(Maple Valley News photos) firemen’s dance raises $700 �The Mople Valley News Nashville. Tuesday, January 4, 1983 — Page 2 Nashville News Our recent Memories publication of school play photos of Nashville’s Class of 1917 evoked more comment via phone calls and letters than almost any past column. The most recent mail on the subject came last week from the former Myrtle Marshall, who was one of the two court jesters pictured in the cast. She is now 84 years old and “still kicking”, said her letter. Myrtle, the daughter of Rev. John J. Marshall, graduated with the Class of 1917; later married Lawrence Brown and had six children, and after his death, married Martin Donovan and now lives in Mesa, Arizona. Mrs. Donovan does not subscribe to the Maple Valley News but received the November 23 issue from a friend via her daughter, Mrs. June Pugh of Bellevue. “I had been looking at some pictures of high school days a few days before,” wrote Mrs. Donovan, “and when I opened the paper, I just couldn’t believe my eyes. Those pictures were of the play EVERYSTUDENT and a play within it of Rip Van Winkle, in the sophomore year of the Class of 1917.” Mrs. Donovan’s account differs somewhat from other sources who have said it was the Junior Class play, but regardless, the photos are of the Class of 1917 as un­ derclassmen. Mrs. Donovan listed identification of the actors, as he recalled them. The names also were sup­ plied earlier by Mabie Ostroth Adams of Nashville, as we reported in this column a few weeks ago. The photos now are labeled and on display in the Michigan and Local History Room at Putnam Public Library. The jesters, recalls Mrs. Donovan, made jokes on merchants, teachers and other students. “Because of my part, a man asked me if I would be interested in joining a stock company,” she added. “We did put on several plays in nearby towns but before we really got down to business he died and that was the end of that.” Mrs. Donovan in­ cluded in her letter several photos for possible use in future Memories stories. We plan to use two of them (a formal shot of the Class of 1917 and a later one of their 50th anniversary reunion in 1967) in next week’s Memories. Thanks to Mrs. Donovan for sharing her recollections with us. There is no “Memories of the Past” in this week’s issue of the News, due to the time and space required to present the chronology of 1982 news events for the Maple Valley area. “Memories” will return next week. Tuesday was an unusual day — weatherwise — in the Maple Valley area and throughout much of the Midwest. Early morning temperatures here were in When you call at the funeral home, you are requested to reg­ ister your name. The registry is given to the family of the deceased. You might consider this matter of minor importance, but we are continually im­ pressed with its value. The family invariably appreciates a record of those who called. Thank you for your cooperation.

Kerosene heater concerns answered by Extension by Allen Krizek, County Extension Director Increases in home heating costs have helped develop a market for portable kerosene heaters. Many questions are being asked about the safety of these units. How safe are these new heaters; that depends upon who you talk to. Some public health and safety officials take a cautious view of these types of heaters. Some manufacturers and dealers, however, do not. But it is a fact that these types of heaters can be a potential fire hazard and that the pollutants these heaters produce may represent a significant health hazard. For these reasons, some communities and some states have banned the use of these types of heaters in homes. Would-be buyers of unvented, portable kerosene heaters should check with building authorities and-or fire officials and insurance representatives first. If the heater is purchased, be sure to follow the manufacturer’s exact directions for operation. A new MSU Extension bulletin “Some Con­ siderations About Portable Kerosene Heaters” E-1669 provides additional in­ formation on kerosene heaters. Copies may be obtained free of charge at the Eaton County Extension Office, 126 N. Bostwick, Charlotte, 48813. Be 'energy-wise' this winter, reduce expenses In the next two months most consumers are hit with the highest energy bills of the year. Everyone is concerned with these costs and are seeking ways to reduce the — NOTICE — The Vermontville Transfer Station ...will be CLOSED January 1 and January 15 ...and OPEN January 8 and January 22 ...from 9 A.M. to 1 P.M. The Vermontville Village Council energy use, for their family. Here are some basic ways families can conserve energy: (1) Use automatic door closers on outside entrances to reduce cold air infiltration in the winter. (2) Regular automobile tuneups can save as much as 10 percent on gasoline consumption. (3) Keep a drinking water container in the refrigerator so you don’t have to let the tap water run to get cold. (4) Don’t play television sets just to have company during the day. Use a radio for background music and talk. (5) Buy a power tool with the lowest adequate hor­ sepower to do the jobs you anticipate. (6) Iron as many clothes as you can at a time to cut the warm-up time of the iron. (7) Don’t line your oven with foil, it interferes with proper heating. (8) Cleaning the surface of the unit reflector pans on your stove increases cooking efficiency. Being aware of basic energ^ conservation methods allows families to manage their energy uses wisely. If more energy ideas are needed, call Mona Ellard, Cooperative Ex­ tension Home Economist, today. CALENDAR of EVENTS All have a strong background in music. Each is multi- talented- singing and playing several in­ struments which includes the fiddle, mandolin, steel guitar, piano, banjo bass, drums and lead guitar. The group started out five years ago as a duet con­ sisting of Paul and Don Loomis. The others have been added over the years. The Loomis Brothers travel every weekend throughout the year, per­ forming at high school programs, churches and a variety of functions. In addition they have recorded two albums and are working on a third. The first album, “I Won’t Look Back,” was recorded in 1979. The second, “I Don’t Want to Die, I Just Want to Come Up Missing,” was recorded last year. The Loomis Brothers are noted for the songs they compose, and have played with many groups such as The Cathedral Quartet, The Singing Canadians, and His Second Coming. The Loomis Brothers do not charge organizations for their appearances, operating only on what they call “love offerings.” The public is cordially invited to attend this per­ formance.

Director Spring may be a little less colorful than usual next year. The recent spell of springlike weather caused many flowering trees and shrubs to break dormancy — to begin to grow as if it really were time for buds to swell and flowers to open. Some forsythia plants in the Lansing area flowered, and the buds on such plants as lilacs, magnolias, red maples, willows, peaches and quince swelled and, in some cases, began to break open. Here and there in lawns and on golf courses, dandelions began to flower. Then came the cold. Flowers that were open and buds that were well advanced were killed, of course, says Harold Davidson, Extension hor­ ticulture specialist at Michigan State University. Whether buds that had just started to swell were killed and whether more serious damage occurred may not be Vegetative buds — the buds scape plants until after the certain until growth resumes that will become new leaves first of the year to make sure in the spring. and shoots — may also be they’re fully dormant.

With the economy showing scant signs of improving, most people are making an effort to keep their possessions in good condition and make them last longer,” says Mona Ellard, Eaton County Extension Home Economist. Taking care of the things you own, involves cleaning them so you preserve the finish. Many good cleaners are available in the stores, but a few simple household materials will often do an equally good job. What cleans? Aklali materials loosen and remove dirt without heavy rubbing and they dissolve grease. Some alkali cleaners are very strong and can damage fabrics or skin if spilled, so use .them with care. Baking soda, a mild alkali, is good cleaner for porcelain, appliances and bathroom fixtures and sinks. It also deodorizes. Am­ monia, trisodium phosphate and washing soda are stronger alkalis that can clean walls, floors, stove burners and drip pans, and glass. Try 1 tablespoon per gallon of warm water and see if that removes the dirt; add more only if needed to get the job done. Always rinse the material off. Don’t use an alkali cleaner on aluminum - it will darken and may corrode it. Alkalis are found in many com­ mercial household cleaners; washing soda is an ingredient of many powdered laundry detergents. Laundry detergents, which range from milk to moderately strong in alkali content, can also be used to clean walls, floors and ap­ pliances. Rinse off well. The low-sudsing varieties are easier to rinse off. Acids remove hard (lime) deposits. Some will remove tarnish and corrosion from metals; other will remove rust stains. Mild acids, such as vinegar, lemon juice and cream of tartar can be dissolved in water and boiled in tea kettles, pans and coffeemakers to remove hard water deposits from glass. Stronger acids, such as oxalic and others like it, are often found in com­ mercial rust removers. They are toxic and can damage skin and clothing, so use them carefully, following label directions. Mixing?? Generally, do not mix two or more cleaners unless directions specifically call for it. For example, mixing ammonia and chlorine bleach, or chlorine bleach and a commercial toilet bowl cleaner (strong acid), can produce deadly gases. Don’tmixsuch alkalis as ammonia with vinegar or other acids to make a homemade cleaner. This is not dangerous, but the acid and alkali will counteract each other and you will lose some of the cleaning power of each product. You may use one or the other, depending on the kind of soil to be removed. for Class A national tourney following win at qualification play at Toledo, Ohio... Nash­ ville death: Azor Leedy, 88.

Potato production increases in 1982 Fall potato production in Michigan during 1982 is estimated at nearly 8.1 million hundredweight (cwt.), 15 percent above last year. The 1982 fall potato crop is the largest since 1978, according to the Federal State Michigan Agricultural Reporting Service. The larger crop is attributed to an increase in harvested acreage combined with higher yields. Yields this season averaged 245 cwt. per acre, 10 cwt. above last falls flood damaged crop. Stocks of potatoes held by growers, shippers and processors on December 1, are estimated at 6.4 million cwt. This is 28 percent above stocks on hand a year ago and equal to record stocks on hand December 1, 1950. A special Christmas music program sponsored by the Nashville Parent-Teacher Organization was held Wednesday, Dec. 15 in the all purpose room at Fuller Street School in Nashville with all the students, teachers and many parents present. A tree, decorated by Miss Dent’s, kindergarten class, with garlands and blinking lights on the piano added to the festive atmosphere. Mrs. Judy DeGroot and Mrs. Carol Horn volunteered their time the two Wed­ nesdays prior to the program to work with each grade. singing Christmas carols. The two ladies then planned and staged the program. The children sang several songs as a group and each grade presented their own special number. A trio of Mrs. DeGroot, Mrs. Horn, and Mrs. Claudette Hamilton pleased the audience with two selections while Norma Shank accompanied them on the piano. Mrs. DeGroot also played a lovely solo on the saxophone. The final rendition by all the children was Up On the Housetop, which coincided with the arrival of Santa, who distributed candy canes. PTO President Kathy Mace made presentations of poinsettias to the four ladies in recognition and ap­ preciation of their help with the program. Presentations also were made to Principal Howard Yost, Mary Gury, ury, Jerry secretary; and Banfield, janitor, for all their help to the PTO throughout the year. The PTO also extends a big thanks to Mrs. DeGroot and Mrs. Horn for working with the children; to Dave Doozen for being master of ceremonies at the program; and to a very special lady in the community, Ann Taylor, for filling in as Santa with five-minutes notice. The following Friday, Mrs. DeGroot and Mrs. Horn also put on the program at Kellogg School.

The JVs played well in the first and third quarters, but had a tough time in the second and fourth quarters. The first quarter showed Pennfield leading 12 to 11. At the half, the score was 30 to 19, with Pennfield leading. At the end of the third quarter, Maple Valley led 41 to 39, but the Lions were outscored 29 to 18 in the fourth quarter. Leading rebounders for Maple Valley were Greg Lenz with 12 and Ryan Trowbridge with 10. Scoring for Maple Valley were Ryan Trowbridge, 16; Shan Ferrier, 15; Gary Reid, 10; Kurt Hartenburg, 7; Greg Lenz, 6; Alan Mater, 2; Jim Benit, 2; and Mark Valdick, 1.

The final scores was 77 for Maple Valley and 25 for Bellevue. Several winner emerge from recent Maple Valley Alumni Basketball tourney by Dennis Casteele There were several win­ ners in the recent Maple Valley Alumni Basketball Tournament. The winning team was a balanced and well organized seven-man squad from the classes of 1979 and 1980 that rolled to three victories featuring precise outside shooting, aggressive defense and strong rebounding work. Other winners in the fourevening tournament were the Maple Valley Athletic Boosters who realized approximately $400 from the event; the all volunteer tournament crew led by varsity Maple Valley basketball coach Jerry Reese, and the nearly 60 former Maple Valley athletes who had a chance to dust off their basketball talents and get some exer­ cise in the process. The winning 1979-80 team featured excellent outside shooting by Tom Gurd, an impressive underneath game with player-coach Andy (A.J.) Joostberns and his rugged brother, Tony (T.J.) Joostberns; strong forward play by Don (Sultan) Fox and Kevin Kilpatrick and good playmaking by speedy Leon Hoffman and Dave Munn. Thursday evening’s championship game was a closer game than the 69-54 final score indicated. At several key points, the game was tied. The championship game featured some good outside shooting from both sides and an NBA-style battle of the big men between Andy Joostberns and Curt Benedict from the com­ bination 1972 and 1978 squad. All in double figures for the winners were Tony Joostberns in his best tourney performance with 14, Gurd and Fox with 13 each, and Andy Joostberns with a dozen. Rounding out the winner’s balanced scoring attack were Kilpatrick with 6 and Hoffman with 5. For the losing 1972 and 1978 team, Mike Hamilton displayed a nice outside shooting touch to take game scoring honors with 22. Jeff Zemke hit for 13 from the outside, while pivot man Benedict had nine. Pete Benton continued to be impressive with flashy floor play and added four points, while Kirby Wilmore also hit for four points. The other Thursday contest was a consolation event that saw a com­ bination of the classes of 1974 and 1974 roll to an easy 72-60 win over the class of 1982. Leading the winners were the multi-talented Mike Fox with 19 points and rugged teammate. Brian Bahs with 18. Both Fox and Bahs were awesome under both back­ boards. The losers were paced by a game high 20 points from Tim Tobias and 10 by Eric Wolff. Busiest night of the tournament was Monday which saw a total of four contests. The first game saw a combination of 1969, 1970, and 1971 drop a 74-52 decision to the eventual tournament winners. Tom Gurd paced the winners with 23 points and Mike Teft’s 15 points were high for the losers. The second Monday contest saw the 1976 and 1981 combination squad down the 1974-75 squad. 54-47. The winners were paced by Jerry Gould’s 14 points, while the losers got an 18-point effort from Dave Halsey. The third Monday game was 59-49 win by the 1972 and 1978 combination over the class of 1982. Jeff Zemke’s 12-point effort led a balanced scoring attack for the win­ ners. Tom Brooke’s 13 points were tops for the losers. Monday’s last game saw Mark Benton pour in a tournament high 30 points to lead the class of 1977 to a 7340 victory over the class of 1973. Dave Kenyon’s 16 points led the losing team. Tuesday’s action found the tournament winners earning their second victory with a hard fought 50-44 win over the 1976-1981 combination team. Tom Gurd’s outstanding long range shooting resulted in a 17-point effort for the winners and Doug Knoll’s 13 points was tops for the losers. Tuesday’s second game resulted in the most hotly contested game of the fourday program. It took the class of 1972 and 1978 two overtimes to edge the class of 1977 by a 65-63 margin on a shot by Kirby Wilmore with only seconds remaining on the clock. The winners were paced by Curt Benedict’s 23 points, while Mark Benton’s 27 points led all scorers in a losing effort. In Wednesday play, the combination of 1974 and 1974 downed the 1969-1970-1971 group by a 70-60 margin. Randy Hummel dumped in 18 for the losers and Howard Downing had 22 for the winners. The class of 1982, led by equal 19-point efforts from big Walt Mauer, Eric Wolfe and Tim Tobias, downed the class of 1973 by a 77-51 margin. Overall, Maple Valley’s second annual alumni tournament was a large overall success and plans are already underway for an expanded 1983 event. Special thanks are due referees Larry Filter, Jerry Reese and Dennis Casteele who voluntered their services to officiate all 10 games and the special volunteer help provided by scorekeepers, ticket takers and concession workers. When you In the Bellevue game, every Lion basketball player scored. Scoring for the Lions were Gary Reid, 12 pts.; Ryan Trowbridge, 11 pts.; Jim Benit, 10 pts.; Jim Symonds, 10 pts.; Greg Lenz, 8 pts.; Shan Ferrier, 6 pts.; KurtHartenburg, 5 pts.; Jim Colby, 4 pts.; Alan Mater, 4 pts.; Eric Dahlman, 3 pts.; Terry Hall, 2 pts.; and Mark Valdick, 2 pts. As a team, the Lions made 37 ot 72 field goal attempts which was by far their best of the season. However, at the free-throw line, they made only 3 of 13 attempts. Jim Colby led the rebounders with 10 against Bellevue. Gary Reid grabbed 7 rebounds and leaders with 15 apiece were Kurt Hartenberg, Terry Hall and Mark Valdick. The JV league record is now one win and one loss. Overall their record is now one win and three losses. Hopefully with hard work and dedication, they can improve on their record in the new year. They play Potterville away on January 4 and Springfield at home on January 7. Action-Ads FOR RENT: Newer, spacious, three bedroom home on Thornapple River, outside of Nashville. One year lease.

The increase was spurred by a 110,000 acre increase in acreage for harvest, com­ bined with a record yield of 63 bushels per acre. Barley production at 2 million bushels was up 49 percent from the previous year. Final rye output is pegged at 638,000 bushels, a 20 percent increase from last year.

Nashville, Michigan Phone 945-9554 (Hastings) The Maple Valley News, Nashville. Vol. Ill - No. 30 - Tuesday. January 11. 1983 Open house planned for Jan. 16 to honor Ted McKelvey by Susan Hinckley An open house Sunday, Jan. 16 at Maple Grove Township Hall in Nashville will honor Ted McKelvey, who recently resigned his post as township supervisor to represent District 5 on the Barry County Board of Commissioners. The public is cordially invited to attend the 2 p.m. to 4 p.m. event at the hall located at 721 Durkee Street. McKelvey has been Maple Grove Township supervisor since 1974, and was midway through his second term when he was elected last November to the county post. On that board, Republican McKelvey, will represent the townships of Maple Grove, Assyria, and Johnstown, plus a small section of the Village of Nashville and a tiny portion of Castleton Township. Among his assignments on the county board will be service on committees of Finance, Judicial Services and Central Services. McKelvey also will serve on county boards for DP.W, Mental Health, Tran­ sportation, and the Mid­ Counties Consortium. Monte Allen, a Maple Grove Township trustee since 1980, has been ap- pointed as supervisor to fill the vacancy created by McKelvey’s resignation, assuming the post January 1, 1983. The township board currently is seeking a replacement to fill Allen’s unexpired term as trustee. McKelvey, who first served Maple Grove Township as a member of the Board of Review, says the township board has been “very good to work with.” “We’ve had 100 percent, cooperation,” notes McKelvey. “If we hadn’t, we could not have accomplished what we have.” He cites the new Maple Grove Township Hall built in 1980 as one of major ac­ complishments of the board during his tenure. “We’ve also had 100 percent cooperation with the Village of Nashville and Castleton Township,” continues McKelvey. Because of that, he ex­ plains, there has been a savings in combined ser­ vices provided by the three governmental entities, in­ cluding a new ambulance and headquarters for the ambulance department; improvements to the fire station building; and construction of a new transfer­ recycling center, built when state agencies curtailed use of local landfills. “Because of this cooperation (between the townships and village), the people have gotten a lot better service, a lot more economically,” observes McKelvey. The newly-elected Barry County commissioner sees a time coming when township operation may require full­ time employees, mostly because of increased governmental regulations. “Even rural townships may need full-time people, if things go on as they have,” notes McKelvey. “One thing, in this township we have kept our salaries down so we could give more (services) to the people.” McKelvey is looking forward to his service on the county board, but sees it as a completely different role from his township duties. “There will not be the day to day contact with the people that I had as super­ visor,” says McKelvey. Still, he looks forward to the challenge. Reflecting on his tenure with the township, McKelvey concludes: “It’s been a good eight years.” An American flag flown over the U.S. Capital on September 8, 1982, for Ted McKelvey, recently resigned Maple Grove Township supervisor, will soon be unfurled at the township hall in Nashville. McKelvey, center, was elected in November to the Barry County Board of Commissioners. He is flanked here by township officials Clerk Dora Chase, at left, and Trustee Duane Hamilton and Treasurer Joyce Starring, at right. As a surprise for McKelvey, the board arranged for the flag's Washington, D.CTdebut through Third District Congressman Howard Wolpe. Vermontville says farewell to Rev. Schreuder Rev. David Schreuder, popular young minister of Vermontville's First Congregational Church, received a Maple Leaf Award from Village President Bill Mason at the pastor's farewell service Sunday. Schreuder, w ho has been active in local organizations during his 18 months in the village, has accepted a ministerial post in Kalamazoo. The award is given in connection with the Maple Valley News in recognition of dedicated community service.

McKelvey will be honored at a January 16 open house at the township hall. (Maple MapleValley Valley News News photo photo by bySusan Susan Hinckley) Hinckley) by Susan Hinckley One of the most expressive tributes given to Rev. David Schreuder at Vermontville’s First Congregational Church Sunday was the fact that, when the popular young minister finished his farewell service, there was scarcely a dry eye in the house. After serving the Ver­ montville congregation for 18 months, Rev. Schreuder has accepted the pastorate of Twin Lakes Reformed Church in his hometown of Kalamazoo. A new minister for the Vermontville Church has not yet been secured. Schreuder was ordained in June 1981 in the Reformed Church in America, the denomination to which he will return in his new post. After graduation in 1966 from Vicksburg High School, Schreuder earned a B.S. degree in history and secondary education from Northwestern College at Orange City, Iowa.

Bunch met at Nashville “My dad and I were in the Baptist Church for their field next to the road and Bera came along and stopped to talk. He was driving a new Ford touring car and it was the first one we had seen with a self­ starter. Prior to this model, you had to crank the engine to get it started.” Fuller elaborated on the hazards of that. “Many men received broken wrists doing this. Instead of taking quarter turns with the crank, some would spin the engine one or two revolutions. Once in a while the engine would back­ fire and the engine would instantly reverse directions. If you were going down with the crank, a broken arm would usually be the result.” Fuller further noted that the new model car such as Bera was driving had a battery which greatly improved the lighting system. “The current for the older models came from the magneto. When going at low speeds, you had very little lights. You had to be going 35 ot 40 miles per hour to have a decent light. You often got stuck in those days and while racing the engine to get out, you would have to turn off the lights as the added speed of the engine would very often burn out the lights.” Nashville people confined to Pennock Hospital at the time of this report include Mrs. Fern Staup, who is in traction with a recurring back problem; Mrs. Marguerite Wilson, recovering from hip surgery; and Mrs. Mary Castelein.

In 1972, Schreuder received a M.S. degree in history from Western Michigan University, then attended New Brunswick Theological Seminary at New Brunswick, New Jer­ sey. Later he was employed three years for the Board of Pensions of the Reformed Church, working in New York City, before serving three years as regional office manager in Kalamazoo for a large insurance company. Schreuder returned to his theological studies in the fall of 1979, at Western Theological Seminary in Holland, Michigan, and there in May 1981 received his Master of Divinity degree.

She was the widow of Dr. Dean Brumm who died in 1970. Mildred was the daughter of Dr. F. F. Shilling, an Ohio native who established a medical practice in Nash­ ville in 1901 which he con­ tinued until April 1924, when he suffered a severe stroke of paralysis. Dr. Shilling died the following year, on April 14 1925, leaving a wife and daughters, Edna and Mildred. served a concurrent assignment at Southridge Reformed Church. After his call to the Ver­ montville First Congregational Church, Schreuder and his wife, Jane, who is director of marketing research for the Kellogg Company in Battle Creek, and their young daughter, Anne, now three, moved to 341 South Main Street. He immediately endeared himself to the local com­ munity, not only by his service to the church, but by his involvement in a variety of community activities. He became the first minister in Vermontville to serve on the town’s volunteer fire department — an experience which he relished. “They’re a great bunch of guys,” says Schreuder of the Vermontville firefighters. He also was active in the local Lions Club and the Vermontville Historical Society. In connection with that affiliation, Schreuder was responsible for leading a 1982 pilgrimage of Vermontville yduths to the site in the state of Vermont from which the founders of Vermontville originated some 150 years ago. Other points of historical interest in the East also were visited in the excursion. At Sunday’s service, Village President Bill Mason presented Rev. Schreuder with a Maple Leaf Award, a Vermontville community service award given in cooperation with the Maple Valley News, in “ap­ preciation of dedicated community service.” A coffee hour with cake and punch was held in the Griswold Room of the Congregational Church following Sunday’s service as a farewell to .the Schreuders.

The following identification of the cast was furnished by Mabel Ostroth Adams of Nashville. From left, front row: Glenn Hunt, Dean Frith, Walter Ball (as Rip Van Winkle); Myrtle Marshall, Dale DeVine, Carl McWha, Lurah Mead, Ruth Snore, Pauline Miller, Harold Feighner (as Uncle Sam). Second row: Martha Walker (with rolling pin); Grace Hopkins, Lena Kaiser, Alberta Martin, June Brumm, Wayne Kidder, Gladys Mead, Marguerite Ball (in nightcap). Back row: Earl Gibson, Harold Reynolds, Lucille Hunt, Pliny McLaughlin, Mabel Ostroth, Francis Huwe, Gladys Harper, Frankie Deller, Mayme Deller, Carl Nesman. There are some difference in identification supplied recently by Myrtle Marshall Donovan of Arizona. She thinks that Rip Van Winkle is Forest Smith; that it is Helen Miller in the nightcap; that Sumner Hartwell is at left, front row, and that the girl third from left in the back row in Vera Northrup. We did not find any of these four listed in the official alumni roster for the Class of 1917. A photo of the 50th anniversary reunion of the Class of 1917 was supplied by Myrtle Marshall Donovan of Arizona. The event was held in 1967 at the home of June Brumm Nesbit of Nashville. According to Mrs. Donovan's notes, 12 class members are seen in this photo. Two other persons are unidentified. Standing from left in front row are Marguerite Ball Shoup, Dean Frith, Mayme Deller Borough, Gladys Mead Yarger, June Brumm Nesbit, Lurah Mead Gaskill, Mabel Ostroth Adams, Ruth Snore Cherry, Francis Huwe Sellhorn, Pliny McLaughlin, and Carl Nesman. Standing in the back row, from left, are: unidentified man; Harold Feighner; and unidentified woman (face barely visible). Author's note: On November 23, 1982, we used this column to seek help in identifying cast members of what was obviously an early student play at Nashville High School. The pictures had been donated to Putnam Public Library for the Michigan and Local History collection, and we thought perhaps our older readers could supply names and details of the event so the photos could be properly labeled for diasplay. Response was terrific? as we have subsequently reported THURSDAY.......... FRIDAY in the Nashville News column. The pictures are of the Class of 1917 presenting the play “Everystudent” in either their junior or sophomore year (our sources differ here). In the initial publication on November 23, there were four photos shown: a large cast picture and three of smaller groups. The actors in the latter have since been identified and reported in a follow-up item in the Nash­ ville News column. For today’s Memories, we HAIRCUT ■ $350 .

Our primary sources of information have been Mabel Ostroth Adams of Nashville and Myrtle Marshall Brown Donovan of Arizona. Both were mem­ bers of the cast and had roles in the play. The ladies differ on identification of four cast members. Perhaps with the reprinting of the photo, final clarification can be made on these individuals. Again, thanks to all our readers for their great response to our request for help. Because of the interest shown in the project, we plan to continue using this column from time to time to seek reader’s help in identifying other unlabeled photos in the local history collection at Putnam Public Library. As a footnote to this story, our sources indicate that at least eight members of the Class of 1917 may be living. There are six for sure: Myrtle Marshall Donovan of Mesa, Arizona; Mabel Ostroth Adams of Nashville; Gladys Mead Yarger of Hastings; Lurah Mead Gaskill of Detroit; Carl Nesman of Lansing; and Earl Gibson of Long Beach, Calif.

Poor shooting and too many turnovers made Valley the victims of Pot­ terville on Tuesday, 61-58. Both teams struggled to gain control of the game at Potterville with the Lions gaining the first advantage 14-12 by the end of the beginning quarter. Valleys’ poor' free-throw shooting in the first game after Christmas break kept them from pulling away from their hosts and allowed Potterville to take a 24-23 half-time lead. Mickey Mahon was the only Lion to score a field goal in the third quarter. He netted 10 of his game total 23 points in that period. Marty Martin tied the game at 42 in the fourth quarter but it was the last time for Valley. They trailed the rest of the game. The final attempt to tie the game at 60 came with 14 seconds remaining. Valley- made 3 attempts to send the game into overtime but were unable to connect. A Lion foul sent Potterville to the free-throw line to seal the victory 61-58. Jeff Hamilton added 12 points for Valley. Friday’s 52-54 loss to Olivet came with no time left on the clock and was a fitting ending to a wild and fast­ paced game. The Lions’ 14 of 28 per­ formance at the charity stripe was again the culprit. Valley hit only 3 of 11 at­ tempts in the first quarter. Though they led 15-12 at the end of the first period, Olivet made up the deficit and took the lead 30-29 by the half. The second halfwas catch­ up time for the Lions. They trailed the entire third quarter but finally tied the game 42-42 on a 4 point play by Jeff Hamilton. Olivet again took com­ mand and held a 51-45 lead with 3:58 to be played. Tony Dunkelberger tied the score again at 52 with 32 seconds showing on the clock. The Eagles used that time to set up for the last shot but Valley fouled with 3 seconds to go. Though Olivet missed both free-throw opportunities, the Lions again fouled. This time the Eagles connected on both charity tosses. Valley’s final attempt to tie the game fell short. Mickey Mahon led Valley scorers with 16 points, Jeff Hamilton added 13. Randy Joostberns pulled down 11 rebounds. The Lions host league rival Springfield at home on Tuesday and travel to Bronson on Friday.

SOMMER Maple Valley volleyball coach Bill Christensen will find out just how important experience is this season. Christensen will have just threereturning let­ terwinners from a team that compiled, a 5-13 record in 1982. And, as Christensen points out, “even those girls didn’t play much last year.” The retiirness are seniors Tracy Symonds, Kelly Todd and Robin Swift. All three are expected to play several, positions, says Christensen. Senior transfer Lisa Pomaroy -also has volleyball experience and could help. Four girls up from a jayvee team that won three matches might also contribute. Those include Amy Cole, Jane Shippel, Loretta Mehan, and Dawn Hartell. “I think we have a number of .juniors that will con­ tribute," says Christensen. The Lion volleyball mentor says serving will be the team’s strong suit, but the inexperience will be hard to overcome. “The lack of experience is going to hurt us. We—just don’t have many returning letterwinners because we played a lot of seniors last year,” he says. The team will open it’s season at Lakewood on Monday night. Open basketball tourney set for Jan. 29-30 An open-class basketball tournament to benefit the Maple Valley Athletic Boosters is set for January 29-30 at Maple Valley Jr.-Sr. High School.

Since he was age three, 10year-old Cevin Cornish of S. Hager Road, Nashville, has been entering the annual Maple Valley News Christmas coloring contest. In that period, he has earned seven awards ranging from honorable mention to first place for his artwork. This year, Cevin again took top honors in the 7-10 age division and won a $15 gift certificate redeemable at any of the local business places sponsoring the con­ test. “My mother says I have enchanted crayons,” ob­ serves the young artist, son of Charles and Eunice Cornish. Also in December 1982, Cevin won first place in his age category in a Christmas coloring contest sponsored by Lake Odessa merchants and published in the Reminder. fifth-grader at A Maplewood Elementary in Vermontville, Cevin is no longer eligible to enter the annual contest since he will be past the age limit of 10 by the time the next Yule season arrives. In addition to the crayon art which won contest honors for him, Cevin likes to draw in pencil. “I sort of like chalk, too, but it’s not my favorite,” says Cevin, who adds that he does not paint well. His in­ spiration for pursuing art has been his older brother, Cyle, 19, he notes. Cevin’s favorite subject at Maplewood, where he is a student of Mrs. Sue Doozan, is math. Social studies and science rank second and third, respectively, in his preference. In addition to his award winning artwork in the local area, Cevin earned honors last year in a competition sponsored by the Woldumar Nature Center near Lansing. His pencil drawing of a nature scene placed 13th in a contest entered by hundreds of children. The top 12 works were selected to illustrate a calendar published by the center. While Cevin’s entry did not make the calendar, he said Woldumar officials told him that the drawing he submitted would be included in a special traveling art exhibit sponsored by the center. Though his artistic talent has brought Cevin a measure of fame at a tender age, it may not be his life’s calling. He says he has no definite plans to pursue art as a career. “I may take art classes if I go to college,” noted Cevin, “but I may not major in art.” Fire Wise Keeping safe from electrical fires— Brought to you in co-operation of The Maple Valley News and Vermontville Fire Department- With "enchanted" Crayons, young Cevin Cornish of rural Nashville has colored his way to top prizes in several holiday contests sponsored by the Maple Valley News.

Families hang around the house, watching TV and popping popcorn, turning up the electric blanket and hauling Aunt Emma’s World War II space heater from room to room. No wonder so many electrical fires strike this time of year! You can reduce your risk of electrical fires by taking a few minutes to inspect your appliances, extension cords and wiring. If you’re like most people, you could probably use something to do anyway, right about now. Start by inspecting your extension cords. Cords with worn or cracked insulation should be, discarded. Loose or cracked plugs can be cut off and replaced with inexpensive snap-ons. Now that your extension cords are in good repair, try to think of how many you can eliminate altogether. Now, visualize each extension cord in your house as a pugnacious gremlin who likes to play with matches behind your back, and think again. The fact is that extension cords are bad news. They’re easily crushed, a tempting toy for the little ones, and often mean that electricity if being abused. If you depend on extension cords to run permanent appliances like lamps and TV sets, or if you use taps to connect many appliances onto single plugs, your home may need ad­ ditional electric outlets. Keep that in mind, and press on. Inspect those seasonal appliances that come out of the attic every fall and go back each spring. They have a way of getting old and battered -- and the time to replace, say the electric blanket you took to college, is before it sets fire to your bedroom. Appliances that are physically battered, make humming or crackling noises, or emit “hot” odors should be taken out of ser­ vice until they can be in­ spected by a qualified repairman. By the way, even if Aunt Emma’s space heater looks OK, you might cut your electric bill by replacing it. We’ve learned a lot about energy efficiency since World War II. Now survey your home’s permanent wiring. Outlets and switches that are loose to the touch, or fuses and breakers that pop con­ stantly, may indicate that you need the services of a licensed electrician. Now it’s time to remember those extension cords and taps, and consider installing additional electric service. Many older homes aren’t wired for the energy demands of today’s elec­ tronic family. Old wiring that has badly deteriorated can get hot enough to spark a fire even when operated within the rating of its fuses or circuit breakers. For many homeowners, hiring an electrician can be a very fire-wise investment not only in good living, but perhaps in life itself. Congratulations. If you’ve conducted this common­ sense home inspection, you’ve made your family safer from electrical fire. But you can take your nose out of the fusebox now: I think the popcorn’s done.

The new Speaker of the House is Yp­ silanti Democrat Gary Owen, arid the new Minority Leader is Saginaw Republican J. Michael Bush. INAUGURAL INVITATIONS “ALL MICHIGAN’.’ MADE Michigan’s newly elected Governor James Blanchard’s inaugural invitations were designed in Troy, printed in Detroit with ink made in Flint on paper made in Niles and embossed with the official seal in Saginaw. Over 32,000 in­ vitations were sent out, and the entire inauguration, except for security personnel, was paid for by Blanchard’s organization. H.E.L.P. The Michigan Human Emergency Lift Program, created at the end of December by former Governor William G. Milliken to assist Michigan’s needy families, has received its first corporate contribution from the League Insurance Companies of Southfield.. The firm donated $26,520 to the trust fund that will be used to feed Michigan’s hungry during the human emergency declared by the Governor. Contributions are tax-deductible and can be sent to Michigan HELP; Dept, of Treasury, P.O. Box 15128, Lansing, MI 48922. TRAFFIC FATALITIES DROP AGAIN - Once again, Michigan posted a decline in traffic deaths for the third year in a row, with a decline of 200 deaths over the previous year. The poor economy, the 55 m.p.h. speed limit, broader en­ forcement of traffic laws, and a new awareness of seat belts and drunk driving'contributed to the fatality decline, ac­ cording to State Police and Department of Transportation officials. TOLL FREE NUMBER COULD PREVENT LOSS OF UTILITY SERVICES - You may be eligible for state and local programs created to protect hard-pressed Michigan residents from winter shut-off of utilities and not know it. To find out if you qualify, a toll-free number is in operation to answer your questions and explain your rights to you. The number is 1-800-292-5650.

SNOWMOBILE SAFETY - If we ever get any snow, Michigan snowmobilers are urged to use caution once again this year to prevent tragedy. In 1981-82,20 people were killed and 521 people were injured in 596 reported accidents. The figures are far below the 39 killed and 1,336 injured in Michigan’s worst snowmobile winter of 1974-75.

P.O. BoxB, Hastings, Ml. 49058 �The Maple Valley News. Nashville. Tuesday, January 11, 1983 — Page 8 Producing healthy calves is future of dairy business probably the most important (because of the antibiotic effect) is to make sure the calf drinks 1 or 2 quarts of colostrum within 1 or 2 hours after birth. There is a direct correlation between the length of time a calf gets colostrum and death rate of the calf. Colostrum is the first milk given by the cow and contains high amounts of antibodies, vitamins, protein and energy that the calf desperately needs. Colostrum may be stored in various ways and fed to newborn calves. Milking the fresh cow in the two-hour time limit may be a problem. Colostrum should be fed for at least 3 days at the rate of 8 percent of the body weight each day. In other words a 100 lb. calf should get 8 lbs. of colostrum per day. It is a good idea to give the calves an injection of Vitamin A, D and E plus selenium. After 3 days of age, whole milk or diluted colostrum may be fed at about 10 percent of body weight each day. The colostrum can be diluted by making a solution with 2 parts colostrum and 1 “The job of dairymen to produce healthy calves is the utmost importance. This is the future of the business”, says Roger Betz, Extension Agricultural Agent. Following are some tips on getting the calf off to a good start. The first consideration is the dry cow. She needs to be fed and managed properly in order to be in good health at calving. Proper vaccinations should be administered at the appropriate times. The next step is to have a clean, dry, well-bedded area at calving time. It is ex­ tremely important for the calf’s health not to get any manure or dirt in the mouth. If manure gets into the gut before colostrum, the an­ tibiotic effect of the colostrum will be cut in half. The third consideration is to make sure the calf is breathing. Mucous may be covering the nose and mouth. Drying off the calf quickly after birth will help prevent chilling. Iodine should be placed on the naval to prevent bacteria from entering the body. The fourth step and part water. If milk replacer is used, it should contain 20­ 22 percent protein and 20 percent fat. Milk replacer should be diluted 1 part to 7 parts water. When the calf reaches 18 days of age, a 16 percent crude protein supplemental grain should be fed free choice along with some good Eaton County beef cow-calf seminar to feature specialist Area Beef Producers can receive valuable information about their beef operation by attending the Beef Cow- Calf Seminar to be held January 19 in the Vo-Ag Room of Charlotte High School, starting at 8 p.m. Dr. Harlan Ritchie, Michigan State University Beef Cow- Calf Extension Specialist, will be the featured speaker.

Records & In­ service Day. Tips on Tax Laws by Mona Ellard Ext. Home Economist 1982 has come and gone. April 15 is on the way and that means federal income tax will be due. Whether you fill out the tax forms yourself or have someone prepare them for you, it will pay you to know about new changes in the tax laws that, affect you. The tax cuts passed in 1981 will have some of their first impact this year. Here are some of the provisions that may help you when you get all your tax information together this year. Individual Retirement Accounts (IRAs) - You could hardly have been reading the newspaper or listening to TV this past year and not heard about IRAs. Starting in 1982 and up to filing time — April 15, 1983 — qny person with earned income in 1982 can open an IRA. Even couples with a non-employed spouse have the opportunity to set aside some retirement in­ come for each spouse. Up to $2,000 per worker (or $2,250 in total for a coqple including a non-employed spouse) can be set aside this year. Not only will that amount not be counted as income for both federal and state taxes this year, but any interest earned will also be"tax deferred. IRAs do have some restrictions: you cannot withdraw the money until you are at least 59*2 years old or you will pay both a penalty and income taxes on the money you withdrew. Marriage Penalty Deduction. Many families with two income earners have found that they pay higher" taxes as a married couple than they would if they were two singles. The new marriage deduction allows the spouse with the lower income to deduct up to five percent, or a maximum of $1,500 before taxes are figured. This deduction is available whether you itemize or not. Child Care. The child care tax credit for families with children under the age of 15 is now figured on a sliding scale depending on income. Many families will be able to take a larger tax credit this year than in previous years. A tax credit is subtracted directly from the tax bill you owe. Be sure you have good records to support this ex­ pense. You will need to use the long federal tax form 1040, even if you take the standard deduction, and form 2441, Credit For Child Care Expenses. Special Charity Deduction. Taxpayers who do not itemize their deductions can deduct a portion of their charitable contributions this year. The amount is 25 percent of the first $100 contribution, or a maximum of $25. Adoption Expense Deduction. If you are adopting a handicapped or minority child, check into the adoption deduction. It provides a maximum of $1,500 for certain expenses such as adoption fees, court costs and attorney fees. Knowing about these new changes now may help you to claim all the credits and deductions you are eligible for and perhaps prevent you from having to do your return over. Don’t forget, farmers can pick up a Farm Tax Guide at the Cooperative Extension office, 126 N. Bostwick, Charlotte.

At Thursday’s council meeting, Village Clerk Susan Cornwell read a letter from Ray Obreiter, assistant district director for Farmers Home Administration, the federal agency which loaned funds for Nashville’s recent sewer expansion project. Obreiter wrote, in part: “One of the conditions of the loan was that the Village of Nashville certify that the local ordinance required mandatory use of the system and that the ordinance would be vigorously enforced.” He referred to the village’s sewer use ordinance which in sections 3 and 4 of Article II and section 2 of Article III requires mandatory hookup. Roughly one-third of the approximately 180 new users who were required by law to connect to the system by November 1, 1982, did not meet that deadline. At that time, the council began granting extensions up to six months on individual appeal from homeowners. An “easy pay” plan was established earlier by the council for those unable to pay the intitial $600 hookup fee. Commencing November 1, all potential users of the new system began receiving monthly billings of $9.05 sewer charge. Of that amount, $7.90 is for com­ modity use and $1.15 is designated for the water maintenance fund. Officials said it is necessary to start collecting the fees in order for the village to meet their financial obligations on the new system. At Thursday’s meetings, Mrs. Corkwell also read a letter from Mr. and Mrs. James Erwin of 429 S. Main Street, asking for exemption from hooking to the system. Village officials said Erwin’s home was originally con­ nected to the old system but that he had disconnected his residence from the service about 13 years ago. “If he hadn’t, it would have been a simple re­ connect (to the new system)?’ said Village President John Hughes. “There is no excuse for his not hooking up.” Hughes instructed Mrs. Corkwell to write a letter to Erwin, advising that hookup is mandatory but granting an extension until May 1. Erwin is to pay the $600 hookup fee plus the monthly sewer charge of $9.05, said Hughes. He also advised the clerk to tell Erwin that the new sewer service stub comes to his property line, since his letter indicated he was unaware of that fact. Present at the meeting was Mrs. Gloria Goodner of 401E. Francis Street, who is seeking an exemption from hookup because it is unclear whether the new line is at a level low enough to serve both floors of her home. Becoming the manufac­ turing arm for a New Jersey firm’s production of an in­ novative computer-age device may prove to be a “shot in the arm” for Vermontville’s Michigan Magnetics, Inc. According to Vice President Bernard Killinger, the Magnetics company is “one of the few survivors” of the magnetic recording industry in the United States. Founded in 1954 by Charles Murphy of Hastings, the Vermontville plant at its peak 20 years ago had 180 employees. Today, there are 45 workers with 30 others on lay-off. The operation closed twice before the company was bought in 1971 by John French of New Jersey; Killinger of rural Vermontville; Walter Jemison of Woodland and Malcolm Fox of Charlotte. Sandra McCarthy, one of the 45 employees presently working at Michigan Magnetics, assembles a recording head for use in a dictaphone. Other products now made at the plant include magnetic heads for use in tape recorders, credit card readers, key card locks, and equipment supplying recorded music on plane and trains. Continued on page 3— Maple Valley School board votes against summer tax collections Residents of the Maple Valley School District will not have to pay a portion of their property taxes in the summer of this year, the board of education decided at its Jan. 10 meeting. Under a recently passed state law, school districts have the authority to levy a summer tax collection of either one-half or all of the annua) school property tax levy. Prior to the new law, a school had to wait until the Vermontville firm to produce computer-age device by Susan Hinckley “Personally I think our line is too high (to serve the Goodner residence),” said Trustee Robert Fueri, Jr. “The village is going to have to prove we can give service to the home.” Fueri said he and project engineer Steven Heilman Principal stockholder is French, who soon will move into a home he is renovating at Algonquin Lake near Hastings. It is he who is largely responsible for in­ troducing the new venture in which Michigan Magnetics will produce computerized battery analyzers for Bat­ tery Data Systems, Inc. (BDS) of Boonton, New Jersey. BDS is a privately held company in which French is vice president. Corporate headquarters will remain in New Jersey. According to Killinger, the decline of the magnetic recording industry was precipitated by discovery and development of other ways to record and per­ manently file information through solid state technology and the micro chip. He also cites Japanese competition as a blow to the American industry. Killinger and the other Michigan Magnetics stockholders believe diversification is the answer. “Our job was to find other products that are part of the new technology,” notes Killinger. “We are a small company, so we can’t go out and tackle companies like IBM.” The answer may well be the Optima 3, on which production is slated to begin by April 1 at the Ver­ montville plant. The unit is designed to test industrial batteries com­ monly found on electric vehicles, such as forklift trucks, and batteries used in stationary applications in such places as power and telephone substations and nuclear power plants. Researched and developed by James Reed, president of Battery Data Systems, Inc., the Optima 3 can be used to detect premature cell failure, test new batteries at incoming inspection to in­ sure compliance with manufacturer’s specifications, allow replacement of faulty cells before permanent damage occurs, test repaired bat­ teries to insure valid repair, test battery capacity to determine appropriate sizes for existing equipment, and insure that a battery will perform properly to avoid premature failure, down­ time or damage to equip­ ment. “Nothing on the market now can do the job in the scope that Optima 3 will,” says Killinger. He sees it as an exciting new concept with virtually no competition. The units sell for $12,500, but cost of replacing an industrial battery can be as much as $3,000, notes Killinger. With market research completed, the Optima 3 now is being demonstrated to prospective buyers in the East. BDS expects to develop related products, such as computerized car battery testers. The potential is exciting to officials at Michigan Magnetics where annual sales presently are just under one million dollars. Killinger attributes the decision to bring the BDS operation to Vermontville to the fact that plant facilities and equipment are available without any capital outlay; that management personnel are already in place without duplication of staff; and that the area has potential for Continued on page 7— winter collection unless the villages and townships in­ corporated within the district agreed to a summer collection. A school district can now make that decision by itself. Maple Valley school of­ ficials, however, felt a summer collection, coming six months after the current winter tax bill, would burden many area taxpayers. Superintendent Carroll Wolff said that, “although the collection of summer taxes could help avoid borrowing funds involving interest expense, the board generally agreed that this was not a good year to begin such a summer tax program considering the (poor) economy and the number of people presently unem­ ployed. “With conditions such as they are, the board wasn’t sure twhat effect’ this collection would have on the people,” he said. Wolff noted also that the law was new and the “time factor” of meeting all the legal requirements for implementation was another reason for the decision. In other business, Wolff commented on the recent decision of Governor James Blanchard that the State of Michigan would not be making the February 1 state aid payment as scheduled under the state aid act. The Feburary state aid payment is estimated at $250,000 for Maple Valley. “At this time it is un­ certain as to the amount of state funds which might be received as well as when the money might be paid the school districts. Such delays by the state result in further financial problems for the local school district,” he said. Action was taken to re­ schedule the regular April board of education meeting. The meeting will be held on Monday, April 18 instead of April 11. The regular meetings are held in the school administration building beginning at 7 p.m. James Bryan, treasurer of the Maple Valley Athletic Continued on page 6- �The Maple Valley News, Nashville, Tuesday, January 18, 1983 — Page 2 Nashville News As a footnote to last week’s Memories of the Past on Nashville’s Class of 1917, we have learned that ’’'ere are probably nine (mav^e more) of the class still living. Mrs. Bunny Shaw of Nashville called to let us know that the name of Mayme Deller Borough of Rogers City should have been included in our list of survivors. The others we had named as still living were Myrtle Marshall Donovan of Mesa, Arizona; Mabel Ostroth Adams of Nashville; Gladys Mead Yarger of Hastings; Lurah Mead Gaskill of Detroit; Carl Nesman of Lansing; Earl Gibson of Long Beach, California; Harold Reynolds of Jackson; and Martha Walker of Mackinac Island. Information on the latter two (Reynolds and Walker) is inconclusive but according to our best sources, both are thought to still be among the living. Are there any others of the Class of 1917 who should be included in the list? According to the official alumni roster of NHS, there were 24 members of the Class of 1917. Condolences are extended to Max and Lynn Kelley, owners of Kelley Variety Store in Nashville, on the death Friday of his mother, Mrs. Amy Kelley of Jackson. Services were held there Monday, and the variety store was closed for the day in her memory. Mrs. Kelley, who was 88, had been in ill health, having suffered a stroke some time prior to her passing. Mrs. Lisa Levering and daughter, Amy, of Houston, Texas, are in Nashville for a three-week visit with her parents, Rev. and Mrs. Lester DeGroot. After their arrival last week Monday, the visitors accompanied the family on a trip to Pekin, Illinois, to see Mrs. DeGroot’s parents, Mr. and Mrs. Charles Forbes. “I enjoyed the Memories article on the (Nashville) opera house,” wrote former local resident Kenneth Meade of Franklin, in a letter received last week. “It brought back memories of some high school basketball games I played in there. Merle Vance, Vernor Lynn, Howard Deller, Paul Hen­ derson, Ralph Townsend and Harold Bahs were some of the others who played.” Meade added that he had “never been anything of an athlete,” but was a sub­ stitute on the Nashville team because there were too few boys who went out for the sport. “So any boy with fair eyesight and a warm body could be a substitute,” ob­ served Meade. “Thus I made it.” About the woodburning potbellied heating stoves that flanked either end of the opera house floor, Meade wrote: “At one basketball game that I watched bet­ ween NHS and Vermontville High School, a Vermontville player by the name of Janousek was burned on the shoulder when he slid into one of the stoves you men­ tioned in your article.

We must learn to lay down the ones’ that are not right­ fully ours and to assume the one’s that ought to be ours. There are several kinds ofburdens that we carry with us, the burden of sin, the burden that others lay upon us, the burden of responsibility, the burden that comes from being a caring person, and the burden of physical limitations. To carry a bur­ den too long or too far will drain us of our physical, emotional, and spiritual strength. We cannot bear them alone but find it necessary to find a place to lay them down either for a time or forever. In India where the people carry heavy burdens upon their heads or back as they travel the roads they have built “Burden Places” on the edge of the road where one may lay down one’s load for a rest. Within the framework of God’s love and care for us He has provided a place for us to lay down our burdens and to find rest in Him. I Peter 5:7 says; “Casting all your care upon Him; for he cares for you.” Jesus said, “Come unto me all ye that labor and are heavy laden and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn of me; for my yoke is easy and my burden is light.” Matthew 11:29. In times of discouragement, grief, failure or dis­ appointment — times when we want to give up — we find that our weakness turns into strength, our doubts into hope, and our fears into faith, and we can arise and go our way prepared to carry the burden that comes to us from life. Father, thank You for the gift of faith to carry us through the hard times. Amen. Rev. Leonard Putnam Nashville United Methodist Church Trowbridge Service - AUTO SERVICE CENTER 130 S.

Main St., Nashville Gary Priesman - Owner SCHOOL BOARD, from Boosters, presented the board of education with a check in the amount of $10,790.04 as full payment for the cost of the fall sports program. The board approved the investment of $15,000 from the new debt retirement account in a Super Savings Account at a presentrate of 9.75 percent at Comerical Bank in Nashville. There was a general discussion regarding some areas of the master contract agreement between the Eaton County Education Association (Maple Valley Teachersland the Maple Valley Board of Education. General discussion at the elementary level involved dismissal time at night for the students living in town and walking home from school. This could involve dismissing these students at 2:35 p.m. instead of 2:40 p.m. allowing more time for the students to leave the elementary school area before the busses arrive from the Jr-Sr High School. There was also some discussion relative to possibly increasing the lunch hour for elementary students by either five or ten minutes. At the Jr.-Sr. High School staff members have ex­ pressed concern related to the six-hour instructional day along with the possibility of increasing the amount of students passing time bet­ ween classes by one minute along with consideration of a short break-time between the second and third hours. No action was taken, and these matters will be further discussed by association members and the board negotiation team representatives at a meeting scheduled for January 17. General fund bills in the amount of $43,608,44 were approved for payment. The December 17 payroll in the amount of $100,307.96 and January 7 payroll in the amount of. $98,319.62 were approved for payment and transfer to the payroll ac­ count. The board approved compensation for Marjorie Wolff covering back pay adjustment for substituting for Audrey Watson based upon the present master agreement with the teacher association. At the December board meeting a letter had been received from Jean Cusick, Unisery Director for the Eaton County Education Association requesting that an adjustment be made in compliance with the master contract and state em­ ployment regulations. This matter had been referred to the school attorney, and the school attorney agreed with Cusick, taking into con­ sideration the Michigan front page Teachers Tenure Act. Board member Charles Viele reported that repair work should be completed on the building trades house the week of January 10. Wolff reported that the new electrical panels had been installed at the Kellogg Elementary School, and the insurance inspector has been notified regarding com­ pletion of the work. It is expected that he will be inspecting the building again in the near future. General curriculum and related revisions were ap­ proved at the Jr.-Sr. High school, as recommended by principal Burr Hartenburg. The changes included: - Revision related to allowing seniors with a high academic record to be ex­ cused from taking final examinations! - Changing the date report cards are given out at the Jr.-Sr. High School. Cards will be given out on Friday instead of Wednesday after the marking period ends. At the end of the first marking period the report cards will be given out at the parent­ teacher conferences which are scheduled to be held Thursday afternoon and evening and also on Friday. At the Jr. high level, Michigan History and Geography would become a semester study within the current geography class. Two sections of reading will be established for those students tested to be in need of extra help in reading. A semester of health would be included at the 7th grade. Sr. high changes include raising mathematics requirements from one to .two credits minimum for graduation. A minimum of three credits in English would be required. The total credit requirement for graduationis nineteen (19) for 1983. This would be raised to 19% in 1984 and to 20 credits in 1985. New classes would include Typing II and Accounting II along with consideration of courses in computer science and environmental education. Board member Ron Tobias voted against this change. Further information will be provided at a later date regarding possible revisions in the English program as well as changes within the U.S. History and Govern­ ment classes. Anyone desiring further information regarding these changes at the Jr.-Sr. High school should contact principal Burr Hartenburg by call 852­ 9275.

Within the past week, French also has brought to the Michigan Magnetics plant another New Jersey firm, Gemco, Inc., of which he is principal stockholder. Considered a “sister in­ dustry” to Michigan Magnetics, Gemco, based at Fairfield, New Jersey, also manufactures recorder heads but the product is of a more sophisticated line, being used in professional recording equipment. Killinger said that the chief operator of Gemco will come to Vermontville from New Jersey to train present Michigan Magnetics em­ ployees in production of the Gemco line.

The Lions have been unable to win a basketball game since the vacation. The four losses have been by a total of seven points — the last two by one point each. Valley held leads ofup to 10 points in the losses but were unable to maintain the advantage into the final minutes. In Tuesday’s home game against league foe Springfield, the- Lions had built a 33-27 half-time lead and widened it a point to 47­ 40 by the end of the third. A 10 point advantage in favor of Valley with minutes to play made the home town fans breathe a little easier but the Rams had different ideas. The Rams’ full court press began to bother the Lions I $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).

Even the freethrow line turned on the Lions. Valley had connected on 13 of 16 charity tosses in the first three quarters, including an 8 of 8 per­ formance by Jeff Hamilton, but could only manage two of six attempts in the final period. The Rams grabbed the lead for the first time in the game with two seconds remaining on the clock. Senior Mickey Mahon netted 17 points for Valley play. The Lions failed to score and the game went into overtime. Free throws won the game for Bronson. Each team scored two field goals but the Vikings hit four of seven at the charity stripe and Valley netted one of four. Jeff Hamilton and Mickey Mahon hit 30 and 27 points respectively. Tony Dunkelberger added 16. Randy Joostberns drew the tough job of defending Mark German and held the leading Viking scorer under his average. Maple Valley JVs eagers defeat Springfield: fall victim to Bronson On Tuesday, Maple Valley completely dominated Springfield in coasting to an 82 to 36 win. The JV Lions led after one quarter 20 to 10 and by a 45 to 18 lead at half-time. All 12 JV Lions took part in the victory and 11 scored in the game.

On Friday the Lions traveled to Bronson and played a good game defensively and controlled Family Hair Care Salon Irene’s Beauty Shop 204 N. Main Nashville and had five assists. Sophomore Jeff Hamilton led all scorers with 24 points; Tony Dunkelburger had 15 and grabbed 10 rebounds. League leader Bronson needed an overtime to defeat their visitors Friday but again they came from behind to overtake the Lions. Valley led the entire game and held an eight point lead when the Vikings began to take charge. Two free throws by two-time All­ Stater Mark German of Bronson gave the hosts the tie, 72-72, with 38 seconds to 852-9107 the rebounds. However, poorfield goal shooting and free throw shooting was their downfall. The JVs were ahead 21 to 20 at the half, but were behind 32 to 30 after three quarters and lost 45 to 40. The JVs only made 16 of 57 field goal attmepts and 8 to 15 free throws. Bronson made 22 of 48 field goal at­ tempts. Maple Valley con­ trolled the boards and commited fewer turnovers but they were a few points short on the scoreboard. Rebounding leaders for Maple Valley were Ryan Trowbridge, 10; Greg-Lenz, 10; Gary Reid, 8; Jim Colby, 6; Alan Mater, 3; and Kurt Hartenburg, 3. Scoring for Maple Valley were Gary Reid, 14 pts.; Ryan Trowbridge, 10 pts.; Greg Lenz, 6 pts.; Kurt Hartenburg, 6 pts.; Jim Colby, 3 pts.; and Shan Ferrier, 1 pt.

Brought to you in co-operation The Maple Valley News and Vermontville Fire Department “Help, my house is on fire. Children are trapped. Come quick!” Click. Calls like that are every fire dispatcher’s nightmare. He knows that lives and property are in danger - but what can he do? Climb the antenna tower and look for smoke? In emergency situations, from fires to heart attacks, the way you report the emergency can be the dif­ ference between life and death. Remembering the dictum that “They can’t help you if they can’t find you,” consider these tips for fire­ -wise emergency telephoning. Keep emergency numbers close to your telephone. Fire, police ambulance and doctors’ numbers should be written on a piece of paper and taped on the wall - or use stick-on emergency number labels on the telephone itslef. In many areas, dialing 911 puts you in touch with all your com­ munity’s emergency ser­ vices. Keep calm. Dispatchers can’t help you if they can’t understand you. Speak slowly and clearly. State the nature of your emergency and your address, and stay on the line so the dispatcher can confirm your address and obtain any other in­ formation he may need. Give directions to your address, if necessary. Remember that in many communities there may be more than one street with the same name as yours. In case of fire, get out first and call later. A small house fire can spread and fill the home with smoke and toxic gases more quickly than you might imagine. So if you waken to discover your house is afire, get out first. Get the spouse and the children out, get yourself out, and don’t go back. Possessions can be replaced... you can’t. Report the fire from a neighbor’s phone, or drive to the nearest public telephone and report your emergency as outlined above. Never try to “tough it out” in a smokefilled structure reporting a fire - it may be your last gasp. If your neighborhood still has emergency call boxes, use one according to the directions molded on the box, and then stay by the box. Firefighters will report to the box itself, and someone must be there to direct them to your house. By the way, if your home contains any unusual fire hazards — for example, if you’re a sportsman who loads his own shotgun shells and stores quantities of gunpowder in the basement - let the dispatcher know that. If you believe people are still trapped in the building, tell the dispatcher that and describe their location, if you know it. And be prepared to repeat that information to the first firefighters who arrive at your home. Fire-wise telephoning can keep a potentially dangerous fire from becoming an un­ necessary tragedy. So keep your head screwed on and you’ll keep it for life. Fire-Wise is brought to you by the Maple Valley News and Vermontville Fire Department as a public service message.

Ionia Road VERMONTVILLE Ph. 726-0486 �The Maple Valley News, Nashville, Tuesday, January 18, 1983 — Page 9 Farmers for safety’s sake “keep your guard up It isn’t difficult to find a farmer who’s had an encounter with an unguarded revolving shaft or nip point that caused the loss of a finger, hand, arm or leg or some other injury. “Missing shield and guarding, machinery pinch points and wrap points are among the frequent hazards on the farm,” says Roger A. Betz, Eaton County Ex­ tension Ag. Agent. “For safety, it’s important to maintain proper machinery guards and work carefully around equipment moving parts that can’t be guarded without interfering with their purpose.” Of the approximately 500 farm machinery accidents that occur in Michigan each year, half involve tractors. Up to one-third of these accidents occur because guards had been left off PTOs or PTO- powered shafts. An unguarded PTO shaft is dangerous. I can catch on your clothing before you realize it. If you’re lucky, your clothes will tear, freeing you without serious injury. If you’re not, you could be strangled or mutilated within seconds. There are a lot of horror stories about operators who became fatally wrapped around spinning machinery shafts before help could stop the tractor; Older tractors are equipped with shielding that is often held in place by bolts. Because detachment and replacement takes time, many tractor operators are often tempted to leave them off. This can be a fatal mistake. Modern tractor guarding and shielding is often designed to swing away for easy maintenance. Even then some farmers tend to remove guarding. The extra time required to put the shield in place, however, is little to pay for the protection it provides. Pinch points on rotating parts are formed when two objects move together - at the point where a belt runs into a pulley, for example. Other potentially dangerous places are mesh points, runon points and entry points. These are usually described in the owner’s manual that comes with farm machinery. Serious injury can occur when hands, feet or other parts of the body are caught directly in pinch points or when they are drawn into them by loose clothing. People can also become entangled when they deliberately take chances and reach or work near rotating parts.

Corkwell, Village Clerk Manufacturers generally provide shields for most pinch points, but some, such as rollers on corn heads or mowers, cannot be shielded because they must remain open for the machine to operate effectively. For areas that cannot be shielded, the best protection available is operator awareness. Know these areas and teach others who operate -this kind of machinery about potential dangers. Above all, never attempt to service or unclog machinery until the power has been disengaged, the engine has been shut off and all parts have stopped moving. Any exposed piece of machinery that rotates is a potential wrap point. The wrapping can begin with just a thread or a frayed piece of cloth, such as a cuff or sleeve, catching on a rotating part. Then the strong fibers and the cloth itself wrap around the rotating part so tightly that EATON COUNTY FARM AND HOME CALENDAR there generally is no escape. Smooth shafts may appear harmless, but they can grab a person as quickly as PTO shafts and pinch points, rust, nicks, dried mud, or dried manure may make them rough so they can catch clothing if someone leans against them. Even shafts that rotate slowly must be regarded as potential wrapping points. Be sure you machinery maintenance program this Winter includes replacing all guarding and shielding that has been taken off machinery or lost. Equip­ ment dealers can replace most missing items and supply you with warning decals to replace those whihch are are faded or deteriorated. Carefully evaluate the danger points on all machinery and be sure to instruct anyone who will be operating the equipment about the potential for becoming entangled in machinery. Michigan dry bean outlook not promisingfor 1983 Navy bean prices are not expected to rise much above the current $10 per hun­ dredweight (cwt) during 1983. “If new markets can be found in 1983, the industry could reduce inventories and the pressure for a drastic cutback in the 1983-84 crop,” says Michael Weber, Michigan State University agricultural economist. “But it is not likely.” The 1982-83 dry bean crop is estimated at 7.29 million cwt and prices at about $11 per cwt. It is estimated that the 1983-84 crop will be 5.5 million cwt and prices will be about $18 per cwt. Part of the reason for the navy bean depression in Michigan is the size of the crop produced in other areas. The 1982 navy bean crop produced in Minnesota and North Dakota is estimated at two million cwt and the Ontario crop at 1.6 million cwt. Michigan’s 1982 navy bean crop is 5.3 million cwt. This record-breaking crop — nearly nine million cwt — is 34 percent larger than the 1981 crop. Wednesday, Jan. 19 - 8-10 p.m. Beef Management meeting, Vo-Ag Room, Charlotte High School.

The delayed payments total $500 million. Previous delays have occurred in past years, but delays have always been announced with due dates. This delay has been called “in­ definite” by the Governor’s office. SUPREME COURT TO TRY OWN CASE - Michigan residents will learn sometime after January 24 whether or not Associate Supreme Court Justice Dorothy Comstock Riley will continue to serve out the term of the late Justice Blair Moody, Jr. The Michigan Supreme Court will hear the. case on that day. MICHIGAN WEATHER DELAYS ANNUAL WINTER FEST - Michigan’s unseasonably warm weather continues to baffle meterologists and winter sports enthusiasts alike. Houghton Lake’s famous “Tip-Up Town, UJ§.A.”, the nation’s second largest winter festival, has been postponed from January 15-16 and 22-23, till January 29-30 and February 5-6. While the autumn-like weather is easing the burden of heating homes, cleaning streets and highways, and otherwise saving all of us money, it is creating economic havoc in areas of the state which normally depend on snow and ice for recreation-oriented income. HOW TO AVOID THE FLU? STOP SMOKING! - The American Lung Association of Michigan cites an article in the highly-respected “New England Journal of Medicine” that could help you avoid the flu and colds that commonly occur in the winter months. If you smoke more than a pack of cigarettes a day, your chances of contacting an illness are 25 percent higher than non-smokers. The chances and severity of disease or illness increases with the number of cigarettes smoked daily. For more information, you can contact the American Lung Association, toll-free, at 1-800­ 292-5979. MICHIGAN COLLEGE ENROLLMENTS CONTINUE DECLINE - While private colleges and community colleges posted enrollment gains for the 1982-83 school year, state colleges and universities are experiencing declines for the second straight year. The State School Superintendent foresees a continued drop in enrollments throughout the 1980s as the college-aged population continues to shrink following the post-war “baby boom”. GOOD SAMARITAN ACT - The state’s needy will have more to eat this winter because of a new state law that en­ courages donations to food banks and charitable organizations. The “Good Samaritan Act” allows food service establishments, licensed canners, farmers, restaurants, food wholesalers, food distributors and grocery stores to donate needed food to food banks, soup kitchens and other charitable organizations without fear of liability under the law. Before the law was passed, food-oriented businesses were reluctant to contribute food because of legal red tape.

Selecting a realistic goal for crop yields requires careful evaluation of soil resources, field history and management ability, Wallingford stated.

If alfalfa yields continue to increase by .11 ton per acre, Wallingford said, yields could reach 4.3 tons per acre by 1990. Based on trend analysis, he does not expect wheat yields to exceed 50 bushels per acre until after 1990. Higher wheat yields can be obtained, he said, by using stiff-strawed wheat varieties and higher seeding rates. Harold Dingman Larry Spaulding .

The Republican candidate for trustee said he is with­ drawing from the race due to health problems. A recent hospitalization revealed two ulcers and problems with a diabetic condition, said Engle. “I’m going to bow out (of the race),” said Engle. “I’d like to run but (feel) I can’t serve at this time.” Village Clerk Susan Cork­ well said ballots for the election had already been printed by the time Engle announced his withdrawal from the field of eight Republican candidates seeking three seats opening in the spring on the village council. There also is one Democratic candidate on the ballot. Profiles on the eight remaining candidates, all of whom are seeking two-year terms, will appear in the February 8th and February 15th issues of the Maple Valley News. sweetheart.

Dentist tells students about decay by Susan Hinckley In a Wednesday presentation at Fuller Street school, Nashville dentist Dr. Hugh Overholt tells fourth-graders how proper brushing and avoidance of refined sugars and starches can help prevent tooth decay. Toothbrushes provided by Dr. Overholt were distributed to the students at the conclusion of the program. A healthy smile may be a lifetime reward for Fuller Street fourth-graders who heed advice given Wed­ nesday by Nashville dentist Dr. Hugh Overholt. In. a presentation to the combined classes of teachers Geri Long, Pat Hansen and Dave Doozan, Dr. Overholt told the children about proper dental hygiene and other health tips. He explained that the two primary factors in preventing tooth decay are proper brushing brushing and avoiding sugar. “Use honey (as a sweetener) instead of the sugar bowl,” advised Overholt. “Not only for the sake of your teeth, but for your whole body.” He illustrated his point by noting that it was only after white man introduced sugar and white flour to them that the American Indians and Eskimos developed cavities in their teeth. Overholt said he often sees local youngsters buying pop and candy as early as 8 a.m. “All snack foods are really bad for you,” remarked Overholt. He suggested that treats should consist of fresh fruits and vegetables and added that the next time a special a party is held at the school, the children should ask their moms to prepare sugarless treats, using a little honey as sweetener if necessary. Overholt also advocated avoiding the use of white flour. “Get Mom to buy whole wheat bread,” he urged. Free toothbrushes were distributed to the children, and Dr. Overholt instructed the students in proper brushing procedures. “Most boys and girls don’t get up along the gum line,” he noted. Overholt suggested use of a soft brush and said one should be able to brush gums without bleeding. “If your gums bleed when you brush them, something is wrong,” he added. The dentist explained the use of dental floss, and told of the buildup of plaque and tartar, saying the latter more often affects adults than children. He said that most of the children in the audience, whose average age is 10, should have about 12 of their permanent teeth now, with 20 more to come. Dr. Overholt told the youngsters they should see their dentist about twice a year, except for unusual cases, and should brush thorougly at least once a day though it is better to brush after every meal if possible. “But instead of brushing five times a day and doing a careless job, it is better to do it once and do a good job,” he concluded. Dr. Overholt uses this chart to illustrate dental procedures. �The Maple Valley News, Nashville, Tuesday, January 25, 1983 — Page 2 Nashville News Despite a weekend on­ slaught of rain, snow, and ice, Old Man Winter failed to gain a foothold in the Maple Valley area. The vicinity took on a more seasonal look and driving was somewhat treacherous, but total ground accumulation of white “slush” amounted to less than half an inch. Temperatures in the mid to high 30s range helped melt the snow nearly as fast as it fell.

FOL officials stress the need for support of the group. “All that is required for mem­ bership is an interest in the library and a willingness to help,” they note. “No dues are collected.” They add that if lack of interest allows the organization to “die out”, the library will lose “a vital supply of money, volunteers and friends.” The FOL officials urge members to help keep the organization “going and growing” by recommending friends and neighbors as new members. Among the many projects conducted by Friends of the Library for the benefit of Putnam Public Library last year were the production and sale of some 800 copies of a cookbook containing community recipes; the July summer story hours for children, and another at Christmastime; a traditional Easter bake sale; two used books sales; plus open houses and other events at Putnam in October to mark National Library Month.

January 25 1983 — Page 4 Everybody had credit at Appleman’s Grocery The recent death of Nash­ ville native Harry Appelman of Hastings prompts the return of this story, first published as a Memories of the Past feature on Sep­ tember 19, 1979. The photo of the Appelman store, found in his persona] effects, was furnished to us by his stepdaughter, Mrs. Iris Welton of Middleville. It was Harry’s parents, John and Lillian Appelman, who founded the grocery store which for several years occupied a prominent position at the intersection of Nashville’s Main and Washington streets — first on the northeast corner and later on the southwest. The reprinting of this story also is offered as a tribute to our late friend, Vern Staup, whose passing last October left a serious void in our Memories research. Vern, a nephew to the John Appelmans, helped us not only with this story about his uncle’s store, but with countless other pieces published in the Memories column over the past few years. John Appelman "trusted everyboy," according to his nephew the late Venn Staup, and when he died on May 17,1939, at age 70, many folks still owed Appelman for goods bought on credit during the Depression years. Recycling containers was never much of a problem back when John Appelman’s grocery store was a main­ stay in Nashville’s business district It was a way of life. Canned goods were far and few between in those early days, and a tin can became a prized possession of many a young fisherman. “About the only canned goods in those days were salmon and sardines,” remembered Vern Staup, who was a nephew to John Appelman. “A tin can was a rarity; if we kids found one, we’d hang on to it and use it over and over again to carry bait.” John Appelman and his wife, the former Lillian Elliston, owned and operated the grocery store on the northeast corner of the Main and Washington streets intersection (site of the present-day coin laundry). A diagonal move in late 1925 relocated the business in the 1880 Buxton Block on the southwest corner (the quarters now commonly recalled as the old Stop and Shop). “John Appelman has rented the Buxton building and is moving his grocery store there from the Frank Kellogg store, across the corner,” announced the Nashville News on December 3, 1925. The Appelmans’ sons, Harry and Arthur, helped out in the store. “Art delivered groceries for Uncle John,” recalled Vern. Baskets lined one wall of the store. These were used for filling phoned-in orders which then were transported by horse and wagon to the homes of customers. Such purchases generally were charged. “Most everything was put on the books,” remembers Vada Hummel Mix, who clerked in the store in the early 1920s. “Folks paid once a week, when they got their NEEDED A Creative Talent The committee for the 1983 Vermontville Maple Syrup Festival Parade are in need of a theme for this year’s parade.

Appelman also started selling radios about 1925, the year he moved into this building, and the advertisement RADIO can be faintly discerned on the open awning, above Appelman's name. Lillian and John Appelman show their well-stocked store, about 1915. Tobacco counter at left advertises Sunshine cigarettes. Free sulphur matches attracted youngsters as did wide selection of candy. Canned goods were few; most foods were dispensed from butter for groceries,” recalls Mrs. Mix. “When I worked at the store, Milan Cooley’s job was to candle all the eggs received.” All goods bought from other than local suppliers were shipped into town by rail and picked up at the freight depot by the Appelmans. A horse and wagon, or dray as it was called, trucked the groceries the few blocks to the store. Appelman’s Grocery was a special delight to local youngsters who were at­ tracted to spacious candy displays in the front of the store. “If we got a nickel, we would go to Uncle John’s,” reminisced Vern. “He would never weigh the candy; he’d just scoop up a big bunch for us and away we’d go.” Another attraction for children in those early years were large sulpher matches left in loose quantities, free for the taking, on the store’s counters. “We kids probably weren’t supposed to help ourselves to those, but we did,” said Vern. “They were mainly for men who bought cigars there.” Appelman’s carried an exstensive line of cigars, cigarettes and tabaccos. Matches weren’t the only bulk item in the store. “Not many foods were packaged in those days,” remembered Vern. Fresh ground coffee, white and brown sugar, tea, flour, cookies, soda crackers, dried fruits, and cheese were a few of the goods sold by weight, dispensed from large con­ tainers. Even shortening was sold by the pound, scooped from wooden storage kegs in the back room. “Dried sweet corn was also sold by the pound at Appelman’s,” recalls Mrs. Mix. “A lady living north of town cut corn from the cob and dried it.” To prepare the corn later, housewives would soak it overnight in water before cooking it. “I believe it tasted better than canned or frozen corn we get now,” notes Mrs. Mix. Appelman’s back room was filled with barrels of molasses, vinegar, and kerosene. Bushels of fresh fruit and vegetables, in season, and potatoes were other standard items stored in large quantities. “I often teased Uncle John that he used more potatoes bulk containers. A ceiling rack displays brooms (behind John); a rocking chair beckons chit-chatter to the back room. The store was open from 7 a.m. to 11 p.m. every day but Sunday. on kerosene cans than he sold,” commented Vern. Containers brought to the store for fuel often were without caps. Appelman would stick a raw potato over the spout of a filled can as a makeshift stopper so the customer could safely carry the fuel home. Appelman’s back room, like those of most general stores of that era, was a gathering spot for the community. There was a potbellied stove with rocking chairs nearby. “Men would sit around the stove and smoke until the air in the store was just blue,” remembers one senior citizen who clerked in the store as a young girl, earning a $10 weekly salary about 1917. Out front of the store, a community well provided drinking water from a tin cup chained to a small hand pump located near the northeast corner of the in­ tersection.

Announced the Nashville News in early December 1926: “John Appelman, who has been selling radio receivers at is Corner Grocery for more than a year, has sold 23 of the new Cherokee one-dial, six tube sets since they came out, and has half a dozen more on hand this week. Price, complete and installed, $125.” After the relocation, Appelman also continued to sell groceries on credit. “Uncle John trusted everybody he could during the Depression years,” remembered Vern. “When he died, many folks still owed him.” 1936, In November following Appelman ’s retirement and three years after Roman Felpausch opened his original grocery store in Hastings, he started a second Food -Center in the old Appelman location in the Buxton Block. Felpausch continued operation of the Nashville store under direction of various managers until November 1948, when he closed the local grocery and expanded his Hastings market. Long before then Nashville had also seen the demise of Appelman’s original Main Street location. The old frame building on the nor­ theast corner which harked back to the 1870s as the Lee Brothers store and later Buel & White’s, was razed in 1926 by owner Frank Kellogg to make way for the new White Rose gas station to be operated by Jim Eddy and his son, Duff. Later, the station was torn downfor construction of the presentday laundromat which oc­ cupies the site. Nashville’s Main Street has seen many changes since John Appelman’s day, but the Washington Street in­ tersection where he held forth so many years still echos many happy memories of the past.

Oneway to prepare for this emergency is to keep certain essential items in your car Flares can be used to signal approaching motorists that you’re having trouble. They can be pur­ chased inexpensively in the discount stores. A flashlight is important, especially for night driving. Be sure to test your batteries before traveling. Sand or cat box filler will help to. provide traction if your car gets stuck in the snow. Other essentials are a tow chain or cable; blankets for extra warmth; hard candy for quick energy; a small shovel; jumper cables; rags; a snow brush and ice scraper; and candles, matches and a coffee can to melt snow for drinking water. A garbage bag can also be used to keep you warm by helping insulate you against the cold. On long trips, take along an extra shirt or sweater or wear thermal underwear. To stay warm, dry and alert, keep head, hands and feet covered. Ninety-percent of your total body heat is lost through your head. Before starting out on the road, check weather reports so you can anticipate problems before you get to them. In Michigan, you can also call the state police for reports on hazardous road conditions. But it is time now to make up a emergency box for each vehicle, there may come a day when you’re glad you did.

January 25, 1983 — Page 6 Drug usage is cover-up of youth's problems, sheriff tells Lions Club by Susan Hinckley Concern and awareness are needed to combat the drug scene, learned Nash­ ville Lions and their guests at a Monday night dinner meeting at United Methodist Community House. Making an informative presentation on substance abuse was Barry County Sheriff David Wood. Nearly 60 persons were in at­ tendance at the event. “Some parents like to keep their heads in the sand," said Wood. “Some like to think it's going to go away on its own. It isn't.” He urged adults to be concerned about the problem of drugs, which he said he has found “as far down as the fifth grade.” Wood noted that the population of Barry County jail now often is comprised of a large segment of young people, from age 17 to mid208. “The amount of money generated today in America (from illegal drugs) is one key reason why drugs are going to be around a long time.” said Wood. He noted that in 1979, a national report set the annual income of the illegal drug business at 79 billion dollars for the year. Wood noted that, except for the Exxon Corp., no other company in America made as much money as the drug business did that year. In his discussion, Wood touched on the effects and symptoms of using cocaine, marijuana and heroin. Among signs of narcotic use are watery, glassy eyes and small pupils; inflamed nostrils, with a constantly “runny” nose; scars and marks; anti-social behavior; drowsiness and listlessness, Wood explained the dif­ ferences between am­ phetamines, barbituates, hallucinogens, and in- toxicants. He also talked of the problem of “sniffing” such substances as glue or hair spray, and noted that this can cause permanent brain damage. Wood also spoke of the misuse of over-the-counter and prescription drugs and told of “diet freaks” who abuse appetite depressant medications. The sheriff also included tobacco and alcohol on his list. “When we talk of misuse and abuse of substances, smoking and drinking have to go along with it,” ex­ plained Wood. He told of drinking problems of young people today and said he “could not start to compare it” with the drinking of the 1950s era when parents of many of today’s youths grew up. Wood said that often when his department apprehends youngsters for intoxication Who can you count on to lend a helping hand? You can count on us. We help when disaster strikes.

Wil You? American Red Cross A Public Service of This Newspaper CTH & The Advertising Council c.-J! Barry County Sheriff David Wood spoke Monday to the Nashville Lions Club about drug abuse. The table is laden with an exhibit of drug paraphernalia Wood brought to show the local audience. (Maple Valley News photos by Susan Hinckley) and parents are notified, they say something like, “I’m glad it’s only that, not drugs.” But Wood pointed out that alcohol often is used to mask the use of drugs. He attributes much of youthful drig usage to peer pressure, but stressed that drug usage often is a “coverup for other problems the kids have.” Among the signs that could indicate drug use, and which parents and other adults should be alert to, are changes in attitude, friends or behavior; absenteeism from school; slipping grades; the need for money; and listlessness. Wood said parents should become informed so that when “something happens” they will know how to handle it. He urges adults to hear what the children are saying. “You can determine a lot of things by listening to young people,” he said. “Listen and learn where these young people are ‘coming from’.” Among things he said parents could do in addition to listening and learning is to discuss problems with their children without being one­ sided; set an example; avoid sensationalism or panic; and seek professional help if needed. The sheriff said parents should respect drugs, discard old medications, and start educating their children as preschoolers that they are never to take pills from anyone except their parents, a doctor or nurse, or specified teacher. He said they should be instructed in the danger of taking medications prescribed for others and warned never to accept pills offered by classmates or other people. Finally, Wood urged adults to “take a stand.” His, he said, was against the legalization of marijuana. If it were legalized, predicted Wood, “We’re not going to be able to control it any better than alcohol.” He cited the number of alcohol-related auto deaths and injuries. Wood also noted that one marijuana cigarette con­ tains as much of the cancer­ causing ingredients found in an entire pack of regular cigarettes. The sheriff ex­ plained that there is particular “pressure on Michigan” in drugs because of the geographical location of the state. Ships from such places as South America can dock at Detroit and other Great Lakes ports without checks Water pipes and other drug-related paraphernalia rated a closer inspection Monday evening, after Sheriff Wood concluded his talk to the Nashville Lions. of cargo. He noted that he now has stored in theevidence room at his department 70 pounds of Columbian marijuana seized in a recent arrest. He also noted that some marijuana is grown in Michigan and showed a sample of the plant to the Nashville audience.’ Also exhibited were “blotter acid” LSD,, LSD, marijuana cigarettes, and various drug paraphernalia, plus magazines touting the drug habit which can be bought freely by youths. Barry County’s proximity to major cities also makes this a vulnerable area for drugs, explained Wood. “Drugs found in Barry County, both in Battle Creek and Kalamazoo, have been directly connected to organized crime,” said Wood. He explained that this area is in a “crime corridor” between Chicago and Detroit. The sheriff added that undercover narcotics investigations have proven to be “very difficult, and verj' expensive.” Maple Valley Athletic Boosters BINGO MAPLE VALLEY HIGH SCHOOL CAFETERIA THURSDAYS... 7:00 p.m. Early Birds ... 6:30 p.m. Maple Valley Concrete Products WINTER HOURS Monday thru Friday 8:30 to 5:00 Saturday 8:30 to 3:00 (517) 852-1900 South Side of Nashville on M-66 �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 55 Phone 945-9554 Hastings �The Maple Volley News.

Fire Wise Thaw frozen pipes firewisely Brought to you in co-operation The Maple Valley News and Vermontville Fire Deportment- *Tis the season to discover frozen pipes. People coming back to the house from a Florida vacation, or going to the cottage near the ski lift for the first time in months, or waking up a-shiver after the furnace goes on the blink at 2 a.m... these people and more face the challenge of thawing frozen pipes. The challenge is really two-fold. First, of course, you want to get the pipe thawed out. But it’s equally important to achieve the goal without burning your house down, don’t you agree? Using a heat torch calls for great care. For those of us who aren’t welders of U.S. Army flame-thrower ex­ perts, the torch may be the hottest, most dangerous open flame we ever handle. Read and follow - label directions referring to lighting techniques, when and how far to open the valve, and how far to hold the torch from the pipe. Wherever possible, apply the flame to a portion of the pipe which is not in close proximity to wood framing members in your basement ceiling. If your basement is finished, remember that most suspended ceiling tile and wood paneling can burn — get it well out of the way. If you must use the torch close to wooden framing — for example, when a water pipe is anchored to or near the basement ceiling joists throughout its length — reach up between the joists with your torch hand. That way the flame strikes the pipe level or at a downward angle — flammable wood surfaces are less directly exposed to the flame. When torch-thawing pipes, it’s a good idea to keep two things close at hand. One is another person... the other is a fire extinguisher. Here are some simple techniques for preventing pipes from freezing in the first place. For pipes near perimeter walls of unheated basements or in little used buildings, consider installing heat tapes. These adhesive strips wrap around the pipe and are plugged into an electric outlet. They provide just enough heat to prevent freezing. Be sure to look for the UL label when buying electric appliances. The easiest way to prevent pipes from freezing, if the house will not be unattended for a long period, is simply to leave water faucets open very slightly so that your taps drip just a bit. The tranquil lake freezes long before the babbling brook. In the same way, the tiny bit of current you create in your pipes can prevent the water from freezing even if its temperature falls below 32 degrees. Fire-Wise is brought to you by the Maple Valley News and Vermontville Fire Department as a public service message.

The free trees, which are part of the Foundation’s effort to promote tree planting throughout America, will be shipped at the appropriate time for planting this spring. Black Walnut trees were chosen for this campaign because of their value and versatility, according to the Foundation.

It is anticipated that the new Governor will outline his program to dispose of Michigan’s $750 million budget deficit. MICHIGAN IS NOT ALONE - Michigan’s neighboring states are having budget problems, too. Indiana and Minnesota recently raised the state income tax to help battle budget deficits, while Ohio and Illinois have cut their 1982-83 fiscal year budgets. The National Conference of State Legislatures reports that a total of 33 states have ex­ perienced mid-year budget cuts already, and four states have recently increased state income taxes, state sales taxes, or both to make ends meet. REYE’S SYNDROME - Parents of small children should be reminded that late January and February, “the flu and chickenpox season”, is the period when the threat of Reye’s is at its peak. The Michigan Department of Public Health advises parents to be on the lookout for symptoms of Reye’s in their children following viral illness, especially the flu and chickenpox. Symptoms include persistent vomiting, drowsiness, combativeness, and behavioral changes. Children with these symptoms should be taken to a family physician as soon as possible. Three cases of Reye’s Syn­ drome have been reported in Michigan children since last October. MORE ABOUT ROBOTICS - A study conducted by the W. E. Upjohn Institute in Kalamazoo, and released by the Michigan Occupational Information Coordinating Com­ mittee of the State of Michigan, states that by 1990, some 13,500 to 24,000 jobs in Michigan will be lost due to robotics. It also explained that Michigan might be able to create another 5,000 to 18,000 jobs through robotics manufacturing, depending on sales and the state’s market share of the robot industry. Currently, there are 6,800 robots in use in the U.S., and they are manufactured by 2,000 workers. However, by 1990, the report states that the robot population will jump 50,000 to 100,000 units with 7,000 to 12,000 of those robots working in Michigan. It also forecasts that, outside the auto industry, only 750 to 2,700 robotics technicians will be needed in Michigan in 1990. RECESSION IN “VERY LAST STAGES” - Public Sector Consultants of East Lansing announced that their research indicates that the current recession may be over at last, or at best, is in its “very last stages”. Using economic in­ dicators, compared with past recessions, the consulting firm predicts that the recovery period will be long, and slow­ paced. Steady declines in interest rates, and increases in car sales and building starts appear to be sustained activity, heralding an upturn in the economy. WELFARE CASELOADS SURGE - Dramatic increases in General Assistance and ADC-Unemployed cases have boosted the number of caseloads in those two areas to all­ time highs. The Department of Social Services reports that an additional 5,000 cases have been added to the General Assistance rolls in December, while the ADC-Unemployed figure rose 1,400 cases. The total ADC caseload count rose by 2,378 in December, for a total of 233,090 cases. Whether it snows or not, the Binder Park Zoo will be the sight for a major sled dog race this weekend, January 29 and 30. Several hundred huskies, malamutes, samoyeds, and Indian dogs will take part in the races. The dogs and their gear will be available for a close look during both days. The zoo and the Mid Union Sled Haulers (M.U.S.H.) will sponsor the event which will take place from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. each day. All races will begin and end at the zoo.

This month, the COA has been fortunate to engage Herb Roberts of Nashville to entertain at all four Nutrition Sites. The first of the month, Mr. Ron Boyer from Hastings Ambulance Service ex­ plained rates and how the total cost of the service is figured. Also, Mrs. Pierson of Consumers Power Company spoke at all four sites with information for the seniors on what to do about their large winter bills. This was especially important to local senior citizens because of the excessively high cost of energy these days. In addition, local scout troops will be coming each month with decorations for the meal site in Hastings. On March 2, Mr. Steve Lokken of the Post Office will give a talk on mail fraud and what to do about it. Also, Pennock Hospital will be sending representatives to speak on the new Life-Line service the hospital is going to install; and a represen­ tative from Michigan Bell Telephone Co. may give a talk on ways to reduce the cost of telephone service. The COA welcomes representatives of local merchants and services that have any information that would be of interest to area senior citizens. If you have, or if you know of someone who has an in­ teresting hobby (egg decorating, shingle painting, flower arranging, etc.) or talent (singing or playing an instrument) or if you have slides of a trip you have taken and you wouldn’t mind donating a small amount of your time, contact the Commission on Aging, 948­ 8061 or 948-8062.

Since filing their tax forms last year, some taxpayers may have had a change in their tax status and need different form than that received in the mail. Federal tax forms and schedules are available at most post of­ fices, many banks and some public libraries. The most convenient way to obtain additional forms is by using the handy order blank in the tax forms package, the IRS said. The tax forms package recieved in the mail has a preaddressed, peel-off label and large, preaddressed envelope which is useful to the taxpayer and to the IRS. By using the label and en­ velope, the taxpayer can help to speed up the processing of the tax return, decrease the chance of errors and often receive a refund faster. If the fnailing label has incorrect information, such as a wrong address or social security number, the correction should be made directly on the label, ac­ cording to the IRS. Each tax forms package contains complete instructions on the preparation of the form in the package. If additional information is needed on credits, deduc- tions, exemptions or income, the IRS offers more than 90 free publications on these and many more subjects. These publications are available by using the order form in the tax forms package.

Locally, Linda Tilley has volunteered to coordinate the “Strike Out Cancer­ Spare A Child Campaign”, which is being held in con­ junction with the Professional Bowlers Association of America. The program is dedicated to Terry who has been a patient for the past four years at St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital. Terry of Mount Carmel, Illinois, is a normal eight-year-old girl who in March of 1978 developed acute lym­ phocytic leukemia, the most common form of childhood cancer. The St. Jude’s hospital said though that Terry has been in remission and off all medication since November of 1980. St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital was founded by entertainer Danny Thomas. The in­ stitution opened its doors to the public in 1962 to combat catastrophic deseases in children. St. Jude is non­ sectarian, n on discriminatory, and provides total medical care to all patients. At St. Jude, scientists and physicians work side by side seeking not only better means of treatment, but also the cause, cure, and prevention of these terrible killers. All information gained at St. Jude is shared freely with other hospitals and institutions the world over. Sponsor forms are now available at Hastings Bowl Inc..

It’s even tougher for him to be a mainstay of the team. So far, however, Maple Valley’s Jeff Hamilton has Valley Bowmen OPEN SHOOTING Winter Schedule — DAYS — Mon. thru Sat. 8:30 am to 5:30 pm Sundays 2 pm to 6 pm — EVENINGS — Mon. and Wed. 6:30 pm to 9:30 pm If interested call JERRY 852-0713 accomplished both feats this season. The 5-8 Hamilton has been the Lions floor leader and second-leading scorer this year in only his sophomore season. And it surprises even him. “I’d say I was happy with the season so far, but I wasn’t expecting to do this much,” says Hamilton, a sophomore of few words. “I just' enjoy playing.” Hamilton had been the leading scorer on the Lion team going into Tuesday’s game with Caledonia. But teammate Mickey Mahon, who’s been on a scoring tear lately, overtook Hamilton in that contest. Hamilton currently has scored 151 points in nine games for a 16.8 average. He leads the team in assists with 51. Despite those figures, Hamilton says his only in­ dividual goal this year is at the free throw line. He says he wants to hit 80 per cent of his free throws. Right now Let he’s made 29 of 37 or about 78 per cent of his free throws. Hamilton Was asked why he’s so concerned with free throws. He answers like a coach. “Lastyear (on jayvee) our team didn’t shoot that well, and it’s the same this year. Free throws are important,” notes Hamilton. Hamilton’s best games this season have come against the two toughest teams on the schedule. All Hamilton did against a highly-regarded Middleville team in Maple Valley’s opener was score 18 points, dish out four assists, make four steals and grab six rebounds. Against once-beaten and Southern Michigan Athletic Association leader Bronson, Hamilton tossed in 30 points — a season high. 4-PLY WHITEWALLS Our Reg. 41.97 SIZES SALE f.E.T.

They have now won 4 of their last five games. Tuesday night they played Caledonia at home. They had a sluggish first half and they trailed by a 21-20 score. They had a super 3rd quarter outscoring Caledonia 21 to 6. However, Caledonia came back in the fourth quarter and. the Lions held on to win the game 49 to 47. Rebounding leaders against Caledonia were Ryan Trowbridge with 10, Gary Reid 6 and Greg Lenz 4. Scoring against Caledonia were, Gary Reid 14 pts., Ryan Trowbridge 13 pts., Kurt Hartenburg 8 pts., Jim Symonds 6 pts., Greg Lenz 6 pts., and Jim Colby 2 pts.

Jeff Hamilton Valley JV's chalk up doublevictories Take Care Of You Front-end Alignment Available Maple Valley coach Jerry Reese says Hamilton, among other things, possesses excellent shooting range for such a young player. “Actually he does a lot of things well,” says Reese. “He has great court awareness which creates a lot of things for the other players. “But the thing I like the most about him is his un­ selfishness. He gives the ball up to the open people.” Reese says a player like Hamilton, who gets up and down the court quickly, fits in well with Maple-Valley’s style of play. Says Reese, “Not only does he fit in well, but Jeff comes to play every night, both ends of the court. I like that.” And what’s better is that Hamilton will be doing it for two more seasons. 11,99 • Oil change (up to 5 qts.

On Friday they play Pennfield at home with the game starting at 6:30 p.m. Lion eagers losing steak ends The Lion varsity basketball team finally broke into the winning column again by defeating league foe St. Philip 70-47 on Friday. But Valley had to suffer an 82-66 loss to visiting Caledonia on Tuesday. The Lions got balanced scoring from all five starters on Tuesday and good defense kept them close to the tall Scot team, 18-17, at the end of the first quarter. It was a poor second period Jterformance by Valley which led to their downfall. Scot Chad Cressey, scored 14 of his teams’ 21 points to lead his team passed the Lions. The hometeam could manage to counter with only 10 points. The 39-27 halftime advantage was too much for the Lion team to overcome. The Scots only outscored their opponents by 4 points in the second half. Mickey Mahon poured in 27 points for Valley. His 3 fouls in the first half kept him out of action for much of the second period. Jeff Hamilton added 12 and Scott Everett 10 points. Valley gathered in only 19 rebounds for the game. Caledonia grabbed 31. The Lions visit to the St. Philip gym on Friday was the first road victory for Valley. The visitors took little time establishing their dominance. They took an 18­ 10 first period lead and were never threatened. Free throws continued to be a problem for the small Lion squad. They hit 14 of 28 from the charity stripe. The victory gave the Lions their second league win against 4 losses. Four Lions scored in double figures led by Jeff Hamilton with 21, Tony Dunkelberger 15, and Jeff Starring and Mickey Mahon each netted 10 points. Valley’s next stop is at Portland on Tuesday, J.V. game time is 6 p.m. Friday, the Lions host Pennfield, J.V. game time is 6:30 p.m. �The Maple Valley News. Nashville. Tuesday. January 25, 1983 — Page 15 Consumers council publishes free “Property Meeting to focus on sheep management Tax Assessment Appeal” brochure Property owners will soon be receiving their property tax assessment notices. Many may feel that their assessments are unfairly high, unfortunately, they may also feel that it’s hopeless to “fight city hall” for a reduction. For this reason, the Michigan Consumers Council has published a brochure to assist con­ sumers in determininBg whether to protest their assessment and how to proceed through an appeal process. “Most assessment changes simply reflect in­ flation in the housing market,” said Consumers Council Director Kent Wilcox. “However, ’errors are frequently made. These can range from incorrectly computing the tax to an actual error in judging the property’s value. “The first thing consumers need to do is check the appraisal records in the assessor’s office for ac­ curacy,” Wilcox continued. “It’s possible the appraisal may have been based on assumptions such as stating the house has a finished basement or fireplace when it doesn’t. The appraisal may have also missed defects that might tend to reduce the house’s value, such as settling or shifting on the foundation.” The consumers council EWING WELL DRILLING Your dependable drillers in Eaton & Barry Counties OFFERING COMPLETE ...

The success of the ten minute break period will be reviewed by the board negotiation representatives, building administrators, and teacher representatives on February 9 and March 2. The cooperation of all students at the Jr-Sr. High School will be appreciated in helping make this revised schedule suc­ cessful. The starting time for school will remain at 8:20 a.m. and dismissal at 2:30 p.m., and each instructional period will be one minute less. The amount of teacher instructional time is now fourteen minutes greater than in prior school years. Computer grant awarded to Maple Valley School district The Maple Valley School District has received a $12,800 federal grant for computers. Details about the use of the grant are expected to be discussed at the board of education’s March meeting when definite decisions are expected to be made. Verification of the ap­ proved grant, in December, was a “shot in the arm” to the newly formed Maple Valley computer committee, according to Dave Hawkins, board of education trustee who serves on the computer committee. The computer committee, an extension of the school board’s professional studies committee, came into being after much interest was expressed simultaneously by both PTO’s and concerned parents, he said. In addition to Hawkins, members of the computer committee are PTO officers, Maplewood Principal Bill Christensen, School Board Trustee Dale Ossenheimer, and staff members from the four buildings. “From the onset, it was felt that this committee’s duty was to explore in detail every possible way of using the computers to best suit our children’s needs,” Hawkins said. With the upcoming March school board meeting as a self-imposed target date, the committee has been meeting to work out details and several proposals to present to the board. Options describing the brand of computers, number of machines, and scheduling of classes are expected to be discussed and voted upon by the board of education at its March meeting, he said. “Computers are still a fairly new field for most Michigan schools. However, progress is being made at Maple Valley in a steady and common sense effort to best prepare our children for the future,” said Hawkins. He said questions or ideas concerning the computers are welcome. The board’s next meeting is Feb. 14. This is possible considering that teachers are teaching six periods this school year compared with five periods in prior years although the instructional periods are shorter. The board rejected an offer in the amount of $35,000 on the building trades house submitted through Stanton Realty. After a general discussion regarding the amount which should be asked for the house now that the wall repair work has been completed, it was generally agreed to make a counter offer. Dave Hawkins was not in agreement with the amount of the counter offer. The board voted to hire Pat Carmoney at an hourly rate of 3.50 per hour as secretary at Kellogg Elementary School during the period of time that secretary Sue Becraft is off work because of surgery. It is expected that Sue will be gone approximately six weeks. A general discussion was held regarding depository of school funds beginning in July considering that it will be necessary to order new checks. No action was taken at this time. Vocational agriculture teacher Robert Schwalm and members of the F.F.A. passed out calendars to board members in ap­ preciation for general support of the vo-ag. program and F.F.A. The board voted to pay the custodians working the second shift on Thursday night instead of on Friday considering that they could not get to the bank on Friday when they were being paid Friday afternoon. Superintendent Carroll Wolff reported on the general financial outlook for the school district. He stated that considering the $64,364. in state aid held back by the state from the August state aid payment plus the fact that the February 1 state aid payment in the amount of $256,172. is not being received, the school district is facing serious financial problems. An additional $29,000 is needed to meet the February 4 payroll, plus approximately $100,000. for the February 18 payroll. Also, it will be necessary to pay board bills on February 14 estimated at $40,000. It is expected that some tax dollars will be received during this period of time. The amount of the February state aid payment which might be received and the time of payment are very uncertain at this time con­ sidering the state financial situation. State aid dollars are needed to pay back the $310,000. which was borrowed from Michigan National Bank in the fall to meet school expenses. Wolff also stated that in the school year 1970-71 the state share of the financial support of the local school district was 78.5 percent. This school year, the state share is 48.0 percent. This is the first year that the financial support per student at the state level is less than the local support. tings Jaycettes — Patty Clough, Shire Johncock, and Becky Thayer — popped in at the Pediatric Unit at Pennock Hospital where they talked with Patrick Vaughn (left), assistant executive director and personnel director at the hospital; and little Julie Heacock„ a patient, and Vivian Bever, R.N. (Reminder photo) ‘Castles’ bring awards to Vermontville creators Sixth graders at Maplewood Elementary School in Vermontville have recently been learning about the Middle Ages, and in conjunction with that created replicas of medieval castles. The students comprise three Social Studies classes taught by Mrs. Sue Luyendyk, who selected a ''top" castle from each. Creators of the "award-winners" were, from left, Heida Luna and Margy Schippel (who made castle on left); Mark Goodrich and Kenny Bayha (center castle); and Matt Forell (castle at right). (Maple Valley News photo by Susan Hinckley) The Cupid Capers are ready to croon a tune to make Valentine's Day y extra special for someone you know. The Cupid Capers are actually members of the Hastings Jaycee Auxiliary who will deliver a singing message anywhere in Barry County on Monday, Feb. 14 to help raise funds to buy new bedside tables for the Pediatric unit at Pennock Hospital in Hastings. Dressed in cute red and white costumes and sporting paihted Valentine heart faces, the Cupid Capers will be available to deliver singing Valentines from 9 a.m. to 9 p.m. on the big day. Six members of the organization will comprise the singing group. To reserve a time slot for a singing message, reser­ vations should be made by Friday, Feb. 11 by calling 945-2721 or 852-9021. There is a $10 fee for each visit in the Hastings area which will include two songs. There will be an additional charge for visits to other towns. This is the third year the Jaycettes have used their musical talents to raise funds on Valentine’s Day. Their first efforts benefited the hospital and last year the proceeds went to the Barry County Sheriff Department’s water rescue van fund. �The Maple Volley News, Nashville. Tuesday, February 1, 1983 — Page 2 Nashville News Mrs. Bunny Shaw of Nash­ ville has been doing some “sleuthing” for us since photos and a report on Nash­ ville’s Class of 1917 appeared in a couple recent Memories of the Past stories. In listing the class members still living, we had said (based on information from our sources) that Martha Walker was thought still to be living on Mackinac Island. After considerable calling, Mrs. Shaw was finally able to locate a niece of Martha’s who verified this. Martha is now Mrs. Morrie Telessen and winters in Florida. Mrs. Shaw said that years ago Martha worked at one of the large hotels on the island. Another source told us' earlier that Martha had married a ship captain PROFESSIONAL BUSINESS DIRECTORY DAN’S WATER SOFTENER Sale* & Service Dependable service on all makes and models.

At present we believe that at least nine of the 24 members of NHS Class of 1917 are still living. g. Sunshine ana temperatures in the high 30s Friday and low 40s on Saturday made the season seem more like tree-tapping time than mid-winter. The sun and warmth also made short work of the few remaining residues of ice here and there on walks and drives. While rainy and overcast, Sunday still brought mid-30s reading on thermometers in the Maple Valley area. Mrs. George (Pat) Vogt of Nashville was taken to Pennock Hospital by Nash­ ville ambulance Sunday morning after falling on stairs at her home and breaking three ribs and a finger. She has been hospitalized. Other Nashville folks confined at Pennock at the time of the report include Art Bateman and Mrs. Fern Staup. Sweetheart banquets are the order of the day as the season of hearts and Cupid nears. Saturday, Feb. 12 is the date for three special pre-Valentine’s Day events scheduled by local churches. At the United Methodist, the first annual Community Sweetheart Banquet is set for 6:30 p.m. The dinner is being sponsored by the UMC Youth Group under direction of Mrs. Penny Jones. A formal affair, it will feature dining by candlelight and The modern funeral service has evolved in response to pub­ lic wishes from the more primi­ tive service of our forefathers. The funeral director receives thorough training in the techni­ cal skills of his profession and the development of his innate tact, courtesy, patience and understanding.

Tickets are $4 per person and are available from any Youth Group member or at Mace Phar­ macy. A potluck dinner at 6:30 p.m. Saturday, Feb. 12, in the Fellowship Hall at the local Church of the Nazarene is being sponsored by the adult Sunday School to mark the Sweetheart season. And, again this year, Nashville Baptist Church will stage their annual Sweetheart Banquet at the Sveden House in Lansing. Dinner for the 8 p.m. affair will be $12 per couple. Music by the Gospel String Band will be featured in addition to the zany skits and awards which have made the banquet such a popular event in the past. Also in conjunction with the upcoming Valentine’s Day, Nashville Baptist Church has designated February 13 as Sweetheart Sunday. A “Valentine Video Blast” is an event being planned by the Senior High Department of Nashville Baptist Church. The youths will have an evening outing Wednesday, Feb. 9, at Star World in Lansing, a video-pizza parfor. Cost will be $5.50 per person. The Singles Class of Nash­ ville Baptist plan a Valen­ tine’s Day dinner Monday evening, Feb. 14, at Russ’ Restaurant in Battle Creek. Residents of the Nashville community who have lived here for more than 20 years or so remember Dr. Stewart Lofdahl, and were saddened last week to hear of his death in Arizona following a nirtemonth illness. Dr. Lofdahl had resided in Broken Arrow, Ariz. about ten years. Prior to that, he had lived in Illinois since 1960, after leaving Nashville. Dr., Lofdahl first came to the village following the death in December 1929 of his brother-in-law, Dr. Carl K. Brown (who coincidentally is the subject of this week’s Memories of the Past). Lofdahl assumed Brown’s practice and continued to serve the local community for some 30 years. When he left Nashville, his associate, Dr. Thomas Myers, took over the practice which he still has at 307 N. Main, in the -original location of Dr. A Brown. dedicated physician who was highly respected in the area, Lofdahl had an interesting hobby of collecting unusual knives and occasionally exhibited his collection for the enjoyment of others. He is survived by his wife, Margaret, a son, David, and four grandchildren. Dr. Lofdahl was preceded in death by another son, Stewart, Jr. Nashville' United Methodist Women will meet Wednesday, Feb. 2 at the Community House, with Mrs. Beth Suntken and Mrs. Myrtle Graham as hostesses. Mrs. Amy Put­ in has charge of the program for the 7:30 p.m. event. Services at the Lansing City Rescue Mission will be conducted at 7:30 p.m. Tuesday, Feb. 8, by a delegation from Nashville Baptist Church. “Have had two interesting issues of Maple Valley News in the past two weeks,” wrote Kenneth Meade, a former local resident now of Franklin, in a letter last week. “The one with the pictures of the Class of 1917 and their reunion reminded me of people I had forgotten, such as Pliny McLaughlin, Earl Gibson, and Wayne Kidder. When they were seniors, I was just starting in high school and they all seemed so big and so old to me. Harold Reynolds, as I remember, was a very good singer and often did solos at high school assemblies. Frances Huwe lived across the road from our home in the country and she often helped me with my work, which gave me a good start toward an education. Latin and ancient history were difficult for me to get a start in.” Meade wrote that he also was interested in the items gleaned from the Nashville News over the past century for use in the Memories column. The one which recently featured a photo of Dr. C. K. Brown (appearing also in this week’s column) prompted this comment from Meade: “Dr. C. K. Brown was an excellent doctor. My mother, who suffered all her life from asthma, was one of his patients. He taught her how to take shots of adrenelin when she felt an attack coming on and prescribed the medicine for her. As a consequence, she got a great deal of relief from an illnes that was very debilitating. Dr. Brown’s wife, who was a sister of Dr. Lofdahl, was a very fine person and always so friendly.” Incidentally, though there is a variation in the spelling of the family name, Kenneth Meade is a first cousin to Keith Mead, contributed who the reminiscence of Dr. Brown published in this week’s Memories of the Past. Mrs. La Duska Sheldon of Nashville returned home last week after a week’s visit in Florida^with her sister, Mrs. Doris Hazelton of Melbourne, and family. Mrs. Sheldon flew from Capitol City Airport in Lansing to Orlando. A highlight of her stay was visiting the new Epcot Center at Disney World. Mrs. Sheldon enjoyed the tour but reports that it is impossible in one day to take in all the sights, which include international exhibits and settings representing cultures and scenes of various contries around the world. The center also is designed to show how man will live in the future. Mrs. Sheldorrwas impressed with several, unusual water fountains and a huge waterfall near one of the science buildings in the complex. Also during her Florida stay, Mrs. Sheldon and her relatives enjoyed dining at various special restaurants including one where they were served typical Greek cuisine. The most recent contribution to Putnam Public Library’s Building Fund came from Nathan and La Duska Sheldon in memory of her father, George. W. Higdon. Unless anonymity is requested, names of donors to the fund will be listed weekly in the Maple Valley News. Contributions may be made at the library or to Mrs. Nita Brown, library board treasurer, P.O. Box K, Nashville, MI 49073. Receipts will be issued for all direct donations. Names of all donors and of those designated in memorials will be listed on special scrolls to be displayed in the proposed new $50,000 Children’s Wing addition. Continued public support is needed to reach the goal. Mrs. Petie Latta of Nashville returned home Tuesday evening after a five-week stay in California, where she spent the Christmas and New Year’s holiday season with her children: Gordon and Susan (Latta) Gutchess, Jennifer and Ashley, of Calabasas; and John Latta of Chico. The latter came for a stay at the Gutchess home to visit his mother, and while there all enjoyed a climb up the Santa Monica Mountains. Another special event was a picnic at Mugu Beach at Malibu, an area which since Mrs. Latta’s return has been hard-hit by destructive coastal Other storms. highlights of Petie’s stay included tours of the Los Angeles Museum of Science and Industry, and the Universal Studios.

Nashville. Tuesday. February 1, 1983 — Page 4 Local man remembers Dr. Brown In our most recent This Week in Nashville History column, published as a Memories of the Past on January 18, 1983, there appeared a photo of Dr. C.K. Brown. The picture was used in conjunction with a 1926 news item which told of Brown’s return to Nashville in mid- January to re­ establish his practice here after a six- months stay in Lansing. Brown, who grew up in Oklahoma .and acquired his education there and in Illinois, first came to Nashville in 1916 and except for the brief Lansing stay, practiced here continuously until his sudden death in December 1929 at age 47. The photo of Dr. Brown prompted a recollection by Keith Mead of Hastings, whose writings about his late friend Irving Charlton are currently being published as a weekly series in the Hastings Banner. Mr. Mead kindly offered to write the following reminiscence about Dr. Brown for publication in our column. We sincerely appreciate this contribution and hope our readers will enjoy sharing Mead’s memories of Nash­ ville’s popular young physician. At the conclusion we have added the News account of Dr. Brown’s passing. My Memories of Dr. Carl K. Brown by Keith C. Mead believe called toxin- an­ titoxin. I was plagued with ton­ sillitis every winter, and in 1928 Dr. Brown and Dr. E.T. Morris came to Uncle Charley’s and put a sheet on the kitchen table and I got up on it and laid down. Dr. Morris gave me ether and Dr. Brown removed my tonsils and adenoids. When I awoke I was in the kitchen bedroom. Some different than today. During those years when Dr. Brown would come to treat me or others of the family, I was fascinated by all the colorful pills he kept in his large carrying case. I remember he had black, wavy, rather curly hair, and was always “sharp” looking. My wife Fern Oaks Mead was going to Castleton Center School then and while playing got her finger badly smashed and out of joint between a plank and a stone used as a “teeter board.” June Brumm Irland (later Nesbit) was the teacher then and Dr. Brown finally got word of (the accident) and came out and treated Fern. It healed okay, however he had some doubts as to full recovery of normal use of it at that time. Those are just a few memories of that fine man, doctor and friend. Everyone was very, very saddened by his early death. Dr. Stewart Lofdahl then came and served us all faith­ fully and well for many years. As I saw the photo of Dr. Brown standing on the steps of his office, I recalled the days he was our family doctor. I remember him as being a very handsome, neat, quick- moving man, who whistled as he worked. . He was a very kind and pleasant man. Dr. Brown attended my birth on July 27, 1919, in the house on the east side of the road of the curve at Stony Point corners. My father is Edwin Mead and my mother was Charlotte Main Mead. Dr. Brown also attended my mother and my baby brother Vernard Earl in January 1921. However, in spite of all Dr. Brown’s ef­ forts and four or five trips he made to our home that day, my mother died of peritonitis on the 16th of January 1921.

In 1916 he came to Nashville and, with the exception of 6 months spent in Lansing, had been continously practicing his profession here since. “August 1,1916, the doctor was united in marriage to Miss Bessie Lofdahl, of Chicago, and to this union were born two children, Carl, age 12 and Jean, age 9, (all of Whom survived)...” “Fraternally Dr. Brown was a member of Nashville Lodge No. 255, F&AM and other Masonic bodies and Ivy Lodge, No. 27, K. of P., in each of which he was a highly valued and beloved brother.

If you know that a cigarette has dropped deep inside a particular piece of furniture and can’t locate it, take the furniture outside and leave it out over night. Better to risk having your convertible sofa stolen than to risk it converting your home into an ember. Check for dropped butts after entertaining. After the party’s over, check under seat cushions and around the floor for cigarettes that may have been accidentally dropped. Don’t empty ashtrays into wastebaskets.. They could spark a fire hours later even (if rarely) when left overnight. Pour out your ashtrays into the toilet and flush your troubles away. Special care1 must be exercised when smoking while using alcohol or drugs. It’s easy to become drowsy or inattentive, and lose track of that cigarette. Speaking of drowsiness, does anyone out there still smoke in bed? Statistics show that many still do... and that altogether too many smokers in bed become statistics themselves. Let’s face it - beds are where most of us sleep, so by force of habit alone you’re more inclined to “drop off” in bed than anywhere else. “But I don’t fall asleep until I’m good and ready,” some in­ sist. You’d better be awfully sure the Sandman worft ever get you before you’ve finished that cigarette you’re betting your life. Don’t smoke in bed! So, if you * must smoke, smoke carefully.

The Lions were able to put together a 21 point second quarter but were unable to stop Raider Mike Hager who poured in 12 of his game high 30 points in that period. The Raiders held a 44-32 half time lead. Valley came closest to Portland late in the fourth quarter when they whittled die Raider lead to 7. But the Portland offense responded to pull ahead and end the contest victorious 91-81. Valley’s troubles were compounded when Lion starters fouled out. Mickey Mahon led Lion scorers with 20 points; Tony Dunkelberger added 18,11 of those coming in the fourth quarter; Randy Joostberns 15 and Jeff Hamilton 14. Valley travels to Mid­ dleville on Tuesday to play the Taller Trojans. Game time is 6:15.Friday’s game is at Bellevue. The slow start on Tuesday was repeated on Friday against a fine Pennfield squad. Valley shot 26 percent from the floor giving the Panthers a 43-21 halftime advantage. Though the Lions shar­ pened their play in the second half, they were unable to overcome the bad start and lost 85-61. The game was punctuated by many fouls. The Lions hit 22 of 34 and the visitors 19 of 34 from the charity stripe. Tony Dunkelberger hit the game high 21 points for Valley. Jeff Hamilton and Mickey Mahon added 12 and 11 points respectively. J.V.'s basketball team loses two The JVs had a rough week, playing two good JV basketball teams. On Tuesday, the JVs traveled to Portland as Portland’s JVs ran their record to 11 and 1; and on Friday, Pennfield’s JVs kept their record in tact with only one league loss. Maple Valley was defeated by Portland 71-64 and by Pennfield 72-60. Tuesday night, the JVs were out-rebounded for only the second time this season, by a 34 to 31 margin. The leading rebounders for Maple Valley were Jim Colby with 11 and Ryan Trowbridge with eight. The JVs started slow and trailed by a 31 to 24 margin at half-time. They played well in the fourth quarter, scoring 28 points. Scoring for Maple Valley were Gary Reid, 19 pts.; Jim Symonds, 16 pts.; Kurtt Hartenburg, 14 pts.; Greg Lenz, 6 pts.; Jim Colby, 6 pts.; and Ryan Trowbridge, 3 pts. On Friday, the JVs trailed at the half 38 to 34. After a poor third quarter, they closed the gap to six points with a minute and a half to go, but could not get any closer. Maple Valley out­ rebounded Pennfield 44 to 36 and committed fewer tur­ novers but could not win the game. Pennfield made 28 of 56 field goal attempts and 16 of 26 free throws. Maple Valley made 27 of 78 field goal attempts and only 6 of 15 free throws. They also missed four one-and-one opportunities in the fourth quarter. They seem to be hustling and improving in their play. Scoring for Maple Valley were Gary Reid, 22 pts.; Ryan Trowbridge, 9 pts.; Jim Symonds, 7 pts.; Kurt Hartenburg, 8 pts.; Greg Lenz, 6 pts.; Jim Colby, 4 pts.; Alan Mater, 2 pts.; and Jim Benit, 2 pts. Getting rebounds against Pennfield were Gary Reid, 9; Ryan Trowbridge; 8; Kurt Hartenburg, 8; Greg Lenz, 6; Alan Mater, 4; Jim Colby, 4; Jim Benit, 3; Shan Ferrier, 1; and Terry Hall, 1. Gary Reid has played well over the last few weeks and Mark Valdick has shown a great deal of hustle in games and in practice. The JVs travel to Mid­ dleville on Tuesday and Bellevue on Friday. The JVs’ league record is now four wins and three losses. Overall their record is five wins and seven losses. Jeff Hamilton (12) drives for a layup in Maple Valley's 85-61 loss to rival Pennfield.

Vermontville Chamber plans sweetheart dinner Van provides rides for senior citizens Mobility. Most of us take it for granted but for many senior citizens getting to doctor’s appointments or getting groceries can be a real problem. In Eaton County mobility is made easier by a program operated by th^ Eaton County Senior Citizen Office. The Senior Citizen Van is busy Monday through Friday, taking seniors from their homes to doctors ap­ pointments, senior nutrition sites, senior citizens meetings and shopping expeditions. Any Eaton County resident 60 years or older can ride the van. Only 50c one way donation is requested or a 25c one way donation if the distance is under 2 miles. The van makes weekly runs in Charlotte and Eaton Rapids and comes to Sun­ field, Vermontville, Pot­ terville, Olivet and Bellevue once a month. It holds ten passengers who go shopping locally or into Lansing or sometimes Battle Creek. Volunteer drivers are also available to take seniors to doctor’s appointments when the Senior Citizen Van is not available. Transportation is just one of the many services provided by the Eaton County Senior Citizen Office. Last year 7,000 rides were provided for 277 people. Would you like to forget winter and visit a museum in Lansing or the Planetarium at MSU? Do you have other suggestions about where you would like to go on the Senior Citizen Van? If you are 60 or over and have transportation needs, call the Eaton County Senior Citizen Office at 543­ 6075. We may be able to help. Action-^ds LOST: Tailgate with license plate, M-79 in Nashville.

If passed, Michigan would have a tax rate of 6.35 percent, the highest flat-rate income tax in the nation. The Governor’s own Michigan Financial Crisis Council suggested a tax increase of only 20-22 percent to solve Michigan’s money problems, and consequently, many legislators are skeptical that such a high increase in taxes should be adopted.

AND THAT’S NOT ALL... - In addition to an income tax. hike, Michigan’s new governor wants $225 million in budget cuts, as well as the abolition of 30 state programs and agencies. MICHIGAN HIGHWAY DOLLARS MORE THAN DOUBLED - The Michigan Department of Transportation reports that the dollar volume of contracts awarded for improvements on Michigan’s highways will more than double this year, from $146 million last year to an estimated $315 million this year. Nearly all that money will be used for highway improvements and reconstruction, rather than on new construction. On April 1, when the federal gasoline tax increase takes effect, car owners will be paying an ad­ ditional five cents per gallon. The federal gasoline tax in­ crease is the first since 1959. The Michigan gasoline tax was also increased by two cents, the first increase since 1979. By increasing the state gasoline tax, Michigan will, be able to receive matching funds from Washington for transportation use. CAMPAIGN EXPENSES - The office of the Secretary of State announced that $22.1 million was spent by candidates for Governor, Secretary of State, Attorney General, the State Senate, the State House and the Judiciary. Over $8.4 million was spent by ballot proposal committees. SUBSTANCE ABUSE CASES INCREASE - The Office of Substance Abuse Services in Lansing reports a dramatic increase in substance abuse clients who are unemployed “but still in the work force”. Over 10,000 people, categorized as either laid off, looking for work, or registered with the Michigan Employment Security Commission have been admitted to the publically funded substance abuse programs. A waiting list of 824 additional clients has. been created because the OSAS cannot handle all the clients at once. SURROGATE PARENTING BILL INTRODUCED Michigan’s legal community has called upon the State Legislature to enact laws regarding surrogate parenting. The necessity of the legislation, became more apparant in Lansing recently when a surrogate mother gave birth to a microcephalitic baby that was rejected by the natural father, who now refuses to pay the surrogate mother for her services. I983 prospective planting report for Michigan farmers coming The Prospective Plantings Report for U.S. and Michigan farmers’ in­ tentions to plant as of February 1 will be issued by USDA’s Crop Reporting Board on February 17. The report published locally by the Federal- StateMichigan Agricultural Reporting Service will include data for the following Michigan crops: corn, oats, barley, dry edible beans, soybeans ,, sugarbeets and hay. The February 1 survey date was established in 1982 as a result of comments and recommendations from data users across the country. The primary purpose of the Prospective Plantings Report is to provide farmers with early indications of their collective planting intentions. The current report will Action-Ads FOR SALE: Black baby gerbils. Call 726-0599, Vermontville, anytime. (2-8) FOR SALE: Burning barrels, $5. 852-9481, Nash­ ville. (3-8) allow farmers to make adjustments based on an evaluation of market con­ ditions, input prices and weather conditions in light of what the report shows. This early release date also permits them to use these data in assessing their participation in government programs before the final sign-up period ends. The deadline for par­ ticipation in the Payment in Kind (PIK) prdgram is March 11. Thus, the acreage actually planted may vary from these early intentions because of the effect of this report itself on farmers’ actions, plus other factors such as weather, availability of production inputs, crop prices and government programs. The FederalStateMichigan Agricultural Reporting Service will also conduct surveys of farmers as of June 1, asking for the acreage actually planted to the various crops. The results of these surveys will be released on June 29. EWING WELL DRILLING Your dependable drillers in Eaton & Barry Counties WATER WELL DRILLING and PUMP SERVICE OFFERING COMPLETE ...

Box A, Nashville, Michigan Phone 945-9554 (Hastings) The Maple Valley News, Nashville, Vol. Ill - No. 33 - Tuesday, February 8, 1983 A look at Nashville Village Council candidates Sidney A. Green by Susan Hinckley Voters in Nashville’s February 21 primary election will confront a ballot listing nine candidates for three seats opening April 1 on the village council. Entered in the race for three 2-year trustee terms are one Democrat and eight Republicans — though one of the latter recently an­ nounced his withdrawal Richard Chaffee, Jr. from the contest. Richard H. Engle, citing recent health problems, said he felt he could not accept the post if elected. But the election ballots had already been printed by the time he made his announcement, explained Village Clerk Susan Corkwell. That leaves eight can­ didates actively seeking the three seats. The Republican hopefuls are incumbents Forrest Babcock and Robert Fueri, Jr.; former village trustee Gerald A. Kent; and newcomers Douglas R. Aspinall; Daniel J. Cook; Richard Chaffee, Jr.; and Sidney A. Green. The lone Democratic candidate on the primary ballot is Lonny L. Kienutske, a past village trustee who served on the council by Douglas R. Aspinall appointment. In the February 21 elec­ tion, Nashville voters will be asked to narrow the field of Republican candidates to three, whose names will appear on the GOP slate on the March 14 general elec­ tion ballot. Since Kienutske is the sole Democrat running in the primary, he will be assured of a spot on the general Fuller Street News prepares for first edition By Elaine Gilbert This week’s Maple Valley News includes a brand new feature with material gathered and written by pint­ sized reporters. The new page is called “Fuller Street News” and it appropriately reflects stories about projects and activities at Fuller Street Elementary School in Nash­ ville. The ambitious project is the idea of fourth grade teacher Dave Doozan who is serving as editor-in-chief and jack-of-all-trades in the school’s newspaper publishing venture. Doozan’s 21 students do all Fourth Grade Teacher Dave Doozan works with some of the Fuller Street News Staff __ (from left) Chad Barrus, Janel Hansen, Heather Hoyle, and Tonya Schaffer in preparation for the publication of their school paper. (Maple Valley News photo by Susan Hinckley) the news gathering and writing for the project ex­ cept for today’s editorial, written by the teacher. The students even help to justify the newspaper columns on their special page which will appear every other week in the Maple Valley News. Doozan said the students have been writing the paper for a number of months and distributing it in the school. But, with this week’s debut in the Maple Valley News, the paper’s circulation will receive a giant boost. The idea for writing the paper evolved from a story Doozan had read in a reading book about students doing their own TV show. “I knew we couldn’t do that (a TV show), but I thought we could do a newspaper,” he said. All the students in Doozan’s class are assigned to cover a special beat for the project so a student has responsibility, for example, in covering news from a certain room and working with a particular teacher. The student reporters make a special effort to include as many students’ names as possible in the articles. The newspaper project has proved ’to be a fun, educational tool. In the process of working on the paper, Doozan said students learn how to use proper grammar, sentence struc­ ture, and paragraphs. They also learn the importance of meeting deadlines, he said.

