Tuesday, January 5, 1982 — Page 2 Nashville Newsf large tree leaning over the river,” continued Howell. “Arden ran out on it and hooked a rope in the antlers and brought the deer in. His bullet had severed the back­ bone above the shoulders and killed the buck instantly. His jumping was just reaction.” Of the list of hunters named in the story as going north from Nash­ ville in 1939, Guy Howell said he knew all ofthem very well except for Ralph Olin’s brother, H. C. Olin of Detroit. On another topic. Guy Howell reminisced about the early street lights noted in the “Memories” piece about the advent of electricity in Nashville. “I am not certain but I think the first lights I remember on Main Street other than the hanging lights were the pancake lights in the center of the intersection,” wrote Howell. “At Halloween time, they were pretty effectively covered with corn shocks.” Condolences are extended to Mrs. Verna Frederick of Nashville on the death of her brother, Pearl Wonser of Charlotte. He passed away Saturday at Hayes-GreenBeach Hospital. Mr. Wonser was a retired farmer and lifelong Eaton County resident. In addition to a wife, two daughters and several grandchildren, he is survived by a brother and three sisters. Services were set for 2 p.m. Monday at Pray Funeral Home, Charlotte.

Classes at Maple Valley schools resumed Monday, January 4th, ending a holiday recess that com­ menced at the close of school on Friday, December 18. Guy Howell, a former local resident now of Tucson, Arizona, wrote recently to comment on several recent “Memories” topics. He was particularly interested in the story on early Nashville deer hunters, and enjoyed the photo ofGail Lykins and sons that accompanied that piece. “I knew them well,” wrote Howell. “Gail made an ejector tor my shotgun one time.” Howell also asked if the Mr. Housler credited in the story with bagging a fine 12-point buck in 1926 was Arden Housler. “He and my brother, Frank, ran around together a lot,” wrote Howell. “I don’t know if the buck that was mentioned was the same one or not, but one year while he was hunting, he (Housler) saw a large buck on a ridge quite a distance from him. He fired and the deer jumped straight into the air and disap­ peared.” Housler in­ vestigated and found that the ridge was a bluff at the river and the deer had landed in the river and was floating downstream. “There was a Often the death of a dear one- is so shocking that the next of kin is stunned and unable to immediately make decisions on burial arrange­ ments. Nevertheless, close relatives or friends should not offer to assume decisions such as the choice of a fun­ eral director and clergyman. To avoid later dismay and resentments, it is imperative that the next of kin make the burial'decisions. V FUNERAL] DIRECTORS 'Voqt' FUNERAL HOME in Nashville Phone 852-0840 PEOPLE'S BIBLE CHURCH E.

We should have an im­ mediate freeze on property values at last years level, plus the addition of any new property. The Legislature can accomplish this, A sizeable number of Legislators are in favor. After such a freeze realistic and practical property tax reform can be worked out. (This needs to be done within the year-without fail) Any such reform must be true to the definition of thaword and not merely a tax shift, The ill conceived proposal A was a shift only. It is. my hope that the Eaton County Board of Commissioners will go on record at the beginning of 1982 as being opposed to any incease in the County equalized valuation due entirely to inflation. A shift of only two votes last April would have supported my motion to deny the equalization report that raised our 1981I taxes so much. I hope that other county Boards of Commissioners willI strongly consider ;such ia stand. Lansing will get the message.

Points are earned by attending meetings, wearing uniform, paying dues, Why 'four' food groups? Why “four” food groups? “In nutrition circles, they’re called the four pillars of truth: Milk, meat, fruits and vegetables and grains,” says Michigan State University Food and Nutrition specialists. But why four? And why these four? There are, after all, many other ways to classify foods. For instance, we could think of foods in terms of two major groups instead: plant and animal foods. Or we could classify foods by color, or by texture, or shape. So why those four? The divisions are far from arbitrary. In fact, they’re based on years of research. Your body requires as many as 50 nutrients for a wide range of purposes. These nutrients fall into six Maple Valley Schools LUNCH MENU Monday, Jan. 11 Macaroni and Cheese, Green Beans, Peaches, Cookie, Peanut Butter Sandwich. Tuesday, Jan 12 Roast Pork Gravy and.

Each of the four food groups is constructed, upon key or “leader” nutrients from several of these classes. For instance, the meat group has as its foundation protein, niacin and thiamin (both vitamins) and iron (a mineral). Combined, the four food groups thus complement each other, providing you with all the leader nutrients you need for good health, as well as the trace nutrients your body requires in minute amounts. Eating well balanced meals from the four food groups also gives you these nutrients in their right proportions. This is something the folks who skip meals in favor of nutrient supplement pills sometimes fail to realize. The pill takers can often shortchange themselves in a particular nutrient and end up malnourished. Or, in some cases, they can overdose-usually on a vitamin or mineral-and can end up extremely ill. earning skill awards, badges and rank advancements. Two certificates were awarded this time because we had not had a Court of Honor for nine months in­ stead of the usual three. Kenny Bishop had top points and Matt Peake had second high points, congradulations Scouts. The patrols received a camping lantern to add to their collection of camping equipment. The Troop Committee wished each boy a Merry Christmas with a Field Book. Don Steiribrecher has shown the Scouts slides for the past several weeks, assisting the Scouts in learning about first aid. The troop thanked him with a gift presented to Mrs. Steinbrecher in Don’s abscence. Scoutmaster Meade turned attention to Mr. Kesler who has devoted much of his time and energies to the Scouts of Troop 177 as Scoutmaster until a change of em­ ployment made him unavailable. Mr. Meade presented Mr. Kesler with an insulated vest and sincere thanks for the help and guidance he has directed toward the boys. Mr. Kesler will remain as Assistant Scoutmaster and participate in the activities his time allows. The Court of Honor was concluded with the Scouters Prayer. Thanks to the mothers who prepared dinner for everyone and Jean Reid, Troop 177 Secretary, who planned and arranged the dinner.

Be a credible source of information to your child. - Become aware of the “do drugs” messages of today’s society. - Be knowledgeable of and alert for signs of drug use. - Take a firm anti-drug stand. Make it clear that you will not allow your child to use drugs. - Back up the “no drug” rule with a clear and con­ sistent set of behavioral rules and be willing to en­ force them. - Take positive steps to^ strengthen family unity and communication. - Improve the quality and the quantity of the time spent with your child. - Establish communication with'other parents, par­ ticularly the parents of your child’s peer group. Work together for a communal set of standards and provide reinforcement and support for one another. ‘ - Work with other parents to delelop meaningful alternatives to drug use. Utilize community and patent resources. - Encourage youngsters to participate in meaningful, thoughtful and unselfish activities and services within the community. - Encourage the commuhity at large to adopt attitudes and policies that discourage the use of drugs among young people. -Work to develop a cooperative, working relationship with the organizations and agencies within the community that have an impact on youth and adolescent drug abuse (civic, school, church, judiciary, mental health, law enforcement, professional, etc.). - Be aware of programs and agencies working with drug abuse, and if it becomes necessary, seek help im­ mediately. - Have confidence in your ability to make a difference.

Vol. 110* No. 32 — Tuesday, January 12, 1982 78 Year Old Nashville legend: Village president to pursue other interests when term ends by Susan Hinckley Harold Christiansen cherishes an Outstanding Citizen award presented to him by the V.F.W., in honor of his many contributions of service to the Nashville community. When Harold Christiansen steps down March 31 as Nashville’s village president, it will close one chapter of his public service career. However, it is just a single section of a long book of community service by the 78-year-old man. Christiansen chose not to run for reelection, saying it would be good for the village to get some “young blood” in office. “If I ran again, the term would take me into my 80s,” he noted. Christiansen has held his current post since 1978. In addition he served as Nash­ ville’s president from 1968­ 70. Raised in the Hastings area, Christiansen moved to Nashville in 1952. Since his arrival in the village, he has made a long list of con­ tributions to the community. Beside his presidential duties, Christiansen has been an active member of the local Chamber of Commerce since 1958 and served as a treasurer of the organization from 1959-64. He has headed Nashville’s Maple Syrup Association since 1967 and this spring will commence his 15th Beautiful.

As if all this - weren’t enough to tire a man half his age, Christianseh also has served as volunteer caretaker of Putnam Park since 1970. It is there that Christiansen has seen one of his pet goals accomplished: the renovation of the 1891 waterworks building into a beautiful community center. The restored structure was dedicated in 1980 and has been in almost constant use since then as a meeting place for social and business gatherings. “I was always interested in preserving .that building,” said Christiansen. “It (the restoration) is the culmination of a dream come true.”' As a surprise honor for Christiansen’s efforts in making the renovation a reality, his likeness appeared in one of the historical murals painted last year on the interior walls of the center by local artist Dale Ann Morawski.

Members were chosen from an extensive list of can­ didates, including current horse show judges, horse show superintendents or their representatives, Cooperative Extension Service staff members, and staje 4-H horse development committee members. “4-H horse shows have long been a valuable training ground for budding young equestrians,” says Nancy Diuble Theldn, Eaton County Extenion 4-H-Youth Agent. “Through this conference, participants will learn how to improve and standardize 4-H horse judging, improve cooperation between county fair managers and horse show judges, and explore ways to make Michigan 4-H horse shows educational as well as competitive,” Thelen explains. The conference is made possible by a grant through the Michigan 4-H Foundation from Knappen Milling Co. of Augusta, the Gerber Baby Foods Fund of Fremont, and other local supporters, in­ cluding Eaton County 4-H Council. For more information about the horse project or other 4-H activities, contact Nancy Diuble Thelen at the Eaton County Cooperative Extension Service office, or call (517) 543-2310. Thirty-seven trees were, set then, and eighty the next year. Then came a Halloween when 50 of the saplings were destroyed by vandals. “The community got up in arms about that,” said Christiansen. After seven years of carrying on the project single-handedly, he began to get other help, Recently, area chapters of the National Campers and‘ Hikers Club have come to Nashville to set new maples in a conservation project. Christiansen is there, len­ ding a hand with the shovel. “Now it’s quite amazing to drive around town and see all the young trees,” noted Christiansen. One of the first he planted is now a hardy maple shooting many feet into the air within view of the kitchen window at Christiansen’s State Street home. Christiansen feels the greatest village ad­ vancement made during his terms as president has been the new municipal sewer system installed this past year.At present, Christiansen is working with U.S. Rep. Howard Wolpe (D-3rd) to entice new industry into town, hopefully to locate in the now-vacant former Standard Stamping plant on Reed Street. Leaving the village presidency will not give Christiansen much more free time, since he plans to remain active in all his other civic work. Christiansen, who retired in 1967 from the In­ ternational Seal and Lock Company (Viking Corp.) as a machine operator for the Hastings firm, now hopes to find time to complete building a new home for himself and his wife, the former . Josephine Rose whom he married in 1972. And he will continue to raise a huge garden on his rural property. “I enjoy gardening,” said" Christiansen. “I was raised on a farm.” A houseful of plants, with particular emphasis on African violets, attests to Christiahsen’s “green thumb”. Christiansen said it gives him great satisfaction to look back at things he has helped accomplish in Nashville. His most cherished honor, he said, came 10 years ago when the local Thornapple Valley V.F.W. post surprised him with a testimonial dinner with 100 persons present. (He thought he had been invited to give a talk on scouting.) Instead, the V.F.W. presented Christiansen with a plaque which he proudly displays on a wall of his home. It names Harold Christiansen as an Outstanding Citizen. NASHVILLE V.F.W. 8260 FISH & CHICKEN FRY FRIDAY, JANUARY 18 Serving 5:30 te 7:30 P.M.

Ionia County Extension director and facilities coordinator, Bill Pryer, indicates that because of the success of last year’s Central Michigan Crops Day, we had to move the event to a larger facility. The 1981 program on dry beans and soybeans attracted over 250 farmers qnd seven mid-Michigan counties. “Their vehicles more than filled the parking lot and lined both sides of M­ 50 as far as you could see.” According to Pryer, by moving to the high school we can accommodate -more people and provide more flexibility in the program. Commercial exhibits, this year, will be located in the hallways so that farmers can feel free to visit with the exhibitors without interfering with the educational sessions. Because we have more exhibitors this year and because the meeting will be held in the high school, we will be able to offer the farmers a full course ham dinner sponsored by the commercial exhibitors. The exhibitors are also donating the door prizes that will be given away at the conclusion of the meeting. Reservations for Central Michigan Corn Day are requested at your county Extension office, Eaton (517) 543-2310; Ionia (616) 527­ 1400; Barry (616) 948-8039. Maple Valley Athletic Boosters BINGO MAPLE VALLEY HIGH SCHOOL CAFETERIA THURSDAYS... 7:00 p.m. Early Birds ... 6:30 p.m. Estate planning class offered by Extension­ By Allen P. Krizek, County Extension Director President Reagan’s Economic Recovery Tax Bill of 1981 includes substantial changes in the federal estate and gift tax law. Because of these changes, every estate and personal financial planning arrangement should be re-evaluated and possibly revised to reflect the changes in the new tax bill. The changes will be especially welcome to the owners of farms and small businesses who have seen their estates increase in size due to inflation. Federal estate and gift tax con­ siderations will be de­ emphasized in estate planning for many farmers, but estate tax planning will remain important for the larger commercial farmers. The changes in the federal estate and gift tax law will put the many phases of financial and estate planning in true perspective. Tax planning will become less important and true planning focused on the needs of in­ dividuals will be em­ phasized. The Young Farmers Group of the Eaton County Farm Bureau and the Cooperative Extensioh Service will sponsor a series of meetings on Estate Planning for the farm family. The series is scheduled for Thursday evenings, January 21, 28 and February 4,1982 from 7:30 to 9:30 p.m. at the new County Courthouse in Charlotte. Reservations are requested at the Cooperative Extension Service, 126 N. Bostwick, Charlotte, M148813-1497. The registration fee is $2.00 per family.

Nashville, Tuesday, January 12,1982 — Page 8 Maple Valley upsets 10th ranked B.C. Lakeview After taking two heart­ breaking lessons in how to lose the lead, the varsity Lions gave a lesson in how to win. Just before Christmas, the Lions dropped a league contest to Carson City after amassing a 12 point lead. The final score was 60-59 in favor of the Eagles. Last Tuesday, 7th ranked Pennfield visited Valley and took home the same type of win with the same 60-59 score. Few completed games consume as much energy as the first quarter of the game did. Paced by senior tri captain, Jeff Beebe, the Lions attacked both of­ fensively and defensively to build a 23-14 first quarter lead. All state Mike Rop of Pennfield and teammate Dave Morgan began chip­ ping away at Valley’s lead by combining for all 19 of Pennfield points in the second quarter. Valley countered with balanced scoring but could only net 15 points to put the Lion advantage to 5,38-33 at the half. Each team scored 10 points in the third quarter to keep the lead in Lion hands. But the Panthers continued to threaten and repeated trips to the free throw line kept them close. Finally, Pennfield took the lead with 1:42 remaining to play. The Lions continued to play hard. Tony Dunkelberger, Jeff Beebe, Tom Brook, and Walt Mauer dominated rebounding but Valley couldn’t connect on a bucket or maintain control of the ball. With 44 seconds remaining, the Lions had regained the lead and possession of the ball. A turnover gave the Panthers their chance but they couldn’t connect and Valley still had the 59-58 edge and only 6 seconds to play. That’s when Mike Rop stole the ball and scored the winning Panther bucket. Consistent, aggressive defence by Randy Joostberns and balanced scoring by guards Eric Wolff and Mickey Mahan kept Valley hopes alive until the final buzzer. The Panthers needed their advantage at the free throw line to overcome their hosts. Pennfield hit 22 of 35 at the charity stripe while Valley made 13 of 22. Jeff Beebe led Lion scorers with 16 points, Eric Wolff added 12; Walt Maurer and Mickey Mahan each netted 10. Maurer also pulled down 12 rebounds. Fridays home contest against 10th ranked Lakeview began the same way as the Carson City and Pennfield games. The Lions dominated Lakeview and gained a 11-5 first quarter lead. Unlike the previous games, the Lions didn’t let Lakeview get close in the second quarter. Two freerthrows by Junior Tony Dunkelberger with 3:13 remaining in the second quarter put Valley ahead 20­ 10 and gave the Lions command of the game. The only real threat posed by Lakeview came with 5:10 left in the game. The Wildcats pulled within 7 points,- 41-34, but were stopped short by Valley defense. REGISTRATION NOTICE ... FOR ...

The Lions connected on 17 field goals. Lakeview hit 4 of 10 from the charity stripe and netted 23 field goals.

Box A, Nashville, Michigan Phone 945-9554 (Hastings) The Maple Valley News, Nashville, Vol. 110 - No. 33— Tuesday, January 19, 1982 Grand Rapids Attorney says Cooley can’t be supervisor and village president at same time bv Susan Hinckley According to the opinion of a Grand Rapids attorney, Castleton Township Supervisor Justin Cooley may not concurrently serve as Nashville Village President, a post he is seeking in a February 15 primary race. The legal opinion Of Richard Wendt of the law firm of Clary, Nantz, Wood, Hoffius, Rankin & Cooper, was read at Thursday’s council meeting by Village Clerk-Susan Corkwell. She said she had requested a legal opinion since several persons had questioned the Vermontville firefighters battle three fires by Susan Hinckley The Vermontville Fire Dept, recently fought three house fires in as many days. The most serious of the blazes was Sunday, January 10, when the Ron Schooler home at 2445 N. Bradley was destroyed in a fire attributed to faulty wiring. Charlotte and Nashville fire departments assisted Vermontville in battling the flames at the Schooler house, located about four miles east of Vermontville. The fire was reported at 4:45 p.m. Vermontville firemen were on the scene until 8:30 p.m. Vermontville Fire Chief James Faust set the estimated structural loss at $79,000 and the contents loss at $20,000. The major damage was to a 2-story upright section; an attached wing and some of its contents were saved. The day before the Schooler fire, Vermontville firemen were called to the David Kreps home at 1708 S. Ionia Road 'to extinguish a blaze that started in the dining room. That fire also was attributed tq faulty wiring, and Faiist has estimated the structural loss at $13,000 and contents, $10,000. Bellevue firefighters assisted Vermontville. Faulty wiring also is blamed for a Monday, January 11 fire at the home of Ray Therrien, Jr., 2719 N. Ionia Road, where tin estimated $500 damage was sustained by the basement area where the fire originated. propriety of Cooley’s can­ didacy after he filed for the presidential post in December. Cooley has been Castleton Township Supervisor since 1972, and is currently serving a four-year term to which he was elected in November 1980. The village of Nashville lies primarily in Castleton Towpship. (A smaller portion of the municipality is in Maple Grove Township.) Wendt’s opinion said, in part, that the office of Castleton Township Supervisor and Nashville Village President “are incohipatible because it is impossible to exercise all of the duties and functions of one office without breaching duties of the other office.” As an example, Wendt said it was quite possible that the village may require the village president to initiate legal proceedings on behalf of the village against the township. “In such a situation,” continued Wendt, “it is possible that as village president and conservator of the peace with all the powers conferred upon sheriffs, Mr. Cooley would be obligated to serve legal process upon himself as the Township Supervisor.” Conversely, said Wendt, operational agreements. Cooley, as township “Mr. Cooley, if he held supervisor, might be both offices,” said Wendt, obligated to initiate a lawsuit “could not represent the against the village and then interests of both the Village as village president be and the Township in such a obligated to recommend dispute.” Wendt concluded certain measures in that while Cooley may not response to the lawsuit hold both offices at the same which would not be in the time because they are inbest interests of the town­ ship. “The inherent conflicts become even more obvious when one looks to specific cases where such litigation may occur,” said Wendt. A traffic accident in Examples of the powers of annexation and con- Montcalm County claimed the life of a Nashville man demnation were cited. Wendt’s opinion added that early Friday evening on M­ 57.

Vermontville receives new ambulance from local anonymous donor— Thanks to the generosity of an anonymous Vermontville donor who has been iden- tified only as a “lifelong local resident”, the com­ munity now has a new ambulance equipped with expanded and updated medical tools. Vermontville's Fire Dept, acquired a new ambulance and life-saving equipment last week, thanks to the generosity of an anonymous donor. The unit replaces a 1970 ambulance which has handled an average of 100 calls per year. Admiring the new vehicle are, from left, James Faust, fire chief; Michael Prescott, chairman of the ambulance committee; Joe Ann Nehmer, assistant chairman; and firemen Dennis Dies and James Samann. Vermontville's 30-member volunteer force is comprised of both men and women, and includes eight Emergency Medical Tech­ nicians. The 1981 McCoy-Miller 350 Econoline van was delivered Tuesday. It replaces a 1970 ambulance which now is being offered for sale. The gift of approximately $30,000 paid for the new vehicle and allowed for acquisition of about $2,300worth of life-saving equip­ ment to improve capabilities. “The donor allowed us to update any equipment. for which we could justify the cost to benefit the com­ munity,” said Michael Prescott, head of the am­ bulance committee of the Vermontville Fire Dept. Included in the newlypurchased equipment is a folding stairway cot to facilitate transporting patients up and down steps; all new oxygen tanks, regulators and demand valves; a new cot mattress; a suction unit; an extrication device; updated fire ex­ tinguishers and miscellaneous supplies. A portable radio unit also is to be added as part of the gift equipment. • The Vermontville am­ bulance service, which is part of the fire department operated jointly the village and township of Ver­ montville, handled 62 runs in 1981. That was down from the average number of 100 ambulance calls per year. The new vehicle is roomy enough to allow tran­ sportation of three patients at a time; the old unit could carry only two. The new ambulance also is equipped with a much-improved emergency overhead light and flasher system. Vermontville’s fire department, now headed by Chief James Faust, is comprised of a 30-member volunteer crew that includes both men and women. On the staff are eight licensed Emergency Medical Technicians who have un­ dergone special statemandated training and testing programs. The entire force is excited about the new ambulance. “The department would like to extend thanks to Village Clerk Natalie Gaedert for her assistance in arranging purchase of the new unit,” noted Prescott. He explained that Mrs. Gaedert had spent as least two days making phone calls to secure the new vehicle and equipment “We’d like to thank the Vermontville Township board for their fast action in approving the purchase,” added Prescott. Another upcoming im- provement to the depart­ ment, unrelated to the recent monetary gift, is the pending change-over of the dispat­ ching system for Ver­ montville’s fire and am­ bulance calls. Presently, all calls are channeled through several “fire phones” in the village. By spring, according to current plans, the calls will be handled by a central dispatch located in the Eaton County Sheriff’s Dept, in Charlotte. The Vermontville fire and ambulance per­ sonnel will each carry a small monitor-beeper to alert them to emergency calls. The tiny radio can be worn on a belt and will ad­ vise the crew members of the nature and location of the calls. The entire monitoring system is expected to cost approximately $9,700. Part of this will be covered by the savings of the amount now paid for the phone system, estimated at $2,000 annually. Other monies will come from the fire equipment fund. But a major portion of the cost will be borne by the volun­ teers themselves. All of Vermontville’s fire and ambulance personnel have agreed to relinquish their yearly departmental pay to help finance the new monitoring system. �The Maple Valley News, Nashville, Tuesday, January 19, 1982 — Page 2 Nashville News Dollar Day sales will be conducted Tuesday through Saturday this week by several Nashville mer­ chants.

Maternal grandparents are Mr. and Mrs. Roger Hosey of rural Vermontville. In addition, the baby has nine great grandparents: Mr. and Mrs. Verlin Murphy of Alpine, Texas; Mrs. Elizabeth Irwin of Beverly Shores, Indiana; Mr. and Mrs. Heber Foster of Donna, Texas; and Mrs. Lenna Miller of Phoenix, Arizona, all on the paternal side; plus Mrs. Mary Hosey ofVermontville, and Mr. and Mrs. Charles Bollard of Bellevue, on the fti^emal side. The Nashville Police Dept, handled 62 complaints during the month of December, according to an activity report presented to the village council Thursday by Sgt. Eugene Koetje, acting chief. Included in that number were 5 malicious destruction of property complaints; 7 larcenies; 3 suspicious persons or vehicles; 1 assault; 2 open doors; and 5 disorderly persons. The Nashville of­ ficers issued 15 parking tickets during the month, and four moving violation citations. Two arrests were made and nine assists were given to the Barry County Sheriff’s Dept. The Nashville, police cruiser was driven a total of 2,015 miles in December and used 201 gallons of gasoline. Mrs. Zoe Gillett, a former local resident now of Hastings, recently returned home after a holiday visit with her daughter and family, the'' Henry Kleverings of Muskegon. Mrs. Gillett had been with them since before Christ­ mas. Motorists on Nashville’s South Main Street may have done a double-take recently if they spotted a large red chicken which took up temporary residence near the apartment building just south of Eaton Federal Savings & Loan. The Rhode Island hqn was first noticed by Peg Mater, a resident of the apartment building. The visitor seemed to establish headquarters near the auto of Pearl Staup, another tenant, and it roosted un­ derneath the vehicle at night. No one in the area had any idea from whence the bird came, but provisions were made to keep it hale and hearty. Nyla Stanton heard of the situation and brought in corn from the farm for the stray fowl. Peg fed the chicken daily and it seemed quite friendly. In Sunday’s bitter cold, the bird became even braver, aprently seeking warmer quarters. It offered no resistance when apartment owner Dan Watson picked it up, placed it in a cat-carrier and took it home. At last report, the hen is still alive and well in the Watson family’s basement. The Nashville Senior Citizen Nutrition Site was closed two days last week: Monday, due to inclement weather, and Friday in observance of Martin Luther King’s birthday, which is a holiday for the COA agency which governs the nutrition site operation. Mrs. Clara Pennock of Nashville was in Battle Creek Friday to visit her daughter, Mrs. Leigh Haroff and sons Adam and Aaron. Mrs. Haroff soon will join her husband, Woody, at his military station at Ft. Sill, Oklahoma. Also at the Haroff home for lunch Friday was the Pennock’s daughter, Mrs. Lois Lane of Battle Creek. Condolences are extended to the family of George Schafer, who died Saturday at Barry County Medical Care Facility following a lengthy illness. George had resided in Nashville most of his adult life and worked By Susan Hinckley many years at the former Burdick Tavern on Main Street. About 15 years ago, he retired as a truck driver for Archway Home Style Cookies of Battle Creek. Despite his failing health, George was kind enough to help us last fall with a Memories story on Nash­ ville’s 1939 independent baseball team, of which he was a member. He furnished an excellent group photo of the team to accompany the article and provided iden­ tification and other data on the players. George is survived by his wife, Velma; three stepchildren; several stepgrandchildren; and a sister, Mrs. Warren Burdick of Nashville. Mrs. Edna Edwardk and Forrest Babcock of Nash­ ville returned home last week after a 5-week stay at Lake Charles, Louisiana, where they were houseguests of Mr. and Mrs. Bill Babcock. They enjoyed beautiful weather in the 70 to 80 degree temperature range until last week when the ice storms arrived. Leaving from Grand Rapids Dec. 5, they flew into Houston’s Hobby Airport and visited friends at Houston before being picked up by the Bill Babcocks for the trip to Lake Charles, via Galveston, Texas. A great deal of sightseeing was enjoyed during their visit. Over the holidays, the Nashville visitors were guests at a large Christmas party hosted by Mrs. Bill Bab­ cock’s sister and brother-in­ law, Marie and Luke Mon­ dello of Lake Charles.

Great grandparents are Mr. and Mrs. Ard Decker of Nashville; Mrs. Inez Silva of Lake Odessa; and Mr. and Mrs. Manuel Luna of Uvalde, Texas. For the second consecutive weekend, the Maple Valley community was hit with a bone-chilling Arctic blast. The storm commenced late Friday evening and grew into a white fury by early Saturday when 40 m.p.h. wind gusts and sub-zero temperatures dipped the chill index reading close to minus 50 degrees. Some north-south secondary roads in the west Michigan area were closed by drifts when ground snow was whipped by strong westerly winds. Very little new snowfall was ac­ cumulated locally. Frigid temperatures of the past weekend were somewhat more severe than those registered in the previous blast. Although the weather was not fit for man or beast, a day-brightener Sunday morning was a “sun dog” spotted in the southern skies by several Nashville residents. Kedric Piper, 30, of 8998 Gregg Crossing Road, Nash­ ville, was killed Friday evening when his westbound pickup truck collided headon with a semi-trailer right on M-57 in Montcalm County. With Piper were his sons, Glenn, 10, and Kendrick, 8, who were listed in stable condition Saturday night at Pennock Hospital, Hastings. They were transferred there after treatment at Carson City Hospital. Piper was pronounced dead at the scene of the accident, about nine miles west of Carson City.

We hope those who may have missed that first account will enjoy this timely “rerun” along with our regular readers.) The mild weather of December 1979 would have been viewed with great apprehension by Nashville’s early ice harvesters. In their day, Christmastime nearly always brought sufficiently cold temperatures to produce fine quality ice for the first cutting of the season. Before the days of manufactured ice or electric refrigerators, only winter’s yield of natural ice from lakes and ponds could guarantee safe storage of fresh meat, milk and other perishables during the summer’s scorching heat. By late December, ice saws were in readiness along Nashville’s Thornapple River millpond. “The ice on the pond is about six inches thick, and the boys are testing their skates, while the ice har­ vesters are beginning to get their tools in shape,” observed the Nashville News a few days before Christmas 1901. Two days after the holiday, the harvest was well underway. “Appelman Bros, have commenced filling their mammoth ice house on the south bank of the river,” noted the News. “Ice is about eight or nine inches thick.” Appelmans’ could be expected to stock well over a thousand tons of ice in one season, layering it in mounds of sawdust to save it from summer’s sweltering sun. Properly packed, little ice was lost through metling — despite a year in storage. The winter of 1906 brought a bumper crop: “The ice harvest this year is ex­ tensive, with ice nearly two feet thick and very clear,” reported the News in mid­ January. “Wenger Bros. "John Miller has his ice house at Downs Lake crammed full of ice., of unusually fine quality, mostly 14 inches thick and very clean"... said a 1929 News report. In this about 1915 photo. Miller and crew begin another annual harvest to provide ice for summer months ahead. Before the days of manufactured ice and electric refrigeration, the millpond and nearby lakes offered Nashville a winter bounty to preserve perishables year-round. Miller harvested and delivered ice locally for over 30 years. • 2% INTEREST BONUS This bonus is yours for one year when you open a new IRA this month! • INTEREST GROWS TAX FREE • TAX DEDUCTIBLE DEPOSITS • MONEY MARKET RATES Smart Money IRA is yours at SNB.

Standing nearby are unidentified barefoot boys, like those who tagged along behind Miller's ice delivery wagon to catch cooling slivers of refreshment. (Photo loaned, courtesy Peg Mater) have put up 80 tons; William Woodard, nearly a thousand tons; and several private concerns; as much or more. Grocery stores such as Appehnan’s, meat markets such as Wenger’s, drug stores and hotels were among Nashville’s early commercial enterprises that took advantage of the river’s annual winter yield. Most business places filled their own specially constructed ice houses, built to store ice for their own use. Local farmers often did the same, cutting icq from nearby ponds or lakes and stashing it in private storage houses. While industrious Nash­ ville folks were busy stock­ piling January’s ice harvest, railroad employees were busy on a similar project west of the village. “Michigan Central Railroad Company is cutting and shipping ice from Thornapple Lake in vast quantities,” advised the News in late January 1879. “A chute carries the cut block of ice to a loading platform on the siding and more than 200 carloads of ice already have been shipped from the lake to various stations on the line.” Apparently demand ex­ ceeded supply that year, as the News report added: “The boss of the operation announces they need 75 to 100 more carloads.” Many years later, old pilings from the railroad ice harvesting operation still could be seen in the lake. Synonymous with ice harvesting in Nashville is the name of the late John Miller, who died in February 1950 at age 74. John first started peddling ice in Nashville in 1912. His horse-drawn wagon was a familiar sight on Nashville streets during the summer months, as he made his way from home to home, delivering the essential ingredient for chilling residential ice boxes. Equally familiar was the sight of an entourage of barefoot youngsters trailing behind Miller’s wagon — all hoping to capture a stray sliver of ice to quench an August-parched thirst. In 1912, Miller’s first year in business, he bought ice for delivery. But the next winter and every winter thereafter, he put up ice on Downs Lake (often called Miller Lake), on his property northeast of town. “John Miller has his ice house at Down’s Lake crammed full of ice for the coming year,” noted the News in late January 1929. “He reports it is of unusually fine quality, mostly 14 inches thick, and very clean.” Miller continued to peddle ice in Nashville until the summer of 1943. In a post­ retirement item on Miller the News pointed out an interesting fact: “John says that in all his years of har­ vesting ice, he fell in only once.” Quite a remarkable record, since the procedure for harvesting ice required that a “cutter” position himself close to a section of ice as he carved it out with a one-handled crosscut saw. Ice blocks were cut in sizes that could be easily handled — perhaps two feet square. Therefore, a carefully executed pattern and strict attention to business at hand were required by the cutter to prevent the unhappy fate of setting himself afloat. One local turn - of - the century lad learned that sad lesson well, according to a News account of early February 1900: “Billy Smith, while cutting ice one day last week, made the mistake of standing on the strip of ice he was sawing out. He emerged from the icy water both wiser and wetter.” Local family has 5 generations Five generations gathered recently for this photo. They are great-great-grandmother Mrs. Della Ackley of Assuria; Great-grandmother Mrs. Bertha Harmon of Nashville; Grandmother-Mrs. Donna Wyskowski of Vermontville; Mother Mrs. Wendy Wright of Vermontville; and Justin Lee Wright of Vermontville.

If your clergyman was not in attendance at death, courtesy dictates that he also be notified during the day, not that he first read of the death of a church member in the obituary column.

(into open water).” Press reporter Tom Rademacher said, “Tears welled up briefly in McDonald’s eyes as he described the helplessness he and his friend Roger Kropf felt as the vehicles dropped from sight.” In McDonald’s words, “The frustration of having to sit there and just watch - it was terrible. After we saw those taillights disappear into the water, there was just a dead silence. It probably only took three seconds for everything to happen, but it seemed like a whole lifetime.” Helplessness...frustration...and silence. Words that have so much to do with our life experience in 1982. Unnecessarily, many men, women, boys and girls who know Jesus Christ as Savior and Lord, find themselves feeling helpless and frustrated as friends, relatives, and neighbors slip into eternity one by one by one, unprepared to face the God who made them. Christian friend, we have a LIVING MESSAGE of a LIVING LORD to share with a DYING WORLD, and we dare not stand idly by ... it’s NOT hopeless! Deputies were told that one unidentified person may have unwittingly assured the snowmobilers that the lake was completely frozen over! Oh how care­ ful we must be to know and tell the truth! Jesus Christ said, “I am the WAY, the TRUTH, and the LIFE; NO MAN comes to the Father BUT BY ME.” C?Jweel Silence? Yes,J that’s coining too. Revelation 8:1 says, “And when He had opened the seventh seal, there was silence in heaven about the space of half an hour.” The judgment of God on those who reject Him, is an unpopular subject in 1982, as it has always been. But the Bible says that one day, all heaven will stand absolutely mute with awe, as the terrible outpouring of God’s wrath on a Christrejecting world commences. Jesus Christ has ALREADY endured that wrath FOR YOU. “For Christ also hath once suffered for sins, THE JUST FOR THE UNJUST, that he might bring us to God...”. (I Peter 3:18) Trust Christ today!

Board members approved a policy related to the procedural desciplinary action which may be taken by the transportation supervisor as related to the general performance and-or operation of any bus driver. A report was made by the transportation committee regarding a meeting held January 6 with bus garage personnel. At this time consideration is being given for refurbishing some busses, with a more detailed report related to costs in­ volved to be presented at the February board meeting. Also, at the February board meeting, bids will be accepted on two new school busses. No new school busses were ordered last year and in past years the school district purchased three busses per year. Approval was given the purchase of ten radial tires for busses at an approximate cost of $165 each.

Board members approved holding the regular April board meeting on Monday, April 19,1982 instead of April 12. School personnel will not be working the week of April 5 during spring break making it difficult to com­ plete the board agenda in­ cluding general fund checks. Approval was given for an indefinite suspension for a student enrolled at the Jr-Sr. High School pending the student attending a drug abuse center or some form of therapy during this time plus continuation of attendance at these sessions. A discussion was held regarding purchasing replacement heating units at the bus garage. Considering that only one bid was received, it was the consesus of the board members that another bid should be ob­ tained before making a decision. An executive session was held to discuss the present contract and proposals for the up coming negotiations with the teacher association.

Parents, peers and pot (Editor’s Noto: Ulis is the last article of a series fur­ nished by the school.) The following guidlines are taken from materials which were developed by a group of concerned parents in Atlant?, Georgia. These guidelines concern the shared responsibilities of parents, high - school 1.) School teenagers and teachers to each other and to the community. It is understandable that in some families the guidelines will be too restrictive; in others, too permissive. Nevertheless, they suggest fair and reasonable standards which, it is hoped, will be adopted by concerned parents. Everyone needs to be aware of, cooperate with, and support school regulations and rules, even if they cause some personal inconvience. Parents and students should pay par­ ticular attention to policies concerning absences, tar­ diness, detention and general student behaviorial guidelines. 2.) Social Life Outside of School A. Curfews are necessary for safety and cooperation within each family and among families. The following are suggested: School Week home after supper, except for specific event approved by parent; Weekends - 9th grade 10-11 p.m., 10th grade 11:30 p.m., 11th grade 12 midnight, 12th grade 12:30. Holidays and vacations - 10:30 p.m., ex­ cept on weekends as stated previously, with reasonable exceptions. B. Parties should be chaperoned by adults who are occasionally visible, and alcohol and drugs should not be available or served. In addition: small parties should be encouraged, anyone with alcohol or drugs should be told to leave, parents should feel free to contact host parents and STARTING FLUID Just great for those cold morning starts ... $100 ICE SCRAPERS Your Choice..

C. Parent-Teen Cooperation is vital, keeping in mind that parents can be held liable to civil and criminal charges if injury to a minor results from un­ derage alcohol consumption or illegal drug use on their premises. Parents and teens should know where to reach each other by phone. Parents should be awake, or expect tp be awakened, when a teenager comes in at nightthis time is an opportunity for open communication. Parents should get to know the parents of their teen’s friends. Eight graders lead monthly attendance report— The class of 1986 led Maple Valley’s daily attendance records for the month of December. They had 95.5 percent of their entire class in school everyday. They barely edged the senior class who had a percentage of 95.2. The percentage for the other classes were: Seventh grade - 94.7, Freshmen - 92.7, Sophomore -94.3 and Juniors - 91.3. During the month of December there was an average of 93.7 of all Maple Valley students in school everyday. School semester ends— The Maple Valley Schools will end first semester on Friday, January 22; and school will not be in session. Teachers will be completing records in the morning with in-service meetings scheduled for the afternoon. 3.) Discipline m WEEK LONG Parents are urged not to treat lightly the use of marijuana or any otherillegal drug by their teenagers, and to learn drug­ use symptoms. Parents should support school disciplines and contact the administration if they have any questions. Appropriate, ^consistent discipline in­ dicates concern for and love of teenagers. Grounding and-or removal of car privileges are effective disciplinary means during the high school years. If behavior problems continue (drug use, cutting classes, etc.) parents should, without hesitation, consult the Principal; if necessary, he can give .recommendations for professional assistance. ’5"" OFF PERM Cail for your appointment nowl OPEN 9:00 A.M.

Main, Nashville Financial aids specialist to meet at Maple Valley Ward Rooks, Maple Valley counselor, announces a financial aids session to be held this Thursday evening at 7:30 in the high school library. There are a variety of aid sources, urces available to college collee bound students. Included, are grants, which do not have to be- repaid, loans; which must be repaid after graduation, and work-study, which provides students with 10-15 hours ofwork per week. These sources are based on the family’s financial situation. Scholarships based on high grades and test scores are also available. ava However, contrary to popular beliefs they make up a very small percentage of aid, rarely amounting to more than $200 per year. The form used to apply for most aid is comparable to doing your income tax and about as enjoyable. The Thursday meeting is an attempt to help parents with these forms and to answer any questions. Fred Barton, a financial aids specialist will be on hand to help with difficult situations While primarily aimed at senior parents, Mr. Rooks indicated any in­ terested student or parent may attend.

Tuesday, January 19, 1982 — Page 9 Maple Valley Lions take two The varsity Lions upped their season record to 6-3 last week by defeating two league opponents. Their victories enabled them to move into a 3-way tie for first place in the Tri-Central League with Carson City and Lakeview. Tuesday’s game at Por­ tland was a fight to the finish as a fired-up Raider team kept the Lions off balance all night. Each team held the lead for a while in the first quarter until Valley took command 14-13 at the end of the period. Both teams struggled for the lead in the second quarter but a 6 of 7 per­ formance at the free-throw line gave the host Raiders a 17 points tally for the quarter and 20-27 half-time advantage. Both teams netted 12 points in the third period with Lion Mickey Mahon scoring 6 of his game total 13 points in that quarter to help Valley keep paca Valley maintained their poise in the final quarter and played great defense to finally seal the victory. Jeff Beebe stole the ball and passed to Walt Maurer for the field goal that put Valley ahead for good with 5:04 remaining. The steal was just one of7 Beebe made that night. Portland continued to threaten despite a 5246 Valley lead with 1:30 to play. The Raiders took advantage of a couple key turnovers by Valley to cut that lead to 54­ 52 with 17 seconds to play. The Raider attempt to tie the game fell short at the buzzer, however, and the Lions held on to their 54-52 victory. Scoring for Valley were Jeff Beebe and Mickey Mahdn with 13 each- Tony Dunkelberger 8 and Walt Maurer 6. The Lions hosted Central Montcalm on Friday sending their guests home a 5841 loser. First half play was sluggish with the Hornets grabbing the lead at the end of first quarter action 12-11. Lion defense held their foe to 5 points in the second quarter while scoring 9 themselves to take a 20-17 advantage at the half. Maple Valley really started to roll in the third quarter as they hit 6 field goals and were 7-10 at the free-throw line. A Randy Joostbems bucket in the Sports early part of the fourth quarter gave the Lions a commanding 43-31 lead and the Hornets never came close after that. Eric Wolff continued his outstanding 3 game freethrow shooting. Wolff was 8 of 8 at the charity stripe in the Lakeview game and 6 of 6 against Central on Friday. His three game total is 15 of 17. Jeff Beebe scored 12 points and pulled down 11 rebounds^ Mickey Mahon added 10 points; Eric Wolff, Walt Maurer and Randy Joostberns each added 8; Tim'Tobias 7.

Pennfield’s record of 4-0 and Maple Valley’s 3-0 matched two good teams. Maple Valley determined to keep their undefeated record and won by a score of 69-45. Gary Reid was high scorer with 14. The Maple Valley Fresh­ man team took the road January 7 traveling to Olivet for a rematch. Facing an improved Olivet team on their home floor and with two Maple Valley players moved to the jv team, Olivet proved to be a challenge. After a slow start, Maple Valley won 45-34. Jim Colby was high scorer with 9. The team would like to congratulate Jeff Hamilton and Gary Reid on their promotion to the jv team and wish them the best of luck. January 13, Maple Valley met Saranac and won easily 82-27. Ryan Trowbridge and Shan Terrier had 14, Jim Colby and Terry Hull 12; Kurt Hartenburg 10. Everyone on the team scored. 0 I It was a tough week for the jv’s losing two games. On Tuesday, they played Pennfield which featured two fast breaking teams. Pennfield’s speed and Maple Valleys weak defense led to a Maple Valley defeat. All fourteen jv members par­ ticipated in the contest and twelve of the team members scored. Scoring in double figures were Jeff Starring 21 points, Scott Everett 14 points, and Chris Barton 10 points. Adding 4 points each were Marty Martin and Ray Yarger. Adding two points each were Ron Huss, Luke Potter, Eric Brown, Tom DeGroot, Ted Hall, and Scott Whitmore. On Friday vs. Lakeview the jv’s got off to a slow start and trailed LakeView 42-20. Maple Valley was able to close the gap to a 42 to 34 halftime deficit. In the second half Maple Valleys press really worked and they led briefly late in the game. The lead changed hands the last few minutes but Lakeview won the game at the free throw line. They made 11 of 14 attempts in the fourth quarter alone. Maple Valley worked hard but couldn’t defeat the taller Lakeview team. Jeff Starring ledjthe Lions with 12 rebounds, Chris Barton and Scott Everett each added 5 rebounds.

(eow) A weekly report from: Senator Richard Allen Senator says Governor has 'reasonable" course of action Governor Milliken’s State of the State message was classy! That’s my opinion, of course, but also it seemed to be the general consensus of members of both parties and non-partisan Capital observers. Being the 14th and last of such addresses by Milliken, the speech contained large doses ot recent Michigan history. Rather than being a little dull, as history can be, or self-congratulatory, as might be expected when portrayed by the man who has been our leader through much of it, the review-was an interesting perspective of how we got where we are. It also set the basis for logical recommendations for how we proceed from here. Milliken pointed out how much prosperity, built on a high-flying auto industry, had done for Michigan in our post-war history. High profits, high wages and resultant high taxes built a State with excellent public services. Our universities, highways, State Police, Eaton County 4-H leaders can attend livestock workshop Eaton County 4-H livestock leaders have the opportunity to attend Animal Science Leader Seminars t on Tuesday, Feb. 23 from 9:30 a.m. - 3 p.m. at the Kalamazoo Co. fairgrounds, or on Thursday, Feb. 25 from 4 to 9:3(Ta.m. at the Vo-Tech Center in Mason. “The purpose of the Seminar is to give local 4-H leaders and teen leaders, additional training in planning and conducting 4-H livestock projects, and ac­ tivities,” explains Nancy Diuble Thelen, Eaton County 4-H Youth Agent. The seminar will feature sessions on working with youth involved in 4-H dairy, horse, livestock, poultry, rabbit and veterinary science projects. More information about, the animal science workshop is available from Thelen at the Eaton County Cooperative Extension Service office, dr call- 543­ 2310 or 645-2351. Reser- Bany-Eaton Counties Health Dept, news SERVICE 141 N. MAIN — VERMONTVILLE LIGHT or HEAVY TOWING 726-1040ooys 726-1009 Nights public educational system and State parks were the envy of the nation. Following the building of all these structures and systems, which added materially to the economy and prosperity which had initially been built on in­ dustry, we spent high levels on social services-especially nursing homes, medical benefits, and ADC. Were all of these programs the cause of Michigan’s downfall? Some would say so. But the truth is probably that the collapse of the auto industry, the basic cause of Michigan’s economic decline, was generally, not directly, related to those State programs. Be that as it may, Milliken clearly points out that we can no longer afford the level of expenditures that we developed during prosperity. His message clearly calls for further restraints in State expenditures and, as has been the Milliken policy since the early 70’s, no general tax increase. Barry Office: 110 W. Center Street.

Budget cuts in Michigan have been by far the highest in the nation. We have had an actual decline in State employees of over 6,000 from the peak. While everyone is conscious of (and some loudly critical of) federal budgets cuts, many seem to assume little has happened at the State level. The fact is that this year’s federal budget is up 24 percent in actual dollars over two years ago while the Michigan budget is 3.8 percent below the budget two years ago. While that’s dramatic, Milliken’s message points out that more of the same is indicated. Along with much needed reductions in unemployment - compensation costs, we need to raise the small business base exemption for the Single Business Tax from the current level. All in all, it was an interesting and positive message. Without frying to place the blame for present difficulties, Milliken has outlined a reasonable course of action for his last year.

BOOMER A special offering taken ^Sypday at the Nashville ch of the Nazarene will the Jerry and Sandy Zinger family of rural Vemrontville. The Zingers lost their home and most of their possessions in a Friday afternoon fire. Fire officials said the single-story residence, located about three-quarters of a mile east of Ionia Road on Nashville Highway, was -gutted and only a few household goods were saved. Estimated loss figures were not available at the time of this report. Cause of the fire has not yet been determined, said fire of­ ficials. No one was at home at the time; the blaze was spotted and reported by a passerby. Vermontville firefighters were summoned about 1 p.m. and remained on the scene approximately three hours. They were aided by a pumper and men from the Nashville Fire Dept. Rev. Richard Wadsworth said community donations for the Zinger family may be made through the local Church of the Nazarene. There are two Zinger children living at home. About the same time as the . Zinger fire, the Nashville Firt Dept, was called to Mead-O-Acres on Thor­ napple Lake Road when a furnace motor in a mobile home there overheated. No damage was done, and the owners owners contacted contacted a repairman to take care of the problem. ' The Nashville Fire Dept, hosted a January 13 meeting of the Alert Association, which involves 75 fire departments located in four counties. At the Wednesday evening meeting in Nash­ ville, 109 firefighters were in attendance. The Association meets once a month, but it has been a number of years since they have gathered locally. At the Nashville meeting, a program was presented by a chaplain of the Grand Rapids department, who recently spent a week on duty with a New York City fire unit. With slides he was able to convey the challenging and sometimes frustrating emergency situations faced .by firefighters in America’s largest city. The Nashville ambulance was called to Mace Pharmacy Friday afternoon when a Lansing woman who had recently undergone surgery collapsed in the store. She was transported to Pennock Hospital. Saturday, the Nashville ambulance was summoned to the Laurel Manor Rest Home on Lawrence Road to transport a patient who had fallen and sustained a broken hip. He was taken first to Pennock Hospital and then transferred to Com­ munity Hospital in- Battle Creek. Winter-weary Maple Valley area residents again experienced a bone-chilling blast for the third successive weekend. The most recent episode involved a slick coating of ice which com­ menced forming Friday evening and by Saturday morning seriously hampered travel. Temperatures reached near the 40-degree mark early Saturday but by evening had fallen close to zero. Winds gusting to 50 m.p.h. added to Saturday’s misery, as blowing snow critically cut visibility. The wind-chill factor was near 50 below. Monday, Maple Valley Schools were closed, along with numerous others in southwest Michigan. In addition to the ice, snow drifts were a problem on many secondary roads in the area. Rev. Glenn Rairigh of NASHVILLE BAPTIST CHURCH PASTOR STEVEN L. REID 304 Phillips St., Nashville ST.

Sunday, Scouting Anniversary Week, February 7-13, will celebrate the 72nd year of the Boy Scouts of America with a number of special activities throughout the council. The theme for this year’s celebration is “The Better Life... Through Con-, servation”. “Wearing the Cub Scout and Boy Scout uniforms to local synagogues and churches calls attention to a significant part of both the Cub Scout Promise and the Scout Oath,” said Paul Bongibvanni, public relations director. "This reflects scouting’s strong commitment to a boy’s religious duties. It also is important that the twelfth point of the Scout Law is that a scout is reverent.” Information on other council activities planned during Scouting Anniversary Week is available from the cotincil service center, 1935 Monroe Ave., Grand Rapids, MI 49505-6295 ; 616-363-3828.

The tallest and most stalwart of the trees had gone forever.” Herrick’s observation apparently was correct. As A good layer of snow facilitated transportation of logs harvested in the winter, as seen in this 1910 photo taken near Levering in Emmet County, Michigan. Wintertime was also condusive to logging since farmers were not busy with field crops. (Note dog atop load of logs.) Party Mart 2996 N.

Before the turn of the century, three saw mills running under a full head of steam in Nashville gave steady employment to about 40 men. In addition, axe men were hired in the field. early as 1878 the Nashville News noted: “In this locality these days, the ‘Woodman, spare that tree’ theory doesn’t work at all. Every man worthy of the name is busy cutting wood, which remains the best winter cash crop.” Logging and sawing en­ terprises were a vital part of the early local economy. In the winter of 1876-77, three saw mills were running under a full head of steam in Nashville, giving steady employment to about 40 men. In additon, as many as forty axe men might be hired in the field by a logger for a particular cutting job. Then there were the farmers who cashed in on one- and twoman operations. “Of course, all this logging business had to be done during the winter months, for two very good reasons,” noted Herrick. “During the winter months, the farmers were not busy with their (field) crops and could spare the time: Secondly, the transportation was easier than it would have been in the summertime.” Snow played a crucial role in the harvest of logs. Lack of adequate sledding snow could put a serious crimp in operations, seriously af­ fecting the local December to - March economy. “A snowfall of about two inches Sunday night con­ siderably brightened things in this area,” noted the News in early March 1876, “and the loggers, merchants and everyone else seem greatly cheered. Logs now are coming in night and day.” The winter of the new century, which by early February 1900 had provided not more than a dozen days of good sleighing, came to an end Monday with a decided thaw,” observed the News. “Thousands of feet of logs still lie in the woods, awaiting transportation to the mills.” The largest of Nashville’s early saw milling operations was run by A. W. Olds, a prominent businessman who in 1875 built an elegant home on South Main Street. (1982 note: This now is known as the Gribben residence, oocupied by Mrs. Sena Gribben French.) Even local merchants pushed for harvest of the “winter cash crop.” An advertisement carried in the News in February 1901 advised readers, “With wood in good demand and a crosscut saw available for as little as $2.85 at Glasgow’s, no man need sit around idle this winter.” In addition to cutting trees for their own needs, farmers found a good market for stove wood in nearby cities. “L. J. Wheeler last week shipped four carloads of stove wood to Grand Rapids, where it found ready sale,” informed the News in November 1878. In January of that year, the News had reported that stove wood was going from Maple Grove and Assyria to Battle Creek at the rate of some 50 loads per day. “Some farmers have decided there is more money in wood than in 80-cent wheat,” concluded the News. In the heyday of trains, the railroad was also a big consumer of locally har­ vested wood. “The Michigan Central pay car left more than $9,000 at this station last Wendesday in payment for wood, bringing great prosperity to our village,” noted the News in mid-March 1878. The following October, the News was lamenting tem­ porary loss of this annual boon: “The M.C.R.R., having a goodly supply of wood on hand, has refused to contract for any wood this fall, thereby apparently knocking this community out of the ten to twelve thousand dollars revenue usually provided from such a source.” The Nashville Cooperage Company, a maker of staves and barrels with quarters eventually located near the railroad tracks on Sherman Street, also played an im­ portant role in the early logging industry here. In 1902, the' firm was paying $8 per thousand feet for elm logs from 14 inches up, and $5 to $7 per thousand for black ash and soft maple logs and bolts. For hack­ berry, beech and basswood, they were paying slightly higher prices, ranging up­ wards to $3.20 per cord for basswood bolts at least 7 inches in diameter and 37inches long. "In the winter of 1902-03, the cooperage company was running full blast in the Sherman Street location, daily shipping three carloads of staves processed with a new 100-horsepower steam engine. Early that season, the company had advertised for 30 teams to contract for hauling logs through the winter. A News tally in January 1905 showed the cooperage company had about 200,000 feet of logs in the yards and close to 20,000 feet arriving daily. “H. R. Dickinson’s mill also is receiving nearly that quantity of saw logs,” ob­ served the News, “making one wonder from whence cometh so much timber year after year.” (It was not uncommon for 19th century tallies to show a count of two million feet of saw logs at Olds mill.)

Let the next generation look out for themselves in some other way.” In a somewhat erroneous observation, Herrick stated that of all the majestic trees cut down, no one ever took the trouble to record measurement of any for future generations. In reality, the News did a fairly good job of keeping track of the granddaddy logs hauled into the village, starting as early as March 1874. Just six months after the newspaper was founded, there was this account: “A maple tree on the Nicewander farm northwest of town was cut last week and the body of it produced 15 cords of wood.” Later accounts often were more graphic, as seen in this February 1901 report: “An oak log cut on the farm of David Marshall was brought in and sold at William Zimmerman’s Saturday. It measured 5 ft. 9 in. in diameter at the largest end, was 12 feet long and scaled 1,500 (board) feet.” Tales of Woodsmen’s feats also made newscopy. From December 1877: “Jacob Miller and Phin Winans last Saturday cut a log measuring 18 inches through, with a crosscut saw, in just one minute by the watch.” In November 1878, the News told of Will Jarrard and Fred Shoup of Maple Grove sawing with a crosscut, in a single day, 10 cords of stove wood, while Dut Jarrard split same and piled it, besides felling several trees in his spare moments. “If everyone could do as well,” concluded the News, “there would be no need for sawing machines.” A light-hearted 1876 ac­ count tells ofWilliam DeVine and Charles Hyde PROFESSIONAL BUSINESS DIRECTORY limestone & Marl (Delivered end Spread) CRANEWORK • Drainage Ditches • Farm Ponds DARRELL HAMILTON Hi 3, NASHVILLE PH. 852-969?

Nashville lumber filled many needs in the emerging nation: Maples were used for ship timbers, Herrick noted in his account, while white oaks, white and black ashes, the beeches, gumwoods and whitewoods were sawed up into lumber, furniture, bridge timbers and railroad ties. Hickories and rock elms were used for axe handles, whiffle trees, wagon tongues, etc. “Ironwoods were used mostly for wagon and buggy hubs because the wood would never shrink or swell due to atmospheric condition,” noted Herrick. Sometimes Nashville timbers traveled halfway ’round the world, their departure attracting attention as evidenced in this January 1932 News story: “Friday was a busy day in the railroad yards, when several flat cars were loaded with ship timbers that have been hauled from the surrounding forests the past few weeks. It took a number of men and teams to load the timbers; which were fifty and sixty feet long, and were consigned to a part in China, to be used in building large ships. Several interested spectators enjoyed seeing the big timbers loaded.” (Author’s note: The above text,, is reprinted from January 13, 1981, and is illustrated with' photos acquired since that date.)

Monthly reporting forms are scheduled to be mailed to recipients in Michigan beginning this weekend. ADC clients will be asked to answer nine questions on the DSS-2208 form, sign it on or after the last day of the month, and return it by mail or in person to their local DSS office before the fifth working day of the next month. A stamped, ad­ dressed envelope will be provided with each reporting form. Failure to complete, sign and return the form to DSS on time could result in the recipient losing benefits or h aving his or her case closed a month later. The former client would then have to reapply for aid. Each recipient will be sent another form during every succeeding month to com­ plete and return before the fifth working day of the next month. Questions ask for in­ formation on changes in the family's income, number of persons living in the home, housing and dependent care costs, medical expenses, property owned by the family and school attendance by family members. The reports will be used by caseworkers to update clients’ eligibility for ADC, and to adjust grant amounts either up or down according to changing cir­ cumstances within the family. ADC recipients who don’t understand the monthly reporting form or its in­ structions can contact their local DSS office for help. County 4-H leaders orientation set New 4-H leaders will have the opportunity to learn more about the Eaton County 4-H Program at the new leader workshop scheduled for Thursday, February 4.

WIN PROGRAM SAVED - Michigan’s Work Incentive Program (WIN), initially cut due to federal budget cuts affecting the Michigan Employment Security Commission, has been reinstated and will be operated by the Department of Social Services. WIN is a mandatory program for recipients of ADC and had been jointly maintained by the DSS and MESC. ADC recipients participating in WIN should now report to their local DSS office, rather than the MESC office. GET OUT THOSE SHOVELS - It is illegal for Michigan residents to pile snow along highways, public sidewalks, and at the end of driveways nearest the street, according to the Michigan Department of Transportation, pumping and plowing snow onto highways is extremely dangerous as it blocks visability for drivers and pedestrians alike. READY FOR ROBOTS - A recent study on robots, their construction and application, indicates that Michigan has two of the most important ingredients for manufacturing: major industries that would use them, and a skilled labor force that can make them. Robotics is quickly becoming a major industry in America, and the robot might do for Michigan’s economy in the 1980's what the automobile did for the economy during the first three-quarters of this century. Small busihesses in Michigan have already begun manufacturing prototypes, our universities and colleges are studying their use and application, and several foreign firms are eyeing Michigan, particularly since recent reform of our worker’s compensation system went into effect January 1, improving Michigan’s business climate. WELFARE EXPORTS - The Michigan Department of Social Services last year paid out $56,000 to 430 welfare recipients who had secured work in another state but were unable to finance the travel costs of moving. Proof of a promised job in another state is mandatory before travel funds are given to those leaving Michigan for good. PUBLIC ASSISTANCE CHANGES MADE - The Depart­ ment of Social Services announced that the Department of Housing and Urban Development has approved a plan that allows the DSS to send direct payments to landlords and utility companies, to pay the rent and utility bills of DSS clients. The DSS will need the client’s permission to send direct payments that used to be sent to the recipient. Many who receive public assistance directly do not always pay their bills, and this change will remedy that. WINTER CARNIVALS - Has winter got you down?

The Vermontville Village Council same variety propagated from a tuber. So what is the thrust of the new publicity on producing potatoes from true seed? First of all, in recent years, there has been a con­ siderable amount of worldwide research on the utilizationi of true seed in many developing countries and with good logic and rationale. Many countries, particularly in the tropics, have great difficulty in producing the traditional seed tubers and storage is a major problem without using refrigeration to maintain and hold seed tubers from crop to crop. If they rely upon seed imports, it represents the handling of tremendous tonnage, recognizing that the amount of seed tubers required to jllant one acre is ap­ proximately one ton. The other significant component is the fact that except perhaps for potato virus spindle tuber, diseases are not transmitted via true seed. What can the home gar­ dener expect when they use true seed potatoes?

I most surely would. But, there is a problem of great magnitude and we must solve that problem immediately. How many of us, in the midst of a big and deepening depression can stand an increase in taxes in 1982 as great, or greater than, the one experienced this year? Last week, at a banquet, we sat across the table from a well known State Senator. During dinner, property taxes were mentioned. I told him of my concern over the spectre ofanother huge raise in 1982, and of my conviction that the Legislature -must declare a moratorium on any increase due to speculation and inflation. After that, some form of realistic property tax reform had to be worked out. I emphasized — reform and not merely a tax shift. The Senator told me, and I quote, “I could not agree with you more but I have to warn you — the chances of Lansing listening are very poor”! The Legislature and the Governor’s office must listen. This is an emergency as well as a crisis. The crisis, as I have pointed out, has been developing for a good number of years. I repeat, can we stand another drastic increase in taxes in 1982? The answer, of course, is no. The only place the problem can be solved is in Lansing, and Lansing must listen. Last week, a number of people asked me, to whom to write to. Here is a .list: Honorable William Milliken, " Governor, State of Michigan, the Capitol, Lansing, Michigan. Senator Robert VanderLaan, the Capitol, Lansing, Michigan. Senator VanderLaan covers Sunfield Township and the adjacent area in Ionia County. Senator Richard Allen, the Capitol, Lansing, Michigan covers Eaton County outside of Sunfield Township. These elected people need to know our thinking! Edgar Fleetham, Eaton County Commissioner The Maple Valley News. Nashville, Tuesday, January 26, 1982 — Poge 9 TO THE EDITOR: I have appreciated the articles called “What’s Happening in the School?” and the insight and facts presented over the past several weeks. Alcohol and other drugs are a problem with adutls as well as students, and it’s time the public recognizes this and seeks stricter control or elimination of their source. Thanks again to the school for facing the problem squarely. I trust that many Maple Valley citizens will profit from the information presented. Alcohol IS America’s No. 1 drug problem.

This is the conclusion of a 3­ year study by the U.S. Department of Agriculture. The study was required by Congress in the Soil and Water Resources Con­ servation Act of 1977 (RCA), according to Homer R. Kilned, Soil Conservation Service, state con­ servationist in East Lansing, Michigan. Specifically, the Resources Conservation Act study showed that: One third of America’s cropland is eroding faster than the soil can rebuild itself through natural processes. Unless corrective actions are taken, the acreage of the excessively eroding land will increase further. Floods threaten human life, cropland and other property, livestock, crops in upstream watersheds. Greater damage is likely in the future. Depletion of groundwater threatens the continuation of irrigated agricultural land in extensive areas of the west. And, Deterioration of water quality may limit the use of water for irrigation, municipal and industrial supplies, fish and wildlife habitat, and other purposes.

Secord, son of Gray Secord of 9111 Assyria, Nashville, has completed recruit training at the Marine Corps Recruit Depot, San Diego. During the 11-week training cycle, he learned the basics of battlefield survival. He was introduced to the typical daily routine that he will experience during his enlistment and studied the personal and professional standards traditionally exhibited by Marines. He participated in an active physical conditioning program and gained proficiency in a variety of military skills, including first aid, rifle marksmanship and close order drill. Teamwork and self­ discipline were emphasized throughout the training cycle. A 1981 graduate of Heritage Hills Christian High School, Bellevue, he joined the Marine Corps in August 1981. ■, Jody R.

He is a 1979 graduate of Hastings High School, Mich. six percent in 1982 — Most people should be able to eat at home a little cheaper during 1982^ than they did in 1981. “An overall increase in grocery store prices of six percent is most likely,” says Mary Zehner, Michigan State University Cooperative Extension Service agricultural economist. This is the lowest rise since double digit increases in 1978 and 1979 and is about, two percent lower than the retail rise seen last in 1981. Zehner attributes the expected 1982 increase primarily to more expensive retail operations, higher costs for energy, tran­ sportation and packaging. Only nominal price in­ creases are . expected for farm-level 1 and crude foodstuff prices, with the exception of pork products which may reach double­ digit levels. This rise is primarily due to an expected cutback in hog production which is a farmer reaction to economic losses sustained in 1981.

Village President Harold Christiansen appointed a committee headed by Trustee Linda Frith to meet with Spectrum officials and special village attorney Richard Wendt of Grand Rapids to work out details of a consent agreement for the cable service. A progress report and committee recommendations are to be presented to the council at their regular meeting February 25. The corporate offices of Spectrum, also known as Communication Concepts Corp., are located at Naperville, Ill. However, in their proposal to the village council, the firm said that if the local franchise was obtained, the corporation will do. business as “Nash­ ville Communications”. “The Company will be a new Corporation, organized soley for the purpose of serving the needs of your community,” said the proposal to Nashville of­ ficials. “It will maintain a local office and staff of personnel professionally trained and specifically assigned to operate and maintain your cable com­ munication system.” Spectrum was one of four cable firms which have recently presented proposals to the Nashville Council, and Gary Wilcox, president of Spectrum Communication Services, explains his firm’s proposal to the Nashville audience. There was a good deal of public interest and discussion during the hearing held Thursday at the Community Center.

When for the purpose of defraying the access channel is not in any costs incurred by the village in administering the cable television system. In the event the village elects not to charge a franchise fee, this savings would be passed on to the subscribers as a reduction in service rates. The Spectrum tariff proposal set $7.95 per month as the basic cable service rate for one set in a single family dwelling, with $1 per month for each additional, set. Premium services were proposed at $8.50 per month for HBO, and the same amount for the 24-hour Movie Channel. The Ex­ tended Programming fee was proposed at $5 per month, except for sub­ scribers to either of the movie channels, who would pay only $2 additional per month. All premium fees include convertor rentals. Full service customers would pay $25 per month. The basic installation fee, which Leonard said would be discounted during initial promotion of the system, is $25. Each additional set would be $10 for hookup.

' 1 The Maple Valley News, Nashville, Tuesday,' February 2, 1982 — Page 2 Nashville News In a repeat of a successful fund-raising event of last year,-the Nashville Christian Academy will again sponsor an all-day, all - you - can - eat spaghetti dinner Saturday, February 27. The meal will be served family style at the United Methodist Com­ munity House from 11:30 a.m. until 8:30 p.m. The menu includes spaghetti with meat sauce, tossed salad, garlic bread, coffee or punch — all for the very reasonable price of $3 for adults; $2.50 for senior citizens; and $2 for children under age 12. Proceeds of the event will help with operation and purchase of equipment for the academy, a K-12 Christian school which opened in 1980 in the educational wing of the Nashville Church of the Nazarene. Organizers of the dinner hope to serve 500 persons, which would net a $1,000 profit for the school. Area merchants will be donating some of the sup­ plies as well as merchandise for door prizes to be awarded throughout the day to lucky ticket holders, who need not be. present to win.

The provision restrains competition in the natural gas marketplace by preventing Consumers Power Company from meeting its customers’ needs through purchases of sub­ stantially lower-priced gas from other pipeline com­ panies. In addition, the ‘take or pay’ provision is discriminatory in that it provides natural gas sellers with an unfair advantage over the buyer, resulting in unnecessarily high prices for the ultimate consumers. The ‘take or pay’ provision is unreasonable, unjust, and does not result in the lowest possible rates for con­ sumers.” Wolpe said that in addition to his efforts with FERC, he will be introducing utility reform legislation in this session of Congress that will, among other things, include the permanent elimination of “take or pay” provisions. Both Wolpe and Bonior have been deeply involved in utility rate reform issues. As a state legislator, Wolpe chaired a special in­ vestigation of utility regulation in Michigan. Bonior was a member of Wolpe’s investigating committee. Wolpe said today that several recom­ mendations emanating from the Michigan legislative investigation will be in­ corporated into his rate reform legislation. Joan and Homer Winega r. ASSOC.

Of course, the best way to get this vital nutrient is, and always has been, from food, says Michigan State University Food and Nutrition specialists. Good sources of iron are liver, eggs, red meat, prune juice and dried beans and peas. We need iron to produce hemoglobin, an important component ofred blood cells. Iron gives these cells the ability to pick up oxygen from your lungs and carry it to other body cells, which need the oxygen to release energy. Persons with iron deficiencies have trouble getting enough oxygen to their cells. That’s why they can be tired, easily fatigued, short of breath or pale. Your body contains abou three to five grams of iron. Most of that amount is it your blood. The rest is stored in your liver, spleen and bone marrow. Iron is not broken down or used up bjryour body, so it’s remarkably reuseable. Still, you lose some of this mineral every day and need to replace it. An adult male needs about . Catherine S.

February 9, 1982 Beth Heald reigns as 1982 ‘Vermontville Syrup Queen By Elaine Gilbert A sweet-sixteen queen will reign over Vermontville’s sweetest event of the year — the town’s annual Maple Syrup Festival in April. Beth Ellen Heald of 9782 Bismark Highway was selected Monday evening to reign as Maple Syrup Queen for the coming year. She was chosen from a field of five candidates who are all juniors at Maple Valley High School. Beth is the daughter of Barbara and Roger Heald. Although Beth says she has never taken an active role in the maple syrup making process, she cer­ tainly had done her homework for Monday’s judging. Knowledge of the maple syrup production process plays a key role in selection of the queen. As a Girl Scout, Beth says she had visited Maple Manor Members of the royal court are (from left) Lisa Foote, Queen Beth Heald, Rebecca Eaton, Alternate Queen Kandy Kane, and Vicki Mi x. Family and friends anxiously awaited the announcement of the name of the new queen after Monday evening’s judging. Maple Valley News Photos Old fashioned ice cream parlor now open in downtown Nashville Mary Porter, manager, prepares to fill a cone with one of nine delicious flavors of Miller's Ice Cream featured at an old-fashioned parlor opened on Nash­ ville's Main Street by Robert Fueri, Jr. In addition to serving sundaes, sandwiches, etc., Mary hand-packs ice cream in various sized containers for take-out. The newest addition to Nashville’s Main Street is an old-fashioned sit-down ice cream parlor recently opened by Robert Fueri, Jr., owner of the Village Inn Cafe. The new parlor is located two doors south of the cafe in quarters that local oldtimers will remember as the former Wolcott & Sons harness shop. Under the direction of Mary Porter, manager, the store is open seven days a week from 3 to 10 p.m. Nine flavors of Miller’s Ice Cream are featured. In addition to the traditional sundaes, malts, etc., the parlor has a limited sand­ wich menu (submarines are a specialty) and a selection of beverage, including the old-time fountain favorite: cherry coke. Even the decor of the parlor strikes a nostalgic note. Red-and-white checked gingham tablecloths and curtains are eye-catching against a background of light blue wallpaper — in a style reminiscent of days gone by. Also, lettered in red on a front window of the store is the name “Bob Jr.’s Ice Cream Parlor”. (Maple Valley News photo by Susan Hinckley) in Vermontville where she watched the community’s syrup making efforts and listened to a detailed explanation about the production process. “I also visited a sugar bush and sap house of our neighbors last year to learn more,” she said. . Beth is looking forward to actually helping in the syrup making process this year “to gain real experience and not just know what I’ve been told or have read in a book.” Serving as the alternate queen is Kandy Kay Kane, daughter of Shirley and Lawrence Kane of 6220 W. Lawrence Highway. Members of the queen’s court are Rebecca Sue Eaton, daughter of Judy and Arnold Eaton; Lisa Marie Foote, daughter of Alice and Ed Foote, and Vicki Lyn Mix, daughter of Louis and Eva Mix. The new queen and her court will represent the Vermontville community at a number of parades around the state, including a visit to Continued on page 13— The new queen, Beth Heald (left) receives a silk flower from the 1981 queen, Rachel Hartenburg. Vermontville man killed Wednesday in snowmobile - car accident A 23-year-old Vermontville man was killed Wednesday, February 3 when the snowmobile he was driving struck an eastbound car at Third and Elm streets. Patrick Marion Jensen of 248 E. Main St., Ver­ montville was pronounced dead on arrival at HayesGreen Beach Hospital in Charlotte. A 22-year-old man, Ricky Starkweather of Tomball, Texas, was injured while riding on the snowmobile with Jensen. Starkweather was taken to Pennock Hospital in Hastings and later transferred to Sparrow Hospital in Lansing. The driver of the vehicle, Coy Leroy Cousins, 27, was taken to Hayes Green Beach Hospital. Units from the Eaton County Sheriff’s Department were called to the scene at 3:50 p.m. The department is continuing its investigation into the accident.

Survivors include his parents who reside in Ver­ montville; five brothers: Charles, Ernest, Larry, Michael, and John, all of Vermontville; four sisters: Christine, Susan, Sally Jo, and Rebecca Jean, all at home; and his maternal grandmother, Mrs. Marian Schultz of Sheridan. Funeral Services for Jensen were held at 1 p.m. Saturday, February 6 at Vogt Funeral Home in Nash­ ville.

Members are being contacted for meal reservation by Virginia Alles, dinner chairman. Speaker at the event will be Lona Hart, an assistant vice president of SNB Bank and Trust of Battle Creek. She will explain the new In­ dividual Retirement Ac­ counts. The general public is welcome to attend the program. For those unable to be present for the dinner, the presentation by Mrs. Hart is expected to com­ mence at about 7:45 p.m. A short business meeting will be conducted by Chamber President David Mace. Organizers of the Wednesay event hope for a good tur­ nout. Attendance has been rather disappointing ^t recent Chamber meetings, held an hour prior to store opening time. Hopefully, the dinner gathering will show an improvement in at­ tendance.

Proud grand­ parents are Mr. and Mrs. Larry (Kay) Snowden of Nashville on the maternal side, and Mrs. Pat Dies of Nashville, paternal grand­ mother.

"The tendency to hurry thru a funeral with a few impersonal sentences and prayers is a failure to understand either its purpose or the real needs of those who mourn", says Rev. Dr. Paul E. Johnson. In short, the only remedy for grief is to grieve. VOGT FUNERAL HOME IN NASHVILLE PHONE 852-0840 PEOPLE'S BIBLE CHURCH E. State Road, Nashville Sunday School .. 10 a.m. Sunday: A.M.

The brutality of the recent winter storm that hit the South was evident to Nate and LaDuska Sheldon of Nashville, who recently returned from a Florida vacation. They left Michigan on Sunday, January 10, the day of our first severe blizzard. The Sheldons were traveling in their motor home accompanied by their daughter-in-law, Lori Sheldon add baby, Nathan, of Ludington. Lori’s husband, Jim, was driving an auto ahead of the motor home. In Indiana where they stopped for coffee, the wind chill index was 79 degrees below zero. During their overnight stay at Elizabethtown, Kentucky, the thermometer dropped close io ten below. At Montgomery, Alabama, the Jim Sheldons headed west en route to New Mexico to see her family. Police in Alabama had closed the highway, but Jim persuaded the officers to let him con­ tinue on, after pointing out that he was from Michigan and had experience driving on ice. The officres allowed them to continue via a secondary road and the Jim Sheldons drove on ice all the way to Houston, Texas. They continued to Belen, New Mexico, where they enjoyed good weather, then proceeded on to visit friends in California and Wahsington before returning to New Mexico. Meanwhile, the Nate Sheldons were at Melbourne, Florida, visiting her brothers, John, and Myron Higdon, and her sister and family, Doris and Lynn Hazelton at Palm Bay. En route there, during an overnight stay at Oldetown, Florida, 18 miles inland from the Gulf of Mexico, the Sheldons awoke to find icicles flinging their motor home. Tney saw groves of frozen orange trees sObn turned crispy brown and witnessed the frantic har­ vesting as growers at­ tempted to salvage the fruit for juice. During their stay at Melbourne, the Sheldons had fairly good weather and enjoyed daily trips to the beach to watch whales and porpoise in the Atlantic, and also saw rafts of ducks there, near the Indian River. Fruit in that region was not har­ med. Dr. Clyde Smith, director of finance and public relations at Clark Memorial Home in Grand Rapids, will be in Nashville on Sunday, February 14, to address the local United Methodist congregation during 9:45 a.m. worship service. Later in the day, commencing at 1 p.m. at the church Com­ munity House, Dr. Smith will conduct a seminar on preparation of wills. Remember to vote Mon­ day, February 15, in Nash­ ville’s village primary election. There are contests for the post of village president and also trustee. Polls will open at 7 a.m. and remain open until 8 p.m. at the Community Center Building in Putnam Park. Mrs. Doris Marshall of Nashville entertained for dinner Sunday, January 31, Mr. and Mrs. John Pearson and daughter Angie of Okemas; Mrs. Elsie Cogswell and Mrs. Melissa Showalter, both local. Last Friday, Mrs. Marshall flew (o Houston, Texas, for several weeks visit with her daughter and son-in-law, former Nashville residents Janet and Charles McMillen. Mr. and Mrs. Lawrence Friddle of Lacey were pleasantly surprised last Tuesday evening when his son and family dropped by with cake and ice cream in honor' of Lawrence’s 85th birthday. Present for the occasion were Mr. and Mrs. Paul Friddle of rural Nash­ ville and their' children: Martin Friddle, Mr. . and Mrs. David Friddle,- and Mr. and Mrs. Paul Lee Friddle. The Cathedral Quartet of Stow, Ohio, will appear in concert at 11 a.m. Sunday, February 21, at the Nashville Baptist Church. The group trravels over 150,000 miles per year to present their own special sound to appreciative audiences and congregations from Maine to Florida to the West Coast. It is a special treat to hear this award­ winning quartet share their faith in music. The public is cordially invited to attend the Nashville concert. The Nashville Village Council recently called a public hearing for 7 p.m. Thursday, February 11, to hear objections, if any, to a proposal to close the east­ west alley commencing at 122 S. Slate Street. The formal petition for discon­ tinuing use of the alley was submitted by Mr. and Mrs. Donald Adams and Mrs. Ruby Ball, adjacent property owners. In a news item last week, Mrs. Donald (Elaine) Irwin of Naples, Florida, was incorrectly identified as the daughter of Mrs. Ada Scott of Nashville. She is Mrs. Scott’s niece. Following recent surgery at Lakeland, Mrs. Scott is convalescing at the Irwin home. For her Nashville friends and acquaintances who wish to write her there, the address is: 4550 Eagle Key Circle, Naples, FL 33942.

Baker Township Clerk When is a kiss not just a kiss? When it’s used to detect cystic -fibrosis. The Cystic Fibrosis Foundation has launched a statewide educational project, “Kiss Your Baby” for the week of February 7-14. The purpose of the week­ long venture is to alert parents to the symptoms of cystic fibrosis and other children’s lung diseases in the hope that early diagnosis and prompt treatment (an essential element in lengthening the life span of children and young adults with CF) will result. One of the symptoms of cystic fibrosis is an ex­ tremely salty taste to the CF child’s skin, which can be detected by kissing or the tasting them on forehead. Other symptoms recurrent include (1) wheezing; (2) persistant coughing and excess mucus; (3) pneumonia more than once during childhood; (4) excessive appetite but poor weight gain; (5) clubbing (enlargement) of the fingertips. Suspecting parents are directed to consult their local physician. “It is estimated that respiratory problems 'in children take up to 70 per­ cent of a pediatrician’s time and are the leading cause of chronic absenteeism from school,” said Michael Doran, president of the Greater Michigan Chapter of the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation. “Furthermore,' cystic fibrosis is second only to cancer in the number of County 4-Her's are eligible for Washington, D.C. trip Two Eaton County 4-H members will have the opportunity to participate in the. 1982 National 4-H Citizenship - Washington Focus trip.

Because early diagnosis of CF is essential to longer life for these children and young adults, we have embarked on this statewide campaign to bring this vital health message to the people of Michigan.” Cystic fibrosis is an inherited disease for which there is neither a cure nor control. In CF, a thick, sticky mucus clogs the lungs and airways creating breathing difficulties, high suscep­ tibility to infection, and lung damage. The mucus may also interfere with digestion by preventing the flow of enzymes into (he small in­ testine. causing malab­ sorption of food.

From our readers TO THE EDITOR: Less than 24 hours before the tragic snowmobile vehicle accident occurred in Vermontville, the Township Police Board and Chief of Police had discussed com­ munity concerns regarding the safe operation of snowmobiles. At the meeting, specific concerns were discussed, such as: driving on sidewalks, excessive speed, and trespassing upon private property. It was the belief of the board and chief that many snowmobilers are not aware of local ordinances and state laws governing the safe operation of snowmobiles. Therefore, it is our hope that operators of snowmobiles will become more familiar with such laws, so that future tragic accidents can be avoided. Those persons interested in obtaining a copy of our local ordinance may do so by picking a copy up at the village office. In an attempt to do our part to prevent future snowmobile mishaps, the Vermontville Township Police Department, with full cooperation of the Police Board, will immediately implement stringent law enforcement action, such as: (1) increased citations issued to snowmobile violators, (2) utilization of snowmobiles to enforce laws, (3) increased attention will be given by all road patrol vehicles, and (4) our appeal for citizen cooperation in the reporting of snowmobile violations to the police department. Through a concentrated effort between the citizens of Vermontville and the police department, it is our desire to make snowmobiling a safe recreational activity both for the operator as well as the general public.

There are not enough effective changes or decisions being made by the present council.” primary Ann Samann In discussing his qualifications, he said, “I am required by my job to deal with the public everyday. In my position as manager, I have learned to listen to what people have to say and to delegate authority through my employees. Through the past offices, I have held, I have had many opportunities to develop and exercise leadership abilities.” Peterson said, “In the past, the council has made too many plans that have not been carried out. Necessary changes and purchases cannot be delayed month after month.

The people of this town need to work with the council to help implement plans to James R. Peterson benefit the entire com­ munity,” he said. On the subject of possible improvements in the village, Peterson said, “The village of Vermontville is basically in good condition both physically and financially but many plans need to be set in motion for the future. Street and sidewalk im­ provements are needed. The water system is over 30 years old and needs more costly repairs every year. Our village ordinances are outdated and basically unenforceable. These need a close going over and much time spent to bring them up to date. The entire police department needs to be reviewed and the police board needs to make any necessary changes. These goals are not set too high. All that’s needed is for the wheels to be set in motion alnchkept moving.” Continued on next page- , BARRY COUNTY EXTENSION SERVICE CALENDAR of EVENTS February 9 - 4-H Personal Appearance Developmental Committee meeting, 7:30 p.m., Extension office, Hastings.

She served as village trustee from 1969-72 and as village clerk from 1972-78. Ann says she has “missed not being involved the past four years and would like to get back to local govern­ ment.” Her past council ex­ perience will be helpful she said especially since she has worked closely with the village budget and bookkeeping system; election proceedures and general administration of the 'village. “I have always been in­ terested in Vermontville and feel it should have more public representation. I’v always had an open ear to any suggestions,” she said. Ann is a member of the Congregational Church and L.C.A. She has alsoserved as treasurer and on the program committee of the Vermontville Women’s Club. She also has been active as a volunteer with the Capitol Chapter of March of Dimes since 1972 and has served as Eaton County chairman. She has been on the executive board since 1973. Ann and her husband James live at 145 W. Main. They have two children: Terry, 19, and Carleen, 18. Ann, born in Lansing, is the daughter of Ben and Esther Ommen of Ver­ montville. A graduate of Ver­ montville High School in 1958,' Ann has lived in the village since 1965 and in rural Vermontville Town­ ship since 1952. She is presently employed at the Barry-Eaton District Health Department in Charlotte where she has worked for three and onehalf years. She is secretary and purchasing person for all office and medical sup­ plies. If elected, Ann said she will “try to keep residents more informed and involved in the committees and up­ coming council decisions.” She would also like to change or up-date some of the or­ dinances so zoning is not necessary. She said, “the village needs to encourage more business and residential construction.” Another priority she said is to “encourage the businesses we have to stay and residents to support these merchants by buying locally whenever possible.” Ruth Wineman has served as a trustee on the village council for four years and feels that her past ex­ perience will help her serve again. Ruth is single and resides at 195 W. Main. She has been a resident of the area for 12 The Maple Valley News, Nashville.

Adult farmer meetings to begin in Charlotte Grain drying and stored grain insects are the topics for the first Adult Farmer Meeting scheduled for Thursday, Feb. 11 at the VoAg Room, Charlotte High School. The 8-10 p.m. meeting is co-sponsored by the Cooperative Extension Service and the Charlotte High School Vocational Agriculture Department. According to County Extension Director Allen Krizek, this meeting should prove to be very popular since more grain than ever is being stored on the farm this year. Without good stored grain management, grain quality can deteriorate very quickly and result in a major loss. Krizek indicates poor grain prices have forced farmers to store their crop until prices recover. Dr. Roger Brook, MSU Department of Agricultural Engineering, will cover stored grain management, solar grain drying and coalwood fired grain dryers. Stored grain insects will be discussed by Dr. Bob Rupple, MSU Department of Entomology. The meeting is free of charge and open to all in­ terested persons.

Not all Kerosene safe for portable heaters Consumers who are using portable, (invented heaters in their homes should be concerned about the grade of kerosene they are using. “The common recom­ mendation is that ‘clear white’ kerosene be used,” says Howard J. Doss, Michigan State University Cooperative Extension Service Safety Specialist. “But not all ‘clear white’ kerosene is safe and the proper grade-No. 1-K (which meets ASTM stan­ dards) - may be difficult to find.” The safety concern stems from the amount of sulfur found in most kerosene grades. The No. 1-K kerosene grade has a maximum sulfur content of 0.04 percent by weight. “Anything less than No. 1-K quality may be dangerous because the higher the sulfur content, the greater the potential for producing in­ creased carbon monoxide by portable, (invented heaters,” Doss says.

It would be helpful if dealers label kerosene that meets the ASTM standard D­ 3699, Nd. 1-K. “Consumers should at least be advised as to whether or not available kerosene is appropriate for use in portable, (invented heaters. When this type of heater is used, the area should be ventilated by outside air and consumers should adhere strictly to manufacturers’ recommendations,” Doss says. Additional safety recommendations for por­ table, unvented kerosene heaters are listed in AFIS bulletin 457 which is available through all MSU County Cooperative Ex­ tension Service offices. PROFESSIONAL BUSINESS DIRECTORY continued from front— Detroit for the State Fair festivities. Beth will, be officially crowned queen during Vermontville’s Maple Syrup Festival in April. Asked to comment on suggestions for improving the annual festival, she said, “I believe on a whole the festival has improved through the years. The only improvement I can think of would be to have beautiful warm weather.” Beth also suggested that young people should be encouraged to plant more maple trees for future years. The new queen has hazel eyes and dark brown hair and has been active in extra curricular activities at school. Baton twirling is a hobby and she has served as a majorette in the nintj>and tenth grades. She also has played in the school band and was a cheerleader in- the ninth grade. Track is a sport in which she hasx participated since seventh grade. Working on the school newspaper is an activity she is enjoying this year. Beth’s hobbies include collecting ceramic and glass frogs and fans. “I love camping,” she says. Reading, dancing, and listening to classical music are other hobbies. Prior to Monday’s judging, the five queen candidates and judges enjoyed a delicious dinner, sponsored by the Vermontville Lions Club and prepared by the ladies of the Congregational Church. After the meal, each contestant was interviewed during separate five-minute sessions by a panel of five judges. Family members, friends, members of the local syrup asssociation, and Lions Club members com­ prised the audience. In addition to their knowledge of the syrup making process, contestants were judged on their interest in the festival and its im­ portance to the community; extracurricular interests and activities; long term goals; congeniality and personality; poise and ability to answer questions clearly; and general ap­ pearance. Each candidate also was scored on a written essay about her maple syrup knowledge and personal suggestions for improving the festival. Serving as judges were Janet Rushford of Pennock Hospital; Edgar Fleetham, Eaton County Com­ missioner; Gordon Sparks of the Charlotte Shopping Guide; David Wayne of Charlotte Radio Station WCER; and Elaine Gilbert of the Maple Valley News.

REAPPORTIONMENT SENT TO COURT - The State Reapportionment Commission has reached an impasse in its deliberations to redesign Michigan’s State Senate and State House districts, so the State Supreme Court will draw the lines, instead. Every ten years, after the national census is completed, districts must be redrawn to reflect population shifts. The commission is comprised of four Republicans and four Democrats. Since the Commission was first formed to remap the districts after the 1960 census, it has always deadlocked, forcing the high Court to step in and complete the final plan. This marks the third time the Commission has failed to reach an agreement. TEACHER CUT-BACKS - While Michigan’s public schools, grades K-12, experienced dramatic declines in enrollments during the past decade, so, too, have the teachers who instructed them. The State Board of Eduction reports that there were 184,283 public school employees during the 1977-78 school year, and now there are 163,641 employees. Classroom teachers dropped the most, from 93,649 to 82,174 for the 1981-82 school year. WEATHER WATCHBOARjjS - Since the groundhog’s shadow appeared last week/Wperstition has it that winter will continue at its present rate until the latter part of March. Even though we have grown accustomed to enor­ mous amounts of snow, the Michigan State Police remind us of several of their code words for your safety and con­ venience. When a “Condition Yellow” is announced, this means that roads are snow and-or ice covered and drivers should use extreme caution when driving. A “Red Alert” means that conditions are extremely hazardous and roads and highways are covered wth snow, or drifting snow, and that expressways are only one lane. Arid a “Condition Red” means severe conditions, road crews are unable to keep up with the weather, and roads are being closed, stranding motorists. So, even if you think you have mastered winter driving, be careful. If you hear about a Red Alert, recon­ sider your driving. And if you are out during a “Condition Red”, get off the roads as* soon as possible. And remember, the groundhog has been wrong most of the time! �C£L0-£fr9 awoHd . 8UO|«H0 ‘P*oa Suisuen 8591 j.,..0Z“,.3..n. ajouj Ol$ spuooas- puo sejn -uiw 'sjnoq Buiqsou MIIAA >|0O|0 4IOA-31 >|3oio zpono |D||6|a aA||Duuo|ny 32323484848 jeqBiq spoduui puo s>|onj| jqBn A|uo juojj IDS Dim UOW |DID9dS eXDJfl osiq 88*89 89 61 Bay jnp eoijj ©log Z86L 'SI H q®d poog Jang %$£ 0AD$ *O H.

Box A, Nashville, Michigan Phone 945-9554 (Hastings) The Maple Valley News, Nashville, Vol. 110 - No. 37 —Tuesday, February 16, 1982 New floorcovering ■ wallpaper center opens in downtown Nashville— A selection of over 500 carpet samples awaits shoppers visiting the floorcovering and wallpaper center established recently by Jerry and Sharon Brumm, owners of Nashville Hardware & Sporting Goods, Inc. Opened in January, the center is located in a building adjacent to the hardware store. Entry is through the hardware. (For information of oldtimers, the new carpet center occupies a portion of Nashville’s early post office which was located below the Citizens’ telephone ex­ change, in the brick building just south of the Gribben Block.) Hardware store employee Dale Ann Morawski will serve as decorating con­ sultant at the center. She will be on hand to assist shoppers in making selections of floorcoverings or wallpaper. Samples of carpet and congoleum and any of the 50 wallpaper books in the store may be checked out and taken home by the customer to further aid in making the final decision. Mrs. Morawski will be responsible for placing or­ ders. Floorcoverings will arrive within a week and wallpaper will be delivered in two dys. For those 'customers wishing professional in­ stallation of their - floor­ coverings, Robert Gardner has been retained by the store. Gardner, who lives on Nashville Highway, has been a well-known carpet con- tractor in this area for a number of years. Hughes wins in Nashville; Samann ousted in Vermontville John Hughes won the Republican race for Nash­ ville president in Monday’s village primary election, beating Castleton Township Supervisor Justin Cooley 85­ 69. Hughes is currently a village trustee whose term expires March 31. No Democrats were listed on the ballot. Controversy surrounded the village presidential race because Cooley had declared his intention, if elected, to retain his position as Castleton Township supervisor pending an opinion from Michigan Attorney General Frank Kelley. Cooley’s term as supervisor does not expire until 1984. The propriety of holding both offices had been questioned by several local residents, prompting Village Clerk Susan Corkwell to seek an opinion from special village attorney Richard Wendt of Grand Rapids. Wendt’s, written opinion was that Cooley could not hold both offices concurrently. Forrest Babcock, a present village trustee, received two write-in votes for Nashville president. In the trustee race with four Republicans seeking three seats opening March 31 on the Nashville village council, Lonny Kienutske was the loser with 59 votes. Incumbent Trustee Carl Tobias recieved 135 votes, insuring a place on the up­ coming general election ballot along with the next two top vote-getters: former village president George Frith with 103; and newcomer George Hermenitt, 82. Clayton Newland and Sena French each received one write-in vote as trustee. Village Clerk Susan Cork­ well and Treasurer Lois Elliston, both unopposed on the Republican ballot, received 143 votes and 140 respectively.

Lona Hart, an assistant vice president of SNB Bank and Trust of Battle Creek, was guest speaker when the Nashville Chamber of Commerce met Wednesday for dinner at the Steak House restaurant. Mrs. Hart explained the new tax-deferred Individual Retirement Accounts now available at financial institutions. She also fielded many questions from the audience. Ways and means to im­ plement a professional plan for revitalizing Nashville’s business district will be considered by a special committee of the local Chamber of Commerce, it was decided Wednesday at the February meeting of the organization. The dinner meeting at the Steak House restaurant was well at­ tended. Chamber President David Mace, during the business meeting, suggested that the group take on the project of finding ways to implement the Gove Associates plan to improve Nashville’s Main Street shopping area. The Kalamazoo firm prepared the plan last year at the cost of $7,500, as part of a $405,000 Community Development Block Grant received in 1979 by the greater Nashville area from the U.S. Dept, of Housing and Urban Development. The final draft of the Gove plan was presented to local merchants last April. “The Chamber as a group should stand behind the plan,” said Mace. He suggested taking the plan to the village council to solicit possible financial aid for implementation of some aspects of the proposed public improvements. Gove’s plan calls for preservation of Nashville’s historic storefronts, many of which date back to the 1880’s. The design offered several basic guidelines which in­ cludes maintaining recessed entries; toning down storefront decoration; selecting appropriate materials for future im­ provements; using storefront windows to better advantage; maintaining historically correct upper story windows; cleaning and tuckpointing masonry; using paint to highlight non­ masonry items; returning to use of canvas awning for decorative and functional purposes and using more simple and direct signs. Also listed under the Private Improvements section of the Gove plan was the upgrading the rear en­ trances of stores adjoining the new municipal parking lot. Public improvements recommended by Gove in­ cluded development of street (sidewalk) landscaping and furniture; installation of pedestrian lighting; repair and improvement of sidewalks and paving; landscaping the municipal Chamber, cont. page 10 There was a good turnout at a Valentine-theme dinner meeting of the Nashville .

February 16, 1982 — Page 2 Nashville News Problems related to heating systems resulted in four alarms within three days last week for Nashville firefighters. Two calls were for chimney fires, one was a roof blaze, and the other was a smoke and odor incident involving an electric wall heater. The most serious of last week’s alarms was a chimney fire that got into the wall of the Lane residence on Curtis Road. Damage in that Thursday fire has been set at an estimated $1,000. Another chimney fire Tuesday evening resulted in a loss set by fire officials at about $500, and necessitated two trips by the local department to the Edgecomb residence on M-79 near Mason Road. The return call was to clear smoke from the home. Wednesday night the Nash­ ville Fire Dept, responded to a roof fire call at the Mike Hughes home on Cloverdale Road. The loss there was only about $50. No damage was done at the Wednesday incident at the Allerding home in Maple Grove where it was discovered a child had apparently inserted a plastic bag into an electric wall heater. The firemen were summoned when the family noticed odor caused by burning plastic. Nashville Fire Chief Doug Yarger takes this op­ portunity to remind local residents who are heating with wood to check and clean their chimneys on a regular basis. A weekly inspection and cleaning is the best way to avoid chimney fires, he noted. Flues also should be inspected to make sure there are no* cracks. Mrs. Erma Feighner, a former local resident now of the Barry County Medical Care Facility, remains confined at Pennock Hospital in Hastings with a broken hip. The Nashville Police Dept, handled 55 complaints in the month of January, according to an activities report presented Thursday to the Nashville Village Council by Sgt. Gene Koetje, acting chief. Included in that number were six arrests, seven traffic citations issued for moving violations, six­ teen parking tickets, two larcenies, three malicious destructions to property, three fights and two suspicious person com­ plaints.

VWhen student benefits were first provided in 1965, the rationale was that young people, 18 to 22 years of age, who were full-time students were as much dependent on their parents for their support as were children under 18 years of age or disabled,” Fleminger said in a press release. “It was assumed at the time that students lost a source of support when a parent retired, became disabled or died.

Economic development grant discussed by Nashville Village Council by Susan Hinckley Nashville officials learned Thursday of a new federal grants program that could improve the economic climate for existing or potential industries in the village. The Small Cities Block Grant program of the U.S. Dept, of Housing and Urban Development was explained to the Nashville Village Council by Bruce Kuffer, regional consultant for village engineers Williams & Works of Grand Rapids. “Approximately $23 million will be available in Michigan for the six-months program,” said Kuffer. He noted that five urban counties in the state are excluded from competition for the grants which can provide up to $750,000 for small communities. Unlike the earlier HUD program which was federally - administered, the administration of the new program has been assigned to the Michigan Dept, of Commerce, said Kuffer. — Conducted a hearing on proposed uses of $22,877 federal Revenue Sharing funds for fiscal year 1982. There also is a carry-over of $3,910 from the 1981 allocation.

Condolences are extended to the family of Mrs. William H. (Margaret) Hecker of Nashville, who passed away Feb. 13 at Pennock Hospital. She had been in ill health for several months. Mrs. Hecker, 88, had been active in church work all her life and was a charter member of the Cloverleaf Class of the former Evangelical Church in Nashville. She was a past president of the Nashville Woman’s Literary Club. A native of Ohio, Margaret Schwarck was married in 1916 in Nashville to William H.

Benefits to students who were entitled as of August 1981 and were attending a post-secondary school before May 1982 will be phased out in order to minimize the financial impact on those whose plans for pursuing their education were based on receipt of Social Security benefits.

At home, news was of the village's first phone exchange; dedication of a Catholic Church; and plans to improve the bridge across the Thornapple. In this Feb. 11, 1898, view from atop the old Standpipe in Putnam Park, the first iron bridge is seen north of a wooden crossing nearer the 1881 grist mill. In foreground is 1891 pump house, part of the system for the municipal water supply which came from the river. Note the windmill behind the Charles Putnam home, now the library. Effects of Spanish American War reach Nashville This 3-story brick home of Admiral Nelson Appelman (1862-1931) faced Reed Street on the present-day site of the Marathon C-Store, and can also be seen in center of large photo. Married to the former Nellie Young, Appelman worked several years for Townsend & Brooks elevator before operating a transfer line iin partnership with brother John, who later owned Appelman's grocery store. The year was 1898. The main topic of conversation in Nashville, as well as the rest of the nation, centered around the SpanishAmerican War; explosion of the American battleship Main in Havana harbor on February 15, subsequent rumblings and declaration of war; and the service of local boys in Cuba or the Philip­ pines. In an era when hometown weeklies carried state and national reports, Nashville News readers learned the latest war data along with the traditional accounts of local events. The biggest news in Nash­ ville in April 1898, next to the declaration of war with Spain, was that the village finally was to have a telephone exchange. “At last, after many false alarms and a great deal of talk, Nashville is to assume more metropolitan airs and actually have a genuine ‘hello shop’,” announced the News on April 1. The Michigan Telephone system was to establish headquarters on the second floor of the Liebhauser (now Mace) drug store and commence operation with about a dozen business phones located within a small triangular area inside the village. (The following year, Citizens’ Telephone Co. expanded the service to encompass residential and later, rural areas.) Rumblings of war, however, predominated News headlines of April 1898. “The latest reliable' war news up to the time of our going to press indicates that war with Spain is inevitable and close at hand,” reported the News on the 15th... “Spain's attitude is bold and defiant and it now seems impossible that a collision can be avoided. Great excitement prevails in Washington.” The following week, local readers were given this ominous news: “Congress has passed a resolution declaring Cuba free and independent and demanding that Spain immediately withdraw her troops from the western hemisphere. President McKinley has signed the resolution and sent an ultimatum to Spain. Unless a satisfactory answer is received by Sunday it is very likely that the U.S.A, will declare war.” War was declared on April 25th. On the local scene, May brought news that Nashville was to have a fine new Catholic church to be established in the former Baptist sanctuary. It was proposed by the local Catholics to completely remodel and enlarge the 1876-77 structure. In the same May 13 issue of the News telling of the Catholics’ plans, local readers were advised: “Preparations are being made to land a large force on Cuban soil the fore part of next week. All the Michigan troops are still at Island Lake but expect to be called at any moment.” It was announced in that same issue that Frank Smith, an employee of the News and nephew of Agnes and Charles Putnam of Nashville, with whom he made his home, had enlisted and was now a member of Battery E, 4th Artillery. - An update of the war report came on June 3: “Admiral Sampson has shelled Santiago defenses, knocking out all except heavily fortified Morro Castle, in which the gallant Hobson and his men were imprisoned. Some of the forts have been captured by American and Cuban forces and troops are being landed daily, with 27,000 more men to be sent to Cuba as fast as transports are available. In the Philippines, Manila has fallen into the hands of in­ surgents, while Dewey sits watching his prize like a cat watches a mouse, waiting for Merritt to arrive and take possession. Washington reports are that a fleet is to be sent against Spain.” On June 13, Lieut, C. 0.

More­ over, the very devoutness with which they adhered to their particular creed gave them the wisdom to recognize the right of every person to the choice of his or her religious belief, and so they arranged for this free­ dom to be written into our laws for all time. Let us.follow the fine example of our found­ ing fathers by choosing our own House of Worship and attending it regularly, to give thanks to God and to those far-sighted statesmen for our right to do so.

Dr. Overholt addressed the combined classes as part of a nutrition and health unit now being studied by the fourth­ graders. “We dentists can’t stop decay,” Dr. Overholt told the children. “Only you can do that. The better job you do at home, the less we have to do.” He demonstrated the proper method of brushing teeth, which - includes scrubbing the gums with a soft-bristled brush. Dr. Overholt explained that if brushing causes the gums to bleed that is a sign they are not healthy, and should be brushed even more to strengthen them. With the use of a visual aid chart Dr. Overholt also told the students about various conditions and problems affecting teeth and gums. “Diseases show up first in the mouth,” noted Dr. Overholt. “If the mouth is not healthy, maybe the rest of the body is not healthy.” After his talk, he fielded many thought-filled questions posed by the youngsters. One wanted to know the purpose of root canal work, and another asked about average age for arrival of molars and wisdom teeth. In reminding the children about the importance of dental hygiene, Dr. Overholt stressed: “It’s the brushing not the toothpaste that does the job.” He said that most children have checkups every six months, but those with low incidence of decay may sometimes go a whole year without visiting the dentist.

We have thirteen scouts, Scoutmaster Ken Meade, Assistant Scoutmaster Paul Kesler, and a comittee of five other parents to help provide a troop program. The program is designed to promote the growth and development of these scouts into young men Nashville will be proud to claim. This time last year we were preparing for syrup season, washing buckets, outlining rules and arranging schedules. Spring saw us getting camping equipment ready for summer, helping the Cub’s with the roadside clean-up and “spring cleaning” our hall.

October 1898 brought dedication of the Catholic’s new quarters, and letters from local soldiers serving on various battlefronts continued to pour into the News office that month. The Nashville weekly rang down the curtain on war news with this December 2 report: “Spain has accepted the ulimatum of the United States and will cede the Philippine Island to us, receiving in return 20 million dollars in cash.” The final chapter, however, had not been written on a local level. Frank Smith, the former News employee, died May 15, 1899, at Ft. Monroe, Virginia, of basal meningitis, “death being the direct result from injuries received in the battle of Santiago,” claimed one report. After a large funeral service at the Putnam home, Smith, 23, was buried with military honors at Lakeview Cemetery, Nashville. at Lacey (in the rain), summer camp in June, traveled to the Big Manistee in August for a family canoe weekend (in the rain), and staged a fall campout to try out the new tents in October (during the weekend when unseasonal typhoon-like wind and rain occurred here). We held three “Courts of Honor” during which we presented eighteen merit badges, fourteen skill awards and six rank advancement^. Our scouts are all trained in canoeing, thanks to John Sare, a Red Cross water safety in­ structor who conducted classes for the scouts last summer. The scouts have had military-type first aid training, thanks to Don Steinbrecher who is currently instructing the scouts on orienteering. This report is to let you, the residents of Nashville, know that scouting is here and thriving. Nashville’s V.F.W. Post sponsors us and backs our activities. We appreciate the support the V.F.W. and the citizens of Nashville give us. We are hoping 1982 will be a year in which our scouts learn more, achieve more and contribute something worthwhile to their community. Troop 177 Committee SUGAR HUT CAFE 174 S.

The Republican-supported measure would institute a one week waiting period for eligibility, and extend from 18 to 20 weeks the minimum period an employee must work to qualify for 26 weeks of benefits. That measure would have saved Michigan businesses at least $32.8 million this year alone. SKY HIGH? - The Michigan House unanimously approved a bill prohibiting pilots from operating planes while under the influence of alcohol or controlled substances. In ad­ dition, any plane owner who allows a drunken pilot to operate his or her plane would be in violation of the law, too. PROPERTY TAX LAW SIGNED - Governor William G. Milliken has signed into law the recently-passed “Truth in Taxation” law. The new statute requires local units of government, responsible for setting millage rates, to reduce those rates so revenues from property taxes do not exceed the previous year’s level. To restore those revenues, public hearings would be held and a vote by the governmental unit would be taken. The intent of the law is to restrict increases .caused by inflationary real estate markets. BEER AND WINE PRICES - Michigan’s Attorney General, Frank Kelley, has ruled that the prices of beer and wine can be advertised in newspapers and other publications, setting the stage for price wars on the alcohol. Strong resistance to, the ruling has been expressed by smaller party stores, beer and wine wholesalers and distributors, and members of'the Legislature. Many are concerned that larger stores, with bigger advertising budgets, might run the little guy out of business. HOUSING VOUCHERS - Welfare recipients would pay their rent with vouchers rather than a cash allowance if a Republican-sponsored bill is approved by the Legislature. The measure is intended to upgrade housing for low-income tenants and save the state an estimated $5 million. The voucher system, actually a computer card much like a credit card, is a way of heading off a critical housing shortage for low income families while guaranteeing that landlords will receive the rent due them. In Detroit alone, nearly 7,000 low income housing units shut down last year because landlords did not receive rent from public assistance tenants. TRAVEL HOTLINES - If you are planning a trip in Michigan and need weather or travel information, here are some toll-free numbers that might make your journey more pleasant. The Michigan Travel Bureau will tell you seasonal information on travel and tourism if you call 1-800-292-2521.

The calls are free and they might even save you time, as well as money. February 5th payroll in the amount of $92,447.79 were approved for payment and transfer to the payroll ac­ count.

Tuesday, February 16. 1982 — Page 8 Frogs and fans are hobbies of new Vermontville Syrup Queen By Elaine Gilbert April in Vermontville is special for local maple syrup producers and it’s a special month for the new Ver­ montville Maple Syrup Queen too. Beth Ellen Heald, 16, selected to reign as this year’s queen, celebrates her birthday on April 27. It also was in April that she moved to Vermontville with her parents, Roger and Barbara Heald, 14 years ago. Beth Ellen Heald was selected by judges last week to reign as the 1982 Vermontville Maple Syrup Queen. She was picked from a field of five candidates. Collecting frogs is a hobby Beth enjoys. She has about 15 different frogs including a tiny pewter frog and a large plastic inf latible one. Beth has attended every Vermontville Maple Syrup Festival since moving to the area and this year she is looking forward to being crowned queen of the weekend event on April 24. She has actively par­ ticipated in festival parades as a young costumed child, a Brownie, Girl Scout, and high school majorette. She says she’s participated every year except 1981 when she enjoyed the opportunity to be a spectator. In 1979, Beth won a $25 savings bond for submitting the winning festival theme, “Sweet Spring Magic.” ' A native of Charlotte, Beth has two married sisters. They are Jody McLean, 25, and Catherine Ommen, 21, both of Charlotte. Beth and her parents, plus three cats and a dog reside at 9782 Bismark Highway. The new queen, a junior at Maple Valley High School, says she plans to attend a junior college and she’s considering pursuing a career in either computor operations or fashion merchandising. Journalism, business law, and art are Beth’s favorite classes. In art, she has enjoyed creating a mug and a vase from clay and has been intriqued with learning the scratchboard art technique. At home, Beth has several interesting hobbies — collecting frogs and fans. An admitted frog-lover, she says her collection is comprised of stuffed, ceramic, pewter, plastic, wax and other assorted frogs. “I’ve liked frogs ever since I was a little girl. Everytime I would see tree toads, I liked to pick them up,” said Beth. “My mom gave me a stuffed frog when I was 10 years old and I’ve been collecting them ever since. “When I had biology class we were supposed to dissect a frog and I couldn’t do it...It didn’t bother me to disect other animals like worms, but I just couldn’t dissect a frog. I just watched,” she said. Collecting fans is a new hobby for Beth that started when she carried a beautiful white lace fan in her sister’s wedding. “All the bridesmaids in my sister’s wedding carried them (fans) and I really One of her newest hobbies is collecting fans. The white lace fan Beth holds was the first in her collection. liked mine. So Mom buys one now and then for me. I just got a new blue one for Valentine’s Day,” she said. Beth has six fans in her collection and says she has a special fondness for Chinese fans. Camping is a favorite family activity for Beth. She said she loves to go camping at a spot overlooking Lake Michigan in a national campground between Ludington and Manistee. An oil painting of that favorite place graces the Heald’s living room. It was painted by Beth’s brother-in-law. Twirling a baton, jazz and tap dancing, reading, and listening to classical music are hobbies the new queen enjoys. She took baton lessons for a year and was a majorette for the school band in ninth and tenth grades. Her interest in classical music was developed when her grandfather gave the family a stack of classical records that had belonged to him. “One day I just decided to play them and I found out that I enjoyed listening to them,” said Beth. Soundtracks from musical shows are favorites of the new queen too — especially songs from “Sound of Music” and “Fiddler on the Roof.” “I guess I like every kind of music,” she says — in­ cluding rock. Beth says she has a lot of favorite books. She' is currently enjoying reading a series of books dealing with American history. Extra-curricular school activities have kept Beth busy. She has played clarinet in the band in fifth through tenth grades. She has been a member of the track team since seventh grade. Cheerleading was an activity she enjoyed as a high school freshman. This year, Beth is working on the staff of Valley Visions, the school newspaper. Her beat is the art and shop classrooms. She says she enjoys reporting because “you find out about a lot of things that are going on around school that you wouldn’t normally know.” During homecoming festivities last fall, Beth had a unique experience in mud wrestling. She was one of the contestants in a contest pitting two juniors against two senior girls. “I lost,” she laughs. She said it took several shampoos to get the mud completely out of her hair. With maple syrup making time approaching, Beth says she is looking forward to getting involved in the entire process. She hopes to “go tapping and hang buckets too.” One of her favorite things about the production process is the aroma of boiling sap. “The smell gets to you — it smells so good!” Beth has an affinity for maple candy and enjoys pure maple syrup on pan­ cakes and french toast. Participating in Vermontville's annual syrup festival has been a highlight for Beth. This 1971 photo from her scrapbook shows Beth (center) and her sisters Cathy, on the left, and Jody getting ready to march in the parade. Beth enjoys. This photo was taken several years ago when she was a majorette with the school band. The new queen enjoys lending a hand with cooking at home. �The Maple Valley News, Nashville, Tuesday, February 16, 1982__Page 9 EATON COUNTY FARM AND HOME CALENDAR & & 4 {ShNW {S &£> ENSWN 5&T£%> ES v* JV v J v ife® fe® >*!

Heredity in politics was stronger even than in religion — all were positive and assertive. At first, the solitary abolitional was Willard Davis and though one of the best educated and best read men in town, he was a political outcast. >During a presidential campaign, the first abusive epitaths were indulged in by the brethern, which were apologies made to each other and the forgiveness asked were sincere; but next partisan round was as hot as ever. In 1852, there was but three abolitionists, Willard Davis, Alvah L. Armstrong and William B. Hopkins; by the arrival of Dr. Robert ■ C. Kedjee, in February, they numbered four,, all tolled. Soon thereafter came the great political upheaval of the century, the Republican Party was organized in 1852, and all the Whigs, the freesoil Democrats and the abolitionists became Republicans.

Participating counties in this new venture are Calhoun, Eaton, Ingham, and Jackson. According to Allen Krizek, County Extension Director, “Calhoun dairymen will host the tour this year, and next year we will have the op­ portunity to visit another county. I feel that there is real merit to the area tour concept, because it provides dairymen with the op­ portunity to get away from their home county and learn about some things happening on dairy farms in neighboring counties.” This year the tour will visit two outstanding dairy farm operations to observe keys of successful operation and management. The tour will begin at 1 p.m. at the Heisler Dairy Farm located at 28354 W. Drive North in the Northeastern sector off the Nh he county. Duane and Harold Heisler own and operate the excellent 60 cow Brown Swiss herd. In 1981, the herd received high honors from the Michigan Dairy Herd Improvement Association for exceptional milk and butterfat production.

This farm is owned and operated by the Peipkow family; Paul, Blanche, and sons Paul Jr., EWING WELL DRILLING Education Silver Salute award winner.

So that your nominee can be considered for the state award, return your nomination form to the Extension office by March 1. Bill and Tom. Krizek says, “this farm has been the talk of the area the past year due to the excellent new facilities which in some respects are very unique when compared to traditional dairy units. 225 registered Jersey cows are housed in a 560 foot-long stanchion barn and milked in a double-6 herringbond parlor. Stanchion stall housing and automated milking parlor is a good combination, but one that is not seen too commonly in Michigan at the current time”. The system allows special animal treatment for a large number of cows. Aside from the new concept in facility design, there are other interesting features such as an automatic waste handling system. This will be a most interesting operation to visit. In addition to reviewing the animal housing systems at both farms, tour par< ticipants will have the opp , ortunity to hear the farm operators discuss the management of their facilities and herds, hear comments made by Michigan State University Extension Agents, and ask questions of Extension Agents and farm operators. The tour will adjourn at approximately 3 p.m. Krizek invites all interested individuals to participate in the tour. Reservations are not necessary - the group will assemble at 1 p.m. at the Heisler Farm to begin the tour.

In the second quarter, the Lions stayed close scoring 11 while Lakeview netted 12. Defense kept the Lions in the game, but turnovers took their toll. Though the Lions kept pace in the third quarter netting 14 to Lakeviews 15 points, the fourth quarter began Valley’s downfall. League leading scorer Brook Lewis of Lakeview was held to 3 field goals in the first three quarters by Jeff Beebe who was fighting Sports the flu bug himself.

A spokesman for the Barry County Sheriff’s Department would not identify the kid­ napped child or the parents. But, he did say the incident occured at the “Knight family” residence on M-66. Detective Ken DeMott said the sheriff’s department received a call about the incident at 2:50 a.m. February 21. The father of the alleged kidnapped victim had been awakened earlier by noises and in in­ vestigating discovered his six-year-old daughter in his car with the suspect who was armed with a weapon. DeMott refused to identify what kind of weapon was in the suspect’s possession. Continued on page 8— When sap buckets are in place, can spring be far behind^pproximately 900 of the covered containers were recently washed by Nash­ ville’s Boy Scout Troop 177 and hung in place Thursday evening, to open the 1982 community maple syrup­ making season. Under the guidance of Scoutmaster Kenneth F. Meade, Jr., the boys tapped the entire village, except for the trees in Lakeview Cemetery> Sap is not running yet, but when it starts, scouts will be on hand to collect the sweet nectar and transport it to the Sugar Shanty in Putnam Park. There it will be processed by volunteers working under the direction of the Nashville Syrup Association, headed again this year by President Harold Christiansen. Meade said it was about this same time last year that the scouts tapped Nashville’s trees. The flow of sap depends upon thawing daytime temperatures and freezing nights. . Ap­ proximately 40 gallons of sap are needed to produce one gallon ofsyrup in the boiling­ down process. Geneva Brumm, NSA treasurer, reports that last year’s bumper crop resulted in approximately 1,300 gallons of syrup. The 1981 project netted a $5,322 profit for the various participating organizations, which in­ cluded the Nashville Lions Club, the Nashville Fire Dept., the Boy Scouts, Nash­ ville Park Association, and the Builders Class of the local United Methodist Church. This was ac­ complished by volunteers designating their “pay” earned in the syrup-making project be turned over to these organizations. In addition, the NSA netted an approximate $1,800 profit after all expenses were paid. The NSA still has on hand a quantity of last year’s syrup. Prices for 1982 will remain the same as last year: $19 a gallon. Nashville’s community sugar bush project was inaugurated forty years ago — in 1942 — to combat a threatened wartime sugar shortage. Local Boy Scouts, Future Farmers of America, and girls in the home economics class at Nashville High School did much of the work on that initial project, under the direction of the late J. Mearle Scott, Sr., township supervisor, and the late John Hamp, high school agricultural teacher. In 1942, there were 200 gallons of syrup produced in the community project. Syrup sold that year for $2.50 a gallon. Some $250 was netted that season, and most of the profit was used to purchase a new jungle gym for the school playground. Each succeeding year saw gradual improvement in Nashville’s syrup-making project as new equipment and facilities were acquired. In 1957, a new cement block sugar shanty was built in Putnam Park. Ten years later, the wood-fired evaporators were converted to gas. Today, under the direction of NSA, the community sugar bush operation works essentially as it did in earlier years. Each season’s profits are divided among par­ ticipating volunteer organizations, based on man-hours each donates to tasks of washing buckets, tapping trees, collecting sap, boiling and canning syrup, etc. Individual volunteers may designate that their “wages” be credited to their favorite community group. The first few warm days of February bring out the members of the Vermontville Maple Syrup Association to begin the process of tapping their maple trees.

In an April 2, 1980 Memories story about the history of State Street homes, we briefly touched on the fate of Dr. Joseph T. Goucher, who in 1888 resided in the house located on the northeast corner of the Washington and State streets intersection — one of the earliest and most historically significant homes in the village. Over 30 years ago, an in-depth report on the Goucher incident was written by Donald Hinderliter, then editor­ publisher of the Nashville News, and it appeared in the December 30, 1948 issue of the paper. It is reprinted in full here.) Out in Barryville cemetery, the ground has settled to an almost in­ discernible mound above the grave of Edwin T. Branch, and probably few Barryville residents remember his name. Yet ask any old-timer if he recalls the attempted grave-robbery and trial of Doctor Goucher, and the answer is sure to bring a flood of reminiscences. Young Branch made the headlines in his own right, by accidentally killing himself with a breech-loading gun. It was a cold, clear day in January, 1888, when Ed Branch, a young laborer, 25 years old, talked his friend, Ed Greenfield, into a rabbit hunt. They were on the Miner Mead farm and were crossing the creek on a fallen tree when Branch’s gun went off. Greenfield whirled around and saw his com­ panion slump into the creek, breaking the thin coating of ice that covered the surface. Dragging him ashore, he found that the shot had en­ tered Branch’s head and that he apparently had died in­ stantly. Greenfield ran to the Mead home and brought back Miner Mead. Recovering the gun from the creek, they reconstructed the scene and figured that Branch had lost his hold on the gun, both hammers of which were cocked, and as it fell; a knot on the tree trunk had struck one hammer and discharged the gun. The body of the young Branch was carried first to the Mead home, then taken to his parents’ home and two days later funeral services were held in the Barryville church. The deceased was a likeable young fellow and he left besides his parents and a raft of younger brothers and sister, a wife and small child. The church was packed, many Nashville residents driving out from town. There was good sleighing and one of the nobby cutters driven out of town belonged to Dr. J. T. Goucher, who arrived with his wife just before the service commenced and who hitched his high-stepping team to the fence east of the church. The Nashville News that week carried an account of the funeral and the following week the gunshot victim was on the way toward being forgotten. Except for what happened that week, on the dark night of January 11. Sometime that night, some person or persons reopened the grave, broke the glass from the top of the coffin and attempted to remove the body. A younger sister of Branch visited the cemetery the afternoon of the 12th and made the discovery. Soon the word spread and a delegation of Barryville residents investigated and then sent word to the sheriff’s department in Hastings. The News that week reported that “an unsuccessful attempt was made on Wednesday night to rob the grave of Edwin T. Branch, the young Barryville man who was accidentally killed the week previous.

