Phone 945-9554 (Hastings) The Maple Valley News, Vol. 107, No, 27 — Wednesday. November 28, 1979 Annual ‘coloring contest’ has a homespun twist this year— Festive Christmas is planned! A host of Christmas ac­ tivities are sure to make the season merry and local shopping appealing to community residents this year as the Nashville Chamber of Commerce gears up for a festive holiday for you. Santa Claus will be coming to town in a 10 a.m. parade set for Saturday, December 8. The line-up will step off at Putnam Park, continue through the downtown district and end at Railroad Street. It has also been suggested that local elementary youngsters be invited to accompany the parade as they carry homemade Christmas tree decorations they have created. Then, the children c.ould pause at Central Park and add their individual ornaments to the giant-sized pine tree to be errected there by the Chamber through the generosity of Timothy and Alice Boucher who have donated a tree from their property. Churches, organizations and individuals are en­ couraged to participate in the parade with holiday floats and other types of seasonal entries, say parade co-chairmen Dave Mace and Chamber President Charles Andrus, Jr. Art students at Maple Valley High School will construct papier-mache cartoon heads for use in the parade. The Chamber-sponsored Christmas promotion will conclude with a "treasure hunt” planned for Thursday, Friday, and Saturday December 13-15. When you’re planning your local Christmas shopping expedition, here are several surefire steps to make smoother shopping: —Write a complete list of all the people you plan to give a gift...remember, the kids’ teachers, babysitter, your hairstylist, the post­ man, etc. —Keep your list in an envelope marked. "Christ­ mas” in your handbag. Into the same envelope goes any size information you might need, as well as ads you’ve come across on special items. —Bring along a roomy tote bag made of material that will withstand wetness. This eliminates the need to go back and forth to the car with your packages. —Wear comfortable shoes. —Stop at one of the local resturants for a snack or meal to pamper yourself while you mull over your list for more ideas or for some quick energy after busy hours. When it comes to giving gifts, creativty can help stretch your Christmas spending dollars. These are just a few starters to help you come up with even more creative notions: A great gift for teachers might be a colorful little tin box filled with fresh nuts and accompanied by the message — “We’re nuts about you!” Write a note on the top of the box that says “Glove ’n Kisses” and inside the recipient will discover a warm pair of wool gloves and a package of candy kisses. What teenaged female could resist a purse-sized make-up mirror with a card reading “You’re the fairest of them all!” Fill a new jewlry box with all sorts of baubles, bangles, and beads. Give your daughter-in-law a lovely datebook — with birthday and anniversary dates you’ve already filled iif. (And, maybe a card reading, “So Uncle Lester won’t forget you in his will!”) Got a sentimentalist on your list?~ How about a candlestick with a single candle and a card that says “To the light of ray life”...or The annual Christmas Coloring Contest in this issue of the Maple Valley News has a new look this year. Children up to 12 years of age are invited to dress-up local stores and businesses with a holiday flair by using crayons or colored pencils to color the sketches of the buildings featured in the contest by participating establishments. Children are encouraged to add their own creative touch to the sketch by designing seasonal window or storefront decorations for the buildings a set of china teacups, a box of exotic tea, and the note “You’re my cup of tea!” Fill a new modern wooden salad bowl with bright red apples and a pretty plaid bow. Give your husband that watch he needs with a note, “My time is your time!” How about a set of scented drawer sachets (buy a potpourri, some pretty fabric and ribbons, and make your own)...a new cookie jar chock full of chocolate chip cookies...a picture in a frame with, “I love the look of you!” Get the idea? The possibilities are endless. Plus local merchants have all the latest gift items that are sure to be popular with everyuile ori your list. pictured. The sketches are the work of Virginia Alles, advertising representative for the Maple Valley News and Reminder. A total of 36 gift cer­ tificates (or equal value) will be awarded to contest winners.

With the addition of four new ornaments purchased this past summer by the local Chamber of Commerce, there are now a sufficient number of decorations to adorn all the lamp posts lining the business district. The Chamber’s goal for Christmas 1980 is to purchase a new lighted holiday strand to span Main Street. Santa’s House also arrived on Nashville’s Main Street last week, thanks to Lewie Schulze who transported it to Central Park. Built several years ago by Eunice and Lloyd Priddy of rural Nashville, Saint Nick’s headquarters have brightened many past holidays for local youngsters. This year the house will receive a new coat of paint, thanks to Mike Slocum and friends. And Central Park will soon have a giant-sized Christmas tree, compliments of Timothy and Alice (Pennock) Boucher who have offered to donate one from their property south of town. The Chamber of Commerce had issued a public appeal for such a donation, through a notice published in the Maple Valley News last week. Members ofthe organization will cut and transport the tree from Boucher’s property to downtown Nashville, where the giant pine will be a significant feature of a Chamber-sponsored Christmas parade at 10 a.m. Saturday, December 8. Children of the community are being asked to fashion homemade ornaments for the huge Christmas tree to be placed in Central Park. The youngsters are invited to ac­ company the parade entourage, which will commence at • NOTICE • Deadline for filing nominating petitions for Village President, Clerk, Treasurer, Assessor and (3) Two Year Term Trustees will be TUESDAY, DECEMBER 18, 1979 at 4:00 p.m. Petitions must be filed with the Nashville Village Clerk. Nomination petitions are available at the Village Clerk's Office. SUSAN M. CORKWELL, Nashville Village Clerk When the bereaved family first meets the funeral direc­ tor, probably at the funeral hotne, they may question whether he truly feels their sorrow. His businesslike actions at times may appear cold, yet his profession, like that of the doctor, requires that he be reserved for thd good of those he serves. The grief of a family that has just lost a loved one is very poignant, and a funeral director is affected by it, ias is any other sensitive human being.

The younger set will also be encouraged to get into a creative holiday spirit with this issue of the Maple Valley News, by entering a coloring contest featuring sketches of various local stores and business places. Prizes will be of­ fered in two age categories. Children are asked to color the drawings and add their own individual touch by designing window or storefront Christmas decorations for the buildings pictured. The finished art work is to be submitted to the various participating stores, where the winners will be selected. Children may color as many of the drawings as they desire. (Complete rules of the contest appear elsewhere in this issue.) The clever drawings are the “brainchild” and handiwork of Virginia Alles, sales representative of the Maple Valley News, who sketched the buildings through slide projection. Even adults may find an irresistible urge to pick up the old “crayolas” for this issue, which may become a keepsake - especially for local folks now living miles away from home. The Christmas parade, chaired by Dave Mace arid Chamber of Commerce president Charles Andrus, Jr., needs holiday floats and other types of seasonal entries. Churches, organizations and individuals are encouraged to take part in this festive event. Santa is expected to arrive in Nashville at parade time, December 8. The Christmas gathering of the Cloverleaf Class of the Nashville United Methodist Church will be held at the Community House at 1:30 p.m. Thursday, December 6. There will be a potluck dessert luncheon and gift exchange. Too busy to bake your own favorite holiday goodies? A bake sale with a new twist will let the Friends of the Library do it for you, and even offer home delivery of the goods. From December 1 .through December 15 the FOL will be taking orders for custom baking by organization members, as an ongoing fund-raiser for their various planned projects for Putnam Public Library. Customers may place orders by calling the library during their open hours or Mrs. Dennis Hay, chairperson of the event. Please allow about four days for preparation and delivery of the order. The baked goods can be delivered no later than December 20, in order to allow FOL members time for their own last-minute holiday tasks. Librarian La Duska Sheldon has already placed her order with the FOL: molasses cookies to be baked by Ruth Brown who, according to Mrs. Sheldon, bakes the most delicious molasses cookies she has ever eaten. Does your family have an unusual holiday tradition? Do you have a creche or other Christmas decor that has been handed down for several generations or that has a unique history? If so, please call this reporter as we would like to share your story with our readers. The Maple Valley News staff is seeking local subjects for photographs and features about traditional family Yuletide observances. From the beginning to the end, December presents a full schedule of events at the Nashville Baptist Church which promises an exciting and inspirational holiday month. Leading things off will be a December 1 banquet at the Sveden House in Lansing to honor church workers. At the 8:30 p.m. Saturday dinner, workers in all departments of the church will receive special recognition in what is to become an annual event. Sunday, December 2, is the date for showing the film, “A Distant Thunder”, during 7 p.m. evening services at the Nashville Baptist Church.

Miss Alice Fisher of Nashville suffered a double loss recently in the death of a brother and a sister, just ten days apart. Her brother, Otto Fisher, 84, of Coldwater, died as he was riding in an auto driven by his brother Leo. Otto was stricken as they were nearing Tekonsha. Alice was called to Coldwater for his funeral service November 10, and returned to Nashville the following Tuesday. Her brother, Leo, brought her home, then drove on to Charlevoix to bring back Dorothy Edmonds, who had beep staying there with her nephew, Max Hosmer. While Leo was in Charlevoix, he received a call from Alice advising that their sister, Mrs. Peter (Jennie) Van Dyke, 82, also of Coldwater, had passed away. Leo and Dorothy immediately returned to Nashville, and Alice again went to Coldwater for the funeral service last Monday for her sister.

It was David’s first deer and although he had a doe permit, he bypassed three that crossed his path just ahead of the buck. Incidentally, the opening of firearms deer hunting season in Michigan poses a special threat to motorists as the animals move across busy highways. The prevalence of cardeer collisions is on the increase. Drivers are cautioned to be extra alert now for deer crossing roadways in this area and throughout the state. “Hanging of the greens,” an annual custom of decorating the Nashville United Methodist Church'for Christmas holidays, will take place Sunday, December 2.

Memories of the past A sage far ahead of his time was Cassius L. Glasgow, longtime Nashville hardware man and highly respected state politician. “C. L. Glasgow explains that the increased use of gasoline stoves is respon­ sible for the increase in the price of gasoline,” observed the Nashville News in June 1905. Glasgow undoubtedly knew what he was talking about. Stoves of all kinds Wood burners, kerosene and gasoline fueled were standard items in his merchandising line. Glasgow also sold farm implements, fringed surreys and furniture, a feature added to his store in 1896, just fifteen years after the young Hillsdale County man arrived in Nashville to purchase Charles C. Wolcott’s thriving hardware business. “C. C. Wolcott has sold his hardware and real estate to C. L. Glasgow of Jonesville, the real estate for $3,500. and stock at wholesale inventory,” disclosed the News in August 1881. “Glasgow is an able youngish man, who has three years experience in the wholesale hardware business and five years in the retail end.” Cassius Glasgow was born on a Hillsdale County farm in 1858 of Scoth-Irish paren­ tage. Educated at Jonesville schools and Hillsdale College, his first employment was clerking at a Jonesville hardware. Later getting “Western fever,” Cassius left his native state and ended up at Sioux City, Iowa, working as an assistant bookkeeper and billing clerk in a wholesale hardware business there. Called home a year later by the illness of his mother, Cassius eventually migrated to Nashville in 1881, pur­ chased the Wolcott store, established himself in business, and returned to Jonesville the following year just long enough to claim Matie C. Miller as his bride. Glasgow’s Nashville en­ terprise continued to grow and prosper, and after a few years Cassius set about having built an elegant village home (now the residence of Dr. and Mrs. Thomas Myers). “Work on C. L. Glasgow’s new house on the corner of Washington and Queen Streets is progressing rapidly,” reported the News in July 1899. Glasgow’s unquestioned By Susan Hinckley honesty and frankness, and his open manner in treat­ ment of his customers soon won him a host of friends and helped build up a large trade. He was soon regarded as one of the brightest and best businessmen in the county. Meeting early transportation needs ac­ counted for much of his success. . “C. L.

Yerty bought a sump­ tuous new surrey with fringed top. Glasgow made the sale.” In 1906, the summer after Glasgow made his profound observation about the rising price of gasoline, his ad­ vertisement in the News boasted, ‘‘Buggies, and extra good ones, fancy trimmed and nicely proportioned, only $39.90 at Glasgow Hardware.” Astute businessman aside, Cassius Glasgow’s talent foreshadowed greater things. He had leadership abilities that were destined to carry him into the higher world of state politics. Locally, Glasgow had served as Nashville’s village president, once by ap­ pointment and once by election without opposition, but he was never an office seeker in any sense of the word until 1902. Then, at a state senatorial convention, he received the unanimous nomination of delegates from the 15th district, comprised of Barry and Eaton Counties. Once elected to the Michigan Senate, Glasgow made such a successful record on the floor and in the committee rooms that he was again unanimously nominated two Continued on next page— • NOTICE • There will be a public hearing on December 13, 1979 at 6:30 P.’iT'".?* Castleton Township to discuss amendments to the Nashville Zoning Ordinance.

Home Economist No-Nitrite Meats Hotdogs, frankfurters, weiners - whatever you call that all­ American favorite, take a moment next time you buy them and read the label, suggests Eaton Extension home economist Ann Ross. Why’ Because the product may be different than the one you’re used to buying. If the frankfurters are labeled “uncured”, they , don’t contain nitrite and are more perishable than those with nitrites. The U.S. Dept. of Agriculture recently ap­ proved the use of common names for nitrite-free frank­ furters, bacon, corned beef, ham and other processed meat products. Under the rules, these no-nitrite products must be labeled “uncured” “UNCURED FRANKS”, for example -- so you will easily determine which ones you are buying. They will be sold in retail grocery stores along with their familiar nitrite-cured counterparts. Nitrite helps give the products their distinctive taste and color, and it also helps preserve them. For example you can keep “uncured” frankfurters, bacon or corned beef in the refrigerator only four to seven days - not two to three weeks, which is safe for the nitrite-cured franks, bacon and corned beef. The new rules for labeling uncured , products also require the statement “No Nitrite or Nitrite Added”, and if no alternative method of preservation such as drying, thermal processing or pickling is used, the label must bear the warning, “Not Preserved--Keep Refrigerated Below 40 degrees F. At All Times.” Don’t let uncured bacon or frankfurters sit on the table dispensing with him, and for a great many years, since Mr. Glasgow has been in public life and away from home much of the time, Mr. Zuschnitt nas been not only the bookkeeper but the man in charge of the business during the absence of the proprietor,” noted an article marking Henry’s- 40th year in the store. Twenty years later in 1935, two years after C. L. Glasgow’s death, Henry was still on the job. “Still active in the hard­ ware and implement business conducted by the C. L. Glasgow estate here, Henry C. Zuschnitt-is proud of his record of more than 60 years'with a single firm';’’ noted the News. Memories of the huge Main Street store still linger for many Nashville folks. Kenneth A. Meade, now of Franklin, remembers Glasgow Hardware “with the Wonderful farm machinery, gasoline engines, pump jacks and other pieces of machinery and tools that as a boy I liked to investigate, when my Dad went there to buy things he needed at the farm.” WATER HEATERS GAS OR ELECTRIC 30 GAL & UP NASHVILLLE HARDWARE 105 NORTH MAIN ST. 852-0713 Color any one or all of the drawings, take them to the store and maybe you’ll win!

The session was sponsored by the 4-H Personal Appearance Developmental Committee. Clothing projects aid young people in building self­ confidence and poise.

But he continued to be active throughout the decade, addressing retail and civic groups, as past president of both state and national federations of hardware dealers, as president of the Farmers and Merchants Bank and chief executive of the Nashville State Bank, upon merger of the two banks here. Glasgow was also past president of the local Chamber of Commerce and an active member of both the Masonic, and Knights of Pythias lodges. When he died just two months short of his 76th birthday, Nashville residents were “saddened beyond measure,” reported the News, as word of Glasgow’s death traveled through the village and countryside. A state publication NAME eulogized the man:. “One could not come in contact ADDRESS with him without feeling that he was in the presence of a true gentleman,” it said. “His aim was to do right; to stand for right; and to be kind to all.

Thornapple who is a new permanent fixture outside the store. (Maple'Valley News photo by Virginia Alles) NAME There’s a new guy in town who’s the subject of a lot of stares and attention these days. He can be seen towering above the cars parked along Nashville’s Main Street in front of the Thornapple General Store. He doesn’t seem to mind if folks stop to stare or point though because that’s the whole idea of his ap­ pearance. The 8*6 foot tall figure (including platform) on the sidewalk at 201 N. Main St. is General Beauregard E. Thornapple, a painted plywood replica of an early Tobacconist figure. His military attire is that of a marine from the period of 1860-90 Hastings attorney David Dimmers is General Thornapple’s creator. His wife, Carolyn, is the storekeeper at the unique old-fashioned country store which opened this fall. The Thonapple General Store has become a family project for the Dimmers. “In early days of general stores, it was customary to have such figures as a general. Punch the Clown, or the traditional cigar store Indian out front. This was done to attract more at­ tention to the store,” com­ ments Dimmers. He spent about 15 hours creating Qeneral Thornappie — first copying a pattern from a book of early drawings, then drawing it to scale, cutting out the plywood, and painting it.