Jack was em­ ployed then in the service department of Motor Wheel’s Duo-Therm Division in Lansing, and it was in that city where the head of the veterans’ award committee finally tracked down their hero at the newlyweds’ apartment. On February 19, Jack Green was decorated by former Governor Wilber M. Brucker in formal ceremonies at a Detroit hotel, as his beaming bride looked on. The Outstanding Hero award was in recognition of Green’s daring rescue of Donald Crum of Lansing from the icy waters of a gravel pit and his attempt to save Crum’s companion in the early morning hours of New Year’s Day 1937. After a rear-end collision with a tractor-trailer rig between When Jack and Virginia (Hess) Green of Nashville mark their 45th wedding anniversary on Valentine’s Day, it will revive more than the traditional memories of hearts and flowers. Having grown up as childhood sweethearts in Nashville, the couple eloped in 1938 — little realizing that it would set off a statewide search for the 21year-old bridegroom. Seeking him were Michigan veterans of the Rainbow Division who wanted to decorate Jack as the state’s Outstanding Hero of 1937. Chamber Meeting THURSDAY MORNING 8:00 A.M.

Green and his passenger Carl Brown of Nashville were in the first car to arrive at the scene and were flagged down by two truckers who asked if they could swim. Green responded in the af­ firmative, tore off his outer clothing and dived into the frigid waters. Finding Crum on top of the submerged auto, he brought him to the surface then returned to open the car door to search for Crum’s companion, Miss Dione Corbin. Overcome by cold and lack of air, Green again surfaced and was restrained by Brown and the truck drivers who feared the third dive he wanted to make would cost him his life. Numb and exhausted, Green, a former summer life guard, was rushed to a hospital for treatment. More than a year later, he received the Michigan’s Outstanding Hero award. The season of Cupid is near, and Sweetheart banquets are the order of the day. Three such preValentine’s Day events are scheduled for Saturday, Feb. 12, by local churches. At the United Methodist, Nashville’s first annual Community Sweetheart Banquet is set for 6:30 p.m. Saturday. The dinner is sponsored by the UMC Youth group under direction of Mrs. Penny Jones, and will be a formal affair with dining by candlelight and music. Dave Dunbar of Lake Odessa will be dinner speaker and entertainment will be by ventriloquist and chalk artist Rod Snow of Holt. Tickets are $4 per person and are available from any UMC Youth member or at Mace Phar­ macy in Nashville. A potluck dinner at 6:30 p.m.' Saturday, in the Fellowship Hall at the local Church of the Nazarene, is being sponsored by the adult Sunday School to mark the Sweetheart season. And again this year, Nash­ ville Baptist Church will stage their annual Sweetheart Banquet at the Sveden House in Lansing. Dinner tickets for the 8 p.m. affair are $12 per couple. Music by the Gospel String Band will be featured in addition to the usual zany skits and awards which have made the banquet such a popular event in the past. Also in conjunction with the upcoming Valentine’s Day, Nashville Baptist has designated February 13 as Sweetheart Sunday. Frances Christensen of Vermontville 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 and one-quarter pounds in one week to earn the title. For Senior High youths at Nashville Baptist Church, the theme of Cupid’s season has been tied in with the current video game craze for an event they have dubbed a “Valentine Video Blast”. The youths will have an evening outing Wednesday, Feb. 9, at Star World, a Lansing video-pizza parlor. Cost will be $5.50 per person. The Singles Class of Nash­ ville Baptist will enjoy a Valentine’s Day dinner Monday evening, Feb. 14, at Russ’ Restaurant in Battle Creek. Nashville merchants are joining in the spirit of the season with a Lucky Sweetheart Days sales promotion, running from Wednesday, Feb. 9 through Valentine’s Day next Monday. Read the special ad in this issue of the Maple Valley News to see how you can be a “winner” by visiting the various business places participating in the event. Due to last Wednesday’s ice storm, a scheduled meeting of United Methodist Women was postponed until Wednesday, Feb. 9. Hostesses for the 7:30 p.m. event at the Community House are Beth Suntken and Myrtle Graham. Amy Putnam has charge of the program. Maple Valley schools were closed Wednesday because of hazardous driving con­ ditions on icy roads and highways, and they remained closed through Thursday. Despite the ice, a warming trend prevailed in the Maple Valley area, with local thermometers reaching 44 degrees by Wednesday afternoon. The most recent con­ tributions to Putnam Public Library’s building fund came in three memorial donations. Two were in memory of Zoe (Hayman) Gillett: one from Jim Car­ penter and the other from Mr. and Mrs. Harold J. Higdon. The third con­ tribution was in memory of Constance Bridge, mother of Jo Ann Swanson, from the Wednesday Quilters. Unless anonymity is requested, names of all donors to the fund will be listed weekly in the Maple Valley News. Contributions may be made at the library or to Mrs. Nita Brown, library board treasurer, P.O. Box K, Nash­ ville, MI 49073. Receipts will be issued for all direct donations. Names of all donors and those designated in memorials will be listed on special scrolls to be displayed in the proposed new $50,000 Children’s Wing addition. Continued public support is needed to reach the goal. Including govern­ ment monies allocated for the project, the fund stands at roughly one-quarter of the amount needed. A public hearing on the proposed use of approximately $18,000 in federal .revenue sharing funds for the 1983-84 fiscal year will be conducted at 7 p.m. Thursday, Feb. 10, by the Nashville Village Council in conjunction with their regular meeting at the Community Center building in Putnam Park. As a follow­ up, a public hearing on the actual use of the funds will be held, in the same location, at 7 p.m. Thursday, Feb. 24.

Working toward their badges for Science in Action, the 14 girls learned about lifting latent fingerprints in a session conducted by Nash­ ville police officer Waler Pincumbe. The project was one of a list of six requirements, selected from a field of 12 options, that the Scouts must complete in order to earn their badges. ‘‘Fingerprinting was originated in England by an individual who wanted to keep track of subjects coming and going from a (particular) jail,” Officer Pincumbe told the young audience. He explained that to Leader Marsha Ainslie watches as some of the girls work on the latent print fingerprint an individual is project as part of their requirement for earning a Science in Action badge. called obtaining a “rolled small as those of the scouts prints he had left on each impression,” and all ten subject. Pincumbe added that it is attending the session. fingers of a subject must be object. After finding the “Fingerprints stay with prints with dusting powder, done in order to classify the very difficult to get im­ pressions from fingers as you the rest of your life,” he the scouts lifted the im­ noted, and told the girls, that pressions with special tape the area of the finger used and transferred them to for printing is from the first joint to the tip. He explained the dif­ ference between taking “rolled impressions” and lifting latent prints, such as is done at the scene of a crime. Pincumbe said at a prior job where he was employed at a jail, he often took rolled impressions from two or three different subjects per day. Each required three printings; one for the state, one for the FBI, and one for the jail records. “The slightest smudge on a rolled impression will disqualify the print,” noted Pincumbe. “The state and FBI will send them back if they’re not perfect.” In teaching the girls about latent prints, Pincumbe allowed the young scouts to brush special dusting powder on jars, glasses and mirrors, in an attempt to lift With special dust, the scouts brushed jars and mirrors in hopes of finding Pincumbe's fingerprints. identification cards designed for that purpose. The girls learned that this process requires very careful work. “It takes two or three years to become a fingerprint expert,” said Pincumbe. “And that’s only part of being a criminal investigator.” Do you want 10 % of the interest on your savings withheld for taxes?

John and I and Stella went to the train to see and hear former President Roosevelt. Was not disappointed,” wrote the late Ella Taylor of Nashville in her personal diary on Saturday, Feb. 11, 1911. “I heard Roosevelt say ‘I believe in the American people’,” she added. Mrs. Taylor, the former Ella Denton of Vermontville and wife of local machinist John Taylor, was a longtime correspondent for the Nash­ ville News. In her brief diary entry on February 11, she captured the thrill of that historic moment when the former president set foot on Nashville soil. Teddy Roosevelt actually came to Nashville twice, once as governor of New York, and again as an ex­ president of the United States, but both visits are fondly recalled as “presidential” whistlestops in Nashville. Several present-day senior T. R.'s train stopped twice in Nashville on Feb. 11, 1911, the day this photo was taken. But his first appearance here was in September 1900 during a whistlestop campaign as McKinley's running mate. Because of his toothy smile at that earlier event, the Nashville News labeled him "a hard man to lose in a crowd." 157 S. Main, Vermontville 726-0330* citizens still living in Nash­ ville can recall the momentous occasion of T. R.’s February 11, 1911 ap­ pearance here, but few can remember his initial visit in September 1900 when campaigning as the running mate of President William McKinley. Advised the Nashville News in advance of that first occasion: “Governor Theodore Roosevelt, Republican nominee for Vice President, will pass through Nashville next Friday af­ ternoon on a special train going from Jackson to Grand Rapids, where he will speak in the evening. Strenuous efforts are being made to arrange for the train to stop long enough here for the Governor to make a brief speech.” T. R. would have ap­ preciated the “strenuous” effort for he frequently used that word to describe the life of physical fitness that he actively pursued. He had served as a tenacious Assistant Secretary of Navy under McKinley before resign ing that post to lead his “rough riding” cavalry regiment to national fame in the 1898 charge at San Juan. Several Nashville lads had served in that brief Spanish-American conflict in Cuba and local interest in the spunky and fearless leader ran high. Teddy had returned to his native New York and was elected Governor in 1899. His political philosophy based on an African proverb, “Speak softly and carry a big stick, and you will go far,” had added to public admiration of the warrior-hero. T. R.’s first whistlestop in Nashville came shortly after McKinley and Roosevelt had been nominated by acclaimation at the Republican National Convention in 1900. At the onset, there was some doubt here that the Roosevelt entourage would pause as it passed through Nashville, but the “strenuous” efforts of local residents proved successful. The train stopped and Teddy spoke from the back plat­ form for several minutes, until the train pulled out. ‘‘He created a very favorable impression,” noted the News in reporting Teddy’s appearance. ‘He shows those teeth very thoroughly when he smiles, which is frequent. He would be a hard man to lose in a crowd.” Victory for the McKinleyRoosevelt team was reported by the News in early November 1900: “The die is cast, and William McKinley will be president of the United States for another four years, and with him as vice president that gallant young soldierstatesman, Theodore Roosevelt.” Michigan gave McKinley a Crowded near the MCRR depot, Nashville people wait to greet Teddy Roosevelt on Feb. 11, 1911. School was dismissed for the day. At the urging of a local Civil War vet for the benefit of the children, T.R. alighted from the train on its return stop from Grand Rapids. Having completed the slain McKinley s term and one of his own, Roosevelt was no longer president, but Nashville still loved the warrior- statesman. majority of nearly 100,000 votes in that election, although in Barry County the race was close. Almost a year to the day after Teddy Roosevelt made his first stop in Nashville, McKinley was felled by an assassin’s bullet at the Pan­ American Exposition at Buffalo, New York. The tragedy occurred September 5, 1901. The president died September 14. “Since the News last went to press, one of the saddest afflictions has fallen on the American people as ever has been their lot to bear — the death of President McKinley, who expired just a week after being shot by a cowardly assassin named Czolgosz,” reported the Nashville News on Sep­ tember 20, 1901. “Vice President Roosevelt now is president at age 40.” The heartfelt News ac­ count was slightly inac­ curate: Teddy was actually just six weeks short of his 43rd birthday when he became ecame presen, president, and an McKinley had died nine days after being shot. Justice was meted out swiftly to the gunman, an avowed anarchist. In mid­ November 1901, the News advised: “Leon F. Czolgosz, assassin of President McKinley, was electrocuted last week at Auburn Prison in New York.” T. R. took command of the presidency with the same dedication he had shown in charging Kettle Hill at San Juan. His “big stick” philosophy becoming his foreign policy, he im­ plemented a build-up of U.S. naval forces while he upheld the Monroe Doctrine to prevent European intervention in the Western Hemisphere. As far as Teddy was concerned, construction of the Panama Canal in 1902-05 was the proudest feather in his political cap. T.R.’s “progressive” Republican tactics made him a big hit with the common folks. They rewarded him with a land­ slide victory against Democrat Alton B. Parker in the 1904 presidential race. “The election Tuesday was a wonderful victory for the Republicans throughout the state and nation,” advised the Nashville News. “Theodore Roosevelt, Republican candidate for president, carried every state north of the MasonDixon line and may have set new records for Republican vote-getting in a number of southern states.” Continuing his “big stick” policy, Roosevelt helped ease friction between Russia and Japan in 1905, and two years later sent his Great White Fleet of 16 U.S. bat­ tleships on a worldwide goodwill tour. T. R. became the first American to win the Nobel prize for peace. When Teddy returned to Nashville in February 1911, he was not a candidate for any office. Declaring he would never again seek the presidency, T. R. bowed out of the 1908 race won by Republican William H. Taft. An interlude of big-game hunting in Africa preceded Teddy’s national speaking tour on behalf of “progressive Republicanism. ’ ’ This time, T. R.’s train stopped twice in Nashville. First he spoke from the back of the car when his en­ tourage halted here en route to Grand Rapids. On the return trip, the train again stopped and this time, at the urging of a local veteran, Teddy alighted. “Mr. President, I am an old soldier of the Civil War , and I would like very much if you would step down to the ground so that these young people and children here could say that one President of the United States had stood on Barry County soil,” said George Brown, as he stepped forward from the audience. Roosevelt replied that he was “delighted to do so” and graciously stepped off the train and shook hands with all in the area of five or six feet — shaking Mr. Brown’s hand first. The following year, Teddy made an unsuccessful bid for the presidency as a third party Progressive “Bull Moose” candidate. Soon after his defeat, T. R.’s robust health began to fade due to complications of jungle fever contracted on a South American jaunt. However, when death came in 1919, it was unexpected. Teddy Roosevelt’s passing was mourned throughout the world and especially in Nashville, where the “gallant soldier-statesman” had earned a unique place in local hearts. L°caJ machinist John Taylor and his wife, Ella, a Nashville News correspondent, were among the audience that welcome T.R. in 1911 at the depot. Noting the event later in her diary, Ella wrote that she heard Roosevelt say, "I believe in the American people. �The Maple Valley News, Nashville, Tuesday, February 8, 1983 — Page 5 Vermontville news by Ava Kroger February events fYeb. 14 Queen’s Selection Dinner, call Norma Viele for a reservation by Feb. 9, $4; Feb.

This will be done through a specially created workbook, slide presen­ tations and a series of exhibits all developed through the program. Chris MacGregor, co­ project director from Eaton Intermediate, says the project has created a great deal of interest among teachers. MacGregor says, “They are very excited about the hands-on approach “Rural Life” provides for teaching social studies. This will certainly enhance the traditional textbook method.” To better understand rural life in the past, the children will spend a day in a recreated one-room school. Classroom activities will include lessons as presented 100 years ago, games typical of the times and a look at educational materials of the past. The project also includes a series of in-school activities incorporating some existing programs such as the Farm Bureau Women’s “Fabulous Food Friends, Food for America”, a FFA program, and “Folk Patterns”, an exploration of folklore and local history. Additional slide programs and exhibits will be created to provide support for the program. Resource people will also be available to tell children about their experiences and demonstrate their skills. This jointly sponsored project will help children gain an increased un­ derstanding for the rural way of life, dispelling many of the stereotypes of the farm and farmer. According to Ms. Thelen, “Rural Life, Past and Present” will give the children a clearer image of how they got where they are today. Ms. MacGregor said of the project, “It will establish ‘roots’ on their world. And a better understanding of where they came from and what influences are in their lives and will give them confidence in their future and in them selves.

Valley played well, both offensively and defensively, hitting 25 of 62 field goal attempts and stealing the ball 15 times. Six of those steals belonged to senior Mickey Mahon who also dropped in a game high 26 points for the Lions. The Lions came out strong and matched buckets with the Trojans in the first quarter, trailing by four at the end of that period. Middleville pulled ahead in the second quarter to hold a 44-34 half-time advantage. Valley continued to work hard in the third period and came to within seven, 57-50, by the beginning of the final quarter. Rebounding was the dif­ ference in the game.

RACETRACK BETTORS FORGET $162,450 - Michigan’s State Treasury gained an extra $162,450 last month when the courts allowed the state to claim the money that was not claimed by thoroughbred and harness race bettors in 1976. State law stipulates that the state must wait seven years before collecting any outstanding winnings, but if someone can come up with winning tickets from the 1976 race season, the state will honor them. Ifno one claims the winnings from the 1981 racetrack season, the Michigan Treasurer would gain $557,423 in 1988. SPACE HEATER WARNING - More and more people are being asphyxiated by kerosene space heaters because they are not properly ventilating their homes or are not reading the directions carefully. For safe operation, the heaters must be cleaned regularly and taken outdoors to be filled, local officials across the state are particularly concerned about their use in apartment buildings because of the buildup of pollutants in the air within the buildings. 48,000 MICHIGAN JOBLESS GET FEDERAL EX­ TENSION - More than 48,000 jobless Michigan workers will receive unemployment benefit extensions for an additional six weeks, thanks to the recently enacted federal gasoline tax bill. The Federal Supplemental Compensation program extension will primarily assist those workers who have already exhausted, or will soon exhaust their unemployment benefits. The program expires March 31, 1983. BLANCHARD UNVEILS BUDGET CUTTING PLAN Governor Blanchard has announced his proposed cuts that would help reduce Michigan’s $750 million deficit by $225 million. His cuts include the elimination of 30 state programs and agencies including the closing of 14 branch offices of the Secretary of State, the gasohol development program, the Crime Victims’ Compensation Board, the Department of Agriculture publication “Country Carousel”, the state Board of Ethics, and numerous regulatory boards, including those overseeing foresters, landscape architects, marriage counselors, nursing home administrators, and the Medical Science Unit, the Drug Diversion Unit, and the Cemetery Commisson, as well as several more boards, programs and commissions. The State Legislature must now negotiate with the Governor’s office before the cuts are made because many legislators want to see deeper cuts and more programs eliminated. �The Maple Valley News, Nashville, Tuesday, February 8, 1983 — Page 9 < Come in and enjoy Breakfast, .

Also a patient at Pennock is Mrs. Pat Vogt, who at the time of this writing remains in respiratory isolation. She was hospitalized a week ago Sunday after fracturing three ribs and a finger in a fall at her home in Nashville. Released from Pennock last week after a short stay in the intensive care unit was Irene Goodnoe, proprietor of Irene’s Beauty Shop in Nash­ ville.

Condolences are extended to the family of Christina Snow VanHorn, a former Nashville resident who died Thursday at Hayes-GreenBeach Hospital in Charlotte, where she had been a patient eight days. She had resided recently with her daughter, Mrs. Clayton (Marion Snow) Johnson of Charlotte, and in January had marked her 92nd birthday — an event which was reported in this column. Mrs. VanHorn’s husband, Sylvester, an avid hunter and fisherman who was well-known in this area, died last year at age 99. Services for Mrs. VanHorn were held Monday in Nash­ ville.

Pennock Hospital announces limited visitor rules Due to an increase in the number of persons with flu symptoms, Pennock Hospital is ‘limiting visitors to immediate members of the family”. Anyone, including im­ mediate members of the family who have flu symp­ toms, should not visit in the hospital. An excess of visitors affects the hospital staff, as well as patients, Richard Fluke, Executive Director, said. He stated there are a number of hospital personnel off on sick leave with the flu symptoms, prompting the limitation. “It is anticipated that this restriction will continue for some time,” he added.

Curtis Craft Center will give participants From our readers To the Editor: Dr. Ed Larkin, medical director of the Barry-Eaton Health Dept., was the speaker at a recent meeting of the Vermontville Lions Club. Dr. Larkin is an ar­ ticulate and interesting speaker. He has a great deal of knowledge in the field of prevention of disease and physical impairment. In talks that he has made to various service clubs in our area, he discusses immunization, nutrition, sanitation, proper exercise and the factors that make for a better level of health in our citizens. It is interesting that in the matter of exercise, a great many people have taken up the practice of regular walks. Regular and suf­ ficiently long walks are considered by some experts to be equal or superior to, the benefits ofjogging for many people. It was of further interest to me that Pat O’Dell and Hildred Peabody shared their hope of establishing a measured course within the Village of Vermontville where people could enjoy walking on the sidewalks free from the dangers of using the streets and roadways. Such a project might well be a first for a small town. It surely has merit. Beyond this, it is gratifying that public minded leaders come up with innovative ideas that enhance the quality of health and living. We sometimes forget the possibilities of such ideas until someone (or more than one) has a dream, or a plan, to accomplish something beneficial and worthwhile for many people. It all goes to show that we still have thoughtful leaders in the rural areas with new ideas and innovations. The American spirit is still much in evidence!

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. InCF, 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 the small in­ testine, causing malab­ sorption of food. Though both parents must be carriers of the gene, one of twenty persons in the U.S. .is a carrier. In Michigan lone, there are nearly one-half million such carriers. At present, there is no definite test to determine a carrier of the gene. Anyone interested in more information on CF may contact the Greater Michigan Chapter, Cystic Fibrosis Foundation, P.O.

All students in the school will have access to the machine on a timetable yet to be worked out. In addition to the machine, the PTO purchased 12 disks containing 72 programs covering subjects that in­ clude English, math, grammar, geography, history and social studies. There are plans for the PTO to buy additional software, with 30 disks as the present goal. PTO officers point out that the programs are educational in nature, and that no purely recreational games will be allowed on the machines. Educational games with learning ob­ jectives are permissible. “One special reason we thought the Apple computer would be a good choice is that they have such a wide range of programs available/’ said Diane Casteele, Maplewood PTO president. Mrs. Casteele said progams would range in learning level from remedial work to those suitable for gifted students. The microcomputer was acquired at a reduced rate through Regional Educational Media Con­ sortium. Serving on the committee to research the matter and select the machine and programs were LeRoy Sleeper, Sally Martin, Eunice Cornish, Napcy Bradley and Mrs. Casteele. Maplewood principal William Christensen served as advisor to the group. The equipment was pur- chased with monies in the PTO general fund, and to replenish that source several ladies of the community are now working n a quilt to be raffled at the upcoming Vermontville Syrup Festival. Proceeds will be donated to the PTO. Barry-Eaton Realtors to meet in Nashville The Barry-Eaton Board of Realtors will meet at 9a.m. on Thursday; Feb. 17, at the United Methodist Church of Nashville.

The former Nellie Edmonds, who has been a lifelong area resident, enjoys good health and getting out and around, and is an avid reader of newspapers. She was pleasantly surprised Friday when the Golden Agers, meeting for their regular monthly potluck dinner at United Methodist Church, presented her with a beautiful birthday cake complete with candles. Ice cream was served with the cake. Weekend sunshine and temps in the 40s brought a touch of spring to the Maple Valley area while the East Coast states suffered the ravages of winter in the form of the worst snowstorm in 40 years. Nashville got a bit of a plug in the January 31 issue of Official Michigan, an awardwinning weekly publication serving “Michigan of­ ficialdom”. In it was a copy of our swan photo taken January 13 along the Thornapple River in the 600block of Reed Street. The picture appeared in the Maple Valley News on January 18 under the heading “Enjoying a January Dip”. That heading and our caption explaining that Michigan’s “open winter” had meant open waters for the swans and other waterfowl who call the Thornapple River home, was used intact by Official Michigan, with the added heading, “Michigan Beauty”. Although freezing temperatures eventually did bring an ice covering to the Thornapple, there still are open patches of water on the river. No doubt .local oldtimers can attest to the fact that this winter would have been a worrisome one for Nash­ ville’s early ice harvesters who sawed out huge chunks of the frozen “aqua” and stored it 'in sawdust-filled sheds with a view toward summer profit when it would serve as refrigeration of perishables. A good cache of winter ice was needed to assure sufficient quantity throughout the hot summer months. The Thornapple River and various local lakes were the chief source of supply for Nashville’s early ice dealers. Petie Latta of Nashville 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 four pounds in one week to earn the title. Good news — both Mr. and Mrs. Art Bateman of Nash­ ville are now home from Pennock Hospital. Their daughter, Mrs. Gail Tinsey of Farmington Hills, was here to bring Margaret home on Friday and Art on Saturday. Sunday, Mrs. Bateman’s cousins, Walter and Alice Johnson of Battle Creek, were here to help Art celebrate a belated birthday. He gained 12 pounds while in the hospital and is continuing to make progress. The Singles Class of Nash­ ville Baptist Church have planned a roller skating party at the Spectrum in Hastings. The event is set for 7 p.m. to 9 p.m. on Saturday, Feb. 19. The Junior High Dept, of Nashville Baptist will leave after morning service Sunday, Feb. 20 for a roller skating party. They will have lunch at McDonald’s. Nashville residents are reminded to vote in the village primary election next Monday, Feb. 21. They will be asked to narrow a field of eight Republican candidates for trustee to three whose names will then appear on the March 14 general elec­ tion ballot. Of the eight GOP Ccihdidd'tefe,1' 'dn^ —? Richard H. Engle — has bowed out of the race due to ill health, but his name had already been printed on the primary ballots before he made his withdrawal announcement. Also on Monday’s ballot will be the name of a lone Democratic candidate who will be assured of a spot on the general election ballot since he is the only candidate for his party. All are vying for three seats opening April 1 on Nashville’s village council.

Ext. Home Economist In the search for causes of cancer, it has become clear that some cancers are linked to diet and therefore should be preventable.

The session-is part of Farmers’ Week and Natural Resources Days, March 21-25. The program features three MSU researchers.

He will explain how carcinogens interact with normal body processes to produce mutant cancer cells. Ian Gray, associate professor of food science and human nutrition, will talk about toxic compounds in food, including those that occur naturally and those that are created or added during food processing. Maurice Bennink, associate professor of food science and human nutrition, will talk about specific dietary components and their protective or harmful effects in the development of cancer.

As expressions of our feelings we will send valentines, buy flowers and candies, make long-distance calls, and even go visit people whom we haven't seen for months. The greatest expression of love ever given is recorded in the Bible: "For God so loved the world that He gave His only Begotten Son, that whoso­ ever believeth in Him should not perish but have everlasting life." John 3:16. The love that man has is often "I love you if ... you do such and such for me" or ”1 love you because ... of the way you look or the things you own." God's love is not that shallow but is totally unconditional, as recorded in Romans 5:8: “But God commendeth His love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us." The love chapter of the Bible is really I John 4 where the word "love" is used some 28 times. This chapter tells us that God loves us, has sent His Son Jesus to die for our sins and expects us to love each other in return. I John 4:10, 12, 20-21. The greatest valentine you could give to God this week is to say "I love you" and ask His Son Jesus to forgive your sins. The greatest valentine you could give to your fellow man is your unashamed love, as illustrated in this story of Francis of Assisi: Francis of Assisi was terrified of leprosy. And one day, full in the narrow path that he was traveling, he saw, horribly white in the sunshine, a leper! Instinc­ tively his heart shrank back, recoiling shudderingly from the contamination of that loathsome disease. But then he rallied; and ashamed of himself, ran and cast his arms about the sufferer's neck and kissed him and passed on. A moment later he looked back and there was no one there, only the empty road in the hot sunlight. All his days thereafter he was sure it was no leper, but Christ Himself whom he met.

When asked what goals he would try to help the village achieve, if elected, Kent responded, “It is not a time for big promises.” Though there may be goals we all have, he explained, “during these depressed times you have to stay within your means and try to accomplish what you can with funds available.” He noted that operating a business now is very difficult and concluded, “I strongly believe this is no time to add more responsibility to the already burdened taxpayer.” Regarding improvements he felt could be made in the village, Kent said: “There are many areas that im­ provements are needed but again the whole long range program will have to be studied” and decisions made at that time.

They poured in 26 points in the second quarter to pull ahead 37-29 by the half. Foul trouble plagued both squads. A total of 49 were called with Valley losing four starters by the end of the contest. Valley pulled to within 5 points of the Rams, 57-52 early in the fourth period while three of Springfields starters sat on the bench in foul trouble. It took only a minute for the Lions to fall behind 10 points again when the three returned and Valley was unable to come any closer than 6 points. Free throws kept the Lions in the game as they hit 30 of 35 from the charity stripe. Tony Dunkelberger turned in an outstanding performance hitting 11 of 14 free throws.

The students came up with a multitude of clever slogans last week, and went a step further by designing colorful posters to exhibit their ideas. The posters now are on display on Main Street in windows of Nashville Auto & Farm Supply and the former Pioneer Store building, just north of Kelley’s Variety. The Nashville Chamber of Commerce proposes to place new signs at north, south and west entries to the village to welcome visitors. They are seeking an appropriate slogan in a contest that will award the writer of the winning line $25 in scrip money to be spent at any local Chamber- member business place. To finance the sign project, Chamber members are selling 1,000 raffle tickets at $1 donation each for a St. Patrick’s Day drawing. On March 17 two tickets will be drawn (you need not be present to win.) First prize will be $100 in scrip money and second prize will be $50 in scrip. The “money” will be redeemable for goods or services at any Nashville Chamber- member business. Chamber president Judy Quantrell praised the work Kent, Chaffee, Babcock win GOP of Miss Polanski’s sixth graders and said she hopes it would be an incentive for other children to enter the slogan contest. Anyone with a Nashville address is eligible to enter the slogan contest. Entries may be turned into any Nashville merchant. Vermontville Lions seek old eye-glasses and hearing aids If you have used eyeglasses or hearing aids around the house that you no longer need; the Ver­ montville Lions Club is seeking donations of such items in a collection drive. Containers to deposit the used' items are located at local merchant’s businesses. Gerald Kent Gerald Kent, Richard Chaffee Jr; and Forrest Babcock were top votegetters in Nashville Nashville’s’s primary election Monday. All are Republican and were among eight candidates seeking three two-year seats which will open April 1 on the village council. The names of the three winners will appear on Nashville’s March 14 general election ballot along with Democrat Lonny Kienutske Richard Chaffee who was his party’s only candidate in the primary election. Kent, a former council member, polled 98 votes in Monday’s race. Chaffee, making his first bid for public office, got 94 votes and Babcock,, an incumbent candidate, received 57 votes. Unseated in the election was incumbent Robert Fueri Jr. who received 35 votes. Other unsuccessful canwere Douglas didates Forrest Babcock Aspinall, 52 votes; Daniel Cook, 41; Sidney Green, 17; and Richard Engle, 2. Engle was not actively seeking election, having announced his withdrawal prior to the race due to ill health. Democrat Lonny Kienutske received three votes, but lost eight others due to ticket splitting which is not allowed in a primary, explained Village Clerk Susan Corkwell. Councilman George Hermenitt dies The originality of 6th graders at Kellogg School is evident in these posters brawn for a Chamber-sponsored billboard slogan contest and now displayed in Nashville store windows. The Chamber proposes to erect three signs to welcome visitors to Nashville and is offering prizes to the top slogan writer and also to Winners of a drawing to finance the project.

Several hundred maples in Nashville were tapped last week to launch the 1983 chapter of the community project which dates back to 1942. Nashville Boy Scouts did most of the work of tapping the trees, which included washing some 900 covered sap pails before they were attached to spiles drilled into the maples. Through Thursday, about 320 gallons of sap had been collected by the scouts, said Harold Christiansen, head of the Nashville Syrup Association. Boiling was expected to start as early as Sunday, or as soon as about 1,200 gallons of sap had been deposited in holding tanks at the Sugar Shanty in Putnam Park.

Main Public invited to attend. gallons of sap are needed to produce one gallon of syrup in the boiling-down process done in huge gas-fired evaporators. The flow of sap depends upon thawing daytime temperatures and freezing nights. Christiansen predicts that this winter’s unusual weather — mild and snowless is “bound to have some effect” on the syrup production. He said most syrup producers in this area “don’t look for a very good season.” Christiansen adds jokingly, however, that he has tried to predict the syrup production for the past 16 years and “I haven’t been right yet!” Nashville’s community sugar bush works essentially the same way it did when it was inaugurated 41 years ago to combat a threatened war­ time sugar shortage, but it has grown in scope since that first year when only 200 gallons of syrup were produced and sold for $2.50 each. Now under the direction of the NSA, he project normally results in well over 1,000 gallons being produced each season. The profits are divided among various volunteer organizations, based upon man-hours each donates to the tasks of tapping, collecting, boiling, canning, etc. Individual volunteers may designate that their "wages” be credited to their favorite community group. The 1983 NSA price is $18 a gallon — down a dollar from An occasional comment re­ veals that many people believe a funeral service follows a definite' routine. It may surprise you to know, however, that no two funerals are alike. Each service brings its own requirements. The de­ sires of .the family, are given first consideration, always. In addition, the clergyman's requests must be considered. Then the many details must be arranged around those requests. Each service, therefore, is distinct and follows a program of its own.

How many Nashville folks have ever given thought to the establishment of a local museum to preserve ar­ tifacts, photos, etc. pertinent to the early history of our community? At least one former local resident has. He is Phillip B. Hinder liter of Portage, Mich., son of the late Donald F. Hinderliter, longtime publisher-editor of The Nashville News (forerunner of the Maple Valley News). The elder Hinderliter died in 1982. In a recent letter to us, Phillip indicated his willingness to help in any way possible with a museum project. “Should the village obtain a building for this purpose, I will gladly donate my weekend time to restoration, cleanup, or whatever,” wrote Phillip, who left Nashville 25 years ago but still feels a kinship with the community. Is there local interest in the project? Enough to both start and sustain a museum? What about a suitable location? (The old Nashville News office has often been “batted about” as an appropriate site since the building itself, once an early schoolhouse, played an important role in Nashville history.) Who has ideas or advice to offer? What about funding? We would like to hear from anyone who has interest or data to share. Perhaps we will even be fortunate enough to turn up a volunteer willing to spearhead the project. At present, the closest thing Nashville has to a museum is the Michigan and Local History Room at Putnam Public Library. There, a collection of printed matter and early photos, donated by various in­ dividuals, have been labeled and set up for display, but space limitations preclude exhibits of more elaborate items which would help portray Nashville’s pioneer days. Doubtless there are many folks whose attics contain countless artifacts they would donate to be shown in a Nashville museum. ACTION-ADS CHAIN SAW chains expertly sharpened and repaired, all sizes.

CORKWELL, Village Clerk my concerns and convictions.” In the welcome, he said, in part, “I add a deep concern to this welcome. The Land that we love is in trouble. Our Grand Old Ship of State is floundering in heavy seas. We have broken loose from our moorings and cannot drop the anchor. “Moral and spiritual in­ tegrity, initiative, patriotism, faith in God and ourselves-have always been our mooring and our anchor. We have allowed these to rust and corrode and to become all but useless. “Great waves of moral collapse, economic depression, crime and self­ interest roll over the decks. The Captain is unable to steer the ship. The crew is not in mutiny but is organized in strident political and self-interest groups. Each of these is crying out, ‘Launch the Life Boats — Put us in First! ’ The world is watching,” Fleetham said. “You and I are the grass roots of this great, free nation, the land that Lincoln called, ‘the last great hope on earth!”’ Much depends upon us. May we be a part of the cutting edge of the forces that rebuild our moorings and scrape the rust and barnacles from our anchor to be used again. Let us shore up the holes in the hull of our ship and ride out the storm. Forgetting the life boats we shall bring her back into port! Her decks must be gleaming, her banners streaming and her crew cheering. As she proudly docks, America and the whole world will know that we are still — ‘One Nation, Under God, Indivisible and with Liberty and Justice for All,”’ said Fleetham.

Or so it seemed due to the decorating and culinary efforts of in­ structor Merry Lee Ossenheimer. While wearing grass skirts, leis and flowers, most of which the children made, they entered a world of palm trees, multi colored paper flowers and heart shaped love bugs. The luau feast consisted of such island delicacies as fresh pineapple, kiwii and bananas. Cracking whole coconuts and sampling crackers with avocado dip proved to be a unique learning experience, ac­ cording to Mrs. Ossenheimer. In addition to these colorful festivities, the students also created valentines for their parents, played holiday games and exchanged cards among themselves.

Sue Becraft Phone 945-9554 for Action-Ads High-rise buildings. Many of us work or live in them; few of us get through a year without visiting a high-rise office building, hotel or apartment building. Here are fire-wise tips for how to behave if the high-rise you’re in catches fire. Rule number one can be expressed in two words: don’t jump! Above the third floor, jumping isn’t even a gamble — it’s just suicide. The rest of the rules are designed to keep you out of situations where jumping becomes an option. In any high-rise, look around until you’ve found at least two exit stairways. Never consider an elevator as a fire exit; they have a tendency to beeline right to the fire floor. If you’re checking into a hotel and you think you’re too far from an exit stairway, that’s reason enough to request another room. ' Here’s what to do when fire strikes. On smelling smoke, head for the exit. If you’re in a hotel, take your key — you may need to return to the room. Crawl to the door — invisible toxic gases rise — and feel it for heat. If the door is hot, stay where you are. If it’s warm, open the door carefully to check hallway conditions. If the hallway looks passable, crawl along the wall on the same side as the exit. If there is heavy smoke on the steps below you, head for the roof. Prop the door open, station yourself up­ wind of the smoke and wait forr rescue. If neither the hallway nor the stairs is passable, return to your room. Aren’t you glad you remembered your keys? Close the door and get on the phone to the fire department and building management. Stuff towels (preferably wet) or other fabric along the bottom of the door to prevent smoke from en­ tering the room. If smoke becomes heavy, crawl to the window, open it and breathe through it. Hang a sheet or brightly colored article of clothing out the window to attract rescue. Breathe through a dry cloth to filter smoky air, and remember that smoke and toxic gases rise, so stay low. Once you’ve gotten to this point, there’s nothing more you can do but wait. If you’re above the third floor, you’re unlikely to survive a jump — nor are you likely to survive stunts like tying sheets together and climbing down them. If the fire engulfs your room, jumping might become advisable but we’re not talking about fire safety any more; you’re just picking a way to die. Even in this grave situation, hold on as long as you can — rescue may be seconds away, un­ beknownst to you. If high-rises are a big part of your lifestyle, consider these fire-wise investments. Travelers who frequently stay in high-rise hotels often carry their own smoke detector in case their hotel doesn’t have them. And well­ heeled high-rise dewellers might consider buying a oneuse air mask from a safety supplier for stairway exit even through heavy smoke. But whatever happens, remember that rule number one is: don’t jump! 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, PO.O. Box L, Vermontville, MI 49096.

M victim to a violent crime last year. For the last five years, we in Michigan have been fortunate to have a crime victims compensation program which acknowledges and attempts to alleviate some of the suffering of these victims. The consequences of a criminal assault can range from minor abrasions to permanent paralysis to death. “While most people un­ derstand the seriousness of mutilation and death, the general public is not aware of the extent of physical injury in even ‘minor’ crimes. Increasingly, the medical costs are borne by ther victim. Even if the victim is covered by a program of hospitalization and medical insurance he must pay many related medical expenses,” said economy, this program is even more important than before. Crime victims compensation has never been a welfare program. If you are on welfare, you do not qualify for crime victims compensation. “This program is for the person who is just making it — who is coping with being laid off, with higher taxes, with all the trauma of life in Michigan today. If on top of all that, he becomes a victim of a crime, he will have unexpected additional medical costs and lost earnings that can be devasting. This is not a windfall for medical providers. If we do not assist in the payment of those bills, they don’t go away. They become the added burden of innocent victims,” he said. “One of every 157 Michigan residents fell Slaton. “Although I do not suggest that any other program be cut instead of crime victims, I strongly urge that the administration look at all programs in light of their direct service to people. “At this point this is only a recommendation. I will be meeting with some legislators tb see what we can do. Hopefully, this program will be able to continue to assist the crime victims of this state,” he said. Since 1977, $7.14 million in total compensation has been awarded to victims of crime. During 1981-82 the total compensation awarded was $1,726,200, with the average single award being about $1,544. During that time, there were 1,712 applications for compensation but 841 were denied. Places to go and Things to do. Obituaries Mary Lou Marcum VERMONTVILLE - Mrs. Mary Lou Marcum, 54, of 478 S.

On Feb. 14, Amy Jo Cole’s doubts were dismissed when she was selected from a field of five finalists to reign as Vermontville’s 43rd Maple Syrup Festival Queen. Amy’s already enthusiastically talking about how she’ll help promote her town’s April syrup festival and its golden brown homeproduced maple syrup which has put put Vermontville on the map. Some of the key points she The new syrup queen has had first hand experience in making maple syrup. This photo was taken last year when she helped Merle Martin (right) tap trees. Mike Martin is shown with his back to the camera. says she’ll promote are the friendly people in Ver­ montville and the fact that community people are the Ones who put on the festival which has “something for everyone.” Amy confesses that maple syrup poured over baking powder biscuits is the favorite way she enjoys syrup. She also loves maple creme on hot toast. Seventeen-year-old Amy will be crowned queen on Saturday, April 30 during morning events at the weekend festival. Other festival royalty include girls Amy has grown up with since kindergarten days. They are Trixie Jo Robison, alternate queen, and members of the court: Katerina Brumm, Michelle Trowbridge, and Julie Villanueva. The daughter of Paula and Gerald Cole of 3334 Ver­ montville Highway, Amy says she is delighted to be the new syrup queen. “I think it will be fun to go to different places and meet people,” she said. Part of her duties will include representing Vermontville in parades in different parts of the state and promoting the upcoming festival on television. As a youngster and in recent years, Amy has been active in Vermontville’s syrup festival. She was in the annual kiddies parade many years ago dressed in costume for a take-off of Little Miss Muffet who was eating pancakes instead of the traditional curds and Amy has a collection of hearts on a variety of objects that have been given to her from many people. The wooden heart she holds was handcrafted by her younger brother, Ryan. Amy was surrounded by her parents, Paula and Gerald Cole (shown in the photo) and other family members the night she was selected syrup queen. whey. “The only thing I can remember about it was that it had something to do with a stack of pancakes glued together,” laughs Amy. One year during festival time, she helped serve pancakes for the American Legion’s pancake fundraiser. She’s also marched in past syrup festival parades as a Brownie and as a member of the junior high and senior high bands. Amy has been playing the trumpet for seven years and also is in the school’s pep band which plays for basketball games. Learning the process of making maple syrup from start to finish was a project Amy tackled last year with help from the Merle Martin family. At the Martin’s “sugar bush” she helped with drilling holes in the trees, putting in spiles, hanging buckets, gathering sap, and boiling it into syrup. Her favorite part was tasting the pure Vermontville maple syrup while it was still warm. Amy plans to visit each local syrup producer this year and help out when she can. The new queen was born in Lansing to parents who were raised and educated in Vermontville. Amy has a 10-year-old sister, Dana, and a 12-yearold brother, Ryan. English is Amy’s favorite class at Maple Valley High School where she is a junior. “I like the class (English) because I like the teacher and its an independent study. You earn points at your own pace,” she said. Amy also enjoys jour­ nalism. She writes feature stories and a column for the school’s paper, Valley Visions. She enjoys writing the The new queen has been playing, the trumpet for seven years and is active in the high school marching band and pep band. column the best. It’s called “Lyin Tales” and includes anecdotes about amusing incidents that have hap­ pened to students. The new queen is very athletically inclined. She is on the volleyball team which only has four games left this season. In warmer weather, she loves softball and has played on the Little League Girls team, the Vermontville League for four years, the JV team for two years, and the Co-Ed team. She has played on first-base, in center field, and served as pitcher. “I like first base best because you get a lot of action,” Amy said. Powderpuff football is another activity in which she has participated, but she notes that it is being discontinued. Last week, Amy was initiated into the school’s Varsity Club after comContinued on next poge- When it's time to relax, Amy enjoys cross-stitching and gives many of her creations away as gifts. (Maple Valley News photos by Elaine Gilbert) �The Maple Valley News, Nashville, Tuesday, February 22, 1983 — Page 11 Syrup Festival, continued— pie ting ' initiation requirements which in­ cluded doing 15-push ups, singing solos such as “Row, Row, Row Your Boat” and the school fight song, etc. Amy has served on the student council for four years and was class treasurer during her fresh­ man year. After high school graduation, she plans to attend Argubright Business College. “I’d like to go into the business field, but I’m not sure what yet,” she said. When it comes to hobbies, Amy has a lot of hearts. She has a collection of heart-shaped items that range from a candy dish to an umbrella decorated with hearts. She has heart-shaped pillows, a purse she decorated with cross-stitch hearts, wall hangings with hearts on them, a doille with crocheted hearts, a hand- carved wooden heart, a wicker trinket box shaped like a heart, and heart­ shaped soap, earrings, sachet, and picture frame. The collection includes a handkerchief and pencil, both with heart designs. She even has a monogramed sweater with the “m” in the name Amy shaped like a heart. Her wardrobe also includes a turtleneck sweater embellished with hearts. Needlework is one of her favorite hobbies. Amy spends hours with cross­ stitching and stenciling (painting on fabric). She has made wall hangings, stockings, a baby quilt, bibs, and more using the sten­ ciling technique. Her cross-stitch work has included putting poems on cloth with her needle and thread. She’s also made cross-stitch Chrismas decorations, and pillows. Amy gives most of her handiwork as gifts to friends and relatives. In her spare time, Amy enjoys swimming in the summer and cross-country skiing in the winter (except for this one). She says the skiing provides good exer­ cise and she most often skiis on paths in the woods behind her home and on a golf course in Sunfield. Amy said she took tap dance lessons for a year, but decided it wasn’t for her. She also is a former Brownie and 4-H member, pursuing each of those ac­ tivities for about a year. Currently most of Amy’s time is spent studying. She also does a lot of babysitting. a Maintaining good scholastic average in school is one of the ac­ complishments in which Amy says she has been proud of during her young lifetime. Another major ac­ complishment, she laughs, was learning to drive a stick shift. YOU DECIDE WHICH IS GOING TO BE NUMBER ONE. BIO MAC OR CHICKEN McHUGOETS ? •BIG MAC SANDWICH.

JV volleyball pulls through At Bellevue, last Monday night, second string girls had to be moved up because of lack of 1st string players. They gave Bellevue a good game until poor serving and Bellevue’s excellent serving got the better of Maple Valley. With the team helping, the following girls scored their serves: Sharon Currier with 5 pts., Malinda Wagner 4 pts., Amy Laverty, Tammy Frith and Audrey Dumont with 1 pt. each. Thursday night the same team went to Olivet to win 2 out of 3 games. Great determination was their power to overcome the Eagles. With the team helping, the following girls scored their serves: Malinda Wagner with 15 pts., Sharon Currier 12 pts., Heidi Braden and Amy Laverty with 5 pts., each, Sally Jensen 4 pts., Paula Tuttle with 1 pt. “Great going you girls! I am glad you pulled through when I needed you,” said the coach with a special thanks to Mrs. Laverty. Varsity V-ballers split contests The Maple Valley varsity volleyball team traveled to Olivet Thursday evening to win a close three game match. The Lions won the first game 15 to 9 with Kelly Todd serving seven pointe and Lynn DeGroot serving five points. Olivet took the second game 15 to 12 with the Lions getting even scoring from Lynn DeGroot, Cindy Symonds and Kelly Todd. Maple Valley came back to win the third and deciding game 15 to 12. Loretta Meehan served six of the points -and Lynn DeGroot four points. Kelly Todd played her best game of the year on defense with a fine defensive contribution by Lisa Pomeroy and Dawn Hartwell also. The Lions traveled to Bellevue earlier in the week to lose a well- played match two games to one. Jane Schippel and Tari Swift each served well in that losing effort.

Vol. 111 - No. 36 ■ Tuesday, March 1,1983 Nashville Village Council adopts 'lower budget' by Susan Hinckley A village budget of $483,564 for the 1983 fiscal year was approved Thursday by the Nashville council. In ad­ dition to that amount, $18,457 in 1983 federal revenue sharing funds was allocated by the council. The 1983 budget is $31,744 lower than last year’s village budget of $515,308 because of anticipated cuts in funding from the state. Local of­ ficials were told not to plan on receiving income from intangible tax and single business tax revenues. Revenue from state income taxes is also expected to drop. In the new spending plan, $205,375 was earmarked for the general fund, with $86,148 of that amount designated for general government expenditures. Operation of Nashville’s police department is ex­ pected to cost $65,011 for the fiscal year which ends in February 1984, and it is anticipated that $40,000 will be spent on locally ad­ ministered streets in that period. Sewer fund expenditures for the year were set at $150,738 and water fund expensed at $63,860. Trunkline expenditures for major streets under Act 51 are expected to run $43,112, and Act 51 local streets expenses, $20,479. Maintenance of the municipal water tower on West Casgrove Street, which officials say needs interior recoating, will take the biggest share of 1983 federal revenue sharing monies. The council allocated $8,500 for the water tower project. Other appropriations of the total $18,457 Nashville received in federal funds include $2,500 operational monies for Putnam Public Library; $1,500 to buy two portable radios for the Nash­ ville Police Dept.; $3,000 to install a new roof on the village garage on Cleveland Street; and $2,957 for a village tree-trimming project. In other business Thur­ sday, the council: — Approved five ad­ ditional holiday closures for village hall. These will not be holidays for village em­ ployees but will bring the Nashville office schedule in line with holidays observed by all other governmental units in the county, in con­ junction with state and federal observances. The new days approved for office closure are Martin Luther King Day; Presidents’ Day; Columbus Day; Veterans’ Day; and General Election Day. — Tabled for study and recommendation by the council’s policy committee a proposal from the Police Dept, committee for an improved sick-pay plan for all full-time village em­ ployees and supervisors. The new schedule would raise the annual sick time allotment from the present five days per year to ten days which can be accumulated up to 90 days. One facet of the proposal which drew fire from some council members Thursday would provide that after 10 years service, an employee upon separation from the village, would be paid at one-half rate for unused sick time acContinued on page 3— Cable TV service almost ready in Nashville by Susan Hinckley Nashville residents may be able to hook up to cable TV service by the second week of March, according to Charles Leonard, vice president of Charter Telecommunications, Inc. His firm has a consent agreement to furnish cable TV service to the village before a May 13 deadline. Leonard said Thursday that the necessary wires have been strung throughout the village and a satellite receiving “dish” was in- stalled Tuesday at a Charterleased site near Nashville’s municipal water tower on West Casgrove Street. Beginning March 7, the firm expects to be accepting subscription orders at their local office at 230 N. Main Street. Potential subscribers may call Charter at 852-9236 for details. Leonard said his company also plans to ex­ tend service to the com­ munity of Vermontville in the near future. Kellogg students to get letters from afar! Sixth graders in the classes of teachers Steve Slag, Vicki Polanski and Sandra Briggs at Kellogg School in Nashville area looking forward to letters from distant lands in a recently- launched pen pal exchange program. Each child selected a favorite country from a brochure supplied to the school listing prospective correspondents from around the world. Although the USA was included, most Kellogg students chose foreign pen pals of their approximate age and soon will be drafting their first letters to their new friends. Teens read to youngsters Speech students of Mrs. Dorothy Carpenter at Maple Valley High were at Maplewood Elementary in Vermontville Tuesday to read stories to kindergarten and first-grade students as a class project. Fourteen teen-agers participated in the event, and were to conduct a similar session Friday at Fuller Street School in Nashville. Shown reading to afternoon kindergarten students in the class of Miss Linda Jones is Robert Browne (standing) while other MVHS students await their turns. They are, back row from left, Donna Kirby, Robin Terpening and Tony Dunkelberger. Front row, from left, Jess Bahs, Marion Visger and Carrie Lea.

(Maple Valley News photo by Susan Hinckley) �The Maple Valley News, Nashville, Tuesday, March 1, 1983 — Page 2 Nashville News “Nashville has the best business men, the biggesthearted women, the prettiest girls, the cleverest boys, the purest water, and the healthiest climate, and the biggest fish of any town its size in the northwest.” Although we no longer consider Michigan as being located in the northwest, and the description is a bit flowery, this is the way Nashville News Editor Orno Strong saw the village over 100 years ago, when he published this observation back in June 1882. Perhaps his words will prove an in­ spiration to potential en­ trants in Nashville’s Chamber-sponsored slogan­ writing contest which is to end March 9. The author of the winning slogan will have the satisfaction of seeing hisher work on three signboards the Chamber proposes to erect at entries to the village to welcome visitors to Nash­ ville. The winner of the slogan contest, in addition to recognition, also will receive $25 in scrip money to be spent at any local Chamber­ member business place. To finance the sign project, Chamber members are selling 1,000 raffle tickets at $1 donation each for a St. Patrick’s Day drawing, at which one need not be present to win. First prize in the drawing is $100 in scrip money and second prize is $50. The “money” is redeemable for goods or services at any Nashville Chamber-member business. Anyone with a Nashville address is eligible to enter the slogan-writing contest. Entries may be submitted to any Nashville merchant before the March 9 deadline. The Capitalaires Quartette of Lansing will perform in concert at the 7 p.m. Sunday service, March 6, at the Church of the Nazarene in Nashville. The public is cordially invited to attend. Sharon and Clarence (“Bud”) Furlong and Barb and Herb Roberts, all of Nashville, were honorees at a dual wedding anniversary party staged Saturday evening, Feb. 19, at Nash­ ville’s Community Center by their friends and relatives. An evening of music, food and fellowship was enjoyed by the numerous folks at­ tending the event. The Furlongs were marking their second anniversary and the Roberts, their first. Mrs. Oneita Laurent of Nashville was slated to undergo open-heart bypass surgery Monday at Blodgett Hospital in Grand Rapids. No other details were available at the time of this report.

VOGT FUNERAL HOME FUNERAL DIRFCTDRS IN NASHVILLE PHONE 852-0840 By Susan Hinckley Women United, will be ob­ served locally at 7 p.m. Friday, March 4, at St. Cyril Church in Nashville.Mrs. Sharon r'tfrlong underwent surgery Friday, Feb. 25, at Butterworth Hospital in Grand Rapids and is expected to be home shortly after this appears in print. United Methodist Women will meet at 7:30 p.m. Wednesday, March 2, at the home of Mrs. Olith Hamilton of Nashville. Otto Dahm of Nashville was a surgical patient last week at Pennock Hospital in Hastings. The Nashville Fire Dept, was called out about 1 o’clock Sunday afternoon to extinguish a grass fire which started near the Sandy Salyers place at Sandyland Park, on M-79 west of Nash­ ville, and spread to the adjacent Lewis Schulze property. The firefighters were on the scene about half an hour. Fire Chief Doug Yarger said the fire started with trash being burned on the ground at the Salyers residence. Later in the day, about 4:45 p.m., Nashville firemen were again summoned to a grass fire — this time at the Rick Mengyan place on S. Clark Road in the old Quailtrap School district south of town. The blaze was the result of burning trash in a barrel with no screen. Fire Chief Doug Yarger reminds local residents that all trash burning must be done iin barrels with approved screens. He points out that the grass fire season is here, having arrived about a month early this year, and conditions are unusually dry. A St. Patrick’s Day “Late Skate” event is planned by the Senior High Dept, of Nashville Baptist Church. The Thursday, March 17 outing between the hours of 8-11 p.m. will be at the Spectrum in Hastings, where the young people also will enjoy video games in ad­ dition to roller skating. Becoming grandparents for the first time proved to be literally a “double thrill” for Joy and Ralph Peake of Nashville. Making duo debuts on February 12 at a Battle Creek hospital were Brent and Brian, twin sons of Larry and Chris (Janssen) Peake of Delton. The fact that there were two babies on the way had been known for several months before their arrival. Brent weighted in at 7 lbs. 1 oz. and Brian tipped the scales at 6 lbs. 5 ozs. Ralph Peake, Sr. of Delton is the parental great grandfather and Mrs. Lura Harrington, also of Delton, is a paternal great - grandmother. Maternal grand­ parents of the babies are Lawrence and Beverly Janssen of Kalamazoo. Also living in that city are three great - grandparents on the maternal side of the family. The Peakes expect a third grandchild to arrive in March. Congratulations also are in order for the former Pam Showalter of Nashville and her husband, John Pearson of Okemos, on the birth Monday, Feb. 21, of a 7 lb. 9 oz. boy, whom they have named Christopher Charles. The Pearsons also, have a daughter, Angela, age two. Mrs. Melissa Showalter and Mrs. Elsie Cogswell, both of Nashville, are great grandmothers on the maternal side. Pam is the daughter of the late Glenard and Annabelle Showalter of Nashville. A Men’s Breakfast at United Methodist Church in Nashville is set for 7:30 a.m. Sunday, March 6, in the Community House. Don Reid of Hope United Methodist Church in Hastings will furnish a program of music. A letter last week from Guy Howell, a former local resident now of Tucson, Arizona, commented on several recent Memories stories. “I remember the John Appelman store,” wrote Howell. “We bought our groceries there during the 1920s. After the A. & P. came to town, we started doing our shopping there. Prices were more reasonable and that really counted back in those days.” He added that the photo we used showing the interior of Appelman’s store lookedjust as it did in the early 1920s when he first saw it. Howell also wrote that he enjoyed the article about Dr. C. K. Brown. “I remember him well, although he wasn’t our family doctor. Our’s at first was Dr. Shilling, then Dr. Morris.” He added that he also remembered Dr. Brown’s son, Carl, who as an aviator became a Flying Tiger during World War II. (We learned recently from Jack Green of Nashville that Carl is now a doctor in California and has sons who also are in the medical profession.) And on the recent photo of the 1934 NHS basketball team, Howell had this comment: “I remember the five boys in that picture. I went out for basketball when they practiced in the old opera house but all I got out of it was some floor burns. I was only second string.” Guy Howell’s comments on another topic will be of interest to Nashville’s fourth-graders in the class of Dave Doozan at Fuller Street school. “The first edition of the Fuller Street News was very good,” wrote Howell. “I enjoyed it. It was well put together and I think the students can be proud of it.” Although Howell has never been a reporter, he was once a press photographer covering the news of Cloudcroft, New Mexico, for the Alamogorda Daily News. Howell’s wife, Florence, was the reporter for Cloudcroft. The Nashville Police Dept.handled 56 complaints in the month of January, according to an activities report presented Thursday to the village council by Sgt. Gene Koetje, acting chief. Among the complaints were five larcenies, two malicious destructions to propety, one prowler complaint, and one criminal sexual conduct. The Nashville officers issued seven parking violation tickets and eight moving citations during the month. They made six arrests; gave six assists to the Barry County Sheriff’s Dept., and one to Vermontville police. The Nashville cruiser was driven 2,627 miles in January, using 277 gallons of gasoline.

Allen Krizek, County Extension Director, explains that the gardener provides information on the size, shape and orientation of the garden spot, the crops desires whether food will be grown just for fresh use or for processing, the number of people in the household, and the cultivation method to be used. The computer then produces a diagram of the garden showing the row placement of .the various crops. It also tells how many feet of each crop or how many individual plants or hills to plant to produce the ap­ propriate quantity of each crop. Cultural information on the crop -- when to plant, how to plant, how far apart to space plants, etc. - is also available. The fee for the garden planning program is $3.50.

JANICE BAKER, Township Clerk When he retired in 1958 Dr. Morris was Barry County's oldest practicing physician. In his 60-year service to Nashville, he had treated third and four generations of many local families. Dr. Morris started making house calls by horse and buggy and continued the practice by auto in later years. He died in 1962 just a few weeks short of his 87th birthday. (Photo by Gladys Miller Richardson) Dr. Edgar T. Morris arrived in Nashville at age 23, fresh from his internship at Cook County Hospital in Chicago. That was in 1898 and the start of a lifelong career as a local physician headquartered in a tiny office near his residence on South Main Street. 1870, is one of the older structures still standing in the village. The petite building originally sat on the southeast corner of the Main and Washington streets intersection until it was moved to the South Main Street location in 1899 by Dr. Comfort. “The little buildings which have stood for so many years at the corner of Main and Washington streets are being moved this week to make room for two handsome new brick store buildings which Frank McDerby will erect and occupy,” advised the Nashville News on Sept. 15, 1899. “Of the three buildings which stood on the property, Dr. R. P. Comfort bought the one formerly occupied by H. W. Walrath (Shoemaker) and is moving it to his recently purchased residence property on South Main Street, where he will use it for an office. He has also bought the barn and will move it onto the back of his lot” The barn later became a carriage house for Dr. Morris, who made his early calls by horse and buggy. Vern Staup remembered the doctor stabling a horse in the barn. “But when I was a young fellow, about the age of his son Emory, we played together and were often in the carriage house,” he recalled. “Then, it held Dr. Morris’ auto; that was about 1910.” (Emory, the Morrises’ only child, later became a dentist and, in time, president and general director of the Kellogg Foundation in Battle Creek.) House calls, whether by horse or auto, were routine for physicians in Dr. Morris’ early years in Nash­ ville. “I can remember when we moved here in 1935, Dp. Morris made house calls day or night,” said Mrs. Margaret Wagner, who with her husband, Curtis, moved to Nashville from Chicago. The Wagners lived two doors south of the Morris residence. Office or house calls were only $1 then,” recalls Mrs. Wagner. By that time, Vern Staup was no longer a young lad playing in Dr. Morris’ carriage house. He was a local barber and was able to help the doctor with tran­ sportation when needed. “In the early 1930s, I oc­ casionally drove Dr. Morris to Hastings to the hospital,” remembered Vern. “There were times when he didn’t feel like driving.” In Dr. Morris’ early days in Nashville, trips to out-of­ town hospitals were far and few between. He and Dr. F. F. Shilling, another favorite physician of that earlier era, performed many simple operations in homes of their patients. Later on, -Morris often teamed up with Dr. Carl K. Brown for simple home surgeries. “Dr. Morris was con­ sidered to be one of the best heart doctors in this part of the country and he was also a good surgeon,” remembered Helen Hecker, whose family, the Jesse Millers, located south of town in 1909. “Dr. Shilling would ad­ minister the anesthetic and Dr. Morris would do the surgery when they per­ formed operations,” she added. Eventually Shilling suffered a stroke, became incapacitated for over a year, and died in April 1925, ending a Nashville practice started in 1904. In 1932, a private hospital was opened in Nashville by two nurses from Woodland. The facility was located in the red brick former Elliston home on the southeast corner of State and Maple streets. (Not to be confused with a later hospital estbalished directly across the street in the brick home now occupied by Mr. and Mrs. Arden Schantz.) The new hospital in the Elliston residence had six beds and an operating room, but Dr. Morris did not use the facility. By that time, his patients that required hospitalization were being admitted to Pennock in Hastings. In his spare time, Dr. Morris enjoyed all sorts of sports. “He loved to fish,” recalls Margaret Wagner. “He fished with Curt whenever he could — anytime he could get way from his practice.” Vern Staup remembered one time when the doctor went coon hunting with the fellows and got lost. And Helen Hecker recalled: “He pitched horseshoes with my husband, Vera That was in the 1930s and they traveled to tournaments all over.” Mrs. Hecker also reminisced about another sporting event enjoyed by Dr. Morris. “He always came to Nashville’s high school football games when he had a chance, especially the traditional Thanksgiving Day game when alumni or teachers would challenge the local team.” In addition to various medical society associations and lodge affiliations, Dr. Morris found time to serve his community in civic and academic fields. He had six terms as a village trustee after his election in 1908 to the Nashville council and served nine years on the local school board — a post to which he was elected in 1922. Dr. Morris continued his medical practice here until he was 82 years old. “By that time, his hands were shaking so badly he had difficulty giving a shot,” remembered Vern Staup. Dr. Morris’ wife died in 1945, but he continued to make Nashville his home after giving up his medical practice in 1958. Before his retirement, he was named the oldest practicing physician in Barry County. And cer­ tainly, Dr. E. T. Morris’ 60­ year tenure in Nashville set an unprecedented record for the village. �The Maple Valley News. Nashville. Tuesday.

Hall. Guests for the evening included Mr. and Mrs. Foss White, Mr. and Mrs. Ray Ditzer, Sharon Bishop and Ken Meade along with Boy Scout Troop 177. Each den presented a skit or demonstration. The Webelos showed some of the skills they needed to win a first place at the Klondike Derby. Some were first aid, trail signs and knots. Den One had made several flags from other countries and extended their hands in friendship to all nations. Den Two, which has been ^studying nutrition, decorated cakes with bananas, cherries and pineapple. The results looked good enough to eat. Each cub in Den Three read a salute to scouting in different countries. Den Four, which used its skit for a closing, dressed up in clothing representing different countries in a salute to the country and scouting. Cubs earning badges and achievements were: Ryan Rosin - Webelos badge and Sportsman; Billy Brauer Naturalist; Shawn Grinage - Citizen; Lee Ossenheimer Webelos badge; Ray Hood Engineer; Eric Eberly Scholar; Matt Carpenter Bear; Ken Brauer and Joe Currier - Bobcat badges; Mitchell Ainslie,, Chris Mudry, Niki Grinage, Ty Petrie and Chris Varney Wolfbadges; Shawn Watkins - gold arrow; and Kevin Burd - silver arrow. Dale Ossenheimer, Webelos leader, congratulated the cubs who received a badge in language from a different country. Shawn Walkins and Alvin Morgan advanced to Webelos and were welcomed to the den by Dale Ossenheimer. Scoutmaster Ken Meade and Troop 177 were on hand to welcome Terry Kellogg to Boy Scouts. We wish to thank our sponsors, the V.F.W. Post 8260, for all its support and for letting us use the V.F.W. Hall for our banquet.

But what do you do immediately after fire strikes your home? As soon as the fire is over, notify your insurance company. Most larger home insurers maintain 24-hour claim centers to accept initial claim reports, and authorize money for im­ mediate needs like a hotel room and emergency closure. If fire damage is not so severe as to endanger your home’s structural integrity, fire officials may permit you to re-enter the home after the fire is out. Here are simple steps you can take to reduce loss and damage. Recover valuables such as dimity your wallet, keys, jewelry and spare cash, if they have not been fire damaged. Cover furniture with cloths to prevent further smoke damage. Wooden-legged furniture should be removed from standing water to reduce warping, swelling and discoloration. On the way out, recover medications such as insulin. Immediately arrange for emergency closure — your insurance company may automatically send someone to board up doors and win­ dows to prevent looting. If not, call one yourself — most cities have one or more closure contractors who work 24 hours a day. If a member of your family is on medication such as insulin and your supply is not recoverable, telephone your nearest hospital emergency room and describe the situation.

Coupon Good Mar 6-8 �The Maple Valley News. Nashville, Tuesday. March 1. 1983 — Page 10 Mixing-up batches of Maple sweets in Vermontville— Whipping-up bowk of sweet treats are (from left) Frances Snyder, secretary of the historical society: Martha Zemke, president of the society; and Amy Jo Cole, 1983 Vermontville Syrup Queen. With spoons and bowls in hand about 90 persons whipped-up some sweet maple treats at the Ver­ montville Historical Society’s ninth annual “Sugaring-off Party” last week. It was the largest crowd to ever attend the event, ac­ cording to the society’s president, Martha Zemke. A highlight of the sugaring-offpary is when hot maple sap is poured into individual bowls and each person at the party stirs...and stirs...and stirs the mixture with a spoon until it is transformed into delicious maple sugar candy. For this year’s event to signal the start of another syrup making season, the Gearharts — Fem, Martha, and Larry — prepared the boiled sap for the crowd. Fern also brought part of her collection of antique syrup pitchers and some historical items used in maple syrup making long ago. One item of interest was an old syrup can that had been used by her a member of her family many years ago. Larry told the group about the many tentative plans that are in the works for the first “Michigan Maple Week.” He serves as program chairman for the special week which is ex­ pected to receive Legislative approval soon. Fern said this year marks the earliest she has ever boiled sap from her maple trees. She boiled sap on Feb. 17 this year but said she wished she would have tapped her trees earlier — in January because of the unusually warm weather. Last year her first boiling day was March 13. Also at the sugaring-off party, the 1982 syrup queen Beth Heald was presented with a life membership in the historical society. She commented that all of her activities as queen were “fun,” but that her favorite events were riding in 10 parades and appearing on a Lansing television station. The sugaring-off program was preceded by a potluck dinner at the First Congregational Church. Serving on the committee were Katherine Snider, Joyce and Jack Rathburn, Barbara Wright, Sharon and Bill Mason, Hildred Peabody, and Kay and Ron Ramsay. Mrs. Green’s class is winner! Mrs. Green’s fourth grade class had a popping good time Friday, after collecting the most Post Fun ’n Fitness Points for Feb. Their reward was a popcorn feast which was throughly enjoyed by all. The efforts of the class is much appreciated. And the efforts of one boy, James Dunn, must be especially commended. James brought in over 100 points by himself during the month. The Maplewood School, as of last Tuesday, had collected a total of 1,452 points. Congratulations! That is over one- fourth of our goal, of 8,400 points. Keep up the good work.

Vol. Ill - No. 37 - Tuesday, March 8. 1983 Administrative contracts extended at M.V. by Steve Horton On a split 4-3 vote Maple Valley’s Board of Education granted the five school administrators two-year extensions on their contracts. Voting agains_t the measure were Dale Ossenheimer, Jr., Ronald Tobias and David Hawkins. They opposed a two-year extension, preferring the pacts be renewed for a single year instead. The three cited the uncertainty of the district’s financial future as the reason for their ‘no’ vote. Maple Valley has been forced to trim the budget during the last couple years and currently finds itself in tight economic straits because of the freeze on February’s state state aid payment. Virginia Fox, Charles Viele, Merle Martin, and Wayne Cogswell, however, voted in favor of the motion, giving the four building administrators contracts until June, 30, 1985 and superintendent Carroll Wolff a contract until June 30,1986. Those building officials are: Burr Hartenburg, high school and junior high principal; Larry Lenz, assistant principal at the Continued on page 8 Girl Scouts Celebrate 71st Birthday, Mar. 6-12 Nashville President proclaims Girl Scout Week locally In proclaiming March 6-12 organization's founding this as Girl Scout Week, Nash-week. ville Village President John “Since 1912, Girl Scouting Hughes is calling upon all has opened new worlds of local citizens to give theft thought and action to more continued interest, than 45 million members,” cooperation, and support to Hughes’ proclamation said. the the Girl Girl Scouts.

Hughes noted that Girl Scouting helps girls learn to walk in worlds where no woman has walked before. Looks like a ‘short & sweet’ syrup making season by Susan Hinckley “Short and sweet” may be the best way to describe Nashville’s 1983 syrup­ making season. In fact, final sap collection in the village was expected to occur over the weekend. The unseasonably warm weather, with temperatures in the low 70s both Thursday and Friday, will soon sour the sap, says Harold Christiansen, head of Nash­ ville Syrup Association and a longtime volunteer in the community’s annual sugarbush project. “Thursday was the first day we couldn’t collect sap,” noted Christiansen. "We’re just about done if the next few days are warm.” Nashville Boy Scouts, who tapped the approximately 900 maples in the village, have been making the collection round since hanging the buckets the third week of February. Before Thursday’s boiling commenced at the Nashville Sugar ugar Shanty any in n Putnam unam Park, the NSA had produced 339 gallons of syrup in ten boiling sessions. “That’s not even half as much as (we produced) last year,” said Christiansen, but added that NSA was “tickled with that.” He said the organization is overstocked with sryup left from last year’s bumper crop of 815 gallons. And in 1980 NSA produced a record 1,300 gallons, so there has been no shortage of syrup on hand. Though quantity is down this season, Christiansen notes that it is “a lot more than we expected.” And the quality of syrup is definitely up. “This is about as nice a”a syrup as we’ve ever made,” Christiansen said of the clear, golden nectar produced last week by NSA. He added that lack of moisture in the ground this winter has made for a better product. Continued on page 12 This year’s syrup is top quality, says Harold Christiansen, head of Nashville's Syrup Association for the past 16 years. Our unseasonably warm winter made for a short season, but NSA is not lacking in supply, says Christiansen, seen here testing the consistency of sap boiling in the gas-fired evaporators at the Sugar Shanty in Putnam Park. (Maple Valley News photo by Susan Hinckley) The cans were still warm with fresh-made syrup as NSA volunteer Nelson Brumm stacked the filled containers at the Sugar Shanty Thursday. After boiling and straining, NSA syrup is canned in various sizes from half-pints to gallons. It is available at the Sugar Shanty and three other locations in Nashville. �The Maple Valley News, Nashville, Tuesday, March 8, 1983 — Page 2 Nashville New local Chamber-sponsored contest to find an ap­ propriate slogan to welcome visitors to Nashville, via three signboards the organization proposes to erect at entries to the village.

Clifton and Arloa Baxter of Nashville recently returned home from a trip to Florida where they were guests of Mr. and Mrs. Orvall Mc­ Cleary of Ft. Myers (she’s the former Dorothy Hicks of Nashville) and Mr. and Mrs. Harold Root of Bradenton. While in Florida, the Baxters called on many old friends, including the Harry John­ sons, Bruce Randalls, Maurice Adriansons, Henry Woudstras, George Trim­ mers, Theo Carters, and Mr. and Mrs. Bernard Garvey, The old adage “Everybody talks about the weather, but nobody does anything about it,” was only partially true in this vicinity last week. At least everybody was talking about the weather! No one was concerned with doing anything about it, since the balmy, sunshiny tem­ peratures were absolutely perfect—a rare treat for the first week of March in Michigan. Residents of the Maple Valley area watched in disbelief as thermometers shot into the 60s and low 70s on several successive days to break all-time weather records that have been kept since 1894. March’s lamb­ like entry is just one more chapter in a unique 1983 winter season, which oldtimers in this locality con­ sider the mildest in their recollection.

They departed from Miami on Sunday and returned the following Sunday. Rough seas and a scarcity of sun­ shine made the trip less than perfect but they enjoyed meeting many people on the ship, which carried 880 passengers. There were opportunities for shopping and lots of other activities on board. In addition, the ship made four stops where passengers were free to go ashore. In the Dominican Republic, the ladies noted poverty conditions. Other ports were at St. Thomas in the Virgin Islands; San Juan, Puerto Rico, where a night show at a casino was a highlight; and at Nassau in the Bahamas.

His remains were brought to his home in Sheridan and the funeral sermon was preached by Rev. I. N. Crittenden at the John Morgan house. He was buried in the burying ground at Barryville.” Nearly 50 years later, the construction of a dance hall resulted in the old chiefs name once again becoming a household word to many Nashville area families. “The mammoth new dancing pavilion at Thor­ napple Lake resort is to be dedicated tonight,” advised The Nashville News on June 18,1925. “Some time ago the managers of the resort announced that they would give suitable prizes for a name for the new pavilion. The first prize goes to Abe Carlton of Hastings, who proposed naming the pavilion ‘Chief As-Ka-Saw’ (phonetic spelling) in memory of the famous old chief of the tribe of Ottawa Indians who formerly lived at Thornapple Lake.” Asquesah had made his with his arms folded while home and that of his band the young bucks worked,” around the lake in the days of recalled Clarence. “Gran­ the earliest white settlers, dad said everybody liked who soon learned to love and Asquesah.” Clarence also recalls respect him. According to The News account of 1925, hearing of the chief’s initial Asquesah was something of encounter with Lorenzo a preacher and did con­ Mudge, who in 1837 became siderable missionary work the first white settler in among Indians over a far Castleton Township.

It was only after considerable effort on the part of the Mudges that their guests were persuaded that dining inside was acceptable. This encounter, says Clarence Higdon, sparked a lifelong friendship between the Mudges’ son, Earl, and a son of Chief Asquesah. The two boys soon became partners in “running” traps along' High Bank Creek. In later years, Asquesah’s son became a printer at a large firm in Grand Rapids. Another personal memory of Asquesah was passed down to Keith Mead of rural Hastings, who recounted it for us. His recollection came from his late friend, Carroll Cutler, who passed away in the mid-1970s at the age of nearly 90 years, a son of pioneer settlers at the west end of Thornapple Lake. The Cutlers lived in a log cabin on their farm on River Road where they raised sheep and cattle. (In the 1940s, Carroll Cutler had a new home built on the property, but up to that time he had continued to live in the log house.) “When he was a very young child,” remembers Mead, “Carroll was with his grandmother in the cabin and saw a face looking in at the north window. He was very frightened and his grandmother went to the door to see what was wan­ ted.” It was Chief Asquesah wanting some eggs, which he was given. “He then entered the house, went over to the firepla,ce, and got the iiron teakettle and filled it with water,” recalls Mead.. “He put the eggs in to boil with the comment, *no breakum’.” Cutler also told Mead that Asquesah kept a canoe and This wooden shoe with leather straps is reputed to have once belonged to Chief Asquesah. It was present­ ed to Putnam Public Library some time ago by the late Mildred (Purchis) Mater of Nashville and is now part of the library's local history collection. an iron kettle down by Thornapple Lake. “An Indian trail was east of Cutler’s house,” remembers Mead, “and it went back to limestone springs in the woods. Limestone may be seen there today on top of the ground, and also the springs.” Mead learned that the Indians also camped east of what is now Barger Road on high ground between Mud Creek and Thornapple River, and were there even in the early 1900s. When the first white set­ tlers put down roots in what is now the Village of Nash­ ville in the mid-1850s, their closest neighbors in the tiny settlement on the north bank of the Thornapple near present-day Putnam Park, were Indians. The comings and goings of the tribes in and around the Nashville area were recorded in many early issues of The News. Some years later the activities of white men would have been of keen interest to Chief Asquesah, observed the newspaper on June 25, 1925: “As-Ka-Saw, the famous old chief of the Ottawa tribe living at Thornapple Lake years ago, would have been uneasy in his grave if he could have witnessed the immense throng of ‘palefaces’ who gathered at the popular resort last Thursday evening to attend the opening of the fine large pavilion dedicated to his memory. The occasion found the spacious grounds filled with undoubtedly the largest crowd of guests ever en­ tertained at Thornapple, and the big dance hall... was literally packed with spectators and devotees of the terpsichorean art.” Chief Asquesah was resting at Barryville cemetery under a still­ standing headstone which declares that the old Indian has “Gone Home.” Gone Home" decla res the epitaph on Asquesah’s tombstone at Barryville cemetery. Also inscribed the words Indian Chief Asquesah, Died Feb. 20, 1876. Two lines of writing near the base of the marker are illegible.

The cheese for this area is scheduled to arrive from Wisconsin before mid­ March. Distribution in Barry County is scheduled for the week of March 14, starting March 16, but dates and times will vary with the various distribution sites. In the event the cheese does not arrive as scheduled, listen to your local radio and television stations for rescheduled distribution dates and times. Persons on low-sodium diets should be aware that this surplus cheese, like most processed cheese, has a high sodium content. A twoounce serving of cheese contains 636 milligrams of sodium. The National Research Council indicates that a “safe and adequate” sodium intake per day is about 1,100 to 3,300 milligrams for an adult. To be eligible to receive surplus cheese, a person­ family must have an income equal to or below 125 percent of the poverty income level. The income amounts for eligibility are as follows. The following is for non­ farm families, listed ac­ cording to size of family, 125 percent yearly, and non­ farm family monthly, respectively: one (size of family), $5,850 (125 percent yearly), $488 (non-farm family - monthly); two, $7,775, $648; three, $9,700, $808; four, $11,625, $969; five, $13,550, $1,129; six, $15,475, $1,290. The following is for farm families, listed according to size of family, 125 percent yearly, and- farm family monthly, respectively: one, $5,013, $418; two, $6,638, $553; three, $8,263; $688; four, $9,888, $824; five, $11,513, $960; six, $13,138, $1,095. Family units with over six members, add $1,925 yearly or $160 monthly for each additional member, in a non­ farm family add $1,625 yearly or $135 monthly for each additional member in a farm family. A farm residence is defined as “any. dwelling on a place of 10 acres or more with $50 or more annual sales offarm products raised there”, or any place “less than 10 acres having product sales of $250 or more”. Persons receiving Medicaid, General Assistance, F ood Stamps, Supplemental Security Income, or Aid to Families with Dependent Children fall within these income guidelines. These income criteria are applicable to all persons, including senior citizens. It has been determined by the Michigan Dept, of Labor that residents, of Foster Care Homes are also eligible for cheese; Stipends received by Foster .Grandparents should not be' included when determining income eligibility. The rate of issuance for the cheese is the same as before and is as follows, listed according to family size and amount of cheese respec­ tively: 1-4, 5 lbs. (one loaf); 5-over, 10 lbs. (two loaves). Because a number of shut­ ins meet the eligibility requirements, a represen­ tative for that person may pick up the cheese. It’s requested that the shut-ins write a note that includes the following information: identity of representative, and their own name, ad­ dress, and a form of iden­ tification to prove eligibility for cheese. Each person requesting the cheese should bring some form of identification as a method of verifying their eligiblity. Possible forms of identification include a Medicaid card, food stamp card, copy of SSI or a copy of Social Security check, a bank direct deposit slip, or an unemployment • NOTICE • Nashville Village Hall will be CLOSED for General Election Day on Monday, March 14,1983.

Right up to the last few days NSA has been averaging one gallon of syrup from 30 to 33 gallons of from page i sap boiled in the giant, gasfired evaporators at the shanty. To compare the uniqueness of the 1983 syrup season, Christiansen con­ sults large charts he has kent Garfield Wants YOU Come and join in the fun . .. • New Games • All New Prizes • Movies for Kids • Magic Shows • Clowns March 25 5:30-8:30 P.M.

Open Daily 9-6 Lot of NSA production over the past several years. Last year, for example, only 29 gallons had. been produced by the second boiling, which took place on March 12,1982. By that date this year, Christiansen is sure the season will be completed with close to 400 gallons of new syrup on the shelf. The 1982 syrup season ended on April 15, more than a month later than the an­ ticipated final boiling of this year’s sweet harvest. “It’s been a very good season for the kind of winter we had,” noted Christiansen, who said he has never seen such a mild winter in his 79 years. Christiansen said visitors last week at the Sugar Shanty included three men from Petoskey who reported that they were just com­ mencing to tap maples there for the ’83 season. Visitation at the shanty this year has been down, said Christiansen. He is unsure whether that is due to the economy or the unusually early season. He expects many city folks to make their annual trek to Nash­ ville at the usual time, not realizing that the season is so far ahead of schedule Toko Coro Of You FIBERGLASS BELTED WHITEWALL RADIALS P155/8OR13 - Our Reg. 48.97 34.97 SIZES REG.

Here, Paul Wetzel checks the density of one of the last batches of syrup brewed at Maple Manor last week. The flow of sap has come to a screeching halt because of the unseasonably warm weather. While visitors may not be able to see the boiling process, they will be'able to buy the finished product. NSA volunteers will be on hand at the shanty to sell syrup and maple sugar candy. NSA price per gallon is $18, down a dollar from last year. NSA syrup is also available at Mace Pharmacy, Comerica Bank and at Carl’s Market, all in Nashville. The village’s community sugar bush is an ongoing annual project launched in 1942 to combat a threatened wartime sugar shortage. Nearly every year since, the Special COA menus planned for holidays In celebration of the Chinese New Year March 8, the menu will consist of shrimp egg rolls, chicken chow mein, oriental stirfried vegetables and a for­ tune cookie. On March 17, in honor of St. Patrick’s Day, corned beef will be served along with cabbage, boiled potatoes and mint pears. As always milk, bread and margarine will be served with each meal. Coffee and tea are available. CARD OF THANKS I would like to thank all my neighbors and friends for the cards, letters, visits and all acts of kindness while I was in the hospital and since my return home. Special thanks to the V.F.W. for the benefit dance, Party Down, Rick Rodriguez and businesses in Nashville. Sincere gratitude to the community of Nashville for everything. You will always be remembered. Barbara Sprague and family civic projet has been carried on by volunteers and com­ munity organizations. Each succeeding year has seen gradual improvement in Nashville’s syrup-making system as new equipment was acquired and skills perfected. Now, Nashville syrup is produced under direction of the Nashville Syrup Association. Each season, proceeds of the project are divided among participating volunteers representing various groups, with “wages” based on manhours each donates to the jobs of washing buckets, tapping trees, collecting and hauling sap, boiling, canning the syrup, etc. Over the past 41 years the proejet has also grown in scope and size. That first season in 1942, when syrup sold for $2.50 a gallon, the project netted $250, most of which was used to buy jungle gym equipment for Nash­ ville’s school playground. Today the project provides a major source of revenue for several civic organizations which benefits the community as a whole.

The Lions trailed 15-13 by the end of the first quarter but battled back to within one, 34-33, by the half. Olivet gradually began to pull ahead in the third quarter and had built up a 10point lead with eight seconds to play in the period. A Valley field goal and free throw cut the margin to seven and a Mickey Mahon half-court shot with one second left narrowed the lead to 40-35 by the end of the third. The free-throw line became the enemy of Valley and an ally to Olivet in the final period. While the Lions netted five field goals in the last stanza, they could only manage five of 13 from the charity stripe.

SURROGATE PARENTING BILLS - Two bills have been introduced in the Michigan House of Representatives regarding the practice of surrogate parenting. The first bill would get guidelines regarding responsibilities of the parties involved, and the second bill would outlaw the practice in Michigan completely. STATE RECEIVES ENERGY CONSERVATION GRANT - The State of Michigan has been awarded a $900,000 grant to reduce the cost of energy conservation loans to low and moderate income households. The federal grant is from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development Solar Energy and Conservation Bank, and could help finance energy improvements for up to 3,200 residential units. The program allows qualified applicants to obtain loans from private sources, such as banks and savings and loan in­ stitutions, and the federal grant would then be used to lower the cost of the loan. HIGHER EDUCATION RESOLUTION A resolution urging Governor Blanchard to appoint a council to study Michigan’s higher education system and to recommend a course for the future has been introduced in the Michigan House of Representatives. The council’s function would include examining options for maintaining excellence in our colleges and universities in the face of declining enrollments and reduced state and federal support. TRAFFIC ACCIDENTS COST PLENTY The U.S. Department of Transportation recently reported that in 1980, over 51,000 people were killed and nearly four million were injured in highway accidents nationwide, with an economic loss of $57.2 billion. Michigan’s share bf that figure was $2.43 billion. In 1980, 1,774 persons were killed and 144,900 injured in Michigan highway accidents. The Secretary of State’s office estimated that if everyone wore seat belts, $270 million would have been saved.. The dollar figures are based on insurance costs, property damages, automobile damages, and the loss of earning capacities. BUS SYSTEMS GET FEDERAL AID - Thirty-three Michigan bus systems will receive a total of $2.6 million from the federal Urban Mass Transportation Act. The money will go to non-urban transit operators to help offset operating expenses, purchase equipment or provide technical planning assistance for public transit systems operating small services.

Nashville, Vol. Ill- No. 38 - Tuesday, March 15, 1983 Sick" time increased for Nashville Village employees by Susan Hinckley An improved sick-pay plan for all full-time village employees and supervisors was adopted Thursday by Nashville Village Council. The new schedule, which is retroactive to March 1, raises the annual sick time allottment from the present five days per year to ten days which can be ac­ cumulated up to 90 days. Other provisions of the plan give the department heads the perogative to send home a sick employee who cannot perform assigned duties. An employee taking over two consecutive days of sick time must have clearance from his depart­ ment head and may be requested to furnish a doctor’s okay. Stricken from the. new plan by the council’s policy committee, which studied the proposal after it was initially submitted two weeks ago by the police committee, was a provision that after 10 years of service, an employee, upon separation from the village, would be paid at one-half rate for unused sick time accumulated during his tenure of employment. That proposal drew fire at the February 25 meeting from some council members who felt that the village could not afford the pay-in-lieu-of-sicktime measure. ■> The village clerk will be responsible for keeping a record of sick time ac­ cumulated by each em­ ployee. In other business Thur­ sday, the council: — Approved President John Hughes’ recom­ mendation that Trustee Linda Frith, whose term of office expires March 31, be appointed to fill the vacancy created by the recent death of Trustee George Hermenitt. Mrs. Frith will take over Hermenitt’s post ef­ fective April 1 and will fill out his unexpired term, which ends March 31, 1984. — Approved purchase of a trailer-type street sweeper which will be towed behind a village truck to clean streets. The cost of the unit is $7,500 plus trade-in of the village’s present self-propelled sweeper, which officials say needs costly repair. The new unit is a demonstrator model which normally sells for $14,000, said Trustee George Frith. — Discussed halting a tree-cutting project on the village’s sewer treatment site on Brumm Road. Trustee Carl Tobias suggested stopping the project, which was con­ tracted by a private in­ dividual for one year com­ mencing October 14, 1983, because he claims the dead wood is not being removed first, as provided in the agreement. Other council members asked for time to investigate the matter before taking action. — Agreed to look into the cost of installing a sewer collection line to a proposed home-building site on the north side of West Casgrove Street. The line would run cross-lots from Center Court via a village-owned right-ofway and could possibly serve fou. other homes now on private septic systems. Council consensus was that the cost of time and Voters reaffirm primary decision elect Chaffee, Kent, Babcock Forrest Babcock Gerald Kent Nashville man named to MMPA board of directors Wayne Pennock SNayne Pennock of Nash­ ville has been chosen to represent district four on the board of directors . of the Michigan Milk Producers Association. He was elected, at a recent district delegate meeting, to succeed Marvin Lott of Mason. Pennock farms about 450 acres and milks 70 cows in partnership with a son and a son-in-law. MMPA is a milk marketing cooperative owned and controlled by 6,000 dairy farmers. The board of directors consists of one director from each of MMPA’s 11 districts and sixat-large directors. Richard Chaffee The results of Nashville’s general election Monday 'reaffirmed the decision made by voters in the village’s Feb. 21 primary. Republicans Richard Chaffee, Gerald Kent, and incumbent Forrest Babcock were elected to two-year terms as trustees. Losing in the race was Democratic candidate Lonnie Kienutske. The vote tally was Chaffee, 109; Kent, 105; Babcock, 90; and Kienutske, 33. Receiving one write-in vote each were Republicans Warren Travoli, Robert Fueri and Doug Aspinall. Democrat Laverne Decker received two votes. A total of 122 votes were cast. There were three spoiled ballots. Fueri. was unseated as a trustee in the primary. materials for installing the line should be borne by the potential users, but said no decision would be made until cost estimates of the project are completed. — Heard a report from President Hughes that Dunigan Bros., Inc. of Jackson, one of the con­ tractors on Nashville’s recently-completed $4.8 million sewer expansion project, is holding $983 that the council feels is due the village on installation of an underground drain on Kellogg Street to correct a problem which developed after the main collection line was laid. Hughes said that Dunigan officials stated that It’s official -3402 by Susan Hinckley A 12-year-old newcomer to Nashville, who expressed her feelings about her new surroundings in a Chambersponsored slogan-writing contest, was named winner last Thursday of that competition. She • is Melissa Geiseler, daughter of Mrs. Carol Gieseler of 6265 Thornapple Lake Road. The family moved there in December from the Woodland area where Melissa attended Lakewood schools. She is now a sixth grader at Kellogg School in Nashville and one of several students of teacher Vicki Polanski who entered the Chamber contest, open to persons of all ages with a Nashville address. Melissa’s winning slogan, “Welcome to Nashville, The Friendly Village”, was selected as the top entry at a Thursday night meeting of the Nashville Chamber of Commerce. For her con­ tribution, she will receive $25 in scrip money to be spent at any local Chamber-member business place. Melissa’s slogan will be used by the Chamber to welcome visitors to Nash­ ville at major highway entry points. At Thursday’s meeting, the proposed plan of erecting billboards was altered by the Chamber. The organization decided instead to in­ corporate the slogan in the green-colored state highway signs which currently mark the limits of the village. Through the cooperation of the Nashville Dept, of Public Works and the Michigan Dept, of Transportation, it will be included on the of­ ficial signs — a project to be paid for by the Chamber. Using the presentlyexisting signposts will be “much simpler,” said Chamber President Judy Quantrell. To finance the sign project, the Chamber currently is conducting a drawing, offering tickets at $1 donation each, with a top prize of $100 in scrip money and second prize of $50 scrip — redeemable for goods or services at any local Chamber-member business. At Thursday’s meeting, they are holding the money — a portion of a $4,325 check from the U.S. En­ vironmental Protection Agency, one of the grantors on the Nashville project — as “interest” on two con­ tractual payments which Dunigan officials said were not received within the specified time limit. is “friendly village the Chamber members agreed that merchants and store employees in the village are also eligible to participate in the drawing. Some had declined to buy tickets since they felt they were ineligible. The drawing will be conducted at noon on St. Patrick’s Day, March 17, at Comerica Bank on Main Street. One need not be present to win. In other business Thur­ sday, the Chamber discussed an Easter Egg Hunt planned for Saturday, April 2. It is hoped the event can be held on the grounds at Maple Valley Jr.-Sr. High School. For the past few years, it has been staged at Sandyland Park and prior to that, at Putnam Park. Carl’s Market ofNashville will organize the hunt again this year, but many other local merchants will contribute support for the event and donate prizes for the youngsters. Among future business promotions considered Thursday by the Chamber was a community-wide garage sale in which Chamber_ members hope “every household in Nash­ ville will join in.” The Chamber proposes to prepare a map to guide visitors to the village to the various homes where sales are being conducted that day. The merchants believe that extensive advertising of the event will bring an influx of bargain-hunters to Nash­ ville, which would benefit local businesses who plan to offer sidewalk sales or other specials in conjunction with the occasion. Chamber members also expressed the opinion that a village-wide garage sale would stimulate community interest in the Chamber of Commerce. Melissa Gieseler, 12, a student at Kellogg School in Nashville, was named winner last week of a Chamber of Commerce-sponsored slogan-writing contest aimed at promoting Nashville. Melissa's entry will be adapted by the Chamber as "The Friendly Village" and incorpor­ ated with state highway signs at three major entry points to Nashville, marking the village limits. Melissa earned $25 in scrip money for her contribution.

Five persons injured in a two-car accident at the in­ tersection of M-66 and State Road, two miles north of town, were transported to Pennock Hospital in Hastings by Nashville ambulance about 1:30 p.m. Sunday. One was admitted immediately to the Intensive Care Unit, said an am­ bulance official- According to a preliminary report, both vehicles were northbound on M-66 when one attempted to pass the other just as the first car made a left-hand turn onto State Road. Within three minutes of receiving that call, the Nashville ambulance was summoned south of town to transport a heart attack victim to Pennock Hospital. Names of the injured parties were not available at the time of this report. News on Main Street last week was of criminal ac­ tivity and vandalism. An attempted break-in at Mace Pharmacy occurred in the early morning hours of Monday, March 7, but entry to the business area of the building was not gained. Late Friday or early Saturday morning, damage was sustained at Comerica Bank, located just south of the pharmacy. Five large, fist-sized rocks were pitched through a large window at the rear of the bank, scat­ tering myriad shards of glass through a conference room. Officials attribute the destruction to vandalism rather than to attempted entry of the building. The window was replaced Saturday by a Battle Creek firm summoned shortly after the damage was discovered by bank personnel reporting to work. Rev.

In a recent letter, former local resident Wayne Fuller of Toledo commented on several recent Memories stories and gave an account which proves “it’s a small world after all.” He wrote: “The name of Ted Townsend was mentioned (in a recent Memories). He became a dentist and practiced in Lypsic, Ohio, which is south of here. About 50 years ago there was a big fire at the Willys-Overland plant in Toledo. I went there to see the excitement and ran into Ted and a friend of his who were in Toledo for a few hours and decided to view the fire also. It was one of those one-in-a-million shots that you experience once in a while.” Fuller added that Ted has been dead for quite some time now, and that he had a brother, Robert, of whom Fuller has lost track. In his letter, Fuller also asked if we know whatever became of Howard Caley, who also was mentioned in a recent Memories. As we understand it, the Caley family lived on Cleveland Street. Perhaps some of our readers can answer Fuller’s question. The Mayo-Evans Birthday Club met recently at the home of Maxine Pbdey for a delicous potluck dinner.

Harold Christiansen, president of the Nashville Syrup Association, will present a program called “Sugaring Off”. Held at the Nashville Community Center, the program portion of the evening will be preceded by a short business meeting. “From Christiansen, society members will learn something of the history of making sugar and syrup from the tapped sap of maple trees, and the kinds of maples which produce the sugary sap and the kinds which don’t,” the society said. “Additionally, they should gain a better idea of how the product is obtained, from tapping the trees to the final delicious confections.” President Barbara Furrow will hold a short business meeting with reports from committees. A nominating committee will be appointed to choose officers and board of directors members for the following year and a report on a site for society files is expected from Gordon Barlow.

Then I drove the buggy until it also fell apart. The last time I drove it the rim came off one wheel and half of the spokes were gone. It would slide along until the spoke hit a rut and then it would tap, tap along until the few spokes gave out, then it would go ‘kaplunk.’ “(Once) I had to stop to get some honey en route home.

Some of those were Harvey Cheeseman, Joel Balch and Georgie Marshall. “One night Harvey was taking home groceries which happened to be kerosene and flour. They used to put a potato over the spout of kerosene cans but this one had come off and it spouted (fuel) all over the flour. “Peggy Gearhart also rode horseback and we met at the three bridges, three miles south of town. She came from Kalamo way and I from the west. One day she came in on a two- wheel cart and we were driving down Main Street and unbeknown to us someone took our picture. We met Dot Brown later and she said, ‘I hear you are trying to rival Mary Pickford’ and explained that our picture was shown in the movies.” Kenneth A. Meade of Franklin, graduated, from NHS in 1921. The son of Arthur and Jessie (Robin­ son) Meade, he grew up in the Castleton district nor­ thwest of town on the homestead which has been in the family since 1838 when the land was purchased by his great- grandfather Thomas Blaisdell. Meade Nearly every rural student who commuted to classes remembers the challenge of at Nashville High School via "horse power" knew Jim traveling from the farm to and Flora ("Ma") Taylor. The students stabled their attend school in town. “In the years I attended horses at Taylor's livery barn on South Main Street, where "Ma" dished outt a generous helping of love Nashville High School and concern to all youngsters of the community.

There were a. few months in Acquiring a high school education before the days of Nashville’s school consolidation posed a real challenge to rural students. They faced two almost immediate hurdles: first to prove that they were academically qualified to enter the town school system and then to find means of daily transportation between farm home and village school - often a distance of five miles or more. To show that they were as skilled in basics of education as their town peers, rural eight- graders were com­ pelled to pass a countyadministered test if they wished to enter ninth grade in the town school. Many country youngsters, having completed eighth grade in rural schools, opted to conclude their education at that point. Finances often played as big a role in this decision as did academic ability or perserverance. Many rural students in the Nashville area took the county test in a two- day session at Hastings, often riding the train to the county seat for the event. With that step successfully completed, the country kids began to plan ways of getting to Nashville to attend classes. For some it meant boarding with relatives or family friends in the village. Others accepted the daily challenge of covering the miles in all kinds of weather on foot, by bicycle, with horse and buggy or cutter, and in later years, by auto. Some of those who made the trek in various ways to acquire a high school diploma in Nashville have reminisced about those experiences for us and we are pleased to present their recollections here. Before consolidation of individual rural districts into Nashville's school system, eighth grade graduates from the country paid tuition to attend high school in the village. In 1938 the Kellogg addition was added to this 1902 building to house the influx of rural elementary students brought in by consolidation, a process which commenced in the 1930s and took about 20 years to complete. which I rode a bicycle over the ten mile round trip from the farm on Eaton Road to school and back. As I remember I had a lot of trouble with chains that broke on the bike so I walked and pushed the bike more than I rode it. Then, too, I had little protection from showers that came up while en route. “During the last year I drove my dad’s Model T Ford some of the time because that year my sister Mabel was also attending high school. “Most of the time during my high school years I commuted via horse and buggy. Most of the time the horse, Daisy, was lodged at Ma Taylor’s livery stable where I went at noon to give her oats and water. Sometimes I ate my own lunch there before going back to school. Sometimes Daisy was lodged at Parker’s livery barn on North Main Street. “Old Daisy was a won­ derful horse and many people knew her. In my latter years of high school when I had dates and came home late in the evening, I could tie the reins to some part of the buggy, fall asleep and Daisy would make her way to the farm. When she arrived at the door of the horse barn she would kick the door,I would wake up and put her in her stall. We never had an accident. “Many other boys and girls who came into Nash­ ville from the country to attend school also commuted by horse and buggy, and I believe a few boys rode horseback. Some different from today with bus tran­ sportation from door to door. “Another interesting thing about attending high school back in the teen years - each of us from the rural districts had to pay tuition each semester to attend high school. I believe the amount was ten dollars each semester. The rest was paid by the local country school M district, I believe. We bought our own books, too. were passed down from rom one member in a family to the next. “Most of my memories of those ose days aysare are happy appyones. ones.” Wayne Fuller of Toledo, Ohio, graduated from NHS in 1926. The son of Mr. and Mrs. Frank Fuller, he lived in the Quailtrap school district of Maple Grove Township, south of Nashville. He writes: “When I went to high school (in Nashville) my transportation was horse and buggy. In the winter I used a cutter. A good many times I would walk some of the time behind the cutter to keep warm. “There was no hot lunch program at noon for me. I carried my food in a lunch bucket. Once in a while my Grandmother Fuller would have me over for noon lunch. She would serve codfish gravy and boiled potatoes. I thought that was the most delicious thing going. They lived on Sherman Street and there was a barn on the lot where I kept my horse. “I got my Three R’s in the one room Quailtrap School and I got them well... I think my early schooling and effort needed to get it was far ahead of today’s system. We have far too much socialism in things now. People in this age believe that the government owes them a living. “Many kids coming out of our high schools cannot even fill out an employment ap­ plication. Kids that started out when I did became rugged individuals and they were motivated to get ahead.” For four years Myrtle Marshall made a daily 14-mile round trip to Nashville to earn her high school diploma in 1917. During that time she wore out both aa buggy and a cutter and finally resorted to riding horseback to attend classes. • Shamrocks & • Flowering Plants > & < • Violets • Plants • Cut Flowers • Silks 4 ft €5 Wire Service H * Grandma's Greenery ^8 Washington St. - P.O.

Sponsored by Eaton Intermediate School District (EISD) in cooperation with eight area school districts, the com­ petition affords op­ portunities for students to compete in three separate divisions: - Quick Calculation, in which students are tested for speed and accuracy. - Dual Dig, in which students work in pairs to solve mathematical problems. - Math Jeopardy, in which four person teams pit themselves against other teams to score points. This competition recognizes those students who excell in math and encourages teamwork and cooperation rather than strictly individual effort. Both high scoring teams and high scoring individuals will receive certificates of award. A supplementary benefit is the enjoyment students have learning their math in this fashion. Plaques are also awarded at each grade level to the schools scoring the highest number of total points. Thirty two (32) students from each of the following school districts (eight from each grade) will travel to Olivet College for the event: Bellevue, Charlotte, Eaton Rapids, Grand Ledge, Olivet, Potterville. Maple Valley, and Waverly. The activities begin in the Mott Auditorium at 9:15 a.m. with competitions taking place throughout the mor­ ning. Following lunch, awards will be presented to students in a special ceremony at Mott Auditorium at 1:30 p.m. For more information about the event, interested persons may call Barbara J. Davis, coordinator for the event, at Eaton Intermediate School District, or their local Math Day Coordinating Council member.

Today, Irish descendants celebrate the occasion with parades, parties and green apparel. But they maintain the Shamrock as the symbol of the deeper meaning ofthe day: pride in their faith and their beliefs. For what St. Patrick and others did through­ out the centuries was exactly what all of us should do, to the best of our ability: set the example and thereby encourage those around us to attend the Church of their choice, where they will learn that we are all the children of God, no matter where we live on this earth.

Participating in the outing were five troops represen­ ting the Eaton County communities of Bellevue, Eaton Rapids, Charlotte and Vermontville. Coordinating the event was Mrs. Joyce Rathburn of Vermontville. Other Girl Scout leaders and several adult volunteers helped with the program which included tours of Vermontville’s Chapel­ Academy museum; the old Opera House; and Merle Martin’s Sugar Shanty. Also on the agenda was a session to learn the craft of soap-carving in the Griswold Room at the First Congregational Church. There the youngsters also enjoyed a sack lunch and later concluded the day with a "stir” — turning hot maple syrup into sugar candy. For the trip to the Martin farm, the girls enjoyed a hayride with horses and wagon provided by Carroll Wells of Vermontville. Other local adult volun­ teers who aided in the day’s events were Dema Wright, who gave instructions in soap-carving; Yulanda McClure, guide at the Opera House; Norma and John Viele, who furnished and cooked the maple syrup for Dishing up the finished product on a square of waxed paper is Carol Holton, a Charlotte Girl Scout. the candy stir; and members of the Vermontville Historical Society who served as tour guides at the museum.

Fruit pruning demonstration set Whether you are planning a new orchard for the backyard or renovating an older planting, the Cooperative Extension Service has planned a pruning demonstration for you. The Country Mill, 4648 Otto Road, Charlotte, will be the host farm for the event scheduled for Saturday, March 19,1983 from 2 to 3:30 p.m. Topics to be covered include: training young apple trees, pruning mature apple trees, insect and disease control and other suggestions and tips for a successful home 'orchard. The demonstration is free of charge and open to all interested persons. Since the event will be held outside, persons are reminded to dress according to the weather. The Exchange is unique in that exhibitors will be women who own or co- own businesses in the Barry County area. Invitations to participate have been sent to many area businesswomen; however, since there is no complete listing of woman -owned or co- owned businesses, anyone who wishes to exhibit who has not already been contacted is also invited to participate. Complete in­ formation is available by contacting Ruth Hughes at 852-1978 or Sharon Kermeen at 795-3525. The only qualification, in addition to the business being owned or co- owned by a woman, is that the business be the participant’s source of in- come, a regular job, and not for those who do things for a hobby or part time. The Exchange will provide an opportunity for par­ ticipants to write orders or make direct sales; a chance to start or add to a mailing list; an introduction to other women in business; and a nice change of pace from the workplace. The public is cordially invited to attend the First Annual Business Women’s Exchange and experience the many and varied womanowned and co­ owned businesses in the area. A food booth will be open during the entire exhibit There is no charge to the public for admission to the Community Building.

CITIZEN’S ELEVATOR CO. 870 S. Main, Vermontville Phone 726-0514 �The Maple Valley News. Nashville, Tuesday, March 15. 1983 — Page 12 Infection linked to malnutrition in study elderly person’s ability to produce a fever, one measure of the body’s response to infection. Fever results when white blood cells produce a protein called endogenous pyrogen, or E.P., after coming in contact with germs that invade the body. E.P. is released in the blood stream, travels to the brain, and there triggers the thermal regulation system to elevate body temperature, producing fever. Once thought to be an unnecessary side effect of illness, fever is now believed to help the body kill germs. Animal studies, performed several years ago by Mat­ thew Kluger, M.D., with whom Kauffman works, suggest that fever speeds the body’s recovery from in­ fection. Kauffman’s first study looked at E.P. production in the elderly to determine if older adults produce less. If so, they would probably maintain a lower body temperature when infected, and might have less disease resistance than the young. Kauffman studied two groups of healthy adults — one aged 65-91, many of whom reside in Glacier Hills, a community of older people in Ann Arbor, and one aged 18-38x She found E.P. production for individuals in the groups to be virtually the same. Participants of all ages produced adequate amounts of E.P. to stimulate a fever, with its resulting benefits. Malnutrition may cause Medicine. “Pneumococcal the high incidence of in­ fection experienced by the pneumonia, for example, elderly, according to occurs seven times more research underway at the frequently in older people.” Ann Arbor Veterans Ad­ Diseases such as influenza, ministration Medical Center. and medical ills like ab­ Overall, older people scesses and urinary tract experience signifcantly infections are also more more infectious disease than frequent in the elderly.

Kauffman and her as a professor of Internal Medicine at the University of colleague, Paula Jones, Michigan School of M.D., began by studying the Engagements Mater - Newton to wed Mr. and Mrs. John L. Mater are pleased to an­ nounce the engagement of their daughter Candace Loraine, to Gary Duane Newton, son of Mr. and Mrs. Laurel Newton. Candace is a 1981 graduate of Maple Valley High School and attended Grand Rapids Baptist College. She is presently employed at Jackson National Life in Lansing. Gary is a 1980 graduate of Hastings High School. He is presently a licensed well driller working for his father at Newton’s Well Service. A May 21 wedding is being planned. Her results differed strikingly when malnourished patients were studied, however. These hospitalized patients were suffering from protein and calorie deficits that generally resulted from illnesses such as cancer, chronic infection or bowel disease. Malnourished patients of all ages “produced significantly less E.P.” than well-nourished patients of the same ages, the resear­ cher noted. Their disease resistance might thus be substantially reduced. This finding, if confirmed in further research, offers great promise for treatment, Kauffman stressed. “It’s a problem we can do something about. We can improve nutrition and probably improve the patient’s resistance to in­ fection.” Older people, who are more likely to suffer from malnutrition due to apathy, illness or incapacity, are particularly likely to benefit. The researcher is now attempting to determine if the body may respond to E.P. differently with age. If so, although adequate E.P. may be produced by the elderly, lower fevers may result, so the body would offer less resistance to disease. The researcher is offering free vaccination for typhoid and cholera to community members aged 65 and older as part of this study. These shots are often recom- With Exchange Open Daily sale Meet the Syrup Festival Court Katerina Brumm Katerina Brumm of 133 Seminary St. in Ver­ montville is one of the lovelies on the village’s 1983 maple syrup festival court. The daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Charles Brumm, Katerina enjoys hobbies of traveling, arts and crafts, and cars. Her extra-curricular activities include data processing, conversational Greek, and choir. In her application for festival royalty, she suggested that the event could be improved with more advertising throughout the state and more syrup stands at the festival. Katerina said she also mended to those who will be traveling to underdeveloped countries. Kauffman is using the vaccines as a beneficial and controlled means of testing the body’s response to a substance that causes fever as one of its side effects. Any significant difference that she observes between the response of the young and old could signal an agerelated change in the body’s response to infectious diseases. “The studies should help us (physicians) determine if we need to approach old people differently,” Kauff­ man said. For example, if older people develop lower fevers when infected, physicians should become alert to smaller variations in temperature that may signal infectious disease in the elderly. “If infections are accomp'anied by lower tem- would like to see more variety in the activities for families to watch and enjoy. Better parking arrangements would be an important improvement, she said. peratures, or if nourishment affects resistance, we will need to change our response,” she stressed. Improved care for the elderly should result. Any community member who wishes to receive free vaccination for cholera or typhoid as a participant in the study should contact Kauffman at the Ann Arbor VA Medical Center, (313) 769-7100, extension 705.

The horse health program is one of the more than 170 educational seminars and workshops offered during Farmers’ Week and Natural Resources Days, March 21­ 25. The week’s activities are open to the public. “The purpose of the program is to provide horse owners with an update on horse health and to give them a look toward the futures,” says Ken Gallagher, MSU Cooperative Extension Service equine veterinarian. Gallagher says Eastern Equine Encephalitis has been a problem in Michigan for several years and rhinopneumonitis (viral abortion) is becoming more common. During the session, Gallagher will discuss the probability of disease occurence and make recom­ mendations for the prevention of sleeping sickness and rhinop­ neumonitis. Other program topics include the use of laser treatments for soreness and inflammation of horses’ legs, horse parasite control and a look at veterinary practice in England. The featured speaker for this topic is Dr. Brian Sin­ clair. He is portrayed as Tristan in James Harrier's series ofnovels, which began with “All Creatures Great and Small.” Participants will also have an opportunity to tour the MSU horse barns and the new reproduction facility Details of Farmers’ Week and Natural Resources Days are listed in a free guidebook available at the Eaton County Cooperative Extenison Service. �The Maple Valley News, Nashville, Tuesday, March 15, 1983 — Page 13 News from BarryEaton district Health Department There have been 29 (Eaton) and 6 (Barry) reported cases of chicken­ pox and 9 (Eaton County) of scarlet fever since January 1. More than the average number of strep infections were also reported. To avoid complications, such as rheumatic fever, we strongly urge parents to seek medical care for a child complaining of a persistent sore throat. PRICEBREAKERS Though there were a large number of flu cases, the percentage was low enough that only one school closing (Olivet) was necessary in the Barry- Eaton District. Appreciation to parents for keeping sick children home! The Health Department appreciates the cooperation of those schools, which, in February, excluded newlyentering (to the school district) students until they met the State of Michigan immunization requirements.

The Maple Valley News, Nashville, Vol. Ill- No. 39 - Tuesday, March 22, 1983 MV board votes to purchase microcomputers with federal grant funds The Maple Valley Board of Education has approved the purchase of 11 computers with grant funds as recommended by staff members. These computers will be used in all school buildings. A network of eight TRS 80 model Ill’s will be in use at the junior-senior high school. High School Prin­ cipal Burr Hartenburg stated that the staff hopes to have at least one class per semester open to seniors in computer literacy. Other hours of the day this equipment would be available to other classes and their instructors. The board approved spending part of these grant funds for the purchase of two Commodore 65 computers for Fuller St.-Kellogg in­ cluding some software. One Apple II computer was approved for Maplewood Elementary. The P.T.O. organizations in each community earlier approved the purchase of computers and programs for the elementary buildings. The Fuller St.-Kellogg P.T.O. has purchased four Commodore computers including soft­ ware and other supplies. The Maplewood P.T.O. has purchased one Apple computer along with related supplies. Staff members working on the computer study com­ mittee included elementary teacher Clara Arvizu, Sandy Dent, and Dave Doozan. Junior-senior high staff members included Jerry Reese, Steve MacDonald and Tom Taylor. Bill Christensen was the administrator working with these staff members. In selecting the different brands of computers, the staff carefully considered the programs available and the relative cost of the computer itself. The cost of an Apple IIE with disk drive and color monitor and soft­ ware is $1,800. The cost of a Commodore is $746.25 plus the disk drive unit at $300. The funds for the purchase of the 11 machines are from a federal grant to Maple Valley that amounts to $12,800. These funds are restricted to materials or equipment that is of a lasting nature that will be used directly with students. Maplewood second grade teacher Laura Smith and two of her students, Joey Lynd and Aaron Smith, made a presentation on the Apple II computer. General fund bills in the amount of $31,983.12 were approved for payment. The Spring arrives with wintry blast The first day of spring in Nashville is a scene that brought misery to area residents, but it may bring some consolation to local snowbirds who’ve been wonder­ ing all winter why they bothered to fly south when their home state was enjoying temperatures in the 60s and 70s. Michigan's mildest winter on record came to an abrupt end Sunday evening. By Monday morning snow shovels were out of storage and into use — for most, their appearance since the winter of '81-82.

Arrangements have been made to stage Nashville’s annual Easter Egg Hunt at Sandyland Park again this After a springlike winter so mild that it broke all-time weather records kept since 1894, Mother Nature turned the tables and gave us a taste of winter on the first day of spring — which arrived officially at 11:39 p.m. Sunday. Chilly readings in the mid-20s, a biting wind and gusty blasts of snow were all part of the weather package that ushered in the new season. Hazardous driving conditions prompted cancellation of Monday classes at Maple Valley schools. Many secondary roads were plugged with wind-blown snow drifts. A ““read-in read-in”” for youngsters, fourth through sixth grades, will be held at Putnam Public Library on Saturday, April 16, under sponsorship of the Friends of the Library.

Mrs. Adams believes the photo was taken during her senior year (she graduated from NHS in 1917) as she borrowed the horse — named “Walter” — for tran­ sportation to school one week during the 12th grade while her regular steed was being used in field work on the Ostroth farm. Mabel boarded the borrowed horse at Taylor’s livery barn on South Main while she at­ tended classes, as did many rural students of that era. Some of our readers may recall “Walter” as the horse featured in earlier Memories stories about Nashville’s original Armistice Day celebration — an impromptu parade that occurred on November 11, 1918, when word was received here that an armistice had ended the first World War. Many of our older readers may have been on hand that day to see “Walter”, ridden by Leslie Adams, drag an effigy of Germany’s deposed monarch “Kaiser Bill” up and down Main Street. A popular and well-known local horse, “Walter” was an unusually long-maned animal that was born almost totally black the year the war began but had turned white by the time the conflict ended. A photo of him dragging the effigy, hastily fashioned by Adams and friends, was seen in a Memories of the Past published on November 7, 1979, and reprinted on November 10, 1981. Happy Birthday! to Nash­ ville. On Saturday, March 26, the village will mark the 114th anniversary of its incorporation. It was on March 26,1869, that Henry P. Baldwin, governor of Michigan, signed the Act of Incorporation officially creating the Village of Nash­ ville. That occurred about 15 years after the first white settlers put down roots on the north banks of the Thor­ napple near present-day Putnam Park. In a program to aid the needy throughout the world, the local United Methodists will observe “One Great Hour of Sharing” during Sunday morning services, March 27. Offerings received Farm Insurance?

Pastor Robert Taylor of the Nashville Assembly of God extends an open in­ vitation to the community to attend a showing at 7 p.m. Sunday, March 27 of the film “Reflections of His Love”.

McOmber felled, on his place in Maple Grove, one of the giants of the forest. It was a mammoth whitewood that measured inside the bark four feet and two inches in diameter.

The ice on Thor­ napple Lake still is more than 20 inches thick, and it looks as if nothing less than June sunshine will be needed to melt it. 1880.. . Business men would do well to install more hit­ ching rails in Nashville’s trading section, as there frequently are more teams in town than hitching places. Saturday afternoon more than 200 teams and rigs were counted on Main Street alone. 1881.. . Village election drew 273 votes Monday and the three tickets, Citizens’; Peoples’; and the Young Men’s, all had some measure of success, as the winning candidates represent all three. Dr. Wm. H. Young won the race for president by a narrow majority over Orno Strong (editor-publisher of The Nashville News). 1882.. .

Tha-t was the number counted on a busy Saturday afternoon in March 1880 and reported in The Nashville News with the admonition that merchants would be wise to install more hitching rails in the business district. The McDerby Block, that hosted 600 Barry County Republicans at a March 1900 banquet, is barely visible at extreme left in this 1906 photo. Born in New York in 1867, Fred G. Baker came to Nashville in 1883 and soon opened the first of a string of stores which, due to his adventurous lifestyle, took him from "rags to richess" and back again many times before his death in 1945. In March 1887 he launched a Main Street news stand selling notions and school supplies; later he expanded to groceries and general merchandise in various locations.

Young, prominent Nashville physician who has been ill for the past two weeks, has been dangerously near death’s door the past week, his malady having developed into pneumonia. Doctors from Ann Arbor, Battle Creek and Grand Rapids have attended him, but little hope is being held for his recovery. 1902.. . The electric lights went out again Wednesday evening, just as the big show by the Stutz Theatre Com­ pany was about to begin at the opera house. Fortunately the place was provided with good kerosene lamps, and the show went on. 1903.. . The common council has passed an or­ dinance which provides that all dogs running at large must be muzzled.

They have been learning about remedies and prevention of various types of pollution and also about jobs relating to treatment of pollution. In connection with that study, the children Tuesday were guests of the Village of Nashville for tours of the new municipal wastewater treatment laboratory and also of the water pumping station of Water Alley. Village employee Arden Schantz conducted the tour arid fielded questions from the 22 youngsters whose interest in the subject was reflected in their thoughtful queries on the., topics of pollution and treatment.

Her works have been displayed in major exhibitions, as well as on a number of network television programs. More recently, her illustrations and paintings have become the basis for a major line of greeting cards, plaques, and framed prints. According to Robert Taylor, pastor of Assembly of God, “Reflections of His Love” introduces the viewer to “the real Joni Eareckson. We meet her parents, her sisters, and her friends. We gain insight into the thoughts of the actors who played major roles in the movie, “Joni”, as we learn of her new personal ministry, Joni and Friends.” Pastor Taylor added that “the determination and the depth of trust and faith that this young lady has developed can serve as an inspiration to us all. Although she is a quadriplegic, and does not have the use of her legs or arms, we actually witness her drive a van in this film. It’s much more than a great physical and technical feat — it’s a credit to her inner spirit.” Pastor -Taylor has ex­ tended an open invitation to the community at large to attend this special screening. There is no ad­ mission charge. “We feel everyone who attends, will be touched by the remarkable life and witness of Joni Eareckson. It’s really an unforgettable experience,” he concluded. His hobbies: drinking out of tub faucet, sleeping in waterbed, fighting with people, likes to play in street, and loves to be put in a trance. ---- O'------ Contest Sponsored by NASHVILLE COOP ELEVATOR 301 South Main, Nashville Jack & Judy s Country Kettle Cafe HOURS Starting MARCH 25th OPEN: Mon.,Tues.,Wed.,Thurs. 6 am 8 pm OPEN: Fri., Sat. & Sun. 6am 10pm HomeCooked Meals HOMEMADE Bread & Biscuits HOMECOOKED Daily Specials SOUP and CHILI We're the Restaurant on the West side of the Street... next to Kelley's Variety. 113 Main St Nashville Phone 852-1551 323234853484848232353482348532323482348235348482 �March 22,1983 — Page 6 The Maple Valley News,Nashville, Tuesday, Wednesday, Clarence and cont.

School Board meeting continued from front A bid of $1,478 was received from a supplier outside the school district, and it was decided to purchase within the school district Charles Viele voted against it. Transportation supervisor Gerald Aldrich reported that the school bus fleet was given a high rating during the recent bus inspection by the inspectors from the state police division. All the busses were approved. Ronald and Linda Wheeler presented a bid on the building trades house through realtor Homer Winegar. The bid was to rent the house for one year with the option to purchase the house at the end of one year. The board members voted not to accept the offer as presented. Board members Dale Ossenheimer and David Hawkins voted against the resolution. It was decided to have the building and grounds committee meet with Mr. and Mrs. Wheeler. The regular meeting of the board of education will be held on Monday, April 18 instead of April 11. The meeting will be held in the administration building at 7 p.m. Approval was given the spring sports coaches as recommended by athletic director Larry Lenz: boys’ high school track, Jim Horn and Wayne Kirwin; girls’ high school track, Sharlot Williams; high school varsity baseball, Larry Lenz; high school varsity softball, Chris Ricketts; high school junior varsity baseball, Terry Mix and Mike Kenyon; high school junior varsity softball, Bill Varney; and junior high track, Roger Trowbridge. A resolution was approved scheduling the annual school election for Monday, June 13. Two members will be elected to the board of education for four year terms. Nominating petitions may be obtained at the office of the superin­ tendent of schools. Petitions must be filed with secretary, board of education not later than 4 p.m Monday, April 11. The terms of Virginia Fox and Charles Viele, Sr. expire June 30. Letters of concern were received from the building teacher representatives and administrators encouraging the board of education to support sufficient millage which could operate the district with at least minimal requirements. They recommended that no fur­ ther cuts be made in teaching supplies, student supplies, textbooks, equipment and furniture replacement and no reductions in teaching staff unless possibly through retirement. School board policies covering school district organization and school board operation were ap- proved on the second presentation. The first presentation was made on General school ad­ ministration policies and these were referred back to the policy committee. Action was tabled regarding administrator salaries. The negotiation team will be meeting with the administrators and also the non-teaching employee groups. Approval was given for a senior trip to Florida with the seniors leaving on Saturday, May 7 and returning on Friday, May 13. The students will fly from Capitol City Airport in Lansing. February 18 payroll in the amount of $98,872.37 and the March 4 payroll in the amount of $107,130.84 were approved for payment and transfer to the payroll ac­ count. In other business, March 14, Superintendent Carroll Wolff reported that the school district still not received the balance of the February state aid in the amount of $226,172, plus the fact that the school district still has $64,364 in state aid due from the August state aid payment. The financial outlook becomes even more severe when state department of education personnel are indicating that school districts may not receive the April state aid payment, he said. Last fall the school district received state approval to borrow $525,000 against anticipated state aid to meet general fund expenses. At this time, the school district has borrowed $310,000 of this approved amount and has repaid $50,000, leaving a balance outstanding of $260,000. State department per­ sonnel have stated that the state will release funds only to those districts that have inadequate cash on hand to meet payrolls and have officially attempted to borrow against both an­ ticipated state aid and property tax revenues. Presently the receipt of property taxes is meeting payrolls and paying general fund bills. The board of education voted not to at­ tempt to obtain state ap­ proval to borrow additional funds above the $525,000 already approved con­ sidering the state aid due the school district.' The school district could easily face a financial crisis in early May if the state does not pay the school district the state aid that is due the district, Wolff said. The board voted to pur­ chase an air compressor with an 80 gallon tank from Nashville Auto and Farm Supply at the bid price of $1,489. This is a replacement for the old tank presently being used at the bus garage. Nashville woman gets MSI) degree Rebecca J. Erwin of 429 S.

Later, the group adjourned to the nearby Community Center for a business meeting and refreshments. Harold Christiansen, longtime head of Nashville Syrup Association, presented the program on syrup- making. He told how, under direction of HSA, volunteers annually tap Nashville’s maples to produce hundreds of gallons of syrup, netting several thousand dollars to be split among participating com­ munity organizations. Nashville’s annual “civic sugar bush” project was launched in 1942 to combat a threatened wartime sugar shortage. In the past 41 years it has grown in scope and size. That first season, 250 gallons of syrup were produced and sold for $2.50 each. This year 510 gallons of top- quality syrup were produced by NSA in what Christiansen, 79, terms the “shortest season I can remember.” The 1983 price is $18 a gallon. The just concluded season was less than half the normal 6 weeks period of syrup making, said Christiansen. “We knew it was going to be a short season because of the warm weather.” He told the BCHS that the NSA was pleased with the short season because they had a good stock of syrup on hand from last year’s bumper crop of 815 gallons. In 1980 NSA produced a record 1,300 gallons, and since it keeps well over several years there has been no shortage of syrup on the shelves. During Thursday’s presentation, Christiansen told how sap is collected by local scouts, who tap trees in the village and net $5.25 for every gallon of syrup produced. He explained how the sugar content of sap affects the quality of the finished product, and showed the way sap - some 30 to 40 gallons to produce just one gallon of syrup - is boiled down in giant gas- fired evaporators in the Sugar Shanty. “The color of the syrup is governed by the length of NOTICE to Maple Syrup & Sugar Lovers!! Our syrup shanty will be OPEN on SUNDAYS from 12 Noon to 5 P.M. for your convenience — even if no boiling is being done. Boiling depends on the weather — so come on out any­ way.

CYCLONE SPREADER | LAWN ROLLER FOR RENT time it is in the evaporator,” said Christiansen. “That’s why high test sap is better.” The long boiling process requires close attention and patience. “You have to be on your toes,” said Christiansen. “One little blockage in the lines (of sap flowing into the evaporator) and you burn up your pans.” Christiansen said he and his longtime “right hand man” Nelson Brumm are usually on duty during the boiling sessions in the Shanty. This year, he notes, they have finally recruited a younger person to begin learning the procedure. Each season, “wages” are credited to each volunteer in the project, based on manhours each contributes to the tasks of washing buckets, tapping trees, collecting co ecng an and hauling aung sap, boiling and canning the syrup, etc. Christiansen said for the past two years he has donated his wages to maintenance of the plant. The Sugar Shanty was constructed in the late 1950s. Prior to that, boiling for Nashville’s civic syrup­ making project was done at various locations in the village. Also in the past years, Christiansen has donated his yearly “syrup wages” to set out new maple saplings in Nashville to replenish the supply of century old trees which line the village streets and parks, and which play such a crucial role in benefitting the community at large.