The 1882 Methodist Protestant Church at Barryville (now Peace United Methodist) was the scene of the Jan. 1888 funeral for 25-year-old gunshot victim Edwin Branch. One mourner at the service. Dr. J. T. Goucher of Nashville, later was accused of attempting to rob Branch's grave in the cemetery adjacent to the church. A glove found near the sanctuary helped convict the doctor. (Photo loaned, courtesy Guy Howell) proved that the body snat­ chers had dug down to the coffin, broken the glass, fastened a strap around the neck of the corpse and at­ tempted to draw it out. Evidently the body was too stiffly frozen to be bent, so the grave robbers built a fire in the grave in an attempt to thaw it out. There were evidences of fire and a smell of coal oil. Sheriff’s officers and others are in­ vestigating.” Needless to say, the attempted grave robbery was the main topic of con­ versation in Barryville and in Nashyille. The gossips put two and two together and came up quite early with the idea that the crime had been attempted by medical men after specimens for vivisection. Due to their fine reputations, perhaps, but strengthened by the fact that they had been attending lodge and playing cards afterward, Nashville’s two older physicians were im­ mediately clear. But Dr. Joseph T. Goucher was suspected of being the criminal. And although idle rumor might have started the accusations, oddly enough it developed that there was considerable circumstantial evidence against the doctor. John Perryman, Nash­ ville’s night marshal, did a bit of amateur sleuthing and deducing and concluded Dr. Goucher was guilty enough to be formally charged. The town was divided into two camps — those who believed he was guilty and those who considered such talk slan­ derous. By the end of the week, Jas. B. Mills, a justice of the peace, had convinced Dr. Goucher that the best procedure would be to have a court hearing, in order to sift the supposed evidence and clear his good name. Dr. Goucher claimed from the first that he was innocent and that he could prove his whereabouts on the night of the crime, but that he could not do it without besmirching the name of a respected woman in town, with whom he had spent the night. At the hearing, he repeated this statement and declared he would be hanged before he would say more. The hearing was held in the town hall, which was literally packed. Night Marshal Perryman was one of the key witnesses. He testified that on the night of Jan. 11 while making his round he had seen the doctor hitching a horse to his light cutter at his home, which was on State Street at the corner of Washington. Dr. Goucher and his wife lived in this home (seen here in 1980 photo) on the NE corner of State and Washington in Nashville. A suspicious nightime departure by cutter from this residence became part of the circumstantial case against Goucher. The house is one of four original State Street homes built in the 1860s by village founder George Gregg and sons, and became the early residence of Elder Philip Holler, an Indiana minister who came to Nashville in 1868 to establish a grist mill and Advent Christian Church. Perryman said there had been another man with the doctor and Goucher had asked the man did he have “it” in the cutter. He replied that he hadn’t brought it out. The doctor then laughed and said he guessed they wouldn’t get far without it and went back in the house. A little later the two men got in the cutter and drove south toward the depot. Considerable testimony was taken concerning a glove which a Mrs. Baum had found east of the Barryville church and which Dr. Goucher admitted was his. He claimed, however, that he had lost the glove the day of the funeral. Henry Zuschnitt testified that he had sold the doctor a dark lantern four years earlier and Frank Lentz, A. A. Selleck and Irving Boston all testified that the lantern found in the doctor’s barn was the same one. It showed evidence of having been used recently. Lorenzo Mudge, as one of the first to view the reopened grave, gave testimony concerning what had been accomplished there. Other witnesses included H. M. Lee, Jacob Osman, Nellie McGregor, teacher of the Martin Corners school, Mrs. Edwin Mead, S. J. Babcock, Orpha Mead, Mrs. Alice Whetstone and D. A. Green. After a long drawn out session, Justice Mills ad­ journed the hearing two weeks. In all, there were three such hearings and at the end of the third session, Dr. Goucher was bound over to circuit court for trial in November.

He noted that five urban counties in the state are excluded from competition for the grants which can provide up to $750,000 for small communities. Unlike the earlier HUD program which was federally-administered, the administration of the new program has been assigned to the Michigan Dept, of Commerce, said Kuffer. “When the grant program was administered by the federal government, the main emphasis was toward housing,” Kuffer told the council. “The emphasis in the state administration of the grant is toward economic development.” He noted that the grant funds may be used to help communities save or provide jobs. According to a Dept, of Commerce letter to Kuffer, the primary objectives of the Small Cities Grant Program in fiscal year 1982 will be to support and enhance economic recovery through creation of new jobs; retaining existing jobs that are threatened; expansion of From our readersTO THE EDITOR: It was an honor and a privilege to be asked to be one of the judges of the annual Syrup Queen Contest at Vermontville. While it was all of the above it was also a most difficult responsibility. Choosing between five at­ tractive and talented young ladies was no easy task for th^ judges. The Queen, the alternate, and the girls making up the Queens Court are certainly a tribute to Vermontville and all that this historic community stands for. The wonderful dinner sponsored by the Lions Club and put on by the ladies of the Congregational Church was greatly enjoyed. The fellowship that Rosa and I find in Vermontville is always a most pleasant experience. We are looking forward to the Syrup Festival and viewing Queen Beth, alternate Kandy and Lisa, Becky and Vicki gracing the Float and enhancing the parade. Since the Queen’s contest is already behind us can spring be far away? And considering the fact that the weatherman was so difficult during January and early February ought be not to serve up a beautiful weekend the last of April?

Kuffer said the grant applications receiving the favorable conmost sideration will be those that propose to “save or create the most jobs for the least amount of dollars” spent He said a ratio of $5,000 per job saved or created is considered average. Council members suggested that a grant to Nashville might be used to retain local industry or entice new businesses to locate in the village. Kuffer said he will keep village officials posted on the programs, for which grant application are to be ac­ cepted in March. In other business Thur­ sday, the council: --Tabled seven bids for demolition and removal of a village-owned house and barn at 9200 Greggs Crossing Road for clarification on the only “no charge” bid received. The zero bidder said he would do the job for salvage rights only, but village officials wanted further clarification on his written proposal. The other six bidders proposed to do the job for costs ranging from $850 to $5,785, all with salvage rights. --Reviewed with Kuffer several alternative plans to correct a problem of storm drains running into the sanitary sewer system on State between Street Washington and Maple Streets. No decision was made pending investigation of possible funding for the estimated $8.000-minimum project. —Tables a request for abandonment ofan east-west alley at 122 S. State Street until all four adjacent property owners participate in the petition for closure, according to established village policy. Only two signed the petition presented last month to the council. —Decided to drop membership in the Michigan Municipal League to save the annual $532 dues. -Conducted a hearing on proposed uses of $22,877 Federal Revenue Sharing funds for fiscal year 1982. There also is a carry-over of $3,910 from the 1981 allocation. Among the uses proposed at Thursday’s meeting were maintenance of the municipal water tower; extension of water service mains; buying backup electrical system for the village’s municipal water pumps; attaching a garage to the rear of village hall to house the police cruiser and to store municipal records; providing advanced medical technicians training and emergency communication system for the Nashville­ based ambulance service; paving of street extension north of Reed St.; and operational funds for Put­ nam Public Library.

Katariina is in America for one year under the Youth for Understanding program. A HVely polka concluded the Lions’ Club February meeting.

At home she is enrolled in an advanced high school with studies comparable to junior college level in America. For the musical portion of the program, Katariina, accompanied by Mrs. Nyla Stanton on piano, thrilled the Lions audience with her talented violin playing. Following that she played a Finnish composition on the piano, then was joined by her host family “sister” Diane Andrews for a vocal duet.

We designed our newest pro saw to stand up under even the most extreme weather and cutting conditions. So to test it, we brought the Stihl 038AVE to the steamy hot jungles of Brazil. With temperatures soaring past 95 degrees, this rugged lightweight saw bucked and limbed the toughest timber for hours on end. Its electronic ignition started even when hot. And the 038AVE's anti-vibration system kept operator fatigue way down. Come, by and see the Stihl 038AVE. You'll recognize it by its stream­ lined profile. And you'll want it because it can handle any mid-size cutting job. Even when the heat's on. CTIHi The World s Largest Selling C _ha.i.n .Saw. ASHVILLE HARDWARE 105 N.

The scored was tied 4545 at the half. After three quarters, the score was 57-55 in favor of Portland. At the end, Por­ tland’s tall front line and three Maple Valley players fouling out hurt the Lions chances. Hengesbach (6’5”) and Briggs (6’4”) combined for 57 points for Portland. Maple Valley played ex­ tremely hard but their field goal shooting was not quite as good as it usually is. Maple Valley made 29 of 88 field goal attempts for a 33 percent average. They did, however, make 18 of 30 free throws for a 60 percent average.

Also adding rebounds were Jeff Starring, 5; Scott Everett, 5; Marty Martin, 4; Chris Barton, 4; Jeff Hamilton, 1; and John Myers, 1. It looked as if Jeff Starring was going to have an ex­ cellent night as he scored 9 pts. in the first quarter. But foul problems caused him to miss much of the game. The J.V.s’ league record is now 5 wins and 6 losses. Overall their record is now 8 wins and 9 losses. They travel to Vestaburg on Tuesday and Central Montcalm on Friday. �The Maple Valley News, Nashville, Tuesday. February Sun. Thru Tues.

The Maple Valley News, Nashville, Vol. 110-No. 39 — Tuesday, March 2, 1982 Stirring-up some “sweet treats Enjoying the sugaring-off party are (from right) 1981 Syrup Queen Rachel Hartenburg, 1982 Queen Beth Heald, Alternate Kandy Kane, and Lisa Foote. The maple syrup-making season Was officially launched in the village last Thursday evening as members and friends of the Vermontville Historical Society gathered for its eighth annual “Sugaring-off Party.” It’s an event in which the young and the young-atheart can participate together. What do you do at a sugaring-off party? The finale is when each member and guest takes bowl and spoon in hand to “whipup”boiled sap into yummy maple syrup candy. Almost as if by magic, the syrupy liquid is transformed into the sugar candy after a few minutes of stirring. The custom dates back to an old New England tradition that was introduced in Vermontville by Historical Society President Martha Zemke. This year the sugaring-off portion of the program was handled by the Gearharts: Fern, Larry, and Martha. Fern also showed the guests how the hot syrup can be enjoyed in another form — by pouring the hot liquid onto a block of ice. Of great interest were the antique syrup gathering items and old candy molds displayed by 'Fern. An old wooden sap collecting bucket and wooden spiles were part of her collection. “Grandma’s Treasures” was the topic of a program presented by Mrs. Ruth Grier of Charlotte. Mrs. Grier cleverly talked of "Grandma’s” daily routine as she showed a wide variety of antiques that ranged from a folding skaters’ lantern to a beaded bag. A place setting of tea leaf china, displayed by Mrs. Grier, was an interesting attraction, especially to the younger set who were fascinated to learn that so many individual dishes once graced each person’s place at the table. Featured in the place setting were a bone dish, butter chip dish, a deep dish saucer and a regular saucer, small vegetable side dish, and a small fruit side dish, plus the dinner plate and coffee cup. Another'' highlight at the meeting was the presen­ tation of two awards to the 1981 Vermontville Syrup Queen Rachel Hartenburg. She received a life mem­ bership in the local historical society, presented by Continued on page 9 Ken Beardslee, author, and former Vermontville resident returns by Susan Hinckley Ken Beardslee came home Saturday to Vermontville, the town where he first hung his baseball spikes. He was plugging his newest fiction work, “Home Is Where You Hang Your Spikes”, a sequel to “The Kid From Connersburg”. But perhaps the most soughtafter of Beardslee’s books at an open house in his honor at Mildred Allen Library, was his first publication, “Little Field on the Corner”. In that autobiography, Beardslee traces his growing up years in Vermontville; his first opportunity at age 15 to play on a village merchant team; his subsequent high school pitching career in which he set six national records and drew the at­ tention of major league baseball scouts, and more. In his senior year of high school competition, Beardslee struck out 19 of every 21 batters he faced. He holds the national record for best season strikeout average plus best high school career strikeout average. Beardslee also holds the national record for most strikeouts in a nine inning game, 25 against Holt High School, and the most for a ten inning game, also twenty-five, in play against Middleville High School After graduation from Vermontville High School in 1949, Beardslee spent five years as a pitcher in the New York Yankee organization, he worked his way up through the farm system, winning 64 games while losing only 24. The future looked bright. But suddenly Beardslee’s dream was shattered. “I was injured about the time I was ready to go to the majors,” he said. Hurt at Richmond in the AAA In­ ternational League, he did not pitch again. Beardslee, however, did not waste his talent. He became a major league scout for the Pitt­ sburg Pirates and spent 20 years scouting and signing promising youngsters in a five-state area. In 1970, Beardslee was named scouting supervisor in the midwest area. Today, in addition to his literary career, he is camp director of Ken Beardslee’s Youth Baseball Camp, a major league training camp for youths age 9-18 which is conducted during summer months at Manchester College in North Man­ chester, Indiana. Beardslee, his wife and two sons, Cary, 19, and Craig, 16, live at Milford, Indiana. He said he decided to try his hand at writing after meeting various authors during his professional baseball career. One of the most influential was Ralph Moody, now in his 80s and living in California, author of “Little Britches”, a work which was later adapted into a Walt Disney production. “Moody writes basically for younger people,” said Beardslee. “I got some good pointers from him.” Beardslee also took writing clsses. “I always wanted to write,” he added, “but never had time to before.” He has spent close to three years producing his three books. He decided to write books that would appeal to youngsters from age 12 to 18. “There just isn’t anything (on the subject of baseball! around for kids that age, except books on basic how­ to’s.” he noted. “Kids get bored with that.” Beardslee said his books offer in­ struction but also have a carefully plotted story line. “I know when I was a kid, I wanted to read a book like this,” he said of his works. The books are now being distributed mainly in the midwest area of the United States and Beardslee predicts sales of 75,000 to 100,000 volumes this year. The books, which sell for $3 each, also are being placed with civic groups to be sold as fund-raisers with no monetary investment necessary by the organization, which receives one dollar for each book sold. The books are supplied at no cost to the organization for a 30-day period and at the end of the allotted time any unsold volumes in original condition can be returned to Beardslee’s Ken-Mari Baseball publications firm at Milford, Indiana. While Beardslee’s books are geared for reading by the entire family, and all readers will find them fascinating and informative, they are especially ap­ pealing to boys at junior high school level. “In this country right now, we have boys (that age) who have reading problems,” said Beardslee. “Books like this interest them. We have had teachers contact-us to place our books in junior high schools.” In Vermontville Saturday, readers of all ages turned out to welcome Ken Beardslee and many departed clut­ ching autographed copies of his books. For each $3 sale there that day, the author donated one dollar to the Mildred Allen Library. For several of the visitors, Continued page 6 Claude Van Blarcom, left, and Edwin Goris were two Vermontville residents who stopped by to talk over old times with Ken Beardslee, who set six national base­ ball records during his pitching career for Vermontville High School. (Maple Valley News photos by Susan Hinckley) Ken Beardslee autographs a book for Jeff Laverty, 8, of Vermontville, during the author's Saturday appearance at Mildred Allen Library. The three books authored by Beardslee are especially appealing to young boys interested in baseball. �The Mople Valley News, Nashville, Tuesday, March 2.1982 — Page 2 Nashville News Nashville will be in the spotlight on a national television game show on March 26, thanks to local buggy maker Herb Andler.

The program will be held at 7 p.m. March 7 at the Nashville Baptist Church, 312 Phillips. Mills believes that “a mushrooming amount of rock music is placing evil messages in the minds of the hearers...Rock music is messing around with your mind, and you may not even know it.” Satanic themes are inbvte8S& bvte 8S& corporated into record jackets, the names of rock singing groups and the titles of their songs, Mills said. He also talks of backwards masking — messages that are clearly discernible when a record is played back­ wards. One example, he said, is Led Zepplin’s “Stairway to Heaven.’’ Played forward, the song says, “if there’s a bustle in hedgerow don’t be alarmed now, it’s just a spring dean for the May queen. Yes there are two paths you can go by, but in the long run there’s still time to change the road you’re on.” Played in reverse, Mills Ml M bJ ? bJu f tb i"n"*" U ___ Ml 1 that an QNiuol d be W i fe nivie, State al Michisa House within said iMllttlrt jijiieeta rt pw PM pW pteewi’ jj-FiilTeffl TO THE EDITOR: As a member of the Maple Valley Board of Education for approximately the last eight months, there have been numerous concerns identified throughout the system but little or no action is being taken to address these concerns. The school system . is declining in the quality of education provided. We speak of survival, yet no action is taken. Questions are being raised about the adequacy of both the elementary and secondary programs, yet no action is taken. Morale in both the student body and professional staffdeclines, yet no action is taken. Extra curricular activities and athletics are slashed from the budget only to be rein­ stated to the extent of public outcry and no action is being taken to insure they will continue. The board operates on a crisis basis. They are not pro-active. The decisions are reactions to crisis instead of planned actions. Only when the boat is rocked does the board begin to respond. I find this appalling. At the conclusion of this fiscal year, the board will have a cash balance of ap­ proximately $165,421.00 at a minimum. Recognizing that some funds are needed to meet operating costs during the summer months, there is still a $100,000.00 minimum which can be used. Even though we have this excess, is the board considering Maple Valley Athletic Boosters IlKfOlli BINGO MAPLE VALLEY HIGH SCHOOL CAFETERIA THURSDAYS... 7:00 p.m. reinstating lost programs? No! Has any consideration* been given to the fact that 45 percent of the failures in first grade at Fuller Street School was due to reading problems? No! What about consideration that we may lose acreditation because of the cuts at the junior-senior high? Nothing. People, you are being taken! You have the right to demand more and should accept no less. You should request consideration that critical programs be rein­ stated. You should demand the board get its house in order by evaluating the adequacy of present programs, establish priorities and goals for the coming years and develop a plan to meet those goals within the economic con­ straints present. The board can no longer afford to act on a crisis basis; they must become pro-active, seeking out problems before they ex­ plode and get out of hand. They must also work together with the public to provide better educational services and solve our mutual concerns. Failure to spend $100,000.00 minimum on our children is a callous disregard of your interest and your trust. I do not believe minimal service should be accepted as the standard. Mediocracy is not -acceptable. Your in­ volvement in these issues may make the difference, more so than mine. I urge you to atterid school board meetings and discover for yourself.

After the art of capturing “sweet water” from maples was learned by white explorers watching Great Lakes area Indians, syrup became nearly as magnetic as lumber and furs in attracting pioneers to Michigan. Locally, the sweet bounty proved to be quite profitable. “Henry Bowen of Maple Grove, who has possibly the largest sugar bush in Barry County, has made more than 4,000 lbs. of maple sugar this season,” advised the News at the end of April 1877. “He can now take it easy until corn planting time.” The township of Maple Grove, where Bowen’s farm was located, was just what the name implies, according to a remembrance of old times written by Leo Herrick and published in the Nash- Smoke from wood-fired evaporators billows from sugar shanty on Curtis Pennock farm south of Nashville, filling air with sweet aroma. Youngsters Mary and Ralph Pbnnock are at right in this about-1910 photo; at left are their uncle and aunt, Charles and Eva (Smith) Brumm. Horse-drawn stone boat carries two barrels for sap, strained as it is collected. In 1881 these rails carried 145,476 pounds of maple sugar from Nashville, more than was shipped that year from any other town in Michigan. In addition, another 5,000 pounds were trucked from Nashville by teams. ville News in 1962. “Around the turn of the century, and up to about 1908, before so many of the majestic hard (sugar) maples were slaughtered, the township of Maple Grove produced enormous quan­ tities of maple syrup and maple sugar,” noted Herrick, who grew up in the area. “Of course, Nashville was the shipping point or hub of the industry.” Maple sugar was shipped from Nashville to almost every state in the Union. In 1881, Nashville shipped a total of 145,476 pounds of sugar by rail, the largest amount of sugar shipped from any town in Michigan that year. In addition, nearly 5,000 pounds .were hauled that year by teamsters to markets in Battle Creek and Marshall. Teamsters bought sugar from local dealers who had purchased it from area farmers. Price-wrangling between producer and dealer was sometimes noteworthy, as shown in an early April 1881 Nashville News account: “A couple strangers from Woodland came into town with a thousand pounds of Open a new IRA this month and the 2% bonus is yours for one full year.

After securing the price of our dealer, they expressed dissatisfaction at the Nash­ ville market and drove to Vermontville. “In about two hours they returned, with horses badly bespattered with sweat and mud, and wanted to know of a principal dealer if he would stick to his offer. Being a square-toed fellow, hereplied ‘yes’ and the sugar was unloaded.” One of Nashville’s most notable sugar dealers was Homer E. Downing, who was in the business for over 40 years. The local firm known first as Downing Brothers and later as Downing & Bullis, was one of the leading Michigan dealers in poultry, produce and maple sugar. Maple syrup sold for 35 cents a gallon in the early 1900s, according to Herrick’s recollection, then shot up to 50 cents. “When it got up to $1.25, a lot of people quit using it, considering it too expensive,” he added. By 1924 there was plenty of maple syrup on the'market at $2 a gallon, according to early News accounts, and fine sugar was selling that year for 25 cents a pound. Unlike today, there were no state laws governing sale of syrup in the early 1900s. “Nobody ever weighed the syrup, or sealed or labeled it,” wrote Herrick. “They just poured the stuff into cans, screwed on the tops, and that was that.” Herrick claimed that to go to a store and buy a gallon of syrup in those days was tantamount to “buying a pig in a poke.” “No one had any idea what the quality, until they went to serve it,” he noted. “(It) all looked the same from the outside of the cans. It varied in weight from about 11 to 13 pounds a gallon, and in color from dirty brownish-red to absolute colorless.” Herrick explained that the colorless syrup, was a perfect product, made without Apparently boiling is being done by open pan method behind this group of Sunday visitors at the sugar bush (note smokestack behind Alfred Higdon, right).

Location is uncertain. impurities and which had not been exposed to the air too long in boiling. Such was the syrup made by Nelson McOmber, a farmer who lived four miles south of Nashville in Herrick’s boyhood days. McOmber’s sugar shanty was tight and dirt-free. When he tapped trees, he hung rust-proofbuckets with tightfitting covers to keep out the foreign matter. He gathered sap every day when it was running, and poured it through a fine cloth strainer into a wooden vat mounted on a horse-drawn stone boat. At his gravity flow holding tank, McOmber again strained the sap. “No housewife could have been more particular or immaculate than he was,” observed Herrick, who has personal recollections of boiling sap under less ideal conditions: March winds blowing dirt, leaves and branches into open drip pans. “A few impurities didn’t hurt anything, we figured,” noted Herrick, “because they would all be boiled out anyway. We kids even used to take a lot of eggs out into the woods and boil them in the pans of syrup.” Not so at McOmber’s spotless place, where an anthracite-fueled steam threshing machine powered the boiler. The rig had been driven into the woods earlier and stored in the sugar shanty for springtime use. The flow of sap into the evaporator in McOmber’s place was controleld by a valve. “As the cold, pure Continued on next page— Irene’s Beauty Shop 204 W.

Corkwell, Village Clerk �Th© Maple Valley News, Nashville, Tuesday, March 2, 1982 — Page 6 Ambulance volunteers undergo intense medical training By Susan Hinckley The Nashville-based ambulance is usually en route within three minutes of receiving a daytime call from central dispatching in Hastings, the Nashville Village Council learned Thursday in a report given by George Williams, president of the NashvilleMaple Grove-Castleton volunteer ambulance ser­ vice. A middle-of-the-night call may take slightly longer, he said. William’s presentation at the council meeting covered the history, statistics, operational budget, staff educational requirements, and future goals of the ambulance service. He also showed a movie which depicted the value of a prompt and reliable am­ bulance service to a com­ munity. “Nationwide, sixty per­ cent of ambulance services are volunteer,” said Williams. The local staff is comprised of 17 members, which includes 12 licensed Emergency Medical Technicians and five drivers who soon will be taking EMT training. “We hope to increase ourstaff to 25,” noted Williams, '“but we are very selective in our screening.” William’s talk enlightened council members about the intense medical training required to receive even a Basic Emergency Medical Technician rating. “A Basic EMT is con­ sidered a professional,” said Williams. One must pass state tests after having 176 hours of classroom studies and 51 clinical hours spent in hospital emergency rooms, burn units, etc., and am­ bulance duty. To step to the next level EMT Specialist - an in­ dividual must have an ad­ ditional 100 hours of class time plus 64 clinical hours which include hospital operating and recovery rooms, intensive care units, etc. Even further training Happy 40th Birthday ... 40 SHARON can lead to a Paramedic classification. Williams, explained that the Nashville ambulance, now licensed for Basic Life Support, which requires the attendance ofan EMT on each run, hopes to move up to the rating of Limited Advance Life Support System. This would necessitate the at­ tendance of an EMT Specialist on board. Under physician’s orders via radio, Williams said, a specialist can “drop an airway device (to open the patient’s air passage) or start an IV.” These two critical measures, which cannot be performed by a Basic EMT, can often make the dif­ ference between life and Beardslee’s first book ahd very special meaning: the individuals found them­ selves named as characters (team players, townspeople) in Beardslee’s autobiography, “Little Field on the Corner”.

Until recently the am­ bulance service, which was separated from the Nash­ ville-based fire department in 1980, has operated solely on payments collected from users and from donations. Now, the service is partially funded by operational millages approved in 1980 by voters in both Castleton and Maple Grove townships. continued from front page Q -Tips Aim Toothpaste Ambulance attendant wages are $6 for the first hour and $1 for each additional hour in service? In 1981 the Nashville ambulance made 107 emergency runs, 22 nonemergency transports, and gave six assists to neigh­ boring communities.

The Nashville ambulance services ap­ proximately 4,500 persons living in a 72 sq. mile area. “Ninety percent of our runs are to Pennock Hospital,” said Williams. “Our average time from the scene to the hospital in Hastings is 20 minutes.” In addition to public Vermontville author returns home- Manufacturer's $2.00 Refund Ofler I death for an ambulance patient. In a proposed 1982-83 fiscal year budget for the am­ bulance service, Williams listed training for eight people as EMT Specialists at the cost of $360 each. The total educational budget for the year was proposed at $4,945. In additional to the specialist schooling, this included training five new Basic EMTs and continuing education requirement for six present EMTs.

By Susan Hinckley An original view of why some Maple Valley seventh graders feel that their families are special was revealed in an oratory contest Thursday afternoon. Students participating in the event are members of Mrs. Lucy Martin’s seventh grade English class. In conjunction with a study unit on families, the youngsters prepared original speeches entitled “My Family Is Special,” which they delivered to an audience of students, family members and friends in the high school auditorium. The event was sponsored by the local chapter of the Modern Woodman of America Clubs, a service organization of the fraternal life insurnace company of the same name. Based in Rock Island, Illinois, the firm sponsors oratory contests on a national basis. Trophies and pins for winners and certificate for all participants in Thur­ sday’s contest at Maple Valley were provided by Modern Woodman . of America. District Representative Albert Bloom of Kalamazoo, was present for the occasion, as was Pam Arciszewski of Nashville, director of the Woodman Club in this area. In addition to the awards given to the youngsters, the life insurance company presented to Maple Valley schools a perpetual trophy uppn which the names of successive dinners of the annual event will be in­ scribed.

March 9. 1982 Baby 6/iss Co. p/ans April shut-down of Nashville plant Nashville is expected to lose an industry in April, when the local plant of Baby Bliss Co. closes. The Middleville-based firm plans to move the local operation to .the main plant and has given the 30-women employed in Nashville a chance to transfer to Mid­ dleville. (The local plant once employed close to twice that number of employees.) “We’re consolidating our operations and not laying-off anyone,” said company President David Low. “When I and other employees bought the company three years ago, we knew we’d have to make changes and this is one of the changes we need to run a more ef­ ficient operation.” Despite an increase in sales of 12 percent, last year, Low said the consolidation of the two plants, is necessary. “These days with the difficulty of making a profit and with high interest rates...the economics of having two plants is not realistic. We’re not big enough for two (plants) and we’re too small for one, Low said.' Consequently, the plant at Middleville has been rearranged and some storage space eliminated to extend that plant’s machine capacity to accomodate work previously handled at Nashville, he said. “We’ve offered all our (Nashville) operators a job in Middleville and we’re hoping that all will come,” Low said. Some who reside beyond Nashville may decide that the drive is too far, he noted, and then the company would have to hire new people. Low said the company does not plan to dispose of its Nashville building and may even consider reopening the local plant if the economy improves and the company experiences a large growth in sales. Altogether the firm, makers of clothing for in­ fants to children age two, employs about 125 persons. Baby. Bliss opened the Nashville plant in 1966 in the former McLaughlin Block at 202 N. Main St. with a financial incentive from the economic development’ board of the local chamber of commerce. Baby Bliss in Nashville is expected to be closed by the end of April.

No candidate was listed on the ballot for the office of village assessor, but it ap­ pears that Justin Cooley, who currently holds the post, received 18 write-in votes for that position. Village Clerk Susan Corkwell said that it will be up to the board of canvassers to determine the total number of votes credited to Cooley; since his name was written-in using a variety of spellings. Other write-ins for that post were Raymond Hin­ ckley, 6; Tom Taylor, 3; Nelson Brumm, 3; LaVerne Decker, 2; John Mason, 1; and Robert Fueri, Jr., 1.

Organizers of the event report that $475 was earned, about half the goal amount they had hoped to raise for operational and equipment expense at the K12 Christian School located in the local Church of the Nazarene. There was plenty of delicious food and the weather cooperated; the only thing lacking was patrons. Among those that did attend, a few reaped double reward when their names were drawn for door prizes given by local mer­ chants. Rita Miller was the lucky winner of a gift cer­ tificate from Maple Leaf Florist and Donna Ashcraft was the winner of a cer­ tificate given by Nashville Coin Laundry. In addition, there were four individual winners of pop furnished by the Marathon C-Store. Nash­ ville, Vermontville and Hastings merchants donated supplies and gifts for the event. Besides Maple Leaf Florist, Nashville Coin Laundry and the Marathon C-Store, other local benefactors were Carl’s Market; Village Inn Cafe; Steak House resstaurant; and Big George’s Party Store, all of Nashville; Johnny’s Market of Ver­ montville; and Eberhard’s; Chick *N Fin and Mc­ Donald’s, all of Hastings. Organizers of the dinner extend their thanks to these business people for their generous donations. Mrs. Azalia Spidel of Nashville was admitted to Pennock Hospital in Hastings last Monday and it is unclear at the time of this report how long she will remain there. Among other Nashville people still at Pennock Hospital are Elmer Curtis and Ray Morgenthaler, the latter fighting a bout of pneumonia. Richard Elliston of Nash­ ville, husband of village treasurer Lois Elliston, is still confined to the Intensive Care Unit at Leila Hospital, Battle Creek, after suffering a heart attack February 28 while working at the Kellogg Company. Please remember all the ill and shut-ins with cards, calls and prayers. Mrs. Sandra Hunt and daughter, Debbie, of Holt were recent weekend visitors of Mrs. Hunt’s mother, Mrs. Ruby Ball of Nashville. Also Sunday callers at the Ball home were son Robert and family of Nashville. Floyd Titmarsh, 81, a Nashville native and former local resident, died Wed­ nesday in Lansing. He had lived in that city the last few years with his daughter, Mrs. Marilyn Russell; His wife, the former Lillian Curtis, died in August 1976. The only other survivors are grandchildren. Services In addition to the very exacting demands of the art of embalming, the professional services of the funeral direc­ tor are of major importance. He must be a competent execu­ tive and administrator, able to handle all situations amid extreme mental and emotional chaos. He must always be sympathetic, understanding, capable and thorough, to re­ solve any confused situation into one of calm and reassur­ ance. FUNERAL di venous VOGT FUNERAL HOME IN NASHVILLE PHONE 852-0840 By Susan Hinckley at' Vogt were held Fri atailie Funeral Home A letter from __ 1, a Maple Valley News reaBer who lived here as a boy but now resides at Tucson, Arizona, commented in a letter last week about the aerial view of Nashville taken from the top of the Standpipe in 1898 and published in a recent Memories. story. “I have seen views of the countryside many times from the old Standpipe,” wrote Howell. “I used to borrow a strong pair of binoculars, I think they were 10 or 15 power, and we would to go up on top and let loose cigarette papers that would float on the breeze. Being light weight and white they could be seen for a long ways. I watched one that finally came down almost over to Vermontville. It just caught .the right currents and stayed aloft for a long time.” In connection with the 1898 view of Nashville, we wondered how many of our readers spotted a dark rectangular area on the ice just east of the Thornapple River bridge? We believe that the site had been cleared of snow for use as a skating rink. It was near that point that 21-year-old Irving Boston, a popular youth in the community and son of a prominent local family, drowned in 1894 trying to save a young skater named Clayton Barnes who plunged through the ice. Both perished, despite heroic efforts of passers-by to rescue them, and the village was overcome with a great sorrow at the tragedy. Tributes to Boston’s heroism poured into Nashville from near arid far, and he was accorded a hero’s burial at Lakeview Cemtery. Boston had been a volunteer fireman and employee of the Nashville.

One thing in the photo that caught the eye of Wayne Fuller, a former local resident now of Toledo, Ohio, was a feature of the windmill we had noted behind the Charles Putnam home (now Putnam Public Library).

The 63-59 defeat of league foe Vestaburg was a fitting climax for the pre-game festivities Valley gained control of the first quarter 14-10 hut struggled in the second period. Fouls plagued the Lions and the Wolverines gained the scoring ad­ vantage in the second quarter by hitting 15 of 19 free throws, their total for the night. The Lions began the second half by allowing their foes to score 12 points to Valley's 3. The Wolves held a 43-34 lead with 2:08 remaining. Then Valley scored the next 7 points and cut the advantage to two, 43­ 41, by the end of that period. The Lion momentum continued in the final quarter. Senior Jeff Beebe tied the game at 43-43 with 6:32 left in the period. Senior Walt Maurer put the Lions ahead 45-43 a minute later and Valley stayed in com­ mand until the final buzzer. Free throws were the key to the Valley victory. The Lions hit 13 in the second half while the visitors never made it to the charity stripe. Jeff Beebe netted 14 points for Valley, Walt Maurer added 12 and Mickey Mahon, 10. Valley ended the regular season 10-10 and landed a share of third place in the Tri-Central League with Portland.

Chamber “roasts The surprise event, sponsored by the local Chamber of Commerce, was arranged by David Mace, president of the organization, and Virginia Alles, sales representative for the Maple Valley News. “They told me I should roast Harold, and I thought they meant toast,” said Nelson Brumm, one of several speakers at the dinner. “There’s only one Christiansen (standing, right) was surprised when he entered the Steak House to find the crowd singing "For He's A Jolly Good Fellow." His wife, Jo (shown with him), was in on the secret; detained Harold at home until the last possible minute. Dave Mace (left) was the Toastmaster of the "roast." outgoing village president letter difference.” Brumm told of Christiansen’s activities in the local Lions Club and in the Nashville Syrup Association, which Christiansen heads. “Boiling sap late at night, you get to know a man,” said Brumm. Other “roasting” toasts were offered by Mace, who praised Christiansen’s ac­ tivities in the Chamber of Commerce and as fire­ tender at Nashville’s new Community Center; Sgt. Gene Koetje, acting police chief; Kenneth F. Meade, Jr., Nashville Boy Scout leader; and Bob Joseph, a member of the Nashville Lions Club. “Harold has given a lifetime of accomplishments everywhere he has lived,” noted Sgt. Koetje. Christiansen, who moved to Nashville from Hastings in 1952, has made a long list of contributions to the community. Besides his current presidential post which he has held since 1978, he also was Nashville’s president from 1968-70; has been ’an active member of the local Chamber of Commerce since 1958 and served as treasurer of the organization from 1959-64; has headed Nashville’s Syrup Association since 1967, commencing his 15th season as head of the NSA this spring; has been active in the Nashville Lions Club for nine years; xind has been actively involved in local Boy Scouts and Cub Scouts, having served as Scouting Committee Chairman, and overseeing the Scout’s paper and glass recycling operations. “I can’t begin to elaborate on the things Harold has done for the Scouts,” said Meade. “The Scouts want to extend hearty thanks and appreciation for the years of service he has given them.” In addition to all this, Christiansen has served as volunteer caretaker of Putnam Park since 1970 and for the past eleven years has spearheaded a project to replace Nashville’s dying maples with new saplings. For several years Christiansen carried on this project single-handedly, buying the young trees with wages he earned in the Syrup Association and setting out the saplings along village streets. Mace, who laughingly described Christiansen as “one of the syrup barons” of the NSA, said Harold’s service to the community has been “enormous.” A jug of imitation maple syrup was presented to Christiansen by Bob Joseph of Carl’s Market, as one of several “gag” gifts of ROAST, cont. on page 2 After the dinner, Christiansen chatted with his daughter, Joyce Skedgell. Heavy rain washes out area roads Friday night thundershowers melted a heavy accumulation of winter's snow in the Maple Valley area and caused problems Saturday morning for motorists and homeowners. The rising water washed away roadbeds and flooded basements. The Nashville Fire Dept, tanker was called to Coats Grove to pump out 6 to 7 feet of water from basements of two homes. On Thornapple Lake Road near Hagar Road, about two miles northeast of Nashville, the dangerous gully, trenched by rushing waters, created a serious traffic hazard. (Maple Valley News photo by Susan Hinckley) Bob Joseph of Carl's Market presented Harold with store-bought syrup to give Christiansen more time at home. �The Maple Valley News, Nashville, Tuesday, March 16, 1982—Page 2 Nashville N The ‘‘wearing o’ the Care Unit at Leila Hospital green” will be the order of in Battle Creek, as the result the day when Junior and of a heart attack he suffered Senior High youths gather at February 28 while at work at the Nashville Baptist Church the Kellogg Co. in that city.

The deer have been spotted most often at the crest of a hill which was clear of snow somewhat earlier than the surrounding lowlands. After our recent rain melted the balance of the snow, there were less sightings reported. Needless to say, the sight has been a real traffic-stopper along the busy highway, and some deer were seen dashing across M-66. Thundershowers and spring-like temperatures the end of last week brought flooded basements, eroded thoroughfares, and a promise of spring, which arrives officially Saturday. Meanwhile, mud and syrup­ making are the order of the day. An overflow crowd filled the auditorium of Nashville Baptist Church Sunday evening, march 7, for a revealing presentation by Mike Mills, minister of Youth Evangelism at the Family Altar Chapel of Battle Creek. With the use of slides, Mills demonstrated the evil messages that are placed in minds of rock music listeners in a number of ways. Satanic themes are incorporated into record jackets, the names of rock singing groups, and titles of their songs, he said. He also explained backwards masking — messages that are clearly discernible when ROAST, from front page evening. The store-bought syrup, said Joseph, would allow Christiansen to spend less time at the Sugar Shanty and more time at home with his wife, Jo. ‘‘And remember, this syrup only costs $14 a^gallon,” quipped Joseph. Christiansen, at /age 78, plans to step down as village president only. He has said he will continue his other community activities. “Most people (that age) retire and play golf,” commented Mace. “Most finda lotof other things to do besides community service and volunteerism.” In addition to Chamber members, village officials and speakers, special guests at the dinner included members of Christiansen’s family. They were his daughter and son-in-law, a record is played back­ wards. The turnout for Mills’ Sunday presentation in Nashville was so great that a busload of late arrivals from out-of-town had to be turned away for lack of seating space. Over. 1,000 persons were present at the event. Kelly Gould of Hastings was a weekend guest of her grandparents, Mary and M. Dewey Castelein, Jr., of Nashville. A Friday caller at the Castelein home was Neal DeVries of Lansing. , Sunday callers on Mr. and Mrs. Adrien Pufpaff of Nashville were his brother and sister-in-law, Al and Doris Pufpaff, and the lat­ ter’s brother, Floyd Brezee, all of Dowling; and Harold Pufpaff ■ and children, Shannon and Raymond of Nashville. Carl and Virginia Gasser of Battle Creek were Saturday visitors of her mother, Mrs. Esta Day of Nashville. A two-car accident on M-66 south of Nashville about 5 p.m. Friday resulted in minor injuries to one person. Jackie Gardner, a passenger in a car driven by her mother, Mrs. Terry Gard­ ner, was transported to Pennock Hospital by Nash­ ville ambulance.

MONDAY ■ SATURDAY Genovieva Sfatcu, age 30, who was exiled from Romania for her Christian activities, will speak at Heritage Hills Bible Church on Sunday, March 21 at 7 p.m. She was at one time a leader in the communist youth organization, Young Pioneers. Even though her father was a deacon in the Baptist church, as a child she had decided not to become a Christian because of the persecution and ex­ treme poverty suffered by all the Christians. However, while a student in the University of Iasi, the Lord spoke to her and she yielded her heart to Him. After Genovieva was caught helping Believers imprisoned in psychiatric hospitals, she was expelled from school and denied a job anywhere. Unable to support herself and in danger of being sentenced to labor camp, she decided to live, <and if necessary die, in the church building. During the 6% years she spent in the church, sleeping on a bench with a tablecloth for covers, she started a Sunday School and children’s choir, wrote many songs for children, and was a key contact for Bible­ smuggling groups from the West. On Feb. 25, April Morrison from the safety education department of the Automobile Club of Michigan presented a safety, training program at Kellogg Elementary School. The program was held for future students who will become our Nashville Safety Patrol. The Auto Club of Michigan is the sponsor of the safety patrol throughout the state. At the meeting, Howard Yost, principal, filed an application with the Auto Club for the new programi Present at the meeting were Chief of Police Gene Koetje and school transportation officer, .Gerald Aldrich. Teachers present were David Doozan and David Hustwick, who will serve as advisors to the program. The patrol is due to start as soon as materials and supplies arrive from the Auto Club. Many, times Genovieva was interrogated by the secret police In 1977, she was arrested and sentenced to psychiatric prison. She was spared from serving this sentence, however, by a devastating earthquake which struck Romania. After this, the authorities began asking, her to leave the country. When she refused, four attempts were made to kill her. After prayer and" at the urging of her family, she finally accepted a passport to come to the U.S. Genovieva now lives in Holmes County, Ohio and is working full-time for Christian Aid For Romania, an organization established to help the persecuted Christians in her country. The people of Heritage Hills Bible Church invite everyone to come and fellowship with them and to hear this inspiring young lady tell about the. per­ secuted church in Romania.

These tiny set­ tlements may now be all but forgotten, but in the first quarter of this century they were well-known to readers of the Nashville News (a forerunner of the Maple Valley News). Items of interest from numerous neighboring localities became a regular weekly feature of the News, which in those days carried a higher ratio of social and personal items than “hard” news stories. In the correspondents’ columns were the traditional reports of visits and trips; recent callers; moves and new jobs; meetings; illnesses; births, deaths and funerals. Comments also were common on the state of the weather; seasonal ■farming conditions; who might be building a new barn, having an auction sale, driving a new “tin Lizzy” or installing a new telephone. When Orno Strong, a spirted, slender 19-year-old from Lawton, founded the Nashville News in 1873, he had only 63 subscribers. By 1880, he had built the cir­ culation of his newspaer to 1,248 and it was still growing. “Locals” were an important part of that early paper, but social and personal news items, from within the village and without, really reached a peak under the direction of editor-publisher Len Feighner, who pur­ chased the paper from Strong in 1888 and retained ownership for the next 40 years. Writers of the “locals” were various individuals in the community. Other scribes living in outlying districts reported activities of rural residents.

These small sums, rarely more than a dollar or two, appear to have been compensation for special reports she wrote on wed­ dings, obituaries, etc. The News office kept Mrs. Taylor supplied with lead pencils and paper. She generally dropped off her items at the News office on Maple Street and mailed other reports to weekly papers in Vermontville and Charlotte, and occasionally sent a special story to the Grand Rapids Press. Postal service also was the mode of delivery of rural social items published by the Nashville News. The reports came into the News office Country Letters published in Nashville News in the first quarter of the 20th from an area stretching to the Sunfield-Woodbury century covered nearly a 300-square mile area ranging from Sunfield to Assyria, from Vermontville to Hastings.

His two faithful helpers,. Nelson Brumm and Earl Hose, handled the straining and canning chores. “Who’s going to do this when we’re gone?” asked Brumm jokingly. The question, however, sparked serious speculation among the three men. Christiansen said that younger people don’t seem to be interested in learning the boiling operation. “We’ve got to have somebody learn it,” he added. “It can’t be learned in just one season.” The time-consuming process of turning gallons of watery sap into golden rich maple syrup is a learned art and it takes time to become familiar with all the in­ tricacies of the process. About 900 trees w.ere tapped this season in the NSA project, with the bulk Of that work being done by Nashville’s Boy Scout Troop No. 177. Christiansen had high.praise for the work done by those lads. He said few organizations in the past have shown such dedication to the task as have the Boy Scouts, who also have the responsibility of collecting the sap and delivering it to the Sugar Shanty for processing. The Boy Scouts also handled the task last year. “It’s been a good money­ maker for them,” noted Christiansen. Each season, proceeds of Will Nashville’s 40-year- worries 78-year-old Harold old community syrup project Christiansen, who has been die in years to come due to one of the mainstays of the lack of interest now by the Nashville Syrup Association, younger people in the an organization' he has community to learn the headed since 1967. As steam billowed from boiling operation? That question puzzles and the Sugar Shanty in Putnam Nelson Brumm fills the containers with freshly-boiled syrup at the canning tank. The nectar is strained three times in the process of converting sap to golden maple syrup, with the final straining in the cloth-filtered can­ ning tank.

He hopes younger men will want to learn the operation to assure continuance of the 40-year-old civic project. the syrup project are divided among participating volunteers representing various organizations, with “wages” based on manhours each donates to the jobs of washing buckets, tapping trees, collecting and hauling sap, boiling, canning syrup, etc. Nashville’s civic sugar bush originally was tapped in 1942 at the urging of Len Feighner, then past 80 and a former 40-year owner of the Nashville News, a continuously published forerunner of the Maple Valley News. Editor Feighner had pushed for the tapping of Nashville’s giant sugar maples as early as World War I, when sugar was scarce and expensive. When the second World War rolled around bringing another* threatened sugar shortage, Feighner again repeated his advice and this time Nash­ ville listened. In a community endeavor spearheaded by a committee of the Nashville Develop­ ment Association, local citizens joined forces to reap the natural sweetener from nearly a thousand village maples. That first season syrup sold for $2.50 a gallon and the project netted $250, most of which was used to buy a jungle gym for the school playground. Each succeeding year saw gradual improvement in Nashville’s syrup-making project as new equipment was acquired and skills perfected. In time, the committee set up boiling operations in the old pump house at Putnam Park. In 1957, a. new cement block Sugar Shanty was built nearby and wood-fired evaporators were converted to gas some ten years later. Now, Nashville syrup is produced under direction of the Nashville Syrup Association and will sell in 1982 for $19 a gallon. Before boiling commenced Friday, 22 gallons had been made at the Shanty — a slow season so far,'compared to last year when some 1,300 gallons were produced by the NSA. Christiansen said 1,800 gallons of sap had been collected through Thursday last week. It requires ap­ proximately 40 gallons of sap to make one gallon of syrup. Sap has been running slowly, but Christiansen predicted that- a thun­ dershower or heavy, wet snow would help. “The sap will always run in a heavy, wet snow,” said.. Christiansen. “In a cold wind, it will stop running.” Ideal conditions are thawing daytime tem- peratures and freezing nights. By law, syrup must weigh 11 pounds per gallon, but the NSA exceeds that requirement. NSA syrup is packaged in various sized containers ranging from half-pints to gallons. It is available at the Sugar Shanty, where visitors are welcome to wach the boiling operation, and at three other locations in Nashville: SNB Bank & Trust, Mace Pharmacy, and Carl’s Market-.

PATRICK SET A GOOD EXAMPLE FOR ALL OF US A journey amounting to the distance from England to Ireland would be quite routine for most of us in this age of modern transportation and relative security. Therefore, we can only imagine the risks and hardships to which St. Patrick was subjected when he traveled to Ireland for the purpose of introducing Christianity to its inhabitants, but we can realize that the importance of his mission over­ shadowed any concern for his own safety. How much easier it would be for us to follow his fine example today, and not only go to Church ourselves but try to persuade others to do likewise!

Howard also reported that a reservation has been sent along with a $50 deposit to the Long Lake Camp, Yankee Springs Recreational Area, for September 20 through 24 regarding the sixth grade camping program. Approval was given the second and fifth graders to go on a field trip sponsored by Impression Five in Lansing. This trip will be paid in full by federal funds. Also, approval was given a field trip allowing the students in the eleventh grade to attend the Career Education Day in Lansing which will be held in May. The cost of this field trip is covered by career education funds received through intermediate school district and state department of education. Approval was given to repair the bleachers at the Fuller Street athletic field at a cost of $1,600 per the low bid submitted by F and S Excavating, with payment to be made from ,the athletic fund account which is part of the activity accounting funds. Voting in favor on the second vote were: Ron Tobias, Dale Ossenheimer, Jr., Robert Dormer, and Elam Rockwell. Voting nay were Charles Viele, Sr., Virginia Fox and Wayne Cogswell. The general discussion indicated agreement that the bleachers should be repaired. The discussion centered around whether the repair work should be paid for out of the old athletic account or be paid from the general fund. The first vote was four to three not to pay the cost out of the athletic account. Superintendent Carroll Wolff reported the financial cash flow shortage which should develop considering delays in receiving state aid funds. The State Department of Education has informed school districts that the April state aid payment will be split with one-half payment on April 20 and the remainder on May 3.

Nashville Tuesday March 16. 1982 — Page 12 Nashville budget includes pay hikes and funds for pave streets by Susan Hinckley Nashville is cirrently in good fiscal shape, said Trustee John Hughes Thursday as he presented a $600,497 proposed budget for the village's 1982 fiscal year. Hughes, head of the council’s Finance Committee responsible for working out the new spen­ ding plan, will take over April 1 as village president. The plan finally was adopted by the council Thursday, but it took three votes, including two ties that had to be broken by Village President Harold Christiansen. “This is not an exorbitant budget,” said Hughes. “We've tried to be as con­ servative as we could on (projected) revenues.” The major differences of opinion of council members centered on a proposed $6,000 allocation of $26,787 in revenue sharing funds. The first plan submitted by the Finance Committee called for the $6,000 to be used for construction of a garage adjacent to Village Hall to house the police cruiser and store village records which currently are held in the basement of the hall. Officials say the records are rapidly deteriorating because of moisture in the basement. The majority of the council Thursday, however, on the third and final vote, favored adding the $6,000 to other village funds earmarked for paving local streets. “With the additional $6,000, pretty nearly every (unpaved) street in town could be matted or seal coated,” said Trustee Robert Fueri, Jr. “People in the east end of town have been waiting a long lime for that.” In the adopted budget, council allocated the revenue sharing funds: $1,400 to the Nashville-based ambulance service; $2,500 to Putnam Public Library; $16,887 to major street construction; and $6,000 to .local street construction. Of the total approved budget, $245,743 was allocated to General Fund, with $110,984 of that amount designated for general government expenditures. Operation of Nashville’s police department is ex­ pected to cost $63,216 for the fiscal year which will end February 26, 1983, .and it is anticipated that $55,056 will be spent on locally ad­ ministered streets. report from - ERNEST NASH State Representative GOVERNOR’S MESSAGE Governor Milliken went before the people of Michigan last week to ask for a .7 per­ cent increase in the state income tax. He also requested that the Legislature cut at least $450 millfon from the current budget, and he proposed that state employees forego a 5 percent salary increase. My colleagues and I intend to study the Governor’s plan to see if further cuts can be made to avoid a lax increase. I also want to hear from my con­ stituents on this issue. MICHIGAN RANKS FIRST IN FEDERAL AID FOR TRAINING - The State of Michigan will receive $4.6 million from the federal government for training, job search and other services for workers who have lost their jobs due to foreign trade. Some 12,000 auto and steel workers will be targeted for relief in Michigan through the Trade Readjustment Act (TRA). MICHIGAN FARM OUTLOOK GRIM - A special Republican task force on agriculture is trying to solve the financial dilemma facing many Michigan farmers. Loan delinquencies, foreclosures, and bankruptcies among farmers are at an all time high, causing concern in the Legislature as well as in agricultural circles. Farming and agriculture-related, services are Michigan’s number two industry after automotive production, and has long been a stablizing force in Michigan’s economy. ’TIS THE SEASON - Making matters even worse, the flu season is i upon us. This year’s strain is a type B Singapore influenza virus. Type B viruses are much milder than the type A strain that has hit hard in Michigan in the past. The new flu features symptoms that include a cough, runny nose, sore throat and other cold-like aches and pains. While this year’s flu bug is relatively easy to cope with, parents are once again reminded to watch out for Reye’s Syndrome symptoms in their children during their flu recovery period. NO PARKING - Motorists have not been heeding warnings about parking in handicapped-designated areas, so the stakes have grown a little higher. Currently, fines for parking in those areas by people who do not have valid handicapper identifcation receive fines anywhere from $2 to $100. Because many motorists would rather pay the $2 than look for another spot, a mandatory $26 fine has been ap­ proved by both the House and Senate. SPRING IS HERE! - Nobody believes it, but the spring season is just about here and not a crocus can be found anywhere. However, some parts of the state are still celebrating winter. St. Uhro’s Day Celebration will be held in Wakefield on March 16, Michigan’s Irish, which usually includes everyone, will celebrate. St. Patrick’s Day on March 17, and a Spring Carnival will be held March 20-21 at Crystal Mountain in Thompsonville. If that doesn’t excite you, buy a seed catalogue and start planning this year’s garden. Spring is here, after all. Included in the new budget were pay increases of 25 cents per hour for each of the village’s six employees. Also approved was a maxiumum 36 cents per hour cost-ofliving allowance. Two elected officials received pay hikes which will be in effect for two years arid cannot be raised again until 1984. The clerk’s annual salary was increased from $9,500 to $$11,500 and the treasurer’s salary was raised from $1,500 to $2,000 per year. The salary for village assessor was decreased from $1,000 to $500 annually. In other business Thur­ sday, the village council: — Approved hiring Richard Wendt of Grand Rapids as village attorney. Wendt specializes in municipal law and has handled several specific projects for Nashville in the past year. — Heard a brief report by Charles Leonard of Spec­ trum Communications on progress of the cable TV project in Nashville, Leonard said mapping currentlyis underway and construction is expected to start in about 60 days. He said his firm has received numerous inquiries from job-seekers and the company plans to hire 7 to 10 installers from the Nashville, Mid­ dleville and Delton areas, all localities where -the cable firm is or will be serving. — Tabled a proposal by Trustees John Hughes and Carl Tobias to clear dead and dying timber from the village’s wastewater treatment site on a threequarter share basis, with 25 percent of the wood being delivered to the Community Center building for use in the fireplace there. After inquiries from audience members who said they also wanted an opportunity to cut wood on the village-owned properly, President Christiansen appointed a council committee of Forrest Babcock, Linda Frith and Calvin Rizor to study the situation and make a recommendation, The proposal by Hughes and Tobias said they would provide their own liability insurance andasked for a village respresenlative to mark the trees to be cut. — Voted to secure an appropriate place to store village records to get them out of the basement of Village Hall. A potluck dinner was part of the program. Vermontville brownies father-daughter banquet Three troops of Vermontville Brownies gathered Sat­ urday for their annual father-daughter banquet. - (Photos by Vermontville Lions Club) Three Vermontville Brownie troops held their annual Father-Daughter Banquet together last Saturday at the First Congregational Church.

Jami Mischler gave a reading at the banquet. Sen. Allen to announce candidacy March 30 State Senator Dick Allen announced today that he will decide by March 30 whether to again run for Congress in the 10th District or to seek reelection to the Senate in his central Michigan district. Allen served two terms in the Michigan House of Representatives and has been in the Michigan Senate since 1974. In 1980, in a hotly contested, heavily publicized race, he received 47.3 per-• cent of the vote as the Republican challenger to the 10th District incumbent congressman Don Albosta. While district lines have not been settled for either congressional or legislative districts at this time, Allen says he will make a final choice by March 30 and not turn back. “Further delay of ap­ 4-H Dairy workshop set portionment decisions' is an A countywide dairy embarrassment to the workshop will be held on Senate and a hinderance to Monday, March 22 beginning good government,’’ said at 8 p.m. in Kardel Hall on Allen. “But I’ve decided' I cannot use this as an excuse the Charlotte Fairgrounds.

And if I run for Senate, the Republican party need to find one or more good candidates to challenge the incumbent congressman.” Allen went on to say that to reverse a decision and run for the other office after encouraging other candidates would be a “breach of trust”, “if the lines get drawn against me, life on the farm isn’t that/bad!” said Allen who lives on a family centennial farm near Ithaca. Allen- encourages friends and supporters to give him their advice claiming that the decision is completely open at this time.. “In recent years, congressional challengers in Michigan who received over 45 percent on their first try, have won on their second effort. Our country is facing up to the need to reduce federal budgets and regulations and I’d like to be there to help! “On the other hand, no state faces tougher decisions than Michigan. My experience and standing in the Michigan Senate put me in a position to play an important role in solving our problems. .It’s tempting to stay right where I am.” With both U.S. House and legislative districts being redrawn following the 10­ year census, and with members of both bodies up for election this year, Michigan faces an unusually active political year. Allen’s March 30th announcement will clarify part of, the confusion in the central­ northern partof the State.

A It's syrup season— by Mona Ellard, Ext. Home Economist The first signs of spring can perk up even the dullest day, when the sun starts setting later and the days begin getting warmer. And warm days with freezing nights are good for one of Michigan’s agricultural crops — maple syrup. It is this type of weather which makes sap run and makes possible delicious Michigan maple syrup for topping hot pancakes or waffles, making rich maple candy and glazing your favorite meat dish. For an added treat, try maple barbecued spareribs. Just substitute maple syrup for sugar in your favorite recipe by using one and onehalf cups syrup for each cup of granulated sugar. Baked goods made with maple syrup should be baked 25 degrees lower than the same recipes using sugar. Be sure to add one-quarter teaspoon soda for each cup of maple syrup and cut down any liquids by one-half where sugar is eliminated. Michigan produced 91,000 gallons of syrup last year, making it the sixth highest production state in the nation. Only pure, boiled down sap weighing at least 11 pounds per gallon may use a maple syrup label. Syrups may legally be sold as mixtures of maple and other syrups, but the law requires these to be labeled showing the per­ centages. They must Ke labeled either imitation maple syrup or mapleflavored syrup. To make one gallon of maple syrup, about 40 to 50 gallons of sap must be collected." Holes are drilled into a maple tree and a ‘spile’, allowing the sap to flow into a bucket or tubing, is placed in the hole. Each tap will yield 15 to 20 gallons of sap during a season, depending on the size of the tree. Larger trees will ac­ commodate two or more buckets. If this article has really got your mouth watering for good, sweet maple syrup, mark these dates down.

Waters reached their peak level about late Tuesday or early Wednesday. Although many homes downstream at Thornapple Lake were flooded, the problem in Nashville was minimal compared with April 1975 when community volunteers diked the river dam with sandbags to. slow the destructive flow. This year’s peak crested at about 10 inches below the highwater mark of the 1975 flood. Well over 100 homes downstream, primarily in the Quimby area and around Thornapple Lake, had to be evacuated last week. A total of approximately 250 residences were affected by the rising waters. Temporary shelters to house and feed evacuees were set up at the Quimby United Methodist Church and in Hastings. Qne of the families forced to evacuate their home at Thornapple Lake was that of Bob Joseph of Carl’s Market, Nashville. Several feet of water entered the Joseph home, but the extent of Continued on page 3 The former De Witt home near the Thornapple River dam in Nashville appeared Wednesday to float in a sea of rising water.

(Maple Valley News photos by Susan Hinckley) Vermontville residents welcome doctor By Susan Hinckley Vermontville residents turned out Thursday evening to welcome a new doctor, the first physician to serve the community in a number of years. He is Dr. James D. Balger of Charlotte, who will be opening a family practice clinic in April in the Peabody residence at 125 W. Main Street. Dr. Balger currently has offices at 210 N. Oliver St. in the Physicians Office Building in Charlotte and is on the staff at Hayes-GreenBeach Memorial Hospital in that city. A 1975 graduate of Eastern Michigan University with a degree in physics, Balger graduated in 1979 from the Vermontville turned out Thursday evening to welcome Dr. James Balger (holding daughter Abbey) and wife. Sue, to the community. With the Balgers are Homer Winegar, who was instrumental in securing the doctor for Vermontville, and Bill Mason (right), village president. The Balger family includes son Michael, 7 mos. ■' " ‘ . i College of Osteopathic Medicine at Michigan State University. The open house Thursday evening at the Griswold Room of the First Congregation Church was sponsored by Vermontville’s Chamber of Commerce, Refreshments included a special cake baked by Mrs. Norma Viele of Ver­ montville. floral arrangements were fur­ nished by Maple Leaf Florist of Nashville. Vermontville Village President Bill Mason in­ troduced Dr. Balger and his wife, Sue, to the audience. The family also includes daughter Abbey, 2*£ years, and son Michael, seven months. Mason credits others with being instrumental in bringing the new doctor to Vermontville. “Homer Winegar deserves most of the credit,”, said Mason, “as well as Steve Mapes (administrator of Hayes-Green-Beach Hospital).” Dr. Balger’s office hours in Vermontville will be from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. Tuesdays and Fridays. Dr. and Mrs. Balger admire the cake made for the occasion by Norma Viele. Floral arrangements for the event at the Griswold Room of the First Congregational Church were furnished by Maple Leaf Florist, Nashville. With the Balgers is daughter Abbey. �The Maple Valley News. Nashville, Tuesday, March 23. 1982 — Page 2 Nashville News One year ago this week, Nashville was thrust into the national limelight by a March 25, 1981 Tax Revolt. Village storekeepers and business owners closed up shop for the day and took to Main Street in protest of property tax hikes ranging to 90 percent or more over the previous year’s assessments. Patriots’ tri­ corn hats and black-ribboned tea bags worn on lapels were costumes of the day for merchants as well, as sympathetic townspeople who joined in the demon­ stration. Marches and speeches filled the agenda. The whole affair attracted national news media. The strike was aired by ABC’s “Good Morning, America”, and mentioned on NBC’s “Today” show. No less than nine Michigan TV stations were on hand for live broadcasts or tapings of the action. Countless radio stations, national wire services and major state newspapers also sent reporters to the scene. Photos and stories of the event appeared in papers across the country. Masterminded by local businessman Ahmo Jordan, Nashville’s Tax Revolt was rated a success when the tax assessments in questions were subsequently reduced approximately 45 percent. This week, Nashville will again be in the national spotlight, but in a somewhat milder manner. The up- coming attention is due to local buggy maker Herb Andier. One of Andler’s handcrafted Justin Sportabout buggies has been selected as a prize to be offered on “The Price is Right”? a CBS game show production with a viewing audience estimated at 8,500,000. The Friday, March 26 program on which the buggy will be shown will be aired locally at 11 a.m. on channels 3, 6, 9 and 22. The hour-long program appears weekdays, Monday through Friday, on 188 stations coast to coast. Andier has learned from CBS officials that the audience will hear a 10second description of the buggy, see a full screen view of it and a closeup of the Justin Carriage Company logo. In keeping with all the focus on Nashville, Friday, March 26, also marks the 113th birthday of the village. It was on that date in 1869 that Henry P. Baldwin, Governor of Michigan, signed the Act of In­ corporation officially creating the Village of Nash­ ville. This came about 15 years after the first white settlers put down roots here on the north banks of the Thornapple River. Max and Lynn Kelley, proprietors of Kelley’s Variety Store in Nashville, surprised two of their em­ ployees last Monday with a dessert table in honor of their birthdays.

Helping to prepare the surprise buffet were Darlene Hughes of Mirror’s Image and Eva Hampton. In addition to this delightful surprise, Judy and Pat were photographed by Don Nelson of the Battle Creek Enquirer and News and featured in a Main Street, Michigan repbrt by Regional Editor Bill Miller. The article. appeared in Sunday’s paper. The reporter and photographer also made stops at the Village Inn Cafe, the Chit Chat Club, the VFW Post (bingo game) and the Sugar Shanty in Putnam Park. Other local folks featured in the photo layout, in additon to Judy and Pat, were Fern Staup, Harold Christiansen, Earl Hose, Eva Hampton, Floyd White, Merle Burd, Jerry Sho,up and Hubert Lathrop. Spring 'arrived officially Saturday with a light sprinkling of snow, which soon dissipated when tem­ peratures here rose to near 40 degrees. Due to incomplete in­ formation furnished us, last week’s report on the up­ coming April 7 Lenten Breakfast of the Nashville United Methodist Women bears correction. Invited to the 7 a.m. event at the Community House are woinen from eleven area churches, including all of those in Nashville and Vermontville, plus Barryville and Gresham. Speaker for the occasion will be Mrs. Edna May Dickinson, retired a missionary from the Free Methodist of Church Hastings. Mr. and Mrs. Clarence (Margaret) Reid of Nash­ ville had dinner at Bill Knapps restaurant to honor her March 4th birthday, and the following day were supper guests of Bernard and Barbara Linsley of near Kalamo. The next day, Mrs. Jean Withey of Kalamo baked a birthday cake for Margaret and callers were Vaughn Reid; Jerry Reid; Diana Stephens, David and Ricky ; Debbie Seegar, Jason and Phillip; Arden and Sue Reid, Mindy, Arnie, Erica and Jennifer Reid, all local. On March 13, the Clarence Reids went shopping in Lansing with Mr.' and Mrs. Darrel Reid and sons, Sherm and Matt, of near Kalamo, then were guests of the Darrel Reids at the Sveden House for a dinner in honor of Margaret’s birthday. Later, they called on Mr. and Mrs. Vernon Reid and children of rural Ver­ montville, who had just returned from a 3-weeks trip to Texas to visit Vernon’s sister and family, Anetta and David Tredinnick and children, and also stopped in Kansas to see other relation. Last Wednesday, the Clarence Reids accompanied her parents,' the Vern Robinsons of Bellevue, to a Senior Citizens dinner at the high school there. Following the meal, students presented an enjoyable program called the “Bellevue Follies”. Condolences are extended to the family of Sharon Lee Phillips, 25, who died Tuesday at Sparrow Hospital in Lansing, where she had been admitted Sunday af­ ternoon. Local survivors of Miss Phillips include her mother, Mrs.Virginia Bolton, and brothers, Richard, Allen and Neal Phillips, all of Nashville. Her father, Lloyd Phillips, lives at Shreveport, La. Services were held Friday at the ■Nashville Church of the Nazarene, where Sharon was a member and sang in the church choir. Several in our community knew Mrs. ’’Robert (Bernadine) Powell of Dowling, the rural mail carrier who perished Thursday in the rushing waters of Mud Creek on Bird Road in Johnstown Township, about three miles southeast of Dowling. Mrs. Powell was on her mail delivery route when her car plunged off the road into the creek. She apparently escaped the auto out was swept by the current through a 3-foot culvert under the roadways Her body was discovered at the edge of the stream, some 60 feet west of the road. Mrs. Powell had been a regularjoute carrier at the Dowling Post Office since 1975. A patron on her route reports that Thursday was Mrs. Powell’s first day back on the job after a twoweek vacation trip through the south. Mrs. Powell is the daughter of Mrs. Marie Hazen and the late Clarence Hazen, who lived south of Nashville in the renovated former Ellis School. In addition to her- mother, Mrs. Powell is survived by her husband, a daughter, and two grandchildren. Services were scheduled for Monday at Vogt Funeral Home, Nashville. Viv Conner of Nashville was named top weekly weight loss winner when God’s No-Munch Bunch met Monday for their weekly weigh-in at the Nashville Baptist Church. She lost 3 lbs. in one week to earn the title. Hudson Demming, Circuit Court judge for Barry and Eaton counties, was the featured speaker at a meeting last Monday evening of the Nashville Lions Club. The Ladies’ Night dinner at the United Methodist Community House was served by women of the church. Demming spoke on the workings of the court system and on sentencing. Also at Monday’s meeting, Lion Phil Howard installed two new members: Earl Pennock and Don Carroll. Several senior citizens from the Nashville Nutrition Site enjoyed a St. Patrick’s party held Tuesday at the Council On Aging center in Hastings. Also joining the Hastings seniors were several from the Woodland and Delton dinner sites. A typically Irish meal of corned beef, cooked cabbage All bonds, including U.S. Savings Bonds, issued in the sole name of the deceased may require probate, depending upon the amount, the heirs, and the total assets involved. Bonds issued in the deceased1s name and/or a named survivor can often be transferred to the named survivor upon receipt of a certified copy of the death certificate.

Guy Howell, a former local resident now of Tucson, Arizona, wrote last week to comment on several recent Memories stories and photos. Of the “aerial” picture of Nashville taken in 1898 from atop the standpipe, Howell wrote of our follow­ up comment about the cleared rectangular area visible on the ice of the millpond, east of the Thornapple River bridge. “That is where we all skated when we were young,” noted Howell. “We would get out there and work like Trojans shoveling the snow off the ice so we could skate. Lots of times we would leave a few snow piles around to set lanterns on at night and we would skate until 9 or 9:30 p.m.” Howell said he continued believes their skating area may have been a little fur­ ther north than the one shown in the photo, nearer the north bank of the river. The Memories story of early logging in this area also prompted a recollection by Guy Howell. “I remember that Kenneth Dean and I used to contract with farmers to,cut wood on shares. It wasn’t logging but cutting stovewood. We would go out in the woods, driving his Dad’s Model T, and at noon we would put our sandwiches on the head of the engine and run it a while to warm them. We had thermoses of hot coffee, so we'had a hot meal.” Howell also recalled the Try-Me Bottling Works, subject of another recent Memories account. “We kids would wait for bottles that missed being capped,” commented Howell in remembering his visits to the plant on South Main Street. He said the men at the plant gave those bottles of pop to the youngsters to drink.

In an interview published in the Nashville News on October 7, 1926, Thomas Purkey recalled how the village appeared to him in the year 1859 at age 13: “At that early date, Nashville did not exist, our present Main Street was not so much as a cow path. There were no stores here, only an old saw mill on the north side of the river and a blacksmith shop.” Purkey recalled that the place at the time was known as Hanchett’s Mills. (Ob­ viously in honor of miller Charles Hanchett or his partner. Charles, a mill builder by trade, had con­ verted a crude sawmill operation on the west side of the river into a grist mill in which he and Hirman Hanchett had an interest along with the Feighner brothers: Henry, Solomon and William.) “All the land south of the river was then a solid woods, consisting mostly of beech and maple, with some ash and cherry,” recalled Purkey of those early years, After he grew to manhood, Purkey became a stone mason by trade and is credited with much of the fine brick and stone work still visible in many Nash­ ville buildings, including the Methodist Church; the Open a new IRA this month and the 2% bonus is yours for one full year.

Both Tom Purkey and Emanuel Feighner, who grew up to become .proprietor of a photographic studio and successful real estate broker, had the privilege of watching Nash­ ville emerge from the primeval forest state into a beautiful little village. George B. Gregg, an 1854 settler in Castleton Town­ ship, Section 13, became the driving force behind that evolvement. An engineer and former government surveyor, Gregg was somewhat of a patriarch with 13 children. “He had visions of assembling his entire baker’s dozen of children on the banks of the Thor­ napple,” wrote his great granddaughter Ethel Parrish Stansell in March 17, 1955, piece in the Nashville News. In the 1850s, all the land within the present corporate limits of Nashville and much beyond was owned by a group ofspeculators who had acquired the land as early as 1846. The property, however, did not sell. In fact, a federal government land office inspector toured the site and labeled it “a land of swamps, sinkholes, Indians and wild beasts, totally unfit for man or beast.” George Gregg moved in at just the right psychological moment, observed his great granddaughter. Wrote Mrs. Stansell: “He not only came and saw, but seeing he could envision the possibilities of the site.” With his son Robert, George Gregg began to buy, sell and trade properties until the family owned all the land from the Thornapple River to approximately Quaker Brook, from Main Street through to Queen. By the time the Civil War started in 1861, the Greggs owned the bulk of the village with the exception of a few isolated parcels. Now, the community needed an official name. In his 1926 interview, Thomas Purkey told how the village dame to be named Nashville. It was during the building of the Grand River Valley Railroad through the town. Civil engineers Ben Jackson and Garadus Nash were working along the line and boarding at the home of Robert Gregg, a brother-in­ law to Purkey. One Sunday, Tom had occasion to visit his brother­ in-law. At the time, there was present at the Gregg home, besides Jackson and A grist.mill on the west side of the Thornapple (at the south end of present-day Bridge St.) was one of the early structures in the new settlement dubbed "Forest City" or "Hanchett’s Mill" in the 1850s, when the Feighner, Purkey and Gregg families arrived. A crude woodwood­ en bridge, considerably downstream from the present span, ran roughly parallel to a primitive sand-and-brush dam and led to pioneer cabins on the north bank of the river. Built in 1863 by Nashville patriarch George Gregg as a home for his son Robert, this house played a key role in the naming of Nashville. It was here that Garadus Nash, civil engeineer for the Grand River Valley Rail­ road, boarded while the rail line was being built. It was from this residence that Nash and four other merr de­ parted one Sunday for a walk to the river where an his­ toric decision was made. Nash, two other local men: John Webster, a blacksmith, and Eli Mallett, who ac­ cording to early records was a miller. The men decided to go down the river and Tom accompanied them. During the little jaunt, the question of a proper and fitting name for the village arose. , “The first name suggested was that of Johnstown,” remembered Purkey, “and the second was Greggville.” Finally, Nash exclaimed, “Why not call it Nashville?” Tom distinctly recalled the remark his brother-in-law, Robert Gregg, made at this last suggestion: “By jimminy pelts, that’s what it shall be.” And Nashville it is. Mrs. Stansell, to whom Robert Gregg was a greatuncle, recalled a similar version of the story in he 1955 report. According to her, in the conversation that en- sued, Nash said to Robert Gregg, “Gregg, if you will call your town after me — Nashville — I’ll draw up your first plats.” Mrs. Stansell claims that Tom Purkey then said to Gregg, “How about it; does that suit you?” and received this reply: “It’s as good a name as any. We have a railroad and a station, we are to have a post office, and so we must have a name.” Mrs. Stansell concluded, “And that is the documented evidence of how the town was named.” Of course, since Purkey was one of the principals, his version may be considered Maple Valley Athletic Boosters BINGO MAPLE VALLEY HIGH SCHOOL CAFETERIA THURSDAYS... 7:00 p.m. Early Birds ... 6:30p.m. Irene’s Beauty Shop 204 N.

As for Nash, GRVRR’s chief .engineer on the local line, there are still con­ flicting reports of why he failed to keep his promise. He did not prepare the plats; the Greggs assumed responsibility for that task. Mrs. Stansell claims Nash was transferred to another state and was therefore unable to fulfill his obligation. Another account is less flattering. It said that when Nash returned here in the spring of 1866, he found scarcely a dozen families living in the village and left in disgust. Whether or not this report is true, it is known that GRVRR lines built through this section caused real estate values to jump, and by Mark O'Brien named os National Merit finalist Earlier this fall it was Mrs. Dorothy (Peake) Peery reported that Maple Valley Mrs. Dorothy (Peake) Peery, 37, of Baldwin, for­ had four students awarded honors from the National merly of Delton, died Merit Corporation.

Rebecca, a junior at Maple Valley High School, enjoys hobbies of reading, swim­ ming, softball, canoing, biking, hiking, and watching sports. Her experience in making syrup stems from pitching in to help the Nashville Boy Scouts in their project. She says her father was Scout­ master for five years and the troop was responsible for tapping trees and collecting sap throughout that village. The scouts “were often shorthanded, so I volun­ teered my services. Along with collecting sap, I spent time in the sugar shanty, observing the process of syrup making, and of course, sampling the finished product,” Rebecca said. Rebecca and the rest of the court, along with Queen Beth Heald, will be introduced during the coronation ceremony at Vermontville’s Maple Syrup Festival, scheduled' for the last weekend in April.

The junior and senior bands recently performed at district festivals - at Stock­ bridge and Okemos and brought home the highest collective ratings in several years. On March 6, the junior band performed “Golden Crown”, “Prelude and March”, and “Little Scotch Suite” in Concert and two selections in sightreading to receive a second division excellent rating. On March 20, the senior band performed “Golden Gate”, “Prelude and Fugue in D Minor” and “Overture for Winds” in concert and two selections in sightreading to receive a second division - excellent rating. The senior band was commended for being a fine looking, well-disciplined, nicely uniformed, large band. Both bands received high grades in tone and intonation and many excellent com­ ments concerning the bands’ improvement over past performances and and the generally excellent progress being made. -The junior band received one first division, and the senior band received overall B+’s from three of the four judges. Duane Thatcher is the band director. He started teaching band at Maple Valley last fall. Pen pal fun at Fuller School Receiving mail is fun especially if it’s from pen pals from a different region in the United States. Last week the students in Mrs. Gertie Long’s class received replies from their Arizona pen pals. The students in Mrs. Janice (Fleming) Stooks’ fourth grade class in Casa Grande, Arizona an­ swered many of the questions about their families, friends and school. The main topic discussed, however, was the difference in weather with ifiany Arizona students wishing for snow and the Nashville students hoping for warm and sunny weather. Mrs. Stooks’, a former MapleValley graduate, lives in Casa Grande, Arizona with her husband, Allen, a Nashville graduate who is now a prosecuting attorney, and their two sons. Alumni basketball tourney planned There will be an alumni basketball tournament held at Maple Valley Jr.-Sr. High School on March 19 and 20. All participants must have graduated from Maple Valley but need not to have lettered in basketball. Participants are to play with the class that they graduated with. If there is not enough players in that year to comprise a team, you may drop back to the preceding year. For example, if you graduated in 1971, you should play with the members of that class. If there are not sufficient members, you may play with the class of 1970. This may only be done, however, with the permission of the tour­ nament director, Larry Filter. Teams that are interested should contact Larry Filter, Jerry Reese, Merel Martin or Larry Lenz. Teams interested should make contact no later than Wednesday. The reason teams will be drawn to play against one another and times given to play. Lion Jeff Beebe (24) is shown grabbing a rebound in action earlier this year.

We collected firewood in the afternoon and everyone provided their own supper. The night was clear and Mr. Tom Catsul came from Hastings to show us where to find the three planets that were aligned on the same side of the sun for a time. He brought his telescope and showed us stars and let us view the moon, we could see the craters it was very interesting. Sunday morning we followed a compass course layed out by Kenny Meade and Bobby Kesler. It was about 2*4 miles long and covered different types of terrain. Patrol 2 lashed together a table from poles and some boards for the cooks to use. Sunday for dinner the group had rabbit and woodcock before breaking camp and heading home.

I BOBBIE'S UNIQUE NAIL SERVICE 1.517-852-0940 Sculptured Nail Extensions Manicure • Pedicure TO THE EDITOR: Recently I took a petition around the village of Nash­ ville. The petition was asking for signatures to put a Nuclear Freeze question on the ballot in November. Since that time, other states have followed suite — Vermont, California and New Hampshire. Some folks signed because they knew me, some signed because they were familiar with the issue and some chose not to sign. The choosing not to sign is a-vital part of our democratic freedom. The reasons given, however, are puzzling and a bit frightening. I shall not reiterate those reasons, but shall only seek to further the knowledge of those who signed and enlighten those who chose not to. On December 4, 1981, the Senate voted 208 billion for the pentagon. Only five senators voted no, Carl Levin of Michigan being one of the dissenters. (D—Riegle was absent.) JSane World, Feb. 1982.) Of that 208 billion, about 100 billion dollars goes to the increasing stockpile of nuclear weapons, which Auto Service CENTER QUALITY WORKMANSHIP TRANSMISSION REPAIRS BODY & BUMP SERVICE WHEEL ALIGNMENT & BALANCING TUNE-UPS & MUFFLERS MAJOR OVERHAULS BRAKES already contains over 1 million times the explosive power of the Hiroshima bomb. (World Military and Social Expenditures, 1981 Ruth Leger Sivard.) Of the 10 developed countries for which data is available (does not include the U.S.S.R), the slowest economic growth has hap­ pened in the two countries whose military outlay is high in respect to its GNP, U.S. and Britain. In Japan, whose commitment to arms is minimal, their productivity and investment growth is phenomenal (only recently have they been affected by the economic slowdown of U.S. and England.) (Ibid.) Take a good look at the U.S.’s 100 billion outlay for nuclear destruction for the coming year and remember these facts: 450 million in the world are hungry or malnourished; 870 million adults cannot read or write; 12 million babies die every year before their first bir­ thday; 2 billion people do not have safe water to drink (Ibid). There will be no survivors of a nuclear blast — the blast kills people by shock-wave, overpressure and wind; the fireball temperatures in the thousands; the radiation... massive does.

If someone brings around a petition for a nuclear weapon freeze for you to sign, think carefully and ask yourself if you want your children, grandchildren and great grandchildren growing up in the world as you know it.

The Mackinac Bridge Authority has paid for all but $25 million of its con­ struction and mmaintenance debt. It should own the bridge outright by 1987, seven years ahead of schedule. In the past history of the bridge, it has closed a total of nine times because of weather. This year, however, it Closed at least that many times in six weeks because of Old Man Winter! Remember him? BUCKLE UP THE BABIES - IT’S THE LAW APRIL 1 Beginning April 1, 1982, all Michigan motorists must make sure that all children four years old and younger are safely secured in their cars. Specifically, all children under four must be carried in safety seats. Children between one and four, however, when carried in the back seat, may be secured with a seat belt. Child deaths in auto accidents could be cut by 90 percent, according to Michigan Association for Traffic Safety. AND WATCHOUT WHAT YOU FEED THEM - The U.S. Food and Drug Administration is recalling all lots of “SMA” infant formula. The FDA believes the products may lack vitamin B-6. Without vitamin B-6, infants can suffer serious health problems, including convulsions, so this is an im­ portant warning. The recall includes 32-ounce cans of SMA Ready-to-Feed, 13-ounce cans of SMA concentrate, and onepound cans of SMA powder. The lots involved have code numbers from A25M through A31M or B1M through B15M, which appear on the' top of the cans. If you have some of these on your shelf,'return them to the store where you purchased them.

Meade also commented on the 1936 item about Charles Diamante’s installation of ah ice cream freezer at his confectionary store in Nash­ ville. “I sampled (the ice cream) on visits home,” wrote Meade. “He also made the best chocolate peanut clusters and peanut brittle I have ever eaten.” Meade added that he enjoyed the Turning Back the Pages type feature. “That type of Memory article certainly points up how much life has changed in a little oyer 100 years in a typical rural Michigan community” he concluded.

Tuesday March 30. 1982 — Page 8 Recollections of turn-of-the-century clothing “The Victorian Age, when extreme modesty and decorousness prevailed among women...” Those are the words of the late Leo Herrick of Nashville, written in an article published in 1961 in the Nashville News as part of a series commenting on turn-of-the-century life. The observations by Herrick were recollections of his growing-up years in the local community. In one of his columns published under the heading of The Great Balloon Ascension, Herrick reminisced about the cumbersome and frequently drab attire worn by men, women and children in the days of his youth. He remembered two popular costume accessories of the era; parasols for the women and galluses for men. “Seems like in those days almost all parasols and umbrellas were black, even though black draws heat when the sun is shining,” wrote Herrick. Men at the time wore galluses, not suspenders, to hold up their trousers, Compare Insurance Rates & Benefits We at Hastings AAA invite you to call and compare insurance rates and benefits on . . . Auto*Home*Boat*Life*Motorcycle recalled Herrick. He also remembered that the legs of trousers were round and quite tight without creases. Men's shifts all had long sleeves and detachable collars. “The collars were hard and glossy and could be wiped off with a little soap and water and worn again the next/ day,” noted Herrick, “or even all summer, for that matter, as the collars would never wear out.” Well-dressed men of that day wore tight-fitting vests under their suit jackets, with large gold watch chains and fobs suspended between the pockets of the vest. “The boys, however, were in a different world until they reached the age of sixteen years,” added Herrick. “Up to that time they were required to wear knee pants, which was humiliating to most of us kids.” Herrick said the young lads longed for the day when they could blossom out in long pants and strut down the street. “That was a thrilling day indeed,” he concluded. “We could now hold our chins up with the menfolks and get more respect from the girls, too. We were no longer treated as kids. We even began to think about razors and how to use them when the time came...” It was about this same era, shortly after the turn of the century, that women began to assert themselves, ob­ served Herrick. “Mildly, of course, but even so the men Ornate hats with wide brims allowed ladies to hide their faces with a deft turn of the head. A profusion of dress and millinery styles of the era are seen in this 1911 photo. Young ladies identified from left with both maiden and married names are: Beulah Mead; Aura Munroe McGinnis; Mildred Purchis Mater; Bernice Mead Shaw; May Rothhar Smith; Leah Walrath Partridge; Oliver Walker Bell; Pauline Kunz Lykins; and Cecile Zuschnitt Betts.

(The crosswalks were located at various intervals along the street.) However, with teams, wagons, buggies and carts passing over them, the crosswalks soon became as dirty and dusty as the thoroughfare, negating the advantages of the designated pathway. “So, when it was necessary for a woman to cross,the street, she would reach down, grab hold of her skirt, and lift it just an inch or two off the crosswalk,” explained Herrick. “When she reached the other side, she would let go of it and it would drag behind her on the sidewalk, like a mop.” Herrick claimed this was no exaggeration, as be had witnessed the scene as a child and wondered why the strange creatures acted that way. As a woman strolled down the street, no movement of feet or legs could be detected. “In fact, we kids were not positive that she had legs in those days and there was no way to prove it,” added Herrick. A woman’s face was about the only bare skin exposed. She wore long sleeves with black gloves which were designed to cover her hands except for the tips of her fingers. A high collar with side stays almost, reached her ear lobes and, of course, she had long hair. “But even that was not all,” noted Herrick. “She had that (hair) wrapped around switches and rats until it was big and bunglesome.” On top was perched a large hat with a wide brim turned down on one side, so that she could hide her face by deftly turning her head either downward or slightly aside, as she would sometimes do if she were-meeting someone whom .she did not want to recognize, or if she did not want to be recognized. “So, it was possible to meet a lady like that face to face and still never see her face,” concluded Herrick. It left one wondering after she had passed whether or not she was beautiful. The weight of a woman clothing alone would exhaust a man, decided Herrick. Still, a woman, especially one from a farm, he noted, not only would lug around all of those clothes but carry a bundle of purchases in one arm, lead a child with the other, ride home on a bumpy wagon, carry in wood and build a fire, prepare the meal, wash the dishes, scrub the floors, and the next day do a big washing by hand with wash boards. “Yet, we of the male sex used to refer to them as the weaker sex,” commented Herrick. “Nothing would be farther from the truth. She could endure physical and mental tortures of all kinds and never faint. It was just a matter of getting used to it, I suppose.” BARRY COUNTY EXTENSION SERVICE CALENDAR of EVENTS fflEEta Jklhislkl l’ SgKif WHSiltHli L» M K'Jf italMl a Mi WiliSti * 1 “ gitoti ■ is lit hat-1* Street- tom ■ IMiwuw ■III# March 29 - Lake and Pond Construction and Maintenance, 7:30 p.m., Community Building, Hastings.

Nashville, Tuesday, March 30,1982 — Page 10 Vermontville youth enjoy chopstick timeEating with chopsticks was a lesson learned Wed­ nesday by Vermontville’s Maplewood kindergarteners. A total of 67 students in the morning and afternoon classes taught by Linda Jones participated in a Japanese Tea Party, one of several annual events designed to help the youngsters to learn about cultures of other countries. With several room mothers aiding the teacher, the children were served a meal of diced apples, grapes and dry snack cereals. They practiced eating with chopsticks while seated on the floor at low tables, Japanese-style. The youngsters wore oriental hats they had fashioned from newspaper. Colorful handmade place mats designed with oriental faces decorated, the tables. For the past two weeks the kindergarteners have been studying Japan, hearing stories about the customs and traditions of that country. One of the students — Stacy Hawblitz — made a small poster for Wed­ nesday’s Tea Party. It depicted Japanese numerals. Stacy had drawn the characters from a calendar she had at home. Wearing oriental style hats, four young lads tackle diced fruit served at Wednesday's Japanese Tea Party at Maplewood School in Vermontville. Oriental faces decorated placemats on the low tables.

From our readers TO THE EDITOR: The countryside seems to be a dumping ground for some people to dump all their garbage and dead animals in. This week on Lacey Road, someone dumped freshly killed hound dogs and their manure just above the creek and on our property.

At the same time there - are some universal principles that apply to all. Protect your credit is one of these rules. A farmer or a family can have a very bad year. But if the prospects for the future are decent, all is not lost. However, the comeback will be tougher and longer if youjve lost your credit rating in the mean­ time. That’s a little bit the situation Michigan govern­ ment is in. The prospects are decent for the future. The automobile industry is still centered in Michigan and will make a comeback. Perhaps never as it was before, but much better than now. We are making good progress in the development of high technology and robotics. Our agriculture grows and is reacting positively to the recent recognition of the important role food production, processing, and distribution can play in our future. Tourism has become a yearround economic contributor and is responding to our expanding promotion. But no matter the brightness of the future, the present is bad. Our deficit expands daily and the time remaining to solve it shrinks away towards our Sep­ tember 30 fiscal year end. Right now our deficit stands at around $500 million or 10 percent of our general fund budget. While further strong cuts can be made in some areas, others are generally considered un­ touchable. Our prison population grows and guards are at dangerously low levels as last summer’s riots demonstrated. Mental health personnel also is ruled out of future employee cuts after taking their share of Michigan’s first cutback of 10,000 employees. Many support further social service cuts but even cutting grant levels to 10 percent below neighboring states will save less than $100 million. State employees definitely will take further cuts this year and give up next year’s scheduled in­ crease. Perhaps a quick and drastic cut in all these areas could come within a couple of hundred million of ac­ tually balancing the budget. And close observers know this amount can be hidden by bookkeeping manipulations, delaying payment of a few bills, and borrowing from various funds. Why, in his last year in office^doesn’t the Governor choose this route rather than the politically unpopular tax increase he has recom­ mended? Because our creditors can’t be avoided or fooled. Actually the national attention focused on Michigan’s problems has caused bond attorneys to pay closer attention than normal.

But no more. In recent meetings, those who make decisions af­ fecting Michigan’s bond ratings and ability to borrow have made it clear. Michigan’s credit will no longer be good unless we come up with new revenue along with the severe cuts. And our budget director agreed. That’s basically the reason for Milliken’s recent support of an income tax increase. Without it, our credit fails. No more short-term funds to hold us between tax collections; no more long­ term funds for the housing authority or building authority. No individual, family, farmer, businessman, or government can consider a credit failure lightly. And that’s the spot we’re in.

(3-30) DETROIT Susan Whit­ temore, director of the CARE Michigan Office at 500 Griswold Avenue', today announced a special Mother’s Day campaign being launched simultaneously by 16 CARE U.S. regional offices. She quoted from Dr. Philip Johnston, executive director of the international aid and development organization: “In these times of rising inflation, government cut­ backs and business slowdowns, it’s un­ derstandable that the first concern of Americans is problems at home. But please take a few moments to reflect on mothers and children in developing countries who lack even the basic necessities of life we take for granted. “You can help these women and children through the CARE Mother’s Day card plan,” he continued. “When you send attractive CARE Mother’s Day cards to your mother and any other women you choose, your contribution to CARE will help provide food, schools, water systems, health care, and training for women in income-generating skills. And the recipients of your cards are honored that you are helping the needy their name. “Your generosity helps women to lift themselves out of poverty and make a better life for themselves and their families.

March 30. 1982 — Page 17 Dumont wins Vermontville Pinewood Derby The Vermontville Cub Scouts held their annual Pinewood Derby in January. The boys did a good job making their cars this year. A prize was given for the best design, which went to Mike Martin of Den 1 — we now have four dens and wejieloes. The winners of each den were: Den 1 Kirk McKenzie; Den 3 Matt Heinze; Den 4 Duffy Laverty; Den 5 Brian Dumont; Webeloes, Jeff Schroder. The overall winner for championship was Brian Dumont. Second and third place went to Matt Heinze and Kirt McKenzie. Cubs held the annual Blue and Gold Banquet on February 25. They had beautifully decorated tables and a very nice dinner, which was potluck and meat and cake furnished by the pack.

Milliken, Lt. Gov. James H. Brickley, Attorney General Frank Kelly, Secretary of State Richard Austin, House Leaders Bobby Crim and William Bryant, and Senate Leaders William Faust and Robert VanderLaan are all working without pay for at least one week as a sign of good faith to their commitment to solve Michigan’s economic problems. I returned to the state over $4,000 last year by cutting office expenses and I will do the same this year. ANOTHER SAYS YES TO MICHIGAN - As Michigan gains momentum in attracting new business to our shores, World of Robots Corp, of Laguna Hills, California has an­ nounced that it’s moving its corporate production to the Jackson area. The firm’s parent company is Jackson National Life Insurance Company of Lansing. CONGRESSIONAL REAPPORTIONMENT SIMMERS The ten-year exercise in re-drawing the state’s Congressional districts continues to simmer in the Michigan Legislature. The state will lose a Congressional district this year — changing our numbers in Washington from 19 to 18 — because Michigan’s population failed to keep pace with those of other states. The Michigan House and Senate have both passed different plans. If the Legislature and Governor cannot agree on a plan, the decision will be up to a three judge federal panel. NEW LAWS FOR AGRICULTURE - Tuberculin test exemptions for cattle and strict laws aimed at preventing livestock rustling have been signed into law by Gov. Milliken. The law requiring the testing of Michigan cattle for tuberculosis was eliminated because during the past 15 years, not a single sign of the tuberculin germ has ever been found. This new law will save Michigan cattlemen over $100,000 annually. A statewide registry of cattle brands and .brands of other livestock will soon be established in an effort to stem livestock theft. Brands will be valid for 10 years, with registration* fees set at $50 and renewals at $20. Michigan experienced a 30 percent increase in livestock theft from 1979 to 1980. LAKES DRILLING BANS - The State Senate has approved legislation that would prohibit oil and gas drilling in inland lakes and streams. The law prohibits the Dept, of Natural Resources from granting permits for the con­ struction of drilling devices in lakes and streams, but allows for slant drilling techniques to reach beneath lakebeds and streams. In the Michigan House, a ban on drilling for oil and gas in the Great Lakes passed overwhelmingly. What was once only policy of the Natural Resources Commission is now state law. Exploration on the lakes is allowed, but not drilling. The slant technique, however, would be allowed in most circumstances. The bill is now on the Governor’s desk and is expected to be signed into law soon. APRIL IS HERE ... AT LAST - No foolin’! Spring is here and there’s plenty for everyone to-do.

Tuesday April 6, 1982 — Poye 2 Nashville News By Susan Hinckley z ) If March departed like a lamb, it returned as a lion in sheep’s clothing Saturday in the form of a stinging April blizzard. Snow showers whipped into a white fury by winds gusting to 70 miles per hour pelted the Maple Valley area and most of Michigan. Along the Lake Michigan shoreline, major highways were closed. Visibility was very limited. Although the local area received only 2 to 3 inches of snow, about twice that amount accumulated nearer the lake shore. Locally, a sharp drop in temperature was recorded Saturday. In Nashville, a 58degree reading at 6 a.m. had plummeted to 18 degrees at midnight. Also registered Saturday was a rapid decline in barometric pressure. Meteorologists compared the drop to that recorded in some hurricanes. The high winds caused power outages in many areas of the state. A variety of typically changable Michigan spring weather preceded Satur­ Tuesday day’s storm. evening, the general area was deluged with rain driven by fierce west winds. In Nashville, an unsual sight was squalls of water blown upstream in sheets atop the Thornapple River. But after the storm came an immense and colorful rainbow, ar­ ching its eternal promise over the drenched valley. Thursday brought a sunny though windy day with temperatures ranging into the low 60s. The weekend weather was not a very fitting kickoff for the Maple Valley youngsters’ spring vacation from - school, which com­ menced Friday, April 2. Classes are slated to resume Monday, April 12. Hopefully, the weather will improve by next Saturday, April 10, which is the day the Easter Bunny is slated to make a stop at Sandyland Park, thanks to the owners and staff at Carl’s Market of Nashville. Again this year, young children of the Maple Valley area will scurry to find some 300 dozen decorated eggs hidden on the grounds of the park, located on M-79 west of Nashville. Among the real eggs will be a quantity of plastic hollow replicas containing cash or certificates for a variety of prizes to be awarded. The hunt commences at 3 p.m. (Details appear elsewhere in this issue ofthe Maple Valley News.) In case of inclement weather, the event will be rescheduled for 3 p.m. Easter Sunday. Again this year, the Nash­ ville Friends of the Library will be conducting their annual Easter bake sale to help local homemakers with their holiday baking. All sorts of goodies will be available at the sale set for Saturday, April 10. Hours for the event to be held at SNB Bank & Trust are 9:30 to The Easter season is here, with its bright sun­ shine, warm breezes, and returning birds to quicken the pulse and signal a new and glorious resurrection of life. During our weekend country drives, let us enjoy life and protect it, with sensible speeds and careful driving.

Guy Howell, a forfner local resident how of Tucson, Ariz., wrote last week to comment on several recent Memories pieces, in par­ ticular the one which looked back at a week in local March history- One item in that collection of news pertained to the hiring in 1925 of E. E. Devereaux of Bellaire to be superintendent of Nashville’s school. “I remember him very well," wrote Howell. “He was the best scoutmaster I ever saw. I was a scout tinder him. We went on overnight hikes and had lots of fun and learned a lot, too.” Howell wrote that Devereaux was an excellent story teller. “He could tell a.m. a.m. p.m. p.m. REV. ROBERT G.

The Pit and the Pendulum, written at the time of the French Revolution, and the Mask of Red Death, which was about one of the plagues. When the. meetings, would break up about 9 p.m., we would go home watching every tree to see if something was behind it. We enjoyed his stories though.” Howell added that after Devereaux left Nash­ ville, he went on to teach science at a Lairsing high school, and Howell once called on him there while attending a Hi-Y meeting in that city. Some of our readers may recall a Nashville News item of a couple years ago, which was contributed by Mrs. Elizabeth Lynch of Nash­ ville. It pertained toa special feature on Devereaux, at that time still living in Lansing, written by a State Journal reporter who hap­ pened to meet the personable retired school teacher at a city bus stop. Devereaux was on his daily journey to visit his wife I since deceased) who was seriously ill at an area nursing facility. The reporter was. obviously impressed by Devereaux’s keen mind and winning ways, the same traits which apparently earned him the respect of many of his for­ mer Nashville students. We heard from several after that column item appeared. On another recent Memories topic, Guy Howell wrote that he recalled the ice cream freezer installed by Charles Diamante in 1936 in his Main Street store. Noted Howell: “I still have a 4x6 inch advertising thermometer from Diamante’s Confectionary, Phone 2491, Nashville.” A picture of .a smiling girl holding yellow flowers decorates one edge of the thermometer case while bluebirds brighten the opposite, side. “The whole thing is glass covered and in a gold colored metal frame,” added Howell. “There is a small calendar for 1949 on the back.” Howell also noted that he remembered the discovery of mastadon bones in Assyria in 1938, another news item we had used in that particular Memories piece. “They (the bones) were on display in lhe window of one of the (Nash­ ville) stores, I forget which one,” wrote Howell. “The boys did quite a business for a while, I guess. They charged ten cents a person to see (the bones).” The picture of Nashville’s 1875 Cornet Band used with - the March 9 Memories also evoked recollections for Howell. “It brought to mind a visit I had with old Mr. Purchis. I believe he was Frank (Shorty) Purchis’ grandfather. He lived east of us on the west side of the railroad (track) on Reed Street. Mr. Purchis told me that hi§ father and family came to Michigan very early and homesteaded a piece of land. He said when he was a young man, Nashville had a band and he was a member. They used to meet for practice on Standpipe Hill, only the standpipe wasn’t there at that time. He said there were Indians living around Nashville and he followed one of their trails getting from home to band practice. One night after practice, he was on his way home when he heard a kind of a shuffling behind him. He looked back and there was a good-sized bear following him. He said he took off and ran all the way home.” Kenneth A. Meade, a Nashville native now of Franklin, also wrote last week to comment on several recent Memories stories. “I particularly enjoyed the excellent Memories article you wrote on how Nashville got its name,” noted Meade. “I had heard that it was named after the chief engineer in charge of con­ struction of the railroad but had never heard any details.” Meade added that he liked the photo of the early wooden bridge spanning the Thornapple River, and added: “I believe the Gregg home shown in the article is the one that Floyd' and Belle Everts lived in for a number of years.” He is correct. In our story, we had neglected to note that the Robert Gregg home, which played a key role in the naming of our village, still stands at 344 N. Main St. Built in 1863 by Nashville patriarch George Gregg, it is best remembered now as the home of the late Mr. and Mrs. Floyd Everts.

Mon.-Sat. rotas ' 181592 m9am09 S9t. 852-9099 Kenneth Meade also commented on the recent Memories about early news correspondents. “Your Memories article on the importance of neighborhood news in the early days of Nashville News was ’ well done,” he wrote. “I remember as a boy reading those neighborhood columns to see how many names I recognized. As I got into high school, I knew more and more.” Meade speculated that the telephone- and automotive transportation may have contributed to the demise of neighborhood news items in small ’ town papers, since it became easier for persons to acquire this type of information individually. And he added: “With the advent of radio then television, people had less time to be interested in what their neighbors were doing.” But he noted an upturn of this type of news in some small papers now serving suburban areas of Detroit. “I guess people never lose their interest in what their friends are doing,” he concluded. Former local resident Zoe Gillett of Hastings suffered a fractured hip Friday evening and is now confined at Pennock Hospital, where she underwent surgery for in­ sertion of a pin in the hip. Mrs. Gloria Johncock of Nashville recently returned home from a 2-weeks trip to visit her slaughter Sheryl West and children, Scott and Julie, at Colorado Springs, Colorado. They greeted her at the Denver airport. Mrs. Johncock enjoyed a busy round of activities during her stay, including visiting with two former residents: Sherry (Loursma) Sevie and Vickie Rose. One day, she was a lunch guest of the latter. Miss Rose then took Mrs. Johncock on a tour of a floral warehouse business in which she is a partner. Sunday after church, Mrs. Johncock and her daughter and family were brunch guests of friends Mrs. Pauline Young and the latter’s daughter, Beth, who is a former co-worker of Sheryl’s at Joy Mfg. Beth recently accepted another position and was honored by the company with a surprise farewell luncheon at Giusippes, an Italian restaurant located in an historic train depot at Colorado Springs. < Mrs. Johncock was invited to join the party and at other times duringher stay enjoyed both a roller skating event and a bowling tournament spon­ sored by Joy Mfg. Weather was pleasant with trees budded and no snow except on the mountains. Mrs. Johncock enjoyed an auto ride with Mrs. West into the Rockies. Pike’s Peak can be seen from the window of Mrs. West’s home. Mrs. Johncock’s trip ended with an exciting flight home, which included a 2-hour delay at Denver when the airplane experienced fueling problems. The airport was very crowded with students returning from spring-break skiing vacations.

Built in the winter of 1884­ 85 as the home of Charles and Agnes (Smith) Putnam,the structure has remained essentially unchanged since that time. It was willed to the village in 1921 by the Put­ nams for use as 'a public library, and opened in September 1923 under the auspices of the local Woman’s Literary Club. By November of that year, the 300-volume personal collection of the 'Putnams, which were part of the bequest and which formed the nucleus of the library, had quadrupled to 1200. Now, the library has more than ten times that amount in cir/ culation. ■ The library is supported by the village of Nashville, which is responsible for maintenance of the facility, and by payments from the townships of Castleton and ^lil ’’^Strfftda trfftda 'He. ^Wslial.

Building plans call for a children’s wing to be added to the west side of the structure. The room will include a barrier-free lobby entrance for easy access by the handicapped and elderly, and will also include barrierfree restroom facilities. An adjacent parking area also is planned. Entrance into the main portion of the library will be through the present office of the librarian at the rear of the first floor. Estimated cost of the proposed addition is $50,000. Roughly $10,000 of that has already been set aside in a special building fund. Some $8,300 of that amount came as part of a $405,000 federal Community Block grant allocated to the greater Nashville area in 1979. The balance of the present building fund account came from projects of the local Friends' of the Library and from a recent bequest. Local retired architect Genevieve Hafner has been retained by the board to draw plans for the addition. Maple Grove, plus some state monies.

Plans are also underway to permanently inscribe' on a scroll for display in the new addition the names ofall donors to the project. Donations may be made at the library or to Mrs. Morris (Nita) Brown, Putnam Library Board Treasurer, at her home at 205 Maple Street or by mailing them to her at Post Office Box K, Nashville. Receipts will be issued for all donations. The. board hopes that ceremonial ground-breaking can take place during the summer months.

College Week is a four-day experience in informal learning held annually on the MSU campus. This year, the dates are June 21-24, says Mona Ellard, County Ex­ tension home economist. This . year’s theme is “Families Make the Dif­ ference”. All of the more than 60 classes, seminars, workshops and optional activities are built, around this theme. Whether a person is in­ terested in stress, financial or time management, weight loss, microwav.e'cooking, electrical repairs, effective parenting or energy, he or she will find classes of in­ terest at College Week. The majority of the classes are designed with learning materials or -teaching packets that participants can take home and share with members of their community or organization. “Some clubs or organizations J’ Mona Ellard says, “sponsor one or more of their members to attend College Week so they can reteach what they learn to the whole membership.” It is estimated that the 1,300 College Week par­ ticipants will share College Week materials with more than 30,000 persons.

April 6, 1982 —r’agu iO Martins honored for service in scouting Donald and Esther Martin of Vermontville arrived at Maplewood School for the annual Cub Scout Blue and Gold Banquet, J'ebruary 25, with no inkling that they were to be honored guests. As a surprise, the banquet was arranged to coincide as a farewell and appreciation dinner for the Martins who are retiring after many years of dedication and service to the scouting organization in Ver­ montville. Special banners, a lovely cake, and a striking bronze plaque were all part of the honors of the evening. Especially cherished by the Martins is a beautifully inscribed album which was presented to them that evening. In it are. listed the names of all the scouts and the leaders with whom they have worked during their affiliation with the scouts, which dates back to 1971. Don and Esther first became involved in scouting when their son, Donald II, now 20, joined the organization. Don served over five years as a Webelo leader, and has been a Cubmaster and also Unit Commander. Esther hs been a den leader; treasurer of the Pack for three years, and has helped with the Webeloes and also served as Unit Commander. Among the Martins’ treasured awards for their years of scouting work are citations from Third District Congressman Howard Wolpe;. State Rep. Ernest Nash (56th District); and Edgar Fleetham, Eaton County Commissioner. The Martins have also been presented with Vemrontville’s special Maple Leaf Award, a community service award given in conjunction with the Maple Valley News. Present at the Blue and Gold Banquet, as a special surprise for the Martins, were their three children and their families. They have two daughters, Mrs. Lois Hammonds of Vermontville and Mrs. Gail Hulbert of East Lansing, and son Donald, a college student living at Ft. Wayne, Indiana. Also .present were the Martins’ three grandchildren. Others in attendance to pay tribute to Don and Esther were past scout leaders with whom they had worked: Don and Shirley Lewis and Jim and Ann Samaam As a sort of “ruse” to enhance the surprise scheduled for the banquet, Vermontville Scout leaders treated the Martins to a February 7 dinner at the Pour House in Lansing, leading the honorees to believe that the restaurant event was their “retirement” dinner. Vermontville news By Esther Shepard Stlnday morning, April 4, was a lovely day with the sun promising a warm day — but Saturday the wind started in the early morning hours with rain and by daylight, when it did come, we found that the spring flowers were in sight. By 1:30 p.m., the fine snow came with a 32 degree temperature and wind chill of 3 below. With the blowing snow, inside was the best place to be. Sunday morning brought an 18 degree tem­ perature and wind chill of 16 below. Three to four inches of snow was on the ground. There was a good turnout for the Booster’s dance Saturday night at the fire barn. A piece of good news, no fires Saturday.

Barber writes in Genesis and History that wolves were plentiful, but seldom committed hny depredations. Like politicians, they were great howlers. Hunters rarely saw one in the woods, and they were caught in traps for the sake of the bounty of five dollars on each one that was killed. Deer and wild turkeys were abundant. In the fall, coon hunting was common pastime, and the coon dog that did not get his nose and mouth full of porcupine quills by attacking the wrong animal was a fortunate brute. Was there porcupine here? Almost every log house could be seen during the fall months with numerous coon skins tacked onto a board or box or barn door, the insides exposed to the air and supshine for drying and preparing for the peltry purchaser who was sure to come around and gather all the deer skins, coon skins, and an oc­ casional mink skin for the market. Fifty cents for a coon skin was a goad price. Edward W. writes that it was to start a walfish serenada. Oren Dickinson came in 1836 with a team of horses, the road was but a little more than a trail, just enough underbrush having been cut out to let a team to pass. Oren’s nephew, R. W. Griswold, started from Vermontville early one morning to drive through to Bellevue. Night overtook him while yet in the woods, and in the darkness he could not follow the trail, over which a few wagons had previously passed. He stopped the team and en­ deavored to find the roadway by getting down upon his knees and feeling with his hands for old,wagon tracks, but in vain. It was as dark, he once said, “as a stack of black cats.” Thinking that he might be within hailing distance of Bellevue, he gave a loud halloo, and was an- Don and Esther Martin of Vermontville show some of the awards and citations presented to them in honor of the years of service to the local scouting program.

Such incidents, like not being able to make fourteen miles by daylight with a pair of horses and a wagon, show better than words can describe the characteristics of the roads the first settlers traveled over.

From our readers TO THE EDITOR: Maple Valley School District residents, you better get involved with “YOUR” school while you have a chance. Ifyou are among the many that call about the credibility and ethics of the present school board and disagree, now is your chance because there are three seats open in June. I would also like to answer some questions that you often ask: (1) What really happened in the new budget approved at the March meeting? This is “my opinion”. They took about $70,000 out of the Transportation Fund and put it in the General Fund. Some figures to back the statement are: (1) July 1, 1981, $347,837 in Tran­ sportation account. (2) In October, 1.4 mills passed for Transportation, approx. $117,000. (3) Nov. 9,1.4 mills designated for Tran­ sportation by board. (4) As of Dec. 31, 1981, “last print out date”, this money had never made it to account. Question 2: Why did you vote against the ad­ ministrators contract? I disagreed on two points, no pay amount was included and allowing the coaching of sports on school time. Present school policy says no tax dollars for sports, but then most school policy is to quiet the crowd for now and then forget. One good example is Policy D-108, inacted 1-22-81, to be reviewed annually and then forgotten. Thanks for your time, more later.

Reform measures include the coordination of benefits, tighter definitions of eligibility and the removal of fringe benefits from calculation formulas for disability rates. BUDDY, CAN YOU SPARE A DIME? - As the Michigan Legislature continues to pursue ways to avoid a record deficit and alleviate a severe cash flow problem, Governor Milliken has raised the possibility of increasing the tax on cigarettes by 10 cents. That would bring the total state tax bn a pack of cigarettes to 21 cents. This revenue would be put into a cash restoration fund to begin putting an end to the state’s annual $500 milion cash deficit position. This money could not be used to fund existing new programs. TORNADO TIPS - Once again the tornado season is upon us and it’s time to review safety procedures so that tragedy might be diverted. The safest place in the home or building is the southwest corner of a basement. If no basement is available, crawl under heavy furniture. If you are in your car, get out immediately and lay face down in the nearest ditch or ravine. Because tornadoes cause dramatic drops in the barometric pressure, leave windows open slightly on the north and east sides of your home. This will cause the pressure inside to equalize the pressure outside, and the chances of your “house “blowing up” will decrease. FASHION DESIGNER WEEK - This week has been declared “Say Yes to Michigan Fashion Designer Week” by the Governor. The Fashion Group of Detroit, which is being honored for its scholarship activities, plans to send 10 fashion design students to college with the proceeds to be raised at fashion shows and other events centered around Michigan designers. STOP IN THE NAME OF THE LAW! - Stiff penalties went into effect last week for those fleeing or eluding police of­ ficers. Fines of up to $1,000 have been established, as well as prison terms of one year for individuals who attempt to flee or elude law enforcement personnel. In addition, the office of the Secretary of State will be required to suspend an in­ dividual’s license for 90 days following a conviction for fleeing or eluding police officers and the addition of six penalty points to the individual’s driving record. Until this new law went into effect, the only penalties for eluding and fleeing involved a $100 fine and a 90 day prison term. LOADED GUN LAW - On April 1, it became unlawful for most people to-drive with loaded shotguns or rifles in their cars. The law closes a loophole that allowed motorists in many of Michigan’s larger cities, where local ordinances were not in place, to carry loaded arms in their cars. It's easy...turn those unwanted items into cash ... with an Action Ad — 945-9554 �The Maple Valley News, Nashville, Tuesday, April 6, 1982 — Page 15 Ag rescue seminar planned for April 10Farm accidents often require special knowledge of farm machinery, materials or other hazards to extricate or assist victims.

It may have been the Saturday scheduling — it certainly wasn’t the weather — that drew a record turnout of youngsters to the annual Easter Egg Hunt at Sandyland Park in Nashville Saturday. It was the coldest “hunt” in recent history but also one of the best attended. In the past, the events hdve been held on Sunday afternoons. A chilly wind didn’t dampen^ the enthusiasm of several hundred youngsters who scampered around the park in search of some 300dozen decorated eggs and several special prize­ winners. Numbers imprinted on some of the hard-boiled eggs and other plastic replicas earned various awards for the finders. The event was sponsored again this year by Carl’s Market of Nashville with several local merchants donating cash'or prizes for the hunt. Cash also was given by -the local V.F.W. Ladies Auxiliary, Post 8260. Prizes from Carl’s came through their various supply borkers, and included a race car set; big stuffed snowman; a large Easter Bunny; a Peter Pan truck; continued on page 7 Vermontville teen is pageant finalist Denise Valdick, 18-yearold daughter of Cecil and Janet Valdick of Ver­ montville, has been selected as a state finalist in the 1982 Miss Michigan National Teen-Ager Pageant.

Nashville council president appoints committees for 1982-83 year Standing council com­ mittees for the 1982-83 fiscal year were appointed Thursday by Nashville President John Hughes, conducting his first formal council meeting as head of the village. Hughes, who took office April 1, named the following committees: Dept, of Public Works - Robert Fueri, Jr., chairman; George Frith and George Hermenitt; Police Forrest Babcock, chairman; Carl Tobias and Linda Frith; Finance Carl Tobias, chairman; Robert Fueri, Jr. and George Frith; Parks, Library and Lights - Robert Fueri, Jr., chairman; Linda Frith and George Frith; Policy George Frith, chairman; Carl Tobias and George Hermenitt; Or­ dinance and Zoning - Robert Fueri, Jr., chairman; Linda Frith and George Hermenitt. Hughes appointed Trustee Forrest Babcock to be President Pro-tem of the village; Sgt. Gene Koetje to serve as Acting Poljce Chief; and Leon Frith to be Director of Public Works. Named by Hughes as representatives to local fire an ambulance boards were Linda Frith and Forrest Babcock. Representing the village of the Transfer­ Recycling Board will be Carl Tobias and Warren Travoli. The board of Putnam Park will be chaired by Forrest Babcock with Carl Tobias and Warren Travoli serving as members. President Hughes’ ap­ pointments listing also reaffirmed the current membership of the Planning Commission and the Zoning Board of Appeals. Both boards presently have one vacancy, noted Hughes. William Kipp chairs the Planning Commission comprised of members Gerald Kent, Mary Slag, Nelson Brumm, Gerald Shoup arid Warren Travoli. The Zoning Board of Appeals is headed by Carl Tobias with Sharlot Sours serving as secretary­ treasurer and the following members: Gaylord Gray, Sharon Green, Lonny Kienutske and Ron Bracy. The Lakeview Cemetery Board will continue to be chaired by Leon Frith with Ada Yaudes serving as secretary-treasurer and John Mason, trustee. In other business Thur­ sday, the council: — Approved repair of the differential in the village’s 1974 Chevrolet dump truck at an estimated cost of $600 to $700. — Agreed .to investigate the cost of having a telephone installed in the Community Center, now the official site of all village elections and business meetings. — Discussed whether the hiring of a new sexton at Lake view Cemetery is the responsibility of the cemetery board or the village, which owns the cemetery and appoin.ts .the board, and whether said employee could work part­ time for the village Dept, of Public Works. — Heard a report .from President Hughes on a recent meeting he attended of the Nashville-based fire and ambulance boards, in which annual financial reports were presented. Hughes said the $1,400 budgeted by the village as an annual payment to the ambulance board is not sufficient, as the department expects to spend about $5,000 this -year in upgrading training of five Emergency Medical Technicians to EMT Specialists. Thursday, the council approved a $782 quarterly payment to the ambulance board. —' Adopted contract change order no. 7 on the sewer expansion project, resulting in a het decrease of $4,996. — Heard several updating reports on the sewer project from Bruce Kuffer, regional consultant with William & Works, engineers on Nash­ ville’s $4.8 million sewer expansion, now nearly completed.

Devereaux, an early local school superintendent who came to Nashville from Bellaire in 1925. He later went on to teach chemistry ancT biology at Lansing Central and Sexton High School in Lansing, the city where he eventually retired, but he was never forgotten by his many former students and friends here. We learned after last week’s piece ap­ peared that Ezra Ennis Devereaux died Sunday, April 4, in Lansing. Memorial services were held Wednesday at South Baptist Church in that city. Mr. Devereaux was 82 years of age. He was born at Ithaca and graduated at Wheaton College, Wheaton, Ill., later studying at Utah State and Michigan State University. He taught in public schools for a total of 43 years, the last 35 being in Lansing, before retiring in the mid1960s. “Dev”, as he is fondly remembered by his many admiring former students here, and his wife Lois in 1972 became volunteer teachers at the School of the Ozarks on Lake Taneycomo * near Springfield, Missouri. In a 1972 interview with the Lansing State Journal, Devereaux explained that the 1,000 students at that liberal arts school all had one thing in common:they couldn’t afford to go to other colleges. “They’re in ex­ treme financial need, and they pay their way by working 20 hours each week,” said Devereaux. “None of them pays a single cent.” Dev and his wife taught taxidermy there, with students learning and then working their 20 hours in the art. Lois died in 1980 after a lengthy illness due to brain cancer. The Devereaux’ daughter, Phyllis, died of the same affliction t^vo years earlier at age 53. Dev is survived by a daughter, Mrs. Virginia Wood of 3835 and Palmer, Lansing, several grandchildren. Mr. and Mrs. Norman Sandbrook of Nashville are the first donors to the fund drive for a proposed Children’s Wing addition to Putnam Public Library. Launched earlier this month, the campaign is aimed at raising monies for the estimated $50,000 project. Public donations are being solicited. Each week, donors will be listed in the Maple Valley News (unless the individual wishes to remain anonymous). Plans are also underway to permanently inscribe on a scroll for display in the new addition the names of all donors to the project. The proposed wing, with barrier-free entrance for the handicapped, will be added to the west side of the library. Donations to the project may be made at the library or to Mrs. Morris (Nita) Brown, Putnam Library Board treasurer, at her home at 205 Maple Street or by mailing them to her at Post Office Box K, Nashville. Receipts will be issued for all donations. Ladies of a community group at Mead-O-Acres mobile home park of rural Nashville enjoyed a tour last Thursday of the Upjohn Company in Kalamazoo.

Meade, a local native now of Franklin, commented on our recent Memories story about turnof-the-century clothing. “How well I remember the knee pants or ‘knicker­ bockers’ as they were called,” wrote Meade. “As we boys got older, we would unbuckle them at the knees and let them hang down as far as possible. I was so happy when I was big enough to wear long trousers.” When the young boys first started wearing long trousers, explained Meade, the older boys would pull up one of their pant legs to see whether or not the young boy was still wearing long stockings or whether he had ankle length hose as he was supposed to wear with long pants. “That I guess was one of the rites of initiation into adulthood,” Meade con­ cluded. He noted that in the 1920s when he started playing golf, young men went back to wearing knickers because Bobby Jones and some of the other early golf stars wore them. Meade also added that the headgear worn by the men in the photo accompanying that Memories story was in­ teresting. “I especially liked the derbies onTLee Greene and Joe Segur,” he com­ mented. “The cap like the one Amos Hinckley is wearing (in the photo) is again the ‘in’ headcovering for men. We see lots of them in suburban Detroit.” Friends of the Library would like to thank the community for their support of the Easter bake sale held CLIP THIS and SAVE IT; last Saturday.