November 28 1979 — Page 12 A weekly Report from; Senator 292^94 Senator Allen explains position on essential insurance bill It’s very difficult for the public to follow a Senator’s voting record and know for sure what his position has 1 been on specific issues. As a matter of fact, it’s even difficult for a Senator to know at times! Take the essential in­ surance bill for instance. It was recently signed into law by the Governor. I don’t think the law will do the citizens of our Senate district any good. In its final form I don’t expect major costs to us but there may be some. And some aspects of the law I think will be ad­ ministratively cufnbersome. So, I opposed the bill. At least I thought I did. Now some people who object to the new law are criticizing me for supporting it. Maybe they have a point. Maybe. Here’s how it went. The essential insurance bill in its original form prohibited using residence as a basis for rate setting shifting high costs from urban areas where costs and rates are high to non-urban areas with currently lower rates. Naturally, most of us from outstate Michigan opposed the bill but it passed both houses with votes to spare. There were slight dif­ ferences between the House and Senate versions with the Senate version less damaging. Under these circumstances a joint committee with three members from each hodse work out the differences and present a conference report which must be accepted by both houses for the bill to be presented to the Governor. On the last evening before summer recess a conference committee report was being prepared much along the Auto Service Center TUNE-UP FOR MORE MILEAGE The best way to get maximum mileage from your gasoline is to keep your engine in tune.

Main St., Vermontville — 7-26-0569 lines of the House version. It was expected to easily pass both houses as the bill had. But the Republicans in the Senate, in a surprise maneuver utilizing four sympathetic Democrats and the Lt. Governor, adjourned the session before the vote. That gave us two months but little hope. After all the bill had passed easily. How could we hope to prevent a disastrous conference committee report from passing? But we went to work. The Senate Republicans put a good young attorney on our staff and two of our most intelligent members to work on the problem, Inusrance companies doing a lot of business in outstate Michigan joined in. A new conference report was drawn up that eliminated the prohibition of differential rates between urban and rural areas. It did provide for zones with no more than a 10 percent change across each line. But the zones could be small, were left up to the companies and could provide for major differences, over 200 percent between urban and outstate areas. While some objectionable provisions remained,' the new proposal saved outstate citizens millions of dollars over the original bill that passed.-We went vigorously to work to convince suf­ ficient Democrats they should support the changes. Insurance companies and outstate legislators threatened a petition drive if the new version was not accepted. We won! Or at least I thought we did. Now some tell me I shouldn’t have supported any conference report as that is the final vote that sends a bill to the Governor. And that’s true. If we could have prevented any con­ ference report from passing until the end of the session, December 3, 1980, the new Act would not have gone into affect. Could that have been done? I doubt it. I’ve,, never seen it happen in my career here. Furthermore, on this particular issue, we had a Supreme Court decision saying we had to take some action. But that’s a judgment call. My judgment. Your judgment. Who’s to know for sure? Nashville News continued— November 19. Present for Thanksgiving day dinner with Mrs. Johncock and son Doug were: Mr. and Mrs. Larry (Suzy) Corkwell and daughters of Nashville; Mr. and Mrs. Tom (Janet) Thornton and daughters of Assyria; and Mr. and Mrs. Dick (Shire) Johncock and children of Hastings. In the afternoon a-phone call was placed to Sheryl (Johncock) West and children at Colorado Springs, Colorado. They were house-bound by more than two feet of snow that inundated the Rocky Mountain region in a pre-Thanksgiving blizzard that left more than 40 inches in some areas of the west. A fire alarm last Tuesday afternoon called the Nashville firefighters to a cornfield on the Thornapple Lake Road property of Mrs. Hugh Feighner. Corn stubble had been ignited by a clutch burning out on a brush hog being operated in the field. About four acres of land were involved in the blaze. Chris, Tom and David Parrott, sons of Forrest Parrott of New Carlisle, Ohio and grandsons of the late George and Nettie Parrott of Nashville, were Thanksgiving day callers oh Mr. and Mrs. Fred Ackett of this village.

Sports M.V. girls end regular season Valley girls ended their regular basketball season here Tuesday night with a 49­ 47 victory over Central Montcalm for Parents Night. The Lions jumped off to a 11-4 first quarter lead and never trailed in the game. The only real threat to the Valley lead came in the final quarter when the hosts were unable to connect on several key lay-ups and the Hornets used the opportunity to close the scoring gap. Central came within one point, 44-43, of Valley with 3:22 to play. Neither team could connect until Lion Tuesday Aspinall scored on a lay-up with 1:50 remaining to be played. Julie Barlow finally put the game out of reach with two free-throws with 1:27 to be played. Much of Central’s scoring came at the free-throw line where they hit on 21 of 37. MV was 13 of 27 from the charity stripe. Tuesday Aspinall led all scorers with 23 points. Melissa Coffman and Julie Barlow led the defense with 6 and 5 steals respectively. Diane Cook grabbed 9 rebounds and Lori Decker 8. The next step for the Lion girls will be Wednesday at Olivet as they begin district tournament play. They will meet the winner of the Middleville-Bellevue game played on Monday night. Game time Wednesday will be 8:30 p.m. At Monday’s awards banquet, Tuesday Aspinall and Julie Barlow were co most valuable player recognition. The girls co­ captained the team for the season. Tuesday holds 3 varsity records including Send For Free Booklet ‘100% Bran New Recipes’ most steals in one game, 13; best field goal percentage in one game, 64 percent; and as a 3 year letter winner on the varsity, holds the career scoring record. Julie shares the field goal percentage record with Tuesday and has the record for most steals in one season. The team also set two scoring marks. They scored 64 points against Carson City for the most points scored in one game and also tallied 26 points in one quarter for a new record. Also honored for their contributions to the girls basketball program were seniors Joyce Warner and Kathy Christopher. Joyce has given many hours of volunteer service to the 5th and 6th grade girls program which has been much ap­ preciated. A special thanks goes to Lynn Skedgell for making special T-shirts for the girls. The JV Girls lost to Cen­ tral Montcalm 30-6. High scorer was Rachel Hartenburg with 4 points. A dozen do-it-yourself items that can be checked in a half-hour or less by any motorist are called the key to carefree driving this winter by Automobile Club of Michigan. With approximately 40 percent of Michigan motorists pumping their own gasoline, it’s important they take charge of car care to keep vehicles running properly. “Even full-service station attendants often neglect to check major items under the hood necessary for troublefree motoring,” states Robert M. Smith, Auto Club’s Emergency Road Service manager. Armed with a tirepressure gauge, screwdriver and an inexpensive device used for checking antifreeze strength, any motorist can make the following dozen pre-winter checks: - Maintain motor oil level. (Oil should be changed and filter replaced according to the car’s operating manual.) -- Clean battery terminals and dirty cables with a baking soda and water solution, and check the battery fluid level. - Hold the carburetor air filter up to the sun or next to a flashlight. If you can’t see through it, it’s time for replacement. Obituaries Morning, noon or -night!

Before retirement, she taught for 37 years in the Eaton County Rural Schools and Potterville School Systems in addition to Vermontville.

Funeral services were held Saturday at the Pray Funeral Home with in­ terment in Gresham Cemetery. — Fill the windshield washer reservoir with a good commercial solvent to prevent freezing. - Brake fluid level should be within a quarter-inch of the top of the master cylinder. A screwdriver is needed to pry off the clip that holds the cover of the brake fluid chamber. - Test for fan belt tension and look for fraying. Press your thumb on the middle of each drive belt. If the belt gives more than a half-inch, have it tightened or replaced. Power steering fluid level can be checked on a dipstick similar to the oil. To avoid overfilling, add proper fluid gradually and test the level several times. Check the radiator’s coolant level and strength of antifreeze. Some cars have overflow tanks were the level can be checked visually. Strength of antifreeze can be checked easily with a radiator hydrometer. Drain, flush and refill the radiator every two years with a 50-50 solution of antifreeze and water. Check radiator hoses and connections for leaks. - Check the automatic transmission fluid with a dipstick located just behind the engine on the passenger side of most cars. The car should be parked on a level grade with the engine run­ ning. - replace worn windshild wipers. -- Check tires for pressure with a gauge and check tread wear. Don’t forget to check the spare. - Turn on all lights and turn signals to make sure they operate. Smith advises motorists to make those checks on a All the procedures can be performed on a cold, non­ running engine with the exception of the automatic transmission fluid. Perusal of the owner’s manual will provide the motorist with recommended intervals for other maintenance steps. “A properly maintained automobile does not need to be winterized,” Smith states. “But, a car that has been neglected should have a complete pre-winter tune-up by a professional mechanic.” Smith also suggests motorists turn on heaters and defrosters to make sure they work and check the exhaust system for leaks or corrosion. “Of course, there’s more to keeping a vehicle per­ forming than these basic tests. Air conditioning, wheel alignment and brakes should be checked periodically by an expert,” he says. “If motorists perform preventive checks on a regular basis, they will steer clear of huge repair bills and inconveniences during another unpredictable Michigan winter,” says Smith.

Harvest machinery should be prepared early in the season to allow plenty of time to order parts and make proper adjustments. This can prevent last-minute time losses and carelessness caused by hurrying. Always block machines^ to work on them do not rely on hydraulics to support the header’s weight. Certain field preparations are also important. Stones, stumps and ditches that are easy to see at planting time may be hidden by the corn and should be marked or removed before harvest. When a combine hits one of these, down time for repairs puts pressure on the operator to catch up. A good weed control program is also an im­ portant safety factor which many people don’t recognize. Weeds tend to plug machines and cause delays which increase hurrying and fatigue. Be sure all PTO shields and guards are in place before going to the field. Make sure everyone is clear of the machine before you start up and move. Machinery operators should wear snug but comfortable clothing when working and keep hands and feet away from moving parts. If an adjustment has to be made in the field, turn the engine off before getting off and wait for all moving parts to stop completely. Slowmoving parts may still have enough momentum to shear a finger. Avoid exceeding the machines capacity by running at too high ground speed.

To prevent fatigue in the field, wear ear muffs or plugs around noisy machines and take frequent breaks. Adverse conditions require •special precautions. When harvesting under extremely dry conditions, check frequently for overheated bearings and accumulation of dry chaff. Always have a UL-rated, dry chemical fire extinguisher (rated 2AZOBC or higher) mounted on the combine or tractor. -If wet conditions occur, use special equipment, such as wide tires and half-tracks. Avoid low spots that are muddy and weedy. Come back to them later, if possible. On hillsides, drive slowly and always maintain con­ trol. If space permits, make large, looping turns and avoid attempting to shift gears when going up or down hills. When unloading grain from a combine, be sure the auger is free to swing. Keep fingers away from pinch points. Unloading should be done on level ground so the auger can be handled easily. No one should be in the grain tank when the auger is running. If grain bridges, stop the auger and shut offthe engine before attempting to free the grain. Run elevators and augers at the correct speed. When grain is flowing into or out of a bin, stay out. Wear a dust mask when handling dusty or moldy grain. Always use a safety rope and harness when breaking a grain bridge. Before entering a silo, remember to run the blower for 20 minutes to remove any hazardous gas present. If you suspect gas is still present when you enter, wear self-contained breathing apparatus. Whenever operating farm machinery on public roads, make sure a bright SMV emblem is in place. Use the equipment’s flashing lights and headlights whenever possible. Remember that slowing a combine1 too rapidly tends to raise the rear wheels and steering ability may be lost. Foresight and alertness on the part of the operator can keep machine and operator out of potentially dangerous situations.

Ruby Ball; vice­ president, Thelma Soya; secretary, Jean Welker and treasurer, Ila Gray. Reporter, Reva Schantz. showed goat types, health, housing and management. Comments from her trip to Switzerland and the types of goats she observed, added an interesting note to her program. According to Dr. Baumgardner, the interest in dairy goats is rapidly growing. This is because it’s possible to raise several goats on a small parcel of land and for a source of milk they are easier and cheaper to keep than a cow. Goats may also be used for driving carts, as pack animals' and companions, and as a source of meat. For more information on dairy goats, contact the Eaton County Cooperative Extension Service.

Projects will involve development of the park and playground at the proposed Riverside Park, in­ corporating barrrier-free designs at Putnam Library, and implementing street improvements, he said. Monday was Reid’s first day on the job. He is working under the direction of Barry County Grants Coordinator Sylvia Dulaney in her Hastings office where he may be reached at 945-5121 Nashville Brownies and Girl Scouts complete Christmas project Wearing Brownie smiles as they pose with the stockings and other Christmas goodies which will make Christmas merrier for gther children are Kristen Brzycki, Nina Crabtree, Marci Goodner, Stacy Miller, Stacy Travis, Jennifer Svoboda, Cindy Kesler, Jill Langer, Shannon Pufpaff, Fran House, Pam Williams, Tanya Tilley, Robin Smith and Patty Jarman, The Brownies and the Girl Scouts combined their talents to make the stockings and other fun things to stuff them with like jump ropes, marble bags, yarn dolls, pom pom chickens, bags -of candy, toy caterpillars, and more. The stockings will be on display at Johnson's Furniture. In the true spirit of Christmas giving, Nashville Brownie Troop 221, under the direction of leader Kathy Bryzcki, and Girl Scout Troop 730, with leader Bea Pino at the help, have been as busy as Santa's elves making sure that 35 area children will each have a bright red stocking full of handmade toys and candy. The stockings are to be donated to the United Methodist Church which will distribute them to Nashville area children. Participating Girl Scouts display their Christmas sharing project in the photo and include Heather Dull, Amy Kellogg, Denise Jarman, Kris Burd, Tracy House, Ronda Steinbrecker, Stepanie Langer, Lora Kienutske, Dina James, Wendy Thompson, Jodi Spidel, Penny Ruthruff, Sissy Adams, and Sonya Thompson. for more information and consideration in the home rehabilitation phase of the project.

Most recently he has been employed as a correction officer with the Barry County Sheriff Department, supervising inmates and handling other jail duties. The tenure of his new position is expected to be beyond the two years of the immediate project, providing that grants are forthcoming, as anticipated for the Irving. Freeport, Woodland, and Middleville areas. Steven Reid, new community development assistant, looks over the plan for the $405,000 community block grant'for the Nashville-Castleton and Maple Grove Townships areas.

See you there! �The Maple Valley News Nashville. Wednesday. December 5, 1979 — Page 2 Nashville News Does your family celebrate Christinas in a unique way, or do you own a creche or other seasonal decor that has been handed down through several generations? Is your holiday menu somewhat out of the ordinary? Perhaps it is prepared from favorite recipes passed from great-grandmothers to the present generation. If so. we would like to hear from you. The Maple Valley News Staff is seeking local subjects for photographs and stories featuring unusual customs ob­ served as a family’s personal Yuletide tradition. Along that line, if you paused to note the lovely oldfashioned Christmas tree placed in the window of Thor­ napple General Store last week, you were viewing a tradition started over 100 years ago in the family of Mrs. David (Caroline) Dimmers, proprietor of the store. Serving as a base for the tree is an intriguing Christmas “garden,” complete with two-story house, fountain and miniature fish­ pond. It was built by Caroline’s great-grandfather Rauschenberger more than a century ago and has been handed down through the family, lending its own special magic to each Christmas season. It is now enjoyed by the Dimmers’ children, Martha and Julie, who represent the fifth generation to decorate the marvelous creation of Rauschenberger, a Saline cabinetmaker of German descent. (Complete details appear elsewhere in this issue of the Maple Valley News.) Entries are still needed for Nashville’s Chamber of Commerce-sponsored Christmas Parade set for 10:00 a.m. Saturday, December 8. Anyone wishing to participate may contact Chamber president Charles Andrus, Jr., or parade chairman Dave Mace. An Easter lily at the home of Mrs. Ruby Ball of Nashville may have been a little confused as to season, but perhaps it knew a holiday was imminent. The 3-feet tall plant put on a spectacular show just in time for Thanksgiving by sprouting three beautiful large blossoms. The lily, which had also flowered at Eastertime last spring, was about a foot high when Mrs. Ball moved it into the house just before our first frost this fall. It had grown the additional two feet in that short span of time. Mrs. Ball reports that it is rather unusual for a lily to blossom twice in one year. The Nashville Chamber of Commerce will meet at the Steakhouse restaurant for a 7 p.m. dinner Wednesday, December 12. Mr. and Mrs. Ahmo Jordan are in charge of dinner reservations for the event. Election of officers for the new year is scheduled, with a nominating committee comprised of Dave Mace, George Hermenitt, and Rev. Leonard Putnam. Remember to take advantage of the unique bake sale being sponsored by the local Friends of the Library group (his holiday season. From December 1 through December 15 lhe FOL members will be taking orders for custom baking. Customers may place orders by calling the library during open hours, or may contact Mrs. Dennis Hay, chairperson of the event.

She is a Nashville native, having grown up here in her family home which is now the Adolph Douse residence on North Main. Nashville’s first Armistice celebration, November 11, 1918, brings memories from Wayne Fuller, a local native now of Toledo, Ohio. “I remember the effigy of the Kaiser very well,” wrote Fuller, referring to a recent “Memories” on local reaction to the end of World War I, which entailed dragging a dummy of the German monarch down Main Street in an impromptu parade. Fuller, whose family lived southeast of Nashville, was in town that afternoon. “Someone had a miniature cannon and it was' loaded with black powder,” he added. “They shot the effigy with it arid I can still see the smoke.” About the late Mary White, another recent “Memories” subject.