March 29, 1983 Council members sworn in; clerk to handle paper work on pension plan by Susan Hinckley In order to conserve money they determined was being spent needlessly, the Nashville council voted Thursday not to renew a contract with Michael Witt and Associates of Muskegon to manage a pension plan for village employees. That decision does not change the status of the pension plan, which is a mutual fund through Jackson National Life Insurance Company. Village President John Hughes reported Thursday that in a recent discussion with another independent insurance agent who represents the same com­ pany, he learned the village clerk could handle the paperwork now being done by Witt and Associates. Hughes also stated that the agent from Lansing told him that he personally would not have charged the village a fee for managing the plan since the, selling agent (which Witt is) gets a commission out of pension plan payments made over a five year period. “It is ludicrous to spend money we don’t have to spend,” said Hughes. He added that the insurance company is the “custodian” of the mutual fund and handles administration of it. The contract with Witt and Associates, which will be terminated effective April 1, cost the village $475 an­ nually. Under the annuity pension plan, village employees may voluntarily contribute up to four percent of their wages. EASTER lime To Rejoice Sworn into office Thursday by Nashville Village Clerk Susan Corkwell were, from left, Gerald Kent and Richard Chaffee, newly-elected trustees; Forrest Babcock, an incumbent re-elected on March 14, and (standing in front of the men) trustee Linda Frith, who has been appointed to fill the vacancy created by the recent death of trustee George Hermenitt. Mrs. Frith will assume the 1-year post when her present term expires on March 31. All others sworn in Thursday will serve two-year terms on the Nashville council. The village matches the contribution each makes to the plan. In other business Thur­ sday, the council discussed with Larry Decker of Nash­ ville a contract he has with the village to remove wood from the sewage treatment site on Brumm Road. At the March 10 council meeting, Trustee Carl Tobias suggested the project be halted because he claimed dead wood was not being removed first, as provided in the agreement. Other council members then asked for time to in­ vestigate the matter. Thursday, Hughes reported that he and trustees George Frith and Linda Frith, along with DPW supervisor Leon Frith, had visited the site and agreed that there was dead wood on the ground which was not being removed first. “I personally feel a lot of wood that is down could be taken out before getting into cutting live trees,” said Hughes. “I didn’t think the intent was to take out live trees at this time — maybe later.” In October, the village accepted an offer by Decker to pay the village $21 per full cord of wood which he was to clear from the Brumm Road property, taking downed timber and other trees marked for removal by the DPW supervisor.

May the power of His love bring peaceto you. “For God so loved the wdrld, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoev­ er believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.” - John 3:16 Three hundred dozen hardboiled, colored Easter Eggs will be hidden on the grounds of Sandyland Park, just west of Nashville, to beckon children of the community Saturday, April 2. The traditional event has always attracted a large number of youngsters, and this year is expected to be no different. The Easter Egg Hunt is being organized again this year by Carl’s Market of Nashville, but is being supported by many merants and individuals who are contributing merchandise or cash to see that a selection of nice prizes are offered to the children. Among the 3,600 ordinary Easter Eggs will be a number of special, hollow plastic eggs containing slips of, paper entitling the finders to special awards. Among those individuals working on the upcoming event are Chamber of Commerce President Judy Quantrell, who has contacted local business people for contributions, and Jeanette Joseph of Carl’s Market, who is overseeing preparation and placement of the eggs. Mrs. Joseph said there has been a “real good response” to Mrs. Quantrell’s requests for support of the event. The Easter Egg Hunt starts at 3 p.m. sharp, and is open to youngsters up to age 12. To even the competition, specific areas of the park will be designated for various age groups. Eggs will be secreted with con­ sideration of size and ability of children in the various categories. Supporters of the event will be listed in a subsequent News article, after a comete list of donors is compiled. �The Maple Valley News, Nashville, Tuesday, March 29, 1983 — Page 2 Nashville News By Susan Hinckley chandise or monetary worship services at all the support so that nice prizes local churches. can be provided for the At the Church of the youngsters; Among the 300 Nazarene, Easter Sunday dozen hard-boiled, colored will be the concluding day of eggs that will be hidden on revival sessions which the grounds of Sandyland commence at 7 p.m. Wed­ will be a number of plastic nesday, March 30 and eggs containing certificates continue through Easter entitling the finders to Sunday evening.

The ladies all enjoyed lunch at the Country Kettle Cafe. Former local resident Wilda Martins Bust of Charlotte is a patient at the Eaton County Medical Care Facility in that city, recovering from a fractured hip. Word has been received here of the death of Edith Mack Goundrill, who at­ tended school here as a young girl. She was one of a family of seven sisters that lived here some 60 years ago. Mrs. Goundrill’s funeral was held February 21 in Battle "Creek, where she had resided for a number of years. She retired in 1970 as a floor supervisor for the S. S. Kresge Company. Sur­ viving are three sons, three daughters, several grand­ children, and sisters. Services were to be held Monday in Lansing for Mrs. Carrie Maurer, widow of Lawrence Maurer of Nash­ ville, who passed away last week in Lansing. She had been in failing health for some time. Monday graveside ser­ vices also were scheduled for Albert Erwin of Nashville, who died Saturday after a long illness. He was a retired Maple Grove Township farmer; had formerly worked at Eaton’s in Battle Creek; and at one time owned the local Stop and Shop grocery, which closed several years ago. Condolences are extended to these families in their losses. Performing at a Wed­ nesday evening potluck dinner event for senior citizens of the Butternut Creek apartments in Charlotte was the Monday Night Special, a local bluegrass-gospel group. The performers joined the seniors for dinner before the entertainment. Remember the Saturday, April 16 “Read-in” at Put­ nam Public Library for children, grades 4-6. The 1-4 p.m. event is sponsored by Friends of the Library, who will serve refreshments during reading breaks. Clarence and Margaret Reid of Nashville returned home Thursday after a sixday visit with their son and family, Darwin and Norma Reid and children, of Cadillac. En route there, they stopped at Luther to call on Clarence’s brother and sister-in-law, Earl and Orpha Reid. Also at the Earl Reids was his brother, Clyde Reid of rural Nashville. In a recent column, we quoted from a letter written by Wayne Fuller, a former local resident now of Toledo, who told of a chance meeting about 50 years ago in that city with Ted Townsend, another former Nashville resident who became a dentist and practiced in Lypsic, Ohio. In that letter, Fuller stated that Ted was now dead but added that he had lost track of Ted’s brother, Robert. Some light was shed on that subject in a letter last week from former local resident Kenneth A. Meade of Franklin. He wrote: “I noticed in the News section the reference to Ray Townsend’s sons, Robert and Ted. As I remember, Robert went to school at University of Michigan, graduated as an engineer about 1923, and then went to work for General Electric Company at Painted Post, New York.” After that, Meade said, he also had lost track of him. He continued: “I knew that Ted also went to (University of) Michigan but I did not know that he became a dentist. Alton Vance (of Nashville) was there about the same time and later practiced (as a dentist) in Charlotte.” On another topic, Meade wrote: “You did a fine job with the article on the problems of rural students attending high school in the early part of this century. I neglected to say that there were three winters when I stayed in town when the weather was bad and the snow was deep/’ Meade resided with friends or relatives during those periods.

Vagaries of the season, ranging from days warm with the promise of summer to the raging winds of winter, have been duly recorded by local reporters for well over a century. Weather has also been a traditionally favorite topic of diary-keepers. One of the most concise but interesting local records was kept by the late Frank Russell, longtime Nashville village engineer. As a young man, Russell had dreamed of being an engineer of another kind. He longed to pilot the powerful railroad locomotives, but family circumstances altered those aspirations. Called home from a job operating a threshing rig in North Dakota in 1902 to look after his recently-widowed mother, Frank Russell traded in his train dreams for a settled life as Nash­ ville’s village engineer. When he was hired on April 10, 1907, to run the two pumps in the waterworks building on the north bank of the Thornapple, he tackled the job with rare dedication. He moved a bed in alohgside the machinery and slept in those quarters for the next 29 years, pampering the old steam pumps to assure Nashville of a dependable public water supply. (The complete story of Frank Russell’s life was told in a Memories of the Past published March 5, 1980.) In addition to tending his water department duties, Russell enjoyed mowing the village parks and especially in delighted planting “posies” here and there to brighten the park scenery. Over the years, Russell found time to keep a daily diary in which he logged public works data along with personal information and tidbits of Nashville history — as it was happening. Daily weather notations were made and there were running commentaries about life near the Thornapple River; traffic and road conditions; production of local garden crops; con­ struction of new homes and other buildings in the village; fires and assorted tragedies; deaths (often down to whose dog had di ed); plus occ as ional mention'of community social events and, sometimes, noteworthy local tiffs. But most March entries were heavily weatheroriented. Following are a few selections excerpted from Russell’s writing during the month that traditionally enters like a lion and exits like a lamb. March 1908... 1 — boys riding down hill on crust (following rain and snow); 7 — River raised 18 inches last night. Sowed cabbage and tomato seeds; 13 — Ice went off river today; 15 — Got eight dip nets running, catching a few; 19 — Started eight geraniums; 28 — Caught suckers pretty fast this afternoon; 29 — Slate Matthews drowned in river today. March 1909... 4 The roads are most terrible rough this morning. Mrs. Manuel Feighner buried today; 10 — A high wind all day, snowing all the time. A disagreeable day to be out; 22 — Roads are commencing to dry up. No fishing in river yet; 23 Fire 4:20 in morning (at) Mort Whitney’s restaurant; 30 — Just a wee bit of snow last night. Ed VanNocker, Will Paul, Fred Baker came back this morning from the west; 31 — Roads getting quite dry. John Roe putting in telephone. March 1910... 1 Mrs. John Barry died last night; 2 — Ice commenced to break up just below the bridge; 5 — Ice all out of channel. Dip nets running, but not much fish; 17 — First fire this year, Homer Downing’s grist mill; 18 — Roads getting pretty dusty; 19 — Quite windy, it made the dust fly on Main Street; 23 — Just like summer weather; 24 — Street sprinkler started today. Got up to 84; 25 — Kids commenced to go barefoot; 26 — Raked lawn at pump house. After he was hired as Nashville's village engineer in 1907, Frank Russells world centered around this area near the Thornapple River dam. To be near the steam pumps he tended, he slept on a bed in the waterworks building (seen with smokestack at center-right). In his spare time he worked in Waterworks Park (later developed as Putnam Park) surrounding the standpipe water tower, left. At extreme right is the old Issac Kellogg planning mill (now gone) and, just north of that, the 1904 Frank Kellogg home. Daily diary entries by Russell noted news of the community in general and of this area by the river in particular. Each March, he recorded activity of dip nets perched along the banks below the dam. March 1912... 1 Bill Louder died last night. Frank Dickinson dead; 11 — Bought four bushels “tators” $4.; 16 — Woodard and his gang went by here to shovel snow. The boys belled Rube Smith last night; 18 — Kept Woodard gang busy on Main St. all afternoon, cutting ditches and shoveling snow; 19 — Sleighing about gone. Buggies commenced to run; 21 — Snowed about five in­ ches, everybody shoveling snow. We have got just as much ice and snow as we had in January. More sleighs than wheels; 29 — There is dusty roads, muddy roads and sleighing; 30 — Dip nets don’t get many fish this spring; 31 — Ice out of river from bridge to dam. March 1913... 11 — Snow is getting shy. No sleighing. A few is dragging them through the mud; 12 — Had a (train) wreck at Middleville last night. Rear-end collision, extra and local; 13 — Ice all went out at 5:50 this afternoon; 15 — John Gut­ chess buried. Dip nets in. Catching some suckers; 24 — Had some quite hard thundershowers last night. Blowed three barns down at Quimby last night; 25 — Boys skating on sidewalk. Rainy mist, sleety all day; 27 — Stopped snowing some time in the night. About two inches of snow. One load of logs came in on sleigh. Holmes are having revivals. Most everybody cleaning sidewalks. March 1920... 14 — Pretty nice day. Lots of people out walking (Sunday); 24 — Road my wheel (bicycle) for the first time (this year). Boiler inspector was here; 29 — Had cyclone out in Maple Grove yesterday p.m. Three killed. Quite high wind all day. Cold.

These were Dick Cook and Dick Linhart of Mulliken, Alfred Goodrich and Mary Ann Spitzley of Sunfield, and Carl Thrun of Vermontville. Besides these sorrows, three Lakewood High School students perished in a tragic automobile accident. One of the boys was Jeffrey Van Alstine of rural Sunfield Township. Death, whether expected, or untimely, always leaves us with a deep sense of sorrow and of loss. Circumstances such as these make us acutely aware that life itself is fragile, fleeting and uncertain. In modern America we are going through a sophisticated era in which God is all but considered illegal on a national level. The hope of a life abundant and everlasting is systematically ridiculed. The A.C.L.U. is engaged in ever increasing legal action to deny the public acknowledgement of God. Not so learned Judges have decreed, in effect, the it is permissible to acknowledge the Almighty or to call upon Him.

Maple Valley will be the first C division band to play at 1:25 p in. The first selection on Valley's list will be "American's We", a required warm up march consisting of very high and complicated clarinet and flute parts. Some of the things that the judges will be listening for are how well the band ar- ticulates and uses the contrasts in the song. The next piece of music is the song “Anthem for Winds and Percussion”, which is one from a required list. This song is a lively, short tune with a smooth legato melody. The part slows down to a slow chorale which sounds like an organ with all the parts blending together. The final selection is a very nice sounding piece called ““Chorale Chorale and Capriccio.” It is just what it says. The first part is a sad, slow sounding church psalm which is a chorale. The judges will be The listening for tone and intonation in this part. The music gets quite dynamic leading up to the Capriccio. The Capriccio then gets very energetic, dramatic and is to make its listener think of a gesture dancing before his king. It is very light and lively and has a very strong up beat. Maple Valley plans on getting a one this year and would like a lot of people’s support, so we would love to see you there. The music department is proud to announce the revival of a long since dead tradition, the school musical. Under the direction of Mr. Duane Thatcher, the musical “The Boy Friend” is currently in the works. Open auditions were held March 8 for anyone who was in­ terested in performing. The tryouts consisted of reading the parts and later singing the song of their choice in order to evaluate both the quality and the volume of the singing voice. The tryouts themselves went very well. Assisting Mr. Thatcher was Mr. Phil Janke, a colleague from Middleville who had helped him with the previous shows at that school. At first there was a tinge of nervousness in the air but as time passed, everyone settled into their normal behavior patterns, along with those of the character whose part they were Hard work does ‘pay off' by Kandy Kane Our Maple Valley Senior High Student Council has been busy this year updating present school rules and policies.

After their survey, to committee met with Mr. Hartenburg and gave him their findings. Most teachers felt this to be a good idea as long as it was a “B” average in each individual class and the students stayed within their twelve day absence policy. The next step was to have the plan approved by the board of education. Mr. Hartenburg presented it to the board. He came back to the committee with a positive response that the board had accepted the plan for exemption of final exams for seniors.

At the March 22 annual meeting in East Lansing, awards are given to - among others -- leaders who have been nominated for special recognitions. In our area, Alice Billings from Charlotte received the Area Award and and Eaton Rapids’ Elizabeth Scarlet received the Outstanding Leader Award.

Arrangements are being made to visit with Maple Valley high school teacher Mrs. Carpenter, who will talk to the Brownies about journalism. There are possibilities of a troop slumber party sometime during spring vacation. Brownie troop 244 ( 2nd and 3rd grades) announces a bake sale at the Ver­ montville Hardware on April 1 and 2. The sale will run from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. each day. There will be lots of decorated Easter cakes! These Brownies have cooked a 1 pot meal (chili) at the Lions’ park and also had a surprise birthday party for Co- Leader Sheila Hart. In addition to delivering cookies, our Juniors have been very active this month. They went to East Lansing for the McDonalds Girl Scout MSU McCheer Off and a regional championship rodeo.

Sharpen your pencils, gentle readers: it’s time for a pop quiz. What do you do if your clothing catches on fire? (Check one.) ( ) A. Run to the sink and throw cup after cup of water on myself. ( ) B. Run to the bathroom and step into the shower. ( ) C. Hope my will is properly written. Of course, the answer is (C). Because if you catch fire and run off to look for water, you’ll never live to find it. For one thing, fire burns upward. So by stan­ ding upright, you’re allowing the fire to spread all over your body, right up to your face. This happens quickly — with • some fabrics, in seconds. Unless you’re standing in the bathtub already, you can’t possibly reach the water quickly enough. And by running, you’ll fan the flames; all that air moving past you will just make the fire burn faster still! To deal with clothing fire, you want to minimize the air supply and reduce its spreading power at once — and then put it out. Three little words describe the technique: STOP, DROP, and ROLL. Here’s how it works. STOP. Stop where you are. Don’t go anywhere. Drop what you’re doing, and... DROP. Drop to the ground and lie flat. Immediately, this gives the fire no place to go and limits the amount of your body it can attack. It also puts you in position to... ROLL. Roll back and forth until the fire is out. That’s it! After you do STOP, DROP and ROLL, soak the burn in cool water to stop further tissue damage; remove clothing from the burned area (if clothing is stuck to the burn, cut away the rest of the clothing without disturbing the burn); cover the burn with a clean sheet or sterile dressing and seek medical attention. If someone else becomes seriously burned, follow these steps, have the victim lie down and keep warm, and call for aid at once. Now that you know about STOP, DROP and ROLL, don’t keep it a secret. Teach your loved ones. A child of three can learn STOP, DROP and ROLL if it’s taught as a game: have the child actually perform the technique often in frequent, short training sessions. Your goal: to be able to say to the child, “What do you do if your clothes cath fire?” any time, at any place, and have the child STOP, DROP and ROLL on the spot. So if your clothing catches fire, STOP, DROP and ROLL. That way, if there’s something in your will you don’t like, you’ll have plenty of time to do something about it!

Julie is the daughter of Alejandro and Beverly Villanueva of 213 West First St. Volleyball and band are two of Julie’s extra­ curricular interests in school. She has been a member of the junior varsity volleyball team for two years and also has been a member of the Maple Valley Lions mar­ ching band for two years. She is now taking a health assistant class through the vocational educational of­ ferings in the Eaton In­ termediate School District. Julie’s hobbies include summer sports, horseback riding, and other outdoor activities. She also collects owls. In her application for the festival court, Julie had a number of ideas for im­ proving the annual festival. She said she would like to see the queen and her court involved in more festival activities than they have in the past. She would also like to see “more room for the rides, food stands, games, etc.” Julie feels that the parade would be more exciting if more high school bands would participate.

Aprils. 1983 Maple Syrup Festival on 'tap'In Vermontville this month The sweet taste of maple syrup products wrapped in a festive three-day package of entertainment and familyoriented activities is on tap for April 22-24 in the Eaton County village of Ver­ montville. The maple syrup festival, first held in 1940, serves as an outlet for local syrup producers to market their products and a chance for vistors to learn how the pure nectar is made while they take in the historical chqrm of the New England-style village. Visitors to Vermontville will be able to view maple syrup making demon­ strations all day Saturday and Sunday (April 23 and 24) inside Maple Manor, the community’s “sugar shanty.” That’s where sap, tapped from local sugar maple trees, is boiled into pure golden brown syrup during late winter or early spring each year. The festival is a celebration of the syrup harvest and new features in this year’s 43rd edition will include two evening street dances (April 22 & 23), featuring music for all ages by “Trilogy,” a Flint band. Carnival rides, for the first time, will be available for a one-price unlimited ride admission fee on the first .evening only (Friday, April 22) of the event. Amusement rides on Saturday and Sunday will be available at regular prices. A talent show also will be part of the activities on April 22. The 1983 Vermontville That's a lot of cookies! Tami Mason, daughter of Bill and Sharon Mason of Vermontville, was the top salesperson in a Girl Scout Cookie sales campaign recently conducted by Vermont­ ville's Troop 313. Tami sold a whopping 525 boxes of cookies, out of the over 2,000 sold by 21 Junior Girl Scouts and five Cadettes. Troop 313 is part of Area Seven of the Michigan Capitol Council of Girl Scouts, and is led by Kathy Othmer, assisted by Edith Swartz. Leader of the Cadettes who helped in the sale is Jeri Baker. (Maple Valley News photo by Susan Hinckley) Maple Syrup Queen, Amy Jo Cole, 17, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Gerald Cole of 3334 Vermontville Hwy; will be crowned during Saturday (April 23) ceremonies. A junior at Maple Valley High School, Miss Cole is the third generation of her family to serve on the festival court. Her grandmother, Arline Howe Hokanson, served on the first syrup queen’s court in 1940 and her mother, Paula Cole, was the alter­ nate queen in 1962. Saturday’s festivities (April 23) will include a children's parade and a grand parade with the theme of “Syrup Time, Spring’s New Beginning.” There also will be a square dance, a farmyard zoo, and helicopter rides. Old-fashioned melodramas where villains, heros, and heroines stalk the stage will be presented in the town’s Opera Opera House, designated as a state historic site. An arts and crafts show, featuring more than 100 exhibitors, will be held in the Maplewood Elementary School all day Saturday and Sunday (April 23 & 24). Tours and demonstrations at the Vermontville Museum, also a historic site, will be conducted all three days of the event. On Sunday, April 24, outdoor church services will be conducted on the village square. Activities in the afternoon will focus upon open-contests, patterned after old-time competitions like wood chopping, arm wrestling, a pancake derby, pig chase, and egg toss. Pancakes (smothered in Vermontville produced syrup) and sausage meals will be served by local organizations on Saturday and Sunday of the event. There also will be other food concessions. In addition to maple syrup, local producers will be promoting maple sugar candy and maple cream at stands set-up around the village. Camping facilities are available at the Ponderosa Campgrounds on the southern edge of town and at the Maple Valley High School grounds in con­ junction with the National Campers and Hikers Association No. 80. A shuttle bus will be in operation from the camping areas to the downtown district approximately every 20 minutes during the festivities on April 23 & 24. Vermontville is located off M-66, midway between Hastings and Charlotte. For more information about the festival, call 517-726-0394. In this scene, from a past maple syrup festival, a crowd of spectators watches the mini-parade of costumed children, a feature of this year's edition in Vermont­ ville. The festival will begin Friday, April 22 and continue through Sunday, April 24.

I remember only basketball (in my spare too well how frightened I was time). I was an A or A+ the first day I started high student all through school. I learned quite easily and forgot quickly. “My dad had said he would like to have a teacher or a minister of one of his family. I was the last hope, so I planned on teaching. When I was in the eighth grade at McKelvey school, my teacher was in ill health and about once a week she left me in charge of school. She also encouraged me to teach. After graduation (from NHS), I went to Kalamazoo for a teacher’s course and in the fall taught school ova* by Lacey at Eagle school... Later, I decided it wasn’t for me, so I went to South Bend, Indiana, to take a secretarial course at the business college.” (Her first job was as a stenographer for Major Dunstan and payroll clerk at old Camp Custer near Battle Creek.) “I can recall an incident of school days in Nashville. Luelda Brady was going with me to spend the weekend at (the home of) my brother Frank in Vermontville. After school, Luelda had to go home to get some clothes, etc., and we decided to walk down the railroad track by the depot when one of the train men asked us where we were going. We told him, and he said they would be pulling out right away and stopping (in Vermontville). ‘There is an empty (box) car and the door is open. You can ride Myrtle Marshall, right, was mortified to have her boyfriend arrive unexpectedly at their farm and find over.’ “He helped us in and, true her wearing blue jeans which she had donned to help to his word, helped us down her dad make hay. "In those days women didn't wear (at Vermontville). Someone slacks," explains Myrtle. With her in this 1917 photo is slacks, saw us get in the car and it friend Pearl Gearhart (later, Gardner). was all over town. More fuss In a recent Memories of the Past about the trials of early rural youngsters finding transportation to classes at Nashville High School, we featured recollections by three for­ mer residents. One of those three was Myrtle Marshall Donovan, a 1917 graduate of NHS and daughter of the late Rev. and Mrs. John J. Marshall of Maple Grove. In a follow-up letter last week, Mrs. Donovan shared many other reminiscences about her family and childhood days — written in such a charming manner we could not resist passing them on to our readers (with her approval). In 1920, Myrtle married Lawrence Brown and became the mother of six children. She first had a secretarial career then raised her family. (She now has 20 grandchildren and 28 great - grandchildren.) After her husband’s death in 1958, she married Martin Donovan in 1962 and the couple eventually settled in Mesa, Arizona, after a oneyear stint in VISTA (Volunteers in Service to America). They organized a center This 1915 gathering of Nashville students at the local railroad depot welcomed the arrival of their professor C. W. Appleton (center, wearing long dark topcoat) in what proved to be a false celebration. "We thought he had been elected school commissioner but there was some kind of recount and he wasn't,' recalls Myrtle Marshall, seen in long white dress just right of center. She remembers Appleton as a stern disciplinarian, but liked him. was made over that than if we had committed murder. I never could see where we did anything so wrong.” Myrtle was one of ten children born to the John Marshalls. The others were Rose, Fred, Frank, Jesse, Lorilla, John, Margaret, Sophia and Laurel. Her father was an Ohio native who came to Michigan in 1862 with his parents and settled on a Maple Grove Township farm where he grew to manhood. John was from a family of five boys (the others were George, Christopher, Harvey, and Dave Marshall) and three girls: Louise Hyde, Sophia Marshall, and Kate Kinney. “Sophia married a cousin so she didn’t change her name,” writes Mrs. Donovan. “When going to school, most were relatives and later it was hard to find a boyfriend who wasn’t relatioa “The Lord called my father to be a minister and at the time, he chewed tobacco. He felt it was a sin he must conquer and he did. He always said as a shepherd of his flock, he should avoid evil or even the appearance of evil. A pedro deck was never allowed in our house or any liquor. I never heard any quarreling or swearing. “(For) my mother, her family and God was her full life. It was the custom then that a minister’s time at one place was three years. Before I was born, they were in northern Michigan. Crops were poor and so was everyone. The grocer could not afford to let groceries out on credit. For a week, my folks had nothing to eat. Ministers were lucky to get any money — often it was just food brought in from the farms and second-hand clothing that had been discarded. Clothing was brought in at house-cleaning time and one day a whole lot (arrived). Mother asked Dad what his sermon was going to be and he said, ‘Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed as one of these.’ Mother smiled. “Sunday morning she lingered after Dad had left, then dressed the kids in the (discarded) clothing. Just as Dad announced the title of his sermon, Mother marched into church with the children. “During those times when it was so bad, Dad had to leave for his appointment and would be gone a week or two. He got the horse ready then knelt down to pray, telling God that his family had no food in the house and asking God to take care of them. He went in and kissed mother goodbye and told her, ‘Momma, I know God is going to take care of you.’ “There was an old man (living in the area) who liked Dad and later told him that at the very same time Dad was praying, the thought came to him, ‘I wonder if Rev. Marshalls have any food?’ “The thought was so in­ sistent that he didn’t wait to do his chores, but went back to the house and got a sack of flour, a big ham, potatoes and other vegetables (and delivered them to the Marshalls). “I was born at Riverton near Scottville, Michigan. We moved around several times. When I was five, father had his home parish at the South and North Evangelical churches (in Maple Grove). I started school at McKelvey, two miles away from our home (which is a present-day nursing home on Lawrence Road). My dad built that house and the timber was from our woods. The woodwork in the house was furniture oak.” The Marshall family then moved to Eureka and Mt. Pleasant before returning to Maple Grove. “Dad’s health was failing so we moved back on the farm. I went to McKelvey school for the seventh and eighth grades. I was Dad’s hired help. There wasn’t any riding machinery then. I plowed, dragged, ran the hay fork, planted com with a hand-planter, made hay — all that sort of stuff. Dad would never work on Sunday, only to feed the livestock or in an emergency. “One time we were making hay on another farm and brought in our last load about 7:30 on a Saturday night. I had on jeans — in those days women didn’t wear slacks but I would have tripped in a dress, so I got this pair of jeans. We had hardly gotten into the driveway when my boyfriend Earl Gibson drove in. I slid off the back of the wagon and ran into the house. My sister Jesse was there and she called to Earl, then came in and dragged me out of the clothes closet. Was I embarrassed!” Rev. John J. Marshall and his wife, the former Louise Jane Wendel of Maple Grove, celebrated their golden wedding anniversary in 1928. Two years later, he died. “Mother was lost without Dad and she often said she was ready to go any time to be with him. She lived until 1940. “When times were hard and we kids maybe had only one good outfit, she would set up nights and sew. She could get a very good meal out of almost nothing. “One man who always criticized most people and hand’t a good word for anyone, made the statement, ‘Louise Marshall is one good woman’.” MONDAYTUESDAY* WEDNESDAY. an W 0O0FF PnErnR>M*oS ...HAIRCUT-$3S0 FRIDAY..

Chris took home a chocolate Easter bunny sitting in a race car. The committee wishes to express its thanks to all the parents who helped to make our race a success and to the school for allowing us to use the building. What’s a patient fire? That’s a fire that smolders at an undetectably low level... a fire you can walk right past, or sit on, without ever knowing it’s there. A fire that, in strict ac­ cordance with Murphy’s Law, patiently waits till the whole house is asleep before belching flame and toxic gases. Like anything else, in order to be that patient, the fire must be pretty com­ fortable which is why “patient fires” are generally found in your best upholstered furniture. It all begins when a bur­ ning match or cigarette is dropped between the cushions of a couch... or, perhaps when an extension cord failure touches a spark to carpeting or furniture. Perhaps the cigarette isn’t immediately recovered. Or maybe a small fire starts at once, the homeowner stamps it out or puts water on it and disconsolately writes himself a note to call the upholsterer in the morning. Carpeting and upholstery can store enough heat to rekindle a once extinguished fire -or to smolder at a level so low that no detectable heat or smoke is produced for a couple of hours. Ultimately, heat builds up enough for combustion to begin. Sometimes there’s never a real fire at all. There are documented cases where, without ever bursting into flame, upholstery combustion generated enough smoke to kill entire families in their sleep. How can the fire- wise family respond to this threat? By assuming that an ex­ tinguished upholstery fire is not out. Too often, burning carpet or upholstery receives the exact minimum of attention necessary to drive flames out ofsight. The idea, of course, is to limit the damage - why add insult to injury by throwing water on a burning cushion instead of just stamping out the *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 person seeking this re­ word will not be disclosed. The information will be in­ vestigated by the Barry Coun­ ty Sheriff Dept. If you have such information, please call from 4 p.m. to 6 p.m. Daily. 616-948-8986 Ask for Ron Harriman, mgr. flames? To keep your house from burning down, that’s why. If a match or cigarette drops into the cushions, drop everything and get it out. If there’s a small fire, drown it with copious quantities of water. Don’t just drown the fire - use enough water to thoroughly cool residual heat in the stuffing. Even if there’s no fire, if the cigarette, match or spark touched the fabric for more than an instant, cool the spot with water. And in case of doubt, play it safe. Stay up an extra hour to keep an eye on things. Put the offending cushion (or piece of furniture) outside overnight -- better to have it stolen than for it to rekindle in your home. If a larger area of cloth burned, call the fire department even if you think you’ve put the fire out. If you do everything right and the fire still rekindles, sleep easy. Your smoke detector will alert you before dangerous levels of toxic gases can build in your home. (If after all this time you still don’t own a smoke detector, shame on you - and go buy one right now!) The fire-wise homeowner knows how to handle small upholstery fires — after putting out the fire you can see, keep on going and ex­ tinguish the patient fire you can’t see.

Flowers are memorial by Paula Tuttle Have you ever noticed the flowers in the flower well in the front of the Maple Valley High School? The flower well was donated by Mrs. Virignia Fox, who’s on the school board. Mrs. Fox donates flowers every year to put in the flower well in memory of her daughter, Vickie, who died of cancer. Vickie Fox was a 1975 graduate of Maple Valley. She was active in school sports and extra-curricular activities in the school. That is one of the reasons why the flower well was built. The flowers contribute to the beauty of the school just as Vickie did.

Birth of a school page by Jess Bahs As of a couple weeks ago, you are reading from the second edition of the new school page. This school page was thought up by Maple Valley's own English teachers (a well loved subject) and supported by the Maple Valley News. The teacher in charge is Mrs. Susan Steffel who teaches English II to tenth graders this year. She is the editor for the page and is responsible for making sure that the people who write for the school page get an article in. The students who are doing articles for the school page are as follows: Dan Lykins, Craig Ostergren, Diana Shank, Paula Tuttle, Heather/ Brown, Dean Stewart, Jess Bahs, Karen Long, Gay Goss, and Ann Hummel. The students came in at 7:30 on Tuesday mornings to discuss certain subjects and topics. From there, the students are assigned a story and write an article on the subject in their own free time outside of school. Mrs; Steffel then collects the typed copies of the ar­ ticles and sends them into the newspaper to be printed. So far the school page is new, but hopes to gain more and more readers who are curious to find out “what’s happening in school”. So let’s all read on! MV choir plans concert by Paula Tuttle We all hope to have you come and hear the Maple Valley choir sing. This is the choir’s first spring concert since 1979-1980.

This award is a prestigious honor very few students can ever hope to attain. In fact, the United States Achievement Academy recognizes less than 10 percent of all American high school students. Rebecca was nominated for the national award by Mrs. Dorothy Carpenter, a journalism advisor at the school. In recognition of the achievement, Rebecca will appear in the United States Achievement Academy Official Yearbook, published nationally. The academy selects USAA winners upon the exclusive recommendation of teachers, coaches, counselors or other school sponsors and upon the academy’s standards of selection. The criteria for selection are a student’s academic performance, interest and aptitude, leadership qualities, responsibility, enthusiasm, motivation to learn and improve, citizenship, attitude and cooperative spirit,' depen­ dability, recom­ and mendation from a teacher or director.

Among the cuts were 25 programs and agencies which were eliminated. 116 NEW LAWS GO INTO EFFECT - Over one hundred bills that were passed last December, but did not receive “immediate effect”, went into effect on March 30, 91 days after the last day of the 1982 session, as prescribed by law. Included in the new laws are strict drunk driving laws, and a measure that requires registration of snowmobiles. MICHIGAN JOB TRAINING COORDINATING COUNCIL - Government, business and labor leaders are among those recently appointed to the newly created Michigan Job Training Coordinating Council. The Council was established to oversee the spending of $200 million Michigan will receive from the federal government this fall. The money is part of the Federal Job Training and Partnership Act, signed into law by President Reagan last year to replace the now defunct Comprehensive Employment and Training Act (CETA). SCHOOL AID FUNDS TO BE RESTORED - State Treasury officials have announced that school aid payments for April will be paid, but will arrive a few weeks late. In addition, all school aid payments that have been delayed since January will eventually be reinstated, but not before the end of the current fiscal year, according to State Treasurer Robert Bowman. VOLUNTARY QUITTERS - Legislation has been in­ troduced in the Michigan House of Representatives that would close a loophole in the state’s unemploymentt com­ pensation insurance system that currently permits voluntary quitters to claim benefits to which they are not entitled. People who voluntarily leave their jobs and then claim to have been “laid off” from doingg yard y work,, house painting, p g, or other such work for friends or relatives can presently claim benefits from their previous employer, even though the previous employer has not paid unemployment taxes. The proposal would make that practice illegal. GUIDELINES FOR AILING CITIES PROPOSED Michigan communities facing financial emergencies would be required to follow special guidelines to qualify for state assistance under a legislative proposal recently introduced in the Michigan House. The bill is designed to allow the state to intervene when serious financial problems arise in communities. Under current law, the state can lend cities in distress financial aid, but the state has very little control over how the money is managed and spent.

The night before operation was set to com­ mence at the new facility, Williams turned out the first glass bottle ever produced there. “I happened to be in the right place at the right time,” is the way Williams recalls that distinction. Bom in Indiana, Williams has worked for the Toledo­ based O-I firm for the past 23 years. He tranferred to Michigan from Portland, Oregon, 20 years ago, as one of several experienced workers.who comprised the early staff of the Charlotte plant. At the time Williams turned out that first bottle, which was a whiskey con­ tainer, he was a machine operator. At the time of this retirement he was a shift foreman. Before Michigan’s bottle law went into effect in January 1979, the O-I plant at Charlotte employed some 1,200 persons in the manufacture of a variety of beer and pop bottles. The new law which banned use of throwaway bottles in the state seriously hurt the O-I operation, notes Williams. He said the plant presently has about 350 employees. “The plant is down a third from what it used to be,” says Williams. “That (bottle law) is what put us out of business.” While the Charlotte plant still operates at reduced capacity, the company has had to rely more on the production of such things as glass jars for baby food and pickles. They still make some beverage bottles of returnable design, but the need for those is markedly less than the previous demand of throwaway containers. Williams and his family feel that many Michigan residents do not realize how seriously the bottle law affected the O-I operation. The company still operates 18 plants nationwide, says Williams. Only a few states have adopted such a strict bottle law as that approved by Michigan voters in the fall of 1978, he adds. Up until 1982 the Charlotte plant continued to make some throwaway bottles for shipments to other states, but that has now ended. As a keepsake, Williams has the final throwaway bottle which rolled off the Charlotte line. Bottles are made of a mixture of sand, ash and limestone heated to 2,000 degrees in the manufac­ turing process. Returnable bottles contain 9 ozs. of material, compared to the 5 to 7 ozs. needed to produce a throwaway bottle. Williams took an early retirement under a program implemented by the com- pany for salaried personnel, following the business slow­ down. In recognition of his years of service, Williams was treated to several dinners, arid three different retirement cakes, received a wristwatch, a hunting knife and a fishing rod. He and his wife, Dorothy, plan to travel more now and Williams hopes to have more time to fish at Thornapple Lake, where he keeps a boat. Immediate plans are for a trip to Oklahoma to visit their daughter, Lois Bosworth and family, at Ada. The Williams’ other children all live in Nashville. They are George, owner of Big George’s Party Store; Judith, and Paul Robert, an O-I employee laid- off a year ago after 10 years service. The Williams have five grandchildren - two girls and three boys.

Williams has the distinction of turning out the first bottle ever produced at the Charlotte plant. Softball (Maple Valley News photo by Susan Hinckley) Action-Ads Advert nomen!

The highlight of the af­ ternoon program was Wildlife Bioligist, Ray Rustem of the Michigan United Conservation Clubs, who spoke on Potential threat of diverting water from the Great Lakes, how it will affect Michigan if this threat of taking Michigan Waters to the western and southwestern States should come about. He pointed out that 20 percent of the world’s fresh water is contained in the Great Lakes. Forty percent of Michigan’s area is water due to its boundaries with Canada and surrounding states. Michigan has already lost 60 percent of its original wetlands to drainage and filling activities. Longer winter navigation seasons are increasing shoreline erosion damage according to Rustem. Rustem noted that western and southwestern states are rapidly running out of water while their population continues to increase thus increasing the demand of scarce water. The Oglallah Aquifier that, extends north from Texas to the Dakota’s may pump their water supply below feasible depth before the end of this century - a mere 17 years. Forty percent of the fat beef produced in the United States are dependent on this Lake Huron size Aquifier’s water supply. The Great Lakes states pay $29 billion dollars more in taxes than they receive back from the Federal Government which equal to a loss of $390 per person. The combination of loss of tax dollars and loss of congressional represen­ tation due to shifting populations will make it increasingly difficult for Michigan and other Great Lakes States to protect their water resources, according to Rustem. District Secretary, John Simpson introduced the five teens who attended the Michigan United Con­ servation Clubs Youth Conservation Camp in 1982. The week long camp on a variety of conservation activities is located in the Waterloo Recreation Area near Ann Arbor. In the past 22 years the District has arranged sponsors for a total of 104 boys and girls to attend this camp. Those attending this year were: Sarah Braden, Maple Valley Schools; Robbi Cook, Maple Valley Schools; Todd Chapman, Charlotte Schools; Todd McCrimmon, Charlotte Schools; Troy Garnant, Olivet Schools. The sponsors this year were: Michigan National Bank of Charlotte, Eaton Federal Savings and Loan of Charlotte, Cheney Limestone and Bellevue, Grand Ledge Clay Products and Grand Ledge Produce Co. of Grand Ledge, Kiwanis of Charlotte, and John and Phyllis Simpson of Rural Charlotte.

Into these they should be in­ corporating a thorough farm safety management plan. “A good safety program is as important as the farm cash flow,” says Roger Betz, Extension Ag Agent. "The payoff comes in the prevention of costly errors. Safety is too expensive to learn by accident.” Consider the costs of an accident. Beyond the obvious — such as medical bills and machinery repair or replacement, which can place a heavy economic burden on your business, are many hidden costs. Current statistics show that an average of 10 working days are lost for each farm accident. How much money can you lose in 10 days? What happens to your crops or livestock during that time? What will itcost to hire somebody to do your work while you recover? Will you ever be able to do the same work you did before the accident? Some things can’t be measured in dollars and cents - such as a permanent handicap or the loss of your health. What effects would a disability have on your lifestyle? On your family? On your earning power? Consider the mental burden on the family if you are seriously injured. What if it’s not you that is involved in an accident, but rather another family member? How are you going to work effectively with that onyourmind? AWARENESS In developing an accident prevention plan, consider where the greatest hazards exist on your farm or or­ chard operation. -- The five major factors involved in agricultural accidents each year include farm machinery (20 per­ cent), motor vehicles (12 percent), animals (11 per­ cent), hand tools (7 percent), and power tools (5 percent). - Farm tractors are in­ volved in one- fourth of all Maple Valley WOM EN SOFTBALL MEETING Tuesday, April 19,1983 7:00 P.M.

Most of these occur between April and October, with June being the peak accident month. Family members are the victims in 86 percent of all accidents; hired labor, 10 percent, and farm visitors, 4 percent. - Farm elevators have one of the highest accident rates per hour of farm machinery use. Most people who are injured in elevator accidents suffer crushing injuries or have some part of their body severed: fingers, 77 percent; hands, 15 percent; legs, 8 percent. - Half the reported combine related injuries occur in the field. Fingers are lost in 38 percent of these accidents, and most of these fingers are cut off when caught in or between moving parts. PREVENTION The operator’s manual that accompanies most types of farm machinery usually lists the potential danger points and precautions to be taken during operation. If you lose a manual, your equipment dealer can usually obtain a replacement. You should periodically review manual contents with family members, and especially with new or returning farm employees. Be aware of physical limitations of yourself and others. As people get more and more tired, the likelihood of an accident increases. Physically and mentally alert work- team members are the least likely to become accident victims. Familiarize yourself with the laws and regulations governing farm equipment on roads and highways during the day and evening, and emphasize their im­ portance to employees. Know the OSHA and MIOSHA laws that pertain to agriculture and make sure Before you buy any nitrogen, examine the value of solution. There’s a good chance nitrogen solution may be your best nitrogen buy. It offers many advantages over other nitrogen forms. You can tank-mix with herbicides and save one or more trips across the field. You get a timely, professional application with uniform coverage. And only nitrogen solution offers three forms of nitrogen, for quick seedling boost as well as long-lasting availability For the complete story on nitrogen solution, come by and see us.

Clothes should be snug but not tight fitting and free from frayed areas or loose drawstrings that could become entangled in moving machinery parts. Whenever you or em­ ployees are doing hazardous work such as handling animals or pesticides, repairing hydraulic systems, cleaning manure pits or silos, or operating noisy equipment, be sure everyone is provided with the ap­ propriate protective clothing or gear. For example, wear hard- toed boots or shoes when working around animals, and use hearing protection around noisy equipment.

April 12, 1983 Unique art auction will benefit Nashville's chamber A unique art auction coupled with sidewalk sales in Nashville is expected to provide an exciting weekend, April 29-30. Plans for the sales promotion were made Thursday at a meeting of the Chamber of Commerce, which hopes to attract shoppers to Main Street for a Saturday art auction which will benefit the Chamber organization as well as participating artists. Curtis Craft Center in Nashville initiated the art event last month when it launched a painting contest scheduled to culminate with the observance of their second annual open house April 29-30. For a $5 entry fee Curtis Craft gave each applicant a 12x16 inch stretched canvas to use for an oil or acrylic painting of the artist’s choice. Twenty-six area artists - some novices^ some experienced took advantage of the offer. On Saturday, April 30, at 10 a.m. auctioneer William Stanton of Vermontville will be at Curtis Craft Center to conduct an auction of the completed entries. It is hoped all 26 artist will return their finished works in time for the event. Half of the sale price of each painting will go to the artist and the balance will be contributed to the Nashville Chamber of Commerce for civic im­ provement projects an idea which originated with Curtis Craft. In addition, the artists will be competing for three top cash prizes of $100, $50 and $25, furnished by Curtis Craft. Judging will be by a panel of local persons with art backgrounds. Beside the financial benefit to the artists and the Chamber, Vernon Curtis, owner of Curtis Craft Center, sees another advantage, especially for budding ar­ tists participating in the contest. “For those who have never had an opportunity to sell their paintings, it will give them a chance to see how others like their work,” said Curtis. He noted that response to the contest was “really super.” “If people enjoy it, it could be done on an annual basis,” he added. Sidewalk sales in Nashville’s business district will be conducted both Friday and Saturday. At Curtis Craft Center, where the auction will be conducted indoors in case of inclement weather, winning names for door prizes will be drawn every hour during the 2 day event. Supplier representatives also- will be on hand to answer questions about various arts and crafts. In other business at Thursday’s meeting, Chamber members discussed the possible publication of a map of Nashville, produced with financial backing of local merchants and business people whose ad­ vertisements would appear on the folder. Also at Thursday’s meeting the date of May 6 was set for a potluck dinner at the Community House at which Rep. Robert Bender a Middleville, (R-88th) will be the featured speaker. Chamber members are to bring a meat dish and another choice to pass, plus table service for the 7 p.m. meal. At about 8 p.m., when it is expected Bender will commence his presentation, the program will be opened to the general public. Plenty of syrup on hand; Vernon Curtis, owner of Curtis Croft Center in Nashville, shows the first of 26 entries expected for an April 30 auction which will benefit the participating artists as well as the local Chamber of Commerce. For a $5 entry fee in March, Curtis Craft provided contestants with a stretched canvas for a work of their choice. Auction proceeds will be divided between the individual artists and the Chamber. Cash prizes also await the top three artists - who may submit their paintings with or without frames. Nashville Sidewalk Sales will coincide with the Ort auction event.

SYRUP QUEEN village’s Maple Syrup Festival set for April 22-24. That’s the word from Stan Trumble, president of festival corporation, who says that despite this year’s short season the producers have ample supplies of syrup. Vermontville’s annual syrup festival, established in 1940, serves as an important market outlet^ for area syrup producers in addition to providing a weekend filled with family-oriented ac­ tivities for the public. Last month, some syrup producers were worried about whether syrup yields would be sufficient because of unseasonably warm temperatures. It takes a combination of freezing nights and warm days for sap from sugar maple trees to flow at its best. Just to produce one gallon of syrup, between 30 to 50 gallons of sap must be boiled. However, maple syrup will be flowing freely this year at the pancake and sausage meals that will be served April 23 and 24 at the festival, and area producers will be selling their products at stands sfet-up around town. Visitors to Vermontville will be able to view maple syrup making demon­ strations all day on both days inside Maple Manor, near the community’s Methodist Church. One of the festival highlights will be the 2 p.m. Grand Parade through Vermontville on Saturday. “The parade looks as good or better than ever,” said Trumble. About 45-entries are ex­ pected to participate in the parade including the Scott­ ville Clown Band, the Battle Creek Shriner’s Mini-T Patrol, the West Ottawa Dutch Dancers, the Charlotte Senior Citizens’ Kitchen Band. “We really have a quality parade lined-up and some unusual floats,” said Mari Martin of the parade com­ mittee. This year’s theme is “Syrup Time, Spring’s New Beginning.” New additions to the floats this year include entries from the Small Animal Association and represen­ tatives of a mini-tractor pull group. Other new attractions will include an A & W Great Root Beer Bear and a clown furnished by Dawn Donuts. The parade will organize on on Ionia Rd. this year before it steps-off through the downtown district. A talent show, held on an outdoor stage downtown, will kick-off festivities at 6:30 p.m. Friday. Following the show, a street dance, featuring music by Flint musicians Trilogy will be held in downtown Vermontville. The street darice is a first for the festival. Also on Friday evening, Crown Amusements will be offering a six-hour special of unlimited carnival rides for a $5 fee.

Former local resident Wayne Fuller of Toledo, Ohio, who grew up in the Quailtrap School district south ofNashville, wrote last week to comment on a photo we used in a recent Memories of the Past story. It showed the devastation at the George Belson farm after a tornado ripped through the Wilcox neigh­ borhood of Maple Grove Township on March 28, 1920. Wrote Fuller: “The picture of the results of the tornado brings back memories of that event. Actually there were two of them traveling in parallel paths. The second one dipped down just enough to take our windmill. I saw it from our kitchen window. I cried out ‘cloudburst’, as that was. my idea of what one would be the clouds bending down and the water pouring out. My mother was watching also and said it was a tornado, as she had wit­ nessed one as a child. We could feel the suction in the house from the one that was over us and we went to the basement. Even animals sense the danger. The hired man was getting the cows in the bar n at the time and they would not go into the stan­ chions until the storm had passed.”’ (The complete story of the Maple Grove tornado was told in a Memories of the Past published June 11, 1980.) An April “Community Coffee’1 sponsored by Nash­ ville Friends of the Library is set for Thursday, the 21st, between 9:30-11 a.m. at the Community Center in Putnam Park.

Tuesday, April 12, 1983—Page3 From our readers Sit NW kSl.W so ’’Bests sts Ju ‘^11 To the editor: Withjust a few months shy ofone year as a trustee, I can speak with some authority and knowledge now on the “inner” workings of the Maple Valley Board of Education. Just as I had surmized in the past as a spectator, I am still of the opinion that there are trustees on that board that view themselves as “representatives” of the administration instead of the taxpayers, parents and students. Several meetings ago, the Finance Committee requested the rest of the trustees submit suggestions pertaining to possible budget cuts and-or other ways to save money. With pencil in hand, I sat down and proceeded to make suggested cuts that would not directly effect the quality of education or tran­ sportation of our school children. Among these suggested cuts were (1)- eliminate payment of all professional dues and workshops for administrators, saving about $2,500; (2) closing the ad­ ministration building (there are three or four classrooms in the high school not being used), saving about $3,000 in i Sk Nashville News, continued— ys W..5:30loM< NMren(i)iKler5)...FREE NidbenyFv IURSDAYNIGHI heat, lights and base phone costs, and (3) some possible concessions in upcoming administrative contracts. Words alone could not describe the immediate reaction and comments from some trustees and school employees following my recommenda t ions. To some, it was said that my motives for suggesting the closing of the ad­ ministration building were purely “political” and not economics! My reply was, how can you say a savings of at least $3,000 annually is not economical? This is only one issue of many that cause me to wonder who some of my fellow trustees are truly representing. Again, I say to you, the only way to actually know what goes on at board meetings is to BE THERE! Don’t take my word or anyone else's, take the time to care — attend! Please. Thank you, Dave Hawkins Trustee Maple Valley Board ofEducation To the Editor: Thanks to the following: - Sharon Bishop and Pam Godbey and their cub scouts for coloring and boiling eggs - Business people and employees for helping hide eggs. - Jim and Janet Jarman for hauling the eggs and also helping hide them. - Party Down for the use of their intercom system. - And all the businesses for donating to make the egg hunt a success even tho the weather didn’t cooperate.

Our goal is to make good marriages better and in the process keep them from going bad. In this day of preventive medicine we believe couples should apply this theory to their marriages.

Whether or not her commonly remembered by work replaced an earlier present-day senior citizens school song is unknown, but were written by student most oldtimers can recall no precedent. Zaida Keyes. School spirit at Nashville High was sparked by songs praising the colors of blue and yellow (later gold). Seen with the school banner are the three boys who along with six girls comprised the Class of 1909. From left are twins Eltie and Elzie Clifford and Orlan Boston (who is living now in Arizona). This photo may have been taken a year or two prior to Miss Keyes' composition of the high school song. Rather lengthy and flowery in context, the lyrics written by Miss Keyes were used primarily at formal occasions and became ac­ cepted as the true “Alma Mater” tune for NHS, though “fight” songs of a later era may have been more popular. The lines written by Miss Keyes frequently were printed on programs of school events — particularly alumni banquets — even as recently as the late 1950s. This apparently was done in an effort to prompt graduates to recall words of a song they found difficult to commit to memory. Shortened versions of the 32-line lyrics usually were featured. It appears that attempts were being made to edit the piece as early as 1931, the year that the high school newspaper, the In­ formant, made its debut. In the first issue of the paper on October 12, words of the school song were published but eight lines of the chorus were dropped. About 20 years earlier, the complete piece as written by Miss Keyes appeared in a printed program for a high school concert held at the opera house. Those words, as recorded then, were: “Oh, we are loyal scholars of the N.H.S., We’re proud of this you just bet yes. Now, if you will be patient, We will try to show, Just why it is we’re SPECIALNOTICE! Beginning Sunday, April 17 Kelley's Variety, again... SUNDAYS 11 A.M. to 4 P.M.

Main — NASHVILLE PHONE: 852-9747 Nashville High School students were proud to sing a completely original "fight" song composed by music teacher Ennis Fleming after his arrival in Nashville in the mid-1930s. Few other schools in the area could boast that both words and music of their song were written locally. Did this unidentified Nashville High musical group perhaps render a version of the school song to which student Zaida Keyes wrote lyrics sometime before 1913? This undated photo is of approximately the same era. Perhaps our readers can pinpoint the date and occasion. bound to say That we love it so. There’s many an act of courtesy That’s passed about each day, Among the faithful faculty And the students, bright and gay. So, now you see we still believe In th’ chivalry of old And do not let it wither up, Grow stagnant, dead or cold.” CHORUS: “Oh, our colors are the yellow and the blue, We think them fine, and honest now, don’t you? We like to see them floating up on high When we are passing by. So come and join us in a song of praise .We now do raise and will in future days. We know our love will never die For those two colors up in the sky Which represent Old Nashville High.” “In future, we will look upon the time spent here, As days so dear, full of cheer, We’ll never forget the many pleasures both great and small; It’s very hard for us to name them all: Of course there’s been the usual trials but we can’t complain, For everyone enjoys the sunshine better after rain. You see we have a reason now for singing forth our praise, Of the dear old N.H.S. and our high school day.” Mrs. Clarence (Bunny Mead) Shaw of Nashville, a 1911 graduate of NHS and later a teacher in the local school system, recalls Zaida Keyes writing the school song lyrics. “We all thought she did such a wonderful job,” said Mrs. Shaw. The words were set to a traditional tune. In 1931, when Miss Olith Wood (later Mrs. Samuel Hamilton) first came to Nashville to become one of only two women teachers then on the faculty^ NHS students were singing pep songs based on various college themes. She recalls that one was to the tune of “On, Wisconsin”. Some time after music teacher Ennis Fleming arrived in Nashville from Grand Marais in the mid1930s, the need was felt for a “fight” song which would be truly Nashville’s own. Pep rallies were popular thanks to the increasing availability of autos throughout the 1920s. In earlier days, trains had offered the sole means of transportation to “away” games and this often meant that only the team and a handful of supporters traveled to those events. A graduate of the University of Michigan, Fleming is credited with composing both the words and the music to the new NHS “fight” song still remembered by students of the World War II era. Some recall the pride they felt at having a uniquely original school song — not something based on a college tune. Virtually no other school in the area could lay claim to a totally original composition. Although no published record of Fleming’s work seems to be readily available, memory recalls it thus: “Hip!

Let this our motto be: Vic-tor-y! “Through all kinds of weather We will jog along to­ gether. True and loyal, We shall ever be.” By the 1950s, Fleming’s piece had passed into history — replaced by a copycat version of Michigan State’s “fight” song. Although the lyrics were tailored to NHS, the melody was pure Spartan: “Tigers roar and score some more. We’re out to win this game. We will cheer our team right on For victory is our aim. “Rah! Rah! Rah! Blue and gold our colors gay Stand out among the rest. Fight, fight, come on team fight! Victory for N-H-S!” �I he Maple Valley News. Nashville.

She and several volunteers hid the eggs starting at noon Saturday in a light rain and had just completed the hour­ long task when a deluge complete with thunder and lightning inundated the area. By three o’clock, the rain had tapered off a bit and approximately 100 children — about half the turnout for last year’s hunt — were on hand for the start of the contest. “They braved the weather and sure won a lot of nice prizes,” said Mrs. Joseph. Since there were 120 of the hard-boiled eggs marked for cash awards totaling $195 plus several plastic eggs entitling finders to special merchandise prizes, most of the children came away with rewards for braving the weather. One child earned a special prize for collecting the most eggs — 120 — and another claimed a $10 reward for finding a special miniature egg. The event was organized by Carl’s Market, who furnished the 3,600 eggs, and supported by the Chamber of Commerce. Many local merchants and business people donated merchandise or money to provide prizes for the youngsters.

While the homeowner is distracted, one of the gypsies sneaks into a bedroom or other place in the house where money or jewelry, etc., are kept. Koetje said suspiscious persons should be reported immediately to the local police. “We want to talk to them right away,” he noted, ad­ ding that gypsies do not like being asked for iden­ tification and will flee as rapidly as possible if that seems likely to happen. The gypsies, he explained, do not like being arrested because that means if they are detained in jail they will have to “sit in a white man’s chair or sleep in a white man’s bed” which, ac­ cording to tradition, will result in them being ostracized from their clan for six months following their release. “Gypsies have been making a living by stealing for a thousand years,” ob­ served Koetje. “They claim by Susan Hinckley This is the time of year for gypsies to make their annual appearance, warned acting Nashville police chief Sgt. Gene Koetje at a Thursday meeting of the local Chamber of Commerce. He told merchants at­ tending the meeting at Comerica Bank that the typical procedure is for gypsies to enter a business place and create a noisy disturbance in one par tof the store to distract the clerk’s attention while one of the gypsy band rifles the cash drawer. He noted that this trick had been used in a local business place in recent years and that bands of gypsies also have preyed upon local senior citizens in their own homes using a similar mode. Sgt. Koetje said the gypsies often gain ad­ mittance to a private residence on a ruse, such as needing a drink ofwater, etc. The diversion tactics then are employed much in the *BQ«BlB#j. ’"“““kataDiital '‘‘•fe'faj •fe'fajesWipihi *eerew °ski rater rewHuk * tat told tap sta|i K»*je biter Io EttrGrii ittapnorta DBK«erar|ighlol^J a Id stet WW (re •oct 1** by VlogewnSU Nashville’s * >ikjeiBKM.ioW C-Store SPRING t decree pre^a -- .^--5 ol lire fra I.

At the meeting Sgt. Koetje exhibited a booklet of Criminal Intelligence Bulletins which showed a collection of “mug shots” of gypsies who have been arrested by various police agencies. In another matter, Koetje told the Nashville Chamber members to be wary of solicitors who come into town and call on merchants for donations, claiming affiliation with national or state law enforcement agencies. “Don’t give to anybody unless you check first with the local police,” advised Koetje. “A lot of (solicitors) claim they have the backing of the local police. They don’t.” Koetje said a group of that nature came through Nash­ ville a few months ago on a “coloring book” campaign and are now in California. He said he is not trying to discourage legitimate solicitors, adding, “Some are legitimate but not everyone is.” Koetje said he and Barry County Sheriff David Wood would review those solicitors who claim to be affiliated with various police agencies. Also at Thursday’s meeting, Koetje asked for Chamber support of an upcoming bike safety rodeo, set for May 14. He said local scouts are organizing the event and it is hoped that local donations will finance a project to license bicycles in Nashville at no cost to the owners. Small metal, numbered plates will correspond with registration records kept at the local police station to facilitate tracing the cycle in case it is stolen. Koetje said there have been three larcenies of bikes already this year in Nashville. The metal tags will be available to all bike owners, regardless of age.

Nashville, Tuesday, April 12, 1983 — Page8 Juice Newton and Glen Campell are among names coming to Sandyland by Susan Hinckley “There will be no better entertainment bargain this summer than at Sandyland Park,” predicts Lonny Kienutske, new owner of the 41-acre entertainment complex located on M-79 at the west edge of Nashville. Kienutske recently acquired the facility from George “Sandy” Salyers and has booked several top name country- western music stars for the 1983 season. Among those are Glen Campbell, Jerry Reed, Juice Newton, Slim Whitman, Tammy Wynette and Jerry Lee Lewis. Salyers founded the park in 1978 as an arena for summer performances by nationally known country, bluegrass and gospel singers. A combination stage and dressing room building, hillside bleacher seating for 5,000, picnic facilities and a 100 space campground site are among the features of the park. Kienutske currently is expanding the stage by 24 feet to meet the requirements of some top performers and also is remodeling the stars* lounge and dressing room areas to make them more com­ fortable and attractive. Through extensive ad­ vertising - including spots on five TV channels and four radio stations - he hopes to improve attendance at the park. “We hope we’re going to turn it around,” said Kienutske, who has established an advertising budget for each show of more than twice the amount spent on ads during the entire 1982 season. “There will be a lot more people , in the state of Michigan who know where Nashville is,” says Kienutske, who has changed the legal name of the com­ plex to Sandyland Park in Nashville of the North. He predicts an attendance of 6 to 7 thousand per show. “That’s probably more people than have ever been in Nashville at one time,” said Kienutske. He noted that other local businesses stores, restaurants, gas stations, etc. should also benefit from the influx of visitors. Opening the season on May 8 with a Mother’s Day show will be Slim Whitman. Kienutske has shows set for every other Sunday throughout the summer except for July and August when there will be three shows in each month. The scheduled season ends on August 28 with the ap­ pearance of Jerry Lee Lewis and Carl Perkins. *¥¥***¥**¥*¥¥¥¥•¥*¥*¥¥¥¥¥**¥¥*¥¥¥*¥¥¥¥¥*¥¥¥¥¥¥¥ Agatch these ‘Values!

JUDY BROWN Business Manager �The Maple Valley News, Nashville, Tuesday, April 12, 1983 — Page 10 Road improvements, township lot topics in Maple Grove by Susan Hinckley Improvements of roads and sale of the old township hall site were main topics of consideration at the annual meeting of Maple Grove Township held Saturday afternoon, March 26. A new fiscal year budget of $85,000 was approved by the board, said Supervisor Monte Allen. Road improvements received an allocation of $18,000 with most of it ear­ marked for resurfacing Butler Road. “The balance will go into upgrading and leveling gravel roads,” said Allen. An allocation of ap­ proximately $5,000 in federal revenue sharing funds also will go into the road project, and Allen pointed out that Barry County also will contribute $5,000 to the road project through a cost­ sharing program being implemented in the county. It was agreed at the annual meeting to dispose of the township- owned lot in Maple Grove Center upon which the old township hall was located. That ancient building was razed by a 313 REED ST.

The new structure was built with the aid of federal monies allocated in a Community Development Block Grant to the greater Nashville area. “The lot (in Maple Grove Center) is of no use to the township,” said Allen. “Citizens feel we should go ahead and dispose of it.” He said advertisements for bids on the site will be placed soon. No salary increases for township officials were in­ cluded in the new budget, which allowed $7,300 for the supervisor- assessor office and $3,800 each for the of­ fices of clerk and treasurer. These amounts include salaries and expenses. The two trustees each receive $600 annual salary. About 13 adults were in the audience at the annual meeting, reported Allen.

TOTAL OF CATEGORY ALL FUNDS Roads..................................$29,688.12 General Government.. 53,684.00 Fire Protection............... 10,100.00 Ambulance Service ...... 3,700.00 SHARON BISHOP Castleton Township Clerk plants that would not have time to mature here if they were grown from seed. , Whether you buy plants or grow your own is a decision you have to make based on considerations of the pros and cons. Hugh Price, Extension horticulture specialist at Michigan State University, points out that the big ad­ vantages of growing tranlants are the wide choice of varities available in seed and the convenience of having plants exactly when you want them. “People who produce transplants commercially tend to concentrate on a few popular varities of each crop,” Price notes. “Seed catalogs offer a much wider selection.” If you plant the seeds at the appropriate time and the seedlings grow well for you, you can have transplants that arejust the right size for planting in the garden atjust the right time. You can have cool-weather crops such as broccoli and cabbage to plant early in the spring and in midsummer for a fall crop, as well as warm­ weather crops such as tomatoes for planting after the danger of frost is past. Producing high quality transplants isn’t always easy. It takes time, energy, work and certain investment in seeds, containers, a sterile growing medium and lights. Supplemental light is a necessity unless you can grow plants in a cold-frame or greenhouse, Price says. Even a sunny south window will not provide enough light for good plant growth. Plants grown in poor light will be weak and spindly. Containers need not be fancy as long as they’re clean and they drain well, he adds. The growing medium is much more important. Price recommends using one of the peat-vermiculite growing media that have come on the market in recent years. Though these materials may seem exnsive, using them eliminates a lot of bother and greatly reduces the chance that you’ll lose seedlings to damping-off, a soil-borne fungus disease. Temperature is not usually as critical as light for growing transplants, but very cool temperatures, particularly, can limit the types of plants you can grow. A cool basement that grows broccoli, cabbage, onions and other cool-weather crops very well may be too chilly for warm-weather crops such as tomatoes and pep­ pers.

While casualty figures for all other age groups dropped 10 percent over the past two years, casualties for children under four years ofage declined by an average of 35 percent. Several traffic accidents occurred since last April, when the law went into effect, where youngsters in car seats were uninjured while adults who were not wearing seat belts were eitherkilled or seriously injured in the same car.

MICHIGAN’S BILLBOARDS - While the Michigan High­ way Advertising Act of 1972 has helped curtail the use of billboards along Michigan roads and highways, the Department of Transportation reports that there are 12,300 signs along 9,500 miles of state highways. And, in the past year, 700 illegal signs were removed by state highway personnel, but another 700 legal signs have also been erected. Under the terms of the Act, anyone wishing to put up a sign must get a permit from the Department of Tran­ sportation. Signs can only be erected in business and commercial areas, subject to size, lighting and spacing limitations. Billboards that appear along some interstate highways are exempt from the law if they were in place prior to 1972, according to federal law. IRA DEDUCTIONS ADD TO BUDGET PROBLEMS Michigan State Treasury officials are concerned that they underestimated the number of Michigan taxpayers who would participate in Individual Retirement Accounts (IRA). Because a single person can deduct as much as $2,000 from his or her income tax, or $4,000 if married and filing jointly, the state faces a $75 million shortfall in anticipated revenue. In addition, higher property taxes have led to higher property tax credits, furthering the budget problems of the state. ANTI-CHOKING POSTERS GET COMMITTEE NOD The House Judiciary .Committee has approved legislation that would require food service establishments to display posters explaining anti-choking techniques for dislodging obstacles from a person’s throat. The posters, provided by the American Red Cross, would be posted in restaurant kitchens, at no expense to the public. Arizona passed similar legislation and has experienced a 45 percent drop in deaths from choking. Nearly 4,000 Americans die from choking on their food each year. The bill now needs approval from both the House and Senate, and the Governor’s signature, before it becomes law.

Agri-Flow MAPLE VALLEY CONCRETE PRODUCTS (517) 852-1900 South Side of Nashville on M-66 ’ Fire and burns can’t happen without heat, so it stands to reason that the fire­ wise homeowner takes special safety precautions in that veritable menagerie of heating devices and hot objects, the kitchen. Here’s how to make your kitchen fire and burn safe - for yourself and for the little ones. Don’t hold a child in your lap while drinking coffee. Keep the tyke a safe distance away while you pump yourself full of caffeine, lest a sudden movement by the child jostle your hand, spilling hot liquid and scalding the little one Speaking of little ones, if you have a toddler, put away that tablecloth for a few years. The child might tug on the tablecloth, pulling heavy objects, hot foods or scalding liquids down on himself or herself. Appliance cords should be coiled and tied with twist ties so they don’t dangle over countertops. Dangling cords can catch in cabinet doors or attract the tugs of a child, upsetting the appliance and causing burns or injury. Always use potholders when carrying pots and pans off the stove. To carry a pot whose handles are so hot you can barely hold them is to invite a fumble and a deadly, burning spill. If you have children, keep Stop smoking clinic to be held at Maple Valley The Lakewood - Maple Valley Adult Education program will hold a Stop Smoking Clinic and a Weight Control Clinic Monday, May 23 at Maple Valley High School. The Stop Smoking Clinic will be held at 6 p.m. and the Weight Control Clinic will be held at 8:30 p.m. The seminar leader will be from Self-Psych, Inc. These sessions were designed by their president, Jim Hoke, and in the past three years have helped more than 35,000 persons reprogram their subconscious minds tn agree with their intellectual self­ improvement goals. Sessions include a mid­ session money-back offer and a hypnotic conditioning cassette tape for home reinforcement. The fee for each session will be $30. If you’d like to stop s m o k i n.g without grouchiness, nervousness and stress, this hypnosis session is for you.

The person seeking this re­ ward will not be disclosed. The information will be in­ vestigated by the Barry Coun­ ty Sheriff Dept. If you have such information, please call from 4 p.m. to 6 p.m. Diily. 616-948-8986 Ask for Ro.n Harriman, mgr. them in a highchair or playpen or behind a gate and out of the kitchen whenever you cook. Keep pot handles turned in when cooking. A handle that dangles over the front of the stove could be jostled by an adult hip or, worse, tugged by a young hand, causing a scald burn. Don’t store cookies and similar goodies above the stove. It’s easy to touch a hot burner reaching across the stove - little ones may ac­ tually try to climb onto the stove surface in search of sweets. For the same reason, it’s wise to avoid garments with balloon sleeves, hanging tassels or other loose fitting features when cooking which are more likely to touch a burner and ignite. Speaking of ignition, where have you mounted your kitchen fire ex­ tinguisher? If it’s above the stove, move it elsewhere; otherwise, if a pan fire occurs, you’ll have to reach through the flames to get the extinguisher! Of course, another way to put out a pan fire is to cover the burning pan with its lid, smothering the flames. Never try to carry a burning pan outside. Ifyou don’t spill flaming liquid on yourself, you’re liable to ignite woodwork, curtains and upholstery as you rush to the door with your flaming burden. Finally, know what to do if your clothing catches fire: drop to the floor and roll to put the fire out. Treat this, or any burn, by cooling the burn with cold water this removes residual heat in the tissues that cause further burning. Cover the burn with a sterile pad or clean sheet never with grease or butter and seek medical attention.

April 19, 1983 Muddy roads made Grandma's coronation adventurous ‘83 Syrup queen is third generation of festival royalty By Elaine Gilbert Traveling to the Ver­ montville Syrup festival this weekend will be a much easier trek for Amy Jo Cole than it was for her grand­ mother 43 years ago. Amy, the 1983 Vermontville Maple Syrup Queen, will have all paved roads on which to drive to her coronation. However, transportation wasn’t that easy when her grandmother, Arline Hokanson, was a member of the first syrup festival court in 1940. “We lived out in the country and that spring we had real muddy roads. The roads were so muddy that we could hardly get there (to the festival),” said Mrs. Hokanson as she recalled memories of the first festival. That adventurous trip was made in a 1928 Dodge, she laughs. This year’s queen, Amy, has the distinction of being the unprecedented third generation of a family to serve on the festival court. Amy’s mother, Paula Cole, was the alternate queen for the 1962 syrup festival. There have been a number of changes in the festival agenda since Mrs. Hokanson and Mrs. Cole were part of the royalty. When they were on the queen’s court, the festival was just a one-day affair. The syrup festival has since expanded to a threeday line-up of activities. In 1940, “the festival was more simplified,” said Mrs. Hokanson. “There was no carnival and in the early days they use to serve pancakes, in the old high school gym (which has since been torn down). “There were two dances (during the first festival). They didn’t have a parade the first year. Dances were the big thing,” she said. “I can still remeber the suit I wore the night of the crowning in the old high school gym in Ver­ montville,” said Mrs. Hokanson. “It was a plum suit that I had made in 4-H.” Mrs. Cole said two dances — one in the Opera House and another in the high school — were held during the 1962 festival. She said a small-scaled carnival was set-up in town but there wasn’t a “kiddies parade” during her year on the court. There was a grand parade, however; and Mrs. Cole recalls that the festival royalty rode in convertibles down Main St. When daughter, Amy, is featured in the 2 p.m. parade this Saturday, she and members of the court will ride through town on a decorated float. Amy will be crowned by last year’s queen, Beth Heald. > Mrs. Cole said Michigan’s Lieutenant Governor growned the queen in 1962. There have been several different methods for selecting the Vermontville queen over the years. In 1940, Mrs. Hokanson said the winner was deter­ mined by the candidate who received the most votes from customers who purchased merchandise at local stores. Each customer “would get so many votes per dollar (they spent at a store), she said. The customer could designate which candidate would get their votes. Amy was selected last February by a panel of outof-town judges who in­ terviewed the five finalists at a public gathering in the local Congregational Church. The finalists had been selected previously by a festival committee. When Mrs. Cole was the alternate queen in 1962, the winner was selected on a Grand Rapids TV show. She recalls that the queen was picked by Winnifred Olds whb had a show on Channel 8. The syrup festival can­ didates “sat around a table and she (Ms. Olds) in­ terviewed us and did the judging,” said Mrs. Cole. This weekend, however, thoughts of past festivals will fade in the background as Mrs. Cole and Mrs. Hokanson and their husbands focus on the present when Amy will reign as queen of Vermontville’s festivites. The busy schedule starts ' Three generations of festival royalty in the Hokanson-Cole clan — 'eagerly await next weekend's salute to Vermontville-produced maple syrup.

Serving their first session on the board were newcomer Richard Chaffee, Jr. and former trustee Gerald Kent, both of whom won election in March. Incumbent trustee Forrest Babcock also was reelected in that race. All will serve two-year terms which commenced April 1. For the new council year, Hughes named the following committees: Dept, of Public Works Gerald Kent, chairman; George Frith and Richard Chaffee; Police Forrest Babcock, chairman; Carl Tobias and Linda Frith; Finance Carl Tobias, chairman; George Frith and Gerald Kent; Parks, Library and Lights - Linda Frith, chairman; George Frith and Richard Chaffee; Policy George Frith, chairman; Carl Tobias and Richard Chaffee; Ordinance and Zoning - Richard Chaffee, chairman; Linda Frith and Gerald Kent. Hughes appointed Trustee Carl Tobias to serve as president pro-tem; Sgt. Gene Koetje as acting police chief; and Leon Frith to be director of public works. Named by Hughes as representatives to the local fire and ambulance boards were Linda Frith and Forrest Babcock. Representing the village on the Transfer-Recycling Board will be Carl Tobias and Warren Travoli, the latter not being a council member. The board of Putnam Park will be chaired by Forrest Babcock with Carl Tobias and Warren Travoli serving as members. The Lakeview Cemetery Board will be chaired by Linda Frith with former village clerk Ada Skedgell Yaudes serving as secretary-treasurer and John Mason, a former village trustee, as a trustee of the cemetery board. Hughes’ listing also reaffirmed the current membership of appointed officials to the village’s Planning Commission and the Zoning Board of Appeals. William Kipp chairs the Planning Commission with Gerald Kent, Mary Slag, Nelson Brumm, Gerald Shoup and Warren Travoli on the board. The Zoning Board of Appeals is chaired by Carl Tobias with Gaylord Gray, Lonny Kienutske, Sharlot Sours and Ron Bracy serving as members. President Hughes pointed out that there currently are two openings on the Zoning Board of Appeals and one on the Planning Commission, and asked council help in seeking individuals interested in filling those vacancies. In other business Thur­ sday the council: — Approved action against 12 named individuals in Small Claims Division of 56th District Court for non­ payment of water bills totaling approximately $840. Hughes said the 12 comprise about one-third of the total number of persons whom the council plans to sue in Small Claims Court for water delinquency. Six new cases per week will be submitted to the court in Hastings. The suits, he explained, are the first step in a procedure to collect the bills which, if still unpaid after legal action, will be added to taxes assessed against the property. The suits are part of a delinquency crackdown enacted by the council last Continued on page 18— IN THIS ISSUE • Spring Sports Preview...Pages 6-8 • State Historic Marker Dedicated at Putnam Library...Page 20 • Plus informative advertisements from local merchants welcoming you to the Vermontville Maple Syrup Festival �The Maple Valley News.

Now you are groping at straws with your penny pinching saving methods. “We thought we could count on you to get the teachers’ salaries under control, but during your first year, their salaries went up a certain percent and next year they are scheduled to get another large percent increase. “If I count right, we have over 70 teachers — next year about half of them, thanks to the increase, will be making $23,000-$25,000 for showing up six hours a day for nine months with vacation time off. Do you realize that at least half of the 70 teachers will be getting nearly a $2,000 raise next year? It is simple to figure you take the amount they make this year times the percent of increase and add it on. “You talk about saving $2,500 here or there — when you are giving away $2,000 times at least 30 teachers. Do you see our point?? Your editorial sounded so silly to us. It is like you are closing the barn door after the horse is out. Your penny pinching plans are ridiculous. We will not be supporting you in the future. Yes, we still will smile and say “Hi, Dave”, but we think you let the horse out a year ago when you got in there and didn’t prevent the large percentage in­ crease.” I feel obliged, as an elected official, to answer all questions and comments directed at me concerning our school district; however, this particular letter has no signature or return address and the only way to respond is through this paper. Thank you for your cooperation.

Wrote Meade: “I have greatly enjoyed the two memory articles on Nash­ ville High School in the early days. When the first one came along about two weeks ago, I started humming the old high school song as I drove up to Oakland University in the morning. Most of the words of the first verse and the chorus of Zaida Keyes’ alma mater song for NHS came back to me. I meant to write to you then but about a week before Easter I had a bout with gout in my left foot and ankle which took my mind off other things until medication got it under control. Then this morning, along came the April 12 issue of the Maple Valley News with your memory article on high school songs. It was nice to see the old song in print. The later fight songs of course were after my time. I started high school in September 1916. I remember that the first verse and chorus of the song were written on the blackboard on the west side of the high school room. All of us freshmen were in­ structed to write down the words of the first verse and chorus and memorize them in a week. Of course that was not many years after Miss Keyes wrote the song and as I remember there was lots of school spirit in those days. I’ve never forgotten the song even though I’ve learned a couple of college songs and one high school song — that of Kalamazoo Central, where I taught for many years, since- I left Nash­ ville.” Meade added that school songs don’t seem to be emphasized so much any more. He said that if Oakland University has a school song, he has never heard it in the 16 years he has been associated with the school. “Too bad,” he concluded. “School songs add something.” On another but similar topic, Meade commented: “The picture of the old high school that you ran with the article on songs is an ex­ cellent one. It looks just as I remember it at the time I started there. Several class pictures were taken along the east wall of the building. I remember, too, that sometime during the first fall in high school, some of us boys were kicking a football back and forth on the playground east of the school. The ball landed in the The Maple Valley News, Nashville Tuesday, April 19, 1983 — Page 5 eavestrough of the school. Some of the boys went up where the belfrey was located, tied a rope around the waist of one of the boys — I believe it was Merle Vance — and while the rest of the boys held the rope, he edged his way slowly down to the edge of the roof, retrieved the football and returned to safety.” Larry Hawblitz of Battle Creek, son of Mrs. Fern Hawblitz of Nashville, was slated to run in the Boston Marathon on Monday, April 18, and we hope to have a report on finish time for next week’s column. A 1955 graduate of Nashville High School, Larry has run the 26.5-mile Boston race for the past three years, and finished in 1982 with a time of three hours and eight minutes and 16 seconds. Yesterday’s race was his fifth marathon. Hundreds of runners participate in the annual event at Boston.

TAYLOR �The Maple Valley News, Nashville, Tuesday, April 19, 1983 — Page 6 Maple Valley Spring Sports PREVIEW: Baseball team has talent to challenge league champions Maple Valley’s baseball team is off and running this spring with wins in its first two games. The Lions knocked off Lakewood and beat Caledonia 9-8 latest game. The Maple Valley according to coach Lenz, will be strong in its team, Larry up the middle something for which all coaches strive. Lion coach Larry Lenz greeted only five lettermen back from his 1982 team, but Maple Valley baseball (front row, left to right) Kim Organ, Jeff Starring, Bob Brumm, Marty Martin, Mickey Mahon-, Scot Lenz (second row) Richard Beck, Scott Whitmore, John Myers, Luke Potter, Eric Brown, Ryan Trowbridge, Kim Gillig (back row) Tim Ramey, Greg Lenz, Randy Joostbern, Tony Dunkelburger, Jeff Garber and Tom DeGroot. Lenz hopes those players will enable Maple Valley to tie for the first Southern Michigan 1 Athletic Association baseball title. “I definitely think we’ll be better than 13-8 (last year’s mark),” said Lenz. “For one thing our pitching will be better.” Heading the pitching staff will be Jeff Starring. The junior righthander compiled a 4-2 record last year in only two thirds of a season. Starring’s battery mate will be senior Tony Dunkelburger. Dunkelburger was an all­ league catcher last season as a junior. Holding down second base will be senior Bob Brumm while junior Marty Martin will handle the centerfield chores. The final returning let­ terwinner is senior first baseman Tom Ramey. Dunkelburger, Brumm and Martin all topped the .300 mark last season while the five players will occupy key positions such as second base, shortstop, pitcher, and center field on this year’s squad. Ramey hit .425 while playing part time. Lenz will be counting on a senior, Mickey Mahon, to handle the shortstop responsibilities. Mahon is out for baseball for the first time. “He could help us,” said Lenz. Lenz believes the Lion defense should be sound with all that experience returning up the middle. As for team speed, Lenz said the Lions should be improved even though it won’t be a major part of the Maple Valley offense. It will be hitting, though, that Lenz hopes can carry the Lions to a diamond title. “Potentially, we have some very good hitters,” he said. Lenz isn’t sure what to expect entering a new league for the first time, but he said expects Maple Valley and Pennfield to vie for the title.

Twelve returning letterwinners boost Lion track team If experience is any yardstick, of a successful athletic season, Maple Valley’s boys track team should have an excellent spring. No fewer than 12 lettermen dot the Maple Valley roster, including seven sophomores. Lion coach Jim Horn said his team could finish as high as second place in the sweepstakes for the first Southern Michigan Athletic Association track cham­ pionship. “It isn’t out of reach,” admitted Horn. “Depending on how well- they come through, we could make a run at second place.” Horn will rely on four seniors in Mike Gurd (miletwo mile), Gary King (sprinter), Ryan Halsey (sprinter), and Tony Reid (sprinter). Bill Grinage (middle distances) is the lone returning junior while the sophomore class includes Robert Brown (sprinter), Gary Reid (sprinter-pole), Jim Simons (middle distances), Ken Hamilton (middle distances), Jeff Hamilton (pole vault), Jeff Bahs (sprinter) and Pat Ressesguie (shot put). Despite having 12 let­ termen back, Horn said the inexperienced members of his team are a key. “If the ones develop who don’t have any experience, we should be okay,” said Horn. Horn said the sprints, 440 relay, 880 relay and distances will be the team’s strong suits. He said the high jump and high hurdle departments are “a little thin” right now. Horn expects alwaystough Olivet to be the team to beat in the SMAA this spring. “The new league should offer more competition, but I think we can hold our own,” said Hom.

Maple Valley girls track “We have a lot of freshmen, coach Charlotte Williams is but what has hurt us is that in that situation this spring. several older girls didn’t go Williams will have to rely out for track this year.” Williams will count on on 14 freshmen if the Lions are going to win more than seniors Denise Snowden (long jump-440),and Kelly the two meets of last year. Williams sajd the freshmen Todd (shot-discus) and juniors Paula Steinbrecher will help. Junior Luke.Potter pitched 2 and two thirds innings of shutout relief and delivered a two run double to drive in the winning runs as Maple Valley defeated Lakewood on Monday, April llr 10-7.

Several sophomores to watch are Lynette Williams (hurdles, relays), Marcie Joppie (relays, hurdles), Sheila Staskus (relays) and Doreen Cook (long jump, relays). Williams said her team will be particular lystrong in the 440 relay, shot put, and hurdles. Weak spots include the 440 and 880 races. The SMAA will be tough and Williams doesn’t yet know how her team will stack up in the league. “We have a good team, it’s just that they are young,” she said. Maple Valley’s J.V. baseball team lost its home opener to Lakewood, 14-5. Maple Valley out hit Lakewood 11 to 8 but 8 M.V. errors and 12 runners left on base were the deciding factors in the loss.

They came out over vacation and practiced,” he said. “You couldn’t ask more, but it s just going to take time for them to develop. Ricketts said he thinks the team will be adequate in the field, while also being adept in it’s baserunning and hitting abilities. Pitching, however, is going to be a problem. “We don’t have an out­ standing pitcher,” he said. “If we can develop by mid­ season we could be in good shape.” Ricketts expects Bellevue and Pennfield to be the top teams in the SMAA this season.

As for trying to keep up with the latest fads in clothing, Mrs. Merrill told the girls that “trend dressing is fun and exciting” but only “if you can afford to keep buying new things.” Throughout the presen­ tation she pointed out that it is much more economical and practical to select a basic wardrobe including a good suit in a neutral color that can be dressed up or down with a variety of blouses, sweaters, belts, scarves and jewelry. At the conclusion of the show, Mrs. Merrill was presented with a floral centerpiece by Mrs. Lingholm on behalf of the Woman’s Club. Refreshments of cookies, coffee and punch were served i in th the cafeteria sd ft i from a table beautifully decorated in shades of burgandy and silver representing the chosen colors of the Class of ’83. Rose centerpieces for the individual tables came from The Flower Attic in Bellevue. As a keepsake of the event, each senior girl was presented with a silver and burgandy floral hair clip from the Woman’s Clubs.

VERMONTVILLE CEPACOL ANACIN 3 TABLETS 12 OZ. by Susan Hinckley Michigan’s 1983 White Cane Queen, 18 year old Katie Mawby, and her seeing eye dog, Molly, made an appearance Thursday at Fuller Street School in Nash­ ville to help promote sight projects sponsored by Lions Clubs International. Miss Mawby’s appearance was arranged by the local Lions organization in con­ junction with a film shown to Nashville elementary students telling the story of how leader dogs for the blind are trained at the school at Rochester, Michigan, largely supported by Lions Club contributions. The presentation was a kick-off for the local White Cane Drive which will be conducted in Nashville April 29-30. Phil Howard, past president of the local club and a past zone chairman, had charge of Thursday’s program. He spoke to the combined audience of students from Fuller Street and Kellogg schools. He told of the purpose of white canes and laws regarding their use and other aspects pertaining to sightlessness. “One can go blind anytime during their life due to injury or disease,” Howard told the children. “Except for the sight factor, a blind person is just like anyone elese. Being blind isn’t necessarily a termination of life.” He cited Miss Mawby as a perfect example. A 1982 graduate of Rockford High School, she lost her sight due to optic neuritis at the end of her sophomore year. She is now a freshman majoring in physical therapy at Nazareth College in Kalamazoo and is an “A” student. While still in high school, she earned six college credits. Miss Mawby enjoys swimming, golfing, and skiing on water, cross country and downhill. She lives off campus in an apartment “so Molly can have more room. A two and one half year old Golden Retreiver, Molly, her Continued on next page Molly, a seeing-eye dog trained at the Lions-supported Leader Dog School for the Blind at Rochester, lies patiently at the feet of her owner, 1983 Michigan White Cane Queen Katie Mawby, as she addresses students Thursday at Fuller School.

The leader dogs and blind candidates for ownership are carefully matched. “Dogs have personalities the same as humans,” noted Howard, in explaining that compatability is important between the dog and owner. In a question and answer period following the film, Miss Mawby, with Molly lying contentedly at her feet, fielded a variety of questions from the young students. She told them of the rigorous training dogs un­ dergo at the school and how the animals must be very intelligent. “For example, dogs-raised at home are trained not to go into the streets,” she said. “But for a leader dog, that’s exactly what they must learn to do.” Potential leader dogs are donated by private in­ dividuals. The children were surprised to learn that one of their own teachers - Steve Slag - had raised a dog and donated it to the Rochester school. Only a percentage of those donated prove qualified for leader dog service. Miss Mawby was chosen as 1983 White Cane Queen by a committee of Lions Club r representatives from throughoutt Michigan. Selection is based on scholastic ability, activities, etc. As queen, Miss Mawby will be making appearance at festivals, parades, etc., throughout the year, but her real role, explains Howard, “is to be an ambassador between the Lions and the general public to ‘preach the gospel’ about Lions sight programs.” At the conclusion of Thursday’s event, Howard presented the queen with two pins from the local Lions Club. President Hugh Overholt gave her a gallon of Nashville maple syrup, “so you’ll stay as sweet as your already are.” Welcome to VERMONTVILLE’S MAPLE SYRUP Cold Beer • Hot Sandwiches Groceries • Picnic Supplies Miller Ice Cream • Snacks Pop • Fast Service Full Party Line — FAST SERVICE— ACTION-ADS ^^InsOii.

Pilbeam has just put up a very fine specimen of bald eagle, which was recently shot on the Straits of Mackinaw, and sent to John Graves by a friend. The bird measured seven feet from tip to tip of its wings, and over three feet from beak to tip of tail, arid weighed over 12 pounds. Jim also mounted a handsome white heron, or egret, which was shot by Jesse Austin; in Benton Township, Eaton County, last week, while hunting along the Thor­ napple. 1891.. .

At the insistence of a delegation of three local women, Marshal Scheldt arrested the manager of the France-Rella Comedy Company, playing at the opera house, and held him in jail Wednesday night. The charge was cruelty to animals, the ladies who signed the warrant claiming six dogs used in the act had been confined in a cage without food for several days.

Nashville, Tuesday, April 19, 1983 — Page 20 Marker dedicates Nashville's library as state historic site by Susan Hinckley Dedication was held Saturday of an official marker designating Nash­ ville’s Putnam Library as a state historical site. The Italianate brick building was constructed in 1884-85 as the Charles Put­ nam home. The designation placing the building on the State Register of Historical Sites was bestowed in 1980 by the Michigan Historical Com­ mission, but the metal marker carrying the history of the structure was not received until recently. It has been affixed to the ex­ terior of the library, near the front entrance.

Visitors participating in Saturday’s event were Agnes Smith of Hastings, vice president of the BCHS, and Eileen Oehler, Hastings city librarian. Other officials present for the occasion were Linda Frith, Nashville village trustee who heads the council’s Parks and Library committee; Nita Brown, treasurer of Putnam Public Library Board, and Susan Hinckley, board president. Hosting the celebration were Librarian La Duska Sheldon and her assistants, Ruth Brown and Janet Kellogg. Refreshments were served by Friends of the Library. State registration in­ dicates that the Michigan Historical Commission has judged the building to be of significant historic interest. At the time of designation was granted in May 1980, the structure became one of over 1,200 sites marked by the MHC since the register was established in 1955 to recognize Michigan’s historic sites. The Charles W. Putnam home was erected on Nash­ ville’ North Main Street during the winter of 1884-85 at a cost of between $5,000 and $6,000. He was a local prominent businessman and his wife, the former Agnes Smith, a native of the state of Ver­ mont, became Nashville’s first public schoolteacher in 1866. Putnam arrived in Nash­ ville in 1865, at age 19, from Lenawee County where his father, Miles Putnam, was a farmer of meager means. The elder Putnam was a New Hampshire native who traced his ancestry back to General Israel 'Putnam of Revolutionary War fame.

Agnes Putnam was Nashville's first public schoolteacher. With Mrs. Smith in photo are, standing from left, Nita Brown, La Duska Sheldon and Linda Frith, all of whom participated in Saturday's sign dedication. Nashville’s wealthiest businessmen. The Putnams became parents of twins, both of whom died in in­ fancy. They reared her nephew, Frank Smith, who died in 1899 at age 23 from injuries suffered in the Spanish- American War. His funeral was held from the Putnam home, which over the years hosted many happier events - including numerous weddings and community parties - thanks to the generosity of the Putnams. In 1918, gravely ill with tuberculosis, Charles Put­ nam committed suicide because he feared tran­ smitting the disease to others. His will stipulated that the Putnam home be left to the village following Mrs. Putnam’s death for the purpose of establishing a public library. She died in 1920. In addition to the building, the Putnams bequeathed $10,000 for maintenance and an additional $1,000 for remodeling; a 300- volume personal library collection and several pieces of antique furnishings. The village council gave the Woman’s Literary Club the responsibility of establishing a library in the Putnam home, and the facility opened to the public on Sept. 1, 1923. In 1965 the Nashville council established Putnam as a district library, and it is now supported by the village and the townships of Maple Grove and Castleton. There now are over 14,000 volumes on the shelves, but the structure is essentially unchanged from the days when it served as the Put­ nam home. Only two main floor partitions were removed to convert it to library use. In the past 15 years the four rooms on the second floor also have been restored for public use but no structural changes were made. Currently a drive is un­ derway to raise $50,000 for a proposed Children’s Wing to be added to the rear of the present structure. The ad­ dition will be designed to coordinate with the historical preservations guidelines which govern alterations to buildings designated as State Historical Sites. 4-H foods jamboree set New ideas and new materials available for 4-H leaders will be the highlights of the 4-H Foods Jamboree on Thursday, April 21.

Saturday’s attendance peaked to an estimated crowd of about 30,000 per­ sons, said Mary Trowbridge. She and her hdsband, Vem, have been keeping tabs on the festival crowds for many years. A larger than usual crowd of about 5,000 were on hand for Friday evening’s festivites and about 10,000 turned out on Sunday. Sunny skies with tem­ peratures reaching about 70 degrees beckoned visitors on Saturday to a variety of activities that included a grand parade and a kiddie parade through town, the coronation of Amy Jo Cole as Vermontville’s syrup queen, and plenty of good food. The Maple Valley Band Boosters served pancake and sausage meals to 4,500 during the festival, said Trumble. From conversation with some of the syrup producers, he reports that sales of pure maple products were moving “quite well.” Area producer Fern Gearhart said she had an exceptionally good year and the Vermontville “Corporation’s syrup is about gone,” he said. Trumble noted that the effects of Michigan’s depressed economy were evident because visitors to the village were generally purchasing smaller quan­ tities of syrup this year. For instance, customers were more likely to buy a half­ gallon of syrup rather than the gallon size, he said. The new evening street dances were popular, but This bird's eyeview of part of the Vermontville fes­ tival crowd was captured Saturday by Maple Valley News reporter-photographer Elaine Gilbert while riding in a helicopter, piloted by Jim Barense of Mid­ Michigan Helicopters, Inc. of Greenville. The company was an hand to give many festival visitors an uplifting experience on Saturday and Sunday. Besides charter rides, the helicopter company offers spraying, survey­ ing, and photography services. Saturday’s chilly evening weather hampered the outdoor dancers a bit. Meanwhile toasty warm in the high school, some 150 square dancers representing 17 clubs in Michigan were having a great time ‘do-sido-ing’ around the cafeteria floor. The square dance was the ninth annual festival event sponsored by the Maple Valley Squares. Reduced prices for car­ nival amusement rides were a big hit Friday night and it was Crown Amusements most successful syrup festival year. To kick-off the festival, a The Battle Creek Shrine Club, a crowd pleaser ,roared through town during the parade. bevy of talented persons performed in an early evening show to one of the biggest crowds ever on Friday night, reports Show Chairman Barbara Musser. Talent show winners were selected in four different categories. Placing first in instrumental were the Uptown Brass Band of Hastings.

The event is slated to start at 10 a.m. at Curtis Craft Center — rain or shine. In case of inclement weather, the sale will be conducted inside the building. Vermontville auctioneer Bill Stanton will preside, with proceeds of the sale being split equally between participating artiste and the Nashville Chamber of Commerce. The idea originated with Vernon Curtis, owner of the Craft Center, as a special way of marking that firm’s second anniversary open house and simultaneously promoting civic improvement projects by the Chamber. Twenty-six original paintings are ex­ pected to cross the auction block, with offerings covering a wide variety of subjects. Local history buffs may be particularly in­ terested in a couple of the paintings which were among the 16 that had been sub­ mitted by last Friday. One is of Tobias’ round barn built in 1916 by Ed Liebhauser at the crest of Oversmith Hill west of Nashville, and another is of the Co-op Elevator on South Main, a structure which dates back to 1879 as the old Ainsworth and Brooks operation. In ad­ dition to receiving half the sale proceeds of their in­ dividual paintings, par­ ticipating artiste also will be competing for three top prizes totaling $175 offered by Curtis Craft Center. Other Nashville merchants will join in the spirit of the eventt by conducting sidewalk sales Friday and Saturday, April 29-30, in conjunction with die Curtis Craft event. Rev.

Since January, the children have been building life-size posters of their bodies, each week coloring, cutting and attaching a new part lungs, heart, in­ testines, stomach, liver, brain, etc. As each new addition was made weekly, the children read and discussed a chapter of a booklet which explained the various functions of the individual part being added to their posters. When the study, which was part of a Health Unit in reached Science Class, completion each child proudly displayed a body poster made up of a multitude of “parts”. Mrs. Vandermolen said the project was very beneficial in helping the children learn about anatomy in terms they could understand.

Keynote speaker for the event will be U.S. Sen. John Heinz (R-Penn.), chair of the Senate Special Committee on Aging. Heinz is known as one of Congress’ most vocal advocates for seniors. One of the day’s highlights will be the appearance of television, movie and Broadway en­ tertainer, Ossie Davis who will present an after-lunch monologue. Seniors will also be greeted by Gov. James Blanchard, Senate Majority Leader William Faust (D- Captivating... Spring Styles Westland), and House Speaker Gary Owen (DYpsilanti) who will respond to a Senior Platform of Priority Concerns. Other noted speakers will include Detroit Mayor Coleman Young and Lansing Mayor Terry McKane. The focus this year will be on health care cost con­ tainment, says Ms. Wolf. “Seniors are especially victimized by the escalating costs of health care. Even with Medicare they pay more out of pocket for health care than any other group, Ms. Wolf adds. “Now with changes being proposed for Medicare, their costs for health care could be substantilly more and Senior Power Day,” says Ms. Wolf, “will be the start of a campaign to bring down the rate of increase in health care costs and make health care more affordable.” 75ther events of the day will include caucuses with legislators, a health fair with action-oriented educational exhibits, and a box lunch, served by legislators and public officials.

Nashville, Tuesday, April 26, 1983 — Page 4 Memories off the pas by Susan Hinckley Former "Nashville News" owner played important role in community by Susan Hinckley (Author's Note: A gift of early photos last week to Putnam Public Library from Leonard and Marian Kane included excellent shots of the office of The Nashville News, owned and operated 40 years by Leonard’s maternal grandfather, Len W. Feighner. The pictures prompted the following article on the role the man fondly known as “Fike” played in the Nashville community. The complete story of The Nashville News and its founder, Orno Strong, was told in a Memories of the Past published Sept. 29, 1981.) In Nashville, the name Feighner is synonymous with The News. The paper, established in 1873 by Orno Strong of Lawton, is the continously published forerunner of the presentday Maple Valley News, now owned by J-Ad Graphics, Inc. of Hastings. This year the paper will mark its 110th anniversary. Strong started the paper in the fall of 1873 — the first issue was on October 3 — and reported 63 subscribers. Today the Maple Valley News is delivered weekly to some 3,300 homes. A good part of that growth can be attributed to Feighner. The paper grew steadily under the influence of Strong, a colorful writer whose outspoken editorials helped foster many village improvements — including the first jail, the first fire department, and the Union School. By 1880, Strong had built the circulation of his paper to 1,248 but nine years later — a year after em­ ployee Len Feighner bought the paper in 1888 — the circulation of The News topped 2,000. Feighner, like his former boss, became a crusader in his own right during his 40­ year tenure as editor­ publisher of The Nashville News. “The list of major im­ provements and ac­ complishments for which he was responsible in Nashville would be a long one,” noted The News at the time of Feighner’s death in August 1948. “In his earlier days as editor of The News, he crusaded for and secured a modern municipal water system, paving for Main Street, electric lights, im­ proved fire protection, parks and many other betterments for the town he loved. Six years ago, it was Len Feighner’s suggestion, presented in a letter to The News, which started the community maple syrup project. For 65 years, he has been Nashville’s most civicminded resident and un­ doubtedly No. 1 citizen, so far as concerns loyalty, support and true love for his home town.” Nashville must have seemed like native ground to Feighner. Though he was born June 5, 1862 in Canton, Ohio, he came to Nashville with his parents when he was less than six months old. When he was five years old, his father, William Feighner, died of typhoid fever and he went to live with his uncle, Leonard E. Stauffer, in Grand Rapids. — NOTICE — Vermontville Residents The Village Office hours from April 19 through June 3 will be Tuesday, Wed­ nesday, Thursday 9:00 - 12:00 and 1:00­ 5:00.

A few years later, Len came back to Nashville and worked for Orno Strong on The Nashville News. The next spring, he went back to Hastings to take a job on the Banner, then published by Len Feighner with beard, is seen in this about-1902 photo with his printers and printer's devils,’from left: Art Smith, Claude Hough, Al Weber, Irving Boston and Frank Weber The Weber brothers both stuck to newspaper work. Each later eekly - Al, the Observer of Cheboygan, and owned a successful Michigan weekly Frank the Montmorency County Tribune at Atlanta. Claude Hough later moved to Mulvane Kansas. Irving Boston died a hero's death in December 1894 in a vain attempt to rescue a fellow ice-skater on the Thornapple River. Art Smith's later whereabout is unknown. Feighner owned The News until 1928, also served as state legislator, local postmaster and head of the Michigan Press Association. The Nashville News office was originally a primary school building constructed in 1876 near the site of present-day Kellogg School. After the new Union School was completed in 1885, Orno Strong, founder of The News, bought the little schoolhouse and had it moved in November by team and rollers and placed George Dewey, grandfather of Thomas E. Dewey who in 1943-54 was governor of New York. Feighner continued to work in various shops all over the country, for a time holding a job as one of the most expert typesetters in a big Chicago commercial printing establishment. Then in 1883, when he was 21, he came back to work for Orno Strong on The Nashville News. For the next five years, he worked on the News staff, then in the fall of 1888, he bought the paper from Strong — but not before Len made one more try to strike out on his own in a new location. “L. W. Feighner, an employee at the office of The News for half a dozen years, has resigned his position to go north and embark in business on his own hook,” reported The News on August 11, 1888. What transpired in that venture is not known, but Feighner soon bought The Nashville News from Strong — who then left on an extended trip to Texas and Mexico. (Strong later moved to Tacoma, Washington, and in time became publisher of two prosperous trade journals.) While the Feighner name is closely associated with the newspaper business, he was a man who “wore many hats” during his lifetime. “Len Feighner’s fellow citizens will remember him as editor and publisher of The Nashville News for 40 years,” noted the paper at the time of his death, “(but also) as a longtime president of the village, chief of the volunteer fire department and postmaster. They remember, too, that he served as a member of the state legislature from this district and know that for more than .20 years he a operated newspaper brokerage business with Nashville as his headquarters.” (One role the report did not note was Feighner’s stint as manager of the local opera house, a position he accepted in 1901 and which signaled an upgrading of the professional acts booked to appear there.) “What his neighbors may not realize is the vast number of newspaper people throughout the United States on a 3-ft. foundation on Maple Street, where it still stands today. The exterior was coated with stucco after Len Feighner, right in photo, became owner of the paper in 1888. Note old bicycle, boardwalk, and hitching post just left of man at left (who appears to be Frank Weber}. who knew and loved him,” continued The News ac­ count. Feighner was well-known in news circles due to his presidency of the Michigan Press Association and his service as first field manager of the organization. In addition to his three terms as village president, some dozen years heading the Nashville Fire Dept., and nearly ten years as post­ master, Feighner also served both as trustee and president of the local board of education and for many years was active in county and state Republican committees. “Through his press and political activities, he became prominent throughout the state but he was always primarily in­ terested in Nashville,” observed The News.

MAIN STREET Nashville, Mich. 852-0882 gift to all the world The beauty which God confers upon us reaches its greatest height in the spring, when He adorns the earth with the color and fragrance of flowers. In endless varieties, they can be found almost everywhere; and even the most seemingly arid desert regions may be blessed with tiny blossoms sprouting in the sand. Whether it be the random scattering of the wildflowers or the formal, stately rows of carefully tended gardens, the seeds and conditions of growth come alike from God's nursery. Flowers enhance happy occasions and bring comfort to sad ones. Moreover, they are self-perpetuating, for their beauty and fragrance attract the bees and other insects that assure their continued existence. Whatever your faith, it teaches you that of all the many wonders of God's creation, it is the flowers which represent His greatest gift of love and beauty to all of us.

The Nashville News had been sold in 1928 by Feighner to A. B. McClure. Sub­ sequent owners were Willard and Mary Gloster (1931); Donald and Zelna Hinderliter (1941); and John and Amy Boughton (1956), who later acquired the Ver­ montville Echo and in­ corporated the two papers into the Maple Valley News, which was sold in 1975 to JAd Graphics, Inc. Editor Hinderliter who wrote Feighner’s obituary in 1948 also wrote his own Jim Erwin granted special religious scholarship personal tribute to the man in his Backstreet Barometer column: "... he has been a severe critic and at the same time a staunch and faithful supporter. His approval somehow has meant more than that of all the rest of the people in town, and when we managed to earn it, we knew it was sincere. We used to argue with Fike on many subjects but had a genuine respect for his opinions... He was generous almost to a fault... Len Feighner wasn’t a saint by any means. But he was the kind of man whom the saints might well smile upon and wave thru the gate.” Jim Erwin of Nashville has been granted an all expense paid scholarship at Indianas Summer Institute for the study of the worlds religions. The purpose of the In­ stitute is to “Give a carefully selected group of 30 midwest history teachers an in­ troduction to the major world religions and assistance in developing curriculum units for their classes.” The institute lasts a month, allows six hours of graduate credit, and deals with Judaism, Islam, Hin­ duism, Buddism, Taoism, Confucianism and Shin­ toism.

There were 40 children present for the first serving and 20 at the second. All ingredients for the “feast” were furnished by parents of the youngsters except for some of the maple syrup, which was donated by Homer Schantz. Teachers turned the event into a learning experience about table etiquette and nutrition. The meal capped an earlier spring field trip to Nashville’s sugar shanty in Putnam Park to see the boiling of sap into maple syrup. That outing sparked the children’s interest in the finished product which was lavishly ladled on golden pancakes at Friday’s event. School principal Howard Yost was pressed into ser­ vice Friday afternoon as a flapjack chef, a role he has filled at past kindergarten pancake events. Parents who assisted in the classroom Friday included Juliet Hughes, Barb Dipert, Mary Ann Mead, Gail Greenman, Barbara Brandt, Mrs. Dana Histed, Ann Taylor, Judy Murphy, Sally Gatchell, and Jim and Janet Jarman._________________ To the Editor: This is in response to Dave Hawkins’ latest letter in the Maple Valley News. (4-19-83) Let me preface my letter by stating that I believe anyone who takes the position of school board member as seriously as Dave does, needs all the backing and support possible from the community. He is trying to arouse interest in the monthly board meetings so that more people will know first hand what is going on in one school system. I believe the facts in both letters (Dave’s letter and the anonymous one) need to be clarified. The teachers’ salary schedule for this year remained the same as last year. For the 34 teachers at the top of the salary schedule, that meant a raise of $70 for the year. For the rest of the teachers, their increment was 5.3 percent. Over 30 teachers in the Maple Valley system have their Mater’s Degree or beyond. In the business world, people with similar degrees begin their careers $10,000 above the teachers’ starting salary. That margin widens with experience. In addition to concessions to pay, we agreed to a longer student contact time requiring increased preparation. For those of us at the high school, whose staff has been cut by 30 ACTION-ADS MEN’S SLOW PITCH SOFTBALL TOURNAMENT in Nashville, May 21 and 22, $65 and two balls, call Mike Kenyon, 852-9642 or Steve Tefft, 726-1132. (5-3) SEPTIC TANK CLEAN­ ING: Approved by Michigan Dept, of Health. Call Menzo Howe, Charlotte, 543-0173. (tfn) percent, that means we teach 20 minutes more a day and many of us have 150 students per day. I challenge anyone who believes this constitutes merely “showing up for 6 hours” (by the way, the time is 7% hours minimum) to come to school and follow me from the beginning of my day at 6:45 until the end of classes at 2:30. Keep in mind after you’ve followed me during my day, that I go home and still correct papers and prepare lessons for the next day. The salary schedule for next year includes an average increase of 4.6 percent to compensate for this year. In high school next year, we are introducing new semester courses which will not add to the cost of the students’ education, but they will require more preparation from the teachers. One final note. We would appreciate a more positive attitude on the part of the public. Many good things are taking place at Maple Valley. Our teachers have had special projects for their students such as the Pioneer Days and the student news page in the paper. Our band received the highest rating possible at band festival. Six of our seniors won VomBerg Scholarships. Michigan Assessment Tests show Maple Valley students are tops in the area,, in both reading and math. All of these indicate that there must be something good at Maple Valley. And there is! You have the best staff for miles around. Why don’t you thank a teacher today’ Sincerely Lucinda Martin President Maple Valley Education Association Eaton County Sheriff Dept, investigators are looking for two male subjects in con­ nection with the April 19 burglary of a Vermontville home, in which an occupant, a member of the Vermontville Syrup Festival court, was home at time. A sheriff department spokesman said the two subjects entered the home of Lewis Trowbridge, 9724 Round Lake Rd., while the Trowbridge’s daughter, 17year-old Michelle, was home. Police say the burglars, armed with a handgun and rifle, stole stereo equipment before fleeing. Miss Trowbridge was selected for the Syrup Fetival court in February. Despite the burglary, she appearedatthe festival, four days after the burglary. Michelle was unharmed in the incident. Investigators describe one of the suspects, Mark, as a white male, 20-25 years old, six-feet tall, 200 pounds, with dark brown shoulder length hair. The second suspect, Al, is described as a white male, 5 feet 8 inches tall, 150 pounds, dark brown, long hair, and 16 to 19 years old.

STATE LICENSE NO. 1612 WHEELER MARINE M-66 South of Nashvil 852-9609 �The Maple Valley News, Nashville, Tuesday, April 26, 1983 — Page 14 Early spring plants may poison livestock Many plnats commonly found around the home can be poisonous to goats and other animals that eat them. Spring is a particularly hazardous time, because Engagements * Symonds-Craven to wed Mr. and Mrs. John Symonds are pleased to announce the engagement of their daughter Sharon Kay, to Mr. Richard H. Craven III, son of Mr. and Mrs. Richard Durham of Nash­ ville. Sharon is a 1982 graduate of Maple Valley High School, and is presently attending Argubright Business College in Battle Creek. Richard is in the 1983 graduating class of Maple Valley High School and is presently employed at Carls Supermarket in Nashville. A fall wedding is being planned. Gardner-Scramlin Lee Gardner and Roger Gardner, both of Ver­ montville, are pleased to announce the engagement of their daughter, Denice Gardner, to Rod Scramlin, son of Mr. and Mrs. Frank Scramlin of Nashville. Denice is a 1981 graduate of Maple Valley School and is employed at Elias Brothers in Hastings. Rod is a 1979 graduate of Maple Valley School and is employed at Kent’s Standard in Vermontville. An August wedding is being planned. browse is scarce and spring clean up efforts may make clippings, trimmings and other plant materials available to livestock. Gale Baumgardner, Extension dairy specialist at Michigan State University, says poisonous plants can be found in the home, in the vegetable garden, in the landscape, and in the woods and pasture. Some are fatal in very small amounts; others may have to be eaten in substantial quantities to cause illness. Livestock owners need to be aware of these plants and prevent their animals from ingesting them. In The Home Dumbcane (D ieffenbachia) irritates the mouth, tongue and lips, and the tongue may become immobile, interfering with eating, breathing and drinking. Dumbcane poisoning is not usually fatal, however. English ivy may be grown as a house plant or as a landscape ground cover. In sheltered spots, it’s essen­ tially an evergreen. An animal that eats it goes through an excited period, followed by labored breathing, coma and death.

Though animals don’t generally like poinsettia plants, they will eat them if nothing else is available. In The Garden Green potatoes and potato sprouts are very dangerous. They contain solanin, a toxic substance that causes death by paralyzing the respiratory system. A common source of solanin poisoning is potatoes cleaned out of a root cellar. Of the early garden crops, rhubarb is probably the most dangerous. The leaves contain oxalic acid. Poisoned animals stagger, salivate excessively and die in convulsions in three to five hours. z The tops of roots of hor­ seradish can be poisonous. Excitement, pain, collapse and death are the usual course. The toxic substance is mustard oil. Onion bulbs and chives eaten early in the spring in large quantities can cause anemia and other problems. Woody Landscape Plants All parts of both English and Japanese yews, fresh or dry, are poisonous. Death comes quickly by cardiac failure. Oleander is sometimes grown as a house plant as well as a landscape plant. Animals that eat it generally die within a day from gastroenteritis, characterized by severe abdominal pain, nausea and vomiting. Clippings from shrubs are the most common source of poisoning. Trimmings from privet hedges can also be fatal. Animals will not generally browse on privet but might eat clippings. Death comes within a day after severe abdominal pain, vomiting and diarrhea. of Members the rhododendron family -- including Daphne or spurge laurel, rhododendron, azalea and laurel -- are extremely poisonous, green or dry. Death comes about six hours after later anorexia, dullness, colic, teeth grinding, depression, nausea, vomiting a coma. The leaves of wild cherries contain prussic acid (cyanide) under all conditions -- green, wilted and dry. Poisoning symptoms include rapid breathing, muscle weakness, spasms, staggering and coma after 10 to 20 minutes. The sprouts, pods, seed, bark and leaves of the black locust are poisonous. Even water in which pods have soaked can poison. Animals stand with feet apart as if bracing themselves and experience rapid, shallow breathing and depression. Death from heart failure may occur in two to three days. The fruits, sprouts and foliage of the Kentucky coffee tree are also poisonous. This tree can be mistaken for the honey locust, which is not poisonous. Large amounts of oak leaves, green or dry, and oak sprouts are poisonous. The rumen stops working, animals experience ab­ dominal pain, excessive thirst, frequent urination, rapid pulse and rapid,, shallow breathing. It is not usually fatal unless the animal stops eating and starves to death. “A wise rule of thumb is never to give clippings from landscape plants to animals l unless you know for sure that they are not poisonous, Baumgardner advises. Flowers And Bulbs Many of the first garden plants to come up in the spring are toxic to goats and other animals that might eat them. Larkspur or delphinium comes up early. Animals that eat it may show a general uneasiness, walk stiffly, get constipated and bloat, then suddenly collapse. The cause of death is respiratory failure. Toxic bulbs include star of Bethlehem, or snow drop, a highly poisonous onion- like bulb; narcissus, daffodil, jonquil, amaryllis, hyacinth and lily of the valley (bulbs are poisonous); and iris, both wild and domesticated (leaves and roots, fresh or dry) ingesting large quantities results in gastroenteritis, vomiting and trembling br con­ vulsions. Poisoning is usually not fatal unless the bulbs are used in quantities as feed. In Woods And Pastures Many of the first plants to appear in damp areas in the spring are poisonous. cabbage Skunk is generally the very first plant to come up and bloom in the spring. It’s a member of the same plant family as the jack in the pulpit. The big problem is in the rhizome, or fleshy root: calcium oxalate crystals in the rhizome become embedded in the mouth tissues. This usually stops animals from eating enough of the plant to get a fatal dose. Members of the laurel and rhododendron family often grow wild in abandoned pastures and meadows. Common names for these plants include lambkill, sheepkill and calfkill - with good reason. Jack-in- the-pulpit is a bog plant whose bulb or corm causes colic in animals that eat it. Though the whole plant of Dutchman’s breeches,, or squirrel corn, is poisonous, bulbs are especially dangerous. This plant causes what is commonly called spring staggers. Animals usually recover. marigolds, or Marsh cowslips, belong to the buttercup family. 'Animals generally will not eat them. If they do, they experience restlessness, salivation, weakness and irregular heartbeat. Water hemlock, both the tubers and young sprouts, kills quickly. If an animal lives five to six hours after eating it, it will probably recover. Symptoms of Symptoms poisoning include muscle spasms and convulsions. Poison hemlock is extremely poisonous throughout the plant, but tender new leaves are the most common source of poisoning. It may be mistaken for parsley. Stimulation, uao, depression epesso, paralysis, coma and death are the usual course. Bracken fern or brake fern grows in moist woods. Poisoning symptoms include a rough hair coat, bleeding from the nose and mouth, and excessive salivation. The animal bleeds to death over five to six days. Sorrel, burdock or dock is often found in pastures and meadows. Most animals will not eat it if they have anything else. Poisoning problems must often occur in the spring, when browse is scarce, though the oxalic acid in the plant can cause problems later if the plant iis incorporated in hay. Cockleburs grow in moist areas and are most dangerous in the seedling stage, causing death within 24 to 48 hours. Unlike most plant poisonings, an incident of poisoning by cocklebur is one case when your vet can help, Baumgardner notes. Call him or her at once. Pokeweed is a succulent spring plant that causes retching and vomiting within two hours and can lead to paralysis of the respiratory system. Ground ivy or creeping Charlie is a bitter tasting plant of last choice. It does green up early in the spring, so livestock may eat it. It causes excessive salivation and panting but is generally not fatal. Broomcorn, johnsongrass, sorghum and sundangrass are all good forages, but young plants and older ones stunted by drouth can contain high concentrations of prussic acid (cyanide). Plants should be allowed to bloom before animals graze them. Poisoning symptoms include nervousness, labored breathing and muscle weakness, staggers, con­ vulsions and death as quickly as 20 minutes after the onset of symptoms. Using low cyanide strains of forage grasses lessens the potential for poisoning. Sorghum is higher in poisoning potential than sudangrass. Hemp -- dogbane, Indian hemp and marijuana -- is most appealing to livestock in the seedling and young stages. Large quantities cause narcotic symptoms and death. Generally, these plants may cause problems because they’re among the first green things that are available in the spring. They are not plants that animals will choose to eat if they have anything else, Baumgardner points out. Keeping animals out of woods and pastures early in the season and composting or burning and produce . clippings cleaned out of the root cellar instead of feeding them to animals will prevent most spring poisoning incidents.

There’s no disputing any more that spring has sprung. With spring comes that annual ritual called spring cleaning. If you haven’t gone through your house in search of winter debris by now, you’d better hurry. Not only are your neighbors starting to talk about you, but you could be sharing your home with a number of fire hazards. How much paper are you keeping? Old newspapers, cardboard boxes you’ll never use and similar detritus? How many old cleaning rags have become thoroughly saturated with flammables like cleaning fluid, snow blower fuel or shoe polish? In a closet, attic or comer of the basement, a pile of such material is an invitation to spontaneous combustion. Put them in a metal garbage can, slam down the lid and get rid of them! Newspapers can be sold to recycling firms in most communities for a few dollars a ton or save yourself the aggravation and announce to your area Boy Scout troop that your papers are there for the taking. Have your winter appliances inspected by repairmen before you put them away. If there’s a hazardous defect in your space heater or electric blanket, it’ll only cost more to have it fixed in the fall... and incomparably more if the appliance sets your house on fire next winter! Snow throwers should be tuned, adjusted and drained of fuel before they’re put away for the summer. This is a good time to edit all of your possessions. Items you never use are just more things to catch fire - or to trip over if you’re escaping from something else that has caught fire.

Give it to charity or hold a garage sale some fine weekend. Not only is a garage sale a fine way to meet your neigh­ bors, but you can use the money to put new batteries in your smoke detectors, recharge your old fire ex­ tinguishers or put an escape ladder on the upstairs bedroom. Test your smoke detec­ tors: push the test button and make sure the detector sounds. Then blow out a candle under the unit or hold a cigarette near it and make sure it responds. Spring cleaning is another good way to inventory and inspect all your appliances. Worn plugs and extension cords? Repair or replace. Too many plugs on one outlet? Extension cords required for every day ap­ pliances like lamps and TV? Maybe this is the year to have those extra outlets installed by a licensed electrician. Spring cleaning gives the fire-wise homeowner a chance to take stock of everything in his lifestyle that affects his exposure to the dangers of fire. What a fabulous way to keep your home clean and attractive -­ and safe to boot! Don’t let it pass you by.

Legume seedings on wheat for plowdown Many Michigan farmers broadcast seed, clover or alfalfa, on winter wheat to improve soil structure and to add nitrogen to the soil. The legume should be seeded midFebruary through March at 8-12 pounds per acre. Based on research at Michigan State University, variety selection is important in establishing a successful stand. Allen Krizek, Eaton County Extension Director, recommends a moderately hardy alfalfa such as Saranac, WL312, Pioneer 531; or Michigan grown mammoth red clover. Both legumes produced good stands for plowdown in May of the following year. Saranac alfalfa produced 2­ 2% tons plowdown forage, whereas Michigan mam­ moth produced from 1>& to 2 tons per acre. As a second choice, medium red clover or June clover (”2 cut clover”) can be used successfully. However, both stand and plowdown yields are less than the previously mentions varieties. Krizek does not recom­ mend the following legume varieties because of very poor stands and low plowdown yields. The varieties judge unacceptable under Michigan growing conditions include: Canadian mammoth clover (Altaswede), Biennial sweet clover, and California “plow down” common alfalfa.

We’re teaching students the ‘do’s and don’ts of tractor driving safety. “Along with teaching students about locking tractor brakes together when on the road, watching for situations which could lead to a rollover or flipover, using a ‘slow moving vehicle emblem’ when on the road, and all the other tips which allow for safe driving of a tractor at home, on the farm or on the road,” he said. Along with the safety unit, the Maple Valley FFA held a tractor driving competition during class on Wednesday, March 30. The Tractor Driving Contest consisted of a two-wheel course in which a manure spreader (loaned to the FFA chapter by Wertz Implement, Charlotte) was backed through a course made up of poles with golf balls attached to the top by strings. When a driver bumps a stake, the golf ball is dislodged and points are added to the driver’s score. down After backing through the course, the the tractor, change to a forward gear and drive the tractor (loaned this year by Maple Valley Implement) back through the course After reaching the starting end of the course, the driver must repark the tractor and spreader in the “shed” (made up of five stakes — one on each corner of the “shed” and one in the center). Measurements are made on accuracy of parking. Total score is figured by adding all the dislodged stakes (at 100 points), all dislodged golf balls (at 10 points each), times tractor direction changed (at 10 points each), and total time (in seconds). The winner is the driver with the lowest score. This year’s Maple Valley FFA Tractor Tractor Driving Contest winner winner isis ““Hurricane Hurricane ”” Steve Steve Gardner Gardner with with 69 69 points points total. total.

One of the things the FFA teaches its members is that there are really no winners and losers in a contest — everyone who participates is a winner. Congratulations to all the winners and especially to Steve Gardner for low overall score. Steve will receive a trophy at the FFA Awards Banquet in May. The Tractor Safety Unit and Tractor Driving Contest are two activities which give our Vocational Agriculture students “hands on” ex­ perience and train them to drive tractor on their own farms or work on the farms of others.

A weekly report from - ERNEST NASH State Representative PLAN TO SHORTEN SCHOOL WEEK INTRODUCED Legislation is being introduced in the Michigan House of Representatives that would give Michigan public school systems the option of instituting a four-day school week. Current state law mandates that schools be in session 180 days. The new law, if adopted, would change that to 900 hours per school year. In areas where school weeks have been shortened by one day, school systems reported dramatic savings in gasoline for school buses and main­ tenance costs. PROFESSIONAL SECRETARIES’ WEEK - April 24-30 is Professional Secretaries’ Week and April 27 is National Professional Secretaries’ Day. Be sure and show your appreciation to a secretary this week with flowers, lunch or even a raise! FELONY FIREAM LAW AMENDMENT PROPOSED Michigan police officers would be exempt from potential prosecution under the felony firearm law if the State Legislature adopts an amendment that would exclude police officers who are required to carry firearms in the course of their regular work. As the law is currently written, police personnel face a mandatory two-year prison sentence, as do civilians, for any felony committed while in possession of a firearm. Because the police are exposed to circumstances where they could inadvertantly commit a felony, the felony firearm law could place police at a disadvantage in at­ tempting to protect the public. CONTENT PROTECTION LEGISLATION IN­ TRODUCED - The poisoning of any food or medicinal product offered for public sale would be a felony offense under legislation recently introduced in the Michigan House of Representatives. If H.B. 4351 is enacted, any such tampering would be a crime punishable by life imprisonment. A similar bill was introduced late last year after the Chicago Tylenol tragedy, but did not receive consideration in time for passage. NEW DRUNK DRIVING LAW CLAIMS FIRST VICTIM A Michigan man has had his driver’s license suspended for life under the state’s new drunk driving law. The offender was convicted for driving under the influence of alcohol, his fifth such offense. The new law took effect April 1. PUT-TAKE PHEASANT PROGRAM REDUCED - A 25 percent budget cut has led to the shortening of the Depart­ ment of Natural Resources put-take pheasant hunting program, and fewer birds will be raised by the state. The season will now begin September 1, except at the Bald Mountain Recreation Area where opening day will be September 15. November 14 is the last day of the season in all put-take areas. Only 65,000 birds will be raised and released this year, compared to last year’s 120,000. In ad­ dition, five areas that previously participated in the program will be cut, including Flat River, Gourdneck, Gratiot-Saginaw, Stanton and Ionia. �The Maple Valley News, Nashville. Tuesday.