In Nashville in 1926, for example, there were seven Main Street stores at which one might buy food and staples: Appelman’s; A & P; Caley’s; Kraft’s; McDerby’s; Maurer’s; arid Colin T. Munro’s. But also on Main Street were two bakeries, two confectionaries, and two. meat markets: Wenger & Troxel; and Floyd F. Everts. Many other local family names have been associated with early Nashville - meat and poultry businesses, including Ackett, Clever, Cooper, Downing, Roe, Thomas and White. The Floyd Everts family moved to Nashville from their Assyria farm in 1914 and took up residence above the store opened that year by Everts in what is mow the Blakely building on the east side of Main Street. “Dad and Tab Thomas had served their apprenticeship under John Ackett (an early local meat dealer),” remembers Everts’ son, Lloyd, now of Downers Grove, Ill. “Tab later moved to Battle Creek where he worked for the Chilson markets.” Lloyd remembers well the operation' of his father’s Nashville meat market. “We bought our stock from the Alvin Clever's meat market, seen here in late 19th century photo, was located in the present-day Lathrop building, two doors.south of 228 N. Main (now Betty Blakely's antique store) where Floyd Everts opened his long-standing meat market in 1914. A building between the two meat markets has since been removed. Clever, suffering with rheumatism in Dec­ ember 1901, leased his market to his brother-in-law, Walter Donough. In white apron in photo is Tab •Thomas, who served his apprenticeship with Floyd Everts under John Ackett, an early local meat dealer. Note dressed carcasses hanging on storefront. farmers and. hauled it in a bull wagon,” he noted. “It had high wheels in the back and a drop axle, 'making it low to the'ground. Later use of the wagon was for youths who took it to the school and chained it to the door as a Halloween prank.” The stock was butchered at a slaughter house in the south end of town and the beef, pork, mutton and veal was hauled to the market and placed in the cooler before being cut up for sale. “We did some custom butchering, too,” recalls Everts. “Two dollars for a large hog and one dollar for a beef.” Early refrigeration at the meat markets was primitive compared to today. “The meat was kept cool by a 200pound block of ice,” remembers Everts. “We pulled (the ice) up a chute to the top of- the cooler where it was pushed on to slats so the air could circulate around it.” Two men below helped push up the ice block with pike poles. Once, recalls Everts, one of the large NOTICE OF PUBLIC HEARING Thursday, April 29,1982, at 7:00 pm NASHVILLE COMMUNITY CENTER PURPOSE: Vernon Curtis is requesting a special use permit in order to place a used car lot on property located at 201 South Main Street.

Early meat dealers were among the regular users of ice harvested annually from area lakes and rivers in the dead of winter and stored in sawdust-filled ice houses as a summer cache. In later years, when the Nashville creamery pur­ chased a new and larger ice machine, the Everts acquired the old 5-ton Baker from the creamery and had Tony Schmidt install it in the store. “City‘*water was not cold enough and we had to drive a separate well to get colder water to keep the com­ pressor cool,” noted Everts. “If the compressor got hot, it would blow out the packing gland on the flywheel and you could smell ammonia all over Nashville. No one could stand the odor.” Another important piece of equipment in the early meat markets was the grinder. “I’ve been told that a gas engine was used to power the meat grinder before elec­ tricity came to Nashville, commented Everts. “It (the engine) stood outside behind the market. The belt ran through the wall. I’ve also BIG GEORGE'S PARTYSTORE This coupon good on Tuesday and Thursday Only! N.

H. Ham­ mond,” noted Everts. “There was a small amount of pork (added to the bologna) for flavor.” The chuck was shipped to Nashville in refrigerated railroad cars and delivered immediately by dray to the store, upon its arrival at the depot. The Everts market made bologna at least twice a week in quantities ranging from 200 to 400 pounds. “The meat had to be coarse ground once and then fine ground,” explained Everts. It was packed into casings with a hand stuffer arid later smbked with hard maple or hickory wood, as meat will take, the taste of any other (kind of) wood.”1 Everts recalls that high school boys would come into the market every day to eat -their lunch in the back room. “On days Dad had ..made bologna, he would throw five or six rings of it on the table with a knife, for them to eat all they wanted,” remem­ bered Everts. « The quality of Everts meat was well-knowp in the. community and his son credits that th his " dad’s philosophy: “Dad’s orders were that you didn’t use' (sell) any meat youwouldn't eat yourself.” -5 ' The highest price‘ Lloyd Everts can remember was for boiled ham, at 60 tents a pound. When’they had a sale on hamburger,’it sold at six pounds for a quarter. Occasionally the' Everts Market conducted a guessing contest on the weight of a dressed beef, arid awarded the winner a 10pound roast. “Ours was an oldfashioned market having only besides meats, dill and small pickles, catsup, mustard, canned' meat and fish, and sauerkraut,” noted Everts, In the fall, the market also carried oysters. During the fishing season, . many boys would come into the market for two-cents worth of bullhead meat, recalls Everts. ‘‘Dad generally tried to find some liver for them, giving them the meat and then telling them to go get some lemon drops or jaw-breakers with their two cents. He said when boys were fishing, they weren’t getting into trouble.” Lloyd’s mother, Belle Everts, made meatloaf, boiled tongue and min­ cemeat to be sold and also helped out in the market, recalls her son. The Everts kettlerendered lard from the fat trimmings of hogs. Tallow from beef was sold to fac- tories for their machinery belts. “We ground bones and sold the lard cracklings to far­ mers for their chickens,” added Everts. “The beef hides were salted, boomed and shaken, then sold to hide-and-bone men.” During the holiday season, the Everts dressed chickens, geese, ducks and turkeys and saved the down for Belle, who made feather pillows. “Some of the men who worked for Dad were Glenn Bassett, Vernard Troxel; Floyd White, Howard Brooks, Earl Ayers, Jake Forman and Dennis Yarger,” remembers Everts. The store was kept open an hour past midnight on Saturday’s for a par­ ticular reason. “Customers bought their meat before attending the dance at the Odd Fellows Hall on Saturday night and we had to-stay open to give them their purchases (after the dance),” noted Everts. “This was due to refrigeration.” On Sundays, the market was open from 8 a.m until Continued on next poge- For Your Real Estate Needs...

Everts remembers that operation of the meat market required long hours and very hard work. “We scrubbed the floors and cooler every week,” he recalls. Installation of the automatic cooling machine made operation of the market easier, he added. The Everts Market operated in Nashville for 35 years and is still remem­ bered for the excellent bologna produced there. Kenneth A. Meade, a local native now of Franklin, sums it up: “My memories of the Everts meat market are of the wonderful bologna they made. They ground the meat, stuffed it into casings, tied strips of bologna into rings, smoked them a -while and then cooked them in a big kettle in the back of the market How wonderful the aroma of the cooking bologna and how wonderful it tasted when it came out of the kettle! They made two kinds: garlic-flavored and plain. The meat was quite coarsely ground — not like the stuff that comes out of the packing houses today.” Meade recalls the meat market as a busy place around the holidays “with chickens, turkeys and a few ducks and geese hanging in the meat cooler and the wonderful beef steaks and roasts along with various cuts of pork available to customers.” The Maple Valley News, Nashville, Tuesday.

One of my favorite stories in the Bible is found in John 20:11 -18. It is the story of Mary Magdalene and her encounter with the risen Christ on that first Easter morning. Mary had come that morning, early, bearing precious spices to anoint the dead body of Jesus. When she arrived at the tomb she couldn't believe her eyes — the stone had been rolled away and the body of Jesus was gone! After notifying the apostles of her discovery, she stood heartbroken outside the tomb sobbing. Mary thought that Jesus’ body had been stolen and that meant an end to the great promises that He had given her regarding His kingdom, the forgiveness of sins and an eternal home in heaven. When two angels confronted Mary about her sorrow, she turned away and nearly ran into the risen Christ. So overwhelmed was Mary by her grief and mistaken reasoning concerning Jesus' disappearance that she failed to recognize Him! Jesus asked her, in verse 15, a simple question: "Whom seekest thou?" And I believe the Lord would ask each of us the same question this Easter season. Whom are you seeking? Are you trusting in and looking for the risen Christ who alone can bring forgiveness for your sins? Or are you, like Mary, blinded by mistaken reasoning and earthly concerns. To many people Easter is simply a religious observance and it has no real meaning. The meaning of Easter is clear — it is a reminder that Jesus Christ died for your sins and rose from the dead. "God is not willing that any should perish” but "sent His Son that whosoever believeth in Him should not perish but have everlasting life." This Easter I hope that each of you would seek the living, risen Christ as your personal Saviour.

They will also be in Grand Rapids on April 22; Among Michigan towns and villages with an in­ terfelting early organization, not another one was more unique in its genesis, set­ tlement and history than Vermontville. Founded by an organized colony of Vermonters, with Michigan, a church and a school in their minds, the land was pur­ chased of the government in the name of selected trustees under a written compact, which set forth the plans, and purpose of the colonists. Only one person, the minister and leader, had ever seen Michigan. It was an ideal town and village, with a written constitution duly signed by each of the proposed colonists, before the land was bought and its location known by any of them. They made the venture at random in an entirely unknown region, but they Were men and women who believed in the guiding hand of Providence, and. although more work than wealth fell to their lot, they built even better than they knew. After all, it was not dreams of great wealth, but desire for larger opportunities for themselves and their children, that caused these Vermonters to seek a new homg in this beautiful peninsulh ' of the great northwest. It was the era of pioneers, the money age had scarcely dawned. (This was written by Ed­ ward W. Barber to be read before the State Historical Society in Lansing at the annual meeting, this beginning only the open part of the speech in 1897.) rMarge, Jerry, Holly and Teddy Thrasher of Silver Springs, Md., visited the Jerry, Srs. over spring vacation.

The former Agnes Smith was a native of Ver­ mont who became Nash­ ville’s first public school teacher in 1866. Their home was a focal point for local society events.

Lawrence Chase of the Historical Markers Com­ mittee will report on the proposed wording of a twoside metal historical marker to be erected at Woodland Township Hall: “In 1837 the first settlers came into Woodland Township. After the Civil War the population had grown to about 1,000. On Aril 5, 1867 the Township Board voted to build a 30 feet by 48 feet two-story' Town House. The original building committee consisted of George Cramer, George Davenport, Alson P. Holly, John Holbrook and Ira Stowell. “After several difficult years the Township Board on July 2, 1870 accepted the completed building and discharged the Building Committee. The Township Hall was used for Township business and in 1873 the upper story was rented for school purposes. Fraternal organizations, Traveling Shows and other community events were here. “Few alterations have been made in the original building. Land was pur­ chased from Lawrence Hilbert. George Davenport was paid $500 for framing the Town Hall. He later built the •front doors. S. S. Ingersons received $840 for enclosing the Town House. Ira Stowell was paid $623.40 for com­ pletion of the building. A huge free standing wood stove provides the sole source of heat. A wooden fence surrounded the building with a gate at the front.” Chase will report on the cooperation received from Wayne Henney, supervisor, and the entire Woodland Township Board, in ob­ taining designation of the town hall as a state historic site. The Woodland- Township Hall, located in the Village of Woodland, will be the scene of the annual June meeting of the historical society.

Arbor Day Centennial is now available from the National Arbor Day Foundation, a non-profit organization dedicated to tree planting and care. 1982 is the 100th an­ niversary of the observance of Arbor Day in schools. School children ’first par­ ticipated in an Arbor Day observance in 1882 in Cin­ cinnati, Ohio by planting trees at Eden Park during a conference of the American Forestry Congress. The idea for Arbor Day originally came from Nebraska. An early pioneer, J. Sterling Morton, ad­ vocated tree planting on the Nebraska prairie. Trees were needed as windbreaks, for food and fuel, and for shade and beauty. ,Morton proposed a tree­ planting holiday to be called “Arbor Day” at a meeting of the State Board of Agriculture. Arbor Day was first observed in Nebraska in 1872 with the planting of more than anam a million on trees. rees. ,.

Virtually all of these types of sleeping bags are washable, but be sure to check the care label for the manufacturer’s recommendations first, says Michigan State University Family Living Educatidn specialists. When washing the bags, use warm water and a milk detergent or soap. Use the soak cycle and do not agitate. For larger and heavier bags, use the large capacity machines found in coin-operated laundries. When machine drying down bags, place a clean pair of tennis shoes or some heavy towels in the dryer with the bag. The shoes or towels help to fluff up the down as the bag tumbles. Down-filled bags dry slower than fiber-filled bags. All bags should be dried com­ pletely to prevent mildewing. Be sure they are thoroughly dry before rolling them up for storage. “Scruff” bags keep the sleeping bags clean during storage and transit. Scruff bags may come with the sleeping bag, be purchased separately, or can be made. It is also a good idea ot use a ground cover under the sleeping bag. The cover an be washed more easily than, the bag. Open and hang the v bags to air after each use.

Southern or Pacific coast varieties are likely to be disappointing here The perfect strawberry has yet to be invented To select from available varieties, you need to decide what characteristics are most important to you and which traits you're willing to compromise on. For in­ stance, if you want a very early maturing strawberry, you may have to sacrifice fruit quality or productivity. To get a high quality fruit for freezing, you may have to do without resistance to some diseases The following is recom­ mended varieties for Michigan, grouped ac cording to a number of desirable characteristics early ripening - Earliglow, Sunrise, Darrow; late ripening - Marlate.

As I write this, the combination of the three holds a sufficient majority to either defeat the whole proposal or cause a reassessment with considerable revision. The first group is a loyal band of true conservatives. They have, over the years, opposed most all of the programs of State govern­ ment that have resulted in our current dilemma. They fought when welfare became a state and federal obligation and mourned the closing of county poor farms. They opposed the closing of rural one-room schools and State Aid to local schools that followed. They believe sheriffs should be the primary law enforcement and resent the encroachment of State Pblice. They have opposed the gas and weight SHOP LOCALLY COMMUNITY SHOPPING PAYS OFF IN MORE WAYS THAN ONE! Your pocket or pocketbook reflects the family budget and these difficult days can play havoc with it. You must find ways to stretch every dollar by saving on the high cost of gasoline and getting the best bargains available. Where else but locally can you find friendly retailers, some your neighbors, who are interested in giving you the finest in service and savings. When you shop locally, your community prospers and civic improvements are supported by your taxes. The Maple Valley News— taxes that resulted in the building of an elaborate and expensive-to-maintain high­ way system. They resisted the laws and rules by which the DNR has gained power over industry to protect water and air quality and regulate the dumping of chemicals and other wastes. They resent the expenditure of taxpayer dollars for a college and university system they feel pays magnificent salaries to lazy indolent professors and coddles rich kids. They are suspicious of mental health programs and feel people in nursing homes should pay their own way. While we have only a dozen or so in the legislature who are “true believters” in the absolute extension of this philosophy, we have a number of others who come close. For this group the economic crisis facing State government presents an opportunity to “turn the clock back” and dismantle many or most of these programs. There’s a second group that is enjoying the crisis and feels no inclination to help solve the problem. With the governorship up for grabs, there are those in both parties who feel their can­ didates will benefit from the embarrassment of the present administration. Payless paydays, failure of State bonds or a bankruptcy similar to New York would discredit Governor Milliken and any members of his administration. Great fodder for a political cam­ paign. Probably the biggest group of no votes follow in a third category. This is an election year and the voles to balance the budget are viewed as unpopular ones. -Some of the voles involve lax increases, an obvious albatross around the neck of anyone running for reelection. There are also budget cuts in the package totaling $500 million. Naturally every cut is un­ popular with some group. Even rather small groups like supporters of county fairs or parents of deaf children are able to have an effect on elections when they feel they have been unfairly treated. Most of this third group hopes we can just muddle through until after the elections without really being forced to make painful decision. “No” voters can tailor their speeches to most any audience. Perhaps they voted no because the cuts were too large or too small, one group cut too rnuchanother not enough. And, of course, a “no” vote on taxes will go over well with most any group. A package that can pass and avoid disaster will be very difficult to put together. Perhaps by the time you read this it will have been done, but I doubt it.

Being selected to attend the March 27-April 2 con­ ference is the top award trip a 4-Her can achieve and Nyle was one of 355 participants selected from the five million members enrolled in 4-H. Representatives from 46 states, Canada, Puerto Rico and the Virgin Islands were conference participants. Michigan sent six delegates to the conference and Nyle said he was selected because of his state­ level work on the poultry developmental committee. Nyle’s trip to the nation’s capital included only oneday of sightseeing. The rest of the agenda was jampacked with meetings. The purpose of the conference is to gather ideas and opinions from the top 4-H youth and adults to help determine, implement and evaluate the 4-H program. It involves an exchange of ideas to expand the program and develop programs to meet the needs and interests of members. The goal is to provide more meaningful experiences in the future for 4-Hers. Nyle said he served on the government and talent committees. The ideas adopted from all the various committees will be used as guidelines for the 1983 4-H program. ‘You can really see that what you were doing was really going to amount to something,” Nyle said. Also, while in Washington D.C., Nyle and other 4-Her’s met ( with* the wife of the Secretary of Agriculture, top USDA officials and co­ operative extension per­ sonnel.

Plan a market garden for Farmers' Market— Greater Charlotte area residents have a good op­ portunity to make some extra dollars this year by participating in the Charlotte Farmers’ Market. With as little as an acre of land, and some planning, a grower can easily make up to $50 a day on the farmers’ market. The Extension Service is sponsoring a workshop for those interested in growing a market or home garden on Tuesday, April 20 beginning at 7:30 p.m. in Kardel Hall, on the Charlotte Fairgrounds. Among the topics to be -discussed, 'by County Extension Director, Allen Krizek, are planning the garden, vegetable varieties and sources, soils, and fertilizer^ and cultural practices for success. Also participating in the workshop will be Susan Joostberns, Charlotte Farmers’ Market Coor­ dinator, and Nancy Thelen, Extension 4-H Youth Agent. Nyle Wells presents a jug of Vermontville maple syrup to Congressman Howard Wolpe while the 4-H conference was being held in Washington D.C. National 4-H Center. Nyle’s trip was almost totally paid for by the local Production Credit office and partially by the State 4-H office. The opportunity to meet 4­ H members from other parts of the U.S. and from other countries is one facet of the trip , that Nyle enjoyed because of his interest in learning about different cultures and lifestyles. On the “hill,” Nylesaid the mood of senators and representatives has changed since his last trip there two years ago. “There is a mood of frustration,” he said in talking about the President’s apparent unwillingness to compromise. “Security has been beefedup all over (Washington D.C.),” he also noted. “We had a warm reception everywhere, probably because people always have had a good experience with 4-H people.” For the conference talent show, Nyle presented his magic act jUtich has been well-received by many area people. The group also attended a performance of the play, “West Side Waltz” which starred Katherine Hepburn. During another activity, the group enjoyed a troupe of deaf dancers who presented a recital. The cherry blossoms were just starting to bloom as the conference ended, Nyle said. “I came back with a lot of new ideas...I’m still digesting some of them. But I feel uplifted and refreshed.” He and other members of the state delegation will be making presentations to the state 4-H staff and, upon request, to county staffs. Nyle is the son of Mr. and Mrs. Carroll Wells. bje kitjMik ■tot dhnktlbtr M- Miatuswi ' HiffllsW t^iis ■rm m^hr topwa^M* illite* «_m; tajWl^ fc tak ■»■*’ £L arx?®* ‘ 3' Upright Arborvitae 9 gg Ii «'*^’'! t **Mfcl^* ' **M ** \ YOUR CHOICE 3 ,U. pr.i g.h t Arb.orvitae or 18"-24" Globe Arborvitae 18"-24" Globe Arborvitae 9.88 t••I i^ i.II *^t *^tjtiSfi ti 2prt1jsi^ f^i!' <• 21^ i * Don't MISS our big Chick Day.

Included in the latest round of cuts are $48 million in welfare programs, $80 million in aid to state colleges and universities, $78 million in several other state departments, and $101.6 million in reduced state funding of public employee pension funds. Included in the $308 million budget cut is $20 million in state employee concessions or layoffs, expected to be resolved soon. We also cut Pontiac Stadium, Aid to Cities with Race Tracks, Flint Auto World and the Council for the Arts. CIGARETTE TAX APPROVED - Michigan’s cigarette smokers will be paying 10 cents more per pack, since the Michigan House and Senate approved a tax hike that Governor Milliken says he will sign soon. The tax jumped from 11 cents per pack to 21 cents. ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY INDEX - The Michigan United Conservation.Clubs has released their third annual state of environment Environmental Quality Index Jor Michigan, showing that in the seven categories indexed, two areas increased in quality, four declined, and one stayed the same. Improvements were noted in the areas of airvand energy, while water, lands and forests; outdoor recreation, and fish dropped slightly (one point) in quality. There were no marked changes in the quality of wildlife. For a copy of the Index, send a self-addressed business envelope, with 20 cents postage, to MUCC, Box 30235, Lansing, Michigan 48909.

The stocking program for 1982, compared with 1981, is about the same, except for the addition of steelhead and brown trout stocks. SEAT BELT LAW MAKES PROGRESS - Legislation currently before the Michigan House of Representatives calling for the mandatory usage of seat belts by drivers and passengers in automobiles has won near unanimous ap­ proval by the State Transportation Commission. The Commission voted 5-1 on the proposal that is now being considered in the House committee. If approved, Michigan would have the first mandatory seat belt law in the country. Tsupport use ofseatbelts but I will not support a mandatory seat belt law. CONSTITUTIONAL AMENDMENT PROPOSED - House Republicans have introduced a Constitutional Amendment to refotm the present legislative reapportionment process. The proposal, based on the Connecticut plan, removes both the present process involving the Supreme Court, and language inconsistent with the one-man-one-vote principle. It would require two parties to each choose one circuit court judge and those two to choose a third judge. It is anticipated that the proposal will appear on the November, 1982 ballot.

If you want to control the aphids that cause them, April is the time toSpray. Gary Simmons, forestry entomologist at Michigan State University, recom­ mends spraying infested spruce trees in mid to late April with Sevin or diazinon to control the overwintering stage of the Cooley spruce gall aphid. If you prefer not to use chemical sprays, an alter­ native is to remove the galls in the spring or early summer. In late July, nearly mature aphids will emerge from the falls, move to the needles, shed their skins and become winged, reproductive adults. If not controlled with insecticides then, they will lay the eggs that will hatch and over­ winter as nymphs and continue the cycle next summer. The galls are the tree’s response to the irritation caused by the . aphids’ feeding on plant juices. The aphids feed and the galls form on the new growth at the branch tips of Colorado blue spruce and Englemann and Sitka spruce. The aphids also infest Douglas fir, but no galls form on this host. Instead, feeding results in yellowing and kinking of needles and needle drop.

The Maple Valley News, Nashville, Vol. 110 - No. 44 — Tuesday, April 20, 1982 Annual Syrup Festival 'on-tap for this weekend in Vermontville A little barbershop banter back in 1940 eventually put the tiny town of Vermontville on the map as “the sweetest town around.” The ideas tossed around in conversation at a bar­ bershop have mushroomed into an annual three-day maple syrup festival, at­ tracting thousands every year. This weekend, the historic village of Vermontville will put out the welcome mat for the 42nd edition of its syrup festival which features everything from good foods to Dutch dancers. If you’ve never seen how maple syrup is made you’ll get the chance all day Saturday and Sunday at the community’s Maple Manor where demonstrations will be” conducted. The festival serves as an outlet for area syrup producers to market their products which include such items as maple, sugar candy and maple cream besides the pure pints and gallons of ssyrup. Booths will be set up all over town. Unusually harsh weather conditions in February and March made the maple syrup making season longer this year, according to Stanley Trumble, president of the Vermontville Maple Syrup Festival Corporation. “It took about two months before all the boiling (of sap into syrup) was completed. That’s quite unusual because it’s usually shorter,” he said. At the beginning of syrup time, it looked like the quantity would be low this year because of the weather. “But the producers ended up doing fairly well,” Trumble said. He noted that the festival is a community effort and one which helps support many local organisations. The festivities begin on Friday, with a 6:30 p.m. talent show on an outdoor stage in the heart of the downtown district. The show has four divisions of com­ petition and the winners will appear on the Saturday festival program^ Carnival rides will be in operation from 6 p.m. Friday through Sunday evening. Festival organizers say an outstanding variety of arts and crafts will be on display at the village’s Maplewood School Saturday from 9 a.m. to 8 p.m. and again on Sunday from 9 a.m. to4 p.m. Most of the artists and craftsmen will be demon­ strating their talents during the event. The show is one of the approved activities on the Michigan Fine Arts calendar. Old-fashioned melodramas will be presented at the historic opera house in Vermontville during the festival. Local history will also be on display at the Ver­ montville Museum which will be open from 2-5 p.m. on Friday; 9 a.m; to 6 p.m. Saturday; and in the af­ ternoon on Sunday. Helicopter rides will be available both Saturday and Sunday. And a farmyard zoo will be in operation Saturday from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. Saturday’s events start at 9:30 a.m. with opening greetings by local officials. Wearing colorful native costumes and wooden shoes, the West Ottawa Dutch Dancers will take to the street at 9:45 a.m. to en­ tertain the crowds. A pint-sized parade just for children will march down Main Street at 10:30 a.m. followed by the coronation of the 1982 Vermontville Maple Syrup Queen Beth Heald at 11 a.m. Beth’s court includes Kandy Kane, alternate queen; Lisa Foote, Vicki Mix, and Rebecca Eaton. Entertainment will be featured on the outdoor stage at 11:30 a.m., featuring the third place talent show winners. At noon, winners of the maple products and festival contests will be announced. “Al’s One Man Band” will Continued on page 5 Proclaimations designating April 18-24 as Private Property Week in their respective villages were presented last week by Nashville President John Hughes (center) and Vermontville President Bill Mason (right) to Joe Andrews, sales man­ ager of Santon's Real Estate, which operates offices in both communities.

During this annual event, which carries the theme “Private Property Rights...Yours to Protect,” the Barry-Eaton Board of Realtors will offer a week of community-oriented progams and activities designed to call attention to American’s right to own real property. One of the realsons Nash­ ville and Vermontville have grown into a fine community is Americans’ right to private ownership of real property which has helped individuals to produce thriving industry and commerce here. In asking the citizens of Nashville and Vermontville to observe Private Property Week, Hughes and Mason described the occasion as a celebration of a right that has helped make possible communities like theirs. They also called upon Nash­ ville and Vermontville residents to celebrate the right, with the intent that this freedom will continue for posterity. Former publisher-editor dies Donald F. Hinderliter, 73, former editor-publisher of the Nashville News, died Friday at his home at 279 Beachfield Drive, Battle Creek. The Nashville News, which Hinderliter purchased in 1941 from Willard and Mary Gloster, is a forerunner of the Maple Valley News, a continuously published weekly founded in 1873. Born in Iowa, Hinderliter was raised in Athens, Michigan, and came to Nashville from Quincy, where he had been editor­ publisher of the Quincy Herald. While living in Nashville, Hinderliter also acquired the Vermontville Echo from Olie McLaughlin, and published that until he sold it in 1953, three years before selling the Nashville News to John and Amy Boughton. (The Boughtons later purchased the Echo and combined it with the Nashville News to form the Maple Valley News.) As publisher of the Nash­ ville News, Hinderliter became well-known in this area for his popular Backstreet Barometer column, published weekly in the News. He also is remembered for his ex­ tensive coverage of local servicemen in World War II and for seeing that the boys in service received free weekly copies of the hometown newspaper. After Hinderliter and his wife, Zelna, sold the Nash­ ville News in 1956, they, moved to Battle Creek where he became a staff writer and farm editor for the Enquirer and News.

While the drama has been highlighted, many of the routine details have been forgotten. In the winter of 1884-85, Charles Putnam and his wife, the former Agnes Smith, set about having built on Nashville’s North Main Street a magnificent twostory brick home. It is commonly believed that bricks for the structure came from the manufactory located on the south side of the village, owned and operated by William Boston, Charles Putnam, afflicted an English-born Ann Arborwith tuberculosis and fear* reared brickmaker who came to Nashville from ful of exposing others to Dexter in 1875. the disease, committed Elegant Belgian stained suicide in 1918 at age 71. glass windows and a Putnam came to Nashville beautiful open stairway were as a 19-year-old drifter, just two of the architectural rose to prominence in the community, and was pres­ gems of the Putnam home, constructed for less than ident of State Bank at the time of his death.

Construction on the Put­ nam home started at about the same time Charles sold his interest in the local hardware firm of Daniel L. Smith & Co. to his brother, L. C. Putnam of Hillsdale. When he first, arrived in Nashville in 1865, Charles Putnam was a restless 19year-old drifter of limited schooling — one of eight children of Lenawee County pioneer Miles Putnam, a farmer who came' to Michigan from his native Massachusetts via Ohio. Nashville being hardly more than a scant settlement when he came on the job scene, Charles took any kind of work he could find, floating from job to job. A brief venture into the dry goods and grocery business with George W. Francis lasted a year. Later he worked for a short time as a section hand for the Grand River Valley Railroad, which ran its first train through Nashville in 1869. But Putnam was destined for success in the mercantile world. On a trip to Detroit, he bought a stock of hard­ ware, returned to Nashville and set up shop. Eventually, Putnam became an investor in an automatic scale and register company and did The spectre of untimely death shrouds the former Charles Putnam residence, now Putnam Public Library, due to two suicides and the early demise of a young Spanish-American War veteran raised in the home. Built in the winter of 1884-85, the residence was willed to the village by the Putnams and opened as a library in 1923. During the Putnams' lifetime, the home was often the scene of community, social and cultural events. Nashville's Woman's Literary Club accepted responsibility of converting the Putnams' bequest into a functioning public library. Mrs. Floyd (Belle) Everts was club president when the WLC sought and gained council approval to undertake the task, completed in 7 months. Shown in an Oct. 1950 photo are some WLC past presidents and members.

At the time of his death in 1918, Putnam was president of the State Savings Bank in Nashville, a post he had held for a number of years. He had also served his com­ munity as village president and park commissioner. Putnam’s wife, Agnes, came to Nashville from Vermont and was the village’s first public schoolteacher. The. couple was married on November 1, 1869. Their only children, twin daughters Edith and Ethel, died in infancy in 1881. The Putnams were always very generous with their commodious and elegant home. Agnes was considered a most gracious hostess. Because of the beautiful open stairway, the Putnam residence was a perfect setting for traditional wedding processionals. Thanks to the kindness of the Putnams, the home was frequently the scene of marriage ceremonies, being “loaned” to young brides of the community for the oc­ casion. The Putnam home also was the center for many other social and cultural events of the day, including teas, parties and plays. One of the largest and saddest gatheringsjn the red brick home was on Sunday, May 21, 1899, for the funeral of Frank Smith, a young veteran ‘ of the SpanishAmerican War and nephew of Mrs. Putnam.

(Maple Valley News photos by Susan Hinckley) The Barry County Historical Society met Thursday evening at Put­ nam Public Library in Nash­ ville to formally recognize the 1980 designation of the building as a State Historical Site. The event was in con­ junction with the organization’s regular monthly meeting. About 30 persons were present for the occasion. At the meeting, representatives of the society presented the library with a facsimile of the text which will be imprinted on the official metal marker to be acquired from the state. Village officials on hand for the event were council members Robert Fueri, Jr., who heads the Parks, Library and Lights com­ mittee; George Frith, and Linda Frith. Following the society’s business meeting conducted by President Richard Loughrin, the visitors were treated to a tour, of the library by Librarian LaDuska Sheldon and her assistants Ruth Brown and Janet Kellogg.

But Maple Valley boftball coach Dan Downing figures his team will improve a lot this season and that a .500 seasons easily within reach. “I would say at least .500 and maybe even compete for the league title,” Downing said. “We have some players back that have experience and we have improved in all areas, defensively, of­ fensively and speed.” “There is no try about it, we are definitely going to improve.” A group of six seniors that return will be the leaders of the club. They are Cindy Brumm, Julie Dormer, Kelli Cowell, Carla Sutfin, Pam Knoll and Lynn DeCroot. Downing also expects a lot out of sophomores Jamie Carpenter Members of the Maple Valley softball team are (front, from left) Lynn DeGroot, Cindy Brumm, Julie Dormer, Carla Sutfin, Paula Service, Kelli Cowell, manager Kim Bitgood, (back) Jamie Carpenter, Cindy Symonds, Tania Colby, Colleen Hoffman, Stacy Hill, Lori Gardner, Tammy Corkins and manager Jamie Sim­ and Tammy Corkins. Around the infield the lineup looks like the switch hitting Knoll at first, Corkins at second, DeGroot at short, and Cowell at third. Carpenter and Dormer should hold down outfield spots and the other spot could be filled by one of four players. The four that are battling for that spot are Lori Gardner, Cindy Symonds, Stacy Hill and Paula Ser­ vice. Colleen Hoffman and Carla Sutfin will catching duties. Brumm will be the starting pitcher and Tania Colby will back her up, rounding out the battery. “I’m quite optimistic,’’ Downing admitted. “Last year they had a problem with fundamentals and that is the area we will devote our time to.” share Clip and save these handy M.V.

Last year’s Lion team fashioned a 5-2 dual mark and a third place finish in the TCAA conference. Tom Brooke, a senior that finished fourth in the district in discus last year and was the TCAA champ in the event, heads the group of returners. Tony- Reid, a junior sprinter and long jumper that was second in the league long jump last year, is also back. Randy Beechnau, a distance runner that placed in every meet last year, will lead the long mileage crew. Senior Cory Furlong is back to sprint and be a captain on relay teams. Steve Hummell, a senior that set a school record last year in the 330 low hurdles, and was second in two league meet hurdle events, is also listed as a returner. Rounding out the let­ terwinners is Scott Alldaffer, a sophomore distance man. “The rest of the squad is young,” Kirwin said. “If they run hard we can have the same type of record as last year.” Some of the young guys that Kirwin expects to help out are Gary Reid, a fresh­ man pole vaulter and relay man, Jim Simonds, a strong freshman 440 runner, and Robert Brown, who ran a 10.7 100 yard dash as an eighth grader last year. “The weather has been the biggest problem we’ve had,” Kirwin said. “When we get out and get some good work in, I’ll know more.” Members of the Maple Valley boy's track team are Tim McLoughlin, Tim Tobias, Tom Brooke, Scott Visgar, Steve Lantrip, Pat Ressequie, Eric Dahlman? (second row) Ken Hamilton, Gary Reid, Jim Symonds KenGillig, Mark O'Brien, (back) Dean Hale, Bob Aber, Scott Alldaffer, Bill Grinage, Randy Beechnau, Robert Browne and Kevin Chapman. Lions gals look for help from newcomers Only six letterwinners are back for Coach Wayne Cogswell and his Maple Valley Lion girl’s track team, and he says success will depend on the newcomers helping out. He admits the six he has back will be top point get­ ters, but with just 18 girls on the team, depth is a concern. “It is the first year for a lot of the girls so it is hard to tell yet,” Cogswell said. “I think distances are probably our weakest area, but we do have some people that will place some.” The six that form the nucleas of the team are seniors Melissa Coffman and Melanie Rogers, and juniors Tracy Symonds, Shirley Heimberger and Kathy Gaedert. Coffman will high jump, run the 220 and run low hurdles. Rogers will long jump and sprint and Gaedert will also run sprints. Symonds and Heimberger both return as experienced shot put and discus throwers. “Our sprints look pretty strong, but most of the other events are too hard to tell yet,” Cogswell said. “The rotten weather hasn’t really allowed us to do much.” • Rounding out the squad as newcomers .are exchange student Katariina Lahdesmaki, Becky Eaton, Pam Irwin, Denise Wells, Lori Fisher, Doreen Cook, Dawn Cogswell, Christine Antcliff, Denise Snowden, Paul Steinbrecher, Kelly Todd, Lynnette Williams, Karen Hummell and Beth Heald. Members of the Maple Valley girl's track team are (front, from left) Katariina Lahdesmaki, Becky Eaton, Pam Erwin, Denise Wells, Lori Fisher, Doreen Cook, (second row) Dawn Cogswell, Chrstine Antcliff, Denise Snowden, Melanie Rogers, Shirley Heimberger, Paula Steinbrecher, (back) Melissa Coffman, Kathy Gaedert, Tracy Symonds, Kelly Todd, Lynnette Williams, Karen Hummell and Beth Heald. Maple Valley Lions /nine' wants to leave TCAA as winners- Members of the Maple Valley baseball team are (front, from left) managers, Kim Gillig, Heide Christi, Marcie Nessan,.(second row) Marty Martin, Tim Ramey, Walt Maurer, Jeff Christensen, (back) Bob Brumm, Jeff Starring, Randy Joostberns, Rich Elliston; and Tony Dunkelberger. The Maple Valleyi Lions enter their last year of play in the TCAA league and Coach Larry Lenz said one of their major goals is to go out a winner. “We want to be the TCAA champs and anything after that will be frosting on the cake,” Lenz said. The Lions enter the season with six returning starters, among them a top notch battery. Senior pitcher Walt Maurer is back and so is junior catcher Tony Dunkelberger. They will trade off at pitcher and catcher filling the number one and number two slots at both positions. Last year’s shortstop Eric Wolff is back for his senior season, but Lenz has moved him to third base to make room for sophomore Jeff Starring. He came up to the varsity for some action as a freshman last year. The remaining three starters that return are senior Jeff Christensen, who returns at second base, Mike Kelley who comesback as an outfielder, and Rich Elliston who is back at first base. Another sophomore that came up for tournaments last season, Marty Martin, will fill one of the outfield spots, probably center. Senior Randy Joostberns will probably play right joining Martin and Kelley to patrol the Lion outfield. From third to first the lineup looks like Wolff, Starring, Christensen and Elliston. Joining Dunkelberger and Maurer on the mound corps will be senior Rick Roberts and junior Tim Ramey. Junior Bob Brum is ex­ pected to help out in the infield and in the outfield. “Right now we look better than I anticipated,” Lenz said. “We played well in a scrimmage with Hastings, and I saw a lot of im­ provement.” The Lions have just 12 players on the roster, and Lenz said because of that they will all see plenty of playing time. Central Montcalm and Carson will be the teams to beat in the TCAA Lenz feels. “But don’t count us out,” he said. “I’ve been im­ pressed with our hustle and attitude.” �The Maple Valley News, Nashville, Tuesday, April 20,1982 — Page 14 Seperate awards for local winners World class runners set to go in Sunday’s race by Greg Johnson World class marathoner Gordon Minty, Detroit Free Press Marathon winner Mike McGuire and Great Britian’s top ranked runner Wendy Smith, will be the cream of the crop in the new look Vermontville Syrup Run, Sunday.

Young trees and shrubs, as well as ground cover, are best advised because they provide food and shelter for animals, aid in soil con­ servation, and establish windbreaks. For little cost, you can turn your yard into a beautifully landscaped setting. Think spring, Mother Nature. We are. WELCOME BACK, JACK! - Jack Loiisma, Michigan’s native son who manned the recent Space Shuttle flight, the longest to date, exchanged Michigan flags with Governor Milliken recently. The flag Milliken presented Lousma flew over the Capitol, while Lousma’s flag flew over the world! GREAT LAKES SAVED FROM DRILLING - It is now a state law. Gov. Milliken has signed into law legislation prohibiting drilling for oil and natural gas in the Great Lakes, Michigan’s greatest natural resource. While many believe that oil and gas deposits may exist beneath the waters of Lake Michigan, Lake Erie, Lake Huron and Lake Superior, the risk to extract the precious fuel outweighs any potential financial gains for Michigan. The measure ensures that the largest bodies of fresh water in the world will be safe from spills, further pollution, and accidents that could cost Michigan more than lost revenues from oil and gas leasing potential. NATIONAL CONSUMERS WEEK - Next week, from April 25 through May 1, has been declared National Consumers’ Week, and to educate the public oh what is available to Them, the Michigan Consumer Council has prepared a number of brochures to assist the consumer. “Michigan Consumer Protection Act”, “Complaint Referral Guide”, “Michigan Consumer Groups” and “How to Buy a Used Car”, are but a few ofthe many brochures available, free of charge, by writing my office, The State Capitol, Lansing, MI 48909. RIGHT-TO-FARM LAW ENACTED - The Michigan Department ofAgriculture has begun implementation of the 1981 landmark “Right-to-Farm” law which will enable Michigan farmers to grow and harvest crops, raise animals, irrigate land and spray for insects without the fear of retribution from neighbors. In the past, lawsuits have been filed against farmers because of complaints about dust, noise and odors.

The first shelter, one of the' smaller ones, was built in August of 1980. The secondsmaller shelter and the large one were finished in July of 1981. The big shelter was par­ tially funded by a federal matching grant and partially by the parks building fund. It cost $25,000 to build and took about two months to con­ struct. All shelters were built by private contractors from Barry County. The large shelter can be rented for $50. Half the space is available for $35.

Home Economist When your 16 year old son walks in the back door and you turn with a smile, you realize once again that he must have grown an inch overnight. You heard that Saturday there was a 90th birthday party for a lochl person. Also an anniversary party for a couple celebrating their 60th year together. Ybu can’t help but wonder at what influence nutrition had in these situations.. From good prenatal care to longevity of life, nutrition has played a key part in the good health of Americans. Nutrition of the family can be an expensive venture for some who have less money today to spend on the food budget. To insure for good health, everyone must receive adequate aihounts of the four basic food groups dairy, fruits and vegetables, breads and cereals, dairy Two local students receive degrees atWMU Two Nashville students received bachelor’s degrees from Western Michigan University at its com­ mencement that concluded the first semester of the 198182 school year. Charles Corbin of Assyria Rd. earned a bachelor's of science degree and Joseph Jarvie of Price Rd. received a bachelor’s of . music degree. and meats. Here are some ways to decrease your grocery bill, yet retain the needed amounts of the basic four. — Day-old bread and bakery items may be available where you shop. They are just as wholesome and about half the cost. — Ready-to-eat cereals that are sugared cost more per ounce than unsweetened ones, buy unsweetened. — Stretch your milk dollar by using nonfat dry milk in cooking. Lowfat milk and skim milk are generally lower in price than whole milk. — Fruit juices can be used to replace popular car­ bonated beverages. They costless per serving and are good sources of vitamin C. — When you cook dry beans, peas or lentils, make extra to use in a different meat dish or to add to soup, casseroles or chili. — Whole chickens are usually less expensive than chiken parts. — Breaded chicken and fish items are usually more expensive than plain ones. Save money by preparing your own crumb mixture and breading the food yourself. Good nutrition helps to keep other costs down when less doctor or dentist calls have to be made. A wise cook checks the local grocery specials, prepares a weekly food menu, then makes out a shopping list. He or she finds while in the store, less im­ pulsebuying, less time taken in the store and a lower grocery bill at the check out. Good family nutrition pays off — make April your nutrition month.

ONCE A YEAR by John D Houseworth As winter lays her head to rest and spring begins to wake, the crispness of the air departs and with it every flake. The sun begins to shine again and with it brings the glow of washed and readied sap buckets that hold the sweetest flow While trees are tapped and buckets hung the boiling pans can start, to make that smooth rich syrup that's endeared to every heart As school lets out the children run and race to get there first, to taste the sweet am­ brosia and willingly taunt their thirst The townfolk hang the banners and signs and carnies begin to arrive, the merchants take on extra help in hopes their business thrives The stage is set, the bands prepare the veterans march once more, the floats are assembled again. How many? At least a score! The all too modest firebarn pancakes, the best in all the world, stacks o’ cakes and piles o' pork and all in syrup swirled. Eggs are thrown, and wood is hacked and uncooked griddle cakes et but this just ain’t the half of it not done, not hardly yet!

Vol. 110 - No. 45 —Tuesday, April 27, 1982 Vermontville festival warmed with sun-sational crowds The Maple Valley High School Band, under the direction of Duane Thatcher (left), paused before the stage to perform their version of the Hawaiian War Chant. With temperatures soaring in the seventies, thousands found their way to the annual maple syrup festivities in Vermontville last weekend. “Everybody had the biggest day they’ve ever had on Saturday,” said an en­ thusiastic Stan Trumble, president of the Ver­ montville Maple Syrup Festival Corportation, as he spoke of concession sales and carnival receipts. Sales of pancake meals set a one-day festival record on Saturday at the fire barn where the Maple Valley Band Boosters were serving. “They served pancakes to 3,500 persons just on Saturday,” said Trumble. He noted that the fire barn is just one place where pan­ The Plymouth Fife and Drum Corp was a new addition to the parade line-up. The Maple Valley News and Hastings Reminder were among the sponsors who brought the unit to Vermontville. cakes were eagerly con­ sumed by festivalgoers. Trumble said an estimated 15,000 persons flocked to the village to participate in Saturday’s fun-filled agenda. *‘We had about half of that on Sunday,” which he said was about twice as high as at­ tendance on Sunday during past festivals. Local cam­ pgrounds were filled with visitors. Trumble attributed good weather and the cham­ pionship run for boosting Sunday’s attendance. Weather during festival­ time for the past four years has not been as nice, he said. “I don’t know when we’ve seen such nice weather for all three festival days.” Maple syrup producers who depend on the festival as a marketplace for their products were a bit disappoipted that their sales weren’t ^as high as an­ ticipated. Beth Heald reigned as festival queen. Serving on the court were Kandy Kane, alternate queen; Becky Eaton, Vicky Mix, and Lisa Foote. Vernon and Mary Trowbridge were the festival’s honored citizens and they received a Legislative tribute from Rep. Ernest Nash, a Maple Leaf Award from Village President Bill Mason, and an award from Hildred Peabody, festival program chairman. The Trowbridges have made many worthy contributions to the village by the participation in many organizations. This year’s program was dedicated to the memory of Hildred’s late husband, Kenyon Peabody who passed away last year. Because of Kenyon’s dedication to helping to make the com­ munity better and for his work on the festival, Rep. Nash presented a Legislative Tribute to Mrs. Peabody during ceremonies Satur­ day.

TV host tells memorable moments to senior girls Refreshments were served in the high school cafeteria following the Evan's presentation in the auditorium. The annual tea was sponsored this year by the Nash­ ville Woman's Literary Club, which alternates with the Vermontville Women's Club in sponsorship of the traditional spring event. (Maple Valley News, photos by Susan Hinckley) by Susan Hinckley In 1979 Dick Evans, host of Channel-8 WOTV’s popular “On the Michigan Road” series, received an Am­ bassador of Tourism award from governor William Milliken for promoting travel interest in the state. Wednesday evening, in a talk by Evans at Maple Valley High School, it was obvious why the outgoing journalist had earned the honor. He speaks of Michigan and its people with obvious love. Evan’s talk at MVHS was for the annual Senior Girls’ Tea sponsored by the Nash­ ville Woman’s Literary Club on an alternating yearly basis with the Vermontville Woman’s Club. About 50 girls and their mothers were present for the occasion, and enjoyed refreshments in the cafeteria following the program in the auditorium.

Nashville’s Main Street hosted the overflow of celebrants who flocked by the thousands to tiny Ver­ montville from cities and towns near and far. With thoughts of Nash­ ville’s own upcoming fall Harvest Festival in mind, Dennis Lamie, a member of the Riverside- Recreational Development Corp, which sponsors the September event, reminds area residents that now is the time to be planning pumpkin seed plantings. One of the traditional promotions of the . annual festival is a harvest produce contest with special emphasis on the largest pumpkin grown. The name of the top grower and size of the winning entry are in­ scribed each year on a perpetual trophy plaque. Last year the competition was slim, with only three entries in the pumpkin category. The winning orb weighed only 112 pounds. Lamie said that it wouldn’t take much to beat the all­ time local record of 159 pounds in the RRDC’s pumpkin contest, and he urges consideration now for participation in the fall event. Invitations will be mailed in the near future for a reunion of Maple Valley’s Class of 1967. The planning committee would appreciate current mailing data on classmates who may have changed addresses since the last reunion in 1977. Parents, relatives’! and friends of members of-the Class of 1967 who may not be living in the Maple Valley News reading area are urged to contact Susan Corkwell at 852-9109 or Dave and Brinda Hawkins, 852-0749, . to furnish address information.

The event was repeated Thur­ sday for the morning class. Ingredients. for the meal were furnished by the children and their teacher. The pancakes were prepared in the classroom on an electric griddle by Mrs. Hunt, with Principal Howard Yost filling in. As part of the lesson, the students learned the proper way to set a table and how to handle a knife and fork in cutting a pancake. The pancakes were im­ mersed in locally produced maple syrup. Prior to last week’s dinner event, the children enjoyed a field trip to Nashville’s Sugar Shanty in Putnam Park to see how syrup is made by boiling down gallons of watery sap collected from maple trees. *b w RN s . k $& w Sf XS ■SS *x £S« S« ’M th Nashville News, cont. * Shannon Hickey flooded her pancake with rich maple syrup, locally produced.

Public appeals for autobiographical in­ formation on various individuals was made via the weekly column. Mrs. Cross also wrote personal letters to urge participation in the project. Depending upon the length of the reports, one or two grads were generally featured in each weekly column. Fillers of ap­ propriate poetry, early school enrollment data, commencement programs, etc., were'used to enhance the report from time to time. Favorable comments on the column were received from readers who enjoyed learning about former grads now living at near dr distant points.- In some cases, the alumni wrote of exciting location in Chicago, where Alumni of Nashville High School spanning a period of experiences not typical of he had been for many years about 40 years were tracked down in Fern's News col­ a credit manager for various small-town living. umn.

Francis, Class of 1888, then of Cleveland, Ohio. A newspaperman and former owner of the Lake Odessa Wave, Francis wrote his Remembrance of the graduation exercises of the Class of ’88 held at Nash­ ville’s old opera house. That letter launched several subsequent reports by Francis of his recollection of early days in the Nashville school and of the community in general. At various times throughout 1928, recollec­ tions of Francis were published in the “Grad” column under the sub­ heading, (“Telling Tales Out of School.” Individual alumni reports still were being received and were run in conjunction with the Francis stories. By 1929 the popular column compiled by Mrs. Cross had been discontinued, but it had been a 4-year source of joy for readers of the News who loved to reminisce about the past. The column continues to serve as a living history account of many former, often famous, Nashville residents and of some who are still with us. A wealth of biographical information on local people was accumulated in those columns instituted 57 years ago. As the News observed in launching the project in 1925, there would be a lasting value to the column by Mrs. Cross. “Former grads, as a matter of record, should keep a file of all these numbers of the News for future refences,” advised the writer.

The building fund continues to grow through private donations. Under pressure from the Barry County Board of Commissioners, the Nash­ ville council Thursday was obliged to approve returning to the county $8,383 in grant funds which had been ear­ marked for the expansion project. The monies were part of a $405,000 federal Community Development Block Grant allocated to the greater Nashville area in 1979. The funds for the library improvement, which were specifically designated to implement a barrier-free entrance for wheelchairs to the library, will be returned to the county board, which in turn will send the payment to the Dept, of Housing and Urban Development. Return of the funds had been requested in a letter to the village from Winifred Keller, director of PlanningZoning and Building for Barry County. She said she had been appointed to clear up administrative detail work on the CDBG program. The $8,383 has been held in escrow by the village since last April pending development of library expansion plans, with the blessing of county officials who were present at the meeting in which the council voted to bank the funds. “There was an 18-month deadline (to spend the money) but we were never given any indication of the time limit,” said Village Clerk Susan Corkwell. The village invested the Fast, Fair Claims Service? One name says it best. library grant allocation in a time deposit, hoping to buy time for the library board to develop building plans and secure the balance of the estimated $50,000 needed to complete the project. “We are being sold short by the county,” said Village Trustee Carl Tobias Thur­ sday. He said the council was told last April by Sylvia Dulaney, Barry County Grants Coordinator, and her administrative assistant, Steven Reid, that there would be no problem in putting the monies into escrow. “We were told by the grants office that they were going to mark (the funds) off just as if they had been spent, so that the funds could be held for the addition to the library,” explained Tobias. “Now we’re down to the point of having to return the money, but we were going by the advice of the county’s grants people (to bank the funds).” He said the council now realizes that they, probably were given incorrect in­ formation. The council voted Thur­ sday to comply' with the county’s order to return the funds. Mrs. Corkwell said the monies and interestt accrued over the past year on tthe time deposit will be turned over immediately to Barry County. The library board, which has been kept advised of the potential loss of the grant fiinds, agreed at a recent meeting that even if the grant funds were reclaimed by the county, the building project would proceed. . The board will seek private donations to finance the Children’s Wing. A fund-raising campaign to solicit public -support for the project was launched earlier this month by the board. In addition to providing handicapped capabilities, including a barrier-free entrance and restroom facilities, the addition is expected to relieve crowded conditions in the present Children’s Room and also will be used for showing of films, said library officials. A projector and other movie equipment recently was LAST DAY OF REGISTRATION SCHOOL ELECTION Notice of Last Day of Registration of the Electors of MAPLE VALLEY SCHOOLS EATON AND BARRY COUNTIES, MICHIGAN TO THE ELECTORS OF THE SCHOOL DISTRICT: Please Take Notice that the Annual School Election of the School District will be held on Monday, June 14, 1982.

The proposed addition will be designed to coordinate with the historical preser­ vation guidelines governing any alteration to the present structure, which was designated in 1980 as a state Historical Site. The library is housed in the former Charles and Agnes Putnam home, built in the winter of 1884-85. It was willed to the village in 1921 by the Putnams for use as a public library, and has served the community in that capacity since Sept. 1923. The library is supported by the village, which as owner of fhe property also is responsible for maintenance of the facility, and by payments from the town­ ships of Castleton and Maple, Grove, plus some state monies. The Putnam bequest also included a $10,000 en­ dowment fund. In other business Thur­ sday, the council: — Agreed to hire L.

Teachers employed in the program will be Cathy VanderMolen, Norma Sherman, Mary Vliek, and Jean St. Andrew. Mr. Christensen is checking to determine the aides who desire to return this sum­ mer, and there most likely will be some openings for aides. A request for an unpaid maternity leave for Audrey Watson covering the first two marking periods of the 1982-83 school year was table-pending further in­ formation and clarification related to using sick leave, days as stated in the master agreement. The board members voted to purchase two IBM selectric typewriters at a cost of $1,377 and to also trade in six IBM machines with a trade in allowance of $150 per machine. Approval had been given at the March board meeting to purchase four new selectric machines. The board approved a revision in the student drug policy to include look alike substance also. If anyone has any questions regarding this policy they should contact Jr.-Sr. High School principal Burr Hartenburg. Hartenburg presented general information related to the comprehensive examination program which will be part of the driver education program. Students may now take an examination prior to taking the class to pre-determine the students competence. Students scoring 90 per­ cent or higher will not be required to take any classroom instruction and will be permitted to take an in-car driving test. Those students scoring less than 90 percent on the written examination will be ex­ pected to take the regular 30 hours of classroom /instruction. Those students scoring 90 percent or higher on their driving examination will be issued their permit. The examination will be given in the Jr.-Sr. High School cafeteria on Saturday, May 1 at 9 a.m. Further information may be obtained by contacting Mr. Hartenburg or Mr. Kipp. Students may enroll in the regular course and are not required to take the com­ petency examination. Approval was given a request received from Merlin Steward to hold a benefit garden tractor pull for muscular dystrophy at the high school parking lot on May 23. Further information may be obtained by-con­ tacting Steward at 726-1026. Approval was given the employment of Ballard Phillips as a substitute custodian at a rate of $4.50 per hour for a period of approximately six weeks replacing Kim Hansen who is recovering from surgery. The low bid submitted by Harold Thompson was ac­ cepted in the amount - of $1,221.50 for the installation of the sewer line at the bus garage. The board members voted to pay the cost of the work done at the Fullet Street track field by Duane Hamilton Excavating, Inc. out of the athletic account. The cost is in the range of $200 to $300. A general discussion was held regarding notification of parents of bus students in emergency transportation situations or days when it is impossible to hold afternoon kindergarten or when the morning kindergarten students might be kept late and sent home on the regular route if school is dismissed early for all students. Richard Byrd was present at the meeting and ex­ pressed his concern related to a situation the week prior to spring break when his seven-year-old daughter was left off the bus alone at the Corner of M-66 and Thornapple Lake road to walk down Thornapple Lake Road because the county had placed a road closed sign at the corner. He felt that the garage personnel or per­ sonnel at Fuller Street school should have made more of an attempt to contact his wife, or someone and let them know that the school bus would not be bringing their daughter home at night. Another member in the audience commented on the fact that his wife hadn’t always been contacted this year ifthere was a change or delay in the noon, kin­ dergarten transportation program. Transportation supervisor Gerald Aldrich stated that they would check these situations more closely in the future, and a general meeting is being held with elementary secretaries and administrators contacting parents- in such situations. A general discussion was held regarding the condition of the lights at both athletic fields. It was generally agreed that the board should attempt to get an estimate from a qualified electrician on repairs needed on the lights. There was also general discussion related to other costs such as main­ tenance of the athletic fields and equipment such as scoreboards with general agreement that this should be handled through the athletic boosters. A general discussion was held regarding the needed electrical repairs at Kellogg Elementary School. A proposal was submitted by Hickey Electric, but no action was taken considering that this was the only quotation received. This matter will receive further attention at future board meetings. Superintendent Wolff informed the board mem­ bers of the cash flow problem which could easily develop in June considering that the June state aid' payment due the firstof June will not be received until after June 20, plus the fact that the delinquent tax money Mil not be received from both Barry and Eaton counties until late in June. The school district will have a large payroll to meet the last day of school June 9 plus the payment of general fund bills on June 14. Ap­ proval was given Superin­ tendent Wolff to file the necessary application forms with the State Department of Education to obtain approval to borrow a maximum of $225,000 to meet these ex­ penses early in June if necessary. Any action to borrow would be necessary at a future meeting. Tom Joostberns presented a check to the board members from the athletic boosters in the amount of $8,102.19 .to cover the cost of the billing sent to the athletic boosters related to expenses incurred during the winter sports season. Letters were received from Maplewood special education teachers Glenna MacDonald and Debra Clift regarding the number of students enrolled in the program and their desire to have additional teacher aide time made available in these programs. This matter will be check further before being considered for any possible change. An executive session was held to discuss negotiations which have started with the Eaton County Education Association (Maple Valley Teachers).

The day will be sponsored by the Nashville PTO to help take the place of field trips which have been discon­ tinued by the schools. The children will ex­ ' perience old time crafts and daily living demonstrations as found in pioneer times. Some of the ideas being considered for the day are shelling and grinding corn, rope making, churning butter, dipping candles, weaving, spinning, blacksmithing, using a cross cut saw, possibly square dancing, washing clothes with a washboard, quilting, whittling or wood carving and making soap. However, definite plans have not been made at this time. The PTO wants to en­ courage community par­ ticipation in this project and persons interested in helping with or demonstrating one of the above crafts, or any other, are asked to contact Merry Ossenheimer at 852­ 1674. Volunteers need not have children in school as the PTO is seeking the help of all who are interested in helping the children understand the past.

Eaton County get-set-go rabbit show plannedThe Eaton Raiders 4-H Rabbit Club is sponsoring a rabbit show on Saturday, May 8. The show will be held in the red barn on the Charlotte fairgrounds and will begin at 10 a.m. The carrying case show is open to all 4-H members between the TV personality continued from front- companied by his wife Betty, commented that he was the “only man in the house tonight,” adding that, though he speaks to many groups, it was the first time he could recall such an occasion. In journalism since 1949, Evans has been with Channels since 1963, and this month won an Associated Press award for his feature reporting in the “On the Michigan Road” series, which he has been doing for the past 10 years. In his career as a straight newsreporter before com­ mencing the feature series, Evans had covered all the U.S. presidents starting with Harry S. Truman. He talked briefly about Gerlad R. Ford’s ability to speak without notes, and told anecdotes about two presidents proceeding Truman: Franklin Delano Roosevelt and “silent” Calvin Coolidge. “Even in the seriousness of covering presidents, there was always something of a frivilous nature,” said Evans, whose merry sense of humor is an obvious trait. The - “On the Michigan Road" series had taken Evans to many remote areas of the state, sometimes into terrain so rough that he and the cameraman were ages of 9 and 19 and there are pee-wee classes for youth 8 years old and younger. Entry forms are available from the Eaton County Cooperative Extension Office, 126 N. Bostwick, in Charlotte; or from the show secretaries Dorothy John- son, 7842 S. Clinton Tri, Eaton Rapids; and Lynnette S. Gallagher, 4191 Waverly Rd., Eaton Rapids. The mailed entry deadline is April 30, but late entries will also be accepted on show day until 10 a.m. obliged to abandon their TV van and hike into the area toting the video camera and other electronic gear. Evans spoke of the spectrum of color tours in Michigan; the soothing, hypnotic effect of various waterfalls; the beauty of Lake of the Clouds; Pictured Rocks; Cross Village; the Iron Mt. area (“All they’ve eyer known is unemployment”); Negaunee (“Four bars on every four corners of Main Street”); and Copper Harbor (“As far north as you can get in Michigan”). Of the countless stories Evans had done for his daily feature, aired at the noon and 6 pm local newscast slot, two stand out in his mind, he said. One was scaling the super­ structure of the 555-ft. high Mackinac Bridge. “Most people don’t realize how tall it is,” noted Evans. “After all, most people crossing over it are looking down into the water, not up.” Evans gave full credit to the cameraman who went ahead of him on the “long, arduous trip” to the top of the bridge. Gear was hoisted on a rope between the two men, so that Evans’ ascent could be filmed from above. They walked on I-beams “in the dark,” an experience Evans called “frightening.” He wore a portable microphone which recorded all his comments. “My editors were beside themselves figuring out how to use what I’d said on the air,” laughed Evans. Por­ tions of the tape had to be “bleeped” out. The second unforgettable adventure was scaling the Iron Mountain ski jump, the oldest Olympic ski jump in the world. Evans never did make it to the top. “I chickened out,” he quipped, noting that he had spotted an airplane flying nearby and realized that the plane was lower than he was. That’s' when the realization of height really hit him, he said. One of the most frequently re-run “On the Road” films shows Evans falling while roller skating, after being challenged to a race by a 12year-old girl. “I smashed my belt buckle along with my body,” laughed Evans. Another “disaster” scene occured during the filming of a canoe trip on the Pine River. Evans was flipped from the canoe along with much of the gear. His por­ table microphone continued to work while Evans clung to the canoe in chilly water. He became trapped in mud and finally had to be rescued by the cameraman who was on a nearby dock with the video camera. To do so, said Evans, the photographer had to abandon an agreed-upon policy that no matter what happens, the film keeps rolling. Some of the gear, wrapped in plastic bags, was salvaged. Evans added that the equipment carried to shoot the series is valued at between 70 and 80 thousand dollars. Evans told of many in­ teresting types of people he has met, including collec­ tors, artisians and craft­ smen. And he told of finding a real-life Santa in the back­ woods of northern Michigan. Not only the man’s ap­ pearance but his entire manner was very fitting of the Santa image. Evans said he saw proof of that in the eyes of a child talking with the old man. That report required few words. “Some stories write themselves,” concluded Evans.

The sapling was one of six recently donated to the school by Harold Christiansen, who several years ago launched a oneman campaign to replenish Nashville’s aging maples. The trees were planted Tuesday on the north side of the school, where it is hoped in time they will offer welcome shade to classrooms with windows facing that direction. Banfield told the youngsters witnessing the planting, that when they were seniors they could look back and recall that they helped plant the maples at Fuller St. School. ^ver-^oving Values lohnson & fJ Jo son Compact First Aid Kit $029 Boil n Soak, izK.

Money collected from the tax will be used to ease Michigan’s critical cash flow problems. IT’S A BIRD! IT’S A PLANE! IT’S THE EPA - Dow Chemical’s constitutional rights were violated recently when an EPA surveillance plane buzzed Dow’s Midland plant, looking for violations of the Clean Air Act. A federal judge ruled that the operation was a warrantless search, and therefore, unconstitutional. SPRING NOT CANCELLED While vicious rumors abound that spring has been cancelled, it has been learned that it has only been postponed until warmer weather arrives. In any event, many Michigan communities will celebrate spring’s arrival this weekend and you might be interested in marking these dates on your calendar: May 1, the Blossomtime Grand Floral Parade, St. Joseph-Benton Harbor, and the annual May Festival at Hill Auditorium, U of M campus, Ann Arbor; May 1-2, Heritage Days, Hampton Square Mall, Bay City, and the Italian Festival at Yack Arena, Wyandotte; and May 1-3, the Easter Flower Show, Belle Isle Conservatory, Detroit. CRACK DOWN ON WOODCHOPPERS - The Michigan Department of the Treasury is reminding people who cut and sell firewood that they must charge and report sales, tax. Michigan is losing hundreds of thousands of dollars annually because many lumberjacks are either unaware of or un­ willing to comply with the law. Four percent sales tax must be added to the cost of any firewood you buy or sell, and the report of the sales must be filed with the Treasury Depart­ ment in Lansing. Since the firewood industry is rapidly growing in Michigan, the added revenue is important to all taxpayers. 2,000 LAYOFF NOTICES SENT - While over 10,000 state employees have been laid off in the past eighteen months, the Department of Management and Budget issued 2,000 layoff notices last week to state employees in nearly all government departments and agencies. The layoffs could be averted if state employees agree to forego a proposed 5 percent pay raise this fall. State employee unions are reluctant to make concessions without the promise of future job security. The state is reluctant to agree to that because of Michigan’s uncertain economic future.

Through the generosity of the Nashville Lions, patients will be able to request use of the adapterat no additional charge, said Wade Nitz, director of finance- at Pennbck. The adapter device picks up a special signal and then prints out program dialogue on the television screen. Shows which utilize the special signal are noted in TV program guides. Patient’s wishing to use the adapter on a TV should contact the hospital’s ad­ mitting office. Making the presentation at the hospital last week were Lions Norman Stanton, club president; Dr. Hugh Overholt, president-elect; and Nelson Brumm, secretary. Nitz accepted the gift on behalf of the hospital. Brumm said the Nashville Lions express appreciation to the community • for its support of the club’s fund raising projects which make it possible to donate gifts to worthy causes. Much of the Nashville group’s fun- draising involves participation in a ^community maple syrup making project. Last month, Nashville and Lions Clubs from Hastings, Delton,, Woodland, and Middleville contributed $460 to purchase tele-caption equipment for both the Barry County Medical Care Facility and Provincial House in Hastings. Vermontville Historical Society plans ‘appreciation night’ Grateful for'the extra help that the Vermontville Historical' Society receives from friends in manning the museum during the Maple Syrup Festival the Board is extending an invitation to those non-members to be special guests at its next meeting, Thursday evening, May 13. The evgnt will begin with the usual 7 p.rp. potluck dinner in the Greswold Room of the Congregational Church. Dr. John Houdak, a faculty member of Western Michigan University, will be the guest speaker. Wade Nitz (left), Pennock Hospital's director of finance, accepts a telecaption TV adapter from members of the Nashville Lions Club: Norman Stanton, president; Dr. Hugh Overholt, president-elect; and Nelson Brumm, secretary.

The Nashville Fire Dept, was called out shortly before noon Saturday for a fire in a dumpster at the transferrecycling station on Casgrove Street, but the problem proved to be minor in nature. Nashville’s annual Spring Clean-up commences today. Trash (no garbage) will be picked up at curbside on Tuesdays and Wednesdays for two weeks. For homes on streets running east and west, the pick up days will be May 4 and May 11. For residents on streets running north and south, the collection by the village DPW crew will be made on May 5 and May 12. Village officials urge residents to separate recyclable materials, such as glass, metal and paper to make the trash more readily ac­ ceptable at the new transfer­ recycling station where the collection must be deposited. Brush and limbs also should be piled separately. Because of cost, continuation of the yearly pick up program depends upon the cooperation of residents in sorting materials placed at curbside.

Meade, a Nash­ ville native now of Franklin, commented on two recent Memories of the Past stories, one being the Put­ nam family history and the other the Everts Meat Market. “I remember as a boy I had a small savings account at the State Savings Bank,” wrote Meade. “Whenever I saw Mr. Putnam I thought how distinguished he looked.” (Our story had noted that Charles Putnam was president of the bank for a number of years.) Meade continued: “It was sur­ prising to read... that he arrived in Nashville as a ‘drifter’. His success story is like one of the beros of an Horatio Alger book that I used to read so avidly when I was young. Only in America can young people succeed like that. Today it is more difficult to do without a good education but I still believe hard work and stick-to-itiveness will accomplish a great deal.” Meade noted that Mrs. Putnam was the aunt of two men whom he later met as General Motors executives: Ormond E. and John H. Hunt, brothers who grew up in Saranac and in the early 1900s used to drive to Nashville in a horse­ drawn vehicle to visit the Putnams. Kenneth Meade had nostalgic thoughts about the Everts Meat Market. He wrote; “When I was in high school and had any extra, money, my favorite lunch was a cinnamon roll bought at the bakery, a banana at Kraft’s grocery and a piece of bologna from Everts’ market. The whole lunch cost no more than 10 or 15 cents in the 1920s. Probably cost at least a dollar and a quarter today and would not taste as good.” Mrs. Eliza Emery of Nash­ ville accompanied Mrs. Don Shepard of rural Eaton County to Hastings Saturday for shopping and later dinner at the Tick Tock restaurant. En route home, the ladies called on Eliza’s son andr family, the Wesley Emery s of Hastings. The Joe Andrews family of Nashville were hosts last week to Elias Lahdesmaki, brother of Katariina Lahtlesmaki, a Finnish ex­ change student residing this school year with the An­ drews. Elias came to America from Nigeria where he had just completed a 3­ year tour of duty at the Finnish Embassy. His wife and 2-year-old son are already in Finland, as the Elias Lahdesmakis are expecting a baby about June 1. After 25 hours en route, he arrived Thursday at Detroit’s Metro Airport and was greeted by Katariina and the Andrews family, after which all called on Mrs. Andrews’ parents at Wayne. On Friday Elias drove to Pinconning with Katariina and host-sister, Diane An­ drews, to visit a cousin of the Lahdesmakis. Saturday afternoon the young people enjoyed horseback riding at the Andrews place, seeing the Robert Oaster’s Belgian horses, and visiting Norman and Nyla Stanton at their farm near Dowling. Sunday, after attending services at ATTENTION Vermontville Residents The Vermontville Village Council will hear any presentations regarding Cable T.V. set-up on May 6,1982 from 7:00 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. in the public library.

Elias’ plane was delayed twice but finally lifted off about 5 p.m. He was to fly to Sweden to pick up a new car to take on to Finland. The Andrews family enjoyed his visit and welcomed the opportunity to become acquainted with another member of Katariina’s family. Her other brother visited here at Christmastime.

Joining the local teens for the Lock-in was the Impact Team of teens from the church district. Before the local all-night session commenced, the Impact Team presented a gospel concert for the Nashville church.

The Americans visited factories, which actually are craft centers, to see the carving of jade and ivory, weaving, embroidery, making bf sandalwood products, and processing of silk. 470 E. Main, Vermontville They wereamazed to learn that 1,000 meters of silk thread can be extracted from one small cocoon no larger than a pecan. There is no automation in the fac­ tories; everything is done by hand. And the Americans noted with interest that even in the craft centers where very fine work was being done, few Chinese wore eyeglasses. A guided tour took the NASHVILLE, MICHIGAN Americans throughout what was reputed to be a typical Chinese home but reactions Call 852" 1909 for details. of a small child living there convinced the visitors that by Susan Hinckley Dr. and Mrs. Hugh Overholt of Nashville vacationed recently in a country few Americans ever hope to visit: the People's Republic of China. Actually, the trip was sort ofa working vacation for Dr. Overholt, owner of the Nash­ ville Dental clinic. He was one of ten dentists in a group of 25 Americans visiting China under a professional exchange program of the Sino-American Technological Exchange Council and the China Association of Science and Technology. Doctors, den­ tists, engineers and other American professionals are welcomed in China for the knowledge they can share with their Chinese coun­ terparts. A flight from San Fran­ cisco took the group to Tokyo, Japan, where they boarded a Chinese airliner for the balance of the trip to Peking (now renamed Beijing, meaning “northern capital”). Overholt and the other American dentists spent much of the 3-weeks stay teaching Chinese dentists various modern dental Give Mom ° Gift of Beauty for Mother's certj5sSss Day at... the Village Hair Port 726-0257. . 726-0623 Men’s Slow-Pitch • TOURNAMENT • May IS and 16 70.00 Plus 2 Balls An exquisite sandalwood fan is just one of many lovely souvenirs of China treasured by Carleen Overholt and her husband, Dr. Hugh Overholt of Nashville.

(Maple Valley News photo by Susan Hinckley) the residence was frequently used as a “show place” for the benefit of foreigners. Even so, the dwelling was not modern by our standards. In the kitchen, located in a building separate from the bedroom-living quarters, a meal was being cooked in a large wok over a ’woodwood­ shavings fire. Most Chinese homes are concealed from casual view by walled courtyards. Almost all buildings are constructed Of brick or other forms of masonry, due to the wood shortage which also is responsible for the nation’s energy problems. Soft coal is used for heating, adding to heavy air pollution. Most public buildings are unheated. The Americans found heat in the majority of the hotel rooms where they stayed, but hallways, lobbies and restaurants were not heated. Like the natives, the Americans often were obliged to dine while wearing their coats and hats. A typical restaurant dinner might consist of 7 to 10 small-portioned courses, including soup; two kinds of meat, usually poultry and fish (nobeef); peanuts; back choy, mustard greens and other vegetables.

Overholt was one of 10 American dentists who recently spent a 3-weeks working vacation in China, sharing American dental know-how with their Chinese counterparts. Western professionals in many fields now are being welcomed in communist China under a science and technology exchange program.

Chinese food is just not the same as American food, concluded the Overholts. They were served bean sprouts only once, reports Carleen and those were of excellent quality. She had the privilege of visiting the kitchen of a major restdurant in Nanjing to watch food preparation. Because antiquated septic systems cause widespread pollution in China, tap water cannot be used for anything other'than washing. Bottled water must be carried if one wishes a drink while away from home. Water is not served in restaurants. In­ stead, orange pop or beer are served as usual beverage choices. One may order.Jiot tea in a restaurant, out strangely it is served in a glass, not a cup. At special meals, wine and 180-proof mao tia are offered. Because of aridity and its mountains, most of China’s one billion people live on only 15 percent of the land which is arable, said Overholt. “Everywhere you go there are masses of people,” he noted. Mass transportation is' vital, but prirtative in many ways. The only autos in use are for governmnt officials. Overholt said the Russianmade vehicles reminded him of the styling of a 1959 Plymouth. The common people travel on bicycles, antiquated trains and tandem busses packed to the hilt. The tourists, on the other hand, were transported in spanking-new busses recently acquired by the government for that pur­ pose. The flight on the Chinese airline was a startling ex­ perience for the American group. There were no pre- • flight instructions about use of seat belts, etc., and the pilot started to taxi down the ruwaybefore the passengers were seated. The airports were virtually deserted; even in the large city ter­ minals there were only two or three planes in sight. Hotel accomodations for the visitors were adequate but -not up to American standards. “But we had the best they have,” noted Carleen Overholt. She and. the other American women visited a Chinese kindergarten where they saw 3-to-6-year-olds learning, but they saw no pencils, paper, books or other visual teaching aides. The children recited poetry, performed a graceful dance drill routine, sang songs of a political nature, and called numbers as the teacher rang small bells. Other slops inlcuded a visit to the 3,000-mile long, an­ cient and crumbling Great Wall of China, and an exciting boat ride on the 1,200mile Grand Canal which runs from Hangchow in the south to Beijing in the north. “It was really an ex­ perience,” said Overholt, who compared it to rush hour traffic in- Chicago. There were boats and junks of all sizes jostling one another oh the polluted waters of the canal. Overpopulation is one of China’s major problems. Officials advocate abortion and the government now has devised a financial incentive plan to encourage couples to Jimit their family to one child. Despite the poor economy, the people seem happy, noted the Overholts. “Nobody’s going hungry,” concluded Carleen. “Five years ago they were going hungry.” New Construction*Service«Remodeling •Sewer and Drain Work Halsey Plumbing LARRY HALSEY Licensed Master Plumber Ph. 517-543-6996 Serving Charlotte, Vermontville, Nashville - all ofEaton County 10% Discount on Labor for Senior Citizens^ Auto Service CENTER • QUALITY WORKMANSHIP • TRANSMISSION REPAIRS • BODY & BUMP SERVICE • WHEEL ALIGNMENT & BALANCING • TUNE-UPS & MUFFLERS • MAJOR OVERHAULS • BRAKES ' <EEPYOURCN\ Trowbridge Service 130 St Main St., VermontvJI.? - Ph. 726-0569 Vermontville news ■By Esther Shepard Mr. and Mrs. Ray Dooling and daughter and Bill Martins; a friend of Pat, of Clfhton, New Jersey, has returned home after spen­ ding a few days with Ray’s mother, Mrs. Almir'a Dooling, and Patrick.

May 4, 1982 — Page 8 Barry County Historical Society tours Putnam Library The ambience of gracious hospitality created by the original Mr. and Mrs. Charles Putnam greeted members of the Barry County Historical Society at their April meeting in Nash­ ville’s Putnam Library. LaDuska Sheldon, Ruth Brown and Janet Kellogg, librarian and staff, guided more than 30 members on tours of the library, its oil paintings and antique fur­ niture and the private papers and library of William W. Potter. A charming four foot sculpture of a boy and girl shielded by an umbrella, greeted museum visitors inside the front door. The images were rescued from discard when they were removed a few years ago to make way for a firefighters memorial at a nearby building. A Similar sculpture has been found in another state but the prigin of either is unknown. Librarian Sheldon pointed out a" mysterious aspect of construction of the Putnam house. On the south side an outside window is clearly visible, but it eludes ob­ servation or detection from within the house. It is located near the front stairwell which could contain a secret space or passageway. Ornate handcarved wood decorates woodwork and bookcases throughout the building. Children’s tables and chairs and other tables from the Lentz Table Co. which flourished in Nashville from 1869 to the 1950s, eight cane bottom oak chairs, and a beautiful French wall clock, appear among the other furniture given by the Putnam family. An pil painting by Eunice Priddy illustrating the Putnam Library hangs at the stairway. The four upstairs rooms of the library have been the object of community dedication. The Beedle Room was refurbished as a memorial by the children of John and Catherine Beedle who were in business in Nashville for many years.

The painting of the South Maple Grove Church was painted by local artist Mrs. Mary Holman. The screen was donated by the family of May McKinnis and it was painted by her. The balance of the fur­ nishings of this room were donated by Miss Betty Kuhlman. She is a descen­ dent of the Lentz family, industrial pioneers of Nash­ ville. The Michigan and local history room .was the library’s contribution to the celebration of the country’s Bicentennial. Sponsored by the Woman’s Literary Club and supported by Maple Grove and Castleton Townships, 'the room con­ tains books, pafnphlets, etc. pertaining to Michigan and to local history. Many pic­ tures and documents con­ cerning local residents have been donated to be housed in this room. The little model structures . were done by Rev. E. F. Rhoades; the hoya and Christmas cactus plants were given by Mr. and Mrs. Will Suntken. The Friends of the Library rare book room was redecorated by that group. The collection includes recently acquired but not yet catalogued manuscripts and published books, speeches and historical articles written by William W. Potter. Potter, a Maple Grove native, became the chiefjustice of the Michigan Supreme Court and upon his death was buried in Wilcox Cemetery on Cloverdale Road.

Director Oats can be raised at a profit in Eaton County. While not the highest income crop, with improved varieties and cultural practices, yields in excess of 125 bushels are not uncommon on good land. Time and Rate of Seeding Plant as early in the spring as the soil can be worked without causing soil com­ paction. Early planting allows the flowers to pollinate and the kernels to form before hot weather begins in the summer. Using a grain drill, plant 2 to 2’/2 bushels of seed-acre in moist soil at a depth of 1 to 2 inches. Compaction of soil over the rows with presshweels will result in more uniform stands. Seed Quality Varietal purity is im­ portant in getting the benefits of improved varieties. Certified seed gives you the best assurance of varietal purity. Recom- mended varieties include: AuSable, Mariner, Mackinaw and Korwood. Two new varieties Heritage and Ogle, available in 1983, have the potential to produce 200 bushels per acre. Seed Treatment Seed should be treated with an effective chemical such as Vitavax 200. This prevents infection by smuts, seedling diseases and other seedbome fungi. Weed Control A good vigorous stand of oats will help keep weeds under control. Chemicals such as 2,4-D, 2,4-DB or MCP will control most broad­ leaved weeds. Roundup (glyphosate) is registered and labeled for control of quackgrass and other perennial weeds as a nonselective herbicide prior to planting oats. Fertilization A soil test should be taken to determine the best rate and grade of fertilizer needed. Provide adequate nitrogen. Following a plowed-down legume and-or manure, 10 pounds of total nitrogen fertilizer may be adequate, but 40 pounds per acre of total nitrogen is recommended where no legume or manure is plowed down. Phosphorus and potassium are most efficiently used when banded with the fer­ tilizer attachment on the grain drill one inch below the seed. Banded fertilizer will help develop a vigorous plant even when the soils are somewhat cold in spring. Harvesting Oats are ready to harvest at about 13 to 14 percent moisture. Higher moisture reduces storability unless the seed is artifically dried or the crop is to be used as silage. For more information on raising oats, contact the Eaton County Cooperative Extension Service, 126 N.

How Nitrogen fertilizer rotes on corn ground Roger Betz Eaton County Agricultural Extension Agent, says every spring there are numerous questions concerning the most profitable rate of nitrogen (N) application. Betz says, many variables affect this rate and include: cost of nitrogen (cents-lb); value of crop ($-bu.); organic matter level of soil (percent); previous years crop; previous years nitrogen application; manure application; and an adverse climatic or en­ vironmental condition which created a yield reduction in the previous year. With corn figured at $2.55 and nitrogen at 17 cents the recommended most profitable N rate on land with a yield potential of 130 bu would be 160 lbs. of actual N applied per acre. If your soil organic matter was below 2 percent you should add 10-40 lbs. conversely, if O.M. is 4-8 percent you could subtract 20-40 lbs. If the previous crop was a 30-60 percent stand of alfalfa, you could reduce the amount applied by 40-60 ll?s. With corn silage as the previous crop, you should apply an additional 30-50 lbs. to the recommendation. The reason is because there are no corn stalks to decompose and release nitrogen. Manure can release from 4 to 12 lbs. of nitrogen per ton in the first year and 1 to 4 lbs. the second year. A yield reduction due to drought, poor stand, insects or disease will affect the recommended rate. This would apply only to medium and fine textured soils. From the total N applied, subtract 1 lb. N for each bushel of corn harvested and divide by 2. Example: 200 lbs. N and 80 bu corn 200 - 80 equals 60 lbs. of 2 " credit For more information concerning nitrogen rates and application on com and other crops, contact the Eaton County Cooperative Extension Service, 126 N.

The one percent increase in the state in­ come tax, which would expire on September 30, 1982, has been sent to a House-Senate conference committee for further study. CONGRESSIONAL DISTRICT PLAN VETOED - Calling it a “distortion of the political views of the Michigan elec­ torate”, Governor Milliken has vetoed a Congressional redistricting plan submitted by the Democrat-controlled Legislature. The question of Michigan’s new 18 district lines now lies with a three-judge panel in the federal court in Flint, comprised of two Democrats and one Republican.

From our readers— TO THE EDITOR: I have received a number of letters opposing House Bill 4150, which would allow school districts to collect taxes in areas where they are not now collected twiqe a year. This legislation passed the House of Representatives early in March and has been assigned to the Senate Committee on Education, of which I am a member. I anticipate ' that we will be considering this bill within the next few weeks. I am opposed to this bill for several reasons. Most of the areas that do not collect taxes twice a year are rural farm areas. Farmers would find it a great hardship to come up with from 50 per­ cent to 80 percent of their property taxes in the sum­ mer before they have sold their summer crops. I realize that collection of school taxes in January has caused a number of schools to borrow money early in the school year to meet their bills. However, changing the collection date of taxes would merely shift the burden of borrowing to the taxpayer. GARAGE SALE: Sat., May 8/626 Washington St., Nash­ ville, 8 a.m. Children’s and baby items. While it is true that collection of summer taxes might not be a burden in metropolitan areas that often have computers to assist them, many rural areas perform the paper­ work by hand and this would double their costs. For these reasons, I plan to actively work against passage of this legislation both in Committee if and when it might be considered by the entire Senate. If you wish to contact other members of the Education Committee, they are Senators Faxon, 373-7888; Pierce, 373-2406; Corbin, 373­ 1636; Kammer, 373-2417; Sederburg, 373-1734; and Mowat, 373-2426.

May 11. 1982 Nashville area little leaguers hold cleaning bee at ballfield by Susan Hinckley In a Saturday morning working bee, boys and girls of (he Nashville area Little League teams cleaned stones from the outfield,of a newly developed softball diamond. The field, located west of Nashville's Main Street stores, is a project of the Maple Valley Recreational Development Corp., and is one of two diamonds ex­ pected to be in use there within a month. The MVRDC (sometimes called the - Riverside Recreational Development Corp.) is developing the area in cooperation with the state Dept, of Natural Resources and the U.S. Dept, of In­ terior, Heritage Con­ servation and Recreation Services. Half the cost of the $34,000 project to build the facilities adjacent to the Thornapple River has been funded through federal grant monies. In addition to the dual ball diamonds, a picnic area is being developed on the river bank, said MVRDC president Larry Corkwell. He said that within a month or so, 10 picnic tables will .be placed in that area. Corkwcll also,, noted that spectator bleachers’arid player ben­ ches will soon be installed at the new ball fields. The south diamond is ready for use and the north diamond will be conjpleted shortly. The new playing fields are expected to relieve some scheduling pressure of games staged by recreational teams at the Maple Valley* high school field on Nashville Highway. M VRDC officials said that the youngsters will continue to play Little League games at. the Fuller Street School field because the concession stand is set up at that location. That facility is the only source of revenue for the Little Leaguers. Youngsters helping with Saturday’s cleanup of the new field were Nicole Kipp, Kelly Hickey, Catherine Varney, Tracy Roberts, Michelle Varney, Kim Bahs, Jennifer Thornton, Cindy Kesler, Ryan Rosin, Brandy Thornton, D. J. Lamance, Troy Boise, Mickey Shilton, Stanley King, Troy Teneyck, Ryan Hickey, Bobby Allen, Tim Schilz, Jenny Wolcott, Paul Schilz, Shane Teneyck, Marcy Goodner, Mitchell Ainslie, Sara Kenyon, Buffy Roberts, Faith Schilz, Tracy Roberts, Kathy Varney, Lisa Corkwell and Becky Cork­ well. Adults supervising the operation and helping with the cleanup were Larry and Susan Corkwell; David Hawkins, MVRDC vice­ president; and ‘Dennis Lamie, board member; plus Little League coaches Bill Varney, Gary Spidel and Marsha Ainslie. As a . reward for 'volun­ teering for the work project, the youngsters- each were presented with a ticket good for a free ice cream cone at Bob Jr.’s Ice Cream Parlor in Nashville, compliments'of owner Robert Fueri, Jr. New sign goes up at emergency services building An eye-catching addition to Nashville's North Main Street is the new emergency services sign located near the fire station .and the new ambulance department. The sign was painted last fall by local artist Dale Ann Morawski, who donated her time and materials except for the lumber which was supplied by the ambulance department. The crew installed the sign as soon as weather permitted this spring^ It carries the emergency phone number of 852-0810, a 24-hour dial to summon the Nashville-based ambulance or fire department. Both services use the same number. (Maple Valley News photo by Susan Hinckley) Outstanding citizenship award presented to 4-H leader | As a part of the National Volunteer Week program, Mrs. Marjorie Southworth of Mulliken was selected by the Eaton County 4-H Council to receive an “Outstanding Citizenship Award” from Representative Ernest Nash. Mrs. Southworth, a leader of the Busy„“B” Sewers and Knitters 4-H Club for 19 years, has also served as 4-H Council president and treasurer and has worked on numerous countywide committees. Throughout the years, she has shown un­ tiring and unselfish dedication to 4-H. The time, energy, enthusiasm and leadership she has put forth has been a positive influence on many young people’s lives. These Little Leaguers turned out for the work project and were rewarded for their efforts with a free ice cream cone at Bob Jr.'s Ice Cream Parlor, compliments of owner Robert Fueri, Jr. Adults pitched in to help with the project. Here, Little League coach Marsha Ainslie, left works with her son?.Mitchell, at right, and Kelly Hickey. Girls as well as boys pitched in for the volunteer work by Little Leagures. �The Maple Valley New*, Nashville, Tuesday, May 11.1982 — Page 2 Nashville News By Susan Hinckley sponsoring the Monday methods to obtain aids for books can be placed at the recent Sunday dinner guests Hastings were Friday library or with any FOL of Pam and John Pearson cSllers on Mrs. Shull, and better vis iop.

By Susan Hinckley Nashville Fire Dept, celebrates 100 years (Author's note: This month marks the Centennial anniversary of the Nashville Fire Dept. It was on May 5, I8K2 that the department of volunteer firefighters was officially organized. The Nashville Fire Dept, has been in continuous service since that time, saving lives and property for the past 100 years. In recognition of this milestone. Memories of the Past takes a look at the origin of the local depart­ ment. Portions of this article are from a Memories first published in August 1979.) What do the Maple Valley News and the Nashville Fire Dept, have in common? Both can trace their origin to the tenacity of a spirited 19-yearold named Orno Strong, who floated into Nashville in 1873 and established himself as the first editor-publisher of the Nashville News (a continuously published forerunner of the presentday Maple Valley News). For the next nine years, through the columns of his newspaper, Orno Strong became the leading advocate of organzing a village fire department and it is generally agreed that his editorial prodding was in­ strumental in the eventual formation of Nashville’s first volunteer fire department in May 1882. Strong wrote from experience about fire loss. Just five months after he opened his first News office on Main Street, the building was lost in a raging February 1874 fire that destroyed five downtown businesses. Strong’s office did not burn, but it was sacrificed to stop the wild conflagration leaping from building to building across adjacent frame structures. Those in command at the disaster scene decided the only way to halt the fiery chain was to remove the News office, to create a gap the flames could not bridge. Though slight of stature (he weighed only 135 lbs.), Strong and a dozen hefty men hastily salvaged his I, 100 lb. printing press and a few other possessions before several hundred men and two teams of oxen toppled Strong’s building and dragged it from the line of fire. The loss represented a sizeable financial blow to Strong, but the undaunted young publisher set up makeshift quarters elsewhere in the village and cranked out a News issue two days after the fire. A month later, he wrote: “We owe your apologies for the appearance .of the paper last week. It was very cold and the shanty in which we have been printing the News since the last disastrous fire is very poorly heated. As a consequence, the rollers were cold, the ink was stiff, and even with the heat of our devil’s remarks, we could not warm things up enough to do our usual first class job of printing.’’ In the same issue, Strong again had occasion to push for his favorite cause: “Added proof that Nashville needs a fire department came last Wednesday af­ ternoon when the rear part of J. B. Rasey’s house caught fire. The greater part of the building was saved by Herculean efforts on the part of the townspeople, but Mr. Rasey estimates about $300 damages done.” In November 1874, Strong still was prompting Nash­ ville officials to act: “Considerable talk is to be heard in regard to the need for a good village fire department and time seems ripe to accomplish same. Apparently many of our taxpayers do not wish to see a recurrence of the disastrous fire that swept the business district last win­ ter." A decade later, Strong’s dream had become reality. Nashville's fire department was organized 100 years ago this month with a company of volunteers, a 20-man capacity Rumsey fire engine, 400 feet of hose and a dozen leather buckets. Mechanized equipment, as seen in this 1920s photo, came later. Since 1884 Nashville's fire trucks have been based at the same North Main St. location. The station was first housed in back of town hall (in photo), 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. Later, the structure was renovated as a full-scale station. In 1947 Castleton and Maple Grove townships joined in support of the village fire department, which is now situated in a new building encompassing the old town hall site and that of an adjacent blacksmith shop. NASHVILLE HARVEST FESTIVAL AUG 26 27 . . Nashville’s volunteer fire department was organized in May 1882 with J. D. McCartney as chief. A Rumsey fire engine complete with hose and a dozen leather buckets was purchased that spring by the village from a Chicago maker of fire ap- LAST DAY OF REGISTRATION SCHOOL ELECTION Notice of Last Day of Registration of the Electors of MAPLE VALLEY SCHOOLS EATON AND BARRY COUNTIES, MICHIGAN TO THE ELECTORS OF THE SCHOOL DISTRICT: Please Take Notice that the Annual School Election of the School District will be held on Monday, June 14, 1982.

Dress uniforms for the firefighters had even been acquired, after an early June benefit ball at the local opera house raised funds for that purpose. Water for firefighting in those early days was a primary concern. It was stored in fire wells, large brick-lined cisterns still to be found (now drained) beneath many Main Street stores, sidewalks and streets. One cistern was situated under Strong’s new quarters on Maple Street. That building, still known as the old News " office, was built in the mid18703 as a primary school on Washington Street and was moved to its present site in November 1885 for use as Strong’s headquarters. Just as the cisterns were located at strategic points around town, so were hose carts. Whenever a fire oc­ curred, independent draymen would race their teams to haul the hose carts to the scene. A hose was dropped into the nearest fire well and about ten men would handle the pump. Rousing for Nashville’s fire equipment came in August 1884, when Strong noted: “A new frame engine house, 16x24 feet, has been built this week in the rear of the town hall, at a £ost of between $75 and $100. It will Continued on next poge > yMk In addition to saving lives and property for the past 100 years, Nashville's fire department has taken an active part in community events, including the tradition!1 al Harvest Festival.

Feighner and headed west to Oregon, where he later became a successful publisher of trade journals. Nashville’s fire depart­ ment continued to flourish and became an integral part of the growing community. Establishment of Nashville’s first municipal water supply in 1892 'was a giant step forward in firefighting. The move was inspired by Lentz Table Company, the village’s largest employer. When their factory near Main Street burned in 1891, the Lentz family agreed to rebuild in Nashville only if village fathers would guarantee an adequate water supply to prevent a repeat disaster at their new facility on the east side of town. The -following year, the Standpipe was erected in Waterworks (now Putnam) Park. The tank held 85,000 gallons of Thornapple River water. (Some 40 years later wells were driven to furnish municipal water that also was fit for drinking.) Next came a proper alarm system. Near Christmas 1898 the News noted that the “village council had ap­ pointed Frank Brattin and F. W. Knoll to investigate and report on some adequate fire alarm for the village.” By February 1899 the council had authorized erection of a “steel tower, higher than surrounding buildings, on Maple Street just off Main Street, upon which will be hung an alarm bell, to be rung in case of fire.” In late April, the News .informed readers that the new bell had been received and the 40-foot tower was expected in a week, “so we will soon have an efficient fire alarm.” Provisions were also made to awaken key firefighting personnel for nighttime fires. “A fire alarm has been placed on a pole in front of Brattin’s hardware and connected with the residence of D. L. Hullinger,” ex­ plained the News in October, “so that in case of fire he can The Maple Valley News, Nashville, Tuesday. May 11, 1982 — Page 5 be easily awakened.” In the early 1900s, after a phone system was established in the village, daytime alarms were also sounded on a steam whistle at the old pump house in Putnam Park. By dividing the town into numbered wards, village engineer Frank Russell could signal the location of a fire by blowing a pre­ determined number of blasts. Reports of fires were received by Russell on a pump house phone, the calls being relayed by operators at the central switchboard of the telephone office on Main Street. In time, modem siren systems replaced primitive alarms, and in 1954 the old fire bell which had been Priddys celebrate 50th An open house to celebrate the 50th wedding anniversary of Mr. and Mrs: Bruce Priddy will be held Sunday, May 23 at the Vermontville Congregational Church from 2 p.m. to 5 p.m. The reception is being given by the Priddys’ children — Mrs. Sam (Louise) Combs of Charlotte, Mrs. Darrell (Claudette) Hamilton of Nashville, and Duane Priddy of Midland.

(Only one had died in the line of duty.) Until 1947, the Nashville Fire DepL was operated by the village. That year, the townships of Castleton and Maple Grove joined in support and control of the department, which now covers all three govern­ mental areas as well as lending aid to surrounding departments under a reciprocal agreement. Equipment, department housing and training of volunteer firefighters and ambulance personnel (who now operate separately from the fire department) have been upgraded many times since the days of Orno Strong. But 75 years after that spunky writer pushed for village fire protection, another editor-publisher of the Nashville -News took a stand in support of the local firefighters. In November 1949, the late Donald F. Hinderliter wrote: “The Main Tavern fire early Monday morning was a striking example of the need of our fire department for improved equipment for entering smoke-filled buildings. If the firemen had been equipped with a couple Scott Air Packs 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 now are standard fire department equipment in Nashville. Orno Strong would be proud. Graduation Day. What ll hat better way to say it? From our readers DEAR EDITOR: Once again the hard work, the organization, and the spirit of a historic com­ munity paid off in the annual Vermontville Maple Syrup Festival. This year, unlike some of the immediate past, the weather was near per­ fect. A huge crowd took advantage of all of this and made 1982 a resounding success. It is always a pleasure to witness the obvious en­ joyment that so many people get in attending the festival. The Parade, the Arts and Crafts at the school, and the variety of food that local organizations offer add much to the festivities and the enjoyment of so many people. Car Insurance One name says it best. All of those who work so hard to plan and then to implement the Festival deserve words of praise and appreciation. When it is all over there has to be a lot of very tired but very happy people in Vermontville. I thought it very proper and fitting that the Festival honored the memory of a good and kindly man, the late Kenyon Peabody. It. was also most appropriate that Vern and Mary Trowbridge were honored for their long history of contribution to the Village and community of Vermontville. I have to admit that I am very pleased with the redistricting that affects Commissioner District No. 1. For the last ten years Ver­ montville has been split into two districts. Now all of Vermontville, all of Sunfield, and all of Roxand make District No. 1 the finest that any Commissioner could have the honor and privilege of serving. 1 am humbly grateful and happy to be a candidate to succeed myself in a district of so many wonderful people.

The 20-cent stamp commemorating the Library of Congress went on sale April 21. The Library of Congress extends services to all branches of the govern­ ment, researches and libraries throughout the nation and the world. It was created as a reference library for Congress only by President John Adams in 1800. After the British troops burned the Capitol, retired President Thomas Jefferson offered his extensive personal library — a collection of 6,487 books as a replacement. The stamp’s design is based on the Thomas Jefferson Building, the oldest of the library’s three buildings built in 1897, the John Adams Building opened in 1937 and the James Madison Memorial Building,- which more than , doubled the library’s space, opened April 24, 1980.

Remember when wood stoves were all there was, a time without the automobile, baking bread from “scratch”, washing clothes on a wash board, building a log cabin and weaving your own fabrics? Probably not, but school children will see this and much more at the annual “Visit With History” at the Historic Eaton County Courthouse on May 20 and 21. The Eaton County Historical Commission is inviting children from throughout the county to tour the Courthouse, surrounding historic sites and many displays and demonstrations depicting life in the area seventy-five to one-hundred years ago. Children have been stepping back in time for five years at the annual Historical Commission Michigan Week tours. Each year they have seen some progress in the restoration fo the beautiful Courthouse. This year, according to Betty McCartney who supervises the CETA crew working on the restoration, people who visit the Cour­ thouse will see “a lot of changes.” According to Betty, the Courtroom is finished, new paint has been applied to the Judge’s Chambers complete with beautiful designs and work is proceeding on the rotunda area. To give everyone an opportunity to share this bit of our heritage, the Historical Commission will continue the exhibits and activities on Saturday, May 22. Open to the public from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m., the day will offer ex­ citing opportunities. How hbout a motorcycle from the 1940s or maybe you would like to learn to dye your own fabric or maybe bake bread. These are just a few of the activities at the Historic Courthouse. Teachers, club leaders or individuals wishing to schedule tours should call the Old Courthouse, 543-6999 immediately.

Marked by a large yellow sign in the window, collec­ tion stations are gas stations, car dealerships, and automobile service centers that have agreed to accept used oil from do-it-yourself oil changers and store it until it goes to a refinery for re­ refining and reuse. County Extension Director, Allen Krizek, explains in Eaton County it is estimated that 75,000 gallons of used oil are wasted each year. Lacking an ap­ propriate disposal' site, gallons of oil are dumped on vacant lots, down storm sewers, and in trash cans. This wastes a valuable energy" resource, and pollutes both land and water.

The Lions defeated the Redskins 8-0 in the opener and then dropped the nightcap 16-5 in six innings. Sophomore right-hander Jeff Starring pitched four innings of three hit balls to pick up his first victory of the season against no losses. Tim Ramey pitched the final two innings to pick up the save. Starring also led the hitting attack with a pair of singles and two runs batted in. Junior right fielder Randy Joostberns also contributed two hits, in­ cluding a second inning triple. Also recording hits for Maple Valley were Eric Wolff, Tony Dunkelberger, Jeff Christensen and Rich Elliston. Maple Valley jumped out to a 2-0 lead in the second contest; but then fell apart, as Saranac scored two runs in the third, four in the fourth, five in the fifth and five runs in the sixth. Robert Simpson had a three-run homer and a grand-slam home run to lead the Red­ skins attack. The scheduled doubleheader with Lakeview on Thursday was postponed after three innings of play. Maple Valley led at that point 1-0. The games have serve two years. They receive a generous living allowance, paid travel and training, complete medical care and a readjustment allowance of $4,200 ($175 per month served). Since neither the living allowance nor the readjustment allowance in anyway affects social security benefits, retired professionals are particularly encouraged to consider the Peace Corps.

Nothvillo. Tuesday May 11. 1982 — Poge 10 Helping families deal with cultural exchange What is a 17-year-old student from Osaka. Japan doing in a typical American community? “We wanted a family education about the world.’’ says Betty Town­ send. She and her husband Earl are one of nearly 5,000 American families across the country who are hosting an overseas student this year under a program ad­ ministered by Youth for Understanding (YFU), one of the world’s larger secondary school student exchange organizations. “After we signed up and knew Noriko would be our daughter for a year, we started thinking about everything that could go wrong,’’ recalls Earl Townsend, “and we won­ dered if we'd be able to handle it.” The Townsends’ fears had been anticipated long ago, however. Ac­ cording to YFU Vice President Susan Greene, “most prospective host families don’t know how to prepare for their overseas son or daughter. But through the years we’ve become specialists in cross-cultural exchange and have devised many techniques to make the experience joyful and rewarding." The first step is matching host families with com­ patible students. “We ask parents and students a lot of questions about their in­ terests, activities, and personal values,” Greene states. “This information helps us solve many problems before they arise. We also know that there is a fairly predictable sequence, of reactions during the ex­ change. We call it the ad­ justment cycle.” “I suppose we imagined that Noriko would show up at the ^airport and then everything would be per- fect,” says Betty Townsend. Before the arrival, a YFU Area Representative con­ tacted the Townsends and invited them to the first of several program orientation workshops. Here they met others who had hosted in­ ternational teenagers. “They got us thinking about what to anticipate and how to deal with it,’’Earl Townsend says., “For example, they questioned our expectations about Noriko. We expected a rose garden, I think, but we learned about homesickness, language problems, and unexpected cultural dif­ ferences. Then we learned what we could do about them.” “Culture shock is a very real phenomenon,” Green points out. “After the initial excitement wears off, a student often feels over­ whelmed by the frustrations he or she encounters in a different culture.” Without Small business makes America work. Small businesses create two out ofeverv three jobs in America. Overall, the small business paych ck provides the livelihood of more than 100 million Americans. f .nail business not only keeps America working ... it makes America work. SMALL BUSINESS WEEK/MAY 9-15 SBK U.S. Small Business Administration •1 public service advertisement realizing it, the student may become withdrawn or depressed, and in response the host family may feel guilty, baffled, or resentful. “It’s very easy for parents to overreact when this hap­ pens,” comments one YFU Arqa Representative. “But if they are sympathetic and caring — and if they have some strategies in mind — they can give the student the emotional support he or she needs to get through difficult moments.” With YFU’s guidance, the Townsends discussed Noriko’s arrival with their own children. They took an inventory of their family’s habits and rules, and then imagined how the presence of a new family member might change them. They studied about Japan, boned up on American culture, and, because their own children are still in elementary school, did some reading about what teenagers; are like. “YFU supplied us with a wealth of resources,” Earl Townsend remarks. “We’re very impressed with their procedures and their thoroughness. It’s been a first-rate educational ex­ perience for all of us.” “YFU volunteers had other suggestions, too,” Betty Townsend comments, “such as making sure that Noriko writes her parents regularly. They also suggested that we correspond with them, and now we’re good friends even though we’ve never met.” YFU also arranged for the Townsends to talk with American youngsters who had lived abroad under YFU programs so they could better appreciate what Noriko is going through. When Betty and Earl Townsend have questions about dating, language problems, or Noriko’s social adjustment, YFU’s trained counselors are available to help, either at the local level orr at the organization’s Washington, D . C . headquarters. When it is time for Norikd to go home next summer, YFU will be there to help her and the Townsend family adjust to the separation. SHOP LOCALLY COMMUNITY SHOPPING PAYS OFF IN MORE WAYS THAN ONE! Your pocket or pocketbook reflects the family budget and these difficult days can play havoc with it. You must find ways to stretch every dollar by saving on the high cost of gasoline and getting the best bargains available. Where else but locally can you find friendly retailers, some your neighbors, who are interested in giving you the finest in service and savings. When you shop locally, your community prospers and civic improvements are supported by your taxes. The Maple Valley News—- “It’s really tremendous,” Betty Townsend exclaims. “We'll probably do it all over again next year.” At the very least, her husband adds, they will serve as YFU volunteers to share their knowledge and experience with other new host families. Each year YFU enables more than 7,000 students from the U.S.A, and 24 nations in Europe, Latin America and Asia and the Pacific to discover life in another land. YFU is now accepting applications from families to host students who will arrive in August.

The total number of trees purchased was 97,000, compared to 146,000 a year ago, a decline of about one-third, according to District Chairman Victor Nelson. Economic conditions and unfavorable spring weather appears to have been the main factors contributing to the down­ turn, said Nelson. The 97,000 trees purchased is enough to plant ap­ proximately 50 acres. Nine varieties of conifers (evergreens) and five varieties of hardwood trees and shrubs were available this year. The trees and shrubs were purchased for a wide variety of reasons, including reforestation, windbreaks, erosion control, wildlife habitat improvement, etc. Nelson noted that since 1938, soil conservation districts have been the leading force in assisting land users to plant trees and shrubs. Through district efforts, hundreds of thousands of acres are protected from wind and water erosion, throughout Michigan. Additionally, countless thousands of acres, best adapted to growing trees, have been reforested. Wildlife habitat has been provided as a. result of erosion control and reforestation as well as from thousands of wildlife plan­ tings. Generally referred to as the district tree sale program, it may be misnamed when the results of the program are con­ sidered. In 1981, Michigan Soil Conservation Districts were instrumental in bringing about reforestation of 17,440 acres of privately owned land, 2,350 acres of erosion control plantings, establishment of 627 acres of wildlife plantings and establishment of 443 miles of two-row windbreaks. These results, of course, involved the efforts of many agencies and people, not the least of which is the land owner who voluntarily carried out these conservation measures. However, soil conservation district leadership remains the significant factor in these accomplishments, Nelson said. M.V. Squares plan dance The Maple Valley Squares went pn a Destination Unknown Dance on April 17. After having dinner at the United Methodist Church in Woodland, the club traveled to the Valley View School in Battle Creek and were guests of the Buckles and Bows Square Dance Club.

Bean producers will have the potential to achieve yield increases upwards of 30 percent over standard varieties if they use new seed that will be available soon. Developed at the Michigan State University Agricultural Experiment Station (AES), the releases include two white navy types and two black varieties. The four are Swan Valley and Neptune (white); Domino and Black Magic (black). A unique feature of this new generation of varieties is their upright characteristic which features a longer stem and less branching which keeps pods higher from the ground. This enables narrower rows and direct harvesting. “Swan Valley,” says Wayne Adams, AES researcher and bean plant breeder, “has the capability of yielding in the range of 30­ 35 hundredweight (cwt.) per acres. Yields of the other varieties, though com­ parable, are somewhat less.” The average bean yield over the state is little more than 12 cwt. per acre. “Under favorable con­ ditions, they perform better than any other white or black bean we’ve had,” Adams says. The increase in yield is achieved through a com­ bination of more beans per plant, more plants per acre, and reduction in harvest losses because of the taller, less branching architecture of the plant. Disease resistance, im­ portant in Michigan, has also been bred into the beans, Adams relates. The four are not susceptible to rust, bronzing, mosaic, or to several strains of an­ thracnose. They are also less prone to white mold because the bean pods are held above the mud and water. Adams says that for the best performance of these new varieties, they should be planted early on reasonably fertile, noncompacted soils, in narrow rows and at high plant populations per acre. Long season weed control and good moisture are also important. The breeding process took four years before promising selections were isolated and another three years-for seed testing and purification. It began with tropical black bean type and included one chemically mutated to a white bean, crossed with navy bean germ plasm that is adapted to Michigan field conditions. Field trials have con­ firmed nearly everything Adams and his team sought. “We know what we wanted, and fortunately, we got a close approximation to it,” Nashville Tops No. 1424 Congratulations this week to Cindy for most pounds lost.

The research team consisted of Adams, Alfred Saettler, George Hosfield, Ardeshire Ghanderi, James Kelly, Jerry Taylor and Nancy Glandon. Adams believes that high production and good price can be achieved with these beans because they enable production to offset in­ creasing costs of «land, energy and machinery. “This will- help Michigan agriculture stay in the bean business,” Adams says. “And it will stay in business only if we continue to maintain an aggressive agronomic research program.” Cooperating agencies in the t>reeding program are MSU AES, Michigan Bean Commission, the Rockefeller Commission, Michigan Dry Bean Research Board'and the USDA. Plans finalized for 'Spring Fest' May 22 An old-fashioned tub thumping, mug wumping speech on the village green will be one of the highlights of Springfest at Charlton Park. Barbara Furrow, co­ chairman of the event, reports that Jerry Roe, a member of the Michigan Historical Commission, will give the rousing speech with remarks addressed at the continuing support of the park. Roe has been frequently invited to Hastings as a speaker. After a career in state politics, he now operates a public relations agency in Lansing. Spring Fest, set for Saturday, May 22, is a benefit event sponsored by the Barry County Historical Society. Proceeds are earmarked for operation expenses at the park this summer. The Spring Fest Invitations Committee, comprised of Diana Phillips, Barbara Furrow and Diane Hawkins, have mailed or handed out invitations to more than 300 persons. Organizers are billing the event as a “gala evening with good food and good company.” Features are a progressive dinner throughout the historic village, a costume contest, and a song fest at the church. Strolling musicians will provide entertainment. The menu at Spring Fest will include wine and cheese, roast pig, salad, vegetables, and desserts. Dinner will be served at two separate times: 6 and 8 p.m. Kathryn Ferris, chairing the food committee, reports overwhelming cooperation from community groups and individuals. Services and costs of the event have been donated so all proceeds of the evening will go directly to the park. Tickets are $12.50 per person and the event will be held, rain or shine.

Tuesday, May 11, 1982 — Page 13 Now Leila Lifeline offers security of emergency assistance to area Your grandfather is rather feeble, tends to -be ab­ sentminded and lives alone. Or, perhaps your mother has a heart condition and also lives alone. What would happen if either of these persons experienced a life threatening situation in the solitude of their homes? This is a common concern of many families. While elderly people wish to continue living independent lives, they fear what may happen if nobody hears their call for aid. With Leila Lifeline, a new community service spon­ sored by Leila Auxiliary and Leila Hospital, someone will hear them and respond immediately. Designed to give persons a feeling of security, the Leila Lifeline electronic system offers help with the push of a button. Leila Hospital has pur­ chased necessary equipment and this new community service is now available to residents of the Battle Creek area. For a nominal monthly rate, an individual can subscribe to Leila Lifeline. As a subscriber, they receive a portable transmitter and a telephone attachment. Should an emergency'occur, a touch of the button on the transmitter . automatically alerts Leila Hospital’s 24­ hour emergency trauma center. The emergency trauma center immediately telephones the subscriber to determine what assistance is needed. If there is no answer, the hospital’s trained staff immediately, calls to dispatch someone, such as a neighbor or relative, to the scene. These are persons designated by the subscriber who have volunteered to be responders and who have access to the residence. The emergency trauma center staff also has a summary of the individual's medical conditions and can summon an ambulance or other appropriate community assistance. In addition addition to the emergency button, a timer system is incorporated into the telephone attachment. If it is not reset, an alarm is activated at Leila’s emergency trauma center, and personnel will telephone to see.if assistance is needed. Auxiiians Lois Capper and Mary Byrne are serving as co-coordinators of the program. The coordinators indicated the auxiliary'hopes service clubs, civic groups and others would become in­ terested in the service and perhaps purchase additional equipment to extend the program to more people. Anyone interested in eligibility requirements for subscribing may telephone Leila Hospital, 962-8551 ( extension 275). The Lifeline program was invented by Andrew S. Dibner, Ph.D., a Boston University professor of clinical psychology. The program was initiated in Boston in 1976 and is now being implemented in other areas. How about hosting an exchange student? Five thousand American families will qualify this year to host carefullyselected high school students from 24 countries for a year, according to Youth for Understanding.

Stocks of corn and oats were above last year while wheat and soybean stocks were lower, according to the Michigan Agricultural Reporting Service (Federal-State). Corn stocks at nearly 154 million bushels were up 42 percent from last year. Of the total corn on hand, 76 percent was stored in' onfarm facilities. The major factors behind the larger amount in storage are the record corn crop produced in 1981 and the low corn price. Corn prices for the current marketing year have con­ sistently been below last year and have discouraged additional movement. Oat stocks of 6.7 million bushels accounted for a 6 percent increase from last year. Of the oat stocks on hand, about 78 percent were stored in onfarm facilities. Wheat holdings of over 12 million bushels were down 19 per­ cent. Soybean stocks were down 11 percent with nearly 13 million bushels in storage on April 1.

WELFARE REFORM TAKING HOLD - Recent reform of Michigan’s welfare programs is beginning to show positive results for the state’s taxpayers. 'A federal review of Michigan Aid to Families with Dependent Children (AFDC) shows a drop in misspent funds to 7.2 percent, Michigan’s smallest error rate ever. In 1974, the error rate reached a high of 14.7 percent. OIL AND GAS INDUSTRY AIDS MICHIGAN’S ECONOMY - While most areas of Michigan’s economy in­ dicate historical lows, the oil and gas industry in the state is posting ajl-time highs. Revenues from Michigan’s oil and gas severance tax, for example, are up 76 percent from last year. In dollars, that means $82.7 million has been added to the state treasury during the past year. And on June 8-9, the Department of Natural Resources will be taking bids on oil and gas drilling rights for 55,472 state-owned acres in 13 northern lower Michigan counties. PROFITS FROM DRt’G DEALING -'Illegal profits and assets from drug dealing could be turned over to the state treasury under Republic-sponsored legislation recently introduced in the Michigan House of Representatives. The propsed law, used together with the new federal Civil Forfeiture Law, would allow the state to seize bank ac­ counts, property and money if it could be proven that they were earned from drug dealing, because illegally ac­ cumulated assets fall under the civil law, they can be for­ feited even if there is no criminal conviction. Had the proposal been enacted last year, it would have provided over $5 million in additional revenues for the state. NEW BALLOT PROPOSAL INITIATED - A proposed state constitutional amendment petition drive has begun and the proponents of the measure would like to allow public schools charge fees for certain non-academic programs to ensure that programs such as sports, music, and other extracurricular activities are not cut from financiallystrapped school systems. A recent ruling from the Attorney General’s office states that charging students (or parents) fees for participation in school-sanctioned programs or activities is unconstitutional.

M«y 4 thru May 10 �The Maple Valley News, Nashville, Tuesday, May 18, 1982 — Page 4 Memories of the past Pictorial review of Nashville’s Dept. (Author's note: Last week's column traced the origin of the Nashville Fire Dept., founded May 5, 1882. In further recognition of the centennial milestone and for our readers' enjoyment, this week we present several additional photos in honor of the volunteer firefighters, past and present, who have helped keep Nashville and environs safe for 100 years.) Jim Hummel, left, at age 82 was still a member of the Nashville Fire Dept, when this picture was taken for Grand Rapids Press publication in!948. (in large 1895 group photo, Hummel is seated at left in front row.) He joined the NFD on Nov. 28, 1891, and chalked up 57 years service, thought to be a state record for volunteer firefighting. With him is Dell White, who at age 72 had fifty, years service. Jim was a hydrant man; Dell handled the hose. '(Photo by Gladys Miller Richardson) Officers of the Nashville Fire Department are, from left: Ass't. Chief Larry Decker; hief Douglas Yarger; Secretary-Treasurer Gale Wetzel; Lt. Michael Appelman; and Capt. Earl Wilson. (Maple Valley News photos by Susan Hinckley) The Nashville Fire Dept, was jusi i o years old when this photo was taken in 1895 in front of Town Hall on North Main Street (site of present-day fire station). A renovated Methodist Church, the building had rear quarters for fire equipment storage. Dress uniforms for the firemen were acquired with funds raised at a benefit ball at the local opera house. Seated, from left, are: Jim Hummel, Frank Brattin, Art Smith, Claude Hough, Al Weber, Ben Hecox, Charles Walrath. Second row: Allen Bell, William Irland, Sam Cosier, Earl Townsend, Emmett Smith, Ray Townsend, Jasper Deeds, Frank Dickinson, John Messimer, Bert Parody, Red Smith, Ed Partello, A. N, Appelman, Len Feighner. Back row: John Ketchem, Taylor Walker, Sam Bailey, Frank Hummel, Ed Keyes, George Downs, John Appelman, Jay Perry, Danna Jones, Herb Brown. Treasured keepsakes of the Nashville Fire Dept, are two old fire hats. Although the exact age of the metal helmets is unknown, it is believed that they may date back to the early years of the local department. Keepers of the hats are Michaell Appelman, left, and Wesley Erwin. Appelman is the grandson of longtime Nashville fireman Jim Hummel. His paternal grandfather is A. N. Appelman, also an early NFD member. Nashville Fire Dept, as it is todayAfter 100 years, the Nashville Fire Dept, has a smaller staff but more firefighting efficiency due to specialiized training and modern equipment. Nashville's first volunteer department was trained by an agent of the Chicago firm which in 1882 sold the village its first fire ttruck, a Rumsey engine complete with hose and a dozen leather buckets. Today's volunteers are trained by professionals to meet state requirements for certifi certifi-­ cation. Members of the Nashville Fire Dept, (with years of service shown after each name) are, from left, front row:: Capt. Earl Wilson (9); Lt. Michael Appelman (23); Asst. Chief Larry Decker (18); Chief Douglas Yarger (22); Eldon Day (34); Wesley Erwin (18); Robert Wood (19). Back row: Gale Wetzel, secretary-treasurer (10); John Joseph (6); Pat Powers (3); and John Mason (10). Three firemen were absent when photo was taken. They are: Jerry Kent (25); Lee Christopher (20) and Curt Scrqmlin (3). �The Maple Valley News. Nashville. Tuesday.