Present in addition to Mr. and Mrs. Sheldon were daughter Julie Ellen ofNashville, Jim and Lori Sheldon ofLudington and Gary and Paula (Sheldon) Kimble and Julie Michelle Murphy of Morrison Lake. In the “Surprised - nobody - caught - our - goof’ department: The ornate cherry staircase, fashioned by the late Issac N. Kellogg of Nashville and mentioned in a recent “Memories” feature on him, was located in the old Kocher dry goods store, not J. B. Kraft’s. Kellogg was noted for creating the beautiful open staircase which ascended to the upper floor of John and Will Kocher’s business, before it became Hannemann’s dry goods and, later, Line’s Dept. Store. Kocher’s was located two doors south of the Buxton Block (present-day Nashville Flowers, commonly called the old Stop & Shop building). The store owned by J. B. Kraft and sons, Ed and Urias, was situated between the Buxton Block and Kocher’s. When the new post office building was constructed in 1966, both the former Kraft and Kocher stores were torn down, but Issac Kellog’s elaborate masterpiece was preserved. The dismantled cherry staircase is still kept in storage by Tim and Alice Boucher of Nashville, owners of the present-day post office building.

The party was staged by members of the Monday Night Special, a bluegrass and gospel music group of which the Vessecchias are members. The musicians meet weekly at the McMillon home on Monday evenings. There were over thirty persons present for the gathering last week in honor of Cathy’s birthday. Another surprise party recently staged in our village honored Kelly Christopher, a week before her December 2nd marriage to Douglas Aspinall. Both are of Nashville. At an event hosted by Mrs. John (Ruth) Hughes, the bride-to-be was surprised by a gathering of 12 youngsters for whom she regularly baby-sits. Also attending the bridal shower were mothers of the youngsters. Kelly arrived at the Hughes house under the assumption that she was to baby-sit the youngsters. The ruse worked; and a dozen little ones greeted the sitter when she opened the door, as the mothers stayed briefly out of sight. The shower was highlighted by a beautiful bridal doll cake baked by Sandy Priddy of Nash­ ville. Dr. and Mrs. Morris (Nita) Brown of Nashville were at Ludington for two days over the Thanksgiving weekend, for a gathering of her family.

While Meadow Brook is open year-round for tours, a special Christmas excursion through the elegant mansion is designated to raise proceeds for preservation of the historic hall. The holiday tour is an annual event.

Dorothy's car was pushed by the impact into the path of a pickup truck driven by a Battle Creek man. Dorothy was treated at Leila Hospital and released; the young girl driver was admitted and reported in good condition. Thanksgiving brought a houseful of guests to the home of Mary and M.

The bright shades of red in this fall’s display of color may mean large-volume, high-quality maple syrup production for Michigan next spring. Though no direct scientific correlation has been made between the color of leaves in the fall and the production of maple syrup the following spring, there may be some connection between the two, says Mel Koelling, Michigan State University Cooperative Extension Service forestry specialist. He explains that the production of maple syrup depends upon the amount of sap produced and collected in the spring and the con­ centration of sugar in the sap. Both factors are af­ fected by weather conditions during the previous year’s growing season, which runs from June through Sep­ tember. The amount of fall color also depends on weather conditions during these months Adequate supplies of moisture and sunshine are required to produce high quality sugar and brightly colored leaves. “The past summer was a good growing season for the trees,” Koelling says. “There was a good distribution of moisture and favorable temperatures, and no early frosts. In addition, there was ample rainfall in August and a lot of bright sunshine in September.” Koelling said the excellent color across the state this fall should correlate to good syrup production in the spring, but this cannot be guaranteed because the weather in the spring is a big factor. . For the sap to flow in the springtime, alternately freezing and thawing tem­ peratures are required. Maximum sap flow can be expected when the tem­ perature dips below zero at night and rises above 45 degrees in the daytime. If cold weather continues later into spring, however, the sugar may be high quality but the volume will be low. Maple syrup producers can reduce the effect of weather conditions by using vacuum pumps and tubing systems to gather sap, Koelling suggests. Connecting holes by a series of tubing lines to a vacuum pump enables the producer to collect sap even when temperatures drop below zero at night but don’t get high enough the following day to allow the sap to flow from the tree. The vacuum pump will create the extra pressure that is needed then. Although Michigan is among the top five states in the production of maple syrup, the resource is barely being used, Koelling says. “We have a much larger potential than what we are producing,” he says. “Only about five percent of the tappable trees in the state are being used. Maple syrup is probably one of the few agricultural products in the state for which demand exceeds supply,” A major problem is the rising cost of running the evaporators that are used to remove the water, from the sap. On the average, sap contains two percent sugar and it takes 43 gallons of sap to produce 1 gallon of syrup. Recent increases in the price of fuel oil have made the evaporation process very expensive. Koelling says many producers are considering going back to burning wood to operate the evaporatores. Research is being done on making existing evaporators more efficient and con­ verting them to use wood for fuel. Self-esteem bulletin available “The Adult’s Role in Aiding Adolescent Self­ Esteem,” a new bulletin is now available from the Eaton Cooperative Ex­ tension, says Eaton Ex­ tension Home Economist, Ann Ross. Although Adolescence can be an awkward time for many teens, some find it a period of stress and turmoil while others see it as merely another stage in life. Several recent studies have gathered evidence that most teens are well adjusted and that there is not ex­ cessive chaos in teens’ lives. These studies have shown that human development, including adolescence, is a steady, continuous and gradual process. During the teen years, young people are ex ex-­ perimenting with life, and the behaviors which result may often displease and puzzle adults. Teens test their abilities and limits at this time. Giving teens the in­ dependence they need for growing can often be dif­ ficult for parents. Letting your youngster have the freedom to make choices means that sometimes those choices will be wrong and will hurt. Teens need responsive individuals to. model themselves after, “role models” in other words. Acceptance and understanding from an adult they admire helps teens feel they are winnings in their battle with society. Parents may also want to obtain copies of the bulletin “Adolescence and Self­ Esteem: Being There”, from the Extension office for their adolescent children.

She and her brother made a trip to the neighborhood, variety store where each could select a goldfish for their Christmas garden. “It was quite a treat,” Caroline recalls. “We were each allowed to pick our own favorite fish for the garden.” The Christmas garden was a tradition that had been handed down into the fourth generation of the family at the time of Caroline’s childhood. Today, the Dimmers’ daughters Martha and Julie, representing the fifth generation of the family, still enjoy decorating the unique creation fashioned by their great­ great grandfather Rauschenberger over a century ago. A Saline cabinetmaker of German descent, he had built the Christmas garden to hold the family’s holiday tree. On a table-like base, Rauschenberger constructed a two-story doll house complete with spacious terraced, lawn and a miniature fish pond. “I can remember Mother telling me that, as a child, she used to gather moss every Christmas to cover the lawn of the garden,” said Caroline, Her mother, now Mrs. Marian Adair of Ft. Wayne, has in recent years Had the Rauschenberger masterpiece rejuvenated, including covering the lawn with grass-like carpeting. Moss gathering isno longer necessary at Christmas time, but fish still swim in the pool. Water for the pond is circulated through an unusual route. Fed into a well by lifting the roof off the house, the water is carried by an under-table tube to a fountain cascading into the pond. dining starts with basic for Want-Ads It packs a punch, Moto-Ski® GRAND PRIX* SPECIAL Caroline Dimmers decorates the unique "Christmas Garden" which her great­ grandfather fashioned over a century ago.

Improvements designed to save energy, such as in­ stalling additional in­ sulation, storm windows and doors, caulking, and in some cases modifying heating systems will, in many cases, save more than enough to repay the loan funds borrowed for the improvements, according to William J. Meyer. In addition to energy conservation, repair loans may also be used to remove health and safety hazards such, as repairing roofs, providing sanitary water and waste disposal systems, and upgrading electrical wiring.

(tfn) WINTER WRAP-UP - Issues to be dealt with during these final days of the 1979 session include legislation on wetlands, public employees’ right to strike, restructuring Wayne County government and the increasing of oil and gas severance taxes in Michigan. PETITION DRIVES - Two petition drives have begun to place on the 1980 ballot issues that were also topics in 1978: restoring the death penalty for first-degree murder; and lowering the legal drinking age to 19 from the present 21. PAY HIKE? - The Compensation Hearings Panel has recommended that all state employees get a 10 percent pay hike for the 1980-81 fiscal year. However, Governor Milliken has already indicated his opposition, and legislative ap­ proval is unlikely . BUDGET CUTS - In preparing his recommendations for the 1980-81 fiscal year, the Governor has noted that state revenue will show little or no increase over present levels. Therefore, he has said it will be necessary to either‘raise taxes to maintain current services, or to cut services and have no tax increase. His initial thoughts have been for a 20 percent cut. COAST GUARD - The U.S. Coast Guard Academy is now accepting applications for appointment to the Class of 1984. Graduating high school seniors interested in attending must submit their applications by December 15; many factors are considered. For an application, write to the Director of Admissions, U.S. Coast Guard Academy, New London, Connecticut 06320. LAND INVENTORY - Both houses of the legislature have now approved SB 443, which requires the Department of Natural Resources to conduct arid complete within three years an inventory of the state’s land resources and how they are used. This will then be used for state land plans as well as to help local governments manage their land resources too. RACING VETO - Back before the legislature is IBB 4531, which was vetoed by Governor Milliken. It would have prohibited withholding income taxes on racetrack winnings; and would have allowed betting losses to be deducted from winnings. He said this was bad tax policy. SCHOOL PRAYER - Now in the Senate is HB 4508, which would require public schools to provide students with time for prayer. Such time is presently allowed but not required. The bill was approved in the House by a 2-to-l margin despite questions on its constitutionality. RAPID RAIL - The Governor will soon sign into law SB 469; which will join Michigan with six other nearby states in a study on building a, rapid-rail transit system between major cities in those states. These would be similar to 100mph trains now used in Japan and Europe.

Host families sought for high school exchange students Local families have the opportunity to share in an unusual Christmas gift this year by inviting a South American student to live with them. “Sharing your home and love with an exchange student eager to learn about America, can be a gift to enrich your life," states John Richardson, Jr., President of Youth for Understanding and former Assistant Secretary of State for Education and Cultural Affairs. “It is an opportunity to learn about another culture in a very personal way.” Youth for Understanding is a non-profit educational program that has exchanged over 75,000 teenagers worldwide, since 1951. It is one of three high school student exchange programs recognized by the International Communication Agency of the U.S. Depart­ ment of State. . “The purpose of this program is to increase in­ ternational understanding through the family-living experience for young people and we are inviting families to share the spirit of America with students from South America,” said Sharon Martin, Regional Director of the Youth for Understanding International Student Exchange Program. Students like Elsa Nieto of Colombia and Paulo de Mello of Brazil will be living with host families and attending local high school. Elsa is a serious piano student who also enjoys playing the guitar. She has interests similar to American seventeen - year olds, including tennis, volleyball, dancing and reading. Elsa describes herself as sincere, polite and friendly. She would like to live with a host family in a small town and have a sister close to her own age. She has studied English and French for several years. Paulo is 15 and enjoys sports in his home town of Rio de Janerio. Basketball, soccer and volleyball are his favorites but he also likes swimming and rowing. A four year student of English, Paulo also excels in math and art. He hopes to live with an active sports-minded family. Exchange students become members of their new families and have the same responsibilities and privileges as other children Tn the home. Maximum effort is made to match the students and families with similar interests. Host families for 800 students, who arrive in January for a six month stay, are needed for December 25 to insure school enrollment. Families interested in participating in the program who care to contribute in this individual way to better understanding and friendship among peoples of our world should contact: Sharon Martin, Regional Director, Youth for Un­ derstanding, 4056 Plainfield NE, Suite C, Grand Rapids, MI 49505.

Nashville. Wednesday, December 12, 1979 — Page 2 Nashville News It’s a small world after all, Nashville pharmacist Dave Mace discovered last week. In making a routine phone call to Wyeth Laboratories in Chicago, Mace, owner of Simon Pharmacy, identified himself as being located in Nashville, Michigan. “Oh yes, I know where that is,” answered a man’s voice on the other end of the line. “I used to live there. ” Further conversation disclosed that the fellow on the phone in Chicago was Lentz Chaffee, Jr., great-great grandson of Jacob Lentz, who founded the Lentz Table Company here in 1867. The family connection goes something like this: Jacob had three sons, Charles, Albert and Lewis, who soon joined him in the family business. In 1883 Lewis married Helen Allen and they eventually took up residence in the Maple Street home now occupied by Dr. and Mrs. Morris Brown. Lewis and Helen Lentz had a daughter named Olah. She grew up here, but later moved to Grand Rapids when she married a Chaffee related to the furniture manufacturing family in that city. Olah and her husband became parents of boy-girl twins, whom they named Helen and Lentz. The youngsters often spent summers here visiting their grandparents. As a young lady, Helen Chaffee moved to New York but died there in her early 20’s. Her twin brother Lentz married a Hastings girl, also named Helen, and they took up residence in Nashville. Both are now gone but their son, Lentz Chaffee, Jr., 43, now lives and works in Chicago. He was raised in Nashville, however, and the strange twist offate is that Dave Mace now lives in the same State Street home where young Lentz Chaffee, Jr. grew up a factlhat surfaced quite coincidentally in their brief phone conversation last week. Thanks to Mrs. Arthur (Margaret Furniss) Bateman of Nashville for helping us unravel this confusing family tree, which included a Helen Lentz, two Helen Chaffees, and two Lentz Chaffees. Dave didn’t get that all sorted out in his short phone conversation with Lentz, but did give him an upto-date report on the former Chaffee home. Mrs. Bateman also brought our attention to the fact that the bell at the Nashville United Methodist Church is now being rung daily at noon as a reminder of the captives held in Iran. “It’s a reminder to pray that the hostages are returned safely,” as Margaret put it, “and that the Lord will speak to the Ayatollah Khomeini.” The United Methodist bell is being tolled at Margaret’s suggestion with her husband, Art, currently performing the daily task. She hopes that all other community churches will join in the chiming call to prayer, feeling strongly that if everyone prays together it’s bound to have a positive effect. Recent visitors at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Larry Cork­ well of Nashville have been his sister and family, Margaret and Mike Sheridan and daughters, Andria and Micah, from Alvin, Texas. They have been in Michigan two weeks visiting relatives here and in Hastings. A real treat for Andria, 4, was building her first snowman during our most recent downfall. In fact, she hoped to take frozen snowballs back to her nursery school playmates but our snow dissipated too soon. The Sheridans flew to Michigan. Ethel and Jerry Bandfield of Nashville celebrated their 30th wedding anniversary November 26, and in honor of the occasion were guests of their son Jeff and his friend, Peg Burgie of Charlotte, for Saturday evening dinner at Mountain Jack’s in Lansing. Mr. and Mrs. Bandfield were married in 1949 at Charlotte. Injuries sustained by Mrs. Dorothy Schutte of Nashville in a wintery auto crash two weeks ago on a Battle Creek Street By Susan Hinckley ville, usher; Wayne Harris of Olivet, bus worker; Dan Phares of Nashville, child church worker; Sue Smith of Hastings and Dorothy Priddy of Nashville, nursery workers; Carol Skinner of Olivet, Sunday School teacher; and Debby Burkett ofBellevue, top lay church worker of the year. Debby has worked in the Nashville Baptist bus ministry since its inception five years ago and is also responsible for major church decorations, including artistic arrangements in the vestibule. Winners were selected on the basis of attendance, church service, action and a Christ-like attitude. Three trustee seats on the Nashville Village Council, plus the posts of village president, clerk, treasurer and assessor, will open in the spring. Nominating petitions are currently out to fill these various positions. Village Clerk Suzy Cork­ well advises that the deadline for filing the petitions is 4 p.m. Tuesday, December 18. If necessary, a primary election will be held in February. The general village election is scheduled for March 10. We were so sorry to learn of the death last Tuesday of Eda Elliston of Nashville.She was a dear little lady with a perky spirit. Last February Eda gave us a great deal of assistance in a “Memories” story on the late Flora(“Ma”)Taylor. Mrs. Taylor was an aunt to Eda Travis Elliston. She and Eda’s mother, Mrs. Lewis (Ruia Kelly) Travis were sisters, which gave her niece a keen insight to the personality of the now­ legendary “Ma” Taylor. It was Eda who was with her Aunt Flora when she passed away at her home near the Taylor Feed Barn and Livery Stable on Nashville’s South Main Street in 1935. In recent years Eda has lived alone (her husband, Ira, died in 1959), and she often told us how much she looked forward to receiving the Maple Valley News each week. We will miss Eda, and extend sincere condolences to her family. A holiday musical program entitled, “The Christmas Story,” will be presented by the Nashville Baptist Church choir at 7 p.m. Sunday, December 16. On December 30th a newly-formed gospel trio from Canton, Ohio, known as “The Brothers”, will perform during 11 a.m. Sunday services at the Nashville Baptist Church. The trio is part of the original Cathedral Quartet, a group that performed for a capacity crowd at the church here in November. The Builders Class of the Nashville United Methodist Church will meet Wednesday, December 19, for a potluck dinner at the parsonage. Time of the event is 7:00 p. m. The Nashville Woman’s Literary Club will meet Wed­ nesday, December 19, at the home of Mrs. Margaret Swiger of Nashville. Assisting the hostess with serving will be the tea committee comprised of Mrs. Nita Brown and Mrs. Bessie Myers. Entertainment for the 7:30 p.m. event will be furnished by Maurice Purchis of Nashville, demonstrating his craft of creating stained glass art objects. Still another fascinating chapter was added to our recent “Memories” story on Nashville’s first Armistice celebration when a letter arrived last week from Kenneth A. Meade, a Nashville native now of Franklin. “I bought my first and only shotgun on November 11,1918 and used it to celebrate witti,” he wrote. “We went around shooting it in the air.” Meade still owns the gun which he purchased the day the first World War ended, and it still works. “I bought it from Seth I Zemer,” he added. Meade used the gun to hunt rabbits and other game when he was in high school here, and for a few years afterwards. “Never was much of a hunter,” he concluded. “I did not like to eat the stuff after I killed it. ” CARD OF THANKS Officers for the new year will be elected by the Nashville We thank our children for Chamber of Commerce when the organization meets hosting an open house for our Wednesday evening, December 12, at the Steakhouse 25th wedding anniversary. restaurant in Nashville.