School board purchases busses and equipment The Maple Valley Board of Education has approved the purchase of two new school busses and school equipment including general main­ tenance expenditures. The board, at its April 18 meeting, elected David Hawkins acting president in the absence of President Wayne Cogswell and Vice President Charles Viele. Two 1983 International bus chassis with diesel engines and Carpenter bus bodies were approved. The cost of each chassis is $16,278 and each bus body $12,285. The cost of a gas engine would have been $14,231. The general decision to purchase diesel engines was based upon the potential savings over a period of years based upon the added miles per gallon using diesel fuel along with general operational savings as projected by Transportation Supervisor Gerald Aldrich. The board voted in favor of purchasing the following equipment and general repair maintenance materials: three one-fold mobile tables with benches attached for the Maplewood Elementary from Michigan School Service at a cost of $1,219.35. These tables are used in the hot lunch program and will be paid for out of the hot lunch account; three one-fold mobile tables without benches attached for the junior-senior hig school at a cost of $50.96. One table to be paid for out of the hot lunch account and two from the general fund. Tables to be purchased from Mc­ Fadden Corporation; 50 stacking chairs for junior­ senior high school from DESCO for $682.50; 75 stacking chairs for Kellogg Elementary from DESCO for $900; 30 student desk top replacements for Fuller Street and Kellogg from McFadden Corporation for $229.50; 20 aluminum gym bleacher boards for junior­ senior high school from D. L. M.V. students say "thanks" to staff by Susan Hinckley Teachers were delighted to find a noon meal of tossed salad, chile and soup, awaiting them in the school library. Also honored Wednesday were Maple Valley administrators, secretaries, cooks and custodians. (Maple Valley News photos by Susan Hinckley) Teachers, administrators, secretaries, . cooks and custodians at Maple Valley Jr.-Sr. High School were reminded Wednesday that they are very special people. The third annual Staff Ap­ preciation Day sponsored by the Senior High Student Council underscored that message. The day started at 7:30 a.m. with the students serving a breakfast of assorted rolls, donuts, coffee, juice and milk to the staff in the school library. During second hdur classes, a student council delegation presented each of the honorees with a shiny, red apple. Next came a luncheon served buffet style in the library for the staff mem­ bers, who attended in various shifts during their normal break periods. The library was temporarily offlimits for student u$age during the lunch session, which featured a menu of tossed salad, chile or tomato soup, bread and crackers, plus a selection of beverages.

At a Thursday meeting, the Nashville Village Council set one day only - Monday, May 9 - as the date the Dept, of Public Works will collect trash set at curbside. Last year’s program was geared for four days and even then, said DPW Superivsor Leon Frith, repeated trips to the same households were necessary for a period of two weeks. This time, village officials agreed, Nashville residents will have one chance - and only one chance - to have trash picked up by the DPW. Trash must be at curbside before 8 a.m. Monday, May 9. “We will not make a second trip,” warned village officials Thursday, citing the $3,800 cost of the 1982 Spring Cleanup project. The only “second chance’’ for residents who miss Monday’s pickup will be to haul the trash themselves, to the local transfer and recycling center on East Casgrove Street, where a “free day” will be held Saturday, May 14. Jhe village will foot half the cost of hauling away dumpsters there that day, so no charge will be levied against residents using the site on May 14. Officials stressed, however, that recyclable materials such as metal, glass and paper should be separated. The separation of recyclables also is vital for trash placed at curbside. Householders are urged to pile such items as glass, metal and paper in separate stacks. Brush and limbs also should be placed separately.

Nashville, Tuesday, May 3, 1983 — Page 5 First graders read to teens by Susan Hinckley In February, students in the Speech class taught by Mrs. Dorothy Carpenter at Maple Valley High con­ ducted a reading session for students in the lower elementary grades at Maplewood in Vermontville and Fuller Street School in Nashville. The teen-agers took turns reading aloud to the younger children. Tuesday, four firstgraders from the class of Mrs. Janet Allen at Maplewood reciprocated by showing up at Maple Valley Jr.-Sr. High School to read to Mrs. Carpenter’s Speech class. The four youngsters were Angela Morris, Rudy Othmer, Gerardo Conklin and Sara Kinyon. Each brought along a selected book to read aloud to the audience of teen­ agers, and each did remarkably well. Rudy even improvised with two dif­ ferent voices to portray the characters in the story he presented. The young children also shared the illustrations in their books by holding them aloft for the high school students~to see — page by page. Surprisingly, Gerardo has spoken English for only two years. The reciprocal reading program was the idea of Mrs. Allen. Adding to the festive air at Tuesday’s visit to MVHS were the refreshments of cookies and punch served by Mrs. Carpenter’s students to their young guests. Maple Valley High School turns out 'top-notch' secretaries Rudy Othmer added an extra touch to his reading by improvising different voices for the two characters in his Story. (Maple Valley News photo by Susan Hinckley) The top-notch secretaries turned out at Maple Valley High School are honored in this bulletin board display timed to coincide with National Secretaries' Week. Some of the students who worked on the display are, from left, Becky Eaton, Lisa Foote, and Denise Snowden. (Maple VAIley News photos by Susan Hinckley) A bulletin board display at Maple Valley Jr.-Sr. High School drew attention to National Secretaries’ Week, April 24-30, and also boasted of the top-notch secretaries being turned out at MVHS. The display, arranged by students in the Shorthand II class of teacher Gail Sapp, noted that Gretchen Hartenburg, a 1978 MVHS graduate, was selected as 1982 Secretary of the Year in Lansing during a radio station sponsored contest in that city. In addition, the display points out that for two years running, students of MVHS have won the Davenport Business Olympics, a business skills competition in which 22 schools in the Lansing area compete each spring. Maple Valley claimed top honors in 1981 and again in 1982, and Monday ten students were set to participate in the Lansing event, seeking the 1983 trophy. The winning delegation in the Olympics for 1981 was comprised of Sheri Kraai, Donna Augustine, and Celia Eaton; and the team bringing home hoors in 1982 were Diane Andrews, Lisa Cogswell and Sonya Pike. These six students are named in the current display at the school. Secretarial classes now offered at MVHS include Shorthand I and II; Typing I; Accounting; Business Law; and Office Block. For the 1983-84 school year, two new additions have been incorporated into the business curriculum, said Mrs. Sapp. They are Typing II and Computer Science. In a related activity last week at the school, Davenport College brought in data processing equip­ ment Thursday to give Maple Valley students a first-hand look at business machines of the future. Mrs. Sapp said that ac­ cording to information she has received from professional organizations, the secretarial field is ex­ pected to experience sizeable growth this decade with a demand for secretaries increasing throughout the 1980s.

Rah! Rah! Rah! by Susan Lightner On the evening of Friday, April 15, 50 girls stood nervously waiting to per­ form the skills they had attained during cheerleading practice the past week. Coaching the practices were Kathy Hansbarger, Julie Hamilton, Pam Knoll, Debbie Erb and Sharon Varney. Some of the skills the girls were asked to perform were the splits, a cartwheel, a cheer of their own creativity, a cheer taught to the girls at practice and two jumps of their own choice. The teachers were also asked to do an evaluation. The girls were judged on eleven areas; spirit projection, poise, timing, organization, cheer motions, appearance, voice control­ clarity, communications and leadership. Also, creativity was judged on the made up cheer. Each participant was judged on a five point scale. The judges were Jeff Christiansen, Pam Knoll, Bobbi Hoefler, Sharon Reese, Kim Caudell and Kelly Jones. The new cheerleaders were announced Saturday, April 16, at a Jazzercise Benefit. The proceeds are to help the new cheerleaders go to a summer camp. The total proceeds from the benefit were $225. The cheerleaders for the 1983-84 school year are: Eighth grade squad - Joy Hamilton, Lisa Shoemaker, Amy Jo Walker, Kim Bahs, Rhonda Steinbrecker, Lori Smith and Sherri Forell, Alt. Lori Higdon.

Maple Valley gets new pole vault pit for track by Jess Bahs Just this last year, the athletic boosters have purchased a new pole vault port-a-pit. The cost of the new pit was $3,200. The pole vaulters are very much enjoying their new pit. It is much safer than the old pit which was just a couple of fish nets with a sponge rubber thrown in and then sewed up. So. this old pit looked like 3 or 4 oversized bean bags. People from other schools could not adjust to the old pit and some got hurt. The new pit is much softer and covers a wider area of space which makes it a lot easier to land on. With the purchase of the new pit, we received two fiberglass height bars. This bar is much safer because the vaulters can not get hurt from landing on the pole or the pole falling on their head. The old bar was a metallic substance that was quite heavier and harder. The money that has been spent for these items has been very worth it. This new equipment will help the pole vaulters be a lot more safe and reduce the odds very much for anyone to be seriously injured. Ten students comprise the Maple Valley Quiz Bowl team.

Sts ts Sb w by Susan Hinckley Maple Valley youngsters who are slated to begin school in the fall were “corralled” last week in the annual Kindergarten Round­ up. Processing of the preschoolers took place Tuesday at Fuller Street School in Nashville and Wednesday at Maplewood Elementary in Vermontville. The children were in­ dividually screened for school readiness. Speech and fine motor skills were tested along with reading and listening abilities. Social readiness also was checked. The testing was conducted by teachers and by speech therapist Hal Maxson, whose evaluation determines if a child needs speech therapy. Also on hand for the program was school nurse Joan Jasten. Parents ac­ companying their children to the Round-up sessionwere advised of the immunizati ons the preschoolers must have before classes commence in the fall. Vision and hearing tests also were conducted for all the preschoolers. At Maplewood, 53 youngsters were processed in the Round-up, and 47 at Fuller Street School. Results of the testing will be presented to parents in group sessions set for 7 p.m. Tuesday, May 3, at Fuller and 7 p.m. Wednesday, May 11, at Maplewood. At those events, dates also will be announced for the all-day kindergarten visitation agenda for the preschoolers at both schools.

No wonder children are entranced by fire - it’s natural, healthy curiosity. Parents can repress that curiosity... or make their children fire- safe by giving positive training in the safe handling of fire. Here’s one way to to use use positive psychology to prevent playing with matches. At age four or five, it’s time to begin a child’s education into the wonders of fire.. Before that age,, the child has been kept away from matches and lighters. Now’s the time for parents to take the initiative. Saying, “don’t play with matches’’ gives no positive in­ formation, makes matches a forbidden fruit, and doesn’t explain the safe use of matches. Instead, guide the five year old’s natural interest in fire. Teach that the match is a tool, with a specific pur­ pose: lighting candles outdoor grills, fireplace fires and other controlled fires. Fire plays a vital role in everyone’s life; everyones e; thee cchild who early learns the safe use of fire is less tempted to play with it. Begin by teaching the child how to light a match. Under direct supervision, have the child do the following: - Open package and tear out a match. - Close cover and turn over to expose the strike surface. - Hold the match and strike it away from the body. -- Hold match horizontally and let burn for a few seconds. - Blow out and hold until cool to the touch- (15 seconds). Have the' child repeat the procedure, over and over, match after match after match. Continue the procedure until the child announces boredom and a desire to stop. Congratulations! You have just taken a child fascinated by the mystery of fire and made the use of matches an utterly dull, prosaic enterprise that is so boring it’s unlikely the child will ever want to strike a match for pleasure again. What’s more, you’ve made fire a “safe” subject for discussion with the parents - instead of a forbidden topic fit only for peer experimentation. Now that the child un­ derstands matches, let him or her use them... but only under adult supervision. Let the child light candles and pilot lights, charcoal grills and fireplaces when such tasks need to be done... and obtain the child’s promise to use matches only with an adult’s permission and supervision. Again, the idea is to remove any sense of “forbidden-ness” which would drive an inquisitive child to explore on his own. As an added bonus, you’re teaching your child the fire­ safe way to perform many techniques he’ll need to know as a teen and young adult. A little child psychology can go a long way when the subject is fire. Teach kids to be fire- wise before curiosity drives them to be stupid on their own... and give the gift of life!

Rain forced cancellation of Nashville’s Saturday Sidewalk Sales, after a sunny and active Friday sale, but a unique art auction at Curtis Craft Center at 10 a.m. Saturday came off as scheduled inside the building on South Main. A fair-sized crowd was on hand to witness the auc­ tioning of 22 original 12x16 paintings which had been entered in a March contest sponsored by the Craft । Center. Half the proceeds of the sale conducted Saturday by Vermontville auctioneer William Stanton went to the individual artists and the balance was donated to the Nashville Chamber of Commerce for civic im­ provement projects. The art auction was the idea of Vernon Curtis, owner of Curtis Craft Center, who also awarded $175 in cash prizes to the three top ar­ Auctioneer Bill Stanton drew maximum offers from a minimal number of tists.

Some experienced artists in the audience felt the works brought a fair price while others felt the bidding was low. Auctioneer Stanton did an excellent job of bringing out the maximum offers from the limited number of bid­ ders present. He reminded the audience that purchase of the paintings showed support of the local chamber of commerce as well as the artist who had given so much of their time to produce the works of art Vernon Curtis said after the sale that he had hoped “for the artists’sake” that the paintings had brought more, but was pleased with the interest shown in the project. He bought several of the auctioned paintings himself and said he will display them in his store for now so that others in the community may stop in and see the works of local and area artists.

The crowd at the Vermontville Maple Syrup Festival was a joy to see and to be a part of. The 1983 venture in community pride, achievement and betterment has to be viewed as a great success. As one prominent citizen told me on Saturday, “It’s good for the town”!. Cer­ tainly it was and it was equally good for the greater Vermontville community of which the town is a part. A rural community without a town which is the focal point, and the economic and cultural base, tends to be only a bedroom area. In such a setting people sleep there but most of the interests that bind a community together and make it viable are lacking. I am of the firm conviction that our rural towns and communities are a very vital part of our national stability and well being. Also a part of the real hope for our future. This is a historic precedent in our great nation. It is also something that we may have lost sight of in the mobility and moving about that has characterized our society for BLOOD PRESSURE KIT 14 0Z. |99 ■kWy laps®1* ir;i-is ECONOMY T^ alac]r?? antacid VASELINE T INTENSIVE CARE LOTION IS*9 ELECTRONIC CARDIO-SPHYG BLOOD PRESSURE KIT 10 0Z.

They toured San Francisco and the Bay Area, saw Yul Bryner in the stage play “The King and I”, visted Yosemite, and attended the annual meeting of the InterPlast with their daughter. Maurene left last Wednesday evening for 10 days in San Pedro Sula, Honduras, with the Inter-Plast Team. This is a volunteer team of plastic surgeons, pediatricians, anesthesiologists, and nurses who go to various developing nations to do plastic surgery — primarily on children for severe burns, congenital defects, and crippling injuries. They often do 60 to 80 operations in seven days time under what might be called primitive conditions by our standards. To date, well over 6,000 free operations have been provided. This is Maurene’s third trip with the team. She is a medical technologist in the transfusion service at Stanford University Medical Center at Palo Alto.

PHONE852-1975 — OWNED BY JEANETTE WARNER — Fifty-eight Maple Valley students, parents and teachers discovered the delights of culture in Chicago, April 16. Two dossiers greeted the group at the Chicago Art Institute to direct an in­ formative and exciting tour of French Impressionistic art. The high school students, who have tried some oil painting, were impressed with techniques of the artist, Claude Monet. Junior high students were eager to participate in discussions about color theory. Dossier, Mary Anne English, took the junior high boys on a tour of President Harding’s famous gun collection and King Henry the Eigth’s suits of armor. Marianne Martin, Maple Valley Art Teacher, took students to view King Tut artifacts. The tour ended at the gourmet deli within the art museum and a stop to browse and purchase art books at the Institutes gift shop.

The day ended with a spectacular ride up the 103 story Sears Tower, traveling three floors a second. When they arrived at the top, it was snowing and foggy while it was raining on the ground. The limited view of Lake Michigan was disappointing. Participants of the tour were tired but exhilirated at 10:30 p.m. when they arrived back at M.V.’s parking lot.

For best results, the aeration fan should push the warmer outside air from the bottom of the grain toward the top of the bin. When the grain temperature at the top of the bin falls within the desired range, the job is complete. All stored grain should be inspected weekly through summer. Inspection requires looking, feeling and smelling while walking around on the grain surface.

It’s important to raise the grain temperature to between 40 and 50 degrees F. this spring and keep it there through summer, according to the Eaton County Cooperative Ex­ tension Service. The process of changing the grain to an optimum temperature should be done during mid to late April while outside air tem­ peratures are between 40 and 50 degrees F. It will probably require a week of eu/at# near the top surface of the grain, where moisture ac­ cumulation and crusting are most likely to occur. Moisture accumulation is caused by a temperature imbalance between the grain and the outside air. Moisture condensation on the ceiling of the bin is an indication of a problem. Trouble spots are likely to be 1 to 3 feet beneath the surface. More information about successfully storing grain is available in Extension Bulletin E-1431, “Stored Grain Management.” □ ATTENDANTS GIFTS SAMPLE BOOKS MAY BE TAKEN OUT OVERNIGHT FOR YOUR SELECTION AT YOUR CONVENIENCE. 74e Mil 1952 N.

Box A, Nashville, Michigan Phone 945-9554 (Hastings) The Maple Valley News, Nashville, Vol. 111 - No. 46 - Tuesday, May 10, 1983 Income tax hike is “wrong medicine for state, says Rep. Bob Bender by Susan Hinckley The 38 percent state in­ come tax hike recently approved by Michigan lawmakers was the “wrong medicine” to cure the state’s economic ills, believes Rep. Bender Robert (RMiddleville). Bender expressed that opinion Thursday at a meeting of the Nashville Chamber of Commerce held at the Community Center in Putnam Park. He voted against the measure. Bender, a former Barry County commissioner elected last fall to represent the 88th district in the state legislature, told the Nashville audience that he felt what Michigan needed to recover economically was “not to take more money out of people’s pockets.” Bender noted that the auto industry appears to be making a gain; inflation and interest rates are down. “These are positive signs,” he said. “I think Michigan will recover and that recovery will come about in spite of — not because of — anything state government is doing.” Bender told the merchants and guests gathered at Thursday’s event that Michigan needs to provide a better business climate. He rapped over-regulation, in and particular, cited Michigan’s Occupational Safety and Health Act (MIOSHA) as one case. He is currently sponsoring, with six other legislators, a bill which would abolish the agency. He noted that MIOSHA is a duplication of the federal OSHA, and some of its rulings get “totally and absolutely ridiculous.” He said the cost of the program to Michigan is $8 million annually, “but the cost to the business com­ munity goes far beyond that.” Gov. James Blanchard’s new budget also came under criticism Thursday by Bender. He said the spending plan has been hailed as giving top priority to education but observed that a close look at the figures “does not bear that out.” Blanchard’s allocation to education represents an increase dollar-wise but not percentage-wise in the $5.3 billion general fund budget, said Bender. The next largest increase -went to social services and welfare programs, noted Bender. Middleville The Republican farmer said public assistance programs are contrary to his own philosophy, but the state “has made it more (financially) attractive for people to stay on public assistance (than to work). ” He suggests that to turn around that trend, “We must change the philosophy in Lansing.” He perceives that as a difficult task because three southeastern Michigan counties (Detroit area) control 51 percent of the votes in the legislature and they “can pass anything they want to.” Bender rapped the political clout now carried by the Democratic party in the state legislature, pointing specifically to the reap­ portionment plan currently proposed for adoption before the fall election. “It is being drawn so Republicans will be running head to head (against each other) in the same districts, Rep. Robert Bender (R-Middleville) told a Nashville audience Thursday that the protecting the majority party,” said Bender. He 38 percent state income tax hike was the "wrong medicine" to cure Michigan's economic ills. The presentation at the Community Center concluded with the 88th feels the plan has “serious” long-range implications for District representative fielding questions from the audience.

Maple Valley names ‘top ten’ students Daniel Halsey Parents view computers at Fuller Kathy Guernsey was one of several parents to visit the first grade classroom of teacher Rose Dunham at Fuller Street School Friday to learn about the new computers recently purchased by the Parent-Teacher organization. Todd Guernsey explains functions of the machine to his mother. The PTO acquired six computers — four are used on a rotating basis in Fuller Street classrooms and the other two are at Kellogg School. Principal Burr Hartenburg is pleased to an­ nounce the top ten students in the Class of 1983 at Maple Valley High School. Sharing the position of valedictorian are Lori Gardner and Teresa Rozell. Lori js the daughter of Terry and Joyce Gardner of 4200 S. Clark Road, Nash­ ville. An acive member of the National Honor Society, she compiled a 3.9 grade point average. Lori is secretary of the Student Council, works in the office and played softball. Future plans for Lori include secretarial employment and marrying Lynn Denton of Bellevue. Lori enjoyed high school and will miss it someday when she looks back at the great times she had with her friends. “I feel I received a good education at Maple Teresa Rozell Valley, but it wasn’t easy. I took classes that will difinitely help me in pur­ suing a secretarial career. Clerical Office Block was my favorite class and will be the most influential experience to me.”. Mr. and Mrs. Richard A. Rozell, 5121 Barryville Road, Nashville, are the parents of valedictorian Teresa Lynn Rozell. Also with a GPA of 3.9, Teresa is the current president of National Honor Society. She plans on at­ tending Adrian College and studying accounting and computers.

Continued on page 7— �The Maple Valley News, Nashville, Tuesday, May 10,1983 — Page 2 Nashville mews Curtis Craft Center of Nashville presented the local Chamber of Commerce with a check Thursday in the amount of $293. That represents half the proceeds of an art auction recently conducted at Curtis Craft plus some additional monies donated to the fund. The check is earmarked for civic improvement projects by the Chamber. In the unique auction event promoted by Curtis Craft, local and area artists competed in producing paintings which were then sold at public auction—with the individual artist receiving half the proceeds brought by his or her work of art. The balance went to the Chamber. In addition, Curtis Craft awarded a total of $175 in cash prizes to three artists judged tops in the com­ petition. Also at Thursday’s meeting of the Nashville Chamber of Commerce, plans were approved for production of a map of the community to be distributed free to visitors to Nashville. Points of interest in the village will be noted on the map along with locations of supporting businesses and organizations-which have bought advertising space on the map layout. Virginia Alles, sales representative of the Maple Valley News, has charge of the project. Former local residents Mr. and Mrs. Burton Ebersole, Sr., now of Green Cove Springs, Florida, have been recent visitors in Nash­ ville at the home of their daughters and families: • COUNTRY HOME ON 1ACRE on M-66, north of Nashville. 8 rooms, 1 '/» baths (must see to appreciate).

This may include a choice of cemetery and a selection of lots. Prearranging the com­ plete funeral service with a trust fund for the purpose may also be advisable. We invite your inquiries about prearrangement of your funeral.

Thirty-five head of sheep were safely herded out of a burning barn on Lawrence Road by Nashville firemen last Monday night, May 2. The fire department was summoned out about 11 p.m. to the Michael Lingoes residence (oldtimers will recall it as the old Rev. John Marshall place), and found the barn well involved in flames at that time. Assistance from Hastings Fire Dept, was requested even before the Nashville units arrived on the scene. In about four hours, the firefighters pumped some 30,000 gallons of water on the blaze to bring it under control. Firemen entered the burning structure shortly after arrival to rescue the animals, cutting contents loss to only a few hand tools, said Nashville Fire Chief Doug Yarger. No firm damage loss figure had been set at the time of this report, but Yarger estimates it at $30,000 dr . more, He could give no cause of the fire at this time. The Lingoes residence is operated as the Laurel Manor Rest Home. Dr. Stanley Buck, a former minister at the United Methodist Church in Hastings who now is chaplain at Clark Memorial Home in Grand Rapids, will be guest speaker at 9:45 a.m. services Sunday, May 15, at Nashville United Methodist Church. Dr. Buck’s presentation will be in conjunction with Golden Cross Sunday, a day for United Methodist congregations to give em­ phasis to benevolent homes affiliated with the church. The United Methodist Council on Ministries will meet at the church at 7 p.m. Tuesday, May 17, to be followed by an 8 p.m. meeting of the Administrative Board.

Michigan, May 14, 1914, in a house at 127 Liberty Street. My parents were Ransom and Florence Howell. My career nearly ended before it got started. A railroad ran down the street and one day an engine derailed in front of our house and laid over on the porch. I was in a room in the front of the house at the time. I was very hurriedly removed from the room. I wasn’t hurt, but I reckon everybody was scared. I wasn’t really old enough to be scared, as I wasn’t over three months old at the time. We moved to Alabama in 1915 and lived there until 1918. We landed in Nashville, Michigan, December 24, 1918. I started school at six years. Minnie Furniss was my teacher. One day I went to the basement of the schoolhouse and had to pass the Manual Training room. There was a hole about one and one-half inch in diameter in the door. I peeked in and saw the class, so I put my mouth to the hole and hollered “Boo!”. Henry Zuschnitt, the janitor, happened along about that time and collared me. He At Camp Barry on Pine sent one of the students to get Lake, Guy Howell and his Miss Furniss. She turned me boyhood chums enjoyed over her knee and paddled adventures that have be­ me!

When I was able, she memorial to pioneer Eli I was born in Battle Creek, came to my house every day Wait near the lake. and gave me my lessons and heard my answers, so I passed into the second grade with the rest of the class. She was certainly a dedicated teacher. In 1919, we bought a house on the south side of Reed Street. It was the third house from the corner of Lentz. We bought it from a man named Northrup. My dad was a painter, and Mr. Northrup had some red barn paint and some dark green that he gave to my dad. He painted the house red, trimmed in green. My grandmother, Laura Jane Howell, was staying with us at the time. We had a Simmons Koaster Wagon, and one day there was a picture taken of Grandma and me in the wagon, and my brother Frank standing beside it. His name was Francis B. Dawson and he was a good brother. He was eight and a halfyears older than I, so we really didn’t start doing things together until I was in my late teens. He- had his friends and I had mine ^before that, so we didn’t have too much contact when we were young.

We went to Gus (Note: From time to time in this column, we have featured first-hand accounts by former local residents of their growing-up years in Nashville. The recent con­ tribution by Myrtle Marshall Donovan of Mesa, Arizona, complete with early photos she supplied, was a big hit with our readers. Today we commence a three-part series ofNashville memories written by Guy Howell of Tucson, Ariz. Some may recall our August 3, 1982 column about the Culp Bakery, in which Howell played a part. Now retired, he and his wife, Florence, operate a bookbinding business in their home. Throughout his adult life, Howell has lived various places in the South and Southwest and had a variety of interesting occupations, including once serving as a press photographer for a New Mexico paper. Photography is still one of his hobbies, along with gardening, studying astronomy, doing gravestone rubbings, and generally enjoying the nature and the ancient In­ dian culture of the American Southwest. The Howells also are active in their church. Due to the length of the piece written by Howell and the number of excellent old photos he supplied for illustration, we will present it in three consecutive weekly columns. We hope his recollections spark happy memories for others who now call — or have in the past called — Nashville “home”. Incidentally, Howell and his wife plan to visit Nashville this summer, for the first time since he left here in 1943. We are eager to report the changes he will note after his 40-year ab­ sence from the local scene.) Guy Howell, a 7-year-old lad seated on the auto in this May 30, 1921, photo can still recall this Memorial Day picnic outing with relatives and a subsequent visit to a cemetery. Standing from left are Kearney Root, Guy Morganthaler, Ransom Howell, Margaret Benedict, Effie Root, Florence Howell and Rhoby Mead. Morganthaler’s farm, with some of our other kinfolks and had a lot of fun. Then we all went to a cemetery where some veterans were honoring the dead. One winter I took one of the top ribs from a Model T Ford and cut it in half. I nailed boards crossways on them to make a toboggan. I couldn’t steer the thing, but all went well sliding down Standpipe Hill. One day, though, I was headed for a tree. I couldn’t steer, so I rolled off and the toboggan hit the tree. Boards flew in all directions. When I was about 12 years old, Dad Angell sponsored me for a summer Boys’ Camp at Pine Lake. Another boy, Voyle Varney, who was a good friend of mine, also went. The camp lasted for a week and we had a lot of fun. There was a diving dock in the lake, and beyond that was an island. We called it the Haunted Island, because there was a house on it that wasn’t lived in regularly. One day there was a group of us boys going over to the island in a boat that had two sets of oars. There was a boy at each oar and another boy in the stern with a paddle, steering. I was in the bow as lookout. We were going to beach the boat on the sand beach. We were nearly there when I spotted a log floating with one end on the bottom and the other end just showing at the surface, and turned toward us. I hollered, “Log! Left oars back water, right oars pull!” The steersman swung his paddle and we missed the log by inches. If we had hit it, it would have torn the bottom out of the boat. We stayed in tents, five boys and a counselor in each tent. We slept on Army cots. One night I woke up, sometime during the night, and felt something moving under my cot. I was scared half to death, but didn’t want to wake anyone else. I lay there shivering for a time, then I slowly put my hand under the cot and felt something furry! I jerked my hand right back. I thought of all kindss of animals it could be. Finally I put my hand under again and felt a little further. Then the realization came to me what it was. It was Dad Angell’s little Spitz dog. I had made friends with it and I reckon it just came to visit me. I sure breathed a sigh of relief. I woke another night and saw flashes outside. I thought some of the boys were out with flashlights. At that time I was deathly afraid of thunderr and lightning. We had a room at home that was supposed to be a' bathroom, butt was never finished. It had a door into each of two bedrooms Laura Jane Howell, Guy's grandmother, died the same year this 1919 photo was taken at her son's home on Reed Street. She holds young grandson Guy while his older brother, Frank B. Dawson, stands nearby. and no window. When a storm came up, I ran in there, closed both doors and stayed till the storm was over. Well, that night at Camp Barry it finally thundered along with the flashes of light, and I knew I was in for it. I was 33 miles from home, and no tight room to go into. I lay there shivering. I winced at each flash of lightning and jumped every time it thundered. It started raining, and the wind blew, and the ridgepole of the tent rubbed the canvas, so it began to leak down onto the two boys in the middle. They moved their cots closer to ours to get away from the drip. The inside of the tent was damp, Suddenly there was a crash of thunder and lightning together and our bodies just tingled with electricity. Everyone was awake. The storm ended soon after that and we finally got back to sleep. The next morning we saw, about 100 ft. from the tent, a large tree with its top knocked out and lying on the ground. Since then, I have had no real fear of thunder and lightning. We played games at damp. One such was a treasure hunt. The counselors would hide treasure hither and yon and we boys hunted for it. I think the treasure was in the form of candy. It was really fun. Then at night, after the hunt, there was a huge bonfire down by the lakeshore and we sat around it and sang songs. After the fire had burned down somewhat, we roasted hot dogs and sang more songs. Then to bed at the sound of taps, which we sang. There was a pyramid, built of rocks, on the shore of the lake, in memory of Eli Wait­ Pioneer-1836. I went to the camp for a week every summer for three or four years. There were other Nashville boys that went, too. Among them were Carl Brown and Carl Smith, Maurice Purchis and his cousin, Russell Pember. The lake where Camp Barry was located was Pine Lake. It was just a little way west of Prairieville. There was a large lake, and a smaller lake on either side, with connecting water. They had a motor launch that would hold about 50 passengers. One day we took our lunch and started early to go around the lake. It had a long shore line and took all day to go around it. Even then we didn’t go into all the indentations, because the launch drew too much water. (To be continued next week.) �The Maple Valley News, Nashville, Tuesday.

Tuesday, May 10,1983 — Page 6 Parents flock to Maplewood for special 'Grandparents’ Day’ event Parking spaces were at a premium Friday at Maplewood Elementary as 552 visitors jammed the Vermontville school for the second annual Grand­ parents’ Day. Teacher Kris Green, chairperson of the event, attributes the large turnout to the personal invitations which all students wrote and mailed to their grand­ parents, asking them to attend the 9 to 11 a.m. open house. Grandparents’ Day is designed to allow the visitors to observe the children at work and play, and for the children it is an exciting day of showing and sharing. Guests toured individual classrooms and also ac­ companied the youngsters during recess periods. Of course, there were many special activities throughout the school. Among the events arranged by individual classroom teachers were such things as having grandparents bring in hobbies to share with the children; having the children interview the grandparents about their early school days; asking the visitors to bring in photos of WANTED TO BUY Appliances, furniture, guns, stereos, baby items, T.V.'s, living and bedroom suites, bicycles, and all reuseable merchandise.

Decorations in the hallways, on classroom windows and in special bulletin board displays welcomed the visitors. Some children had drawn pictures of how they perceive their grandparents to look, then challenged the guests to find themselves in the artwork collection. Other classrooms made murals showing their grandparents. All of the children presented each of their guests with a paper corsage or boutonniere, lovingly crafted by small hands just for the occasion. Refreshments of cookies and punch were served to the guests by student volunteers In the classroom of Cindy Baker, second graders entertained their grandparents by quizzing them about their own school days.

The program aimed at promoting safe bicycle operation and security is sponsored jointly by the Maple Valley Jaycees and the Nashville Cub Scout organization. One ofthe primary goals of the Rodeo, says chairperson Sue Dunham, is to register all bikes with identification numbers which will aid police in case of theft. Through the cooperation of the Nashville Police Dept., 1,000 licensing stickers have been acquired - enough to cover two or three more sessions of the annual Bike Rodeo, says Mrs. Dunham. Last year those attending the event had to pay for bike tags issued from the Hastings Police Dept., but this year local contributions have covered the cost of the license tags which will be issued free to bike owners of all ages. Jaycee and Cub Scout volunteers will be on hand to aid the younger bike owners in properly filling out registration forms, which will be kept on file in the local police department. The bike description and iden­ tifying number will greatly aid police in the event the cycle is stolen. Sgt. Gene Koetje, acting police chief, notes that there have already been several bike larcenies in Nashville this year. He hopes that at least 300 bike owners show up for Saturday’s event. In addition to receiving free registration, owners will have the benefit of a free mechanical checkup of their Family Hair Care Salon IRENE’S Beauty Shop 204 N.

The Lions played poorly making many physical and mental errors that cost them the game. Barb Gurd took the loss. Wednesday, the softball team played its finest game this year in defeating Pot­ terville, 16-7. The Lions ran the bases intelligently, made many excellent fielding plays, and hit the ball with authority. The Lions ham­ mered out 22 hits to help Barb Gurd seal the victory.

Saturday will be her last day of work. When Mrs. Stanton, who is now head teller at the bank, first began working there on May 16, 1955, it was called Security National Bank. The name subsequently was changed to SNB Bank and Trust. In 1981 it became part of Comerica, a Detroit­ based chain that is the even further into the numerical age of the com­ puter. “In going from one (system) to the other, we have gained some ad­ vantages, but there also are drawbacks,” observed Mrs. Stanton. One of the more marked changes is that now each teller operates under in­ dividual lock-up. “When I started at the bank, we all worked out of one cash drawer,” noted Mrs. Stanton. In her 28 years behind the teller’s cage, Nyla has worked for five different managers, ranging from Ben Wales in 1955 to Eloise Wheeler, the present manager. Perhaps the most outstanding change Mrs. Stanton has witnessed in her tenure at the bank was the 1972 renovation which completely transformed the late 1920s facility ofmarble topped oak counters and brass cages into a modern version of glass and paneling. second largest banking operation in Michigan. Mrs. Stanton has seen many changes in banking since commencing her career in that field. “We are well into the computer age now,” she said. “When I started we were hand processing everything and all the work was done locally tin the Nashville office).” She noted that in the beginning, “We dealt in names” of customers. From there the system evolved into filing by account numbers and progressed PUBLIC NOTICE The adopted budget for fiscal year 1983 for the Township of Castleton is available for public inspection by appointment at Supervisor Cooley's, 512 N.

A native of Barry County, Mrs. Stanton grew up in the rural area of Dowling where her mother, Mrs. Marshall F. Pierce, still resides. She graduated from Hastings High School, and moved to Nashville for the first time in 1948. Later moving to Hastings she returned here in 1963, two years before she married local barber Myrton Watrous, who died in 1974. Nyla married Norman E. Stanton in 1977 and the couple now live in rural Dowling in a centennial farm which has been in his family for over 100 years. Stanton is a retired sales represen­ tative of a manufacturer of farmstead equipment. Mrs. Stanton has two children: Robert P. Abendroth of rural Dowling, who is employed by the Barry County Sheriff’s Dept., and Judy Cronk of Stoney Point, who is office manager of the radiology department at Pennock Hospital. The Abendroths have two children; and Judy and her husband, Roger, have four. Having been a pianist most all of her life and coming “from a whole family of musicians,” Mrs. Stanton hopes to have more time to enjoy music in her retirement. She also is looking forward to working in her flowerbeds, shopping for antiques which she avidly collects, traveling, and, of course, spending time with her family. “What I’m going to like most about retirement is having time to do all the things I like to do,” she noted. Mrs. Stanton also is in­ volved in her community and church. She plays piano at Nashville United Methodist Church for choir and other special events; is a member of the Evening Chapter of O.E.S., Vermontville; and is involved in Lions International through her husband who is past president of the local club. The public is cordially invited to stop in during Friday’s open house at Comerica to wish Nyla Stanton a happy retirement. Quit smoking, weight loss class offered here Have you noticed that your clothes are fitting a bit snugger lately? Have you noticed that your morning cigarette cough is getting steadily worse? If so, stop procrastinating and make the changes you know you need to make -­ now. You can be helped with Self Psych stop smoking and weight control sessions of­ fered by the Lakewood­ Maple Valley Adult Education Program on May 23, at Maple Valley High School, 11090 Nashville High­ way in Vermontville. David Rowe, clinical hypnotist with Self Psych, Inc., will hypnotically help participants reprogram their subconscious minds to want to become light eaters and non smokers. The stop smoking session will be at 6 p.m., the weight control session will be at 8:30 p.m., and the fee is $30. You can register for either by calling the adult education office at 852-9275. Rowe helps participants attack the emotional part of their mind that prevents them from making the habit changes they want. Emotions control a per­ son’s eating habits, Rowe says. “When people are blue, they think food will cheer them up. When they’re happy, they think food will help them celebrate.” Hypnosis conditioning helps change such attitudes and puts food in its proper per­ spective. “Most of us have many erroneous ideas that con­ tribute to overweight,” Rowe says, “For instance, once your subconscious accepts that you don’t need to feel guilty if you don’t eat every bite, you no longer have to clean your plate even when you’re not gunry.” Weight control par­ ticipants, who also receive reprogramming that keeps them from looking upon sweets as rewards, have reported weight losses ranging from 10 to a high of 259 pounds. Emtoions also control a person’s urge to smoke. “You smoke becuse it feels good,” Rowe says. “Grin­ ding up leaves, stuffing them in a tube of paper, gluing them together; setting fire to one end and sucking on it is not intelligent, so it’s pretty obvious you don’t smoke for intelligent reasons. Your intelligence knows you shouldn’t smoke.” Nicotine addiction is not the only thing that keeps smokers from kicking the habit, Rowe says. “The big hook is the psychological hook,” he said. “The chemical ad­ diction of nicotine is with­ drawn from your system in three to five days. The psychological addiction can take much longer, and that’s how hypnosis helps.” A postcard follow up in­ dicates that two out of three Self Psych stop smoking participants successfully kick the habit. Both sessions include four hypnotic inductions, literature and cassette tapes to reinforce the suggestions at home. Rowe is with Self Psych, Inc., which has offered hypnosis sessions for 94 community education programs throughout Michigan, for local American Lung Association affiliates in 74 cities in 11 states, for the Y.M.C.A. and Y.W.C.A. in 13 cities in 5 states, and for the Texas Public Health Association in 14 cities. Rowe was trained in hypnosis by Dr. Paul Adams and Hpnotherapist Jim Hoke, a nationally know behavior counselor and self help expert. He is a member of the Michigan Society of Ethical Hypnotists and the Mental Health Association in Michigan.

Also on the ballot will be five candidates who are seeking to fill the two fouryear terms that are open on the board of education. The candidates are David Hagon, James Bryan, Irma Gene Baker, Paula Cole, and Ronald Wheeler. Board members Virginia Fox and Charles Viele, whose terms expire June 30, are not seeking re-election. If approved the tax in­ crease will generate “roughly” $140,000, said Superintendent Carroll Wolff. He said “the ad­ ditional funds are necessary for continuation of the present educational program.” The additional millage, if approved, would amount to a property tax increase of $1.50 for each $1,000 of State Equalized Value. At the board’s May 9 meeting, Ronald Tobias was the only member who voted against placing the tax in­ crease proposal on the ballot. Although anticipated expenditures for the 1983-84 school year exceed an­ ticipated receipts, the June 30, 1983 cash balance plus state aid receivable is greater than this deficit amount being projected for expenditures and receipts for the 1983-84 school year. At this time, the budget is based upon the Governor’s state aid proposal which could easily vary before approval. The state delay in the payment of some state aid payments creates a cash flow problem for school districts. Fourth grade students Tonya Schaffer and Ryan Rosin made an interesting presentation regarding the organization and publishing of the Fuller Street Elementary newspaper which is part of the Maple Valley News. Both Tonya and Ryan are members of Dave Doozan’s fourth grade class at Fuller Street Elementary. Diane Kuemple made a presentation regarding having the sheriff’s department fingerprint the elementary students. This would be done on a voluntary basis with parental per­ mission, and all records would be turned over to the parents. This is being done in various schools throughout the state as a safety measure. The board ap­ proved having the sheriff’s department continue with such program. A general report was made regarding negotiation sessions -held with the teacher aides and ad­ ministrators. Discussion was held regarding approval of administrator salaries based upon a freeze in wages. No action was taken and this will be discussed at a special meeting to be held Monday, May 23 in the administration building beginning at 7 p.m. A letter was received from the Nashville PTO inviting board members to the second annual Pioneer Day to be held Friday, May 13 at Fuller Street School. A letter was received from Maplewood teacher aide Rose Formaz stating that she was scheduled to have surgery and would be unable to work after May 13. The board members ap­ proved a request from Fuller Street first grade teacher Claudette Holmberg for a personal leave for the 1983-84 school year. A long, heated discussion was held regarding the recommendation of athletic director Larry Lenz to employ Jerry Reese as varsity basketball coach’for the 1983-84 school year. Several parents in the audience expressed op- position and concern related to how the varsity basketball program had been handled in past years. Considering the general discussion, board president Wayne Cogswell appointed board members Dale Ossenheimer, David Hawkins, and Charles Viele to meet with Jerry Reese and concerned parents. No action was taken regarding coaches for the 1983-84 school year.

Following a brief policy committee meeting after the regular council session, committee head George Frith predicated that “a whole new policy” to collect delinquent bills will be enacted at the next council meeting May 19. He in- Dan Keech earns youth citizenship award by Susan Hinckley Dan Keech, 18, son of Mr. and Mrs. Russell Keech of rural Nashville, was for the use of the softball fields located behind the high school or the field located at Fuller Street Elementary site. Only member teams of the local softball association will be given permission to use the field for tournaments plus booster groups sup­ porting student activities or organizations such as little league or community youth groups. There will not be any charge for community youth groups, little league, or booster groups. Daryl Hartzler made a and last Tuesday received a special engraved plaque from Kandy Kane, student council president. Application for the award was processed by the Nash­ ville Police Dept. Established in 1969 by the State Association of Chiefs of Police, the Youth Citizenship Award is traditionally bestowed upon a senior and is based on scholarship, involvement in extra­ curricular activities, and contributions to the com­ munity through citizenship. Dan, who is president of the Class of ’83, will be at­ tending Texas A. & M. at College Station following his graduation from MVHS. He has been accepted as a candidate in the Naval Reserve Officers Training program at that school. Dan has been a member of the local chapter of the National Honor Society for the past four years and also has been very active in MVHS athletics: football, four years; basketball, two years; and track and wrestling, each one year. Now that Dan has been awarded the local youth citizenship award, he is eligible to seek further honors in state competition sponsored by the MACP. dicated that the new policy will be tougher than the present policy adopted last fall which allows a water user to retain service by making a “good faith” payment on past due bills while paying the current monthly billing in full. At Thursday^ meeting, four new cases of uncollected accounts were assigned to Small Claims Division of 56th District Court. In April the council approved court action against 12 other in­ dividuals for non payment of water bills totalling ap­ proximately $840. The four assigned Thursday total about $300. The sujts are the first step in a procedure to collect bills which, if still unpaid after legal action, will be added to taxes assessed against the property. Most of these are bills owed by tenants, which means the landlord will ultimately be responsible for the debt. The council initially planned to present six new cases each week to the court, but about half the 36 persons targeted for suit settled the past due bills when notified of the proposed action, said Village Clerk Susan Cork­ well. < In another step to stem the tide of water delinquency, service was to be shut off Friday to six homes where users had made no attempt to settle overdue bills, as stipulated in the current village policy. In a list of some 20 potential “shut offs” presented Thursday to the council by Mrs. Corkwell, delinquency amounts ranged from individual totals of $17 to $385. In the latter, the customer was paying only $2 per month toward reducing the delinquent amount. Council members concurred that was not enough to show “good faith.” Shut-off notices are sent as a matter of routine to deliquent customers with each monthly billing, but Frith indicated an upcoming policy will show that the village means business. “Anyone who received a shut-off notice and paid nothing on the deliquent balance (this month) will be shut off Friday,” declared Frith. Council members generally expressed support of the get- tough policy. “We’ve got to nip it (the delinguency) right now,” said Trustee Gerald Kent. “If we don’t act we are not fulfilling our obligation to (serve) the people who elected us.” He said the council cannot let the situation slide, as it is “not fair to the payers to not try to collect from the non payers.” Ken predicted that if the delinquency gets out of hand the council will be in a position of having to request a rate increase from everyone in order to continue operation of the municipal water and sewer system. One user who objected to the current billing system at Thursday’s meeting was Calvin Rizor, proprietor of an antique shop on Main Street. He said the village recently shut bff his water, service because of a $119 water bill he had not paid, but he said he was protesting the fact that he was being billed basic charges of $13 a month for both the store and the upstairs apartment where he resides. He said since both are served by “one line in and one line out” there should be only one charge for the two units. “There are two separate things going on in that building,” responded Village President John Hughes. “It is ludicrous (to think) that we would run two water lines and two sewer lines to that building.” Hughes explained that such a system would be financially prohibitive. “We ar paying for a bonded indebtedness (for the system) and a portion of the COUNCIL, cont. on page 7 �The Maple Valley News, Nashville, Tuesday, May 17, 1983 — Page 2 Nashville News As this report was being prepared, Nashville was busy arranging for Monday’s visit of a delegation of Mendon officials in the annual Mayor’s Exchange Day — a traditional kickoff to the statewide Michigan Week observance. Tours of local businesses, municipal facilities, schools, etc. were on the May 16 agenda with a luncheon at the Community Center in Putnam Park. In the evening, the visitors and their hosts were to have dinner with the Nashville Lions Club at the Community House of the United Methodist Church. Wed­ nesday, Nashville officials in a delegation headed by Village President John Hughes will visit Mendon, a St. Joseph County com­ munity of 951. Vermontville is slated to exchange mayors with Cassopolis, with a local delegation visiting the Cass County town of 1,933 population on Monday. Wednesday, Vermontville will host a reciprocal visit by Cassopolis officials. Nelson Brumm, secretary­ treasurer of the local Lions Club, extends thanks on behalf of the organization for community support of the club’s recent White Cane campaign in Nashville. He. said 1983 contributions came within just a small amount of equaling donations collected here last year in the program for Lions’ sight programs. He also reminds readers that Lions now are collecting used eyeglasses for the needy. Glasses may be- deposited at Mace Pharmacy. This also is the time when Lions begin contacting local folks for birthday, anniversary and meeting listings to be published on the 1983-84 Lions Community Calendar. Orders for the calendars also are taken now. The community was saddened to learn that former local resident Thomas Maker died Mon­ day, May 9, in Florida — where he and his wife, Carma, have resided since their retirement about 25 years ago. They had lived in NashviHe from 1947 until that time, and during their residence founded the chain of Maker’s IGA sotres here and at three other locations in central Michigan. Longtime readers of The Nashville News (forerunner of the Maple Valley News) will recall the popular “Tom’s Comer”, a column Measure of a man. Not how did he die - but how did he live? Not what did he gain - but, what did he give? Not what was his station - * but had he a heart? Not what was his church - but did he befriend those in need?

They lived at Olds Hall, Good Samaritan Center, 325 S. Segrave St., Daytona Beach, at the time of his death and Mrs. Maker remains there. Their son and his wife, Billy and Bonnie Maker of Nash­ ville, flew to Florida for services held Wednesday. Coincidentally, their daughter, Becky, was already in Florida on her senior trip with Maple Valley’s Class of ’83, and had visited her grandparents at the nursing home on Sunday — just the day before Tom died. In addition to his wife and son, he is survived by a daughter, Carma Bishop of Daytona Beach, and a sister, former local resident Rose Smith of Largo, Fla., plus five grandchildren. Con­ dolences are extended to the family. A special Charge Con­ ference meeting of the Nash­ ville United Methodist Church is set for 7:30 p.m. Wednesday, May 25, to elect a lay delegate to the annual UMC conference to be held at Albion College, May 31 June 4. The United Methodist Church will conduct two services Sunday, May 22, at the Barry County jail in Hastings. Enjoyed both a letter and visit last week from Marion Snow Johnson of Charlotte, who grew up in Nashville and said she was “real pleased” to see the lyrics of the old high school song published recently in the Memories column. “We used to sing it at all the assembly programs (in school) and also at the alumni banquets until the two schools com­ bined,” remembered Mrs. Johnson. “Bunny Shaw had told me one time that it was one of her friends who had written it.” (As pointed out in the column, the lyrics were written by NHS student Zaida Keyes sometime prior to her graduation in 1913.) Mrs. Johnson noted that when she was in school, the words were sung, “We are loyal students... rather National Public Works Week MAY 22-28, 1983 — PROCLAMATIONS — WHEREAS public work services provided in our community are in integral part of our citizens' everyday lives; and WHEREAS the support of an understanding and informed citizenry is vital to the efficient operation of public works systems and programs such as water, sewers, streets and highways, public buildings, solid waste collection, and snow removal; and WHEREAS the health, safety, and comfort of this community greatly depend on these facilities and services; and WHEREAS the quality and effectiveness of these facilities, as well as their planning, design, and construction are vitally dependent upon the efforts and skill of public works officials; and WHEREAS the efficiency of the qualified and dedicated personnel who staff public works departments is materially influenced by the people's attitude and understanding of the importance of the work they perform; now therefore BE IT RESOLVED that I, John Hughes, Mayor of the Village of Nashville do hereby proclaim May 22-28, 1983 as NATIONAL PUBLIC WORKS WEEK iin Nashville, and call upon all citizens and civic organizations to acquaint themselves with the problems involved in providing our public works and to recognize the contributions that public works officials make everyday to our health, safety^ and comfort. By Susan Hinckley than scholars” as recorded in the official lyrics by Miss Keyes. She won­ dered if others had noted this difference. On another topic, Marion Johnson, quite by coin­ cidence, mentioned Dad Angell, who also was remembered by Guy Howell in his boyhood recollections currently being featured in the Memories column. Sterns Dad Angell sponsored Guy at boys’ camp one summer at Pine Lake. Mrs. Johnson remembers Dad Angell, a Hastings man who was a great benefactor of youths of that era, as one who arranged many of the school assemblies held in Nashville. “He used to bring in so many interesting speakers — missionaries who had traveled in other countries, etc.”, recalled Marion. ‘‘We were so fascinated hearing about the customs (of foreign lands). We didn’t have TV in those days!” She also noted that for assemblies, seventh and eighth graders joined up­ perclassmen in the “high room” and students had to double up, two to a seat, to make room for the influx. Remembering Dad Angell, Mrs. Johnson recalls going to Hi-Y camp at Pine Lake and meeting his daughter, Mildred, who was the counselor in her tent. At a later time, Marion returned to camp as a worker in the kitchen and recalls Dad Angell joining the cooks for meals there. “Dad” was a nickname. As we understand it, the real name of this man who earned so much ad­ miration and respect from the youths of that day, was Charles F. Angell, who in the 1920s was an officer in the YMCA, according to a Barry County directory of that era. Perhaps our readers can englighten us further on this subject. Former local resident Mrs. Betty Irwin and her son, Jim Elliston, of BeverlyShores, Indiana, were in Nashville several days last week visiting family and friends. Mrs; Gunda Pennock of Nashville recently returned home following a two-weeks visit to Staten Island in New York City to see her sister, Mrs. Gudrun Knutsen. While there, she attended the wedding of the latter’s granddaughter, Susan Salveson, at Little Silver, New Jersey.

The next meeting of the club will be the annual Sunshine Party at Riverside Cafe, Bellevue, at 12:30 p.m., June 9. Secret pal identities will be revealed by gifts that day. Mr. and Mrs. Richard Green and Mrs. Doris Marshall, all of Nashville, were among the thousands of senior citizens who con­ verged on the state capital Tuesday, May 10, for Michigan’s Senior Power Day. The event started with a morning coffee hour at Lansing’s Civic Center. Commencing at 9:30 a.m. in the auditorium, a lineup of speakers talked to the seniors until 2 p.m., when many of the visitors ad­ journed to the capitol building for a tour. During the day, a box lunch was served at noon to the seniors in.the auditorium. Discussed during the day were eight proposals on the 1983 Senior Platform presented to lawmakers for consideration. Among the dignitaries addressing the group Tuesday were Governor James Blanchard; Senate majority leader William Faust; Speaker of the House Gary Owens; Secretary of State Richard Austin; House minority leader Michael Busch; U.S. Senator John Heinz, chairman of the special senate committee on aging; and William Marshall, president of the Michigan AFL-CIO. A group of local ladies and relatives joined 180 other women bowlers for a recent chartered flight from Battle Creek to Las Vegas to compete in the National Women’s Bowling Tour­ nament. The annual event was held this year at Showboat Lanes in Vegas. The ladies stayed at the Dunes Hotel and enjoyed the traditional sightseeing, which included trying their luck in the casinos and taking in stage shows. One of the stars they saw was singer Paul Anka. They also attended an hilarious “Boylesque” show which featured female impersonators. Those from here making the trip were Lois Elliston, Janet Gardner, June Decker, Thelma Christopher, Jean Welker, Joan Elliston, Joyce Aspinall; Phyllis Beard of Portland; Shirley Raymond of Hastings; and Phyllis Bassett of Battle Creek.

Organizers of the 1983 Nashville Bike Rodeo report that they registered 70 bicycles at the Saturday event at Kellogg School. The safety and security program, sponsored by Maple Valley Jaycees and Nashville Cub Scouts, teaches safety and security regarding bicycle operation and observance of traffic laws — but a primary goal is to register all bikes with special tags which correspond to files kept at the Nashville Police Dept. This aids police in tracking down the bike in case of theft. The tags were provided free to all bike owners through the generosity of the Cub Scouts, the Jaycees, the local V.F.W. Post 8260, and the Nashville Chamber of Commerce. Organizers expressed thanks for these contributions supporting the Bike Rodeo. If you missed out on Saturday’s event, you can still take advantage of the program by bringing your bike to village hall for tagging and registration at the police department. The program is offered free to bike owners of all ages.

The story by Howell, who also fur­ nished accompanying photos of his growing-up years in Nashville, is being published in three consecutive issues of the Maple Valley News. The first installment appeared on May 10.) MEMORIES OF NASHVILLE by Guy Howell I guess I was just an average student in the lower grades in school. We played various games. In spring and summer we played marbles, crack-the-whip, pom-pompullaway and various kinds of tag. We also played redlight blue-light as a fancy hide and seek. I remember the first marbles I had; just a few of the clay variety. The big boys were tossing marbles at a hole in the ground and they asked me to join them. I started winning marbles until I had both of the front pockets in my trousers crammed full. I got two safetypins from somewhere to hold them shut. I found out later that the older boys just let me win. I went into the school and sat down at my desk. A marble rolled out of my pocket. Such a clatter on the floor! After another two or three rolled out, to the amusement of the other students, the teacher called me to her desk and, producing a box, told me she would keep my marbles for me till time to go home. At this writing, I have a collection of glass marbles that numbers in the hun­ dreds, some of them old-time fancy ones. In due time, I left the lower floor of the Nashville school and went upstairs to the seventh grade, where Ruth Van Horn was my teacher. She stood a little over six feet tall and, from her build, I would imagine she weighed over 200 pounds, and none of it (or very little) was fat. We had lots of fun in her class, but when we were supposed to study, she was a no­ nonsense teacher. When she said to do something, we knew we had better do it. She was good on dramatics. We put on several plays under her tutelage. One I remember very well was “Evangeline”, about the Acadians who were driven out of their set­ tlements into Louisiana. It is from them that the name Cajun was derived. We put that play on for the town­ speople, in the Methodist Community Center. I was dressed as a British soldier, red coat and all, complete with an octagon-barrel musket. That sure was a heavy thing. For my 14th birthday, I received a Brownie box camera. It used 120 film and tqok good pictures for that day. There was no time exposure or flash at- NASHVILLE VFW #8260 CHICKEN & FISH FRY FRIDAY, APRIL 15 Serving ... 5:30 to 7:30 P.M.

We did it occasionally for awhile. Then one day we saw a nice field of cantaloupes alongside the railroad track, just a little west of the Greggs Crossing bridge over the Thornapple River. Over the fence we went and, bending low, managed to ge,t four nice ones apiece. We started back toward the railroad and, just as we were pushing the melons under the fence, the farmer hollered at u,s. Over the fence we went, grabbed up our melons and ran down the tracks. The farmer was gaining on us so we took to the bushes that grew along the river, in which we could go faster than the farmer. We soon outdistanced him and I reckon he went back home. We kept on till we came to the bridge, where we sat and ate the melons. The next year we went back along the railroad, but there was nothing planted in that field. However, in another field, nearer the river, we saw some beautiful big watermelons. We went back toward the bridge and cut over to the river, where we went along under the bank (which was high) until we were even with the field. We had fallen into the river two or three times on the trip, but we crawled cautiously up the bank and peeked over the top. We were looking at the most beautiful field of — Blue Hubbard Squash we had ever seen! I reckon the farmer had the last laugh. Other times we would take a skillet and a little bacon, and head down the river. We would pass some cornfields from which we would “borrow” a couple of nice ears and, while passing a potato field, we would scrape under a vine and borrow three or four nice potatoes. We would continue down the river to a favorite sandbar that stuck out into the river, build a fire and get a tin can we had stashed away. We would boil the corn, fry some bacon, then in the bacon grease we would fry the Continued next page �The Maple Valley News, Nashville, Tuesday.

I reckon it was wrong, but we didn’t think about that at the time. ■We figured we weren’t ac­ tually hurting anyone, and we let it go at that. In the winter we would continue on up the railroad to a shack beside the tracks, which was called the Half­ way House. It was halfway between sections on the railroad, and the section men used, it to restand eat their lunches. It had a pot­ belly iron stove, and there was always wood and coal in it. We would eat our lunch there. We had a good time in those days. One day there were three of us going along the tracks Mace Pharmacy 207 N.

The glass shanty was originally the sugar shanty that stood in the park until Maple Manor was built. In 1972, the girl scouts were allowed to use the shanty in a glass recycling project. Just drop off your clean glass in bags or boxes. The troops take turns going out and separating bottles which are then taken to the OwensIllinois plant in Charlotte. Each year the money earned on cullet (glass returned for recycling) is divided by all the girl scout troops in Vermontville. We do want to thank everyone and all the businesses that have continued to drop off their glass for the past years, said a Scout spokesperson. Please drop off clean glass only. No metal or plastic, window glass, light bulbs or trash please. The glass shanty is open year round.

The Maple Valley typing and office block students were visited Thursday, April 28 (all day) by Pete Mogg, admissions counselor of Davenport College. He brought with him a word processing computer. The students were given a short lecture on the different functions and parts of the computer. Each student was also given a chance to type a sentence on the computer. They were also shown how to correct their errors. Word processing is becoming very popular in many businesses. It is much more efficient than ordinary typewriters. It can type 120 characters a second, while the fastest typists in the typing class can type bet­ ween 60-80 words a minute. The students were able to ask questions about the word processor, and the day turned out to be very educational and enjoyable. Students enjoy ‘tasty” geometry lesson by Karen Long The geometry classes of Mr. Dan Watson’s first and fourth hours had fun finding the areas of circles on Thursday, May 5. And why was this day more fun than most? The reason is that the circles turned out to be pizzas. That’s right, pizzas! They were ordered from Riedy’s Pizza in Charlotte, and Big George’s in Nashville. Each student was given the assignment of finding the cost per square inch of a 10, 12, 14 and 16 inch pizza. The students had fun with this assignment and the homework tasted good.

After the awards, refreshments will be served to everyone by a committee headed by Mrs. Watson and Mrs. Jarvie. National Honor Society members will act as ushers. This event is open to the public. Everyone is invited. Please come and see for yourself the vast talents of our youth. Something to smile about... by Karen Long The Maple Valley Senior High Student Council has started a new tradition here at Maple Valley. What is this new tradition? Why the Happy Gram of course. A Happy Gram is dike a telegram that a student can have delivered to another student or a teacher. The purpose of these grams are to tell the person something or to thank them. The Happy Grams can even be delivered anonymously. On May 27 our school will be having a Senior Happy Gram Day. Anyone can send a gram but only the Seniors are to receive them. There will be an all school Gram Day on Monday, June 6. This new tradition is really catching on and hopefully it’ll stick around for awhile longer. Date set for Maple Valley athletic physicals June 4 Athletic physicals for the next school year will be given on Saturday, June 4 at Maple Valley Jr. Sr. High School. Boys physicals will be given from 10 to 11:30 a.m. Girls physicals from 11:30 to 1 p.m. The cost will be $5. Dr. James Balger will be the physician in charge.

The win raises the Lions' S.M.A.A. record to 6-3 with a 10-3 overall record. Junior Jeff Starring pit­ ched an outstanding game for the Lions, allowing just four hits while striking out 11 and walking four. The win raises Starring’s record to 4­ 2. Starring also led the Lions’ hitters with three singles and two runs batted in. Maple Valley took a 1-0 lead in the top of the third inning when Starring hit a single to drive in Marty Martin who had opened the inning with a single and had moved to second on a wild pitch. Bronson, however, tied the score in the bottom of the third and then scored two unearned runs in the fourth to take a 3-1 lead. The score remained 3-1 until the seventh when Maple Valley started its game-winning rally. SILK and LIVE FLOWER I ARRANGEMENTS ...FOR... z For your departed loved ones. Martin opened the inning with a single and stole second base. Bob Brumm hit a single and Martin scored on a throwing error by the centerfielder with Brumm ending up at the third base. Starring then got his third hit of the game to drive in Brumm. Senior Tony Dunkelberger then hit a single to center. However, Scott Whitmore, who was running for Starring, was called out on a play at third base as the umpire ruled he had purposely knocked the ball out of the fielder’s hand as he made a head first slide. Dunkelberger went to second on the play on Whitmore and sophomore . Gary Lenz promptly drove him in with a double to left center field to score the winning run. Starring put down the Vikings, in order in the seventh to nail down the victory. The Lions will play Bronson again this Thursday in Vermontville, beginning at 4:30 p.m. Friday night, the Lions will be leaving for Detroit for a weekend stay with the baseball team from New Baltimore (Anchor Bay).

Corkwell weekly report from - A ERNEST NASH State Representative GOVERNOR PLANS SUMMER JOBS - The centerpiece of Governor Blanchard’s economic recovery package is a summer work program for 80,000 youths and unemployed workers and nearly half of the program will be financed through President Reagan’s recently enacted federal high­ way and jobs bills. The Governor also stated that he might “consider” steps to ease the burden of the Single Business Tax, but only after the state’s economy improves. HOUSE REPUBLICAN RECOVERY PLAN - The House Republican Caucus unveiled a 38-point recovery program, or Economic Agenda, that addresses the need to undertake regulatory reform, the need to further reduce the cost of doing business in Michigan, and the need for long-range state policies that will encourage new job growth and will get Michigan working again. ANOTHER TAX CHECKOFF PROPOSED - The House Taxation Committee has approved legislation that would allow Michigan taxpayers to designate $2 of their income tax refunds for a special fund that would create habitat im­ provements for non-game wildlife, including the Kirtland warbler, osprey, gray wolves and other endangered species. If approved by the full House and Senate, and signed into law by the Governor, Michigan income tax forms would have three different checkoffs: one for the support of public financing of gubernatorial campaigns, one for the Children’s Trust Fund, and one for the animal protection fund. UNEMPLOYMENT DROP REFLECTS NATIONAL TREND - Michigan experienced a major drop in unem­ ployment in April, the Michigan Employment Security Commission reports. Statistics for April show a decline of 1.5 percent, as 115,000 Michigan residents began working again. There are currently 649,000 unemployed people in Michigan, the lowest total since October, 1982. Nationally, the jobless rate declined from 10.3 percent in March to 10.2 percent in April. SPORT FISHING PROSPECTS BRIGHT - The Michigan Department of Natural Resources reports that more sport fish than ever will be stocked in Michigan lakes this year. By the end of October, state fisheries crews will have stocked the Great Lakes with 3.5 million lake trout, 3 million coho, 5.7 million chinook, 1.9 million steelhead, 250,000 rainbow trout, and 900,000 brown trout. Inland lakes will be stocked with a total of nearly 3 million trout, 750,000 muskel-lunge, bass and panfish, and 250,000 northern pike. Most of this year’s stock are fingerlings, yearlings, and fry. ACTIVE WEEKEND AHEAD - Biking, fishing, flying, horses and baseball fill Michigan’s calendar this weekend. Saturday, May 21, is the Lewiston Spring Bike Race, 40 miles for $7, sponsored by the Lewiston Chamber of Com­ merce, beginning at 9:30 a.m. May 19-20 is the Spring Horse Show at the Michigan Fairgrounds in Detroit.

The historic Vermontville museum-academy was one of many stops on the tour, which was a reciprocal visit after a Vermontville delegation visited Cassopolis on Monday ((Maple Valley News photo by Susan Hinckley) Cassopolis Mayor Robert L. Thompson, with an exuberant spirit that gave little clue to his 83 year age, toured Vermontville Wed­ nesday with an entourage of visitors as part of the 1983 Michigan Mayor Exchange Day. A delegation from Ver­ montville, led by President Bill Mason, was in Cassopolis Monday for a visit hosted by Thompson and other officials. At Vermontville Thomp­ son accepted a symbolic key to the village from Mason with a quip, “I promise not to unlock anything with this that is determental to the visitors!” On a more serious note Thompson, descendant of a Louisiana slave family, extended greetings from Cassopolis to Vermontville and expressed pleasure at meeting new friends “whom we hope will become long established friends.” He also expressed ap­ preciation for Vermontville’s hospitality. Thompson, who lived 54 years in Chicago before retiring to Cassopolis in 1979/ is a former Illinois state legislator and former deputy fire marshal of that state. He was elected mayor of Cassopolis on a write-in campaign in March of 1982. The southwest Michigan community, population 1,933, is the seat of Cass County. During Monday’s visit there, the Vermontville delegation visited various sites including the school, village park, etc., and en­ joyed being guests at the Thompson home. They also toured several industries including the Smith Hoist Company which manufac­ tures hoists with a 20 story capacity. Those making the trip to Cassopolis in addition to President Mason and his wife, Sharon, were Dept, of Public Works Superin­ tendent Tony Wawiernia and his wife, Charlie; village DPW employee Monte O’Dell; and Deputy Village Clerk Jill Booher. They in turn hosted the Wednesday visit of the Cassopolis delegation which included Mayor Thompson and his wife, Elizabeth; council members Hugh Henderson, Willie Booker, and Violet Wirick; DPW superintendent Garrett Snyder and his wife, Vivian; Sylvia Bosler, Clerk, and Thelma Broussard, wife of a councilman. The tour at Vermontville started with a coffee hour at the new village office. Other stops on the agenda were at Maple Valley High School where the band led by Duane Thatcher performed for the visitors; the Vermontville opera house; local churches; the museum; municipal sewer facility; and Martin’s sugar bush operation. Lunch was served at Carpenter’s Den. The evening dinner which was attended by community members in honor of the visitors was prepared by ladies of the First Congregational Church and served in the Griswold Room.

Former local resident Dione (Shaw) Antes con­ ttinues to improve at Blodgett Hospital in Grand Rapids, recovering from serious injuries sustained in a May 15 auto crash near that city. The daughter of William and Artha (Burdick) Shaw of Nashville, Dione and her husband, Bryon Antes, were en route to their home in Grand Rapids at the time of the accident. She was asleep in the front passenger seat in the auto driven by her husband when a southbound vehicle crossed the centerline of M-37 and struck the Antes car.

He underwent knee surgery at Blodgett and is still confined there at the time of this report. His wife will be in traction for about two months and then wear leg braces to heal seriously fractured legs and pelvis. She also sustained scalp and neck lacerations.

The first installment of Howell’s storty appeared on May 10.) Memories of Nashville by Guy Howell We did quite a lot of fishing in those days, too. There were no licenses to worry about. Various species of fish had to be a certain length and there was a limit on how many a person could keep in one day. The length for great northern pike was 12 inches. We called them hammer handles, as they were about that size around. And bones! Whew! They had hundreds of little pitchfork bones in them. I never kept anything under about 3 lbs. One day, when I was around 16, I was out at Gus Morganthaler’s place. There was a small pond there so, as a joke, I put on my hip boots, which I had just gotten, took my casting rod and a spear that my cousin Gus had and made out like I had a big fish on my line that I was going to spear. In reality there weren’teven any minnows in the pool. In the spring the Thor­ napple River would flood. When the water went down a little some men would put up dip nets on the river bank just below the dam to catch suckers nd mullet. One man (I don’t remember his name) had The Chevrolet Six owned by W.

Wallace, Nashville school superintendent and agriculture teacher, is towed from the scene after being struck by a V-8 Ford in the spring of 1931 at Kombach ("Comback") Corners just installed a new 8 ft. net. He pulled it up out of the water one time and there was an enormous pike in it.. wasanenormouspen Before he could lower the net back into the water the fish had thrashed around, torn a 2 ft. hole in the net and was gone. The man said he would judge the wieght of that fish to be at least 18 or 20 lbs. In 1932 I was taking agriculture with W.D. Wallace, the Superintendent, as teacher. Occasionally we would go to the Michigan State College (now University) to study their livestock and to take a short course in Agriculture. One day, when we were returning from such a trip in Mr. Wallace’s car, we were just pulling out on the north south highway to Kombach Cor­ ners when a V-8 Ford came in sight from our right, traveling at a fast rate. Mr. Wallace tried to turn to go the same way, but couldn’t make it and the Ford hit the back door on the right side. We all of us, left the road. Mr. Wallace was riding his brakes to keep from going into the ditch and rolling. There were six of us in the car. I was sitting on the right side, where the back door was t6rn off, and I passed out. I heard someone telling me to get out. I finally did, and fell in a heap on the ground. I was finally able to sit up, and someone said In 1931, at age 18, Guy Howell enrolled in Citizens' Military Training at Camp Custer near Battle Creek.

I managed to get up and hobble over there, where the doctor checked me and found no broken bones. I hobbled back to the car to get my cap, which had been knocked off by the impact. Someone with a car took us home. Mr. Wallace came into our house and explained to my folks what had happenewd. I went to bed. A short time later our family doctor arrived and checked me out. He also found no broken bones, so I went back to bed. The following morning I was paralyzed from my waist down. I couldn’t even wiggle my toes. My mother and brother got me up after a few days and started trying to help me to walk. They got me to pushing a chair ahead of me. I had a pair of ski poles and my Dad drove back the spikes in them, and I started using them. I went to school that way for several weeks.

A variety of exciting activities filled the May 16-20 agenda for the 65 member student body of the K-12 Christian school established in 1980 in the education wing of Nashville Church of the Nazarene. Among Homecoming events were Monday’s “backwards day” when the youngsters came to school wearing clothing turned back to front; and Tuesday’s Nationality Day for which the children dressed in costumes representing various foreign lands. On Wednesday each student dressed in his or her “best clothes” and Thursday was the day for wearing jeans and western style clothing. Friday’s activities in­ cluded a Disney Day at the school and an afternoon softball game with Parents and Staff challenging a team of Jr.-Sr. High students. The highlight of the week was election of a king and queen from the high school and a prince and princess from each room of un- derclassmen. Selection was made by student vote. Named as king and queen were Jerry Zinger and Lisa Phares. Prince and prin­ cesses were Jeffrey Sickmiller and Jennifer Hurless, from Mrs. Putnam’s room; Jason Hurless, Amy Roscoe, Brad Ashcraft and Lisa Corkwell from Mrs. Morganthaler’s room; and Tony Strong and Janice Hamilton from Mr. Ream’s room.

Theodore (Ted) F. Bustance, Transportation Manager for Barry County Transit, has announced the financial results and ridership numbers for the first year of operation. Bustance advises that 45,462 people have been transported in the first year of operation. Most im­ portantly they have returned 24c on a dollar of revenue through fares in this first year. This is, incidently, 1012c better than any other transit system in its first year of operation in the State of Michigan for County In­ centive. He is pleased to advise that Barry County Transit is spending at least 95 percent of all monies in Barry County. What this does is that it returns back to Barry County approximately $224,347 of gasoline tax monies that would have otherwise have went to some other metropolitan area. Bustance notes that the senior citizen’s of the county would not have had a bus system after September 1, 1982 because of the financial — PLEASE NOTE — MAPLE VALLEY LAWN MOWER at 10479 Nashville Hwy.

A breakdown of the figures shows that the service is transporting: 44 percent contractual work, 36 percent senior citizens, 4 percent handicap, 4 percent students, and 12 percent general public. Bustance would like to also make sure that the people of Barry County understand exactly where this funding is coming from. First of all a little history is in order. In 1978 there was a vote of the people to take a portion of the money set aside for mass transportation. Of that a portion was set up for County Incentive systems to operation as follows: - They would receive 100 percent funding for two (2) years, minus revenues. - The third year would be 75-25 local funding. - The fourth year would be 50-50 matching funds. It is Barry County Tran­ sit’s goals to bring in 34c this year, 40 percent next year and in our fourth year be the first self- supporting transit system in the State of Michigan. “We think this goal can be achieved through consolidation of the present systems in Barry County. We think that through this we can increase our ridership and we will be able to make this goal of self- sufficiency, and not require funding their McMillens to observe 50th Mr. and Mrs. Keith Mc­ Millen of Nashville will observe their 50th wedding anniversary with an open house, starting at_3 p.m. on Sunday, June 12, at their home on 730 Reed St., in Nashville.

This could not have been achieved without the cooperation of a fine staffand our goal of self­ sufficiency which all of the people of Barry County Transit wish to ac­ complish.” “We started our system by operating five buses and then we determined that we only needed three buses to get the same amount of work done, and in September of last year we added a work route, plus picked up students which puts our fleet up to four buses of which we have one available bus. This one available bus we are planning to get into operation in September of this year in the townships of Orangeville, Hope, Prairieville and Barry,” said Bustance. Burstance would like to personally thank all of the people for their patronage in riding Barry County Transit in their first year and making it such a success. “It is our goal to supply the people of Barry County better service and pick up times in our next fiscal year,” he said. “Again, if there are any people in the Nashville area Youth age 9-19 who wish to participate in the Eaton County 4-H Rodeo Club should attend the next meeting scheduled for Tuesday, May 31.

An electric blanket is blamed for a fire that damaged two bedrooms, a bath, and the roof of the Jerry Gray home on Barryville Road. Mrs. Gray was asleep under the blanket when it ignited shortly after 11 p.m. Tuesday, May 17. Her husband, watching TV in the living room, heard her scream and ran into the bedroom where he discovered the' fire. Mrs. Gray was not injured. Nash­ ville Fire Chief Doug Yarger estimated structural damage at $30,000 and contents loss at $20,000. The Grays have insurance.

Point out sections of the library where appropriate books are located. Obtain a library card and encourage youngsters to use it. Develop a sense of responsibility in children by having the books returned on time. Reading is a family affair! Read to your young children on a frequent basis. Make reading an enjoyable ex­ perience. Occasionally ask questions of your youngster after a story is read to them. Children like to receive mail addressed especially to them. An inexpensive subscription to a learning publication will provide many hours of activity. Encourage regular reading by having youngsters make a scrap­ book offavorite sports teams or athletics using the daily newspaper or magazines as a source. Make summer vacations a learning experience.

Make plans to stop at historical or geographic points of interest while on a trip. Look for places that are covered in school textbooks. Encourage children to learn how to use road maps to sharpen skills on direc­ tions, scales and distances. Point out changes in agricultural patterns while traveling. Note the kinds of' crops being planted. Describe how cultivation is done to prevent erosion in hilly terrain. Point out growth patterns of crops and when the material will be harvested. Determine in advance if industrial tours are available in cities being visited. Tours are an inex­ pensive way to learn about commerce,’ mass produc­ tion, and working habits. Check age limits. Many factories do not allow small children. When visiting area locations, ask if your child has been to the place as part of a school field trip. If so, Wed. Thru Tues. Sale Open 9-6 Mon. thru Sat. The Saving Place have them take you on the tour. While traveling have children keep a list of automobile mileage, gasoline fill ups and money spent on fuel. Not only will it allow your youngsters an opportunity to compute miles per gallon, it will also help them better understand family travel expenses. Books, games and magazines are helpful for keeping children occupied in the car while on a trip. Find a special book or game and hide it until later in the trip. Something new and different will hold their interest longer. Note rivers, lakes and other bodies of water when traveling. Talk about where the water goes. Note how cities depend on rivers and lakes. Take children places, talk with them, explain things. A trip to the grocery store can give children practical lessons in economics, nutrition and agriculture. Take advantage of special library offerings, plays, theater groups, zoo activities and craft programs. Encourage individual responsibility by giving the child a task that must be completed daily or weekly without having to be reminded. Encourage children to follow through on simple chores at home.

In event of rain, the ceremony will be moved to the high school gym­ nasium. Kenyote speaker will be Robert E. Townsend, media director of the Ingham In­ termediate School District. A former minister at Ver­ montville’s Methodist Church in the 1960s, Townsend will speak on the topic, “Futurist All”. He holds degrees from Michigan State University, Eastern Michigan University, and Albion College. Rev. Lester DeGroot of Nashville Baptist Church will deliver the invocation and benediction, and music will be provided by Maple Valley High School Band led by Music Director Duane Thatcher. A special selection will be, “We’ve Only Just Begun”. Principal Burr Hartenburg will announce the names of the graduates, and diplomas will be presented by Board of Education members Wayne Cogswell, Virginia Fox and Charles Viele, Sr. Among the 114 seniors participating in the eVent will be the Top Ten honor students, including co­ valedictorians Lori Gardner and Teresa Rozell and salutatorian Rebecca Eaton. All three will deliver ad­ dresses during Sunday’s program. Lori, daughter of Mt. and Mrs. Terry Gardner of Nash­ ville, has been an active member of the National Honor Society; has worked in the school office; served as secretary of the student council and played softball. She plans to be married in June and work as a secretary. She compiled a 3.9 grade point average to earn valedictorian honors, as did Teresa Rozell, who shares the top spot with Lori. Teresa is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Richard A. Rozell of Nashville. She has been the current president of Maple Valley’s chapter of the National Honor Society and has taken vocational courses in computerized accounting through Davenport College. She plans to attend Adrian College to pursue the study of accounting and com­ puters. Rebecca Eaton, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Arnold Eaton of Vermontville is the salutatorian of the Class of 1983 — carrying on a family tradition. Her brother, Leonard, was salutatorian of last year’s graduating class and sister Celia was Maple Valley’s valedictorian in 1981. Rebecca has served as treasurer of the local chapter of the National Honor Society; has been a flag corps captain; member of the band; served on the Quiz Bowl team; student council; yearbook staff; has been in the Varsity Club; a cast member of the recent school musical; and in track. She was a member of the 1982 Vermontville Maple Syrup queen’s court. She plans to attend college to acquire a business degree. Other members of the Top Ten are Scott Bracy, Rebecca Dale, Daniel Halsey, Suzanne R. Horn, Charlie Kalnbach, Raymond Lee Lundquist, and Denise M. Shank. At WJIM-TV studios in Lansing this week, Lori Gardner and Teresa Rozell are to join other valedic­ torians in this area for taping of an interview with the seniors which will be broadcast at a later date. Vermontville readers are lops' in five-county region for helping MS Vermontville’s Maplewood Elementary youngsters outread students in 38 schools in a five county region to take top Central Branch honors in the 1983 Multiple Sclerosis Read-athon. In addition to topping schools in the counties of Eaton, Ingham, Clinton, Shiawassee, and Livingston, the Vermontville school ranked in the top ten of 336 Michigan schools par­ ticipating in the fundraiser. Maplewood youngsters read a total of 1,505 books to earn $3,688.55 for the MS organization In the read-athon, children read books to earn pledges solicited from sponsors whom each has individually recruited. Sponsors agree to pay a certain sum for each book completed by the child. Parents accept most of the responsibility for super­ vising the reading program. In a general assembly Wednesday at Maplewood, Principal Bill Christensen announced that 60 youngsters had completed the program. He also Maple Valley's top three seniors, (from left) Lori Gardner, Teresa Rozell and Rebecca Eaton, conduct a dress rehearsal for commencement, June 5. The three are among 114 seniors who wil participate in the event set for 3 p.m. at Fuller Street athletic field. Lori and Teresa share the top spot as co-valedictorians, each compiling a 3.9 grade point average. Rebecca, the third member of her family to earn top honors at MVHS, is salutatorian of the Class of 1983. All three will speak during Sunday's ceremony. (Maple Valley News photo by Susan Hinckley) presented special certificates to the top five readers. First-grader Christi Bigelow read a whopping 360 books to earn $415 for MS and a stereo for herself. Bryan Carpenter also won a stereo for reading 40 books and collecting $360 for the fun­ draiser. The next three place winners all were awarded bicycles. They are Heather Steward, who read 25 books for $302.50; Mickey Collier, 32 books for $300.80; and Brian Steward (Heather’s brother), 25 books for $300.25. Neil Oppenheimer, chairman of the board of trustees of the Central Branch of the Michigan Chapter of the National MS Society, was present at Wednesday’s program and said Maplewood’s contribution was “just fan­ tastic”. He presented a Mystery Sleuth trophy to Maplewood in recognition of the school’s top achievement in the fivecounty region. Oppenheimer congratulated all of the children who participated in Neil Oppenheimer (right), representing the National Multiple Sclerosis Society, presented a trophy Wednesday to Maplewood Principal Bill Christensen for that school's contribution to the 1983 MS READaTHON. Sixty Maplewood students read a total of 1,505 books to earn over $3,688. for MS, topping 38 schools in a 5county region and placing in the top ten of 336 Michigan schools.

MS is the most common disease of the central ner­ vous system and crippier of young adults, with ap­ proximately 11,000 patients in Michigan. Oppenheimer said of the funds collected in the read-athon, 40 percent goes to the national organization and 60 percent remains in Michigan. The monies are used to support MS patient and family services, along with research and educational programs. �The Maple Valley News, Nashville, Tuesday, May 31,1983 — Page 2 Nashville News Expected visitors in Nash­ ville on Friday before­ Memorial Day were former local resident Wayne Fuller and his wife, Eliner, of Toledo, Ohio. They planned to decorate family graves at Wilcox cemetery and call on local relatives including Wilma and Doug DeCamp and Alice and Vern Mar­ shall. In a letter last week, Wayne Fuller expressed appreciation for the recent series of articles written by former local resident Guy Howell and published recently in the Memories of the Past column. “I enjoyed the articles written by Guy Howell,” wrote Fuller. “He sure has a memory for detail.” Fuller also noted that he remembered “Dad” Angell very well. (He was mentioned in Howell’s ar­ ticle about boys’ camp at Pine Lake.) “Used to see him (Angell) in the school building often,” wrote Fuller. “I wonder how many of the former students remember the groups that used to come from Wheaton College in connection with the Hi-Y programs (which Angell arranged). I believe they usually came in groups of four young men. I remember how well they could sing.” Also heard again from former local resident Marion Snow Johnson of Charlotte, who in last week’s News column recalled Charles F. “Dad” Angell and Hi-Y Many households in the Maple Valley community are busy this week preparing for Sunday’s big event: commencement of the MVHS Class of 1983. In addition to those activities and open houses related to graduation,, another seasonal affair is the annual alumni banquet of the Nash­ ville-Vermontville-Maple Valley schools to be held Saturday evening, June 4, at the high school cafeteria. The family-style ham and chicken meal will be served at 7 p.m., but doors of the school will open two hours earlier to allow time for alumni and guests to visit and reminisce with one another prior to the dinner. Weather permitting, commencement exercises will be held at the Fuller Street athletic field in Nash­ ville at 3 p.m. Sunday, June 5. In case of rain, the event will be moved to the MVHS gym. There will be a ... CRAFT SHOW & FLEA MARKET in conjunction with the... Bismark Strawberry & Ice Cream Festival JUNE 25th Anyone interested in a space, call Rose Steward: 726-0415 ... for information. To our eager and hopeful graduates, we offer this poem by Robert E. Farley: Think of the things that make you happy, Not of the things that make you sad. Think of the fine and true in mankind, Not its sordid side, and bad. Think of the service you may render, Not of serving self alone. Think of the happiness of others. And in this, you’ll find your own. VOGT FUNERAL HOME IN NASHVILLE PHONE 852-0840 Camp at Pine Lake She wrote that she -has some photos of the camj) she plans to share with jus. Mrs. Johnson attended JJitf camp as a youth and later worked in the kitchen there. Among the local counsellors at the Pine Lake camp she recalls from those years were Pauline Furniss, Leia Roe, Ruth Bassett and Elizabeth Gibson. Walter Blakely of Nashville was the first one to catch our mislabeling of the date on a car crash photo in Guy Howell’s memory ar­ ticle published last week. Howell’s text told of being in an auto accident in 1932 with a V-8 Ford, but in labeling his photos, we wrote that the incident of the crash at “Comback” Corners happened in 1931. Although Howell’s text was correct, Blakely spotted our error in the caption because he knew V-8 Fords weren’t on the scene that early. According to him, they were not made until 1932. Also mislabeled was the young “soldier” photo of Howell. It was taken, as noted in Howell’s article, in 1932, not 1931. Again, our thanks to Giiy Howell for recording his early memories of Nashville so charmingly and for sharing them with us. The many excellent photos also added a special touch, and all were furnished by Howell. We hope his con­ tribution will inspire others to write their recollections of Nashville and search albums for old photos which can be shared in the Memories of the Past column. In­ cidentally, Howell and his wife, Florence, plan to leave their home in Arizona this week to commence a longawaited trip to Michigan. For Howell, his planned visit to Nashville will be his first return here in 40 years. It will be interesting to record the many changes he notes. Don’t forget to register for Nashville’s communitywide garage sale to be sponsored Saturday, June 25, by the local Chamber of Com­ merce. Householders throughout the village are urged to participate in the event by conducting garage or yard sales that day. In addition, space for display tables will be available on the vacant lot on the west side of Main Street. Local merchants also will get into the spirit of the day by of- By Susan Hinckley fering special bargains. All advertising of' the event will be taken care of by the Chamber, but pre­ registration is necessary if you wish to be included in the list directing visitors to Nashville to the various sale locations around town. There is no charge. Just give your name and address to Dave Mace at Mace Pharmacy; Max Kelley at Kelley’s Variety; Judy Quantrell at Country Kettle Cafe; or Eloise Wheeler at Comerica Bank. Each will be com­ pilingnamesand locations to be listed in the ad­ vertisement. Golden Agers of Nashville United Methodist Church will meet Friday, June 10, for a noon potluck dinner at the Community House. Mrs. Art (Margaret) Bateman of Nashville was expected to return home Thursday after a three-week stay at Blodgett Hospital in Grand Rapids where she underwent leg surgery to improve circulation to a foot. Frank Sheldon of Portage, representing the Michigan Council Alcoholic on Problems (MICAP), will speak at the United Methodist Men’s Breakfast set for 7:30 a.m. Sunday, June 5, at the Community House. Sheldon also will address the congregation during 9:45 a.m. morning worship service. Rev. Leonard Putnam and Mrs. Sally Gatchell will be local delegates to the annual West Michigan Conference of the United Methodist Church to be held at Albion College, May 31 - June 4. Patients last week at Hospital in Pennock Hastings included former local resident Viola Beystrum of Middleville, still confined with a heart condition, and Mrs. Azalia Spidel of Nashville, who was hospitalized for a few days to undergo treatment. Mrs. Veda Shull of Nashville will host a meeting of the Cloverleaf Class at 1:30 p.m. Thursday, June 2, at her home. The Nashville Garden Club meets Tuesday, June 7, for a noon salad smorgasbord at Hidden Valley Apartments in Hastings. Members are to bring a salad, table service, and a gift as a prize for Bingo, which will be played following the buffet meal. Hilda Baas and Mary Townsend will co-host the event in the Community Room at the apartment complex. Nashville United Methodist Women will leave here at 9 a.m. Wednesday, June 1, for a visit to the UMC Community House in Grand Rapids. The local ladies will take along a supply of paper products as a gift to the UMC service center. Mrs. Hilda (Summ) Baas of Nashville was one of the 220 persons who attended the May 21 alumni banquet at the old Woodland High School. She reports that it was the largest turnout in a number of years for the school which graduated its last class in 1962 — the year Woodland consolidated with Lake Odessa to form the Lakewood system.

Stillwell, seen in this 1909 photo with his daughter, Luna, on the porch of their home at 218 Francis Street. Lakeview Cemetery was the termination point of early local Decoration Day parades. Flowers, wreaths and flags decorated graves there. Today, graves of veterans are still marked by the local VFW and the Nashville Fire Dept, places flags on those of departed firemen. Area cemeteries, such as Union Cemetery near Lacey (seen in this pre-1910 photo), were the scenes of inspirational oratory on Decoration Day. The event also was a time for socializing with relatives and neighbors. A small crowd is gathered here under the Star 'n Stripes for the patriotic ceremonies but it was not uncommon to see 1,000 or more persons in attendance at Nashville's Memorial Day event. The afternoon often called for oratory at the local opera house, and attracted large audiences including rural residents who came to town for the holiday. Parading southward on Nashville's Main Street about 1911 are the Odd Fellows (IOOF), an organization that frequently participated in early Decoration Day ob­ servances with the Knights of Pythias and the Masonic Order. Each tried to outdo the other in pomp and circumstance. Nashville's first official observance of Memorial Day appears to have been in 1886. The earliest such events were spon­ sored locally by Jeffords 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. After the summer house was built in 1909 in Putnam Park, Decoration Day parades often commenced in that area. The new cement block structure was used as a speaker's platform for memorial ceremonies. Prior to that time parades sometimes started on Washington Street near the old school (now the site of Kellogg School). Baseball games played by village teams and a season-opening dance at the Thornapple Lake pavilion were other traditional Memorial Day events enjoyed by earlier generations of Nashville residents. (Author's note: A Memories of the Past published on May 28, 1980, traced Nash­ ville's first observance of Decoration Day. In today's column we present a photo review depicting those early Memorial events which now have become part of the history and tradition of the village.)

And 59 of those 67 students can name all 50 states in alphabetical order. In addition, 32 of the children can also name the state capitals. “This is much better than I expected and I’m very proud of them,” said Mrs. Andres. She added that many of the children who failed to complete the tests did so by missing only one or two answers. As a means of sharing this accomplishment with parents, Mrs. Andres arranged for a USA Day held Thursday afternoon at Maplewood. Parents first visted the classrooms where the youngsters had on display reports and special projects each had completed on a different state. Later the visitors ad­ journed to the all-purpose room for a program by the fourth-graders, highlighting America. Neil Williams, costumed as Abe Lincoln, delivered the Gettysburg Address. At the piano, Jennifer Swartz performed “God Bless America” and “Battle Hymn of the Republic”. Showing their knowledge skills in a Quiz Bowl on the USA were students Scott Casteele, Deb Joostberns, Jeff Laverty, Jeff Moore, Tracy Kill, Helena Lehman, April Todd, Mike Gusey, Jennifer Swartz, Travis Hokanson, Andy True and Willis Rugg.

This activity is the way that the students are rewarded for not using up all the money in their van­ dalism fund. The senior high Student Council is given so much money at the begin­ ning of the year, if at the end of the year there is still some money left over, the students are given this fun day. This event is well organized and the students on the most part behave well and really enjoy themselves.

Over the past few weeks, each student had thoroughly a researched Latin American country and prepared artwork, maps and other visual aids to ac­ company a written report on their chosen nation. On Thursday, each child set up an individual display in the gym. The exhibits were viewed by other Kellogg students, Fuller Street School fourth­ graders, parents and other visitors. Beyond an assigned portion of the project, each of Hustwick’s students was free to devote as much effort as desired to make their exhibit outstanding. Some had fashioned elaborate three-dimensional topographical maps of their selected country. The project is part of Hustwick’s social studies program, and becomes a colorful and informative event for students of the other classes as well as for the fifth-graders he teaches.

May 31,1983 — Page 8 Obituaries No payments, no water Nashville Council says committee, the council agreed that effective June 1 any account showing a past due balance at the time of the first of the month billing will have 10-days to pay up or lose their water service. Officials stressed that this means full payment of the past due balance. Previously a more lenient policy allowed retention of water service as long as the user made a “good faith” payment on the delinquent amount. But, at a May 12 meeting the council concurred that the intent of the policy was being abused by some customers. They cited one case in which the user was paying only $2 per month on a past due balance of $385. The council agreed that this was not enough to show “good faith.” Now, if the delinquent balance has hot been paid in full by the 10th of the month, the customer’s name will be reported to DPW Supervisor Leon Frith for shut-off of service which will not be restored until the account is paid in full. Trustee George Frith said that in time this action “should wash the delinquency” out of the system.

It’s the one time every member of the family may have to fend for himself... yet, often tragically, it’s the time when the little ones may need us most. Accordingly, when teaching very young children about fire, the goal is to teach them the behaviors that will help them save their own lives. If your child wakes up and the bedroom is full ofsmoke - what will he or she do? Most children naturally tend to hide from something that frightens them. Too many firemen vividly recall the tiny, asphyxiated body they only came upon while cleaning up... because the Advert i-wnent 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 Aid Service, 919 E. Fulton, Grand Rapids, Mi. 49503. Ph.

Other firefighters will tell you about the child who ran from, or even tried to resist, the rescuers, more frightened of the fireman than of the fire itself. Fire­ wise parents train their children against dangerous behaviors like these at an early age. Many children can absorb fire safety training in game form as early as the age of three. Most easily taught are behaviors that can be presented as physical movement games. “Stop, Drop and Roll,” the defense against clothing fires, and “Stay Low and Go”, for smoke escape are good examples. Both are easily absorbed by three year olds if parents will teach in frequent, short sessions in which the child actually performs the behavior. A child who’s been taught to “stay low and go” is far less likely to react to fire by hiding in the closet. Of course, a child’s fire training should be part of a home escape plan for the whole family. That means each family member must know two ways out of his or her room. Second- story bedroom windows should be equipped with ropes or ladders for climbing out and every family member must practice*with them. Children should sleep behind closed doors to delay the entry of smoke into sleeping rooms. AU family members must know an agreed upon site to regroup once out of the house. Auto Service CENTER Around the fifth birthday, most children can absorb training to feel a door for heat and, if it’s hot, to escape via the window. Now, what about the child who runs from the firemen? One reason for this reaction is that today’s working firemen usually wear ad­ vanced breathing masks that hide their faces, while most cartoons and coloring books toddlers use still depict firemen with visible faces. The child who’s never seen a breathing apparatus is more likely to identify that masked figure as a man from Mars than as a firefighter! Parents can shop a little harder to find coloring books that show firemen as they really look. You might also visit you local fire hall and ask if one of the firefighters could put on an air pack so the child can see it close up.

Here are some simple rules for using flammable liquids fire-wisely. Use them away from any flame or source of sparks. Of course, that means no smoking. That also means beware of fur­ nace and water heater pilot lights or exposed space heater coils. Gasoline is never a safe cleaning fluid for clothing, metal parts or anything else. It’s too flammable -- use it only as a fuel in equipment designed for it. Gasoline powered equipment such as chain saws and power mowers must not be refueled while running. Shut down and wait for hot parts to cool to the touch. Gasoline should be stored only in approved, red safety containers... and even then store only the minimum you need, and never store it in your apartment or home.

This week, a photo review of early commencement events revives memories of the days when a typical NHS graduating class The first alumni banquet and reunion of Nashville High School was staged the numbered from four to year this class graduated. The Class of 1893 is seen here as juniors. Front row fourteen.) from left are Fernie Lentz; Myrtle Smith; Professor O. M. McLaughlin; and Edward Smith. Back row from left, Eva Brumm; Maude Hough; Ora Smith; and Alvah Bivens. All but Ora Smith graduated with the class. Other 1893 graduates not seen in photo are Harry Dickinson and Frank Lentz. Nashville’s 1884-85 Union School had a 3-year high school cirriculum when the first seniors graduated in 1887. There was no commencement in 1890, the year the high school course was expanded to four years. This schoolhouse burned in February 1902 and was re­ placed that year with a similarly styled brick building — which was later torn down after school consolidation in the 1960s.

Other selections were rendered by the school choir and individual students. High school completion classes offered in summer The 1881 Methodist Episcopal Church was the scene °’ Nashville’s first high school graduation. An overflow crowd packed the sanctuary to see four members of the Class of 1887 receive diplomas.

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 briefiest part of the ceremony.

A weekly report from - ERNEST NASH State Representative LEGISLATURE CLOSING IN ON PRESIDENTIAL PRIMARY - Michigan’s Presidential Primary is expected to die a quiet death later this month as both the House and Senate, Republicans and Democrats, move to abolish the special election and replace it with statewide caucuses andor conventions. Reasons for abolishing the primary include the cost, estimated to be $5 million by 1984, and the fact that Michigan does not have a “closed” primary, which results in cross-over voting. $200 MILLION FEDERAL JOBS TRAINING PROGRAM The state has been divided into 26 service areas in an­ ticipation of yet another federally-funded job training program, expected to begin in October. Washington will spend $200 million in Michigan, training the disadvantaged and unemployed for future work. The Michigan Job Training Coordinating Council is administering the program on the state level. NEW EXCURSION TRAINS TO BEGIN OPERATION Two new excursion trains will begin operation this year in northwestern Lower Michigan, the Michigan Department of Transportation has announced. The “Northern Arrow” will begin service on June 11, linking Cadillac, Mancelona, Petoskey and Mackinaw City. This fall, another train, the “Bay Express”, will ply the rails between Cadillac, Man­ celona, Petoskey and Charlevoix, so that passengers can enjoy the fall colors.

STIFFER FINES FOR FLEEING POLICE SOUGHT Legislation has been introduced in the Michigan House of Representatives that would substantially increase the penalties for those people who flee or elude law enforcement officials. If adopted, the new laws would make it a felony to flee or elude the police, with a two-year prison term and a $1,000 fine. The propsal comes in the wake of the deaths of two Oakland County youths who were struck and killed by a police car involved in a high-speed chase with another motorist.

The Maple Valley School Board has taken no action as to where the 1.5 mills will be spent. The state equalized valuation for 1982 -1983 school year was $57,019,639.00, an increase of $705,997.00 to the M.V. Schools’ general fund (above the 16.71 present mills). ,w» HE hn'iPisitfsis^> iOi^taXKIIKI at**!™"11 IHWtrtStWj With teaching personnel leaving, there will be an additional $45,000.00 plus for the M.V. Schools’ general fund. The administrators and the non-teaching personnel of M.V. are asking for a 5% increase in wages, the same as the teachers will be receiving. Many who are fortunate enough to be working in Michigan have taken a wage freeze or wage concession. The 38% state income tax is already a burden to the property taxpayer. Many families in the M.V. school district are losing, or have lost their business, their farms or their homes. We have a declining enrollment in the M.V. school district. Operational funds per student at M.V. are $1,678.54, compared to Christian School at about $800.00. THE BOTTOM LINE: we say vote NO June 1 sth, for the 1.5 additional mills Paid for by: Property Taxpayers for Basic Education, Route 3, Nashville, Ml. 49073 �The Maple Volley News, Nashville. Tuesday.

About 100-vehicles will be exhibited on the park’s village green during the second annual Street Rod event which will run from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. Street rods are customized by their owners by updating running gear, such as motors, drive trains, tires, paint and bodies, said Gary Hammond of Hastings, chairman of the event. “Anything goes,” he said. “There’s no rule of thumb at all.” The only specification to make a car a street rod is that it has to be built before 1949 and altered from the original, Hammond ex­ plained. The concept of altering cars is to make them roadworthy. A swap meet and flea market offering car parts, antiques, collectibles, arts andcraftsand miscellaneous items will be held along with the show. Admission to the street rod event is $2 for adults and 50­ cents for children under<12.

LETTERS HOME.. by Nina Wolpe, wife of Congressman Howard Wolpe Nine-thirty Sunday morning. The phone is ringing. Maybe it’s Howard from the district before he goes off to his day of con­ stituent appointments and town meetings. No, it’s Candy, a good friend from across the street here in Washingtoa Her father has quietly passed away after a very long struggle with cancer and she has a request. She, in her grief, doesn’t know where to turn and maybe Howard can be of some help. Her father had served in World War II. He’d sustained a head injury which only started to seriously bother him in 1960. He applied for disability and health ser­ vices at that time and a file documenting the history of his injury and subsequent treatment exists. The family wants him buried at Arlington National Cemetery. The problem? She thinks injured World War II service personnel had to have applied for disability by 1949 in order to be buried at Arlington. (He could be cremated and his ashes placed at Arlington without any problem; the family doesn’t want cremation.) “With his injury documentation on file, Nina, isn’t there something we can HAIRSTYLES By...

I tell her I’ll see what I can learn. I call Howard’s district manager and explain. We both realize that there is a point of longstanding congressional courtesy here: Congressman Frank Wolfe of Virginia, not Howard, is Candy’s representative, and we should refer this to his office. I call his office in McLean. No answer. Home phone unlisted. I call the Capitol Hill information operator. No home phone numbers for staff members are available, just office numbers. “How do I reach someone with this kind of emergen­ cy?” I ask the operator. I remember the occasional times when we’ve had calls come to our home from desperate constituents: a parent is dying in Albion and a son in the military needs to be rushed home from Ger­ many; a soldier has been jailed in Europe by military police for armed robbery and his family feels it can’t get adequate information about the situation.

Broadway, Hastings, Michigan 40058 PHONE 945-9554 (Area Code 616 J to a, military liaison officer for these kinds of requests. “Well,” says the operator, “the White House might help locate one of the staffers.” I call the White House, surprised that there is this kind of service, and im­ mediately get the help I need. I’m connected within three minutes to one of Congressman Wolfe’s staff members. She, in turn, gives me the home number of Bob Clark who handles their military cases. Bob answers and I can hear children in the background. I feel badly interrupting his Sunday morning family activities, but I explain the situation and he immediately agrees that Candy’s family has enough pain without this added frustration over something that seems simple enough to confirm or facilitate. Veterans Ad­ ministration offices are closec| on Sundays. He will have to deal with it tomorrow. I leave my number and Candy’s with him. It’s been 45 minutes and I want to get back to Candy. Her number is busy. Busy. Busy. Finally, I get through. “Nina, who is this won­ derful Bob? Did you know him? He just called us.” We talk a little longer, both agreeing that contacting her Virginia senators, her parents’ Boston congressman, and her sister’s congressman in Maryland might contribute to a satisfactory resolution And why not contact Ted Kennedy, her parents’ senator, too? That was two days ago. Since then, I’ve helped take care of her children. We’ll send flowers and attend the funeral. These things you do for a friend. But I’ve been thinking this afternoon about the sensitive, caring people in government who, on a Sunday morning, also gently responded to Candy in her sad time. Bob spent five hours Monday working on her request, and had the thoughtfulness — with his busy schedule — to call me today to explain that Candy’s father would have to have had a medical discharge after his World War II service to qualify for burial at Arlington. This is a recent ruling due to the limited space now available at the national cemetery. Nonetheless, however disappointed, Candy’s family was grateful for the effort and content with a burial at a nearby military cemetery. I am constantly amazed by the late night lights and weekend tasks going on in this city. We all read about the scandals, the crooks, the few bad apples. We seldom hear about the Bobs and the unnamed operators, the hundreds of Members of Congress personally responding to frustration or bewilderment, easing the suffering or anxiety, an­ swering the daily requests of America’s people. As always, Nina Phone 945-9554 For Reminder ACTION-ADS! Sweet corn is a vegetable which every home gardener should grow if space is available (600 sq. ft. minimum). Its cultural requirements are simplfi and the wide selection of varieties available to the home gardener makes it possible for the family to enjoy corn on the cob when it is at the peak of quality. Recent developments in sweet com research have resulted in a number of different types of sweet corn. Most of the new varieties are sweeter in flavor than the standard varieties of the past. Additionally sweet com now is available in three colors: yellow, white and bicolor (yellow and white). There is no relationship between color and sweet­ ness. Michigan State University researchers recommend the following varieties as best suited to the home garden. The numbers in parenthesis indicate approximate number of days to harvest from seeding. Early Sunray (65), Spring Gold (67), Sprite (bicolor) (68), Sundance (69), Comanche (72), Har­ mony (bicolor) (73), Nor­ thern Belle (74), Quicksilver (white) (79), Gold Cup (80), Seneca Scout (81), Sugar Loaf (83), Merit (84), Sugar Dots (bicolor) (94), and Silver Queen (white) (94). Sweet corn is a warm season crop which requires a soil temperature of 50 degrees F. or higher for germination. Com plants are injured by temperatures below29 degrees F., but may recover from frost damage if the growing points are still below ground level. Com up to 10 inches tall will usually recover from frost, but taller corn will usually be killed. Sweet corn can usually be planted safely in the mid Michigan area by mid-May. Corn planted earlier than this date may escape frost injury, but often matures later than the late planted corn because it has en­ countered poor growing conditions. Plan for a continuous supply of corn for the table by planting an early and mid season variety early. Followed in about two weeks with a mid season and late variety planting. The mid and late varieties generally produce better quality corn and higher yields than do early varieties planted later in the season. To assure good pollination and a full set of kernals on the cob, plant at least three adjacent rows of each variety at each planting. Plant seeds 1-2 inches deep in rows 30-36 inches apart. Space plants 10-12 inches apart or leave 3 plants in hills 2-3 feet apart. Sweet corn is unique among vegetable crops in that cross pollination by other com varieties will effect the quality of the current year’s crop. For instance, field corn pollen will make sweet corn starchy, and pollen from yellow and bicolor varieties will cause yellow kernals on white com. Cross pollination can be reduced by separating with space or according to the time of pollination. Separate plantings of different types of corn by at least 250 feet. If wide separation is not possible, do not plant a variety downwind from one than can contaminate it. Separation by maturity requires 14 days between varieties to eliminate cross Continued on page 19 ELECT DONALD HAGON Maple Valley School Board Vote...MON DAY JUNE13 I have been a resident of Nashville for the past 12 years. My wife, Ilona, and I run a large swine and crop farm on Assyria Rd. Our children, Patrick, 13, and Deanna, 12, at­ tend the 6th and 7th grades at Maple Valley. Both child­ ren are active in school activities, sports and their 4-H club. I would like to tell you some of my views regarding how our school is run. I hope you will be as concerned as I am and vote for me on June 13th, I bplieve that the administration needs to start “doing their job". Teachers need frequent and complete evalu­ ations. I believe some teachers are no longer interested in teaching our children. They are bored, or can’t com­ municate what they are trying to teach. Pay raises will not make these teachers better teachers. It’s time to do some weeding in our garden, and that’s the administra­ tion’s job. I feel communications should be more open between the public and board. I don’t believe in the “chain of command”, and would like parents to feel free to dis­ cuss problems with me; I may not be able to solve all problems, but with more open communications, many may be diverted. I feel ~ everyone can make mistaken judgements, including this administration, and some rules need revising. School finance is another big issue. I know times are hard for businesses and workers in this community. I would like to see the school administrated to run on available funds'. It has come to my attention that the present 1.5 mill increase is not eartagged for any special purpose, and will be dumped into the general fund. Also that the price of two new buses, that are no longer being purchased (approx. $50,000) will revert to the general fund. Therefore, I cannot sanction this millage increase. Thank you...

The registered electors will also be voting upon a millage proposal to increase taxes by 1.5 mills ($1.50 on each $1,000) on state equalized valuation for one year. These additional funds are necessary for continuation of the present educational program, said Supt. Carroll Wolff. The Michigan State Board of Education bulletin 1014 for the school year 1981-82 shows that the general fund revenue per pupil from local sources at Maple Valley ranks 506 out of 529 K-12 school district in the State of Michigan, he added. The Maple Valley Schools have been able to maintain a six period instructional day at the Jr.- Sr. High School, whereas, many school districts have reduced their programs to a five period instructional school day. This has resulted in ad­ ditional instructional time at Maple Valley which has been made possible through the cooperation of the teaching staff. The revised school day at the elementary level has provided additioanl instrucational time this school year which is working out well for the students. The state assessment tests administered to all fourth, seventh, and tenth grade students in the state this school year showed Maple Valley with the highest overall scores of any of the high school districts within Eaton Intermediate. Through the cooperation of the PTO groups from Fuller St. Kellogg and Maplewood along with funds obtained through the Chapter II program, Maple Valley has been able to purchase computers which are being used in the instructional program. Voters in the Nashville area will be voting at the Kellogg gymnasium, and in the Vermontville area voting will be in the kindergarten room at the Maplewood Elementary School. The polls will be open 7 a.m. to 8 p.m. Senior citizens are reminded of the property tax relief that is available to many through the filing of the senior citizens homestead property tax credit claim which allows full reimbursement on a household income of less than $3,000 annually. Application forms for absentee ballots may be obtained by contacting the superintendent’s office at 11090 Nashville Highway, Vermontville, MI 49096. The telephone number is 852­ 9699. The office will be open until 2 p.m. Saturday, June 11 for anyone desiring an absentee application form. Serving out country... Charles T. Meredith Marine Pvt. Charles T. Meredith, son of Charles P.

Former classmates reunited at Maple Valley alumni banquet Alumni had a good time reminiscing and visiting besides enjoying a good dinner. More than 200 persons attended the annual Maple Valley Alumni banquet held Saturday at the MVHS. Eighty-nine-year-old Irene Haddins of the class of 1913 received honors as the oldest female graduate in at­ tendance. Harry Nesman, 85, of the Nashville High School class of 1915, again was honored as the oldest male graduate at the banquet. Traveling the farthest distance to attend the event was Bob Hall of Los Angeles, Calif, who was a graduate of Vermontville’s class of 1933 whose members observed their golden anniversary since graduation. Members from both the Nashville and Vermontville classes of 1933 received special recognition plus individual flowers. Each member attending the 50­ year class reunion was asked to speak and reminisce. Eleven former teachers of the local schools were present for the occasion. The class of 1983 was welcomed by Alumni Association President Mary Fisher and the response was given by class president, Dan Keech. Entertainment was provided by members of the Maple Valley choir — Sarah Curtis, John Clements, and Vicki Clements — under the direction of Duane Thatcher. A meal of chicken, ham, potato salad, cole slaw, mixed vegetables, rolls and pie was prepared by MV cooks and served by the Maple Valley cheerleaders. Gene Fisher was elected president of the alumni association at a brief business meeting. Serving with him will be: David Hawkins, vice president; and Larry Filter, treasurer. Secretaries will include Elizabeth Lynch, Carolyn Priddy, Anna Mae Schaub, Edith Benedict, and Donna Hickey.

Vol. Ill - No. 51 - Tuesday, June 14, 1983 Local TV cable system needs “more management control” says manager by Susan Hinckley Charter Telecom­ munications’ cable TV system in Nashville is wellconstructed but needs more management control to provide good quality service at equitable rates, the Nash­ ville village council was told Thursday by John Forbes, new general manager of the firm. Newly-appointed to head the company, Forbes in­ dicated that a change of stockholders in the firm is imminent. “The same entity will exist but stockholders may change,” said Forbes. He said that in the next three months the company hopes to correct “all the wrong” in the Nashville system. “It is an excellently constructed system,” ob­ served Forbes, “but from an operation viewpoint I am not satisfied myself.” He said there was a “tremendous” amount of auditing necessary on the unstaffed, making it difficult Nashville accounts but could for Nashville customers to guarantee that no customer contact the company. will lose any money, though Village Clerk Susan Cork­ the “owners (of the firm) well said Nashville’s village hall has been inundated with may lose.” The system presently cable business calls since the serves 204 homes in Nash­ system went “on line” in ville, roughly one-third of the early spring. “The present arrangement potential market. In action Thursday, the hasn’t been satisfactory,” council adopted a resolution agreed Forbes, “but man­ which allows Charter ning an office may involve Telecommunications to use increased rates for Nash­ the $150,000 Nashville ville.” He said it was costly to system as pledged collateral on a loan from an Indiana keep an office staff and bank. ^service technicians on hand Several council members 24 hours a day. “We have to provide a took advantage of Forbes’ appearance to relay com­ service to this community,” he noted. “What level of plaints they have received service do you want (to pay from local cable customers. Village officials cited the for)?” He recommended closing fact that though main­ the Nashville cable office tenance of a local cable office was stipulated in the and establishing a centrally located office in Hastings to consent agreement with Charter Telecom- serve all the systems owned by Charter Telecommunications, the firm’s Main munications.

With the 20-cup unit already equipping that facility, the gift from the Chamber brings coffee capacity at the Center to 50 cups, which will be helpful for the many large gatherings held in the renovated pump house building. In addition to official business meetings, the Center is used for receptions, reunions, etc. (Maple Valley News photo by Susan Hinckley) John Forbes (standing), new general manager of Charter Telecommunications appeared before the Nashville Village Council Thursday to "erase myths" about the cable TV service his firm provides to the village. (Maple Valley News photo by Susan Hinckley) “If you move your office to Hastings, we assume the same (level of) service would be available to Nash­ ville,” said Village President John Hughes. Trustee Gerald Kent told Forbes that it is necessary “to maintain some kind of communication between the people (of Nashville) and your company.” Forbes concurred, and concluded that the quality of service to Nashville has been good though accounting and administration have not been good and there have been some problems with the firm’s promotional offers of limited free installation and service He promised to return to an upcoming council meeting to keep the local officials posted on the position of Charter Telecommunications’ Nash­ ville operation. Forbes said his appearance before the council was to “erase myths” about the system. In other business Thur­ sday, the council: — Amended the 1983-84 budget to add an additional $1,600 to the $2,000 allocation for the local ambulance board. — Appointed Genevieve Hafner as village representative to the Public Library board to fill a vacancy created by the recent resignation of Mary Slag from that post. — Approved action in Small Claims Division of 56th District Court against one delinquent water customer, and reported on the success of six similar cases recently heard in that court as pqrt of Nashville’s crackdown on past due water accounts. — Approved closing Main Street between designated hours on Sept. 17 for the annual Harvest Festival. — Reported total cost of the 1983 Spring Cleanup project at $3,037, including expense of the “free dump day” at the local transfer­ recycling center. — Referred to DPW committee for study of a suggestion from local resident Oliver Downing that the $15 shut-off and turn-on fee for village water service should not apply in cases of emergency, such as repair of plumbing. — Heard a report that the Feighner Bros, of Nashville will harvest the clover at the sewer lagoon property on Brumm Road with the village receiving one-third proceeds of the crop. — Learned that RiethRiley Construction Company of Battle Creek will be in the village Thursday, June 16, to resurface Sherman Street from Main to Lentz, and State Street from Washington to Sherman, as a final step in the recent sewer rehabilitation project. Voters defeat millage increase; Baker, Cole elected to school board Maple Valley’s voters, Monday, turned down a request for a 1.5 mill one year increase, but approved a renewal of a three year, 16.71 operational millage. The requested increase, which Superintendent Carroll Wolff had predicted would generate roughly $140,000, was defeated 532 to 299. There were 10 spoiled ballots. The renewal measure was approved by a vote of 559 to 271. After results of the election were announced, Monday, Wolff said the entire school program would have to be evaluated to determine what effect defeat of the millage increase would have on operation of the Maple Valley system. Elected Monday to the two-four year terms on the Maple Valley Board of Education were Paula Cole and Irma Gene Baker, both of Vermontville. Mrs. Cole received 434 votes and Mrs. Baker 387. Other candidates in that race, all of Nashville, were James Bryan, 289; David Hagon, 244; and Ronald Wheeler, 155. Board members Virginia Fox and Charles Viele, Sr., whose terms expire June 30, did not seek re-election. �The Maple Valley News, Nashville, Tuesday, June 14,1983 — Page 2 Nashville News The circus is coming to town!

Marie and Angus Taylor of LaCenter, Washington have been spending a week in Nashville visiting La Duska and Nate Sheldon The two men are old army buddies, having been stationed together in Seattle some 40 years ago. The Taylors were responsible for sending Putnam Public Library a sample of volcanic ash and photos of the eruption on May 18, 1980, of Mount St. Helens in Washington’s Cascade Mountains. The items were used in a display which gave Nashville folks a better understanding of the tragedy which claimed 66 lives and caused some $2.7 billion in damage. Mount St. Helens had been inactive from 1857 until March 27, 1980, when it began to shake with localized earthquakes which preceded the major eruption in May. The Taylors have since visited the site of the immense crater carved by the eruption. Condolences are extended to the family of Donald J. Green, who passed away May 28 at San Jose, California.

Tuesday the Clarence Reids received word that the home of Darrel and Karen Reid at rural Kalamo had been damaged by fire. Two rooms on the main floor, the upstairs, all furnishings and clothing sustained smoke and water damage. Later the same day, the Clarence Reids had other unhappy news when they learned that their son, Vernon Reid, and his daughter, Michelle, of rural Vermontville, were both in Hayes-Green-Beach Hospital in Charlotte with pneumonia. At this writing, Vernon is still very ill and doctors have not determined what else is wrong. Also on Tuesday, callers at the Clarence Reid home were Jerry and Debbie Reid and sons of Vermontville, who brought his daughter, little Samantha, to say “goodbye” to her grandparents before she returned to her home in Texas on Thursday. The community was saddened by the death on May 31 of Mrs. George (Pat) Vogt, a lovely lady who fought a lengthy illness with a cheerful spirit.

From our readers To the Editor: I am writing in regards to the information which ap­ peared in the June 7 issue of the Maple Valley News dealing with why the Maple Valley schools were asking for a 1.5 millage increase. The information was submitted by “Property Taxpayers for Basic Education, Route 3, Nash­ ville”. In their list of reasons, it indicated that the ad­ ministration of Maple Valley is seeking a five percent increase in wages. The fact is that the administration has, from its first Obituaries Donald A. Swan DOWLING - Mr. Donald A. Swan, 56, of 9042 S. Bedford Rd., died Thursday, June 9, 1983 at Leila Hospital in Battle Creek. He was born in Nashville on Sept. 29, 1926, the son of Emmett and Myrtie (Pullman) Swan. He attended Nashville schools. After school, he worked as a carnival employee for the World of Pleasure Shows for several years traveling around the United States. He married the former Shirley Szendre on July 14, 1950 and they came to Hastings shortly after their marriage. He was employed for several years by the Oliver Co. in Battle Creek and then by Sheriff-Goslin Co. for 15 years. Since 1974,'she had owned and operated Swan Siding and Roofing Co. of Dowling. He had lived in the Dowling-Banfield area for the past 28 years. He was a member of Dowling Country Chapel and Battle Creek Home Builders Association. Mr. Swan is survived by his wife, Shirley; three daughters, Mrs. William (Mickey) Fisk and Miss Swan, both of Anita Hastings, and Mrs. Alan K. (Alice K.) Jones of Battle Creek; one son, Daniel Swan CAC negotiating meeting with the school board, asked for a wage freeze for the 1983-84 school year. There was “never” a request for a wage increase for the coming school year. The administration is currently working for the same salary that it was granted two years ago and has agreed to work for that salary again next year. Three years ago, when granted an increase, each administrator donated back a percentage of his increase. I strongly believe in the right of individuals to ex­ press their views. However, it seems that when in­ formation is used to sway public opinion, the public has the right to expect that the facts they are being given are correct. Perhaps it is this type of misinformation that has created some problems in our school district.

Nashville, Tuesday, June 14, 1983 — Page 4 Memories of the DCISt by Susan Hinckley Central Park blossoms from old hotel site A lasting memory of Central Park is this Honor Roll board which graced the south edge of the park during World War II. Local Lions started the project but the village footed most of the material cost and lettering by a Battle Creek sign painter During the war, several additions were made to the list. Eventually, to accomodate the ever-expanding roster of local citizens serving in the armed forces, wings had to be added to the board about 1944. In this scene, 279 names are visible. When V-J Day arrived in August, 1945, nine had been marked with gold stars. The old Star (Flo) theatre can be seen at extreme right in photo. A glimpse of Nashville's Main Street is seen as it must have appeared to weary shoppers seeking rest here in the mid-1920s. Names legible on store awnings inthis westward view from Central Park are H.D. Wotring (pharmacy), at left; C. L Glasgow (hardware), center; and Colin T. Munro (grocery), right. (Author’s note: Raising like a phoenix from the ashes of the old Union House hotel, Nashville's Central Park blossomed into a site of restful beauty some 65 years ago to bright­ en the Main Street scene. A photo review of that metamorphosis is presented in today’s column for our readers' enjoyment.) "Messers. Wolcott and Clark have finished tearing down the old Union House, and now all that remains of that ancient hostelry is a hole and a pile of rubbish," noted the News on Nov. 15, 1906. This is how the site appeared about 1915 when it was acquired by the village and converted into a park at the urging of Len W.., Feighner, 40-year editor-publisher of the Nashville News. Incredibly the site was called Central Park" even before its development. 4-H members are eligible to raise foals­ The 3-story Union House, which may well have been the first hotel in Nashville, originally occupied the site of Central Park. The frame building apparently predated establishment of the local newspaper in 1873, for as early as 1877 The Nashville News reported that the hotel was being renovated under new management of Mr. Bronson of Middleville "to make it the equal of an hostelry in these parts." Construction the following year of the more elegant Wolcott House on South Main may have sounded the death knell for the Union, which steadily declined until wrecked by fire in February 1902, just two weeks after flames destroyed Nashville's Union School. Seen here during a farmers' picnic on Aug. 14, 1900, the hotel at the time it burned housed only one residential tenant and two businesses: Joe Hurd's bicycle repair shop and the Yourex bakery.

Main, Nashville 852-9107 Eaton County 4-H horse project members are eligible to raise a Standardbred foal from October 1982 to August 1984 as part of the Michigan 4-H Standardbred Project. “The purpose of the project is to make youths aware of the racing industry and how it contributes to Michigan’s economy,” says Nancy D. Thelen, Eaton County 4-H Youth Agent. “Youths learn the economics of raising a marketable horse and also develop responsibility.” The Michigan Standardbred Breeders’ Association will donate 20 foals for 4-H members to raise and sell at the Michigan Harness Hor­ seman’s Association sale in August 1984. Workshops on the racing industry, Standardbred care and breeding farms will be provided by the Michigan Harness Horseman’s Association and the Cooperative Extension Service. Applicants must have parental permission, their 4­ H leaders’ and 4-H youth agents’ recommendation, and adequate stabling, feeding and grazing facilities. Candidates must be at least 15 years old. Applications are due June 27 and may be obtained from Thelen at the Eaton County Cooperative Extension Service office. By 1921 young maples transplanted from Putnam Park in a thinning-out program had successfully taken hold at Central Park, encircling a wading pool 'nd foun­ ttain where a cherub statue held aloft a large fish with water cascading from its mouth, originally at home in the MCRR park near the train depot, the cherubic figure was given to the village when the railroad discontinued maintenance of its small park.-Later the delightful statue often disappeared from Central Park on Halloween night but was always returned until the final time. Its fate is unknown. i out the guardian cherub the wading pool soon became neglected and was converted into a flower bed. Former Nashville resident dies in Florida Former Nashville resident G.

Nashville, Tuesday, June 14, 1983 — Page 5 Scout Troop No. 177 returns from camping trip near Lacey “^wurjqollallta On Friday, June 3, Scoutmaster Ken Meade, Asst. Don Steinbrecher, Ed Boldrey and Dennis Priddy supervised 16 of troop 177’s finest while they packed grills, tents, fishing equip­ ment and supplies for a weekend trip to a private lake near Lacey. It was misty in Nashville when they headed out but at camp only the ground was wet. The scouts went to work setting up six tents and two dining flys to serve as camp kitchen facilities. In less than an hour the three patrols transformed the area into a working camp. Sud­ denly everyone started thinking of their stomaches. Patrol leaders Kenny Meade, Kenny Bishop and Nick Priddy had planned ahead and supper was going for the three patrols within minutes. Each patrol provided for the feeding of an adult. Friday night the scouts fished from the dock without much luck and settled around the campfire till each in turn drifted off to sleeping bags for the night. Saturday morning Terry Kellogg, John Clifford assisted with breakfast as part of their cooking skill award. They served up pancakes, bacon, juice, milk and coffee to the whole troop. Nine of the scouts came back to Nashville for physicals while the rest explored around the camp area. Randy Bishop returned Saturday with the Scouts who came into town for the rest of the campout. Saturday afternoon George Steinbrecher and Randy Bishop layed out a canoe race course in the shape of a baseball diamond. Patrol three, Kenny Meade, Randy Bishop, George Steinbrecher, Danny Kellogg and Shaun Grinage finished with the fastest combined time. In the casting event where everyone tried to cast into the middle of an innertube receiving points for casting into the center or even hit­ ting the tube, patrol three won again with a whopping nine points, six for a center hit and three for a touch, which should tell you something about the ac­ curacy of the rest of the troop. Even the adults had three points counting their handicap and three point spot. About dark, Patrol 2 with Dennis Priddy supervising dug up the “bean pot” they had buried earlier and treated the whole troop to baked beans and homemade bread. Patrol 3 shared smoked chicken and the Senior Patrol Leader Richard Perrier and Asst. Scott Reid added Portuguese Bread for dessert while Patrol 2 horded their pizza for themselves. Several of the-scouts did a little fishing Saturday night, catching dogfish and bass but no enough for a meal. Sunday morning the adults cooked breakfast, fixing french toast, fruit, bacon and drinks. The weather had turned nice and it would have been nice to stay all day but some of the kids had to be back to attend graduation exercises so the Troop packed up and returned before noon. You could tell by their enthusiastic reports they had had a great time. Special thanks to Mrs. Phillips whose land they camped on and the adults who went along to supervise.

Musical entertainment was furnished by the Maplewood sixth-grade band under direction of Duane Thatcher. Among selections played were themes from the Muppets TV show and the movie “Rocky”. Thatcher was honored with a gift presented by the students, whom he in turn praised for their cooperation throughout the year. “They make my job a lot easier,” he told the audience. Maplewood Principal Bill Christensen introduced two sixth graders, Michael Everett and Karris True, who spoke on behalf of their fellow classmates. Miss True observed that “the first and most im­ portant step (in life) is getting that high school diploma,” whether one aspires to be a factory worker, secretary, or professional. “Wow! Next year it’s junior-senior high — totally awesome,” exclaimed Miss True, whose lighthearted reflection on elementary school years delighted the audience. In his address to the graduates prior to presen­ tation of certificates, Christensen assured the sixth-graders that though they may feel a bit ap­ prehensive about finding their way around the junior­ senior high building next fall, “We haven’t lost a seventh grader yet.” The recent Maplewood graduates plus sixttngraders from Kellogg School in Nashville will combine in the fall to form Maple -Valley’s seventh grade.