On the ground floor of the former Cuyler building, Curtis Enterprises operates an arts and crafts shop while doing custom precision machine tooling in rear quarters. Upstairs, a professional photographic studio and a newly-opened blackpowder gun shop are in operation by individual proprietors renting quarters from the Curtis Enterprises. Owner Vernon Curtis, in business in that location since 1978, carries a full line of arts and crafts materials in his Craft Center. Included are items for macrame, yarn and needlework, cold ceramics, country (tole) painting, jewelry-making, beadwork, etc., plus supplies for all mediums of art: watercolor, oil and acrylic. A painting of his family by Vernon Curtis is one of several on display at Curtis Craft Center, where a full line of arts and crafts supplies are offered. Door prizes and craft demonstrations will be part of the open house event. Vernon has painted for a number of years. Seen in this work are he and his wife, Shirley, (in center of picture) and their children, from left: Eric, Wayne, Sarah, Ivan and Craig. The family pets also were included: Casper, the cat, and dogs Megan and Melody. • • • • • Lemon-Lime Cherry Orange Grape Raspberry LARGE MEDIUM SMALL One Week ONLY In addition, he recently has added a line of unusual artistic greeting cards, Christian books, coins and stamps, and also carries a selection of both costume and fine jewelry. In the rear quarters of his building, Curtis operates Curtis Machine and Tool, where he does custom precision machine tooling. This business was started four years ago with just two pieces of equipment: an engine lathe and a milling machine. Now, business has grown to the point that Curtis has in operation five lathes, eight milling machines, three cylindrical grinders and other miscellaneous equipment. The company contracts custom machine tooling for many manufacturers. Some of the Curtis work has been part of the production of ventilators of Boeing jet aircraft, and other Curtis products have ended up, via manufac­ turers, in several foreign countries, including several in South America. Ip addition to Curtis and two of his sons who work full­ time in the business, the company employs six people. Also helping out in a part-time capacity are three other Curtis children and Vernon’s wife, Shirley. The Curtis family is active in the Ainger Bible Church of Olivet. A lifelong area resident, Vernon has enjoyed painting and other arts and crafts for a number of years. He has been both exhibitor and organizer for several local art shows. During the Friday and Saturday open house, craftsmen will be on hand to demonstrate various arts. The public is invited to stop by and browse at the line of merchandise in the Craft Center. Curtis also will conduct guided tours of the machine shop. During the event, a drawing will be held every 15 minutes to award door prizes which include such things as a watch and jewelry, both in the $30 price range; a cutlery set; and $10 pocket calculators. Also, both a Dutch Auction and Silent Auction will be conducted to allow visitors to bid on merchandise items designated for that event.

Those slender green shoots are delicious to eat, low in calories and high in vitamin G and C, and they make a refreshing change from our winter menus. When buying asparagus, choose firm, crisp, bright green spears. The tips should be tightly closed-and bright green to purplish green. Medium to thick spears are Mace Pharmacy 207 N.

Overcooking, indicated by a change in color, means flavor and vitamin loss. If you want to pick yw own fresh asparagus, look for pick-your-own farms.

She was granted an unpaid leave of absence per her request. Robert Dormer voted no. In other business May 10, the board members ap­ proved a change in the elementary instrumental music program which will have band beginning in the sixth grade instead of the fifth grade. Instrumental music teacher Duane Thatcher recommended that this change be made, and anyone desiring further information regarding this band change should contact Mr. Thatcher. A general discussion was held regarding the number of students enrolled in the two special education classes being taught by Glenna MacDonald and Debra Clift. They would like to have additional teacher aide time provided in these two rooms. Special education coor­ dinator Bill Christensen stated that less aide time is provided this school-year in special education rooms, and this is generally true in other school districts within the Eaton Intermediate School District. Any additional costs for teacher aide time would be paid by the Maple Valley School District considering that the Eaton Intermediate School District will not assist with payment of costs in­ volved for teacher aides in the type of rooms operated by Maplewood Elementary School. This matter will be checked out further with the intermediate school office to see if possibly an additional teacher could be approved for the 1982-83 school year considering the number of students anticipated in these two rooms next fall. Bob Joseph made a request to have his second grade daughter be able to attend the Maple Valley Schools next school year on a tuition basis. At the present time, the school district will only accept tuition students who are enrolled in the eleventh or twelfth grades and have been in attendance at Maple Valley the prior school year. This request was referred to the policy committee, and action will be taken on this matter at the July board meeting. Approval Was given the employment of eight aides for the summer Title I as reading program recommended by director Bill Christensen. The eight aides include Pam Knoll, Cowell, x Cathy Becky Trumble, Kim Hosey, Lisa Cogswell, Sonya Pike, Jeff Christensen, and Eric Wolff. Wayne Cogswell abstained. New third grade science textbooks were approved with the estimated cost being $977.76 for 128 books plus teacher editions. This ex­ penditure will be covered by Title IVB funds. Action was tabled regarding purchasing some new secondary textbooks along with the purchase of general maintenance sup­ plies and equipment con­ sidering the uncertainty of the amount and date of future state aid payments. Approval was given the Maple Valley Senior Citizens the use of school busses for general area trips as long as it does hot interfere with the general transportation schedule. Costs involved will be paid by the senior citizen group. An executive session was held to review general negotiations progress with the Eaton County Education Association (Maple Valley Teachers). Can you recite the fifty states in abc order? At the May 10 board meeting, ten students from Maplewood gave the board a sampling of what they have learned this year and last year on The fifty states. Five fourth graders: Benne Hoyt, Scott Knoll, Tami Mason, Carrie Ryan and Faith Wells recited the fifty states in abc order plus they were asked to name various states on a blank United States map. Five fifth graders: Melissa Barnhart, Tracey Gusey, Kylie Ryan, Margy Schippel and Aaron Walker showed that they could recite the fifty states after a year. The real amazement came when Melissa Barnhart still remembered the states and capitals in abc order after a year. Scott Knoll recited the states and capitals after knowing them only a short time. The project was undertaken in Linda Andres’ fourth grade social studies class. *500°° REWARD For any information leading to the arrest and conviction of person or persons who re­ moved or removing down wood of any amount, without written permission from owner Shirley Fox Kaiser, West woods on Hagger Rd., between North of Thornapple Lake Road, South of State Road (North of Nashville).

The first blows struck — Some of the colonists who went with the first prospecting party to spy out the -land, among whom the name of W. J. Squier, W.S. Fairfield and Levi Merrill are mentioned, remained in the woods (Vermontville Village) and the latter part of May 1836, went to work felling the forest trees, building log houses and shanties and clearing for crops a few acres of land. The first potatoes and corn were grown among the stump and logs. Sometimes potatoes were cooked in the hot ashes of a burning log heap and green corn roasted by the live coals. No portion of southern Michigan was more heavily timbered — mostly beech and maple, with ash, oak, elm, cherry, basswood and black walnut. The winter of 1835-36 was the last one of centuries of savage solitude. Prior to the advent of these first settlers, except an occasional blow struck by some hunter surveyor or nomadic Indian, no sound of a civilizing axe had disturbed the silence or awakened an echo in the forest. So in May 1836, the work of transformation from unknown and prehistoric past ofwild animals and men to the known present and to a future, the nature of which none of us can guess, ac­ tually commenced. The era of the bark shanty and pole and brush wigwam of the Indian ended there and then. Log houses were built that summer by those who remained for themselves and their coming families, and a colony house was erected to shelter other settlers as they arrived. Log house raisings were frequent and all turned out to help each other without expecting or desiring pay for the labor. House raising was a thank offering to the new and always welcome settler.

And last Tuesday they received very special treatment at Maplewood Elementary School in Vermontville.' During a Grandparents’ Day event, children of the school welcomed their elders for a morning session of entertainment and sharing. The visitors observed the students at work and play. Many of the classes presented their guests with special gifts; paper flowers, poetry booklets, potted plants, etc., all prepared with loving hands. The guests toured in­ dividual classrooms and also accompanied the youngsters during recess periods. Some classes staged small programs for their visitors. In a combined performance, fourth graders of Mrs. Linda Andres and Mrs. Kris Green, called in unison all the states of the union. Scott Knoll, 10, a student of Mrs. Green, and Tami Mason, also 10 and a student of Mrs. Andres, individually named all the states and capitals in alphabetical order. It was a repeat performance for Scott who Monday evening had the honor of doing the same at a meeting of the Maple Valley Board of Education. Also during Tuesdays event at Maplewood, the children in Mrs. Green’s room recited a poem called “Grandparents’ Visiting.” Awards then were presented by Mrs. Green to grandparents in various categories. Irene Hayes of Hastings was honored for having the greatest number of grand­ children (a total of 22). Mrs. Thelma Stewart of Nashville eatned honors for being the oldest grandmother present. The award for the youngest “substitute” grandparent went to > Kathey Ross of Woodland, an aunt who was filling in for the event. (In cases where grandparents were unable to attend due to distance or other cir­ cumstances, the children were encouraged to invite aunts, uncles or very close adult friends so that all would have a visitor.) Dorothy Bowen came from Haslett to attend the event in Mrs, Green’s room and received a prize for traveling the furthest distance. The “closest” honors went to Tonie Carpenter of Ver­ montville. Throughout the school, banners and artwork welcomed grandparents to Tuesday’s event. Just out­ side Mrs. Andres’ classroom, her students had taped original drawings of their grandparents to comprise a “Grandparents’ Hall of Fame.” The visitors were invited to try to find themselves among the colorful posters. During recess periods, the adults enjoyed refreshments of cookies and punch served by the children at a central location near the all-purpose room. Thelma Stewart of Nashville was honored as the oldest grandmother present, and received the award from teacher Kris Green. Grandson Mike Dennis is at left. Andy Goodrich is seen with his grandmother, Irene Hayes of Hastings, who received a prize for having the most grandchildren. Teacher Kris Green awards the badge.

Beautiful weather and Marty Robbins’ show made it a memorable event. Owner George “Sandy” Salyers said he was_ en­ couraged by the response to his first show of the 1982 season, since the park suf­ fered from low attendance its first four years. Salyers said he was especially pleased with the large tur­ nout from the Hastings area. Marty Robbins displayed his ability as a performer by changing the atmosphere from a large outdoor gathering to the intimacy of sharing with friends in a cozy living room. He sang many of the requested songs he has made popular over his long career, including renditions of “El Paso”, “Devil Woman”, and “Return to Me”. Between songs, Robbins exhibited a well crafted sense of humor. Introducing his composition “You Gave Me a Mountain”, he stated, “This next song was written by one of the greatest writers alive today.” Others on Sunday’s bill were Country Fever, Don Lincoln, Frankie LaMont, and C. C. Oliver. Coming to Sandyland on May 30 will be Leroy, “The Auctioneer” Van Dyke and Lee Green­ wood. Protect horses against equine eencephalomyelitis by Roger Betz County Ext. Ag.

Ferris State College now has an enrollment of some 11,200 students. When Adolph graduated from the school in 1932, it was known as Ferris Institute and had about 1,200 students, which at that time was considered a record enrollment. Adolph is wellknown in Nashville, having been associated more thah 50 years with the local drug store (now Mace Phar­ macy). Starting as a high school student, he worked six years at the store to earn his pharmacy apprenticeship and save money to finance his formal education at Ferris. After graduation from college, he returned to Nashville, in time became a partner of store owner Von W. Furniss and, later, sole owner of the business. Ex­ cept for reliefwork, filling in for a vacationing pharmacist now and then, Adolph is retired, and he and Rose Rose and Adolph Douse, Jr. of Nashville were at Ferris State College at Big Rapids on May 14-15, where, as a 50-year alumnus of the school, he received an honorary award known as the Golden Eagle. Adolph was one of 34 Ferris graduates of the Class of 1932 who were on hand for the event. The presentation of the Golden Eagle awards was made Friday evening at the annual alumni banquet staged at the Rankin Center on campus. It turned out to be sort of a “Nashville af­ fair”, what with Adolph receiving an award and the presentation being made by Herbert McPeake of Curtis Road, who is president of the FSC Alumni Association. Adolph reports that<a good share of the 34 persons receiving the Golden Eagle award were pharmacists, and he remembered several of them from his college days, in particular those who had been his fraternity brothers. After the Friday Public Hearing There will be a Public Hearing at 7:00 p.m. May 27, 1982 at the Community Cen­ ter in Nashville to discuss a change in Revenue Sharing monies for the Village of Nashville. SUSAN M. CORKWELL Village Clerk We will soon be celebrating Memorial Day..a day set aside for the living to honor their deceased. We believe that if a family takes a leisurely drive to the cemetery, cares for the graves of their loved ones and says a prayer, they will realize a satisfaction which will truly enrich their holiday.

Mrs. Norman (Nyla) Stanton of Fural Dowling recently donated to Putnam Public Library an old charcoal portrait of an unidentified elderly couple. The library staff would appreciate having folks stop by to see if they can name the subjects. The portrait came from the attic of the former John and Ella (Denton) Taylor home in Nashville.

Nashville, Tuesday. May 25. 1982 — Page 4 Memorial Days remembered (Author’s note: Last year at this time, our Memories of the Past story traced Nashville's iirst observance of Decoration Day. In today's column, we present a photo review depicting those early Memorial events which have now become part of the history and tradition of the village.) Parading southward on Nashville's Main Street about 1911 are the Odd Fellows organization that frequently participated in early Decoration Day observances with the Knights of Pythias and the Masonic Order, often trying to outdo each other in pomp and circumstance. Nashville's first official observance of memorial Day appears to have been in 1886. The earliest such events were sponsored locally by Jefford's Post, Grand Army of the Republic, assisted by the Women's Relief Corps. Schoolchildren also played a big role in the parades and helped decorate graves. Area cemeteries, such as Union Cemetery near Lacey (seen in this pre-1910 photo), were the scenes of inspirational oratory on Decoration Day. It also was a time for socializing with relatives and neighbors. A small crowd is gathered here under the Stars 'n Stripes for the patriotic ceremony, but it was not uncommon to see 1,000 or more persons at Nashville's Memorial event. The afternoons often called for oratory at the local opera house, and attracted large audiences including rural residents who came to town for the holiday.

Rev. Robert Taylor officiated. Burial was in Hicks Cemetery. Autos of the era lined up westbound on Sherman Street for this 1916 Decoration parade in Nashville. Visible at left in photo is the brick post office - telephone company building (now Dairy Delite) on Main Street. After the summer house was built in 1909 in Putnam Park, Decoration Day parades often commenced there, the new cement block structure being used as a speaker's platform. Prior to that time, parades often started on Washington Street near the old school (now site of Kellogg School). Baseball games played by village teams and the opening of the dance pavilion at Thornapple Lake were other traditional Memorial Day events enjoyed by Nashville area residents.

Floral garlands brightened the final resting places of veterans, also designated with miniature flags placed by the American Legion. In 1931 the legion marked in Lakeview Cemetery, 110 Civil War veteran graves and ten of World War I vets, and were attempting to locate the number of Spanish-American War veterans buried there.

In the driver's seat is Baye s daughter. Dawn. Washing clothes the hard way are students Lydia Moccardine, left, and Nicole Dilliner. The children had a chance to try their hand at the equipment loaned by Charlton Park Museum. School budget cuts which eliminated field trips to Charlton Park Historical Village and Museum this year resulted in history being brought to elementary school children in Nashville recently. A very successful Pioneer Day was conducted May 14 at Fuller Street School with the help of craftsmen and volunteers demonstrating various facets of pioneer life to students. Kellogg School children were included in Friday’s event, held in the all-purpose room at Fuller Street. The children toured in groups at 45-minute intervals. Since the Pioneer Day was staged in conjunction with the annual Grandparent’s Day, there was also a good attendance of adults to enjoy the demonstrations. They saw Henry Felder of Nash­ ville with a muzzleloader exhibit; Robert Bayes of Lake Odessa with his Conestoga wagon and pony team, giving rides to the vounssters on the school playground; Fred Ackett of Nashville with a rock display; B.

In addition, parents volunteered to man several of the pioneer stations: making ice cream were Donna Garvey (and Nancy Byrd (the children sampled the results); grinding flour was Helen Mudry; shelling and grinding corn was Sharon Bishop; making rope were Barbara Fisher and Nancy Rosin; spinning was Merry Lee Ossenheimer; .weaving was Norma Shank; making candles was Sandy Schaub; churning butter (which youngsters spread on homemade bread furnished > by parents) was Vicki Smith and making bread were Brenda Hawkins and Linda Boldrey. Other volunteers who filled in as needed were Tina Me Mananey, Sandra Shiltz, Susan Butler, Gayle Greenman, Jeanne Brandt, Mrs. Leslie Boldrey, Ruth Hickey and Brenda Generaj Chairpersons of the event were Merry Lee Ossenheimer and Linda Boldrey. Throughout the day-long tours, the children were encouraged to participate in the pioneer crafts by taking their turn at grinding corn, dipping candles, making rope, etc. Outside, on the playground, the youngsters enjoyed doing laundry with an old-fashioned wash board and wringer. The washer and a loom were borrowed for the day from Charlton Park Museum, and the staff there graciously gave instructions on various crafts to Mrs. Ossemheimer and Mrs. Boldrey, who in turn passed the know-how on to the local adult volunteers who manned the various equipment and exhibits. Friday’s event was such a success that organizers hope it will become an annual tradition at the local school, giving the children of today a realistic glimpse of days gone by.

Barber gave a speech at one of the meetings, there were Charlotte and Battle Creek. It rained all the time. Edward W. Barber reported at the annual meeting of the State Historical Society of Lansing in 1897 — The slavery question — even political questions were not ignored. Slavery came to the front to vex the souls of silver - greg whigs and dyed-in-the-wool democrats. In the minutes of the meeting held January 2, 1847, Alvah L. Armstrong, one of the first three abolitionists in, the town, made application for a letter of dismissal from the church on the grounds that he could no longer fellowship or commune with church members who took no action on the subject of slavery. His purpose was to unite with the Wesleyan Methodist, who proposed to organize an anti-slavery church in town. There was hesitancy about granting him a letter of dismission and recommendation to the Methodist body, but finally a letter was voted him to the Wesleyan Methodist Church to be organized in the township of Vermontville, after amending 'the motion so as to include “or to the Congregational Church of Olivet.” The Olivet church being an offshoot of the Oberlin, Ohio, was then thoroughly anti-slavery in sentiment. (Note: this was the reason that our students were not listed for service at the Slate Archives.) This action caused much dismission. It was a new departure granting a member of the church a letter of dismissal and recommendation to the Wesleyan Methodists because the Vermontville church had taken no action in opposition to slavery, and so at a meeting held March 26, 1847, the church voted to send the following overture to the Marshall Conference, namely: “Resolved that Marshall Conference be requested to give their ad­ vice and opinion for the benefit ofthe churches under its care, whether it is proper and right for churches to grant letters of dismission to members residing among us, for, disaffection of any kind (say on the subject of slavery or any other cause), or whether it is proper to grant letters of full recommendation to chur­ ches not in correspondence with us.” This presentation of the methods of church discipline of the trial of members for unbrotherly remarks and conduct, if the constant watch over the sheep in the fold lest any of them stray, of the action taken on the burning question fo slavery that finally plunged this nation -into a terrible civil war, is necessary in order to give an idea of the agitations and discussions in an isolated colony, made up of men with strong political and religious prejudices, as well as personal idiosyncracies, in which the church was a dominant factor — annual meeting 1897, Vol. 28, Michigan Pioneer.

" and thaw out enough to drink by mealtime. — Use plastic bags for packing picnic foods only once. Then discard. — Carry perishable food in quantities that will be eaten during the main picnic meal. Carry nonperishable food for > later snacking. Nuts, fruits, crackers, raw vegetables and cookies are non­ perishable foods. — Place perishable foods in coolers immediately after everyone is served. Two hours in the hot sun is too long at outdoor tem­ peratures. — If sandwiches are on the menu, use fillings that freeze well. Make sandwiches ahead of time and freeze them. Pack them frozen in the picnic cooler-basket. Use a thin spread of margarine, butter or processed cheese spread to prevent moist fillings from saturating the bread. Use mayonnaise,v salad dressing or jellies sparingly in sandwiches that you plan to freeze. They’ll soak into the bread and make the sandwich soggy. Instead, if you must use these, take them along and spread them on the sandwich" just before you eat. — Food poisoning bacteria love to multiply in protein foods — especially protein foods like ham salad, chicken salad or tuna salad which have moist sauces as a base. Deviled eggs, cream pies and cream-filled pastries are also prime targets for bacterial growth which can lead to food spoilage and food poisoning. If you don’t kanow that you can keep these foods below 40 degrees F. until serving time, be creative and sub­ stitute some other food that is less likey to spoil. — Refrigerate food in shallow containers so the food will chill to the center quickly. — Remember that the temperature is usually higher in a car trunk than in the passenger part of the cdr. For safety, pack the picnic foods and carry them inside the car rather than in the trunk.

In this issue of the Maple Valley News is an entry coupon upon which contestants may write their suggestions. Mrs. Hughes said she is interested in acquiring a new name for her business since she feels that the present name does not reflect the wide variety of foods offered at the restaurant. She said that people often have the mistaken impresssion that steak is the only item on the menu, and finds this par­ ticularly true of travelers passing through town. The winner of the name contest will receive two free dinners of his or her choice. Coupons must be deposited in a canister at the Steak House before June 15.

Photo review of graduation past... (Author's note: A Memories of the Past column published in June 1980 told the story of Nashville's first high school graduation, staged at the local Methodist Church in 1887. This week, a photo review of early commencement events revives memories of the days when a typical NHS graduating class numbered from four to fourteen.) JOHN BELL, J. W. ROBERTS, Superintendent ofSchool* Invitations to Nashville's first graduation service, June 17, 1887, carried the class motto, "We Finish But To Begin." Board of Education members outnumbered the four graduates. Participating in the program were several junior class members and two local ministers. Hon. Joseph E. Estabrook delivered the commencement address. Diplomas were awarded by Superintendent J. W. Roberts. Since there was no school band at that eary date, music for the event at the Methodist Church was furnished by the Nashville Cornet Band, a group of village musicians. Other selections were rendered by the school choir and individual students. Elsie Mayo of Nashville's Class of 1892 typifies the traditional dress of early girl graduates. A floral gar­ land adorns Elsie's white gown. Boys wore dark suits. (Caps and gowns did not come into use at NHS until the 1930s.) Graduates in Elsie's day customarily received floral arrangements as graduation gifts, and the bouquets were displayed at commencement exercises. Elsie holds her large rolled diploma, one of five awarded that year. Early classes were so small that presentation of the diplomas was often the brief­ est part of the ceremony. Exactly 75 years ago, Nashville's Class of 1907 was preparing for high school graduation. There were 13 members; it is believed that three of the persons in this photo are teachers. The only identified graduate i is Walter Scheidt, who is standing at the extreme right in the back row. The other classmates (in alphabetical order) are: Golah Appelman, Clara Austin, Kathryn Bowen, Lynn Brumm, Grace Demaray, Hazel De Riar, Lettie Fowler,, Grace , qFranck, Marquerite gg, Kellogg, Russell Marble, Claude Marshall and Inez Smith.

An overflow crowd packed the sanctuary to watch the four members of the Class of 1887 receive their dip­ lomas. The following year, commencement exercises were moved to the Opera House, which by the turn of the century had become the center of other related events: Class Night, Jr.-Sr. Reception, and Alumni Banquet. Nashville's 1884 Union School had a 3-year high school curriculum when the first seniors graduated in 1887. There was no commencement in 1890, the year the course was expanded to four years. The Union School burned in 1902 and was replaced JVvith a similarly styled brick building. �The Maple Valley News, Nashville, Tuesday, June 1, 1982 — Page 5 Vermontville news By Esther Shepard Philip Byington of South Main cut his left hand last Saturday with a chainsaw, cutting through the bone to his little finger and partly on the second finger.

His sister, Debbie, a 3rd grader will answer the note. The following is from the 1897 annual meeting of Edward W. Barber, Vol. 28, Michigan Pioneer Collection. Civil War — The Civil War came. Never were people more determined, slavery was the aggressor. The first gun fired on Fort Sumter woke the nation from a long dream of peace and com­ promise with wrong, the first battle of Bull Run occurred. Holiday soldiers then began to change to veterans. Men of the north began to realize that it would be no mere child’s play to conquer the south, they, too, were American. One beautiful day ACT NOW! PHONE 945-9554 for ACTION-ADS in July, word came that our army is destroyed and the rebels are going into Washington said, Mrs. Kedzie to her husband. This was the first news of that raw battle, which congressmen and other civilians went out to see the whole village was at once in a tumult of excitement, seldom does it come to one’s experience to see an entire community so profoundly stirred. The people gathered to hear Ed Hunter read the first wild rumors from the battlefield. A deal was left for imagination and con­ jecture; but soon men realized that the nature was involved in a bloody and fratricidal conflict, and no holiday excursion to the south, with military pomp and display; would settle the grave problem of slavery had prepared Tor solution. During the exciting events of 1861, getting the news as quickly as possible was a serious question, there were horseback mail twice a week from Bellevue, which arrived quite regularly unless the Thornapple River was in flood; also mail from Lansing by pony express along the “state road”, subject to the same con­ ditions of weather. From Bellevue to Marshall was a daily stage and mail, and likewise from Charlotte to Jackson, but both terminals were fourteen miles distant. The great outside world was stirring events, and the people longed for daily communication with the news centers,- and for the daily papers the same day that they were printed. A great revolution had come which was one of the world’s great heart beats of progress. How to get the news from the seat of war was the problem to be solved. A daily mail none dreamed of as possible to obtain. What then? The Michigan Central railroad brought the Detroit dailies to Jackson and Humphrey and Hibbards stage line delivered them to Charlotte late every afternoon, but they were fourteen miles from the little village where all were hungry for war news, finally a purse was made up and a boy hired to ride a pony to Charlotte and bring the Detroit morning papers with their precious burden of intelligence from the seat of war (whether the rebellion was being crushed and the Union safe from all assaults) and no one thought of retiring until the last items of the war news was read aloud nine to twelve o’clock in the evening.

The youngsters are Tracey Hickey, Amanda Finkler and Joryn Baker.. ministers in another, rather unique way: through the clothing and fashion ac­ cessories she designs. “I believe God is the one who is the master designer,” declared Mrs. Bellisle in a fashion show presented Wednesday evening at a mother-daughter banquet at St. Cyril’s Church in Nash­ ville. Mrs. Bellisle said she often stops to pray while working on her designer fabrics, especially when she hits a creative snag in producing the silk-s'creened textiles which carry such in­ spirational slogans as “Jesus is Joy”, “God is My Designer’’, and “Hallelujah”. Mrs. Bellisle compared those prayer interludes to the need one has in facing personal snags in one’s life. For the Nashville audience, she recounted one serious setback in her own past — having her face seriously disfigured in an auto auo acac­ cident at age 21 and having to undergo reconstructive surgery to form a new nose. The style show at St. Cyril’s included several musical selections by Mrs. Bellisle, singing original songs and accompanying herself on guitar. Chris started writing religious music five years ago and now is the lead, singer in a' gospel group called The Sacrifice of Praise. Raised in the Detroit area, Chris completed her senior year at Wayland High School, graduating in 1969 after her family moved to that rural area. Her parents, Neal and Marian Cook, now own and operate historic Bowens Mills in the Yankee Springs area of Barry County. Her mother accompanied Chris to Wednesday’s event in Nashville. Mrs. Bellisle’s husband, Jack, also was on hand to assist with sound equipment used in the presentation. Chris, , who has been designing clothing for the past two years, was propelled into the public spotlight in Sept. 1981 with her first fashion show broadcast on the 700 Club, a national TV program. Her career in silk screening was launched in March 1980, but Chris has been an avid artist for many yeaVs. She comes from an artistically talented family and received advanced art training in high school. She told the St. Cyril audience that until two years ago, however, she had very little experience in silk­ screening on fabric. Chris set about teaching herself without the aid of in­ struction. It was a learn-asyou-go process. “There were times when I literally had to pray my way through,” said Chris. Each item of clothing she designs is individually produced. Chris does all printing of the fabric and generally hires a seamstress to sew the garment from a prototype of her design. It is Chris’, accessories which are primarily being marketed at this time. The creations include scarves, purses, tote bags, slippers, aprons, place mats and infant pants. The items are now stocked in a chain of FASHIONS, cont. on page 10 The audience at St. Cyril's was encouraged to take part in group singing led by Mrs. Bellisle, who asked that they sing to one another and point toward Heaven. Karen Long of Nashville was a hit in a jeans and red vest outfit designed by Chris Bellisle, who credits God as the master designer. AAary Gurd was one of the eight local models (four adults; four tots) who took part in Wednesday's style show at St. Cyril Church.

The light green-fronted store across from the post office is attracting a great deal of attention. Proprietors Cal and Wanda Rizor first opened their business in March in the old Stop and Shop quarters next to the post office, but recently moved the store across the street into the building previously occupied by Betty Blakely’s Antiques. The Rizors are in the process of moving into an apartment above the store, formerly occupied by the Blakelys. When that move is completed, the Rizors expect to expand their store hours, which currently are 9 to 9 Thursday through Saturday, and 12 to 8 on Sunday. In addition to many traditional antiques and collectibles, the Rizors carry some unique items in the flea market line. They also have goods on consignment, and are doing a big business in used furniture. There is a good selection of- antique pieces, too, many of which have been very nicely refinished by Cal. Dishes, including Depression ware; silver­ ware; dolls, paper memorabilia, including a good selection of sheet music; tintypes; wroughtiron ware made by Cal; and macrame items are just a few of the goods one can find at the Candlewick and Rusty Hinge". There are also the traditional collectibles, such as salt and pepper shakers. Probably the widest line of items in the store in the collectible category is Cal’s personal collection of bot­ tles, numbering over 3,000' and ranging from delicate perfume containers to bold" decanters, and ranging in value, as Cal puts it, “from, museum pieces to wor­ thless?’ A local native and son of Mrs. Phyllis Rizor and the late I. James Rizor of Nash­ ville, Cal has been collecting bottles sirfce he was a junior high school student. Cal and Wanda stock their store with goods they generally have acquired at auctions, flea markets and from private individuals.

Governor Milliken ordered a $50 million budget cut that was approved by the State Legislature. Virtually every area of state government was affected by the budget reduction, including the “Say Yes to Michigan” campaign. This brings our total cuts for 1981-82 to over $628 million. CHILD ABUSE - The House Public Health Committee has passed a package of bills aimed at aiding abused children. Under the proposal, a state child abuse commission would be established, along with a child abuse trust fund that would be financed voluntarily by taxpayers who designate $2 from their state income tax refunds. The fund would also accept private contributions and donations. The legislative package now goes before the House for further con­ sideration. RUNAWAY CENTERS - Michigan has 24 runaway centers located throughout the state which offer free shelter, in­ dividual and family counseling, and other services to runaways and their families. In addition, families with problems can receive counseling at the centers to help resolve problems before they get out of hand, lessening the chances of losing children to the streets. Runaway awareness has increased in recent weeks since a 14-year-old runaway boy was stabbed to death in Coldwater, and a 16year-old runaway girl was murdered near Brighton. Runaways and their parents are urged to call the toll-free RAPLINE (800) 292-4517 for counseling and referral ser­ vices. For more information, write to: the Michigan Net­ work of Runaway and Youth Services, 106 W. Allegan St., Suite 100, Lansing, MI 48933. P.O.W. PLATES - Gov. Milliken has signed into law H.B. 4799, legislation which permits former prisoners of war to obtain special automobile license plates. The plates feature the letters “POW” followed by identification numbers and the words “Prisoner of War” are inscribed below the numbers. Applicants must supply proof of former prisoner status to the office of the Secretary of State and pay a $5 fee before receiving the “POW” plates. HANDICAPPER HANDBOOK - The Michigan Depart­ ment of Natural Resources has available a new publication listing recreational facilities that make it easier for persons with special physical needs to enjoy the state’s Great Lakes shoreline. “The Handicapper’s Coastal Guide to Accessible Recreation Facilities” contains listings for over 70 Great Lakes recreation areas that are designed for handicapper access. Facilities inventoried include campgrounds, beaches, trails, nature centers, restrooms and parking.

With taxes as they are and Michigan in the financial bind it is now, Maple Valley Schools most likely will not be able to reinstate classes or programs back to the level of prior years. With the state cutting monies from education it looks like it will not improve. If elected I will do as much as I can by working with the other six board members and the administraiton, to do the best we can do for our children and the school district. I think the experience of my 20-plus years on the Vermontville and Maple VAIley School Boards and the 13 years I have represented the Maple Valley Dis­ trict on the Eaton Intermediate SchoolBoard will definately help me to help you get the most for your education dollar CHARLES VIELE, SR.

The county commissioners on May 25 approved amending the grant ap­ plication to allow Nashville to use the $8,383 allocation for priming and seal-coating Gregg Street, a gravel road in the village. The road project can be done im­ mediately to meet the HUD deadline, said Nashville officials. Following a public hearing at their regular May 24 council meeting, Nashville officials agreed to transfer an equal amount from their major street construction fund into a library building fund, contingent upon return of the confiscated HUD funds and upon start of con­ struction at the library. The idea of using the funds for the road project in order to save the grant for Nash­ ville’s use was recom­ mended to the village by Chuck Cutting of HUD and Drue Krammer of the office District of Third Congressman Howard Wolpe. Gregg Street will be primed and sealed from Lentz to Homer Street which, the county board said in its grant amendment, would be beneficial to senior citizens and to (Maple Valley) school, which uses the road as a route from the bus garage to pick up points in the village. Meanwhile, a public drive to raise the balance of the estimated $50,000 needed for the expansion project at the library has been launched by the library board.

A request for a tax renewal of 16.71 mills for one year also will be on the same June 14 ballot. Incumbents Elam Rock­ well and Robert Dormer, whose terms are expiring, are not seeking re-election. Candidates for the oneyear term to fill the resignation of Wilbur Marsh are David Hagon, James N. Shaw, and Charles Viele Sr. who was appointed to fill the vacancy until the election. David Hagon of 5270 Assyria Rd. has been a resident of the Nashville area for 11 years and has two children in the school system. He owns and operates a swine and crop farm. Hagon feels the “majority’s views have not always been acted upon in the past” and says he will “represent the majority of voters and not individual pressure groups.” Charles E. Viele Sr. of 220 Round Lake Rd. Vermontville is self-employed and has owned an ex­ cavating business for 27 years. He has lived his entire life in the Vermontville area, graduating from Vermontville High in 1943. Viele is married to the former Louise Joppie and they have five children who are all graduates of Maple Valley Schools.

Clark Rd., Nashville, Mi. 49073 30th year on the Ver­ montville Fire Dept. He has spent more than 20 years on the Vermontville and Maple Valley school boards and is serving his third six-year term on the Eaton In­ termediate School Board. “The education of our children and the future of the Maple Valley District is a vital concern of mine. I am not a politician so I will not tell you that if elected I will solve all the school’s problems. But, if elected, I will, to the best of my ability, work with the other six board members and the school administrators to help solve the problems faced by the Maple Valley Schools today,” said Viele. (The newspaper did not receive a response for biographical data from Candidate James Shaw of 10902 Bivens Rd. in Nash­ ville). In the race for the two four-year terms are James Bryan, David Hawkins, George Hubka, Merle Martin, and William Semrau. James Bryan of 3998 S. Morgan Rd. in Nashville has been a resident of the Maple Valley School District for about 26 years. He is em­ ployed by. by Hastings Manufacturing Co. for the past nine years as a steam and pipefitter. Bryan’s community ac­ tivities have included scouting, volunteer work with the Red Cross and the Maple Valley Athletic Boosters. “I believe in, in this election as in all elections, the issues are related to the main groups in our school system which are the students, the people, the teachers, the ad­ ministration, and school board. The school board which is the representative of the people to the ad­ ministration, and the teachers has the respon­ sibility to be open minded and hear all input from all parties concerned with any issue brought before them. This input from any and all has to be weighed and decided upon so as to give the greatest benefit to the education of our children,” Bryan said. “I feel that the most im­ portant issue in this election is the maintaining of open lines of communication between all groups con­ cerned with the education of our children,” he said. David Hawkins of 9300 Charles Viele Sr. James Bryan Bivens Rd. has lived in the school district since 1960. He is 1967 graduate of Maple Valley High School. Hawkins married the former Brinda Garvey and they have two children. Except for a stint with the U.S. Army, Hawkins has worked at Oldsmobile in Lansing since 1967. He presently is a skilled trades worker there. Currently, Hawkins is president of the Nashville PTO, vice-president of the pee-wee softball and vice president of the Maple Valley Riverside Recreational Development Corporation. “The times, attitudes, requirements and goals of society are changing and along with that, I feel that our school board must also change — not an all out purge, but a mix of the wise and experienced and the enthusiasm and questions of the novice,” he said. “The financial strait jacket that our schools are currently in hasn’t happened overnight — and it won’t be cured in six months or a year; it will take time, work and much co-operation and involvement from the parents and citizens of our district,” Hawkins said? George Hubka of 7950 Marshall Rd., Nashville is a 1964 graduate of Maple Valley High School. He has a master’s degree in science from Michigan State University. He currently is a teacher in the Hastings district. “I feel the board must be informed on most issues involving the best ways to provide a quality education for all students while restraining the amount of taxes sought from the voters of the district,” he said. “Many new and untried ideas can be considered such as shorter school days, driver education range program, and less ad­ ministration as teacher numbers fall,” said Hubka. Merle Martin of Rt. 1, Vermontville has lived in that community all of his life. He is a 1953 graduate of Vermontville High School. Martin and his wife, Marlene, have two children. His community activities have included organizing all the little league baseball (8­ 16) for both communities, starting all little league football, and coaching fifth and sixth grade basketball for more than 2,000 boys. Martin also coached seventh and eighth grade football, as a full time dairy farmer basketball and junior high and has been a life-long baseball in Vermontville for resident of the school 20 years, and American district.

Greenwood, who Salyers described ,as “ hot as a firecracker right now” gave the people what they came to hear with strong songs as his two top ten hits, “It Turns Me Inside Out” and “Ring on Her Finger, Time on Her Hands.” His rough voice, similar to Kenny Rogers,’ was the expected main feature of his songs.

I am opposed to millage renewal because the school board has not indicated where they will spend the on student s money,, education or wages. I am also opposed to the extra voted transportation millage being lumped in with the rest because it loses its identity as transportation money. Because of comments made at the May 10, 1982, board meeting about the state transportation funding formula,, it would not surprise me if in the next few years the school district (1.4 mills) designated for transportation only knowing full well their budget deficit was $59,000.00; (May 1981 budget, meeting) and not would ask for additional funds designated as special transportation money again.

He encouraged the youngsters and drew a laugh with his comment: “We haven’t lost a seventh grader yet.” Christensen said some sixth graders are concerned about finding their way around the jr.-sr. high building. He told them that their teachers would be patient in helping them become acquainted with the school and their class schedules. Christensen praised the academic ability and good behavior of the sixth grade graduates at Maplewood. “I haven’t had to see many of you in my office,” he added with a laugh. He said he would look forward to following their junior and senior high school careers. Music for the com­ mencement event was furnished by the 12-member Maplewood Sixth Grade Band under th? direction of Duane Thatcher. The selections were “Grand­ father’s Clock”, “Fat Cat Disco”, and the theme song from the movie, “Rocky”.

Finally, secure help to dogs. Gene Koetje, actingpolice chief, and Lee Christopher and John Joseph of the Nashville fire' department arrived on the scene. The meh donned firemen’s helmets and rain coats and got the dogs out of the pen and into the house. The next day the situation had not improved. Anyone daring to venture out of the Johncock residence was “dive-bombed” by the screeching, swooping owls. A call to the county con­ servation office of the Department of Natural Resources proved to be of little help. The Johncocks were advised to shoot the owls. It is assumed that the owls’ actions may have been a signal that they had young ones in a nest in the tree near the dog pen, which they feel are threatened by the presence of humans. At the end of the week, the owls apparently had moved on. When this final report was being prepared, it seemed the problem had disap­ peared along with the birds.

Morris maintained medical a practice in the village for 60 years; was the oldest practicing physician in Barry County when he retired in 1958. : Hardly had the throng arrived at the grove when it started to rain and tables and wagons were hurriedly converted into ineffectual shacks for protection from the downpour. Within an hour it was decided to give it up, and the expedition returned to town and repaired to the Methodist Church, where tables were set up for inside eating. The rain turned out to be the finest and heaviest of the season. 1877.. .

Visit us for our SPECIALS and FLEA MARKET BARGAINS SAT., JUNE 19 ^'widma a WASHINGTON STREET P.O. BOX 449 PHONE: (517) 852 9797 NASHVILLE The following article on Kenneth A. Meade appeared Feb. 22, 1982, in Issue One of the Oakland University Engineering News, published by Tau Beta Pi. It is reprinted here with per­ mission of Editor John Rotondo, who authored the piece. The name of the Univer­ sity engineering paper recently was changed to “Feedback,” It was established to develop a better rapport between engineering students and faculty and to encourage a more active role for students in the school. “Dr. Meade was an ob­ vious choice (for the inaugrual issue),” writes Editor Rotondo, “since his spirit and sincereity is the eptiome of what we hope to foster.” Kenneth A. Meade needs no introduction to Nashville, his native town. He grew up on the family homestead of Eaton Road, on land settled in the 1840’s by his great­ grandfather Thomas Blaisdell. Kenneth, who now resides in Franklin, attended the rural Castelton Center School before completing his high school education in Nashville, graduating with the Class of 1921. His many accomplishments after that time are noted in the following article, for which we thank Editor Rotondo and the Feedback staff. The Ivory Towers of Dodge Hall have recorded the “comings-and-goings” of many people through the years-always frantically scurrying, all driven by the same, omnipresent dream that they can one day leave the hallowed halls - for the last time as a success. Afterall, that’s what college is, a nice place to visit, but who wants to live there. One man, however, defies this Golden Rule to its utmost. He has earned the right to step back and say, “Hey, I’m a success-I can relax now,” but that is not what Kenneth A. Meade is made of. What exactly is Ken Meade made of? His biography is like reading the accomplishements of three men. He graduated from Michigan State Normal Fourth graders keep busy at school year's end On Thursday, May 27, Mrs. Hansen’s fourth grade class walked to the Nashville Locker. Dick Chaffee, owner, gave the children a tour. They watched him cut steaks and grind hamburger. Going in the freezer on a hot day was Hometown is Hoppy to Announce A New, Complete... COL OR CENTER very refreshing. Mr. Chaffee explained quick freezer and showed the children where people rent lockers to store their frozen foods. On Friday, June 4, the students walked to the Nash­ ville Post Office where they mailed their friendly letters. One was going as far away as Florida. Elmer Jarvie explained how they sorted mail. He demonstrated the use of the canceling machine using the children’s own letters. He also told the students how important it was for them to address their letters clearly and correctly. The three fourth grade rooms had an old-fashioned spelldown June 8. The top speller was Nicole Kipp. The second place speller was Kevin Pixley; third, Stacy Morgan; fourth, Lydia Moccadine; and fifth, Jill Langer. The winners of Mrs. Hansen’s Checker Tour­ nament were first, Michael Schantz; second, Bobby Allen; and third, Heidi Reese.

College Know Eastern Michigan) in 1925 with a Bachelor of Arts in Science and Mathematics. For the next 4 years he taught high school physics, headed a Science Department, and obtained a Master of Science Degree in Engineering Physics. He then joined the faculty of General Motors Instititue, moved to Lawrence Institute of Technology, and rejoined General Motors-holding a host of supervisory and executive positions such as Personel Director of the GM Tech Center. Finally, in 1952, he became Manager of the Educational Relations Section which he retired from in 1967. Ahh retirement - time to relax and use his specially made golf Clubs at Pine Lake Golf Club or read History books (even, though he hated history in school), or what ever he wanted to do - he’s earned it, right-but back to school!? He joined Oakland University immediately, working first in Continuing Education and then in the School of Engineering, where he has established the Statics and Dynamics Laboratory that every O.U. Engineer comes to know and love. He taught Engineering Mechanics, evaluated in- coming transfer students handled liaison with Com­ munity Colleges, and headed the administration of the Plan of Study. Then in 1975, he officially retired from O.U. At last - time to pursue his interests like visiting China, just because it’s so mysterious; and tracing his family geneology through the Church records of England; and eating at his favorite restaurant, the Roman Cafe; and reading about his favorite presidents-Lincoln and Truman (because they were honest and had a sense of humor.) Why, might you ask then, does he still come to Oakland and spend his time working on Advanced Standing Reports, residing on the Dean’s Committee on In­ struction, and counseling 20­ 30 students per week? The best answer to that might just be his reponse to this question— “Professor Meade (who has done so much for so many), if you had 1 wish granted, what would it be?” “That I could keep my health and the ability to work with young people until the day"! die.” KENNETH A. MEADE definitely an exception to the rule. ATTENTION: Women & Men If you want an opportunity that comes rarely in a person's lifetime than you owe if to yourself to investigate. 1.

Michigan Worker’s Compensation records for 1976-80 show that agricultural service firms (landscaping, lawn services, tree trimming, fertilizer applicators, etc.) had twice as many accidents as far­ mers and growers. Tree farms and reforestation services had ten times as many accidents as farmers and growers, and com­ mercial fishing had one-third more accidents. “The spring work season is a good time to renew efforts to improve safety practices and attitudes,” Pfister suggests. Farmers and agribusiness operators must be-credited with making farming one of the safest agricultural in­ dustries.- To keep farming safe, Pfister urges everyone in farming to continue to use equipment and machinery manuals to train new operators and take time to review proper safety procedures in all phases of production and management.

An audience of parents, grandparents and friends was on hand for the occasion. Graduating was a total of 77 students in the classes of teachers Sandra Briggs, Vicki Polanski and Steve Slag. Wearing mortarboards they had fashioned from paper, the children marched into the gymnasium to a taped rendition of “Pomp and Circumstance.” Principal Howard Yost acted as master of ceremonies, introducing four spokespersons for the class: Jackie Dilliner, Kim Bahs, Heather Hummel and Brian Stall. AU of the children spoke very clearly in eloquent phrases of their 6th grade memories; their ap­ preciation of Principal Yost and the school staff; of their parents and others who had helped them reach thismilestone. They also spoke of future hopes for the Class of ’88. As a surprise to Yost, the students gave him a “Hip, Hip, Hooray” tribute. “That was not in my notes,” quipped the pleased principal. After awarding the diplomas and six special safety patrol awards, Yost briefly addressed the graduates. “This day is real, this day is forever, this day is yours’,” he said, as he wished the children success in junior-senior high. Next fall the students will join recent Vermontville 6th grade graduates to form a combined 7 grade Maple Valley Jr.-Sr. High School. At the conclusion of Tuesday’s ceremony, guests were invited to join the youngsters in enjoying refreshments prepared by the PTO. The processional was a solemn moment for Kellogg 6th graders Tuesday as they marched to the recorded sounds of "Pomp and Circumstance." Brian Stall gave a special tribute to Principal Yost in his remarks at the graduation ceremony. Recalling special 6th grade memories in her address was Kim Bahs.

Jerry Burger who is the market analyst for the in­ terested developer, Rural Housing Corporation based in East Lansing, said the company is in the process of conducting a “2 for 1” survey. Burger said that means at least two potential households for each available proposed _ apart­ ment unit must respond to the survey to establish that a housing need exists in the community: He said the “2 for 1” survey must be ac­ complished before financing of the project can be ob­ tained by the Farmers Home Administrations" “I want to stress the critical nature of the survey. It’s important to the com­ munity and to our company. If there’s ho interest (from survey attempts) then we can’t build,” said Burger. “We hope to have the survey completed in two to three weeks.4’ The proposed apartments, if approved, would be located on about three acres of land, currently owned by Mr; and Mrs. John Rodriguez, on Spring and Third streets in the village. The developer has an option to purchase the land from the couple. A tentative completion date of con­ struction has been targeted for next spring. Two buildings would be constructed, comprising a total of 28 units. Plans call for the project to be called Red Oak Apartments and would include 10 onebedroom units, 16 twobedroom apartments, and two three-bedroom units. Each unit will have car­ peting, drapes, appliances, a storage area and a patio or balcony. Coin operated laundry facilities will be available in each building. Landscaping and parking space also will be provided. The Farmers Home financing program the company hopes to obtain in Vermontville is for persons with moderate income. Burger said Farmers Home provides mortagage money at low interest rates so a developer, in turn, can offer “modest” rates to the apartment dwellers. Rent includes heat, hot water, and water and sewer. Occupants pay only for electrical lights and telephone. Basic rents for the Vermontville apart­ ments for persons with in­ comes of $13,000 or less are $225 per month for a onebedroom unit (about 660 square feet); $250 per month for two-bedrooms (800 sq. ft.); and $270 per month for three bedrooms (960 sq. ft.) “As incomes (of apart­ ment dwellers) go up, rents can go up,” Burger said. An architectural design for the Vermontville apart­ ments has not been selected: Construction is awarded through a bidding process and Burger said ifa qualified local construction company had the low bid, the project could be awarded to a local business. The company would also employ a local manager for the apartment complex when it is completed. He said Rural Housing Inc. is one of the largest developers in the state. Probably the closest project to Vermontville is apart­ ments build several years ago in Williamston. Burger said additional information about the project or the survey may be obtained by calling 517-3'51­ 6100. Copies of the survey may be obtained at the Ver­ montville village office or from the Rodriguezs. The returned surveys will be considered confidential information and will not obligate persons to live in the proposed apartment. Per­ sons who respond to the survey will be given first opportunities to rent a unit. This is an apartment unit built by Rural Housing Corporation in another town. The company wants to build 28-units in'Vermontville. (Photosupplied) Maple Valley one of 10 districts to receive state aid week early The need to borrow money to meet expenses in June has been averted in the Maple Valley School District because it has received advance partial payment of state aid and delinquent taxes from Barry County plus promises of delinquent tax payments from Eaton County later this month. Ten school districts, in­ cluding Maple Valley and Thornapple Music Festival on tap at Charlton Park Bluegrass music mixed with family picnics and summer sunshine, set in an historical village of the late 1800’s has been attracting folks to Charlton Park’s Thornapple Music Festival for eight summers. On Sunday, June 27, they’ll be back for more. Starting at 11:30 a.m., guitars will be picked, banjos plucked and dulcimers hammered as the Thornapple Music Festival brings bluegrass and oldtimey music to the Charlton Park stage. The stage is set at the focal point of the park’s natural amphitheater, nestled on the banks of the Thornapple River. People bring along chairs and blankets to settle in for a relaxing afternoon, and when they need to stretch, they amble through the buildings of the historical village that are restored to their original Barry County character ofa hundred years ago. On stage first will be the Olde Michigan Ruffwater Stringband Olde Michigan Ruffwater Stringband from the Rochester area. A collection of dulcimers, fiddles; banjos, guitar, bass, and more, the band grew out of the Paint Creek Folklore Society of Rochester and the Detroit County Dance Society. Popular at Greenfield Village, the stringband will perform old Michigan, early American and British Isles tunes; Sweet Corn String Band of Kalamzoo and the Williams Family of Byron Center have remained popular with Charlton-Park audiences for many years. Sweet Com has been performing a fast­ paced variety of bluegrass and old-timey music since the late 1960’s and has en­ tertained in concerts, parties and dances across Michigan. The Williams Family presents a show of modern and traditional bluegrass music that is punctuated by the fiddle playing of the father, Larry Williams, and the tight brother-sister harmonies of family members. The family has a solid following in the Grand Rapids area, where they make anumber of ap- Bellevue in this area, received aid early because of cash flow problems. Supt. Carroll Wolff said Maple Valley received $95,000 of aid earlier than the state’s delayed payment schedule this month because a letter detailing the district’s financial plight was convincing to state officials. Because of the advance and the deliquent taxes, the district has been able to meet its June payrolls, general fund bills, and employee insurance premiums. The letter to the state said “it would probably be necessary for the district to borrow money because of its cash flow problems,” Wolff commented. By not borrowing, as anticipated, the district avoids paying interest at a rate of 12 percent, he said. Actually the “early” state payment only amounts to one week’s time difference in receiving the money. Because of the state’s own financial crisis, state aid payments are slated to be delayed in future months. The delayed state aid payments have Been creating problems for schools all over the state, not just Maple Valley. “The state’s been falling behind right along while our ex­ penditures are still there, ” said Wolff. The remaining portion of the June state aid is not scheduled to be paid by the state until July 20. Aid normally paid August 1 is being split-up with payments set for half on August 20 and the remainder on September 20. Because of the delayed payment scheduled, Wolff said the district would probably have to borrow in early fall. At its June 14 meeting, members of the Maple Valley board of education approved an appropriations budget, for the 1982-83 school year, showing anticipated revenues of $3,183,264 and expenditures of $3,306,889. The difference will be taken from the fund equity. Ex­ penses include $53,200 for bus amortization. Approval is in compliance with the Uniform Accounting and Budgeting Act which requires that a budget be approved prior to July 1. A truth in taxation act hearing will be scheduled later this summer. It will be necessary for the board to review the budget and ap­ prove a final budget prior to November 1. Some revisions will be necessary in the budget because a state aid act has not been approved and negotiations have not been completed with the teaching staff. Present indications are that the state aid act will not provide as many dollars as indicated in the ap­ propriations budget con­ sidering Governor William Milliken’s most recent state aid proposal. An appropriations budget also was approved by the board for the debt retirement account showing aniticipated revenue $68,377 basedupona levy of 1.2 mills compared with a levy of 1.25 mills in 1981. Anticipated expenditures are listed at $70,019 with the difference being taken from the debt retirement fund equity. A letter of resignation, Continued on page 6 �^.i ^nr‘r h-*-, « *•*•?

A letter last week from Nashville native Kenneth A. Meade, now of Franklin, commented on several recent Memories topics and photos “The picture of Carl Tuttle and his son, Roe, was good,” wrote Meade. “Mr. Tuttle was a wonderful person and 1 thought a great deal of him, I have a little book, ‘Courage of the Commonplace’ by Mary Raymond Shipman An drews, which he gave me as a present when I graduated from high school in 1921. I have read it many times and treasure It a great deal for the inspiration it has given me." Meade wondered in his letter what ever became of John L Wotring, a local boy who graduated in 1928 with Roe Tuttle from the school of engineering at University of Michigan. Do any of our readers know? Kenneth Meade also commented on the recent Memorial Day review; “It reminded me of one held some time around the late 1940s at which 1 was asked to give a talk in front of the mausoleum at (Lakeview) cemetery I rode in the parade in the back of a convertible starting from the Thornapple River bridge down through Main Street and out to the cemetery It is an eerie feeling to speak in front of the mausoleum your voice echoes back from inside. Meade also expressed appreciation for the 1893 graduation photo of Frank Lentz and his sister, Fern, used in the recent Memories about alumni banquets. Fern later married William Kuhlman, a cousin of Kenneth Meade's mother, Jessie. (William's mother was Polly Blaisdell Kuhlman, a sister to Ken­ neth Meade’s grandmother, Hanna Robinson, and lived until her death in the Kuhlman place the brick home near the old Standpipe HUI in Putnam Park.)

At that first exhibit in 1949, paintings were fastened with clothespins on lines strung between the stately maples in Central Park. “The Nashville Clothesline In August 1949, the first Clothesline Art Show in Michigan was held in Nash­ ville’s Central Park. The two-day affair, August 19-20, was so successful that it kicked off an annual tradition in the village. Clothesline shows continued through the late 1960s. Art Show promoted by local artists Friday and Saturday in Central Park was a definite success,” reported the Nashville News on August 25, 1949. “Visitors came steadily both days and all of the artists who offered work for sale were well pleased with the sales they made.” The News noted that 350 visitors had signed the guest register and “twice that many looked over the exhibits without signing the register.” \ There were numerous visitors from other towns, including artists. Among them were Dr. and Mrs. Mary Andrews Holman (1877-1975) took her final art course in Mass, at age 86. She had studied widely, exhibited at Florida art shows, and gained popularity with her outstanding watercolors and seascapes. She is seen here in the early 1960s at opening of her art gallery in a renovated blacksmith shop on Nashville s North Main Street. She is one of several local artists whose works are on permanent display at Putnam Public Library.

Thelen, Eaton County 4-H youth agent. - A variety of activities and sessions were designed to help camp staff members work more effectively with young people and conduct creative camping ex­ periences. “Participants had the opportunity to learn about problem solving and discipline, keeping camp records and maintaining health standards, and developing programs that involve campers,” explains Thelen. The workshop a lso in­ cluded sessions on aquatics, field sports and crafts. “Our goal was to improve camp programs and build coun­ selors’ enthusiasm by of­ fering a wide variety of learning options taught by knowledgeable sources,” says Thelen. “This was an excellent opportunity for camp counselors and directors to share ideas and take advantage of resources available to them.” _ The workshop was sponsored by the Hastings Mutual Insurance Company, the Thumb National Bank and Trust Company of Pigeon, and other local supporters, including Eaton County 4-H Council.

But as the summer wears on, your electric bill could start to climb as you look for ways to beat the heat. Keeping yourself cool can be costly. For example, an air conditioner can add up to $50 to a monthly electric bill. The amount you pay for air conditioning depends on how much electricity the unit uses and how efficiently it cools. When you buy an air conditioner, don’t simply buy the largest size for the lowest price. The cooling capacity of an air conditioner is measured in British thermal units (B.t.u.). The more B.t.u.s, the higher the cooling capacity and, usually, the more electricity you use. But that doesn’t mean more B.tu.s cool the room better. A 12 foot by 15 foot room could be cooled by a 7,500 B.t.u. air conditioner. Using 8,500 B.t.us would cool the room more quickly, but would not necessarily remove humidity that makes the room uncomfortable. Thus, you would be paying more in operating costs and getting less. After you compare price, compare the Energy Ef­ ficiency Rating of the models. The EER is a number usually between seven and 12 with more ef­ ficient units getting higher numbers. Check the Energy Guide labels on air con­ ditioners to determine how the model compares with less efficient and more ef­ ficient models of the same capacity. Once you own an air conditioner, proper use and maintenance can continue to save money. Filters should be cleaned and degree calibrations checked every year. Dirt in the filters can reduce the air conditioner’s efficiency by about 10 per­ cent to 25 percent. In ad­ dition, degree calibrations can have errors of two or three degrees. An increase in degrees means higher bills. Although air conditioners add to your summer energy bills, they aren’t the only culprits. Your kitchen ap- We appreciate comment on these little letters.

The balance is used by cooking devices, dishwashers and hot water heaters. Summer is an excuse to reduce use of some of these items, especially those that tend to increase heat in your home. For example, a dish­ washer costs only a few dollars a week to use, but by turning it off during the dry cycle and letting dishes dry naturally, you could De saving 50 percent of that cost. Since you must use some energy to cool your home, you should investigate ef­ fects of off-hour usage. While the charge per kilowatt hour may or may not be different, overall use will eventually be reflected in your electric bill. That’s because simultaneous demand for electricity results inin increased equipment needed by power plants and these costs are Should you replant Soybeans? On at least few acres every year, soybeans are damaged by pests or extreme weather conditions. This year is no exception and according to County Extension Director Allen Krizek, seed corn maggot and herbicide overdoses have been noted in several fields. Growers with injured fields must decide whether to replant or. to leave the field as it stands. The following considerations and guidelines may help growers better make that decision. These guides are not all inclusive and apply primarily to soybeans grown in southern Michigan. (1) Are plants dead or just injured? (2) Are just parts of the field affected or the whole field? (3) For every day’s delay in planting after May 15 soybean yields will decrease by about one-half bu-A.. (4) What is the anticipated yield and price of soybeans?

June 22 1982 — Page 7 Correction— Tiny worm threat to most Michigan pines— Since 1980, pinewood nematodes have been killing pines in Michigan. Because of last fall’s weather, the problem known as pine wilt or "sudden death" has become especially pronounced in the state this spring. Pine wilt is most often characterized by the rapid yellowing of the tree’s needles during summer, says George Bird, Michigan State University Cooperative Extension Service A nematologist. well watered and fertilized pine tree is less likely to suffer from pine wilt because it doesn’t attract the sawyer beetle, which carries the nematode in its gut. When the beetle feeds on the tree, the nematode enters. Once inside the tree, the nematode multiplies so rapidly that a young tree may die in three months. The visual symptoms are a change in needle color from yellowish green to reddish brown. Needle browning starts at the base of the needle and progresses to the tip. In many other pine diseases, the needle browning starts at the tip, Bird notes. Pine wilt may affect just a limb of a tree or the whole tree. The affected limb or tree must be cut and burned to protect nearby healthy trees. Japanese, Scotch and other imported pines are Control apple maggots without sprays The apple maggot is the most common and destructive pest of home­ grown apples in Eaton* County. If it goes unchecked, it can damage nearly 100 percent of the fruits. Homeowners don’t have to resort to chemical warfare to control this pest, however. According to Mark Whalon, Extension entomologist at Michigan State University, backyard fruit growers can achieve 95 percent control of apple maggots without chemical sprays. The secret weapon is red croquet balls. Hang 2%-inch red wooden balls in an apple tree at a rate of one ball per each 100 fruits, Whalon advises.

One name says it all. searching for fruits on which to lay its eggs, will be at­ tracted to the wooden balls. If you coat them with Tanglefoot (available at most local garden centers) any fly landing on one of them will get stuck and so be eliminated as a potential threat to your fruit. Hang the balls in late June. The desired placement is to create a “fruit basket’! ef­ fect by placing the balls over 3-7 developing fruit. Remove all leaves from witmin 10 inches of the croquet balls. To keep them working throughout the summer, inspect and clean them (with kerosene) regularly and apply fresh Tanglefoot. Trapping—or any other control strategy, including chemical spraying-will be more effective if you com­ bine it with good Sanitation, Whalon says. He explains that the apply maggot overwinters in the soil. Frequently picking up maggot-infested fruits that have fallen from the tree prevents the larvae from burrowing into the soil and reduces the number of adult flies that will emerge, mate and lay eggs the next year. It may take two or three years for sanitation to show dramatic results.' But over time, it will help reduce the pest pressure on the fruit trees and make other control measures more likely to succeed. Both the adult and larval stages of the apple maggot damage the fruit, Whalon points out. The adult’s egg laying leaves little scars in the apple skin. As the cells around the egg puncture continue to grow, the wound becomes visible as a slight depression. Apples attacked early in the growing season may be slightly deformed. The larvae hatch from the eggs layed by the females and damage the flesh of the fruit by tunneling around in it to feed. Brown streaks or spots develop as a result of the maggot’s excrement and a bacterium always assoicated with it. Most of the flesh may become soft and brown. Once the maggot is inside the apple, it’s impossible to control it. Chemical control programs, therefore, must be aimed at preventing the adults from laying eggs. Using red wooden balls to trap the adults has the same aim,'so the ballsmust be in place by the time the adult flies emerge and begin looking for egg-laying sites. In Eaton County, the first flies are usually spotted around July 1. They appear a few days to nearly three weeks later farther north. Flies continue to emerge in September, sowhatever type of protection you choose to use must be continued into the fall, Whalton points, out. WOULD LIKE JOBS house cleaning and will do win­ dows.

This is a common occurance for this time of year. The biting pests are back but this year so is deet. Deet (N,N-diethyl-metatoluamide) a chemical compound found in insect repellants, gives a strong offense to a broad range of mosquitoes, chiggers, ticks, fleas and various biting flies. The repellants that contain deet are only effective against biting pests and none of the repellants are ef­ fective against stinging insects. When selecting an insect repellant read the labels, reach for the products that have ahigh percentage of deet. Millions of people have used deet-containing products without a hint of toxic reaction. As with any product, a person with a metabolic disease may want to stay away from any repellant.

They probably don’t even need a training period before they swim the half-mile the first day at the beach. Most people, however, aren’t in such good con­ dition. They are advised to take their summer sports in small doses until their muscles and hearts have grown accustomed to vigorous exercise. Rather than play 18 holes of golf after a sedentary winter, it might be wise to start with a par-3 golf or to lob a few tennis balls in early summer before you schedule a fast game. If you don’t, your back, leg and arm muscles could slow you down, or your heart could put you down. Over exertion can cause heart attack in some people. Just to be on the safe side, let’s review the symptoms of heart attack: uncomfortable pressure, fullness, squeezing or pain in the chest, lasting two minutes or more. The pain may spread to the shoulder, neck or arms. Severe pain, dizziness, fainting, nausea, or short­ ness of breath may also occurs Some people have felt the symptoms of heart attack and thought it was tension or indigestion. It’s easy to disregard the warning signs, thinking “it’s just a little pain that will soon go away.” Those are among the famous Library story hour plans underway Plans are underway for the Summer Library Story Hour at the Putnam Library.

Agent Calling the Michigan horse industry a potential winner for stimulating the state’s economy. Gov. William Milliken says that for too long it’s been an invisible industry. Milliken cited the horse industry’s contributions to Michigan's economy as he opened his Conference on the Michigan Horse Industry, June 2, at Long's Convention Center in Lansing “I have called this con­ ference to help give visibility to this industry, and to give it the recognition it deserves for its economic con­ tributions and the support it needs to fulfill its economic promise,” Milliken said. Milliken spoke of the advances that have been made in recent years to improve horse racing in Michigan, including promotion, horse breeding incentives, purse structures, and administrative and legislative support. “We took a major step forward 18 months ago when I signed into law a com­ prehensive horse race reform bill,” he said. “Horse race reform was a major objective of this ad­ ministration, and that legislation went a long way toward assuring high quality horse racing in Michigan, a scrupulously honest pari­ mutuel betting system and the improvement of Michigan-bred horses. It is a modern paradox that in an age of technology... the horse industry continues to con­ tribute as much, indeed more, to our lives than it has at any other time in history.” Milliken added. Calling the industry an asset to the growth of the state, Milliken said the focus Battle Creek Boychoir plans open house June 27 The Battle Creek Boychoir is recruiting new members.

Bensons to celebrate 60 years So it's 'tea time' again by Mona Ellard, Ext. Home Economist Ahhh... iced tea. According to a popular tea commercial, there is no better way to quench a thirst than with a tall glass of sparkling iced tea. Did you know that iced tea is as American as apple pie? It was in 1904 at the St. Louis World’s Fair that a mer­ chant oflndian tea was being unsuccessful in selling hot tea to the sweltering crowds and in desperation invented iced tea. Here are some tea tips: — Always use fresh cold water when brewing tea. Cold water is aerated (full of oxygen) to bring out the full character of tea. Hot tap water may be stale and give tea a flat taste. — Give that tea bag a squeeze before removing, tea leaves may absorb up to seven times their weight so a gentle squeeze removes every drop of the delicious brew. — Cloudy tea? Iced tea brewed from tea bags or loose tea can sometimes become cloudy, especially if refrigerated. This is because a high-quality tea has a blend which is rich in solids to provide full-bodied flavor. The cloudiness won’t affect flavor, but sometimes it can be cleared by adding a little boiling water. — Add some spice to your iced tea with flavored tea bags. Try adding one or two bags of your favorite variety of flavored tea bags when brewing a quart of iced tea. — Use leftover iced tea, frozen into cubes, in place of plain ice cubes — no more worry about weak flavor from ice melt-down. celebration this time they will have several small ones, starting with a Mass of Thanksgiving at the St. Bernard Church and a family dinner at the Berrien Hills Country Club. The Bensons would be very happy to have visits from friends and former neigh­ bors at any time this sum­ mer. Their address is 535 North Ottawa Road, Benton Harbor, MI 49022., Phone: (616) 927-1604. They have three children: June Maurer of Benton Harbor, Joan Maurer of McLean, Virginia, and Karl J. of St. Joseph MI.

Battle Creek, Michigan 49015 Phone (616) 965-3993 right in your own backyard To casual backyard naturalists, June is a month of minor mysteries. The one that intrigue people enough that they call me include mounds that appear in the lawn overnight, bits of eggshell or whole eggs nowhere near a bird’s nest, and strange noises in the chimney. Mound Builders The homeonwer who calls about mounds in the lawn genially lives near a river, stream or other body of water or has a backyard with a low-lying, soggy area in or near it. Mystery mounds come in two shapes and sizes. The larger ones are volcano­ shaped and made up of loose soil; the smaller ones are roughly cylindrical con­ structions of dried mud. The minature volcanoes look like soil that has been pushed up from below. And that’s exactly what they are. The architect is the star­ nosed mole. Unlike the eastern mole - whose ser­ pentine, just-below-thesurface tunnels people are more familiar with the star-nosed mole prefers moist soil. It burrows 4 to 6 inches below the surface in search of grubs and other invertebrates to eat. Occasioanlly it pushes ex­ cavated earth up to the surface, creating a loose, volcano-shaped mound. The other backyard mound builder is the crayfish. This creature also called crawfish, crawded and crab, even though it isn’t a member of the crab family looks like' a small lobster. One species commonly lives in streams. Another burrows and makes the mud chim­ neys that sometimes appear in low-lying lawns. Unlike the mole mounds, the crayfish constructions have a tube right up through the center with a neat mud cap on it. Eggs - A litter of bright STATE Please circle the picture that most resembles your stage of hair loss. " ZIP blue eggshell pieces around the yard may motivate the homeowner to go bird nest hunting. Often the search fails to turn up a robin’s nest. A close look at the shell pieces only compounds the mystery: each piece is generally half an egg. So there are actually two puzzles: how did the eggshell get where you found it, and where is the other half? Mom Robin - or sparrow, blackbird or dove (you can tell by the size and color of the egg) - is responsible for the first puzzle. She carries the broken bits of shell away from the nest so they don’t give away its location to would-be predators. The way the baby bird pecks its way out of the shell accounts for its being broken in two more or less equal parts. Unlike a chick, which simply makes a hole and struggles out of its shell, as baby robin or other wild bird pecks all the way around the egg and pops off the top to get out. Mom robin then carries off the two pieces. Sometime intact eggs appear in odd places. Ducks are particularly likely to deposit eggs almost anywhere. It’s not that they lack the necessary nesting and mothering instincts, but that something has gone wrong with the nesting sequence. Either the mother duck simply couldn’t find a suitable nesting spot, or the nest was destroyed after the bird started to lay eggs. A duck that can’t find a nesting spot may scatter eggs all over the landscape. One whose nest has been destroyed may have to lay another egg or two before she can shut down the egg­ laying process until she can get another nest built. Chimney Noises - Chim­ neys are handy places for a number of animals to nest and raise their young, but the most common are rac- EBI plans paneike breakfast E.B.I.

Both are looking for nesting spots about the time fireplace chimneys are being retired for the summer. The chimney swift sticks its half-nest to the inside wall of the chimney with saliva. The raccoon generally establishes its family on the smoke shelf, just above the flue. Homeowners get alarmed when they hear these creatures in the chimney, because the sounds don’t bring to mind the animals that make them. Baby raccoons make a racket far out of proportion to their size. Little raccoons demanding that mom rac­ coon feed them sound more ferocious than pleading or babylike. It’s not hard to convince yourself that something much larger and more dangerous than a kitten-sized ’coon is lurking in your chimney. Young chimney swifts clamoring for food make a buzzing sound that.sounds more like a rattlesnake than any bird that people are familiar with. Most people are quite relieved to find a simple, harmless ex­ planation for these alarming noises. The thing all these events have in common is their seeming lack of relationship to familiar creatures or behaviors. Finding these relationshiups is part of the continuing wonder of ob­ serving nature from your backdoor.

When populations of adult beetles are high, their feeding can defoliate the young plants, stunting or even killing them. More often, they destroy plants by transmitting to them the organism that causes bacterial wilt disease Good things aren’t the only things to come in small packages. The most destructive pest of 'cucumbers, melons and squash in Michigan is a beetle smaller than the nail on your little finger. Cucumber beetles feed on every stage of the plant, says Gary Dunn, Extension en­ tomologist at Michigan State University. The adult beetles overwinter in fencerows, woodlots, ditch banks and other sheltered areas. In the spring, they feed on asters, goldenrod and the blossoms of willow, hawthorn and apple until cucumber, melon or squash plants are available. Then they move into fields and gardens to feed on the emerging cucurbit seedlings. After a few days, they mate and lay eggs at the bases of the plants. The larvae feed on the roots. Two types of cucumber beetles plague cucurbits in Michigan, Dunn Points out. The spotted cucumber beetle looks like an elongated, yellow ladybird beetle. It’s about one-fourth inch long and yellowish-green with 12 black spots on its wing covers. The striped cucumber beetle is about is to control the beetles with routine applications of Sevin, malathion or methoxychlor. Sevin is also effective against squash vine borers andsquash bugs, the other two pincipal squash pests. Dunn advises using Sevin with care, however, to avoid killing the honeybees which these crops depend on for pollination. An advantage of Sevin over the other chemicals is that there is no lengthy wating period between the last application and harvest. Especially with cucumbers and summer squash, which mature fruit so quickly, a week’s wait after the last application could give the fruits time to grow overlarge.

ENERGY PICTURE BRIGHT FOR SUMMER Michigan’s Public Service Commission and the State Energy Administration report that gasoline, fuel oil, natural gas and electricity will all be in ample supply this summer. Michigan’s gasoline consumption, according to Energy Administration, is expected to be just under 4 billion gallons for 1982. That is a decline of almost 1 billion gallons of gasoline since 1978. Conservation, higher prices, and fuel­ efficient automobiles are responsible for the dramatic dip in gasoline consumption. WELFARE CASELOADS DECLINE - There were fewer recipients of A.D.C. and general assistance during the month of May than in April, a month which also saw a decline in welfare applicants. There were 229,710 cases in May, down 2,198 from April; general assistance dropped 235 cases to 106,740. ADC-U caseloads (families that have exhausted unemployment benefits) fell by 1,089 cases in May to 41,410. The figures were compiled by the Department of Social Services. / RENT-A-TENT - The Department of Natural Resources Parks Division is making available rental equipment at three state-maintained recreation areas. Brighton Recreation Area (313) 229-6566, Holly Recreation Area (313) 634-8811, and Fort Custer Recreation Area (616) 731-4200, have 15 tents and 30 cots and foam pads ready to be rented, but you must call in advance.

Canvassing to recruit customers for the IT sub­ scriptions broadcast service was being conducted in Nashville several days last week. IT advertises 80 movies a month plus ex­ clusive special music, comedy and sports events. All are broadcast via Channel 31 out of Chelsea during afternoon and evening hours. “A lot of people were confused,” said Leonard. “We got several calls (from persons who thought IT was connected to the cable service).” Charter Tele­ Communications, Inc. (formerly called Spectrum Communications), with whichLeonard is associated, was granted the local franchise in January to install cable service for Nashville. The system will offer 16 to 18 channels. Strand-mapping for the cable system currently is underway in the village and Leonard says he expects construction to begin in 30 days. He predicts the system will be operational by September, though the company’s contract with Nashville provides for a February 1983 deadline. In addition to Nashville, Leonard’s firm has fran­ chises to furnish service to the communities of Ver­ montville, Middleville and Delton, and the Barry County townships of Thor- only.

Solid waste plan nearing completion 4-o wnships and municipalities in the county; “With it I have sent a copy asking that it be placed where people can read it,” Adrounie said. “We hope that people take a good look at it and then provide us with some feedback.” Adrounie said the plan will go before a public meeting in early September that is yet to be announced. For the plan to be enacted, it needs approval from the County Commission, 67 percent of the townships and the Michigan Department of Natural Resources. On July 8, the Barry County Solid Waste Planning Commission will meet with commissions from six surrounding counties. They will be discussing the Act 641 plans of each county. Former teacher worships with Queen Beatrix By Elaine Gilbert Antique “Buggy Runners” up for bid to benefit library — La Duska Sheldon, librarian of Putnam Public Library in Nashville, displays one of a-set of four antique buggy runners which were recently donated to the library as a fund-raiser. The anonymous donor has said that any bid over $100 for the set will be accepted and the money will be contributed to the library s building fund. Putnam Public Library currently is conducting a drive to raise rai funds for a proposed $50,000 Children's Wing addition. The runners, which were designed to convert a conventional horse-drawn buggy into a sleigh for winter use, may be inspected at the library. ‘ (Maple (Maple Valley Valley NewsAphoto NewsAphoto by by Susan Susan Hinckley) Hinckley) Lucy Jacoby of Hastings, a retired Fuller St. School teacher in the Maple Valley District, was one of the lucky people who received a pair of tickets to worship last Sunday with visiting Queen Beatrix of the Netherlands and her husband Prince Claus. Lucy earned the privilege of attending the ecumenical service of “Praise and Thanksgiving” at DeVos Hall by making a greeting card of welcome for the royal pair on their arrival in the Grand Rapids area. “I was thrilled and I was surprised when I received the tickets,” said Lucy who is of Dutch heritage. “I had read about the opportunity in the Grand Rapids paper and I decided to make a card.” There were only 500 pairs of tickets awarded in a drawing on the basis of welcome cards that were submitted to the West Michigan chaper of the Netherlands American Bicentennial Commission. “Thanks for helping welcome Her Majesty Queen Beatrix and His Royal Highness Prince Claus of the Netherlands to West Michigan for their Royal Visit,” said a letter to Lucy from the NABC. Lucy said the card she made for the royal couple included a windmill on the front and the words “Welkom,” meaning welcome in Dutch. On the inside of the greeting, she included a picture of a Dutch girl. Along with the card, Lucy said she wrote that she someday hopes to visit the Netherlands because of her own Dutch heritage. Lucy’s sixth great- grandfather, Roelof Gerrits Van Der Werken emigrated to the United States in 1663. One of Lucy’s hobbies isgeneology and she and other family members haye been successful in tracing her mother’s side of the family back to 10 generations. She hopes to visit the Netherlands and share her findings with her descen­ dents. In the meantime, Sunday’s worship service with the Queen and Prince was a memorable occasion for Lucy and her husband, Ernie, who retired last year as Maple Valley’s com­ munity education director. And the card she made for the royal couple will go back to the Netherlands as part of the remembrances of their trip to West Michigan. Lucy Jacoby proudly shows the pair of tickets she re­ ceived to attend a Sunday worship service with Queen Beatrix of the Neatherlands and Prince Claus. (Maple Valley News photo) �The Maple Valley News, Nashville, Tuesday. June 29, 1982 — Page 2 Nashville News The Fourth of July will be marked locally by a stirring red-white-and-blue costumed performance of the musical, “I Love America”, at 11 a.m. Sunday by the Nashville Baptist Church choir.

The first part relates to love of our land and recounts some of its history. The second is a musical tribute to our country and to its flag. The third and final segment presents a plea for the future of our country — that the USA will turn back to its spiritual foundations and the living God of the universe. The public is cordially in­ vited to attend this in­ spirational performance.

The DeCamps have four children: Fred of Eaton Rapids; Robert of Nashville; Douglas of Hastings; and Mrs. Barbara Heise of Woodland. They have eleven grandchildren. The family is planning a celebration for the DeCamps following her recovery from recent spinal surgery. The Lowell Showboat takes a new look to the riverfront stadium this year as the board of directors seeks to diversify the of­ ferings of the riverfront show.

Local celebration of the holiday predates publication of the Nashville News, which made its debut in October 1873. Since that time, many Independence Days have come and gone, but perhaps none was marked so gloriously in Nashville as the Centennial Fourth in 1876, when the nation commemorated the 100th birthday of America. The vil­ lage turned all-out for that event which drew a crowd estimated at more than 5,000 to Nashville's Main Street. The holiday continued to be a popular one in the village throughout the late 19th and early 20th centuries. In today's column, photos revive memories of some of those gala patriotic affairs.) Patriotic themes prevailed in Nashville's early 4th of July parades, always the highlight of a day which also included shows, concessions, ball games, races arid other sporting events. In the era before Decoration Day was locally observed, it was not uncommon for 4th of July parades to terminate at Lakeview Cemetery for patriotic speeches. Participation was high. In 1876 there were 45 rigs and teams among the parade entries. Prizes often were awarded to the best floats. In 1906 this Liberty Bell entry took first place. On the float is Vada Feighner Kane; leading the team are Roy (right) and Freel Garlinger. Although this patriotic cow was not from Nashville, the photo reflects the effort exerted by early rural folks to join in the spirit of the day. From nearby Ionia County, this picture is inscribed, "July 4,1907, Saranac, Mich." 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 furnished by accident when four men climbed atop the McLaughlin Block (recent Baby Bliss building, left of stage in photo) to end Nashville's celebration in a spec-­ tacular though unexpected blaze of glory. A pinwheel that was to be part of the grand fireworks display got loose and fired the whole stock of pyrotechnics. The air was full of commotion and red fire as the men scrambled for cover. Though many thought the building would be set on fire, it was not and no one was injured.

The Michigan Wolverine Horseshoe Association sanctioned tournament is actually three toirneys in one. On Saturday, Sunday and Monday, three seperate tournaments will be held with trophies for the win­ ners The cost is 15 for members of the association and $6 for guests. The newcomers to association competition will have to be to the tour­ naments by 9 a.m. to pitch 50 shoes for qualification. Players will be put in groups based on ringer percentage, and they only have to qualify one of the days. All players for the day must be signed up by 10 a.m. and the horseshoes will fill the air at 10:30 a.m. 50 to 60 people are ex­ pected for the action on the 12 courts at the park. “We want people to come out and give it a try,” James Jarman, an organizer of the tournament said. “They can play one day, all three days, whatever they want.” “All you need is a pair of horseshoes, and they last for years.” Trees can save heating costs— There are two sides of the house and two forces to be considered. On the north side is the wind and on the south side is the sun. First lets consider the wind.

If it does hit directly, you may profit from diverting it. An effective windbreak can be made with slatted fence, plywood fence, a hedge, a tree or any other large object that keeps the air current off the house. The best location is usually several feet away from the house, so the air can be sent over and around the structure. Secondly, lets consider the sun. In Michigan one should consider southern part of the houses. Stand at the south facing windows and examine what you see. Is the view blocked by large shrubs? Is the sunshine getting into the window?

Aphids - can be bad news for grain growers Bob Ruppel has a lot to say about aphids. And none of it is good news for small grains growers. Ruppel is the Extension field crops entomologist at Michigan State University, and he says aphids in wheat and oats are the worst he’s ever seen them. “We always have some aphids in wheat,” he points out. “I’d think something was wrong if we didn’t. But the numbers started building * very early this year — * up about two weeks earlier than usual, aphids were abundant 4- enough that people started ♦ noticing them.

Trees that lose their leaves offer a kind of movable insulation. There are leafy in summer, when you want the shade and naked in the winter, when you want the sun. Deciduous trees work best on the south side of the house, evergreens can be planted on the north. the regular grain aphids, Ruppel notes. More serious than the damage the aphids do directly, he explains, is the fact that they carry a virus that causes a disease called barley yellow dwarf. (When it occurs in oats, it’s known as redleaf). The aphids pick up the virus by feeding on weedy grasses and inject it into the wheat or oats when they feed. Once plants are infected, there is no cure. The disease can significantly reduce yields. Growers, Ruppel says, may find themselves in a quandary about spraying for aphid control. Spraying now, he says, would knock the aphid population down long enough for grains to get past the dough stage. At that point, they are no longer suscep­ tible to aphid damage. But many wheat stands are already poor because of wet weather last fall nad winter losses. Growers have to decide whether the potential yields are good enough to justify the expense of spraying to control aphids, especially if the fields are also infected with barley yellow dwarf. Some growers are disking their crops un- oppostie, in fact - the cool, moist conditions have been ideal for an aphid population explosion. If the aphid problem is the bad news, the good news is that it’s the only major field crop insect problem so far this year. “We’ve had only a few cutworm complaints and only two reports of ar­ myworm damage,” Ruppel says. “Usually by now we’ve had a slew of these and other things, but so far all we’ve heard about is aphids. And we’ve gotten reports about them from the U.P. to the Ohio line. It’s the worst year for aphids and yellow dwarf that I’ve ever seen.” Dualfuel Furnace Burns Wood!

The latest statistics show that 1,740 served in the Vietnam era, and of these, I, 640 had no service in Korea. There are 1,000 Korean conflict veterans, and of these, 910 did not see service in World War II. The largest group of veterans is from World War II. They number 1,770. There are still 70 veterans from World War I. Since the ending of the Vietnam War, 290 Barry County veterans have served in the armed forces and have been discharged. There are an additional 610 persons who were in service between the Korean conflict and the der. Ruppel advises growers who decide to spray to have malathion applied by air­ craft. Headed grain, he explains, will not spring back if run over by field application equipment. “Spray a field if there’s a colony of aphids per plant, he advises. How many aphids in a colony? As a thumb rule, Ruppel suggests 30. “But don’t hesitate if you cound 29,” he quips. “That’s close enough. Besides, the way aphids multiply, there’ll be 30 soon enough.” The recent cool weather hasn’t slowed the apids down, he reports. Just the Vietnam era. Over one-fourth of all Vietnam era veterans served in the combat area during the almost 11 year war. In Michigan there are 1,167,000 veterans of whom 980,000 served in time of war. There are 370,000 Vietnam era veterans; 209,000 Korean conflict veterans; 432,000 World War II veterans; and 15,000 World War I veterans. There have been 61,000 persons who served in the armed forces since Vietnam, and are now discharged, and 126,000 veterans who served between Vietnam and Korea.

Near perfect growing conditions typified by above normal temperatures were per­ sistent from mid-April through the end of May. This warm weather negated the chance of any significant freeze damage occurring. Michigan has three primary growing regions which are located along the coast of Lake Michigan. Production in the Northwest area is forecast at 145 million pounds, over 4 times larger than last year’s level. Dry conditions in the Northwest were partially alleviated by June showers. Production in the West Central area is pegged at 68 million pounds, nearly triple 1981’s output. The crop in the Southwest es expected to be more than double last year’s harvest with 60 million pounds forecast. Rounding out the State’s tart cherry production estimate of 275 million pounds is an additional 2 million pounds estimated for minor growing areas of the State. Nationally, tart cherry production is forecast at 338.5 million pounds, 151 percent above the 1981 crop. Michigan’s production represents 81 percent of the U.S. total. Michigan’s sweet cherry crop is also expected to be up significantly from a year ago. Production is forecast at 35,000 tons, a 52 percent increase over last year. Though production is up, much variability is evident between localities. For the U.S., the 1982 sweet cherry crop is exptected to total 150 thousand tons, 2 percent less than the 1981 U.S. total.

Expo ’82, the largest farm show of its type in Michigan. Expo, being held July 20-22 at Michigan State Univer­ sity, is expected to attract more than 40,000 people. The three-day event is sup­ plemented by a variety of campus tours and educational exhibits. Visitors will be able to see just about every type of equipment needed to help improve farm production. “I’d be very surprised if a farmer went away from Expo without at least one new idea that would benefit the farm,” says Bill Bickert, MSU Extension agricultural engineer and Expo chair­ man. “I don’t know of another place in the state where farmers can see as varied and as broad a collection of the latest in farm equipment and technology as they can at Expo.” The 30 acres of machinery displays will represent almost every mechanized area in a typical farm operation. Examples include irrigation systems, field machinery, dairy equipment and supplies, livestock handling equipment, grain harvesting, handling and storage systems, sprayers, buildings, seed and fertilizer supplies and services. At least 18 university educational exhibits are being planned for Expo. These include an insect indentification and control clinic, a free soil testing and irrigation water salt-testing service, and demonstrations on container gardening. Another segment of the program is daily field tillage demonstrations from 1 to 4 p.m. These demonstrations will provide side-by-side comparisons of conventional tillage (moldboard plow, disc and harrow) and con­ servation tillage (chisel plows, vee-rippers, no-till planters, ridge planting, etc.). The 50 acres of demonstrations will enable visitors to see the effect of each practice upon soil condition, surface residue and energy consumption. Other Expo activities include tours of the MSU teaching and research barns and selected departments, such as the Veterinary Clinic and the food science and human nutrition depart­ ment. Free buses wil carry visitors from the Expo site to the field demonstrations and tours. Expo is free and open to the public. Visitors wil find plenty of free parking at the main Expo site, corner of Mt. Hope Road and Farm Lane. Details of Expo may be obtained from the county Trash barrel decorating contest planned at fair All Eaton County 4-H Clubs and members are invited to participate in a Trash Barrel Decorating contest at the 1982 Fair. The trash barrels will be displayed and used during the fair. Clubs that camp may want to use theirs to identify their club cam­ ping area. All contestants must paint and decorate a fifty gallon or larger metal drim barrel. There will be classes for individual entries, team of two entries, and club entries. Judging will be held on Sunday July 25, at 5 p.m. in the sale tent on the fairgrounds. The barrels will be judged equally on originality-creativity, neatness, use of fair theme, and color scheme. Awards will be presented by the 4-H Advisory Council, sponsor of the contest.' For more information on the contest, contact the Eaton County Cooperative Extension Service at 543-2310 or 645-2351.

On July 4, the 1st Michigan Fife and Drum unit from Sterling Heights, Mich, will perform. The historically important Lincoln-Douglas Debates will be recreated at Town Hall. Abraham Lincoln and Stephen Douglas drew national attention to their 1858 Illinois Senate race with spirited debates on the control of slavery and the preservation of the union. Douglas won the senate seat but Lincoln became famous and won the presidency two years later. The high point of any 19th century Fourth was the reading of the Declaration of Independence. The reading will be given at noon on July 4 at the Town Hall. The lighter side of the holiday will be demonstrated with various 19th century games. Visitors will be in­ vited to participate.

June 29. 1982 — Pope 10 Sewage plant sludge may be valuable for forestlands evaluating forest growth rate, wildlife changes, en­ vironmental effects and cost effectiveness of sludge application. Called “good sludge” because it is from domestic sources and therefore low in heavy metals, it has a fer­ tilizer value comparable to that of livestock wastes. It is a heavy liquid similar in odor and consistency to motor oil. The sludge settles out during the secondary treatment process at a sewage treament plant. Interest in applying sludge to forestlands stems par­ tially from the amount of acreage that might be available for sludge disposal (over half of Michigan is forested) and partially from the fact that sludge can be applied to forestlands at any time of year. The length of time between treee planting and harvesting also allows commitment of the land to sludge application for time periods that meet requirements of the En­ vironmental Protection Agency. Soils in forestlands also have a high filtration rate which minimizes sur­ face water run-off. Sludge is being applied to 10-acre test plots of four forest types in Montmorency Township, east of M-33. The research area also includes other plots of each forest type-one left undisturbed and the other with trails similar to those used to apply sludge in the treated plots. by Roger Betz, Extension Agricultural Agent A special project in Montmorency County may show that sludge isn’t always a dirty word. The $1 million study, begun in 1981, is testing the feasibility of applying sewage plant sludge to Michigan forestlands. James B. Hart, associate professor of forestry at Michigan State University, says the study is BESHi ON MOOT /HA«OMADCf MKCD [ RQOLOM1MKMMDCT ■ndfw...

These will be compared with the sites where sludge was applied. Sludge was sprayed on the aspen and oak stands in the fall of 1981. The pine and other hardwood sites will receive sludge this spring. The site was chosen becaues its timer types and kinds of soil occur extensively, in Michigan. MSU forest and wildlife scientists are taking the opportunity to research the effects of sludge on tree gorwth and wildlife in the area. The earliest tree response is expected on the aspen site, where the trees are 4 to 7 years old. “Oh this site we expect to begin to see response easily at the end of two years,” says Hart ‘The response of the older trees is expected to, be less pronounced and more delayed.” The project will also monitor the levels of nutrients and other elements in the soil, water, vegetation and animal tissue. Though there is concern about ac­ cumulation of heavy metals in animals, Jonathon Haufler, associate professor of fisheries and wildlife at MSU, says that the low levels ofheavy metals in the sludge make it unlikely there will be any environmental problems. The disposal of sludge on forest or agricultural land has great possibilities but also some drawbacks, Hart says. If the sludge is clean, then there should be demand for the resource to fertilize cropland and forestlands. “The potential toxins ard the potential liability,” he says, “if point-source pollution by heavy metals were controlled, we’d have just a nutrient-rich com­ pound.” Other problems are the feasibility and the costs of transporting the sludge to forested areas: “Part of the problem is that a place like Detroit is miles away from continued next column CASHandCARRY Friday & Saturday ONLY Redimix CEMENT 90 lb.

In the meantime, most legislators will be cam­ paigning for reelection for the August 10 primary election. This year’s primary will determine who the candidates will be in November for Governor, U.S. Senate, U.S. Congress, the Michigan Senate and the Michigan House, plus many local and county offices throughout the state. SALES TAX ON NEW CARS - The Michigan House and Senate have approved legislation that will allow new car buyer», beginning in 1984, to pay sales tax on new cars based on the difference between the value of the trade-in and the price of the new car. STRIP MINING - Prior to summer recess, the Michigan Senate unanimously approved legislation that gives the State of Michigan control and regulation of any eventual strip mining that may occur in the state. At the present time, the federal government regulates strip mining in Michigan, but their interim regulations do not require permits or performance bonds, something the Senate-passed bill contains. The House is expected to act quickly on the measure later this summer. CREDIT CARD LAWS APPROVED - A controversial bill was passed by the House that would forbid oil companies from charging more for gasoline that is purchased with a ’X H credit card. Legislation was also approved that prohibits oil companies from charging gas station owners more money if - they honor credit cards. Opponents of the bill claim that state action infringes on the transactions between business and consumer, and sets a dangerous precedent. SAY “YES” TO “SAY YES TO MICHIGAN” The Michigan Travel Bureau has experienced a dramatic in­ crease in inquiries regarding tourist travel in Michigan, thanks to the “Say Yes to Michigan” campaign. While the campaign, which was unveiled during Superbowl XVI in Pontiac in January, has received much criticism from the public in its early stages, it appears the gimmick is picking up steam. Last year, there were 5,421 inquiries made to the state regarding Memorial Day weekend travel information. This year, there were over 16,500 such inquiries. Tourism saw an increase of $14 million this Memorial Day weekend compared to last year. Toll free numbers for travelers are (in-state) 800-292-2520 and (out-of-state) 800-248-5700. INDEPENDENCE DAY - It’s hard to believe, but the Fourth of July is here already, and summer is in full swing. Events around the state include the kickoff of the national Cherry Festival in Traverse City, July 4-10; the In­ ternational Cherry Pit Spitting Contest at Tree Mendus Fruit Farm in Eau Claire, July 3; the International Frisbee Tournament at the Houghton County Arena in Hancock, July 3-4; the Manistee National Forest Festival, July 2-5; the Summer Festival, Central City Park in Westland, July 2-4; and, the National Soaring and Hang Gliding Festival, July 2­ 4, at the Elberta Bluffs-Frankfort Airport, in Frankfort and Elberta.

Specific forms of arthritis will be discussed. Help from the class? Well, comments of former students were: “I found that I was very misinformed about my arthritis.” “Because of the class, I talked to my doctor about the kind of arthritis that I had, the types of Blood test and treatment for my disease.” Barbara Rasmussen stated, “My arthritis is not advanced to a stressful stage; however, I’ve been made aware for the need to be cautious and not let my arthritis get out of control. Summer activities planned for Vermontville museum Beginning this Saturday, July 3, and continuing through August 14, the members of the Ver­ montville Historical Society will be keeping the museum open to the general public from 1 to 4 p.m. It is hoped on the first four Saturdays that friends in­ terested in seeing the many artifacts displayed on the first floor will avail them­ selves of the bpportunity. Giving of their Saturday afternoons to the project will be Ben and Esther Ommen, Ava Kroger, Leta Nagle, Ruth Shepard, Katherine Snider, Robert Todd and Martha Zemke. Beginning on Saturday, July 31, and continuing the next two Saturdays, the old Academy will revert to its former use and provide entertainment and in­ struction for the young children of their community.

Nashville, Tuesday, June 29, 1982 — Page 14 Say 'Yes' to Michigan Auto Club predicts busy holiday weekend Memorial Day weekend travel that defied the downward pull of Michigan’s economy and expected strong Fourth of July ac­ tivity should help push state tourism above last sum­ mer’s $1.4 billion spending level, according to the Automobile Club of Michigan. “Projected traffic counts, requests for travel in­ formation and advanced campground and lodging reservations indicate heavy tourism activity during the 78-hour July 4th weekend,” stated Auto Club’s Travel Operations Manager James ckikdzen of cA^iz. and ona [d ^faedezt zeguest tke fifeasuze ofyouz comfianq at an Ofien cdfouit in ceCekzation oftke ^doztietk cdlnniveziazq oftkeizfiazenti mazziage on e^atuzdaq, tke ten tk offfnkq teen kundzed and eighty-two iom one untiCfouz tiCfouz o cclock (Weit <s44ain <c^tzeet Drury. . “July 4th is traditionally Michigan’s busiest summer weekend.” The Michigan Department of Transportation expects motorists to travel 725 million miles in Michigan during the holiday, which is equal to last year’s total. A record 870 million miles was traveled during the 102-hour, 1972 July 4th period. This year’s holiday of­ ficially runs from 6 p.m. Friday (July 2) to mid-night Monday (July 5). Officials of the state’s four major tourist associations believe that interest generated by the “Say Yes to Michigan” campaign and through regional advertising should help propel the state to a 5 percent tourism spending increase over last summer. The number of inquiries received by the Upper Peninsula and East Michigan tourist associations are up 100 percent over last year. Southeast Michigan tourism officials have doubled their volume of publications to keep pace with requests. The West Michigan Tourist Association annually receives about 100,000 requests for its summer tourism guide, but through mid-June the office already had distributed 60,000 guides. Auto Club routing requests for Michigan destinations are up nearly 5 percent for the first five months of this year over 1981. Sixty-five of the 72 state park campgrounds may fill during the July 4th weekend. Of 54 Lower Peninsula state campgrounds, only Hoeft, near Rogers City, is expecting vacancies throughout the holiday. Space also is expected throughout thb period in the U.P. at Porcupine Mountain, Lake Gogebic, Fort Wilkins, Baraga, Muskallonge Lake and the Paradise Unit of Tahquamenon Falls. In addition, most private campgrounds are expected to fill in southern Michigan over the holiday period. Reservations are advised there and at sites near popular resort communities in northern Lower Michigan. Campers who arrive before Thursday evening should find space available at most state and private campgrounds. Auto, Club’s survey of chambers of commerce in major tourism areas shows holiday activity should be at least as strong as last year. Advanced bookings of holiday accommondations in t^ie Traverse City area are heavier than normal. In addition to holiday activity, the city will bulge with visitors to the 57th annual National Cherry Festival July 4 - 10. Although the summer tourism season appears bright, Michigan apparently is losing some business to Tennessee. From January through May, the Auto Club served 11 percent fewer AAA members from other states than last year. “The decline is a reflection of some Illinois, Indiana and Ohio residents traveling to the World’s Fair in Knoxville instead of vacationing in Michigan,” said Drury. Holiday no-lead gasoline prices average about 2 cents lower than last year. Supplies will be plentiful throughout the holiday. An average 91 percent of the stations will operate daylight hours during the holiday, 48 Vermontville news by Ava Kroger The average daily at­ tendance at Bible Schoole was about 50 children who seemed to enjoy it.

July 6,1982 Frank Walsh Day planned at Charlton Park An all-Barry County picnic, designated Frank Walsh Day, will be held at Charlton Park on Friday, July 9, at 6 p.m., a press release announced last week. Walsh, 53, the director at Charlton Park for 12 years, announced his resignation last week. He cited conflicts with the Parks and Recreation Commission that have surfaced since a campground, was proposed at the park as part of the reasons for his~resignation. (See June 24, issue of The Hastings Banner) Those attending the picnic on June 9, are asked to bring a dish to pass and their own drinks and dishes. Tables will be set up on the village green or in the covered pavilion if the weather is wet. No admission will be charged. “This picnic is an op­ portunity for Barry County people'to thank Frank Walsh for the 12 years he has worked at Charlton Park, shepherding its growth and development,” the press release said. The picnic is jointly sponsored by the Barry County Parks, and Recreation'Commission, the employees of Charlton Park, and the Barry County Historical Society. Walsh has accepted a new position as curator of the Muskegon County Museum. Planning and zoning commission elects new chairman The Barry County Plan­ ning and Zoning Commission has elected Kevin Woods, 33, chairman replacing Kensinger Jones whose term expired. Woods, 320 W. Walnut, has been a commission member for two years. He is em­ ployed as planning director for the West Michigan Hospital Council in Grand Rapids, a trade association that has 33 members in 12 counties, none of which are in Barry County. Woods, a former planning director for the city of Springfield and a deputy planning director in Genesee County, New York, from 1973 to 1975, has lived in Barry County since 1978. In ad­ dition to being planning director in Springfield from 1975 to 1978, he served a year as acting city manager. By statute, Woods as chairman, also becomes a member of the Parks and Recreation Commission. Recently, Jones resigned as chairman of that com­ mission in the wake of a controversy over a proposed campground at Charlton Park. A native of Chicago, Woods is an active road runner and cross-country skier. He has competed in several area road runs including the annual Summerfest runs and the Old Kent Bank River Run. He is married and the father of two children. Two Lions make All-County team Two Maple Valley Lion baseball players have been named to the Reminder AHCounty baseball team, it was announced this week. Junior catcher Tony Dunkelberger and sophomore pitcher Jeff Starring received first team honors. Dunkelberger hit .309 this season, scoring 18 runs and knocking in 18 more. He also earned allconference honors. Starring was a .308 hitter this season. In addition he recorded a 4-2 record on the mound with a 1.35 ERA. Fair fun in Lake Odessa Smiles were the order of the day at the Lake Odessa Fair Friday. A large increase in attendance, madness on the midway and 21 harness races helped to kick the fair off. Rain cancelled some events over the weekend, but spirits stayed high at Michigan's first fair of the season. Antique Gasoline Engines ready to pop” and “putt” at Charlton Park Antique stationary and traction engines will be on exhibit and running Saturday and Sunday, July 10 and 11 at Charlton park's eleventh annual Antique Gasoline Engine Show. The show runs from 10:00 a.m.- to 5:00 p.m. each day. Charlton park is located off M-79 between Hastings and Nashville. For more information, call (616)945-3775. Charlton Park Village and Museum will host the eleventh annual Antique Gasoline Engine Show Saturday and Sunday, July 10 & 11. The show, which features antique stationary and traction engines running and working, will run from 10 a.m.-5 p.m. each day. The impact of the mechanical revolution of the nineteenth century on rural America is illuminated by the demonstrations which show how horsepower generated by steam and gasoline engines took over from the four-footed kind, and America became the wonder of the industrial and agricultural world. Antique stationary engines will be operating old farm equipment such as corn grinders and shelters, grist mills, buzz saws and drag saws. Antique tractors will be on exhibit and running throughout the show. A parade of antique tractors around the Park’s village green will highlight each afternoon, Following the parade, the old tractors will perform a series of com- petitive events. These in­ clude a Quick-Start Com­ petition and a Slow Race to determine which tractor can deliver power at the slowest speed. One of the rarest pieces of equipment in the show will be a Westinghouse 15 horse power steam traction engine, owned by Charlton Park. The engine built in the late 1800’s, has a vertical boiler. Irving Charlton, the park’s founder, purchased the engine in the late 1940’s and it has recently been restored. Other interesting tractors include a Rumely Oil-Pull, built in Battle Creek by a company that later became a part of Allis-Chalmers. A fully restored 1935 D. John Deere tractor will be on hand and an ancient 1915 Avery tractor will be running. It is one of a very few of this make still in operation. A unique stationary engine to be exhibited is an 1887 Oldshot tube Flame Ignitor, designed by R.E. Olds, of REO and Oldsmobile fame. The tube is heated by an open flame. The engine was owned by - George Washington Coats, one of Coat’s Grove’s earliest citizens, after whom the village took its name. A Flea Market will be held in conjunction with the show on Sunday, only. Items on sate will include tools, glassware, antiques, and crafts. Members of the Hastings Knights of Columbus will be selling barbequed chicken to persons attending the show. Admission to the Antique Gas Engine Show is $2 for adults age 12 and over, 50c for children under 12. Preschoolers are free. All events occur in the environs of an authentic Michigan Village of the late 19 century that has been re-constructed on the banks of the Thor­ napple River, just off M-79, between Hastings and Nash­ ville. Picnic and recreational facilities are available. Charlton Park is a unique attraction 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. �The Maple Valley Newt, Nashville, Tuesday, July 6, ,1982 — Page 2 Nashville Newsu j ! Since last week’s column appeared, we have received two more calls to identify ladies in the early art group photo published in our Memories story of June 22. First, Mrs. Adrien (Robie Davis) Pufpaff of Nashville phoned to say that the lady wearing a dark hat in the front row is her maternal grandmother, Mrs. William (Caroline) Brooks, who for many years operated what is remembered as the Com­ mercial Hotel, across from the lumberyard on South State Street. Robie remembers visiting Mrs. Brooks there. She also recalls hearing tales of her grandmother’s arrival in Nashville from New York State, via ox cart along a plank road that ran through Marshall. But Robie cannot recall ever seeing her grandmother doing any painting or drawing. The other identification call came from Mrs. Madesto (Mary Baird) De Santis of Nashville, who was able to name the lady with the gray hair and dark dress By Susan Hinckley y who graduated in 1928 Worn toward the left of the photo, fjEMgineering at in the back row.

Perhaps we can run it again Wotring Ford, still living in Kalamazoo. after all the names have Wayne Fuller also wrote been secured. about another early local In a recent column, a reader asked if anyone knew resident, Carrol Halbert, who is living at 3221 Birch whatever became of John L. Lane, Kalamazoo, 49007. Wotring, a Nashville boy Wayne intends to drop him a line, since recently acquiring his address. In a Toledo newspaper a few weeks ago, Fuller noted the obituary of Dr. Victor Halbert who died in Florida at age 97. He was a brother to Carrol. Victor practiced medicine in the Toledo area for 60 years, and according to the news article he had delivered over 4,500 babies. “The doctor lived in Sylvania and I always drove past his house on the way to Nashville,” wrote Fuller. Listed in the obituary were two sons living in Toledo, so Fuller called one of them and had a nice chat about the Halbert family and Nashville. It was during this conversation that Fuller learned the current address of Carrol, who according to his nephew is in poor health. In our NHS alumni listing, we find Carrol graduated in 1925. “Maybe some of the class members would like to drop him a line,” suggested Fuller. One of the more unusual things Wayne Fuller recalled about the Halbert famly was that they lived south of town in the first farmhouse he knew of to have an inside toilet. “It .drained into Quaker Brook which would be taboo now,” noted Fuller. As always, we appreciate receiving letters from our reade readers and enjoy sharing their recollections and comments. If anyone can give us a line on John Wotring, we would like to hear from them. Mr. and Mrs. Adrien Pufpaff of Nashville and Mr. and Mrs. Horace Van Nocker of Lacey enjoyed dinner together Wednesday at a restaurant in Stanton. Vern Staup of Nashville returned to Leila Hospital in Battle Creek Monday and at the time of this report was in isolation due to low resistance which might make it difficult for him to fight off a “bug”. However, he would enjoy hearing from his many Nashville friends, we are sure. A card or call would cheer him. The ad­ dress there is 300 North Ave., Battle Creek, 49016. Earl and Clara Pennock of rural Nashville are enjoying a visit of their daughter, Leigh Haroff and sons Adam and Aaron, recently of Ft. Sill, Oklahoma. They are in Nashville while Leigh’s husband, 2nd Lt. Woody Haroff, completes special training in Georgia. He will be in Michigan later in July, and in the fall the family will depart for Germany where he will be stationed for three years with the U.S. Army. Mrs. Veda Shull of Nash­ ville recently accompanied Howard and Lydia Burchett of Dowling on a trip to In­ diana. They stopped at Nappanee; had dinner at Goshen; then called on Veda’s son and family, Mr. and Mrs. Kendal Guy, at Bristol. Saturday evening, Mr. and Mrs. Jack Burchett of Dowling were callers at the Shull home. Sunday, Veda attended the 35th wedding anniversary celebration in honor of Joyce and Merle Hammond at their residence in Dowling. The Nashville Chamber of Commerce last week made a $200 donation to the Putnam Public Library Building Fund. Other donations last week came from Betty J.

For the second week in a row, Donna Bennett of Nash­ ville was top weekly weight loss winner when God’s No­ Munch Bunch met Monday at Nashville Baptist Church. She dropped three and onequarter pounds for the second straight week, to earn the title. July Oles of Charlotte lost nine and threequarter pounds during June to be named monthly weight­ loss winner. A baby shower for Mrs. Randy (Kim McMillon) Van Engen and son, Chad, will be held at 7 p.m. Thursday, July 8, at the Nashville Baptist Church. Quarterly business meeting of Nashville Baptist Church will be at the church at 7 p.m. Wednesday, July 14. Just as we were putting the finishing touches on this column, we had a call from Adolph Douse, Jr., of Nash­ ville, with some additional information on John Wotring. Very little current data seems to be available, but Adolph remembers that about twenty years ago John was working for Westclox in La Salle, Illinois, where he had been employed for a number of years following his 1928 graduation from the School of Engineering at University of Michigan. Back in the 1920s, Adolph visited the U. of M. campus and stayed with John at his fraternity house there. Adolph recalls that Wotring was a wonderful musician and often teamed up with his college classmate, Roe Tuttle, for some talented duets. Tuttle also, graduated from the School of Engineering at U. of M. in 1928, and according to Adolph, went to work for an aircraft company after that. Adolph last saw John Wotring about 20 years ago and believes he lived in Illinois, either at or near La Salle, at that time. He said as far as he knew, John rarely returned to Nashville to visit. On another topic, Adolph Douse reminisced about the five-cent sundaes he used to consume while seated at the counter of Barker’s Bakery, pictured in last week’s Memories of the Past as the local outlet for Fourth of July fireworks. At the time, Adolph was a very young lad, earning pocket money by doing odd jobs at the Nashville News office for Len W. Feighner. Later, of course, he went to work at the drug store for Von Furniss and later Bert Wotring (John’s father) before eventually acquiring his degree in pharmacy and later owning and operating the drug store where he had started work as an ap­ prentice during high school. Three local men ran in the 10-K (6.2 mile) Summer Circus Stampede at Portland Saturday. Rev. Don Roscoe finished 12th overall and first in his age group, with a time of 37:13. Larry Gonser, who was in the same category, finished in 6th for his age group and 27th in the race with a time of 39:33. In his first competitive race, Ray Aspinall finished 6th in his age group with a time of 45 minutes. All three men and others from this area expect to compete in several other area races in July.

NATALIE G AEDERT, CLERK VILLAGE OF VERMONTVILLE News of good things growing in state By Margaret G. McCall It’s blueberry season in the state where good things are growing! Blueberries are nature’s original convenience food. You don’t have to pit, peel or hull them - simply wash and enjoy by the handsful, in fresh salads or covered with Michigan cream and sugar. Delicious Michigan blueberries, available fresh from now until summer’s end, are ideal for making pancakes, pies, fnuffins and cool, refreshing summer beverages. Our state harvests the largest blueberry crop in the U.S., about 45 percent of the nation’s supply. A record 52 million pounds of blueberries were produced last year, worth more than $26.5 million, according to tne Michigan Department of Agriculture One-third of Michigan’s blueberry crop is sold through fresh market outlets each year. The remainder are processed into more than 35 different blueberry products for consumption year-round. If you’re going to pickyour-own at one of our state’s many blueberry farms or buy them at area markets, plan to get enough to put some extra ‘summer’ in your freezer or make some homemade jam. Select plump, firm berries, dark blue in color with the silvery bloom still covering them. The bloomis a natural protective waxy coating. Store berries for winter months the quick way by just putting them into containers and freezing. If you wash blueberries before freezing, they tend to become mushy when thawed. Blueberry muffins and blueberry pancakes are great for summer break­ fasts. The best way I know to prepare Hueberry pancakes is to use your favorite pancake recipe. Spoon batter onto griddle as usual, then sprinkle with a handful of washed, well-drained blueberries. Turn pancakes and finish baking, you’ll find the berries will be heated through, still firm and juicy. "Run" for Easter Seals The Easter Seal Society will be hosting a 15K Run and a Vz mile “Fun Run” on Saturday, July 17 at 8 a.m. Cosponsored by WCUZ Radio and Screenworks, Inc.

The following exerpts are gleaned from the Nashville Ancient History column published in the Nashville News from near the turn of the century into the 1930s; from the Turning Back the Pages feature of the 1940­ 60s; and from various early issues of the News.) .1876.. Vermontville, which always has been a dry town, came near to having a beer saloon last week. However, a group of citizens got wind of the move to license such a place and at the council meeting Monday night a Poster-Prints petition bearing 125 names, and objecting to the proposal, was presented to the village fathers. It now appears that Vermontville will try another century without a saloon. 1878.. . A. L. Mercer has traded is 40-acre farm in Maple Grove for 800 acres of land without buildings in Missouri. It just doesn’t seem a man can lose on a deal like that. 1880.. . The new Chemical works started operations July 3, and now the whistle can be heard at intervals during day and night. 1881.. . When the news reached Nashville Saturday afternoon that President Brides Looking for gifts for your attendants? We have lovely gifts in our LARGE Jewelry Dept.

Some businessmen closed their stores, several draped the national emblem in mour­ ning, and the bell of the Christian Church was tolled for half an hour. In all the churches Sunday, there were prayers for the ultimate recovery of the President. 1882.. . The dedication of the Catholic Church on Wednesday was witnessed by a full house, many of whom had never viewed a Catholic service before. Rev. J. A. Stroser of Grand Rapids performed the ceremony. The church was blessed inside and out by sprinkling upon it holy' water; holy mass observed, and three infants baptized. 1884.. . The wool market has been exceedingly lively this week, our streets thronged with loads of wool every day. Probably the largest clip of wool produced in either Barry or Eaton counties is that of Hiram Gridley of Kalamo, which aggregated 2300 lbs., sheared from 400 sheep. The biggest load of wool marketed here was brought in Saturday by A. Spaulding, who lives four miles southeast of Kalamo village. It weighed 1894 lbs. Hardy & Ainsworth alone have purchased 70,000 lbs. of wool so far this season. 1888.. . Fully 3,000 people attended the matinee at the driving park on the Fourth of July, and the event may be chronicled as a success in every detail. (1982 Note: The driving park was a race track and athletic grounds located north of the river along what is now Kellogg Street.) 1892.. . The official test of the water works which oc­ curred last Friday was very much of a disappointment to the majority of the people, inasmuch as the works ut­ terly failed to perform what was required of them. This was ascribed to various causes, one of the more probable being that the valves of the pumps were riot in proper condition. Another test will be given shortly. 1899.. . Some new home­ grown potatoes of excellent quality are being marketed in the village at the moderate price of sixty-five cents per -bushel. 1900.. . Beginning with the next issue of the News, one column each week will be devoted to runaways, smashups, broken limbs, broken backs, broken necks, sudden deaths, etc. We dislike such incidents but it is made necessary by some of our people purchasing a portion of the drove of mustangs which were brought here Monday by Reese & Chat­ field, dealers in western horses. Monday afternoon, the ponies were put up at auction and twenty-four of them were disposed of to the following persons: C. J. Scheidt (2); George Hart­ ford; O. D. Barnes (2); Dell Big news of a century ago in Nashville was the July 5, 1882, dedication of this church at State and Maple to Catholic usage. St. Cyril’s Parish purchased the sanctuary after the Baptist Society which built it in 1876 lost the property through foreclosure. Extensive remodeling done by the Catholics in 1898 is evident in this photo. Sacristy at rear left, dual minarets and oriel window were features added by the parish, which the church still serves after one hundred continuous years. In July 1906 the News reported that La Dore Walker had opened a summer1 kindergarten in Nashville and had enrolled a “goodly number of little tots." This photo is of La Dore, her three sisters, and their mother Mrs. Taylor Walker, at right. If identification of the girls is correct, from left are : Martha, Mary, Olive and La Dore. Cazier; H. E. Downing (5); A. J. Kelley, Vermontville; Cass Oversmith; Will Reynolds; Will Flory; P. A. Yourex, Maple Grove; Ward Gribben; and V. Norton, Maple Grove. 1901.. . One of the heaviest and most destructive storms which ever visited this vicinity occurred on the night of July 4, when four inches of rain fell within a time limit of four hours, and the bulk of it in two hours. Railroad traffic was halted with two washouts near the Otto Schulze farm and the bridge near Gregg’s Crossing was completely carried away. Throughout the county, road bridges are gone and fences and crops along streams are either entirely destroyed or badly damaged. 1902.. . Reliable thermometers hit a bit above the 100 mark on the 4th. 1905......

HOMETOWN YOUR FULL SERVICE LUMBER YARD DELIVERING-PLANNING-ESTIMATING-SAYING Call and Compare...852-O882 In Nashville -1 block East on the tracks by Mona Ellard, Extension Home Economist Many people have been busy gathering fruit, spending time sorting and washing it and after finding a favorite family recipe, spent time and money makeing their bounty into jams and jellies. Then after all their bother find the jam is runny, the jelly hasn’t set and they are not at all satisfied with the product. Here are some guidelines put out by Michigan' State University for jam and jelly making: —Do not substitute dry pectin for liquid or visa versa. If the recipe calls for dry, only use dry. IF you do make the substitution, you will end up with a different product texture. —Pectin can not be stored and used from year to year. The quality greatly decreases and may cause the jam or jelly from geling. —By using fruit not fully ripe you will cause the fruit in jam to float, so pick fruit when ripe and process as soon as possible. —It is important to measure the fruit ac­ curately. Many recipes call for a quart of fruit and then give you the equivalent in cups. Make sure you measure it out using a cup measure. Store jams and jellies, in jars in a cool, dry place. —When making jams and jellies, don’t double the recipe. Doing it all together creates problems with geling. * —Honey can be substitutued for sugar in equal amounts. But don’t sub- ’ stitute honey completely, use some sugar. By reducing the amount of sugar in recipes may save calories but open the product up to food borne micor-organisms that cause food poisoning. The high concentration of sugar prevents the micro­ organisms from growing. Don’t forget there will be free dial gauge pressure canner testing, Thursday, July 8, 1982 at Charlotte Coast to Coast from 10 a.m. to noon; and at Grand Ledge Gamble’s from 12:30 p.m. to 2 p.m. If you need additional information about food preservation call Mona Ellard, Eaton County Cooperative Extension Home Economist at 543-2310 or645-2351.

The stipulation was set at sewer rehabilitation project in the village. Ad­ Thursday’s council meeting vertisements for bids on the at the urging of Trustee proposed upgrading of Robert Fueri, Jr. “I don’t like paying these existing collection lines will be published soon in trade people from Jackson $20 an journals and area hour when the average (hourly) wage here in Nash­ ville is $3.35,” said Fueri, referring to the recent $405,000 municipal sewer expansion recently com­ pleted in the village. Conruction firms from Jackson were hired for that project. “We’ve got people around here that have done this kind of work all their lives,” said Fueri. He said he could foresee no trouble with labor unions since most of the skilled construction people are members of the same state union for contracting engineers. Village President John Hughes sympathized with Fueri’s viewpoint, but said the local work force stipulation “might scare off” contractors who are paying unemployment on their own presently laid-off employees. “They may want to put their own crews to work,” said Hughes. Tentative date for bid opening has been set for August 9. The project will rehabilitate old existing sanitary sewer lines by repair and in some cases, replacement, to separate storm sewers from sanitary sewers throughout areas of the village not covered under the recent expansion project. Bruce Kuffer, regional consultant for Williams & Works, engineers on the Nashville project, said the rehabilitation will cut down in infiltration and inflow of rain and ground waters into the sanitary sewer system. Presently these ground waters which do not require treatment are flowing into the new municipal facility on Brumm Road. Kuffer could not estimate at this point how much money would be saved by diverting the ground waters but indicated it could be a considerable amount. Construction of the rehabilitation project will be paid for by a local bond issue of Farmers Home Ad­ ministration funds as a second phase of Nashville’s recent expansion project which was more than 80 percent funded by state and federal grants. In other business Thur­ sday, the council: — Heard a progress report from Charles Leonard, vice­ president and general manager of Charter Tele­ Communications, Inc.

Leonard said the Continued on page 2- Local participants take honors at state horseshoe competition Horseshoes sailed through the air at Putnam Park over Fourth of July weekend as the Wolverine State Horseshoe Pitchers’ Association staged their 11th annual holiday meet in Nashville. Although the horseshoe courts at Nashville’s Put­ nam Park are said to be among the best in this area, few local people participated in a Fourth of July weekend tournament there of the Wolverine State Horseshoe Pitcher’s Association. Competitors from throughout Michigan were on hand for the 3-day event. Saturday there were 48 adult pitchers and six in the junior class. Sunday 43 adults and seven juniors played, and Monday’s competition brought 36 adults and six juniors. Organizer Jim Jarman of Nashville hopes for a better local turnout at the next secheduled WSHPA meet her on July 31-August 1. “We would like to see some people from Nashville show up to play,” said Jarman. Among the local winners on the hiliday weekend were Janet Jarman, who todk a first place trophy in Saturday’s adult competition; Patricia Jarman, who won a first in Junior class play on Monday; and Gree and Mickey Tilley, who claimed first and second place trophies respectively, in junior class competition Saturday and Sunday. Total overal attendance was down, said Jarman, because tournaments also were being held at Fenton and Brown City in Michgian and at Greenville, Ohio. Several area players were expected to attend a July lo­ ll meet at Wellsley, Ontario, at which Canadian Elmer Hohl, a five-times world horseshoe pitching cham­ pion, was scheduled to play. Jarman stressed that local people who wish to join in the next tournament at Putnam Park should not be “scared off” at the thought of having to compete against Call A players. Newcomers to association competition pitch 50 hor­ seshoes for qualification. Players are put into groups based on ringer percentage. Jarman said that the first time he ever pitched for tourne play, he had only three ringers out of 50 shoes. He has upped that average now and occasionally beat Class A players. “After all, they may have an ‘off’ day, and I may have a good day,” concluded Jarman. Organizer Jim Jarman and daughter, Denise, tally score sheets which will determine trophy winners. �The Maple Valley News, Nashville. Tuesday. July 13, 1982 — Page 2 Nashville News A man with Nashville ties was featured last Wed­ nesday evening on Grand Rapids Channel-8 (WOOD­ TV) in the popular “On the Michigan Road” show. In­ terviewed by host Dick Evans was Norman Brumm of Charlevoix, son of the late Howard Brumm, a Nashville native. With his wife, Judith, Norman operates a showroom near Charlevoix where their various artistic works are sold. Center of attention on the Wednesday presentation were decorative pieces the Brumms had crafted from tree burls. Some of their more elaborate natureinspired artwork pieces sell for as much as $200, Evans reported. One of Brumms’ tree burl creations was presented recently to Queen Beatrix of the Netherlands during her visit to west Michigan. The Brumms also work in copper, stoneware, and cut glass. Norman’s mother, the former Leia Palmer of Nashville, lives at Charlevoix. He is a nephew to Mrs. Isabelle Seitz and Carter Brumm, both of Vermontville; and is a cousin to Nelson and Bruce Brumm and Mrs. Phyllis Rizor, all of Nashville.