Dorothy had been treated and released at the hospital following the November 28th accident, in which an auto driven by a 17-year-old Battle Creek girl slid sideways into the path of Dorothy’s car. That impact pushed Dorothy into the path of a pickup truck driven by a Battle Creek man. Difficulties developing after the incident necessitated Dorothy’s confinement to Leila for tests. She suffered multiple bruises and some lacerations in the mishap. The Nashville Garden Club met last Tuesday at the Community House of the local United Methodist Church for a Christmas celebration. A potluck dinner and gift exchange were enjoyed, and memories were shared as each member was called on to recount their most memorable Christmas. Studies of the month included the poinsettia, the rutabaga and goldenrod. Hostesses for the event were Mrs. Ruby Ball and Mrs. Irene Bloom, both of Nashville. Christmas boxes for elderly shut-ins of our community were prepared by members of the Maple Grove Birthday Club when they met last Wednesday at the home of Mrs. William (Reva) Schantz of rural Nashville. Children and teens of the Nashville Assembly of God Church will present a Christmas program of music and poems at the 10:00 a.m. Sunday service, December 16. At the 7:00 p.m. service that evening, teens and adults of the church will be presenting a play entitled, “Christmas is a Miracle”. Descendants of the late James and Mary Jane (Miller) Hummel of Nashville gathered for a family Christmas reunion at Kalamo Township Hall on Sunday, December 2. Over sixty persons were present for the potluck dinner af­ fair, an annual event which has been hosted the past eight years by Hummel’s grandson, Joel, and his wife, Gladys, of Kalamo. Joel is the son of the late Earl Hummel of Nash­ ville. Many local families were represented at the reunion, including the Mix, Hinckley and Appelman families, in addition to children and grandchildren of the Joel Hummels and other Hummel family members. Mr. and Mrs. Gilbert Coikins of Nashville returned home last week after a Thanksgiving trip to Texas. The Corkins flew to San Antonio from Detroit, to visit Peggy’s brother and sister-in-law, Mr. and Mrs. Alvin Van Alstine at Kingsland. The Van Alstines* daughter, Annabelle, was also home for the holiday. She lives at Denison, Texas. The Corkins enjoyed good weather throughout their week-long stay. Edgar Rhoades of Topeka, Kansas, son of Rev. and Mrs. E. F. Rhoades of Nashville, was scheduled to undergo rather serious surgery at Topeka last Wednesday, due to cancer of the esophagus. He faces a long recuperative period that will be brightened by the fact that his wife is a registered nurse who is able to care for him at home. The Sveden House in Lansing was the scene of a December Istdinner honoring workers in all departments of the Nashville Baptist Church. Over 150 were present for the banquet, which is expected to become an annual event. Special music for the occasion was furnished by Larry Szabl of Grand Ledge and Neal Johnson of Nashville. Pastor Lester DeGroot delivered a message to the workers based on Revelations 22:3, “And his servants shall serve him”. Special recognition and “Woifcer of the Year” awards went to the following people in the various categories listed: George Toman of Nashville, teen choir worker; Greg Bower of Vermontville, adult choir worker; Wes Erwin of Nash- A sign of the past Motorists westbound on Reed Street in Nashville now find a constant "Memory of the Past" as they approach the Main Street intersection. Straight ahead ,ona on a building owned by Jim Powers, is an antique sign advertising authorized s service and genuine parts for the Whippet and Willys-Knight autos. The sign probably originated with the late Ralph Olin, local Overland dealer who introduced the European style Whippet to Nashvill Nashville in i June 1926 at a special showing in his salesrooms in the McLaughlin Building (present-day Baby Bliss). Powers received the sign from Forrest Babcock of Nashville, whose father, the late Horace Babcock, had it around their Main Street home for many years. Forrest thinks the sign was used in the 1920 s on the former Jerry Capen garage on South Main, a now-demolished ­ building across from the present-day Curtis Craft Center. The structure on which the sign now rests was an early blacksmith shop and, later, an automotive garage operated for many years by the late Boyd Olsen. CHURCH CHOIR presents...

A fabulous smorgasbord dinner, including ham, turkey and Swedish meatballs, was prepared and served by Faye Salyers of Nashville at the St. Cyril Community Hall here. Several laughs were enjoyed when gag gifts were awarded but there were also some no - nonsense prizes raffled. Mrs. Norman (Nyla) Stanton won a ham; Mrs. Hubert (Carlene) Overholt won a turkey; and Mrs. Don (Phyllis) Skedgell was winner of a fruitcake. All are of Nashville.

The Administrative Board of the Nashville United Methodist Church will meet at 8 p.m. Tuesday, December 18, at the church. Christmas baskets are being provided for needy families in the Nashville area through an effort spearheaded by the local United Methodist Church.

Mrs. Lloyd (Elizabeth) Wilcox of Nashville accompanied her daughter, Mrs. Glenn (Lucille) Slocum of Hastings, to Athens last Thursday to call on Elizabeth’s sister, Mrs. Helen Black. Incidently, Elizabeth (Ritchie) Wilcox worked as a young girl at the Commercial Hotel on State Street, mentioned in last week’s “Memories.” Elizabeth had just entered high school when she went to woifc there in the early 1920’s for the wages of $5 per week. The proprietor’s name was Mrs. Murray (Myrtle) Kring-not King-as reported last week. (The 1927 village directory tire used as our source had misspelled the name). Another note of interest on the same subject: Charles Dahlhouser of Litchfield assumed ownership of George C. Deane’s clothing store shortly after the directory was published. The new merchant squelched concern about improved autos and roads hurting local business with this: “There are just as many roads leading into Nashville as out; more autos and better roads will increase Nashville business rather than hurt it.” He made the statement in an address to the local Community Club. Howard E. Brumm, a Nashville native currently residing at Thonotosassa, Florida, sent us a humorous antidote about early Nashville hardware dealer Cassius L. Glasgow, subject of a recent “Memories” story. Seems Glasgow was working in his store one day and needed some string to tie up a bundle of packing material. “Looking around he couldn’t see any string handy, but up on the wall some wire was stretched along the side of the building,” wrote Brumm. “Taking some wire nippers, Cass cut off,a piece ofwire 7 or 8 feet long and bound up the bundle.” A short time later Glasgow was advised by his office girl that the phone in the store was out of order, so he sent word by messenger to the local telephone office on Main Street to advise that his phone was dead. In due time a lineman arrived at the store. He started to check for the problem outside but found the line entrance into the building to be in order. “Then going inside he started to trace the line as it went through the store,” explained Brumm. “The wire was tacked up on the side of the building so it was easy to trace.” That is, until he came to a place where the line was not only broken, but a short section missing. “Cass had been watching the tracing of the wire, and when the lineman came to the missing wire section, he turned to Cass and said ’There’s the trouble’,” continued Brumm. The lineman thought Cass had a funny look on his face, until Glasgow confessed to being the culprit who had inadvertently cut the wire. “They had a good laugh together and thought the incident would end there,” added Brumm. “But somehow Fike (Len Feighner, editor­ publisher of the Nashville News) got wind of the affair to make a nice newsy item for his column, and it soon spread all over town.” Barry County Extension Service CALENDAR of EVENTS December - 4-H Christmas Tree sales continue, Courthouse lawn, Hastings December 11-13 - Annual West Michigan Livestock Show, Grand Rapids Civic Auditorium December 11 - MABC Dairy Breeding Seminar, Hospitality Inn, Cascade Road & 1-96, Grand Rapids December 12 - Grain Marketing meeting, 7:30-9:30 p.m., Community Building, Hastings December 12 - DHIA Annual Dinner, Noon, Coats Grove church building December 12 - 4-H Dairy Developmental Committee meeting, 8 p.m., Extension Office, Hastingsx December 13-14 - TelFarm Check-in, Community Building, Hastings December 17 - Lakewood Adult Ag Class, 8 p.m., Lakewood High School, “Tax Management” December 19 - Grain Marketing meeting, 7:30-9:30 p.m., Community Building, Hastings Nashville VFW 8260 & Auxiliary FISH & CHICKEN FRY FRIDAY, DEC. 14th NOTE: 2 months trial period...served cafeteria style — SERVING 5:30P.M. to 7:30 P.M.

The church, located on the northeast corner of the Washington and Phillips Street intersection, was suffering growing pains again. Over a 70-year span the 1887 structure was to be By Susan Hinckley stretched outward, upward, rear and forward, in three major building projects. Formed as an Evangelical class in the winter of 1885-86 after a series of bi-monthly Sunday afternoon sermons preached in Nashville’s town by hall Woodland’s Evangelical circuit minister Rev. W. A. Koehler, a small local congregation of 29 charter members soon The shape of Nashville's Evangelical Church changed dramatically overr a 70-year span. Original church on Phillips Street was small rectangular edifice (right portion of building in this about-1910 photo). Added in 1903 was wing, left, and entry tower, center. In 1926 entire structure was raised to add basement facilities. A 1957 project further revamped the structure which, after extensive additions, now houses the present-day Nashville Baptist Church. Thank you to... ROD & NORMA RAYMOND ...of the Maple Leaf Inn for the lovely dinner. — from the Vermontville Fire Department and Ambulance Crew arranged for construction of a 1,260 square ft. church on the Phillips Street site. The first alteration to that building came slightly more than a dozen years later. “Major improvements to the Evangelical Church have been completed,” advised the Nashville News in early Decefnber 1899. “Among other things, new front steps have been built, several gasoline lamps have been installed inside, the interior papered, and a furnace in­ stalled in the basement..” The tiny church was keeping pace with com­ munity growth which had that year seen construction of a new iron bridge across the Thornapple River on North Main and erection of a steel fire alarm tower on Maple Street. Installation of gas lamps in the church improved illumination, as it kept step with the times. “The new gasoline lights have become very popular here,” observed the News in November 1899, “and now there is scarcely a business place in town that is not lighted either by gasoline or acetylene lights.” Four years later, the Evangelical Church gained its first appendage. Con­ struction started in Jtine 1903 added a new wing and en­ trance tower to the building’s north side. “The new Evangelical Church was formally dedicated Sunday,” the News told readers early in November 1903. “The first church was built on the site of the present edifice, which now boasts a new wing, in addition to complete new interior decorations.” About the same time, there was formed in the Evangelical Church a young girls’ Sunday School group called the Cloverleaf Class. That class still exists today, though the original church has undergone various af­ filiation and name changes since then. “The Cloverleaf was formed when all the Sunday School classes were being organized at the Evangelical Church,” recalls Mrs. J.

In early years he also made Sunday afternoon circuit trip by horse and buggy to deliver weekly sermon at the North Castleton Evangelical Church, northeast Nashville. Smith of Nashville. She was a member of the class which she believes originated about 1904. Leah Walrath Partride, now of Flint, was another member of the first Cloverleaf Class. “We girls all grew up together,” she reminisced. By 1914 the young girls’ Sunday School class had evolved into an adult-age ladies’ study and service organization, as it still remains today. Even a 1946 consolidation with the United Brethern Church and a 1968 merger with the Methodists, to form the present-day United Methodist Church, did not affect the Cloverleaf Class. When the / United Evangelical Church merged with the Methodists, the ladies requested and received permission to retain the organization’s original title. While the Cloverleaf Class has remained steadfast over the years, the Evangelical Church changed not only name but shape. When Frank Russell noted in 1928 that the church was “all raised up,” the building was undergoing extensive renovation to add a basement kitchen, furnace room, lavatories "and other facilities. Thirty years later, another major construction project was underway at the United Evangelical Church. The edifice was growing, rear and forward. A back addition extended both the basement level and upper floor to provide an education unit below and a recessed chancel above. Up front, an expanded entryway dramatically changed the facade of the early structure. Spearheading the 1957 remodeling project was Rev. Cylde C. Gibson, who had recently retired after 50 years service, launched by a 3-year ministry here in 1909. In his early days as a local preacher, Rev. Gibson had made a Sunday afternoori circuit trip by horse and biIggy to deliver a weekly sermon at the North Castleton Evangelical Church on E. State Road. After many years of ministry in the Detroit area, Rev. Gibson returned to Nashville in 1955 to conclude his career by again serving the local congregation. Rev. Gibson passed away in 1978 but he, like the Cloverleaf Class, represents a constant in the history of the Evangelical Church in Nashville.

There are those that 'say the modern funeral home speaks little of death - the impres­ sion being that the funeral directors try to hide death. For some, this may be true. Yet, pastel colors and plea­ sant surroundings can also be us^i to lift the mind of the religious from the somber feelings that accompany death to the thought of eternal rest. From the viewpoint of the believer, death is in reality a graduation to 'the glorious world of the spirit.

Congressman Howard Wolpe called on Third District residents today to demonstrate to the Iranian government that American citizens are 100 percent behind the American government’s efforts to free the hostages in Iran. Wolpe asked all his constituents to write the Iranian Embassy in Washington expressing their outrage and demanding that the hostages be released. “One of the efforts of the Iranian government has been to suggest that the American people are not behind the President and the American Government on this crisis,” Wolpe said. “I think that we need to make it crystal clear, we need to get the message to Iran, that the American people, every man, woman, and child among us, demands the release of the hostages and that we will not submit to blackmail. I hope that every one of my constituents will draft a telegram or a letter expressing their outrage with the events in Iran and their support for President Carter, and send it to Ayatollah Khomeini in care of the Iranian Embassy in Washington.” Wolpe also stated that he is against returning the Shah to Iran at this time: “While I have serious questions in my own mind about the Shah’s admission to this country in the first place, I think it would be a serious mistake to acquiesce to the blackmail and terrorism that is taking place in Iran today. The release of the hostages is simply a non-negotiable item. Their safe release must be secured before any other discussions take place For all your Insurance Needs See the...

The young Lions soundly defeated visiting Caledonia 72-57 on Friday night and turned back their hosts Charlotte 54­ 53 on Saturday night. Both games provided plenty of excitement as the Lions battled their tough opponents. The 72-57 Lion victory over Caledonia was a hard-fought contest with a lot of good defense. Valley jumped off to a 20-10 point first quarter advantage over the Scotties by scoring off of defensive steals. Pat Kersjes tallied eight of his game total 18 points in that quarter. Foul trouble put him on the bench early in the second quarter and junior guard Aaron Snider picked up the slack and poue poured in eg eight oof hiss total fourteen points in the dq . second quarter. But Caledonia applied a tough press and Lion errors helped the Scotties make a quick recovery from the early deficit. They pulled to within four points of the Lions 32-28, by the half. Freshman nipped, 5447 The Maple Valley Fresh­ man Basketball team lost an exciting game to Caledonia, 54-47. High scorer for Caledonia was Rob Koehl with 13.

Jeff Beebe, Aaron Snider, Pat Kersjes, Jeff Mead, and Tony Joostberns outscored the Scotties 14-2 in the first three minutes of the second half. The Scotties managed to come within ten points of their hosts until John Kent poured in four points to again widen the margin for the Lions. Kent added ten points in total for Valley. Co-captains Tony Joostberns and Jeff Mead added nine and eight points respectively. Mead also tallied five assists and Pat Kersjes pulled down fifteen rebounds. Brian Hamilton, Terry Pierce, Todd Gearhart, Roger Drake and Glenn Godbey also saw action for the Lions. Following their tough opener on Friday, the var­ sity again proved itself by holding off a determined Charlotte squad on Saturday night. Sophomore Jeff Beebe paced the Lions to a 14-11 point first quarter advantage by scoring eight of those points himself. But fouls plagued the Lions and Charlotte was able to catch their visitors at the freethrow line scoring eight of their sixteen second quarter points at the charity stripe. The Lions trailed 27-23 at the half. But the exciting Lions never relented. They chipped away at the Oriole lead until, with one second remaining in the third quarter, Aaron Snider canned a twenty footer to give Valley a 38-37 lead. Jeff Mead started the final quarter by hitting two freethrows and then added to the scoring drive by driving in for two lay ups, pulling the Lions ahead 52-43 with three minutes to play.

Leading by only one point, 52-51, the Lions needed the extra margin of a one and one. Joostberns connected on both and it proved to be the winning margin. When the Orioles failed to connect on their attempt to score, the Lions grabbed the rebounds and started to use up the clock. The delay worked well until a Valley error gave Charlotte the ball with ten seconds remaining to be played. A tough defense kept the Orioles from getting a good shot up and Pat Kersjes blocked a shot that left the Orioles with time forjust one more attempt. After the final Charlotte bucket, the time had run out and Valley had it’s second victory, 54-53. This was a good win for the Lions and started the season on a confident note. Jeff Beebe led Valley scorers with fourteen points and grabbed eight rebounds. Pat Kersjes added eleven points and ten rebounds. Aaron Snider and Jeff Mead each netted ten points and Tony Joostberns nine. John Kent and Terry Pierce also contributed to the Lions victory.