The students had to get an authentic recipe and make some sort of English tea cake, biscuit or bread and bring it in for the tea. They served regular and orange tea. Everyone learned how to give and respond to formal invitations, the setting of a table properly, good man­ ners, being good hosts and hostesses and good con­ versationalists. The tea went very well. Everyone dressed up and thoroughly enjoyed it. Some parents even showed up as well as the principals, superintendent, secretaries and the cooks. The table was complete with centerpiece, silver tea set, and lace table cloth. The committee in charge of the table was Doreen Cook, Judy Knoll, Tonya Morrow, Malinda Wagner and Lynnette Williams. The invitation committee consisted of Marcia Bishop, Audrey Dumont, Truda Tonya Woodbury, and Morrow.

Dean Hale What’s happening in school ? A poetic by Lynnette Williams A poetic turn is just what the English II class that Mrs. Dorothy Carpenter teaches is doing. Many students have discovered hidden skills in the world of poetry. There are several techniques to writing a poem that you wouldn’t even think about. Having a certain beat or rhythm can make or break a good poem. The sophomores found out that writing a poem involves technique, time, creativity, and lots of rewriting. Poems come in various styles, depending on what feelings or ideas you want to express. Different poets have developed a style or type of poem that is now learned and taught in high schools. A few of these poets have been a guide in Mrs. Carpenter’s class. Examples of two such people are Piet Hein, and Edmund Clerihew Bentley. A bloody battle — The mole defending his hole Against starving ants. Dean Hale The bright azure sky Imbedded with white soft clouds Running away from here. Jay Greene turn. . Piet Hein devised a kind of poem called “grooks”. He invented them at first to send messages to fellow Danes during World War II. Now there are over 7,000 grooks. Piet made them short, humorous, and added meaningful comments about life. Another fellow named Edmund Clarihew Bentley made poems to fit to people’s names. He wanted to be remembered and what better way than with short folk lined poems named after himself. Clarihews are very simple. The first two lines rhyme, and so do the third and fourth. The last type of poetry is the Haiku. Originally from Japan, three lines, with five syllables in the first line, seven in the second line, and five syllables in the third. The uniqueness about a Haiku is its power of suggestion, vivid details, and dealing with nature. TOWNSHIP OF CASTLETON Minutes of June Meeting — JUNE!, 1983 — The regular meeting of Castleton Twp.

The park’s historic village a provides nostalgic background for the five hour show which begins at 11:30 a.m. Performing their special brands of bluegrass showmanship on the park’s outdoor stage will be Sweet Corn of Kalamazoo, Footloose of Ann Arbor, the Williams Family of Byron Center, Home Grown Grass of Lansing, and Iowa Rose ’n riff raff of the Grand Rapids area. The musical format will include a comprehensive sampling of bluegrass sounds, including traditional bluegrass music featuring all acoustic string in­ struments as well as some swing and old timey music. “This year’s line up is one of the best we’ve ever had,” said Park Director John Patterson. “And since bluegrass music is traditionally American, it fits in very well with our historic village and the culture from the 1950-1900 period.” The Park has some 15 buildings, restored to the original charcter of a typical midwest agricultural community of a century ago, which will be open to visitors during the festival. Persons who attend the bluegrass show usually bring along lawn chairs and blankets to relax on the village green as they listen to the music. Home Grown Grass will start the show with traditional tunes. In concludes with Sweet Corn’s fast paced style of bluegrass and old timey music. There is a $5 admission fee for adults and 50 cents for children under 12. Preschoolers are free. Proceeds of the festival will help meet operational ex­ penses of the park, a non profit institution administered by the Barry County Parks and Recreation Commission. Charlton Park is located five miles east of Hastings, just off M-79. Other at­ tractions at the park are a beach and recreation area, which includes nature trails, a boat launch and picnic areas.

Alfalfa Weevils damaging Eaton County fields Alfalfa weevils have caused economic damage to some fields in Eaton county, says Roger A. Betz, Ex­ tension Agricultural Agent; The weevil causes damage by defoliating the alfalfa, giving plants a skeletonized look, Betz adds. The adults are gray to brown snout beetles about one quarter of an inch long, with a broad dark band extending to the middle of their backs. Weevil grubs have a black head and legless, cylindrical, wrinkled body. They are nearly white just after hatching, but become green with a prominent white stripe down their backs as they grow. When full grown they are about % inch long. The grubs do the most damage. Much of the loss from the weevil occurs after the plants approach late bud stage. Early cutting can, therefore, reduce the losses from weevil. This is strongly recommended whenever possible. A rule of thumb is that spraying is heeded if one quarter or more of the tips show damage and the alfalfa will not be cut for a week or more. An alternative method is to use a sweep net to obtain an estimate of the benefit from a spray. When abundant, the grubs can damage the small (less than 6 inches tall) regrowth following the first cutting. No matter what program is used to protect the first cutting, the stubble and regrowth should be carefully checked for grubs and their damage and an insecticide applied if the grubs are easily found. Insecticides recommended for alfalfa weevil control can be effectively applied using aerial or ground equipment. About 12 to 15 gallons of spray per acre is adequate in stubble and small plants, and 20 gallons is needed to cover larger plants with ground sprays. One to two gallons per acre is sufficient to cover plants when con­ ventional aerial equipment is used. Recommended insecticides to use are malathion (if aphids are present also) and carbaryl (Sevin) if aphids are not threatening. Other effective insecticides to control the weevil and some other pests includes M & M, Alfa- Tox, Imidan, diazinon and methoxychlor.

Despite some excessive volume, Donna put on a performance that earned her a well deserved standing ovation at the end of her set. She sang all of her popular hits: “Funny Face,” “Superman,” “Do I Love You,” “You Can’t Be a Beacon (if your light don’t shine),” and her trademark song, “The Happiest Girl in The Whole USA.” Possibly the highlight of her concert though was a medley of gospel songs. She began with “Daddy Sang Bass” and continued with such gospel classics as “Old Time Religion,” “I’ll Fly Away,” and “When the Roll is Called Up Yonder.” Donna went up into the stands and IN GRATEFUL APPRECIATION... On behalf of the Maple Valley Board of Education, we would like to thank Barry County Sheriff David Wood, Detective Ser­ geant Ken Demond, Sergeant Jerry Smith, and Nashville Police Chief Gene Koetje for their many hours spent finger­ printing our children. A very special word of thanks goes to Diana Kuempel, President of the Nashville Co-op Nursery, to our many volunteer helpers, and to you, the parents for your co-operation in this program. It is estimated that between 500-600 children were finger­ printed for their own safety. Thank you all for a job well done. HOWARD J. TOST... Principal ofFuller St. School, Nashville encouraged her fans to sing along on these songs and even gave some the opportunity to show their talents on her microphone. Opening act Gary Linke and Bill McCants acquired a lot of new fans from those in the crowd who were seeing them for the first time. The duo put on a typically strong set which has made them so popular in the Battle Creek area. Highlights of their set were many with such songs as “Ghost Riders in the Sky,” “Wabash Cannonball,” and Jim Stafford’s humorous tune, “The Gun Fight, “ about a young girl named Cow Pattie and a gunslinger. Their closing number a rousing version of “Orange Blossom Special,” showecased Linke on mandolin instead of the standard fiddle interpretation.

Caused by flame, electricity, contact with very hot objects or hot liquid immersion, the third degree burn involves total destruction of skin tissue.-At first, some third degree burns resemble second degree burns, except that little pain is experienced (because nerve endings have been destroyed). More often a third degree burn will appear white or charred. You cannot treat a third degree burn. Call for medical assistance. Cover the burned area with a clean or sterile cloth and elevate the burned area. If there is extensive fluid loss, you may wrap a burned extremity in a fresh plastic bag (but not if the burn involves the face or head). Do not attempt to remove clothing or foreign objects which are stuck to the burn, third degree burn victims must be hospitalized as soon as possible. Finally, many acid, alkaline and corrosive chemicals burn on contact. If such a substance is splashed onto your skin or eyes, wash the area with copious quantitites of water. A hose or shower is best for a skin burn, while the eyes are best treated with glasses of water or at a drinking fountain. Get medical attention as soon as possible.

FILM Failures Credited •New Construction ^Service* Remodeling •Sewer and Drain Work Halsey Plumbing LARRY HALSEY Licensed Master Plumber Trowbridge Service Burns are rightly described as the most horrible insult the human body can suffer. To completely repair the damage of a major burn is beyond the powers of even the best plastic surgeon, and the level of pain associated with the burn and its treatment can be in­ describable.’ If you read this column regularly, you know many ways to prevent burns. But here’s what to do if, despite your best efforts, you or a loved one are burned. There are three degrees of burns. Each degree has its specific symptoms and recommended treatment. First degree burns are minor burns produced by light contact with hot ob­ jects, scalding by hot water or steam, and mild sunburn. No medical treatment is required for a first degree burn. Run cold water over the burn for several minutes. This not only relieves pain but removes residual heat which could further damage body tissues. If desired, a dry dressing may be applied. It won’t heal the burn any faster but it will keep objects from brushing against the very sensitive skin surface. Second degree burns are more serious. Associated with deep sunburn, contacts with hot liquids and brief exposure to small flames, second degree burns display a red or mottled color, often with blisters, swelling and surface weeping. Pain can be acute. To treat a small second degree burn, im­ merse the area in cold water or wrap in cloths soaked in ice water. Blot dry with a clean or sterile cloth (not absorbent cotton) and cover with sterile gauze or a clean cloth. Do not break blisters or apply ointments or creams. A physician should be consulted. Second degree burns covering 15 percent or more of the body (10 percent in children) should be treated as third degree burns and Ph. 517-543-6996 Serving Charlotte, Vermontville, Nashville ■ all of Eaton County 10% Discount on Labor for Senior Citizens Sr m P EXP D THIS AD MUST ACCOMPANY FILM (Limit Two Rolls) C.

Box A, Nashville, Michigan Phone 945-9554 (Hastings) The Maple Valley News, Nashville. Vol. 111 - No. 52 - Tuesday, June 21.1983 Father Consani to leave St. Cyril’s church Rev. Robert Consani, pastor at St. Rose and St. Cyril’s Catholic Churches in Hastings and Nashville, will leave July 7 to begin duties at Holy Angels Parish in Sturgis. Rev. Leon Pohl, currently pastor at Coldwater, has been assigned to take over the positions in Hastings and Nashville. Father Cletus Herman will remain at St. Rose in his capacity as assistant. A banquet in honor of Father Consani will be held in the St. Rose Church basement on Sunday, June 26 at 4 p.m.. People from the church and community are invited to the potluck dinner. Dottie Niemann, Christian services representative on the Parish Council, said that no special program is being planned but the banquet will give people an opportunity to express their good wishes. “I would happily have stayed here for many more years,” Father Consani said, “but the needs of the church and the diocese always really dictate where we’re going to be.” Many people outside of the church met Consani as a performer, who played guitar and told jokes. He frequently entertained at banquets in the area. Consani came to Hastings from Mattawan in December of 1977 after years at St. John Bosco Parish. Prior to that he had been assistant at St. Monica’s Parish in Kalamazoo, St. Philips Parish in Battle Creek and Immaculate Heart Parish in Lansing. Originally from the Upper Penninsula, Consani grew up in Marquette. After high school, he spent several years in ice shows as a professional skater. He was Midwest figure skating champion from 1943 to 1949. Reserved in the U.S. Navy from 1951 to 1955, part of the time in Korea. He then spent two years at Flint Junior College studying journalism. Father Consani entered the seminary at St. Jerome’s College in Kitchener, On- tario, where he studied from 1957 to 1959. He completed his final four years of theology at St. John’s Seminary in Plymouth. The priest praised the people of St. Rose Church and Hastings for the support he has received during his tenure here. “I feel that it’s a tremendous community with great spirit and pride,” Consani said of Hastings. “... I especially appreciated the staff at St. Rose that I’ve had the privilage of working with. It’s just an outstanding group of people.” He said that Holy Angels Parish in Sturgis is slightly larger than Hastings with a membership of 550 families and a school from kin­ dergarten through eighth grade. He will continue as district chaplain for the Michigan State Police. M.V. Board approves appropriations The Maple Valley board members gave approval to an appropriations budget at the regular meeting of the board of education held Monday, June 13. This appropriations budget is for the 1983-84 school year, and the budget is approved in compliance with the Uniform Accounting and Budgeting Act which requires that a budget be approved prior to July 1. A truth in taxation hearing will be scheduled later this summer. It will be necessary for the board of education to review the budget and ap­ prove a final budget prior to November 1 at which time a budget is filed with the State Department of Education The approved ap­ propriations budget shows anticipated revenues of $3,278,293 and anticipated expenditures of $3,454,947 which includes an amount of $43,040 for bus amortization. A contingency budget was approved including the 1.5 mills additional millage with anticipated revenues of $3,420,778 and anticipated expenditures of $3,454,947 which also included an amount of $43,040 for bus amortization. General fund balance including school bus equity is taken into con­ sideration at this time in approving an appropriations budget. The contingency budget will not be necessary with the defeat of the 1.5 mills. An appropriations budget was approved for the debt retirement account showing anticipated revenue of $69,143 with a levy of 1.20 mills which is the same as the 1982 levy. Anticipated expenditures are listed at $83,163 with the difference being taken from the debt retirement fund equity.

MAIN STREET • Buy • Sell • Trade • Pawn To many of us, the word "love" usually signifies romantic adventure, happy marriage or the care and anxiety of a parent; but while all of these are good examples of it, they by no means tell the whole story. Love is an act of kindness for one's neigh­ bor; an anonymous donation to a worthy cause; food and supplies sent to starving native children or the victims of a disaster; a regular visit to the sick, the elderly or the lonely of any age; and so on indefinitely. Whatever form it takes, the main ingred­ ients of love are thoughtfulness and unsel­ fishness, and you will find the recipe for it at the Church of your choice. It will be served with a generous portion of happi­ ness for you as well as for the recipients of it. “A new commandment I give unto you, That ye love one another, as I have loved you.” -John 13:34 We buy any reuseable merchandise. — WE PAY TOP DOLLAR — Nashville, Mich.

Brought to you in co-operation The Maple Valley News and Vermontville Fire Department- The cookout season ap­ proaches once again. As in years past, armchair quarterbacks across America take up their utensils and attempt to transform themselves into Cordon Bleu chefs. While it’s beyond the scope of this column to suggest ways to make the year’s first cookout more edible, here are handy hints for making all your cookouts more fire­ wise. The outdoor chef must be appropriately dressed and equipped for his August task. A stout apron protects, the clothing from spatters of hot grease but make sure it’s long enough that its tails can’t touch the grill surface. It’s wise to- wear short­ sleeve shirts and tight fitting clothing. Loose, long sleeves, neckties and the like are too easily ignited by momentary contact with the hot sur­ faces. Don’t attempt to grill outdoors with ordinary kitchen utensils. Those oversize skewer, spatulas and other implements aren’t just for looks. Their length permits you to keep a safe distance from the hot coals. No that you’re dressed and equipped, let’s review how to handle a grill full of fire... and how not to. If the wind is gustig, schedule your cookout another day. Blustery weather can misdirect your charcoal starter, blow hot embers about the neigh­ borhood or even upset the grill. Use only a liquid labeled as a charcoal starter to start the fire. Other flammable liquids may burn too fiercely or lend an unpleasant flavor to food cooked over a fire started with them. With most foods you must wait until the flames have gone out before putting the food on the grill. Apply starter only once. Don’t try to “pep up” a lukewarm grill by squirting starter onto lighted coals. The flame of ignition can easily travel along the stream of fluid and cause the can in your hand to explode with fiery violence. This can occur in less than a second, so even the use of “short” squirts is no protection. Handle foods on the grill surface only with your long handled utensils. Exercise special caution when there are small children about; it’s often good practice to keep them away during lighting and cooking. After the cookout, keep an eye on the grill until the coals have utterly cooled. A neigh­ bor child or pet can receive a painful burn from touching a grill used hours before, and a pet or the weather can easily upset a still-hot grill with the danger of a grass fire. This summer resolve to. cook fire-wisely and enjoy the great outdoors all the more. Fire-Wise is brought to you by the Maple Valley Nws and Vermontville Fire Depart­ ment as the public service message.

June 28. 1983 Council rejects DRW proposal for night water shut-off fee by Susan Hinckley The Nashville Village Council Thursday wrestled with the problem of what constitutes a household water “emergency” and what bearing time of day should have on charges for shut-off of water service by village personnel. The discussion arose after the Dept, of Public Works committee recommended raising the present fee of $7.50 (for each shut-off and turn-on) to $10 each, except in the case of an emergency which occurs during normal working hours. That would have meant that householders who develop daytime plumbing problems would have free service while those who had plumbing problems nights or weekends would be billed $10 for each turn-off or turn-on, which would be the same rate set for householders requesting starting or stopping of water service for the usual reasons, of moving in or out of a home. The DPW committee proposal was turned down by a 3-2 vote of the council, with one member absent.' “We are just trying to cover our expenses,” said Trustee Gerald Kent, who presented the proposal as head of the DPW committee. “We are providing a service; we are not trying to make money on this.” Kent said that if a village employee is called out after normal working hours, the village must guarantee an hour’s pay at overtime rate. He and trustee George Frith favored the new proposal but plained Kent.

Most of the groups normally meet elsewhere but will be granted free use of the Community Center if requested. Also at Thursday’s meeting, President John Hughes thanked the Nash­ ville Fire Dept, for their work on June 20 to level an abandoned house on the village’s sewer-lagoon property on Brumm Road. Over the past two years, the council had negotiated un­ successfully with various parties who promised to raze the structure for salvage rights. The building had been stripped to the point it was considered a hazard, and the NFD destroyed it last week in a fire training session, at the village’s request. 12-hour gospel music show comes to Nashville at the gate and are available through Sandyland or from one of the ticket outlets located throughout southern Michigan.

One of the circus clowns, Duncan, stoped in Hastings last week to promote the event. “It’s a real old-fashioned family circus,” commented Duncan. He said the circus has one of the largest assortment of animals around. The show includes a wire act by two brothers and a flying trapeze stunt by twins. Advance tickets are on sale at reduced prices at several Nashville businesses. Tickets also will be available at regular prices at the gate.

At a recent meeting of the library board, the age of 18 was established as a minimum qualification for signing-out the “loaner” for a specified time limit of one week (or longer under special circumstances). The in-library camera may be signed out on a daily basis only, with library use taking precedence.

Richard Pippin came the greatest distance to attend the 30th year reunion of Nashville’s Class of 1953, held Saturday at the Com­ munity Center building in Putnam Park. Pippin, now a high school English in­ structor in California, was one of a dozen of the 36 surviving members of the class in attendance at the June 25 event. With spouses and guests, a total of 34> persons were present for the buffet dinner served by Mrs. Doris Marshall and Mrs. Clara Pennock of Nashville. Special guests at the event were former Nashville School Principal Marvin Ten Elshof and his wife of Grand Rapids, and former local home economics teacher Olith Hamilton of Nashville. Most of the classmates at­ tending were from the local area and they were especially happy to see Jackie (Brown) Rogers of Howell, who attended the class reunion for the first time since graduation. The Class of ’53 plans to meet again in five years. Meanwhile, fund-raising projects are planned to perpetuate a scholarship fund which class members established four years ago in memory of classmate Sam Session, a nationally known race car driver who died in 1977. Sunday’s evening thun­ dershower brought a brief respite from the recordbreaking heat wave which has plagued Michigan, butt by Monday morning had done little to alleviate the local “drought”. The sweltering heat Sunday night was temporarily com­ pounded in Nashville when a three and on^-half hour power outage, ending about 11:30 p.m., made fans and air conditioners useless. Areas affected in the village were primarily those north of Sherman Street and east of State. Mrs. Clifton (Arloa) Baxter of Nashville is in the Cardiac Care Unit at Borgess Hospital, Kalamazoo, after un­ dergoing open heart surgery there last week. The operation was performed when complications developed during a stress test to check the heart. Additional details were not available at the time of this report.

The cameras, which are from the Sun series, feature built-in electronic flash and one-button operation. Sponsored by the Customer Service Division of Polaroid Corporation, the program is being offered in cooperation with the American Library Association (ALA). According to program manager Victoria Carr, the idea of borrowing a camera from the library isn’t as unusual as it may seem. “Libraries offer a wide variety of services and materials to patrons,” she said. “Instant cameras are a natural for an iformationoriented facility like the public library.” Peggy Barber, Director of Public Inofrmation for the ALA, SAID, “This is the first time that a corporation has made a commitment on this scale to the nation’s libraries. When times are tough and library budgets tight, we hope other com­ panies will follow Polaroid’s example.” w At the Putnam Public Library, persons 18 years or older with a valid library card may borrow a camera for up to one week. Patrons must supply their own film. the wedding and reception. Mary DeVries, sister of the groom, attended the guestbook. Punch was served by Tammy Bryans and Cheryl Hill, nieces of the bride. Carol and Bill Braatt, sister and brother-in-law of the groom, took care of the gifts at the reception which was held in the church fellowship hall following the ceremony. The ladies of the church served the reception meal. The happy couple honeymooned for a week in Florida. They are making their home at Barry’s Mobile Home Park on Charlton Park Rd. The lovely rehearsal dinner was hosted by the groom’s parents at Chicken Charlies in Kalamazoo. Carol Hill, Marcia Bryans and Claudine Hill co-hosted a miscellaneous bridal shower. Rena DeVries and daughter and daughter-in­ law co-hosted a grocery shower. Connie Scott and Vandy Stamm had a per­ sonal shower for the bride.

Tueidoy June 28. 1983 — Poge 4 School days of early Maple Grove A few residents of Maple Grove Township enjoyed educational facilities as early as 1840 — six years before the township became an independent organization, and some 14 years before Nashville was settled The earliest school in the township was conducted by Misses Emma and Maria Mott, daughters of prominent local landowner John Mott, in a home erected by the Motts on Section 26. “Miss Emma determined soon after (erection of the house) to open a school, and was promised the patronage of the few settlers who lived near and had small children,” notes an account published in 1880 by D. W. Ensign & Co. of Philadelphia on the history of Allegan and Barry counties. “The school opened with six scholars and did not greatly increase in number during its brief existence.” The first true schoolhouse in Maple Grove Township was built on Section 25 and was called the Quailtrap, due, says the history book, to “the fact some enterprising lads found it a convenient rendezvous in their ex­ peditions in search of these birds.” Later that school building, which was designated as District No. 1, was removed and a new and more spacious edifice substituted on Section 24. In 1880, according to the published history of Barry County, Maple Grove Township was divided into six whole and three frac­ tional school districts governed by a board of directors comprised of William G.

Average enrollmnent at “The teacher would have us little ones marking on the most rural schools of that blackboard while the older era was about 30 students — ones recited,” recalled varying from as low as 20 to around 40. Subjects taught were generally designed to instill fundamentals of education in rural youngsters from beginners to eighth graders. After Nashville’s Union School was constructed in 1884-85, rural children were given the opportunity of completing high school — but that required making daily roundtrips into the village via foot, horseback or buggy, or finding temporary lodging in town. The real influx of rural students to Nashville’s high school began in the 1890s and continued to increase yearly until, some half-century later, a general con­ solidation plan absorbed almost all surrounding township primary schools into the Nashville system. One by one, time took its toll on the little country schools — boarded up and abandoned. Some were saved by renovation into private homes. Others were razed. But all have left behind a legacy of fond memories of the past. 712 Nashville residents get Social Security Over 6,000 Barry County residents receive Social Security benefits each month according to Robert Fleminger, Social Security manager in Grand Rapids. This includes 712 Nashville residents. Each month about $2 million is paid to Barry County residents receiving Social Security, Fleminger said. Of that amount, $214,000 monthly is received by residents of Nashville. In Michigan there are 1,360,000 people receiving Social Security checks. Their combined checks total over $441 million each month, Fleminger said. Nationally 36 million people receive Social Security benefits totaling over $13 billion each month. These’ figures represent those people who receive the three major benefit types paid by Social Security. These are: retirement benefits for people 62 and over; survivors benefits for widows, widowers and children; and disability benefits for those under 65 who are totally disabled and have worked recently under Social Security. The figures also represent payments to persons dependent on retired or disabled workers. These include: wives or husbands age 62 or over; or at any age with a child under age 16 living with them; and children under age 18 or age 19 if still in high school. “As you can see Social Security touches the lives of many people,” Fleminger said. “It protects the in­ comes of the vast majority of people against the most serious risks that could disrupt normal sources of economic support.” EATON COUN1Y FARM AND HOME CALENDAR Tuesday, July 5 - 8 p.m. 4-H Council, Kardel Hall, Charlotte Fairgrounds.

Attempts will be made in the Michigan Senate to remove the added funds, but if they remain, the increase will still need the Governor’s approval. Republicans in the House were able to keep the money in the appropriations bill for fiscal year 1983-84. The total appropriations bill for K-12 education is $1.5 billion. UNEMPLOYMENT ELIGIBILITY TIGHTENED song, showed an energy that never let up during their 13song set. Buck, on mandolin and piano, and his daughters, Sharon and Cheryl, on guitar and upright bass respectively, sang their special mixture of county and bluegrass music of such hits as “I’m Hanging Around,” “You Put the Blue in Me,” and “I Wonder Who’s Holding My Baby Tonight.” Jerry Douglas was another highlight of the White show, backing them up with his exceptionally crisp dobro A comprehensive unemployment insurance reform measure was unanimously adopted by the Michigan House of Representatives that includes tighter requirements for voluntary quitters, and prohibits anyone who is fired because of stealing from collecting benefits. FEDERAL DOLLARS AID STATE’S WOMEN AND CHILDREN • Because of recent federal legislation, an additional 30,000 low to moderate income mothers and their children will be eligible to participate in Michigan’s Women, Infants and Children Supplemental Food Program (WIC). Michigan will receive $3.7 million in federal aid to help provide food supplements and nutritional education to pregnant and nursing women and their children. The WIC program is a health promotion effort, not a welfare program. Anyone interested in applying for the program can call the Michigan Department of Public Health, (517) 373-3664. FARM VEHICLE REGISTRATION CHANGES PROPOSED - The Michigan House of Representatives has approved legislation that will allow farmers to take ad­ vantage of lower vehicle registration rates for farm vehicles used exclusively for' farming purposes. The bill deletes language in the Michigan Vehicle Code requiring that only vehicles designed for hauling crops can take advantage of lower registration rates. A new registration fee is proposed that would be one-tenth of the usual vehicle fee, multiplied by the number of months (no less than three) for which the registration is valid, plus a $2 service charge. The measure still needs the approval of the Senate and the Governor’s signature before it goes into effect. ECONOMIC INCENTIVES TO THE UNEMPLOYED INTRODUCED - Legislation that would provide financial incentives so the unemployed will seek work and at the same time create tax credits for the employers who hire them has been recently introduced in the Michigan House. The bill would allow an unemployed worker who finds a new ob that pays less than his previous job to collect benefits adjusted so that his earnings would remain constant for a fixed period of time. FOURTH OF JULY WEEKEND - Operation C.A.R.E. will be in effect over the long Fourth of July holiday weekend. Events across Michigan include Milford’s Mill River Days, July 1-4; the North American Hot Air Balloon Challenge Cup at the Kellogg Regional Airport in Battle Creek, July 2-5; the Cass City Fourth of July Parade, July 4, at 11 a.m.; Muskegon’s Seaway Festival continues July 1-4; the International Freedom Festival, Detroit and Windsor, July 1­ 4; the Cherry Pit Spitting Contest, at Tree Mendus Fruit Farm,, Eau Claire,, July y 2;; and one of Michigan g ’s biggest gg extravaganzas run from July 3-9 in Traverse City, the National Cherry Festival.

He was featured in fine style on the number “The Tennessee Rag.” Younger daughter, Rosie, came out to sing “Love is a Rose” and showed that there is plenty more talent waiting in the wings. The Whites closed their show with two gospel songs, “Swing Down Chariot,” and after a lengthly ovation were brought back for an encore, “Follow the Leader.” They shared their love of gospel music for the audience as Sharon stated, “We believe what we’re singing about.” Continuing with the gospel music, during the break, local singer Herb Roberts sang one of his own com­ positions, “When the Road You’re Walking On” and gave those in attendence a preview of the 12-hour gospel show, “Kingdom Jam,” coming to Sandyland this Saturday at which Herb will be performing. Mel McDaniel opened the second half of the show with his hit “Take Me to the Country Tonight” and proceeded to keep the af­ ternoon at the high level established by the Whites. McDaniel immediatedly developed a rapport with the audience and made a special effort to sing the fans’ requests. This included doing a version of Hank Williams song “Your Cheating Heart” which Mel said he had only done once before. Backed by his band, Oklahoma Wind, Mel did all of his hits including “Louisiana Saturday Night,” I wish I Was in Nashville,” “Big Ole Brew” and encored with “Old Man River.” Mel McDaniel sang a number of songs that were requested by fans.

The weekend’s events were under the direction of Mrs. Stan (Esther) Horn of rural Charlotte, a spirited lady with a bubbly sense of humor who soon will end her stint as president of Michigan’s W.I.T. group, the “Water Wonderland Winnes”, who meet three times yearly for rallies. Among . activities at Ponderosa over the weekend were evening campfires; movies for the children; appearance of clowns; horseshoe playing and Frisbee contests; fiddle and accordion music; a magic show by Vermontville’s Nyle Wells; a Saturday evening roast beef dinner; and an inspirational Sunday mor­ ning performance by the Hammond Family gospel singers of Hastings.

Many of the W.I.T. people travelling from distant points in the USA have become fast friends with other Winnebago enthusiasts whom they have met at various camping rallies in past years. At Vermontville, many of the friendships were renewed as new arrivals rolled into the park Friday. During the first weekend of August, many ofthose who were at Vermontville expect to be among the 900 Win­ nebago units which will converge on Forest City, Iowa, for the Grand National rally — an annual event hosted by the Winnebago manufacturing firm which is headquartered in that city. On a 90-acre plot/featuring an open amphitheatre, camping units are parked along the “Avenue of States” by state groups.

(Maple Valley News photos by Susan Hinckley) by Susan Hinckley Nashville’s normally tranquil streets were jam­ med with sometimes bumper-to-bumper traffic Saturday as hundreds of bargain hunters thronged to the village — drawn by a unique communitywide garage sale sponsored by the local Chamber of Com­ merce. Sales were conducted at about three dozen private residences while in the downtown area flea market vendors and others set up shop along the sidewalks and in the vacant lot on the west side of Main Street. In Central Park, Maple Valley cheerleaders con­ ducted a “yard” sale to finance their attendance at a summer training camp. Merchants in the down­ town area also reported an increased flow of customers Saturday. Many of the business people ran special sales in conjunction with the event. At Putnam Library, used books were sold. Most householders who held yard or garage sales reported a brisk business starting as early as 7:30 a.m. Many were still “in business” at 5 p.m. The Chamber advertised the event extensively, which resulted in many visitors coming to the village from Hastings, Charlotte, Battle Creek and other area points. Judy Quantrell, president of the Nashville Chamber, rated the event “very suc­ cessful”. She said she had heard many favorable comments about the good turnout. “Everyone told me they really appreciated the Chamber advertising the sale,” said Mrs. Quantrell. “Many said it was the most people they had seen in town since the (1982) Harvest Festival.” Mrs. Quantrell said the outcome of the event will be discussed at the next meeting of the Chamber, and she hopes it can become an annual affair. Little Doug Crutcher, 2, of Hastings, tried on a over-sized helmet at a Cleveland Street sale, but his mother urged him to shop further for a better fit. Action-Ads GIGANTIC YARD SALE: 527 S.

Betz, Extension Agricultural Agent Farmers who attend Ag Expo *83, July 26-28 at Michigan State University, can see corn and soybean planting techniques and the effects of plant population density. Alfalfa planting practices will also be demonstrated. These field demonstrations are part of the agronomic activities planned for the three-day event, which is intended to provide Ag Expo par­ ticipants practical information for farm use. The corn and soybean demonstrations will be in two parts: 16 acres of planting demonstrations and a corn and soybean population wheel. Free shuttle buses will run bet­ ween the demonstration site and the Ag Expo exhibition area from 12:30 to 4 each afternoon. The planting demon­ strations will be conducted on soil that has been either ridged, no-tilled, moldboard plowed or chisel plowed. A 30- by 75-foot portion of each of the Id plots will have been planted in either corn or soybeans earlier to show the results of the various planting techniques. Planters will operate in the remainder of each of the 300by 75-foot tracts. The planting wheel will have two rows each of 45 corn hybrids and six rows each of 15 public soybean varieties. Each row will be 75 feet long. The corn plant population will run from 15,000 to 35,000 plants per acre. The soys will range from 75,000 to 250,000 plants per acre. “The planting wheel is intended to show the plant response to per acre plant population density according to soil type and cultural practice, given local weather conditions,” says Jim Kells, MSU Cooperative Extension Service agronomist.

Grain marketing outlook and straregy meeting planned Now that your crops are planted, and-or have PIK bushels, how will you market your commodity to receive the greatest net return? Should you hedge, place a basis contract, forward contract, participate in government programs, or hold off for now in an­ ticipation of better marketing opportunities in the near future? These questions and more will be addressed July 14, at 8 p.m. at the Lakewood High School located southeast of Lake Odessa on M-50. Jim Hilker, Cooperative Extension Service Marketing specialist, will discuss recent government reports and technical in­ formation, useful in making marketing decisions, in giving his prediction of how supply and demand will affect prices. Hilker will also address questions con­ cerning livestock marketing. Rob Fisher, broker with Merrill-Lynch out of Detroit, will discuss grain marketing and outlook and will give recommendations on marketing decisions as he sees it.

Questions about the program can be an­ swered by calling the Eaton County Extension office at 543-2310 or 372-5594. Disease defoliates shade trees Dead foliage, blighted twig tips and wholesale defoliation are among the symptoms of anthracnose, a fungal disease of shade trees that has struck sycamores, white oaks, maples and ashes throughout Michigan this spring. Allen Krizek, Eaton County Extension Director, says cool, wet weather in April and May favored development of the disease. “Fortunately, antracnose does not often kill trees,” Krizek notes. “Usually even trees that have been severly blighted in the spring can produce a new and healthy crop of leaves as soon as the temperatures increase.

Corner of Noshville Hwy. & Arbor Rd., Vermontville Spraying trees with fungicide is effective at reducing the incidence of disease if sprays are timed properly — they must be applied when buds start to open and once or twice after that at 10-day intervals. Spraying is time consuming and expensive, however. Instead, Krizek recommends that established plantings of anthracnose-susceptible trees be put on a regular fertilizer program. Fer­ tilizing regularly keeps trees growing vigorously. They may lose the first crop of leaves in the spring, but they quickly leaf out again and suffer no lasting injury from the disease. 4-H trail ride participants Ten Eaton County hor­ seback riding enthusiasts enjoyed scenic trails and good fellowship on the State 4-H Trail Ride June 17-19 near Traverse City. Par­ ticipants included Doug, Nola and Kim Buck, Leon and Linda McIntyre, Robin Scott, and Ron and Stephanie Wells, all of the Charlotte area; and Jack and Karen Worthington from Grand Ledge. The trail difficulty and riding time was varied ac­ cording to experience, conditioning and interest levels. Camp was set up at Sheck’s Place on the Michigan Riding-Hiking Trail, 10 miles southeast of Traverse City. Dancing, games and campfire ac­ tivities rounded out the trail ride weekend. PHONE 945-9554 For Action-Ads! Heading for the great outdoors this summer? Planning to rough it? Here are some simple fire-safety tipe to ensure that your trip doesn’t get rougher than you intended. Understand that almost all tents, even the ones labeled flame resistant, will burn. So the fire-wise camper keeps fuel burning lanterns, stoves and grills well away from the tent. And even though fire­ resistance is no cure-all, the smart camper buys only flame-resistant tents—every little bit helps. When pitching your tent, set up at least fifteen feet upwind from fire-places or the place you plan to use your grill. Plan on filling fuel burning devices another fifteen feet downwind of the cooking area. Use only battery operated lights inside the tent. Even then, it’s a good idea to have a fire extinguisher (or at least a pail of water) handy, and to.be ready to cut your way out if fire begins near the entrance. Maintain an area three feet around your fireplace, grill and tent that is free of leaves, dry grass, pine needles, etc. For extra safety, wet this area down with water before retiring; it reduces the likelihood of fire caused by motorists or other campers speeding to your tent. Before turning in or leaving the campsite, thoroughly extinguish fires and turn off fuel lanters and stoves. If you’re the kind who doesn’t like to forsake all the comforts of home, here are fire-wise tips for camper owners. Use only electric lights in trailers. Only gas or fuel burning heating and cooking equipment provided by the manufacturerer of the trailer should be used; regularly check and maintain flues and exhaust vents to prevent explosive or toxic concentrations of gas or combustion by-products from building up within the trailer. Never pour fuel or other flammable liquids inside the trailer; do this at least 15 feet downwind and clean spills thoroughly. Develop a fire escape plan. Have an axe and an ex­ tinguisher handy, and be ready to get out at the first sign oi tire, campers ana trailers are notorious for fast, large-volume flame­ spread. And since you’ve spent good money bringing the comforts of home into the wilderness, here’s a rule you should bring from home: no smoking in bed! Place ashes in metal containers or remove them from the trailer. No matter how you camp, bring the smallest possible quantity of flammable liquid and carry it all in safety containers. Don’t try to carry gasoline in the trunk of your car under any cir­ cumstances. Have a fire-wise summer...and may you enjoy many more.

It is federally funded and available to women and children in all Michigan counties who can meet certain requirements. The program, called W.I.C. (Women, Infants and Children), provides food from each of the four food groups and provides im­ portant nutritional information. “Our goal is to prevent birth defects and to promote good health from the beginning of life,” states Diane Finnerman, registered dietitian with the Barry-Eaton Health Department. “Also, many middle income people are finding themselves in a completely new economic situation due to unem­ ployment, etc. They may be eligible for the W.I.C. program,” she said. Participants meeting the following requirements are eligible: (1) One (number of people the income supports), $167 (weekly), $333 (bi-weekly), $722 (monthly), $8,660 (yearly); two (number of people the income supports), $221 (weekly), $443 (bi­ weekly), $959 (monthly), $11,510 (yearly); three, $276, $552, $1,197, $14,360; four, $331, $662, $1,434, $17,210; five, $386, $771, $1,671, $20,050; six, $440, $881, $1,908, $22,900; seven, $495, $990, $2,146, $25,750; eight, $550, $1,100, $2,383, $28,600; for each additional member in the economic unit, $55, $110, $238, $2,850. (2) Pregnant women, women who have recently delivered a baby, those who have a child under five years of age. (3) Must be a resident of Eaton or Barry County. (4) Women having a health or nutritional need (as is listed below). A health or nutritional need is seen as: iron deficiency anemia, under or overweight; inadequate diet regarding fruits, vegetables, calcium, protein; low birth weight babies (5-lb., 8-oz. or less); pregnant women under 17 years of age; women with diabetes; women who are pregnant with their first baby at age 34 years or older; women with hypertension, kidney disease, etc. Any woman on public assistance is eligible, too. Also, those women with a history of premature labor or cesaerian cesaerian section deliveries or have less than six months between pregnancies. The W.I.C. program has proven to be cost efficient as it reduces Medicaid and Medicare costs for those eligible. It is a six-month temporary program. “Nutritional instruction is built right into the program,” Diane says. W.I.C.’s dietitian works closely with each participant to determine how best to overcome the nutritional deficiency. After con­ sultation, coupons are available for iron fortified infant formulas and cereals, plus infant juices. Milk, eggs, cheese, juices, iron fortified cereals, peanut CHAiN SAW chains expertly sharpened and repaired, all sizes. Also, new chains, all sizes.

From our readers To the Editor: I was very .pleased to see the millage renewal at Maple Valley pass by a wide margin, but I am very concerned over the defeat of the 1.5 millage increase. The public is not aware of the hardship this may create at our schools. The school board certainly has its job cut out for them in main­ taining our schools with quality education for our children on the budget they are working with. Our communities, Nash­ ville and Vermontville, have very little to offer new citizens to our villages ex­ cept our school system. We must keep our quality teachers and administrators by offering them an incentitive to stay. It our school system falls short, new citizens will look elsewhere for their children’s education. Thank you to all who helped with the millage election. I appreciated the time you spent in helping and thanks also to the organizations for funding our advertising.

Each year, over one million American children suffer from child abuse. Over 2,000 ofthose abused children die. And, for many ofthose who live, the effects ofan abusive childhood may influence their entire lives. And ours. Many teenage drug addicts and teenage prostitutes report being abused children. So do juvenile delinquents and adult criminals. Because we pay to respond to those problems, we are all the victims ofchild abuse. Yet child abuse can and must be prevented. The National Committee for Prevention of Child Abuse is a private, charitable organization that knows how to prevent child abuse. But we need your help to do it. We need money. We need more volunteers. Send us your check today, or write for our booklet. And, remember, ifwe don’t all start somewhere, we won’t get anywhere.

Search underway for outstanding senior citizens continues Time is wanning in the search for Senior Citizen of the Year award winners. “Only four weeks remain in this contest,” says Olivia (Libby) P. Maynard, Director of the Office of Services to the Aging (OSA), one of two co-sponsoring agencies for the awards. Deadline for receipt of applications is Friday, July 22. Presentation of the awards will be made Senior Citizens Day, Monday, August 29, at the Michigan State Fair. “While a number of ap­ plications have been received for this award, I feel there are many more older people who would certainly qualify in both categories of service and leadership,” says Maynard. The fact that her agency has not been flooded with ap­ plications, she says, in no way reflects a lack of dedicated, hard-working or talented older Michiganians. “We just aren’t hearing about them,” says Maynard. The contest, sponsored for the past several years by OSA and the Michigan State Fair, seeks to highlight contributions of persons 60 and over to their community. By singling out those in­ dividuals who have par­ ticularly benefitted their peers, the Commission and OSA are able to give more recognition to the positive aspects of aging. “As the number of older persons increase each year, and as people live longer and retire earlier, everyone, I should think, would want to learn more about the aging process. This contest affords us the opportunity to acquaint the public with some great role models, and to pay tribute to some out­ standing individuals.” Applications for the Senior Citizen of the Year Awards 1983 can be obtained from any of the State’s fourteen area agencies on aging, or by writing OSA at P.O. Box 30026, Lansing, Michigan 48909. Only organizations can submit applications.

In the afternoon, Ivar Frick, superintendent of the Michigan District of Assemblies'of God, spoke at a 2:30 p.m. service. The services were con- ducted by the current pastor, Rev.

(Maple Valley News photo by Susan Hinckley) Antique donated to Putnam Public Library by Susan Hinckley A piece of antique fur­ niture with strong ties to Nashville has found a new home a* Putnam Public Library. A small walnut commode, it was once part of a bedroom suite that included a spindle bed and belonged to Almon and Carrie (Wood) Murray, who moved to Nashville about five years after they were married on Sept. 30, 1875, in Huron County, Ohio. The commode was donated last week to the library by former Maple Grove area resident Lawrence Gray of Charlotte, whose late wife, Geraldine Newton Gray, granddaughter of the Nashville librarian La Duska Sheldon admires a small walnut commode recently donated to Putnam Public Library. The antique piece has strong ties to Nashville, having once belonged to early local residents Almon and Carrie Murray. The commode was presented to the library by Lawrence Gray of Charlotte, whose late wife Geraldine was a granddaughter of the Murrays. (Maple Valley News photo by Susan Hinckley) Murrays, inherited the furniture. The Murrays settled on a Castleton Township farm northwest of Nashville in 1880 and lived there until they moved, into Nashville in 1902. Almon was one of four original rural mail carriers in Nashville, serving Route One for nearly 15 years. Isa Newton, who marrid the Murrays’ daughter, Eva, was another of the original carriers. (Isa later moved Ms family to Ypsilanti; attended business college; became office manager of the old Michigan Crown Fender Company, and then worked for University of Michigan. The Murray bedroom furniture was passed on to the Newton’s daughter, Geraldine.) Lawrence Gray, who refinished the small commode about 30 years ago, said his late wife used the piece as a silver chest. The rest of the bedroom suite has been disposed of since then. “Almon Murray was quite a poet,” recalls Gray. “He had some pieces published in national papers, and I still have a copy of one he wrote on the sinking of the ‘Titanic’ (in 1912).” Almon died in January 1939; Carrie passed away in 1941. Both Mr. and Mrs. Murray joined Laurel Continued on page 2 A history of the 30 years of the local Assembly of God was presented Sunday by Milbourne Miller and Rev. Taylor’s wife, Naomi. For the services, Janice Miller presided at the piano and Sharon B. Miller at the organ. Rev. and Mrs. David Ames of Charlotte presented special music. -Sharon B. Miller and her sister, Bonnie McKenzie, sang a requested selection, “Do You Know My Jesus?”. The girls first sang this song at the Nashville Assembly of God as children at the time their mother, Mrs. Horace Stilt, and Rev. Belle Terrell co-pastored the church. Other former pastors not able to attend Sunday’s celebration include Rev. and Mrs. Archie Brodie; Rev. and Mrs. Roger Kimerer, and Rev. Thelma Youngs. Hastings Jaycees urge support of benefit dance July 8 The Hastings Jaycettes are staging a benefit dance July 8 in Nashville to raise funds to support a drug abuse program. The dance will be held from 9 p.m. to 1:30 a.m. at the Nashville Fire Barn, featuring music by Party Down, a popular disc jockey group from the Nashville area. Profits from the dance are earmarked for the Palmer Drug Abuse program in Milford, Mi. The program is a priority project of the Michigan Jayce&sJaycettes. The program is an out­ patient clinic similar to Alcoholics Anonymous. It has national ties and this is the first such clinic in the state. This priority project is part of a community action awareness of the problems of our young, said a spokesperson for the local organization. “In our depressed times, these young people turn to drugs instead of being hooked on life. This clinic is a start in their road back to a normal life,” said the spokesperson. The Hastings Jaycees fully support the Jaycettes’ plans for the dance and urge everyone to attend and give to a problem that is not only all over the state, but in this area as well. Both the Jaycettes and the Jaycees believe the clinic should expand to other sites in the state. Persons who would like additional information about the drug abuse program may contact the Palmer Drug Abuse Program, Huron Valley, Inc., P.O. Box 460, Milford, Mi. 48042 or call (313) 684-7227.

We hope to have an op­ portunity to run the photo again sometime, complete with identification. At the period when the about-1910 picture was taken, Len Feighner was Nashville’s postmaster. He was succeeded in that post in 1914 by Henry Glasner. In his letter to us, Gray wrote: “I greatly enjoy the Memories page each week, having been in contact with people there to some extent for some 67 years. Thanks so much for your good work.” And our thanks to Mr. Gray for his assistance and his kind words. Incidentally, it was Lawrence Gray who loaned us a graphic set of photos of the March 28, 1920 tornado which struck the Wilcox neighborhood in Maple Grove Township. His pic­ tures were used to illustrate a Memories account of that event published on June 11, 1980.

I < �The Maple Valley News, Nashville, Tuesday, July 5, 1983 — Page 4 Past July celebrations ranged from grand to "nothing doing"! (Note: The following account is repeated in part from a story first published on July 2, 1979.) Nashville’s “grand ’n glorious” celebrations of July 4th commenced well over a century ago but the very first is not recorded, for that gala event predated regularly published news in the village. Just nine months after 19year-old Orno Strong began publication of the Nashville News in October 1873, he wrote of Nashville’s plans for the annual patriotic doings. “Arrangements for Nash­ ville’s grand 4th of July celebration are practically completed,” wrote Strong in June 1874. He reported that Capt. L. C. Boise had been appointed Marshal of the Day and would be assisted by G. W. McCormick, F. M. Quick of Maple Grove, and Jesse Jordan of Woodland. The following year, Strong gave a detailed financial account in his coverage of the successful 1875 holiday observance. “E. R. White, treasurer of the 4th of July celebration committee, reports that $171.75, the whole amount collected from the merchants, was ex­ pended for the affair. Largest item was $63.60 for fireworks; the Cornet Band received $40; printing amounted to $72.50 and the rest went mainly for prizes.” But it was the next year — 1876 — that Nashville wit­ nessed its grandest patriotic celebration to date, as the village joined the USA in observing the 100th an­ niversary of the signing of the Declaration of In­ dependence. Centennial Fourth of July-arches were strung across Main Street, and the spans were decorated with evergreens and the national emblem. On the dawning of the big day, Nashville was rousted with a 38-gun salute: one volley for each state of the Union. The weather that Cen­ tennial Fourth was somewhat less than perfect — at least to start the day. “The morning of the 4th opened gloomy and lowering enough,” observed Strong, “as citizenry for miles around were awakened by the roar of cannon, ringing of bells and shriek of steam whistles.” Notwithstanding several morning showers, Nash­ ville’s streets were thronged with people by the time skies cleared for a morning parade headed by Feighner’s martial band followed by 45 teams pulling “gorgeously decorated rigs.” An additional 150 teams joined in the procession which ended with speeches and entertainment. “The car of the Goddess of Liberty, containing 38 pretty ladies, representing the 38 states of the Union, was a sight to behold,” noted Strong. Estimates by “competent judges” set the crowd at 5,000 by mid-afternoon, which was close to twice the size of the crowd in Hastings at that time, claimed Strong. Races and sporting events filled the day and in the evening there were fireworks, dances and general merriment. “Verily, it was a great day in Nashville,” concluded the News account. Perhaps the success of the Centennial Fourth explains the influx of people to Nashville for the following year’s celebration. “The 101st anniversary of American Independence was a grand ’n glorious day in Nashville,” reported Strong. “We were awakened by the firing of guns and ringing of bells, and early in the morning people began coming from all directions.” The 7:45 a.m. train from the west was loaded with folks from Hastings and other points. Shortly after 9 a.m. the first Red Ribbon delegation, composed of 42 teams from Maple Grove, arrived in the village. The Meadville and Castleton vv * *»« J? z. clubs arrived soon after, the latter comprising 55 teams each displaying colorful banners. Soon the entire A July 4th performance by strong man Prof. Merrill on a stage in present-day Central Park drew throngs to Main Street in 1906, but his feats did not equal the entertainment provided by mishap when four men climbed atop the brick McLaughlin Block (left of stage in photo) to end Nashville's 1906 celebration in a spectacular though unexpected blaze of glory. As a local supplier of fireworks, Barker's Bakery played a vital role in Nashville's early 4th of July celebrations. It also was a good place to get a delicious hot lunch or a warm cinnamon roll fresh from the oven. Ernest Barker closed his Charlotte bakery in 1905 and moved the operation to Nashville, where he remained until his death in 1924. He also was engaged in the elevator and furniture business here.

The bakery is now the site of Thornapple General Store. company formed a giant parade headed by the Comet Band, and marched to the cemetery to listen to patriotic speeches — sort of a forerunner to Decoration Day. Two years later an added Nashville attraction on the fourth was a baseball game between the “Farmer Boys” of Maple Grove and the “Heavy Batters” of Woodland. Independence Day celebrations continued at a steady pace through 1880, when more than $300 was subscribed by local mer­ chants and others to finance the event. “Nashville this year will contests and games, in­ cluding foot races, horse racing and “such mirth­ provoking contests as a bun­ eating affair which was won by an unnamed gentleman of African extraction believed to be from Battle Creek.” Another year passed and by 1881 the spirit of the village seemed radically changed. “With Nashville for once laying aside the fatiguing and thankless task of promoting an Independence Day celebration, local X, J have the greatest 4th of July celebration in the history of Barry County,” predicted Strong in late June of 1880. G. A. Truman had been chosen President of the Day and committees had been named to look after various features of the gala affair. “There will be, among other things, no less than four bowery dances,” ad­ vised the News. Again, Strong was correct. An estimated 5,000 people packed Nashville for an exciting holiday filled with residents for the most part spent the 4th at Thornapple Lake, where both Morgan and Thornapple offered special inducements,” reported Strong. The “inducements” were speeches, races and other sporting events, fireworks, and dancing in the evening. A very special treat was noted: “At Thornapple, the steamer, Gem, was kept busy all day carrying gay parties around the lake.” There was at least one Continued on next page 2 SPRUCE UP for SUMMER ...with a NEW STYLE just for you by ..

July 1902: “There was nothing doing in Nashville on the Fourth. The streets were deserted... practically threefourths of the population appeared to be out at Thornapple Lake enjoying the cool breezes and ex­ cellent fishing.” July 1904: “Nashville will not have a celebration on the Fourth... there will be a general exodus from town to Thornapple Lake where there will be ball games and fireworks in the evening, in addition to boating, bathing and fishing throughout the day.” July 1905: “Nashville was quiet on the Fourth with what seemed like two-thirds of the town’s population at Thornapple Lake.” It is unknown what in­ spired Nashville residents to again tackle the “fatiguing and thankless task” of staging their own In- Places to । go and Things to do. tsfalite sffiilHft lait sluiitl aid W1 speciil “** reportedS® LOOK YOUR BEST at all times! ■Cred" passed and iptte. ®r sporty I”2-* iritt d H* aadW11* radicallyAitnsp’’ Bld'W lefiatt steamer. steamer C*8 aiijirt toying [[aiijirt task »l paries^ Thsst* ' ieps^ dependence Day festivities, but in 1906 the custom was revived with success: “Nashville’s 4th of July celebration was a hummer in every particular, with perfect weather and large crowds.

The air was full of commotion and red fire, and Mac and his boys took such places of safety as they could find behind chimneys and for two minutes dodged sky rockets. Many thought the building would be set on fire, but it was not, and no one was injured.” Nashville survived its holiday revival.

Diversey Chicago, IL. 606— -35 rom our reaers To The Editor: The Fourth of July is that time in which we remember the Declaration of In­ dependence, and the birth of freedom and opportunity in a nation called the United States ofAmerica. It was the cataclyst that started America on the way to becoming the greatest country on earth. A Russian immigrant wrote a famous and beloved song about America and its worth. The composer was none other than Irving Berlin and his words, “God Bless America” was a theme, in part, during the anxious and troubled days of World War II. They are equally appropriate in the uncertain times of the present. However, there are troublesome things in America in 1983 that dim the inspiring words of “God Bless America, land that we love”. In order to receive such a blessing we Americans have to be worthy. Sadly enough we have allowed some of that worthiness to be eroded and destroyed. In days gone by a distinguished foreign visitor to our shores had this compelling observation and comment, “ America is great because America is good—if it ever loses its goodness it will lose its greatness”. It is quite evident that some of that goodness has indeed, been lost Irving Berlin recogonized that America had been in­ spired and ordained by God Himself and was in turn upon the dependent Almighty. Modern America has, by judical decree, been told that it is illegal to honor God in education, in government, or public assembly because of a norijudicial and wrong in­ terpretation of separation of Church and State. Our national goodness had its inception in the firm belief that a Higher Power of omnipotence did exist. When our nation began to deny that faith and purpose we began to lose our goodness. If we want this nation to remain free it must remain good. It will remain good only so long as that goodness is rooted in our Pledge of AUegance “ONE NATION— GOD­ UNDER INDIVISIBLE AND WITH LIBERTY AND JUSTICE FOR ALL” The wonderful freedom and opportunity that we enjoy as citizens in this great, free land must never be taken for granted —lest we lose it.

He’s a cat. And Koonta was recently selected from thousands of U.S. and Canadian entries as a regional winner in the 18th Annual All-American Galmour Kitty Contest. Owners Paulla J. and Michael Tefft of Ver­ montville last week received word that Koonta Kitty was not among the lucky 18 felines who will go on to finals competition in Florida, but they are very proud of their 20-lb. yellow “tiger” cat who resembles TV’s Morris the Cat. The Glamour Kitty con­ test, now in its 18th year, is Florida’s answer to “Miss America” but for cats only. “It’s the only international cat contest of its kind which honors the agile alley cat, fiesty feline and marvelous mouser,” says its sponsor, the Glamour Kitty Cat Litter company. The 18 semi-finalists along with their owners will fly to Florida this month to enjoy an all-expense paid week at the luxurious Sheraton Bal Harbour Hotel where the competition is held. There, as guests of Glamour Kitty Litter, they will continue their quest for the coveted Glamour Kitty title while TV crews and newspaper reporters keep tabs on the finalists as they compete in events designed to showcase their beauty and skills. Flashy feline costumes and athletic prowess are two areas in which the animals will be judged. The winning glamourpuss will be awarded a gold and jeweled crown and fur-trimmed cape in addition to a year’s supply of Glamour Kitty Cat Litter and Sergeant’s Sentry V cat collars, feline jewelry, a TV set and colorful ribbons and trophies. Although Koonta Kitty of Vermontville is not in the running for those top awards, he did earn a supply of toys, cat litter and flea colars plus a jade necklace for his mistress. Paulla Tefft was responsible for entering Koonta Kitty in the contest but went one step beyond the required 100-word essay: she composed an original 100word poem about her cat, transcribed it in calligraphy and submitted it in booklet form along with a few color snapshots of Koonta Kitty. Some time later, the Teffts were notified that their cat was one of the 99 regional winners and received a certificate which now hangs in the dining room of their large, old brick home on Ionia Road. Koonta will be three in August, and the Teffts have owned him since he was just a small kitten. Goulash, chocolate-topped vanilla ice cream and Rice Krispies are among Koonta’s favorite foods. He enjoys chasing racoons and woodchucks and “is a pretty good mouser for his size,” says Mrs. Tefft. Twenty pound* of gentlene**, Koonta Kitty of Vermontville loves goulash, ice cream, and Rice Krispies. Owned by the Michael Teffts, he now has a 5­ year "on call" contract which could make him an advertising model for a cat products company after placing as a regional winner in a national Glamour Kitty contest. Although Koonta Kitty and his owners won’t be flying to Florida for the competition, the Teffts did receive a fiveyear contract from the sponsoring firm which en- 60LDEN UttLUES VIDAL SASSOON LANACANE CREME 1 0Z.

We’ve been through the smoke-detectors-causecancer scare. And we’ve been through the smokedetectors-containradioactive-materials scare. But now there’s just no excuse not to install one or more of these silent sentinels in your home. What’s so great about smoke detectors? Well, out of the thousands of U.S. fire deaths (one an hour and climbing), very few victims die in flames. Most die from inhaling smoke and toxic gases released by a fire several rooms away; many are found dead without a burn on their bodies. Ob­ viously, your time of greatest vulnerability to smoke, the silent killer, is when you sleep. The smoke detector functions by squealing to wake you up when it detects hazardous quantities of smoke particles in the air. There are no two ways about it: smoke detectors save lives by awakening people in time to escape...people who would otherwise never wake up again. If you already own a smoke detector, you may now turn to the other news in this paper. If you still don’t own a smoke detector, mark your place in this column, put down the newspaper and go buy one.

Agent More than 400 commerical farm exhibits and 16 acres of field planting demonstrations highlight Ag Expo ’83, the largest farm equipment show of its type in Michigan. The event, being held July 26-28 at Michigan State University, is expected to attract more than 50,000 people. A variety of tours and educational exhibits will round out the program. Visitors will be able to see just about every type of equipment needed to help inprove 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 Roger Betz, Eaton County Extension Agricultural Agent. “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 Ag Expo.” The 35 acres of machinery displays will represent almost every mechanized area in a typical farm operation. Examples include irrigation systems; grain harvesting, handling and storage systems; crop sprayers; farm buildings; and seed and fertilizer supplies and services. At least 18 university educational exhibits are being planned for Ag Expo. Most of these will answer questions on crop insect, weed and disease control; soil testing and erosion prevention; computerized farm recordkeeping, livestock health management, and other farm-related topics. Daily field demon­ strations, from 12:30 to 4 p.m., will show corn and soybean yields using various planting techniques, in­ cluding planting on ridges, no-till planting, planting on ground that has been chiselplowed and planting on soil that has been moldboard plowed. There will also be alfalfa planting demon- strations. Other activities include selected tours of MSU teaching and research units related to farming. Free buses will carry visitors from the Ag Expo site to the field demonstrations and tours. Ag Expo is free and open to the public. Visitors will find plenty of free parking at the main Expo site, on the corner of Mt. Hope and Farm Lane. Details of Ag Expo may be obtained from the Eaton County MSU Cooperative Extension office, 126 N. Bostwick Street, Charlotte. 131st Annual Barry County JULY 17 ...thru... JULY 23 Al FRIDAY 8:00 P.M.

The 1983-84 school year may not be here yet, but the Maple Valley FFA is steadily gearing up for it! The 1983-84 chapter of­ ficers attended Region V Leadership Training Camp, June 16-17, at the Lansing Environmental Education Center near Wayland. This camp is a training program to orient new officers to their respective office. The officers — President Scott Everett, Vice President Steve Gardner, Treasurer Chris Barton, Secretary Del Rae Travis, Sentinel Alan Mater, Reporter John Clements, and Parliamentarian Gary Packer — all attended the sessions. One of the highlights of the camp came with the awarding of the Regional Farmer certificates which signify extra work done at the chapter level and beyond the chapter level. Scott Everett and John Clements received their Regional Farmer certificates this year. The highlight of the entire camp is the election of new regional officers. This year, two of the Maple Valley FFA members ran for regional office. Candidates are in­ terviewed and an election is held for each office. The membership of the region includes 16 schools. Scott Everett ran for regional president with John Clements running for sen­ tinel. Maple Valley has not had a regional officer in recent history, according to NOTICE The Vermontville Transfer Station will be OPEN JULY 9 and 23 instead of July 2 and 16.

Betz Ext. Agr. Agent Insecticide impregnated ear tags are very effective in reducing horn and face flies on beef cows. “The insecticide is gradually released and spreads over the body of the animal to repel flies,” says Roger A. Betz, Eaton County Extension Agricultural Agent. “The treated tags are effective throughout the entire fly season and should be applied in May or early June to get the full season benefit.” The synthetic pyrethroid insecticides-either fenvalerate (trade name Ectrin) or permethrin (trade names Ectiban, Atroban, Permectrin and othres) are released by the animals’ motion in combating flies or their grooming of them­ selves or their calves, Betz explains. Horn flies, primarily found around the animal’s back and shoulders are biting flies that feed on blood. Grazing is interrupted by the . annoying biting, and the combination of reduced grazing and blood loss results in lower calf gains. Control of face flies, which feed on mucous secretions around the eyes, nose and mouth, will help control the spread of pink eye. Use of two tags per cow reduces horn flies by 96 to 99 percent and face flies by 52 to 72 percent. As a result, average calf weaing weight increases about 11 pounds. The tags cost about $1.25 each. In addition to tags, one company is marketing fly strips which may be at­ tached to the cow or calf in the usual manner or tied to an ear tag or a halter. Another company is marketing a tag that wraps like an adhesive bandage around the neck of an ear tag. There is nd evidence that any of the three forms­ tags, strips or tapes-has an advantage over the others. 4-H hog clinic planned A 4-H Hog Clinic for all interested youth and adults will be held on Wednesday, July 13, at 7:30 p.m. The clinic will include demon­ strations on how to prepare hogs for a show and how to show and judge them. The session will be held at the Buddy Day farm, 2225 Osborn Hwy., Olivet, Michigan. For more information on the clinic contact Nancy D. Thelen, Eaton County 4-H Youth Agent at 543-2310 or 372-5594. Nashville man found dead in health spa's whirlpool A 22-year-old Nashville man died Friday of an apparant drowning at the Universal Heath Spa where he was employed at the Frandor Mall in Lansing. Jon C. Travoli of 509 Reed St. was pronounced dead at Sparrow Hospital in Lansing after co-workers found his body in a whirlpool at the health spa. Travoli had worked as an instructor at the spa for about six weeks. After the spa had closed Friday, he complained of a tightness in his chest and had decided to use the whirlpool to see if it would relieve the tightness, according to a neighbor. An autopsy was to be performed. Travoli, the son of Warren and Carla (Anderson) Travoli, graduated from Maple Valley High School in 1979. He attended Davenport College and Lansing Com­ munity College and had acquired an associate’s degree in liberal arts. Born Feb. 10, 1961 in Chesterton, Indiana, Travoli moved to Nashville with his parents in 1976. He was a member of the First Lutheran Church of Charlotte. In addition to his parents, Travoli is survived by a brother, James, at home; and his maternal grand­ parents, Mr. and Mrs. Carl Anderson of Port Huron. Funeral services were held Saturday, July 2 at Vogt Funeral Home in Nashville. Rev. Leonard Putnam of­ ficiated. Burial was in Lakeview Cemetery, Nash­ ville.

VERMONTVILLE VILLAGE COUNCIL �The Maple Valley News. Nashville, Tuesday, July 5. 1983 — Page 9 Letters Home by Nina Wolpe, wife of Congressman Howard Wolpe The jazz band suddenly quit playing, and over the loud speakers we could hear the control tower talking to the pilot aboard the NASA spacecraft carrier: “The helicopter is one-half mile ahead of you and just over the runway.” We all turned toward the Dulles airport runway that had been closed off to normal traffic, and, abruptly, out of the hazy sky, there it was — the Orbiter Enterprise, riding piggy-back on the 747 aircraft “just like on TV”. But awesomely huge in real life, and gleaming white. Cumbersome — and yet at the same time attractive in flight. My first thought was, “These American geniuses could make a freight train fly, and it would look good in flight!” Our 13-year-old son, Michael, described what he thought at the first sight of it. “It doesn’t fit into our time. It’s like being on the outside looking in on another world.” Mike and I had taken an 8 a.m. bus out to Dulles, joining nearly 100,000 others who gathered for the Orbiter ■Enterprise fly-in. The Or­ biter had been on display in a number of cities around the world, and now, here it was, landing in Washington, D.C. before returning to its test and launch functions in California. As if caught in the orbiter’s gravitational pull, the crowd eagerly surged toward the landing aircraft — a huge wave of happy people rushing to greet it, to get a better view. I stood there with all the other applauding, whistling, smiling Americans who had turned out to see this sight, and I had the strange feeling of being linked almost genetically to other crowds — a feeling that this crowd was an historical descendant of its ancestoral forebears: whole neighborhoods and towns in Oregon — as my mother recalls from her childhood — rushing outside from their dinner tables to see and cheer for the mail plane flying over; audiences thrilling to the amazing skills of the Blue Angels; crowds for the Hindenberg, for Charles Lindbergh, for John Glenn and Neil Arm­ strong; crowds surviving long lines to give homage to the Jedi Knights and hyperspacing; and millions Vermontville news by Ava Kroger fa ana oijKttfdii ti I Ht iqini u mnik’i in taaiiriirti ilH JnfilSi Kisi! taitliabi :is njtiWjehi Mb prtiUHni pjik mIH IM lltoll (Mi I iek W i?b tuftn^F* ,^3 Iniiiw^1 ;®,it hteJ*** ^B*l ia* 3}*j®?T E u-fi jjiisiW** r *s» * di** (Sfe <*»»»* 55X 5X Mrs. Florence Kilpatrick and Mr. Jim Zemke are home and convalescing from their recent surgery.

Mrs. Frances Olson at­ tended the wedding of her oldest granddaughter Saturday p.m. at her parents’ home. For several years, it has been known that many bees were in the upstairs wall in the museum. This past week, a bee man from Nashville cut some siding and took out several gallons of honey and enticed the bees into a hive by placing two ladders with a plank between to hold the hive. The children of Dr. and Mrs. Sunil Das of Ann Arbor, Muriel Benedict, held a surprise open house for their parents’ silver anniversary on Saturday, June 2. Many of the Benedict family at­ tended.

A few minutes later, as we were getting ready to eat, the Concorde suddenly and unexpectedly reappeared, swinging around into view and maneuvering down closer and closer toward us. This sleek, long-lined plane — its futuristic, family resemblance to the Orbiter strong — gracefully ap­ proached the shuttle. As it flew low over the Enterprise, the Concorde, in a gesture that charmed all of us watching, tipped its right wing down in a sign of respect and admiration — and obviously in a greeting of sisterly affection.

The fund would focus, streamline and stimulate investment and entrepreneurial activities in Michigan by increasing the availability of financing for all types of businesses. SURROGATE PARENT UPDATE - Legislation per­ mitting surrogate parenting in Michigan has been approved by the House Judiciary Committee. H.B. 4114 sets guidelines for the practice but does not allow the surrogate mother to earn more money for her participation, other than medical costs. Another bill in the Senate would ban surrogate parenting altogether. MEDICAID CONTROLS SOUGHT - Legislation aimed at reducing Medicaid hospital costs, saving the state an estimated $63 million, has been introduced in the Michigan House of Representatives. The bill would require the Department of Social Services to establish districts within the state and to enter into exclusive contracts with hospitals located within those districts on a competitive bid basis. The proposal is based on the successful California plan. FAMILY SUPPORT SUBSIDY ACT APPROVED IN HOUSE - The Michigan House of Representatives has ap­ proved legislation H.B. 4448,. that would allow parents of severely impaired children who are caring for them in their own homes to receive state financial support. The bill is designed to save the state money that is currently being spent on institutionalizing the impaired. The proposal, which would be optional, still needs the approval of the Senate and the Governor.

Offer Good July 6-9 1658 Lansing Rd., Charlotte - Ph. 543-0733 Automotive Service Center, Ph. 543-1197 t Robert Shaffer of the Barry-Eaton District Health Department has offered the following information regarding Swimmers itch; Swimmers itch is a skin infection some bathers are confronted with usually during the months of June and July. Bathers may contract a skin rash from tiny parasites after swim­ ming lakes or streams that are effected. Each summer, the Barry-Eaton District Health Department receives reports of the occurance of this condition. The organism responsible for swimmers itch has a life cycle involving snails and water birds. Bathers are accidentally infected when the organism attaches to a person’s skin. The rash occurs when the organism penetrates the skin and the body reacts to it. When penetration has occurred a small red spot is common which is mildly to severly itchy, depending on the in­ dividual. Once the rash develops there is little that can be done in the way of treatment, although some relief can be obtained using soothing lotions. Severe cases should be referred to your doctor. When in contact with in­ fected waters, the health department recommends upon emerging from the water, a bather briskly gdji the skin dry with a towel. This will greatly reduce the number of penetrations. Children should not be permitted to play for ex­ tended periods in shallow water. Action-Ads 1979 PINTO WAGON: Sharp, only $2,195.

Box A, Nashville, Michigan Phone 945-9554 (Hastings) The Maple Valley News, Nashville, Vol. 112 - No. 3 - Tuesday, July 12, 1983 Over 400 attend Nashville circus by Susan Hinckley The Ford Brothers Circus of Cut and Shoot, Tex. played in Nashville Sunday, July 3 to an audience of 409 per­ sons. Animals, aerialists, trapeze artists, gymnasts and clowns entertained for nearly two hours under the big top set up on the old Riverside ball field. A family circus now in its fifth generation of Ford ownership, the show em­ ployes a troupe of ap­ proximately 85 persons. A few local hands were hired Sunday to set up and tear down the rig in temperatures that reached 90 degrees. The excitement on the ball field started at about 9 a.m. with the unloading of the circus animals from the large trucks in which they travel. Free of charge, onlookers were treated to closeup views of a menagerie that included a giraffe, a camel, six elephants; bear cubs, a wallaby, a llama, a chim­ panzee and an emu. Also performing later in the three-ring circus were a number of ponies and dogs. Unlike some circuses which charge for previews of their animals, the Ford Brothers policy is to invite the public to be on hand to watch the unloading and Watching preparations for Sunday's circus in Nashville was this placid camel who later appeared in the show.

The only charges levied outside the big top were to tour the reptile house or to ride the elephants. The Ford Bros. Circus, which is on the road nine months of every year, normally is staged under 21,000 sq. ft. of brightly colored red and white vinyl, billed as the largest European style big top in North America. However, that 130x215 ft. beauty is Dave Hawkins, trustee of the Maple Valley Riverside Development Corp., local sponsors of the circus, pets one of the friendly elephants. back in the factory for two weeks of refurbishing, so a slightly smaller canvas tent had to be substituted for the Nashville show. Still, its Sunday morning raising with the aid of numerous hands and two husky elephants attracted a audience of spectators. The general bleacher seating under the big top was filled to capacity for Sun­ day’s 3 p.m. performance while the smaller grand­ stand area was about half filled. A pleasant breeze swinging through the canvas side drapes helped alleviate the sultry afternoon heat. Balloons, popcorn, peanuts and snow cones were ped­ dled in the stands by circus hands. Multiple performances went on simultaneously in three rings while “oohs” and “aahs” rose from an audience liberally sprinkled with excited children. Ending the show in a grand finale high above the crowd were the Flying Lunas from Chile, a family of five aerialists — the youngest member being an 11-year-old son. The Maple Valley Recreational Development Corp., local sponsors of the show, sold $820 in advance tickets for the circus, and earned for their efforts roughly $260 to be designated for their ongoing project of developing a recreational park west of Nashville’s Main Stret business district. Ball fields and picnic facilities already are in place there; building of a boat launch on the adjacent Thornapple River is one of their next goals.

Nashville wants to refurbish pool Small fry were delighted to make the acquaintance of Christopher, a 3-year-old giraffe whose handler calls him "gentle as a kitten." by Susan Hinckley The Nashville community as a whole as well as some lucky individual will be “winners” in a 50-50 drawing launched Thursday by the local Chamber of Com­ merce. Proceeds of the fund­ raiser have been designated for civic improvement, but the particular project touted at Thursday’s meeting was the renovation of the old fountain in Central Park. With permission of village officials, the Chamber will propose refurbishing the ciruclar wading pool which has been converted into a flower bed since the foun­ tain’s statue was stolen some 40 years ago. In its heyday, the Central Park fountain was the centerpiece of a restful haven for Main Street shoppers. As an alternate plan, the Chamber decided Thursday to use raffle proceeds to acquire lifesize Nativity scene figures to be placed in the park at Christmas-time. Chamber members hope to sell 1000 tickets at $2 each for a drawing to be conducted Sept. 17 during Nashville’s 1983 Harvest Festival. The winner need not be present to claim the bonanza, which will be a minimum of $500 cash. If all tickets are sold, the holder of the lucky ticket will take home $1,000. Even if all raffle tickets have not been sold by the time of the drawing, the Chamber will guarantee $500 cash to the winer. In a 50-50 raffle, proceeds of ticket sales are divided equally between the sponsoring organization and the winner of the drawing. In other business Thur­ sday the Chamber heard a suggestion from Herb Andler, owner of Justin Carriage Works, that Nash­ ville’s business people should capitalize on the tourism potential of the village by advertising jointly on a billboard along 1-94, just south of Battle Creek. He cited statistics to back up his claim that such advertising is very effective. Andler, who has gained national recognition as a manufacturer of custommade buggies, said: “I think Nashville has the potential to draw people to it, especially with Sandyland Park, my carriage shop and the an­ tique stores.” He said that in the near future he plans to implement a program called Coun­ tryside Carriage Tours which will offer patrons rides in horse-drawn Justin buggies along a scenic route through Nashville and vicinity. He said such carriage rides now are being sucessfully operated in San Antonio, New Orleans, and other points in the USA. Justin buggies are being used in some of those ven­ tures. . “There is a lot of talent in this town,” said andler, who moved here several years ago from Lansing. He said the proposed billboard would help promote the entire Nashville business com­ munity and suggested that several local merchants might want to share in footing the $1,000 monthly sign rental during the tourist season. Lonny Kienutske, new owner of Sandyland Park, backed Andler’s suggestion and said he would be willing to contribute a quarter of the sign rental fee. Also at at Thursday’s meeting the Chamber discusses the success of the recent communitywide garage sale and decided to make it an annual event, setting it for the third Continued on page 5 �The Maple Valley News, Nashville, Tuesday, July 12, 1983—Page 2 By Susan Hinckley Many people in our community remember Katariina Lahdesmaki, the charming Finnish exchange student who lived last year with the Joe Andrews family and graduated in 1982 from Maple Valley High School. Recently, Joe and Marge and daughter Diane reciprocated with a visit to Katariina and family. The first three weeks of their month-long trip were spent at the Lahdesmaki home in Huissi where they enjoyed being part of the family: attending a graduation party and the local church; visiting several area farms and homes; helping with the work and going on many sightseeing excursions. The Andrews attended two performances and several rehearsals of a “River Opera”, staged on the river bank near the Lahdesmaki home. Katariina was a member of the cast which included famous opera stars and about 250 townspeople, all in costume, plus a symphony orchestra from Sweden.

They also travelled by train to Helsinki for two days of sightseeing in that city. Finland has 60,000 lakes and beautiful birch and pine forests. Roads are excellent and there are many good bicycle paths as that is a popular form of transportation there. There is very little darkness in Finland during the summer months^ The last week, the Andrews flew to Germany to visit their niece, Laurie Oster, and family at West Berlin. Her husband, Bill, got time off from his duty with the U.S. Army and showed them all around the city. On the last Sunday, the Andrews flew back to Hamburg to spend the day with Katariina, her brother Elias and his family. He works for the Finnish Em­ bassy there. Katariina will be staying in Hamburg five weeks to work and study German. On Sunday evening, the Andrews flew back to Helsinki for the trip back to the USA on Monday. The Andrews enjoyed every minute of the trip and found Finland to be a very beautiful and modern country and feel they have become “part Finnish”.

So often we hear parents express discontent with coaches for not letting their less experienced children play and putting the em­ phasis on winning and only winning. My experience was just the opposite and a good one. The team I had the privilege of following was coached by Dennis Walker. Dennis does his best to see that all his players get equal time on the field and on the bench. He does not pick out the better players just for the purpose of winning the game. Above all, I feel Dennis expresses to his players the importance of sportsmanship. or Winning losing graciously cannot be done without proper teaching of sportsmanly conduct during young years. As a parent, I want Dennis to know that I appreciate the time and patience he has taken with the Peewee League and the experience he has allowed these young people to receive under his guidance.

During their set, they combined their own songs such as their current single “A Taste of the Wind” with medleys of popular songs. Although their own songs more than held their own, the Younger’s choice of songs they used during three medleys became the highlight of their concert. The first medley was as James stated, “Golden Oldie Country Songs” such as “My Pretty Fraulein”, “Honky Tonk Angels” and “Hear­ taches By The Number.” Their other two medlies contained gospel songs and songs from the fifties. The former grouping featured songs like “I’ll Fly Away” and “Brush Arbor Meeting” and the later medley brought back memories with hits like “The Great Pretender”, “Come And Go With Me”, and “Bye Bye Love” Charly McClain proved to be up to the task of following the strong show by the Youngers. She gave the good crowd of country fams what they came to hear, all of her big hit songs. She sang her popular tunes “Sleeping with the Radio On”, “With You”, “Dancing* Your Memory Away”, “Who’s Cheating Who” and her current single “Fly Into Love”. Charly also made an extra effort to sing requests from the audience. The most requested song that afternoon was a song about Miss McClain and her parents, “Surround Me With Love”. The standing ovation at the end of her set brought to an end a beautiful day weather and music wise.

Pastors Paul Boger and Daniel Smith and their wives of the Ver­ montville Bible Church in Vermontville, Mich, were among the over 575 delegates in attendance. The theme of the IFCA National Convention was “Take heed to thyself,” based on 1 Timothy 4:16. The keynote address was delivered on the opening night by the president, Rev. Calvin Probasco, who is pastor of Carmichael Bible Church, near Sacramento, Calif. He emphasized that what we are is as important as what wedo. He also stated that the minister must be an example to his local church. Dr. Harold Freeman, national executive director, delivered the message on the second night and said that the IFCA doctrinal statement remains the same today as it was in 1930 when the IFCA was formed. He said that one of the best ways to know where an organization stands is to look at its leaders and that our image depends upon our conduct. He also warned that unity cannot be purchased at the price of compromise. Dr. Lester DeBoer of Kalamazoo, Mich, was the Morning Bible Hour teacher and preached on the book of 1 Thessalonians. The Evening Bible speaker was Rev. Ivan French of Warsaw, Ind. He spoke on the ministry of prayer, used the prayer life of Christ and emphasized the necessity for effective prayer in the life of the servant of the Lord. The growing edge of the IFCA, the Church Extension Council, met in nearby Hudsonville, Mich., at Jenison Bible Church, for two days of workshops, seminars and sermons on various aspects of starting churches. The theme of their conference was “Into the next towns,” with the major thrust being the starting and establishing of new churches in areas where no fun­ damental church exists. One of the major goals of the IFCA is “800 new churches in the ’80s”. The various church extension agencies across America are busy helping the IFCA to reach this goal. A Youth Convention and a Junior Camp were also held during the time of the Adult Convention. Twelve quiz teams were involved in Bible quizzing and other youth competed in various areas of youth talent during the FOUND Boys bike at Maple Valley High School office entrance on Wednesday night.

July 19.1983 Vermontville girl wins national sewing honors by Susan Hinckley Amy Walker, 13, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Dennis Walker of Allegan Road, Vermontville, recently won high honors in a national sewing contest sponsored by the National Grange. A letter she received from Edward Andersen of Washington, D.C., master of the National Grange, praised Amy’s accomplishment. She took Honorable Mention in Class D, which places her fourth in the nation in her class. (A first, second, third, and one honorable mention were awarded in each.) Amy’s entry, a pioneer­ style polka dot dress of red and white polyester-cotton blend, was entered in the age 12-and-under category, since she was at that age when the dress was made. The sewing project started in October 1982 and was completed in April. It was then that Amy entered the garment in the annual 4-H Style Revue in Charlotte, taking Best of Show. Of­ ficials there suggested Amy enter the dress'in Grange competition. She did so, Vermontville and Gresham churches have new Methodist minister by Susan Hinckley Seminary at Evanston, Ill., Rev.

Fifteen years later it was moved into Ver­ montville and situated on its present site on the northeast corner of the village square. That move in 1877 which cost $800 (half the original price of the building) was made amidst controversy between town and country members of the congregation, but the majority ruled. In 1889, a south wing was added to the main sanctuary. In 1977, the Vermontville United Methodist Church celebrated a Centennial marking the relocation event. The Gresham Church observed its centennial in 1980. The Vermontville congregation presently numbers 85 members and the Gresham church, has 45. Rev. Litchfield says both have a good percentage of turnout for Sunday services. At Vermontville United Methodist worship starts at 11 a.m. Sunday school for children commences mid­ way through that service. At Gresham, worship begins at 9:30 a.m. and is followed by a fellowship period. Rev. Glenn C. Litchfield is the new minister at the United Methodist Churches at Vermontville and Gresham. The two-point charge is Litchfield s first assignment since his graduation in May from theological seminary at Evanston, Illinois. (Maple Valley News photo by Susan Hinckley) competing first at county level and then state — taking first place in Michigan. For that contest, Amy modeled the dress at a show in Hudson on May 7. After taking top honors there, the garment was sent to New York for national judging, where it earned the recent award. In a call from a Grange official, Amy was told that since there is only one honorable mention (in each category) her win was comparble to placing fourth in the country. An eighth grader at Maple Valley next fall, Amy has been sewing in 4-H for three years and has been a previous winner in the an­ nual Eaton County Style Revue. At school, she is a junior high cheerleader and plays basketball. Amy is no stranger to winning — last February she received top honors in a seventh grade oration contest for her original speech on Benjamin Franklin. Amy’s winning dress will be on exhibit at the up­ coming Eaton County Fair, July 24-30, in Charlotte and will be entered there in the annual 4-H sewing com­ petition. Amy Walker of Vermontville models the red-andwhite polka dot dress which recently earned national honors for her in a Grange-sponsored contest. Ossenheimer elected M.V. Board president; set meetings on Wednesdays Dale Ossenheimer, Jr. has been elected president of the Maple Valley Board of Education. Serving with him are David Hawkins, vice president; Merle Martin, secretary; and Ronald Tobias, treasurer. Trustees on the board include Paula Cole, Irma Gene Baker and Wayne Cogswell. The following is a listing of the telephone numbers for the board members: Dale Ossenheimer, Jr., 852-1674; David Hawkins, 852-0749; Merle Martin, 566-8526; Ronald Tobias, 852-9476; Wayne Cogswell, 852-9745; Irma Gene Baker, 726-0050; and Paula Cole, 543-5669. The board voted to hold the regular monthly board meetings in the ad­ ministration building on the second Wednesday of each month with the meetings beginning at 7 p.m. and adjourning not later than 11:30 p.m. In other business at its July 11 organizational meeting, the board members approved 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. General fund bills in the amount of $49,513.84 were approved for payment. The June 17 payroll for Title I in the amount of $5,241.50; June 24 payroll in the amount of $20,420.79; June 30 Title I payroll in the amount of $5,398.50, and the July 8 payroll in the amount of $12,839.46 were approved for payment and transfer to the payroll account. The board members voted to invest $14,680 from the new debt retirement account with Comerica Bank for three months. Mrs. James Bryan represented the athletic boosters and presented board president Ossenheimer with a check in the amount of $2,708.76 to coVer the cost of the spring sports season as billed to the athletic boosters. Superintendent Carroll Wolff reported that the Dept, of Education has notified school districts that the balance of the June state aid payment will be paid on July 19 and August 22. The state aid payment due August 1 will be received Sept. 19. This delay in receiving the August state aid payment on time will make it~impossible for the school district to meet the Sept. 2 payroll without borrowing or receiving an advance on state aid. General consensus was that the school district should ask the state department for an advance on state aid instead of borrowing to meet the Sept. 2 payroll. A letter of resignation was accepted from Jerry Reese as girls’ varsity basketball coach. The board approved holding the truth in taxation hearing at the next regular meeting on Wednesday, Aug. 10.

At this writing, she was expected to return home Monday from Pennock Hospital. Former local residents Cecil and Juanita Barrett of Lakeland, Fla. arrived in Nashville Friday for a summer visit. They plan to stay about a month and are residing temporarily in the former Theressa Hess residence on Sherman Street. The Carl Tobias family of Nashville is hosting two sisters from Switzerland this week. The girls, Caroline and Cornelia Ott, arrived Friday evening at Lansing’s Capitol City Airport. They are in Michigan for a twoweek session in August at Blue Lake International Music Camp. The Tobias’ son, Carmen, also will be attending the camp. Next week the Ott sisters will be guests of a Lansing family prior to leaving for Blue Lake. The home of Raymond and Marilyn (Bell) Roush of Assyria Road made a lovely setting for the 20-year reunion of Nashville’s Class of 1963, held Saturday evening, July 9. Classmates, spouses and guests enjoyed a lovely potluck dinner. The appearance of 17 of the 31 graduates of the class made it a very special occasion. In 1950, the class consisted of 57 kindergarteners but over the years classmates moved away, reducing the total to 31 at graduation time. Due to the small number of graduates, organizers of the reunions have always tried to include those students who once were part of the class but left for various reasons. Class members were pleased to see Dale Ann (Priddy) Morawski of Nashville at Saturday’s reunion. She was a former classmate but moved to Florida and graduated there in 1963 from Melbourne High School. Those of the Class of 1963 attending the reunion were Lois (Hickey) Barton, Joyce (Woudstra) Gardner, Roger Tobias, Kay (Jarrard) Snowden, Marilyn (Bell) Roush, and Larry and Judy (Strong) Hook, all local; Carl Cabral, Judy (Corkins) Jenkins, and Nancy (Shaw) Schantz, all of Hastings; Ron Chaffee of Freeport; Jane (Randall) Grier of Bangor; Lee Roberts of Gravdville; Joyce (Newland) Newton of Marshall; Ron Price of Kentwood; Barbara (Jones) Moulton of Atlanta, Mich.; and Ted Teadt of Garden Grove, Calif. Plans now are underway for a 25th reunion to be held in 1988. Mrs. Gunda Pennock of Nashville returned home Monday from a six-weeks trip to Norway to see relatives and friends. Among the places she visited was her hometown of Grimstad. Mrs. Max Purchis and sons, Bryan and Erick, of Hanover, Ill., are visitors of her in-laws, Mr. and Mrs. Maurice Purchis of Nash; ville. A Sunday through Wednesday guest last week at the Purchis home was Mrs. Josephine Donnelly of East Lansing. Former local resident Dione Antes, daughter of William and Artha Shaw of Nashville, remains hospitalized at Blodgett in Grand Rapids, where she has been confined in traction since sustaining injuries to her legs and pelvis in a May 15 auto crash near that city. Her husband, Bryon, also was injured in that accident in which their car was hit head-on by another which crossed the centerline. After surgery, Bryon was released from the hospital and now can get about with the aid of crutches, but still faces an additional operation on his knee. Dione expects to be taken out of traction by the end of this week, then will be put into special braces and undergo therapy to learn to walk again. It is hoped she will be released from the hospital within a. month, at which time she and Bryon plan to come to Nashville to stay with the Shaws while they recuperate. Neither will be able to return to work for a year, doctors have told them. Prior to the accident, Dione was a registered nurse employed in the Burn Unit in the hospital where she is now a patient. She would enjoy hearing from her local friends. The address is Room 21, 3rd Floor, Blodgett Hospital, 1840 Wealthy SW, Grand Rapids, 49506. Mrs. Owen Hynes of Nash­ ville, who was hospitalized at Pennock last week, has now returned home. “Thanks a million for the news contained in your column headed ‘Memories of the Past’,” wrote Dale G. Lapham of Walterboro, S.C., in a letter to us last week. He expressed special ap­ preciation for the June 28 article on early school days in Maple Grove Township. “I was especially interested in the part dealing with the Lapham family,” he wrote. “I am a direct descendant of Eli Lapham, the first white settler of Maple Grove territory. He was my great grandfather; his son Leander was my grand­ father.” Leander had three sons, one of whom (also named Leander) became the father of Dale. He was commonly known as “Lee” and was a Maple Grove farmer for most of his life. The other two sons were Ray and Roy. The former was a CPA in Chicago most of his adult life and the latter was a rural mail carrier out of President Reagan’s hometown, Dixon, Ill. “My great - grandfather, grandfather and father are all interred in the Wilcox cemetery,” wrote Lapham. Eli is remembered in a Michigan Historical Society, plaque at the old Quaker cemetery located east of Guy Road, just south of Cloverdale Road, in Maple Grove Township.

Death was at­ tributed to a heart attack, and was totally unexpected as he had not been ill. The Sitzmans have resided in Las Vegas since he retired three years ago after serving 26 years in the United States Air Force. At the time of his death, which occurred at work, Sitzman was em­ ployed by a Las Vegas police agency. Services were to be held there Saturday for Sitzman, who was a native of Lansing. In addition to his wife, he is survived by three children: Mrs. Robert (Vicki) Taylor of Wooster, Ohio; Mrs. Michael (Debra) Engle of Georgia; and Cheryl Kay, at home; one granddaughter and one stepgranddaughter. The Sitzmans celebrated their 26th wedding anniversary in June, during winch time they and the Harry Beards were on a trip through the southern states. The Sitzmans came to Nashville to pick up the Beards for the 10­ day journey which started on June 3.

Nashville, Tuesday. July 19,1983 — Page 4 Literary group is Nashville's oldest active organization organization in the village today. The WLC is an offshoot of the old Bay View Reading Club in which both men and women were involved. In A wellspring of cultural fact, early news accounts of appreciation that flourished the Bay View indicate that throughout the USA during more men than women the “Gay Nineties” was the participated in the club’s foundation for Nashville’s cultural programs. By 1902, Woman’s Literary Club, the however, the ladies ap­ oldest continuously active parently had taken the upper hand. “There will be a meeting January 6 at the home of Mrs. Henry Roe for the purpose of organizing a Woman’s Literary club,” advised the Nashville News on Jan. 3,1902. “This club is intended for thorough study, and all joining will be ex­ pected to become active members and do their share of the work. The Bay View magazine will be used as an outline for the course of study. All interested are requested to be present.” The Bay View course was adopted by the ladies again in October 1903 when the WLC was reorganized. During the following year, the women studied the life, customs, superstitions and literature of a number of countries including Ger­ many, Belgium, Denmark and Poland. In January 1905, the club met at the home of Mrs. Lillie Vance and Maude Julia Marshall for a Russian Wotring appear to be at­ program. tired as Martha and George “The members enjoyed a Washington in the circa review of several books on 1930s photo.

It was the May 1905 Guest Night at which club members en­ tertained their husbands. “As guests arrived, they were greeted at the door by a maid in Japanese costume and conducted into the home where the setting was predominantly Japanese,” reported the News. “A number of the ladies also wore Japanese costumes, carrying out the theme of the program,-which climaxed a study of the Japanese people and their culture through recent months. Even the menu was Japanese, and the tables were decorated in Japanese style.” The ladies continued to met regularly for fellowship and enlightenment, and by 1907 had published the first WLC yearbook outlining plans for the upcoming season. Meeting twice monthly from late Sep­ tember through early May, the women studied a variety of lessons covering history, literature, art, music, and national and domestic problems. Speeches, reading of papers prepared by members, musical offerings, and round-table discussions covered a multitude of subjects. “Not what we give, but what we share” was (and still is) the club’s motto. The agenda of the Tuesday af­ ternoon meetings provided ample opportunities for members to share knowledge with others. A leader was appointed for each program. A typical WLC agenda is seen in a December 17, 1907, meeting on “American Women”.. Mrs. Margaret Shilling had charge of the event, and roll call was answered with quotations from author Ella Wheeler Wilcox. A paper entitled “The American woman at home and in business”, was written and presented by Mrs. Daisy Townsend. Mrs. Susan Susan Beebe spoke on “The ideas of a plain country woman”;; and a paper on “What life means ”to the American woman , was prepared and read by Mrs. Daisy Lentz. Open discussion on “The birthright of the American Woman” was led by Mrs. Julia Marshall. A glimpse of WLC program agendas since 1907 reflects a chronological saga of American history as well as interest in foreign lands.. Concern for America’s problems centering on citizenship,, various legislation, education and child welfare predominated WLC studies in the early 1920s, coinciding with the women’s new-won right to vote. vote. During the Depression years of the early 1930s, WLC programs leaned toward more practical topics of social welfare, conservation, health, gardening and nutrition. Another reflection of a Conversion of the Charles and Agnes Putnam home into Putnam Public Library in 1923 is the most noted of the many civic projects engineered by the Woman’s Literary Club during the organization's long life in the community. This photo predates that conversion — a task the WLC sought and received from the Nashville village council after the Putnams bequeathed their home for a public library. It is now governed by a board appointed by village and supporting townships. On the occasion of the 50th anniversary of the Nashville Woman's Literary club, several past presidents dressed in special garb for a half-century party held at the Methodist Church Community House. The October 1950 event actually marked the founding of the Bay View Reading Club, from which the WLC evolved in 1902. In addition to the five shown, six other past presidents wqre honored at the celebration. From left are Belle Everts (she was president of the WLC at the time of the Putnam Library project); Lottie Bell; Lillie Vance; Maude Wotring; and Lillie Smith.

In February 1924, the Nashville News noted one such event — naming grade school win­ ners in a Music Memory contest arranged by the Woman’s Literary Club. In the late 1940s, the WLC sponsored an annual speech contest for local students at an evening event staged in the school auditorium. Today, the club’s interest in academic achievement is reflected in annual WLC scholarships awarded to deserving local seniors selected by a ballot of club members after candidates are screened by a com­ mittee. Each year the WLC still publishes a club yearbook for the upcoming season, just as it has done since 1907. The booklet lists active, associate and honorary members along with an itinerary of planned meetings and an “In memory” roll of deceased members. Names and agendas fill yellowing pages of early WLC yearbooks now in a special collection at Putnam Public Library, and they mirror not only the history of a club but the life of a community and nation as well — providing a precious storehouse of memories. �Nashville News continued Cadillac arrived to spend the day of shopping at Ardmore.

Meeting adjourned 7:12 P.M. Bill L. Mason, President Natalie Gaedert, Clerk Sniff. Sniff! You’ve just awakened. It’s 3 a.m.- and something smells a little strange...smoke! The house is on fire! Quick, what to do ? The fire-wise family takes steps to ensure they know what to do at a time like that. Here’s how to develop a home escape plan to get every family member out of the house if fire strikes. The first step is to buy and install a UL listed smoke detector outside the sleeping rooms and sleep with all doors closed, even the littlest child’s room. This gives you early warning of fire and minimizes smoke build-up in the sleeping rooms. Now draw a rough floor plan ofyour home. Decide on two ways out of every room— a fire in the hallway could preclude excape through the bedroom doors. From some second floor bedrooms it may be possible to climb from the window to a garage or porch roof, from which to jump to the ground; other bedroom windows look out on a stark two-story drop. Check this out and buy escape ladders for the windows that require them. These folding metal ladders are generally attached to the floor under the window wo they can be thrown out and dropped down when needed. Make sure everyone whose room is .equipped with a ladder practices dcelpimlobyiinngg the ladder and climbing down it.. Now you’ve equipped every room with two ways out. The next step is teaching family members which exit to use. When the smoke detector sounds, each family member should roll out of bed and crawl to the bedroom door. If smoke is heavy, the best air will be near the floor. Feel the door. Ifit’s warn or hot, don’t open it! The fire is outside. Use the escape ladder or other windwo escape route. If the door is cool, family members must know to “stay low and go,” crawling all the way outside. Each family member must know an agreed upon meeting place-a streetlight, the neighbor’s driveway, a big tree-so that everyone can quickly be accounted for. Call the fire department from a neighbor’s phone, or drive to a public telephone, after everyone is out. Don’t go back in the house for anything. Nothing you own is worth your life. The keys of home escape planning are: (1) provide two ways out of each room; (2) escape through window if door feels warm; (3) stay low in smoke; (4) meet and regroup at an arranged spot; and (5) call the fire department from outside the house after everyone is out. There’s just one more key: practice. Hold home exit drillss often and unpredictably. Make sure every family member who may have to clamber down the roof or use a ladder practices the technique until they’re comfortable doing it. Home exit drills...they could save your life.

Allen Krizek, Eaton County Extension Director, says horne gardeners should be on the look out for cabbage loopers and imported cabbage worms, aphids and thrips. Cabbage loopers are the larvae of small, brown moths that migrate into Michigan in mid-July. The moths lay eggs on cabbage plants. Larvae are light green caterpillars with a white stripe along each side. They feed on the leaves and other plant tissues, reducing quality and contaminating heads with droppings. Larvae grow rapidly and become increasingly difficult to control with chemicals. They’re called loopers because they move about with an inchworm motion.

Vermontville news by Ava Kroger The abused child will grow up someday. Maybe. Each year, over one million American children suffer from child abuse. Over 2,000 children die from it. But what about those who survive? Statistics show that an abused childhood can affect a person’s entire life. Many teenage drug addicts and teenage prostitutes report being abused children. So do juvenile delinquents and adult criminals. Yet we now know that child abuse can be prevented. The National Committee for Prevention of Child Abuse is a private, charitable organization that knows how to prevent child abuse. But we need your help to do it. We need money. We need volunteers.

Vol. 112 - No. 5 - Tuesday, July 26. 1983 Peanut Butter and friendliness will be memories for Finnish girls by Susan Hinckley The friendliness of Americans, our fast-paced way of life, and the taste of peanut butter will be among the impressions a couple of young Finnish ladies will recall of their six-weeks stay in the USA as guests of two Vermontville families. Peanut butter is a novelty and a delicacy to Annemari Koivula, 18, who is staying with Bill and Sharon Mason and daughters, and to Virpi Kuparinen, 17, a guest of Don and Esther Martin. The two girls are in this country under a summer program sponsored by Lions Club International which gives youths a taste of life in foreign countries through exchanges arranged by the organization. The Ver­ montville visitors came to America on a flight carrying 310 Finnish youngsters, 83 of whom were to stay with Michigan families. Some expenses of the trip are paid by Lions clubs but the young people bear most of the travel costs. Host families provide food and lodging and expenses of any sightseeing expeditions. “This is a wonderful country,” said Annemari, who hails from Rovaniemi, a town of 30,000 at the edge of the Arctic Circle. Her father is a veterinarian and her mother, a nurse. The family includes a younger sister, age 13, and “a dog and a bird,” adds Annemari. She points out that America has fast foods and a fast-moving society. “You use cars very much,” says Annemari. “In Europe we use much more trains, busses and bikes.” She then notes, “You have wonderful roads.” In Finland, a driver’s license costs the equivalent of over $700 but is good for a lifetime. The one which Annemari possesses shows that it is valid until the year 2035. About American frien­ dliness, Annemari explains that in Finland people are “more shy.” “When I (go for a) walk here people say ‘Hi’ even though they don’t know me,” added Annemari. “I like it very much.” Virpi, who is staying with the Martins, parents of three grown children all of whom are married, echoes those sentiments about American friendliness. “This is a positive kind of experience,” said Virpi of her visit to the USA, and added that she is having a “wonderful time” with the Martins and has gained weight due to Esther’s good cooking. Virpi’s father is employed in the field of electronics and her mother is a bank teller. She has a younger brother and older sister. Among the places the Martins have taken Virpi are Country rock show set for Sunday at Charlton Park Twangy guitars, fast fiddles, and plunking banjos will be part of the musical sounds Sunday, Aug. 7 during the Thornapple Music Festival at Historic Charlton Park near Hastings. The event, set for 12:30­ 5:30 p.m., will deliver a variety of music, ranging from traditional bluegrass to rock and roll with an em­ phasis on country rock. Visitors will hear country rock performances by the Dirk Rivers Band, Hor­ sefeather, both of Grand Rapids; and Four Wheel Drive of Kalamazoo. A Madison, Wisconsin band called Stone Oak will present bluegrass, western swing and “newgrass” which is a blend of jazz, old time, country-western, and rock and roll. Music festivals have been part of Charlton Park’s special events since 1975. Proceeds from the events are earmarked to help finance operations fo the park which is administered by the Barry County Parks and Recreation Commission. The park’s rural setting includes a museum and a living history village of restored buildings from the 1850-1900 era. A beach, boat ramp, playgrounds, picnic areas and nature trails comprise some of the park’s recreational offerings. The music festival will be staged outdoors in the center of the historical village. Visitors may bring lawn chairs or blankets to sit on during the show. A beer tent will be open for the first time at the music fest. Other refreshments also will be served. Admission to the music festival is $5 for adults and 50 cents for children under 12. Preschoolers are free. No pets are allowed in the festival area. Charlton Park, five miles* east of Hastings, is located off M-79. For additional information, call (616) 945­ 3775. Deer Park Funland near Muskegon; Lake Michigan; Mackinaw City and Mackinac Island; and Sault Ste. Marie. She lives in Oulu, a city of 100,000 situated on the Gulf of Bothnic, about 120 miles south of Annemari’s hometown. Both girls have learned to water ski during their stay in Michigan. Other new ex­ periences for them have been eating chile and having corn on the cob — it is never served that style in their country. For Annemari another new adventure was attending a pig roast, something she had never witnessed. She attended such an event with the Masons on the TittabawassCe River. They also have taken her to Cedar Point amusement Continued on page 3 The friendliness of Americans impresses two young ladies from Finland who are staying in Vermontville under a summer exchange program sponsored by Lions Club International.

Over 3,500 hear Jerry Reed at Sandyland by Steve Reid Those attending Sandyland Park Sunday not only had a chance to hear two concerts by country music star-actor Jerry Reed, they also became a part of history. Over 3,500 people, the largest crowd since the park began in 1978, came out to enjoy the beautiful July weather, and the talents of Reed. Jerry, although he received Word prior to the concert that his wife had just entered a Tennessee hospital for surgery, came out and played his hits for his ap­ preciative crowd, whose only complaint was the shortest of his two sets. But while he was out there he sang the songs they wanted to hear. “Amos Moses”, “Promises”, “She Got the Gold Mine (I Got the Shaft)”, “When Your’re Hot changes since its ap­ You’re Hot”, and “The pearance at Sandyland in Bird”. All brought an en- May. The most significant thuastic response from the change is the adding of near capacity crowd. singer Michelle Spitz, a One favorite of the crowd was Jerry’s rendition of his song “I’m a Slave” which is off his latestalbum. Reed stated that it was a song that deals with “all “all the weaknesses” such as gambling, women chasing, and smoking. Jerry himself admitted, “I’ve had a smoking problem since Hilter was a corporal.’. Doing a fine job of backing up Reed was his band, Thompson Station Congregation, with each of its six members having a chance to show his skills in making country and bluegrass music. Opening the show was Country Fever which has made some personnel recording artist in looks and voice similar to Linda Ronstadt. Soming next to sandy land is Juice Newton on July 31. Jerry Reed sings to fans. 3,500 Sandyland fans turned out Sunday. �The Maple Valley News, Nashville, Tuesday, July 26, 1983 — Page 2 Nashville News, The Maple Valley area and most of Barry County escaped the brunt of a Thursday night storm which raked much of western Michigan causing extensive damage and three deaths — one by drowning and two by electrocution. (One victim was a 15-year-old girl at Mulliken.) Temperatures during the day had ranged from the high 90s into the low 100s in this general area but dropped below 70 degrees during a steady nightime rain which brought about two inches of welcome moisture. In some parts of the state, the storm caused widespread power outages. At Saugatuck on Lake Michigan, a great deal of destruction was caused by uprooted trees crashing onto homes and autos. Downed power lines also caused an extensive power outage there. For the most part, phone service was not disrupted in the area. The latest contributions to Putnam Public Library’s building fund came last week from Dorothy (Hicks) McCleary in memory of Arloa Baxter; and from Dan and Audrey Watson and John and Ruth Hughes in memory of Jon Travoli.

Tuesday mornings throughout July have been busy times at Putnam Public Library in Nashville, as some 35 to 45 children gathered to play games, listen to stories, watch movies, and work on various projects at the 1983 Summer Story Hour, sponsored by the local Friends of the Library with a financial contribution from the Women’s Auxiliary of Nashville’s VFW Post 8260. The first week, the children fashioned paper plate puppets. The following Tuesday, some of the pup­ pets were used in a presentation of “The Gingerbread Man” narrated by FOL volunteer Ann Taylor. Those manipulating the puppets were Sarah Leep, Steve Hay, Katie Childs, Samantha Hughes, Holly Taylor and Kevin Childs. The third week, the children watched a movie, made butterflies, and heard Dennis Downing give an excellent recitation of the book “The Hobbit”. Films and games were on the agenda for today’s final session. FOL organizers While the experience of grief is difficult, slow and wearing, it is also enriching and fulfill­ ing. The most beautiful people we have known are those who have known defeat, known suffering, known struggle and loss, and have found their way out of the depths. They have a sensi­ tivity and an understanding of life that fills them with com­ passion, gentleness, and a deep Ipving concern. Beautiful people do not just happen.

Teen-age helpers who also gave a big assist included Katie and Becky Childs and Mike Hay. A picnic for the helpers was slated to follow today’s session. “Hike to Rainbow’s End” was the theme of the 1983 story hour, and that theme will be promoted throughout August in a Rainbow Reading Program now being organized by Friends of the Library. Children of all ages, from beginning readers on, are invited to participate. Registration is during the first week of August at Putnam Public Library. Each child signing up will be given a rainbow record form which will be kept at the library. As soon as a book is completed by the reader, its title will be recorded by one of the librarians on the child’s log. After ten books are finished, the rainbow will be complete on the form and the child’s photo will be taken for a special FOL display. Those reading more than ten books will receive extra special recognition. The books must be read and recorded at the library between August 1 and August 31.

President John Hughes quickly restored order and appointed a committee to meet with Forbes to iron out the problem At issue was the recent removal of the firm’s Nash­ ville business office at 230 North Main Street. Frith accused Forbes, who took over management of the company last month, of “yanking” out the office without notifying the council. Maintenance of a business office in Nashville is part of the contractual terms bet­ ween Charter and the village in a consent agreement negotiated in 1982. That contract also calls for a 2­ year moratorium on service rates. Forbes said that the office was “an extravagance” and if maintenance of it is required by the village his company “probably will be back in a short time asking for a rate increase.” “That’s bunk!” declared Frith. “You say you have to decide between (maintaining) an office and (providing) good service.

Both girls have toured the main plant of Oldsmobile in Lansing and plan to visit the state capitol building there and also Kellogg’s of Battle Creek. The Martins plan to take Virpi to Niagara Falls and Greenfield Village before her departure. Bill Mason said his family hopes to take Annemari across the border into Canada for a brief visit before the girls board a plane August 9 at Metro Airport near Detroit. Mason, who is president of the Vermontville Lions Club as well as president of the village, said the exchange program is a “very good one.” “It’s been very en­ joyable,” said Mason of the visit of the Finnish youths. “But six weeks is just not long enough to show them all there is to see even in Michigan.” The Martins had a first­ hand appreciation of the exchange program prior to the arrival of their recent guest. In 1972, their daughter, now Lois Ham­ monds of Vermontville, visited Lappeenranta, near the Finnish-Russian border, under the Lions In­ ternational Youth Exchange program. This summer no local youths are participating in the exchange program, said Mason. making those promises were no longer with the company,, but several Nashville of­ ficials countered that the change of management did not negate' the contractual terms of the firm’s agreement with the village. President Hughes also noted that another big “selling point” which prompted the village to chose Charter (Spectrum) over the other competitors was the firm’s promised twoyear moratorium on rates. Forbes said the company needs to get the subscriber level up. “We are not at the break-even level by any means,” he added. The company presently serves about 200 homes, roughly one-third of the potential market in the village. Forbes agreed that the firm was getting “far too many complaints” from patrons and said he has been in Nashville about six days in the past month trying to work out various problems. Village Clerk Susan Cork­ well said she often receives cable business calls at the village hall and has to refer the callers to the Middleville office. “The people enjoy the service they’re getting and that’s the main thing,” said Trustee Linda Frith. “But you must work out something with the council (about office main­ tenance),” she told Forbes. To that end, President Hughes appointed Mrs. Frith to head a committee com- prised of trustees George Frith and Richard Chaffee to meet with Forbes to attempt to reach a decision about the situation. Hughes asked Forbes to put into writing his present and future intentions regarding maintenance of a Nashville office. Hughes said that “par­ ticular discrepancy” is the only problem he could see in the consent agreement at the present time.

July 26. 1983 — Page 4 The Thornapple, a river for all seasons (Author’s Note: Portions of the following account first appeared as a Memories of the Past published August 8, 1979.) As it flows through Nash­ ville, the Thomapple has truly been a river for all seasons. Trappers, fisher­ men, millers, icemen, boaters, swimmers, skaters, and even "sinners” made early use of its waters — tracing a course of history as colorful as the meandering stream. Winter activities on the river were recorded by the Nashville News less than three months after its initial publication in 1873. “Jesse Austin set a trap on the banks of the millpond and was rewarded by cat­ ching a nice large black otter, a scarce animal in this locality,” editor-publisher Omo Strong told his readers in December. Other early winter ac­ tivities on the river are reflected in a December 1880 report: “The Thornapple River is solidly frozen over, and is an exceedingly busy place, patronized by small boys with skates attached to their their feet feet and and older characters with fishing tackle.” The writer also noted that “some very fine large pike have been pulled through the ice.” An important winter harvest on the river was ice which was cut and stored in sawdust-filled sheds for use in sweltering summer days ahead. Springtime, the river became a magnet — drawing droves of sportsmen to its banks. “The dip net fishermen below the dam have been reaping a rich harvest the pastseveral days,” observed the News in April 1908. “Saturday, suckers were taken out by the basketfuls and nearly everyone who visited the dam carried home a string of fish.” Come summer, river activity really flourished with fishermen trolling for pickerel and turtle-trappers hauling in the seasonal harvest. In 1906, there was a temporary slack in the crop, according to this August report in the News: “Last year a great many turtles were shipped from his place, while this year very few have been shipped. They are In the summer youths were drawn to the cooling waters of the Thornapple River. Here, a plunge into water "so clear you could see bottom" is caught by the camera in this 1920s photo while envious young admiradmir­ ers look on. Another swimmer scales the skeletal iron­ work of Nashville’s 1899 river bridge to reach the diving perch where only the bravest dared venture. A site below the dam, near the old Riverside ball park, was another favorite "swimming hole" of early Nashville youths. Beat the . Come to the Village Hair Port and get a new cut..

The turtles are shipped alive and are said to make the trip very comfortably.” The writer added this astute observation: “Reason for lack of action in this local industry is said to be lack of turtles, and one wonders if there is not also a lack of turtle soup in Pittsburg.” Adventure and commerce notwithstanding, summer also brought woes to some along the banks of the Thornapple — at least to E. D. Williams, as evidenced in this “Notice to Fishers” he published in the News in June 1898: “People coming in the river near my premises will please bring bait, lines, and poles, as my supply of fishing tackle and bait is used up, tools for digging bait lost or stolen, my time occupied filling up holes made by people digging for bait, or trying to keep my fences and yards in repair, and therefore cannot find time to wait on all, and my means are too limited to furnish free fishing tackle to the public, or to hire a hand to dig bait.” Nature as well as man occasionally played havoc on the Thomapple in the in­ tensity of summer heat. In August 1878, the news recounted one such incident' which reached the ears of village fathers. “Sam Durkee appeared before the village council Monday evening with a claim for $7.50 for collecting and disposing of dead fish floating on the millpond recently, when the hot weather killed the finny population by the hundreds for a day or so. The village fathers decided Sam per­ formed the service on his own initiative, without being properly commissioned by the municipal authorities, and therefore has no legal claim for remuneration. However, they awarded him 75 cents.” • On occasion, village fathers also became in­ volved in controlling uses of the Thornapple. One such incident may have bordered on scandalous at the time. In July 1904, village president L. E. Letnz issued the following admonition in the News: “Parties who have been making a practice of bathing at the river bridge without bathing suits are hereby warned and notified to stop this practice, otherwise the village authorities will prosecute all such violation of the or­ dinance prohibiting such practices.” Boating was another popular summer activity that drew early Nashville residents to the river, though many opted to pursue that Nashville's Thornapple River dam was kept in repair by those who profited most from the millpond it created, including local icemen, with the village also "chipping in." In the spring, dip net fishermen reaped a rich harvest along the banks below the dam. During the summer that same area was an idyllic spot for relaxing. Can you identify this trio of young ladies seen in this photo dated July 19 1921?

These four local young men of that era are appropriately dressed for the occasion of "bathing" in the river. From left in the about 1910 photo are Martin Graham, Kent Nelson, Harry Williams and Carl Lentz (a nephew of the village president). recreation on Thornapple Lake instead. Those on the lake frequently headed upstream in their craft — a practice which apparently exasperated a News writer in June 1881: “The question before the assembly today is as follows: Why is it that the majority of young folks who go boating on Thornapple Lake row up the river, where the mosquitoes, it is said, will suck the life blood out of a mortal injust 61 minutes?” If pesky insects weren’t enough to worry the reporter, by August 1903 the News was fretting over a potential health hazard lurking in the millpond. “We believe the people of Nashville within a few years will insist that the upper millpond be drained and the land dried up and reclaimed,” predicted the writer. “It is extremely fortunate that some serious epidemic has not already struck the village, and the reason, most likely, is that prevailing winds are from the south­ west and thus blow the disease germs from the stagnant water the other direction.” Eighty years later the millpond remains with no dire effects despite the gloomy forecast by the News. Over the years, the dam creating the millpond has been maintained to preserve the backlog of water originally designed to power turbines at mills that were the mainstay of Nashville’s early industry. Often repair work on the dam was done by those who profited at least in someway from its existence. “The dam is being repaired and rebuilt, noted the News in November 1905, “the work and expense being shared by the ice men, cold storage men and the village, the latter chipping in $25 toward the cost?’ Perhaps the most colorful use of the tributary, however, had little to do with leisure or livelihood. “Sunday saw another crowd of people baptized in the river,” observed the News in July 1878. “Let the good work continue and soon there will not be a sinner left in Nashville.” Boating and fishing were popular summer pastimes on the millpond above the dam. Behind this placid scene, circa 1920s, rises the smokestack of the 1891 Waterworks building (now Community Center) just north of the river at the edge of Putnam Park.

Nashville. Tuesday, July 26,1983 — Poge 10 School District benefits from Youth Corp, workers by Susan Hinckley The Maple Valley School District is reaping benefits from Governor James Blanchard’s recent effort to help cure Michigan’s unemployment woes by putting its youth to work. Nine young people, age 18­ 21, hired under the Michigan Youth Corp, program, commenced work last week Monday in the local school district. They will work for ten weeks and be paid minimum wage by the state. Six were hired through the state Department of Natural Resources and are working under an adult supervisor also employed under the program. The other three youths were placed through the state’s Department of Education. Those working in the DNR program are Brenda Lieb and Chris Cornwell, both of Nashville; Kris Fuller, Tim Rugg and Mike Richards, all of Vermontville; and Martin Beckwith of Sunfield. Supervisor is Lee Brown of Nashville. The three young people hired through the Depart­ ment of Education are Carleen Samann of Ver­ montville, who is working in the school office; Tim Gearhart of Vermontville athletic field, cleaning fence rows surrounding the property which backs the lower elementary school in Nashville. They also have been repairing fences and restoring a cement brick retaining wall which edges curves on the field track. During their approximately three-week stint there they also will paint the bleachers and some of the outbuildings. There also is a possibility that the cinder track will be resurfaced under the Youth Corp, program. Later in the summer, the DNR crew will work at clearing trails on the 40-acre Maple Valley school forest site located off M-37, south of Hastings. That property was donated to the school system a number of years ago. Maple Valley School Principal Burr Hartenburg said he hopes that people in the community realize that the cost of these projects is ‘‘not coming directly out of school funds,” as would be the case if the tasks were done by the regular school staff. “These jobs just wouldn’t have been done (without the Youth Corp program),” said Hartenburg. “There’s no way we could pay our own staff to do them. We just don’t have those kinds of dollars. Some of the Michigan Youth Corp, workers employed under a state-funded summer program were busy clearing fence rows at Fuller Street athletic field in Nashville last week. They are, from left, Kris Fuller; Brenda Lieb, Lee Brown, supervisor; Tim Rugg, Martin Beckwith, Chris Cornwell and Mike Richards. New classes will be part of local adult ed. program at the school bus garage, the junior-senior high school, and Maplewood elementary in Vermontville. The DNR crew has been working at Fuller Street The Lakewood-Maple Valley Adult Education Program will be offering a variety of classes this fall.

The insecticides recom­ mended for control of the rootworm adults are: Carbaryl (Savit or Sevin), Imidan, M & M (a mixture of malathion and methoxychlor), Di-Syston, Malathion, Parathion, Methyl parathion, PenncapM. A count of adults in a field for one year can be used to estimate the risk of the corn rootworm damage in that field the next year. Growers are strongly urged to make this count whenever they plan to follow corn with corn. This will warn them of a rootworm problem or assure them that no control will be needed the next year.

Americans eating a varied diet generally get more than enough sodium to make up for even extraordinary losses. Taking additional salt without abundant water can be very hazardous and cause dehydration. The danger is greatest when a person takes salt in highly concentrated forms-salt tablets, for in­ stance. Body fluids lost during hot weather, however, do need to be replaced so the body can regulate its temperature. The best fluid replacement is water-from drinking water and water in food and other beverages.

Fire Wise Driving fire-wise Brought to you in co-operation The Maple Volley News and Vermontville Fire Deportment- Ah, summer, The open road beckons, inviting you to vistas, unseen, sights unknown, experiences delicious and unexpected. One of the unexpected experiences you’ll want to avoid is the sight of your four-wheeled steed going up in smoke; so here are some tips for keeping your car fire-safe this summer. Do you have an emergency kit in your car? The kit should include: a dry’chemical fire ex­ tinguisher, five pounds or larger, rated ABC (not just BC); a flashlight with fresh batteries; highway flares or standup reflective hazard marker; an approved first aid kit and, if you like, a floodlight that plugs into your cigarette lighter. This kit will prepare you to deal with many common road emergencies. Another wise addition is an approved, red safety can for gasoline-empty. If you run out of gas, you’ll be able to get some; more and more service stations will not loan gas cans to stranded motorists. But let me emphasize, keep that can empty! There is no safe way to store gasoline in your trunk or anywhere in your car except the gas tank. Even the best “safety can” is designed only to minimize the risk of spontaneous igition while stored-not to deliver the collision resistance of your auto’s gas tank. Visualize carrying 14 sticks of dynamite in your trunk. That’s the amount of energy stored in one gallon of gasoline. Energy that can turn you car, and everyone in it, into a fireball if your auto is struck from behind while a gallon of gas is in the trunk. Don’t do it! A few other safety tips. Remember that liquid gasoline merely burns...the vapor that the liquid gives off is explosive. That means no smoking at filling stations-a rule that applies to passengers as well as to pump operators since Olivet School reunion Olivet School Reunion Potluck will be held Sunday, July 31,1 p.m., at the middle school. Please bring a large ds too pass. Rolls and dish beverage furnished. gasoline fumes can travel a long distance at ignitable levels. It also means that it’s a good idea to keep your gas tank filled by “topping off’’ regularly. As the tank emp­ ties, the space no longer occupied by flammable gasoline is filled by explosive vapor. You can be in less danger in a rear-end collision with a tank full of gas than with a very low tank and a generous supply of these volatile fumes. Finally, a piece of general safety advice for the world we live in. If your car breaks down in an area you do not know, do not attempt to walk off in search of aid. Raise the hood or tie a handkerchief to the outside of the car. When another motorist stops by, roll down your window a trifle and ask the motorist to call police from the next phone he see. Don’t get out of your car or accept help from persons you do not know. Of course, if your car is on fire that advice about staying in the car can be disregarded. But seriously...driving firewisely can not only save you or someone you love in time of emergency, it gives you the good feeling of being prepared.

July 26, 1983 — Page 15 Nashville couple receives "heavenly present by Susan Hinckley Puff the Magic Dragon, a multi-colored hot air balloon, carried Betty and Bernard Garvey, Jr., of S. Clark Road, Nashville, on a heavenly ride Sunday evening. Lift-off shortly after 7:30 p.m. from a field at Maple Valley Jr.-Sr. High School drew a crowd of friends and relatives to give the couple a happy send-off. The ride was a gift from the Garvey’s daughter and son­ in-law, Nancy and Richard Byrd of Nashville. It was a Father’s Day, birthday and Mother’s Day present all rolled up into one for Bernard, a former private pilot who no longer flies because of health problems, and for Betty, who claims that in the past she has always said, “You’d never get me up in one of those things (hot air balloon)!” However, since the Byrds announced the gift earlier this year, Betty has been eagerly looking forward to the trip.

August 2. 1963 65 ladies attend Sunshine Party in Vermontville on Friday The intense July heat did little to deter a large crowd from attending the annual Sunshine Party last Friday afternoon in the Griswold Hoorn of the Frist Congregational Church in Vermontville. About 65 ladies were present to continue a tradition started in 1938 to honor those ladies 75 years and older who have con­ tributed so much to the good life of the community. After some time was spent in visiting, a brief program was presented. The program was planned to be brief, for this occasion derives much of its charm through the opportunity it provides for guests to greet friends they seldom see. The singing of “What a Friend We Have in Jesus” opened the program which was introduced by Mrs. Mabel Booher. Words of welcome were extended by both Martha Zemke, president of the Ladies Christian Association of the Congregational Church, and Mary Fisher, representing the Women’s Fellowship of the Methodist Church. Mrs. Helen Boger, one of the guests, led the group in devotions. In giving the necrology, Mrs. Edith Benedict reported the passing of 12 ladies who had given of their services to the community. The special entertainment of the afternoon was provided by the Good News Trio from the Vermontville Bible Church Members comprising the trio were Claudette Hamilton, Jody DeGroot, and Carol Horn. Their accompanist was Diane Dennis. The program concluded with the singing of ‘I Love to Tell the Story”, with Frances MacDonald accompanying at the piano. Local gardens provided Continued on page 3— The oldest ladies attending the Sunshine Party in Vermontville last week were: (from left) Ester Satterlee, 89; Pearl Hayworth, 92; Genevie Woodard, 98; Irene Hadden, 89; and Ethol Figg 90. plenty of eating, drinking and honors.

Juice Newton 'wows them at Sandyland By Steve Reid Nashville signs declare friendliness — New highway signs declaring Nashville "The Friendly Village" were installed last Tuesday at three major points of entry to the village. The project was spear­ headed and financed by the local Chamber of Com­ merce, headed by Judy Quantrell, at right. With her is Helen Curtis, treasurer of the organization. The slogan was adapted from one written last March by 12-year-old Melissa Gieseler in a students' slogan-writing contest sponsored by the chamber The signs were secured through Michigan's Dept, of Transportation and cost the chamber approximately $385. Overcast Sunnday morning skies probably kept Juice Newton from coming very close to breaking Jerry R6ed’s attendance record set last week but it didn’t hamper her from per­ forming one of the finest shows Sandyland Park has ever presented. A bundle of energy with a fine back-up band to match, Juice mixed her popular hits with a couple of new songs, one of which should result in another top 10 hit for her in the near future. That new song, “Tell Her No,” which Juice said “would be on the radio soon” appears to be a sure hit if the audience’s reaction here Sunday was any indication. The first notes of each of her past hits, brought instant recognition from her ap­ preciative fans. She did them all: “Heart of the Night,” “Love’s Been a Little Bit Hard on Me,” Angel of The Morning “Break it to me Gently,” Queen of Hearts,” and “The Sweetest Thing” written by band member Continued on page 3— Juice Newton provided one of the best shows ever presented at Sandyland. �The Maple Valley News. Nashville Tuesday. August 2. 1983 Page 2 Nashville News Shades of days past when Nashville’s Central Park was a cool and restful haven for shoppers are just around the comer! Within a couple weeks the new Chamberfinanced fountain is ex­ pected to be installed in the wading pool (more recently used as a flower bed) which once was home to a cherubic staute fondly remembered by local oldtimers. After standing many years with water cascading from the mouth of a fish it held aloft, the cherub disappeared one Halloween night some 40 years ago and its whereabouts remains a mystery. The cherub had been given to the village by Michigan Central when the railroad discontinued maintenance of a small park near the depot in the early part of this century. Now, a seven and one-half foot cement statue secured from a Comstock firm will be in­ stalled by the village Dept, of Public Works crew. The Chamber of Commerce paid $445 for the fountain and a pump with capacity of propelling water up to 13 feet in the air. Water will cascade from the head of a Four Seasons Girl which tops several lower tiers on the new structure. Plans are to paint the fountain bronze Dedication is slated for Friday evening, Sept. 16, during Nashville’s 1983 Harvest Festival. To finance the fountain project the Chamber is conducting a 50­ 50 raffle with a minimum of $500 each guaranteed to the lucky holder of the winning ticket which will be drawn during the festival. If ticket sales go as well as Chamber officials hope, the winner could walk away with as much as $1,000. The organization hopes to sell 1,000 chances for a $2 donation each. Check your attic, garage and closets for saleable items you can donate for a rummage sale to be held Friday and Saturday, Aug. 5­ 6, at the United Methodist Community House. Proceeds are earmarked for relief of world hunger. Edna Smith of Nashville has charge of the event. If you have goods to donate for the sale, please contact her.