If no notification is given, the property owner will be charged sewer rates based on the original use of the building, retroactive to the date of the letter of intent. The change was adopted by the council after a resident complained that he was being charged double sewer rates for a 2-unit apartment house that now is being used as a single family dwelling.

Nashville, Tuesday, July 13, 1982 — Page 4 Memories of the pas by Susan Hinckley Faded photos bring back memories of Barnes School days The photos are old and faded now, but the memories they revive for Mrs. Leslie (Mabie Ostroth) Adams of Nashville are as bright as ever. It was the annual school picnic of the Barnes School on Barryville Road, located southwest of Nash­ ville. The year was 1908, believes Mrs. Adams. Usually the potluck picnic event, attended by parents and children throughout the district, was staged in late May on the school lawn. But that year, it was held at the farm of Cal Charlton, a brother to Irving D. Charlton who later became founder of the county park and museum which bears his name. The Charlton farm is the present-day Jim Carl place, just a bit north of the old Barnes School on the east Side of the road. (The schoolhouse, situated on the west side of Barryville Road, is now the residence of Lawrence Hook.) Picnic tables were set up in the Charlton barn, which since has burned and been replaced. “Everybody in the neigh­ borhood went to the school picnics,” reminisced Mrs. Adams. That particular year, she was one of seven girl students who presented a play on a makeshift stage in the Charlton barn to en­ tertain the picnic-goers. Such presentations were a popular pastime in the Barnes district. “We learned dialogues, recitations, and plays,” said Mrs. Adams. “There was always a Christmas play and people from other school districts would attend.” The performances were well rehearsed and properly done, serving as a vehicle of learning for the children. Mrs. Adams relates that at Barnes School, the students were taught the traditional subjects^ reading, arith­ metic, history, grammar, physiology, geography, spelling and penmanship. “We learned to write longhand so it could be read,” noted Mrs. Adams. ‘‘Nowadays, many youngsters just print.” The students at Barnes enjoyed spelling bees to test their knowledge. There also were buzz-downs. “They (the buzz-downs) trained us in multiplication tables,” explained Mrs. Adams. She estimates that the Barnes School had an NOTICE to VERMONTVILLE VILLAGE & TOWNSHIP RESIDENTS The Transfer Station opening dates for July 1982 have been changed.

During recess the young children often played traditional games: Drop the Han­ dkerchief, Antie-I-Over, or Pom Pom Pull Away. “The older ones played baseball,” remembered Mrs. Adams. In the win­ tertime, the youngsters built snow forts or played Fox and Geese.

Body found in abandoned car in Nashville, Saturday A 64-year-old Jackson man was found dead Saturday morning in an abandoned car in Nashville. William W. Wright, 1228 S. Jackson St., apparently died from natural causes, said a spokesman from the Barry County Sheriff’s Depart­ ment. Wright had a history of heart problems. Sidney Green, proprietor of R & F Industries at 230 S. Main St. in Nashville, discovered the body in a car parked in front of his business and alerted the sheriff’s department. Deputy Frank Misak, dispatched to the site, found Wright curled up in a fetal position in the back seat of the abandoned Oldsmobile Toronado. A paper sack containing articles of clothing were found beneath the dead man’s head. Deputies said it appears that Wright had selected the auto as a place to sleep. The Nashville ambulance transported the body to Pennock Hospital in Hastings for an autopsy. Doctors who performed an autopsy on Wright say he apparently died of natural causes. Deputies say papers found on Wright indicate he had recently been treated at Kalamazoo’s Borgess Hospital for congestive heart failure and cardiomyopathy. Several witnesses say they saw Wright, who was ap­ parently transient, the day before, and that he appeared in good spirits. Anyone interested in...

If you do, please consider my letter as an entry. My husband and I were raised to show respect to our dead and their final resting place. People show their respect by placing flowers on graves on Decoration Day. My husband bought, planted and nurtured some beautiful geranium plants. He planted these in the urns about a week before Decoration Day. Going back to check on them a few days later, he found the large urn had been stripped clean. Fortunately there was time to replace them with inferior plants. Is one of our old traditions going to be scrapped because there are some people who feel that they are entitled to reach out and take anything which attracts them? I really feel soory for these people. I wonder, if some day, someone will steal the flowers from their graves, providing there’s someone left who cares enough to do it. Thank you for letting me express my thoughts. Mrs. C.E.

Box A, Nashville, Michigan Phone 945-9554 (Hastings) The Maple Valley News, Nashville, Vol. Ill - No. 4 — Tuesday, July 20, 1982 Cogswell re-elected Maple Valley School Board president Wayne Cogswell has been reelected president of the Maple Valley Board of Education. Charles Viele was elected vice president at the board’s organizational meeting July 12 and Virginia Fox was reelected treasurer. Dale Ossenheimer was named secretary. Trustees on the board are Ronald Tobias, Merle Martin, and David Hawkins. The board members ap­ proved the depository of school funds in the Michigan National Bank covering general fund account, in­ ternal activity accounts, hot lunch account, building and site accounts, debt retirement account and payroll account. Mrs. Eloise Wheeler represented Security National Bank at the meeting and asked that consideration also be given Security National Bank for depository of funds. It was pointed out that the school district has a supply of checks from Michigan National Bank, and also consideration of any change in the future would have to be considered prior to the July meeting. The board members agreed to evaluate the situation next March regarding the 1983-84 school year. The board members voted to hold the regular monthly board meetings in the ad­ ministration building on the second Monday of each month with the meetings beginning at 7 p.m. and adjourning not later than 11:30 p.m. General fund bills in the amount of $17,620.82 were approved for payment. The June 18 payroll for Title I in the amount of $5,320; June 25 payroll in the amount of $15,787.85; June 30 Title I payroll in the amount of $5,320.00 and the July 7 payroll in the amount of $12,013.99 were approved for payment and transfer to the payroll account. Superintendent Caroil Wolff reported that the athletic boosters had paid the school district $1,604.72 covering the costs of the spring sports which were billed the athletic boosters. Wolff also reported that a meeting had been held with the band booster officers regarding pro-rating of costs for band supplies and equipment repair for the amount of time involved in band activities outside the school day. No action was taken until the officers have an opportunity to talk with the band director, Duane Thatcher. The band boosters have made payment to the school district to cover the cost of the band director’s salary for activities outside the regular school day which are covered under the ex­ tracurricular agreement with the teacher association. Therefore, both the athletic boosters and band boosters have paid the salary costs involved under the ex­ tracurricular schedule in addition to paying the transportation costs in­ volved in transporting students to athletic and band activities. The board members voted not to join the Michigan Association School Boards, Inc. for the 1982-83 school year which would have cost the school district $1,193. The Maple Valley School District wasn’t a member during the .past school year. General approval was given the acceptance of tuition students during the 1982-83 school year providing the student obtains a release from the'school district of residence. The complete policy will be presented at the regular August board meeting. The board voted to table any action relative to changing the mileage ex­ pense policy until the August meeting. Also, a discussion was held regarding changing the policy related to ninth grade basketball players being able to ride home from basketball games with their parents instead of having to ride the bus home con­ sidering that the ninth grade games in the new league will be played at 4:30 p,m. the same day as the varsity and junior varsity games. Presently all athletes have to ride the school bus to and from athletic contests. This was tabled until the August board meeting. Approval was given the purchase of a new com­ pressor for the high school shop from Nashville Hard­ ware at a cost of $360 which was the low bid received from businesses within the school district. It was agreed that the truth ih taxation hearing will be held at the regular August board meeting. An executive session was held to discuss progress related to negotiations with the Eaton County Education Association (Maple Valley Teachers). A few concerned parents attended the meeting, and a discussion was held related to Fuller Street kindergarten teacher Pam Hunt and the operation of the kin­ dergarten along with con­ sideration for assignment of teachers for the coming school year for kindergarten in view of anticipated enrollment. No action was taken. The board members voted to schedule a special meeting to further discuss the issue. Wayne Cogswell voted nay. The meeting will be held at 7 p.m. Monday, August 2, in the ad­ ministration building. Transportation Supervisor Gerald Aldrich was present at the meeting. There was some discussion regarding the three tenths (.3) mile walk-out stipulation, seniority of bus drivers related to changing routes, and the possibility of eliminating one route out of Nashville considering declining enrollment. No action was taken at this time. The Hecker Agency is the agent for the Workers’ Compensation Policy, and it was approved to change the coverage to the Transamerjca Insurance Com­ pany replacing the Hartford Insurance Company. St. Cyril's ready to celebrate 100th anniversary Sunday by Susan Hinckley A noon mass Sunday, July 25, followed by a potluck dinner and musical events for parishioners of St. Cyril Catholic Church in Nashville will mark the 100th an­ niversary of the congregation. Bishop Paul V. Donovan of Kalamazoo will conduct the special centennial dedication mass, which replaces the usual 9:30 a.m. mass for that day. The meal for parishioners will follow the service. A pig roast will be featured at the dinner to be served at 1:30 p.m. on tables set up on Maple Street, which will be closed from Main to State for the occasion. Music com­ mencing at 2 p.m. will be furnished by Chris Bellisle, fashion designer-songwriter from Kalamazoo, and her gospel group, Sacrifice of Praise. Later musical en­ tertainment, including some gospel songs, will be per­ formed starting at 3 p.m. by a group led by Steve Youngs, director of religious education at St. Rose parish in Hastings. The Nashville Catholics are celebrating the founding in 1882 of their parish, and the July 5, 1882 dedication of their sanctuary to Catholic usage. The church has served the congregation continuously since that time. The building was acquired by the parish after the Baptist Society, which built it in 1876, lost it through foreclosure. Extensive remodeling was done by the Catholics in 1898. In recent years, the congregation has added a spacious parish hall to the rear of the church, located at the corner bf State and Maple streets. The most recent improvement to the church was a project begun last year which sandblasted white paint from the exterior to reveal the original red brick surface.

Observing the 100th an­ niversary celebrations will be St. Cyril Catholic in Nash­ ville and the Peace United Methodist at Barryville. The Catholics, who organized as a parish in 1882, dedicated their present sanctuary on Maple Street to Catholic usage on July 5,1882, and the church has been in con­ tinuous service to the parish since that date. (It was built in 1876 by the Baptist Society but was lost by them through foreclosure.) The Catholics will mark the centennial anniversary with special mass and parish events on July 25. (Details elsewhere in this issue fo the Maple Valley News.) The Methodists at Barryville organized in 1878 and on August 1,1882, dedicated the new brick church on presentday Scott Road which is still in use by the congregation. In 1969, a national merger of the Methodist and United Brethren churches brought about the consolidation of the North Maple Grove Evangelical U.B. into the Barryville Methodist. In special services set for Sunday, August 1, the congregation will' mark the 100th anniversary dedication of their red brick sanctuary Both churches are designated as state historical sites, the Catholics having received that status earlier this year. The Barryville church was marked with the stateapproved sign some time ago. The history of the Barryville church will ap­ pear as a Memories of the Past feature in the July 27 issue of the Maple Valley News. The history of St. Cyril’s Catholic Church was the topic of a Memories published March 31, 1981 in the News. Incidentally, an exhibit tracing the 100-year history of the Peace United Methodist Church will be displayed this week, July 18­ 24, at the Barry County Free Fair in Hastings. Over the past more than three-and-a-half years of writing a weekly Memories of the past feature (some 185 stories by our count), we’ve doubtless made our share of mistakes, as can often happen when dealing with occasionally inaccurate old news accounts, sometimes faulty memories, and our own ineptness. Last week’s “blinger” can be strictly attributed to the latter. We incorrectly identified the early school oh Barryville Road as the Barnes School, when in fact it was the Branch School that Mabie Ostroth Adams attended and so fondly remembered. Our apologies to Mrs. Adams for our error. We always ap­ preciate hearing from our readers who can tip us off to errors in our stories, but surprisingly, we had only one call on this big goof, though we are sure more than one reader must have known that the Barnes School was not located on Barryville Road. As we understand it, the Barnes district was east of Nash­ ville. At any rate, for those of you who clip Memories for scrapbooks, please also clip this correction and paste it alongside last week’s story, so that future readers will There are many things we might tell you about the methods we use in our funeral service.

The local folks had seats which allowed them a view of Johncock’s pit area and also of Brace Jenner, NBC commentator for live TV coverage of the event A cooling breeze and overcast skies which masked a scorching sun added to the viewing pleasure' of the spectators. The only tragedy to mar the day was a collision of the autos driven by Rick Mears and A. J. Foyt, resulting in ’ minor injuries to the latter. The local folks report that there were thirty lead changes in the race, involving six dif­ ferent drivers. Toward the end, Johncock maintained his lead for some time before the exciting moment of passing the checkered flag to victory.

Though “fish stoires” have been published year-’round, the greatest number of such reports seem to be con­ centrated in issues from May to October, the months when anglers were out in force on Thornapple River and various area lakes - the most popular of the latter spots for Nashville fishermen being Thornapple Lake or Saubee, near Sunfield. Here, for the enjoyment of Maple Valley News readers, we present excerpts of fishing accounts which elightened and en­ tertained Nashville News readers of an earlier day.) May 25, 1877...Fishing now is bully in Thornapple River and Lake, and the bass and pickerel are being pulled out by the hundreds. Von W.

This scene from the 1920’ s was taken above the dam, just west of the old iron bridge. Faintly visible in the background (left) is the old waterworks building and smokestack. Pickerel and bass were popular early catches in the pond. O! die Fische (Oh! the Fish) exclaims a German phrase inscribed on the face of this Nashville photo card dated July 3, 1927. Subjects are unidentified, but the formally-dressed gentleman may be fishing in the Thornapple River behind the old grist mill which stood on North Main Street from 1881 until 1977, and which, at the time of this photo, was owned by the Lass family. The woman appears to be holding the angler's jacket. wait, and were arrested by the sheriff Monday night at Thornapple Lake with more than a dozen bass in their boat. June 8, 1905...The open season on brook trout started Monday with a hard freeze, and the day was also a frost for most fishermen. July 5, 1906...The Furniss brothers, Von, George, Hugh and Clayton passed Sunday at Saubee Lake. June 28, 19O7...There was probably more fish taken out of Thornapple Lake Sunday than on any day previous in a long time. The excursion train took in a great many people and the lake was alive with fishermen. One man caught and sold nearly ten dollars worth of blue gills. Some nice bass and pickerel were landed. October 14, 1909...E.D. Barber caught a muskellung at Thomapple Lake Sunday which was exactly four feet in length and weighed 28 pounds. He was trolling along in the boat, and scrapped the monster for about half an hour, but was finally compelled to call for assistance to put the “Muskie” into the boat. The fish was hooked in the central body of the lake, iin front of Cole’s Hotel, but was finally put into the boat west of Webb’s landing, a quarter of a mile from where he was hooked. June 23, 1924...Dr. Jack Brumm and John Dull landed a 26 lb. muskellung at Thornapple Lake one day last week. June 11, 1925...Four men have been arrested and fined during the last week for using gill nets in Thornapple Lake. June 18, 1926...Conservation officers have been busy the last week, having arrested eight fishermen who got bass fever and started fishing before the season’s opening. July 3, 1930...Charles Dahlhouser caught a black bass weighing 4 lbs. 12 ozs. Sunday at Saddlebag Lake. August 14, 1930...Harry Hammond of Vermontville caught a 28-lb. mukellunge at Thornapple Lake Sunday. E.D. Barber, also of Ver­ montville, landed at 19pounder, and reports hooking one that gott way that was “much larger”. August 21, 21, 1930... Fishermen in Thor­ napple Lake, during the past week or ten days, have taken several muskellunge. Latest reports are to the effect that everybody fishes for this large gamester and the more experienced anglers have been lucky enough to land one, sometimes two. W. Christopher,, owner of Morgan park, on Monday reported that his father, Charles Christopher, caught two on Sunday, weighing ten to twelve pounds. One of his cottagers caught one Saturday that weighed about 9% lbs. In addition to these a lot of pike are being caught as well as bass. August 28, 1930...After playing him for threequarters of an hour, Charles Dahlhouser landed a 14pound muskellunge at Thornapple Lake one day last week. Phil Dahlhouser was rowing the boat while Charlie did the hard work. The fish was in the boat once and jumped out. The second time he was brought into the boat Phil jumped right on top of him and caught him by the gills with his hands. As a result Phil has a badly chewed set of fingers, the gills of this particular kind of fish being almost as sharp as its teeth.

The Trust Fund will be used to finance child abuse prevention and service efforts. RED TART CHERRIES! - The Michigan Department of Agriculture reports that there’s a record crop of red tart cherries being harvested right now in Michigan — the Cherry Capitol of the World. In fact, three-fourths of the nation’s cherries are grown right here in the Great Lakes State. Need a new idea on how to prepare cherries? Try making Cherry Shrub. Here’s how: Simmer red tart cherries in the top of a double boiler until the juice is ex­ tracted. Strain through cheese cloth, sweeten to taste and refrigerate. When ready to serve, pour over ice cubes and add about half water (or sod water for fizziness). You may want to spice it up with a pinch of cinnamon or cloves. The Cherry Shrub was a popular drink in the 19th century, and many recipes can still be found with variations of the above.

Led by Ryan Warner’s 7 for 7 hitting with two home runs and 13 RBIs and Scott Castelie’s 6 for 6 at the plate, the team kept their op­ ponents off balance. Spectacular defensive plays by Darrell Stine at third base, Derek Brown at shortstop, Kirk Warner at second and Ryan Warner at first snuffed out each team as they tried to rally from behind. Coach Steve Warner noted the championship was a total team effort with a .697 batting average for the day.

Tuesday, July 20, 1982 — Page 10 Superstars set for Ionia 'Free' Fair The Ionia Free Fair’s grandstand shows will present an array of show­ business superstars that are probably unmatched during the history of the event, fair officials say. The line-up includes a legendary comedian-actor, the “First Lady of Country Music”, this year’s country music “Entertainer of the Year” award winners, an Australian rock group, a soap opera actor who is a singing idol, and a country star who has achieved im­ mense popularity as Burt Reynolds’ movie sidekick. George Burns is the legend. The 84-year old performer steps before the footlights August 2 at 6:30 p.m. and 9 p.m. Also in the Burns’ show are the “New a Seekers”, vocal­ instrumental group with credits that include ap­ pearances with many top stars and numerous major television commercials. Australia’s popular rock group, “Air Supply”, will be on hand for an 8 p.m. per- formance August 3. The band recently toured Europe and features laser lights and other special effects. Loretta Lynn is the un­ disputed “First Lady of Country Music.” She makes her third Free Fair ap­ pearance at 6:30 p.m. and 9 p.m., August 4. Until Miss Lynn’s first visit to Ionia in 1973, country music stars were not booked to headline the fair’s major grandstand shows. But her sold-out performances, “cracked the country music barrier” by proving to fair officials that country music would be the big box office draw of the future. She’ll be joined by the “Thrasher Brothers”, one of country music’s fastest rising instrumental-vocal groups and the winners of five consecutive Grammy Awards. “Alabama”, winners of country music’s “En­ tertainer of the Year” award and one of the country music’s premier attractions, will play before anticipated sell-outs August 5 at 6:30 Sports Travel Insurance? One name says it best. p.m. and at 9 p.m. Advance tickets sales are very heavy for the ap­ pearance of Rick Springfield at 8 p.m., August 6. The teenage singing idol first gained national attention as Dr. Noah on television’s “General Hospital”. His record hits include “Don’t Talk to Strangers” and two Albums, “Working Class Dog”, and “Success Hasn’t Spoiled Me Yet”. Jerry Reed brings his considerable music talents to the fair August 7 at 8 p.m. He’s been featured in several Burt Reynolds’ movies, including his memorable role in “Smokey and the Bandit”. Paul Lennon, a longtime Free Fair favorite, will emcee and perform throughout the week. In addition to the Monday through Saturday shows, the fair will present for the first time, -a gospel singing show at 8 p.m., August 1, featuring “The Masters Five”, one of gospel music’s top singing groups. Two other groups, “The Telestials’’ and “The Singing Americans”, will round out the show.

(517) 852-9338 henever someone of whom we were excep­ tionally fond goes out of our lives for one reason or another, we are inclined to say that no one will ever take that person’s place; whether it be a dear friend, a beloved teacher, a retired clergyman or anyone who has had a profound influence over us. Actually, no one can ever exactly replace another person. This is because God made us all individuals with distinct personalities; even so-called identical twins. However, fortunately the human heart has an unlimited storage capa­ city; so that a new person can come into our lives and make a brand new place in our af­ fections, while leaving the old one preserved intact. Remember that God alone cannot be replaced by another, and that He will never need to be as long as we follow our faith and seek His guidance and love. Trowbridge Service - AUTO SERVICE CENTER 130 S.

Exhibitors' displays draws farmers to MSU Ag Expo By Allen P. Krizek County Ext. Director Why would agricultural producers from all over Michigan want to travel to Michigan State University in the middle of July? To see the. largest farm equipment show in the state, of course. More than 35,000 farmers and others are expected to gather at MSU July 20-22 for the third annual Ag. Expo. ‘‘Michigan State University and the Michigan agricultural industry are teaming up to provide a major educational event for agricultural producers,” says William Bickert, MSU agricultural engineer. “The state’s agricultural producers are coming to Ag. Expo to see the latest in agricultural equipment, products and services.” Over 300 commercial exhibitors will display their most recent models of farm machinery and equipment.

How can you harvest the grain and not lose half of it because the sieves are plugged with green leaves or tear up the combine by running tough green rag and pig weeds through the cylinder? One alternative is to swoth the wheat and let dry for 2 or 3 days. This will allow the weeds to dry down before going through the combine. A haybinder may be able to do this if the rollers can be opened up far enough to prevent seed and head separation. The problem with doing this is the weather. Three or four days of rainy weather after cutting and you will be in trouble. The crop should be cut at 15-18. percent moisture to reduce shatter losses. Another advantage is that you can harvest earlier. As soon as the wheat is 18 percent, you can cut and then thrash in 2 or 3 days providing the weather cooperates.

Hope, Grand Ledge 48837 again. Treatment guidelines are as follows: 1. In the first generation where 70 percent or more of the small plants show the white round spots from early feeding of the larvae. 2. In the second generation where there are one or more egg masses per plant and when the eggs are in the “black-head” stage (that is, when the black head or the larvae can be seen in the egg). Or in the second generation when the first early feeding is seen. If either generation is not detected until holed leaves are seen, treat only if the larvae (or worms) are still small (less than % inch), and are still in the upper open area of the leaf sheaths or whorls. In application of in­ secticides, granulers penetrate better than sprays into whorls and leaf sheaths. Therefore, granules are strongly recommnded whenever possible. Sprays for the first generation corn borer should be applied by Farm Lane and Mt. Hope Road, close to the central campus. Free shuttle buses will be available to the 50acre tillage demonstration site, the campus and crop variety trial tours. The machinery displays will represnet almost every mechanized area in a typical farm operation. Examples include irrigation systems, field machinery, dairy equipment and supplies, livestock, handling equip­ ment, grain harvesting, handling and storage systems, sprayers, buildings, seed, and fer­ tilizer and supplies and service. “This complete machinery exhibition will allow farmers to see the latest machinery available on the market and enable them to compare systems,” Bickert says.

At this time European Corn Borer poses the greatest threat to corn yields that we can do something about. Again, growers are encouraged to check their field for this pest. Even fields that were not corn last year are susceptible to corn borer damage this year.

Box A, Nashville, Michigan Phone 945-9554 (Hastings) The Maple Valley News, Nashville, Vol. 111 - No. 5 — Tuesday, July 27,1982 Nashville law will help eliminate loitering in village parking lot by Susan Hinckley Armed with an ordinance adopted Thursday by the Nashville council, village police will be better able to control noisy activities on municipal parking lots. Recent disturbances have resulted in a number of complaints from tenants of apartments adjoining the large village-owned lot west of the Main Street business district. The new law, which takes effect immediately, applies to all municipal parking lots and provides for criminal prosecution of violaters. It was patterned after a similar park control or­ dinance adopted by the village in 1979. “The ordinance will eliminate loitering that takes place (on the municipal parking lot) after a certain hour,” said said Village President John Hughes. He said officers had asked the council to take action so that they could better police the lot. Hughes explained that prior to the adoption of the ordinance Thursday, the only laws governing the parking lot were the state’s uniform traffic code. “There was no way to move out people who were creating a disturbance,” said Hughes. The new law provides for the village president to be vested with the authority of parking lot manager, a post he can delegate to an ap­ pointee, which Hughes in­ dicated he Would. Stipulated under the or­ dinance is an activities curfew of 11 p.m., the same time set in the village’s park ordinance. In other action Thursday, the council: — Accepted the low bid of $65,333 by Reith-Riley Construction Company, Inc. of Battle Creek for paving all or portions of the following village streets: Perrine; Edna; Homer; Brumm Road from Main to the west village limits; Kellogg to the east village limits; Maple Street from Queen to Middle; the north extension of Queen; the south portion of State; Pearl; a west section of Casgrove; and Gregg from Lentz to Homer. The project is expected to-be completed this summer. — Referred back to the. council’s Park Committee proposed regulations governing public rental and use of the village-owned Community Center building in Putnam Park. The committee will make a recommendation on rental fees and controls. — Agreed to hire Hastings attorney David Dimmers to represent the village in all criminal cases in which the defendant is charged under local ordinance.

The Rosts said they already have had two sur­ veys done to back up their claim that the village park has infringed on their property. — Accepted an offer from local Michigan chapters of the National Campers and Hikers Club to conduct their fourth annual tree-planting project in Nashville the last weekend of September. In the past three years, the NCHC has planted over 250 maples in the village to replace ancient trees which have been lost to age or disease. St. Cyril’s observes 100th birthday at Sunday outing Special services Sunday, August 1, at Peace United Methodist church at Barryville will mark the 100th anniversary of the dedication of this sanctuary, located four miles west of Nashville on Scott Road. The official organization of the original Methodist Protestant congregation which built the church, dates back to 1878. Over the past century, mergers have changed the organization of the church but the red brick sanctuary has been in continuous use by the congregation. Mergers have changed the M.P. Church organizational structure since that time. In 1939, the Methodist Protestants and Methodist Episcopals were joined. Thirty years later, the national merging of Methodist with the Evangelical United Brethren brought about the union of local church and resulted in the 1971 consolidation of North Maple Grove E.U.B. into the Barryville church. The red brick sanctuary there has been in continual service to the congregation for the past 100 years. A centennial display prepared by United Methodist Women of Peace United Methodist Church attracted attention at the Barry County Fair last week. The exhibit featured a scale model of the church, a typewritten church history, photos, and a listing of atl pastors who have served the congregation since its formation.

On another topic, Guy Howell commented on early “beltings” in Nashville. His memory had been jogged by our recent Nashville News item on the recent belling of Carroll and Marge Wolff on the occasion of their 25th wedding anniversary. Normally, beltings were reserved for newlyweds, were staged as a surprise, and were quite a tradition in Nashville until recent years. “When I was growing up in Nashville, there were several bellings,” wrote Howell. “There was one that could have been tragic. The couple came out on the porch and the woman had a pistol in her hand. She pointed it at Voyle Varney, saying she wasn’t going to be belled and pulled the trigger; The gun didn’t fire and her hsuband got it away from her before she could try again. He in­ vited us in for some refresh­ ments but everyone’s spirits were dampened and we didn’t stay long.” People! That’s the story of the Assemblies of God.

Dean Hansen Commander, Post No. 222 Vermontville, Mich. To The Editor: The Eaton County Department of Social Ser­ vices formally supports the Eaton County Tran­ sportation Authority’s (EATRAN) millage request. The election, to be held August 10, would allow EATRAN to levy up to .2 mills to provide public transportation services to the residents of Eaton County. In our culture, mobility is essential to all people if they are to interact with their community and its services. Many elderly, handicapped, 616-948-8986 Ask for Ron Harriman, mgr. and low-income individuals require public tran­ sportation to overcome the private exile imposed by their personal situation. Individuals who cannot drive or afford a personal auto, still must travel to medical providers, places of em­ ployment and retail establishments. If the millage is not passed and EATRAN service is discontinued or curtailed, the quality of life of many people will be severely af­ fected. The cost of continuing the EATRAN system is estimated to be $5 per household, (based on $50,000 market value) or .48 cents per Eaton County resident per year. This cost is lowered even more with the income tax deduction for property taxes. Enhancing literally thousands of peoples lives could not be less costly. Please cast your ballot in the August 10, 1982 primary election and please vote “yes” for EATRAN. Jeralyn Lowe, Acting Director Eaton Co.

After totaling all the bills, church trustees had determined that the cost of the project was $1,379. Only $1,179 had been raised prior to the dedication service. Mobile Home Insurance?

Dedication of the audience room was a big step forward for the fledgling congregation whose roots had been established a few years earlier in the Barryvilie district, west of Nashville. Methodist Protestant meetings of the Section Hill Assyria Circuit were first held at various rural schoolhouses, including Eagle,* Austin, Mudge and Checkered. “In 1877 it was decided that Assyria Circuit he divided and the north part called the Barryvilie Mission,” wrote Mrs. DeVine. According to her account Rev. Jennings became the first pastor at Barryvilie. On July 9,1878, the congregation met at the Mudge scholhouse to adopt articles of association and elect a board of trustees. Members present at that charter meeting were S.J. Babcock, George Norton, Charles Hyde, Clement Higdon, Miner Mead, Daniel Howell, John Delong, Mary Jennings, Frances Babcock, and Mary Richard. Chosen as trustees were Norton, Mead, Higdon, Hyde, and S.J. Babcock. At the time of this organizational meeting, James Riley was serving the congregation as pastor. Building a house of wor­ ship became the first order ofbusiness for the Barryvilie parishioners.

Babcock was authorized to procure a site, which he secured of Barber Mead for $100,” wrote Mrs. DeVine. Some two weeks later, the trustees met and decided on a plan for the proposed church building. “Funds were given by in Nashville, people Hastings, Maple Grove, East Castleton and north from Barryvilie and everyone near,” note Mrs. DeVine. “Some hard-working people gave their bit and all helped.” Among those named in Mrs. DeVine’s account as giving “much work and money also” were S. J. Babcock, George Norton, Clement Higdon, John Delong, Henry Lathrop, Daniel Deller, Sr., Charles Hyde, and N.V. Whitlock*. The basement of the present-day church at Barryvilie became the first formal quarters to serve the congregation. The basement was dedicated in February 1880 and church services and Sunday School sessions were held there until the upper level of the church was completed in August 1882. At the audience room dedication in 1882, at which the parishioners readily offered more than the $200 needed to clear up outstanding debts on the red brick sanctuary, Charles Hyde, chairman of the board of trustees,, “in a feeling manner thanked the people for their help,” note Mrs. DeVine. Father Mills, who was pastor at that time, offered prayers at the dedication; Father Seaman gave the benediction. In the afternoon the congregation listened to a discourse by Rev. Stock­ well and held class meeting. An evening service con­ cluded the eventful day. At the time Mrs. DeVine prepared her history on the Barryvilie Church in 1932, she wrote: “We have had some gracious revivals and six boys from our church and Sunday School have gone out to preach; Ivan Warren, Lloyd Mead, Allen Delong, Arch Soules, Jacob Foreman, and John Day.” “We have a fine Sunday School with Will Hyde as superintendent, who has held the position for several years. Think we will keep him for life.” Mrs. DeVine noted that the church had a Christian Endeavor Society of fine young people; a Junior Society;. Women’s Foreign Missionary Soceity; a Ladies’ Aid Society; and a Women’s Christian Tem­ perance Union. “We feel that our church and societies are working for the Master and that our church stands for righteousness and love to The Ladies’ Aid was one of several service societies connected with the early Barryvilie Church.

The Methodist Protestant Church at Barryvilie (now Peace United Methodist) Was built a century ago at the cost of $1,379 on land acquired for $100. For 18 months the fledgling congregation, officially formed in 1878, conducted worship services in the basement of the church before the red brick sanctuary was completed and dedicated in August 1882. A glimpse of adjoining Barryvilie Cemetery can be seen at right rear in photo. In the early 1860s Barryvilie was a thriving community with post office, grist mill and other commerce until surpassed by the new village of Nashville, whose growth was spurred by the arrival of the railroad in 1969. God and man,” concluded Mrs. DeVine. Recently, that early ac­ count of the Barryvilie Church history has been updated with a report written by Mrs. . Agnes Pufpaff and covering the past 50 years of the congregation. Many changes have occured. In 1939; the Methodist Protestants (Barryvilie) and the Methodist Epsicopals (who were in Nashville) merged, and the Barryvilie church was put on charge with Nashville. Thirty years later, an even greater change took place. In 1969, the national merging of Methodists with the Evangelical United Brethern brought about the union of the local churches. “We were put on Nashville circuit which was made up of Barryvilie, North Maple Grove, and South Maple Grove,” notes Mrs. Pufpaff. In 1971, the Barryvilie and North Maple Grove churches consolidated to form the present day Peace United Methodist Church at Barryvilie. The vacated' Maple Graove sanctuary, which had been built and dedicated in 1880, served for a time in the 1970s as a youth center before being sold for private use. > (Originally, the North Maple Grove Church, known as Emmanuel, was organized in 1878 by pioneer ministers from Ionia.

Vol. Ill -No. 6— Tuesday, August 3. 1982 Annual 'Sunshine Party' draws many ladies to Vermontville The Charlotte Senior Citizens Kitchen Band was the entertainment for the annual event. by Susan Hinckley It was a time for visiting and reminiscing for the ladies 75 years and older who are invited to the annual event sponsored by women of the United Methodist and First Congregational churches. Other "oldest" ladies receiving flowers at Friday's Sunshine Party were from left, Irene Hadden, 88; Esther Satterlee, 88; Iva Amspacher, 87; and Leone Cotton, 87. When the first Sunshine Party for elderly women of the Vermontville community was held on July 27, 1938, the oldest lady present was Julia Hammond, age 92. There were 65 ladies at that first event, staged in the academy (chapel) building which now serves the village as a museum. Friday, another chapter was added to the 44-year-old annual tradition when the 1982 Sunshine Party was hosted at Vermontville’s United Methodist Church. Approximately 60 were present at the gathering. “Oldest” honors went to Mrs. Ethel Figg, who will mark her 89th birthday this month. Vying for honors with Mrs. Figg were Esther Satterlee and Irene Hadden, both 88. Runners-up were 87year-olds, Iva Amspacher and Leone Cotton. All received floral bouquets from organizers of the event: ladies of the United Methodist and First Congregation churches. The two groups alternately host the yearly event. Conf, on page 3 A violin and accordion duet by Irene Waggner, left, and Bertha Reist was enjoyed by the ladies attending the event at Vermontville's United Methodist Church. Mrs. Ethel Figg was the oldest lady present at Friday's event, since she will celebrate her 89th birthday in August. Presenting her with a bouquet in honor of that status is Liz King, one of the committee members. �The Maple Valley News, Nashville, Tuesday, August 3, 1982 — Page 2 Nashville New^ Ron Ohler, 20, son of Mr. and Mrs. Ted Ohler, owners of Maple Valley Concrete Products in Nashville, is in the Burn Center at Blodgett Hospital, Grand Rapids, with critical injuries following a power line acdent last Tuesday. Ron, who is employed at the local plant, was delivering a load of concrete blocks on Valentine Road when the truck boom used to unload the blocks came in contact with overhead electrical wires. Ron was knocked to the ground by the charge but got up immediately. He was taken first to Pennock Hospital in Hastings, then transferred to Blodgett where it was determined he had suffered internal and external burns over fifty percent of his body. Assessment of the extent of internal injuries is still being made at this time. Severest external burns are on his right hand, arm, stomach and leg. At this writing, it is believed that Ron may face the loss of one finger. He expects to be confined to to the Burn Center for perhaps 90 days. The prayers of the community are with this fine young man for a very speedy recovery. Cards and letters would brighten his days. The address at Blodgett is 1840 Wealthy S.E., Grand Rapids, 49506. The Ohlers, who live at Fine Lake near Battle Creek, bought the former Pennock Concrete Products company about three years ago and have been in business here since rejuvenating the plant. The Ohler family also in­ cludes an older daughter, Mona. Mrs. Leslie (Mabie) Adams of Barryville Road is home now after a recent 9­ day confinement at Com­ munity Hospital in Battle Creek. She is making a good recovery but still is under the care of the specialists. Don and Jeanette Joseph, owners of Carl’s Super­ market in Nashville, have expanded their operation with the opening Monday, August 2 of a new store on M­ 43 near Sunfield. The new facility will employ 17 persons. The Joseph’s son David will be manager, assisted by his brother, John, of Nashville. In size, the new market, which cost a half-million dollars to build, contains 14,800 square feet of floorspace, making it ap­ proximately 3,000 sq. ft. smaller than the Nashville store. The construction is of brick-faced concrete block. A paved parking lot surrounds the front and side of the store, situated on the north side of the highway. Within the near future, the David Joseph family, now of Potterville, expect to move to the Sunfield area. After living 24 years on Francis Street in Nashville, Earl and Mildred (Leedy) Hose have sold their home and moved Saturday to a new residence at Traverse City, where the address is 2664 Chandler Road. Mildred was born and raised in Nash- Have you ever considered that it is not always easy: to apologize; to-begin over again; to be unselfish; to take advice; to admit error; ,to be charitable; to avoid mistakes; to think and then act; to keep out of a rut; to make the best of little; to shoulder a de­ served blame; to forgive and forget. To strive through a lifetime for such perfection brings its own rewards.

(Maple Valley News photo by Susan Hinckley) Poll indicates Ernie Nash in lead In recent poll of Republican voters in Eaton County indicates that State Representative Ernie Nash (R-Dimondale) has a commanding lead in the race, for the newly-formed 56th State House seat. The survey, conducted by Campaign Research 82, found that 51 percent of the 150 voters questioned sup­ ported Nash. Approximately 37 percent of the voters were undecided and another 13 percent supported Nash’s opponent. “The poll reinforces what I’ve been hearing on the campaign trail,” said Nash. “The results are very pleasing, but I’m going to continue to campaign as enthusiastically as ever. I want the people of Eaton County to understand my commitment to represent their interests in Lansing.” Nash has served in the Legislature since 1974. He is currently a member of the House Committee on Con- sumers, Judiciary, State Affairs, and he is vicechairman of the Public Safety Committee. VILLAGE OF Nashville Residents During the week of August 2nd we will begin seal coating several existing gravel streets within the village. The initial construction procedure will be to apply a liquid asphalt prime coat to the existing gravel surface. This material will remain wet for a period of about 24 hours after application. Please do not drive on the roads during this drying period because the asphalt will splash onto your vehicle and is very difficult to remove. Since, neither the village nor Rieth-Riley can be responsible for damage to your vehicle, we urge you to stay off the roadways during the initial drying period. We thank you for your cooperation during this inconvenience, and hope you will enjoy the road improvements. Very truly yours, A. JOHNBECSEY Rieth-Riley Construction Co., Inc.

August 7. In a career that has covered more than two decades, the country music singer has written more than 400 songs and has won one gold record, two Grammy Awards, and two Country Music Association Awards to go with seven nominations. Reed has also been featured in several motion pictures, most notably "Smokey and the Bandit" with Burt Reynolds. The Free Fair runs through August 8. by Steve Reid Johnny Paycheck gave all of his fans who came to Sandyland Sunday, July 25, all that they expected and a little more. The little more showed the well-known singer to be making a full circle in his career. An “outlaw” in country music, many of Paycheck’s thirty-three hits over the last eleven years have talked about a rebellious, heavy drinking attitude typified by such songs as, “Take This Job and Shove It” and “I’m the Only Hell My Momma Ever Raised.” Johnny sang all of these songs but balanced them with songs of advice from one who has been there. He sang about “Stay Away from the Cocaine Trian” in which he stated that the popular drug robs the body, mind and pride. Paycheck also gave the other side to such songs as his “I Never Met a Girl I didn’t Like” by singing songs about the heartache of divorce and raising children alone. “I Did the Right Thing” talked about the hard decision of finally returning to a wife and family. A larger group of young adults were present to hear Paycheck than normally attend a Sandyland concert. Also well received Sunday were regulars Don Lincoln and Country Fever. Making a hit with the audience was George Jones sounding Jerry Sadler from Lansing. Coming next month to Sandyland on August 8, will be George “If You’re Looking for a Stranger” Strait and Linda Lee with the Sunshine Band. Eaton County youth in Japan An Eaton County youth is among 27 Michigan 4-H’ers and adults who flew to Japan July 22 for a four-week crosscultural exchange. The youths are participating in the second phase of the working amencans “I always thought working americans pay our taxes, support our Institutions, and keep America strong.” Yet, average working Americans are over taxed and sel­ dom appreciated. And Dale Sprik knows that when high interest rates cause business failures and throw Ameri­ cans out of work, it is working Americans who suffer most. We need ... Japanese LABO-Michigan 4­ H exchange. The 4-H’ers will live, play and work with their Japanese families. American exchange students will be treated as members of the families. During their stay, they will have the opportunity to tour Japan with their hosts, visiting cities and the countryside. The youths will also attend a four-day summer camp during their stay. Visiting Japan from Eaton County is Connie Krebs, from Charlotte. “The exchange involves young people, ages 12 to 18, in a true cross-cultural experience. 4-H’ers learn to know and appreciate other people and cultures by participating in the normal day-to-day activities of the host families,” says Nancy Thelen, Eaton County 4-H Youth Agent. The exchange is jointly coordinated by the Michigan State University Cooperative Extension Service 4-H Youth Program and the LABO Exchange Foundation of Japan. The program was instituted in Michigan in 1974. For more information about the LABO program, contact Thelen at the Eaton County Extension Office, or call 543-2310 or 645-2351.

Growers may want to check on drying costs and dockage for sprouted wheat to decide whether to harvest with more than 14 percent moisture or risk having wheat sprout in the field. Another advantage with higher moisture level at harvest is less shatter losses. The idea of swathing the wheat to let the weeds dry down before harvest has come up this year. Swathing and then combining with a “Pick-up” head certainly is an alternative in weedy wheat fields. The crop should be cut at 15-18 percent moisture to reduce shatter loses.

The Central Regional office of St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital announced today that Ms. Elsie Wolever has agreed to the chairmanship of the St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital Bike-AThon in Nashville. The funds raised in this years event will go to support the hospitals programs of research, patient care, and education. St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital was founded by entertainer Danny Thomas. The in­ stitutions opened its doors to the public in 1962 to combat catastrophic diseases which affect our children. St. Jude’s is non-sectarian, nondiscriminatory and provides total medical care to over 4,200 patients. At St. Judes, 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 in­ formation gained at St. Jude’s are shared freely with doctors and hospitals the world over. St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital treats 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-Thon this fall will assure the continuation of life giving work at the hospital. The concern which Ms. Wolever has for the work being performed at St. Jude is greatly appreciated, and the children hope that the citizens of Nashville will support the upcoming BikeA-Thon whole-heartedly. Plan to survey corn rootworms by Allen Krizek, County Ext. Director Anytime you follow corn with corn, you could be setting yourself up as a target for corn rootworms. In the past, you had two choices, treat the field with insecticide just in case, or gamble that corn rootworm won’t be a serious problem. Either way you could lose big. Treating a field that didn’t need it requires insecticideat an average cost of $10 per acre-plus the time and energy needed to apply it. Failure to treat a field that gets hit hard by rootworms could cut yields by 15 to 20 bushels an acres, give or take a few. Now, however, there’s a way to predict the likelihood of corn rootworm problems a year in advance. All you have to do is count adult corn rootworms in midsummer and use the number seen as an index of what to expect if you plant the field to corn Save-Save-Save on your next gas or fuel delivery...

What you’re looking for is a hard backed, active beetle with long antennae (feelers). The northern variety is plain yellor or green. The western corn rootworm is yellow or red with three black stripes down the wing covers. County Extension Director, Allen Krizek, advises checking 60 plants in each of three areas of the field. Count all the corn rootworm adults you can see without stripping back leaves and husks. If you see about one adult per plant, the population will probably be high enough next year to cause problems. If you see fewer than one per plant, you can expect little or no damage. The key to making this survey work is timing. The best time to count corn rootworm adults is 25 to 35 days after the first adult is seen in the field. In Eaton Continued on page 15 1. Terms are cash in advance or upon delivery 2.

The previous rotation period allowed only 30 days before harvest. According to Secretary of Agriculture John R. Block, it is routine for farmers to remove old-crop reserve grain from storage and replace it with the new crop in order to maintain the quality of grain under loan. Block said in many parts of the country, the 1981 crops of corn and grain sorghum were harvested during abnormally wet weather and stored at a higher moisture level than usual. In addition, excessive rains and high humidity and temperatures in many major grain­ producing areas this year have led to a greater-thanusual possibility of stored grain going out of condition, he said. Block said his decision to extend the rotation period was a one-time change made to cope with special weather conditions and would apply only to the replacement of 1982 crops for prior year’s crops. Wheat or barley were not included in this decision because those commodities have not had deterioration problems. Producers wishing to take advantage of the extended rotation period should contact their county Agriculturall Stabilization and Conservation Service office prior to removing their crops from storage.

August 3. 1982— Page 15 Family reunites after thirty-three years— This has been an exciting year for Pat Rathburn of I Vermontville! Back in 1949, she was given up for adop­ tion in Toledo, Ohio along with a younger brother and sister (who she didn’t even remember!) Last year in April, an aunt called from Toledo with the information that she wasn’t an only child after all and to tell her where the younger sister lived. The brother hadn’t been located as yet. Pat and her sister communicated for about two months and slowly got re­ acquainted over the phone Cont. from page 13 Alabama appearing in Ionia Advance ticket sales indicate that Alabama, winners of the Country Music Association's "Entertainer of the Year Award'', will likely pack the track and grandstand when the popular group appears in shows at 6:30 and 9 p.m., August 5. Other honors for the group include a "Group of the Year" designation by the 1980 Academy of Country Music, Billboard Magazine's 1980 "New Group of the Year" and 1982 Grammy nominations. The Ionia Free Fair is expected to draw about 500,000 during its July 30August 8 run. County, the survey should be made between August 7 and August 17. It takes about an hour to check a field. If that hour saves you from unnecessaryilty treating an 80acre field, you make, in effect, more than $800 for your trouble. If it reveals the need to treat and treating the field saves you from a 20bushel-an-acre yield loss, the potential return on your time is even higher. Pat Rathburn (right) of Vermontville reunited with her sister Mary Lou and brother. and through letters. Then in June, 1981, the same aunt placed an ad in the Toledo paper looking for Don. He saw it and answered it and found out where his sisters were living and called them both. Over the weekend (July 23, 24,25) the three siblings met in Corbin, Kentucky for their first reunion in 33 years. Don Hauter, wife Joyce and their children, Kelly (17) and Scott (16) came from Walbridge, Ohio; Mary Lou Drury, her husband Dewitt and their children, Darin (13) and David (11) came up from Jesup, Georgia; and Pat, her husband Larry and their children, Craig (17) and Robin (15) from Ver­ montville - all had a mar­ velous time. * RE-ELECT ★ EDGAR FLEETHAM Eaton County Commissioner District 1 Sunfield • Roxand • Vermontville Townships by knowledge of County government and years of experience and contribution. • Motivated by dedication to the cause of good government. • Sensitive to the needs and concerns of constituents. • Responsive and Responsible. • Successful in own business — life-time farmer. • Never fears to vote his convictions. • Always tries to think through the issues. • Always available to all his constituents. • Known as a statesman, not a politician. • Qualified i iw it ik ItnnjlMii iiitiiiiite IM *k jiacii® lElkM’ S« , •• -ja jaitiiri! -HH* VOTE AUGUST 10th...Republican Primary Paid for by the committee to re-elect Edgar Fleetham 13289 Dow Rd., Sunfield, Michigan 48890 g in*>'• SIS* * k Auto Service CENTER rt» H !»i* QUALITY WORKMANSHIP TRANSMISSION REPAIRS BODY & BUMP SERVICE WHEEL ALIGNMENT & BALANCING • TUNE-UPS & MUFFLERS • MAJOR OVERHAULS • BRAKES Shotshell rebate limited to 5 boxes per household K mart • Sale Price Less Factory Rebate SMALL GAME LOADS DUCK/PHEASANT LOADS 20 gauge 12,16 gauge 20 gauge 4.47 4.67 5.47 5.97 - 1.00 - 1.00 - 1.00 1.00 3.47 3.674.47 4.97 Remington* Dove/Quail Or Rabbit/Squirrel LoadLow brass shells available in 12,16 and 20 gauge; 6, 7Vz and 8 shot.

About 40 parents attended the special meeting, called for an open general discussion of the Fuller Street kindergarten classroom taught by Pam Hunt. The audience included about 10 concerned parents and 30 teachers. Some of the parents present had children in her kindergarten classroom during the past school year, and other parents attending will have kindergarten students in the school this fall. Discussion included general comments of complaint that were made by some parents about the operation of the classroom with concern expressed for what they called a lack of communication with parents. Other parents in the audience, along with the teachers, expressed support for Mrs. Hunt. Also mentioned were six letters of support for Mrs. Hunt-and a telephone call in support of her from school social worker Ruth Rypstra. One letter of complaint also was read at the meeting. Building principal Howard Yost commented on a prior meeting held with some parents at Fuller Street school along with meetings with individual parents. Yost said he supported Mrs. Hunt and recommended that she continue as a full time kindergarten teacher. After a discussion which lasted approximately 75 minutes, the board voted in favor of a motion to close the discussion and give a show of support to Mrs. Hunt. In other business, a letter of resignation, effective August 13, was accepted from Margaret Foote as secretary-bookkeeper at the junior-senior high school. Superintendent Carroll Wolff read a letter from the band boosters regarding payment for supplies and equipment repair during the 1981-82 school year and a general proposal for the coming school year. No action was taken regarding the letter, and the matter will be acted upon at the board's regular meeting. Charlton Park hosting annual 'Antique Auto Show and Swap meet' Sunday August 9. A resolution was approved to hold the truth-in-taxation hearing at 7 p.m. Tuesday. August 17 in the ad­ ministration building. A proposal will be presented to have a tentative levy of 25.01 mills for operational pur­ poses. This is the same amount of millage levied during the past school year. This does result in an in­ crease in local dollars received for general operational purposes, but this is offset by a state reduction in their con­ tribution to the local school support. This loss from the stale results from the present state aid act which is based upon the concept of state-local sharing with the local share increasing as state equalized valuations increase. Business break-ins reported in Nashville last week Two breaking and en­ terings of business places on Nashville's Main Street occured sometime Monday night or early Tuesday morning of last week. At Bob Jr.’s Ice Cream Parlor at 109 N. Main, a cash register and the money in it were taken sometime beteeen 10:30 p.m. Monday and 7:30 a.m. Tuesday when the theft was discovered by employee Mary Porter. According to the Barry County Sheriff’s Depart­ ment, entry was gained through the front door when jalousie-style windows were pryed-up and the screen cut. The cash register has been recovered, said a depart­ ment spokesperson The amount of missing cash was not disclosed. The sheriff’s department believes the same culprit may have been responsible for a breaking and entering al ABC Dairy Delite al 101 N. Main. No money was ob­ tained there, but merchandise was disturbed. Apparently occuring the same night was an a Itempt to pry open the night depository of SNB Bank and Trust at 203 N. Main. The damage was discovered Tuesday morning by bank employees who notified Nashville Police. Nothing was taken at the bank as entry was not gained to the depository which has been repaired. Join the "Battle of the Years" and help support your local sports program The romantic and adventurous era of the "Tin Lissie” will be recalled Sunday, August 15, when some 250 vintage autos parade into Charlton Park for the thirteenth annual Antique Auto Show and Swap Meet. The romantic and ad­ venturous era of the “Tin Lissie" will be recalled Sunday, August 15, when some 250 vintage autos parade into Charlton Park for the thirteenth annual Antique Auto Show and Swap Meet. Adding to the nostalgia at the 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. event will be the park setting, featuring an authentic reconstructed Michigan village of the late 1800s. Many of the historic cars to be displayed belong to members of the Battle Creek Chapter of the Veteran Motor Car Club of America, co-sponsors of the show. Robert Judd of Olivet, vice president of the group and chairperson of the auto show, said several other area car clubs are expected to participate in the exhibition. Judd, who spent over two years restoring a 1913 Model T Ford touring car, said that autos dating from 1908 to 1957 are scheduled to be shown. Each car will be displayed with the year, make and owner’s name. In jnost cases, the owners will be on hand to answer questions about restoration of their individual vehicles. “It takes a lot of patience and a lot of time to restore an auto,” observed Judd. “And, nowadays, it also takes a lot of money." The search for authentic auto parts often lead to cross-country telephone calls and can be the most time-consuming aspect of a restoration project, he ex­ plained. At Sunday’s show, vendors will offer a wide variety of old car parts for swap or sale. About 200 sellers, in­ cluding flea market mer­ chants, are expected to set up shop. Admission to the Antique Auto Show is $2 for adults age 12 and older; 50 cents for children under 12; and no charge for pre­ schoolers. Charlton Park and Village is located just off M-79 between Hastings and Nash­ ville, on the site of old huntng and fishing grounds bor­ dering Thornapple River and Lake. A late nineteenth century rural village has been reconstructed in the park. Besides the museum, which features permanent exhibits explaining pioneer and In­ dian life in the Great Lake Region, and the machine shop, containing a vast array ofagricultural and industrial machinery, the village in­ cludes the Bristol Inn. an 1850s stagecoach stop on the Good Intent Line; an 1885 church; the 1869 Lee School; a carpenter-cooper shop; blacksmith shop; hardware store; general store; bank and office building; newspaper office; township hall, and two early homes now undergoing restoration. Charlton Park's recreation area also includes a beach and boat launch, playgrounds, picnic facilities and shelter. The recreation area is open daily' from 8 a.m. till dusk. The museum and village are open daily 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. through September. An August 28 Fund Day will help finance the Maple Valley athletic program and provide some fun com­ petition for participants and spectators. The event, to be held at the athletic field in Nashville,’ will include competition for a “battle of the years” on an obstacle course, with low hurdles, a relay race, 100 yard dash, balance pole over water, bicycle race, wheelbarrow race, bucket brigade, football pass and block, baseball hitting, tugof-war, egg toss, and water fight. Teams will be formed according to birth dates and participants do not have to be graduates of Maple Valley High School. Each team will consist of about 50 players, both men and women. The battle of the years will mean that two teams will be formed, pitting those born in odd-numbered years against those in even-numbered years. Team .captains will determine which member will participate in. a par­ ticular event. Each event will be scored on points which will be issued for first, second, and thrid places. Penalty points will also be issued for violations of rules. The team with the most points scored at the com­ pletion of all events will be declared the winning team. Anyone who would like to participate may call Tom Joostberns at 726-0537. Registration forms also are available at several different businesses in Nashville and Vermontville. Registrations must be in by August 21. The winning team will be issued a team plaque with, each team member’s name on it. The plaque will be placed in the school showcase. Proceeds will go to help finance the school’s athletic program. Primary Election Today! Don't forget to . VOTE... it's your right and your duty!" �The Maple Valley News Nashville, Tuesday. August 10. 1982 - Page2 Nashville News The “fatted calf” (not in the traditional sense of the word) will play a part in Nashville’s upcoming Harvest Festival. Plans for the September 17-18 event began to lake sh pe last week after a meeting of the Maple Valley (Riverside) Recreational Development Corp., recent sponsors of the annual doings. In addition to providing a fun time for the community, the festival has served as a fund raiser for the MVRDC in their project to develop ball diamonds, picnic areas and other recreational facilities along the banks of the Thomapple River west of Nashville’s business district. Adding a touch of humor to the 1982 celebration will be selection of a king and reign with the 1982 Harvest Queen. While the latter will be selected with penny votes cast along L.a traditional lines of beauty and charm, the royal male will not be, chosen by appearance of his face - but of his legs. While the vote canisters of queen candidates will -bear photos of their faces, the collection cans for her male coun­ terpart will picture the royal aspirant’s legs. Votes for the Harvest King will be cast on the beauty (or ugliness) of their legs alone. The royal race is just one of many fun events planned for the 1982 Harvest Festival. Again, the Harvest Run which has attracted hundreds of runners from the state and area will be a great attention-getter.it win be sponsored this year by the Maple Valley Jaycees. Also set is a repeat of the suc­ cessful tractor pull held in the past. A co-ed softball tourney on the new MVRDC diamonds is being organized by Dick Chaffee and Dennis Lamie. A talent show on Friday night and gospel sing on Saturday will be staged on Maple Street, and the local ambulance squad plans to conduct a Saturday fund­ raising auction from the same open-air stage. The Maple Valley Band Boosters, who do such a terrific job of making arid serving pancakes at Ver­ montville’s annual Syrup Festival, will set up shop in the Nashville Fire Barn. On Saturday evening, the fire station will be given over to the traditional Harvest Ball. Other activities on the festival agenda include an arts and crafts show in Central Park, complete with blacksmithing demonstrations; a flea market; an auto smash sponsored by the Little League; and the traditional Harvest Produce contest, with entries in various categories. Grower of the largest pumpkin will have his or her name in­ scribed on . the perpetual festival plaque listing the yearly winners. The MVRDC is seeking a sponsor for the ox roast, which has been a popular annual festival event in Central Park.

One cannot enter a griefstricken home/ without a yeal sense of sympathy, no matter what the circumstances may be. We believe, though, that the funeral director can best express his sympathy by going about his work quietly and calmly. Confusion only adds to the strain.

A big “hello” to all her Nashville friends came from Katariina Lahdesmaki of Finland in a Sunday phone conversation with the Joe Andrews family, with whom she resided the past year as an exchange student under the Youth for Understanding program. Katariina returned to her homeland in July. A graduate with the MVHS Class of 1982, she now is set to re-enter her own high school with a level of studies comparable to qut junior colleges. Katariina has resumed playing in the community folk orchestra in her hometown in the Ilmajoki district of Finland, and is continuing her piano lessons. She also plays violin and accordian. Other news from Katariina is that she has started driver’s education, which is a more extensive training program than'in America, since the Finnish students must also learn to navigate trucks.

Today’s column looks at this week in Nashville history.' The following excerpts are gleaned from the Nashville Ancient History column published in the Nashville News from near the turn of the century into the 1930s; from the Turning Back the Pages feature of the 1940­ 60s; and from various early issues of the News.) 1674... Workmen are now engaged in building three brick stores, four dwellings and one frame store in the village. IN7 The drought con­ tinues. Some of the farmers living two or three miles north are drawing their water for household use from the village. 1876.. . When the local barbering firm of Purchis & Hinman was dissolved recently, Mr. Hinman went to Saranac and opened a shop. It is reported that he had a pretty tough time of it unljl last week, when his competition was killed by lightning, giving Hinman a clean sweep of the field. 1877.. . The Council Monday evening spent an hour listening to complaints from farmers near town, con­ cerning what they term the common practice of taking undesirable characters outside the village, and dumping them. As a rule, claimed the farmer delegation, the distance from town depends on the undesirability of the character, and thus the Nashville News of early August 1878 announced the opening of the new Wolcott House, a hotel built on the west side of South Main near the Church Street intersection. In addition to dining and parlor facilities and 27 sleeping rooms outfitted with Lentz-made furniture, the new hostelry boasted one of the first indoor w plumbing systems in the village. CARD OF THANKS The family of Elsie M. Offley wish to thank all those and especially Dr. Jack Brown, who so lovingly cared for her at Pennock Hospital. Also our neighbors, friends, relatives, and Vogt Funeral Home for their kind and thoughtful consideration. John and Rose Armbruster June Piddington Grandchildren and Great-grandchildren NOTICE OF A PUBLIC HEARING ON INCREASING PROPERTY TAXES PLEASE TAKE NOTICE that on August 17,1982 at 7:00 o’clock p.m. at the school administration building the Board of Education of Maple Valley Schools will hold a public hearing on the levying in 1982 of an additional proposed millage rate of 1.8132 mills for operating purposes pursuant to Act 5, Public Acts of Mich­ igan, 1982. The Board of Education has the complete authority to establish that 25.01 mills be levied in 1982 from within its present author­ ized millage rate. The maximum additional proposed millage rate would increase revenues for operating purposes from ad valorem property tax levies in 1982 otherwise permitted by Act 5, Public Acts of Michigan, 1982 by Seven and three-tenths percent (7.3%). The Board of Education levied 25.01 mills this past school* year for operation of the school district. The State Aid Membership Act is written in such a way that when the local state equalized value increases and the taxpayer pays more in taxes the state reduces the amount of revenue that they pay to the local school district. This results in the local community member paying a greater proportion of the financial support of the schools and the state reducing their contribution to the local school support. In addition, due to the state economy state support is being eroded even further as state reductions in state aid are implemented. • The purpose of the hearing is to receive testimony and discuss the levy of an additional millage rate. Not less than seven (7) days following the public hearing, the Board of Education may approve all or any portion of the proposed additional millage rate. This notice is given by order of the Board of Education. Dale Ossenheimer, Jr., Secretary Maple Valley Schools Board of Education farther a farmer lives from town, the more of the Objectional tramps are dumped near his place. The Council admonished Marshal Webster to take his un­ desirables to the county jail in the. future, if village authorities insist on getting rid of them. 1878.. . The new Wolcott House is expected to open next week. 1879.. . First lightfrost of the season was reported in sections of Maple Grove Township Monday morning but no damage done. Many are down with the ague, which seems to go with a cold, wet summer. 1880.. . The business en­ terprise of Nashville is steadily increasing, and the numbering of houses and places of business will soon be a positive necessity. 1881.. . The old bridge across the mill pond has been condemned by the authorities and anyone crossing it does so at his own risk. The river can be forded below Holler’s old mill, without any difficulty, and people with loaded wagons should ford the river and not run the risk of the old bridge falling. 1882.. . A self-propelling threshing machine,, the property of Stephen Springett of North Castleton,, steamed along Main Street Wednesday. 1883.. . At four o’clock Saturday afternoon, 124 teams were hitched on Main Continued on next page— Nashville's sensational village ball team was in the news in August 1906 when they beat the famed Petosky club. This undated photo is of that era. August of 1881 brought news of the official condem­ nation of this crude wooden bridge across the Thornapple mill pond. During repairs to the Span, travelers were obliged to ford the river near Holler's old mill at the south end of presgnt-day Bridge Street (seen in photo). In Sept, construction started on a new bridge upstream from this first early span w hich roughly paralleled the dam. Holler's new mill on the east side of the river opened the same year.

NofchvtHe Tuevdoy August 10. 1982 — Poge 8 Saturday crafts keep kids busy in Vermontville Under the shade of trees next to the Vermontville Academy-Museum, children forgot about the hot humid weather and enjoyed lear­ ning crafts of tin punching and stencil painting. The event, held free-ofcharge and sponsored by the Vermontville Historical Society., was the second of three planned Saturday activities this summer. The children turned their tin punch work into decorations and made book­ marks in their stencil painting lessons. The class was taught by Rachel Hartenburg and Mrs. Paula Cole. Details of next Saturday’s craft class are featured elsewhere in this issue of the Maple Valley News. Concentrating on getting the nail in the right place for her punch work design is Dana Cole, 9. Next to her, five-year-old Brandy Wawiernia studies her project. Shady trees next to the Vermontville Museum provided a great place for Saturday's craft session, sponsored by the local historical society.

Planning, organizing, or participating in a meeting of more than 2 persons, excluding immediate family members, is a misdemeanor. In addition, ballots not mailed must be delivered by the voter, a relative, or a selected registered elector who has certified that he or she did not solicit or request the ballot. UNEMPLOYMENT BENEFIT EXTENSION The Reagan Administration has announced they will agree to an extension of the current 39 week maximum benefit period for the nation’s unemployed. Benefits now expire after 39 weeks, but the Congress, and other Reagan Administration, want to extend the period another 13 weeks. CHILD SUPPORT - New federal tax laws, designed to collect overdue child support payments from parents whose families are on Aid to Dependent Children, might net the state an additional $10 million, according to the Department of Social Services. The new laws allow the state to intercept federal tax refunds of people who have not paid past due child support payments to their families. A similar state income tax intercept- program has already taken in $3 million from taxpayers who are overdue in support payments. Only the overdue amount is subtracted from the refund, with the balance being returned to the taxpayer. DEPARTMENT OF RECREATION - A citizen’s group called the Michigan Recreation and Park Association is preparing to submit a proposal to the Michigan Legislature that would create a separate Department of Recreation, Tourism, Culture and Leisure Services. The proposal seeks to combine 14 different state agencies now in existence to create the new department. The Michigan Travel Bureau, which is part of the Department of Commerce is studying the proposal, as is the Department of Natural Resources. Both the Bureau and the DNR would be dramatically changed under the proposal. RAILROAD PURCHASED - The Michigan Department of Transportation has purchased 117 miles of the Escanaba and Lake Superior Railroad for $2.5’million. The DOT in­ tends to lease the tracks back to the Railroad, which will buy it back over a 20-year period. The Railroad, which is in the Upper Peninsula, was purchased' to save several U.P. in­ dustries which use the line. Michigan’s Upper Peninsula has one of the highest unemployed work forces in the nation.

The Athletic Boosters are an excellent group of people, but their numbers are few even though their spirits are high. I hope that more people, especially parents, will get involved and become a working member so that sports will stay at MVHS for many years to come,”- he said.

The keys to eating well at fast food restaurants are moderation and variety , says Mona Ellard, Eaton County Ext. Home Economist. Moderation means that fast foods are acceptable nutritionally when consumed occasionally as part of a ^vell- balanced diet. Patronizing various restaurants that offer dif­ ferent foods will contribute a wider range of nutrients. One nutrient amply provided in (most foods is protein. The usual fare at such restaurants is ham­ burgers or cheese burgers, chicken or fish-all supplying high quality protein. Milk is­ a beverage with a meal can further increase the protein contribution. An advantage of fast food meals is that, excluding drinks and desserts, they are" low in sugar. Most of the carbohydrates they do contain are in the form of complex starches, rather than simple sugars. . Unfortunately, fast foods fare poorly when it comes to calories, fat, sodium and fiber content.

Part-time jobs help students find careers Jack Shingleton, director of Placement Sendees at Michigan State University, has one message for high school students trying to decide on a career. _ Work. Shingleton says part-time work during high school or college, no matter what field it’s in, can be aft-invaluable experience. “Even if students do things they don’t like, that can help them make decisions later about a career,” says Shingleton, who runs one of the largest college placement offices in the country. “At that level, students can at least screen out things they don’t want to do. “I’ve had students tell me that one summer they had a labor job and that convinced them they wanted to go on to college so they wouldn’t have to do that for the rest of their lives. “Sometimes work ex­ perience can be a real tur- ning point for students. They make the decision to go on to college to open up new avenues of opportunities.” Shingleton, who is also responsible for on-campus part-time employment, for students, knows that jobs for students, particularly high school students, _ are often hard to find, but he says students shouldn’t ignore the opportunities to learn about work before they commit themselves to a career. Affluent students who don’t work before they graduate are often the disadvabtaged ones, he says, because they aren’t forced to find out about the world of work before they start their first full-time job. Some students know very early what they want to do when they graduate from college, and sometimes that can be a real advantage, says Shingleton.

It’s often too late to decide in college on a career in a technical field, says Shingleton, because a student has missed too many prerequisites. “Eve seen many a career wasted because a .student hadn’t taken the proper Continued from col. 2 United States. Employment and unemployment statistics based on results of this survey are used to provide a continuing measure of the economic health of the nation.’ For example, in June the survey indicted that of the 110.2 million men and women in the civilian labor force, 99.8 million were employed. The nation’s unemployment rate- .was 9.5 percent, the same as in May. Information supplied by individuals participating in the survey is kept strictly confidential by law and the results are used only to compile statistical totals. curriculum,” he says. For students still thinking, Shingleton offers these tips: — Recognize that a part­ time job can help you make a decision on a career. — Ifyou are interested in a particular field, make sure you’re taking the right prerequisites in high school. — Talk to people in the profession or visit them on the job. It can make a dif­ ference. . — Take a look at your hobbies and your outside interests and see how they can relate to a full-time career. — Make sure you get some work experience before you graduate, even if it’s not in your chosen field.

But the researchers say the increase in kindergarten enrollment is not as great an increase as at the national level. Researchers Frederick R. Ignatovich and Stanley E Hecker, who track enrollment trends in the state, say over the past five years the number of live births in the state are in­ creasing at a much slower pace than the number of births nationally. Nationally the number of live births hit a low of 3.13 million in 1973 and the numbers have increased steadily since 1975. In 1981, an estimated 3.6 million children were born in the United States. In Michigan the number of live births hit a low of 131,378 in 1976 and climbed to 145,563 in 1980, but dropped back down to 141, 579 in 1981. The researchers have found that the kindergarten enrollments in Michigan are also affected by the state's depressed economy, which has forced many young families with school age children to seek jobs out of state. In four of the past five Medical Society offers safetytips tocanoeists Michigan is rich with navigable streams and rivers affording canoeists splendid scenery and exhilirating exercise. To ensure that your canoe trip is both enjoyable and safe, the Michigan State Medical Society suggests you follow some basic safety guides. Many canoeing accidents are caused by unfamiliar water. Canoeists who do not take the time to familiarize themselves with the speed of the current and the various hazardous obstacles --such as dams and downed treeswhich may confront them, are courting danger. Chart your course beforehand to learn where obstructions are located. Paddlers should be aware of the water temperature and the effects cold water has on the body Water below 60 degrees is perilously cold and 40 degree water so numbs you that within moments you are unable to help yourself A commonsense rule to follow is to add the water and air temperatures together If their sum is less than 100 degrees, wear a wet suit. Capsizing or falling overboard are real dangers. Keep that in mind as a possibility and dress ac­ cordingly In cold water, no matter how clear headed you think you'll be. your energy will be sapped in moments. Life jackets should always be worn to keep your body above water in any cir- cumstances. Additional precautions include wearing protective helmets and, for those dependent on eyeglasses, safety straps. Though canoes may be outfitted with seats, always kneel in rough water. This concentrates the bulk of your weight in the bottom of the canoe, thus increasing the craft’s stability. Important too is the even distribution of the canoe load-paddlers and equipment. Other safety features to keep in mind: - Always travel in groups of at least three canoes. Keep the boat behind you in sight. -Awid snags (downedtrees, low branches, broken fences > and rocks. - Portage around dams, waterfalls, and rapids. - Be certain everyone in the canoe can swim fully clothed. - If capsized stay with the canoe, at the upstream end. - Never attempt to stand up in fast water unless it is too shallow for swimming. These guidelines may appear cumbersome, but the Michigan State Medical Society stresses that they are essential for proper, safe canoeing. They will add to your personal safety and to the safety of those around you years, for instance, fewer national trend. youngsters have registered The elementary for kindergarten in the state enrollment decline in the than were born five years state won't bottom out until before.

August 17, 1982 Charlton Park plans“Antique Firefighting Apparatus” show Fire engine buffs from various parts of the state will congregate Sunday, August 22 at Charlton Park’s first “Antique Firefighting Ap­ paratus Show and Muster’’. Visitors to the park will be able to view old-time fire engines and equipment displayed by members of the Greenfield Village In­ ternational Antique Fire Apparatus Association plus vintage engines along with their more modern coun­ terparts belonging to area fire departments. The event will be held from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. At noon, when opening ceremonies will be held, the fire rigs will parade around the park’s village green, encircled with authentic historical buildings that have been reconstructed as a Michigan village of the late 1800s. A constant stream of muster activities, featuring games of fun and skill, will be staged from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. The action will include a bucket brigade contest, competition with cen­ trifugal, rotary, and piston pumps in a race to see which can draw the first water, a water ball contest focusing on team skill using fire hoses, and an arena pumping event. “The arena pumping can be quite comical to watch,” says Lee Soderbeck of Jackson, secretary of the Greenfield Village sponsored group. In that contest of fiveman teams, she explains, each unit’s bunker coats and boots are thrown into a pile and each must scramble against the clock to find and put on his own attire, place a hard suction hose in the river, jump onto a fire truck, and pump water. The team with the best time is declared the winner. Mrs. Soderbeck said the antique fire apparatus association put on a show last month at Greenfield Village in Dearborn. The majority of the group’s members are in­ dividual collectors who are affiliated with the- National Society for the Preservation and Appreciation of Antique Motorized Fire Apparatus. Some of the interesting firefighting equipment expected to be on hand for the Charlton Park show are a restored Seagrave rig, an open cab Ahrens-Fox piston pumper of 1920s vintage, a 1914 Model T fire chief’s car, and an old REO fire engine. There will be an AmericanLaFrance fire vehicle, typical of what was once a common rural firefighting fixture, usually made from Ford or Chevy trucks which were converted into fire apparatus with the addition of pumps. The Vermontille Fire Department is expected to display its unique 1913 firefighter manufactured by Old-time fire engines like this one will congregate at Charlton Park's first the Waterous Engine Works Appiardtus Show & Muster" Sunday, August 22. in St. Paul, Minnesota.

Clara, with her husband Edgar Hannemann, came here in 1914 from Grand Rapids and bought the former Kocher dry goods store on Main Street. They operated the store until the 1930s.

This proposal is part of the tax producing bill now being considered in Washington. Savers and investors entitled to exemption from withholding will be burdened with enormous paperwork and red tape re­ quirements to establish their eligibility. For example, some­ one with many accounts at one institution will have to file for each account. In addition, individuals exempt from taxes who switch savings accounts will be required to file exemption certificates for each new account. The cost for financial in­ stitutions to act as IRS collection agents are estimated at $2.00 to $4.00 per account. We would have no choice but to pass these costs on to the customers. There are many ad­ ditional requirements that are very objectionable. We urge you to help us stop this unneeded legislation by writ­ ing to our law makers.

Tuesday, August 17, 1982 — Page 4 A glimpse of farm life in the 20's (Authors Note: From early July to late August, some 50 to 100 years ago, giant threshing rigs powered by mighty steam engines moved from farm to farm, harvesting crops in this area. After the grain was in the hulling of beans kept the engines puffing for several more months. This story of the seasonal harvest was originally published as a Memories of the Past on October 24,1979. Much of the materials was furnished by Howard E. Brumm, a Nash­ ville native who then lived at Charlevoix. Since the time the story first appeared he has passed away.) This steam engine is one used by the threshing crew of Charles Meade of Castle­ ton, for whom Howard E. Brumm worked in the 1920s. The engineer on the rig was assisted by a tank wagon man who, with a team, hauled water from nearby streams or ponds to keep the steam engine •in operation. (Photo loaned, courtesy Kenneth A. Meade) Harvest time in the early days of Castelton and surrounding townships was a season of arduous labor for local farmers. But the task was often enlightened by humor, leaving behind a gleaning of happy memories. Howard E. Brumm, a of Nashville native Charlevoix (now deceased) recalled in a 1979 letter, the harvest of the early 1920’s, when he worked as a member of a threshing crew operating in 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 a thirsty beast, especially in a dry summer when many roadside creeks and small ponds would dry up”, remembered 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 supply.” The balance of the threshing crew included the separator man, who kept his machine in good working 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 farmers for bedding his livestock. Threshing rigs and crews moved from farm to farm in Castleton and surrounding townships in the 1920s, leaving behind a gleaning of happy memories. At first, the grain separator (right) was powered by a steam engine. Later, gasoline fueled tractors (as in this photo) were used. The separator blew threshed NOTICE of PUBLIC HEARING on INCREASING PROPERTY TAXES The Vermontville Township of the Vermontville Township will hold a public hearing on a proposed increase of .0997 mills in the operating tax mil­ lage rate to be levied in 1982. The hearing will be held on WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 18, 1982 at 7:00 o'clock in the p.m. at Fire Barn Office. If adopted, the proposed additional millage will increase operating revenues from ad valorem property taxes 1.1350% over such revenues generated by levies permitted without holding a hearing. The taxing unit publishing this notice, and iden­ tified below, has complete authority to establish the number of mills to be levied from within its authorized millage rate. This notice is published by: Vermontville Township 125 W. First St., Vermontville, Ml. 726-1269 In addition to these five primary positions, the crew included several “bundle pitchers” who tossed the bundles of grain into the hungry maw of the separator, Brumm related. “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 wifes had built up a reputation over the years as a good place to be at meal time. Conversely, there wer e a few places where the crew worked hard to get away from before dinner time.” During the threshing operation, farmers supplied several extra hands to tote the filled grain bags to their storage place. Brumm, in his position as “bagger man” on the crew had an opportunity to witness an amusing incident which helped add levity to lighten the load of work. “One day when the rig was at the George Austin farm, just north of Nashville, a son­ in-law of the Austins, Claude Greenfield, came out to help carry grain from the rig to the granary,” Brumm recounted. “Claude was a town boy and, as such, was the butt of a good-natured prank pulled off by the other grain carriers who were country boys. “These country boys managed to put a 50-pound rock into the first bag of grain that Claude was to tote. They put a bushel of wheat into the bag, and with the rock it nearly doubled the weight of the load. Claude had watched the others grab a bag and nonchalantly swing it over a shoulder and Continued on next page__ straw into stack behind barn.

So, when his turn came, he did the same. Or rather, he started to butcouldn’t get the bag off the ground. “Meantime, another bag was ready and one of the country boys again swung it over his shoulder with seeming little effort. Again Claude resolutely grabbed his bag and tried to shoulder it, but with no better success than his first effort. “By this time, Claude began to sense the prank and midst the merriment of the onlookers, dug into the bag of grain to discover the rock.” Brumm also recalled a late fall threshing episode which was not viewed by so many onlookers, but left a lasting impression. “Following the summer threshing season involving Mace Pharmacy 207 N. MAIN NASHVILLE 852-0845 The Maple Valley News. Nashville. Tuesday, August 17. 1982 —Page 5 wheat, oats and other grains would finish rather early in the fall,” explained Brumm. “Then came the bean huller and the clover seed huller; these sometimes ran well into the fall and much colder weather.” Brumm remembered 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 had to stav with rig overnight. “This particular event happened at the Glen Wotring Farm, five or six miles north of Nashville,” recounted 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 HOWARD GOODENOUGH WHEN WHATS DONE IS weet IRREVERSIBLE, DON’T LOOK BACK RENTAL PANS AVAILABLE! !

Trowbridge Service - AUTO SERVICE CENTER t some point in our lives, we all arrive at a crossroad where we are forced to reach a decision of such proportions that it cannot be reversed once it has been made. Of course, it is hoped that we adopted this course of action only after much soul-searching, weighing all the pros and cons, and appealing for divine guidance through our faith. However, once it has been done, we should not look back at the life, the home or whatever it is that we have left behind; because although we would not suffer the fate of Lot’s wife who failed to take this advice, we could cause ourselves much anguish and regret, and so we should look to the future instead.

The MVRDC, a non-profit volunteer organization comprised of eight board members, has been putting some final touches on the park which boasts two ball fields complete with chain link backstops; bleachers for both fields; players’ ben­ ches; scoreboard; park information center; portable toilets; and ten picnic tables. Several of the tables are located along a scenic wooded area near the Thornapple River which edges the park. An immediate goal of the MVRDC is to add playground equipment to the park. The organization, which will sponsor Nash­ ville’s upcoming Harvest Festival, Sept. 17-18, hopes to earn enough during that celebration to acquire the equipment. For the past several years, the MVRDC has sponsored the annual Harvest Festival to raise funds for develop­ ment of the recreational park. Additional monies were provided through revenue sharing allocations and a federal conservation grant which called for matching local funds. A plaque recently installed at the park on a hooded in­ formation center - bulletin board designates the site as a USA Land and Water Conservation Fund Project. Several years of planning and hard work by the MVRDC have gone into converting the 7-plus acre former swamp land into an attractive park. Trees and brush were cleared, the land filled and graded, topsoil added and grass seeded, in addition to construction of the playing fields, bleachers, etc. Present officers of the MVRDC are Larry Corkwell, Action-Ads NOTICE: We repair all makes of Garden tractors, lawn mowers, roto tillers and all small engines.

They found themselves to be very successful and placed second in the state. By finishing 2nd they have qualified to play in Toledo this weekend to try and qualify for the National Tournament held in Tulsa, Oka. in September. When the team traveled to Davison, its goal was to play as well as possible, try and win a couple of games and hope for the best. After playing their best ball of the year, everyone was very satisfied. Bad News started the tournament on Saturday morning by beating Russ’s West Side from Muskegon, 13-4. Bad News sent 10 men to the plate in the 3rd inning, and all 11 in the 4th to score 11 of their 13 runs. They collected 18 hits to go with their 13 runs. The next opponent of the tournament for Bad News was Newmans Lounge. Again, the News struck early scoring 6 runs in the first 3 innings to go on and win 10-4. Bad News had 21 hits in this game. The 3rd game of the day for Bad News was against Osentoski Realty. Neither team scored until Bad News struck for four runs in the 5th inning. They held on to win 4­ 1. After finishing Saturday with a 3-0 record they headed into Sunday competition JULY 22,1982 The regular meeting of the Nashville Village Council held July 22, 1982 at 7:00 p.m. at the Com­munity Center in Nashville was called to order by President John Hughes.

As Bad News headed into the losers bracket their goal was to win them one at a time and keep trying to improve their position in the state. First they played DeLau Fire Protection from Lansing. They seemed to catch DeLau a little down and won easily 5-0. This put them in the top 6 in the state. Next was Big Apple from Jackson. Once again the News won by a 5-1 score. Now they were in the top 3. They then got another chance at Peterson’s who had beat them earlier in the tour­ nament.

In the top of the 8th, Bad News scored twice and then held on to win 5-3. This was by far the most satisfying victory in the history of Bad News Softball. They finally had a chance to play in the Championship game of the Class A state finals. Their opponents were to be Leco from Benton Harbor. Bad News started strong by scoring 4 runs in the top of the 1st inning. Leco came right back with a 3 run homer in the bottom of the inning. Bad News picked up another run in the second inning and held a 5-3 lead until the 6th inning. A two run homer this time tied the game. Both Leco home-runs were tremendous blows into the wind. The score stayed tied until the 10th when both teams scored once. In the Uth the News, scored once but Leco came back with two runs to win the championship. This ended a very fine weekend for the club.

Michigan residents who are not registered voters can register to vote in the November Election until October 4. Registration forms are available at any branch office of the Michigan Secretary of State, or at your city hall, county court house, or township office. ABSENTEE BALLOT DEADLINES - Absentee voter applications can be obtained 75 days before the General Election, but must be returned by Saturday, October 30, at 2 p.m. Applications will be available at city halls, county court houses, or township offices. PROTECTION FOR MILK PRODUCERS - Legislation passed the Michigan House and Senate earlier this year that will help protect Michigan’s Milk producers. A recent bankruptcy of a Michigan milk processor cost the milk producing industry $24 million. The new measure would raise the dairy plant license fees to pay for the increased auditing of milk processors, so that further bankruptcies, and ensuing deficits can be avoided. The bill would also set new standards to ensure timely dairy payments to milk producers and resolve payment disputes between the two parties. GREAT LAKES WATER PROTECTION - While attending the recent National Governors’ Conference in Oklahoma, Governor Milliken presented the four resolutions approved at the Great Lakes Conference, held in June at Mackinac Island. The resolutions were adopted to protect the Great Lakes from further pollution and diversion by other states. The resolutions also promote the use of maritime user fees for the Great Lakes, and a review of all funding requests made to the federal government. The group is also asking for assistance in building a new lock for the Soo Canal. HEALTH CARE FACILITIES - The Michigan Depart­ ment of Public Health’s Health Facilities Services Ad­ ministration recently renewed the licenses of sixteen nur­ sing homes, five homes for the aged, two county medical care facilities, eight hospitals, and a surgical outpatient facility. It also approved the initial license for Michigan’s newest nursing home. The HFSA also levied $1,970 in fines against five nursing homes that violated patients’ rights. Four of the five facilities are seeking appeals. MICHIGAN STATE FAIR - Next week, the Michigan State Exposition and Fair opens at the State Fairgrounds, 1120 West State Fair Avenue in Detroit. The State Fair runs from August 27 through September 6. Othe fairs across Michigan include the Armada Agricultural Fair, August 17-22; the Emmet County Fair in Petoskey, August 22-28; the Hud­ sonville Community Fair, August 23-28; the Iron County Fair in Iron River, August 19-22; the Isabella County Fair, in Mount Pleasant, August 22-29; the Wayland Community Fair, August 20-21, and, the Kalamazoo County Fair will be held August 23-28 at Hickory Corners.

In 1981, the Amazing Acre was developed by the State’s Department of Agriculture and the Fair parent, the Department of Natural Resources. The 40,000 square foot exhibit was designed to showcase the products of Michigan farmers, while also providing an educational experience for the non-farming community. The “Amazing Acre” occupies one-half of the Agriculture Building and will have both interior and exterior displays. Last year, members of 4-H groups from around the state were recruited to come to the Fair to man the booths and are planning to return again this year. Bob McLachlan, the State Fair’s supervisor of agriculture and livestock, said the Fair’s agriculture schedule has been redesigned to make the con­ sumer more aware of the quality and uniqueness of Michigan’s agricultural products. He said food preparation demonstrations, sample giveaways and educational displays will be included in the Acre. McLachlan has been in charge of the Fair’s agricultural sector for 19 years and is retiring this year. His replacement will be Carol Culham, the State Fair’s youth exhibit coor­ dinator.

On stage will be the Dirk Rivers Band, Horsefeather, Four Wheel Drive, and Stone Oak. The music at the fund­ raising festival for the county owned park begins at 11:30 a.m. The Dirk Rivers Band has attracted a large following in the Grand Rapids area performing the newest in country and progressive country-rock music at the top night spots. The band is well-known for its highenergy shows punctuated with dual-guitar work. Four Wheel Drive, on the other hand, has gained its reputation at Bowsers in Kalamazoo, and other area clubs from its versions of traditional country music. The band highlights it shows with pedal steel guitar and fiddle. Horsefeather also built its reputation in the Grand Rapids area. The band re­ formed with some new members two years ago to widen its repertoire to in­ clude bluegrass, traditional and progressive country music. Stone Oak is the only outof-state band to appear at the third Thornapple Music Festival. Based in Madison, Wisconsin, a city noted for its musical talent, Stone Oak bills itself as a band that performs bluegrass, newgrass and western swing.

Harvest 'King and Queen contest' rules set Coins will count as plus-, votes and bills as minus votes in the race for Nash­ ville 1982 Harvest King. Checks may be designated either way. The two-folded system is expected to add a bit of humor and good-natured competition to the first at­ tempt ever to select a royal male for the annual Harvest Festival. Canisters to collect votes for the Harvest King will bear pictures showing only the legs of the con­ testants. Selection of the 1982 Harvest Queen will be along traditional lines, with penny votes. There will be no minus votes for the queen. Canisters to collect money in that race will bear photos of the candidates’ faces, as in the past. Rules outlining the two races were delivered last week to local businesses, organizations and churches which the Harvest Festival committee hopes will sponsor the royal can­ didates.

Douse was one of three receiving the award Monday at the 99th annual convention of the Michigan Pharmacists Association, held August 15­ 18 at Boyne Mountain. Presentation of the cer­ tificates from the Michigan Board of Pharmacy “in Adolph Douse, Jr., a retired Nashville pharmacist and businessman, admires an award presented to him last week by a state association of his peers in recog­ nition of his 50-year career as an outstanding Michigan pharmacist. (Maple Valley News photo by Susan Hinckley) recognition of 50 years service to the public and unselfish devotion to profession” came to Douse and two other registered pharmacists during a “Say Yes to Michigan” luncheon of the MPA. In May, Douse also was honored by Ferris State College at Big Rapids, when he received the Golden Eagle award marking the golden anniversary of his graduation from that school. A Nashville native, Douse has been associated more than 50 years with the local pharmacy, now owned by David Mace, at 207 N. Main Street. Starting as a high school sophomore in 1924, Douse commenced working at the store, then owned by Herbert D. Wotring. He continued to work for six years to earn his pharmacy apprenticeship and to save enough money to pay for his formal education at Ferris. After graduation from Ferris in 1932, and passing the state pharmacy board exams to earn his license in July of that year, Douse returned to the same Nash­ ville store where his career had begun. It was then owned by Von W. Furniss, with whom Douse became a partner in 1945. Six years later, Douse became sole owner of the business and retained ownership until selling it in 1966 to the late C. John Simon. After that, Douse worked several years at Lapo Pharmacy, which later became Bosley’s, in Hastings. During that time period, he spent four days each week in the Hastings store and worked one day per week as a relief phar­ macist in the Nashville store, which has since become Mace Pharmacy. Douse retired from full­ time pharmacy in 1972 and for the past ten years has worked only in a relief capacity. He and his wife, Rose, winter at Lakeland, Florida. They, have two grown sons, Kermit of Lansing, and Steven of Silver Spring, Maryland. Douse notes that when he was a young college graduate looking ahead in 1932 to a career as a registered pharmacist, he had commented to a fellow classmate that fifty years seemed very distant. Now that he has reached that milestone, in retrospect fifty years seems like “a very short time,” concludes Douse. Adding to the Nashville connection at the recent MPA convention at Boyne Mountain was the appearance of Patrick McKercher, Ph.D., a faculty member at Wayne State University and former Nash­ ville boy whose father, the late Leonard McKercher, once owned a pharmacy in Nashville. After selling that store about 30 years ago, the family moved to the Flint area. In time, young Patrick pursued a career in phar- macy and went on to become a professor in his field. McKercher served as toastmaster at a banquet of the MPA at Boyne Mountain last week and also spoke at a seminar attended by Douse. Taken some 30 years ago, this photo shows Douse filling a prescription at the store where he started his career as a high school apprentice and later became owner. Douse had had more than a 50-year association with the store, now Mace Pharmacy, in a building which has continually served in the same capacity on Nashville's Main Street for close to a century. The earliest prescription on file at the store is dated October 26, 1885. Early owners included Boise, Liebhauser, Furniss and Wotring. (Photo supplied) �The Maple Valley Hews, Hash He.

One letter of thanks came from Mrs. Edythe Klinkner of Tucson, Arizona, a former local resident who is a sister to the late Mrs. Earl (Madeline Hicks) Culp. Another came from the Culps' son, Robert, who lives at Kingman, Ariz. He expressed his gratitude for the story aobut his father, whom he described as a “very special person.” Robert Culp offered a correction to the final por­ tion of our story. Information supplied to us from another source had indicated that Rev. and Mrs. Culp (he entered the ministry after closing the bakery) had died in the late 1950s in an auto crash that occured as they were returning from a ministerial meeting while he was serving a church at Lapeer. “Mom and Dad were fatally injured leaving the church service from Le Roy, not Lapeer,” noted We are occasionally asked if we welcome families of all religious sects to use our funeral home.

Special Prayer for your heeds �The Maple Valley News, Nashville, Tuesday, August 24, 1982 — Page 3 Board approves loan application due to expected late state aid At a special meeting of the Maple Valley Board of Education held Tuesday, August 17, the board ap­ proved an operating loan application resolution in the amount of $525,000 which is being filed with the state Department of Education. The loan is necessary at this time considering the uncertainty of state aid payments according to school officials. Earlier the state depart- ment had indicated that the state aid payment which should have been received August 3, would be paid in two payments on August 20th and September 20. Now the school district has received a letter from the state department dated August 12 stating that the August 20 state aid payment will be delayed indefinitely. Action to borrow and the amount to be borrowed will be taken at the future meeting. The amount to be borrowed will depend upon when the Advertisement Afraid You’re Going Deaf? schools receives future state aid payments and the amount of them. The truth in taxation hearing was held with approximatley 15 people present. Several comments were made by citizens related to the increasing percentage of the cost paid by the local taxpayer while the state share declines. Citizens expressed the need for something to be done to revise the system of sup­ porting schools. Superintendent Carroll Wolff reported that the state equalized valuation of the school district is $57,019,639 compared with $52,502,318 last year. It was pointed out that the proposal is to levy the 25.01 authorized mills for operational purposes, and the action related to the millage levy has to be taken at least seven days after the date of the hearing.

The dog days of summer in turn-of-the-century Nash­ ville provided boundless tales of seasonal events to be recorded in the local News. July and August were traditional months for family reunions, church outings, political rallies, soldier encampments, the Farmers’ Picnic, and, later, Nashville’s Harvest Festival. It was a time for tending gardens, garnering crops of fresh fruits and vegetables, and commencing the harvest of grain. Dog days meant long hours in the hot sun for area far- mers, but the season also Church picnics and family reunions were popular events during July and brought boating, swimming, August. Often the meal was spread in the woods of a local farmer. At an Advent fishing, and barefoot Christian picnic at the Oversmith place in 1901, two large snakes were killed youngsters scampering within 10 feet of the diners.

Tuesday. August 24, 1982 — Page 7 Families can enjoy Michigan’s autumn sky scenery «« SIW S’ki1 S.IW ■kfcwJr “tin... Ski‘ 2®^ £a? ‘ The spectacle of migrating waterfowl is something all Michigan families can enjoy this fall, even if they don’t know the difference between a goose and a mallard. “The sheer color, noise and drama of this event can be enjoyed for itself,” says Glenn Dudderar, MSU Extension wildlife specialist. “Then, if you’re interested, by all means look things up and learn more about the waterfowl.” Dudderar says Michigan is located strategically on the waterfowl’s continental migratory route, thus providing the residents of our state with some spec­ tacular sky scenery during the autumn months. National wildlife refuges are marked on most road­ maps, Dudderar points out. The national refuges coin­ cides with the migratory routes the birds fly as they come from Canada. One is located in the Upper Peninsula near Manistique; another is just south of Saginaw and the third one, in Ohio, is just east of Toledo. The refuges are located so that birds fly about 400 miles between stops. The national wildlife refuges are not state parks, Dudderar emphasizes. They are set up to allow visitation but not to accommodate outdoor recreation, such as camping, picnicing, and using recreational vehicles. The refuges are ideal places to visit anytime in Sep­ tember. Be there at dawn or sunset to see the most im­ pressive sight. “It allows you to imagine what wetlands were once like,” Dudderar says, “and it’s a marvelous opportunity to see and hear waterfowl in concentration of tens of .thousands.” You are not limited to the national wildlife refuges, Duddera says. Many stateowned areas throughout Michigan also get influxes of birds. The Department of Natural Resources can provide maps indicating these areas. They are usually not marked on roadmaps. Visiting any waterfowl managment area in Sep­ tember is a wonderful family experience, especially if you are looking for an unhurried activity away from the crowds. Dont’ go expecting an amusement park or zooyou’ll be disappointed. Do expect gravel roads, near empty parking lots, closed headquarters buildings on week-ends, quiet paths and sudden appearances of wildlife. If you’ve never been to a wildlife area before, some of the following suggestions will be helpful: 1) Wear comfortable walking shoes; 2) Bring a thermos filled with something to drink; 3) Visit a restroom before entering; 4 bring a leash for your dog, and use it; 5) Bring some insect repellent if frosts have not yet occured; 6) Bring rain gear or be prepared to get wet if it rains; 7) Remember, there are not anonymous crowds to blend with. Littering and vadalism are obvious and the culprits more easily caught. Other locations where Michigan residents can enjoy waterfowl include the Kellogg Biological Station, north of Battle Creek, and the Muskegon Wastewater Treatment Plant. The Audubon Society also maintains a few refuges in the state. The whistling swans come through Michigan in November, Dudderar says. Once extremely rare, the whistling swan is making a comeback. It nests up in the Northwest Territories and British Columbia and flies over Michigan on its way to its wintering grounds in the Chesapeake Bay area. People in the lower peninsula have the best opportunity to see the swans. Pick a bright blue, sunny“high sky” day, Dudderar says. The swans like to fly in optimal weather. Michigan or Ohio will be their last stop. After leaving Michigan, they will fly straight through some 12 hours and 600 miles to the bay area. If you are interested in learning more about migratory waterfowl, Dudderar recommends the publication “Ducks at a Distance” which is available from the Superintendent of Documents, U.S. Govern­ ment Printing Office, Washington, D.C. 20402.

TEACHER STRIKE PREVENTION - In an effort to prevent work stoppages caused by public education labor disputes, the Public Education-Labor-Management Ad­ visory Council has been formed. It will not replace collective bargaining structures, but will enhance and improve collective bargaining techniques, according to the Michigan Department of Labor. In 1981, there were 13 school districts in Michigan that experienced teachers’ strikes. The average strike lasted 10.4 calendar days. VOLUNTEER TIME AND GIFTS AID SOCIAL SER­ VICES - Volunteers across Michigan have provided almost 1.5 million hours of services, as well as over $1.2 million worth of gifts and other contributions to the Department of Social Services. The latter is an increase of over 27 percent from the previous year. BUDGET CUTS CONTINUE - Governor Milliken has asked the House and Senate Appropriations Committees to approve a $150 million cut in this fiscal year’s budget. The fiscal year ends September 30, and revenue projections indicate that the shortfall will be nearly $150 million. Because Michigan has a balanced budget requirement in the State Constitution, the cuts are mandatory. When the State Legislature reconvenes on August 30 for the Fall Session, they will begin work on next year’s budget. The new fiscal year begins October 1. AUGUST FADING FAST! - Some of the events taking place this weekend in Michigan include the Hastings SummerFest, August 27-28, featuring a Fiddler’s Contest, August 28 at 3 p.m. at the Courthouse Square.

GOVERNOR PROMOTES GREAT LAKES RAIL SYSTEM - Governor William G. Milliken is seeking support from other Upper Great Lakes Governors for the development of a high speed rail system that would stretch from Minnesota to Ohio and possibly New York. According to the Governor, the rail network would offer “considerable opportunities for expanding tourism, creating new economic opportunities and encouraging industrial plant location.” Michigan, Ohio, Indiana and Pennsylvania have already begun forming an interstate compact supporting the plan, and are currently seeking the support of Minnesota and Wisconsin. �The Maple Valley News, Nashville, Tuesday, August 24, 1982 - Page 15 Obituaries Wayne O.

August 31. 1982 The race is on...for Nashville's Harvest Queen and King by Susan Hinckley The search was launched last week for royalty to reign over Nashville’s 1982 Har­ vest Festival, but this year the contest will have a new twist: a king will be selected along with the traditional queen. While the latter will be chosen by penny votes cast along conventional lines of grace and beauty, her male counterpart will be selected not by the appearance of his face, but of his legs. This bit of humor was introduced into the royal race by the Maple Valley Riverside Development Corp., spon­ sors of the Sept. 17-18 celebration. Proceeds of the king and queen contest and other festival events will help the MVRDC put finishing touches on a community recreational park recently developed west of the Main Street business district. Two ball fields, picnic facilities, and bleachers already are installed at the park, a 7-plus acre site developed over the past few years by the MVRDC with government grants and funds raised through the organization’s sponsorship of the annual Harvest Festival. Seven males and seven females have been entered in the 1982 royal race, meeting last week’s 5 p.m. Friday deadline. Sponsors of each are local business places which have set out canisters to collect votes for their candidate! s) and paid the $5 filing fee for each. Weekly tallies of votes will be made each Friday by Susan Cork­ well, chairperson of the contest. The final count will be made at noon Friday, September 17. The names of the winners will be kept secret until that evening, when the an­ nouncement will be made during an open-air stage show on Maple Street: All contestants are expected to he on hand for that event. In addition to coronation of the royal pair, a “booby” prize will be awarded to the male whose unfortunate pair oflimbs earned him the least votes. An important note, stresses Mrs. Corkwell, is that while all monies (coins, bills, checks) deposited in the canister of a queen candidate will count in her favor, the collection for male nominees will be handled a bit differently. Coins will count as plus votes for the king. Bills will count as minus votes for him. Checks may be designated by the donors as either plus or minus votes for the king candidate, This feature is expected to add even more hilarity to the race between the males, whose legs are featured in photos taped to their individual wote canisters. Each king nominee also has selected for himself a humorous “alias” for the contest. The Harvest King candidates are: “Effervescent” Dave Mace, sponsored by Mace Pharmacy; Dennis “Gimme Yer Bucks” Lamie, sponsored by Agnes’ Korner Kitchen; “Jumping” Jack Wyant, sponsored by Carl’s Kathy Wyant Market; “Raving” Ray Hinckley, sponsored by Grandma’s Greenery; “Leaping” Larry Winegar, sponsored by Big George’s Party Store; Dennis “Crazy Legs” Smith, sponsored by Hecker Agency; and “Mr. X.”, sponsored by Country Kettle Cafe.

Showing an early scene of Putnam Park, the card postmarked in Nash­ ville on May 6, 1913, was found recently by relatives of the Everett family at a curio shop in Florida. The message on the card was written by M. K. Smith to his granddaughter, Miss E. Koerner of Scranton, Penn­ sylvania. How the card eventually found its way to Florida nearly 70 years later is unknown, but it has now returned “home”. The scenic view on the card was photographed probably about 1911-12 as it shows the new ornamental iron Put­ nam Park entrance sign which was installed there in the summer of 1911, after the park was renamed in honor of Charles Putnam. Contrary to popular local belief, the' park which bears his name was not a gift from Putnam, a prominent local businessman who with his wife later willed their home to the village for use as a public library. The park site was purchased from heirs of the Ralston family with village funds. Though Putnam cannot be credited with giving the land, he did give a great deal of his time and money to the care and improvement of the park, including construction of a summer house, wading pool, fountain, outhouses, ben- ches, and planting of trees. The village council then deemed it only fitting that what had always been called “Waterworks Park” should be renamed in honor of the man who had done so much toward its development and perfection. On July 5, 1911, Putnam installed the sign bearing his name at the entrance to the park. It was sometime after this that the post card photo was taken. Of course, local oldtimers will recall that Charles Putnam did donate to the village the tract of land near Thornapple River, west of the business liistrict, for development of an early athletic field which became known as River Park ball field and which remained in use a number of years for various sporting events. Another recent con­ tribution to Putnam Public Library for display in the Michigan and Local History Room came from the Fred Corkins family of Nashville. It is a high school scrapbook kept by Pauline Partridge, a student at NHS in the late 20s and early 30s. The album contains clippings, photos and memorabilia of her schooldays. The book was among a collection of items recently uncovered by the Corkins family in the attic of their home on North Main Street. Among the other items found that would be of interest to local readers are several 1931-33 issues of the Informant, a Nashville high school newspaper of that Man is basically a social creature who lives his life in fellowship with others. At no time does he need an expression of this supporting fellowship more than at the time of mourning. Jesus said, " Blessed are they who mourn for they shall be comforted". He certainly was referring to the comfort afforded by our relatives and friends as He was of God's supporting presence. VOGT FUNERAL HOME IN NASHVILLE PHONE 852-0840 By Susan Hinckley era. (The Corkins have kindly loaned your reporter several copies of the paper for use in upcoming Memories stories.) -Ac­ cording to our most reliable information, Pauline was the daughter of Bert and Martha Partridge. The mother later remarried Hiram Baxter of Nashville and the family lived in the present-day Corkins home. Perhaps local oldtimers can inform us if this data is not correct. The Nashville Friends of the Library are planning a September 18 sale in con­ junction with the upcoming Harvest Festival. There is stil time to donate books for the event. Call the library if you need help in transporting your donation. Also to be sold at the all-day Saturday affair will be bargain priced copies of the 1982 Yesteryear in Maple Valley calendars, which contain drawings and captions on 12 historical structures in Nashville and Vermontville. The calendars will be sold at the close-out price of $1, with the FOL earning 25 cents profit on each. If you missed getting a calendar or want extras for keepsakes, don’t miss this opportunity. The FOL also will be selling coffee and pie during the book sale. The Nashville community welcomes Janie Miller, who moved here Friday from Battle Creek where she is employed at the Regional Medical Laboratories. Several of Janie’s local friends helped her make the move into the Kane house (longtime I. James Rizor place) on South Main. Mrs. Leo (Grace) Marisch of rural Nashville was in Pennock Hospital last week due to complications of a blood clot in her leg. She had been hospitalized there earlier this summer after suffering a heart attack. “Peg” Mater of Nashville underwent surgery last week at Pennock Hospital, and expects to be there a week or so. Cards to her should be addressed to Priscilla Mater, since she is registered under her proper name. The address is 1009 W. Green Street, Hastings, MI 49058. Bob Joseph of Carl’s Market, Nashville, attended a recent 2-day meat mer­ chandising seminar spon­ sored by the Iowa Beef Packers of Sioux City, Iowa. The event included an en­ joyable flight from Lansing on a 9-passenger jet owned by IBP, plus a return flight on the same aircraft. Seven Spartan store employees from Michigan were among the party attending the session. Others came from Missouri and Georgia. The guests were housed at the Marina Hotel and received royal treatment, plus learning a great deal in the training sessions. The company sponsors more than 80 such seminars per year, reports Bob. Condolences are extended to the family of Azor Leedy of Nashville, who passed away August 25 at Barry County Medieal Care Facility, at age 88. A lifelong area resident, he had been in ill health for some time. Jack and Judy Quantrell, who recently opened the Country Kettle Cafe in what was the former Village Inn on Main Street, have donated to Putnam Public Library a painting by the late “Hank” Reynolds of Nashville. The lake scene is one of several original oils of his which hung for many years in the cafe. Last year, Mr. and Mrs. Al Hein of Nashville gave another of Reynold’s scenic paintings to the library, which now has on display the works of several Nashville artists. Mr. and Mrs. Larry Hawblitz of Battle Creek were recent Saturday af­ ternoon callers on his mother, Mrs. Fern Hawblitz of Nashville. Wednesday visitors at the Hawblitz home were Mr. and Mrs. Erwin Bruce of Battle Creek. The Cloverleaf Class of the Nashville United Methodist Church will meet at 1:30 p.m. Thursday, September 2, at the home of Mrs. Ada Scott of Nashville. Assisting Mrs. Scott as hostess will be Mrs. Gunda Pennock. The Nashville Garden Club meets at 1:30 p.m. Tuesday, September 7, at Putnam Park. Speaker for the event will be Chuck Bethke of Michigan State University, talking on seasonal care of plants. The committee for the event is comprised of club officers. Mrs. Dana (Mary) Irvin, formerly of Vermontville, will mark her 100th birthday Friday, September 3, at Barry County Medical Care Facility, where she now resides. Relatives have suggested a card shower to brighten her day. The ad­ dress is 2700 Nashville Rd., Hastings, MI 49058. Mrs. Irvin is the aunt of Keith Seitz of Vermontville. Former local resident Dale Lapham of Walterboro, South Carolina, paid a recent visit to Nashville and stopped in at Putnam Public Library .for a tour of the facility and conversation with Librarian LaDuska Sheldon. While there, he gave a family donation to the library’s building fund, in memory of his parents, Leander “Lee” and Ruth Lapham and sister, Leota Lapham. Others of the family contributing to the donation, in addition to Dale, were Florence Ashbrook, Virginia Allen, Donna Mc­ Coy and Betty Phillips. The Laphams are descendants of early Maple Grove Township settlers. Other recent donations to the library building fund came from Del and Louise Reickord and Mrs. Melissa Showalter in memory of Fordyce Showalter and Glenard and Annabelle Showalter. Other con­ tributions to the fund recently received were from Mike, Linda and Sarah Kenyon; and from Sig and Beatrice Johnson.

The Nashville Village Council Thursday put their stamp of approval on the MVRDC festival plans, including closure of M-66 for Saturday’s events; Gary Wilcox of Charter Tele-Communications, Inc.,, the cable company recently granted a franchise to furnish cable TV service to Nashville, told the village council Thursday that his firm is “still looking at a November-December completion date” for the system. Wilcox gave a progress report on the project, and also indicated that the company may hire two or three Icoal people to comprise a marketing staff when the appropriate time arrives to solicit subscriptions in Nashville. Dennis Morowski of Nashville has been hired as the new sexton of Lakeview Cemetery. He replaces Thomas McGrail who recently resigned the position. Merle Sears of Nashville lost three and one-half pounds in one week to be named top weekly weight loss winner when God’s NoMunch Bunch met Monday at Nashville Baptist Church. The Nashville council agreed Thursday to install a sewer collection line across Putnam Park to serve the residence at 815 N. Main Street, due to “very special circumstances” of the house being under court order to continued— hook up to the municipal sewer system and the fact that the village does not want to grant individual grant easements across the park property. Trustee Bob Fueri, Jr., who made the recommendation as head of the DPW committee, said this would allow the village to retain control of theirr own land. He estimated the material cost of the project at $681. Methods of collecting delinquent bills from Nashville’s sewer and water users received consideration but no action at Thursday’s meeting of the village council. An ordinance to establish procedure of collections through the court system was discussed and referred to committee for study and recommendation. Local observers have noticed a flurry of activity around the old quarters of the Standard Stamping Company on Reed Street. The building, vacated when that firm ceased operations last year, is now to be occupied by Menominee Rubber Company of Milwaukee, Wisconsin. Village President John Hughes has been in contact with officials of that firm, who said they wished to relocate in southwest Michigan in order to be closer to their market places. The local plant, Hughes explained, is to be primarily a distribution center for hydraulic hoses used mainly in farm equipment. Interviews of job applicants at the plant last week drew a good turnout of “hopefuls”. According to Nancy’s BEAUTY SHOP 157 S. Main, Vermontville Phone 726-0330 information supplied to Hughes, the firm intends to hire from 5 to 10 persons at present. Martha Friddle of the Rocky Mountain Bible Mission at Missoula, Mon­ tana, has enjoyed a twoweeks visit here with her parents, the Paul Friddles. She left Monday to return to the mission, traveling with friends from Grand Rapids. Her brother, David, and his wife drove to Montana to bring Martha to Michigan. While here, she was feted at a Thursday evening meal at Faye’s Dinner Bell Restaurant in Sandyland Park by the PFC, a ladies’ missionary group of Nash­ ville Baptist Church. Classes commenced today, August 31, at Maple Valley schools for the 1982-83 school year and will start Sep­ tember 7 at Nashville Christian Academy, a K-12 facility located in the educational wing of the local Church of the Nazarene. The 70th birthday of Dewey Dull of Nashville will be one he never forgets! He was honored with a family fish fry at his home Sunday, and a surprise conclusion to the evening event was the arrival of a “belly dancer”. Those who arranged for her appearance are unidentified. Present for the gala occasion were Mr. and Mrs. Duane Hoffman and Eric; Mr. and Mrs. Ray (“John”) Hoff­ man; Mr. and Mrs. Marvin Hoffman, Leon and Carleen; and Mr. and Mrs. Hubert Dull, all of Nashville; Mr. and Mrs. Robert Webb of Hastings; Mr. and Mrs. Ron Hoffman and Carolyn of Lake Odessa; Mr. and Mrs. John Brail of Freeport, their daughter, Joyce, her husband, Joe, and their two daughters. A potluck supper on the lawn of Nashville Baptist Church on Sunday, Sep­ tember 5, will precede the 7 p.m. evening service featuring the film “Beyond the Cross”, dealing with evangelism behind the Iron Curtain. We received a letter last week from former local resident Gaylord H. Wotring of Venice, Florida, a 1922 graduate of Nashville High School. He offered a current address on his cousin, John L. Wotring, who has been the topic of several recent items in this column after a reader inquired about his whereabouts following the appearance of John’s name in a June 15 Memories ar­ ticle. Gaylord writes that he last heard from his cousin in July and the address is 850 Quilliams Rd., Cleveland, OH 441?}. In addition to this information, Gaylord’s letter contained an interesting history of the local Wortring family and his recollection of this community. “My memories of Nashville go Continued on page 14 Nashville 5,000 METER 3.1 MILE RUN, WALK or CRAWL dateRACE TIME: SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 18,1982 9:00 A.M.

Don Roscoe, 304 Phillips Street, Nashville, Michigan 49073 The Maple Valley News, Nashville, Tuesday, August 31. 1982 — Page 3 �The Maple Valley News, Nashville, Tuesday, August 31, 1982 — Page 4 Nashville bridge was part of Roosevelt's 'new deal' program The camera of the late Otto Lass, Nashville mill owner, captured in 1934 progressive stages of con­ struction of the new Thor­ napple River bridge. The concrete span on North Main Street replaced an iron bridge built in 1899 as an improvement over earlier, primitive crossings. The new concrete bridge was built primarily with federal monies as. part of President Roosevelt’s “New Deal” program to spur nationwide recovery from the Great Depression. In Nashville, as many local laborers -as possible were hired to build the new bridge, commencing in the summer of 1934. The Nashville News carried on-going reports of the project: “Our new bridge is coming along nicely,” noted the News on August 16, 1934. “The central pier has been completed and forms removed. On the north side the cofferdam has been completed and cement is being poured, the bottom being finished.” Cofferdams were engineered to temporarily divert the flow of water while concrete piers were con- Step One of Nashville's 1934 bridge project was to build a temporary wooden span to carry traffic across the Thornapple while the old iron bridge (visible behind crane) was torn out and replaced with a modern concrete bridge. Looking eastward, this scene shows old waterworks building and smokestack at left. structed and anchored in the river bed. The bridge project was not without setback and tragedy, however. There was a collapse during the pouring of a cement pier. Joel Hummel of rural Nashville, who was one of the workmen on the job at that time, recalls the catastrophe. He believes the forms collapsed due to the excessive weight of the poured concrete. There were no serious in­ juries in that mishap, but there was loss of life related to the bridge project. “A serious accident Sunday morning marred the smoothness which has in general attended the progress of our new bridge,” reported the News on Sep­ tember 20,1934, “and a wellknown Nashville young man, Raymond Knoll, lies critically ill in Sparrow Hospital, Lansing.” Knoll, an employee on the project, had been riding a steel beam being moved by a crane when the cable snapped, dropping the beam and pinning Knoll beneath it, remembers his boyhood friend Adolph Douse, Jr., of Nashville. Rushed to Sparrow Hospital in Lan­ sing, Knoll later succumbed there to his injuries. Building of the bridge was of day-to-day interest to local residents, who often passed their leisure time viewing its progress. “Many were at the bridge Sunday, watching the first NOTICE As of today, Aug. 31,1982 I have sold Nashville Auto and Farm Supply pouring of cement for the south half of the bridge floor,” noted the News on October 11, 1934. “The work on the superstructure is coming along fne now. It is thought the bridge may be completed in three weeks, but there is considerable yet to be done.” Viewing was done largely from the temporary wooden span built west of the old iron bridge to carry traffic across the river until the concrete span was finished. Removal of the old iron bridge took only a few days. . “Those who ‘walked the plank’ to the new M-14 bridge Sunday found it wor­ thwhile,” reported the News on October 18, “not alone to look over intimately the handsome structure so nearly completed, but also for the wonderful view up and down the river, of the trees and foliage in their autumn costumes, evolved by the magic touch of Jack Frost.” (Present-day M-66 was then known as M-14.) That account noted that the bridge itself seemed very near to the finished stage, with cement work apparently done, ready for ornamental steel panels to be placed between the cement posts, and for the addition of electric lights. There was some talk in the village of arranging a large dedication ceremony at the bridge, but by November 1 the News reported that such an event was not feasible at the present. “Lack of time to work up a supplementary program for In a Step Two view of the bridge project, onlooker line the temporary wooden span to watch construction.

It was during this phase of construction that tragedy struck. the 15-minute, talk which State Highway Com­ missioner Murray D. VanWagoner could give only on Nov. 1 and a consequent lack of time for publicity to bring in a crowd sufficient to honor Mr. VanWagoner, and the unsettled weather conditions were the deciding factors in the decision not to dedicate our $30,000 bridge now, but with the highway to be built later and which completes the project as a whole.” If possible, suggested the News, the dedication should be a large Celebration, a homecdming. “But no definite date will be forthcoming for some Continued on next page- PROFESSIONAL BUSINESS DIRECTORY AMWAY Products FOR SALE by...

Michigan dignitaries, including Governor Fit­ zgerald, were invited to take part in the dedication of the “new bridge built last year and the M-14 relocation pavement project now under construction.” The highway construction involved paving the dirt road north from the fire station (where the brick pavement Nashville Co-op ELEVATOR ... will be ... CLOSED Sept. 4,5 & 6 of the Main Street business district ended) to the present-day Carl Bahs place at the top of the hill. In the process, the highway was rerouted to eliminate a “dog leg” in the old road which had led motorists west on Brumm Road and north on Bridge Street. Nashville’s 1935 Homecoming-Dedication celebration apparently was a great success. In its report of the event, the News ob­ served: “In real carnival spirit with a variety of en­ tertainment and with en­ thusiasm which comes with the presence of many people, Nashville’s 4-day homecoming, it’s first in four years, carried through in a very acceptable way in its various phases, as a homecoming and greeting of old friends and relatives, as a state centenary ob­ servance with exhibits of antiques arid relics, as a dedication event for our more than $70,000 bridge and highway improvements in the way of high grade sport and entertainment, and the gospel day which brought previous pastors and spiritual uplift.” Farm Insurance?

Charlotte, Mi 48813. Saturday, August 7, at dawn, 11 Boy Scouts and three dads made the final packings and headed for Matthews Lake in Ontario some 500 miles north. The troop crossed Big Mac, stopped in Sault Ste. Marie and arrived in Wawa about 6 p.m. where they picked up fishing licenses. Some of the Scout called home from Wawa before heading to White River where they met Chuck Baughman who was their guide for the rest of the trip. Sunday two hours by car over a two-track trail and two more hours by boat brought them to the island in Matthews lake where they would spend the next week. The weather was cold and rainy till Wednesday when the sun finally came out and the weather warmed. The scouts could then swim without freezing and explore their tiny island home. Tuesday Ken ' Meade, Scoutmaster, and Dave Finkler took scouts Kenny Meade, George Steinbrecher, John Clifford, Matt Peaker, Bobby Kesler and Danny Kellogg on a hike around the south shore of the lake looking for a trail, checking plant life and terrain. They did’t find the trail shown on their maps but did find wild huckleberries. The scouts packed in all their food for the week ex­ cept for fish which they caught in abundance and even brought some home for each boy to share with his family. One day they cooked maple syrup into maple sugar which the boys agreed really hit the spot. The guys reported seeing bears, they heard moose calling at night, found they could catch ptarmingans (birds) by throwing worms at them and grabbing the birdswhile they were busy with the worms. Saturday morning, a week older and wiser, the troop packed and started back to civilization. They reached Wawa in the later afternoon and camped just north of the Macinaw Bridge that night. They arrived home Sunday afternoon tired but full of stories about their week in the wilds of Canada. It was a long week filled with fishing, travel, cam­ ping, and working together.

Due to the economic climate, many companies holding blood drives im­ mediately before and after the Labor Day holiday are closed and cannot provide the needed blood for that period. This is a time when hospital blood needs are increased substantially. A special blood drive will be held at Pennock Hospital September 10 from 1 p.m. to 7 p.m. in an effort to collect 10 pints. Donors who gave at the Aug. 22 Drive at Leason Sharp Hall cannot give. Some scouts worked on cooking, hiking, camping and fishing merit badges. It was a memorable adventure for all, made possible by the sap collecting project last spring and a lot of cooperative parents. For those who went, Scoutmaster Meade, Asst.