Two items will confront nearly every American citizen this month. Finances and gifts. “How much can we spend and still keep warm this month?” WI wonder what Jim will get me this year?” Even the kids will try to make their ten dol­ lar bills stretch to all family members, while eagerly anti­ cipating “opening day”! These are also matters of concern to God! We read in God’s Word, “For the WAGES of sin is death, but the GIFT of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ, our Lord.” (Rom. 6:23). To reject God’s gift is to settle for the wages...spiritual bankruptcy. But, to receive the Gift is wealth untold...eternal life! Accept God’s gift TODAY.

Where is this surplus of animals coming from? Unwanted, unneutered, unspayed and neglected pets. What can be done to stop people from being un­ concerned about animals? Problems are not limited to just dogs and cats but with horses, farm animals, and wild life as well. Wild life pests need not be killed. Live traps are available which are designed to capture the animal alive without injury so they may be taken back to their natural habitat and released. The Eaton County Humane Society is working con­ tinually to educate people on how to care for animals and people have extended a helping hand to many animals in need throughout Eaton County during the past year.

A weekly report from— Ernest Nash State Representative NO SUNSET - The House has narrowly approved SB 75, which sets up a legislative oversight committee to review state agencies. However, all-important amendments to include specific “sunset” termination dates for agencies were rejected. The bill is worthless without “sunset”, therefore, I voted against it. NO PRIVACY - The Senate on an initial vote failed to provide the required two-thirds majority for SJR “D”, which would propose to Michigan voters an amendment to the state constitution guaranteeing an individual’s right to privacy. NO GILLS - Under a federal Appeals Court order, the state can now extend a gill-net fishing ban to all Michigan Indians. A prior ruling had said some Indians were exempt under treaties of 1836 and 1855; the state said this would deplete fish stocks. JUVENILE CODE - Now before the full House are HB 4774-78, which together rewrite the state’s juvenile code. Provisions rovsonsncuereucejauseorjuveneoeners; include reduced jail use for juvenile offenders; adult trials for juveniles committing violent crimes; and revised procedures for dealing with runaways and other status offenders. However, there is concern this goes too far with “children’s lib”. IlTjEWll BLUES BILL - The Senate is now considering HB 4555, which would reorganize Blue Cross - Blue Shield of ! Michigan. Proponents say that it is needed to improve the ' composition of the Blues’ Board of Directors and to institute cost-containment programs; opponents argue that it represents an unwarranted government intrusion into the private sector. HEALTH HEARINGS - Public hearings to review the proposed State Health Plan will be held on December 17 at 11 p.m. in the City-County Building in Detroit; December 18,7 jihefof|j| p.m., Holiday Inn of Houghton Lake; December 19, 7 p.m., ?«up WMU Student Center, Kalamazoo; December 20, 6 p.m., , ™ y® NMU Brule Room, Marquette. Written comments may be 'Wfi sent to OHMS, P.O. Box 30026, Lansing, MI 48909. ' ' sIUESM ITEM PRICING - Both houses have now approved SB 377, which would eliminate the January, 1981, termination date y from the state law requiring individual retail item pricing. A 'mO court suit is challenging the process by which this bill was ■'« ore g moved through the Legislature. iirtijfc, SCHOOL SMOKING - Now in the House is SB 388, which would prohibit smoking on school property unless school boards exempt certain areas; presently, smoking is allowed unless posted signs say otherwise. POLLUTION PHONE - The Pollution Emergency Aler­ ting System (PEAS) has a new toll-free telephone number: 800-292-4706. This should be used for prompt reporting of oil spills, illegal toxic chemical waste disposal and other developments which threaten the environment. CASTLETON TAXPAYERS!

It can also be hard on your heart. But what can you do to safeguard yourself from a heart attack while doing outside chores, hunting, skiing and the like? “Unfortunately, it’s not as easy as just dumping in some antifreeze and checking your plugs,” said Dr. Daniel Anbe, F.A.C.C., Henry Ford Hospital cardiologist who is president of the Michigan Heart Association. “But there are some precautions you can take to reduce your risk. “First of all, work up to all cold weather activities gradually, especially if you’re not used to heavy exercise. Tramping fields for hours to stalk deer, cross country skiing, or trying to push a car out of a snowbank can increase the strain on your heart tremendously. “And if you already have a heart problem, DON’T EVEN CONSIDER SHOVELING SNOW UNLESS YOU HAVE YOUR DOCTOR’S SPECIFIC PERMISSION TO DO SO. “You take a person who leads a basically sedentary lifestyle and put him behind Hansel and Gretel comes to Battle Creek sSSc^i A world wide, musical, holiday tradition will be available to area residents on Sunday afternoon, December 16, when the Battle Creek Symphony and Michigan Opera Theatre join forces to perform Engelbert Humperdinck’s fairy-tale, folk opera, Hansel and Gretel at W.

IRS seeks volunteers Detroit, MI - The Internal Revenue Service is looking for community-minded citizens to be trained as volunteer income tax assistors - a program the agency calls VITA. IRS district director, R.L. Plate, said VITA is designed to provide free tax assistance in neighborhood locations to senior citizens, low-income, military, or notj; English speaking individuals who cannot travel to an IRS office, and cannot afford to pay for professional guidance. VITA volunteers do not need special backgrounds in law or accounting. A general educational background is all that’s necessary. The IRS training and materials for VITA are provided free by IRS, Plate said. VITA programs can be sponsored by local civic or fraternal organizations, educational institutions, churches, and social groups. Most VITA volunteers provide assistance in their own neighborhood at schools, churches, and libraries that are con­ veniently located for tax­ payers who cannot travel to an IRS office. If you are interested in volunteering for VITA, or have a group available to sponsor a VITA program in your neighborhood, call you IRS office for details. A tollfree number is listed in your telephone directory. In 1890, Engelbert Hum­ perdinck, was approached by his sister, Adelheid Wette, to compose some folk like melodies for a home theatrical she had written for her children, based on the Grimm fairy tale of Hansel and Gretel. Three years later, when he turned his toughts to com­ posing his first opera, he selected the libretto written by his sister and expanded on his own earlier efforts. Hansel and Gretel has continued “to shed its genial spell on old and young alike.” Since its first per­ formances eighty six years ago, Hansel and Gretel has never been out of the repertoire of European and American opera houses. The music with songs like the children’s prayer, “Now I Lay Me Down to Sleep” and the first act duet “Brother, Come Dance with Me” is filled with “imaginative touches” and should be familiar to most people. A fully staged, professionally produced operatic performance with a full size orchestra in the pit will be a unique experience for Battle Creek. . Tickets are now available at Lil’s Record Shoppe in the Mini Mall and at both Kenneth’s stores in Battle Creek. Free admission for students twelve and under will be restricted to the families of subscribers. All other students, regardless of age will need tickets for the December 16th per­ formance. Subscribers are urged to call the symphony office to reserve passes for their children so that enough seats will be available for what is expected to be a sold out performance.

Wednesday, December 19, 1979 — Page 2 Nashville News A football iteearirig the autographs of Detroit Lions and Miami Dolphin players is now a prized possession of.Max Elliston, 17-year-old son of Mr. and Mrs. Larry Elliston of Nashville. He received the football in a surprise trip to the Pontiac Silverdome where he watched the two teams face each other in December 9th competition. The journey was arranged by classmates of Max, a Battle Creek Central junior and muscular dystrophy patient. The youngsters also arranged for two other wheelchair-bound classmates to attend the game. Max, his parents, and his sister Marcia traveled to Pontiac from Nashville in the family’s van. But their final destination was kept a secret from Max. The Elliston family joined the other two students with their parents at the stadium. The boys were able to meet the* players as they passed from the locker room area to the field: A new football furnished by the class allowed Max to acquire the prized signatures of Detroit Lions Jeff Komlo, Gary Danielson and their coach, Monte Clark; and Miami Dolphins Tim Foley, Larry Csonka, Bob Griese and their Coach, Don Shula. Max also received from the Lions a wall plaque engraved with the club’s helmet insignia. Again this year Nashville churches will combine to present the traditional community-wide Christmas eve service. However, this year the event will be staged a day earlier than usual. The service is set for Sunday evening, December 23rd, at the Nashville Church of the Nazarene. Rev. Robert Taylor of the Assembly of God will deliver the address at the 7 p.m. event. Special music will be provided by a combined presentation of the local churches. ■ While many big city residents grumble about long waits at busy railroad crossings, Nashville folks were pleased as punch to pause for the clanging signal at the tracks on South Main last week Monday afternoon. Passing through was a bright blue engine of the new K-B-E Connecting Railroad, towing behind it no less than thirteen grain cars. A sight to behold in a train-starved town whose very heart was once the railroad! Local motorists were also pleased to note that additional patch was applied to the crossing area by railroad crew working in the village Monday.

If you do not know the Lord Jesus Christ as your saviour, I would invite you to take time to go to one of our local churches, take part in the services, and find Him.

Earl Pennock of Nashville was the first to call our at­ tention to what he believed was an error in the caption of a recent “Memories” photo of Colin T. Munro. We had identified a uniform worn by the longtime Nashville grocer as that of the I.O.O.F. Munro was very active in that order as well as the Masonic Lodge, and achieved elevated positions in both. However, Earl points out the insignia which indicated that the uniform represented Knights Templar of the Masonic Order. A letter received last week from Kenneth A. Meade, a Nashville native now of Franklin, concurred with Earl’s observation. “To me it looks like a Knight’s Templar uniform,” wrote Meade, “as I have one just like it - sword, scabbard and all.” He noted that Munro was an active Mason and was secretary of Nashville Lodge No. 255 F. & A. M. for many years. “He was probably a member of the Hastings Commandery of Knights Templar as were (and are) many Nashville Masons,” concluded Meade. Meade also wrote that he had enjoyed the “Memories” trip down Nashville’s 1927 Main Street, and also another recent story about Cassius L. Glasgow. “Looking at the picture of Glasgow’s hardware store brought back many memories of when I was a little boy and went in there with my Dad,” reminisced Meade. “How much fun it was when he bought some new piece of farm machinery such as a riding plow, a new hay mower, or a side delivery rake.” Meade added that hardware stores, even modern ones, still fascinate him. “I could spend hours in them, looking at tools and all the knickknacks they sell,” he wrote. Wayne Fuller, a Nashville native now of Toledo, also had some thoughts on the same subject. “I wonder if anyone remembers the potbellied stove in Glasgow Hardware with the ring of chairs around it,” Fuller asked in a letter received last week. “There was a sign above the stove about all the people that had sat in the chairs and swapped yarns.” Fuller said the sign had a very clever wording that he wished he could recall. The Maple Valley News. Nashville. Wednesday, December 19, 1979 — Page 3 Fuller also remembers the John F. Purchis barbershop featured in the “Memories” review of Nashville’s 1927 Main Street enterprises. The Purchis barbershop, Fuller recalls, “was a little below ground level, and I got my hair cut there a good many times.” the picture of longtime Nashville druggist Harry Hale and his wife, Florence, also revived fond memories for Fuller. “My mother did housework for them for a while before she married by dad,” he wrote. Later, Hale’s place on Main Street was a favorite gathering spot for the Fuller family on shopping trips to Nashville. “When in town Saturday nights we would always meet at the drug store before going home,” remembered Wayne, whose family lived south of town. “My dad would spend some time with Hime Walrath at the harness shop; he played in the (Walrath) band and knew him very well.” Folks who have long been around Nashville remember that Saturday night was a big event in the village. It was traditionally the time that farm families from the surrounding countryside came into town to shop and visit. Men, women and children all enjoyed the social aspects of the occasion which allowed them to stock the larder and catch up on the latest news at the same time. Stocking the larder for potential snowbound days ahead this winter was a lesson learned by local senior citizens at their Nutrition Site in the Masonic Temple last Wednesday. A representative of the Council on Aging in Battle Creek spoke to the group about a food supply that can be bought and stored for use in case of emergency. The suggested foods provide a nutritionally balanced diet and may be kept on hand for several months. On the list were a can of fruit cocktail, tomato juice or spinach; dried or evaporated milk; a can of soup containing meat chunks; a can of tuna fish; instant or ready-to-eat cereal, such as granola or instant oatmeal; a can of peas, corn or tomatoes, a package of dried fruit, such as prunes or dates; peanut butter; crackers; instant coffee, Cocoa and non-dairy creamer; and a box of raisins. The senior citiznes were each urged to establish a special emergency grocery shelf of such foods, which could sustain them for two or three days confinement.

But. at Nashville High School during the first half of this century, a grown-up version of the game became a local tradition that left many happy memories behind. It was known as the annual Junior-Senior Hunt. “It was looked forward to by every class that passed through Nashville High,” remembers Howard Brumm, a 1925 NHS graduate now living in Florida. “The junior class liked it because it made them feel they had finally arrived in the higher ac­ tivities of the school, and the seniors liked it because they could have a chance to feel superior.” Plans for the annual Junior-Senior Hunt began about a month , after school reopened each fall. The senior class would deliver a formal message to the juniors, challenging them to locate the seniors in a secret hiding place within the village confines on a designated evening. According to the rules of the game, the senior class had an bour to hide enmasse on the allotted evening. Meanwhile, the juniors remained sequestered in the school. “The schoolhouse bell atop the building would ring at the beginning of the hour, to set the seniors off for their hiding place,” explains Brumm. During that time the juniors, confined at school, would divide their class into small units of two or three students and assign each group a different area of town to search. “By the end of the hour, ...

Box 62, Vermontville 49096 the juniors were rarin’ to go,” added Brumm, • “and when the second bell sounded they were off.” By dividing the junior class into small groups the entire village could be covered most thoroughly in the hour assigned for the search, he explained. A third ringing of the school bell signaled the close of the hunt, time for both junior and senior classes to return to the schoolhouse. If the juniors had failed to locate the seniors- hideout, they were obligated to treat the senior class to a banquet at a specified later date. However, if the juniors had found the seniors, the upper • class has to furnish the feast. Brumm, who was in the junior class during the fall of 1923, remembers well the thrill of taking part in the annual Junior-Senior Hunt. He also remembers that, as a junior, his class failed to find the seniors. “They had hidden in the partially constructed bank building on Main Street,” he explained. “I was thankful that I had not been assigned to hunt in that area.” Within a month or so the juniors, with the able assistance of their mothers, provided an appropriate banquet to honor the seniors for successfully eluding the juniors. The following year Brumm again participated in the event - this time as a senior. “Almost as soon as school started that fall, our class had committees to assess possible hiding places,” he recalls. “By the time the hunt arrived, we had decided to hide in the crawl space under the floor of the old apple dryer building.” (The structure, located on Sherman Street near the Cleveland intersection, is the west end of the present-day Skedgell Well Drilling operation and also houses a furniture stripping business. The building is commonly referred to as the old Standard Stamping factory and was once the home of the Farmers’ Cooperative Creamery.) “We crept into a 4-foot space between the floor and By Susan Hinckley Page Juniors in 1916 seem to be contemplating, "Where will those wiley seniors hide this year?". The annual hunt was a Nashville school tradition that lasted until the early 1950's, often spanning two generations of a family.

Soon the second bell sounded warning the seniors that the search was on. “It wasn’t long until we could hear the hunting juniors outside juniors outside the building,” noted Brumm. “We literally froze, not making a sound while we could hear those juniors so near by.” The juniors soon gave up .on the apple dryer and moved on to other areas in search of the seniors. In an hour the seniors heard the third bell. “We happily crawled out of the rather cramped and close quarters,” reminisced Brumm. “Needless to say, we enjoyed the feed that the unsuccessful juniors provided for us a few weeks later. ” Quite often the pattern was a junior class defeat, a senior class victory. But not always. “My class of 1930 was one of the very few that got to eat both years,” remembers Mrs. June Brown Potter of rural Nashville. “As juniors, we found the seniors and the next year we weren’t found.” The annual Junior-Senior Hunt continued until the early 1950’s when it “suc­ cumbed to modern times,” as Howard Brumm puts it. . “As the classes grew larger, it was almost im­ possible to carry on the custom,” noted Mrs. Potter, “so it was discontinued.” However, fond memories of the traditional class rivalry Still linger; and many former local students reminisce happily about the unique contest which became a highlight of each new school year at Nashville High. The bell atop Nashville High School signaled three stages of the annual Junior­ Senior Hunt. While juniors remained sequestered in the school, seniors had an hour to hide enmasse somewhere in the village. Juniors then searched for the group, hoping to winti feast as a reward for discovery. to one and all! From... IRENE’ Beauty Shop iJ) 204 W. Main St., NASHVILLE PH: 852-9107 �The Maple Valley News.