Meade of Franklin in a letter to us last week. “Most of the men and ladies had such determined expressions on their faces. Seldom did they smile. They remind one of the line of a stanza from some poem I once learned in school, ‘Life is real, life is earnest.’ Maybe we would be better off if more of us were more serious about what is transpiring in the country and the world. Those people in the photos left us a won­ derful heritage.” Also received from Kenneth Meade last week was an old copy of Henry Pattengill’s School Knap­ sack for placement in the local history collection at Putnam Public Library. The' compact songbook contains 141 pages of lyrics for “morning exercises and schoolroom,” and was used by both Meade and his sister Mabel when they attended Castleton District No. 2 school in the years starting in 1911 and concluding about the spring of 1921. Selections are inspirational, patriotic or historical in nature and were compiled by Pattengill, who was Superintendent of Public Instructions for the State of Michigan in the Especially tragic is the death of a parent with young children. The remaining spouse, deep in grief, may find it difficult to be helpful to the children. Yet the children must be helped to confront reality - they should be part of the funeral service. Psychiatrists emphasize that if death is not talked about, accepted, and grief worked thru in childhood, behavioral and emotional problems may arise later.

The news was only five years old at the time it made that report on the Barry County Fair, an institution which predates the set­ tlement of the first white man within what is now the corporate limits of Nash­ ville. The fair at Hastings has been an annual tradition enjoyed by many generations of Nashville folks as well as others throughout the region — failing to operate only during the height of the Great Depression. “There will be no Barry County Fair this year because of existing con­ ditions,” noted the News on August 7, 1930. Two weeks later the paper carried announcement by Eaton County Fair Association officials that theirs would be one of the biggest exhibitions ever staged in the county. “Day and night (Eaton County) fair is being widely advertised and the management is looking for a Pauline Miller (right) and an unidentified friend are having a "barrel of fun" at some fair about 1915. Regular passenger train service through Nashville, and often reduced rates during fair week, made even the distant "doings" readily accessible to Nashville residents. record breaking crowd,” noted The News on August 21, 1930. “Lack of a fair in Barry County this year is certain to be beneficial to Eaton, for many folks from this section will make their annual pilgrimage to Charlotte who might otherwise have gone to Hastings.” However, for the many years between its inception and the dark era of the Depression, bigger and better events were organized each year for the Barry County Fair, according to News accounts. “The Barry County Fair opens next Tuesday for four solid days of fun and en­ tertainment,” promised The News on August 8, 1879. “No pains are being spared to make the (Barry) county fair a success, and every farmer should at­ tend,” The News declared October 15, 1881. Scheduling of the fair in those days ranged from about mid­ August to October, with the first week of September being the overall favorite times. In 1903, at Lake Odessa, where according to a News account, “several fide new fair buildings are nearly completed,” the first Tri­ County Fair for Barry, Eaton and Ionia counties was staged. The following year, the Lake Odessa event advertised four days and nights “featuring more free entertainment than even the State Fair can boast.” The state fair also at­ tracted the attention of Nashville resident^ in that day. Noted the News on Sep­ tember 14, 1905: “Louis Norton and Otto Schulze left Saturday night for Detroit to attend the state fair. The former will exhibit six head of cattle, and the latter took 25 head of hogs.” Schulze returned from Detroit with Havine one s photo taken behind humorous props was a popular pastime at f fairs of the early 20th century. This "basket of peaches" at the Charlotte fair of that era holds, from left, Fern Kinney, Flossie Bolo, Glenn Hoffman and Myrtle Marshall. In addition to Eaton and Barry county fairs, the Tri-County fair at Lake Odessa: the state fair at Detroit; and the West Michigan fair at Grand Rapids were of special interest to area people. These hogs, being loaded for market in the winter, may have been among the prize-winning swine exhibited by Otto Schulze at fairs throughout the summer and fall months in the early 1900s. Schulze (standing toward in wagon, wearing apron) is preparing to truck these hogs from his farm west of town to the Nashville depot for shipment by rail. over $60 in premiums and Norton carried off $193 in prize money. Prior to the state fair that year, both men had exhibited their livestock at the Western Michigan State Fair at Grand Rapids where, according to The News, were offered “$25,000 in cash prizes, free amusements, racing, exhibits and an extensive women’s depart­ ment.” All railroad rates on fares to Grand Rapids and back were reduced that week to encourage fair at­ tendance. (The late Leo Herrick of Nashville in writing his boyhood recollections for The News back in 1961 told of the hectic rides via rail to the county fairs of that era: “As the train pulled in, it was quite obvious to all of us standing on the station platform that there wasn’t going to be enough room for all of us to board it — in a conventional manner, at least. Something would have to give. The farmers, especially, were in no mood to be left standing behind—like a June bride at the altar — when the train pulled out.”) Louis Norton’s Herefords brought him $52 in premiums at the Grand Rapids event Aid he gathered in more blue ribbons at the subsequent fair at Charlotte in 1905 — an increasing attraction for local people. “Roughly half the population of Barry County has been at Charlotte this week, attending the annual Eaton County Fair,” claimed The News in the issue of Sept. 27, 1906. A couple weeks later, Otto Schulze “captured everything in sight in the way of premiums” at the Barry County Fair for his fine herd of OIC swine. By 1927, a milestone had been reached at the Hastings event, as announced by The News on Sept. 1: “Barry County’s Day and Night Fair will fittingly observe the three-quarters century mark of its existence, Sept. 6 to 9. Arrangements are complete for the best of these annual events which have brought the entire county together at Hastings once each fall without a break for seventyfive years.” special Among the features that year were 12 “free” attractions including exciting aerial acts and a troupe of native Hawaiian dancers. “Few county fairs have as good horseracing as Barry has always enjoyed... and Superintendent of Speed F. C. Parker is confident of this year’s races being even faster and more keenly contested than usual,” added the 1927 News account.

When the effects of the Great Depression disrupted the Barry County Fair in 1930, the Charlotte "doing" attracted an additional number of Nashville area folks. (Photo loaned, courtesy Myrtle Brown Donovan) The writer also noted that Barry County had taken “high rank” as a livestock county, and as competition had been opened to herds and flocks outside the county, the 1927 livestock exhibit “will be well filled and attractive to all in­ terested in agriculture in the varied phases.” Competitive displays by Granges in the county were a popular feature at Barry County fairs for many years, and in 1927 prizes for those exhibits ranged from $100 to the top down to $20. In 1929, about seven weeks before Wall Street’s in­ famous stock market “crash”, Barry County staged what was to be its last fair before disruption by the Great Depression. “The officers have planned to make it the biggest and best ever,” said The News of Sept. 3-6 event that year. A sedan,, a dining room suite, and a radio were to be given away. There were ten free attractions in front of the grandstand each day and evening. There were fine herds of dairy and beef cattle, many horses, pens of purebred swine and sheep, poultry exhibits, an art hall, and school and grange displays. There were displays. There showings of the latest model of automobiles, farm machinery, household ar­ ticlesand other merchandise displayed by Hastings merchants — in addition to the usual midway shows. The following year, fair­ goers who might otherwise have gone to Hastings made their annual pilgrimage, instead, to Charlotte. The dark er'-- of the Depression passed in time, and in 1935 The News reported happily that Nash­ ville school, headed by Superintendent W. D. Wallace, was one of four in Barry County to receive $20 premiums for having more than 200 square feet of space in the rural school exhibits at the revived Barry County Fair. Other schools receiving a like award were Woodland Township, Prairieville, and Thornapple. “Albert Bell (of Nashville) was among the winners of first premiums at the fair,” announced The News in that 1935 report, “winning pn Shropshires, yearling ram, ewe lamb, fat sheep, best sheep one year or over, and best pen of four.” That same year, Mrs. Chester Smith of Nashville carried off first prize for Continued next page— �The Maple Valley News, Nashville, Tuesday, August 2, 1983 — Page 5 Obituaries Frederick B.

He has a new Plymouth coach, the first of three cars to be given away during the Barry County Fair.” Through the years, The News has kept local readers apprised of annual fair “doings” in the region.

The need for such a clinic is based on several factors. High unemployment in the district has resulted in loss of health insurance benefits for many residents, A significant number of prenatal clients in Barry and Eaton counties have no prenatal visits or an inadequate number of prenatal visits to health care providers. The high infant mortality rates and rising numbers of low-weight births in the area also point to a need for making prenatal care more available for those with insufficient resources.

Main St. Nashville If you have visited Mexico on vacation recently and purchased vanilla to bring home, be aware that it could have been a poor in­ vestment. The Federal Drug Administration says the flavor enhancer that makes Mexican vanilla more aromatic and more potent than its addition of coumarin, an anti-coagulant drug. The blood-thinning coumarin was found by the FDA in two brands of Mexican vanilla extract, “La Pueza” and “La Vencedora”. An FDA spokesman recommends that all brands of Mexican vanilla be considered suspect until proven otherwise and not used.

Corkwell, Clerk July 13,1983 NOTICE OF A PUBLIC HEARING on INCREASING PROPERTY TAXES PLEASE TAKE NOTICE that on August 10, 1983 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 1983 of an additional proposed millage rate of .2151 mills for operating purposes pursuant to Act 5, Public Acts of Michigan 1982. The Board of Education has the complete authority to establish that 25.01 mills be levied in 1983 from within its present authorized millage rate. The maximum additional proposed millage rate would increase revenues for operating purposes from ad valorem property tax levies irt 1983 otherwise permitted by Act 5, Public Acts of Michigan, 1982, by nine tenths of one percent (.9%). The Board of Education levied 25.01 mills this past school year for operational the school district. The state equalized valuation of the school district for the 1983-84 school year is $57,731,089 compared with 1982-83 state equalized valuation of $57,019,639. The State Aid Membership Act is written in such a way that when the local state equalized value increases and the tax­ payer pays more in taxes the state reduces the amount of rev­ enue 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. 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.

Director The apple maggot is a major pest of backyard apple trees. If you don’t do a good job of controllig this pest, nearly 100 percent of your crop may be damaged. The apple maggot is the larva of a small fly. The fly lays its eggs just beneath the apple skin, leaving a little scar. As the apple grows, the wound becomes visible as a slight depression. Normally an unprotected fruit will show many scars by harvest time. After egg laying, the eggs hatch and the larvae begin burrowing through the ap­ ple, leaving small brown trails through the apple flesh. Most of the flesh may eventually become soft and brown. The maggots spend three or four weeks inside the apple. Infested fruits of early varieties generally drop prematurely. Then the larvae burrow into the foil, where they remain until spring. Then they emerge as adult flies to start the cycle over again. You can reduce apple maggot problems by plan­ ting apple varieties that are naturally resistant to apple maggot injury. For example, McIntosh and Rome have tough skin and apple maggot adults have trouble laying their eggs through it. Some other varieties, such as Northern Spy, are very hard until late in the growing season. Apple maggots do not develop very well within them. Traditional control measures are sanitation and regular applications of malathion or Sevin from late June through harvest time. Picking up fallen apples prevents the maggots from entering the soil and com­ pleting their development. This reduces the homegrown fly population and, over two to three years, can dramatically reduce the fly problem and make it easier for other control measures to succeed. As an alternative to chemical insecticides, try hanging 2 % inch wooden balls in your apple tree in June. Hang one ball for every 100 fruits. Make the balls more visible by removing the leaves within 10 inches of them. Flies looking for fruits on which to lay their eggs will mistake the balls for apples and try to lay their eggs on them. Ifyou coat the balls with a sticky substance such as Tanglefoot, any fly landing on them will get stuck and be eliminated as a threat to developing fruits. Be sure to clean the balls occasionally with kerosene and apply fresh Tanglefoot to keep them working. The balls are available commercially from Great Lakes IPM, in Vestaburg, Michigan. Croquet balls will also work. Tanglefoot can be obtained from many nur­ series, hardware stores and garden centers.

Wolf, executive director of the Barry County Commission on Aging, announced that, through the Senior Center Humanities Program, a new series entitled “Search for Meaning” will begin August 16 at the Senior Center, 120 N. Michigan Avenue, Hastings. The classes will be held each Tuesday from 10 a.m. until 11:45 a.m. and will continue for at least eight weeks. This Humanities series deals with the relationship between man and nature, different cultures, and life after death, just to name a few topics. This series also provides insights through literature, history and art. The Senior Center Humanities Program is sponsored by the National Council on the Aging, and supported by a grant from the Public Program Division of the National Endowment for the Humanities. It is designed to enrich the lives of older Americans through involvement in literature and history. Some 400 centers in 45 states have joined the program since it began in 1976. Up to the present, more than 33,000 persons of varied backgrounds have enjoyed these highly interesting and informative discussions, of which there are several.

Vacation plans should include lawn, garden care Your lawn and garden don’t take a break when you go on vacation. To keep things under control while you’re gone, include provisions for landscape and garden care in your vacation plans. Lee Taylor, Extension horticulture specialist at Michigan State University, suggests arranging to have your lawn mowed regularly. A shaggy lawn is a tip-off that no one is home. Letting the grass grow long and then cutting it short is also rough on the turf. A neglected garden is another indication that you’re away. Though it would be asking a lot of even good friends to expect them to weed the garden, you can probably find someone willing to harvest it for you. Regular picking of cucumbers, peppers and summer squash is necessary to keep them producing; and keeping up with the harvest means there is less overripe or rotting produce to attract insects. To keep the weeds from taking over while you’re gone, eliminate as many of them as possible before you leave and put down a thick mulch between the rows. A thorough watering before you mulch will help crops withstand any dry weather that occurs while you’re gone. 10th annual island art fair Additional parts or services, which may be needed, great extra cost Sale Price Offer Good Aug. 3-9 Our Re■g. 68.88 Sale Price 58.88 53.88 23.97 Maintenance-free Motorvator™ in sizes for many U.S. and foreign cars. • Computer balance 2 front wheels • Align front end • K care1* safety check • Install one set quality brake shoes or front disc brake pads • Resurface drums or true rotors • Rebuild wheel cylinders if possible, replace if necessary at additional parts cost per wheel cylinder (drum brakes) • Inspect calipers (disc brakes) • Repack inner, outer bearings • Replace front grease seals Offer Good Aug. 3-9 Delivers up to 500 cold cranking amps.

Plans for new Nashville fountain underway by Susan Hinckley Work on the new fountain and restoration of the wading pool in Nashville’s Central Park is well un­ derway. The project is sponsored by the local Chamber of Commerce in cooperation with the village, which is handling installation and will furnish water and electricity to the fountain. The Four Seasons Girl statue and the pump were delivered Friday. A dedication of the foun­ tain has been set for Friday evening, Sept, 17, during Nashville’s 1983 Harvest Festival. The project is being financed with a 50-50 cash raffle. Fourteen Chamber Nashville Chamber of Commerce directors, from left. Max Kelley, Judy Quantrell, president; and Dave Mace, contemplate the organization's current project of restoring Central Park's wading pool and fountain, and the Chamber's goal of selling lling 1,000 raffle tickets to finance the project. Holder of the lucky ticket in a Sept. 18 drawing will win a minimum of $500 cash — and if all tickes are sold willl walk away with twice that amount. Work on the fountain project is being done by the village Dept, of Public Works. (Maple Valley News photo by Susan Hinckley) members now are selling raffle tickets for donations of $2 each. Others who wish to help sell the chances should contact Chambe President Judy Quantrell. At a Chamber meeting Thursdy evening, the organization also discussed a couple of proposed fund­ raisers during the upcoming Harvest Festival. The Chamber may sponsor a palm-reading booth and also a hole-in-one contest. Arrangements for the for­ mer are pretty, set, but the latter depends upon finding a suitable location in the downtown area to state the competition. Also at Thursday’s meeting the Chamber members expressd concern about the amount of cigarette litter and other debris along Main Street in the business district. It was decided that Judy Quantrell would attend the next meeting of the Nashville council to ask village of­ ficials for more frequent sweeping of the thorough­ fare. Those present at Thur­ sday’s meeting expressed appreciation for the regular sweepig that keeps village residential streets tidy but concluded that ‘Main Street needs to be swept more often than once a week. They cited such problems as motorists emptying auto ashtrays at curbside as contributing to the litter situation. Eaton County 4-H Fair champion homemaker named by Mona J. Ellard, Ext.

Local pizza business granted trial video arcade license by Susan Hinckley A video arcade license for Good Time Pizza, soon to open at 119 North Main Street, Nashville, was ap­ proved by the Nashville Village Council at its July 28 meeting. The license, sanctioned under village ordinance No. 19, was granted to owners Michael and Douglas Gordon and issued on a 30-day trial basis for the hours of 11 a.m. to 11 p.m. weekdays and-11 a.m. to midnight . on weekends. In other business at the meeting, the council refused to grant any additional extensions beyond Aug. 1 to those homeowners who^have not yet hooked up to the new municipal sewer system, as stipulated by law. Time extensions have been granted over the past several months on an in­ dividual basis. Thursday the council decided to proceed with legal action against those homeowners who have made no effort to meet the latest deadline. Village Clerk Susan Corkwell estimates the homeowners in non­ compliance to number less than ten. In other action the council: -Approved purchase of two rebuilt General Electric hand-held radios for the Nashville Police Dept, at the cost of $1,580. -Decided on a tie vote broken by President John Hughes that the village should advertise for sealed bids on reroofing the vilage garage on Cleveland Street, and agreed that the amount of a bid read at Thursday’s meeting should be stricken from the record.

Each evening there, some 12 to 15 thousand delegates and visitors will participate in a worship service; however, every Assembly of God member and church can take part in this telecast Sunday evening, August 14. Three cable networks, CBN, PTL, and TBN will carry the show at 8:30 p.m. EST. The program will feature an evangelistic service with General Superintendent Thomas F. Zimmerman preaching. There will also be outstanding musical guests and features on Assemblies of God ministries around the world. Rev. Robert Taylor of the Nashville church, located at 803 Reed Street, cordially invites attendance at this event. The service here commences one-half hour before the telecast. “The Big Catch” is the theme of the 1983 Vacation Bible School set for evenings, August 15-19 at Nashville Assembly of God. The 6:30 to 8 p.m. sessions will be conducted again, this year by the Sonshine Gang. Bible stories, puppet shows, quizzes, games and prizes will be featured nightly. Rev. Robert Taylor invites you to come and hear what Jesus taught about being “fishers of men.” Mrs. Owen (Iva) Hynes of Nashville was both surprised and delighted to open last week’s Maple Valley News and find a 1915 photo of herself in our Memories of the Past story on early county fairs in this area. She is the “unidentified friend” seen with Pauline Miller in the Barrel of Fun picture, which we had guessed was taken about 1915. Turns out that guess was absolutely correct. Pauline and the formerr Iva Iva Hill Hill were were photographed at the Barry County Fair in Hastings, says Mrs. Hynes who is now 82. Pauline, who later became Mrs. Dale Downing, is now deceased but lived near Nashville all of her life. Mrs. Elsie Cogswell of Nashville was surprised with a family gathering Sunday, July 31, in honor of her 90th birthday. The dinner event was hosted by her children and nieces at the Maple Leaf Grange Hall south of Nashville. Seventy-five persons were present, coming from Okemos, Grand Rapids, Charlotte and the local area.

James Vogel’s NOTICE OF A PUBLIC HEARING on INCREASING PROPERTY TAXES The Board of Education has the complete authority to establish that 25.01 mills be levied in 1983 from within its present authorized millage rate. The maximum additional proposed millage rate would increase revenues for operating purposes from ad valorem prop­ erty tax levies in 1983 otherwise permitted by Act 5, Public Acts of Michigan, 1982, by nine tenths of one percent (.9%). The Board of Education levied 25.01 mills this past school year for operation of the school district! The state equalized valuation'of the school district for the 1983-84 school year is $57,731,089 compared with 1982-83 state equalized valuation of $57,019,639. The State Aid Membership Act is written in such a way that when the local state equalized value increases and the tax­ payer pays more in taxes the state reduces the amount of rev­ enue 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. 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.

Martin said that he sold his AMC-Jeep-Renault dealership because the company was pushing for expansion of his building and he was reluctant to go ahead with the project. He said that because a buyer was available, he sold the business. “I like to sell cars rather than get involved in the building end of it,” Martin said. Charles Andrus, owner of Frantz Buick-Chevrolet, said that he was delighted to have a person with Martin’s ex­ perience join his staff. “Having Jack join us is another step in our efforts to meet our customers with a professional staff,” Andrus said.

Betz, Ext. Agri. Agent “Grain producers need to spend more time marketing the crop they grow,” says Rob Fisher of Merrill-Lynch speaking at a recent marketing meeting spon­ sored by the CES. He also noted thatno one, neither the commodity dealers or the farmers, is comfortable with marketing corn this year due to the government farm programs and disturbing weather problems in the midwest. Long term weather studies show we may con- tinue to experience hot dry weather affecting crop yields due to the jet stream being farther north bringing us hot dry Kansas weather. According to Fisher, farmers should sell their corn before August when the new crop estimate comes out and everyone knows how much com will be grown. Farmers know the condition of their crop and can beat the experts. As a broker, he noted that he recommends selling one third of the crop when it is planted, one third when it pollinates, and one SALE ENDS SATURDAY F The Saving Place ~ third when it matures. Jim Hilker of Michigan State University sum­ marized the latest govern­ ment reports for corn, wheat, and soybeans. He noted that July 1, 1983, we had total ending corn stocks equal to 46.3 percent of our current use. Even though we have such a huge inventory of corn most of it new is tied up in the government programs making only a small amount of corn free to be sold on the market. This is causing corn prices to be near $3.15 triggering the release of some reserved corn under government programs. Old crop prices are about as high as farmers can expect right now. Even though PIK reduced our planted corn acres from 82 million acres to 60 million acres we cannot expect much corn price im­ provement due to the huge stock of corn from the 1982 crop. Hilker is predicting the U.S. season average price of $2.65 to $2.90. Wheat prices for the 1983 crop appear rather low due to a larger supply of wheat even though we have PIK. Wheat carryover after the 1983 crop will be 67.3 percent.

Oats have reduced stands and next year’s yields in summer seedings in MSU research at East Lansing. Don’t wheat: in seed Generally, alfalfa should not be seeded with wheat in the fall because of the danger of winter injury. Spring seeding in wheat in MSU tests has resulted in erratic stands lacking uniformity necessary for high yields. Plowing the wheat stubble under and making a summer seeding in early August gives as good as or better stands than when spring seeded in oats, and a much better stand than when alfalfa is seeded with wheat in fall or on top of wheat in spring. Other tips: Make sure the pH is at 6.8 or above and fertilize according to a soil test. Alfalfa has high requirements for potassium. Use recommended, wilt resistant, hardy and root rot­ resistant varieties. Seeding rate should be 12 to 16 pounds per acre. Be sure to innoculate in order to take advantage of nitrogen fixation.

Growth of alfalfa has stopped by this date and no injury will result. Spring seedings should generally be rested during September to October 15 for maximum food storage in the roots. Summer seedings must not be grazed, clipped, or disturbed in September of early October of the seeding year. They need adequate time for root or top growth and food storage. Cutting or grazing spring or summer seedings after October 15 when growth stops will not hurt the seedlings and will provide from % to 1 ton of good silage or pasture per acre.

S—S Council takes unprecedented action due to engineering flaw In an unprecedented move, the Nashville Village Council Thursday agreed to assume freeze-up respon­ sibility for a homeowner’s service lineconnecting to the municipal sewer system. The action was necessary, said some councilmen, because of poor engineering of construction in that area of the new $4.8 million system. The collection main which commences in front of the William Moon home at 609 Grant Street is only four feet deep, said Village President John Hughes, who ac­ companied village engineers to the site to measure its depth. The shallowness of the main line necessitates an even lesser depth for the Moon’s lateral line from their house to the collection system, putting it well above frost level, village officials agreed. Because of the potential of freeze-up and concern about future costs of corrective measures, the Moons con­ sulted Hastings attorney David Dimmers to seek a written guarantee from the Nashville council that the village would accept responsibility for the lateral line in case of freezing. Nashville’s sewer ordinance clearly states that responsibility of the lateral line lies with the homeowner.

The bus routes will be basically the same this school year as during the past school year. If you have any questions regarding transportation, you should call Gerald Aldrich at the bus garage, 852-9421. The morning and af­ ternoon sections of kin­ dergarten will be completed by Aug. 23.

The village, according to the law is responsible only for the main collection line which connects to the homeowner’s service stub. Trustee Jerry Kent backed the Moon’s request: “I don’t feel we should make them hook-up (to the system) until we can guarantee them a non-freeze situation.” But he voted “no” on the motion to assume responsibility for the line because he said he felt the engineering firm of Williams & Works should bear that responsibility. “Are we going to guarantee their work (all over town)?” asked Kent. “Why should the village take (financial) responsibility when it’s an engineering thing?” Trustee Linda Frith also expressed the opinion that Williams and Works was responsible for engineering of the line which had caused the situation. The Moon’s property lies at the end of the collection line on Grant Street. At one point in Thursday’s discussion, the council considered not requiring the Moons to hook-up to the system as mandated by law, but Hughes explained that the Moons want to connect to the sewer line and have already made plumbing changes to eliminate use of the present septic system at the site. “We (village officials) are not engineers,” said Hughes, adding that the council had to rely on the expertise of the engineering firm for design of the system. The village agreed to assume responsibility for possible freeze-up of the Moon’s service line provided it were installed with proper insulation as recommended by the engineers and that it meets village inspection. In other business Thur­ sday, the council: — Agreed to clean Main Street on Monday morning as well as Friday at the request of Chamber of Commerce President Judy Quantrell, representing local merchants, who said the once-a-week sweeping is not sufficient to keep the curb­ side clean of litter. — Heard an update from John Forbes, new general’ manager of Charter Telecommunications, Inc., the ceible TV system serving Nashville. He told of his company’s plans following his recent meeting with a special council committee. Among things Forbes reported was the planned installation of a toll-free 800 number so local suscribers can dial the main office of the firm at Middleville at no charge, and the pending arrangements for a local business place to serve as a collection point for sub­ scriber’s monthly service bills. — Agreed to extend a sewer collection line being installed in Fuller Heights subdivision to serve an additional home on Casgrove Street as well as six already scheduled to be reached by the new line. Farmers Home Administration is bearing most of the cost of the project. — Extended the deadline for paying village taxes without penalty from August 20 to September 9. — Accepted a bid of $1,440 from Carroll Lamie of Nash­ ville for re-roofing the village garage on Cleveland COUNCIL cont. page 3 �The Maple Valley News. Nashville, Tuesday, August 16, 1983 — Page 2 Nashville News Now available free from most merchants in the village is a map and business guide of Nashville recently published under sponsorship of the local Chamber of Commerce. Cost of designing and printing 5,000 copies of the map was borne by over 40 local merchants whose ads appear on the sheet. Each is coded with a number to show the location of the business place on the Nashville street map. On the reverse side is a map of Barry County. A local church directory also is included or. the folder which is faced with a sketch of Putnam Public Library and carries Nashville’s recently^ adopted slogan, “The Friendly Village.” Ask for your free copy of the map at any participating local business place. The map was published by J-Ad Graphics, Inc., owner of the Maple Valley News, and coor­ dinated by sales represen­ tative Virginia Alles. Nashville will host the First Annual Southern Michigan Lock and Key Collectors Show on Satur­ day, Aug. 27, at the Com­ munity Center in Putnam Park. The 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. event is under the direction of local locksmith Homer Snow and is open to the public. Dealers will begin setting up exhibits at 9 a.m., and their displays will feature unusual locks and keys, including numerous antiques. Last year the Snows hosted a similar show on a smaller scale at their home in Nashville. Lock and key exhibitors may make table reservations for a $3 donation by contacting Snow. The public is invited to view the show. Coffee and rolls will be available at the center. Nashville taxpayers got a break Thursday when the village council approved extension of the village tax deadline from Aug. 20 until Sept. 9, without penalty. Vacation Bible school is in session this week at two local churches. At the Assembly of God on Reed Street, “The Big Catch” is the theme of meetings conducted nightly If the family of the deceased discovers that the only copy of a will, burial instructions, cemetery deed and life insurance are stored in a Safe Deposit Box, it could take several weeks before a family could obtain a court order to retrieve those docu­ ments.

The community was saddened to learn of the death Tuesday of Fern Staup, 70, of Nashville, who passed away at her home on South State Street following a lingering illness. Her husband, longtime local barber Vem Staup, died last year and Fem has been in failing health since then. She is survived by two sons; two daughters; two sisters; and 13 grandchildren. Services were conducted Friday at Vogt Funeral Home. The former Mobilgas Pop Shop at the comer of Main and Fuller will be re-opened soon as a Standard service station by Jerry Kent, owner of Kent Oil Company in Nashville. The station was closed earlier this year due to bankruptcy of its former owner, Community Oil Co. of Charlotte. The Kents, who have owned the Standard station in Vermontville since 1981, are remodeling the local facility and will carry pop and miscellaneous groceries as well as gasoline. After reading our recent Memories story on early county fairs in this area, former local resident Wayne Fuller of Toledo, Ohio, wrote that his recollection of them is a “little foggy” but the earliest he one can remember attending was at Charlotte. He said he has no idea now how the family got there, whether by train or auto, but he saw one thing he still recalls: “A magician suspended a lady several feet off the floor and passed a hoop over her to prove that she was floating,” In our story we had mentioned how Nashville folks often rode trains to various fairs in this region, including the annual Barry County Fair at Hastings. Fuller recalled in his letter that his father had a cousin in Hastings whom they visited every once in a while. “We would take the train up there,” he wrote. “This cousin had one of the early Fords and would take us for a ride. He had a 50gallon drum of gasoline and would strain it through a chamois skin into a teakettle and then into the car. I remember one time we drove to Freeport. That was a big deal in those days. Main Street will be swept twice a week, instead of once, following a plea Thursday night by the Nashville Chamber of Commerce to the village council. Previously the street was swept every Friday along with all other village streets, but now it will be cleaned again each Monday morning By Susan Hinckley to combat the litter which accumulates at curbside over the weekend. Main Street merchants have recently complained of the debris, and decided at a recent Chamber meeting to ask for village help in the matter. A helping hand with the upcoming Nashville Harvest Festival came last week in the form of a $106 check to the Maple Valley Recreational Development Corp., sponsors of the event. The contribution was given by the Women’s Auxiliary of the local V.F.W. Post 8260 to be used toward the Sep­ tember 16-17-18 festival, being staged again this year by the MVRDC as a fund­ raiser. With grant monies and funds netted from past festivals, the organization has developed a recreational park featuring ball fields and picnic facilities on a fiveacre site adjacent to the west side of the Main Street business district. Highlights of the 1983 Harvest Festival will be the crowning of a Harvest King and Queen during a Friday evening talent show, Sept. 16, and dedication of the new Central Park fountain that same evening; a noon parade on Saturday, followed by an afternoon mini-tractor pull; and a 3.1 Fund Run around the perimeter of the village of Sunday. At dusk on Sunday a fireworks display will be staged from the new MVRDC park. As always, a harvest product contest will be a traditional highlight of the festival. A Jackson-based carnival and concessions firm has agreed to funish amusement rides for Nashville’s upcoming festival, and will set up on the vacant lot on the west side of Main Street. Permission has been granted by the state Dept, of Transportation to close Main Street on Saturday, Sept. 17, between noon and 6 p.m. to facilitate foot traffic in the area. Flea market tables also will be set up in the downtown both area, Saturday and Sunday. Mrs. Elsie Ramsey of rural Nashville and her daughter and son-in-law, Doris and Cleo Jacobs of Algonquin Lake, Hastings, enjoyed Sunday morning breakfast recently at a Nashville restaurant. Chaudette and Ted Myers of Charlotte were callers Friday evening, Aug. 5, on her mother, Mrs. Elsie Ramsey.

Late summer was a popular season for staging those gatherings which have become a long-standing tradition. Family reunions were so important in those “Model T days” that relatives frequently traveled hun­ dreds of miles to attend. There also were the early reunions of classmates and teachers of old rural schools in this area. Both types of events were occasions for visiting, catching up on the latest news about one’s relatives or friends, and for reminiscing about days gone by. Putnam Park in Nashville and the old Lake House at Cole’s resort on Thornapple Lake were popular gathering spots for Nashville area reunions. Sometimes the school reunions were held at the site of the old schoolhouse, ifpossible, or at the home of a neighborhood family. According to Nashville News accounts, it appears that family reunions were especially strong during the 1920s. By the mid-1980s, it seems that the Great Depression may have taken its toll on even that small pleasure — perhaps economic conditions deterred the required travel necessary for clans to gather, though several still met. Activities at reunions varied, but most featured a business meeting to elect office's and plan the next year’s gathering. A program of music or speeches often followed, and there were games and sports and swimming where possible. Perhaps one of the most unusual program features we found in scanning old News issues was a mock election at the McKelvey family reunion in 1928 to determine whether Al Smith or Herbert Hoover would be the next president of the United States. Of course, for young children as well as adults, a big pleasure of the day was getting their fill at a table groaning with sumptuous eatables prepared at various homes and carried to the event in picnic baskets. Often topping off the feast was ice cream freshlycranked at the site of the gathering while an audience of eager youngsters wat­ ched. Reunions of that era were truly a time for memory­ making. To recapture a bit of that nostalgia, we have selected the following random excerpts from among the numerous ac­ counts of such events carried in The Nashville News about 55 years ago. Read, remember and enjoy! August 12, 1926... Mrs. Millie DeLong Fluery en­ tertained the pioneer alumni class of theBarryville School at Shady Lawn cottage Thursday. The showers in the forenoon did not dampen their enthusiasm,, and everyone was out for a good time. Dinner was served on the lawn to a jolly crowd indeed. The afternoon was passed in reminiscences, stories of many happy hours of the past, and hopes for the future discusssed... About two hundred attended the annual reunion of the Briggs school, located one mile east of Lacey, on Wednesday of last week. The weather was fine and everyone present had the time of their life.

The fourth reunion of the classes of 1897 and 1898 of Nashville High School was held at the fine country home of Mr. and Mrs. Roy Brumm, Sunday. It was an ideal day. The long tables were spread in the shade of the trees on the green lawn, and were heavily laden with good things to eat. After dinner, all gathered near the porch and sang old school songs... August 18, 1927... The annual reunion of the high school classes of 1897 and 1898 was held at Thornapple Lake Sunday. It certainly was a booster reunion. Family reunion photos were almost as traditional as the occasion itself. This one was taken sometime before 1917 at Coles Thornapple Lake resort, a popular spot for such gatherings of that era. Persons in this family group photo supplied by former local resident Guy Howell are unidentified except for his Everyone was so happy and full of pep and glad to greet their old friends and schoolmates with a hearty handshake. The large east room at the Lake House had been engaged but it was such a beautiful day the tables were moved under the shady trees near the lake, where Mother Nature with her birds, squirrels, and rippling Memories of the past According to on inscription on the back of this August 31, 1916, photo, this is a gathering of former "scholars when Willie Warner taught school at Barryville." Although personal identification and location are not noted on the picture, some of the family names which appear in other accounts of Barryville water added to the splendor of the occasion. The pretty white tables were laden with good things to eat, ranging from jelly to Spanish chicken. After everyone was sure they had had their fill, the worthy president, Alton J. Hager of Lansing, welcomed the members in his charming and clever way... After a short business session, the meeting was turned over to the chairman, Mrs. Maud Wotring, who also welcomed the members and their families... and called on a number of them for impromptu speeches. August 16,1928... The ninth annual reunion of the Burgess family was held at Putnam Park in Nashville Saturday. The potluck at noon was served to 66 Burgess descendants at which time Mrs. William Howell of Detroit presented Leonard Davis with a beautiful three-layer cake with 80 rosebuds and candles in honor of his 80th birthday anniversary. He also was presented with a purse of money, and received many birthday greetings. August 23, 1928... The Old Brick, Shores, Warnerville reunion will be August 30 at Frank Furlong’s grove.

The descendants of Ezra and Mary Robinson met for their ninth reunion at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Victor Lundstrum, Monday. After a bountiful potluck dinner, a business meeting was called to order... followed by a short program, games and sports...

There was a good at­ tendance, representatives of the family from Rockford, Illinois; Houston, Texas; Kalamazoo,. Charlotte and other parts of the state being present. August 29,1929... Sixty-one gathered at Thornapple Lake for the annual Mc­ Clelland reunion Sunday. Each family came at an early hour with well-filled baskets and at noon all did justice as they surrounded the table loaded until it groaned. After visiting, a program was listened- to, after which ice cream and cake were served. As each departed to their respective homes, they felt it had been a day well spent and will make an extra effort to attend the reunion planned for next year at Mrs. Martha James Hill’s of Findlay, Ohio. August 21, 1930... The Everett family reunion was held Sunday at Putnam Park with about sixty members present... a fine potluck dinner was served which was followed by the business meeting.

Tuesday August 16, 1983 — Poge 6 Vermontville youth is top showman by Susan Hinckley Scott Everett, son of Mr. and Mrs. Leon Everett of Pease Road, Vermontville, was named 1983 Eaton County Champion Sweep­ stakes Showman at the recent fair at Charlotte. Scott, a senior at Maple Valley High School and newly-elected president of Region V Future Farmers of America, competed with 12 other 4-H youths for the top title. In addition to his own ewe, Scott showed his expertise in handling animals in five other species. The categories in which all 12 youngsters had to compete were sheep, horses, goats, beef, dairy, and hogs, the champion and reserve champion animals in the showmanship com­ petition for each are used in the grand sweepstakes contest, so that in addition to showing his own animal, each youth also shows five which do not belong to him. A quick refresher course in handling each and brushing up on facts to pass a quiz by the judges is needed to do well in the show. Scott said he acquainted himself with the winning animals prior to the show and stayed up most of Friday night to prepare and study for Saturday’s competition. The Champion Sweep­ stakes Showman award is the ultimate honor a 4-H’er can win at the fair. Judging is done by a panel of peers — former contestants and winners of similar events at other county fairs in this area. There are a possible 10 points which can be earned in each of the six categories. Questions from judges can cover such topics as biological or anatomic facts about the animal as well as proper preparation procedures for show. Scott scored 10 points each on sheep and horses; -nine on goats; seven each on beef and dairy; and six on hogs. To prepare his sheep for the fair, Scott spent more than 30 hours just in grooming the animal. He also worked many weeks before the fair in nightly exercises with the animal to pare down the ewe’s weight and in showmanship training. In addition to the trophy he won as a top sheep showman, Scott was awarded a large engraved silver platter for winning the Champion Sweepstakes Showman title.

Sheppard’s popularity was certainly evident at Sandyland Park last Sunday. A crowd of 1,600, including fans from as far away as New York, Pennsylvania, and West Virginia, came out to enjoy his music and the beautiful day. Sheppard celebrated a birthday on July 21 arid his national fan club took Sunday’s appearance as an opportunity to have their own birthday party for him. Approximately 100 club members were present and had a between-shows picnic with him. During the two shows, T.G. played what most of his fans came to hear, all of his big hits. “Last Cheater’s Waltz”, “Party Time”, “War is Hell (on the Homefront Too)”, “Finally”, “Do You Want to Go to Heaven”, and “I Loved Them Every One” were just some of the number one hits that he performed to an enthusiastic response. Sheppard closed his show literally with a “bang”. After singing his hit “Only One You”, numerous flash­ pots went off across the stage, much to the audien­ ce’s enjoyment. He then encored with another of his number one songs, “I’ll Be Coming Back for More”. Prairie Dust recording artist Michelle Spitz and her backup band, Country Fever, opened the two shows Sunday. She sang her current single, “Let it be Me Tonight”, along with many popular country tunes. Coming August 21 to Sandyland Park will be Tammy Wynette.

Action-Ads AGENCY PREDICTS $149.5 MILLION SURPLUS - The Senate Fiscal Agency of the Michigan Legislature has released a report that indicates the state budget will contain a $149.5 million surplus at the end of Fiscal Year 1983. During the debate over the state income tax increase, the Senate Fiscal Agency reported a budget deficit of $600 million, while Governor Blanchard predicted a $900 million deficit. Many legislators who believed the 38 percent income tax increase was too high are convinced that the projected surplus is a result of the excessive tax increase and the national economic recovery. • SUPREME COURT CASE LOADS SOAR - The Michigan Supreme Court reports that they have tried 2,224 cases during the year ending June 30.

Roger A. Betz, Extension agricultural agent “Proper ration formulation and use is important in order to assure the greatest return from the feed bill dollar,” Betz adds. The county Extension office has a computer ter­ minal that can be used to calculate detailed dairy rations. It will balance the ration based on production levels desired, body weight and feed stuffs made available. This ration will have all the nutrients necessary for the cow based on university research. It will give a feed cost per cow, per day. The quantity of each feed ingredient, the nutrient composition and the price of feeds at which the com­ position will change, are all calculated. Over 25 different values for each feed stuff are used in determining ration. These range from protein content, calcium, phosphorus, fiber, to micro-nutrients such as iron, zinc and copper to supplemental vitamins such as vitamin A and vitamin D. Feed testing is encouraged to- supplement the ration balancing program. The computer can only be as accurate as the information going into it. The charge for the service is around $6 which covers the computer time used. “I feel this is a small investment to make, considering the total feed cost of a dairy operation. It is important to spend money for feed where it will do the most good,” adds Betz. For more information, call the Extension office at 543­ 2310 or 372-5594. �The Maple Valley News.

This can be dangerous, says Fred H. Tschirley, Michigan State University professor of botany and plant pathology. Depending upon their toxicity and the duration of exposure to them, these insecticides can affect humans as they affect insects. Many commonly used insecticides kill by attacking the bug’s central nervous system. This impairs its respiratory and metabolic functions, eventually leading to death. The toxic chemicals in insecticides can have the same effect on humans. Organophosphate and organocarbamate in­ secticides are the most common in use today. Overexposure to them is potentially lethal. Symptoms of orgamophosphate poisoning can develop during exposure to the insecticide or within 12 hours of contact with the chemical. Headache, diz­ ziness, weakness, muscle twitching, tremors, nausea, abdominal cramps, diarrhea and sweating are common symptoms. Acute organocarbamate poisoning symptoms include diarrhea, nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain, profuse sweating, salivation and blurred vision. A human can become contaminated with an in­ secticide by absorbing it through the skin (the palms, neck, forehead, groin and feet are particularly sensitive), by inhaling the fumes and by ingesting the chemical through the mouth. Anyone using insecticides should wear clothing that covers the entire body. Tshirts, shorts and tennis or leather shoes are out-long pants, a long-sleeved shirt (heavy denim coveralls provide the best protection), a broad-brimmed hat, rubber gloves and rubber boots are in. Before using the in­ secticide, carefully read the the instructions for recommended use and personal protection. After applying the in­ secticide, wash the sprayer in warm, soapy water and thoroughly flush it on welldrained ground where children and pets will not be exposed to the residues. Rubber boots and rubber gloves should be cleaned in the same manner as the sprayer. All clothing should be washed separately from other household articles to prevent contamination by insecticide residue. After all equipment has been properly cleaned and clothing set aside for washing, the next step is to take a thorough shower using lots of warm water and soap.

But as the dog days of summer linger and the forests dry, each of us who visits the outdoors must take personal responsibility for the safety and integrity of the wildlands. The fire-wise camper, hiker or driver takes com­ mon-sense precautions to keep from destroying the outdoor setting he enjoys. Here’s how to add these precautions to your outdoor behavior. Smoke with care. If you’re driving, use your car’s ashtray and don’t throw butts out the window. Even a freshly crushed cigarette can contain enough heat to spark a holocaust. If you’re camping, bring along ashtrays or use pieces of aluminum' foil or other noncombustible material for ashes. Hikers should smoke only when they rest, looking for a large rock on which to flick their ashes. As an alternative, hiking shops carry small fireproof con­ tainers of all descriptions which can be used as field ashtrays. Drivers should also exercise care, especially when going off the road. Cars and trucks with catalytic converters generate enor­ mous quantities of heat in the undercarriage. Driving a low-slung, converterequipped car over dry brush or parking on long grass could spark a fire. Better to stay on the road or look for clear areas to park if your ACTION-ADS o wbtob to ond i *ftOj«W*M;I? *L L,L*lBftO«WMI?

At no other time does man bring more fire into the wildlands for a longer period of time. If you're camping in an area that is not equipped with fireplaces, it’s essential to prepare your fire ground properly. Choose a spot fairly distant from large concentrations of dry growth. Clear the area immediately around the campfire of all growth; if they are available, build a ring of small stones around the fire site to control large embers from rolling off. Be careful, once the fire is going, not to squirt lighter fluid, charcoal starter or other flammable liquids into the fire to pep it up. Flame can travel back along the stream of fluid and explode the can in your hand with incredible quickness. At the end of the evening, extinguish your fire thoroughly by dowsing it with water or smothering it with dirt. Stir the ashes and dowse or smother again. Make sure your campfire is watched and attended...or totally out. Permit nothing in between and you’ll go a long way to prevent forest fire hazards. And be courteous to the next visitor to use your campsite. Bury your refuse or take it with you. Hopefully the next person to encounter your campsite will see only a verdant landscape...the only clue of previous habitation being the fully extinguished remains of a well built campfire. Enjoy!

Board Goals and Objectives: A discussion of board goals and objectives for the 83-84 school years was held and consideration was given the following: 1. A balanced budget and future planning. 2. Curriculum-reinstating of extra curricular activities, etc. when possible. 3. Public support (more public involvement-better public relations). 4. Evaluation of standards (meaning within schools and subject matter). 5. Applying for more federal funding whenever possible. Further consideration and recommendations will be given these goals at a later meeting. Negotiations: A discussion was held relative to non-teaching negotiations with the secretaries, aides, bus drivers, bus garage personnel, custod­ ians and administrators. Little progress has been made and the major differences center around salary increase requests, plus additional insurance benefits for non-teaching personnel this coming school year. The board representatives have presented the concept of a freeze for 83-84 with ith the concept of a long range salary schedule. Replacement Melanie Garlinger: A recommen­ dation was made by Burr Hartenburg, that Marjorie Wolff be employed for substitute in the Special Education Department for Melanie Garlinger, who will be on leave August 29, 1983 through October 14, 1983. The board felt further checking should be done through the county to see if a fully certified Special Education teacher would be avail­ able before such a decision was made. Burning of trash at F.S.: A complaint was filed with Jim Erwin regarding burning of milk cartons at Fuller Street Elementary School and odor result­ ing. Further checking into this matter will be done. Letter on Driver Education: A letter from Richard Claflin, Department of Education, was brought to the board regarding the school district personnel not allowing a student to complete the driver educa­ tion program considering the student missed one week of classroom instruction because of illness. The letter referred to the fact that the school dis­ trict had been approved on April 22, 1982 to oper­ ate under the competency concept which should be considered although the state requirement is thirty hours of classroom instruction. It was felt that further checking into this matter is necessary with further consideration at a future meeting. Cogswell left meeting. Transfer of teachers: Motion by Hawkins, not to accept recommendation of Howard Yost to trans­ fer one teacher to Maplewood and not replace one teacher who will be on leave at Fuller Street for next year. There was no second to the motion; motion died. A lengthy discussion followed and a special meeting was set up for August 22, at 7:00 p.m. in the administration building for further dis­ cussion of this matter. Adjournment: Motion by Hawkins, supported by Cole to adjourn meeting. Time 12:35 p.m. Ayes: All. Absent: Martin and Cogswell. Motion carried. Merle Martin Secretary, Board of Education These minutes are subject to approval at the September 14, 1983 regular meeting.

Thelen, Eaton County 4-H Youth Agent. Activities include dairy cattle breed and showmanship classes, dairy quiz bowl and demonstration contests and dairy science exhibits. Educational clinics designed to improve dairy production skills will also be offered. The wide variety of ac­ tivities allows youngsters who don’t own a dairy animal to participate. “The only requirement is an interest in dairy topics or farming,” Thelen says. Dairy Days is free and open to the public. It’s just one of several livestockrelated activities during 4-H Animal Science Week, Aug. 22-25 at MSU.

Nashville, Vol. 112- No. 9 - Tuesday, August 23, 1983 Maple Valley Athletic Boosters review past school year by Bobbi Hoefler How would your child feel about school without an Athletic Program and the school spirit generated by competitive sports? The Maple Valley Athletic Boosters, during the 1982-83 school year, offered 340 positions on 26 teams to our Jr. Sr. High students because of the efforts of some dedicated, caring parents, grandparents, and friends. Many of our children have enjoyed PeeWee and Little League programs and have looked forward to someday playing Varsity level sports. In our present system, we cannot assume that any one sport will be offered to our promising young athletes. We at Maple Valley have to ask for some volunteer coaching, student donations and parents, like many of you, to help raise thousands of dollars each year to pay for expenses such as $16,373 for equipment and supplies, $5100 for game officials, $4400 for bus travel, and $17,500 for the paid coaches. Even though these ’82-’83 expenses were offset by donations and gate receipts. MVAB still had to raise over $19,000. They did so by selling Lions license plates, socks, T-shirts, sweatshirts, Homecomming pom-poms and ribbons; holding raffles, Alumni football and basketball games; running concession stands for the wrestling, baseball and softball tournaments; of­ fering dances and spaghetti dinners; working during the Maple Syrup Festival at our Hot Dog Stand and Dunking Booth. All these activities, as well as our weekly Thursday night Bingo, take dozens of volunteers, many of whom What other activity would will tell you they enjoyed offer a 13 year old weeks of their shift and the chance to supervised training with meet other parents. their friends for only $15.

No wading allowed in Nashville’s new Central Park Fountain by Susan Hinckley Nashville’s new Central Park fountain is a thing of beauty — and may become a thing of concern for village officials who are trying to get the message to local youngsters that the pool was not designed for their swimming pleasure. Nearly as soon as the fountain installation was completed last week, youngsters toting beach towels and snorkel gear were Three young ladies who stopped for a restful look at the new Central Park fountain in Nashville are, from left, Wendy Jo Dickinson, Amy Dickinson and Cheri Arnes.

Because of the potential hazard of slipping even while wading, any entry into the pool water is strictly for­ bidden. Parents, please do your part to make certain your children understand the rules, to assure the con­ tinued beauty offered by an operating fountain in Central Park. Years ago, when Central Park had its earlier fountain, we understand fish and lily pads filled the fountain pool while youngsters of that era satsified their urge to wade in a circular pool designed for that purpose at Putnam Park. Rev. and Mrs. Leonard Putnam of Nashville recently returned from a week-long trip to New York to visit his daughter, Martha Putnam of Southole, Long Island. En route home the Putnams enjoyed the beautiful scenery in the Pocono Mountains of Penn­ sylvania. On Sunday mor­ ning they stopped at Dubois, Pa., to attend services at the First United Methodist Church and were made most welcome by the congregation. Following the service they received a personal invitation to join some of the members for dinner at a nearby country club, and had a lovely time there. Distribution of surplus cheese under the ongoing federal program will be made to qualifying in- The term “wading pool” used in conjunction with reports on the new fountain at Nashville’s Central Park has been taken a bit too literally by local youngsters, several of whom arrived early the day after in­ stallation, equipped with beach towels and snorkels and attired in bathing suits, and commenced to plunge into the several inches of inviting water surrounding the statue. Within a short time one daring lad had climbed to the top of the statue and, swinging from the head of the Four Seasons Girl succeeded in separating it from its base, disrupting the flow of water. Recementing the statue with fiber glass and other repairs by the village crew were necessary to correct the problem and get the damaged fountain back in working order. Village and Chamber of Commerce officials stress that the pool surrounding the fountain is for scenic purposes only and is not intended for swimming or wading. Parental cooperation on this matter is urged. Last week village officials were kept busy policing the park, sending home countless youngsters found splashing in the pool. Most arrived without adult supervision to take a “dip.” Several of the children were repeat offenders, having to be evicted from the fountain several times in the same Your clergyman, beyond anyone else, offers comfort and reassur­ ance to the bereaved family. He establishes with the family and funeral director the desired religious service in accordance with the rites and''customs of his church, and the wishes of the family. He graciously advises on the many details of the formal and graveside service. His services are of inestimable value during this time of grief.

Little Becky Sue Corkwell of Nashville had a dual celebration to mark her birthday, which occurred Aug. 12. Friday evening her parents, Mr. and Mrs. Larry Corkwell of Nashville, took Becky and a friend, Melanie Brenner of Mulliken, to Lansing for dinner at Chuckie Cheese. The next day the Corkwells hosted a picnic party at Gun Lake for Becky and 14 of her young friends. A letter received last week from former local resident Sylvia (Springett) Norton of Olivet commented on our recent Memories story on early local harvests. She wrote: “While reading the Aug. 9 Memory page I saw in Aug. 2, 1881, about a steam threshing machine owned by Stephen Springett going through town. He was my grandfather and I was pleased to see the item. My daughter lives in Maple Grove and passes the News on to me. My grandfather lived north and west of Nash­ ville and also had a sawmill. My uncle George Springett did a great deal of threshing around Woodland, Ver­ montville and Nashville. He also worked the sawmills of Homer Downing and Ward Gribben. My father, John Springett, worked many years in the Lentz Table Factory. We lived (in Nash­ ville) for a long time in the house (just) north of the library. I came to Olivet in 1941 and it seems like home to me now.” Although Mrs. Norton is nearly 80 years old she is manager of the In­ formation and Community Center and volunteers as a receptionist four mornings each week. She added: “I surely enjoy all the Memories pages, especially around the years 1917 and on, but know through my family of many of the others (mentioned from earlier times).” Jean Withey of Kalamo and Judy Oles of Charlotte each lost three and one-half pounds in one week to tie for the title of top weekly weight loss winner when God’s No­ Munch Bunch met Monday at Nashville Baptist Church. An outing to watch the Detroit Tigers play on Tiger Day at Tiger Stadium is set for Saturday, Aug. 27, by the Unique Christians, a singles group at Nashville Baptist Church. The trip will be made by church bus, with departure at 10:30 a.m. Mrs. Jeff (Pam) Frayer of rural Vermontville will be feted at a baby shower Tuesday, Aug. 30.

A Tupperware bridal shower at 7 p.m. tonight, Aug. 23, at the home of Mrs. Millie Carrigan of Lawrence Road will honor Mrs. Kyle (Dyan) Cornish of Nashville, who was married on Aug. 6. One could scarcely believe it by looking at the vehicle, but Gary Neff, 36, of Nash­ ville escaped with only minor injuries when his pickup truck rolled over after colliding with a gravel truck driven by Earl Blake of Nashville on Butler Road Wednesday morning. Police said Blake pulled out of the gravel pit, located about eight miles south of Nash­ ville, in front of the west­ bound Neff vehicle, which rolled over once and landed in an upright position. The Nashville ambulance and fire truck were called to the scene of the accident which was policed by Barry County deputies. Rick and Cathy Vessecchia of Nashville enjoyed a recent 5-day trip to West Virginia to see his family at Fairmont. In addition to visiting the many relatives, the Vessecchais were treated to several homecooked meals featuring delicious Italian cuisine. There is a large Italian community in Fairmont. Senior citizens from Nash­ ville Nutrition Site enjoyed a Monday evening dinner outing at Agnes’ Korner Kitchen in Nashville. Ray Hinckley of Nashville and his grand-niece Jennifer Gutchess of Calabasas, California, were honored at a family birthday picnic Tuesday evening at Charloton Park. Present were Mrs. Ona Hinckley; Mrs. Petie Latta; Mr. and Mrs. Donald Hinckley; Mr. and Mrs. Ray Hinckley; all of Nashville; and Mrs. Gutchess and Gordon daughters of California. The following day, on Jennifer’s birthday, she was the guest of honor at a family gathering at Chuckie Cheese in Lansing. Present for that outing in addition to her mother and sister Ashley, were Mrs. Latta; Mrs. Wayne Gould and children of Nashville; and Mrs. Mary Rose and sons of Lansing. The birthdays of Mrs. Gloria Johncock of Nashville and Mrs. Iris Welton of Middleville were celebrated at a dinner Tuesday evening at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Larry Corkwell of Nashville. Present for the occasion in addition to the Corkwell family were Meredith Dick of Middleville, and Dick Johncock and sons, Chad and Jason, of Nashville. Prior to tallying last week’s contributions, Put­ nam Public Library’s building fund stood at $18,331. Of that amount $9,498 has been received in private contributions, the balance of the fund being federal grant monies retained by the village to be used toward the project of adding a $50,000 Children’s Wing to the present facility. The latest contributions came last week from Marguerite Wilson and Marion Cousineau, and Mr. and Mrs. Max Kelley in memory of Fern Staup; from Larry Filter in memory of Donald J. Green and Arloa Baxter; and from Mr. and Mrs. Douglas DeCamp, Mr. and Mrs. Royce DeMond, Sr., and Mrs. Gretchen Pixley in memory of Robert and Rilla DeCamp. Interestingly, the late Rilla (Varney) DeCamp, whose birthday anniversary falls on Aug. 27, once was employed by Charles and Agnes Putnam, who bequeathed their home for use as Nashville’s library. Recently, Rilla’s daughter Gretchen Pixley recalled for the local history collection at Putnam Library thoughts her mother had shared about the Putnams. “They were very nice people to work for Continued on page 12 PROFESSIONAL BUSINESS DIRECTORY Langham Remodeling Repairs • Additions • Roofs Eavestroughinq • Car Ports Wood Fences * Paneling Porches • Kitchen • Bathrooms LICENSED —INSURED 25 years experience! 517-852-9300 — NASHVILLE — Go curly, go short, or try a new style...

Paint will be furnished by the church, and professionals may be hired to do the extreme upper peaks of the structure, said Kipp, to avoid undue risks to volunteers. The work session starts at 8 a.m. with the serving of coffee and doughnuts at the nearby church. Later in the day, the Ladies Christian Association will prepare and serve a lunch at the church’s Griswold Room for the volunteer workers. Kipp said he believes the work session will conclude about 3 p.m. The academy has played a vital role in Vermontville community life since its construction 137 years ago. In addition to serving as a school for children of the Union colonists who settled the village in 1836, it was the site of religious services until the nearby First Congregational Church was completed in 1864.

Now the academy serves as a local history museum operated under auspices of the Vermontville Historical Society. VHS President Martha Zemke reports that recent renovation of the second floor of the academy has been undertaken with private contributions channeled through the historical society. A new floor has been laid to replace sagging boards of the upper level; wall paneling in­ stalled; and ceilings painted. New carepting, curtains and window shades are to be included in the project.

Nashville locksmith Homer Snow is spearheading the August 27 event, and currently has requests for table reservations for lock enthusiasts from Indiana, Ohio, and Canada, in ad­ dition to Michigan. The two-fold purpose of the show is to display the collections for public viewing and also to allow collectors to buy, sell, or swap locks and keys. Dealers will begin setting up tables at 9 a.m. Saturday, and the public will be ad­ mitted an hour later. The exhibit will close at 5 p.m. Snow, who has been collecting locks for the past eight years, and who now has over 1,300 different padlocks in his collection, will have a display at the show as will his eight-year-old grandson, Tony Snow of Hastings — likely to be the youngest exhibitor there. In addition to a wide range of padlocks, from domestic to foreign makes, Snow has an extensive collection of ignition keys for early autos — including the Model T. One of the oldest padlocks in Snow’s collection has sentimental meaning: it EATON COUNI Y FARM AND HOME CALENDAR August 24-25 - State 4-H Poultry Show & Expo, MSU.

Other eye-catchers in Snow’s extensive display are several Korean padlocks brought to him by his daughter-in-law, Mrs. Robert (Yung Mi) Snow of Hastings from a return visit to her native land a few years ago. The Korean locks are in unusual shapes, such as a curved fish. Symbolic figures also are seen on several cast brass reproduction padlocks from India which Snow has collected. From Mexico, his son, Randy, brought him a large gate padlock in the shape of a small scale violin. Snow believes it to be a reproduction of an antique lock. Many of the padlocks acquired by Snow have been found without keys or combinations, and securing them has been a challenge. In one rather unusual instance, Snow purchased an old, key-less sterling silver padlock at a flea market, then proceeded to find a key that fit it only a few minutes later at a nearby table at the same event. Snow’s interest in locks prompted him to hold a small lock and key exhibit at his home last year, but now he hopes to launch the yearly show on a larger scale. Ignition keys from virtually all early autos of the Model-T era are seen in the colThe public is cordially lection of Homer Snow, Nashville locksmith.

The birthday event in­ cluded a luncheon, flowers, numerous cards and gifts, and a cake made by Serena Goodenough — plus visits from several friends and relatives. “Aunt Mina”, as she is fondly known by all, was honored at a noon luncheon hosted by Mrs. Firster for 11 ladies who have helped take care of Mrs. Barnes in recent years. Relatives present included niece Myrtle Woodruff of Lansing and a niece-in-law, Maxine Lindsea of Middleville. Callers later in the day included three nieces of Mina’s late husband, Arza Barnes: Frieda Laurent, Fern Surine and Beulah Curtis, all of Nashville. “I’m one-hundred-andthree today. Isn’t that awful?” exclaimed the witty Mrs. Barnes, then added jokingly to the reporter: “Maybe you’ll be 103 someday.” Despite the implantation of a heart pacemaker about five years ago, Mrs. Barnes is in good health, though quite hard of hearing. She maintains the same cheerful attitude which, relatives say, has been a strong charac­ teristic all of her life. On her 99th birthday, in a News interview, the spunky lady attributed her longevity to “being happy”. The same holds true today. Mina Harvey was bom August 17,1880, at Van Wert, Ohio, and came to Michigan three or four years later, growing up in this area. Her four brothers and four sisters were all long-lived’: one sister marked her 101st birthday. Mina is now the only surviving member of her immediate family. Mina and her first husband, Clarence Utter, lived at Howard City until his death in 1937, when she returned to Vermontville to reside with the Firsters. She then married Azra Barnes of this area. He died in 1951. Mina never had children of her own, but has many nieces and grand-nieces and grand-nephews in this im­ mediate area plus other relatives in various states. Her hours are spent in writing numerous letters, reading, and enjoying visits from friends and relatives — though her deafness ham­ pers the conversations she would love to have. Her favorite spot is her bed in a room adjacent to the Firster living room, though she is able to get around with the aid of a walker. Wednesday, Mina's room was filled with bouquets of flowers from well-wishers, and she was browsing through a good-sized stack of greeting cards with obvious delight at the happy oc­ casion. Mina Barnes of Vermontville marked her 103rd birthday Wednesday with a spirit as bright and cheery as the flowers she holds. The bouquet was one of several she received along with cards, gifts, and a special cake in honor of the occasion.

Mrs. Eliza Emery of Nash­ ville and Mrs. Irene Gaskill Milk production on Michigan dairy farms during July, at 479 million pounds, was up three percent from the previous month, ac­ cording to the Federal-StateMichigan Agricultural Reporting Service. Milk cow numbers, at 406,000 head, were up 2,000 from June. Milk output per cow averaged 1,180 pounds, up 70 pounds from July, 1981. Milk sold in Michigan during July averaged $13.20 per hundredweight (cwt.), unchanged from a year earlier. This milk price reflects the total value of milk at the dairy plant or receiving station before deductions for hauling costs and the dairy price support assessment are made. These deductions are taken into account when measuring dairy farm production costs. Slaughter cow prices averaged $43.20 per cwt., up three percent from July, 1982. Replacement cow prices averaged $1,100 per head, down $50 from a year ago. Nationally, July milk production totaled 11.9 billion pounds, down one percent from June. Production per cow averaged 1,074 pounds and milk cow numbers averaged 11.1 million head during July. Michigan dairy plants produced five million pounds of butter during June, 1983, down 17 percent from a month earlier. American cheese production reached 2 million pounds, up 11 percent from the previous month. Ice cream output, at 4 million gallons, was up 25 percent from May.

By Steve Reid Tammy Wynette showed why she is known as “the first lady of country music” during her one-show per­ formance Sunday at Sandyland Park. Her second show was canceled due to rain and strong winds. The crowd of approximately 2,000, who were fortunate enough to come to the first show, were treated to a first class performance that made putting up with the rain showers worthwhile. Tammy made her audience of fans feel right at home with her friendly conversation and in­ troduction of songs. She Weddings, Senior, Family PROFESSIONAL PHOTOGRAPHY "Don't Settle For Anything Less" .~-j?r«^ , 374-7337 LAKE ODESSA, MICHIGAN revealed what it was like on the road and a little bit about the 18-people who tour in her two-Silver Eagle buses. On the road 15-20 days a month, Tammy makes the buses as much like home as possible. She told the crowd that one of the buses, both of which have a 20-foot American flag on the side, contains a four-poster canopy bed that Tammy sleeps in. Mother of six children, Tammy also stated that there was a real family atmosphere among her touring group. Threemembers of her back-up band, The Dukes of Country, are brothers-in-law and two of her female back-up singers, in the group called Sunshine, are mother and daughter. Another dimen­ sion to the family at­ mosphere is Tammy’s son­ in-law, John Paul, who is her road manager and her husband and producer, George Richey, who tours with her whenever possible as was the case Sunday. Her fans enjoyed this glimpse of Ms. Wynette's life beyond the stage, and they also enjoyed hearing the songs that she has made famous. She sang “Apart­ ment Number 9,” “I Don’t Want to Play House,” “D-IV-O-R-C-E,” “Making Loye,” “Kids Say the Darndest Things,” and other songs. She saved her biggest hit, “Stand By Your Man,” for her closing number. This song is still the biggest selling song of all time in country music. Opening the show and doing a fine job when rain presented an awkward situation was local duo Linke & McCants. During their second song, a downpour of rain eventually caused a delay due to technical problems. During the delay, after the rain stopped, they took their acoustic guitars up into the stands and serenaded the crowd with such songs as “Rollin’ in My Sweet Baby’s Arms,” “Mountain Dew,” and “I Saw the Light.” they helped make an un­ comfortable delay bearable. Coming August 28, to close Sandyland’s 1983 schedule will be Jerry Lee Lewis, Carl Perkins, Wedsel’s Edsels, and Linke & McCants for a one-show only performance which begins at 2 p.m. Close-Out SALE ...ON...

August 23, 1983 — Page 10 Dried fruits and vegetables taste great and store well Drying fruits and vegetables can be a good alternative to canning and freezing, something homeowners might want to consider as the harvest begins to peak. Though many fruits and vegetables can be dried, those with a low water content dry best. Apples, peaches, pears and strawberries dry very well, as do mushrooms, green peppers, carrots and onions. “Fruit can be easily rehydrated by soaking in water; vegetables can be rehydrated by cooking in boiling water or a pot of soup,” says Penny Ross, Michigan State University Cooperative Extension Service nutrition specialist. The easiest way to dry food is in an electric dehydrater. These cost from $50 to $400, depending their . capacity. Ross recommends pur­ chasing a food dryer for large quantity food drying. It is sometimes possible to dry foods in an oven, but it is time consuming, costly and difficult because ovens are not designed for that use. Air circulation is important to food drying, so the oven door must be propped open and a small fan placed so that it blows into the oven. The temperature for drying food should be between 140 and 160 degrees F. When ovens New Construction«Service*Remodeling •Sewer and Drain Work Halsey Plumbing LARRY HALSEY Licensed Master Plumber Ph. 517-543-6996 do not have temperature settings that low, oven drying is impossible. Ross recommends that persons interested in food drying should buy a book about the practice before investing in a food dryer. “This will help you determine what size dryer to. buy, based on the amount of food you would like to dry,” Ross says. “A good book will outline food preparation techniques, and predrying­ treatment methods, list approximate drying times for various foods and provide suggestions for use and storage.” Most vegetables take from four to five hours to dry, and most fruits take 10 hours or more. Herbs dry well in considerably less time. Some foods require blanching or other treatments before dehydrating. Dried foods should be placed in plastic, airtight bags and then stored in tin cans with lids. They should be used within six months.

Third degree burns are the most serious, involving total destruction of tissue. Third degree burns are caused by prolonged contact with very hot objects or liquids, by open flame or by clothing fires. The skin may appear either white or charred; there may be severe pain or the patient may report very little pain (because nerve endings have been destroyed). Remove clothing but cut away loose clothing so that any clothing which has become stuck to the burn is not disturbed. You cannot treat a third degree burn. Call for medical help or transport the patient to the hospital at once! Second degree burns which involve more than 15 percent of the body (10 percent in children) should be treated as third degree burns and medical attention sought at once; likewise, any second degree burn to the face should receive expert medical attention. Do you know how to summon emergency medical assistance when you travel? It’s a good idea to consult local telephone directories for fire, police or sheriff, and ambulance numbers. Many rural areas aren’t yet on the universal emergency number 911. Write down the numbersand keep them with you.

Here are the three major types of burns, their symp­ toms and how to treat them: First degree gurns are minor burns caused by momentary contact with a hot liquid or object. There is reddening of the skin and some pain. Soak the burn in cool water or run water over it. This not only relieves pain; cool water also removes absorbed heat which could cause further burning of tissues. Covering the burn with a light, clean dressing will keep objects form striking the sensitive burned skin. Don’t cover a burn with any kind of oil, butter or grease. Second degree burns are more serious. They can be identified by a mottled ap­ pearance with deep redness and-or blisters, acMagic act will be companied by more severe featured at pain.

Here’s how how to to deal deal with with typical typical summertime accidents. Minor cuts respond well to washing with soap and water and covering with a sterile bandage. Larger cuts with moderate to heavy bleeding call for steady pressure directly over the wound. This cuts blood flow so that clotting and healing can begin. Once bleeding stops, cover a larger cut with sterile gauze. If a cut is deep, contains foreign matter or was made by a metal object, or if bleeding is profuse, seek emergency medical assistance.

WELFARE ROLLS DECLINE - Michigan’s welfare caseloads dropped again for the second straight month during July as the national economic recovery took hold in Michigan. AFDC caseloads dropped by 605 cases, to 240,420; general assistance (GA) caseloads saw a decline of 695 cases, and there are approximately 4,364 fewer recipients of food stamps from the May figure of 441,754 households. HEALTH DEPARTMENT WARNS OF LEAD POISONING FROM TOYS - The Michigan Department of Public Health has issued a warning to parents about potential harm to their children from lead cast figurines. The threat of lead poisoning exists only if the figurines are chewed and some of the lead is swallowed. If you have small children who are apt to put toys like these figurines in their mouths, extra precautions should be taken. While the threat is minimal if only a small amount of lead is consumed by a child, persistent chewing and swallowing can be quite harmful to your youngster’s health. SUPREME COURT NIXES CAMERA IDEA The Michigan State Supreme Court has ruled that cameras will not be allowed in Michigan courtrooms, following a proposal submitted by the State Bar of Michigan that would have allowed TV cameras and other equipment to be used to film judicial proceedings. The proposal included a one-year trial period that would allow stationary-positioned cameras under limited circumstances. While the U.S. Supreme Court has ruled that the presence of cameras does not infringe on a defendent’s constitutional rights to a fair trial, the state justices, on a 4-3 vote, denied the request. Michigan remains only one of 10 states that does not allow cameras in cour­ trooms. FEDERAL DOLLARS CONTINUE TO AID MICHIGAN Under the federal Emergency Jobs Bill funding, the state recently received $4.35 million for 29 public works projects throughout Michigan that will primarily provide funding for water and sewage projects and other public facilities. The Reagan administration predicts the creation of 500 jobs for skilled workers, as well as improved human health, en­ vironment, and economic development in some areas, MICHIGAN STATE FAIR & OTHER AUGUST EVENTS The Michigan State Fair begins August 26 and runs through September 5 in Detroit.

The example above assumes Soy 44 to be priced at $250 per ton. If Soy 44 is at $300 per ton the advantage would be about 15 percent figured on a per bushed basis and if Soy 44 is at $200 per ton the advantage would be about 11 percent. Wheat also has a higher percentage of calcium' and phosphorus compared to corn and should be con­ sidered when calculating rations. SWINE Wheat should be ground coarsely or rolled for hogs. When ground too finely, it has a tendency to form a pasty mass in the mouth and becomes less palatable. In the table below are suggested swine finishing rations comparing wheat and corn. The rations are balanced on Lycine (protein) at 0,62 percent, calcium at 0.55 percent and phosphorus at 0.45 percent. Corn................................. Wheat......................... Soy 44.............................. Calcium Carbonate........ Dicalcium Phosphate ..... Salt.................................... Vit-Trace Mineral Mix.... CATTLE There is more risk in feeding wheat than in feeding corn to cattle. When wheat is fed at high levels, acidosis and rumen upset may occur, resulting in cattle going off-feed, reduced performance, founder, etc. It is generally recommended that wheat should not make up more than 40 percent of the total ration on a dry matter basis. For best results, wheat should be either rolled or coarsely ground. Extremely find grinding will result in separation of the fines in dry rations, causing reduced intake and increased secondary fermentation in the feedbunk. Whole wheat is consumed well, but is not quite as completely digested as rolled or ground wheat. When cattle are started on wheat, it should be done more slowly than with com. They should be gradually brought up to full feed over a 25- to 30-day period of time. Research has shown sprouted wheat to be essentially equal to sound wheat for feedlot cattle. However, palatability may be a problem, resulting in reduced dry matter intake if sprouted wheat makes up more than 20 percent of the total ration dry matter. Sprouted wheat should be rolled before feeding to cattle. Sprouted wheat may also be ensiled with com silage. When ensiled, it does not have to be rolled. However, no more than about 200 lb. of sprouted wheat dry matter should be added per ton of fresh com silage.

As has been the custom in past years, the queen will be selected along traditional lines of grace and beauty — but her male counterpart will be chosen by less con- ventional means — not by the appearance of his face, but of his legs. This bit of humor was introduced into the royal race last year by the Maple Valley Recreational Development Corp., sponsors of the up­ coming Sept. 16-18 celebration. Proceeds of the king and queen contest and other festival events will help the MVRDC put finishing touches on a community recreational park west of the Main Street business district. Two ball fields, picnic facilities, and bleachers already are in­ stalled at the seven-plus acre site. Future plans by the MVRDC call for a boat launch on the Thornapple Being inducted posthumously Local picked to farmers hall The late Hubert Long of Nashville will be inducted posthumously into the Michigan Farmers Hall of Fame on Monday, Sept.5 during the 5th Annual Prairieville Old Fashioned Farm Days, set for Labor Day weekend. Long is one of 11 farmers from 10 different counties selected for the honor. Long’s wife, Esther, and some of his children plan to be present for the ceremony to be held in conjunction with the festivities on the 100-acre Green Acres Dairy Farm at 7990 Milo Road near Delton, off M-43. Bill Aukerman, who holds the annual event on his farm to raise funds for community organizations, was in­ strumental in establishing the state farmers hall of fame and is spearheading the current drive to raise funds for a building to house it. The 1983 inductees were selected by a committee headed by Carl Guenther of WKZO. Last year, four Barry County farmers were the first to be inducted into the hall of fame. Long, whose 160-acre farm is located northwest of Nash­ ville on Bayne Road, passed away in November 1982. Born in Freeport, he moved to this area in 1935. Long specialized in dairy farming and with a herd of 35 Holsteins earned numerous national and state honors for production and show. “Everyone told him he couldn’t make a go of it (with such a small herd),” remembers his widow, the former Esther Feighner of Nashville. “But he did it (successfully) through management and a good feed program.” Long became the first in Barry County and one of the first six farmers in Michigan to produce a herd average of 600 lbs. of milk. He then proceeded to earn national productions honors in that l The late Hubert Long of Nashville, seen here in a 1960 photo, will be inducted posthumously into the Michigan Farmers Hall of Fame during the 5th Annual Prairieville Old Fashioned Farm Days, Labor Day weekend.

In our August 16 Memories of the Past about early family and school reunions, we used two photos: one of a gathering of a former Barryville school students and another that we identified as a family reunion photo loaned to us by Guy Howell, whose grandmother Laura Howell is second from right in the back row of the picture taken at Cole’s Thornapple Lake resort.. Mrs. Vern (Fern) Hawblitz of o Nashville called us last week to say she has an exact duplicate of the picture and an inscription on the back indicates that it is a reunion of the old Branch school school, though persons in the photo range from babies to senior citizens. Mrs. Hawblitz was able to pick out her husband and several of her in-laws in the picture, and said though they did not attend Branch School they did live near the district. Fern believes that her late husband appears to be about 10 years old in the photo, so thinks it may have been taken about 1908.. In eentaenaout n addition to Mr. and Mrs. Jonas Hawblitz; their son Vern, our caller also spotted Marshalls and Rothaars in the picture. In studying reports on Jonas Hawblitz’ death in the March 29, 1923 issue of The Nashville, News, o we are able to tie those names onto the family which leaves us with a real puzzle. Is it a family or school reunion? Perhaps other readers can shed some light on the subject. When Guy Howell loaned us the photo he said he recognized no one in it except his grandmother, and knew only that it was taken prior to 1917 at Cole’s resort,, a popular spot for local reunions. Incidentally, Mrs. Hawblitz believes that the gentleman in the white shirt standing at the extreme left is John Ketchum, native son of the Barryville area who attended Branch School, later served as school commissioner and went on to become a U.S. congressman.

It was several years after President Grover Cleveland signed an 1894 bill declaring Labor Day a national holiday before the law had much impact on Nashville. Locally, the first Monday in September tended to mean more to the farming com­ munity than to any organized labor movement. The day had simply been observed as an annual festive outing for rural folks. “The farmers’ picnic at Thornapple Lake last Monday was a huge suc­ cess,” reported The Nash­ ville News the first week of September, 1903. “In the raffle of a horse, Mr. Abbott was the winner and in the ladies’ raffle, Mrs. George McWha won the dress suit. In the voting contest for the best housekeeper (resent, Mrs. Peter S. Maurer was the winner by a large majority.” Labor Day came close or the heels of Nashville’s annual Harvest Festival celebration, traditionally held in August during the early 1900s, ad most local folks viewed the September holiday as an opportunity for rest and quiet recreation. “For the kids, Labor Day meant the start of school,” remembers one local senior citizen. “For cottage owners, it meant dashing out to the lake for one last weekend.” Mainly, it signaled the end of summer. Youngsters soon would be back in school and “things would return to normal,” she added. Thornapple Lake, often a summertime holiday haven for Nashville residents, also became the center of local Labor Day activities. The lake shore was a popular spot for picnics, dances and holiday ball games. “The Labor Day celebration at Thornapple Lake Monday was a big success,” noted The News in 1908, “there being a large attendance, and everything passed off in good shape.” The reporter elaborated: “The sports were all carried out as advertised. The Railroad workers may have been early observers of Labor Day, a& they tended to follow holiday patterns established for government workers. Three-man section crews were located in each town along the MCRR (later NYCRR) route. Here, in 1930s, the Nash­ ville and Hastings crews pause for a break with their rail motorcars parked end to end. From left, front, are Hastings crew foreman Lloyd Valentine and Nashville foreman Harold Hess. From left, rear, are Ernie Gold­ en, Chancy Hicks, Bordy Rowlader and Glenn White. When Hess retired after 40 years, Hicks became fore­ man. (Photo loaned, courtesy Wilmag Hess Bogart) Vermontville band furnished splendid music all day, and the dance was liberally patronized until midnight. The ball game was between a picked-up team from Nashville and one from Quimby, and was won by the Nashville boys by a score of 12 to 10.” As official observance of the September holiday became more widespread, a day’s furlough from work became an increasingly accepted practice. “Monday being Labor Day and a legal holiday, the rural (mail) carriers were relieved from their duties for the day,” observed The News in 1910, “so the carriers of Barry and Eaton counties met at Thornapple Lake for a day of rest and recreation.” There is, however, some question whether Labor Day was recognized by private industry in the village at that time. Several present-day senior citizens who had relatives working at the Lente Table Company, Nashville’s largest employer in the early 1900s, could not recall such an occasion. One thing is certain: if workers did observe the holiday then, it was undoubtedly without pay. Industrial “paid holidays”, as we know them today, were many years down the line. Shortly after one early Labor Day, Nashville learned firsthand about labor strikes. One week after the 1906 holiday, discontent arose among workmen on a municipal project to lower a water main across the Thornapple River (to prevent the main from freezing during severe winter weather). “Nashville went through the throes of its first labor strike this week,” revealed The News. “Street Commissioner Bill Woodard was working on the water main lowering job on the river Monday when some if his laborers, who were drawing $2.50 per day, an­ nounced they would quit work unless they were Locally, mail carriers were among the first to receive a day s furlough on Labor Day. In 1910 rural carriers from Barry and Eaton counties celebrated the day with an outing at Thornapple Lake. Seen in this Nashville post office staff photo of that era are, from left, Almon Murray; postmaster Len Feigner, Roy Bassett, Isa Newton, Coy Brumm, unidentified lady, and Henry Glasner. Murray was one of the first four original rural mail carriers out of Nashville. He died in 1939. promised $3.50 per day. “Bill promptly paid them off and pulled his regular workers off the crosswalk job, to finish the river project,” added the writer. “No more has been heard from the strikers.” The following May, Woodard again experienced labor difficulties when laying water mains in the east end of town, but it “didn’t worry Bill much, as he is accustomed to trouble,” observed The News. Trench diggers paid at the rate of $1.50 per day wanted 25 cents more. “About half the men digging the trench went on strike, asking mbre pay,” reported The News. “Bill didn’t have any authority to pay them more and, in consequence, the strikers stayed out and the ditch is being dug without them.” But neither local labor strife nor Nashville’s ob­ servance of Labor Day made much news in the village Action-Ads SWIMMING POOLS: All types.

(tfn) Taken just a week before Labor Day 1925, this August 31 photo shows workers pausing in their labor at the Nashville grist mill, where they apparently are working on an addition to the building started in June of that year by owner Otto B. J. Lass. The man at left has been identified as Adolph Douse, Sr. over succeeding years. However, two early September releases a couple of decades later added special significance to the holiday honoring the working class. Near Labor Day 1931, The News reported with a note of optimism: “A slow but steady upturn of business is expected this fall, according to leading financial publications. The Ford Motor Company has recalled close to 45,000 workers, and some leading economists prophesy that 1931 will see the end of the so-called depression, which now has gripped the land for close to two years.” That cheerful forecast was a bit premature but two years later, Labor Day 1933 brought an encouragng note to Nashville News readers: “Postmaster General James Farley announced on Labor Day that on September 30 the payless furloughs of postal employees will end, because he believes the nation is on the road back to propserity.” A memorable Labor Day, indeed.

Here’s how to share the road with all classes of emergency vehicles...to help them go about their vital business and to make it less likely that one day one of those vehicles must come to your rescue. Unfortunately, laws and traffic arrangements regarding emergency vehicles differ from city to country, from state to state. Some progressive municipalities have systems which electronically give emergency vehicles a continuing series of green lights along their routes-or which cause traffic signals along the route to show red on all sides. For most areas, though, emergency vehicles must pick their way across crowded intersections against red lights, cross traffic and great knows of stopped traffic in their path. ’ In most areas, state law requires motorists to pull to the right curb and come to a full stop when an emergency vehicle is displaying lights and siren. Some areas only call for you to bear right and slow down...but the pullover-and-stop policy is always safer, where traffic permits. For your part, be at­ tentive. The highwayhypnotized driver who never checks his mirrors may not see the lights; the music lover with his forty-watt stereo cranked up full may not hear the sirens. Make sure you’re aware of your driving environment. Most auto-emergency vehicle accidents occur at intersections. Often motorists barrel through a green light without hearing the siren’s wail. Keep your ears open and be prepared to yield to the crossing emergency vehicle. Another prime cause of intersection accidents is the motorist who tries to be to helpful. This knight of the road, stopped at a red light, sees the ambulance coming up behind him and wonders how the ambulance will get through the intersection while he’s stopped in it. So he panics and bolts across against the light or makes a turn from the wrong lane against the light, believing that in so doing he’s helping the ambulance driver. Emergency vehicle drivers are trained to deal with a stopped-up in­ tersection in this fashion: they swing into the empty oncoming traffic lane, cross the intersection, and enter the empty right lane again on the other side. The “helpful” motorist who bolts a light may cause an ac­ cident right in the am­ bulance’s path. By bolting into a left turn from a right lane, the motorist may cross directly in front of the emergency vehicle which has switched into the left­ most lane, and actually cause an accident with the very vehicle he’s trying to help. .In other words, whenever you see the lights and hear the siren, stopping is the fire­ wise thing to do. Emergency drivers are trained to deal with common traffic snarlups. Give them lots of working room by remaining still and predictable.

Sessions, who has golfed for two years and usually plays only once a week, said he “just couldn’t believe it” when he realized that his ball had dropped into the Number 3, par 3, hole. Another golfer on the course spotted the ball as it sank and alerted Sessions, who had driven the ball a distance of 205 yards.

Nashville, Tuesday, August 30, 1983 — Page 8 Lock collectors from 4 states draw crowd to Nashville show by Susan Hinckley The first Southern Michigan Lock and Key Collectors Show staged in Nashville Saturday was rated a success by organizers, who now hope to make it an annual event. “But next year we’ll have to get larger quarters,” commented on of the local exhibitors. Displays were set up by a dozen lock collectors from four states in Nashville’s Community Center building at Putam Park. With over 70 visitors who signed the guest register, the small brick building became a bit congested at times. A good deal of trading and selling of locks and keys took place between collectors Saturday. Locks on exhibit ranged from 1850 models to the contemporary style. Padlocks of various makes, shapes and sizes were attractively displayed for viewing - they ranged from a leg lock once used at Michigan’s Jackson Prison to specially inscribed padlocks used by the U.S. Internal Revenue Service to secure confiscated property. Most of the collectors have acquired their locks and keys over a number of years at flea markets, shows, antique shops, and through trading with other lock enthusiasts. St. Cyril plans picnic St. Cryil’s annual parish picnic has been set for Sunday, Sept. 11 at Maple Grove Township Hall following specially a scheduled 11 a.m. mass at the church. The festivities, beginning at 12:30, include a pig roast, games and prizes for both children and adults, as well SCHOOL IS OPEN! Watch for the kids! as music by Hod Hull. According to parish board member, Debbie Rozell, “Members are urged to attend and give Fr. Pohl a warm welcome to our church and to thank Fr. Herman for his continued support.” Members should bring table service and a dish to pass. Pork sandwiches and beverages will be furnished. No alcoholic beverages will be permitted, according to Rozell.

The plan includes educational op­ portunities, on-the-job training programs and community work experiences. The budget for the approaching fiscal year contains $43 million for both workfare and energy assistance programs, but no definite plans have been made to spend those funds, until now. GAS TAX REVENUES UP - The Michigan Department of Transportation reports that gas tax revenues were up $8.5 million during the second quarter of 1983. The funds are used for highway maintenance and construction. ECONOMIC IMPACT STATEMENT REQUIREMENTS PROPOSED - Legislation will soon be introduced in the Michigan House of Representatives that would require the Senate and House fiscal agencies to prepare economic impact statements on legislation that might have an effect on Michigan’s employment rate. House Bill 4809 would require a detailed explanation of how any legislation might curtail or enhance the state employment rate in the 24­ month period following its enactment. In addition, the bill would require an analysis of the probable construction, expansion, modification or alternation of any structure, equipment or facility owned by the state. U.S. SENATE YOUTH PROGRAM APPLICATIONS Sept. 16 is the deadline for all applications for Michigan’s two delegates to the U.S. Senate Youth Program, which will be conducted in Washington, D.C. Jan. 29-Feb. 5, 1984. To qualify you must be a high school junior or senior and hold an elective office in your school. The two delegates selected will receive an all expense paid trip to the Nation’s Capitol, and a $2,000 college scholarship. Applications are available at most high schools, both public and non public. HIGHER EDUCATION COMMISSION NAMED Governor Blanchard, responding to a request from a number of Republican lawmakers, has appointed 27 people to a commission to study higher education in Mich. The commission was created to determine the extent of duplication of programs, cost-effectiveness of the state’s higher education system, and preparedness for the future. The commission will make recommendations to the Legislature from time to time. LABOR DAY WEEKEND — BACK TO SCHOOL - Labor Day weekend means back to school for many, and the end of summer vacations.

Most of the injuries have been associated with im­ proper use of the slide. The wooden slope was designed for wintertime sledding but is located in a heavily-treed area and rarely retains snow on its survace. Christiansen said the slide needs repair and suggested, instead, tearing it down to salvage the lumber “which is very valuable and can be used by the village.” Trustee Forrest Babcock, chairman of the Putnam Park Board, noted that repairs would be expensive. “It would cost a fortune to fix it up,” he said. President John Hughes agreed, calling the slide “just a liability.” Christiansen will oversee razing of the structure to guarantee optimum salvage of usuable lumber for the village. In other action Thursday, the council agreed to proceed with suits in Barry County Circuit Court against 15 Nashville homeowners Days are numbered for this toboggan slide in Nashville's Putnam Park. Built a dozen years ago, the structure was deemed a liability by village officials Thursday when they gave approval for its razing for salvagable lumber for use by the village. Officials blamed poor dJesiign for the fact that the slide has never been usable for its its intended intended purpose. purpose.

Farmers have not experienced such con­ ditions since 1975, which goes on record as the longest dry spell for the month of July, according to data from the National Weather Service. As a result of damage from continued dry weather conditions, some farmers are expected to cut their corn for sileage in the Corn Belt states of Illinois, Iowa, Indiana, Missouri, and Nebraska. Insured producers are reminded about loss reporting requirements for crops harvested in 1983. Insured producers are required to give notice of probable loss 15 days before harvest. “If damage is not noticed until harvest begins, the producer shall notify the agent immediately and leave representative strips of unharvested acreage intact for Corporation inspection,” accroding to Barbara Cranson, District Director for Federal Crop Insurance. “Strips of unharvested acreage should be 10 feet wide and the entire length of the field, as required by policy provisions,” says Cranson. When damage is suspected, the represen­ tative strips may not be harvested without the consent of the FCIC or the multi-peril company. “Representative strips are necessare to determine whether harvested production is comparable to production in the strips,” says Cranson. To find our more about the services provided by FCIC and multi-peril companies, farmers should contact an authorized crop insurance agent. For a list of agents, check the local ASCS county office. court.” In other business Thur­ sday, the council: -Agreed to advertise for open bids on the village’s insurance coverage, in­ cluding multi-peril, vehicle, workmen’s compensation, and umbrella policy.

According to County Ex­ tension Director, Allen Krizek, green manure crops will increase organic matter content of the soil, and reduce soil erosion. Both factors will help to improve and maintain a soil for gardening purposes. Rye, ryegrass or even wheat can be used as a green manure. Sow rye when a garden crop has been har­ vested and it is too late to grow another. Broadcast rye between the rows of late vegetables slightly before the first killing fall frost. Rye is seeded at the rate of 2 or 3 pounds to 1000 square feet. Stir the seed into the soil with a rake, hand cultivator or harrow. Rye should be plowed or spaded under early in the spring. Wheat can be treated the same as rye. Ryegrass is an excellent soil-improving crop. In most areas of Michigan, ryegrass can be sown between early August and September 15 to allow the grass to become established before Winter. Since it is slow in ger­ minating and slow growing in the ealy stages, it may be planted in the garden without competing with the vegetables. In the fall when all vegetables are mature, the ryegrass under cool temperatures will make maximum growth.

((Maple Valley News photo? by Carolyn Reid) By Steve Reid Singer Carl Perkins was faced with a difficult task at Sandyland Park Sunday. Perkins had been billed to star with Jerry Lee Lewis at Sandyland, but the death last week of Lewis’ wife resulted in Lewis’ subsequent with­ drawal from the show. Perkins found himself having to face a crowd of disappointed fans who had been looking forward all summer to seeing Lewis. Carl told the crowd that just two weeks ago he had been talking to Jerry Lee about the Sandyland date. He stated that Lewis was really looking forward to coming and had said, “We’re going to knock them out in Michigan.” But unfortunately with the tragic death, that pairing did not result. Perkins, on Sunday, showed that he could more than hold his own as a headliner nearly 30 years after his debut on Sun records. Backed by his band, the C.P. Express which included two of his sons, Stan and Gregg, Perkins had folks up and dancing with the first chords of his opening song, “Matchbox.” And for the next 75 minutes, he dished out a healthy portion of the Rockabilly sound that he along with Elvis, Lewis and Johnny Cash had pioneered in the ’50s. “Honey Don’t,” “Daddy Sang Bass,” and “Everybody’s Trying to Be My Baby” were just some of the hits that had the crowd clapping and dancing along. When he closed with his biggest hit, “Blue Suede Shoes,” the fans in at- money’s worth Sunday, In addition to the strong Perkins show, the audience enjoyed fine supporting performances by Wedsel’s Edsels and Linke and McCants. Wedsels Edsels preceded Na’s Bowser. He was ably supported by Bazooka and the Snake on bass. Popular local duo Linke and McCants opened the show. One might be hard Gary Linke on banjo instead of drums. It certainly was an en­ joyable day of music at Sandyland park and a memorable way to end its 1983 season. New varieties, better production make wheat profitable by Roger A. Betz, Ext. Agri. Agent New varieties and im­ proved production techniques make wheat a profitable crop, says Roger A. Betz, Extension Agricultural Agent. The following production recommendations will help assure high yields on your farm. Crop Rotation: Follow a crop rotation with at least two full years between wheat crops to avoid difficulties with root and stem rot disease of wheat. Do not plant wheat after wheat, rye, other fall-sown grains, quackgrass or bromegrass sods or legumegrass sods with lots of grass in them. Continuous cropping to wheat on the same field may result in a 10 to 15 percent or more reduction in yield for the second wheat crop and 50 to 80 percent reduction in the third crop because of a buildup of root and stem rot diseases. Soil Test and Fertilization: Have vour soil tested by a research oriented laboratory and apply the recommended amounts of both lime and fertilizer. Wheat responds well to fertilizer. A 60'bushel crop and the straw will remove 45 pounds of P2O5, 60 pounds of K2O and 95 pounds of Nitrogen per acre. Do not drill in direct contact with the seed more than a total of 100 pounds per acre of plant nutrients (N -I- P2O5 + K2O) for sandy soils and 140 pounds for fine textured soils. 60-80 pounds of Nitrogen applied in the spring is advisable on the varieties Augusta, Frankenmuth and Tecumseh. Others should receive 40-60 pounds of ac­ tual Nitrogen. Selection of Varieties: Many new varieties are being introduced with high yielding potential. In the soft white wheats, Augusta, Frankenmuth and Yorkstar are the three highest yielding for a 6-year average in MSU research plots.

The special celebration will mark the bi­ centennial of the founding of the Methodist Church in America. Morning worship services starting at 9:45 a.m. will be patterned after the old-style format, and will include the singing of many oldtime hymns. Mrs. Richard (Lucy) Martin will serve as soloist. There will be displays of old Bibles and hymnals, and the congregation is urged to dress in clothing of an earlier era. In conjunction with Heritage Sunday, the church will also observe its annual Three Score and Ten Day which yearly honors senior citizens of the church. Chairperson Edna Smith said this is a very ap­ propriate occasion to combine with Heritage Sunday since many of those past age 70 have contributed much to the establishment and maintenance of the present-day church. Car­ nations will be presented to all those attending who are 70 years of age or older. The Nashville United Methodist Church was formed in 1968 when it merged with the local Evangelical United Brethern Church. Methodist roots in Nashville date back to 1866 when Rev. J.H. Richards of Kalamo, an itinerant minister, preached the first sermon in a grist mill erected here by E.M. Mallett and G.W. Johnson. Services were conducted in a log school house until the first frame church was built in 1869 - on the same site where now stands the present-day brick sanctuary completed in 1881 after the first church was damaged by fire. At that time the congregation was known as the Methodist Episcopal. The Evangelical movement in Nashville, which in 1968 became a part of the M.E., dates back to 1886 when the first revival meetings were held in the village hall. Mrs. Smith extends a special invitation to Heritage Sunday activities to those persons who were associated with the former Evangelical, United Brethern and Dressed in attire fitting for Hertiage Sunday, Sept. 11, at Nashville's United Methodist Church are Olith Hamilton (left, back row) and Liz Lynch and their little friends, Christen Ossenheimer (left) and Becky Sue Howard. 19th century costum­ es, old Bibles and hymnals, will be part of the celebration marking the 200th an­ niversary of the founding of the Methodist Church in America. Locally, the Meth­ odist movement dates back to 1866. (Maple Valley News photo by Susan Hinckley) Methodist public is welcome to Following churches.

Maple Valley Athletic Boosters purchase school equipment Work begins on royal float Cindy Arnes (left) and Brenda Stewart began work last Thursday on the "King and Queen of Hearts" float which will carry Nashville's 1983 Harvest Festival royalty in the Sept. 17 parade. This is the second year that the two local women have volunteered their artistic talents to the MVRDC, festival sponsors, by design­ ing and-creating the royal float. In addition to the King and Queen and their court, the float also will hold a special seat for the king candidate whose legs win the "booby prize" in the race for votes.

(Maple (MapleValley ValleyNews Newsphoto photoby bySusan SusanHinckley) Hinckley) by Bobbi Hoefler On August 15th, the Athletic Boosters authorized the purchase of a $2180 Video Tape Machine. The Varsity Club members raised $500 toward this machine by holding their Donkey Basketball Game. Another group of young men answered the request of Lyle and Mary Hokanson to clean and rake 2'/2 acres of their wooded property. Hokansons made a $300 donation of which $200 was put toward the video system. Jerry Reese and Dan Watson super ivsed the following Varsity Club members in that project: Jim Benit, Kevin Brock, Jeff Hamilton, Curt Hartenburg, Chug Maurer, Brad McKee, Gary Reid, Pat Ressiguie, and Jim Simons. Thanks guys! During that meeting, the boosters also paid for over $1,700 worth of Fall and Winter Sports equipment and supplies. Typical Fall expenses include football pants (36 pairs at $15 each), jaw pads (4 doz. cost $100), 10-Wilson basketballs cost $40 ech, 2-ball bags cost $42 and just 12-nylon practice pennies cost $120. Game officials will cost another $1500 for Football and Girls Basketball alone. Winter Sports expenses will be reviewed later. Senior Citizens get your list ready of odd jobs you need done. The Maple Valley Football Team will hold their Help-A-Thon on Sat., Oct. 1 from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. These young men will seek pledges and then work free of charge for our Senior Citizens.

During school Adolph, Jr., was employed in the drug store of Von Furniss, with whom he later became partners before becoming sole owner of the business. Incidentally the workmen’s photo was taken by Lass, who did quie a bit of hobby photography in those days. Also in connection with last week’s story: We noted that local mail carriers were among the first Nashville area people to receive a day’s furlough on Labor Day-as stated in a Nashville News account of 1910. In­ terestingly, we find it was not until 13 years later that the carriers received their first holiday on Christmas: According to a report in the Dec. 20, 1923 issue of The News: “For the first time since the establishment of the rural free delivery system the rural carriers are to have an opportunity to spend the Christmas holiday at home with their families. Heretofore Christmas has been the one national holiday on which they have had to make their regular delivery.” The an­ nouncement went to say that for the benefit of patrons, Postmaster Surine would keep the postoffice open until noon on Christmas day and arrangements would be made to serve all rural route patrons who cared to come to In last week’s Memories about early local ovservances of Labor Day, we used a photo of three men working on an addition to the old Nashville grist mill owned by Otto B. J. Lass, taken on Aug. 31, 1925, ac­ cording to an inscription on the photo. We had been told that the man at left was Adolph Douse, Sr., and mentioned that in our cap­ tion. After it appeared, his son Adolph Douse, Jr., called to say that the fellow on the left was not his father, but himself. His father is in the center of the picture and the third man is Dell White. The younger Douse recalls the occasion when Lass “was getting crowded for time” to finish a cider facility on the north side of the mill and hired Douse, Sr., and White, both ofwhom were employed at Lentz Table Factory at the time, to complete the work. Adolph, Jr., who was still in high school but did odd jobs during the summer, helped out on the mill job.

For the enjoyment of readers of today’s column, we have selected several “school opening” stories which were published in late August or early September issues of The News almost from the time of its inception in 1873. The following ran- dom excerpts, many of which appeared in con­ secutive weekly issues, have been grouped together here by year for the sake of convenience.

Spinal deformities often develop during the years of early adolescence when young people grow very rapidly. If the abnormalities are found in the early stages, they usually can be treated, thereby preventing serious damage. Treatment is simple and more effective when the conditions are detected early. By screening students who are in the years of rapid growth, early detection will be possible. Participation in the program is voluntary. It is hoped that parents will permit their children to take part in the screening program. Signs of scoliosis are found in approximately four percent of young people, but continued follow-up or treatment is needed only in about two percent.

They too, have deep struggles to face, the dif­ ference? Jesus Christ, in­ tegrated into their lives, to offer hope and peace during such times of hardship. “Sand Castles” is also about the four of them together, struggling to be honest in their relationship as friends, and struggling to be honest in how their faith, or lack of it, affects their marriages. “Sand Castles” is about truth, in the sense of who Jesus is and how he wants our lives to be built on solid foundations. Priorities, communication, commitment, bearing one another’s burdens, and the willingness to share Christ’s love with others is at the heart of “Sand Castles”, the movie. “Sand Castles” is the result of Evangelical Films’ efforts in dealing with the needs of struggling families across America. It is also a rare insight into the emotions and struggles of one particular family on the decline. It is the hope and commitment that Jesus Christ offers them.

How did Labor Day roll around so soon? It seems only a few days ago that school was out and then suddenly it is time for our young people to pick up their books again. There will be sighs and regrets that vacation is over, but also the challenge of the unknow that a new school year will bring. Labor Day in itself is a most important holiday in these United States of America. It reminds us of the importance of work and labor and what men and women, through the sweat of their brow, have contributed to the growth and economic well being of this nation. No lasting ac­ complishment or worth is possible without work and dedication. In the vernacular of our time this idea is aptly described in the phrase, “there is no free lunch”! There is also the saying, “if a thing is worth doing it is worth ding well”. It is written in Holy Writ that man should earn his daily bread by the sweat of the brow”. These thoughts all point not only to the necessity of labor but to the dignity and well-being that honest toil brings to the individual. In an economic depression, such as we have been going through, many cannot find jobs. This is devastating to men and women and to their families. It is to be hoped that the economy will continue to improve and more jobs become available. In at time when jobs are hard to come by we realize more and more the im­ portance of labor. I believe that we should give thought to the reason that the first Monday in September each year honors those who labor. Action-Ads SWIMMING POOLS: All types.

Parents will be notified to take their child to a physician or Scoliosis clinic for further evaluation if indicated by the rescreening. Scoliosis Screening is an annual event in our schools. Experience elsewhere shows that after a few years of annual screening, the need for surgery can be eliminated almost entirely.

His father, the late Walter Kent of Nashville, was a local Standard Oil agent from 1944-65. Since 1976, Jerry Kent has been a jobber for Amoco Oil. Headquarters of Kent Oil Company are located at 735 Durkee Street (M-66) at the south edge of Nashville. The Kents acquired the former Mobilgas Pop Shop in Nashville following its closure earlier this year due to bankruptcy of its former owner, Community Oil of Charlotte.

Your cost would be less than % of 1 percent of your yearly fertilizer bill with potential savings in fertilizer costs of many times that-plus likely yield increases by having a properly balanced fer­ tilization program. Soil samping and testing should be asroutineas buying tractor fuelor quality seed. If you are uncertain about proper sampling methods or testing labs, contact the Extension office at 543-2310 or 372-5594. to produce life in a test tube prove?

Do you think I live in a saloon?” No so fast, Mr. and Mrs. Average American. Altogether too many American homes have several “tap rooms”--that is, rooms where a vast horde of electric applicances are connected to one hapless electric outlet by means of those handy little plastic taps. “Tap rooms” are only one sign of the kind of electrical Five? More? Here’s how to calculate how many ap­ pliances are too much for a single outlet. Most household electric circuits are rated 15 amps. Use more power than that and the circuit breaker pops or the fuse blows. As a simple estimating guide, figure that each amp equals about 100 watts. In that case, you can use up to 1500 watts of power on your 15-amp line; fifteen 100-watt lightbuilbs or one 1500-watt space heater or a 1000-watt hair dryer, a 250-watt light bulb and a TV set drawing 250 watts...or any com­ bination of electrical ap­ pliances whose total wattage does not exceed 1500 (in our little estimating exercise). If you’re popping fuses frequently, you’re trying to use more power than a line can provide. If you switch to a higher rate fuse, you’ll be able to draw more power than the line is rated to deliver. Result: the line heats up and perhaps causes an electrical fire. The way to deal with fuses and circuit breakers that keep “popping off” is to redistribute your electrical demand. Figure out which outlets are on which lines and move your appliances around so that demand is foolhardiness that can lead to deadly fire. Then we get involved with another kind of “taps.” The kind that’s played on a bugle. Here are ideas for con­ ducting a quick inspection of the electrical equipment in your home. Taking time to evaluate the way you use electricity and can be a very fire-wise thing to do. First off, how many ap­ pliances do you have tapping into a singel outlet? Two?

Nashville, Tuesday, September 6, 1983 — Page 14 Lions hope to claw way to SMAA championship this year The image of Scott Grimes reaching for the 33-yard miracle touchdown pass is still crystal clear in the mind of Dan Watson. Watson remembers well the touchdown that enabled Pennfield to edge his Maple Valley team 20-16 to claim the first Southern Michigan Athletic Association crown last fall. But 1983 is a new year and one that hopefully can offer Watson new visions. “Sure, you bet I remember that game,” says Watson. “I still wake up sometimes thinking about it. It was a great football game.” Chances are the SMAA title will again be decided by the winner of the Pennfield and Maple Valley game, this year being played in Maple Valley. Watson not sur­ prisingly won’t come right out and admit the Lions can snatch the title from the Panthers. “We’ll be competitive,” says Watson, coming as close to making a prediction as he ever will. Watson, who is beginning his ninth year as Maple Valley’s varsity coach, realizes that with 14 retur­ ning lettermen, his team will be more experienced than Pennfield. Offensively, the team has lost a load of firepower as an all-state end, a 1,000-yard rusher, and the top quar­ terback have all graduated. Left is a trio of senior lineman. Thus Watson will build his offense using Pat Resseguie (5-11, 238), Rob Franks (5-10, 247) and Dale Montague (5-8, 172) as the cornerstones. Watson says the quar­ terback position is very unsettled as seniors Marty Martin (5-10, 152), Scott Everett (5-10,146) and junior Kurt Hartenburg (5-10, 140) fight it out for the starting spot. Martin was a varsity backup signal-caller last year while Hartenburg was the jayvee quarterback. “They are all quarterbacks,” says Watson of the trio. “It’s not like we were starting from scratch.” Watson says the offense should be bolstered by a pair of junior running backs in Gary Reid and Robert Browne. On defense, Watson will look to returnees John Clements (5-5, 149), Chris Barton (6-0, 170), Bill Grinage (5-10, 140), and Jeff Garber (5-6, 185) as well as Resseguie and Franks in the line. Montague was an allSMAA linebacker as a junior and will be joined by holdovers Ron Hull (5-9, 144), and Scott Whitmore (5­ 9, 145). Everett, Martin and Eric Brown (5-9, 138) all saw action in the defensive back­ field last season. Other returning let­ terwinners expected to see plenty of action are Steve Joppie (6-0, 161) at either offensive or defensive end, and Ted Hall (5-11, 167) in both lines. Watson believes the SMAA will be on an uptick in 1983. “On the record, I see Pennfield as the team to beat,” says Watson. “Olivet has a good football tradition, Springfield could give everybody trouble because they are so well-coached, Bellevue can score points, St. Philip has some good people back and it looks like Bronson probably will finish near the bottom. “As for our kids, this is a hard-working team with a tremendous attitude. We’ll be okay.” Come November it all might add up for some new visions for Watson. Front row: John Clements, Scott Joostberns, Robert Browne, Pot Resseguie, Rob Franks, Dale Montague, Chug Maurer, Mike Campeau, Dan Watson. Second row: Steve MacDonald, Steve Gardner, Doug Coleman, Dean Stewart, Kurt Hartenburg, Gary Reid, Ryan Trowbridge. Third row: Mary Martin, Ron Hull, Chris Barton, Terry Hall, Eric Brown, Bill Grinage, Eric Dahlman, Ben Morris. Fourth row: Steve Joppie, Jim Benit, Scott Ever­ ett, Jeff Garber, Todd McMillon, Jess Bahs. Golf team aims at another title Mike Booher has bad news for the rest of the Southern Michigan Athletic Association golf teams. Booher’s Maple Valley team won the SMAA league with a 9-1 record and were also champions in the league meet. And Booher says the Lions are going to be better in 1983. “I think we’ll be better, yes,” says Booher. “We’re a little older, a little bigger and stronger.” Returning to the team are juniors Greg Lenz, Jeff Hamilton, Mark Valdick and Ken Trumble, and senior Kevin Ohm. Lenz was SMAA meet medalist and held the lowest average of anyone in the league last year, while Hamilton and Ohm ranked two and three. Booher doesn’t believe his young team will let down this season after winning the league as basically a sophomore-dominated team. “No, I don’t think so. They all worked pretty hard this summer,” says Booher. He says the team’s goals are to improve last year’s record, win the league, and make it to the state tour­ nament. “I think we we’re going to make it to the state,” says Booher. “We only missed by a few strokes last year.” Booher likes Pennfield, who lost their no. 1 golfer but gained two outstanding frosh, St. Philip and Bronson to challenge Maple Valley. Questions prelude cage season Maple Valley varsity eagers in the front row are (from left) Lynnette Williams,, Beth Starring, Duska Moreawski, Melissa Brenton, Chris Antcliff, and Tammy Corkins. In the back row are (from left) Jeff Starring, assistant coach, Jennie Filter, Tammi Tobias, Carol Lamie, Jamie Carpenter, and Bill Brenton, head coach. by Steve Horton At the moment Maple Valley’s girls basketball team is a question mark. Because of the district’s tight finances, many of the coaches are volunteers. Trouble finding one for basketball gave that sport a late start this year. Bill Brenton, father of one of the players and last year’s JV coach, finally stepped forward and, with the help of high school senior Jeff Starring, has got the season underway for 10 Maple Valley gals. Right now Brenton is busy getting his team ready to play and finding out where the various players best fit in. “I can’t say right now how much certain girls will play,” he said. “We need to have a couple games to see how they perform. Until then we really don’t know. “I’m a first-year coach (with the varsity),” he added. “We’re hopeful of course, the girls have worked hard, but we just don’t know yet what we have or how we’ll do.” One thing that Brenton is fairly certain of is that the league will be tough. The Lions were 2-19 in the Southern Michigan Athletic Association last season and the Maple Valley coach feels the conference is even “more powerful” this time around. “On the all-conference team only two players graduated,” he explained. He sees champion Pennfield and Olivet as both being formidable foes once again. On his own bench Brenton has five lettermen back, but only one — 5-foot-7 senior forward Jennie Filter — played a prominent part last season. Fortunately she was the leading scorer and rebounder on that team. Two of the other returnees — Tammi Tobias and Duska Moreawski — are expected to be more active this time around, stepping to the forefront in place of those departed graduates. Tobias is a 5-foot-ll senior center and Moreawski is a 5foot-4 guard. Also expected to play key roles for Brenton are Lynnette Williams, a 5-foot-3 junior guard up from the JVs, and Jamie Carpenter, a 5-foot-6 senior forward, who is returning to the court after a two-year absence. The other five players will see action in the early games, getting a “baptism by fire” whije Brenton looks things over. Continued to next page— �The Maple Valley News, Nashville, Tuesday, September 6,1983 — Page 15 MV eagers, continued— He has daughter Melissa Brenton, a sophomore for­ ward who he describes as a “good defensive player”; Chris Antcliff, a junior guard up from a junior varsity starting post; Tammy Corkins, a 5-foot-3 senior guard and returning let- terman; Carol Lamie, a 5foot-11 sophomore center and returning letterman; and Beth Starring, a fresh­ man guard. “Because of our late start,” Brenton noted. “We’ll probably play all of them until we get in better (physical) shape and also to see how they do.” Brenton describes his team as short and quick. “We hope they can play defense,” he added, “and we will have to be a patient team if we’re to win. We’re going to have to control the tempo of the game and work the ball around for scoring opportunites.” Maple Valley opens the season Tuesday at PewamoWestphalia, then hosts Thornapple-Kellogg on Thursday.

Sponsoring the Sept. 16-18 event is the Maple Valley Recreational Development Corp., a group of community Volunteers that in the past few years has revived Nash­ ville’s annual festival as a fund-raiser to help build a recreational park along the banks of the Thornapple just west of the Main Street business district. There, on a seven-plus acre site, the MVRDC has constructed ball fields and picnic facilities and plans to add a boat launch and other im­ provements.

(Maple Valley News file photos) Heckers to be grand marshals of Harvest Parade by Susan Hinckley Bill and Mary Hecker, owners of Hecker Agency and the Mulberry Fore golf course in Nashville, have been named Grand Marshals of the 1983 Harvest Festival parade. They were selected last week by the Maple Valley Recreational Development Corp., sponsors of the'Sept. 16-18 festival. The parade is at noon on Saturday, the 17th. MVRDC members, in choosing the Heckers, ex­ pressed their own special gratitude for the roles Bill and Mary played in early establishment of the organization (then known as Riverside Recreational Development Corp.), formed in the mid-1970s to create ball fields and other com­ munity recreational facilities on vacant land west of the Main Street business district. Hecker, modest about his efforts, credits Sena French, last year’s grand marshal, with originating the park idea at a Chamber of Commerce meeting at which both were present. Hecker said he backed Mrs. Fren­ ch’s suggestion and pursued the matter by making numerous trips to Lansing to investigate possible grants and to Grand Rapids to confer with engineers on design of'the proposed park; “We thought we could make something for young people out of all that swamp,” says Hecker. Today, in less than 10 years, the dream has taken very material shape; The seven-plus acre site edging the Thornapple River has been filled-, graded and landscaped, and two. ball diamonds installed along with bleachers, picnic tables, etc. Additional im­ provements, such as a boat launch, are planned. Grant monies have helped. Hecker says it is “real gratifying” to see the results. He and Mary no longer play an active role in Bill and Mary Hecker, chosen as grand marshals of Nashville's 1983 Harvest Festival parade, enjoy a relaxing moment on the deck of the clubhouse at their Mulberry Fore golf course. Also proprietors of Hecker Agency in Nashville, Bill arid Mary were selected for the parade honor in recognition of their contribution to development of recreational park facilities in the village. ■' (Maple Valley News photo by Susan Hinckley) the MVRDC but still are very supportive of the project, as well as to the community as a whole. Each year they sponsor at least one ball team. “Mary and I are pretty dedicated to our com­ munity,” said Bill. “We like to think we put back more than we receive.” Although he is too modest to admit it, it was Hecker’s idea for the MVRDC to revive the old Nashville Harvest Festival as a fund­ raiser as well as an op­ portunity for residents of the community to get together fora good time. The festivals originated in 1906 and with a few exceptions were held annually until the late 1960s, when they were discon­ tinued. The MVRDC has sponsored the festival yearly since 1978, and thanks to that organization it has again become an annual event — now held the third weekend of each September. In past years, Mary has been an active solicitor of merchant support for the festivals, seeking mer­ chandise and money for prizes and promotion of the event. All were very generous, she notes. Remembers one early MVRDC committee mem­ ber: “She used to go up and down the street ‘begging’ money for us to support the festival.” The Heckers remember Nashville’s big centennial celebration in 1969. “Nash­ ville should be really proud of that,” said Mary, noting that small communities usually lose money on centennial events, but Nash­ ville made a $6,000 profit — most of which was Used to develop recreational Grand Marshall on page 3 Saturday’s Grand Parade, which steps off at noon at Putnam Park and marches to Fuller Street athletic field. Brinda Hawkins has charge of the parade. In the event of rain, the talent show will be moved to the Kellogg School auditorium. Cash prizes will be awarded to the winning talent acts. Saturday’s events start with the judging at 10 a.m. of the traditional harvest produce at the Masonic Temple. Contest chairperson Lois Elliston will be on hand to register entries in six categories (largest pum­ pkin, largest sunflower in diameter of face, most unusual produce, best fresh or dried floral arrangement and best of show) between 5 and 6 p.m. Friday. Cash prizes and ribbons will be awarded and the winner in the pumpkin category will have his or her name in­ scribed on the perpetual plaque displayed by the MVRDC. A children’s pet show will be another 10 a.m. highlight Saturday. Registration and payment of a 50-cent entry fee must be made by 9:30 a.m. at the Maple Street stage where the show will be conducted. Awards will be made in six categories: best dressed pet, cutest, ugliest, most unusual, smallest and largest. Chairperson Ruth Hughes asks that children please not bring animals that are nervous, dangerous, or difficult to handle. Immediately following the parade, at about 12:30 p.m., Nashville’s first annual chile cook-off will be held at the Maple Street stage. Local chefs are" asked to bring a batch of their homemade chile to the stage in a Crock­ pot or other heat-holding unit, along with a copy of their recipe. Judging will be done there, but pre­ registration is necessary. Cook-off contestants must register before Sept. 15 at Village Hall and pay a $1 entry fee.

Memembers of that party, during thejr Friday to Tuesday stay, enjbyed side trips into Canada; to the “Soo” locks where they saw a Japanese freighter carrying 14,000 tons of wheat;' to the'upper and lower Tahquamenon Falls; to a St. Ignace art show; and to Lake Michigan where en route they spotted a rare eagle’s nest. Another phenomenal sight was the number of swimmers in the normally-frigid waters of Lake Superior-a common occurrance this summer due to our unusually hot weather. Among the Nashville folks crossing the bridge were several from the United Methodist Church - some of them also making the “Walk for Hunger.” The outing was organized by Debbie Cooley. Others in the weekend outing included Mr. and Mrs. Tom Taylor and children and her mother, Jean (Smith) Jensen of Jackson; Mr. and Mrs. Jerry Reese and children and her parents, Mr. and Mrs. Melvin Norbert of Pontiac; Mr. and Mrs. Ron Rosin and children; Mr. and Mrs. John Bahs and children; Mr. and Mrs. Carl Bahs; Mr. and Mrs. Stan Graham and son; Mr. and Mrs. Donald Blakely; Mr. and Mrs. Steve Slag and son; Mr. and Mrs. George Swan; Mr. and Mrs. Ed Smith; Mr. and Mrs. Al Reynolds and children; and Mr. and Mrs. John Page and her brother.

The 5-mile hike across the span has become a popular attraction in recent years but ths year was a sell-out. Old “pros” like Gretchen Pixley of Nashville (making her 12th annual crossing) and her friend Margaret Avery of Bellevue (her 11th) and the Jerry Terpening family of Nashville (their 9th) report waiting from one to two hours instead of the usual 10 to 15 minutes for the bus. (Hikers are bussed one way and walk back.) The crush of people was noticeable everywhere. Mrs. Terpening said this year’s hike was especially “exciting and beautiful” because of the short-sleeve weather. A strong headwind slowed their time a bit - down to one hour and 45 minutes, for the walk. Mrs. Pixley and Mrs. Avery, who made their jaunt a “Walk for Hunger” to collect sponsor pledges for a United Methodist program for relief of world hunger, took about an hour and a half to cross the bridge. Accompanying Jerry and Judy Terpening and children Robin, Bryan, Renee, and Eric, were Mrs. Pat Eriddle and children Jim, Bryan and Ginger of Woodland; Scott Sears and Lisa Brown of Nashville; Pat, Dora and Jo Ann Terpening of Hastings; and Viola and The phrase, "people who need people" most poignantly expresses the need of the bereaved family. 1They deeply need the relativesi, friends, and associates who share their grief and give support by their presence at the funeral visitation and service, and thereafter.

If so, please let us know. The “Walk for Hunger” will continue in another United Methodist outing planned for 2 p.m. Sunday, Sept. 18. Starting at the church the walkers will hike out M-66 to South Clark (at Three Bridges),, then south to Cloverdale Road and east to Curtis - ending at the Joe Andrews place for refresh­ ments and swimming. The 6­ mile journey will raise funds for relief of world hunger through sponsor pledges for miles completed by each individual walker. Mr. and Mrs. Gaylord Gray of Nashville recently celebrated their Golden wedding anniversary with a family dinner at their home. The event was hosted by their children, Jerry Gray of Dowling and Judy Loy of Charlotte, and their families.

Rick Roberts, 19, of 9415 Bivens Road, Nashville, said his Honda cycle sustained serious damage and was “not driveable” following the mishap at the in­ tersection of Reed and Lentz streets. The auto incurred a smashed rear fender. The cycle collided with a ‘71 Oldsmobile Cutlass driven by Ammie Valdick, 74, of 371 S. Main Street, Vermontville.

Writing about this most poignant and recent tragedy is in no way intended to ignore, or to minimize, similiar tragic events that have occured in our com­ munity. But this one has a difference. In previous ones Paul and Frieda Fisher were the ones who brought so much help and comfort to the bereaved families. Their services were always con­ ducted with such dignity, care and compassion that the grieving received comfort. I well remember when my aged mother was widowed for the second time in her life; Paul's very kindness and concern meant so much to her. Paul has had problems of health for a goodly number of years. Yet when death came to people in the community he always gave of the best of himself and his own strength to aid and to comfort others. Now it is our turn to extend to the entire Fisher family our own love, comfort and condolences to those who have given so much of these to others. We shall let them know that love and friend­ ship begets love and friend­ ship. We shall all be reminded that a great, loving God knows and cares about His suffering children. All, for the asking, may know this comfort. Edgar Fleetham Country Living Day set COUNTRY LIVING DAY in Eaton Rapids, the friendly island city, Sept. 17.

(Maple Valley News photo by Susan Hinckley) Nashville property owner gets ultimatum to fill open basement by Susan Hinckley iWig ^K’aoWmfc wreirj; *.... In..... .K .jj| « ... JH EH ..M M xe ■he. a K " MpiW ifrhhOtf l]jf it 1 I .4 4 L«M LM urimllewillbe^* The owner of property at 500 Sherman Street, Nash­ ville, will be given until October 1 to fill in an open basement on that site, or the village will do the job for him and add the cost to his taxes, decided the Nashville council at their regular meeting Thursday. A letter will be sent to Ray Boise of 4610 Curtis Rod, advising him of the ultimatum. Village officials said they had been trying for more than a year to get the site cleaned up. A house at that location burned several years ago. Village Zoning Administrator Thomas Taylor told the council that he had made repeated at­ tempts to get Boise to clean up the lot, which Village President John Hughes labeled “an eyesore and a hazard.” Hughes estimates the cost to the village — if Boise does not act — will run between $300 and $500 to fill and level the site. That amount will be assessed as a lien against the property which must be settled before the land can be sold or transferred. “We’re not going to (be able to) collect it right now, but we will later with in­ terest,” said Hughes. He noted that while Boise had cleaned up the lot “a bit” by mowing it in the spring, he “has failed every deadline,” including the latest of August 15, to level and fill the stone-wall basement. Taylor suggested that if the village failed to act it might be held liable for in­ juries at the site due to negligence in enforcing Nashville’s zoning or­ dinance, which mandates clean-up of hazardous properties. In other business Thur­ sday, the council: — Approved repairs to Putnam Public Library which include cementing a crumbling foundation wall; replacing steps on the south side of the building; and scraping and repainting trim work and the porch deck. — Confirmed Hughes’ appointments of Ronald Horn to the village Zoning Board of Appeals and Thomas Frith to the Nash­ ville Planning Commission. Hughes noted that each board still lacks an ad­ ditional member to bring it to full strength. — Cast a tie vote, broken in the affirmative by President Hughes, to pay “under protest” $2,733 owed to Williams & Works, engineers on Nashville’s recent $4.8 million sewer expansion project. Some council members had objected to the latest billings from the company due to dissatisfaction with their handling of some of the final phases of the contract, and had refused approval of the bills when they were presented for payment last month. Band Boosters start fund-raising The Maple Valley Band Boosters have started a campaign to raise funds for new uniforms for the senior high school band. “This will be an expensive project estimated at $11,000” organizers said. ‘‘The present uniforms were purchased approximately 20 years ago.” The band boosters have placed canisters in the stores for these donations around Nashville and Vermontville. Any donations from any individual or service groups would be greatly apprecieated. If there are any questions, then any of the band booster officers can be contacted. They include - Jerry and Judy Terpening, 852-1697; Karla Hale, 543-4531; Norma Woodbury, 726-1349; Nancy Carl, 852-1919; and Diana Williams, 852-9461. 8 a.m. - 7 p.m....

Tuesday September 13, 1983 — Page 10 Village of Nashville MINUTES of REGULAR MEETING August 24, 1983 When fire strikes at night, there'* no time to “ad lib.*’ Every family member must know what to do to save hi* or her own life, and do it Making sure that all family members--even small children-- know what to do in a fire is the province of home escape planning. Making sure that, when the time comes, each family member uses that knowledge and displays appropriate escape behavior is the province of the home fire drill. You have smoke detector? Good. Sleep with all bedroom doors closed tightly? Great. Are there two ways out of every sleeping room­ emergency ladders in second floor rooms, if necessary? Excellent. Do all family members know to crawl to the door and feel it, escape through the window if the door feels hot, and meet at a pre-arranged place? Fabulous. BUT- and this is a big but­ in a real fire emergency, full of noise and smoke and heat, it’s easy to forget what you know. Home fire escape plans must be reinforced by frequent, unpredictable drills. Presumably, each member of your family was present when you drafted your home escape plan and each has used the escape equipment provided in his or her room at least once. But why not, late some night, hit the test button on your smoke detector and see what happens? If you see anything Jess than smooth execution of your home escape plan by every family member, you’ll be able to go over it latercritiquing performance and strengthening the weak points. Real fires seldom give you a chance like that. Will the six-year-old hide under the bed instead of crawling to safety (Keeping close to the floor, where the best air is)? Will the teenager be able to open that window you recently repainted, to deploy the escape ladder? It’s better to answer questions like this at a time when lives are not at stake than to find out about Child Care VERMONTVILLE AREA By the Week, Days or • Evenings.