Many Sunday Schools will be participating in this Rally Day. Balloons will be passed out that day and at 12 noon, they will be released. They will bear the name, address and phone number of the church and participants will be hoping to hear from people who find them. Nashville Assembly of God Sunday School Superin­ tendent Tom Goodmen urges every one to be Up! Up! Up! with Sunday School and be present at 10 a.m. Sept. 5 to help reach a goal of 150 balloons released that day. The Ray Overholts will be on hand that day presenting gospel music and praising God with us. Soil test for wheat planting Farmers that are making arrangements for fall wheat planting should not forget to soil test to determine fer­ tilizer needs. Soil tests should be taken every three years for efficient fertilizer use. The Eaton County Cooperative Extension Service advises farmers to take at least 20 soil borings per 15 acre field to a depth of 8 inches or plow depth. After the soil borings are thoroughly mixed, bring a pint of the soil to the Cooperative Extension Service, 126 N. Bostwick, Charlotte. The soil will be tested at the Michigan State University Soil Testing Laboratory and the results will be returned by mail. The fee is $4 per sample. poverty level. The income guidelines are as follows: Household size of one, non­ farm $5,850, farm $5,013; household size of two, non-farm — $7,775, farm — $6,638; household ■ size of three, non-farm —$9,700, farm — $8,268; household size of four, non-farm — $11,625, farm $9,888; household size of five, non­ farm $13,500, farm $11,513; household size of six, non-farm — $15,475, farm — $13,138. Because a number of shut­ ins meet the eligibility requirements but have no way to obtain the cheese, a representative for that person may pick up the cheese. The shut-ins are asked by the CAA to write a note indentifying their representative and provide some form of identification proving eligibility. One loaf of cheese will be given to families up to four people and two loaves will be given for families five and over. Each person requesting cheese will be required to provide identification, such as a Medicaid card, a food stamp card or an unemployment notification. All people receiving chesse will be required to sign a list; certifying that the cheese is being used only for personal consumption. Distribution will be on Sept. 8 only at these sites and times in Barry County: Hastings — Seventh Day Adventists Health and Welfare Center, 502 E.

August 31. 1982— Page9 Frizzell and West shine through the clouds at Sandyland, Sunday Special to the News by Steve Reid Sandyland ended its 1982 country music season in fine style Aug. 22, with a show by country music’s duo of the year David Frizzell and Shelly West. The day was witnessed by a good crowd, but less than expected because of the threat of rain. Owner George “Sandy” Salyers said that telephone calls from as far away as Mount Pleasant and Saginaw came in Sunday morning asking about the weather. The rain in the morning finally cleared enough for the first show to be com­ pleted without a sprinkle. Frizzell and West didn’t disappoint those who took a chance coming out to the park. They sang their hits “Another Honky Tonk Night On Broadway”, and “You’re The Reason God Made Oklahoma”, as well as many other songs that highlighted their fine vocal blend. Shelly West acknowledged her mother Dottie West, the influence of her music and did a medley of her mother’s well known hits. They younger West appears to have a fine future ahead with her excellent voice, that can handle rock, bluegrass, or country equally well. Frizzell also acknowledged the influence on his career by his brother, the late Lefty Frizzell. David sang “There’s A Little Bit Of Lefty Left In Me”, in tribute to him. with youth conservation Continued from page 8camp work at Chitenden mercial loan officer for YCC Camp.

REMEMBER THE SNOW? - The Michigan Department of Transportation recently released an awesome set of statistics relating to the winter of 1982.

The cost was one-third higher than the previous record of $30.5 million set the year before, and that one was a mild winter.

One such happened in Ver­ montville recently and I would like to share it with readers of the News. Rosa and I attended the Historical Society meeting that was held in the Village Square. It was a fan­ tastically beautiful August evening. As we enjoyed the bountiful meal I- could not help looking up from the table at the spire of the church across the way. As the .shadows lengthened the Church was even more silhouetted against the sunset. The beauty of that sunset was magnificent by itself, but with the church and the spire before it the scene was awe-inspiring. It seemed to me that the Author of that sunset was saying,, “I am still here”! He was there, of course, when those hardy pioneers came from Ver­ mont to found a settlement in the wilderness. Because of their faith in Him, among the very first things that they did was to establish a place for worship and a place for learning. In our day, what with Court decisions, Madlyn Murray O’Hare, and the ACIU, we sometimes seem to forget our history and our incomparable heritage in which the Almighty played so great a part. All of us find times when we need our faith restored. That night in Vermontville, this writer was certainly made mindful. In that scene, I had the feeling.of awe, of reverence, and also ofrenewed hope and faith. He was there. He is part of our heritage. In expressing my own opinion I am confident that there are many others who share in it; Edgar Fleetham Commissioner and also trains and shows Cheryl and Denise Keefer of horses for her parents. Mulliken, Karen Haas of Other inembers in the club Vermontville and Tia are: Jennifer and Jolene Zukowski of Battle Creek.

After high school, he taught in the one-room school at Hosmer Corners during the 1922-23 school year. ‘‘Then I attended Western Michigan for two years before going on to the University of Michigan where I got my engineering degree in 1929,” continued Gaylord. “I spent the next 37 years with General Electric and retired in 1966.” He returned to Michigan at that time but in 1969 he and his wife decided to give Florida ■a try and have been there ever since. Another reader letter last week came from Guy Howell, former local resident now of Tucson, Arizona. He commented on several recent Memories topics, including the story on early threshing rigs which told of country boys playing a prank on a town greenhorn by adding a 50-lb. rock to the first bag of grain he at­ tempted to carry. Howell had a smilar experience when he worked one summer as a grain carrier on a rig, travelling from farm to farm. “We were threshing wheat and they put two bushels in each bag,” recalls Howell. “I think the business of the rock in the bag was standard procedure because in the beginning I got a heavy bag. I thought they had just put more wheat in it so I shouldered it and went to the granary. There, when I emptied it, I found a good­ sized rock, I reckon.I spoiled their fun though because I didn’t say a word about it. The rest of the bags had only wheat in them.” WITH COUPON K mart* Skirr Lotion Softens skin. 16 oz." ’R. Ol.

Martinoff attributes the low dropout rate to lack of employment opportunities for young people these days. “More of them are sticking with the program, because there’s not much for them outside without it,” says Martinoff.

M discharged from the program for behavior reasons. “Ordinarily, about 20 or so will be discharged for getting in trouble, but this year we’ve had far less problems.” According to Martinoff, federal funds obtained by Mid Counties have provided jobs and training for 1,100 youths since last fall, about 20 percent of which from Barry County. Through titles II-B, VIII, IV, and the Governor’s Youth Grant of the Com­ prehensive Employment and Training Act, 1,115 youths have been given actual work experience and classroom training. Of that number, 43 percent are minorities. Title II-B served 300 youths, of which 103 are minorities. Forty par­ ticipants were handicapped youths enrolled in a special program through the Calhoun Intermediate School District which, using Junior Achievement techniques, allowed the participants to explore and evaluate business organizations and participate in the develop­ ment of work models. Out of Title IV funds, Mid­ Counties operated two programs: the Youth Em- ployment and Training Program, and the Summer Youth Employment Program. The Youth Employment and Training Program served 140 youths, of which half were minorities. This program provided training in job seeking and retention skills, vocational training and actual experience in the real working world. The Summer Youth Employment Program provided 614 youths, of which half were minorities, with classroom training and work experience. Classroom training stressed “career exploration” and “labor market orientation”. “Career exploration” was developed for youths 14 to 15 years old, who, through various sub agencies, ex­ plored various occupations and identified career in­ terests and goals. The “labor market orientation” classes were run in conjunction with the program’s work experience portion for youths aged 16 to 21. The development of job seeking and interviewing skills were stressed. They were trained in written and verbal communication, and the development of career decision-making skills. The work experience portion of the program gave participants actual job experience and taught such good work habits as at­ tendance, punctuality, and the meeting of employer’s expectations. Ann Schafer, chairperson of the Mid Counties Em­ ployment and Training Consortium Board, says that 43 percent of the youth that are employed were from the traditionally high unem­ ployment groups, such as minorities and the han-, dicapped. �Augusit o 31i, 1i79o8z2 — rPage 1io6 The Maple Valley News, Nashville, Tluesuduay,. n SAVINGS • SATISFACTION i SELECTION PRICES EFFECTIVE MONDAY, AUGUST 30 THRU SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 4,1982.

Besides the usual swings and ball fields, students have a giant-sized learning tool — a big map of the United States, painted on a paved area. Prior to the opening of school, two industrious teachers and a couple of students put their creative and artistic talents to work in designing and painting the map. Teacher Linda Andres had the idea for the project and she enlisted the help of teacher Liz King to draw it. Linda also painted it. Students Debbie Joostberns, a fourth grader, and Marlene Munn, a junior high student, also gave a helping hand The map includes all the states and the location of each capital has been designated with a big dot. By coming in frequent contact with the large map, teachers hope it will help students have a good time learning about the states and an easier time learning about their individual locations.

Steven MacDonald, immediatie past president of the MVEA and a member of the teachers' negotiating team, said Friday’s meeting was “to tie some things together (so) we can of­ ficially call it a tentative agreeemenL” Other members of the teachers negotiating team are MVEA President Lucinda Martin, John Hughes, Judy Rohr, and Linda Andres. Also present at Friday meeting was Jean Cusick, a Michigan Education Association negotiator. Maple Valley’s 75 teacher are working under articles in their old contract including an agreement reached last spring which has increased daily student contact time about 20 minutes for junior­ senior high school faculty members. There has been no change in the work schedule at the elementary level, said MacDonald. Teachers at Maple Valley Junior-Senior High School now give six-hours of in- struction time per day in addition to conducting a onehour conference period. A new concept implemented this school year to allow more flexibility grants the teacher the option of selecting his or her preferred time to be present for con­ ference hour at either 7-8 a.m. before school com­ mences for the day or 2:30­ 3:30 p.m. after the school day ends. Present enrollment at Maple Valley, which com­ menced classses August 31, is estimated by Supt. Wolfe at 1,605. This is a decline of approximately 65 students from last year. Mace and Symonds 'out-in-front' in Harvest Festival King & Queen contest “Effervescent’ Dave Mace, sponsored by Mace Pharmacy, is leading the pack of seven Nashville Harvest king candidates for the second consecutive week. The second weekly tally of votes made Friday by Susan Corkwell, chairperson of the contest, showed Mace in the lead with Dennis Smith of Hecker Agency in second place. In the race for harvest queen, Jean Symonds, sponsored by Agnes’ Korner Kitchen, was in the lead with Kathy Wyant of Carl’s Market in second place. Weekly tallies of the penny votes will be made each Friday and reported in the Maple Valley News. All coins, bills, and checks will count as votes for the queen. But, the rules are different for king contestants. Coins deposited in their vote canisters will count as plus votes, bills will count as minus votes, and checks may be designated either way by the donor. Announcement of the winners will be made during an open air stage show on Maple St. Friday evening Sept. 17. The royal couple will reign over Nashville's Sept. 18 Harvest Festival celebration. All proceeds of the contest will help the MVRDC, sponsors of the festival, continue development of the community recreation park. Jean Symonds Grade A milk market program hearing A public hearing on a proposed Michigan dairyman’s market program for Grade A milk has been scheduled by the Michigan Department of Agriculture for Wednesday, September 15, 1982. The hearing will begin at 10 a.m. in the auditorium of the Michigan State policy academy, 7426 North Canal Road, Lansing (located in the state secondary governmental complex at the intersection of 1-96 and temporary 1-69 US-27 between Lansing and Charlotte). Petitions requesting establishment of the program have been signed by more than 200 milk DAIRY, continued page 15 �The Maple Valley News. Nashville, Tuesday. September?, 1982 — Page 2 Nashville News the start and finish line at the Kellogg School on the corner of Queen and Washington streets. The course, says Pastor Roscoe, is almost completely flat and paved, with a short portion of dirt roads, and should be “ex­ tremely fast”. No T-shirts will be given out this year, as have been in past Harvest Runs, but Pastor Roscoe has arranged a drawing of merchandise prizes for which all entrants in the race will be eligible. In addition, running shoes will be awarded to the overall top finishers in both men’s and women’s divisions. Five medals will be presented.in the men’s category; and three in the women’s. Race time is 9 a.m. with race day registration between 7:30 You may run, walk or crawl — but plan to par­ ticipate in Nashville’s 3.1 mile (5,000 meter) Harvest Festival race. Pastor Don Roscoe, chairman of the Saturday, Sept. 18 event, urges “everybody in town” to take part, “no matter how” they cover the course: running, walking or crawling. To add a little extra zip to the contest, he expects to arrange in­ dividual and group challenges between some of the participants. The race is planned as a fun event, and one does not have to be a professionall runner to compete. Men and women of all ages are welcome. The route of the race will be roughly around the perimeter of the village, with By and 8:30 at Kellogg School. Registration blanks for pre­ entry are available, at local business places and at Nash­ ville Village Hall. Pastor Roscoe says, “Come and set a record in the first ever 5,000 meter run!”. The pre­ entry fee is $3 and should be sent in a check to Nashville Harvest Run, In Care of Rev. Don Roscoe, 304 Phillips St., Nashville, MI 49073. All pre­ entries must be postmarked on or by September 10. The event is sponsored by the Maple Valley Riverside Recreational Development Corp., the organization in charge of the 1982 Nashville Harvest Festival as a fund­ raiser for development of a community recreational park. Lois Elliston, member of the MVRDC and chairperson of the Harvest Festival Produce contest, is seeking entries for that event. She advises that categories will be largest pumpkin; largest sunflower (in diameter of face); best of show; most unusual produce; and best fresh and dried floral arrangements. Again this year, as in the past, the grower of the top pumpkin will have his or her name inscribed on a permanent Harvest Festival plaque. Something new at the festival this year will be a Children’s Pet Contest set for Saturday morning, preceding the Grand Parade.

Call Kathy Mace at 852-1946 if you wish to participate. Word has been received of the death Saturday, August 28, of Sylvester Van Horn, formerly of Nashville. He died at Madison Heights, near Detroit. Van Horn was 99 years of age, just three months short of his 100th birthday, which would have occurred on November 21. His dream was to live to be one hundred, said Mrs. Homer Snow when she called us with the report of his death. Sylvester was .married to the former Mrs. Christina Snow of Nashville, who survives. He moved to Nashville from Clare about 24 years ago. Van Horn was an avid hunter and fisher­ man and in later years travelled around the state to participate in parades and fairs, exhibiting trophies of his sports adventures. In a 1979 interview on Channel-8 TV’s “On the Michigan Road”, Van Horn told show host Dick Evans that he had killed over 100 deer in his 90 years of hunting — a sport he had pursued since age six. He’d also killed countless bears; he remembered downing four in one season. In the wintertime, Sylvester enjoyed fishing from his ice shanty, a popular sight on the Thornapple River in Nashville. He had been in failing health for the past couple years and had to give up his annual deer hunting trek to northern Michigan. During his lifetime, Van Horn once said, he had hunted in every county in the state. (Obituary elsewhere in this issue of the News.)

Meade, a former local resident now of Franklin, wrote last week to add personal recollections to our recent Memories story on early threshing rigs. One of the outfits pictured in the piece and mentioned in the article was that of his uncle, Charles Mead of Castleton Township. Wrote Meade: “I remember Frank Bailey (the engineer mentioned in our story) as I was part of the threshing gang on my Uncle Charles Mead’s machine in the summer of 1921 and a part of the sum­ mer of 1922.1 also worked on the machine a part of the summer of 1933 during the depression when summer jobs for schoolteachers were not too plentiful and you worked at whatever was available to make ends meet. Frank Bailey worked with the threshing gang some of the time I was with him.

Both men were experts at keeping the threshing machine (separator) running. When belts broke, or wet straw plugged the machine, or if a bundle-pitcher accidentally threw his pitchfork into the machine, either of these men could fix the machine in a hurry so little time was lost on the job. Bailey was equally expert at operating the steam traction engine you showed in the article and making repairs on it when necessary.” Meade recalls that threshing work was hard, but fun. “We had many excellent meals at the farms where we threshed. It seemed that each lady of the house tried to outdo the others in the meals that were prepared for us.” Occasionally there were places where the food was not so tasty, and the crew hurried to finish there, recalled Meade, so they could move on to the next place “where we knew the fare would be much better.” He said he always tried to go home at night. “I couldn’t stand sleeping in barns without a bath after a day of dirty work tending blower on the machine. Anyway, your article was a good one and it brought back pleasant memories of threshing in the 1920s.” Sandy Hulbert, daughter of Mrs. Ralph Rasey of rural Nashville, returned home last week after a summer’s stay in New York state. She will resume her studies at In arranging a funeral, the family should realize that added costs include newspaper notices, trans­ portation fees, automobile rentals, musicians, cemetery, crematory or mausoleum fees these items alone can exceed the funeral director's total bill.

Although she’s not sure if she qualifies as an “oldtimer” (we’d asked local oldtimers to let us know if last week’s data on Pauline Partridge was incorrect), Mrs. Clifton (Arloa) Baxter of Nashville was the first to call to set the record straight. It seems Pauline’s mother, Mrs. Bert (Martha) Partridge, later married Lyman Baxter, not Hiram as we had reported. Lyman, an early local plumber who lived in the present-day Fred Corkins home, was an uncle to Hiram Baxter. All of the fire departments in Barry County are ex­ pected to participate in a water ball competition to be staged by the Nashville Fire Dept, during the upcoming Harvest Festival.

The competition will last about three hours. Catherine Hess of Nash­ ville was named top weekly weight loss winner when God’s No-Munch Bunch met Monday for their weigh-in at Nashville Baptist Church.

Verna Frederick of Nashville received honors as the top monthly weight loser, for dropping nine and onequartej pounds in August. Robert and Carlene Randall and daughters, Nicole and Dawn, of Bluefield, West Virginia, were recent visitors of his sister Jan and family, the Paul Coopers of Nashville. Mrs. Randall is a teacher at Bluefield College in Virginia. (The state line between the two Virginias runs through the town.) The Randalls arrived here on Jan’s bir­ thday, August 22, and a family cookout at the Cooper home celebrated the oc­ casion. Present in addition to the Randalls and the Coopers were Mahlon and Joann Roe of Climax; Jim and Karen Roberts of Schoolcraft; Maynard and Elaine Randall of Grand Rapids; “Mo” and Debbie Morawski and children Duska, Derek and Diona, of Nashville.

She accompanied her granddaughter, Mrs. Brenda Starkweather of Lansing. Mr. and Mrs. Adrien Pufpaff of Nashville were in Muskegon last week to call on her brother and wife, Mr. and Mrs. Harrison Davis. Thursday, the Pufpaffs and Mr. and Mrs. Horace Van Nocker of Lacey enjoyed a sightseeing trip to Holland.' Mr. and Mrs. Adrien Pufpaff are proud to an­ nounce the arrival of a great­ grandson on Wednesday, September 1. The eight and one-half pound baby was born at Raleigh, North Carolina, to Donna and Michael Keeler. (She’s the daughter of former local resident Clifton Pufpaff.) The young lad has been named Jeremy Michael. Last Tuesday evening, a group of senior citizens from the Nashville Nutrition Site enjoyed a tasty potluck supper at the home of Rev. and Mrs. E. F. Rhoades, former local residents who now live at Bristol Lake. There were about 40 present for the event. After the meal, entertainment was furnished by “Elijah”, a gospel group from the Hastings area. Comprising the trio are Pastor Steven Reid, Ed Englerth and Wayne Thomas. The latter also brought along his son, David, 8, who sang for the seniors, many of whom also joined in on sing-alongs. The outing proved to be very pleasant for everyone. Recent Saturday callers on Mr. and Mrs. Clarence Reid of Nashville were her parents, Vere and Olive Robinson of Bellevue. Wednesday, the Clarence Reids took their grand­ daughter, Jennifer Reid, and her mother, Mona Reid, to Battle Creek and all enjoyed dinner at Bill Knapp’s in honor of Clarence’s bir­ thday.

Author’s note: This writer recently responded to a request from the Nashville (Tenn.) Banner for current and historical date on our village to be used in a story about all of the Nashvilles in the USA. Quiet coin­ cidentally, while preparing our response, we ran across a June 13, 1935, issue of The Nashville News which proved that this is. not the first time such a story has appeared in the Banner. In 1935 local druggist Von W. Furniss was the one to an­ swer the request. Our Nash­ ville got double publicity that week, some 47 years ago, as it was also the topic of a 5­ minute broadcast on WKZO, Kalamazoo radio station, with Nashville News publisher W. St. Clair Gloster speaking on behalf of our village. For the en­ joyment of present-day readers we reprint portions of what those early reports had to say about our town, as recorded by The News of that day. “Nashville and The Nash­ ville News have had much publicity in recent days, a picturization and short write-up in a front page feature story of ‘Nashvilles, All Fifteen of Them,’ in the 16-page magazine section of the Nashville (Tennessee) Banner of Sunday morning, June 2, 1935, and the radio broadcast of Saturday, June 8, by Publisher Gloster of The News over WKZO, Kalamazoo, in the‘Know Your Town’ series. “KenKimbel, writer of the Banner feature story, had contacted someone in the various Nashvilles — Von W. Furniss for instance in this Nashville — and this local, contact resulted in a 10x5% inch illustration styled by Mr. Kimbel as of ‘the metropolitan district, showing the tallest buildings of Nashville, Mcihigan, to head his article, and this: ‘Nashville, Mich.; 1249, in Barry County, is forty-four miles southeast of Grand Rapids, and while Grand Rapids is famous for fur­ niture, Nashville has a table factory. This Nashville is on Apple Creek (Thornapple River by another name evidently) and the Michigan Central Railroad. Von W. Furniss, Nashville druggist says, “We have fine roads, lakes and river, fine fishing. There is a weekly newspaper called The News”.’ “The view (photo used in PANCAKES and SAUSAGE Sponsored by the ... Maple Valley Band Boosters SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 18 ... at the... Nashville Fire Barn 7:00 A.M. to 6:00 P.M. story) begins with C. T. Munros store and continues on south to and including the Wenger location, and a number of automobiles, not stream-lines.” The story went on to say that the other Nashvilles were located in Arkansas, Georgia, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Missouri, Nebraska, North Carolina, Ohio, Oregon, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin. In a separate report in the same June 13, 1935, issue of The Nashville News, there was a recap of what Publisher Gloster had said about the village on the WKZO broadcast. It follows, in part: “Nashville, Barry County, ouny,secon second largest arges town own in the county nestles in the Thornapple River Valley, with its eastern limit near the Eaton County line. It is located on two trunk line highways, M-14 and M-79, and on the Michigan Central Railroad between Jackson and Grand Rapids; six miles from Thornapple Lake, one of the largest lakes in the county, famous for its fishing and a popular resort. “This attractive village of about 1300 lies in a rich agricultural section always famous for its large production and fine quality of maple syrup and sugar. “It has its industrial side, having a locally owned furniture factory, the Lentz Table Co., which has long been in operation, formerly shiping annually many carloads of fine furniture. This concern has carried on through the depression, but with shorter hours and less days. “Nashville has one of the largest and best creameries in the state, the Farmers Co­ Operative Creamery, handling at the present time about 80,000 pounds of milk and cream daily, making the Wolverine brand of butter and other milk products. “The Nashville Co- CLOWNS, FLOATS, HORSES, BANDS, AUTOS & MARCHERS NEEDED! ...for 1982...

Call Kathy Mace...852-1946 It may have been this 1920s scene of Nashville's MAin Street, or one similar to it, that was used in the Nashville, Tenn., news story, according to the description provided in the account published in The Nashville News on June 13, 1935. When this sign was erected at Nashville's outskirts some quarter-century ago, the population of the village had climbed only 125 over the figure reported in June 1935 when the community received dual publicity from a Tennessee newspaper and a Kalamazoo radio station. Both touted the assets of the secondlargest town in Barry County.” According to federal census reports, Nashvilles population has grown from 1,028 in 1880 to 1,620 in 1980. (Photo loaned, courtesy Adolph Douse, Jr.) Operative Elevator Assn., and the Co-Operative Shipping Assn, each do a large annual business. There is also a branch station of the Hirsch Bros. Co. located here, mostly devoted to kraut-making and handling many tons of cabbage. “The village had the first alfalfa mill in the state, that of Asa Strait & Son, which did a large volume of business. The equipment was later removed and the business carried on at the firm’s water-power mill at another location. “We also have one of the most complete lumber yards in the county, that of W. J. Liebhauser, many years in business locally. “There is also a flour mill which makes a fine grade of flour. “And of course one of the finest assets for any com­ munity, large or small, is the home newspaper, than which there is still no better medium for disseminating news and advertising. A daily paper is practically a necessity, but it doesn’t take the place of the home town weekly newspaper. “Our Nashville News has stood for Nashville and community since 1873 and has carried on through prosperity and adversity, has never missed an issue, has changed hands but three times during its publication (1982 note: it is now six times), has striven at all times to give the best possible under the cir­ cumstances. “Nashville has a live Chamber of Commerce, which works constantly for the betterment of the community. Programs of entertainment have been sponsored to bring town and country closer together. “Five active churches, the Methodist, Evangelical, Nazarene, Baptist, and Catholic, care for the spiritual needs. Educationally the village has a 12-grade accredited high school with varied activities, a Smith Hughes and Home Economics school for the past four years, featured with an annual fair. “Fraternally there are Knights of Pythias, Pythian Continued on next page- ★ NOTICE ★ VERMONTVILLE RESIDENTS Hydrants will be flushed Tuesday, Sept. 21, Wednesday, Sept. 22, and Thursday, Sept. 23 beginning at ap­ proximately 8:00 a.m. This may cause TEMPORARY water. discoloration of the Vermontville village council Natalie Gaedert, Clerk Nashville 5,000 METER 3.1 MILE RUN, WALK or CRAWL date, SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 18,1982 RACE TIME: 9:00 A.M.

The 6 ft. 1 inch, 194 pound senior tight-end and linebacker, will be the center of the Lions’ hunt, Coach Dan Watson says. Dunkelberger, a two time all-conference performer in the TCAA, was a pass reception leader on offense and the leading tackler on defense last year. , “A lot ofwhat we do willbe centered around him,” Watson admits. “He is that kind of athlete.” Dunkelberger is the only two-way starter that returns for the Lions, but two others on offense and four on defense lend some ex­ perience. Randy Joostberns, a senior quarterback, is one of the returners, and the man hiking him the ball, senior center Bill Wilson, is back for his third year as a starter. A pair of ends, seniors Wes Wood and Tony Reid, join Dunkelberger as returners on defense. Jim Yost, a senior returns at tackle, and Dan Keech, a returning senior cornerback rounds out the Lion experience. Watson thinks the defense will be the team’s strength. “We are going to be hit­ ters,” he says. The Lions will be running a five man front on their defense this year, adding a nose guard position. Chris Barton, a junior, will man the new nose spot on defense. Yost will be one of the tackles and Rob Franks, a junior will be the other. Wood and Reid will man the ends , again,' and Dunkelberger and junior Dale Montague will be the linebackers. Behind them, Ron Hull will join Keech at the corners and Joostberns and Marty Martin will be the deep backs. Stacking up around Wilson on the offensive line will be Head Coach Dan Watson and assistant coach Steve McDonald keep watchful eyes on the Lions squad.

Dennis Gardner and Pete Koetje will share the split­ end spot. Joining Joostberns in the back field will be halfbacks Wood and Barton, and flanker Martin. “If we can just stay healthy, we can have a very good season,” Watson says. “Depth is my biggest worry.” • Watsoj^looks for Pennfield to be the team to beat in the SMAA. Other members of the league are Bellevue, Bronson, Olivet, Pennfield, Tony Dunkelberger is back at Maple Valley. The allconference tight-end will be a vital part of the Lion attack this year. �The Maple Valley News, Nashville, Tuesday, September 7, 1982 — Page 7 Maple Valley begins play in the S.M.A.A.

Clemens, Michigan, the son of Alvin and Chole (Hall) VanHorn. In August 1905 he married Fannie Vermuelen and she preceded him in death in 1958. In June 1959, he married the former Mrs. Christina (Brown) Snow of Nashville, who survives. Also surviving are three daughters, Mrs. Leona M.

The Humanities Program is sponsored by the National Council on Aging and South­ central Michigan Commission on Aging, and is funded by the National Endowment for he Humanities. Area residents participating in the program were Mabel Keller, Frances Shurlow, Elizabeth Martin, Beatrice Pino, Ruth Davis, Pearl Potter, Arloa Newton, Charles Hobbs, Dottie Wickland, Anne Hoik and Chet and Cecil Arehart. Mary Hinds of Shelbyville served as the group’s discussion leader. The group met at the center each Tuesday at 10 a.m. “We all hated to see it end,” said Mrs. Hinds, “but we’ll be starting another unit in a few weeks and we hope to have more area seniors join us. It was a delightful eight weeks.” Several members of the class visited the Bernard Museum in Prairieville on August 3.

Compact soil problems are on the increase in Michigan Visual symptoms of ex­ cessively compact soil are seemingly observed with increasing frequency. There are at least two reasons for this. One, many farm ad­ visors now know and un­ derstand the basics of diagnosing by visual means symptoms of excessively compact soil and two, the problem is actually in­ creasing in magnitude for at least four reasons. (1) The overuse of a tandom disk is a major problem. The disk has a relatively low horsepower requirement for moving soil materials, but it is probably the best packing tool ever Local youths win awards in state 4-H Dairy show ' ® **. » Wickland described how it was 42 years ago when her first child was born there. On August 17, the group met at Mrs. Hinds’ Gun Lake home for their meeting and lunch. Later they presented Mrs. Hinds with a poem of appreciation written on behalf of the class by a very talented group member, 88year-young Elizabeth Martin. “Imagine — my own poem.” Mrs. Hinds two third places in the Jersey classes, Doug Pen­ nington of Charlotte placed fourth in dairy showman­ ship, while Dennis Pen­ nington took a ninth in showmanship, and Lisa Locke of Charlotte received second place in the junior division “Speak Up For Milk” contest. Other Eaton County 4H’ers who participated in various contests included Chris Langmaack, Amy Langmaack, Brenda Harris, Doug Roiter, Annette Roiter and Gary Wells, all from Charlotte; Angie Piepkow, Tara Piepkow and Don Walters from Olivet; and Amy Geisenhaver from Potterville.

The use of super large disk as primary tillage implements does not solve the compact soil problem. Most frequently - it simply in­ creases the depth to the excessively compact soil material. (2)Field equipment is getting bigger and heavier. To compensate for this manufacturers have used balloon tires, dual wheels or even triplewheels so that the equipment is more adap­ table to the extremes in variable oil conditions. The newer, heavier equipment is used on an increased numberof acres, some of which are wet-much to wet to have been worked with older equipment. The large tires and dual wheels do not compact the soil as deeply as did the older equipment, but they pack many more square feet per acre. (3) Fewer farmers today use rotations that include a sod of cover crop. Hay crops usually result in less tillage per rotation and in fewer clean tilled crops. The large root systems characteristic of some sod crops add organic matter to the soil. In addition the fibrous roots act as binding agents in stablizing soil structure. (4) The last reason listed here is that many crops respond to early planting. This results in increased opportunities of working excessively wet soils in at least part of a field if not in the entire field. Humanities program starting at Commission on Aging in Hastings An eight-week series of discussions under the Senior Center Humanities Program, concentrating on America and the land, history and literature of America, starting with Plymouth Colony, will begin September 21 from 10 a.m. to 11:45 a.m. The classes will be held each Tuesday at the Barry County Commission on Aging, 120 N. Michigan Avenue. Sponsored by the National Council on the Aging with funds provided by a grant from the National En­ dowment for the Humanities, the program is designed to enrich the lives of older Americans through involvement in literature and history. Other titles in the series are Exploring Local History, Images of Aging in Literature, A Family Album. Over the past years, more than 33,000 Americans of many backgrounds have enrolled in the Senior Center Humanities Program. r »me 400 senior centers, ni.rs.ig homes, day care centers and other agencies serving the older population in 46 states are participating in the program. Many seniors in the program have beep in­ spired to undertake creative writing, dramatic presen­ tations and oral histories. 538 Sherman, Nashville .★ Stripping * ^^'mishing * ®ePa*r * Regluing Hours: 10-5 Mon., Tues., Thurs., Fri., 9-1 Saturday Closed on Wednesday Stuart and Elaine Southworth, Owners Phone (517) 852-0943 I 11 MW- ------ >*V W VALUABLE COUPON $W2 °° vOrF F ■ any pair of Foster Grant SUNGLASSES MUMj CLIP & SAVE VALUABLE COUPON Leg Stockings 50‘ COUPON Action-Ads on any pair in stock.

The Maple Valley News Propagate roses from cuttings— by Allen Krizek, County Ext. Director Free additions to your rose garden are as close to you as your pruning shears. Michigan State University horticulturists explain that most roses can readily be propagated from cuttings. Whether you’re preserving an old variety that’s no longer commercially available or simply saving a few dollars by growing your own plants, cuttings should do the job. Softwood cuttings are taken in late .summer; hardwood cuttings, in the fall. In either case, all cut­ tings taken may not form roots, so take more than you think you need.. Take softwood cuttings after the flowers have fallen. Then take 6 to 8-inch cuttings from the stems. Remove all the leaves except one or two at the tip and plant the cuttings with half their length below the soil surface. Water thoroughly and cover each one with a glass jar. Leave the jars over the cuttings all winter. In the spring, remove them. Take hardwood cuttings in the fall after the shoots are very firm. Remove all the leaves from 8-10 inch- cut­ tings and plant the cuttings in a well protected, sunny place with only the topmost bud of each above the soil surface. After arrival of cold weather,, but before the ground freezes, mulch the cuttings with several inches of straw, wood chips or other such material. Remove mulch after danger of frost is Maple Valley Athletic Boosters BINGO MAPLE VALLEY HIGH SCHOOL CAFETERIA THURSDAYS... 7:00 p.m. Early Birds ... 6:30 p.m. HOMETOWN YOUR FULL SERVICE LUMBER YARD PELIVERING-PLIHNING-ESTimTING-SAVING | Call and Compare...852-O882 In Nashville -1 block East on the tracks *500°° REWARD For any information leading to the arrest and conviction of person or persons who re­ moved or removing down wood of any amount, without written permission from owner Shirley Fox Kaiser, West woods on Hagger Rd., between North of Thornapple Lake Road, South of State Road (North of Nashville).

Fall is in the air and again it is time for Nashville’s annual Harvest Festival, an enduring village tradition since 1906. A talent show at 6:30 p.m. Friday will kick off this year’s two-day affair, Sept. 17-18. The open-air stage show on Maple Street is under the direction of Lowell and Joan McMillon. Midway through the event, at about 7:30 p.m., the identity of Nashville’s 1982 Harvest King and Queen will be revealed. The coronation ceremony will follow. Fourteen royal candidates (seven for each post) are expected to be on hand for the announcement. Final tally of penny votes for the candidates, each sponsored by various local businesses , will be made at noon Friday. Names of winners will be kept secret until the talent show that evening. This is the first year for selection of a Harvest King, and that contest has added a touch of humor to the up­ Elliston will be on hand to coming festivities.

Several residents living in or near the 700 block of Gregg Street were present at the meeting to protest what they called “excessive noise” emitting from a house in the neighborhood. They complained of loud music, automotive racket, obscene language and activities being carried on in the yard of the residence from the hours of midnight to 4 a.m. Police attempts to quiet the disturbances have been futile, they said. The council explained that since the village has no “noise ordinance” the police have “no legal leg to stand on” in curtailing such disturbances. Sgt. Gene Koetje, acting Nashville police chief, said he had consulted the county prosecuting attorney severed times in the past on such cases and “always came away with the same advice: to sue them (offending parties) civilly.” The complainants at Thursday’s meeting said this was not a satisfactory solution, since it would be costly and time-consuming, and might have to be repeated again and again since the property in question is a rental house. Village President John Hughes suggested that the village should enact a “noise ordinance” and asked the ordinance committee to meet with village police this week to consider the matter in consultation with village attorney Richard Wendt. “Writing an ordinance is not a fast job,” cautioned Hughes. “We don’t want to write one that can’t be en­ forced.” Sgt. Koetje explained that in disturbance complaints under present village law, COUNCIL, cont. page 11 Mrs. French is festival 'Grand Marshal' Sena (Gribben) French, Grand Marshal of Nashville's 1982 Harvest Festival s parade, is a native of the village, born in the family's historic home where she nowres ides. Among the special antique pieces which furnish the residence is the rocker in which Mrs. French is seated. It belonged to her paternal grandmother, Mrs. George Gribben. Artwork by Mrs. French, other family members and friends decorate walls of the hom (Maple VAlley News photo by Susan Hinckley) Sena (Gribben) French has been chosen as Grand Marshal of Nashville’s 1982 Harvest Festival parade. Mrs. French is a retired business teacher and real estate broker who was born in 1903 in the family home at 434 S. Main Street, where she still resides. Her parents, the late Ward and Anna (Dowling) Gribben, acquired the home shortly after the turn of the century. Sena grew up in Nashville and graduated from the local high school in 1920. She continued her education at Western Michigan University, earning a bachelor’s degree in business education. She taught school at Tecumseh for two years, then married and moved to Bay City, where she taught school and, later, at the former Bay City Junior College in the field of ac­ counting and economics. In past years, she also has served as a substitute teacher in the Nashville school system. Her husband, the late Col. Gordon M. French, was a reserve officer in the United States Air Force and a veteran of two world wars. He entered military service as a private during World War I and later served in World War II, seeing action at.Iwo Jima. In later years, French taught economics at the junior college in Bay City before working for the Veterans Administration office there. Both he and his wife, who were parents of four daughters, entered the real estate business before moving back to Nashville in 1958, shortly after Sena’s mother died. The Frenches wintered in Arizona and spent summer months in the Gribben family home, built in 1875 by prosperous Nashville lumberman A. W. Olds and now regarded as an excellent example of Italianate Revival architecture of the 1860s-1870s era. The 18-room home featured what is believed to be the first central heating system in Nashville and also the earliest residential in­ door bathroom in the village. Gordon French died in 1965, and the following year his widow, daughter Anne Stark, and grandchildren returned from Arizona to take up permanent residence in the family home. Mrs. Stark, an artist and former teacher in the local school system, is now deceased. Mrs. French’s three other daughters are Sallye McLean of Nashville; Ellen Washington of Dearborn Heights; and Jolada Kittrick, who recently returned to Illinois from Alaska. There are 13 grandchildren and three great - grandchildren. Sena enjoys painting, knitting, crocheting, and working in her yard. She also is a collector ,of antiques which beautifully furnish her historic home. She is involved in work for her church, Emmanuel Episcopal in Hastings, and in her spare time is an avid bridge player, with clubs both in Nashville and Hastings. Mace and Symonds still in lead by Susan Hinckley After the third weekly tally, “Effervescent” Dave Mace continues to lead the field of seven candidates for 1982 Harvest King, reports contest chairperson Susan Corkwell 'after making Friday’s count. Jack Wyant and Dennis. Smith are in second and third places, respectively, separated by only ten cents in collections. Coin votes for the king contestants: bills count against them; and checks may be designated either way by the donor. Mace is sponsored by Mace Pharmacy; Wyant is the candidate of Carl’s Market, and Smith is sponsored by Hecker Agency. In the race for Harvest Queen, Jean Symonds, sponsored by Agnes’ Korner Kitchen, again pulled into the lead in the field of seven. Kathy Wyant, sponsored by Carl’s Market, was in Second place after Friday’s tally, and Dawn Brush, candidate of Bob Jr.’s Ice CONTEST, cont, on page 11 �The Maple Valley News, Nashville, Tuesday, September 14, 1982— Page 2 Nashville News Larry Eberly, the 28-yearold Nashville man who roller skated from Battle Creek to Mackinaw City to join marchers in the traditional Labor Day crossing of the “Big Mack”, rates the 268­ mile trip a success even though he had to abandon his wheels for the final five-mile stint across the span. Authorities would not allow Eberly to skate on the bridge, so he joined the other estimated 35,000 marchers who were bussed to St. Ignace to commence the southbound walk across the bridge. Eberly started his exciting journey Thursday morning at the Youth for Christ headquarters in Battle Creek. He undertook the venture as a fund-raiser for Campus Life, a YFC program for high school youths. Accompanying Eberly on the trip, riding 10speed bikes, were Wayne Curtis and Todd Pontius, both of Nashville. The trio experienced no difficulty with highway traffic on their route along M-66, U.S. 131 and 31, but encountered “really strong head winds” the first couple days of the five-day expedition. The only inclement weather was some rain Sunday near Boyne Falls and early Monday morning, at Petoskey. The young men stayed overnight with families at pe-arranged destinations along the way, except for Sunday when they made only a brief lay-over at an all-night restaurant before beginning the final push to reach the Straits before 7 a.m. Monday. The only exhaustion they ex­ perienced was that final day, and Eberly attributes that to lack of sleep. Curious onlookers, news reporters, and friendly folks who greeted the trio along, the way made the trip very memorable. The only disappointment was reaching the bridge to discover that this year skaters had been banned from the crossing. Other Nashville people making the Labor Day crossing of the Mackinac Bridge included the Jerry Terpenings — their eighth annual jaunt across the span. Jerry, Judy and children Robin, Byron, Renee and Eric, were ac­ companied by Brice Tobias of Nashville; Mrs. Pat Friddle and children Ginger and Brian of Woodland; Don Seess and daughter Kathy of Sunfield; Mrs. Pat Terpening and daughter Jo Ann of Hastings; and Orlando Slack of Battle Creek. Camping near, the Straits for the long weekend, they had time to enjoy several ex­ cursions before Monday’s crossing. They visited friends in St. Ignace, and Saturday took the ferry to Mackinac Island, where they paid a return visit to the historic Stone Cliff Inn, a fabulous mansion built in 1904 on the back trails of the island.

During the month, the Nashville police issued eight moving violation citations, 11 parking tickets, and made six arrests. They assisted Barry County Sheriff’s Dept, officers five times, and gave one assist to Eaton County deputies. Sgt. Koetje also reported that polygraph tests showed three youthful suspects were not involved in a case under investigation. He also told of the assault on a local police officer during the month. The Nashville police cruiser was driven a total of 2,463 miles in August, using 267 gallons of gasoline. Many Nashville people took advantage of the beautiful weekend weather to attend the annual Frontier Days celebration in Charlotte. Among them was Mrs. Bertha Becker who spent the weekend with her son and family, the Dale Dotys of that city. Also gathering there for the oc­ casion were five of the Doty children and their families. Mrs. Veda Shull and Mr. and Mrs. Jerry Guy of Nash­ ville were in Bristol, Indiana Saturday to attend the wedding of Mrs. Shull’s granddaughter, Sonya Guy, to Wayne Nayler of In­ dianapolis. The ceremony was a “garden wedding” staged on the lawn at the home of the bride’s parents, the Kendall Guys. The newlyweds will reside in Valparaiso. Mrs. Ruby Ball of Nash­ ville attended the BallMcKelvey reunion held Sunday at Bud and Bea Gillaspie’s Ponderosa campground in Ver­ montville.

Calling at the Ball home after the gathering were Ruby’s daughter, Mrs. Sanda Hunt, children Debbie and Kathy, and friend Tom Cook of Holt. Other callers were Ruby’s son and family, Mr. and Mrs. Robert Ball and baby of Nashville. A sentimental 5th wedding anniversary celebration was a surprise event Friday evening, September 3 for Jan Cooper of Nashville. Her husband, Paul, secretly arranged for a reenactment of their wedding. Getting Jan appropriately attired and taking her to Nashville Baptist Church on a ruse, Paul was able to completely surprise his wife. When they entered the church, Jan was amazed to find members of their original wedding party waiting for them. She was handed a bridal bouquet and the ceremony commenced, with Rev. Lester De Groot officiating and Mrs. De Groot at the organ rendering the same musical selections From our readers TO THE EDITOR: Can “Bad News” be good news at one and the same time? Sure it can when Bad News is the name of a special softball team. This is good news to fans and admirers but maybe bad news to the opposing team. This team certainly distinguished itself during the past season. It was not only a splendid season of winning ball games but for playing in a sportsmanlike manner, and for the sheer love of the sport. Ours is a day of cynicism where rudeness and un­ sportsman like conduct Irene’s Beauty Shop WGI MB! Family Hair Care Salon 204 N. MAIN, NASHVILLE played at the Cooper’s wedding five years ago. When the ceremony reached the “ring” stage, with Jan wondering how that would be handled without rehearsal, the best man produced a small box containing a diamond ring which Paul presented to his bride. Following the service, members of the wedding party were guests of the Coopers at the Sveden House restaurant in Lansing. Seven lock and key collectors from this area set up displays Saturday af­ ternoon at the home of Nash­ ville locksmith Homer Snow.' Both new and antique items were on display. In addition to viewing each other’s collections, the exhibitors were able to conduct a “swap” session as they exchanged and matched keys and locks. The exhibitors ranged in age from seven to 87. Other in­ terested persons dropped by at the Snow home, and several enjoyed seeing Homer’s collection displayed on the wall of his residence. Ph. 852-9107 nnjlftllf often seems the rule. Rowdy conduct, both spoken and acted out, appears macho to some. It is refreshing to have the sponsor of a team express pleasure in the way the members conduct them­ selves both off and on the field. It is great that the sponsor has the kind of team that warrants such pleasure. Congratulations “Bad News”! You are good news to all of your admiring fans and well wishes. Count me as one of them.

The results were a booming economy, low unemployment and low interest rates. Today, we have the op­ posite - a ruinous economy, high unemployment and interest rates that are too high. Meanwhile, those same public works projects, now more than 35 years old, are in dire need of repairs and nearly one million con­ struction workers across America are looking for jobs. For every $1 billion spent on construction 63,000 jobs are created - 26-,300 in the construction industry and another 36,700 in related fields of employment. These workers pay double dividends.

Other demonstrations highlighting home skills of early settlers will include soapmaking, butter making, cider pressing, sausage stuffing, quilting, candlemaking, and weaving. Frontier ronter traes trades ar arid farm arm chores of a century ago will be depicted with exhibitions of blacksmithing, carpentry, ropemaking, wood sawing and buzzing, com shelling and grinding and milk separating. Some of these tasks will be performed by hand and with the aid of gasoline engines. A beekeeper will show how honey is removed from an actual hive, and an “oldtimer” will be brewing “moonshine” in a still on a hill. Entertainment with an oldfashioned flair will be per­ sonified with dulcimer playing and a square dance demonstration by the Ringo Swingos of Hastings. An old­ time photographer will set­ up shop with a wardrobe of old-fashioned costumes. An arts and crafts exhibit and sale will feature muslin dolls, chimes, wood toys, iron work, candleholders, love knots, dried flowers, oil paintings, wood frames, Christmas ornaments, crocheted items, natural foods, rag rugs, lead alloy castings, hand-crafted cradles, and more.

The Eaton County Historic Commission is restoring this outstanding building, and is completing restoration of the ■courtroom. Don’t miss it! In addition to tours of the building, it will be the site of a great antique show. The Old Washington School — 1868: Now used by the Reorganized Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints, this old school was erected in 1868, and known as the 2nd Ward School. Used as a school until the early 1950’s, the building was purchased by the church in 1952, and is being well maintained by its members. The church will also be the site of a fine display of antique quilts. The England-Boyd Home — 1868: Built in 1868 by Margaret England, this home was purchased by Mrs. Boyd and her late husband Forrest, in 1951, after changing hands many times. Mrs. Boyd now lives in the home with her son Phil, and they have decorated it in the style of Colonial Williamsburg. Phils extensive collections of Flow Blue and Granite Ware accentuate the many antique items through out the house. The Shaw-Higby-Marteris Home — ca. 1855: An outstanding example of the Greek Revival Style, this is one of the finest homes in Charlotte. Built by Alvin Shaw, one of the original settlers in Charlotte, the home remained in the family until 1979. The current owners, Tom and Kathy Martens are undertaking extensive renovation projects. The Butler-Fox-Ranville Home — 1878: Built in 1878 by Jonathon Butler, the home was sold in 1881 to Garry Fox, a local attorney. It was sold again in 1917, after which it had many owners and suffered some structural changes. The house is now being restored by Dave and Laura Ranville who purchased it in 1979. Furnished throughout with antiques, this home reflects the warm country style of decoration. The Snell-Cody Home — ca. 1870: Built circa 1870, and ap­ parently used as a rental property until purchased by Annie Snell in 1890, this home is now owned by Sony and Larry Cody. Originally a very small building, the Cody’s have enlarged and remodeled the house since they purchased it in 1959, making it most attractive both inside and out. The Dolson-Bunker Home — 1879: In 1879, John L. Dolson, founder of the Dolson Automobile Co., built this home in what is now known as the Princess Ann style, and finished the interior with beautiful woodwork. Now owned by Mr. and Mrs. Robert Bunker, it is furnish­ ed with many outstanding antiques, including some items from the R.E. Olds mansion in Lansing, and an oil painting done by Ernest Hemingway’s mother. The Hovey School-Fuller Home — 18651 Our tour now moves to the countryside to the home of Mrs. Harold Fuller. This home, the original Hovey School was built in 1865, and purchased by Mrs. Fuller and her late husband in 1959, after it had been empty for 17 years. Mrs. Fuller was both a pupil and a teacher in this school, and the structure remains much of its school house charm, including the original school bell in the belfry. The Upright-Tennes Home — 1871 and the Country Mill Down the road from the Hovey School, the Tenues' home, built in 1871, by the Upright Family isa large old Italianate style farm house. Retaining much of its original charm, the hodse has also been duplicated in a lovely dollhouse on the scale of 1 inch to 1 foot, which will be on display during the tour. Clarence Upright, the grandson of the original owner was well known for his German prume plus or­ chard, and the story goes that in those days, pick-yourown operations were also popular, with a coffee can on the fence post for pickers to pay for their purchases on the honor system. Today, the Tennes’s run a more sophisticated operation (using wha{ else but an Apple computer), including a U-PIc farm and a cider mill. You will want to pur­ chase donuts, cider,, apples and other products of the fall harvest to take home with you. If more information is desired, write to Historic Charlotte, inc., 416 W.

Bessie Friddle of Nashville recently celebrated a bir­ thday she won’t ever forget! When Bessie observed her 68th birthday on Labor Day, she was the guest of honor at Prairieville’s Old Fashioned Farm Days. Bill Aukerman, organizer of the event “baked” a surprise birthday cake for her and presented the creation just prior to the big Buffalo Chip contest that had gained national media coverage during prepublicity of the event. In honor of the occasion, Bessie’s “cake” consisted of three chips that had been glued together, covered with acrylic resin and decorated with candles and the words “happy birthday.” Bessie decided to attend the event on her birthday when she read an article in the Reminder about Aukerman’s plans to brew a pot of coffee over a fire of burning chips. He said he would dare anyone to drink a cup of that coffee with him. “I called him (Aukerman) and said I’d drink a cup of coffee with him,” said Bessie. Test Kit J EARLY mhome ?

'Shock Troops' fight electr burns Brought to you in co-operation of The Maple Valley News and Vermontville Fire Department- The electrical outlet has to be a fascinating object for the very young child. When Mommy and Daddy stick plugs in them, all the most wonderful things happen...from light to music to television to the family meal. No wonder the fire-wise parent must stay on his or her toes to keep electricity and Junior away from one another! Even a very young child can understand the word “no” and firm discipline when it plays with electrical cords. The toddler’s world is full of electric outlets at about the child’s eye level so that teaching the little one to stay away from electrical cords and outlets is a matter of the highest importance. But even the most con­ cerned parent cannot be everywhere. That’s why another part of keeping the little ones safe from elec­ trical mishap involves prevention...making it more difficult to reach dangerous electricity. Here’s how to make your child more safe from elec­ trical accidents, even when you’re not there to keep out a friendly eye. Begin by reducing the number of extension cords you use. Not only is this a great way to reduce your general risk of electrical fire, but it deprives your child of all those long cords which are so inviting to chew on and tug at Musser Service 106 S.

Finally, remember that children love to imitate their parents. Seeing Mommy and Daddy plugging in all inanner of appliances, the little tykes are eager to plug something in too. Anything.. .screwdrivers, coins, thcSr fingers, you name it. Fortunately your neigh­ borhood hardware store is well supplied with inex­ pensive plastic covers which insert snugly in an unused electrical outlet, covering it completely and frustrating little fingers in their unin­ formed explorations. Pick up a few dozen of these covers. Install them on every usnused electric outlet in your home. Get rid of extension cords. Rearrange your furniture to place commonly used ap­ pliances closer to the wall outlets or consider hiring a licensed electrician to install additional wall outlets. What do you get for all this work? Unfortunately, no reprieve from the labors of parenting—it’s still up to you to teach the children not to play with electricity. You still must keep your eyes on them whenever possible and take away coins, screwdrivers and other potential instruments of deadly mischief. But now you can be more confident that all of your child’s learning about electricity will come from you rather than from “shocking” experiences with independent study.

It was Up! Up! and Away! with helium-filled balloons at Nashville Assembly of God shortly after noon Sunday, September 5. The colorful ascension under beautiful sunny skies was part of a national Rally Day for Assembly of God Sunday Schools across the USA. Inside the balloons sent aloft at the local church were slips of paper containing the name, address and phone number of Nashville Assembly of God, and asking the finder to get in touch. Communications between the churches on a national level will eventually determine which Assembly of God had the balloon traveling the farthest distance, says Rev. Robert Taylor of the local church. Approximately 150 balloons were released here in the Rally Day event, under the direction of Sunday School Superin­ tendent Tom Goodmen. * NOTICE ★ VERMONTVILLE RESIDENTS Hydrants will be flushed Tuesday, Sept. 21, Wednesday, Sept. 22, and Thursday, Sept. 23 beginning at ap­ proximately 8:00 a.m. This may cause TEMPORARY water. discoloration of Vermontville village council _________ Natalie Gaedert, Clerk Can You Sing, Dance or Strum?

In other business Thur­ sday, the council: — Adopted a resolution of village policy for collection of delinquent water and sewer charges, which calls for action in Small Claims Court. A property owner who is 30 days or more delinquent will be notified by certified mail to make satisfactory arrangements for payment. Failure to do so will result in the village treasurer bringing the account to the council for authorization of legal action, which will be published in the newspaper as part of the council minutes.

The contract had been approved 41-28 by the Maple Valley teachers that Monday afternoon. The contract covers the period July 1, 1982 through June 30, 1984. In the new agreement, the salary schedule for the 1982­ 83 school year is the same as the 1981-82 school year with an allowance for step in­ crements as listed in the contract. In the school year 1983-84 there will be an in­ crease of five percent on the bachelor’s degree begining base schedule. The extra-curricular schedule covering such activities as athletics, band, and driver education remain the same as this past school year.

The total cost of this program estimated at $11,010, including driver salary, will be reimbursed to the school district by Eaton Intermediate special education program. Regular bus driver contracts were approved for Phyllis Trumble and Dennis Cranson. The board approved an operational millage levy for 1982 with a total operational millage of 25.01 mills which is the same amount of mills as levied in 1981. This represents a total operational levy of $1,426,061.17. The debt retirement levy was set at 1.20 mills representing $68,185.21. The debt millage levy last year was 1.25 mills. Special education coor­ dinator Bill Christensen presented the enrollments in the various special education rooms. Considering the current enrollments at the Jr.-Sr. High School, general consensus was that can­ didates should be in­ terviewed and an additional special education classroom teacher be employed at the Jr.-Sr. High School. The board approved a resolution requiring that all students in grades 9-12 enroll in at least enough credits to meet the requirement to qualify as a full time membership state aid student effective in 1983-84. Approval was given the acceptance of the Michigan National Bank offer to loan Maple Valley Schools $525,000 at an interest rate of 9.45 percent (70 percent of the prime rate). The money will be obtained as necessary in partial amounts with the amount to be borrowed September 16 being $110,000. The amount and dates of future borrowings will depend upon future state aid payments. A general discussion was held regarding a state in­ spection of the Kellogg Elementary School elec­ trical system. It was agreed that the alarm system should be checked as soon as possible with consideration for further electrical work to be considered.

The rest was given through public donations. More help is still needed to reach the goal. Contributions may be made at the library or to Mrs. Nita Brown, Putnam Public Library Board treasurer, P.O. Box K, Nash­ ville, MI. 49073. Receipts will be issued for all direct donations. Unless anonymity is requested, names of all donors will be listed each week in the Maple Valley News.

They loaded the back of the crane with concrete to offset the weight of the beams.” Howell remembers that the steel cofferdams were driven into the river bed by using the crane as a pile * driver.

It’s no accident that the theme of this year’s farm safety week is “Make It A Safe Harvest”. During the corn harvest period, ac­ cidents occur frequently. Safety should, of course, be a daily, year-round concern of everyone who farms. Farm Safety Week, Sept. 19-25, just gives us a special reason for discussing safe farming practices and finding ways to improve them.. During corn harvest, accidents tend to happen in the field, in and around the silo, on the highway and in the grain bin. The first step in avoiding harvest problems is to reread the operator’s manuel manuel on equipment you’ll be using.

Then make sure equipment is properly adjusted and all guards and shields are in place. In the field, shut off the power take-off and engine, then lock brakes before getting down and making adjustments. En­ forcing a “no-riders” rule is another good habit to get into. To prevent silo poisoning, treat every silo during the first three weeks after filling as if it contained nitrogen dioxide — silo gas — at toxic levels. Run the blower for 20 minutes before entering a filled silo. Better to take extra precautions than to get careless and suffer lung damage. Anyone entering a silo for any reason should be secured to a safety rope, with at least two other people standing by: one to hold the rope and another to go for help in case of trouble.

September 21,1982— Page 4 A pictorial review of festivals past (Author’s Note: In September 1979, and again in 1980, Memories of the Past featured accounts of the successful planning and execution of Nashville's very first Harvest Festival. That two-day event held August 31 and September 1, 1906, was filled with the excitement of balloon ascensions, sports contest, band con­ certs, parades and fireworks. Its success inspired a village tradition now marking the 76th year. Since the story of Nashville's early Harvest Festival celebrations is best told in pictures, we will limit this year's rerun, as we did last year, to photos and captions.) Bands were an integral part of early Harvest Festival parades. Outsiders often were invited to participate, but none was so loved l or admired by Nashville residents as the hometown bond of Hi Walrath. Before the day of high school bands, Walrath's musicians supplied music for almost all social events in the village. Lounging on the schoolhouse lawn in this about-1908 photo are several members of Waltrath's band and their friends. From left: Elton Clifford, Edwin Kane, Ab" Mason, Bill Ackett, Kent Nelson, Frank Purchis, Carl Lentz, Tom Copeland, Herbie Walrath, and Guy Hummel. Nashville always has loved a parade. The 1911 Harvest Festival featured a gala parade each day of the 2-day event, and it was made up of no less than 27 colorful floats. Utility pole in foreground is at corner of Main and Maple. Merchant's names visible on closed awnings across street are Von W. Furniss drug store; Kleinhans clothing; and Glasgow hardware..

September 21, 1982 — Page 12 Valley defeats Lake view 24-6 Maple Valley’s varsity football team showed a remarkable ability to play in the rain last Friday, rolling up 411 yards of total offense in the steady rain. Meanwhile, the defense limited Lakeview to just 57 yards rushing and 66 yards passing to give Maple Valley a 24-6 victory over last year’s TCAA league Champions. Maple Valley took the opening kickoffand marched 62 yards behind the hard running of Chris Barton and Tony Reid. Tony Dunkelburger scored the touchdown on a 15 yard pass from Randy Joostberns and the Lions had the lead for good. Maple Valley’s offensive line of Pete Koetje and Dunkelburger at end; Bill Wilson and Wes Wood at tackle; Rob Franks and Dale Montague at guard; and Pat Ressinger at center did an excellent job of opening holes for the runners and protecting the quarterback on pass plays,- not only on this opening drive but throughout the night. Maple Valley’s next possession lasted only one play, resulting in a fumble, Southern Michigan Athletic Association Football Standings: Olivet, 1-0; Pennfield, 1-0; St. Phillip, 1-0; Maple Valley, 0-0; Springfield, 0-1; Bellevue, 0-1; and Bronson, 0-1.

Lakeview punted to the Maple Valley 19 yard line and Maple Valley quickly marched the lenghth of the field in 9 plays, for their second score. Tony Dunkelburger caught 4 passes for 71 yards in the drive including the touch­ down toss of 32 yards. The half ended with the score MV 12, Lakeview 0. Lakeview did not have a first down in the first half due to the out­ standing defensive play of Randy Joostberns, Marty Martin, Dale Montague, Tony Dunkelburger, Scott Whitmore, Dan Keech, Ron Hull, Tony Reid, John Clements, Pete Koetje, Wes Wood, Jim Yost, Rob Franks, and Bill Wilson. Maple Valley opened the second half where they left off in the first by stopping Lakeview in 3 plays. Following Lakeview’s punt, Maple Valley marched 54 yards in 11 plays to score. Randy Joostberns scored on a quarterback sneak from 3 yards and the Lions had an 18-0 lead. Lakeview then sustained their only drive of the night going 59 yards in 9 plays to score. Maple Valley con­ tinued to move the ball while holding Lakeview and Tony Reid scored the final Lion touch down with just 3 minutesd remaining when he raced 43 yards for the score. Scott Everett then suc­ cessfully executed an onside kick to keep the ball in the Lion’s possession to end the game at MV 24, Lakeview, 6. Tony Reid had an out­ standing night rushing with 140 yards in 18 attempts. Chris Baiton had 34 yards in 9 attempts, and Marty Martin added 56 yards on 5 attempts as the Lions rushed for 280 yards.

The charge, jumped from $22 to $50, applies only to tenants, not property owners. The new rate is effective October 1. The security fee is held by the village to insure final payment of water and sewer bills .and is refunded to depositors who move out with their accounts in good standing. In the case of property owners defaulting on water and sewer bills, delinquent amounts can be added by the council to village taxes assessed against the property. Trustee George Frith said Thursday that after checking with the village attorney, he determined that the $50 deposit may be held without time limitation and without paying interest on the deposit when it is returned to the customer. The council voted unanimously to increase the service deposit — an ad­ ditional move to tighten their policy for collection of delinquent water and sewer charges. An ordinance adopted September 9 by the council calls for action in Small Claims Court, following certain preliminary procedures, to collect accounts 30 or more days in arrears. Council members earlier had said that action would not be taken against customers who were making an honest effort to pay off the delinquency. Frith, however, explained Thursday that in the opinion of the village attorney that effort should constitute payment of the current month’s bill plus some amount on the deliquent balance. Village officials expressed confidence that the new policy will eliminate the current situation of deliquent customers paying as little as $5 per month on account in an attempt to avoid turn-off of service. They said water service will be shut off to patrons not meeting this criteria. In other business Thur­ sday, the council: — Heard a progress report from Bruce Kuffer, regional consultant with the engineering firm of Williams & Works, on the construction of Nashville’s sewer rehabilitation project which is expected to commence the last week of September and be completed in 90 days. Genesis Developers of Kalamazoo has the $90,283 contract to rehabilitate certain collection lines in the village to cut down on in­ filtration and inflow of rain and ground waters into the sanitary sewer system. The project will be paid for by a local bond issue of the Farmers Home Ad­ ministration funds as a second phase of Nashville’s recently completed $4.8 million sewer expansion, which was more than 80 percent funded by state and federal grants. — Approved appointment by Village President John Hughes of Thomas Taylor as Nashville’s new Zoning Administrator to fill the vacancy created when Hughes recently relieved Rick Ross of those duties. — Approved purchase of a hydraulic boring device, at the estimated cost of $2,100 for use by the Dept, of Public Works in laying water lines under paved streets. The council expressed the opinion that money saved in tearing up and repaving village streets would more than offset the cost of the equipment. — Discussed a request by the Zoning Board of Appeals that the council take action against a Reed Street COUNCIL, continued on page 5 Four fire departments aid in Nashville water testing Back in February 1874 a raging nighttime fire destroyed much of Nash­ ville’s business district. That tragedy sparked the even­ tual formation in May, 1882 of a trained and equipped volunteer fire department. Today the concern of bat­ tling a potential Main Street blaze is still a top priority with local firefighters.' Sunday, in a training session on the old ball diamond west of Main Street, Nashville firemen with the aid of four other Barry County departments tested the strength of their water relay capabilities.. “We wanted to learn how many lines it would take to supply water from the (Thornapple) river in the event of a Main Street fire,” said Nashville Fire Chief Doug Yarger. He explained that during Sunday’s test, they first tried three 3-inch lines but couldn’t reach the required pressure. Then they dropped to two 3-inch lines — a length still sufficient to reach Main Street — and attained the necessary water powet needed to successfully combat a business district fire. That requires pumping 1,500 gallons per minute, noted Yarger. Participating in Sunday’s test in addition to local firefighters were men and equipment from four other departments: Hastings, Middleville, Delton, and FIRE, continued on page 5 Nashville firemen and volunteer firefighters and equipment from four other departments in Barry County took part in a Sunday morning training session to test water relay capabilities needed to combat a major business district fire by drawing on the Thornapple River.

September 28, 1982 — Poge2 Nashville News By Susan Hinckley * buying them now as early Christmas gifts. The book, published last year as a fund­ raiser by the FOL, contains close to 300 recipes by Nash­ ville’s best cooks. Each entry is identified with the name of the contributor. The cookbook sells for $3.50 a copy, or three books for $10. The first issue was a sell-out success, so the FOL ordered a second printing to meet the demand. Be sure to pick up your copy soon. The most recent con­ tributions to the Putnam Public Library Building Fund to add a proposed $50,000 Children’s Room to the present facility came from Dick and Joan Spitzer in memory of Marcus Shapley; from Betty Woods in memory of Frieda Schulze Trim; and from the Nash­ ville Woman’s Literary Club. Unless anonymity is requested, names of all donors will be listed each week in the Maple Valley News. Names of all donors also will be inscribed on plaques to be permanently displayed in the new ad­ dition. Names of persons designated in memorials also will be listed on a special scroll. Contributions may be made at the library or to Mrs. Nita Brown, Putnam Public Library Board treasurer, P.O. Box K, Nashville, MI 49073. Receipts will be issued for all direct donations. Services were held Friday in Hastings for Frieda October is National Library Month, and in recognition of that, the local Friends of the Library are planning several events to mark the occasion. Although dates have not yet been set, the FOL will conduct two open houses at Putnam Public Library: one for adults, another for children. The youngsters, like the grown-ups, will enjoy a guided tour of the facility but the younger set also will be treated to a story hour. The children will play a major role in another event slated by the FOL in celebration of National Library Month. Again this year, youngsters in local elementary schools will be asked to design book­ marks in a contest which offers special prizes. Another event, still in the planning stage, will be a “coupon clippers” meeting at Putnam Public Library. The FOL hopes to arrange for the appearance of an “expert” couponer who can give tips on the art of saving dollars with cents-off coupons. This event is being scheduled in conjunction with the local celebration of Library Month, explains FOL President Mary Hay, to draw attention to the coupon trading box which is a regular feature at Putnam Public Library. Mrs. Hay also notes that there still is a good supply of the FOL cookbooks for sale at the library, and she en­ courages readers to consider Although at time of death the spirit departs the un­ needed body, it is only natural for -the bereaved family to revere the body as the symbol of the departed. St. Augustine, centuries ago, said that the body is the instrument of the soul in the performance of good works and it is thus proper to pay respect to the body and treat it with reverence.

The Pen­ nocks, Mrs. Haroff and sons stayed for the weekend at Markle, Indiana, at the home of'the Earl Pennock’s son Donald and his wife. Also present for the gathering was Don’s son, Scott, of Butler, Indiana, and Mrs. Don Pennock’s parents. Sunday, Howard and Leona Van Delic of Dowling called on her aunt, Mrs. Nellie Moon of Nashville. Accompanying the Van Delics was Mrs. Lillian Leinaar, who resides with them. Harvest Festival visitors of Mrs. Alice Keihl of Nash­ ville were Dr. and Mrs. James Arnold of Central Lake, who lived here about 18 years ago. At that time, Arnold, who is now a medical doctor, was a science teacher in the local school system. Some time after leaving Nashville, the Ar­ nolds returned to her native land, Germany, and resided there a number of years, during which he received his medical training. The Ar­ nolds now have four children, the oldest enrolling last week as a freshman at Michigan State University. In fact, the Arnolds were en route to MSU when they decided to make a side trip to Nashville, not realizing that the village was in the midst of the annual festival celebration. A houseguest last week of Mrs. Alice Keihl was Mrs. Robert Bok of Ann Arbor. Margaret Bateman, Reva Schantz, Eava Kalnbach and Hilda Baas were in Delton last Wednesday to attend a meeting of the Barry County Retired School Personnel.

In the BCRSP business meeting, interesting reports were submitted by the legislative committee. Ralph McCullough of Assyria Road, Nashville, was the lucky winner of the afghan raffled by the Sam Session Scholarship Fund. The drawing was held Sunday afternoon of Harvest Festival weekend, between softball games. Mrs. William (Isabell) Dean of Nashville was again achieved high recognition for her creativity with dolls. She recently won top honors in a doll-making contest sponsored by the Australian Doll Journal. Mrs. Dean hand-carved an eight-jointed doll standing a foot high, and attired it in a bridal gown. As a character doll, the creation was dubbed “Peggy Stick”. All entries in the Australian contest had to be handcarved. Following her win in that event, Mrs. Dean’s doll is to be sent to England for further competition. As her prize, Mrs. Dean has received an Australian bisque doll, a sleeping babe, created by noted doll artist Ilya Wolffe. Another recent winner in the William Dean home is Bill’s cat, Mr. Meow. The domestic shorthair took a cash prize in a recent drawing sponsored by makers of Meow Mix cat food. An auction is on the agenda for a Tuesday, Oc­ tober 5 meeting of the Nash­ ville Garden Club.

The students, who attend Fuller St. School in Nash­ ville, found out that insects come in all different sizes, shapes, and places. They also learned that some in­ sects are helpful while they worked on collections. Tasting fresh honey from the honeybees was once experience the children enjoyed. Students in Mrs. Long’s class collected Monarch caterpillars and watched them turn into beautiful Monarch butterflies. They were then released so that the butterflies could migrate south. Learning about insects was fun.

Fire wise Signs of life Brought to you in co-operation The Maple Volley News and Vermontville Fire Deportment- They’re so pervasive a part of our environment that we hardly notice them. Yet in a strange building, knowing where they are can be the difference between life and death. No, we’re not discussing ancient Chinese riddles. We’re talking about EXIT signs, those illuminated guardians that can lead us to safety if fire strikes in a hotel, office building or store. Fire-Wise travelers keep an eye out for EXIT signs wherever they go. In a hotel room or office, they know whether the nearest exit lies to their right or left as they leave the door of their area. You can do the same. Just train yourself to note the EXIT sign and its location as you already note the location of drinking fountains, vending machines and elevators. When staying in a hotel, check out the exit more closely. If you can do this without setting off an alarm, open the exit door and follow the stairs to see where they emerge. They should let you off outside. In some municipalities it’s legal for a marked exit to erminate indoors at a lobby or service corridor. If you’re not satisfied with the quality of the exits near your room, you’re within your rights to request another room. In most areas the law requires that EXIT signs be lighted by a power source independent of the building’s fuses or circuit breakers — in other worths, that the exit signs never go out unless all power has been lost. Some municipalities even require battery equipped exit signs which will continue to glow even after power is cut off. So if you see an exit sign that isn’t lighted, something fishy is going on. Whatever town you’re in, call the building or fire inspector ’s office and report it. A related bit of the safety environment of which many people or unaware are emergency lights. They’re those devices which look like automobile headlights mounted atop of a big box. They’re designed to store power in built-in batteries and shed light in the event of a power failure. Different codes set different minimum lifetimes for these units, from half an hour’s emergency light to several hours’ worth. Other clues to a fire-safe building are built-in fire extinguishers, fire hose reels and, in taller buildings, standpipes — piping systems to which fire hoses can be attached on various floors. All these features, along with built-in sprinklers, smoke detectors and heat detectors, help to make commercial structures more or less fire safe. The fire-wise individual considers building features like these when renting a hotel room, when seeking space for a business or when evaluating various offices as desirable pplaces to work.. Building inspectors can’t be everywhere: the biggest impetus to fire-safing buildings is the knowledge that poeple demand it. Fire-Wise is brought to you by the Maple Valley News and Vermontville Fire Department as a public service message. If you have questions about fire safety that are not covered by Fire-Wise, please send them to: Fire-Wise, P.O. Box L, Vermontville, MI 49096.

The trip was a youth group project which involved tracing the roots of Ver­ montville’s original settlers. Sixteen persons made the trip in three vehicles, one of which was the former town ambulance. Along the way, they slept in churches. Youth raked, bake, and did an assortment of odd jobs to raise $750 to help make the pilgrimage possible. A slide presentation of the scenic mountains and historic buildings visited by the group was shown at the meeting by Rev. David Schreuder who helped plan the trip besides accompany them. His wife, Jan, and daughter also were part of the group. Churches once attended by George Washington and the founder of the New York Times were visited by the group. Tour stops included Bennington and East Poultney and a chance to climb Vermont’s mountains which the youth enjoyed. The Vermontville delegation had no trouble finding traces of their town’s forefathers in Vermont. They spotted the familiar name of “Griswold” on a stone. Rev. Schreuder noted that the family was undoubtably related to the Griswold for whom the churches social room is named. Other familiar names also were notice during their tour. And in an East Poultney museum, the youth were excited to find a spinning wheel that had been brought to Vermontville by the early settlers and then taken back to Vermont. The founders of the Ver­ montville Congregational Church had once been members of the oldest Union Church in America and it was noted that the exodus to Vermontville had definitely made an impact on East Poultney because the church did not last. All that remains is a door latch which is now in a museum. The youth definitely want to make another trek back to Vermont...but that has not been decided yet, said Rev. Schreuder. A related topic at last week’s meeting included an interested talk and display of Bennington and other pot- tery by Mrs. Alberta Rockafellar. She noted that the Bennington potters in Vermont had gone out of business in 1896. Historical Society President Martha Zemke said that donations are being accepted to raise money to complete the refurbishing of the second story of the Vermontville Museum. Work that remains in the restoration project includes plaster patching of the ceiling and walls, wall papering, carpeting, and purchasing curtains. Special guests at the meeting were members of the Eaton County Historical Society. A delicious potluck dinner was enjoyed by the large crowd, prior to the program.

Advertisement 4-H fund raising project to be launched A special fund-raising campaign aimed at generating support to un­ derwrite the costs of local and statewide 4-H livestock project opportunities will begin Oct.l, says Nancy D. Thelen, Eaton County 4-H Youth Agent. The campaign will be conducted in cooperation with the Michigan Pork Producers Association, the Michigan 4-H Foundation and 13 Michigan livestock auctions and daily hog markets including the Michigan Livestock Ex­ change at Battle Creek and Portland. “Though the 4-H program receives appropriations from county, state and federal levels, budget cut­ backs make it difficult to continue to teach and train 4­ H members to assume leadership roles in livestock; related industries,” Thelen explains. “Our young people are one of our most im­ portant resources, and we want to insure that they will continue to have the op­ portunity to develop the skills and -interests necessary to prepare them for careers in the livestock industry.” According to Thelen, the idea behind the fund-raising project is a simple one. Area pork producers are en­ couraged to donate the value of a market hog, cull sow or boar during October to the fund-raising project. Producers can donate as many animals as they wish.

Olivet entered the game undefeated with a 2-0 record, but the mighty Lions allowed Olivet only seven plays from scrimmage the first half for zero yards while scoring 17 points themselves. Maple Valley returned the opening kickoff to the 35 yard line and proceeded to march 65 yards in 10 plays for the first score. Tony Reid ran 5 yards for the touchdown in the drive’s shortest run. Reid and Chris Barton alternated carrying the ball behind outstanding blocking by the offensive line in a nice display of power football. Bill Wilson, Dale Mon­ tague, Tony Dunkelburger, Pat Ressiguie, John Granger, Rob Franks, Pete Koetje, and Dennis Gardner all blocked exceptionally well to allow the Maple Valley ball carriers to gain yardage. After three plays and a punt by Olivet, Maple Valley again marched the length of the field for their second touchdown. Randy Joost- bems connected with Tony Dunkelburger on a 15-yard pass for the score. Scott Everett kicked both extra points. Maple Valley’s final possession of the half put the Lions at the 3 yard line with :34 seconds to go and fourth down. Scott Everett booted a perfect field goal and the Lions had a 17-0 lead. Maple Valley’s final touch­ down came in the third quarter on a 57 yard drive in 7 plays. Randy Joostberns ran the ball in from the one yard line for the score. Maple Valley’s offense came on 212 yards rushing and 78 yards passing.

Lee, the son of Mr. and Mrs. Roy Lundquist of 6775 Scott Road in Nashville, took the National Merit Scholarship Qualifying Test in October of his junior year. The outstanding score he’s received qualified him for this honor. In addition to filing an application, Lee must now take the Scholastic Aptitude Test to varify his scores on the National Merit. Suc­ cessful completion of this will confer upon him the honor of being named a National Merit Finalist. Last year, graduate Mark O’Brien successfully pur­ sued the goal and did receive National Merit Finalist Honors. These awards are granted to less than one percent of the college bound seniors. On October 19, Maple Valley will again administer this test to aspiring juniors.

A weekly report from - ERNEST NASH State Representative NEW FISCAL YEAR BEGINS — Fiscal Year 1982-83 begins at midnight, September 30 and will expire at mid­ night September 30,1983. After putting the final touches on the new $4,594.5 million budget, State Senators and State Representatives adjourned until November 9, for the final session of the year. Included in the new budget is a provision that will earmark any revenue surpluses for education and revenue sharing with local units of government-areas hardest hit by current year budget cuts. RURAL CRIME DECREASING — After years of dramatic increase, 1981 showed a drop in rural crime ac­ cording to Michigan State Police. Police officials are giving credit to rural crime prevention efforts on the local level that have made it harder to steal farm equipment and livestock. UNEMPLOYMENT DEBT SOLUTIONS UNVEILED — Governor Milliken has made several recommendations to the State Legislature to retire the nearly $2 billion unem­ ployment compensation debt that Michigan owes the federal government. Included in his plans are: a freeze on the maximum employee benefit ($197-week) until 1986; in­ creasing from 18 weeks to 20 weeks the qualifying period a worker must work before benefits can be received; and allowing new businesses to take a single business tax for any penalties they may have to pay the federal government for the outstanding debt. These and many more recom­ mendations, if approved, would expire as soon as the debt is paid. TRAFFIC FATALITY STATISTICS — The Michigan Department of State Police has released its report on 1981 traffic related fatalities. Statistics showed that occupants in fatal accidents not wearing seat belts totaled 85.8 percent. Those wearing seat belts accounted for 5.4 percent of the deaths, with the remainder unknown. From 1977 to 1981, bicycle deaths increased 2.3 percent, and injuries incrased 7.1 percent. In 1981, 73 percent of the fatalities occurred in rural areas and 73 percent of the injuries occurred in urban areas. In addition, the report stated that between 1979 and 1980, 28 people were killed in snowmobile accidents in Michigan. REGISTER TO VOTE BY MONDAY — Michigan residents over the age of 18 have until the end of the day on Ocober 4 to register to vote for the November 2 General Election. To be eligible, you must have lived in your city or township for 30 days. City and township offices will be open between 8 a.m. and 8 p.m., on Monday, October 4. MICHIGAN RANKS THIRD IN WINE PRODUCTION — Michigan wine production is closing in fast on its closest competitors, California and New York. Increased wine production in Michigan has placed Michigan in third place for 1981. This fall would be the perfect time to visit one of Michigan’s wineries. Most are located in Van Buren, and Berrien Counties in southwestern Michigan and in Leelanau and Grand Traverse Counties in northwestern Michigan. | �the Most Beautiful Da^ of ^our Isife start with thefinest WEDDING STATIONERY choose from our selection of WEDDING INVITATIONS • WEDDING ANNOUNCEMENTS • THANK YOU CARDS • RECEPTION CARDS • NAPKINS • WEDDING MATCHES • ACCESSORIES Sample books may be taken out overnight for selection at your convenience raliiiler Phone 945-9554 Hastings �^pucii/aILs ©(9© SATISFACTION • SELECTION SAVINGS PRICES EFFECTIVE MONDAY, SEPT. 27 THRU SATURDAY, OCT. 2,1982.

Vol. 111 - No. 15 - Tuesday, October 5, 1982 Carl Thrun named 'homecoming grand marshair by Susan Hinckley Carl Thrun, a retired maintenance supervisor at Maple Valley schools, has been chosen as grand marshal of the 1982 MVHS Homecoming parade, set for 6:30 p.m. Friday, October 8. “Lions Sing Opt for Vic­ tory” is the theme of the parade, which commences at Putnam Park in Nashville and terminates at Fuller Street athletic field where the Lions will meet the Rams of Springfield High. Thrun graduated from Vermontville High School in 1937 and was serving on the local school board during the period of the early 1960s when the communities of Nashville and Vermontville consolidated their school systems to" form the Maple Valley district. After graduation from high school, Thrun spent four and one-half years in the U.S. Army, with three years of his military service being at overseas stations. Upon returning home, he married the former Jane Figg and the couple set up housekeeping on a farm two miles east of Vermontville, where they still reside. The Thruns have three children, all graduates of MVHS, and all now married. They are Karen Welcher of Hastings; Kathy McCloud of Charlotte and David Thrun of rural Nashville. Carl and Jane are proud grandparents of three youngsters. “My life in the Ver­ montville area has been very rewarding for me,” commented Thrun, who has long been involved in a variety of services to his community. He has served with the Eaton County Farm Bureau; the Vermontville Township Board, is past president of the Vermontville Maple Syrup Association; a past president and secretary of the Lions Club in Ver­ montville; and has served on the board of the First Congregational Church. All of this activity was in addition to his service on the school board at the time when the new junior-senior high school was being built. For eight years, Thrun drove a school bus for the Maple Valley district, then worked as a custodian before being named head of the maintenance department. He retired in June 1981 after 13 years service with the Maple Valley school system. National 4-H Week emphasizes “pathways to the future 4-H'ers in the Vermontville Jr. Farmers 4-H Club learn a variety of skills through their 4-H projects. Photo supplied “4-H Pathways to the Future” is the theme being used to observe National 4-H Week, October 3-9. The theme reflects the basic mission of 4-H — to help youth become self-directing, productive and contributing members of ^society. 4-H allows many opportunities for personal development as well as social development. It means doing, leading, helping, and taking responsibilities, which all add up to meaningful experiences. 4-H is for everyone, regardless of where they live, what they do, and what their interests are. The 4-H’s... Head, Heart, Hands and Health, point out the main goals of the organization — to help youth gain useful knowledge and skill, develop leadership ability, become a good citizen, and grow as an in­ dividual. 4-H also reaches youth through informal groups, camps, family programs, workshops, trips and special short-term events. Youth enrolled in 4-H choose from a variety of appealing projects keyed to their own interests and needs. They also participate in group and community activities. The whole family can get involved. Parent cooperation, support and participation in 4-H is given high priority. 4-H is youth and adults learning and sharing together. Another goal of the 4-H program is to provide a family-oriented, informal educational adventure for all members, Carl Thrun of Vermontville,, retired head of mainten­ at Maple Valley Schools who has long been involv­ ed in community services, has been chosen as grand marshal of the 1982 MVHS Homecoming parade. ance (Maple Valley News photo by Susan Hinckley) volunteer leaders, and parents. In Eaton County, ap­ proximately 1,250 young people are enrolled in 4-H. There are over 350 adult volunteer leaders and 75 teen leaders working through 64 local clubs. During 1981, over 1,000 Eaton County members participated in arts, crafts, and hobby project areas; 654 had animal projects, 271 were in personal appearance projects; 337 participated in the foods project; and 120 learned more about hor­ ticulture and floriculture projects. Members enrolled in a total of 80 different project areas. In addition, 780 young people were reached with 4-H programs used in their school classroom. Many of the 4-H clubs are presently reorganizing and planning for the 1983 4-H year. You can join 4-H or become a volunteer leader by contacting a local leader or the Cooperative Extension office at 543-2310 or 645-2351. Several interested youth, along with an adult or two, may also start a new club. Vermontville village moves to new office Seen in fr, ont . of .

(Maple Valley News phatd by Susan Hinckley) For the first time in the 146-year history of Ver­ montville, the village clerk is conducting business in quarters owned by the village. In a move last week from rented quarters on South Main Street, the offices of Clerk Natalie Gaedert and the Vermontville-police were established in a new hall located just southeast of the village square park. The 24x36 metal building is a former portable classroom purchased from the Maple Valley school district for $4,700. With installation of a full basement, grading, wiring, plumbing and other work, plus the value of the village-owned lot, coun­ cilman Leonard Aldrich estimates Vermontville’s investment in the new hall at $13,000. Village President Bill Mason gives Aldrich most of the credit for the project. “We should name it Aldrich Hall,” he suggested. The carpeted, two-room facility gives Vermontville’s council a spacious meeting place. For the past several years the council has con­ vened at the Mildred Allen Library in the old opera house Until 1978, when the old Main Street barbershop was established as a hall, Ver­ montville clerks conducted village business out of their homes. The barber ship quarters also housed the police department but was not commodious enough for council meetings. �The Maple Valley News. Nashville, Tuesday. October 5. 1982 — Page 2 Nashville News Can any of our readers top this?, wonders Mrs. Bunny Shaw of Nashville. Recently, while cleaning her basement in preparation for a sale, she ran across two jars of goods she had canned as a young bride some 60 years ago. One was a jar of red peppers put up in 1924 and the other was a can of orange and pear preserves dated just one year after the former Ber­ nice “Bunny” Mead married Clarence Shaw in 1921. At that time, the Shaws lived on a farm outside of Nashville, later moving into the village. Clarence passed away earlier this year, just short of the couple celebrating their 61st wedding an­ niversary. If anyone in our reading audience can top Mrs. Shaw’s record for keeping home-canned goods, let us know. We’d like to share it with others. Kathy Mace, chairperson of Nashville’s 1982 Harvest Festival parade, asked us to express her thanks to everyone who participated in the event and to all of those who helped make it such a success. Your reporter has heard lots of favorable comments about the parade, which this year featured more local floats and entries and relied less heavily on outside “hired” talent than has been the case in the past. Roy Roberts of rural Nashville underwent open heart surgery last week at Ingham Medical Hospital in Lansing and is making a good recovery. The operation involved four by­ passes to the-heart. He is expected to be recuperating at home by the time this appears in print. His many friends wish him a rapid recovery. Village Clerk Susan Cork­ well of Nashville is recovering well from recent surgery at Butterworth Hospital in Grand Rapids and is expected to return home the early part of this week. Services were held Saturday at Vogt Funeral Home for Kenneth “Ted” Mix, a lifelong resident of the Nashville area, who died Wednesday at his home after a lengthy illness. He was 81. Ted retired due to ill health some 25 years ago from the old Oliver Corp, in Battle Creek, where he had worked as a machine repairman. Prior to that, he worked in the same capacity for E. W. Bliss Company in Hastings and for the State Highway Dept. In addition to his wife, the former Vada Hummel of Nashville, he is survived by three sons, Russell, Roger and Richard, seven grand­ children, three great grandchildren, and a niece, Barbara Horton. He was preceded in death by a son, John, in 1925. Former area residents Richard and Darlene Mix of Layton, Utah, who were called home by the death of his father, arrived Friday and plan to spend some time Enjoy the BEAUTIFUL WITH A NEW HAIRCUT & STYLE from... Phone 726*0330 here with his mother. Also traveling from out of state to attend the Mix services were Charles and Gathy-Jlaylock and baby Nicole of Florence, Alabama. She - is the daughter of Mr. a*d Mrs. Russell Mix of Nashville. Mrs. Mary tegel of Nash­ ville, who has been residing a't Sunset AVres- 'frarsing home following a long stay at Pennock Hospital, was able to be out Saturday to attend the Mix services with her husband, Joe. After spending nearly all summer in various hospitals, Mrs. Wilma DeCamp is finally home in Nashville and making progress in her recovery from spinal and abdominal surgeries. Her latest stay commenced July 7 at St. Mary’s in Grand Rapids and ended Sept. 23 when she was released from Pennock Hospital, where she had been transferred for therapy which she is still undergoing as an outpatient. Wilma is getting around with walker and wheelchair at present. Wayne Fuller, a former local resident now of Toledo, Ohio, wrote recently to comment on our Memories story of August 17. “A few issues back you had a good write-up about threshing rigs,” wrote Fuller. “The grain separator (pictured in the article) was a modern one for that time. It had a self-feeder and a fan driven straw delivery. I can remember when a man had to feed the machine and the straw was carried from the machine with a conveyor.” Fuller went on to recall his mother’s uncle, Ed Penfold, who had a outfit for custom threshing in this area. “When they were at our house, I always got the job of building the fire in the engine boiler in the morning,” reminisced Fuller. He further noted that the steering of the engine when it was on the road was “pretty crude.” He remembered one engine that had power steering. “It was all done with a lever,” Fuller wrote, and added that a good many of the engines had canopies overhead. He continued: “A separate machine was used for corn husking, grain threshing, and clover and bean hulling. A number of men in the Nashville area lost hands back in those days when feeding corn stalks with the corn still in place into a corn husker. It was By Susan Hinckley usually cool weather when that work took place and the man doing the feeding... would be wearing gloves. When stalks got in a crossed position over the rolls, a tool was provided to straighten them out. Often, however, the fellow would take the shortcut and reach down with his gloved hand and get caught in the rolls.” Mrs. Brenda Starkweather of Lansing and daughters Teresa and Robin were Saturday visitors of her grandmother, Mrs. Bertha Becker of'Nashville. An auction is on the agenda for a 1:30 p.m. meeting today, October 5, of the Nashville Garden Club at the home of Mrs. Jacqueline Austin. Tea committee is Verna Frederick and Gladys Schantz. Members are to bring items for the auction sale. The Cloverleaf Class of the Nashville United Methodist Church will meet at 1:30 p.m. Thursday, October?, at the Community House. Tea committee for the dessert luncheon bvent is Hazel Morgenthaler and Dessa Handel. Jeff Weiler of Ver­ montville was a Tuesday evening dinner guest of his grandmother, Mrs. Elsie Ramsey of rural Nashville. Wednesday, Mrs. Ramsey and Mrs. Esther Appelman of Nashville enjoyed ^in evening at the Charlotte bowling alley where they watched play by Elsie’s grandson, Jeff Weiler, and her daughter and son-in-law, Claudette and Ted Myers, of Charlotte. That was an extra special event because it was Jeff’s birthday. Mrs. Elizabeth Askins of Nashville, who observed her 82nd birthday on October 1, was surprised one day early with cake and ice cream brought to her home by friends Elsie Ramsey, Arlie Stambaugh, Esther Appelman and Gladys Histed, all of Nashville. Mrs. Doris Wensko and her mother, Mrs. Evangie Miller, both of Algonquin Lake, Hastings, were Sun­ day dinner guests of Mrs. Veda Shull of Nashville. An all-day open house Saturday, October 16, hosted by the Friends of the Library and the Woman’s Literary Club, will help celebrate National Library Month at Putnam Public Library in Nashville. On the 23rd, a repeat event will be staged by the FOL just for youngsters, who, like the adults, will be treated to a tour of the facility. Volun­ teers also will be on hand to read stories to the children. Refreshments will be served at both events, set for the hours between 10 a.m. and 5 p.m. Also scheduled as a special occasion to mark National Library Month is a “coupon clippers” meeting at 7 p.m. Monday, October 25. The public is cordially invited to attend and, if they wish, to bring along coupons for exchange. This event is being planned in connection with National Library Month to draw attention to the coupon trading box which is a regular feature at Putnam Public Library. Betty Pierce and Naomi Taylor, both of Nashville, each lost two pounds in one week to tie for title of top weekly weight loss winner when God’s No-Munch Bunch met Monday for their weigh-in at Nashville Baptist Church. Pat Friddle of Woodland was top weight loss winner for the month of September. Guy Howell, a former ' .a, resident and faithful * aple Valley News reader fro t Tucson, Arizona, our rect t Memories story of the 1937 Nashville Harvest Festivals brought back recollections of days gone by. “I always took a great interest in the festivals when I was (living in Nashville),” wrote Howell. “I especially enjoyed the Memories ar­ ticle (about the 1937 festival). I was there. I think I was working at the (Culp) bakery at the time.” Howell remembered going for an airplane ride at that event. Our story had pictured the plane of local aviator Claude Greenfield who gave rides at xci1 Nashville festivals in the 1920-30S era. He also recalled several of the folks’ names in our story: La Nola Cross Fox, Ward Hynes and Charlotte Cross Hynes. Another type of memory was prompted by a part of our 1937 festival report which told of a fellow arrested for a drunken altercation on Friday night of the III < celebration. “The man who was drunk and fighting Friday night might have •' AUWdjCK been the one who was backed up against bur door on Main Street,” speculated Howell. 3ttitC® “We lived in an upstairs tiee ® apartment pver Greene the lld^1 Tailor’s store and it was a few little while before the of­ ficers could subdue him. It was quite a scrap.” Howell added that he always en­ jf EUX folii. ® joyed the acts done on a stage set up in front of jgulilii Central Park during the festivals. “For some time, my cousin Walt Davis led the band that played for such events and also for th« weekly concerts at Central Park,” noted Howell. The Nashville Baptist Church will conduct an Is nil evening service Tuesday, October 12, at the Lansing Rescue Mission. Froi jliszlSi ntiiU ytMisti ■tails It is only natural that the process of adjusting to the loss of a loved one is called grief therapy.

Again this year, youngsters at the Nashville Christian Academy are selling Lasting Impressions acrylic gift items as a fund­ raiser for the school. Last year in a similar campaign, the students sold $950 worth, to net a profit of $500 for the NCA. The children will be taking orders until next Monday, October 11, the date that all brochures must be turned in. Products are to be delivered in about three weeks, at which time payment will be collected. Each student is eligible to earn Achiever Award prizes for their effort in the sales campaign. Also as a fund-raiser for the Nashville Christian Academy, a Christmas sale of arts and crafts items has been set for November 19 and 20. The event will be held in the Community House of the Nashville United Methodist Church. The latest contributions to the Putnam Public Library Building Fund came from the Ernest L. Appelman family, the Michael Appelman family, and the Farrell Babcock family in memory of Kenneth “Ted” Mix; and from Mrs. Azor Leedy, Mr. and Mrs. Earl Hose, Miss Maxine Leedy, and Mr. and Mrs. Leon Leedy, in memory of Azor Leedy. Unless anonymity is requested, names of all donors to the fund will be listed each week in the Maple Valley News. Names also will be inscribed on plaques to be permanently displayed in the proposed new Children’s Wing ad­ dition. Names of those designated in memorials also will be listed on a special scroll. Contributions may be made at the library or to Mrs. Nita Brown, Putnam Public Library Board treasurer, P.O. Box K, Nashville, MI 49073. Receipts will be issued for all direct donations. Estimated cost of the building project has been set at $50,000. Counting funds allocated from government sources, close to one-quarter of the goal has been reached.

From our readers TO THE EDITOR: As you know, I like to write. Most of all I enjoy writing about people and places and things with which we are all familiar. We need to be reminded of people who have meant so much to all of qur lives. It is on a happy note that we recall hap­ penings in the community that have brought such pleasure and good times to everyone. Then there is the history and heritage of places that may no longer exist but are only part of memory and the past. All of these are cheerful, hopeful and upbeat. It would be a little less than cheerful to write about the economic and social problems that we are con­ fronted with. These are very real and people have a genuine concern. They may be with us for some time and all of the political promises presently floating around the nation will not change them very much. It will take time and a return to the values that this wonderful nation was founded upon before there is a complete change. But change it will because of the faithand basic goodness that is a vital partofour heritage. It will take caring and sharing and less emphasis on pressure groups. It will happen when we come face to face again with the fact that we are all Americans and if one group suffers or falls the whole nation weakens and hurts. It will happen because of the in­ domitable spirit of the American people. It will come because millions still hold to the belief that we are a nation of people endowed by God. Lincoln said, “We are the last best hope on earth”. This is still true more than a hundred years later. In the present time of concern, a great many people are presenting a cheerful appearance. People smile and greet each other and let it be known that we care about one another. We help each other, we laugh together, and if the occasion requires we may pray together. These are our great strengths, our reasons for being and our unquen­ chable hope. Edgar Fleetham Over 425 volunteers help ‘to make best better' by Nancy D. Thelen, Ext. 4-H Youth Agent Volunteers are the keys to successful delivery of 4-H programs to youth. Last year 352 4-H volunteer adult leaders and 75 teen leaders assisted 4-H youths throughout Eaton County. The average 4-H volunteer donates 329 hours per year on 4-H efforts, that’s an average value of $1,605 for each of our adult volunteers. Michigan’s 21,000 volunteer 4-H leaders donate more than 28 million dollars worth of time and services to the 4­ H program annually. This figure is four times the 4-Her's plan annual buyers livestock banquet Oct. 9 by Nancy D.

The program will be con­ ducted by 4-H members and the “Harmony Hounds” Barbershop Quartet from Battle Creek will be providing the evening’s entertainment. The “Harmony Hounds” are sponsored by Vigortone Ag Products. Vigortone is the largest exclusive Ooops! We really goofed! Several names were misspelled under the photos with a story in last week’s Maple Valley News about insect collecting at Fuller Street School. The names should have been spelled as Lee Ossenheimer, Levi Shantz, and Andy Robotham. The two photos also were switched during production, causing the identification of the classrooms to be incorrect. And last, but not least, there were several typographical errors in the story including the first sentence which should have said, “What has three parts to its body and six legs?” Hall ■ Roberts wedMellisa Hall of Del Rio, Texas and Gary Roberts of Lindale, Texas, were united in marriage October 10 at their church in Lindale. Mellisa is the daughter of Mrs. Betty and the late Glen Hall of Del Rio. Gary is the son of Mr. and Mrs. Roy Roberts of Nashville. Gary and Mellisa will reside at R1 44J Lindale, Texas, where they are building a home. Mr. and Mrs. Roberts will have a reception for the couple this spring, when they are able to come to Michigan.

Local Vigortone dealers are Dan Cook from Vermontville; Beverly Day of Charlotte; Joseph Mailinowski from Bellevue; and Scott Hansen from Charlotte. The quartet has been organized since 1959, and during the ensuing years has become one of the most active and versatile quartets in the country. They have also performed in contests and abroad. Quartet members are Dick Smith, Dorn Burrill, Roger Lewis and Bud Burrill. The annual banquet is designed to honor and thank all the businesses and in­ dividuals who supported the 4-H and FFA members by purchasing live and carcass large animals at the Eaton County 4-H Fair. The livestock award donators will also be recognized in the program.

There is also substantial involvement and assistance to 4-H programs by resource people, business, industry, agricultural and civic groups. 4-H, America’s largest outof-school program for boys and girls, nine to 19, is the youth program of the Cooperative Extension Service. “4-H Pathways to the Future” is the theme for the 1982 National 4-H Week, October 3-9. This year’s theme reflects the 4-H mission of helping young people become responsible, productive citizens. 4-H. volunteers come from all backgrounds, educational levels and experiences. Teen leaders help other members and the club grow arid develop, while acquiring leadership abilities them­ selves-. The 4-H volunteers invest part of their time, energy, emotions and lives for the benefit of others. Some leaders possess a particular skill or expertise and others volunteer because they like to work with and help youth. They see the 4-H club as a means to teach young people responsibility and expand the member’s interests and abilities. Volunteering provides many opportunities for adults and teens to share skills and help kids. All 4-H’ers salute the 4-H volunteer-without them the 4-H program would not be possible. Following is a list of the 1982 volunteer adult leaders in the Vermontville area. Eaton County Clown Club: Paul Cooper, and Chuck Jensen. Feed Fetchers: Kathy Thompson and Marjean Chapman.

Sept 28 thru Mon Oct 4 1982 �The Maple Valley News, Nashville, Tuesday. October 5, 1982 — Page 4 Nashville remembers gridiron heroes (Author’s Note: A memories of the Past column published in October 1980 traced the birth and growth of high school football in Nashville, commencing with the acquisition in 1899 of the school's first football in the hope of launching a team the following year. This week, a photo review of a few of those early local squads recaps some of the adventure faced by Nashville's pioneering gridiron heroes.) A vary rare old photo of Nashville's 1906 football team shows that the earliest squads may have been more uniformly clad than those of a few years later, who wore a hodge-podge of hand-me-downs. Padding was scant. For kidney protection the boys used horse collar pads. When headgear was available, the helmets were merely felt-lined leather caps. Some boys let their hair grow long during summer to serve as extra padding. Most nailed cleats to soles of standard foot­ wear to fashion football shoes. Except for Walter Scheidt (center, back row) play­ ers in this 1906 photo are unidentified. Coaches are believed to be Principal Rus Rus-­ sell Wightman, left, and Supt. Charles Appleton. Note unusual shape of early football. Nashville's football team traveled to "away" games first by train and later by auto — years before school buses came into existence. The competition generally was scheduled in the afternoon, following classes, since no artificial lighting was available on playing fields. Locally the earliest games were staged at the old Driving Pork north of Thornapple River, along what is now Kellogg Street. Later, Riverside athletic field was developed west of Main Street on land donated by the Charles Putnams and it became the site of all home games. Leading Nashville's successful 1910 team was Captain J. Robert Smith, holding football. Left of Smith are Glenn Giddings, Albert Nesman, Carl Coolbaugh, Ernest Feighner, Lawrence Rentschler, Ray "Bill'' Irland, Sterling Deller, Newt Trautman, Melvin Ehret, Glen Nesman, Orville Mater, Lee Burdick, Edwin Kane, Jack Brumm and George Appelman. In the early days, Charlotte was Nashville's arch-rival in football but was later superseded by Bellevue. Win or lose, the NHS team was always loved by the homefolks who faithfully followed the games. At the end of the season, the team was traditionally treated to a banquet by local merchants. Comprising the 1908 NHS squad were, from left, Elzie Clifford, Ray "Bill" Irland, Orlan Boston, Carl Navue, Glenn Giddings, Walter Scheidt, Clare Hecoox, Sterling Deller, Eltie Clifford, Cliff Kleinhans, Principal Russell Wightman, coach; Vern Hecker, Supt. Charles Appleton, coach. Good luck Maple Valley Lions! -STOP IN AFTER THE GAME- We will be OPEN until MIDNIGHT after each Home Game on FRIDAYS • Homecooked DAILY SPECIALS Different ones each day!

Biggest event of the football season was the traditional Thanksgiving Day game which packed the bleachers (in background) at Riverside field. Sometimes these were alumni-high school all-star contests, such as the 1927 game with proceeds dedicated to Jack V. Downing, a former NHS player who was then a TB sanitarium patient. In this 1914 photo, Downing holds the football. He died at the sanitarium in December 1928. SUNDAY SPECIALS • Swiss Steak .$395 Baked Ham & Yams .$375 Baked Chicken & Rice. $360 113 N.

Her grandson, Kipling, returned with her for his third year at Michigan State University. Several from here, in­ cluding your scribe, enjoyed the 3rd Charlotte Maple City Historical Tour on Saturday: Especially interesting was the England-Boyd home on Foote St., built in 1868 by Margaret England. Sirice 1951, Mrs. Forest.Boyd and son, Phil, have lived there and completely remodeled it in the colonial fetyle. Mrs. Boyd is a sister-in-law of Jennie and Caroline Boyd. Mrs. Frances Snyder helped as a guide in the old Eaton County Courthouse. Proceeds from this tour is the first step in a fund raising campaign to restore the original courthouse built in 1845 and moved from back of a house on North Cochran to a site near the old waterworks dam in Bennett Park. This building is the third oldest surviving courthouse in Michigan. Other very interesting buildings on the tour were the old courthouse where a huge restoration project is underway by the Eaton County Historical Com­ mission, the Snell-Cody home at 311 Prairie, the Dolson-Bunker home where Mr. Dolson and his son had the idea of converting their carriage factory into an automobile factory and the “Dolson Car” originated and was the only automobile ever produced in Charlotte. The Havey School - Fuller home on Vermontville Hwy. where Mrs. Fuller lives and was a pupil there is one of the show places in Eaton County. Of course, the Upright-Tennes and the Country Mill deserves mention as was demon­ strated by the large crowds there. The Justin Buggy Company of Nashville was on hand for free buggy rides. The perfect autumn weather contributed to the enjoyment of the day. Visitors of Miss Esther Shepard last week were Miss Teresa Furlong of Lansing, Mrs. Paula Kimball of Morrison Lake and Leroy and Joe Harvey from Beaverton. Did anyone find a set of car keys in a brown case? Mrs. Ava Kroger is looking for them. — CORRECTION — Metamucil Powder 14 oz. in last week's Mace Pharmacy ad was priced at $2.09.

Across America troops of children will pace into school parking lots, watching firemen rev up their shiny fire engines and watching Sparky the Fire Dog movies. All of this is most laudable...yet, in fire-wise communities Fire Prevention Week can mean so much more than that. Fire Prevention Week offers a prime opportunity for children and adults to review...or perhaps to learn for the first time...specific fire and burn safety behaviors that can save their lives. As food for’thought, let’s consider some of the wor­ thwhile things a grade school Fire Prevention Week could teach youngsters: (1) Stop Drop and Roll techniques to extinguish clothing fires. (2) Planning and prac­ ticing home fire escape. (3) How to escape from a burning building: staying low in smoke, feeling doors before opening them, exiting through windows when necessary. (4) How to report a fire emergency. (5) Soaking minor burns in cool water. (6) The hazards of playing with matches, turning in false alarms, etc. (7) The importance of keeping the house clean and free from oily rags, loose papers and other fire hazards. And these are only a few. How many of these fire-wise, life saving subjects come up in the Fire Prevention Week programs your children see? While we’re at it, let’s lay down some objectives for Fire Prevention Week programs for adults — whether presented at the workplace, the service club or in the media. (1) Dangers of smoking in bed. (2) Safe use of flammable liquids, including hazards of gasoline, its unsuitability as a cleaning fluid, its danger when stored in an automobile trunk, etc. (3) First aid for minor burns and other emergen­ cies. (4) Impotance of smoke detectors and home escape planning. (5) Importance of fire extinguishers in the home. (6) Fire-wise cooking, from keeping full sleeves away from burners to the right way to put out a pan grease fire (by covering with a pan lid—never with water.) (7) Danger of overloading electric circuits, using too many extension cords. If a few of these items resemble the items for kids — especially the ones about smoke detectors and home escape — there’s a reason. These are things that people ofall ages in this country can stand to know more about. How many of these sub­ jects are coverd by Fire Prevention Week activities in your community? If the answer is “not many”, when do you suppose these vital topics are ever discussed? Call your schools and local media and express your support for expanded public education during Fire Prevention Week and all through the year!

The Nashville area par­ ticipants circled the cinder track - at Fuller Street athletic field, chalking up pledge amounts for each mile completed. Some adult entries were allowed to do their biking on area road­ ways, using odometers on their cycles to verify the number of miles completed in the forenoon event. Elsie Wolever, chairperson of the bike-a-thon, expects to have a complete tally of funds raised for St. Jude’s by the end of this week. In a similar event last year, 26 local bikers pedaled a total of 456 miles to raise close to $1,000 for the children’s hospital. The top These are some of the two dozen cyclists who circled the cinder track at Fuller Street athletic field Saturday to chalk up miles to benefit St. Jude Children's Research Hospital in Memphis.

Mrs. Wolever extends 1983 feed grain program approved by Allen P. Krizek, County Ext. Director The following is a brief from USDA on the 1983 Feed Grain Program as approved by Jake Ferris and Jim Hilker, Michigan State University agriculture economists. USDA is asking farmers to cut next spring’s feed grain plantings by 10 p'ercent and said it would pay them for taking another 10 percent reduction. Farmers must put the 20 percent in the reduction program. Secretary of Agriculture Block also said an additional $60 million would be allocated in the next fiscal year to bring USDA funds for storage loan programs to $100 million. Farmers will be eligible for 50 percent of their land diversion money ($1.50 per bushel, of which the farmer received75 cents per bushel) and 50 percent of their ex­ pected deficiency payments immediately upon signing up for the program. The signup begins October 1st. Farmers are being urged to par­ ticipate. Block also said eligible wheat and barley producers will receive all deficiency payments due under the 1982 program “as soon as possible” after December 1st. At the same time, eligible corn, upland cotton, sorghum and rice farmers will receive 70 percent of the 1982 deficiency payments SATURDAY, OCTOBER 9 ;; Browning pines are normal orurn_ng...

This is only part of the healthy evergreen’s natural cycle. According to Allen Krizek, foliage doesn’t change with the season. But, although evergreens retain their needles for a number of years, they don’t last forever. Evergreens grow a new set of needles each spring and drop their oldest set in the fall, during, late August, September and October. The needles that dop are the older interior needles; the young needles nearer the branch tips should remain green and attached. Homeowners can help to insure the health of their evergreens by irrigating this fall before the ground freezes. Krizek indicates without moisture the evergreen trees and shrubs are likely to dry out over the winter resulting in browning of the needles.

October 12, 1982 — Page 4 Early school paper was laced with humor Office of The Informant was on the top floor of Nashville's school which housed grades kindergarten through 12. One of the new reports in the original issue of The Informant in 1931 told how the first fire drill of the school year had emptied the facility in 58 seconds. Built in 1902, this structure replaced an earlier threestory brick lost that same year in a raging nighttime blaze. Exactly 51 years ago today The Informant, the first school paper published at Nashville High School in some forty years, made its debut. Vidian Roe, elected by an overwhelming majority of his fellow students, was editor of the sheet. His staff members, listed in the first issue of October 12, 1931, were Voyle Varney, business manager; Betty Lentz, student advisor; Kenneth Roscoe, sports editor; Phyllis Higdon, music and art editor; Vivian Appelman, news editor; George Wptring Wptring, humor; Patricia McNitt, cNitt, alumni; Anne Maeyens, ad- ministration; Dora Foster, Geraldine Hecker and Merle Scott, reporters; and W. C. Smith, faculty advisor. The office of The In­ formant was located in Room Number 4 on the top floor of the school building which housed Nashville’s students in grades K-12. “Editor Roe, Business Manager Varney, or Student Advisor Lentz will be glad to meet you at any time you may drop around,” advised an announcement in the first edition of the paper. “We will appreciate it greatly if you will call us often to report anything that would be of interest in our work.

The Informant was printed in the office of The Nashville News on Maple Street. In his initial editorial, Roe wrote, in part: “The first school paper in Nashville High School for about two score years goes to press, at this date. With it goes an effort to unite the school in a feeling of school spirit and comradeship. This paper is of the students, by the students and for the students and community of Nashville. This periodical being of and for you, boost it!. “Show yoiir 'spirit, get behind and push! We need your help and all the service you can part with... Fresh­ men, do your best, show your ability; there is good material among you. Buy your paper. Patronize its advertisers and you won’t go wrong... This paper is going to be a success with all the students and the community backing us. We’ll do our part — will you do yours?” In accordance with Roe’s sentiments, published alongside his column were the lyrics of the high school song: “Oh, we are loyal students of the N.H.S., We’re proud of this, You just bet yes...” A variety of news from serious topics to light­ hearted banter filled the eight-page publication. Topping the front page was a headline heralding, “Nash­ ville School Tax Is Cut”. It headed the lead story that local school tax had been slashed nearly fifty percent: “After carefully budgeting the expenses for the present school year, the Board of Education... voted a tax rate for school purposes of nine dollars ($9.00) per thousand.” This was the lowest school tax in eleven years, advised the report. The cut from $17.00 to $9.00, saved the taxpayer $8.60 on every thousand dollars of assessed valuation. The writer further noted that two new depart­ ments agriculture and When The Informant made its debut on October 12, 1931, it was the first school newspaper published at Nashville High in some 40 years. Professionally printed at The Nashville News office, the school paper was supported by well over a dozen local merchants who advertised regular in the 8-page sheet. (Maple Valley News photo by Susan Hinckley) home economics — had been added and equipped at NHS. The additional money received from non-resident tuition, about $1,000 more than in the 1930-31 years, “will more than pay for the additional equipment necessary in the new vocational departments,” predicted the scribe. “Pupils attending school this year have a choice of more subjects that prepare them for life’s work than ever before in the history of Nash­ ville. The increased nonresidential enrollment, 56, is proof that our neighbors appreciate vocational work.” Other front page stories in the first edition of The In­ formant told of Roe’s election as editor; reviewed organization in 1929 of an “entirely new debating team”, pointing to a good 1931 season for NHS; and recounted a recent meeting of the Nashville Chamber of Commerce attended by a school reporter. On Page 3, a column devoted to alumni doings informed readers of present whereabouts of several members of the NHS Class of 1931: “Edna Brumm is pulling down the A’s at Western State this year, majoring in Home Economics... Pauline Bowman’s address is still Nashville, if you are lucky enough to find her at home... Paul Bell was seen down on Main Street Saturday night enjoying a vacation from his agricultural duties... Another one who pursues the pastoral arts is Shorty Baxter... Nig Babcock is keeping time for a con­ struction job in Otsego now... Sandy Mason breezed into town with Nig Saturday night. He has taken up Physical Education at Western State... Marion Snow is working in the shadow of the capitol at Lansing and taking a business course at night school.... Remember Evelyn’s diamond? Itt must have been real because she and Marshall Belson are keeping house on Fountain Street in Grand Rapids.” Other Page 3 news on October 12, 1931 was that in the first fire drill of the new school year, it had taken 28 seconds for the elementary students and 58 seconds for the upper classmen to vacate the building; that the school was to be inspected by the University of Michigan for state accreditation; that a delegation of Informant staff members had attended the recent Battle Creek Cen­ tennial parade; and that NHS teachers had, at the invitation of Miss Mainone, “spent a most delightful weekend at Wolf Lake, pitching quoits, fishing, playing bridge and in general just loafing.” Page 4 carried reports of the junior class, including announcement of an up­ coming Barn Party to be hosted by Mary Wilkes and Edna Rich; told that the freshmen had held a “strictly social meeting” at the home of Mary Feighner; and announced that seniors had started work on their challenge for the annual Junior-Senior Hunt. There also was a humorous report of a fishing venture by teachers Wallace, Van­ deventer and Reed; and news that on the evening of October 7th Mr. and Mrs. Wallace had hosted an in­ formal faculty party honoring the birthday of teacher Greta Bean. On the sports page, there were stories of Nashville High School launching the 193,1 football season with three successive wins without being scored upon. Although it rained on the 25th of September, a good crowd haid turned out to see the NHS team beat Charlotte, 6­ 0, in the first game of the school year. A week later, the NHS squad again held the competition scoreless. “Who, after seeing Nash­ ville defeat Middleville 52 to 0, can still sit back and criticize the team?” queried the reporter. “Nashville showed the old spirit and went in to do or die.

Main — NASHVILLE PHONE:852-9747 �The Maple Valley News, Nashville, Tuesday, October 12, 1982 — Page 5 If you’re old enough to drive, you’re old enough to recall a delightful ordor in the autumn air...a scent that just proves that thing’s aren’t always what they seem. For as much as the smell of burning leaves brought pleasure to those of us who knew it, leaf burning was, in any number of ways, really bad news. Today it’s illegal to burn leaves in most localities. Here’s why a once cherished autumn tradition had to go — and how you can help your fellow man by obeying and helping to enforce leaf burning laws. For starters, leaf burning is a very inefficient form of combustion. The wetness and poor ventilation of a typical leaf pile make for a lack-luster, smoky fire that puts forth a huge variety of partially burned by­ products. In other words, outdoor leaf burning polluted the air something fierce. So the first consideration in Memories of the past- cont. daze and Nashville scored runs on their mistakes.” Seven days later, NHS chalked up another shut-out victory, this time against Bellevue with a score of 40-0, “playing against a team that outweighed them by at least ten pounds per man...” Concluded the writer about the Nashville eleven: “Here is a team that has played good clean football against three opposing teams, one of which is a Class B school. In every game they have been outweighed, but our line has showed the fighting spirit that dominates in any game and which eventually wins against our opponents... Coach Reed, when interviewed by an Informant reporter, stated that he attributed the success to hard work, clean playing, and the fact that the boys were in excellent condition.” Humor was scattered throughout the original issue of The Informant: there was a facetious seven-point checklist of “How To Train For the Football Team”; a tongue-in-cheek “Remember Back When” column; etc. And then there was the account of a pep rally “funeral” held in the school auditorium. “A very solemn ceremony... con­ ducted for the tragic demise of Pep, the most popular member of ithe old N.H.S.” Amidst a host of mourners, Pep was brought into the hushed room, but the feebly breathing corpse was soon revived by an outpouring of old school yells “so dear to his heart.” Family Hair Care Salo Irene’s Beauty Shop N. 852-9107 204 Main Nashville Stanton Real Estate REALTOR' Joe & Marge Andrews Home 852-0712, Office 852-1717 CH-86 - HIGHEST QUALITY throughout this 3 bed­ room brick ranch with completely finished base­ ment, fireplace, attached garage, inground swimming pool, pole barn, 1 V4 acres mature hardwoods, all on 4 acres.

A second ecological consideration is leaves make excellent fertilizer and it’s a shame to see them go up in smoke. Many municipalities offer free leaf pickup service for homeowners who will rake them into neat piles on the curbside, finding that by using the leaves as a source of mulch the city can costeffectively fertilize parks and boulevards. But leaf burning representeda significant fire risk, too. First there was the danger of a sudden gust of wind stirring up the leaf pile and scattering burning leaves all over the neigh­ borhood, touching off house and brush fire. Fire educators spent years badgering the public to confine their leaf burning to covered metal baskets to reduce the risk of this type of fire...but open pile burning went on. Another danger was that a burning leaf pile seldom showed visible flames... it just smoked. To a careless youngster approaching from upwind, it could be hard to distinguish a burning leaf pile from a pile suitable for jumping and playing in.. with occasionally tragic results. So leaf burning is largely a thing of the past in America today. While a bit of Americana has faded away, a source of risk has been eliminated thereby...not a bad tradeoff. So please, don’t burn leaves this autumn. Don’t be be ashamed ashamed to discourage your neighbors who do. A final safety note. As more municipalities require homeowners to rake leaves into large piles at the curb­ side, extra care is required to discourage children from playing in those leaf piles. Now and again a motorist forced to hug the curb will plow into a leaf pile which has spilled into the street. That’s no place for your child to be hiding!

Betz, Ext. Agric. Agent Before the year is over, about 600 farm machinery accidents will have oc­ curred. Forty percent will involve agricultural tractors that tipped over or were struck by highway vehicles. October, characterized by shorter daylight hours and cold and rainy weather, is one of three months in which these types of accidents are most likely to occur. “Under these conditions, when the farm harvest means many farmers are spending long hours on the tractor, making the most of protection afforded by the tractor’s Rollover Protection System (ROPS) is important,” says Howard Doss, MSU Cooperative Extension Service agricultural safety specialist. Most types of agricultural tractors used by employers have been required by federal law since 1976 to ha­ ve a ROPS, because it is about the only effective way to reduce tractor-rollover deaths. Violation of the law not only goes against common sense, but it also makes the owner vulnerable to a possible legal penalty and lawsuit. According to statisitcs, 58 percent of the tractor-related deaths oc­ curred during overturns? Most go over sideways; some go backward. A tractor can tip backward in less than IV2 seconds, faster than most people can realize they are in trouble, let alone react to save themselves. An important feature of the ROPS is the ac­ companying seat belt. In case ofan upset, the seat belt holds the operator within the protective frame where he or she will not be crushed by the tractor. Resistance to using a seat belt is apt to result in determining a person’s ability to survive a crash. Because of the type of work they perform, most tractors have a high center of gravity, which can con­ tribute to instability. The Choice is Clear... Generally, tractor ac­ or cross too steep a slope. cidents occur because the Haste, fatigue, and operator is not responsive to preoccupation with other hazardous conditions. For problems also contribute to instance, he or she may fail tractor accidents. In some to restrict speed according to case, accident victims were field or roadway conditions, not aware of the hazards of pull too heavy a load with too tractor operation. The safe operator un­ light a tractor, turn too tractor sharply at moderate to high derstands the causes of speeds, travel to close to a accidents and takes every road shoulder, or field ditch, precaution to avoid them. Garden cleanup good idea After the last of the fall harvest is in, one more gardening task remains: a fall garden cleanup. Remove diseased plant debris, advises Eaton County Extension Director, Allen Krizek, and plow under other residues. This will reduce the number of overwintering insects and disease organisms and minimize these problems in next year’s garden. Fall plowing also may enable you to get an early start next spring. Insects that may over­ winter in the garden include cucumber and potato beetles, squash bugs and European corn borers. Removing or tilling under plant debris eliminates their overwintering shelter. Winter’s freezing and thawing action will break up the soil. By spring, all you’ll have to do is lightly rake your seedbed before sowing lettuce, spinach, carrots, radishes, onions, and other early crops. As long as you’re turning the soil anyway, take the opportunity to turn under manure, commercial fer­ tilizer, compost or ground up leaves to enrich the soil. Manure spread and turned under now will have rotted enough by next spring to provide valuable plant nutrients. Fall is also a good time to have a soil test run.