Of­ ficials took the action in an attempt to enhance chances the village would receive approximately $10,000 in approx federall funds for improvements to the library building. The monies would be part of a $405,000 U.S. Housing and Urban Development Bloc Grant allocated for the Nashville area,/including Castleton and Maple Grove townships, during the next two years. “Approaching it from the historical standpoint, they (HUD officials) are a little more open to o rere-doing ong things,” Steven Reid, newlyappointed Bloc Grant ad­ ministrative assistant for Barry County, told Nashville officials Thursday. “In turn, we would like to have the Putnam Public Library board approach the state to have the library designated as a state historical site.” The Putnam home is one of the older structures in Nash­ ville and has served the village as a library for the past 56 years. Proposed improvements to the building would include special protective covering for or severa several rare Belgian egan stained glass windows, other additional storm windows and a barrier-free entrance. In other business, the council agreed to offer for rent a residence recently acquired by the village in a land purchase for Nash­ ville’s proposed new sewer treatment facility on Brumm Road. Construction on the site is nqt expected to begin for 18 months and, at this point, vage pon, village oc officials as are uncertain if the house will be habitable after that time. “We’ve got 18 months that we know the house is habitable,” said trustee Lonny Kienutske, “and I think we should try to get some income out of the property over that period of time.” The council decided that, in exchange for caretaker services at the site, the residence would first be offered for rent to Nashville DPW employee Scott Decker at the rate of $100 per month in the winter (October through roug March) arc an and $75 per month the balance of the year. Rent will not include untilities, the council agreed, and 'if Decker is not in­ terested in the offer, the house will be advertised for lease on the open market at $200 per month, winter; and $175,, summer; wt with a 1-year -year committment and rental deposit required. If Decker should accept the offer but lt later l leave employment lt off the village during his occupancy of the home, the monthly rent would be increased to the higher rate. In other sewer-related business, Oliver Downing was present to question the council’s recent authorization of hourly pay for trustee Lonny Kienutske, Village officials are hoping the Putnam Library in Nashville can be declared a Michigan Historical Site and that some of the monies from the U.S. Housing and Urban Development Block Grant can be used for improvements at the building. One part of the proposed project is to make a barrier free entryway. The design for that plan has not yet been determined as to whether it will be a ramp or lift, but the entry will probably be through the front double doors. village clerk Suzy Corkwell, and village treasurer Lois Elliston for time spent in acquiring construction and right-of-way easements for the proposed $4.8 million project, approved by local voters in September. The three officials have met with involved property owners in two special Saturday sessions at Castleton Township Hall to process required individual easement agreements. Downing objected because he said village officials cannont “hire themselves” for a job, and he thought the task could be accomplished during the clerkjs regular office hours. Trustee Ted Spoelstra said the additional paperwork required for the sewer project could not be handled in a normal 40-hour week, and that overtime pay was not out of line. “This council could have elected instead to spend $2,000 to hire Williams and Works (Engineering Firm) to get those easements,” noted Kienutske, in defense of the council action. He had abstained from the November 8th voting ap­ proving his pay of $10 per hour. Trustee Ray Hinckley supported Kienutske’s stand, saying that during his tenure on the council at the time of Nashville’s 1975 1975 water system improvements he (Hinckley) had volunteered to acquire necessary property easements on behalf of the council. He found the task so great he was finally obliged to take a week’s personal vacation from his employment to complete the job, Hinckley said. He was aided only by a superintendent of public works, he explained, and received no compensation from the village. Because of that experience, Hinckley said Thursday he would not ask any other council member to undertake a similar task without adequate compensation. Nashville trustees currently receive $25 per regular meeting; there is no pay for public hearings, extra meetings or committee work. Downing said he would appeal to the state attorney general for a ruling. Trustee Sandy Kohfeldt encouraged From the grant monies, plans also call for a few of the beautiful Belgian stained glass windows to receive special protective plexiglas storms designed especially to,preserve such windows if HUD agrees on the historical value. There are eight stained glass windows in the library. Plain windows also will receive regular storm windows under the HUD proposal. him to do so. “If we are cruiser from Renner Ford in found wrong, we will reverse Hastings at the cost of $6,687, ourselves,” she added. “But with delivery expected in we feel very comfortable March. with what we did -Approved raising the (authorizing pay); if you are village clerk’s annual salary not comfortable with that, from $8,000 to $9,500 effective then write him.” at the start of the new fiscal In other action Thursday year, April 1st - the first the council: increase for the clerk’s post -Authorized purchase of a in four years. new 1980 Ford LTD police THE VERMONTVILLE TWP.

Displaying some of their own special creations are (from left) Lloyd Cooper,! Scot Lenz, Michelle Cozad, and (seated) Tracy House. Lions dropped twice The 2-win-bubble burst right over the head of the Lions varsity basketball team last week as they lost two important league games in the Maple Valley gym. Vestaburg visited on Tuesday and went home with a 70-57 victory, they won at the free-throw line. The guests made 18 of 27 while their hosts could manage only 5 of 14. The game was tied 6 times in the first half and the lead changed 5 times. But in the second half Valley could manage to get the lead only briefly on a scoring splurge at the beginning of the second half. It didn’t take long for Vestaburg to take advantage of Lion ball handling errors and regained the lead early in the third period. 49 of Vestaburg’s total 70 points came from guard Jack Wood, who scored 24, and 6’7” Harry McCullan, who scored 25. The Lions trailed by as many as 9 points in the third period but pulled to within 3 points, 58-55 with 1:08 to play in the game. Then Vestaburg went to the free-throw line and hit 9 of 14 to give them the final victory. For Valley, Pat Kersjes claimed high point honors with 15 points, Tony Joostberns, added 14 and Aaron Snider 13. Pat Kersjes pulled down 15 rebounds to lead all rebounders. When the Lakeview Wildcats came to the gym they wasted no time getting an advantage. Their 22-10 first quarter margin saved them from eventual defeat. The Wildcat shooting ac­ curacy dazzled the Lion defense and th Home team trailed 39-28 at half-time. The second half was most Valley as the Lions kept pace with their guests. But it remained for the final period to tell the story of the Lion comeback. Hitting 10 of 13 from the free-throw line helped the Lion cause. Sophomore Jeff Beebe also helped with a 3 point play with 6:26 to play bringing the score to 67-61. 5 minute's later junior Aaron Snider calmly hit 4 free-throws in a row to put Valley ahead 74-71 - the first lead in the game. When Valley turned the ball over with 1:24 left to play, Lakeview scored. Hanging on to a slim 1 point lead, Valley again lost possession and Lakeview regained the lead with 1:11. Valley’s final attempt to tie the game came with 8 seconds to play but the ball hit the back of the rim and the buzzer signaled. A Lakeview victory 78-76. ■ The two league losses were a big blow to title hopes. Saranac and Central Mont­ calm remain undefeated in league play. Aaron Snider scored 18 points for the Lions against the Wildcats. Jeff Beebe added 17, Tony Joostberns 14, Pat Kersjes 10, and Jeff Mead 11. Tony Joostberns pulled down 14 rebounds to lead that department. The Lions travel to Montabella Tuesday night for a very tough contest before the Christmas break.

The slate of new officers selected to serve with An­ drus in 1980 is: Ahmo Jor­ dan, vice president; Dave Mace, treasurer, and Terril Thomas, recording and corresponding secretary. Jordan complimented Andrus on the job he had done for the Chamber the past year. “There’s work to be done,” Andrus said of the presidency, “You soon learn to just roll up your shirt sleeves and do it.” During his tenure as Chamber president, Andrus has been active in promoting the new Kent-Barry-Eaton Connecting Railroad, which runs through Nashville on a Grand Rapids to Ver­ montville route. He was recently named to chair a citizens’ advisory committee to act as a liaison between new owners of the K-B-E line and the communities served by the railway. Andrus was also recently appointed to the Board of Directors of the Barry County Economic Development Corp., designed to promote in­ dustrial and business growth in the county. In other business at Wednesday’s meeting, the Chamber discussed the recent Christmas parade and other holiday events sponsored by the organization. The possibilty of tran­ splanting a live pine to Central Park for use as a permanent Christmas tree was considered. A cut tree was donated by Mr. and Mrs. Tim Boucher of Nashville and erected in the park this year. Children of the com­ munity decorated the tree with homemade ornaments, following the Chamber’s December 8th Christmas parade. If a live pine is placed in the park, the Chamber would probably secure additonal lighted decorations for future holiday seasons, Andrus said Wednesday. Year-round storage of Santa’s House was also discussed by the Chamber. The building is currently situated in Central Park, after recent renovation. Paint purchased by the Chamber was applied by Nashville’s DPW crew. Carpeting donated by Johnson’s Furniture was installed in the house by Andrus. The Chamber approved payment Wednesday of $33 for materials used by Maple Valley 7th grade art students in constructing six papiermache cartoon heads for Nashville’s recent Christ­ inas parade. Creative talents of the students drew many compliments Wednesday from Chamber members. The organization will retain the heads for use in future community events. Ways to increase Chamber Commerce membership in 1980 became the final topic of conversation at Wednesday’s meeting. Andrus said he would like to see “paper members” become more active in the organization. Invoices for 1980 dues will soon be sent to Chamber members by newly-elected treasurer Dave Mace. After a brief discussion on the possibility of raising the yearly fee, the organization decided to maintain the current rate of $25 for business and $15 for associate (non-business) memberships. Re-elected Nashville Chamber of Commerce president Charles Andrus, Jr., (standing) reviews plans for the upcoming year with his new slate of 1980 officers, seated left to right: Dave Mace, treasurer; Terril Thomas, recording and corresponding secretary; and Ahmo Jordan, vice president. The four were selected last Wednesday at a dinner meeting of the organization. Cub Scouts build float for parade Cub Scout Pack 3176 participated in Nashville’s Christmas parade December 8 by making their own float which was part of the parade line-up through the village. In last week’s Maple Valley News, the Cub Scouts’ float was identified as a Boy Scout entry. Nashville’s cubs are a growing unit with about 70 boys participating in the local unit.

The Nashville Police Department handled 130 complaints in the two month period of October and November, acting chief Sgt. Gene Koetje reported to the village council last Thursday. Major complaints included 9 malicious destructions of property, 8 bad checks, 9 accidents, 3 family fights, 2 breaking - and - enterings, 4 larcenies and 1 unat­ tended death. Four arrests, all for misdemeanors, were made by the NPD in the twomonth period. The local department also gave 8 assists to the Barry County Sheriff’s Dept, and 5 to Eaton County. Nashville officers issued 13 moving violation and 19 parking tickets during the October through November span and revoked the driving privileges of two school students who exhibited unsafe driving habits. The Nashville police car logged 4,823 miles, using 429 gallons of gas, in the two months covered bySgt. Koetje’s report. Village Hall will be closed all day Christmas Eve and New Year’s Eve, the Nashville council decided Thursday. Past policy has been to grant village employees a day - and - ahalfholiday and village officials felt it was not economically practical to open the hall for Monday morning only. This year only, village employees will receive a two-day holiday for both Christmas and New Year. Village employees will each receive a Christmas bonus of $20 in scrip to be spent in Nashville stores, the council decided Thursday. The scrip bonus has been an annual tradition over the past several years. Gerald Shoup of Nashville was appointed to a seat on the village’s Planning and Zoning Commission by the council last week.

Nash (RDimondale) said today that the passage of legislation legalizing and controlling strikes for municipal and public school employees will “help to fill the public policy vacuum which results from collective bargaining empasse.” Nash said the five-bill package which passed the House Tuesday provides rules to regulate the conduct of strikes for all public employees except policemen, firemen, and civil servants who are not allowed to strike. “I am pleased with the shape in which these bills passed,” Nash said. “It’s been a long, difficult process in coming un with a workable plan for this very serious issue, but I am confident that strikes that do occur in the future will be settled quickly and within the guidelines we have established in this package of bills.” Nash noted that the package includes provisions to: - allow only employers to initiate a request for binding arbitration in the case of a public employees’ strike. - allow binding arbitration only after the issuance of a court injunction which states that the continuation of a strike'poses a threat to the “health and safety of the community.” - require that the set­ tlement reached during binding arbitration not exceed the capacity of the community to pay for the wage and benefit increases. - require that the chief arbitrator in a binding ar; bitration case be a resident of the community involved. - require that settlements Vermontville youth attends livestock show at MSU Eight Eaton County young people exhibited livestock at the 1979 Great Lakes Youth Livestock Expo, held Dec. 6, 7, & 8 at Michigan State University.

Gifts of blood Christmas Eye Every year, 3 counties from the 34 counties belonging to the Regional Blood Center in Lansing, are designated to hold a Bloodmobile on Christmas Eve Day. This year it is Barry County’s turn. It is our responsibility to collect at' least 100 units of blood. We know it is a bad timfe of the year to ask for donors, but blood is needed more at the Holiday Season than any other time of the year. The Barry County Christmas Bloodmobile will be held on December 24th, at the First Methodist Church, 209 West Green Street, Hastings, from 10 a.m. to 4 —p.m. Anyone between the ages of 17 and 65, who is in good health, may donate. All 17 year olds are reminded to bring a written permission slip signed by a parent or guardian. Slips may be obtained at the Red Cross office at 116 East State Street, (above J. C. Pen­ ney’s). Those wishing to donate, may call the Red Cross office 945-3122, between 10 a.m. and 2 p.m., to schedule an ap­ pointment. Although this does not guarantee a waiting period, it does insure a smooth flow of donors, and it will make the wait as short as possible, usually only a few minutes.

The Governor has said he will veto the bill due to that, and I support his position. WATERED WETLANDS - Senate Bill 3, to regulate Michigan’s wetlands, would require wetland ow ners to get a permit before changing them but grants exemptions for farmers; a recent amendment could require state purchase of many wetlands PAY INCREASE? * Although an initial recommendation proposed a 10 percent pay increase for state workers next year, nearly all department heads have urged the Civil Service Commission to hold it to 7 percent due to severe economic conditions. STRIKE PACKAGE - The Senate is now considering several bills which would for the first time allow strikes by public employees including teachers. The main bill is HB 4045 which specifies binding arbitration for disputes; however, it also has a provision prohibiting an arbitrator from making any award that will force a district to increase taxes or lay off workers. NO ADS - The legislature's Joint Committee on Ad­ ministrative Rules has disapproved proposed rules designed to increase competition in beer sales which included per­ mission to advertise prices. These were prompted by the increase in beer prices since our bottle-ban law took effect. The Committee felt the rules would place small retail stores at a disadvantage. STILL, GILLS - A federal court did not ban gill-net fishing by Indians, after all. The U.S. Appeals Court is considering a case involving two Michigan Indian tribes seeking freedom from Michigan fishing controls; another tribe sought and was denied entry into the suit; a court clerk misinterpreted this and announced that the denial was for free-fishing permission. LICENSING REGULATION - The House has approved HB 4114, which recodifies Michigan’s licensing and regulation statutes to improve uniformity in licensing and complaint procedures and to remove impediments to both public policy and access to certain professions. BUDGET BILL * In the final days of session last week, both houses hammered out an agreement on HB 4189, one of the last 1980 budget bills. The major controversy of this “Grants and Transfers" bill was whether or not to keep the Pontiac Stadium subsidy: it was retained. PROSECUTORIAL NO - The Michigan Prosecuting At­ torneys Association has gone on record as opposed to HB 4774, the proposed revision of Michigan’s juvenile code, saying it could result in poorer protection for abused and neglected children and is procedurally unworkable.

About the petitions for positions on our Village Council, there are a few that are still out. Don’t criticize those who are interested enough in the community to try. Anyone who is registered may take out a petition. Lets give some support to our people. Ella Saylor has been ill a few days, is feeling some better at this writing. Anyone who missed ser­ vices at our churches Sunday can feel cheated out of the best of music. Methodist Choir held their Candlelight service in the morning service time. Reports were it was a beautiful and moving program. The Congregational Church’s cantata “Prince of Peace” was given at the evening time. As always the super performance. The Vermontville Bible Church “An Old-Fashioned Christmas” was another wonderful gift from the talented people of their Clements-Cook Mr. and Mrs. Darrell Clements of Guy Road, Nashville, are pleased to announce the engagement of their daughter, Lola June to Dennis Dale Cook, son of Mr. and Mrs. Dale Cook of N. Main, Nashville. Lola is a- student at Maple Valley School and Dennis is a 1979 graduate of Maple Valley and is employed at General Aluminum in Charlotte. A June 1981 wedding is being planned. group. We are so lucky and grateful for the talent that abounds in our community and fills our churches, that we may enjoy their efforts at this Christmas season and throughout the year. Everyone is making that rush and press before Christmas, slow down it will be here soon enough. Good to see that new snow to freshen the mind and the earth. To all our senior citizens, have you picked your phoning partner yet. If you have, would you please call 726-1241, Dora. So we will pass it along to the proper people. To all our pet ow.iers, winter can be a killer, so watch out for your pet. Check the housing, food and water, and leash or chain. More food and water is needed in these witner months. Have you noticed the homes decorated in our town? Lots of thought and planning is showing in the come dusk lighting. I like it. Dora Nisse and Ida Zakshesky were guests of Third District Congressman Howard Wolpe at the home of Paul Keep’s in Kalamazoo last Thursday for a Christmas gathering. Had a good time. Many people from the 3rd District were represented. Most of us have been with Congressman Wolpe since his beginnings in the political picture. Faith in God, our country and each other’will see us through. Lots of parties being planned for the holidays. So do be careful, watch the weather, road conditions and each other, and you’ll enjoy it all a lot more. Thought - At Christmas, we share the good news by the giving of gifts the greatest of which is our­ selves. A Christmas surprise painting by Arnie Daniels, can be seen at the Maple Leaf Inn, for your pleasure. We do have a lot of talent among our people. I do believe that Arnie is blessed with more than his share. Couldn’t happen to a nicer guy. Thank you Arnie. �(HRISTfflAS SPKIAIS VAHDEN BRINK WHOLE SEMI-BONELESS U.S. No.1 IDAHO BAKING FLORIDA ZIPPER SKINNED HAMS 799 TANGERINES SPARTAN GRADE A-ALL SIZES SELF-BASTINS TURKEYS MICHIGAN DELICIOUS APPLES FARMER PEET BONELESS-WHOLE OR HALF BONANZA HAMS LEAN BONELESS BEEF HEINZ KOSHER OR POLISH SIRLOIN TIP ROAST SPEAR PICKLES KENT BULK SMOKED OR CLASSIC WHITE 100 PAPER PLATES POLISH SAUSAGE MENNEN-ASST D.