Plan to conduct home exit drills frequently at different times of day or night, at varying intervals. Make your tests as unpredictable as fire itself, and remember the goals of home escape planning: 1. Provide positive fire detection (a smoke detector) and two ways out of every room (door plus window). 2. CRAWL wherever you go if smoke is present. Feel the door before opening; if it’s warm or hot, don’t open it. Exit through the window instead. 3. Have all family mem­ bers meet at a specific site for nose counting; call the fire department from a phone outside the burning building, after everyone is out.

STATE LICENSE NO. 1612 The mistake-plagued Maple Valley football team opened its season last Friday with a 13-0 loss to Fowler. The game marked the second straight season that Fowler had shut out the Lions in a season opener. Fowler' won last year 18-0. Trailing only 7-0 in the second quarter, the Lions squandered three scoring opportunies. They couldn't mount any serious scoring threats in the second half. Fowler scored the first time it had the ball after a 72yard, 10-play drive. Tim Simon climaxed the drive on a 21-yard run. Bob Simon kicked the extra point. Maple Valley’s first op­ portunity to tie the game came when Ryan Trowbridge recovered a fumble on the 11-yard line. But on the next play Fowler intercepted a tipped pass in the end zone. But that was only the start of Maple Valley’s woes. The Lions recovered another fumble at the 24 and promptly moved the ball to the 12. But another in­ terception in the end zone killed that scoring threat. Strike three came late in the second quarter when BOWHUNTERS!

Fowler defeated the Lions 13-0 in the football opener for both schools. Fowler also shut-out Maple Valley in last year's opener. (Maple Valley News photos) Maple Valley bounced on a loose ball at the 40-yard line. But this time the clock ran out on the Lions and they trailed 7-0 at the half. “The key to the whole game,” said Lion coach Dan Watson, “was being down there and not scoring.” Fowler scored for the second and last time with 2:38 left in the final quarter. The Eagles drove 89-yards in 21 plays keeping the ball for nearly 12 minutes. Simon polished off the drive with a one-yard run and Fowler had a 13-0 win. Offensively, Watson was not all that pleased with 63 yards rushing and 65 more passing. “I was real disapointed,” he said. “We have what I consider an experienced line and some quick backs. But we couldn’t break them loose.” Watson said four interceptions all but killed his team. “But the first two in­ terceptions in the end zone were catchable balls,” said Watson. “Overall I guess I was JV's bow to Fowler Maple Valley JVs played a good game at Fowler but a few mistakes hurt them in their first game of the season. Fowler scored first in the second quarter on a pass play. Maple Valley stopped the extra point and Fowler led 6 to 0. Maple Valley’s first score was set up on a 53 yard punt by Frank James which rolled dead on Fowler’s one yard line. On the next play, Glenn Ewing and three other Lions tackled Fowler in the end zone to make the score 6 to 2. On Maple Valley’s next series, Mark Martin com­ pleted a pass to Jim Higdon for a 41 touchdown. Adam Brumm kicked the extra point, with Scott Villanueva snapping and Mark Martin holding the halftime score, now Maple Valley 9 and Fowler 6. The second half touchdown by Fowler was set up by a 47 return of a Maple Valley fumble to the third yard line. They scored on a pass play to take a 12 to 9 lead. Maple Valley had one goal line stand to keep the score at 12 to 9.

Vol. 112 - No. 13 - Tuesday. September 20, 1983 Crowds enjoy Harvest Festivities held in Nashville by Susan Hinckley Rain opened and closed the 1983 chapter of Nashville’s annual Harvest Festival but in between, sunshine was plentiful - and the event was rated a success thanks to the untiring efforts of volun­ teers, the support of local merchants and business people, and the interest of residents and visitors. While Friday brought clouds and buckets of rain, Craig Hamilton scrambled in the Treasure Hunt strawstack sponsored by the Maple Valley Chapter of National Honor Society. Craig emerged a winner — finding a tiny vial entitling him to a $5 gift certificate at Mace Pharmacy. Merchants donated a number of prizes for the event. skies and cleared suf­ ficiently by evening to permit staging the traditional open-air talent show on Maple Street. Rains catme again early Sunday morning - and again later during the fireworks finale, but Saturday was nearly perfect ~ mostly sunny and near 70. The annual turkey supper at the United Methodist Church again served as the “kick-off” of the festival. Hordes of hungry people flocked there to feast on a sumptious meal of turkey and trimmings, commencing at 4:30 p.m. Friday. Dedication of the new Central Park fountain followed, with Chamber of Commerce President Judy Quantrell, Village President John Hughes, and others taking part in the ceremonies. Highlight of Friday activities was the announcement by talent show emcee Ahmo Jordan that Margaret Bailey, candidate of Dads’ Post, VFW 8260, had been chosen as 1983 Harvest Bill and Mary Hecker, as grand marshals of the parade, rode in the grand style in an antique auto driven by Randy Furlong.

School Board sets tax levy The Maple Valley Board of Education has approved a millage levy for 1983 at 25.01 mills for operations and 1.20 mills for debt retirement. The operating levy in­ cludes an additional rate of .2151 mills more than last year. Total operating millage includes 16.71 mills from extra voted millage which is expected to generate $964,686.49 and 8.3 allocated mills which will yield $479,168.04. The 1.20 mills for debt retirement will total $69,096.55. Also at its Sept. 14 meeting, the board accepted an offer from Michigan National Bank of Charlotte to loan Maple Valley Schools $525,000 at an interest rate that will be 70 percent of the prime rate at the time of borrowing. The school will borrow the money as necessary when cash flow becomes a problem. Superintendent Carroll Wolff told the board that there has been no further progress with non-teaching groups regarding a contract settlement. There will continue to be further meetings and a meeting also will be scheduled with board negotiatiors to try to settle the contracts. No progress has been made in settling the ad­ ministrator contract agreement either. Wolff advised the board that the Maple Valley Education Association has filed a grievance about the reduction of three staff members in relationship to the master contract. The staff was reduced by two in the elementary area and by one in the junior-senior high school. The association feels that the matter should have been discussed with them prior to when the reduction was made, said Wolff. In other business, the board: —Approved teaching contracts for Therese Lake to teach special education at the junior-senior high school at a contract amount of $12,915; and a contract for Marjorie Wolff to substitute for Melanie Garlinger from Aug. 29. through Oct. 14 at a contract salary of $3,425.50. —Approved Jerry Reese as a JV Girl’s Basketball coach at a salary of $1,367; and Peggy Fisher as seventh grade girl’s basketball coach as a volunteer. —Accepted a bid of $3,903.72 from Farm Bureau Insurance Co. to cover in­ surance for busses and school vehicles plus tractors. SCHOOL BOARD cont. page 18 Please help fight childhood diseases join the St. Jude Bike-A-Thon set for Sept. 24 Bike-a-thon chairman Diane Haeck today asked Vermontville residents to participate in the St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital “Wheels-for-life” Bike-a-thon to be held Sept. 24 at Maple Valley Football Field at Fuller Street, Nash­ ville, from 9 am. to 12 noon. Volunteer workers and riders are needed for the Bike-a-thon to raise funds for the world-famous research center and its battle against childhood cancer and other catastophic childhood diseases. Ms. Haeck said this year’s ride is being dedicated to Terry, a leukemia patient at St. Jude. “By riding for Terry, we’ll really be helping all sticken children since research is the only way these illnesses can be conquered,” Ms. Haeck said. “We’re looking for people who will contribute some of their time and energy to help children live-. We really need bike riders, since they are the ones who can make this Bike-a-thon successful”. In the Bike-a-thon, riders enlist sponsors who donate a sum for each mile com­ pleted. Riders who raise $25 will receive a St. Jude Tshirt, and those raising $75 will receive a barrel tote bag. Sponsor forms are available at Maplewood School and Kent’s Standard Station in Vermontville. “You can put your muscles to work for a child’s life in this Bike-a-thon” Ms. Haeck said. “We need every bike and every rider”. Interested persons can contact Diane Haeck, 726­ 1113 or JoeAnn Nehmer, 726­ 1019. St. Jude Hospital was founded by entertainer Danny Thomas-, and operates primarily from public contributions. �The Maple Valley News, Nashville, Tuesday, September 20, 1983 — Page 2 Nashville News Big “doings!’’ in Nashville this past weekends* Thge Harvest Festival activities brought out residents and a good number of visitors who enjoyed a variety of “fun” events. As usual, the festival also served as a homecoming for many former residents — a good time to visit friends and relatives and greet acquaintances. The com­ munity owes a debt of ap­ preciation to the hard­ working MVRDC crew and other dedicated volunteers who do so much to guarantee a successful festival year after year. Many are already talking about plans for the 1984 event. Former local residents Gene and Bonnie (Dahm) Wyant of near Riverton, Wyoming arrived in Nash­ ville Thursday in time for the festival — and also to await the arrival of their seventh grandchild. At Friday evening’s talent show, Mrs. Wyant was awarded a bouquet in honor of being the person who traveled the greatest distance to attend. Latest contributions to Putnam Public Library’s building fund came last week in memory of Villa OlinMeyers from May Smith and family and from Mr. and Mrs. Marvin Laurie; in memory of Mildred Flan­ nery Reineke by Nate and La Duska Sheldon; and from Bunny and Roger Shaw. Donations to the fund will help add a proposed $50,000 Children’s Wing to the present facility. Con­ tributions may be made at the library or mailed to Post Office Box C, Nashville, MI 49073. Names of contributors and of those designated in memorials will be listed on special scrolls to be displayed in the new ad­ dition. Receipts will be issued for all direct donations.

It was the first time in 40 years that Howell has been back to Nashville, and he really enjoyed reminiscing with the old friends he found still living here. He was ac­ companied on the trip by his wife, Florence, and her sister. Ivy Hardman. In addition to touring the “old hometown”, Howell said they also enjoyed a number of other outings in this area, including touring the Kellogg Company; visiting the Gilmore Auto Museum near Richland; the Michigan Space enter at Jackson; the North American Challenge Cup hot-air balloon event in Battle Creek; Bowens Mills at Yankee Springs, etc. They also made a trip to the Shipshewana flea mart in Indiana and stopped at an Amish cheese factory there. En route home, the Howells and Miss Hardman went by way of Alabama where he still has relatives living. There they were honored by a family reunion with about 80 kinsfolks present. After two weeks in Alabama, the visitors headed for Oklahoma to see the Howells’ son and family who live there. Guy Howell wrote that when they arrived in Nash­ ville on their recent visit, “I didn’t recognize anything, but the longer I stayed, the more places I recalled and a lot of (the houses) I could recall who lived in them when I lived'there. The old mill and the schoolhouse where I went are gone but the schoolhouse (Kellogg addition) I helped build is still there.” During most of his youthful days here, Howell’s family lived at 716 Reed Street. His parents were the late Ransom and Florence Howell. HOME BUILT IN 1982: On 37% acres near Vermontville. (18 acres woods — 17 acres tillable).

Today's column features old Harvest Festival photos which give on even earlier glimpse of that celebration — which became a local tradition starting in 1906.) Balloon ascensions were popular attractions at Nashville Harvest Festivals for a number of years. During the 1906 celebration, four lift-offs thrilled spectators and helped get the annual event "off the ground. Salted peanuts, cracker jack,, iice cream and cigars were offered at concession stands on the Main Street midway in this early era. Note the lone spectator watching the lift-off from his perch atop Munroe’s Star clothing store(now the sough portion of Kelley s.) Most Nashville merchants entered floats in early festival parades. Here, John Ackett stands beside his meat market float. In the driver's seat are Vern Ackett and his wife. The photo is dated 1909. Can you identify anyone on this early float? Occupants and location are unknown, but the photo's owner is certain it is from a Nashville Harvest Festival. The baby-faced driver looks a bit like a top-hatted leprechaun. There also is a small child seated between the man and woman in the front seat of the buggy. In the 1911 Harvest Festival parade, Rothhaar & Son won first prize for the most beautiful entry, and L. E. Pratt's entry took the prize as most comical. However, the News account of the parade said the entry of Barker the Baker (pictured here) pushed the Pratt float hard for honors and had the crowd along Main Street in stitches with the antics of the characters onboard. Some are dressed in feminine attire, but all are men. From left are: Otis Gokay, William Mater, Robert Messimer, Leon Partridge, Cleve Strow, Clarence Mater, Marvin Sheldon, Ernest Baker, Frank Purchis, Jesse Terbell and Fred Hire. Nashville has always loved a parade. The 1911 Harvest Festival featured a gala Par°de each °f the 2-day event, and it was comprised of no less than 27 colorful 'loafs.

September 20, 1983 — Page 5 Survival Flight to give orientation to Charlotte hospital staff On Sept. 22, University Hospital’s Air Ambulance (Survival Flight) will land at Hayes Green Beach Memorial Hospital to take part in activities marking the observance of Emergency Medicine Week. The presentation includes on orientation program designed for area emergency health officials. Hayes Green Beach Memorial Hospital, in conjunction with Survival Flight representatives, have planned this demonstration to inform local hospitals, police and fire agencies, civil defense representatives, and area ambulance services of Survival flight’s capabilities as well as the process used to obtain air ambulance assistance. Survival flight is a fully equipped and staff airborne emergency medical service for the transport of critically ill or injured patients. Survival Flight is more than just a helicopter. It is a team of specially trained flight nurses, physicians, and othter technical specialities. Survival Flight will be used to transport patients either between hospitals such as Hayes Green Beach and the University of Michigan or transport patients from accidents or disaster scenes to ap­ propriate hospital facilities. It is ideal for the transport of high risk infants, seriously ill adults and children, women with problem pregnancies and organ transplants. One of the major benefits to citizens in the Eaton County area is that Survival Flight is available within twenty (20) minutes and allows area ambulance Remarkable new hearing aid introduced by Beltane services to remain completely available for other serious emergencies which reduces “out of service” -time and helps maintain the continuity of medical ser­ vices. Charlotte Emergency Medical Services is for­ tunate to have the op­ portunity of requesting an emergency air ambulance service to assist in the medical care and tran- sporlitation of critical care patients in the community. Severe situations such as accidents, multiple casualties, or a group of people that were servely burned, are just a few reasons that the Paramedics from Charlotte Emergency Medical Service may request the assistance of Survival Flight.

Maple Valley used a balanced offense and a consistant defense to defeat the host Wildcats. The Lions scored in the first quarter after a 33 yard punt return by Ryan Trowbridge put the ball on the Lakeview 45 yard line. Marty Martin went the final 30 yards for the touch­ down when he slanted off tackle, broke to the outside and outran the Lakeview defense. Scott Everett booted the extra point and the Lions had a 7-0 lead. The remainder of the half saw Maple Vally inside the 15 yard line three more times, but they were unable to score, and the half ended 7-0. Lakeview made its deepest penetration into Lion territory in the second half, moving across mid-field twice to the Lion 40 yard line. But Maple Valley’s defense held, and following an in­ tercepted pass by Chris Barton, Marty Marfin got his second touchdown of the night. This one came on a 29 yard pass from Scott Everett, Gary Reid kicked the po’nt and the score was 144 when Marty then in­ tercepted a Lakeview pass at their 37 yard line. The Lions quickly moved in to score again on a 29 yard run by SAVE on.. Robert Browne.

Downtown Nashville �The Maple Valley News, Nashville, Tuesday, September 20, 1983 — Page 9 Nashville man sinks hole-in-one at Mulberry Fore Golf Course TIMjr w by Susan Hinckley Since his retirement in April from Lake Odessa Machine Products, Bruce Brumm of Nashville has devoted more time to golfing — but he was totally sur­ prised by an unexpected and exciting event during a game Wednesday evening at Mulberry Fore. He scored a hole-in-one while playing in a threesome with Matt Silvas of Charlotte and Isabelle Pfaff of Nash­ ville. Silvas witnessed Brumm’s ball sinking into the cup on the par-3 Number Three hole. Brumm had driven the ball a distance of 205 yards. Hole Three is a “lucky” one at Mulberry Fore, it seems — as Jerry Sessions of Nashville sunk a hole-in-one at the same spot in league play on August 22. Brumm is the sixth golfer to score a hole-in-one at Mulberry Fore since the nine-hole course with two practice greens opened on the north edge ofNashville in 1980. While Brumm’s is the second hole-in-one at Mulberry Fore this season, not a single one was scored there last year. Brumm’s name now will be entered in a national contest sponsored by golfing equipment companeswc equpmen companies which annually award a golfing weekend to the lucky winner whose name is drawn from a pool of hole-in-one golfers from across the country. Eaton County 4-H leaders attend Horse Galaxy clinic Doug, Nola and Kim Buck, Sharon Powell and Bill Flower, all of Charlotte; Dave and Terrie Kosbar and Karen Worthington of Grand Ledge; and Barry and Garret Madry of Bellevue were invited to participate in the fall 4-H Horse Galaxy meeting Sept. 17-18. The Eaton County residents joined other 1983-84 Horse Developmental Committee and subcomittee members at the conference at Kettunen Center, the state’s leadership training facility in Tustin. “The purpose of the meeting was to bring together Extension 4-H youth agents, program assistants, and adult and teen horse leaders who are members of the committee to discuss policies of the state 4-H horse program and plan horse events,” says Nancy D. Thelen, Eaton County 4-H youth agent. The conference also gave 4-H horse leaders a chance to compare county programs and share their experiences in an effort to strengthen the Michigan 4-H horse program. Subcomittee members evaluated the past year’s programs and reviewed and developed plans for the coming year’s events. The workshop was made possible by grants from the Anderson Foundation of Maumee, Ohio, and Sparta State Bank through the Michigan 4-H Foundation. For more information about the horse conference or other 4-H activities, contact Thelen at the Eaton County Cooperative Ex­ tension Service office, or call 543-2310 or 372-5594.

Nashville, Tuesday, September 20, 1983 — Page 10 Harvest Festival coverage Continued from front page— Maple Valley News publisher Fred Jacobs disguised as a chicken; Nashville Brownies and Girl Scouts; several clowns; the Purple Majesties, a baton twirling corps from Corn­ stock; Justin Buggies; Maple Valley Implement; a Belgian draft team from Clement’s Old Timers Lane; the Nashville Fire and Ambulance departments; local senior citizens; the Barry County Medical Care Facility; Barry County Transit bus; and many others too numerous to mention. Following the parade, festival-goers flocked to local eateries, the “ox” roast in Central Park, or various food wagons to satisfy their hunger. A few stopped by the chili cook-off on Maple Street and sampled the entries following official judging which decreed that Jan Cooper of Nashville was winner of the First Annual Nashville Chili Cook-off. From viewing produce including the prize-winning 149-lb. pumplin grown by Arnold DeGroot of Olivet and floral exhibits at the Masonic Temple to browsing and buying from a multitude of arts and crafts tables in Central Park, there was plenty to do. At Putnam Public Library, the Friends group did a brisk business in used books and slices of pie. Pie and ice cream also was offered at the Pumpkin Patch in St. Cyril’s Parish Hall. A treasure-filled straw stack proved to be a fun activity sponsored as a fund-raiser by the local chapter of the National Honor Society. Face-painting helped the Nashville PTO raise money at the festival. The Chamber of Commerce sponsored Madam Charlita, a palm reader who had a line-up of clients at Santa’s House near Central Park. Throughout the downtown area were located numerous flea market tables and other vendors. A water ball battle sponsored by the Nashville Fire Dept, brought a bit of This Clown Town Fire Dept, truck tickled the audience with its wild antics. This valuable 1929 Mercedes was a spectacular sight to antique auto buffs in the audience. selecting a winner. 6 Am tcj&Wwfrt Childern s decorated bikes added lots of color.

With Bailey are Susan Corkwell and Lois Elliston (right), representing the MVRDC, sponsors of the Harvest Festival. Tickets sold for $1 donations during the event netted for the organization a total of over $400 for their park project.

A good­ sized audience was on hand for the action. There was still plenty of activity going on in the Central Park area at that time for those not interested in the heft of tractors. A benefit auction planned for Saturday evening by the Nashville Ambulance Dept, had to be cancelled for lack of donated merchandise. But the 50-50 drawing sponsored by the Chamber of Com­ merce came off as scheduled, and Bob Siple of Vermontville was the lucky winner of $654 - half the amount collected by the Chamber in a fund-rasing drive. Tickets sold over the past month by Chamber members and volunteers brought the total amount to $1,308. Chamber President King Wayne Kirwin and Queen Margaret Bailey rode on a special float designed by Cindy Arnes and Brenda Stewart. Babbette the poodle, dressed as a granny, won a ribbon for Cutest Pet for her owner, Kim Harris. (Maple Valley News photo by Susan Hinckley) With her trophy in the foreground, Lady Lavendar (Jan Cooper) ladles up a taste of her award-winning chili. The cook-off Saturday was the first chapter in what is hoped will become an annual event. Judy Quantrell credited volunteer Judy Hook for Saturday ticket sales which took the total over the top. A minimum of $500 had been promised organization to the lucky ticket-holder, who did not have to be present for the drawing. A saloon operated from 1 to 9 p.m. in the fire barn by the MVRDC preceeeded a 9 p.m. dance with music by Free Flight, a Hastings band. A Sunday morning rain lifted before noon, and the day turned off mostly sunny and muggy, with temps reaching the middle 80s. That did not deter over 100 runners who participated in the 3.1 mile “Run, Walk or Crawl” ~ around the perimeter of the village, the event chaired by Pastor Don Roscoe attracted lots of local attention, with several Nash­ ville people entering the race. At the conclusion of the run, a gospel sign featuring all Nashville talents was staged on Maple Street. During that musical event the winning name was drawn for the 13-inch color TV donated by Harold’s TV service to the MVRDC as a fund-raiser. The winner of the remote-control set was Gary Daniels of Hastings. A light rain commenced during the fireworks which ended the festival on Sunday evening, but not enough fell to deter the show staged by Dave’s Popcorn and Rides and financed by contributions from local mer­ chants. “Ohhs” and ahhs” resounded as the spectacular pyrotechnic display drew the 1983 Harvest Festival to a close. At the mini-tractor pulls held Saturday afternoon, Dana Olcott, 7, of Charlotte, roared down the strip to take first place in Junior Class on her 800-.lb. John Deere. Paul Cooper, as Sir Oliver, rides the parade route while his wife, Jan,, otherwise known as Lady Lavendar, walked alongside. The Coopers make frequent appearances as clowns at various parades and events in the area. The new Harvest King and Queen rode on a special float along with their court, comprised of other contestants in the royal race. Twirlers dressed in shades of lavendar showed their baton skills. They are part of the Purple Magestics Baton Corps, of Comstock. Maple Valley Lions and their cheerleaders brought some pep to the parade. �The Maple Valley News, Nashville, Tuesday, September 20, 1983 — Page 12 Donors contribute to festival fun The following merchants and business people con­ tributed cash or mer­ chandise for support of the 1983 Harvest Festival, and receive sincere thanks from the Maple Valley Recreational Development Corp., sponsors of the event, the donations helped provide awards and prizes for the various activities and also helped pay the cost of the Saturday evening fireworks display.

ECONOMY AIDS STATE’S WALL STREET CREDIT RATING - Michigan’s ability to borrow money at lower interest rates has been made easier by Moody’s Investor Service since the credit rating service upgraded Michigan’s credit standing. According to State Treasurer Robert Bowman, one of the major factors in the turnaround of Michigan’s shaky credit history is the national economic recovery. WORKER’S COMP REFORM PROPOSED Several proposals to streamline Michigan’s worker’s unemployment compensation system have been introduced in the Michigan House of Representatives. The Republican-sponsored initiatives include changes in eligibility requirements for compensation benefits that would specify that only injuries suffered “on the job” would be covered under the system. In the past, claims have been paid out to workers who have fallen in parking lots, been hit by cars in front of their of­ fices, and other accidents that occur outside the work-place. Other legislation would change the method of selecting the chairman of the Worker’s Compensation Appeals Board, to ensure that the panel does not become politically partisan. And in response to the federal government’s decision to lower the interest rate that Michigan businesses must pay on the outstanding unemployment compensation debt owed to Washington, legislation is. being prepared that would lower the state surtax Michigan charges businesses to help pay off the $2.2 billion debt. EXCLUSION OF SOCIAL SECURITY FROM PROPERTY TAX CREDIT BASE - Republican-sponsored legislation that would exclude Social Security payments from the definition of household income when filing for a state homestead property tax credit has been introduced in the Michigan House. Since eligibility is based on household income, H.B. 4819, if enacted, would allow more senior citizens, survivors and disability recipients to participate in the program and increase the size of their property tax credits.

VERMONTVILLE, MICH. STATE LICENSE NO. 1612 robes are ordered and will be here soon. Correction from last week: Mr. and Mrs. Stan Graham and Travis did not bicycle to Mackinaw City, but did walk the bridge. Saturday was a work day for volunteers from the Congregational Church who painted the museum and also across the street, the Methodist painted and did roof repair. Also, Forest Gardner who bought the Kroger farm has painted some of the farm buildings and doing a lot of trimming. About 2 p.m. Saturday, 155 motorcycles roared into town with the lights flashing. It seems it is friends and relatives of a Tom Heid in Hastings who owns a bicycle parts shop. They call this a reunion and do it spring and fall. They left Hastings, went to Prairieville, Bellevue, Vermontville and back to Hastings for a pig roast and fun and games. Besides Hastings, some came from Kalamazoo, Battle Creek, Grand Rapids, Niles and other places. It was quite a sight and 60 percent were riding double. They spent about half an hour resting before going on. There is a new book in the library, “Gales of Novem­ ber” by Robert J. Hemming, given by the Retired Teachers of Eaton County in memory of Carl Thrun. This is a bode on Great Lakes shipping and especially the tragic sinking ofthe Edmund Fitzgerald, a 729 ft ore freighter, on November 11, 1975 in Lake Superior. This didn’t attract much attention until nine months later when Gordon Lightfoot released a single 45 RPM record, “The Wreck of the Edmund Fit­ zgerald”, which tells the story of terror and death on the ship which lies in 530 feet of extremely cold water and reaffirms the axiom that Lake Superior never gives up her dead. An installation service for Rev. William Trump, Jr. was held in the Congregational Church Sunday evening at 7:30 p.m. There was a large crowd and six ministers from away to assist in the service. On Wednesday, Mrs. Luella Thurow of Springport and her son Terry just home from Italy and Mr. and Mrs. Owen Snyder were visitors of Greta Firster and Aunt Mina FOR HUNTERS WHO WANT THE BEST- AT A SPORTING PRICE EN PEARSO Polyester/Cofton IBeTacKaElel 4.97 Camouflage T-shirt.

Franks, the Vermontville quarterback, led all runners with 98 yards in ten carries. The fleet footed fifth grade signal caller scored on two long TD runs and added an extra point. He also com­ pleted passes to end Brent Haag and flanker Scott Casteele. Moore racked up a 28-yard touchdown scamper form his running back post and earned a total of 54 yards in four carries. Other Ver­ montville rushers included Jason Hoefler with 29 yards and Casteele with 2. Ver­ montville got excellent of­ fensive line play from its starting offensive line which included center Matt Heinze, guards David McBrayer and Duff Laverty, tackles Mike Martin and Travis Hohkanson and ends Had and Darrell Stine. The Vermontville defense gave up few yards all af­ ternoon long. Pacing the defensive effort- was rangy middle linebacker Scott Casteele who spent most of the afternoon in the Nash­ ville backfield. Casteele was Vermontvilles leading tackler with a total of ten. Franks again proved his value on both sides of the football as the fleet Ver­ montville deep linebacker made six tackles. Other tackle totals included: linebacker Derek Brown with four, tackle Mike Dennis with three, tackle Bill Woodbury with one, outside linebacker Jason Hoeffler with two, safety Jeff Moore with two, tackle Shawn Scott with two, tackle Mark Nehmer with two, end Darrell Stine with three and Travis Hokanson, Kirk Warner and Matt Heinze with one each.

Other team membes who drive with a nifty in­ terception and the quick outside linebacker also made a quarterback sack. Mike Dennis also recorded a quarterback sack. With linebackers Casteele and Franks controlling the middle of the field, excellent work by first year defensive ends Stine and Hohkanson and outside linebackers Hoefler and Derek Brown kept Nashville’s wide run­ ning game under control as well. The young Vermontville squad is coached by Orv Moore, Bob Franks, Dan Stipe and Dennis Casteele.

Vikings hand the JV girls basketball team third loss The girls junior varsity was defeated by Potterville 32-6 last Thursday night. This was our. girls third game. The ball on this particular night did not want to go into the basket, as our girls hit only one of twentytwo shots in the first half, and 3 or 42 on the night. Our girls did not get to shoot a free throw during the entire game. Our top rebounder was Carmen Hamilton with ten. Three players scored two points each. Thdse players were Debbie Corkings, Garment Hamilton and Shelly Cardenas. Maple Valley’s J.V. coach, Jerry Reese, is pleased with the girls progress at this time. Coach Reese said, “If you watch this squad as the season progresses these J.V.’s will make great im­ provement because the girls are working hard on fun­ damentals and their un­ derstanding of the game is beginning to be exposed. The girls will play Pennfield at home on Monday and Bellevue away Wednesday. HOMETOWN YOUR FULL SERVICE LUMBER YARD 219 S.

Nashville, Vol. 112 - No. 14 - Tuesday, September 27, 1983 Hecker Agency get village insurance after bids opened by Susan Hinckley For the first time in recent history, insurance coverage for the village of Nashville was put out for competitive bidding in August - but Thursday the council decided to renew coverage with the Hecker Agency, which has operated in Nashville since 1967. “I’d like to see the business retained in the village if possible,” said Trustee George Frith, as he moved to accept the bid of Hecker Agency over three other companies. The only dissenting vote was cast by Trustee Linda Frith. All four insurance firms had representatives at the meeting. The insurance package on which all had bid included coverage for multiperil, vehicular, workmen’s compensation, and a $1 million “umbrella” policy. Hecker’s bid was $12,530. for the annual package which will be carried by National Mutual Insurance Company. Other bidders were McIntyre and Associates of Grand Rapids, $12,355; Fred Shaver Agency of Lansing, $12,587; and HempsteadBarrett, based in Bloomfield Hills, $14,361. Some of the bids, but not Hecker’s, included an added “errors and omissions’’ for coverage poice professionals and public Fire guts area rural home Nashville firefighters, Friday morning, battled a blaze which gutted a house at 9401 Greggs Crossing Road.

Prior to Thrusday’s presentation at the council meeting, the bids, which were due by Sept. 15, were reviewed by the Finance Committee to determine comparability of coverage. However, at Thursday’s meeting the committee declined to make a recommendation on which bid should be accepted. Present village policies expire in October. In other business Thur­ sday, the council: --Agreed to give salvagable lumber from the Putnam Park toboggan slide to the Maple Valley Recreational Development Corp, for construction of a portable stage to be used during such events as the Harvest Festival, which is sponsored by the MVRDC. In August the council approved razing the slide, labeling it “just a liability” due to “incorrect engineering,” when it was built a dozen years ago. -Set a hearing at 7 p.m. Wednesday, Sept. 28, at the Community Center building on a request from Russell Furlong to rezone from commerical to residential a parcel of property he owns on the south side of Sherman Street near the intersection of Lentz.

In 1943, a large museum, sometimes called centennial affair was staged in the building, and many present-day Vermontville citizens remember re those festivities.. Attendants dressed in period costumes, and entertainment included dances of the pioneer era, recalls Dorothy (Hallenbeck) Carpenter, who was one of the performers. At Thursday’s gathering, activities included touring the building, still owned by the Congregational Church, but since 1976 “home” to the local history collection of the Vermontville Historical Society, which operates the facility as a public museum. Recent renovation of the upper floor will greatly expand display area. The added space will allow the VHS to display “things we haven’t been able to show” for lack of room, noted Dean Hansen, a past president and board member of the organization. Hansen said tht exhibits on the second floor will be set up during the winter months to be ready for showing during the 1984 Vermontville Syrup Festival in April.

The Lions led 7-6 entering the third quarter, but Olivet scored the go-ahead touch­ down on a 45-yard pass from Greg Campbell to Geno Henry. But Ryan Trowbridge grabbed the ensuing kickoff and raced 80 yards for a touchdown and a 13-12 lead. It was a lead that the Lions wouldn’t surrender. A few minutes later Rob Franks recovered an Olivet fumble at the Eagle 40. Four plays later Maple Valley scored on a 10-yard run by Chris Barton. Scott Everett’s extra point made it 20-12. But still the Lions weren’t done. Pat Resseguie in- tercepted a pass and returned it 20 yards to the Olivet two-yard line. Barton scored again from there to up the margin to 26-12. Olivet took the ball and drove 73 yards in 14 plays capped by a two-yard run by Ernie Winchell. That touch­ down cut the lead to 26-18. The Eagles had one last chance to score late in the fourth quarter as they drove inside the Maple Valley 10yard line. But Marty Martin picked off his third pass of the night and the Lions held on for the win. Maple Valley coach Dan Watson said his team didn’t play as well as it was capable, and he took some of the blame himself. “I thought we played well the first half, but not so well the second half,” he said. “I TIRED?

Campbell has accounted for Olivet’s first touchdown — a 52-yard pass to Ernie Winchell that gave Olivet a 6­ 0 lead. Maple Valley’s first touch­ down came on a one-yard run by Gary Reid. Everett kicked that extra point. Statistically, Olivet rushed for 143 yards as compared to 143 for Maple Valley. Reid The JV football team defeated league rival Olivet by a score of 24 to 14. Maple Valley started the scoring with an eight yard pass interception for a touchdown by Glen Ewing. The extra point kick was no good. Olivet scored in the second quarter on 35 yard pass play. Mark Hess and many other Maple Valley Lions stopped the extra point run. The halftime score was Maple Valley 6 and Olivet 6. In the second half, Maple Valley scored in the third quarter to take a 12 to 6 lead. The touchdown was set up on a 20 yard Glenn Ewing to Greg Tilley pass and a 23 I 1 HAIRSPRAY 80Z.PUMP REG.

Myers, Tim Higdon, Mike Siple, Greg Tilley, and the whole Maple Valley defense. Leading the specialty teams in tackles were Steve Cross and Joey Youngs.

Through a learn-by-doing process, 4-H enables each member to build a foun­ dation for a life as a productive anc contributing member of society. 4-H is based on the solid experience of the professional staff, the state land-grant university and the U.S. Department of Agriculture, the skill of volunteer leaders whose guidance is the key to 4-H, the involvement of parents and other family members who share in 4-H activities, and the support of business and government leaders who provide human and financial resources, as partners in 4­ H. 4-H’ers build on their own experiences as well as on those of others in acquiring practical skills, developing respect for themselves and others, exploring career and leisure time opportunities, developing leadership skils, learning to be responsible and becoming actively inIved as citizens in their community, their nation and their world. The purpose of the 4-H program is to enable young people to grow and develop through involvement in 4-H projects that meet their needs and intersts. 4-H’ers learn useful, practical skills as well as such “life skills” as decision making, responsibility, goal setting and teamwork. 4-H members, volunteers and families have a long list of activities from which to choose throughout the year.

Tuesday, September 27, 1983 — Page 11 Lion harriers knock off Saranac .? ?VwX VX NW The Maple Valley Harriers traveled to Saranac on Thursday and defeated their opponent on a cold and windy day. Despite a tough 3.1 mile course, several Maple Valley runners ran their best times of the season — Dan Levering finished in 18:26 and Sheila Campbell in 25:22. Cross-country differs from many sports in that the low score is the winning one. Each team totals the finishing position of its first five runners to get its final score. Against Saranac, the following Maple Valley runners helped to achieve the winning point total: first place, Dan Levering, 18:26; second place, Dean Hale, 18:36; fourth place, Dan Lykins, 19:22; fifth place, Robbie Trowbridge, 19:26; sixth place, Nick VandenDriessche, 19:42. The win enabled Maple Golf, cont. from p-7 ^5% lit ®a » Mini (HUB wiVtsriiriirt MB Herb Yaudes and Dave Hummell. Two awards were presented for the best score during the season in each division. Ron Rosin’s early season 38 topped the A’s and Jerry Sessions set the pace with a 48 for the B’s. The final achievement also went to Jerry for his amazing hole in-one on the final night of competition. Thanks go to: everyone in the league for making it the summer fun it was meant to be; the personnel at Mulbery Fore for their hospitality; and the last night cook­ waitresses, Nan Lane and Nancy Rosin. The group hopes to see all (and more) next year. Remarkable new hearing aid introduced by Beltone Valley to even their record at 1-1, having lost to a tough Olivet team 26-31 last week. Running for Maple Valley this year are: seniors - Tom DeGroot, Tom McArthur, Sheila Campbell; juniors Dan Levering (co-captain), Dan Lykins (co-captain), Dean Hale, Shan Ferrier; sophomore - Jordon Ferrier; and freshmen Robbie Trowbridge and Nick V andenDriessche. Coaches for this year’s team are Ray Aspinall and Rev. Don Roscoe. Both coaches are excited about the potential of the team as they are hard workers and will return the top six run­ ners next year. The cross-country team will visit Springfield on Tuesday and Bellevue on Thursday this week. Vermontville sixth graders lose again grade football team■> took it on the chin again Saturday by losing their home opener to Lake Odessa, by a 16-0 count. The loss made Ver­ montville 0-2 on the season, but was made easier by the improved play of first year man Shaun Thompson working at both quarterback and safety. Thompson made several important tackles and along with the inspired second half performance of end Craig Henry, carried the Vermontville defence. Henry led the squad with 6 tackles, while Andy Goodrich, Shawn Carpenter and Thompson each had 5. Andy Trowbridge, and Cevin Cornish each had 3 .ackles. Spencer Shumaker and tacckles. Scott Knoll, Mike Marshall, Noel White, Roger Claypool and Jason Mishler rounded out the strong defence with one tackle each. Cevin Cornish powered a “head on” style offensive attack that drove deep into Lake Odessa territory several times without capitalizing. Cornish had 60 yards, while Carpenter rushed for 26 yards. Eye and Henry had 14 and 12 yards respectively, as well as a 10 yard run by Mishler, who has injured later in the game. This weeks Captains were Shaun Thompson, James Eye and Jason Mishler. Vermontville travels to Saranac on Saturday. 8th grade Lions overcome early loss Maple Valley’s eighth grade girls’ basketball team traveled to Portland for their season opener. The young Lions played a very fast paced and exciting game only to be defeated in overtime 36-37. Leading the Lions in scoring was Kim Bahs with 14 points; Sheri Forell added 8; Ronda Steinbracher, 6; Kelly Hoefler, 4; Diona Morawski, 3; and Joy Hamilton, 1. On Wednesday, the Lions defeated Bellevue 34-29. The game was well matched until the fourth quarter when the aggressive Lions pulled ahead. Leading scores for the night were Sheri Forell with 20 points; Kelly Hoefler with 10 points; Kim Bahs with 2; Amy Walker and Joy Hamilton each added one point from the free-throw line. Also sharing in the victory were Diona Morawski, Ronda Steinbracher, Wendy Thomson, Dina James, and Edith Clark. Coaching the eighth grade squad are Joyce Warner and assistant Bobbi Hoefler. Joyce feels that the promising young Lions will be very successful this year and they hope to improve on last year’s record of 8-4. Joyce adds, “This will be the team to watch play.” The Lions travel to Mid­ dleville on Thursday. New books at Putnam Public Library “Notable American Women” by Harvard University Press.

Box A, Nashville, Michigan Phone 945-9554 (Hastings) The Maple Valley News, Nashville, Vol. 112 - No. 15- Tuesday, October4, 1983 Putnam Public Library observes 60 th anniversary by Susan Hinckley The month of September a marked significant milestone for Putnam Public Library in Nashville. It was 60 years ago that the facility on North Main Street first opened its doors for public service. On Sep­ tember 1, 1923, Harold Wright checked out the first book ever circulated by the library. He was one of 20 persons applying for books on “Grand Opening” day. That occasion culminated seven months of dedicated labor by members of the local Woman’s Literary Club who had sought and received the awesome task of converting the former Charles and Agenes Putnam home into a library, after the Putnams willed their residence to the village for the purpose. The nucleus of the newlyopened library was 300 books included in the Putnam bequest along with a few furnishings; a $10,000 trust fund for operational purposes; and $1,000 for remodeling the elegant 188485 brick home into a public facility. “It is a real problem and will require several weeks of real labor ... before the library can be opened to the public,” the WLC ladies announced in March 1923. Feminine shirt sleeves were rolled up and work began. Volunteers readied rooms, sorted and classified solicited books, and donations of many kinds from throughout the com­ munity. Gifts ranged from reading tables to dic­ tionaries. By Sept. 1 the ladies were finally ready to open the doors of the library to the public. The facility would be open only Saturday af­ ternoon and evening until 6. Mrs. Eva Dean had been retained as librarian. “Any persons living in Castleton or Maple Grove township, upon taking out a membership card, is entitled to draw books from this library,” advised publised regulations governing the new facility. “Members are allowed to take from this library ove volume at a time.” Undoubtdly the limited number of books available initially necessitated this restriction. By the first of November 1923, a report in The Nashville News said that there now were 1,200 books available. Sixty years later, there now are 14,348 books catalogued for circulation at Putnam Public Library. In addition there is available for in-library use a good-sized collection of reference books. There also are several rare books, an extensive collection of periodicals, over 100 phonograph records (they may be checked out), and over 2,000 uncatalogued paperbacks including mysteries, science fiction, light romantic novels, general interest novels, non­ fiction and study materials. Also available to the over900 registered patron families are books located in other Michigan libraries affilliated with the Woodlands Library Cooperative, of which Putnam is a member. This listing is furnished on a ROM reader located in the local library. When the library opened in September 1923, residents of Maple Grove and Castleton townships were eligible to avail themselves of Put­ nam’s services. Today the library also serves Assyria Township residents on a county contractual basis. All students of Maple Valley School District, regardless of their place of residence, are eligible Tor service at Put-_ nam Public Library. While one librarian could handle the initial operation in 1923, today Putnam has one full-time librarian, two part-time assistants, and several volunteer aides. In addition, the Friends of Putnam Library group helps with many projects and services. Hours have expanded from the original “Saturday only” to encompass every day of the week except Thursday and Sunday. “Watch the library grow,” advised a notice in The Nashville News of Novermber 23, 1923. “Its patrons have been steadily in­ creasing from the day of opening until last Saturday when the numbered nearly a hundred.” Today, librarian La Duska Sheldon reports that 100 patrons would be an active day but noted, “We put out over two hundred items on a busy day.” Patrons are no longer limited to one book at a time. The useable floor space in the library also has in- creased over the past 60 years. In 1923, only three main floor rooms were in use. Now, four rooms on the upper floor as well as four on the first level are open to the public. Also, the basement has been adapted for storage of periodicals. In addition to books, the upstairs rooms at Putnam Public Library hold collections of local history (photo and miscellany); antique furniture and ac­ cessories; and objects of art The message of service to the Nashville area com­ munity is still the same today as it was 60 years ago. “Remember that the library is your library, and that the board is more than glad to have you make full use of it,” noted an item in The Nashville News of November 1, 1923. “We hope more and more people of Nashville and vicinity will become accustomed to visiting the library and to availing themselves of (its) use.’? Stork arrives a week early after mother involved in auto crash In 60 years, Putnam Public Library has grown to serve over 900 families in the Nashville area currently registered as patrons. Representative of them is Ron Smith, 11, as he checks out a book Saturday with librarian assistant Janet Kellogg. Two months after the library opened in 1923, there were 1,200 books available. Today there are 12 times that number in circulation, not counting paperbacks, plus many reference books and other "in-library" volumes. (Maple Valley News photo by Susan Hinckley) A pregnant Nashville woman who was involved in an automobile accident Thursday gave birth to a baby daughter just hours after the crash and one week ahead of schedule. Mother and baby are both reported to be doing fine. The accident occurred on Nashville’s Main Street curve at Pearl St. which has been the scene of many traffic accidents. A northbound car driven by Mrs. Dennis (Lola) Cook of Nashville was struck nearly head-on by one driven by a Bellevue woman who was southbound toward Big George’s Party Store and probably unfamiliar with the road, said Sgt. Gene Koetje of the Nashville Police Dept. He said the Bellevue driver was primarily responsible for the collision. Mrs. Darrell Clements of 5431 Guy Rd., Nashville, mother of Mrs. Cook, and little Christy Cook, 14 months, were passengers in the northbound car. Mrs. Clements was taken to Hayes-Green-Beach Hospital in Charlotte and later transferred to Sparrow Hospital in Lansing to un­ dergo plastic surgery on her face. Christy sustained only minor injuries in the mishap. Mrs. Cook, pregnant at the time of the collision, went into labor later that evening and at 12:41 Friday morning delivered a 5 lb. 14 oz. girl one week ahead of schedule. Mother and baby, who has been named Amanda, are doing fine. The Bellevue driver was unhurt. Both autos were seriously damaged in the collision, said Sgt. Koetje. In another accident Saturday evening, a motorcycle collided with an auto south of town but did virtually no damage to either vehicle. Police said the southbound cyclist ap­ parently pulled off M-66 between Bivens Road and M­ 79 then re-entered the high­ way and struck the left rear fender of a northbound car. He was taken to Pennock Hospital by Nashville am­ bulance for treatment of minor injuries. MV Athletic Boosters make $3,000 prepayment by Bobbi Hoefler At the September 19 meeting, the Maple Valley Athletic Boosters voted to authorize the prepayment of $3,000 to the school board for fall sports expenses. The cheerleaders received permission to again organize their Tom Watts fund raiser. The coaching of the 1983-84 cheerleaders is being supervised by Kathy Hansbarger with the help of Julie Hamilton and Sharon Varney. The new Lions pins are here and on sale for $1 during the lunch hours and home football games. Homecoming ribbons and pompons will be on safe for the October 14 game with St. Philip’s. Athletic Director Larry Lenz needs workers for the following winter sports events: boys’ basketball, varsity and JV ticket takers; freshmen - tickets, timers, scorebook; junior high - tickets and scorebook; volleyball tickets and scoreboard. Keep in mind that if you commit yourself to four jobs, you receive a free athletic pass good for all the 1983-84 sports activities. Boosters would like to make clear to the Nashville and Vermontville com­ munities that the summer league baseball and softball and fall football programs, including the seventh and eighth grade football teams, are not funded by Athletic Boosters. These young people are participating in separately funded organizations which, of course, are to the benefit of our high school sports program.

Later in the day we visited The Andersons, a well-known grain buying and shipping center located at Maumee, and had an auto tour of the Waterville area. Other stops during the day included a branch of the Lucas County library, located in an unusual building not far from the Fullers’ home, and a new Kroger store that truly offers everything from “soup to nuts” and more: live lobsters in the fresh fish department, a fresh floral center featuring plants and arrangements, and a restaurant - all under one roof. We also enjoyed a stop at the home of the Toledo Mud Huns. Weather was absolutely perfect - sunny and 70s. Back in Michigan Wed­ nesday, we devoted the day to touring the Gerald R. Ford Museum at Grand Rapids and were delighted to be greeted there by former local resident Sherry Hummel, a member of the staff. While enjoying dinner at Chi-Chi’s in Grand Rapids Wednesday evening we ran into Keith and Alice Mc­ Millen of Nashville and a This week’s column will be somewhat abbreviated because your reporter spent a few vacation days last week making news instead of gathering it. Tuesday, ac­ companied by our “better half,” we visited Toledo, Ohio, as guests of former local resident Wayne Fuller and his wife, Eliner. Highlights of the day’s ex­ cursion included lunch at Tony Packo’s, a popular eastside ethnic eatery made famous by Cpl. Klinger of the MASH series in his many longing-for-Toledo quips; touring the striking new Owen-Illinois world headquarters downtown and the nearby Promenade Park along the Maumee River; and stopping in at the new Toledo Trust building, where electronic calculators are built into endorsing tables for convenience of bank customers.

This is proper, depending upon the closeness of the relationship with the bereaved family. The graveside service is becoming more an intimate matter for the imme­ diate family and very close friends.

Others present in addition to the guest of honor and her husband, Harold, were Garold and Mercedith McMillen of Woodland; Helen and Allen Fickes of Big Rapids; LaRue and Betty McMillen, and Donna and Clinton Dodge, all of near Lake Odessa. Thursday we were in Frankenmuth, called Michigan’s “Little Bavaria” and billed as the state’s top tourist attraction with 2.5 million visitors annually. Several of that number were there Thursday, including a delegation of soldiers of the Army of the Republic of Germany. In conversation with one young man who spoke English quite fluently we learned the military group was in America to participate in upcoming festivities at Frankenmuth, a community settled by German pioneers in 1845. For those who have not visited Frankenmuth in the past three years, we strongly urge a tour to see several new attractions - especially to see how a 1927 brick school no longer needed was given a new lease on life as a unique shopping center instead of being demolished as is the “norm” in this day. The School Haus Square now houses 30 shops each located in what formerly were individual classrooms. The recycled school building features a school decor, and murals of yesteryear which have been painted on the hallway walls add a nostalgic touch to the browse-or-buy atmosphere. The “Victory Kids” will appear at 7 p.m. Sunday, Oct. 9, at Nashville Assembly of God. Details appear elsewhere in this issue of the News. Relatives here of race driver Gordon Johncock, now of Coldwater but for­ merly of Hastings, received word late Saturday night of a serious accident in Wisconsin in which three of Johncock’s chldren were hurt. His son, Gordon, Jr., 17, is in a Milwaukee hospital in a coma, at the time of this report, and has a fractured leg and pelvis. He underwent surgery Saturday night for removal of his spleen. His sisters, Pam and Patsy, suffered less serious injuries but both are hospitalized in separate hospitals at Sheboygan, where the ac­ cident occurred. Early reports received here said the three young people were among seven persons in a car being driven by a race driving instructor on a Sheboyan track prior to race time. They reportedly were attempting to find a suitable place to park the auto to watch the race when struck head-on by a van being driven in the opposite direction on the track. All persons involved are believed to have sustained injuries, the senior Johncock was at Sheboygan at the time of the mishap to watch an older son race. Gordon, Jr., was flown from Sheboygan to a Milwaukee hospital and has been joined there by his mother, who flew in from Michigan to be with him. Gordon, Sr., is with his daughters at Sheboygan.

A letter last week from former local resident Guy Howell of Tucson, Arizona, commented again on how much he, his wife Florence, and her sister, Ivy Hardman, enjoyed their recent trip to Michigan and Alabama. Guy said he has nearly 250 photos of the 9-weeks excursion in addition to those pictures taken by Florence and Ivy on their cameras. Reminiscing about folks he knew in his earlier years in Nashville, and those he was able to see on his recent visit, Guy noted that there were two friends he would have recognized right away despite his 40­ years absence from the local scene: Lloyd Miller and George Kellogg. “Fred Ackett also looks much the same as he did (when Howell lived here),” added Guy. Howell, who spent his youth­ ful days in Nashville, had last seen the village in 1943 before his recent visit. He concluded that the place has not changed much - only the people, though there are still many living here whom he remembered.

It is not only disgusting and antagonizing, but it makes you sick at heart to think that we are being sabotaged from within. It is time to stop talking about these problems and start dealing with them directly. There are several questions that dominate almost any conversation about school finance: 1. Where is all the state lottery money going? 2. When is a more equitable taxation system going to be implemented and what will it be? We fully realize that the task before you is not an easy one, but we hope that you will reorganize your priorities and return public education to it’s proper perspective.

As Nashville landmarks go, the octagonal Dixie station at the corner of Main and Fuller streets was very short-lived. Built in 1928, the tiny building lasted a scant 20 years before it was replaced with a more up-todate facility. Still, the unique eight­ sided structure left a lasting memory for many Nashville residents. Perhaps it was the significance of the year in which it was constructed that made the little station so memorable. Many changes occurred in Nashville and throughout the nation in 1928 — a presidential election year which ended with an overwhelming victory for Herbert Hoover. But all on the horizon was not rosy. The Nashville Chamber of Commerce was apprised of the gloomy outlook when, in the last week of October 1928, W. L. Matthews of Grand Rapids addressed the local group, speaking on Business Trends and Significance of Signs. “He pointed out that the present trend in the stock market is not sound,” reported The Nashville News of Matthews’ presentation, “and he warned retailers that the coming year would be a good time to get affairs in order, hold down in­ ventories and prepare for rougher times ahead.” The year had started brightly enough on the local scene, according to excerpts gleaned from the 1928 issues of The News. In January, J. C. Hurd, local auto dealer, had an­ nounced new low prices on 1928 Stars and Durants. “The new Star roadster with rumble seat and coupe both sell for $395,” advised The News. “The Durant Six coupe now sells for $1,550, by Susan Hinckley/ mirrored an era... including four-wheel brakes, special double-high tran­ smission and four forward speeds.” In February, Nashville business and professional men organized a local credit exchange, naming E. L. Kane as president; D.D. Hess, vice president; G. C. Edmonds, secretary; Chris Marshall, treasurer; and Dr. E. T. Morris, J. C. Hurd and W. J. Liebhauser as direc­ tors. “A manager of the ex­ change is to be hired soon,” noted The News. Grocery prices advertised in The News in March 1928 reflected the local economy: two cans of red salmon were selling for 57 cents; Wisconsin cream cheese cost 19 cents a pound, while butter sold for 47 cents a pound and 2-lbs. of lard cost 25 cents. A 25-lb. bag offlour was 90 cents, and a 2-lb. box of Krispy crackers were going for 25 cents. “Quick & Bean are closing out their South End grocery preparatory to engaging in another line of business,” observed The News in April. “The building has been leased to Brandstetter Motor Sales for use as an auto showroom.” The News also noted in April 1928 that “Wheat is soaring away above the twodollar mark, for the first time since the war.” In May, the Commercial Hotel in Nashville reported having guests from seven different states in one week, plus a couple from Canada. At Thornapple Lake, Cole & Wade were preparing for the season’s opening of their popular dancing pavilion. In June, V. E. Troxel bought the old Marshall and Martens Elevator property and remodeled it into a woodworking plant. That same month, local voters defeated a 14-year bonding proposal designed to raise $70,000 for an addition to the school building. Declining trade at the local Gasoline pumps reflect the "old" (left) and the ’new" in i a 1940 photo of the diminutive station that became a landmark during its brief 20-year life on Nashville's south side. Fuel supply is visible in the glass-topped pump of the ’20s. Manager M. J. Hinckley dons a coverall uniform for another day's work. movie house apparently prompted this July notice in The News: “Manager Face of the Star theatre is trying a new scheme to stimulate business. Commencing Saturday night, every theatre patron will receive a free dish.” In August, The News brought reports relative to transportation, though the scribe was somewhat less than prophetic in one con­ clusion: “The NYCRR this week removed the old planking on the Main Street crossing and installed concrete slabs which should last a lifetime.” It was also in August 1928 that the village council tabled a petition from seven businessmen asking for removal of the last hitching rails in Nashville. “When this matter last came up, there were vigorous protests from the farm trade,” observed The News, “and it is felt that even in this age of automobiles, some accommodations should be made for the people who drive into town with horses.” New business continued to boom in the village. In September, a Kroger store opened in the Gribben Block with M.S. Newman as manager. In October, the Dixie Oil Company of Kalamazoo set about erecting a small octagonal structure at the comer of South Main and Fuller streets. “M. J. Hinckley will be manager of the new Dixie service station,” informed The News. “Dixie stations are going up all over Michigan but this is the second one to be opened in Barry County.” The same month the Nash­ ville Chamber of Commerce made a noteworthy decision at a meeting covered by The News: “During the business session, it was decided to paint the name of the town on the roof of some prominent appearing building so that aiarplane travelers will know what town they are passing over.” For The Nashville News, October 1928 was truly a noteworthy month. In only the second time since its establishment in 1873, the weekly newspaper changed hands. After 40 years as owijer-publisher, Len W. Feighner sold the paper to A. B. McClure of Buchanan. (Feighner had purchased The News in 1888 from its founder Orno Strong.) November brought new duties to Feighner, as duly recorded by his successor in reporting on an event that would soon have national impact. “Herbert Hoover won over Alfred Smith in the presidential election Tuesday, by the largest majority in U.S. history,” informed The News. Columns encircle the tiny octagonal station Dixie Oil Co. built in Nashville in 1928, just a month before Herbert Hoover was elected president of the USA. In this mid-30s photo, the station sold Mobilgas for White Star Refinery. Merrill J. Hinckley, Maple Grove township native, was identified with garage and service station business in Nashville from 1914 until the late ’50s. Working first for J.C. Hurd's Ford Sales, he later operated a garage in the old blacksmith shop on N. Main at Reed. In 1928 he became manager of Dixie's new 8-sided station at the intersection of Fuller and S. Main. He closed the station during World War II to take a job as plant guard at E. W. Bliss in Hastings, which was involved in war­ time equipment production. In 1949 he reopened on the same corner in a new super station and continued to work for subsequent own­ ers after selling the business in 1950. “Unofficial returns give him 444 electoral votes to Smith’s 87. Republican ticket also carried throughout the state, Gov. Fred Green being reelected by a huge majority. Len W. Feighner of Nashville was swept into office as representative in the state legislature from this district, without op­ position.” Throughout the tumultuous times to come, from the Great Depression through World War II, the distinctive octagon stood like a silent sentinal on Nash­ ville’s south side. From Dixie to White Star to Mobilgas, the station remained under the direc­ tion of Merrill J. Hinckley until he closed it temporarily in 1942 to work in a war plant. After the war, McKee Oil Sales of Hastings built a new super station on the site of the old Dixie station and Hinckley managed that facility until 1950. The land­ mark was gone. The tiny octagonal building was sold and moved to Lansing, but memories of the era it mirrored still remain. A birds-eye view of the old NYCRR water tower shows the octagon at the corner of Fuller and South Main, dwarfed by neighboring homes. In this World War ll-era photo, the station stands like a silent sentinal - closed while Manager Hinckley worked in a war plant. After the war the building was sold and moved to Lansing, and a super station constructed on the site. EATON COUNTY FARM AND HOME CALENDAR Thursday.

Tuesday, October 4, 1983 — Page 6 Sports M.V. retains "jug" with 30-6 victory over Bellevue Friday Maple Valley retained the “Little Brown Jug” in the annual contest with Bellevue. For the fourth straight year, the Lions beat Bellevue, 30-6 last Friday. This marks the first time in the history of the jug that a Maple Valley (or Nashville) team has won four straight times. Bellevue turned the trick twice: 1941-1944 and 1950-1953. No team has won five times in a row: Maple Valley got a quick start in the game by scoring on the second play from scrimmage. Quarterback Scott Everett teamed up with Ryan Trowbridge on a 70 yard pass play to give the Lions a quick 6-0 lead. Later in the first quarter, Gary Reid ran in from nine yards out, but the score was nullified by a 15 yard penalty and Maple Valley had to settle for a 23 yard field goal and a 9-0 lead. In the second quarter, the Lions forced a bad punt by Bellevue and gained possession on the Bellevue 35 yard line. Six plays later, Gary Reid ran in from five yards out, then ran the two point conversion for a 17-0 halftime lead for the Lions. Early in the third quarter, Dean Stewart jumped a Bellevue fumble at the Bellevue 26 yard line.

He offers four priorities which “patiently and quietly wait for us to realize their significance,” and which can lead to more authentic living in the midst of today’s fast paced lifestyles. The films are produced by Word, Inc. of Waco, Texas, which also published Swindoll’s book by the same title as the film series, and his previous best-seller, “Improving Your Serve”. means to teach young people responsibility and expand the members’ interests and abilities.

Gene Koetje, acting police chief. Koetje said that in the past two weeks he has issued five citations to violators of the state law mandating that vehicles approaching a school bus from either direction come to a complete stop when red flashers on the bus are activated. He said most of the motorists he has cited would not consider disobeying the law out on the highways or rural roads, but “apparently think they can do it in the village.” Maple Valley students board and disembark from school buses parked at Kellogg School during ap­ proximately 10-minute periods twice a day: about 8 a.m. and again at 2:30 p.m. Buses are parked for loading on three sides of the Kellogg School square: on Middle, Queen and Washington streets. A bottleneck of traffic durig those time periods is complicated by parents attempting to deliver their children to school by auto, explained Koetje. He ad­ vised drivers to seek alternate routes during those periods. Kellogg School serves as a dispatch center for buses shuttling students to Fuller Street Elementary in Nash­ passensgers.

The annual Harvest Festival, a tradition dating back to 1906 in Nashville, was revived in 1978 by the MVRDC as an opportunity for getting the community together as well as raising funds for construction and maintenance of a recreational park developed by the MVRDC for public use on a 7-acre former swamp site west of the Main Street business district. Formed in the mid-1970s for that purpose, the MVRDC has developed a park now boasting two ball fields, bleachers, and picnic facilities. A boat launch on the adjacent Thornapple River also is planned. Although the MVRDC ob­ tained some government grant monies to build the park, “We can’t get grants to maintain it,” noted board member Sallye McLean. She pointed out that funds reused in the annual festival are used for park maintenance. “The Harvest dance is our big money-maker,” added Mrs. McLean, “that and the queen contest.” The net profit of the 1983 celebration has not yet been determined because several outstanding bills have not been received, but MVRDC officials estimate it will amount to approximately $2,500. The 8-member board bears most of the responsibility for actual labor of staging the festival, and all noted that it is just too much of a burden for eight people, Chaffee pointed out to the Chamber Thursday. A few volunteers have helped, but more are needed, he said. “We would like different local organizations to think of things we can do (at our next festival,” said Chaffee, “but if we have more ac­ tivities we will need more ‘bodies’ to help run them” The group will meet at 7:30 p.m. Tuesday, Nov. 11, at the Chafee home at 729 Durkee Street (M-66) and welcomes representatives from community groups to the brain-storming session. They plan to extend as many personal invitations as possible. Among various ways to improve the festival discussed by the MVRDC at the Chamber meeting were relocating the center of activities from Main Street to the park site or nearby parking lot; reducing the festival to a one or two-day event instead of three; and selling honorary MVRDC memberships to provide more financial support. The MVRDC delegation extended thanks for mer­ chant support of the 1983 festival through cash donations which helped foot the cost of fireworks and for merchandise used for prizes at various events. Chaffee noted, however, that “Certain businesses in town who do profit from the festival don’t want to do anything to help (with it).’’ Others, he added, have been very generous with contributions �The Mople Valley News, Nashville. Tuesday. October 11. 1983 — page 2 Nashville News reporter enjoyed chatting with Mrs. Marx and was able to furnish her- with copies of some of the feature stories we have done on the Put­ nams. By a very strange coicidence, two days before Mrs. Marx appeared at the library we had written and submitted the Memories of the Past story about Charles Putnam and Putnam Park which appears into today’s issue. Before leaving Nash­ ville Saturday, Mrs. Marx and children visited the park and also stopped by Lakeview Cemetery to see the graves of the Putnams. Mrs. marx plans to make a return trip here soon with her mother and sister, both of whom lived in the Detroit area and who, said Mrs. Marx, will be very excited to learn of her finds here Saturday. Congratulations to Jack and Kathy Wyant of Nash­ ville on the birth of a daughter, Oct. 2. The little lady, who weighed in at 7 lb. 4 ozs., has been named Jennie Lynn. Grandparents are former local residents Gene and Bonnie Wyant of Riverton, Wyoming, and Willie and Robbie Kirby of Pikeville, Tenn. The new arrival also is blessed with four great-grandparents: Mr. and Mrs. Otto Dahm of Nashville; Mrs. Elizabeth Jewell of Frankfort; and Mrs., Carrie Sapp of Pikeville, Tenn. Congratulations also are in Few visitors to Putnam Public Library have such a personal interst in the place as did three who stopped by there Saturday. Sally Marx and her two children drove to Nashville from their home in Milford that day, hoping to find a bit of information on the Charles Putnams through the local library. Little did they realize then that the facility is housed in the farmer Putnam home. Mrs. Marx said she was totally surprised when she drove up in front of the building to see the sign, “Putnam Public Library.” She and other members of her family in recent geneology work have discovered a relationship to the Putnams through her mother. The Saturday visit confirmed the link with Charles Putnam, an early local resident and benefactor of the Nashville community, who came here in 1865 from Lenawee County. Once in­ side the library Mrs. Marx was made welcome by Librarian La Duska Sheldon and overwhelmed with a wealth of information on the Putnams. She and the children enjoyed seeing the home that was built arid occupied by the Putnams for some 30 years and some of their former furnishings, including large portraits of the couple which were part of the Putnam’s bequest to the village facility which opened in 1923.

To celebrate the birthday oc­ casion the couple were dinner guests of their children, Mr. and Mrs. Ed Howe and son John of Nash­ ville, on Thursday evening. Max Kelley of Kelley’s Variety is doing very well and seeing “wonderfully” following eye surgery last week at Community Hospital in Battle Creek. Contrary to last week’s report, Max did not receive a cornea implant but a man-made lens which was inserted following cataract removal in his right eye. Max said it has made a world of difference in his vision. He was back at work shortly after the operation and said he appreciates everyone’s interest in his condition. Douglass Vogt ofNashville entered Pennock Hospital last Tuesday with blood pressure problems and other symptoms, but at this report was making progress in his recovery and will be home soon, it is hoped. June (Brown) Potter of rural Nashville wrote last week to say that she had “read with great interest” our recent story about Claude Greenfield in the Memories of the Past column. Mrs. Potter said she was glad that Adolph Douse, Jr., of Nashville, confirmed in a subsequent Nashville News column that it was he standing in the background of the 1927 photo published with the story, since she had though it was Adolph. “I also rode in that plane,” added Mrs. Potter. “I was out looking it over (at the makeshift airstrip Green­ field used east of town near the present-day high school) and begging for a ride.” She said that Claude told her she should have her parents’ permission but finally give in and took her aloft in the plane. “I told him I wouldn’t pay him until I was back on the ground,” said Mrs. Potter. “Why waste the money if I didn’t survive.” She figures Claude, a Nash­ ville boy who became a wellknown aviator and stunt flyer, thought he would “get even” with her for that teasing remark. “We rolled, we looped and we dived,” explained Mrs. Potter. “We landed and as I started to pay him he told me it was a free ride, (said) that for a girl that didn’t even turn ‘green’ I’d earned it. Needless to say, I never forgot that ride.” Mrs. Potter added that we might like to know that Claude Greenfield wasn’t the only famous flyer out of Nash­ ville. “There was a Sebastian girl who married a Bera...She flew in the Powder Puff Derb (a cross­ country race for female aviators) and I think she won.” Mrs. Potter believes she later^operated a flying service in Marshall and was a flight instructor. Perhaps our readers can fill in with additional details. “Love your Memories of the Past,” concluded Mrs. Potter. “Keep up the good work.” Nashville Friends of the Library invite the com­ munity to attend the first in their series of monthly coffees this season, set for Thursday, Oct. 13, at the Community Center building in Putnam Park.

Prosperity and tragedy marked the life of Charles Putnam (1846-1918), who rose from humble Adrian farm origins to prominent business and community leader in Nashville. He gave many gifts to the village, but not the park site which bears his name. Infant daughters died in 1881; a favorite nephew in 1899. Afflicted with TB, Putnam committed suicide in 1918. Putnam’s life was marked with tragedy. He and his wife, schoolteacher Agnes Smith, lost infant twin daughters in 1881. Eighteen years later, a favorite nephew they had raised died of injuries sustained in the Spanish-American War. Afflicted with TO, Charles Putnam ended his own life with a gun in 1918. The life and legacy of Charles Putnam has been told in past Memories ac­ counts. Although he cannot be credited with giving the site for Putnam Park, he is almost solely responsible for its establishment as a pleasant haven on Nash­ ville’s North Main Street.

The theme of this display is: “4-H is more than sewing, cooking and cows — it’s the proud moment you tell someone ‘I did it myself’.” The Feed Fetchers 4-H Club is a small and fairly new club, this being its third year. The club has been just a livestock club with projects in beef, sheep and goats. This year, however, the club is expanding and now offers projects in sewing, collec­ tions, arts and crafts, woodworking, photography, string art, vegetables, forestry, crops, needlecraft, and candy making.

The camp director assumes the major responsibility for the organization of the camping program, and this position has been handled well by either Fuller Street Elementary Principal Howard Yost or former community school director Ernest Jacoby. The camp staff this school year included sixth grade teachers Mary Vliek, Sandra Briggs, Victoria Polanski, Tim Byrne, and Steve Slag. Linda Boldrey was the camp nurse this year, and the cooks were Donna Mahon and Pat Lenz. High school student counsellors included Mary Benjamin, Kim Harshman, Lisa McKee, Sheila Staskus, Stephanie Walliczek, Kyle Christopher, Craig Ostergren, Tom DeGroot, and John Myers. Allen Meehan also worked as a camp counsellor. All of these camp staff members contribute greatly, to the success of any cam­ ping program, Wolff said. All of these camp staff members have earned a well deserved thank you for their work at camp as well as a thank you to all the camp staff mem­ bers or volunteers at camp in prior years, he added. The financial operation of camp is supported by a charge of $48 per student to attend camp. Part of this money is paid by the student dent with the balance being paid by such groups as the Nash­ ville PTO or Vermontville PTO organizations, Nash­ ville or Vermontville Lions clubs, and the United Way Organization. In prior years, other organizations have contributed to the support of this program. Throughout the years, some scholarships have been provided students in cases of financial need. The general support of these organizations is cer­ tainly appreciated and helps to promote a camping ex­ perience for the sixth grade students at Maple Valley, said Wolff.

The Lions had an early chance to score when Ryan Trowbridge returned a punt to the Springfield 29 yard line. Four plays later, Maple Valley missed a 28 yard field goal. The game remained scoreless until late in the second quarter when Springfield returned an intercepted pass to the MV eight yard line. Springfield scored from there, then threw for a two point con­ version to take an 8-0 lead. That score stood up until halftime. On the Lions’ first possession of the second half, they marched 70 yards in 13 plays to score, with Chris Barton picking up the touch­ down on a 12 yard run. Gary Reid ran the two point conversion to tie the score. On Maple Valley’s next possession, the team again drove the ball in an im­ pressive show of superior power with Barton again running the touchdown — this time from one yard out. Scott Everett kicked the crucial extra point for a 15-8 Maple Valley lead. Springfield never again threatened as the Lions totally dominated the second half. Maple Valley rushed for 237 yards while limiting Springfield to just 38 yards. Maple Valley only completed one pass for seven yards while Springfield threw for 43 yards on four completions in 15 attempts. Gary Reid had his best night running on the varsity with 143 yards. Robert Browne added 31 yards, Marty Martin had 35 yards, and Chris Barton ran for 29 yards. The Lion defense was led by Robert Browne with 12 tackles, Chug Maurer with 10 tackles, and Dale Montague with nine tackles. Eric Brown and Marty Martin each had interceptions for Maple Valley. Pennfield still tops the league at 4-0 with Maple Valley second at 3-0. Olivet is 3-1, St. Phil is 2-1, while Springfield, Bronson and Bellevue all remain winless in the league. This Friday features St. Phil at Maple Valley in the annual homecoming game. The Tigers are coming to Lion country fresh off a 41-6 thrashing of Burr Oak. The game shapes up as a tough contest of two evenly mat­ ched teams. Valley JVs defeated twice The Lion girls’ JVs dropped their record to 0-9 last week, losing to Springfield on Monday, 43 to 39, and to Bronson on Wednesday, 54-31. The Lions continue to show improvement and deter­ mination. Scoring for Valley on Monday were Dawn Morawski with 12 points; Debbie Corkins, 11; Kim Smith, 5; Jamie Appelman, 4; Debbie Hull, 4; Angie Filter, 5; Jackie Erwin, 2; and Shelly Cardenas, 1.

If you have always wanted to work with teen-agers; if you have wondered what really goes on in today’s schools; if you want to perform a service to your community — become a volunteer. The junior-senior high is in need of adults who would be willing to donate their time in two different areas. First area is in the cafeteria during lunch periods. It is felt that" the presence of a parent, or other adult, would influence students to im­ prove their social habits. The second area in need of volunteer help is the library. University of Michigan Accrediting Services has indicated this would be one way in which we could im­ prove our library setting without additional expense. Please don’t feel as though you need to possess some “special talent” in order to volunteer. What is really needed is someone in­ terested in our schools and willing to devote some of their time to see we maintain a strong system.

Leading the way for Ver­ montville was Brown with five vicious stops and an intercepted pass when Vermontville needed a turnover to stop a Hastings drive. Also making five tackles were Hoefler and Moore. Looking strong on the inside of the defensive line was Mike Dennis with four stops. Players making three tackles for the winners in­ cluded: middle linebacker Scott Casteele, end Darrell Stine and tackle Matt Heinze. Interior linemen Jason Byington and Travis Hokanson each registered a pair of tackles with Dan Franks, Bill Woodbury and Mike Martin each making single tackles. Besides the key interception of Derek Brown, Scott Casteele also picked off a Hastings pass and made a nice return, setting up Vermontville’s second touchdown. Fumble recoveries were made by Dan Franks, Kirk McKenzie and Darrell Stine. Stine, the big fourth grader who holds down one defensive end spot, also registered the lone quarterback sack of the contest. Also seeing action for the winning team were Jeff Knoll, Jason Carpenter, Jeremy Reynolds, Chris Musser, Brian Dennis, Bill Reynolds, Shawn Weicht, Shawn Scott, Mark Nehmer, Matt Stadel and Kirk Warner.

Agent It’s not too early to start soil sampling for fertilizer recommendations for 1984. A soil test continues to be a sound investment. Many Michigan fields have high enough phosphorus levels, that phosphorus applications could be cut back. By the same token many of these same fields need additional potassium for optimum economic yields. A soil test helps the farmer decide how to make the best use of his fertilizer dollar. Samples for this years row crops can be taken now and anytime until planting in the spring. Soil test values from a fall sampling may differ slightly from a spring sampling, but the difference is generally not great enough to cause a difference in fertilizer recommendations. By sampling now a decision can be made on lime and ploy-down potassium ap­ plications. Fall sampling helps in planning for inputs into next years crop. There may not be sufficient time in Fall is also an excellent the spring between the time the fields are dry enough to time to lime soils.

But now our culture has rephrased the adage to fit life-in the fast lane, and many now believe that fatigue is next to godliness, according to minister Charles R. Swindoll. Against that notion, Swindoll affirms the value of leisure in a film entitled “Leisure: Attention All Workaholics (and, ChurchaholiCs)”. The film will be shown Sunday, Oct. 16 at 7 p.m. at the Nashville Baptist Church. “There’s more to being, a whole person than working hard,” Swindoll says in the film series, called “Strengthening Your Grip”, produced by Word, Inc. of Waco, Texas, Leisure, he says, “is a Biblical necessity.” The noted author and minister observes that Jesus of Nazareth was “the most responsible person who ever Girl Scout newsThis year, after a change of areas throughout the Michigan Capitol Girl Scout Council, Sunfield and Ver­ montville are now composed into one Service Unit.

Vermontville now has one Junior troop With 18 girls registered, meeting with Kathy Othmer, Edith Swartz and Linda Jones as leaders, One Cadette troop with six girls meets with leader Jeri Baker. A first grade Brownie troop with five girls meets with Donna Wyskowski; second graders, 12 strong, meet with Rosulind Lingholm and Connie Shutes.

Vol. 112 - No. 17-Tuesday, October 18. 1983 Nashville Council starts process to allow tax incentives for improvements locally by Susan Hinckley Wheels were set in motion Thursday by the Nashville Village Council to offer a tax incentive - for local businessmen to improve or expand their commercial or industrial properties. A public hearing set for 7 p.m. Thursday, Nov. 10, will be the next step. Village officials hope that prospective beneficiaries of the act - all of whom will be notified by certified mail will be present at that meeting in the Community Center. The incentive plan is to be offered under .Michigan’s Public Act 255, (1978) for commercial redevelopment, and would in effect cut in half for 12 years property taxes on any physical im­ provements or additions to qualified properties within a district to be established by the council. The law does not change the present valuation of the property for tax purposes and does not affect the current tax assessment. “We’re not going to lose any taxes we’re already collecting,” noted Village President John Hughes. At Thursday’s meeting the council approved a motion by Trustee Richard Chaffee to designate all commercially - or industrially zoned properties within the corporate limits of the village as eligible under P.A. 255. The law states in part that to qualify the properties must have had the required zoning designation for a period of three years prior to the enactment of P.A. 255 on June 21, 1978. The program expires on Dec. 31. Thursday’s council action was prompted by Russell Furlong, proprietor of Maple Valley Implement, Inc., who said he recently purchased Continued on page 12- Nashville's Main Street and other commercial or industrial properties in Nashville may soon benefit from a tax incentive program to promote expansion and improvements to business Structure. (Maple Valley News photo by Susan Hinckley) Maple Valley celebrates "Homecoming z83 by Susan Hinckley The 20th anniversary of the 1963 consolidation of Nashville and Vermontville schools to form the Maple Valley district was celebrated in some of the floats entered in the 1983 Homecoming parade Friday evening. The Junior Class first place winning entry featured a large Maple Valley Lion towering over striking cardboard replicas of the old Nashville and Vermontville high schools. The Freshmen also used the anniversary theme for a “Lions’ Roaring 20s” backdrop to a football field on which laid an injured “Tiger,” representing St. Philip Maple Valley’s Friday night foe. (The Lions won that game, 28-6.) Other high school float entries were by the Sophomores, whose float showed a nearly life-size coupe driven by a Lion with the slogan “The Lions Rumble and Roar,” and the Seniors, who depicted a giant cat raiding a birdbath in the theme of “Maple Valley Lions Are The Cat’s Meow.” Other entries in the 6:30 p.m. parade, which com­ menced at Putnam Park and terminated at the athletic field on Fuller Street, in­ Continued on page 8- Varsity cheerleaders signal that Maple Valley is no. 1 as the parade heads toward the 1983 Home­ coming game with St. Philip of Battle Creek.

Seniors put last-minute touches on the "Cat's Meow" float prior to Friday evening's Homecoming parade. A Lion towering over replicas of the old Nashville and Vermontville schools was the theme of the Junior Class float marking the 20th anniversary of consolidation into the Maple Valley district. It later won-first place in judging at the Homecoming game. �The Maple Valley News, Nashville, Tuesday, October 18, 1983 — page 2 Nashville News Dust off your fiddle and rosin up your bow!

Larry finished 314 who out oof 4,149 , runners wo completed the 26.2-mile Detroit race. His time was 2 hours, 57 minutes, 25 seconds. Two other Nashville men who finished with good rankings were David Franklin, 657 with a time of 3:10:33, and Pastor Don 3:10:33 Roscoe, 709 with a time of 3:12:19. Former local resident Kenneth A. Meade of Franklin wrote last week to comment on a couple recent Memories stories — one of them the September 20 article about early Harvest Festivals. “It reminded me of the festivals I attended as a little boy,” wrote Meade. “I remember the parades, the tug-of-war over the river — as I remember it was between a team of fat men and skinny ones — the side shows, and most of all the merry-go-round. How I looked forward to rides on it.” He continued: “In the September 13 issue, you told about the diving contest and boxing as part of the early festivals. I remember one year — could have been about 1914-15 — someone, I believe one of the Grahams, had built a small steam boat in which people were taken for boat rides on the mill pond above the dam during the festival.” He wanted to know if we had ever run across such items in the early newspapers. We have, and believe the boat was operated by Martin Graham. Meade said he didn’t recall whether the boat was used more than one year. Perhaps our readers can fill in details. We heard from two local people following last week’s request for current in­ formation on the Sebastian girl from Nashville who a became well-known aviator and once won the Powder Puff Derby, a cross­ country aviation race for females. Mrs. Herald (Marlin) Hansen of Nash­ ville tells us the girl was Fran Sebastian, who later married Marlin’s cousin, Gordon Bera. The Beras later were divorced after moving to California; he is now deceased and Fran, now in her early 50s, still lives in that state. A number of years ago, she was a flight in­ structor at Battle Creek, recalled Mrs. Hansen, and as recently as this year she participated again in the Powder Puff Derby, with one of her stops being in Grand Rapids. Adolph Douse also called with information on a couple other early local aviators that trained at the Dayton, Ohio flying school operated by Nashville native Claude Greenfield, who became a well-known stunt flyer around these parts in the 1920s. Greenfield’s later aviation career included military service and also commercial flying.

The weekly clinic, under the joint sponsorship of the Health Department, local physicians and Pennock Hospital, is designed to serve the needs ofpregnant women not otherwise covered by insurance and those on Medicaid. Patients will report for each appointment to the clinic office, located next to Dr. De Goa’s office in the Physician’s Center, where their charts will be kept, and be sent by Health Depart­ ment personnel either to the patient’s doctor or to the nurse practitioner. A full-time social worker will be available and clinic visits will be coordinated with other Health Depart- United Methodist Church throughout October.

A similar clinic has been in operation in Eaton County for over two months. Planning for the prenatal clinic began in January 1983, when the Barry-Eaton District Health Department received a challenge grant from the Michigan Depart­ ment of Public Health to address the specific prenatal needs of women, who, for economic reasons, did not seek medical care until the time for delivery. An ad­ visory board was formed to assist in setting medical standards and protocols and to explore additional funding sources. This board is under the chairmanship of Oscar De Goa, M.D. and its members represent the local medical, governmental, religious, educational, social and public sectors. The need for such a clinic is based on several factors. High unemployment in the county has resulted in loss of health insurance benefits for many residents. A significant number of prenatal clients in Barn- and Eaton Counties have no prenatal visits or an inadequate number of prenatal yists to health care providers. The high infant mortality rates and rising numbers of low-weight births in the area also point to a need for making prenatal care more available for those with Our People Jump .. insufficient resources. A press conference and information session will be held at the clinic’s opening. Barry-Eaton District Health Department personnel, representatives from the local physicians and Pen­ nock Hospital and MaternalChild Health Advisory Board members will be present to give an overview and answer questions. The public is invited to attend. CALL OUR 24-HOUR NUMRER Out of bed Hit the shower Brush their teeth Fix breakfast Pack lunches Kiss the kids Hit the road Park the car Punch the clock and...

This presentation will be given by Michael Mills, 28, president of Research Ministries. Mills has appeared on a .number of Minister warns against religious overexposure What’s this? A minister who warns against ‘‘overexposure to godliness”? Sure enough, that’s part of the Rev. Charles R. Swindoll’s message in a new film called “Godliness: The Perils of Hothouse Christianity”. In the film, to be shown at the Nashville Baptist Church, 304 Phillips St., Sunday, Oct. 23, at 7 p.m., Swindoll calls for people who work for -churches and church related institutions to resist the temptation to insulate themselves from the outside world. “I am most concerned about Christian ministries, Christian schools, Christian churches and Christian ‘hothouses’,” says the best­ selling author and minister. “There is a constant barrage of ‘God-talk’ in those places, a lot of words that have long since lost their meaning.” Swindoll says that too much exposure to “unreal” language often produces cynics and burned-out Christians. The film, part of the “Strengthening Your Grip” series, is produced by Word, Inc. of Waco, Texas.

On Thursday, the Lions played Potterville for the second time this season. This was the best performance by the Lions so far this season even though they lost 38 to 31. The scoring was very balanced and the defense was very strong. Jamie Carpenter was the leading scorer with eight points.

Main St., Nashville, Ml • 852-0713 THE WORLD’S LARGEST SELLING CHAIN SAW �The Maple Valley News, Nashville, Tuesday, October 18, 1983 — page 11 Local course planned that deals Memorial award given to student with smoking and overeating Are you hooked to cigarettes even though you’d like to be a non­ smoker? Are you hooked to sweets, starches, and highcalorie foods - even though you need to lose weight? You can break the ties that bind you to self-destructive habits with the help of Self Psych Hypnosis offered on Nov. 7 by Lakewood Maple Valley Adult Education. If you’re afraid hypnosis won’t work for you, worry no more. During each session participants will be hyp­ notized four times. Halfway through the session - after you’ve been hypnotized twice -- you’ll have a chance to get your $30 fee back if you think the hypnosis is not working or if you’re in any way displeased with the program. The risk-free offer is made because Lakewood Maple Adult Educatin wants to give you every possible ad­ vantage to conquer either your smoking habit or your weight problem and to im­ prove your health in the process. The stop smoking session will be at 6 p.m. and the weight control session at 8:30 p.m. at the Maple Valley High School, 11090 Nashville Highway. You may register by calling (517) 852-9275 or (616) 374-8897. The sessions will be conducted by David Rowe, a clinical hypnotist with Self Psych, Inc. He was trained by Dr. Paul Adams and Hypnotherapist Jim Hoke, a nationally known behavior counselor and self-help expert. He is a member of the Michigan Society of Ethical Hypnothists and the Mental Health Association in Michigan. How does hypnosis make success possible for people who have failed to stop smoking or curtail eating on their own? “Because,” Rowe explains, “although you know what you need to do to stop smoking or lose weight, you don’t feel like doing it. Although the intellectual part of your mind says, “I shouldn’t smoke,’ the emotional part says, ‘I don’t care; I’m smoking anyway.’ The same is true with food. Your thinking mind can tell you all day that one peice of toast with jelly is enough, but the feeling part of your mind doesn’t care. It wants to eat two or three.” Hypnosis helps the two parts of your mind work in harmony, so that they agree upon the desired goal. With hypnosis, sticking to a diet and giving up cigarettes can be a pleasure, not a penalty. Hypnosis blocks awareness of the physical withdrawal from nicotine, that ordinarily causes irritability and nervousness. People who’ve stopped smoking with a Self Psych session - two out of three who’ve tried - are generally amazed at how easy their withdrawal is. Participants receive a cassette tape with the hypnotic suggestions to tide them over any rough moments during the first week. Weight control clients are expected to1 listen to their tape even longer, until new attitudes toward food become firmly engrained in their subconscious minds. They’ll absorb suggestions to make low-calorie, nutritious food more appealing, to feel full with half of what they usually eat, and to turn them against desserts, second helpings, and the compulsion to eat leftovers.

The Fraternal Order of Police (FOP) has announced the establishment of a new free “Hotline” service that may be reached by dialing (313) 424-9666 during normal business hours for information. Jack Brown, Executive Director of the Michigan FOP said his office is receiving an increasing number of calls “from people who are confused because they are not certain whether or not solicitations being received are on behalf of legitimate police organizations.” In announcing the new service, Brown added, “It is quite natural that citizens would turn to the FOP for verification because we are well established with the largest membership statewide and our activities are easily recognized.” Brown said his organization invited all potential contributors and advertisers from individuals and or groups which have no local membership and may, in fact, be nothing more than a personal enterprise representing few, if any police officers. In addition to the FOP, Brown says that there are a few recognized organizations which merit citizen support and that the new “Hotline” service can readily identify them. The Michigan State Lodge of the Fraternal Order of Police has been chartered since 1939 and has a mem­ bership of more than 12,000 professional police offices statewide. known police organizations to submit information about their groups for use by his staffwhen respondsing to the new “Hotline” inquiries. “Not only are we in a position to verify whether or not a organization in question exists and is legitimate”, he said, “but beyond that we have com­ piled information about length of existence, mem­ bership and activities which should also assist potential supporters in deciding whether or not it is an organization they wish to contribute to”. Brown said that from time to time, schemes to mislead 4-H photography workshop planned An informational workshop for anyone in­ terested in photography will be held on Wednesday, Oct. 26, from 8-9 p.m. in the 4-H Building auditorium on the fairgrounds in Charlotte.

It will begin at 7 p.m. at the 4-H Building on the Charlotte Fairgrounds. Continued from page 1 the large vacant lot on Main Street which is the site of the old Keihl Hardware and two adjacent stores. The buildings were razed in 1978 by the Business-owners Association, formed to acquire the land at the time for possible future development. Furlong, now sole owner of the lot, said that in the process of “exploring avenues to get something going downtown” he had learned of the tax incentives offered under P.A. 255. “By setting up an area for commercial redevelopment you may set up a domino effect” for property im­ provements, Furlong told -the council. He said he tentatively plans to con­ struct a building on the site for possible lease to Mace Pharmacy. Justin Cooley, Castleton township supervisor and villae assessor, explained that under the commercial redevelopment act a special tax would replace the nor­ mal ad valorum tax on business property im­ provements for a 12-year period.

Tuesday, October 18, 1983 — page 14 Woodland beats Vermontville 6th grade History repeated itself Saturday as Woodland stomped over the Ver­ montville sixth grade football team. The deter­ mined crew were no match for the Woodland team and saw much of the game defending the goal line, but could not stop the 37-0 score. The only ray of sun for the Vermontville offense were the 25 and 12 yard passes by Cevin Cornish that were received by Jason Mishler and Mike Marshall, respectively. Defensively, middle linebacker Cevin Cornish made 14 tackles. Following at a close second and third were James Eye with 10 and Noel White, who had eight. Rounding out the defense Fourth & fifth graders win! Vermontville’s fourth and fifth grade football team turned in another steady performance in a Saturday football win here over Woodland. The victory was a 14-0 shutout with all scoring done in the first half. Saturday’s win brought about the most consistent offense attack of 1983. Four backfield members were active for the winners. Leading the way was rugged fifth grade flanker Scott Casteele who racked up 50 yards with a combination of running and pass catching. Casteele had the long gainer of the day with a 36-yard run in the first quarter to set up a score. He also made the game’s lone extra point. Running back Jeff Moore made 33 yards in four carries. Jason Hoefler made 18 yards and made a Ver­ montville touchdown. Vermontville’s talented fifth grade quarterback Dan Franks made the other touchdown and had 30 yards rushing in four carries. Once again, Ver­ montville’s defense was strong and Franks played it tough on both sides of the ball with a game-high nine tackles and a key pass in­ terception. Corner linebacker Jason Hoefler and tackle Jason Byington each recorded five tackles, while big fifth grade lineman Travis Hokanson showed his best performance of 1983 making six tkl . tackles. Linebacker Scott Casteele and lineman David Mc­ Brayer each made four stops and each recovered a fumble. Marc Nehmer also had four tackles, while end Darrell Stine had three tackles. Derek Brown and Jeff Moore recorded two tackles and Bill Woodbury, Chris Musser and Brent Haag made single stops. Hoefler and Moore each recorded quarterback sacks. Also seeing action for the winners were Jeff Knoll, Jason Carpenter, Jeremy Reynolds, Luke Hanson, Brian Dennis, Mike Dennis, Kirk McKenzie, Bill Reynolds, Matt Nehmer, Shawn Weicht, Marty Decker, Duff LaVerty, Shawn Scott, Matt Stadel, Kirk Warner and Matt Heinze. Big offensive tackle Mike Martin, a cornerstone on the Vermontville line, sustained a knee injury and is a questionable starter next weekend. With Saturday’s effort, Vermontville raised its season record to 4-1 and avenged its only loss of the 1982 season in last year’s final game at Woodland. The young Vermontville squad closes out its 1983 season with a home contest Saturday with the always tough Sunfield team.

Maple Valley lost to St. Philip 17 to 42; Bronson, 23 to 34; Lake wood, 24 to 31. Maple Valley defeated White Pigeon 24 to 31.

Jackie Erwin added 1 point. “The ' defensive play of several of our girls is im­ proving.

However, like many others, you may never have had occasion to make that choice; for a variety of reasons. Perhaps your parents were of different faiths, an increasingly common occurrence; or else they somehow drifted away from any close religious ties and dicHnot- find room in theirlives for Church attendance, or Sunday school for their children. Nevertheless, it’s not too late! Find the Church directory in this newspaper or your telephone book and, beginning next Sunday, go to a different Church each week until you find one that’s right for you. These will be the bestspent hours of your life, because you will see the whole course of it change for the better. “And so were the churches established in the faith, and increased in number daily.” -Acts 16:5 (Mobile Home in Rear) Starting our 12th year in the same location!

(tfn) From our readers To the Editor: Not everyone is aware that the cost of law enforcement and the courts system (commonly known as Crimianl Justice) is the greatest item in County Budgets. Few would argue that we live in a permissive society or that crime is one the rise. The ever increasing price of dealing with this fact is a matter of concern. The protectin of society and individuals from those who prey on others by criminal acts is, of course, a priority. Murders, rapes, armed robbery, child molestation and sexual abuse are all too common. The latter crime that used to be directed more at young girls is almost as prevelant against boys. The cost of the in­ carceration of those found guilty of criminal actions constantly goes up. There are the ever increasing demands of the State Correction Commission to upgrade and improve county jails and the staffing of these facilities. Under our system of justice anyone charged with a crime is considered in­ nocent until proven guilty. That is as it should be. Everyone charged has the privilege of legal counsel. If anyone before the courts claims to be unable to pay an attorney of his or her choice the Judge is mandated by law to appoint one. This becomes a county expense and has been as high as $10,000 or more in a single month in Eaton County. If such a person is convicted by a jury they can begin an appeal, again at county expense. Obviously, the system that guarantees due process to the accused is sometimes abused. This adds to legitimate cost. For instance, an individual can be arrested for drunk driving if the evidence and circumstances are such as to warrant arrest. That in­ dividual can plead guilty and pay the fine and the penalty in jail. Or then can plead innocent, demand a court appointed attorney and a trial by jury in District Court. After all of this some, in the end, plead guilty A anyway. convicted murderer in Eaton County sued for several millions of dollars claiming that he was subjected to cruel and inhuman treatment in the county courts and jail. He lost the case, of course, but the Prosecutors Office was put to the additional expense 4-H Small animal Association to meet The annual meeting of the Eaton County 4-H Small Animal Association will be held on Tuesday, Nov. 1, at 7:30 p.m. at Kardel Hall located oh the fairgrounds in Charlotte. The meeting will include the election of 1984 officers and advisors, committee sign-up, discussion of fair recommendations and workshops, and voting on the number of animals which can be sold through the sale.

Law enforcement officers all over the nation are becoming increasingly frustrated over a changing legal system that often seems to favor the criminal over the rights of society as a whole. All of these things point to the burdensome cost of To Parents and Students of Maple Valley: I feel it it’’ss time to reexamine our goals. Do we want football teams and cheerleading squads even if it means our sons don’t get to play or our daughters don’t get on committees? It appears to me there are some who would rather ruin it for all if their children can’t play or be on every committee. And what about the people who take on the jobs of teaching our children? Some of these people put everything into these programs for which they get criminal justice. Under present conditions little can be done about this fact. The only way for the situation to improve is finding a means to prevent crime, rather than having to deal with it after it has occurred. We will have a stake in preventing crime and in the apprehending and conviction of those who still insist on preying upon others. All of us should be concerned with the permissiveness so much a part of our country today. Edgar Fleetham paid nothing. Are we being fair to them? I, for one, don’t think so. We not only expect, we demand our football players and cheerleaders set good examples for our school, but what about parents? What kind of example are they setting for our community when they act as some have acted? We had better start praising the people who give of their time and talent and let them do their jobs or we just might all be the losers.

Let them dry for a few days before storing in a dry cool (45-50 degrees F) location. -Winterize roses after the first killing frost. Pile 8 to 10 inches of soil around the canes. Then cut canes back, and cover wtih straw or hay. Top with rose cones or ad­ ditional soil or chicken wire to hold the mulch in place. -Clear dead and dying annuals and the dead tops of perennials out of flower beds and borders. They may harbor insects and disease organisms. -Reduce next year’s rose disease and insect problems by cleaning up fallen rose leaves and pruning and disposing of dead, damaged or diseased canes. -Repot house plants that outgrew their containers over the summer. Inspect plants that spent the sum­ mer outdoors and treat or discard them as necessary to control insect or disease problem. -Gather and destroy fallen fruits and rake up leaves of apples and crabapples to reduce the carryover of such insect and disease problems as apple maggot and apple scab. -Avoid pruning spring­ flowering trees and shrubs now except to remove dead, diseased or damaged branches. The flower buds for next year’s display have already formed, and pruning now would remove them. -Protect young fruit trees and other tender-barked trees and shrubs against damage by gnawing mice and rabbits. Place cylinders of quarter-inch mesh hard­ ware cloth around the trunks so they extend 18 to 24 inches above the usual snow level. -Rake leaves off the lawn at least once a week so they don’t mat on the lawn and smother the grass plants. -Continue to mow the lawn as long as it keeps growing.

NEW AGRICULTURE DIRECTOR APPOINTED Dr. Paul Kindinger has been appointed by the State Agriculture Commission to replace Dean Pridgeon on November 1 as Director of the Department of Agriculture. Kindinger is a former Deputy Director of the Department and also served there as Director of Marketing and International Trade. Kindinger holds a doctorate degree in agricultural economics from Cornell University. He is currently the Deputy Director of the Cooperative Extension Service at Michigan State University. THE MICHIGAN STRATEGIC FUND APPROVED Controversy continues over the proposed Michigan Strategic Fund, but the legislation was approved by the Michigan House of Representatives and has been sent to the Senate for further debate. However, the Senate also has legislation creating the Fund that differs from the House version, so a compromise will be needed. If adopted, the Fund would replace the Job Development Authority and the Michigan Economic Development Authority. SOLAR TAX CREDITS - Legislation providing tax credits for solar energy devices and their installation has been approved and now goes to Governor Blanchard for his signature. The measure provides a 30 percent credit on a system’s first $2,000 cost, and a 15 percent credit on the next $3,000. The credit will expire in 1988. Michigan ranks sixth in the nation in the number of solar energy devices installed annually. EDUCATION TAX CREDITS - Taxpayers making contributions to local school systems would receive a tax credit on their state income tax form if legislation creating the credit is adopted by the Legislature. The bill, H.B. 5050, would also increase the maximum tax credit available for contributions to institutions of higher education as well. FRONT LICENSE PLATES MAY RETURN - Michigan’s new law requiring only a rear license plate on motor vehicles may be short lived if legislation bringing the front plate back is adopted. H.B. 5042 has been endorsed by many law enforcement agencies because it is often difficult to get the license numbers from approaching autos. For example, several school bus drivers have complained that they have no way of reporting cars that do not stop when school bus flashers are on. �The Maple Valley News. Nashville, Tuesday.

Golf team finished fourth in state At the state finals, the Maple Valley golf team placed fourth out of the 21team field. This was the highest finish by any athletic team except for the 1975 baseball team that finished second. The team scores were very balanced. Low for Maple Valley was Jeff Hamilton with 82. He also shot a 36 on the front side. The 36 ties the school record with Kevin Ch­ in, Mark Shipman and Eric Wolff. Tied with 83s were Greg Lenz and Mark Valdick. The final score that was used was 84 by the only senior on the team, Kevin Ohm. Ken Trumble had some trouble with the cold, wet, windy weather and his score was 103. The only teams that were able to beat Maple Valley were Grand Rapids Forrest Hills Northern, 320; Bad Ax, 321; ancfDewitt, 327. Maple Valley’s team score was 332. Maple Valley did defeat the number two and three rated teams in the state, Detroit Country Day and Gross Point University of Liggott. Some of the other teams that placed below Maple Valley were Hudson, Blissfield, Bangor Central, Mattawan, Central Montcalm, Sag. St. Peter and Paul, Kalamazoo Hackett, Grand Rapids South Christian, and seven other teams. The players on the team put in a lot of time and effort to improve on their game this year. The fourth place finish is a very good reward for all the extra effort. Other members of the team are Bob McMillen, Jeff Tobias, Ken Meade, Ron Hoyt, Brice Tobias, Richard Rozell, Bryan Terpening, and Doug Todd. Vermontville gridders close season 6-0 Vermontville’s 7th and 8th grade football team closed out the season losing a hard fought game to Sunfield Saturday, 6-0.

Main St., Vermontville - Ph 726-0569 Jeff Weiler has perfect 300 game! Jeff Weiler, of Vermontville, a 21 yr. old in his third yr. in adult leagues, has etched his name in the record books at Char-Lanes Bowling Alley in Charlotte. In the Spring Jeff fired a outstanding 777 series while bowling on the Odd Couples Mixed League, one of the highest scores ever recorded in that house. At that time Weiler commented “I hadn’t had a 700 series, or a 300 game those are the two things I haven’t been able to do yet.” Now he has accomplished both feats. His 300 game came while bowling in the Summer league, as a member of the Monday Night Mens league. Jeff received a check for $100 from the proprietors of Char- Lanes, and was recently awarded a Stadium diamond ring and a special shoulder patch from the American Bowling Congress. Weiler, an avid bowler, is a member of no less than three different leagues: In­ dustrial, Good Fellowship and Classis league. Charlotte City Tournaments also took Jeffs name to the Sports pages as he finished 1st in three events. Singles - 728, All Events 2028, and High Handicap - 758. When Jeff is not bowling, you can usually find him behind the counter at Char­ lanes where he works part time. He also coaches the Youth Bowling league on Saturday mornings, which When can I harvest alfalfa? by Roger A. Betz, Ext. Ag. Agent “Many questions arise this time of year in regard to cutting alfalfa,” says Roger A. Betz, Extension agricultural agent. If alfalfa is flowering now, or in late September, or in the third cutting, or in a spring seeding, you can go ahead and cut it for hay or silage anytime in the fall. Alfalfa will have stored its food in the roots and should survive the winter well. Under the four-cut system (last May or early June for cut one; July 5-10 for cut two; and August 10-25 for cut three), the last cutting should not be made until after October 15. Cutting anytime after mid-October will not hurt the plant under a four-cut system or any cutting system in Michigan. This gives the plant 4-5 weeks to store food reserves. After mid-October, there will be very little regrowth. This is important since alfalfa used food reserves for the first two to three inches of regrowth after cutting in warm weather, but not in late October when there is almost no regrowth. After fall cutting, apply potassium to increase winter hardiness and improve yields next year. A soil test is best, but without a soil test, use 300-400 pounds per acre of 0-0-60 (180 to 240 pounds K20 or potash) per acre applied anytime this fall. That is adequate for a 4-6 ton yield next year under favorable conditions. If the soil tests low in phosphorus or if phosphorus hasn’t been applied for two to three years, use about 500-600 pounds of 0-14-42, 0-1142 or similar analysis high in potassium. Boron at two to three pounds per acre may be helpful on course-textured soils such as sandy loams or loamy sands. But the key for high yields is potassium. More information may be obtained from the Cooperative Extension Service office. Call 543-2310 or 372-5594. he bowled in for 3 years, while a student at Maple Valley High. In 1977, his team took 1st place in the State tournaments. Jeff also is a full time employee of Janaco Products of Charlotte. He officiates high school football, basketball and baseball games in Mid­ Michigan. He is a life time resident of Vermontville, and attended Maple Valley schools, graduating from there in 1981.

Vol 112 - No. 18 - tuesday. November 2. 1983 High School will soon get new computer thanks to Girl's Market and Post Cereals Thanks to Carl’s Market of Nashville and the Post Cereals Division of General Foods, Maple Valley High School soon will own a new 1200 XL Atari Computer. For purchasing 100 cases of. Post Cereals, Carl’s Market was awarded the unit to be sent to any school which the store designated. They chose to have the computer delivered to Maple Valley High School, and it is expected to arrive in four to eight weeks. The nationwide program sponsored by Post Cereals has placed an estimated 380 computers in Michigan alone, said John Lauck, sales representative of the firm. He recently presented Carl’s with the certificate which entitled them to order the Atari for MVHS. In conjunction with that program, Post Cereals also is promoting a “Catch on to Computers” plan which will enable local residents to help MVHS acquire free com- puter hardware and. software by collecting proof-ofpurchase seals on many Post cereal products. This is an expansion of Post’s popular “Fun *N Fitness’ program which has already given more than 246,000 pieces of athletic equipment to 42,000 schools across the country. Now, the seals may be redeemed for computer items Atari selected from a catalog supplied to the school by Post. Students, parents and others in the community are urged to help by saving the Fun *N Fitness seals which appear on a wide variety of Post cereals packages. These vary in point value, ranging from one to four points depending upon size of the container. (Larger boxes have high point values.) The “Catch on to Computers” program was launched September 15,1983, and will conclude on June 30, 1984. A collection point will be established at the school for seals contributed by the community. Community Substance Abuse program started Maple Valley Schools, in cooperation with Sheriff David Wood of the Barry County Sheriff’s Depart­ ment, will be sponsoring a substance abuse program that will be presented to all interested parents and members of the school district. The program will be presented in the Maple Valley High School auditorium on Thursday, Nov. 17, beginning at 7 p.m. Sheriff Wood will be discussing material and answering questions that will help adults better un­ derstand and deal with the problems of substance abuse among our young. Coach penalized for being No. 1! John Lauck, right, sales representative of Post Division of General Foods, presents a certificate to Donald P. Joseph, Jr., of Carl's Market, which entitled the store to designate that a new 1200 XL Atari computer be delivered to Maple Valley High School. Carl's earned the right to make the award by purchasing 100 cases of Post cereals. The boxes carry seals which can be collected by the schools and redeemed for free computer hardware software. (Maple Valley News photo by Susan Hinckley) Tracking dog finds Battle Creek lady, prevents possible tragedy Maple Valley football coach Dan Watson is a man of his word. He promised his team if they beat Pennfield for the SMAA Championship he would share his beard. At the top members of the team gather for one last look at Watson. At the right is Watson minus his beard. Come on Dan, put it on. (Maple Valley News photo) A 15-month-old German Shepard became more than “man’s best friend” last week. The young dog — known as “Whiskey” — was more a knight in shining armor, especially for an 85year-old Battle Creek woman and her family. The Shepard is a tracking dog, owned and trained by Barry County Cpl. Michael Lesick. On Thursday evening he came to the resuce of Gertrude Osborne, a recently-admitted resident at Sunset Acres, a rural nursing home in Baltimore Township, who had wan­ dered off into the surroun­ ding countryside as darkness was descending. Deputy Jerry Smith, who took part in the search, said the woman was last seen by the nursing home staff at around 6:30 p.m. “They realized she was missing almost immediately,” Smith said. “They had been keeping an eye on her because she apparently had been acting confused all day, talking of visiting a sister in Battle Creek.” The staff found Mrs. Osborne’s tracks going into a corn field, but lost them and, with darkness coming on, called the sheriff depart­ ment for assistance with Deputy John Weyerman reaching the home just prior to 8 p.m. After checking the area, Weyerman called for ad­ ditional help and by 9 p.m. Lesick and “Whiskey” had arrived at the scene. “We gave him (the dog) a coat of the woman’s for a scent and then I put him on the woman’s track,” said Lesick. Within 12 minutes the Shepard had trailed the woman in a circular path that went through the field and down into a marsh where she was found about 600 yards from the home, “lost, tired, tangled up in vines, and clinging to a briar bush”. “I don’t think there’s any Continued on page 5— �The Mople Volley News, Nashville, Tuesday, November 2, 1983 page 2 Nashville News on the second floor of the building as well as the ar­ chitecture of the structure. Librarian La Duska Sheldon and staff reported having a very pleasant visit with Dr. Brown. Six new shrubs donated by the Friends of the Library and two given by Janet Kellogg of Nashville were planted last Friday at Putnam Public Library by Mike Appleman, who lives in the neighborhood and often volunteers his help in maintaining the grounds. In the past Mike has also trimmed trees for the library. The new shrubs planted Friday are to replace spirea bushes taken out during a recent trim­ painting project by the Dept, of Public Works at the request of the library board. The bushes had grown to such an extent that they obscured the face of the building. The new greenery will grow closer to the ground, and a white stone bed around the new shrubs is planned for later.

Meade, a former local resident now of Franklin, wrote last week to say he enjoyed the Oct. 18 issue of the Maple Valley News which carried Memories of the Past story featuring a photo of old Michigan Central RR depot in Nashville. “I always enjoy pictures of the railroad station ... probably because they bring back memories of Stewart W. Brown, MD, of Long Beach, California, was a very special visitor Friday at Putnam Public Library. He is a grandson of the late Dr. C. K. Brown, a beloved physician who served the Nashville community from 1916 until his untimely death in 1929 and who is fondly recalled by many presentday residents of the village. His grandson is a surgeon specializing in surgery of the hands. He was in Michigan to attend a medical seminar in Grand Rapids and decided to pay a visit to Nashville, where he had not been since 1963. Stewart is the son of Carl Brown, who grew up in Nashville and later became well-known in aviation as a member of the famour Flying Tigers during World War II. He later went into medicine and also lives in California.

It was an idea born of need for a reasonable field of action in the facile minds of Horace Powers, Ralph Hess, and Arlie Reed (then superintendent of Nashville schools).” The men, wrote Mrs. Montgomery, “canvassed the village for donations for the land purchase, then organized the popularized the idea of farmers with tractors to come down on a work day to level the field, which was no small talk .. before the popularity of bulldozers. “It occured to Horace that the men should be fed so he volunteered to buy the meat and have the three wives, Mabie Powers, Rhea Hess and Margaret Reed, plan and cook the meal. With the help of many volunteers, the women prepared, served, and washed a goodly stack of dishes. The K.P. Hall was the scene of action. “Later the high school students got a break from classes to pick stones (from the new field) working diligently, and the grass was sown and cared for..’’ Mrs. Montgomery suggested we research the story for additional details, and this is what we found: Issues of The Nashville News from 1948-50 give a good accounting of the “blood, sweat and tears” that went into the athletic field project. On May 4, 1948, The News reported that “somewhere near a hundrend people” turned up for a meeting on the proposed field and after a two-hour discussion agreed on “the desirability of acquiring a new site for a field, erecting floodlights and making other im­ provements - providing ways and means can be found to accomplish it.” The meeting chaired by Ralph Hess was turned over to Horace Powers, a local attorney, who told of varous sites under consideration the most favorable being a 16-acre tract lying between Fuller and Casgrove streets which Mr. and Mrs. Earl Schulze had offered to sell for $3,500. Harold Bahs, president of the board of education, spoke at the May meeting of the school’s financial inability to buy the land. “There simply isn’t money available for such a purpose,” he said, adding that he would never, in the interests of the taxpayers in the district, go along with spend:ng such an amount for an athletic field while the school was in need of additional classroom space. Some had suggested that the Schulze parcel also be suitable as a buidling site for a new school would adjacent to the athletic field, and proposed a special 5-mill levy to finance the land purchase. But no action was taken at that May meeting. Meanwhile Nashvill’e ball teams continued to play on the old Riverside athletic which the Charles Putnams had donated to the village in the early 1900s. field “The condition of Nash­ ville’s present athletic field drew numerous comments Monday when the local softball team played Freeport on the wilderness that once was a diamond,'” observed The News on June 3, 1948. “They were not favorable comments, however. Proceeds of a collection taken up during the game will be used to have the grass cut before the next home game.” In a June 10, 1948, roving reporter interview, News publisher Donald Hinderliter learned that some local people favored raising money for lights and im­ provements to the old field even “though there have been some times when the field was too wet for use during the high school baseball season and one fall when the football gridiron had to be moved on account of standing water.” Even the committee ap­ pointed in February to in­ vestigate the feasibility of acquiring a new athletic field site began to waiver: Perhaps it would be best to put lights on the Riverside field and “if and when a better site may be acquired” move the lighting equip­ ment, reported The News on June 2. But rather than act on that conviction they decided to present the recommendation to a group meeting June 30 at Security National Bank. Out of that session came the deter­ mination that the 3-acre Riverside site was not adequate for three vital needs: a football gridiron, a softball field and a baseball diamond. “A minimum of something like six acres is necessary to fit all three into a lighted field,” reported The News. Just before the meeting adjourned a motion carried without opposition to A community endeavor of some magnitude, the building of Fuller Street athletic field started with an "idea" committee in February 1948 and culminated in the Nashville Tigers playing, and winning, their first football game on the new lighted Nashville farmers with tractors and other local volunteers turned out in force for a work bee in early December 1948 to begin converting vacant farm land between Fuller and Casgrove Streets into a modern lighted athletic field. Grading by vtoilbunttieers shaved thousands of dollars off the project which through individual contributions and subscription paid for land, lights and improvements. In 1950 Fuller Street elementary school was built on an adjacent site. proceed with the original plan of trying to raise enough money by popular sub­ scription to buy the Schulze property and develop a lighted athletic field. About $13,000 would be needed for site and improvements. At the meeting a Hastings contractor had given comparative costs of grading the Schulze land the Riverside field. “There is a beginning of a little over $2,000 in earnings from the community maple syrup project, which is being heavily counted on to be continued,” noted The News, “and a little over $1,000 was rasied by Ralph Hess in two days of soliciting two weeks ago.” Due to the opinion of a state official that the Fuller Street site was too remote for an elementary school location, at one point the land purchase proposal had been whittled down to $2,500 just for the athletic field. But now it was determined to include a school site and the board of education agreed reimburse the athletic field committee in the form of a $1,000 contribution as soon as the Schulze parcel was bought. Although there has been some dissension about the role rural people should play in financing construction of a field they felt they would not use as much as village residents, the rural com­ munity came through “Almost 100 percent” in contributions when soliciting began. In late September 1948 the committee announced that $2,000 had been collected in one week of solicitation. Rural folks made another important contribution to the project: “It has been suggested by several far­ mers this week that perhaps a considerable part of the grading and leveling of the field be done by volunteer labor and several have volunteered to donate the use of their tractors and other equipment for the job,” noted The News on October 7, 1948. The Schulze property was bought that fall, local high schol boys in the agriculture class of Bernard Allen helped with the survey work, and Supt. Arlie Reed lined up volunteers and equipment for a grading work bee in early December. . “Harold Bahs and Albert Bell, members of the board of education, are heading the project,” reported The News. “The (grading) job that had been estimated as worth between two and three thousand dollars worth of professional work is going to be done without the ex­ penditure of a penny.” By the time the day rolled around, three dozen tractors and 50 men had promised to help. By Spring 1949, the major concern was for lighting of the new field. In April a non-profit Athletic Field Association was formed to issue $25 stock certificates to raise an estimated $5,000 capital for lights. In early June, Emmitt Hamilton, Ralph Olin, Clayton Decker and other volunteers did final grading on the field and trenched for city water service upon which grass-seeding was contingent. “As soon as city water is available, it is expected the gridiron will be seeded, and with proper watering a good sod may be produced by the time of the first home game late in September,” noted The News in June. Lights costing $6,000 were ordered in September, shortly before school opened with a record enrollment of 675 with “most grades crowded.” In August 1949 local voters had approved a two-year 5mill tax levy to build ad­ ditional classrooms, which within a year took shape as the Fuller Street Elemen­ tary. Two weeks after school opened in 1949 it was closed temporarily due to a threatened polio epidemic which claimed the life of student Shirley Potter, 16, and hospitalized four other local residents. Lights on the new field were installed in October, but due to the late seeding no home games were scheduled that year on the new turf. The first lighted event staged on the new field was on June 5,1950, when a VFW team dubbed the Bloomer Girls challenged a businessmen’s outfit called the Gay Nineties in a hilarious fund-raiser billed as the Softball Follies. The players wre dressed in Victorian gowns. The first bleacher seating for the field came that same month. Leonard McKercher, head of the new 5-member Athletic Field Board of Control, announced that bleachers to seat 1,000 had been acquired from Saginaw Arthur Hill High Schol at a very reasonable cost. Those seats were augmented in September by the building of permanent bleachers to hold an additional 200.

Dated: October 27,1983 Susan M. Corkwell, Village Clerk John Hughes, President Susan M. Corkwell, Clerk VILLAGE OF NASHVILLE, MICHIGAN AMENDMENT TO ORDINANCE NO. 70 THE VILLAGE OF NASHVILLE ORDAINS: Section 1. Pursuant to Section 8395 of the Revised Judicature Act, State of Michigan, as added by Public Act 154 of 1968, a parking violations bureau, for the purpose of handling alleged parking violations within the city, is hereby established. The parking violations bureau shall be under the supervision and control of the Village Clerk. Section 2. The Village Clerk shall, subject to the approval of the Village Council, establish a convenient location for the parking violations bureau, appoint qualified village employees to adminis­ ter the bureau and adopt rules and regulations for the operation thereof. Section 3. No violation not scheduled in Section 6 of this ordinance shall be disposed of by the parking violations bureau. The fact that a particular violation is scheduled shall not entitle the alleged violator to disposition of the violation at the bureau and in any case the person in charge of such bureau may refuse to dispose of such violation in which case any person having knowledge of the facts may make a sworn complaint before any court having jurisdiction of the offense as provided by law. Section 4. No violation may be settled at the parking violations bureau except at the specific request of the alleged violator. No penalty for any violation shall be accepted from any person who denies having committed the offense and in no case shall the person who is in charge of the bureau determine, or attempt to determine, the truth of falsity of any fact or matter relating to such alleged violation. No person shall be required to dispose of a parking violation at the parking violations bureau and all persons shall be entitled to have any such violation processed before a court having jurisdiction thereof if they so desire. The unwillingness of any person to dispose of any violation at the parking violations bureau shall not prejudice him or in any way diminish the rights, privileges and protection accorded to him by law. Section 5. The issuance of a traffic ticket or notice of violation by a police officer of the city shall be deemed an allegation of a parking violation. Such traffic ticket or notice of violation shall indicate the length of time in which the person to whom the same was issued must respond before the parking violations bureau. It shall also indicate the address of the bureau, the hours during which the bureau is open, the amount of the penalty scheduled for the offense for which the ticket was issued and advise that a warrant for the arrest of the person to whom the ticket was issued will be sought if such person fails to respond within the time limited. Section 6. Penalty will double if not paid within 10 doys. After 30 days a warrant will be requested thus increasing the penalty $12.00. to HOUSE PASSES MICHIGAN CONSERVATION CORPS BILL - By a vote of 93-11, members of the Michigan House of Representatives approved legislation creating the Michigan Conservation Corps, a program that will provide temporary jobs for young people by placing them in work projects to conserve and develop Michigan’s natural resources, in­ cluding improvements of lakes, forests, state parks and urban area parks. The bill now goes to the Senate for final approval. AUTO THEFTS SPARK HEARINGS - Every 8.5 minutes, a car is stolen in Michigan, and the House Insurance Committee has formed a subcommittee to investigate what the state police are calling an “epidemic” of car thefts. Only a third of the 61,349 cars stolen last year were recovered. CHILD ABUSE “HELP LINE” - In an effort to help prevent child abuse, the Michigan Department of Social Services has established a toll free “help line” for parents who need counseling or assistance. Parents feeling the stress of child rearing, and who fear they may harm their children, can call 1-800-942-HELP, any time of the day or night, including holidays. If you would like to volunteer your time to assist these parents in your community, you can also call the help line and be listed as a local resource. NO BENEFITS FOR INMATES - Legislation prohibiting prison inmates from collecting worker’s disability benefits has been introduced in the Michigan House. The bill, H.B. 5060, would also make employees ineligible forr com­ pensation if their ability to work is interrupted by commission of a crime, discharge for good cause, voluntary retirement, or the occurrence of an accident or illness unrelated to the work-related environment. HOUSE EDUCATION COMMITTEE HEARINGS ON “PADDLING” - The House Education Committee began hearings last week on legislation that would ban corporal punishment from public schools. The proposal would allow “paddling” only if school officials felt that physical force was necessary to protect the school, the students, and the staff. BILL WOULD BAR MINORS FROM BARS, TAVERNS Legislation before the House Liquor Control Committee, H.B. 4487, would allow bar and tavern owners to exclude all persons under the age of 21, unless accompanied by a parent or legal guardian. However, there is a chance that such legislation will violate state and federal civil rights laws, so alternative solutions are also being examined, including designating certain areas of a bar or tavern as “no drinking areas and excluding minors only after 6 p.m. �The Maple Valley News, Nashville, Tuesday, November 2, 1983 — page 7 Former resident describes Arizona floods by Susan Hinckley The recent devastating floods in the Southwest, particularly Arizona, were of particular interest to those having family or friends living there. Guy Howell, former local resident now of Tucson, who visited Nashville this summer, sent a letter with photos last week to give local readers a glimpse of the damage caused by heavy rains in Tucson - one of the hardest-hit areas. Guy and his wife, Florence, who are volun­ teers in a citizens’ patrol in the county sheriff’s department to help in emergencies, were unable to participate in that work during the flooding because there were stranded at home. “We didn’t go out on a single patrol during the flood because we couldn’t possible get out,” wrote Howell. There were “washes” on all roads leading into Tucson from the mobile park where the Howells reside. He continued: “We had six and two-thirds inches of ran at our place in three days. That is about two-thirds of our normal yearly rainrail. Our front yard was ankle deep in water and the street in front of us looked like a river. “The rivers in Tucson were really on the rampage ... There were several houses and other buildings that went into the rivers along with the land they were on. One man said that he lost $2.5 million worth of land alone.” Thursday, Sept. 29, the Howells had been able to get to town, and again on Friday, but four inches of rain fell Friday afternoon and Saturday, and another two and two-thirds inches on Sunday.. “It was impossible to get to town because most of the bridges in town were closed or washed out. We managed to get over to Tucson Estates which is just north of us a few miles and go to the bank. Then Wednesday, Oct. 5, they had the Ajo Road Bridge open but were predicting another big rain so we got into town and stocked up on groceries. The fain failed to materialize which was fortunate.” Howell, who called the flood a “terrible disaster,” added, “We though that the flood of 1978 was bad but it wasn’t even a circumstance (compared) to this one. I heard it said that this was the worst flood in this cen­ tury.” Howell, an amateur photographer who develops his own film, sent several shots he had snapped after the water receeded revealing destruction caused by the flooding. He was unable to get pictures during the height of the disaster. Howell said this scene shows how close the Pasco gasoline station came to being washed into the Santa Cruz River in Tucson. Rocks on the left were dumped into the chasm after the flood to shore up the bridge. (Photos by Guy Howell) Fall Styles by Irene 852-9107 Vermontville news 204 N.

Everyone in the group sings at some point in the program and shares personal testimony of what the Lord means to them. On their last tour, the Sacrifice of Praise per­ formed 25 concerts in 23 days. Altogether, they were on the road for 26 days, staying in Christian homes along the way. The group covered over 5,200 miles on the trip, and left their hometown with about $10. At this time, only one member is still in high school, though at the beginning, three of the five members had not graduated. The group has completed two record albums and one single record. A “live per­ formance” tape was recently completed.

Thanks, again, for coming Your love and concern for your children always renews us Let us continue to work together for their benefit Maple Valley Jr -Sr H igh School Teachers To (he Editor: Belatedly I learned of the passing of Clarissa Lyon of Mulliken. Her death brought back memories of long ago. She was one of my first teachers at the old Figg School and a very good one. She was also a disciplinarian In the characterises of kids of all generations we didn’t always like that. As a young student it is all too easy to think that the teacher is “too tough” or that you are picked on or even punished unfairly. This lady was fair. She was also dedicated that those trusted to her in­ struction and teaching should learn. Learn, we did, while she was our teacher. Claissa Lyon was a teacher who taught for many years. There must be many more along with myself who appreciated the memory of teachers such as she who gave so much to help us get off to a good and basic start in our early education. She has left her mark on many lives: It is quite interesting to think back to those days "when things" were dif­ ferent. This is not to claim that the "good old days” were that perfect. They were not, but there was a basic sense of values then that we often seem to have lost, or at least, forgotten. At that time a student could go home after school and complain to Mom and Dad that the teacher had picked on him or her or punished them when “they hadn't done nothin”. Parents of that era invariably asked “what did you do to deserve it?” After pressing would come the admission, “well I did such and such” but the teacher didn’t nab the other kids who were doing the same.” Mom and Dad would reply, “we send you to school to learn, to mind and to respect your teacher as an authority. After this if you get it at school you’re going to get it when you get home.” That was that! Today’s version of the above case can be quite different. The student might come home with the same complaint about the teacher. Perhaps the parents accept the childs story without any real effort to get the other side, that of the teacher. Instead they are affronted. “No teacher is going to do that to my kid. Who does that school think it is anyway. We will get some friends together and march on that Board of Education. Maybe we will even get a lawyer! After all, kids have their civil rights too!” Far fetched or exagerated? Not intirely. These cases, although in the minority, are happening. In bygone days that would have been non-existent or at least nearly totally so. Phone 945-9554 for Action-Ads! 4-H leaders honored at Monday's Achievement Banquet ot Maplewood Elementary in Vermontville were Russ Laverty, who earned a Silver Clover award for 5 years service; and Sarah Pierce and Lois Siple Sipl (right), each of whom was awarded a Gold Clover award for 10 years service.

MV Lions edge Pennfield 7-6 for SMAA title by Steve Vedder There were no last second miracle touchdowns this year. No desperation passes from a Pennfield quar­ terback connecting with a leaping Panther receiver in the end zone as time ran out. This time when Maple Valley’s Kurt Hartenburg intercepted a Steve Grimes pass with less than a minute to play Maple Valley had earned a 7-6 win over Pennfield. And with the thrilling onepoint win the Lions had captured the SMAA title after having been robbed of the title last year when Pennfield won 20-16. It was the first ever football championship for a Maple Valley football team. Robert Browne blocked a punt in the second quarter and ran it 40 yards into the Pennfield end zone for all the scoring the Lions needed. It was a win that Lion coach Dan Watson admitted later was one the school, the team and even the entire community wanted very badly. “It’s the biggest football game we’ve ever had here, no doubt about it,” said Watson. “It meant pretty much everything to us.” The game was a classic defensive struggle with the big play being Browne’s blocked punt and subsequent return for the touchdown at the 11:48 mark of the second period. Scott Everett’s extra point made it 7-0. Watson said the play was nothing special. Browne and John Clements were to rush the punter from both ends and whichever player the blocker didn’t take had the best shot at the kicker. In this case Clements was blocked and Browne made the most of it. “He had a free shot at the punter/’ said Watson of Browne’s game-breaking play. It was the only time Maple Valley would even come close to scoring. That, however, wasn’t the case for Pennfield. Four times the Panthers drove inside the Lion 20 only to come away dry. Pennfield’s best chance came in the third quarter when the Panthers drove to the Maple Valley five-yard line. But the Lions held on a fourth-and-two situation. Pennfield finally broke into the scoring column but only after Watson was guilty of a tactical error on the last play of the third period. On a fourth and one from the Maple Valley 25, Watson elected to go for the first down. The Panthers held, took over the ball, and drove to the Lion four-yard line. From there Don Richmond swept around right end for a touchdown with 9:43 left in the game. But Jack Van Dyke’s extra point kick sailed to the left and Maple Valley was able to hang on for the win and the SMAA title. Watson admitted later he made a mistake going for the first down. Watson had called a timeout before the play with the intention of punting with the wind. But during the timeout Watson’s players talked him into going for the first down. “No doubt about it it was one of the stupidest things I’ve done as a coach,” said Watson. “It was my fault and not the kids. The players always want to go for a first down in that kind of a situation.” The Panthers had one last gasp after they fielded a Maple Valley punt at their own 40 with 2:38 left in the game. A first down pass put the ball at midfield, but two straight Lion sacks sent the ball back to the Pennfield 36 as the Maple Valley fans roared. The fourth down pass with less than a minute left was intercepted by Hartenburg touching off a wild celebration — much dif­ ferent from an another celebration in another town a year ago. Watson said he wasn’t surprised the contest was dominated by the defenses. “When you get into an emotional game like this that usually helps the defenses,” noted Watson. Statistically, Pennfield outrushed (101-94) and also Maple Valley defenders swarm around a Pennfield ballcarrier in last Friday's 7-6 win by the Lions. The win gives Maple Valley High School its first ever (Maple Valley News photo) football championship. oupassed Maple Valley (56­ 21. Watson, however, was thrilled with his defense. “I was fairly certain we could stop their run,” he said. “The pass defense did a lack of field position. “When you play a good defensive team like Pennfield’s you can’t keep starting out from your own 20,” said Watson, who noted The JV football team played another outstanding game in defeating Battle Creek Pennfield 18 to 8. By winning the Pennfield game, the JVs ended up with a perfect 5 win and 0 loss league season and a first place finish. The JVs dominated the game in marching for a touchdown on their first possession. Tim Higdon scored the touchdown on a six yard run. The extra point kick was wide and Maple Valley led after one quarter, 6-0. Maple Valley scored in the second quarter on a nine yard touchdown run by Mike Smith. The extra point pass was no good and Maple Valley led at the half 12 to 0.