Out-of-state sales people are apparently traveling around Michigan with promises of fortunes to be made from worm farming. In the Barry county area, general mailings have been sent out to boxholders making claims of easy profits from growing worms. People who believe those promises may end up with little more than a huge - and expensive - can of worms. Donald Garling, Michigan State University Cooperative Extension Service fisheries management specialist, says similar promotional claims were circulated in Michigan last winter. Then, as now, these claims were largely false. “Sales representatives are implying that there is a large demand for additional fishworm farms in the state. The fact is that the market is already well supplied,” Garling says. “For the most part, the pitch is not true.” Contracts being signed by prospective fishworm growers range from about $2,000 to $6,000. “For this amount of money, the buyer apparently receives instructions on how to grow fishworms and a few boxes of fishworms,” Garling says. “A lot of verbal promises are made about demand and buying the worms back, but these apparently are almost en­ tirely false.” Buyers are being lured by claims that feed processing industries, municipalities and bait distributors are clamoring for worms. “This sort of thing is not new and the only persons to profit by the scheme are the persons selling the con­ tracts,” Garling says. “For the most part, the sport fishing industry is well supplied by established vendors. If there was a boom in bait demand, these vendors could easily expand to supply the market.” The irony of the situation is that the MSU Cooperative Extension Sercice can supply the necessary educational material about growing fishworms free .of charge. “If people were really interested in raising a few worms for their personal use, we can supply the literature and for a few dollars growers can buy their breeding stock and be in business,” Garling says. “Keep in mind that if what is being sold is as good as it’s claimed, the represen­ tative’s company would likely be in retail sales and not trying to peddle the venture,” Garling adds.

Wheat RAP worth consideration by Roger A. Betz, Ext. Ag. Agent Wheat prices are currently very low and prospects for recovery in the near future are slim. Therefore growers would be wise to give careful consideration to the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s 1983 Reduced Acreage Program (RAP). Sign-up for the program begins October 1. The carryover of wheat from this crop year will likely exceed 50 percent of annual use. That, according to James Hilker and John Ferris, Michigan State University agricultural economists, makes the risk of low prices next year great enough that most farmers should take a gook look at the protection RAP offers. Participants must limit wheat acreage planted for harvest to no more than 80 percent of the farm’s wheat base. The cutback in acreage is actually a combination of a 15 percent acreage reduction and a 5 percent paid - land diversion. The diversion will be calculated by multiplying $2.70 times the farm yield times the acres diverted. Participants will be eligible for the regular loan ($3.65, up 10 cents from 1982), the reserve loan ($4.) and the target price ($4.30). The target price less the market price in JuneOctober 1983 will determine the deficiency payment, which can be no greater than 65 cents (target price less the regular loan rate). At the time participants sign-up for the program, they may request an advance payment equal to half the diversion payment and the anticipated deficiency. This amounts to around 30 cents per bushel times the farm wheat yield base. The County Cooperative Extension Service and the ASCS can provide assistance in reviewing the benefits of the RAP.

Maple Valley girls basketball wins first game The Lion girls won their first basketball game of the season Monday night as they defeated visiting league rival Springfield 36-33. It was a hard fought vic­ tory for the Lions who never trailed in the contest. Valley scored the first 6 points on the Rams and then let the visitors back in the contest to hold a slim 9-8 point ad­ vantage at the end of the first quarter. Free throws began to play a big part in the contest starting in the second quarter when 3 of the Ram’s 5 second period points came at the charity stripe. Valley maintained the lead, however, by scoring 8 points to stay ahead 17-13 at the half. The Lions were able to build on their lead in the third quarter to hold a 27-21 advantage, but were feeling pressure from the free throw line again in the final period. Of the Rams’ 12 fourth quarter points, 6 came at the charity stripe. Valley was 1 of 2 for the same quarter. But despite the Rams’ 6 of 10 performance, the Lions held on to take the win 36-33. Tammi Tobias played her best defensive game to date and pulled in 10 rebounds. Jenny Filter netted 12 points and Colleen Hoffman 9 for Valley. The Lions traveled to Bronson on Wednesday for another league contest but again tasted defeat 52-40. Bronson jumped out to a big lead 19-11 in the first quarter and maintained a steady pace. The Lions were able to outscore Bronson in the third quarter 14-12 with the help of senior guard Colleen Hoff­ man who scored 6 of her team's points. Hoffman-hit 4 of 4 from the free-throw line and added a bucket. She tallied 12 points for the night. Bronson was led by Kelly Kurtz who netted 22 points for her squad. Also scoring for Valley were Jenny Filter with 11 points; Barb Gurd and Duska Morowski each with 4; Tammi Tobias, Carol Lamie and Tammy Corkins, Vermontville sixth graders crush Lake Odessa 36 to 6 Vermontville’s 6th grade football team crushed Lake Odessa Saturday afternoon, 36 to 6, improving their record to 2 wins and 1 tie.

Linemen Randy Heinze and President Reagan speaks on behalfof Employer Support ofthe National Guard and Reserve f here are more than a million men and women serving America in the National Guard and Reserve. They’re a vital part of our nation’s defense. “Duty with the Guard and Reserve is demanding. It requires members to take time off from their regular jobs and takes them away from their families for military training. “Therefore, I extend the thanks of the nation to those of you who support the Guard and Reserve. Without the backing of employers and families, we could not maintain these essential volunteer forces. “The security of our nation depends on a strong Guard and Reserve. And, a strong Guard and Reserve depends on us.” Join the President in supporting the men and women of the National Guard and Reserve. Protect their future while they protect yours.

BALLOT PROPOSALS AVAILABLE - Michigan voters can obtain the exact wording of the seven ballot proposals that will appear on the November 2 General Election ballot from any branch office of the Secretary of State. Since many cities, counties .and townships will have additional ballot proposals on this year’s ballot, prior knowledge of the seven items will help speed along voting on Election Day. You will be receiving a copy of the state ballot proposals from my office in a week or two. WELFARE CHEATERS ARRESTED - Warrants for the arrest of 51 people in southeastern Michigan were issued recently after it was determined that they were receiving more than $300,000 in benefits that they were not entitled to. Five of the defendants allegedly received multiple welfare payments under assumed names. One of the arrested was receiving benefits from Michigan as well as another state. The remainder were arrested because they failed to report other sources of income. Welfare fraud of over $500 is a felony in Michigan with a maximum penalty of four years in prison, a $2,000 fine, and restitution to the State Treasury. Since 1978, the state has arrested 520 people for welfare fraud, accounting for more than $3 million. MICHIGAN RECEIVING AID FROM WASHINGTON Because of the depressed auto industry, several Michigan cities, dependent on automobile production, will receive special grants from the Economic Development Ad­ ministration (EDA). The federal EDA funds will be used to make direct, low-cost, low-interest loans to selected businesses that are in a position to expand and create more jobs during the restructuring of the domestic auto industry.

Michigan’s nearly one million food stamp recipients will receive an average of 8.5 percent in­ crease in their monthly allotments beginning Oc­ tober 1, Department of Social Services Director Noble Kheder announced recently. According to new payment tables distributed by the U.S. Department of Agriculture that take effect October 1, the maximum monthly allotment to a four-person household with no net in­ come will go up from $233 to $253 worth of food stamps. A single recipient with no net income will get $75 beginning next month, up from the old payment rate of $70, while a two-person household will receive $139 maximum per month instead of $128 currently given. Minimum monthly benefits will remain at $10. The increase is the first “cost of living” adjustment for food stamp recipients since January 1, 1981. The Food Stamp Authorization Act of 1977 required the U.S.D.A. periodically adjust food stamp benefits to cover changes in food prices nationwide. Until last year, U.S.D.A. had made those benefit changes twice each year, typically in January and July. Last year’s Om­ nibus Reconciliation Act delayed increases until this October. Procedure now calls for COL adjustments annually in October. Virtually all of Michigan’s 392,000 food stamp households — except oneand two-person units at the upper income eligibility levels — will see an increase in their benefits next month. The federal government funds the entire cost of the Food Stamp Program which aids about 22 million lowincome people in the United States.

Sr W IT i IS W'«i '«i ’Hi bs itli MW II BW® By Mona Ellard, Ext. Home Economist Whatever age, there is one cold and delicious treat that is enjoyed by all - ice cream. Last year American con­ sumers gulped down a record of 800 million gallons of ice cream. Whatever the flavor and whatever the form - cones, sundaes, banana splits, sodas, straight from the dish or carton Americans have developed a passion for frozen confections. A French chef named DeMarco, invented ice cream, after being com­ missioned to create a state banquet for King Charles I. In America, ice cream caught on when Nancy Johnson developed the first practical hand-cranked freezer for home use. More than 50 years later the ice cream cone was introduced at the St. Louis World’s Fair. Today, the good news about ice cream is that most of it contains protein, amio acids, calcium, vitamin A, phosphorus, riboflavin, thiamine and other vitamins and minerals in small amounts. Now the bad news. The more rich and exotic the ice cream, the more fat and calories. There are between 130 to 150 calories in a fourounce serving of ice cream. There is also an im­ measurable amount of pleasure, so to determine your proper intake, weigh one against the other (and you might try stepping on the scale yourself, now and then.) If you would like additional information on food values and calories, contact Mona Ellard, home economist with the Eaton County’s Cooperative Extension Service. Phones: 543-2310 or 645-2351. Small home and car repairs you can do- & & The world of work has become so specialized that to repair anything you must call an expert and that runs into money.

October 19, 1982 One-third of homes not hooked up to sewer in village by Susan Hinckley A grace period for potential users to connect to Nashville’s expanded municipal sewer system may be available, but not unless those individuals seek council approval. Roughly one-third of the approximately 180 new users who by law must hook up to the system by November 1 have not yet done so. “The clock is running out,” said Village President John Hughes at Thursday’s Nashville council meeting. “People who feel they can’t meet the November 1 deadline should contact the village.” At Thursday’s meeting, the council granted a 30-day extension to Patrick J. Eck­ man of 402 Kellogg Street, after he appeared before the board seeking an additional twenty days to complete hookup of his residence to the new system. Collection lines of Nash­ ville’s $4.8 million sewer expansion have been operational since December 1, 1981. The council earlier October 30 is deadline for absentee voting in state Secretary of State Richard Austin reminded all registered voters who expect to be absent from their city or township of residence on November 2, election day, that they may vote by ab­ sentee ballot. Individuals who want absentee ballots mailed to them must apply for the ballots in person or by mail at the office of the city or township clerk where they reside before 2 p.m., Saturday, Oct. 30. Voted displayed at library open house ballots must be returned to the-clerks by 8 p.m. on Election Day. Individuals who expect to be absent on Election Day also may vote in person in their city or township clerks office until 4 p.m., November 1. In addition to being absent when polls are open, anyone 60 years or older or physically unable to vote without assistance is eligible to vote by absentee ballot. established a six-months deadline commencing May 1, 1982, for residents to comply with the sewer use ordinance adopted in February 1980. Under provisions of that law, the fee for an initial hookup of an existing home is $600. After January 1,1983, that charge will jump up six percent and continue to accrue on a 6 percent yearly basis. “The council will give extensions up to a reasonable point in time,” noted Hughes. “There is going to have to be a con­ sistent procedure tb deal with everyone who fits the case.” The village has the power under the ordinance to prosecute those in non­ compliance with the law. Conviction can carry a fine of not more than $500 and imprisonment of not' more than 90 days. Council members Thur­ sday indicate, however, that they do not wish to take a “hard line” on the ruling, due to current poor economic times faced by many local individuals. “But they (the residents) are going to have to come to us and agree to a date for hookup,” added Hughes. In other business Thur­ sday, the council: — Agreed to have the clerk’s office try to better average the two estimated monthly water use bills which precede the quarterly meter-reading billing. The council considered but rejected a proposed policy of having customers read their own meters each month. Due to manpower limitations in the Dept, of Public Works, water meters are read quarterly instead of mon­ thly, with adjustment for over-or-under payment made at that time. — Accepted an offer by Larry Decker of Nashville to pay the village $21 per full cord of wood which he will clear from village-owned property on Brumm Road. Decker will remove downed timber and other trees marked for removal by the DPW. — Agreed to ask the Nash­ ville Fire Dept, to burn down as a training project an abandoned village-owned house at 9700 Brumm Road. A Lake Odessa man who contracted to raze the structure failed to do so within the specified time. — Set the annual curbside leaf pick up by the DPW for October 25,26,27 and 28, with stipulation that only stan­ dard-sized leaf bags that can be handled by one man will be removed. All over-sized bags will be left. — Established Saturday, October 30, as official Halloween Trick-or-Treat night in Nashville, instead of Sunday, on which the holiday falls. — Approved payment to Hecker Agency of $7,289 for a one-year renewal of a multi­ peril insurance policy for the village and $4,088 for one year of workmen’s compensation coverage. General fund operational budget approved by M. V. School Board The Maple Valley Board of Education has approved a revised general fund operational budget for* the 1982-83 school year. The approved budget includes anticipated revenue of $3,148,777 and anticipated expenditures of $3,295,138. The anticipated deficit will reduce the general fund cash balance which was $158,266 as of June 30,1982.

The colorful markers were created by local ellementary students at Kellogg and Fuller schools and Nashville Christian Academy as part of a National Library Month promotion. In conjunction with that celebration, the local Friends of the Library and Woman's Literary Club sponsored an Open House at Putnam Public Library Saturday and are planning another, all day Saturday, October 23, just for children. Refreshments will be served and volunteer lunteer storytellers will be on hand to read to youngsters. (Maple Valley News photo by Susan Hinckley) revenue shows a decrease of 3.5 percent which represents $54,321. This loss results through declining enrollment resulting in less general state aid mem­ bership dollars plus the loss in such areas as transportation and special education. A general breakdown of the various accounts in the school’s budget, filed with the State Department of Education shows anticipated revenues include $1,525,788 from local sources; $1,483,175 from state; $64,880 from federal; and $74,934 from incoming transfers and other transactions. Proposed expenditures include $1,602,484 for in­ struction (basic programs); $175,816 for added needs like regular special education programs, vocational and Title I programs; $2,000 for unclassified-band; $258,225 for instructional employee benefits; $63,221 for pupil support services (guidance, special education consultant and health; $45,215 for in­ structional (library and audio visual); $83,055 for general administration (board of education and central office); $170,373 for school administration (building office operationsprincipals); $724,731 business (includes building operation maintenance and transportation); $110,133 central (non-teaching benefits ) ; $5,000 playground; $49,735 for support services (worker’s compensation, unem­ ployment insurance and building insurance); and $5,150 capital outlay. Expenditures for tran­ sportation include an amount of $47,665 for school bus amortization which is not a direct payment from the general fund. Superintendent Carroll Wolff reported that the anticipated membership for the state aid is 1,630 this school year compared with 1,665 last school year. The Eaton Intermediate School District will be conducting and audit of the school membership later this fall. In other business at the October 11 meeting, general fund bills in the amount of $31,967.32 were approved for payment. The September 17 payroll in the amount of $100,734,98 and the October 1 payroll in the amount of $98,805.10 were approved for payment and transfer to the payroll account.

A two year contractual agreement was approved with the Maple Valley cooks. Salaries for the 1982-83 school year will remain the same as the 1981-82 school year with a provision that a $100 bonus per cook in a building will be allowed providing the average daily participation in that par­ ticular building improves a minimum of twenty percent over 1981-82. In the 1983-84 school year, a salary in­ crease of five percent along with an increase of $25 for insurance was approved.

According to a policy established Thursday by the village council, youngsters are expected to trick-or-treat on Saturday evening, October 30, instead of Sunday, which is the actual holiday. This will alleviate the confusion for local residents who have been wondering on which night to expect the calls by little goblins and witches. Annual leaf pick up in Nashville is set for four days the last week of October, from the 25th through the 28th. The Dept, of Public Works crew will pick up leaves at curbside throughout the village. Only standard sized leaf bags that can be handled easily by one man will be taken. In the past, oversized commercial bags have been used by some residents and these have proved far too heavy for the DPW to collect in their normal procedure. This year, oversized bags will be left behind. The Nashville Police Dept, handled 73 complaints during September, according to an activities report presented to the village council Thursday by Sgt. Gene Koetje, acting chief. Among those com­ plaints were five malicious destructions to property, one illegal entry, one breaking and entering (of the Maple Valley bus garage), two open doors found and secured, and one attempted larceny of gasoline. The Nashville officers wrote five moving violation citations during the month and made two arrests. They gave seven assists to the Barry County Sheriff’s Dept., one to Eaton County, and one to Ver­ montville police. The Nash­ ville cruiser was driven 2,446 miles dunhg' September, using 245 gallons of gasoline. Services were held Sunday at Nashville Church of the Nazarene for James H. Conner, 74, who died Friday at Pennock Hospital. He was a retired stonecutter, but will be remembered by many Nashville folks as proprietor some 15 years ago of a second-hand store, called the White Elephant, in the McDerby building on the southeast corner of Main and Washington streets. Condolences are extended to the family. The most recent con­ tributions to the Putnam Public Library Building Fund Fund came came from from Wade Wade and and Mary Carpenter; from Mr. and Mrs. Scott W. Taylor in memory of Richard S. Taylor; from La Nola (Cross) Fox in memory of her sister, Charlotte Hynes; from Beatrice Buchanan, Klinkner and Edythe Dorothy McCleary in memory of their parents, Chancy and Mina Hicks; and from an anonymous donor in memory of Kenneth “Ted” Mix. Unless anonymity is requested, names of all donors to the fund will be listed each week in the Maple Valley News. Names also will be inscribed on plaques to be permanently displayed in the proposed new Children’s Wing ad­ dition. Those persons designated in memorials also will be listed on a special scroll.

Nashville, Tuesday. October 19. 1982 — Page 4 First Nashville auto sported three wheels... According to the diary of his wife Ella, John Taylor ordered this Mitchell on June 1, 1911, and picked it up in Grand Rapids on June 22. After he brought it home to Nashville, the Taylors (seated in car) took friends and relatives for joy rides through the local countryside. Soon, Taylor ran the auto for hire, transporting Nashville folks on business or pleasure trips to neighboring communities for a nominal fee. Cantakerous cars were not the only problem facing early motorists. Rough and rocky roads, insufferably dusty or impassably muddy, were a daily trial to those venturing out in "horseless carriages". Upon occasion, horses had to rescue the new tangled machines stranded in rural mud. Merrill Hinckley, the hatless young man driving this car, is the only one identified in this photo. He was an early driver and gave instructions to new auto owners in the Nashville area. (Author’s Note: With the addition of two “new” old photos, this story is reprinted in part from a Memories of the Past first published August 15, 1979.) No gasoline shortage was noted when the first auto appeared on the Nashville 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 Nashville News: “J. C. Hurd is riding around 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.” FALL WINTERIZATION SALE What you’ll need for SEALING up your home!

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 were capable of inflicting pain, they also were responsible for fetching speedy aid. Physicians became early and devoted fans of the internal com­ bustion 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 writer 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 with the first auto, a distaff member of the community was making giant strides for­ ward in behalf of future generations of female drivers. “Glen H. Young returned from Lansing Friday evening with his new Old­ smobile, and is becoming quite proficient in its management,” 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 often were severely tested in those early years when horse-powered rigs continued to far outnumber gas-powered conveyances. “Charles Nease’s team J.C. Hurd, left, introduced several "firsts" to Nashville, including the auto, the ice cream cone, and the commercially-made radio. In 1910 he opened the first Ford sales agency in this area at this South Main Street location. Employees Ralph Olin (center) and Merrill Hinckley are shown in this 1916 photo. was frightened by an automobile Tuesday mor­ ning and ran away, smashing the wagon and wrecking the harness almost beyond repair,” observed the News in August 1904, in reporting one of a multitude of such incidents. “The owner of the auto, a Grand Ledge man, settled fairly for the damage,” noted the writer. An irony of the era was recorded in an early June 1906 issue of the News, when it was reported that “new iron hitching rails have been placed in front of McWha & Hecox’s saloon and billiard hall” with another story in the same edition pointing out that “Joe Hurd has purchased an Olds runabout and iSzh&ving lots of fun with it.” Hurd, erstwhile photographer,- bicycle repairman and auto mechanic, brought several “firsts” to Nashville. He is credited with introducing such diverse innovations as the ice cream cone and (Commercially manufactured radios to the local community. In 1910, Hurd began selling automobiles in the village, becoming one of the first Ford dealers in this area bf 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 bought from Hurd in those 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 auto buggy. It was a gasoline powered car that actually looked more like a buggy.” Fuller recalls Shilling later drove a Franklin “air­ cooled job,” and Kenneth A. Meade, a Nashville native now of Franklin, recollects that his first automobile ride was in a Mitchell owned by Shilling. “My mother took my sister and me to the doctor, probably about 1912 or T3, and he todk us for a ride,” reminisced Meade. “What a thrill.” The Meades lived in the Castleton district northwest of Nashville and it was a rare treat to see an auto traveling those rural roads. “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 remembered by the cars they drove in those early times. “Dr. Vance, the dentist, had an Imperial called the ‘Imp’, and Ray Townsend, who ran the elevator, had a Hudson Super Six,” recalls Meade. Fuller remembers Homer Downing and his Cadillac touring car. “I can still see him now, going down Main Street with that car.” Albert Lentz, of the Lentz Table Company family, lived on Main Street just south of the present-day library, and had a big touring car that may have been a ' Reo, believes Meade. “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 Continued next page- Belknap Hardware Coming to ...

Corner of State Road & AA-66, Nashville �The Maple VAIley News, Nashville. Tuesday, October 19, 1982 — Page 5 now Thornapple Lake Road,” reminisced Meade. “We thought we were flying.” Meade first learned to drive an Overland touring car that his father purchased in 1916. In 1920, the family bought a Model T Ford. “Of course, cars were a big thrill to boys in that period,” observed Meade. “We were envious of the 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 as they neared Nashville. “You needed momentum to make a hill in those days,” recalls Douse. An unex­ pected stop at the base of a hill posed a serious problem to a low-powered vehicle. The auto finally scaled the rise, remembers Douse, but not without some difficulty.

Superintendent Wolff reported on the state reimbursement form received covering the 1980-81 school year special educational program costs in relationship to state reim­ bursement. It was pointed out that the state only reimbursed the school district 21.97371826 percent, whereas, the state should be reimbursing the school district 75 percent. Seventyfive percent of the allowable cost would be $116,560.40. The school district received only $25,612.65 which is the prorated amount received by school districts. Approval was given the purchase of a Burroughs Series L8500 computer from Consolidated Business Forms at a cost of $1,495.00 plus an additional fee not to exceed $100 to Burroughs field maintenance staff for installation. The machine will be used to complete the financial accounting records for the school district. - Approval was given an increase in pay for special education bus driver Paulette Strong to an amount of $8,260.00 per year which is comparable with the other special education drivers considering that Paulette is driving ad­ ditional miles compared A weekly report from - ERNEST NASH State Representative NEW UTILITY RATE LAW — Governor Milliken has signed into law legislation that will eliminate automatic fuel adjustment increases on utility bills. Before the law was enacted, Michigan’s utility companies were allowed to pass on increases in energy costs to consumers without prior approval of the Michigan Public Service Commission. Utility companies will now have to plead their case to the Commission before any increases will be allowed. SCHOOL AID BILL APPROVED — Governor Milliken has signed the $1.2 billion state school aid bill for the 1982-83 fiscal year. Of that total, $882.8 million is from the state school aid fund, which includes revenue from the state lottery, $209.9 million from the General Fund, and $33 million from federal revenues. To illustrate how much education has been cut in Michigan, note that the state school aid bill for the fiscal year 1979-80 approached nearly $1.5 billion. In the past three years, the school aid budget has been cut by $137,168,813. CHANGES IN PROPERTY TAX CREDITS — Legislation has been signed into law, which I co-sponsored, that will substantially reduce property tax credits for state public assistance recipients, phase out property tax credits for households with income in excess of $65,000 and extend special credits to senior citizens whose rents exceed 50 percent of their income. The reduction in property taxes for welfare recipients will save the state $20 million annually. M M M M--- M Commissioner EDGAR FLEETHAM attended our board meetings reg­ ! ularly.

Each year more homeowners elect to use space heaters to heat their homes selectively in an effort to cut utility bills. Following a few simple safety rules is all that’s required to use space heaters fire-wisely. If you’re adding an electric space heater, check to see how much current it draws. Find out what rating appears on the fuse or circuit breakers protecting the circuit you plan to use for the space heater and estimate, the current demand of other appliances on the circuit. (For a quick and dirty calculation, 1 amp on the fuse equals 100 watts of demand. So a 1250-watt heater and a 250-watt light bulb are OK for a 20-amp line but too much for a 15-amp line.) At the very least, this little inspection will spare you the trouble of constantly blowing fuses or breakers. But remember that older wiring can get very hot at currents below the maximum, ratings — so it’s best to stay well below the maximum ratings if you can. Make sure the heating elements will be protected behind a grille. If your old heater lacks this grille, have one installed or discard the unit. Newer electric heaters have a desirable safety feature called a “kill swit­ ch,” which automatically shuts the heater off if it’s accidentally tipped over. To find out whether your old heater has a kill switch, turn it on and tip the unit. If the heat doesn’t cut off at once, discard the heater or have a kill switch installed by a repairman. Position the heater where it will not touch drapes and furniture.... and where nobody will have to stand too close to the unit. The elements are more than hot enough to ignite fabrics from drapes and upholstery to nightwear. These cautions about position apply equally to non­ electric heaters, from gas and oil space heaters to wood burning stoves. But these devices pose an additional hazard as well — the danger of fire and suffocation. Some older oil units can spill flammable liquid if upset...and any fuel burning unit can fill a room with odorless, colorless, toxic carbon monoxide gas unless properly vented. (Even LP gas units whose instructions do not require ventilation can produce carbon monoxide if they get out of adjustment or the flow of fuel drops below the level required for efficient combustion.) Too many times each winter we hear about families burned' or asphyxiated in their homes by a fuel fired space heater that went bad while they slept. Fight back against disasters like those by using electric heaters which feature complete safety features where possible; where cost or other factors require the use of fuel heaters, make sure to ventilate and maintain the unit in strict accord with manufacturers’ instructions. Home is a place that’s warm...not a gas chamber! Fire-Wise is brought to you by the Maple Valley News and Vermontville Fire Department as a public service message.

From our readers TO THE EDITOR: Some months ago I wrote that the Health and Welfare Coinmittee meets regularly with the Department of Social Services, and the other human services agencies of the county. There is great need in this area and in the present economy the needs grow. The effort is to have the churches, service clubs and individuals alert and organized to the extent that help may be available in emergencies. Some may develop over a. weekend when the offices of Social Service is closed. Some occur during the time that it may take to process an application required by law. There are instances were pride alone will prevent people from going to a governmental agency. We are gratified at the response of so many people and organizations. People in trouble are being helped. In our present society, we could not do without the agencies set up by government to.help those who at a given time cannot help themselves. But there is a growing awareness that volunteer efforts can do much to ease the economic and social concerns of many people. Then there is the part of volunteerism that cannot be measured as to its worth and effect. That is to know that your neighbors are your friends and that they care. It’s all a little bit like sickness or a death in our neighborhood. Everyone rallies around to help. Maybe there is really nothing more we can do than just letting them know that we care, but that makes all $500°° REWARD For any information leading to the arrest and conviction of person or persons who re­ moved or removing down wood of any amount, without written permission from owner Shirley Fox Kaiser, West woods on Hagger Rd., between North of Thornapple Lake Road, South of State Road (North of Nashville).

Maple Valley Schools — ELECT — NYLE B WELLS Commissioner DISTRICT 1 DEMOCRAT Our present county commissioner says he is responsive to the people, but his voting record shows differently. • Supported the 1982 budget which allots less than 1 ’/a % of the total budget to the road commission and and spent $45,000 for the operations of a landfill that only the residents of Charlotte are benefiting from. • Voted in favor of zoning ordinances that makes it illegal to leave your lawn mower set in your yard when not in use. • Voted for an ordinance that requires all mobile homes to contain 700 square foot of living space, far more than needed by a single individual. The Proposed Budget for 1983 will: • Allot more than 9% pay raises to county employees, while workers in the private sector are being forced to accept pay reductions. • Allot more than $125,000 above and beyond the in­ flated requests of 14 departments. At the same time we cut the request from the Sheriff Dept, and other Why will Eaton County spend a proposed $8.8 million in 1982 compared to the $4.2 million by Barry County and $3.2 million by Ionia County. My opponent thinks we should just wait till things get better. I believe the people of Eaton Co. are sick of waiting for action. I encourage you to vote for a change on November 2. NYLE B.

Nashville, Tuesday. October 19, 1982 — Page 12 Sports Maple Valley Lions turn away St. Philips In a rare Saturday night contest, Maple Valley’s varsity football team whipped Battle Creek St. Philip 31-20. St. Phil jumped out to an early lead on their first possession by completing a 54 yard pass to set up a 24 yard touchdown run by Chris Hickey. The extra point pass was imcomplete, but Maple Valley trailed 6-0. The score stayed that way until the 2nd quarter when the Lions went on one of their patered long scoring drive. Maple Valley went 71 yards in 12 plays with the touch­ down coming on a 29 yard pass from Randy Joostberns to Marty Martin. The kick failed and the score at the half was 6-6. Maple Valley blistered the scoreboard in the 3rd quarter, scoring on their first three plays from scrimmage and a kickoff return to put 25 points on the board. Tony Reid returned the 2 half kickoff 35 yards to Vermontville 4th and 5th football team trips Saranac In their best showing of 1982, the Vermontville 4th and 5th grade football team downed a tough Saranac squad 12-6 at a Saturday, home game. A strong first half offense and a game-long rugged defense spelled Vermontville’s fourth consecutive win of the year. Vermontville’s first score came on a thrilling first quarter reverse by flanker Craig Henry. Henry’s TD was a 51 yard scamper. Vermontville’s other touchdown came when premier season runner Cevin Cornish made a 24 yard offensive tackle run. For the first time this year Cornish was held under 100 yrds., but the hard running fifth grader got 71 yards, on 15 carries. The other Vermontville successful runner was Jeff Moore, for 16 yards. Vermontville mounted a passing attack with quarterback Dan Franks tossing a 19 yard strike to end Scott Casteele, and hitting Cornish with a five yard screen pass. Vermontville’s offensive line was impressive, especially in the first half. Good effort was shown by Shaun Carpenter, Scott Casteele, Robert Schroeder, Duff Laverty, David McBrayer, Andy Trowbridge, Mike McDonald, Denny Kellogg, Joe Chuhak, Ryan Warner and Andy Goodrich. The Vermontville defensive effort was particularly impressive considering that it faced a previously undefeated Saranac team that had scored more than 30 points in several of it’s 1982 games. A very fine effort came from interior lineman Jason Mishler who made five tackles and spent a lot of time in the enemy backfield. Once again Cevin Cornish anchored the defense with nine stops as middle linebacker. Dan Franks played his usual fine game on defense with 10 stops from either safety or linebacker. Franks also made a fumble recovery as did Scott Casteele and Ryan Warner. Another area of improvement was the play of linebacker Jeff Moore. Other Vermontville tackle totals were: Jason Hoefler - 2, Jeff Moore - 2, Brent Haag - 2, Scott Casteele - 3, Dennis Kellogg - 1, Matt Heinze - 2, Joe Chuhak -1, Craig Henry 3, Ryan Warner - 1, and Shaun Carpenter with 5. Good defensive efforts were also turned in by Kirk McKenzie, Bill Woodbury, Derek Brown and Scott Knoll. Captains this week were: Matt Heinze, Dan Franks, Robert Schroeder, Brent Haag and Andy Goodrich. Saranac was a well coached team that played clean, hard football. Vermontville’s record goes to 4-0. They end their season Saturday with an away contest at Woodland. Vermontville’s coaches are Rod Heinze, Bob Franks, Orv Moore, and Dennis Casteele. the St. Phil 45 yard line and Chris Barton scored on one play from there. Following the kickoff, St. Phil was forced to attempt a punt and Marty Martin jumped on the bad snap at the 21 yard line. Barton scored on the next play and Tom DeGroot kicked the extra point. Maple Valley kicked off, forced St. Phil to punt, and had the ball at their own 40 yard line. Tony Reid then went on a 60 yard scoring run to make the score 25-6. St. Phil came right back with the help of two 15 yard penalties to get a touchdown by Chris Hickey on a one yard scrimmage drive to close the score to 24-14. Marty Martin then returned the ensuing kickoff 76 yards for the Lions final score and a 31-14 lead. St. Phil closed out the scoring with a touchdown with only 7 seconds remaining in the game for the 31-20 final. Tony Reid had his fifth consecutive 100 yard plus Maple Valley gals lose two Valley girls continued to struggle last week dropping one more Southern Michigan Athletic Association contest on Monday and one non­ league game On Thursday. St. Philip took little time establishing their lead in Monday’s game. A 17-8 first quarter advantage widened to a 39-12 lead by the half. The Lions improved in the second half to trail by only one, 25-24, for that time period. But the total score came to a 58-32 loss. St. Philip hit on 14 of 23 free throws for the night. Valley went 0-4. Colleen Hoffman was the only Lion in double figures with 12 points. The Lions traveled again on Thursday night, this time to Potterville. There they suffered a 58-32 defeat. Potterville outscored Valley 23-4 in the first quarter. Their halftime lead grew to 32-11. The Lions were able to outscore Potterville in only one quarter. Valley netted 14 fourth period points to 13 for Potterville. The final score was a 58-32 Potterville win. Maple Valley hit 2 of 3 from the charity stripe. Potterville made 12 of 23 attempts. Senior guard Colleen Hoffman netted 14 for the Lions. Valley travels to Saranac on Monday and plays league leading Pennfield at home on Wednesday.

St. Philip then stopped Maple Valley and Maple Valley had to settle for a 27 yard field goal. Gary Reid kicked the field goal and the line did an excellent- job of blocking. Maple Valley led 17 to 0 at this point. Just before halftime Kurt Hartenburg intercepted a pass and returned it 60 yards to the St. Philip 9 yard line. With 25 seconds to go in the half, Maple Valley fumbled and their chance to score was denied. Maple Valley scored once more in the game in the fourth quarter on a 79 yard run by Robert Browne.

October 19. 1982 — Page 13 Nov. 2 Michigan ballot proposals reviewed by Allen Krizek, County Ext. Director MS s^> Ni ■ Among the ballot issues Michigan voters will decide on November 2 are seven governmental policy items. Several of the items could directly affect household budgets, but all of the issues warrant careful con­ sideration, says Elizabeth Moore, MSU Cooperative Extension Service public affairs specialist. Briefly, the issues are as follows: — Proposal A would, if approved, allow the legislature to put limitations on the granting of immunity from civil arrest and civil process for state senators and representatives. — Proposal B would provide minimum staffing for the Michigan State Police. Under this plan, the staffing level could not fall below 2,257 officers. The minimum could be reduced only on a proportional basis in relation to a population decline. — Proposal C would amend state law to prohibit a lender from using a “due on sale” clause to foreclose on a mortgage' or land contract when the property is sold. If foreclosure is allowed, the proposal grants the seller 48 months, instead of the present 6 to 12 months, to repay the mortgage. — Proposal D (a citizen proposal) would abolish the present system of automatic rate increases that occur to cover rising utility costs. Regular, fully contested hearings on those rate issues would be required, just as is presently the case on or­ dinary rate requests by the utilities.

(tfn) that a publisher has an otficial connection with the Social Security Ad­ ministration and has access to people’s Social Security records, Fleminger said. This is never true. No ad­ vertiser has access to other people’s Social Security records. These records are confidential under the law. “Dramatic claims for books can be misleading,” Fleminger said. “for example, an advertisement says readers will learn “how to collect $300 or month from Social Security at age 30 while you are working full time.” The books tells you what any Social Security office will tell you without charge: If a young father and mother are both working under Social Security and one dies, or becomes disabled, their children may get monthly Social Security payments even if the other parent works full time.” For more information about Social Security retirement, disability, survivors, Medicare, and Supplemental Security In­ come programs, contact the Grand Rapids Social Security office, located at 250 Monroe NW.

The Maple Valley News, Nashville, Vol. 111 - No. 18 - Tuesday, October 26, 1982 150 attend Nashville Lions Club 40th anniversary banquet BY Susan Hinckley The spirit offellowship and community service which for four decades has been the hallmark of the Nashville Lions was evident at a Monday evening celebration of the club’s 40 anniversary. The banquet event at the Thornapple Valley V.F.W. Post in Nashville was at­ tended by some 150 persons, including representatives of Lions clubs from Ionia, Sparta, Vermontville, Grand Rapids, Charlotte, Plain­ well, Middleville, Battle Creek, Mulliken, Saranac, Otsego, Lake Odessa, Jackson, Delton, Hastings, Belding, North Muskegon and Lyons-Muir. Past District Governor Wendell Doty, who forty years ago was one of the Battle Creek Lions who helped establish the Nash­ ville club, spoke of “the wonderful fellowship we call Lionism.” Doty, featured speaker of the evening, recalled for­ mation of the local club and read a list of community achievements by the Lions. “Your are contributing a Admiring the 40th anniversary cake baked by Sue Howard for the Nashville Lions are, from left, John Moore, first vice-president; Lawrence Hecker, charter member of the Nashville club; and Dr. Hugh Overholt, president. !? ?950 51 52 53 54 55 56 57 58 59 60 “ ** m nn nn Edwin Hopper, district governor, conducted the installation ceremony for three new members, standing with their wives and sponsors. From left, «■« wa lot to Nashville,” Doty told the local club. “Think of the things that wouldn’t have been done if it hadn’t been for Lions.” He also complimented the role wives play iri the organization, saying, “Ladies are a tremendous help to Lions.” Doty told the audience of his visits to Lions clubs throughout the world, but noted that there are no Lions behind the IronACurtain. “When communism comes in, Lions clubs go out,” he observed, noting the organization’s committment to God and country. Presiding as toastmaster at the anniversary event was John Moore, first vice­ president of the Nashville Club. He introduced other dignitaries in attendance, including Edwin Hopper of Muskegon, governor of Lions District 11-C-l, and Victor Hawn of Belding, immediate past governor. Other past governors in the audience included Jud Some 150 persons were present for the Lions' anniversary dinner at the VFW Hall in Nashville. Richardson and Al Cox, both of Charlotte; Eugene Fisher of Vermontville; John Maliy of Battle Creek; George Stoecker of Jackson; Bernie Gilliand of Otsego; and Robert Scott of North Muskegon. Governor Hopper depicted the Nashville Lions as a “busy and active club” which always has plenty to report in their monthly newsletter. He officiated at the in­ ductions Monday of three new members,: Maurice Purchis, Bill Eastman and Dan Watson. Hopper congratulated the local Lions on reaching their 40th anniversary and also gave credit to the citizens of Nashville for their moral support of the club. In his remarks to the audience, Immediate Past District Governor Hawn noted, “Nashville was the number one club in District U-C-l this past year.” He presented service chevrons to Loins Carroll Wolff (20 years); Wayne Pennock (15 years); and Doug Vogt (10 years). John Schultz who was absent, also earned a 10-year pin. Other presentations by Hawn included a 100-percent President’s award to Nor­ man Stanton, immediate past president of the Nash­ ville Club, and a 19-year perfect attendance citation for Earl Hose, who has not missed a single meeting in Continued on page 3- ' - Maurice and Ardis Purchis; Lion Orvin Moore; Bill and Janet Eastman; Dan and Audrey Watson; and Lion Bob Joseph. For perfect attendance at Lions meetings during his 19-year membership with the local club, Earl Hose, left, received a special award from Past District Governor Victor Hawn. Hose also received a standing ovation f rom the audience. �The Maple Volley News. Nashville. Tuesday, October 26, 1982 — Page 2 Nashville News The Nashville community was saddened to learn of the death Friday of Vern Staup, who succumbed to a lengthy illness which had kept him bedridden the past few months. With the passing of Vern, the village lost the final link of a father-son barbering team which together has served the local community for over 76 years. Vern retired as a barber in 1976, ending a 50­ year career which had started in 1926 when he commenced cutting hair as an apprentice in the shop of his father, Pearl A. Staup. The elder Staup started barbering in Nashville in 1898. Some months ago Vern reminisced about those early days of barbering for our Memories of the Past story published in May 1981. He recalled that when his father began barbering before the turn of the century, a shave costa dime and a haircut, 15 cents. When Pearl started barbering for Cap Sprague early in his career, he was earning $9 a week. “Then he went into business for himself in the Mallory building and made $19 the first week,” remembered Vern, whose keen memory of local history was a real asset to our column. He was never too busy to be bothered with our questions and he never ventured a “guess” in place of hard facts — establishing himself in our estimation as a irrefutable source on Nashville’s past. We cannot begin to count the number of Memories stories which bear a touch of Vern’s knowledge in some degree. He was a major help, for example, on such stories as the account of the 1917 paving of Nash­ ville’s Main Street; the history of the John Appelman grocery; and the life of village engineer Frank Russell. (Those are just to name a few!) Though we mourn the loss of Vern, it is gratifying to now that so many of his recollections of Nashville’s past were recorded for posterity in Memories of the Past. Our sincere condolences to the family. We share your loss. Parents and children are reminded that by village council decree, Halloween Mortgage Protection Insurance? One name says it best.

A “Spook House” at the Community House of the United Methodist Church will be open to the public starting at 6:30 p.m. Saturday, October 30. The event is being sponsored by the Youth Fellowship of the church. About two dozen Nashville senior citizens were among a group of approximately 70 from throughout Barry County who' enjoyed an autumn color tour last week Monday. The trip, which was made by two school buses, took the seniors through the Yankee Springs and Gun Lake area with a lunch stop at the Circle Inn.

Unless anonymity is requested, names of all donors to the fund will be listed each week in the Maple Valley News. Names also will be inscribed on plaques to be permanently displayed in the proposed new Children’s Wing addition. Those per­ sons designated in memorials also will be listed on a special scroll. Con­ tributions may be made at the library or to Mrs. Nita Brown, Putnam Public Library Board treasurer, P.O. Box K, Nashville, MI 49073. Receipts will be issued for all direct donations.

Judy Oles, of Charlotte recently lost eleven and onehalf pounds in one week to earn the title of top weekly weight loss winner when God’s No-Munch Bunch met at Nashville Baptist Church. The winner in last Monday’s meeting was Debbie Mprawski of Nashville, who dropped four and one-half pounds in one week. Mr. and Mrs. Erwin Bruce of Battle Creek were last Monday dinner guests of her sister, Mrs. Fern Hawblitz of Nashville. Mrs. Dorothy Spaulding of rural Nashville was a Thursday afternoon caller at the Hawblitz home. Little Leslie Gould, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Wayne Gould of rural Nash­ ville, is recuperating nicely at home after undergoing a tonsillectomy Friday at Pennock Hospital in Hastings. Our September 28 Memories column, “A Look into Nashville’s Past”, mentioned the Hirsch Bros, pickle and kraut company in Nashville, which brought back special recollections'to Guy Howell, a former local resident now of Tucson, Arizona. “I worked there when they were making kraut,” wrote Howell. “I almost lost my left thumb in a cabbage coring machine.” He also recalled that one of the Hirsch brothers came from Louisville, Kentucky one time to look over the Nashville plant. On another topic, Howell wrote: “I really enjoyed the Memories article about the Informant (the Nashville high school newspaper which made its debut in October 1931). I remember it and I was well acquainted with all the people whose names you mentioned.” Some of those he noted were Patricia McNitt (“I believe she had a brother named Hugh.”); Anne Maeyens (“She was born in Belgium during the first World War and her parents had to hide her in boxes and barrels and any place they could to keep the Germans from getting her.”); Pauline Bowman (“She and her sister lived in Tennessee for about three years.”); and Mary Wilkes (“I was at at least one party in the Wilkes barn.”). Howell also recalled at­ tending the Battle Creek Centennial celebration reported in the first issue of the Informant. In addition, he remembered the three faculty members mentioned in a “fish story” in the “George George Vanpaper. “ deventer was my chemistry teacher; Arlie Reed was my scoutmaster and, of course, Mr. Wallace was the superintendent.” When Often the death of a dear one- is so shocking that the next of kin is stunned and unable to immediately make decisions on burial' arrange­ ments. Nevertheless, close relatives or friends should not offer to assume decisions such as the choice of a fun­ eral director and clergyman< To avoid later dismay and resentments, it is imperative that the next of kin make the burial decisions.

He sustained leg injuries which resulted in temporary paralysis. “Eventually I went back to school with the aid of two ski poles with the brads driven back,” noted Howell, who finally recovered and went out for track as a mile runner.

Some Facts To Consider All County Road Commissions are autonomous Departments wholly funded by the gasoline and weight tax. The money appropriated by the Eaton County Board of Commissioners in 1982 was a supplement only to provide match funds for bridge construction in the rural areas. the Eaton County Board of Commissioners voted on October 20 to close the County Land Fill on December 31, 1982. I voted for the closure and previously had informed the three Village Councils and the three Township Boards in District 1 of the upcoming decision. The Eaton County Land Use Plan was put to­ gether by the rural Supervisors of the twelve rural townships, with the Planning Commission, and subsequently approved by the Board of Commissioners. All provisions of the Ordinance are subject to Public Hearings by individuals, or businesses. The 1983 Eaton County budget grants a 6% across the board increase for county employees. Those employees (in the minority) on the step system will receive more. This is County Person­ nel Policy. At the Finance Committee meeting I voted against all across the board increases. At the meeting on October 20 I so stated on the floor and warned that this should be the last increase. The budget requests for 1983 were cut, NO INCREASED. THE FINAL BUDGET IS $109,708 UNDE REQUESTS. Eaton County has twice the population and over twice the valuation of Barry County. Eaton has some six times the industrial value that Barry has. When all factors are considered the budget of the two counties are almost identical! These are facts that can be verified at the Eaton County Court House.

Reasoner, “Greater Than Gold” seeks to be used as a tool for pastors to communicate with their churches. Even though most people agree that com­ munication, is essential to a good marriage and family, “Greater Than Gold” goes one step further to show not only how family relation­ ships can go wrong, but how they are healed as well. The story of Bob and his daughter B.J., can be of help and insight to all of us. When children hurt...we hurt; when they rejoice... we rejoice.

Raised in the Detroit area, Chris is a 1969 graduate of Wayland High School, where she pursued a long-standing interest in art. Her career in silk screening was launched in 1980. She was propelled into the public spotlight in September of the following year, when her first fashions show was aired on The 700 Club, a nationally broadcast T.V. program. Chris is the daughter of Neal and Marian Cook, proprietors of the historic Bowens Mills in the Yankee Springs area of Barry County. At Saturday’s event, serving of coffee, orange juice and a variety of- sweet rolls and muffins proceeded the style show and per­ formances by Mrs. Bellisle. Chris Bellisle closed the show with more music and Christian testimony. By Susan Hinckley Little Casey Garvey, left, Rexanne Rasey and her daughter, Jamie, were among those modeling Bellisle fashions at Saturday's show at Nashville Baptist Church. With a God Is My Designer" tote bag and scarf, Bernice Leonard is all set for a day of shopping. Mrs. Bellisles presentation showed how accessories can dres up everyday clothing. Chris Bellisle,, gifted Christian fashion designer, gospel songwriter and musician, is a perfect example of her evangelistic theme: Let others see Jesus in me! The multi-talented Kalamazoo resident made her third Nashville ap­ pearance at a Saturday morning Ladies’ Brunch and Style Show at the Baptist Church. A total of 104 women turned out for the event. Mrs. Bellisle’s earlier Nashville performances were in May at a mother­ daughter banquet at St. Cyril Catholic Church and in July when she and her musical group, Sacrifice of Praise, sang at that church’s cen­ tennial celebration. Radiating her Christian faith, Mrs. Bellisle gave testimony Saturday at Nash­ ville Baptist, accompanying herself on guitar as she sang several original numbers. The style show which followed featured many of her fashion creations carrying silk-screened evangelistic messages: “Jesus Is Joy,” “Hallelujah," and “God Is My Designer.” Believing in the power of the written word, Mrs. Bellisle decided to “give the Lord the glory” when she began pursuing her fashion designing career. It was four years ago, she said, that she noticed fashion scarves decorated with designer signatures. accessories: scarves, purses, tot bags, slippers, aprons, etc. The items are retailed in various outlets such as Christian book stores but Mrs, Bellisle recently in­ stituted a home fashion show plan, on the order of Tup­ perware parties, where her creations will be available. Among 'local people modeling the Bellisle designs at Saturday’s event were Rexanne Rasey, Pam Er­ win, Jane Pierce, Susan Corkwell, Jackie Erwin, Lynn DeGroote, Nancy Brenner, Bernice Leonard, and tots Christine Priddy, Casey Garvey and Jamie Rasey. Mrs. Bellisle’s husband also delighted the audience with his modeling of a denim barbecue apron bearing the inscription, “God Is My Designer.” Mrs. Bellisle told Saturday how she and her husband had given up the financial security of “good jobs” to find real peace in their lives through their Christian work. She noted that they are not seeking fame or fortune in the fashion business, Christine Priddy, left, and Pam Erwin were a lovely pair in Bellisle Christian designs. (Maple Valley News photos by Susan Hinckley) “Isn’t it a shame that the Master Designer doesn’t have His name on anything?” commented Mrs. Bellisle to her husband, Jack, she related to the Nashville audience, and that was the moment her Chrisitan fashion career was born. Mrs. Bellisle explained how Christians can give testimony and witness of their faith by wearing fashions carrying Christian messages, and antithesis to the popular fad of T-shirts carrying slogans which, she noted, “make your hair stand on end.” Each item of clothing designed by Mrs. Bellisle is individually produced. She does all printing of the fabrics and generally employs a seamstress to sew the garment from a prototype of her design. Primarily being marketed at this time are her fashion Lynn DeGroot made a hit in her kilt outfit. �“Barry and Ionia Counties need someone who is enthusiastic, hard working and experienced.

Jennie Filter led the Lion scoring with 12 points. Tam mi Tobias had her first double figure game, scoring 11 points. On Wednesday, league­ leading Pennfield came to Maple Valley. The Lions played hard, completely controlling the rebounds, but found scoring still a problem. The Lions led 11 to 7 at the end of the first quarter, 16 to 15 after two quarters. The third quarter, Valley scored only 4 points and trailed 22­ 21. The fourth quarter belonged to Paqui Craig as she stole the ball 12 times and turned an upset bid by Valley into a considerable loss. Filter led the scores with 9 points and pulled down 9 rebounds. Colleen Hoffman added 6 points; Denise Snowden, 5; Duska Morawski, 5; and Tammi Tobias, 2. The Lions are on the road Monday at Bellevue and Wednesday at Olivet. Intercepting passes for Maple Valley were Steve Lantrip, Greg Tilley, and Ryan Trowbridge. Fumbles were recovered by Kurt Hartenburg and Paul Travis. Jim Benit did a good job in his first J.V. start. He replaced the injured Julius Maurer. Also playing well on defense were Tim Higdon and Jim Symonds. The J.V.’s play their final home game on Thursday vs. Battle Creek Pennfield at 7 p.m. Their record is now 6 wins and 0 losses. Maple Valley finished the night with 305 yards, rushing and 133 passing. The victory gives Maple Valley a 6-1 season record, but more importantly a 5-0 league record. This sets up a showdown next Friday at Pennfield beginning at 7:30 p.m. The Panthers are 7-0 for the year and 5-0 in league play. The two teams meet in the final league game of the year in a head to head confrontation for the league championship.

Vermontville played a strong defensive game Saturday, but showed little offensive prowess. On offensive, Vermontville gained several first downs — but could not mount a sustained drive. Running yardage for Vermontville came as follows: Jeff Moore - 11 yards, Craig Henry - 6 yards and Cevin Cornish 5 yards. Quarterback Dan Franks completed two pases; a 6 yard pitch to Cornish and a 5 yard strike to end Scott Casteele. On defense, Vermontville spent a great deal of time on the field. A good overall showing was made with just the one long gainer for Woodland setting up the game’s only score. Leading tacklers again were safety Dan Franks with 10 stops and middle linbacker Cevin Cornish with 9 tackles. Jason Hoefler gave a good defensive effort with six tackles and Jason Mishler played his second straight outstanding defensive game with six stops from an in­ terior line spot. Other Vermontville tackle totals included: Joe Chuhak, 4; Derek Brown 3; Scott Casteele 3; Scott Knoll' 2; Craig Henry 3; and Shaun Carpenter 3. Single stops were made by Jeff Moore, Brent Haag and Bill Woodbury. Vermontville also intercepted a pair of Woodland passes with linebacker Scott Casteele grabbing one in the first half and safety Jason Hoefler packing off the last pass of the game. Captains for the game were David McBrayer, Mike McDonald, Bill Woodbury, Joe Chuhak and Scott Casteele. On the co-championship squad some impressive season totals were made. Cevin Cornish led the squad in running by an over­ whelming margin with a total of 404 yards amassed over the five-game schedule. Cornish also led the team in tackles with 39 stops from his middle linebacker post. Safety man Dan Franks was a close second in tackles with 36 on the season. Leading pass receiver on the squad was end Scott Casteele who totalled 39 yards with three catches. Coaches Rod Heinze, Bob Franks, Orv Moore and Dennis Casteele would like to thank each player for the dedication and enthusiasm shown during this cham­ pionship season. The coaches also greatly ap­ preciate the season-long support shown by families, friends and members of the Vermontville community. a Wednesday team gathering will be held at the Bismark Community Center and November 1 the 4th and 5th grade team will join with the 6th grade and 7 and 8 grade squads in a team banquet at the Maplewood School.

In the league competition, they had a near perfect 9 wins and 1 loss record. In last week’s dual mat­ ches, the scores were M.V. 162, Middleville 191, M.V. 162, Springfield 188 and the only loss for the month of October was M.V. 179, Lakewood 161.

Other good scores were recorded by Bob Brumm, 46 and 48; Ken Trumble, 45 and 49; Mark Valdick, 49; and John Myers, 49On Friday, the team traveled to Kalamazoo and competed in the regionals. The weather was very poor with cold rain and high winds. The conditions proved to produce very high scores. Kevin Ohm was medalist for M.V. wiht 85, Jeff Hamilton had 88, Greg Lenz had 90 and Bob Brumm was the fourth score with 105. The team total was 368. This was five strokes from third place and a trip to the state final tournament. This year’s golf team had a very successful season. But more importantly, they have made great strides forward in three different areas. They are sportsmanship, attitude and friendship. In the sportsmanship area, we had very few disputes over scores or rules. In the full season, I never heard a bad word from opposing coaches about the Maple Valley team. The team developed a very good attitude. They tried their hardest, good weather or bad.

Vermontville 6th and 7th graders tromp Woodland Vermontville’s 6th grade football team traveled to Woodland Saturday and buried the host team 58 to 0. Following the opening kickoff, Woodland fumbled on their first offensive play with Vermontville recovering. From then on it was all Vermontville as they totaled 383 yards total of­ fense to swamp the out maned Woodland team. Quarterback Matt Forell had a busy afternoon rushing for 116 yards and scoring 3 touchdowns, plus running a Woodland punt back 65 yards and another score.

Bob also scored the 2 point conversion’ following his touchdown. Tackle, Mike Barnaart, moved to the fullback spot in the 4th quarter and gained 9 yards. The offense line play of ends, Bob Hill, Eric Bignail and Aaron Walker, tackles Jeff Schroder and Mike Barnaart, guards Randy Heinze, Mark Goodrich and Kirk Andrews- and center Ryan Cole, was outstanding as they have continued to improve each game. The defense stopped Woodland completely thoughout the game, often breaking through and tackling the runner for losses. Matt Forell continued his busy afternoon on defense as he led the team in tackles with 12, Greg Flower, as always, a leader on defense, continued his fine play with 10 tackles, many of those were for losses.

WELLS County Commissioner DISTRICT 1 Sunfield, Roxand and Vermontville Townships ★ DEMOCRAT k EDGAR FLEETHAM is a “NICE GUY” unfortunately it takes more than a nice guy to be an effective and responsible county commissioner. Why are we turning our back on home­ owners, farmers, and small businesses who are suffering greatly from overburd­ ening property taxes. During Mr. Fleethams long tenure on the board our county government has become a "cancer”, it has grown so big we can no longer afford to feed it and it is about to overtake us with rules and regulations. We don't need to be spending 2 and 3 times more for county service than neighboring counties. Why doesn’t Mr. Fleetham address the issues instead of evading them? Why doesn’t he defend his voting record? Could it be that even he is ashamed of it? Isn’t it time we had a commissioner who will attack the problems and be responsive to our needs?

During the school year the amount of taxes receivable increased from $72 to $180. Present indications are that the cash balance will be reduced further during the 1982-83 school year considering the lower percentage increase in state aid support as related to anticipated expenditures along with the factor of declining enrollment.

Tran­ sportation Authority is now under contract with Tri­ County Community Mental Health to transport Eaton County residents to E.B.I. Breakthru, Inc. The Lake Odessa based facility is a sheltered workshop for handicapped residents from Eaton, Barry and Ionia counties. EATRAN is following a model developed by Barry County Transit ap­ proximately a year ago when that transit agency began transporting Barry County’s E.B.I. clients to the worksite. Approximately 25 people from all areas in Eaton County are brought from their homes to the old courthouse in Charlotte and transferred to a large EATRAN bus for the daily trip to their place of work. Deb Brunger, EATRAN’s manager, says, “We have a commitment to reduce transportation costs for the human service agencies within the county. By providing this service to E.B.I., we are reducing cost and the duplication of transportation services.” (E.B.I. formerly operated three vehicles in Eaton County traveling many of the same roads as EATRAN.) “We find that because we specialize in transportation, as opposed to operating other types of services as well, that we are able to develop an effective, low­ cost plan for agencies such as E.B.I. Breakthru,” she said.

This will be the largest crop this century! It also means that this year’s apple crop is an increase of 44 percent over 1981, compared to a national increase of only 9 percent. Say yes to Michigan apples! STATE LOTTERY CELEBRATES 10th YEAR WITH NEW RECORD - The Michigan State Lottery reports its sales have surpassed the $525 million mark for 1982, setting a new record. Of that amount, $218 million went into the State School Aid Fund, providing 13 percent of the total school aid budget. The other $307 milion provided prize money and maintenance of the system. Since May 12, 1981, when the Legislature changed the law, lottery-revenues have ’ gone exclusively to K-12 education. Prior to the change, most, but not all, revenues went to education. Earlier this year, the State Lottery surpassed the $3 billion sales mark, meaning that in its first ten years, the State Lottery has provided over $700 million to public education. DON’T TOUCH THAT CABLE! - Governor William G. Milliken has signed into law H.B. 4820, legislation making it a misdemeanor to use, or knowingly participate in, the use of devices to tap into any telecommunications service without paying for it. The new law defines “telecom­ munication device” as “any service, transmission, emission, or reception of signals, signs, writings, images and sound of intelligence of any nature by wire, cable, television system, closed circuit or co-axial cable com­ munications system.” MICHIGAN RECEIVES TRADE GRANT The U.S. Department of Commerce has awarded the State of Michigan a grant for $111,208 to accelerate programs linking Michigan businesses with international markets. Michigan was among 300 applicants for the nearly $2 million in federal grant money. Only 6 percent of those receiving grants were governmental units like Michigan. Nearly 2,000 Michigan businesses and over 250,000 Michigan workers are involved in some type of overseas marketing or export-related manufacturing. MOLECULAR BIOLOGY INSTITUTE - The Molecular Biology Institute will soon become a reality at Michigan State University. Molecular biology has the greatest growth potential of any high technology field over the next twenty years, studies show. The institute’s initial efforts will be directed toward the conversion of agricultural and forest material into improved wood products and chemicals that could be used as a replacement for petroleum-based processes such as plastics manufacturing. $2.95 OURS: Now Open 7 Days a Week" I wish to thank my friends, 4n84e8i4g8h48b5o34r8s23a2n3d 488th94e85V34e8r4m823o4n88t9v9i0ll8e923 Methodist Church for the cards, plants and refreshments given to me while in the hospital and since returning home, and all those that stopped by to see me.

ERNEST NASH 726-0330 �The Maple Valley News, Nashville, Tuesday, October 26, 1982 — Page 15 Auto Club urges wearing bright costumes Obituaries Many Halloween trick-or-treaters will not be as easy for drivers to see as these youngsters who heed the Automobile Club of Michigan's advice to wear bright costumes, have reflective tape on clothing and carry flashlights. The clown and the Indian chief also are wearing face makeup rather than masks which obscure vision. The football player makes one serious traffic safety mistake. He should not be wearing the vision-restricting helmet, especially while crossing the street. To help make this a safe Halloween for young trick-or-treaters, the Auto Club is distributing free "Light Up a Life" safety tip cards at its 56 offices statewide.

It is my personal feeling that the holiday should be celebrated on the day on which it falls. There has never been any question about children trick or treating when the holiday falls on Monday through Thursday, which are also school nights. As a safety precaution, perhaps an early curfew should be issued asking all parents to have their children home at an early and reasonable hour. I do ask all parents to ac­ company their children and to exert extreme caution to guarantee a safe and happy Halloween. I would like to encourage anyone who has concerns or comments regarding the village to attend our council meetings. This is your op­ portunity to air your opinions. Our meetings are Staup, both of Nashville; two daughters, Mrs. Richard (Kay) Spaulding of Battle Creek, and Mrs. Louis (Anne) Hamel of Bellevue; 11 grandchildren; two brothers, Edger Pearl Staup of Sante Fe, Mexico, and Faye Macklyn Staup of Hastings; two sisters, Mrs. Grace Edith Whitehair of Nashville, and Mrs. Octa Madeline Foss of Three Rivers.

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

VALUABLE COUPON October 30 Drawing Registration NAME__ ADDRESS PHONE . Kent Standard Service It’s Halloween time once again. Time for witches and ghosts and goblins and spooks. Time to speak of the unspeakable, to make jokes about disfigurement and horrible death and eternal perdition. But let’s have our macabre fun without inviting real tragedy in- the form of ravening fire. Here’s how to have a fire­ wise Halloween and enjoy the holiday’s horrors from a safe distance. Rule number one is a simple one: don’t use can­ dles in a jack-o-lantem! Whether carried by a trickor-treater or set on a window ledge, the candle-lit pumpkin is an invitation to disaster. For a lighting effect more ghoulishly delightful than ever a flickering candle, light a stationary jack-olantern with flashing red and yellow Christmas lights instead. Break out a string of the middle sized C7’/2 type Christmas lights, install red and yellow individually flashing twinkle lamps and voila! You’ll have a jack-olantern that’s both safe and scarier than anything in the neighborhood! Now for the little ones.

Most commercial costumes sold today are flame retardant; if you make your own customes, better fabric shops can sell you both flame retardant fabric or chemical powders for fireproofing other gar­ ments. The young beggars should also be equipped with flashlights (not candles) and reflective strips on their costumes for added visibility. In most areas, Halloween is one of the first nights of truly early dark­ ness so that no one, motorist or trick-or-treater, is really prepared for it So take the initiative and make sure those kids show up. For the same reasons, trick-or-treating should be extra careful, when crossing streets. Teach them to remove any mask or headgear which interferes with normal vision and look both ways and cross with exaggerated care. Of course, children should be told not to sample any candy until children bring it home. Exercise care when inspecting candy — just' discarding apples and other unwrapped items may not be enough.

October 26. 1982 - page 19 Apply lime and fertilizer yet this fall? by Allen P. Krizek, County Extension Director A question frequently heard at the Extension office at this time of the year is whether or not to fall-apply lime and fertilizer to farm lands. There is no question that fall is an excellent time to lime soils; however, there are advantages and disadvantages to fall fer­ tilizer applications. Among the advantages to fall fertilization are: more Grade A dairy producers to vote ;; * ** Ute Ut IWi • Ja । Wki rii KK PTl All Southern Michigan Grade A milk producers will be asked to vote on how they want to fund dairy product promotion, education and product research. The vote will be by mail ballots the first 12 days of November. This funding proposal will effect all Grade A producers, the details of which will be discussed during a meeting, Wednesday, October 27. It begins at 1 p.m. in Jackson. The meeting will be in the Cooperative Extension Service office, 412 Erie Street, located by taking M­ 50 south of the 1-94 exit 138, left at the stop light, right at the stop sign on Lansing Avenue and left at either of the next two left turns. “Based on other meetings held around the state a fair amount of confusion is ex­ pected on the Michigan Dairyman’s Market Program Referendum,” says Roger Betz, Eaton County Extension Agriculture Agent. If passed the referendum will be an assessment paid by producers of a bout 10'/2 cents per hundred pounds of milk, but it will not be an increase in money already paid in by 88 percent of Michigan producers through their cooperatives “supper pool”. For the other 12 percent not currently paying for these services it will be an in­ crease. ‘Hopefully producers will vote an informed ballot and if the Jackson meeting on October 27 will help, we are glad to provide this op­ portunity, ” says Betz. time for application, the fields are generally in better condition to support the heavy application equip­ ment, price discounts are usually available on the fertilizer, and more timely planting in the spring is possible. Disadvantages to fall fertilizer include the increased potential for loss of nitrogen through leaching or denitrification and the cost of money. A farmers money may very well be better off in the bank drawing interest than in­ vested in fall fertilization. If fertilizer is to be fallapplied, fertilizers con- taining the nitrate form of nitrogen should not be used because of the leaching potential. Nitrate fertilizers include ammonium nitrate (34-0-0) and “28” percent liquid nitrogen solutions. Ammonium type fertilizer such as urea (46-0-0) and ammonium phosphates (18­ 40-0 and 10-34-0) are safe to fall apply since they will not leach once the soil tem­ perature is below 50 F degrees. Most N-P-K fer­ tilizers such as 6-24-24 and 8­ 32-16 also contain am­ monium as their nitrogen source and therefore can be safely fall-applied. Carpenter’s Den PRESENTS...

Frith, 81, who has held the post the past 14 years, was surprised by his colleagues and numerous admirers at ah October 25 meeting of the Eaton County Chapter of Michigan Townships Association. The event was staged at Vermontville’s opera house. National, state and local dignitaries were among the approximately 50 persons present for the occasion. Those taking part in the ceremonies were Third The cake specially made fgr Frith by Serena Goode­ nough of Vermontville bore the replica of a tax state­ ment complete with the supervisor's signature. District Congressman Howard Wolpe (D-Delta); State Representative Ernest Nash (R-Dimondale) of the 56th District; Herbert H. Norton, director of township services with the state MTA; John Rossio, director of Eaton County’s Dept, of Equalization; Eaton County Commissioners Edgar Fleetham and Carroll Moore; former county clerk Kate Bosworth Houck; Bertha Sederlund, Eaton Township clerk; Ed Samp­ son, Vermontville Township trustee; and Gary Marsh and John Moore of the Eaton County Road Commission. Rep. Nash said the people of Vermontville Township were “indeed fortunate’’ to have had Fred Frith as their superviors. Throughout the event, Frith was charac­ terized as a man who represented his constituents very well. “For Fred Frith, service on behalf, of his neighbors has been an extension of his A key to Vermontville Township, inscribed with Frith's name, was awarded to the retiring 81-year-old supervisor by Township Trustee Ed Sampson on behalf of the board. deeply rooted affection for his community,” said Nash Continued on page 3 Sewer collection fees begin for potential users; Council grants several extentions by Susan Hinckley Maple Valley falls short of league title Randy Joostberns (at left) talks strategy with the Maple Valley coaching staff during’last week's game at Pennfield. The Lions lost the game and with it their chance at the SMAA football title. More photos and story are on Page 8; (Photo by Steve Jacobs) Potential users of Nash­ ville’s new municipal sewer system who have not yet hooked up to the lines will begin paying a $9.05 monthly charge for the service commencing November 1. Of that amount, $7.90 is for commodity use and $1.15 is designated for the water maintenance fund. The Nashville council said Thursday that it is necessary to begin collecting the fees in order for the village to meet their financial obligations on the $4.8 million system, which was more than 80 percent funded by state .and federal grants. Although November 1 was. set as the deadline, for hookup to the sewer, the council is granting ex­ tensions. on an individual basis, if requested by homeowners. This does not relieve the homeowner of payment of the monthly fee or of the $600 hookup fee. Extensions granted by the council Thursday were to William Dies, .421 Kellogg Street; Elsie Wolever, 617 Bridge; Marcia Phillips, 828 Washington; Joyce Moon, 609 Grant; George Herminitt, 110 East Street; and Community Oil Company, owners of Mobil Pop Shop on South Main at Fuller. The council read a letter from Carol and Robert Aber of 707 S. Durkee which sought permission not to hook up to the sewer system until their private septic' system was no longer func­ tioning. The council denied the request, but offered an ex­ tension to May 1 for the Abers and decreed that they must begin payment on the $600 hookup fee by November 1, as required by village law. Trustee Carl Tobias said that to grant the Aber’s request would be to “set a precedent” for others who do not want to hook to the municipal system. For those unable to pay the $600 hookup fee in one initial payment, the council has established an “easy pay” plan of $50 down and $10 a month, at the rate of sixpercent annual interest. Those needing more time to complete construction of hookups to the sewer must ask for extension, stressed village officials. Those grants Thursday ranged" from 20 days to six months. Collection lines of Nash­ ville’s sewer expansion have been operational since December 1, 1981. The council earlier established a six-month deadline com­ mencing May 1, 1982 for residents to comply with the sewer use ordinance adopted in February 1980. Under provisions of that law, the fee for an initial hookup of an existing homie is $600. After January 1,1983, that charge will jump by six percent and continue to accrue on a six-percent yearly basis. The village has the power under the or­ dinance to .prosecute those in non-compliance with the law. Conviction can carry a fine of not more than $500 and imprisonment of not more than 90 days. In other business Thur­ sday, the council: — Agreed to proceed with legal action against Harlow White of Reed Street, who is alleged to be in non­ compliance with Nashville’s 197'6 zoning ordinance, because he moved a mobile home into his yard in an R-l district without obtaining a special use permit and requesting a land use variance as required by law. — Discussed leasing a plot of land near the village water tower on West Casgrove Street for con­ struction of an antenna tower and reception dish of Charter TeleCommunications, Inc., the cable TV company which was granted a franchise in January 1982 to furnish service to Nashville. Village President John Hughes said Thursday that difficulty in locating a suitable head-in site had temporarily stalled the project, but once the site is secured, the system may be operational in 30 days, according to indications given him by company ofContinued on page 3 �The Mople Volley New*.

The Nate Sheldon family and the Robert Oasters were among those waving and calling to the gondola occupants, whose "hellos” could be plainly heard as the balloon drifted overhead. Several of the spectators went to the landing site to greet the visitors, most of whom were from the Battle Creek Bellevue area. The balloonists said they greatly enjoyed the gorgeous autumn scenery and the especially calm weather which made for ideal flying conditions. The balloon and its passengers were picked up by a scout car which had followed their trail cross­ country. Visiting at the Nate Sheldon home at the time of the balloon’s arrival were Jim and Lori Sheldon and baby Nathan of Ludington, who were spending the weekend with his parents. Sunday, the family gathered to celebrate Nate’s birthday.

Tuesday, November 2. 1982 — Page 4 Junior-senior "Hide and Seek was an annual adventure (Author’s Note: An ac­ count of Nashville High School’s annual Junior­ Senior Hunt was first published as a Memories of the Past on December 19. 1979, when the late Howard Brumm reminisced about the event, in particular the time he was a junior in 1923. This week’s column focuses on that traditional fall ad­ venture in the year 1931. Included in our story are excerpts from The Informant, the NHS newspaper which debuted that October, and which recorded both the juniors’ and seniors’ reports of the hunt.) “Hide-and-Seek” is generally considered child’s play. But at Nashville High School during the first half of the 20th century, a grown-up version of the game became and annual tradition that left behind many happy memories. It was known as the Junior-Senior Hunt. Plans for the event commenced about a month after school opened each fall. The senior class would deliver a formal message to the juniors, challenging them to locate the up­ perclassmen in a secret hiding place within the confines of the village during a specified hour on a designated evening. According to rules of the game, the senior class had an hour to hide en masse on the appointed night. Meanwhile, the juniors remained sequestered in the school. During this con­ finement period, the juniors prepared for the hunt by dividing their class into small units of two or three and assigning each group a different area of town to search. The bell atop the schoolhouse would ring at the start of the magic hour, to set the seniors off for their pre-determined hiding place and mark the beginning of the juniors’ confinement. An hour later, a second bell sounded to alert all that the hunt was on—the juniors off and running. By dividing the junior class into small groups, the entire village could be covered most thoroughly in the hour assigned for the search. A third and final sounding of the bell signaled the end of the hunt — time for all participants to return to the school. If the juniors had failed to locate the seniors’ hideout, they were obliged to treat the upperclassmen to a banquet at a specified later date: If, however, the seniors had been found, they were ex­ pected to host the feast. The 1931 hunt was recorded by The Informant, the fledgling newspaper launched at NHS that fall. The juniors’ account of the night of the hunt follows, in part: ...“(We) were to meet at the schoolhouse at seven o’clock and remain there until eight to give the seniors a chance to hide. Mr. Smith, Hinman Sackett and Junior Roe stayed with us until seven-fifteen, ostensibly to see that we were all locked in, but really to get some of our | CUP THIS and SAVElfj Let Us Do The Dirty Work | I and You Can Have The Fun I of Refinishing...

Doris Gillett brought some records for the Victrola, so those who wished could dance. Others were at the windows watching and anyone who appeared on the sidewalk found himself in the center of a spotlight made by a dozen flashlights... “At last the hour was over. What a grand rush there was... Everyone had to wait at the door for a minute that seemed twice as long as the hour... At last the bell rang and everyone hurried through the rain to the territory they were to search. We never knew there were so many old barns and spooky buildings around Nashville. After everyone had looked every place he could think of in his territory, he went to some other place where he thought they might hide. “We all suspected Ed Kane had an idea where they were hiding. Afterwards he said he wondered where his extension ladder was. “Mr. Marble and some other men mistook Margaret Wenger and Mr. Reed for burglars and locked them in the old hotel. Inez Nesbit, Elsie Kinnic and Alberta Navue each lost a heel from their slippers... Vern McPeck fired a gun from the back of Kane’s store and the alley looked like a race track for a while.,. “Then the bell rang and as the juniors were going back to the schoolhouse, they heard the unearthly yell from the top of the Com­ munity House. Mary Diamante said, ‘How did we know they would revert to ancestral traits by climbing?’... “The seniors who sat for an hour and a half in that cold rain and who will have to pay for a broken window in order to get a chicken dinner, have the juniors’ sympathy.” Meanwhile the victorious seniors furnished their own account of the event for publication in The In­ formant: ...“There we were, 30 in n a, all, perce perched upon thee Community House roof, just waiting to be found so we could give the big feed — but no, the juniors were so selfish they wanted to put it on themselves. “If we remember rightly, it rained a little, didn’t it? We’ll have to ask Bing Wenger about that for he said something about being damp. Mrs. Wallace also said she believed there was some rain during the hour and a half we sat there huddled against the wall of the church. This photo of Nashville's Class of 1933 was taken when they were Juniors, about the same time they failed to find the Seniors in the annual Hunt, which be­ came a local high school tradition during the first half of the 20th century.

Also in photo but not visible are Lovelie Lorbeck, Kenneth Pratt and Mary Wilkes. The roof of the 1916 Community House addition to Nashville's Methodist Church provided a secure hiding place for the Senior Class in the fall of 1931. Thirty seniors huddled for more than an hour on the roof, about a block from the school where the Juniors were sequestered until time for the search to commence. Each year new and unusual hiding places within the village were sought by the Senior Class in hopes of being treated to a banquet by the Juniors. (Maple Valley News photo by Susan Hinckley) “Were we quiet? You could have heard a can­ nonball drop (if it hadn’t been for various members of the class having a bad case of croup). Mr. Smith can testify as to the power of Luden’s Menthols and Life Savers upon a cold that cried for utterance at times. “Two of the seniors, namely Donna Northrop and Richard Green, having already stayed up long past their usual bedtime, very dutifully went to sleep and were awakened by their classmates when the last bell rang. We were afraid that their snores might lead the juniors to us, but we muffled them a little, and there was not much danger after that precaution. “There were practically no casualties during the whole hunt as far as the seniors were concerned, though Mr. Francis, in erecting the ladder for the seniors, deftly poked the ladder through the window in the Community House. In return for services rendered, we will replace the pane. “The big event of the evening, however, occurred after the hunt. All the seniors and faculty were invited to Biddy Gribbin’s house... The lunch consisted of sand­ wiches, pickles, hot chocolate and cake. While we were inside eating and listening to a crooked record on the portable, the poor juniors were outside watering at the mouth. “We knew it was cruel, they all looked so pale and starved, but ‘to the victors belong the spoils’...” About a month later the seniors were again able to lord it over the juniors, who cordially welcomed the upperclassmen to a dinner­ dance held November 10 at the IOOF Hall on Main Street. Reported The Informant: “The entertainemnt was tendered as a forfeit for being unable to locate the seniors (who were enjoying themselves on the Com­ munity House roof) in the annual Junior-Senior Hunt... October 13.” The hall was attractively decorated in colors of autumn. Orange candles and bouquets of calendulas and mums decorated the table. Fourteen sophomores served as waiters. The men featured chicken fricasee with traditional trimmings, plus Waldorf salad and apple pie a-la-mode. During the dinner hour, the juniors and seniors en­ joyed “challenging other tables to verbal duets in song form, and exhibiting skill at clever table tricks.” As soon as the dinner was finished, tables were cleared from the floor and a “grand march” was formed. The remainder of the evening was devoted to dancing to music of an Orthphonic Victrola. Those who chose not to dance played bridge or “500” in the reception room. The event was- properly chaperoned by Superin­ tendent and Mrs. W. D. Wallace and several other faculty members. . “The guests reluctantly left the scene of merriment,” concluded The Informant, “all declaring that they never had a... happier time, and the entertainers feeling that their efforts had indeed jjeen successful.” STANTON’S STA REAL ESTATE E For Your Real Estate Needs...

Jarene Fox is secretary-treasurer and Joostberns will be vice president. Bill Fox will continue to serve as manager, with Andy as his assistant. Both Andrew and Susan, who have been married a year and a half, are lifelong Vermontville residents. He is the son of Mr. and Mrs. “Tom” Joostberns, and is a 1979 graduate of Maple Valley High School. Andy worked at the elevator the summer following his graduation, but more recently has been employed the past two and one-half years by the Board of Water and Light in Lansing. Susan, a 1980 MVHS grad, worked at the elevator under the Co-op program while she was a senior in high school. She recently resigned her post as secretary-manager of the Charlotte Chamber of Commerce to assume office duties at the elevator. - “We plan to give 30 more years good service with the addition of Susan and Andy,” said Mrs. Fox, - who noted that it was in 1952 that she and her husband first bought into the elevator. They later acquired all stockholder shares to become sole owners. Mrs. Fox attributes her husband’s success in the elevator to the fact that he also is a farmer and has first-hand experience and knowledge of products and services offered at the firm. He currently farms 300 acres and will be joined in that operation by Andy. To learn more about the • elevator operation, Andy will take courses in agriculture and business administration at Lansing Community College during the winter months, in addition to his work at the firm. There is a need to be “much more informed” than in the past, noted Mrs. Fox, due to the extensive use of chemicals, etc. in farming. Citizens Elevator, which currently has eight full-time employees, offers the traditional goods and ser­ vices of the trade, including seed for everything from corn through clover, bagged and bulk fertilizer, spreaders, and chemicals. They also have anhydrous ammonia tanks for rent, and will do custom application of fertilizer and chemicals.

During the morning session, MSU Extension specialists will discuss the variety of microcomputers that are available and ex­ plain how these can be used for farm business and en­ terprise management. Two Michigan farmers will ex­ plain how they use microcomputers and special programs in their farm operations. “A computer’s basic payoff is its quick in­ formation retrieval and the opportunity it affords the operator to. streamline the farm record-keeping system,” says Sherrill Nott, Extension farm management specialist. As one of the conference speaker;, Nott will discuss the initial investment and the operating costs of a small computer and show how it can be used for efficient animal, field and financial management. The afternoon segment of the conference consists of concurrent sessions in which software representatives will demonstrate computer programs applicable to agriculture. Each computer program demonstration lasts 40 minutes, so con­ ference participants can learn about five agricultural business programs. Conference details may be obtained from the con­ ference coordinator, Ralph Hepp, Department of Agriculture Economics, 19 Agriculture Hall, MSU, East Lansing, 48824, or call (517) 353-7185.

In the face of great ad­ versity, Maple Valley overcame an undefeated Pennfield team and the advantage that Pennfield enjoyed by playing at home, but they could not overcome the clock. Pennfield snapped the ball with less than a second on the clock and completed a “Hail Mary” pass into the end zone after time ran out to win 20-16. Maple Valley scored first in the game, going 40 yards in eight plays, following a fumble recovery by Tony Dunkelberger. Tony Reid scored from three yards out and Scott Everett kicked the extra point to put Pennfield behind for the first time all year. Pennfield then marched 75 and 49 yards in two drives in the first half to take a 14-7 halftime lead while Maple Valley was unable to generate much first half offense. Marty Martin changed all that with a fine 86-yard kickoff return to open the second half. The Lions went for two points, and although the pass was complete to Tony Dunkelberger, he was stopped inches short of the goal line. Pennfield still had the lead. On Maple Valley’s next possession, they marched 66 yards to the Pennfield four yard line. Scott Everett then booted a 21-yard field goal to give the Lions a 16-14 lead. Maple Valley continued to play rugged defense and ball control offense the entire second half. On their final drive of the night, they moved the ball from their own 24-yard line to the Pennfield 19. With 1:31 on the clock, Maple Valley fum­ bled. Pennfield then ran 10 plays in the next 91 seconds with no time outs, as they moved the ball 81 yards to score the winning touch­ down. With that final throw, Pennfield won the SMAA League championship and remained undefeated at 8-0, while Maple Valley fell to 6-2 for the year and second in the league. Maple Valley’s next game, is at home against Pot­ terville next Friday in the traditional Dad’s Night contest. Game time is 7:30 p.m. Tony Dunkelburger (80) is brought down by o Pennfield tockler.

The program was set up by Wolpe as a means of in­ creasing communication with his constituents and making the resources that a Congressional office has to offer more available to in­ dividuals and communities.

He noted that the students learned enough about basic operation of the computer, fa TRS-80 Model III, so as not to be “inhibited by it.” The machine, which was at Maple Valley Jr.-Sr. High School through Thursday, is capable of handling anything from preschool arithmetic to advanced math, said Taylor.

November 9 1982 Vermontville Village Hall opens house planned An open house will be held Sunday, November 14 at the new Vermontville Village Hall, southeast of the village square park. The event, from 2-5 p.m., will offer residents an op­ portunity to see the new hall, enjoy a cup of coffee, and chat with village officials who are expected to be on hand. The new village hall, which also houses the police department, is a 24 by 36-foot metal building that was a former portable classroom at Maple Valley schools. The village purchased the unit from the school at a cost of $4,700. Village offices were moved from rented quarters on South Main st. into the new building in late September, marking the first time in the 146-year history of Ver­ montville that the village clerk can conduct business in quarters owned by the village. The new two-room facility gives Vermontville’s council a spacious meeting place. For the past several years the council has convened at the Mildred Allen Library in the old opera house. Until 1978, when the old Main St. barbershop was established as a hall, Ver­ montville clerks conducted village business in their homes. The barbershop quarters also housed the police department but was not commodious enough for council meetings. For the new structure, with the installation of a full basement, grading, wiring, plumbing and other work, plus the value of the villageowned lot, councilman Leonard Aldrich estimates Vermontville’s estimate in the new hall at $13,000. McKelvey wins Barry County board seat Open house will be held at the new Vermontville Village Hall from 2-5 p.m. Sunday, November 14. Shown in front of the facility are (from left) Councilman Natalie Gaedert, Deputy Clerk Jill Booher, Village President Bill Mason, and in front Kyle and Erin Booher, Becky Mason. (Maple Valley News photo by Susan Hinckley) Theodore McKelvey, Maple Grove Township Supervisor, has been elected to represent District 5 on the Barry County Board of Commissioners. Republican McKelvey outdistanced his Democratic opponent, Louis Hamel, by a vote of 1,240-904 in last week’s General Election. District five includes the townships of Maple Grove, Assyria, and Johnstown plus a small section of the village of Nashville and a tiny portion of Castleton Township, according to the new reapportionment plan which goes into effect in 1983. Albert Bell, current county commissioner from the present district seven of Castleton and Maple Grove Townships, did not seek reelection. With McKelvey’s victory, Maple Grove Township will be looking for a new supervisor. He has held the post for the past eight years and there are two years remaining in his current supervisor’s term. In order to fulfill his duties as com­ missioner, McKelvey said he expects to resign as supervisor, effective Bazaar to benefit local schools Nov. 20th by Susan Hinckley Chrstian School established Christmas gifts and or­ in 1980 in the education wing naments will be among the of the local Church of the many hand-crafted items to Nazarene, has a current be offered at a bazaar set for enrollment of 70 students.

Goods for the sale have been made and donated by members of several community churches and others, and additional donations of handmade items are being sought. Baked goods also will be sold, and pie and coffee will be served during the 9 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. event. In addition to funds raised by sale of merchandise, the Academy will benefit from the rental of display spaces leased for the day to in­ dependent arts and crafts exhibitors. Students of the academy have been making small items after school hours, under the direction of classroom monitors Mrs. Margaret Ashcraft and Mrs. Sandra Zinger, and plan to sell them at the bazaar, which Mrs. Gibbs hopes will be the first of an annual event. Another popular yearly fund-raiser for NCA has been their popular spaghetti supper. And again this year, the school plans to sell fresh-cut Christmas trees of the grounds of the church­ academy on Fuller Street. Maple Valley Jr. - Sr. attendance report Nashville Christian Academy students display some of the hand-crafted items which will be offered for sale at a Christmas Bazaar Saturday, November 20, at the United Methodist Community House.

Donations of handmade items are being sought for the sale which will benefit the Academy. From left are Michael Guthrie, Debbie Wadsworth, Phyllis Wadsworth, and Joshua Guthrie. (Maple Valley News photo by Susan Hinckley) For the month of October, 95 percent of Maple Valley’s 756 junior-senior high school students were in school everyday. The seventh grade class had the highest attendance rate, barely edging the junior class 95.6 to 95.5 percent Others, in order, were the freshman class (94.5), eighth grade class (94.7), sophomore class (94.9) and the senior class (92.3).' December 31. Of the election, McKelvey said, “It felt good to win as heavily as I did.” He said he hopes the new board of commissioners “can work together to ac­ complish what the county needs and what the people want. I think we’re going to have a good board.” Also elected to the Barry board last week were former commissioner Carolyn Coleman of Hastings, Republican, District 1; in­ cumbent James K. Gordon, Middleville Democrat, District 2; former Hastings Chief of Police Bernard Hammond, Hastings Democrat, District 3; incumbent Richard Landon, Hastings Republican, District 4; incumbent Paul Kiel, Shelbyville Democrat, District 6; and former commissioner Rae M. Hoare, Prairieville Democrat, District 7. Fleetham wins Eaton board seat Incumbent Republican Edgar Fleetham has emerged as the winner of the District One Eaton County Board of Commissioners race. Fleetham defeated Democrat Nyle Wells by a vote of 1,127 to 679, according to unofficial returns. District one includes the townships of Vermontville, Sunfield, and Roxand. Eighteen-year-old Wells, a 1982 graduate of Maple Valley High School, was the youngest candidate on the county board slate. Fleetham, 67, a long-time veteran of the county board, was the oldest candidate seeking reelection this year.

The white stuff dissipated during the day, once again revealing layers of leaves still to be tackled by in­ dustrious homeowners. “Tons” of those harbingers of winter, raked to curbisde, have been picked up by the village Department of Public Works crew, and that annual project is now winding down.

Five top students of Nash­ ville Christian Academy were rewarded with a field trip Friday in which they enjoyed horseback riding at Hilltop Stable on Kelly Highway near Vermontville. Vermontville. Under a special incentive program at NCA, students attaining certain academic and achievement levels are eligible for outings, usually scheduled every other Friday. The youngsters were accompanied on the riding trip by Rev. Richard Wadsworth, academy superintendent. A letter received last week from former local resident Wayne Fuller, now of Toledo, Ohio, commented on several recent Memories topics. One item mentioned Kim Sigler, Republican governor of Michigan from 1947-48 and prompted a special recollection for Fuller. “Many years ago as a barefooted boy I was walking down the road with my fish pole and bait on the way to Quaker Brook to fisa for trout,” recalled Fuller, By Susan Hinckley who grew up in theQli i Itrap district of Ma^tjf Grove Township, south Nashville. “An ancient F< came along and stoppafl j nd the gentleman got ouHn talk to me. Said he was a game warden and wanted to see my fishing license. I was terrified. Had no idea what a license was and figured I must be in big trouble. He later told me who he was and said he was having some fun with me. Sigler was a young lawyer at the time and had some business in the area. He later became prosecutor for Barry County and, later on, the Governor of Michigan.” Fuller con­ tinued: “A good many years ago the Village of Nashville attempted to snare the surrounding rural area in a consolidated school plan. Sigler was their lawyer. Tensions between the rural area and the village were pretty high for a number of months. I cannot remember if the affair ever came to trial but the village lost out in their plan.” Fuller said he remembered his parents discussing the issue at the time. “Some years later, a wider-based plan involving Vermontville was trotted out and eventually approved by the voters and the result is the present (Maple Valley) school system.” As many of our readers will recall, Sigler, who flew his own plane during his term as governor, was later killed when his aircraft collided in bad weather with a radio station tower near Battle Creek.

That day, members of the congregation will turn in miniature- bread-loaf banks which they have been filling for several weeks with money earmarked for relief of world hunger. A planned famine by youths of the Senior High Department of Nashville Baptist Church also will aid world hunger.

He is an early local resident, and graduated from Nashville High School in 1909. Orlan was the sori of William Boston, who in 1875 founded the Boston brick works on the south edge of Nashville. That enterprise was the topic of a Memories of the Past published in Sept. 1981. In his correspondence to us, Orlan, who will be remembered by some of our older readers, said he and his wife live in a home situated on a plain surrounded by mountains and “love it here.” He noted that the humidity is low, which is necessary for Mrs. Boston’s health, and that the area is “growing fast.” The Bostons live at the Village of Oak Creek, eight miles of moutainous driving south of Sedona, where the post office and shopping center are located. Arthur Bateman of Nash­ ville, who was slated to undergo surgery last Thursday at Pennock Hospital, is expected to be operated on today, November 9.

Art is in Room 329 at Pennock and would enjoy hearing from his many friends. Prayers for his recovery also would be greatly appreciated.

November 9. 1982 — Page 4 Memories of the pas 70-year-old memories of a Nashville childhood (Author'* Note: Recently we received a letter from L. Day Slout of Homer, Michigan reflecting on his early memories of Nashville. Now retired, Slout lived here as a youth. He has resided for the past 40 years in Homer where he owned a drug store for thirty of those years. Readers who might wish to be in touch with Mr. Slout will be interested to learn that his May to November address is 116 E. Adams St., Homer, 49245. He winters in Florida where his residence is 315 B., Cape Cod Circle, Lake Worth, 33463. Following is Mr. Slout’s letter to us. We have at­ tempted to use it intact, making changes only in the spelling of various names mentioned in the story. We will leave it to our older readers to let us know if there are any factual errors.) “These are some of the memories of Nashville. Michigan in the years from 1907 to 1913. This is about the time I started school there and later moved to Battle Creek. “I have been back to the Harvest Festival about three times in the past 70 years and have seen only a few of the names I remember as a 12-year-old boy. I often think of Fred Baker, who had a store in the Buxton Block, and of the Ed Kraft grocery next door. “I’ll always remember the smell of fresh ground coffee in his store and also the Colin T. Munro grocery a couple doors south. Kocher Bros, dry goods store was in that block. So was the Farmers & Merchants Bank and State Bank. I’ll always remember the large 4 percent gold lettering on the windows. “C. L. Glasgow’s hard­ ware was next with everything from fly swatters to lawn mowers. Across the alley going south was At Glasgow's hardware one could buy everything from fly swatters to lawn mowers, recalls L. Day Slout. This picture was taken in 1916, just three years after young Slout left Nashville for Battle Creek. From left in photo are store owner C. L. Glasgow and staff: Frieda Shulze Trim, Earl Hoffman and Henry Zuschnitt.

THANK-YOU to THANK-YOU to Margaret Foote who served as our campaign treasurer, your many hours of hard work will always be remembered. -- THANK-YOU to my many friends in the Vermontville area for their support during the entire campaign. --- Special Thank-You to my family for their help and encouragement through it all. You're the greatest. Sincerely, NYLE B. WELLS Paid for by Nyle B. Wells, 8842 Gresham Hwy., Vermontville, Ml 49096 When young L. Day Slout lived in Nashville, Cortright's store was located in the 1908 Hurd building (extreme left) and Dr. Vance, the dentist, was located on the second floor of the Gribben Block, at right. Although Slout moved from the village after the first dozen years of his life, he vividly recalls businesses that lined Main Street during his boyhood days. This southward view was taken about 1919. Then came Barker and Baker, where my brother and I acted smart and or­ dered a baked bean soda at the fountain. Mrs. Barker made us eat it! I’ll never forget how sick we were. “There was another drug store next to the bakery run by two brothers — I don’t remember their names. (Then there was) Diamante’s fruit store; Maurer’s.clothing; Wenger’s meat market; Cap Sprague’s barbershop; Wolcott’s harness store; Will Irland’s pool room; Dr. Vance, the dentist, upstairs in the Gribben Block; Charlie Brown’s drug store and the post office where I used to go nearly every day. When the train came in, I’d get the mail. Our box was number 122. “Joe Hurd had a bicycle shop at that time. Dr. Morris lived in a house in that block and the Wolcott House hotel, where the porch ran the entire length of the building. I remember the salesmen with their big trunks stop­ ping there. There was a house next door where 0. Z. Ide lived. Why I remember his name I don’t know — probably because it was an unusual one. Ray Townsend had the elevator at that time. “On the east side of the street, from north to south, was Tom Copeland’s blacksmith shop where I used to wait every morning during summer vacation for Mr. Marple to bring milk from his farm for delivery to homes in town. “For two summers I carried a two-gallon tin milk can, with a quart container A lasting memory for L. Day Slout is the smell of fresh-ground coffee at the grocery owned by Ed Kraft and also the store of Colin T. Munro (in photo), a long­ time Nashville merchant who saw 40 other groceries come and go during his 55-year tenure on Main Street. for a cap, and would deliver a pint or quart into dishes setting on front porches. The price was 10c a quart. “The fire station was next to the blacksmith shop and I remember how, after a fire, they would hang the hoses from a tower to dry. “John Appelman’s and Frank McDerby’s groceries were on the next corner and also a ladies hat store near them. Ackett’s meat market and O. M. McLaughlin hardware store (were next). C. W. Pratt’s hardware was on the next corner with Will Cortright’s 5 and 10c store. Hiram Walrath was in the basement store with leather goods.” (Note: The “basement store” was what is com­ monly called the “dugout”, Continued next page— �The Maple Valley News, Nashville, Tuesday, November 9, 1982__Page 5 Hartwells are new owners of Nashville Auto & Farm Supply An open house Saturday, October 30, at Nashville Auto and Farm Supply was hosted by John and Johnny Hart­ well, a local father-son team who are new owners of the business.

(Maple Valley News photo by Susan Hinckley) Memories of the past continued from page 4- on the northeast corner of the Main and Sherman in­ tersection.) “Dr. Shilling lived in the brick house next to the corner and Caley’s blacksmith shop was next. Herb Walrath’s harness shop, Ward Quick’s grocery and Downing’s livery barn were in that block. There were, no doubt, a few stores that I don’t remember and probably a few that I have misspelled. I was in the sixth grade when I left the town that I can’t seem to forget. “My schoolteachers were Florence Grohe, Nina Chappel, Miss Roscoe and Vesta Lewis. Henry Walker was the school janitor. Mr. Greenfield was ticket agent at the depot. Len Feighner ran the Nashville News. Will Liebhauser owned the lumber yard. “Sam Cassler operated the mammoth saw at the saw mill. Jacob and Lewis Lentz ran the Lentz Table Factory. “I don’t know how, or why, I remember all the boys and girls about my age at that time. Most of them are not in Nashville now and, no doubt, most have passed away. However, as long as I have gone this far, I must name a few: Don and Greta Quick; Julia Lathrop; Howard and Marion Sprague; Sena Gribben; Harold Powers; Charles Dahlhouser; Bur­ dette and Ward Walrath, and Hah and Leah Walrath; Floyd Titmarsh; Robert and Teddy Townsend; Merle and Alton Vance; Plinny McLaughlin; Margaret and Helen Pratt; Arlene and Pete McKinnis; Ernestine Benedict; La Nola Cross; Arvilla Means; Howard, Bob and Ray Messimer; Claude Perry; Bob Lucius and Luman Surine; Helen Copeland; Guy Hummel; Art Appelman; Wayne Kidder and Glen Shupp. “These are a few memories of a 12- br 13-yearold boy in Nashville, Michigan about seventy years ago.” Action-Ads LOST: Black labrador retriever, male, named Rascal.

When you set out to buy firewood, you need to know something about the various types of wood and the quantities in which wood is sold. Firewood is often sold by the cord, the face cord and the pickup load, and none of these quantities is the same, says Roger Betz, MSU Extension agriculture agent. The cord, or standard cord, is the most common measure of firewood volume. It is a 4 by 4 by 8-foot stack of wood. A face cord often contains only about one-third to one-half as much wood as a full cord, Betz says. A face cord usually contains fireplace-sized logs — 16 to 24 inches long—stacked four Thursday, Nov. 18 IS' to 30' Rods *19.90 Disc to fit your chimney.

The amount of wood in a pickup load varies with the size of the pickup box and the way the wood is stacked. A pickup load usually contains one-third to two-thirds of a standard cord. Various woods burn at different rates and produce varying quantities of heat per volume. The density and moisture content of the wood determines what the B.t.u. output will be.

Milk balloting underway— by Roger A. Betz, Ext. Ag. Agent Michigan dairy producers will vote between October 29 and November 12 on the Michigan Dairyman’s Market Proposal. Ballots are being mailed to all Grade A milk producers in Michigan by the Michigan Department of Agriculture (MDA), which is conducting the vote. Approval of the proposal will miean that about $200,000 more each year will be available for Michigan Milk industry promotion, education and research. “Grade A dairy producers now participating in the superpool are currently paying approximately 10.5 cents per hundredweight to the superpool, and that will not change, whether the proposal passes or fails,” Roger Betz, MSU Eaton County agriculture agent reports. If the proposal is ap­ proved, only those Grade A producers who are not participating in the super­ pool — about 12 percent of the Grade A producers in Michigan — will have to pay plan for promoting the sale of milk and milk products produced in Michigan in which all Grade A producers can participate in the benefits and costs. If the proposal is ap­ proved, a 15-member board of dairy producers, nominated by the dairy cooperatives and approved by the governor, will ad­ minister the program. Details of the proposal may be obtained from the Eaton County MSU Cooperative Extension Service office or the MDA Marketing division.

Vol. TT1 - No. 21 - Tuesday. November 16. 1982 Maple Valley board freezes administrators salaries The Maple Valley Board of Education has voted to freeze the salaries of the school administrators for the 1982-83 school year at the amount they received the last school year. Administrators will receive a fully paid in­ surance program providing coverage similar to the 1981­ 82 school year. Salaries to be paid include junior-senior high Principal Burr Hartenburg, $31,108; Assistant Principal and Athletic Director Larry Lenz, $28,508; Elementary Principal Bill Christensen, $29,058; Elementary Prin­ cipal Howard Yost, $29,058; and Superintendent Carroll Wolff, $40,683. In Other business Nov. 8, the board approved replacing three electrical distribution panels at the Kellogg Elementary Building. Total cost for replacement of the three panels, including time and material, is not to exceed $1,500 and the work is to be completed by Colin Cruttenden. General electrical repair work has already been completed in the building at a cost of $1,658.20 in com­ pliance with the inspection report provided the school district by the insurance company inspector. General fund bills in the amount of $52,443.50 were approved for payment. The October 15 payroll in the amount of $99,605.50 and the October 29 payroll in the amount of $96,804.74 were approved for payment and transfer to the payroll ac- count. Superintendent Wolff reported that the October state aid payment had been received in the amount of $294,119.83. He also reported that the Michigan Depart­ ment of Education had made payment for the driver education program in the amount of $5,414.40 based upon $42.30 per student, whereas, the program is supposed to pay at the rate of $45 per student. He said the reduction was made because of a shortage of state funds. The state rate of $45 per student does not cover the full cost of program. Wolff read letters received from Homer Winegar and Dorothy Swift stating that Mrs. Swift would not be purchasing the building trades home. Jim Hay, Nashville student is Outstanding Young American Jim Hay, 16, son of Mr. and Mrs. Dennis Hay of 9707 Thornapple Lake Road, Nashville, has been accepted into the membership of the organization of OUTSTANDING YOUNG AMERICANS and will now be eligible to compete for cash awards, college scholarships and many prizes awarded at the state OYA conference to be held June 10-12, 1983, at the Plymouth Hilton Inn at Plymouth, Michigan, near Detroit. As well as competing for the state title and $2,000 in cash awards, Jim will be competing for cash and college awards in one of the following categories: per­ forming arts, academic achievement, communitychurch service, physical Jim Hay, 16, of Nashville has been named an Outstanding Young American and will compete in June at a state OYA conference near Detroit. A junior at MVHS, Jim has selected academic achievement as his category of competition. (Maple Valley News photo by Susan Hinckley) fitness, and athletics. Jim has selected the academic achievement category. OYA was created for the purpose of honroing and rewarding deserving young people who have excelled in their chose fields of en­ deavors. The OYA program em­ phasizes the importance of self-confidence, good sportsmanship, depen­ dability, mental alertness, and physical fitness. Jim has been a music student at Maple Valley since 5th grade, when he started playing in band. He is a member of the Spanish Club, and of the newlychartered National Art Honor Society at MVHS. For two years he attended a summer school sponsored by Eaton Intermediate School District for bright and gifted children. He is an honor roll student at MVHS and plans to attend college to pursue a career in bacteriology. Jim attends the Nashville Church of the Nazarene.. High school students, grades 9-12, who have committed themselves to excellence and services, are accepted into OYA mem­ bership by invitation only and must tupify the organization’s motto:“Pride of the Present - Hope of the Future!” Jim and his mother, Mary Hay, will attend an orien­ tation luncheon for delegates and parents to be held Friday, November 26, at the Plymouth Hilton Inn. Jim will be contacting local service organizations and businesses to act as sponsors of his June ap­ pearance at Plymouth, which is expected to cost $250 for the weekend. The board members voted to grant an extension of the leave of absence for special education teacher Debra Clift through December 17, 1982, and this is an unpaid leave of absence. A maternity leave of ab­ sence was approved for Fuller Street teacher Claudette Holmberg for the period beginning February 7,1983 through April 8, 1983. Approval was given a general agreement with the Athletic Boosters covering the general operation of the athletic program, including the financial agreement. Elementary Principal Howard Yost made a report regarding a recent meeting he attended with the sixth grade camp teaching staff. Howard has been the camp director the past two years. He stated that the staff favored continuation of the camping program. Some favored changing the program until late April or early May. This matter was tabled, and the matter will be open for discussion at the regular December board meeting. Mrs. Kathy Davis presented her concern over the situation that her elementary age children (grades second and fifth) have to walk out one-tenth of a mile on Brick Highway to Shaytown Road to board the bus. She stated that she was concerned for the safety of the children considering that this is a wooded area limiting her visibility to the corner where the children board the bus. Board members stated tha they understood her concern, but at this time they could not grant her request to pick up the students at home con­ sidering that students are walking out up to threetenths of a mile in other areas of the school district. The winter sports coaches, as recommended by Assistant Principal - Athletic Director Larry Lenz, were approved after a general discussion which centered around the boys’ varsity basketball coaching position. The following coaches were approved: boys’ basketball - Jerry Reese, varsity head coach; Guenther Mittelstaedt, junior varsity head coach; James Ferrier, freshman head coach; wrestling Chris Ricketts, varsity head coach; Glenn Gurd, junior varsity head coach; volleyball - Bill Christensen, varsity head coach; cheerleading - Barb Franks, varsity; Nancy Cook, junior varsity; Barb Franks, fresh­ man. Anyone interested in coaching any of the following sports should contact Larry Lenz: boys’ seventh grade basketball, boys’ eighth grade basketball, and junior varsity girls’ volleyball. There was a discussion on the possibility of turning School Street in front of the Fuller Street School over to the Village of Nashville. Village President John Hughes presented in­ formation to the board members relative to general maintenance of the street, traffic control, and possible control of private drives exiting on to School Street in event an apartment building or other buildings are built on the property across from the Fuller Street School. No action was taken at this time, and there will be further discussion at the December meeting. Considering that the building trades house has not been sold, the board voted to take bids on repairing the south wall and drain at the house located on Chapel Drive in Nashville. Elementary Principal Bill Christensen provided the board members a report of the state assessment com­ posite scores which involves students in the fourth, seventh, and tenth grades. The tests are scored both in the areas of reading and mathematics; and the Maple Valley students at all three grade levels scored well showing higher test scores than one year ago. A more detailed report will be made when further information is received from the State Department of Education. Nashville Council votes to reduce meeting load to cut costs by Susan Hinckley In a move to save Nash­ ville several hundred dollars between now and the end of the fiscal year in February, the village council voted Thursday to temporarily lighten their meeting load. The suggestion to reduce the number of meetings, from two per month to one, was offered by the council’s finance committee. The estimated savings between now and the end of the 1982­ 83 fiscal year is $740. Currently each of the six trustees is paid. $25 per regular meeting; the president receives $35 per meeting. There is no pay for special meetings or com­ mittee work. Village President John Hughes said, “We will see how it goes” before deciding at the end of February whether the single monthly meeting plan will be con­ tinued. The General Law charter which governs the village mandates only one meeting per month, officials said. Under the new schedule the council will meet on the second Thursday of each month. Hughes explained that the trustees felt this was a good time to initiate the new plan since the next regularly scheduled meeting fall on Thanksgiving, which would have called for can­ cellation or postponement due to the holiday. Hughes said he does not “envision the village being that bad off” financially at the end of the fiscal year, but said committee meetings are being set to review current status of the 1982-83 budget of over $600,000. Loss of state revenues is a source of concern, noted Hughes, since the village already has lost several thousand dollars in an­ ticipated income through reductions in single business and personal income taxes. Trustees Robert Fueri, Jr., and George Frith were responsible for promoting the idea of cutting the number of meetings as a money-saving measure, said Hughes. “One fear they have is that there may be more executive L budgetcuts (at state lavel),” noted Hughes. Although Hughes, said he feels there is no cause for alarm, the village “will have to look very closely” at expenditures between now and the end of the fiscal year. With the single monthly meeting plan, Hughes an­ ticipates each meeting will be of greater length than in the past and will require more outside committee work to process the amount of business normally han­ dled by the council in a month. In other business Thur­ sday, the council approved in a tie vote^roken by Hughes, a 15-year lease at the rate of $1 per year to Charter Tele­ Communications, Inc., for a plot of village-owned land near the municipal water tower on West Casgrove Street. The site will serve as base for the cable TV firm’s satellite reception dish, an 8 x 10 metal building and antenna to be placed atop the tower.

A calligrapher is someone who has mastered the art of writing. Oriental calligraphers write with brush and ink, just as students in Maple Valley’s Art II class are doing. First, students cover their work area with newspapers, then lay out brush, ink block, and ink tray. Blank white paper is used to “write” on. Tablet paper works well because it absorbs ink. If glossy coated paper is used the ink might smear. As with any creative ef­ fort, preparation of the mind is very important. The oriental artist knows that if his thoughts are not clear and calm, his design will turn out badly, He collects his thoughts as he gathers his materials, and thinks' about his design as he mixes his ink. He rubs the ink block on a special flat stone to grind off some powder, concentrating on the soothing effect of the motion. As he adds water, he thinks of the ink as a living force that will bring his ideas to life on paper. Instead of using a grinding stone, students made ink by chipping off a few small pieces from the ink block. They then put them in the ink tray and added a little bit of water. The ink becomes soft and thick. The next step is to dip your brush in water, then stroke it across the ink so that only the tip picks up the ink. The ink should never cover more than the bottom third of the bristle. The Chinese hold their brushes in a special way. Although it will feel awk­ ward at first, it is the best way to make the basic strokes. Strokes are made with your whole arm without moving your wrist or fingers. One must sit up straight and raise your arm from the table to give sweep to your strokes. When students acquired the knack of mixing the ink, holding the brush, and keeping their arm steady, AMWAY Products FOR SALE by... Amway Distributors Ben & Thelma Mason 182 N.

Serving as a backdrop for the photo is the cut-stone foundation of Nashville’s new brick schoolhouse — about five years old at that time, having been built in 1902 to replace a similarly styled structure lost in a February fire. The teacher, Flora Boston, who later became Mrs. Reinhardt, was a Nashville native. She was the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. William Boston who in 1875 founded the Boston brick works on the south edge of the village. Flora graduated from Nashville High School in 1898 and from State Normal at Ypsilanti in 1900. For the next six years, she taught in the Nashville schools, then went on to Ann Arbor where she continued her teaching career. In February 1952, at age 70, Flora was killed in a head-on auto collision near Perry, Florida. There is little else your reporter can add about the photo, so this week we will keep words at a minimum to allow maximum coverage for the picture. We hope it brings back many happy memories for our readers. Perhaps some of the older ones can fill in the blanks in our identification of the children. The names we have were supplied by Mrs. Martich, who secured them a few years ago from her father, the late Fay Hum­ mel, who is pictured in the front row, wearing a striped sweater.

That is the best way to describe this year’s Brownie and Girl Scout troops in Ver­ montville. The past two months, for the most part, have been spent in getting to know each other and starting work on various badges and patches, but each troop has managed to find time for special ac­ tivities. Troop 153, first grade Brownies, got first-hand experience in the voting process when they visited the opera house during the recent elections. The girls have also made hand pup­ pets and they displayed them in origianl skits. Watch for their bake sale in December. A Halloween party was in order for the second and third grade Brownies, troop 244, in addition to a trip to the Country Mill,where they learned the art of cider making. The Junior Girl Scouts, troop 313, (4th, 5th, 6th grades) are working hard on badges and have learned how to make ink and three ways to make butter. Bowling and camping have kept Cadette-Senior troop 205 busy so far this year, with a trip to Lansing for sledding and horseback riding on the agenda. On Wednesday, November 17, the scouts will have an Investitutre-Rededication ceremony in the Congregational Church with cookies and punch served afterwards. The second and third grade Brownies, as well as the- Juniors and Cadette­ Seniors are each adopting a grandparent in the Ver­ montville area. The girls will visit with their grand­ parents, make Christmas gifts for them, and have other activities planned with them throughout the year. The Cadette-Seniors would like for any senior citizen within village limits who would like their walk shoveled this winter to call: Jeri 852-0893. All troops are kindling the Christmas spirit with plans of making tree ornaments, decorations, and assorted crafts and gifts. Some tropps will have parties and caroling.

Tuesday, November 15, 1982 — Page 6 Puppet ministry calls Nashville home by Susan Hinckley Howard, a giant shoveltoting bear, is the chief symbol of of Puppet Prospectors, Inc., a family puppet ministry which recently located in the former People’s Bible Church at 10230 East State Road, Nashville. With a degree in com­ munication arts and a desire to serve the Lord, Sheldon Rhodes founded Puppet Prospectors in 1973. The organization is now in­ corporated with Rhodes serving as general director. Rhodes recalls that during his high school days at Rapid City, South Dakota, he felt the Lord wanted him in some type of service. An idea of what that calling might be came to him some years later when he was serving as a summer youth camp counselor at Lake Ann, near Traverse City, Michgan. “The kids were bored,” observed Rhodes, explaining that the children were listening to at least three sermons per day. “There’s got to be a better way to communicate (to the kids),” thought Rhodes. A few days later a visitor to the camp did a 10-minute puppet show which delighted the youngsters and inspired Rhodes. “I thought, what a super way to use all the things I’ve been learning-speech and drama-and also serve the Lord.” Rhodes had attended Grand Rapids Baptist College after a stint in the U.S. Air Force, then acquired a degree at Western Michigan University, majoring in Communication Arts with a Our Way of Saying...

After a few years at Palmer, Alaska, where he worked as an elementary schoolteacher, Rhodes and his wife, Victoria, a Michigan native and graduate of Lansing’s Sexton High School, launched a part time puppet ministry. Their efforts were hampered, however, by the great distances between churches in that state. They decided to relocate in Michigan since her parents reside in Lan­ sing and his mother lives in Kalamazoo. The Rhodes family now includes daughter Karon, 6; son Kedron, 5; and eightmonth-old twin boys, Kurt and Kenny. The puppet ministry was based in Lansing and operated part time by the Rhodes untd four years ago when they launched it as a full time Service. Since the move to Nash­ ville, they have been joined in the operation by Paul and Laura McCarty of Alaska and their daughters, April and Allison. Both families are involved in the ministry which now stages over 200 programs annually and during the summer months maintains two teams on the road, traveling via converted Greyhound bus. The winter season has a somewhat lighter schedule, but still calls for a good deal of travel time.

They also have made two Alaskan tours since relocating in Michigan and Sheldon Rhodes currently has on his desk a letter asking for their appearance in France, but that will depend upon financial ability of the team to pay their own transportation. Puppet Prospectors is a faith ministry and operates soley on gifts of God’s people, explained Rhodes. Love offerings, along with monthly support of in­ dividuals and churches makes it possible for the shows to be available to rural churches, mission agencies, children’s homes, public and private schools and retirement homes. Believing the puppets are “a great tool for presenting the Gospet,” Rhodes has written scripts for the company’s repertoire of some 20 different shows. Also involved in produc­ tion is recording sound ef­ fects, doing photography for multi-image slide presen­ tations and scenery changes, plus designing and creating the puppets. The latter duty has been the bailiwick of Victoria Rhodes, who now is being aided by Mrs. Mc­ Carty. In addition, from time to time, volunteer lay people-in various churches have sewn puppets for the show. Rhodes’ scripts often are standard nursery stories, revised and updated. “We take things people are already familiar with and redo them with a spiritual message,” noted Rhodes. There are a few standard characters who comprise the cast of many of the shows: Grandpa Wisely, an elderly sage; Pete and Re-Pete, two walruses who teach Bible -NOTICEVermontville Township regular meeting will be held Tuesday, Nov. 23, 1982 at 8:00 p.m. due to Thanksgiving.

Brought to you In co-operation of The Maple Valley News and Vermontville Fire Department- Unpleasant as it is, it’s as inevitable as death and taxes that somewhere in America this Thanksgiving a holiday cook will be rushed to the hospital with serious burns...just as it’s inevitable that somewhere a houseful of revelers will be driven injo the cold by a kitchen related fire. Here are fire-wise tips for cooking and enjoying a Thanksgiving repast safely, if you’re among those Americans who celebrate Thanksgiving at home. Why is Thanksgiving PUPPETS, cooking more hazardous than at any other time? First, many cooks never prepare so many courses, in such quantity, as they do this time of year, causing ex­ traordinary demands on cook and kitchen alike. Secondly, at no time of year is the kitchen more crowded with self-appointed assistant chefs, children, dogs...you name it. So, all the usual kitchen safety tips become doubly important as the holiday meal draws near. Start making your kitchen continued from page 6 verses; Rhineston Cowboy and Sandwich Sally, both fun-loving people; and Phineas Clamby, the villain. Each show runs from 45 minutes to an hour, but is presented in 15-minutes segments to “keep things moving” on the 16-foot 4-inch wide stage which is a masterpiece of engineering. Clever designing of the portable stage with side wings allows for change of scenery and multi-media presentations on movies screens adjacent to the main opening for the puppets. Normally, three to five persons are required backstage to manipulate the puppets during the per­ formance. Once the idea of a new script flashes through Rhodes’ mind, it takes at least one month to produce the show if the cast calls for the creation of new puppet characters. Expense of producing a new show can run as high as $1,500. Recording studios in Lansing were used by Puppet Prospectors during their operation in that city, but since the move to Nash­ ville the organization will commence construction this month of a recording studio at the new headquarters on State Road. In addition to minstering through presentation of their own shows, Puppet Prospectors seek to provide training to church leaders in the use of puppetry. On October 8-9, in their Nash­ ville facility, a training seminar was conducted to teach writing of scripts, making of puppets, basic rules of manipulation, stage construction, lighting and sound, etc. Puppet Prospectors also serves as a training ground for youths, age 14-21, who serve as volunteers on the evanglistic teams. Each member is responsible for raising his own financial support in order to par­ ticipate in the nine-week summer ministry which includes traveling with the show. “The Puppet Prospectors is a means by which young spaeiodpleRhcoqdpess.erve“TthheosLeorwdh,”o have little or no musical ability often find it difficult or impossible to serve on an evanglistic team. Many young people find their place of service on a puppet team where they are effective in winning souls for Christ.” We Have It! fire-safe by declaring it off limits to the younger folk. There’s confusion enough without the risk of tripping over a toddler you don’t even know while carrying a hot saucepan. To doubly kidproof the kitchen, cook with all pan handles facing inward and make sure appliance cords don’t dangle over the edges of counters. This will make it harder for little hands to pull down pans, bowls and Cuisinarts, showering little bodies with heavy hardware and Scalding foodstuffs. Now that the children are safe, see to yourself. Away with that frillv holidav garb while you cook — lacy bows and fluffy sleeves could easily touch a burner and ignite. Roll up your sleeves and don a stout apron while you work. Be extra careful to use pot holders when carrying pots and pans. Maybe you can rush across the kitchen and put down a pot of soup before your fingers burn when you’ve got the kitchen to yourself. The extra time it could take to navigate around your nephew’s sisters-in-law could be all it takes to make you burn your fingers - or drop a scalding hot pan of liquid all over somebody. Do you know how to deal with a pan fire in stove or oven? Smother the pan with its lid or use a fire ex­ tinguisher. Don’t carry the pan outside or use water. You’ll simply spread the fire. Speaking of a fire ex­ tinguisher, where is your kitchen extinguisher? The Tire-wise cook permanently mounts it in easy reach -- not behind or above the stove where one must reach through flames to get at it! A little common sense can make sure this Thanksgiving remains an occasion for giving thanks and not a tragedy never to be forgotton.

Also a talk on Legislation by Mr. Bill High our Area 2 director. Another enjoyable Historical Society potluck and program was held at the Methodist Church on Thursday evening. After a delicious dinner was served, Mrs. Esther Fassett, an antique doll collector, and her friend Mrs. Zelma DeHaan were introduced by program chairman Mr. Don Shepard. It took three tables to exhibit the dolls Mrs. Fassett brought, besides some smaller ones on the dinner tables. On the china dolls, the hairdo is important and most of them had blue eyes, so a brown eyed doll was rare. Most were made in Germany, but were cut off after World War II. She had a Jenny Lynd doll with 1880 on its shoulder. She also had a doll with pierced ear (very rare) some beautiful bisque dolls and wax dolls made in England. Some of the earliest-dolls had a wire in the stomach to manipulate eye control. Some others were Betsy McCall, Madame Alexander, Flapper dolls, Peddler and Rubber dolls made in Akron, Ohio. At the business meeting the following officers were elected; President, Marth Zemke; 1st Vice, Phyllis Kilpatrick; 2nd Vice, Ava Kroger; Secretary & Treasurer, Frances Snyder; Program Chairman, Don Shepard; Trustees, Flossie Corey and Kate Snider.

Valley girls close regular season Maple Valley girls ended their regular season play last week by losing twice. Monday the Lion girls hosted league rival Bronson. The hard-fought contest was won by the visitors 38-36 It was a heartbreaking loss for the Valley team who lost to Bronson 5+40 earlier in the season. The game was close throughout. Bronson led at the half 16-14 and widened the lead to 32-24 at the end of three quarters. But the Lions fought back and scored a 12 point fourth quarter while Bronson netted 6. It wasn’t enough, however, and the visitors took home the vic­ tory. Valley sank 12 of 18 freethrows to help keep them in the contest. Senior, Denise Snowden hit 7 of 8 attempts. She totaled 9 points for the night. The other senior playing in her last home game was Colleen Hoffman who added 7 points. Jenny Filter scored 12 points for Valley. The Lions fell victim to St. Phillip on Thursday 42-37. Valley led after three quarters 35-27. Their free throws again helped them keep pace with the host Tigers netting 11-17 from the line while the Tigers tossed in 4 of 20 attempts. Valley's downfall came in the fourth quarter when they were able to score only two points while St Phillip netted 15. Jenny Filter led Lion scorers with 11 points, Denise Snowden added 8 and Colleen Hoffman 6. Maple Valley travels to DeWitt and will play Pewamo-Westphalia for their district competition.