There, in the midst of the animals, on a bed of straw, in a cold, dark stable the tiny King showed us the meaning of love. Let us not forget that first Christmas night. �The Maple Valley News, Nashville, Monday, Secember 24, 1979—Page 2 Nashville News Church and school programs have consistently played an important role in Nashville’s traditional Christmas ob­ servances, as evidenced by this week’s “Memories of the Past”. Howard E. Brumm, a former local resident currently living in Florida, recently wrote to share his thoughts on the tradition of amusing holiday presentations at Nashville High School during the early to mid-1920’s. The programs always took place just before Christmas vacation, with all four grades participating - each providing a 30-minute con­ tribution. “The entertainment was all homemade,” wrote Brumm, “with what we had then and there.” One year, Brumm recalls, his class staged a skit depicting what they thought went on in a teachers’ meeting. “Our superintendent then was Rex Chapman, a blustery kind of fellow,” reminisced Brumm. “One of his favorite expressions to a careless student was ’Do you have to have a brick house fall on you before you get down to work?’ ” Minie Furniss, a strict disciplinarian of the old school, was kindergarten teacher at that time. “We had a lot of fun selecting members of our class to take the part of various teachers >and our superintendent,” recalls Brumm. “We even had several practice sessions to get all the right expressions down to a fine art.” It was also part of the game to keep secret from the other classes what was planned, so it was with great anticipation that each student watched and listened to presentations by the other three high school grades. “The only one I can remember now is the teachers’ meeting,” noted Brumm, “and that was probably because the class had picked me to portray Superintendent Chapman.” Brumm also recalls that school vacation began immediately after the Christmas show and it was probably a good thing, he believes. “A two-week vacation period time for the teachers to forget what we had said about them,” Brumm concluded. Mrs. Elizabeth Curtis of Nashville entertained several residents of the new Maple Valley Arms at her apartment there last Tuesday afternoon. Honored guests were Alice and Tim Boucher of Nashville, co-owners of the apartment complex. Others in attendance at the gathering were Margaret Wagner, Veta Roberts, Elizabeth Lynch, Edith Jones, Oneta Laurent, Kathy Smeconoki, Mildred McPeck, By Susan Hinckley Melissa Showalter, Veda Guy, and Bertha and Bill Harmon. Cake, ice cream and coffee were served and a pleasant time of visiting enjoyed. Entertaining at a recent “koffee klatch” at her new home on Nashville Highway was Mrs. Bob (Lois) Gardner. Present for a dessert luncheon and Christmas gift exchange were Barbara Gagne of Vermontville, and Margaret Swiger and Gloria Johncock, both of Nashville. All four ladies formerly worked together at the cafeteria in the local school system and later formed a small birthday club. Also a member but not present at the recent gathering was Bar­ bara Mix of rural Nashville. Mrs. William (Virginia) Cox, a former village resident now of Houston, Texas, has been in Nashville visiting friends during a 3-weeks stay in this area. She plans to stay over the holidays and will be joined by her husband. Mrs. Cox has been visiting relatives in the Vermontville area and is staying with her daughter and son-in-law, Cindy and Randy Grant of rural Vermontville. Bus workers at the Nashville Baptist Church will gather for an 8 a.m. Saturday morning breakfast at the church, January 5th. Progress is being made in settling the recently restored rooms on the upper floor of Putnam Public Library. Classic fiction and music books have been placed in the John and Catherine Beedle memorial room and, with new carpeting and shelving, it is virtually completed. The woodwork in the room also was refurbished in the process. Now book shelving must be installed in the recently wallpapered and carpeted Rare Book Room. In addition, the library board is hoping for a donation of shelving or a suitable bookcase for the Meeting Room which now houses a religious book collection and will, hopefully, also hold the library’s art books collection. Anyone who can help along these lines is asked to call Librarian La Duska Sheldon or this reporter. The Meeting Room was restored in the late 1960’s by the local Woman’s Literary Club. The fourth restored room on the second floor is the Local and Michigan History Room, which presently contains adequate built-in shelving. Ruth and Jack Wallace of Guy Road have become local distributors for Hearth Mate stoves made in Old Saybrook, Connecticut. The wood burning units can be installed in existing fireplaces orTised as a free-standing stove. The Wallaces, formerly of Vermontville, this week join the list of Maple Valley News advertisers. They have lived south ofNashville three years. Mrs. Wallace is a substitute teacher at Fuller Street school and Jack is employed by Fisher Body. A “Watch Night” service is planned for New Year’s Eve by the Nashville United Methodist Church. Families of the church will gather at the Community House at 7 p.m., bringing along snacks and games to be enjoyed during the evening. Just before midnight a worship service will begin. Caroling for elderly shut-ins and others in our village brought special joy to last week’s meeting of the Monday Night Special, a local gospel and bluegrass instrumental and vocal group which gathers at the home of Lowell and Joan McMillon every Monday evening. Along with joyous songs -­ baskets of fresh fruit, homemade breads and candies were delivered to several Nashville folks last Monday night. Following the caroling session, members of the group gathered at the McMillon home on Guy Road for a bountiful turkey feast prepared by Joan. Other goodies of all sorts were brought by those attending. Present in addition to the McMillons and their children were Mr. and Mrs. Chuck Reid; Mr. and Mk. Jerry Fager and Tammy; Ann Miles; Sharon Beech; Mr. and Mrs. Larry Corkwell and Becky and Lisa; Gloria Johncock; Carrie Henry; Fred Harkness; Mr. and Mrs. Dennis Morawski; Kyle Christopher; Mr. and Mrs. Rick Vessecchia; Pastor and Mrs. Roger Claypool, and Barbara and “little” Roger; Lureen Thompson; and Clare Wright. In appreciation for the McMillons’ gracious hospitality the year-round, the Monday Night Special group presented them with several lovely gifts at last week’s gathering. After dinner the group enjoyed harmonizing and strumming beautiful holiday music. Congratulations to George H. Cogswell of rural Nashville who will be retiring fromMichigan Bell Telephone, effective February 8, 1980, after more than 32 years service. Cogswell, who is an exchange repair technician, began working for the company in November 1947. His last day on the job will be December 12th but, at George’s request, there will be no special celebration. Slides, trinkets and handicrafts from Brazil fascinated members of the Nashville Baptist Church PFC Missionary group when they met Thursday evening, December 13th, at the church to hear Bea Klingensmith speak. A missionary for 17 years, she is currently on leave from her Brazilian post. Miss Klingensmith delivered a beautiful message to the PFC ladies to contribute to the monthly support of the Brazilian mission. The missionary explained native customs of the country as she narrated the slide program. A dessert luncheon and Christmas ornament exchange followed the 7 p.m. presentation. The Mayo-Evans Birthday Club met for a December 13th Christmas party at the home of Lorene Loomis of Charlotte. Mary Dye of Bellevue assisted the hostess in serving a delicious potluck noon dinner. At a business meeting following the meal, the club members voted to contribute $10 to the Battle Creek Enquirer & News “Remember-A-Vet” fund, and also to purchase a Christmas gift for Lulu Linsley, the organization’s “Shut-in friend” at the Barry County Medical Care Facility. The January meeting of the club will be a potluck dinner at the home of Laura Lee Kelly of Bellevue, with members bringing their own table service and a gift for bingo. Eileen Latimer was a guest at the December meeting and Regina Reynolds of the Mayo neighborhood joined the club. Christmas gifts were exchanged and door prizes went to Loretta Pixley and Joyce Gardner. Laura Lee Kelly drew the flower fund gift. Entertainment was furnished by Pat Burd and a good time was had by all. “The Brothers”, a gospel trio from Canton, Ohio, will perform at 11 a.m. Sunday services at the Nashville Baptist Church, December 30. Mr. and Mrs. Clarence (Margaret) Reid of Nashville were in Charlotte last Tuesday evening to help celebrate the 9th birthday of their granddaughter, Michelle, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Vernon Reid.

The two sisters enjoyed a shopping excursion to Saks Fifth Avenue in Somerset Mall. The Myers drove on to Pontiac to visit his parents, and then bowled in a Sunday tournament at Royal Oak. Returning to Troy they picked up Mrs. Ramsey for the journey home. She remained at the Myers home overnight Sunday before returning to Nashville. Mrs. Ednah McConnell, a former Nashville resident now of Battle Creek, was in the village last week for a 5-day visit with her sister, Mrs. Viola Beystrum. While here she en­ joyed attending the Friday evening Christmas party at the Nashville Senior Citizen’s Nutrition Site. Photos of that party, published in last week’s Maple Valley News, had special significance for Mrs. Edna Gib­ bons of Nashville. The pictures helped her complete a Site scrapbook she has been keeping for the past two years, starting with news coverage of the Nashville Nutrition Site’s 1977 Christmas party. X Christmas vacation for Maple Valley schools started at the close of school Thursday, December 20, and classes will not resume until January 3rd. Local readers will be interested to learn that former Nashville area resident Mrs. Frank (Lola) Reynard, now of Rogers City, celebrated her 90th birthday last Wednesday, December 19. Mrs. Reynard and her late husband lived on a farm southeast of Nashville for over 50 years before moving to Rogers City in 1972 to be near their daughter, Mrs. Melbourne Smith, and family. Frank died there 18 months later but Lola, despite two heart attacks, has recovered and is doing nicely. Nashville folks will recall that Mrs. Reynard was a Sunday School teacher for a class of young children at the former Evangelical Church here. In a letter written last week to-Mrs. Clarence (Bunny) Shaw of Nashville, Mrs. Reynard told of a surprise birthday party staged for her at the Christmas meeting of her church circle on December 12. The hostess baked a cake and put candles on it, and the ladies all sang “Happy Birthday,” Lola wrote. It was a complete surprise taher; she suspected nothing though the girls had all seemed anxious that Lola would be able to at­ tend Jhe meeting. A birthday celebration that would not come as a surprise to Mrs. Reynard was a planned December 19 open house for friends and relatives. Her only wish was that her Nashville area friends could also be present. Perhaps many acquaintances would like to surprise. Lola with a card, we thought, so we are enclosing her ad­ dress in Rogers City: 460 W. Huron Ave., Zip Code 49779. Mr. and Mrs. Vaughn (Mona) Reid and daughter, Jen­ nifer, returned to Nashville last week after a 2-months tour of the western states, including stops in Texas, Arizona and Wyoming. Saturday night dinner guests of Mrs. Verna Frederick of Nashville were Mr. and Mrs. Frank Wolff of Charlotte! The many weeks of rehearsal that went into the produc­ tion of a December 16th “Old Fashioned Christmas” presentation by the Nashville Baptist Church choir was^very much in Evidence when the fabulous musical performance was staged for a sizeable audience at the church Sunday evening. Mrs. Lester DeGroot directed the program, which was a scenario based on a 19th century diary of a teen-age girl, emphasizing the simplicity of Christmas in that era. Lynn De Groot, daughter of Pastor and Mrs. Lester De Groot, gave a very convincing portrayal of the young author, backed by the choir’s many stirring renditions of favorite Christmas carols and anthems. Eleven senior citizens from Nashville joined 130 from Woodland and Lake Odessa last Saturday noon for a dinner hosted at Woodland by the Eagle’s Lodge of that village. After a lovely meal all the guests were presented with individual fruit baskets. Attending from this area were: Mr. and Mrs. Lawrence Friddle, Mr. and Mrs. Joseph Tegel, Mr. and Mrs. Austin Schantz, Clare Wright, Clifford Brooks, Mrs. Gladys Histead, Mrs. Esther Buckley and Mrs. Verna Frederick. Kathleen Brooks, representing the South Central Christmas The stillness of the winter landscape captures the peace and tranquility of this happy season. May you share in all its tender joys. Wheeler Marine M-66 South of Nashville The Maple Valley News, Nashville, Monday, December 24, 1979—Page 3 Michigan Commission On Aging, spoke to local senior citizens at the Nashville Nutrition Site last Wednesday about a fuel assistance program available to senior citizens, to aid them with home heating bills. Mrs. Azor Leedy of Nashville fell outdoors at her home last Tuesday and sustained a broken wrist and hip. She is presently hospitalized at Pennock where she underwent surgery Wednesday for insertion of a pin in her hip. The Nashville ambulance had two almost simultaneous calls last Tuesday afternoon. First they were summoned to the business district on Main Street to pick up a lady who had fallen. While transporting her to Pennock Hospital for treatment, a call was received that an ambulance was urgently, needed in the 800 block of Sherman St. Ass’t. Fire Chief Larry Decker responded to the radio summons and requested assistance from Vermontville’s ambulance, which soon arrived on the scene to transport a lady suffering chest pains to the hospital Nashville will have a village primary election February 18, since two persons filed for the post of village president and four persons filed for the three seats opening on the village council. 'All candidates meeting last Tuesday’s nominating petition deadline were Republicans. The general election for the village is set for March 10. (Complete details appear elsewhere in this issue of the Maple Valley News). Teen-agers of the Nashville Church of the Nazarene presented an inspirational play, “Miracle In Bethlehem,” at special services last Monday evening and again Wednesday at 7 p.m. At this writing the Church of the Nazarene was making arrangements to host the annual community-wide Christmas Eve service, set this year for 7 p.m. Sunday, December 23rd. Rev. Robert Taylor of the Nashville Assembly of God was scheduled to deliver the address and music was to be a combined effort of the local churches. Early deadline this week so news is somewhat short, but we hope~to have lots of holiday news next.week. Looking forward to hearing about your family Christmas gatherings. Please call us so we can share your news with other readers. Meanwhile, have a very happy holiday! Winners claim Chamber’s treasure^ hunt prizes Ladies took all prizes claimed in last week’s Chamber of Commerce sponsored Christmas Treasure Hunt in Nashville. Ten merchants had offered a total of 100 prizes to potential winners. The goods represented hundreds of dollars worth of mer­ chandise. All winners had to do was match a special number printed on their issue of the December 12th Maple Valley News with one of ten different winning numbers posted at each participating store. Mer­ chants all report brisk traffic in their stores as potential winners checked during the Thursday -through Saturday promotion to determine if their number was listed, but only six matches were reported. At Nashville Flowers and Jewelry, Feme Green won a corsage and Fern Hawblitz won a rose bowl. Both were successful in matching the number on their newspaper with one posted in the store. Nashville Flowers and Jewelry was the only merchant reporting dual winners, though ten prizes were offered in each store. Others reporting one winner only were Simon Pharmacy, where a 10-cup Mr. Coffee coffeemaker was awarded to Betty Strodtbeck for a number match; Nash­ ville Hardware where Loretta Hoffman claimed two coffee mugs; Nashville Auto and Farm Supply where Judy Purchis won a drill set; and Carl’s Market, where a bakery pie was awarded to Janet Ward.

December 24. 1979—Page 4 Holiday observances a century ago strikes a resemblance to today— “Snow blankets the ground, and the merry sound of sleighbells tinkles the ear,” observed the Nashville News in early December 1873. Christmas would soon descend on the tiny village, nestled in the valley of the Thornapple like some quaint and picturesque greeting card. “Old Santa Claus, with whiskers more beautiful than ever, is holding out at Cap Boise’s store this week and is proving the best drawing card in town,” carrying an armful of noted the News when Christmas parcels Tuesday Christmas 1874 rolled evening,” informed the around. “Cap reports that News just before the 1880 Yule. “Ifhis loud complaints business is brisk.” Nashville’s holiday ob­ were generally heard, the servance a century ago village will have a lot more bears a striking resem­ new concrete or brick blance • to today - school sidewalks, come spring.” Then, as now, local vacations, church doings, enterprising merchants and merchants advertised their holiday wares via the News. weary shoppers. “Only ten days to “A»loose plank in the sidewalk on Washington was Christmas and I have largely responsible for the sudden replenished my stock of fall of a 200-pound man scissors, razors and Make^brotherly love a year ’round "habit”.

Wolcott announced in December 1877. “A full nickle-plated revolver, sevenshot, for $2.50, and New Year’s coming.” Firearms played an important part in early holiday celebrations, one custom that seems to have been altered by modern times. “A shooting match is planned the day before Christmas at Charley Baker's place north of Assyria,” disclosed the News in 1878. “Charley announces he has a hundred turkeys, plus ducks and geese, so get your guns, boys.” At a shoot at Charles Wilson’s place a week earlier, F. J. Purchis and W.E. Buel, both of Nashville, had together brought away nine turkeys for exactly a dollar’s worth of shooting ted. One apiece, the writer noted. holiday tradition that seems not to have changed over the years is the presentation of various church and com-. mlinity programs throughout the village. “Christmas was a gala occasion in Nashville, recorded the News in 1878. “Christmas Eve there were several hundred people at the Baptist Church, where an estimated 200 presents hung on a huge tree. On the af­ ternoon of Christmas Day a program was given at the Christian Church and many presents distributed. Then, Christmas night, came the • PERSONS INTERESTED IN THE POSITION OF...