Also playing well on defense were Mark Martin, Greg Tilley, Jim Fuller and Jack Semrau. The punting game was also good with Frank James averaging 31 yards a kick and Matt Coleman had one punt for 30 yards. Greg Tilley recovered a Pennfield fumble and Maple Valley did not have any turnovers in the game. The JVs close out their season against a good Potterville JV team.

Athletic Boosters elect officers The Maple Valley Athletic Boosters have elected Jim Bryan as the group’s new president, Sharon Stewart as treasurer, Darlene Joostberns as bingo treasurer, Bobbi Hoefler as secretary and the following members as trustees: Frankie Reid, Sue Bahs, Tom Joostberns and Bob Franks. Past President Carol Kraai automatically assumes the office of vice president. During this well attended October 17 meeting, Boosters discussed several projects which were suc­ cessful primarily because of community support. First, those who attended and enjoyed Maple 7Valley’s Homecoming should ap­ preciate the use of an emergency generator from the Nashville: Fire Dept, to operate the pressbox, in­ cluding the public address system. In order to complete the repairs on equipment for the all-important Pennfield game, Dick Ewing volun­ teered his time and trencher to ready the ground for electrician Bernie Hickey, Mike Barton and Mike Shilton. Using the public address system this past season to enthusiastically announce exciting JV and varsity football games was Dennis Casteele. M.V.A.B. thanks all of you for allowing us to benefit from your special talents and efforts! Another last minute repair job was done by the Chuck Cornish family, with son Cyle, to correct the lettering on our varsity football jer­ seys. The team members and coaches purchased their own personalized shirts and, although this doesn’t come directly under .Booster business, the effort to enable our fine varsity squad to wear their jerseys for the homecoming game deserves special recognition. Another major project was undertaken last month. The track around the football field had been in desperate need of reconditioning. With the help of Jon Forell and Brad Dickinson, working for Bill Fox’s Citizens Elevator, the free cinders were hauled into Nashville. Before these cinders could be spread, many rocks needed to be removed. This was done by only three students, Lisa Franks, Cassie Davidson and Robert Browne with supervision from Tom Joostberns, Herb Frith, Kermit Ramey and Duane Davidson. The spreading of the cinders was headed by John Bahs and his end­ loader, with school custodian Kim Hansen and a county work crew. Also, working hard on the shovels later were Greg Lenz, Kurt Hartenburg and Jon Forell. A BIG thank you from M.V.A.B. to each of you responsible for improving our track program! Now that the fall sports season is drawing to a close, M.V.A.B. would like to thank all coaches for giving so many hours to the athletes.

Brian and Gale (Cooley) Chaffee of Nashville were featured as bowlers on a Grand Rapids TV show Sunday, Oct. 30. The Chaffees appeared on Channel-8 WOTV’s Classic Bowling, a weekly presentation. Although they didn’t win the on-camera game, it is reported that they enjoyed participating in the event which required a pre-show qualification bowling. Special guests Saturday at Putnam Public Library were several relatives of the late Charles W. Putnam, an early local businessman and Nashville benefactor in whose home the library is located,. They were John and Elva Corsiglia of Wayland; their daughters and families, Sally Marx and daughter Holly of Milford and Carol and John Diekman and children Kim and Kathi of Rochester; and Mrs. Corsiglia’s cousin, Phyllis Chauvin of Wayland. The family has been working on a geneology project which has connected it to the Putnams through American patriot Israel Putnam, a Revoluntionary War general from whom both Charles W. Putriam and Mrs. Corsiglia are descended. Other stops in Nashville Saturday were Putnam Park which Charles played a major role in developing, and the graves of Putnam family at Lakeview Cemetery. Another Saturday visitor at the library was Betty Kuhlman of Grand Rapids, a descendant of Jacob Lentz, founder of the Lentz Table Co., which once was Nash­ ville’s largest employer. Miss Kuhlman, who was in town to visit the local cemetery, stops at Putnam Public Libary from time to time and in the past has been very generous in donations of furnishings, art objects, and photos for display in the second-floor rooms.

BINGO Crisis in authority film to be shown locally In one country, a dictator jails dissidents; in the next, gangs defy the police. In one home, the father is a tyrant; in another, parents get no respect. What we have here is a crisis in authority. Minister Charles R. Swindoll offers insights into this problem in his film, “Authority: Hope for a Talk-Back, Fight-Back World”, to be shown at 7 p.m. Sunday, Nov. 13 at the Nashville Baptist Church. Swindoll, whose books “Improving Your Serve”, and “Strengthening Your Grip’* have both achieved number one religious bestseller status, shows how to discern which authorities to submit to and which deserve to be resisted. The basic problem legitimate authority faces is the human bent toward a rebelliousness, he says.

High School Play, Will be Staged for Benefit of The Informant The all-high school comedy drama, “Wild Ginger”, will be presented for two nights, November 19 and 20, beginning at eight­ fifteen o’clock. For some time, a number of students in our midst have been mysteriously meeting in vacant rooms and coming to the schoolhouse at night to practice on this three-act play... The following people are in the cast, and will give you everything they have so that you will enjoy yourself: Jean Roe, Kenneth Roscoe, George Wotring, Vivian Roe, Russel Partridge, Harold Wenger, Connie Rothaar, Helen Maurer, Inez Nesbitt, Louise Lentz and Voyle Varney. If you do not like to cry, this play will not please you, for little Virginia Tallman (Wild Ginger played by Jean Roe) has a hard row to hoe... The play has more human interest than any play that we have read in some time, and is funnier than a Latin class on a day’s vacation.

Not shown are Danny Kellogg, Terry Kellogg and John Clifford. (Photo supplied) The scouts of Troop 177 met at the Scout Hall Sun­ day, Oct. 30 and poured a base for an outdoor flagpole. The scouts each brought something important to themselves to enter into the time capsule they embedded in this base. It brought a few moments of solemn thought as they considered where they each might be in the year 2000 when they plan to open the capsule. The past few meetings have been devoted to the repair of camping equip­ ment and the hall as well as the making of new camp kitchens and food and equipment boxes. By next summer, the troop hopes' to have gear ready for some special camping. Most of the scouts have their camping and canoeing merit badges and they feel they are ready for an extended camping experience.

Box A, Nashville, Michigan Phone 945-9554 (Hastings) The Maple Valley News, Nashville, Vol. 112 - No. 20 - Tuesday, November 15, 1983 Nashville Council approves tax cuts for two new projects by Susan Hinckley Potential commercial and industrial growth in Nash­ ville received a big boost Thursday when the village council acted favorably on the applications of two local businessmen seeking tax relief on improvements under a state program. About a dozen local business people and other interested individuals were present as the council considered the matter in public hearings prior to their regular meeting. Later, during the regular session the council took affirmative action. They established an Industrial Redevelopment District for the property at 728 Durkee Street and granted to owner Steven Wheeler an Industrial Facilities Exemption Cer­ tificate, and took similar action in establishing a Commercial Redevelopment District for the property at 211, 213, and 215 North Main Street at the petition of owner Russell Furlong. He then was granted a Commerical Facilities Exemp­ tion Certificate. Both sites are vacant parcels. The council action will in effect cut in half for 12 years property taxes on any physical improvements to the approved sites. The law does not change the present valuation of the property for tax purposed and does not affect the current tax assessment. Other businesses in Nash­ ville may qualify for the tax break, which applies to new construction on unimproved land as well as additions to present buildings, but each owner must make individual application, said President John Hughes. “We decided we would rather do it on individual basis, instead of a blanket coverage (for a district),” explained Hughes. “This way we have a handle on it.” At their first meeting in October the council had initially approved a resolution designating all commercial and industrial properties in the village as a commercial redevelopment district under Public Act 255 (1978). Two weeks later, on advice of village attorney Richard Wendt, the council rescinded that motion and elected to hear each ap­ plication for districting on an individual basis. Commercial properties will be considered under Public Act 255, while in­ dustrial sites will be handled under P.A. 198 (1974). At Thursday’s meeting Wendt cautioned that though extension of the deadline is being considered, P.A. 255 expires on December 31, 1983, and he encouraged Hughes to make local business owners aware of this. . Wheeler said he is going to construct a building in which he will produce fiber glass parts, such as cabs for pickup trucks. He told the council that approval of the program is “a nice boost” to local business. Furlong proposes to erect a 40 x 80 cement block building on the North Main Street site for lease to Mace Pharmacy of Nashville for sale of drugs and con­ venience merchandise. “It (the tax plan) is an incentive to create new business and tax base for Nashville,” commented Furlong. “It is something we overlooked in the past. Without such a thing we are not going to see new business development.” He predicted that in the long run the tax incentive plan would produce more revenue for the village and the four other taxing units: township (either Maple Grove or Castleton, as the township line intersects the village); the Maple Valley School District; Barry County; and the Barry County Intermediate School District. The Wheeler property is in Maple Grove Township and the Furlong lot is , in Casteleton. Superviors of both townships, Monte Allen of Maple Grove and Justin Cooley of Castleton, were present Thursday to state their approval of the plan. Also present was Carroll Wolff, superintendent of Maple Valley Schools. A letter was read stating unanimous approval of the Maple Valley Board of Education for the proposed redistricting plan. Furlong noted how the program will bring ad­ ditional revenues into local coffers: “That vacant lot would draw virtually no taxes, but an $80,000 building (which he proposes to construct) would draw taxes on $40,000 for 12 years.” After that it will be taxed at normal rate. Among the criteria stipulated under each act is that the proposed expansion or improvement is likely to create or retain local jobs. Projects must be com­ pleted within two years of “This is a project that is issuance of the exemption required of all advanced certificates.

Busy as Santa’s elves, they have been working since the! start of school to create stunning wooden case clocks. The beautiful pendulum time pieces are ideally suited for mantel display, and most will be given by the students to their parents or other family members as Christmas gifts. Each student has about $65 invested in materials, with wood alone costing $23 to $26. The cases have been carefully shaped from willow, pine or walnut — according to the student’s preference. Sanding, staining and waxing follow. commerical Redevelopment Act. Tax breaks begin with the 1985 tax year, he added. Furlong thanked the council for prompt action which allowed him to meet the impending deadline on the tax incentive plan. He propoeses to start con­ struction of his building some time after the first of the year. The foundation of the Wheeler building already has been poured. To qualify a site for In­ dustrial districting, the council has to find that construction has not com­ menced earlier than 12 months prior.

A letter last week from former local resident Guy Howell of Tucson, Arizona, commented on the recent Memories story about cider­ making at the old grist mill in Nashville. “I liked the picture of Qtto Lass,” noted Howell, and then added this about the late owner of the mill: “I remember the time when he played the ‘Country Cousin’ in a Womanless Wedding. He really looked the part and he had a bow tie on that had a flashlight bulb in the center. He had a prominent Adams Apple and whenever he swallowed, the light would flash. He had the battery in his pocket. I kept the audience in stitches.” (Womanless Weddings were popular fund-raisers here back in the 1930s. At present, the local Chamber of Commerce is planning to stage another such event in April 1984). Earl and Clara Pennock of Nashville returned home last Monday after a five-week European trip during which they visited their daughter and family in Germany. Although they had tours of Germany, Italy and France, the highlight of the journey was seeing daughter Leigh, her husband, 1st Lt. Woody Haroff, and their sons, Adam and Aaron, who live near Nuremberg. The Haroffs will be in Germany a couple more years as he is stationed there in a U.S. Army field artillery unit. The Pennocks flew from Detroit on October 4 and after a stop in New York, landed in Frankfort, Germany,, Germany,,where where they they were met by their son-in-law. In addition to having a nice visit with the Haroffs, the Pennocks enjoyed many side trips and group tours during their stay. At the Hos Border, they saw the wall that divides West Germany from the Communist East; they toured Mad Ludwig’s Castle at Bavaria; spent four days in Paris on a sightseeing tour which included such highlights as the Eiffel Tower; enjoyed an eight-day bus tour of Italy with a stop in Rome, and for Clara a trip to the gorgeous Isle of Capri by hydroplane while Earl opted for a more strenuous tour of the ruins of Pompeii. On Capri, Clara and others in the group visited, the beautiful Blue Grotto by rowboat. There also were special sights in Germany. Leigh guided her parents on a tour of the old walled city of Nuremberg, and one day Earl and Woody went to Munich where they saw the Olympic Stadium and another day visited Rothenberg. The Pennocks enjoyed generally good weather throughout their journey. They arrived in Detroit last Monday and were met at the airport by Joe and Marge Andrews of Nashville, who had been visiting her parents at their home nearby.

Recipes may have been drawn from contributors outside the Baptist organization. At the time of the book’s publication, the Baptist Church was located in what is now Trinity Gospel at 219 Washington Street. The Baptists had been in those quarters since November 7, 1907, when they dedicated the newly-remodeled church which had been built by the Christian Church in 1870 and later occupied by the Congregationalists. For several years prior to 1907, the Baptists had been meeting in a variety of rooms after losing the church they had built in 1877 on the corner of State and Maple (now St. Cyril’s Catholic). “The history of the Baptist society in Nashville, if written in full, would be an interesting study of trials and tribulations, and of heroic struggles by a few brave spirits against ad­ verse winds and tides,” observed The Nashville News in a 1894 report. “They have built one of the best church buildings in Nash­ ville, have been compelled in spite of hard work and self­ sacrificing zeal to see their home sold under mortgage, have died and been born again, and are still heroically fighting on, with grim determination and a dauntless spirit worthy of the cause in which they labor.” The Baptist society was originally organized in Nashville in 1869 and held their first meetings in the schoolhouse with Rev. P. C. Bassett as pastor. Later the group met over Ransom Mayo’s store on Main Street. In 1877, during the pastorate of Rev. W. R. Northrup, the brick church was built on the corner of State and Maple. Services were conducted there for several years, but the church was laboring under a heavier load of debt than it could carry and in 1882 the church was taken from them on a In November 1907 the Baptists dedicated this church on Washington Street as their new home in Nashville - the first real church they had owned since losing the beautiful brick sanctuary they built at State and Maple to foreclosure in 1882. Mortgage holders later sold it to the Catholics, who still use it. This frame church was built in 1870 as a Christian Church, later served the Congregationalists before being acquired by the Baptists. They improved it several times before moving to their present location on Phillips Street in 1970. At left in this 1920s photo is home of hardware merchant C. L. Glasgo w.

George VanDeventer opened this store in the mid-1930s and in 1943 also took over the Hi-Speed gas station next to it. Nashville Coin Laundry now occupies the site. mortgage held by Battle Creek parties who later sold it to the Catholic society. “Services were then discontinued by the Baptists, and it was thought by the majority of our people that the society was dead, as far as Nashville was concerned,” noted The News in 1894. “But we little knew of the will indomitable possessed by the little band ofbrave souls, for in 1888, the society was reorganized and commenced again holding meetings.” The new society, which became a branch of the Hastings church, was comprised of Mrs. (Dr.) Gardner, Mrs. O. F. Long, Mr. and Mrs. Fred Appelman, Mrs. George Gribbin, Mrs. O. Cobom and daughter, Mrs. C. W. Smith, Mrs. H. R. Dickinson, Mrs. C. B. Lusk, Mrs. Frank McDerby, Mr. and Mrs. Griffin Lyon and Misses Lou Feighner, Catharine Dickinson and Emma Barber. After about five years, the church found itself without a regular pastor but Sunday School and paryer meetings were kept up with a good attendance. They were meeting then over Henry Roe’s Main Street meat market. In 1894, Rev. E. E. Brand led a come-back and that year the society purchased the former S. Liebhauser tailor shop just north of Buel and White’s general store on the northeast corner of the Main and Washington streets intersection. (Some of our readers will recall the building as the old Van’s Auto Accessories shop of the 1900s era.) Before acquiring the Washington Street church in 1907, the Baptists also worshipped in other Main Street quarters just north of the Liebhauser building. By then, they had been reorganized as the First Baptist Church. After buying the Washington Street sanctuary, the Baptists remodeled the building and added a modern heating "Recipes from soup to nuts contributed by more than 60 Nashville women fill a cookbook published in June on 1929" plant. During the late 1950s, when Rev. Roy Green was pastor, the church was again ex­ tensively remodeled. The exterior appearance was altered with the addition of a masonry front on the frame building and the interior was changed to provide more rooms and better facilities for worship and other services. In 1970, under leadership of the present pastor, Rev. Lester DeGroot, the Nash­ ville Baptists relocated in the former 1886 Evangelical Church on Phillips Street, and an extensive addition was attached to the north side of the sanctuary in 1974. The auditorium seats nearly 600. In Its report on the Bap­ tists published by The Nash­ ville News in 1894, the paper spoke of the endurance of the group: “The society hopes soon to have another home of its own. And they will. The past record of the society shows such determination and zealous energy that there is little doubt in the minds ofour people that they will eventually succeed in their ambition to become an influential and potent factor in the future religious welfare of our fair village.” The News prophecy of nearly 90 years ago has been fulfilled. A cookbook published by the Baptist Ladies' Aid Society in 1929 carries a variety of tested recipes contributed by over 60 local women. The Baptist LAS was organized here in 1906 when the congregation was still meeting in a succession of vacant Main Street stores. The Nashville News predicted nearly 90 years ago that the local Baptists would overcome their adverse tides" and become "an influential and potent factor in the future religious welfare of our fair village. Names familiar in the Nashville community appear with recipes in this 1929 Baptist cookbook, along with ads for local businesses. Some merchants took a cue from the book in preparing their slogans: Hannemann's dry goods had "the best recipe for genuine satisfaction;" L. H. Cook claimed "the recipes in this book will give better results if you use pur coal when baking or cooking;" and C. L. Glasgow's hard- ware offered "good prices to Baptist membership." The book was presented recently to Putnam Public Library by Wayne Fuller of Toledo. �The Maple Valley News, Nashville, Tuesday, November 15, 1983 — page 5 and Dad about our partin the program. “Are you coming” we would ask.

Sincerely, Fuller Street Staff From our readers To The Editor: For a good many years Vermontville has had drainage problems on Maple Street and the east side of town. People living in that area have been bothered with water in basements and mud holes in the streets. I have attended a lot of meetings when that par­ ticular topic was discussed and there has been some drain tile installed but not adequate to handle the water. Now I believe we are going to have that problem solved when the storm sewer, now being installed, is completed. Being a member of the council a few years, I have been concerned about that situation. We knew property owners had a problem and we had a problem. When money was available to us in the form of a loan, and if I understand it correctly, the only streets that, could be blacktopped with the money are streets that had been blacktopped or seal coated before. If you remember correctly First Street and a portion of Maple was done at one time but was not successful. I am really glad that these streets are being done now. At least we will have part of the town out of the mud and dust. In a few meetings I at­ tended it was brought up that maybe we ought to widen South Main. I said that we should not spend taxpayers money on South Main Street until we got everybody else out of the mud. Somewhere along the line a small hand­ ful of people, and when I say small handful I mean small handful of people, dreamed up the idea ofwidening South Main Street and it was drawn up with the engineering firm to do just that. I regret the fact that it goes on record that I had anything to do with applying for a loan to be used on South Main Streeet, but being in sort of a package I voted for a loan. But I have said right along that I am not in favor of touching South Main, we have a good smooth street New books at Putnam Public Library “Plain'Facts” by Dr. John Harvey Kellogg.

The company is a spin-off of that group, which aims at in­ creasing deaf awareness.

Charlotte Fairgrounds Fertilize your lawn in late fall Before you retire your lawn care equipment for the winter, one last task remains: a final lawn fer­ tilization. Turfgrass specialists at the Eaton County Cooperative Extension Service advise applying a high nitrogen fertilizer to dormant lawns before the soil freezes Fertilizing in the late fall helps thicken weak or sparse turf and strengthens the turf to withstand the winter More importantly, it promotes root development that will strengthen the lawn in the coming year. It also provides the nutrients that grass plants will use to green up slowly without a lot of topgrowth the next spring. This means you aren’t running for the lawn mower every couple of days and mowing when the soil is to wet Because clippings are fewer, you can return them rather than remove them from the lawn. likely, however, if you apply fertilizer at the recom­ mended rates after the grass has stopped growing. This is usually about Nov. 5 through 15 in Eaton County and most of lower Michigan. Although the possibility is remote, a heavy rain just after application could result in some water pollution by fertilizer runoff. To avoid this, put on no more than to 3z* pound ofactual nitrogen per 1,000 square feet. Slowrelease nitrogen fertilizers are recommended. Fertilizing before the ground freezes reduces the potential for runoff. Ap­ plying the fertilizer carefully with a spreader is also irn- portant Fertilizer carelessly scattered on pavement and other hard surfaces goes straight into storm sewers or ground water. Turf, however, is a thick mat. Fertilizer that gets through that tangle to the soil in quantities that meet but don’t exceed the lawn’s needs is notlikely to go much farther. Workshop set for women in agriculture The Kalamazoo Center Hilton Inn will host the “Workshop for Women in Agriculture” from February 27-29, 1984. This workshop is designed for women who live and work in agricultural communities across the nation and want to expand their skills and understanding of the improtance of women to the agricultural sector. “Workshop for Women in Agriculture” is planned as a participative learning ex­ perience focusing on ... Growth that occurs after marketing, activism, fertilization could leave the finance, technologyturf more sesceptible to winter injury. This is not management. The keynote speaker is Cheryl Tevis, Associate Editor, Successful Farming Magazine. Outstanding leaders for the workshop sesssions will share years of practical agricultural ex­ perience with workshop participants. On February 29, 1984, an in-depth “Hands-on” computer session will be conducted at the John E. Fetzer Business Develop­ ment Center on the campus of Western Michigan University. The registration fee for the two-day workshop is $50 which covers the cost of all meals, coffee breaks, and workshop materials. An additional fee for the February 29, 1984 computer session will be charged. Overnight accommodations are available at the Kalamazoo Hilton Inn at our special conference rate.

In Michigan, most deer produce excellent venison if they are properly handled. Preparing and eating venison will be a more en­ joyable experience for all — hunter, cook and consumers —- if they follow some simple guidelines. The Eaton County Ex­ tension office offers a free bulletin “Venison... Upper Peninsula Style”. It describes how to dress and hang the deer, with further directions in cutting the carcass and cooking techniques. If you are an avid hunter, you may also be interested in a handout on wild game recipes. Both of these materialscan be obtained by stopping by the Eaton County Extension office in Charlotte.

To use it most effectively you must know where to find it, terms for obtaining it, and how best to use it so you can pay for it. A directory of the various institutions, businesses and agencies that can provide credit to farmers has been prepared by the Eaton County Cooperative Ex­ tension Service. The free directory con­ tains up-to-date information on traditional ag lenders, commercial banks, savings and loans, farm equipment companies and leasing companies. In addition to sources, the directory lists credit of loan types offered, interest rates, length of loans, eligibility criteria, repayment schedules and security requirements.

The troop undertook its first campout on November 5 and 6. In preparation for the campout, the scouts were responsible for planning meals, purchasing the food and preparing it. They were divided into two temporary patrols for this purpose. Many of the events taking place at the campout were of a training nature. A lost man rescue and first aid exercise was one such event. The partrols were told two dummies were hidden somewhere in the area with a list of injuries attached to them. They were then given a map of the area in order to help find the dummies. The idea was to find and treat the injured. Other events included learning the proper use and handling of a hatchet and Scouts taking cider orders Boy Scout Troop 176 will be taking orders for cider by the gallon beginning November 10. Cider will be purchased from Conklin’s Cidermill and will be sold for $2 per gallon. Deliveries will be made on November 22 and 23. If you are not contacted and wish to order cider, please call Ed Boldrey at 852-1889; Dennis Priddy at 852-0939; Dale Ossenheimer at 852-1674 or any Boy Scout of Troop 176.

(pho,° suPPlled) $1.89 WELFARE FRAUD LEGISLATION PROPOSED Legislation terminating benefits of any recipient convicted of welfare fraud has been introduced in the Michigan House. Under current law, people convicted of welfare fraud are still entitled to welfare benefits. The bill, H.B. 5094, would serve as a deterrent to further fraud. WILDLIFE CHECKOFF BECOMES LAW - Legislation allowing Michigan taxpayers to contribute funds, through a checkoff on their state income tax forms, for the benefit of non-game wildlife preservation has been signed into law by Governor Blanchard. The Department of Natural Resources estimates that the legislation will provide $700,000 annually for the non-game wildlife funds. MICHIGAN RANKS LAST IN 10 YEAR COMPARISON ON EDUCATION SPENDING - Michigan ranks 50th among the states in increased appropriations for higher education, it was announced by the Higher Education Chronicle, even though the state ranks seventh nationally in aid to colleges and universities. And, on a two-year comparison, Michigan ranks 45th in spending increases, based on 1981-83 figures. ELDERLY WOULD GET MAIL ORDER DRIVERS’ LICENSES, TOO - Legislation is on Governor Blanchard’s desk that would allow the Secretary of State to send driver’s license renewal forms to those people 70 years of age and older. Current law only allows the forms to be sent to those people under 70 who have four-year licenses, exempting young drivers with three-year probationary renewals and citizens over 70 from the procedure. SCIENCE AND MATH TEACHER RETRAINING Legislation has been introduced in the Michigan House of Representatives that would provide $1.5 million in next year’s budget for junior high - middle school math and science teacher retraining. A study of Michigan’s middle school math and science teachers reported that 37 percent did not have a minor in math or science. STATE UNEMPLOYMENT LEVEL HOLDS, NATIONAL LEVEL DROPS - Michigan’s seasonally adjusted unem­ ployment rate remained unchanged in October, at 13.6 percent, or 573,000. However, the national adjusted rate dropped to 9.3 percent. Michigan Employment Security Commission officials explained that the reason Michigan’s rate did not drop was due to the end of the farming season, and students leaving summer jobs. MICHIGAN LOTTERY SHOW'S GAINS - The Michigan Lottery reaped in $548.9 million during the post fiscal year, up 4.1 percent over the previous year. The Lottery spent $269.5 million in prizes, and the state’s School Aid Fund received $221.3 million, less than one percent of the entire education budget. �Jim’s Electric Owned and Operated by Jim Jones LICENSED ELECTRICAL CONTRACTOR • Residential • Industrial • Farm • Commercial 852-1783 NASHVILLE Mace Pharmacy 207 N.

They’ve each written their own version of how they would go about cooking a turkey and the following stories are a sampling of their ideas for readers to enjoy. How to Cook a Turkey by April Before you cook a turkey, you have to catch it and butcher it. When you are butchering a turkey, you have to take an ax and chop its head off. Then you pluck the feathers off. Then you wash it off and let it set until you have made the stuffing. Here is how to make the stuffing. First you have to put in chunks of bread. Next you put in the giblets, sage, butter, chicken bouillon cubes, onions, celery, and green peppers. Then you have to stuff it and put it into a turkey bag. Set it in a pan. Set the oven to 375 degrees F. and let it cook for about five hours. When the turkey is done, cut it up and serve. Have a nice Thanksgiving. How to Cook a Turkey! by Dawn Othmer First you have to get a turkey. So I put on my warmest coat and got my gun. Then I went to the forest where there were turkeys. I saw a turkey in a bush and shot at it. But I missed! So I shot at the turkey again and this time I hit it. I ran and picked the turkey up and then I ran home with it. The second job is getting ready to cook the turkey, I cut its head off and boiled it. Then I plucked the feathers and took all the insides out. The third job is cooking the turkey. First you turn on the oven to four hundred twentyfive degrees. Next job is making and putting the stuffing in. First you get the box of stuffing mix and add two cups of water.

(Maple Valley News photo by Susan Hinckley) throughout the year, while praying that those harvests may ever continue to be bountiful. Let us also pray for guidance.. that the fruits of the earth may bless every table throughout this land. That is our earnest hope on this Thanksgiving Day, November 24,1983. by Susan Hinckley Nashville’s Main Street took on a festive holiday air Friday even - though tem­ peratures in the 50-degree range bespoke little of the upcoming Christmas season. Three overhead garlands and some 20 lamp post decorations were put into place by employees and helpers of the village’s Dept, of Public Works perched in high-rider equipment. This marks the third year that Nashville has enjoyed a complete set of Yule decorations which few communities of its size can equal. Holiday decoration of Nashville’s Main Street was first launched back in 1939 when local merchants stretched four garlands of evergreens and colored lights to the center of the Main and Maple streets intersection and then suspended a lighted cross. Costs of the material were footed by the village. Prior to that time, Nashville’s sole community Christmas decor was a huge evergreen tree in Central Park decked out with colored lights in a project organized and partially financed by the local Woman’s Literary Club in 1928. Today, Nashville’s Main Street glows with large lighted ornaments and other traditional decorations, thanks to the Chamber of Commerce and community contributions. Several years ago, the Chamber began buying a few new decorations each year with funds raised through various projects. To acquire enough money to complete the set, the organization solicited individual donations from the com­ munity in 1981 and capped the event with a Christmas in July celebration that year. Due to the generosity of local residents, the grand total collected in that drive was sufficient to purchase the additional decorations necessary to insure that each lamp post in the Main Street business district would be adorned for the Yule season. The DPW crew each year handles the job of installing the decorations, usually prior to Thanksgiving, and then taking them down and storing them sometime after the first of the year.

Putnam Public Library’s building fund received another boost last week from donations in memory of Kenneth A. Meade. Con­ tributions came from 21 department heads and 38 employees of Jackson’s Osteopathic Hospital where Dr. Meade’s son, Kenneth F. Sr., is administrator. Donations to the fund will help add a proposed $50,000 Children’s Wing to the present facility, and may be made at the library or mailed to Post Office Box C, Nashville, 49073. Receipts will be issued for all direct donations. Names of donors and of those designated in memorials will be inscribed on special scrolls to be displayed in the new ad­ dition. The community was saddened to learn of the death last Monday of former local resident Carma Maker at Daytona Beach, Florida. Her husband, Thomas, who owned and operated IGA stores here and other locations in Michigan, died six months ago. Both were residents of the Good Samaritan Center at Daytona Beach. They had retired to Florida back in 1956. Survivors include a son, Billy of Nashville, who with his wife, Bonnie, flew down Tuesday and returned home Friday. Services were held Thursday at Ormond Beach. Mrs. Maker also is survived by a daughter, Carma Bishop, who lives in Florida; a stepbrother, also of that state; and five grand­ children. Mrs. Maker suf­ fered a heart attack about a month ago and had been in failing health since that time. Condolences are exnded to the family. A letter last week from former local resident Guy Howell of Tucson, Ariz. expressed his sorrow on learning recently of the death of Kenneth A. Meade — a frequent contributor to this column. “I am glad you shared Kenneth Meade’s memories of cider-making,” wrote Howell. Those recollections were in Meade’s last letter to us, written three days before his death. Howell added a few reflections on some of the recent Memories features. “I remember Otto Lass very well. I used to stop at the mill and if he wasn’t busy, I would play checkers with him. I very seldom won because he was a master at the game, also chess. He could tell a person every move that they could possibly make. He also made puzzles. There was one that I remember. It had a board that had two rows of notebook rings nailed to it. There was a long loop ofwire that ran through both sets of rings. The object was to get the wire out of the rings. I never was able to do it.” Continued Howell: “I sure did enjoy the Memories of the Past for November 8 (based on a 52-year-old issue of the Nashville High School newspaper The Informant). I remember the play ‘Wild Ginger’ and all the characters in the cast... (also) the banquet of the (1931) Junior-Senior Hunt. I was a sophomore that year so I reckon I helped with the serving. The next year, I participated in the hunt. That was fun but I don’t think we found the seniors so we had to give them a banquet. I would like to see more of The Informant issues of that era.” (We plan to use some in future stories.) In early October, we re­ ran a Memories story on Merrill J. Hinckley’s eight­ sided Dixie gas station built in 1928 on the present-day site of the Pop Shop, at the intersection of South Main and Fuller streets. It brought back memories for Guy Howell, who wrote: “I remember very 'well the octagon Dixie service station. Dixie had a slogan, ‘The power to pass, that’s Dixie gas’.” On a final note, Howell commented on our recent coverage of the reunion of Nashville’s Class of 1931 and friends at the local Com­ munity Center. Of our photo of that event, Howell said he recalled all the names of the Class of ’31, "“but I didn’t recognize the faces.” There was one he knew, though, since during a summer visit to Michigan — his first here in 40 years — Howell had an opportunity to visit with Marion Snow Johnson, one of the organizers of the recent reunion, who now lives in Charlotte. 'Blaze orange caps and vests, flannel shirts and hunting jackets were the style of the day last Tuesday as many area residents participated in opening of the firearms deer hunting season. Some went north, but many stayed in this area to seek their trophies. Ac­ cording to officials, only Newago and Montcalm counties top Barry this year as the most favorable deer hunting site in the state. The Hubert Lathrops had a moving sale last week at their Main Street building. They hope to be in their new double-wide mobile home near Thornapple Lake before the end of the month. Thursday callers at the home of Clarence and Margaret Reid of Nashville were her parents, Vere and Olive Robinson of Bellevue. Supper guests were Darrel and Karen Reid and sons of rural Kalamo. Friday, Jennifer Reid and her mother, Mona, and brother Kendall brought cake and ice cream to her grandparents’ home — the Clarence Reids — to celebrate her sixth birthday. Also present were her father, Vaughn Reid; Diana, David, Ricky and Michael, local; Jerry Reid of Vermontville; and cousins Mindy and Erica Reid, Nashville. Saturday evening, Clarence and Margaret Reid attended the 25th wedding anniversary party of Jim and Marvel Cooper at the Nashville VFW hall. Sunday dinner guests were the Vaughn Reids, local, and the Jerry Reids of Vermontville. Mrk. Margaret Reid, accompanied by her mother, Mrs. Olive Robinson of Bellevue, went to Hastings Tuesday to pick up her sister, Mrs. Jean Endsley, and all went on to Grand Rapids to call on another sister, Mrs. Marjorie Schaperkatter. Many local residents are busy preparing for family gatherings and other gettogethers over the upcoming Thanksgiving weekend. We will look forward to your reports of holiday guests and visits to share with our readers in next week’s column. Students at Maple Valley schools will enjoy a four-day extended weekend due to the holiday. Classes resume Monday, Nov. 28.

New film on Corrie Ten Boom to be shown here Nov. 27 A special showing of the new World Wide Pictures release, “Jesus is Victor”, is scheduled for Sunday, Nov. 27 at Nashville Assembly of God, 735 Reed, Nashville. The showing, which is open to the public free of charge, will begin at 7 p.m. “Jesus is Victor” is a personal and intimate portrait of Corrie ten Boom, a Dutch Christian who, until, she was silenced by a stroke in 1978 at the age of 86, traveled the globe telling of her experiences in Nazi: occupied Holland during World War II. She and her family were responsible for saving the lives of hundreds of Jews through their work with the “underground”? Miss ten Boom’s ex­ periences have been related in a number or best-selling books, as well as through World Wide’s award-winning theatrical release, ‘‘The Hiding Place”. Let us give thanks... Irene “Jesus is Victor” gives the viewer an opportunity to meet Corrie face-to-face — to travel with her through 35 years of ministry in some 65 countries around the world — to discover the qualities of faith and courage that have made her a respected and beloved servant of God. This film represents Corrie ten Boom’s final appearance before a camera — just prior to her severe Former Nashville IGA owners wife dies in Florida Carma V. Maker, 75, formerly of Nashville, died Monday, Nov. 14, at the Good Samaritan Center, Daytona Beach, where she had resided since 1982. Her husband, former Nashville businessman Thomas M. Maker, also was a resident ofthe center at the time of his death last May. The couple had formerly lived in Orlando. The former Carina Brown was born July 17, 1908, in Battle Creek and attended Hillsdale College at Hillsdale. She married Maker on Sept. 14, 1929, at Reading. After their marriage, the couple resided in Battle Creek where both were employed by the WilcoxRich Corp. During World War II, he became manager of a wholesale grocery warehouse in that city, and the couple moved to Nash­ ville in 1947 when they became owners of the for­ mer Red and White Grocery. A year later, they moved the store into a building on South Main Street, and the store became Maker’s IGA. The Makers later became part owners in Maker’s IGA stores at Charlotte, Marshall illness. Executive Producer William F. Brown describes Corrie ten Boom as a beautiful example of how God’s love can give us the courage to face even life’s most difficult situations, and come out victorious. The film features Jean­ nette Clift, who starred as Corrie in ‘‘The Hiding and Albion, and sold their interest in 1956, when they retired to Florida. Mrs. Maker was a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints, Daytona Beach, in which her husband had served as secretary to the president of the state prior to his death. Survivors include a son, Billy, of Nashville; daughter, Carma Bishop of Daytona Beach; a step­ brother, Hugh VanFleet of Clearwater; and five grandchildren.

Of these, 325 totaling $67,592,377 were made by banks under SBA’s guaranty loan program. Another 22 for $1,979,400 were made directly by SBA. Raymond L. Harshman, SBA’s Michigan District Director, said that “this reflects SBA’s policy of increasing the involvement of the private sector in our lending programs. The participation of 119 banks across the state shows the growing acceptance of SBA’s guaranty loan program and multiplies our effectiveness in providing financing vital to Michigan counties. In Barry County, four guaranty loans with a value of $651,000 were approved. The most active area bank par­ ticipating in SBA’s guaranty Local scouts attend Merit Badge Workshop at MSU Five Boy Scouts from Troop 1J6 were among many throughout the state to at­ tend the First Annual Merit Badge Workshop held at Michigan State University. The Scouts were able to choose three merit badges to work on during a seven week period of time, meeting at Michigan State University with their merit badge counselors three Saturdays during the seven weeks. The boys used many of the MSU facilities for the workshops, such as the computer center, chemistry lab, golf course and planatarium. Members of Troop 176 who attended were Lee Ossenheimer, Bill Brauer, Ryan Rosin, Richard Perrier, and Nick Priddy. The five Scouts earned a total of seven merit badges and five more are near completion at this time. They also recieved a par­ ticipation patch for at­ tending the workshops. Dale Ossenheimer was the adult leader to attend with the scouts. loan program was United Community Bank of Wayland. Statewide, sixty 503 Certified Development Company (CDC) projects were approved with $12,824,000 to be provided to small businesses through SBA debenture guarantees. Harshman said that “the 503 program is an excellent vehicle to sustain economic growth because it provides fixed rate financing at reasonable rates and is specifically targeted to create jobs and to stimulate the growth of small buisiness.” It is estimated that 2,164 jobs will be saved and an additional 1,194 jobs created throughout Michigan when these projects are completed.

Instructor Dave Vitale Join Your Friends and Neighbors for Exercise Fun and Health To the Editor: Probably few people are aware that the millage required to meet the budgetary needs of Eaton County is the lowest of any bordering county. This means that cost of county government, when it is related to property taxes, is lower in Eaton. The County of Eaton operates on fixed millage. This was established by a vote of the people some years ago. Under this system, the county gets 5.5 mills, the schools 8.5 and the townships 1 mill. Many other counties operate through the Allocation Board procedure. In this system, the units of government take their needs to the board each spring. To a degree, they “plead” for enough of the 15 mills available to cover their own budgets. The amount of millage granted can change from year to year to a slight degree. Underr “fixed” millage, it is known in advance exactly what can be expected. By the mere mechanism of holding a public hearing, Eaton County could spread 5.5 mills for county operations. We have not done so. Last year, we rolled the millage back from the 5.5 to 5.1359 mills. The budget requests were scaled down to make this possible. For the 1983 property tax levy, the millage will remain the same as last year. Very frankly, I voted for a levy that would have been onetenth of a mill lower. I was convinced that the budget could be balanced at the lessor figure. All county, budgets are required by law to be balanced, in fact, and not merely on paper. My colleagues were convinced that dropping the orie tenth To The Editor: West Michigan Shores Council is a Grand Rapids based:unit of scouting that serves 12 counties in Michigan including the village of Nashville. They have told Scouters and United Way volunteers in Nashville that they have a contract with UW which requires any money collected for scouting must be sent to WMSC in Grand Rapids. Mr. Richard Miller & Mr. Don Nelson have sent numerous letters to UW people, and scout leaders demanding money and curtailing our participation in council activities. WMSC, with some local, help conducted a door to door campaign Nov. 1, ‘83 and raised $400. This money went to Grand Rapids to provide Nashville’s portion of Grand Rapids’ budget. There is some question as to whether we receive $400 worth of service. We finally received a letter from Michigan United Way that says there is no contract mill would be cutting too close. I did not prevail and lost my vote on that one. Eaton County has one of the finest staffs of competent and dedicated employees possible. They certainly give of their best. It was not out of any concern that pay increases were not earned that caused me to vote against and across the board in­ crease of five percent. I feel, however, that the economy would be best served if there were no across the board increases in wages in any units, public or private, at the present time. In fairness, it must be pointed out that in all governmental units and including education, increases are being given. The increase granted by Eaton is less than in many other areas. With everything taken into consideration, Eaton County has a tax rate for county purposes that ranks among the very lowest. The finance committee and the entire board is made up of prudent and conservative members who will certainly make every effort to keep it that way. Even though I lost some votes, I have only praise for my colleagues on the finance committee. I have never served on a committee with men of greater integrity and common sense. Al Starr is chairman and Bill Powers, Leonard Peters, Carroll Moon and myself comprise the committee. Incidentally, by keeping as tight a budget as possible, Eaton County has been able to roll back from the 5.5 mills and to save taxpayers nearly $400,000.

There has been a lot of misinformation passed to us by Grand Rapids Scout Council and we wish to simply state the facts.

Call named ‘Marine of the Year’ by Susan Hinckley Marine Corp, reservist Cpl. Rodney L. McMillon, 21, of Vermontville, has been named Marine of the Year of Bridge Company at Battle Creek’s Fort Custer. “There were several outstanding Marines to choose from and the com­ petition was tough,” noted officials in making the an­ nouncement. 1980 A graduate of Maple Valley High School, Corporal McMillon is the son of Mr. and Mrs. Lowell McMillon of Guy Road, Nashville, and lives on Lawrence Highway with his wife, the former Corrine Cole. He is employed"full-time at Meijer’s Distribution Center in Lansing and serves one weekend a month as a Marine reservist. He joined the Marine Corps in November 1980 and was promoted to his present rank December 1982, having served the entire time with Bridge Company where he now is a combat engineer. “Corporal McMillon has set the example by his demonstrated leadership ability, high state of physical readiness and perfect drill and ATD attendance,” stated the official announcement. (ATD is Active Training Duty.) In physical fitness testing, McMillon scored a perfect 300. That stamina was demonstrated recently by McMillon in an event unrelated to the honor. In a November 12 Run for Tote in Battle Creek, he won the three-mile race in which Marines and civilians participated.

It is a story of a football team which was struck down by a devastating blow, but who returned the favor 371 days later. It is a story of the Maple Valley football team: 1983 Southern Michigan Athletic Association champions. The team’s prodigious tale actually began last Nov. 29 when it met Pennfield for the first SMAA championship. It was a battle of unbeatens and the type of confrontation which would have the locals talking about for years. The game lived up to the billing. The lead see-sawed back and forth until the outcome came down to the last play. Pennfield quar­ terback Newt Callahan heaved a desperation pass to Scott Grimes into the corner of.the Panther end zone 33 yards away and Grimes miraculously snatched it as the final gun sounded. For the crushed Maple Valley football team, it was more than a loss. It was the devastating way the team lost the game. The game was right in the team’s grasp — they could taste it — and then just as quick it was gone. Fortunately, however, not forever. The loss only served to pull the team closer together and this season the £ VALLEY VIMIUfT mnEMUey Maple Valley Football squad team gained revenge on the Pennfield team that had so crushed them in 1982. “I don’t think you ever get over something like that,” says Lion coach Dan Watson of that loss now, two weeks after Maple Valley knocked Maple Valley coach Dan Watson models one of the shirts be bought for the players, coaching staff and cheerleaders for the Lion football team. •mfuvmlet i i WLW o VALLEY The Maple Valley football team in the front row (from left) John Clements, Scott Joostberns, Robert Browne, Pat Resseguie, Rob Franks, Dale Montague, Chug Maruer, Mike Campeau, Dan Watson.

I can recall every play,” he says. “Like if there was anything I could have called that could have won the game. “For whatever reason, I guess we just weren’t supsed to win that game.” Largely because of that loss, Watson admits it was a particularly long winter and then summer waiting for the 1983 season. That waiting was made easier by the fact that Watson knew with 14 lettermen back, including eight starters, the Lions would have an excellent chance of evening the score with the Panthers. But not without hard work. During the summer Lion captains Dale Montague and Rob Franks organized threea-week workouts which included lifting weights, running plays and playing touch football. Watson set two goals for the 1983 team: to go through the season undefeated and to win the SMAA cham­ pionship. Goals which he says now were realistic. “I knew they wouldn’t be easy,” says Watson of the goals, “but I thought they were realistic with the group of people we thought we had.” Continued on next page- Scott Everett (10) runs around end against St. Philip.

Tuesday, November 22, 1983__Page 9 Even so, the 1983 season didn’t start out quite they way Watson envisioned. In the team’s opener on Sept. 9 the Lion offense sputtered and wheezed in a 13-0 loss to Fowler. But Watson wasn’t fazed. There would be a couple of brief moments later in the season when his patience would be tested, but this wasn’t one of them. “I thought we played a good game,” says Watson looking back. “I knew they (Fowler) were a good team coming in.” Fowler would later prove Watson correct as it com­ pleted an undefeated regular season before losing to Waterford Our Lady 14-13 in the state playoffs. After the Fowler loss Maple Valley found them­ selves pitted against Lakeview. In that game the offense again had problems, as the Lions found them­ selves leading only 7-0 at the half against a mediocre Lake view team.. However, Maple Valley scored on its first two possessions of the second half and went on to beat Lakeview 21-0. Finally Watson saw his team doing some of the things it would take to win a championship. “We were ready to comeback and go after the league title,” says Watson of the game. Indeed, Lions the proceeded to lay waste to Olivet, Bellevue, Springfield, St. Philip and Bronson in the suceeding weeks. Not without, however, some anxious moments. Watson points out two particular moments against Olivet and then Springfield when his team was put to the test. Against Olivet, for example, the Eagles scored a second quarter touchdown to wipe out a 7-6 Lion lead and it looked like Olivet was going to gather some momentum. They did but it only lasted one play.

An An improved improved Rams Rams team team had held Maple Valley to a 0­ 0 tie at halftime. “I thought to myself, ‘How are we ever going to score,’” recalls Watson. “But the kids kept telling me not to worry, they were gonna score. “They didn’t have near the doubts I did.” Maple Valley put Watson’s doubts to rest scoring the first two times they had the ball in the second half. Watson says keeping the team mentally ready each week was relatively easy. With the goal of an un­ defeated season gone after the Fowler game, Watson turned to something else as motivation. “We wanted to be know as the best Maple Valley team ever,” says Watson. “And we knew it would take an 8-1 team to be that. It was their goal as much as mine.” He says he tried to keep his team from looking ahead to Pennfield., “We probably talked about them — I can’t say we forgot them,” says Watson. “We knew we were going to have to play them, but we still had to prepare for the next game each week.” Finally, after Maple Valley had demolished Bronson 37-14 on Oct. 28, it was time for The Game. Again the game was going to be for the SMAA cham­ pionship as Pennfield had waltzed through its schedule.

Trowbridge Service 130 S. Main St., Vermontville - Ph 726-0569 One week after the Maple Valley players had chanted, “We want Peimfield, We want Pennfield,” on the bus coming back from Bronson, they had their chance. “It was just a relief to be able to finally put all our energy into that game,” says Watson of the Pennfield clash. The game, like the one the previous year, was billed as a dash of powers — a defensive game whose outcome would probably be decided on breaks. The team, the school, and the community prepared for the game with the sole intent of bringing Maple Valley High School it’s first football championship ever. Watson says the game was im­ portant to anyone connected with football. “I told the kids that it would be defense that would decide the game,” says Watson. “If we could hold them to one touchdown we could win. If we gave up two we’d be in trouble.” The game was played in front of 3,000 rabid fans and most went away happy on that night. The game­ breaking play occurred in the second quarter when Robert Browne blocked a punt and ran it into the end zone for the lead. Pennfield later scored a fourth quarter touchdown after Maple Valley was stopped on a fourth down gamble deep in its own territory. Panther coach Dave Hudson elected to kick the extra point which sailed wide. There are those who would suggest that Pennfield ac­ tually outplayed Maple Valley — just the opposite of a year ago. Watson doesn’t buy that. “I would disagree,” he says. “I would say the game was equally played. There were two excellent defensive teams out there.” Even now, two weeks after the contest, Watson down­ plays the revenge factor. “We honestly never talked about it,” he says. “I guess I didn’t have to. The players certainly remembered. We went over our reasons for wanting to win and that was one of them. But there were others.” As for next year, Watson will again have an excellent nucleus of talent to work with. He says the other coaches will probably point to the Maple Valley game. But Watson says that’s just fine. “If that’s a part of success, I’m glad to have it,” he says. “There were five other schools that wish they were in our shoes. “I just thank God it’s us.” Vermontville news by Ava Kroger Deer hunting has been the Mrs. Sally (Fisher) Granger, 39, cousin and main topic of discussion this week.

The Maple Valley Quiz Bowl team currently has a three-one record in the S.M.M.A. This year’s Quiz Bowl schedule is very different from last year. Unlike last year’s double elimination tournament, this year the team will follow a schedule similar to the athletic teams. Some of the procedures have also changed. The league has purchased the competition questions from a company in Texas. These questions came in sets of 70 questions each. Therefore, instead of two-halves of one half hour competition, there are two-halves of 35 questions each. The questions cover a wide variety of subjects, in­ cluding: liberal arts, theology, science, and current events. There will be two-halves of league play. The winner of the first half will play the winner of the second half for the league championship. Last year, as a new event in extra curricular ac­ tivities, it was at times difficult for the coach to put together a five-man team. This year, there are enough students involved to have three teams. The team members are: Tom McArthur, Captain; Ray Ashcraft, John Myers, Audrey Dumont, Dawn Pixley, Mark Valdick, Jay O’brien, Craig Ostergren, Dan Lykins, Robert Adkins, Ann Hummel, Nathan Shogren, Kevin Wetzel, Jeff Sleeper, and Mike Guthrie. Maple Valley, Bellevue and Olivet also have J.V. teams. At this point,, Maple defeated Valley has Springfield and Bronson. We lost to Bellevue in over time. As last year, this was a down-to-the-wire situation where Maple Valley and Bellevue played in over time where Maple Valley was victorious. Come support the team!

JOAN and HOMER WINEGAR Christmas Past” coming to Charlton Park Enjoy the traditions and spirit “Of Christmas Past...” at Historic Charlton Park Village and Museum in Hastings. Focusing on one of the most family oriented holidays of the western world, history comes to life on December 3-4 and again on December 10-11. Ac­ tivities begin at 10:30 a.m. each morning and end at 3:30 p.m. each afternoon. Ad­ mission is $1.25 for adults (16 and over), $1 for senior citizens, 50 cents for people 5-15, and those under five are admitted free. Imagine a Christmas without the com­ mercialization; a Christmas as it was 100 years ago when, instead of watching television, families gathered around the parlor (the 19th Century equivalent of the living room) to read Dickens’ “A Christmas Carol”, and when decorating of the tree was a major family project. There was no plastic then, so the tree and all of its decorations were made of more natural elements: glass, wood, and paper. Throughout the two weekends, visitors will be able to participate directly in this look-at-another-era by .“hands-on” experiences. Like the family at the turnof-the-century, they will sit around the parlor and help decorate the tree. Staff and volunteers will assist and provide supervision and instruction. Homemade cookies, coffee, and mulled cider will be served at dif­ ferent places in the village’s shops and residences. Several crafts — including candle-dipping and spinning — will be done using visitor involvement, while others will be demonstrated and interpreters will be in the buildings to give tours and answer questions. A dif­ ferent tree will be decorated by visitors and staff on each day of the celebration, creating an informal decorating competition. According to Charlton Park’s director, John Pat­ terson, “This event is designed to accomplish several things. It is our goal to get the public involved in learning about our heritage. We wish to do this through direct, participatory experiences whenever possible. By encouraging visitors to use all of their senses — smell, taste, and touch, as well as sight and sound — they will learn more, learn it faster, retain it longer, and enjoy it more. “Like so many things in life,” he added, “words alone can’t accurately describe them — things like carrying wood from the wood shed to the house. Our Christmas event is so much the better because it is structured as a family event, where all of the family members can learn by doing.” For more information, call (616) 945-3775.

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 to the November holiday. Before the turn of the century, one such event was the annual Thanksgiving Day hunt in which local males divided into two teams and took to the fields in search of game. Reward 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 after the building was completed in 1877. Another Nashville holiday event ’of yesteryear was the annual Thanksgiving football game staged at the old Riverside park. Most years the contest was between the local squad and that of Charlotte or some Talented local musician Hiram W. Walrath, a W. cobbler by trade, was res- sponsible for arranging many of the Thanksgiving dance events which were staged at Nashville's 1877 opera house over some 40 years. other area high school. were divided into two teams Occasionally, however, it-z .and,all left at 8 a.m. and had was a strictly local affaif • until noon to report in with with alumni challenging the their game.

Before the turn of the century, a community game hunting contest was a highlight of the day. After 1900, play by the local high school football team became an annual holiday aattraction. And in both the 19th and 20th centuries, Thanksgiving dances at the local opera house were a drawing card. Commencing in the early 1900's and for some quarter-century thereafter, a Thanksgiving Day gam at the old Riverside athletic field was a popular afternoon event. If the NHS eleven had no scheduled contest with another school, they were challenged by a team of local alumni. Member of this 1916 squad may have played in the holiday contest as students and later as alumni. They are, front row, from left; Wayne Kidder, Elvars Larabee, Merle Vance, Vern Bera, Earl Gibson, Glenn Smith, Charlie Dalhouser.

The high school football eleven and an alumni team met at Riverside park Thanksgiving Day in a benefit game for Jack V. Downing, and after a rather thrilling struggle, the hostilities ended with honors even, the score standing at 6 to 6. 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 Caley, Jesse Guy, Bill Face, Shirley and Nelson Brumm, Dale DeVine, Dr. O. O. Mater, Ralph Olin, L. W. Face, 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 McConnell, 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. 1945.. . The Nashville Woman’s Literary Club met at Putnam Library November 21 in observance of Thanksgiving Day, with Mrs. Ward Smith acting as hostess. Mrs. Ernest Balch, accompanied by Mrs. Hale Sackett, led the group in singing “Now Thank We All Our God”. The story of Thanksgiving was given by Mrs. Fred Camp... For the first time in 20 years, Mr. and Mrs. Jesse Harlow of Maple Grove had all their children home on Thanksgiving Day... Claude Miller, son of Mr. and Mrs. Clifton Miller, arrived with his discharge in time for Thanskgiving.

The boxed notice on this page concerning Union Thanksgiving services is to call your attention to the correct date, which is Thursday, Thanksgiving morning at 10 o’clock.

Mrs. Howard McDonald, assisted by wives, of the other ministers, is arranging the musical program... Friends from Hastings, Stony Point and Nashville met Thursday at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Charles Matson for a double celebration. In keeping with Thanksgiving they also honored Mr. and Mrs. Matson, who were recently married at Charlotte. The table was beautifully decorated for the event, and the daughter, Mrs. Victor Osborne of Hastings, acted as hostess. After wishing the couple many more Thanksgiving Days, the guests departed for their homes. 1950.. . Dr. and Mrs. 0. O. Mater and sons Gene and John spent Thanksgiving Day with friends near Warrenton, Virginia. On their way home, they were caught in a traffic jam on the Pennsylvania turnpike and had to detour around Pitt­ sburg, arriving home late Monday night. 1952.. . Mr. and Mrs. Marcel Evalet, who spent the deer season at their cabin in Antrim County, returned home Monday with a deer. Mr. and Mrs. C. O.

Sap ItHj rffitftKI; leptite dtatesakii ph«ul M. upcoming ilSO-Gwi IFTCERTIFtCffl ;:'l‘ The sign' near the front of the massive Municipal Auditorium in Kansas City, Missouri states, “FFA Keeping America On The Grow’. The 23,000 blue-jacketed FFA members who overflow the auditorium and nearby H. Roe Bartie Hall are the Leaders of tomorrow. These blue jacketed masses from all over the United States (including Nashville and Vermontville) and Puerto Rico are not just the agricultural leaders - the skills they learn and develop make them also the civic leaders of tomorrow. The FFA is the largest youth organization in the world - nearly 5001000 members strong. Each year in early November, since 1928, all FFA roads have led to Kansas City. 1983 marked the 56th Anniversary of the Future Farmers of America. The organization known as FFA is intracurricular in Public Schools offering vocational agriculture classes. It is taught during school hours, although many activities take place after school. On Nov. 6, a group of representatives of the Maple Valley FFA, their Advisor, their luggate (and enough munchies for a group twice their size) departed Ver­ montville bound for the National FFA Convention in Kansas City, Missouri. A cavalcade of parents of the six FFA members looked on as-the departure of their children marked the first time Maple Valley has taken its own group to national convention - “at least”, according to Principal, Burr Hartenburg, “in recent years.” The pick-up truck, driven by FFA Advisor, Rob Schwalm, was heavily laden with its blue jacketed cargo! According to Schwalm, this trip was made possible by a special grant of $400 donated by Farm Bureau Services. All seven each took an ad­ ditional $200-$300 of their own money. A trip of this length (approx. 1900 miles round trip) and duration (8 days) is more than just a three day convention - it’s an entire learning experience. Sunday evening (Nov. 6) found the group overlooking the air traffic on O’Hare International Airport, the world’s busiest, in Chicago, ill. Monday morning (Nov.7) the group viewed the new 32,000 square foot Commodity Trading Floor at the Chicago Board of Trade,, downtown Chicago. This, the largest Commodity Trading Institution in the world, is an experience in itself. (So is the Chicago traffic at rush hour on Monday morning!) From the Board of Trade, the group walked to the Sears Tower - tallest building in the world. The panoramic view covers all of Chicago from its 1454’ Ob­ servation Deck. The green Ford pickup (with the M.V. group inside) then made its last Chicago stop at the Museum of Science and Industry. The Museum set on the shores of Lake Michigan is packed with hundreds of exhibits from Agriculture to Zoology. Bidding farewell to the calm (!!) of Chicago the group headed for Moline, Ill. and the John Deere Har­ vester Works where all the monstrous green and yellow John Deere combines are produced. With an overnight stop in Rock Falls, Ill. The M.V. group reached Deere Inc. Headquarters in enough time to look over the large area Deere has indoors packed with old and new farm memorabilia. After a Deere sponsored chicken dinner, M.V. FFA group along with several other FFA groups from all over the Eastern and Midwestern U.S. toured the buildings where many of the combine parts are produced and all of the Deere combines are assembled. Next stop - over night in Quincy, Illinois. Then, next morning the last leg of the trip to K.C., with a brief stop in Chillicothe, Missouri, home of the late Jerry Litton and the Litton Charlais Ranch he founded. Jerry was killed, along with the rest of his family in 1976 in a plane crash - on the very eve he was elected U.S. Senator from Missouri! The group arrived in Kansas. City to briefly look over the convention 4 p.m. EST on Wednesday. Then a 25-mile drive to Olathe, Kansas to their motel rooms at the Olathe Best Western. Upon arriving back at the FFA Convention the M.V. group found the doors closed to the main arena - one hour before the opening of the Vespers program. A short trip to the basement held a viewing screen for closed circuit TV. The 21,000 seat Auditorium was filled plus 500-1,000 people in the closed circuit TV room! A very impressive sight for anyone! The convention went all too fast and Friday evening once more found the group on the road. This time the road was 1-70 from K.C. to St. Louis. At 10:30 p.m., the green Ford pickup was 40 miles short of St. Louis and another motel stop. Saturday morning found the M.V. group touring historic St. Louis, Missouri. The main attraction was the St. Louis Arch. The group had their hearts set on a trip up into the arch, however, a 2:40 p.m. departure time for their trip into the Arch (due to prior groups having bought all the tickets up to 2:40 p.m.) left the travelers with 3-hours to kill. Under the St. This is the Municipal Auditorium in Kansas City, Missouri where 23,000 FFA members, including six from Maple Valley and their advisor, gathered for their national convention. The Ag Career Show featured nearly 400 career exhibits for donventiongoers to see. ^TIME Christmas Special For... Pizza Lovers ”—— COUPON | !!

Nashville. Tuesday. November 29. 1983 — Page 10 Fence row to fence row crop management will be outlined by Roger A. Betz, Ext, Agri. Agent Farmers have historically expanded their crop production following a short­ crop year, so it’s likely that they'll plant fence-row to fence-row in 1984. When this happens, har­ vest prices generally drop, so it may be another tough year for farmers. The annual Seed, Weed and Fertilizer School Dec. 13-14, may help make farm management a little easier. Sponsored by the Michigan State University Cooperative Extension Service, the twoday event will be held at Long’s Convention Center in Lansing. Activities begin at 9:30 a.m. each day. “A substantial segment of the school will include guidelines for managing and marketing what is likely to be a fence-row to fence-row crop in 1984,” says Maurice Vitosh, MSU Extension agronomist and school coordinator. The moring session of the first day will include a market forecast for grains, the outlook for fertilizer costs, and marketing and tax management recommendations. Topics on the afternoon’s program include Michigan soil fertility and corresponding use of fer­ tilizer, and a special session on using computers for farm management. Wednesday’s topics in­ clude no-till, current developments in MSU’s grain breeding programs and herbicide recommendations. The school is intended for farmers, agribusiness representatives and others interested in Michigan agriculture. Preregistration - $15 per person - must be made before Dec. 9. Late registration, which can be made at the door, will be $20. The registration fee includes a copy of the school proceedings. Checks should be made payable to the Michigan Foundation Seed Association, P.O. Box 22155, Lansing, MI, 48909. Program details may be obtained from M.L. Vitosh, Dept, of Crop and Soil Sciences, MSU, East Lan­ sing, MI 48824. 4-H Marketing program is Nov. 30 Participants- in the 4-H agriculture marketing program will have hands-on experience in marketing a situational corn crop during a session on Wednesday, Nov. 30.

According to Dowe a fresh battery each year is required for proper operation even if the existing battery appears to still be good. He recom­ mends that batteries which are removed from smoke detectors be used in toys, flashlights, radios and other small appliances “One your life does not depend on”. According to national statistics supported by MSFA, by far the greatest number of injuries and deaths from fire occur in the home and most often during the night while inhabitants are asleep. The increase in home fires during the Holidays is attributed to careless use of Christmas trees, decorations, candles and gift wrapping materials. An additional factor is the cold winter weather during which inproper use of por­ table heaters is often the cause of home fires. Smoke detectors provide the household with two benefits according to MSFA officials. First, they help reduce death and injury from fire by getting the inhabitants up and out of the home to safety. Second, because a smoke detector responds early to a fire, damage to the home is often minimized because the alarm is sounded before the fire has a chance to spread. Founded in 1875, the Michigan State Firemen’s Association is a professional organization of career and volunteer fire fighters. The association sponsors public fire prevention eduction programs and provides information to promote recognized fire training activities for local fire departments as' well as in­ terested individuals. 1658 Lansing Rd., Charlotte - Ph. 543-0733 Automotive Service Center - Ph. 543-1197 The Saving Place 25% OFF Selected Men’s & Ladies’ Cologne Offer Good Dec. 4 Only SUNDAY DECEMBER 4th Quick Phone 5p.m. To 8p.m Reg. $13.97 Many unadvertised specials!

Rehearsal for the Christmas cantata, “He From our readers Snowmobilers of The Maple Valley Area: Well now that Thanksgiving is over, the turkey is all gone, and it is snowing out west, it is time to think of snowmobiling in our area. The snowmobile club is working very hard to see that we have a good and safe snow season, but your safety begins with you. This year for the first time the snowmobile club will conduct a snowmobile safety course for young riders ages 12 through 16. We now have a member that is a certified instructor, as we all are looking forward to our first class on Dec. 17. We are going to stress the safety factor, as well as all the things that have to be covered in this course. To the cross country skiers, you are invited to use the trails, if you so wish, but remember, the trails were leased by the snowmobile club and will be groomed by the snowmobile, we will share with you.but do be The Vermontivlle Bible Church will present their Christmas choir program Sunday Evening December 4, at 7:00 Everyone in the community is invited to attend.

By Saturday, however, the frigid tem­ perature climbed steadily up to a sunny reading in the low 50s in the Maple Valley area. careful, as there is no in­ surance to cover you, better yet come join us and have lots of fun all winter. To the people with the three wheel atv’s, sorry to say you are prohibited from using the said trails until such a time as can be proven that they do not harm the trail, and or do not leave deep ruts in the trail, again sorry folks. To the people that have wanted to buy a new snowmobile, this year is the year you have been waiting for. For the last four years the people in the industry have been told by the dubs, state associations, and anyone who could corner a factory rep. that we need a good dependable low priced machine. Well they are here now, and they never looked better. If you take into con­ sideration the inflation factor, the new sleds are about the same price as some of the early models, so take a look at the new sleds and then join a snowmobile club, and get set for fun in Michigan Outdoors. Our club at this time is planning many things to do this winter our annual safari, poker run, kids fund day, and hot dog roast. We try to do something every weekend if possible, and this looks like the best year in three, so come join the fun, and have the time of your life. Ken Sargent Maple Valley Drift Skippers Snowmobile Club. To the Editor: We would like to commend Representative Howard Wolpe for the role that he played in the demise of the Clinch River Breeder Reactor. His long dedicated opposition to this boondoggle was vindicated on October 26,1983 when the Senate tied the noose around the neck of Clinch River in a vote of 56 to 40 to eliminate funding for this controversial project. Since Congressman Wolpe first was elected to the Congress, he has been trying to stop this wasteful and unnecessary expenditure of taxpayer dollars. His suc­ cessful efforts to end this $8 billion boondoggle brings us one step closer to fiscal responsibility. We applaud Congressman Wolpe for his preseverence and we congratulate him on this victory. Sincerely, Jill Lancelot Director of Congressional Affairs for the National Taxpayers Union Award winners announced Maple Valley High School recently announced award winners for the 1983 fall sports season.

Mrs. Olith Hamilton of Nashville will host a meeting in her home of Nashville United Methodist Women at 7:30 p.m. Wednesday, December 7. In a repeat of a successful Thanksgiving event, Nash­ ville United Methodist Church will stage a “Walk With Food” for Christmas. During Sunday morning services, December 11, members of the congregation will walk down the church aisle and place contributions of nonperishible foods on the altar. Later these goods will be packed with poultry fur­ nished by the church, and distributed to needy families in the area. The Builders Class is sponsoring the food drive. Horace Hull of the group Party Down and other friends from St. Cryil’s Church and the local com­ munity are organizing a Christmas party for Bryon and Dione (Shaw) Antes. The event is set for Satur­ day, December 17, starting at 8:30 p.m. at the local VFW Hall. Mr. and Mrs. Antes were very seriously injured in an auto crash last May near Grand Rapids, where they lived at that time. After lengthy hospitalizations, surgeries, etc., they are now recuperating at the home of her parents, Mr. and Mrs. William Shaw of Nashville. Bryon expects to be able to return to work after the first of the year. Dione, who was a registered nurse in the Burn Unit at Blodgett Hospital, has progressed in her recovery from wheelchair to crutches and leg braces — and now is using only one leg brace to get around most of the time. The party is planned by friends as a way of showing their love and concern for the young couple. Music will be fur­ nished by Party Down. Friends, relatives and public are welcome. Donations will be accepted at the door. Golden Agers of Nashville United Methodist Church will meet for a noon potluck dinner Friday, December 9, at the home of Clifton and Evelyn Mason on Lawrence Highway.

The following story of that tragedy was first published as a Memories of the Past on February 6, 1980.) “Greater love hath no man than this, that he lay down his life for another,” reads the ancient inscription on a headstone in the older section of Nashville’s Lakeview Cemetery. It marks the grave of Irving Boston, drowned December 4, 1894, at age 21, and tells the tale of an almostlegendary sacrifice. Irving died a hero’s death, perishing in the icy waters of the Thornapple River along with a young skater whom he was endeavoring to save. The daring rescue attempt turned into a tragedy which was attended by widespread community sorrow, and brought much acclaim to Nashville. Irving’s heroic death was memorialized in poetry and other tributes that poured into the village from throughout the country. The hero was the son of Adaline and William Boston, proprietors of a brick yard on Nashville’s south side where much of the material used in early local con­ struction was manufactured. (The Boston kilns were located on the west side of present-day M-66 just south of the Casgrove street in­ tersection. The red two-story brick home built in 1878 by the Boston family on the east side of the road still stands.) Chronicling the hero’s death was The Nashville News, where young Boston had worked as a printer. Four days following the tragedy, this story appeared, headlined: “A Hero’s Death — Irving Boston Gives Up Life in a Vain Attempt to Save Clayton Barnes from Drowning”. The report continued: “The most distressing and heart-rending accident, which it has ever been our sad duty to chronicle, oc­ curred just at dusk on Tuesday evening, and resulted in the death of Ir­ ving Boston, son of Mr. and Mrs. William Boston, and Clayton Barnes, son of Mr. and Mrs. 0, D. Barnes. “Quite a large number of young people were gathered on the (mill) pond after school in the afternoon, enjoying skating, which was particularly fine. The ice was fairly safe on the north side of the pond, where the water was dead, but over the channel the ice was very thin, and very few had ventured to cross it. About 4:45, young Barnes went down to the south side of the bank of the river, about ten rods east of the bridge, put on his skates and started to cross the channel to join the party of skaters on the other side.” (1983 note: Barnes entered the river on what we now know as the Cooley property; the other skaters were near the present-day Langham home on the north side of the river, east of the North Main Street bridge.) “When Barnes had nearly reached safety, the thin ice This photo of the Nashville Fire Dept, in dress uniform iform was taken on December December 7, 7, 1894, 1894, the the day day of of Irving Boston s funeral, when the company served as an honor guard for their fallen comrade. Seated, from left, are Jim Hummel, Frank Brattin, Arthur Smith, Claude Hough, Al Weber, Ben Hecox, Charles Walrath. Second row: Allen Bell, William Irland, Sam Casler, Earl Townsend, Emmett Sr~ith, Ray Townsend,- gave way under him and he went down. The alarm was at once raised and a number of skaters went to his assistance. “Clare Furniss was in the lead and laid down on the ice to prevent its breaking, and was endeavoring to crawl out far enough to enable him to reach Barnes, when Irving Boston came flying down (on skates) as fast as he could from further up the pond, and without a moment’s hesitation plunged into the icy water after the drowning youth; at the same time the ice gave way beneath Furniss and the three were struggling in twelve feet of water. “They could not climb up on the ice, which was so thin that it gave way beneath their weight; someone threw one end of an overcoat to Furniss and he was pulled out. Barnes had thrown his arms around Boston’s neck and effectually prevented Irving from either helping him or saving himself. “Vic Furniss, who saw the accident from the street, had meanwhile taken a pair of lines from off a horse, tied them together and came on a run to the help of the two boys who were still in the water. “He rolled out upon the ice as far as he dared and threw the line to Boston, who was evidently too far gone to realize that life was within his grasp. Vic accordingly threw off his coat and shoes and passing one end of the line back to the crowd, took the other end and sprang into the water, but in the meantime, the two boys had disappeared and he could not Irving Boston, second from right, became an a I most-legendary Nashville hero when he perished in 1894 along with a young skater he was attempting to rescue from the icy Thornapple River. The son of prominent local brickmaker William Boston, Irving was a volunteer Nashville fireman and had worked as a printer at the Nashville News office.

Arthur Smith, left, was the one who brought word to the Boston family that Irving had drowned. His whereabouts in later years is unknown. find them; and Vic was finally pulled out, well-nigh exhausted.” The News account then detailed how boats were procurred and a search for the bodies begun: “The news (of the tragedy) had spread rapidly and a large con­ course of people had gathered on the bank to watch... among the crowd being many weeping women and children, while by no means all of the men had dry eyes..” Barnes was brought up in half an hour; Boston, ten minutes .later. The body of Barnes was taken to his parents’ home nearby. The body of Boston was taken first to the residence of Dr. L. F. Weaver before being taken to his home in the southern part of town. Accounts still linger today of the torch-lit" entourage that bore Irving’s body home. Many conveyances came streaming toward the Boston residence, following the wagon on which lay the body of the young hero. “Nothing in the history of Jasper Deeds, Frank Dickinson, John Messimer, Bert PParody, d Rd l LLen Red Sith Smith, Ed Ed Ptll Partello, A A.

N. F. Sheldon conducting the services,” related The News. (1983 note: This is the present-day Trinity Gospel Church on Washington Street at Queen.) “School was dismissed and his schoolmates assembled with the others to pay their last tribute to the memory of their playmate.” Young Barnes was in­ terred in Hdsmer Cemetery, northwest of the village on present-day East State Road. The funeral of Irving Boston was conducted at the Methodist Church at two o’clock in the afternoon of the same day (Friday, December 7) and was “undoubtedly the most largely attended of any funeral ever held in the village,” according to The News. Officiating at the Boston service was Rev. J. S. Steininger of the Evangelical Church, who was summoned home from revival work at Eckford. “The sermon was a touching one, and full of comfort to the dear ones who will so sadly miss their loved one,” noted The News. “The fire department of which Irving was a loved and valued member, acted as a guard of honor, and a quartette of their number furnished music for the funeral.” Irving, bom at Dexter, Michigan, was 21 years, 4 months and 7 days old at the time of his death, added The News account. “He leaves father, mother, brother, three sisters and a large circle of friends to mourn their loss.” The News extended the heartfelt sympathy of the entire community to the parents and relatives of the two boys. All business places in Nashville, including the Lentz Table factory, were closed during the Boston funeral. News of the tragedy spread rapidly and accounts of it were carried by other papers in the state. Soon, letters and poetic offerings eulogizing Boston began to pour into Nashville. Many were written by total strangers moved by the young man’s supreme sacrifice. The Charlotte Tribune added this excellent tribute in reporting the tragedy: “We little know who are the heros, but every demand is met by someone who, called by a sudden impulse, im­ perils his own life to save that of another. What a grand attribute of humanity is this! Such leaven as this will save the race. Greater love hath no man than that he gave his life for his friend.” One of the tributes to Boston was composed by early local writer Adda Nichols, and was published in The News as follows : “We wondered that the moon and stars so calmly could look down, With undiminished splendor shine upon our stricken town, When on that lonely winter, night, with unrelenting breath, And without one moment’s warning, came the icy hand of death, Taking one in early manhood, and one he tried to save, A helpless form from sinking ’neath the cold and cruel wave.” “The night was still, the fleecy clouds rolled silent on their way, Did they know that hearts were breaking at the close of that sad day? Could they look down and weep not o’er the desolation wrought? In one short hour from mirth to grief so many hearts were brought. The mortal and immortal land how short a step divides, Here, the weeping and the waiting; there, endless peace abides.” �The Maple Volley News, Nashville.

Anytime that a school comes away with a league cham­ pionship, it is a victory to be regarded with well deserved pride. It is my understanding that the same victory was all so close last year. To come back and win it all this year could only gladden the hearts of the team, the coaching staff, the entire school and the Maple Valley greater community as well. To give of your all, to play to win, and then be able to accept either victory or g defeat with the same grace and dignity, is the hallmark of high school athletics. In that spirit, winning can only be something to be treasured and the more prideful. I, too, am proud and privileged to passalongmy congratulations. Sincerely, Edgar Fleetham Eaton County Commissioner District 1 Roxand, Sunfield & Vermontville Twps.

When you go to your mail box and find your next phone bill, you’ll notice it’s changed in some ways. For example, there’ll be more pages because ause tne Dilling information will be more extensive and listed differently. These initial changes are the result of Michigan Bell’s SsiS? s- upcoming separation from AT&T on January 1.1984. We’d like to explain these wv *»*#*•> *» i< *•»*& je^ t/H^ changes. Probably the first and most important thing to understand is that after January 1,1984, your Michigan Bell bill may include $ charges from Michigan Bell and AT&T or other long distance service companies, but you’ll continue to pay the total bill to Michigan Bell. ffour billing information will be in three general categories: Basic Service. In the future, Michigan Bell will continue to provide and bill yourr basic telephone service, as well as your local l and zone usage. Included in your monthly service could be Custom Calling, Tbuch-lbne® Service, or optional calling plan charges. Michigan higan Bell will also bill you for any directory assistance charges you incur Long Distance. four long distance calls will be separated between those provided by Michigan Bell and those that after January 1,1984, are provided by other er long distance carriers but may be billed by Michigan Bell. They Will appear on separate pages. Telephone Equipment Charges. In the past, your telephone equipment pment charge charge was added into your charge for bbasic service. Now it will be itemized on a separate page. Ownership of the equipment Michigan Bell now provides you for a monthly fee will soon be trans­ ferred from Michigan Bell to AT&T Phone numbers will be listed on your bill to call if you have questions about your billing or service. And when you receive your new bill in December, a bill insert will clarify the various pages of the bill in much greater detail. W? want to do whatever we can to help you understand the changes that are taking place in your phone company. Please remember... rr’SAr&T WE’RE SEPARATING FROM... NOT YOU. (25) Michigan Bell Facts down the line. We suggest thatyou continue to watch your monthly telephone billsfor any additional changes in the billing format, repair sendee orproceduresfor establishing or changing telephone service. Also, becauseyour telephone business office is busily engaged in normal day-to-day telephone service matters, this toll-free number is a sourcefor answers to your questions aboutyour changing telephone company. 1 800 555-5000. �The Maple Valley News, Nashville, Wednesday, December 7, 1983 — Page 20 SECOND BIG WEEK OF OUR NATIONAL BRAND SALE Ground Beef from Chuck FARMER PEET BONELESS HOLLY FARMS GRADE A Chicken Leg Quarters Bonanza Hams ORDER YOUR FRUIT BOXES EARLY!

December 14,1983 — Poge 2 Nashville News granddaughter Stacey Hawblitz of Vermontville, and Blair’s mother, Mrs. Fern Hawblitz, local, returned home Tuesday after a two-week trip to Albuquerque, New Mexico, to visit their son and family, Mr. and Mrs. Kenneth Hawblitz and daughter Jennifer. While there, they also visited Vern and Dorothy Bera (she’s a sister to Fem) and enjoyed a pre­ Christmas family gathering at the home of Pete and Elaine (Bera) Holly. The Hawblitzes had good weather throughout their trip until last Tuesday when they ran into the snow storm which hit Indiana and Michigan that day. Winter arrived with a vengeance last Tuesday —­ fully two weeks ahead of schedule—and began taking its toll for the season. One casualty was your reporter, who was involved in an auto crash while returning from Battle Creek at the height of the storm. Injuries to head, chest and foot will keep me sidelined temporarily, but fared far better than my car — which was a total loss. Thursday morning, Mary Hecker of the Hecker Agency in Nashville took a nasty spill while getting out of her car behind her office. She was able to drag herself fiuin the parking lot into the building and reach the phone to call for help. Taken to Pennock Hospital by Nash­ ville Ambulance, Mary ~is Nashville locksmith Homer Snow and his wife, Tecla, appeared on Channel 8, WOTV, Grand Rapids last Thursday in an interview with roving reporter Dick Evans for his "On the Michigan Road” series. The film showing Snow’s ex­ tensive padlock collection was taped late last month. In August, Snow organized the first Southern Michigan Lock and Key Collectors meet here in Nashville. In the Thursday TV report, Evans showed some of the more unusual locks which Snow has collected over the past several years. Some of them date back to the time when Tecla came to the USA from Italy as a “war bride” following World War II — locks that were in what Evans called her “hope chest”. Interviewing Snow added another chapter to a number of interesting stories Evans has found in Nashville during the past few years.

Nashville, Wednesday, December 14, 1983 — Page 4 Memories of the pas by Susan Hinckley Holiday shopping plugged by local merchants by Susan Hinckley (Author’s Note: The following is a reprint of a Memories of the Past first published December 15, 1981.) The Nashville News (forerunner of the Maple Valley News) always has championed the cause of hometown shopping. Patronizing of local businesses seemed to take on added meaning in the mid19208, when the automobile came of age. In fact, the Nashville Chamber of Commerce was founded in 1926 by a group of business and professional men concerned that the auto and good roads soon would sound the death knell of small towns. The Christmas shopping season always brought renewed support for buying locally. “Why not patronize home institutions?” asked The News in a December 3, 1925 editorial piece. “How often we hear the remark, ‘trade at home’. Surely this pratice is to be commended — we should buy everything in the home town that we possibly can. We believe that if we will only take into con­ sideration the quality of the goods we wish to buy, we will invariably find that it isn’t necessary to patronize the mail order houses or even go to the cities to do our trading; “At least we should visit our local merchants and let them show us what they have along the lines we are in the market for, and let them name their prices.” In keeping with that ad­ monition, The News of that era published an annual Christmas shopping guide compiled by a repoter who visited local businesses on a “tour of inspection”. The issue of December 13, 1923 explains it well: “An­ ticipating the universal desire of the Christmas shoppers of the community to know where to find what they want to purchase and what is new and novel in the market, The News has during the past week been making its annual tour of the market places of the village and taking note of the stocks ■■ Clip & SaveRMBMH CHRISTMAS TREES — PREMIUM QUALITY — Scotch, Austrian, Red Pine 5 ft. to 7 ft..................

Each par­ ticipating merchant was allotted several inches of copy to convey to the public the types, brand names and general price ranges of holiday goods available in their stores. “The trip has been a genuine pleasure,” noted The News, of the 1923 shopping excursion, “For we have found that holiday stocks in general are larger and more diversified this year than ever before... One thing we noticed in almost every place visited is that the dealers have put in many novelties and more of the higher priced goods, of the class which people heretofore have felt they must go to a larger market to find. “This is something which will have a marked effect in inducing people to buy at home, rather than being compelled to go to Grand Rapids or some other large town to do all or part of their holiday shopping. “We assure you nothing of the kind will be necessary this year, for the buyers who cannot find what they desire in the Nashville stores this year will be few in number and hard to suit.” Twenty-five businesses were listed in the 1923 Christmas shopping grade published in The News. R. C. Townsend’s (later E. L. Kane’s) Postoffice Pharmacy was among that list. “Always a popular place to trade, the Postoffice Pharmacy is. fairly bursting this holiday season with much larger and more diversified display this Christmastide than ever before, noted The News. “All the brightest and best of the season’s novelties are on display, as well as the standard goods. The moderate purse can here be satisfied as well as the most expensive taste.” Nearby, the new Pendill furniture store, south of the post office and north of Hurd’s garage, was proving quite an attraction for holiday buyers of 1923. The store “has put in a brand new stock of furniture and is adding more each week,” The News reporter observed. E. Smead and Son were proprietors in 1923 of a big new variety store in the Hurd Block. (1983 note: this building recently housed uu Johnsons’ furniture and is now the home of Nashville Auto and Farm Supply.) The 1923 News report told readers: “Smead and Son are displaying a wonderful assortment of Christmas things, and the stock con- Though some folks rode trains to nearby cities to trade, wintery travel on uncer­ tain roads encouraged many early Nashville motorists to Christmas shop at home. Buying locally was a cause championed year-'round by the Nashville News. In mid-December of the 192O's era, the newspaper devoted its entire front page to a store-by-store shopping guide to alert holiday buyers to goods and services available in their hometown. This scene looks northeast near the former Dixie (later Mobilgas) service station on South Main, with the old railroad water tower in the background. tains pretty and useful ar­ ticles for every member of the household.„ It would take a whole page of The News to try to tell you all of the various lines, but we are sure you will make a mistake if you do not visit the big corner store during your holiday buying trip. “The store is prettily decorated, the windows are attractive, and there are plenty of clerks to wait on you and give you prompt and courteous attention. Prices will be found very reasonable, too. Across the street, The News shopper found a wide selection of goodies at Charles Diamante’s con­ fectionary. (1983 note: this is now the south portion of Kelley’s.) There were assorted boxed chocolates, handmade cream candies, and a full line of fresh fruits, plus freshly roasted peanuts of every imaginable kind. “No small town in the state has a finer or better equipped fruit and candy store than Mr. Diamante conducts for the people of Nashville,” concluded the writer. Another lively holiday stop was the confectionary operated by Dave Kuntz: “We found it a difficult matter to wedge our way into Dave’s Candy Shop, for it was well filled with eager buyers, who are making it one of the most popular places in town. His big fountain is busy most of the time and his sales of ice cream continues unabated.” Good things to eat also were found at John Appelman’s Corner Grocery, located in 1923 on the nor­ theast corner of the Washington - Main Street intersection. (Three years later, the store relocated diagonally across the street in the Buxton Block.) Groceries and Christmas goodies also could be found at Frank and Myrtie Caley’s South End Store. And at the Nashville Bakery, Wells Tallent was preparing all sorts of pies, cookies, cakes and rolls for holiday patrons. Then there was the Old Reliable meat market run by F. S. Lemmons, and a similar establishment operated by Floyd Everts. “Christmas isn’t really Christmass without the Christmas feast of good things,” observed The News, “and the family Yuletide dinner will certainly be a successful affair if you depend on the Everts market for your turkey or whatever you chose for the meat course.” Of Lemmon’s market, the writer noted that in addition to the traditional meat and fowl, the store “receives the finest brand of oysters fresh almost daily.” Other stops on The News’ 1923 holiday shopping tour included Goerge C. Dean’s clothing store for “Lad and Dad”; C. L. Glasgow’s hardware in the heart of town, and W. B. Bera and Sons hardware on the south end; Charles J. Betts’ plumbing shop; Ralph Olin’s Overland and Willys-Knight auto agency (located in the present-day Baby Bliss building) and the J. C. Hurd garage, where the proprietor was having “remarkable sales” on Durant and Star cars. “Certainly he is ready to supply you with the new car which will make the whole family happy for Christ: mas,” noted The News of Hurd’s enterprise. Of course, there were stops at the town’s two financial institutions: State Savings Bank and Farmers & Merchants. The latter was described as being “a busy and happy place these holiday times, for the spirit of Christmas has permeated there through the constant coming and going of its many patrons, drawing out money on their Christmas checks with which to do their holiday shopping, depositing money to cover the checks they will be drawing as they make their purchases, and transacting their regular banking business.” EWING WELL DRILLING Your dependable drillers in Eaton & Barry Counties WATER WELL DRILLING and PUMP SERVICE OFFERING COMPLETE ...

He notified Lansing police who forced open the trunk to discover young Bryon Yelinek alive and stuffed into a plastic bag. The twoyear-old boy had been the object of an extensive search following his disappearance several days earlier. “Your prompt attention and concern for human life resulted in the happy ending to an event that could have been tragic,” reads the award given to Bitgood by the Lansing Chief of Police and ’ Board of Com­ missioners. “You not only saved a life, you were in­ strumental in solving the case as Bryon was able to name his abductor.” A male friend of the child’s parents was later arrested and charged with the crime.

SALES TAX ON HOME PHONES - Legislation has been introduced in the Michigan house of Representatives that would repeal the sales tax on residential phones. The exemption would save the average phone customer $12 per year. JAILS AND JUVENILES - Under a proposal recently approved by the House Corrections Committee, 15 and 16 year olds could not be held in a prison or jail designed for adult prisoners. Instead, they would be released into the custody of a parent or guardian, placed in a foster home, or sent to detention centers. However, if they are being charged with violent crimes or are being tried as an adult, the proposed law would not apply. INCOME TAX WILL DROP TO 6.1 PERCENT JANUARY 1 - The state income tax increase enacted last spring will drop from 6.35 percent to 6.1 percent on January 1.

Krizek, County Ext. Director Have you ever heard someone complain that their prize rose has reverted back to a wild form-producing a small and not very showy flower? Very likely this is a result of improper winter protection. Most all roses sold today are grafted onto a rootstock. Cold winter temperatures can kill the showy top partt (called the scion), leaving the rootstock to grow and produce low quality flowers. Often these roses have only one set of petals. As the first step in avoiding winter injury, keep 17117 Remarkable new hearing aid introduced by Beltone OSilpHii srittfaWo® j-js jatKSd'iW jatKSd'iW® I Idwtato#®'* r^K»^*WIJaWBM »*2S31 »2S31 3*5# && i^JnX <*> g« Chicago, 1L-A new ALL in-the- ear hearing aid called the ALTO may help thousands hear better again yet is practically concealed from view.

Roses that are insect and diseasefree and have been properly nourished are more likely to escape winter injury than plants that have lost their leaves because of pests or nutrient deficiencies. Immediately after the first killing frost, while the soil can still be easily worked, pile soil 8 to 10 inches high around the cane. It is best to bring in soil from another part of the garden for this purpose. If you remove the soil from the rose beds you may injure the roots of the rose plants. After mounding soil about the canes, tie all the canes together to keep them from being blown about loosening the root system. Where the temperature regularly goes below zero, further protection is necessary. Pile hay, straw, or compost over the mounded canes. Hold it in place with a few shovelfuls of soil.

The public is cordially invited to attend the event, which starts at 7 p.m. Wednesday, Dec. 21. The UMC choir will present a cantata, “God Wrote the Song”, at the service. Since Christmas falls on Sunday, several local churches have altered their regular worship schedules for that day. Nashville Baptist will have a 10 a.m. service but no Sunday School or evening worship on Christmas. The same holds true for Church of the Nazarene, where the only worship service that day will be from 10 a.m. to 11 a.m. At the Assembly of God, there will be no Sunday School or evening worship but the morning service will be held from9a.m. to 10:30a.m. The United Methodists will conduct Sunday School and church services at regular hours on Christmas. Bitter cold weather, but snow enthusiasts should be pleased to hear weather experts predict that we will continue to have plenty of white stuff on the ground through Christmas. Youngsters hoping to find sleds, skates and skis under the yule tree are sure to be delighted with the forecast. This week, our Memories of the Past column features the first of a three-part boyhood reminiscence of former local resident Guy W. Howell of Tucson, Ariz. Earlier this year, the first edition of Howell’s recollection of his youthful years in Nashville made a big hit with readers. Howell has been working on his second edition since then, and with unplanned but perfect timing sent it out just as your reporter was tem­ porarily sidelined by auto injuries. Thanks to Mr. Howell, Memories fans can enjoy three weeks of refreshing new material instead of “reruns” which would have been offered while I recuperate. Your reporter continues on the mend, and has been cheered by the many ex­ pressions of love and con­ cern from friends and readers of this column. While it is too soon to predict when I will again be in­ dependently mobile, I plan to continue collecting news notes by phone and at the drop-off point at my home. The community was saddened last week to learn that “Jim” Jarrard had died Thursday at Leila Hospital after a lengthy battle against heart disease. Everyone in this area seemed to know and like Jim. He and his keen sense of huinor will be missed by many friends. The Mayo-Evans Birthday Club met Thursday, Dec. 8 at the Riverside Cafe in Bellevue for the annual Christmas party. Sixteen members were present for the luncheon, and later Secret Pal gifts were ex­ changed. Next meeting of Wishing you a holiday season filled with all good things. and Loan Association Four Convenient Locations to serve you Home Office • Charlotte, Michigan Nashville, Michigan * Eaton Rapids, Michigan • Olivet, Michigan the club will be in March at the home of Marion Hamilton. Volunteers are needed to help pack and deliver Christmas baskets to needy families in the Nashville community. Ruth Hughes, chairperson of the project, says packing will begin Wednesday afternoon, December 21, at the St. Cyril Parish Hall in Nashville, and continue on Thursday, starting at 9 a.m. Help is especially needed for delivery, as there are some 65 families on the list. Contributions of nonperishable foods and small toys are needed. Cash donations at Comerica Bank will help-buy canned hams. The latest contributions to Putnam Public Library’s building fund came last week in memory of Jack P. Green from Clarence and Hazel Spidel and George and Elaine Drikakis. Donations to the fund will help add a proposed $50,000 Children’s Wing to the present facility, and may be made at the library or mailed to Post Office Box C, Nashville, 49073. Names of donors and of those designated in memorials will be inscribed on special scrolls to be displayed in the new ad­ dition. After fracturing her pelvis in two places from a fall on snow and ice December 8, Mary Hecker of Nashville was able to return home from Pennock Hospital last week, and can move about with the aid of a walker. Mary is missed at the Hecker Agency and in the Main Street business community. Her many friends wish her a speedy recovery. Julie Michelle Murphy, a former local resident more recently of Morrison Lake, is back in Nashville with her maternal grandparents, Nate and LaDuska Sheldon, after an exciting but sometimes harrowing fivemonth stay in strife-torn Honduras. She and several other American youths were sent home from the Central American “hot spot” about three weeks ahead of schedule. All had been there as exchange students. Julie Michelle flew first to Florida, where her mother, Paula Kimble, now resides at Melbourne. Wednesday, she arrived at Kent County Intenational Airport in Grand Rapids and was greeted by a delegation of delighted relatives. Sunday, &he was honored at a family gathering at the new home of her aunt and uncle, Julie By Susan Hinckley Coffee at the Community Center in Putnam Park. In a recent newsletter, the FOL board said the organization is badly in need of workers to help at the various fund­ raising sales. During the past year, through book and baked goods sales, the FOL was able to donate $300 to the Putnam Public Library fund; buy $70 worth of shrubs for relandscaping the facility; and give $100 for periodical subscriptions at the library. Jr. and Sr. High youth of Nashville Baptist Church will have a Christmas party Wednesday evening, Dec. 21, with caroling starting from the church at 6:30 p.m. Also that same evening, adults in the Bible Study Class will go caroling in the local com­ munity. Mary and Steve Slag of rural Vermontville will host a 5 p.m. potluck supper Friday, Dec. 23, for the Young Adults Sunday School Class of Nashville United Methodist Church. Art Bateman of Nashville remains at Pennock Hospital following surgery there last week. Doug Vogt has been released from the hospital and is at the Barry County Medical Care Facility at the time of this report. The United Methodist Council on Ministries meets at7 p.m. Tuesday, Dec. 20, at the church and will be followed by an 8 p.m. meeting of the Administrative Board. The Clarence Reids of Nashville were dinner guests Saturday of the Vaughn Reids, local. Sunday, Clarence and Margaret attended the senior citizens dinner at Nashville Baptist Church. In the afternoon, they went to Paw Paw for the 50th wedding anniversary of former Hastings residents Richard and Dorothy Easy. Wednesday, Mr. and Mrs. Clarence Reid attended a coffee hour for Kellogg Co. retirees at the Valentine Center in Battle Creek. The Darrel Reids of Kalamo were Tuesday callers on the Clarence Reids. Mr. and Mrs. Vernon Reid and children were Thursday supper guests. Later callers were Jerry and Debbie Reid. All are of Vermontville. Jean Withey of Kalamo lost two pounds in one week just across from Kellogg School. The blaze was spotted after Roberts returned to the house from attempting to start the 1975 Pontiac. The auto sustained a burned dash and front seat. There was an audience of some 350 at the Saturday evening presentation of a Christmas cantata by the Nashville Baptist Church Choir. Despite bitterly cold weather, a repeat per­ formance Sunday night drew an estimated 500 persons. Theme of the cantata directed by Janet DeGroot was Jewish history leading up to the birth of Christ. The Nashville Ambulance was called out Saturday night to the Richard Phillips residence on Reed St. for his wife, Carol, who is now a patient at Bronson Hospital in Kalamazoo. We hope everyone will be extra cautious on the snow and ice, and have a safe, happy holiday season and a blessed New Year. For next week’s column, we are looking forward to reports of your various Christmas activities, trips and guests.

The packet is a simulation of a medical secretaries; actual tasks on the job. It involved taking medical dictation, keeping ac­ counting records, and scheduling appointments. The packet not only im­ proves the students’ shor­ thand skills, but also their typing, spelling, and punc­ tuation. The packet represents 25-30 hours of a Medical secretaries’ work. The students are expected to have no erros on any of their assignments, as would be required in a real office. Later in the year they will be assigned a legal packet which will broaden their skills even more by teaching them about the legal field and its procedures. Most of the students say it is very challenging and takes a lot of patience and time. They also concluded it would be easier if they weren’t typing on ancient manual typewriters! Christmas Savings Message It’s nearly here, the most festive time of the year, and along with the festivities, entertaining and partying comes those big gift buying sprees.

December 20, 1983 — Page 4 Memories of the DUSt — by Susan Hinckley Nashville memories of Guy W. Howell Guy Howell is seen with his mother, Florence, shortly after returning from one of his summer jaunts to visit her relatives in Alabama. Young Howell hitch-hiked south and worked in cotton fields there. (Note: Last May in this column, we presented a three-part series of boyhood recollections written by Guy W. Howell about his growingup days in Nashville. The stories were such a hit with our readers that we en­ couraged Howell to continue the writing project. Today we are pleased to publish the first installment of his "second edition". Parts two and three will appear in the next two issues of the Maple Valley News. Howell, who spent most of his adult life in the South and Southwest, now lives at Tucson, Arizona. Last summer he made is first return trip here in 40 years — but he has kept in touch with his hometown via the News. We are in­ debted to him for sharing these memories with us.) My first pair of ice skates were size 10 club skates. When I put them on my shoes, the front clamps barely caught in my shoe soles. A lever activated the clamps both front and back. My folks wouldn’t let me go on the river, so I practiced on the sidewalk close to our place. The sidewalk ended at our lot line. I reckon maybe there was a stretch of about 15 or 20 feet on the end of the walk that became very packed and hard. I learned to skate there. Those skate runners were about ‘A inch wide. The next Christmas, my folks gave me a pair of hockey skates which were the right size. One day I was skating at a pretty good clip when one of my shoes pulled out of the clamp and I took a rather nasty spill. That night I found some short carriage bolts, drilled a hole in the bottom of the shoes front and back, under the insole, and bolted the skates to my shoes. 1 had no more trouble with clamps pulling loose. A group of us would go down to the river and shovel the snow off the ice into piles. When we skated at night, we set lanterns on the piles to give us light. We would also try (in the daytime) to jump over one of the piles. I remember one of my scoutmasters who got a long start to jump over one of the piles. The toes of his skates hit the pile. He sprawled on the pile and slid over it. Another time a few of us boys skated as far as the Vermontville bridge and back. In the early winter, a neighbor of ours, Emmett Gibson, who had several children, would go out to the country dump with an axe and test the thickness of the ice to see if it was safe. He A very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year from our employees and their families to you and yours. Citizen’s Elevator ...in Vermontville was the official authority on the thickness of the ice. If he said it was safe, we skated, but if he said it wasn’t safe, we stayed off the ice. I got a pair of roller skates when I was in grade school and we skated all over town. Occasionally one of our teachers would get up a whole party of us at night and we would skate until about 9 o’clock. Then we would go to Diamante’s Ice Cream Parlor. If the weather was warm, we’d have ice cream. If it was chilly or cold, we’d have hot chocolate. When my folks moved to the hotel at Thornapple Lake, I worked for awhile at the skating rink, helping to keep the skates in. good condition. I also worked on various farms around Nash­ ville. A friend and I would arm ourselves with corn cutters and go from farm to farm cutting and shocking com. I liked the check row planting the best. We would leave four stalks in a square, uncut, bend them over cornerwise and tie them into a saddle. Then we cut 64 hills of corn in a large square and stacked them against the saddle. A corn leaf wrapped around the top of the stalks held the stack in place. We were paid five cents per shock for this work, but we could make quite a bit of money in a day’s time. It didn’t take long to set up a shock. It took longer on the drilled com. Occasionally, in the winter, we would go to some of the farms and tear the shocks apart. Then, using our husking pegs, we’d shuck out the com and put it in a pile on the ground, and then set the shock up over the pile again. The farmer could then haul the corn in when he had a chance. The corn stalks would be hauled to the barnlot and scattered for the cattle to feed on. One night, another friend and I were hiking along a country road not far from town when we heard a rustling noise out in a corn­ field. My friend said it sounded like a raccoon after some corn. We decided to go home for our shotguns and come back after Mr. Coon. When we got back, we eased out into the field. We could see pretty well, as the moon was full. We’d gotten almost to where the noise was coming from, when a fellow stood up and said, “Don't shoot. I’m just shucking my corn.” He was a local man, doing as we had done many times. So we didn’t get a coon that night. Occasionally, a circus came to town. I remember one time it was Hagenbach and Wallace. I think they had two elephants. We watched them being taken to the river for a bath. They waded into the water and squirted each other with water they had At Lentz Table Factory, Nashville's major employer of that era, Guy Howell found work when he left school in 1933. He earned 204 per hour working 10-hr. days as a filler in the finishing department on the second floor. drawn up into their trunks. We boys vied with each other for the job of carrying water to them during their stay in Nashville, for which we received passes for the performance. One time my dad and I went to Battle Creek when Ringling Bros, and Barnum and Bailey Circus was due to arrive. We stayed at my aunt’s place and went down between 3 and 4 a m. to watch the circus unload. The train came in on the Grand Trunk Western R.R., which ran near my aunt’s place. It was quite an experience. The caged animals were pulled by horses. There was one bad mud hole on the way to the circus grounds. They had an elephant stationed there to help the wagons through. When the wagon containing the hippopotamus came along, the elephant swung in behind it. As he was going along, a man in the crowd hollered to the elephant driver and told him the elephant’s head was two or three inches from touching the wagon. The driver looked down and immediately hooked him on the ear. The elephant closed the gap and starting pushing. It was really interesting to watch a big circus like that unload. Occasionally I would borrow a rowboat and go boating on the Thornapple River. There was a young man who lived near us who had a canoe on the river. Sometimes I would borrow that and go way up the river as far as the Vermontville Bridge. There was one real straight stretch that we came to quite suddenly, just around a bend. Just as we got around the bend, there was a hornets' nest hanging in a tree close to the bend. We always hurriedly pulled over to the other side of the river. They were baldfaced hornets and it was wise to give them room, lots of it. One day, one of the fellows, who had an old motor launch, took four or five of us up the river. We got into some pretty shallow water and scraped over a log. We got out of that, but on the way back, the boat suddenly left the channel and shot off into the weeds. We thought the owner was playing a prank on us and told him so, but he said no. After leaning over and feeling the rudder, he said the metal strap that ran along the bottom of the boat at the back had come off, due to scraping the log, and was hanging down, fastened to the rudder by only a cotter pin. There was a 1x6” board in the launch, so one of us sat clear in the back to steer, and the rest of us also crowded to the back end. When we got back into the channel, the owner gave the engine full throttle. We had a wall of water behind us and the bow was real high. We got home safely, however. I remember cutting wood on shares in the winter time. A friend and I used to go out in the woods and cut. He would borrow his dad’s Model T Ford and we would set out. Once place we cut at was off M-79, near Over­ smith Hill. We’d turn off onto a small rod, drive back in a few miles and pull into the woods. We used axes and a six-foot crosscut saw. We felled the trees, trimmed off the limbs, cut them into 18” blocks, then split and piled the wood. Usually the farmer would pay us for our share and keep all the wood. We carried sandwiches and thermoses of coffee for lunch. When lunch time came, we’d crank up the Model T and put the sand­ wiches on the engine block to thaw and warm. One evening, when we started home, we got to where the road climbed up to M-79. It was pretty steep, and when we got about halfway up, the low band gave out. We backed down and tried again, but no go, so we turned around. The low band worked fairly well on the level, so we started toward the other highway. I’m not certain now, but I believe it was M-66. Every time we came to a hill, we would turn around and back up, turn around on top and head for the highway again. It was after 9 p.m. when we finally got home. The low band was promptly replaced. I got out of school in 1933 and went to work at the Lentz Table Factory. My dad and brother worked there. I was making 20 cents per hour, 10 hours a day, and usually 5*A days per week. I worked on the second floor, in the finishing department, On a farm near Thornapple Lake, Ransom Howell poses near a corn shock typical of those har­ vested by his son Guy for 5<t each more than 50 years ago. At the time, the Howells lived and worked at the old Cole resort hotel near the lake. as a filler. We would mix a filling solution, brush it on the furniture and wipe it with tow, which is the same material that tow, or gunny sacks are made of. This would leave the furniture Clean, but the pores of the wood would be filled. Then it went to the glazing depart­ ment, where an oil glaze was brushed on and wiped with rags to bring out the highlights and dark places on the furniture. I worked in that department also for awhile. In 1934, I hitch-hiked to Alabama, where my mother was born and raised. When I returned in the fall, I went to Lou Lentz and asked for a job. “Your nui.toer is still on the time clock,” he said. “Punch in and go to work.” I believe my number was 143.

Too often there is too much attention given a discipline problem or the misbehavior of some student. This only involves a very small percent of the students. What we need to do is focus upon the good conduct of the high majority of students at Maple Valley which not only includes during the regular school day but also when they are participating in school ac­ tivities with other schools or other activities. The following are only a few examples of student success: 1. On the state assessment tests given in September, Maple Valley fourth grade acheivement scores in mathematics showed 97.3 percent df the students in the top category'compared with 81.8 percent in 1980. In reading 91.2 percent scored in the top category com­ pared with 74.7 percent in 1980. The State Department of Education guidelines are based upon seventy-five percent achievement on these tests, and these Maple Valley scores are very favorable with area schools. 2. The high school quiz bowl team is doing well in league competition. 3. Student ccomplishements at all grade levels are encouraging. 4. The Maple Valley athletic program in general has been successful, and a great deal of thanks has to go to the support given by the athletic boosters. 5. On Sunday, Dec. 11 the instrumental department including grades 6 thru 12 along with the high school choir presented a very en­ joyable concert. This is only one example of the many fine performances in this department. Again a thank you is given the band boosters for their fine sup­ port. Success in any school district is obtained through the cooperative efforts of everyone living within the district. The direct daily success relates to a dedicated teaching and non­ teaching staff. You are part of the success story, and it is necessary that school per­ sonnel have your continued support if the Maple Valley Schools continue to make educational improvements. Yes, we are proud of the Maple Valley students and their accomplishments. This does not mean that we cannot do better, and with your support we will do our best to provide the best possible educational program. The members of the board of education and I would like to take this opportunity to thank you for your past support, and we look forward to your continued support in the future along with par­ ticipation in the general school program. Please feel welcome to visit any of the schools at any time. I sincerely hope that all of you have a happy holiday season, and the personnel at Maple Valley look forward to working with you during the coming year.

December 20, 1983 — Page 10 Sports Maple Valley Lion eagers first in league action The Maple Valley Lions are all alone in first place in the Southern Michigan Athletic Association as a result of their two victories last week. Maple Valley fans were treated to defense at its finest Tuesday night as the Lions won their first game of the basketball season against league foe Pennfield. The hard-fought 56-50 victory was a team victory as the Lions hustled of­ fensively and defensively. The first half was a see­ saw battle with seven Lions contributing to the 20 point Valley score at halftime but Pennfield scored 25 points on its own. The second half was all Valley as the Lions received balanced scoring to tally an 18 point third quarter while holding Pennfield to 12. With 6:21 to play in the final period, the young Lions took final control with a 43-39 edge and never trailed after that. Jeff Hamilton tallied eight of his game total 16 points in the fourth quarter M.V.

Marty Martin had four steals and was the floor leader. Jeff Hamilton had eight assists offensively and Gary Reid, four. Scoring for the Lions were Kurt Hartenburg with 11 points; Greg Lenz, 7; Jeff Starring, 4; Shan Ferrier, 5; Ryan Trowbridge, 6; Marty Martin, 4; Gary Reid, 3. The Lions had little time to savor Wednesday’s upset of Pennfield. League foe Bellevue hosted Valley on Friday and suffered their second league loss, 59-53, in a close contest. The lead changed hands 11 times and the teams were tied 16 times before the Lions pulled the game out with less than a minute to play. Though Valley held a 26-21 halftime edge, it didn’t take Bellevue’s Pat Wing long to put his Broncos ahead. Wing hit 10 of 13 shots from the field in the second half, scoring 23 of his team’s 32 second half points. Wing tallied 32 points for the night. But he wasn’t enough to counter the attack of the Lions who had Jeff Hamilton’s 22 points and Jeff Starring’s 15 points to hold off the Bronco charge. Starring was 7 of 7 from the free-throw line and Hamilton hit 4 of 5, two of which came with 54 seconds remaining to be played. His conversions from the charity stripe gave Valley a 53-52 advantage. Jeff Starring gave the Lions breathing room when he stole the ball from the Broncos and scored on a lay up. He added a free throw, giving the Lions the winning edge. Kurt Hartenburg and Ryan Trowridge grabbed key rebounds for Valley. Hartenburg added eight points. The Lions next meet Potterville at home on January 3. They travel to Olivet on Friday, Jan. 6. The 1983-84 Maple Valley basketball team: (front row, from left) Jim Symonds, Jim Benit, Jeff Starring, Jeff Hamilton, Shan Ferrier, Marty Martin. (Back row, from left) Terry Hall, Kurtis Hartenburg, Ryan Trowbridge, Greg Lenz, Alan Mater, Gary Reid, Scott Alldaffer, and Jerry Reese.

Monday, Dec. 26 and Monday, Jan. 2 �The Maple Valley News, Nashville, Tuesday, December 20, 1983 — Page 11 From our readers Holiday weight-watching tips offered To the Editor: Christmas is the time of being positive, of having hope and purpose, and being caught up in the spirit of joy and peace. Unfortunately, this is not always a fact. But the fault lies not with the message but in ourselves and our unwillingness to accept it. This is not the time to deal in negatives but we are remiss ifwe fail to take stock of conditions round about us. As a nation, we seem to have tried to cut ourselves loose from God. The great mistake was in thinking that “we could go it alone”. Thus we have anxiety and even fear. America is threatened from within and without. In Michigan, our Capitol is in a virtual state of paralysis. No one, even the harshest critics, appears to have the answer. We have seemingly come $ to recognize Christmas as only a time of bonuses, of days off from work and of receiving presents. In a sense, we have come to demand the blessings but to ignore or scorn the One who Blesses. In our rural areas, I believe that we have a better perspective. We know that which is real and that which is only tinsel and sham. I believe that we are part of the very heart and the hope and promise that is Christmas. I believe that we have the humility of true faith. In the minds and heart of the majority is the recognition that God sent His only Son at Christmas time so long ago to point us the way to Life Abundant and Life Eternal. I believe in the future of this wonderful, free nation in which you and I are privileged to be citizens. If God Himself ordained it, then we must do our part to sustain it. A special prayer that the presence of a great, loving God will encourage those who have lost loved ones during the past year. To all my readers, may Christmas, 1983 be more meaningful and more hopeful than ever before. Sincerely, Edgar Fleetham Eaton County Commissioner time this Christmas ■<;. and a healthy, happy 5$ New Year. Thank you for doing business with / us.

STATE LICENSE NO. 1612 The holiday season is particularly difficult time for individuals struggling with weight problems. Numerous parties, all in­ cluding tempting arrays of food, mean it’s easy to watch the best of diets dissolve in the Christmas egg nog and New Year’s champagne. “Eating and drinking provide solace,” East Lansing physician Philip Lange, MD, explains. “They generate feelings of security and love.” Without realizing it, many people use holiday gatherings and seasonal goodwill as an excuse to gorge themselves. But it doesn’t have to be like that, according to the Michigan State Medical Society. With a little motivation, there are good ways to ensure you don’t over-indulge. Faced with a lavish spread of food, many people say they feel obligated to eat and please their hosts. “But don’t fool yourself,” Lange cautions, “generally hosts are friends. If you explain you’re watching your weight, they’ll not be in­ sulted if you don’t taste every offering.” Perhaps the best method to limit food intake during large holiday dinners is to focus on the social occasion, not the food. Serve the meal from a sideboard or an altogether different room. “It sounds too simple,” says Lange, “but keeping serving dishes off the table helps prevent you from taking seconds.” Consider also using smaller plates. Since most people feel compelled to eat all they take, the less food there to begin with, the better. Other ways of reducing Maple Valley Co-Op Nursery School holds Christmas drawing On Dec. 10, the 3rd Annual Maple Valley Co-op Nursery School Christmas drawing was held at Putnam Library in Nashville. On hand for the drawing was Santa Claus and a number of other nursery school families. The drawing consisted of two $50 drawings, four $10 drawings, four $5 drawings and a gift certificate for a turkey or ham. The $50 winners were Ken Conkey of Vermontville and Sandy Scaub of Nashville. Other winners were Helen Decker of Nashville, Rick Anthony of Battle Creek, Wes Shaw of Mason, Sue Kendyke of Haslette, Marcia Benavidez of Vermontville, Bonnie Leep of Nashville, Sally Magoon of Ver­ montville, and Eleanor Rasey of Vermontville. The Nursery School would like to thank the Library for letting the group hold the drawing there, and to thank Santa for drawing the names. Also a special thanks to Maple Valley Standard, Cappon Oil Company, Ken Standard of Vermontville, Johnny’s Food Market of Vermontville, and Carl’s Food Market of Nashville for CARD OF THANKS We would like to thank our families, friends and neigh­ bors for all the acts of kind­ ness shown to us when we lost our home to fire. Words cannot express our gratitude for everything that was done for us. A special thank you to our families for their support and for making our new home feel like home. We’ll always be thankful in many ways. Thank you to the Nashville Fire Department, Barry County Police Department, Hastings Methodist Church, Catholic Church of Nash­ ville, Flex-Fab, Baby Bliss, and to all of you that helped us in your own special ways. Your thoughtfulness and kindness will always be remembered. We want to wish you all the Happiest of Holidays and a Great New Year.

Set limits for food intake and don’t exceed them. Try eating fruit or salad in place of sweet desserts. And chew slowly - it gives you time to feel your hunger satisfied. For those wine, cheese, and hors d’oeuvre affairs. Dr. Lange suggests either resisting the urge to partake, or eating and making that your meal. “It may not be a balanced meal, but doing that once may help you get it out of your system,” he explained. “Alcohol is another problem,” said Dr. Lange. “Essentially car­ a bohydrate, it adds calories just as readily as food. A single glass of white wine, for example, has about 100 calories. Stop after a glass or two and switch to water, it has no calories. You’ll be thinner and a safe driver.” The Michigan State Medical Society encourages persons to practice self­ discipline and enjoy both food and drink in moderation. “Not only will the difference be reflected in your body,” it noted, “but also in your self concept.” Marlene Lathrop will be doing . . .

You report for work tomorrow morning at 8 o’clock.” That was some of the hardest work I ever did. The joists for the second floor were made of steel and weighed around 500 lbs. each. There were three of us fellows toting them — one at each end and one in the middle! I tell you, that was about enough to make a person flat-footed. I was so tired some nights I couldn’t eat supper.

They set the beam on four steel bars with a man on each end of each bar, so there were eight of us carrying the beam. They weighed about 1000 lbs. each. It was rough, but I really enjoyed it. One of the bosses on that job liked to get the jump on a man, even as some bosses do today. Well, this boss jumped one of my friends because he didn’t move faster walking on the steel joists of the second floor. My friend told him he was uneasy walking a two-inch wide joist at that height. So the boss said, “If you’re afraid, get down and go get your pay. You’re fired!” When my friend went to the office, the big boss happened to be there, and asked what he was doing there at that time of day. My friend told him. “Go back and go to work,” the boss said. “There’s plenty of work on the ground floor. I wouldn’t go up and walk those joists myself.” Well, I never was a hand to PRODUCTS You pay only COUNTRY FRESH HOMOGENIZED *2.29 MILK each when you buy two half liter 8-packs Here’s how: Regular price for two ............ 5.78 Our special price for two...........................*5.38 Less coupon value ’0.80 Total price for two...

Ransom Howell is seen fating a block of ice at the door of an ice house near Thornapple Lake. Nearby his son Guy and a friend salvaged submerged rail­ road ties which once had carried trains to a RR ice house on the lake, where winter-harvested ice was stored for summer use in refrigerated cars. jump when the boss spoke. I believed in doing a good day’s work for my pay, and figured that was the best I could do. One day I was wheeling brick into the first floor to be unloaded on various stock piles where they were needed. I had set the wheelbarrow down and was looking to see which pile needed it. The boss hollered at me and told me to get a move on. “I was only looking to see which pile needed the brick,” I told him. He pointed to one of the piles and growled, “Take it over there and dump it.” I didn’t hurry any more than I had been. I just pushed the wheelbarrow over to the pile and flipped it upside down. “What do you mean by that?” he hollered. “Why didn’t you pile it up as you’re supposed to?” “I was just doing as I was told,” I replied calmly. You said, ‘Take it over there and dump it.’” He never tried to get the jump on me again. Another incident that happened on the schoolhouse job. They had gotten the wall of the gym up and it had set for several days, when some people were going through looking at things. One man put his hand on the wall and leaned on it. It toppled over into the gym and he nearly went with it. There were government inspectors there within a few days! It seems the company had been cutting corners, trying to make a little more money by using less material. They had a master mason working on the smokestack, Guy Howell, left, and his father, Ransom, are seen in this 1930s photo along Phillips St. Guy had just re­ turned from a trip to Alabama to one of his many local jobs, which included can-washer and butter-printer at the Nashville Cooperative Creamery. and I was helping him. I started in at 50 cents an hour and ended up at $1 an hour, which was big wages at that time 1935. Take it all around it was a good place to work. Most of the bosses, were good and realized any limitations of their men. I used to make a trip to Alabama every summer. I worked for various uncles and aunts, working in cotton fields and corn fields from sun-up to sun-down. I worked for awhile in the Co-op Service Station in Nashville on Sherman St., across from the creamery. I used to carry my lunch and invariably, just as I sat down to eat it, here would come the milk trucks across from the creamery to get gassed up. I said I thought they just sat over there and watched for me to start eating; then they would descend on the station. I tried eating earlier and later, but it made no dif­ ference. I got my lunch when they had all been serviced. Fortunately, my coffee was in a thermos bottle and the sandwiches were cold to start with. The pumps at that station had a glass tank at the top which held 10 gallons of gas. That had to be pumped full before we started using it. There was a handle on the side of the tank that was worked back and forth to do the pumping. We sold unleaded gas for 13 cents and leaded gas for 16 cents. A friend’s mother owned a cottage at Thornapple Lake. During the fishing and hunting seasons, we spent quite a bit of time there. Down the lake a ways from the cottage there had been a railroad ice house where they stored ice that was cut during the winter for use in the refrigerated railroad cars. The ice house had been torn down years before, but all the old railroad ties were in the bottom of theTake. My friend and I would take the boats, of which his mother had two, and go down there. We’d go overboard and lift one of the ties onto one boat and tow it back with the other. We stacked the ties in the front yard and let them stay all summer to dry. In the fall, we’d go to the cot­ tage and saw the ties into about eight or 10 inch blocks, and split them for use in the laundry stove that was in the kitchen. Oneday in the summer, we put out some bait for cat­ ching turtles. We took a board about 12 inches square and attached a bronze braided line about I’/z feet long, with a hook on it. We baited the hook with beef and threw it into a likely place in the lake. We went out next morning and the board was gone. Presently it popped up beside the boat, with a head Continued on next page— �The Maple Valley News, Nashville. Tuesday, December 27, 1983 — Page 5 Memories of the past, cont. alongside it. And what a head! It was a turtle and his head was four or five inches in diameter. He saw us and down he went. We never saw him or the board again. One night in the winter, we were in the cottage and I went outside for something. While I was out, I heard the most unearthly scream you can imagine. I ran back up the steps, only to find the screen door hooked. I hollered for my friend to open up and he finally did. He said he thought I made that noise to scare him. We both had five-cell flashlights and shotguns, so we went out back of the cottage to try and find out what made the noise. We found HUGE cat tracks, so we went back into the house for the night. Next morning, we followed the tracks across the lake into a little swamp where we caught sight of the cat. It was a Canadian lynx. We just turned around and went back to the cottage. One year we went to the cottage to do a little hunting around the lake territory. It had snowed a litte, so we figured we’d have good tracking. About the third night we were there, it started snowing, and it snowed and it snowed! For three days and nights it snowed! When it got through, there was four feet of snow on the ground. The night it stopped snowing, we were sitting by the stove in the kitchen. It kept getting colder and colder and we kept adding wood to the fire. The top of the stove was red hot and we could see our breath over it! The pump, diagonally across from the stove, was frozen. We set a thermometer on the porch and the mercury dropped to 32 degrees. We stayed about 1'6 weeks and were running out of food, so, as the Ford was snowed under back of the cottage, we hoofed it back to Nashville. For six weeks, the temperature stayed between 16 degrees above and 32 degrees below zero. We used to fish through the ice during the winter. Some people had square shanties that they hauled out on the ice. They would cut a hole three or four feet square and set the fish house over it. Others would just go out, cut a hole about a foot square and drop a line into it. Quite a few fish were caught.' A friend of mine had a shanty on Thornapple Lake. He went there once to spear moved into.a large, room. some fish, and had a minnow Periodically, a box car on a line, hanging in the would be run onto a siding water as a decoy.

As part of Public Act 437 of 1982, the gasoline tax increase will be divided up among state highway projects and county roads, municipal streets, and bus and rail systems statewide. BUSINESS MADE EASIER - The Michigan Department of Commerce has deemed 213 state business forms obsolete, after a thorough inventory of existing paperwork. This means the Department’s forms experienced a 21 percent drop, from 998 forms to 785. HOME CARE FOR HANDICAPPED - Legislation has been signed into law that will grant subsidies to families of emotionally handicapped children if they agree to care for the children at home, rather than in institutions. About 2,000 children and their families qualify for the subsidy which is equal to the federal supplemental security income grant which totals $2,500 annually. The intent of the new law is to allow families to care for their handicapped children, saving the state money by reducing the number of residents in state-maintained care facilities. COLLEGE ENROLLMENTS AT NEAR-RECORD HIGH The State Board of Education reports that enrollments in Michigan’s 101 colleges and universities are up one-and-onehalf percent compared to last year. There are currently 517,318 students enrolled in the state’s 15 public four-year universities, 29 two-year community colleges and 57 in­ dependent colleges compared to 509,396 last year, or an increase of 7,922. Michigan’s all-time high enrollment was reached in 1980, when 518,532 students were enrolled. WINTER WEATHER REMINDER The Michigan Department of Transportation is reminding motorists that many snow and ice-gripping attachments for tires are either banned in the state or strictly regulated. Tires with studs of tungsten carbide have been outlawed in Michigan since 1975. Tire chains are legal in Michigan, but only when there is ice and-or snow on the road. HOLIDAY TRAFFIC TOLLS PREDICTED - The Traffic Safety Association of Michigan predicts that the traffic death total for 1983 could be as much as seven percent below last year’s figure of 1,417 people killed on Michigan high­ ways. If the current trend continues, more than 90 lives will be saved due to seat-belt safety awareness and the new drunk driving law. Rep. Nash offers help with tax forms State Representative Ernest W. Nash (RDimondale) will be con­ ducting his annual January meetings to assist senior citizens, veterans and handicapped persons in filling out homestead property tax exemption forms.

Over 400 United Way volunteers from all sections of Michigan were in attendance. Each local United Way general Cam­ paign Chairperson was honored for the leadership and service provided to hisher local United Way. Rudy Othmer, Campaign Chairperson of the Woodland Community Chest, was presented a set of United Way of Michigan mugs for the outstanding leadership provided his local United Way. In a climate of beginning economic recovery, United Way volunteers have suc­ ceeded in raising thus far, $94,980,110 representing 102.20 percent of the statewide campaign goal. This amount is an increase of $6,452,396 over the amount raised in 1982. 24 State and National health and human service agencies are recipients of monies allocated by local United Ways through the United Way of Michigan. Howard L. Shapiro, Executive Director, United Way of Michigan, was the Keynote Speaker. Shapiro spoke of the challenges facing United Ways. He said, “(there are) increasing demands on the private sector. United Ways are being pressed to provide more services to more needy then ever before.” As a result of the increase in needs, Shapiro went on to say,”... (the) United Way movement cannot stand still ... it must change and respond to the changes in society. We must also look at new methods to achieve the United Ways’ goals”. Shapiro concluded his remarks by saying, “hard times have not prevented you (United Way leaders) from being successful.” Taiboys provided the music. The meeting was spon­ sored by major companies and organizations from around the state. DOLLAR DAYS $ COUPON Limit 2 6.4 Oz." 7Oz.* Limit 2 logiiu Mtr.

Nashville, Tuesday, December 27,1983 — Page 10 Thin ice spells D-A-N-G-E-R Michigan residents and visitors were given a seasonal reminder this week by State Police Director, Col. Gerald L. Hough, about the potential danger to persons who venture onto thin ice on outdoor water areas in early winter. Michigan water accidents statistics in the past have shown that non-boating accidents each year include some deaths caused by falls through ice. Because winter ice sometimes may look stronger than it is, Hough advised outdoor enthusiasts that ice thickness should be tested for safety where any doubt exists. “Be wary of areas where moving water under ice may keep the ice surface dangerously thin,” he added, pointing out that these unsafe spots generally would be on rivers or streams or over spring areas of ponds and at the inlet and outlet locations on lakes. In view of upcoming school vacations as well as at other winter times, Hough urged parents to be especially vigilant in warning children about outdoor ice dangers, suggesting supervision be provided in play areas as necessary. To safely bear the weight of individuals or small groups of persons, outdoor ice on lakes, rivers, and ponds, should be from twoto-four inches thick. For heavier weights, such as snowmobiles, thickness should range from five in­ ches and up for protection purposes. Hough stressed that there should be provisions made for emergency rescue as part of any outdoor activity involving ice-covered water areas.