They were all very cooperative. Even then we cut these requests by $109,708. There are legal and mandatory requirements that counties fund a variety of needed services. Among these are the clerks, treasurers, drain office, sheriff’s department, prosecutors office, the courts, public health, mental health, etc. We met these services in our budget. The law requires that all units of government, local, county and state, be balanced. We have always had a balanced budget.

While assessed values are higher, due to so-called reassessment, the county tax for this year will be no higher than last year except for those who have new property. In other words, our county tax bills will be based on last year’s valuations. This is called “roll back” under the Truth in Taxation Bill recently passed by the Legislature. Only the county tax will remain the same. The schools were not able to roll back. They are in a bind. To have done so would have reduced State Aid payments. Thus school taxes will be higher than a year ago. Not all counties were able to “roll back”. In order to come up with a balanced budget, they had to hold public hearings and to base their county tax on this year’s higher assessments. The Finance Committee worked very hard over weeks of study to meet the needs and yet to be fiscally responsible. I did not agree with the six percent across the board increase in salaries. I just feel that now is not the time for increases on any level, public or private.

Details of that final farewell to an era are featured in a separate story in this issue. Mrs. Dessa Handel of Nashville was delighted on her 87th birthday Wed­ nesday, Nov. 17 when her four sisters honored her with a party which included cake and ice cream, flowers, and a day of visiting. Present for the occasion were Miss Frieda Hecker and Mrs. Dorothy Ames, both of Nash­ ville; and Mrs. Geraldine Van Arnam and Mrs. Fanny Endsley, both of Hastings. Mrs. Doris Marshall of Nashville recently returned home from a two-weeks visit to Lexington, Kentucky, to meet her new great granddaughter, Tiffany, born August 28 to Jim and Debbie Pasco. Mr. and Mrs. Jack Smith, Rex and Tisca, of Battle Creek, were Wednesday evening callers on Mr. and Mrs. Austin Schantz of Nash­ ville. A call from Rome, Italy, from her granddaughter, Gale Jones, was a special treat for Mrs. Caroline Jones of Nashville while she was visiting her son and family, Bob and Hilda Jones of Battle Creek on a recent Sunday. Gale called her parents from Rome after touring Europe on a journey that will conclude after spending the holidays in the Holy Land. Mrs. Jones was in Battle Creek with her daughter and son-in-law, Joyce and Carroll Lamie of Nashville. Last Sunday, the Lamies and Mrs. Jones were in Lansing to visit Mr. and Mrs. Wayne Gray and their week-old baby boy, Gary. Earl and Clara Pennock of Nashville took their daughter, Mrs. Leigh Haroff, and her sons Aaron and Adam, to the airport at Kalamazoo last week for the first leg of their flight to Frankfort, Germany. Mrs. Haroff and children have been residing temporarily with the Pennocks while her husband, 2nd Lt. Woody Haroff, relocated with the U.S. Air Force at Hervo Base. He expects to be stationed in Germany for three years. The Mayo-Evans Birthday Club met Thursday, Nov. 11 at the home of Leona Blanchett of Bellevue. Myrtle Mapes assisted the hostess in serving a delicious potluck dinner to 13 mem­ bers. The group accepted an invitation to meet the following Tuesday with the Maple Grove Birthday Club at the Maple Grove Town­ ship Hall. For Christmas, the Mayo-Evans Club will hold a December 9 dinner party at Agnes’ Korner Kitchen (formerly Steak House) in Nashville. At the recent meeting at Mrs. Blanchett’s, she was the winner of the flower fund prize and Alta Linsley and Lorene Loomis won the door prizes. Bingo finished out the afternoon. The first Thanksgiving would have been impossible but for the generous sharing of food by the Indians. Now that our country is blessed with food in abundance, it behooves us to share with impoverished nations and, more important, to teach them production techniques that have made our country so abundant. Such practical Christianity is needed to evolve a wqrld thankful for Christ and for freedom.

The most recent con­ tributions to the Putnam Public Library Building Fund came from Mr. and Mrs. Frank Kneeland in memory of Donald F.

In addition, the local Friends of the Library has recently donated $500 to the building fund, which now stands at more than a From our readers Dear Editor: They landed on American soil at the beginning of what was to be a terrible winter. Without enough food, and lacking even dequate shelter, over half of their number (some 55 people) perished in those first few months. But those Puritans were a people who believed that they had a part in the destiny of human dignity and freedom. They struggled and they survived. The next fall they had food. Time had given the chance to build rude homes that would better defy the harsh elements of a New England winter. So they were thank­ ful and they gave credit to their roots and their faith and these were grounded in reliance upon the Almighty. They organized a feast, invited the Indians and of­ fered up thanks at what was to be the first Thanksgiving! We ought to give special heed to history this Thanksgiving Season. We are going through some pretty trying times of our own in this day and age. There are tremendous social and economic problems that beset us. Millions are unemployed. Industry, Farmers, Business people, workers are being threatened. Bankruptcies are rampant. Many are in actual want. The situation is made worse by the fact that parallel to the economic and social collapse is the moral decay of a great nation. The empty promises of politicians who proclaim “I will change things and solve the problems” are empty and void. Before we solve our economic problems the moral one has to be settled first! This is one of the reasons for hope and thanks this November. There are hopeful signs that Americans are coming back to the basics of Personal integrity, responsibility, initiative, thrift, faith in America and faith in God. We care about each other and are willing to help each other. Among many other blessings the above are reasons for which to thank Almighty God this Thanksgiving. Edgar Fleetham Eaton Co.

Thirty-one riders par­ ticipated in that event, then collected per-mile pledges from sponsors recruited in advance. Top rider was Merle Sears who chalked up thirty-one miles to earn the top amount of $264.’ for the hospital. Also riding 31 miles was Deedee Wolf, who collected $45.80 from sponsors for her effort. The second highest amount was $145. brought in by Elyse Miller, who cycled 25 miles in the Bike-a-thon. Both children and adults participated in the event. The youngsters circled the cinder track at Fuller Street athletic field, but some of the adults with odometers at­ tached to their bikes were allowed to do their riding on roadways. The Bike-a-thon was chaired by Elsie Wolever, who had high praise for the volunteers who participated in the fund-raiser and also for those who assisted in various ways. Tote bags from St. Jude’s were presented to those riders who brought in at least $75. within the allotted 10-day period. Dubbed “Wheels For Life,” the St. Jude Bike-athon is an annual event staged in communities throughout the nation to benefit the Children’s Research Hospital. Mrs. Wolever expressed thanks to all the sponsors who contributed to the event. Riders were Angie Gor­ don, Robert Dankenbring, Richard Sweet, Deedee Wolf, Penny Ruthruff, Justin Little, Jacob Little, Renee Sears, Randy Sears, Merle Sears, Robert Erickson, Eric Eberly, Sheryl Finkler, Cheri Arnes, Steve Hay, Nicole Shipley,, Missy Adams, Sara DeGroot, Some of the cyclists earning T-shirts or tote bags for their efforts in raising $1,250. for St. Jude Children's Research Hospital are, from left (front row): Angie Gordon and Robert Erickson; (middle row) Penny Ruthruff, Jason Miller, Steve Hay, Sara De Groot, and Randy Sears; (back row) Deedee Wolff, Renee Sears, Merle Sears, and Richard Ferrier.

Volunteers helping with various aspects of the event include Judy Quantrell, Clarence Higdon, Ann Michigan’s unadjusted unemployment rate during October was 14.9 percent, up from the September rate of 14.5 percent, according to estimates released today by S. Martin Taylor, director of the Michigan Employment Security Commission (MESC). October’s jobless rate of 14.9 percent means that 637,000 workers were without jobs, 13,000 more than in September when 624,000 workers were out of work. Taylor attributed the rise in unemployment to layoffs in the auto industry, because of continued weak sales causing cuts in production and inventory size. The number of people in the labor force also feel during October to 4,279,000, down to 28,000 from Sep­ tember’s 4,307,000. The number of people in October’s labor force is 65,000 fewer than October a year ago when the labor force stood at 4,344,000. Taylor said the labor force decline is significant “because it indicates a continuing weakness in the economy.

Stop, Drop and Roll. This is the most effective technique for extinguishing clothing and body fires - and it’s easy to teach.Remember that a child’s instinct, if clothing catches fire, will be either to run to you for in­ structions or make a beeline for the bathroom with the idea of using the shower to put the fire out. Either tactic can be fatal. Teach kids to: STOP—Don’trun - it only fans the flames. DROP — Fire burns up -­ so if you lay down, the fire can spread less quickly and is less likely to attack the face. ROLL — Roll from side to side until the fire is out. Young children don’t need to know the reasons why. Just drill with them, frequently, in short sessions. Have them do the behavior.. .until anywhere, anytime you can say, “What do we do when our clothes are on fire?” and be rewarded by the sight of your youngster performing the lifesaving gyrations. Stay Low and Go. This handy, memorable phrase describes the way to escape from a burning, smoke-filled Action-Ads LOST: Black labrador retriever, male, named Rascal.

Teach the child to crawl when smoke is present...to crawl to a prearranged place outside such as a tree or lamp post, and wait right there until others escape. The rationale for Stay Low and Go is, of course, that smoke rises, so that the best air remains near the floor. Older children -- age five and above - can learn quite detailed techniques for home escape. In the event of a fire that strikes at night, the child should be taught to do the following when the smoke detector sounds. Roll out of bed (without sitting up) to the floor and crawl to the door. Feel the door — if it’s hot, fire is outside! If it’s cool, open with care and crawl outside to the meeting place. If the door is hot, escape through the window using escape ladders if necessary. Of course, this training presupposes that you’ve installed escape ladders on. your second story bedroom windows and that you have a smoke detector in service. If you still haven’t installed a smoke detector, go out right now and give yourself one for Christmas. (P.S. Santa Claus won’t mind if you open it and/ put it up before December 25th!) The key to all fire safety training for kids is that some emergencies strike so quickly that the child can’t depend upon you for advice. Only the ability to deal with the situation quickly and independently can save a young life. Sounds like one heck of a pre-Christmas present to me!

At a Pioneer Day staged in the all-purpose room at the elementary school, craft­ smen and -volunteers in­ troduced the children to various aspects of pioneer life. Touring in groups, the youngsters were'allowed as much as possible to take part in the demonstrations, which included “sugaring off” with syrup furnished by Martins’ Maple Products; candle dipping; corn shelling; rope making; wood carving; butter churning; leather lacing; and weaving. A highlight of displays was a large “quilt” made by a combined effort of all Maplewood students. Each class colored an original crayon design of a pioneer scene on a fabric piece. Teacher Linda Andres later waxed the drawings to preserve them and sewed them all on to ,a large backing to form a coverlet.

Lessons of the past also were furnished through the efforts of Dean Hansen, who set up a display of artifacts from Vermontville’s historical museum. Among the items exhibited for the children were a spinning wheel; a reflector oven; churns; a candle mold; a lantern; an ironing board and flatiron; washtubs and scrub board.

A week/y report from - ERNEST NASH State Representative STATE HEALTH EXPENDITURES - The Michigan Department of Management and Budget reports that health care costs are the fastest rising part of state government costs. State government health expenditures rose 54.4 percent from fiscal year 1978 through fiscal year 1982, compared to a 16.6 percent increase in the general fund budget over the same period of time. During the same period, health expenditures rose from 19.8 percent to 23.3 percent of the total state budget. OH DEER! - While Michigan deer face grave danger from hunters during the second half of November, Michigan motorists face grave danger from Michigan deer. Last year, 1,276 motorists had run-ins with deer during the month of September. By November, 1981, that number jumped to 4,939. Be alert and watch for shining eyes by the side of the road. Slow down! MICHIGAN LEADS IN CHRISTMAS TREE HARVEST Four million Christmas trees will be cut in Michigan this year, and about three-quarters of them will be shipped to other states, according to the Michigan Christmas Tree Growers Association. This year’s bigger-than-ever crop is a result of several factors, including an overabundance of trees which began ten years ago when the demand for real trees was at an all-time low. Because it takes from six to ten years for a tree to mature, that drop in demand from years past has caught up with the Michigan industry. And, like last year, it is anticipated that more people than ever will be buying real trees for the Christmas season. The sale of these trees, at an average price of $9.00, means that the tree in­ dustry will net about $27 million. Merry Christmas! FOOD BANKS - The Michigan Department of Public Health is urging Michigan residents to contribute to food banks and other emergency food providers this winter. Michigan’s. Statewide Nutrition Commission states that existing emergency food programs are unable to meet the basic needs of state residents at or below marginal poverty levels. With over 600,000 Michigan residents out of work, demand on the available food bank inventories is expected to be particularly high this winter. If you want to get in­ volved or donate non-perishable food, contact your local department of social services. REPORT ALL POACHING - The Michigan Department of. Natural Resources is offering a $1,000 reward for in­ formation leading to the arrest of poachers who killed a trophy bull elk last month in southeast Cheboygan County. This is just one of many rewards being offered as part of the DNR’s “Report All Poaching Program”. The RAP program has paid nearly $30,000 in reward money already. The toll free number for RAP is 1-800-292-7800. If you have any in­ formation regarding illegal poaching, give them a call.

The event benefitted the Nashville Christian Academy. a fund-raiser for the Nash­ ville Christian Academy, a K-12 school established in 1980 in the education wing of the local Church of the Nazarene. Saturday’s event in the UMC Community House netted $240 for the academy, plus $81 earned by the NCA student council. “It was really super how many people in the com­ munity not affiliated in any way with the academy, donated items for sale,” said Mrs. Rosa Gibbs, one of the chairpersons of the bazaar. The donated goods ranged from a large, hand-crafted mirror to a huge tray of homemade brownies. In addition to a wide selection of holiday gifts and decorations offered for sale by the NCA, spaces in the hall were rented to in­ dependent vendors who exhibited a variety of goods including upholstered chairs and stools; books; ceramic Christmas trees; scenic hand-painted saws; knitted and crocheted items, etc. There also was a good selection* of cookies, pies, and other home baked goods available. Represented among the independent exhibitors were craftsmen from Bellevue, and Hastings, asngs, Sunfield une an Delton. Mrs. Gibbs said that A wide variety of goods were offered at the bazaar — many of the items made and donated by members of the Nashville community. Independent vendors also rented spots for exhibits at the event. (Maple Valley News photos by Susan Hinckley) due to lack of space the organizers had to “turn away at least eight other exhibitors” who called about renting tables at the bazaar. She said that the unsold items offered by the NCA will be available for pur­ chase at- the academy on December 9 during the regular Parent-Teacher Fellowship meeting.

Rodent proof storage buildings before winter by Roger A. Betz, Extension Agricultural Agent Congestion gives me high blood pressure. What can I do? Make downtown your Christ­ mas gift headquarters. You’ll avoid all the heavy traffic on the highways, and save your­ self time and gas. It’s so easy! DOWNTOWN During cooler weather rats will move into areas where food is plentiful and shelter is more protective and warm. This can cause a serious problem to farmers and homeowners. Rats can consume and contaminate food and feed, destroy property, and spread disease. They are dependent upon man for food and shelter. Therefore, no population reduction technique can be effective in the long run unless food and shelter are first eliminated by good sanitation and rodent-proofing. Habitat alteration can be achieved by. the elimination of trash, debris and other food sources inside and outside of buildings and homes. Shelter can be restricted by storing lumber, boxes, pipe and other materials at least 18 inches above the ground or floor and 1 foot away from walls. The use of rodent proof containers can be of great help. Rodent proofing can be obtained by closing all opening Vz inch or larger with cement, sheet metal or hardware cloth. Rat barriers should be at least 18 inches below ground and 12 to 36 inches above ground depending on cir­ cumstances. Trapping can be very effective, versatile, and inexpensive in controlling rat populations. Excellent baits are cheese, raisins, nut meats, fresh fried bacon, and a peanut butter-oatmeal mixtures. Poisoning can be done either as a multiple dose system or as a single dose system. Rats are very cautious when it comes to new food sources. They will only taste a little bit, or none at all, for a few days. Then after this testing period and no hazards seem to be present, rats will start eating the new food source on a regular basis. That’s why some poisons are very diluted. Rats will be eating on a regular basis before toxic levels of the poison build up in the tissues of the rat. This would be a multiple dose system. A single dose system has a high concentration of poison. If the rat eats enough the first time, it will kill it. Single dose poisons can be made more effective by not putting the poison in a new food source for a few days. This way the rats will be eating the new food source on a regular basis and then be “zapped” by the sudden tainted food. Controlling rat populations can be an expensive and frustrating task. The Ex­ tension office has materials to explain and help in making decisions regarding rat control techniques. < �The Maple Valley News. Nashville. Tuesday, November 23, 1982 — Page 13 Sun.

The proclamation encourages educators to plan writing experiences in every classroom for the purpose of discovery as well as for the usual purpose of informing. In response to this proclamation, the Maple Valley English and social studies departments have undertaken a jointly spon­ sored writing project. This project will focus primarily on juniors who are taking American literature (English III) and U.S. history. The students who choose to participate have just recently watched an eighthour CBS mini-series called the “Blue and the Gray”. This series stimulated a great deal of interest on the part of the students who watched, as well as much class discussion. Before the series actually began, the- students were given a detailed study guide developed by the “Cultural Information Service”. They were also given a list Of 24 essay questions based on both Civil War history as well as the mini-series. The students are now in the process of writing papers, the topics of which came from that list. Most of these papers will require a minimum amount of research outside the T.V. program as well as knowledge of the program itself. These papers will be read and evaluated for their depth and understanding by a teacher from one of the two departments. The students will receive credit in both classes for their work. The purpose of this project is to show students that there is integration between these two departments — indeed, among all courses and departments across the curriculum. This year when Maple Valley juniors study the Civil War in their history class, it won’t be just another war with dates, battles, and statistics. When they read Civil War poety or the “Red Badge of Courage” in English class, literature will take on new life. They will see the Geysers and the Hales. They will remember the conscience-stricken John; the gallant Jonas; and Malachy who struggles against cowardice and fear to finally become courageous. They will remember the false values of Emma; gentle Mary, who needlessly loses her life to a stray bullet; and Kathy, whose spirit guides her to become a nurse in spite of her father’s wishes. Yes, the impact of the Civil War will be great on Maple Valley juniors this year. Research shows that students write best about things for which they have strong feelings or with which they have personal ex­ perience. Surely, the students who participated in this project have developed some of these feelings, and their teachers are looking forward to reading some very fine papers. Ag census to be mailed Report forms for the 1982 Census of Agriculture will be mailed in December to 3.7 million farm and ranch operators throughout the United States by the U.S. Commerce Department’s Census Bureau. The deadline for returning forms is Feb. 15, 1983, after which the bureau will spend three months following up on farmers who did not respond. Response to the census is required by federal law. The legal requirement to comply with the census request has been in effect since the first agricultural census in 1840. The agriculture census is usually taken every five years, but the 1982 census is being conducted a year early to put data in line with other economic censuses. For the first time, the agricultural census will coincide with those of retail and wholesale business, industry and manufacturing.

The Lions finished with a 7.2 season record, tied for the best season record ever at Maple Valley. “It is a real tribute to the seniors— Randy Joostberns, Dan Keech, Tony Reid, Wes Wood, Jim Yost, Jon Granger, Pete Koetje, Dennis Gardner, Tony Dunkelberger, and Bill Wilson — that the team did so well,” according to Coach Dan Watson. Statistically, Maple Valley set four new team offensive records; most points in a game, 46 against Potterville; most points in a season, 225; most yards rushing in a season, 1,931; and most total offense in one season, 2,721. Individuals who received post-season honors included six with all-conference honorable mention recognition: Chris Barton, back; Marty Martin, back; defensive Pat Ressiguie, line; Rob Franks, defensive line, offensive line; Dan Keech, defensive back; and Wes Wood, defensive line. All-conference first team members were Scott Everett, kicker with 11 extra points and two field goals; Randy Joostberns, defensive back with 43 tackles, four interceptions and three fumble recoveries; Tony Reid, back with 1,014 yards, eight touchdowns, and two extra /points; Bill Wilson, offensive line; Dale Mon­ tague, linebacker with 65 tackles; and Tony Dunkleberger, end with 38 receptions for 549 yards and eight touchdowns, all of which are new school records. By a vote of the team, John Clements was selected as the year’s most improved player at a defensive end position. John had 17 tackles, two quarterback sacks and blocked a punt. Tony Dunkelberger was selected by his teammates as the most valuable player for his fine overall play. Besides his receiving statistics, Tony led the team with 86 tackles, two fumble recoveries, two in­ terceptions, and one quar­ terback sack defensively. He also‘punted for a 33.3 yard average and returned punts for a 9.0 yard average. Tony has also been selected to the AP All-State Team as a receiver, and to the State Journal All-Area Team.

Mabel Ost-roth Adams of Barryville Road turned out to be that person. We had estimated the date of the photos at about 1920, but she was able to pinpoint it exactly. “It is our Class of 1917,” she said. “The pictures are of our Junior Play of 1916.” Although Mrs. Adams cannot now recall specifics of that presentation, the cast did include Rip Van Winkle, as we had surmised. Mrs. Adams was able to identify the students quite com­ pletely. We will not attempt herein to list all those in the large group photo but will save that for future publication. We thought, however, that our readers might enjoy matching names to the smaller group pictures, so will list them as follows. In the three-person photo, from left, are Pauline Miller, Wayne Kidder and Myrtle Marshall. In the picture with the two “graduates”, those standing from left are Alberta Martin (in cap and gown); Laurah Mead, Lena Kaiser, Dean Frith and Gladys Mead. The “court jesters” kneeling in front are Myrtle Marshall and Dale DeVine. The third photo, featuring “Rip Van Winkle”, is of (from left) Walter Ball, Lucille Hunt, The funeral director is much like any other profes­ sional or business man.

They were divided into two teams and all left at 8 a.m. and had until noon to report in with their game. A veritable mountain of game was returned, in­ cluding squirrels, rabbits, partridge, chipmunks and a few ducks and one red fox. Captain Smith’s hunting team brought in the most edible game and thus won the privilege of feasting Friday night while members of the losing team prepared the meal. 1880.. .The Nashville Quadrille Band will give a Thanksgiving party at the 1874...The people of Nash­ opera house November 25. ville are invited to attend a All lovers of the dance can Union Thanksgiving service have a good time for 25 cents in the Methodist Church the a head....The thermometer morning of Thanksgiving stood at 8 degrees below zero Day and to bring what they Monday morning, which is can, in the way of provisions several degrees colder than and money, to send to the any day last winter.

Winners will be past summer. Contributions treated by the losers at an Thanksgiving is a day of tradition: family gatherings, bountiful meals, worship services and remembering the less fortunate. In early Nashville, certain special community traditions also were linked with the November holiday: Before the turn of the century, one of those events was the annual Thanksgiving Day hunt in which local males divided into two teams and took to the fields in search of game. Prize for the winning hunters was a dinner prepared by the losers. Thanksgiving Eve dances at the old opera house also were a regular treat for some forty years, com­ mencing in 1877 - the year the building was completed. Another uniquely Nash­ ville event was the Thanksgiving football game staged at the old Riverside Park. Most years, play was between the Nashville squad and that of Charlotte or some other area high school, but occasionally it was a strictly local affair with alumni challenging the NHS team. In the days before TV, the holiday games drew a large turnout of fans. The following excerpts from yellowing pages of The Nashville News help us recapture some of the flavor of those earlier Thanksgivings. Christmas Get Acquainted Special at...

In addition to the traditional observance of Thanksgiving, residents of early Nashville had a few unique ways to mark the November holiday. Before the turn of the century, a community game hunting contest was a highlight of Thanksgiving Day After 1900, play by the local high school football team became an annual attraction in Nashville. And in both the 19th and 20th centuries, Thanksgiving dances at the opera house were a popular village event. 1900.. .The children of the Nashville schools have taken up a collection to purchase a dray load of food and provisions to be distributed to the poor folks of the village on Thanksgiving Day. 1901.. .As usual, Brumm’s New books at Putnam Library TREASURES OF AMERICA AND WHERE TO FIND THEM by Reader’s Digest.

The oldtimers lineup included a number of former high school stars and among those who got into the fray were Don Sprague, John Johnson, Howard Calley, Jesse Guy; Bill Face, Shirley and Nelson Brumm, Dale DeVine, Dr. O. O. Mater, L.W. Face, Ralph Olin, and Al Bennett. Postmaster Robert Surine, E.L. Kane and Emory Morris of­ ficiated. The alumni, by virtue of their superior weight, made consistent line plunges for gains, while the high school team had to take to the air to score. Then the alumni discovered they, too, had a passing combination, Sprague to Bennett, which they proceeded to use to tie the count. 1932...Thanksgiving Day in Nashville and vicinity was a day of quiet family gatherings for the most part. Various organizations sent out baskets to the less for­ tunate, and altogether it was a time of quiet thankfulness. Thanksgiving Eve found a very interesting program in progress at the Evangelical church, with an appreciative audience and a good collection as further features. The young people deserve a lot of credit for the success, particularly Allen Brumm and Raymond Me Connell, who were stage builders, decorators, etc. There was a two-act play and a comedy dialogue, a reading by Eleanor Parrott, a violin solo by Billy Hecker, besides the devotionals. .

Home care involves caring for the sick, the elderly, the handicapped, those suffering from long term illness, those recovering from surgery, heart attack or stroke and many others in their own homes. Home care includes a wide range of nursing care, personal care, therapy services as well as household services tailored to' fit each person’s physical condition and family situation. During the National Home Health Care Week, I invited the citizens of Eaton County to learn more about the benefits of home health care by calling your local home care agency or ask their physician. Your home health agency in Eaton County is the Barry-Eaton District Health Department, 543-2430 or 485-7110. Also, I would like to take this opportunity to recognize the dedicated and caring home care personnel here and around the country who enable many people to be where they want to be - at home.

Special thanks to Lorna and Earl Wilson and Gordon Parsons for their help and kindness. Also thanks to the Castleton Maple Grove Ambulance Dept., Rev.

Following the meal, the children staged two per­ formances for their guests. First, 12 of the youngsters used giant placards to spell out THANKSGIVING, as each child stepped forward to tell in verse what their letter meant to the-holiday: T for turkey, of course; etc. Afterward, seven students - took part in a play depicting the plight of the Pilgrims during their first year in America when many complained for hunger, poor climate, mistrust of the Indians, and homesickness for England. Some of the key characters in the skit were Governor Bradford, Miles Standish, John Alden and Priscilla Mullens. In a second scene, represented as one year later, the children portrayed the Pilgrims in a happier frame of mind since they had made friends with the In­ dians, who had shown the white men how to preserve meat, raise corn, and make warm clothing and moc­ casins from animal skins. “It is good to call the In­ dians friends,” concluded one Pilgrim, as they made plans for the first Thanksgiving feast and decided to invite their new­ found Indians friends “to share all the good foods we have to eat.” This is the third year the Mrs. Homberg’s students have hosted a Thanksgiving dinner in the classroom.

CORKWELL, NASHVILLE VILLAGE CLERK �The Maple Valley News, Nashville, Tuesday, November 30, 1982 — Page 11 Basketball season set to open in valley The Lion basketball team for 1982-83 will feature six seniors, five juniors and one sophomore. The teams will be inexperienced, returning only two starting lettermen. The seniors are Mickey Mahon, Randy Joostberns, Tony Dunkelburger, Pete Koetje, Mike Gurd and Gary K1Z „,S incude chrls Barton, Jeff Starring, Marty Martin, Scott Everett, and Tom DeGroot. Sophomore Jeff Hamilton sounds out the -squad. The Lion squad should exhibit these talents: defensive quickness, shooting ability and bench strength, according to Coach Jerry Reese. “These should create problems for their op­ ponents. Lion problems will be caused by mismatches in height since our tallest player is 6’2” and rebounds will be a concern,” he said. The tough schedule this season opens with a veteran Middleville squad rated highly in Class “C” last season. “We also play experienced clubs like Bronson, picked to take the SMAA, along with Pennfield, both rated high in Class “C” a year ago. Also on the schedule are Charlotte, Olivet, Bellevue, Springfield, St. Philip, Portland, Caledonia and Lakewood,” said Reese. The team will open their play Friday, Dec. 3 at home against Middleville. The freshmen begin play at 4:15 p.m. under Coach Jim Ferrier. The junior varsity play begins at 6:30 p.m. and the varsity game will follow. “We wish the Lions suc­ cess this season and luck in the new league, Southern Michigan Athletic Association,” he said.

Three garlands with lights were strung across the thoroughfare and lighted decorations were attached to Perched in a high-rider, village employee Larry Corkwell attaches a Christ­ mas decorations to a lamp post on Nashville's South Main Street. some 20 lamp posts by the village Department of Public Works crew. This marks the second year that Nashville has enjoyed a completed set of Christmas decorations purchased over several years by the local Chamber of Commerce. Through community donations solicited for a Christmas in July celebration in 1981, enough additional decorations were acquired to assure that each lamp post in the Main Street business district would be adorned for the Yule season. Spaghetti dinner planned to benefit Maple Valley sports by Susan Hinckley An all-you-can eat spaghetti supper — the brainchild of two school administrators — will benefit the Maple Valley Athletic Boosters, a volunteer organization which plays a major role in financing sports programs in the local school system.

High School Principal Burr Hartenburg and Assistant Principal and Athletic Director Larry Lenz are the prime movers behind the fund-raiser, and plan to do much of the work themselves, although they have recruited other helpers. These include Donna Mahon and Lenz’s wife, Pat, who will be the “chief cooks”. “We hope it can become an annual -event,” said Hartenburg. “Perhaps more often, if it goes well. Maybe one dinner in the fall and another in the winter.” He said that he and Lenz got the idea of an annual fund-raising supper when they observed similar events being staged at other schools in the area where “boosters’ ’ are supporting band or athletic programs. The spaghetti supper is open to the public, and Hartenburg points out the particular convenience for parents who have youngsters involved in the ball games which will be going on at the school Saturday. At 4 p.m. the MV freshmen team will face Charlotte. A junior varsity game is set for 6:30 p.m., to be followed by the varsity competition at 8 p.m. The MV varsity team will be fed free of charge at the supper event. Ft others, the very reasonable price of $2.50 for adults and $1.50 for youths, junior high and under, will assure them of all they can eat of spaghetti, cole slaw, garlic bread and beverage. As an additional fund­ raising feature, the three Maple Valley cheerleading squads (freshman, junior varsity and varsity) plan to donate pies to be sold at 50 cents per slice. Plan to attend this Saturday event, December 11, and add your support to the MVAB and school athletics. “The garlands were strung 'cross Main Street with care..." by DPW em­ ployee Arden Schantz, working here near Central Park.

(Maple Valley News photo by Susan Hinckley) Excessive speed ap­ parently was a contributing factor to a one-vehicle crash Thursday in Nashville which resulted in two men being pinned in the cab of a 1970 Ford pickup truck after it slammed into a tree on Sherman Street. Nashville fire and am­ bulance personnel had to use extraction equipment to free the men. Both Nashville ambulances were called into action to transport the driver, Thomas M. Clemens, 22, of Houston, Texas, and his passenger, Harold Svoboda, 31, of 3890 Quimby Road, Hastings, to Pennock Hospital. Both were admitted to the hospital and both were Released Friday. A hospital spokesperson contacted Saturday could not elaborate on the extent of injuries. The accident occurred shortly after 1:30 p.m. Thursday when the west­ bound pickup went out of control on Sherman Street, just west of the Cleveland Street intersection. Marks on the roadway indicated the vehicle skidded at least 159 feet before making a com­ plete turnaround and CRASH cont. on page 3 �The Maple Valley News, Nashville, Tuesday.

A surprise visitor also is slated to make an appearance. Congratulations to Anne CRASH, from front page slamming the passenger side of the cab into a tree on the south side of Sherman Street, near the Phipips Street intersection. An eyewitness account given to Nashville police estimated the speed of the truck at over 90 miles per hour when sighted on Sherman Street about three blocks east of the crash site. Sgt. Eugene Koetje, acting police chief, said charges are pending against the driver. He said the vehicle was a total loss. and Louis Hamel of rural Bellevue on the birth November 24 of a son.

The public is cor­ dially invited to attend the performance. At the time of this report, Mrs. Gloria Johncock of Nashville was in isolation at Blodgett Hospital in Grand Rapids, having been ad­ mitted Wednesday night because of complication of a virus. The address there is 1840 Wealthy S.E., 49506. Mrs. Hilda Baas of rural Nashville had an exciting Thanksgiving weekend with her daughter and son-in-law, Suzanne and Ollie Hackney of Garden City. On ex­ cursions to downtown Detroit and in a visit to the Renaisance Center there, they saw many magnificent holiday decorations with spectacular lights. Friday afternoon, they enjoyed a stage performance of “Peter Pan” at the old Masonic Temple. Frank Gorshin was in the cast. Impressive scenery changes and unique staging effects made the show very memorable. At one point Peter Pan, played by a Detroit actress, literally “flew” over the audience. A Thanksgiving holiday week visitor of Rev. and Mrs. Leonard Putnam of Nashville was his daughter, Martha Putnam of Long Island, New York. The community was saddened to learn of the death Wednesday of Clare J. Wright of Cloverdale Rd. He was a retired machinist at Clarks of Battle Creek, and was well-known for his musical talent on the fiddle. He was a member of the Original Michigan Fiddlers’ Association and often par­ ticipated in various musical contests and events. Mrs. Elsie Ramsey of rural Nashville enjoyed Thanksgiving Day dinner at the home of her daughter and son-in-law, Doris and Cleo Jacobs of Algonquin Lake, Hastings. Also present for the occasion were Mr. and Mrs. Ted Myers of Charlotte and T.R. and Mary Myers and Jeff and Robbie Weiler, all of Vermontville. The week of November 13­ 20, Mrs. Elsie Ramsey was a guest of her daughter and family, Claudette and Ted Myers of Charlotte, and was joined there on the 13th by Mr. and Mrs. Paul Ramsey of Holland, who were weekend visitors. On the 20th, Claudette returned to Nashville with her mother for the day, while Ted Myers and sons T.R. and Mark and Robbie Weiler were deer hunting here. The Council on Ministries of th£ Nashville United Methodist Church meets at 7 p.m. Tuesday, December 14, at the church, to be followed by an 8 p.m. meeting of the Administrative Board. As a follow-up to our comments last week on identification of the recent Memories photos of the Junior play of Nashville’s Class of 1917, we want to report that Laurah Mead Gaskill now lives with her son at 5453 Kendall St., Dearborn, Mich. 48126. Among those shown in the small group photos, others who are still living include Myrtle Marshall Donovan of Mesa, Arizona; Gladys Mead Yarger of Hastings, and perhaps Martha Walker of Mackinac Island. We were unable to verify conclusively that the latter is still living, though some acquaintances here believe so. For those readers interested in con­ tacting Mrs. Donovan, her address is 2460 E. Main St., F-12, Mesa, AZ. 85203. Offices of Nashville Baptist Church have been moved recently from the church facility into the former Kipp home directly across Phillips Street. Ex­ tensive redecoration of the residence has created offices for Pastor Lester De Groot; Assistant Pastor Don Roscoe; church secretary Jan Cooper; and Chaplain Cathy Vesscchia. Vicki Smith of Charlotte was named top weekly weight loss winner when God’s No-Munch Bunch met Monday for their weigh-in at Nashville Baptist Church. She lost three pounds in one week to earn the title. Both she and Cathy Felder of Nashville won awards for dropping 9 and 10 lbs., respectively, during the month of November. The adult choir of Nash­ ville Baptist Church will present a holiday cantata, “An Old Fashioned Christmas,” complete with special costumes, during the 11 a.m. Sunday service, December 19. The per­ formance is under direction of Mrs. Janet De Groot. During evening services that same day, children of the church will present their annual Christmas program. A letter from former local resident Guy Howell of Tucson, Arizona, expressed his appreciation for the recent Memories story recounting L. Day Slout’s boyhood recollections of Nashville. “He sure has a good memory,” noted Howell, who added that he knew a lot of the folks mentioned in Slout’s piece. “Dr. Vance was our family dentist and Dr. Shilling was our family doctor for quite a long time. Florence Grohe was one of my teachers and I kept in touch with her for a long time even after I moved to Florida. She came to visit us there one time.” Another former local resident who enjoyed the Slout piece and wrote to tell us so was Edna DeRiar Hill of Wyoming, Mich. “I found the Memories of the Past especially interesting today for many reasons. The Slout family was well known to me. Lucille Slout was in my grade in school. They moved away from Nashville and she died a few years later of scarlet fever. They were a nice family.” The mention in Slout’s article of the coffee grinder at Kraft’s grocery brought back special memroies to Mrs. Hill. “My sister Margaret had a tooth or two knocked out while spinning the coffee grinder. It hit her in the mouth and frightened Mania almost to death. I rushed home to tell her about it, but ran so fast I was speechless when I got We have been asked this question, What should be done when death comes to a loved one at some distant point?" We suggest that the next of kin immediately phone his home­ town funeral director who will then make all arrangements for the care and return of the de­ ceased. This will avoid possible misunderstandings that can so easily occur.

That article proved to be a popular one and was repeated last year. In today's column we are of­ fering several excerpts from The Nashville News of the 1920-30* era which may bring back seasonal memories for local nimrods and others.) November 22,1923 - By the tone of an .item in the Woodland News of last week, it appears that a great deal of excitement was caused by the appearance of a “wild” deer among the residents in East Carlton. The animal had been seen on several occasions in the vicinity, and on Sunday morning again made its appearance at the farm <X Allie Cheeney. It came up the lane to the barn and several of the neighbors came over to see the novel sight. The deer did not seem to be very badly frightened and it was thought that it had escaped' from some private park. However the animal was rounded up and shot on Monday, November 12, near the west line of Frank Schaibley’s farm. Game Wardens Millenbacker and Bera were in Hastings Saturday evening, and while there were given a copy of the Woodland paper con­ taining the account of the affair, and although the item did not mention the names of the parties who killed the deer, the wardens went at once to the locality where the killing took place to in­ vestigate the matter...(and) got information which led to the arrest this week of two men (one of Lansing, one of Kalamazoo). The two hunters were immediately taken into Justice Selden’s court at Hastings and pleaded guilty to the charge As late as the 1920-30s, some hunters still shipped their trophies home by rail of hunting and killing deer In 1926 the News noted that there was scarcely a morning but what a deer arrived without a license and paid at the express office in Nashville.

He is the son of Rose Crouch of Eaton Rapids and Dennis Crouch of Dimondale. Troupe members, aged 14 to 18, are recruited statewide in January. They are required to attend a number of in-depth workshops and rehearsals to prepare for their rigorous performance schedule. This past year, troupe members traveled close to 8,000 miles throughout Michigan and entertained nearly 55,000 people at more than 50 community events, fairs, festivals and celebrations. “It’s a lot of hard work,” Bart says, “but a great thrill to make others happy and meet so many nice people along the way.” The troupe’s Chicago tour was made possible by a grant through the Michigan 4-H Foundation from the National 4-H Council. The civic center performance was presented under the auspices of the Chicago Council on Fine Arts.

Tuesday, December?, 1982 — Page 6 Mr. and Mrs. James Lynch united in Vermontville Brenda Leah Musser became the bride of James Kelly Lynch on Saturday, Nov. 20, at the First Congregational Church in Vermontville. Rev. David Schreuder officiated at the 4 p.m. candlelight ceremony as the couple exchanged special vows they had written for the occasion. Brenda is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Lawrence Musser of Vermontville. Kelly is the son of Mr. and Mrs. Jim C. Lynch of Alvord, Tex. Given in marriage by her father, the bride chose a lovely white gown of chantilly lace and satin. The gown was accented by its high sheer neckline and a shoulder ruffle which gave an off the shoulder look. The bishop sleeves and bodice were satin and the full lace skirt swept gracefully into a beautiful Cathedral length train. The bride wore a lace hat accented by an attached floor length veil and net face blusher. The bride carried an arm bouquet which she made of silk roses, daisies, snapdragons, lily of the valley, and baby’s breath, all chosen to honor each bridesmaid’s first initial. Diane Priesman, sister of the bride, served as matron of honor. Bridesmaids were Sandra Hulbert of Lansing, Leslie Lyndrup of Mt. Pleasant and Beth Anne Beebe of Kalamazoo, all close friends of the bride. Rachel Granger, niece of the bride, was junior bridesmaid. Each wore matching long cerise ruffled skirts with white high neck lacy blouses, all made by the matron of honor. The girls carried white lace fans decorated with silk flowers to match the bride’s bouquet. Tommy Lynch of Snyder, Tex., brother of the groom, served as best man. Groomsmen were Chris Steph, nephew of the groom, and Larry Foreman, friend of the groom, both of Alvord, Tex.; and David Greenwood, friend from Louisville, Ky. Christopher Musser, nephew of the bride, served as junior groomsman. Ushers were Larry Musser of Sparta, brother of the bride, and Chris Steph, nephew of the groom. Preceding the bride as flower girl was Monelle Quick, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. William Quick, of Nashville. Soloist was Laura Porter of Mt. Pleasant, friend of the bride. A touching poem, written especially for the ceremony, was read by Sandra Hulbert, friend of the bride. Master and mistress of ceremonies were Mr. and Mrs. David Musser, brother of the bride. Mr. and Mrs. Charles Viele, aunt and uncle of the bride, were host and hostess of the reception held at the American Legion Hall in Charlotte. The four-tiered wedding cake, made by Serena Goodenough, was arranged in a lace gazebo. Servers of the cake were Carolyn Volmering and Karen Mulbbach, friends of the bride. Chele Steward, cousin of the bride, served punch and coffee. Special guests were the grandparents of the bride, Mr. and Mrs. Leonard Joppie and Mr. and Mrs. Dewey Musser. After a wedding trip back to Texas, the newlyweds will make their first home at 797 S. Old Orchard Lane, Apt. 2090, Lewisville, Tex. Health authority urges steps against Influenza It’s the “flu” season again and residents of the Maple y Valley area are once more being urged to take this often epidemic disease seriously, according to Dr. Edwin Larking, health officer and medical director of the Barry-Eaton District Health Department. The influenza alert is particularly important for older people and those who are vulnerable because of lung or heart diseases or diabetes. Such people should check with their physicians about being immunized by vaccines. Dr. Larkin placed em­ phasis on imfluenza’s in­ fectiousness and suggested common-sense precautions to prevent the illness from spreading. Needless ex­ posure in large groups of people should be avoided, he said. Sneezes and coughs should be covered with a handkerchief or tissue. If flu strikes a family member, those tending the patient should be sure to wash their hands and tissues should be disposed of in a paper bag that is frequently replaced. Serving food and beverages paper and plastic in disposable plates, cups and bowls, used only once then discarded, can help reduce the risks of cross-infection. When flu viruses get into the noses and mouths of susceptible persons, infection may occur, producing such symptoms as fever, chills, headache, dry cough, and aches in the back, legs and arms. 4-H lock-in scheduled A multi-county 4-H lock-in for teens (13 and older) is set for Tuesday, Dec. 28 through Wednesday, Dec. 29, bet- CHECK IST ...from Maple Leaf Florist 311 NORTH MAIN STREET, NASHVILLE, MICHIGAN □ □ □ □ □ □ Candles Holly Freshest Flowers Wreaths - All Kinds Corsages Ribbons • Bed rest for the patient is important in the treatment of flu, Dr. Larkin pointed out, along with keeping warm and drinking plenty of fluids. However, if the symptoms persist and the illness is severe, consult your family physician, he advised. “Influenza is catching” Dr. Larkin warned, “so be sure to take all steps necessary to protect family members and any others who come into contact with the patient. With proper care, we can keep influenza to a minimum in our com­ munity this year.” □ Christmas Greens □ Poinsettias □ Gifts - Biggest Selections □ Centerpieces Remember 852-9610 The Flower■ Number You Con Coll Anytime!

Now’s the time to make sure you’ve equipped, maintained and planned to use your fireplace firewisely; after all, you don’t want to use your whole house as a Yule log! Fireplace safety begins with equipment. Fortunately, the very equipment that keeps a fireplace safe tends to increase its energy efficiency as well.. Of course, you need a strong grate to hold your logs in place. Today there are logholders that not only keep logs from rolling about but which blow heated air back into the house. The other important piece of fire safety equipment is a screen. Chain-mail and glass screens are both effective in keeping sparks from flying into the room but glass screens are more energy efficient. (If you’re using one of the forced-air grates, you’ll want a chain screen so that the hot air may move into your room, though!) For full protection against sparks, it’s a good idea to install a fireproof rug outside the fireplace. Rugs, which are as ornamental as they are effective, are available through fireplace stores. Maintenance is the next key to fireplace safety — and fireplace safety equals chimney safety. Make sure your flue is in good condition, well-lubricated and easy to operate, of course. It’s bad business to start a fire with the flue closed, to say the least. Periodic chimney main­ tenance is vital because a layer of flammable, oily creosote builds up inside a chimney after many uses. This residue not only cuts the chimney’s internal size and effective draft, but can be ignited — and chimney fires are no laughing matter. You can’t clean a chimney yourself. Even the most dedicated home handyman must bite the bullet and hire a chimney sweep. How do you fight a chimney fire? From the inside. Using a large dry chemical fire extinguisher, after the fire in the fireplace has been extinguished, fire the extinguisher up the chimney. The chimney fire’s updraft will suck extinguishing powder up the chimney’s full height. All the same, it’s a good idea to call the fire department, too, for a chimney fire is no laughing matter. It can ignite ad­ jacent walls, ceilings and roofing and cause a chimney to collapse. Finally, to make your fireplace safe, you must use it correctly. Care in starting has a lot to do with that. If you use a built-in gas starter, be sure you have a long, lighted wick or match near the gas jet before you turn on the gas. Otherwise you risk a allowing hazardous amount of gas to build up. If you use kindling and newspapers, make sure your screen is in place. Those newspapers can swirl around quite a bit if there’s a change in the draft. Finally, never try to beef up a slow fire by squirting lighter fluid or another flammable liquid into it. Flame can race up the liquid stream and detonate the can in your hand faster than you might expect.

Nashville Tuesday December 7, 1982 — Page 12 Brighten your holidays with outdoor lighting To light the outdoors safely for the holidays, use only cords, plugs, sockets and light bulbs that are designed for outdoor use. Lights labelled for indoor use are not weather-proof, says Dick Pfister, Extension safety engineer at Michigan State University. They are not designed to tolerate the extremes of temperature and exposure to moisture that outdoor lights may be subject to. Before using them, check strings of outdoor lights for cracked insulation, exposed wires or loose sockets. Discard defective strings before they can cause problems. Place lights in shrubs and trees with sockets pointing downward. This will reduce the chance that water will get in bet­ ween the light bulbs and the sockets. If you are placing strings of lights around windows or doorways, use insulated staples to hold them in position. Tap staples in lightly to avoid compressing insulation. The best source of power for your outdoor lights is weather-proofed outdoor convenience outlets. If you must use an indoor outlet, avoid closing windows or doors directly on electrical cords. Drill a hole through a board, runa cord through the hole and close a window snugly on the board. Weatherstrip all sides of the board to minimize heat loss around it. If you must use extension cords, waterproof all con­ nections by wrapping with electrician’s tape. Or cover them with plastic wrap or rubber film and secure the wrap with tape. For an extra margin of safety, keep all electrical connections off the wet ground. Indoors or out, avoid overloading household electrical circuits. At the least, this will result in a succession of blown fuses or tripped circuit breakers. At the worst, it could -lead to a home fire loss. Use a wooden ladder rather than a metal one when you are working with electricity, Pfister adds. A metal ladder in­ creases the potential for electric shock to occur. Eaton County Sheriff Dept, to handle Vermontville dispatch The Vermontville Fire Department wishes to an­ nounce that as of November 22, 1982, the Eaton County Sheriff Department will be handling the dispatching duties of the Vermontville Fire Department, including both fire and ambulance services. It is important to remember that the emergency number for these services will remain 726­ 0620. All non-emergency calls should be directed to Ken Frith at 726-0589 during the hours of 7 a.m. and 7 p.m. This is the number of Kent’s Standard Service.

Floors in the farrowing and nursery areas can drop to 50 degrees F. or lower. Piglets are unable to control or maintain their body temperature in this en­ vironment which predisposes them to in­ fections, reduces appetite, milk intake and growth. Floor temperatures can be maintained' at 90 degrees to 95 degrees F. through the use of heat lamps or floor heating sources. The sow can be vaccinated for TGE and E. coli scours prior to farrowing to protect the newborn pig through her colostrum. Read the label instructions carefully to ensure proper use and dosage amounts. Vaccines for E. coli should contain the three pathogenic strains that cause problems (K88, K99,987P). Pneumonia can be treated successfully if early, adequate, and per­ sistent levels of antiobiotics are maintained. Contact your local veterinarian or the Extension office.

Tuesday, December 7, 1982 — Page 14 Some winter damage to plants can be prevented by Allen Krizek, County Ext. Director Winter can be rough on landscape plants, especially species that aren’t native to Michigan. Some types of damage can be prevented, however, and fall’s the time to do it. Harold Davidson, Ex­ tension horticulture specialist at Michigan State University, says among the most common types of damage is freezing, frost crack, desiccation (severe drying out of the foliage) and Attention Seniors A representative of the Eaton County Senior Citizens Office will be available to meet with seniors by ap­ pointment in several locations in Eaton County depending on demand. Seniors who have questions concerning such things as Social Security, Medicare, in-home help, taxes or home weatherization can make an appointment to meet with the coordinator at the following locations: City Hall in Potterville, first Tuesday of the month; Community Room in Sun­ field, second Wednesday of the month; Municipal Building, Bellevue, third Tuesday of the month; Community Center, Olivet, third Thursday of the month. The coordinator can be available at those locations by prior appointment. For appointments, call 543-6075. physical breakage. Homeowners can prevent or minimize some types of damage by shading plants, shielding them against heavy snow loads and flying salt spray, and wrapping. Freezing injury to woody plants most commonly af­ fects species or varieties that are not completely hardy in northern climates. It may kill only the flowers and shoots, the roots or the whole plant. The best way to prevent freezing injury is to plant only species and cultivars known to be hardy here. Injury by late spring frost can sometimes be prevented by shading plants. Keeping the warming rays of the sun off the plants can delay bud break by five to ten days. This may be long enough to avoid damage to tender flowers and shoots. It is practical only with selected small plants, however. Frost crack, or “southwest disease”, usually affects young, thin-barked trees, particularly young, newly transplanted maple trees. The bark splits when a bright, sunny winter day is followed by a rapid drop in temperature. The outer bark cools and contracts faster than the inner tissues and splits open, usually on the southwest side. Planting species that are not prone to the problem and wrapping or shading the trunks of newly transplanted trees can reduce the incidence of frost crack. Desiccation is most common 'in broadleaved evergreens, though it can occurr in narrow-leaved evergreens and even on the shoot tips of deciduous species. It occurs on bright, sunny winter days. The sun warms the foliage, which then loses moisture to the surrounding dry air. Because the ground is frozen, the roots cannot take up moisture to replace it and the foliage or shoot dries out. Plant sensitive plants where a building, a fence or other plants will shade them in the winter or construct sun shields on the south and west sides of plants to prevent this injury. Making sure plants go into winter well watered also helps. Damage caused by drif­ ting salt spray from highway deicing efforts look much like desiccation. Some species — including white pine, red pine and ar­ borvitae, red oak and crabapples — are very sensitive to salt injury. Burlap or canvas screens can protect them against salt spray. Planting salt tolerant species including blue spruce, Austrian pine and honeylocust — is another option. Physical damage to plants can occur in the form of branches broken by a heavy load of snow or ice, heaving of young plants, and mechanical injury from snow removal equipment. Wrapping with twine or chicken wire may be all the support some plants need. Others may require more elaborate wood or metal snow shields. Avoiding NEW YEAR’S EVE DANCE FIRE BARN ... in Nashville 8 p.m. to 2:30 a.m Music by . . . “Party Down B.Y.O.B. .. with lots of extras .. SPONSORED BY THE NASHVILLE AMBULANCE SERVICE plants known for their tendency to break in storms and pruning trees when young to eliminate weak, Vshaped crotches will reduce the likelihood of breakage. To prevent heaving of newly transplanted young plants on clay or clay-loafn soils, delay planting until spring or mulch fall planted trees and shrubs after the soil has frozen to prevent its alternately freezing and thawing. This can push the plants’ roots out of the ground. To reduce damage by snow removal equipment, plant trees and shrubs some distance from snowplowing routes. Clearly mark the location of small plants that might be hiden by a blanket of snow. ’ “The best time to prevent winter damage to landscape plants is before you plant,” Davidson sums up. “At that point, you can still choose a hardy plant and a suitable planting site that minimizes the need for winter protection. For plants already in place, prevention is the best approach — there is no cure for dead or severely damaged plants.

Tuesday December 7 1982 — Page 16 Year-end planning extends beyond taxes from your assets to find your net worth. If you compare this year’s figure to last year's and find you’re not any better off, a realistic look at your spending habits might be in order. Your next step, CPAs note, is reviewing your budget. Using your 1982 budget and estimates of your expenses for 1983, set up a practical budget for the first quarter of the new year. Or, if you didn’t have a budget last year, add up what you spent during the Last three months of 1982 for necessities, such as food and clothing, tran­ sportation and utility bills, as well as the cost of en­ tertainment and recreation. Now decide where your expenses might increase or decrease. For example, if you entertain often during the holidays, you probably spent more on food than you usually would. That amount should be reduced for the next few months. Or, if predictions are for a colder than normal January, you might have to increase your allotment for heating bills. More important than seasonal adjustment of your budget, CPAs stress, is a If you’ve been planning how to reduce your 1982 federal income tax bill, don’t quit while you're ahead. Now is also a good time to review your entire financial situation, says the Michigan Association of CPAs. Your net worth should increase from year to year. So before you start making New Year's resolutions to control your spending more tightly, evaluate your budgets for spending and saving. Draw tg> a detailed plan for good money management First determine your current net worth. Not only will this tell you the amount of money you have for in­ vestments and acquisitions, but it will also reveal whether you're increasing or decreasing in value. To find this figure, first list your assets. They include real estate, cash in savings and checking accounts, bonds and certificates, stock holdings, home furnishings, clothing and autos or boats. Then list your liabilities which include debt or loan payments, taxes due, and rent or mortgage payments. Subtract your liabilities reassessment of your priorities and use of available funds. Say, for instance, that you borrowed continuously from your food money or savings to pur­ chase clothing. If buying clothing is a priority need right now, you should in­ crease your clothing allowance. But, CPAs warn, if your spending habits disregard your budget completely, you might have underbudgeted all your needs. Allow some money for unexpected ex­ penses, to take advantage of sales, emergencies, and the occasional impulse pur­ chase. But be sure to include a set amount for savings. Once your budget is complete, plan to invest the money you will save. Set goals for yourself and remember, whether it’s for eventual purchase of a home, or just a growing nest egg, your money should never be dormant. Investigate savings accounts, as well as other investment opportunities to find one that suits your liquidity needs and provides the best in­ terest or return. Your planning should encompass present, future and long term needs, CPAs say. Review your plans for retirement, educational needs of your children, life insurance coverage, and estate planning.

Director w wa wSa w wS M SiM S % S SX X J»b S& W n n* The difference between a pleasant fire in the fireplace, one that starts easily, burns brightly and provides plenty of heat, and one that smokes or pops and offers’little heat lies largely in the wood you use, how dry it is and how you build the fire. Foresters for the Eaton County Cooperative Ex­ tension Service point-out that seasoned (dry), heavy hardwoods — such as oak, hickory, locust, hard maple, walnut, - beech, and yellow and white birch — generally burn slower and provide more heat per cord when burned in a fireplace than softwoods or lighter hard­ woods. Light, quick burning hardwoods include aspen, basswood and cottonwood. Cherry, elm, hackberry, soft maple, boxelder and sycamore fall in between. Though -less desirable than the denser Woods for burning in a fireplace, these can be very satisfactory when used in an airtight stove, where the draft and the rate of burning can be controlled — NOTICE — Castleton Township Taxpayers Sw < lift >< > ‘S Ifc.

Softwoods — including balsam fir, pines, spruces and hemlock — produce less heat per cord. They are quick to catch fire and make good kindling. Among the hardwoods, well dried aspen, birch and willow are also easy to start. When these woods are freshly cut, however, they contain large amounts of water. Beech, locust and fruitwoods are especially difficult to split but offer high heat values. The most important factor in obtaining higher heat values from any fuelwood is the efficiency of the wood­ burning device and the preparation and dryness of the wood. . To get a good fire going, start with dry, finely split material. Add larger, slower burning logs, after the flue is warmed — this will create a natural updraft and prevent unnecessary smo smoking. ng. Even ven after the fire is going well, overloading it — especially with green or wet wood — will cause excessive smoke, sb ■^Ma® JkiS i li JJU* Wta ,’Wlli ffc*k^ Mffcw’ iWkfc, S.tl S.tl**i **i » » t *Wh M «5liSfeft HM® iWtM ^■■nfc bMh Bifcfafti isr,il« felUii Wi a'MsW i fa ft; Ik &nil®(> BS8;fe?et MNIKIi ffiii: fa * staft4 iiW tdkMk rit,W» । Bs.

The 7:30 p.m. event will be held at the Assembly of God on Reed Street, with the address being delivered by Rev. Loenard Putnam of the United Methodist Church. The service will include special holiday music by choir members of the various participating churches. The public is in­ vited to attend. “The First Christmas” is the title of a cantata to be presented at 4 p.m. Sunday, Decmeber 19, by the United Methodist choir at the local UM church. The public is cordially invited to attend the performance. The adult choir of Nash­ ville Baptist Church will present a holiday cantata. “An Old Fashioned Christmas,” complete with special costumes, during the 11 a.m. Sunday service, December 19. The per­ formance is under the direction of Mrs. Janet De Groot. During evening services that same day, children of the church will present their annual Christmas program. That event starts at 7 p.m. At the Nashville Church of the Nazarene, the annual Christmas program by theSunday School depart­ ment is set for 11 a.m. Sunday, December 19. Youths age 12-29 of the Church of the Nazrene will be out in the community, Christmas caroling on the evening of December 15. Due to lack of a supplier, plans by the Nashville Christian Academy to sell Christmas trees again this year had to be cancelled. Last year, sale of the evergreens served as a fund­ raiser for the K-12 school at the local Church of the Nazarene. The Senior High depart­ ment of Nashville Baptist Church will be Christmas caroling on Wednesday evening, December 22, starting at 7 p.m. They also will be delivering Christmas baskets to families in the community. Later, the group will gather at the Com­ munity Center building in Putnam Park for refresh­ ments and games.

All village employee will have those days off as their official holiday, since both Christ­ mas and New Years fall on Saturday this year. The Nashville Village Council, at their meeting Thursday, approved a Christmas bonus of $20 scrip for each village employee. The scrip is spendable at any Nashville store.

Mrs. John (Ruth) Hughes is chairperson of the 1982 Christmas basket project. A letter from June Brown Potter, wintering at Donna, Texas, expressed her ap­ preciation for the recent Memories story, on the an­ nual Junior-Senior Hunt at Nashville High School. The article evoked special memories for Mrs. Potter, who was a member of NHS Class of 1930. Her class, while juniors, found the seniors, which was “very rare,” according to June. “I was the leader of the team that found them,” she noted. “I had (to cover) the buildings from Lentz Table factory to and including the Co-op elevator,” she ex­ plained. ““The The week proceeding the Hunt I got permission to examine the buildings with an eye for possible hiding spots. On the night of the Hunt, in checking out the old creamery (on Sherman Street), I noticed that the empty butter tubs stored upstairs looked different from when I had seen them before. My team got busy moving tubs and it payed off, for there were the seniors and we were treated to a banquet. The next year as seniors we were not found, so had another delightful meal.” Mrs. Potter wonders if any other NHS class had the honor of earning two successive banquets in the traditional Junior-Senior Hunt. If so, we would like to hear about it. Another recent delight for Mrs. Potter came with the arrival of her weekly Maple Valley News. “In the November 30th Memories, lo and behold, there was a picture of my old home on South Main. What a wonderful surprise.” Bonnie Roush of Nashville lost five and one-half pounds •.

A number of assists were given during the month to various law en­ forcement agencies: five to Barry County Sheriff’s Dept.; three to Eaton County; two to the State Dept, of Corrections; two to Charlotte.police and one to Hastings. The Nashvile officers made four arrests during November; issued three moving violation citations and five parking tickets. Among the com­ plaints handled during November were five lar­ cenies; three open doors; four suspicious person reports; one malicious destruction to property; two bad chekcs; one attempted breaking and entering; and one breaking and entering. The Nashville police cruiser was driven a total of 2,490 miles during the month, using 272 gallons of gasoline. . A concern of the Nashville Lions Club about the barrierfree accessibility of Nash­ ville’s Main Street sidewalks to handicapped persons was voiced Thursday at the village council meeting by Orvin Moore, a director of the local club. He said the lions organization is willing to fund a portion off construction of curb ramps. Village President John Hughes asked DPW Supervisor Leon Frith to meet with Lion Club representative to determine the present status and additonal need of such im­ provements. At the time of this report, Mrs. Gloria Johncock of Nashville was still confined to Blodgett Hospital in Grand Rapids but hoped to return home within a few days, as she continued to improve.

Mrs. Mike (Julie Reid) Hamilton ofNashville will be feted at a baby shower at 7 p.m. Thursday, December 16, at Nashville Baptist Church. The passing of Marty Robbins in Nashville, Tenn., Wednesday, brought saddness to his fans in Nashville, Michigan, many of whom had enjoyed his Mother’s Day performance at Sandyland Park here. Park owner Sandy Salyers said that show was the best attened of any since the opening of Sandyland Park in May 1978. Robbins, who has been popular country­ western performer and songwriter since the 1950s, “loved people,” according to Salyers, who was acquainted with the Grand Old Opry star and had been kept advised about Robbin’s condition by aides. Robbins, 57, died after heart surgery at St. Thomas Hospital in Nashville. Perhaps best known for his hit record, “El Paso,” Robbins was slated to return here on Mother’s Day 1983 for another performance at Sandyland Park. Mrs. Mildred Hill of Charlton Park Road was a Saturday supper guest of Mrs. Veda Shull of Nashville. Sunday callers at the Shull home were Mr. and Mrs. Howard Burchett of Dowling. Christmas vacation at Maple Valley schools commences at the end of the schoiol day Friday, December 17. Classes will resume on Monday, January 3, 1983. At Nashville Christian Academy, Christmas vacation starts Wednesday, December 22, and concludes on January 3, when school reconvenes. Mrs. Eliza Emery of Nash­ ville was a Thanksgiving Day dinner guest of her son and family, Mr. and Mrs. Wesley Emery and children of Hastings. Mr. and Mrs. Blair Hawblitz and his mother, Mrs. Fern Hawblitz, all of Nashville; and little Stacey Hawblitz of Vermontville returned home Sunday after a 10-day trip to New Mexico where they visited the Blair Hawblitzes’ son and fmaily, Mr. and Mrs. Kenneth Hawblitz and daughter of Albuquerque. While there they also called on Fern’s sister and brother-in-law, Dorothy and Vern Bera, who are former local residents. (Vern was mentioned in last week’s Memories of the Past about early Nashville deer hunters.) Before returning to Michigan, the travellers enjoyed stops at Carlsbad Caverns in New Mexico and at El Paso, Texas, where they found five inches of snow. En route home through Missouri they en­ countered the steady rainfall which contributed to the recent flooding there. ACTION-ADS FOR RENT: 3 beddroom house in Nashville, $215 per month.

A photogram is a shadowgram made in the darkroom by placing opaque objects on a sheet of photographies paper, ex* posing the paper to the enlarger light, and then processing it. The resulting print will have a dark background and a silhouette of the objects in white. The photographic technique of “photograms” was a recent project in Miss Martin’s seventh grade art class at Maple Valley. Students learned to mix photo chemicals, set up a darkroom and different methods of exposure. The most critical part of this project was the selection of subject matter, said Miss Martin. The best type of subject matter for a photogram are flat nature objects. Students made prints using leaves, feathers, transparent insect wings, weeds, and grasses. Since a negative is not used, image degradation is Student Council sponsors canned goods drive held to a minimum and enlargements produced by this method will have superb sharpness and faithfully reveal the most minute detail, she said. When the 8”xl0” photos were washed and dried, they were mounted on mat board for display in the showcase outside room B-14. Highly successful prints were made by the following students: Lisa Shumaker, Jody Landis, Scott Lenz, Scott Scramlin, Matt Ewing, Michelle Schantz, Danielle Burg, Derek Myall and Robbie Norton. It is the opinion of Miss Martin that “No other two­ dimensional art form so readily lends itself to working directly with the visual design elements as does this medium. This medium encourages ex­ ploration and lively student participation. It has been my own observation that sur­ prises inherent in this ac­ tivity will trigger the interest of all students.” The Maple Valley Senior High Student Council is sponsoring its annual canned goods drive among all students in grades 7-12 during the week Of December 13-17.

Wolcott building. The total valuation of Castleton Township, ac­ cording to the assessment roll, is $853,205. Taxes $5,232. Village taxes are light, heaviest assessment only $91.80. The value of Nash­ ville, according to the assessor’s roll, is $334,835, of which $258,765 is real estate, the balance personal. The roll provides for the raising of $3,027.88 for the village expenses. And still the demand for tenement houses keeps up. We understand that several of the taxpayers will refuse to pay their taxes on the grounds of a defective (village) charter. As these gentlemen have money and are abundantly able to pay not only their taxes but the expenses ofa law suit, no one should deny them their fun. (1982 note: These taxpayers did indeed sue, but lost. They were a number of farmers owning land on the outskirts of the village and doubtless desiring to relieve them­ selves from payment of certain taxes, took steps to overthrow the incorporation of the village. The case was brought to trial in May 1883, and the circuit court ruled in favor of the corporation. The case was then appealed to the state supreme court, where it was argued in January 1884, and in March a decision was rendered favorable to the village. “Now the tax-grumblers will have to walk up and pay their taxes, also several hundred dollars extra for luxuries, in the shape of expensive law suits,” noted the News.) 75 YEARS AGO Items taken from the Nash­ ville News of December 19, 1907.

December 14, 1982 — Page 5 Michigan applesThe “Big Four” of Michigan apples are Jonathon, Ida Red (Idared), McIntosh and Delicious. Though Michigan produces many other varieties, these four account for the majority of the apple crop grown in the state. The big four are con­ sidered all-purpose apples. This means they can be used for cooking, eating, raw, salads and applesauce. Of the four, McIntosh are the poorest keepers and Idareds are the best keepers. Apples should be kept in a cold, moderately moist environment. This means a temperature between 30 and 32 degrees and a relative humidity of around 85 per­ cent. If stored under these conditions, apples will keep eight weeks or longer. Apples can be stored in the crisper drawer of the refrigerator or in a moisture­ resistant container, such as a plyethylene bag which has a few ventilation holes cut in it. Apples can be stored in the refrigerator for a maximum of three weeks. Do not freeze whole ap­ ples. Freezing will lower their quality. Most people today do not have access to a root cellar, so trying to store apples in large quantities is not worth the gamble. You may be investing more than you will get back. Modern cold storage and controlled atmosphere (CA) techniques permit us to enjoy fresh, crisp apples almost all year round. Buying apples by the three- pound bag, depending on your family size and usage, is probably the most cost­ effective way to buy them. Apple Facts — Apples are a good source of some vitamins and fiber and are low in sodium. — One medium apple (2^ to 2% inches in diameter) has 80 calories. — Three medium apples — two cups sliced apples. Mace Pharmacy — Eight to nine medium apples are needed for a nineinch pie. Holiday Tip When slicing apples to serve on a cheese and fruit tray, sprinkle the apples with pineapple juice to help keep them from darkening. Pineapple juice is more effective than lemon juice and also adds a more compatible flavor. Cooper Upholstery 207 N.

Hall, Dec. 6, to award-badges and recognize the scouts’ ac­ complishments. Awards Chairman Tom Reed, Scoutmaster Ken Meade and Assistant Scoutmaster Don Steinbrecher handed out 23 skill awards, 32 merit badges and 16 advancements. Nick Priddy, the newest scout, earned his scout badge; Randy Bishop and John Clifford earned Ten­ derfoot; George Steinbrecher, Richard Meade and Danny Kellogg advanced to second class; Scott Reid, Matt Peake, Kenny Meade and Kenny Bishop are now first class scouts; Brian Gillum, Robert Kessler ,and Richard Perrier are star scouts. Senior Patrol Leader George Steinbrecher opened the meeting with a salute to the flag with each scout taking part in the opening. Guests of the troop in­ cluded Norman and Barbara Sandbrook and David and Claudia Finkler. Mr. and Mrs. Sandbrook were presented a poinsettia, a thank you for letting the troop, as well as troops from the rest of the district, use their land for access to a campsite on Hod Hull’s farm. Another poinsettia went to Mrs. Finkler, for loaning her husband to the troop for the fishing trip. Connie Meade also received a poinsettia for her work with scouts. At each Court of Honor, the troop awards a gift cer­ tificate to the scout who earned the most points by attending meetings, activities and earning badges. This time it had been longer between courts, so four certificates were awarded. Kenny Bishop logged 1,965 points for top honors, followed by Scott Reid at 1,790, Richard Meade at 1,655 and George Steinbrecher at 1,620. The rest of the troop had between 730 for the newest scout, Nick Priddy, and Danny Kellogg at 1,595. The troop went to Canada in August for a week of fishing and camping. Matt Peake, Richard Perrier and John Clifford were presented with a tackle box for cat­ ching the biggest fishes on their homemade lures that week. On the hike over the orienteering course in Yankee Springs, back in October, George Steinbrecher and Scott Reid finished first and were presented flashlights for consulting their maps after dark. Richard Perrier and John Clifford serve the Cub Scout program by being den chiefs. They received shoulder braids noting this position. Scoutmaster Meade congratulated the scouts for their efforts and on their achievements and thanked the parents for attending while Don Steinbrecher readied his films of Cub Scout campouts past and the recent fishing trip. The films surprised the scouts by showing how much they’ve grown and learned in a few short years through the scouting program. The V.F.W. was thanked for the use of their hall and spon­ sorship. A potluck supper preceded the honors ceremony. “Ring louder, ye bells of the Christmas-tide, Ye heralds re-echo it far and wide; Tell out to the nations again and again, The gospel of “Peace,„ goodwill unto men.. men...” — by A.

Much credit is due Mrs. Hildred Peabody, director, and Mrs. Dorothy Carpenter, accompanist, and Mr. Doug Kelsey, narrator. The Maple Valley gym was filled to overflowing Sunday at 3 p.m. by parents and friends who came to enjoy the Christmas concert by the Sixth Grade Band, Junior Band, Senior Choir and Senior Band. Duane Thatcher, director, received gifts for his fine work in this department of our school. I understand the Bible Church had a 6 p.m. cantata which I’m sure again was lovely, but I’m sorry I can’t report on that one. To fill out the day, the cantata “An Old-Fashioned Christmas” was [resented at a 7 p.m. service at the Congregational Church. Some special parts were taken by Bill Kipp as host, Polly Cook as Elizabeth, Edith Swartz as Grand­ mother, Brandy Wawiernia as Emily, with choir dir­ ector Jill Booher and Norma Viele and Kathy Murphy as accompanists. Solos were sun by Bill Mason, Jane Schreuder, Randy Hankins and Jill Booher. Lovely refresh­ ments were served later in the Griswold Room to a capacity crowd. Mr. and Mrs. Jack Garlinger and two children of East Leroy visited Mr. and Mrs. Mel Kivela Sunday and attended the evening cantata. Mrs. Ardis Briggs of Ionia visited her mother, Mrs. Hermina Southern, Sunday and attended the cantata. The children’s choir also sang “Tell the Story of Jesus”. All in all it was a beautiful day and the weatherman cooperated with a nice day instead of eight inches of snow as we had last year. Mr. and Mrs. Bob Starring, Jeff and Beth entertained the Starring relatives from Battle Creek and Nashville at a Christmas reunion Sunday. Mrs. Mary Shaw spent Sunday evening and night with Mrs. Ava Kroger and attended the band concert and cantata.

The win was the first for the Lions who lost their opener to Middleville last week. A 50 percent field goal shooting performance in the first half enabled the Lions to pump out to an early lead and maintain the advantage throughout the contest. But Valley had to hold off several Oriole charges. The Lions came back flat after the half. They missed several field goals and lacked defensive intensity. The lapse allowed Charlotte the scoring opportunities they had been waiting for. The Lions held a slim 42-38 lead by the end of the third quarter.

FREE �N.A.H.S. sponsors art exhibit The Maple Valley High School chapter of the National Art Honor Society is sponsoring an art exhibit December 13-17. The exhibit is unique because the artwork on display in room B-14 was done by art students from Charlotte High School’s art department. Maple Valley students in return will be having their work exhibited at Charlotte High School. The art exchange was organized by N.A.H.S. President Tracy Symonds and Vice President Kari Kraai. Ten artifacts created in Miss Martin’s Art I, II and III classes at Maple Valley were chosen for exhibit. They included oil paintings, pastels, ink drawings and pencil drawings. In preparation for this exhibit, students gained experience matting and framing their work. “The idea to view other students’ creative endeavors is what prompted this ex­ change. Display of students’ work in the home as well as in the school is important as From our readers An Open Letter to the Parents and Taxpayers of the Maple Valley School District: Since my election as trustee last June, I have found a common denominator as to the dif­ ficulty surrounding the seemingly thankless task of helping to operate our school system — LACK OF COMMUNICATION and UNDERSTANDING! It’s easy to sit back and point an accusing finger at the board, the ad­ ministration, the faculty or the taxpayers, when in fact it is a combination of all four of these groups that add up to the sum of the problems. There are far too many negative thoughts and negative actions now. There is no doubt we do have problems, but with com­ munication and cooperation we can overcome these difficulties. We must remember the reason that we have a board of education, administrators, teachers and school taxes — to formally educate our children and assist them in becoming productive citizens in society. At the last several meetings there has been some discussion as to “public relations and communication’’, but no official action as yet. This is my attempt to help bridge that communication gap. As a trustee, I feel a responsibility to the parents and taxpayers to do what is necessary to inform you and be informed by you. There are many good and positive things in our school now; parents that do care, teachers that do care, ad­ ministrators that do care, board members that do care and students that do care. All the necessary ingredients are alive and well in Maple Valley to produce an excellent school system — all we need to do is get together and talk. I am extending a personal invitation to all of you to become informed — express your thoughts, questions or comments; attend board meetings, P.T.O. meetings, and other school functions; write a letter to the board; make phone calls. Let us know what’s on your mind. Sincerely, Dave Hawkins Trustee Maple Valley Board of Education part of the development of healthy self-appraisal in which the student’s work becomes the means of building his-her self­ esteem,” said Miss Martin. “An appreciation of art does not occur by simply visiting an art museum. Learning takes place when students view and study artwork done by their peers,” she said. The student body and faculty are invited to stop by the art room to view this exhibit. Farm couple workshop set “Ready for Results” is the title of a management workshop for young farm couples being sponsored by the Extension Service.

The workshops will be held at Kardel Hall located on the Charlotte fairgrounds on January 13, 20, 27 and February 3, from 10 a.m. until 3 p.m. Lunch will be provided at the first session, with the remaining lunches to be planned potlucks.

That’s the message of a growing movement for safety and sanity in the way Americans decorate their homes for the holidays. Here are fire-wise tips for displaying your family tree this season. If you plan to use a live tree, remember that you’re inviting a highly flammable object into your home and take special precautions. When buying a real tree, insist on a recently cut, fresh specimen. Trees with brown, shedding needles can be rejected at once. If a tree looks green and healthy, take a long needle and bend it between your thumb and. forefinger. If it snaps, the tree is too dry. Look for one whose needles bend and spring back. Use a tree stand that supports the trunk in water and keep the water level up with daily inspection and topping off. Never mind how early in the season it is; if a tree turns brown and starts to lose needles, it’s time to get rid of it. That brown color means the tree is drying out and could be easily ignited by the heat of the lights. It’s because of problems like this that more and more Americans switch to ar­ tificial trees.each year.

Some people prefer the silvery, aluminum trees. Keep in mind that these metal trees are electrically conductive, so do not decorate them with any electrical product, whether a string of lights or an elec­ tronic singing ornament. The metal can cause a short and a fire -- or simply become “hot” and deliver a nasty shock to unsuspecting people. Light an aluminum tree with a detached color wheel. Green artificial trees can be lit like real trees but use caution before decorating with large conventional 09 or C7‘/2 bulbs. Very old ar­ tificial trees and some of the newer, soft-needle types cannot endure the heat of these bulbs and will melt and exude an unpleasant odor in the vicinity of the bulbs. Miniature lights of all descriptions are available fdr these trees; one can also switch to new, cool burning, energy saving bulbs in the traditional C9 or C7‘/2 sizes. Never use candles or open flames on an artificial tree, as many plastics give off toxic gases when burned. It’s also a good idea not to leave lights on for long periods when no one is at home. Whatever kind of tree you use, the possibility of light failure and consequent electrical fire exists. Many families use traditional Christmas lighting that has been in the family for years, is used each season and put away without a second thought. Inspect light strings and electrical decorations carefully for loose cords, cracked sockets and other hazards before use. Have a merry and fire-safe holiday!

Advert i«»mt*nt Afraid You're Going Deaf? (NASHVILLE) - A free offer of special interest to those who have trouble hearing has been announc­ ed by Beltone. A non-operating model of one of the smallest Beltone aids will be given absolutely free to anyone answering this advertisement. Send for this non-operating model, put it on and wear it in the privacy of your own home. While many people with a hearing loss will not receive any significant benefit from any hearing aid, this non-working model will show you how tiny hearing help can be, and it’s yours to keep, free. The actual aid weighs less than a fourth of an ounce, and it's all at ear level, in one unit. These models are free, so we suggest you write for yours now. Again, we repeat, there is no cost, and certainly no obligation. Thousands have already been mailed, so write today to Beltone Hearing Ard Service, 919 E. Fulton, Grand Rapids, Mi. 49503.

A DURING OUR BIG What’s cooking in Michigan by Margaret G. McCall, Michigan Department of Agriculature There’s something extra special about a Christmas gift if you make it yourself. •,’Wb Mtr,hw| Si^WBrtdbjlheritafc ■c as 4 ta h <f? Im i tatamfatlilti wnhrSJlppiljiipn o x’rtG.tawtai ^KLFiHail^ l ttulMtonid iGWupW^ ,-;,•? ir>’iK«iri' uiitawjW® W®” And there’s still time to prepare delicious homemade candies for Christmas gift­ giving. One of the major ingredients in candymaking, of course, is a familiar Michigan agricultural product - sugar. Our state ranks fifth in the nation in sugar beet production, and the Michigan Department of Agriculture reports that Michigan farmers harvested more than two million tons of sugar beets last year. Processing factories are located in Michigan’s ‘sugar bowl’ (the Saginaw Valley­ Thumb area). You needn’t be a professional candymaker to impress your friends and neighbors with Divinity and Sprigs O’ Holly. For Divinity, combine in heavy saucepan 3 cups Michigan sugar, 3/4 cup light corn syrup and '/2 cup water. Boil until candy ther­ mometer registers 248 degrees, or small amount of syrup forms a hard ball when dropped into cold water. Remove from heat, let stand without stirring until temperature has dropped to 220 degrees (about 7 minutes). Whip 2 large egg whites to soft peak stage. Add syrup gradually in fine stream. Add one teaspoon vanilla, continue beating 20 to 25 minutes, or until mixture starts to lose its gloss. Stir in 1 cup chopped Michigan black walnuts, if you wish. Drop from teaspoon onto waxed paper. Top each with a bit of maraschino cherry. Sprigs O’ holly is a recipe I received from a friend about 20 years ago. She piled them high in a giant brandy snifter on the coffee table, and visitors thought they were ceramic, they are so glossy. You can use them, too, to ring a cakeplate or as a garnish for other foods. Here’s the recipe: Melt one-quarter pound of Michigan Grade A butter and 40 large marshmallows in top of double boiler. Add one teaspoon vanilla, two teaspoons of green food coloring. Remove from heat, quickly stir in 5 cups corn­ flakes until coated. Drop by teaspoons on waxed paper, decorate with a few red cinnamon candies, and allow to dry for 24 hours. Besides being pretty to look at, Sprigs O’ Holly are less rich than most candy, and kids love them. WIN YOUR CHRISTMAS TURKEY!

Phone 543-0733 UNEMPLOYMENT COMPENSATION REFORM - If the Michigan Legislature cannot agree on an unemployment compensation reform package soon, businesses across the state will be saddled with steep penalty taxes by the federal government to pay back an estimated $2.2 billion the state owes Washington. Roadblocks in the proposed bail-out package include questions about co-pay by workers, a oneweek waiting period for eligibility, and added costs to businesses that historically lay off workers more than most. Both Governor Milliken and Governor-elect Blanchard are working hard to finalize a suitable and fair package by the end of the current legislative session which is scheduled to adjourn this week. LUNAR ECLIPSE WILL AFFECT WATER LEVELS The University of Michigan reports that a lunar eclipse will occur over the eastern portion of the United States beginning at 4:50 a.m. on December 30. The eclipse is caused when the earth’s orbit travels directly between the sun and the moon, casting a giant shadow over the surface of the moon. The eclipse will last until 5:58 a.m. Great Lakes water levels will increase, due to the tidal force alteration caused by the eclipse, but only fractionally. In areas where unusually large tides occur daily, like the Bay of Funday between Nova Scotia and New Brunswick, the tidal effect of the eclipse will increase water levels dramatically, according to U of M astronomers. COLLEGE AID STILL AVAILABLE - The U.S. Depart­ ment of Education still has plenty of grants and low-interest loans for students who anticipate enrolling in colleges next fall. Any interested students or parents can get details on the loan programs and the list of the 7,000 participating colleges and universities. A booklet, “The Student Guide: Five Federal Financial Aid Programs” is available free from the Consumer Information Center, Dept. 512K, Pueblo, Colorado, 81009. GIFT OF ISLANDS - The Consolidated Coal Company has given the State of Michigan an early Christmas present: Lime and Little Lime Islands located in the St. Mary’s River at the eastern tip of Chippewa County in the Upper Penin­ sula. The 931 acres of land will become a part of the Lake Superior State Forest and will be used for recreational purposes. The gift of the two islands will help Michigan in qualifying for federal matching funds for land acquisitions for similar purposes across the state. FERRIS STATE COLLEGE: TINKER TANK - Big Rapids’ Ferris State College is planning a new $6.1 million Manufacturing Resource and Production Center to provide technical and research assistance to medium and small businesses which cannot afford their own research and development departments, particularly in the western and northwestern portions of the state. The proposed center is affectionately referred to as the “Tinker Tank”, because it will serve a similar, but smaller scale role than the more common “think tanks” found at major universities. �The Maple Valley News, Nashville, Tuesday, December 14, 1982 | QVf Offer Good Dec. 19-21 Page 15 Open Delly 9-9; Sunday 10-8 ' mates The Saving Place On Sale Sun.-Tues. 2n n a Sw w J SLEIDC Y Km MER Our Reg. 3.97 CottonTerry Scuffs For Women GIFT SPREE Pr.

The Maple Valley News, Nashville, Vol. 111 - No. 27 - Tuesday, December 21,1982 Inspirational Cantata message Let's return to the true meaning of Christmas by Susan Hinckley An overflow crowd estimated at more than 600 seated in the main sanctuary alone, packed the Nashville Baptist Church Sunday morning to witness an in­ spirational Christmas cantata performance by the church choir. The presentation, “An OldFashioned Christmas”, directed by Mrs. Janet DeGroot, portrayed through song and word the holiday spirit of an earlier era, as seen through the eyes of 14year-old Elizabeth Fleming. Seated beside her fourposter bed in nightcap and gown, young Elizabeth — played by Lynn DeGroot — read excerpts from her diary recounting activities of a Christmas season a century ago. Assistant Pastor Don Roscoe acted as moderator of the show, having “discovered” Elizabeth’s ancient diary in a dusty attic. Attired in period costumes, the choir provided stirring background music, including a generous helping of the old, traditional Christmas carols. The message of the can­ tata was a plea to return to the old-fashioned celebration of the holiday and the true meaning of Christmas. In one part of the script, Pastor Roscoe told of con­ temporary attitudes about the holiday and related how children in Detroit had recently been asked why we celebrate Christmas. One small boy, he said, paused and then answered thoughtfully, “They haven’t told us yet.” During the play, Steven Knight portrayed a grand­ father reading the Bible story of Jesus’ birth to his grandson, played by Steven’s son, Cody. At the conclusion of the show, which won a standing The Nashville Baptist choir, attired in turn-of-thecentury clothing, offered stirring renditions of favorite Christmas carols. ovation from the preciative audience choir pleaded in song: “Give me an oldfashioned Christmas, And right from apthe the start The only thing fresh and new Will be the joy in my heart!” Santa visits with school staff Cornish and Jarman win top coloring contest awards Mrs. Santa Claus read letters from school staff members that contained requests to be filled by her husband.

Continued public support and private donations will be needed to make the proposed library improvement a reality. Plans call for the wing to be built with barrierfree access for the han­ dicapped and the restroom facilities also will be designed to accomodate wheelchairs. Churches of the Nashville community will combine for a special Christmas service Wednesday, December 22. The 7:30 p.m. event will be held at the Assembly of God on Reed Street. Rev. Leonard Putnam of the United Methodist Church will deliver the address. Holiday music will be provided by choir members of the various participating churches. The public is cordially invited to attend. The Senior High Depart­ ment of Nashville Baptist Church will be Christinas caroling on Wednesday evening, December 22, By Susan Hinckley starting at 7 p.m. They also will be delivering Christmas baskets to shut-ins and others in the community. Later the group will gather at the Community Center building in Putnam Park for refreshments and games. In observance of the Christmas and New Year holidays, the Nashville Village Hall will be closed all day Friday, Dec. 24 and Dec. 31. All village employees will have those days off as their official holidays since both Christmas and New Year’s fall on Saturday this year. A two-inch covering of snow Thursday morning helped awaken the Christ­ mas spirit in our area. Up to that point, many had com­ mented that the un­ seasonably mild weather and bare ground had failed to spark their enthusiasm for the hoHday. Thursday’s downfall was the first significant snow of the season. The first full day of winter is Wednesday, Dec. 22, and prospects look good for a white Christmas. Dinner guests at the Clarence Reids of Nashville, the Sunday after Thanksgiving, were Darrel and Karen Reid and sons Sherman and Matt; Pastor Roger and Norma Claypool, little Roger and Barbara; and Ernie and Jean Withey, all of rural Kalamo. Clarence and Margaret Reid were recent weekend visitors of their son Darwin and family, wife Norma, and children, Betsy, Darwin Allen, Danny and Andy, at Cadillac. En route home Monday the Reids stopped to visit Clarence’s brother, Earl, and wife Orpha, near Luther. Wednesday, Mr. and Mrs. Clarence Reid attended the Kellogg Retirees Christmas Party at the Valentine Center in Battle Creek. Thursday, Margaret visited her sister and family, Jean and Walter Endsley and their granddaughters Holley and Melony Thompson of Hastings. The United Methodist Builders Class will meet Wednesday, Dec. 29 for a potluck dinner at 7 p.m. at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Joe Andrews of Nashville. Mrs. Viola Beystrum, a former local resident now of Middleville, remains hospitalized at Pennock in Hastings. Mrs. Mildred Hill of Charlton Park Road was a Thursday caller on Mrs. Veda Shull of Nashville. In our mailbox last week we found letters from three former local residents, all offering comments or in­ formation relative to recent Memories accounts. First this: “Just a bit more in­ formation on the group picture of members of the cast (of the play) which was presented in 1916 by our Class of 1917. First in the back row (at left) is Earl Gibson, with the hat, who is still living in Long Beach, California. Also, Carl Nesman, the last one in the back row (at right) is living in Lansing and I, Lurah Mead Gaskell, am still living in Detroit since 1917.” She is seen fourth from the right in the front row in the large cast photo and also appears in one of the smaller group pictures which were iden­ tified in a follow-up piece in this column, thanks to the help of Mabel Ostroth Adams ofNashville. (The photos are now labeled andon display in the local history room at Putnam Public Library.) Mrs. Gaskell, who furnished her home address as 4214 Western, Detroit, 48210, wrote: “I have been a subscriber to the News since 1920... I really enjoy your column and hope you will continue it. It helps me recall memories of old friends and keep in touch with those of us who are still here.” Our second letter was from L. Day Slout, who provided a recent Memories account of his recollection as a young boy growing up in Nashville. He is wintering now at Lake Worth, Florida. Since his article appeared, we have had several inquiries about his relationship to the Vermontville Slout Players. In his letter, L. Day wrote: “L. Vern Slout was my first cousin; his father and my father were brothers. He was one of the cast of the traveling tent shows. He always opened the season each year With a show at the Vermontville Opera House. He lived across the street from the old hotel and kept his tent in the old barn back •of the hotel during the winter months.” Mr. Slout con­ tinued:: “He and his wife, Ora, passed away quite a few years ago. I also had two other cousins in Ver­ montville, BenandTva Slout. Ben was a farmer and his wife, Marjorie, was a teacher in Nashville’s Fuller School in the ’50s and ’60s.” L. Day Slout now makes his home with his cousin, Iva Annette Slout Davis, who was married to Clarke E. Davis. Both are in very good health, he writes.

Our third letter was from our faithful contributor to this column — Kenneth A. Meade of Franklin. “I was interested in Edna DeRiar Hill’s comments (in a recent column) regarding the Slout article. I thought that Charlie Dahlhouser married a Miss Beck who was a high school teacher of mechanical drawing, manual training and perhaps home economics when I was in high school (at Nashville). I believe Charlie’s mother, the wife of Phil Dahlhouser, was 0. Z. Ide’s sister. O. Z. Ide was a successful lawyer in Detroit.” Meade also wrote that it was interesting to read the names of the people identified in the junior play photos of the Class of 1917. After they were named in a subsequent piece, Meade said he recognized Dale DeVine, Gladys Mead and Pauline Miller. “All that group were seniors in high school the year I started so I never knew any of them very well except Gladys Mead, who was a second cousin of mine.” He added: “Iden­ tification of pictures like that is an interesting project and I imagine gives you con­ siderable correspondence from people away from Nashville and telephone calls from people still living there. I hope you do some more (of the photo iden­ tification projects). As yousaid, it will help with work (of labeling pictures) in the local history room at the library.” The Mayo-Evans Birthday Club enjoyed a Christmas PROFESSIONAL BUSINESS DIRECTORY AMWAY Products FOR SALE by...

Seventeen members and guest — Mary Linsley’s granddaughter, Carla — were present, After the meal, the ladies returned to the home of Mrs. Vanessa Carpenter of rural Nashville for a business meeting and Christmas gift exchange. Each member brought tree decorations as bingo prizes. The group voted to send a donation to the RememberA-Vet Fund for Christmas gifts for patients at Battle Creek Veterans Ad­ ministration Medical Center. The next meeting of the club will be March 10 at the home of Maxine Pixley, with Marion Hamilton assisting the hostess. • Christmas holiday visitors at the home of Mrs. Olith Hamilton of Nashville are her son Fred ofYorba Linda, California, who has been here since Friday, and his children, Maria and Fred, Jr., who arrived Sunday. Beth, wife of Fred, Sr., is expected to arive from California Tuesday. They will remain through Christmas. Fred, Sr., a former local resident and 1955 NHS grad, came here via Montreal, Canada, where he had been on business for his employer, McDonnell Douglas Corp. An early family Christmas was held at the home of Mrs. Veda Shull of Nashville Saturday. She was joined by her sons and families for dinner at a local restaurant, then they returned to the Shull residence for a nice day of visiting. Present were Mr. and Mrs. Jerry Guy of Nashville and sons Brian and Bradley; and Mr. and Mrs. Kendall Guy of Bristol, Indiana. Condolences are extended to the family of Rena Blake Dawson, who passed away Monday at the Barry County Medical Care Facility where she had resided 15 months. In the ’40s and ’50s, Rena was employed by the old Beedle Brothers Variety Store in Nashville. She was preceded in death by two husbands, Walter Blake in 1945 and Edward Dawson in 1971. Services for Mrs. Dawson were held Thursday in Hastings. Another death last week of interest to Nashville readers was that of Harry Appelman, 85, of Hastings. He was the son of early Nashville grocer John Appelman and at one time was employed by his father in the store which was located first on the northeast corner of the Main and Washington streets intersection and later moved in 1925 to the Buxton Block on the southwest corner. Harry also was employed a number of years as a rural mail carrier. Having resided in Hastings in his later life, Harry had enjoyed good health until an illness just STANTON’S REAL ESTATE Maple Valley Nursery School held it’s second an­ nual Christmas drawing at Carl’s Market, December 11.

Sunday dinner guests were Mrs. Sherry Gould and children, Leslie, Emilie and Lee, of Nashville; Mrs. Mary Rose, sons Tim and Jimmy, and friend Rich, all of Lansing, and Mrs. Ona Hinckley, local. Mrs. Joan Rumsey and children of Potterville were Sunday callers on her grandparents, Mr. and Mrs. Charles Furlong of Nash­ ville.

Main St., Nashville Gary Priesman - Owner and Loan Association FOUR CONVENIENT LOCATIONS TO SERVE YOU HOME OFFICE - CHARLOTTE, MICHIGAN Nashville, Michigan - Eaton Rapids, Michigan • Olivet, Michigan �The Maple Valley News, Nashville, Tuesday, December 21, 1982 — Page 4 Community gatherings were once the place for families to exchange Christmas gifts (Author’s Note: The following is a repeat of a Christmas Memories first published December 16, 1980.) “Snow blankets the ground and the merry sound of sleighbells tinkles the ear,” observed the Nashville News in early December 1873. Soon Christmas would descend on the tiny village nestled in the valley of the Thornapple like some quaint and picturesque greeting card scene. “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,” noted the News when Christmas 1874 rolled around. “Cap reports that business is brisk.” More than a century later, Nashville’s holiday season still retains much of the same flavor - Santa’s ap­ pearance, school vacations, church doings, enterprising merchants and weary shoppers. Fallen by the wayside, however, is at least one early local Yuletide custom - the annual holiday hunt. Commencing near Thanksgiving, men of the community would form teams to compete in pursuit of upland game. Traditionally, the losers treated winners to an oyster supper. “Shoots” also were popular. “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.” One Yuletide tradition that remains essentially un­ changed throughout more than a century of local history is the presentation of various church and school programs. At least one such annual affair was a community­ wide event, usually held on Christmas Eve. In the early days, the gathering was social as well as religious in nature. Often there were multiple holiday activities. “Christmas was a gala occasion in Nashville,” observed 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.” (1982 note: The Baptist then were located in what now is St. Cyril’s Catholic Church on State Street.) On the afternoon of Christmas Day 1878, a program was staged at the local Christian Church (now the home of Trinity Gospel on Washington Street) and many presents were distributed there. Christmas night came a big doings at the opera house sponsored by the Methodist Episcopal Church, located less than a block east on Washington Street. The opera house was packed for the Yule event. After a program of about an hour’s length, the stage curtain was rolled up to reveal a beautiful Christmas arch loaded with close to 400 gifts. These were removed by Santa and his assistants and distributed with great dispatch. “In those days, only rich families had Christmas trees at homes,” says a presentday senior citizen who grew up in Nashville. Because the trees often were seen only at com­ munity gatherings, some families exchanged gifts at such events. The presents could be quite grand, as noted in this 1879 News account of a Christmas Eve program at the Christian Church. “The large, beautiful tree was surrounded by more than 200 presents, many of them costly and elegant. Among those we noticed were Mrs. L.O. Crocker, a silver cup; E.M. Evarts, a silver napkin ring; Mrs. George A. Truman, a handsome pickle castor; Mrs. E. Cook, panel pictures; Mrs. H. Durkee, an elegant album; Mrs. Wheeler, a set of furs.” A small admission charge to community Christmas exercises helped defray the cost of providing candy treats for all the children who attended, but no youngster was turned away for want of the fee. “Admission charge will be ten cents for adults and five cents for children” advised the News of the 1878 M.E. holiday doings at the opera house, “but no children will be prohibited for lack of the price.” The 1879 M.E. presentation at the opera house was not For the Holidays, Our Gift to You... ...from Maple Leaf Florist 311 NORTH MAIN STREET, NASHVILLE, MICHIGAN 20% Off on all ARTIFICIAL ARRANGEMENTS and ARTIFICIAL CHRISTMAS WREATHS, CANDLE RINGS, POTTERY and NOVELTIES Visit Our... “Make Your Own Arrangement” Section!

From our readersTo the Editor: Arriving alive is a logical and reasonable goal for a trip taken at any time of the year, but especially one taken at the merriest season of all. Yet the merrymaking itself tends to cloud judgement making safe arrival and that of loved ones in doubt. Drinking and driving is increasingly being viewed as unacceptable and dangerous behavior. Prescription drugs such as antihistimines, tranquilizers and medications containing narcotics reduce reflex action and limit judgement, making them dangerous especially when combined with drinking and driving. The staff of Eaton County Transportation Authority urges holiday drivers to use special care on the roads this Christmas season, and to use wise decision-making when they get into their cars. Sincerely Debra Brunger, Manager Eaton County Trans­ portation Authority. Action-Ads WANTED: Used roofing and siding in good condition, also, 2x4’s and plywood. 616­ 367-3400.

Merchants report a good response to the Chambersponsored guessing promotion which commenced November 30. Entrants in the event were invited to visit any of the 14 participating business places and register estimates of the number of items displayed in glass containers in those stores. The items ranged from BBs to knives and included such diverse products as spark plugs and hairpins. Surprisingly, several of the guesses were “right on the nose” when the tally was made Saturday, and several others were extremely close. In four cases there were tie winners. In two instances, drawings were conducted by the store to determine who would receive the prize. The other two merchants opted to give duplicate awards. At Mace Pharmacy retired nurse Helen Furlong of Nashville made an exact guess of 402 on vials displayed in a huge glass container. For her accuracy, she was awarded a 5 lb. Hershey chocolate bar. Another exact guess oc­ curred at Quality Pawn where Pam Bursley of Nash­ ville won a knife for ac­ curately estimating that there were 41 knives on display in a jar there.

How it makes us recall The Star o’er the stable, the child in the stall! 4-Susie M. Best Last Minute Here are some fire-wise tips for making your holidays safer and more enjoyable. Shut off lights and decorations and extinguish candles before leaving the house for a long period. The possibility of electrical fire from a string of lights is remote but worth going out of your way to avoid. It’s also wise to exercise care during the presentation of gifts. Particularly with families of adults or adults and older children, the ex­ change of gifts is held late in the evening, accompanied by candle burning and lubricated with large quantities of Yuletide cheer. Wrapping paper plus candles - especially where alcohol is also involved — can be a recipe for trouble. Immediately after the exchange of gifts, clean up the wrapping paper that litters the room. Some families set out festive department store shopping bags as receptacles for use as packages are unwrapped, to keep the papers in one place. That’s a great idea but be sure to discard the bags of paper in a plastic or metal trash container promptly. Boxes and other manufacturer packaging should also be disposed of quickly, though “quickly” here may denote an interval of days while final disposition is made of a large number of still-boxed gifts. Common sense is also in order for holiday party giving. If you’re inviting over a group of close friends and setting out a festive assortment of nuts and cheeses on a coffee table, you’re going to have all kinds of people dressed in their holiday best reaching over and onto that table. Is this a smart place to put the traditional bayberry candle? As at any time of year, if a guest drops a cigarette or lighted match, retrieve it at once. Remember that overstuffed upholstery can retain heat and ignite again hours after a fire has been “extinguished” with water. Even a small fire on a sofa cushion, for example, means that the cushion should be placed outside overnight - or that you should call the fire department just to make sure the fire is really out. Common sense, a, little imagination and a little wisdom can make a holiday celebration that’s not only dramatic and festive -- but safe. Have a happy holiday and take care. After all, fire and burns aren’t on anyone’s Christmas list! — NOTICE — Castleton Township Taxpayers I will be at the Castleton Township Hall (98 S.

The Panthers found a smooth patient, and a very aggressive Lion team hard to defeat for three quarters. Even with Scott Grimes of the Panthers hitting 10 of 13 shots during the first half for a 20 point effort, the score after two periods was Maple Valley 28 to Pennfield’s 29 points. The third quarter foul trouble continued to plague Lion guard, Mickey Mahon, forcing him to the bench early. Marty Martin came off the bench to defense Grimes in the second half. His defensive efforts held Grimes to 10 second half points and helped keep the score to a 3 point difference 47-44 after the third quarter. The fourth quarter spelled doom for the scrappy Lions. They missed all their field goal attempts until the last 30 seconds when Tom DeGroot scored. The lop­ sided score came from missed Lion free throws. Valley managed only 3 out of 16 attempts. Second and third attempts by Pennfield in the 4th quarter gave them a 24-5 final period ad­ vantage. Mahon made an extremely early exit from the game by picking up his 5th personal foul. Lion rebounders could only get a total of 3 offensive rebounds this night. “Tony Dunkelberger led Lion scorers with 14, Jeff Hamilton had 10, Jeff Starring 7, Marty Martin 6, Randy Joostberns and Mickey Mahon 4, Mike Gurd and Tom DeGroot rounded out the scoring with 20 apiece. Against Bellevue Friday night, the Lions 2-2 jumped out to a 10-0 lead, 24-14 after one quarter and made it stand the rest of the night. Sophmore, Jeff Hamilton contributed 22 points and 6 steals for Valley, which led 37-29, at halftime. Randy Joostberns and Mickey Mahon added 14 points apiece. Jeff Starring was the fourth Lion to make double figures connecting for 12 points. The Broncos were paced by Pat Wing’s 17 points and 15 each by Bill Wine and Roy Hoffman. Santa’s suprise suprise ap­ pearance surely boosted the spirits of the Lions and spread good cheer among all spectators.

The response to the plea for food, toys, mittens, money, etc. was un­ believable for the Christmas baskets for the needy. The Christmas spirit of giving was tangible enough to put in a box and wrap! A special thank you to Pat O’Dell, president of the Vermontville Chamber of Commerce, who was in charge of the whole project. A special thanks to Hildred Peabody and her very capable committee — Jack Rathburn, Pastor and Mrs. Bogar — for supervising the filling and distribution of the Christmas baskets. And weren’t all of' those elves just fabulous that helped sort and pack the baskets? (Some of them were even sort of cute!) Johnnie and the gang at Johnnie’s Food Mart have the Chamber’s gratitude for their outstanding contribution to this worthy cause. Thanks to the Girl Scouts for wrapping and labeling the toys. They did a terrific job. Then, of course, Santa’s helpers who delivered the baskets are to be given a big round of appplause. They couldn’t keep Rudolph in line, it seems that there was a cute little ‘doe’ that turned his shiney nose, but they finally got all the Christmas baskets delivered in fine shape. No bne knows the true feeling of love and satisfaction until they’ve helped in such a project. “People are still pretty wonderful,” says a Chamber spokesperson. Yes, Virginia, there is a Santa Claus! Santa said that at least 125 kiddies sat on his knee and received a bag of goodies Saturday afternoon at the Vermontville Fire Bam.

Mrs. Nellie Moon of Nash­ ville Was a Christmas Day guest at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Gene Mater, local, for a family dinner gathering. An early morning fire Wednesday at the Gordon Reid place at 8626 Scott Road, about a mile beyond the western village limits of Nasvhille, destroyed a barn and all its contents. Local firefighters were on the scene about two and one-half hours after being summoned about 6:30 a.m., and were successful in preventing the fire from spreading to the Reid home or to the nearby Wallace Planck residence. The barn was totally in­ volved when the firemen arrived. As of Friday, total dollar loss had not been established, pending a visit from the insurance adjustor, said Nashville Fire Chief Doug Yarger. He reports that cause of the blaze has not yet been established. The fire was spotted by passerby Bob Owens who alerted the Reid family, who were asleep. Mr. Reid had left for work about 15 minutes earlier, said Yarger. The name of George Hoffman was ommitted in a list supplied to us for last week’s report of deceased members of Nashville’s Class of 1926 who recently was designated in memorial contribution to Putnam Public Library’s building Record-setting temperatures in the mid-60s made Christmas 1982 a memorable one for folk; in the Maple Valley area as well as in the entire region east of the Mississippi. The day may have been a disappointment for children of all ages who found skates, sleds, skis or snowshoes under the Yule tree, but the majority of people welcomed the balmy weather as a unique holiday treat in this area of the country. Last year Maple Valley area enjoyed a traditional white Christmas when a two-inch layer of snow blanketed our vicinity two days before the holiday. What a contrast between Christmas past and Christmas present! The Nashville firefighters were called out shortly before 8 a.m. Sunday morning for a reported house fire at the David Stanton residence on Dowling Road, southwest of Nashville. Fortunately, the problem turned out to be only a plugged chimney and no damage was sustained in the incident. Mrs. Mae Smith of Nash­ ville is a patient at Pennock Hospital in Hastings.

December 28, 1982 — Poge 4 Old Opera House was focal point of New Year's celebrations Dancing and roller-skating were two favorite ways of ushering in the new year in early Nashville. The center of activity was the opera house on Washington Street. Built in late 1876 by local businessmen Elihu Chipman and H. M. Lee, the opera house made its official debut at a New Year’s Eve dance on December 31, 1876. “Chipman and Lee plan to open with a grand hop on New Year’s Eve,” an­ nounced the Nashville News as the holiday neared. The opening turned out to be a “large and gala affair”, attended by 88 couples, according to a subsequent News report. The opera house, a frame building with dimensions of 32 feet by 100 feet and measuring 22 feet from floor to ceiling, featured an in- Many choruses of "Auld Lang Syne" no doubt echoed through Nashville's opera house from its official opening on New Year's Eve 1876, until the final hours of its life, seen here some 60 years later. Frank Kellogg, who bought the building for salvage, stands atop the structure before razing begins. Once the hub of Nashville s social life, the opera house was located on the north side of Washington Street, just east of Main. At a 1914 New Year's Eve Watch party at the opera house, skaters pause on one of the dual bleachers in the front of the facility. Cleared of portable chair seat­ ing, the hardwood floor was transformed into a ballroom, roller rink, and - later basketball court. Best records indicate that skating first was introduced here two days before New Year's Eve 1883. Seen at this 1914 party are, seated on floor, from left: Lewis Hyde, Hugh Hecker, Virgil Laurent.

Dressing rooms, an office, and bleacher seating at the end opposite the stage also were included. The main floor was left open for chairs which could be quickly stowed away to free the area for dances, skating parties and various community events which would be held in the facility. The opera house soon became a popular social center — the site of numerous formal dinners, receptions, school plays and commencement exercises. In the first few years of its life, the opera house hosted a variety ’ of dramas, comedies, musical shows, dances, lectures, wax work Lakewood/Maple Valley Community Education Call 852-9275 you can Carroll Wolff, Superintendent Maple Valley Public Schools Daryl Hartzler, Director Lakewood/Maple Valley Community Ed.

Its facilities were used by troupes of traveling Thespians as well as for productions by local actors. In the 1870s, the opera house also became headquarters of the local temperance movement, as proprietor Chipman was an outspoken advocate of the Reform Club’s cause. Holiday dances continued to be a popular opera house attraction, and the New Year’s Eve events were no exception. “Smith & Clark sold 106 dance numbers at the New Year’s Eve hop in the opera house,” advised the News on January 6, 1880. “Close to a hundred others paid 25 cents to watch the festivities.” The opera house also was the scene of many cultural “firsts” for the village. “'Through the marvelous invention of Cinematograph, the people of Nashville will have an opportunity, next Tuesday evening at the opera house to see the famous Passion Play of Oberammergau,” advised the News in December 1899. “This latest of man’s in­ ventive wonders shows life­ size pictures and does all but speaking to faithfully reproduce the great scenes of the Passion Play.” (This presentation apparently was by film slides, since moving pictures first were seen in the opera house in March 1903.) Perhaps one of the most memorable uses of the opera house came about a few years later. “Emmett Everts has received 20 pairs of roller skates and will open the opera house as a skating rink tonight,” advised the News on December 29, 1883. This venture seems to have met with great success, as evidenced by this News comment three weeks later: “The roller skating mania still holds its bigness and Emmett Everts and Squire Chipman smile as though they had struck four theatre companies for house rent at short rates.” By autumn, the mania still held and called for improvements to the facility. “Elihu Chipman is laying a mitered maple floor in the opera house,” observed the News on November 15, 1884. “He has ordered a stock of Vinyard skates and iis making general preparations for a lively campaign in the roller­ skating line.” Skating parties soon evolved into very special events, as seen in this News report of February 14, 1885: “The little folks* masquerade at the rink, Saturday evening, was a neat affair and thoroughly enjoyed by participants and spectators. Fourteen little maskers, seven to fifteen years of age, glided and flitted around the rink as happy as humming bees for an hour or more. Some of the costumes were beautiful. The richest represented a Scottish laddie and was worn by Clarence Barber. “Irving Boston arrayed as an Indian chief and armed with a thin scalping knife made imaginary attacks upon companions, but was eventually hunted to his death by Johnnie. Flint, upon whom the mantle of Buffalo Bill had fallen. Katie Dickinson, as an old lady evidently enjoyed her snuff, and Aubrey Francis in blue cambric charmingly per­ sonated a dashing belle and, by the way, the costume of the latter was the only one which the lynx-eyed audience failed to penetrate and discover its wearer.” Competition roller skating also found a home in Nash­ ville, particularly with the Walrath brothers, Charles and Hiram. “There will be a benefit skate at the roller rink oh Wednesday evening next, for the benefit of C. L.

Chautaqua shows were popular then and they were traditionally held under tents. In addition, the 1916 Community House addition to the Methodist Church and the growing popularity of the Nashville Club Rooms in the Gribbin Block further detracted from the usefulness of the opera house. The aging facility still hosted school plays and served as a community roller rink. The most crucial role of the opera house in the 1920-30S era was as a basketball court.

St. Cyril Parish Hall of Nashville was a beehive of activity Tuesday as some 20 volunteers — young and old — packed 63 boxes, each containing a canned ham and rounded out with other canned goods, food staples, and gifts which included toys, games, books and accessory clothing items. Sacks of fruit and cookies were also added. Most of the foods were collected through Nashville churches and the local school systems. Mrs. Olith Hamilton of Nashville contributed 30 sets of children’s caps and mittens which she had crocheted over the past several months. The project has been an annual one for a number of years for Mrs. Hamilton, a retired local home economics teacher. Cash donations to the project helped buy ad­ ditional gift items which were wrapped in Christmas paper Tuesday by volun­ teers. Delivery of the boxes was made Tuesday and Wed­ nesday.

The biggest improvement in 40 years. A message from Donald T. Regan, Secretary of the Treasury. New Variable Interest Rate. Finding the ideal investment is something everyone dreams about. For most, that might be one with a variable interest rate. One that lets you share in the rates offered in today’s securities market. But it must be safe. A plan where you can never lose principal and where rates can’t drop below a certain level. That kind of opportunity may sound too good to be true. But it is available now to everyone, even the saver with as little as $25 to invest. It’s the United States Savings Bond. A vastly improved Bond that has become one of the most unique savings instruments you can buy today. On November 1, 1982, the Savings Bond interest rate changed from fixed to vari­ able. And there is no limit on how high the rate can go. Now virtually every Bond holder, present and future, has a chance to enjoy a return previously available only to those with much more money to invest. A Guaranteed Minimum. Of course, interest rates will fluctuate. But the new variable rate guarantees you’ll “never lose.” Because, no matter how low rates may go, you’re pro­ tected by a guaranteed mini­ mum* If you hold your Bonds to maturity, you’ll absolutely double your money. And you may even do better! So take another look at Savings Bonds—through the Payroll Savings Plan, for gifts, or for yourself and family. There’s never been a better time.

December 28, 1982__Page 11 Nashville man has anew 'night life by Susan Hinckley A 1’a1 iiiiiiiffl* ^aji raM* CL " Etarj®.^ ill Jnj W«! Herb Roberts is a man who talks freely about his past. He’s not proud of it, but he sees the contrast between “then” and “now” as a powerful testimony for the Lord. The 34-year-old former professional musician moved to Nashville a year ago, not long after he turned over a new leaf in his life. Born and raised near Lansing, the middle child of a family of five, Roberts said he was “saved” about 18 months ago while living in Belding. It was a pretty down-and-out time for Roberts — divorced; an alcoholic by his own ad­ mission who for five years had made his living singing and playing in bars in this area of Michigan; and a U.S. Army veteran of Viet Nam and Korea who after eight years of service had received a dishonorable discharge in 1974. After that separation from the service, Roberts spent four years in Rockford, Illinois, before returning to Michigan to form with his friends a six-piece band called Herb Roberts and The Boone County Boys. Herb’s style is pure Hank Williams. “Ever since I grew up listening to Hank Williams, I kind of picked up his style,” says Roberts, who also does notable impressions of Faron Young and Lefty Frizzle. After attending school in Lansing for a while, Herb went to Georgia when he was 14 to stay with an older brother living there. “That’s where I learned the southern drawl that made it easier to sing country-western songs,” comments Roberts. He came from a family that enjoyed cw music. “My dad had done a little singing in his day,” he notes. Herb learned to play the guitar at age 19 and for the past five years has taken it seriously. But there came that day in 1981 when his life changed drastically. He attributes his salvation to efforts of Pastor Jim Crawford and friends Rocky and Judy Hopkins of the Belding Baptist Church. They “swayed” him to give up the night life, he says. “The Lord gave me a good voice and a desire to sing, but I was in the wrong places,” reflects Roberts. “The Lord had different ideas for me.” Roberts adds that he felt the Lord wanted to use him in other areas, and “He really put a burden on me to stay out of the bars.” Before moving to Nash­ ville, says Roberts, he never had an opportunity to per­ form gospel music, Now he is associated with the local Baptist Church and has found friends with whom he can enjoy gospel jam sessions. He says he also has found inspiration from Pastor Lester DeGroot, whom he greatly admires. “It makes you want to follow in his footsteps,” says Herb, in expressing that admiration. If Herb never had an opportunity to sing gospel music before coming to Nashville, he certainly is making up for lost time now. He has performed at several area churches, including Methodist and Catholic; has sung at the Provincial House in Hastings; sings regularly at the Barry County Medical Care Facility (BCMCF) and is a regular at the newlyopened Note of Praise, a-nondenominational religious center near Hastings, where he also serves on the board of directors. In addition to using his musical talent at the BCMCF, Roberts has been recruited as an assistant in the chaplaincy program of Cathy Vessecchia of Nashville. Mrs. Vessecchia has high praise for Herb’s ability and compassion in working with the patients, especially the male residents at the facility. Herb always takes along his guitar whenever he visits the Medical Care Facility. “Sometimes songs are more soothing than words,” observes Roberts, who writes many of his own gospel songs. He has high praise for the BCMCF staff, especially Activities Director Doris Tinkler. He said money could not buy the satisfaction he derives from working with patients there, whom he said return abundantly all the affection they are given. Roberts is always eager to return. “It’s like Christmas each time I go there,” he notes. In addition to his regular visits and those associated with the chaplaincy program, Roberts is often called for other special events at the facility. Also, he drives a Nashville Baptist Church van, assisted by Dion Rasey of Nashville, to the facility each Sunday mor­ ning to bring patients to worship services at the church. Roberts has con­ sidered entering full-time Christian service. “I’d like to take Jerry Falwell’s correspondence course-for the ministry and have considered becoming a licensed chaplain,” notes Roberts, who is currently laid-off from his job in his brother’s paint and body shop at Woodbury. “I feel the Lord has called me to a musical ministry first, but it could branch out from there.” He said he is particularly interested in the new Hospice program being launched in Barry County to aid terminally ill patients and their families.

Now, he says, he has so much more. In February he married Barb, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Donald Shook of Nash­ ville, and between them the couple have five daughters: Betsy and Candy, both 12; Buffy and Tracy, both 9; and Jolene, 7. Herb now has many new friends with whom he can share his love of music and, especially, his love of the Lord. “That’s not to say that we still don’t have problems,” observes Herb philosophically, as he ex­ plains that just today he lost a wheel from his auto while driving downtown. “But problems are so much easier to bear when you know where you’re going. With the Lord, they’re so much easier to bear!” The reasons are lost in the mists of antiquity. But aside from St. Patrick’s Day, there’s no time that works better than New Year’s to attract people who never drink any other time and get them stark roaring plastered. Alcohol abuse exposes the reveler to a variety of risks — some of them are risks of fire. Here are some handy tips for keeping an eye on your own behavior this New Year’s Eve...and for picking up after your friends, if you’re one of the sober ones. The exact amount varies by weight (heavier people Vermontville news by Ava Kroger With his guitar and a voice reminiscent of Hank Williams, 34-year-old Herb Roberts of Nashville brings joy to shut-ins and others with whom he can share his love of the Lord. Now unemployed, Roberts gave up a professional career singi ing in nightspots when he was "saved" 18 months ago, and presently devotes "'untless hours to Christian volunteerism.

But, as a rule of thumb, to stay fully sober limit yourself to one shot of liquor per hour -­ or one glass of wine or a single glass of beer. If you step over that limit, keep in mind that alcohol is a depressant and that your skill in performing common motor activities will decrease as you drink on. The more you drink, the worse you’ll drive. Everybody knows that. It’s not so well known that the more you drink, the worse you’ll smoke; you’re more likely to drop a match or cigarette, burning your clothes, your environment or yourself under the influence of alcohol. Remember that a cigarette dropped on padded upholstery can lead to a long delayed, smoldering fire that erupts hours later, and that the residual heat will not be appreciably reduced by an amount ofwater sufficient to extinguish the visible fire. If you light - and stamp out - a sofa cushion, call the fire department or leave the piece outside overnight. The person heavily sedated by alcohol is more likely to go to sleep. For the drunk, smoking in a car, a chair or in an elevator can be as dangerous as smoking in bed - and lead to the same deadly results. And please, please, please - if you plan to drink this New Year’s, plan to walk home. Or take a taxi. Or book a hotel room across the street from the party. But don’t drive if you’ve had more than your limit! A final note: if you’ve just bundled someone off to bed who’s in a state of severe pass-out, his reactivity to all types of outside stimulus will be extremely low, including a stimulus such as a smoke detector’s squeal! On the off chance that fire should erupt while you’re sleeping off the party, remember that the more seriously drugged may not hear the detector at all or will awaken in a state of high disorientation. If you’re in decent shape, plan on helping the less alert escape. A little preplanning this New Year’s actually can help compensate for excesses later in the evening and ensure that you and your loved ones can see in 1983 together.

The Commission is appointed by the governor to determine his salary, as well as the salaries of the lieutenant governor, legislators and Supreme Court Justices. INAUGURATION DAY, JAN. 1 - For the first time in nearly 40 years, Democrats will take control of both the legislature and the governor’s office when Governor-Elect James Blanchard is sworn in on the Capitol steps at noon on New Year’s Day. A public reception will follow the ceremonies in the Capitol Rotunda, and that evening, two Inaugural Balls will be held; one in Lansing and one in Detroit. HEAT TO STAY ON FOR NEEDY - An emergency rule submitted to Governor Milliken to help low-income natural gas customers in avoiding utility service shut-offs this winter has been approved by the Executive Office. To qualify, Michigan’s most needy residents must participate in programs to better winterize their homes or take steps to reduce consumption in order to take advantage of the new emergency rule. The rule will be in effect through April 1, 1983 for Michigan Consolidated Gas Company and Con­ sumers Power Company customers. GRANDPARENTS’ BILL AWAITS SIGNATURE Governor Milliken is expected to sign into law legislation approved by the Michigan House and Senate that expands the rights of grandparents to visit their grandchildren during child custody disputes. Current law does not guarantee the grandparents visitation rights to their grandchildren if the grandchildren have been adopted by a stepparent. The new law, if enacted, also stipulates that visitation would be permitted only if it was in the best in­ terests of the grandchildren. TWO WOMEN ON SUPREME COURT - On December 24, Michigan Supreme Court Chief Justice Mary Coleman will retire after nine years on the state’s highest court. But between now and then, Michigan has two women justices, a first for a state supreme court. The other justice is Judge Dorothy Comstock Riley, who was appointed to fill the terms of the late Justice Blair Moody, Jr. who died on Thanksgiving Day. The Governor also appointed Lt. Gov. James Brickley to fill the seat being vacated by Justice Coleman. SESSION ADJOURNS - After dealing with unemployment compensation reform and a comprehensive transportation package for Michigan, the 81st Michigan Legislature’s 1982 Regular Session will adjourn “sine die”, until mid-January when the newly-elected State Legislature convenes for the 82nd Michigan Legislature’s 1983 Regular Session. �The Maple Valley News, Nashville.