After an hour-long program the curtain of the stage was rolled up to display a beautiful Christ­ mas arch loaded with close to 400 gifts, which were removed and distributed by Santa Claus and his assistants, “with great dispatch and orderliness,” according to the News. The 1878 opera house presentation was not without its lighter moments though, thanks to awestruck little ones whose performances were as typical as they are timeless. It had been arranged for a company of little singers, standing on a platform at the side of the stage, to sing an appropriate song as a ship loaded with presents came “sailing”, in. “They commenced all right,” related the News, “but when the curtain went up disclosing the ship sailing upon the scene in all its light and glory, the little singers were struck speechless with delight and despite loud whispers from the directors, seemed to have lost their voices,” Twenty years later, and through the turn of the century and early 1900’s, masquerade balls arranged by Hirman Walrath and his orchestra became standard Christmas Eve fare at the opera house. Prizes, often 15pound turkeys, were awarded the nicest dressed lady and most comically dressed gentleman attending the dance. Traditional holiday programs were still staged at local churches sometimes with a different twist. • “The Evangelical Sunday School this year will depart from the usual custom of having a tree at their Christmas program,” the News advised readers in 1903. “For their Christmas Eve exercises they will have a log cabin, a real building carefully made of logs, and presents will be piled in and around the structure,” Local and surrounding country schools also offered Yuletide presentations while many of the children were enjoying a temporary Continued next page— ...

Turn - of - the - century Christmas shoppers foundplentiful gift suggestions offered by local merchants and listed in a News sum­ mary by publisher Len W. Feighner, to prove that the finest holiday merchandise “can be bought right here in Nashville.” At Ed Liebhauser’s, the drug store that carried the largest stock ofjewelry in this part of the state, beautiful cut glass, hand-painted china, musical instruments, medallions, atomizers, magic lanterns, leather goods and toys were but a few of the wonderful gifts to be found. “Central Drug Store, J. C. Furniss, proprietor, features Chatelaines, ebony toilet sets, souvenir spoons, watch chains and charms, bulk perfumes and hundreds of other lovely gifts for discriminating shoppers,’’ wrote Feighner. Prices in that era were also reasonable. At W. B. Cortright’s, gold cuff links or watch chains were selling for 50 cents; fancy perfume cost 25 cents. Dolls with kid bodies and sleeping eyes in hand-painted china heads were listed at $1.25 each.

Each class competed to see which could bring in the greatest amount of canned goods and other non­ perishable foods to help fill community Christmas baskets for needy families in both Nashville and Ver­ montville. At the end of the school day Thursday it was determined that the seventh grade had won the contest. In the accompanying photo are the four girls who comprised the project committee and are shwon counting, sorting, and packing the canned goods to determine the winner. In Vermontville, the collected goods from the high school, plus other food and gifts (toys from Eaton County Department of Social Services) were to be packed into individual boxes at Johnny’s Market Saturday morning by volunteer workers from throughout the Nashville’s Cub Scouts held their December Pack meeting and Christmas party Monday night at the High School. Lots of parents were present for the celebration.

One ofthe busiest places in Nashville at Christmastime in the early 1900’s was J. C. Hurd’s photographic gallery. “Joe says he still can take pictures and have them finished in time for Christmas gifts,” advised the News, just a week before the 1903 holiday. A quarter-century later, Christmas in Nashville had become a ciyic affair. “Thanks to the efforts of the Woman’s Literary Club, the large evergreen tree in Central Park will be lighted this week with colored lights and other decoration,” the News told readers in mid­ December 1928. “The village council has appropriated $10 toward the light fund and the WLC will stand the ad­ ditional $8 estimated as needed.” The school operetta, “Santa Claus & Co.,” had to be cancelled that year due to a widespread flu outbreak, but Nashville’s newly lighted tree cheered the holiday season. Eleven years later, the village took on an even more festive air. “This year for the first time Nashville has Christmas decorations on Main Street,” boasted the News in 1939. “At the in­ tersection of Maple Street four garlands of evergreen and colored lights stretch to the center of the street, where a lighted cross is suspended.” The village council had approved expenditures for the materials and hoped additional decorations could be purchased each year until “eventually there will be lights enough to decorate the entire length of the business district.” This year', that long­ standing dream came true. Thanks to the local Chamber of Commerce, 40 years after that z first cross was suspended over Main Street, the length of the business district is lighted with lamp post decorations - linking Nashville's Christmases Past with the Present. Alleigence followed by reminders of coming events including the Roller skating party at Thornapple Rink Thursday, Dec. 27, from 2 p.m. till 4 p.m., and the trip to the Owls Hockey Game in Grand Rapids Dec. 30 by 5:30 p.m. to pick up their tickets. Plan on leaving shortly thereafter, as a group for the game. Cubmaster Meade handed out the following badges to the Cubs who had earned them: Wolf badges went to Cody Slocum and William Gatchell; a Bear badge to Scott Reid; Webelos pins to George Steinbrecher, Matt Peake, Kenny Bishop, Pat Hagon, Danny Kellogg, Steve Smith, Tony Wolfe, Any Finkler,. Marty Eye, Jim Bryans, Tim Mulking and Scott Reid; William Gatchell earned two recruiter badges for helping John Vincent and Brad Hoffman find their way into the cubing experience. Stanley King is also a new scout who was welcomed into the Pack. Santa Claus showed up to help present gifts and treats to the children. The jolly old elf talked to the kids, promising them all kinds of goodies for Christmas if they continued to be good! The crowd had a chance to sample a wide assortment of Christmas cookies before leaving. The Cubs each took a genius kit home to make into an original creation and bring back to the January Pack Meeting for judging. Leaders are hoping for some extra special “things” to startoff the 50th anniversary year of Cub Scouting. in Nashville.

The Water system was installed in town in 1947 and it has had a long time to build up in the lines and we thought we were going in the right direction in improving this problem.

Thought - Loving kindness is a daily offering. Decking the doors with Christmas cheer... Classroom door decorating was the subject of a contest, sponsored by the Maple Valley Senior High Student Council. The first hour classes each decorated the door of their classroom using a Christmas card given to them as a pattern. Judging was based on the best replica with consideration for types of materials used, neatness, color theme, etc. Winners were designated in two categories with a first and second place in both junior and senior high. The winners were awarded cakes made by the student council committee. This Christmas tree decor took first place in the Junior High division and was created by seventh graders, under the direction of their math teacher Mike Booher (right). With him are Jerry Kent (from left) and Todd Smith who helped make the door decoration. The door decorating contest is an annual project but this is the first year it has been based on creating replicas of Christmas cards (earlier it was original design). The winning doors were very good replicas of the Christmas cards assigned to class. Classes did have the option of choosing their own card to copy, but all doors had to be patterened after a holiday greeting card.

The other posts are also two year terms. A run-off election is required because two per­ sons filed for the position of village president and four persons are vying for three open trustee seats on the Nashville Village Council. All filed as Republicans. Incumbent Village President Harold Christiansen will seek reelection to his seat opposed by Theodore W. Spoelstra, a present member of the village council whose trustee seat will expire when the president’s post opens April 1st. Four men are seeking the three open trustee seats on the village council. Lonny Kienutske, a present trustee, will seek re-election to the post to which he was ap­ pointed in 1979. Other can­ didates seeking election to the council would be newcomers to the seats. They are Carl L. Tobias, C. John Hughes and Calvin D. Rizor. In addition to Spoelstra’s and Kienutske’s trustee seats, the term of trustee Sandy Kohfelt will expire in the spring. She is not seeking re-election. Unopposed in the February primary will be Village Clerk Susan M. Cork­ well, Village Treasurer Lois J. Elliston and Village Assessor Justin W. Cooley. Each was the'only candidate to meet the December 18 filing deadline for nomination to the post each currently holds. Nashville’s General Village Election is set for March 10.

Check the thermostat in your water heater and set it back to around 140 degrees F. Another possibility is to insulate your water heater. Most of the newer ones are insulated but some people have even wrapped extra insulation around the outside and found that this greatly increases efficiency. Another consideration is the size of the water heater. In the past, when we Americans always felt that bigger was better, most of us bought bigger heaters than we need.

Heating hot water in your home is the second biggest utility expense you have, according to Eaton County Extension Home Economist, Ann Ross. Running the furnace, the heating and cooling system, is first. Providing hot water for the family uses the second greatest amount of energy. So it’s important to cut back on hot water and be con­ servative. There are a number of ways to do that. Most water heaters when purchased are set for 150 degrees F, higher than most families need.

Operating expenses, when not available from oth - means, shall be shared equally by the three municipalities, and a true and accurate account ?of the expenditures shall be kept by the ambulance board and reported to the various municipalities from t time to time, at least annually. The ambulance board shall call upon the various municipalities for this portion of the expense as they shall deem necessary. 3. It is agreed that each township shall appoint two members and the village shall appoint two members from their legislative bodies to act as this ambulance board. Said board shall have general supervision of equipment, finances and policies of the department, and may appoint a chairman, clerk and treasurer from its members to handle administrative details.

The council action followed a December 13th public hearing on the proposed changes. No public input was received at that meeting. ‘‘Your zoning ad­ ministrator said it (changes to the ordinance) would make it so he could enforce it,” Carl Tobias, chairman of Nashville’s Planning and Zoning Commission told the council Thursday. His board, he said, had recommended the amendments to an or­ dinance section which had required all occupied mobile homes to pay a $10 annual permit fee. After Thursday’s action, mobile homes in Nashville’s R-2 (residential) district that are intended for permanent living quarters will be exempted from paying the annual permit fee, while keeping the law in ffect on a 6-months renewal basis for temporary mobile home and special use permits. Tobias explained that mobile homes classed as permanent dwellings are on the local tax rolls and owners should not have to pay the yearly permit fee, which was initiated for those not paying property taxes. The council was in agreement with Tobias, but trustee Lonny Kienutske cast what he termed a “qualified” no vote. “I feel Section 3.07 (of the zoning ordiance) should be reviewed as a whole not par t by part,” added Kienutske. “We need to clarify the whole section to avoid future confusion.” He pointed out other piecemeal changes that have been made to the ordinance. Kientske said he felt a “qualified no vote is the only way a minority opinion can get any attention.” In other action relating to Nashville’s Zoning Ordinance, the council ap­ proved $5 per month payment to each of the seven Nash to help seniors with property tax forms State Respresentative I Hall in Potterville; and 1 MAPLE GROVE TOWNSHIP BOARD. p.m. at the Eaton Rapids Ernie Nash (R-Dimondale) Supervisor THEODORE R.

North Carolina chiropractor and son of Rev. and Mrs. E. F. Rhoades of Dr. Von E. Rhoades of Smithfield, North Carolina, has been assembling intricate classic automobile models for the past 10 years.- His parents,-Rev. and Mrs. E. F. Rhoades of Nashville, furnished this photo of Von with one of his painstakingly constructed replicas, built from kits costing as much as $300. The picture was taken by Pete Hulth, staff writer for The Smithfield Herald, a Johnston County newspaper which recently spotlighted Dr. Rhoades in a special feature story by Hulth. Nashville, was the subject of a recent feature story published in The Smithfield a Her-ald, bi-weekly newspaper serving Johnston County. Dr. Rhoades’ hobby of assembling elaborate models of classic,^ automobiles was the topic of a story written by Herald staff writer, Pete Hulth. In his story, Hulth tells about one of Rhoades’ favorite models - a replica of a 1932 Rolls Royce coupe built from a $300 kit pur­ chased in Italy. According to Hui th’s report, there are 2,139 individual parts in the Rolls model, including 454 pieces of high-impact plastic, 1,059 pieces of brass, 430 pieces of stainless steel, and 256 different types of materials such as copper and rubber. “There’s the wiring under the dash, the small spark­ plugs, the ignition wiring whatever the genuine article has,” wrote Hulth. The article said Dr. Rhoades estimates he spends from 150 to 200 hours to assemble one of his larger models. So far, he has built 34, and most are displayed under glass cases. The models range from 12 to'30 inches long and include, in addition to the Rolls, replicas of Mercedes, Alfo Romeos, and a Fiat. The ’ cars contain func­ tional parts under the hood as well as'such operational features as headlights, windows and luggage rack trunk, Hulth explained. Dr. Rhoades, who has been constructing the models for the past ten years, is a native of Ludington. He has been a practicing chiropractor at Smithfield since 1954.

Nearly 1400 bills were introduced in the House, 900 in the Senate; less than 10 percent of these have become law. The legislature reconvenes January 9, 1980. PARTY PRIMARY Despite requests from Democratic Senators, the Attorney General has said he will not challenge the Democratic Party’s jules bn selection of National Con­ vention delegates, who will be chosen in caucus rather than in an open election. REORGANIZATION WAIT Last-minute un­ certainties caused the delay of SB 652, which provides a mechanism for re­ organization of Wayne County government. The Governor has said such legislation is a pre-requisite for any state aid to Wayne County. WETLANDS BILLS Governor Milliken will soon sign into law SB 3, which defines and regulates the use of Michigan wetlands: generally, wetlands may not be altered without a permit from the DNR. There are many exemptions for far­ mers. Also approved is SB 443. which provides for a complete inventory of land and its use in Michigan, to be made within the next three years. UTILITY RATES - One of the first-bills the House will consider in 1980 is SB 29, which provides for power companies to charge lower rates for basic “lifeline” blocks of electrical usage, with higher rates for more usage. This applies to residential customers and is designed to benefit those who have low consumption, as well as to^ encourage con­ servation. TAX INCREASE - One of the final 1979 bills approved was HB 4730, which in­ creases the “severance” tax on oil and natural gas (at the point it is produced) from 2 percent up to 4 or 6.6 percent and 5 percent, respectively. The more than $25 million thus raised this fiscal year will be used to help pay for the home heating assistance program. TRAVEL AGENTS - Now in the Senate is HB 4523, which would require travel agents to register with the state. If an agent does not register, or collects money for travel which he does not provide and thus loses his license, he could not do business in Michigan. OPEN PARENTS HB 4164-65, approved in mid­ December, allow the release of adoption information with the consent of a child’s biological parents. However, if one parent wants to withhold his or her identity, the identity of both parents will be withheld. DRINK ORDER The Liquor Control Commission has approved a special order to allow licensed bars, restaurants and other on­ premise drinking establish­ ments io serve alcoholic beverages to their patrons until 4 a.m. on January 1, 1980.

Our community seems to have an over dose. There are those who criticize everything the Village Council does, or pick on certain Council persons as ineffective. The persons who might run and are qualified are too busy or the job too time consuming for them to bother, or most have a “let Joe do it” attitude. Many millions of your tax dollars filter thru, the Councils treasurer. The decisions on what and when to spend is the Councils. The doors to the Council Meeting rooms are always open to the public. They do like your orderly input on matters of the welfare, safety, im­ provements, ordinances of our Village. Not only your criticism, but your support. There will be items of importance coming up: Police Protection, Water and Sewer, their maintance and quality, and mains to be repaired and-or replaced. Water Tower and Wells, S.treets and Boundaries, Landfill. A plan for con­ sistency in the implementing of our Ordinances and the ever present problem of Village equipment and its maintence and replacement: Remember all the things you think the Village should be doing (pick the priority) will be paid by you. You can have all you can afford or are willing to pay for. In the matter of Health and Safety our choices are nil The Council will do what must be done for your protection. We would not want it any other way. They are persons like you and I. If they have some special in­ terest they do not belong there. If you play the apathic role, you will end up getting just what you deserve, “A view from the dark side of the moon”. You do have some choices in the next election.

Persons on supplemental security income get fuel bill relief— Approximately 120 thousand Michigan residents who get Federal supplemental security income (SSI) payments will receive an extra $177 in early January to help pay higher oil, gas or electric bills this winter. The extra check is in addition to the regular monthly SSI payment, ac­ cording to Robert Fleminger, social security manager in Grand Rapids. Social Security administers the SSI program. Most SSI recipients who received SSI checks for December are eligible for the special energy check. SSI recipients living in in­ stitutions where Medicaid pays the majority of the cost will not receive a special energy assistance check since it is unlikely they will Extension service offers inflation fighter series Inflation is a lot like the weather: it’s easy to talk about but hard to do anything about. There are some ways to ease inflation’s squeeze on family finances, however. These will be explored in a series • of six monthly newsletters, “Making Ends Meet”, beginning in February. The newsletters, developed by Extension family resource management specialists at Michigan State University, are designed to help families cope with the rising prices and shrinking dollars. The first issue will lay the groundwork for the rest. It will explain how inflation is affecting wages and prices, who is being hit the hardest, and how consumers are responding. Later issues will focus on ways you can cope with the rising costs of goods and services. These include reducing expenditure, raising income, sharing or trading skills and goods with others, increasing home production of goods and services, and sharpening shopping skills. The cost of the whole series, all six issues, is minimal. The deadline for subscribing in January 15th. To get your name on the mailing list, contact Ann Ross, Extension Home Economist, 126 N.

People who received a December SSI check but do not get a special energy assistance check by January 15 should contact social security. This is especially true of SSI recipients who use direct deposit and may not have kept social security informed of their current mailing address. All special energy checks are being mailed to the homes of SSI recipients, including those using direct deposit. Special energy assistance checks are being sent to SSI recipients by the Social Security Administration and to other low income people by the Department of Social Services. Low income residents facing an energy related emergency should contact the County Services Office. The special energy check for each SSI recipient in Michigan will be the same. The amounts vary from State-to-State, however, ranging from $34 in Hawaii to $250 in eleven States. The individual State amounts are determined by a 3-part formula which takes into account local weather conditions, the number of SSI recipients in the State and certain energy con­ sumption statistics for the State.
